Expedition Inspiration Invites Community to Paint the Town Pink for Breast Cancer Research

Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research invites the Sun Valley community to ?Paint the Town Pink? from July 23-August 4 in the name of breast cancer research.

?The eleven day effort includes five different events that we hope will appeal to a range of ages, incomes and interests,? said Expedition Inspiration Executive Director Katie Powell. ?We want this community to understand that one in eight women continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer, and there are many ways you can join Expedition Inspiration in finding breast cancer cures in our lifetime.?

Paint the Town Pink Week kicks off with the construction of the art installment ?1 in 8? designed by local artist Danica Mattias on the Sun Valley Road field. Expedition Inspiration will collect community submitted names of breast cancer survivors, those lost to the disease and other loved ones on their website to be featured on special tribute flags that will be interwoven with the installment. The tribute will remain on display until August 5.

Mattias? future mother-in-law recently went through breast cancer treatment. "When I was approached about this idea, I immediately thought about her and didn?t hesitate to get involved. My goal for this project is to spread awareness about breast cancer in a meaningful and creative way: I hope this project encourages local organizations to use art as a way of connecting with the community."

Mattias, Expedition Inspiration, and local youth volunteers will create a series of eight large-scale (4-5? diameter) woven balls. One of the eight balls will be distinct to visually represent the one in eight women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.?

Made from reed, each ball will be interwoven with the tribute flags. They will also feature glow-in-the-dark aspects and pink solar lanterns so the exhibit is visible at all hours.

To submit a name, go to www.expeditioninspiration.org/Events_Paint_the_Town_Pink.php. The submissions can be anonymous and free with an optional donation towards breast cancer research.

The week continues with a Back Alley Party at the Wicked Spud featuring Folk Band Slow Children Playing on Wednesday, July 25, at 5 p.m. Drink and raffle proceeds will go towards Expedition Inspiration?s breast cancer research efforts. Attendees can count on great outdoor deck seating, beer, wine, burgers and fish tacos.

Expedition Inspiration will team up with Ochi Gallery on Thursday, August 2, from 8-10 p.m. to host a speakeasy themed evening of over-the-top fashion performance from artist Bella Boombox and neon light installation from LA based artist Laddie John Dill. Relatives of breast cancer survivors will model, and breast cancer information will be tied into the evening in fun, unpredictable ways.

?There is so much information out there today about breast cancer, which is great, but in my experience a bit daunting,? said Ochi Gallery Director Pauli Ochi. ??I hope this event will present information in a fun and unpredictable way. ?This is a cause close to my family?s heart, so I?m so happy and honored that EI thought of partnering with us.?

The evening will also feature music, cocktails, a raffle and t-shirt sales. The event is free, with a $10 suggested donation at the door, and for those 18 and older.

?This event allows us to send a message of being aware and proud of your own body; of women?s bodies. In short, it comes down to girl power,? said Marketing and Development Director Krista Detwiler.? ?I think this is especially important for women of my generation who may not have felt the devastation of breast cancer within their peer group yet. EI is fighting to make sure they never have to feel that.?

Next up, Director Scott Farquharson will travel to Ketchum for the local premiere of his documentary ?Expedition Inspiration? at Ketchum Town Square on Friday, August 3, at 8 p.m. ?Spectators can enjoy free admission, walking the pink carpet, popcorn, drinks from The Cellar and ice cream from Leroy?s. Expedition Inspiration asks that you bring your own chair or blanket to enjoy the film.

?Our movie documents the stories of five regular people as they climb Mount Borah, the highest peak in all of Idaho,? said Film Director Scott Farquharson. ?Some Expedition Inspiration climbers go up the mountain as a way to reclaim their body from disease while others climb in memory or support of friends and family who suffered from the deadly disease. Together we find out what motivates them to undertake this grueling climb, and what keeps them going as they face their fears, work through the exhaustion, and make their way to the summit.?

