|The Medics!
Brisbane based four-piece, The Medics are undoubtedly in the midst of the biggest month of their career. Just last week they began winning rave reviews for their debut album, Foundations, after it secured itself the highly coveted placement of JJJ's feature album. With their debut set for release on Friday we were lucky enough to have a virtual chat with The Medics' lead vocalist and guitarist, Kahl Wallace about the debut LP, their incredible music videos, Splendour In The Grass and more.
Q. Foundations, the debut LP from The Medics is out May 18. How would you sum up what the album offers to a listener unfamiliar with The Medics?
Kahl: It's an emotional record, a lot of light, shade and deep heartfelt moments. Epic at times, textured guitars and drum driven tracks. We tend to wear our hearts on our sleeves when we write lyrics, we try to give the listener a message to think about.
Q. Many years have gone into getting to the point you are now, on the verge of releasing your debut. You've packed up your lives and moved from Cairns to Brisbane, released EP's, toured and more. What have been your favourite moments since starting the band?
Kahl: Being on the road are always fun times, getting our music heard, playing live shows. We played a show in the back of a pub in Townsville, Charles was still seventeen and we were all eighteen. We were just about to start our show when we were told Charles had to get out because he was underage. So we plugged a few leads together and he played the entire show outside the venue while the rest of us played inside.
Q. Your promotional videos for 'Beggars' and 'Griffin' feature some fantastic cinematography. How involved are you in the creative process for your clips and how important do you think music videos are today? What are some of your favourite music videos?
Kahl: We are always involved with the creative process. It's something we are passionate about, it's as important as writing music for the band. A lot of videos today have lost meaning and true quality. We always try to have a story or visual impact with our videos. Something that can take the song to a whole new level. Some of my favourites are...
Coloured Stone - Black Boy
Jonsi - Go Do
At The Drive In - OneArmed Scissor
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Q. Congratulations on securing a spot at this year's Splendour In The Grass! You're not strangers to festivals, with well received performances at Groovin' The Moo and Big Day Out, but what are you going to bring to the Splendour set to make the best impression.
Kahl: We haven't really thought about it yet, I guess the main thing is to play the best we can. Just enjoy ourselves and have fun. We love playing live, I can't wait!
Q. What does the rest of 2012 look like for The Medics and are you setting your sites on any international markets?
Kahl: We're just going with the flow, playing a few national shows to support the album later this year. Just staying grounded, anything is possible at this stage.
Q. Who has shaped your views on music the most and who would you name your biggest musical influences?
Artists such as Bunna Lawrie, Bob Dylan, Daniel Johnston, Jonsi Birgisson, Jimi Hendrix, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Cedric Bixler Zavala have really influenced me over the years.
Q. Five years from now, where do you want to be? Are you pursuing any interests outside of music?
I don't think I ever could do anything outside of music. I just got a little job writing music for a small play at QPAC. It's a children's play about the life of Oodgeroo Noonuccal, a well known indigenous poet. I would love to get into more of the kind of work in the future.
A massive thank you to Kahl for taking the time to have a chat with us. You can pre-order Foundations right now over on iTunes. If you heard it on JJJ you already know that it's one of hell of a debut and a sign that Australian rock has a very bright future ahead. Hankering for a physical copy of the CD and you're close enough to Brisbane next Tuesday night? Black Bear Lodge is hosting the official album launch with a live performance from The Medics. Included in the ticket price is a signed copy of the album! Head on over to OzTix and be a part of the fun!

President Obama reiterated his proposals for cuts in business and individual taxes and called on Republicans and Democrats to work together after the elections.
In his weekly address on Saturday, Obama talked about the tax cut proposals he introduced last month. "We ought to provide continued tax relief for middle class families who have borne the brunt of the recession," he said. "We ought to allow businesses to defer taxes on the equipment they buy next year. And we ought to make the research and experimentation tax credit bigger and permanent — to spur innovation and foster new products and technologies."
Obama has been promoting his proposal in recent days for allowing businesses to write off 100 percent of their purchases of equipment through the end of next year. He also proposed last month to expand the research credit to support about $100 billion over the next 10 years in business research and development.
Obama looked ahead to the midterm elections on Tuesday, and said the two parties need to work together on such proposals, no matter what the election results. "Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, we need to come together to help put people who are still looking for jobs back to work," he said. "And there are some practical steps we can take right away to promote growth and encourage businesses to hire and expand. These are steps we all should be able to agree on — not Democratic or Republican ideas, but proposals that have traditionally been supported by both parties."
He also took a shot at Republican congressional leaders, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, whom he accused of making statements that indicated gridlock in Washington after the election.
"That's why I found the recent comments by the top two Republican in Congress so troubling," he said. "The Republican leader of the House actually said that 'this is not the time for compromise.' And the Republican leader of the Senate said his main goal after this election is simply to win the next one. I know that we're in the final days of a campaign. So it's not surprising that we're seeing this heated rhetoric. That's politics. But when the ballots are cast and the voting is done, we need to put this kind of partisanship aside — win, lose, or draw."

