Thursday 20 July 2006
The World Today is a comprehensive current affairs program which backgrounds, analyses, interprets and encourages debate on events and issues of interest and importance to all Australians. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
A week after the Israeli Army Chief Dan Halutz threatened to set the country back 20 years, Lebanon's Prime Minister says that has probably now been achieved. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora says Lebanon has been brought to its knees by what he's described as an unprecedented Israeli campaign and that rebuilding will take years. But he says he believes the Israeli offensive will still fail and could even strengthen Hezbollah.
Scores of Australians remain trapped in the villages around Bint Jbeil and Aitaroun close to the Israeli border in the area where Israel has told many villagers to leave their homes. And some of the Australians have decided to risk death on South Lebanon's roads, despite the Australian Government's advice to stay put.
The southern suburbs of Beirut, near the airport, have also been heavily targeted. Overnight Israel dropped 23 tonnes of bunker busting bombs on a single building, with an Israeli defence spokesman saying this was targeted at Hezbollah leaders. And while Hezbollah has denied that any of its leaders or members were killed in the attack, it terrified civilians in the area.
As the attacks on civilian targets by both sides continue, the United Nations has raised the possibility that war crimes may be being committed during this conflict. The UN's Human Rights chief, Louise Arbour, has said those in command of the attacks could bear criminal responsibility for their impact.
Despite these concerns about some actions in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict breaching Geneva conventions, the vast majority of Israelis still support the military offensive against Hezbollah. Across the country there's broad backing for the new Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and even Israeli peace activists have come out in support of the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon, as the ABC's Emma Griffiths reports from Haifa.
It's been dubbed the millionaires factory, and today Macquarie Bank lived up to its name. First-quarter profits are up and the full year result is expected to beat last year's record of more than $900 million. But it was the bank's super salaries that again attracted attention, as shareholders gathered for the annual general meeting in Sydney.
It hasn't all been bad news for some of the investors in Westpoint, the property group that collapsed earlier this year. The sale of some assets from have been getting good prices, but the more than 3,000 small investors who sank their life savings into the company are unlikely to benefit from the sell-off.
The former ATSIC Chairman Geoff Clark will soon have to face a civil court case involving claims that he raped a woman 35 years ago. In a five-two decision, the High Court has decided to allow an appeal from Carol Stingel, who says she was raped by Geoff Clark in 1971 when she was 16 years old.
Some Indigenous leaders are expressing outrage today at a suggestion by the Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough that young Aboriginal people should be showcased in the lobbies of five-star hotels in Australia's major cities. Indigenous academics say the idea harks back to the colonial notion of the noble savage, as Jennifer Macey reports.
Holland is facing another test of its renowned tolerance. A Dutch court has ruled that a political party promoting paedophilia should be allowed to contest elections in November. But the party is unlikely to actually win a seat in the Parliament.
It's official: Australians are living longer but working harder. That's one of the findings of a snapshot of the population taken by the Bureau of Statistics. The bureau's annual analysis of social change looks at everything from health and education to the distribution of wealth.

Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.
Stuart worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard and a fair price. Would highly recommend
Matt did a brilliant job repointing two walls of our house at a competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.
Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.

The Pioneer Press is reporting that a Minnesota farmer who discovered more than a dozen black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) on his property last summer has dealt with the situation - by poisoning them all. Though they were once considered for listing as an endangered species in their native range in the western U.S., prairie dogs are not native to Minnesota, and are not protected by that state. Though it was unclear whether the colony of rodents would be able to survive in the long-term, the farmer was concerned with the danger posed to his horses that could be caused by all the digging, and decided to eradicate the animals while populations were still manageable.

Rating: PG-13
Type: Inuyasha and Rurouni Kenshin Crossover
Summary: Today on Inuyasha, Kagome travel backs to the present time and senses another Jewel Shard. A new boy in school possesses the shard and he's becoming suspicious of Kagome and her 'illnesses'. She can sense a strange power coming from the boy and it's not from the shard! Will she be able to retrieve the shard and still be able to keep her travels a secret? Find out today on Inuyasha!
Kazuki and Kagome's Secret!
"Are you sure you wish to go back now Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked. Everyone, except for Inuyasha, was gathered at the bone-eaters well for a meeting. "You still have a few days before you need to get back to your own time."
Kagome sighed and looked at her comrades, "I think Inuyasha needs a break for awhile. And me being here isn't going to help. Besides, I'm falling way behind in my schoolwork!" Everyone reluctantly agreed and bid farewell to Kagome as she jumped down into the well. Kagome landed with a soft thud and she slowly stood up. "What if next time Inuyasha doesn't go back…and he just… No Kagome, don't think such things. He's stronger than that. I hope…" She climbed out of the well and headed for the house. When she walked in her mother was talking to a woman. They were conversing about the best places to shop and what roads to avoid. Kagome's mother looked towards her daughter and was a little surprised to see her. She smiled and waved to her.
"Kagome! I didn't expect to see you today! Weren't you going to be with your friends for a few more days?"
Kagome nearly melted out of her socks. Doesn't she realize that other woman is here!
Kagome's mother's smile went wider and she looked at the other woman, "She was staying with some friends for awhile and I didn't expect her back." The woman smiled and nodded. "Kagome, this is Mrs. Kitakawa. She and her family just moved into the old house next door. You want to come help move them in?" Ms. Higarashi waited for a reply but Kagome still stood there in disbelief. "Or…do you want to go to school today?"
Kagome shook the thoughts out of her head and forced a smile. "I better go to school today." She laughed nervously and picked up bag so she could clean it out first in her room. Kagome walked backwards towards the stairs still waving to them when she walked right into someone. Stuff went flying everywhere out of Kagome's bag including the few Jewel shards her and her group still had.
"Nice outfit…did you stop by the edge of the road for a snack or something? Never mind, judging by the noodles in your bag you didn't need to." Kagome looked up to see a redheaded boy staring down at her with a bored look on his face. She turned red and hurriedly began picking up her items.
"Kazuki! How rude! Apologize to her and help her pick up her stuff!" Mrs. Kitakawa yelled at the boy apparently known as Kazuki. He groaned and helped Kagome pick up her supplies. Kagome was still furious at the boy so when they finished she didn't bother to thank him.
Kagome double-checked her bag to make sure everything was there. Everything was except for the jewel shard container. "Oh no! Where did it go?" She could still sense the shards and she realized that the boy was looking at them. "Hey! Give me those!" She tried snatching for them but the boy managed to hold them above their heads. She jumped up and down trying to grab them from him but the managed to dodge her hands. He laughed and gave her the jar.
"Jeez, I was just looking at them. They look like the one I got." The boy pulled up his necklace from his shirt to reveal a jewel fragment. Kagome was tempted to steal it from him but there was no way she could without him hurting her.
Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when her mother spoke, "Kagome, why don't you show Kazuki the way to school. He's in the same grade as you and he doesn't know the way yet. Go take a quick shower and get changed first though!" Kagome glared at the boy and went up to her room. When she was done taking a shower and changing she came back down. Kazuki was swinging his necklace around his finger as if he held no value to him. They said good-bye to their mothers and headed off to school.
They were about half way there and nether one of them had said a word. Kagome was staring at her feet and Kazuki had his hands behind his head like he didn't have a care in the world. She studied his features closely: Long red hair, violet eyes, and it was obvious he worked out a little. Plus she thought he was somewhat cute.
"Tell me, do you normally stare at people, or do you think if you stare long enough I'll blow up. Believe me, it doesn't work…I've been trying for awhile…"
She jumped when she heard his voice. She turned her head trying not to look him in the eyes. "Sorry, yeesh. Hey…wait! What do you mean you've been trying awhile?" He ignored her question and continued walking. "You are so obnoxious! One question, where did you get that shard?"
He stopped so Kagome could catch up with her. "Let's see…I think a rabid squirrel had it. I had to shoot it and this thing was in its forehead. Pain probably drove it nuts or something. Where did you get yours?"
Kagome jumped a little. "Mine? Uh, from a friend," she lied and quickened her pace. "Let's get going before we're late!"
Throughout the day she couldn't help but wonder about Kazuki and the shard. She needed to get it away from him without his knowing. At lunch her friends nagged at her telling her how could she do this to Hojo. She chose to ignore them and continued to eat her lunch while random girls in her grade bugged Kazuki. During history she nearly fell asleep. The teacher smacked his ruler on her desk to wake her. Kagome jumped up and her classmates snickered excluding Kazuki who had just woken up himself.
"All right class, we will be doing a report and the report and it can be over about anything you want…"
Kagome smiled to herself knowing she could do it easily since she had learned a lot in the past.
"The time setting will be the Meiji Era. You may all go to the library to look up information."
Kagome's desk tipped over. She was really hoping that she could do it about Feudal Japan. They all went to the library for information. Kagome pulled out a book randomly. It was about people from the era. She lazily flipped through the pages. The pages were yellow and torn from age. She flipped to a page and gasped. It was a picture did in ink of a man with a scar across his cheek. "It can't be…" She read slowly to herself
Kenshin Himura was also known as the Battousi. He had blood colored hair and violet eyes. His main trademark was a cross shaped scar on his cheek. He was a manslayer for the revolution but mysteriously disappeared right before it ended…
Someone can't live that long, can they? He looks almost exactly like the picture except younger...of course this is only a painting. Kagome had been through so many situations she could believe that Kazuki was the Battousi. Maybe he also lived through the Feudal Era…and that's where he got the shard. Maybe with the shard you can live forever! That would explain why he looks nothing like his mother. He must have been adopted. Kagome looked through the pages trying to find out more about the Battousi after the revolution. There was nothing about him. "Fine, I'll just do a report about him! I'm bound to find something more!" Kagome was shushed by the librarian and sent out of the library.
The rest of the day was pretty tedious. She managed to get a great amount of her work done surprisingly and her friends got her ointments for her feet. Apparently Kagome had developed an unknown fungus on them recently. When school was out she saw Kazuki waiting for her. They walked home in silence for the majority of the trip.
"So…what are you doing your report on?" Kagome was startled by Kazuki's voice. He rolled his eyes and continued talking. "I'm doing mine about some sort of 'false army'. Interesting stuff. So what is yours about?"
"I'm doing mine about a Battousi, heard of him?"
"Nope, can't say I have."
Kagome was disappointed to hear this. She was hoping that she would catch him with his wording. "What kind of stuff are you into? Music? Movies? Food? History? Computers? Art? Killing people?"
"What? Uh, I guess I like soccer. It keeps me in shape. I'm in track. I also like foreign music. No idea why but I do. What are you into? Music? Sports? Art? Jewel collecting?"
"What! Did my mom open her mouth? I can't believe she did that! I swear I can explain!" Kagome was frustrated. How could her mother tell this kid, whom she barely knows, about her jewel collecting! She was trying to think of an explanation.
"What the fu…heck are you talking about? I was just wondering because of those shard thingies. My dad collected old swords. You're a paranoid schizophrenic, you know that?"
They continued to argue outside of the Higarashi shrine. Nether one of them was going to give in anytime soon. The two mothers came out because of the racket and began their own yelling. The two teens quickly calmed down and glowered.
"Sorry Kagome, I didn't mean to call you a…well you know. Truce?"
Kagome was shocked by his sudden mood swing. Kazuki extended his hand to shake. Kagome took it not wanting to offend her mother or anyone else. "Truce."
"Good, now that that's settled why doesn't everyone come inside for tea? You guys can stay for dinner too!"
"Thank you Ms. Higarashi. It's much appreciated." Kazuki bowed slightly. "Oh, but first I wanna go change out of my uniform. And this necklace is chaffing my neck so B-R-B!" He quickly ran out of the yard and headed towards his own house to change.
The dinner went quite well to Kagome's surprise. Kazuki wasn't as rude as he made it seem, unless he was only nice in front of his mother. Kagome could sense a weird aura around him as if there was an untapped power source in him. Sota really looked up the Kazuki and asked if he could stay. He agreed just so Sota was happy. Kagome turned red in the face at the thought of a male classmate staying in her house. Mrs. Kitakawa said she had work in the morning so she really had to get some sleep. She was also going to bring Kazuki some fresh clothes in the morning. They said their farewells and headed off to bed.
"We need to look for more jewel shards! She can't just leave like that!" Inuyasha was yelling at Miroku. Sango and Shippo stood afar not wanting to deal with the half demon's wrath. "I don't care if she was leaving for my own good! We can't have damn Naraku finding the jewel shards before we do! I'm going after her!"
"Wait! Kagome specifically asked that you get some time alone. We mustn't disobey her wishes."
Inuyasha ignored the monk's statements and jumped into the well without a second thought.
"Hey Kagome!" Kazuki was brushing his teeth in their bathroom. He spat and wiped his mouth. "Don't you need to take some medication or something?"
"What? Uh, ya, I will soon." Kagome was yelling through the door of her room. She put on her top and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Kazuki was using mouthwash and gargling. "Don't choke on it…" Kazuki eyes went wide and he spat up the liquid. They looked at each other and laughed. Kagome stopped abruptly and grabbed a washcloth. What am I doing, he's a jerk! She wiped up the mess he made on the mirror and put the towel in the hamper. Oh great, now he's flossing! She stared at his teeth; they were pearly white and seemed to be flawless.
