HURT: Bama recruits needs, not just big names
It's the one day on the college football calendar when Nick Saban can't win - even if he always wins on that day.
Such is the paradox of Alabama football recruiting these days. The Crimson Tide annually has a top-five recruiting class under Saban, according to analysts who study such things.
More years than not in the Saban Times, Alabama has finished No. 1 when all the stars are calculated and the endless Sea of Hyperbole is navigated.
Then Alabama takes those classes and wins BCS titles which, among other gratifications, make all those recruiting analysts seem wise.
But that cycle of success has now brought unattainable expectations. Or, as Saban put it at his Wednesday press conference, "everyone worries about the 40 kids we didn't get (when) we only have so many spots to get them."
Hence, what some people are calling the best recruiting class by anyone in college football since 2002 is simultaneously not enough for some people who can't stand the thought there simply isn't any way to win a recruiting war 49-0. The opposition always scores, too.
Saban seems to have once again done what he actually sets out to do when recruiting begins (and 2014 recruiting has already begun). He has signed a full complement of players who meet the fairly stringent physical and psychological requirements he sets for the Alabama program these days.
Every program takes risks at the very high end of the talent spectrum, but Alabama takes fewer than most these days, because it isn't necessary. Would Saban rather have offensive tackle Brandon Hill report at less than 406 pounds? Sure. Hill has dropped 16 pounds, probably by eliminating entire galaxies from his diet.
Would he rather have linebacker Reuben Foster commit quietly rather than create chaos? Sure, but the coach noted that the same eagerness to please that made it hard for Foster to say no to anyone also makes him an avid competitor.
As far as the structure of the class, nothing is left to chance. It doesn't have to be.
Saban doesn't have to take four of the top 10 rated running back prospects in America because they have "four stars" and no one at another position wants to come. If Alabama takes four running backs, it is because Saban wants four.
Two backfield returnees are coming off season-ending injuries (as is one of the signees, Tyren Jones). Eddie Lacy leaves, and that means a lot of work will be available for someone because Alabama will gladly use five players at the position.
In another year, the focus may be on more offensive linemen, or more receivers, or more linebackers. Rest assured, if that happens, someone will complain because the Crimson Tide "didn't sign enough big-name backs."
But, since Saban didn't leave for Cleveland or Dallas or any other NFL destination - scuttling a sixth straight year of rumors - long-range building goes on. It goes on regardless of what happens elsewhere in the Southeastern Conference, where lots of other great prospects signed with other schools Wednesday. It goes on despite people for whom No. 1 isn't good enough unless it is a shutout.
Alabama will win many games with Wednesday's signees, and maybe another BCS title or two. This class is mirth and good enough - even if some people feel it isn't quite enough for them.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting, the Yeomanry, properly known as the Yeomanry League, is a political state of the Flanaess.
History[edit source]
Geography[edit source]
The modern Yeomanry is located in the southwestern portion of the Flanaess. It is nestled entirely within a broad basin bounded by the Jotens to the north, the Crystalmist Mountains to the west and south, and the Little Hills to the east. The valley passage between the Little Hills and the Tors leads directly into the Hool Marshes. A long cave system know as the Passage of Slerotin tunnels under the Hellfurnaces from the town of Dark Gate in the Yeomanry, finally emerging over 200 miles away into the Sea of Dust.
As of 591 CY, the most populous towns are Loftwick (pop. 8,400), Longspear (pop. 7,700), Farvale (pop. 4,400), North Reach (pop. 3,700), and Westburn (pop. 2,500).
People[edit source]
Population[edit source]
As of 591 CY, the population of the Yeomanry totaled 305,900 persons, almost 80% being humans of Suel and Oeridian descent. Halflings (predominatly Stouts) make up the next largest group (9%), followed by elves (5%), dwarves (3%), and gnomes (2%), while half-elves and half-orcs make up the remainder of the population (at 1% each).
Religion[edit source]
The most popular deities among the Yeomanry's citizens are Phaulkon, Heironeous, Allitur, Fortubo, Fharlanghn, Trithereon, Zilchus, Delleb, Joramy, Norebo, Kord, the halfling pantheon, and the dwarven pantheon.
Languages[edit source]
The most widely-spoken languages in the Yeomanry include Common, Keolandish, Halfling, and Elvish.
Government[edit source]
The Yeomanry is a democratic republic ruled by His Steadfastness, Marius Lindon the Freeholder, Spokesman for the Yeomanry League. The Freeholder is an elected official; all adult citizens who have performed military service for the state, or are gainfully employed, have the right to vote, regardless of race or gender.
The national capital is Loftwick.
Administrative Divisions[edit source]
The state is divided into five high districts consisting of the largest towns and their governed domains, and thirty-one low districts (made up of the more rural areas and their scattered villages).
Heraldry[edit source]
The Yeomanry's coat of arms is blazoned thus: Argent, three spears pilewise meeting in point gules.
Economy[edit source]
Resources[edit source]
The Yeomanry is noted for producing a variety of foodstuffs, cloth, silver, and above-average quality gems.
Currency[edit source]
The Yeomanry's standard coinage consists of the gold freegold (gp), electrum halfgold (ep), silver silver (sp), and copper common (cp).
Transportation[edit source]

Selene and Endymion, Gerard de Lairesse, c. 1680
The chaste goddess of the moon, Selene (or Diana), is in love with the shepherd Endymion. Only at night when he is asleep does she quietly creep down to him, accompanied by Cupid, whose torch symbolizes burning love. This painting was (appropriately) hung in Mary Stuart's bedchamber in Soestdijk Palace, for Lairesse felt that the function and decoration of a room should correspond.


text: How do you prefer your signature guitars (Grissom, Ori, Santana, etc)... Signed by it's namesake or not? FOR: I had a DGT that was signed on the back of the headstock by David. I liked that a lot. AGAINST: I have seen other cool guitars signed on the top of the body and the 1st thing that came to mind was "I wonder how easily that will come off?"

I didn't get to go the beach as often as my record high last year. I went "only" eight times this year. At least I didn't get the massive jellyfish stings from the previous Summer season.
I got a tipoff about a picturesque place located not too far from my favourite beach.
This one's called Morito beach. Because it requires a bus from the train station, it's a much more relaxed affair than Zushi's crowds. Being past the end of "swimming season" (end of August), is another reason the beach was practically deserted. Except for a photo shoot that was a nice extra surprise. Thank you.. really.
There are two parts to the beach split by a shrine. The first part is a fairly small patch of beach with a nice little man-made "jetty" made of blocks. The water was pretty clear. I could see quite a lot of fish and baby crabs scurrying along the wet blocks.
Just around the corner I was surprised by a nice stone beach which looked even better. In the distance there's a "floating" torii gate. Here the water was clear enough for some decent snorkeling. I wish I'd brought my mask!
With a slight fear brought on by last year's "attack" I stayed close to the shallows in my inflatable ring with a nicely balanced chu-hi to relax comfortably.
This is definitely one secret beach worth coming back to. I hope it stays this way. In the evening it was possible to see Mt Fuji.

