Key Morocco midfielder Younes Belhanda should be ready to play in his country's opening African Nations Cup finals match on Saturday despite a fitness scare at the weekend.
Belhanda suffered an adductor injury in training last week and doctors initially delayed a prognosis, sparking fears he might have suffered a serious setback ahead of their Group A encounter against Angola in Johannesburg at the start of the tournament.
However team officials said on Monday it had been a slight strain only and Belhanda, who helped Montpellier to the Ligue 1 title last year, would return to training on Tuesday.

MV baitfish
First-timer - going to be fishing (shore, no boat) on Martha's Vineyard mid-Oct. Any information on what type of bait should be around would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Scott |

The area bait consists primarily of:
- menhaden - sand eels - silversides - anchovies with other less prominent species: - mullet - mummichogs (prominent but less targeted) - flounder - crabs - worms For big fish: - squid - mackeral - sea herring - big bunker - shad - eels - large crabs and others I am leaving out. Despite this potpourri, to target stripers, bluefish, bonito and albies (possibly skippies) you only really need to have a very good representation of the basics and the rest are less critical but of course fishing being "fishing" any odd fly can save the day. My box would prioritize as follows (others may vary): #1 striper fly - 6" sand eel, #2 - juvie bunker, #3 - 4" silverside (, poppers, etc) #1 hardtail fly - epoxy silverside, #2 - anchovy, #3 - small sand eel (, others) I don't target bluefish but they find me anyway. If I had only one fly, it would be my tan deep eel. I have caught all of the above species on it (except skipjack). Night fishing on the island is good, although I haven't done much of it. I would fish big and slow in the surfline or currents at inlets. With the appearance of adult bunker in the region a large bunker pattern might be a good bet to get towed around by a big bass for a while. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Pay attention to Juro advise. Very concise and detailed.
Just a few additions - Pay close attention to size of bait this time of year. Quite often all other size patterns get rejected. Watch the bait carefully and see how its reacting around predators. Try to duplicate the movement. Some times you might have to switch lines to get it in the feeding zone or duplicate the movement. |

Juro and Ray,
Thank you very much for the information. Starting to make the switch from freshwater to saltwater tying mode. I love tying this stuff but it takes a little while to adjust to working on a bigger canvas. I'll start with the sand eels first, just to get the fingers talking to each other again. I've got flies for albies that we used at Harker's Island, but figure some of the patterns I've seen on this site might work better. I also figure there's going to be a lot of dead chickens after we get done tying up some of the bigger flies. Skunk or no, I'll let you know how we do. Regards, Scott |

Tickled Pink storms to success in the Abenant Stakes under Tom Queally
PICTURE: Mark Cranham (racingpost.com/photos)Sprint success for Cecil as Tickled wins Abernant
Report: Newmarket, Thursday
Connaught Access Flooring Abernant Stakes (Group 3)
6f, 3yo+
TICKLED PINK, a rare runner in a sprint for Sir Henry Cecil, dominated this event to defeat Jimmy Styles with plenty in hand.
Making all, the four-year-old travelled strongly throughout and was not hard pressed to score at 8-1. Hat-trick-seeking Move In Time, the 9-4 favourite, finished third.
Quick into her stride under Tom Queally, Tickled Pink showed a decent cruising speed to lead Jimmy Styles and Pandar, while The Cheka was forced to play catch-up after totally missing the break.
Entering the final two furlongs, Move In Time held every chance if good enough, but could never strike a serious blow as Tickled Pink smoothly repelled 20-1 shot Jimmy Styles by two lengths.
The winner, who is out of 2001 King's Stand Stakes heroine Cassandra Go, looks set for a rewarding campaign, having clearly thrived since landing her Yarmouth maiden last June, and Cecil will doubtless place her to best advantage.
Cecil said: "She's an improving filly and will have a Group-race programme. I'll just feel my way, but I thought she was worth running.
"She'll improve a lot when we get some better weather. She's going the right way."