"I thought we discussed the staring thing…good thing you haven't realized I don't have a shirt on…" Kazuki voice was muffled from his flossing. Kagome looked at his chest and her cheeks were tinged with red. She quickly excused herself and walked hurriedly to her room. "Oh, and when I checked your medicine cabinet for mouthwash there wasn't any medicine bottles! If you're going to fake being sick at least put up some props!" Kazuki yelled after her knowing she could still hear him. Kagome slammed her door shut furiously. The sound echoed through the house. She flopped down on her bed and put her pillow to her face. Screaming into the pillow she could still hear Kazuki outside walking to Sota's room. She stopped and sprawled on her bed. She switched off her lamp and dozed off into a deep sleep.
Next time on Inuyasha! Kagome thinks for once she can have a moment's peace but is she in for a surprise! Inuyasha climbs through the well and is attacking Kazuki. How is Kagome going to explain this one? Next time: Kagome's Secret Revealed! See you soon.

Friday January 10th, 2014 10:07am
The best thing about the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft being moved to January is that we can talk about the league months before the game will be played. People really resisted the move when it happened, but now it's almost like it was destined to be this way. Moving the draft is easily the best move to come out of the league office. Ever. Everyone loves it. Do you want a hug? I got a hug for you. OK. Great. Now sit down and tune in to what I'm saying here: You're in the wrong room. The mock draft for funsies is one door down.
This is the murder room; we kill expectations here.
The 2014 draft isn't for fun. It's a monster wrapped in pretty bows and shiny ribbons. It's a cutthroat re-introduction to eight guerilla factions fighting over the best lacrosse players in the world. There are several individuals that take this event seriously and those individuals are the very people that have helped me cobble together my little positional board. Yes, these are my aggregated rankings. This is your 2014 MLL Position Primer.
Also, check out each team's needs and the full MLL Collegiate Draft order and live stream details. The draft is 8:30 p.m. in Philadelphia.
Jordan Wolf, Duke (57G, 28A) Duke has become a factory of professional lacrosse players: Matt Danowski, Ned Crotty, Max Quinzani (for a bit anyway). Jordan Wolf will become the next Duke attackman to send ripples throughout the MLL pool. Truth be told, he's probably closer to the Quinzani end of that spectrum, but he has Crotty's speed and will most likely be replacing him in Rochester. His ability to beat his man behind the cage and finish sets him apart from the rest of the attackmen in this draft class.
Kieran McArdle, St. John's (36, 39) The most multi-faceted offensive player in this draft is probably Tom Schreiber, but a close second is Kieran McArdle. The Red Storm attackman was second in the country in points per game, putting up 6.54 tallies a contest, just behind Albany wunderkind Lyle Thompson's 6.65 average. McArdle is a five-tool attackman, the only question marks are his level of competition ("Hi, this is pro lacrosse have you met our ACC bias? He's running the draft.") and his ability to fit in with a team. McArdle would be great on, say the Cannons (learning from Boyle) or the Rattlers (where there are open attack spots) but would wither and die on the vine in places like Chesapeake, Ohio or Denver that would move him around and force him to play a role for which he's not suited. Still, he's a gifted playmaker that likes to run an offense and hopefully he gets a chance to do that wherever he lands.
Justin Ward, Loyola (27, 35) Mike Sawyer may have gotten all of the attention last year for his goal scoring, but Justin Ward was on the business end of a good number of Sawyer's buckets. Ward is a bit of a risk-taker; he led his team in points (62), but he also led them in turnovers (37). He just edges out Miles Thompson for third on the board, but he might go later than he should as he is the start of the second tier of attackmen on the board and there are other positions with more desirable players.
Miles Thompson, Albany (43, 30) Thompson's entertainment value is higher than any of the other attackmen in this draft class. If you want a highlight-reel guy who gets your team exposure this is the Thompson that you're looking for.
Thomas DeNapoli, Towson (41, 19) His versatility is what make him more attractive than some of the other guys on the list. Originally a midfielder, DeNapoli was moved down low last year to fill a need and dropped well more than 50 points as a result. It's all the more impressive given Towson's slower tempo on offense in 2013.
Brandon Mangan, Yale (39, 25) Mentioned a good deal by coaches. Many of them had him higher, but the knock on the Ivy guys is, and has always been, that you're not sure who is going to stick around.
Mark Cockerton, Virginia (49, 7) Cockerton is a go-to-the-goal dodger who was instant offense (and in some of the games in which the Wahoos struggled, their only offense) whose game translates to the MLL the way an off-the-bench gunner might in the NBA. Think Jamal Crawford — run Cockerton out of the box, let him invert and watch.
Josh Dionne, Duke (45, 5) Low on a lot of boards, but I think he has a whiff of the Quinzani about him. In a good way. He smells like bread? I don't know, he's a 'Shire boy, so I'll ride for him regardless.
Ty Thompson, Albany (54, 14) Not that many teams need an interior finisher. Probably a package deal for whoever drafts Miles.
Sleeper: Alex Love, Hobart (45, 10) When I dismissed his accomplishments one coach said "Yeah, except he put up all of those points while drawing the opposition's best defender." Touché, unnamed coach. Touché. There haven't been that many Hobart guys that have panned out in the league, but you could say that for a lot of other schools as well. Give Love a chance. All you need is Love? The T-shirts you could sell at games…
Thomas Schreiber, Princeton (28, 32) The soup du jour of this draft is the Schreiber bisque, and depending on whom you speak with it's quite delectable indeed. Schreiber won't have the same impact as the Archduke Ferdinand had on the world, but I think everyone expects him to be a rookie that contributes right away. His shooting has drawn both the appreciation and ire of various MLL coaches, but his passing ability — especially as a midfielder — is his most valuable skill. Schreiber is as MLL-ready as you can get, but remember he is going to be playing the deepest position in the best league in the world. He's going to make good on his talent but the comparisons to players like Paul Rabil and Max Seibald are comically hyperbolic.
Rob Emery, Virginia (22, 6) It's probably surprising to see Emery up this high, but the value of a large athletic midfielder that has consistently gotten better throughout his college career is too enticing to skip over. Emery may not have eye-popping numbers, but he has been on a tough UVa midfield line for well over two seasons now and is entering the year as the top offensive option. His shooting desperately needs to improve (it was just over 26% last year) but if he goes the right team and draws a shortie he will lay waste to them and stand pat to hear the lamentations of the women. If Emery can crack a lineup in which he can get some runs, and some service, he could have a Drew-Snider-type breakout — but his would be as a rookie.
Jeremy Noble, Denver (11, 7) It's only fair to include a prospect that MLL scouts have been salivating over for more than a year now. Noble would be higher on the list, but he's earmarked for one team and one team only: the Outlaws. It's not that other teams don't want him; they just accept that he won't be there after the Outlaws pick him sixth in the first round. You might look at his points totals and wonder why he's rated so high, but as a sophomore he threw up 46 points (25, 21) and had defenders checking air as he blew past them.
