== Leaders of western world consider military action in Syria ==

<html>PARIS (AP) ― Western leaders are discussing whether to stage a military response to last week s alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria. France and Germany, which refused to support the 2003 Iraq invasion,[http://test.atfangshan.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3084504 Smartphone app helps police streamline fieldwork], suggested Monday they may take part. Russia said any such intervention would violate international law.

 Everything will come into play this week, he told Le Parisien newspaper. There are several options on the table, ranging from strengthening international sanctions to airstrikes to arming the rebels.

Hollande spoke with President Barack Obama on Sunday and told him France, like Britain, would support him in a targeted military intervention, according to the paper.

 It s still too early to say categorically what will happen, he was quoted as saying. The U.N. experts are going to investigate on site. We also have to allow time for the diplomatic process. But not too much. We can t go without a reaction when confronted with chemical weapons. 

Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said all the options are open. The only option that I can t imagine would be to do nothing.

GERMANY

Germany suggested for the first time it may support the use of force if a chemical weapons attack is confirmed.

 The suspected large-scale use of poison gas breaks a taboo even in this Syrian conflict that has been so full of cruelty, Chancellor Angela Merkel s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said Monday. It s a serious breach of the international Chemical Weapons Convention, which categorically bans the use of these weapons. It must be punished, it cannot remain without consequences. 

Germany has very clear evidence that this was a chemical weapons attack, Seibert said. He declined to speculate on what kind of response might now be needed in Syria,[http://al-wla.com/vb/showthread.php?p=64221#post64221 NASA&#039;s New Spacecraft Detects Its First 10 Supermassive Black Holes - News - Headlines &amp; Global News], but repeatedly refused to rule out the use of force.

___

RUSSIA

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Western nations calling for military action against Syria have no proof the regime is behind the alleged attack.

Lavrov says the countries calling for action have assumed the role of both investigators and the U.N. Security Council in probing the incident.

 They cannot produce evidence, but keep on saying that the red line has been crossed and they cannot wait any longer, he said at a Moscow news conference.

Lavrov likened the situation in Syria to the run-up before the 2003 Iraq invasion. He warned against military intervention in Syria, saying the use of force without a sanction of the U.N. Security Council is a crude violation of international law. 

___

BRITAIN

Foreign Secretary William Hague said disagreements among the five U.N. Security Council members have prevented any action over Syria from being taken for too long and complete unity wasn t necessary to launch a response.

 We cannot in the 21st century allow the idea that chemical weapons can be used with impunity, he said.

British Prime Minister David Cameron s office said lawmakers could be recalled to debate any potential action over Syria as soon as this week and that Cameron plans to meet with national security advisers Wednesday. Cameron s spokesman said London reserves the ability to take action swiftly if needed. 

Cameron later called Vladimir Putin and told the Russian leader there was little doubt that Syrian forces had been responsible and prevented immediate U.N. access to the site, suggesting they had something to hide, the premier s office said. Both agreed that any use of chemical weapons would merit a serious response from the international community, but Putin said there was no evidence about whether they had been used in Syria and, if so, who was responsible.

___

TURKEY

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said his country would take part in an international coalition against Syrian President Bashar Assad s regime if the U.N. failed to come up with sanctions to punish Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons.

Turkey was once a close Syrian ally, but turned into one of Assad s harshest critics and is a key supporter of Syrian rebels. Turkey has repeatedly struck back at Syrian territory in response to shelling, mortar rounds or fire from across the border since shells from Syria struck a Turkish village in October, killing five people.

___

UNITED NATIONS

Speaking to reporters in the South Korean capital of Seoul, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said if proven, any use of chemical weapons by anyone under any circumstances is a serious violation of international law and an outrageous crime. We cannot allow impunity in what appears to be a grave crime against humanity. 

In New York, U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said: Despite the passage of a number of days, the secretary-general is confident that the team will be able to obtain and analyze evidence relevant for its investigation of the Aug. 21 incident. 

