Sheriff Doug Gillespie is no stranger to the Clark County Commission chambers.
He has sat through public hearing after public hearing, listening to residents lambaste the department or demand an audit. He has made repeated requests for commissioners to approve a sales tax increase to pay for police officers.
He's also seen county commissioners delay and then reject those proposals.
On Tuesday, he might find out if the efforts will pay off.
Gillespie, who said Friday he's "not making any predictions" about what the commission will decide, has been the public face pushing the sales tax increase to bolster police ranks since he lobbied the Legislature in Carson City in 2013.
If passed, the tax would raise the 8.1 percent sales tax rate in Clark County to 8.25 percent in two steps by October 2015.
But he's not the only one waiting to see if the county will be able to hire police officers. Smaller police departments in the cities of North Las Vegas, Henderson, Mesquite and Boulder City are also watching closely. The sales tax would boost their ranks, too.
For the municipal police departments outside the Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction — the city of Las Vegas and unincorporated areas of the county — a tax hike would bring a total of about 60 to 70 additional officers.
Metro, the largest agency in the county, would get 101 more officers under the proposal. That makes the potential total as high as roughly 171 more officers for police departments across the entire county.
Gillespie is pitching the issue as one of maintaining the status quo or moving forward with adding officers.
Without any changes, with a gap between revenues and expenditures, the Las Vegas police force will drop from 2,483 authorized officers to just 1,871.
The 262-officer North Las Vegas Police Department hasn't hired a new cop since 2009.
Each phase of the sales tax would mean another 10 to 15 police officers, totaling an estimated 20 to 30.
Police Chief Joseph Chronister said the potential change would mean more officers on the street to aid the public and boost a stretched force that once numbered about 330 before the recession hit.
"Right now, our officers are working on pretty much a call-to-call basis or a reactive basis," he said.
He added that having more police in neighborhoods would be a deterrent to crime, helping the department do community policing and shift away from only responding to incidents.
"It's equal in significance to all, but I think sometimes that the smaller cities get kind of lost in the translation of things and the focus is strictly on Las Vegas," Chronister said.
The officers wouldn't come immediately.
Between hiring, academy and field training, it takes about 18 months for an officer to be fully prepared and equipped.
Chronister also noted that the public perception that the proposal is only a Las Vegas police issue doesn't reflect the sheriff's view of the issue.
Gillespie said he keeps in regular contact with other departments about the tax proposal, noting need officers, too.
For the Mesquite Police Department, the 28-officer department eventually would be able to add two more officers, Chief Troy Tanner said.
He said that having more officers for Metro ultimately helps Mesquite, making more resources available when the department needs assistance from Las Vegas for large-scale incidents that require processing major crime scenes.
In 2008, the department had 31 officers.
The proposal also would get another couple of officers for the Boulder City Police Department, which has 30 officers.
But like his Mesquite counterpart, Police Chief Bill Conger said it's important to look at the scale of the department — not just the number.
For Boulder City, it would allow increased night and weekend patrols, he said.
"What you have to understand is two officers to us is a lot," Conger said. "More Cops helps us and the smaller agencies. It really helps us because two policemen to us is a good number."
For the Henderson Police Department, the sales tax increase would mean 38 more officers for the 327-officer force.
"The More Cops initiative will allow the Henderson Police Department to put more officers on the street, ensuring our response times remain low," Henderson Police Chief Patrick Moers said in a statement.
"Henderson has been named one of the safest cities in the country by Forbes, Business Insider and Law Street Review, and maintaining that high level of service to our residents is our primary objective."
If commissioners approve the proposal, the 8.1 percent sales tax rate would eventually increase to 8.25 percent. But that wouldn't all come at once.
It would begin with a 0.075 percentage-point increase that starts on Oct. 1.
There's a condition for the increase to kick in. Metro's joint city-county oversight board, the Metropolitan Police Committee on Fiscal Affairs, would have to adopt a budget for next fiscal year, which starts in July, that will draw down on funds in the existing More Cops account, bringing that fund to $100 million or less.
For the second half of the tax increase to start in October 2015, Metro's budget would need to spend down the balance of the More Cops account to $75 million or less.
That More Cops account holds about $140 million. It contains money from a quarter-cent sales tax that started in 2005 to hire more police officers in the county. The tax is due to sunset in 2025.
Gillespie developed the proposal as a way to address commissioners' concerns that the tax would essentially patch a $30 million shortfall at the same time the existing More Cops account contains more than $100 million.
County voters in 2004 approved an advisory referendum for a half-cent increase in the sales tax to pay for more officers. The Legislature approved half that amount in 2005, and in 2013, authorized the County Commission to increase the sales tax by up to 0.15 percentage points to pay for more officers.

Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows for the 2010-11 season (includes results through October 4, 2009):
- Likely To Be Canceled By May, 2010
- Some Danger Of Being Canceled By May, 2010
- Likely to Be Renewed For The 2010-11 Season
Program | Renew/ Cancel Index |
Numb3rs (F) | 0.57 |
Three Rivers | 0.63 |
Medium (F) | 0.67 |
Ghost Whisperer (F), (S) | 0.67 |
New Adventures of Old Christine (S) | 0.68 |
Cold Case | 0.72 |
Gary Unmarried | 0.75 |
The Good Wife | 1.05 |
Accidentally On Purpose (p) | 1.07 |
How I Met Your Mother (S) | 1.20 |
The Mentalist | 1.23 |
Criminal Minds | 1.37 |
CSI: Miami | 1.40 |
NCIS: Los Angeles | 1.42 |
Two And A Half Men | 1.55 |
Big Bang Theory | 1.67 |
The premiere ratings for Three Rivers registered a flatline with viewers, and it's now the most likely CBS show to be canceled prior to the end of the season. Based on recent CBS history with underperforming dramas, cancellation prior to November seems quite possible.
Cold Case improved a bit from last week, but is still in significant danger of being canceled before the end of the season. New Adventures of Old Christine and Gary Unmarried are low once again, but what's new? If CBS is determined to weather their terrible ratings to establish another night of comedy they may be fine for another renewal.
In response to some comments about color blindness and problems with the colors in the list, the shows in red (the greatest danger) are now also bolded. Does that help?
This is a breakdown of CBS scripted shows and their renewal and cancellation prospects. Here are links to the other networks:
The Renew/Cancel Index is a show's Season To Date adults 18-49 rating divided by its network's Season to Date average 18-49 rating. If a show's season to date 18-49 ratings average equalled its network's 18-49 average, the show would have an Index of 1.00. Without special factors, scripted shows that were more than 10% below their network's average are typically canceled by the end of the broadcast primetime season.
Factors that could cause a show to be renewed with well below average index:
- (F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Friday's have been renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
- (S) – Syndication: Shows nearing syndication (66-88 episodes), often have economic factors that trump ratings leading to renewal.
- (T) – Third Party: Shows that have a portion of their cost underwritten by a 3rd party can be renewed with substantially lower ratings.
Factors that could cause a show to be cancelled with an above average index:
- (p) – Plum timeslot: Shows in plum time slots with average or slightly above average ratings have been cancelled.