For one of my work friends I made a trio of felted crocheted bowls. Of course, I forgot to take a picture of them so you'll just have to use your imagination. They were an off white color and the bowls nested inside one another. I loved them so much, Iv'e decided that I will eventually make a trio for myself. For another work friend I made a candle cozy to fit a 3-wick candle from Bath & Body Works. I used Lion Brand's Cotton-Ease in white. The bottom base of the cozy was crocheted. The cables were knit separately from the base and then sewn together.
I'm always nervous about anything I make without using a pattern but I think this turned out well. I showed my mother the cozy right after I finished it and she immediately asked "Is that gonna get set on fire?" Ugh! Way to make me paranoid. Here is your candle and cozy and a possible fire hazard? I thought about it for awhile and came to the conclusion that it's safe. It's well below the rim of the candle and if they use cotton for pot holders than it should be safe for a candle. Either way, I gave my friend a warning with the gift.
Next up, I knit some beautiful (if I do say so myself) Christmas balls. I was going to use a pattern but it called for fingering weight and all I had was worsted, so I cut down the pattern and designed my own color work graphs. I took inspiration from the awesome book Knit Nordic by Eline Oftedal. It's a great book that uses 4 traditional Norwegian sweater patterns to make 20 different accessories. There is a great pattern for Christmas stockings that made it on my list of things to knit.
These 4 beauties went to my mother-in-law. I honestly was very tempted to keep them for myself so I decided that I will start making my own starting now so I can have them on my tree for the next Christmas. Iv'e learned a little lesson in knitting these: you really have to stuff them until they are about to burst. I've seen some people use styrofoam balls inside but I prefer the stuffing. What ever floats your boat. Maybe I'll write up a few free patterns of my original designs and share them throughout the year.
I finished my little niece's chevron blanket just in time for Christmas. It really is a beautiful blanket and it knit up easily. I would definitely consider making one again. With the cold weather finally making an appearance in New York, it will be put to good use. (I hope!)
Last but not least, my nephew requested a blue hat for Christmas. Of course I couldn't say no. I couldn't decide to make it dark blue or light blue so I decided both. The hat is double knit so it's reversible and extra warm. This was the first time I've ever done double knitting. It really was quite easy. It just goes to show you shouldn't be scared to try new techniques!
I did make one more thing for Christmas but I never took a photo of it completed. My husband has been begging me to make him another hat for awhile. I finally went through my stash and picked out a squishy brown ball of yarn and knit away. The first attempt was a fail. It looked like a giant cupcake. The second try was perfection! I would tell you more but I intend to take some photos of said hat. I liked it so much I made myself a matching one!
Next Christmas I will try to be more organized and start my gift projects in September! It's such a relief to be done with it though. Now it's time for selfish knitting. No deadlines, no worry. Just a cup of coffee or tea and some knitting needles and yarn. Pure heaven.
If you're curious about my latest projects, check out my Instagram. I've really become addicted to it and you'll probably see pics of my work before I get around to posting it here. Happy knitting!!

They also planned to go to the Empire State Building, the Moma, the Statue of Liberty and have a picnic in Central Park, but couldn't make it because they ran out of time. Anyway, you get the picture.

Tanya Horo owns one of the most angelic voices in the Sydney music scene today. Unfortunately for us, she is overseas with her band Sherlock's Daughter getting on with the show and making the bigger picture happen. The last time we saw her was in Brooklyn, New York where they played a blistering set. After their set we all said our sad goodbyes, Sherlock's Daughter were staying in New York.

