Shorter bio:
Originally from sunny California, Laura Lam now lives in cloudy Scotland. Lam is the author of BBC Radio 2 Book Club section False Hearts, the companion novel Shattered Minds, as well as the award-winning Micah Grey series Pantomime, Shadowplay, and Masquerade. Her short fiction and essays have also appeared in anthologies such as Nasty Women, Solaris Rising 3, Cranky Ladies of History, and more. She lectures part-time at Napier University in Edinburgh on the Creative Writing MA.
Longer bio:
Laura Lam was born in the late eighties and raised near San Francisco, California, by two former hippies. Both of them encouraged her to finger-paint to her heart's desire, colour outside the lines, and consider the library a second home. This led to an overabundance of daydreams.
After studying literature and creative writing at university, she relocated to Scotland to be with her husband, a boy she met online when they were teenagers and he insulted her taste in books and she insulted his right back. She almost blocked him but is glad she didn't. She is now a dual citizen, but at times she misses the sunshine.
While working a variety of jobs from filing and photocopying endlessly at a law firm to library assistant to corporate librarian, she began writing in earnest. Her first book, Pantomime, the first book in the Micah Grey series, was released in 2013, which was a Scottish Book Trust Teen Book of the Month, won the Bisexual Book Award, was listed a Top Ten Title for the American Library Association List, and was nominated for several other awards. Robin Hobb says "Pantomime by Laura Lam took me into a detailed and exotic world, peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and some I'd never want to cross paths with." The sequel, Shadowplay, followed in 2014, as well as several the Vestigial Tales, self-published short stories and novellas set in the same world. The third book in the series, Masquerade, will follow in 2017.
Her newest book is False Hearts, a near-future thriller released in June 2016 by Tor/Macmillan and in three other languages. Peter F. Hamilton calls False Hearts "a strong debut from someone who's clearly got what it takes." Another thriller, Shattered Minds, will be released in 2017.
She is still hiding from sunshine in Scotland and writing more stories.
Laura Lam is represented by Juliet Mushens of Caskie Mushens and Michelle Kroes of Creative Artists Agency.

Siena continues to excel at preparing our students for high school success. Thirty-six Siena alumni graduated from McQuaid Jesuit this past year. They represented 24% of the graduating class (152 in total), but 30% of its National Honor Society members and 30% of the students who attained an average of 85% or higher over seven semesters. In fact, 81% of our alumni averaged above 85% at the school, while only 56% of the 116 non-Siena graduates did so. And while 31% of Siena graduates were NHS members at McQuaid, only 22% of non-Siena graduates achieved that distinction.
McQuaid's highest honor, the Bishop Kearney award, was given to a former Siena student, Brian Crowley, brother of eighth grader, Tom. Brian will be attending the University of Notre Dame next year.
Aquinas Institute: 50% of Siena graduates were named to NHS, while only 20% of non-Siena graduates were.
Bishop Kearney: 80% of Siena graduates were named to NHS, while only 22% on non-Siena graduates were.
Siena graduates receive the highest honors and recognition at our Catholic high schools:
Aquinas Institute: Bishop Clark Award
Bishop Kearney: Salutatorian and Founders Award
McQuaid Jesuit: Jesuit Secondary Education and Bishop Kearney Awards also The University Award
Our Lady of Mercy: Student Body President and Vice President

At the end of a three-hour Bellwood School District 88 meeting during which several controversial contracts were approved Monday night -– including one for a superintendent who had previously resigned from the post -– Board President Maria Castrejon had a surprise.
She moved that 19 of the items on the agenda be reconsidered at the board's May 2 meeting. That leaves the new contract for interim Supt. Rosemary Hendricks and several other posts in place but in limbo until three newly elected board members join the board.
Castrejon said it was wrong for the lame-duck board to hire top administrators and push through contracts at its last meeting. The voters want change and the hands of the new board should not be tied by the outgoing board, she said.

Jerusalem: With opposition gaining momentum ahead of this week's general election, Israel's hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused "foreign governments" and tycoons of pumping in millions of dollars to dislodge him.
Embarking on a blitz of media interviews and launching a major offensive against his rivals, Netanyahu has been trying to convince the right-wing voters to support him enmasse in order to keep the centre-left combination led by Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog out of power.
"There is a huge international effort, with major money, that is partnering up with leftist organisations here and also with media figures in order to bring down the Likud government that I head," the Israeli Premier told Channel 2 yesterday and repeated the allegations again today in interviews to local media.
With pinion polls showing that he is trailing and the opposition has gained momentum, Netanyahu said that the forces he saw arrayed against him "know one thing -- that when Bougie (Herzog) and Tzipi come in here, they won't stand firm even for a minute. They will fold on every position right away."
"Whether legal or not, it certainly is not legitimate for foreign governments and all kinds of donors to meddle here," he said.
The 65-year-old Israeli Prime Minister, however, did not not specify which forces were planning his ouster but in remarks this week he has spoken of unspecified European governments encouraging his defeat.
Another senior minister in the Israeli cabinet from Netanyahu's Likud party, Yuval Steinitz, said there was American involvement too, Ynet reported.
The Israeli Premier has been constantly at loggerheads with US President Barack Obama and his recent efforts to undermine the US leader by addressing the Congress without coordinating with the White House has further widened the rift between the two.
Netanyahu himself was seen to be trying to influence the US Presidential elections last time through various statements which were interpreted as going against Obama.

