Manuel Mota-Castillo,M.D.
This website is my contribution to clarify some of the confusions around the diagnoses and treatments of psychiatric illnesses. As the consultant at a general hospital I deal with the outcomes of diagnostic mistakes and/or faulty treatments. In my office I receive desperate calls from parents whose children's behaviors are worsening despite "adequate treatments." Most of them have a common denominator: a Diagnosis of bogus "co-morbidities" of ADHD with other conditions compounded by drug combinations with adversarial effects.

First come the bank failures. Now come the lawsuits.
A group of shareholders who invested in failed Alpha Bank of Alpharetta has filed a lawsuit against the bank's former board of directors, AJC reporter Paul Donsky writes. The suit alleges the directors failed to disclose important information about the bank's financial condition as it hurtled toward closure in late 2008.
It's one of the first director lawsuits to be filed in what experts predict will be a wave of similar legal actions as investors seek to recoup losses suffered during the state's banking meltdown, Donsky reports. Most bank board members carry liability insurance, but policies have a deductible and total coverage at many small banks is often not that high.
Alpha was the second Georgia bank to fail during the current cycle, shut down by regulators in October 2008 after less than three years in business. At the time, more than a quarter of the bank's loans were considered troubled, mostly tied to real estate deals gone bad.

Avalon Advisors' Big Buys in the Fourth Quarter
Aubrey is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Avalon Advisors Llc is an investment manager of wealthy families, foundations, endowments, and trusts. The firm, which manages $1.46 billion worth of assets as of the end of December 2012, is one of the top fee-only advisers whose competitive advantage is to bring its clients' tax-efficient, risk-adjusted returns. Let's take a look at the investment manager's huge buys for potential investment ideas.
In the fourth quarter, Avalon bought significant amounts of shares in Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG). Likewise, it initiated positions in Citigroup (NYSE: C), Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM), and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS). In this article I'll briefly analyze each stock in a simplistic and intuitive approach.
Sources: Whalewisdom.com, Finviz.com, and Nasdaq.com; as of Feb. 8, 2013
Oracle Corporation
The investment manager doubled its holding in Oracle in the fourth quarter, a position that was initiated only the third quarter. As of the end of December last year, the holding was equivalent to 1.12 percent of the firm's total portfolio. Back then, shares of Oracle were selling for roughly $32.00. As of publication time, it has gone up by about 9 percent to $34.90. Its growth prospects show this is likely to continue as the company continues to develop an edge in the sector. For instance, Oracle has just announced a $2.1 billion acquisition of networking specialist Acme Packet (APKT). This and other acquisitions the company has recently made show the company's intent to continue beefing up its telecoms business.
Looking at its fundamentals, the company is very attractive indeed. The trends of EPS, margins, sales, and dividend payments are all very good. Its latest quarterly revenue growth of 3.43% for November, 2012 is higher than that of the same period in the previous year at 2.45%. The company has exceeded EPS estimates in the fiscal quarter ending in November 2012, and the dividend growth is remarkable. The annualized dividend almost doubled from 23 cents in 2011 to 42 in 2012. The company paid dividends five times last year as shown in the figure below. With a healthy P/E ratio of 16.46 and PEG at 1.38, you should be sleeping well if you've made the same decision that Avalon Advisors had taken.

Procter & Gamble Co.
Avalon went on a buying spree for P&G shares in the fourth quarter; it increased its shares six-folds. This brought the stake to 198,105, or 0.92% of the firm's total portfolio. The stock price has jumped from under $70 towards the end of the fourth quarter to around $75 as of publication date.
Indeed, the leading consumer packaged goods company is growing robustly. P&G has been surpassing earnings consensus estimates for the past 4 quarterly reports. Revenue is picking up impressively, with the most recent growth at around 2 percent. This stock is highly favored not only for its leadership in the market but because it is a powerhouse in terms of dividend growth and safety; the annualized amount has just inched up 7.5% from $2.056 in 2011 to $2.21 in 2012. With its current growth trends and prospects, the robust growth in the stock price is likely to continue.

Source: Nasdaq.com
Avalon initiated a position in Citigroup worth $12.98 million, which is equivalent to 0.89% of the firm's portfolio. As of the end of December 2102, the stock price was a much lower level, at about $35. Today, as of publication time, the price has gone past $42. Citigroup is now at the final phase of a spinoff with its hedge fund unit previously managed by the company's division - Citi Capital Advisors, now renamed as Napier Park Global Capital. The company has exhibited a large jump in net income in the fourth quarter; from 31 cents a year earlier, earnings per diluted share reached 38 cents. However, it has failed to meet earnings expectations by a notable margin of 20 percent. This is attributed to increased litigation costs and lower benefits from releasing loan-loss reserves, reports noted. Despite this, Citigroup remains strong for its wider margins and healthy valuation. The profit margin for the end of 2012 at 5.35% was notably higher than that in the previous year's 4.25%. It has a healthy P/E ratio of 17.14 and a PEG at 1.47. Its dividend payment also remains stable at 1 cent per share.
Source: Nasdaq.com
Maxim Integrated Products
Avalon also initiated a position worth around $12.75 million in Maxim Integrated Products in the fourth quarter. The stake comprised 0.87 percent of the manager's portfolio. From the end of the year to publication period, the stock price has already gained about 10 percent (that is from about $29 to $32). Maxim, a company that designs and develops integrated circuits, faces significant growth opportunities for its relationship with the leading smartphone maker Samsung. This is in light of the expectations that the global market for smartphones will reach $259 billion in less than 3 years time.
The fundamental numbers show why Avalon favors Maxim. For one, the company has surpassed earnings expectations in all four quarters of 2012 with a surprise rate that ranges from 2 to 22 percent. This partly attributes to the profit margin remaining at a double-digit rate despite a downward trend. The 2.36% quarterly revenue growth (year-on-year) in the fourth quarter is an encouraging recovery from the negative growth in the preceding quarters. Moreover, with its yield of 2.97%, Maxim is a top dividend stock with an impressive record of stable and increasing payments, the latest of which is 7 percent above that of the earlier year. From 2006 to 2012, the annualized dividend grew by an average rate of 12 percent.