The above was the follow-up tweet from MSNBC.com national reporter Irin Carmon in reference to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issuing a temporary stay blocking the Obamacare contraception mandate.
Carmon had previously expressed deeper disappointment in Sotomayor's decision worthy of Caesar, but saw fit to delete it:
The tweet shouldn't have been deleted. It's not as if everybody doesn't already know which direction MSNBC "reporters" lean, and it's not "forward."

Max's washi tape picture frame project has had me hunting down cute tapes online for months now. Our office walls are awfully white, so I've been dreaming up fun ways to replicate the patterns he used in larger-scale ways. During my searching, I landed on INKKIT's Etsy page. The shop is chock-full of sparkly, glittery, shimmery accessories that would be perfect for all sorts of office projects, including some gold washi tape that's definitely going in my cart. I'm eying the paint-dipped pencils, too. It seems like a good time of year to invest in some cute things that encourage me to stay a little longer at work and get creative. Click here to check out and shop the full collection on Etsy. xo, grace
These are so lovely! Thank you for sharing (and making my wishlist longer)! :)
so cute! i have added them to my list of favorite sellers for when i finally have space in our apartment for a desk of my own :)
Lovely. You could make a fantastic inspiration wall out of those things. When I was a student I used to bluetack interesting fliers/bar match boxes/newspaper clippings/stuff onto my wardrobe door and got quite an amazing pattern going. Is 28 too old to do the same thing again?
added to my favorites! thanks for sharing. I especially love the dipped pencils.
Ooh, I just ordered a bunch of stuff from this shop a couple weeks ago. Glittery seals for envelopes and ropes of sequin ribbon for special little packages. It's all so lovely! Now I'm wondering why I didn't grab one of those gorgeous little pencils. Ah, regret…
glitter / glamour / yeah! all so lovely – especially the pencils. thanks for sharing!
Such beautiful pencils !!!
This simple blend makes a go-to polish that is ready in about a minute flat. Don't use your best olive oil for this, as you won't be ingesting it and benefitting from its healthy properties. I highly recommend performing a spot test before use.

ABC News/Washington Post Poll #1, April 2006 (ICPSR 4659)
Principal Investigator(s): ABC News; The Washington Post
This poll, conducted April 6-9, 2006, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the current presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. A national sample of 1,229 adults was surveyed, including an oversample of 27 Black respondents and 202 respondents aged 65 and older. Part 1 contains data on non-oversample respondents and Black oversample respondents, while Part 2 contains information asked only of respondents aged 65 and older, including the aged 65 and older oversample. Respondents were queried on whether they approved of the way President George W. Bush was handling the presidency, and issues such as the economy and the campaign against terrorism. Respondents were also asked whether they approved of the way the United States Congress and their own representatives were handling their jobs, whether they would vote for a Democratic or Republican candidate in the upcoming United States House of Representatives election, the importance of issues such as health care in their voting choice, and which party they trusted to handle the main problems the nation would face over the next few years. Views were also sought on the war in Iraq, whether United States military forces in Iraq should be withdrawn, and whether Iraq was currently in a state of civil war. A series of questions asked how much respondents knew about the new Medicare prescription drug program, whether they approved of it, and who was responsible for its creation. Respondents aged 65 and older were asked whether they took prescription drugs, whether they had signed up for the new Medicare prescription drug program, whether it saved them money, and whether the enrollment deadline should be extended. Other topics addressed the recent increase in gasoline prices, illegal immigration, government waste, a new Massachusetts law requiring all residents to have health insurance, and whether Congress should officially reprimand or impeach President Bush for authorizing wiretaps on suspected terrorists without court approval. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, household income, marital status, education level, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status, religious preference, whether respondents considered themselves born-again or evangelical Christians, and whether they and their parents were born in the United States.

(1) The data available for download are not weighted and users will need to weight the data prior to analysis. (2) Original reports using these data may be found via the ABC News Polling Unit Web site and Washington Post Opinion Surveys and Polls Web site. (3) This poll includes an oversample of 27 Black respondents and 202 respondents aged 65 and older, as identified in the SAMPTYPE variable. Black respondents were asked all questions, whereas respondents in the aged 65 and older oversample were limited to demographic questions and questions corresponding to variables Q22 through Q37. The data collection instrument also indicates which questions were asked of oversample respondents. (4) Respondents aged 65 and older in part 1 also appear in part 2 and can be matched using the RESPNO variable. (5) System-missing values were recoded to -1. (6) The FIPS and ZIP variables were recoded for confidentiality. (7) According to the data collection instrument, code 3 in the variable Q909 also included respondents who answered that they had attended a technical school. (8) The variables PCTBLACK, PCTASIAN, PCTHISP, CONGDIST, and BLOCKCNT were converted from character variables to numeric. (9) Several codes in the variable CBSA contain diacritical marks. (10) Value labels for unknown/missing codes were added in the MSA, METRODIV, CSA, and SAMPTYPE variables. (11) The CASEID variable was created for use with online analysis.
Sample: Households were selected by random-digit dialing. Within households, the respondent selected was the adult living in the household who last had a birthday and who was home at the time of the interview. Black respondents and respondents aged 65 and older were oversampled.
Weight: The data contain weight variables that should be applied prior to performing any analysis. The weight variable WEIGHT should be used when analyzing the data in part 1, while the weight variable SENWGT should be applied when analyzing the data in part 2. The variable WEIGHT was derived using demographic information from the Census to adjust for sampling and nonsampling deviations from population values. Respondents customarily were classified into one of 48 cells based on age, race, sex, and education. Weights were assigned so the proportion in each of these 48 cells matched the actual population proportion according to the Census Bureau's most recent Current Population Survey. The weight variable SENWGT was derived using the sex, race and education of the aged 65 and older population.
Mode of Data Collection: telephone interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data.

