A Syrian tragedy turning into a European tragedy
Gëzim Krasniqi, Fellow at UCL's School of Slavonic and East European Studies, traces the shifting routes chosen by refugees from Syria—and how the EU's lack of a coordinated policy has been turning the Syrian tragedy into a European one. It has left the Balkan states with a refugee crisis impossible to master.

Fathers, Sons, and Grandfathers: Migration Across Generations
Through the stories of three generations in thirty families, Julia Brannen explores men's lives, migration, employment, fatherhood, father-son relationships and intergenerational transmission over the life course. As the worst refugee crisis since the Second World War unfolds across continents, she traces the stories of migrant generations that have gone before, of Irish grandfathers who left Ireland in the mid-20th century and Polish fathers who came to Britain in the 21st century, together with a group of white British

eMigrating Landscapes 1: Exhausted Geographies
Irit Rogoff: A lecture on borders and freedom as seen in contemporary art Commentary and discussion with Polish artist Joanna Rajkowska
Since the post-communist transformations of the late 1980s and the 1990s in Eastern and Central Europe and the ensuing EU enlargement of 2004, migration has become a significant trait within contemporary Europe and an increasingly important factor in social conflict affecting various parts of the continent. Contemporary migration and/or emigration has brought a new political rhetoric, resulting in social turmoil as well as new cultural, literary and artistic production. In our seminar series in 2013, these problems will be scrutinized based on the discussion on particular literary and cultural events within Polish culture.

Harvick-Logano. It's kind of got the same ring as Hatfield-McCoy, Montague- Capulet, or more fitting- Earnhardt-Waltrip. Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano have dogging each other all year, and now, guess what? No matter whether you go by the Chase format, or even look at who is best by the "classic" points system (source: jayski.com) Logano and Harvick are 1-2. Let's take a quick trip down Memory Lane shall we? It all started when Joey Logano was a frustrated young driver seemingly on the fas ...//more

NASCAR Conspiracies: No Season Is Complete Without One
|Like ALT
NASCAR fans love a conspiracy. Regardless of who the driver is, if he or she dominates, it can't be because they are good; they're good because they cheated. Granted, it isn't without good reason that fans would raise their eyebrows. NASCAR's first Strictly Stock winner- Glenn Dunaway- had his victory taken away because of an illegal, unapproved spring. Legendary mechanic and car owner Smoke Yunick was the original "Slick Willie," finding every loophole in the rule book to gain an edge. C ...//more

Do you know what went unnoticed at the AAA 400 Sunday? Let ask it another way: what do Aric Almirola, Kasey Kahne, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Kyle Larson have in common? ALL four scored top tens in Sunday's race. Heck- Almirola scored his second top five in four races, and his third top ten in four races! If you noticed that, congratulations, you are one alert fan. If you don't, no worries- NBC Sports didn't notice either. THIS is what this fan hates about the Chase. The problem with a "playoff ...//more

Metaphors & Similes
A metaphor is "something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else". and a simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind,.. so, pick a word and set your clock for 5 minutes [it might not take that long] and try to use the 5 senses, for example a license plate tastes like a prison workshop [Simile] or a dentist drill is a missile that explodes in your mouth [Metaphor]! See where it goes. Stuck for a word? Try the Random Word Generator

The Ningbo Lishe International Airport is the main airport for people living in and around Ningbo. The airport is conveniently located less than seven miles from downtown, entailing a commute of 20 minutes or less. Using Orbitz.com, you can book flights from Ningbo with airlines like Shandong, Uni Air, Air China, and many others at low fares.
The underground parking garage at the Ningbo Lishe International Airport offers ample parking spaces for drivers. The garage covers more than 15,000 square yards and has space for more than 300 cars. The garage charges a rate based on how long your vehicle stays parked there.
Taking the bus is an easy way to get to the airport without driving. The cost of riding the bus to the airport ranges from 12 to 69 Yuan depending on where you start your journey. You can get on a bus headed to the airport from various locations downtown where there are numerous bus stops. There is also a specialized Ningo Airport shuttle bus operated by Lishe Airport. This bus picks travelers up at designated areas and transports them to the airport for a fee.
If you would like to eat at the airport, the Waiting, Arrival, and Departure Halls all offer different dining options for travelers. The Waiting Hall boasts more than 1,700 square yards of restaurants and cafes plus several bars. By booking your flights from Ningbo through Orbitz.com, you can finalize all your travel details beforehand, leaving plenty of time to splurge on a sumptuous meal before your flight.
Singapore features delicious local cuisine with business amenities and entertainment options to fit all tastes. Orbitz.com can help find cheap flights to Singapore. Flights into the city arrive at the Changi Airport, which is approximately 10 miles from the city-state's main trading center. The airport provides air travel to major locations in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Major available include Singapore Airlines, Air Canada and Air France.

Singapore enjoys a tropical climate. The temperatures rarely fall below 76 degrees Fahrenheit or rise above 81 degrees at any time of the year. Rain and thunderstorms are common at any time, and forest fires from nearby refuges and wild areas can cause dense haze intermittently. Visitors should dress for warm weather and bring rain gear such as galoshes or umbrellas.
Singapore boasts a rich cultural history stretching back tens of thousands of years. Ancient artifacts and colonial buildings are visible at the Bras Basha area on the Singapore River, and traditional foods mixed with influences found all over Asia are available at stands and restaurants dotting the district. The Bukit Timah Natural Reserve offers visitors access to more plant species available in the entirety of North America.