Source: Nasdaq.com
Goldman Sachs
The investment manager initiated a significant position of 80,910 shares in Goldman Sachs in the fourth quarter, which is equivalent to 0.71% of its total portfolio. This shows excellent timing because the stock price had gained quite an impressive growth of 25 percent from the end of December to time of publication (that is around $120 to $151). Analysts attribute this surge to its strong financial position and the recent sale of its shares in Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, deemed as a cut to its non-core business.
The company has been performing well in terms of earnings, surpassing expectations in all quarterly reports in 2012, with high surprise rates that range from 10 to 61 percent. Revenues had grown robustly; its quarterly revenue grew by 38.81% year-over-year based on finviz.com compiled data as of Feb. 8. Meanwhile, profit margin remains at a double-digit growth. With a healthy valuation as shown by its P/E ratio of 10.71 and PEG of 1.55, and a dividend record that did not falter even during the financial crisis, this stock is highly favored by those seeking safe dividend income.
Source: Nasdaq.com
I am deeply impressed with the mix of big buys that Avalon Advisors had in the latest quarter. It greatly shows its superior ability in managing its portfolio by choosing not only those that have promising growth potentials and improving margins but those which exhibit excellent dividend growth and safety.

South Bend, Ind. A 27-year-old man is recovering after being shot in the back three times early Saturday morning.
Police were called to the 1600 block of Longley Avenue in South Bend just before 5 a.m. where they found the victim on a porch asking for assistance.
He was able to tell police that the shooting actually happened in the 600 block of North LaPorte Avenue.
According to South Bend police, the victim said he was leaving a house on LaPorte when an unknown suspect fired shots at him.
That's when the victim took off running and ended up on Longley.
A woman that lives on Longley street says the man banged on her door and asked her to call the police.
Authorities took the victim to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries, he could be released as early as Sunday.
The victim said he thinks robbery was the motive behind this shooting.
Police have a very basic description of the suspect -- and no arrests have been made.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State each had their clutch hits. The Cowboys just had more as they beat the Sooners 4-3 in Game 1 of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Bedlam Series Friday at ONEOK Field. All seven runs were scored on two-out RBIs.
Oklahoma (34-15, 11-8 Big 12) put its runs on the scoreboard with one swing by junior second baseman Hector Lorenzana in the fourth inning. Lorenzana drove a 1-2 fastball towards downtown Tulsa, flipping outfielder Zach Fish into his team's bullpen past the right field fence and scoring Max White and Hunter Haley.
The Sooners never put another runner into scoring position.
Oklahoma State evened the score in the next half inning. The fifth began with a leadoff walk by Trey Whaley and double by Gage Green. Three at-bats later, Tanner Krietemeier singled to center field to plate the duo.
Cowboys third baseman Robbie Rea led off the eighth with a single to right field and advanced to second after a sacrifice bunt. OU reliever Ethan Carnes (2-3) forced a line out the next at-bat but was then hit into left center by Green for the game-winning run.
Oklahoma State's Jason Hursh (5-4) pitched a complete game, recording a season-high nine strikeouts to just one walk.
The two teams meet for round two Saturday at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City at 2 p.m. OU's ace Jonathan Gray (8-1, 1.20 ERA) is expected to face OSU's Tyler Nurdin (2-2, 1.89 ERA).
The game will be televised on FSN.

While boxing was Odets' metaphor for Hollywood — the potential for fame and monetary success — Numrich says he could easily relate to the life of a musician. "There's no job security but you do it because you have a passion for it, like being a stage actor," he says, pointing out that he's had one Off-Broadway role since War Horse ("it paid less than unemployment") and has no role lined up after this show ends its run, which is both "exciting and scary."
Of course, so far Numrich has led a more charmed life than Joe Bonaparte. He grew up in the Twin Cities, where his father worked in theatre, and where by age 12, Numrich was acting at the Guthrie Theater alongside Laila Robins in David Esbjornson's production of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. "That's when I realized it was possible for me to be a professional actor," he says.
Numrich was home-schooled and graduated high school at 15; on a whim he traveled to Chicago for Juilliard's regional tryouts, figuring it would be a valuable lesson and he'd come back the next year. "I had less invested than most people so I wasn't terribly nervous," he says. "That's what fooled them."
He became the youngest Juilliard drama student ever, which was "scary" at first — "I felt an obligation to prove they hadn't made a mistake," he says, adding that initially "I took myself too seriously."
His first big breaks came back-to-back, and in perfect sequence. After he was cast in War Horse, he had six months to get nervous about starring on Broadway. Then he landed a supporting role as Lorenzo in the Broadway production of The Merchant of Venice. "It was great because I wasn't terribly responsible for how good it was," he says, adding that it was "inspiring" watching the whole ensemble, but especially Al Pacino. "He was constantly exploring the role to keep things fresh. He'd even call occasional rehearsals to work on a particular moment."
Now Numrich is establishing his credentials as a leading man, thanks to what Sher calls his "his courage and his piercing intelligence — he takes different strands and connects them together."
But Numrich isn't thinking of Joe Bonaparte as a star turn. Instead he admires the approach of Odets and the Group Theatre, working together to create new works. "I want to live up to the work of the play when it was first performed," he says, praising Sher's approach. "Our work in the rehearsal room feels reflective of the Group. Bart really gives us time to grapple with the big ideas of the play and do it as an ensemble."