The fear of attending reunions is innate in our nature. This is inevitable for people; it gives us the notion that we did not achieve enough for us to show up confidently. God forbid people judging you by the amount of success in your career path.
The whole purpose of reunions, are to reunite, to get together for a purpose; to share stories of important life events, such as getting married and starting a family. Your batch mates and professors are one of the most important people in your lives because they are one of the reasons why you still stand tall. They were the ones who helped mold you into the person you are now. They were there for you in times that you needed someone to support you in your decisions. Reunions are for treasuring moments with people who have made a big impact in your life. Remembering highlights of your time spent together.
Recollecting the times when you and your classmates were having fun in making projects, procrastinating, thesis reports, movies, business presentations and even assignments at times. Despite the difficulties still you manage to enjoy each other's company and depict a sense of togetherness and teamwork.
It is most special to pace back to those memories unforgotten, you develop a bond together "all for one, one for all". In this world we're living in, we cannot avoid being ashamed of our failures; it is simply part of human nature to be afraid of what other people might say about us. But mistakes are the reasons why we learn and why we become stronger the second time around. Reunions are events in our lives that can contribute new wisdom, because through this we take other peoples experiences from their stories and apply it in our lives. It is somehow like a seminar where you are able to acquire love, care, and respect from people. It is like stepping into a time machine and going back to your college years, yet this time around you have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Organizing these types of events is not easy, other people wouldn't even comply because of busy schedules and a general lack of time. But the smiles, the laughter's and happiness it gives people who participate, is simply priceless. After going to reunions it is also in human nature to have sudden realizations. You just paced back in life, therefore you appreciate and in some way it makes you better, and it enforces change in you. You realize that they are not ordinary people but family, people whom you can trust, people who will still clap their hands and offer you a warm embrace. After all, your peers and professors in college were in a sense your surrogate family. Time apart cannot break that.
After graduating college you all naturally go your own way and find your own calling. A person spreads their wings and finds a job to finally start a career. That's the way of life or to put it bluntly, that's how reality goes. Reunions provide people with a chance to rekindle relationships. Going to reunions might be nerve racking and angst inducing to say the least. And normally that's just the way it goes. The pressure is on. But do consider that you are not alone in feeling this way. Looking down and belittling your peers is not good for anyone's health or conscience.
Go and attend the event and socialize with the people who made a significant difference in your life. No matter where life takes us. No matter how far we have come in life, still we must consider our peers and of course our professors who helped mold us to be the person we are today. The people who made us believe in ourselves. Whether, you are an English Teacher in Korea or a wife of an Architect in Dubai. You have a piece of your batch mates in your heart, and in your character. People nowadays tend to be busy or even forget to go back to where they have started. But not with the batch that I belong to, wherever we are, whatever we achieved, we always stand ground with the values and principles instilled in us; and on our mind is our 21st Anniversary Theme "We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere." by Tim McGraw.

Thank you to our friends in Western NY for providing this testimonial
On this Memorial Day we'd like to give special recognition to one of our dear clients, Robert Morrisette, aka Bob or 'Hey Morrisette' affectionatly referred to by his wife of 68 years! We have the pleasure of seeing Bob and his wife Anna about twice a week in our office. Bob is 93 years old and his lovely wife Anna is a mere 92. While Bob is in the hyperbaric chamber for an hour I have the wonderful opportunity to hear Anna's stories about her life and her family. Anna shared these pictures with me that were taken last year in St Louis where Bob was honored by the Experimental Airplane Association for his service in WWII. Bob was a corporal in the 8th Army Air Corps in England from 1942-45 and served as an electronics technician repairing damage to radar and radios on bomber planes. Pictured here is Bob in his original uniform seated as he would have back in the day at the radio operator's station located aft of the bomb bay. The EAA brought in a B-17 bomber 'Aluminum Overcast' to the St. Louis event. Although Bob was in and out of B-17 bombers he never got a ride in one until last years event. Note the 'high tech' radio gear! I guess that makes him the forerunner IT guy. Bob's wartime job, keep the radios and other electronic equipment aboard the B-17 Flying Fortresses in good condition for their bombing raids over Nazi-held territory in Europe. "A lot of the planes that came back were pretty well shot up" Bob recalls. "There often were bullet holes all over." Needed parts also were not always available, a situation requiring some imagination. Morrisette said he once used a condom to jury-rig a repair on a faulty switch. "It worked too!" he says proudly.
At 93 Bob has survived cancer twice and moves around with only the light support of a walker. Anna and Bob's daughter Sally of St Louis found our hyperbaric business from a Google search. Sally called us and told us her Dad had early stages of dimentia and her chiropracter said that HBOT would be very beneficial for him. We are so glad they found us! Bob has been in the HBOT chamber 10 times over the several weeks.
The following is an email received from Sally.
Hi Sheri!
Thank you for the update. I had somewhat of a conversation with my father on the phone this morning – which is remarkable, considering he had stopped conversing intelligibly sometime ago. It was so nice to hear his voice again! I know the infusion of oxygen to his brain (and wherever else) is the reason he's come back to us to a degree.
I wish I could afford to buy them a unit for daily use. I know my mother could benefit greatly as well. I wish I could buy myself a chamber! I am so grateful to you for this wonderful gift, Sheri. Thank you for gently pushing me on this. The next time I'm in Rochester, I'm coming in to see you and to try the chamber. It probably won't be until September, but I will come in!
With warmest regards,
I think Bob said it best one day when leaving our office.. "I feel good, I feel damn good!". It is amazing to see Bob's increased engagement and chatter, not to mention his sense of humor! When I ask Bob how he feels, with out hesitating he says "With my hands!".
I would be remiss to not mention the beauty of his relationship with his wife Anna. Anna is sharp as a tack, still drives and organizes all of Bob's activities and appointments. I have no doubt that the love they have for each other is in large part the rocket fuel that keeps Bob going. You can often catch Bob blowing kisses to Anna through the window of the chamber when she peeks in to check on him. They joke and tease each other like that of a couple who have only just fallen in love. Bob's gaze to Anna when he first gets out of the chamber is pure love and happiness as he jokes that she hasn't left him!
God bless you Corporal Morrisette! We salute you and all those who serve to protect! Happy Memorial Day!

