(Haaretz+) Israeli security forces,settlers clash after state moves to demolish West Bank outpost -Settlers accuse police of using brute force in clearing of 'Hasruga' outpost near Yitzhar; Haredi IDF soldier defects over demolition; Likud minister: Barak has lost his senses. (Haaretz+ andYnet) Beginning to move the houses of the Givat Ulpana outpost- The agreement with the 30 settler families was that they would evacuate voluntarily in exchange for the transfer of their homes to a new location inside Beit El settlement and off privately owned Palestinian land and the building of another 300 housing units. [The article in the pro-Netanyahu paper did not mention the high cost to taxpayers.
In return for demonstrating "strong, visible and accountable leadership", city councils can obtain more economic power.Liverpool was the first authority to agree a "city deal" and the mayoral job is a direct consequence. The ruling Labour group on Liverpool council were originally sceptical about having a directly-elected mayor. But the city deal is worth ￡130m to the city and, when ministers made it clear that the best way for Liverpool to meet the "strong, visible and accountable leadership" test would be to have a directly elected mayor, Joe Anderson, the council leader, agreed to cut a deal. Some people in the city thought that there should be a referendum. But, under the Local Government Act, councils can go to a directly-elected mayor system without a referendum provided there's a two-thirds majority vote in council.
?To be sure,there will still be quibbles. ?First,there may be people with information that I couldn't find pointing to companies being healthier,www.ytcgzx.net (http://www.ytcgzx.net/),or less healthy,than I've ranked them. ?And second,company status may change: Tesla is predicting that it will soon turn a profit,but it's still ranked a 3,because its audited public financials show it making a loss. ?On the other hand,Brightsource is reportedly scrambling for cash,and I rated them a four,because they seem to be fairly stable. ?At any rate,here are the results: Of the actual risky VC-style companies,about 20% are either in bankruptcy,or look very likely to be there soon--15% if you adjust for the fact that Abound and Fisker didn't managed to tap their whole credit line before the government shut them down.
Some are small grassroots efforts,such as Hand in Hand,a chain of four Arab-Israeli schools that teach both Arabic and Hebrew."This is a bilingual school,but Arabic and Hebrew are not just languages,they are nationalities,religions," says school Principal Hassan Agbaria. "Both narratives exist here in the school,and we try to show that they can live together each beside the other,and everyone can choose their identity."On a grander scale,there is the Breaking the Impasse Initiative,an organization of 300 Israeli and Palestinian business leaders advocating for a two-state solution. With support from the? World Economic Forum,and tacit nods of approval from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,the Initiative is busy proposing ways to stimulate the Palestinian economy and integrate Israeli and Palestinian industries.
"And with that,The Daily Beast's time in the daylong media blitz for the Huntsman-Manchin show was up. A reporter from the conservative National Review was up next."National Review!" said Huntsman,jumping up again from his chair. "It was my bible growing up."French Right Mounts Spirited Protests Against Gay-Marriage Bill Hundreds of thousands of conservative French protesters took to the streets in Paris to shout down France's gay-marriage bill. But Socialist President Fran?ois Hollande's majority says the government won't back down. Now what? People take part in a protest organized by French far-right party Front National party against same-sex marriage in Paris,Jan. 13,2013.

? Cameron has said that the government is still committed to abolishing the 50p top rate of tax, despite a report suggesting that it raised significant extra funds in its first year. According to the Daily Telegraph, the report HM Revenue and Customs report into the 50p rate will show that it has generated a "surge" in revenues totalling hundreds of millions of pounds. But Number 10 said the Treasury has not yet received a report from HMRC about how much the tax has raised this year. (See 9.44am and 12.01pm.)? Kelvin MacKenzie, the former Sun editor, has told the Leveson inquiry that the paper is "less bullish" than it was when he was in charge. There more details on our Leveson live blog.
In the Osirak attack,Israel’s airforce loaded 14 fighters to the brim with extra fuel to avoid having to refuel in the air; they avoided the worst of Iraq air defenses due in part,apparently,to negligence on the part of the Iraqis. In both cases,ytcgzx.net (http://www.ytcgzx.net/),the air defenses Israel faced were relatively unsophisticated. Iran’s nuclear facilities are dispersed around the country,many hundreds of miles away from friendly bases or sea lanes from which jets could take off. Unless an attack is to be a suicide mission,planes—especially those taking off from Israel—must be able to refuel aerially during and after the mission,and that requires a squadron of tankers and support for them. Why would a smart and reputable writer report that decision-makers were giving serious consideration to an operational plan that in the past they have asserted would not work? A responsibly executed attack takes time.
S. Meanwhile,Tehran's fractious internal politics are more treacherous than ever. This is an election year in Iran,too,and the widening divide between President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could affect the regime's judgments,or misjudgments,about how far the Islamic Republic can push its confrontation with the West.In A Peace to End All Peace,the classic account of the way Europe carved up the Middle East in the early 20th century,historian David Fromkin wrote that "the characteristic feature of the region's politics" is that "there is no sense of legitimacy—no agreement on rules of the game—and no belief universally shared in the region that,ytcgzx (http://www.ytcgzx.net/),within whatever boundaries,the entities that call themselves countries or the men who claim to be rulers are entitled to recognition as such.
