Are there any existing visitor services provided by the British Museum?
I found this on their website. hope this helps. Facilities and services The Department of Prints and Drawings is devoted to serving the public interest, which it is able to do in many different ways. The most important ways are through the exhibition programme, by which selections from the collection are put on show for periods of three or four months, and through the Study Room, where any visitor can ask to see any object in the collection by appointment (there is only one item that is restricted on the grounds of its extreme fragility). Study room Object identification Library You can find the department on the fourth floor of the Museum, next to the Prints and Drawings gallery, (Room 90). Other public services: We do our best to answer public enquiries by post, fax or email. Since we do not have the staff or expertise to answer all possible questions, we can only cope with enquiries that are about areas or objects that are covered in our own area of collecting. Group visits We can help teachers who wish to teach in front of objects in the collection, by arranging for them to bring parties of their students on group visits to the Study Room where we can put out small selections of drawings and prints chosen by themselves. More information Object identification We offer a service to try to identify Western works of art on paper that belong to and are brought in by members of the public, and saying what we can to help them. More information Photography Digital images are available through the Collection database online. Small images can be downloaded by right-clicking on an image, or high resolution versions can be supplied by email. There is no charge for non-commercial use of existing images, but all images must be credited: © Trustees of the British Museum. To commission new photography or to use images for commercial purposes please contact firstname.lastname@example.com You may take pictures of works on display in our exhibition galleries, unless they have been lent to us and the lenders have refused permission for public photography. We do not have the facilities or staff to enable outside photographers to take photographs of works in the Study room. Press, television and film companies should contact the Museum Press Office: firstname.lastname@example.com Borrowing The department lends to between 60 and 70 exhibitions every year by responsible bodies and organisations in the United Kingdom and abroad. Some of these loans are tours mounted by the department in collaboration with partner bodies, but the great majority are of one or more works to exhibitions whose organisers wish to borrow from us. More detailed information has been produced to help those who are planning exhibitions. Advice for potential borrowers How to borrow Teaching and fellowships The department offers practical training in the understanding of prints and drawings through Fellowships and Internships.

The digestive and excretory systems are subsystems of human body and are connected to each other. The digestive system is responsible for providing fuel required for the proper working of human body whereas excretory system manages and removes the waste out of human body. The description for the working of digestive system and excretory system is as follow:
Human Digestive system
The human digestive system is constructed of hollow tube like organs. You may wonder to know that if you place digestive system parts one after the other, the formation will be 9 meter long!
It is hunger or thirst that directs us to eat some food or drink any liquid (in most cases it is water). As soon as we put the food in our mouth and start chewing it the process of digestion begins. Chewing is very important in digestion process. Properly chewed food decreases the stress on other involved organs like esophagus. Chewing is also an indicator for other parts that food is coming and release of hydrochloric acid is triggered. The chewed food is swallowed and moved into the esophagus, a muscular tube connecting throat and stomach. At this step the process of digestion becomes automatic. Esophagus takes the food from throat to the stomach entrance.
Near stomach there is a muscular ring which acts as valve and keeps the entrance from Esophagus to stomach close. But when food reaches near the stomach muscles relaxed and food enters into the stomach. The top muscle of stomach is relaxed so that large amounts of food and liquids can be stored into the stomach. The function of the lower stomach is to mix the food and liquids with the digestive juices produced by stomach. This is done by altering muscle tension. After mixing all the contents the mixed material is forced to move into small intestine again by muscle movement.
In small intestine food is further broken down into smaller molecules. This is done with the help of enzymes produced by pancreas and small intestine. The small intestine is very important organ as it absorbs fat and nutrients necessary for the cell growth and to produce other forms of energy for body functioning.
In the last of digestion process, after the nutrients are absorbed by the walls of intestine from the food mixture, what remains of the food is called waste. Waste produced during the digestion process contains unused parts and fiber.
Excretory System
Both, the digestive system and excretory system, work together and interact with each other through nervous system. Excretory system is as necessary as digestive system. Unusable materials and fiber remains of digestion process are very dangerous for human body. In absence of excretory system our bodies would be filled with poisonous materials like Nitrogen which is produced after protein metabolism.
Working of Excretory system: Excretory system comes into frame after the completion of digestion system. It deals with solid waste and liquid waste separately. After small intestine the food is moved into large intestine. Here some liquids and electrolytes are removed from the remains and can be counted in digestion process. There are many types of bacteria that help in further digestion of these remains. The Food remains that couldn't be utilized are moved into descending colon and then to sigmoid colon. When colon gets filled muscles force the waste to travel towards the rectum unit. Then solid waste is gathered in rectum and finally moved out excreted through the anus. This is what is called nature call.
Excretion process of liquid waste can be understood by knowing the functions of involved organs and parts. The following are the parts and their functioning in the same order they take part in the process:
The following are the organs and their function in Excretory System:
Solid waste
Aorta – Aorta provides a pathway for blood to reach kidneys and other body parts.
Kidneys: The kidneys filter the blood using nephrons (made up of small filtering units) for liquid waste and ureain the form of urine which is stored in bladder.
Bladder – Bladder is a hollow organ found in the lower part of the abdomen kept in place by ligaments attached to other organs. The bladder walls are formed with detrusor muscles. It can increase its volume by expanding its walls. It stores Fluid waste called urine. Detrusor muscles squeeze and the urine out of the body through urethra.
Ureters: There are two ureters in our body. Their function is move the urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Why am I an atheist? To be perfectly honest, my upbringing contributed. Most people stay with the religion of their childhood, and I stayed with the non-religion of mine.
Having said that, I always felt in the minority, and this kept me from uncritically accepting what I was taught. In fact, for a large part of my childhood, I wished my family was Christian so I would be normal like my friends. I had a devoutly Christian friend in primary school, and she convinced me to start praying regularly, and I attended Christian youth activities with her. The youth activities lasted many years: they were fun, although I never really took them seriously. They praying didn't last, maybe a week. At age 10 it didn't take me long to acknowledge that I was talking only to myself.
Fast-forward to when I finished Uni. For the first time in years, I had the time to devote to reading for pleasure, and now I craved knowledge rather than the fiction I had devoured as a child. The first topic I jumped into was religion. I remember thinking as a child that if I studied all the world religions, I might find one that fit me; I had felt incomplete without a religion. Now I read The God Delusion, God is not Great and The End of Faith, alongside The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith and many other books. I tried to read them all with an open mind, but my mind snapped shut when in The Case for Faith, one of the interviewees used the existence of witches as a part of his argument. I read John Shelby Spong, and liked his outlook, but found no reason to accept his beliefs. I read The Demon Haunted World. I watched documentaries (many by Dawkins), and any number of debates on religion. I watched some horrible Intelligent Design videos my in-laws gave me. I progressed onto biology and physics. The more I researched, the more absurd religious beliefs seemed.
It is true that my upbringing biased me towards an atheistic stance, but it certainly didn't determine my adult atheism. The household I grew up in was center-right, and I am now quite firmly in the left. My views about most political topics stand at odds with at least my father, and frequently against both parents. My naive views absorbed from my family have changed in most things, and so too have my views on religion. It's just that with a much deeper and more nuanced understanding, I am now confident in my atheism.
As for my reasons for being an atheist? They're very simple. The evidence for any god is about as compelling as that for the Loch Ness Monster.