DuraMax™ - A Smarter Seal
DuraMax™ is a patented high performance radial seal that incorporates a unique patented bellows architecture that ensures positive contact with the sealing surface. When sealing edge wear does occur, the DuraMax™ seal can be simply adjusted, rather than replaced. This reduces maintenance costs and increases plant productivity.
Product Functionality
Paragon's radial seal design enables the seal to dynamically adjust while always maintaining positive contact with the sealing surface.
The seals incorporate a unique flexible member architecture that ensures positive contact with the sealing surface. If the sealing edge of the seal does wear, the high performance seal can be adjusted rather than replaced thus reducing maintenance costs and increasing plant productivity.
Product Design
The flexible members on the high performance DuraPlus™ and DuraMax™ radial seals are designed to maintain their full strength and integrity in excess of 5 million flex cycles for both high performance radial seals when lab tested. Paragon's radial seals are specifically engineered to disperse stresses at all flex points. Further, the design geometry of the bellows is fabricated using Paragon's patented bellows forming methods. This helps eliminate any material hardening or residual stresses that might result from the manufacturing process.
The DuraPlus™ High Performance Radial Seal is comprised of three members. The first is the Auxiliary Sealing Face member which deflects air/ ash waste particles away from the flexible member of the seal thereby reducing erosion and stress (1). Next is the Flexible Full Contact-Sealing member whose design eliminates gaps that cause air leakage (2). Last is the Isobolic Curved Support member which was designed to provide increasing isometric support for the seals flexible member (3). As the seal is deflected, the isobolic support creates a traveling pivot that effectively moves the primary flex point of the member further up towards the seals' contact tip. This produces a flexible sealing member whose spring constant increases the further it is deflected. This increase in resistance allows the flexible member to seal positively against the sector plate without undue force yet resist the much larger forces exerted on it during soot blowing and water washing operations.
Due to the unique design and architecture of the DuraPlus™ seal, it can be fabricated to address individual applications. The specific amount of positive contact desired in a given application can be incorporated into the seals design during the manufacturing process. The three members combined produce an extremely durable seal that can be customized to address a wide variety of airheater conditions. These unique features both drastically reduce installation errors and increase seal life.
DuraMax™ radial seals are designed to act like a spring that sustains an appropriate level of force to maintain a positive contact between the radial seal and the sealing surface. The spring force prevents the seal from opening due to high differential pressure across the hot and cold ends of the airheater (1). The unique geometric design of the bellows (2), coupled with the carefully engineered spring characteristics of the material give the seal the ability to "self-adjust" over time if wear occurs on the sealing edges (3). By eliminating the gaps between the seal and the sealing surface, leakage between the hot and cold sides of the airheater is drastically reduced.
The DuraMax™ seal replaces the OEM seals and attaches to each diaphragm utilizing the existing bolt hole layout in the diaphragms. The seals are installed and adjusted to maintain the appropriate force and clearance between the seal and the sealing surface. There are no airheater modifications needed to take advantage of the benefits of a DuraMax™ solution.
SoftEdge™ is a modification to the sector plate that promotes a smooth transition to and from the sealing surface. This modification reduces possible fatigue in the high performance radial seals as well as normalizes any current fluctuations in the rotor drive unit that may accompany seal/sector plate transition.

