Many cases that social workers face present an ethical issue. How such a case is handled will either benefit or harm the persons involved, and so, for that reason alone, what a social worker decides to do in response to a case is an ethical decision.
The question is how best to help social workers and students wrestle with the ethical aspects of social work practice. They need to make the best ethical decisions they can. There are two ways to proceed. We can study ethical theory and apply it to practice, or we can examine the practice to tease out the ethical issues involved. Each method has its advantages and its disadvantages.
In either case, we ought to resist the temptation to light upon one ethical theory as ''the best'' and use it to answer all ethical problems that arise in practice. Such a method prescribes a clarity where often clarity cannot be achieved. The Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers says that it:
Appealing to one ethical theory as ''the best'' will guarantee a rank ordering of ethical values and principles, but in doing so, we will lose the ethical ambiguities inherent in social work practice and obtain clear answers at the cost of misunderstanding the complexities that some ethical problems present to us. The Code of Ethics is clear again when it says that:
We have chosen to examine social work practice and tease out the ethical issues involved by using a method we call ''tracking harms.'' Among its other virtues, this option confronts the reader with real cases, gleaned from hours of interviews with social work practitioners. In each case, we put in the information the practitioner had. So one virtue, we found, is that the cases resonate with the experiences of practitioners.
Another virtue is that when used in a group or a class, the cases engender lively discussions about what ought to be done. Participants discover that what they think is obvious others think is wrong. They discover that they will need to provide reasons for their views if they are to have a hearing.
It is helpful to have someone leading such a discussion, but the role should be primarily as an organizer of others' thoughts, writing on the board or on an overhead projector what is being discussed--for instance, who is affected by the case. The leader can always intervene in the discussion when it seems to be going astray and say something like, ''O.K. I've lost track of where we are here. I'm trying to write all of this up on the board, but we were talking about such-and-such and now I'm not sure what we are talking about.''
Patience and a persistence in ensuring that the method is followed will almost always produce an answer from the participants--whether they are experienced practitioners or students in social work. The most difficult part for the discussion leader is to learn the right touch of deftness in figuring out when to say anything, and then in knowing what to say.
''One permanent feature of discussions about ethical issues is the underlying assumption, perhaps too often voiced, that ethics is just a matter of personal belief. ''No one has the right to tell me what to do, and I have no right to tell anyone else what to do.'' That assumption is especially likely to be voiced when disagreement arises about what ought to be done.
Living by the creed of that assumption, however, would undermine professional ethics. In becoming professionals, we agree to abide by the code of ethics of our profession. The codes do not assume that ethics is a matter of choice. They assume that sometimes there is a right and sometimes a wrong. For instance, we start Chapter 1 with the following scenario: Someone tells you about a confidential case while both of you are standing in a line at a restaurant where others can overhear. The NASW Code of Ethics prohibits such discussions. These kinds of discussions are wrong--no ifs, ands, or buts.
Discussion of a case leads either to an answer or to the discovery of a conflict of values within the profession, a deep tension between, for example, limiting a client's confidentiality and demonstrating a commitment to the client's wellbeing. We then have a case in which either of several responses is acceptable, with a recognition that we are in deep water. Even in such a case, participants come to see that ethics is not just a matter of personal belief. In such a situation, we are not free to believe what we wish. We must have reasons for our choice, reasons founded in the nature of the profession and in our commitment to its mission and goals. If we must break confidentiality to protect a client, and we fear the loss of trust in the relationship in which we had confidentiality, we need to think through the full implications of the alternatives and make a decision based on our best judgment about what a social work practitioner ought to do in such a situation. That is what ethics requires--that those whom we affect by our judgment can trust that we did what we thought was best in accordance with the goals and values of the social work profession.
So the discussion of a case that is interesting enough to generate lots of discussion may not lead to any clear resolution. Just as life sometimes does not provide us with all the facts we need to make a thoroughly informed decision, social work life sometimes provides us with competing values. The model we propose, however, does help us come to grips with cases that can seem incredibly messy and overwhelming upon our first encountering them.
We should mention another feature of our exposition that also mirrors life. We have made use of first person, second person, and third person pronouns, carefully switching between the three as the occasion requires. We may use ''we'' when we think a value is fully shared or are speaking for an identifiable group. We use the third person when, for instance, we are trying to remind the reader of the kind of objectivity ethical decision making requires. We may use the second person when we are trying to cajole the reader into adopting the point of view of a participant in order to understand more fully why the participant might have done what he or she did. Ethical decision making is a peculiarly personal process. You must decide what to do, and if you decide not to do anything, you will have to live with what happens from your not deciding. In our use of pronouns, we are trying to engage each and every reader in that peculiarly personal way that ethics requires.
We lay out the method of tracking harms in Chapter 1; Chapter 2 is devoted to detailing the crucial assumptions of our method--the need for providing reasons in making a decision about what to do, the requirement that the reasons be of a specific kind, and so on.
Chapters 3 through 5 cover the various kinds of relations social workers can be in--with clients (Chapter 3), with their peers (Chapter 4), and with their employers (Chapter 5). Chapter 6 is on justice and concerns both particular issues about justice within our system and the general issue of what kind of social system we ought to have and what kinds of ethical relations to our current system social work practitioners ought to have. Chapters 3 through 5 are thus about issues internal to our ongoing social system; Chapter 6 raises an ethical issue about the social system itself. Each chapter is case-driven; the cases are used to present the kinds of ethical issues that social workers have faced and will face.
We have not aimed at completeness of coverage. We have aimed to cover the most general sorts of ethical issues that social workers face. These are the sorts of issues identified through our discussions with social workers as central to their practices. We have included extra cases in Appendix II. These are sample cases to practice on, and, in some instances, they raise issues other than the ones we examine. We have found that practitioners are a sure source of cases, and we encourage readers to develop their own cases.
We have also not aimed at thorough coverage of the issues raised in any one case. We have instead used the cases to provide material to begin the dialogue and work that needs to take place to appreciate fully the complexities of these issues. As we have discovered, the cases are fecund in their capacity to generate discussion on any one issue. In addition, issues cannot be readily isolated from one another, and so, though we use particular cases to raise a particular issue, discussion quickly leads into the implications for other issues in social work practice. For instance, we provide a case of a social work practitioner having sexual relations with a former client. Pursuing that issue to its fullest extent would require, among other matters, examining what agencies ought to do about setting standards for social work practitioners. It would also require determining what kinds of enforcement mechanisms would be appropriate and could be effective to ensure compliance regarding what is a private relationship, one not likely to come to the attention of other social work practitioners. All cases we examine, that is, are pregnant with implications. That is one of their virtues. Their discussion produces lines of investigation for further work.
We have tried to stick as closely as we can to what we take to be the main issue that each case raises, without pursuing its implications and without necessarily drawing a conclusion about what ought or ought not to be done. We take seriously the admonition that, regarding such issues, ''reasonable differences of opinion can and do exist among social workers'' (Code of Ethics, Preface). We think one reason for this is that, as with other professions, the values of social work ethics can be in tension in particular cases. For us to impose a solution would be for us to impose our particular choice about how to resolve the tension among differing values.
Although we have not attempted to provide a thorough bibliography on all of the issues in social work ethics, we do direct the reader's attention to material that itself contains further references. By pursuing these leads, readers will quickly be able to home in on whatever specifically interests or concerns them. We also refer to the NASW Code of Ethics often; a copy is available at www.naswdc.org/CODE.HTM.
We thank the social workers who gave their time to be interviewed and were open about the ethical problems they experienced in their practice so that others could learn from them. They were open even when they were unsuccessful in resolving the ethical problems or had made mistakes. We cannot provide names for reasons of confidentiality; therefore, we have carefully removed all identifying references in the cases.
We also thank the students and practitioners who helped with comments in the classes and workshops in which we tried out various versions of the text. We can only issue a blanket ''Thanks!'' for the help provided by so many. We thank as well the following reviewers, who provided critical comments about how to improve the text: Sally G. Goren, University of Illinois at Chicago; Glenda Dewberry Rooney, Augsburg College; and David A. Spruill, Louisiana State University.
We would appreciate any constructive comments readers may have as well as any cases they may wish to send (with all identifying references removed). You may send those by e-mail to Linda Reeser at firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to Professor Linda Reeser, School of Social Work, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI 49008, or to Wade Robison by e-mail at email@example.com or by mail to Professor Wade Robison, Department of Philosophy, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY 14623.

