By Thane Rosenbaum
The War on Terror, a phrase that President Obama has not favored, now looks more like an internal war of confusion when it comes to America's handling and prosecution of suspected terrorists.
Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, was recently arrested in Jordan and arraigned in Manhattan federal court where he was charged with conspiracy to kill Americans. Prosecutors do not believe that he served in an operational capacity with al Qaeda, nor did he participate in the 9/11 attacks. Yet, as a promoter of violence against Americans and as a propagandist for Bin Laden, he will become the highest-ranking Qaeda figure to face a civilian trial.
His mere presence in an America courtroom, however, places him in rarefied company. When it comes to al Qaeda operatives more recently discovered in Pakistan or Yemen, President Obama has not hesitated to dispense with civilian trials and has instead ordered assassinations—timely justice of a different sort.
To be sure, unlike Abu Ghaith, his father-in-law received no day in court—in Manhattan or elsewhere. He was assassinated in May 2011 during a helicopter raid in Islamabad. Given the scant security that existed at his compound, Bin Laden could have been abducted and taken back to America to stand trial. Yet few complained that the President, a former constitutional law professor, decided to treat Bin Laden to the accelerated due process of a bullet to the head rather than allow him to argue his case and subject his accusers to cross-examination. Similarly, in September 2011, Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by a drone strike in Yemen, authorized by the country of his birth and without the filing of any criminal charges.
Of course, Abu Ghaith would not be the first post-9/11 terrorist to find himself in a New York courtroom. Back in May 2012, a Brooklyn jury convicted an American citizen, Adis Medunjanin, of conspiracy to stage suicide attacks in New York subways. He was sentenced to life in prison. In November 2010, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, the only former Guantanamo Bay detainee to have received a civilian trial, was acquitted on 281 charges related to the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans. He was convicted of only one count of conspiracy to destroy government buildings and was sentenced to life in prison.
Meanwhile, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the professed mastermind of 9/11, continues to languish in Guantanamo, his military trial finally commencing in May 2012, nearly ten years after he was first captured in Pakistan and then subjected to enhanced interrogation. Now he has become the grizzly poster child for the terrorist who proved to be too hot to receive a civilian trial, too difficult to prosecute in a military commission (the case is still unresolved), too dangerous to release and, because he was captured in the pre-drone age, it was too late for him to be assassinated.
Which leaves us with no consistent policy on how to prosecute and punish terrorists, whether they be American citizens or foreign born? It's a dizzying game of Three-card Monte, with disparate choices not always consistently applied: military commissions, of which there have been fewer than ten, and thus suspected terrorists are detained indefinitely without any resolution; civilian trials, of which there have been many with a nearly 90 percent conviction rate, but these proceedings are predictable, lack transparency, and the verdicts don't necessarily match the severity of the crimes; and, of course, targeted assassinations, which guarantee finality and might ultimately achieve just deserts, but provide little in the way of due process or historical justice, since drone strikes yield no truth-seeking or findings of fact.
Abu Ghaith will doubtless be found guilty in Manhattan federal court. The fact that the verdict is predestined makes it, to some degree, resemble the justice given to his father-in-law—sans Navy Seals and the bullet. But like the Ghailani verdict, the trial against Abu Ghaith might prove to be both unsatisfying and legally inconsistent. Why is Ghailani spending the rest of his life in prison if he was acquitted of 281 counts of mass murder and was convicted only of conspiracy to blow up buildings? Due to constitutional objections, the jury never heard the evidence that emanated from the harsh interrogation techniques to which he was admittedly exposed. The prosecution contended that this evidence amounted to a confession.
Indeed, so much of the evidence in these civilian trials is classified, which undermines their purported transparency. If Ghailani was, in fact, guilty of far more than what the jury had found, then the lesser punishment he received—albeit arising from a civilian trial—isn't necessarily just. Yes, civilian trials may yield more actual convictions, but neither truth nor justice is assured. And if these civilian trials are not transparent, their outcomes are predetermined, and their verdicts are often lacking in both legal consistency and common sense, are they really then that much different from military commissions?
