Police: Wife shot husband after argument
A South Strabane Township woman accused of shooting her husband multiple times in the abdomen and chest Tuesday night had resided in the township less than a week after moving to Pennsylvania from Texas.
Latasha Stapp, a resident of 3008 Clubhouse Circle in the Stone Creek plan along Route 19, was charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure and four counts of reckless endangerment in the shooting of 27-year-old Tyler Stapp. Detective Ken Torboli said he was taken to UPMC-Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was undergoing surgery Wednesday and was listed in critical condition.
Sgt. Drew Hilk said Latasha Stapp had moved here just Saturday. Her husband had lived here since June, working with explosives in the gas-drilling industry, Torboli said. He said Latasha Stapp had lived in Ohio and Oklahoma before moving here from Texas.
The couple's two children, ages 5 and 7, were in the apartment when the shots were fired.
"The officers did a good job getting there quickly and making sure the kids were safe and secure," Torboli said. "The family lived in a two-bedroom, one-floor apartment, so they lived in close quarters."
The children were placed in the custody of Washington County Children and Youth Services and were in temporary foster care until arrangements could be made to release them to family members.
Torboli said the couple apparently had an argument in their bedroom prior to the shooting.
Police were called about 8:45 p.m. after the 911 center received multiple calls of shots being fired and a man outside a neighbor's house saying that he had been shot by his wife.
Hilk and Officers Seth Kelley, Timothy Gray and Chad Brogley arrived and saw a woman matching the description of the alleged shooter, later identified as Latasha Stapp, standing in the middle of the street, crying and talking on a cellphone. Police ordered her to get on the ground and took her into custody.
Police entered the neighbor's apartment and found a large amount of blood drops that led to a bedroom where they found Tyler Stapp wearing a T-shirt that was soaked with blood from the chest down.
Latasha Stapp reportedly told Hilk that she shot her husband inside the apartment and again outside the apartment. Police found a spent shell casing near the front door of the Stapps' apartment, as well as blood on the floor and on the bed in the couple's bedroom, where another spent shell casing was found. Several guns were in the bedroom closet.
Police found a 9 mm handgun in the bushes outside the apartment building, where Latasha Stapp reportedly had told investigators she had thrown the weapon. Torboli said the gun may be owned by Tyler Stapp.
Latasha Stapp was arraigned before District Judge Jay Weller and placed in the Washington County jail on $250,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for March 25 before Weller.
This is the second shooting in the housing plan with a connection to the gas-drilling industry.
LoydRay Stanfeld of Clyde, Texas, was sentenced in 2010 to less than two years in jail for the Sept. 9, 2009, shooting of James Willis of Bowie, Texas, at the home the men shared on Shawnee Drive in Stone Creek. The men lived there while working on gas wells in the area.

Lawmakers, advocates introduce stun gun bill
MONTPELIER — A group of Vermont lawmakers and the heads of disability and civil rights groups are pushing legislation that would create new rules governing police use of electronic stun guns.
They held a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a bill that would set up statewide training and rules for law enforcement officers using Tasers and similar devices.
The effort follows the death last year of Macadam Mason, a Thetford man who died of a heart attack after a state trooper hit him with a Taser.
Attorney General William Sorrell and the Orange County state's attorney announced last month that Senior Trooper
David Shaffer was justified using the stun gun on Mason last June because the distraught man failed to comply with orders and made threatening movements toward the trooper.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Construction on the district heat project continues on two fronts this week, on... Full Story -

Published November 1, 2007. From Cook's Illustrated.
Our challenge in developing the best easy roast turkey breast recipe was to get moist, juicy meat and crisp skin. To do so, we had to determine the best roasting technique, with a high temperature to crisp the skin and a low temperature for moist meat. The optimal combination for our turkey breast recipe was to start the turkey breast in a 425-degree oven for the first half-hour of cooking and then reduce the heat to 325 degrees for the remaining hour.
This recipe works equally well with any type of turkey breast. We recommend brining (see procedure below) if using a natural turkey breast (no salt added). Using a kosher turkey breast (soaked in salt water during processing) or self- basting turkey breast (injected with salt and water) eliminates the need for brining. The ingredient list on the turkey breast's package will say whether it's been treated with salt. If brining the turkey, omit the salt from the recipe. If the breast has a pop-up timer, do not remove it. Just ignore it (they pop too late) and follow the times and temperatures in the recipe. A turkey breast doesn't yield much in the way of drippings, so a classic pan gravy recipe is not an option. Instead, try our All-Purpose Gravy. For the gravy and our oven-baked holiday stuffing recipes, see related recipes.
Dear Friend,

Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part Two
Science rejoices in the rational accessibility of the physical world and uses the laws of nature to explain particular occurrences in cosmic and terrestrial history, but it is unable of itself to offer any reason why these laws take the particular (anthropically fruitful) form that they do, or why we can discover them through mathematical insight.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Exploring Baby Galaxies with Charles Steidel
No one need ask: "Were you there?" Chuck Steidel has tapped into nature's own motion picture of past events, now showing in the present. Anyone who cares to view it can now see for himself what was and wasn't there, at various stages of the deep past.
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
The Questions Update: The Age of the Earth
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.