Farquharson also interweaves the life story of Laura Evans, the woman who founded Expedition Inspiration. Laura founded Expedition Inspiration after her own bout with breast cancer as a way to raise funds and motivate others to find a cure more than 15 years ago.

The week wraps up with Expedition Inspiration?s main event, the Women?s Health Associates Take-A-Hike and Climb for a Cure on Saturday, August 4. The day begins at 7 a.m. for those who?d like to take on the challenge of climbing Otto?s Peak (10, 458 ft.) led by Sawtooth Mountain Guides, and at 2 p.m. at Boundary Campground for hikers.

Entrance for climbers is $250 and entrance for hikers is $25, which includes dinner and a blank tribute flag that can be filled in with a lost loved one?s name. Hikers can choose from three different trails of varying difficulty. Dinner from Calle 75 Tacos and music will follow at Boundary Campground until 6:30 p.m. along with a special surprise from Sun Valley Paragliders? Club.

Participants are encouraged to fundraise prior to the event for their chance to win prizes offered from Sun Valley Paraglider?s Club, Smith Sport Optics and special edition ?Idaho Is a State? t-shirts.

?We hope to raise $25,000 in total from our Take-A-Hike and Climb for a Cure,? said Expedition Inspiration Chair of the Board Nancy Knoble. ?We so appreciate our donors? participation and fundraising efforts.?

To register for the Take-A-Hike or Climb for a Cure, submit a name for the art installation, or for more event information, visit Expedition Inspiration?s website at www.expeditioninspiration.org. You can also follow #PaintTheTownPink and @BreastCancerEI on Twitter for fun, up-to-date information.

Expedition Inspiration seeks to find cures in our lifetime by raising funds to reach new heights in breast cancer research by bringing together leaders in the field at an annual Symposium, sponsor Young Investigator Award grants, encourage challenging physical activities and increase breast cancer awareness.

Japan in military pact with S Korea

'; } else { bannerHTML = '' + bannerIMG + ''; } var oDiv = document.getElementById("lcBannerDiv"); oDiv.innerHTML = bannerHTML; }

WORLD NEWS

Japan has signed its first military pact with South Korea since the Second World War

Japan and South Korea have agreed to share intelligence in their first joint military pact since the Second World War.

Japan's cabinet approved the pact on Friday. It will allow sharing intelligence in such areas as missile defence, North Korea's nuclear weapons programme and other regional security matters.

It has already been approved by South Korea and is to be signed in Tokyo later in the day.

The pact reflects mutual concerns that more co-operation is needed to enhance security readiness, and is seen as a breakthrough in ties between the two neighbours.

Japan ruled Korea as a colony for several decades until the end of the Second World War in 1945, and Seoul has often been wary of Japan's post-war military development.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) ? Cheering crowds welcomed Aung San Suu Kyi home Saturday from her triumphant tour of Europe, where she won enthusiastic support for her role in Myanmar's democratic transition and was celebrated like a head of state.

Thousands of jubilant supporters packed into Yangon's airport and lined the roads outside waving opposition party flags and holding banners, including one that said: "We are proud of you Mother Suu!"

Others were clearly impressed by the honorary doctorate degree she was awarded at Oxford University, shouting: "Long Live Dr. Aung San Suu Kyi!"

The 67-year-old opposition leader smiled and waved as supporters lavished her with floral bouquets and she was escorted into a waiting car, which inched through the crowd on the way to her lakeside villa.

During her two-week trip, Suu Kyi met with political leaders in Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, Britain and France.

Supporters said they closely followed Suu Kyi's trip online or in the country's private media, which splashed pictures of Suu Kyi from every stop of the tour across front pages.

"Her Europe trip made this country proud," said 45-year-old supporter Soe Aung, who waited hours for a chance to see her at the airport. "Now, people on the other side of the world know Myanmar."

The trip's highlights included Suu Kyi's long-awaited acceptance speech for the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, which she won while under house arrest in Myanmar. The former military regime kept Suu Kyi under house arrest for 15 of 23 years. She was freed in 2010 after the military ceded power to a nominally civilian government.