Moldova EconomyMoldova's fertile soil supports wheat, corn, barley, vegetables, sugar beets, sunflowers, and tobacco, as well as extensive fruit orchards, vineyards, and walnut groves. Horticulture is important for the production of essences such as rose oil and lavender. Beef and dairy cattle are raised, and there is beekeeping and silkworm breeding. Industries include food processing, winemaking, and the manufacture of agricultural machinery, foundry equipment, major appliances, textiles, and footwear. Remittances from Moldovans working abroad are also important to the economy. After achieving independence, Moldova took steps toward converting to a market economy and launched an ambitious privatization program, but the country remains undeveloped industrially and ranks as one of the poorest nations of Europe. Exports include foodstuffs, textiles, and machinery. Moldova imports all of its oil, coal, and natural gas, as well as machinery, chemicals, and automobiles. The principal trading partners are Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. Sections in this article:

wikiHow to Stop Being an Overly Jealous Girlfriend and Start Being the Best Girlfriend
Three Parts:Feeling secureAssessing your relationship's stabilityToning down the jealousy and starting overCommunity Q&A
Do you find yourself getting nagging feelings of jealousy when your partner is talking to other girls? Do you worry that you're smothering the relationship with your fears? To stop being an overly-jealous girlfriend and start being a dream girl, follow these instructions.
Part 1
Feeling secure
1Learn to feel good about yourself. Most feelings of jealousy come from feeling insecure and thinking that someone else can make your partner happier or bring more to the table. Remember that your partner chose you, not anyone else. Stop obsessing over your weight, height, or looks; your constant negativity is draining… for you and your partner both. Worse yet, an overactive attitude of insecurity can drive people away, turning into a self-fulfilling prophecy that drives you deeper into the hole of fear and self-neglect. Accept yourself as you are. Your partner is with you for a reason and obviously finds you attractive, but even if he weren't and didn't, you should never let anyone else's opinion define or validate yours.
- Read How to Build Self Confidence for help in becoming a more centered, stable person.
2Deal with past hurts. Most people have them – and many let them spill over into new relationships by either re-enacting the same unhealthy dynamic over and over again or by looking at their wonderful new partners with a skeptical eye. If necessary, learn how to cope with emotional pain so that you can feel better about yourself and be able to see your current relationship for what it really is.
3Learn what it means to have a healthy relationship. Whether you're new to the game or have been at it for years, it's not always easy to know what a relationship is supposed to be and feel like. Many people don't grow up with good examples of healthy relationships among their friends, family, or even parents. What's worse, having one awful relationship can completely throw off your sense of balance and self-trust, making you second-guess your every move for years to follow. Read How to Have a Healthy Relationship for more details.
Part 2
Assessing your relationship's stability
1Reassess your current relationship. Once you've done some soul-searching and have a clearer perspective on things, it's time to look at your relationship with a fresh eye. Do your jealousy, doubt, and fear stem from your own issues with self-worth… or is that something you've been telling yourself to justify your partner's unsatisfactory behavior? Even if you haven't been as stable a girlfriend as you should be, that doesn't mean you should overlook or write off your partner's transgressions to over-correct for your own feelings of guilt; it's always possible that your out-of-control feelings were the result of trying to suppress your own gut instincts – or, at the very least, that you both have played a hand in making the relationship what it is today. Before taking the fall for your jealousy and instability, read any articles below that you think may apply to you. Only when you're sure where you and your partner truly stand can you begin the healing process.
Part 3
Toning down the jealousy and starting over
1Give your partner space. If you've been dogging his footsteps, confronting him with accusations, stalking his social media profiles, or exhibiting any other desperate behavior, your first order of business is to back off. Take a few deep breaths, detach, and play it cool for a while. Find opportunities to be with friends, go to an event you've been interested in, and turn him down for at least one get-together. Be very careful not to act vindictive about this; the point isn't to punish him, give him the cold shoulder, or manipulate him into begging for forgiveness, but to give the both of you a break so you can blow off a little steam, get some perspective, and hopefully save the relationship.
- Read How to Give Your Boyfriend Space for more advice.
2Breathe new life into the relationship. Before you can do any in-depth work on yourself or as a couple, you need to do damage control on your strained relationship. Start by striking a healthy balance between giving your partner space and increasing the quality of your time together. Pursue your own interests in a meaningful, enriching way: after all, part of what attracts people to one another is mystery, and if you spend all your time checking in on your partner with calls, texts, emails, and Facebook posts, there can hardly be any intrigue left in what you do. Split your time more evenly between your partner and your friends and allow your partner to do the same. Rediscover your interest in a former passion or, if necessary, find a new hobby that will make your non-romantic time more meaningful. Then, when you both have remembered what it's like to miss one another, improve your time together by going on a vacation or staycation, trying something new like taking a partner dance class, or lightening the mood by being playful and maintaining the romance.
3Build your communication. This is something the two of you need to work on together; many relationship woes could be cured, if not avoided altogether, if couples simply learned how to truly and effectively communicate with one another. A big part of communicating effectively is knowing how to broach an unpleasant topic without putting your partner on the defensive (or, worse yet, the offensive). Start by curbing your accusations: learn to state what you feel (ex. "I feel afraid when you stay out late and don't tell me where you are or how long you'll be there") instead of what you fear ("I'm worried you're cheating on me"), which can be come off like a slap in the face. Be honest about your thoughts and concerns while you're having them instead of stockpiling them for later and letting them explode one day out of the blue. Read How to Communicate Effectively for more guidance.
4Learn to trust. Trust issues can make you go crazy. Ask yourself who it is you really mistrust: your partner, your partner's friends… or yourself? Coming to the realization that you still don't trust yourself in love or that you're simply threatened by other girls is a good thing; both stem from the same issue, can be worked on, and are totally within your control. Learn how to trust your boyfriend again for his and your sake both.
- He didn't text you back? Big deal. Obsessing over things like this will only come across as annoying; if you are laid back and don't expect instantaneous replies to everything, etc, he will not get irritated. Don't call him to see if he's still there - take a deep breath and let it go. He will reply when he can.
- Don't ask him to stop going certain places. Part of jealousy is the desire to control others, and by giving him freedom, you show that you trust him and make him more likely to respect you.
- Don't write a blank check of trust. If you are genuinely concerned about something, do not be afraid to (gently) broach the topic. Mention that it makes you feel uncomfortable when he talks to certain girls, or tell him honestly about a behavior he has that bothers you. Don't overreact or make accusations. Simply state how you feel and, if he respects that, he will try to work it out.
- If your boyfriend simply isn't trustworthy, it's his turn to roll up his sleeves and match some of the hard work you've been putting into the relationship. If he can't or won't do it, dump him and start looking for someone who will.
5Be an awesome girlfriend. Okay, so you've managed to salvage the relationship and heal the damage that has been done. How do you step it up a notch? To become the girlfriend he fantasizes about coming home to, read How to Be a Good Girlfriend.
Community Q&A
My boyfriend and I have been having problems. I am jealous as he will not stop speaking to a girl who likes him. Our relationship is falling apart. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorDon't accept that behavior. Why would he feel the need to talk to her when he's got you? If he's simply doing it to not hurt her, tell him he's hurting you. Who is more important? Some random girl or his girlfriend?
How do I not become jealous when another girl gave my boyfriend better presents than I did for his birthday?wikiHow ContributorDon't feel bad. It's not the present that counts, it's the thought that counts. You can always give him a better one next time if you really feel that way. Think positive and see how your present is much more helpful to him than the other girl's presents.
How do I overcome my jealousy if I feel like he still has feelings for his ex?wikiHow ContributorRemind yourself that he chose you and work on trusting him. Share your feelings with him but do not accuse him of anything.
I am afraid to tell my boyfriend that I am jealous because he might think that I am being overly attached or something along those lines, but it hurts to see him with her all the time. What should I do?wikiHow ContributorYou should not be afraid to be open and honest with your boyfriend. If he is spending more time with another girl than he is with you, that's wrong, and it's right of you to feel bad about it. Just tell him how you feel, tell him that it's fine for him to have friends, but that if he prefers to spend time with someone other than you, it doesn't make much sense for him to be with you. If he doesn't try to be understanding or accuses you of anything, he's probably not worth it.
I can't stop asking my boyfriend whether he will leave me or not. He has said "no" so many times and I still ask him. He gets annoyed, but I can't stop. What do I do?You might want to look within. It sounds like you think there is a reason he should leave you. Learn how to love yourself so you can understand why he stays. If you build your confidence up and realize that you're worthy of love, you might find yourself repeating that question less and less.
How can I stop feeling jealous when my partner looks at other women (especially if the other woman is wearing a short skirt, is very attractive, etc)?wikiHow ContributorThere is nothing wrong with feeling jealous. Talk to your partner about this problem. Do not imply that he is cheating on you, as he may react defensively. Instead, tell him that you love him and trust him, but that you are not comfortable with him looking at other girls. He may not realize that he is doing this, or he may not realize that he is hurting you.
How can I learn to control the jealousy I feel when my boyfriend talks to other girls?wikiHow ContributorTry to tell yourself that while your boyfriend talks to other girls, he still loves you, and that you are his first priority. If this is really putting a strain on your relationship, tell your boyfriend that it bothers you when he talks to other girls and ask him if he could stop.
Why would someone want to make another person jealous?wikiHow ContributorTo try and get attention from that person. Maybe because that person isn't not giving you the attention that you want -- or because you're constantly craving attention and can't ever be satisfied. It is never a good idea to make someone jealous for attention. This will only cause more problems.
What can I do if my boyfriend's friend won't let him stop to talk to me in the hallways and he just lets him?wikiHow ContributorThis seems like they have some serious stuff to talk about. If your information is not too important, try to talk to him later on during the day. Go to your friends instead as well so you don't find yourself standing there in the middle of their conversation. Walk away so he will know that you were there and that you wanted to talk to him. Maybe he just didn't want to be rude to his friend and would rather catch up with you later. Don't over think about it, it's not worth a fight.
My girlfriend is very touchy and flirty with most people, which triggers my jealousy. Will establishing boundaries make me come across as controlling and insecure?wikiHow ContributorCommunication and setting boundaries are key in a relationship. She might act defensive at first, but setting boundaries will help you with your feelings and hers. It is also possible that she is not aware that she is doing it. Letting your feelings be known will be a good step in a long run.
- When you're not together and it's you who's out, don't be afraid to let him know you miss him. He might also get used to texting you at those times, and message you when he's out.
- Convince yourself by telling yourself that you aren't jealous. Say it enough times to yourself and it may be a self-fulfilling reality.
- Don't automatically hate his female friends. Most likely, they're perfectly nice and even potential friends for you too.
- Don't involve your family or friends in your relationship because they will end up not liking him even after you proved you were wrong about him cheating.
- Anger is the worst reaction to have in this situation. Don't insult the other girl or him. Keep your cool.
- Do not spy on him to make sure he's not cheating on you, etc. If he were to catch you, it would only exacerbate the problem or create new ones.
- Do not try to play the jealousy game to get back at him. He probably has no idea he is making you feel this way, so it is futile and probably harmful to try to make him jealous.

