Obviously, the main villains of Star Wars have been the evil Emperor Palpatine and his dark apprentice, Darth Vader -- Palpatine's scheming, 2-faced ways have been at the heart of the saga, and Darth Vader is one of the most menacing villains the screen has ever known. But beyond these 2 Sith Lords lies a group of secondary villains that have in some cases rocked the Star Wars galaxy to its very core and made life quite difficult for our heroes (on rare occasions even literally impossible), both in the movies and the Expanded Universe.
But which one of these dastardly wrongdoers is the best after Vader & Palpatine? What makes him the nastiest of Star Wars nasties, is it the attitude, the fighting abilities, the cool gear, the strategizing, the red lightsaber? This week's poll is all about which secondary Star Wars villain is your favorite and why, there are 10 options ranging from the prequels to the EU, from Sith to Hutt, so vote now and voice your opinion.
thanks to Tycho for the idea.

TUPELO – Tupelo didn't let Grenada starter Hunter Bull stay on the mound much longer than seven seconds.
Tupelo scored five runs in the first inning on the way to a 12-4 Division 2-6A win over the Chargers.
Bull hit three batters and Tupelo sent 11 to the plate.
Tupelo (10-7, 2-2) has won two straight division games after an 0-2 start and clinched the Grenada series.
"We set the tone early. That's a big win for us," said Tupelo coach Gary Enis. "We made some good defensive plays to end some innings."
With two on in the top of the first, shortstop Ben Matthews snagged a double-play grounder that barely missed an umpire.
In the bottom, Kyle Cofer's bases-loaded walk scored J.G. Miley and Reed Taylor's two-run single made it 3-0 Tupelo.
Matthews' two-run single made it 5-0 and Bull was pulled after hitting Miley to load the bases.
runs keep coming
Cofer added an RBI single in the second. Grenada (9-3, 1-3) got three back in the fourth on Josh Greer's RBI double, Trey Bledsoe's bloop and Jarvorious Redditt's third hit.
Tupelo starter Michael Hensley walked Will Jordan to load the bases before Bud Goss came in and got a two-out goundout with a 6-3 lead. Hensley improved to 4-1.
"We've been 0-2 in division before, last year, and knew how important this was," Cofer said. "We haven't been hitting the ball well, so we brought the sticks out."
Goss moved a pair of runners with a bunt in the fourth and Miley scored on a sac fly from Cofer, who drove in four.
J.P. Stanzell added a two-run single for a 9-3 lead before Cofer's fourth RBI and Michael Ray's RBI double.
Redditt was 4 for 4 for the Chargers.
"They obviously hit the ball well today and we did some things to help them too," Grenada coach Jake Yarborough said.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Broadcasting Treaty
Last week negotiators from around the world came together as the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) standing committee on copyright (SCCR) resumed consideration of its two current work items: the on-again, off-again broadcasters' rights treaty, and the harmonization of minimum copyright limitations and exceptions for libraries, archives, and education.
In Jewish religious law, there is an offence called lifnei iver (literally, "before the blind"), that prohibits placing stumbling blocks before blind people, deriving from a verse of scripture also accepted by Christians and Muslims. This offense seems so obvious that it hardly requires a scripture verse to call it out. But the authors of the Torah obviously didn't count on the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), who are doing exactly that.
Video is an enormous part of the Internet today. At least two thirds of all Internet traffic is streaming video. YouTube is the third most-visited website in the US and the world, and its users add a mind-boggling 300 hours of new content every minute—dwarfing the video produced for broadcast or cable television. And unlike television, online video came into being without government oversight, all due to one important neutral platform for innovation—the Internet.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has been working towards the development of a Treaty on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations since 1998; about three times as long as the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations have taken so far, but with far less to show for it. Part of the reason for the delay has been a fundamental lack of clarity about what the whole exercise is actually about.
For those of us following the continuing saga of the unnecessary and harmful WIPO Broadcasting Treaty, its latest manifestation is starting to have the feel of a tired movie franchise. Every few years, as soon as Hollywood thinks it can squeeze a few more dollars out of a new installment, the same bad idea gets rehashed with the same cast of characters, and still no substance.
But unlike a bad sequel, we can't just ignore each new round of negotiations: the interests pushing for the treaty are counting on a lapse of vigilance from the public in order to push the bad policy through.

From Westphalia to Buenos Aires, from Suriname to El Dorado -- how far is too far for true love?
San Juan Hills' "Candide" caricatures Voltaire's 18th-century satire into a delightful romp through a seven-country, multiple continent expedition, alive with a jaunty cast of wacky individuals, and brimming with a slew of side-splitting pop culture references.
When young Candide falls for the heavenly Cunegonde, he must embark on a journey of philosophy, danger, and several escapes from death to win her back, while his perspective on life changes".
Candide (Benjamin Rutkowski) stands steadfast in the face of ridiculous rivals like Don Fernando and vicious villains like the Grant Inquisitor. Maturing with each murder committed, his boyish gaze of wide-eyed innocence develops into a hardened resolve to defend and find his true love.
Meanwhile, beloved Cunegonde (Aimee Savran) swoons and sighs with ample melodramatics, juxtaposing Candide's calm qualities with her sultry personality. Candide's loveable sidekick, Cacambo (Mikayla Gerlach), also tags along on the adventure, never ceasing to elicit laughs while grazing nonchalantly on an assortment of snacks.
Heinrich (Grant Dossey) frivolously flaunts his ludicrous character, his German accent unfaltering as every word he utters is met with appreciative chuckles. Similarly, the Old Woman With No Name and Only One Buttock (Makenna Johnson) dramatically lumbers on stage, slow as molasses, and uses audience interaction to invasive proportions as she sits on an audience member's lap, her Jersey accent echoing while she jabbers away.
But it's the sheep that steal the show with their diva head shakes and sassy hip sways, providing a feisty familiarity as Candide transitions across the globe.
Lighting (Reese Ravner) astounds with its spot-on timing and dazzling effect on the signs hanging above the performance, illuminating each location in Candide's quest, while the cast provides the humorous effect of "oohs" and "ahhs." The simple set (Hannah Benton) of a creative slideshow and a smooth ocean floor also contrasts the extravagance of the production perfectly.
"Candide's" cast of distinct, hilarious characters flawlessly delivers this comedy. With a spot-on crew and infectious energy, San Juan Hills wows in this modern tale of a classic hero's journey, proving that there's no distance too far for true love, and a little optimism can truly go a long way.

Services Availability: No way to send mails to fr.st domain
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Mon May 10 11:50:53 2004.
On a regularly basis, our smtp bounce mails sent to addresses of the domain fr.st (like email@example.com).
It is due to a misconfiguration on fr.st side (451 Could not complete sender verify) and it is a permanent error.
As result, we can only advise fr.st's users to avoid using their address at fr.st when using Gna!, especially when they expect notifications/replies. Most of the time, the failure happen after during the user account creation process: our smtp is unable to send the confirmation mail.
If fr.st users really want to use their address here, they should ask first the admins of fr.st to fix their setup. We wouldn't be surprised if many other smtps like our were unable to send mail to fr.st domain.