In Britain, she spoke before a joint session of Parliament, an honor usually reserved for heads of state. Her speech made her the only woman other than Queen Elizabeth II to address the British Parliament.

Throughout her tour, Suu Kyi called on Western countries to help Myanmar build its nascent democracy. She reiterated calls for "cautious optimism" in reforms under way and called for "democracy-friendly, human-rights-friendly investments" so incoming foreign investment helps the impoverished country rather than the wealthy few.

Suu Kyi's trip did not receive any coverage by Myanmar's state-run media, nor has the government of President Thein Sein commented on it. The massive attention Suu Kyi received during a recent trip to Thailand reportedly irked Thein Sein.

Touchdown! Chinese Space Capsule With 3 Astronauts Returns to Earth

Three Chinese astronauts returned to Earth Thursday (June 28) after 13 days in space on a historic mission that made their country only the third nation ever to successfully dock a manned spacecraft to another in orbit.

China's Shenzhou 9 space capsule landed at about10 p.m. EDT?(10 a.m. Friday, June 29 Beijing time) in Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China. To prepare for their journey home, the space crew ? which included China's first female astronaut Liu Yang ? separated the Shenzhou 9 capsule its target, the Tiangong 1 prototype space module, on Wednesday (June 27).

Their landing was broadcast live on China's state-run CCTV television network, showing the capsule streaking through the atmosphere like a meteor, deploying its main parachute, then making the final landing and rolling over on its side in a rough touchdown.

"We fulfilled the first manned manual docking," mission commander Jing Haipeng told CCTV reporters after exiting the Shenzhou 9 capsule. His comments in Chinese were translated into English by CCTV. "For the country and people all across the country, thank you for your concerns." ?[Photos of China's Shenzhou 9 Mission]

Jing and crewmates Liu Yang and Liu Wang appeared to be in good health after their space mission. The trio wore broad smiles and waved to cameras after leaving their spacecraft, but did sit in reclined chairs to help ease their adaptation back to Earth's gravity after nearly two weeks in weightlessness.

Shortly after the landing, China's Premier Wen Jiabao proclaimed the Shenzhou 9 mission a complete success.

"This manned docking mission of Tiangong 1 and Shenzhou 9 marks a large milestone, a major breakthrough for China to master the space docking technology," Wen said while reading a statement. "And also, it marks a decisive step forward on China's second step on its space strategy."

China's big space leap

China's Shenzhou 9 mission, which included successful displays of manual and automatic dockings, represented an important leap forward for China's space program. In addition to being China's longest space mission to date, it also tested technology vital for the country's goal of building space station in orbit by the year 2020.

"Chinese astronauts have their own home in space now," Jing told China's President Hu Jintao on Tuesday (June 26) during a special call according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. "We are proud of our country!" ?

And while the orbital linkups are important technological achievements for China, the mission also carried a wider social impact because it included the country's first female astronaut: the 33-year-old Liu Yang.

"It was like a home in Tiangong, and I feel very happy and proud of my country," Liu Yang told reporters after landing.

Jing, the commander, is China's first veteran astronaut to fly in space twice. The third crewmember, Liu Wang, served as the Shenzhou 9 docking pilot.

"It feels really good to feel the ground and to be back home," Liu Wang said.

The?Shenzhou 9 mission launched into orbit on June 16 and performed China's first manned space rendezvous, after the spacecraft robotically docked to Tiangong 1 on June 18. Several days later, on June 24, the astronauts backed away from the orbiting module and parked their Shenzhou 9 spacecraft once more, demonstrating manual control over the procedure as well.

"This work was done by all space pioneers and staff and we'll remember you. It will be written in history," Wen said.

China's space station goal

The successful linkups made China only the third country, after the United States and Russia, to accomplish manned dockings in orbit.

The Shenzhou 9 mission, as well as experiments performed aboard?Tiangong 1?throughout the flight, tested technologies that will help China fulfill its goal of building a 60-ton space station in orbit by 2020. [How China's Space Station Will Work (Infographic)]

"The data will help us improve technologies for astronauts' future, long-term stays in a space station," said Chen Shanguang, chief commander of the mission's astronaut system,?according to Xinhua.