For many ADHD adults, e-mail is brain candy, instant gratification -- and a huge source of distraction at work.
Use the following strategies to manage time, get organized, and keep digital messages from crowding out important tasks that need to get done at work and at home:
Limit Messages
The fewer email messages that come in, the fewer you have to deal with.
- Set e-mail software filters for messages you want to receive, but don't need to read right away. They will automatically be archived or moved to a folder you designate. To set up a filter in Outlook, choose "Rules and Alerts" from the Tools menu; in Gmail, click "settings" (at the upper right of your screen), then the "filters" tab.
- Mark unwanted e-mails as spam. Future messages from the sender will go to your junk-mail folder.
- Use an e-mail-filtering program to limit access to your inbox. These programs, such as ChoiceMail, automatically approve e-mails from only the senders you know and trust. Unapproved senders will be blocked.
Manage Messages You Do Receive
- Resist opening e-mails first thing in the morning.
- Don't allow others to set your agenda. Set a schedule to attend to e-mail -- a half-hour before lunch and a half-hour before you leave for the day.
- Turn off the e-mail notification function. Having attention called to each new message is a distraction that ADD adults don't need.
- Limit follow-up e-mails. Create a subject line that lets the recipient know exactly what your message is about.
- Respond to any e-mail that requires a brief response as soon as you open it. Don't put it off to re-read later.
- Mark e-mails that require an action. You'll be able to quickly find the action items later on.
- Empty your inbox every day. Old e-mails that require no immediate action distract you from more important e-mails that require your attention.