CAMBRIDGE — An emotional debate over the fate of a Martin Luther King Jr.-themed mural on a condemned school building named for King has evolved into a pledge by the city to take a more active role in caring for its schoolhouse art.
Demolition of the Martin Luther King Jr. School on Putnam Avenue is scheduled to begin within weeks, and a new school of the same name will be erected on the site. For several months, Cambridge-based artist David Fichter and an alliance of parents, former students, and teachers contended with officials over the city's seeming unwillingness to promise a home for the mural, titled "Furthering the Dream," on or in the new building.

Version 1.08 alphabetically sorts bus-stops in the Favourites view. You can control this in the Settings menu. This update also increases the brightness of the departures text to help readability outdoors. A great update!
Version 1.07 fixes a bug where bus stops were referenced in the database by name, rather than by a unique ID. This new version resolves this problem so now it is possible to add both directions of a bus stop to your favourites.

Thanks for this great app - certainly works just fine for buses in Crawley. I quickly added all of my most used bus stops as favourites and the real time updates are invaluable! One thing - could you add the ability to sort favourites alphabetically?
(74 stars)
Having downloaded and found little for Crawley, I contacted Ian, the App creator who quickly added access to the Metrobus routes covering the Crawley area. Very satisfied!

"Like Someone in Love" is the latest small, perplexing masterpiece from the Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, who in recent years has chosen the path of a world director. While still based in Iran (where his colleague, Jafar Panahi, makes films illegally and is forbidden to travel abroad), Kiarostami ventured to Tuscany with Juliette Binoche for the Pirandellian romance "Certified Copy" (2010) and has now landed in Tokyo with a Japanese cast and script. It turns out that his concerns and talents — his gift for tangled human poetry — are stateless.
The new film is slender, and it plays obliquely with the style of the 20th-century Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu: simple shots of simple people revealing universal truths. But there is more going on in "Like Someone in Love" than it seems initially. A pretty, stressed-out college student named Akiko (Rin Takanashi) is revealed to be moonlighting as a call girl. Her latest client is a retired sociology professor, Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), who may want a dinner companion to ward off loneliness, or who may want more. The meaning is in the gaps the director leaves for us to fill.

I do my best to bring a canvas bag along whenever I'm planning on buying something. It just make sense, it saves everybody time and energy and frankly they're easier to carry than those little plastic ones.
But sometimes I don't know when I'm going to buy something, or I forget the bag. Which is purchase viagra canada where the theglobalobservatory.org Flip and Tumble bag comes in. The idea is that it's so small and lightweight you can take it anywhere with you. It's made of low-density, high strength nylon and is about the size of a tennis ball. Pop it open, and it's a good sized grocery bag!
This is great for folks with purses (not me) or even big pockets (me) as you can carry it around all the time, without having to remember to bring your big bulky bag if you might be buying something.
Then, to close it up, you basically just fold it up the way you ball up your socks when you're putting them away...and you've got your little tennis ball again!
They're on sale now for 15 bucks, though they won't ship until November 1st. I can't think of a better stocking stuffer.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- It's hard to stay in the holiday spirit when instead of watching loved ones unwrap the perfect gift, you have to drive to a warehouse to get it.
Some FedEx customers who didn't get their gifts in time were able to pick them up at FedEx ship centers, but there was a good amount of people that walked away empty-handed and frustrated this Christmas day.
"Here I am, and nothing," Needham resident David Seligman said outside of a FedEx ship center. "No package. No food item for my Christmas holiday and the excuse from FedEx was, 'we had too many packages.'"
Bad weather, under-staffing and overloaded systems had FedEx apologizing to customers who were promised their packages by Christmas, but failed to get them on time.
A spokesman for the shipping giant told Fox 25 that FedEx delivered 275 million shipments between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but would only say very few were delayed.
Wellesley resident Mitchell Jacobs said he's taking the snafu in stride.
"We're just happy to get what we had ordered," he said.
Then again, he did get his package.
FedEx said they contacted the affected customers with packages available for pick-up.

We meet both familiar and new characters in the downstairs story of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. There's Mrs. Hill, of course, but housemaids Sarah and Polly along with Mr. Hill and the mysterious new footman James Smith. Oh, yes, and there's Mr. Bingley's footman with many reasons to come to call at Longbourn. If people fault Jo Baker it will be for her slightly too contemporary sensibilities. But, I liked this alot. She's stays close to Austen's narrative, but infuses much more history—the war with the French, the triangle of trade that brought sugar to England, but took enslaved people to the Caribbean. James and Sarah are wonderful protagonists who you so hope have a happy ending, too.