ADSORBIA GTO media helped reduce arsenic to less than 10 ppb
Several water treatment systems supplied by GEcom, Inc., of Mesa, Ariz., which use ADSORBSIA GTO arsenic removal media from Dow Water & Process Solutions, have helped reduce the arsenic level in the Village of Oak Creek, Ariz., to less than 10 parts per billion (ppb) from the previous 25 ppb. The treatment allows for higher quality drinking water for approximately 8,000 residents of the Village of Oak Creek.
ADSORBSIA media is a high-capacity non-regenerable single-use product, suitable especially for small or mid-sized systems. Eliminating the regeneration step frees operators from the hassles and cost of chemical storage and usage, and from waste stream disposal issues. Because of the media's exceptional affinity for arsenic, ADSORBSIA media maintains a strong hold on the removed arsenic, promoting easier and safer disposal. The nanocrystalline structure of ADSORBSIA media enables faster kinetics, allowing for smaller diameter vessels and a smaller system footprint.
Big Park Water Co., the principal provider of water utility service for the community of the Village of Oak Creek, decided on the system incorporating ADSORBSIA media after extensive research of products and technologies for the removal of arsenic.
"We couldn't afford to make mistakes in selecting the best available technology," said Steve Gudovic, president of Big Park Water Co. "The titanium-based ADSORBSIA media proved to be the most effective and efficient arsenic removal option for us."
"When choosing the equipment and the technology for arsenic removal, water utilities look for a good return on their investment in terms of performance and economics" said Alan Greenberg, product line manager, Dow Water & Process Solutions. "ADSORBSIA media provides a reliable, cost-advantaged and flexible solution that works equally well in both brand new installations and in previously installed equipment that was designed for other media."

Researchers use supercomputer to replicate how botnets operate
Starting in October, a huge botnet will be run not by nefarious underground figures but by the Energy Department's Sandia National Laboratories. The lab's Thunderbird supercomputer will periodically run a million virtual machines all at once, all with botnet client software. By setting this large network of systems into operation, the researchers, Ron Minnich and Don Rudish, hope to better understand how botnets operate.
"If you want to take a look at what is really threatening the Internet, we have to talk about the scale of the network we are working with," Rudish said. "One million gets us pretty close to understanding these botnets."
Typically used by spammers, botnets are comprised of thousands or even millions of Internet-connected PCs. The owners of such machines are typically unaware that their machines have been infected with secret programs that do the bidding of the botnet operator. Botnet operators tend to deploy their creations for spamming, distributed denial-of-service attacks, and other nefarious activities.
Botnets are difficult to study in the wild because the computers are geographically dispersed. By approximating the size of a good-sized botnet, the researchers can understand how botnets operate and the effects they have.
To prepare for the work, the scientists have already simultaneously booted 1 million Linux kernels, all of which ran as virtual machines on Thunderbird. A million virtual machines is the largest number that have ever been installed on a single system, to the best of Minnich's and Rudish's knowledge.
Thunderbird is a 4,480-node Dell-based computer cluster. Each node runs 250 Linux kernels. The host operating system on each node is a stripped-down version of the Linux kernel, which the researchers compiled. It contains only the kernel core and a start-up script that boots the virtual machines. "The root file system lives out in Random Access Memory," Rudish said.
For the virtualization, the system uses a hypervisor named Lguest built into the Linux kernel. Lguest was developed by the research arm of IBM. Although it is still in the development stage, Sandia chose Lguest because it is "very fast and very lightweight," Minnich said. On Thunderbird, the start-up for each virtual machine is a fraction of a second, Rudish said. "The bottleneck is reading the configuration file, which is a million lines long."
The management software is OneSis, which Sandia originally developed. "OneSis is pretty key to making this thing work at all," Minnich said. "It is good at managing thousands of thousands of nodes in a very easy way." All the virtual machines are networked, through virtual Linux-based routers and Sandia's own backbone routers.
Beyond the study of botnets, the researchers maintain that their work will help in understanding how to manage large systems in general.
"Anything that scales to a million, it is impossible to watch any single thing," Minnich said. "So you need to have this be a highly automated self-maintaining system." By 2018, new supercomputers will have 100 million CPUs or more. "The lessons we're learning for this project we're pretty sure will feed into the supercomputers we're building in 2018," he said.

Hangover Helper: Artichoke Hash Benedict at Caffe Delucchi, San Francisco
Just what the doctor ordered.
This past Thanksgiving I had a revelation: leftover stuffing topped with poached eggs is maybe the best thing ever. Furthermore, it acts as an excellent remedy after hitting your hometown bars a little too hard (oh hey, O'Neill's!). Fortunately, thanks to discovering the artichoke hash benedict ($10) at Caffe Delucchi in North Beach, I don't have to wait until the holidays to recreate this oh-so-excellent dish. Well, almost. Although it's not stuffing, the artichoke hash, a pan-fried mix of potatoes, onion, artichoke, and bread crumbs, is an excellent combination of stuff simply begging to be doused in runny egg yolk.
The eggs themselves were very nicely poached, and served on slices of ripe tomato. The dish's accompaniments, creamy polenta (fine if uninspired) and a small hunk of sourdough baguette were nothing to write home about, but I was too deep into my hash 'n' eggs to care much. One major added benefit this benedict had over my at-home creation: it was covered in a nicely prepared hollandaise sauce. Now that's a touch I'm almost guaranteed to skip when cooking hungover.