Wuerl on same-sex marriage
"The Catholic Church welcomes everyone," Cardinal Donald Wuerl said when pressed on gay marriage on "Fox News Sunday."
Wuerl said the church is accepting of and provides counsel to all its members, it would be unable to recognize same-sex marriage. "You're not supposed to be following a moral law apart from what Christ has said to us," he said.
Host Chris Wallace brought up same-sex marriage by asking the cardinal how he would address a "good, gay Catholic" who is committed to the church but openly gay. And Wuerl pledged to "walk with" all members of the church.
Wuerl defended the church from charges of bigotry, saying that it could not accept men and women getting re-married in the same way it could not accept gay marriage.

Here is a new project .
Please take a look,
feedback, advices , good or bad comments are very welcome..
I have only some issues with IE7 , but , are almost undetectable… and I'm working to fix this ASAP
Is that the Cuber plugin? Cool effect…
The site might look better with a darker color above the red line. I realize that it's all the body background image, but that's my 2 cents.
Oh No , Cuber is good , But I prefer this one: http://www.modularweb.net/piecemaker/
You got a Point in the bg , I should make it shorter and repeat it… thanks dude.
Just Change how the menu looks… Please give me some feedback about this menu!
Every comment, suggestion will be very welcome ;)
Hi there…
Some advices:
Can you use a darker color for a better contrast? maybe more smooth… For example over the Red Line you could use a dark gray or something like that…
I don't understand why the Menu is under "Servicios" I mean, that menu should be in the same row that: "Productos" & "servicios"
Check again the link to your website, all those are redirecting to the same directory:
For Example:
webpage.com/serctorrd.com *instead* just http://sectorrd.com
You could play better with the type in all your site (:
In the Footer I can't see the very very light Gray line, you need a little bit more contrast please.
The controls for the Slider in the Homepage are not centered, centered will looks better.
your site is pretty, but it could be better! ;)
hey @Jitachi , Thanks for all your recommendations , I follow all of them….
Now I'm thinkg how can I improve the way te text are showing ……
thanks Again!