He once said there was no shame in his game, but now Wayne County Circuit Judge Wade McCree is fighting to save his job and his career. Monday, the woman who was once his mistress testified about their numerous sexual encounters.The star witness for the Judicial Tenure Commission, that's the fact finding group for the Michigan Supreme Court, talked sex and more sex."Between May and November of 2012, did you engage in sexual conduct with Judge McCree?" Geniene Mott was asked."Yes, I did," she answered."Numerous times?" she was asked."Yes," Mott said."At least twice at the Westin hotel?" she was asked."Yes," she replied."How about Judge McCree's marital home?" she was asked. "Yes," she said."How about your house?" she was asked."Yes," she said.Mott testified that she's pregnant today, but is it the judge's child?"Ms. Mott, you were never pregnant with Judge McCree's child, were you?" McCree's attorney Brian Einhorn asked her."Yes, indeed I was," she answered."You're not pregnant with his child now, are you?" she was asked."I'm not answering any questions related to my pregnancy," Mott said."You're not pregnant with his child, are you," she was asked again."Objection, asked and answered. She said yes she was," an opposing lawyer said."You're pregnant right now with his child?" Einhorn asked Mott."I'm not answering any questions related to my pregnancy," she said."Judge, may I have answers to the questions?" Einhorn asked."No," the judge responded.
"My pregnancy is protected by both HIPPA and doctor-patient confidentiality," Mott said.
Mott also testified that McCree gave her $5,000 for a down payment on a house.
At issue is whether McCree committed judicial malpractice. On Tuesday, we will hear from McCree, who had no comment as he left court.

Figure 1: All retailing seasonally adjusted sales volumes and values
Download chart
XLS format
(29 Kb)
ONS estimates of retail sales continue to show growth in the retail industry. In September 2013 the quantity bought increased by 2.2% compared with September 2012 and by 0.6% compared with August 2013. With three month-on-three month growth rates increasing for seven consecutive months these estimates show an underlying trend of growth in the retail industry.
Quarter-on-quarter, the quantity bought in the retail industry increased by 1.5%. This is the largest quarter-on-quarter rise since March 2008 when the economy as a whole was at its peak, before the economic downturn.
Of the four main retail sectors, non-food stores and non-store retailing saw an increase in the quantity bought in September 2013 compared with September 2012, with increases of 3.6% and 19.1% respectively. Food stores and petrol stations (including supermarket petrol stations) saw falls in the quantity bought of 0.6% and 2.4% respectively over the same period.
The amount spent in the retail industry continued to increase, in September 2013 the amount spent increased by 3.2% compared with September 2012 and by 0.5% compared with August 2013. Non-seasonally adjusted data show the average weekly spend in September 2013 was £6.8 billion.
Store price inflation as measured by the implied price deflator showed that price increases in the retail industry continued to slow, with average prices increasing 0.9% year on year compared with 1.6% in August 2013.

MOSSAD SPY VULTURE seized in Saudi Arabia
A cunning Israeli plan to use Mossad-operated spy vultures to glean valuable intelligence on Arab nations went seriously awry when one of the feathered spooks was arrested in rural Saudi Arabia. According to Israel's Ha'aretz, government operatives' attempts to disguise the bird as a participant in a vulture migratory study - by …
Too Early
erm, literally a vulture? A spying vulture? Arrested? How do you arrest a vulture? How do you operate a vulture for that matter? Why did Israel's media report it? Is this a joke? I don't understand!
RE: Too Early
I think the Israelis are poking fun at their hyper-paranoid neighbours. Few people in the West realise just how paranoid the average Arab in the suk is regarding Israel, they view all Israelis as super-devious demons with almost magical powers to do wrong. We used to play a game every time we went to Cairo to see what was the most rediculous story we could hear from the taxi drivers, and they're reasonably educated compared to the Egyptians out in the sticks! If there's a drought, blame it on Israel ("The Israelis are using the Dimona nuke plant to heat up the air and cause drought in Egypt!"). The local mosquitos get more resistant to spraying, blame it on Israel ("The Israelis have been using chemical weapons since 1948, they made super-resistant mosquitos to ruin our tourist industry!"). Best yet was the one that bras were causing Egyptian women to become impotent, all due to Israelis and Jews in the international clothes trade! You can play this game anywhere in the Middle East, Turkey or Birmingham.
Sadly this is what Israel has to put up with.
This kind of story sounds like a joke but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, not in the least. Someone wise once said, the problem about Israel and the Arabs is simple to see but hard to sort out.
One side just appears to want the other side dead.
Who wants what?
Consider these 2 separate and unlikely events and their likely aftermath:
1. What would happen if Israel laid down all its arms and said, I don't want to fight any one no more? What would its Arab neighbours do?
2. What would happen, conversely, if all of Israel's other adversaries did that instead? What would Israel do?
Who would take advantage of whom?
You only have to think back to 1967, 1973. This is why I have nothing but utmost respect for the state of Israel, its people and their fight and struggle to exist.
(And no, I am not Jewish, I love my bacon too much)
Maybe the problem is that 60-odd years ago, a huge area of land was stolen from the indigenous arabs (primarily by us Brits) and used to create Israel? And then, not content with the land that they already had, Israel started to take even more land from the surrounding area, year-on-year. And since then, for some inexplicable reason, the arabs have been really quite pissed off about the whole thing.
And no, I'm not an arab.
Best not to mention...
..the fact that Isreal was built on Muslim Arab land mainly taken by force then....
And no I'm not a Muslim, Jew, Christian or jedi beliver. I love bacon and beef to much.
Re: Best not to mention...
Please let us not get into this. Please? Unless anyone seriously thinks they've got a new angle which may finally bring peace to the middle east.
> bras were causing Egyptian women to become impotent
If Egyptian women are becoming impotent then I think there's a bigger problem.
New angle?
Sorry, all 360 degrees have been spoken for.
But then again, there's always imaginary numbers.
So how about 90i degrees? I call it the "firm-belief-that-you're-right angle". This explains not only the Arab-Israeli conflict, but also the LibDem/Tory coalition; the war in Afghanistan; the Daily Mail....
Re : .. or ...
to the two people that voted hands-down on the original comment:
Thank you for your opinion. Also, try to keep in mind that even if you don't like it, the described scenario is actually what hapenned.
The dirty truth.
> ..the fact that Isreal was built on Muslim Arab land mainly taken by force then....
...which doesn't alter the fact that a "Palestinian" in Israel is still likely to get better treatment and more justice from the government of Israel. Pan Arab treatment and exploitation of the Palestinians is actually pretty shameful.
An Arab in Israel at least has some hope of due process.
Although, the way that Arabs in Bethlehem celebrate New Years is very illuminating.
Rewriting History Again?
As I recall, the creation of the State of Israel was sanctioned by the United Nations. The pen signing the declaration, which transferred land under British Mandate, barely lifted from the document when the Arab Legion, trained by the Brits, launched an attacked on the Zionist Palestinian Jews, also known as the 1948 War.
Some corrections
1. "huge area of land"?! Perhaps you should check out how Israel compares to some other countries http://www.iris.org.il/sizemaps.htm (Israel is just a bit larger than New Jersey).
2. Those "indigenous arabs" arrived in the land of Israel after the Jews were kicked out
3. "Israel started to take even more land" That is what happens when you attack a peaceful country and lose.
No, it's not exactly what happened.
It's a lot of truth with a big lie in the middle. Yes, it was pretty much mucked up by British diplomats once more engaged in The Great Game, but the land was under British control and the Jews paid for the land they occupied. They only resorted to arms after the Muslims attacked. Seems to be what Muslims are most noted for in the world the last 70 years or so. Of course it also turns out that the Israelis were much better with arms than the Arabs were, which more or less brings us to the current situation.
RE: ...or...
Are you posting from a small village in Egypt? Get all your history from Cairo cabbies? I take it you completely forgot about the State of Transjordan (AKA Jordan), created expressly for the Arabs out of 74% of the original Mandate land? I'll try and look suprised that you know next to nothing.
RE: Best not to mention...
"....the fact that Isreal was built on Muslim Arab land...." According to know-nothings like you, the whole of Spain is Muslim land, do you want to give that to the Palestinians as well? You forget Israel was also Jewish and Christain and who knows how many different religions laid claim to it before the Arabs swept out of the Saudi desert. Arabs and Islam are NOT from the area, and have been in the area for a lot less time than the Christians or the Jews. Shall we give it back to the Italians seeing as the Romans were once in control of the area? The Egyptians, because the Pharaohs had a time there too?
"....And no I'm not a Muslim, Jew, Christian or jedi beliver...." Obviously not a history major either.