The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association on Friday shared details on its proposed execution-with-diligence standard for municipal trading.
The proposal follows the industry group's initial proposal to the self-regulatory organization Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) in June 2013 that an execution-with-diligence standard be applied to trades in municipal securities, which is a higher standard for dealers to meet than what is currently in place, according to SIFMA.
A working group of SIFMA members developed the standard following the release of the 165-page July 2012 SEC Report on the Municipal Securities Market. The industry group says an "overwhelming majority of members of SIFMA's Municipal Securities Division" approved it.
"SIFMA's proposal moves the industry forward in a robust way that further enhances standards so that customers receive fair and reasonable prices," said David Cohen, managing director and associate general counsel of the industry group, in a statement. "The proposal recognizes the unique characteristics of the municipal market and would strengthen regulation in a manner consistent with the way the market operates."
Because muni bonds are not traded on a central exchange and do not have a central aggregator of quotes, the execution standard in the municipal market "cannot mirror that for equities," SIFMA says. "The municipal securities market also has fundamental differences from other debt markets, including its diverse and fragmented nature, small securities trade sizes and far less frequent trading than corporate bonds."
In general, SIFMA says that it supports efforts that would improve trade-execution standards. Since there is not one path for dealers to take for execution with diligence, the industry group says, its members have proposed a principles-based rule.
The SIFMA proposal resembles the approach taken by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an independent regulatory body, to corporate fixed-income securities. It seeks to define the muni bond market as one that includes brokers, dealers and municipal securities dealers known to trade particular securities, and it would require periodic review of trading counterparties, a new regulatory requirement.
For the proposal, SIFMA says it is encouraging the MSRB to amend its Rule G-18 to reflect an "execution-with-diligence" concept of execution. The industry group also is asking the MSRB to consider "the short-term and long-term costs and potential benefit of any rulemaking before formally proposing any changes."
According to the MSRB's website, its board of directors met this Wednesday through Friday to discuss the proposed consolidation of Rules G-18 and G-30 to create one new rule on fair pricing and other issues.
At the meeting, the MSRB board says it agreed to take "a two-step approach" to clarifying, and potentially expanding, the fair pricing obligations of dealers.
"First, it agreed to consolidate into a new rule municipal securities dealers' obligations related to fair pricing outlined in a number of existing rules and interpretations," the organization explained in a press release issued Friday. Also, the board will seek public comment "on condensing relevant requirements described in MSRB Rule G-30 on fair pricing, MSRB Rule G-18 on agency transactions and interpretations to MSRB Rule G-17 on fair dealing."
The groups adds that it is going to publish "a concept release on the merits of requiring municipal securities dealers to take specific steps to obtain the best price for investors buying and selling municipal securities."
In addition, the MSRB plans to seek public comment "on whether such a standard is necessary for the municipal market, the benefits that would be attained, as well as on the costs of establishing a more structured approach for documenting how dealers satisfy their existing obligation to obtain a fair price for investors."
"Although there appears to be growing acceptance to applying certain best execution-like principles to our market, the Board looks forward to gathering broad public input in order to be as fully informed as possible before making any specific recommendations," MSRB Chair Jay Goldstone said in a statement.
Last month, the MSRB warned investors to be aware of the terms of certain types of direct-pay municipal bonds to better understand if they are affected by the federal budget sequestration. It also alerted broker-dealers and municipal securities dealers of their customer protection obligations under MSRB rules in connection with customer transactions relating to direct-pay bonds.

Iranian Government Arrests Christian Pastor and Closes His Church
Iranian law does not recognize or protect members of Protestant Christian groups or some Catholic Christians.
WASHINGTON — The pastor of a Pentecostal church in Iran was arrested last week during a religious service, and the church has now been closed by government officials, according to news reports.
"These incidents appear to be an attempt to stop worship services from being conducted in Farsi, the language of the majority of Iranians," said George Wood, general superintendent of the Assemblies of God in the United States.
He explained to BosNewsLife, a Central European Christian news service, that such worship services "are allowed in Armenian, a minority language that most Iranians do not speak or even understand."
The Central Assemblies of God church in Tehran was closed on May 27 following the arrest of Pastor Robert Asserian during a service held at the church six days earlier. Members of his congregation said they do not know where he is being held.
"Before going to the church, authorities raided Pastor Asserian's home, where they confiscated a computer and several books," Wood said.
"Then, they found Pastor Asserian at the church leading the prayer service, immediately arrested him and announced the church's imminent closure."
Asserian is the latest in a series of Christian pastors to be arrested and detained in Iran. While Iranian law offers some protections for Chaldean Catholic and Armenian Christians, it does not recognize or protect members of Protestant Christian groups or other kinds of Catholic Christians.
Pastor Saeed Abedini, a United States citizen, was arrested in September 2012 and received an eight-year sentence in Iran's Evin prison. According to family members, he has been brutally beaten and denied medical care.
In addition, Pastor Behnam Irani is being held in Ghezel Hesar Prison, near the capital of Iran, where recent reports indicate that his health is deteriorating.
Another Christian pastor, Yousef Nadarkhani, was imprisoned in Iran for converting away from Islam. He spent three years in prison and received a death sentence before being released amid mounting international pressure.
Religious freedom and human-rights groups are now seeking to raise similar awareness and pressure on behalf of the other imprisoned pastors.
A petition to the White House has been launched on behalf of Irani, while a social-media campaign is under way to support Abedini.