Energy and Water Minister Gebran Bassil arrives to attend a Cabinet session at the Presidential Palace in Baabda, Monday, July 30, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Energy Minister Gebran Bassil Friday urged the Cabinet not to make changes to the original demarcation of the Exclusive Economic Zone, adding that failure to settle appointments at the Petroleum Commission would delay oil and gas exploration.
The minister, who was speaking at a news conference Friday, rejected calls to reopen discussions of an earlier decree that set the borders Lebanon's economic zone in September 2011.
"This [call] could give the impression that Lebanon is ready to back away from its rights in the [maritime borders] dispute with Israel," Bassil said.
A recent report by the Foreign Ministry recommended that the government endorse a new EEZ, evading zones disputed by Israel and Cyprus, in order to set oil and gas exploration in motion.
According to An-Nahar newspaper, Prime Minister Najib Mikati is expected to travel to New York in September to request U.N. mediation in the disputed area, which totals to about 854 square kilometers, and reportedly holds significant gas reserves.
"Lebanon has made mistakes that benefited Israel in the past," Bassil said, hinting that delays have encouraged Cyprus and Israel to ink an agreement on their economic zones back in 2010, without consulting Lebanon.
Bassil stressed that many companies are interested in tapping into Lebanon's oil and gas reserves.
"The situation is already stable and we already have 26 international oil companies which expressed interest [in gas and oil exploration], with U.S. ones on the top of the list. They [the companies] have already bought [geophysical] data," he said.
"Both Cyprus and Israel are already going ahead with tapping oil and gas reserves in spite of the disputes. Why shouldn't Lebanon do the same?" the minister asked.
Bassil reiterated that delays in energy exploration are not related to disputeswith Israel over the EEZ, but primarily because Lebanon has not been not finalize appointments at the Petroleum Commission.
The Cabinet is reportedly putting final touches on appointing members to the body, which would be in charge of a first round of licenses for offshore oil and natural gas exploration.
Media reports said 50 out of 620 candidates were initially chosen and later shortlisted to 18 candidates, representing six major religious sects. One candidate from each sect is to be appointed.
Bassil said the Cabinet had agreed on the first person to be appointed for the body, but did not reveal the name.
"I hope that this is an indication that other appointments will be completed. All the decrees are ready and we are waiting [for the appointments]," he said.
Candidates circulating in the media include: Baheej Abu Hamza, current head of the Oil Importers Association and owner of Cogico; Nasser Hoteit, a senior engineer at Total oil company; Wissam Shbat, an adviser at the Energy Ministry; and Wissam Zahabi, an energy adviser at the presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Lebanon has substantial quantities of natural gas and possibly oil, an executive at Spectrum – a Norwegian company that carried out a 3-D seismic survey in Lebanon's EEZ – told The Daily Star last week.
"We have high potential [for oil and natural gas] all over 22,000 square kilometers of Lebanon's territorial waters and not only in the south," Bassil said at the news conference.
"Surveys are proceeding well and we are discovering new prospects every day," he added.
Sources close to Speaker Nabih Berri say that Amal wants energy exploration to start from the water off the south coast.
Experts say that it will take at least five years until the first deposit of gas or oil can be extracted from the bottom of the sea.

True Blood
Deborah Ann Woll Drops Out of Zac Efron Movie
Sorry, Truebies... you'll just have to find another opportunity to see Deborah Ann Woll on an enormous, silver screen. The True Blood vixen has abandoned the romantic comedy Are We Officially Dating?, in which she would have starred opposite Hollywood hunk Zac Efron.
"I'm bummed that I actually won't be able to work with the wonderful cast, crew, and production team on AWOD," she announced through her webmaster on Twitter. "Unfortunately, scheduling didn't work in my favor. Hopefully we can 'officially date' on another project. Best of luck!"
A bummer, indeed! She and Zac would have made a beautiful couple. But if it's a choice between that and her on True Blood, we're guessing that you'd prefer the latter.
And if you really want to catch Deborah at the cineplex, she does have three comedies in the pipeline: Rosaline, Highland Park, and Meet Me in Montenegro.

PNGs aren't a vector format. They are a raster format. So if you are trying to import a vector format, .png is not one. You can however use tracing tools to convert raster image formats to a vector format you can then import. Such tools are widely available; in software like Adobe Illustrator (commercial) or Inkscape (open-source freeware), or more directly in specialized tools like Vextractor (commercial) or Autotrace (open-source freeware).

