What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
Remember the Warren Beatty movie Shampoo where he played George, a sexy, suave, charming Beverly Hills hairdresser who bedded all kinds of beautiful women, including the adorable Goldie Hawn?
Well, meet the 2012 version of Warren Beatty's George -- hot hippie dippy hairstylist Julio Romano.
Yes, that picture of Warren Beatty really does hang in Julio's Los Angeles salon. I took that photo of it the last time I was there.
I've known Julio forever and a day. Not only is he one of the few peeps I trust with my insanely highlighted hair, he's also a great kisser. YOU JUST NEVER MIND HOW I KNOW THAT, OKAY?
For years, Julio has been mixing up super custom, truly organic hair products in a bathtub in the back of his salon for very special clients. He's kind of a moonshiner of hair care products. Every time I've gone home from his salon, it's always been with some strange potion in an unmarked bottle. (I've got moonshiners in my family, so I'm really no stranger to being sent along with a cryptically marked jar of "secret sauce.")
Julio's hair product recipes are all based on stuff his brilliant Laurel Canyon hippie mom Victoria used on herself back in the 1960s. Lest you doubt his hippie cred, check out this photo of Julio's family taken in 1975.
Now Julio's beautiful, 100% natural and organic hair products (which are mercifully no longer made in an actual bathtub!) are finally available to EVERYONE in the form of the Shampoolio hair product line.
Yes, you read that right: Julio+Shampoo=SHAMPOOLIO. When I asked Julio today if his products were tested on animals, he said: "Hardly. They are tested only on me!" Everything is made right here in Los Angeles, and all containers are 100% recyclable. He may have proper labels now, but Julio's main focus is still squarely on the formulas.
The ingredients (or lack of ingredients, I should say) Julio uses in his products are not to be believed. You can recognize and pronounce every single ingredient that I've listed here. They are outrageously simple and totally pure. Shampoolio products also really work and smell friggin' delicious.
Shampoolio Dry Shampoo, 1.5 oz/$22.00.
Ingredients: Finely ground corn, essential oils.
I am a complete connoisseur of dry shampoos, as I have greasy roots every single day by noon. I've tried almost every dry shampoo there is. I used to spend a shit-ton of dough on Klorane's spray dry shampoo, as I thought it was one of the best, but Shampoolio's dry shampoo blows Klorane out of the water for many reasons.
First of all, it lasts forever -- I've had the same little shaker vial for over 4 months, and I use it daily. A little bit really goes a long way. Secondly, I find it to be one of the only dry shampoos I have used that doesn't leave white stuff in your hair. It completely attaches itself to the oil in your hair and then just disappears. Most dry shampoos contain silica and talc, which sits on top of your hair and leaves that telltale white residue.
Shampoolio Calm Cream, 2 oz/$30.00.
Ingredients: Camellia oil, aloe vera, organic raw apple cider vinegar, essential oils.
Shampoolio's Calm Cream wasn't a product I thought would work on my baby fine hair, as everything I put in it weighs it down. But I've found that a dime-sized amount rubbed between my hands and then worked through my hair before I hit it with the blow dryer works wonders. I don't have as many flyways and my hair doesn't feel like straw as it does sometimes after I blast it with scorching heat. (Which I do DAILY -- I'm so, so bad.)
Shampoolio "Day Two" Volumizing Spray, 2 oz/$26.00.
Ingredients: Spring water, organic cane sugar, sea salt, camellia oil, aloe vera, essential oils.
I always love the idea of beach or surf sprays, as my hair looks most amazing anytime I get in the ocean. The only problem is that most of the ones I've tried make my hair too crispy and crunchy instead of just sexpot tousled like I want.
Shampoolio's "Day Two" spray adds a wavy, beachy texture that is pure sexbomb. It's also great for adding some roughness to your hair before a blowout or an updo. It literally delivers what it says -- perfect 2nd day hair even when it's squeaky clean. I wash my hair every single day, so using this product is the only way I'll ever manage to get day 2 hair.
Shampoolio also makes a Curl Cream that my best friend swears by, but I've never tried it.
Shampoolio Curl Cream, 2oz/$30.00
Ingredients: Camellia oil, aloe vera, organic cane sugar, organic raw apple cider vinegar, essential oils.
In case you weren't aware, this is my hair. There is literally ZERO curl involved, no matter how hard I try:
I do religiously use a little bit of the Shampoolio pomade to smooth my flyaways and give my hair a bit of a piece-y texture before I walk out the door. It's a great unisex product -- when he had hair, my boyfriend used it too.
Shampoolio Pomade, 2 oz/$26.00.
Ingredients: Beeswax, coconut oil, camellia oil, organic raw apple cider vinegar, essential oils.
I ordered some of my beloved Shampoolio dry shampoo from the site as a test to see how fast the shipping was, as Shampoolio isn't a giant corporation; it's literally one single hairstylist doing what he loves. I ordered it on a Monday and it was in my mailbox on Wednesday, perfectly and safely packaged.
All Shampoolio products use food-grade oils and ingredients. There are no chemicals, no parabens and no additives. They are 100% organic and totally free of preservatives, so you have to use 'em up once you open them, and shake well before using them every time. It's a small price to pay for knowing exactly what you are putting on your body.
Plenty of products claim to be organic, but not many are actually pure enough to say that they were born in a bathtub.

