(Video) Organizers of aid flotilla seeking to challenge naval blockade of Gaza say 'damage caused' to 'Saoirse' docking in Turkey. Israeli officials satisfied with delays in sail

VIDEO - Israel
has managed to sabotage another vessel
seeking to reach the Strip, this time in Turkey, one of the organizers of an international aid flotilla to the blockaded Strip said Wednesday night.
"It was an intentional sabotage, no doubt. The Irish removed the ship from the water, and this act of sabotage was intended to deactivate the ship. The activists took photos of the damage, and the pictures will be presented Thursday in a press conference in Dublin."

Reports on malfunctions and delays have been growing in the past few days, as the flotilla prepares to set sail. An internal document obtained by Ynet reveals that fewer than 300 activists will be taking part in the protest activities against the Gaza blockade – a significantly lower number than initially expected.
According to information obtained by Israel, due to the delays the flotilla will set sail on Sunday, rather than on Saturday as planned.
Turkish flag in background?
Earlier Wednesday, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny called on Israel
to avoid actions that could harm people sailing with international aid flotilla that plans to challenge a naval blockade of Gaza.

Lead Poisoning
Your child's caregiver wants you to have information about lead poisoning. During your child's visit, your child's caregiver may ask you some questions regarding your family's exposure to lead, or may ask you to have your child's blood tested for lead. Lead is found in lead-based paints which were used in most houses built before 1978. It also is present in dust and soil contaminated by:
Other industrial chemicals.
Lead is also present in water that flows through lead pipes and plumbing fixtures. Improperly treated ceramic ware and lead crystal can increase lead content in food. Lead poisoning is preventable.
If there are high levels of lead detected in the body, it can cause children to have problems with their:
Bone marrow (the soft tissue inside bones).
Even if there are lower levels of lead detected in the body, behavior problems and learning difficulties can occur.
Symptoms of high lead levels can include belly pain, headaches, vomiting, confusion, muscle weakness, seizures, hair loss and low red blood cell count (anemia).
Treatment includes removing the sources of lead in the environment. If the blood lead levels are over 45 micrograms (mcg), a therapy may be needed to bind the lead in the blood and help remove it (chelation therapy). Other factors in treatment include good nutrition with foods high in calcium and iron. Repeat blood lead levels and other tests are used to follow the progress of treatment. Be sure to see your child's caregiver for further care as recommended.
Contact your local health department. They may be able to help you and your family find lead problems in your home and tell you if there are any lead problems in the area.
Families can help prevent their children from having lead poisoning. Lead reducing steps include:
If you live in a house or an apartment built before 1978, paint that is peeling needs to be removed from all surfaces up to 5 feet above the floor.
Do not store food or drink in ceramic pottery that may have lead glazes.
Use only cold water from your tap or bottled water for drinking or cooking (hot water has more dissolved lead).
Mop your floors frequently and wash off your child's hands and face before eating. Wash any toys that they may suck on or put in their mouth.
Make sure your child is not exposed to peeling paint that may contain lead. Close off rooms that are being remodeled (by using plastic sheeting) to reduce the spread of dust that may contain lead.

Disaster advice from financial experts
By Jenny
C. McCune Bankrate.com
Don't panic.
That's the advice that financial planners, stock brokers
and CPAs give about handling finances during turbulent times.
Whether it's a personal disaster -- your family loses
its home to a fire or a flood -- or a national catastrophe such
as the terrorist attack on 9-11, it pays to keep cool.
Losing your head won't improve things and might make
matters worse.
Keep cash in accounts
There's no need to withdraw a large sum of cash as some concerned
consumers did in the wake of last year's terrorist acts.
A little bit of spare cash is fine, says Morris Armstrong
of Armstrong Financial Strategies, especially if you live in an
affected area. People are likely to find that many ATMs are not
going to be working for a day or two. "So it may make sense
to have an extra hundred dollars or so," Armstrong says. "But
don't go overboard."
Unfortunately, people place themselves at a much bigger
risk by withdrawing large sums of cash, says Dale Vetter of Vetter
and Associates, a financial planning firm in Willingboro, N.J. That
cash could disappear if a person's mugged or something else goes
"Just take enough money out to cover a day or
two so you're not short of cash," Vetter says.
Have a plan in place
The best way to weather a financial storm brought on by a disaster
of some sort is to be prepared.
Start by having your financial papers in a secure
place, says Jordan Werner, a Bozeman, Mont.-based financial consultant
with D.A. Davidson & Co. That could mean having one copy of
papers at home and another at work. Or, just having a way to reconstruct
things can suffice. For example, list phone numbers and account
numbers that you will need to regain financial documents like bank
statements or life insurance policies.
If you record your financial information in a computer
program like Quicken, be sure to back it up regularly, Vetter says.
Keep your back-ups in a fireproof box, or better yet, store it away
from your home.
Document your personal possessions. Most insurance
companies recommend taking a personal inventory but that can be
cumbersome. Instead videotape or take pictures of your house and
your possessions, says financial planner Morris Armstrong. "You'll
be more apt to do that than to sit down and write a list,"
he says.
Before a personal disaster strikes, also make sure
that you have adequate homeowners insurance. Vetter also recommends
adding liability insurance onto your total property insurance. That
will help protect you in the event that you're sued because someone
is injured on your property.
Also try to create cash reserves, an emergency fund
that you can tap when disaster strikes. Those who are in the worst
position to weather a change in financial fortunes are people who
live from paycheck to paycheck, says Karen Schaeffer,
founder and president of Schaeffer Financial in Rockville, Md..
"It can be the difference between it being unpleasant, but
survivable, or having to seek bankruptcy," the financial planner
Don't let emotion rule
Finally, Schaeffer says to remember that people who have been through
a traumatic experience, such as a death in the family, the loss
of a home due to a flood or some other calamity will not be thinking
"Please understand that the human emotion of
grief clouds decision making," Schaeffer says. "They are
in a state of shock and should seek help."
Your financial adviser, a family member not involved
with the trauma, or even a friend can help you get back on track.
So don't panic. Follow the recommendations of these
advisers and you'll find that it is possible to rebuild your financial
house when the worst does happen.

