This Summer, Keep Obagi Between You and the Sun With Obagi Nu-Derm® Sun Shield SPF 50!
06.14.2012, 17:02 CDT | Posted In: Lines & Wrinkles, Prevention & Protection, Uneven Skin Tone & Dark Spots, Skin Care
By now, you've all heard about the effects of the sun on your skin and the importance of protection (especially if you've been following our blog!). In fact, sun damage accumulates over the years and can result in uneven pigmentation, sagging skin, wrinkles, and even skin cancer.1 But it's also very preventable. With proper precautions and using the right skin care products, you can enjoy the sun without the burn!
There are many things you can do to protect yourself and your skin from the sun. Of course, sunscreen is a must! It may take a few more minutes to slather on the SPF before you go out, but sunscreen is one of the most effective ways to help protect against the sun's damaging rays. Make sure you look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which means it helps protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays━such as the Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50! But this fan favorite is NOT just any other sunscreen. While many sunscreens can leave your skin feeling greasy after application, our broad-spectrum Nu-Derm Sun Shield goes on completely sheer in an elegant, matte finish that feels great on your skin. In fact, SELF Magazine voted it the best sunscreen for the face thanks to its nongreasy formula and sheer coverage━perfect for application during the sweltering heat of summer!
But that's not all that Obagi has to offer for lifelong protection from the sun. Sure, Nu-Derm Sun Shield is one of our favorites, but we also understand that certain skin types have different skin care needs or require extra care. From oily skin to sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea, we have products that cater to your concerns. You can help keep your skin feeling fresh and, most importantly, protected all year long with our other sunscreens, including Nu-Derm Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35, Rosaclear® Skin Balancing Sun Protection SPF 30,* or our Nu-Derm Physical UV Block SPF 32 with 18.5% zinc oxide.
With so many different sunscreens to choose from, which is your favorite? Comment below to share which ones and what you like about them!

Some questions for the "activists" aboard the Gaza flotilla.
By Christopher Hitchens
"The tale of the Gaza "flotilla" seems set to become a regular summer feature, bobbing along happily on the inside pages with an occasional update. A nice sidebar for reporters covering the Greek debt crisis: a built-in mild tension of "will they, won't they?"; a cast of not very colorful characters but one we almost begin to feel we know personally. Such cheery and breezy slogans—"The Audacity of Hope" and "Free Gaza"—and such an easy storyline that it practically writes itself."
Read More (Slate)
Christopher Hitchens (1949 - 2011) was an Anglo-American author and journalist. His books made him a prominent public intellectual and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He was a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry and a variety of other media outlets. He was named one of the world's "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect.

Grilled Cheese
Say cheese! We recommend, review, and eat a lot of cheese.
Photograph from Only Alice on Flickr
No, not that kind of grilled cheese. We're talking about cheese that can be cooked directly on a grill. Of course, you wouldn't want to try this with just any cheese. Tossing a wheel of Brie on the barbecue might be a fun party trick, but grilling up slices of halloumi, a fresh, white cheese from Cyprus, is real summer magic.
Traditionally made from the mixed milks of goat and sheep, halloumi is somewhat of a cross between the flavor of feta and the texture of mozzarella, although it differs from the latter, and of course from most other cheeses, in that it doesn't melt when cooked. You may have come across halloumi in the Greek dish saganaki, a flashy appetizer in which the cheese is fried or broiled, doused in ouzo and set aflame. Molyvos, near Carnegie Hall in New York City, serves a classic version of the dish, bright in flavor and refreshingly simple. And Michael Psilakis, chef-owner of the rustic Greek spot Kefi on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, takes the idea a little further, using the cheese as a textural accompaniment in his grilled hangar steak entrée.
Halloumi's ability to stand up to heat without melting also makes it great for the barbecue. Cut the cheese into slices 1/4 inch thick, and brush it with olive oil. Place on a medium-hot grill, and cook two minutes per side, or until it is golden brown. Drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Clearly there are many variations on this theme. Are there any spots near you that do something interesting with this versatile cheese?

