DIABALY, Mali — The militants came with gifts of dates, milk, peanuts, cookies and plastic prayer beads, extolling Islam and promising townspeople they wouldn't hurt them. They took over houses, unloaded truckloads of ammunition, food and water and ordered families not to run away.
They took down the national flag from the school and replaced it with a black Islamic flag. They blasted the concrete cross off a church.
They wore turbans covering their faces like masks, but spoke gently, promising to pay for any damage they caused.
When not shooting, they slept, ate and prayed.
The Al Qaeda-linked Islamic fighters seized Diabaly in a dawn assault on Jan. 14, three days after France launched attacks on militants elsewhere in Mali to destroy what it called the threat of a new terrorist state in West Africa, one capable of exporting terrorism to Europe and beyond.
The militants' assault on this central Malian town laid bare the country's weak, shambolic army, which was in danger of ceding the entire country to the extremists. The Islamists had already seized the north, where they imposed a harsh form of sharia, or Islamic law, that included the hacking off of people's hands for relatively minor offenses.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Move over Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The 2011 Afghan Hound Club of America (AHCA) Rescue calendar is about to go to press. Never have there been more blonde bombshells or stunning pin-ups. The rescued dogs featured will take your breath away… but, let's face it, I am biased. I happen to be editing the calendar for the second year.
Everyone has a favorite breed. To me there are dogs, and then there are Afghans. I was hooked around age five when we visited a family with a majestic Afghan lounging in the kitchen. Over the last 30 years we have owned six of these beauties, often dubbed the "King of Dogs," so working on the calendar profiles is a labor of love.
Our national breed club publishes a calendar to raise money for rescue efforts throughout the U.S. Owners compete for a spot. This year my Edgar Afghan Poe wearing his Dracula cape is Mr. October. Next year, my duo will be dressed in Mexican garb. Marilyn Danko of the West Missouri AHCA Rescue is a fabulous, photo magician. She and her husband share their farm with pack of Afghans, many rescued. Marilyn is extremely qualified. At her day job for Northrop Grumman, she updates coursework and graphics teaching Air Force students to fly B-2s (Stealth Bombers).
I was recruited after tragic circumstances. Randy Byal of Indiana edited the calendar for several years but in 2009 he died suddenly while walking his two beloved Hounds. One Afghan bolted in panic and was killed by a train. The other lives with Randy's twin brother.
After I learned Marilyn was working alone, I offered to help with the 2010 calendar. Actually the stories submitted for 2011 contain sillier Afghan antics. We feature about 50 dogs (not counting the ones who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge). My job is to make their stories flow, and to trim them to 250 words so we can squeeze in two per month - not an easy task when some proud parents send one thousand words. Ever shrinking drafts get emailed back and forth.
Afghans are high maintenance dogs - physically, because grooming and exercise are a commitment and mentally, because of their fragile psyches. Afghan Rescue is the breed's vigilant safety net. Presently a Korean import on a base in Alaska hit the Afghan Rescue radar screen.
The calendar's shining stars are from various backgrounds. Some are re-homed when loving owners die. Ten-year- old "Gibson" was once in Vanity Fair ads and commercials but needed a new home when his owner became too ill to care for her dogs. Others come from hoarders, shelters, backyard breeders, even a dumpster. Five like "Shatow" were found roaming the Mohave Desert in dreadlock mats after authorities told a collector he had to downsize. Another 13-year-old went to a kind man upstate because her military family was sent to Italy and the dog couldn't weather the flight.
Cinderella herself would rejoice in these Afghan rags to riches talks. Each victimized vagabond transforms when placed in the safe arms of those who understand and appreciate their potential. "Shorty" is an agility ace even though she was sold with an untreated fractured leg; "April Rain" was born with micro-opthalmia (one eye is smaller and virtually useless) but that doesn't stop her from tagging and tackling her dog pals; "Kronos" one of the 67 from the New Mexico hoarder goes to work each day with his veterinarian Mom.
I am inspired by the lengths Afghan devotees go to rescue these waifs. Erica Lampart flew from Switzerland to Los Angeles to save an Afghan from the New Mexico seizure only to have the airport lose her new dog. After two hours of "Shamir" speeding down the runway, 50 policemen were able to corner him. "April's" Mom drove round trip from Missouri to Texas to fetch the partially blind pup while "Winchester's" Mom traveled from Atlanta to Indiana to remove him from squalid conditions. Both dogs had been on Craig's List.
Once relaxed, Afghans become comedians, beautiful buffoons. "Jackson" rides with his blonde head out the sunroof. "Emma" longs to launch a lingerie line. She steals bras, particularly black ones, and wiggles them on correctly. "Cisco" and "Spotty" were from a terrible start. These brothers drag everything through the doggy door - Shop Vac, heating pad - whether you want it or not. Every remote, cell phone, even the Colorado E-Z pass has trademark teeth marks. Their loving owners just look at them and laugh.
To my delight, many calendar Afghans are dogs I know. Some of them I named. "Kronos" (originally "Frost" after the poet) is Edgar's Afghan Poe's brother. "Farrah" is a puppy I pulled from Hempstead Shelter and named in a Circle of Life tribute. Farrah Fawcett had just died, and in the ,70s my first Afghan's mother had been named for the actress. "Farrah" spent months living with Ulrike Reinisch, a veterinarian behaviorist in CT where she got over her fear of other dogs, and was groomed for this glamour shot by Anna Stromberg who handled this year's Westminster Best of Breed winner. "Farrah" now lives in a Soho loft with two Terriers. Each day tourists ask for photo ops alongside her on NYC streets.
And then there is my sweet "Whitman", also from New Mexico. He'd been renamed "Theo" so at first his profile didn't register. He is a happy Adonis unscathed by his ordeal. "Theo" loves all animals and people. His new Mom sums him up when she writes: "To quote Walt Whitman, his original namesake: 'I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.'" At $15 each the 2011 Afghan Hound Club of America calendars make gorgeous holiday gifts. They are the only thing that anyone on your list needs. To order: mail checks to AHCA Charitable Trust c/o Barb Hastings, 4071 Gurnee Rd., Westfield, PA 16950 or go to afghanhound.net.
For Adoption at Oyster Bay Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset: Too bad there isn't a Borzoi Mix Rescue. Ten year old Kelly #408 resembles a stately Russian Wolfhound. "Flower" # 344 is an outgoing 2 year old tuxedo cat but her cage is behind the door so she is hard to notice. Adoptions are FREE (including spay/neuter) for the month of September. Theonly fee is $2.50 for NYS dog licenses. Dogs: "Tut" #236- white Shepherd mix; "Tripod" #367- black Pit with the amputated leg.