>"Israel started to take even more land" That is what happens when you attack a peaceful country and lose.
The 67 war was started by israel, the israeli propaganda machine has been very good at switching the blame.
Also consider that israel was formed by acts of terrorism stern gang anyone!
Peace to the middle east
I have the solution to peace in the middle east. Israel is 22,000 some odd kilometre square. We have islands bigger than that. Israel could ask Canada nicely, and I am perfectly certain we could carve out a chunk of Saskatchewan for their entire population. I am sure they could either become another province within the Canadian confederation, or perhaps they could even buy the land and retain statehood as their own country.
The land currently called "Israel" in the middle east becomes Palestine and bob's yer uncle.
I know, I know...many people would not like the idea of "giving up their homes," but let's be honest here...the Israeli are culturally closer to North Americans than any of their neighbours...and Israel surely has enough money to functionally build themselves a brand new country's worth of infrastructure if they were provided suitable land. I don't think North Americans would mind sharing...especially if it means the Middle East would simmer down a little.
I honestly don't understand why this hasn't been proposed before. I am pretty sure that it would pass muster in a referendum here in Canada…especially if we were getting paid in some form for the land. (Either by their retaining a province or buying it outright.) The US has gobs of land too…they might consider it since Israel is their "special friend." Maybe the solution to tensions in the Middle East is simply to relocate the cause of the tensions?
Might result in fewer lives lost.
...well actually...
The Brits tried to pull a fast one and turn Jerusalem over to the Arabs before they were scheduled to bug out. Didn't work too well. There was considerable animosity between Israelis and Brits at the time. The only reason the latter did anything to benefit the former was Truman twisting their arm.
@Sarah Bee
The solution is both simple and complex at the same time.
Whatever happened in the past, Israel is here today.
Leave her alone, leave her in peace, and ... there will be peace.
It is only complex because there are certain people that just won't let things go. Maybe they can not because of their current mindset or beliefs - they would do well to examine these. Maybe this is the problem.
I can say it can work.
Forgive, forget, move on.
Most of Ireland (at least I can say this of the free south) does not bear much animosity to you Brits. Fact is, most of us are probably more fond of you than we are of the Yanks, to tell you the truth. American tourists can be fairly annoying :)
corrections to more corrections
There's opinion on both sides whether the 67 war was started by Israel or whether the actions of Egypt, Libya, constituted causus belli; in hindsight it's easy to forget that at the time it was not at all obvious that Egypt and its allies wouldn't steamroller Israel. The concept of Israel starting the war to gain territory is kind of like suggesting Canada might attack Russia to win some territory. However, since Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt when a treaty was signed, that's currently irrelevant.
On the other hand, there's no doubt whatsoever that Israel notified Jordan publicly that they had no quarrel and if Jordan remained neutral they would not be attacked; Jordan attacked anyway, and as a result lost the West Bank (which they had, of course, captured and annexed from the stillborn Palestinian state in 1948).
Some corrections continued
and, a lot of those "indigenous arabs" arrived in the land of Israel after the Jews started returning, attracted by the prospect of an economy moving out of the feudal era. Ironic that these people, who would naturally be the best allies for the Israelis, end up being their enemies.
It's Diorama time
Might I suggest the use of Playmobil sets 4203 and 4500?
"Claims that Israel is mounting a zoological assault outside its borders are not without precedent."
backwards & superstitious peasants springs to mind.
You'll have to make this clear
Are you referring to the Israelis, Palestinians or the Americans?
Bloody titles
@ are you referring to
Or the country where you get a flash mob threatening to burn down the home of a paediatrician?

