I'm worried about walking into a class by myself for the first time?
Don't be, join us, you won't be alone for more than the time it takes you to get from the door to the hall. I take pride in my classes being friendly and suitable for all. If you have never done Zumba® before then don't worry, I will give you a quick run-down on what happens at a Zumba® class.
How can I get the most out of my Zumba class?
Basically, GO FOR IT!!! As you get used to the moves and routines you will be able to put in more effort. Remember that the more effort you put into your Zumba® class, the more you will get out of it. Feel free to sing along, shout, whoop at us, anything goes, add your own funky moves, go nuts!!! The more you go for it, the more calories you will burn. Simples!!!

Many companies have big decisions to make about their health benefits in the wake of health care reform. The Wall Street Journal takes a close look at how that will play out for various employers, including Dots LLC, the women's clothing chain based in Glenwillow. Dots "projects that its health costs could go up by around a third because of the law," The Journal reports. "That is largely because only about 55% of the employees who are currently eligible for health benefits take the coverage, and the retailer thinks that share could jump sharply." Joanna Curran, benefits and payroll manager at Dots, tells The Journal that the company has been preparing for that increase for two years, trimming its costs with moves such as boosting workers' premium contributions and putting new employees into a more basic health plan. "In coming months, Dots' top executives will have to decide what else to do. One possibility: more cost-sharing for employees," the newspaper adds. "Dots also will consider more strictly enforcing existing limits on the hours of a small group of part-timers who occasionally go over 30 a week today, to avoid the complexity of having workers bounce back and forth into the law's definition of full-time status." Ms. Curran notes, "We are facing the fact that we are going to have to spend more money." But Dots won't drop its coverage because it would hurt recruitment and retention of employees, she says.
Health care reform puts Dots on the spot
Savvy about money: Forbes.com offers some tips for cutting college expenses, and one section of the piece involves a sharp young man who attended Cuyahoga Community College. Robert Villwock, 27, "found a way to knock $42,000" off the cost of his degree in business and economics by spending the first four semesters of his college career at Tri-C, Forbes.com notes. He then transferred to Ohio University in Athens to finish his school work. "The transfer scheme works only in some states and only for students who get good enough grades to be admitted to the brand-name university," according to the website. Then this part is fun: A year after graduating, Villwock was a bartender at a Ruby Tuesday. A customer ordering a cheesecake lamented what cholesterol would do to his life span and said, "But in the long run we're all dead." Villwock piped in: "John Maynard Keynes couldn't have said it better." The customer, curious how a bartender would know who Keynes was, found out enough to offer the young man a job at his financial consulting firm in Akron. Villwock leveraged the consulting experience, and some networking with Ohio U. alumni, into a still better job. He's now a compensation specialist at Towers Watson in Washington, D.C. Good thinking: The Cleveland Indians have done a deal with a Cincinnati company — but it's not the Reds. A company called ThinkVine, a maker of marketing software, has added the Indians as a customer. "The firm's specialized software for baseball will help the club, part of Major League Baseball's American League, to adjust its marketing based on league standings or other factors," Mark Battaglia, CEO of ThinkVine, tells The Business Courier of Cincinnati. Deal terms were not disclosed. Collusion?: A Spokane, Wash.-based company is suing several professional sports teams — including the Indians — for breach of contract. The Spokesman-Review in Washington state reports that Vizant Technologies LLC, formerly known as P.E. Systems, recently filed lawsuits in Spokane County Superior Court against the Indians, the Detroit Lions, the Chicago White Sox and others. Vizant advises businesses on how to lower the cost of accepting electronic payments. "Under the company's standard agreement, the client must pay a consulting fee of 50 percent of all savings if it decides to implement Vizant's program," according to the newspaper. "If the client chooses not to implement the program but still realizes some program savings, the client is obligated to pay the same consulting fee on the savings for 24 months." Nicholas D. Kovarik, of Spokane-based Piskel Yahne Kovarik PLLC, which is representing Vizant, tells the Spokesman-Review that the companies all stopped paying in the same time frame and may be working together. "We think there's some conversation going on behind the scenes," he said of the sports teams. "The theme that's running through these is the bigger companies don't believe they need to pay, or if they don't pay, they're going to get a discount or a break. It's just a classic not following through with your promise." Sad but true: There's a spot-on comment from Cleveland City Councilman Mike Polensek in this Reuters story about homicide rates in various U.S. cities. In some cities, including New York, murder rates are dropping fast, while Chicago and Detroit are seeing big spikes. Cleveland, unfortunately, is among the latter. The city had 97 murders in 2012, up from 74 in 2011 and 84 in 2010. With a population of 393,816, that works out to 1 murder for every 4,060 people, Reuters notes. "I attribute it to young men with low IQs carrying big guns," Mr. Polensek tells the news service. "It is just the reality of it." In four more years … Here's more evidence that Ohioans will continue to be barraged by political ads during presidential election seasons. Bloomberg crunches some numbers from the 2012 election and finds that in just four states — Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia — was the winning candidate's margin of victory less than 5 percentage points. That was the smallest number of states below that threshold since 1984, when three states were within 5 points amid Ronald Reagan's 18-point victory in the popular vote over Democrat Walter Mondale, according to Bloomberg. The story notes that President Barack Obama is the first president to achieve 51% of the popular vote in two elections since Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who did it in 1952 and 1956. Read all about it: The e-reader era just arrived, but now it might be ending, and people like Julie Curtis of Stow might be to blame. That sounds much too harsh. Let me explain. The Wall Street Journal reports that market researcher IDC recently estimated 2012 global shipments of e-readers — Kindles and Nooks, primarily — at 19.9 million units, down 28% from 27.7 million units in 2011. By contrast, IDC says, there were 122.3 million tablets — iPads, Kindle Fires, Nexus 7s, etc. — shipped last year. In short, many people who want to read e-books rather would do so reading on tablets than dedicated e-readers. Also, "One problem is that some users who bought e-readers see no particular urgency to buy another," The Journal reports. Ms. Curtis, a substance-abuse counselor, tells the newspaper she is devoted to her two-year-old Kindle. "It works fine, I really have no reason to get a new one," she says. But she adds, "If I did ever want to upgrade, it would probably be to a tablet, like the Kindle Fire." True stories: If you're a fan of graphic novels, this best-of-2012 list compiled by The AV Club includes a couple nonfiction choices with Northeast Ohio ties. The first one is indeed graphic: It's cartoonist John "Derf" Backderf's "My Friend Dahmer," a memoir about growing up as a classmate in the Akron area of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The book "describes how Derf and his buddies became 'fans' of Dahmer's quirky behavior, though none of them knew what Dahmer was up to when he returned to his broken home," The AV Club says. "Derf chillingly illustrates the superficiality of most high-school relationships, where the people involved are so absorbed in their own lives that they fail to see the desperate characters who dwell among them." At No. 4 on the nonfiction list is "Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me," by the late Harvey Pekar and JT Waldman. It's "structured like a long conversation taking place over the course of one day in Cleveland, in which the two men explore the origins and consequences of Zionism," according to The AV Club.