CSIs Anthony Carson, Rick Toot and Rosalinda Curb: The Agency's Mission in Action
Humane handling—it sounds simple enough, it rolls off the tongue and is a popular topic in the news and social media. What you may not know is that behind the scenes, there are boots on the ground and dedicated personnel, hard at work every day to transform "humane handling" from a catch phrase to a reality. Beyond the words are the actions of FSIS personnel who inspect all livestock before and at slaughter to ensure that they are treated humanely.
In addition to their food safety tasks, many FSIS in-plant personnel, including Public Health Veterinarians (PHVs), Consumer Safety Inspectors (CSIs) and Food Inspectors (FIs), work together to verify that livestock are treated humanely, but CSIs are primarily responsible for conducting non-slaughter inspection activities. These offline activities are key to ensuring compliance with food safety and humane handling regulatory requirements and include reviewing records, observing plant operations and conducting hands-on verification and enforcement activities.
The following FSIS team members are just a few of the exemplary people working in the field every day to protect public health and ensure the humane treatment of animals presented for slaughter.
Anthony Carson, a CSI in the Dallas district (Amarillo circuit), contributes greatly to enforcing humane handling policy at the cull cattle plant where he works.
As the oldest son of a small-town veterinarian, Carson has worked with cattle for as long as he can remember. Carson's father has been the greatest influence in his life and his career. "Dad gave me that love of animal husbandry, instilled in me a strong work ethic and showed me the importance of constant self improvement."
After gaining hands-on experience in the clinic and on farms with his father, he obtained an associate's degree in Animal Science and a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Services and Development. After college, he worked for a large swine operation in Dalhart, Texas, and as the manager of the cattle hospital program at a cattle feedlot in Hartley, Texas. Carson was drawn to FSIS when, in 1998, his father joined the agency as a Public Health Veterinarian at a beef plant in Childress, Texas.
"I was attracted to the benefits, especially the ability to take annual leave," says Carson. "Trying to take more than 2 days off in a cattle feedlot is harder than getting blood from a rock." Carson's father is now working as a Field Veterinary Medical Officer with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and Carson continues to bring knowledge, skills and professionalism to his job at FSIS. "I like knowing that I'm part of a large team with the goal of protecting public health. I also know that my role as a CSI means that I am the point of contact in my plant for all the work of the agency."
Carson says that he and his supervisor, PHV Dr. Mary Hayes, have been very successful in conveying the agency's humane handling standards to the establishment. "The reason for this success is communication," Carson says. "We have good open communication with the establishment management, and they are not afraid to discuss any issue with us. We work together and have the same goal—that consumers receive a safe, wholesome product produced in a humane manner."
Rick Toot, a CSI in the Denver district (Billings, Mont., circuit), currently works a four-plant patrol assignment between Butte and Anaconda, Mont., including establishment 2439 in Butte, which slaughters cull dairy cows, fat cattle, beef cows, bulls, swine, sheep, goats, elk and bison.
Toot began his 35-year career with FSIS at age 20 and has served in Oregon, Washington and Montana. "An older co-worker liked to tell everyone that I was so young when I started that my mother had to drive me to work," says Toot.
Although Toot lives and works in a somewhat remote location, that has not prevented him from staying on the cutting edge of food safety and humane handling. "I wanted to stay in the field and live in a rural community to raise my kids and have a few head of livestock of my own," Toot says. "Over time, I saw many of our inspectors fail to keep up with new policies and technology. I was always determined to remain relevant, so to speak, and be willing to adapt to new guidance and technology that is constantly evolving."
The slaughter establishment that Toot inspects has new management, and he has been instrumental in implementing humane handling-related suspensions at the establishment and educating the new management. As a result, Toot says, "They have responded very well to the requirements of the humane handling regulations and have taken the responsibility to address issues before we need to step in."
With his supervisor, PHV Dr. Robert Getzelman, and FI Leonard Mingneau, Toot monitors the welfare and treatment of every single animal that enters the slaughter establishment. Getzelman appreciates Toot's commitment to the mission. "Rick does a tremendous job every day and is one of the finest inspectors that I have had the privilege of working with during my 10 years in the agency," Getzelman says. "His experience, knowledge, and dedication have been great assets to me and other team members. He is especially adept and competent in dealing with humane handling issues." Toot's compassion is evident in his dedication to his job and in his words. "It is my personal opinion," he says, "that the livestock we inspect are entitled to an ethical, humane and respectful passing into their final service to man."
|"All of their attention to humane handling is vital to our public health mission."
FSIS Administrator Al Almanza
Rosalinda Curb, a CSI in the Alameda district (Hanford, Calif., circuit), is very observant and conscientious regarding the care and handling of the cattle at an establishment that slaughters predominately cull dairy cows, in addition to beef and range cattle.
Before working for FSIS, Curb worked for a chicken slaughter plant. She was attracted to FSIS by the promise of "job security and a workplace where women are equal to men." Curb says that Drs. Phyllis Adams, Thomas Hou, Richard Henley, William Ribeiro, Edward Klebanow and Barbara Peterson were most influential in her
career "because these are some of the hardest working Inspectors-in-Charge. I had the pleasure of working with and learning from them." As a CSI at a livestock slaughter establishment, Curb makes sure that the establishment follows its Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures and complies with humane handling regulations. Curb says that since the agency has focused on improving enforcement of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, "I notice that we are more aware of how the animal is being treated. There is more communication with plant management about humane handling."
Administrator Al Almanza is proud to call Carson, Toot and Curb, his colleagues. "All of their attention to humane handling is vital to our public health mission," says Almanza. "The agency is fortunate to have such committed and inspired people who are making a difference to food safety and animal health every day."

Lovely owls! We really are sweater twins, mine is knit in Rowan British breeds as well. Two seasons of biking through Chicago winter. It's held up well.
- January 17, 2012
The sweater looks fantastic and I love the button story...it makes it that more special. Looking at your blocking kit I was wondering if you could use those colorful blocks that you can use on the floor for babies...the surface is textured and maybe that would not work. Just curious.

it turned out beautiful. i love the buttons you chose. they are just right. i have been lucky enough to find two button tins at flea markets. i also have my mothers which i can remember was my treat for when i was sick. she would bring her button tin to my bed, a needle, and some strong thread and i would sort buttons stringing any that were alike together. when i get it out now and see those little groups it always brings back sweet memories.

I am very jealous of your soaking tub and blocking supplies. It sure beats my bathroom sink and futon combo. ;) If I actually start finishing some projects I may copy you.
The buttons looks perfect!
- January 18, 2012
That is really excellent! I love your decision on the buttons.
- January 18, 2012
- Sam I Am...... said...
I like your choice of just the 2 buttons and in the off-white color and then to have special meaning to them is so sweet.
I had my knitting class yesterday and was so excited to tell my instructor (my friends daughter..so young!) about your owl sweater and SURPRISE...she's already made it! She's amazing like you...just started knitting 1-2 years ago...pretty much self-taught through the internet and she's knitted more than I could in a lifetime already!
You "youngsters" are so talented and you FINISH things! What a novel idea! LOL!

"Barry? Dave here. I just saw Sue on a talk show saying the attack was some kind of mob action over an amateur movie. (Pause). You did get the intelligence brief that it was a terrorist attack, right? Ok then."
Now a show of hands: How many think a phone call like this undoubtedly took place? Of course it did. CIA Director David Petraeus said they knew almost immediately the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was a coordinated terrorist effort. And that is exactly what they reported. Yet UN Ambassador Susan Rice told a completely different story… over and over again. If Rice is to be believed - and there is no reason not to - she was simply relaying the information given to her. So an unnamed third party falsified the intelligence report. Which report do you think the president got: The original or the falsified brief? Of course he got the real deal, and he got it right away.
If you have a problem with Susan Rice, "Then you have a problem with me," warned Obama. But there really should be no problem at all with Rice, a scholar and seasoned diplomat. One that has been duped. An unwitting pawn. A mule, blindly carrying contraband slipped into her pocket by some stranger. Nope, not a worry in the world about Rice.
But there's definitely a big problem here. From conflicting timeline reports on the events to news omissions and suspicious scrubbings by the US media, and incredibly, to the illicit affair and subsequent resignation of the director, this is a story that, by all rights, should continuously occupy page one. Navy SEALs working for the CIA. A covert CIA mission to intercept heavy weapons stolen from Libyan arsenals. Doublespeak and dodges from our State Department about multiple pleas by our consulate personnel for additional security. A six-figure book deal for General Petraeus' biographer. A known security protocol breech by the CIA director allowed to continue through a national election. The list of intrigue is as long as it is fascinating.
Yet it is exhausting work trying to piece the story together. Parts of it exist in multiple places, a scrap of intel here, a startling fact there, but the account is riddled with gaps. Many important questions remain to be answered.
Were orders given to deny requests for additional security? Why? Who gave the order? Was our consulate at Benghazi acting as a 'diplomatic front,' providing cover for a CIA mission? Who edited and falsified the intelligence report? Who authorized the continued use of the movie alibi? Was this done to cover up a resurging al-Qaida threat? Was it done for political purposes? Who delayed and withheld the resignation of Director Petraeus until after the election? Was it done for political advantage? Why is a demand for the truth characterized as 'politicizing' this tragic event?
"Then you have a problem with me." Yes, Mr. President, until you answer forthrightly and tell the American people exactly what happened before, during and after the attack at Benghazi, there is definitely a big problem.