Few game soundtracks are flawless: You may have a couple of standout hits, but chances are you're going to have a couple of stinkers as well. One possible exception, however, is Katamari Damacy.
The first two Katamari soundtracks are almost perfect, ranking in as some of the most eclectic and vibrant music to ever be featured in any game. Even as the franchise became more and more rehashed and it's creator, Keita Takahashi, moved on to do other things, the music was still well above most of what gaming has to offer.
This week on the Kotaku Mixtape we look at weird and wonderful the music of the Katamari series. I also included a few remixes from some of the later games that some Katamari Fans might have missed.
Katamari On The Rocks - Yu Miyake
Lonely Rolling Star - Yoshihito Yano
Baby Universe - Hiroshi Okubu & Maki Nomiya (of Pizzicato 5)

1st off, I'm still figururing out the links on my new computer, so bear with me. You can cut and copy the links or I'm also going to put them up on Monday again from the computer that I know I can work links on… Now onto the good stuff…..
I pretty much had the BEST time ever shooting with Kymberli of Webbed Foot Photography. (http://www.webbedfootphotography.com/). She's so fun and creative, and her and I were just two peas in a pod. From the moment I met her I knew it was going to be super fun to hang out, and she has the best ideas! Sometimes we'd catch ourselves just walking and talking and forgetting to take pictures, which was totally nice! Even Claude was there. I wanted to shoot you over to her blog (http://www.kymberliq.blogspot.com/) to see what she said about the shoot and to see 10 of the other pictures, but let me tell you, she works serious wonders with a camera.
I can't wait to see them all! I am so happy and excited. Tomorrow is my 13 miler. Wahoo.
Anyways, I am amazed and grateful for her! She rocks! Thanks so much Kymberli!!

Why is it that plod when they get it wrong will often go to extreme lengths to try and justify what they did? Oh I'm sure we only get to read about the cases that go really wrong (well some of them) and not the many that go to plan. Still in this case a mistake if such it was could have been corrected on the day, not 8 months down the line.
Mail. (usual caveats)
A teenage girl with autism was arrested and hauled before the courts because police mistakenly assumed she was drunk.
Despite being completely sober, 17-year-old Melissa Jones spent ten hours in a police cell, was finger-printed and had her DNA taken.
She was charged with being drunk and disorderly, forced to appear in court and became suicidal while waiting eight months for her case to go to trial.
Last week, however, prosecutors finally realised they had got it wrong and agreed to drop the case against her.
Miss Jones's ordeal began shortly before midnight on June 16 last year when she and a friend went to a shop near her home in Edge Hill, Liverpool, to buy some Coca-Cola.
Another customer, a drunken woman, became aggressive when the assistant refused to serve her, and attacked Miss Jones and her friend when they intervened.
Both girls were stamped on and suffered severe bruising.
When police arrived the attacker had fled, and Miss Jones was crying and hysterical. Despite her protestations, police assumed she had been drinking and arrested her.
'At the police station, a doctor confirmed she hadn't been drinking, but still the police tried to pursue her through the courts.
Other than being a salutary lesson in not intervening, you have to wonder why the police ignored a doctors evidence that the young lady wasn't drunk. Even at the end though the CPS only dropped the case because they had insufficient evidence to prove she was drunk, not because they had it wrong.
The police even had the nerve to try and get her to admit her guilt by a £60 fixed penalty fine rather than accept the evidence that the young lady had autism and was not drunk at all.
Don't get me wrong here, I know it isn't easy being a plod and that they do get an awful lot of crap thrown them during their work, but really at times they simply do not help themselves. I'm still a bit mystified as to why they arrested her in the first place as she was the one who'd been assaulted. But have ran across the arrest first sort it out mentality from other reports of police actions in recent years to know just how some of them operate.
Now I realise we only have the mothers statement that there was a doctor, but the lack of evidence proving she was drunk does suggest that a doctor was there, after all, it's a simple test to prove you have been taking alcohol.
Perhaps the length of time was adjudged punishment enough for involving the police?
Either way, I doubt she'll trust them any more or get involved in future.

Libya: Thousands fleeing Libya unable to cross border
TitleLibya: Thousands fleeing Libya unable to cross border
According to new estimates, up to 147,000 people have now fled Libya to Egypt, Tunisia and Niger. More than 25,000 people have reportedly crossed from Libya into Tunisia over the past two days, but thousands of people remain stuck on the Libyan side of the border, not allowed to cross and stranded without access to food, health, water and sanitation. This situation has created a bottleneck on the Tunisian side of the border due to lack of onward transportation.
A joint United Nations mission is being organized to carry out a humanitarian needs assessment in eastern Libya. "We are seeing terrible photographs on our television screens as people are fleeing, but we need to have a proper sense of what the needs are," said ERC Amos at a press briefing on 28 February 2011.
Eastern Libya, including Benghazi, remains relatively calm and more aid agencies are entering. However, IFRC has indicated that there may still be some pockets of insecurity in eastern Libya, and Western Libya is still inaccessible to aid agencies.
Primary concerns are getting access particularly to Tripoli and the neighbouring area as well as ensuring that countries do not close their borders to those fleeing Libya. Meanwhile, reports from border areas show shortages in food, petrol and medical supplies.
The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) today allocated $5 million for people affected by the violence.

