Hi! Happy Thanksgiving, although I know that every day is a day to give thanks. My name is Mary Jane... :-)

Thank you for stopping by the show. There is so much going on in the World today that if you don't have Christ as your guide you will get lost in the shuffle and loose hope quickly because it 'looks' like evil is going to prevail. Evil has but a short time and that is why the volume and the occurrences have increased. But praise be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Glory! Again thank you for stopping by and for the information you are providing, it allows whosoever reads it to draw their own conclusion!

تقسیم موتور سواران تهران به دو گروه خودی و غیر خودی!
سردار رجب زاده فرمانده انتظامی تهران بزرگ اعلام کرد که با موتورسواران متخلف در آینده نزدیك برخورد می شود. این برخورد در چارچوب اجرای طرح انضباط اجتماعی در پایتخت صورت میگیرد. او گفت: میخواهیم به اغتشاشات موتورسواران در سطح شهر خاتمه دهیم. موتورسیكلت وسیله نقلیهای است كه باید تمام قوانین راهنمایی و رانندگی رعایت كند . 98 درصد از كیفقاپی و زورگیری توسط موتورسواران انجام میشود.
فرمانده انتظامی تهران بزرگ یادش نبود بگوید 90 در صد چماقداران و قمه کش های لباس شخصی – بسیج و انتظامی- که تحت حمایت نیروی انتظامی مردم را در خیابان ها کشتند و زخمی کردند موتورسوار بودند. 10 در صد بقیه آنها که به مردم شلیک کردند و باطوم بر سر و صورت آنها کوبیدند نیروی لباس بر تن انتظامی بودند.
کدامیک از این دو گونه موتور سوار برای مردم خطرناک ترند. آن که کیف می قاپد و یا آنکه جان می قاپد؟
هم کچل و هم موفرفری که نمی شود! اگر موتورسوار متخلف را باید متوقف و حتی دستگیر کرد، چرا آن موتورسواری که به روی مردم تیغ می کشد، نارنجک گاز خردل و ففلل بسوی رئیس اسبق مجلس پرت می کند باید مصونیت انتظامی داشته باشد؟

متوسط انتقال روزانه پول از ایران به دوبی توسط صرافی های مستقر در این شیخ نشین بیش از 100 میلیون دلار است. این مبلغ بیشتر جهت انتقال مجدد به کشورهای دیگر جهت خرید کالا و واردات به ایران استفاده شده و مقدار کمتری در دوبی رسوب می شود. واردات رسمی ایران طی دوره 4 ساله 84 الی 87 مبلغ 190 میلیارد دلار اعلام شده است که بخش اعظم این واردات از طریق دوبی تدارک می شود، در حالیکه واردات سال 88 بیش از 60 میلیارد دلار تخمین زده میشود. تجار ایرانی که سالیان متمادی در دوبی حضور داشته اند کمتر در بازارهای سهام سرمایه گذاری کرده اند ولی زیان اصلی آنها در بخش ساختمان بوده است که ظرف 9 ماه گذشته بیش از 50% افت قیمت داشته و پیش بینی می شود پس از بحران اخیر با افت بیشتری مواجه شود.
9 ماه پس ازاعلام بحران مالی جهانی، و در حالیکه بازارهای مالی مدعی جرقه های بهبود در این بازار بودند و تحلیل گران تمجید ازعملکرد محرک های مالی توسط امریکا را شتاب بخشیده بودند، ناگهان "دُمل" چرکین سیستم مالی جهانی در شیخ نشین کوچک دوبی ترکید! این درحالی است که سرمایه داری جهانی فروپاشی سیستم های مالی را زلزله کوتاه مدت قلمداد می کرد.
مقامات دوبی در حالیکه 15 روز به سررسید پرداخت اولین بخش از بدهی 60 میلیارد دلاری شرکت دوبی ورلد مانده بود اعلام کردند که قصد دارند سررسید اولیه را حداقل 6 ماه به تعویق بیاندازند. آنها با استفاده از تعطیلات عید قربان و سپس جشن اتحاد در امارات عربی متحده سعی کردند سقوط بازارهای مالی را کنترل کنند.