a light Blue Shirt dress
Added Nov 15, 2009
by ink
Beaufort , South...
A light cotton shirt dress. I used this pattern that has a series
of shirts.
I would like to make another one with more interesting fabric and
pipe out the back and front yoke.
I made up the front frill thingy. I only had two and a half yards of
fabric and did not align the yoke pieces along the grain as suggested.
I don't know what will happen !!! Yipes.
Also, I had very little fabric left for the sleeves and belt and sort of
did my own pattern I guess!

Nov 15, 2009, 10.08 PMby kquade

A special issue of the McGill Journal of Education (vol. 42, no. 2) focusing on evolution education is now freely available on-line. In their preface, the issue's editors, Jason Wiles of McGill University and Anila Asghar of Johns Hopkins University, write:
the teaching and learning of evolution has faced difficulties ranging from pedagogical obstacles to social controversy.
The following is a press release, dated October 17, 2007, from People for the American Way.
Earmark for Anti-Science Creationist Group Must Be Removed
People For the American Way today called for the Senate to remove an earmark for an anti-science creationist group from the FY08 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education appropriations bill. The earmark, inserted by Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, would send taxpayer money to the Louisiana Family Foundation (LFF), a leading advocate of creationism in the state.
Speaking on the Senate floor on October 17, 2007, Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana) withdrew a controversial $100,000 earmark that he previously added to the appropriations bill for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. The earmark was to the Louisiana Family Forum, a religious right group with a long history of promoting creationism and attacking evolution education in the state, including backing a "strengths and weaknesses" policy in Ouachita Parish.
In its new official statement on evolution, adopted on March 28, 2007, the California Academy of Sciences reaffirmed that "Evolution is a central concept in modern science, including biology, geology, and astronomy.
In the October 2007 issue of Discover magazine, Liza Lentini examines the creationism/evolution controversy, with a focus on teachers. She begins in Kansas, with a pair of teachers at private Christian schools who use textbooks that "present the universe as the direct creation of God and refute the man-made idea of evolution" and think that "The term 'evolution' is misused. ...