A porn trade group (naturally) has called for a halt on the production of porn all over the country in fear of a Syphilis outbreak after one of the...performers...tested positive for the disease.
Now the idea of an STD outbreak in an industry where business IS pleasure and your paycheck is based on zee banging isn't quiiiite farfetched. It seems like everyone in Hollywood has already hooked up with everyone else--and they're not even paid to do it--so imagine how it is in the porn industry equivalent. Every co-star is another notch on the bedpost (and awkward courtesy phone call to make, Miranda from Sex and the City-style, when there's a Chlamydia diagnosis.)Â But Syphilis?? That seems so...medieval. Like Lupus...or Cholera...or Whooping Cough.
There's currently a call for the performers--over 1,000 of them--to get tested. Until then, the shooting (and sexing) will be at a standstill.
Freaking syphilis...who
wouldn't would've thought.

When her mother calls to ask her to assist her Grandpa Jack (Jackson Andrews) on a WWII battle site tour, as she had broken her leg, Ava sees a chance to break down the barriers between her and her Grandpa.
Ava runs the idea past her boss, and he suggests that she videotape the tour for mini-segments for the show. But Ava will have to be reminded over and over that this tour is for the healing of her grandpa and not a TV special.
Grand-Paul (Paul Prichard), a close friend of Grandpa Jack, was also going, under the care of his grandson, Dennis, Ava's first love from fifteen years earlier.
Upon arrival in Paris, they find the tour cancelled due to the tour guide's accident in Northern Africa. Both men want to continue the tour, so Ava and Dennis accommodate them. The mystery parts Ava wants to know about is Angeline and Chenogne, the two things Grandpa Jack has kept secret from Ava. The tour ends with a memorial service at the Mauthausen concentration camp.
Tricia weaves the tender story of two elderly ex-soldiers from the same Infantry Division who want to reminisce and make amends stemming back from their haunting actions and memories from WWII, particularly Grandpa Jack with Angeline and Chenogne. The heartfelt emotions of the characters tear at your own heart as you hear the story unfold. The interactions between Grandpa Jack and Ava the TV host and Ava the granddaughter evolve in such a way that it heals your heart. The sights and scenes bring both sorrow and joy to the two friends. It's a trip that is both agonizing and freeing. One that's filled with hope and faith that reaches the most unlikely characters.
Woven amongst the WWII tour memories, there's an on-again, off-again romance between Ava and Dennis. Their goals had separated them fifteen years ago. Ava also has the complication of an ex-fiance who wants her back. Would she have to choose? Would their goals continue to separate them? Especially when Ave and Dennis are again separated at the end of the tour.
Being so close to Veteran's day, it's a time to remember and give thanks to all the soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they made on our behalf. Thanks also to Tricia for sharing these memories with us in novel format.
Since I read this book, my husband and I got to meet a gentleman, who served in Northern Africa during WWII, and his wife. Applebees restaurant gives a free meal to veterans on Veterans' Day here, and we were talking with this couple until our booth was available. We asked them to share the booth with us. It was exciting to meet a WWII veteran and his wife. They were in their late 80′s. Now I understand Tricia Goyer's joy in sharing their stories.

Cindy Loven4 Stars Out Of 5Contemporary look at historical eventsNovember 21, 2011Cindy LovenQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Ava doesn't want to miss anymore special times with her grandfather. She realizes as she looks back over the years that the things they talked about were not the things that were important to him. So this trip with him to retrace his steps that he took as a young nineteen year old fighting in WWII was important. Meeting up again with an old flame that she deeply fell in love with when she was eighteen, makes this trip a bit stressed, but very interesting.
I enjoyed the book very much, it was a great story, different from Tricia's other WWII books, but was very interesting. I cried with Ava as she realized how frail and old her grandpa was. I laughed at the antics of the two old friends as they tried their hand at some matchmaking. I enjoyed reading about WWII through the eyes of Ava, coming to grips with the things her grandfather went through as a young man, and finding her own faith again. There was a part that caught me off guard, when during a conversation with her grandfather, one of the other soldiers used a word you rarely find in Christian fiction. All in all a wonderful story with a contemporary view of a historical event. 4 stars.

Ava, her Grandpa Jack, and his friend whom Ava fondly calls, Grand-Paul, visit battle sites as they retrace the route these men took during World War II.
Through her research, and interviews with World War II veterans Tricia Goyer honors these veterans by using their stories to create stories like Remembering You, Stories I think many readers will enjoy, especially those who enjoy history. I may never be able to visit Europe myself, but Tricia Goyer's descriptions made me feel that I was there experiencing the journey with the characters.
I loved the characters in this story, they were so real that they leapt off the page. I watched them grow with each new experience, and as they learned more about each other. They learned forgiveness, compassion, to listen, and to accept each other as they are. They also grew in their love of God.
I enjoyed learning about World War II, and the battles that the characters fought in. Tricia Goyer did an excellent job in combining contemporary times and history together to create a wonderful story that I will read again, and have already recommended to my husband, because he also likes to read about World War II.
I would recommend Remembering You for readers high-school to adult.