This month, the Islamic State's monthly English-language magazine, The Dabiq, quoted three so-called American "crusaders," including 2016 presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
The item, titled, "In the Words of the Enemy" also featured "Virginia state Sen. Richard Black and former CIA officer and author Gary Berntsen, who are all quoted at length in the article on their various warnings about the group's abilities to expand its caliphate."
Santorum, who's a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and the runner-up in the 2012 Republican presidential primary election, has been speaking at length in speeches and appearances about the ISIS threat and the need to "bomb ISIS back to the seventh century."
The Dabiq article quoted the 56-year-old "Catholic crusader" as asserting that strong action needs to be taken by the U.S. and its allies to eliminate the group, or else ISIS will continue to grow.
In fact, Santorum was a guest today on Breitbart News Daily, discussing the very same topic: Rick Santorum: World War III Has Started.
"We will not start World War III by taking out (Iran's) nuclear capability. We will stop WWIII. WWIII is underway in the world today. Everybody needs to understand that. WWIII has started and unless we short circuit it, it's going to explode into a real global conflict," Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum warns on Breitbart News Daily.
As pointed out by The Christian Post, Santorum's knowledge and depth of understanding of radical Sialm seems to exceed many of his contemporaries as he points out the significance of their holding land.
"This caliphate that has been established and that means they are calling people from all over the world to come and fight this battle. As long as they hold ground and continue to expand that ground, more and more will come," Santorum is quoted as saying. "The fact that we are delaying means that the caliphate continues to exist. They are not losing ground. They are not being discredited in the eyes of the Muslim world. They will get stronger."
Also, as Santorum pointed out in his Breitbart interview, not on ISIS's enemies list – Barack Obama, at least not this iteration, it seems.
The article adds that Santorum warned that ISIS is "dead serious" about its desire to expand beyond the borders of its strongholds in Iraq and Syria, which has already started to happen with the terrorist group Boko Haram in Nigeria pledging allegiance to ISIS and militant groups in Libya and Egypt doing the same.
"This is really important to understand. The reason the West had a thousand year war with Islam is that Islam was ever expanding. When Islam began to contract, it collapsed, and the caliphate was eliminated. Now they have established a caliphate. They are dead serious about expanding it," Santorum explained. "Unless we begin to take back that ground and make this caliphate just irrelevant in the eyes of the radical Muslim world, we are going to have a bigger and bigger problem."

In a child's early years their brain is making more than a million new connections every second. It's an essential time for learning. For primary teachers especially, but also fascinating for anyone with an interest in how the brain works.
This evening, 8pm GMT, Rebecca, Mark and Katie are on hand to chat about early years development. We hope to see you there.
Last week's Early Development chat featured conversations about bilingualism, students' motivations to read, reading and typing on a screen compared to paper, and the Montessori approach to teaching maths. Read the chat transcript here.
In the News:
- Ofsted's call for more teaching in reception year prompts backlash – The Guardian 16/1/18
- Proposed tests for reception children 'verging on the immoral' – The Guardian 16/1/18
In the Learning Zone:
Researcher Liz Toomarian wants to know more about where teachers get research. Please let her know how you go about learning more about learning. Or is research too inaccessible?
The most popular question this week has been about the use of mobile phones. Most research mentioned seems to indicate banning phones in schools might improve performance. Divided attention anyone? What are your views? Is banning an option?