With Nintendo opting to use Opera for web browsing on the Wii, Samsung has now taken a similar path. Opera Software today announced that it is working with Samsung Electronics to make the mobile version of the Opera browser available on Samsung mobile phones. Opera Mobile uses Opera's small-screen rendering technology to improve the appearance of websites on mobile screens. It has not yet been announced which phones this browser will work with.

Opera is a great browser and I like this idea. The fact that Nintendo is using it with the Wii speaks volumes. I wish PS3 would use Firefox! FIREFOX FTW!!!!
Knowing sony marketing style if the ps3 has web surfing capabilities they will make their own browser
I read somewhere that it is predicted that in 10 years computers will be obsolete because you can do everything you can do with a computer on your cellphone. Sounds cool but you'll never be able to download copious amounts of pornography or blow people away in DX20 with a three inch screen.

Grenada: Jul 13, 2014
Former West Indian cricketers Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Viv Richards confirmed their support for the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) after being appointed to the Senior Management Team. While Richards was elected as the Performance Director, Sobers assumed the role of the CPL Brand Ambassador.
Richards expressed satisfaction with the way the tournament was progressing currently and its impact on upcoming talent. "I've seen first hand the benefits the CPL has had on the Caribbean. Up and coming youngsters get the chance to play with and against some of the best players in the world, and the next generation of cricketers can cheer on their heroes in packed stadiums," said the former hard-hitting batsman.
Sobers too shared similar views on the league and its influence outside the Caribbean. "I'm proud to be associated with the CPL, ahead of what promises to be a thrilling 2014 tournament. The CPL has been absolutely fantastic for cricket in the Caribbean, and this year's tournament looks set to win even more fans across the region, and around the world," said Sobers.
The CEO of the CPL, Damien O'Donohoe, conveyed happiness with the participation of the legends at the helm of the league. "The support of these two giants of the game is a ringing endorsement for the CPL. The opening weekend showed we're going from strength to strength, and we will benefit hugely from the vast cricketing expertise that Sir Viv and Sir Garfield will bring," said O'Donohoe.
The second season of the CPL kicked off on July 11th in Grenada. The opening weekend saw wins Guyana Amazon Warriors, the Red Steel and the Jamaica Tawallahs, for whom skipper Chris Gayle scored the first ever CPL century.

Scotland's Farming Union Celebrates 100 Years
Forfar Pair take Membership Flame honour at Union AGM
NFU Scotland's top official Scott Walker chose the Union's Centenary AGM and annual dinner in St Andrews today (11 February) to recognise the growing political influence that the Union has developed since its inception in 1913.
In his address in front of more than 200 delegates, Mr Walker said that the fact the Union's lobbying stretches across Parliaments at Holyrood, Westminster and Brussels is reflected in the high level politicians attracted to speak at the event. Mr Walker also highlighted the tremendous loyalty to NFU Scotland shown by members, putting the organisation on a solid financial footing and allowing him to freeze subscription rates in its Centenary year.
Providing members with the right information remains an important part of the Union's successful approach to recruitment and retention of members. This year, the Membership Flame – an award that recognises outstanding efforts in this area - has gone to the Forfar secretaries Rob Beatty and Jeremy Parker. This young duo has shown enthusiasm and verve in re-energising their local branch.
Speaking at the AGM, Scott Walker said:
"A century ago, a group of farmers from the west of Scotland met in Glasgow with a vision of giving Scottish farmers a unified voice. From that meeting NFU Scotland was born and for the past 100 years we have provided a strong and credible voice for the farmers, crofters and growers of Scotland.
"Our agenda has always been driven by the political issues of the time. Politics and farming have never been far apart and the continuing influence of politics on farming is reflected in the political line-up of MPs, MSPs and MEPs at this event.
"Political influence has changed over the years and we have adapted and changed along with it. For much of our early history the issue of food security drove agricultural policy in the UK. Two world wars and rationing meant that successive Governments encouraged farmers to produce more and in negotiations between the Ministry of Agriculture we had a role to play in fixing the support price to be paid for each agricultural product.
"We may no longer sit down with Government to determine prices but we do push, encourage and lobby Government to make the market fairer and more transparent. The appointment of the inaugural Groceries Code Adjudicator, Christine Tacon, is the result of many years of hard work that first got us a well-meaning Groceries Code and has now gotten us some teeth in an Adjudicator who will force compliance with it.
"NFU Scotland members, particularly the delegations from our milk committee who lobbied Westminster and Holyrood in 2004, calling for a retail ombudsman, can take some well deserved credit that their lobbying activity is finally on the cusp of delivering.
"We continue to work hard for our members and the Union's financial position is sound. Key to that is the voluntary decisions taken each year by a member to pay us a subscription. Their support has allowed me to freeze subscription rates in our Centenary year so that they remain at the same level as they were in 2012.
"We take nothing for granted. Our banking and wet weather surveys, carried out in autumn and winter last year, underlined how difficult a year 2012 was financially for many of our members. These difficulties continue for many with market returns in many sectors falling short when it comes to the bills for feed, fertiliser or seed to be paid this winter.
"Despite these difficulties, during our recruitment week in late October, we joined 57 new members. And during the whole of 2012 we recruited 315 members.
"NFU Scotland generates huge levels of loyalty, not just amongst members but staff as well. This year, a number of long serving group secretaries are to retire. Secretaries Tom Sayles in Caithness, Colin High in Highland and Ewan MacInnes in the North East have, between them, worked more than 70 years for NFU Scotland. But it is good to know that newer group secretaries are just as enthusiastic and committed to the Union as the old guard.
"This year, the Membership Flame goes to a new team of Rob Beatty and Jeremy Parker in the Forfar office who have not been in place long but have already made their mark. They have set up focused monitor meetings, been involved in talks about a new abattoir for the area and have got their branch more active with specialised business focussed meetings. That has brought its reward with new members in the Angus region."
Notes to Editors

Chambered top, 3 piece neck. Electronics freshly cleaned and re-strung with D'Addario 10s
Comes with original hardshell case. All latches and hinges are working. You can see in the photos that some of the tolex is a bit loose towards the bottom.