Mike Chanenchuk, Maryland (23, 14)
I still remember seeing Chanenchuk annihilate defenders as a freshman at Princeton years ago. I remember writing down a list of puns with his name because I knew one day he would be in MLL, and I couldn't wait to unleash an unrelenting stream of nunchuck jokes on all of you. Well, he may not be arriving with the fanfare I predicted, but by all accounts he's in the best shape of his life heading into this season. He's not a sleeper, but I think any team that picks him will be rewarded later this summer.
Rob Guida, Johns Hopkins (3, 4, Only suited up for six games in 2013) Yeah, I know seven points in six games doesn't usually get you a spot anywhere, and playing for Hopkins is the only reason he's here — blah blah blah. You can put that in a burrito and choke on it ; Guida can play. Another later round present who could produce on the right team.
M Ben McIntosh, Drexel (38, 18) Not mentioned by his full name that much. Consistently referred to as "the Drexel kid" by MLL coaches, McIntosh is hexed by his Western Canadian-ism. The only viable team for him to play for is Denver and maybe only for this summer as a fill-in.
Tom LaCrosse, Penn State (23, 5) Best. Name. Ever. Part of the much bally-hoed PSU offense, if LaCrosse gets the ball more in his senior year his stats could shoot up and make any team that drafts him look like a genius.
Sleeper: Alex Zomerfeld Bryant (26, 18) Because, be honest, you've never heard of him. I read my list out loud to a number of coaches and his name was added by a few. His stats are unremarkable; he's not even at the top three for scoring on his team (he's fourth) but he gets a ton of shots off (103) against good defenders despite not being the No. 1 option on the Bulldogs.
Pat Laconi, Loyola (4G, 6A, 24GB) There are a number of GMs and coaches that have Ryan Creighton higher on their boards, but for me Laconi is the guy I want on the wing. There's just something about those Loyola defensive middies.
Ryan Creighton, North Carolina (11G, 3A, 22GB) Creighton should be coveted by teams in need of defensive shortstick help — Boston, Ohio, Rochester — but don't expect him to go before any of the Top 5 close defensemen or even attackmen that are in demand. D-mids are like Tylenol — you can get them anywhere.
Brendan Fowler, Duke (64.4%, 209GB) A lot has been made about Fowler's relative inability to win many draws against MLL pros at the Team USA tryouts this past fall. Not since Alex Smith has a face-off man garnered so much attention with his performance — and deserved it. I mean, sure, Greg Gurenlian and Co. wiped the floor with him, but Beast wipes the floor with almost everyone. Fowler should be even better as a senior and has some great battles on the horizon with a good deal of the guys below him in this draft. Some have projected him as a first-round pick, but in the words of more than one coach "If you pick a face-off guy in the first round you should be fired on the spot." The lower he slips, the more valuable he becomes. Wait he had 209 groundballs? What the what? Someone draft this guy, please.
Dylan Levings, Yale (59.7%, 129GB) A true face-off technician, Levings has had made a career of collecting ridiculous numbers in the Ivy leave and beyond. He has drawn many comparisons to Fowler, but Levings is a different kind of draw man. He relies a bit more on speed than Fowler does, but Levings will grind and chew your stick up to win the ball. There may be one or two coaches that have him ahead of Fowler, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him go right next to him in the draft or even before.
Thomas Croonquist, Villanova (56.1%, 107GB) A star turn in the Syracuse game last season put Croonquist on the map in the face-off community. A 22-24 performance is as close to a no-hitter as you get at the X, doing it against the team that made it to the national championship game is all the more impressive. Not a bad door prize for a team looking to upgrade at the face-off position like Rochester, Ohio, or Charlotte.
Doug Tesoriero, Cornell (58.1%, 133GB) It's not bad enough that I messed up McArdle's name all week, but I can't even say Tesoriero's name correctly. Killer numbers, as is the case with most of the guys in this group, but question marks remain about his team. How off course is the Cornell ship without DeLuca?
RG Keenan, UNC (52.9%, 111GB) Keenan's percentage isn't that high, but keep in mind that he had to go against stiffer competition (ACC BIAS!) and he struggled against Chase Carrero (17-26 against Keenan and teammate Brent Armstrong) as well as UVas Mick Parks (who went 14-19 in the game). Let's not even bring up how he did against Fowler. Those numbers are even uglier. So why is he here? I mentioned several other face-off guys before him and three coaches said "why don't you have Keenan on there?" I replied "Uhm…because everyone else had better numbers." The coaches were unimpressed with that logic. So here he is.
Sleeper: F/O Brent Hiken, Stevenson (70.8%, 133GB) Yes, he's a DIII player. He's also the best drawman in the division and won a national championship last year. Hiken's numbers are monstrous, and he's under the tutelage of Paul Cantabene to boot. He might be the next DIII guy to just flat out take the pros by storm a la Stephen Berger and Kyle Hartzell — especially if the right team picks him.
Click next for LSMs, defensemen and goalies.
Luke Duprey, Duke (69GBb, 37CT) Is he really an LSM? Not in MLL he's not. Duprey's predatory style will be more effective down low in MLL where checks are visits to the hospital and men are beasts. Duprey is in high demand and his draft stock could not be higher going into the draft. I said earlier that nearly everyone loved Schreiber, well everyone had good things to say about Duprey. It's not often that you hear MLL personnel gush over a defenseman, but gush they did. This guy's ceiling is somewhere around Mike Evans or Tucker Durkin and the worst-case scenario is that he's Brian Spallina. Take that how you will.
John LoCascio, Villanova (85GB, 53CT) I hesitate to use the term technician two positions in a row, but Locasio is as good of a technical LSM as anyone else in the draft. There is just something about those Villanova longpoles. He may not be the next Brian Karalunas, but then again no one expected Brian Karalunas to be the next Kyle Sweeney. Locasio led the nation in caused turnovers with 53. The next closest person had 38. I like anyone that can put the ball on the carpet, and no one in college lacrosse does that any better than LoCasio.
Pat Kiernan, Navy (68GB, 26 CT) It's usually tough to slot a serviceman high because of their commitment to protect our freedoms, but given the recent production of guys like Jeremy Boltus and Garret Thul it has become less of an issue. Kiernan has been described as "mean and tough" by nearly every coach that brought him up. Did you know that MLL coaches love mean and tough guys? Has that point been hammered home enough? Harris might go before Kiernan, but it won't be because of his ability.
Matt Harris, Syracuse (52GB, 29 CT) Does Syracuse fit into he ACC bias, yet? Is that a thing? Or do they just get love because they're Syracuse?
Sleeper: Steve Bogert, Penn State (80GB, 18 CT) A huge ground ball count always helps to get you noticed, but his performances against teams like Denver, Yale and Lehigh (13GB, 3CT combined) helped get him on some coaches' boards. Those same coaches love how Tambroni runs his team and how he develops talent.