At Emirates, it is our goal to provide each and every passenger with unparalleled convenience and comfort.
To achieve this level of service, we recognise that not all passengers are alike - many have unique needs that require additional consideration. One way we try to accommodate these travellers is to provide extra baggage allowances for those whose circumstances require it.
Generally, the amount of baggage you can check is based on weight or number of bags. If you go over this baggage allowance, you usually have to pay an excess baggage charge. Baggage allowance may vary depending on your route, class of travel and your Emirates Skywards membership tier. You can use our baggage allowance calculator to see exactly how much baggage you can check on your flight without charge.
In certain cases, however, extra baggage may be checked without any additional excess baggage charges. See below for further information. If you are unsure, get in touch with us before making your flight booking.
For travel on Emirates to or from North, Central and South America, the piece concept applies on the entire ticketed journey. Excess baggage will be charged at the point of baggage acceptance up to the tagged destination. If your journey involves a stopover, the excess baggage will be charged from the stopover point to the final destination at piece concept rates.
Passengers with disabilities are entitled to extra baggage allowances, free of charge, as follows:
Passengers travelling with infants (under two years of age) on any route not including North, Central or South America may check in up to 10 kgkilograms (22 lbpound) of baggage for the infant. This baggage allowance will be shown on the infant's ticket.
Passengers travelling with infants (under two years of age) on any route that includes North, Central or South America, may check one piece of baggage for the infant, regardless of cabin class. This baggage allowance will be shown on the infant's ticket. This piece must be 23 kgkilograms (50 lbpound) or less, with total dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 115 cmcentimeter (45 inches).
You may also bring one carry-cot or one fully collapsible stroller as a carry-on item if cabin space is available or as checked baggage at no extra charge.
See how Emirates makes travelling with infants safer, easier and more comfortable.
Sports equipment is subject to normal excess baggage charges if it exceeds your baggage allowance. Some items, such as ski equipment, may be subject to additional charges. You can use our baggage allowance calculator to see exactly how much baggage you can check on your flight without charge and to calculate your excess baggage charges.
If you intend to take a bicycle as checked luggage, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance. Special packaging rules may apply.
All fireworks and any other items containing explosives, for example Christmas crackers, firecrackers, bottle rockets, poppers and sparklers are forbidden to be carried either as carry-on baggage or as checked baggage on our flights.
For more details about transporting SCUBA diving equipment, golf clubs, sporting weapons, firearms and ammunition, please read our FAQ on sports equipment.
Pets are not permitted in the cabin, with the exception of falcons between Dubai and certain destinations in Pakistan. Depending on the individual circumstances, pets must be carried either as cargo, or as checked baggage in the hold. The charge for the animal(s) and container will depend on the weight and size of the animal plus cage combined. These charges will apply in all cases, even when no other checked baggage is being carried.
Please take note of the following weight and size restrictions for animals travelling as checked baggage:
Please contact Emirates well before your flight to confirm any required procedures (such as permits, tests, vaccinations, etc) to allow your pet to travel – you must complete these before Emirates can make final arrangements for your pet. Note that this process can take a long time, especially in complex cases. Once complete, please allow one week to submit your paperwork to Emirates ahead of your flight.
Emirates is unable to provide a special free baggage allowance for the carriage of musical instruments. Musical instruments must be handled as normal checked or cabin baggage (subject to cabin baggage limitations) or be transported on a paid-for seat in the passenger cabin.
If you check your instrument, it will be subject to normal excess baggage charges if it exceeds your baggage allowance. You can use our baggage allowance calculator to see exactly how much baggage you can check on your flight without charge and to calculate your excess baggage charges.
Please note that certain conditions and limitations may apply when transporting musical instruments. To review these conditions or if you have any questions regarding musical instrument transport, please get in touch with us.
When departing from Mauritius, a special charge applies for the transportation of ship models, and can't be included as part of your standard baggage allowance.
For the first 10 kgkilograms, a charge of EUR 150 applies, and for the next 10 kgkilograms a charge of EUR 50 applies.
The maximum weight of the ship model is 20 kgkilograms.

WASHINGTON, April 4 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law Wednesday legislation that bans insider trading by Congress.
The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 prohibits members of Congress, executive branch employees, federal judges and judicial employees from using "non-public information derived from their official positions for personal profit," the White House said.
The new law also requires that financial forms of certain federal employees be made available to the public electronically.
"The STOCK Act makes it clear that if members of Congress use non-public information to gain an unfair advantage in the market, then they are breaking the law," the president said Wednesday at the bill signing. "It creates new disclosure requirements and new measures of accountability and transparency for thousands of federal employees. That is a good and necessary thing. We were sent here to serve the American people and look out for their interests -- not to look out for our own interests."
Obama, who had called for the legislation in his State of the Union address, said further measures to "limit the corrosive influence of money in politics" are needed.
"We should limit any elected official from owning stocks in industries that they have the power to impact. We should make sure people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can't lobby Congress, and vice versa. These are ideas that should garner bipartisan support," he said.
He said "the idea that everybody plays by the same rules" a cherished American value. "It goes hand in hand with our fundamental belief that hard work should pay off and responsibility should be rewarded."
The measure received bipartisan support from the House and Senate.
A CBS News "60 Minutes" report last fall spotlighted alleged congressional insider trading. The report relied heavily on research from Hoover Institution research fellow Peter Schweizer.