I will be adding a binary for Linux to the binary list soon.
I just updated the Chicago web site.
I added the following:
I will be adding a binary for Linux to the binary list soon.
It's official. I am now the maintainer of the xlhtml project. It's new homepage can be found at http://chicago.sf.net/xlhtml. I invite everyone to download the code and bang away on it.
I just updated the xlhtml web site. I added links to the batch converter script, and the XLS viewer. The batch converter script, takes all the xls files in a directory and converts them to HTML. The xls viewer is a gui frontend for xlhtml.
I just updated the Chicago web site. I changed some links and the structure a little bit. It should be easier to follow now.
I updated the Chicago Developer page over the weekend. I added some links to MS docs on the file Excel file format.
I just updated the Chicago project developer web page. I added links to 3 projects (1 TCL 2 PHP) that can write the Excel file format.
I also cleaned up the documentation list. I will be adding links to more documentation in a little bit.
Well it looks like I may get some help in figuring out
the Excel Encryption Algorithm. I received an e-mail from
someone at a company called Arizan, looking for information
on the Algorithm.
I checked out Arizan's web site, and found they provide a way to read and interact with popular file formats on your PDA, including MS Word/Excel/PPT.
I assume they want info on the algorithm so they can add the ability to open password protected Excel files if the password is supplied.
I will cooperate with them, and ask that any information they discover be turned over to the Open Source community.
I hope that with a company investing some time in this, more information on the algorithm can be uncovered.
I just updated my paper on Excel encryption. It adds the following
I am now certified at Journeyer level. I want to thank mirwin for doing this.

Ahem, the new toyfare arrived the other day, with the headline
"Simpsons Shocker ! The celebrity toy you won't believe. Plus: Playset Previews"
'Hmm, what could that be?' I wondered . . . so I flip to the inside, and see the picture I've attached below. Imagine my delight ! :happy: I can't believe they are actually doing him ! :happy:
Oh, but then I read the preview in tiny print off to the left:
"We couldn't wait any longer, so we went ahead and made the Simpsons celebrity toys we most want to see!"
Frankly, I'm peeved because their cover should not be so misleading.
I will however say they made some very cool customs, if interested I will share more (since many of you gave up on Toyfare ).
The last custom they showed was Stephen Hawking, and apparently Playmates is actually going to make him !

In April, the hottest month of the year in Thailand, all activity in Bangkok slows to a molasses pace. But in the spring of 2010, Bangkok was anything but quiet. Tens of thousands of red-shirted protestors descended upon the city to protest against the government, which they viewed as illegitimate and unsympathetic to the working class, and to call for a new election. They mostly hailed from poorer villages in the rural northeast, or from working-class suburbs. At first, the protests seemed like a village street party. Demonstrators snacked on sticky rice and grilled chicken, and danced in circles to bands playing mor lam, a northeastern Thai music that, with its wailing guitars and plaintive, yodeling vocals, resembles an Asian version of Hank Williams.
Within weeks, however, the demonstrations turned violent, leading to the worst bloodshed in Bangkok in two decades. On April 10, the troops cracked down hard, sometimes shooting randomly into the crowds. By the end of the day, 24 people had been killed.