The Mahmoud Abbas exchange, part 1: A man of peace turned autocrat
Amir Tibon is an Israeli journalist who covers Washington, D.C. for Haaretz newspaper. Prior to Haaretz, Tibon was the diplomatic correspondent for Walla News, a leading Israeli news website. His writing on Israel, the peace process and the Middle East has appeared in Foreign Affairs, Politico Magazine, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Tablet Magazine, The New Republic, The Huffington Post, The American Interest, and The Jerusalem Report.
Grant Rumley is a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, where he focuses on Palestinian politics. Rumley has published in leading media outlets, including Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy, and contributed commentary to The New York Times, Reuters, and Newsweek. Prior to joining FDD, Rumley was a visiting fellow at Mitvim, The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies. While in Jerusalem, Grant also founded and edited The Jerusalem Review of Near East Affairs. Previously, Grant served as a consultant in Washington on issues related to counter-terrorism, the Middle East, and war-gaming strategies.
The following exchange will focus on Tibon and Rumley's new book The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas (Prometheus Books, 2017).
Dear Amir and Grant,
In the first chapter of your book, you use these frustratingly sad words to describe the hero of your book, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas:
Mahmoud Abbas started his presidency as a man of peace and institutions. More than a decade into his four-year term, he will end it as just another regional autocrat…
Taken together, the arc of Mahmoud Abbas's career bends toward that of a missed opportunity. If Israeli officials were to describe their ideal negotiating partner, they would describe someone almost identical to Abbas, with his aversion to terror and stated willingness to compromise. But the tragedy of Abbas, and of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general, is in what he doesn't bring to the table. He is not a charismatic leader and thus could not convince his people to modify their version of the national narrative. Peace requires leaders who have both the courage to sign an agreement and the ability to implement it. Abbas appeared at times in his life to have the former. He was never close to having the latter.
Written "more than a decade into his four-year term," what kind of picture does your narrative paint of Abbas? Is this the tale of a well-meaning tragic hero who couldn't implement his noble vision, or of a tyrant who's hold on power has been hampering progress in the region?
Dear Shmuel,
There are two competing narratives in explaining how Mahmoud Abbas rose to power within the Palestinian national movement. One narrative is that Abbas understood better than others in the movement that almost all conflicts eventually end in negotiations, and so positioned himself as the in-house "expert on Israel" and negotiator, realizing that when the time comes, these skills will make him the best candidate to lead the movement. The other narrative is that Abbas genuinely wanted an agreement with Israel and believed that getting one was in the best interest of the Palestinian people.
Our conclusion in the book is that both are true to some extent, but the second narrative is based on stronger evidence. Abbas has advocated negotiations with Israel since the 1970s — a position he consistently held even when other members of the PLO who shared his opinions, like Issam Sartawi, were being assassinated by rivals for seeking compromise. The Palestinians are in the Oslo process largely because of Abbas' advocacy, and he consistently stuck to non-violence in the roughest periods of the conflict, such as the Second Intifada, when he chastised the terror elements of his own party for their brutality. As president, he has upheld security coordination with Israel through three wars in Gaza and countless clashes in the West Bank.
The tragic aspect of his story is that despite – or maybe even because of – his consistent support for negotiations, his political standing was never large enough to implement a deal. In 1995, after an agreement that Abbas and Yossi Beilin had negotiated behind the scenes for two years was leaked to the press, Abbas was slammed at home for conceding on core issues. The pressure deeply affected him, and he reneged on his own agreement and denied involvement.
Once he became president, this pressure only increased. In 2008, Abbas was presented a far-reaching offer by Ehud Olmert after more than 30 meetings between the two leaders, yet he left it on the table without issuing a response. To his defense, it should be noted that Olmert's offer came when his own political standing in Israel was in shambles, and senior officials both in the US and in Israel advised Abbas to ignore it and wait for the next Israeli Prime Minister. But by not responding to Olmert, Abbas made it much easier for Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been ruling Israel since 2009, to reject any continuity with regards to Olmert's offer, and thus to force Abbas to re-negotiate any future deal "from scratch."
Abbas has little trust in Netanyahu, but in March 2014 he missed a rare opportunity to put pressure on his Israeli counterpart. It was then that Barack Obama presented Abbas with a new peace proposal, one that included the partition of Jerusalem and the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. Had Abbas accepted that plan, even with reservations, Netanyahu would have been put in a tough spot, having to choose between saying no to a peace offer from a sitting American president with two and a half more years in office, or going along with a plan that would have likely forced him to change his coalition, and perhaps even leave his own party.
Instead of accepting the offer, however, Abbas walked away from it without an answer. Martin Indyk, who was in charge of the American negotiations team, explained in a recent interview that "while we made a massive effort to meet the basic needs of both sides in formulas that the two sides could accept, the bottom line was when we put them to Abbas, he was not prepared to accept them. He was not prepared to answer."
What explains this behavior? Put simply, Abbas is currently too vulnerable at home to make the type of broad concessions a final-status agreement would require. He has no democratic mandate — he's in the 13th year of a 4-year presidential term and he lost his parliamentary majority in 2006 to Hamas — and he doesn't even control the proto-state he claims in negotiations. Losing Gaza in 2007 to Hamas in a civil war was the death knell of the modern peace process: Abbas can't sign an agreement because he can't implement one, and any gap between signing a hypothetical agreement and its implementation only leaves Abbas exposed to his rivals' criticisms, and potentially worse.
This weakness, coupled with his inability to deliver on statehood for his people, has caused Abbas to turn more and more autocratic at home. He's silenced his rivals, consolidated his grip on power in both his party and the Palestinian Authority, and overseen the diminishing role of media and civil society. The tragedy of Abbas the leader is that the man who criticized Arafat for his iron-clad grip on power has largely replicated his predecessor's ruthless governing style. Perhaps he wouldn't have turned into the authoritarian he is today if he had actually produced a sovereign state for his people through negotiations, his preferred route. But in the absence of that, all he can do in order to remain in power is silence the opposition – and consolidate his control over the PA's institutions.
The two Arab leaders who have actually signed peace agreements with Israel – King Hussein of Jordan and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt – weren't great believers in democratic institutions, to say the least. But fairly or not, history will most likely remember them by their diplomatic achievements rather than their heavy-handed governing styles at home. Sadly, as of today, the same cannot be said about Mahmoud Abbas.