Family House Diaries: Living life to the fullest despite complications from diabetes
For 54 of his 58 years, Jack Newmann of Cary, N.C. has lived with Type I diabetes and its consequences, but he hasn't stopped living.
Written by Elizabeth Swaringen for the UNC Medical Center News Office
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – For 54 of his 58 years, Jack Newmann has lived with Type I diabetes and its consequences, but he hasn't stopped living.
"If I can feel the floor on the bottom of my feet when I get out of bed in the morning, then I go to the window to see if the sun is shining," said Newmann, who has been legally blind since 1990 and currently is being treated at UNC Hospitals for a foot wound that will not heal.
"And then I read what's posted on the side of my dresser: 'Live every day as if it's your last – some day it will be'," said the ever-upbeat Newmann, a former counselor of juvenile delinquents and a retired rehabilitation counselor for the blind. "It is what it is, and if you can't laugh about it, what are you going to do?"
Since early December, Newmann of Cary has spent weekday mornings in the hyperbaric chamber at the Wound Healing and Podiatry Clinic of the UNC Center for Heart & Vascular Care in hopes of saving his right foot, broken in two places during a routine martial arts class in August. At the time of the injury, Newmann received immediate medical attention, but the foot wasn't healing and became ulcerated.
"Then, we find out there was no pulse in my foot, so I had bypass surgery to increase the blood flow," said Newmann, raising his pants' leg to reveal a barely visible, nicely healed scar from ankle to knee. "We're hopeful the hyperbaric chamber treatment adds even more oxygen to the blood and speeds healing. I'm making progress, but it's not fast enough for me."
The treatment involves Newmann lying on a gurney inside a clear tubular chamber where the pressure is slowly adjusted until it mimics the atmosphere at 40- to 45-feet below sea level. During the "descent" and corresponding "ascent," Newmann is constantly swallowing and yawning – much as one would with airplane take-offs and landings – to keep ear pain at bay. He usually listens to news as a distraction during the two-hour procedure. He gets a routine assessment and progress report once a week.
"Results of randomized studies support the use of hyperbaric therapy as an adjunct to standard care to improve healing in complex diabetic and other high-risk wounds where limbs could be lost if the wounds don't heal," said William A. Marston, M.D., the leader of Newmann's health care team, director of the Wound Healing and Podiatry Clinic and professor of surgery in the Department of Surgery at the UNC School of Medicine. "We are trying to give Jack every opportunity we can to heal."
The laborious treatment usually involves between 30 and 50 sessions in the chamber, and patient commitment is essential for any hope of success, Dr. Marston said. "Jack is very dedicated to his treatment and is doing everything right. He's prompt for his treatment, changes his dressings appropriately and uses the pressure off-loading orthodic device to take as much pressure off his foot when he has to be on it. He's giving himself every chance to heal."
Although Newmann lives in Cary with his daughter Kaycee, her husband Louie and their three children – Kaitrinn, 9, Shealyn, 6, and Gavin, 3 – he can't drive himself to and from Chapel Hill for treatment because of his failing eyesight, nor can his family get him back and forth daily with ease or convenience.
Enter SECU Family House, a 40-bedroom hospital hospitality house minutes from UNC Hospitals that provides comfortable, convenient and affordable housing for adult patients undergoing treatment for critical illness and trauma and their family member caregivers. Kaycee drops her father off on Monday mornings and picks him up after treatment on Fridays. Newmann rides the shuttle to and from the hospital. A few times he's ridden Chapel Hill's free public transportation when he's missed the shuttle.
"Riding the bus requires a little more walking on my part, but I have my cane and I do fine," Newmann said. "Before I hurt my foot, I walked as much as 10 miles at a time and I lifted weights. I am concerned that I'm losing muscle tone."
Newmann readily and gratefully acknowledges that Family House staff made an exception to its policy that guests must live beyond a 50-mile radius of Chapel Hill to stay there. And he shows that gratitude by trying to help fellow SECU Family House guests.
"It is a life-altering event," said Newmann, referring to both the treatment and being away from his family during the week.
"But it's life-altering too for all the patients and families who travel here for surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or whatever medical attention they need.
"And we are like one big family at SECU Family House. There is incredible camaraderie between guests and staff and all the volunteers. There's always someone to talk to if you need it. Yes, I talk and joke a lot, but I can sense when someone doesn't want or need that. What you give, is what you get.
"From my work as a counselor, I'm a good listener and often times hear things that people can't hear themselves say," Newmann said, just as his cell phone rang with a call from a fellow guest asking if he had time to talk. "It's not my place to tell them what to do, but I can offer some options for how they might resolve whatever issue it is they are dealing with."
As much as he is enjoying his stay at SECU Family House, Newmann can hardly wait to return home.
"I'm known as a patient person, whether I was counseling patients or just talking with friends and family," Newmann said. "But when it comes to me, I get impatient. I want to just keep going, living each day to the fullest."

What happens when I see evidence of the rumblings and origins of the Earth? Seeing an erupting volcano makes me question my understanding of this planet and my life, as I know it. The volcano is evidence of forces still active on this Earth and a reminder of continual changes. The calm summer days of Santa Cruz are a memory as I witness the drama of steam pushing its way out of random crevices, dark clouds forming over the top, huge moon-like craters. My life is short in comparison and I stand in awe. I am able to observe a movement of time and see the physical turmoil of the earth. We humans continue to alter our planet to suit our needs and are shocked when eruptions erupt and earthquakes quake.
Maybe this is why the breathing helps. It brings me back to my natural rhythm, allowing me to become calm, to erupt, or to quake. After all, we are a part of the earth and can learn a few lessons from the surprises that it continues to give. Krishnamurti asks us to observe the whole movement of time and relate this to the movement of thought. He says that thought and time are not two different things. Neither ever ends.