ARSC AccessGrid Remote Control Device Project - Part I
[ By Paul Mercer ]
A new ARSC undergraduate student project that uses the AccessGrid technology to control devices over IP is now operational. The ARSC Remote Control Device Project allows people from anywhere in the world to collaboratively manipulate bots and cameras to complete a predetermined task.
Visit the project's web page for more information, including a video of the bots in action:
The goals of the project include:
- Expand and demonstrate the capabilities of the AccessGrid (http://www.accessgrid.org)
- Create a tool to practice collaboration skills
- Create opportunities for students in Alaska and worldwide to learn about each other
- Increase interest among prospective students that UAF is a great place to attend college
- Expand ARSC's outreach
- Create an ARSC student project
The current "task," although simple, requires the users to move balls from one level to another. To test the skills and ingenuity of the user some obstacles have been built in. For instance, there is no way to get between the levels. The user must construct ramps using the resources on the table but the absence of ramps is only the beginning. The bots have very limited functionality but can complete some very sophisticated maneuvers.
The project is in its first stages. Interested parties are encouraged to download and install the software and give it a try. A "how to" web page is at:
Later, organizations can become involved with task planning, bot building/programming or host their own project.
The project's lead programmer is Devin Jones, a junior Computer Science student at UAF. Devin has expanded and improved the original AG Device Control Service, developed by the Australian National University. Other students contributing to the project are Beau Berryman, Farrin Reid, Kevin Galloway and James Halliday. ARSC has had a tradition of hiring graduate and undergraduate students since 1994. Since then, over 60 UAF students have exercised their work skills while making valuable contributions to ARSC.
In the second part of this series, I'll give you a taste of the programming that makes it all work.
Multicore and New Processing Technologies Review - Part I
[ Thanks to Greg Newby for this two-part review ]
On August 13-14, 2007 ARSC hosted a Symposium on Multicore and New Processing Technologies. This event brought together experts from academic and HPCMP communities to focus on new and next-generation technologies. The main goal of the symposium was to review and assess these technologies and their promise for high performance computing (HPC) work.
Attendees came from ARSC, George Washington University (GWU), the Air Force Rome Laboratory, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, and Cray. The symposium schedule and presentation materials are online at:
The symposium included briefings on ARSC's recent studies and analysis of FPGAs, multicore processors, and new programming languages.
ARSC is a charter member in the NSF Center for High Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC) and has an ongoing research collaboration with GWU, one of CHREC's partner institutions. Work with GWU for the past three years has included a focus on the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for HPC.
This year, several GWU graduate students spent the summer at ARSC, continuing work on FPGAs, and adding emphasis on multicore processors, including the CELL processor. FPGA work has taken place on Nelchina, ARSC's Cray XD1 supercomputer. One of the goals for the summer was to work on software libraries that would make it easier for programmers to benefit from the faster performance that FPGAs can offer. Symposium attendees agreed on the need for libraries to ease adoption of new processing technologies.
Another new technology discussed was the use of graphics processing units (GPUs), as found in high-end graphics cards, for HPC work. Some of the most important libraries for HPC work (including BLAS and LAPACK) are already available for GPUs, which can offer impressive speedups for single precision floating point operations. With 128 processing cores on today's high end GPUs, these can greatly outpace general purpose CPUs which have only one, two or four processing cores. However, there are bottlenecks in the use of GPUs, and they cannot handle the breadth of a typical HPC workload.
Another important limitation on the use of GPUs for HPC is their physical size. These are full-length cards, often taking two physical slots to accommodate their on-card fan and other components. Such cards are difficult or impossible to fit in typical HPC form factors, such as Midnight's x2200 compute nodes (each is under 2" tall). Nevertheless, the symposium attendees thought that the performance of the GPUs (in terms of FLOPS per Watt) will make them appealing for workstation-class computation. The future of GPUs for HPC work will largely depend on whether the limitations above are addressed before other solutions (FPGAs and larger-scale multicore processors) can outperform GPUs.
Thanks to the large market for high-end gaming and graphics work, there remains a likelihood of continued progress in GPUs. One of the most exciting developments is the emergence of new languages to make better use of GPUs, such as Nvidia's CUDA. These will help bring the power of GPUs to mainstream programmers.
The symposium had several presentations and discussions on today's multicore processors. Many computers today, from notebook computers to supercomputers, have dual core processors. ARSC's Midnight system is one such example. In the near future, quad core processors will become more prevalent. This trend is expected to continue for at least several years, as processor technology changes from increases in the clock speed of CPUs to increases in the number of processor cores on a single physical socket.
More processors on a socket generally means less power consumption per processor, and more processors in the same physical space -- these are of keen interest to supercomputing centers. But ARSC and others have found that doubling the number of processors on a socket doesn't mean you can get twice the computing power, at least for most HPC applications and benchmarks.
At the symposium, ARSC's Ed Kornkven presented findings of comparison studies of Midnight's smaller x2200 nodes to the larger x4600 nodes. The x2200 nodes have four processor cores on two sockets, while the larger nodes feature sixteen cores on eight sockets. Memory is consistent at 4GB per processor core. Across numerous HPC applications and benchmarks, the x2200 nodes were found to be more efficient per core.
There are a few exceptions to this finding, though. First, some applications really need the full 64GB of memory offered by the x4600 nodes. Such applications couldn't fit on the smaller node at all. Secondly, there are some applications that have a more randomized access pattern to memory and the Infiniband interconnect, which seems to even out the discrepancies across the smaller and larger node types.
The GWU graduate students were able to identify a key reason for the difference. GWU doctoral student Abdullah Kayi found that cache coherency checks, which happen for every access to main memory, needed to traverse additional 'hops' on the HyperTransport bus for the x4600s, but only needed one hop on the x2200s. ARSC is continuing to investigate these findings, to offer advice to users on which node type is best suited for particular jobs.
In the next issue, I'll present conclusions and recommendations made by symposium attendees.
Web Search Demystifies Pathscale Fortran Error Message
[ By Oralee Nudson ]
A user recently reported receiving the following pathscale Fortran error message when compiling on midnight:
pathf95 INTERNAL: Unable to open message system.
Unfortunately this error message didn't offer many clues as to its cause. Therefore, we stepped through the typical diagnostic sequence to identify the problem:
- Is the correct pathscale module loaded? Yep, "module load pathscale-2.5".
- Are other users able to replicate the same error message? Nope.
- Does the error message persist after terminating the current shell session and logging back in? Yes.
Hmmm. It appears that we had reached a dead end. Where else could we have looked? Low and behold a google search dug up the solution we were looking for.
Conducting a search on the exact error message returned a link to the pathscale documentation. Within the "Installing the PathScale Compiler Suite" document, the error message was presented along with a simple way to fix it. In this case, the user had set his NLSPATH environment variable to work on an unrelated issue. Because the compiler uses the NLSPATH environment variable to store the location of its message catalogs, the user had overwritten the compiler's default settings and blocked it from being able to reach its "message system". By unsetting NLSPATH within his shell, the user was able to continue compilation and move forward.
Moral of the story? Don't forget to try a good olde fashioned web search when you receive an ambiguous error message.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I can't seem to remember what optimization flags I used to compile [[ my program. Is there any way for me to tell by just looking at the [[ executable? The answer to this question depends on the compiler that you are using. The PathScale compiler comes with a utility called "pathhow-compiled" to let you see compile information in object files or executables. I couldn't find any other compilers suites that have something like this, but that's not to say other examples don't exist. Here's an example of how pathhow-compiled works: # Compile options for an object file mg56 % pathhow-compiled slv_part1.o EKOPath Compiler Version 2.5 compiled slv_part1.f90 with options: -TENV:PIC -O2 -march=opteron -msse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -m64 # Compile options for an executable mg56 % pathhow-compiled slv_part1 EKOPath Compiler Version 2.5 compiled slv_part1.f90 with options: -TENV:PIC -O2 -march=opteron -msse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -m64 EKOPath Compiler Version 2.4.99 compiled ../../libfoobar/fnord.c with options: -O3 -OPT:fast_stdlib=off -march=anyx86 -msse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -m64 EKOPath Compiler Version 2.4.99 compiled ../../libf/fio/main.c with options: -O3 -OPT:fast_stdlib=off -march=anyx86 -msse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -m64 Q: Let's help out those university students heading to off-campus housing.

