Barnes, Maestri are top performers of Rd. Eight
Sydney outfielder Brandon Barnes and Brisbane right-hander Alex Maestri have earned Round Eight Player of the Week honours. In a weekend filled with offence, Barnes stood out from the pack by accumulating 15 RBI in the five games against Melbourne. Amid the offensive explosion, Maestri tossed the league's third complete game of the season, allowing no earned runs in a win over Canberra. A Houston Astros prospect that just joined Sydney a few weeks ago, Barnes has immediately and undeniably made his impact felt in the Blue Sox line-up. He has batted .345 and driven in 20 runs in his first 14 games, helping his team to an 11-3 record since his arrival that has rocketed them up to second place in the standings. In 16 games prior to his arrival, the Blue Sox were averaging 3.4 runs per game, but that number has jumped to an average of 6.4 with Barnes in the batting order, demonstrating how impactful he has been. This series, he put on a display that Sydney fans will not soon forget. In Thursday's series opener, he made sure the Blue Sox would continue their winning streak by taking matters into his own hands. Trailing by three in the seventh, Barnes came to the plate against Melbourne's Nic Ungs and powered a home run over the left field wall, scoring teammate David Kandilas and cutting the deficit to one. Then, in the ninth, with Sydney still down by one, Barnes brought home Kandilas and Mitch Dening with his second home run of the game, giving his team a 9-7 win. Barnes added home runs on Friday and Sunday, also connecting for a pair of doubles in the series. In five games against the Aces, he batted .375 (9-for-24) with four home runs, seven runs scored, and 15 RBI. Honourable mentions for the batting award included Perth's Tim Kennelly and Mychal Givens, as well as Melbourne's Brad Harman and Paul Weichard. Maestri, a native of Italy, has been excellent for the Bandits all season, but stepped his performance up to a new level in Thursday's start against the Cavalry. With his co-ace Yohei Yanagawa departed for Japan, the righty took matters into his own hands and made sure Brisbane would start the series with a win. He went the full nine innings for the victory, the third complete game in the ABL this season. Canberra scored only one run in the game, which was unearned, and managed just two hits, as Maestri struck out four. Between Kody Hightower's double leading off the third inning and Travis Scott's RBI double with two outs in the ninth, Maestri faced 24 batters without allowing a base knock. The win was his first since 11 November, helping Brisbane keep pace with Canberra and Melbourne in the competition for the final playoff spot. For the season, Maestri is tied for second in the ABL with 44.2 innings pitched and ranks third with 40 strikeouts. He has a 2.82 ERA and has allowed opponents to bat just .200 against him. He will be relied upon heavily to get wins for the Bandits each time he takes the mound down the stretch as they hope to achieve their first playoff appearance. Runners up for the pitching award were Maestri's teammate Justin Staatz, Adelaide's Reed Brown, Perth's Cameron Lamb, and Kellen Kmiecik of the Cavalry. In Round Nine, Barnes and the Blue Sox will be in Canberra to face the "UberGlobal" Cavalry, while Maestri and the Bandits will travel cross-country for a series with the 'Alcohol Think Again' Perth Heat. In the other series, the Jet Couriers Melbourne Aces will host the Adelaide Bite. Fans can follow games through individual team streaming and radio partners. The ABL also offers the popular Gameday technology, which tracks live pitch-by-pitch action at www.theabl.com.au.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
McIlroy abandons round, walks off course in Florida
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Rory McIlroy left before his round was even over. Tiger Woods had to rally just to stick around.
And with all that drama Friday in the Honda Classic, hardly anyone noticed that Luke Guthrie showed off his potential in a big way with a 7-under 63 to take a one-shot lead going into the weekend at PGA National.
Guthrie, pegged by many of his peers as a rookie worth watching going into the year, played bogey-free on another cool, cloudy day.
Of his seven birdies, perhaps the most impressive for the Big Ten champion from Illinois came on the sixth hole when he had mud on the side of his ball and was able to work the shot in from the right to about 10 feet.
After finishing his round, he walked into an interview room when someone mentioned that McIlroy walked off the course after being 7-over par through eight holes.
"I had no clue," Guthrie said. "I was just kind of going about my business out there."
He was at 9-under 131 and had a one-shot lead over Michael Thompson. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., is two shots back.
McIlroy, who missed the cut in Abu Dhabi and lost in the first round of the Match Play Championship in his previous two starts, made a double bogey on his second hole and rinsed two balls in the water on the 16th hole on his way to a triple bogey.
He hit his approach to the 18th in the water and never finished the hole.
He shook hands with Ernie Els and Mark Wilson and was on his way, but not before conflicting messages.
McIlroy told three reporters who followed him to his car that it was nothing physical but that he was "not in a good place mentally."
An hour later, he released a statement through his management company that he couldn't concentrate because of a sore wisdom tooth.
Woods looked as if he might join him, but he rallied to shoot 70 and make the cut on the number.