This second story in a series of action-packed adventures finds our web-slinging friend battling a batch of Super-Villains created to destroy SPIDER-MAN. Not only does Peter Parker have to survive the onslaught of The Sandman, Shocker and the unstoppable Rhino, he can't seem to find a date for the fall formal! When Spidey finally comes face to face with the villain responsible for the mayhem, he makes him an offer he doesn't think our hero can afford to refuse. Will SPIDER-MAN do the right thing?
Three more episodes of the Spectacular Spider-Man animated TV series arrive on Volume 2, which pits the wall crawler against a trio of classic foes from his comic book origins. Episodes 4 through 6, which are featured on the disc, continue the show's main storyline, with teenaged Peter Parker battling a host of supervillains created by Osborne Industries to fuel the evil plans of The Big Man. In "Market Forces," it's the Shocker--a hybrid of the original Marvel character and the Enforcer known as Montana--who wants to put an end to Spidey's hero career, while the Sandman and Rhino are featured in "Competition" and "The Invisible Hand," respectively. The Big Man himself also makes an appearance in the latter, though it's not who the Spider-Man faithful have come to associate with that name. Regardless, the action is plentiful, the characters largely faithful to their histories (the tweaks made by the series are harmless), and the scripts engaging and similar in tone to the classic Stan Lee/Steve Ditko adventures. One wishes more episodes could be included on each disc, as well as a few extras beyond the previews for other Marvel-related (and otherwise) animated series. --Paul Gaita

Recent Prior Lake reviews
"Just got home from our stay at this beautiful lakefront vacation home and I'm a little hesitant to tell everyone how great it is because it will decrease my chances of reserving it again. But here it is: I have never stayed in such a wonderful place, on the lake, with views for miles and relaxation at every turn. We celebrated my parents' 60 wedding anniversary here with my siblings coming in from all over the U.S. We had more than enough room to celebrate and the perfect amount of space to find some time away. Beautifully decorated, maintained and 100% enjoyed by me and my family. Thanks!"Guest: Eva C. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 21, 2015View listing
"Came up to spend quality time with my kids and this place didn't disappoint! House is beautifully maintained and the two decks provided constant scenery as we went about our day. Owner provided all of the essentials and we ended up spending most of our time out on the lake, or sitting on the deck relaxing and playing cards watching the sun set. Great stay!"Guest: Lynda F. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 23, 2015View listing
"This home turned into the perfect home away from home for our large family in town for our daughter's wedding at the BayView Event Center. We were able accommodate a large combined family bridal shower as well as the beginning of the bachelorette party with painting/wine on the patio. We also had the rehearsal dinner (cookout) at the house as well. The spacious master bath turned into the bridal party's hair, make up and getting dressed area on wedding day. We enjoyed the view, spaciousness of the home, pontoon boat, kayaks, fishing, foosball and ping pong tables, tantam bike, games outside and inside, hammock, fire pit, and wonderful screened room. The home's location was convenient to local shopping (Walmart, Sam's Club) and lots of places to eat out even though having a fully stocked kitchen made cooking/eating in much more convenient/economical. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family plus if we all decide to come to visit the newlyweds at the same time, we know where to stay! {Recommend owners check slow oven heating and add a few more kitchen towels.} Loved having the washer/dryer and thanks for new oven light bulb!"Guest: Volly Group Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 17, 2015View listing
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house. The online pictures don't do it justice! All new appliances, very clean rooms with comfy beds, finished basement, and a walk out patio with plenty of deck space to grill out and eat dinner outside. This looks out over the back yard with a large hot tub, a cozy fire pit by the lake, and a small dock with kayaks, paddle boats, and a beautiful view. I would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxing vacation!"Guest: Glenn Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 25, 2015View listing

2-Dvd Special Edition. Miracles Happen In Unexpected Places, Even On Death Row At Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There, John Coffey, A Prisoner With Supernatural Powers, Brings A Sense Of Spirit And Humanity To His Guards And Fellow Inmates. Tom Hanks Leads A Stellar Cast In This Emotional, Uplifting Story Of Guards And Captives; Husbands And Wives; Prisoners And A Remarkable Mouse Named Mr. Jingles; And, On Another Level, Of A Moviemaker And His Source. Frank Darabont Returns After His 1994 Directorial Debut The Shawshank Redemption To Adapt Another Stephen King Tale Into A Crowd-Pleasing Entertainment Nominated For Four Academy Awards, Including Best Picture.
"The book was better" has been the complaint of many a reader since the invention of movies. Frank Darabont's second adaptation of a Stephen King prison drama (The Shawshank Redemption was the first) is a very faithful adaptation of King's serial novel. In the middle of the Depression, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) runs death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. Into this dreary world walks a mammoth prisoner, John Coffey (Michael Duncan) who, very slowly, reveals a special gift that will change the men working and dying (in the electric chair, masterfully and grippingly staged) on the mile . As with King's book, Darabont takes plenty of time to show us Edgecomb's world before delving into John Coffey's mystery. With Darabont's superior storytelling abilities, his touch for perfect casting, and a leisurely 188-minute running time, his movie brings to life nearly every character and scene from the novel. Darabont even improves the novel's two endings, creating a more emotionally satisfying experience. The running time may try patience, but those who want a story, as opposed to quick-fix entertainment, will be rewarded by this finely tailored tale. --Doug Thomas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Product Description

If I implement a class in ruby and compile it with jrubyc than it is not possible to call it from a java class directly if I start it with java. If I see this right I have to use
org.jruby.embed... to implement a wrapper wich takes a class name and a metod to call my ruby class.
Do I have to do this also if I start the application with jruby? In my current project I start java workflow engine completely with jruby. The workflow has to call a method in a ruby class which he cant find.
Maybe easier to understand:

'DRM is dead, but watermarks rise from the ashes'
With DRM on the way out for music, watermarking could be The Next Big Thing for content providers. Check out the Wired story, and share your own thoughts on the pros and cons. Is there any way at all that this could work for e-books as an alternative to DRM—flawed, but better than the present mess? Right now the big four recording labels are not watermarking at the individual level. But some Internet advocates fear that watermarking could provide ammo to use against Net companies to require massive screening for copyrighted material.

Woodpeckers 12inch Woodworking Rule
Ok, we all know that Woodpeckers have become the definitive high quality tool makers in the US for woodworkers, but I thought I'd jot down that this length of ruler along with the stop has a solid feel and is just great to use in the shop.
I also use this for alignment of faces or parts since it's so solid.
I have a Paolini Pocket rule, but this feels better to handle and maneuver due to its larger size. Hope this helps.