Philip Tinari Presents China's Next Generation of Artists
Artsy Editorial
"Most Chinese artists have a rational approach toward the making of artworks," says Zhang Ding. "I thought that if I just followed my feelings then my work would be different; or at least more real." In his large-scale mixed-media installations, often incorporating video and interactive components, Zhang explores ethnic tensions, the plight of migrant workers, and marginal urban culture that lurk in the recesses of Chinese society. For example, the installation Tools (2007) contained video depicting a cactus and man's various attempts to breach its thorny defense structure, often violently. A metaphor for the marginalized who must rely on dogged determination to survive; ultimately it is water, a seemingly benign substance, that vanquishes the plant. Zhang is influenced by the fantastical style of Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini.

LEWISTON — Police say they have arrested four people during an undercover prostitution sting in Lewiston.
Sgt. David St. Pierre says the sting was set up in response to complaints of a rampant prostitution problem in the city, with women approaching people and vehicles at all hours of the day.
The undercover effort was part of Operation Hot Spots, an ongoing operation involving several agencies, including Lewiston police and Maine Drug Enforcement.
The Sun Journal reports that the undercover officer began riding through the downtown area at about dinnertime Wednesday and was propositioned by four women between 6 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.
Each of the suspects was charged with engaging in prostitution.
Police said more arrests are likely.

Stay Alight is a great physics-based game. The goal of Mr. Bulb is to free the very polluted world of the green microbes who took over the undersea where he lives. The quick explanation of the game is Mr. Bulb tosses a little bit of light at the little green guys. The direction and velocity of the light is user controlled. That's the hard part.
The first couple of levels are a tutorial. I thought some of the directions were a little harder to understand. There are just fingers displayed on the screen indicating which way to tap the screen. Other than that, the controls for the game are pretty easy to use. As the game progresses, there are different weapons available. While this makes Mr. Bulb's job a little easier, other obstacles make it more difficult. Things like bushes will actually absorb the light limiting the ability to get a ricochet like desired.
There's only a limited number of light bursts available to throw. The less used the better and the more points earned. Many times there are ways to hit multiple green guys with one light throw. Sometimes it's throwing a light burst at a barrel or corner of a platform will results in a chain reaction backing out several enemies.
I understand that they need to make money, but the ads interrupting gameplay are a little inconvenient. I would almost rather have them in a bar at the top or bottom of the screen. Or even if it placed the ads in between levels, that would be less intrusive. Where the advertisements are placed, it really wrecks the flow of the game. Making a purchase is the only way to eliminate the advertisements.
I really like the graphics and even the music in the background is not too bad. The controls are pretty easy to use, they are just a simple tap and drag style. There were few instances where placing a finger on the screen inadvertently made it hard to readjust the angle and power of the light burst.
This great physics puzzler is worth checking.

