U.S. looks to '02 plan as path to peace
JERUSALEM – The Obama administration is exploring whether a long-abandoned initiative proposed by Saudi Arabia 11 years ago could become the basis for a regional peace agreement between Israel and its neighbors, according to Israeli and Palestinian officials.
With U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry due to arrive in the region over the weekend, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been conferring with other Arab leaders on the viability of the plan, which calls for a normalization of relations between Israel and all the Arab states in exchange for the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state.
Israeli and Palestinian officials confirmed to McClatchy Newspapers that President Obama raised the possibility of using the Arab Peace Initiative, as the plan was known, as a framework for an agreement when he was in the region last month.
"It was raised directly by Obama during his visit and during his closed-door discussion with the Palestinian leadership," said a senior Palestinian official directly involved in the talks. "It was made clear to the Palestinian leadership that this would be the new direction of U.S. diplomacy in the region."
The official said that White House officials laid the groundwork for the renewal of the Arab peace initiative two weeks before Obama's visit to Israel and the West Bank when they spoke with Palestinian negotiators in Washington.
"They were told then that this would be the focus and that it had great potential," said the Palestinian official, who asked not to be further identified because of the sensitivity of the talks. He said Obama, Kerry, Abbas and Palestinian negotiators Mohammed Shtayeh and Saeb Erekat discussed the topic for several hours during the president's visit to Ramallah, where the Palestinian Authority has its headquarters.
"He asked us during that time not to take any unilateral steps in the U.N. or moves that would anger Israel," the Palestinian official said, referring to Obama. He added that it was his understanding that Israel had agreed not to announce any new settlement construction projects for eight weeks.
"Kerry asked for a quiet time to give the new diplomacy a chance," the official said.
The Arab Peace Initiative, which also has been referred to as the "Saudi peace plan," was first proposed in March 2002 at a meeting of the Arab League. It stipulated that Israel withdraw from areas occupied in the 1967 Middle East War – namely the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip – and allow the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. In return, Arab nations would pledge to adopt normal relations with Israel and effectively declare the conflict over.
Ariel Sharon, then Israel's prime minister, immediately rejected the plan. Subsequent Israeli leaders have periodically warmed to, and then rejected, the plan.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who openly opposed the plan when he was opposition leader in 2007, has since quietly voiced support for it, including in closed-door meetings with Egyptian and Jordanian officials.

Responding to an accommodation request does not have to be scary. Adopting a policy for an association to follow goes a long way to successfully addressing accommodation requests properly. But there are several stages where boards and managers can get tripped up in the process.
This article first appeared in the January/February issue of the Orange County Chapter of CAI's OC View Magazine.
With all the various moving parts that go into managing a community association, few issues cause more confusion or are as fraught with risk as dealing with a request for a reasonable accommodation or modification. Failing to respond timely, or denying a request when it is appropriate exposes the association to potential liability for violating fair housing laws. Granting one without getting sufficient information to determine if it is warranted exposes the association to potentially unnecessary expenses and potential breach of fiduciary duty claims. Asking for additional information to support the request might be a no-no. That is why having a good, clear, concise policy in place to guide a board of directors as to how to address such requests can go a long way to help navigate the potential landmines that responding to a request for a reasonable accommodation involves.
Continue reading "Responding to an Accommodation Request? What's your Policy?"
California Governor Jerry Brown Officially declared an end to the drought and rescinded two drought-related executive orders from 2014, including the one that declared a drought state of emergency, excepting four counties in Central California. The Governor's action today reinstates the ability for California community associations to impose fines or otherwise enforce their governing documents related to an owner's decision to not water grass or other vegetation.
Executive Order B-40-17 lifts the drought emergency in all California counties except Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Tuolumne, where emergency drinking water projects will continue to help address diminished groundwater supplies. Today's order also rescinds two emergency proclamations from January and April 2014 and four drought–related executive orders issued in 2014 and 2015.
In a related action, state agencies today issued a plan to continue to make conservation a way of life in California, as directed by Governor Brown in May 2016. The framework requires new legislation to establish long-term water conservation measures and improved planning for more frequent and severe droughts. Permanent restrictions shall prohibit wasteful practices such as:
• Hosing off sidewalks, driveways and other hardscapes;
• Washing automobiles with hoses not equipped with a shut-off
• Using non-recirculated water in a fountain or other decorative
water feature;
• Watering lawns in a manner that causes runoff, or within 48
hours after measurable precipitation; and
• Irrigating ornamental turf on public street medians.