- 2 dried mild New Mexican chiles, stemmed and seeded (see Note)
- 3 1/2-inch-thick slices baguette
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 3 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, halved crosswise and seeded
- 1 small red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 tablespoons slivered blanched almonds, toasted (see Tip)
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see Tip)
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Try this recipe with:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange chiles, baguette slices, garlic cloves, tomatoes and bell pepper halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and set in the oven. Toast the chiles until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Toast the baguettes slices until light golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Roast the garlic until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Roast the tomatoes and bell pepper until skins blister, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Place the toasted chiles in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Roughly chop the chiles and set aside.
- Meanwhile, squeeze flesh from the cooled garlic into a small bowl. Slip skins off the tomatoes and bell pepper.
- Combine baguette, roasted garlic, almonds and hazelnuts in a food processor or blender; process until ground. Add the tomatoes, bell pepper, chiles and vinegar; process until smooth. With the motor running, gradually add oil. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and stir in parsley.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Note: The New Mexican chile is a long green variety that turns red in the fall. It used to be known as the Anaheim, but it has been renamed because few chiles are grown near the city of Anaheim these days. Dried New Mexico chiles are sweet with a hint of spiciness. They can be found in the specialty-produce section of the supermarket, in gourmet-food markets or online at melissas.com.
- Tip: To toast chopped nuts: Place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes

Iran's nuclear ambitions and Europe's economic turmoil could place the world's energy market in a state of chaos.
July 17, 2012 11:30 by kippreport
"If Iran does scale back its own production from its typical 2.2 billion barrels per day, other major oil-producing countries may need time to fill the gap by increasing their own production," stated the Moody's report. "Iran could itself pressurize the U.S. and E.U. by trying to raise the world's oil prices as well. An Iranian move to seal the Strait of Hormuz would choke the key export points for a number of regional oil producers, including Saudi, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. These countries cannot easily increase their own exports through other means."
The International Monetary Fund has stated that these sanctions, if completely adhered to, might cause crude oil prices to rise by as much as 30 percent. Tensions in other countries, like nearby Syria and Russia, both friends of Iran, could cause even more instability in the energy markets.
But with any chaotic situation, it's not just the sudden price hikes that muster attention by the world's markets. It's those unnerving, precipitous drops as well. According to a study by Emirates NBD, certain equity markets have not been helped by recent growth numbers and decisions in taken in political circles. For instance, Russia's imposition of higher taxation on gas companies has hurt the hydrocarbon sector and the drop in Brent crude to $110 from $125 per barrel has also had an impact, says Emirates NBD.
The only nation in the Middle East that turns out more oil than Iran is Saudi Arabia, According to a Merrill Lynch study, since the start of May, prices of Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude are down 5.7 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively. "Partly to blame for the retreat in crude oil prices is an improvement in supply," says Merrill Lynch. "Saudi Arabia keeps churning out crude oil at decade highs of approximately 10 million barrels a day, while Libyan production is improving and outages in non-OPEC elsewhere are easing. Iranian oil, while reduced, is still finding some outlets around the world."
But don't count on reduced prices indefinitely, especially with the prospects of Iranian meddling with the Strait of Hormuz. GCC countries, as well as the majority of the Middle East and North Africa, are inexorably linked to the economies of Western Europe and North America. Given that the West continues to suffer from a lasting recession and delayed economic recovery, the oil-producing nations and the companies that are derived from them are facing an uncertain future.

Opinion: "Sanitation, Water & Hygiene For All" Cannot Wait for 2030
The new Sustainable Development Goals, agreed upon recently by the member states of the United Nations, are all interconnected, as has been reiterated time and again. However, it is in the new Goal 6 – "Ensure access to water and sanitation for all"—for which this interconnectedness is most apparent.
U.N. Upholds Human Rights, World Bank Dismisses Them
The United Nations has always remained one of the most vociferous and passionate advocates of human rights – exemplified in the creation in 2006 of a 47-member Human Rights Council in Geneva to uphold its mandate.
Analysis: India's Challenge on the SDGs
India's stance on sustainable development goals is evolving as there are differing voices on what should be done. Over the next 15 years, the global development agenda will be preoccupied with the ambitious challenge of achieving 17 SDGs and 169 targets. The SDGs follow the Millennium Development Goals which were conceptualized as a set of eight goals on diverse development dimensions including poverty alleviation, gender equality, health and environmental sustainability. The buzz in the development community is that as the relative success of MDGs is a result of China's super-rapid growth, the relative success of the SDGs will be because of India.

On the main plaza in front of the main church
We have eaten here several times over the years and it is a good place to eat mexican food. Our favorite was the curry chicken.
The view was great but the food was the worst that I had in Mexico. The tampiquena tasted and looked that reheated food. The fideo soup was sour, rice and chicken had no flavor at all.
I would not recommend this place all. It was a total disappointment especially for the prices we paid
We had dinner at La Flor de la vida April 5, 2014. It was our first trip to Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico. Being that my husband and I are Vegan, the kitchen made special arrangements to making our dinner 100% to our liking. We ordered the Molcajete made up of completely Vegetables. They brought back a MASTERPIECE! They put Grilled Broccoli,...
We were there for lunch on a beautiful (there is no other kind in this part of Mexico) day in February and we were the only diners on the rooftop. It IS a hike up the stairs but truly worth it! The wine was excellent (unusual for Mexico) and the food was too. We had an Italian dish and a...
We recently had dinner here during a visit in Taxco one evening. This restaurant had great potential due to its excellent location in the zocalo and views of the church, however the service for us was lacking. We had a great location outside at the very top, but the power went out for about 5 minutes. This wasn't a huge...
We ate at Flor de la Vida on our last night in Taxco. We weren't expecting much, as it looks like a big tourist restaurant right on the zocalo and this is usually not a good sign. Boy, were we surprised!
The restaurant was very crowded on a Saturday night so they led us to the top floor and out...
Great views and good food. Fresh squeezed OJ and a giant fruit plate with yogurt and ganola. Only thing missing Cafe de Olla!!
Both pollo asado and carbonara didn't taste good at all. The food on other guests plates looked like it's a snack bar but not the restaurant with prices above average. The staff is quite attentive though it doesn't make the food any better.
The servings were small. We were served toasted bread from the store, not the readily available breads from the bakeries.
Excellent views of the plaza and friendly, efficient service. Continental cuisine offers typical American style dinners, some take Mexican style food and very good salads.

