COLLEGE STATION — Some situations understandably call for quiet from a head coach. This isn't one of those situations. Rumors are rapidly building that Maryland will tab Mark Turgeon as its next coach, and there was nothing from the A&M end of things to quiet those rumors on Sunday night.
Turgeon was scheduled to return from a family vacation late Sunday night, an A&M spokesman said. Often in these cases, there are folks behind the scenes who squash such rumors before they bloom. Again, that wasn't the case on Sunday.
In this age of instant information, Turgeon could go ahead and quiet the talk with a simple Twitter post claiming he's happy at A&M, which overall I believe he is, and looks forward to coaching the Aggies for the foreseeable future. Perhaps that will happen this morning or afternoon.
Turgeon isn't happy with Reed Arena's lackluster attendance in nonconference play – and even in conference play as Reed was half full in A&M's victory over Iowa State this past season – but that's not a problem A&M is dealing with by itself in the Big 12.
Meanwhile ESPN's Andy Katz recently described Maryland, where Gary Williams retired as coach last week, as one of the "best jobs in the country."
"The Terrapins can boast fertile recruiting territory in the Beltway and surrounding areas," Katz wrote. "Maryland fans are as loyal and passionate as any in college basketball. The facilities are top-notch. Yes, North Carolina and Duke are the perennial favorites in the ACC, but there's no shame in being the third-best job in the conference behind those two. That just means it's among the top 10 or 15 in the country."
Katz also wrote Sunday that Maryland is turning its attention to Turgeon after failing to bring Arizona's Sean Miller, Butler's Brad Stevens and Notre Dame's Mike Brey aboard. Meanwhile I had folks from the official Terrapins media network wanting to know more about Turgeon on Sunday.
Turgeon received a pay bump to nearly $2 million annually a year ago after he was courted by Oregon. I can't imagine Maryland paying him much more than that, but much like when he was at Wichita State, he would be at a school that puts hoops first.
Turgeon can put an end to all of the rumors in a hurry today. We'll find out soon if he does.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's first two seasons with the team have provided a twist on the time-honored formula for a big-screen love story. Instead of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again, it's been boy meets girl, boy publicly professes love for girl, boy evaluates second girl, boy professes love again for first girl, boy meets third girl, boy tries to date both as long as he can before kicking first girl to the curb.
The Niners' version of Girl No. 1, quarterback Alex Smith, reacted on Thursday to the reality that, while he's still one of Harbaugh's guys, he's no longer "the guy."
"I mean, it sucks," Smith said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. "I don't know what else to say."
There's nothing more to say. Except, maybe, "This is why players hide concussions."
Smith didn't say that. But everyone is thinking it. When Smith told trainers during a Week 10 game against the Rams that he was experiencing blurry vision after being hit in the head, Smith set in motion a chain of events that could ultimately cost him a shot at earning a Super Bowl ring and $7.5 million in 2012 compensation.
So, yeah, it sucks. Even though Harbaugh made what he believes to be the best decision for the present and future of the franchise.
UPDATE 4:03 p.m. ET: Actually, Smith came close to saying "this is why players hide concussions." According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, Smith also said, "I feel like the only thing I did to lose my job was get a concussion."

The basic principle of homeopathic medicine is that a small dose of a substance will help cure that which it causes in overdose. Although this principle may be a bit confusing at first, it actually makes a lot of sense. Modern day physiology and biology are confirming a basic premise of homeopathy which recognizes that symptoms are efforts of the organism to adapt to stress or infection. Symptoms are therefore understood as the way the "bodymind" is trying, although not always successfully, to re-establish homeostasis or balance. Since symptoms are the best efforts of the organism to attempt to heal itself, it is best to avoid treating or suppressing specific symptoms, and it is preferred to aid and stimulate the body's defense and immune processes.
The homeopathic medicines are able to stimulate the defensesystem, since they, like conventional immunizations and allergy treatments, give small doses of what causes a condition in order to stimulate the immune system. Homeopathic medicines, however, are distinctively different from immunizations and allergy treatment, since the homeopathic medicines are more individually prescribed to people, given in much smaller and less toxic doses, and used for both prevention and treatment of a person.