با اعلام خبر احتمال به تعویق افتادن بازپرداخت بدهی شرکت دوبی ورلد بازارهای ژاپن و شرق آسیا با افت ارزش روبرو شده و روز بعد این افت به بازارهای اروپا و انگلستان و سپس آمریکا رسید. امارات که بیشترین کاهش ارزش ها برای آن پیش بینی میشد، با استفاده از تعطیلات عید قربان توانست ضربه های اولیه را کنترل کند ولی در اولین روز کاری در بازار سهام، ابوظبی با 5/8 % کاهش و دوبی با 5/7 % افت مواجه شدند و در ساعات اولیه معامله این بازارها 33 میلیارد درهم ( 9 میلیارد دلار) ارزش خود را از دست دادند. این بازارها پس از دو روز کار بیش از 12% از ارزش خود را از دست دادند. روز گذشته نیز این کاهش ارزش در دوبی با اندکی کاهش نسبت به روز قبل، به 6 در صد رسید.
کاهش ارزش سهام به حدی بود که شیوخ ابوظبی و دوبی وارد صحنه شدند. بانک مرکزی امارات اعلام کرد که آماده است نقدینگی بیشتری در اختیار بانک های محلی قرار دهد. شیخ ابوظبی از قوی بودن اقتصاد امارات سخن گفت و شیخ دوبی اعلام کرد که شرکت دوبی ورلد ارتباطی به دولت امارات ندارد. همه اینها برای جلوگیری از سقوط بیشتر بازار های امارات بود که احتمال دارد اگر روند سقوط ادامه پیدا کند و به سطح معینی برسد بحال تعلیق درآید.
هرچند مقامات دوبی شرکت دوبی ورلد را غیر دولتی اعلام کردند ولی این شرکت با بازوهای بسیار مهم خود، از جمله شرکتهای DP World در بخش دریایی و شرکت های نخیل و لیمیت لس در بخش ساختمان و شرکت های استثمار و مولتی کومودیتی تقریبا مالک بلامنازع دوبی است. دارایی های این شرکت از جزیره نخل دوبی گرفته تا سرمایه گذاری 5/5 میلیارد دلاری در کازینوهای شرکت MGM در امریکا وسعت دارد. کشیدن خط مرزی بین دولت دوبی و این شرکت بیشتر تدبیر و یا چانه زنی در سطوح بالای مالی بنظر میرسد تا عدم دارایی. چرا که درست پس از یک روز از بروز بحران در دوبی شرکت دوبی ورلد برای توافق در بازپرداخت 26 میلیارد دلار از بدهی های خود، از جمله مبلغ 6 میلیارد وام شرکت نخیل با بانکهای بین المللی وارد گفتگو شد.
تحلیلگران پیش بینی کرده اند که دوبی ورلد ناگزیر است بخش وسیعی از دارایی های بین المللی خود را بفروشد تا بتواند بدهی های خود را بپردازد. بدهی های این شرکت بیش از همه به بانک رویال اسکاتلند است ولی بانک HSBC وامهای کلانی به این شرکت پرداخته است.
بودجه سالانه امارات فقط 8 میلیارد دلار است در حالیکه سرمایه صندوق ذخیره دولت ابوظبی بین 400 تا 500 میلیارد دلارتخمین زده شده است. مجموع بدهی های دوبی بالغ بر 80 میلیارد دلار است که 59 میلیارد از این بدهی متعلق به شرکت هولدینگ دوبی ورلد است.
تجار ایرانی که سالیان متمادی در دوبی حضور داشته اند کمتر در بازارهای سهام سرمایه گذاری کرده اند ولی زیان اصلی آنها در بخش ساختمان بوده است که ظرف 9 ماه گذشته بیش از 50% افت قیمت داشته و پیش بینی می شود پس از بحران اخیر با افت بیشتری مواجه شود.
علیهذا ایرانیان بطور سنتی وزنه ای مشهود در امارات بحساب می آیند. متوسط انتقال روزانه پول از ایران به دوبی توسط صرافی های مستقر در این شیخ نشین بیش از 100 میلیون دلار است. این مبلغ بیشتر جهت انتقال مجدد به کشورهای دیگر جهت خرید کالا و واردات به ایران استفاده شده و مقدار کمتری در دوبی رسوب می شود. واردات رسمی ایران طی دوره 4 ساله 84 الی 87 مبلغ 190 میلیارد دلار اعلام شده است که بخش اعظم این واردات از طریق دوبی تدارک می شود، در حالیکه واردات سال 88 بیش از 60 میلیارد دلار تخمین زده میشود.

November 25, 2009 (LPAC)—A telephone-meeting of "ethics" advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Nov. 23, on the task of ratifying an "ethics guidance" on how to ration scarce mechanical ventilators in the United States, in the event of a severe flu pandemic, was transformed from its intended purpose of being a patsy-approval session, into a hot confrontation from LaRouche activist Marcia Merry Baker (EIR, Economics), over how unethical it is to refrain from calling for building up infrastructure, and instead to spell out how to send groups of people to death.