Isn't it interesting that when a tragedy happens that involves guns, the first thing we hear is to ban guns and have tighter gun control laws yet we see guns flying off the shelves and concealed weapon permits soaring in the wake of these terrible acts of violence?
Gun control and responsibility are extremely important as a society, but so is personal protection. Our society has created so-called perfect storm environments where these types of mass shootings can occur without much threat for the shooter, yet leave the general public totally exposed. Wouldn't shooters think twice about going into a movie theater, mall or school if responsible adults, i.e. teachers, and concealed weapon permit holders were actually afforded the right to bear arms in public places?
Since we will never be able to identify every potential perpetrator or lock up every gun, true gun control should not be removing them from the hands of those who would wield them in protection of the innocent, especially in public places.

Want a 3.8 GPA? Major in Education
There are perennial concerns about the rigor and quality of teacher preparation. These have become so familiar that ed programs have taken to shrugging off the critiques as uninformed or anecdotal. Well, University of Missouri economist Cory Koedel has provided some new, clear, and pretty troubling evidence about the lack of rigor in teacher preparation. In "Grade Inflation for Education Majors and Low Standards for Teachers: When Everyone Makes the Grade," he compares grade distribution in education departments to that in twelve other university departments. Turns out that ed faculty are much more generous when it comes to grading (full disclosure: my shop at AEI published this "Outlook").
Koedel compares the distribution of course grades at two state flagship universities, Indiana University and the University of Missouri. At both universities, the average GPAs for the other twelve majors were roughly similar, while education stood as a stark outlier. Indeed, the average education GPA was 3.66 at Indiana University and 3.8 at U. Missouri. At Missouri, he reports that "every single student received an A (that is, 4.0) in one out of every five undergraduate education classes." One possible explanation is that all of the most accomplished students are majoring in education. However, rendering that explanation somewhat less likely, Koedel notes that ed majors "score considerably lower than students in other academic departments on college entrance exams."
In other recent work, Koedel has made it clear that these findings are not unique but actually appear to be pretty typical. How much does all this matter? Koedel suggests the answer is "a lot." First, he argues that grade inflation leads to reduced effort in college. A recent study by Philip Babcock, an economist at UC-Santa Barbara, shows that, for each one point increase in a student's expected grade, a student will typically reduce study time by 20 percent. Cory calculates that aligning grading in education departments to those in the other majors he looked at would boost student effort by more than 10 percent.
He also argues that education departments are contributing to the culture of low standards for educators. He cites a 2008 study by Brian Jacob and Lars Lefgren that asked principals to evaluate their teachers on a 10-point scale (with 1 representing "inadequate" and a 10 representing "exceptional"). Jacob and Lefgren found that a majority of teachers received an 8 or better. Such results echo the tendency of principals to evaluate less than 1 percent of their teachers as unsatisfactory, a routine brought to national attention in The New Teacher Project's The Widget Effect. Koedel remarks, "Undergraduate education majors become teachers, teachers become principals, and principals become district-level administrators. Ultimately, a sizable fraction of the workforce in the education sector is trained in education departments where evaluation standards are astonishingly low. Should we be surprised that low standards persist in K-12 schools?"
This phenomenon isn't new. Koedel notes that, more than fifty years ago, Robert Weiss and Glen Rasmussen documented that undergraduates taking education classes were twice as likely to receive an A as students taking classes in business or liberal arts departments. It's a familiar, endemic problem. For all the fanciful talk about clinical preparation, it'd be nice to see the nation's teacher prep programs finally decide to get serious about simple things like insisting on some minimal rigor. A half-century of tolerating mediocrity really should be enough.