Confusing simple with easy/
These days, my time is completely filled up. My time has become precious, and booking time to spend with someone is a gift. My time is a limited commodity, and every time I say yes to something, I'm saying no to something else. So from that place, it becomes clear how to guide my actions. I stop saying yes. I say no to more things. Instead of giving my time away to anyone that will take it, I have to start treating my time as precious. It is the same for me as it is for anyone else that wants to create more time in their lives: start relating to your time as precious, and other people will as well.
This is so simple. Relate to my own time as precious, and other people will as well. Here are some ways I could do that:
- Charge a higher rate for my services
- Say no more often
- Set aside specific blocks of time where I am available, and don't make appointments outside of those
- Set aside specific blocks of time for e-mail, and don't answer e-mails outside of them
- Stop agreeing to time-consuming appointments (eg, meeting for lunch and coffee) and instead stick with conversations over the phone
All of those are simple solutions to my problem.
So why don't I implement them? The answer is because simple is different from easy. The most profound insights that I usually generate while working with my coach, Jolynne, are often the simplest. The sort of things where I slap my forehead, wondering how I could possibly have gotten it so wrong.
Simply being simple doesn't mean that I go out and create them. Instead I resist. I know that I should be saying no to lunches. And yet I keep saying yes. Why am I doing this?
I'm doing this because I've created stories that are in direct contrast to those simple solutions. Those stories make things complicated and I've created structures that support that complication.
Holding my time as cheap and available to whoever wants it has generated a degree of success up to this point, but it is now insufficient to generate the success I want beyond this stage.
It is simple because it's clear what there is to do. It is not easy, because I have resistance to taking those things on. In order to take those things on, I may have to confront or even be with the very thing that I put created those structures to avoid in the first place.
The same is true for most of my clients. The highly successful lawyers that wish they had more time for their family and leisure continually show up to my calls explaining why they didn't have time to take on any of the practices we generated last session. When we look at what they chose instead, it's clear that they're perpetuating the cycle. Instead of saying no, they say yes to more. Instead of risking whatever saying no might create in their lives, they go with the devil they know, because that's easier.
I was working with a client who is responsible for creating some of the best events in our city and developing a tremendous amount of talent. The impact of his work is far and wide, and it's clear that he is a powerful leader. One of his practices has been to simply create a recurring ten minute space, every single work day, where he does nothing but sit in peace and quiet.
Ten minutes. That's it.
That is a simple practice — but for him, it is anything but easy. He has meetings, responsibilities, people that are demanding his time, international travel, and a plethora of other reasons he cannot make that commitment.
When we take on transformation, we lose sight of the fact that a solution being simple does not mean that it is easy. Once we lose sight of that fact, we get frustrated and batter ourselves when we fail to accomplish the goal we set for ourselves. And then that self-flaggelation leads back into the initial cycle.
It will always be easier to travel down the well-worn path. The more familiar something is, the easier it is for us to take it. Your development — your growth — will never be via the easy route.
Let go of the thought that things should be easy. It's not that they can't be — it's just that you've spent a lifetime creating a life that is complex. Stay focused and give yourself room to breathe. The return to simplicity is worth the struggle, even if it isn't an easy one.
Where in your life are you mistaking simplicity with ease? What happens when it doesn't turn out to be as easy as you thought it should? Where do you go from there?

Something really gross that will make you squirm.
To get home from my new job, I take the R train one stop to Union Square and then change to the N. I go to the very last car on the N train, because one time when I was in that car I ran into H. coming home, and since then I always hope to run into him again. So, I stand and wait for the N at the end of the platform, and at the end of the platform is a mystery door. A few days ago while staring blankly at that door I spotted a nasty rat pop out from underneath! Yuck. But a rat in the subway is hardly a special occasion in NYC, so I didn't really think much of it, but made a mental note to not stand too close to the Rat Door.
A few days later I was back on the platform staring at that door, and out popped 2 rats. Ew. Two rats in one place! Rats sure like that Rat Door.
Yesterday evening as I made my commute I decided to spend the entire time I waited on the platform staring at the Rat Door. Oh. My. God. Guess how many rats popped out of that nasty door of hell?!?! FIVE. FIVE RATS. I have never seen that many subway rats in one place, and on the platform! My previous record was four rats on one platform.
Rats have a place in the world: and that place is on the subway tracks. I have no problem with them when they know their place, but when they're on the platform I find them quite offensive.
Tonight, I took my place on the platform and watched that door. 3 rats out, 2 rats in. They might have been the same rats, I can't identify them. As I stared and squirmed, and inched away without taking my eyes off the door, a subway janitor passed me with a trolley full of garbage bags and headed for Rat Door. Oh. My. God. That is a subway garbage room: a rat dining hall. I became worried that when he opened that door a parade of well-fed nasty vermin would come spilling out, rubbing their full bellies and picking their teeth with a toothpick.
I stepped back a few more feet and watched. The subway janitor even looked apprehensive about approaching the Rat Door. Shivers. He pushed the door open, looked suspiciousli inside - without goin g in - and threw his garbage bags in there. The subway janitor wouldn't even go in that room. I wouldn't go in that room unless I had some air-tight space-suit on. Ugh.
Why do I stand near that door and watch it when I know what nasty lies behind it? I don't know. Probably for the same reason that my favorite book about NYC, and possibly my favorite non-fiction book ever, is the wildly disgusting Rats: Observations on the History and Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants, by Robert Sullivan.