China is not a member nation of the $100 billion International Space Station in low-Earth orbit, a roughly 430-ton orbiting outpost that is jointly operated by more than a dozen countries.

But Chinese officials have outlined an ambitious space program for the nation, which includes collecting samples from the moon and robotically returning them to Earth before landing astronauts on the lunar surface.

The Shenzhou 9 mission is China's fourth manned spaceflight. Previous expeditions were launched in 2003, 2005 and 2008.

The Tiangong 1 test module was launched into orbit in September 2011. In November, a robotic spacecraft, called Shenzhou 8, completed the country's first unmanned space docking. According to Chinese officials, Tiangong 1 has performed well, and could play host to another crew in the near future.

"Based on current conditions, the service of Tiangong 1 can be extended," said He Yu, chief commander of the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, reported Xinhua. "It has consumed less than one-fourth of its fuel and no back-up systems have been used."

Depending on its condition, the module could remain in orbit as China continues its space station construction efforts.

"If Tiangong 1 was in perfect shape, it could work side by side with Tiangong 2, which will be launched in the future," He said.

10 Green and Eco-Friendly Tips For Web Design and Online ...

Since the trends involving pretty much everything in our lives are moving towards being environmentally friendly and conserving our natural resources, I wondered if we could apply some of these green lessons to web design. Ask any project manager and they?ll tell you any web design, programming or application development project has a finite amount of resources behind it (unless, of course, you have an infinite amount of funds $). So I thought I could extend some green ideas towards either saving those resources, or at the least, using them more wisely.

Use Less Fossil Fuel: This is a simple one for any developer involved with your project. Work virtually from home more often and spend less gas.

Use Less Paper: Who even needs a printer anymore? I don?t even have one on my desk.

Hire Local Resources Only: Here?s a no-brainer for anyone who?s tried it before ? don?t use offshore outsourcing! I can?t tell you how many clients come ask me to fix their development project after they?ve spent thousands on some developer in India or China. By using programmers and developers who work locally, you don?t have to worry about language problems or redundant development cycles. Let?s face it ? there simply is no pride in ownership from application code coming out of these emerging economies. It?s bad, it?s buggy, and it just doesn?t work. Local developers are here to stand behind their code, so you benefit by getting a product which both they and you can be proud of and promote. Using local resources also stimulates your own local economy, which of course represents the very same people to which you are trying to sell or market your business!

Sustainable Resources: In terms of green construction, this usually means implementing a renewable energy source such as solar power to sustain your energy. By why not develop websites which can also self-sustain? By using a Content Management System, or CMS, there is no need to continually hire coders or developers to maintain and sustain your website. A CMS will allow you to update your own website content any time you want, on your own schedule.

Recycle: Unless you hire a developer who started working yesterday, every programmer has an arsenal of code which he or she re-uses. Any good ASP.NET or PHP programmer already has a good library of applications which they?ve worked on in the past. Ask your web developer for a discount on a recycled application; if they?re already programmed it before, there?s a very good chance they will extend a discount for re-using a pre-built application which simply has to be customized for your use.

Lifecycle Planning: If you build a green home, you have to make sure it?s not going to fall apart and contaminate the environment in 10 years, so you plan for the inevitable deconstruction of your home. Why not also build the marketing strategy of your website behind a long term goal? Many customers get together a few bucks $, hire a web designer, and put out a website. And then that?s it. There?s no promotion behind it, no SEO, no marketing. So they just sit and wait and inside of two years they have this horribly outdated and obsolete website which no one visits. By working with a web design and marketing team which know how to plan the lifecycle of your efforts, you can extend the life and productivity of your marketing plan ? even the eventual deconstruction of it (i.e., re-design).