Those motorbikes are awesome. The Yamaha is a bit much, but the Suzuki G-Stryder is gorgeous. It's a pity that the more extreme looks you see in automobile concept pieces are so rarely passed on to the consumer market.
That Monotracer pod thing seems to have two secret extra wheels - you can see one of them in the picture above, mostly covered by a panel, just in front of the back wheel. You can see them extended a bit here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bxnjt on a different version.
Can't work out quite what the point of them is, though, unless it's to let you take EXTREMELY radical corners... Although then surely you'd have to get out to tip the bike upright again afterward... - said...

I think the small wheels on the Monotracer are for low speed and parking. The Ecomobile has the same concept. This video shows it in action:

About Cash Dividend Payout Ratio
Proportion of free cash flow (after preferred dividends) that is paid as dividends to common shareholders. If Microsoft generates 50 million in operating cash flow, has capital expenditures of 20 million, pays preferred dividends 10 million and pays common dividends 5 million, Microsoft has a cash dividend payout ratio of 25%. 5/(50-20-10)
Because net earnings can be manipulated and cash flows are harder to manipulate, this ratio is useful to analyze cash flow being paid in dividends. If this number is consistently high, or greater than 1, it indicates that the firm is paying more out in dividends than it is receiving in actual cash.

Love itPros: Simplicity Cons: All are lit but certain have the full brightness when back lit Other Thoughts: None Did you find this review helpful? |
K90 Solid gaming boardPros: -Solid build, feels quality and sturdy Cons: -I have zero prior macro recording experience with keyboards. The basics are super easy using utility software, but anything advanced is very tricky to work into macros. Other Thoughts: It's a great keyboard, fantastic upgrade over ANY non-mechanical. There are plenty of macro-keys for the taking; however, setting them up for any specific in-game control has been impossible for me (lack of info online & lack of prior experience). 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
MY first mechanical keyboardPros: -nice response Cons: -keys are a bit too soft for me Other Thoughts: This is my first mechanical keyboard so I didn't know about the soft/hard grading of the key pressures. I find that this key is a bit too soft for me. The keys are also "raised" up more than normal because of its low design, which takes getting used to. Overall, good keyboard, if a bit expensive. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Amazing!Pros: Great key response. You can play or type for hours with no fatigue. I use to play on an older keyboard and my knuckles would hurt after 4-5 hours straight of playing. The macros are easy to set up and switch around when playing different games. Cons: Not all keys are mechanical, but really, they are the least used keys ever. Other Thoughts: I love the blue back light of the keys. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
not bad but not perfectPros: Great overall keyboard, nice solid build, firm keys. Has good features like programmable keys, lighting options. Cons: very loud key clicks! I hate to ever touch this keyboard if I'm on the phone, and while voice chatting with fellow gamers this keyboard is so annoying every time I talk there's always loud key clicks in the background. Wish it was less expensive, then it'd be a real value. It also has a problem with spurious "F" keys being entered, even though I never touched the "F" key, they'll show up from time to time. Also has intermittent, very infrequent but annoying, problem of repeating keys. I will go to hit a key and then I get 5 of them, or 10 and I wasn't holding it down. Other Thoughts: not bad overall, but those "F" keys and sticking or repeating keys and the higher price keeps this from a 5 egg rating for me. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Like the feel of mechanical keys, should be sturdy Cons: bought on 3/07 and keyboard is not working correctly. Doesn't always type and delay in typing 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very NicePros: First let me say this is the nicest keyboard I've ever used. Its great design, and really like the feel of it. Programmed a ton of keys already, improved game play. Came in 2 days. Cons: The drivers for this was a bit hard to find, accidentally got the firmware instead of the driver so was stuck 20 minutes finding that. Little big, Makes a little bit of noise i don't mind it. Other Thoughts: Buy this keyboard if you interested in a very nice gaming one. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great KeyboardPros: I love the blue back-lighting. The keys feel great and there are a ton of macro keys. The entire board feels very solid and all the keys are mounted to a nice piece of aluminum. The USB port on the keyboard for your mouse is great if you have your tower a good distance from your monitors like I do. The braided USB cable coming from the keyboard is thick and sturdy and splits into 2 USB dongles to connect to the computer. I can type much faster and games are very responsive. You can also hit almost the entire keyboard at the same time (if you so needed) and it will register every key press. Cons: Not all of the keys are mechanical but the entire main keyboard and numpad and arrow keys are all mechanical which are all I use about 98% of the time. Other Thoughts: Only the mechanical keys are backlit with the blue lights. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
BOSSPros: Plugged up and worked right away. The lighting is great on this keyboard, the buttons are really responsive. In case you didnt know this keyboard isnt fully mechanical. All the "F" keys, the 9 keys by the number pad are not mechanical, and the dedicated keys are also not. Its built like a tank though. I really like the wheel for the volume control. Great buy. Cons: None 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Solid Keyboard...some problemsPros: This keyboard speaks for itself. Corsair makes quality products and this is no exception. The aircraft aluminum makes this keyboard super solid...no flex at all. The pros are heavily enumerated in other comments so I won't repeat them. Cons: So there are a couple things buyers need to beware of. Other Thoughts: This keyboard is still the best keyboard I have ever bought. And despite the linear switches, it is still a mechanical keyboard (it has increased my wpm and accuracy greatly). 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

His words are not very clear, but his actions are. Michael Garay wants to go back to school after being home for three days.
He spends a lot of the time next to his book bag, but Linda Garay said she doesn't have the manpower to get him from their home in Ozone Park to his specialized school in Westchester County.
"I don't know anybody that's willing to help me because of his behavior," she said.
Michael's behavioral issues were evident several times during our interview with his mother. She said he wears a harness on the school bus to keep him from acting out. She has been working the phones to try to find alternate transportation for him, but it hasn't been easy.
Access-a-Ride is transporting some students with disabilities, but not beyond the five boroughs. The city will reimburse her 55 cents per mile if she rents a car and the entire fare if she takes a cab.
One car service wanted $120 each way. But again, that's money she would have to pay out before being reimbursed.
After doing the math, Garay said those options are too expensive, so she's planning to keep Michael home again next week.
The city said it will work with Garay and other families in her situation to try to come up with a way to get their children to school. But for now, Garay said this is the best she can do. She's just hoping the strike doesn't last too much longer.