Although there was a strong Islamist current in the Palestinian national movement of the British Mandate Period, the Israeli War of Independence (1947-49) and subsequent policies adopted by the Israeli government kept Islamism largely at bay until the 1970s. Islamism regained popularity in the wake of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, spreading to the Palestinian Territories and even into Israel itself as Israeli Arabs have shown increasing identification with their Palestinian cousins in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in recent years. Israeli preoccupation with secular Arab nationalist groups in the 1970s and 80s enabled Islamism to metastasize unfettered. Today, the phenomenon is manifested most concretely in the Islamic Movement of Israel. Increasingly, Israeli Islamists collaborate with secular Arab Israeli nationalists to undermine the security of the State of Israel and erode its Jewish identity.
Islamism, usually fused with Arab nationalism, was prevalent in the British Mandate of Palestine. The most powerful religious and political leader of the Palestinian community during that time, Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from 1921-36 and chairman of the Arab Higher Committee) promoted an Islamist Palestinian national identity at odds with religious coexistence. A popular slogan among al-Husayni's supporters during the 1936-39 Arab Revolt, which was aimed at expelling the British and Jews from Palestine, was "after Saturday, Sunday"; that is, after the Palestinian national movement drives out the Jews, it will turn on the Christian Arabs.1
Soon after fleeing Palestine in 1937 to avoid arrest, al-Husayni began advocating for a transnational jihad against the British presence in the Islamic world. When Iraqi officers launched a pro-Axis coup in 1941 against Iraq's pro-British monarchy, al-Husayni called upon all Muslims to wage jihad against Britain, which he accused of launching an all-out war on Islam.2 Al-Husayni then travelled to Berlin to cement an alliance with the Third Reich, where he recruited Bosnian Muslims for the SS and disseminated Islamist Nazi propaganda on Berlin Radio. After World War II, al-Husayni returned to Palestine and resumed his influential role in Palestinian politics, playing a leading role in the Israeli War of Independence and becoming the face of Palestinian nationalism until the formation of the PLO in 1964.
Despite Islamism's prevalence during the Mandate Period, a combination of factors served to marginalize the ideology for considerable time after Israel's creation. The first was the exodus of most of the Palestinian population of what would become Israel during the Israeli War of Independence. The second was the subjection of those who remained to military rule until 1966. (Until then, Israeli Arabs were deemed a security threat and lived under military control, which restricted their mobility. That year, however, Israeli Arabs were placed under civil government authority).3 Cumulatively, these trends prevented the organization of Israeli-Arab Islamist groups until the late 1970s, when Iran's Islamic Revolution gave new impetus to Islamism.
Following the Israeli War of Independence, Israeli authorities sought to suppress Islamism and craft an Israeli-Arab identity. To encourage Israeli-Arabs to identify with Israel, David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister, sponsored the creation of Arab political parties that advocated Jewish-Arab unity (e.g., the Democratic List of Nazareth in the 1st Knesset and the Democratic List for Israeli Arabs in the 2nd and 3rd Knessets) and were aligned with his own Mapai party. Ben-Gurion included those Arab parties in his government, with considerable effect. While most Muslim Israelis did not completely abandon their Palestinian identity, their inclusion in the political process and isolation from the rest of the Palestinian and Muslim worlds facilitated assimilation. However, in the wake of the 1967 Six Day War, Israeli Arabs were reunited with their Palestinian relatives in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and became eligible for the Hajj.4 Muslim preachers from the West Bank and Gaza Strip started imbuing Israeli-Muslims with a more conservative strain of Islam5 and Israeli Muslims began studying in Islamic institutions in those territories. Soon, Israeli Muslims began calling anew for gender segregation in their schools and other conservative practices that had been on the wane since 1949. While the simultaneous re-exposure of the Israeli-Muslim community to the wider Muslim world and end of military rule over Israeli-Arabs contributed to a drift towards Islamism, the radicalism did not reach threatening levels until after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
In 1979, Farid Ibrahim Abu Mukh founded Israel's first violent Islamist group, Usrat al-Jihad (the Family of Jihad). Born in 1937, Abu Mukh grew more religious at the age of 40 under the direction of Sheikh Abdullah Nimar Darwish, who would later found the Islamic Movement in Israel. Influenced by the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, Abu Mukh raised a band of 60-70 Usrat al-Jihad fighters and they trained with weapons in the "Triangle" area (a concentration of Israeli Arab towns and villages located in the eastern Sharon plain). The group sought to destroy Israel and forcibly impose Islamic mores on Israel's Muslim population. To this end, they burned Israeli forests and orchards6 and burned down a cinema in Umm al-Fahm for screening inappropriate films.7 However, the group was short-lived; in 1981, Israeli authorities arrested its leadership—including Darwish—forcing it to cease operations.
Upon his release, Darwish and some of his Usrat al-Jihad colleagues chose to pursue their Islamist goals peacefully. Although Darwish claims that the Islamic Movement dates back to the following he acquired in the early 1970s through preaching, the organization as it exists today actually emerged from the Muslim Youth Movement created after Darwish was released from prison in 1983.8 Darwish's movement rejected violence and commanded its members to obey Israeli law. It prioritized bringing secular Muslims back to Islam and providing public services, ranging from building schools to bus stop shelters, which the Israeli government did not provide.9 Since the Israeli government largely neglected the Arab sector, the Islamic Movement's provision of public services made it very popular over time.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Israeli government deemed secular Palestinian nationalism, as represented by Yasser Arafat's Fatah and George Habash's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the greatest threat to the peace. Therefore, Israel's political establishment increasingly viewed Islamism as an advantageous distraction from secular Palestinian nationalism. As a result, the Israeli government consistently overlooked the growth of Islamism within and beyond Israel's Green Line. In the 1970s, over the objections of moderate Palestinians,10 the Israeli government permitted Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, to register an Islamist group called Mujama al-Islamiya, first as a charity and then, in 1979, as an association.11 At first, the group devoted itself primarily to building schools, clinics, and libraries. Although Mujama al-Islamiya refrained from anti-Israel violence in its early years, its members sometimes clashed violently with members of the PLO. When the first intifada erupted in December of 1987, Yassin and some of his Mujama al-Islamiya colleagues founded the militant Hamas movement. In addition to promoting Islamic mores, such as the wearing of the hijab and polygamy, Hamas committed itself in its charter to waging an armed struggle to obliterate Israel. In 1989, an Israeli court convicted Yassin of ordering Hamas militants to kidnap and kill two Israeli soldiers. Then, in 1994, Hamas launched a wave of suicide bombings that would last, off and on, until 2005.12
Hamas's uncompromising approach, especially after the 1993 signing of the Oslo Accords, split the Islamic Movement of Israel. While the Islamic Movement's founder, Abdullah Darwish, supported the accords, a hard-line faction within the group identified with Hamas and consequently rejected the Accords. Sheikh Ra'ed Salah and Sheikh Kemal Khatib, the mayors of Umm al-Fahm and Kafr Kanna, respectively, led the hard-line faction, which was called the "Northern Branch" because its leaders came disproportionately from the Triangle region in Northern Israel.13 Darwish and Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsour led the more moderate Southern Branch.
This schism led to serious internal divisions within the movement. In 1996, Sheikh Ra'ed Salah advocated that all Arab citizens of Israel boycott elections.14 By contrast, Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsour of the Southern Branch ran for elections together with the Arab Democratic Party (now known as the "United Arab List"). Both Salah and Sarsour have been reported to support the eventual establishment of an Islamic Caliphate.15 Yet when Sarsour sought to run for the Knesset in the March 2006 elections, he argued that he was misquoted, and the Central Elections Committee permitted his list to participate.16 Conversely, Sheikh Salah has confidently declared that Israel "will not survive another 20 years," and that Jerusalem will soon be transformed into the world capital of Islam.17 Sheikh Kamal Khatib, his second in command, has publicly wished that Israel would soon be replaced by an Arab state run by Islamic law (sharia) as part of a greater Islamic Caliphate.18 Nevertheless, the leaders of the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement deny that they break the law and demand that the Israeli government accord them all their rights of citizenship.
Yet, during the 1990s, the Israeli Security Agency (GSS or Shin Bet) continuously closed down Northern Branch front organizations that were disguised as charities for transferring funds to Hamas. Then, incitement by the Islamic Movement played a part in perpetuating violence following the start of the second intifada in September 2000. Specifically, incitement by the group helped instigate clashes between Israeli Arabs and police in the Wadi Ara region in October 2000—clashes which left 13 protesters dead.19 The Islamic Movement was also instrumental in encouraging the intifada itself, with Sheikh Ra'ed Salah declaring that "the time has come [for us] to start an Islamic Muslim Intifada."20
More recently, global jihadism has had a similar polarizing effect on some Israeli Arabs. In 2010, four Israeli Arabs were among those charged by Israeli authorities with establishing a terror cell and killing a taxi driver.21 The accused had watched speeches of Osama bin Laden, and subsequently sought to join the fight against Jewish and Christian "infidels." Two of the plaintiffs had trained at an al-Qaeda camp in Somalia.22
Salah himself was arrested in 2003 and imprisoned for two years for raising millions of dollars for Hamas.23 He served another five months in prison for assaulting a policeman in 2007 at one of his many rallies against a notional Israeli plot to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock.24 In February 2011, he was arrested again, this time for setting trees on fire in protest of Jewish National Fund policies.25 Then, in June 2011, the British Home Secretary, Theresa May, banned Salah from entering the country due to a history of "fostering hatred which might lead to intercommunity violence in the UK," and ordered his detention when he arrived in the country five days later.26
During the first intifada, the Islamic Movement established the "Islamic Relief Committee," the stated purpose of which was assistance to injured Palestinians. However, experts have pointed out that this and other initiatives by the movement serve a larger strategic objective. "This is the way they work, from [providing] medical services to religious services to even soccer teams," Yitzhak Reiter of Hebrew University has noted. "If the government doesn't give enough money for sports activities or sports facilities, they will construct them by donations and provide the services. By so doing, they will attract particularly the poor – those that don't have enough money to pay."27
Today, that influence is extensive—and growing. Orna Simchon, director of the Israeli Education Ministry's Northern District, told a June 2010 Knesset Education committee hearing that out of approximately 500 recognized unofficial schools and preschools operating in the northern district, approximately 100 are operated by the Islamic Movement, with students subjected to Islamist indoctrination.28
On April 5, 2011, the Northern and Southern branches of the Islamic Movement signed a reunification deal and agreed to resume collaborating on projects and coordinate their positions on various issues.29 It is not yet clear whether the coordinated positions will follow the Southern Branch's more moderate line or the rejectionist line of the Northern Branch. As of May 2012, the reconciliation between the two branches appears to have stalled.