Class of 2002: Dream happily deferred for her family
As an 18-year-old senior at St. Bernard High School with an interest in art, Rebecca Louise Cowen was college bound and hoped to one day work at a museum or for the History Channel.
She graduated from Emmanuel College with a BSA in Art History and then life happened.
Now Rebecca Buchholz, she lives with her husband, Brian Buchholz, and their children, Kaleb, 4, and Landon, 1, outside of Fort Meade, Md., where Brian works as a U.S. Navy cryptologist.
Buchholz, 28, would like to get an advanced degree one day and still hopes to work in a museum setting, but for now she is staying at home with the kids.
During a recent phone interview, her youngest son, who weighed just 18 ounces when he was born prematurely in April 2011, gurgled contentedly in the background.
"It's rewarding and crazy," she said of her life. "My dreams have changed to a point where I look at what's feasible for the family. Back then it was just myself. Now I have three other people to think about."
She met her husband-to- be, a Waterford native, when they worked together in the produce department at Shop-Rite in New London during their high school years. They were engaged shortly before her college graduation and married a year later, in 2007.
Brian Buchholz, who graduated from the University of Connecticut, joined the Navy in 2008.
"It was what seemed to be best for the family with the economy going the way it was," Buchholz said.
Both had come from Navy families.
"We had an idea what it was like," she said. "We knew it was a steady job and he would be able to receive an education and advance."
She plans to go back to work eventually, but has decided, with her husband, that it is best if she stays at home for now. Landon, her youngest, who was designated a "micro preemie" since he was so tiny when he was born, had a lot of medical needs.
"In the beginning he was going to doctors' appointments constantly," she said. "There was a lot of traveling. Now he's just getting occupational and physical therapy."
Buchholz said she likes her life. She and Brian take it "one day at a time," she said.
"Even though I'm not working at the moment, I get to spend time with my boys," she said. "Our families have helped out quite a bit. It's been a fairly smooth transition."
She said she looks at teenagers now and wonders if she ever acted that way.
"When you're a teenager, you think some things are far more important than they really are, such as getting the latest gadget or the best brand," she said.
Now she said, what's important is providing for her family.

Apple Maps Sees Its First International Territorial Dispute As Korea Protests Island Naming
From the it-had-to-happen-sooner-or-later department: Apple is in the midst of its first international territorial dispute over its new Apple Maps product.
As the Korea Times reports (and also picked up by ZDNet), the South Korean government is upset because Apple is displaying a collection of small islands in between it and Japan with different names — including the non-Korean name.
The islands are known in Korea as Dokdo, and Korean Apple Maps users see the correct name.
But elsewhere, the islands appear on Apple Maps using the Japanese name, as shown on the screenshot at right that I just made this afternoon. Update: As pointed out in the comments below, the small labeling text on Apple Maps appears to be Korean, not Japanese. Ergo, it appears Apple Maps uses the Korean name on a worldwide basis, but not in Japan, which is the subject of the Korean government's protest.
Both countries claim the islands as their own, but Korea wants Apple to display the Dokdo name in its Maps. The Times quotes a Korean foreign ministry official who explains the protest sent to Apple:
"We protested to Apple's Korean unit that, because Dokdo is clearly an integral part of our territory, the new reference is unacceptable and it should be marked as the Korean name of Dokdo wherever it is searched for. Although Apple is a private organization, this is an issue that our government cannot concede on. So, we will continue reiterating our stance and requesting Apple to accept our demand."
Apple representatives in Korea did not comment on the Times' story.
Google Maps has faced numerous international protests due to similar territorial issues (see our related stories below this article), and Korea also recently protested to Google officials that it uses the English name for Dokdo, which is Liancourt Rocks. Indeed, you can still see Google Maps using that name in its online maps. (The islands are also findable on Apple Maps by searching for the English name.)
Apple almost found itself involved in a similar territorial dispute between Japan and China over island names but, as ZDNet reported in September, Apple Maps avoided that problem by showing different names to searchers in each country. That same approach isn't acceptable to the Korean government.
We're listening.

Dirty South and Alesso have cut a brand new video for "City of Dreams", their latest single. The track features Ruben Haze on guest vocals and a remix from Showtek – with the Dutch brothers lending a rougher edge to the production as the sublime melodies melt away into a full throttle electro drop.
The video was put together by Eyewax TV and racked up 50 thousand views in its first 24 hours on Vevo! You can check it out here:

The essence of the hobby is having the car you always wanted and enjoying it. Sounds like you're there.
As a owner of a 68 Le Mans Blue Z i find very it interesting myself. The prices are getting higher and i believe they will continue that trend. A real 68 car is less available, harder to document, fewer to love ? As for 69 cars more of them available than they ever made, so plenty to love? Only time will tell as new collectors look at the facts. As for now the styling of first gen. Z cars is forever lost in the 60's. For now that is for sure.______________________________67 Van RS/SS L35 Royle Plum 4 speed std. interior with gauges68 Nor Le Mans Blue Z/28 Houndtooth w/headrests
I don't like the the money aspect of this hobby... it's killing all the REAL Camaro lovers ability to have fun, however buy them now while they are cheaper. The market will correct it's self in time. As stated earlier in this thread the 68 built the market for the 69. VT
And then come the 70 1/2 camaro back then the CEO's must have thought a change was what they needed, kinda like 58 Chevy a one year deal. Like a 69 . Anyway almost twice as many 69 for sale all the time. I often wonder what a 69 would have looked like if they didn't can it after 1 year. Was there a concept?