The web is made from countless hyperlinks. When you are there, you need to avoid clicking on links that may lead you apart from the website. However, well you've built incoming links to your site, regardless how many entries you make in social media sites, in case your website doesn't follow webmaster guidelines, it's quite likely your website doesn't rank high enough to appear on first page of Google search outcomes.
Benefits of Google Webmaster Tools:
There are many link popularity tools to utilize online. I eschew the complete social media thing. In case, you have a small company that sells throughout the nation or world from your site, then you are aware how important the Internet can be. If your site deals with regional specific service or product, you must concentrate on promoting your website with Google's respective regional search engine.
The piece I will write about this effective informative data on backlinking will likely be placed over on the proper side of the paragraph when finished.

Rob Kardashian Posts Workout Pic Amid Blac Chyna Romance
Rob Kardashian took to his Instagram account on Thursday afternoon (January 28) to share a new pic of himself working out at the gym.
The 28-year-old reality star has been making headlines this week because of his new romance with family rival Blac Chyna and it looks like he's trying to get back into shape for her.
Rob and Chyna were seen driving around town together that day and he was sporting a very bushy beard.
Later in the afternoon, Chyna went solo while going for some pampering. See those photos in the gallery.

Popping abscess plan, good?
I am not in the position to be taking my leopard gecko Hershey to
the vet to get her abscess/cyst popped for 100s of dollars, and the
medication they give to knock the gecko out is life threatening, so I plan
on popping it myself... I'm a bit nervous to be doing this but I think I can
do it. And keeping her in one position is not going to be a walk in the park.
My plan is to get some Baytril, take out my saline solution, and sterilize a
needle. Then i'll try my best to find the correct dosage of Baytril by weight.
After that i'm gonna just go for it and hope for the best... I'll stick the needle
in the cyst/abscess, drain all the pu.s, and then fill the old hole with saline,
and keep rinsing the wound with saline daily to keep it sterile. She will be on
Baytril during the process and for some time after my treatment to prevent
the cyst/abscess from coming back.
Sound like a plan? Oh, and please don't go off topic and start getting mad at
me for not taking Hershey to the vet, I simply cannot afford it!

Well you're on track with cleaning it out, and needs to be on antibiotics. I do work for a vet, however she does not do exotics. Yes, I actually have to take my leos elsewhere when it comes to vet care lol! However, I do treat abscesses a lot in dogs and especially cats. We do use baytril on these guys...but I do know that baytril shouldn't be used on puppies (younger animals) unless really necessary because it can cause something like bone growth abnormalities...maybe it was something to do with cartilage not sure. Anyway, I definitely don't know about using it on leos. But, in any case, hope it works out for ya!

Popping abscess plan, good?
Well I think that will be a decision you'll have to make on your own...lol!
First, are you sure it's an abscess? If it is a true abscess, (this is how it goes with cats most of the time) it isn't enough just to clean it out. And it's not enough to use just antibiotics...both need to be done. If there's not "fluid" type of material in there, then it may be a mass/tumor instead.
However with baytril being such a strong antibiotic you have to remember it also kills good bacteria as well. Can cause (in mammals) upset stomach and diarrhea, and yeast infections. Not sure of side effects with reptiles though.
Honestly I am sure I have been no help...because I don't know what to tell you haha! Maybe do some research on reptiles taking baytril. Dosing and proper length of time of using it is also detrimental as well.
Well good luck.

Popping abscess plan, good?
How will she be under intensive care? I am really wondering now...how do you plan on popping it? Cleaning it out? What will you clean it out with? How much Baytril will you use? Where are you getting the Baytril from? And I just noticed what you said about the anesthesia...it's the same as sedating any other animal. My leo, Flower broke her leg at one point...was gassed down, x-rayed, and a splint was placed on her leg. Yes that visit cost exactly $99. But they are your responsibility. I have been thinking on it, and I don't really think that you should play doctor. When people play doctor...with infections, dosing and administering strong drugs...it is a disaster waiting to happen.
The last people I saw play doctor on their dog...well that puppy is no longer with us. I have seen ALL kinds of things that people claim they got from the internet, or that their best friend breeds dogs and told them what to do, or I've had cats for 20 years I know what I'm doing...when really they don't.
Better example of why you should go to a vet; The worst clients we ever have walk through the door are nurses! (No offense) I mean nurses walk through the door thinking they are god. They claim it to the world! If I try explaining things to them, they say, "I already know that, I'm a nurse." Or, "You don't have to explain, I have a medical background." That really irritates me. Last one that came in that acted like that...her dog was emaciated, not eating, and bloody stools...because he was so full of hookworms. And if you have your dog on proper heartworm prevention then that shouldn't happen. She was dosing out her own Ivermectin because she thought she could play doctor.
So there ya have it...go to the vet. Don't ask us, don't ask a nurse lol! If not, give it away. Don't wait until the infection is running through her bloodstream and there's no hope for her. And better yet...you may find out that it's nothing to worry about. Either way...telling you how to play doctor on your leo is not what we are all here for. Sorry.