What Will $200,000 Buy?
Take the new home you eyed five years ago but could not afford because your budget didn't allow you to go over $300,000. Add stone countertops, taller ceilings and other goodies. Welcome to your new home. And you still haven't spent more than 300 grand.
The housing downturn forced builders to rethink home designs and price points to compete with foreclosures and resale properties. The average new-home price in the Midwest is $232,800, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
The low-hanging fruit of the housing market, homes in the $200,000s have square footage, amenities and finishes that would have hiked them past the $300,000 mark a few years ago. They are sized for today's buyer, who wants some luxuries but doesn't want the utility bills and real estate taxes that come with extra-large homes.
"I got a lot for my money," said Eydie Glassman, who bought a $270,000 Lexington Homes town house in July after decades of renting. "The interest rate is low, and I get the tax breaks of owning instead of renting."
Renting worked while Glassman was in the Air Force and in sales because she moved often, she said. But after she became an attorney and knew her job would stay put, it was time to overcome her "fear of a 30-year mortgage commitment," she said.
The price of Glassman's town house at Lexington Park in Des Plaines included such upgrades as hardwood flooring, ceramic tiles in the bathrooms and a fireplace. The builder paid the closing costs. The 1,605 square feet is plenty of room for Glassman and her dogs, she said.
"Now I'm encouraging co-workers to buy," she said.
A few Metra stops to the north in Palatine is R. Franczak & Associates' development, The Heritage of Palatine. The remaining two-bedroom, two-bath condos start in the mid-$200,000s. Prices include hardwood flooring, granite countertops, balconies and heated indoor parking. For $279,900, you can buy the 1,518-square-foot penthouse, which includes black-cherry flooring and French doors.
City dwellers can buy a one-bedroom loft at Van Buren Lofts in Chicago for $239,900. The historic building, once home to a paper mill, includes a fitness center and common roof deck.
In Plainfield, attached ranch homes at the Villas at Fox Run by Epcon Communities include six inventory homes ranging from $169,990 to $249,990. The development includes attached and stand-alone homes, with exterior maintenance covered. They share a clubhouse and swimming pool.
For buyers 55 and older, eight condos are for sale at Belle Plaine Commons in Chicago. Add a garage space and you are still under $200,000 for a one-bedroom unit, or slightly more for units with dens. Amenities include 9-foot ceilings, appliances and tiled bathrooms.
M/I Homes has developments in Aurora, Carol Stream, Hanover Park, Naperville, St. Charles, Streamwood and Winfield. Prices range from the mid-$100,000s to low $200,000s.
The town homes typically include two or three bedrooms, 21/2 baths, ceramic tile in the master baths, finished lower levels per plan, 9-foot first-floor ceilings, kitchen islands and two-car garages.
Additional space
Like many homeowners ready to move up from a multifamily unit to a larger single-family house, Sarah and Brendon Coari could not sell their town house. The solution: They bought a house from William Ryan Homes, which partners with a property manager that arranged for their town house to become a rental.
"If the market improves, and we can sell it for the price we want, we'll sell," said Sarah. "In the meantime, the rent covers the mortgage and real estate taxes, and it helps with our income taxes."
The Coaris' new house at Rockwell Place in Lakemoor gives them the 2,200 square feet, plus basement, they wanted.
"Now we have four bedrooms, so we can keep this house after we have a family," said Sarah. Their new backyard suits their dogs, she said.
For $215,000, the Coaris got standard features such as 9-foot ceilings and granite bathroom counters, plus upgrades such as a kitchen island, surround sound in the family room and a concrete driveway.
At William Ryan Homes' Lakewood Prairie community in Joliet, houses start at $170,990 and include amenities such as sodded yards and brick fronts.
Other single-family developments in the $200,000s include J. Lawrence's family-friendly subdivisions in Channahon, Joliet, Lynwood, Minooka, North Aurora and Wadsworth. For less than $300,000, you can get as much as 3,000 square feet (depending on location) and extras such as sunrooms and lofts.
In Romeoville, Beechen & Dill Homes offers single-family houses with up to five bedrooms and 3,000 square feet for under $300,000. The two-story and ranch models are attracting a mix of buyers, said the builder, including young families and singles. Like the Coaris, many are renting out their previous homes instead of selling them.
In Lockport, Hartz Homes is building the 55-plus Lago Vista community, which includes single-family houses and town houses that start at $199,900. The largest is the 2,100-square-foot, detached Del Ray. The development has a clubhouse and swimming pool.
For the homebuilder, this is the time to do what is needed to stay in the game. For the buyer who can save up for a down payment and pass muster with a lender, red carpets await.
"They met my expectations with communication on this process."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers are sponsoring a measure to make retirement plans available to private sector workers who are not currently covered by employer-sponsored plans.
Sen. James Rosapepe, Sen. Richard Madaleno and Del. Tom Hucker are sponsoring legislation. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning before the Senate Pensions Subcommittee.
A press conference has been scheduled for noon Thursday to talk about the measure. The lawmakers will be joined by SEIU, AARP and Maryland Business, a small business advocacy organization.
Under the bill, Maryland private sector employers who do not currently offer a retirement plan to their employees would be required to offer employee-funded retirement plans. A state-sponsored, nonprofit plan would be available to employees in the firms.

Pro Cycling Manager – Tour de France 2009 is the perfect mix between management and sport simulation. It puts you in the shoes of the general manager of one of the 65 official cycling teams and asks you to handle everyday aspects of this position. Choice of the teams, transfers, trainings, finances, gear or searches for new talent, many various missions are required to position the most competitive team on the starting line.
During the 180 races playable in real time 3D, you intervene directly to guide your cyclists. It's up to you to define the best strategies and tactics to win the race.
The management aspect of Pro Cycling Manager and its famous carrier mode offer many novelties and improvements for a richer game experience. General Managers can now freely create their own team, choose their secondary sponsors as well as identify and target new recruits thanks to an ingenious point system. They will also benefit from novelties like never-before-seen, customizable objectives, a new way to manage finances and a more realistic transfer AI… all these elements allow the game to be deeper and richer than any other.
The race is also packed with innovations. It has a new and more ergonomic game interface, and an improved AI to allow more realistic-than-ever behaviors from the cyclists. An amazing effort has been put into the legs' screenplay and rendering. The result has never been so beautiful and immersive. Water, vegetation, spectators, animations are some of the elements that have been reworked with a concern for realism in order to offer nicer and more beautiful stages to the players.
Last year's acclaimed track cycling mode is back: it includes 4 new explosive events that are discoverable in the game's new velodromes. Scratch race, flying 200m time trial, points race and omnium join last year's time trial, keirin and elimination to bring hours of intense gameplay.
Pro Cycling Manager – Tour de France 2009 will be released on PC in June 2009.

12 Years a Slave: Man's (and Woman's) Inhumanity to Humanity
Recently I joined members of my family to view the new movie "Twelve Years a Slave" directed by Steve McQueen and starring Brad Pitt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o, and an overall stunningly talented cast. Warning: film contains visually graphic images, violence, some nudity. While I actually wasn't emotionally prepared to see the movie, I am convinced that it should be considered an essential finale to an erstwhile trio of "Lincoln", "Django" and now "Twelve Years a Slave".
This could be considered an unlikely combination, these three movies. Yet one could argue that if you see all three of them together, they totally obliterate the cushion of romanticism that movies like "Gone with the Wind" have used to soft sell what is hard core cruelty of one group of human beings towards another. Let us never forget that families are torn apart by racism, reproductive genocide and sexual perversion; together what I term to be the "three headed monster." All three agents have been at work in America for many years.
To say that the movie "Twelve Years a Slave" is brutally graphic is to minimize the shocking scenes that stun the heart, soul and spirit. In my prolife vocation, showing graphic images of abortion victims are part of what I do. Every time I see a woman on a gurney after a botched abortion, I shudder. Every time I see a picture of an aborted baby, my heart thumps and I feel sick. It was all rather eerie in a way, as I experienced these same sensations as I sat glued to my cushy leather theater chair watching "Twelve Years a Slave."
I was so relieved to experience the heart of the abolitionists that was there in three of the movies mentioned above. If not for that, I would have left the theaters after viewing each a very angry woman. Yet human compassion arose victorious. We must always pray and give thanks that truth crushed to earth will rise again. God's truth and grace will always win.
In just a few months, America will observe the 50th Anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights. The 50th anniversaries of the "I Have a Dream Speech," "The March on Washington," and the 150the Anniversary of "The Emancipation Proclamation" are now recent history. And yet the babies are not free. We are still lost in the cloudy veil of deceptive "women's rights" and "human rights" campaigns while the weakest of all human beings – the little babies in the womb and their vulnerable mothers – are being desecrated on the altars of harmful chemical and surgical "birth control" agents and abortions.
What the whips and nooses did not do to desecrate the sanctity of human life during slavery and segregation the abortion mills are doing quite effectively today. Lynching a person on a tree or in the womb brings about the same results, inhumanity towards our brothers and sisters.
There is a reason that films of this type are being produced, against the odds in some cases. God desires to stir the hearts of men and women. It is time to listen while there is still time.