The history of politicization of science for political ends is long, and sadly, destructive.
As HonestReporting has previously highlighted, formerly credible medical media outlets such as the British Medical Journal have drifted away from scientific exploration to scientific exploitation, particularly when concerned with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Lancet describes itself as "one of the world's leading medical journals" and claims an online registration of some 1.8 million users. On July 2, 2010, it published the "best peer-reviewed abstracts" from a meeting of the 2nd Lancet-Palestinian Health Alliance Conference.
A cornerstone of most peer-reviewed journals is freedom from bias. No conference or article today can be promoted or published without a clear declaration of conflict of interest by its authors or promoters. No such declarations are published in The Lancet series.
A medical background is no guarantee of objectivity or lack of bias when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After all, some of the Hamas leadership such as Mahmoud al-Zahar and the late Abdel Aziz Rantisi were medical professionals, while the Marxist Dr. Mads Gilbert pumped out propaganda from Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.
Some research into the background of a number of contributors to The Lancet's articles reveals some disturbing information and calls into question the credibility of the content, particularly as most of those below are active supporters of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
Weamm Hammoudeh: Testified at the US trial of her own brother, indicted for providing material support for a terrorist organization. The indictment included Hammoudeh's Florida school where she studied, which was believed to be a front for supporting Islamic Jihad. While Hammoudeh's brother was eventually acquitted, he and other members of the family were deported from the US after Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they believed that "Hammoudeh had ties to terrorists," despite his acquittal.
Rita Giacaman: The co-author of three of the featured articles has appeared on a panel with none other than Noam Chomsky, railing (somewhat ironically considering the contents of this communique) at the power of pro-Israel lobby groups silencing criticism of Israel in medical journals. (See video from 3.09 mins.)
She co-authored a report on the effect on Palestinian living conditions during Israel's 2002 Operation Defensive Shield, concluding "What this population experienced in this unilateral war cannot be justified simply by the prerogative of Israeli security, and can only point to a more insidious purpose for the re-invasion, a purpose that in the Palestinian experience, could only have been the destruction of the structures and framework for the survival and the social development of the Palestinian nation."
Also authored a 2005 article in Nature magazine entitled "A boycott could do good in Israel, as in South Africa." Signatory to Palestine Solidarity Campaign 2009 open letter to Choir of Clare College, Cambridge urging it to reconsider performing in Israel.
Majdi Ashour: During his time as a student in the US, was a supporter of the Third Annual Palestine Solidarity and Divestment Conference at Rutgers, and a signatory to a petition that spoke of the Palestinian fight "against apartheid all over historic Palestine occupied in 1948" and "ethnic supremacy and pursuit of purity" being carried out by Israel.
David Henley: On the Board of Advisors to the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme, described by NGO Monitor as politically biased, attributes social problems in Gaza only to the Israeli "occupation," and ignores intra-Palestinian violence and corruption. It is involved in political campaigning: has signed petitions for economic and academic boycotts of Israel and on November 12, 2005, GCMHP hosted a delegation of European Parliamentarians and described to them the "psychological violence" waged by Israel in Gaza and claimed that "the disengagement was a mirage to be consumed by the Western Media."
A signatory to a manifesto attacking former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon who is described as "the biggest threat to the Israeli people and to Jews around the world."
Rika Fujiya: Listed as the contact for a Tokyo event as part of a global mobilization of the Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign.
Espen Bjertness: Co-author of five of the featured articles, is a prominent supporter of an academic boycott of Israel in Norway and was a signatory to a petition in support of boycotts, divestment and sanctions of Israel calling "upon all those who oppose occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes".
Gerd Holmboe-Ottesen: Co-author of two of the featured articles, was also a signatory to the same petition in support of boycotts, divestment and sanctions of Israel as described above.
Abdullatif Husseini: Co-authored a report on the effect on Palestinian living conditions during Israels 2002 Operation Defensive Shield, concluding "What this population experienced in this unilateral war canno
t be justified simply by the prerogative of Israeli security, and can only point to a more insidious purpose for the re-invasion, a purpose that in the Palestinian experience, could only have been the destruction of the structures and framework for the survival and the social development of the Palestinian nation."
Rema Afifi: Signatory to Palestine Solidarity Campaign 2009 open letter to Choir of Clare College, Cambridge urging it to reconsider performing in Israel.
Judy Makhoul: Signatory to the Lebanese academic boycott of Israel which calls on "our colleagues worldwide to support the call by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel to comprehensively and consistently boycott and disinvest from all Israeli academic and cultural institutions, and to refrain from participation in any form of academic and cultural cooperation, collaboration or joining projects with Israeli institutions as a contribution to the struggle to end Israels occupation, colonization and system of apartheid."
Sawsan Abdulrahim: Signatory to a 2006 statement criticizing the Lebanese government for not embracing the "Lebanese Resistance Operation" – code for Hezbollah. Also a signatory to the Lebanese academic boycott of Israel as described above.
Misinformation and Bias
Indeed, the overall impression that The Lancet seeks to bring can be summed up by an article that states:
On Feb 28, the day that international contributors to the conference were arriving in Ramallah, hundreds of Israeli settlers, escorted by Israeli security forces, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem. There was tension in the air; the smell of violence everywhere; and denial or restricted access from one part of the West Bank to another and to East Jerusalem.
Of course, there was no such incident as a storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by anyone let alone "hundreds of Israeli settlers".
Another article states:
1400 people were estimated to have died, and many were injured during the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, occupied Palestinian territory, from Dec 27, 2008, to Jan 18, 2009; and the destruction of infrastructure, including homes, was unprecedented.
Even without addressing the fact that the report ignores that terrorists were part of the estimated number of casualties, have the authors forgotten that Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005? How can it be described as "occupied Palestinian territory"?
This same mistaken description appears again in another article under the emotive title "Women in labour and midwives during Israeli assault on Gaza Strip: between bullets and labour pains":
We report the personal accounts of childbirth experiences and coping skills of women and midwives during the 23 days of the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, occupied Palestinian territory, in December, 2008, and January, 2009.
This article also includes allegations lacking in context from so-called "eyewitnesses" that do not belong in a credible medical study:
As one woman said "nights were like 'ghouls'…I was not thinking like other people in face of death or shelling…but was only thinking of my case! What would happen if I had labour pains at night? How will I manage? They were shelling even ambulances!"
Another outrageous claim that "pregnant mothers were denied access to hospitals for birth care" appears in a related article. While freedom of Palestinian movement has been restricted due to legitimate Israeli security concerns (context that is not mentioned in any of the reports), it is simply disingenuous to imply that Israel has deliberately withheld healthcare for pregnant Palestinian women.
Indeed, one is left with the overall impression from many of the articles that deficiencies in Palestinian health are purely Israel's fault as this article suggests:
One of the most important achievements in Palestinian science was the publication of five reports from the ICPH in The Lancet 2009 Series Health in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This Series showed that Palestinian right to health was compromised because of Israeli occupation (squeezed economy, movement restrictions, spread of fear, uncertainty, insecurity), and confirmed adverse health effects due to occupation and systematic and avoidable differences in health implying health inequity.
Omissions and Lack of Context
The above examples are but a tiny sample of how this large number of articles combine to create an overall bias against Israel. Also notable is what has been omitted from the articles. There is no mention of:
The systematic use of medical facilities, vehicles and uniforms as cover for terrorist operations during Operation Cast Lead, in clear violation of the Law of Armed Conflict.
This included the extensive use of ambulances bearing the protective emblems of the Red Cross and Red Crescent to transport operatives and weaponry; the use of ambulances to "evacuate" terrorists from the battlefield; and the use of hospitals and medical infrastructure as headquarters, situation-rooms, command centers, and hiding pl
The approval of entry of Gazans into Israel for medical treatment.
No acknowledgement of the fact that there were terrorists amongst those killed during Operation Cast Lead.
No mention of Israeli humanitarian aid to Gaza both during and after military operations.
No mention of Hamas or Palestinian rocket and terror attacks.
Calling on Doctors to Take Action
Anti-Israel bias should have no place in medical journals. Getting an article or study published in such places as The Lancet is supposedly extremely difficult and subject to intense scrutiny through peer-review.
Why is it that the bar is lowered to allow the publication of articles by medical professionals and others who have clearly demonstrated a politicized anti-Israel agenda that goes way beyond the field of medicine?
If you are a certified medical professional, please contact The Lancet's Ombudsman, Charles Warlow – firstname.lastname@example.com

One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
You also know good and well that is not what Amiable was talking about when he said pacifism but please let your hatred for Bush continue to blind you to any common sense on the subject.
Amiable Labs can speak for himself, but it seems pretty clear to me that a) you're taking what he wrote way out of context, and b) that you're implying a callousness by him to the death/injury of US servicemen when there's none there (doesn't he have a son in the USMC right now?).
We are there because, like Secretary Powell said, we broke it, we bought it.
Actually, it is difficult to understand what Kevin is talking about. Please explain to mean what Kevin was getting at with his "pacifism" comment.
I don't hate the man, just many of his policies.
Good Morning, John -
No, I haven't had my coffee yet. Does it show that much? (Note To Self: Coffee first...)
Please, explain the context for me.
No, President Bush does not have a son in the USMC. Kevin's son did one tour in Intel up at 8th and I in D.C. and went back to school to become, I think, a teacher.