A BOARD MEMBER OR MANAGER tells a landscape company's employee that he or she can only work during certain hours on particular days of the week or directs the employee to plant flowers in a specific way or location. Or, if a board believes the association isn't receiving the level of service it expects, it may try to require its management company to fire a manager or replace him or her on the account. These situations aren't all that uncommon.
Since the association is contracting for these services, the board (and maybe its manager) probably believes the contractor—and not the association—employs those individuals. However, under certain circumstances, the association could be found to be a "joint employer" of a contractor's employees, which means a lot more fiscal responsibility and legal liability.Adidas Superstar Iridescent Hologram 3D TD PS GS Mujeres 4c 7y , Adidas Tubular Shadow (Core Black & White) | Zapatillas de running adidas Energy Cloud WTC Women US Black, de segunda mano , adidas messi ic todo negro blanco , Zapatillas para correr Adidas Supernova Sequence 6 Neo Iron Azul 11 B , Adidas Trainer Femme Adidas Chaussures Femme | Adidas gana en una decisión preliminar en un juicio contra Skechers , Pharrell está trabajando con adidas en un par de NMD Hypebeast Adidas Busenitz D68830 gris / blanco / metal plateado para hombre adidas ultra boost uncaged, adidas unisex adults adizero middle Adidas MC X1 Originals Fresno / Blanco | Equipo de Adidas con soporte 2 antigüedades oro antiguo oro negro , Obtenga este increíble acuerdo de compra en Adidas Running Supernova (Core , adidas Originals Crazy 1 A // D Heather Grey / Power Red Sneaker , Adidas Velcro Shoes ShopStyle ZX FLUX SET TO HIT Mi ADIDAS CON OPCIÓN DE IMPRESIÓN DE FOTOS | , adidas NEWS STREAM: adidas Originals DEERUPT , 2018/17/16/15/14 Zapatillas Adidas Originals Mujer Zx Flux para mujer Femme Adidas Originals Superstar Supercolor Pack Chaussures Lumière , Peach Adidas Fotos, Fotos e Imágenes para Facebook, Tumblr , Zapatos perfectos Zapatos de hombre adidas Originals NMD R2 PK BY9410 , Antimicrobial para hombre Adidas 2014 negro brillante amarillo Adizero Soccer 100 originales adidas neo ventaja blanco marino talla 36 43 muraahhh , adidas Originals Superstar 80s Clean BZ0566 Utility Negro / Gris ALEXANDER WANG ADIDAS ORIGINALES POR AW JACQUARD CHALECO DE LA PISTA AMARILLO Zapatos Mujer BLACK FRIDAY casual mujer Adidas GAZELLE ORIGINALS , Tres desafíos de marca que aguardan al nuevo CEO de Adidas Kasper Rorsted , Adidas Adissage SC sandalias para hombre AD 7454549 Black / Solar Slime / Neo Iron adidas Outdoor Terrex Voyager DLX SKU: 8908011 YouTube , adidas Frozen Cloudfoam Trainers Childrens VapourBlue / Wht Find
In a 2015 case known as Browning-Ferris Industries of California (# 32-RC-109684), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overturned a long series of cases in the collective bargaining arena. With the decision, the circumstances expanded under which an entity that contracts for services can be found to be a joint employer. The decision could have far-reaching implications for both community associations and management companies, making them responsible for the employees of landscapers, painters, managers and others who provide services to an association.
Continue reading "Who's the Boss? The National Labor Relations Board's new standard for determining joint employment may make community associations and management companies responsible for contractors' pay, benefits and legal liability. Review your agreements with business partners now."
Disputes between owners and associations can easily spin out of control. When those disputes result in a lawsuit, the costs, both in terms of time and money, can be significant. That is why attorneys often encourage parties to first meet and try to resolve those issues through some form of dispute resolution process before a lawsuit is filed. In fact, the law often requires that parties at least offer to meet in some form of alternative dispute resolution setting before they file a lawsuit, or they may lose the right to recover attorney's fees even if they win the suit.
California's Davis-Stirling Act contains several sections that address, and sometimes require, the use of the dispute resolution process before litigation can be filed. The statutory process includes (1) Internal Dispute Resolution and (2) Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Internal Dispute Resolution or "IDR" is an informal process where one or two representatives of the association (typically a board member and the association's community manager) meet with the owner of the property at issue and try to resolve the issue informally. Civil Code section 5905 requires that associations provide a "fair, reasonable, and expeditious procedure for resolving a dispute" with members.
Governor Brown has signed AB 349, an urgency statute which takes effect immediately. AB 349 amends Section 4735 of the Civil Code, and prevents associations from prohibiting the installation of artificial turf, or "any other synthetic surface that resembles grass."
This bill also prohibits any requirement that an owner remove or reverse water-efficient landscaping measures, installed in response to a declaration of a state of emergency, upon the conclusion of the state of emergency.
As anyone who has looked into replacing natural grass with artificial turf can tell you, there are different types and quality of artificial turf available in the market. AB 349 does not prevent an association from developing and applying reasonable landscape standards, including standards regarding the installation of artificial turf, so long as the standards do not restrict or prevent the installation of artificial turf, any other synthetic surface that resembles grass, or other drought tolerant landscape.
In light of AB 349 and its immediate impact, associations which have not already done so should work quickly to develop architectural standards which allow for installation of artificial turf and "any other synthetic surface that resembles grass." This can often best be done by working with a landscape architect who can advise the board of directors with regard to the different types of products available, and how those different products may look in community. Failure to have such standards in place may result in an association not being able to require owners seeking to install such items to install the type and quality materials which the association deems consistent with the aesthetics of the community.