Google published an update on their review policy, here is a summary of the update's content...
Policy criteria for removing reviews
We want people to get ratings, reviews, and recommendations that are relevant, helpful, and trustworthy. To protect both business owners and customers, we have systems in place that may remove individual reviews that include any of the following:
Sometimes our algorithms may flag and remove legitimate reviews in our effort to combat abuse. We know this is frustrating when it happens but believe that overall, these measures are helping everyone by ensuring that the reviews appearing on Google Places are authentic, relevant, and useful.

What do you have to say about this update?

Amen! Tom, you hit the nail on the head! Also,we have a link to a review page on our website as well as a social media business card that I have created for all departments to hand out after the sale/service has been performed!!! Original Post: December 14th
David Brondstetter, great advice to Kevin below. Thank you! Trying to find work arounds for Google rules and algorythms is ultimately futile and counterproductive. And letting 3rd parties respond to one's reviews is a bit irresponsible. Dealers, and all businesses, need to be responsible for their own reputations. It is their most valuable and potentially threatening asset.
I believe dealer review pages are a fine way to market your reviews IF they link to the actual review on a major review site. If not, they appear less than credible. Consumers are incredibly savvy today (yeah, I know, "a sucker is born every minute"). If I want to look at a business review, I don't go to the business to see what they have made available, I go to a major review site, oftentimes as shown on a search page.
It seems the old adage that there is a seat for every butt can be expanded to a vendor for every challenge or problem. I would prefer to see vendors offer Social Media CRMs that dealers can use to track their online identity and respond to and utilize online activity. And then see the dealer offer professional training for their staff in providing great customer service.
I have to stand by my earlier formula for reputation peace-of-mind.
@kevin, For sure we've seen it with Google reviews in general. As everyone knows, Google keeps tweaking their algorithm in response to perceived data integrity issues. In fact, we had some historical Google reviews data from April 2012 and use that last month to compare review count for some of our stores. What we found was a 34% reduction in Google reviews for our clients from April 2012 to November 2012. (note that April 2012 was a random date for which we just happened to have the relevant data).
But what I am referring to in the post below is the growing trend to have a 3rd party "respond" to a legitimate review. I have not heard (yet) of Google taking action against this new trend, but if history is our lesson, I am betting they will. We recommend to our clients that they respond to reviews themselves and not risk having a 3rd party company do it for them.
As I mentioned, Google is all about data integrity. Any attempt by businesses to work around it has resulted in Google "fixing" the work around. I don't blame Google. They are doing what any of us would do if we felt there was an issue compromising our product. If a dealer's cars were being tagged every night, surely they'd put security measures in place to prevent it in the future.
@Tom and @Kim have it right. Don't worry about what you cannot control. Those things that you can control, do it. We also believe that every business should have a review site out there that provides a balanced and fair representation of their customers. That's what we provide our customer. We believe businesses need to have some online content that they either own or control; otherwise, they are at the mercy of reviews sites that don't verify review status. Another thing we advocate is some level a assurance that reviews are going to be there the next day. Businesses should be using reviews for marketing and advertising. It is pretty tough to use reviews from Google, Yelp, etc as you don't know if they are going to be there the next day.
There are a number of other ways for businesses to put their best foot forward online without risking issues with their Google Reviews. It's clear that Google is emphasizing quality over quantity. So my advice for businesses is to get yourself a 3rd party review site (like SureCritic) and (as Tom's says) "stop worrying".
Kevin, I have always done this with Yelp and now with Google+. Since Google migrated reviews to Google+, I have started getting more reviews at other places such as DealerRater and Cars.com. "One and dones" don't get shown on these places so why send them?
Kim, I love the social media business card. Has anybody thought about putting review links on the back of every salesperson's business card?
@Tom, I agree, with one stipulation. I would only encourage "active Google users" to leave Google reviews, as "one and done" reviewers tend to have their reviews removed or not shown under the new algorithm update.
Anyone who wants to stop worrying about Google rules and algorythms can do four positive things:
Guaranteed peace-of-mind and word-of-mouth advertising.
@David - we have seen several competing dealers lose up to 1000 reviews as a result of the Google changes as they were using 3rd party companies to post reviews, have you not seen the same?
I wonder when Google is going to start cracking down on businesses that have outsourced responding to reviews to a 3rd party company. Just a guess that it is inevitable. When Google sees thousands of review responses for thousands of businesses that are geographically disparate coming from the same IP address, I suspect they are going to make another tweak to their algo. Why wouldn't they, Google is in the data business. The integrity of their data is paramount to their continued success. You really can't fault them for protecting their data quality. The real question is, will the delete the responses or both the response and the review?
Pretty straightforward. Thank you!
I see that now. Nevertheless, they need to also add that you must be an active Gmail user and define what that means. Thanks as always Brian for your assistance!

*= Edit
I've heard of this book a couple of years ago, but never really gave it much thought until I started thinking of making a Bao Chuan (treasure ship) in Lego. So I started doing more research and then I hit upon the website http://www.1421.tv/news.asp
I decided to have a look and even bought the book "1421 When China Discovered America", with the most compelling evidence I've heard were of those maps that European explorers later on had *used* to get to those particular places and claim to have "discovered" them.
*There's also a followup book called, "When China Discovered the World"... basically, they supposed to have went around the world.
I always wondered about who was it that charted and mapped "undiscovered" places long before they were apparently "discovered". Ever since I was still in my preteens learning about Europe's voyages of discovery and reading things like that.
*Its also interesting to note that Admiral Zheng He's nickname was "3 Jewels" or "Sin Bao" in Chinese. Funny how similar that name is to Sinbad, a legendary muslim sailor & explorer who went on voyages and adventures around the world.