My 14-year-old daughter, Sophie, is an indiscriminate reader. I don't mean in terms of what she reads — her taste ("Twilight," "Pretty Little Liars") is quite specific — but how: She moves from print to digital, phone to
I have to tell you that I love this, and not only because I love her. No, it's the fluidity that attracts me, the flexibility, the notion that she is oblivious to the boundaries, a digital native for whom "either/or" is irrelevant in a world where the more interesting and engaging choice is "and/both."
A certain blurring of the lines has been a hallmark of my reading this year also, albeit in a different way from Sophie. Although I spent more time than ever in 2012 looking at screens, the vast majority of my reading is still of the print on paper variety, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
As we move beyond the flashpoint of a few years ago, when everyone was obsessing about "the future of reading," we see more and more that we don't have to make a choice. Print isn't going anywhere, and neither is digital, and that, to my mind, is a fine thing because the more options there are for reading, the more readers there will be.
These options aren't only about hardware but also about content, as my 2012 reading goes to show. Many of the titles I found compelling were those that asked me to think about the act of reading: how I do it, what it means.
In "Building Stories" (Pantheon:boxed, unpaged, $50) graphic novelist Chris Ware demolished the very idea of the book, offering an oversized box containing 14 related comics that could be put together in any order: a meditation on both the way stories get constructed, and the collaborative relationship between writer (or artist) and reader. ("Literature," as Kurt Vonnegut once said, "is the only art in which the audience performs the score.")
"Building Stories" blurs a different set of boundaries also, between low- and high-tech. Its components come in a range of shapes and sizes, pamphlet to broadsheet; without advances in print technology, it would have been impossible to produce affordably. Here we see another way the digital revolution opens our expectations, offering not only new forms, new delivery systems, but expanding on the old. With "Building Stories," Ware brings it all together: terrific storytelling, creative packaging and real interaction between reader and narrative.
Of course, there are boundaries and there are boundaries, and one I've long found fascinating has to do with the line between truth and imagination. Eduardo Halfon's novel (or is it a memoir?) "The Polish Boxer" (Bellevue Literary Press, $14.95 paper) addressed this directly, telling of a writer named Eduardo Halfon whose grandfather survived
In "The Lifespan of a Fact" (W.W. Norton, $17.95), author John D'Agata and fact checker Jim Fingal took this even further, reconstructing their email correspondence about D'Agata's 2010 Believer essay "What Happens There," which took extensive liberties in describing the suicide of a Las Vegas teenager. The point is that all writing, of whatever genre, is constructed, which means we never know "objective" truth. It's a position that almost requires a reaction; like "Building Stories," "The Lifespan of a Fact" asks us to participate, to talk back.
In many ways, that has as much to do with the times in which we live as it does with books such as "Building Stories," "The Polish Boxer" or "The Lifespan of a Fact." So this year, for the holidays, I'm taking a page out of Sophie's book and giving myself over to the ebb and flow.

IT Office of Technology Services (OTS) has rolled out a new tool
for the myIIT portal that allows individuals who forget their
portal password to reset it themselves, rather than going through
the OTS Support Desk. This new tool requires individuals
to set up two secret questions and answers. When the
questions are answered correctly, users will have the ability
to reset their own password and access the portal.
The tool was activated on at 9:30 pm on Friday, January 8.
Upon logging into the portal for the first time after
activation, users will be prompted to set their secret questions
before accessing their myIIT account.
Users who have already set up their portal secret questions will
not need to take any action.
Adding this level of security will allow users to access IIT
technology services 24/7, even if they forget their password.
Contact OTS with any questions.
Please note that student printing at Chicago-Kent is separate
from the process used on Main Campus - you should not use the
IIT Printing Channel in the my.iit.edu portal. If you have used
the channel to add money for printing, please contact Nancy
Caruson at email@example.com for a refund.
At Chicago-Kent, students receive credit for 400 pages worth
of free printing per semester; any printing beyond 400 pages
is charged at a rate of $0.07 per page.
All Chicago-Kent printing – both free and charged – is
managed by the Law School's own printing system. You can
add money to your account at the station located in the 9th
floor photocopy room in the Library.
General maintenance is performed weekly. Hardware
and software maintenance activities on the Law School's technology
resources will begin from 9:30pm on Friday through 8:00am on
Saturday. Periodic interruptions to Chicago-Kent services may
occur during this time as work is conducted on servers, network
hardware, and other key systems.
Chicago-Kent College of Law utilizes certain administrative systems
such as Banner Student and the my.iit.edu portal service which are
located at the Illinois Institute of Technology Main Campus. The
IIT Office of Technology Services (OTS) conducts various maintenance
activities during the identical weekly maintenance period of 9:30pm
on Friday through 8:00am on Saturday. Periodic service interruptions
of IIT-hosted services may occur during this time.

The Motorola Atrix 4G is certainly one of the most exciting handsets to come out of CES. Since Motorola and Verizon have done a great job marketing their DROID branded devices, we're glad to see that Motorola will be pushing their AT&T-bound handset just as hard.
Motorola's short ad does an extremely good job of conveying just how much power the Atrix 4G has with its dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. But that's not the whole story. The clip also gives the public a glimpse at the mobile computing capabilities that are unique to the Atrix.
I know Taylor has mentioned that this will be his next device, but I'm still not completely sold on the Atrix. In order to take full advantage of the power inside the Motorola Atrix 4G you will need to purchase the desktop or laptop dock. Pricing on the accessories is still unknown, but we're not expecting them to be cheap. Personally, I'd rather wait to get my hands on a tablet once Honeycomb is released.