Obesity and Weight Management |
Diseases05/30/2007 |
What are the likely diseases associated to obesity, for instance if a married female of 20 years is overweight by 20 kilograms?
For an adult who is overweight, there are a number of complications related to excess weight. These include:
- hypertension
- cardiovascular disease
- type 2 diabetes - insulin resistance where the body cells are less sensitive to insulin
- gall bladder disease
- liver problems such as fatty liver
- obstructive sleep apnea
- abnormal lipid profiles such as high cholesterol
- hormonal problems in women e.g., polycystic ovary disease
- and certain cancers.
Some other conditions like asthma are also seen more often in overweight individuals. The likelihood you will have any of these conditions can be affected by other factors like how long you have been overweight, your family history, your ethnicity, your gender.

Kristen Interview with The West Australian - Part 2
If you are going to inject a classic fairy tale with contemporary relevance, it helps to have as your leading lady an actress who speaks to her generation.
Director Rupert Sanders admits that he has seen only the first Twilight film – but he knew when it came to finding a girl who embodied all the qualities of the gutsy heroine at the centre of his first feature film, Snow White and the Huntsman, there could be no one better suited to the role than Kristen Stewart.
"She's very contemporary and very spirited," Sanders says of the 22-year-old star who has become a household name playing Bella Swan in the hit vampire film franchise.
"She carries a lot of weight on her shoulders and does it with far more years than she has under her belt. There was just something about that spirit that was undefined and raw that drew us to her. It's very unbridled and kind of un-manicured."
It's the morning after the Australian premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman (or SWATH as the film is known on Twitter), Sanders' ambitious, big-budget adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairytale, featuring a stellar cast including Australian Chris Hemsworth and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.
In the plush confines of Sydney's Park Hyatt Hotel, Sanders is sitting alongside his leading lady whose casual leggings, old grey t-shirt and flannel shirt, belie the fact she has, just that morning, been named by Forbes as the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.
"Well, she's worth every penny," he adds, giving the uncomfortable- looking actress a reassuring smile.
Sanders, a respected commercial director whose resume includes advertisements for Sears, Toyota and the video game Halo 3: ODST, had been considered for several prominent films, including The Hunger Games, before he was hired by Universal to direct the $170 million Snow White reboot.
After reading Evan Daugherty's script – which is more along the lines of the original fairytale first published in 1812 than Disney's 1937 animation – the 41-year-old Brit realised that he had an opportunity to "create a world people hadn't seen before".
The "new" Snow White tells the story of the daughter of King Magnus (Noah Huntley). After his wife's death, the king falls in love with the captivating Ravenna (Theron). The two marry but on their wedding night Ravenna murders her new husband, seizes control of the kingdom and locks her stepdaughter, Snow White, in the castle.
Years later the queen learns Snow White holds the key to eternal youth, but before she is able to consume her heart which will make her immortal, Snow White escapes into the dark forest.
Ravenna sends out the Huntsman (Hemsworth) who, on learning he has been tricked by the queen, ends up helping Snow White in her effort to defeat Ravenna and end her reign.
There are elements of the story which older generations will identify with – a mirror, a red apple, an evil queen and, of course, a merry band of dwarves – but thrown into the mix are massive battles, a rebellion, stunning special effects and an underlying message "teaching us to understand mortality and not bury ourselves in jealousy or rage" and it becomes an altogether visually sumptuous and mature affair.
"It's certainly darker than Disney but I don't think it's darker than the Grimms' version," Sanders says. "It's like an original fairytale – they scare you to inform you. And people like to be scared a bit.
"We're not scaring people in a gratuitous way. It's peripheral fear, not horror. It makes you tingle and it makes the ride more intense."
Stewart, whose films outside the Twilight franchise include Into the Wild and The Runaways, admitted at the Australian premiere of SWATH on Tuesday that she never really liked the original fairytale.
"It's not that I wasn't a fan," she says. "I just couldn't connect with Snow White growing up. So when I first heard about the project I thought, 'Snow White? Why?'"
Like Sanders, she changed her mind upon reading the script and identifying with a character who was not prepared to be relegated to being saved by someone else. Sanders describes her as a "female Luke Skywalker".
"There has been a void of women being strong in movies and finally it's been done well," Stewart says.
"You recognise Snow White but it's like all her perfect qualities have been put at the bottom of a pit of mud to see if she can find them and take them and polish them."
Indeed, Sanders pushed all of his stars to their mental and physical limits during the 80-day shoot in sheeting rain and miserable mud in some of the remotest areas of Britain during winter.
For Stewart, who at one point during filming had to jump into a freezing lake, the most uncomfortable part of her role was having to ride a horse.
"That was by far the highest hurdle for me to get over," she says. "It terrified me. I think that's good though – genuine fear and discomfort is cool on screen."
For Sanders, the discomfort came early on in the piece when he contemplated the enormity of adapting such a beloved fairytale for the big screen.
"You are a bit nervous whenever you do anything in life where you are opening yourself up," he says.
"I don't think my job was any more nerve-racking than Kristen's or Chris' who are the face of it. I could have probably slid away into anonymity and never worked again if it had been a disaster. I guess there's pressure for all of us."
With strong reviews and box office results and talk of a sequel, Sanders doesn't have to worry too much about his future. As for Stewart, she will take a month's break before starting work on her next film – a thriller named Cali by The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes.
"It's hard to talk about because I haven't got into the zone. Literally as soon as I get home, we need to cast it … sit down with the script," Stewart says.
"But it's pretty extreme in every way. It reminds me of movies from the 90s – weird cult movies."
She will next appear on the big screen as the uninhibited Marylou in the screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic novel, On the Road, which opens in Australia in September.
Then of course there's that little film opening in November – the final instalment in the Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn: Part 2.
While keen to press on with new and challenging roles, Stewart admits it was hard saying goodbye to a character she has lived with for the past four years.
"It's always the same feeling at the end of something you have invested in," she says.
In this case it was just longer.
"I will probably have to talk about (the role) for the rest of my life but I am lucky because it's a fond memory."