Police: Parking dispute leads to violent threats

Police: Parking dispute leads to violent threats
Meriden woman threatened to blow up building
MERIDEN, Conn. —
Bond was set at $500,000.
Police say a woman in south-central Connecticut threatened a neighbor with a knife over a parking dispute at their apartment complex, threatened to shoot residents and police, and to blow up or burn down the building.
Meriden police say the 48-year-old woman was arrested and will face charges.
They say they responded to calls about 3:30 p.m. Friday about the dispute and tried to talk to the woman but she refused to open her door, turned up her stereo, threatened them and others, and said she had a gun.
Residents were evacuated from the building, the power was turned off to her apartment, and a SWAT team was contacted. She eventually opened the door, and was taken into custody.
Police say they found no firearms.
Bond was set at $500,000.

The first drink...
The story of TendedBar goes back to a beautiful day in the outskirts of Chicago, when Jay Perkins had his first experience with a poolside cocktail. This first drink was concocted by none other than his brother Justin Honeysuckle. Little did they know that this was the beginning of something that neither one of them could have ever imagined.
A few short years later and after many nights of market research at Purdue University, Jay needed to come up with a senior design project. Knowing that this was about to consume his life for the next year he was determined to design something that was more than just a machine. He decided to make an automated bar tender.
After many think tank sessions and sleepless nights the Tendedbar concept was actually coming to fruition. During this process there was a competition, put on by RECESS, which focused on young entrepreneurs and their ideas. Jay Perkins was one of nine finalists in the inaugural competition and was flown to Las Vegas to present his idea to several groups of investors. The Recess team and Jay stayed in contact after the competition and Jay's persistence in networking led him to a partnership with Mark Cuban Companies and TendedBar.
TendedBar's partnership with Mark Cuban Companies is the first step in the process of Making Sure Every Bar Is Properly Tended.
The guys behind the bar...
Jay Perkins
Jay started TendedBar with an idea and ever since, that idea has taken on a mind of its own. As an engineer with a degree from Purdue University and the son of an engineer, he has always known about the importance of automation in today's society which revolves around one thing, money. With his patent pending technology he is helping the hospitality industry save a lot of money with every pour.
Justin Honeysuckle
With a Master's degree in Interior Design from Florida State University, Justin has been working in the design field for more than seven years. He has been involved in the evolution of TendedBar from the beginning. His knowledge of the service industry and design expertise have been imperative in the maturation of what TendedBar has become.

It was reported in Parliament that the police had been collecting about RM450 million from summonses every year since 2000.
This is a huge amount and someone is trying to capitalise on it.
This means that more summonses would have to be issued, particularly postal ones which are recorded using video or radar technology, he said.
In the end, he added, more people will be burdened with summonses.

Great flavor
My review is complete opposite of the last one. I think the flavor is great and it dissolves well. I do like MTS but I like Breach a lot better. The MTS Machine Fuel flavors have gotten worse if you ask me. I've had to switch to Breach in order to be able to somewhat enjoy drinking my BCAA's again.

A 72-year-old New Hampshire woman who says Bill Cosby raped her in 1965 has withdrawn her civil defamation lawsuit against the comedian.
Kristina Ruehli filed a notice to voluntarily dismiss the suit Friday. It came after a federal judge in Springfield, near where Cosby has a home, rejected the comedian's bid to dismiss the case Thursday.
Ruehli's lawyer, Megan Deluhery, tells The Associated Press her client has decided not to pursue the lawsuit because the legal landscape has changed.
Cosby now faces criminal prosecution in Pennsylvania. Civil actions also remain in play in Massachusetts and elsewhere by dozens of other accusers.
Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said his client hopes more lawsuits are dropped or dismissed and that Cosby looks forward to fighting the rest in court.
"This is now the second of these defamation cases that has been dismissed, either by a Court or by a party," a lawyer for Cosby stated. "... For those in the media who accepted every allegation raised without question or evaluation, they need to answer the well-known question with respect to Mr. Cosby, 'Which office do I go to get my reputation back?'"
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Being a professional pessimist, it's hard for me to find the silver lining to the #edpolicy clouds rolling over the educational landscape. Combine policymakers who are openly working to "break public education to pieces," end of grade tests that ignore the full range of skills that I teach my students, or the shame that I feel when my scores aren't where district leaders want them to be, and you'll understand why I'm not a pocketful of rainbows and unicorns right now.
But the results of a recent survey of 1,000 adults commissioned by the Kars 4 Kids charity and designed to find out whether or not people believe that teachers change lives had me smiling today.
Here's why:

Stew in that for a minute, will you? In a world where we're surrounded by negative messages about the quality of the American classroom teacher, the MAJORITY of the adults that we serve are satisfied by the work that we are doing.
And they're not just satisfied in the "yeah, my teachers didn't stink" kinda way. They're satisfied in the "I liked my teachers enough that I want my children to learn from them too" kinda way.
That matters, y'all. It's a tangible reminder that people DO believe in us.