Israeli Arabs have collaborated with Palestinian terrorist groups from Gaza and the West Bank. In 1996, an Israeli Police anti-fraud unit discovered that two Israeli-Arab charities, one in Nazareth and the other in East Jerusalem, were distributing funds collected abroad to the families of Hamas suicide bombers.30 Then, in the summer of 1999, Hamas recruited Israeli Arabs to bomb two buses in northern Israel.31 In May 2011, the Haifa District Court sentenced an Israeli Arab to five years imprisonment for conspiring with his brother-in-law to gather an arms cache in Green Israel for Hamas.32 Around the same time, Israeli authorities arrested two Arab residents of East Jerusalem holding Israeli citizenship who were planning to attack Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium during a Premier League soccer match. Authorities divulged that the two men had longstanding ties with Hamas.33 Israeli Arabs have also collaborated with the smaller Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). In August 2008, Israeli authorities arrested a five-man PIJ cell, which included two Israeli Arabs, accused of planning an attack on an army checkpoint near Ramallah and of planning to assassinate Israeli pilots, scientists and university professors.34 Then, in January 2013, Israeli police detained three members of a PIJ cell at the Eyal Junction in the Sharon region. The arrested, including two Palestinians from Jenin and an Israeli Arab from Tira, planned to kidnap an Israeli soldier and trade him for the release of incarcerated Palestinian terrorists.35
Legal counsel for incarcerated terrorists have sometimes served as middlemen, illegally conveying messages between terrorist detainees and their colleagues outside of prison. For instance, in April 2011, Israeli authorities arrested four Arab-Israeli lawyers, one from Acre and three from Umm al-Fahm,36 for passing messages between prisoners and the Gaza-based leader of Mahajat El Kuds, a group with close ties to PIJ.37
Israeli Arabs likewise have proven susceptible to external influence from foreign media and foreign Islamist groups. Now ubiquitous satellite dishes enable Israeli Muslims to watch inflammatory Arab television channels, from al-Jazeera to Hezbollah's al-Manar. In February 2002, the head of Israel's General Security Service reported to the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Iran had succeeded in penetrating a minority of Israel's Arab population.38 According to Israeli Security Agency (ISA) assessments, following Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, Hezbollah—an Iranian proxy—has also focused upon penetrating the Israeli Arab sector. Hezbollah sees Israeli Arabs as advantageous operatives because they have the advantage of "being Israeli citizens" who enjoy freedom of movement and accessibility to targets, including security targets; they are familiar with the language and culture, hold social and economic contacts with Israelis, and also have access to both the Territories and abroad."39 Most of the infrastructure operated by the group exists in the West Bank and, to a lesser degree, in the Gaza Strip. While the majority of its activities are affiliated with Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Hezbollah also cooperates with Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).40
Even al-Qaeda has attempted to penetrate Israel; according to the IDF's Southern Command, the bin Laden network has attempted to penetrate the Egyptian border in order to establish terrorist cells in Israel.41 In July 2008, Israeli Police and the Shin Bet arrested six Israeli-Arabs, two of whom were students at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with alleged links to the al-Qaeda terror network who planned to assassinate U.S. President George W. Bush during his trip to Israel.42 The conspirators had been in contact with al-Qaeda over the Internet with the purpose of establishing a terror cell in Israel.43 There likewise have been cases where Israeli Arabs have aligned themselves with global jihad after exposure to Islamist material on the Internet.44
This trend has generated growing worries among Israeli policymakers. In 2007, Yuval Diskin, the head of Israel's General Security Service (GSS), was reported to have warned the Prime Minister's Office that Israeli Arabs were rapidly becoming a "strategic threat."45 The GSS report said that the "threat of Arab irredentism exceeded that of any external danger including Iran,"46 and that Israel's Arab population was a "genuine long-range danger to the Jewish character and very existence of the State of Israel."47
The Arab Spring has dramatically and negatively impacted Israeli security. First and foremost, the overthrow of the Mubarak regime in Egypt in February 2011 undermined law and order in the Sinai Peninsula, enabling al-Qaeda to establish a base there. As of May 2011, senior Egyptian security officials were estimating that over 400 al-Qaeda militants were then operating in the Sinai Peninsula.48 The growing Islamist presence in the Sinai has coincided with increasing terrorism originating from the territory. In August 2011, a cross border attack by militants belonging to the Mujahideen Shoura Council from the Environs of Jerusalem, an al-Qaeda affiliate founded in 2011 and operational in Gaza and Sinai, killed eight Israelis. The Mujahideen Shoura Council has since launched rocket attacks on Sderot in August 201249 and March 2013, during President Obama's visit to Israel,50 as well as Eilat in April 2013.51
To prevent future infiltration into Israel from the Sinai the Israeli government is building a steel barrier across its southern border from Gaza to Eilat.52 Jerusalem expects to complete the barrier's construction in early 2013.53 Attacks on infrastructure have likewise intensified; as of April 2012, Islamic militants had carried out at least fourteen attacks on the Egyptian pipeline passing through the Sinai that previously provided Israel with 40 percent of its natural gas.54
As the Syrian Civil War drags on, Israel increasingly fears the prospect of jihadists infiltrating the Golan Heights, which Israel conquered from Syria in the Six Day War in 1967 and annexed in 1981. Syrian Government troops have largely abandoned the Israeli-Syrian border, enabling opposition forces, including jihadists, to fill the void. In March 2013, fighters identifying themselves as the "Martyrs of Yarmouk" kidnapped 21 Filipino members of the UN Disengagement Observer Force, which monitors the buffer zone established between Syria and Israel after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Ultimately, the Filipino peacekeepers were released unharmed.55 However, to prevent terrorists from infiltrating Israel or a torrent of Syrian refugees fleeing the civil war, Israel is constructing a steel fence along the Israeli-Syrian border like the one along the Egyptian border.56
On the eve of Israel's 64th Independence Day in 2012, the State of Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) reported an Israeli population of 7.88 million. About 20.6 percent of that population was Arab57 and 17 percent was Muslim.58 However, the Muslim total fertility rate per woman (TFR) exceeds the Jewish TFR. In 2012, the Jewish Israeli TFR stood at 3.0, while the Muslim (TFR) equaled 3.5.59 And, a 2009 Bank of Israel report found that, as of 2007, the Muslim Bedouin of the Negev boasted a TFR of 5.62.60 Israel's Muslim population is concentrated in the Negev, East Jerusalem, the Galilee and Wadi Ara. Large patches of these localities already have Muslim majorities. But, the demographic trend is changing due to the high fertility rate of ultra-orthodox Jews. While 67.4 percent of newborns were Jewish and 26.2 percent were Muslim in 2000, in 2012 the numbers were 73.5 percent and 21.0 percent respectively.61 Nevertheless, the percentage of the population that is Muslim is growing.
These demographic changes are taking place as Israeli Arabs become increasingly alienated from the state. Seemingly indicative of this shift, a University of Haifa study conducted in May 2009 found that only 41 percent of Israeli Arabs recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state; in 2003, 65.6 percent had. It also noted that Holocaust denial cuts across all class sectors, with 40.5 percent of respondents believing that the Holocaust did not take place. In 2003, 28 percent made the same claim.62 The study's author suggested that through denying the Holocaust, many Israeli Arabs believe they are expressing opposition to Israel's existence.63
Similarly, a poll released by Haifa University professor Sami Smooha in 2011 found that over 62 percent of Arab Israelis said that Jewish Israelis are "foreigners who do not fit in in this region, and they will eventually leave the country."64 Two-thirds of Arab Israelis oppose defining Israel as the Jewish state and 30 percent want the state to disappear altogether.65 Yet, a June 2008 poll by Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government found that 77 percent of Israeli Arabs surveyed would rather remain in their native land as Israeli citizens than reside in any other country in the world.66 Former Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman proposes creating a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank and trading Israeli Arab towns, such as Umm al-Fahm, bordering the West Bank for Israeli settlements in the West Bank. But, a 2000 poll found that even in Umm al-Fahm, the headquarters of the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, 83 percent of the population wanted to remain under Israeli jurisdiction. And of those who wanted to remain in Israel, 54 percent gave their preference to remain in a democracy with high living standards as the reason.67
However, Israeli neglect of the Bedouin communities in the Negev and difficulty transitioning from a nomadic to sedentary lifestyle has spawned increasing alienation from the state that the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement is exploiting. When the military planned a parade through Rahat, Israel's largest Bedouin town, to celebrate Israel's 63rd independence day in 2011, the mayor of the town, Faiz Abu Sahiban, who belongs to the Islamic Movement, objected, preferring to commemorate the 1948 exodus of the Palestinian refugees instead.68 This came in the wake of violent resistance to the Israeli government demolishing a mosque built illegally on public land in 2010 by the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement.69 The Northern Branch is increasingly penetrating the Negev and successfully discouraging Bedouin from joining the IDF. And, as the Islamic Movement has gained control of more town councils in Bedouin areas, they have been able to use their authority to obstruct the hiring of Bedouin who serve in the military.70 Concerns that Bedouin alienation might breed violence increased when two Bedouin from the Negev, Mahmoud Abu Quider, 24, and his 21-year-old brother Samah, confessed in January 2013 to planning to fire rockets, mount a suicide bombing at the Beersheba Central Bus Station, and launch other attacks. Before their arrest, the brothers built several explosive devices and traded drugs for an IDF soldier's rifle.71
A number of former Israeli cabinet ministers, among them former Defense Minister Moshe Arens and Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, have echoed the findings of the Orr Commission, a panel of inquiry established by the Israeli government to investigate the events surrounding clashes that precipitated the second intifada. The Commission report stated that successive governments have neglected the Israeli-Arab sector, and Ben-Eliezer has warned that a continuation of this policy may lead to an "internal intifada," or uprising against Israel.72 Similarly, Mohammad Darawshe, Co-Executive Director of the Abraham Fund Initiatives, has advocated greater integration and equality for Israeli-Arabs.73 To date, however, the Israeli government has not done so; although it has invested economically in the Israeli-Arab sector, it has yet not begun a coordinated approach of integrating Israeli-Arabs into Israeli civil society.74
Israel has failed to factor in Islamism when formulating its strategic policies. Officially, Israel sees the issue of the political-legal status of Israeli-Arabs as a purely domestic matter without strategic implications. At the same time, however, it has traditionally refused to recognize Israeli Arabs as a national minority possessing collective rights apart from specific cases (such as in the education system and family law, each religious community being subject to its own clerical elite). This opening in the education system has enabled Israeli Arabs to cultivate a separate national identity—and created an ideological space in which Islamism can increasingly take root.
The education system in Israel has emerged as a notable ideological battleground in this regard. The country's Education Ministry has attempted to counter Islamism by banning the teaching of the Nakba ("catastrophe," the common Arabic reference for the establishment of Israel in 1948) in schools; by forcing students to sing Hatikva (the Israeli national anthem); and by encouraging military and national service as a criterion for rewarding schools and staff. Israeli Arab leaders have voiced opposition to the campaign to promote Israeli-Arab participation in national service, terming it a veiled attempt by the government to erode the community's sense of unity.75 And, many mosques refuse to conduct funeral services for Muslim Israeli soldiers killed in combat.76
The Israeli government has long hoped that Islamist tendencies among Israeli Arabs would be mitigated by the liberal-democratic culture of the state. Today, that assumption is being sorely tested, as Israeli Arabs become increasingly receptive to—and involved in—Islamist activities within Israel.