The U.S. Coast Guard's Bridging Program is moving the towing industry toward one of inspected vessels prior to the new Subchapter M regulations.
Among the requirements are installation of a fire detection system to detect engine room fires, and a fixed fire extinguishing system to protect the engine room. Sea-Fire's FireStop Fire Detection & Alarm System now has USCG approval to help towing vessel owners with compliance, in addition to its approved fire suppression systems.
Sea-Fire's modular FireStop system provides quick and clear identification of open, short and alarm conditions of fire alarms. Its 10" x 7" control panel has fire, heat and smoke monitoring capabilities.
The standard unit covers two zones, such as the engine room and an accommodation area. Each zone can have up to two detectors and/or no limit to manual call points. When the fault is detected the signal is processed and sent via CAT5 cables through the control panel to Sea-Fire's Display Panel and/or Zone Identification Panel. The weatherproof Display Panel uses LEDs to indicate alarms and faults, while the custom-designed Zone Identification Panel indicates the exact location of the detected warning. FireStop can be expanded to handle up to 16 zones with Sea-Fire's Fire Control Adapter Panel.
FireStop is designed to integrate with Sea-Fire's Pre-Engineered fixed extinguishing systems. The company offers a variety of cylinder sizes to accommodate areas from 25-1,800 cu. ft. of engine compartment volume.
These USCG approved systems operate automatically with heat sensor actuated valves, and can also be equipped with a manual discharge capability. They utilize 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid extinguishing agent. Non-toxic Novec 1230 is the safest on the marine market, with zero ozone depletion and an extremely low Global Warming Potential(GWP) of just one.

Apartments for Sale
Many property buyers think of apartments as strictly short-term for transitional periods; however, apartment living actually has many advantages over buying a house, townhouse or unit for the right buyer. For those looking to live close to the city but cannot afford to buy a standalone home then considering apartments for sale can be a great way to secure a property in your desired location.
Often apartments, particularly those situated in larger blocks, can offer amenities that you may not have when you own a house or townhouse – the most common being swimming pools, gymnasiums and tennis courts.
Finally another advantage of considering apartments for sale is the level of security, apartment living affords. Often apartments are gated, in addition some complexes also come with security at the entrance to keep an eye on the people who come into and leave the complex.