your ride, your way
Many thanks to Dave for all his help and advice. He went out of his way to sort out all the logistics which not only made the ride possible but helped make it really enjoyable. The incline was the highlight with the coastal section being hard work in places but worth it for the scenery. Finishing at The Boat Shed in Days Bay then catching the ferry back to the city was the perfect end to the ride
We had such a great experience on the trail, thank you. We were flying down from Auckland so didn't really know much about the area but Dave took the extra time to make sure we were well sorted. Overall I have to say the service was friendly and helpful, the bikes were excellent and the cycle trail was brilliant. We were even followed by a pod of dolphins for an hour on the last day! Thoroughly recommended, thank you again.
supported day-trips
Thanks for organising a half day ride on the Rimatuka Rail Trail for our family. Our guide, Dave, was awesome. He organised the bikes, the transport, and really looked out for my wife , 2 daughters and myself. He even had a plan to find our temporarily waylaid member (me) when I was 5 minutes late:) The bikes and gear were great, the track sweet as and the service hard to beat. We will be back for a multi day ride just as soon as we can
With four friends I recently rode the Rimutaka Cycle Trail. For the Ocean Beach to Orongorongo section we arranged for Dave, from Cycle Rimutaka, to guide us and transport us back to our accommodation. I highly recommend his friendly professional service. It was two days before my 82nd birthday and his help made the ride so much easier for me.
If you are apprehensive about the part of the Rimutaka Track between Ocean Beach and Orogaronga you SHOULD hire Dave from Cycle Rimutaka. We had been told this is quite a difficult part of the track, and not having mountain bikes we decided to hire Dave to guide us. He is such a lovely, patient young man to put up with us "older" folk. We would have had much difficulty if he had not helped us get our bikes (including panniers and one electric bike) through the sand and over the rocks. He was fantastic!
supported multi-day adventures
Hi Dave, we want to thank you for all your help with our Rimutaka cycling trip last week. We had an awesome three days on the trail and we will not hesitate to recommend you to others. The bikes were great, your tips for our itinerary were extremely helpful, and your service when we picked up and dropped off the bikes and when we gave you a call mid-trip was exceptional....and you didn't make us feel stupid for getting a little lost! Thanks again

We moved to London in the middle of a mini-heatwave last summer. It didn't rain at all the first couple of weeks we were here that I can recall. Definitely a pleasant surprise given all you hear about London weather. But, people kept saying: just wait for winter! Well, turns out they were pretty spot on. Winter in London can be pretty miserable. It's cold. It's rainy. It gets dark at 4pm. If it's not a downpour, you really have to make it a priority to get up and out of the house in the morning or else you will slowly go crazy. Especially if you have a toddler! Of course there are days that are meant for staying in your pjs all day. On those days we do lots of finger painting, coloring, and putting stickers all over the walls. ;)
When we are going a bit stir-crazy from being cooped up inside, these are some of our favorite places to go...

Sonny Landreth – Bound By The Blues
Sonny Landreth – Bound By The Blues is a new long awaited album due for release on June 9th, 2015. There isn't much I can say except that I'm looking forward to it and hope it's as good if not better than his last release. I've taken the 'blurb' from his record company and posted it below.
Sonny Landreth's new album, Bound By The Blues marks a return to the slide guitarist's musical roots. It presents a bold, big sounding collection of recordings that climb to stratospheric heights of jazz informed improvisation, the best of classic rock, and inevitably remain deeply attached to the elemental emotional and compositional structures that are at the blues' historic core. Bound By The Blues is a powerful tribute to the durability and flexibility of the genre, and to his own creative vision. Sonny name checks Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters and some of his other musical heroes along the way. He also pays homage to fellow slide guitarist Johnny Winter, with the instrumental 'Firebird Blues'. He recreates some amazing covers 'Walkin' Blues' by Robert Johnson and 'Dust My Broom' by Elmore James. Sonny Landreth continues to develop his vision and his musical voice, growing increasingly original and distinctively diverse sounds expanding from blues, zydeco, folk, country and jazz, making Bound By The Blues one of his most ambitious albums to date.