Joe Fletcher, Loyola (64GB, 17CT) Never have I heard the term "awkward, but effective" used to describe a player more than I heard it this week from coaches talking about Fletcher. "He looks weird" and "He just looks strange out there sometimes" were close behind. So how does a player with such foppishness become the top defensive prospect in the draft? A coach once told me that if a coach throws a suspicious amount of shade (I'm paraphrasing) on a player that they're trying to throw you off the scent because they secretly like them. Only one coach flat out told me he wanted Fletcher without any backhanded compliments. It makes me think that everyone is just a little bit interested. The fact that he is a left-handed defenseman that is used to covering the opposing team's best player is just the ice cream in the sandwich.
Scott McWilliams, Virginia (48GB, 36CT) One of the better takeaway defensemen in the draft, McWilliams certainly has the size (6-foot-4') to play in MLL. There are some questions over his foot speed and whether or not he's a product of the UVa system, but those concerns are minimal. If the rest of this group is made up of tiger and hammerhead sharks, McWilliams and Duprey are the great whites. They just take big bites out of you and watch you die before they eat you. McWilliams may not be all that fast, but does he's not being drafted to be the No. 1 defenseman, he's being drafted to keep offenses honest and protect the perimeter.
Mike Ehrhardt, Maryland (53GB, 15CT) Eherhardt has been somewhat lost in the shuffle. A number of teams had him high on their boards but no one had anything very exciting to say about him which means one of two things: 1.He's so good that they don't want to talk about him 2.He's just another vanilla ice cream cone defenseman. I think he could be both. Look, you don't have to be flashy to make it in the MLL. The one thing you have to be is consistent, and I think Ehrhardt has shown that is he's anything it's that he's steady. I hear that wins you races; maybe it will win you some games, too.
Henry Lobb, Duke (22GB, 7CT) The largest head of the Duke defensive Hydra, Lobb has a reputation as a cerebral defenseman that is reflected in his modest numbers. e doesn't take a lot of chances, but he doesn't have to. There is something to be said for steering the catamaran, especially when it docks in into Championship Bay.
Jackson Place, Bucknell (43GB, 30CT) Place is the best defenseman on one of the more successful defenses in the nation. The Bison finished 11th in the nation goals against, with 8.44 per game. What's more, they did so against a stronger schedule than you may think, playing the likes of Penn State, Albany and Cornell; beating the latter two teams 9-8 and 18-12 respectively. Place was vicious in both games, collecting 11 groundballs and harassing each team's top player. Bucknell doesn't have a tradition of producing MLL talent — many have been drafted, but few have lasted more than a game or two. Place might be the one to buck that trend.
Joe Meurer, Ohio State (35GB, 18CT) Lots of coaches had him higher than Lobb, but after personally watching Ohio State play several times last year I was not impressed with their defensive efforts as a unit. Meurer doesn't stick out as a top defenseman for me, but he could have just seen a few hiccups in what was a successful overall season.
D Chris Hipps, Duke (32GB, 14CT) Statistically more prolific than his Blue Devil counterparts, Hipps doesn't have Duprey's venom or Lobb's vociferousness, but he is vital to the success of the Durham defense.
Sleeper: D Bobby Lawrence, Colgate (62GB, 33CT) Okay, so I was the one convincing coaches that Lawrence is an MLL-caliber guy, but I saw him dominate two years ago against an undefeated UMass team, and I've been a fan ever since. Low pick, high value.
Austin Kaut, Penn State (61%s, 7.37GAA) Maybe the most exciting goalie prospect to come out of the NCAA ranks since Jordan Burke, Austin Kaut has been humiliating NCAA attackmen for some time. He held Bucknell to three goals last year, one game after he held Saint Joe's to 2. That's a GAA of 2.5 in two games. Only Towson, Denver and Lehigh scored more than 10 goals on him all year. Can he make the jump from orange bars and white balls to yellow bars and orange balls right away? robably not, but there are a few teams that want to see if he can.
G Niko Amato, Maryland (59.4%v, 7.98GAA) Ever the jester in net Amato could be the next clown prince of crime, robbing unsuspecting all-world attackmen of their stats in MLL. Or he could be a back-up. Or he could sit on Chesapeake's roster for two years and then wander into Ohio. The magic 8-ball suggests many things about Amato's final destination, but the only thing that is clear is that he is the second best goalie in this draft behind Austin Kaut.
Jack Runkel, Loyola (53.6%, 8.75GAA) Maybe not as hot now as he was when Loyola raised the NCAA trophy a couple of years ago, but still in the conversation for some teams. He's definitely not the prototypical MLL goalie, but he has a pedigree to him that cannot be ignored.
Sleeper: G Brian Feeney, Penn (58.9%, 7.29GAA) Feeney finished 2013 ranked second in the nation in goals against average. Penn is very successful defensive team (They topped the nation in total defense, allowing the fewest goals per game) and Feeney is a big part of that, but I don't know if MLL teams are giving him the lion's share of the credit.

I'm about holiday at the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Thought you'd like this: the Park Service has shut the Wright Brothers Memorial. I took pictures from my iPhone this morning.
The vehicles parked out inside front are not Park Service cars; they are folks that hopped the barrier. The destination looks deserted. If you have ever been there, there is an interior visitors center however, the rest of the park is broad open. Looks like the center of the barrier is held together with zip-ties!
As an apart, I was there inside 2003 for the 100th anniversary of flight. George Bush was there plus gave a very advantageous speech. Next a big crowd of you (at smallest 100) moved to the initially flight pillar (where the initial flight supposedly stopped).
A other with a observe along with a amazing sense of timing gathered you around at the appropriate time all of us chanted from 1 to 10, signifying the 10 seconds which Orville flew which first-time. As you hit 10 you heard a sound plus looked up — it was an Air Force B-2 flying over at which precise time. So I think the timing was advantageous!
They moreover tried the re-creation of the flight with all the replica Flyer which morning yet it didn't function — demonstrated simply difficult it was plus what an achievement it was for the siblings.
You will credit me; I'm not scared of the NPS.

Description: "Yes, I know what the theory says, but what do I do with that client?" That is a question Dr. Wayne Perry often hears as he works with beginning counselors or therapists. It is the question Basic Counseling Techniques seeks to answer. Born out of Dr. Perry's more than twenty-years' experience training marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, and pastoral counselors, this book skips the theory and goes right for the practical application. Students in counseling or therapy training programs will find Basic Counseling Techniques an essential part of their studies. This textbook beings by providing practical suggestions for setting up the therapy room, using audio-visual recording equipment, and conducting those first critical interviews. Nine chapters provide the basic steps to actually applying nine different sets of clinical tools, and guidelines for selecting the appropriate tool for the appropriate clinical situation. This second edition also includes an entire chapter on the clinical thinking process, which can help beginning therapists sort through the myriad of options and select the "right" therapy for a particular client. That makes this textbook unique in the field. Each of the chapters concludes with a "Living Into the Lesson" section to give the reader experiential exercises to apply that chapter's skills.