Remember this little guy? One of my favorite quilt blocks from my liberated sampler was the wonky churn dash. In my original post, I linked to a tutorial by Sarah at Sew Joy Creations, so you could make your very own liberated churn dash block.
Sarah has since developed a fantastic quilt pattern using these liberated churn dash blocks! Her pattern is 22 pages, full of color photos and very detailed. And the best part is, Sarah has offered to give away a copy of the pattern to one of you. All you need to do is leave a comment! What fabrics would you use for your Liberated Churn Dash quilt? I will pick a winner Thursday, July 19th in the evening. Good luck everyone!
++ Closing comments to pick a winner! ++
The winner is #61, Jen B! Jen said "I think I would piece together charms from swaps to "make" some fabric. Maybe my neutrals with a turquoise background."
Congratulations Jen! I will be in contact!

The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by Stephen C. Johnson, written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain. PCC debuted in Unix Version 7 and replaced the DMR compiler (Dennis Ritchie's original C compiler) in both System V and the BSD 4.x releases. Some history about pcc is in the [A History of UNIX before Berkeley: UNIX Evolution: 1975-1984](http://www.darwinsys.com/history/hist.html) and in the [Evolution of C](http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/c_evolution.html). A copy of S. C. Johnson's and Donn Seeley's 1987 ``A Tour Through the Portable C Compiler'' is available in [HTML](http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/porttour/porttour.html) and [Postscript](ftp://226.net120.skekraft.net/pcc/porttour.ps). (For current pcc internal documentation, see the [[internals]] wiki page.) About 50% of the frontend code and 80% of the [[backend|internals]] code has been rewritten. Most stuff is written by Anders Magnusson, with the exception of the data-flow analysis part and the SSA conversion code which is written by Peter A Jonsson, and the Mips port that were written as part of a project by undergraduate students at Luleaa University of Technology (LTU). It was publicly announced to the NetBSD community on September 14, 2007. Shortly later it was imported to the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and pkgsrc source trees.

My Room: Lula
Sophie's room for Lula is imbued with personality and love: I'm a composer and violinist based in London, UK. Waiting for my little Lula to arrive I really wanted to create a unique room that reflected my own style - a combination of classic antique pieces and more quirky or vintage finds - and that allowed me to bring together lots of little treasures collected on the road.
I really wanted to make a gallery wall for Lula so there would be lots for her to look at (and had so much fun doing it). My favourite pieces are the papier mache animal heads from Anthropologie, the hanging chalkboard sign which my sister found in Soho NY and a pencil drawing that the artist Annie Morris did for Lula.
For a feeding chair, I chose to recover a 19th Century piece with black denim and to pile it with cushions. Lula's cot and matching changing table came from the amazing Quax in Belgium - I love that they offer alternatives to white/natural wood and was struggling to pick between the black and this grey hue. I struggled to find really original bed linens in the UK - so many cutesy cartoon characters and a plethora of pinks and blues - so was thrilled to discover Kid Rebellion and PS I Love You in Holland. The red gingham print is a particular favourite as it reminds me of my own childhood holidays in the Swiss Alps. The patchwork quilt on Lula's cot is also very precious as all my girlfriends and female relatives contributed patches and it was presented at my baby shower. The rug was also a gift from my sister the interior designer Selina Van der Geest's shop NLGB in upstate New York.

Davidson County government is considering buying land close to Boone's Cave Park, which could be used for additional parking space in the future.
Davidson County government is considering buying land close to Boone's Cave Park, which could be used for additional parking space in the future.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners originally discussed the property last week during closed session, giving direction to parks and recreation staff to continue negotiations with the owner.
The tract of land, currently owned by Stephen Sowers of Lexington, has sometimes been used for overflow parking from the park in the past, said Charles Parnell, Davidson County's recreation director.
"We don't have a whole lot of parking as it stands now," Parnell said. "When we have any type of activity at all when people come to utilize the park, we are strapped for parking. Our intent, right now, would be to utilize the land for parking, along with other reasons in the future."
The property, located along Boone's Cave Road in western Davidson County, is being marketed by Alco Properties. The list price for two acres of property is about $39,900, according to real estate listings; however, the county may be interested in a slightly larger tract of land.
"It does not join park property, but is very close to where the property is," Parnell said. "It's close enough where it would benefit us to have access to the property."
The board will meet next for its regularly scheduled informational meeting at 8 a.m. on Thursday. There is a real estate item on the agenda, under closed session.
The 100-acre Boone's Cave Park is owned and operated by the Davidson County Parks and Recreation Department.
Last month, park staff unveiled a Dragonfly Boardwalk and Wilderness Walk trail to the public. Including the new Wilderness Walk, Boone's Cave Park includes more than five miles of trail.