If we're still fighting a war on terror, then enemy combatants are subject to indefinite detention until the end of hostilities, and they are not entitled to the full panoply of constitutional protections. The murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya on September 11, 2012 was surely no indication that al Qaeda's jihadist fantasies have abated and the war is over. Enemies of America, as opposed to our common criminals, seek not merely to break our laws but to destroy our society. And that's why the justice they receive ought to look different from the garden-variety civilian trial.
Mr. Rosenbaum, a novelist, essayist and law professor at Fordham University, is the author of the forthcoming "Payback: The Case for Revenge" (University of Chicago Press, 2013).

In Search of the Novel:Ten Novelists
Harper Lee
Nelle Lee Harper was born on April 28, 1926—the youngest of four
children. She attended Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1944–45, studied law at the University
of Alabama in 1945–49, and studied for one year at Oxford University. In 1957,
Lee submitted a manuscript for To Kill a Mockingbird
to J. B. Lippincott & Company and was told that it read like a series of short stories
strung together. For two-and-a-half years she worked on it, and it
was published in 1960. It is her only published book. In 1961, she
had two articles published in Vogue and McCall's. In
1966, Harper Lee was named by President Johnson to serve on the National
Council of the Arts. She has received a number of honorary doctorates,
including one given to her in 1990 by the University of Alabama and another from Spring Hill College in Mobile,
Alabama in 1997 for her "lyrical elegance, her portrayal
of human strength, and wisdom." She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007 for her contribution to literature. She
does not speak or grant interviews on these occasions. It is said that she
still plays golf and is working on her memoirs.

I love the clean, understated grey underneath that puts the focus on the shoes and trench,
What is great is that even though the base items (grey) are neutral they still stand on their own – the pants have a great cut and the turtleneck is so classic.

Could she look more pale on what looks like a cloudy day on Madison.
The colors are great ///very subtle and yet tasteful enough to appreciate…..I agree with you there Sar…..everything looks well tailore, classic waist be;ted trench, beautiful leather bag…LOVE LOVE …good stuff…except for the complexion….what' ya gonna do …thats built in rught!
it's all about the proportions with her, short pant, long trench, little flat shoes, supersized tote, big sunglasses, skinny girl. Yin and Yang.
this bag is fantastic!!
that's what captures attention,
there rest is good but just details
Yes to everything…except for the bag.
I vote for everything but the bag.
Seems to me part of style is picking and choosing what goes. Big bags don't go with everything.
Interesting pants length. Are we usually seeing those with boots instead of flats?
Agree with the others – I'm not a big fan of the bag. But that doesn't stop her from looking great! I find grey very hard to wear, but it looks lovely with the tan.
I love how the bag is the focal point. It looks so impractical, being large and empty, that it almost becomes an art-work-come-accessory.
It seems more creative, like it wasn't chosen for the mere purpose of matching one's shoes or impressing girls with It Bags.
this is pretty much what you will find me wearing on any given day. i agree with everyone about the bag, though. i carry a large cream henry beguelin satchel when i need to carry a lot of stuff because his bags are feather-light AND they look great, or a vintage di camerino if i can get by with schlepping less, but usually i don't carry any bag at all — a cell phone (which, like you, sart, i use instead of wearing a watch) and cash in one pocket of the trench and my keys in the other. my ankles are starting to get a bit cold as the season progresses, so i will probably have to go to longer pants and a heavier coat fairly soon, and the ballet flats will be traded in for some sort of flat boot, but this look and variations on it are my basic everyday uniform for running around town.
The bag just looks impractical and cumbersome to carry. And I still don't like most of these oversized shades.
I agree 100 % with Rafe Totengco, it's all about proportions , and I think she chose them perfectly.
I adore her look , big bag included.
She looks fantastic. I love the flats in the neutral colour.
What's up with the bag?!?!?
nice. but she should be wearing heels
I think my issue w/the bag is the color. If it were more complimentary to the rest of the outfit (such as a dark brown), it would work. I do like the oversize sunnies, though.