How much do you pay for wireless phone service? $100 a month? Maybe $200?
Brenda Barker, of Easley, used to pay $120 per month for one line. But after switching to a prepaid wireless service, she pays $39.95 plus tax.
"It feels good to have a little extra money," Barker told News 4's Tim Waller. "I pay one price and that's it."
Barker is one of a growing number of people who have made the switch to prepaid cellular service. With Page Plus Cellular, she gets unlimited calls and texts and 200 megabytes of data for less than half of what she paid with her Verizon Wireless contract plan.
But is the service reliable?
A little-known fact is the prepaid wireless services use the same cell towers as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Prepaid providers lease space on the big providers' 3G networks.
"The service is fantastic," Barker said. "And I don't have to pay $120 per month."
Patricia Chastain ditched AT&T and went with a prepaid plan from Net10. Her bill went from $220 per month for two lines to $100 per month, and that's for unlimited calls, texts and data.
"It's saved over $1,000 just this year alone," Chastain said.
While there are advantages to prepaid wireless plans, including the fact that there are no contracts or credit checks, there are certain disadvantages depending on which plan you choose.

Between February 2009 — just after the Operation Cast Lead onslaught — and August 2012, Israeli attacks in Gaza, averaging six per week. They came by aircraft, helicopter gunships, drones, and tanks throughout Gaza; the confiscation of, or damage to, fishing boats and the detention and arrest of fishermen; attacks on industrial, farm, and food production facilities; and military ground incursions.
The current crisis is framed in terms devoid of any real context. The issue goes far beyond which side precipitated the terrible violence that has killed innocents on both sides. The issue — largely forgotten — is one of continued occupation and blockade, a grossly asymmetrical conflict that has deliberately and systematically disabled Gaza's economy and people.
My sympathy goes out to the poor occupants of Gaza. Their leaders are totally focused on importing arms and installing rocket launchers in the midst of residential neigborhoods, instead of addressing the economy or welfare of the people of Gaza. The Israelis evacuated Gaza in 2005, leaving the Gazans to govern themselves. The Gazans voted for Hamas, a party which is only interested in war against Israel. Gazans have been fed a steady diet of war cries and hatred with tunnels to import missles but Hamas has installed no air raid sirens and no shelters, preferring to sacrifice innocents to the inevitable outcome of rocket launching.
If Gaza was left to govern itself, how come Israel still decides which boats enter its waters? whether vegetables can be exported? whether Gaza can build an airport? whether a Gazan can come to the United States for school or a medical procedure?
One can make the argument that some or all of these measures are reasonable given the conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians, but to suggest that the Gazans are free is like saying that the inmates of a prison would be free if the state withdrew the prison guards to the walls of the prison. Unless this reality is recognized, the discussion is meaningless.
Israel is the size of Vermont, but nearly receives the most U.S. financial aide of any country in the world. They treat some of their citizens unequally. They build walls around certain populations. They steal their land. And they are trying to starve the Gazans..Oh so familiar is this process: build a wall around people, and force them to starve. Think Lodz, Warsaw. I no longer wish to support Israel with my tax $$. If they are such an advanced civilization as Mitt Romney claimed, then they should be able to make it on their own. Can they is the question? I stand with the millions of fair-minded Jews here in the US and in the middle east...Desperate people do desperate things. http://alicerothchild.com/ Z
Yet ANOTHER clueless Israel hater, who can't be bothered to look into the history of Israel and the Palestinians since 1948. Who stared the 1967 war, the 1973 war? Who murdered 11 Israel athletes at Mucich in 1972? And who cheered and fired guns in CELEBRATION when America was attacked on 9/1/2001? The Palestinians, who also cheered when Hezbolla fired rockets at israel, and when Sadaam fired Scuds. ALL at Israeli civilians. Back in the 197o's Palestinians had JOBS in Israel. Then they sent SUICIDE BOMBERS. The Palestinans killed their Golden Goose.
How ironic it is that the Gaza ghetto, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, is the focus of US and Israeli disdain. The comment "rockets are fired from heavily populated areas"is nonsense. There are no open areas in Ghaza!
This is shameful treatment of human beings by a rightwing Israeli government and the US has looked the other way.
This comment has been removed.
As is always the case when ideology triumphs over reason the innocent suffer. Naturally there will be those who prefer to say this one started it or that one started it or this one is more guilty than the other. But to the child caught in the crossfire whether Israeli or Palestinian it really doesn't matter much who started what.
Ms. Roy writes an article on what amounts to selecive vision of man and many will find she has failed to pick out the appropriate villian. The fact is all of us are the villians. Who pressures the US to do something solid, tangible to correct the situation. Where are the Palestinian people pressing for an end to the nonsense, the Israeli's pressing for an end. In a world of ideology, zealotry we find masses of people force fed stupidity and slogans and false promises of heaven on all sides. The children, they are merely collateral damage.
Always we humans as political creatures look first to who is at fault and second to a solution. Forget the first and you might well find the latter. However with so much ideology, zealotry and belief in their own righteousness I don't see any breakthroughs in the near future. So children on both sides will die and both sides will pray to their god and know they are right and both will fail to see what is wrong right before their eyes.