___

EUROPEAN UNION

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said a decision about military intervention in Syria hasn t been made yet and the support of the U.N. Security Council for any such action remains extremely important. 

Ashton told reporters in Estonia s capital, Tallinn,[http://mam.we.ukm.edu.pl/index.php/User:Rovahomoimi#Ned_Kelly_awards_recognise_hard Ned Kelly awards recognise hard], the world needs to find a political solution for Syria s bloodshed. She said it is difficult for the 28-member EU to reach a joint conclusion, but the bloc is considering various options. 

Ashton said she has stressed the need to end the violence in recent conversations with China and Russia. She also said it is important that U.N. weapons inspectors are allowed to examine the evidence of a possible chemical weapons attack as quickly as possible to reach a conclusion. 

___

UNITED STATES

The Obama administration was expected to toughen its criticism of Syria s alleged chemical weapons use, with Secretary of State John Kerry cutting his vacation short to address the crisis as the U.S. considers possible military actions.

___

ISRAEL

President Shimon Peres has called on the U.N. to appoint the Arab League to set up a temporary government in Syria to stop the bloodshed.

Peres comments marked the highest-profile Israeli call for international intervention in neighboring Syria. Israel has been careful to stay on the sidelines of Syria s civil war, which has killed more than 100,000. But international demands have been growing for action amid the chemical weapons attack allegations.

Peres said foreigners will not understand what is going on in Syria so the U.N. should task the Arab League with setting up a government.

== Apple iPhone launch- Selling, trading in your old iPhone ==

<html>The prospect of Apple’s new iPhone or more likely iPhones ?being announced September 10 ?is leading to brisk trade in the resale market with sellers looking to cash in on their old smartphones to buy new.

And for those who would rather not venture onto Craigslist,[http://www.hkhobby.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2663588&extra=page%3D1 Haaretz.com News Widget Israel News Broadcast], eBay or another ad site, the age old practice of simply trading in your car for a new one has taken hold in the phone market with carriers offering credit towards new devices when you bring in the old. And then there are sites such as sellyourelectronics.ca that will pay for your used smartphone.

“Device trade in, or if you want to call them trade-up programs have been very, very popular and they continue to grow in terms of popularity,” said Brent Johnston, Telus vice-president of mobility solutions. “We see that as the iconic devices have proliferated and everybody wants the latest iPhone or Samsung device, those devices tend to keep their value in the secondary market.”



If you’re looking to maximize your return on your old smartphone,[http://calhounaviation.com/index.php/forum/welcome-mat/161121-refreshed-surface-2-and-surface-pro-2-expected-at-microsoft-sept-23-event-news-headlines-global-news#178341 Refreshed Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 Expected at Microsoft Sept. 23  Event  - News - Headlines & Global News], just like selling a car, selling it privately usually brings the biggest bucks. But just as some buyers prefer to hand over the keys to a dealer and not worry about selling on their own, for some consumers, convenience is worth taking a lower price for their trade-in.

Johnston said depending on the length of the contract, a buyer with an iPhone 5 purchased at the subsidized price when it was released a year ago, could find the trade-in covers most or even all of the remaining device balance.

What can you expect to get for your old phone?

I did a comparison of prices for an iPhone 4 32GB in good working condition among some of the options there are for trading in or selling your old phone. Prices vary depending on the condition.:

Carriers (I checked Telus, Bell, Rogers, Virgin Mobile) : $100
Best Buy, Future Shop: $100 in gift cards
eBay: listed as high as $300+
Craigslist: offered at $200 for a factory unlocked version
T-Booth Wireless: $45 to $125
Sellyourelectronics.ca: $234
If you’re planning to sell your old iPhone, you’ve already missed the window with the highest prices, since resale value drops somewhat the minute a new phone release is imminent and not just rumoured. The prices are expected to drop even more with next week’s iPhone announcement, which could see both an iPhone 5S and a discount version of the iPhone unveiled.