July 24, 2013 + Love is a Holy State of the Soul
St. Maximus the Confessor, First Century on Love
1. Love is a holy state of the soul, disposing it to value knowledge of God above all created things. We cannot attain lasting possession of such love while we are still attached to anything worldly.
2. Dispassion engenders love, hope in God engenders dispassion, and patience and forbearance engender hope in God; these in turn are the product of complete self-control, which itself springs from fear of God. Fear of God is the result of faith in God.
3. If you have faith in the Lord you will fear punishment, and this fear will lead you to control the passions. Once you control the passions you will accept affliction patiently, and through such acceptance you will acquire hope in God. Hope in God separates the intellect from every worldly attachment, and when the intellect is detached in this way it will acquire love for God.
4. The person who loves God values knowledge of God more than anything created by God, and pursues such knowledge ardently and ceaselessly.
Martyrs and Passion-Bearers Boris and Gleb
Righteous passion-bearers and true fulfillers of the Gospel of Christ, chaste Boris and guileless Gleb, you did not resist the attacks of your brother, the enemy, when he killed your bodies but could not touch your souls. Therefore, let the evil lover of power mourn while you rejoice with the angels standing before the Holy Trinity. Pray that those who honor your memory may be pleasing to God, and that all Orthodox Christians may be saved.
Kontakion, Tone 3
Today your most glorious memory shines forth, noble participants in the passion of Christ, holy Boris and Gleb, for you call us together to sing praises to Christ our God! Praying to Him before your sacred images, we receive the gift of healing by your prayers, for you are indeed divine healers.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian troops backed by fighter jets stormed the camp of an armed Filipino group on Tuesday, trying to end a standoff on Borneo island after violence that killed at least 27 people and sparked fears of broader insecurity in the resource-rich region.
Jets bombed the area in Malaysia's eastern Sabah state for more than 30 minutes before hundreds of ground troops moved in to search for about 200 Filipinos believed to be hiding near a coastal palm-oil plantation, Malaysian officials said.
The outcome of the operation remained unclear more than 11 hours after it began. Malaysian officials said their forces suffered no casualties but they gave no details on the fate of the Filipinos, whose allies based in Manila claimed they had survived and were still resisting.
The government-run New Straits Times newspaper reported explosions at a site 30 km (19 miles) away from the main standoff.
After telling reporters earlier the operation had been successful, police said it was still going on and that gunmen could still be at large.
"The government has to take the right action in order to preserve the pride and sovereignty of this country," Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a statement announcing the assault.
The group is demanding recognition and an increased payment from Malaysia for their claim as the rightful owners of Sabah, part of Borneo island and which the sultanate leased to British colonialists in the 19th century.
Malaysia has refused the demands and Manila has repeatedly told the group to put down its weapons and come home. But the violence has sparked a political crisis ahead of elections in both countries. Each government says it is investigating allegations of opposition involvement.
Najib, who faces a tough election within weeks, has come under pressure to take a firm stance against the group, which arrived by boat about three weeks ago claiming to be descendants of the southern Philippines' sultanate of Sulu.
The security headache could prompt him to delay the polls, which must be held by June, adding to nervousness among investors over what could be the country's closest ever election.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino has said he suspected his country's opposition backed the obscure group in an attempt to undermine him ahead of congressional elections in May.
The insecurity has disrupted operations in Sabah's huge palm oil industry. Prolonged trouble could dampen growing investor interest in energy and infrastructure projects in the state, although the main oil fields are far from the standoff.
Oil majors such as ConocoPhillips and Shell have poured in billions of dollars to develop oil and gas fields in Sabah. Chinese companies have been investing in hydro-power and coal mining.
The violence, which is occurring close to popular diving spots, could also hit tourism. The U.S. embassy in Malaysia issued a statement on Tuesday advising against travel to the affected area.
Two policemen were killed along with 12 militants when Malaysian security forces tried to tighten a cordon around the group on Friday. That sparked more violence over the weekend.
Aquino has come under pressure from opponents for supporting Malaysia's rejection of the group's claim to Sabah, which remains a dormant Philippine policy goal.
He in turn has suggested the political opposition encouraged the intrusion as a way of undermining a historic peace deal signed with Muslim rebels last year, calling it a "conspiracy".
Sulu is a Philippine island chain that lies between Sabah and the Philippines' Mindanao island. The sultan's family, the Kirams, are traditional rulers, with no formal political powers.
"The family of Sultan Jamalul Kiram could not possibly have settled on this course of action alone," Aquino said on Monday.
"All those who have wronged our country will be held accountable."
The Philippines has asked for a Philippine navy vessel to be allowed to provide humanitarian, medical and consular assistance and to take the armed group home.
For Malaysia, the crisis is complicated by the illegal immigration of Filipinos to Sabah, whose population has more than quadrupled since the early 1970s. The Philippine government says about 800,000 Filipinos now live there.
Sabah residents have been transfixed in recent weeks by a public inquiry into allegations that illegal immigrants were handed identity cards by the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in a citizenship-for-votes scheme.
Much of the population in the area affected by the violence has cultural and family links to the southern Philippines — an hour away by speedboat — raising doubts over their allegiance.
That could hinder efforts to capture the gunmen and make immigration an awkward issue for Najib. Voters in Sabah, traditionally a bastion for the UMNO-led National Front coalition, could swing the election to the opposition if it can build on recent gains there.
Three Malaysian palm oil refineries with a combined capacity of 1.8 million tonnes were running at reduced capacity and are preparing to halt operations if the violence drags on, refinery officials with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The refineries are owned by Singapore's Wilmar International and Malaysia's KL Kepong and Kwantas Corp. Sabah is Malaysia's top oil palm growing region, accounting for a quarter of national production.
Much of the palm oil from Sabah is shipped to China — the world's second-largest consumer of edible oils.

- For the encounter in the Trial of the Champion, see The Black Knight (tactics).
- For the item, see The Black Knight (sword).
The Black Knight can be found near the eastern end of the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown. He is involved in the neutral quest chain starting with [80] The Black Knight of Westfall? / [80] The Black Knight of Silverpine? and supposedly ending with [80] The Black Knight's Fall upon reaching the rank of Champion in the Argent Tournament. His mount is named Black Knight's Gryphon, but called the Black War Gryphon when riding it.
The Black Knight returned in patch 3.2.0 as the final boss of the 5-man instance the Trial of the Champion within the Crusaders' Coliseum.[1] In the quests [80] The Black Knight's Curse and [80] The Black Knight's Fate, it's revealed that the Cult of the Damned has resurrected the Black Knight into undeath.
He is slain by players upon the field of battle in broad daylight, by one brave hero and bested upon the field of battle before being brought to justice for his crimes.
- His naming, the naming of his relevant achievements, as well as elements of his encounter, are fairly obvious references to the character of the same name from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- He is statistically the most dangerous NPC in the game, in terms of having killed the most players.[citation needed]
Patch changes
- Hotfix (2009-04-21): "Players can no longer summon the Black Knight unless you are riding an Argent Warhorse."
- Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Added.