Recently, we got a question about one of our crochet patterns that begins in the round with a sliding loop. I crocheted a lot for a previous job, but I had never heard of a sliding loop for crochet. After a quick Google search, I realized this technique is also known as a magic ring or a disappearing ring. It's a great skill to have because it helps you start crocheting in the round without getting that pesky hole in the top center of your piece.

Clyburn Addresses 9-1-1 Comes to Washington Conference
Download OptionsReleased: March 29, 2011
Prepared Welcoming Remarks of FCC Commissioner
Mignon L. Clyburn
NENA's "9-1-1 Comes to Washington Conference"
Washington, DC
March 29, 2011
IntroductionThank you, Brian, for that kind introduction. I am very pleased to be here this morning.
One of the top priorities for any government -- federal, State, or local -- should be to
ensure the safety of our citizens. To me, this is more than just a slogan to be uttered at a public
safety conference for I come from a state situated right in the middle of Hurricane Alley. We
think about the possibility of facing major disasters between June and November of every year.
I'm sure there are some here who know what I mean. In fact, I understand that Renee
Hardwick, Tommy Sullivan, and Kirk Stropes, from the South Carolina NENA Chapter may be
here this morning. South Carolina supports this event every year and I am proud of that.
I am also certain that there are others here who share those concerns. The fact that you
have expended considerable resources to participate in this conference demonstrates how
important public safety is to you and your state or local government.
Now I'm not a gambler, but I'd be willing to bet that if we conducted a survey, the vast
majority of Americans would say that public safety should be a top priority. I would also bet
most would say that a sound communications infrastructure is vital for every government to
ensure public safety. From the citizen who uses her mobile phone to reach a 9-1-1 operator in an
emergency, to the rescue squads who rely upon internal communications to reaching her and
providing her help. I believe most Americans would say all relevant stakeholders must work
together and do all they can to provide citizens with more ways to communicate when they are in
NENA's Proud HistoryNENA understands the importance of collaboration in improving emergency
communications. Your membership is comprised of service providers, emergency equipment
vendors, as well as officials from Public Safety Answering Points, or PSAPs. Collaboration is
not just a part of NENA's policy strategy. Collaboration is part of your organizational DNA.
For nearly thirty years, NENA has been a vital part of 9-1-1 services. There have been
numerous occasions in which you have shown tremendous leadership in helping the FCC
effectively and efficiently improve emergency communications. One example was the
proceeding last year, which resulted in the Commission adopting E-9-1-1 location accuracy
standards. NENA's collaboration with APCO, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless,
made it possible for the Commission to avert a lengthy fight at the Court of Appeals, and reach a
compromise on standards that would improve emergency communications. That Order sent an
important message, about the direction our communications industry should take, with regard to
improving E-9-1-1 services. It confirmed that collaboration among all stakeholders is a more
effective path than litigation.
The NG9-1-1 ChallengeNENA's leadership will be vital in the implementation of the New and Emerging
Technologies 9-1-1 Improvement Act of 2008. The goal of this federal statute is straightforward.
We should migrate our current 9-1-1 networks to a national IP-enabled emergency network that
can receive and respond to all citizen-activated emergency communications. This is a goal I
wholeheartedly support.
Over the past decade or so, we have seen a dramatic increase in the numbers of
Americans, relying on their cell phones for their primary communications needs. In fact, it is
estimated that 70 percent of the 9-1-1 calls made last year, were from cell phones. Due to
innovations in broadband IP-based communications technologies, Americans expect to be able to
send texts, photos, and videos to their family and friends over those mobile phones and other
portable devices, and currently, many Americans believe that your networks can handle that type
of traffic today.
In some emergency situations -- especially in circumstances where a call could further
jeopardize someone's life and safety -- texting may be the only way to reach out for help. Certain
well publicized national and international tragedies have confirmed that. During the Virginia
Tech campus tragedy in 2007, students turned to text messages to spread news of the initial
attack. They continued to update each other via text messaging as the horrifying attacks
continued throughout the day.
The earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010, led to the development of a real
world test bed for several new applications, such as interactive maps and texting platforms. In the
aftermath of the quake, these tools were used on a large scale to promote a dialogue between
citizens and relief workers. These applications were vital to urgent tasks, such as guiding search-
and-rescue teams, locating missing persons, and delivering food and water to the populations that
needed them the most.
During the more recent tragedy in Japan, several mobile wireless operators realized that
so many of their country's citizens would be using text messages to communicate, that they set up
disaster bulletin boards, to post text messages for others to read on the Web.
And last year, I had the opportunity to visit three West African nations for the first time.
I had always heard how a visit to Mother Africa can have a profound impact on a person, and
based on my experience, I would say that is an understatement. My visit with a Women's Oyster
Harvesting Association, in The Gambia, left an impression that is particularly relevant here. The
ladies told me a story of how one member drowned because she couldn't afford a cell phone and
was unable to call out for help when the tide was high. Out of the 100 plus women in that room,
that afternoon, only four had access to a mobile phone. This meeting was a powerful lesson to
me, that mobile devices are not just luxuries, or status symbols, they are necessities for welfare
and safety.
These national and international events and encounters, remind me that our emergency
communications policies must adapt to the growing dependence of Americans on the advanced
services that mobile networks offer. But if we want to migrate our 9-1-1 networks to a national
IP-enabled emergency network, as many in this room know, we face a number of challenges. As
an initial matter, the current 9-1-1 system was never designed to receive calls and data from these
new and emerging technologies. Very few 9-1-1 call centers have the technical capability to
receive texts, photos, videos, and other data. Many 9-1-1 call centers do not even have access to
broadband, which makes it difficult to receive large volumes of data.
Also, since Congress wants this to be a national network, we need NG9-1-1 rolled out in
a uniform, systematic way. We cannot leave any communities behind. We cannot allow a digital
divide to develop in emergency communications services. But we also have to be realistic, that
not all communities have the same resources. Some will be able to migrate to NG9-1-1 sooner
than others.
What we need in order to meet both of these challenges, is money. Absent appropriate
action by, and funding for, States, Tribes, and local jurisdictions, there can be no effective 9-1-1
service. Both the National Broadband Plan, and the Commission's December 2010 Notice of
Inquiry on the Framework for NG9-1-1 Deployment, admit that the transition to NG9-1-1, will be
an evolutionary process, involving technical, economic, and institutional challenges.
But I am confident, that our Nation can rise to meet those challenges, and implement an
effective national NG9-1-1 network. One of the reasons I am confident we can do this, is because
NENA has shown great leadership in planning for this transition. In 2000, NENA explained that
current 9-1-1 networks were, then, already being pushed to their technical limits. In 2001, NENA
published the Future Path Plan. And in 2003, NENA began development activities, towards
migrating 9-1-1 networks, to implement advanced communications. In fact, NENA's advocacy
was largely responsible for the broad vision of the Notice of Inquiry that the Commission adopted
last year.
Another reason I am confident of our successful transition to NG9-1-1, is that this
Commission, under Chairman Genachowski's leadership, understands the importance of
emergency communications, and the urgency of having all stakeholders work collaboratively to
serve the public interest.
Earlier this month, the Commission released a Public Notice that instructs CSRIC the
advisory committee that assists the Commission with ensuring the security, reliability, and
interoperability of communications networks on its mission. At the top of the list, is the
directive that CSRIC recommend best practices and actions the FCC can take that promote
reliable E9-1-1, and Next Generation 9-1-1 service.
Brian Fontes, who Co-Chairs the CSRIC Working Group 4a has been doing as terrific a
job in that role as he has as CEO of NENA. I am sure Brian will not hesitate to let us know,
what other advice he has, so that we can efficiently promote the development of NG9-1-1
ConclusionI would not feel right in saying farewell to you, if I did not commend all of those
employees who work at PSAPs. You may not ride around in cars with flashing lights, and
physically arrive at emergency scenes, but you are often the very first voice someone hears at a
moment of extreme need, and you are vitally important in the quest to save lives. But for you, we
would be unable to locate those in need, and get the proper help to them. Those who are rescued,
those whose calls you take, may not be in the state of mind to even realize how critical a role you
play in saving their lives and property. But for all of those people, too traumatized to say thank
you, I say thank you. You are heroes, and we are all grateful.
I hope you enjoy your visit to DC and have a great conference!