I like the bag, because everyone doesn't like it.
The bigger the better.
That is a great bag, anyone know who it is by?
Oh no, I love this bag. This is what makes the whole look work !
I love all of that, but the bag seems to dwarf the rest. I wonder what it would have looked like in taupe suede?
garbage bag, great ensemble.
she's overdoing "oversized"
This is adorable, I could do this.. I might.
this girl is so beautiful.. love the pants and tha bag!
except the shoes…
Isn't this the ubiquitous Chanel garbage bag everyone is hauling around? Hmm. Not sure about that, but the rest of her looks quite chic.

We thought Tebow Watch was over. We should have known that nothing with Tim Tebow is ever that simple.
The Jets announced on Twitter that they agreed to trade for Tebow. Hours later, we learned that New York didn't read the fine print on Tebow's contract and he was back up for grabs.
It could result in an embarrassing situation for the Jets. And it creates an opportunity for the Jaguars. Tebow Watch lives! (At least for a few more hours.)
Why the Jaguars are a good fit: The prodigal son returns?
Jaguars owner Shad Khan previously said the team would have drafted Tebow if Khan had been around in 2010. There isn't obvious room for Tebow in Jacksonville (see below), but ownership could push to create some in an effort to sell tickets to a fan base that needs inspiration.
Why the Jaguars are a bad fit: The Jaguars' front office reportedly had no initial interest in Tebow, and the team just signed Chad Henne to compete with Blaine Gabbert.
Latest news: NFL Network's Jeff Darlington spoke to Robby Tebow, Tim's brother. Robby says that the Jaguars are back in the mix. Tebow wants to play in Florida and the Jaguars now have a chance to complete a Tebow-like last-minute comeback.
Why the Jets are a good fit: No team craves headlines and "juice" more than the
Jets. They don't want to see the headlines if they both this trade. Tebow would own New York and help owner Woody Johnson build the
Jets brand. New offensive coordinator
Tony Sparano coached the original Wildcat formation in Miami, and Tebow could fit in with a run-first approach.
Why the Jets are a bad fit: Jets fans, not to mention the tabloids, would call for Mark Sanchez to be benched after the first bad pass of the year. The Jets are trying to cut down on distractions, not create them.
Latest news: It looks like the Jets might blow this. If nothing else, they should be motivated to finish the deal in order to salvage the franchise's remaining dignity.
Why the Rams are a good fit: Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and coach
Jeff Fisher like a run-first approach. Schottenheimer liked to use the Wildcat in New York. Tebow would also help sell tickets to an apathetic fan base.
Why the Rams are a bad fit: They already have a supposed franchise quarterback. Taking Sam Bradford off the field could hurt his development. Tebow could also cause Bradford to suffer flashbacks to when Tebow beat Bradford's Oklahoma team in the BCS Championship.
Latest news: NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports the Rams were "strongly interested" in acquiring Tebow. They are a dark horse candidate to get back involved.
Why the Packers are a good fit: Mike McCarthy spoke highly of Tebow before he came out of Florida. The
Packers have room to develop a backup, and McCarthy's "quarterback school" could teach Tebow the fundamentals he currently lacks.
Why the Packers are a bad fit: They have a certain MVP quarterback who needs snaps. The Packers love to operate under the radar; Tebow owns the radar.
Latest news: ESPN Milwaukee confirms that the Packers' interest is legitimate. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel believes Green Bay would only be willing to give up a late-round pick.
Why the Bills are a good fit: The
Bills do make football sense. Chan Gailey is perhaps the NFL's best at getting creative with mobile quarterbacks, making him the rare coach who would know what to do with Tebow. He could upgrade the backup position behind
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Gailey could create packages for Tebow on the goal line and in short yardage, like he once did for Kordell Stewart.
Why the Bills are a bad fit: Tebow surely aspires to be more than the next "Slash," but he might not have any better options in 2012.
Latest news: There is a "mystery team" that has shown interest in Tebow, it doesn't look like it's the Bills.