Innovation in Design: When building green, the LEED system applies points for innovative design. Why shouldn?t you expect the same from your website designer? So many cheap and offshore web developers today simply rip off a template-based design or just change the colors and re-use old websites to sell clients what they call a ?new? web design. This is one case where recycling is not desirable ? you should always demand a new, original and unique web design, especially if you are paying for a custom web design. Web developers should constantly be striving to innovate design for greater usability and effectiveness; you don?t want someone else?s stale old design.

Incentives: Building developers designing eco-friendly construction now receive up to a 20% bonus for achieving a certification level higher than that required. Why not extend the same incentive to your web design or marketing team? Merit-based pay has an awesome power to motivate. Offer your SEO professional a certain bonus rate if they meet and exceed your expectations. Offer your web marketer an incentive bonus if your site meets and exceeds x amount of $ in sales. By making an incentive partner out of your developer you foster and build a profitable relationship for both of you.

Positive Economic Impact: There are two ways to measure economic impact; direct and indirect. Obviously, whatever it is you are marketing on the internet, you want it to have a positive direct economic impact on you own wallet. Don?t budget $10,000 for a new massive web application to sell $100 sneakers, and then forget to budget for promotion and marketing. In the downstream, this is going to have a negative impact on your sales since you didn?t plan for the eventual marketing expense. And what about indirect impact? Techniques such as linkbaiting and viral marketing can yield amazing rewards, even though they employ indirect marketing techniques.

Social Impact: In green terms, this equates to culture and quality of life; contributing to a positive quality of life for current and future generations. But in the end, isn?t this exactly what you want your web presence to achieve? You want to make an economic AND a social impact. One of the best ways to drive traffic and sales to your website is to offer something of value to your public, preferably free. By improving their lives in some way, you generate a social buzz, and people begin talking about your service and emailing your URL to others. You don?t have to think about social impact just in terms of MySpace and Facebook; a good marketing team can assist you in dreaming up bigger and even better ways to impact online social networking to promote your business.

Just in case you?re wondering where I got these green building guidelines from, they came from either the Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers or The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.

Liquid Vitamins compared to Digestive Acids

One explanation reason why females refuse to acknowledge the most important good aspects of liquid vitamins is normally mainly because of the specific supposed destruction caused by digestive acids of your vitamin or mineral which in turn it does not identify as component of the specific approach of digestion. An opposite is certainly, in actual fact correct. Our digestive method actually prefers or is actually ready to better absorb liquid vitamins and then minerals as opposed to these designed in pill or capsule sort.

A vitamin pills or tablet needs to be digested totally in advance of it could gain a new human appearance. It should be broken down into absorbable nutrients or purely approximately thirty p.c of it to become absorbed by just the human human body. Liquid vitamins even so will offer you a far better and then simpler system just for the digestive strategy. For the reason that it does absolutely not count in almost any manner on mechanical digestion, some sort of believed 90% of it can possibly be absorbed instantly by simply all the physical body.

It is crucial to keep in mind which experts claim digestion does not predominantly operate to damage nutritional vitamins and thus minerals on the other hand instead to rework them into substances it could possibly make use of to enhance all the standard structure of the specific overall body.

Liquid Vitamins: Poisonous or Not really?

One major problems posed is normally the sum of colloidal minerals located in liquid nutritional vitamins. Are generally some people hazardous or not really?

In truth of the matter, even crops then fruits contain a trace of these minerals in them. Apples, intended for instance, consist of 3-5 mg of aluminum as it?s pills of the most considerable things which often can sometimes be observed in the area of the Earth. But do you hear any individual telling yourself that apples are harmful to your new wellbeing? On the contrary, the things that we are generally far more probably to hear is considered to be which in turn a powerful apple daily maintains a new health care provider absent.

And then it have to be that includes liquid nutritional vitamins as let me tell you. That contains a slight amount of colloidal mineral does not imply it?s depressing available for our health at once. Colloidal minerals, are usually before all else, normally developing features and then may easily not consequently be averted.

You Own a Choice

At a new conclusion of the day, in spite of this, it is even now up to buyers regardless of whether or not an individual desire to get vitamin nutritional supplements in liquid or good sort. What exactly actually issues is those things a person desire and which may in the long run show results much better intended for you.