Griffith Baker's Delight will be donating $2 for every six-pack of hot cross buns sold on March 17, in an attempt to help Griffith's Tilly Smith get a much needed new wheelchair.
The fun-filled "Bunraiser" day will include balloons, entertainment from singer Suellen Roberts, face painting, and a continuous raffle offering prizes. Female staff will be shaving or dyeing their hair, with male staff enduring the pain of getting their legs waxed.
Tilly was diagnosed with with Tetraplegia, or an incomplete quadriplegic, after jumping into the home swimming pool two years ago on Saturday.
The accident left her with no movement in both her arms and legs.
Mum Fiona said she has shown incredible courage.
"She doesn't give a hoot… she just gets on with things."
"She is working hard, and has regained movements in her arms".
But despite the progress, Fiona said the family are both grateful and reliant on the continued support of the Griffith community.
"A lot of people presume Tilly received an insurance payment. But we never received a cent."
"It's hard for people to understand how difficult it's been for all us".
Tilly currently has an electric wheelchair that is bulky and heavy. She is unable to get through a normal house sliding door as the weight of the chair buckles sliding tracks through the door.
"We live on a farm and the wheelchair is clearly not suitable. She gets bogged down in the ground".
Baker's Delight and Tilly's family are fundraising for a new self-propelled Smart Drive Wheelchair, which is lighter, smaller in size and more moveable giving Tilly more access to everyday life.
Tilly's family also faces high costs for medical bills, rehabilitation, transport and modifying the family's home.
Griffith residents are encouraged to get down to Baker's Delight on March 17 to help out and have fun.
Donations can also be made to the family via the account information on the Facebook page – Tilly's Journey.

Secretary's report
As a reminder, next year's annual Debian Conference, DebConf10, will be in the US for the first time (specifically NYC), and so SPI will be serving as the local legal entity. I am the lead of the DebConf10 local team. In my role as SPI Secretary, I provided a visa invitation letter to a Debian participant who wishes to attend and who will need a visa. This letter was drafted in consultation with me by a lawyer, Frank Bynum, with knowledge of visa, immigration, and border law who has agreed to help DebConf10 with these issues.
Substantially the same letter, as modified for each visa applicant's individual circumstances, is expected to be used for the rest of the DebConf10 visa invitation letters, without further mention in SPI secretary's reports unless specific circumstances warrant it. I can provide the letter template to the board and others upon request, but DebConf does not wish to make it public to reduce the risk of abuse by those wishing to involve DebConf in illegal immigration attempts. (This happens every year, not just for the US-based conference.)

Warming influences Mg2+ content, while warming and acidification influence calcification and test strength of a sea urchin
Document Type
Publication details
Byrne, M, Smith, AM, West, S, Collard, M, Dubois, P, Graba-landry & Dworjanyn, SA 2014, 'Warming influences Mg2+ content, while warming and acidification influence calcification and test strength of a sea urchin', Environmental Science & Technology, vol. 48, no. 21, pp. 12620-12627.
Published version available from:
We examined the long-term effects of near-future changes in temperature and acidification on skeletal mineralogy, thickness, and strength in the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla reared in all combinations of three pH (pH 8.1, 7.8, 7.6) and three temperatures (22 °C, 25 °C, 28 °C) from the early juvenile to adult, over 146 days. As the high-magnesium calcite of the echinoderm skeleton is a biomineral form highly sensitive to acidification, and influenced by temperature, we documented the MgCO3 content of the spines, test plates, and teeth. The percentage of MgCO3varied systematically, with more Mg2+ in the test and spines. The percentage of MgCO3 in the test and teeth, but not the spines increased with temperature. Acidification did not change the percentage MgCO3. Test thickness increased with warming and decreased at pH 7.6, with no interaction between these factors. In crushing tests live urchins mostly ruptured at sutures between the plates. The force required to crush a live urchin was reduced in animals reared in low pH conditions but increased in those reared in warm conditions, a result driven by differences in urchin size. It appears that the interactive effects of warming and acidification on the Mg2+ content and protective function of the sea urchin skeleton will play out in a complex way as global climatic change unfolds.