Comment on this article
My understanding is that everyone who enters medical dental or vetetinary school is eventually called Doctor. OK, I exaggerate, but the point is that if you don't drop out, you'll graduate. Is this any different than getting straight A's as an Ed major? I don't think so. Neither graduation nor GPA is an indication of anything other than having (eventually) met the minimum requirements. Now, it's fair to ask, "Are those minimum requirements good enough?" That's a question that isn't addressed in the article nor (apparently) in the cited literature.
Another observation: My son's elementary school has excellent, dedicated teachers. The phrase "extraordinary education" was recently used by a parent to describe our school district. The principal will correctly rate no teacher as "inadequate" and most as 8's or 9's. Consider Finnish or South Korean elementary school teachers. Not a single one of them will rate lower than an 8. Is these high ratings the indication of a problem? No, neither are a problem nor are they inaccurate. The logic and conclusion of the penultimate paragraph is remains to be proven. The fact that principals rate their teachers highly is not on the face of it an indication of inadequacy.
BTW, the last sentence of the article is gratuitous. If you want to go around flinging insults, how about, "You have the logical abilities of a baboon. Maybe."

True enough. In my eagerness I expressed myself very carelessly. Please forgive me.
I was eager to highlight the fact that Ingres only ever briefly translated SQL to QUEL and that this was represented as a "lack of native SQL support", which was a devastating marketing tool in the hands of the vendors of competing products. While your purpose in recalling it seems to have been positive, the technique of translating SQL to QUEL proved very negative for Ingres in the marketplace. The taint lingered for many years, and for all I know it continues to linger. It is a touchy subject amongst those of use who think that Ingres has been very badly treated over the years.
> The point in my earlier post was not about Ingres but was an answer to a

So I gathered. And the point in my post was to emphasize that Ingres no longer works the way described and alluded to. I don't think that has any bearing on your point one way or the other. It is simply an update on the current state of play for anyone who might be interested.
Once again, I do apologize for my sloppiness.

Ooh err missus.
When it was announced that there was to be a modern reboot of St. Trinian's, it was met with luke warm murmurings to say the least. Yet when it comes down to it, the old films from the 50s and 60s were hardly comedy gold anyway. Safe family fare and sometimes fun into the bargain, and with strong casts, they have never been seen as essential British comedies and untouchable by the modern era's obsession with remakes and reimaging.
St. Trinian's 2007 style is not an improvement on the oldies, but neither is it the stinker some critics in 2007 wanted us to believe. It has en... read the rest.

You still have legs after that; you just have three too many, and they're all moving in opposition to each other.

Last summer, when Indiewire reported on the indie box office for the first half of 2011, we saw a hopeful turn in comparison to the year prior. A year later, it seems reasonable to suggest that not only has that trend held, but that things are continuing to spiral upward.
At this point last year, the top five specialty releases - "Midnight in Paris," "The Conspirator," "Jane Eyre," "Win Win," and "Cedar Rapids" - had taken in $68.1 million. That was up from $45.2 million in 2010, and just $26.5 million in 2009.
This year, the top five -- "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," "Moonrise Kingdom," "Salmon Fishing In The Yemen," "Bernie" and "Friends With Kids" -- have taken in $83.2 million. That's in large part thanks to "Marigold" and "Moonrise," which are turning into two of the biggest indie summer breakouts of the past decade.
In comparison to the specifics last year, it's almost perfectly on par with regard to the amount of films reaching important specialty milestones:
2009 - 2 specialty films grossed $5 million+
2010 - 6 specialty films grossed $5 million+
2011 - 6 specialty films grossed $5 million+
2012 - 6 specialty films grossed $5 million+
2009 - 8 specialty films grossed $2 million+
2010 - 15 specialty films grossed $2 million+
2011 - 15 specialty films grossed $2 million+
2012 - 15 specialty films grossed $2 million+
2009 - 17 specialty films grossed $1 million+
2010 - 22 specialty films grossed $1 million+
2011 - 28 specialty films grossed $1 million+
2012 - 27 specialty films grossed $1 million+
It's not all good news, though, with many disappointments sprinkled through the first half of 2012's many success stories. Indiewire recaps some of the biggest winners and most unfortunate losers of the year's first six months in the specialty market.
Check out a full chart of the top grossing specialty films so far in 2012 here.
Winner: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Never underestimate the power of an overlooked demographic. Fox Searchlight had the year's biggest indie hit so far with John Madden's older-skewing "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."
Starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton and Dev Patel, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" depicts a group of British senior citizens who head to India to retire. It opened in North America in May after already grossing nearly $80 million internationally. In its native UK, it's the fifth highest grossing film of the year, after "The Avengers," "The Hunger Games," "Prometheus" and "The Woman in Black." It's also the fourth best international grossing film released worldwide by Fox Searchlight Pictures, behind only "Black Swan" ($224.6M), "The Full Monty" ($212M) and "The Descendants" ($93.2M).
But who knew it would have such a remarkable following Stateside. After a massive limited debut where it averaged $27,298 from 27 theaters, the film quickly exploded -- taking in over $40 million after nine weekends of release. It ranked in the overall top 10 for six of its weekends, and still managed to rake in over $1 million last weekend from 534 theaters. When all is said and done, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" should end up with a gross around $50 million, making it the fourth highest grossing summer specialty film of the past decade (after "March of the Penguins," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Midnight in Paris"). It also should outgross both "That's My Boy" and "Rock of Ages," giving us the wonderful suggestion that Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are bigger box office draws than Adam Sandler and Tom Cruise.
Losers: Lola Versus and Sound of My Voice
While Fox Searchlight is currently enjoying a very strong start to another summer release ("Beasts of the Southern Wild," which averaged over $40,000 in its first weekend but its too soon to include it in the "winners" here just yet), it hasn't been all marigolds for the distributor this year. Two of its at-one-point-promising releases -- Daryl Wein's "Lola Versus" and Zal Batmanglij's "Sound of My Voice" -- crashed and burned.
Starring the indie-darling likes of Greta Gerwig and Brit Marling, respectively, the films' collective grosses are unlikely to cross the $700,000 mark. "Sound of My Voice" opened in April -- to quite strong reviews, one should add -- and averaged only $7,227 from 5 theaters in its first weekend en route to a $408,015 final gross. "Versus" opened less than a month ago and averaged a similar $7,954 from 4 screens, only to drop off even more quickly and end up with just $242,821 as of last weekend (and is unlikely to add more than $50,000 to that number). So Fox Searchlight, the box office gods giveth... and the box office gods most definitely also taketh away.

Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher could be Eagles' radar
Jeff McLane, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Posted: Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 7:49 PM
MOBILE, Ala. – Right up there along with who the Eagles intend to have at quarterback next season is the question of their health and strength on the offensive line.
Three of their starters on the line, including All Pro left tackle Jason Peters, will be trying to return from season-ending injuries. And two of the injured -- Peters and right tackle Todd Herremans -- will be 31 this year.
The situation screams for the Eagles to select a lineman early in the draft, possibly with their fourth overall pick.
For the first time in 14 years, the team entered Senior Bowl week with a high pick, but none of the prospects projected to go in the top five, or even the top ten, were scheduled to be here.
But after three days of practices, one tackle may have made a move into the top ten, and possibly as low as where the Eagles pick.
Eric Fisher of Central Michigan was labeled a mid-to-late first round pick by many analysts heading into the Senior Bowl. Now there are some that have him rated ahead of Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, ranked by some as the top overall prospect in the draft.
"I think he's made more movement that anybody in the draft," NFL Network's Mike Mayock said. "When you look at Fisher, he's a guy a lot of people thought was kind of a mid-to-late first rounder coming out of the MAC. He came out here and he stoned everybody. Now there are conversations about who's the first tackle in the draft."
Joeckel, a junior, is still rated by many draft services as the top tackle. CBSSports.com has him slated to go No. 1 overall to the Chiefs in their mock draft. But Fisher has been so impressive that two NFL scouts said that they now have him slotted ahead of the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Joeckel.
"I've seen him play. He's a very good tackle," Fisher said of Joeckel. "I'm looking forward to battling him in these next couple months, preparing for this."
Fisher said he met with the Eagles this week, although that hardly signifies any great interest. But coach Chip Kelly and general manager Howie Roseman will likely consider addressing the offensive line early in the draft, even if Peters, Herremans and center Jason Kelce return to their old form.
If they do, and left guard Evan Mathis maintains last season's solid play, the Eagles should be fine. But that was the expectation last offseason, before the injuries, and the Eagles were ill-equipped to handle the losses.
Add another year to the legs -- Mathis will be 32 in November – and the line is all of sudden an aging group. Fisher or Joeckel, even if they didn't start right away, would give the unit some high-end youth.
Both have the skill set to start right away. The Eagles, if they took either, could move Herremans back to his natural left guard, slide Mathis to right guard and start a rookie at right tackle.
Fisher started at left tackle for four seasons. He said he played a few games at right tackle and right guard during his sophomore season.
"From a skill-set prospective, he fits the left side more than he does the right," Mayock said. "He's a natural pass protector. Not as good a drive blocker, but he can drive block. But two years ago, Jason Peters was the best left tackle in football. So you got to make some decisions on where Jason Peters is going to be. The Eagles are sitting at four, and I'm a big believer that at four you get an All Pro."
With each year there are fewer concerns about prospects that don't play in the big conferences. But Fisher, who played in the MAC, said he had something to prove this week going up against defensive ends like Alex Okafor of Texas.
The 49ers' Joe Staley faced the same uncertainty when he came out of Central Michigan six years ago. The two-time Pro Bowl tackle had a strong Senior Bowl week and was eventually selected with the 28th overall pick in 2007.
"I remember walking in when I was being recruited at Central Michigan and saw his pictures, a first rounder, on the wall," Fisher said. "I was like, 'That's who I want to be. I want to follow in his footsteps.'"
The other issue with Fisher is his size. His measurements at Monday's weigh-in were 6-7, 304 pounds. He's always struggled to keep weight. But scouts see his frame, and with the NFL's strength programs, believe he won't have any problem adding pounds.
"He's got the frame that he could put on 20 pounds naturally without losing any of his quickness or footwork," Mayock said. "I think what you're looking for, first and foremost in a left tackle, is the ability to protect your passer. He looks a little bit to me on tape like Joe Staley. But the more I see of him the more I like him better than Staley when he came out."

Fish is a beast.

Teams can get into trouble when they draft according to need.......but it does look more likely that when the Eagles pick the best player available will be at a position of greatest need. I don't care if it's Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher....they need to make sure whoever they draft can start on the line in 2013.