The Link between Environmental Innovation, Patents, and Environmental Management
This paper analyses empirically the relationship between environmental innovations, environmental management and patenting. In particular it tests a number of propositions on how environmental management systems and the interaction with environmentally more or less concerned stakeholders are associated with the probability of firms to pursue innovation in general (measured as patenting behaviour) and specifically environmental innovation (measured as firm self-assessment and based on patent data). In applying a negative binomial as well as binary discrete choice models the relationship is studied using data on German manufacturing firms. As a novel and important insight, the study finds that environmental innovation can be meaningfully identified using patent data and that environmental innovation defined this way is less ubiquitous than self-reported environmental innovation. It also reveals that the implementation level of environmental management systems has a positive effect exclusively on environmental process innovation, whereas it is negatively associated with the level of a firm's general patenting activities. For environmental product innovation and patented environmental innovations a positive relationship with environ-mentally concerned and a negative link with environmentally neutral stakeholders is found.

Travel Guide Europe Jersey Saint Helier
Saint Helier is the capital and largest town on the island of Jersey with a population of about 28,000 inhabitants. It is located in the southern coastal area of the island. Although being the capital, the Government House is situated in St. Saviour. Sain Helier is a more important town out of a historical perspective (people have been living at this place for hundreds of years) though and has the better tourist infrastructure. With several sights in town and a great stepping stone to the rest of the island, many visitors to Jersey base themselves here.
Elizabeth Castle was built off the coast of Saint Helier in the late 16th century. It was built because the power of cannons made the old castle of Mont Orgueil useless. Eventually the Governors of Jersey moved their official residence to the castle for more protection. The castle was site of many bloody battles during the English Civil War during the mid 17th century. In 1923 the British government gave the castle to the States of Jersey and the castle was opened to the public as a museum. The castle has remained a museum except during a brief period when the German occupied the castle and installed guns, bunkers and other battlements. For the offcial website click here.
Saint Helier has a typical maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters. Temperatures in summer average around 20 degrees during the day or a bit less. Winters are generally above zero with a few degrees below zero sometimes at night. Variations in temperatures, both between summer and winter as well as between days in the seasons, are low. Rain is possible year round, though autumn and winter is a bit wetter compared to the late spring and summer season.