Reflecting on his professional career, he said, "I can honestly say I've loved playing for every team and I feel immensely proud to have achieved what I have at each club". In an emotional retirement announcement, he went on to say, "It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce my retirement from rugby, after 17 years of playing the game I love, my mind is willing, my body, after two operations in the summer, unfortunately isn't. Rugby has been unbelievable to me over my career and I've enjoyed some incredible highs and always tried to play, train, talk and live it with a smile on my face.
Andy Goode has just announced his retirement after a plague of injuries has prevented him from continuing his professional rugby career.
Goode, who played for Wasps Rugby Football Club, ends his career with London Irish, having played seventeen tests for the England national team. It was announced in February that Goode would join London Irish at the end of the season on a one year contract, but sadly his spell at the club will end much sooner than expected, commenting, "they have a fantastic Training facility at Hazelwood and I wish them every success in the future under their new coaches and leadership".
In a statement made by Goode, he said, "I'm really disappointed I can't continue my career at London Irish and I've really enjoyed my short period with them". The news comes as Goode struggled to recover from persistent injuries, which he sought surgery to correct in the summer, but sadly full recovery was not made. At 35 Goode leaves a great mark on English rugby. Aside from being a professional rugby player, Andy Goode is available for public appearances, and brand opportunities through the London based MN2S, a celebrity talent booking agency.
The first of a veritable plethora of accomplishments is the impressive feat of being the second highest scorer in rugby Premiership history. Goode's seventeen year career first began with Leicester Tigers, where he made a major contribution to four successive Premiership titles and two European Cup triumphs, amassing 199 appearances between 1998 and 2008.
Goode won seventeen caps with the England national team, making his debut in 2005 in the Six Nations, where he scored against Italy. The former England no.10 appeared again in the 2009 Six Nations, scoring the opening try and sixteen points overall.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, after announcing his retirement, Goode reflected on his career, saying, "To represent England seventeen times is such an honour and something I'll look back on with pride,' said Goode. Winning the Premiership five times, the Heineken Cup twice and the Anglo Welsh Cup, were more than I could ever have wished for".
As well as being a great rugby professional, Andy Goode is also a dedicated and established celebrity speaker, available for booking at corporate entertainment events or as a guest after dinner speaker. If you are interested in booking Andy, please contact one of MN2S's experienced talent agents.

"Researchers have known for a while that alcohol consumption can interfere with our limited-capacity powers of concentration," said Sayette. "But this "double-whammy,"(i.e., more zoneouts that take longer to recognize) may explain why alcohol often disrupts efforts to exercise self-controla process requiring the ability to become aware of one's current state in order to regulate it."
These findings have potentially important implications for understanding the disruptive effects of alcohol. For example, the observation that alcohol increases mind-wandering suggests another reason why alcohol makes driving dangerousdrunk drivers may lose track of what they are doing.
Moreover, the finding that alcohol reduces meta-consciousness may explain why people drive when they are drunkby reducing their ability to assess their current state, intoxicated people may fail to realize how intoxicated they are and thus inadequately appraise the danger of driving.