Artistically, what was the inspiration behind Coke Siege?
Our intention was to make an epic film using the codes of the fantasy world. As illustrators ourselves we love the energy we see in concept art for films, books and games and we thought this project had great potential for bringing that into motion. We wanted illustrated landscapes, integrating the characters as much as possible with their environment. Wherever possible, we wanted to use graphic tricks to create depth – using atmospheric depth and coloured haze, rather than very photographic optical depth of field.
How did you become involved in the project? Did the agency, Wieden + Kennedy, contact Nexus/Fx & Mat, or did Coca Cola rope you in themselves?
Wieden+Kennedy and Nexus had been discussing this project for some time as there is an ongoing relationship between the two companies. Nexus then proposed our names to see it through to completion, so it was great to be involved!
From concept to delivery, how long was the entire production?
MAT: Only 3 months! Which was a very tough schedule for the ambition of the project.
FX: If you take in account the night shifts and the lack of lunch breaks due to the amount of work that was needed, it was probably closer to 5 months worth of work!
With a piece so cinematic and so large in scope, there are likely to be many artists involved. How many artists, from pre-production to post-production had a hand in Coke Siege?
A fair few! From concept design to delivery, there were nearly 75 artists involved both at Nexus and Framestore- extremely specialised and talented artists for each specific role. This project was so huge in scale that everything needed to be planned extremely precisely, and it was partly due to the talents of the crew we had that we were able to hit the Super Bowl deadline!
Can you explain the creative efforts that went into the environment/production design of the film? And likewise, can you shine a light on how the character design process.
Our main enemy was time. We only had a few days to decide on a direction for the design, so we worked with several concept designers who we liked that despite having wide artistic backgrounds, knew the codes of the fantasy world. We worked with some really talented character designers on the project. As it turned out, some of the characters that made it to the final cut came from Florian Caspar who was a new recruit to the studio after recently graduating.
We had to write the story at the same time as preparing the storyboard, whilst also designing the characters… All of this had to happen in a very limited period, so we assigned goals to the different artists involved and our task then was to drive everything in a common direction.
The narrative development this was a very organic process between the Agency Creatives, Nexus owner Chris O'Reilly and us. It was great to be so heavily involved in this part of the creative process.
How did Framestore London enter the equation and for those who don't know, please explain their role.
At the time the project came to fruition, we had several large jobs going through the Nexus studio so unusually we had to look at other partners to collaborate with us. Framestore felt like a natural fit, due to their relevant expertise in both creature animation and filmic fantasy worlds.
To explain Framestore's role – Nexus initiated storyboards and designs, but worked in a close collaborative role with Framestore who led the animation and FX throughout the project. On this project, we had A-list artists from both the film and commercial departments.
How did you find working with such a robust post-production team in Framestore London? At any point, where there any significant bumps in the road during post-production? As well, what was the biggest technical hurdle in the film?
It was pretty cool actually! On past projects, we've often been involved as CG operators or compositors depending on the work involved, but we realised on a job of this scale it was important for us to focus more on the directorial overview – overseeing a group of artists, rather than getting heavily involved in the nitty-gritty of the work.
In term of technical challenges, well, we were supposed to make an epic film, so we took all the epic decisions: crowd, fur, ice, fire, smoke, painted landscapes, fireworks …In other words, every step of the film was a challenge in itself! So it involved a lot of R&D to make things feel illustrated rather than hyper-real, for example the fire FX. But everyone on the team at Framestore rose to the challenge.
What is the origin of Fx & Mat? What where the circumstances of the both of you meeting and later deciding to join forces?
We met at school, in Supinfocom and graduated in 2006 with a short film called En Tus Brazos (with another friend, Edouard Jouret). After school, we worked on our own for a while in Paris, still friends and seeing each other from time to time, complaining constantly about our jobs (like French people usually do). Then, in 2008, we got too bored and re- joined forces!
In terms of the creative dichotomy between Fx & Mat, what are each of your partners strengths? Do you split creative responsibilities? Is one of you better at one role than the other?
Mat: Knowing each other so well by now is an amazing thing for our work – we can talk freely, so the process gets faster and faster!
Fx: About our roles, there are some parts that we undertake entirely together, like the narrative/storyboard/direction. The pre-production/concept design is a process we collaborate on also, so we can test out more ideas, and have more choices!
Mat: Then, each of us have our specific strengths – FX is more into character design (he is a wicked illustrator as well!), I'm more into editing (another tricky part when there are billions of ideas to tell in only one minute).
Fx: Yeah, Mat loves trying a thousand options in editing and I love throwing a lot of ideas into the storyboarding, which makes the editing hell thereafter! Between us, we cover both beginning and end stages of a project!
Lastly, now that the both of you had such a big US showing with Coke Siege, have you become a fan of American football?
Mat: I still don't get the rules, but those dudes are real modern warriors, with armour and stuff (they just need axes and swords)! I wouldn't last more than 3 seconds on the field…
Fx: I enjoyed it, but had my doubts about Fergie at the half time break…