Wednesday at 8/7c on FOX
Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur Joe Bastianich and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot return for Season Four of the culinary smash hit MASTERCHEF with a two-hour season premiere on Wednesday, May 22 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
More hopefuls than ever before auditioned at MASTERCHEF's open casting calls in Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Cleveland, OH; Dallas, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Minneapolis, MN; Nashville, TN; New York, NY; Portland, OR; and San Diego, CA to prove they have what it takes to make a mark on the culinary world. Only one hopeful will join Season Three winner Christine Ha, the first-ever blind contestant; Season Two winner Jennifer Behm; and Season One winner Whitney Miller in the elite group of MASTERCHEF titleholders. The best home cooks in America were flown to Los Angeles to present their signature dishes to the judges and the chance to compete for the coveted title of MASTERCHEF, a cookbook deal and the $250,000 grand prize. This season will feature contestants representing 26 states from all walks of life– including an archaeologist, a high school gym teacher, a former pro-football player, a biochemist, a student, a firefighter, a paralegal and a delivery driver – all with the hopes of turning their culinary dreams into reality.
The auditions continue Wednesday, May 29 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), as the judges winnow down the competition by granting white aprons to the best home cooks. Only 40 hopefuls will move onto the next round and compete in an intense lamb challenge. By the end of the episode, only the top home cooks who impress the judges will advance to the MASTERCHEF kitchen and compete to become America's next MASTERCHEF.