Biology graduate explored the world through science and researchJennifer Romine | 2013 Alumna, B.S. Biology, M.D. Student, IU School of Medicine | Biology Department Jennifer Romine looks back on her time in the School of Science as one of great transition, an eye-opening experience she never expected.
This fall, Romine will begin living out her dream of attending medical school when she enters the IU School of Medicine. But, it is the impact of the research experiences and international opportunities that continue to guide her education and career.
"Originally I came to IUPUI and didn't really want to do research. What's ironic now is I'm completely embedded in it," said Romine, who graduated with a degree in biology and a minor in medical humanities and health studies.
Her research, which twice took her to China to present her findings and interact with international neuroscience professionals, involved the study of the maturation process of neurons and the ability to stimulate neuron growth by increasing the number of neural stem cells in the brain.
In 2012, she presented her project, "Revitalizing Neural Stem Cells in the Aging Brain," at the International Neural Regeneration Symposium. Her mentor, Jinhui Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor at the IU School of Medicine, and several other IU researchers gave presentations at the symposium.
"This was an amazing opportunity I was given," Romine said. "To have the ability to do this type of research as an undergraduate is incredible."
The research, conducted at the Stark Neuroscience Research Center on the IUPUI campus, revealed certain drugs can stimulate neuron activity, which can be useful in treating patients with traumatic brain injuries or those who lose cognitive function through the aging process.
"IUPUI allowed me take advantage of all the opportunities to meet my RISE goals," Romine said, referring to IUPUI's mission to provide Research, International study, Service and Experiential learning for all undergraduates.
"Undoubtedly, the experiences I've had have molded me into a better leader and equipped me with skills to be the best physician possible. I feel empowered to make an impact on the world around me," she added.
Before she begins to make her mark, however, she plan to take much-needed break. The Roncalli High School graduate will spend her summer backpacking throughout Europe and exploring the United States. She will pursue her medical degree to prepare for a career as a neurologist.
Romine is a Fugate Scholar, an Outstanding Woman Leader at IUPUI, a recipient of the William M. Plater Civic Medallion and an IUPUI Top 100 student. She also served as the president of Timmy Global Health, ambassador for the Center for Research and Learning, pre-professional coordinator for the IUPUI Biology Club, member of the Student Development Funding Committee and IUPUI Honors College peer mentor.

The city of Toronto. I feel favoured to walk these streets. The people, the architecture, the smell, the taste; the life.
I was in Toronto first time in 2007. First days, I remember wanting to go home so bad. It was late October and was raining sideways. But then after a few days, I never wanted to leave.
I was traveling together with a very dedicated Creative Director, on commission for the Swedish Absolut Vodka Company. It was full schedule. The only day off, I went to the Andy Warhol Art Show; Stars, Deaths, and Disasters. Curator; David Cronenberg (film director). I remember standing there, at the Art Gallery of Ontario (this is Frank Gehry building today) listening to Dennis Hopper's thoughts about Andy Warhol's relation to Jackie Kennedy – That, he actually wanted to be her.
I got inspired by all this creativity and wanted to depict the city. But I did not have the time, I had to catch a flight the next day. Nevertheless, two years later I had the opportunity to go back to see a friend. /…/
Finally, this is TORONTO.

Learn music young, and it stays with you for life, kind of like riding a bike.
But to extend the metaphor to apply to the newly formed Durango Civic Symphonic Winds, that first time back in the saddle would put you somewhere in the middle of the pack of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic.
"I was in honor band in high school, but it had been 20 years since I'd touched it," said Andrea Kirkpatrick, who will play her trombone in public tonight for the first time in two decades.
The Civic Winds is a hodgepodge of more than 50 local musicians who formed in January afterRuth Katzin, who teaches flute at her namesake downtown music store and studios, invited them. After just four rehearsals, the band will make its debut tonight playing the first set in the Fort Lewis College Concert Band's annual spring concert. Mark Walters is the faculty director of the student band. He also is the director of Civic Winds, stepping into that role by Katzin's invitation.
"I was really worried about what it was going to look like, but I dropped the baton on this group of strangers on April 3, and what came in was beautiful instrumentation," Walters said."I've been blown away with them. Their dedication and interest is just profound.They're so eager and easy to work with, it's as if they were craving it."
Some musicians are pros who just wanted a new outlet for performance while others are like Kirkpatrick – onetime hobbyists who saw Civic Winds as a way to get back into their music.
The band differs from an orchestra in that there are no strings – just woodwinds, brass and percussion.
Trumpeter Paul Boyer, who has gotten his fix in recent years playing with The Trumpet Geezers in Farmington, is happy to have bandmates closer to home.
"I've been waiting for this for years," Boyer said."If you've got drums or a guitar and amp, you can play a lot, but Durango's been pretty sparse for this type of music. This is fantastic – we get to make music with the hometown folks in front of the hometown folks."
Tonight's program will include Gustav Holst's First Suite in E flat; the march "National Emblem" by E.E. Bagley; "Shenandoah" by Frank Ticheli; and "Prelude Siciliano and Rondo" by Malcolm Arnold. The latter piece features a trumpet solo by one of the more accomplished Civic Winds, FLC music faculty member Marc Reed.
Walters said he has been impressed by the musicians' talent. He gave the sheet music to the musicians in February, and each was responsible for learning his or her part. Walters said they obviously did their homework because after only four rehearsals, the last of which was Thursday, just a night before the concert, he said it doesn't feel like he's working with amateurs at all.
"I told my students I'm seeing another band on the side," he quipped.
Walters and Katzin said theyboth be surprised if tonight's concert represents a one-and-done scenario for the Civic Winds. Talk of a summer concert already happening.
Because there is rising interest in the band, Walters said he may soon have to hold auditions as a way to maintain and further improve the quality. But both Walters and Katzin also are aware of the community value of the band and don't want to see it become anything resembling an exclusive club.
"My focus has been music education, and it doesn't stop at the end of high school or college," Katzin said."I think we appreciate it more. We've gained some expertise, and we needed a place to enjoy it and now we've got that. I'm just beaming with joy."