The ensuing flare-up among panelists, which included Norman Daniels, Harvard Professor of Ethics and Population Health, a eugenics apologist, Fellow of the Hastings Center, and author of many books on how-to-deny-medical-treatment "fairly," (e.g., Setting Limits Fairly: Can We Learn to Share Medical Resources, Oxford, 2002); has now gone viral in the political/health care media. Over the past 24 hours, coverage of the confrontation appeared in the ProPublica.org, Politico, and the NPR Blog, as the mood of revulsion against Washington grows. Excerpts appear below.
In the public comment period of yesterday's CDC hour-long session, after the Ventilator Guidance Workgroup voted up their 25-page draft "Ethical Considerations" report, Baker denounced it for involving such polite euphemisms for calculating who should die, as "Quality Adjusted Life Years" (QUALYS), "fair innings" and others, as the kind of pretense used by Tony Blair and his man Simon Stevens, now big at UnitedHealth Group, in England, when they set up their N.I.C.E. in 1999, to decide who must die. In reality, this talk, favored by Peter Orszag, is what Hitler did in 1939, with a decree about choosing whose life is worthy to be lived.
Baker said that, given the crash underway, the only ethical response is to build up health care facilities of all kinds—enough ventilators for a peak disaster, enough beds per 1,000 persons, enough mammography units per 10,000 women, etc., as an inherent part of building up all infrastructure—water, transportation, and the rest, as part of rebuilding the economy. Baker asked the CDC panelists to say how many ventilators there are today in the U.S.; Federal authorities didn't even start a survey until August, when they asked the Association of Respiratory Care to canvass their members. But no one could supply a number, saying only that "resources are not overwhelmed" at present. Dr. Drue Barrett, from the CDC office of the Chief Science Officer, and Designated Federal Official, for the Ethics Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee to the CDC Director, tried to smooth over the issue, by referring to another CDC report which is "proactive on infrastructure."
The standing estimate for the number of mechanical ventilators nationally is in the range of 65,000 to 105,000, and still less is known about their location.
- Press Reports -
From www.ProPublica:
By Sheri Fink, filed Nov. 23, 2009, 7 p.m. EST "Advisory Subcommittee to CDC Approves Ethics Guidance for Rationing Ventilators".
[Investigative reporter Fink is the main national journalist who has been covering—in The New York Times and elsewhere—the plans for rationing vaccine, and other scarce resources under conditions of pandemic.]
The vote to approve the document, which was unanimous among subcommittee members who attended the meeting, took place before the scheduled public comment period...
A caller who identified herself as Marcia Baker argued that the government should build for the peak of a severe pandemic rather than focusing on categorizing patients into what she referred to as polite terms for lives not worthy to live.
Harvard University ethics professor Norman Daniels responded that he was very puzzled by Baker's comments. It seems you're suggesting we could purchase ventilators to meet any crisis, he said. I'd like to know whether you want to pay the taxes.
Baker said, Yes, and not pay the bailout.
Daniels countered. You don't want a functioning economy but you want all these ventilators?
Drue Barrett, chair of the CDC's public health ethics committee, said that the ethics guidance discusses the importance of building our infrastructure to meet public health needs...
From Politico, Nov. 24, 2009:
By Josh Gerstein. "CDC Ventilator Rationing Panel Rejects Attack"
Members of a federal panel advising the Centers for Disease Control on guidelines for how ventilators should be allocated in the event swine flu worsens responded forcefully and, in one case angrily, on Monday to suggestions that the effort would cavalierly snuff out the lives of those deemed unworthy.
During a meeting of a CDC ethics subcommittee held via conference call Monday, a member of the public urged that, rather than focusing on who should and shouldn't get ventilators in a crisis, the focus should be on building up health care infrastructure to avoid such shortages.
"We don't even have enough beds per thousand in a lot of parts of the country," Marcia Baker said during the public comment period, before suggesting that the effort was akin to the kind of "rationing in England."
Baker, who did not further identify herself, later went beyond the England references, raising parallels to the Third Reich.
"If we otherwise keep presuming were not going to build for the peak of a severe pandemic, in case this current one even if it comes back in waves isn't, then we end up going down this road," she said. "It's kind of Hitlerian. You're going to have to decide who isn't worthy to live, and I think that's the basic ethical consideration that should be raised and not just accept the kind of triage decisions you're making. There's triage in the case of absolute catastrophe, but not self-made catastrophe."
Initially, the CDC's chief science officer, Drue Barrett, said the thrust of Baker's comment was a valid one.
That's a good point, Barrett said. It's something we do addressing terms of the importance of building infrastructure and being prepared for the next emergency. Our document does refer to that; it also refers to the need to balance pandemic preparedness requirements with other health care and public health needs.