Faeries, The Silver Lands (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
" | Well, yes, it's unfair. I can fly and you can't. | " |
—Dahlia, faery sorceress. |
The faeries are the chief executives in Rytha, taking a place in Rythan society that was long occupied by the elves (although the elves retain the sprite's undying loyalty). Over three-hundred years ago, the elves were the absolute rulers of Rytha, but internal squabbling between the dusk and autumn elves made the faery rebellion fairly easy. Now, the faeries have ruled Rytha with a firm hand, waging an everlasting war upon their Bas'Meran neighbors. Most faeries are around four feet tall.
- +2 dexterity, +2 intelligence, +2 charisma, -2 strength, -4 constitution.
- Small
- Humanoid (faery)
- Faery base land speed is 20 ft. Base fly speed is 40 ft (average).
- Low-Light Vision.
- Immunity to sleep effects.
- Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day: sleep.
- SR 8 + hd.
- Automatic Languages: Rythan.
- Favored Class: sorcerer.

Everyone is very nice and the dorms are well kept. Everyone interacts with each other with kindness and there is always something fun to look forward to.…
The food is excellent and they provide you with that all you can eat buffet plus the salad bar along with the sandwich section and the grill. EXCELLENT and Jane the cashier is AWESOME!!
Read MoreDo not really eat on campus, but Starbucks is good.
Read MoreFor those who like to eat, Elms has a buffet style cafeteria.
Read MoreThe food can be good. The grill station, known for its philly cheesesteaks, curly fries, and quesadillas is the best option when other stations are closed/other stations don't look appetizing. It's your best option. There is also a miniature Starbucks/deli if you don't have time for a sit-down lunch. The Starbucks/deli stand closes around 6:30 pm, but the cafeteria has coffee, too. The entrees are hit-and-miss, but the dessert counter, multi-flavor ice cream cooler, and salad bar are always there. You can get omelets and waffles at breakfast and weekend brunch. They have vegan and vegetarian options at each meal.
Read MoreFood and dining is very good, but is also not a five star either. The food are very diverse and well cooked.
Read MoreThe food is pretty good but could have more variety.
Read MoreElms has made their food and dining plan affordable and easy. They have set up a new program which includes all you can eat meals. Upon entering the cafeteria, the student is required to scan an ID card given to them at the beginning of the year. This grants you unlimited access to the cafe for the rest of that meal period, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can purchase a bundle of scan points or there is now also an unlimited option. These points also come with guest passes and coffee cafe dollars. As far as taste and selectivity of the food I am extremely pleased and wouldn't change a thing. ElmÃ?Â?s cafeteria features a grill, salad, sandwich, soup, and home style dining section every day. Additionally, they have meals featuring different ethnicites such as a Japanese sushi day and Indian cuisine day. They also include free events such as midnight pancakes during finals week and ice cream socials.