Horrorfest '07: Tooth and Nail (US - DVD R1)
Gabe pinpoints the exact moment that the After Dark Horrorfest started to suck.
The world is plunged into a violent apocalypse as the last oil well is bled dry. Without gas everything goes to hell, and the vast majority of humanity is dead (?). A small group of survivors holds up in an abandoned hospital where they make tentative plans to start civilization over, but things go all screwy when patrol brings back a stranger who is pursued by a gang of cannibal survivalists.
It's around this moment that my 2007 After Dark Horrorfest took its first real dip in quality from around average to rather dismal. Tooth and Nail isn't a horror film, it's a light-on-action thriller. There's some gory violence and a few scenes that attempt something like suspense, but it isn't scary or even sold as such. Then there's the matter of the cast, which is proudly listed as including Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, and Robert Carradine, who are in the film for a total of maybe seven minutes. Madsen and Jones' parts don't even amount to cameos, though we get plenty more post- Borderland Rider Strong (note to all actors: if you are staring in two of the 8 Films to Die For your career is on the down slope).
But the real problem isn't the lack of terror or decent actors; it's the script, which is just unbelievably dumb. It's a bad Hills Have Eyes meets Mad Max-on-a-budget clone that is packed to the rafters with predictability. Ten minutes into the film my buddy and I had successfully guessed the entire plot, including last act twist. Then we had to sit through our account in slow motion. The characters split up when they should logically be sticking together, one character disappears for most of the film only to show up without any explanation just in time, minus his beard (they play it off as a joke, but I don't buy it), and the protagonists spend their valuable day time hours (when they aren't being hunted) moping and napping rather then setting up any kind of defences or, you know, escaping. All the girls look fabulous, with freshly plucked eyebrows, lipstick, eye shadow, and ace haircuts, despite the end of the world scenario, the dialogue is full of one 'I'll get you for this' cliché after another, and the 'Rovers' look more like local SCA members then apocalypse roughened killers.
Writer/Editor/Director Mark Young lifts narrative and visual quotes from a veritable library of better movies. More specifically it's as if Young read a book about allegory in modern horror films and tried to stick as much of this knowledge into his film as possible. The kill order and last act actions both back up the same post-feminist horror movie themes that were laid out in the 1970s by Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween, then Young explores them with visual cues stolen directly from recent releases The Decent and Haute Tension. The cause of the apocalypse—a lack of gasoline—is so preposterous I spent a good five minutes assuming it was just a metaphor for the real cause. I'm just about the greenest, most liberal, tree-hugging environmentalists you'll ever meet, and I'm a huge fan of political underpinnings in my B-movies, but I can't buy the lack of gasoline causing the sudden and violent downfall of modern society. I can buy that bad things might happen, but even Discovery channel scare-umentaries wouldn't claim such a sudden dooming of humanity when the gas crisis comes to a head.
Tooth and Nail seems to have one an average budget for the Horrorfest, so it looks pretty good on DVD. The print's biggest problem is combing and interlacing effects, which made getting screen caps a chore. Details are distinctive, and a lack of interesting lighting ensures a flat look where contrast is a non-issue. This was one of a few Horrorfest releases featuring distinct and noticeable print damage artefacts, but these were minimal and did not occur more then a handful of times.
Again, Lionsgate and After Dark Films impresses with this Dolby Digital 5.1 track, which isn't as lively as some of the more stylized series entrees, but still full of successful directional effects. Dialogue is clear and mostly evenly recorded, though there are some obvious moments of ADR flubs peppered throughout. The action sound effects are appropriately overstated, but sound more like proper foley work rather then the library effects found in so many of the other Horrorfest titles. The film's score is rather unmemorable, but it sounds fine, as does the more loudly represented rock music that opens and finishes the film.
Mark Young is not given the chance to defend himself in the form of a commentary track or making-of featurette. This disc contains nothing but the same The Eye and Horrorfest trailers found on every other disc and a solitary Miss Horrorfest webisode. Good for me, though, I didn't have to watch any more Tooth and Nail that absolutely necessary.
If you really, really, really love Vinnie Jones there is one joke at the very end of the movie that might make it worthwhile renting. Otherwise I say skip this one. The composition is flat, the actors don't care, and the plot could be sued for plagiarism by dozens of more popular features. The DVD looks and sounds all right, but extras are absent.

So far by the Horrorfest reviews this one is c**ppy. By all movies the extras are horrible, the actors don't care, and the plot suffers.
Chris Johnson Member Join Date: October 2005 Location: United States Posts: 1,465
I have to respect Vinnie Jones, he is really making a name for himself in the acting field. Michael Madsen however, can shove it.
MovieNerd777 Member Join Date: June 2006 Location: United States Posts: 75
Hey Kirk,
Does it really matter what the opinion of one guy is anyway? Isnt that what the point of a movie is? To appeal to different people? I might love Tooth & Nail while others hated it, & others might have loved films that i hated...it would be a boring world if everyone agreed on the same thing...

CERF provides US$5.5 million for storm-affected people in Cuba
21 November 2012: Hurricane Sandy hit the eastern region of Cuba hard when it passed through the country on 25 October. Sustained winds reached upwards of 200 km/h as Sandy lashed Santiago de Cuba and Holguin—Cuba's second and third most populated provinces, respectively. The storm caused 11 deaths and affected an additional 3 million people (20 per cent of the country's population). At least 200,000 homes were damaged and 17,000 destroyed.
The urban context of the affected area makes the situation very complex. Infrastructure was severely damaged including electricity distribution, communication systems, warehouses, storage facilities, and industrial and public institutions. Santiago de Cuba is an extremely important economic artery for the country and region. Therefore, the impact that the city sustained will have consequences for the rest of Cuba.
In response, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated US$5.5 million to help UN agencies and humanitarian partners provide support in agriculture, food security, health, education, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene.
A total of $925,000 has been allocated to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), $400,000 to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), $102,000 to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), $1.8 million to the World Food Programme (WFP), $550,000 to the World Health Organization (WHO) and $1.8 million to the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
The funds aim to assist half a million affected people.