In what equated to being a shorter development cycle than normal and with only two release candidates under its belt, ALSA 1.0.16 final has been released. ALSA 1.0.16-rc1 was released just two weeks ago followed by ALSA 1.0.16-rc2 last week and now this week is the final build. Since this last RC build has been a few minor changes to the CMI8788 Oxygen driver, just under a changes to HDA Codec (mostly adding in new product support), and miscellaneous changes to the other audio drivers. The change-log is available (along with download links) from the ALSA Project Wiki. Hopefully in the ALSA 1.0.17 release we'll find Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi support.
LM_Sensors 3.0.1 has been released this week as a minor update against LM_Sensors 3.0.0, which was released this past November. The main change coming with LM_Sensors 3.0.1 is that libsensors no longer depends libsysfs, which according to the LM_Sensors team has greatly sped up the library initialization time. New ASICs detected in this release include the SMSC SCH5514D-NS, Fintek F71858DG, Fintek F81216D, and Intel 82801AA (ICH). The complete list of changes for LM_Sensors 3.0.1 is available from the SVN viewer while download links and other information can be found on the project homepage.
One week after the first ALSA 1.0.16 RC, the second release candidate for v1.0.16 of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is now available. ALSA 1.0.16-rc2 has a few sound core fixes, a dozen changes to the C-Media CMI8788 Oxygen driver, quite a few HDA codec changes, and various work on alsa-lib and alsa-python. The changes between -rc1 and -rc2 are available from the ALSA Project Wiki.
It was just last month that Dell announced it would ship Ubuntu 7.10 on their Linux-loaded notebooks and laptops, and in addition they would be shipping LinDVD to provide legal DVD playback support. The newest announcement coming out of Dell now is that they will be shipping Ubuntu on a Dell XPS notebook and that they have extended their "Dellbuntu" models to Spain. This newest Ubuntu-loaded notebook is the XPS M1330, which is much beefier than the Inspiron 6400 notebook currently deployed with Gutsy Gibbon. The XPS M1330 has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 13.3" WXGA display, 1GB to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, up to a 320GB SATA hard drive or 64GB solid state disk, and an option of Intel GMA X3100 graphics or having a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 128MB graphics processor. This new Ubuntu 7.10 notebook is already available in Europe and will begin shipping in the United States next week. The announcement came from the Direct2Dell blog.
In the first development release for the new year and the ALSA 1.0.16 branch, version 1.0.16-rc1 of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) is now available. This is the first new ALSA release in over three months, but it arrives with a lengthy change-log for this Linux kernel sound component. Among the many changes that had interested us with ALSA 1.0.16-rc1 were build fixes for the Linux 2.6.24 kernel, two dozen changes to the ALSA core, the rewritten C-Media CMI8788 Oxygen driver, emu10k1 clean-up, and just under 80 changes to the HDA Codec (and more changes to the HDA drivers). Of course, there are also many changes to other ALSA drivers, ALSA library, and other sound components.
DeviceVM and ASUS are today announcing that they have expanded their selection of motherboards that ship with SplashTop (a.k.a. "Express Gate") technology. We've been enthralled by SplashTop, an embedded instant-on Linux desktop environment, since we had first looked at this technology on the ASUS P5E3 Deluxe motherboard. DeviceVM's SplashTop is so interesting that it had even earned the title of being one of the greatest Linux innovations of 2007.
Yesterday afternoon on the Direct2Dell blog it was announced that Dell is now shipping Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" on their pre-installed notebook/desktop Linux systems. Ubuntu 7.10 is available on the "Dellbuntu" notebooks and desktops today, while parts of Europe will see Gutsy Gibbon on the Inspiron 530 later this week. In addition, these Dell Ubuntu PCs have gained DVD playback support out of the box through the use of LinDVD (along with all of the other features found in Ubuntu 7.10).
Dave Jones of Red Hat has pushed out an update to the x86info utility, which for the uninformed is used for identifying various bits of information on x86 processors. This new release, x86info v1.21, contains support for updated CPUs, various clean-ups, and support for new operating systems. The added OS support is for FreeBSD and Solaris/OpenSolaris. An AMD engineer has also spent some time improving the AMD CPU functionality in this open-source CPU utility. There is also added identification support for new Intel Core 2 and Xeon processors. The last x86info release (v1.20) was over a year ago, but Dave Jones hopes to provide more timely releases. The new x86info release can be downloaded from its project web-page.
LM_Sensors, the package used to facilitate hardware monitoring within Linux for a variety of different ASICs, has finally reached version 3.0. LM_Sensors 3.0.0 represents the next-generation, chip-independent hardware monitoring tools package. We shared a number of details when previously reporting on LM_Sensors 3.0, but some of the important changes include LM_Sensors turning to a user-space-only package with no more kernel modules and the i2c software has been moved to i2c-tools. The libsensors package has been completely rewritten, and at version 4.0.0 it has a brand new API. More information is available in the LM_Sensors mailing list announcement.
Dell started off shipping Ubuntu on their notebooks and desktops earlier this year (Dell Loves Ubuntu, It's Official) and now they have found a new mate for their PowerEdge servers. Dell will be making Solaris 10 and Solaris support services available on these select servers. Of course, this all comes after IBM announced this past August that they would be offering Sun's Solaris on some of their x86 servers. Read more in the Sun press release.
Back in September we were finally able to test the Razer Barracuda AC-1 under Linux. This sound card, which employs the C-Media Oxygen HD CMI8788 audio processor, took quite a while to be supported by ALSA but the CMI8788 driver found in ALSA 1.0.15 was very problematic. This is the same APU found on other high-end sound cards such as the Auzentech X-Meridian, Bluegears B-inspirer, and ASUS Xonar, but with this driver it had worked worse than most cheaper alternatives.
After talking about NVIDIA's ESA standard yesterday and whether it would appear for Linux users, we noticed that the LM_Sensors team is making very good progress towards LM_Sensors 3.0. The first LM_Sensors 3 release candidate came out towards the end of September. Distinguishing LM_Sensors 3 from the current stable LM_Sensors 2.10 series it is now only a user-space-only package with no kernel components needed. The i2c components for LM_sensors have also been split into i2c-tools. The sensor library, libsensors, also received a brand new API for LM_Sensors 3. Released in early October was then LM_Sensors 3.0.0-rc2, which contained a number of fixes. Most recently, however, last week marked the release of LM_Sensors 3.0.0-rc3. This most recent testing release introduced better handling of the default configuration file path.
The developers behind ALSA (the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), are out this morning with the v1.0.15 release. This new ALSA release includes updated ALSA drivers, libraries, plug-ins, and utilities. In total there are 98 drivers with changes, and this release does even include support for C-Media's Oxygen HD CMI8788. The CMI8788 APU is used on such sound cards as the Razer Barracuda AC-1, which up to this point was only supported by the Open Sound System. ALSA 1.0.15 has a number of changes especially for the CMIPCI, HDA, and USB audio drivers. The complete list of changes between ALSA 1.0.14 and 1.0.15 can be found on the ALSA Project Wiki.
After the release of LM_Sensors 2.10.4, a new release of XSensors is finally available. XSensors 0.60 introduces new support for the following chips: Fintek F71805F/FG, SMSC LPC47M192, k8temp, and w83627ehf. Also fixed in this XSensors release is a potential segmentation fault as well as some sanity checking on sensors. The complete XSensors change-log is available here with additional details and download links at LinuxHardware.org.
Following our ASUS Motherboard Ships With Embedded Linux, Web Browser article, ASUS has released a series of slides to Phoronix containing additional information about their "Express Gate" functionality.