…All reasons why Hamas should recognize Israel's rights to exist. It's really not all that complicated Ms. Roy. Recognize Israel. But Hamas just can't do it. How can they when they're entire platform is driven by their hatred and commitment to destroying Israel. There could be peace, but a stubborn Hamas won't take two simple steps. First, recognize Israel's right to exist -- a few words that would go a long way and two – and this requires no action at all -- stop firing rockets into Israel. I also notice that you failed to mention Egypt's blockade of Gaza. Was that just an accidental omission or is that Egypt's blockade is acceptable but not Israel's because, well, it's Israel. Obviously you're aware of Egypt's action so I'll go with the latter. I find it quite interesting that rarely is Egypt disparaged for their suppression or lack of assistance to an Arab brother, but Israel is incessantly disparaged for just defending itself against a malevolent terrorist group. In your next postulation try limiting the bias and using more neutrality.
I think, as Jeff Jacoby pointed out the other day in his op ed, when he referenced the Hamas charter: "Our struggle against the Jews is extremely wide-ranging and grave," avows the hate-drenched Hamas charter. Success will not come, declares Article 7, "until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!'". Perhaps Ms. Roy this is why Israel is, and rightfully so, so vigilant when it comes to securing their own borders and making certain that their self-identified sworn enemy, and radical, extremist faction, is kept in a most limited state.
Slaves will revolt. They always have…eventually. And then the masters will condemn them for doing so and punish them self-righteously. One can win the battle but lose the war. One can win a thousand battles and still lose the war. One can win the war…and still lose the war. Look at World War One. Because those that had the power to create a real peace in 1919 did not use that power wisely, another 60 million people had to die in World War Two. But there was no telling the Frenchman in 1919 that there could ever be peace with the Hun. This situation is as depressing as it gets. If Israel thinks going back to the 1967 borders is intolerable, wait till they see what the alternative is. And it will not be "peace in our time."
Sara Roy's opinion piece "Where's our humanity for Gaza?" is filled with
inaccuracies and is written from a one-sided perspective that ignores reality.
To frame the picture in a context that Ms. Roy might be able to understand,
Palestinians were firing hundreds of rockets into Israel, finally precipitating
eight days of Israeli retaliation; there were 140 Palestinian fatalities, an
unfortunate but extraordinarily low number for such a conflict, reported in
often-graphic detail by journalists and NGOs alike.
By contrast, there have been over 35,000 deaths in Syria's civil war, to which
these same self-proclaimed humanitarians pay little heed.
During the fighting Israel continued to supply electricity, food, water and other
assistance to Gaza's civilians in order to minimize their distress.
Contrary to the malicious accusations of Israel's critics, including the bogus
profanity of "genocide", the only disproportionate response in the recent
fighting was that of journalists, NGOs and politicians who consider any Israeli
military success inherently unfair.
May I remind Ms. Roy that Gaza is not "occupied" by anyone other than the Gazans themselves. Their misery is self-inflicted; the 7800 acres of agricultural land that
Israel abandoned when they left Gaza in 2005 were destroyed by the Arabs
within a week. As for the blockade, what sane country would open its borders unconditionally to a neighboring people who have proven in word and deed that
they mean to destroy it?
This author is well qualified to tell us of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It is hardly surprising that rockets would be fired when, from the other side, tanks and additional weaponry have invaded their land and destroyed their livelihoods and environment. Of course, they fight back in any way they can. As of now, the two state solution has not materialized.
The brutal Israeli occupation of Gaza created Hamas. What other response could Palestinians afford? Their population is being brutalized by the embargo of all of life's essentials. In what universe does a people embrace their occupiers? There will be no peace until Palestinians can achieve self-determination and freedom.

The humanity of Gaza is constantly punished by its own leadership. Israel has the right and responsibility of protecting itself and its citizens. When Hamas--and other Arab "leaders"--decide to accept Israel's right to exist in its own homeland, you can be sure that Gaza's economy and people will thrive. The refugees, in Gaza, in the Palestinian Authority territories and in Lebanon are the product of their handlers. Don't blame Israel.

Another "Israel's the bad guy" essay that adds nothing, no new ideas, no new insights, not even a fair and balanced analysis. Thanks for another waste of space. Remind me why I still pay for this rag.
It is not about our Humanity... That is the problem... Stop blaming us... It is their humanity, Their war, their people... Lay blame where it should go... Let's fix our own problems first... Those who want to stay violent it is their business, not ours...
A government (Hamas) that espouses hate, revenge and murder isn't paying much attention to the needs of its citizens. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Hamas welcomes Israeli retaliation because the deaths of Palestinians (especially women and children)generate sympathy for them and criticism of Israel.
If anyone is curious about the Charter of the elected government of Gaza, Hamas, here is a link to the Hamas Charter: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/www.thejerusalemfund.org/carryover/documents/charter.html Reading that Charter, would anyone believe that Hamas would ever truly negotiate a true peace with Israel, regardless of the economic cost, or the lives lost, of its own people?
The author writes "The Gaza Strip is now in its 46th year of occupation [...]" without telling us who she thinks is "occup[ying]" Gaza. If she mean that Hamas "occupies" Gaza, having first taken over by force of arms from the Palestinian Authority, and then run elections the fairness of which is at the very least questionable, she may have a point.
But if she implies that Israel still "occupies" Gaza, she hasn't noticed that Israel withdrew from Gaza several years ago -- a withdrawal followed by thousands of rockets raining on southern Israel.
More likely, the Globe's editors aren't paying enough attention at what they allow to appear in print. We expect more from them.