Bluffton officers responded to 21 Woods Bay Road on Wednesday on a report of an individual, Anthony Valentino, who was threatening to harm himself as well as law enforcement officers who were trying to assist him.
Officers on the scene were unable to make contact with the suspect and he refused to answer the door. Police contacted several relatives of Valentino who verified that he was threatening to harm any law enforcement officer. These family members also advised officers that Valentino had access to multiple guns to include an assault rifle.
Bluffton police as well as members from the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office SWAT team and negotiations team arrived on scene. The surrounding houses were cleared of all residents to assure that they were out of harm's way.
The Beaufort County Negotiations Team was able to establish contact with Valentino and he eventually agreed to turn himself over to police custody. Valentino was taken into custody via an order of detention from probate court.
Officers executed a search warrant on Valentino's home. There were several weapons found inside the home to include an assault rifle, sniper rifle, and several handguns. The sniper rifle was located near a window on the second floor to Valentino's home. All weapons were removed from Valentino's home and have been secured at the Bluffton Police Department for safe keeping.
Valentino has not been charged with a crime.

Thanks, WM, any idea who did what? (Ideas, Gameplay, XML, Graphics)
It was a bit of a crazy night... It's quite hard to divide the work up so distinctly, particularly as there was so much overlapping and baton-passing.
How did things go? Well, there was lots of debate between those involved in the process about ideas/concepts, and several rough (and I mean really rough) drafts that floated around for a while... so Ideas-wise, you could attribute all of the recognised contributors.
The first draft that developed into Classic:Art was drawn by mibi, but passed through oaktown, MrBenn and WidowMakers before it was finished.
During the drafting process, all of the contributors helped to develop the idea and ensure that the gameplay was the same as the original Classic... whether this means all of them/none of them qualify for the gameplay I don't know...
I can't remember who started the XML, but I have a sneaky suspicion that yeti_c did the bulk of it, with the relevant support / spellings / centerings coming from whoever was still awake at the time...

Algeria's Large Youth Population Has Few OpportunitiesPublished on Friday 25th March 2011
Walk down Rue Didouche Mourad - a bustling auto route lined with colonial-era buildings that winds its way toward the Algiers port - and this is what you will see: groups of children heading home from school; young girls, some with headscarves, others bareheaded, mobile phones glued to their ears; young men hanging out in cafes; a street population that is overwhelmingly young.This is the face of Algeria. Seven out of 10 people in this North African country are less than 25 years old. These youths should be the country's wealth. But are they?
No, says Imad Boubekri, youth coordinator for the Algerian League for the Defense of Human Rights. At least, that is not the way they are seen.Boubekri says few jobs are available for young Algerians. There is a collective anguish among the youth population here, sparking a string of self-immolations mirroring neighboring Tunisia, where the death of a young man who set himself on fire triggered a powerful revolt that toppled the country's longtime president.But while there was rioting over high food prices in January and an ongoing series of scattered protests for disparate causes, young people here have failed to catalyze - much less lead - the kinds of national revolts against authoritarian governments witnessed in other Arab countries.
Consider a protest last weekend in Algiers by part-time school teachers demanding benefits. Mohammed Shekalel, a teacher in his late '20s who works at a school about 80 kilometers away, was among them. The protest, he said, had nothing to do with demands for political reform."We don't speak about politics because we don't belong to any political party. We [want] our rights concerning our jobs," said Shekalel.Algerian students have also been protesting in front of the education ministry to demand a better recognition of their university diplomas. But again, their calls have yet to gain a political edge.Still, youth activist Boubekri believes it is only a question of time.Boubekri says Algeria's economic, political and social situation is very precarious. He has no doubt it will lead to a social explosion.Boubekri was among the organizers of a youth march announced on the Internet social network Facebook last weekend aimed to demand major political reforms. Only a few dozen young people showed up, and every time they tried to gather police broke them up.Unlike neighboring Tunisia, where Cyberspace helped drive the political revolt, the Internet has failed to galvanize the youth here.On Didouche Mourade street, 16-year-old Ilias Fouial says he is not interested in participating in the political protests.Ilias says that is the opposition party. His friends are not involved with that.Is he interested in politics?Not really, Ilias says. He is interested in sports.That is not to say that youths have not been key members of anti-government protests that have rippled across the country in recent weeks.But youth leader Boubekri says Algeria has one striking characteristic that other protest-roiled Arab countries do not have; the fallout of a bloody civil war in the 1990s that killed upwards of 100,000 people and continues to traumatize Algerians. It has put political militancy on hold.But today, says Said Saadi, head of the opposition RDC party, a whole new generation of young people is growing up with little memory of the 1990s conflict.Still, Saadi says, these young people remain barred from any kind of political participation. Young people are not going to mobilize if they do not get help and training - if there is no political dynamic to motivate them.Communications Minister Nacer Mahel describes a series of measures the government is introducing to improve opportunities for Algeria's youth. They include incentives to get young people into farming and to start their own businesses.Mahel says the government is aware it needs to establish better lines of communication with young people and get them involved in the political process.Youth activist Boubekri is also planning to get young people more involved politically. He outlines plans to get youth mobilized, neighborhood by neighborhood.Boubekri says political activists like himself are telling young people not to listen to the political establishment. He says it is up to them to change Algeria and they need to follow their convictions.