“Don’t wait if you want to sell,” is the advice from Gary Ng.



Is it time to trade up your old smartphone?

For early adopters, the answer is always yes but not everyone is ready to shell out upwards of $700 a year to have the latest smartphone on the market.

If you bought the iPhone 5 a year ago,[http://wsolaunchcode.com/forum/showthread.php?801741-Dennis-Rodman-may-train-North-Korean-Olympic-team-wants-to-bring-ex&p=1285156#post1285156 Dennis Rodman may train North Korean Olympic team, wants to bring ex], Ng suggests the upgrade won’t be worth making. It’ll be a little like the difference between the iPhone 4 and the 4S.

“The upgrade is not seen as an all new redesign,” said Ng. “It is a spec upgrade there’s a faster processor, the camera is supposed to have improvements for low light, there’s supposed to be a gold or champagne colour available and a fingerprint sensor built into the home button somehow.

“But if you have an iPhone 5 you probably don’t need to upgrade right now. It’s is pretty crazy to upgrade but for anyone who has an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, this is definitely the time to upgrade the jump is going to be pretty significant.”

Along with Apple’s new flagship iPhone, the successor to the iPhone 5 expected in the September 10 announcement, ?industry watchers are also think Apple will introduce its budget iPhone, so far dubbed the iPhone 5C by the rumour mill. With ?plastic case and supposedly to come in five colour choices, the 5C is expected to have a four-inch Retina display screen and be very similar in the rest of its specs to the iPhone 5.

Photos, said to be ones of the new iPhones appeared on the Chinese web site but were subsequently removed.



A cheaper version of the iPhone could put that phone in a price range that allows people to buy it outright,[http://smogdos.com/content/simmons-first-makes-bid-bankrupt-bank-holding-company%E2%80%99 Simmons First makes bid on bankrupt bank holding c], instead of signing on for what are now maximum two-year wireless contracts in Canada. Although you can get your carrier to unlock your phone check the specific conditions with your carrier buying a factory unlocked phone at full price means you’re not locked into a contract.

“Savvy buyers might want to work out the math,” said Ng.?“If you have a subsidized phone,[http://forum.coolstudy.org/thread-483134-1-1.html Washington Redskins strike first after backwards pass from Michael Vick], there is a minimum spend amount. If you don’t need an expensive plan, in the long run it might be better to pay the full price for the phone and get a cheaper contract.

“For people who have the money up front to purchase an unlocked phone, it gives you the mobility to move to any carrier you want to and go month to month.”

The expansion of data sharing also makes it easier if you want to hand down your old phone down to your child or give it to your partner or other family member.</html>

== WATCH- Burning Man 2013, as captured by drones ==

<html>When most people think of drones, they probably think of remote-fired missiles raining down on Pakistan and Yemen. But it turns out that drones or, technically,[http://cungseo.com/forum/showthread.php?1257062-Make-your-makeover-dreams-real-step-by-step&p=1984330#post1984330 Make your makeover dreams real, step by step], unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are also a pretty good platform for capturing a flavor of Burning Man, the surreal celebration of fleeting beauty, self-reliance, generosity, and elaborate self-expression held every year in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.