"Kitch" I would simply state this premise. We all understand what Hamas represents. I'm quite sure you can find zealots who will say they are the saviors of the Palestinians, but they are no more worth listening to than those who say Israel is blameless for its current situation or that the UN and the western powers did not lie to the Arabs in both wars. It is simple enough to blame or point out the faults, never mind faults, purely ludicrous positions taken by some Muslim Imam's and some Arab political leaders. But one can also easily find terrorism, bad policy, massacres in the Palestine camps during the wars, plenty of extremist acts by the Israeli's. But it serves no purpose. It does not lead to solutions nor peace.
The author of the article whether she is biased towards the Palestinians or not raises an important question. the UN, the US step into eastern Europe to impose a peace, they step into Libya to impose a peace, they try to step into varying African states to impose a peace, but where is the push to impose a peace upon the Middle East. Are we saying we are impotent? I don't think so. No what we are saying is we do not wish to impose a peace upon Israel. To frame a peace, to gurantee borders, to say an attack upon one or the other is an attack upon the US or that the US will treat any agressor with a rapid and violent response. Sixty years and the guarantee is unofficial. So the question is indeed where is our humanity?

Sara Roy is morally bankrupt so-called academic who is an apologist for the Hamas regime that violently took control of Gaza. The rulers of Hamas lack humanity as they have imposed an extremist Islamist program that persecutes women, gays and lesbians, and Arab Christians. How can I forget, Hamas also want to murder all of the Jews in the State of Israel and beyond. Where is the humanity of the Hamas regime? It does not exist. The Palestinians within Gaza can blame Hamas for bringing violence, pain and destruction to Gaza. The terrorist Palestinians in Hamas have chosen to utilize their ample resources (including very generous aid from Arab Countries and the EU) to wage a war against the Jews rather than to help educate, clothe, feed, and advance their own people. Sara Roy can sit in the comfort of her plush office at Harvard while she gives cover to the Hamas regime that grinds the Palestinians into a dead-end. Sara Roy is a typical armchair revolutionary. She has no skin in the game. What does she care if Palestinians suffer at the hands of their extremist leadership? Not one bit. What a hypocrite. In closing, Ms. Roy fails to note that Gaza is under the repressive occupation of Hamas. Israel evacuated Hamas many years ago and is now paying the price as the genocidal Islamists launch rockets at Israel from behind the cover of women and children.
Yes where is the humanity? To paraphrase Golda Meir, peace can only come when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate Israelis. Maybe oversimplification some might say, but there so much truth in her simple statement. When Hamas proclaims in its charter their aim to annihilate the Jewish pigs and when it teaches its children that Jews kill Palestinian children in order to drain their blood and use it for ritual purposes, where is the humanity? And by the way, does Roy have any admonishments for a culture and body politic that has resulted in 30,000 Arab deaths in Syria?