Full profile →'">
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Your life shouldn't be this hard. You are working, momming, juggling, and you are probably exhausted without a break in sight. If this describes you, take respite in knowing that small lifestyle edits can make great changes.
Here are 8 ways to make tomorrow easier than today:
1. Routinize Your Schedule
Even if you don't live by a train, act as though you do. Make a daily departure time and proudly stick to it. This makes you more dependable at home and more reliable at the office. Colleagues will steer clear of the 5pm conference call if they know you leave at 5:30 and your family will be more organized if they know when to expect you.
2. Plan Your Dinners
Schedule the week of dinners on Sunday when you are calmer and more relaxed so that you aren't scrambling anew to come up with a plan for dinner each evening. Make one or two recipes on Sunday that can be used throughout the week. Throw in a weekly pizza night or a Brinner (Breakfast for dinner) for fun and ease.
3. Choose Your Outfit the Night Before
Designer and mom of two, Liz Lange is obsessed with this trick because it reduces stress and saves time. She explains, "Before I go to sleep I look at my schedule for the next day and figure out an outfit that is appropriate for all my various activities." You should too.
4. Wake Up 10 Minutes Early
If you are like most people, your morning timing was created based on the always-going-smoothly scenario. Since it doesn't, wake yourself and your kids up 10 minutes earlier to insert sanity into the daily morning rush.
5. Schedule a Weekly Blowout

Glenn can get silly and over dramatic, but he's just different enough that I enjoy listening to him---for a while. Couldn't take big doses of him.
The one that I can't stand is a guy named Todd Schnitt who is out of Tampa, but supposedly is getting syndicated. He was in a stupid lawshit with Bubba the Love Sponge. Schnitt almost makes me dislike conservatives---that's how obnoxious he is. He had most of his career as a shock jock (MJ), now advocates conservative causes. He big time was pushing Romney. He had me so incensed that I called the show, ready to blast him for the Romney push, the making fun of anyone supporting someone not Romney. I had a doc appointment and had to hang up before they talked to me. He's absolutely obnoxious, but he shut his mouth after the election.

04-22-2013, 10:23 PMI listen to Beck because he offers up some unique perspectives. The preachey side, I can do without. But, IMO there is usually thought provoking substance there. And I live for their Al Gore bits!!!
I liked his TV show. No nonsense and his use of visuals was great. I loved his guests. His radio show, to me, is Howard Stern political talk. I'd rather listen to Wilkow.

04-23-2013, 01:37 PMMy biggest objection to Schnitt is that he just babbles too much. He spends most of his talk time telling you what he's going to talk about, rather than actually talking about it. He's not alone in this. I realize that these people make big bucks and obviously know what they are doing, I just wish they would take into account that most of us aren't glued to the radio, aren't stuck in our cars for three hours straight, and don't appreciate it that of the 15 to 25 minutes we spend in the car guys like Schnitt spend 20 minutes babbling.
Schnitt's other big offense is that he takes a news item and then comes up with a list of stupid "what ifs" or questions that he thinks are poignant and relevant. The truth is, intellectually Bubba The Love Sponge is Schnitt's total superior. Schnitt is getting syndicated, but I don't think he does the reading that one needs to do to be a good talk-radio host. You can't simply pull interesting news items off Yahoo and wing it. Medved, Praeger, Limbaugh, and Levin actually do the reading. Schnitt and Beck just babble and ask stupid questions.
It's also that it's all about Schnitt, a very self-absorbed personality. Rush might sometimes come across as all-knowing, but he generally makes sense and hones in on the essence of a subject. Schnitt wouldn't know a profound thought if it came around and smacked him.
When I first came to Florida, had never heard Schnitt, just knew that I didn't like him. If he's on, I change the station or just drive in peace and quiet.

(Kitco News) - Gold prices are moderately lower in early U.S. trading Friday, on some follow-through technical selling from Thursday's losses. The key "outside markets" are in a bullish posture for the precious metals Friday morning--a lower U.S. dollar index and firmer crude oil prices--which is limiting downside price pressure. February gold last traded down $4.30 at $1,665.60 an ounce. Spot gold was last quoted down $0.90 at $1,667.00. March Comex silver last traded down $0.152 at $31.57 an ounce.
In the U.S., traders and investors continue to focus on the quarterly corporate earnings reports. Germany's stock market hit a five-year high and the Euro currency rallied Friday following an Ifo reading on German consumer confidence that hit a seven-month high. However, in the U.K., economic growth contracted by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. In Asia, Japan's stock index rallied on fresh talk from Japan finance officials who reiterated that their monetary policy would remain very accommodative.
On Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel hinted she thought Japan is manipulating its currency. It can be strongly argued that several major countries are manipulating their currencies for their own economic benefit. There has been scattered talk of "currency wars" in the market place recently. If such discussion would become more widespread in the coming weeks or months it could produce significant fresh safe-haven demand for gold.
With U.S. and some European stock indexes at multi-month or multi-year highs at present, the general investing public is more interested in the stock market than at any time in years. Combine that with the calmer world geopolitical climate at present, and safe-haven assets like gold are being overlooked by many investors.
The annual World Economic Forum is still taking place in Davos, Switzerland. Market watchers will be looking for any significant news coming out of the meeting.
The U.S. dollar index is weaker early Friday. The greenback bears still hold the solid overall near-term technical advantage, which is an underlying supportive factor for the precious metals. Nymex crude oil futures prices are slightly higher early Friday. Oil prices Wednesday hit a four-month high. The crude oil bulls have upside near-term technical momentum and that, too, is a bullish underlying factor for the metals markets.
U.S. economic data due for release Friday is light and includes new residential home sales.
The London A.M. gold fixing is $1,670.25 versus the previous London P.M. fixing of $1,671.00.
Technically, February gold futures bulls and bears are still on an overall level near-term technical playing field. However, the bulls are fading and need to show fresh power soon to avoid fresh near-term chart damage. Gold bulls are a bit frustrated that they have been unable to push prices above the key $1,700.00 level, even though they have come close recently. The key 200-day moving average presently comes in at $1,668.00. Bears' next near-term downside breakout price objective is closing prices below solid technical support at $1,650.00. First resistance is seen at the overnight high of $1,671.60 and then at $1,680.00. First support is seen at $1,660.00 and then at $1,650.00.
March silver prices are seeing some profit taking and a downside technical correction. Silver bulls still have the slight near-term technical advantage, but need to show fresh power soon to keep it. Bulls' next upside price breakout objective is closing prices above solid technical resistance at $33.00 an ounce. The next downside price breakout objective for the bears is closing prices below solid technical support at $30.79. First resistance is seen at the overnight high of $31.815 and then at $32.00. Next support is seen at the overnight low of $31.31 and then at $31.00.