No, to the nation that drew the maps.

I have recently become concerned about the flock of sparrows that sit outside my window.
They seem to always be interested in my movements.
My suspicions were confirmed after I played Hava Nagila loudly on my gramophone whereupon the sparrows formed a circle and started to dance!
That's the last time I buy bird food from Lidl.

Frikkin Laser
Any article that manages to fit in 'Frikkin Lasers' into the content deserves a 10/10 from me
They are all a bunch of fucking illogical religious prats.
Kinda like my own government ...
See above post
What part of the word "all" ...
... do you fail to understand? Fucking fundies (of all stripes) will be first up against the wall, come the revolution. After lawyers. And politicians.
I particularly like...
The obvious double bluff of including "Tel Aviv University" on the tag in an attempt to fool the Saudis into thinking it was actually one of the vultures they sent to Isreal with a fake identity.
The real question is "was the vulture trained by the Saudis or another Arab country and turned by Mossad (i.e. a double agent) or was it originally trained by Mossad, turned by an Arab country only to be turned back by Mossad (a triple agent)...
If it was really from Mossad...
...it would be carrying a fake British passport.
You mean a fake "University of Cambridge" tag, right?
Fixed that for ya...
@Uncle Slacky: No, a Legitimate German Passport
Yes, no joking here. Mossad obtained a proper German passport due to former German Jews' Childrens right to get a German passport.
The Vulture was trained in the UK
Since Wikileaks couldn't bring you this...
The vulture gained some of its spy skills while training in the UK.
The UK location is 33 Glasshouse Street, London, where said Vulture received some of its corresponding and writing skills. Really this meant training the bird to peck at keys as it wrote out its story on what it saw.
I seriously doubt the El Reg moderator will let this post through since by detailing the address, I've given a clue as to the identity of the spy organization which had assisted the Israelis.
Maybe Sarah Bee will want to comment about their involvement in the CCD stories from yesterday. Cub Reporter Bee commenting on CDC...
In other news...
... the people of Hartlepool have hung a French monkey. Though it was a very long time ago and it now seems it might be an urban myth.
Nope it is true
I can't remember if it was Hartlepool, but the event definitely took place. I seem to remember a similar event took place during the Great Fire of London, which was originally blamed on foreign insurgents.
It's true!
Hartlepool did in fact hang a monkey they believed to be a French spy. They even have a statue if memory serves me right... The good people of Hartlepool are know affectionately around these parts as "Monkey-Hangers".
"the people of Hartlepool have hung a French monkey"
Did they torture the monkey beforehand by spanking it?
Worse than that
One side of the tag read :
'If found please return to Tel Aviv University'
But the other read :
'My name is Mohammed'
a robot spyplane disguised as a bird, or an actual bird with a camera?
Point and click
So was there also a miniature camera attached to the bird, or not?
Without that information, we have no idea whether or not the claims are even remotely valid.
After all, what a great way that would be to get aerial pics almost for free... you'd have to sacrifice the ability to steer, but if you already know the migratory route and think there's something interesting right under it, then why not...?
Nothing to see here.
There is absolutely nothing of any interest to anyone in Saudi Arabia. Even if one's bird should miraculously fly over an isolated inhabited area, there still won't be anything interesting happening.
Anything interesting or remotely entertaining is illegal.
Dare I say...
The bird is the word?

For most of yesterday, and what will be the majority of today until tonight (if my incompetent ISP was actually right about the problem for once), my internet was, and will be, completely out. I'm sitting in a Starbucks on my MacBook right now, hoping that I don't look like too much of a stereotype, catching up on everything before getting back to work. Surprisingly, even though I have about four books in progress, I won't be working on any of them. I will be editing books for clients, but I digress.
Regardless, the past number of hours has been excruciating. I once wrote a post on another social network about how having to go without technology for a while doesn't really bother me too much, but there are exceptions. One of the biggest ones is during a time when I have a ton of work to do and when I'm on a very tight deadline. Right now is one of those times. I'm at the point where I'm spending pretty much every waking hour doing some kind of work, and I usually meet the deadline sleep-deprived and delirious. The fact that I do pretty much 100% of my work online is a very bad thing when the internet decides to go out. Which, of course, would only happen when I have very little time left to work. Thanks, life.
The other exception is the fact that there are certain people I'm very close to that I can only talk to using the internet. Going a while without that kind of sucks. Whenever I do feel any sort of desire to get on the internet, it's not for checking up on social networks, reading celebrity gossip or anything of the sort — it only really has to do with work-related things or talking to these specific people.
Essentially, I need time to prepare. If I'm going to take a trip, if I'm going somewhere for a few days, whatever, it's all okay if I have time to get ready for it. I don't really have withdrawal symptoms. The only time I have a problem is when I'm caught unprepared; I'm almost always in the middle of something, so if the internet conks out for hours (or days, like now, figures), then I can't get my mind off the stuff I should be doing, but can't.
Regardless, I'll find out tonight if my ISP actually has any semblance of brainpower left. I've had very few good experiences with them lately, which is a shame since they used to be so cool. When that happens, I will spend half a joyful minute catching up on everything I missed, then get straight back to work.
Such is life. How do you deal with the lack of internets?