Mark R. Hinkle: "Linux is ready for the desktop"
In my view, Linux on the desktop is a viable operating system.
It offers many features that are more innovative than commercial solutions. Virtual consoles, secure remote access solutions, true multi-tasking, and the ability to use robust journaling file systems all come to mind. Despite these advanced features, I have also noticed some parallels between Linux and some earlier versions of Windows. Let's term these similarities as "growing pains."
I do feel that there are many cases today where Linux is an inadequate solution, specifically in the area where James Turner's complaint lies - in laptops(docking is my pet peeve) and multimedia. However, I believe James to be a high-needs user; it's my contention that much of the computing world comprises low-needs users. These terms should not reflect poorly on either group, but one group is definitely in the minority.
I think that Windows for example has made convenience an expectation of all users - but that comes with a price. Tight integration between office suites and the operating system have made viruses via Outlook a major productivity concern among MS Office users. Automated installation of software has made it so hard to remove some applications that there is a cottage industry dedicated to "cleaning up the OS." Particularly insidious applications like spyware are difficult to detect and often even more difficult to remove. Centralized configuration repositories like the registry are often so complex that it's a major chore to fix or change settings that rip(out) and reinstall seem to be the only options. However, despite these serious usability and security concerns, Windows is considered to be "ready for the deskop" and is the unarguable market leader.
I believe that, since we have come to expect these problems, we as users have become inured to these obvious flaws. I liken this situation to automobiles. As I was growing up my father owned a car repair shop and auto sales lot. In those days it was not uncommon for us to fix a car in the driveway. Most anything could be repaired with basic tools. He and I were once incredulous at the fact so many people choose to pay to have minor repairs done. Now it's almost impossible for the average person to repair modern cars because of the computers, sensors, and the complexity that includes features that my father probably would never have dreamed of when he bought his first car in the 1960s.
These features come with a price, as they have with my significant other's car, a sporty German model with a glowing blue dashboard and features of all varieties. She recently had an annoying problem with her emissions sensors. The local repair shop 'fixed' the problem and she brought the car home. Once again the problem resurfaced and persistent error messages caused her to return for repairs. After multiple visits the solution was simply to reinstall all the parts because they were too complex to troubleshoot the root of the problem. This disposable mentality disagrees with me. This is the problem I have with Windows: it's often too complex to fix the problem; the alternative is to try to rip out and replace. This method is often less than foolproof. With my Linux PC it's very seldom that I can't repair a problem and a re-install is often much less complicated than in the alternative "ready for the desktop" operating systems.
On my desktop I have installed many variations of Linux including Lycoris and Xandros. I have to say that after installing both of these distributions I had a much more pleasant experience than I ever did installing other OSes. Then again my concerns were very simple. I needed e-mail, Web browsing, office applications and instant messaging. One thing that I also liked was that I very seldom rebooted. In Windows, I felt like I rebooted constantly and memory usage for even the simpler apps could skyrocket right off the chart, grinding my PC to a halt.
As far as Linux on the desktop goes, I think the operating system is very good - it works well, despite some warts. And at the rate it's improving, those "warts" are disappearing quickly. The limiting factor as I see is "application availability." I think this is truly where James' frustration primarily lies, as does mine. Today the availability of well-developed applications as compared to other operating systems is much lower. However, I have a "Field of Dreams" mentality for the Linux desktop, I can hear the whisper through the cornfields saying, "if you build it they will come."
The key is to get application vendors, as the community has already done, to start to make software for Linux on par with their Windows offerings. I think there's a tremendous opportunity for commercial apps on Linux including legal DVD software, personal finance and sales contact managers such as ACT! and Goldmine. Not only do these applications need to address their intended purpose but they need to be easy to install. That end of the business is being addressed somewhat by Lindows with their Click-N-Run Warehouse, but there are not user oriented solutions such as Click-N-Run for Fedora, Mandrake, SuSE and others.
In summary, is Linux on the desktop today a universal solution that is appealing to all? No. Is Linux a solution that can address the needs of a large portion of desktop users? Absolutely. Will Linux on the desktop be the universally accepted solution of tomorrow? Maybe.

The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

"We recently stayed at Casita Reva to move my daughter into her dorm at Northwestern as a freshman. The location was perfect. We loved the quirky decor of the casita and all of our needs were met. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bed, comfortable, the cable TV boasts lots of channels and we were even able to do my daughter's first load of wash for her! We would definitely stay here again, several yummy restaurants were within easy walking distance as well as a bakery for breakfasts. Next time, I may make my daughter's favorite, spaghetti, in the fully stocked kitchen, for a home-cooked meal for my girl from Texas. The owners of the property live on site and were very helpful in supplying tools, bungee cords, etc., to help with our move into the dorm. We also enjoyed a glass of wine and getting to know them, our last evening in Evanston. I see no reason to stay anywhere else!"Guest: Lauri Z.