TRIED & TESTED | Delo Water-Boosting Caps
I KNOW everyone's supposed to go mental over the Harrod's Food Hall, but, for me, it's the Selfridges Food Hall that makes me get a little spend-crazy. It's bursting with edible treasures, arranges in walls of vibrant colors and wrapping. Rows of diaphanous merengues abutt beautiful cakes and pastel rounds of chocolate across from exotic coral slabs of sushi-grade salmon. Bottles of viscous, amber Karo syrup rub shoulders with pots of glowing English mustard. In the mix, between Yo Sushi and the bakery you'll find the modern, minimal, bright and tiny boxes housing Delo Water-Boosting Caps.
Inside each is a mix of plant concentrates and extracts. Screw it onto the mouth of your water bottle (French half-litre is what they're made for) and the seal breaks, releasing the extracts into l'eau. Extracts include Ginseng, Acerola, Guarana, Ginger, Galagal, Cardamom, Carrot, Rosehip, Mallow, Hawthorn, Orange Blossom, Yerba Mate, Green Tea, Mango, Kiwi, Lychee, Bitter Orange, Walnut and Calamint.
Energy, Sexy, Slim, Sun and De-Stress are the options. I've used and like both the Energy and De-Stress on a regular basis since their launch at the Colette Water Bar in 2007.
If you're looking for the benefits of herbal tea or supplments on the run, this might be the thing for you. Plus, it's hard not to be a sucker for their pretty packaging, like a moth to the fire...

This House Believes that Page 3 should be Banned
By Sean Gabb
Speech to the University of London Union
30th September 2013
Founded in 1828, the University of London Union describes itself as "UCL's oldest and arguably most prestigious society." The University motto, prominently displayed by the Union is the hexameter verse Cuncti adsint meritaeque expectent praemia palmae – which roughly translates as "Let all come who by merit deserve the foremost prize." Last night, Monday the 30th September 2013, I spoke at one of its debates against the motion "This House Believes that Page 3 should be Banned." This refers to the calls for The Sun newspaper to be stopped from publishing photographs of half-naked women on its inside front page.
This debate was most notable for the attendance of a television celebrity called Luisa Zissman. This may explain why the room was full to overflowing: I doubt so many people turned out to see me or any of the other speakers. And she was worth watching. Apart from her looks, she seems to make a career from the pretence of being stupid, when she is really very clever. She made a couple of good speeches without a script in which she poured scorn on the assembled lefties – "I never went to university, but expect to make a great deal more money than you ever will," and so forth. Claims that she was collaborating in the "objectification" of women got a thorough roasting.
On the other side, arguing for the proposition, were a couple of dreary feminists. These read prepared texts and paid no attention to the Chairman's frantic banging of his gavel when they went over their allotted time. Their speeches were fashionably opaque – though anyone able to understand the meanings placed on words like "challenge" and "education" and "change" could see well enough they were arguing for a pc police state with themselves in charge.
My opening speech was the usual argument, that freedom of speech is the right to publish anything that is not a breach of some private right, or an act of obvious treason. I elaborated: "Imagine someone stands up and says that the holocaust never happened, but should have; or that Christ or Mohammed were epileptic paedophiles – would this be free speech within my definition? Of course it would be!" (Cries of incredulity and outrage.) At this point, or soon after, some fool intervened with a point of information. Would I allow violent pornography to be published? he asked. "Assuming it is by and for consenting adults," I answered, "yes." (More groans.)
This brought me to the main point: "Let it be granted that nudey pictures in The Sun caused men to view women less respectfully than they otherwise might. You take that as grounds for censorship? Well, some Christians have used verses from The Bible as justification for acts of outstanding wickedness. So do some Israelis. And what of those Moslems who shot up that shopping centre in Kenya? No doubt they found their inspiration somewhere in The Koran." (Shouted protests from a bearded man on my left: he may have been one of the Committee members.) "You may argue that these violent uses of scripture are perverse misunderstandings. But you have no monopoly of interpretation. So, let it be granted that we must ban nudey pictures from The Sun – why not also ban The Bible and The Koran? And what about The Communist Manifesto?"
I went on in this manner for seven minutes. I could write down more of what I said, but you probably get the drift. There were about half a dozen speeches from the audience. But I see no reason to summarise these. With the exception of one young woman, who spoke, with contempt plain on her face, about biological imperatives, these were uniformly risible. Only one man spoke. Like the one who raised that point of information, he was another of the girlie men you get in modern universities. He suggested that men should be educated into masturbating over pictures of old and ugly women, rather than women who look like Miss Zissman. Someone who described him or herself as transgendered got up for a long whine about "heterosexist dualities." This set off a buzz of solemn apologising from everyone who had so far spoken. I wish someone had been filming this. I am sure some of you think I am making it up.
My closing speech went roughly as follows:
"What I shall most remember of tonight's debate is the decidedly totalitarian state of mind in the audience. Do forgive me for what may be taken as a personal and unflattering reflection. But you may clothe your thoughts in soft and caring words about 'changing the culture' and 'educating men about women.' This does not hide the fact that many of you believe you have the right to interfere in the choices of consenting adults, and to make them think and live as you desire. You have no such right. No one has argued that the models who pose for The Sun are compelled to take their clothes off. Nor has it been shown that anyone is forced to buy The Sun. These things being so, you have no right to interfere.
"Let me put this to you. Every time you argue for something to be banned or regulated, you are asking for the empowerment of people you do not know, who are not accountable to you, who probably do not share your values, and who will, sooner or later, use that power in ways that you find shocking. Just because your people are currently in charge does not mean that they will always be in charge.
"In closing, I will remind you of a well-known statistic. Every night in this country, an average of 15.5 million people have sex with themselves. There is nothing you can do about this, and it is none of your business to try."
I made this statistic up on the spur of the moment. No one asked any of the obvious questions about methodology. Needless to say, my side lost the vote. Half the men present voted for the motion. Most of the rest abstained.
When I was an undergraduate thirty years ago, one of the mature graduate students told me that the quality of debate was far below the standard of his own undergraduate days. By comparison with what I saw last night – and University College London is supposed to be one of the best universities in the world – the foaming lefties I knew at York were the equals of Burke and Fox and the Elder Pitt. I think he was wrong to hang so many of the lecturers. But I do think the Ayatollah Khomeini was on to something when he shut down all the universities in Iran for three years.