Hitting the web is now the third release candidate for ALSA 1.0.15. As we shared in an earlier article, ALSA 1.0.15 delivers the first C-Media Oxygen HD CMI8788 driver for supporting the Razer Barracuda AC-1 and other high-end sound cards. Of course, there's a lot of other work and fixes going into ALSA 1.0.15 as well. Between ALSA 1.0.15-rc2 and 1.0.15-rc3 is fixes and work going on with a number of the ALSA drivers as well as updates to the Sound Core. All of the details are available from the ALSA Project Wiki.
This week at a Power Architecture conference, IBM showed off a new Power-based system codenamed "Bimini." Bimini is a 4-way PowerPC 970MP that ships with an XGI XP10 PCI Express x16 graphics card. Ian Romanick has been working on the XGI X.Org driver (1.5.0 XGI driver) for the past couple of months all for this new IBM creation. The XGI driver is still a work in progress and needs a lot of work still, but Ian seems to be dedicated towards improving the driver for this once hopeful Taiwan company. You can read about Ian's work on the XGI driver on his FreeDesktop.org blog.
Creative Labs' X-Fi Linux driver is now available for download. We talked about the beta driver yesterday, and this morning the official announcement is coming out of Creative Labs. This closed-source X-Fi driver is ALSA compatible on the Linux 2.6 kernel and includes an installation script to automate the process. Not only is this just a closed-source beta driver that's over two years late, but right now it only supports x86_64 Linux. Users running 32-bit Linux or other architectures are still out of luck until Creative Labs supports them or support comes through the Advanced Linux Architecture or the Open Sound System.
The news is a bit late, but ALSA (the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) is out with its first release candidate in the 1.0.15 series. Since the release of ALSA 1.0.14, this new sound driver release introduces a great deal of changes. There are some alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, alsa-utils, and alsa-firmware changes in this release, but most of the work (as would be expected) is done to the ALSA core drivers. In fact, there is quite a number of driver changes in ALSA 1.0.15-rc1. One of the interesting improvements in ALSA is support for the C-Media Oxygen HD CMI8788, which is a high-end audio processor used by such sound cards as the Razer Barracuda AC-1. The various HDA (High Definition Audio) drivers have also received updates and bug fixes. Find out more on the ALSA 1.0.15-rc1 change-log.
It was less than a week ago when we last updated you on the status of the $150 Medison Celebrity laptop. At that time the insanely cheap laptop was still no where to be found. However, it seems as if the final confirmation is there that this 1.5GHz Celeron processor, 256MB of RAM, Linux-loaded, 14" wide-screen laptop is indeed a scam. Over the weekend the Medison Celebrity website was shutdown and now just advertises the hosting company that Medison had used. Though for those of you who had placed an order thinking that this laptop was real, 2CheckOut (the merchant account processor) has stated that Medison is now on a deadline to produce a laptop otherwise all standing orders will be canceled and their balances refunded. It looks like the story of the Medison Celebrity is now coming to a close...
Remember the Medison Celebrity Laptop that was advertised as a $150 USD laptop loaded with Fedora Linux? It's still missing in action. It's well over a month now since the Medison Celebrity first appeared on the Internet and led many to wonder if it was really a mordacious scam. This laptop that advertises a 1.5GHz Celeron processor, 256MB of RAM, 802.11g WiFi, and 14" wide-screen still isn't to be found. It was claimed it would be a few weeks before the Medison Celebrity would be shipping, but a month later we haven't yet heard anything back from the Medison Celebrity company or 2Checkout that handles the billing side. Their website hasn't been updated aside from changing the pictures. The support phone lines for Medison Celebrity are also still "temporarly closed" a month later. The Medison Celebrity folks still must be learning how to spell "temporarily" or how to setup their phone lines... At least the ASUS Eee PC laptop will be available soon.
As was pointed out in the Phoronix Forums, there is now an open-source utility to configure your Razer DeathAdder mouse under Linux. This DeathAdder Linux program can control the LEDs as well as altering the scanning resolution, frequency, and profiles. While this program is aimed for the DeathAdder mouse on Linux, it also supports changing the scan resolution for the Razer Krait mouse.
Within the last few days the official website for the ALSA project (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) website received an overhaul. The ALSA project website is now Wiki-based with a brand new appearance. The supported sound card matrix is also now on the Wiki and is still laid out by manufacturer but with a new format. The latest version of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture remains at 1.0.14, but the ALSA 1.0.15 release candidates will hopefully begin soon.
Making news on the Internet in the past 24 hours has been the "Medison Celebrity Laptop", which claims to be a $150 USD laptop that ships with an Intel Celeron 1.5GHz processor, a 14" LCD screen, 802.11g wireless, and uses Fedora Linux. For such a low price this looks like an incredible deal, but its validity can be questioned. Medison says that its phone lines are "temporarily closed", specific information on the Medison Celebrity laptop is limited, and there is a rather long turn-around time. Beyond these points that have already been brought up in the electronic world, there is a equal if not greater number of questions surrounding Valdi Ivancic, Medison's CEO and president, and his past business activities.
Dell knows it won't happen overnight, but along side wanting to ship audio/video codecs, Intel Wireless 80.211N support for Linux, Broadcom Wireless for Linux, and being able to ship notebooks and desktops with Compiz Fusion enabled, Dell would like to see improved ATI Linux drivers. At Ubuntu Live 2007, Amit Bhutani had a session on Ubuntu Linux for Dell Consumer Systems, where he had shared a slide with Dell's "area of investigation", which Amit had said is essentially their Linux road-map. Amit had also stated that the NVIDIA 2D and 3D video drivers were "challenges in platform enablement". Dell wants to offer ATI Linux systems, but first the driver must be improved for the Linux platform (not necessarily open-source, but improved). Dell currently ships desktop Linux systems with Intel using their open-source drivers as well as NVIDIA graphics processors under Linux. Amit had went on to add that new Dell product offerings and availability in other countries will come later this summer.
LM_Sensors 2.10.4 has been released, which adds Linux 2.4 kernel support for the Winbond W83627EHG, user-space support for the SMSC DME1737, and support for a variety of other ASICs. The complete set of changes for 2.10.4 can be read from their change log and you can download this latest hardware monitoring package from the LM_Sensors Wiki.
Many Linux users are after lobbying hardware manufacturers for open-source graphics drivers or specifications for complex pieces of hardware, but an effort is underway to get hardware specifications for something very simple, a remote control. The Logitech Harmony 880 is a universal remote that contains a color LCD display and has proved to be a very popular peripheral and can interface with everything from a TiVO to a computer and other home appliances. For the past few months Phil Dibowitz has been working on writing a Linux driver for this $250 USD remote control.
An announcement has been made on the LM_Sensors home-page that version 2.10.4 of this hardware monitoring program will be available in mid-July. This maintenance release will add support for a few new chips and fix some outstanding bugs. The specific changes that will be found in LM_Sensors 2.10.4 can be found in the trunk CHANGES. The final release is currently planned for July 16.
Dell had started shipping two desktops and one notebook last month that was loaded with Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn", but based upon the sales and success so far with these Linux-loaded PCs in the United States, they are in the process of expanding their Ubuntu selection. Now being offered at Dell is Ubuntu on the Inspiron 1420N notebook with a number of customization options. Expect more Dell Ubuntu desktops and notebooks in the near future. Hewlett-Packard may also be joining the US Linux consumer PC party as well.
Announced on the OpenSolaris forums by 4Front Technologies is that they will be open-sourcing the Open Sound System (OSS) on June 14th. 4Front's Open Sound will be licensed under the CDDL for Solaris and GPLv2 for Linux, BSD, and other platforms. This is great news and you can share your thoughts on it in the Phoronix Foruns. Additional information will come a week from today, June 14, when the announcement is officially made.