I applaud Ms. Roy for her insightful op-ed. It provides the Globe's readers with a healthy dose of reality. In so doing, Ms. Roy strikes a much needed blow against the Israeli matrix which the Israeli government, AIPAC, Israel-Firsters, Zionists and their supporters and the American Main Stream Media ("MSM") have long foisted upon the American public--a matrix of lies and deceptions designed to convince Americans that the I/P conflict is the opposite of objective reality, a place where everything is turned upside down, where right is wrong, and the aggressor the victim. Curiously, not a single person here who attacks Ms. Roy's position addresses the relevant facts presented in her piece. Rather, in an effort to prevent those facts from permeating the Iron Dome which protects and preserves Israeli matrix, they resort to ad hominem attacks and irrelevant arguments which in no way address, much less refute, the facts in Ms. Roy' piece. If one were to rely solely on the negative posts here and the American MSM, one would never even know the two most basic facts about the I/P conflict which must be recognized in order to have any hope of a reality-based discussion of the situation: that Israel is engaged in an expansive and brutal blockade of Gaza and in an illegal occupation of the West Bank. Like Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren stated a few days ago, the people attacking Ms. Roy's piece would have the world believe that the blockade's sole purpose is to prevent weapons from being smuggled into Gaza which would be used by Hamas in an undying quest to destroy Israel and that all the Palestinians in Gaza need do to end the blockade is to recognize Israel's right to exist. If that were the case, the blockade would be limited to weapons and not extend to many foodstuffs and the materials needed to rebuild the homes and economy which Israel has destroyed--both before and after the evacuation of Israeli settlers from Gaza. Nor would Israel have found it necessary to calculate the absolute minimum numbers of calories and nutrients needed for the Gazans to sustain their bodies' life functions and then tailor the blockade to insuring that that minimum not be exceeded. These same posters, like the vast majority of the MSM, cannot even bring themselves to use the factually accurate term "OCCUPATION" to describe the reality on the ground for Gazan's fellow Palestinians in the West Bank. Rather, they attempt to deny readers and other Americans of an indisputably critical piece of information against which all else (that is actually reported) must be read. Despite its dismal world ranking in terms of free press (Israel is ranked only 93rd in the world in terms of freedom of the press), one only has to read the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz or any of a number of other Israeli newspapers to discover Israel's relentless drive to expel the Palestinians from their land, its brutal treatment of the Palestinians, its denial of equal rights to Israeli Arabs, and its inhumane blockade of Gaza. Reading Israel's own newspapers one will see how Israelis themselves recognize the brutality of the Occupation (although most don't seem to care) and the serious erosion of fundamental rights within Israel itself. (One will also see the multitude of articles and editorials where Israelis themselves characterize Israel as barreling headlong towards fascism.) Once the brutality of the blockade and the existence of the Occupation is acknowledged, the falsity of virtually every attack on Ms. Roy's piece becomes much easier to see. First, is the claim that the Palestinians, especially Hamas, do not want peace with Israel. In fact, Israel has been offered peace in exchange for compliance with international law many times and repeatedly rejected it. For example, in the mid-1970s the PLO endorsed a comprehensive peace with Israel in exchange for a full withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza. Israel rejected it. In March 2002, the Arab League proposed not only peace but normal relations with Israel in exchange for an end to the Occupation and a "just solution" to the refugee problem. That offer was be re-extended on many occasions, every time rejected by Israel. Why all of these rejections? The whole world knows, except apparently the United States, that Israel has never wanted peace-NEVER-unless that peace gave them every inch of the West Bank. Although not reported in the American MSM and history books, this fact has been acknowledged repeatedly by Israel's leaders: David Ben-Gurion, Israel's founding father and first prime minister: --"We must expel the Arabs and take their places and if we have to use force to guarantee our own right to settle in those places--then we have force at our disposal" (1937) --"I support compulsory transfer. I do not see in it anything immoral…The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making that happen, such as war" (1937) --"I favor partition because when we become a strong power we will abolish partition and spread throughout Palestine." --"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. --"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves…we are the aggressors and they defend themselves." Menachem Begin, Israel's 6th Prime Minister: "The partition of the homeland is illegal. It will never be realized…It will not bind the Jewish people. Jerusalem was and will forever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it and forever" Ariel Sharon, Israeli Prime Minister from 2001-2006: "It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is no Zionism, colonization {sic} or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands" "Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours." And, in accordance with its leaders' statements, Israel's extremist government, which is equally (if not more) extreme than many radical Islamist governments, is gobbling up Palestinian land at a record pace with no apparent intention whatsoever of giving it up. Also repeated by some posters is the false assertion which has become a mantra within the Israeli Matrix, that the Palestinians refuse to accept Israel's right to exist. The truth: Over 20 years ago, the Palestinians joined the international consensus which calls for two states based on the 1967 borders, a shared Jerusalem and a just solution for the refugees. Fatah recognized Israel's' right to exist and renounced terrorism in 1988. Hamas has also announced its willingness to make peace with Israel along its internationally recognized borders. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh told both Newsweek and the Washington Post "if Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders, then we will establish a peace in stages." Other more minor statements made by the negative posters are equally lacking in validity such as the claim that Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with Hamas which allegedly is simply a "terrorist" organization bent on Israel's destruction. Aside from the fact the Palestinians, whether in Gaza or the West Bank, have the right to self defense, including violent resistance to an illegal occupation, the claim overlooks the fact that Israel was born in part on the terrorist acts of its founding fathers, acts of terrorism so brutal as to make the worst of Palestinian suicide bombing look like child's play. Many of these "terrorists" went on to be honored by Israel by being elected Prime Minister. Most enlightening is former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's statement, in speaking about the acts of terrorism committed by his own people when fighting to end the British occupation of Palestine: "Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat…First and foremost, terrorism is for us part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a greater part to play…in our war against the occupier [the British]". Another false assertion is that the Palestinians bring up their children to believe that their greatest goal is to kill Jews and eliminate Israel--just another reformulation of the claim that Palestinian children are taught in their schools to hate Jews. To address this oft-repeated claim, Congress commissioned the Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information to convene a team of professional educators. Their conclusion, stated in a 2003 report: "[The Palestinian] textbooks do not incite against Israel or against peace" and "the overall orientation