== Majority of blacks oppose Obama's Syria policy ==

<html>African Americans have been (and remain) President Obama s most loyal supporters and an almost monolithic voting bloc for both the president and the Democratic Party.
  But two new polls that assess Obama s quest for military action against Syria indicate that the president s Syria policy has caused the first serious breach in his once impenetrable black armor. Indeed, for the first time on any given issue, a majority of blacks not only disagreed with but also disapproved of the president s position. Likewise, a majority of Hispanics oppose a military response to reports that the Syrian government used chemical weapons.
  The numbers are revealing. One Washington Post poll had 40 percent of blacks supporting airstrikes, while 56 percent did not. For Hispanics, the figure was 31 percent supporting but 63 percent opposed.
  And, amazingly,[http://msi.sibsutis.ru/drupal/content/sen-manchin-pushes-45 Sen. Manchin pushes for 45], for the first time since he took office in 2009, whites and blacks tracked almost precisely equal on an issue. For whites, it was 38 percent supporting Obama s proposed attack against Syria, while 58 percent were opposed. This was a telephone survey done between Aug. 28 and Sept. 1 among a random national sample of 1,012 adults.
  A second survey by the Pew Research Center between Aug. 29 and Sept. 1 among 1,[http://lashekinahdejehovainc.org/web/ What would you be willing to trade to get a LT like Eugene Monroe-],000 adults yielded , according to a racial calculus provided to Journal-isms. The numbers of Asian and Native Americans were too small to be included in these results.
  The New York Times :
  A sharply divided Senate committee voted Wednesday to give President Obama limited authority to use force against Syria, the first step in what remains a treacherous path for Mr. Obama to win congressional approval for a military attack. 
  The Washington Post Tuesday  that Rep.  (D-Calif.) was one of 12 key voices in Congress for the Syria debate. Lee is a nationally known and fiercely anti-war liberal. She prevailed upon more than 60 of her congressional colleagues to sign a letter to Obama asking him to seek formal congressional authorization before attacking Syria.
  From the Post: Given her vocal stance, she could be especially influential over colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus, a bloc of more than 40 votes that the White House will need to ensure passage of a resolution in the closely-divided House. 
  Lee herself is quoted as : We must learn the lessons of the past. Lessons from Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and others. We must recognize that what happens in Syria does not stay in Syria; the implications for the region are dire. 
  A black columnist for USA Today agreed with Lee. DeWayne Wickham  on Tuesday, Yes, the 426 children killed by the use of a weapon of mass destruction which most of the world agrees is an unacceptable means of meting out death is a chilling reminder of the indiscriminate brutality of war. But in a conflict in which both sides are accused of committing gruesome war crimes, President Obama should not let himself be bamboozled into plunging this nation down another Middle East rabbit hole. 
  But syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr. (African American) of the Washington Post Writers Group , We don t have to be the world s policeman, but like it or not we are the world s moral referee. We haven t always done that when we should have, as when the United States turned a blind eye to what was happening in Germany in the 1930s. That s no excuse for refusing to do it now. We defend the powerless and voiceless. This is what America does. It is tough and often thankless work. But it is also indispensable work if we aspire to live in a civilized world. 
  Bridget Johnson, also black, is the Washington editor of something called PJ Media a conservative libertarian news and opinion site. She recently appeared on NPR s Tell Me More program and made this rather :
  You know, this is nauseating that we re having this argument that somehow says a Syrian life is worth less than another life. You know, if this was happening in Brussels right now we would be all over it. If it was European intervention,[http://www.magmo3talqahtani.com/vb/showthread.php?p=41125#post41125 Miley Cyrus New Music Video “Wrecking Ball”- Singer Goes Fully Naked - Entertainment - Latin Post], we would not hesitate one minute. If it was Rwanda,[http://www.skinsight.com/info/forum/skin-conditions-and-skin-disease/rare-skin-disease/votes-set-fill-3-mass-house-seats Votes set to fill 3 Mass. House seats], that s another story.... 
  Interestingly, the Pew survey referred to above asked this question: Do you think  has explained clearly why the US should launch military airstrikes against Syrian military targets or has he not explained the reasons clearly enough? 
  Among non-Hispanic whites, 30 percent said yes and 49 percent said not clearly enough; among non-Hispanic blacks, 51 percent said yes and 35 percent said not clearly enough. The remainder said they did not know.
  The White House announced just Friday that the president will address the nation on Tuesday evening in an attempt to make the case for attacking Syria.
  Asked, Do you think US airstrikes in Syria are likely to lead to a long-term US military commitment there?, 62 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 60 percent of non-Hispanic blacks said yes; 26 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 25 percent of non-Hispanic blacks said no.
  Asked, Do you think US airstrikes in Syria are likely to create a backlash against the US and its allies in the region?, 76 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 69 percent of non- Hispanic blacks said yes; 14 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 19 percent of non-Hispanic blacks said no.
  Fifty-seven percent of non-Hispanic whites and 61 percent of non-Hispanic blacks agreed that the US should first get a United Nations resolution to use force before taking military action against Syria. 
  Opinion
  As I have written previously, the bloom is finally off the Obama rose insofar as black people are concerned. The list of disappointments and broken promises is far too long to chronicle, once again, here. But suffice it to say that we have sat back quietly,[http://sun7-forum.co.de/forum/index.php?topic=166172.msg172147#msg172147 Teen battles cancer, raises funds], hopefully, and watched this man put three women on the Supreme Court without even bothering to interview even one black female jurist.
  We have looked on in utter amazement as over and over again Obama goes to bat for gays and gay marriage.
  How can we not help but notice that his No. 1 domestic push these days seems to be immigration reform, while this nation-state s cities and urban enclaves deteriorate at an ever-increasing rate.
  And, Obama has dispatched his attorney general to at least give lip service to the burgeoning, overflowing-with-black-and-brown-bodies jails and prisons. But both of them refuse to make the new sentencing guidelines regarding crack versus powder cocaine retroactive. Thus, thousands upon thousands of low-level, nonviolent, mostly black and brown offenders will remain locked up almost indefinitely.
  Obama s performance at the 50th commemoration of the March on Washington last month seemed perfunctory, overly scripted, and certainly contained no policy prescriptions for what ails black America.
  There are many more issues which affect blacks specifically and directly, but which this first black president has not deigned to address.
  But this latest foray into Syria seems to have been something of a tipping point, for it has brought about a perceptible sea change in black peoples perception of this man. His rhetoric and proposals therefor are damn near identical to the rhetoric and practices of his predecessor, .
  And the thing is, Obama does not seem to notice this change nor even care.