- STUPID F#@KING BIRD by Aaron Posner
- Time: 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
- Location: Hainline Theatre
- Description: An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mothers generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhovs The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. Original songs composed by James Sugg draw the famously sub textual inner thoughts of Chekhovs characters explicitly to the surface. STUPID F#@KING BIRD will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.

| Coelurosaurians
Temporal range:
Late Jurassic–Present, 165–0 Ma Early Jurassic record
|Reconstructed coelurosaur skeleton, Wyoming Dinosaur Center
|Scientific classification
| Avetheropoda
| Coelurosauria
von Huene, 1914
Coelurosauria ( /sɪˌljʊərəˈs[unsupported input]iə/;Template:RefnTemplate:Refn from Greek, meaning "hollow tailed lizards") is the clade containing all theropod dinosaurs more closely related to birds than to carnosaurs.
Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only dinosaur group alive today.[4]
Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs. Philip J. Currie considers it probable that all coelurosaurs were feathered.[5] In the past, Coelurosauria was used to refer to all small theropods, although this classification has been abolished.
The studying of anatomical traits in coelurosaurs indicates that the last common ancestor had evolved the ability to eat and digest plant matter, adapting to an omnivorous diet, an ability that could be a major contributor to the clade's success. Later groups would hold on to the omnivory, while others specialized in various directions, becoming insectivorous (Alvarezsauridae), herbivorous (Therizinosauridae) and carnivorous (Tyrannosauroidea and Dromaeosauridae).[6] The group includes some of the largest (Tyrannosaurus) and smallest (Microraptor, Parvicursor) carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered. Characteristics that distinguish coelurosaurs include:
- a sacrum (series of vertebrae that attach to the hips) longer than in other dinosaurs
- a tail stiffened towards the tip
- a bowed ulna (lower arm bone).
- a tibia (lower leg bone) that is longer than the femur (upper leg bone)
- Main article: Feathered dinosaurs
Fossil evidence shows that the skin of even the most primitive coelurosaurs was covered primarily in feathers. Fossil traces of feathers, though rare, have been found in members of most major coelurosaurian lineages. Most coelurosaurs also retained scales and scutes on some portion of their bodies, particularly the feet, though some primitive coelurosaurian species are known to have had scales on the upper legs and portions of the tail as well. These include tyrannosauroids, Juravenator, and Scansoriopteryx. Fossils of at least some of these animals (Scansoriopteryx and possibly Juravenator) also preserve feathers elsewhere on the body.
Though once thought to be a feature exclusive to coelurosaurs, feathers or feather-like structures are also known in some ornithischian dinosaurs (like Tianyulong and Kulindadromeus), and in pterosaurs. Though it is unknown whether these are related to true feathers, recent analysis has suggested that the feather like integument found in ornithischians may have evolved independently of coelurosaurs.[7]
Nervous system and senses
Although rare, complete casts of theropod endocrania are known from fossils. Theropod endocrania can also be reconstructed from preserved braincases without damaging valuable specimens by using a computed tomography scan and 3D reconstruction software. These finds are of evolutionary significance because they help document the emergence of the neurology of modern birds from that of earlier reptiles. An increase in the proportion of the brain occupied by the cerebrum seems to have occurred with the advent of the Coelurosauria and "continued throughout the evolution of maniraptorans and early birds."[8]
Fossil evidence and age
A few fossil traces tentatively associated with the Coelurosauria date back as far as the late Triassic. What has been found between then and the start of the late Jurassic is fragmentary. A typical example is Iliosuchus, known only from two ilia bones in the mid Jurassic. It was a 1.5 m long carnivore from about 165 Ma (million years ago) in Oxfordshire and is tentatively assigned to the Tyrannosauroidea.
Many nearly complete fossil coelurosaurians are known from the late Jurassic. Archaeopteryx (incl. Wellnhoferia) is known from Bavaria at 155-150 Ma. Ornitholestes, the troodontid WDC DML 001, Coelurus fragilis and Tanycolagreus topwilsoni are all known from the Morrison Formation in Wyoming at about 150 Ma. Epidendrosaurus and Pedopenna are known from the Daohugou Beds in China, whose age is still being debated, but may be about 160 Ma or 145 Ma.
The wide range of fossils in the late Jurassic and morphological evidence suggests that coelurosaurian differentiation was virtually complete before the end of the Jurassic.
In the early Cretaceous, a superb range of coelurosaurian fossils (including avians) are known from the Yixian Formation in Liaoning. All known theropod dinosaurs from the Yixian Formation are coelurosaurs. Many of the coelurosaurian lineages survived to the end of the Cretaceous period (about 65 Ma) and fossils of some lineages, such as the Tyrannosauroidea, are best known from the late Cretaceous. A majority of coelurosaur groups became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, including the Tyrannosauroidea, Ornithomimosauria, Oviraptorosauria, Deinonychosauria, Enantiornithes, and Hesperornithes. Only the Neornithes (modern birds) survived, and continued to diversify after the extinction of the other dinosaurs into the numerous forms found today.
There is consensus among paleontologists that birds are the descendants of coelurosaurs. Under modern cladistic definitions, birds are considered the only living lineage of coelurosaurs. Birds are classified by most paleontologists as belonging to the subgroup Maniraptora.[9]
A portion of a tail belonging to a juvenile coelurosaur was found in 2015, inside of a piece of amber.
The phylogeny and taxonomy of Coelurosauria has been subject to intensive research and revision. For many years, Coelurosauria was a 'dumping ground' for all small theropods. In the 1960s several distinctive lineages of coelurosaurs were recognized, and a number of new infraorders were erected, including the Ornithomimosauria, Deinonychosauria, and Oviraptorosauria. During the 1980s and 1990s, paleontologists began to give Coelurosauria a formal definition, usually as all animals closer to birds than to Allosaurus, or equivalent specifiers. Under this modern definition, many small theropods are not classified as coelurosaurs at all and some large theropods, such as the tyrannosaurids, were actually more advanced than allosaurs and therefore were reclassified as giant coelurosaurs. Even more drastically, the segnosaurs, once not even regarded as theropods, have turned out to be non-carnivorous coelurosaurs related to Therizinosaurus. Senter (2007) listed 59 different published phylogenies since 1984. Those since 2005 have followed almost the same pattern, and differ significantly from many older phylogenies.
The following family tree illustrates a synthesis of the relationships of the major coelurosaurian groups based on various studies conducted in the 2010s.[10]
"Coelurosaurus" is an informal generic name, attributed to Friedrich von Huene, 1929, that is sometimes seen in lists of dinosaurs. It probably arose as a typographical error; von Huene intended to assign indeterminate remains to Coelurosauria incertae sedis, but at some point in the process of publication a revision to the text made it appear that he was creating a new generic name "Coelurosaurus" (as described by George Olshevsky in a 1999 post to the Dinosaur Mailing List). The name is undescribed and has not been used seriously, although it has appeared in works of fiction.