Gush Shalom founder Uri Avnery urges readers to sign a petition demanding the Israeli Football Association either remove the settlement football clubs from its membership or relocate them outside the illegal settlements
In recent days, a growing global campaign is calling for soccer clubs based at Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories to be banned from participation in the Israeli Soccer League. Should the Israeli Soccer Association fail to comply, Israeli soccer in general might find itself expelled from FIFA, the International Soccer Association.
As might be recalled, on May last year Jibril Rajoub of the Palestinian Soccer Association demanded that Israel be ousted from FIFA. In the end Rajoub consented not to bring the matter up for a vote at the FIFA Congress, in return for FIFA establishing a Commission of Inquiry to look into Israel's conduct in soccer-related matters, including possible violations of International Law and of FIFA regulations. Among the issues brought up were arrests and detentions of Palestinian soccer players and restrictions on their freedom of movement, manifestations of anti-Arab racism in the Betar Jerusalem Club and especially the fact that there are six clubs playing in the Israeli Soccer League which are located in Occupied Palestinian Territory.
It should be noted that the State of Palestine is a full member of FIFA, and the Palestinian Soccer Association has the same standing in FIFA as the Israeli one. Further, all the land occupied by Israel since 1967 is considered by the International Community to be sovereign Palestinian territory.
According to FIFA regulations, soccer clubs located in the sovereign territory of a particular country must play in the national league of that country. Therefore, clubs located in settlements on land belonging to the State of Palestine should be playing in the Palestinian League. The very fact that they play in the Israeli League is a violation of FIFA regulations. To play in Israel, these clubs – six in number – would have needed to obtain a special dispensation from the Palestinian Soccer Association. In fact, no such dispensation was ever sought, never mind granted.
The FIFA Commission of Inquiry on Israel's conduct is headed by South Africa's Tokyo Sexwale, a well-known public figure his country. He had been imprisoned on Robben island together with Nelson Mandela, and after the fall of the Apartheid regime was the governor of a province, a cabinet minister and one of the contenders for the South African Presidency after Mandela stepped down. Nowadays he is a businessman involved in a worldwide mining business.
Sexwale together with the other members of FIFA Commission of Inquiry recently visited Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip and met with representatives of the soccer associations on both sides. The Commission is expected to soon submit to FIFA its conclusions with regard to the issues raised by the Palestinians. It was agreed that, should the Palestinian and Israeli Soccer Associations fail to achieve a mutually-satisfactory compromise, the Palestinian motion to suspend Israel will go back to the agenda of the next FIFA Congress.
Ahead of the submission of the commission's findings, there is an increasing awareness of the issue among international grassroots civil society groups. Nearly 150,000 people so far have signed a world-wide petition initiated by the Avaaz organization, calling upon FIFA to expel the settlement clubs from the Israeli Soccer League, or alternatively to make them to move to within the Green Line (pre-'67 border). Failure to comply may bring about Israel's expulsion from FIFA, thus preventing Israeli clubs and the Israeli National Team from taking part in any international soccer competitions.
Israel set up six soccer clubs on stolen Palestinian land. The illegal outposts are an obstacle to peace and are condemned by everyone from the European Union to the USA. Palestinians aren't allowed into the stadiums, let alone allowed to play football there! Now, FIFA is investigating whether these teams should be allowed to participate in international football — let's demand the decision helps pave the way for equality.
FIFA laws prohibit using another country's land without consent, and South African FIFA official, Tokyo Sexwale, just led a delegation to the region to investigate.
Israel is trying to persuade him to do nothing. But if enough of us raise our voices and make this a massive call to Sexwale, who has lofty political ambitions, we could push FIFA to hold the Israeli Football Association accountable. But he submits his recommendation this week — we have to make this big, fast — join
SIGN THE PETITION To Tokyo Sexwale, the Chairman of FIFA's Investigation Committee : As concerned citizens from across the Middle East, North Africa, South Africa, and the world, we ask you to uphold FIFA's own rules and provide fair recommendations demanding the Israeli Football Association either removes the settlement football clubs from its membership or relocates them outside the illegal settlements. If the Israeli Football Association doesn't comply it must lose its membership with FIFA, as has been the case with other federations that have refused to accept FIFA's fair play rules. There should be zero tolerance for the six teams that flagrantly ignore international law and operate in occupied territory. Settlement football teams legitimise the illegal occupation and condone the suffering the Palestinians face as a result.

Outreach programs offer help in Gulf
From medical services to personal services, programs are lifeline for Katrina survivors.
BY NANCY HOGLAND | NEW ORLEANS, La. | May 18, 2007
Each day, hours before the sun starts to rise over the horizon, cars begin to line up at a free medical and dental clinic in east New Orleans. By the time the gates open at 6 a.m., the line stretches more than one-half mile.
The clinic, and other personal service outreach programs, remain a lifeline for survivors of Hurricane Katrina more than a year and a half after the storm.
"Some of the people we treat are chronically poor," said Bill Horan, president of Operation Blessing which runs the medical and dental clinic. "They were poor before Katrina and they're still poor today."
Many of the people are what Horan describes as the "newly made poor."
"Before Hurricane Katrina, they had homes, they had normal lives and they had jobs with regular paychecks and medical insurance," he explained. "But now they have no home, or they're living in a borrowed FEMA home, they have no job, they have no income and they've used up their savings. They're left with nothing except their ongoing illnesses and, plain and simple, they need their medicine to survive."
Clinic doctors typically see 80 to 100 patients each day and write between 250 and 300 prescriptions during those visits, Horan said. Since opening the doors of the medical clinic one year ago, approximately 30,000 patients have been treated.
At Impact Ministries, meantime, the focus is on meeting the psychological needs of community members by offering after-school programs for children and providing counseling, especially for domestic abuse cases, said Toni Smith, director of the interdenominational ministry.
"The families have been cramped in these little FEMA trailers for 20 months now and it's wearing on them," she said. "My husband and I stayed in one for a few months while we volunteered down there and I can attest to the fact that they're tiny.
"It's bad enough to lose everything you own, but then to live with your family squeezed into a little trailer that barely has enough room to turn around makes any situation seem worse," Smith said.
The ministry also tries to provide another type of pick-me-up to families by scheduling evenings of Christian music and entertainment, something that she said has been greatly appreciated.
"These people need to have some time to simply relax and enjoy themselves," Smith said. "It's rough living in these conditions day after day after day. They also need to be reminded that there is a promise for a better future so they don't lose hope."
Dan Brown, the pastor at Anchor Assembly of God in Bayou LaBatre, Ala., said that was exactly why a group of pastors from throughout the Gulf Coast region joined forces with Convoy of Hope to host God Cares community outreach events.
"We just try to give people one day where they don't have to worry about anything," Brown said. "We serve hot meals. We provide free haircuts and other beauty services. We bring in doctors and nurses to do free health screenings, we offer job placement assistance, we have children's events and carnivals - and we pray with them.
"Our goal is to show these people that God loves them, that we love them and that we haven't forgotten about them and their plight," he said. "We hope that they can stop by, forget about all their troubles for the day and then take a couple bags of groceries home when it's over."
Ron Showers, director of the outreach events, said Convoy of Hope initially got involved in the Gulf Coast immediately after Katrina struck in August 2005.
"We knew then that people could easily be overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all," Showers said. "By maintaining a presence there, we're showing people that God cares and we care about them and want to help meet their needs.
"We also knew going into this that it wasn't going to be a short-term project. We've been holding these community events for two years and it looks like we'll be able to continue to provide them for another two," he said.
More than 1,400 people attended a recent weekend event in LaBatre. That same weekend, a crowd of about 700 attended another God Cares outreach in Gautier, Miss. The largest response so far has been in Moss Point, Miss., where 3,700 people showed up.
Convoy launched the God Cares program in early 2006. According to agency figures, last year's events drew some 20,000 people in 10 cities from Biloxi, Miss., to eastern Texas. They were served by 1,724 volunteers from 274 different churches and organizations. More than 350,000 pounds of groceries were distributed at the events. Another 13 similar events are planned this year.
"The only solution to this problem is time," Brown said. "Eventually these cities will be rebuilt and people will be able to resume their normal lives. However, in the meantime, they need all the help they can get. I just hope the rest of the country will continue to care enough to stay involved."