Hunter Hayes Talks Tour With Carrie Underwood and How He Hopes to 'Do It Justice'
Hunter Hayes will definitely have his work cut out for him this summer, as he has been given the prestigious opening act slot on Carrie Underwood's Blown Away Tour. While the audience capacity will be nothing too new for Hayes — as he's played before stars like Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts in recent years — the length of the 'Good Girl' singer's tour is something he'll have to get used to.
"I am so excited to go on the road with Carrie," Hayes tells Taste of Country, beaming. "With Carrie, we're doing 55 dates or something crazy like that. Basically, I get to start out the tour with her, and then I get to finish the North American leg. To be on a tour for that long and to get the slot that we get, it's definitely like an ah-ha moment."
While the 20-year-old multi-talented country star is excited to be hitting the road again, he's also humbled to even be considered for such a big tour with one of country's most iconic stars.
Speaking of Underwood, Hayes adds, "For her to consider me for the slot was very cool. I'm excited to just play, especially on that tour. I know she's going to have a killer show, so I've got to figure out how to star the show and do it justice."
The Blown Away Tour is set to kick off on Sept. 14 in Manchester, N.H. and will run through mid-December. Click here to see a full list of dates where the tour will be stopping along the way.

Different eras, different career paths. But the same destination Friday, sharing the Masters lead.
Couples, playing 20 years after his lone Masters title, turned back the clock on his younger rivals with a 5-under-par 67 that made him the oldest man to hold an overnight Masters lead.
"I feel like I'm very young when I get here," Couples told...

Critical Health Issues In Gaza
By Stephen Lendman
Since being locked down and isolated by Israel, Gaza has experienced complete systemic crisis. Its health system, especially, was gravely harmed.
Many services and life-saving treatments aren't available. Accessing them elsewhere is uncertain and tenuous. Treating chronic illnesses is jeopardized by inadequate medicines and proper equipment.
Regular Israel incursions and air attacks exacerbate bad conditions. So do deficient fuel and electricity supplies, as well as unsafe drinking water and other health hazards.
Conditions are getting worse, not better. In September Physicians for Human Rights/Israel (PHR/I) said:
"Israel glaringly violate(s) the rights of Palestinians to health, each time in a different manner." It said the right to health "extends to (its) underlying determinants, (including) food and nutrition, housing, access to safe and potable water and adequate sanitation, safe and healthy working conditions, and a healthy environment."
By imposing draconian impediments, Palestinians, especially Gazans, lack proper health services. As a result, lives are lost and human suffering aggravated.
"As these lines are being written, we are witnessing a grave crisis in the Gaza health system." Its Ministry of Health reports dozens of medications in short supply or exhausted. Moreover, 123 types of medical equipment are unavailable. Dozens of others need replacing.
Israel's Gaza policy is "humanitarian minimum." Often it's non-existent. Gaza lurches from one crisis to another. Duct tape solutions won't solve it.
Absent change, "it is difficult to anticipate an end to the daily suffering of the sick and infirm individuals residing in these territories," especially besieged Gazans.
As an occupying power, Israel bears full responsibility. Nonetheless, it willfully and systematically breaches its international law obligations. As a result, Gazans suffer horrifically, especially on accessing healthcare when it's most needed.
On December 4, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) expressed concern over medical shortages in Gaza's hospitals, saying:
Critical shortages of medicines affect healthcare. Repercussions are potentially catastrophic, "especially (for) patients and those suffering chronic diseases...."
According to Ministry of Health Director General of Pharmacy Dr. Muneer al-Bursh, health facilities and warehouses exhausted 120 essential medicines and 140 medical goods.
In 2011, Ramallah's Ministry of Health supplied only 20% of Gaza's medicinal needs. Shortages of goods like Blood Line used in dialyses threatens the lives of 400 patients currently.
Moreover, medicines for cancer, anesthesia, immune system inhibiters for kidney transplant patients (received abroad), and hemophilia have run out entirely.
At the same time, Ramallah Minister of Health director Dr. Fathi Abu Mughli said West Bank hospitals have adequate supplies. In fact, he claimed they're better stocked than in other regional countries, except when warehouse deliveries are delayed by Israeli imposed policies. Even so, alternative drugs and treatment are available.
Mahmoud Abbas and other PA officials haven't addressed the problem. As a result, dozens of lives are endangered, especially after the Ministry of Health decreased transferring critically ill patients for treatment "under the claim of rationalizing medical transfers from" Gaza.
On November 2, Ramallah's Ministry of Health decreased transfers to Israeli and other hospitals. At issue was cost, it was claimed. When possible, accessing treatment in Israel is preferable because of proximity compared to Egypt and Jordan.
Cancer patients are especially at risk. Treatment isn't available in Gaza. Often it's lacking in West Bank and East Jerusalem hospitals. As a result, "(t)wo children died as they urgently needed advanced medical treatment, but the Ministry of Health transferred them to hospitals that cannot treat their diseases."
On November 4, Mohammed Azzam Sahwil died from growth retardation and muscle atrophy. In serious condition, he was admitted to Gaza's al-Nasser Hospital's intensive care unit.
The Ministry of Health officials knew his situation. On October 25, Form No. 1 to receive medical treatment abroad was obtained. On November 2, financial coverage was gotten for treatment at Jerusalem's al-Maqassed Hospital. He was refused admittance for lack of ability to treat him.
The Ministry of Health was informed but didn't act. As a result, he died at Gaza's al-Nasser Hospital. Less than a month later, his sister, Hiba Azzam Sahwil, also succumbed from the same illness.
She also got permission for treatment abroad and financial coverage at Jerusalem's al-Maqassad Hospital. An appointment was arranged for December 13. However, she'd already deteriorated too much to help. Nonetheless, the Ministry of Health was asked to immediately transfer her to Israel's Ekhilov Hospital. It refused. On December 1, she died.
A third sibling suffers from the same disease, Ayat Azzam. She also got permission for outside treatment and financial coverage. Ramallah's Health Ministry was urged to save her. On December 1, admittance to Israel's Ekhilov Hospital was gotten.
PCHR is following her case to help. It also wrote West Bank Director General of Medical Insurance Nizar Masalma, "demanding (he) allow 24 patients who suffer from serious chronic diseases continue to receive treatment in advanced medical facilities." So far, he hasn't responded.
A Final Comment
The Palestine News & Information Agency (WAFA) headlined, "Official Warns of Israel Ethnic Cleansing Policy in (East) Jerusalem," saying:
PLO Jerusalem affairs head Ahmed Qurei warned of "Israel's quiet ethnic cleansing and displacement policy against" East Jerusalem Palestinians.
Home demolitions are responsible in East Jerusalem's Old City, as well as in Sheikh Jarrah, Silwan, and other Palestinian neighborhoods. He stressed that Israel plans Judaizing all Jerusalem, one home demolition at a time.
Meanwhile, UNWRA (UN Relief and Works Agency) spokesman Chris Gunness said 2011 Israeli home demolitions doubled last year's total.
Its research found 990 Palestinians, including 507 children, were displaced. About 515 West Bank and East Jerusalem structures were demolished. Gunness called losing a home in normal times "highly destabilizing, but in the context of occupation and annexation it often becomes lastly traumatic, especially for children."
"The United Nations calls on the Israeli authorities to abide by their obligations under international law, of which these displacements and demolitions are a clear violation."
"Call(ing) on" has no impact. Only policy measures with teeth can help. For decades, they've been sorely lacking. As a result, Israel literally gets away with crimes of war and against humanity, including ethnically cleansing Palestinians from all land it wants for Jewish only development.
Instead of acting responsibly for justice, world leaders support Israel's worst policies. Palestinians pay dearly, especially Gazans suffocating needlessly under siege.
Moreover, according to former IDF head General (ret.) Yoav Galant, military action is needed to root out Gaza's "terror infrastructure." In other words, he urges mass murder.
In addition, Haaretz said Netanyahu cares only about power and "giving in to cronyism and vested interests."
Like America, Israel's decaying from within. Both countries use militarism, conflict and violence to solve problems. Popular needs go begging.
Palestinians and Israeli Arabs suffer horrifically. So do deprived and persecuted Americans. Both countries are global bullies. They're rogue state partners in intimidation, state terror, and torment.
Their leaders are moral cowards. Calling them democracies is ludicrous and offensive. Nations that live by the sword, die by it.
Israel and America aren't exceptions. Nor are others that learned painful lessons the hard way.