Homeopathic medicine developed much of its popularity in the United States and Europe because of its success in treating people with cholera, scarlet fever, yellow fever and other infectious diseases that were ravaging populations. More recently homeopathic medicine has developed a reputation of suc-cessfully treating people with various chronic complaints. What many people do not know about homeopathy is that it also provides many valuable medicines in treating people who suffer from accidents and injuries. When these medicines are used in conjunction with conventional first aid procedures, the risk of long-term damage from an injury can be significantly decreased and the healing process can be noticeably enhanced.
One must study homeopathic medicine for many years in order to learn how to prescribe the correct medicine for people with chronic conditions. One can, however, learn to use the medicines for first aid very easily. Whereas treatment of a person's acute or chronic disease requires strict individualization of the person's total physical and psychological state, treatment for accidents and injuries does not require such individualized presciption. The reason for this difference is that people with acute or chronic diseases have distinct or subtlely different symptoms and causes of their condition, and thus need a different medicine to begin their curative process. People with injuries tend to experience very similar symptoms and usually need a similar metabolic stimulus to heal their complaint. Basically, when different people cut themselves, get burned, break a leg or injure themselves in some other way, they all tend to need a similar stimulus to heal their injury.

With Marvel Studios delivering relatively faithful adaptations of their key characters, villains, stories and more, even down to the colorful costumes from the comics, we've always had a rough idea of what The Avengers would look like together on the silver screen. We were even treated to some beautiful character posters during Comic-Con that provided fans with their first look at the roster of heroes and their new, updated costumes.
Just last week, new artwork for The Avengers movie surfaced online, depicting Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk, fighting alongside SHIELD agents Nick Fury, Black Widow and Hawkeye, adding to that tease, but still now showing the heroes together in live-action, not since Cap (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) fought together during a scene shot in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Now, with The Avengers finishing up principal photography, we have our first look at the entire cast together on set, including a few glimpses of Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson's costumes and weaponry.
When Jeremy Renner spilled the beans a few years ago that when he went into chat with friend and screenwriter Zak Penn about the role of Captain America, he instead got chatting seriously about the character of Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, it was more of a
fanboy desire cool idea than a reality. Little did we know at the time, that everything he said about his character would be coming true, from his introductory cameo appearance in Thor (which didn't even have a director or cast yet) to the details of Hawkeye's onscreen costume.
He described the modern Hawkeye SHIELD outfit as being more representative of the Ultimates version of the character, with cool shades to go along with his bow and quiver. Gone are the purple outlandish tights and in is the leather, sleeveless combat vest. After officially nabbing the role and making a surprise appearance at Comic-Con, Renner's words in interviews further confirmed what we suspected he'd look like and now you can see for yourself. Joining Hawkeye, is partner Black Widow who also supports an upgraded costume from her first appearance in Iron Man 2, this time with a pair of sidearms.
Much better than the Avengers promotional art which gave us our first look at Renner in costume, right? For those concerned with actors looking like their hand drawn, on-the-page counterparts, you couldn't find a better match then Renner for Mr. Barton. If he, alongside Johansson's Black Widow character make a big impression on fans, they along with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) could very well get their own spin-off movie about the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization.
The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleston and Stellan Skarsgard. It is of course written and directed by Joss Whedon, opening in theaters on May 4, 2012.

The Regional Science Association International (RSAI) aims to hold a world congress at least once every four years. Unfortunately, the last two planned congresses – in Bangkok in 2014 and in Istanbul in 2016 – had to be cancelled due to security concerns in the host cities at the time. The World Congress in Goa 2018 is expected to be a great success with more than 600 abstracts submitted so far. RSAI considers world congresses an important instrument for furthering its mission of global advancement of regional analysis and in Goa we would like to announce the World Congress for 2020. RSAI therefore calls for proposals to host a world congress in 2020. Potential hosts are RSAI Supra-Regionals, Sections or Members that have a proven track record of hosting conferences and related events. A world congress may be held concurrently with another event or as a standalone event. Proposals must be submitted by Tuesday July the 31, 2018, 23:59 GMT. Proposals are evaluated by a Committee of RSAI Council. Based the Committee's recommendation, Council will make a decision in the Council Meeting of Cork. This document outlines the application process, organisation and expected outcomes regarding the 2018 world congress.