text: I added two more books about Northumberland to my list of Publications used this weekend. Both written by Nancy Ridley. These were form prizes from my time in Form IV and Form VI. Books that have barely been opened for 40 years. Who would have thought that they would turn out to be useful now for genealogy research. Interesting to see that as I received these books around the time of decimalisation they have the price shown in both old and new money. One was 30/- (£1.50) and the other 36/- (£1.80). I remember that both were considered to be expensive books at the time. Since I attended the Duchess's Grammar School all prize books were signed and presented by the Duchess of Northumberland.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Rabbi David Hartman, one of the world's leading Jewish philosophers who promoted both Jewish pluralism and interfaith dialogue, has died. He was 81.
The Shalom Hartman Institute, founded by the rabbi more than 30 years ago, said Hartman died Sunday after a long illness.
The Brooklyn-born Hartman was known for bringing a more liberal Judaism to the conservative brand commonplace in Israel, where he moved in 1971 after holding rabbinical posts in the U.S. and Canada.
He is praised for having developed a unique Jewish philosophy which positioned man at the center of Judaism, opening the door to a more tolerant approach that took personal choice and experience into greater account. Hartman's line of thought places man in a dialogue with God, rather than as an obedient, unquestioning worshipper. He promoted thoughtful criticism and interpretation of Jewish texts and laws among his students, spawning a generation of thinkers who continue to challenge what's traditionally accepted or forbidden under Jewish law.
"Contrary to his teachers who saw Jewish law as signed and sealed, he chose to see it as a type of language where the past and present interact," said Avi Sagi, a professor of philosophy at Israel's Bar-Ilan University who studied and worked with Hartman.
Hartman's death comes amid an ongoing clash between the more liberal streams of Reform and Conservative Judaism and Israel's strict, ultra-Orthodox establishment, which has growing political power and has become increasingly resistant to any inroads by those movements. The liberal streams are demanding more recognition for their traditions in Israel, where they are marginal, although they predominate among American Jews, the largest group of the Jewish diaspora.
While Hartman adhered to the Orthodox tradition, he pushed for a Judaism that was tolerant and open-minded. He was known for his efforts to promote understanding between Jews of various affiliations both inside and outside Israel.
In a 2011 interview to the Yediot Ahronot daily, Hartman spoke out against some religious groups in Israel for their strict interpretation of some aspects of Jewish law.
"It's insane, insane," Hartman said. "These people emphasize marginal issues. The important thing is loving kindness."
"They emphasize trivial things. We lost the deeper meaning," he said. "Do you think that people will want to enter a spiritual life made up only of what is forbidden, forbidden, forbidden?"
The Shalom Hartman Institute was testament to his openness, drawing Jews from many streams, different backgrounds, and accepting men as well as women. Menachem Lorberbaum, a professor at Tel Aviv University who worked closely with Hartman at the institute, said he "inspired a whole new generation of teachers in Jewish philosophy and theology." Beyond his work at the institute, Hartman was widely published and won numerous prizes, including the 1977 National Jewish Book Award.
Hartman was a proponent of women's rights within the religion, where a battle is being waged between some of Israel's Orthodox rabbis and those who support broadening women's roles. "I can't see a Judaism that flourishes" while considering women to be "second rate," he told NPR in 2011. His daughter, Tova Hartman, is a leading Israeli Jewish feminist and one of the founders of an Orthodox feminist synagogue in Jerusalem.
"He advanced political Jewish thought in Israel to a more progressive, democratic and brave place," said Ruth Calderon, a first-time member of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, who studied under Hartman in the 1980s.
Hartman also extended his hand to members of other religions, hosting a yearly theological conference for leaders of the Abrahamic faiths, where priests, imams and rabbis debate and discuss issues that are universal to each, such as death, prayer or tolerance.
Lorberbaum said Hartman will be known for his accomplishments on religious ethics, and as "a pioneer of interfaith dialogue."
"He was committed to the notion that morality precedes Jewish law," he said.
Hartman is survived by his wife and five children. His funeral was scheduled for Monday.

Research grants
This grant scheme is intended to support physiologists in their first permanent academic position or returning to a permanent position after a career break. Funds of up to £10,000 are available for a 12- to 18-month period, to provide support for their research or to provide seed-funding to start a new project.
Funds can be used to conduct pilot studies, develop a new technique or finalise a project. Funding cannot be used to fund PhD studentships or pay staff, to pay for attending conferences, personal salary or general office costs. However, the grants offer flexibility and animal costs, experimental consumables, and small equipment purchases (excluding PCs) are permitted.
Have a look at the 2018 grant holders list to see the projects we funded last year.
Terms and conditions
Research Grants are available to physiologists returning to a permanent position after a career break or who are less than three years into their first permanent academic position (at an institution in the UK or Republic of Ireland) by the time the grant starts. Any period of maternity or paternity leave taken during the first three years of appointment is excluded from this restriction. Applicants must hold a PhD and be in-post before the start of the award. Please note that current fellowship holders are ineligible (this does not apply to those on University-funded, tenured fellowships).
Applicants can either be a full Member or Affiliate of The Society, or have previously presented a talk or a poster at a Society meeting. Applications from non-members need to be sponsored by a full Member of The Society.
Applications should be physiological in nature and should not overlap with existing funding. Each application will be considered by 3 peer reviewers identified by The Society. The marking scheme for the grant review process can be downloaded below.
The applicant's host institution must be willing to administer the award, and a maximum of two awards will be made to each host institute.
Successful applicants are expected to take up their funding in September 2018, and will be asked to submit an end of grant report and a financial audit of spending no later than three months after the end of the grant. If such a report is not submitted the holder will be deemed ineligible for any other funding from The Physiological Society. Any funds not used at the end of the grant period must be returned to The Society.
The Physiological Society is committed to the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion, and thereby welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
Applications for the 2018 Research Grant Scheme are now closed. Please keep an eye on the website for announcements of future funding rounds.