TBS - President Bush has frustrated those of us who have supported him throughout his years in office by his unwillingness to engage his critics at home. We all recognize that weakness in his strategy & I believe it has led to his inability to get quality individuals into top posts willing to step up for the needs of our nation.

By NEMS Daily Journal
The difficult business of governing resumed Wednesday morning, just hours after President Barack Obama's second-term victory over GOP challenger Mitt Romney. However, the hard partisan rhetoric on deficits, debts and revenue that had characterized most of the past two years was more pliable – and encouraging.
Extending the conciliatory notes struck in former Gov. Romney's concession speech in Boston and the president's victory speech in Chicago, U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., both pledged a form of reaching across aisles.
Business is pressing because what's described as a "fiscal cliff" awaits with continuing inaction. In January, taxes will go up and federal spending will be cut dramatically under terms of previous legislation.
While Boehner said the re-election of the House Republican majority meant there was "no mandate for raising tax rates" he said later in a public statement that new revenue is not off the table. Similarly, Reid said compromise is necessary.
Obama had spoken to Reid, Boehner and Romney during the day on Wednesday.
Most citizens clearly expect progress from the White House and Congress. Polls indicate historically low approval ratings for Congress.
Late Tuesday, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., also offered to work with his peers.
"We face a time of massive problems in the federal government. Unfortunately there are no simple answers, but now is the time to come together and address these challenges," Wicker said.
Sen. Thad Cochran confined his comment to spending bills: "It is my hope that the Senate will be able to resolve its differences and approve spending bills on time and within the constraints of a budget resolution."
Last year, during Obama-Boehner negotiations over a superdeal, Boehner had tentatively agreed to support $800 billion in additional revenue over the next decade in exchange for Obama's commitment to let the top tax rate fall below the current 35 percent.
Boehner mentioned the negotiations, saying, "We're closer than many think to the critical mass needed legislatively to get tax reform done."
Boehner said Democrats must confront entitlements – the rising cost of Social Security and federal health programs – a fair and necessary expectation.
Mississippi, whose economy continues struggling, has at least as much as any other state to gain from a timely resolution of the "fiscal cliff."

Buakaw's Next Fight: Feb. 12
- Written by Dave Walsh
2010 Shootboxing S-Cup champion Buakaw Por. Pramuk has just been announced for an upcoming fight. On February 12, the 2 time former K-1 MAX champion will main event the "Nuit des Titans" card held in France. His opponent will be Youssef Adgham-Boughanem, a French-Moroccan Muay Thai fighter. The fight will be under full Muay Thai rules.
Boughanem has good experience, and is coming off a strong 2010 where he made the finals of the Isuzu Thai Fight tournament, ultimately losing to Fabio Pinca. He's definitely not a can, but he is a huge underdog again Buakaw. There's no shame in that as Buakaw is the clear #2 70kg fighter in the world at this point, and is currently riding a nice 6 fight win streak that includes his S-Cup championship run.
Since parting ways with K-1 at the end of 2009, Buakaw has been fighting in various organizations throughout the world. This announcement also comes on the heels of Shootboxing revealing that Buakaw would be featured in their 2011 season. Although it's unfortunate to have him out of K-1, it's nice seeing him compete in these different settings, and particularly great to see him back in Muay Thai competition as we see here. It feels like he has transitioned into a new phase of his career where he faces various regional talents looking to take a shot at the legend. These may not be the most competitive match-ups, but it is fun to see Buakaw do his thing.
Come Feb. 12, Buakaw's 2011 begins. I don't expect Boughanem to provide much of a challenge just yet, so we will see just who can indeed challenge the champ in the new year.

Manufacturer's suggested wear time: Up to 7 days.
Always consult your physician before starting any wound care regimen.
How Mepilex Works
Mepilex minimizes both trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes. The Safetac layer prevents Mepilex from sticking to the moist wound bed yet it adheres gently to the surrounding skin. The gentle adhesion frees both hands for easy application of secondary fixation. Mepilex absorbs effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration.
Benefits of Mepilex Border Sacrum
Safetac Technology
Safetac technology is less painful because it:
2) molds to the skin�s pores, covering more skin surface and spreading peel forces on removal to prevent skin stripping
3) seals the wound margins, ensuring exudate does not spread to the surrounding skin and minimizing maceration
Safetac technology�s soft silicone molds to the skin�s uneven surface pores, while other adherents simply stick to the tops on the skin�s surface.
This molding action is the secret to why Safetac technology is so effective at minimizing pain and preventing maceration.
Moisture and Bacteria Proof Film Backing
Safetac Soft Silicone Layer
Improved Fluid Handling
Be certain to contact your physician or wound care therapist prior to starting any new wound care regimen.

I've never been a fan of sin taxes, be they on liquor, cigarettes, drugs that are currently illegal, or cola. Personally, the only one that affects me are liquor taxes -- I drink absolutely no sweetened beverages. If I were going to identify a tax worth considering from a nutritional perspective, it would be an excise tax on all advertising for processed foods. Sugar is just one of the problems, and it may not be the worst.
Jeff Goodwin
Many schools have already taken vending machines out of schools. Sort of silly to take the machines out instead of just putting better things in the machines.
The whole point of taxing the sweetened beverages is that they are not really taxing the product, but rather the behavior they want to discourage. Yes, that would go for smoking, drugs, etc.
I can see restricting smoking in public places, as they have done in most places in PA. Except, that is, that casinos are given smoking areas The state gets 50% of the gaming revenues (as a tax), so am guessing that the casino people said lots of people smoke when they gamble, so they "need" smoking areas in the casinos. PA's law does specifically allow you to smoke in your own home. Wasn't that nice of them to add that? If a personal behavior infringes on someone else's rights, or endangers someone else, then I can see need for a law that protects another individual's safety or infringes on someone else's rights.
One could say that a drug user hurts nobody but himself. I think the problem with drugs like heroin, meth, coke is that eventually the addict simply can no longer function and can, indeed, become a danger to other people. Of course, it might be helpful for the health care issue since their lives would probably be shorter if free rein was given to their addiction.

I try not to eat anything that comes in bags, boxes or wrappers, and NEVER soda. Knowing human frailty, that means not bringing it home, b/c if a Dr. Pepper is staring at me everytime I open the fridge, I know what will happen.
The food industry has employed behavioral psychologists to help market and sell their products. Salt and sugar cravings are unavoidable human desires. In nature, they help us survive when salts and calories may be far and few between. When they're put in fancy, colorful boxes and stacked on shelves, and require only to unwrap or zap for 30 seconds, we typically can't resist.
Next time you're in WalMart, conduct this simple observation. Stand at the end of the vegetable area and notice the body habitus of people buying fresh fruits and vegetables. Then stand at the end of the potatochip/twinkie aisle and observe. Or the soda aisle. Hell, just notice the floor space dedicated to fresh produce versus potatochips and coke. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why our life expectancies are falling behind other countries.
to answer your question, adults should be able to stuff anything in their gullet or lungs that they want to. I do appreciate not having smoke blown in my face if I'm trying to enjoy a good meal, so I do agree with Pa's indoor smoking ban and public places.
bon apetite regards,

Family: Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers view all from this family
Description 5 1/4-6 1/2" (13-16.5 cm). A very small, gray-green to olive-brown bird with prominent light wingbars. Whitish to pale olive to yellowish below. Faint to no pale eye-ring. Lower bill light yellow to orange.
Endangered Status The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, a subspecies of the Willow Flycatcher, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Destruction of the dense streamside thickets that it nests in has dealt a serious blow to this species. Another problem has been nest parasitism by cowbirds, which lay their own eggs in the flycatchers' nests, to the detriment of the flycatchers' own broods. Predators, especially those that feed on eggs, have also contributed to this small bird's decline.
Habitat Dense streamside thickets and woodlands.
Range Breeds in southwestern United States, locally from California to Texas. Winters in Mexico and southward.