Mother speaks out about teen charged in daughter' s attack
The mother of a girl who claims to be the victim of a sexual assault earlier this year at Homestead High School said she wants to set the record straight after seeing an interview on Friday with the accused teen and his family.
Gregory Rounds, 17, has been charged with second-degree sexual assault. He is accused of asking a 14-year-old girl to perform a sex act in a car in the Homestead High School parking lot.
"He did not force her to do this, and I believe that it was consensual from previous encounters with this young lady that I had spoken to my nephew about," Sabrina Loving told 12 News on Friday.
The girl's mother, who 12 News is not identifying to protect the child, said at first she thought that Rounds was a nice kid who made a mistake. But the woman said she later checked out Rounds' Facebook page and Instagram account and saw photos of him getting a lap dance from one girl and grabbing the breast of another.
"He doesn't look innocent," she told 12 News. "He doesn't come across to me as a good kid. He's 17 years old. He doesn't have anything in common with a 14-year-old. He shouldn't have never even contacted my daughter on Facebook at school. She shouldn't know him. She shouldn't know his name. She's a freshman, and he's a junior."
Rounds did not speak during the interview with 12 News on Friday, but his aunt said the girl has repeatedly contacted him via text message and Facebook since the incident in January, wanting to see him again. The girl's mother admitted there was social media contact between the two.
"She said it was just innocent texting back and forth, but it was not about no sex or anything," the mother said. "I think she liked this boy and she did this just because she liked him... I don't think they're friends now."
The girl's mother said the event has turned her family upside down, and it's a long way from being over. She said her daughter is going to have to look for another school.
Rounds is scheduled to be in court later this month.

Comedian Robert Kelly Teaches Us How to Cheat Wisely [INTERVIEW]
Robert Kelly is one of those badass guys who's hysterically blunt while being completely sincere. Basically, he's one of the coolest dudes around. Kelly is a New York-based actor and comedian who recently penned a book with his buddies Joe DeRosa and Bill Burr, 'Cheat: A Man's Guide to Infidelity"– a hilarious take on how to cheat wisely.
He has racked up an impressive line of acting credits, including playing Louis CK's brother on 'Louie' and a guest spot on 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent'. His comedic background also includes his own 'Comedy Central Presents' and a spot on HBO's 'Tourgasm' with Dane Cook.
We recently talked with this former "rockstar cheater" about his new book, navigating infidelity, and grandma's "cookie."
'Cheat– A Man's Guide to Infidelity.' Where did this whole concept start?
This whole thing came from a short film that me, Bill Burr and Joe DeRosa wrote and produced ourselves called 'Cheat'. I walk around with the funniest people on the planet. Joe was trying to cheat on his girl who was out of town that he wanted to be with back in the day. He came over, and we were giving him tips on what to do. We were like, "this is a movie". Somebody approached us and asked, "do you think you could write a book out of that?" 240 pages later, we came up with this book off the movie that we made.
The book really does have smart strategies, even though it's very blunt and funny. Was there any sincerity or honesty writing it?
We wanted to write a very funny, honest book. On this topic, you could take yourself too seriously. But if you had too much fun with it, if you went the way of stats and cartoons, it wouldn't have been taken serious enough. I think we were like "let's just balls up do this and make it as funny as possible".
It's hysterical, and it strikes a perfect balance between being funny and having actual strategies.
Look– if you don't laugh at this book, I don't know if I want to know you. I just don't know if you're a good person in your soul.
In the book, you call yourself a "rockstar cheater." What does this entail?
I used to be. The one main thing about this book is we're not telling you TO cheat, and we're not telling you to be this guy. But if you're going to, don't ruin your life. Try to do these things we tell you do to. You will get caught eventually at some point, but we teach you how to deal with it. It all started with me. I met the girl of my dreams…18 or something like that. Two years in, things got stale.
That was the first girl who cheated on you?
That was the first one, not the only one. Girls cheat, and you'll never know. I think it's worse when girls cheat. They cheat because there's something there, which is worse.
That's the big difference between men and women?
I'd rather walk in on my wife having sex with another man than actually holding hands, soft kissing with a man. After she cheated on me, it took a long time for me to get where I am now. I'm happily married!
So you regret nothing?
No, I don't regret anything because all the stuff I've done, I've had to do it to get where I am today. Without the failures and success and everything in between, I might not be where I am today. There is a point when you're just done [with cheating]. But in the middle, why not have a story? It's so hard to cheat on someone now because of technology.
The texting, the internet, everything.
If a girl wanted to send you a photo of her cookie 30 or 40 years ago, she would have to sketch it. My grandmother would've had to have an oil painting done of her cookie.
For grandpa.
Right! Now it's just like girls go to the bathroom in the office, take a picture, and it's on your phone.
Do you think all guys can become rockstar cheaters at some point? Or they have that inner drive to dabble elsewhere?
No way. I don't think all guys, because not all guys are cheating for the same purpose. Some guys are addicts– they have to have that high. Some are accidental tourists who went to Vegas one night.The rockstar cheater is the guy who just knows he's a piece of crap.
You're not endorsing cheating, but say you're talking to a first-time cheater. Is there one piece of advice you want to give him?
I want him to swallow the guilt. Just accept it. The guilt will get you caught. You get nervous, you do stupid stuff, and women have instincts like witches. My wife will come home and know what I had for lunch.
We're crazy like that.
Yeah! So number one, you have to deal with the guilt, and then you have to find out why you're doing this.
Before writing this book, you started off as a comedian and made your way into acting. You're still doing comedy, so what still drives you to get on stage doing standup after all this time?
You just can't not do it, I guess. I love acting. We just got done shooting my own pilot for FX.
So do you like acting or standup better?
I can't not do standup. Once it's in you, it's in you. Doesn't matter how much money you have or how famous you are. You just have to do it.
You play Louis CK's brother on 'Louie.' How is it working with another comedian?
Working with Louie was probably one of the best acting experience I've had. He takes away all the Hollywood horse crap. There's no makeup, no wardrobe. You just show up and do the scene. Once you get it, that's it.
Where can we see you perform soon and pick up your book?
You can get the book at CheataMansGuide.com and watch the movie that we made. You can also get it off RobertKellyLive.com. On the October 16th, we're doing a live comedy show, show the movie, do a Q&A, and then sell the book. That's at the Village Underground in NYC. Go to Laughstub.com for tickets.