is peaceful despite the harsh and violent realities on the ground…Religious and political tolerance is emphasized." Similar conclusions have been reached by the prestigious George Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, Hebrew University's Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace and the Palestinian-Israel Journal of Politics, Economics and Culture. Again, in the Israeli Matrix the truth is turned upside down. Outside the Matrix--in the real world--a study of 124 Israeli textbooks by a professor at Tel Aviv University concluded that "over the years, generations of Israeli Jews [have been] taught a negative and often delegitimizing view of Arab" and an "inferiority in comparison to Jews." And, in an article entitled "Learning all the wrong facts", Haaretz reporter Akiva Eldar cites numerous studies concluding that many Israeli textbooks not only dehumanize Arabs. But are entirely devoid of the word "Palestinian." Many educational materials often fail to distinguish Israel from the Palestinian territories with some official Israeli maps including Israeli settlements but exclude Palestinian towns, even those within Israel. The complete disdain and hatred of Palestinians is also supported outside the schools. For example, Rabbi Yovadia Yosef, one of Israel's top religious and spiritual leaders who Prime Minister Netanyahu consults with regularly and who receives a salary from the government, recently sermonized: "Goyim [non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel." "Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat." "With gentiles, it will be like any person - they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one's donkey would die, they'd lose their money. This is his servant... That's why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew." Yosef has also publicly espoused the belief that under Judaic law it is permissible to kill Palestinian children based solely on the belief that the child might someone grow up to harm a Jew". Ms. Roy's detractors also attempt to justify Israel's action vis-à-vis Gaza on the grounds that the most recent escalation of violence was allegedly precipitated by Hamas' escalation of rocket attacks on Israel. In a November 20 article posted on Mondoweis.com, the author asks the important question "How did the [last] cease fire unravel?", then goes on to set forth " the chain of events, which followed a 'lull' of sorts over the previous couple of weeks": · Nov. 4: Israel killed a mentally ill Palestinian walking near the Israeli-imposed "no-go zone" inside the Gaza Strip -- an event that triggered a rocket from Gaza into southern Israel, which did not cause any deaths or injuries. · Nov. 8: Four Israeli military tanks and a bulldozer entered Gaza, fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy who had been playing soccer by his family's house. · Nov. 10: In retaliation, two rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel, and an anti-tank missile injured four soldiers, when it hit an Israeli army jeep that had crossed over into the territory. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights reported the killing of five more Palestinians, four of whom were civilians – including two soccer players age 16 and 17 and two young men (18 and 19) who ran to the scene. Forty-nine others were wounded, including 10 children. · Nov. 11: Amid talks of a truce, six more Palestinians (all but one were civilians) were wounded and another was killed by both air strikes and troops on the ground. · Nov. 12: With Israeli air strikes continuing, two rockets from Gaza hit Israel. · Nov. 13: After two mid-afternoon air strikes, news services announced a truce had been agreed-upon. · Nov. 14: Israel ignored the nascent truce and assassinated Hamas military chief Ahmad al-Jabari. (It is questionable whether Israeli officials ever really wanted a truce. As Phyllis Bennis from the Institute for Policy Studies wrote in The Nation: "Earlier this year, on the third anniversary of the Gaza assault of 2008/9, Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz told Army Radio that Israel will need to attack Gaza again soon, to restore what he called its power of 'deterrence.' He said the assault must be 'swift and painful,' concluding, 'we will act when the conditions are right.' Perhaps this was his chosen moment.") A fact not known by most Americans, who see Jabari as merely a leader of "terrorists," is that Israeli activist Gershon Baskin confirmed that Jabari was engaged in peace settlement negotiations with Israel. In fact, he was due to send Hamas' version of a draft agreement to Baskin on the Wednesday evening before he was killed. It's worth asking: Did Israel intend to torpedo those efforts? The rest of the story is tragic history. Jabari's killing triggered Operation Pillar of Defense, and it continues to unfold. "It is overwhelmingly Israel that kills first after a pause in the conflict," writes Kanwisher, who analyzed the entire timeline of killings between Palestinians and Israelis from September 2000 to October 2008, to determine if there was a historical pattern. "Seventy-nine percent of all conflict pauses (during the study period) were interrupted when Israel killed a Palestinian, while only 8% were interrupted by Palestinian attacks (the remaining 13% were interrupted by both sides on the same day). In addition, we found that this pattern -- in which Israel is more likely than Palestine to kill first after a conflict pause -- becomes more pronounced for longer (ceasefires). Indeed, of the 25 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than a week, Israel unilaterally interrupted 24, or 96%, and it unilaterally interrupted 100% of the 14 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than nine days." The lengthy discussion above will undoubtedly be attacked, not by addressing the FACTS stated, but rather by unfounded claims that this poster is "anti-semetic." To those charges, I can only respond by pointing out two things: (1) "anti-Semitism" is a prejudice. As with any prejudice, it rears its ugly and ignorant head when one PRE-JUDGES a person or group based on "who" they are (i.e. a Jew), rather than judging the person or group based on their actual actions (i.e., his or their actions vis-à-vis the world). The overwhelming majority of people that are summarily labeled "anti-Semitic" by Israel's supporters are not PRE-judging Israel. They have formed their judgments based on Israel's actions. And, although we can debate all night what adjectives are appropriate to characterize those judgments, "anti-Semitic" is not one of them; and (2) even assuming (incorrectly) that this poster is anti-semetic, that characterization is wholly irrelevant. What matters are the FACTS about the I/P conflict. The possibility that a judge who convicts a Jew of murder may be anti-Semetic is irrelevant if the FACTS show that he committed the crime. Ah, but why let the FACTS get in the way of such character attacks or permeate the bubble of the Israeli matrix. Fortunately, thanks to Ms. Roy, among others, the Israeli Matrix is beginning to crack. Americans are waking up and starting to see the grand deception which has been perpetrated by Israel and its supporters--in particular, the American politicians and media which have until recently been totally complicit in that deception. I fear for what may happen when Americans finally realize the extent of the deception and the criminality of Israel's actions. Let's hope, at least for the DIASPORA'S SAKE, that those so justly enraged will be wise enough to differentiate between those that supported Israel's criminality and those that opposed it, between those that helped build the Matrix and those that sought to expose it, and between those that willfully kept silent and those who did not know any better.
"Kitch" I'm shocked. I've never seen you so obstinate regarding a subject. I have never considered Hamas anything other than what it was and I have never considered Israels policy other than what it was. What is it with you and this love affair with Israel?
This comment has been removed.
Why is someone an apologist for Islamism if they don't conform to some pro-forma condemnation of Hamas to satisfy you? Stop bullying people and address their actual arguments and views ratherthan imposing yourassumptions on them. There's little point in taking you seriously if you are so blind to anything but your own hatred of the Islamists.