The Bowery Hotel offers a rare mix of hip hotel and welcoming staff. We spent a night at the Bowery close to home on a staycation in NYC, so we know NYC, its hotels and bars and restaurants quite well, and there was nothing about the Bowery Hotel that didn't exceed our expectations. The desk staff, room service and bellmen were all friendly and welcoming. We had a very large suite with a very large deep bathtub. This is the first hotel I've stayed at where the iHome dock has a built in lightning connector, which showed a surprising attention to detail. It was too cold to go out so we ate at Gemma, the in-house restaurant which hasn't always received the best reviews, and we were pleasantly surprised at the friendly service and very good food. The location is great for access to great restaurants and bars and boutiques without lots of tourists and crowds.

Radio Ga Ga
n this edition of the UK Singles Jukebox: Brian McFadden, Shystie, REM, Fatboy Slim and 3 of a Kind rankle our five loyal reviewers.
Brian McFadden
Real To Me
Peter Parrish: Showbiz world in being hollow, empty and fake shocker! Good job Brian was there with his arpeggios to let me know the truth before I embarked upon my star-studded trip to the top. Now I know to choose one of the oh-so-many vocations where money and power happily share prominence with basic levels of morality. Bless you Mr. McFadden, bless you.
Dave McGonigle: Gasp! A pop star who 'tells it like it is', letting us know that his life of champagne and airports is actually not all that, and instead an afternoon of watching 'his babies run' and 'football on TV' is actually preferable. I hope this indicates that this will be the last single from our Brian, and I will never have to listen to his offensively self-pitying mewling ever again.
Dom Passantino: In tribute to the late Brian Clough, one can only say to McFadden "You won't get into my charts without a shave". Worst number one single of the year yet. Can everyone except Courtney please stop doing meta-pop singles? Didn't pop stars used to be happy? That H looked like a cheerful chap, what's he up to nowadays?
Barima Nyantekyi: Purportedly a different sound from Westlife (Brian's own words), this is little more than "Hey Whatever" part 2, but with the "indie realness" factors of Brian's personal life laid bare for all to be bored, his new dirty blond locks and facial hair (icky) and his weight loss (there go my Meatloaf accusations). He ends up sounding utterly unconvincing in carrying off this turtle-slow (and that's not fair on them) guitar dirge and the interest in your personal life, Bri? That only happens when you split with the missus—oh wait. Is there something karmic in the promotion of this reality-TV-as-song crap costing Brian his marriage? I dunno, but keep on enjoying the English tea, dude.
Colin Cooper: "I grew a beard because that makes me a rock star."
"I play guitar because that makes me a musician."
"I sing in a husky voice because that makes me Bryan Adams."
Authenticity, thy name is Brian McFadden.
3 of a Kind
Baby Cakes
Peter Parrish: Always good to see home economics back on the musical agenda. I refuse to call it 'food technology' unless there are robotic space-menaces crudely constructed from whisks and knives involved. Mix 200g of annoying wank with 150g of self-harm inducing awfulness, bake for about three minutes longer than you should and voila!
Dave McGonigle: A strange beast, this one; a gaunt garage track that wears its emaciation proudly, a product of the bedroom, rather than the dancefloor. On the surface it's throwaway bubblegum 2-step, yet underneath the jolly rhythms and giggling intro I sense a current of unease that acts to undermine the simple lyrics. And they knocked Busted off the top of the charts, too, so society owes them a great debt.
Dom Passantino: Deliberately retro style recordings whilst the genre you're tributing hasn't totally died out yet? 2-step is the new grunge. This makes 3 Of A Kind the British Puddle of Mudd.
Barima Nyantekyi: It's sad that the commercial prospects of two-step dwindled so quickly so as to have it return to the top of the pops in cheesy kidlike form, and this is no "Sweet Like Chocolate" to boot. It does have its own merits, riding on a crest of subdued bounce, muted music box melodies and vocal restraint—in other words, a tune aiming to be less annoying than its basic description would suggest.
Colin Cooper: The X Files. Those toy guns that make funny noises. Some really cool, skeletal beats, human beat-boxing. "Babycakes" starts off UK garage, and as such isn't all that appealing/relevant, and is impossible to hear without that video coming to mind. In the lyrics, we hear the first signs of relationship dissatisfaction in the drink-your-weight-in-WKD set. You know, the ones who spend every Thursday and Saturday at your local Superclub getting all wankered, like. "Babycakes" is the musical equivalent of disposing of used contraception.
Fatboy Slim
Slash Dot Dash
Peter Parrish: -.- .. -. -.. .-.. -.-- / ..-. ..- -.-. -.- / --- ..-. ..-. / -. --- .-- --..-- / - .- .-.-.-
Dave McGonigle: He's come a long way, Baby—but this is hardly a rebirth. Sounding worryingly like a misspent afternoon recording session borne of ProTools n' Cider, this is a regression of the most terrifying form; like watching someone you love slowly slip into the cloying grasp of senile dementia, forgetting their greatness to live in ill-remembered pockets of the past.
Dom Passantino: www.sshhh.com. I think Austin Powers references kind of fit in with Fatboy's frame of reference. I hear his next single features Billie Myers and Pierluigi Casaraghi.
Barima Nyantekyi: Doing what he's relied on to do, as ever. Like a more manically intense "Weapon Of Choice", his last big single (and video), "Slash-Dot-Dash" is like an exercise in sonic gibberish, with stop-starts, a monomaniacal vocalist and sampled bridges that have nothing to do with the rest of the song, though nice diversions nonetheless. It's all very instant and danceable, and Norm is content not to push things forward. But in a way, his music never ages anyway due to his mandate to bring on the fun/shake your ass. There's an undeniable suspicion here that he can't keep that up forever though—"Slash Dot Dash" will wear out its welcome sooner or later, but for now, there's nothing wrong with losing yourself in it for a while.
Colin Cooper: /.-./.-./.-./.com /.-./.-./.-./.com.com.com….com /.-./.-./.-./.com /.-./.-.com.com.com /.-./.-./.-./.com /.-./.-.com.com….com - then really funky, punchy guitars, reminiscent of the Franz Ferdinand singles on heavy rotation alongside Norman's latest offering. More interweb gibberish, more of those staccato guitar rhythms, then what sounds like the backing vocal lines from some old Northern Soul record or other, then round again. This is fantastic fun, something that 3 Of A Kind aren't quite so convincing with, and something that everybody else seems to have forgotten ever existed. Did I mention this is really funky? I did? Good.