This file picture shows Hezbollah members parading during a ceremony in Dahiyeh. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
JERUSALEM: An Israeli court has sentenced an Arab citizen of Israel to seven years in prison for spying for Hezbollah.
A court document says Milad Khatib was convicted of being in contact with a foreign agent and assisting an enemy in wartime. It says he confessed to the charges against him as part of a plea bargain.
Khatib was accused of gathering intelligence on the security detail for Israel's president and on army installations. The 26-year-old is said to have been recruited by a Hezbollah operative in Denmark in 2009.
The Haifa court decision was handed down on Tuesday.
Israel and Hezbollah are bitter enemies. The two fought an inconclusive, monthlong war in 2006, which was sparked when Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid.

How do doctors test for food allergies?
- Debra
Doctors often use a combination of skin testing and blood testing to diagnose a food allergy.
One common skin test is a scratch test. For this test, a doctor or nurse will scratch the skin with a tiny bit of liquid extract of an allergen (such as pollen or food). Allergists usually do skin tests on a person's forearm or back. The allergist then waits 15 minutes or so to see if reddish, raised spots (called wheals) form, indicating an allergy.
If the doctor thinks someone might be allergic to more than one thing — or if it's not clear what's triggering a person's allergy — the allergist will probably skin test for several different allergens at the same time.
When a skin test shows up as positive with a certain food, that only means a person might be allergic to that food. In these cases, doctors may want to do additional testing.
To diagnose a food allergy for certain, an allergist might do a blood test in addition to skin testing. This involves taking a small blood sample to send to a laboratory for analysis. The lab checks the blood for IgE antibodies to specific foods. If enough IgE antibodies to a particular food are in the blood, it's very likely that the person is allergic to it.
If the results of the skin and blood tests are still unclear, though, an allergist might do something called a food challenge. During this test, the person is given gradually increasing amounts of the potential food allergen to eat while the doctor watches for symptoms.
Skin tests may itch for a while. If your child undergoes one, the allergist might give you an antihistamine or steroid cream for your child to use after the test to lessen the itching.

Fellows Explore University Innovation during FT2
At ASU, we are only just now beginning to understand our capacity to shape our world into a place where everyone has the choice to lead healthy, productive lives. Where compassion and collaboration is simply assumed in the normal course of daily operations. And where new ideas are met with only eagerness and joy. This is true transformation. This is university innovation at its best.
But what is university innovation? Joseph A. Schumpeter, the economist who coined the phrase "creative destruction" defines innovation as "the carrying out of new combinations." Sociologist Everett Rogers speaks broadly of it as "an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new." But most applicable to the kind of social impact to which ASU aspires, might be H.G. Barnett, an anthropologist who talks about innovation as the "basis for cultural change."
The question of university innovation is one that all of us at ASU are called upon to answer. And it's one that will only be defined as we move forward and explore the area for ourselves.
For the sake of this type of exploration, the fellows took part in Fellows' Training 2 (FT2) a few months ago and our journey toward discovering the answers to the question of university innovation during this time led to some unexpected places—HALO Animal Rescue for example.
Family-founded in 1994, HALO's mission statement is "Helping Animals Live On through increased adoption, sterilization and pet care education." Most of the pets at HALO come from local animal shelters where many of them were scheduled to be euthanized.
The university innovation fellows toured the HALO facilities—a former DMV in the west Valley whose cramped quarters saw more than 2,500 homeless pets come and go in the last year alone. The space was bright and cheerful, as were the workers and volunteers who greeted the fellows. The animals were quiet and obviously well cared for, some in cages, some playing in pens placed around the room. Some romped outside in a light rain.
So what is there to learn about university innovation at an animal rescue? Plenty.
Animal lovers often turn to Gandhi who said "the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" and there is certainly truth to the notion of measuring the success of a community by the way it treats its most vulnerable members. But in the realm of university innovation, an organization like HALO offers more lessons to be learned.
"I believe the best way to create systemic change in your community is to focus on a particular geographic area and collaborate with all agencies involved to best utilize your collective resources in addressing the issues at hand," says president and CEO of HALO, Heather Allen. "In this way, there is less duplication of effort and therefore less waste. This collaboration leaves an organization like HALO free to focus on animals who aren't ready for adoption by the local shelters, while other organizations can target puppy mills, dog fighting and proper pet ownership."
Ideas such as these lead to the kind of social innovation for which President Obama continues to advocate. The joining of altruistic efforts and resources for the betterment of our communities is something in which ASU has a vested interest and is something community organizations like HALO have much to teach us about.
"ASU offers the ability to provide its students and faculty participation that is a bit unique to your average volunteer," Allen goes on to say. "General volunteers are great and we always need them, but the need for educated individuals with marketing, business, writing and PR backgrounds is immense. These are needs you can't hand over to a general volunteer, as sometimes their desire to help doesn't meet the requirements of the project at hand.
"It seems like ASU could help with this by helping to direct students to specific projects with specific time commitments. This would give us the ability to train them, realizing the more time they can commit, the more training we can give them. This would also help us get the help we need, but can't otherwise afford. And it would be a great help to students who are interested in real-life experience. For example, if a student were to head up an event, he or she would be able to see event management from start to finish and be able to appreciate everything it takes to get an idea off the ground and running."
Student volunteering is a tradition nearly as old as the university, itself. But Allen describes a different type of volunteering, one that involves more than the mere presence of an able body on a Saturday afternoon. ASU's service learning opportunities are working to address this need by collaborating with community organizations and creating varied opportunities for ASU students to learn and grow via community engagement.
But these opportunities tend to be structured to meet the rhythm of the university, not the community, making collaboration difficult and responsiveness from the university to immediate community needs nearly impossible. Compounding the issue is curriculum that, by its very nature, allows little room for the acquisition of knowledge gained outside classroom walls—especially when this knowledge doesn't always align easily with scholarly research. If innovation is the "carrying out of new combinations," what new combinations would be necessary for the university to better balance the needs of its students with its commitment to our communities?
"I believe everyone has a responsibility to create positive change in their communities and ASU is no exception," Allen says. "As the definition of a non-profit agency explains, we are created by the people for the people. We are doing the work of the community for the community, fueled by their dollars, doing the work they feel is needed. When it comes right down to it, the ultimate decision on how efforts are spent in our community is decided by the members of the community, itself. This is most clearly evidenced in where they put their financial support and time commitments. Fortunately, there are enough people in this world with enough different interests that the areas of need have advocates across the board."
So how are decisions like this made at the university? Who determines where we focus our energies, how we spend our time? If university innovation truly has the ability to become a "basis for cultural change," then how do we shape this potential and to what ultimate outcomes?
University innovation is a complex concept that all of us at ASU need to address. As we continue to transform ourselves into this "New American University"—one that responds, rather than reacts to the issues facing society today and as this transformation leads us into the hazy realm of "university innovation," then fully understanding its potential to impact society positively is something for all of us to explore.