Why the Dolphins are a good fit: Tebow misses his home state, and the
Dolphins miss having a quarterback with star wattage. Tebow might be the NFL's biggest celebrity. Miami essentially held Tim Tebow Day last season to sell tickets when the QB was a member of the
Broncos. Why not make it Tim Tebow Year?
Why the Dolphins are a bad fit: It doesn't make football sense. Tebow doesn't appear to fit what new coach Joe Philbin is looking for in a quarterback. The team also added former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard on Monday. Would the Dolphins have a three-way competition between Tebow, Garrard and incumbent Matt Moore?
Latest news: All indications suggest the Dolphins want Moore to compete with Garrard for the starting quarterback job. Dolphins fans are not amused.

I have heard some talk about my new show "Drop Dead Diva." People are concerned that we are making fun of fat people or that it is a show about fat jokes or something ridiculous like that. I want to reach out and assure our potential audience that I would never condone or be involved with a project like that. The reason I took the job in the first place was because it dealt with issues of body image with such respect and grace. I have been affected negatively by 'fat jokes' and the status quo of women's bodies for as long as I can remember. I almost killed myself dieting, once in my early twenties, after being told by network executives that my 'face was too full' to play the role of myself on my first television show, "All American Girl." All I wanted to be was thin enough to – well, play myself! I didn't eat for weeks and exercised day and night and wound up in the hospital. My TV show was eventually canceled – and replaced by Drew Carey's show – you know, because he is so thin.
"Drop Dead Diva" is a show about us. For those of us who struggle to be visible. I never lived up to the thin, blonde beauty queen ideal – the image I saw in magazines and movies and television. Because of this, I always felt invisible. "Drop Dead Diva" is about learning to become visible. Through the character Jane Bingum, played masterfully and eloquently by Brooke Elliott, we triumph because we see her beauty, we share her beauty, we show everyone her beauty. Sometimes when I have a break in a scene, I will go behind the camera and watch Brooke on the monitors, and I want to cry because she always wins, she always shines. She makes me feel like I exist. And she is beautiful. Save your judgments until you watch our show. Do it for yourself and all the young girls out there who feel like they don't exist because they are not a size 0.

Canada is a great and under-appreciated country, often overshadowed by its big, loud, boisterous and crazy cousin to the south. However, it is only right to give Canada the respect it deserves in the world. It is clean, has stunning beauty, welcomes immigrants, is tolerant of people of all races and religions and of great importance to a cigar smoker, has normal relations with Cuba. I will always remember that the Canadians helped America immensely during the debacle of a hostage crisis under Jimmy Carter. The Canadian embassy in Tehran rescued and evacuated six American hostages at great risk to themselves. It was appreciated then as now. Thank you, our friends. Canadians also played a major role in liberating Europe, taking Juno beach in the D-Day invasions along the Normandy coast. Canadian troops are also fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. Like an unappreciated friend, it is a reliable comrade and one that we shouldn't take for granted, although they do need to rein in those Québécois, in my view.
Much like Canada in general, the golf courses of this great nation are underrated as well. Canada has some spectacular golf courses that consistently rank among the world's best. If there were more balance among the golf course raters (read less Americans), no doubt more Canadian courses would make the ranks. However, let's not get too far off on a tangent here and focus on the course at hand, which is St. George's Golf and Country Club (ranked #95 in the world), located in Toronto.
St. George's Golf and Country Club
Not to be confused with Royal St. George's in England, St. George's Golf and Country Club is located in Etobicoke, Ontario, part of greater Toronto. The course was originally known as the Royal York Golf Club and opened for play in 1929. The golf course was designed by the famous Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson. Thompson built or remodeled almost ninety courses over a ten year period in the 1920s, including Highlands Links, ranked #64 on the top 100 list, located in Nova Scotia. Thompson also designed the Canadian courses Capilano, Banff and Jasper. Royal York always had a great reputation as being one of the best in the world. It was ranked #62 in the world in 1939.