Ice cream best bets on Long Island
If you're tired of ice cream, you're tired of life. Truly, it is providence's perfect food. But you know humans -- they like to tinker with perfection. Here are some variations on the theme of ice cream on Long Island.
Joe & Liza's(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Joe & Liza's, Bridgehampton: Joe and Liza Tremblay have been making ice cream at their Sag Harbor restaurant, Bay Burger, for years. But in 2012, they switched from a commercial ice-cream base to a stabilizer-, preservative-, hormone-free one custom made by a Hudson Valley dairy. Some of Joe & Liza's signature flavors are coffee, local strawberry and two varieties of mint chip, one a traditional vivid green made with mint extract, the other, colorless, made with cream that Liza infuses with fresh mint leaves.
Ice Cream Cottage(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Ice Cream Cottage, Mastic: John Pastore has been making ice cream at his little "cottage" in Mastic since 1980, serving ice cream in an unparalleled variety of cones including sugar, wafer, double wafer, waffle, chocolate waffle, chocolate chip, chocolate wafer, pretzel and M&M. Ice cream flavors include chocolate overdose (fudge, chips, brownies), black forest (black Bordeaux cherries and broken-up chocolate shell) and chocolate peanut-butter cup.
Carla Marla's Ice Cream Parlor(Credit: Anthony Lanzilote)
Carla Marla's Ice Cream Parlor, Bellport: The picture-perfect village of Bellport gets the ice cream parlor it deserves in the form of Carla Marla's, the old-timey shop that has been satisfying the sweet teeth of generations of Bellporters. There are about 20 flavors on hand at any one time, recent favorites include Mint-Ting-A-Ling (mint shot through with chocolate cookie crunch) and Movie Time (buttery-popcorn-flavored ice cream with sea-salt caramel). For Fido, there are Frosty Paws frozen dog treats.
Pazzo Gelato(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Pazzo Gelato, Garden City Park: Across the "piazza" from his Uncle Bacala's Italian Seafood restaurant, Peter Hewitson and partners opened a gelateria that makes its own fresh, creamy Italian-style ice cream. On any given day Pazzo offers about a dozen flavors; the banana-chocolate chip (pictured), made with just-overripe bananas, is a particular standout.
Sweet Treats on the Wharf(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Sweet Treats on the Wharf, Port Washington: In the nearly two decades that Douglas Shepardson has run Sweet Treats on the Wharf, he has produced most of the frozen desserts known to man: ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, Italian ice, sorbet and shave ice, a Hawaiian specialty in which finely ground ice is topped with sweet, colorful, fruit-flavored syrup, resulting in a refreshing solid-going-slushy beverage. Buy a cup, then stroll onto Inspiration Wharf for one of the best views on the North Shore.
Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen, Bridgehampton: Little has changed at Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen since it opened in 1925, the ice cream is still homemade and fruit flavors, often made with local fruit in season, are a specialty.
Frozen Cow Ices and Cream(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Frozen Cow Ices and Cream, Lido Beach: It took some serious scoops to open an ice cream store a block away from Lido Beach's Marvel, but the owners of Frozen Cow have an entirely different approach. The emphasis is on inventive flavors such as sea-salt caramel, and a breakfast special, made with maple syrup and bits of bacon and Belgian waffles (pictured).
Port Jefferson Frigate(Credit: Heather Walsh)
Port Jefferson Frigate, Port Jefferson: Port Jefferson Frigate does it all: hard ice cream, soft serve ice cream, yogurt, candy, chocolates, gelato, popcorn, fudge, smoothies, cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels. For those seeking a slightly more restrained confection, there's the fruit cream blast, a combination of soft-serve vanilla ice cream and fruit sorbet blended -- but not all the way -- so you can discern the creaminess of the vanilla from the iciness of the sorbet. Sorbet flavors include orange, raspberry, lemon and mango.
Sip 'n' Soda Luncheonette(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Sip 'n' Soda Luncheonette, Southampton: This Southampton stalwart has been in the Parash family since 1958; little has changed since then. The four queens sundae (pictured) features homemade chocolate syrup -- a rarity -- poured over four scoops of homemade ice cream, with whipped cream and a cherry.
Magic Fountain(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Magic Fountain, Mattituck: This North Fork ice cream stalwart is famous for its unexpected flavors. The roster is long and changes frequently, but may include kulfi (an aromatic Indian confection), rainbow cookie, coconut-jalapeno, olive oil or grape-nuts. Dairy-free varieties, such as vegan raspberry, are also available.
Viale Gelateria(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Viale Gelateria, Lynbrook: At her spotlessly clean new gelateria, Italian expat Anna Franchi offers about two dozen flavors every day. The variety rotates, but the resonantly nutty pistachio gelato (pictured) is a must-order. Dress it up with chocolate sauce or a sprinkling of crunchy little meringue bits.
Marshall's Ice Cream Bar(Credit: Marisol Diaz)
Marshall's Ice Cream Bar, Massapequa: Marshall's makes its own ice cream, and a mean malt. The chocolate is intensely (but not ponderously) chocolaty, with just the right kick of malt.
Henry's Confectionery(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Henry's Confectionery, Glen Cove: Two of this venerable luncheonette's specialties are breakfast and ice cream. If you'd care to sample both at the same time, try the waffle a la mode: a fresh-baked waffle topped with your choice of homemade ice cream, fresh fruit topping and whipped cream.
Marvel Frozen Dairy(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Marvel Frozen Dairy, Lido Beach: Lido Beach's iconic Marvel ice cream stand got new owners in 2014, aside from a fresh coat of paint, the Fragioudakis family hasn't changed a thing. Folks still line up to get Marvel's signature brown bonnet, wherein a fully loaded cone or cup is upended and then dipped into a vat of melted chocolate that instantly hardens, forming a crisp shell.
Caffe Italia(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Caffe Italia, Deer Park: Michael Costigliola, the Italian-born owner of Caffe Italia doesn't understand the American penchant for gelato "with crazy stuff in it." After all, what could be better than vanilla with real vanilla beans, coffee with freshly pulled espresso, strawberry with fresh strawberries, pistachio with nuts from Sicily? Bending to popular demand, he does make an Oreo gelato, but his heart is in the simple, elegant flavors that remind him of Italy. Try a big scoop of gelato sandwiched inside a split brioche bun.
Leonetti Pastry Shop(Credit: Marisol Diaz)
Leonetti Pastry Shop, Greenvale: Saverio and Stella Leonetti used to make gelato back in Bari, Italy. Here, on Long Island, they continue the family tradition at this Greenvale bakery. The gelato here is creamy and clean tasting, made frequently to ensure freshness. There are usually around 20 flavors on offer -- among them, excellent hazelnut, pistachio, coffee and chocolate -- plus a number of fruit sorbetti. Enjoy your scoop of choice at one of the little tables, and pretend you're in Italy.