Hi to all
Im new to this thread so please be careful with me.
I just watched a film called "The Adjustment Bureau" based on a Philip K Dick novel of a similar name.
I was sat wondering about the film when a couple of things caught my attention, mainly that the bureau bears an unnatural resemblance to the History Monks who are always making little adjustments here and there and even talk about resetting the system which is mentioned in the movie and i think Thief of TIme (i dont know about the PKD book as i haven't read it yet.).
I also noticed that "The Chairman" is referred to as "The Old Man" a line you always see in Discworld about Lu Tze especially from Vimes.
I just wondered if this was a little nod to the PKD book, and if anyone knew if this was the case.
Thanks in advance to any info anyone can give me.

Saving Walkable, Bikeable Streets
Our friends at Smart Growth America have launched a campaign to "Stop the House Assault on Walkable Neighborhoods."
In an email, SGA's Online Communications Director Alex Dodds writes:
"Over the past month, members of Congress have been negotiating details of the federal transportation bill. Now, members of the House of Representatives have proposed allowing states to opt out of a program to let communities make it safer to walk to public transportation, revitalize a Main Street or create bike trails for families.
Stand up for walkable streets: click here to send a letter to your members of Congress.
The House proposal would eliminate the small amount of money going directly to metropolitan areas, and would let state-level leaders decide whether communities ever see a dime of this funding. The move is slap in the face of city councils, mayors, and county leaders from across the country on both sides of the aisle who are creating the great neighborhoods so many Americans already know and love.
Local voices should have a say in transportation planning: ask Congress to support the Cardin-Cochran provision.
Members of the Senate involved in the negotiations have already proposed a bipartisan version of the bill and can still push back against this attack – but they need to hear from you. Emailing your members of Congress is easy and only takes a few minutes, but could have a huge impact on walkable streets for years to come. Click here to send a letter to your members of Congress today."
CNU encourages our members to join the above campaign and support the Cardin-Cochran amendment to secure local control of funds for safe, vibrant, valuable streets.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
City opts for some fancier lighting on N. Federal; no trees for now
Feb 26, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff Writer
Amenities for the North Federal Boulevard reconstruction project in Riverton have been selected.
After incorporating input from the North Federal Boulevard Planning Committee, planning experts and the general public, the Riverton City Council decided in favor of decorative lights from Main Street to Sunset Drive, a water line for future tree plantings, and wider sidewalks.
No new trees will be part of the initial rebuild.
Now that the council has decided on the options, the city will seek funding. To avoid impacting the city's budget, city staff will seek grants.
"Grants will be pursued actively by city staff on what you choose," public services director Bill Urbigkit told the council and mayor on Feb. 19.
If no grant funding can be secured, the plans can be changed with approval from the mayor and city council.
Urbigkit reminded the council that many options were envisioned when improving Main Street in 2004 but not all were carried through due to lack of funding.
"This gives us guidance on how to proceed," Urbigkit said.
In 2014, the Wyoming Department of Transportation is set to begin its own improvements on the sidewalks and utilities in conjunction with a full reconstruction of the busy commercial street. The city has the opportunity to add enhancements to the basic plan at its own expense.
Looking forward to the possibilities for funding options, Riverton Mayor Ron Warpness agreed that the decisions the council made would still come with ample time to be changed before the project actually begins.
"We have a year to work on the funding for this," he said.
The council considered extending the decorative lights farther north to the Webbwood Road intersection, but the mayor was the only one voting for that option. The majority of the council voted for the decorative lights stopping at Sunset Drive and the rest to be "cobra head" lights, similar to those already in place.
Benches, trash containers and colored sidewalks also were considered, but none got enough votes to be recommended.
The water line installation would permit trees to be planted along the route in the future.
Urbigkit also said that for many grants, resolutions can be presented to the council to approve or not approve before the city applies for the money.