After reading Thompson's biography, I think I would have liked him very much. "The Toronto Terror", as he was called, liked cigars, 15-ounce steaks and whiskey. My kind of guy. He also liked to wear fedoras and three-piece suits with a watch chain hooked into his vest pockets.
Canadian architect Stanley Thompson
The golf course was built as a public golf course owned by Canadian Pacific Railways Hotel and was converted into a private club in 1934. The course played host to the Canadian Open in 1933, 1949, 1960 and 1968, and someday, hopefully, will serve as host again.
You immediately know that St. George's is going to be a great golf course when you stand on the tee and see the beautiful first hole winding its way through the rolling terrain. Thompson used the rolling terrain here very well when he routed the course. His par five holes in particular are very good, demanding holes.
Why is the course on the top 100 list? For a variety of reasons, including the meandering fairways, the great use of terrain, the difficult greens and the imaginative elevated bunkers. The course is built on terrain containing a cornucopia of hills, valleys, ridges, nobs, inclines, hollows and hillocks. As Tom Doak mentions in his Confidential Guide to Golf, Thompson routed many holes alongside or through valleys rather than over them. This lead to a world-class golf course. Doak picked St. George's as one of his thirty-one Connoisseur's Choices, and I can see why.
Par three 6th
Many Thompson routings contain five par three holes, and St. George's is no exception. The par three 6th, seen above, plays over a ravine to a well-bunkered, two-tiered green. This hole shows to great affect how many of your shots at St. George's are framed by the use of the terrain and hills.
Approach to the 4th green
The fourth hole, a par five with the approach to the elevated green seen above, is the #1 handicap hole at St. George's. Thompson made his par fives here very difficult. Unlike most courses, the par fives are the #1 and #2 most difficult handicap holes on the course.
14th green
The greatest stretch of holes on the course are numbers twelve through fifteen, which are routed through the hilliest part of the course. The 12th hole has a green greatly elevated from the fairway off on the left side of the hole. The 14th, above, is a picturesque hole. Again, notice the elevated bunkers above the 14th green. True to his name, The Toronto Terror left us with many downhill sand shots above greens that slope away from you.
View from the seventh tee boxIn the picture above you can see some of the contours that make this great terrain for a golf course.
'Turtle' bunker off the 15th fairway
The fifteen hole, a 558 yard par five, is my favorite hole on the course. The fairway winds its way through the hills like a luge run, bobbing and weaving along until it reachs a highly elevated green at the summit of a hill. Thompson follows the natural contour of the land, and the fairway sweeps around the mounds, hummocks, knolls and hills as if you were riding on a roller coaster.
The meandering 15th fairway
Ian Andrew, a Canadian golf course architect, was brought in to restore the bunkers in 2002. While I have no perspective to judge on since I didn't see the course prior to the changes, to me the bunkering seems brilliant. Since Ian is a fellow Blogger, you can read about his restoration in more detail if you'd like by clicking his name above.
As you might expect for a course located in this climate, the club has a large curling facility attached to the clubhouse that serves as a cart storage building during golf season. Although the course is in an urban setting, you really don't get that sense at all while playing the course. You can hear road traffic near the 13th green, but aside from that, similar to playing courses like San Francisco Golf Club and Los Angeles Country Club, St. George's is an oasis in the city.
I found St. George's to be a very fair course, but difficult if you do not hit good shots. It is a good walking course. We played St. George's at my favorite time of day, dusk, and played at a brisk pace with a delightful host. Our host has also played many of the world's great courses, and I knew we were kindred spirits when he expressed a love of Sunningdale, which I heartily share. We finished the evening having drinks and food out on the deck with a view of the Toronto Skyline as our backdrop, as a purple-hued full moon began to rise over the CN Tower. Certainly, a more pleasant way to end the day, than say, sitting on the Cross Bronx Expressway.
St. George's can hold its own against any course on the list, and the Canucks should be rightfully proud of this gem. I can't wait to make the trek out to Nova Scotia to play Thompson's Highlands Links.