The driver of a logging truck was cited in a crash that blocked both westbound lanes of S.C. 9 Bypass for a few hours on Tuesday.
Lancaster Police Department Capt. Harlean Howard said Dewayne Jovon Anthony, 27, of 317 W. Hammond St., Lancaster, was charged with driving too fast for conditions.
According to an accident report, Anthony was driving a logging truck owned by Kerwest of Westville west on S.C. 9 Bypass about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Two Kershaw residents were arrested after a purse-snatching at BI-LO at the Lancers Center on Dec. 5.
William Lessie Gainey, 38, of 3670 Goldmine Highway, and Misty Dobson, 34, of 3424 Roll Lane, were charged by the Lancaster Police Department with purse snatching, Lancaster Police Chief Hugh White said.
According to a police department incident report, a woman told officers she was in the meat department of the store when she was approached by Dobson about 9 p.m.
Plates full of turkey, rice and string beans were received with gratitude by those at the Greater New Hope Soup Kitchen on Wednesday afternoon.
A few hundred people visited the kitchen on Ferguson Street in Lancaster to not only get a hot meal, but also receive some holiday cheer at Greater New Hope Christian Association and Outreach Ministries' Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner. It was open to anyone in the community who wanted a meal.
Half a year has passed since Lancaster County Council last discussed the idea of business licenses, but absence has not made some council members' hearts grow fonder.
Councilman Larry McCullough, who brought the idea of business licenses to the table in May, presented the issue again at council's Dec. 7 meeting. With no progress made on the issue after so many months, McCullough said it was time for council to make a decision on whether to move forward with plans for business licenses or not.
More than 20 people showed up Tuesday for the first meeting of District 3's new action council.
Formed by County Councilman Cotton Cole, the group of residents met at Cotton Cole Auctions for its inaugural meeting. Inspired by the Indian Land Action Council, a grassroots organization in the county's Panhandle, Cole formed the group to give residents a voice in county issues.
To combat crime throughout the county, County Council is considering a number of grant requests to help with equipment and personnel for the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Barry Faile recently requested that council allow his office to pursue several grants. This includes a continuation of its crime-scene investigators grants and a grant to outfit patrol cars with vital computer equipment.
It appears Lancaster County will see some kind of frozen precipitation in the next couple days, but forecasters aren't sure if it will be sleet, snow or freezing rain.
According to meteorologists with Duke Energy, an area of low pressure from the Gulf of Mexico was expected to track across northern Florida on Friday and up the Eastern Coast on Saturday.
Greg Blackmon said business at his tax service – RB Tax, LLC – has grown so much that he and business partner, Jim Robinson, were left with no choice but to look for another location.
Now there's a good chance the South White Street business will move to Chesterfield Avenue.
Lancaster City Council on Dec. 8 unanimously passed first reading of an ordinance to rezone property at 1209 Chesterfield Ave. from residential (R-6) to neighborhood commercial (B-2).
The lines at the Lancaster post office on Main Street stretched past the vestibule and out the front door on Monday afternoon.
Those waiting in line were part of what has been called the busiest day of the year for the U.S. Postal Service. Across the country, the average daily mail volume increased by 40 percent on Monday, according to the U.S. Postal Service.
"Bring on the rush – we are ready to deliver," said Patrick Donahoe, the postal service's deputy postmaster general and chief operating officer.
As part of its plans to resolve problems at the stalled Edenmoor development in Indian Land, Lancaster County Council will provide funding for an engineering study of the property.
Council will spend up to $14,800 in engineering assistance for the McNair Law Firm, the county's attorney, in its ongoing analysis of the Edenmoor property. The decision came after council met in closed session Dec. 7.

Frost Death Knight DPS Gear and Best in Slot (MoP 5.4)
This page is a gearing up guide for Frost Death Knights. It is updated for World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. It first presents the best in slot items before listing, slot by slot, all the items, with a level higher than 346, that you can acquire in the game. We also explain how you will be competing for loot with other classes.
The other pages of our Frost Death Knight guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Mendenbarr, a prominent theorycrafter who maintains Death Knight guides on Elitist Jerks. He also works on Destiny Softworks, a blog for DPS Death Knights.
1. Best in Slot Advice↑top
With the advent of Thunderforged and Warforged weapons, BiS lists are much less valuable a resource than before, because we would be advising a list of items that not even the best players would have a chance to complete. Instead, we now give you advice for choosing your trinkets, your set bonuses, and whatever else is important for your class.
- The best you can get is Thok's Tail Tip, with Evil Eye of Galakras being a close second. Thok's Tail Tip offers the most DPS, while Evil Eye of Galakras offers DPS and survivability (as it lets you use your personal cooldowns more often).
- Regarding the other trinket options:
- Skeer's Bloodsoaked Talisman is weaker than the two aforementioned trinkets, but it can be used as an alternative, if these trinkets do not drop for you;
- Fusion-Fire Core is very good for cleaving, but is extremely weak for single-target DPS. It is arguably the best trinkets on fights like Spoils of Pandaria or Galakras, but it is almost useless on other fights.
- For more detailed trinket rankings, please refer to the work of our reviewer on Elitist Jerks.
- For weapons, the most important thing to consider is item level. Stats do not matter very much, but it is a bit better to grab One-Handed weapons with Mastery Rating and Two-Handed weapons with Critical Strike Rating, avoiding Haste/Hit Rating whenever possible (although you should only make this distinction when comparing weapons of the same item level).
- Both Tier 16 set bonuses are quite strong for Frost Death Knights (approximately a 2% DPS gain) and should be a high priority, especially when considering how weak the Tier 15 set bonuses where. So, drop your Tier 15 bonuses as soon as you can equip higher item level gear and aim for 4 pieces of Tier 16 (the ideal off-set item being the Legs).
For the rest of your equipment, you should look for upgrades that match your stat priority. For that, we advise you to Ask Mr. Robot, by filling the form below.
2. Gearing Up↑top
When gearing up, we advise you to always prioritise pieces of Tier sets over non-set pieces of higher item level.
In each table, the items are ranked by item level and then alphabetically.
2.1. Head
2.2. Amulet
2.3. Shoulders
2.4. Cloak
2.5. Chest
2.6. Wrists
2.7. Hands
2.8. Waist
2.9. Legs
2.10. Feet
2.11. Ring
2.12. Trinket
2.13. Main-Hand Weapon
2.14. Off-Hand Weapon
2.15. Two-Handed Weapon
3. Loot Competition↑top
Apart from other Frost Death Knights, you will also be competing for items with the classes listed below:
|Item Type
|Competing Classes
|Tier Tokens
|Blood/Unholy Death Knights, Druids, Mages, and Rogues
|Unholy Death knights, Retribution Paladins, and Arms/Fury Warriors
|One-Handed Weapons
|Two-Handed Weapons
* Keep in mind that, pieces of gear without tanking statistics may be the best choice for tanks. This is the case of many Strength items with Mastery Rating.
4. Changelog↑top
- 20 Oct. 2013: Added BiS advice.
- 15 Jul. 2013: Added item level 600 cloaks.
- 23 Apr. 2013: Replaced Spark of Zandalar with Fabled Feather of Ji-Kun in the Two-Handed BiS list.
- 14 Apr. 2013: Added 5.2 BiS gear.
- 03 Apr. 2013: Added items with Haste Rating as items which Frost Death Knights may compete for with Protection Paladins and Protection Warriors.
- 03 Apr. 2013: Added items from last bosses in Throne of Thunder (including Ra-den).