Leaving New York
Peter Parrish: Frustratingly, I can't dredge up precisely which previous REM song this reminds me of. Possibly just some kind of freakish, boggle-eyed amalgamation of everything on Automatic For The People. More disturbingly, Stipeypoos has finally reduced his level of unintelligibly nonsensical/clever lyrics to zero; perhaps as part of some kind of mysterious Weight Watchers plan, but for enigmatic songwriters. There's an entertaining doubled-up vocal section, but otherwise it's sedate, piano-tickled averageness.
Dave McGonigle: I'm in two minds about this single. On one hand, it offers absolutely nothing new from the middle-age threesome, feeling almost like the kind of caricature that a talented satirist like Chris Morris might create in his spare time (who could forget his fake REM whaling song) On the other hand, it offers absolutely nothing new from the group. We'll see how the new album sounds; hopefully, less like the sound of treading water than this track.
Dom Passantino: I thought "Bad Day" signified a return to form? Like watching a boxer that's had one fight too many. REM Jones Jr?
Barima Nyantekyi: REM trademarked their own brand of introspective downbeat balladeering time ago. "Leaving New York" earns the adjective "pleasant" at least five times over, as well as the sobriquet "Sting". It's also the sort of song Smallville and The O.C. would be only too happy to use the next time Clark and Lana/Ryan and Marissa have one of their funny little turns. It has the right intentions, but the end result is too pedestrian, too studied. The emotional core is either missing or greatly suppressed and Sti(ng)pe sounds a little too detached to keep things convincingly weary. They're still excellent players for what it's worth—the piano and guitar are wonderful; the brief middle-8 is classy—and the "I love you forever"s are ten times more resonant than a certain Bedingfield's, but otherwise, all I really hear is Jerry Maguire begging the band to "play from the heart".
Colin Cooper: R.E.M. have found a new, passive audience in 40-somethings who hum their tunes on the way to work without actually knowing they recorded one of the most acclaimed albums ever. It seems the band are once again playing to that crowd with "Laving New York", although in many ways, the band perfected this formula on Reveal. I wouldn't really mind, 'cos the harmonies are great and the melody nice enough, but where exactly does this fit into their much-touted "angry" "political" songwriting stance? Has simply name-checking New York become sufficient controversial currency post-9/11?
Make It Easy
Peter Parrish: Modern day Shakespearean tragedy. He was a bookworm student studying for his masters! She was some kind of nutzoid gangsteress! She wanted more than friendship! He didn't ... but then ... he did! She said he's blown his chance and should get back to studying! All it's missing is identical twins dressed up as their opposite gender.
Dave McGonigle: Music to make you believe that heartfelt romanticism isn't dead. Look beyond the mockernee lyrics, the teenage gaucheness, and this state-of-the-art example of London life will catch your throat with its honesty. If "Dry Your Eyes" stopped trying and just was, it would be this song. I quite like it, by the way.
Dom Passantino: We have Est'elle now, and she actually sells records. Please go away.
Barima Nyantekyi: Sooner or later, it seems like every rapper uncovers their easy listening side, and Shystie certainly gives it some here. She's all out to let a persistent guy know it ain't gonna happen—but in a nice way, of course ("You're just dazed and confused"). Of course, she won't actually let on the real reasons why she won't get with him; there are countless men over the centuries, who've been rejected with reasons like "It wouldn't work", "I ain't right for you" and "Your true soulmate is just round the corner", but I guess every romantic cliche gets incorporated into rhyme as days go by. The backing holds no surprises, being a bed for Shystie's rapping, but it's less schmaltzy than the idea implies, though the backing singers have a touch of mild beery embarassment about them.
Colin Cooper: Yeah, sample "Make It Easy On Yourself" for a really bad song—that's original. Hilariously, the chorus features those kids you hear at school who think they can sing because they waver between every couple of notes during every syllable and weld "yeah" on to every line. Shystie seems to be riding on the particularly repugnant wave of council-estate-chic here in the UK, and this is the second single of hers' we've reviewed on Singles Jukebox. Definitely the first time I felt that Stylus Magazine might actually be trying to raise my blood pressure.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to retreat with some of my friends at our annual Gruber's retreat. I believe that this was year 8! I'm so thankful for good friends from all over the country who were brought together through the internet and our common love of quilting! We have expanded our retreat to a 5 day stretch--what a treat that is! It still goes too fast. :)
My main project for this retreat, other than my pincushion a day (of course!), was to work on this quilt! I opened up a much loved (and hoarded) layer cake of Marmalade fabric by Bonnie and Camille. This stuff has been aging nicely in the stash, but it was finally time to use it. It hurt a little bit to pull the ribbon off, but I'm so glad I did. It was high time!!!! This fabric is sooooo pretty!here.....it's my cartwheels quilt from the Moda bake shop. I enjoyed sewing up these blocks!
I'd be curious to know what your most precious, hoarded fabric is in your stash. What is holding you back from using it? (No judgement here....I'm sure I will be able to relate!)
Hope your week is off to a great start!

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 10, Week 6: 'You're an Enthusiastic Eater'
In week six, the "Dancing with the Stars" contestants battled it out on stage using foot and hand coordination for the Argentine tango or the sexy samba. It was a night of food jokes and other zingers as the remaining contestants fought for the right to dance. After losing former competitor Kate Gosselin, the dance competition was down to seven and at the half-way point inching closer to the end.
To start, Jake Pavelka tackled the samba taking some criticism for lacking rhythm during his performance. Jake was praised for his potential but criticized for his inability to flow. With the latter being the most important part of a dance competition, we're not sure why the former "Bachelor" star didn't get a much lower score. The star received a 21 out of 30 for his performance, which undoubtedly demonstrated his comfort on the stage but not his proficiency with the dance.
Meanwhile, his competitor Evan Lysacek took to the samba like a fish in water despite a back flipping head injury while rehearsing with partner Anna Trebunskaya. A slight concussion couldn't stop the Olympian's mastery of the sexy, hip-swiveling moves — even if the judges don't agree with us viewers at home. "It's all very beautiful but not appropriate for this," said judge Bruno. When you get criticism for being "far too poetic" in your dance moves, keep those tear ducts dry and smile. You did good! The judges gave Evan an identical score as Jake with 21 out 30 points — his lowest score — because it seems the expectations are higher for the more graceful dancer.

Matrix is sentient artificial life-form; it is Dingo's partner.