4 May 2018
The World Congress of the RSAI was initiated in 1980, at a time when the organization had already established a tradition of annual supra-regional conferences in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim through the North American Regional Science Council (NARSC), the European Regional Science Association (ERSA) and the Pacific Regional Science Conference Organization (PRSCO) respectively. The purpose of the world congress is twofold: firstly, to create an opportunity for bridging the networks established by the supra-regional organisations (which since 2016 also includes the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Science Association, LACRSA), and, secondly, to provide a scientifically and socially attractive event for first entry into the RSAI networks for postgraduate students and scholars from parts of the world where the supra-regionals and their constituent sections have little or no representation.
RSAI congresses until 2012 have been held four-yearly since 1980 (with the exception of the one held in Israel in 1989 rather than 1988). The years and venues have been:
1980 1st – Cambridge Mass. (Harvard University), USA
1984 2nd – Rotterdam (Erasmus University), Netherlands
1989 3rd – Jerusalem (Kibbutz Ramat Rachel), Israel
1992 4th – Palma de Mallorca, Spain
1996 5th – Tokyo (Rissho University), Japan
2000 6th – Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland
2004 7th – Port Elizabeth, South Africa
2008 8th – Sao Paulo, Brazil
2012 9th – Timisoara, Romania
In 2012 Council appointed a working party, chaired by the then RSAI President Jean-Claude Thill, to review the world congress policy. The working party made a number of recommendations, including holding the world congress every two years. Consequently, a 2014 world congress was organised to be held May 26-30 in Bangkok, Thailand. However, this congress had to be cancelled due to a military coup taking place just before the congress dates. Similarly, a 2016 world congress was organised to be held April 25-28 in Istanbul, but had to be postponed initially – and subsequently cancelled – due to safety concerns linked to terrorist activity in Turkey. It is clear that this very unfortunate sequence of events was impossible to foresee during planning of the last two congresses, given that both host cities had a longstanding reputation of being safe destinations for global events.
To meet its objectives and to ensure that its membership receives the services it expects from the organization, RSAI is now committed to running a successful world congress in 2018 in Goa and a World Congress each two years.
Criteria for a successful 2020 world congress
1. Most importantly, the world congress should aim to have significant participation from members of Sections of all four supra-regional organisations – ERSA, LACRSA, NARSC and PRSCO.
2. The conference should also endeavour to attract regional scientists resident in countries in which no RSAI Section has yet been established. Subsidies may be available to selected applicants for participation through RSAI's "Building Bridges" programme.
3. RSAI's long-run objective is to organise a world congress with 1000 participants or more preferably every four years. There is the expectation that the congress in Goa will have more than 500 participants.
4. The 2020 World Congress may be held as a standalone event. Alternatively, proposals may suggest to organise it jointly or "back-to-back" with another event. Such a joint or back-to-back event could be an RSAI Section meeting, a supra-regional congress, or an event held jointly with other organisations with similar objectives or networks.
5. The proposed dates of the congress must be such that they do not clash with other events that aim to attract the same regional science community, unless a joint conference is envisaged. Therefore, if the proposed location is within or very close to the territory of one of the supranationals, the proposal should include a statement that this supranational supports the nomination.
6. The conference should be held at an easily accessible location in a globally accessible city.
7. Accommodation should be available at the conference venue (when the conference is held at a hotel or convention centre). Alternatively, a range of affordable accommodation should be available within 15 minutes walking from the venue.
8. The congress should include plenary sessions of interest to the global scientific community. The overall conference theme and the selection of keynote speakers should reflect this. Of course, local perspectives and concerns may be interwoven with global perspectives and concerns.
9. Proposals should include initiatives to encourage participation from developing countries and from other countries in which no RSAI Sections have yet been established. RSAI can assist financially in meeting this objective through its "Building Bridges" programme but other funding initiatives (e.g. subsidies for participating postgraduate students) are also encouraged.
10. The programme should include one or more workshops for professional development of emerging scholars and postgraduate students, who may not be in a position to contribute a full paper to the formal scientific programme.
11. The working language of the congress is English but proposals may include arrangements for simultaneous translation of plenary sessions where this is deemed to be desirable.
12. Proposals should include a risk assessment regarding contingencies that could impact on the viability and success of the congress. Ways in which potential risks can be managed should be outlined.