However, one member of the panel took offense at the Nazi reference.
"Listen, I'm a member of the committee and I have to say, although you're perfectly free to express your point of view, I resent your assertion that anything we've done bears any resemblance to Hitlerian thinking," said Ron Bayer of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
Another panel member, Norman Daniels of the Harvard School of Public Health, suggested it was simply unrealistic and probably not even wise to stockpile enough ventilators to serve everyone who might need one in a severe flu epidemic that could sicken millions.
"I am really very puzzled at what you're suggesting," Daniels said to Baker. "It seems to me that you're suggesting we could purchase ventilators that would meet any crisis in number, regardless of how serious it was. And I'd like to know whether you'll want to pay the taxes?"
Earlier in the meeting, the subcommittee voted without dissent to adopt the proposed guidelines and send them on to the main advisory committee for approval. ProPublica has a write-up of the guidelines here and the near-final text here.
Panel members stressed Monday, at the request of CDC management, that the guidelines on rationing ventilators are not intended to be used at the moment, but only if hospitals and nursing homes become overburdened with severely ill flu patients.
"This document really applied to a time when the pandemic is so severe that the supply and resources are really overwhelmed," Barrett said. "At this point, it is not a severe pandemic."

The Iranian government has approved the construction of 10 new uranium enrichment plants, according to state TV, in a further escalation in the diplomatic battle over the country's nuclear capability.
The Iranian nuclear agency has been told by the government to begin work on five new sites, with locations for a further five to be found in the next two months, the report said. The decision was reportedly made during a cabinet meeting headed by the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this evening.
It comes shortly after Iran warned it may cut back already limited co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after being censured by the UN watchdog for concealing the existence of a nuclear enrichment plant.
MPs in Tehran today called on Ahmadinejad to reconsider his policy towards the IAEA after Friday's resolution insisting that Iran resume negotiations. It was the first time in nearly four years that Tehran had faced censure by all five permanent members of the UN security council – their rare unanimity reflecting deepening international exasperation over the impasse in nuclear talks.
Ali Larijani, the powerful speaker of the majlis (parliament), said: "If you do not abandon the ridiculous carrot-and-stick policy, we will take a new approach towards you."
The parliament also announced it was allocating $20m (£12.1m) to back unnamed "progressive" groups to combat US and British "conspiracies".
The majlis is dominated by hardliners who maintain pressure on the government to remain defiant despite talk of sanctions being imposed within weeks if nuclear negotiations do not make progress. "Because of world powers' behaviour, the government should submit its plan over reducing the level of Iran's co-operation with the agency," MPs said in a statement.
Parliament can oblige the government to decrease co-operation as it did in 2006, after the Vienna-based agency voted to report Iran to the UN security council. Western diplomats believe, however, that Iran will not burn its bridges with the IAEA for fear of alienating other countries who defend it on the grounds of its legal rights and western double standards.
Iran's formal position is that it is seeking nuclear power for electricity generation, as it is entitled to as a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. But it has failed to dispel suspicions that it is seeking secretly to build a nuclear bomb. September's revelation of the existence of a second enrichment plant near Qom fuelled those suspicions.
The US has warned that its patience is not unlimited, but doors are being left open in the hope that Iran will somehow re-engage.
Underlining the possibility of diplomatic progress, Turkey was reported to be mediating between Iran and the IAEA over a proposal that would see Iran's uranium processed overseas, according to al-Arabiya TV. Turkish-Iranian relations have warmed up in recent months.
Still, there is pessimism in western capitals about the prospect for a breakthrough because of the way the nuclear issue has become enmeshed in Iran's turbulent domestic politics.
Mehi Karroubi, one of the defeated reformist candidates in June's disputed presidential elections, attacked Ahmadinejad at the weekend for his "adventurist" nuclear policy. Karroubi and Mirhossein Mousavi, who says he beat the hardline incumbent, say they plan to keep on leading protests against the government.
Iran's parliament said that the $20m it had authorised would be disbursed by a committee including representatives of the ministries of intelligence, communications, culture and foreign affairs and the Revolutionary Guards, and would be used to target and resist US and British "conspiracies".
The announcement appears to fit in with a new emphasis on using "soft power" to combat Iran's western enemies, which it has repeatedly accused of seeking to foment a "velvet revolution" and orchestrating post-election protests in which dozens were killed in clashes with security forces and thousands detained. The money is being drawn from Iran's oil stabilisation fund. Recipients were not identified but there was speculation that the funds might be earmarked for groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Palestinian Islamists of Hamas, which Iran also supports.