|African Barrick Sees Lowest Gold Output Since London Listing
by Thomas Biesheuvel, Bloomberg
February 14th, 2013
African Barrick Gold Plc, the Tanzania-focused producer of the precious metal, forecast the lowest output since its shares began trading in London in 2010 amid a review of operations to cut costs.
The company targets production of 540,000 ounces to 600,000 ounces of gold in 2013, a drop of as much as 14 percent from last years figure of 626,212 ounces. Costs will be $925 to $975 an ounce, it said in a statement today. The stock fell 11 percent to 302 pence by the close, the lowest since it listed in London.
African Barrick has been dogged by operational setbacks since it was spun off from Toronto-based Barrick Gold Corp., and has struggled to meet production targets. The company is reviewing its operations to cut costs that have ballooned by 67 percent since 2010.
Another disappointing result from a serial disappointer, Numis Securities Ltd. said in a note to investors. Numis had predicted that the 2013 production target would be 643,000 ounces at a cost of $918 an ounce.
African Barrick is aiming for the top end of its output target, and under normal conditions its mines should produce about 600,000 ounces a year, Chief Executive Officer Greg Hawkinssaid in a telephone interview. The company will produce about 650,000 ounces in 2014 after an expansion at its Bulyanhulu mine. Output may increase to about 700,000 ounces in 2015, Hawkins said.
African Barrick reported full-year net income of $59.5 million compared with $274.9 million a year earlier. Sales fell 11 percent to $1.09 billion, the London-based company said.
Barrick Gold ended talks last month to sell its 74 percent stake in African Barrick to China National Gold Group Corp. Barricks plan to dispose of its holding has not gone away completely, Hawkins said.

The Douglas TBD-1 Devastator was designed as a torpedo bomber for the USN and entered service in 1937. The TBD Devastator marked a lot of firsts for the USN. It was the first widely-used carrier-based monoplane, first all metal USN aircraft, first completely enclosed cockpit that stretched almost half the length of the fuselage, first hydraulic folding wings. When bombing the bombardier would lie under the pilot seat and look through a window in the floor to doing his sighting.

SkyMax's 1:72 scale TBD Devastator is a well made model constructed almost entirely from diecast metal. The large solid metal wing features simulated corrugated surfaces and a masterfully replicated fairing that blends the wing almost seamlessly into the fuselage. The unusually large greenhouse canopy is removable providing an unobstructed view of interior features like the pad-printed instrument panel, flight controls, ADF antenna and rear mounted machine gun. Engine details such as pushrod housings and cylinder head cooling fins can be seen inside the engine cowling. Releases in this series feature a variety or ordnance configurations such as a removable torpedo and wing mounted bombs (see photos).

23-Year-Old Takes Oath As Teaneck Councilman
By Don Stancavish, Staff Writer
(From: The Record, November 19, 1997, Wednesday, Page L-7)
Elie Katz, 23, a lifelong Teaneck resident, was sworn in Tuesday as the youngest member of the Township Council in recent memory. But don't expect him to be simply a voice for his generation.
"I'm going to be a voice for everyone," Katz said on Tuesday. "Agewise, I'm 23. But my peers are from all ages, from 17 to 74. One of my closest friends is a 74-year-old man.
"To me, it has never been a determining factor in my life. To some people, it's an excuse. Not for me."
Katz, a restaurateur who owns Chopstix Chinese Take-Out and the Royal Bakery, both of Teaneck, edged Geraldine Singer two weeks ago to capture a seat left vacant by the resignation of Gary Fiedler.
The term ends in June 1998, at which time Katz will have to run again to retain the seat.
Mayor Paul Ostrow welcomed Katz to the council by recounting his record of volunteerism in Teaneck.
"He has participated in more municipal and township activities from age 16 to age 23 that most people have accomplished in a lifetime," said Ostrow. "I think that that energy will translate into an intelligent and sensitive public servant."
Ostrow added that Katz is the youngest member of the council since at least the 1950s, and possibly the youngest council member in township history.
Katz, who has a degree in business management from Touro College in New York City, is a member of the Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the Teaneck Community Relations Advisory Board, and the Teaneck Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, he is a trustee of the Teaneck Police Department's Crime Stoppers unit.
Katz said one of his first priorities is to boost volunteerism in town.
"One of the biggest complaints is that people don't get involved in the community," he said. "I want to get people more active."