Conference Organisation
1. RSAI establishes a 2020 World Congress Executive Committee (WCEC20) which will have oversight over all aspects of the world congress. In accordance with Article 5, Section 3 of the RSAI Constitution, this committee is chaired by the RSAI Executive Director. Other members of WCEC20 are the chair of the Local Organising Committee (see below), the President of RSAI, who chairs of the Scientific Programme Committee (see below), and two other Council members. WCEC20 co-ordinates the various tasks and has overall responsibility for the scientific and financial success of the congress.
2. WCEC20 will establish a Scientific Programme Committee (SPC), which will be chaired by the President of RSAI. Besides the chair, the five-person SPC will consist of one senior scholar from each of the four supra-regionals. SPC will select offered papers and ensure the scientific quality of the programme. This committee may call upon a much larger number of RSAI scholars to assist in selecting papers for presentation.
3. The RSAI Supra-Regional, Section or Member submitting the world congress proposal will appoint a Local Organising Committee (LOC) and appoint its chair. The LOC is responsible for all logistical aspects of the congress and arrangements with local suppliers. The RSAI Office and the LOC will draw up a full budget for the congress and recommend a schedule of registration fees to WCEC18.
4. RSAI Office will provide the website on which all congress information can be found and downloaded, and the portal through which abstracts, papers, registrations and the programme can be managed.
5. For the services it provides, RSAI Office charges a commission equal to 20% of all registration fees received. The remaining registration revenue is transferred to the legal entity representing the LOC. Any anticipated sponsorship monies will be included in the budget.
6. The RSAI supra-regional, section or member institution which makes the world congress proposal underwrites the financial viability of the congress. The disbursement of any funds held by the LOC after the congress has been held is a matter of negotiation between the parties concerned, with negotiations being co-ordinated by WCEC20.
7. All arrangements for the organising of the World Congress will be formalised in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU will be signed by the President of RSAI, the Executive Director, the Chair of the LOC and the person representing the legal entity through which the LOC operates.
Application Process
1. Proposals should address each of the 12 criteria for hosting the 2020 world congress outlined above. However, it is understood that some of the information provided by the congress proposers (such as names of suggested keynote speakers, sponsorship, etc.) will be tentative at the time the proposal is submitted.
2. Proposals should include a list of the key people involved in organising the congress, a draft congress plan (including dates, location and schedule), a detailed draft budget (including a schedule of registration fees) and a suggested range of accommodations and charges.
3. The acceptance of a proposal by RSAI Council does not constitute a binding agreement between the two parties. The subsequently drawn up MOU, which is guided by the proposal, will constitute a binding agreement.
5. A decision regarding the 2020 World Congress will be made by Council at Cork.

LEICESTER — Without a $1.5 million Proposition 2˝ override, the Board of Selectmen said, there could be drastic changes in town that may include closing the library, moving a regional emergency dispatch center, less training for firefighters and the demotion of police sergeants.
Selectman Douglas A. Belanger said Monday said the override would allow the town to build up its revenue stream and "stop the bleeding." It would permanently raise the level at which the town taxes property owners.
According to a document crafted by Town Administrator Robert Reed, if the measure passes at both the ballot box Oct. 1 and town meeting Oct. 29, the police department would be able to hire two full-time officers and take the option of a regional dispatch center off the table.
The chief could also bring back the part-time contingent but without the override, selectmen said, officers would have to further evaluate how they prioritize calls, and could reduce response levels.
The document states the town's library badly needs a children's librarian. But if the override fails and the library budget must be reduced, the facility would likely lose its certification. That would cost the town more than $10,000 in state funding from the so-called cherry sheet. The recommendation from Mr. Reed was that rather than inadequately funding the library, the facility would close.

Athletics place Crisp, Anderson on DL
Oakland, CA – The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Coco Crisp and pitcher Brett Anderson on the 15-day disabled list prior to Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Crisp is batting .283 with five home runs and 12 RBI in 24 games this season. He exited Monday's game against the Angels with a strained left hamstring.
Anderson is 1-4 with a 6.21 ERA in six games (five starts) this year. He was scratched from Monday's start due to a sprained right ankle, but ended up entering the game in the 13th inning and pitching 5 1/3 frames of relief in the 19-inning marathon.
The A's also selected the contract of catcher Luke Montz from Triple-A Sacramento and recalled pitcher Dan Straily from Sacramento.