H.D. Smith to acquire West Coast wholesaler
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — H.D. Smith, one of the largest pharmaceutical wholesalers in the United States, announced plans to acquire Valley Wholesale Drug in a merger agreement transaction.
The acquisition will increase H. D. Smith's customer base in California and give the wholesaler an opportunity to expand into the Pacific Northwest, a market in which it currently has a limited reach.
Valley Wholesale serves more than 1,000 independent pharmacies in California, about half of the state's market. Valley Wholesale Drug customers will benefit from access to H. D. Smith's broader product, service and solutions portfolio through its national network of distribution facilities and sales teams.
In the past few years, H. D. Smith has ramped up its national expansion effort to increase its independent pharmacy and institutional customer base and expand service offerings to customers across the country.
Since 1995, the company has acquired regional distribution players or built distribution centers in seven states serving key regions, including Texas, Illinois, California, New York Metro, Florida, New England and Kentucky.

Today Vicktor Alexander visits to talk about his new book, Delicious Mistake. Don't forget to check out the Giveaway.
Quickie Interview
How did you come up with the title for this book?
All of the books in the Mistakes series are centered around couples who get together because of what they see as being a "mistake." So each book title acknowledges the "mistake" part, but then gives it an adjective which makes it sound complimentary. So instead of it being a "horrible mistake," this book is entitled Delicious Mistake because the way the characters get together is so delicious.
How would you describe this book to someone who has not read any of your books?
Delicious Mistake is a book about a Dom named Miguel, a campaign manager who staunchly believes in the voting process, who is in the closet who sets out to stop his friend, Xavier, from making a big mistake and marrying a young man he barely knows and still running for the Senate. On the way, however, Miguel meets Julian, a young sub, who doesn't vote, who is on his way to say goodbye to his brother who is dying. Miguel makes his own "mistake" by allowing himself to connect with the young unambitious, submissive male. But what Miguel sees as being a mistake may just be a delicious intervention of Fate. Delicious Mistake is an interracial, contemporary, May/December, BDSM romance that is book 3 in the Mistakes series.
Is there a message in this book you want your readers to understand?
That sometimes what we see as being mistakes can actually turn out to be opportunities for us to meet someone, or learn something, or are in the right place at the right time. And that you never know who someone may turn out to be to you, so take a chance and say hi, because it may be that Fate is intervening.
Miguel Rodriguez stood by his friend Xavier's side when evidence of his affair with another man came out. He also stuck by Xavier when he disappeared from Atlanta and moved to the mountains of Wyoming. But he will not stand by Xavier when he decides to marry his young lover and still run for the Senate.
Hopping on a plane to Wyoming, Miguel finds himself meeting Julian Canton, a young man who has no political ambitions and doesn't even vote, and yet Miguel finds himself fascinated. Miguel makes the mistake of upgrading Julian's ticket so they can get to know each other better and somehow finds himself in Riverton, WY, holding Julian's hand as he says goodbye to his brother. Giving in to his attraction to the young man, Miguel struggles not only with his physical attraction but with his emotional one as well. When he compounds his mistake by inviting Julian along with him to talk to Xavier, he soon finds himself feeling something he has never felt before. Will he join his friend Xavier in listening to his heart or will he walk away?
"How in the world did you make us being friends sound so dirty?" Julian asked.
Miguel chuckled. "Oh that's easy. I can make anything sound dirty. It's all about lowering my voice and making everything you say the most seductive thing you've ever uttered."
Julian's eyebrows rose. "Oh really? Prove it."
Miguel leaned forward, ignoring the people walking past them, juggling their carry-ons, children, friends and spouses as they exited the plane. He lowered his voice and stared at Julian's groin, his brain filling with images of Julian's cock encaged in a cock ring, his body straining against restraints, his skin glistening with sweat as he pleaded with Miguel to let him come.
"Voting for a presidential candidate is one of the best things you can do as an American, because it guarantees that your voice is heard, even when it doesn't feel like it. It's a time when you can take control, assert your independence and make sure that you have someone in office who cares about what you care about." He could hear how seductive his voice sounded and if the darkening of Julian's eyes was any indication, the man was turned on—though more by the tenor of Miguel's voice than his actual words. "You should think about voting, Julian," he said, rolling the younger man's name around in his mouth like a fine wine. "Enclosing yourself in a booth and either punching a hole or touching a screen and choosing who the head of the country is going to be."
Julian was panting, his pink lips parted as he stared at Miguel. "Holy fuck," he croaked out. "That was the sexiest thing I've ever heard about the most boring subject in the world."