I'm looking for app games that are like MapleStory, but not MS because I'm not entirely a fan of that game. I love the style of it, though. Other examples would be La Tale, Elphis Adventure and Terra Noctis. Another app game with the art style I like would be Rabi Run, but it's not quiet that side scrolling adventure.
If you know of any pixeled anime side scrollers, please let me know~ Thank you!

They do not have the legal authority to go into another country and get your dog back or prosecute her. They can only act when she returns to the USA.
Is there anything else that I can assist with?

Quickstart Setting up project sources
This quickstart gets the Citrus project sources running in a few minutes, starting with initial git repository clone and ending with a built Citrus project ready for coding.
- Git Client http://git-scm.com/
This can be either a command line client or some graphical UI. For simplicity, we assume you have the command line client installed.
- Java 7 (or higher version)
You can verify the Java installation via command line with
> java -version java version "1.7.0_xx" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.7.0_xx) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.7.0_xx, mixed mode, sharing)
- Maven 3.0.x (or higher version)
Download maven and install Maven on your machine. Please verify correct version and MAVEN_HOME setup using following command
> mvn -version Maven version: 3.0.x Java version: 1.7.0_xx Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.9" arch: "x86_64" Family: "mac"
- In case you want to use the Citrus TIBCO module in order to connect to TIBCO EMS or TIBCO Collaborator you will need a TIBCO Active Matrix BusinessWorks installation on your local machine. For more information about TIBCO see official website.
Initial git clone
First of all we get the Citrus sources from the repository on GitHub (http://www.github.com/). You can use the following command to do this
git clone git://github.com/christophd/citrus.git
This will clone the Citrus project to the target directory citrus. In the following this project directory is referred to as PROJECT_HOME. For detailed instructions about the version control system git, please consult the official website http://git-scm.com/.
Build the Citrus artifacts
Now everything is setup properly and you can use Maven for all the rest. Call
mvn install
This command runs the full Maven build lifecycle with compilation, testing, packaging and installation of all artifacts. You will find the freshly built Citrus JAR files in your local Maven repository. Using this new own Citrus version is quite simple. Just add the SNAPSHot dependency to your projects POM like this
<dependency> <groupId>com.consol.citrus</groupId> <artifactId>citrus-core</artifactId> <version>2.5.2</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
Create IDE project files
You can easily create the project files for your favorite IDE. For IntelliJ IDEA, in PROJECT_HOME call
mvn idea:idea
for Eclipse, call
mvn eclipse:eclipse
for Netbeans call
mvn netbeans:netbeans
The project files are now ready for import in your IDE. This is the preferred way for creating IDE project files in Maven. Please do not create IDE projects manually. Maven takes care of the whole project classpath construction.
Make sure that you have set the M2_REPO classpath variable set in Eclipse (or Netbeans). The variable value points to your local Maven repository (typically found in C:\Documents and Settings\username\.m2\repo or ~/.m2/repo).
Maven ofers a suitable command to do this automatically:
mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo
What's next?
Have fun with Citrus!