"The Happytime Murders," the neo noir spoof about a string of puppet murders, featuring a cast of humans and puppets, brings us its first glimpse of the look and vibe we can expect. Please, please, please let them follow through on the grim vision.
In this first look, by way of Collider, a gutted bunny lays on the floor of a puppet porn palace, tufts of pink stuffing strewn everywhere, as a team of humans collects evidence and interviews a grizzled smoking puppet. Awesome. And what sort of twisted mind concocts such a scenario? Why that would be Brian Henson, son of legendary puppeteer Jim Henson.
Here's the current synopsis:
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
In a world where puppets co-exist with humans as second class citizens, puppet private eye and disgraced ex-cop, Phil Phillips, is hot on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother and is now targeting the cast members of the famous 80s television show, "The Happytime Gang." As the killings continue, Phil's former flame, Jenny, is next on the list. It's up to Phil and his ex-partner, Detective Edwards, to find the culprit, but as bad blood and old resentments resurface the clues start pointing to the only viable suspect, Phil himself. Now he's on the run with only his wits and hard headed determination, as he tries to solve, "The Happytime Murders."
Do you get the sense a young Brian Henson saw "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and woke up screaming for the next six months?
Yes, Katherine Heigl was recently linked to one of the human leads, but we're trying not to let that temper our enthusiasm.

Want healing and satisfaction after a breakup? Then get in bed with a friend – just be sure to keep it casual.
That was the gist of the conversation when HuffPo Live contributors got together on Monday night to advocate casual sex as "the best medicine after heartbreak." Their consensus after the half-hour promotion of hook-ups? Sleep around enough and you'll eventually find love.
"If you want true love, have lots of casual sex!" host Abby Huntsman agreed at the close of the program. "That's what I learned from this segment!"
The panel of "relationship experts" and authors declared bed-hopping a "welcome relief" that helped them "redefine" themselves after divorce. The key is to be casual, they said. "There's no obligation or expectation to be accountable or necessarily involved or sharing your plans or your needs with this other person," insisted Dr. Jane Greer, a "relationship expert."
Commitment? Trust? Love? Who needs those before getting into bed with a partner?
"Divorce coach" Cindy Holbrook eagerly recommended finding "a good friend that you can have a casual love affair with, that you know is not going to go anyplace else." Greer proposed casual sex as a great way to boost your "sexual self-esteem," your health, immune system, and ego. There's "nothing wrong with it" as long as you're using "safe sex practices," they concurred.
But remember: "sex first, love afterwards." Getting "too attached" to your casual sex partner isn't the best idea, they said. But Greer admitted that "meaningful sex" involves "emotional connection," while Michael Solomon, a post-divorce casual sex experimenter, was more oblivious: "I didn't realize we were dating and we'd been having sex for months!" he laughed about his now-wife.
Solomon seemed to think it perfectly normal for a new casual sex partner to be "the first order of business" on a divorcee's mind. "I think that's a healthy attitude to have," he declared. The panel all nodded in agreement – but that's not surprising, since none of them batted an eyelash when Solomon said that "People are animals! Especially when it comes to sex!"
"We love the truth here at HuffPost Live!" Huntsman exclaimed during the program. Well, clearly nobody told HuffPo Live that casual sex brings emotional destruction and harm. Maybe they've never heard of oxytocin, the hormone that forms a bond in sexual intercourse to fuel "feelings of attachment and trust," – a bond that causes psychological and emotional harm when broken. Or maybe they aren't aware that casual sex often results in the spread of STDs.
So no doubt HuffPo Live will "love" it when someone reminds them that casual sex hurts and is often just the result of lowering standards and pleasure-hunting. Surely they'd "love" that little inconvenient truth … Right?

Where it All Began
I started my fashion journey where most women start: as a teenage girl who didn't like the way she looked.
I felt ugly and believed I was unattractive which led me to despise my inner self at an early age.
I can honestly say that: I hated myself.
I've met a lot of women who have felt—and continue to feel—like I did back then. And that's not right. It's a pretty typical experience, and very sad. But I did something with it that isn't ordinary.
Starting From the Inside Out
I began studying energy healing over 20 years ago. In 1994, I received my post baccalaureate training and began my career as a Master Energy Therapist.
Since then, I have had the opportunity to train people across the world in energy healing to improve every aspect of their lives — from money, to health, to relationships, to overall emotional well-being.
In my experience with Energy Healing, I observed that different people have different energies and natural movements. So, I created a program called Energy Profiling, that helps people identify and honor their true natures, strengths, and gifts.
Amazing things happen to people who honor their true natures!
But What to Wear?
After many years of healing my inner self, I knew my inner truth and loved who I was by then.
But every morning, I still had to open my closet and pick out something to wear. And what I wore on the outside didn't match up with the strong, beautiful woman I knew I was on the inside.
This time, I was sure the problem wasn't me. After all, not every woman in the world could really be a failure at feeling and looking beautiful as the fashion industry had led them to believe!
And then it clicked.
Dressing Your Truth Was Born
By applying the principles of Energy Profiling to fashion, I created the BEAUTY PROFILING℠ System and Dressing Your Truth.
These programs show women how to best express their inner beauty in their outward appearance. Dressing Your Truth has changed the way women all over the world feel about themselves and the way they look.
Women who dress their truth love and honor themselves every day, just with what they put on in the morning.
What am I Doing Now?
I am sharing Dressing Your Truth with women all over the world. I believe every woman is beautiful and she should look and feel that way daily! Too many woman out there feel like they'll only be beautiful if they buy the latest trends, get the right hair cut or lose those last 10 pounds.
I have been in that place before. But I didn't stay there. And I don't think any woman should!
Every woman in the world can feel beautiful today, which is why I created Dressing Your Truth and why I strive daily to inspire women to discover and embrace their true beauty.
Thank you for visiting and for choosing to discover the remarkable beauty you express both inside and out. I hope that you will spend some time exploring your true nature and honoring it by Dressing Your Truth.
You are beautiful!