IAF chief: Israel will destroy Hezbollah bases in Lebanon, even ones in residential areas
IAF chief Amir Eshel 390.
(photo credit:IDF Spokeperson's Office)
Israel accused Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas on Wednesday of putting "thousands" of bases in residential buildings and said it would destroy these in a future conflict, even at the cost of civilian lives.The unusually explicit threat by air force chief Major-General Amir Eshel appeared to be part of an effort by Israeli officials to prepare world opinion for high civilian casualties in any new confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon.Israel says Iran and Syria have supplied improved missiles to Hezbollah, which fought the technologically superior Israeli military to a standstill in a 2006 war in Lebanon."We will have to deal aggressively with thousands of Hezbollah bases which threaten the State of Israel and mainly our interior," Eshel said in a speech, citing Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon among the locations of the bases.Other Israeli officials have alleged that Hezbollah uses Lebanese civilian homes as missile silos or gun nests. Eshel said the guerrillas sometimes had entire floors of residential buildings ready, under lock and key, to be used in combat."Above and below live civilians whom we have nothing against - a kind of human shield," he told the Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies, a think-tank near Tel Aviv."And that is where the war will be. That is where we will have to fight in order to stop it and win. Whoever stays in these bases will simply be hit and will risk their lives. And whoever goes out will live."Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said on Tuesday that Hezbollah now had around 100,000 missiles and rockets, or 30,000 more than figures given in official Israeli assessments in 2013.Last year, Ya'alon showed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon an Israeli map of alleged Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanese villages, apparently to demonstrate the risk of a high civilian death toll in any new war.Hezbollah does not comment on its military capabilities but says these have been honed and expanded since the 2006 fighting, in which 1,200 people in Lebanon and 160 Israelis were killed. It says it needs its arms to defend Lebanon from Israeli attack.Eshel said Israel's military was "dozens" of times more powerful than Hezbollah and had more capabilities than in 2006."Our ability today to attack targets on a large scale and with high precision is about 15 times greater than what we did in the (2006) war," he said, saying such intensity was required to keep the fighting short "because the more protracted the war, the more missiles we'll be hit with here".Much of Hezbollah's attention is now devoted to Syria, where its fighters have been helping President Bashar Assad battle an almost three-year-old insurgency.While content to watch Hezbollah and the Islamist-led Syrian rebels fight each other, Israel worries that its Lebanese foes will obtain more advanced weaponry from Assad's arsenal.On at least three occasions last year, Israeli forces allegedly bombed suspected Hezbollah-bound arms convoys in Syria.Asked whether Israel had done too little to intercept such transfers, Eshel said Israeli forces still had the upper hand."I don't think this is a failure," he said. "I think the State of Israel has extraordinary deterrence which should not be discredited - significant deterrence, bought in blood."

Editors note: Ellinwood historians Mary Jo Cunningham and Robert Yarmer provided information for this story.
Over Christmas, Kansas news sources reported on a near-tragedy south of here where a family was "recovering from a pre-Christmas brush with serious carbon monoxide poisoning," according to the Associated Press.
Relay for Life of Barton County organizers want folks to click their heels together three times and say "there's no place like hope, there's no place like hope."
CHEYENNE BOTTOMS - The annual National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count was held in December, and the results showed that the 95 species of birds were present at Cheyenne Bottoms this winter. The numbers were up.
The suspect in the Dec. 19 burglary of P&S Security, Richard Allen Etim, was arrested just after 3 p.m. Thursday, the Great Bend Police Department reported.
TOPEKA – Four area schools are among the 42 Kansas elementary, 12 middle/junior high schools and 20 high schools recently recognized as part of the fourth annual Governor's Achievement Awards, honoring top performing schools in the state.

Michael Schumacher: Neurologists warn F1 star unlikely to make a full recovery after skiing accident
Schumacher, 45, fell while skiing in France and hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet. Doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain but some were left because they were too deeply embedded.
Schumacher's condition stabilised after he was placed in the coma. Late last month, doctors began the process of withdrawing sedatives to try to wake him up.
His agent, Sabine Kehm, has confirmed that "Michael is still in the wake-up phase" and that "this phase can be long." Schumacher's family has released few details of his condition to protect his privacy.
"It does not bode well," said Dr. Tipu Aziz, professor of neurosurgery at Oxford University who is not connected to Schumacher's care. "The fact that he hasn't woken up implies that the injury has been extremely severe and that a full recovery is improbable."
Patients who have had major head injuries are sometimes put in a drug-induced coma to give the brain a chance to heal; a coma reduces the need for blood flow and may help the swelling go down.
Aziz said doctors typically try every few days to bring someone out of a coma.
"If you don't start getting any positive signs, that becomes very worrisome," he said, adding that Schumacher's doctors are probably doing regular brain scans to look for signs of activity - though such signs may be difficult to detect if he is still being sedated.
Other experts said it was premature to make an accurate prognosis.
"About 90 percent of the recovery is made within nine to 12 months, so this is still early days," said Dr. Anthony Strong, an emeritus chair in neurosurgery at King's College London. "The longer someone is in a coma, the worse their recovery tends to be."
Now that several weeks have passed since the accident, doctors may also have a better idea of how the rest of Schumacher's brain is doing.
"MRI scans can show any secondary deterioration in the brain structure," said Dr. Colin Shieff, a neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London and a trustee for Headway, a British brain injury charity.
He said other parts of Schumacher's brain that weren't directly affected by the accident might now be starting to show worrying signs that may not have been visible before.
Shieff said that if Schumacher does eventually come out of the coma, he probably would face significant disabilities because of the length of time he has already spent comatose.
While there have been rare instances of people emerging from comas months and years later with the ability to communicate, Shieff was doubtful that would be the case with Schumacher. He said the cases where comatose people made a surprising recovery had mostly suffered things like poisoning, strokes or failed resuscitation attempts.