The Legalities of Gaza
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
January 5th–Israeli Gaza border– Israel has announced a ceasefire in Gaza has left it precipitously, in time for the retirement of the disgraced President George Bush.
Essentially, Tel Aviv has strategically lost the battle, for its objectives were not achieved in this David versus Goliath battle in reverse (curiously, Gaza City was the ancient capital of the Philistines from which the name Palestine derives): "David†did not destroy the Hamas "army†as a fighting force. In fact, at no time during this struggle were the Muslim rockets into Southern Israel halted, and (as of this writing) they are still being shot, nor were the tunnels under the Egyptian crossing ever completely destroyed. (An Israeli general even admitted that the Gazans were unbroken.) Now, what will become more evident by the time my audience reads these words, is the immensity of the dire humanitarian crisis. (40% of the dead and wounded slaughtered were women and children.) So far it is apparent that at least 4,000 buildings were destroyed, leaving 50,000 homeless. Further, most of these structures were constructed under international aid.
I was part of a conference – through cyber technology — with Amnesty International's Rapporteur on the Israeli-Gazan border, Donatella Rover. (Israel refused entrance to human rights, humanitarian, and news workers during the fight.) Of the few outside groups let in, the U.N.R.W.A. [the United Nations Relief and works Agency's] was hit by an IDF (Israel Defense Force) tank shells with an unacceptable loss of life and limb and the destruction of an edifice that contained most of the food and medicine available in the combat zone! As I file this story the U.N. (the United Nations) has requested an investigation into Israeli war crimes.
Amnesty has taken a terribly legalistic stance on what is a very human crisis (although later in the day as the meeting discussed, I was asked by their New York office to sign on to their condemnation of West Jerusalem as the humanitarian aggressor), Donatella began in the Philistine evening that Amnesty International (AI) had called for an arms embargo on both sides. She stated that there have been rocket attacks by each faction to the conflict. Trying to maintain a "balance†acceptable for American audiences, "Both Israel and Hamas justify their own human rights [record] by arguing that their attacks are in response to abuses from the other side.†Thus, they are applying pressure on both parties. Yet, in defense of Gaza City, she affirmed that a proportionate attack would not strike civilians!
"The Palestinian civilians cannot be punished for that which they have no responsibility!†The international family must insist that both sides respect the right of the individual to life. Here is where the American government has fallen short: the United States must be an honest broker! (Finally, Obama has broken his silence, and has called for an end to the violence, and has expressed a profound sympathy for the Palestinian inmates of the sliver of a land along the Mediterranean Sea sandwiched between a hostile Tel Aviv and Alexandra. Hopefully, the American President's assertion is a positive glimmer for the possibility for the future of a larger Arab-Israeli settlement.)
Replying to a question, Rover responded that the U.N. relief team had not totally pulled out from Gaza (and they and others are currently moving in force), but the blockade, in and of itself, has been disproportionate for years that had made the humane situation dismal even before the recent aggression. Israel has blocked humanitarian aid from entering the territory unlawfully! Some of Samaria's abuses, she said, "…constitute war crimes or crimes against humanity…â€
As I am filing this piece New York (i.e., the U.N.) has accused Israel of war crimes and has requested an independent investigation, for, as Donatella phrases it, They are "…among the gravest…under International Law.†AI had not felt Israel has committed genocide, nor does she place the blame squarely on Tel Aviv. In working in another benighted country, I found the same lack of moral fortitude with Amnesty. She feels that the Hamas organization had (questionably) broken the prior truce (actually the prior truce was broken on November 4th 2008 when the IDF made an incursion into Gazan sovereign terrain), but, even from her perspective, this does not give Israel the prerogative to apply collective punishment to the essentially unprotected population of Gaza. This very principle that was enforced by the IDF was unquestionably a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Amnesty works on a legalistic framework, as was intimated above, that is why "…we are using the standards of International Law to judge the conduct of all parties…Pressure must be exerted… to not hurt civilians…[Diplomatic] force has to be applied upon the Israel [and to Cairo, also] to grant unfettered access to the Strip…â€
To a question, Donatella Rover responded that (high) government officials can be held for war and human rights violations if it is proven that they created the policy that permitted the offenses. She, also, declared that London had confirmed that White Phosphorous was being used by the Israeli military even though it has been banned by Convention, but they had not confirmed the use of DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosion) although, since, a team of investigative reporters from RAI (Radiotelevisione Italiana) confirmed a like substance was being applied upon the citizens of Gaza.
Your author concludes that whereas Israel has degenerated into a rogue State, Hamas glorifies martyrdom and victimhood. This is not a positive situation for either populace to resolve their mutual antagonisms. Tel Aviv has lost any remaining stature in the world due to their naked cruel conduct of this conflict.
Although Cairo pulled itself out of the mire of collaboration with the Israelis through its negotiation of the truce, it is quite clear that the Arab world had abandoned Gaza. Hence, a new "Cold War' may be smoldering within the Middle East led by the more conservative Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the one hand and the more radical Iran and possibly Syria on the other. Also, this episode has deepened the alienation of the citizens from many of their nation states that could lead to instability and even revolt throughout the region. On the West Bank, where Fatah has dominated, it is clear through the tenor of the demonstrations during the emergency, Hamas is gaining influence within the electorate there.
This clash has changed the balance of political power and influence in West Asia and North Africa. For one thing, Palestine has become even more urgent. President Obama has already prioritized achieving a resolution to this conundrum. This has put a huge pressure on the new Administration in D.C. Surely the events over these two months have demonstrated the need for engagement with Damascus and Tehran to which our recently sworn-in president has already declared he is amenable.

Customer Reviews
2 of 5 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 28, 2013Reviewer: Cindy in KansasI'm not sure how to rate this. The taste is very good but I'm using it in a blend with erythritol and stevia as I don't want to find the GI distress threshold for this product. It is not calorie free. I unfortunately threw away the wrapper but I believe the first ingredient is dextrose or sucrose or some -ose. I think it is a worthwhile product and 1/2 a cup of tagatose blended with 2 cups of Now Foods Erythritol and 1t of NuNaturals Stevia is an absolutely perfect sweetener, I think it's use is limited as it still contains 40% of the calories of sugar. I am ordering more as I think it is helpful in a blend.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 15, 2013Reviewer: Diana in North CarolinaI love this product. It is indistinguishable from sugar in most applications. I do mix it with erythritol because of the possibilities of GI issues (haven't had any so far). It caramelizes and browns which the other sweeteners don't do, so it is great for barbecue sauce. It's still too costly to buy/use very much, though. Hope the price will come down soon--they should actually offer it for less to get people using it, then raise the price if necessary!
1 of 2 people found the following review helpfulMarch 11, 2013Reviewer: Cindy in KansasThe taste is very good.I would give the taste a 5 but I don't use it straight because of gi issues with it. My biggest fear is the GI distress many get with it. Because of this, I use it blended with erythritol and stevia. It does facilitate browning, even when blended with other sweeteners. It is not calorie free however, like many sweeteners. I'm not sure if I would buy it again. I need to work thru my first container before I decide.
February 08, 2014Reviewer: Aerin in WashingtonIt is the most sugar-like of the non-sugar sweeteners, and I think that it helps the flavor of recipes because it browns. I'm looking forward to trying more with it than just as a helper sweetener in a blend.
March 21, 2013Reviewer: A customer in GeorgiaI really like this product.