Karaoke, Microphones and TVs!
With the popularity of The KARAOKE Channel Video on Demand service as well as the recent introduction of The KARAOKE Channel TV App, many people ask what type of microphone they need to amplify their voice while singing along to The KARAOKE Channel on their TV.
Microphones and The KARAOKE Channel on TV
To amplify your voice and mix your vocal performance with the music, when singing along with karaoke on your television there are multiple solutions available. However since there are many varieties of microphones, mixers, televisions and speakers, we can only provide the following information as a guideline as to what equipment you might want to purchase.
Microphones require amplification and will not amplify your voice if plugged into an "audio in" port on your television. In addition, depending on the television, plugging anything into the "audio in" may cancel the sound from the television itself.
If you would like to mix the vocal performance with the music, an external mixer will be required in addition to amplifiers and speakers (some of these may be combined in one piece of equipment).
The type of audio mixer to look for is one that accepts a microphone input (usually with a 1/4″ or XLR type connection) as well as an "audio in" (most likely a 1/4″ connection). If the microphone you are using requires "phantom power", please be sure to purchase a mixer that provides phantom power to the microphone. An audio cable from the television "audio out" to the mixer will also be required to mix the music with the vocal. You will need to ensure that the TV audio out is compatible with the mixer's line in. Finally an audio cable from the mixer's "audio out" to the speakers will be necessary. You will need to make sure the mixer's audio out is compatible with your speakers. It is not recommended to plug the mixer's audio out in to the television audio in, as this may cause feedback or a delay to occur.
As mentioned, there is a wide variety of equipment and microphones to choose from, and not all will be compatible with specific television sets and sound systems. If there is a music supply store in your area that sells microphones and mixers, they may be best to help you choose a microphone, mixer, amplifier and speakers that will work best with your TV setup.
An alternative would be to purchase wireless microphones to amplify your voice, while letting your TV play the music (without mixing via a mixing console). A search on Amazon.com for "Dual Wireless Microphones" will display a list of results for all budgets. Or you could opt for a standalone microphone and speaker system like the Memorex SingStand.

Thanks for the article. Unfortunately, that doesn't help too much. The sound from my logitech revue google tv is via an hdmi cable. There is no way to connect that to standard mixers (as far as I can tell), although I may be missing something. It seem like you might be missing out on a segment of the population that wants to use your product but can't figure out how to do it
thanks again
check if your tv has an RCA audio output, if it does connect that to the mixer input then hook your mixer output to your stereo amp/receiver then you're good to go. You can buy decent mixers for $50 from any music/audio store. Hope that helps.
Personally, I love karaoke but there is way too much crap and money involved and required, and such little product! I filled out all my personal info yesterday, and it tells me today that I don`t exist! It was right! I don`t exist on this website! Thanks anyway!!!
if you want ivudniidal control over the 3 channels, yes you will need a 3 channel mixer, and it should be a STEREO 3 s channel mixer too, not mono
Hi Russell, We've submitted the issue that you are experiencing to the customer support department. They will be in touch with you soon.
Any idea of if and/or when there will be an app for Samsung Smarttvs?
Please, people, get a compressor. You must have a compressor because the vast majority of people have no idea how to use a mic properly. The compressor will stop the amp from being overloaded when you suddenly blast into it. The compressor stops the huge distortions that happen at that time. Please buy a compressor – probably about 50 dollars on ebay… I should have a look… I had a look I was right! Good luck!
We just got uverse and were excited by the karaoke channel, but cannot figure what we need to buy, much less how to plug it all in. Audio & video go from the modem to our reciever, then to the TV & Speakers (not TV speakers). So where would the mixer & microphone fit in this scenario?
Hi Bob,
The microphones would be plugged into a mixer / amplifier. If you can, you could also connect the receiver into the mixer. But all of these will depend on the equipment you already have. Is there a musical equipment store in your area that you can visit for help? The easiest thing to do would be to let the audio com from your TV/Stereo system and purchase a small amplifier with microphones to amplify your voice. Prices vary – There is a link to an economical solution in the article or this Mackie portable miniPA system might work for you http://www.mackie.com/products/srm150/ Again it would be best to visit an electronics/music store to make sure the equipment you have is compatible.
Best wishes,
Hi Teresa
I have access to online Indian Karaoke music that I can play via my laptop. I have a home theater system using Denon receiver. Hence, I can hook the laptop to the Denon receiver via a HDMI cable. This will allow the Karaoke music (without the singer voice) through the home theater speaker system and allow the lyrics being scrolled on the TV connected to the home theater system. Now, what are my options for connecting two microphones to the home theater system and the laptop? Thanks.