Libya: UN assessment mission to assess impact of attacks in eastern Libya
TitleLibya: UN assessment mission to assess impact of attacks in eastern Libya
In eastern Libya, reports were received of Government forces launching air attacks against opposition-held areas. The humanitarian impact of the attacks remains unclear. A United Nations joint rapid assessment mission, led by OCHA, is currently in eastern Libya proceeding to Benghazi to assess humanitarian needs. IOM reported that the situation on the Egypt-Libya border remains calm.
A five-member United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team has arrived in Tunisia for deployment along the Libya border.
Evacuation of third-country nationals remains a high priority. The UK has launched an operation to airlift Egyptian refugees stranded on the Libya-Tunisia border. The first flight departed from the UK on 2 March. The Government of Turkey is deploying a passenger ship and a frigate to evacuate 1,200 Egyptians from Tripoli to Alexandria. Canada will send a frigate to the Mediterranean Sea to assist efforts to evacuate its nationals from Libya. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it had evacuated 653 people from Libya, while China said that about 9,000 Chinese have arrived in China from Libya.

"Censorship" is one of the dirtiest words in the liberal lexicon; one of the worst crimes. Liberals hate it so, they often scream "Censorship!" when it isn't even happening (like a library opting not to buy a certain book).
So what explains the outrage at the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision? Which, after all, held that the government couldn't censor a political film, merely because of some corporate contributions. So the First Amendment's free speech guarantee means no one can be stopped from political advocacy. Not even businesses.
But liberals actually have a special understanding of the word "censorship." It means restricting expressions they approve of. They believe in free speech for themselves. Thus we get the political correctness Thought Police on campuses, where the mantra of "academic freedom" applies only to approved viewpoints, while dissenting voices are delegitimized, persecuted, and silenced.
Yet remember how the left sacralized the word "dissent"? They even have a magazine flaunting that title. But they love dissent only from orthodoxies they oppose; dissent from their own orthodoxies gets no protection. Lawrence Summers was actually ousted as Harvard's president for merely suggesting that one point in the politically correct catechism might be questioned. (And truthiness didn't save him.) So much for academic freedom.
Behind all this is the ugly tendency to believe opposing viewpoints reflect not merely bad ideas but bad motives. When you think the other guy is not just wrong but evil, it's but a short step to the fire. Let's not forget how many people throughout history were literally burned alive for dissent from prevailing orthodoxies. The burners too thought they were justifiably dealing with evil. And in many Muslim nations "heresy" still carries the death penalty.
Voltaire supposedly said, "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it." Today's liberals just might take him up on that.
Back to Citizens United, the principle is a good one. Whether corporations are "people" or not, they are legitimate parts of society, have legitimate interests, and legitimate rights. This should surely include freedom of speech and participation in political debate (which of course their opposite number, labor unions, have always had).
The concern is that they'll ruin democracy by buying elections. But you can't "buy" elections. Money can get your message heard, but if voters don't swallow it, you lose. Numerous candidates have spent fortunes and lost (like Michael Huffington, Arianna's ex, who blew zillions on a Senate bid and was creamed).
The fact is, there's only so much money you can spend on a campaign to good effect. An ad's fiftieth airing won't seduce voters; it will more likely annoy them.
And while it might be a problem if all the money were spent by one side, that's hardly the case. The two main parties are fairly even in this regard; they neutralize each other in raising and spending money. And the amounts are not "obscene." The billion or two spent on the presidential election is merely comparable to what L'Oreal spends advertising hair coloring. Choosing the world's top leader is at least as important.
True, the need to beg bucks from powerful interests has corrupted politicians – long before Citizens United. However, the remedy shouldn't be restricting political participation but expanding it. There should be a tax credit for campaign contributions (up to, say, $100). That would unleash a flood of citizen donations and wash out the importance of fat-cat cash. This would be a form of public campaign finance far preferable to any existing scheme. The cost to taxpayers would be more than made up (way more) by less special interest legislation. (Why don't we hear more about this simple reform? Officeholders are afraid to change a system that, for all its flaws, gets them mostly re-elected.)
But meantime, democracy is threatened far less by corporate free speech than by the idea of government power to squelch it.
No censorship! Let a hundred flowers bloom!*
* To quote Mao – a nod to my commie readers. Of course, when those flowers of divergent opinion bloomed, a lot of the bloomers were thrown in prison.

File it under "Only in Russia", authorities in the Russian city of Nizhniy Novgorod recently put up roadside billboards featuring a dummy covered in fake blood that appears to have crashed in an attempt to curb drinking and driving.
Featuring a dummy covered in fake blood that appears to have crashed through the billboards, they certainly illustrate a clear point while serving as a grim reminder to potential drunk drivers. The English translation of the Russian text attached to the billboard is roughly
"Your body could have been here".
The officials got creative when building the billboard, adding a Santa Hat and putting a steering wheel in the dummy's hands.
Although the billboards are extreme, they serve as a creative solution to a serious problem. Drunk driving is a major factor in many Russian car accidents, more so since 2003 when Russia moved the legal BAC limit from 0.00 to 0.05.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Thursday that Kevin Goodman had been named national associate director of the broker-dealer examination program in the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations.
Goodman, who's been the acting national associate director of the program since May while also serving as acting regional director and associate director for the Denver regional office, will oversee a staff of approximately 300 lawyers, accountants and examiners responsible for inspections of U.S.-registered broker-dealers.
"Kevin has excellent judgment and experience," said OCIE Director Andrew Bowden, in a statement. "As national associate director, he will work with our dedicated broker-dealer examination staff to further full compliance with the laws and fair treatment of investors by broker-dealers."
Goodman began his SEC career in 1992 as an attorney-advisor in the Los Angeles Regional Office and was promoted to branch chief, senior special counsel, and assistant director. Before coming to the SEC, he practiced corporate and securities law in the private sector. He graduated from Purdue University in 1982 with a degree in accounting and received his law degree from Indiana University in 1985.