Herrell's Ice Cream(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Herrell's Ice Cream, Huntington: Herrell's makes a range of ice creams flavored with malt -- malted vanilla, malted chocolate, malted banana, triple malt -- and the refined malted sundae highlights its distinctive nutty-yeasty flavor. Two scoops of ice cream are drizzled with warm homemade penuche sauce (made with brown sugar and butter), then topped with nuts, crushed cookies or candies, whipped cream and a cherry.
Hope's Land of Candy(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Hope's Land of Candy, Island Park: At this nostalgia-themed candy store-soda fountain, you can step back in time with the forgotten confections such as a 19th-century milkshake (pictured), in which milk and syrup are shaken with ice and a few drops of acid phosphate (harmless!) to give it fizz and bite.
Hildebrandt's(Credit: Newsday/ Rebecca Cooney)
Hildebrandt's, Williston Park: This 88-year-old institution has introduced something new for 2015: sundae shots. Hildebrandt's will fill a 2-ounce shot glass with your choice of ice cream and sauce, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles or nuts. The initial idea, said Hildebrandt's co-owner Bryan Acosta, was to appeal to the I'm-too-stuffed-for-a-full-sized-sundae customers, but he says he's also winning admirers among another demographic, the I-can't-decide-so-give-me-five-little-sundaes crowd.
Snowflake(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Snowflake, Riverhead: Snowflake's sundae flavors follow the North Fork's fruit harvest. The summer starts with strawberries and ends with peaches. Try either fresh-fruit topping with your favorite flavor ice cream from the list of classics or the flavor-of-the-week, or be a seasonal-fruit purist: strawberry ice cream with strawberry sauce, peach with peach.
Wolfies Frozen Custard(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Wolfies Frozen Custard, Northport: Frozen custard is softer than ice cream, not as dense as gelato. It's simultaneously creamy and refreshing, and Wolfies is one of the only Long Island shops that makes it.
Itgen's(Credit: Newsday / Ken Spencer)
Itgen's, Valley Stream: Itgen's serves what many consider to be Long Island's best hot fudge. It's deep, dark and not too sweet, and, as is proper for hot fudge, it solidifies upon contact with ice cream. Purists will get this sundae with vanilla ice cream; chocoholics choose chocolate. No matter the flavor, wet nuts are a fitting adornment.
Gooseberry Grove(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Gooseberry Grove, Oyster Bay: In 2016, owner Bob Liebold remodeled the Oyster Bay institution and introduced some fancy coffees, but the soul of Gooseberry Grove is and will always be ice cream. Dozens of homemade flavors include chocolate-bacon (chocolate ice cream studded with chocolate-covered bacon) and the legendary Matt's frappe: Kahlúa-flavored vanilla ice cream inundated with chunks of Heath bar and frozen brownie batter.
Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour, Massapequa: Krisch's classic ice cream recipes, such as toasted almond and coconut, have hardly changed in 60 years. The chocolate is sweet, straightforward and kid-friendly; newer flavors include pralines and cream, peanut butter cup, Fluffer Nutter (marshmallow and peanut butter) and chocolate-covered strawberry.
International Delight Cafe(Credit: Jin Lee)
International Delight Cafe, Bellmore: The confection here falls somewhere between ice cream and gelato. Like gelato, there's very little air whipped into it, but most of the flavors have a fat content (12 percent or more) that put them in the ice-cream category. An avowed chocoholic, owner Toni Rollandi makes a dozen-odd chocolate flavors, including Dolomite (an Italianized rocky road) and gianduia, a bittersweet blend of chocolate and hazelnut -- think grown-up Nutella. Other location in Rockville Centre.
Coyle's(Credit: Nicole Horton)
Coyle's Homemade Ice Cream, Bay Shore and Islip: Marty Coyle does not hail from the keep-it-simple school of ice-cream making. To wit, his bestselling flavor (and personal favorite) is chocolate raspberry truffle, whose demure name belies its elaborate composition: chocolate ice cream blended with raspberry sauce, then laced with more raspberry sauce and punctuated with chocolate chunks. The waffle bowl sundae (pictured) is severed in the bowl-shaped equivalent of a waffle cone.
Star Confectionery(Credit: Doug Young)
Star Confectionery, Riverhead: This landmark ice-cream parlor and luncheonette has been in the Meras family since 1920. The ice cream is made either by third-generation owner Anthony Meras or his father (also Anthony), who makes his own chocolate flavoring base with Hershey's cocoa powder. The result is clean and chocolaty, with a caramel undertone.
Northport Sweet Shop(Credit: Newsday / Joan Reminick)
Northport Sweet Shop, Northport: In business since before World War II, this luncheonette's homemade ice cream is crafted into all sorts of old-fashioned concoctions such as milk frosts (a milkshake garnished with a scoop of ice cream) and French ice cream sodas (topped with fresh whipped cream). Also: a unique lemon custard and a sundae with divine hot fudge (pictured).
Sant Ambroeus(Credit: Doug Young)
Sant Ambroeus, Southampton: The Southampton outpost of the venerable Manhattan ristorante-pasticceria (itself spawned by the original restaurant-bakery in Milan), Sant Ambroeus is the East End's gelato central. The coffee flavor is done with house-brewed espresso, and fresh banana goes into the banana gelato. Also recommended: tangy passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon, and the lush chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla.
Hicksville Sweet Shop(Credit: Jessica Earnshaw)
Hicksville Sweet Shop, Hicksville: The unassuming shop is a throwback to that pre-Baskin-Robbins era, when luncheonettes made their own ice cream, sauces and syrups as well as candies and molded chocolates. A sweet highlight is the chocolate ice cream, made from a rich chocolate base intensified by their own cocoa flavoring.
Baci Gelato(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Baci Gelato, Williston Park: Baci's wares come in about 100 flavors -- with two dozen or so available on any given day -- and include classic Italian gelato varieties, such as fior di latte (milk flavor), stracciatella (chocolate chip) and espresso, and American innovations such as banana split and cookies and cream. The store's most popular flavor is bacio, a chocolate-hazelnut base with bits of hazelnut.
McNulty's Ice Cream Parlor(Credit: John Dunn)
McNulty's Ice Cream Parlor, Miller Place: Opened in 1991, the shop's signature flavors include vanilla peanut butter, mint chunk, cherry vanilla, butter pecan, raspberry truffle and "moose tracks." A favorite: The Sandpail Sundae, that comes complete with shovel and rake, and a cherry on top.
Five Pennies Creamery(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Five Pennies Creamery, Rockville Centre: Opened in 2010, Five Pennies looks to the past with egg creams (made with Fox's U-Bet and seltzer from old-fashioned siphons), soft-serve Coney Island custard and Italian fruit ices that are used, in turn, to create the store's signature Cyclone (after the roller coaster), in which the custard and ices are layered in a symphony of delectably cold sweetness.