Matrix began as a nano-robotic computer program created by Fox and Anastasia Renard in a remote part of Australia. When it gained sentience, it began to reform the world in a more "orderly" manner, an event Fox and Anastasia Renard called the "Grey Goo Scenario." Fox, Dingo, Anastasia, and the Avalon Travelers waged battle against the Matrix with the help of Dingo's Shaman mentor, finally convincing it to uphold law and order.[1]
After battling the Tasmanian Tiger in Sydney, Australia, Matrix and Dingo were recruited into the Redemption Squad. Robyn appealed to the Matrix' sense of order, and threatened a permanent E.M. dissolution for Matrix, and prison time for Dingo, should they have not joined her.[2]
While taking down Dr. Anton Sevarius, Matrix managed to contain a mutagenic virus that would have infected the crowds gathered at Times Square for the New Year celebrations.[3] When on the helicopter, Redemption, Matrix and his squad-mates were fired upon by their target's missiles.[4] The helicopter was destroyed, but Matrix saved his squad-mates by forming a protective bubble around them.[5]

B'Tselem: 83 Palestinians, Israeli Arabs Killed in Gaza, West Bank Since Cast Lead
Of the dead, 31 did not participate in hostilities, nine were killed by Palestinian security forces and two were executed for allegedly collaborating with Israel, the report said.
Eighty-three Palestinians and seven Israeli Arabs have been killed in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since Operation Cast Lead in the winter of 2008-2009, according to the annual report of the B'Tselem human rights group, which was released Sunday.
Of the dead, 31 did not participate in hostilities, nine were killed by Palestinian security forces and two were executed for allegedly collaborating with Israel, the report said. Two-thirds of those killed lived in the Gaza Strip.
The report also said there has been a drop in the number of administrative detentions in the past year, from 229 in late March 2009 to 222 in April. However, B'Tselem said Israel continues to allow its security forces and civilians to harm Palestinians or damage their property without being penalized.
"The policy according to which security personnel suspected of harming Palestinians are not held accountable for their actions, except in unusual circumstances, remains unchanged," the report said. "Israeli citizens who harmed Palestinians or damaged their property have, in general, not borne the consequences for their actions. Even though Israel has declared a freeze on settlement construction, the settlement enterprise continues to undermine the human rights of Palestinians."
The report also states that since January 2009, four more kilometers of the separation fence have been built, bringing the total length to 412 kilometers. There are 39 roadblocks along the fence, 19 of which are used for security checks of those wishing to enter Israel.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, the number of manned checkpoints went down from 63 to 44, 18 of them in Hebron.
During the 16-month period the report covers, the Civil Administration Authority razed 44 illegal structures built by Palestinians, most in the Jordan Valley, the report found.
"These days we are marking 43 years to the seventh day of the Six-Day War, which was also the first day of Israel's occupation in the territories," said Jessica Montell, executive director of B'Tselem. "So long as Israel rules over millions of Palestinians, it is obligated to safeguard their rights. The ongoing occupation holds clear dangers to Israeli democracy and as such, we as Israelis have the duty to demand accountability for what is being done in our names in the territories and a change in the policy that harms human rights."

It's sink-or- swim time for the Sydney Kings.
The purple and gold have six games left and must win them all to have even a sliver of a chance of making the finals. Injuries have inopportunely wiped out their superstar import Josh Childress and powerful big man Angus Brandt.
At the team's helm, is coach Damian Cotter. In his first season as a head coach in the National Basketball League he has overseen some successes: the recruiting of NBA veteran Josh Childress, the defeat of the top three teams at the Kingdome and the end of 16 straight losses to the Perth Wildcats.
But there have also been some low points: a roster plagued by a string of injuries, a lengthy losing streak and a failure to win more than two games in a row.
Cotter, who was promoted from assistant coach to the position, said the season had been a steep learning curve.
"To get the opportunity to work with such good players is fun and I think I've been really fortunate," Cotter said.
"I think the blokes have been terrific to work with and I can't fault how supportive they have been. They have been very loyal to me and a coach can't ask much more than that."
Growing up in a working class suburb on the fringes of Melbourne, Cotter developed a love of basketball. This passion was perhaps heightened when a bout of glandular fever and an arthritic condition suddenly put a stop to his playing days as a teenager.
"I had a dozen operations, 10 below the knees before I was 21. I was told at the time it was lucky it didn't cripple me," Cotter said.
"I wanted to be a player. I think the best part of basketball is being able to play it, I've never forgotten that since I coached. Even though some of my blokes might think I have."
His health problems saw him move into coaching. Cotter's extensive resume now includes leading the Knox Raiders, the Australian junior team, and working as head coach at the NSW Institute of Sport. From Romania to Sri Lanka, he has run coaching clinics around the world.
Cotter is also the assistant coach for the Australian Opals women's team who are preparing for their 2016 Olympic campaign in Rio de Janeiro.
"I got involved with coaching because I loved the game. The game has given me a lot. I love the game and I love what it has given me," Cotter said.
In taking over as coach of the Kings, Cotter has been emphatic about one notion: he wanted his team to be "good blokes".
"For me, it's like any positive workplace. It was very important that we set up a culture of respect and hard work. We've had legitimate adversity, but the guys are just chipping away and I feel like we're really building a positive platform and from that we can have ongoing success."
Cotter said he felt no need to change his coaching style when it came to overseeing such a high-profile and experienced player as Childress.
"I think really good players want to be coached and treated the same and Josh has been like that," Cotter, who recently completed a Masters of Education (sports coaching) at the University of Sydney, said.
"Whether they are elite or just coming into it, the most important thing is you work it out so everybody has got their dignity and I think when you do that, players respect you. Josh [Childress] certainly fits into that. He's been good to coach. I feel like I haven't had to measure what I say or change anything I say to him and it's a positive reflection on him as much as anything."
While Cotter is disappointed that the Kings have slipped down the ladder to sixth place over the past six weeks, he is proud of how his relatively young team has held up in the face of adversity.
"They've had a bit of rotten luck with the timing of injuries and the significance of it. We've trained hard this week. We know we're going into a challenging situation and we're going to give it a crack."
The challenging situation is an away game against the third-placed Wildcats on Sunday afternoon. The Kings have lost two of their three games to the Wildcats this season.
It's unlikely they will be able to replace Childress. Under NBL rules, a new player cannot be signed if a team has played equal to or more than 75 per cent of their games, unless there are "extenuating circumstances". The game in which Childress was injured was the club's cut-off to bring new blood to the team.
Their last-minute signing Nick Horvath, who played three games with the side before returning to his teaching job in New Zealand, is also unlikely to make a return due to a knee injury.
But to this Cotter repeats what has almost become his catchphrase: "There's no point crying into your soup".

The location is a bit rough, but close to the venue at Hodel's where we conducted business. Areas needing improvement include the shower head, which delivered a rather anemic stream of water. The ironing board, which was a nice amenity to have available in the room, could have used a better fitting cover. (The foam pad stuck out on one side and made it difficult to iron properly.) Also, one evening when we returned to our room after a long day, it had not been cleaned. I'm sure there must have been some miscommunication, because the room was nicely cleaned for the other four days of our stay. Business associates recommended nearby Hodel's and Milt's for meals.
