I NEVER imagined I would one day agree with that bizarre neoconservative warmonger John Bolton, who was briefly the US ambassador to the United Nations. In 1994, Bolton was quoted as saying "There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the UN secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference". I differ from Bolton only on one point. The entire expensive and useless organization founded in 1945 to prevent wars and pursue human rights should be demolished because it has failed to live up to its charter over and over again. On Saturday night, the UN Security Council met in a closed-door emergency session so as to agree a resolution on Gaza, where more than 520 Palestinians have been murdered and over 3,000 wounded. But due to American pro-Israel bias, hypocrisy and double standards its members couldn't even come up with a joint statement calling for an immediate cease-fire. For once, Britain broke with its joined-at-the- hip US ally and demanded an end to the aggression whereas only last week it, too, had blocked UN calls for a cease-fire. It seems that Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decided he is no longer willing to provide Washington with moral cover but unfortunately this is too little, too late. Saturday's stalemate is a repeat of attempts in the summer of 2006 to end Israel's war on Gaza that robbed the lives of 1,200 civilians. Then, the US and Britain, both veto-holders, stood together against the rest of the world and allowed the carnage to go on until it looked like Israel was receiving an unexpected bloody nose. The council's current inaction was too much for the president of the UN General Assembly Miguel d'Escoto Brockman, who termed it "a monstrosity". "Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunction of the Security Council," he said, while blaming certain countries for playing politics. Article 1 of the UN Charter headed "Purposes of the United Nations" calls for the body "to maintain international peace and security, and to that end: To take collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace; and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes..." Article 73 states members of the UN which have responsibilities for the administration of territories whose people have not attained a full measure of self-government must recognize the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of these territories are paramount and must ensure, with due respect for the culture of the peoples concerned, their political, economic, social and educational advancement, their just treatment and their protection against abuses". The UN has failed on all the above points and more. It does not maintain international peace and security. It does not suppress acts of aggression or settle international disputes and it does not censure Israel's willful failure to hold the interests of the occupied Palestinians paramount and protect them against abuses. The charter is further based on the sovereign equality of all its members. This fine sentiment has turned out to be a huge joke. There is no equality amongst members and there cannot be as long as the five permanent members of the Security Council have veto power - a power, by the way that cannot be withdrawn unless the five veto-holders agree. In reality, the 192 member states are under the boot of the five veto-holders. This situation makes a mockery of the term United Nations. There are the five bosses and then there are the others. To be precise, there are six bosses, one unofficial. Israel and the US are practically one when it comes to foreign policy and, thus, Israel receives carte blanche to produce undeclared nuclear weapons, carry out a policy of extrajudicial assassinations as well as bomb and invade neighboring countries at will. The US vetoes most resolutions critical of Israel and blocks all resolutions binding under Chapter 7. No wonder Israel feels free to publicly confront the veracity of UN representatives who say there is a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza and expel those it doesn't like such as UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk, who says he was treated like some sort of security threat locked in "a tiny room that smelled of urine and filth". Falk received such appealing treatment all because he had spoken out against Israel's violations of international humanitarian law. A fair and just world formed by the true will of all the international community requires a nonelitist body where all nations are empowered with a vote that counts. Moreover, such an organization should not be headquartered in the US where delegates are vulnerable to being browbeaten, threatened, bribed and monitored as occurred in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Do you notice how George Bush and his administration alway's take Israel's side. It doesn't take a genius to notice this, but do you ever get the feeling that the US never investigates in these "incidents" for itself, they just rely on what the Israeli's tell them, which is proof to show you WHO is in control, America or Israel. I mean, all George Bush's been saying in speeches is saying childish statement's which are of no relavence. In his resent speech press he said: " Hamas has to stop sending rockets into Israel" OMMMGG......... It's like, Mr. Bush how much time did it take you to come up with this conclusion? This administration alway's takes the easy way out of everything, and that way is just following everything Israel tells you. Sarah Palin said, and I quote "I believe the United States should never second guess Israel because we cannot allow another Holocaust to happen." Do they realize another Holocaust IS happening because of their TOTAL TOLERANCE towards Israel? Thank GOD she did not win. And I think Obama is going to be even more Pro-Zionist. The American government should start to develope a brain of their own in which their are able to comprehend the picture's of Palestinians being oppressed, everyday, and not just going with whatever Israel say's. It's like, 1,200 civilian's die in 2006 after Israel carpet bomb's Lebanon, and all George bush come's up with is "Hezbollah has to stop doing this S*H*I*T". He seriously said this, look it up on youtube. Zionist's will alway's say something like, but look at those 40 civilian's killed by the Hezbollah rockets. They say this as if Hezbollah Intended to do this.Hezbollah's rocket's are UN-GUIDED, while the Isreali missiles are LASER GUIDED. Atleast Hezbollah apoligize's for the death's, and doesn't use a pretext like, Oooh but Israeli soldier's were hiding in civilain housings.... What do you think about this? @JEA: You sound SOOO ignorant, I won't even respond to your immature and juvenile statement. Trust me Jea....you do not want me to respond....I will leave somebody to do this. I am tired with having to debate/argue with the like's of you. Talk to your mother and father like this, but do not talk to me like this, I don't know you, so save your critisicm to a retard who would like to respond to you. Jon H: By what you are saying, that mean's Hamas should go tell Israel to "know that $#!& off" because it was Israel who broke the truce more than once, killing Hamas soldiers, and blocking the transportation of Medicine and Food into Gaza.