There has been phenomenal growth in the home spa and hot tub industry. Millions of homeowners are discovering the health benefits of home spas and the industry has produced many manufacturing innovations that make home spas and hot tubs more affordable, more portable and easier to install. But, you already know that and that's why you're here.
Hot Tubs and Home Spas is your one-stop information resource for homeowners thinking about investing in a home spa, hot tub, sauna, Jacuzzi® tub, swim spa or related products. Hot tubs from 10-years ago are now considered dated, especially with the technological advances of spa jets and the knowledge that hydrotherapy can help diseases like arthritis and type-2 diabetes. Spas are also purported to help with weight loss and the eradication of cellulite.
New trends in hot tubs and home spas include: spa ozonators, better chemicals and filtration, aromatherapy fragrances and many new hot tub manufacturers and brands to make the existing manufacturers work harder to earn your business.
The biggest luxury trends this year are hot tub entertainment systems, spa TVs and DVD combinations, plus fiber optic hot tub lighting and LED lighting for a complete hydrotherapy mind and body experience.
Hot Tubs and Home Spas includes information on the most common types of spa products, plus a wide range of shopping tips to make sure you make the best investment possible. For example, the hot tub's jets are one of the most important things to consider as well as the seating configuration when choosing your spa.
Do you know what you need to get the maximum benefit for you and your family for the minimal cost? It's covered in here along with answers to many consumer questions. In fact, if you have questions that aren't answered here contact HotTubsandHomeSpas.com and we'll answer it for you. Or, if you'd like to provide an original review of hot tub and home spa related products, we'd be happy to add it and give you the credit.
Information contained in this site has been provided by industry associations and independent experts. We provide useful links to the world's leading suppliers of home spas, hot tubs, Jacuzzi® jetted baths and other products.
Your new home spa or hot tub will certainly become one of the favorite areas of your home and a good soak after a long day will become one of your most eagerly anticipated activities! Also, check out our brief section about saunas. Hot tubs and saunas go hand-in-hand.
We hope you enjoy our site as you dip your toes into the exciting world of hot tubs and spas!

We left her with her dead lamb in the paddock overnight. It sounds macabre but we were hoping to find a orphan this morning for her to foster, and we needed to keep up the maternal bond. The closest spare day-old lamb was in the next county, about half an hour away. It was a small triplet ram, which would do better if it didn't have two siblings to compete with. Perfect.
By the time I got back with the foster lamb, Mike and our local shepherd had carried out the grizzly task of removing the dead lamb's hide, and we fit it over the foster lamb. The extra layer is making the lamb walk stiff-legged and I expect it's heavy on its tiny body. L845 accepted it with very little encouragement on our part. In fact she looked relieved. The foster lamb suckled right away, no questions asked. They're penned together and it's going as well as we could have hoped, for now anyway.
Foster lamb in its 'cloaking device'
As the foster lamb is accepted, I can cut away part of its extra coat every day, starting with the tail end, then the flanks, and finally the rest can go. Then I need to worry about fly strike again. A lamb in a carrion suit must be irresistible to flies.
Even though lambing is finished now, I'll still have night checks to do: making sure mum and adopted lamb are bonding, and ensuring that Matilda is coping on her own as a member of the flock. I put her in the paddock yesterday and she's playing happily with the other lambs.
I gained a lot of experience lambing this year. Fingers crossed that I don't have to put it into practice again next year. Now I'm off to pursue more genteel activities: taking Quincy for a walk to collect this year's sweet chestnut harvest. Skinning a chestnut is much less traumatic.

Dealer Zone Codes
Enter the Zone, Dealer Code, or information you are searching for and click 'search'.
If you do not have any idea where the car was sold originally, but DO have the zone and dealer numbers, then this should help you narrow the search somewhat. Keep in mind that some zones covered a very large geographical area while others were quite small.
Have some codes to share? Great, add them HERE.
About 'Zone' and Dealer Codes:
These were listed on the window sticker and build sheet and denoted the area and dealer that the car was destined to be delivered to. Finding this info on your classic will determine where your vehicle was originally sold.
If you have an original window sticker, this info should be on the sticker...probably near the upper left below or beside the dealer's address. The number is written, usually, as a five digit #...the first two are the Zone # and the remaining three are the dealer #. and of course it's on the build sheet too.
A note about the window sticker, it sits right below the "Chevrolet Motor Division General Motors Corporation" print (at least for 1970) and was written as 27-208.
Canadian cars may list the number as a unit: 81900 - this would be zone 81 dealer 900 (from GM production sheet). Canadian cars can be decoded by GM's Vintage Vehicle Services.
Thanks to all the TC members for getting this going.
Esp, Mike Crown for the idea & Stan Falenski for his comprehensive zone list.

The Greatest Pop Groups & Artists of All Time
List Rules Upvote your favorite pop groups, bands, singers and artists
Update: Follow Ranker's official New Pop 2020 playlist on Spotify!
For years, pop music has dominated your radio dial. No matter where you listen, there's no doubt that pop music bands and pop music artists have had a major impact in shaping music. Even as the faces and stylings of what exactly is pop music has changed, the one thing that remains constant is that pop music has endured. Starting with doo-wop and early rock and roll and eventually becoming more hip hop and R&B-driven, the only thing that links pop music artists to each other is the power and reach of their best songs.
So, who should be at the top of the pop music artists list? Any pop music artists list should have, at minimum, Madonna and Michael Jackson at or near the top. Both of these amazing pop music artists have managed to endure over the years, with their material, even multiple decades after initially released, are still being played on radio today. On this list of pop music, the artists, bands, or pop duos who are on here should be easily recognizable faces whose songs are ones that you'd know if you heard them. Pop music artists are a rare breed and is a broad term, so please vote accordingly.
What are the greatest pop music bands? Whether you think it should be current pop artists or classics, that's up to you to decide on this list of pop music artists. However, when determining who should be considered the best pop music artists, you shouldn't be voting on popular pop music bands. This should only take into account the quality of their songs. This list answers the questions "who are the best pop music bands of all time?" and "who is the greatest pop music musician ever?" If you notice a pop group or pop artist missing, feel free to add them to this poll. It's up to you to decide who is the best pop musician of all time, so choose wisely.