Israeli security forces claim to have captured five Hamas members accused of killing two Israeli settlers last week.
Eitam and Naama Henkin were shot and killed as they drove between the Israeli settlements of Itamar and Elon Moreh on Oct. 1.
The Nablus area was put under lockdown following the attack, and four extra Israel Defense Forces (IDF) battalions were sent to the area to assist in the search for those responsible for the attack.
The Abdel Qader al-Husseini Brigades, a group affiliated with Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, initially claimed responsibility.
The five Hamas members have been named as cell leader Ra'eb Ahmad Mohammed Aliwi, 37, alongside Ziad Amar, 26, Samir Kousa, 33, Yahiya Hajj Hamed, 24, and Karem Razek, 23, all of whom are residents of Nablus.
Razek was accidentally injured during the shooting. Video footage released shows Israeli security forces entering the Nablus hospital where Razek was receiving treatment and arresting him.
Israel's internal security force, The Shin Bet, has stated that the five Hamas members confessed to the attack during interrogation. They reported that the attack was planned in advance.

Jen Schumacher, open water marathon swimmer, will race to become the first person to complete the Ocean's Seven. The Ocean's Seven, a challenge set forth to all marathon swimmers, is comprised of seven of the most challenging and iconic channel swims in the world. To date, Jen has completed the Catalina Channel (twice, once in each direction). Follow Jen this year as she prepares for her English Channel attempt in July 2012.
Forrest and I crossed the LA Bay.
Guest post: AquaGear swim shop's blogger Lindsey lays out four of the most beautiful open water swims in the country. Check these out, perhaps get an idea for the 2013 open water racing season!
Product Review: AquaGear
Last Thursday I attempted the English Channel. I was unsuccessful and found myself in the hospital recovering. I wrote this while I was there, still with many unanswered questions. I am recovering well and piecing together bits of information from everyone. The next update will hopefully shed more light on the events of the attempt.
Today I received a phone call from Paul Foreman, my pilot for my English Channel attempt, offering me an opportunity to swim tomorrow.
Today I swam the last two laps around Sandycove I'll do for a while.
On Sunday many swimmers and volunteers arrived to Sandycove in Kinsale, Ireland for what would be the final day of the Cork Long Distance Week.
Today was the second to last day of the Cork Long Distance Week in Ireland, the Total Body Brain Confusion swim.
Today is Day 4 of Ned's Cork Long Distance Camp. After this evening, I will have surpassed 50K across the 4 days of camp.

All About Baby
Your baby-to-be's lungs are developing rapidly, although she'd probably need a little help breathing if she were born at this point. Her respiratory system continues to develop, her nostrils are open, and she can breathe — but she won't take her first breath of air until delivery day. By your 25th week of pregnancy, her reproductive organs are formed (in boys, the testes have descended). Her skin is translucent and wrinkled, and she can hear your stomach when it gurgles and your voice when you sing. Your baby is becoming more aware of how she can move — she's wiggling her fingers and toes!
All About You
I hope you're doing your Kegel exercises! Kegels strengthen the pelvic floor and tone the vaginal and perineal area. To do a Kegel, tighten the muscles around the vagina and anus and hold for eight to 10 seconds. Confused? Practice stopping a stream of urine when you're on the toilet. These are exercises you don't have to get to the gym for! Try doing Kegels in the car at every red light.
You may start to notice aches and pains in some unusual places as your pregnancy progresses. For example, you may experience moments of shooting pains in your legs. There are several possible reasons for leg cramps, although doctors are still uncertain about the exact cause. According to the March of Dimes, changes in your circulation, pressure on nerves and blood vessels, even staying in the same position for too long can lead to cramping. Your groin may also ache with the added pressure of your baby-to-be. And chances are, some of the regular pregnancy nuisances — like frequent potty breaks, indigestion, and itchy skin — are still bothering you.
Sleeping in Pregnancy: Why It's Tough to Get Enough Zzzs
Next to nausea, fatigue is one of the top complaints during pregnancy. While getting more rest seems to be the easy solution, sleeping will become more difficult as you get further along in your pregnancy.
Physical Reasons for Sleep Trouble
- Belly bump: Your baby bump can make it challenging to find a comfortable snoozing position. If you slept on your back or stomach pre-pregnancy, you'll have to adjust to sleeping on your side. In fact, the American Pregnancy Association (APA) advises sleeping on your side, or SOS — as the healthiest position for you and your baby. The APA goes on to say that you should sleep on your left side to put your body's internal organs in the best position for blood to circulate, replenishing your body — and your baby-to-be's — with oxygen and nutrients while you sleep.
- Breathing issues: Your expanding belly not only dictates your sleep position, but also how much air you'll breathe as you snooze. As your uterus expands and pushes your internal organs aside, your lungs have less room to expand, meaning you're taking shallower and more frequent breaths than in your pre-pregnancy days.
- Potty breaks: Your growing baby-to-be puts added pressure on your bladder, which is working overtime along with the rest of your body to flush out any impurities in your blood supply, which jumps 50 percent during pregnancy. Don't be surprised if you have to wake up at least a couple of times in the night to use the bathroom.
- Indigestion: Along with your lungs and bladder, your stomach is getting squished as your belly bump grows. As your stomach is pushed up closer to your esophagus (the tube through which food travels from your mouth to your stomach), you're more likely to experience heartburn. Pregnancy hormones, which tend to slow digestion, can also cause food to sit longer in your stomach.
Mental Reasons for Sleep Trouble
- Stress: It may not be just your body keeping you up at night. You may lose sleep worrying about your baby's arrival, stresses of work, or about becoming a mother.
- Dreams: Researchers also note pregnant women have more vivid dreams compared with non-pregnant women. "We're still not sure why this happens," says Dr. William Camann, MD, director of obstetric anesthesia at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and coauthor of Easy Labor. Some theories are that pregnancy hormones play a part. "It may also be that you're waking up more often so that you're recalling more of what you were dreaming."
Simple Solutions for Sleep Trouble
Try these helpful strategies to ensure you get some much-needed rest.
- Pillows, pillows, and more pillows! While there are plenty of pregnancy sleep pillows on the market, you can also fashion your own pillow system by placing several smaller pillows at your sorest points. Try adding one behind your lower back for support and placing one between your legs.
- Relaxation strategies: If pillows aren't enough, try to find some ways to relax before you go to bed. Make yourself a glass of tea, do breathing exercises, and/or let your partner give you're a massage. Find what triggers your body to unwind and practice it before bed.
- Drinking smarts: You should never limit the amount of water you drink, but you can limit when you drink it. If you've had one too many midnight bathroom breaks, avoid drinking an hour or two before bed. Make sure, though, when you wake up in the morning and throughout the day you drink enough to keep your body hydrated.
- Sit up: Propping yourself up at night can ease heartburn. You may also try avoiding acidic foods such as tomato sauce or citrus fruits.
- Have your baby: After weeks of uncomfortable sleep positions and aching body parts, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll find yourself snoozing again once your baby arrives. You may still find yourself waking up in the middle of the night, but it won't be because you need a bathroom break — instead it will be your little one who may need a snack or a changed diaper.
Remember to ask your healthcare provider before taking any over-the-counter sleep aids.
Got questions about Week 25? Other women have asked…
Q: What's the mask of pregnancy?
Here is another pregnancy skin change that's caused by your fluctuating hormones. The increase in hormones occurring during pregnancy has an effect on your body's melanin production, and this increase in melanin manifests itself as small brownish patches or darkened areas on the skin. Read more about skincare products to use during pregnancy.
Q: Is it safe to drive in the third trimester?
There is no reason why you should not drive yourself as long as your pregnancy has been normal and you feel well enough to drive. It may be more of an effort to get in and out of the car as your pregnancy progresses, but it should not interfere with you driving. Read more about commuting while pregnant.
Your Partner
Taking Care of Yourself and Your Spouse
Life for you and your partner may get a little crazy when your baby is born. Now, before your newborn arrives, is the time to pamper yourselves. You most likely won't have the chance to again until months (or years!) after your Baby enters the world.
Does your partner like manicures and pedicures? How about massages or getting her hair styled? Maybe even a spa treatment? These make for great treats and can help your spouse relieve stress and feel special — just how you want her to feel.
Try scheduling an appointment for her or look for gift certificates so the experience is worry-free. If family and friends ask you what they can get her as a baby shower gift, these make for great suggestions (especially if they come with a "babysitting" service along with them for after your baby is born).
While pampering your loved one, don't forget about yourself! Dads-to-be deserve massages and spa treatments, too. Or how about a professional shave? What are the things that make you feel good and special? Be sure to schedule some of these things for yourself as well.
The healthier you and your partner are, the better able you'll be to manage the stresses and chaos of having a newborn.