inventory system, uses a LIFO flow assumption, and ends its fiscal year at December 31. At the year end, the cost of goods sold and inventory are adjusted to reflect periodic LIFO costing procedures. A railroad strike has delayed the arrival of purchases ordered during the past several months of 2001, and Steel Specialties has not been able to replenish its inventories as merchandise is sold. At December 22, 2006 one product appears in the company?s perpetual inventory records at the following unit costs: Purchase Date Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost Nov. 14, 1954 3,000 Rs. 6 Rs. 18,000 Apr. 12, 1955 2,000 8 16,000 Available for sale at Dec. 22, 2001 5,000 Rs. 34,000 Steel Specialties has another 8,000 units of this product on order at the current wholesale cost of Rs. 30 per unit. Due to the railroad strike, however, these units have not yet arrived (the terms of purchase are F.O.B. destination). Steel Specialties also has been an order from a customer who wants to purchase 4,000 units of this product at the retail sales price of Rs. 45 per unit. Steel Specialties intends to make this sale on December 30, regardless of whether the 8,000 units or order arrive by this date. (The 4,000 unit sale will be shipped by truck, F.O.B. shipping point.) Requirements: a) Are the units in inventory really almost 50 years old? Explain. b) Prepare a schedule showing the sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross profit that will result from this sale on December 30, assuming that the 80,000 units currently on order (1) arrive before year ends and (2) do not arrive until some time in the following year. In each computation, show the number of units comprising the cost of goods sold and their related per unit costs. c) Comment on the results obtained in the part (b). d) Management should delay this sale by a few days or not? Explain the reasons for your answer. CASE STUDY # 2: It is late summer and National Motors, an auto manufacturer, is facing a financial crisis. A large issue of bonds payable will mature next March, and the company must issue stock or new bonds to raise the money to retire this debt. Unfortunately, profits and cash flows have been declining over recent years. Management fears that if cash flows and profits do not improve in the current year, the company will not be able to raise the capital needed to replace the maturing bonds. Therefore, members of management have made the following proposals to improve the cash flows and profitability that will be reported in the financial statements dated this coming December 31, 2003. 1. Switch from the LIFO method to the FIFO method of valuing inventories. Management estimates that the FIFO method will result in the lower cost of goods sold but in higher income taxes fro the current year. However, the additional income taxes will not actually be paid until early next year. 2. Switch from the 150%-declining ?balance method of depreciation to the straightline method and lengthen the useful lives over which assets are depreciated. These changes would be made only for financial reporting purposes, not for income tax purposes. 3. Pressure dealers to increase their inventories-in short, to buy more cars. (The dealerships are independently owned; thus dealers are the customers? to whom National Motors sells automobiles). Management estimates that this strategy could increase sales for the current year by 5%. However, any additional sales in the current year would be almost entirely offset by fewer sales in the following year. 4. Require dealers to pay for purchases more quickly. Currently, dealers must pay for purchases of autos within 60 days. Management is considering. reducing this period to 30days. 5. Pass up cash discounts offered for prompt payment (that is 2/10, n/30), and do not pay any bills until the final due date. 6. Borrow at current short-term interest rates (about 10%) and use the proceeds to pay off long-term debt bearing an interest rate of 13%. 7. Substitute stock dividends for cash dividends currently paid on capital stock. Requirement: a) Fill in the table given below by indicating, whether the above seven proposals will increase, decrease or have no effect on captions given in the table. Proposals Net Income Cash Flow from Operating activities Cash 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 b) For each of the seven proposals, write a short paragraph explaining the reasoning behind your answer to part a.