Along with the Rocky Mountains, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Molson and Ice Hockey, great golf should also be added to the short list of things we associate with Canada.
Post Script - Toronto
I have traveled several times to British Columbia and Quebec, but this was my first time to Toronto and I was surprised to find it reminded me more of Los Angeles, but with more trees. Surprised, since I was expecting a smaller, cleaner version of New York, given all you read about Toronto standing in for New York in so many movies. The city is spread out over a large geographic area with many traffic-clogged freeways. As in L.A., there is a distinct lack of hustle and bustle downtown. The Forest Hills neighborhood reminded me of Beverly Hills. Actually, it seems nicer than Beverly Hills. I don't see any of the influence of the activist/urban planner Jane Jacobs on the city, although she lived there for many years. The ghastly cement/brick residential towers surrounding the city center would be right at home in The Bronx or Glasgow.

Unless you've been living under a bridge for the last couple weeks, you should be aware that things have heated up with a huge increase in rocket attacks from Gaza into urban areas in Israel, launched by Hamas Palestinians. Israel has been replying with air strikes that have killed civilians because the missiles have been sourced in residential areas.
Israel is now talking about the need to put boots on the ground in Gaza pretty much going house-to-house, which will likely kill even more civilians.
Attempts are underway to bring about a diplomatic solution, but assuming the future will look like the past, many would argue that's a waste of time.
What are your thoughts?

Let God sort it out.
Well both parties are going to heaven so might as well get this over with it. The muslims believe they will go to heaven when they die, same with the jews. So they should have no qualm about dying, or is it that their so called faith is just for show and they don't really believe in it? Yea, that's it.
I think we have to admit that there is no "God" who promised the Jews of the land .. and there is no "God" who promised Muslims of heaven when they die in fights or wars .. there is no such thing as a holy war.
The whole thing is a farce .. even the names of their military operations is pure farce "pillar of cloud".
i don't give a damn about any of them .. what really concerns me are the children and civilians getting killed and injured in these attacks .. and it's too obvious that "God" is the one who caused all this mess by promising the Jews an already inhabited land .. what an ass
This guy god seems like a real asshole. Someone needs to set him straight.
Religions aside, Israel has been enduring a barrage of missile and mortar attacks. No country with the means to respond is going to take that for very long without taking steps to put an end to it. By contrast I bet Hamas isn't loved for doing what will bring Israeli troops into Gaza. They, like the Israelis, probably just want to live their everyday lives without having to worry about being bombed or having to live with Israeli soldiers on the streetcorners, much less Israeli troops searching private dwellings.
violence cause more violence .. it's a viscous circle .. i guess they must do something new .. be creative.
As you say, the vicious circle is only broken by someone taking the first step and risking forgiveness instead of retaliation. This whole conflict is a great and terrifying illustration of the game theories developed by mathemeticians in the 60's, and their application by evolutionary sociologists and biologists. A basic truth that came to light is that the most natural situation between two potential antagonists, one in which good turns are reciprocated and aggression or malice is retaliated against, quickly spirals into a full-blown conflict from which there is little hope of retreating. The most stable strategy, theorists discovered, was one in which occasional forgiveness was encouraged. This all sounds very bland and simplistic, but we're seeing the devestating consequences of this basic truth in the form of rocket fire and air raids. The solution, then, is already there; Israel, as the larger, better equiped, less vulnerable party in the conflict, must offer the first olive branch. The fact that they have not done so, despite their relatively effective rocket defense system and the high ratio of Palestinian casualties to Israeli casulties, should indicate to thinking observers that there is something more than just bringing about a cease-fire on the minds of Israeli military and government officials. Similarly, the political arm of Hamas seems entirely too beholden to the militants firing rockets across the border, whose primary objective seems to be a higher Israeli body count. In both cases, the governments and their actions do not reflect the interests or wishes of the people they represent; most civilians on either side of the border would undoubtedly prefer nothing more than for the bombings to stop.