Rapper and film star Shaquille O'Neal is also known to have dabbled in basketball. We kid! Still, it's Shaq's current role as an involved father that grabbed our attention when the retired NBA all-star was on hand to co-host a Tupperware event to boost awareness for the Boys and Girls Club.
The four-time league champion, who recounts his childhood in the memoir "Shaq Uncut," credits the club with keeping him off the rough streets of Newark, NJ, and keeping serious about basketball.
The child of an abusive father, O'Neal holds no grudges against the man who would regularly discipline him. But in this interview with Parenting, he says he has opted for a gentler approach with his own five kids. It must be working: earlier this year the National Father's Day Council dubbed him father of the year. "I've won a lot of awards. You know, I got an Oscar for Kazaam," he joked at the time about his cinematic debut. "But this award is among the most prestigious."
What were you like as a child?
I grew up in a really rough area in Newark, NJ, right around the time the drug game got heavy. A lot of people in my building were involved; a lot of people I knew were involved. My father always told me to be a leader and not a follower. But I was a mid-level juvenile delinquent, stealing candy bars, beating people up. Young stuff.
How does one get from there to being a champion?
The day that changed my life was my father told me 'if you do well in school, I got a surprise for you.' I came home with a couple A's, a couple B's. So we jump on a train and go to New York. We get to madison square garden and we don't have good seats. But I got to see my man Dr J. He threw it down. I said "that's what I want to do." And my father said "if that's what you want to do, get an education, stay out of trouble and go work on your game. We don't have money for babysitters. So when you get out of school, go to the Boys and Girls Club around the corner and stay there until one of us picks you up."
How did that help?
When you're at the Boys and Girls Club, you don't see that stuff on the outside; you're not subjected to it.
You're teamed up with Tupperware for this event. Seems like an odd pairing. Did you cook much as a kid?
No never. I was lucky growing up; I got 5 sisters. We had a business arrangement: they said "you keep us from the bullies, we'll make you sandwiches."
How did the experience of having so many sisters affect you, especially as a parent?
Pretty good. I grew up watching them. I lived a "Karate Kid"-style life: from New Jersey to Germany. So I get along with everybody. As a father, I've got to worry about temptations [for my kids]; I've got to worry about drugs. But not gangs.
How do you manage that?
When it comes to being a hard parent, my knob is turned all the way down. I'm a friend first. I raise my children like I run my businesses: I don't micromanage.
Any advice to dads?
Listen to your kids.
This sounds a bit softer than your own father. You've written about some of the physical abuse there growing up.
My dad was a disciplinarian. I'm glad he did it. It turned me into a well rounded individual. But again with my children, I won't be that hard on them. If my son gets a C I tell him, you better pick up your game. He knows his dad is disappointed and he'll work harder.
How's his free-throw?
It's good. You know I shot 50 percent and everybody talks about how bad I was. It's not like it was 30 or 40 percent. Fifty percent! That's one in two. One-in-two, people!

Nissan LEAF in Short Supply
- Nissan's electric LEAF in high demand across country
- Many dealers experiencing shortages
- Nissan says production will catch up this fall
The Nissan LEAF is getting hard to find. Nissan recently announced its fully electric hatchback is now in short supply thanks to rising interest from shoppers around the country.
According to Nissan, the formerly slow-selling LEAF is now finding more than 2,000 buyers per month -- a big number for any specialty car, especially an electric vehicle. The sharp sales increase means some areas of the country don't have enough LEAF units to meet demand.
"We're going to be short on inventory all through the summer," said Erik Gottfried, Nissan's director of electric vehicle sales and marketing, in Automotive News. "It will be late fall before we can produce enough to satisfy everybody."
While Nissan hasn't commented on reasons behind the increase in demand, most industry insiders would agree Nissan's lease deals play a big part. Over the last few months, Nissan has offered the LEAF for just $199 per month after $1,999 due at lease signing. That price -- coupled with the fact that the LEAF never requires gasoline -- has made LEAF ownership an easy choice for many car shoppers.
So why does Nissan not build more LEAF units to meet demand? Nissan says its recently completed U.S. production facility is not yet ramped up to full capacity. As a result, production has not yet reached the 150,000-unit annual figure the plant will soon deliver. When the factory catches up, Nissan may finally be able to align LEAF supply with demand.
The LEAF debuted in late 2010 for the 2011 model year. Initially starting around $36,000, the LEAF added a lower-priced, base-level S model for 2013. That brought prices under $30,000 and enabled Nissan to offer such enticing lease deals.
What it means to you: With supplies dwindling, it may be harder to get a good deal on a Nissan LEAF this summer if you're buying rather than leasing.