How Much Will Salary Impact Your Auto Car Insurance? - Illinois ...

by Illinois State Insurance ? June 27th, 2012

There are a number of factors that car insurance companies take into account when ending on a premium for consumers.? Everything from age to occupation and location to education are considered.? But what about income?? Is this something that can be looked at by companies to determine a final auto car insurance quote?

By law this is information that cannot be requested by insurers.? But a report by the Consumer Federation of America reveals auto insurance companies are doing otherwise.? The report actually accuses companies of penalizing low-income drivers when they truly have no right to be doing so.

The report doesn?t stop there.? It goes on to show that insurers are using several other facets like ZIP code and education as proxies for income in order to charge poor drivers far more than they ever should be.

As expected, this was not taken well by those in the insurance industry.? Some say people need to be more mindful and take the time to shop around in order to find an appropriate auto car insurance bid.? This may be true, but it certainly doesn?t discount the fact that there are insurance companies doing what is ultimately unlawful.

There is much truth to be had behind the fact that all insurance companies set their own rates and decide how much each factor will raise the risk of a claim being filed.? This is why it is of utmost importance that residents and drivers do shop around.

However, all insurers by law must apply whatever rating formula they have to every driver equally within that state.? This ensures everyone is created equally no matter how much they money they earn.? If there is going to be a stricter penalty for those with multiple speeding tickets within the last year, then that must be applied to everyone in all ZIP codes throughout the state.

So how are auto car insurance companies getting away with it?? The report shows they do so by charging more for rating factors and coverage that will be shared by low-income drivers.? It went on to find that some insurers charged more for bare-minimum policies compared to those with more coverage.

Sadly, there are going to be those companies that get away with scamming people.? As a citizen, resident and everyday driver, this report should tell you one thing.? Shopping around and getting as many quotes as possible from auto car insurance companies is an absolute must.? You can never be too sure.? By calling around and getting multiple quotes, you have a better chance of finding the right fit for your situation.

Let's Dialogue on MWN with Respect, an ... - Morocco World News

By Yasmina Mrabet

Morocco World News

Washington D.C, June 28, 2012

The importance of the notion of respect in dialogue cannot be overstated. It is not only an intrinsic Moroccan value, but it is also what is called a basic human need in the fields of psychology and conflict resolution. Basic human needs can be tangible, like food and shelter, or they can be intangible, like respect and recognition.

Moroccan culture places a particularly high emphasis on respect?respect for parents, respect for those older than us who may have knowledge that we do not, respect for peers, and respect for the experiences of others. One common tradition in Morocco is to kiss our parents hands on both sides, to show respect. In the past, we were expected to do so even with aunts and uncles.

In creating a platform for dialogue, Morocco World News embodies the Moroccan value and notion of respect, and invites its readers to do the same?by respecting diverse views on difficult issues, and by working with us to foster inclusion and a sense of community.

We call Morocco World News a platform for dialogue, because it allows for a multitude of viewpoints and voices to be heard on a wide array of issues, some of which are complex and contentious. We allow and encourage writers to reinforce points made in articles that they agree with, and to respond, with respect, to articles that they disagree with. We encourage debate on ideas and opinions, and in the spirit of positive dialogue, we strongly discourage personal attacks on individuals who have taken their time to write and share their opinions with a public audience. We ask our community to adhere to a code of respect?to adhere to a value that we hold so dear in Moroccan culture.