== ‘Bandaloops’ take dancing to the next level at t ==

<html>Onstage, the Bandaloops dance group members are incredibly talented dancers, but what sets them apart is the harness that saves their lives every time they perform at an outside show.
The Bandaloops stage is not horizontal. They perform on the outsides of buildings, mountains and national landmarks. Bandaloops, started back in the 1990s, has gone on many international tours and has performed all over the world. For the second time during the last decade, they are going to visit the Utah Arts Festival and perform on the side of the Salt Lake City Library.
Lisa Sewell is the festival director of the Utah Arts Festival and is excited to bring back Bandaloops. 
Bandaloop performers take their lives into their hands every time they perform their vertical dances. (Courtesy Greg Bernstein)

 It is something that you would never see here in Salt Lake, Sewell said. They are artisans,[http://kdkz.hr/kdkzforum/index.php/topic,252484.msg365788.html#msg365788 Court will make or break legislative deal on California’s overcrowded pris], they are dancers and they are professionals They dance in a different format than you would normally see. 

Rachael Lincoln, assistant artistic director in Bandaloops, has been with the dance troupe for 15 years. She told the story of Amelia Rudolph, who founded Bandaloops 22 years ago. Rudolph had an epiphany about the relationship between climbing and dance when climbing a mountain. The fact that Bandaloops has such a unique way of performing on buildings, Lincoln said, allows the group to touch audiences in an unprecedented way.

 One thing that we are really interested in doing is changing perspectives,[http://maliks.sy2.com/ Proposal to relax anti], Lincoln said. We treat vertical surfaces like (they are) the floor. When (the performance)?is done well, it does something different to the performers brain It s like gravity isn t working the way that we know gravity to work. 