No, I knew what you meant. I just don't think the picture is any clue to them being alive. It was the same Cole in that pic as they used to finish off OLTL - he was a recast. They likely recast Hope for GH because of the logistics of GH being in LA and OLTL having been shot in NY. Really though, did we even actually see Hope? I may have missed a scene or two with Cole and Hope, but I don't even remember seeing Hope at all.
I'd be surprised if they aren't dead. The car crash was a convenient way to get Starr into Port Charles and involved with Michael without her being a mother and without the crappy re cast Cole (not that the other Cole was any good either).
Rick Springfield has had some really bad eye work done.

MS Dhoni has finished four run-chases in the last over for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014. On three occasions, he has hit a six in the last over. Nishad Pai Vaidya writes about Dhoni's penchant to take it into the last over.
In the most tense run-chases, Mahendra Singh Dhoni exudes monk-like temperament to take his side through. Remember Adelaide 2012? As India lost wickets and moved towards the target, Dhoni kept his calm only to smash a huge six in the last over. Go back to Trinidad in 2013, when Sri Lanka hit back in the tri-series final. Dhoni cut a lone figure and smashed a couple of sixes and a four in the last over to seal a memorable one-wicket triumph. Those two games perhaps stand-out in Dhoni's long resume of last over finishes.
It isn't only at the international level, but even for the CSK in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that Dhoni has often mastered final over run-chases. The most remarkable one was against Kings XI Punjab at Dharamsala in 2010 when his blitz in the final over took Chennai into the semi-finals and the rest was history. But, a very pertinent fact is that Chennai have finished their run-chases four times in the IPL 2014 with Dhoni being unbeaten on all occasions. On three occasions, Dhoni hit a six in that last over to turn it completely in Chennai's favour. What is it that helps him stay so cool?
It is quite remarkable how Dhoni maintains his composure and looks unruffled by it all. It is that supreme confidence in his power that he manages to back himself. The bowlers have a very small margin for error and if they get it wrong even by a centimeter, he will send it into the crowd. Thus, even though the opposition may have runs on hand before the final over, the bowler is under immense pressure while bowling to Dhoni as his success rate in these finishes is well known. And invariably, the pressure gets to them and they get it wrong.
Also Read
But, there are times when Dhoni goes a bit too slow and takes the game into the last over. There are times when it could have been finished a lot earlier, saving the spectators a bit of nervousness. It is astonishing at times and then Dhoni unleashes his beast in the last over. The basis of his philosophy is to bat as long as possible, even if it is a T20, avoid anything rash and if you get to the end, you will win it. And more often than not, he does get it right.
However, there is that ever little margin of error here as well. Back in 2012, Dhoni had gone slow during a T20 International against New Zealand and India lost by one run. Even then, it could have been finished much before. But, he did not get strike for a major part of the last over and India could not finish the job. Thus, Dhoni may keep that in mind while fashioning his run-chases. The odd finish in the last over is fine, it happens. But, it may be a bit too often for the liking.
At least that is what some one sitting outside the boundary may feel, but who knows what goes through Dhoni's mind. For him, it may be just another day!

Put a baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a food processor, then whizz in the butter until it disappears. Pulse in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle.
Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop.
Tip the dough onto a floured surface, then, with floured hands, fold the dough over a few times – just enough to create a smoothish dough. Press out to about 4cm/1½in thick, dip a 7cm cutter into more flour, then stamp out 4 rounds, flouring the cutter each time. Squash the remainder lightly together, then repeat until the dough is used up. Brush tops with egg wash, scatter flour over the hot sheet, then lift the scones on. Bake for 12 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten just-warm, or on the day.

Ulrich Launches 'Trees And Sidewalks'
Councilmember Eric Ulrich was joined last week by Parks Department Commissioner Adrian Benepe to launch the "Trees and Sidewalks" program in District 32.
The program will address sidewalks raised by uprooted trees that pose as safety hazards to pedestrians. Typically a homeowner is responsible for the side walk in front of his or her house. But under the program, eligible homes will be receiving the fix-up for free, which can save the average homeowner up to $1,000, Ulrich said at the press conference in Ozone Park.
Ulrich funded the program solely for his district with $1.1 million in funding. Parks introduced the program in 2005 but as a citywide initiative which made getting your particular sidewalk addressed a bit more difficult.
Ulrich says the list of 317 sidewalks within his district that will be fixed with the funding makes sure that the majority of hazardous sidewalks within the district are addressed.
Only sidewalks in front of residential one- to three-family homes are eligible to be repaired under the program. Ulrich expects all 317 sidewalks, more than 60 of which are in the Rockaways and Broad Channel, to be repaired within two months.
The list of repairable sidewalks was generated from 311 complaints and Parks Department surveying.

The government of Great Britain has begun advising its supermarkets on how to distinguish between Jewish and Arab manufactured foods from the Judea and Samaria regions of Israel. The British Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), has recommended that food labels for products made in Judea and Samaria say either "Israeli settlement produce" or "Palestinian produce." The labels are intended to increase pressure on Israel to surrender these areas and to result in the exulsion of all Jewish residents.
DEFRA, in keeping with Britain's longstanding opposition to a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria, said that traders would be committing an offense if they declared produce from these areas as "produce of Israel."
Israeli officials and leaders of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria criticized the British government Thursday evening for the recommendation. Foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor expressed fear that this was a slide towards a broader boycott of Israeli goods and called the move a matter of concern. "It looks like it [the British government] is catering to the demands of those whose ultimate goal is the boycott of Israeli products."
Danny Dayan, who serves as chairman of the council for Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, said the decision was the "latest hostile step" from Britain against the Jewish towns and villages in the area. He added that "products from our communities in Judea and Samaria should be treated as any other Israeli product."
Yehuda HaKohen of the Zionist Freedom Alliance told Israel National News that DEFRA's recommendation is nothing new and that Britain has always been one of the leading obstacles to regional stability in the Middle East. "It was the British who originally turned local Arabs and Jews against one another in order to further their own colonialist agenda for our region. And since Jewish freedom fighters succeeded in driving the British administration from our soil, they have been working tirelessly to undermine Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel. Britain is and has always been an imperialist power and an enemy of the Zionist revolution. Our leaders would do well to just accept this as fact."