While the rest of nation is basking in Ashes glory, spare a thought for the Jewish game which is fast dying a death. London Maccabi Vale has, like so many other clubs, been hard-hit by poor availability, with the Maccabiah Games affecting their early season plans.
Sunday's defeat against West Harrow was the lowest that many at the club have felt for some time. Although the club has a thriving colts section, I sincerely hope that there remains a platform for them to show the quality within Jewish sport for years to come.
Captain Adam Brand blasted his troops after "an inept batting performance" left London Maccabi Vale 1sts' hopes of avoiding relegation hanging by a thread.
Standing in for Jerome Colmans, Brand (5-18) helped dismiss basement battlers West Harrow for 165.
Paul Durban (61) was the only LMV batsman to come away with an credit as they lost by 30 runs, the team's third consecutive Middlesex Sunday League defeat.
MAL suffered a second consecutive defeat as a severely weakened team took on Old Parkonians in Ilford.
Three debutantes again showed that there is depth out there, but it wasn't to be on a hard batting track with lightning-quick outfield.
MAL skipper Mark Landau won the toss and inserted the opposition, who came out in positive mood from the off, though surviving the odd scare.
Belmont & Edgware (204) were beaten by one run in a nail-biter against Wycombe House (202-2). With a number of key players missing, a team containing three members of the GB Junior Maccabiah team took to the field for the Middlesex Sunday League Division Two clash.
Tight spells from Jonny Feigenbaum, Stuart Davis and Neil Myeroff restricted Wycombe House to 58-1 at the halfway point but they were let off the hook by several dropped catches and poor fielding.
Champions South Manchester Maccabi beat Bury & Whitefield by three wickets as the Northern Jewish Cricket League season drew to a close.
Bury (122) never got going as South, who used nine bowlers, shared the wickets around. Veteran Harry Rosenblum picked up 2 as did Akiva Lieberman.
The South reply got off to a terrible start losing four wickets with 58 on the board. Wickets continued to tumble around Elliot Shiers (25) as South plummeted to 63-7.
MAL suffered only their fourth defeat of the season, with a severely weakened side soundly beaten by a strong Octopus CC.
Featuring five debutants, MAL's total of 142 saw only three players reached double figures, though good fight was shown throughout the order, particularly given that there were two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old in the line up.
Lower order batsmen Andrew Greenwall Cohen and Gideon Gale maintained London Maccabi Vale 2nd's Middlesex Sunday League Division Three status with a gripping two-wicket win over West Middlesex.
Skipper Jonathan Lederman won an incredible 11th toss out of 12 this season, and duly inserting West Middx, in the knowledge that LMV had a lizard's tail (twice as long as it's body apparently).
A half century from Jerome Roith helped Casual Nomads beat Thespian Thunders by 74 runs.
Roith (54) and captain Richard Ferrer (44) were the mainstays of the Nomads innings which ended on 171.
The father and son team of Andy (3-12) and Nick Landesberg (3-20) kept TT on the back foot as they were dismissed for 91.
Ferrer said: "We looked 30 runs light at tea but some fabulous bowling - particularly from Andy Landesberg (3-12) and his son Nick who took five between them - saw us home with plenty to spare."
Belmont & Edgware were beaten by one run in a nail-biter against Wycombe House.
With a number of key players missing for BECC, a team containing three members of the GB Junior Maccabiah team took to the field.
Jonny Feigenbaum and Stuart Davis opened the bowling as they have done many times in the past. he bowling was tight and runs hard to obtain.
Due to a minor injury, Jon Evans was brought into the attack early and once stand-in keeper Michael Blasebalk stood up to the wicket runs dried up and the first wicket fell.
Israel have dropped all-rounder Isaac Massil for the European Championships Division Three clash against Spain.
A stalwart of the national team, who won bronze at the Maccabiah Games last month, Massil has been omitted to give opportunities to younger players.
Captain and coached by Herschel Gutman, Israel have named their youngest-ever squad. All-rounder Gabi Schachat, player of the tournament at last year's ECC Under 17 Championships, as well as Maccabiah starlet Nir Dokarker have been included in the senior squad for the first time.