Montz was batting .283 with five home runs and 12 RBI in 15 games with Sacramento this season.
Straily was on Oakland's Opening Day roster and started Monday's game in place of Anderson before being optioned back to the minors. He is 1-0 with a 6.35 ERA in two games for the A's this year.

The Accidental Anarchist
Crosswalk Press, 2010, $18
As a child, Bryna Wincelberg Kranzler grew weary of the stories her mother told about a grandfather raised in Poland, a man who died long before Kranzler was born. As an adult, Kranzler recognized the power of these stories, and admired the strength behind the impulsive and resourceful youth who escaped three death sentences by the time he turned 25. In the past two years, she's turned her full attention to her grandfather's life, adopting his witty voice as the narrator of her first published work.
The Accidental Anarchist draws heavily from translations of the 28 diaries written in Yiddish by Jacob Marateck, who chronicles his adventures as a baker, soldier, and political prisoner in early twentieth-century Poland and Russia. The result is likely to charm and captivate readers, offering a vivid window into a world that no longer exists, and riddled with so many bizarre incidents that one can't help but think of the well-worn maxim: Truth is stranger than fiction.
"I call it biography," says Kranzler, who researched the history of the time period, and worked from her parents' translations of Marateck's journals, but at times compressed similar events into one, dropped in a joke or two, and fleshed out details in order to construct a lively narrative. "I tightened up just about every sentence," she says. "My grandfather's style was a bit more lingering." On the other hand, "he has a sense of humor where you least expect it," she says, and "he always gave me the energy to continue." Writing the book, she adds, "made me feel the loss of not knowing him."
Told in the sardonic and immensely likeable voice of Marateck, practically every page of the book sizzles with cinematic detail and plot: There's the story of how her grandfather, a newly enlisted soldier in the Russo-Japanese war and indignant after an unwarranted punch by a Russian officer, promptly smashes a teakettle across the officer's face. Another story recounts how Marateck, who dons many identities in this book, from yeshiva boy to political revolutionary, reluctantly disguises himself in a dress, blonde wig, and what he calls "a pair of shoes that could only have fit a ballerina" to hide from the Russian police. Then there's the story of how as an escaped political prisoner, he travels through Siberia with a pickpocket as a companion, a man who proudly dubs himself Warsaw's "King of Thieves." As if that's not enough, the pair is rescued when Marateck, deep in Siberia, stumbles upon a now wealthy old friend, who also happens to be indebted to him for his life.
There's the story of how her grandfather, a newly enlisted soldier in the Russo-Japanese war and indignant after an unwarranted punch by a Russian officer, promptly smashes a teakettle across the officer's face.
At Barnard, Kranzler studied playwriting, and her first full-length dramatic work attracted the interest of a professional theatre. But after a series of tragic mishaps with the play's production, Kranzler abandoned creative pursuits in favor of more lucrative work in marketing and public relations, earning a degree from Yale School of Management along the way. Kranzler recalls that shortly after
graduation, she received a note from her mentor and Barnard professor, the late Howard Teichmann. "Get off your probably ample fanny and write," she remembers the note advising. She says, "I couldn't afford to."
In the past 15 years or so, Kranzler has returned to writing, and plans to revise an unpublished novel soon. A couple of years ago, she began work on her grandfather's diaries, after her mother, Anita Marateck Wincelberg, gathered Kranzler and her two brothers for a talk. "I want to see this published in my lifetime," her mother told them, referring to her father's journals.
Wincelberg's words echoed a dying wish made by her father. In the years after Marateck's sudden death from a heart attack, Wincelberg, along with her husband, Shimon, a writer for television and film, worked to fulfill her father's dream. In 1976, Kranzler's parents published The Samurai of Vishigrod, a close translation of the first 12 notebooks. The couple had planned to publish a companion featuring the later notebooks, but Shimon passed away in 2004, before they could do so.
In 2008, Kranzler agreed to take on the project, but only if she could do it her way, "starting from scratch, editing and rewriting," even "eliminating a number of fantastic stories," which didn't fit the narrative arc she designed. Kranzler says she didn't permit Wincelberg to read the work in progress, but when the book was completed, her mother remarked, "It sounds exactly like my father."