As a Moroccan living abroad, I have found that our greatest strength is in the way we encourage and support one another. We have received encouragement and support both from our Moroccan readers, and from other readers around the world. Here are just a few of the hundreds of messages we have received:

?MWN?s appearance in Morocco has added a new impetus to the journalistic scene, especially for English speaking audience. It helps many voices to be heard; it brings together divergent opinions and gives way to lot of young talents to be discovered. Moreover, many issues, considered to be taboo, have been brought to the front and widely discussed. It also managed in a brief period of time to gather a huge number of English readers and to be one of Morocco?s widely read websites.? -Jawad Maniani, Rabat, Morocco

?I?ve been a reader of MWN for about a year. I?ve found it to be a refreshing view of the news absent of the bias and polarization of many ?mainstream? media outlets. I have also found that MWN sheds light on issues that most ?western? outlets don?t or won?t cover and get other perspectives without the confrontational undertones. Although MWN is experiencing some growing pains I plan to stick by MWN and its reporting.? ?-Steve Wilson, California, USA

?Morocco World News plays an important role for the 4.5 million Moroccans living outside the country by bringing them the home news in English. Through its daily updates, it makes them aware of the news that matter to them and push them to be involved in the political process of their country. Morocco World News is wise to tap into the Moroccan community around the world, because it is a political and economic force with experience and resources, whose influence can bring real change and hope to Morocco.?- Ed Talby, Nevada, USA

Morocco World News takes this opportunity to thank you, our readers, contributors, and community for supporting our growth by being a part of it, and for having patience as our small staff works with great energy and tenacity. MWN now has over 12,500 ?likes? on Facebook, and we are more proud than ever to know that we are helping to meet the needs of the Moroccan community, by bringing attention both to taboo issues that are underreported, as well as to the successes and contributions of Moroccans around the world.

Our virtual doors opened just over one year ago, and we re-extend our invitation to you, into a space where you can engage with one another, while adhering to the value of respect, which every human being deserves, and which is so important in Moroccan tradition. We strongly believe that respectful dialogue is the only way we can move forward in educating one another and taking collective action to address and meet the challenges and opportunities we are facing at home and abroad.

Morocco World News is here out of great love for our country, Morocco, and out of great respect for the diverse views of our community both in Morocco and around the world. We look forward to continuing to serve as a platform for your voices to be heard, and for your ideas to be acknowledged and debated, with respect, by each other and our global community.

LONDON (AP) ? Doubts over the ability of European leaders to cobble together measures to deal with the debt crisis kept markets on edge Thursday.

Stocks fell and the euro edged lower as expectations for the European Union summit that starts later in Brussels diminished in the wake of comments from German Chancellor Angela Merkel that jointly-issued eurobonds would not resolve Europe's debt crisis on their own.

Many in the markets as well as a number of Europe's leaders, including those from France, Italy and Spain, think eurobonds are a key ingredient in the resolution of the crisis as they would help lower indebted countries' borrowing costs.

But Merkel is reluctant to expose Germany to new potential costs and is concerned that such bonds would ease the pressure on countries like Greece and Spain to reform their economies.

"In the past, there's been a lot of optimism leading into these summits, sending stocks and other risky assets higher," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari. "With so much experience now of these summits producing nothing, a wait and see approach is now being taken. "

In Europe, Germany's DAX was 1.6 percent lower at 6,127 while the CAC-40 in France fell 1.1 percent to 3,029. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was 0.9 percent lower at 5,472.

Much of the FTSE's fall was due to the performance of its banks, notably Barclays PLC, which dropped around 5 percent a day after it was slapped with fines totaling $453 million for the manipulation of key interest rates.

Wall Street was also poised to open lower, with both Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures down 0.7 percent.

The euro was also being dogged by lack of optimism over the summit and was trading 0.4 percent lower at $1.2430.

Figures showing that German unemployment fell only modestly to 6.6 percent in June ? a month that usually sees big demand for seasonal jobs ? added to the prevailing sense of unease.

Earlier, a few Asian markets posted gains as they tracked gains in the previous session in Europe and the U.S. following positive housing and manufacturing reports out of the U.S. on Wednesday.

Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.7 percent to 8,874.11. South Korea's Kospi rose marginally to 1,819.18 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng gave up earlier gains to fall 0.8 percent to 19,025.27.

Mainland Chinese shares lost ground, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 1 percent to 2,195.84, the lowest closing in almost five months. The Shenzhen Composite Index lost 1 percent to 909.28.