Linux Wasn't Too Popular At GDC 2014
Published on 21 March 2014 08:45 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
29 Comments
While there were
several Linux gaming announcements this week
-- including
CRYENGINE on Linux
Unreal Engine 4 on Linux
-- Linux was rarely seen at GDC 2014 aside from Android gaming devices.
Crytek had just one Linux box at the show, which was running Ubuntu and showing the CRYENGINE running on Linux. As I wrote in the CRYENGINE article earlier, "Not many at GDC were excited about Linux support particularly. On the first day of the expo, only about six people had commented/recognized it was CRYENGINE on Linux."
At Intel's booth I found no Linux systems at all, but all of their demos seemed to be Windows-based.
At the AMD booth was one Linux box. The AMD Linux box was a slow A8 system showing that GPU PerfStudio can be run on Windows and connect to a Linux system for OpenGL debugging. GPU PerfStudio itself doesn't run on Linux for now but they were just showing that the AMD software can be used from a Windows system for debugging Linux OpenGL games/applications. Ubuntu was in use on the AMD A8 APU system.
LunarG happened to be at the Game Developer's Conference but their booth wasn't manned the entire time and featured just a laptop for showing off their work on OpenGL tracing/re-playing.
The most concentrated showing of non-Linux Android at GDC 2014 were the Steam Boxes running the Debian-based SteamOS.
At booths like Unity, Epic Games, Occulus, Qualcomm, and elsewhere, I didn't see any pure Linux (non-Android) works on display. Of course, I was there for just a day and a half, so I might have missed another one or two Linux systems, but Linux game support was far from being heavily advertised at GDC 2014 or a popular topic. When asking random game companies and other stakeholders about Linux, many of them responded they were mostly focused on Windows games at this time, the Linux gaming market is small, or that they simply didn't have anything to show off that couldn't be done better under Windows. Stay tuned though for some more exciting GDC Linux exclusives in the coming days, aside from the articles already posted today covering
Ubisoft on Linux
CRYENGINE Linux details
, etc.

High Highway Grass
Updated: 06/14/2011 - If it looks like the grass along some area highways is getting a little long, you're right. Due to budget cuts. MDOT is only able to cut the grass along our highways once a year, and some are arguing it's leaving a negative impact on tourists.