text: How to Vary Your Notifications: Set a Unique Sound for Each Type of Message The same notification sound is usually played for all incoming messages on Android by default. When you receive a message, this prevents you from hearing where it came from. When you know whether you just got an email, an SMS, an instant message on Google Talk or a couple of new tweets, you can act accordingly. The simple solution is to set a unique notification sound for each type of message, and you can even change the ringtone for individual contacts. It can be a bit tedious to find all these settings, however, so here they all are for your convenience. Please note that this guide is made with an HTC Sense device running Froyo, but the menu descriptions should apply to most Android phones. Set your standard notification sound from Settings > Sound > Notification. Change the Gmail ringtone from Gmail > Menu > More > Settings > Select ringtone. Select the Google Talk ringtone from Talk > Settings > Select ringtone. If your version of Google Talk doesn't have a notification setting, the only way to confirm its notification sound is unique, is to make sure no other apps use the default ringtone. Select the sound for incoming text and multimedia messages from Messaging > Menu > Settings > Notification sound. Handcent SMS is a popular replacement for the standard Messaging app. If you use it as well, you can change its notification sound from Handcent SMS > Menu > Settings > Notification settings > Notification settings > Notification sound. The application also lets you set an individual SMS tone for each of your contacts, if you're so inclined. Just tap on a contact in the list of conversations, and press the icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Select Notification settings from the resulting pop-up menu, and then finally select Notification sound and choose a unique ringtone from the list. In Facebook for Android, you can change the notification sound from Facebook > Menu > Settings > Notification ringtone. If you set a unique ringtone for your favorite contacts, you can even hear who is calling. On HTC Sense phones, this can be done by opening the People app, tapping on a contact and selecting Ringtone in the Information category. You can obviously change the default ringtone for incoming calls as well (just to include everything) from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone. For Phones with HTC Sense Set the Calendar notification sound from Calendar > Menu > More > Settings > Reminder settings > Select ringtone. If you use HTC's own Twitter app, you can set its ringtone from Peep > Menu > More > Settings > Notification settings > Notification tone.

Look, there's nothing really wrong with Resident Evil 5 per se – in the same way that Resident Evil 4 was also awesome and solid horror-action fare.
But these last two games have felt very different – and not necessarily in a way befitting survival horror. Both titles put massive emphasis on headcounts, swarms of enemies and lots of open, outdoor environments. There aren't many moments of suspense, which means fewer scares – and in turn, you never feel like you're really fighting for your life anymore. So what happened, and what could Capcom do to return to its roots?
In RE4, the changes were refreshing and, most importantly, never at the expense of atmosphere. It added a lot of flavour with its over-the-shoulder perspective, the villages and castle settings and the non-zombie villagers. In RE5, however, things feel amiss. It lacks tension, thrills and focus. It's still a really great action game – but it's not Resident Evil.
Bring Back Zombies
It might seem obvious – but zombies are still in fashion. I mean, when are they not? Left 4 Dead most recently showed that zombies can be frightening to the point of overwhelming when combined with speed and numbers. What Resi needs is to bring them back and make them memorable. Either take the Dead Rising approach and go with numbers and aggression, or make them few and far between, but memorable, difficult and unrelenting.
In the right situation, a slow, crawling zombie, clawing away at the pavement or taking swipes at you through a door, can be a truly atmospheric, frightening thing. None of this is to say that we don't love our giant, mutant moths and oozing, tendril-covered super-mutants. No. These can stay – but it needs it be used sparingly. While we're on the topic, how about introducing limb-specific damage, Capcom? Dead Space has made us hungry for limb slicing.
When it comes down to it, the villagers in RE4 were simply hoards of intelligent zombies that could throw weapons, raise ladders and displayed some surprisingly tenacious fighting abilities. To insist they're not zombies in the strictest sense might be true, but that's moving into the dangerous realm of semantics. We'd really like to see RE6 bring back the zombies, but keep some of the tactical elements and AI from RE4 and 5.
Up the Claustrophobia
Looking back at the original Resident Evil, one thing that Shinji Mikami knew, as did other masters of horror games and films, is that haunted houses are scary places - particularly old ones with lots of floors, nooks and hallways. It allowed Capcom to tightly script horrific moments - things like zombie Rottweilers bursting through a window or a zombie rounding a corner just as you enter the room. The lighting could also be controlled logically – if a room only has one bulb, right in the dead centre of the room, then it's going to cast some pretty effin' mean shadows, and nasty things hide in shadows.
These are the fundamentals of building tension – kill the music, dim the lights and make the player jumpy. After a while, gunning down villagers loses its value as a horror tool; a well-timed break in the action, coupled with strong use of contrast and minimal sound can make gamers reach for their security blankets. This raises another key element the franchise is missing...
Kill the Lights, Lock the Camera (Sometimes)
Daytime just isn't as scary as night-time. Resident Evil 4 used portions of its setting to show the passing of time – from your arrival around midday through to the late afternoon and into the evening. As the game grew closer to the end, the darker it got. It mattered a lot less by then – you were spending more and more time working your way through an impressive gothic castle anyway. The point still stands, however – night is the time of horror-making. Resident Evil 5 spends far too long in open sunlight and the atmosphere is drastically diminished.
While camera control is great for giving you the best possible angle for shooting, it also can reduce tension and cinematic effect. Therefore, we think that returning to a locked-off camera angle, set low in the corner of the room or angled from above at parts, should still occur once in a while for dramatic effect.

Whenever the Conficker worm comes up here on OSNews (or any other site for that matter) there are always a number of people who point their fingers towards Redmond, stating that it's their fault Conifcker got out. While Microsoft has had some pretty lax responses to security threats in the past, it handled the whole Conficker thing perfectly, releasing a patch even before Conficker existed, and pushing it through Windows Update. In any case, this made me wonder about Linux distributions and security. What if a big security hole pops up in a Linux distribution - who will the Redmond-finger-pointing people hold responsible?