The FBI will launch a probe into a Utah police department that still hasn't said why a former Vancouver woman was shot and killed there in November.
Salt Lake City newspapers are reporting the FBI will look into the West Valley City Police Department's disbanded narcotics unit to determine whether there was corruption. It will also investigated whether there was a cover-up in the shooting death of former Vancouver resident Danielle Willard, 21.
Willard was shot and killed Nov. 2 while sitting in a car at an apartment complex where detectives had gone to conduct a narcotics investigation. Her family said that Willard had struggled as a result of drug use, and had moved to Utah and enrolled in a treatment program before she died.
Police haven't said whether Willard was armed, whether she threatened officers, whether she was suspected of possessing drugs, or released any other information. The officers who shot her have been on paid leave since the incident, according to The Salt Lake Tribune, and police didn't reveal until a Wednesday news conference that the narcotics investigation unit was subsequently disbanded in December over what the department's acting police chief, Anita Schwemmer, described as "concerns." She didn't elaborate other than to say there had been "allegations of department-wide corruption and civil rights violations" raised during investigations into Willard's death and the narcotics unit, according to the Tribune.
The Deseret News reported that the Salt Lake County district attorney has dismissed 19 narcotics cases that were investigated by one of the officers who shot Willard.
The FBI confirmed it will investigate the West Valley City Police Department, but a spokeswoman in Salt Lake City declined to give additional details, the Tribune reported.
West Valley City is a city of about 134,000 people and adjoins Salt Lake City on the southwest side. The city's police department has 183 officers.

At the Southwest Purdue Agricultural Center we have three high tunnels. Two of them have tomatoes plants, the third has pepper plants. All of the plants were transplanted into the high tunnels this past week. As I see pests in the greenhouses, I will try to report them here.
A few days ago, I found claybacked cutworm on tomato plants. On Wednesday, one of the plants was cut off at soil level. It appeared to be cutworm damage, but we could not find the pest. We replaced the tomato plant. The next morning in the early dawn, I went into the hightunnel and found the replacement tomato plant eaten in the same manner. Using the flashlight application on my phone I was able to find the cutworm right beside the damaged tomato plant. See photos below.
It is important to note that the cutworm, identified by John Obermeyer in the Purdue University Entmology Department, is a claybacked cutworm, not a black cutworm. Black cutworms do not overwinter in Indiana and would not be expected this time of year. Claybacked cutworms do over winter as mature larvae. See this link for more information on cutworms. See the Midwest Vegetable Production Guide forCommercial Growers 2014 for management help.
It is also important to note that I was able to find the cutworm at first dawn. This insect is nocturnal. So, the lesson is that in order to find cutworms, one must scout at first dawn. In other words, the early bird gets the worm!
I am not an entomologist, but if you have questions about this important pest, please let me know and I will try to get answers for you. Claybacked cutworm damage on tomato. I found the cutworm at dawn, when it was too dark to take a photos and placed the larvae back on the plant to take photos when it was light.

Chuck Norris and Tony Dungy cheer on Tim Tebow
Former Denver Broncos and New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow is still looking for a job after being let go by the Jets last month. Despite rumors linking the former University of Florida star to the Jacksonville Jaguars, spokesmen for the organization have told the media that the team is not interested in the popular Christian quarterback.
In an opinion piece published last Sunday, film and television star Chuck Norris endorsed Tebow, calling the 25-year-old player a "natural-born leader" and asking the Jaguars to give "serious thought" to signing him.
Retired NFL coach Tony Dungy also publicly offered his support, offering Tebow encouragement as he looks for a new team: "The advice I'd have for Tim is just to be patient, be faithful; the Lord has a good spot for you. He's going to give you the right situation."

I put this together at the request of a friend running a MapTools game. I envisioned it as a dungeon built into a sloping hillside of sorts, thus the stairs taking you up into each new room. He only wanted 2 spaces for encounters, the rest was, I suppose, for some RP/Skill challenge stuff, so the library and the living quarters didn't have to be particularly large.
If you drop it into Maptools, Grid square size of 50 is what you're looking for.
I tried out a lot of things working on this map. I did a lot more with layer masks, tried some different things with bump maps and overlays, basically just refined the techniques I'd sort of been haphazardly combining to make maps into something more consistent.
The first has bodies at my friend's request, he loves him some corpses. The second foregoes the mangled deaders. I was going to add more set dressing type stuff, but his intent is to add the finishing touches in MapTools.