crack win 7 voi kb Data is powerful. At Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), it can even help prevent cancer.
deep crack under little toe HCI is the home of the Utah Population Database (UPDB), a shared data resource that tracks family medical history through many generations. It helps researchers find genetic clues to show whether individuals may have a higher risk of developing cancer.
jeux mac os x crack Ken Smith, PhD, UPDB director, says the database collects genealogies, medical records, and vital records such as birth and death certificates for about nine million individuals. "When we combine all these together, we're able to identify Utah families that have higher than normal rates of certain diseases, like certain cancers."
keygen simul cnc 2013 Emily is a member of one of those families. Her grandmother, aunt, father, and sister were all diagnosed with cancer. Emily and her siblings had genetic testing done and discovered four out of five of them had Lynch Syndrome, an inherited disorder that increased the risk of many types of cancer.
lotr battle for middle earth patch 1.03 crack Emily says that knowledge encouraged her to take preventive measures. "My sisters and I have had full hysterectomies to reduce the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer. We're doing yearly checkups with the dermatologist. We do colonoscopies once a year," she explains.

"I think I'm always just a little bit ahead of the game," she says. "I'm so grateful for that knowledge because I think knowledge is power."
modio 5.0 crack Vice President Joe Biden agrees. He recently visited HCI and said he wants to see the UPDB available at a national level. Dr. Smith hopes HCI can help make that happen. "I think we are a great model for how data that state governments and local agencies collect every day can be used.

Unseen (Paperback)
From Katherine Webb, the author of the acclaimed international bestseller "The Legacy," comes a compelling tale of love, deception, and illusion
A vicar with a passion for nature, the Reverend Albert Canning leads a happy existence with his naive wife, Hester, in their sleepy Berkshire village in the year 1911. But as the English summer dawns, the Cannings' lives are forever changed by two new arrivals: Cat, their new maid, a disaffected, free-spirited young woman sent down from London after entanglements with the law; and Robin Durrant, a leading expert in the occult, enticed by tales of elemental beings in the water meadows nearby.
Quickly finding a place for herself in the underbelly of local society, Cat secretly plots her escape. Meanwhile, Robin, a young man of considerable magnetic charm and beauty, soon becomes an object of fascination and desire. Sweltering in the oppressive summer heat, the peaceful rectory turns into a hotbed of dangerous ambition, forbidden love, and jealousy--a potent mixture of emotions that ultimately leads to murder.