My son loves his trunkie!

Comments about Trunki Terrance - Blue:
I love the trunkie and so does my son. Recently, we were delayed overnight on both directions of our trip and my son was totally entertained by his trunkie. He has ridden it all over many airports without incident. He is 2 and has no problem holding on or tipping over. He even decided he wanted to pull trunkie for awhile. We have found it to be durable, and it fits under the seat on a plane. People stopped him 3 times to take pictures of trunkie to send to relatives/friends. I would recommend it.

Whidbey officials gear up for new marijuana law
By JESSIE STENSLAND
Whidbey News Times Assistant editor
November 12, 2012 · Updated 9:34 AM
The day when adults old enough to drink can also smoke pot without fear of handcuffs may be close at hand, or even here.
The initiative legalizing marijuana already has had an impact in Island County, even though it's not set to go into effect until Dec. 6.
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said his office will no longer prosecute marijuana possession cases that fall under the "safe harbor provisions" of the new law. Specifically, that refers to adults 21 years old and older who possess an ounce or less of pot.
Moreover, Banks said his office is throwing out current cases in which an individual was charged with pot possession, if the case falls under the safe harbor provision. He said there are about 12 cases that will be dismissed; the number of marijuana cases have declined abruptly a couple of years ago after state and federal Supreme Court rulings limited the ability of law enforcement to conduct searches.
Banks said his office could technically still prosecute those pot cases, since they occurred before the initiative was even voted on. But he said that would be pointless.
"I don't think a jury is going to convict in this county given the overwhelming support for the measure," he said.
Initiative 502, the measure to legalize marijuana, was supported by nearly 56 percent of Island County voters, according to the latest count. That's just slightly ahead of statewide results, which have just over 55 percent of voters in support of legal pot.
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said he hasn't made any policy changes yet regarding marijuana, but he said deputies obviously won't be arresting people 21 years old and older for possessing an ounce or less of pot starting Dec. 6. He's invited an officer from the state Liquor Control Board, which will regulate marijuana, to talk with law enforcement officials on the island.
"Not to say I was in favor of the initiative, but now it's important to move forward in a practical way," he said.
Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said he plans to meet with the city prosecutor when she returns from vacation to see how she wants to proceed with handling marijuana cases until Dec. 6.
"This does change the entire dynamic and changes the way we do law enforcement," he said.
Brown points out that the medical marijuana law is still on the books; it allows people with a doctor's authorization to possess larger amounts of pot.
Over the next year, the state is supposed to come up with rules governing the growing, processing and labeling of pot before sales to adults over 21 can begin. The Liquor Control Board will be charged with licensing growers and sellers.
The initiative creates a per se limit of blood THC level for driving under the influence. Since there is no breath test for pot, a suspect would have to undergo a blood test.
One selling point of the initiative is that the state will tax marijuana. An ounce of high-quality pot currently costs about $200 an ounce in Mount Vernon, according to a website, www.priceof weed.com, that a detective referred the News-Times to.
Both Brown and Banks said the main unanswered question is how the U.S. Justice Department is going to respond. The federal government could sue to prevent the law from being enacted since it's contrary to federal law.
Brown said he's not comfortable with this conflict between state and federal law and he hopes the federal government works with the state on how to proceed with enacting the initiative.
"I want definite black and white parameters in law," he said.

Find Direct Flights from Jyvaskyla JYV
Fly Direct from JYV to the following Cities:
"Direct Flights" vs. "Non-stop Flights" Explained
Non-stop flights from Jyvaskyla Airport are listed above. But did you know that if you want to fly from JYV, there are three categories that affect your travel?
Non-stop: a flight from JYV which goes directly to the destination airport, without any connections or plane changes. If you want the shortest travel time, fly from Jyvaskyla Airport non-stop. Non-stop flights are usually the most expensive compared to direct or connecting flights.
Direct flight: a flight from Jyvaskyla Airport which does not require passengers to change planes. However, you probably still have to make a connection. It just means that the flight number remains the same and you do not have to change aircraft. Often times when you see a flight schedule it may not indicate that there is a connection.
Connecting Service: means your flight from Jyvaskyla Airport will have at least one connection, and most likely a plane change as well. So that great fare from JYV you found comes at a price!

ALBANY, GA -- Chehaw Wild Animal Park is getting ready to ship off one of their endangered red wolves to Tallahassee for breeding purposes. Rose was entered into the Species Survival Program, an online matching pool for endangered animals and was found a mate. The park says these wolves were once found in the wild throughout the eastern and southern central United States and now can only be found North Carolina so it's very important to make sure they're correctly matched to their mates depending on their gene pool. The SSP's goal is to maintain 98% genetic diversity of the breeds they hold in captivity. Right now there are around 200 red wolves maintained in US breeding grounds.Chehaw is also a breeding ground for the red wolf but has already matched some of their animals and says although they're sad to see Rose go, they understand what is best for the population.