After representing the 17th Assembly District for six terms, it's not surprising that Tom McKevitt is running to represent the 13th Legislative District — which encompasses his hometown of East Meadow — a seat left vacant by longtime incumbent Norma Gonsalves.
The Herald endorses McKevitt to represent the 13th L.D. We believe that his experience in the State Assembly for the past 12 years has given him the knowledge needed to represent his new constituents. We like McKevitt's stance on combating the opioid epidemic by not only supporting a 72-hour hold on victims who have overdosed, but also supporting legislation that requires victims to stay at a treatment facility to help them overcome their addiction.
McKevitt is a knowledgeable elected leader who understands his constituents' concerns, including corruption and lack of transparency in the County Legislature. We especially like that as an assemblyman, McKevitt has coordinated and sponsored several programs, including blood donations and veterans' and senior health programs, and signed legislation for stricter penalties for DWI offenders, as well as Leandra's Law, which provides for additional charges for adults who are caught driving while intoxicated with minors in their vehicles.
His opponent, Eileen Napolitano, has gained a tremendous amount of experience since she last challenged Gonsalves in 2015 for the same seat. She has become known in 13 L.D. communities, and has advocated for educating the public — specifically students — about the opioid epidemic. We think Napolitano has a strong understanding of the issues that worry constituents the most, including taxes, corruption and affordable housing. Because she's also a longtime East Meadow resident, we encourage her to continue to run for local office, as she is a strong candidate.
But we believe that McKevitt's positive and efficient track record speaks for itself. Vote for him on Tuesday.

We have announced the Finalists and Honourable Mentions for the 2012 competition! You can download the complete list here. We will also be featuring the selected projects on the ADAA Gallery, which will go live with the new Finalists very soon.
This year, our 41 Finalists and 20 HMs are an eclectic group, coming from every corner of the world. We have representatives from: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and United States!
When we talked to Clare Erwin, the Senior Manager of Education Community at Adobe, she commented, "We're thrilled to see such a worldwide presence, with finalists and honorable mention recipients representing a total of nineteen countries. Seeing such a varied list of countries confirms we are connecting a worldwide community of next-generation designers to one another."
And "connecting" will be the name of the game when all the Finalists arrive in Toronto for the ADAA Awards Ceremony taking place on November 9, 2012. These designers will have a chance to meet each other, network, and attend RGDOntario's DesignThinkers conference, attended by some of the biggest names in design. Along with having their project presented at the ADAA gallery at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the Finalists will also participate in studio tours and design events happening around the city!
As you know, we pursue our mission of broadening the worldwide design community in the judging process as well.
"The judging process for the Adobe Design Achievement Awards brings together an impressive, diverse and accomplished group of design educators and professionals," commented Marilena Farruggia, Managing Director of Icograda. "This year, hailing from 16 different countries, our 50 judges enriched the program by contributing a unique cultural perspective and a wealth of design insight to their task of selecting deserving work."
And when we asked the judges for their comment on the finalists this year … they were clearly JAZZED by the results!
We send a hearty congratulations to all those who qualified this year! We look forward to meeting the 2012 Finalists in November and getting to know more about the people behind the designs that so impressed and inspired us.
Toronto: get ready!

Syria is rolling out the red carpet today for an unusually important visitor, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, whose arrival in Damascus represents a long-awaited public rapprochement between the Arab world's two bitterest rivals.
Abdullah – referred to with customary deference as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques – is holding two days of talks with President Bashar al-Assad on the staples of Middle East politics. Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, the Palestinians and Israel are all on the agenda.
In regional terms, this is a big deal and both sides are making a fuss, lavishing praise on each other and counting the blessings for Arab unity. Saudi royals don't travel light, and the king's heavyweight entourage – including a sizeable media "delegation" as well as the usual cohorts of security men, camp followers and servants – is occupying entire floors of Damascus's finest hotels.
But familiar images of powerful Arab leaders embracing mask an event of real significance: reconciliation between an ultra-conservative monarchy with an intimate relationship with the US, and a repressive republican regime that is Iran's only Arab ally.
The kiss-and-make-up between what Arab commentators call "the two Ss" marks the end of a bitter feud that began over the US invasion of Iraq and escalated four years ago when someone – widely believed to be working for Syria, despite denials from Damascus – murdered Rafiq al-Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister. Hariri, a billionaire Sunni businessman who did much to rebuild war-ravaged Beirut, was close to the Saudis and a major investor in the kingdom. A UN tribunal in the Netherlands is charged with bringing his killers to justice, but Syria seems confident it will not be held accountable.