Carlin Ross had a career in law and telecommunications and moved on to work with woman's sexuality. She is currently partnered up with Betty Dodson, where they run a sex information site helping women around the world achieve orgasm.
What do you think characterizes a positive attitude towards sex?
Someone who has sex for pleasure and connection NOT to get things or
manipulate people. Also, someone who knows how to stimulate
themselves and shares that with their partner.
Why do you think masturbation is important?
We masturbate in utero…when we're a fetus. It's how we become
sexual beings so if it's blocked we can't move forward and have
satisfying partner sex. Also, it's the constant in our lives. You
will always masturbate.
Describe your first experience with masturbation.
I remember playing in the bathtub with the water running. Maybe I was
6 or 7. I was taking this little boat and dunking it under the stream
of water – the water hit my vulva and it felt good. I didn't think
about it or know exactly what I was doing but I scooted forward so the
stream ran directly over my clitoris and had an orgasm. From then on,
I love love loved bath time.
How do you like to pleasure your? (any specific places, motions, etc.)
I use the 3 toys: the Hitachi Magic Wand, the Split Dildo and some lubricant. I used to have tension orgasms but now I follow Betty's Rock 'n Roll technique. Spread your legs apart holding the vibrator over your vulva. Then rock your pelvis forward and then back so the vibrator runs from the top of your pelvic mound to your vaginal opening. Just keep doing that – keep breathing – and ride the waves of orgasm.
What is your favorite sex toy?
My filthy mind
Any sort of rape scenario (I know it's taboo that's why it's hot) or a
scene where my boyfriend walks in on my having sex with someone else.

There are a lot of different ideas and theories as to what is the best method of aftercare for your tattoo. I honestly believe that not one particular method will work best for everyone, seeing as everyones biology is different, I believe it takes time and experience to figure out what in particular method works for you.
Here is a set of instructions that I believe works well for many people, and have used this method on myself successfully:
-No more then a few hours after the finish of your tattoo, you should remove the bandage and wash the tattoo. I personally recommend you wash the tattoo with an anti-bacterial hand soap, such as Dial antibacterial hand soap, to reduce your risk of infection. Also use luke-warm water as opposed to hot water, which would burn the tattoo. It is important to wash the tattoo lightly, but be sure to remove all ointment, blood, and any other residue.
-After washing the tattoo, apply an ointment. Some commonly recommended ointments would be Bacitracin, A+D Ointment and Aquaphor. I would recommend staying away from vaseline and petroleum jelly. It is VERY IMPORTANT to only use a very tiny amount of ointment that you lightly rub into a thin, shiny, "barely there" layer over the tattoo. The tattoo should just have a slight sheen after rubbing in the ointment. Using too much ointment can over saturate the tattoo and cause excess scabbing or scabs to come off prematurely. It is NOT "the more the better."
-I would recommend use of the ointment for around 3-5 days. During these days wash your tattoo every morning right when you wake, and right before bed. It is also important to wash the tattoo several times throughout the day. The more you wash your tattoo, the easier and faster your tattoo will heal. If your tattoo is in a hard to reach area, have a friend assist you, just make sure they wash their hands thoroughly before they do so. If you do not keep your tattoo clean, you run the risk of both infection and excess scabbing which could result in poor healing. During these first few days, depending on where your tattoo is located the tattoo may be prone to swelling, using a bag of ice, elevating the tattooed area, and taking ibuprofen can help reduce the swelling.
-Around the 3-5th day, you should notice your tattoo has formed a thin, hard layer, which will begin to peel. The peeling is similar to that of a sunburn peeling, only the skin will come off in the colors of the tattoo, this is normal. At this stage in the healing process you can switch from using the ointment to a non-scented hand lotion. Aveeno, Curel, and Lubriderm non-scented are some common recommendations. For the next 2 weeks, keep washing the tattoo and use the lotion as needed. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent cracking and bleeding. There may be a couple scabs on your tattoo that take longer to come off then others, some taking up to a few weeks to come off. If this is the case just let the scabs fall off on their own and be mindful not to pull them off prematurely, as this could result in loss of ink. The majority of your tattoos healing should be over in 2 weeks, but it does take up to 4 weeks for a tattoo to be fully healed.
Things to avoid during the tattoo healing process:
-Try not to sleep on your tattoo. Example, if the tattoo is on your back, sleep on your stomach. Not only will the tattoo become stuck to your clothing and linens, it will leave a lovely imprint on your sheets. Should you wake up and your clothes are stuck to your tattoo, do not rip them off, for this could result in ripping off scabs. Instead wet the area of clothing that is stuck to the tattoo with water and it will become unstuck.
-Avoid submerging the tattoo. Soaking in water could cause scabs to come off prematurely. Also avoid swimming due to possible bacteria and irritants in the water. So no ocean, lake, pool, jacuzzi, or bath tub for 2 weeks! Showers are okay… and encouraged.
-Avoid the sun! Getting sunburn on your tattoo can cause some serious problems. Think of your tattoo as like healing a bad sunburn, you wouldn't want to get more sun on it. If your going to be in the sun for an extended period of time, wear loose cotton clothing over the tattoo.
-Avoid wearing tight clothing that will rub onto the tattoo, excessive rubbing can lead to scabbing and loss of ink. Some key areas where this is common is around the pants line and the bra line. Try to wear loose fitting cotton clothing over the tattooed area so that its breathable, or if your not in public, go without! If you had your foot tattooed, try to stick to a more open type of shoe such as a flip-flop. Also, the first couple days of healing the tattoo will tend to "ooze" in the colors of the tattoo that tend to stain fabric, so do not wear your sunday best!
-Avoid over working the tattooed area. For example, if you are an avid gym goer, lay off the arm exercises for 2 weeks if you just had your arm tattooed. Or, if you just got your foot tattooed, don't plan a hiking or 5 hour mall trip. Over working the tattooed area can result in scabbing and poor healing. Working out will also cause you to sweat which is also not good for the tattoos healing process.
Infection is not super common but lets face it, with so many invisible bacteria floating around out there its bound to happen at some point, heres some tips on dealing with your tattoo should it become infected:
-First and foremost is how to tell if your tattoo is indeed infected, some key signs of tattoo infection are a red haze surrounding the tattoo after its already past a week or more of the healing process, which also could be accompanied by a white haze over sections of the tattoo, indentation of the tattoo, extreme scabbing which may turn green or yellowish, bad smell, and puss. Contacting your tattoo artist so they may confirm whether or not your tattoo is infected and ways to combat the infection is a good idea, although the best way to deal with an infection is by calling you physician, they will know the absolute best way to combat your infection and may prescribe you antibiotics.
-The best ways to avoid infections are by keeping your tattoo clean and by making your artist aware of any sensitivities or allergies you may have before getting tattooed. For example, many tattoo artists use latex gloves during the tattooing process, if you have an allergy to latex let your tattoo artist know ahead of time so they can switch to nitrile gloves. Also, many people have a sensitivity to certain tattoo inks, red ink is a common color that people have a sensitivity to because of the nickel content in that particular color. An easy way to tell if you have a nickel allergy is by wearing a piece of cheap costume jewelry, which is commonly nickel coated, and will discolor your skin black if you are allergic to it.
After your tattoo is healed
-In order to keep your tattoo looking good for as long as possible, it is important to keep your skin moisturized, and when your going to have prolonged sun exposure, use sun block to help avoid fading.
Every different artist has there own ideas and theories as to what is the best way to take care of your tattoo. There are many ways to heal a tattoo and this is just one, as I said before, everything written here is just my own personal theory and experience. I recommend listening to the advice of your own personal tattoo artist, or if you have already come up with an after care plan that works for you, I recommend sticking with it.