Cars parking in the slanted parking spaces on South Main Street in front of Main Bowl have apparently been violating state and local code for some time.
Indiana state code permits only parallel parking along state highways, except where local ordinances allow otherwise, as Columbia City does downtown, but only along the courthouse square.
LARWILL - The town's 2011 budget has been established and was approved by council members Thursday evening in the amount of $94,619.
"Only increases made for 2011 were outlook of possibly having construction or de-construction of a home and at least $9,000 for any other expenses which may arise," clerk-treasurer Renee Sills said. "We would have to use the money that is intended for the capital outlay and rainy day funds."
The owners of the property in southwest Whitley County from which more than a dozen neglected horses were removed last week were arrested Wednesday and charged with neglect of a vertebrate animal for the second time in six years.
James and Cynthia Mullins will appear in court Monday to face one count each of felony neglect of a vertebrate animal. Thirteen starved horses and ponies were removed from their property on West County Road 200 South on Aug. 4.
In 2004, several malnourished horses were removed from the same property.
Two more businesses have signed on to lease space in Columbia City's Towne & Country Shopping Center beginning this fall, one a retail store that's new to the area and the other an employment service center that's opening at a new location.
Sentry Properties has announced that Aaron's will open in the 7,600 square foot store between Papa John's and Fashion Bug. Aaron's specializes in lease ownership and retailing of office furniture, consumer electronics and home appliances.
A home can be hard to come by and harder to hang on to in current economic times. If your resources are limited, and/or if you have particular challenges, Whitley Crossings Neighborhood Corporation exists to help you find affordable housing.
For folks willing to partner with Whitley Crossings to maintain responsibility of their home and themselves; participate in learning about personal finances, home maintenance, and being a good neighbor; and focus on like goals for home ownership, Whitley Crossings may be the vehicle for them to reach that goal.

This weekend the MWEB GameZone Ladders for the Black Ops 2 GiB Pro-Am matches play out on Saturday 6 July.
The GiB (Gamers In Beta) program is an initiative by the MWEB Gamezone team to help improve the quality of the South African competitive scene by introducing 'training officers' from the top eight finishing teams in the Autumn Mad Catz (PS3) and Razer (Xbox 360) Ladders, to eight teams that finished outside of the top eight and who are keen to learn and improve their game.
While the round robin phase of the program was not without its teething issues, the teams and their respective coaches must be applauded for putting in the time and effort and the support and enthusiasm shown is a sign of great things to come from the South African eSports community.
After (almost) seven matches each, the teams finished in the following positions in the ladder. Three teams tied in second place and they were placed based on the number of rounds won.
The eight teams will play each other on Saturday 6 July from 15h00, and the matches will be hosted from MWEB's Mcave and select matches will be streamed live via MWEB and Twitch. If you're really good, you may even hear the soothing voice of Holden ZA.
The teams will also play this portion of the program without the help of their coaches and will need to put into practice all the tips and information that they have received in the last few weeks.
Quarter Finals: 15h00 – Liquid Gaming vs Crazy Arabians 15h00 – Corrupt Minions vs SYFG 15h00 - 21cT Deathwalkers vs Orion Gaming 15h00 – Hi 5 Sigma vs RA5
Semi Finals: 16h00 – Game 1 16h00 – Game 2
Finals: 17h00 – 3rd and 4th Playoff 17h00 - Final
Good luck to the teams, and another big shout out to all who got involved in the program. Thank you.
We would love to hear the thoughts of those that participated in the program to find out what they thought worked or didn't work, and what they feel can be done to improve the program. Please feel free to comment on the MWEB Gamezone Forums, or if you feel more comfortable talking privately, drop Zombie Dredd an email at email@example.com
A number of issues have been noted already and will be implemented both in future GiB programs and even ladder events.