Product Description
I fell in love with this texture of Malaysian remy hair. The hair is thick, luxirious and feels amazing when you glide your fingers through. There are so many beautiful textures available, and Malaysian remy is one of our favorites. It has the thickness of east Asian hair, but the unique character often found in South American hair. This virgin hair is naturally lighter at the tips, for a realistic look. The hair is beautiful, exotic, and creates a stunning mane for the right diva!
The hair is thick, and coarse, and is coarser towards the tips, just as you would expect extra long hair to be. The hair is a bit lighter at the tips, and throughout the wig in certain spots, sun kissed with lighter shades. This is a beautiful wig and if you are the owner, please treat it with care. Use quality shampoos and conditioners (longer hair is older hair and requires better care). Ditch the combs and brushes and keep in mind that this wig deserves special care. Our Virgin Genuine Malaysian Remy wigs are constructed from premium, hand selected hair, harvested from a single donor.
At zarawigs.com, we do not process Malaysian remy hair. The texture is amazing on it's own, therefore we don't process it for curls, or waves, or African American relaxed texture. We don't even color it, unless you request we do so. It's best to leave Malaysian remy hair in its natural texture and revel in the nuances and subtle differences between hair from different donors. Some hair is straighter and silkier, some hair has slight waves towards the end. It's truly a treasure for the full lace wig connoisseur.

I. Cultural
- Soil testing and appropriately amending your soil is an easy way to prevent "abiotic diseases", which are caused by deficiencies in micronutrients. UMass is a great place to send your soil (University of Maryland no longer does testing.) UMass will email you back with the results of your test along with very clear instructions on how to correct any nutrient deficiencies you may have. Not all testing sites give the appropriate reference ranges and recommendations. Go to: http://soiltest.umass.edu/ordering-information to get information on how to send in your sample. It takes about 10 minutes, costs $10 and will help you produce better, healthier plants, as well as reduce overuse of fertilizers that will run into the Bay. It is recommended to test every 3-4 years.
- Garden diary should include type of plants, when planted, weather, plant date, harvest date, when you had first insect damage. If you have aphids in mid-July, for example, and the weather is similar the following year, you will know when to watch for them.
- Plot garden prior to planting taking into account distance needed between plants. (For example, tomato plants should be 3 feet apart to prevent fungal disease). Plan for plants that grow well in our local area- Zone 7. Zone 6 plants may not be able to take our hot summers.
II. Physical
- Fertilize appropriately with organic materials as directed per your soil test. Keep in mind that a vegetable garden has different requirements than blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, so if you are growing berries, do the test specific for them.
- Trap plants can be used as decoy plants to attract insects away from the plants you don't want to be eaten. For example, amaranth, pictured above can be used as a trap plant for cucumber beetles as well as making a great cover crop.
III. Biological
- Biodiversity means planting a wide variety of crops which will help attract "good" insects to control "bad" insects.
- Don't bother buying ladybugs unless you have aphids, otherwise ladybugs will have nothing to eat and most likely fly away.
- Praying mantises are not necessarily helpful as they eat good insects as well as bad, so do not purchase them. However, if you find them in your garden, it is a sign of a healthy garden.
IV. Organic Chemical
- Neem insecticidal spray
- Bacillus thuringiensis (BT)- for gypsy moths
- Spinosad
- Note- I will talk more about these sprays and their safety in a future post
******This information was adapted from a talk given by Master Gardener, Norman Cohen at the last meeting of the Rodgers Forge Garden Club.

LEWISTON, Maine - The MIT men's track and field team captured seven event wins en route to a second-place finish among four teams in a meet hosted by Colby College on Saturday. The Engineers were unable to keep pace with Bates College, finishing 12 points behind the winning squad with a total of 215.
Tech's most impressive overall performance came in the pole vault, as the team accounted for seven of the top nine positions. Greg Tao led the way with a personal-best vault of 15-07 feet to claim the top spot.
Sophomore Nick Leonard swept both hurdles races, winning the 110m hurdles with a time of 16.06 and the 400-meter race in 56.48.
Yermie Cohen was the first of three MIT runners to place in the top five in the 1500. Cohen finished in 4:01.83 to win the race. Paul Welle (4:04.22) and Benjamin Mattocks (4:07.95) also ran in the top five. Jake Ruzevick earned a comfortable victory at 5000m with a time of 15:09.73, more than 11 seconds better than the runner-up. Hemagiri Arumugam, Gihan Amarasiriwardena and Jack Bourbonnais placed third through fifth respectively in the event.
In addition to the victorious 4x800m relay squad, Vladimir Sobes accounted for the Cardinal and Grey's other event win in the javelin. Sobes' throw of 180-02 came up a few feet shy of the NCAA qualifying standard but was more than 25 feet better than his nearest competitor.
The Engineers travel to Springfield next weekend for the Springfield Invitational, a final tune-up before the NEWMAC Championship in two weeks.

Photographer Rides To Improve the Lives of Girls Everywhere
An American living in Shanghai asked us last year to hook her up with a Saga frame set. She was planning an audacious trek through China, Russia, and Mongolia. She set off May 1 and has over 1000km under her wheels. She is a talented photographer so we can't wait to see the pictures.
Here is an excerpt from an article in English.news.cn
Armed with just a bike, a tent and a camera, American Eleanor Moseman is setting off on Saturday on a solo cycling odyssey from Shanghai to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and back again.
The trip will cover 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers and Moseman plans to return by mid-February, 2011.
Along the way, the freelance photographer plans to raise US$15,000 for women's education, and invites any woman interested to join her for a stretch anywhere on the journey.
Setting off from Shanghai just as the World Expo 2010 opens, Moseman will cycle along the Grand Canal of China up to Tianjin, then through Jilin Province, cutting west to Inner Mongolia.
After exploring the whole of western Mongolia, she will ride on to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and its city of Kashgar, returning via Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Guilin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The project has taken a year to plan and will raise funds for Girls Education International, which supports educational opportunities for women in developing countries, and for the charity Stepping Stones, which helps children of migrant workers' families in Shanghai.
"I've always been a girl to defy gender boundaries and roles," says Moseman, who is in her late 20s. "But in China so many (Chinese) female friends have told me that their parents discourage them from pursuing PhDs or masters' degrees because they think getting married is more important.
"While being a mother and wife is valuable, I think pursuing your dreams is also important - personally it makes me feel complete, and feel like I have just as much to bring to the table as men," she says.
The trip stems from Moseman's frustrations, as a freelance photographer, in traveling by train. In her previous China travels, there were many, many places where she wanted to stop and snap, but the train didn't stop - biking was the only way.