I noticed something strange as I drove down the tree-lined country road wending south from US 290 toward the bucolic town of Round Top. Though I've made this trip dozens of times, today there was one striking anomaly: The time-worn number "77" indicating the town's population on the city-limits sign had been repainted to read "90."
Times must be changing in small- town Texas.
As I approached Bybee Square, the city's first business and recreational plaza, I wondered what else might have changed in Round Top. After all, the town is roughly equidistant from three of the state's largest cities—Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Tourists flock here year-round, and more than 100,000 people come here each year solely to attend Round Top's famous spring and fall antiques fairs.
But I breathed a sigh of relief as I arrived at the same four-block "downtown" square I remembered, with its many shops, art galleries, and restaurants. I smiled to see the small crowd lingering on the porch of Royers Café, whose outrageously delicious pies have garnered praise from such authorities as celebrity homemaker Martha Stewart and foodies at The New York Times. (I can vouch for them, too—especially the "Texas Trash" version, a sweet-and-savory mix of chocolate chips, pecans, pretzels, coconut, and graham crackers.)
Despite cultural boons like antiques fairs and events at Festival Institute, Round Top has resisted major development, allowing visitors to enjoy the same tranquil setting experienced a half-century ago.
So some things remain constant. But change is afoot in tiny Round Top, including the transformation of Henkel Square, a collection of 19th-Century pioneer structures that once served as a living-history museum, into a shopping and dining destination.
The historic properties, built by some of the area's first German settlers, are still here. But in recent years they've been modernized with new paint jobs and amenities like central air and heat, and they now house an assortment of boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and other local businesses, including the Round Top Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center. Here, too, are full-service venue spaces, like the restored 19th-Century Haw Creek Church; and the new Henkel Hall, an 8,000-square-foot event space that is popular for weddings and other gatherings.
Now known collectively as Henkel Square Market, the structures are surrounded by manicured gardens and connected by crushed-gravel pathways. I'm happy to see that visitors can still immerse themselves in history—especially the early settlers' architectural legacy—thanks to such preserved elements as original oak floors and cedar woodwork.
Round Top, established in 1870, has evolved into a weekend getaway for nearby urban dwellers. It's an identity that was first cultivated in the 1960s by a group of influential philanthropists, art collectors, and preservationists from Houston, including Ima Hogg—the daughter of Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg—and her friends Hazel Ledbetter and Faith Bybee.
In 1959, with the goal of preserving Round Top's heritage and historic architecture, the three began purchasing and preserving Round Top properties and introducing the arts—theater, music, and antiques—to town. Hogg, who had collected early American art and antiques in Houston since the 1920s, encouraged local antiques dealer Emma Lee Turney to establish an annual show; today, the biannual fairs are two of the town's most popular draws. And in 1968, Faith Bybee and her husband founded the Texas Pioneer Arts Foundation, which restored historic area homes and relocated them to central locations like Henkel Square.
The whistle-stop of a town provided the perfect place for Houstonians eager to escape the big city. But Hogg and her coterie saw much more in Round Top than its sylvan charm. They saw the perfect platform for a cultural and fine-arts outpost.
In the late 1960s, Hogg donated a 19th-Century barn on the outskirts of Round Top to serve as the performance space for Shakespeare at Winedale, a University of Texas-affiliated program dedicated to summertime performances of the Bard's work. She also supported concert pianist James Dick, who in 1971 founded the Round Top Festival Institute, an inter-nationally acclaimed fine arts campus. Visitors to Round Top today shouldn't miss a stroll through the Festival Institute's beautifully landscaped flower and herb gardens, and if the timing is right, a concert in the handcrafted Festival Concert Hall.
But despite cultural boons like the antiques fairs and the Festival Institute's many classical music and poetry festivals, Round Top has resisted major development, allowing visitors to enjoy the same peaceful setting experienced a half-century ago.
Those seeking tranquility in Round Top will find it everywhere, it seems—including at my favorite bed and breakfast in Texas, a 46-acre retreat known as The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell.
I first visited The Prairie in 2010, soon after British interior designer Rachel Ashwell bought a small operation known as The Outpost and revamped its 19th-Century Texas farmstead and cottages. The modest country estate served as the ideal blank canvas for Ashwell's style, which incorporates ornate French décor with elements like corrugated metal and chandeliers made of deer antlers. The lush grounds feature mature pecans, cedars, live oaks, and palm trees amid flowerbeds flush with seasonal roses and wildflowers. There are now three one-bedroom cottages available for rent, along with two larger houses, plus a renovated barn that often hosts weekend workshops and events.
I can imagine Round Top's pioneering patronesses wandering around here, past trees draped in vines, browsing slipcovers or pastel-colored glassware in the onsite boutique, or perhaps simply reveling in the nearly pristine landscape. After all, Round Top still boasts a certain old-fashioned sleepiness. Some shops are closed during the first half of the week, for example, and restaurants tend to close when business is light. And pie is practically a required course at every meal.
In fact, Royers Round Top Café, which operates a full-service restaurant on Main Street, has expanded with a new pie-and-coffee bar at Henkel Square
Market. People even queue up in the mornings for breakfast options like "Not My Mom's Apple Pie," the café's version of a "breakfast pie."
No matter the calorie count: Breakfast pie is the perfect fuel for a languid afternoon of exploring Round Top's boutiques, antiques shops, and art galleries. On a recent trip, I found myself attracted to a painted Styrofoam dinosaur head at a shop called Lizzie Lou's. Debating whether I could find a place for it in my home in Austin, I resisted the urge and strolled instead to admire the locally made jewelry at The Gallery at Round Top. I spoke with co-owner Ken Muenzenmayer about the new energy I'd noticed in town, and I mentioned the new city-limits marker.
He paused for a moment and then said with a laugh, "Yep, we've got ourselves a real population explosion."

Nick Clegg's gamble over tuition fee apology
Some of his advisers told him not to do it. They warned him that it would only remind people of something they were just beginning to forget. They feared it would overshadow anything they did now.
Nick Clegg thought differently. He decided that the only possible hope of redemption was through confession - to admit that he'd made an election promise he knew he had little, if any, chance of delivering.
The truth is, if anything, more stark. The Lib Dem leadership regarded their policy of scrapping student fees as unaffordable. They tried but failed to persuade their party to drop it. They decided not to push for it in any coalition negotiations (as is confirmed in Rob Wilson's book on the Coalition). Nevertheless, they decided it was an irresistible vote winner so they pledged to deliver the impossible.
The Lib Dem leader believes that his party is on a journey from the opportunism of permanent opposition to the responsibility of being a governing party. It is a journey which the voters will re-join him on if, and only if, they believe he has learnt from his mistakes.
That's why he has decided to 'fess up now.