No Sugar? In a Slurpee? It's coming to a 7-Eleven near you.
Dallas-based 7-Eleven is introducing a new Slurpee Lite drink this summer featuring Fanta flavors with a sugar-free option.
The company says this is the first time in the 45 year history of the Slurpee that they've made the brain freezing drink in a sugar-free version at the national level.
Each drink will contain 20 calories per 8 ounces, according to a 7-Eleven press release, and will start flowing from Slurpee machines on May 23.
To help promote the new option, 7-Eleven will offer a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee on May 23 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at participating stores -- pretty much adding another "free Slurpee day" to the calendar that we're assuming also includes July 11's traditional festivities.

Sep 4th: Labor Day. Center Closed
Sep 7th: Family Workshop - Cooking Matters!
Sep 21st: Rosh Hashanah Center Open/Schools Closed
Sep 29th: Open House
BAD WEATHER: Child Care of Southwest Florida follows the Lee County School Board Bad Weather Closing Schedule. Please tune into your local weather station. If school is called off or closes early the center will follow suit. Please be prepared for alternative care in the event of bad weather closures.
Join us on Friday, September 29th for our annual Open House. Visit your child's classroom between 9:00 AM and 11:00AM. Parents will have an opportunity to visit the classroom see their children's work and learn about our curriculum and the importance of family involvement. Classrooms will be providing a snack and will have a surprise for the parents who attend.
Please join your child and teacher on this important day!
The Lion and Bumblebee Classrooms will be participating in the Food Literacy in Pre-school Program offered by the Community Cooperative. (FLIP) provides pre-school children with education about how to make healthy food choices. Volunteers teach a lesson based on a piece of produce. Students are taught about where food comes from, how it is grown, and recipes for using the produce in healthy snacks. The snack and produce are taken home by the children. Periodic meetings with family members also occur so the entire family can learn together and achieve positive outcomes.
Children in the preschool classrooms (Dolphin, Lion and Bumblebee) will be participating in the Literacy Buddies Program. The Early Learning Coalition sponsors the Literacy Buddy Program which provides children with books to take home and share with their families. The program also encourages them to express themselves through correspondence with their adult buddy. Children come to school better prepared to learn when they interact with adults who regularly read, write and talk with them. Children are sending their letters out this month to their Literacy Buddy. We are looking forward to children building their own library at home and learning the joy of reading.
YUM engages children in fun activities that are encouraged through exploration, questioning and decision making applied to eating healthy foods. Through the YUM curriculum, children learn by doing.