After Hariri's assassination the Saudis and Syrians lined up behind different sides in Lebanon, so often the stage on which wider Arab tensions are played out. The Saudis backed Hariri's son Sa'ad; the Syrians supported the Hizbullah opposition, with its close links to Iran. It all turned very ugly in 2006, when Assad taunted the (US-backed) Saudis and Egyptians that they were "half men" and powerless in the face of Israel's onslaught on Lebanon.
A thaw began earlier this year at one of the Arab summits convened during the Gaza war, and Assad flew to Jeddah last month. However, it has not yet been possible to form a new Lebanese government following Sa'ad Hariri's resignation as prime minister-designate over demands made by Hezbollah. Lebanese pundits hope the Syrian-Saudi rapprochement will help resolve that crisis.
Broader international and regional factors are also in play. Under George Bush, the US had good relations with the Saudis, at least after the initial shock of 9/11, and correspondingly bad ones with Syria, which was furious at the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Barack Obama, by contrast, is mending fences with Assad. The Saudis, carefully reading the diplomatic coffee grounds, think it a propitious moment to do the same.
Abdullah also wants to close Arab ranks in the face of Obama's failure, so far at least, to make any headway with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Damascus and Riyadh are on opposite sides on the Palestine issue – with Syria backing the Islamists of Hamas, and the Saudis supporting Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah. Their reconciliation could prompt the divided Palestinians to follow suit.
The Saudis, with US support, also hope their improved relations with Syria will help draw Assad away from his odd-man-out alliance with Iran.
Assad's response before has always been that Syria has no need to choose between friends. It is not clear that his answer will be any different this time.

How to Alternate Tylenol & Motrin for a Fever
When your child has a medium to high fever–usually 101 degrees F or higher, some pediatricians recommend alternating Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin (ibuprofen) to help reduce the fever. Each medication has different timing for the doses, which can confuse parents who are worried about over medicating their children. Laramie Pediatrics in Laramie, Wyo., points out that the two drugs are different types of medicine, so it's OK to use them together, even giving the two medications at the same time.
Post-Pregnancy Headaches
After you've delivered your baby, you may think that the rough part is over and that your body will return to normal over the next few months. In most cases, this will be true.

Nobody is Better in Mobile
Fund: Nexit Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-11-12
I run a mobile company and I was looking for someone that would really understand what mobile is. A firm with connections in wireless, where it counts. I looked around Silicon Valley and I have to say the investors I have found with mobile knowledge are very few. Most have a narrow understanding of the space, driven by the US carriers. However, mobile has been happening somewhere else... Nexit is a boutique wireless VC, with extensive knowledge of the space. And they have people in the right places: Helsinki and Stockholm... If you add a partner in Silicon Valley, you have the perfect partner for any mobile company in the US. Hard to get on board, though... so play your cards right.PRIVATE: Members Only

49ers less than super beating Dolphins
Sergio Romo was in the 49ers' locker room after Sunday's game, wearing an Aldon Smith jersey, carrying a football and a Sharpie and asking for autographs. The Giants' closer had something that no usual groupie brings to an interaction: Romo was wearing a diamond-encrusted championship ring.
The 49ers noticed because that's what they're busy doing: chasing a ring. And when Jim Harbaugh made his unprecedented quarterback switch on a team storming toward the playoffs, he was - in essence - asking Colin Kaepernick to win a Super Bowl. To go two rounds better than Alex Smith.
So that's the standard every week, as December starts to trickle away toward the postseason: Is this team good enough to win a Super Bowl?
Providing an answer in the unpredictable 2012 NFC is a tricky business. Teams look like world-beaters one week, ordinary the next, and that includes the 49ers. Their followers swing wildly between delirium and misery.
The glass half-fullers will see the 49ers' 27-13 victory over Miami as evidence that their team is still the Super Bowl favorite. Despite a quiet offensive effort most of the day, the 49ers roared back to score two offensive touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Kaepernick showed off his unusual skills with a 50-yard touchdown run that put away the game. Frank Gore had some spectacular plays and went past 1,000 yards for the season. His new backup, LaMichael James, looked brilliant. Aldon Smith set a franchise record for sacks in a season.