And got completely kicked in the gut for making some pretty naive statements about gun laws in America, which i know little about. So i am going to refine my question and re-ask it. I understand there are strict laws concerning guns and the right to hold a firarm in USA, but why are there so many shootings all the time? Obviously the argument "Guns dont kill people, people kill people" is obvious, but there must be a reason OTHER than mentally ill people cracking and killing. How do teenagers get hold of guns and ammo? Why do SMALL CHILDREN know how to hold use a gun? Gun violence in the United States is associated with the majority of homicides and over half the suicides. In 2005, almost eight young people aged 19 and under were killed a day in gun homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings in the United States. In 2006, 48 per day were non-fatally wounded.2 The scourge of gun violence frequently attacks the most helpless members of our society - children In 2005, 81% of murder victims aged 12 to 24 years old were killed with a firearm. Eighty-five percent of youths under age 18 who died by firearm suicide used a family member's gun, usually a parent's. gun in the home is 11 times more likely to be used in an attempted suicide than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense. As of 2004, there were approximately 283 million privately owned firearms in the U.S -- 40 percent of them handguns. In 1998 alone, licensed firearms dealers sold an estimated 4.4 million guns, 1.7 million of which were handguns.4 Additionally, it is estimated that 1 to 3 million guns change hands in the secondary market each year, and many of these sales are not regulated In 2005, 30,694 people in the United States died from firearm-related deaths ? 12,352 were murdered; 17,002 killed themselves; 789 were accidents; 330 died by police intervention, and in 221, the intent was unknown. In comparison, 33,651 Americans were killed in the Korean War and 58,193 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War. In 2004, firearms were used to murder 56 people in Australia, 184 people in Canada, 73 people in England and Wales, 5 people in New Zealand, and 37 people in Sweden. In comparison, firearms were used to murder 11,344 in the United States. Sourced from http://www.bradycampaign.org/ Now my REAL question here is: How do these statistics decrease? What changes can be made to stop the gun violence? (This is not a personal attack on America, I was researching the highest number of Gun violence in the world and America was the first in the Developed Coutries. I would've asked the same question concerning whatever country was #1. (more...)

And Please tell me are these statements correct if not can you correct it for me? It is taken from Wiki. Thanks In an interview from 1976, Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin identified the Israeli emigrants as "fall-outs of weaklings" (????? ?? ?????? In an interview in 2008 Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister and former prime minister said that "Jews know that they can land on their feet in any corner of the world. The real test for us is to make Israel such an attractive place--cutting edge in science, education, culture, quality of life--that even American Jewish young people want to come here. If we cannot do this, even those who were born here will consciously decide to go to other places. This is a real problem." For many years definitive data on Israeli emigration was unavailableIn The Israeli Diaspora sociologist Stephen J. Gold maintains that calculation of Jewish emigration has been a contentious issue, explaining, "Since Zionism, the philosophy that underlies the existence of the Jewish state, calls for return home of the world's Jews, the opposite movement - Israelis leaving the Jewish state to reside elsewhere - clearly presents an ideological and demographic problem." In the past several decades, emigration (yerida) has seen a considerable increase. From 1990 to 2005, 230,000 Israelis left the country; a large proportion of these departures included people who initially immigrated to Israel and then reversed their course (48% of all post-1990 departures and even 60% of 2003 and 2004 departures were former immigrants to Israel). 8% of Jewish immigrants in the post-1990 period left Israel, while 15% of non-Jewish immigrants did. In 2005 alone, 21,500 Israelis left the country and had not yet returned at the end of 2006; among them 73% were Jews, 5% Arabs, and 22% "Others" (mostly non-Jewish immigrants from USSR). At the same time, 10,500 Israelis came back to Israel after over one year abroad; 84% were Jews, 9% Others, and 7% Arabs. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, as of 2005, 650,000 Israelis had left the country for over one year and not returned. Of them, 530,000 are still alive today. This number does not include the children born overseas. It should also be noted that Israeli law grants citizenship only to the first generation of children born to Israeli emigrants. (more...)

I worked in Canada from January 2008 to July 2008. Since I came here in US, I have zero US income. Based on the instructions and determination of my residency, I'm a resident of Canada for tax purposes because I accumulated 201 days in Canada. All of my income is 100 % from Canada and 0 US income. When filing 2008 income tax return may I claim all of my non-refundable federal tax for 2008 as long as I'm going to write a statement that I want to claim them all? How about my non-refundable federal tax from previous years may I claim them all as well. I was a college student in Canada from August 2006 to May 2008.