Headlines October 26, 2004 Full Show | First Story >
Bush To Request $70B More For Wars
The Washington Post is reporting the Bush administration intends to seek about $70 billion in emergency funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan early next year. This will push the total cost of the war and occupation of Iraq to nearly $225 billion. The Post reports the $70 billion request is considerably larger than what lawmakers anticipated earlier this year.
Pentagon Wants 20,000 More Troops in Iraq During Elections
Meanwhile USA Today is reporting the Pentagon wants to temporarily add 20,000 troops in Iraq ahead of January's scheduled elections. The addition would bring the total number of US troops to almost 160,000–the highest amount since May 1, 2003 when President Bush declared major combat operations to be over.
Bush Had Three Chances to Bomb Zarqawi
NBC News is reporting President Bush passed up three opportunities in 2002 to bomb a training camp run by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi because Bush feared it would undermine his administration's case for war against Saddam Hussein. At the time the Jordanian-born Zarqawi was operating in northern Iraq in an area not controlled by Saddam Hussein. Today the Bush administration claims Zarqawi is the most dangerous man in Iraq and has placed a $25 million reward on his head.
Protesters in Iraq Call for Hassan To Be Released
In Baghdad, hundreds of people demonstrated in the streets yesterday to call for the release of Margaret Hassan, the kidnapped head of Care International. The Irish-born Hassan has lived in Iraq for over 30 years and was a vocal critic of the U.S. sanctions and invasion. This marks the first time Iraqis have held a demonstration calling for the release of a hostage. Among the Iraqis taking part were 30 students from a school for deaf children. They asked for the release of "Mama Margaret". The main Iraqi resistance groups have condemned the kidnapping of Hassan and said they do not know her whereabouts. Meanwhile a seven-year-old Lebanese boy was kidnapped yesterday becoming the youngest person held hostage to date in Iraq. His father has reportedly received a ransom demand of $150,000.
13 Die In Iraq Bombings
In other Iraq news, a series of bombings killed at least 13 people yesterday including three Iraqis in a blast near the Australian embassy in Baghdad.
Clinton Joins Kerry On Campaign Trail
On the campaign trail, former President Bill Clinton joined John Kerry at a rally before 80,000 supporters in Philadelphia. The event–the largest so far of the Kerry campaign — marked one of Clinton's first public appearances since undergoing quadruple bypass surgery.
Kerry Accuses Bush of "Incredible Incompetence" On Iraq
Sen. John Kerry yesterday accused Bush of demonstrating "incredible incompetence" for failing to secure 380 tons of highly explosive materials from a military site in Iraq after the U.S. invasion. Kerry said, "Now we know that our country and our troops are less safe because the president has failed to do the basics. This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of the administration." Bush did not address the missing explosives yesterday but administration officials gave varying accounts of what happened. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan initially claimed that Bush had only learned about the missing explosives 10 days earlier. Later in the day, a chief Pentagon spokesperson claimed the Pentagon had known about the missing explosives for 18 months and that the explosives were already missing when the U.S. took control of the military base in April 2003. NBC News has confirmed the Pentagon's report but the Iraqi government has told the International Atomic Energy Agency that the explosives were taken after the U.S. invasion.
Chief Justice Rehnquist Hospitalized
The chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, William Rehnquist has been hospitalized and has undergone an emergency tracheotomy after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The 80-year-old Rehnquist has plans to return to the bench when the court reconvenes on Nov. 1–a day before the presidential election. The Financial Times reports that even if Rehnquist is not healthy enough to return to the bench immediately he could still take part in decisions by listening to tapes of the sessions. Four years ago Rehnquist cast a crucial vote that delivered the election to President Bush. Rehnquist's illness also raises speculation the winner of next week's election might have a Supreme Court vacancy to fill soon after taking office.
Questions Raised Over Bush Work at Project PULL In 1973
The Knight Ridder news agency is reporting that President Bush may have lied about why he started working at an inner city poverty program called PROJECT PULL in Houston in 1973. Bush has publicly said he was asked by Project PULL's director John White to help run the program. But now former associates of White, who died in 1988, have gone on record for the first time saying White agreed to take Bush only as a favor to his father because George W. had gotten into some kind of trouble. Bush's tenure at P.U.L.L. has been the subject of speculation for years. In 2000, author J.H. Hatfield reported in his controversial book Fortunate Son that Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and had his record expunged in exchange for community service.
Gaza Death Toll in New Raid Increases to 17
In Gaza, Israeli forces have ended a 30-hour attack on the Khan Younis refugee camp that left as many as 17 Palestinians dead and more than 90 injured. An estimated 30 houses were demolished leaving 200 families homeless.
UN: 22% Of Palestinian Children Malnourished
A new report by the United Nations has found that 22 percent of Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza are malnourished. The report was written by a Swiss sociologist named Jean Ziegler who works for the UN as an expert on starvation. Israel responded to the new report by calling on the UN to fire Ziegler. Israel's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told journalists yesterday that Ziegler "attacks Israel on every occasion... We have asked the Commission on Human Rights to consider the possibility of ending his mandate."
U.S. Now Arrests Marijuana Smoker Every 42 Seconds
And new FBI statistics show that police arrested a record-high 755,000 people for marijuana violations last year. The pro-legalization group NORML reports a marijuana smoker is now arrested every 42 seconds in this country at a cost of approximately $7.6 billion annually. The number of marijuana arrests have nearly doubled since 1993 and now exceed the total number of arrests for all violent crimes combined, including murder, manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