School finance case to have political consequences, experts say
There will be a lot more at stake than just money for public schools on Tuesday when the Kansas Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a constitutional lawsuit challenging the state's school finance system.
According to political experts in Kansas, the case also could have far-reaching political consequences for the Kansas Legislature, Gov. Sam Brownback, and the Supreme Court itself.
"I think you're heading for a constitutional showdown," said Kansas University political science professor Burdett Loomis. "This is a rerun of what we did in 2005 and 2006."
That was when the Court ruled in an earlier case, Montoy vs. Kansas, that the Legislature had violated its constitutional duty to make "suitable provision" for financing public schools. It ordered lawmakers to increase school funding by hundreds of millions of dollars a year, based on studies that it said reflected the actual cost of providing educational services in the state.
That led to a lengthy special session in the summer of 2005, when conservative Republicans who controlled the House at first refused to pass a bill to comply with the Court's order. They argued that the Court had overstepped its bounds and that only the Legislature can decide how much money to appropriate.
At one point, the Court threatened to block the distribution of any money to local schools, which effectively would have shut down the state school system, until the Legislature complied with the order. Eventually, a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans overrode the conservative leadership and passed a bill that included the court-ordered funding.
Later, in the wake of the Great Recession, Kansas suffered a financial crisis beginning in 2008, prompting the state to make huge budget cuts across the board, including public school funding, virtually wiping out all of the increases that had resulted from the Montoy decision.
As a result, many of the same plaintiffs in the Montoy case filed the latest case, Gannon vs. Kansas. In January, a special three-judge panel that presided over the trial of that case ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and ordered another massive increase in school spending.
But Loomis said the political landscape today is different than it was in 2005.
"Although the Legislature was reluctant, there were majorities and a governor (Democrat Kathleen Sebelius) who was pushing for it, so it worked out," Loomis said. "This time you have a governor who is opposed, and a Legislature which is, if anything, more opposed."
In addition, he noted that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, rather than proposing to restore school funding as the economy recovers, has made it his top priority to focus on large tax cuts.
"It's really very similar to what you're seeing at the national level," Loomis said, referring the budget stalemate that has forced a partial shutdown of the federal government. "And you also have this antagonism toward government in general, antagonism toward the schools and antagonism toward the Court."
Chapman Rackaway, a political science professor at Fort Hays State University, agreed that if the pro-funding plaintiffs win again at the Supreme Court, it will likely result in another constitutional showdown between the Court and the Legislature.
And, like Loomis, he predicted that an unfavorable ruling for the state could lead to renewed calls for constitutional amendments that could take away the Court's authority to review school funding levels, or even change the way Supreme Court justices are appointed.
But Rackaway said he thinks it's more likely that Brownback and the Legislature will find some sort of compromise, possibly by shifting more of the burden for funding schools back to local districts.
Oral arguments at the Court are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
The Court will offer live streaming video of the proceedings from its website.

The new changes (as told by Fyodor) Nmap dev mailing list
I am particularly impressed to see th -sC switch (nitko signatures)Hi everyone. I spent all day today integrating OS fingerprints, and
managed to get 200 more of your submissions processed. Let's take a
look at how we're doing compared to Nmap OSv1 and other tools:
Synscan (0.1): 25 signatures
SinFP (2.06): 140 signatures
Xprobe2 (0.3): 225 signatures
Nmap Gen2 (4.21ALPHA4): 417 signatures
Nmap Gen1 (4.21ALPHA4): 1,684 signatures
So our signature count is ahead of all the other tools put together,
and we are already to 25% as many sigs as OSv1. Not bad considering
that OSv1 had a 9 year head start!
So I have just released Nmap 4.21ALPHA4 and posted it to the Nmap
download page:
Please give it a try and let me know quickly if you find any problems!
If all is well tomorrow morning, I plan to put out a release to the
Nmap-hackers. I think this version is better for most people than
4.20 due to the substantial OS detection improvements, and the many
bugfixes. Not to mention the cool experimental features such as NSE
and traceroute.
Here are the changes since ALPHA3:
o Performed another big OS detection run. The DB has grown almost 10%
to 417 fingerprints. All submissions up to February 6 have been
processed. Please keep them coming!
o Fixed XML output so that the opening <os> tag is printed again. The
line which prints this was somehow removed when NSE was integrated.
Thanks to Joshua Abraham for reporting the problem.
o Fixed a small bug in traceroute progress output which didn't
properly indicate completion. [Kris]
o Fixed a portability problem related to the new traceroute
functionality so that it compiles on Mac OS X. Thanks to Christophe
Thil for reporting the problem and sending the 1-line fix.
o Updated nmap-mac-prefixes to include the latest MAC prefix (OUI)
data from the IEEE as of March 20, 2007.
As of now Nmap 4.21 seems to be stable for me..Any one having any problems with it?

When saving data, don't put all your faith in mortal hardware
Any number of bad things can happen to a computer drive: fire, water, buses, cars.
The data on those drives can usually be recovered, said Michael Hall, chief information security officer at DriveSavers Data Recovery. But some situations are more critical than others.
"Where we see people really get into trouble is when they put blind faith" into a Redundant Array of Independent Disks, Hall said.
RAID setups used for data storage typically offer large capacity and a level of redundancy to improve the odds of recovering data. But redundancy is not immortality.
"The RAID is an electro-mechanical device," Hall said. "It's not a question of if it will fail, but when. It's like a person. It has a life expectancy," expressed in mean time to failure. A particular system might beat the averages, but eventually it will die.
However, there are ways to protect yourself from a loss of essential data. "The rule of thumb is always have a backup of the dataset on an alternate medium that you verify regularly," Hall said.
Backing up data to a different medium from your primary storage helps ensure that a single incident does not damage both systems. And because it is easy for a backup system to miss some types of data, such as files that are in use at the time of a backup, it is essential to routinely verify that needed data is available in a usable form by conducting test restores.
"For the most part, people do," Hall said, particularly organizations with continuity-of-operations and disaster recovery plans. "Everyone should have that."
For those who don't, there are professional data recovery shops to help you pick up the pieces.