By Rita Brhel, managing editor and attachment parenting resource leader (API)
In the United States alone, there are 3.2 million referrals to social services on allegations of child maltreatment each year — one-quarter of which are found to have a substantiated case of physical or sexual abuse or severe neglect. Seventy-five percent of these founded cases of abuse or neglect had no prior history. It's an astounding number of children who aren't living in safe, loving homes — especially knowing that these numbers don't count the abused and neglected children living around the world. It's a number that child maltreatment prevention researcher David Zielinski, PhD, wants to stick in your mind.
"I can highlight this, I can underline this — we're talking about a huge number of children," said Zielinski, who works with the National Institute of Mental Health. Earlier this year, he addressed a wide audience of researchers, social workers, and other professionals in the field of child abuse prevention and treatment through a webinar hosted by the Quality Improvement Center on Early Childhood.
That "huge number of children" Zielinski was describing translates into another sizable group – 25 million to 30 million adults, just in the U.S., who were abused or neglected as children. Research has shown us that individuals who experienced abuse and neglect have a higher risk of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other anxiety disorders, antisocial personality disorder, substance abuse, and other addictions. And it's well known that adults who were abused or neglected as children are more likely to become abusers themselves.
"You learn what's appropriate based on imitation," Zielinski said.
But the effects of this abuse tend to focus on treatment, rather than prevention — on the individual, rather than society.
"We need to pay attention to not just the biology, temperament, and behavior of the individual who was abused as a child, but also how the individual now interacts with others in the community," Zielinski said. "Research is now trying to fill the gaps in knowledge and answer the question, what happens after child abuse beyond age 18? To be frank, it's not receiving the attention that is needed from policymakers, those who decide where the funding goes."
Abuse Effects on Physical Health
Research has shown the effects of child abuse and neglect on adult mental health, but there is more and more evidence that maltreatment also has effects on adult physical health.
"We don't know the mechanisms of how abuse at two years old affects physical health at 40 years old," Zielinski said, but we do know that individuals who were abused as children are at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gastrointestinal problems, and chronic pain. It's evident, he said: "Early experiences have long-term physical outcomes."
Zielinski explained a 2009 study that shows how sexually abused girls develop considerably less visual memory than their peers. An example of poor visual memory is if a child is sitting in a class room listening to the teacher but unable to take notes — her auditory memory is normal, but her visual memory is impaired as she can't remember what is written on the board long enough to write it down in her notebook.
"Think of an infant that has gone through a significant amount of sexual abuse, and years later, she's having problems in school," he said. "It's not just that she's acting out — there are biological reasons for this."
And a 2010 study links child maltreatment with telomere shortening. Telomeres are the end caps of chromosomes, and the shortening of these telomeres are a result of stress. The result is premature cellular aging.
"Those who experience high levels of stress have shorter telomeres for their age," Zielinski said — a fact that pertains to all segments of society, not just those who were abused as children. "On a biological scale, they are much older chromosomally than they are chronologically."
Research connecting child maltreatment with physical health effects has been exploding this past decade, and what's been found so far has shown that early childhood stress has an impact on our biology. Recovering from childhood maltreatment isn't a matter of "just getting over it." There are impacts on cognition and memory; it is consistently associated with delinquent and disruptive behaviors as well as conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder.
Socio-Economic Effects of Child Abuse
Child maltreatment is consistently associated with lower academic performance, but effects are much more long-term. A 2000 study shows that child maltreatment increases college drop-out rates. Another 2000 study focused on the economic consequences of child sexual abuse for adult lesbian women and found a significant correlation between abuse and income. A third study found twice the unemployment rate and a 65% increase in the risk for being on public assistance in adolescent victims of violence.
"If you do have deficits in grade school, it may affect high school and later on in life. They build on top of one another," Zielinski said. In fact, according to the U.S. Labor Economic Research division, there are three indicators predicting individual employment status and income: level of education, physical health, and psychopathology — all of which research shows is affected by childhood maltreatment.
Zielinski believes there needs to be more communication between social services and economics, as one certainly affects the other. "Interdisciplinary work is really what you need to do if you want to understand this on a holistic level," he said.
Socio-Economic Outcomes Vary with Type of Abuse
According to a 1993 study, there are different adult outcomes for different types of child maltreatment, and other factors such as duration and the relationship with the abuser also play into a very complex formulation of what will happen as that abused child grows up. That's exactly what Zielinski has found in his research.
For his paper, Zielinski chose to concentrate on how child maltreatment histories affect adults' socio-economic status. What he found was that adults who were physically abused as children had high unemployment rates, high rates for job loss occurring in their immediate families, and were likely to live under the poverty line. Physical abuse correlates with employment instability more than anything else, which naturally follows the general finding of instability in life that likely began with school attendance. Sexual abuse correlates with family job loss, but not necessarily personal job loss, suggesting that the issue is more the selection of the spouse. And severe neglect correlates with lower income potential. While none of the types of abuse are "better" than the others, it's evident that physical abuse has the most severe effects.

Dishing More Dirt on Last Week's Delaware Hearing
Today's News-Journal has more on last week's video game bill hearing before the Delaware House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Helene Keeley, sponsor of HB360 told the newspaper she plans to continue to press forward with her bill, which has been tabled by the Judiciary Committee for now pending revision.
"We're going to say that it's not right to beat the crap out of a woman," she said, an apparent reference to the oft-cited potential for hooker violence in the Grand Theft Auto series. "It's up to us to make that decision."
Jack Thompson, assisting Keeley with the legislation, said the game industry's voluntary compliance system based on ESRB ratings has failed.
"The problem is, they've had 15 years to do it, and they haven't done it," he said. "This isn't even speech," he claimed during the hearing while holding up a video game box. "This is software that enables a machine to allow a player to play a game."
GP: By that twisted reasoning a CD isn't speech since it's just software that enables a machine to allow a player to listen to music or the spoken word.
The Delaware State Education Association, representing the state's teachers, expressed support for Keeley's effort.
"We work every day to try to provide a safe learning environment for our kids, and we don't believe that adult violent videos help children to prepare for their time working in school or getting along with their peers in the real world," DSEA President Barbara Grogg said.
A representative of the Delaware Attorney General's Office said the A.G. is "willing to be aggressive on this issue," but is worried about constitutional challenges.
"Are we concerned that no one has been able to do it yet? Sure we are," he said
Gamer - and GP reader - James Donaldson, whose impressions of the hearing were highlighted on GamePolitics last week, also got some major ink in the News-Journal piece:
"(Thompson's) argument is deeply troubling to James Donaldson, a 23-year-old Wilmington resident and video-game enthusiast who studied game art and design at the Art Institute of Phoenix. Donaldson, the only T-shirt in a sea of business suits at last week's hearing, arrived in Dover after an hourlong ride aboard a DART bus. He was not called to testify, but said later he was pleased Keeley tabled her legislation - although Keeley tabled the bill for revisions and Donaldson wants to see the plug pulled.
"I don't agree with any of it," Donaldson said. When [Thompson] said games are not speech, that kind of hurt."
"These games don't teach children how to kill," Donaldson said. "People have a choice. It's not like these games are forced on the public."