The 49ers came out with their final injury report and there are some surprises. CB Chris Culliver (knee, illness), WR Ted Ginn (ankle), DT Ray McDonald (hamstring), TE Delanie Walker (jaw), WR Kyle Williams (concussion) are all listed as "questionable" meaning they have a 50-50 chance of playing.
Walker is the only one who did not participate in any of the practices this week, indicating that he's unlikely to play. Rookie Culliver is the most concerning, after participating in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Culliver did not take part in Friday's walk through. That might be due to his illness. The 49ers need all the cornerbacks possible for Saturday's game against the pass-happy Saints.
McDonald and Williams said they would both be available for this game. I suspect McDonald, Williams, Ginn and Culliver would play.

When I was a kid, my father had used it for almost 2 years. He is fans of floral scents, and this fragrance was one of his favourite. He said that it is woman fragrance, but not so feminine. So sad that his favourite perfume store does not sell it any more.
Finally Miss Jaguar arrived at my mail. The only reasons to why I get it are its cheap price and it is vintage! When I smell it, I notice something familiar. My first guess is Rochas Fleur L'Eau. They are close, but i haven't hit my jackpot. I tried sniffing everything in my wardrobe but it did not help. I wore it and figure out that while it is good as a collection, my skin loathes Miss Jaguar. As I'm home, I finally realize it was L'Eau d'Issey! Yes, it indeed is.
I love the opening on this one, but after a half hour on my skin it smells almost identical to CK Eternity - All I get is heliotrope and musk. There is nothing offensive or harsh about this fragrance, but because I like the Eternity bottle more, Miss Jaguar sat in a drawer for almost a year :(
Yes ,I have only good feedback everytime i wore it .It's my No.1 perfume.
Absolutely agree with Onimoka!
I am so glad that finaly this fragrance is in Fragranticas database! This parfume is my NR 1.Never tired of it. It is sharp but in a good way. Fresh and sweet at the same time. long lasting. Appropriate for all times of the year, day and night. Not unisex like at all. I have only got good feedback on this one every time I have it on me. I guess, you could compare it with L'Eau par Kenzo. Only,in my opinion, Kenzo is a bit lighter, softer. Miss Jaguar should never dissappear from my collection :)
It is too bad that Jaguar does not produce this one any longer. But you can still find it on the internet.
P.S Miss Jaguar was the reason why I am here in Fragrantica. One day I was searching for this fragrance, hoping to find its notes pyramid and I found this site:) Well,now I have my treasure and it is a pleasure to share it with the other perfume lovers like me!

Comments about Ovo Suite:
This is the best hamster cage I have purchased yet. It is easy to put together, allows for add ons/ variations, and gives the hamster a realistic environment similar to one they would have in the wild. The wheel is quiet, and the different modules/tunnel tubes add for added exercise. I find the food tray which is elevated keeps their food off the ground which was a problem before and their bedding stays inside and off the floor as well. So far the smell has been better as well compared to the traditional wire cages. They each use their home differently and have seemed to enjoy the new environment change so far!

Marlins-Tigers trade is a very good one ... unless of course you're Jacob Turner
The trade between the Tigers and Marlins worked out nicely for everyone.
Everyone expect Jacob Turner, that is.
Turner was in the Tigers' rotation but was told by the Marlins he was going to Triple-A once the trade was consummated that sent veteran righthander Anibal Sanchez and veteran infielder Omar Infante to Detroit for the righthanded pitching prospect Turner, catching prospect Rob Brantly and lefthanded pitching prospet Brian Flynn.
The trade worked for the Marlins, as it got some fine young talent while trading two solid veterans who weren't in the long-term plans. And it certainly worked for the Tigers, as they filled their gaping season-long hole at second base and added a veteran starter at a time the rotation seems to be coming together nicely.
But it was tough break for Turner, who was in the rotation for the Tigers but sent to the minors by the Marlins. Turner had just beaten the White Sox 6-4 Sunday as Detroit moved into first place. Overall, his ERA wasn't great -- 8.03 in 12 1/3 innings with Detroit -- but a demotion didn't appear in the offing with first-place Detroit.