Backup to a different medium isn't enough and hoping that a data recovery shop will be able to pick up the pieces is irresponsible - it's a valuable last resort and not part of a backup strategy.
You need both on and off site backups to be fully protected. You should also choose a backup tool that handles locked files rather than skipping them.

Over at the Score they've got some touching footage of Canucks players reacting to the "summer of tragedy" and the death of former teammate Pavol Demitra.
Jeff Tambellini had a three point debut (2 goals, 1 assist) for his new Swiss Club team Zurich in a 6-5 loss. He scored his teams 4th and 5th goals to complete a comeback from down 5-1 in a losing effort. Here's a google translate link to a gamer from a Zurich media outlet. Stick-tap Jon Haggqvist for the find.
Blast from the past: The Penguins signed former Canuck Richard Park to a two-way deal today.
Which team was the most efficient on special teams last season? Copperandblue crunched the numbers, and found (unsurprisingly) that it was the Canucks by a fair bit.
SAD GIF BREAK: Luongo and Demitra interact after Canada's semi-final win over Slovakia at the 2010 Olympics.
Yankee Canuck has a really good take summing up a dreadful hockey offseason over a Nucksmisconduct.
The Kurtenblog celebrates the fact that Rogers Sportsnet has decided to televise a couple of games from the Canucks hosted young-stars tournament this weekend, and next week. My roommate is going to be pissed as heck when I tell him we can't watch the week-one Sunday night football game because I want to count prospects tournament chances.

Mark Wahlberg looking to do a sequel to Four Brothers
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant
Mark Wahlberg is looking at working with Paramount to bring us sequel to the 2005 film FOUR BROTHERS. Wahlberg would most likely return for the sequel but there is no word on whether or not his co-stars (Andre Benjamin, Tyrese Gibson and Garrett Hedlund) will join him, although we can assume Hedlund will not return since he met his demise in the first film. Writers Dave Elliot and Paul Lovett will return as well but no word on whether or not director John Singleton is back on board.
I'm surprised at this news of a sequel since I don't remember FOUR BROTHERS being that big of a film even though it made over $70 million. I thought the plot in first film wrapped up pretty nicely so I'm curious as to how they will go forward with another story.

2012 Mazda Mazda6 Values
Select a 2012 Mazda Mazda6 trim level
Mazda Resources:
2012 model year changes
The mid-size Mazda6 sedan is unchanged for 2012.
Competitive comparison
Great ride and handling; fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine; class-leading acceleration with V6; top safety; standout technology
Special features for 2012
The previous version of the Mazda6 was already established as a fun-to-drive mid-size sedan. When the new, revised model went on sale in 2009, Mazda made the 6 especially spacious and safe, making the interior more luxurious and adding some new tech features. The automaker says the Mazda6 is the only car in its class to achieve top 5-star results in all five tests from the federal government. The Mazda6 also has class-leading cargo volume, and according to the manufacturer, the best coefficient of drag in its class, and the tightest turning circle. Additionally, it's the first car in its class to have an optional blind spot monitoring system. The base Mazda6 comes with a 6-speed manual transmission standard and is one of the lowest-priced mid-size sedans in its class, along with providing fuel-efficiency and a high fun-to-drive factor.
The 2012 MAZDA6 is a mid-size sedan with seating for five. The base MAZDA6 is powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 170 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. For upgraded performance, Mazda offers an optional 3.7-liter V6 engine that yields 272 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a 6-speed manual transmission and 5-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 21 mpg city to 31 mpg highway, depending on engine and transmission selection. Features include xenon HID headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, Bose® sound, hands-free phone capability, navigation system, backup camera, and advanced keyless entry/start. Safety is comprised of advanced front airbags, side-impact airbags, anti-lock brake system, dynamic stability control, brake assist, electronic brake distribution, dynamic stability control, traction control system, blind spot monitoring system, and tire pressure monitoring. The MAZDA6 is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — An early morning truck accident has reduced the number of rail tracks available at a busy New Jersey station and is causing evening rush hour commuting delays.
Amtrak crews are repairing signals and overhead wires damaged by the fiery tanker truck crash near the railroad tracks at Newark's Penn Station at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
The tanker was carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline. But no one was injured when it collided with a car on McCarter Highway and burst into flames. The highway is next to Amtrak's Northeast Corridor rail line, which shares tracks with NJ Transit.
The commuter railroad's Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley Lines are seeing delays due to congestion because of limited track capacity.
Westbound trains aren't stopping at Newark Airport.