26 States Set to Teach Global Warming Junk Science in Public Schools
US children will soon be indoctrinated on global warming junk science in the classroom.
Twenty-six states are set to add global warming junk science to the public school curriculum.
Inside Climate News reported:
New national science standards that make the teaching of global warming part of the public school curriculum are slated to be released this month, potentially ending an era in which climate skepticism has been allowed to seep into the nation's classrooms.
The Next Generation Science Standards were developed by the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the nonprofit Achieve and more than two dozen states. The latest draft recommends that educators teach the evidence for man-made climate change starting as early as elementary school and incorporate it into all science classes, ranging from earth science to chemistry. By eighth grade, students should understand that "human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth's mean surface temperature (global warming)," the standards say.
They're "revolutionary," said Mark McCaffrey, programs and policy director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), a nonprofit that defends evolution and climate education and opposes the teaching of religious views as science.
The 26 states that helped write the standards are expected to adopt them. Another 15 or so have indicated they may accept them—meaning climate change instruction could make its way into classrooms in 40-plus states.
Global warming stopped 16 years ago.

Running back Frank Gore entered the 2005 NFL Draft with enough question marks to be considered a "reach" when the 49ers selected him with the first pick in the third round.
Physically, Gore had already sustained two ACL tears during his college career at Miami. And NFL doctors had a difficult time signing off on another part of his anatomy, too.
"I took a chance," former 49ers personnel chief Scot McCloughan said on The 49ers Insider Podcast. "And the majority of the time when you take that chance, you get burned on it because of the medical.
"It's not just the knees. It was his shoulders, too. I had to almost talk the doctors into passing him. I was like, 'Come on, guys, work with me here.' Because I liked him so much as a football player."
Gore enters Sunday's game against his former team just three yards behind Eric Dickerson for No. 7 on the NFL's all-time rushing yardage list.
"I've been blessed," Gore said Wednesday on a conference call with Bay Area reporters.
"When you look back at my career, coming from college, when I got drafted there how many people, even with me getting picked in third round, were calling it a reach? And now I'm still playing and having a little success at this age. I feel real blessed. I'm still working my behind off and still loving it."
And how is this for durability? Gore, 34, has started 96 consecutive games – the longest active streak among NFL running backs. Next on the list is Atlanta's Devonta Freeman, who has 25 consecutive starts.
"He's still rolling," McCloughan said.
After 10 seasons with the 49ers, Gore's time came to an end after his 1,106-yard season in 2014. With Jim Harbaugh no longer with the organization, general manager Trent Baalke offered Gore a one-year contract in 2015 as the organization prepared for Carlos Hyde to take over as the featured running back.
Gore admits he was bitter for a year after signing a three-year deal with Indianapolis. But, now, with the passage of time, Gore said he understands the 49ers' rationale.
"They had a young guy," Gore said. "Trent Baalke drafted him, and that's who he wanted to play. They wanted to go in a new direction. What could I do?
"I just know when I left I left on good terms. I played great ball for the York family and my fans out there. I left everything on the field."
Gore is now earning plenty of admirers in Indianapolis, just as he did for a decade with the 49ers.
"I think a bunch of people told him for a long, long time that he can't and he won't, and he's been out to prove everybody wrong," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.
"He's one of our top dudes. Just a great, great player, a better person and a great teammate."
Gore leads the Colts with 191 yards and two touchdowns on 61 carries through four games this season. Although he is averaging just 3.1 yards per rushing attempt, his average is still best among Indianapolis' running backs.
From the first time McCloughan saw Gore as a true freshman at Miami, he knew there was something special. Although Gore was behind Clinton Portis and Willis McGahee on the depth chart, McCloughan observed Gore's toughness, strong lower body and ability to keep his pads low.
McCloughan looked past a low Wonderlic score. He knew a learning disability meant that Gore would not test well. But he also knew no written test could properly convey that Gore was a football savant.
"His intelligence, his instincts for the game are lights out," McCloughan said. "I've been around a lot of really good football players. With him, it's amazing how he picks stuff up so quickly.
"I was like, 'He's smarter than Alex (Smith),' and Alex had a big-time test score. And Alex, of course, is very intelligent, but he (Gore) knew the game, big-time. It was awesome."
McCloughan had only briefly met Gore at the NFL Scouting Combine, but at that point Gore was off the 49ers' draft board due to a non-passing medical grade.
The night before the 2005 draft, McCloughan said he was at then-coach Mike Nolan's house. He received a call from an agent who told him Gore wished to speak with him.
"I can barely understand him, he's talking so fast," McCloughan said. "He's nervous."
Gore told McCloughan that he's heard from other teams that he could be a first- or second-round draft pick.
"I said, 'I'll be honest with you, Frank," McCloughan said. "I'm always honest with all the players and coaches. I said, 'If you're there – we had the first pick in the third round – I'm going to take you. I can't take you prior to that because of the medical issues.' He said, 'I'm not going to last that long.' And I said, 'Well, I don't know. If you do, I'll take you.'
"Since that day, we've been best friends. He said, 'I respect you and I trust you.' You get Frank's trust, -- a lot of players – you get their trust, you got them. You got them, and they'll do everything for you, and I'll do everything for them."