Storming the battlements
"Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end; take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's." Jeremiah 5:10
Suggested Further Reading: Galatians 5:25-6: 5
We sometimes trust too much in evidences and good works. Ralph Erskine did not say amiss when he remarked, "I have got more hurt by my good works than my bad ones." That seems something like Antinomianism, but it is true; we find it so by experience. "My bad works," said Erskine, "Always drove me to the Saviour for mercy; my good works often kept me from him, and I began to trust in myself." Is it not so with us? We often get a pleasing opinion of ourselves; we are preaching so many times a week; we attend so many prayer meetings; we are doing good in the Sabbath-school; we are valuable deacons; important members of the church; we are giving away so much in charity; and we say, "Surely I am a child of God—I must be. I am an heir of heaven. Look at me! See what robes I wear. Have I not indeed a righteousness about me that proves me to be a child of God?" Then we begin to trust in ourselves, and say, "Surely I cannot be moved; my mountain stands firm and fast." Do you know what is the usual rule of heaven when we boast? Why the command is given to the foe—"Go up against him; take away his battlements; for they are not the Lord's." And what is the consequence? Why, perhaps God suffers us to fall into sin, and down goes self-sufficiency. Many a Christian owes his falls to a presumptuous confidence in his graces. I conceive that outward sin is not more abhorred by our God than this most wicked sin of reliance on ourselves. May none of you ever learn your own weakness by reading a black book of your own backslidings.
For meditation: If pride and boasting are listed as sins of the unbeliever (Romans 1:30; 2 Timothy 3:2), they are just as much sins when the believer falls into them. Our good works should lead others to glorify God (Matthew 5:16) and should surely have the same effect upon us.

Concert at the Palestinian National Theater in Jerusalem to raise money for Lian Barhoum's treatment. Photo by Lazar Simeonov.
Lian Barhoum, a toddler from Gaza, is suffering from a lack of the enzyme oxalate in her liver which if left untreated, will systematically destroy all the organs in her body.
The Palestine Monitor reported on her case in February 2012. Lian is currently undergoing treatment, with her parents at her side, at Haifa's Rambam Medical Center. Her disease has already caused kidney problems, and she undergoes four hours of dialysis treatment on a daily basis to help her body cope with dysfunctional kidneys. Her only hope of survival is a liver and kidney transplant carried out by a specially trained doctor from Belgium that would cost in the region of $500,000 or NIS 1,500,000. Neither the Ministries of Health from the Palestinian Authority or the Israeli government will fund her treatment.
Grassroots efforts to save her life have been initiated under the campaign name "Ashan Lian" (Save Lian). To date, they have raised only a sixth of the required funding to save her life, $67,000 or NIS 250,000, since starting funding in late January. However, they have faced many obstacles in trying to do so. At first they could not secure a bank account in order to direct the funding from donors. Every charity they approached stated that half a million dollars exceeded their bank account limit, and other organizations would not take their money without full disclosure and transparency concerning the origin of the money.
It was only recently that legal cover was established for the fundraising from the Baladna Association for Arab Youth located in Haifa.
What's more, as activist Manar Shehede states, "The fundraising efforts have so far depended on concerts and grassroots initiatives. We are still waiting on the Peres Center for Peace and the Schneider Children's Medical Center to get back in contact with us to negotiate a 30% discount on the operation."
At the time of writing however, the campaign still requires $433,000 (NIS 1,250,000) to save her life. Although she is stable, the money is still required in the next few months sooner rather than later to stop the disease spreading. Doctors at the hospital have confirmed that it will target her eyesight next.
The efforts to save her have been remarkable, if the response from larger organizations and government officials has not been so
The efforts to save her have been remarkable, if the response from larger organizations and government officials has not been so
"Obviously, the operation will not be held tomorrow, but the goal is still in front of us. We are aspiring for the best, and it is achievable to save her," says Manar.
Lian's parents have been very vocal about the incredible support they are being given, but the resolve they have had to stay with their child in a shared hospital room for over a year is unquestionably more admirable. The Israeli authorities do not permit them to stay anywhere else due to their lack of citizenship and the very fact that they are from Gaza.
In April, a concert was held at the Palestinian National Theatre in Jerusalem, featuring the singers Mira Azar and Rawan Khoury. The atmosphere in support of Lian was rousing. To give an example, the ticket fee was NIS 40, but several donors were reported to have given in excess of $500.
"We are also trying to involve schools in the campaign to raise awareness for charity events, to relay her case between the new young generation and their parents," explains Manar.
Najib Darawshy, one of the original students at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology who initiated the campaign, has led the effort in several schools. One event he organised was for the children in Jaffa city, with NIS 10,000 being raised on that day alone. A friendly Palestinian football match was also played out in support of Lian in the stadium of Umm al-Fahm.
The efforts to save her have been remarkable, if the response from larger organizations and government officials has not been so. The campaign is entering a difficult second phase, with awareness growing, but the target sum of money still very much elusive. It will be a test of Palestinian and international spirit to continue supporting Lian, keep the campaign running, and bolster her chances of survival.
The Facebook page run by students from Haifa provides contacts, ways to donate, and up-to-date information on Lian's situation.

I love making a big breakfast on Saturday mornings. Growing up my Dad always whipped up something great on the weekends, as he was the one up the earliest. Somehow I have come to expect something yummy on Saturdays. At my house, I am in charge of Saturday morning breakfast. My husband makes the bacon and I make the main dish.
This is my go to recipe. I grab a fresh loaf of Challah at the local food co-op on Fridays. This recipe feeds 2 people (with big appetites) using half the loaf. The other half goes into the freezer for next weekend! You can also use french bread or brioche, but I find Challah to be a perfect balance between the plain french bread and the too dense (and too expensive) brioche.
1/2 loaf Challah bread, or 8 - 1 inch slices
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
Butter for the pan
Cut the challah into 8, 1 inch slices. You can make them thicker if you want, but make sure to increase the cooking time.
Heat a frying pan on medium to medium high heat and put enough butter on the pan to grease it up. Make sure that your butter doesn't burn and put a little more on the pan after each round of cooking the french toast.
Dip one piece of Challah bread in the egg mixture at a time, coating each side and making sure that the mixture is soaked through the whole slice of bread. Don't leave the bread in the mixture too long, if it gets too soggy it will fall apart. Once dipped, place on the warm pan. Be sure to whisk the mixture between dipping every two or three slices or the cinnamon will rise to the top and you will get one really cinnamon-y piece.
Cook the first round of slices 3-4 minutes. Flip each piece and cook an additional 2 minutes. Make sure it is cooked all the way through - it should bounce back when you touch it. The french toast may be a bit more brown that you are used to because of the cinnamon. Once cooked, keep each slice in a warmed oven while you are cooking the next round.
I serve the french toast with vanilla yogurt and fresh berries, and of course real maple syrup. But you can top it with whatever you would like - powdered sugar, butter, maple syrup, jam...

Looks like a movie trailer.
Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea, and all contact with them is lost when the North Korean government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of nanotech-suited Delta Force operatives, and tensions quickly rise to boiling point. But when a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island, generating an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the area, the two warring factions must unite, fighting epic battles through tropical jungle, flash-frozen wastes, and finally in the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate zero-G showdown.