By Adrian Croft and Allyn Fisher-Ilan
BRUSSELS/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The European Union said on Tuesday it will bar financial assistance to Israeli organizations operating in the occupied territories, a move Israel's prime minister denounced as meddling in bilateral relations with the Palestinians.
Guidelines adopted by the EU's Executive Commission in late June and expected to be published this week make clear that, from next year, Israeli "entities" operating in the territories will not be eligible for EU grants, prizes or loans.
The measure, which underlines EU opposition to Israeli settlement-building, will apply to Israeli companies, universities or other bodies operating in areas occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East War, including the Golan Heights, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
"The EU has made it clear that it will not recognize any changes to pre-1967 borders, other than those agreed by the parties to the Middle East Peace Process," a copy of the guidelines seen by Reuters said.
The decision could make it politically difficult for the Jewish state's pro-settlement government, which has called those narrow boundaries indefensible, to sign accords with the 28-nation EU.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the EU, saying it instead should focus on "problems that are slightly more urgent in the region, like the civil war in Syria, or Iran's race to obtain a nuclear weapon".
"We will not accept any external dictates regarding our borders. This issue will be determined only in direct negotiation between the sides," Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks.
Palestinians praised the rule as a concrete step against settlement construction they fear will deny them a viable state.
Sandra de Waele, the EU delegation to Israel's head of political affairs, said on Israel Radio the guidelines codified EU policy that "agreements and financial instruments that benefit Israel" should not apply to activities or entities in territory it captured in the 1967 war.
The EU decision was an expression of "frustration with continued settlement expansion", she added.
The EU move came to light as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is attempting to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, embarked on his sixth visit to the Middle East since taking office in February.
The guidelines are in line with a call by EU foreign ministers last December for all agreements between Israel and the EU to "unequivocally and explicitly indicate their inapplicability to the territories occupied by Israel in 1967."
The EU, which has been pressing for direct talks to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has taken a strong stance against Israeli plans to expand settlements in the West Bank, saying it would undermine prospects for a negotiated solution.
Some 500,000 Israelis have settled in the West Bank and East Jerusalem among about 2.5 million Palestinians. Palestinians seek a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Israel signaled its concern that Palestinians would now feel emboldened to stick to their demand that settlement construction be frozen before any resumption of peace talks that collapsed over the issue in 2010.
Israeli officials have voiced alarm over escalating attempts by pro-Palestinian campaigners in Europe to isolate the country through academic and commercial boycotts over its settlement policies.
"The European Union's decision signals to the Palestinians that there is no international or economic price to pay for their on-going refusal to return to the talks, and it leads them to believe that Israel will be forced to surrender to economic and diplomatic pressure," said Finance Minister Yair Lapid.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said the EU had moved beyond "statements, declarations and denunciations" over Israel's settlement policy and made a "qualitative shift" that would improve peace prospects.
Israel, which has urged the Palestinians to return to talks unconditionally, disputes the view of the EU, the International Court of Justice, and most countries that the settlements are illegal. It regards all of Jerusalem as its capital, a claim that has not won international recognition.
Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said the Commission drew up the guidelines in response to a request from the European Parliament and said they clarified a system that the EU was already applying.
She said there had been a small number of cases in the past where Israeli organizations operating in the occupied territories had received EU funds, but she could not provide a figure for the potential financial impact of the measure.