One of the most difficult things about having your hardwood floors refinished is choosing WHO to work with amongst all the Naperville hardwood floor refinishing businesses offering their services.
What makes your choice even harder is that hardwood floor restoration work isn't something you can pick up, compare with another offer and then choose the best quality between the two. Unfortunately you can't see the outcome of a company's work until they're completely finished… which may turn out great, or may be far from what you envisioned.
How can you be assured of top quality work?
Not only great work but also great service and keep yourself protected at the same time in case something happens to go south?
We strongly feel that a professional business should never place all the risk on a client.
Most businesses will promise you the world to get you to hire them but then leave you holding all the risk, hoping you've made the right choice. We strongly feel that a professional business should never place all the risk on a client.
You're supposedly hiring professionals after all right? Shouldn't they have the confidence in their work to put their money where their mouth is?
We thought long and hard about how we could do this. We wanted it to be simple for the both of us, yet give you the confidence that if something happened to go wrong, you would be assured that we would take care of you with absolutely no hassles.
We also wanted to give you the assurance that not only would we provide top-notch work, we would also conduct ourselves professionally at all times and that we're committed to looking after your property like we would our own homes (which is a huge legitimate concern for many proud homeowners).
How we solved this issue for you...
We decided that having something in writing would be the easiest and safest way to accomplish this. We all rely on legitimate written guarantees when we make many purchases for protection in case something goes wrong. Why should the restoration work on your floors be any different?
So… we are proud to offer an industry first guarantee for hiring a hardwood floor refinishing business in Naperville.
We have decided to completely reverse all of the risk you're usually asked to take with this type of work and throw it all back on ourselves.
We have no doubt we're one of Naperville's best hardwood restoration companies and we're not afraid to put our money where our mouth is.
Our 8 Point Guarantee
Our Guarantee assures you'll receive top quality workmanship, care and service. We outline 8 important points that we promise to exceed your expectations with:
- Promptness and cleanliness of the crew.
- Care and respect will be shown towards your home.
- Upfront with your investment – we won't change the price on you down the road after our work has started
- Alarm codes and keys used for the duration of the project will be kept safe, secure and strictly confidential.
- Insurance and IWCC premiums will always be fully up-to-date.
- Industry standards – all 'National Wood Flooring Association' (NWFA) standards will be met and exceeded.
- Our 101% Dustless System must truly meet up to your satisfaction.
- You must be fully satisfied with the final outcome of the work prior to final payment.
We feel this is the least we can do for you when you put your trust in us to look after your investment in your floors. We urge you to look for a similar commitment from any other businesses offering you their services as well.
When you choose to partner with us on your floor refinishing project, you'll be provided with your Guarantee that will be personally signed by me, Tadas Sadunas, the President of Tadas Wood Flooring Inc.
I look forward to signing yours soon.

OLYMPIA – The state Department of Health has temporarily closed Samish Bay to shellfish harvesting because of high levels of fecal bacteria from the Samish River.
When the numbers of fecal coliform bacteria are high, the bay is closed to assure that contaminated shellfish are not marketed.
The state health agency's Shellfish Program says this closure shows there's more work to do to correct the pollution problems that have affected Samish Bay.
Samish Bay is currently classified as "Conditionally Approved," because it is periodically closed due to fecal pollution when the Samish River rises quickly.
The Shellfish Program will continue to collect and test water samples, and will reopen shellfish harvests when results improve. Past closures have lasted a few days.
Local and state agencies, residents, and volunteers have been working for three years to eliminate the temporary closures of Samish Bay. That would lead state health officials to change the classification to "Approved."
State health officials say the bay could be upgraded to "Approved" if there is only one pollution closure between March 1 and June 30.
Another closure this spring would confirm that more work needs to be done to identify and correct pollution problems.
Skagit County, Skagit Conservation District, the Departments of Ecology and Agriculture, residents and volunteers are continuing to identify pollution problems and get them fixed.

A lot of restaurants are coming out with gluten-free menus, which makes the gluten-free community very happy. But are the restaurants themselves gluten free?
It seems like there shouldn't be a difference between the two, but there are, which ultimately goes back to the issue of cross contamination. Let me explain.
I spoke to someone a couple weeks ago who had been diagnosed with celiac disease last year and who had been diligent about eating gluten free, including the household going completely gluten free to avoid the cross contamination issue. Lately, this person had been getting sick after eating out and there were a couple restaurants in particular that made them sick.
After talking a while, we figured out that even though the chicken breast at a restaurant was gluten free, it was cooked on a surface that had other items (not gluten free) cooked on them. The cross contamination was making them sick.
So what can be done to make people who request gluten-free menus aware of possible cross contamination?
First, listen. If someone asks for a gluten-free menu, make them aware of possible cross contamination. They may ask if you have a separate prep area, separate cooking utensils for gluten free, separate cookware, etc. If you do not, please be honest.
Second, explain any areas of possible cross contamination. If the chicken breast itself is gluten free, but the cooking area has had items that are not gluten free on them, just make sure and say that there may be cross contamination. We would rather hear that than to find out the hard way.
Third, please take us seriously. A lot of the population needs a gluten-free diet, even if it seems like the smallest thing.
For example, I had been on a restaurant's email list for a long time and recently asked to be removed. When asked why I wanted to be removed, I asked if they had a gluten free menu. I got a reply which stated that they now had gluten-free bread with their breakfasts. When I asked if they had a separate toaster for the bread, I didn't receive a response, which I took as a no.
Even the little things are big things when eating gluten free. If there are restaurants out there that would like me to come in and help educate the managers and staff on what it takes to have a gluten-free kitchen and prep area, please feel free to contact me, I'd love to help.
GJ Free Press health columnist Angela Wetzel has celiac disease and is president of Gluten Free Grand Valley, a support group for those with celiac disease and wheat allergies. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit Gluten Free Grand Valley on Facebook.