The glass half-emptiers see nothing but red flags:
-- The offense could not effectively move the ball against the league's 20th-ranked defense.
-- The defense allowed rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill to mount a fourth-quarter touchdown drive.
-- The 49ers' first touchdown came about because of a Miami gift: a special-teams turnover at the Dolphins' 9.
-- The 49ers converted 20 percent of their third-down plays.
-- The 49ers committed boneheaded penalties at key moments.
-- Gore didn't reach 100 yards, for the sixth straight game.
-- Kaepernick was sacked four times.
-- The 49ers struggled with clock-management issues, using timeouts early and playing the last 14 minutes of the game without a timeout.
At home against Miami, the 49ers can get away with all of that. At New England and Seattle? Different story.
"These games are really hard, you know?" Harbaugh said. "Miami's a heckuva team. We knew that going in."
Real "heckuva" teams lie ahead, and the 49ers are going to have to be better if they want to beat the Patriots in chilly Foxborough on Sunday night. Or win in Seattle - against a team suddenly playing like one of the league's heavyweights - the following Sunday.
The 49ers retain their hold on the second seed in the NFC - and a first-round bye plus home-field advantage in the divisional round - by a slim margin. The Atlanta Falcons lost Sunday but are still the top seed at 11-2. Green Bay is just behind the 49ers at 9-4. Three teams - the Giants, Bears and Seahawks - are 8-5.
The 49ers have little margin for error heading into a brutal two-week stretch on the road. Up first: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, long the league's measuring stick for excellence.
"We understand who's going to have to win that football game, and we think it's going to be the defense," safety Donte Whitner said.
Whitner is probably right. For all the obsession about the quarterback position, the 49ers are a defense-first (and Gore-second) team. And the defense will have to try to stop Brady from controlling the game.
That doesn't mean the 49ers' offense will get a pass. It will have to be better to beat New England and Seattle. Buttoning down the clock management would be a good place to start.
"It seemed like it took a long time to get the play called in the huddle and then get up to the line of scrimmage," Harbaugh said, in a veiled critique of Kaepernick. "We just didn't have enough time to get it all inside the 40-second play clock. ...That's not good. Not the way you want to use your timeouts."
Sunday's game was pretty much a draw between the pro-Kaep and the pro-Alex camps. The 49ers won the game but didn't look dominant. The clock issues cried out for a "game manager." But Kaepernick made the read-option play in the final minutes that has everyone talking: pulling the ball down and running around left end for a touchdown. Alex Smith is mobile, but not that mobile.
The 49ers have a much more difficult schedule than last season, and no game is more challenging than the next one: a December trip to Bradyville.
"I think it's a big game for everybody," guard Alex Boone said. "We have to continue to win if we want to go where we want to go."
Where the 49ers want to go is that place Romo has been: the one where they give you a diamond-encrusted ring.
Anything else isn't good enough.

This information is provided by Archer Financial Services, Inc. 800-933-3996.
Values were lead lower by the wheat market which slipped nearly $.30 lower by Thursday morning. All of the grains have been affected by long liquidation as we approach the "fiscal cliff" with no agreement as yet.
However, increased selling in the wheat market may be tied to the expected rebalance by a major commodity fund early next year that has Chicago wheat second only to the soybean market in terms of long positions that will need to be sold out and moved into different commodities. The wheat market did catch a bid on Friday as the 37 million bushels of wheat sold last week was the largest weekly total in over a year.
Spot corn and soybean futures had an inside week, as support at last week's lows was tested, but not violated. All three major agricultural commodities have some chart damage to overcome before a low can be declared. Talk of a market bottom will take place if closes above $7.00, $14.50 and $8.00 can be achieved for March corn, soybeans and wheat respectively.
As we return to the trade next week the focus will be on what if any agreement was reached over the weekend. In addition, significant market length had left these markets over the past 60 days. When and how efficiently that money reenters the market will help to determine how much of a grain rally can occur as we flip over the calendar and set our sights on the January 11th Crop Production Report.
We would look for the grains to at least work back toward the middle of its recent trading range leading up to that report. I would like to wish everyone a Very Happy and Safe New Year!