Um. Exactly. My friend was the end-user, and I was saying I should have been more informative. Thus, it's not the end-users fault.
Where do we disagree?

We disagree when you claim in you original analogy that it isn't the end-users fault that he refuses to install updates (the analogy I made with the software company was an attempt to try and get my head around your analogy that has nothing to do with my original post).
Even if the end user weren't an expert - the major news stations have been running articles on how to make sure you're not infected, installing updates, how to get in contact with Microsoft etc; so it wasn't as though the information was being hidden in the IT media where only a small niche are interested in listening to.
What you seem to be hell bent on doing is attempting to create and argument that all end user problems sit at the feet of Microsoft - ignoring the fact that you as an end user have a responsibility to maintain your computer, just like a car or any other piece of machinery.
A computer isn't some sort of magical device that mysteriously does something. A computer is a glorified calculator that controlled by software written by fallible humans and because of this fallibility one needs receives updates to correct those problems. If you as the end user choose not to engage in the most basic understanding of running Windows update and getting informed of what could go wrong - why is it Microsofts fault?

But a complete withdrawal would indeed improve the situation alot. The Palestine could then try to build up their state, extremist groups would loose quite a bit of their support as well (provided Israel doesn't retaliate with tank and bulldozers)
About an extreme right coup : very unlikely as well : Currently the extremist parties on the right side are mostly colonist parties and their support isn't big enough to launch a coup. Besides the party currently in power (Sharon's Likud Party) is a right wing conservative one...
I think if Israel would withdraw it's troops and if they stop the retaliations with tanks and bulldozers, the real problems would be
1. Jerusalem : and solving this one is even harder, I see no easy solution to be honest
2. The economic situation of the Palestinian Territories : even if they are completely independent they have little or no natural resources of any kind, so this new independent state would be in a deep economic crisis real fast, this would ultimately lead to an unstable situation. And if you have a rich neighbour with whom you had decades of conflict, compared to your poverty, the possibility exists that extremist in the Palestine Territories will blame israel and the whole crap will start all over again.
A true solution would have to include rebuilding the Palestinian Economy in my opinion.

OK, to the guy that lambasted my initial post in here....
Europe pre-WWII was not exactly the friendliest of places for jews. Attitudes towards jews in europe have been well documneted over the ages, you can even see it in literature, and it existed well before WWII going back hundereds of years. After WWII that seemed to soften drastically, perhaps due to the shock of what Nazi Germany did to them. But the facts are all there, and israel was born partly out of the want to find permanent homes for displaced european jews without nations having to take them back.
Now, going back to today......anti-semetism is on the rise in europe. Statistics put out by your own EU shows that attacks on jews/jewish institutions in europe have spiked dramatically as of late, especially in france, germany...along with the recent unpleasantness in holland.
And as far as sharon being the real terrorist; i can understand why you may not like the Israeli gov't, but understand that the Israeli gov't hasn't been strapping bombs to their citizens and sending them into crowded shopping plazas, pizza parlors, and cafes to blow up Palestinian women and children. Arafat has been doing this since at least the 70s. God only knows how much israeli blood is on his hands, and he will ultimately be the one who punishes him for it. Have fun in hell, Yasser.

I think the best thing to do right now is to take a look at the map of that region.
I think the only true solution is to have a very strong leader to unite the Arab world into one big country. Unfortunetly, that's not going to happen.
Remember Sharon is the guy that uses Jets to shoot at buildings. Quick air strikes. And the CIA trains gurrellias to overthrow goverments. I don't know how to exactly label terrorism if it's in a middle of a war.

As for the economic crisis that would develop, ideally, the israelis should put up some financial aid, but most likely they'd say screw them, why should we help the people that were killing us. Other islamic nations would probably also do little, saying they got their country back and should stop complaining. The US would also probably take a screw you approach, but still send a little money. The vast majority of the resources for rebuilding would probably come from Europe, but there's the possibility that they'd say it's the israeli's problem and not do much either. In short the palestinians would probably be largely on their own, but it still wouldn't be an impossible task, just almost impossible...
Actually, the best solution I can think of would be for the palestinians to give up on their ideas of an independent homeland and instead work toward israeli citizenship. Of course that would be completely unacceptable to both sides, but it does have the best outcome that I can see.
Personally I don't see why that land is considered holy. I mean if it really was, wouldn't it somehow be better? It's sad to think about all those lives lost over the centuries for land that, for the most part, is little more than a barren wasteland, just because important religious leaders happened to be born there.