Spreading Its Wings
Will an invigorated independent Island Air reach a comfortable altitude in Hawaii's skies?
If he was trying to win friends among his new employees, new chief executive officer Rob Mauracher would have hit that mark in his first days at Island Air, when he gave everyone fat raises.
"We gave 30 percent raises to 200 employees," says Mauracher.
Despite prevailing wisdom that escalating labor costs along with fuel costs were the soft underbelly of an airline industry rife with bankruptcies, Mauracher and Island Air's new owners had a clear vision.
|ISLAND BOUND: A digital rendering of Island Air's new 78-seat turbo-prop planes.
Island Air, with its fleet of eight, 37-seat turbo-prop planes, was gearing up to become Hawaii's alternative to long lines in crowded airports, with the friendliest, most attentive service in the market. "So we needed to invest in our employees. We needed them to become part of our family," Mauracher says.
That was just the beginning for Mauracher, who was hired by Gavarnie Holdings, a family-owned, San Francisco-based company that bought the airline from Aloha Airlines in 2004. Mauracher, who started in January 2005, says the airline invested in information technology (IT) to handle everything from payroll to Web check-ins and equipment upgrades. "We have made a significant investment dollar-wise, and we have done so, so we can now grow the airline without adding overhead cost," Mauracher says.
|source: digital rendering and map graphic courtesy of Island Air
In the past year, Mauracher says, Island Air has hired another 200 people, nearly doubled its flights per day to 88, and increased the number of passengers carried from 300,000 to 600,000. That was done in a large part by adding new routes: Island Air now flies to all major Hawaii airports and smaller airports, such as Molokai, Lanai and Kapalua in west Maui. It flies more Hawaii routes than any other airline.
Island Air's revenue in 2005 jumped from $18 million to $43 million, though Mauracher declined to give the profit margin. Mauracher describes the fares for Island Air as competitive, but still maturing. A search of Internet prices found one-way tickets starting from the low $30 range up to roundtrip prices comparable with Aloha and Hawaiian. To grab business travelers, Island Air also offers a low $10 to $20 charge to change a flight, with no charge to change to standby. Island Air also offers charter service.
This month, the first of three new, 78-seat turbo-prop planes arrives. The last should arrive by summer. Then Island Air plans to increase its routes even more.
When the first 78-seater comes online, Island Air plans a media blitz to dispel preconceptions about prop planes. "People have a vision of World War II bombers. In reality, [turbo-prop planes] are more advanced than anything Aloha and Hawaiian are flying today," Maraucher says.
Speaking of Hawaiian and Aloha, Mauracher says he does see those airlines – or even a potential newcomer like Mesa Air – as competition for the expanding carrier. Island Air plans to fly around those bigger hitters, using its scheduling and routes. "Our business plan is not to go head to head," says Mauracher. "We want to stay out of their way."

House Speaker John Boehner, who has vowed to ban congressional earmarks for pork barrel projects, is warning that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin, are readying a package of special projects funding like the old "bridge to nowhere."
In a new video distributed by the Speaker's office, Boehner heralded his five-year effort to ban earmarks from major spending bills.
But, he said, "now we've got the two Democrats in the Senate who are plotting to try and reinstate pork barrel earmarks." The video shows Reid saying, "Congressionally directed spending will come back."
In a note accompanying the video, Boehner said:
Remember earmarks? The 'bridge to nowhere'? The days when politicians couldn't spend your money fast enough on pet projects?
Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Well, we could see a return of all that, if Senator Harry Reid and his party's leaders have their way.
This is what it's come to for Senate Democrats. They've shut down the Senate to good ideas — especially ones that will help create jobs — and now they're trying to revive a bad one.
We've been there, we've seen that, and we're not going back to that nonsense. As long as I'm Speaker, there will be no earmarks.