Caroline Franke (Severn) matched a career high of 13 saves to anchor the defense as host No. 13 Princeton defeated No. 6 Penn State, 14-8, at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.
Offensively, Sam Ellis had a career game with four goals and two assists. Erin McMunn (Winters Mill) also had a six-point game with three goals and three assists. Jaci Gassaway (Severna Park) reached a milestone, scoring her 100th career goal.
The Tigers (10-5) started with a 4-0 run, of which Ellis had two. Princeton would never relinquish the lead and led by as many as six goals. The Nittany Lions (11-5) could get within only two. Penn State's scoring leaders each had three points: Kelly Lechner (three goals) and Maggie McCormick (one goal, two assists).
Second-seeded Princeton will face third-seeded Dartmouth in Friday's Ivy League semifinal at 4 p.m.
No. 4 Northwestern 15, No. 18 Penn 8: The host Wildcats (15-2) opened and closed the game on 3-0 runs and beat the Ivy League champion Quakers (9-5).
Erin Fitzgerald scored a game-high four goals and Kelly Rich added three for Northwestern, which scored the most goals since a 16-3 decision over Harvard on March 16.
After taking a 6-3 lead into halftime, Northwestern led by as many as six goals after opening the second half on a 4-1 run. But Penn, which entered the game having won nine of its past 10 outings, hung tough and eventually pulled to within three with 13:26 to play.
Northwestern next faces the winner of No.6 Penn State/Vanderbilt on Thursday in Friday's American Lacrosse Conference semifinal at 4:30 p.m. in Baltimore.
No. 9 Stony Brook 17, Binghamton 6: Behind a seven-goal performance from Demmianne Cook, the host Seawolves (14-2, 6-0) claimed their first America East regular-season title.
No. 10 Notre Dame 14, Marquette 5: Betsy Mastropieri scored four goals, Jenny Granger had five points (one goal, four assists) and Jamie Morrison had a hat trick to power the host Fighting Irish past the Golden Eagles (2-15).
Marquette, in its first season of lacrosse, trailed 3-1 after 20 minutes. Notre Dame's speed and depth took over from there during a 6-0 run with two goals by Morrison.
No. 19 Stanford 14, California 13: Rachel Ozer scored the game-winner with eight seconds left as the Cardinal (11-5, 6-2 Mountain Pacific Federation Sports) beat the host Bruins (9-6, 6-2).
Stanford led for most of the first half until California used a 5-0 run to close out the half with a 9-7 advantage. Kim Anna (River Hill) finished with a game-high four goals for the Cardinal.
Salisbury 16, St. Mary's 4: Lauren Feusahrens had a game-high five goals and the host Sea Gulls (17-0) took another step to their 11th conference title.

If it works as advertised, the Kindle Fire will give the iPad its first serious competition. Which means consumers are going to have to make a choice: Do they want Amazon's cloud, or Apple's?
Because both companies are now offering something very similar, but not very compatible: Lightweight media consumption devices*, where the consumers will be expected to store the bulk of their media on someone else's server.
Apple is moving quickly toward this model, with its new iTunes in the Cloud service, which will let you access music, TV shows and eventually movies you've purchased on any Apple machine with a Web connection. And the Kindle Fire will be there from the get-go — the device will only offer eight gigs of storage, which means it will just about require users to pull stuff down from the cloud.**
It will probably be possible, depending on DRM restrictions, to store media on multiple clouds. But clearly both companies are trying to create an environment that effectively locks you into their players, their devices, and their storage systems. Once you've moved, say, your music collection to Apple's cloud, or Amazon's, will you want to keep updating two content libraries?
So what about the Web? Won't that let users skate around the lock-in?
In theory, both the iPad and the Fire will let users watch, read, or listen to whatever they want, via their browsers (and unlike the iPad, the Fire will support Adobe's Flash). But both machines are geared toward apps and discrete chunks of media that you've bought at their stores.
I went back and forth on this with several of the Amazon executives at the Fire launch event today — yes, it's possible to import media and apps that you bought somewhere else, like a rival Android app store, they said. But they don't think most people will behave that way. And while you could theoretically watch Netflix streaming movies via the browser, the company thinks you're going to end up using an Amazon-approved Netflix app instead.
Here's a representative conversation I had with Kindle content boss Russ Grandinetti. (Note to media companies like Time Warner — see his answer about retail pricing.)
*Some of you will make the argument that the iPad is a work device, too. That's fine, but my gut — and some polling — suggests that most people are using their iPads to watch, listen and play. Meanwhile, Amazon barely pretends that the Fire will be used for any other purpose.
** Google wants to go this way too, but while the Kindle Fire is built on Android, make no mistake, this is Amazon's platform. If Google wants to get consumers storing media on its clouds, its going to have to come up with a credible tablet of its own.

Five minutes before first pitch at 7:05 at Busch Stadium last night, all was well. We were sitting in the bleachers with our father and our fiancee, scorebook and four pens in hand, watching David Eckstein toss pop-ups with a kid who had won some contest. It was hot, but it had been hot all week, everywhere. The sky was perfect blue; "severe clear," as they call it in aviation.
Remember when the spaceships attack the cities in Independence Day? When everything's fine, and then all of a sudden the black-green clouds converge, and everything is dark and still? That's what it was like at Busch Stadium last night. A friend sent us a text message, tongue-in-cheek: "Beware the clouds of death!" The grounds crew brought the tarp on the field, though it wasn't raining yet. We grabbed a beer and started chatting with the lady who sold it to us. We looked on, curiously, as the American flag waved one direction, then whipped back dramatically in the other.
And then: WHAM. Within literally a matter of seconds, the place exploded. The beer tent we were standing under imploded, sending — no! — beer flying everywhere and people scattering in all directions. A television camera fell from just above us. Everyone ducked for cover; one guy ran around with his daughter, screaming that she had a bad heart, though he seemed a lot more scared than she did. We think we even heard Joe Buck cry. It was absolutely surreal: A beautiful baseball day, attacked by aliens within seconds. A satellite dish went flying off the roof of a building across the street. Heck, we even lost our hat.
Then it was over. We ended up not staying for the game — we had to make sure our family house was standing — and as we drove back to Illinois, we saw a turned-over tractor trailer lying on top of a Jetta. Then, this morning, we scrambled around to find someplace to bring you some knowledge this morning. (Thanks to Rick Chandler for getting us started today.) We currently in a dark room with a hamster running on a wheel to keep power, with two Dixie cups and a string serving as "Internet." We can receive email today but cannot send it out ... so we're not being rude, we're just a little shellshocked.
Game 1: 15-3 Braves. Game 2: 14-5 Braves. Game 3: Fire from the sky, raining down. The new Busch Stadium rules!