More than twice the required number of signatures have been gathered to force the Law Society of B.C. to hold another vote in an attempt to withdraw approval of Trinity Western University's law school, a Victoria lawyer said Thursday.
"The response has been overwhelmingly positive," said Michael Mulligan, who said 1,303 written requests were collected in less than a week. It was well above the 650 votes needed to call a special general meeting to reconsider the approval, he said.
"I had an email yesterday from the president of the law society confirming that we had met the requirements to compel the special general meeting," said Mulligan. "We've met the requirements, they've confirmed it, so the vote will take place."
This move comes as Ontario's law society voted Thursday to deny graduates of the Christian university's planned law school — which bans homosexual activity among students and faculty — the right to practise in Ontario.
Many members of the Law Society of Upper Canada's board of directors condemned the policy as "abhorrent,'' though several said they would still vote in favour of allowing graduates to practise in Ontario. Ultimately there were 28 votes against accreditation to 21 in favour.
Earlier this month, the benchers (as directors are called) of B.C.'s law society voted 20-6 to allow the new law school.
Mulligan said the law society approved the application despite the university's covenant that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. TWU requires that students and staff sign a Community Covenant including a provision prohibiting "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."
The new vote must be held within 60 days, Mulligan said, noting that if the members vote in favour of directing the benchers to deny accreditation to the law school, the benchers will then have 12 months to implement the resolution. "If they were so bold as to fail to implement a resolution like that from the membership, there's then a process for a binding referendum to force them to do that."
A petition has also been filed in B.C. Supreme Court by openly gay Vancouver park board commissioner Trevor Loke after Minister of Advanced Education Amrik Virk approved the new school.
Mulligan praised the Ontario decision. "I'm hopeful we'll be able to get the B.C. law society on the right side of history here and get us on track in the same way the Law Society of Upper Canada resolved the issue today."
Trinity Western president Bob Kuhn appealed to the Law Society of Upper Canada to avoid penalizing his students for their beliefs as it would signal to millions of Canadians with religious views that they are "not welcome in the public marketplace,'' he said.
But Lawyer John Campion in his submission dismissed Kuhn's pitch that the issue is one of freedom of religion.
Anyone is free to go to the school, he said, but its policies are discriminatory and contrary to public policy in Ontario, where gay marriage is embraced and common-law relationships are recognized.
"I don't think we should take even a millimetre step backwards,'' Campion said. "We can't do it. All that work and all that trouble and all that pain and we're going to take one little step backwards? I say no.''
Lawyer Christopher Bredt, who voted for the school's accreditation, said the Trinity Western covenant conflicts with his personal views, but the decision must be based on the law.
"There is no suggestion that the graduates of TWU are any more likely to discriminate than graduates of any other Canadian law school.''
Kuhn touted his graduates' achievements and said they are particularly engaged members of the community.
"It's not a university of bigotry or a university of intolerance,'' he said. "It's a university the students leave saying, 'I love this place.'"

"Hubs and I have used White Horse several times for transportation to and from sporting events, concerts, and some private events. We have never had any issues with the service. I was bummed to read that other Yelpers had issues, but I am hoping that since those reviews are older, that the issues are taken care of. The drivers have all been professional, hospitable, and exact with the pick-up and destination. I have also found that they are affordable, in the realm of car services. It's always nice using a car service rather than a taxi. I also love White Horse is a locally based business and will continue to support them with other transport needs that we have." - Shannon A.
"We use Whitehorse transportation every time we visit Raleigh for several years. They are reliable, prompt, and professional drivers. Surprised to hear others complaining about the cost. We feel the reliability and professionalism are well worth the rate." - Kate R.
"We reserved transportation for our return trip to RDU on Sat, Oct 11, 2014 at 11 pm. After a cross country trip, the four of us were anxious to get home. Our cab was waiting and the driver was the most courteous, helpful and polite driver we've ever had. His name was Ed. When we have the need for another cab, we will use White Horse and request Ed.

A flotilla of 20 American and South Korean Navy ships churned the waters off South Korea's east coast Sunday on the first of four days of military exercises in a show of force that North Korea promises to answer with a "powerful nuclear deterrence."
The rhetoric from North Korea, however, appears to most observers as just that – words that suggest a long-range determination to stick to its nuclear program while avoiding an immediate military confrontation.
"This is just a verbal threat," says Choi Jin-wook, senior fellow on North Korean issues at the Korea Institute of National Unification, a Seoul-based think tank. "It's just a bluff."
What the war games entail
The military exercises, led by the 98,000-ton Nimitz class aircraft carrier, come in the aftermath of the sinking of the South Korean Navy vessel, the Cheonan – in the Yellow Sea, on the opposite side of the Korean peninsula – in March. The carrier has 80 war planes taking off from its decks while more than 100 other planes are flying from the major United States air base at Osan, about 30 miles South of Seoul. The exercises, called "Invincible Spirit," also include destroyers with Aegis-class counter-missile systems – the latest technology for fending off missiles of the sort that North Korea has tested over the years.
The emphasis is on antisubmarine warfare with ships and planes looking for dummy targets similar to the midget submarine that an investigation, led by South Korea and including experts from the US, Britain, Australia, and Sweden, concluded had fired the torpedo that split the Cheonan in two. North Korea continues to deny any role in the attack, in which 46 sailors were killed, but has said it wants to talk about it with investigators.
What does North Korea want?
After the war games are done on Wednesday, all sides are expected to turn to the possibility of negotiations on North Korea's nuclear program.
"[The North Koreans] are very distressed by these exercises," says Mr. Choi, "but they've already said they're going to resume six-party talks [with US, China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea]. That's what they want. They do not want war."
But the North Koreans have made clear that they are not going to go along with demands to get rid of their nuclear program even if they return to the table. North Korea has called for "denuclearization" of the entire Korean peninsula – a term that is likely to include banning all nuclear arms from US ships in the Pacific and even banning nuclear-powered vessels such as the George Washington.
And no one rules out the possibility of more North Korean missile and nuclear tests.
North Korea has conducted two underground explosions of nuclear devices, in October 2006 and again in May of last year, and also has tested a long-range missile capable theoretically of carrying warheads as far as Alaska, Hawaii, or even the west coast of the US.
Choi predicts "they will try to conduct a nuclear test or a missile test" but notes the North faces severe internal problems. North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong-il, suffering from a variety of illnesses, is attempting to put on an appearance of strength while preparing for his third son, Kim Jong-eun, to take over when he leaves the scene.