That's what I looked like after 24 hours of labor. And that's pretty much how I feel at the moment.
However, I'm so completely in love with my daughter. I don't mind the lack of sleep and discomfort. Not at all.
I want to tell my "baby story" but there's no time between feedings, diaper changes, kisses and taking care of my boys. I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments and emails. We are overwhelmed by your love and support.
I'll leave you with a couple pictures of the most beautiful girl in the world.

Have some salt
She doesn't respect other people because others don't respect her, so she must feel superior by excelling. And by excelling, people get even more jealous of her.
So on second thought, I guess a fan of her shouldn't constantly call her that considering what it really means. Maybe.

Never Called Sena meat but I never thought of that nickname as an insult. I keep hearing a lot of people calling her that but I highly doubt they meant it in a wrong or disrespectful way.
They could be Sadists or see Sena in Yozora's point of view. To me, them saying "Meat" was like them saying "Omg so Mthrfkn Sexy I just want to eat that peace of-"
I know Sena has more traits than her sexy figure but "Meat" is probably more of a complement to her beauty from fans. I'm pretty sure fans know she's also smart, very focused and a hard worker. It gives out that sense of surprise package to people when they just heard about a character because of one trait that everyone talks about. Of course if they are interested enough to actually check her out, there's actually more to this person that they expected.
Besides Sena was happy she had a nickname.

Anyway... I guess it's just my pet peeve. It's not that I think people are meaning to be insulting by it, but I personally think it's a nickname that's inevitably insulting coming from a guy towards a girl in this sort of context. Maybe that's a stupid way of thinking... but I had to get it off my chest anyway. "Food for thought"... pun not intended.

Or would you guys want another anime character to take Sena's "Meat" tittle? The nickname given by someone who is in no doubt, one way or another, a special person to her. The first sign of real true friendship between 2 girls who were alone without a friend most of their lives.
This is like selling an Ice to an Eskimo...
Its true other people use "Meat" as a little insult to Sena. I don't really use her nickname much but I'll just be pessimistic about it bad just be glad she has a nickname.

That's why I don't call her with any other name and got it crossed out. Yozora gave her a lot of names of insults, but Sena never budge since she really is determined to have real friends so words like that won't affect her, she even delighted that she got scolded by someone of her age in episode 03. I know she just told Kodaka how happy she was to have a nickname but in reality she just being patient about it like how she doesn't even show any wordly reaction during the wordly confrontation between Rika and Yozora in episode 04 until the last few minutes.
Sena is actually a M given the previous four episodes and pretends to be a S. Funny how she's busy playing PS3 and PSP during the span of fourth episode and not taking any action.

Yes I love Sena's determination. I can't argue with her when she claims herself a genius, perfect, prodigy, goddess, etc. because she works hard on it. Other Ojou-sama characters mostly had everything served to them in a silver platter. She does have the advantage of being a fast learner though.
But most of all I love every single interaction she has with Yozora. It's like we knew alot about her already (I'm pretty sure we still don't) and if feels like we know Yozora is the person she needs. But that's just me saying as I watch her get pounded by Yozora. They are the main-primary reason I watch this anime.

I'm sure Yukiatsu in Ano Hana didn't appreciate being called Manma, and that was both a fanmade nickname, AND far more insulting, but I didn't see anyone ride to his rescue?
All this over speculation of how we may be hurting the feelings of a fictional character aside, it is a name she is given by another character in the series. I'm sure I speak for all of the fans when I say we use it just as harmlessly as Anjou fans use the nickname Anaru (Ano Hana again).
As for analyzing the meaning behind the nickname and Yozora's reason for creating it and using it - knock yourselves out, but it has nothing to do with us "lusting" fan members.

That being said, you are not necessarily wrong about what the term carries considering that Yozora intentionally meant it as a slur against Sena... But considering the very nature of this show is to play off off the comedic nature of their hateful or broken personalities in a very playful manner, I find it a bit disingenuous so suggest that people have such ill spirited intentions.
Disclaimer: I've barely posted anything in this subforum so I haven't called Sena anything but Sena.

I only use it after she shows she like the nickname, and I use it purely as a nickname, without meaning. Mind you, she actually like that nickname.
Like how I call one of my friend "Inu", and even though he knows the meaning, he doesn't feel insulted at all, just because he like it. I also use it as a nickname, without any meaning.
For the record, I like flat chest girl.

My point, in my opinion, in my limited knowledge, it is almost impossible up to 99.9% for a rich girl like her not to have a girl-friend, fake or not. There should be another girl hanging out with her like most rich girls out there.

If you go acting like her, there is a very low chance you could find a single friend. It's not about competing for guys. It's about your attitude. If you leave a bad impression, chance is it will spread like fire, and hating you become a norm. After that, no one will approach you, or try to, unless they don't care what other people think about them, or they have some business with you.
And who said she loves to shell out cash to get friends? As far as I know (or read), she has never show she has a lot of cash to waste. That's one thing I like about her, a rich girl doesn't think everything could be solved with money, and spend them just like an ordinary girl (which is the same as one of my friend). She doesn't use her money to her advantage, and she doesn't want a friend by using money.
Mind you, people with a lot of cash always know those who gather around them mostly are not their friends. Sena want a true friend.