Cysticercosis is an infection by a parasite called Taenia solium (T. solium). It is a pork tapeworm that creates cysts in different areas in the body.
Cysticercosis is caused by swallowing eggs from T. solium, which are found in contaminated food. You can also become infected if you have the adult T. solium, in your system then swallow the eggs if you have not properly washed your hands after a bowel movement. You can get the condition if you eat pork, fruits, and vegetables contaminated with T. solium which have not been well cooked or cleaned. The disease can also be spread by contact with infected feces.
The disease is rare in the United States. It is common in many developing countries.
Most often, the worms stay in muscles and do not cause symptoms.
Symptoms that do occur depend on where the infection is found in the body:
Tests that may be done include:
Treatment may involve:
If the cyst is in the eye or brain, steroids should be started a few days before other medicines. This is to avoid problems caused by swelling during antiparasitic treatment. Not all patients benefit from antiparasitic treatment.
Sometimes surgery may be needed to remove the infected area.
The outlook good, unless the lesion has caused blindness, heart failure, or brain damage. These are rare complications.
If you have any symptoms of cysticercosis, contact your health care provider.
Avoid unclean foods, do not eat uncooked foods while traveling, and always wash fruits and vegetables well.

June 28, 1972
Tucson, AZ US
Tucson Community Center
includes: Drone ~ Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Since I've Been Loving You, Stairway to Heaven, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Dazed and Confused (incl. The Crunge), What Is and What Should Never Be, Dancing Days, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love (medley incl. Let That Boy Boogie, Let's Have a Party, Stuck On You, Hello Mary Lou, Going Down Slow), Rock and Roll.
Dazed crowd bows to Zep's blasting, crashing revelry
6/29/1972 | Tucson AZ Daily Citizen
Amazing. In three days the Community Center Arena has been the site of two of the most outstanding rock concerts ever to hit this town.
First Jethro Tull, now led Zeppelin. Zeppelin has its own Seven Blocks of Granite sitting at the foot of the stage for protection. The crowd crushes that far and no further. This, is because, among other things, the group is a whole hour late in starting. But finally on they come. Jimmy Page and his rock-em guitar, Robert Plant and his shrill telephone wire voice. John "Bonzo" Bonham and his bludgeoning drums and John Paul Jones, bass man with a dash of electric piano. All in Levi bells, nothing especially flashy. But oh you kid, who hid the lid?
For openers: "Immigrant Song," "Heartbreaker," "Black Dog" (and one of rock's more cryptic beats), "Since You Been Lovin' Me," "Stairway to Heaven'.' — is there no end? — "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," a newly arranged "Dazed and Confused" complete with Page playing guitar break with, a violin bow, "What Is and What-Should Never Be," "Moby Dick" featuring a pretty mediocre drum break,, "Whole Lotta Love" and an olio of rock n' rollers, including Elvis "Stuck on You" and (unreal) Rick Nelson's "Mary Lou."
So much for statistics. These guys are the No, 1 proponents of simple, landmine; hard-as-knuckles rock, and the loudest. Impossible-to hear without plugged ears, in parts. And, as usual, the only real wrench ijn the works is the long guitar soloing, one in almost every, song. Page is brilliant, granted, but after a while, migrainous.
Plant, who jumps around and flings back his head like a groupie that doesn't quite know what's happening, at one point-sits with Page and Jones and they do a hoedown-ish number. Page, in "Whole Lotta Love," Inserts a piece of 'I'm Not talkin', a song from his old band, the Yardbirds. In "Heartbreaker," he slips in "Bourre," which Tull did Monday night, only Page has a bigger audience: 9,000.
'Now a friend of mine meets me after the show and sums it up: ""Yeah, I liked it, but I shouldn't." Why? "Because it goes against everything I like about music. I shouldn't have dug that stuff at all, but I did."

The pot smoke was thick. The band was awesome. Jimmy did the violin bow thing like I had seen in Phx 2 years earliier. Bonham did a great drum solo on Moby Dick.

TUPELO – Old Venice Pizza Co. in Tupelo has a new owner.
Bruce Patel, who owns Fusion Hospitality, announced Tuesday that his company has bought the Italian eatery on McCullough Boulevard.
A Fusion representative said the company plans to keep the restaurant's current 50 employees and its menu. But changes are coming in the way of remodeling.
Patel plans to add an enclosed patio and to increase the dining area. He'll also add more comfortable seating and will update the bar and the interior. The renovations are slated to be finished by the end of the year.
He said the restaurant will remain open during renovations because the work can be contained.
Old Venice also will offer off-site dining. Patel in a press release said full-service catering will be available and he expects to begin delivering to select local hotels before the end of the year.
Along with Old Venice, Fusion Hospitality owns and operates three hotels in Tupelo, including the new Best Western Plus on North Gloster Street, as well as properties in Fulton, Olive Branch and West Point. Fusion also has three hotels under construction in Tupelo: The Holiday Inn and Candlewood Suites on South Gloster Street and the Comfort Inn on McCullough Boulevard.
Fusion Hospitality also operates a number of Tutti Frutti franchises in north and south Mississippi, including two existing locations in Tupelo and one scheduled to open on West Main Street in the coming months.
Old Venice Pizza Co. was founded in Oxford in 1997. The Tupelo franchise opened more than three years ago.

text: Migration Info This is one of the latest U.S. arrivals in spring, and is also one of the first to leave; some individuals spend less than a month in the breeding territory. This is possible because of the extremely rapid development of the young: The entire breeding cycle, from egg laying to fledging of young, may be completed in as little as 17 days. Eastern populations reach the New England states in late May or early June, while western birds at the same latitudes may arrive two weeks later. This species has been nearly extirpated in California due to loss of riparian breeding habitat.

About Rodney Warner
I am a 30 something composer / multi-instrumentalist / producer / mixer based out of sunny Los Angeles California. Growing up in upstate New York, I took to music very young. I started playing piano and soon after found a love for the guitar. Shortly after learning guitar, I put together my first "home recording studio" including a Kurzweil K2000, a 4 track tape recorder, a microphone, and a hardware sequencer that synced to one track of the 4 track.
20 years later I now write and record music in a much more sophisticated studio on a daily basis for personal love, film and TV, remixes, sample libraries and other various projects. I am also an ardent student in the black arts of mixing and mastering so I put a lot of effort into making sure everything I produce is to a high standard
Music For Media
If you are looking for someone to write for your media project, need help with mixing, would love your track remixed, or really any other musical production task please feel free to contact me here. I am very driven, easy to get along with, and feel that music is god.
Be well and thanks! - Rodney Warner