Basic Cataloging: Intro to Call Numbers
The growth of the online public access catalog (OPAC) and sharing among institutions has added variety to the kinds of library call numbers you may encounter. This FAQ will help you identify what classification system you are dealing with and how to decode the string of alphanumeric characters that make up its call number.
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC)
The Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) is the world's most widely used library classification system. It was created by Melvil Dewey in 1876 with aims to "organize all knowledge." It is currently used by public libraries and smaller academic libraries throughout the world as a method for organizing books that ensures books on the same subject are near each other on the shelves. DDC assigns each book a number based on its subject matter. Subjects fall into 10 main classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections creating a three-digit number that can be expanded with an unlimited number of decimal places to capture additional details about the item. Example: 813.54 M37 2007
Decoding Dewey Decimal Call Numbers
Patrons of ipl2 often ask us for help when they want to organize their libraries using Dewey Classification numbers, or need to find Dewey numbers for books they want to add to an existing collection. Unfortunately, the DDC is a proprietary system, currently published by the Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) which does not make a complete listing of DDC available online for free.
Library of Congress Classification (LCC)
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is the system of classification used in most research and university libraries in the United States. LCC was created in 1891 specifically to meet the needs of the Library of Congress collection. It is based on twenty-one classes designated by a single letter. These are divided into subclasses that add one or two letters to the initial class. Topics within the subclasses are assigned whole numbers which can be expanded into decimals to identify more specific areas of the topic. This is followed by an alphanumeric author identifier which may be followed by publishing date and other details to produce a unique call number for the item. As with DDC, depending on the level of specificity needed, the call numbers can get fairly long. Example: PR9199.3.M3855 L54 2007 c.2
Decoding Library of Congress Call Numbers
Effective July 1, 2013, the Library of Congress discontinued print publication of its classification system. (Press release announcing the change.) Due to reduced demand, LC decided to transition to web-only publication of its cataloging documentation. Going forward, LCC subject headings, classification schedules and other cataloging publications will be released as downloadable pdf files free of charge from the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate website.
The Library of Congress will continue to offer two web-based subscription products that provide a higher level of functionality for institutions requiring more assistance cataloging their collections. Details and pricing for the paid versions, Cataloger's Desktop and Classification Web, are available through LC's Cataloging Distribution Service.
Library of Congress Classification PDF Files: List of currently available, free classification schedules which should be updated as the conversion from print to web continues.
Library of Congress Classification Outline: Free online list of main classes with links to view or download subclass outlines that include topic areas.
Fundamentals of Library of Congress Classification. Complete course materials from the LC's "Cataloging Skills" workshop to view or download as pdf file. Excellent resource.
Video - Library of Congress Classification System: Instructional video explaining how to read LC call numbers and use them to locate materials in the library. This is part of the Storms Research Center YouTube Channel offering library-related resources.
Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)
The Library of Congress Classification system (LCC) should not be confused with theLibrary of Congress Control Number (LCCN) system. The LCCN is a unique identification number assigned by the Library of Congress to the catalog record of each book, and some authors, in its cataloged collections. The number has nothing to do with the contents of the book, its sole purpose is to identify the individual record to facilitate sharing of records with other libraries. LCCN has been operating since 1898, originally as the Library of Congress Card Number since the bibliographic data was stored on physical cards. Today's LCCN includes a LCCN Permalink, a persistent URL addresses for each record to facilitate centralized cataloging in the online environment. Example: LCCN 2010549727 and LCCN Permalink http://lccn.loc.gov/2007281064
OCLC Number (WorldCat)
WorldCat is the world's largest online public access catalog (OPAC). It holds millions of records from public and private libraries around the world, serving as a powerful resource for locating and cataloging material. All catalog records from member libraries that are submitted to OCLC are given a unique accession number. These individual records are compared with other holdings to eliminate duplication. If the item is original, it becomes the master record. If not, it is associated with the master record number for that item. This number, the master record number, is displayed in the record listing, not the DDC or LCCN numbers that accompanied the original local bibliographic records. OCLC and WorldCat are beyond the scope of this guide, but knowing where to find the OCLC number in a WorldCat record can help you retrieve the most common DDC and LCC call numbers usingClassify. Example: OCLC 154690024
International Standard Book Number (ISBN)
The ISBN is a 13-digit, or 10-digit (pre-2007), number used to uniquely identify books and similar material published internationally since 1970. Most books published after 1975 have been assigned an ISBN; those published after 1985 will likely have a barcode with the ISBN on the back cover. The ISBN is composed of: location identifier, publisher identifier, title identifier, and ending with a single-digit checksum; the 13-digit ISBN added a 3-digit prefix. The number does not convey any information about the book's subject or author that could help with shelving or locating related material. The ISBN can, however, be used to locate collection items in WorldCat, Amazon, and other online sources of bibliographic data. Examples: ISBN 0-151-01383-7 and ISBN 978-0-151-01383-8
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)
The ISSN is an 8-digit number divided by a hyphen used to uniquely identify periodical publications internationally. There are actually two types: p-ISSN is for print periodicals and e-ISSN/eISSN for electronic periodicals. The ISSN identifies a specific magazine title only, not an individual issue, publisher or location. For this reason, a specific issue of a periodical may have both an ISSN and ISBN. Example: ISSN 0009-7675

WorldCat's Expert Search: WorldCat allows users to specify which field(s) to search, including Dewey and LC call number fields, by adding a prefix index label to the search query. Example: dd:813.54M or lc:PR9199 where dd: signifies a search for the Dewey call number 813.54M, and lc: searches for the LC call number PR9199. Other prefixes include: bn: for ISBN, sn: for ISSN, and nl: for an LC Control Number. The is a useful way to check your cataloging. Details on the index labels available:
Library of Congress Cutter Table: The Cutter table is used to create a unique alphanumeric code identifying the author for use in differentiating similar items in a collection. It is typically a single letter followed by a 2- to 4-digit number, depending on which Cutter Table is used and the specificity required. Some LCC call numbers include a cutter for the author and one or more to further specify the subject. These are used in both DDC and LCC call numbers.
OCLC offers a downloadable application that creates Four-Figure Cutter numbers for you (Windows only)

With victory, U.S. No. 3 seed
The field is set for the medal rounds at the Summer Olympics, with the United States getting its rematch against Cuba on Friday (6 a.m. ET) and unbeaten Korea meeting Japan in the other semifinal.
That was determined by the Americans' 4-2 victory over Japan in 11 innings on Wednesday night at Wukesong Main Field. Capitalizing this time on the new extra-innings rule, the U.S. broke a scoreless tie in the top of the 11th inning.
Both teams used this final preliminary game as a way to get work in for their pitchers. Davy Johnson used starter Trevor Cahill and relievers Jeremy Cummings, Brian Duensing, Blaine Neal, Jeff Stevens and Casey Weathers.
"It was important, because we got a lot of work in for guys we're going to be counting on the rest of the way," Bisons pitcher Jeff Stevens told MLB.com, who retired the side in order in the ninth and then got away with a single allowed in the 10th.