First of all : both parties would have to stop the fighting, otherwise talking just isn't possible. A good start would be Sharon's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, he could then offer at the new palestinian leaders, (and I say leaderS,since this isn't a job a single palestinian leder should handle) a cease-fire/peace talk proposal.
But even if the fighting would stop it won't be that easy.
- concerning the negotiations it is obvious that Israel has the stronger position, therefore I think the US should push Israel to be more open to negotiations and concessions if needed, a neutral US would certainly help but (I could be wrong, but this is my impression) the US is more pro Israel.
- then there is the problem of the palestine representation, the best thing would be a small group that represents the different factions present. However Israel would have to want to talk to them.
- Assuming they do find a way to solve everything, UN Peace Keepers are almost a must have, Their purpose? They should be deployed mostly in Palestinian Territories to maintain the peace and to help build up a state, european troops would probably be best for this job imo.
- The peace plan MUST have a way to solve the economical situation, without all solutions would be in vain. This of course implies that palestinians would be ablle to work in Israel again, and opening trade between Israel and Palestina would certainly help
If Palestina and Israel can set up some kind of mutual beneficial trade organisation that would take away alot of reasosn to hate/attack each other. This off course would imply a rather heavy investment into Palestina at first
However, what I fear the most is that Israel will use the current situation to start up a "divide and rule" strategy, playing out different palestians leaders (who each on their own aren't powerful enough) and taking full control.

This even led to a controversy once Sharon claimed the money was being used for terrorism. After that The EU installed a controlling device to see where the money was going to make sure it didn't end in the wrong hands.
In fact the EU is actually in favor or sending more aid if that would contribute to a real solution of the problem.

Finally as for the holy grail, wasn't it supposedly taken to europe during the crusades? I've heard two stories about that. one with the knights templar taking it and eventually burying it somewhere in southern france as their order was being persecuted. The other has Richard the lion hearted taking it back to england, where it eventually found its way to america and is currently sitting in the back room of a museum in New York.

Wow, another thread where opinion is fiercely divided and, oddly enough, the same people seem to be on the same sides.
I think Arafat was a fascinating character and his history, as well as the events that unfolded around him, are extremely complex, open to a huge amount of debate and interpretation. He was determined, but also stubborn and inflexible. He possibly had very good intentions, but less commendable methods. Perhaps he believed the ends justified the means, or that revenge was as important as progress. I don't think the case is closed on Arafat by any means and I'm sure we will learn more things about him as time goes by and secrets leak out. He was a three-dimensional character who can't necessarily be summed up in a poorly punctuated, single paragraph post on an internet forum.
There's a saying that "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" and I'm not sure if Arafat giving people hope was always a good thing - if that hope and that enthusiasm leads them to acts of violence and retaliation then it's not always a positive thing. I think what Arafat desired and did was often quite different from what he inspired others to ask for or to do and, of course, he didn't necessarily represent everyone who claimed to be inspired by him. Nevertheless, many people saw him as fighting for a deserved and just freedom, and I can understand why he was so warmly received by so many people, including the UN, who, way back in 1967, had passed Security Council Resolution 242, asking for the "withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict." So much for that, then. Like so many other problems in the Middle East, this one has grown and grown. You could say some of the root causes date back to the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1918, where Britian and France promised Arabs, who were revolting against the Ottoman Empire, their own lands. What actually happened was that Britain and France divided the area as they saw fit and also, with the Balfour Declaration, leant the international Zionist movement their support in creating a 'Jewish homeland in Palestine'. The middle east has been screwed over many times by the West, no wonder there's so much anti-Western sentiment.
I find it ironic that Israel has always condemned right-wing Islamic fundamentalist groups and their behaviour in the region, yet are now under the rule of a much more right-wing leader (of a 'left wing' party) and were unable to prevent the actions of Jewish fundamentalists in assassinating Rabin in 1995 that hampered the peace process considerably. Both sides can be just as bad as each other and exasperate their own problems (Israeli helicopters attacking Palestinain police stations when Israel is asking the Palestinians to better control the proliferation of weapons and explosives? When they don't have any police officers left? Palestinian soldiers firing rockets at Israeli townships and so causing the inevitable tank excursions looking for terrorists and firing at anything that moves?), but how that behaviour filters through the media to our newspapers and televisions can vary considerably. It's inevetable that the wealthier, more powerful side in any dispute has a better equipped media with stronger presence, perhaps leading to an unintentional bias. And, of course, nobody likes to believe that their country or their allies are the ones in the wrong.
If only it were like Star Wars, where the only people the religious terrorists killed were the white-clad stormtroopers.

OK, so you don't like bush. But Bush didn't order the United States military to go indiscriminantly kill innocent men, women and children. You know who DID do that, though? Yassir Arafat. Bush will be judged if he has indeed committed a "sin". But I know for DAMN sure that the intentional and cowardly murder of civilian non-combatants is one. Burn in hell, Arafat.
Saddam Hussein kills thousands of his own people a year, and i forget the estimated number of Iraqi citizens that were either killed or went "missing" during the rule of the Ba'ath party, but its a staggering amount. The number of iraqi incidental casualties as a result of this invasion pales in comparison to the amount killed by saddam's party, by saddam himself, or the number that surely would have lost their lives had they been allowed to continue. Its funny that people tend to ignore that.
But anyways, nice try trying to derail a thread about ARAFAT into a "Bush is evil, America = MURDERERS" one. This thread is about ARAFAT. He's a Terrorist, he's dead, the world is a better F'n place.