Editor's note: The woman featured in this story died Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, from injuries sustained when an Israeli tank shell hit her apartment in July. Deema Kaloob lost both her legs as a result of the explosion and was being treated at a hospital in Jordan. Her 4-year-old son, Ibrahim Kaloob, was killed instantly.
ROCKFORD — Since July, two men have watched from Rockford asviolence flared 6,000 miles away in the latest battle on a war-weary strip of disputed territory along the Mediterranean. Both were born there.
Adey Khader is a 26-year-old Palestinian graduate student studying business at Rockford University.
Roni Golan is a 54-year-old Israeli artist who runs a studio in downtown Rockford.
In July, Khader's 4-year-old cousin, Ibrahim Kaloob, was killed when an Israeli tank shell pounded through the walls of his family's apartment in Gaza. Ibrahim's mother, Deema, had been making breakfast. Ibrahim was standing beside her in the kitchen and was killed instantly. Deema lost a leg.
"When I say he was 4 years old, I am lying," Khader said of Ibrahim, who was born and died during periods of increased hostility between Israel and Palestine.
"He was three wars old."
Golan lived in Israel until he was 36 and served in the Israeli military from 1978 to 1981, three years of relative peace. His two daughters also served. Yasmin, who is 27, lives in Rockford with her husband and children, and Maya, who is 25, is studying at a university in Israel.
"She has to duck 15 times a day," Golan said of Maya, referring to sporadic missile fire from Hamas militants.
More than 1,900 Palestinians and 67 Israelis have died since fighting began when three Israeli boys were found murdered June 30. The body of a kidnapped Palestinian boy who had burned to death was found three days later.
On Sunday, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed to a new 72-hour cease-fire that began one minute after midnight on Monday. By Wednesday, Egyptian-mediated truce talks had resumed.
But long-standing property disputes, blockades and religious tension, motivated by fear and exacerbated by proximity, have built a wall between the two peoples. The two sides both lay claim to an area of land roughly the size of Massachusetts.
"I hope that it will hold," Khader said of the cease-fire.
Close quarters
All together, Israel and the Palestine territories comprise an area of about 10,000 square miles populated by nearly 12 million people. The 4 million Palestinians are split between two geographic areas — the West Bank, governed by the Palestine Liberation Organization, also known as PLO, and the Gaza Strip, ruled by the Islamic Resistance Movement, referred to by its Arabic acronym, Hamas. Nearly 8 million Israelis live in a continuous stretch of land between the West Bank and Gaza.
Polarized peoples
Emily McKee is an assistant professor of anthropology at Northern Illinois University. Since 2004 she has conducted research in both Israel and the West Bank and wrote her dissertation on land conflicts and social divisions within Israel.
Travel restrictions have kept her out of Gaza since 2004, McKee said.
Political sentiment within Israel has been trending further to the right in recent years, and there has been a troubling increase in the level of polarization between Israelis and Palestinians, as well as among Israelis, McKee said.
"There are reports of backlash (in Israel) for speaking out against this war," McKee said.
It used to be that Israelis and Palestinians would regularly cross into one another's territory to go shopping or run errands, but that kind of daily interaction is less common now, she said.
War's shadow
"There's 2 kilometers (around the perimeter) in Gaza where it's an empty area, and then you start with buildings," Khader said, and the buildings are so densely populated that "If you shoot a small gun, you will kill somebody."
Khader studied software engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza City from 2005 to 2012. He said that life in Gaza is complicated. The area's approximately 1.8 million residents, Khader said, are caught between two forces: Israeli airstrikes and tanks from outside Gaza, and Hamas secret police from within.
"Walking in the street during the wartime, you look into the children's eyes and you see the sadness, you see the fear," Khader said. "It's a fear factory in Gaza."
Khader flipped through pictures on his phone of dead children and dead friends, one of them a journalist, covered in dust and rubble in the streets of Gaza City.
"I don't feel human when I see these pictures," he said.
"You can't create Israel on children's blood. You can't let Israel stand on children's blood. It's not fair for Israeli people because their face in the war will not be beautiful. It is not (fair) for the Palestinian children because they have the right to live like all other children."
Golan also expressed disgust over the bloodshed in Gaza. Israelis and Palestinians have been at odds for so long that they have forgotten how to empathize with one another, he said.
Israelis lash out because they fear for survival, a fear that has its roots in the Holocaust and was thickened through years of hostile treatment from surrounding nations, he said. Israelis feel cornered, he said.
On the other hand, Palestinians fight out of fear they will lose their land, honor and culture, and they are surrounded as well, he said.
"So, in the psyche, people are stuck in these modes," Golan said. "One out of fear, maybe, and the other out of feeling (dispossessed)."
Many Israelis believe Hamas shields itself behind women, children and civilians and is therefore responsible for the civilian deaths when Israel responds to violent provocation. Many also believe that Hamas uses the deaths of children as propaganda against Israel and deliberately causes them by stashing and firing weapons from places like schools.
To describe the mindset of the Israeli government and military, Golan quoted Golda Meir, a Ukrainian-born Zionist who grew up in Milwaukee and would eventually be Israel's prime minister from 1969 to 1974: "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."
Khader said that one of the reasons he came to the United States to study was because he does not agree with Hamas.
"Hamas using Gaza to hide weapons is not acceptable," Khader said. "But that does not give the Israeli army a right to attack."
The situation is beyond our ability to solve with political negotiations, sanctions or laws, Golan said.
"It has to be in our ability to feel (empathize)," he said, that peace can be achieved.
Both Khader and Golan expressed a longing for peace and a permanent end to what has become a perpetual war.
Khader said that over decades of conflict, both sides are guilty of committing atrocities. It is time to look at the fighting as a human issue, he said, not as a political one.
"Anytime that someone doesn't die, it's great," Golan said of the cease-fire. "But are we pushing the problem under the carpet until it gets bigger?"
He hopes that negotiations will not be limited to the most recent conflict, and that a permanent solution will soon emerge.

Malaysia continues its Islamic-inspired campaign to cleanse its corner of Dar al Islam of GLBTs - at least the Muslim GLBTs.
Technically, it's illegal for men to go out in public in women's clothing in Malaysia. 'Reforming' wayward gays and crossdressers is state policy in Malaysia, and is a policy that will be condemned by no Muslim, and not be condemned by any so-called Gay Rights groups.
KELANTAN'S famous transvestite dikir barat singer Hafiz Jeffri (pic) appeared at the Syariah High Court dressed in men's attire and a kopiah.
Berita Harian reported that Hafiz, who is also known as Kajol, was hauled up by religious authorities and charged at the Syariah Court with dressing in women's clothing and having feminine mannerisms.
After Hafiz testified that he had repented, Syariah High Court judge Abu Bakar Abdullah Kutty set aside the one-month prison sentence that had been handed down earlier by the Syariah Lower Court.
The judge, however, maintained the RM1,000 (USD 300) fine that had been imposed by the lower court.
Met outside the court, Hafiz said he would try to change his ways as well as reduce his dikir barat performances.
Islam and freedom of expression do not mix.