Rookie right-hander Shelby Miller won't be the only Cardinals starter ready for bullpen duty in Game 5 of their NL division series against Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said Lance Lynn, chased in the fifth inning of Game 2, will be available as well. Lynn has failed to qualify for a victory in any of his three career postseason starts.
Miller led major league rookies with 15 wins but is adjusting to being the odd man out in the playoff rotation so far. He's worked just one inning in the series, and noted "I have no idea when I'm going to pitch" and added it felt "like I haven't thrown forever."
The Pirates are iffy about using starter A.J. Burnett in a relief role.
Burnett has an unsightly 31.50 ERA in the series after eight straight Cardinals batters reached safely to start their seven-run third inning in Game 1, and he has very little experience out of the bullpen. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle all but ruled out lefty Francisco Liriano, the Game 3 starter who "poured his whole tank out the other day" and has also been dealing with flulike symptoms.
All of Burnett's eight career postseason appearances have been starts. Only five of his 375 career outings have been in relief.
"A.J.'s preparation is such that I don't know, we'd have to talk to him," Hurdle said. "He takes a nice routine to get in line to go, so I'm not sure."
Pirates rookie Gerrit Cole will start Game 5 after a strong outing in Game 2. Adam Wainwright gets the ball for St. Louis.
AT HOME IN THE DOME: Tropicana Field, the site of Games 3 and 4 in the AL division series between Tampa Bay and Boston, has produced some strange plays over the years due to odd features like the overhanging catwalks.
But visiting manager John Farrell of the Red Sox pointed out that the dome stadium does have one big benefit:
"Well, the pros are you know you're going to play at the designated time every night," Farrell said. "Every ballpark is going to have its quirks, its intricacies. I think everyone that comes in here and plays a number of games is well aware there is some other things that they have to contend with."
Farrell added that both teams play under the same conditions.
"So, there's nothing in our minds that is a detriment to playing a game here," he said.
FAMILIAR FOE: Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams knew plenty about the Pirates growing up just down the road in Philipsburg, Pa. He's a little surprised he never got their attention.
"I didn't hear anything from the Pirates, and I played 40 minutes from their backyard," Adams said Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Adams set several career records as an all-state catcher at Philipsburg-Osceola High "smack dab in the middle of the state," with fans divided between the Pirates and Phillies.
Adams set more marks staying in state for college at Slippery Rock, where he batted .495 with 14 homers his junior year and was a Division II All-American.
Still, nothing from the Pirates. The Cardinals drafted him in the 23rd round in 2009, and Adams slugged his way to the majors.
Adams said he was a "bit of a Pirates fan" growing up, but mostly was a Ken Griffey Jr. fan.
SURPISE, SURPRISE: Stuart Sternberg had to admit it.
The Tampa Bay owner was surprised when catcher Jose Lobaton hit a game-winning solo homer off Boston closer Koji Uehara with two outs in the ninth inning of the Rays' 5-4, Game 3 victory Monday night in the AL division series.
Uehara had not allowed a homer since Toronto's Jose Bautista took him deep on June 30, a span of 37 regular-season outings and one playoff appearance.
The Red Sox right-hander had easily retired Ben Zobrist and Evan Longoria before throwing a first-pitch strike to Lobaton, who then sent the second pitch he saw into the giant fish tank beyond center field that is home to a group of cownose rays.
"It was absolutely unexpected," Sternberg said before Game 4 on Tuesday night. "After seeing the two guys who made outs and then the way the first pitch was, you do all the calculations."
Lobaton, however, hit a splitter and the game was suddenly over.
"Everything stopped ... it ended," a smiling Sternberg said.
HANK'S YANKS: New York Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner admitted it's very tough watching the playoffs without his team participating.
The Yankees failed to make the playoffs for the second time in 19 years and finished with an 85-77 record, their poorest since 1992. All-Stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson missed much of the season due to injuries.
"At some point, you're going to miss out," Steinbrenner said Tuesday. "It happens, especially with injuries. You've just got to toughen up and move on. But it is difficult, very difficult. Just like the fans, I'm used to seeing us in there, and it's strange when we're not."
Steinbrenner lives in Tampa, Fla., about 30 minutes from Tropicana Field, where the Rays and Red Sox played Game 4 of their AL division series Tuesday night.

NEW YORK (AP) — Syfy says its sequel to the horror spoof "Sharknado" snapped up 3.9 million viewers Wednesday night.
The film, officially titled "Sharknado 2: The Second One," nearly tripled the 1.37 million viewers who saw last summer's premiere of the original "Sharknado" film.
Meanwhile, Nielsen estimates that 5.5 million people saw one or more of the 581,000 tweets posted during the airing. At one point, the film held all top 10 trending topics in the United States. By comparison, 318,000 tweets about the first "Sharknado" film were posted when it premiered last July.
In campy fashion, "Sharknado 2" moved the action from Los Angeles to New York City, which was besieged by its own fearsome storm of rain and falling sharks.
Syfy said the film will air again Saturday and Sunday.