Arafat diverted money donated by foreign countries' tax-payers to his wife who lived in Paris. something like $100000-200000 per month.
he financed terrorism (while simultaniously being a Nobel Peace laureate and smiling for the European cameras and press writing ass-licking op-eds about him being the champion of peace)
he did not finance a single housing-unit for "his people" with a) his personal fortune, and b) international donations (read: his personal fortune)
being a senile terrorist would be bad for public image, had the world press not treated him like a sweetheart. who knows why he needed over a billion dollars for himself... why 200 million wasn't enough... and who knows why he didn't spend it on his people... but wait. the Guardian, NYT and CBS will think of something

Your reply has nothing to do with Arafat, you just want to criticize the united states.
Rwanda - WHERE IS THE UNITED NATIONS?
Cambodia - WHERE IS THE UNITED NATIONS?
Its not just the US that doesn't care about them. You, and the rest of the world, don't care about them. So don't give me that BS. If it were otherwise there'd be an arseload of UN Peackeepers there. Where are they???? We don't care about them because the Rwandan government has no capacity to hurt the United States or support terrorists. The Khmer Rouge are a bunch of gunmen that hide out in the wilderness of cambodia, they aren't going to hurt us either. Nice try with the death penalty crap as well. IMO, the death penalty isn't applied ENOUGH. It seems that you want to argue about everything else OTHER than arafat. I wonder why that is. Is it perhaps because, gasp, you CANT? The mods should just close this damn thread. Its pointless because some of you refuse to stay on topic, and just degenerate into US-bashing in your defense of this Monster.
Having Bush re-elected was worth it, if only just to see the whining and crying of people like you. Keep it up, it warms my cold, black, evil republican soul.

Your arguement before was that the reason why we attack Iraq was because we care for the ppl of Iraq, and you wanted to put human atrocity down because of what Saddam did to his ppl. I counter your arguement saying that if we are so into helping against human astrocity what about these other countries with Genocide. Lol you know how many U.N resolution Israel broke? But you don't want to hear that. Arafat did what he can to fight for his country, in which he was chased out from. Palestine does not have the U.S weapons Israel does, so they resort to doing something that they feel works. Do I support there action, no. But I can understand where Arafat comes from. You would do the same if you were pushed into the corner. lol I like how you republicans seems to understand what god really when Jesus clearly speak of peace and compassion, and hey heres one forgiveness. Death penalty implement more, there something you would never hear out of the mouth of Jesus too.

I am so thrilled for two online endeavors coming soon: One is genealogy flavored, the other is a flood of Bible videos being released in connection with Easter. And both are just so exciting. Plus one new citizen of the United States sings a special anthem of his new country.
Do your eyes glaze over when you hear about genealogy? Or perhaps not even that, but you feel intimidated about even knowing where to begin? Well let me be the first to tell you about Kinfolio a free service from FamilySearch.org that I got the privilege of touring.
And while it is still in preview stage, I can tell you I like what I saw. It uses a "book" interface to help users easily organize, store and find their genealogy information. It is very clean and user-friendly, and utilizes many social media tools (like Facebook, Flickr, blogs, etc.) to upload information into these personalized books. The books saved on the site remind me of online versions of "blog books" that are popular to order online scrapbooking programs. Sound cool? It is. Watch this column for more information as Kinfolio gets closer to release.
March is a few days away and with it comes an exciting flurry of Bible videos, nine in all, to be released a few at a time each Friday starting March 9. These Easter-themed videos will cover:
The Savior's entry into Jerusalem
The plotting of the priests and scribes to put Christ to death
The Last Supper
The Intercessory Prayer
Christ in Gethsemane
Peter's denial
The Savior's trial before Pilate
The scourging and Crucifixion
The laying of the Lord's body in the tomb
The Savior's Resurrection
What's your job, besides enjoying and being inspired by these beautiful videos? The hope is that members and others will share them across the world. To help facilitate that there is a new e-card feature that allows you to easily click and send. It's almost too easy. Check it out.
Finally, this man has sang the national anthem more than 100 times, but it hasn't been his national anthem. Until now. Watch as singer "Alex Boye performs the national anthem after becoming a U.S. citizen" right during the swearing in ceremony. Chills. And click on the "Show More" to get Boye's own feelings of the performance.
Now let me find other exciting blog posts from this past week in the Bloggernacle:
Power pick: Speaking of genealogy, this delightfully droll and yet beautifully remembered piece depicts the day the spark of genealogy entered this woman's life. Here's a snippet of this well-written post, in which she asks her family members if they have a family tree after seeing one for the royal family: "We haven't got 'one of these,'" explained Dad. 'Only rich people have these. Nan's mum and dad could hardly read or write, let alone write these things down. Unless Nan and Grandad can remember them, we don't know what our family's names or their dates of birth were. We don't know where they came from. Any information has been lost. Doubtless their names are recorded in church books somewhere, but we don't know where and we will never know. So yes, our family goes back to 1066 too, but because our family was poor we don't have a family tree like this one. No one knows who they were, or where or when they lived.'" And this then-8-year-old gives the spunky answer of "I'll find them" and has been finding them for 40 years. You really should just read the entire post, titled simply "The Lost."
Techie tip: I've often thought how nice it would be to have some easy-to-print and-use pages describing all the new LDS.org technological tools. Well LDSTech must have read my mind, because there are now "LDS.org Getting Started Guides Available." These handy reference pages are outlines of some of the most used tools like Calendar, Directory, Newsletter, Lesson Schedules, Leader and Clerk Resources, My Study Notebook, LDS.org, LDS Account and Mormon.org. There is also a Church Websites Overview Guide. These are perfect for the fifth Sunday lessons, YW/YM activies — or anyone wanting an overview of how the church is utilizing technology to further the work. Wow! So nice.