The end result of the new plane of dance is that the audience is forced to open their minds up to new possibilities.

 (We are about) developing moments of disbelief and therefore creativity that wasn t acceptable before, Lincoln said.

 Bandaloops also draws a different demographic of audience then dance groups are generally thought to attract in a theater.

 It is not the same group of audience members that you find everywhere else, Lincoln said. (The audience) is (a) much much more diverse audience. 

Bandaloop performers said they highly enjoy performing on the Salt Lake City Library because of how reflective the venue is, and how warm the audience can be. (Courtesy Bandaloops)

Lincoln said the diverse audience is part of the attraction to the Bandaloops performances,[http://www.87years.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1466563 Solar boat reaches Paris after crossing Atlantic], because Bandaloops wants to take art into the public sphere.

 It is really special for us to be in an Arts Festival,[http://wiki.90dar100.ir/index.php/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Rovahomoimi#Iraq_sack_Serbian_coach_Petrovic Iraq sack Serbian coach Petrovic], Lincoln said. We are trying to bring public art into different spaces We really want to get people to open their minds and get really excited about doing something different. 

Josh Littlefield a 22-year-old finance junior from Orem, says he respects what Bandaloops are doing.

 I am pretty impressed, Littlefield said. I say that a lot, impressive, just because it really is ?On a horizontal plane it is difficult, so I can see it being a lot harder on a vertical plane, so I really respect the group after what I ve seen, because that takes a lot of talent,[http://www.eyes-ksa.com/vb/showthread.php?p=471937#post471937 Nadal crowns brilliant year with U.S. Open title_2], for sure They d have to apply everything that you have to do on a horizontal plane, and then add another aspect to it at the same time, like controlling your gravity and at the same time, make it entertaining for people. 

Littlefield thinks Bandaloops is opening up a new field for dance.

 Dance is an art, Littlefield said. ( Bandaloops ) is helping people to see the beauty of art every part of their body is forming this art piece It opens (the audience s) eyes and it gives them more joy, and it helps them be able to think outside the box.</html>

== Firearm magazine maker Thermold moving to Fort Smith, creati ==

<html>A manufacturer of magazines for firearms and weapons will relocate its U.S. headquarters to Fort Smith, investing more than $7 million and adding 65 jobs there,[http://mengta.org/index.php?title=User:Rovahomoimi#New_York_Knicks_Rumors-_Knicks_players_starting_to_workout_t New York Knicks Rumors- Knicks players starting to workout t], officials said Tuesday.

Thermold Magazines will move from North Carolina to Arkansas, where River Bend Industries will make the magazines for Thermold and Thermold will assemble and distribute them,[http://forogaritv.webege.com/index.php?topic=2058.msg2280#msg2280 Common Core rift confronts Gov. LePage], the Arkansas Economic Development Commission said.

The new jobs will be split between the two companies.

Gov. Mike Beebe was expected to help announce the relocation at a news conference in Fort Smith on Tuesday morning.

“This announcement does more than bring jobs to Fort Smith,[http://maoy.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=1448438 Swiss agree to raise legal prostitution age to 18], it brings another center of activity to Northwest Arkansas,[http://albayano.com/blogs/post/10432 iPad Mini and iPad 5 Release Dates- New Leaked Images Show Best Glimpse of Next],” Beebe said in a statement. “While Thermold Magazines and River Bend Industries will work together here to strengthen manufacturing processes and products, Thermold’s decision to also move its U.S. headquarters to Fort Smith shows the stability and manufacturing strength of this region.”

Sylvan Bednar, president of Thermold Magazines, said the company is "committed to helping get people back to work and being a positive influence within this great community."

Thermold originally made molded plastics injection products for the automotive industry when it was started in the 1960s and now produces magazines for military personnel, law enforcement officers and sport shooters,[http://www.eleganthack.com/ Far Northern Calif. fire destroys 30 structures], the commission said.