We already reported on the fact that updated Intel Atom chips are expected to arrive somewhere in the second half of 2009. With the Atom being Intel's only platform that's actually profitable, it makes sense for the chip maker to focus a lot of effort into improving the platform. Information provided by the usually-reliable DigiTimes points to some serious improvements making their way to Intel's Atom chip. The new chip is codenamed Pineview.

Wendy's no longer thinks a hamburger has to be 99 cents to be a deal.
The fast-food company known for its Frosty shakes and square burgers is replacing its 99-cent value menu. It's now offering a beefed up array of options called "Right Price Right Size," with items ranging from 99 cents to $1.99.
At a time when costs for meat, cheese and other ingredients are rising, the revamped menu is intended to give budget-minded diners more options, while giving Wendy's more flexibility on pricing.
The switch to the "Right Price Right Size" value menu reflects the cost pressures facing fast-food chains.
Burger King and McDonald's have already moved past the $1 price point, offering tiered value menus that go up to around $2.

Prayer for Marquette Parents
Lord, bless my parents and watch over them. Keep
them healthy and safe from all harm, and give them the
strength to love and support one another.
They have given me so much. Unfortunately, I occasionally
forget their great love for me.
Sometimes I become frustrated because I think they
do not see the growth and maturity I have experienced.
But I know they love me, and I love them dearly.
Help me to show a mature love and respect
for them. Bless them especially for all the sacrifices they
make so that I can study and live at Marquette.
Help me to become the son or daughter of whom they can
be proud, even if it is not quite the vision they have for
me. Amen.

One of the oldest, most respected professions in the world is midwifery. And yet, midwives working in developing countries often lack simple resources like electric lights and towels. Meg Wirth founded the web-based startup Maternova, which provides vital obstetric tools and information to midwives and maternity hospitals around the world. Founded in 2009, the mission-driven for-profit venture aims to use the data-dissemination powers of technology to reach maternity care workers most in need of resources, in order to combat one of the leading causes of death for women globally -- maternal mortality.
Dowser: What are Maternova's products and how do you bring in revenue?
Meg Wirth, founder: There are two main revenue streams. The first is the product for midwives and frontline providers. We sell things either individually or bundled – such as a 'Power Pak' – headlamps and a rotary mobile phone charger – so the midwife is able to see and also call for help. We have another more clinically-oriented pack.
The other revenue stream is the mapping tool that is basically software as a service. That's something people like to license. It's a data visual-mapping tool that allows a group to keep track of a set of facilities –where they are, what the quality of care is. One place we've done is in Mexico – where for Chiapas, we've done 42. The data has to come from on-the-ground organizations, so in that case it's the Safe Motherhood Committee.
Do you follow up with health care workers to see how the products have been used?
We did a lot of testing of the products, and different bundles. We got feedback from a midwife on the border of the Congo. They evaluated the paks and provided detailed feedback in English. They noted, for example that the towel we had included for the mother to deliver on would be better utilized to 'catch' the baby and warm the baby. In many cases the nurses use their own neck scarves to wipe and catch the baby.
Then our favorite story: in Haiti, the packs have become the standard gift for midwives graduating from their programs. It helps to keep midwives safe – having light and power to call when they are working in refugee camps is really critical. It's got the dual purpose of protecting these valuable women – trained midwives can be rare.
What led you to identify the need for the services Maternova provides?
I'm not a clinician or an OBGYN but I looked around and no one was doing this. I lived in a maternity hospital in Borneo (Indonesia) for six months, because I was working on a Safe Motherhood project and that's where they felt was the safest place for me to live. It's a heavily Muslim area and a single woman living alone would be seen as very strange and dangerous. So that was quite an immersion experience. I have a degree in International Development and I've worked in global public health for the past 20 years. Recently I worked for a social venture capital fund, Commons Capital, looking at the role of innovation in global health.
How do you distribute the product? How do you reach midwives and maternity hospitals?
We sell them through multiple distribution channels. One is directly to countries through organizations or governments. We also sell to groups in the U.S. or Canada that work overseas – we call those the globetrotting clinicians, the more everyday Paul Farmers of the world, and there are quite a few of them. And those are the people who are spreading skills, technologies, and new ideas. It's a very common practice for people to stuff their bags with medical supplies so we're formalizing that practice and bundling some key obstetric products together.
How much does a pak cost, and what about using the data map?
The 'power pak' is $20 – but if you buy in large volume the cost goes down.
The map service is a customized formula. It depends on where you are – if it's a U.S. based group or in Sierra Leone, there's a different price. It depends on how many indicators are being tracked, number of points on the map, number of users on the map. It's a sliding scale, based on location.
Is it complicated to manage an international network of staff and clients?
[We have] about 30 people that work on contract one way or another, but they're not employees.
My admin assistant is in the Philippines. It's kind of neat. We use translators because often you're getting somebody who's from another country, located there, and it's kind of empowering to have a truly global staff.