That said, it's unlikely that any accountability on the part of the Israeli government will be brought by pressure from the people. What really needs to happen is a conditional withdrawl of U.S. support for Israeli aggression, and a similar move on the part of the Arab league (though their support for Hamas is not exactly comparable to the monumental enabling role America plays in Israel's foreign policy). Israeli expansionism and aggression is all implicitly backed by the threat of the wrath of the United States, which has become beholden to Israeli interests in a completely inexplicable, blind fashion. Without the unconditional American support it has enjoyed for so long, Israel would have to play by the rules of those nations that surround it, which presumably means living peacefully, not pushing its borders at every opportunity, and not using any excuse to escalate the violence across the border.
"The solution, then, is already there; Israel, as the larger, better equiped, less vulnerable party in the conflict, must offer the first olive branch."
Very much in line with game theory, Israel is attempting what is often referred to as a 'nice guy with consequences'/'tit for tat with forgiveness' strategy in which it usually does nothing in response, but if provoked enough will lash out. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and the Palestinian response was to elect Hamas into government. Israel then launched Cast Lead after an uptick in rocket and mortar attacks.. and as such the days go by.
The current flare up is due to a wish by Iran to shift focus from Syria by antagonizing a common enemy, and to test the new Egyptian leadership's dedication to the Camp David accords. I would not be surprised if Hezbollah joins in on the fun soon too.
Arcus, I'm glad you see the Iranian connection too. I was beginning to think I was alone.
Just as I thought: It's in no one's interest (not those in control)—not the Palestinians, the Israelis, or the Iranians—for the conflict to be resolved. All parties are itching for total victory. Nothing less.
In this particular case, Israel has made concession after concession over the last 20 years or so. They did not have to let the palestinians elect their own government, jsut for instance. Israel was willing to grant independence on the condition that Palestine recognize Israel's right to exist, and the Palestinian negotiators refused.
Israel has already made all the concessions it needs to, IMHO.
I just want Israel to fucking leave us alone. They can bomb Iran, gaza whatever the fuck they want, I am sick of playing big brother (or is it little brother) to Israel. Take care of your own shit, we got our own problems to fix.

In the last month I've had three tick bites. One in FL and two in TN. By the time we got to Columbia, MO the third bite looked pretty angry, so I stopped iand saw a Dr and got a Rx for some Doxycycline.

TeleProductions Produces Internationally In Collaboration With the Office of Global Education
TeleProductions is taking a cultural journey with the Office of Global Education to produce recruitment videos for international students. Creating these videos seems like just another normal project for the production company, but it is much more.
TeleProductions will be making 16 videos for four different regions: China, Brazil, the Middle East and India. Each of the videos will be in the country's native language, which poses an interesting challenge to Producer/Director Shane Roach.
"We've never produced a video like this before," Roach says. "It's a very different experience."
Roach will have to script, shoot and edit the recruitment videos all without fully understanding the country's language or culture. To ensure the project's success, Roach will be working with the Office of Global Education to create a video that appeals to students enveloped in a totally different culture.
"The advisors will conduct the interview, and then TeleProductions will do the editing and introductions – but it's really a collaborative process between the advisors and the production team," says Jessica Cohen, marketing coordinator for the Office of Global Education.
One of the advisors collaborating with TeleProductions is Christina Stanek, who has been working with the production team to ensure a positive message will be sent to Brazil.
"My knowledge of Portuguese was required in order to properly edit the videos," Stanek explains.
"Additionally, my familiarity with Brazilian culture helped us to select which aspects of Kent State we wanted to highlight for that particular audience."
Along with Stanek, TeleProductions worker Le Su is also helping to break the language barrier.
Because of her childhood in China, Su provides an insightful advantage while editing the Chinese recruitment video. She understands the language, culture and video production through her hands-on training with TeleProductions.
When Su makes her final edit, the video will be formatted to play specifically on the iPad, so it can be easily accessed during events like international recruitment fairs.
"The videos are a great personalized tool to tell the story of Kent State through the eyes of each of these cultural lenses," Cohen says. "Since these students don't get the regular college tour, watching the videos is the only opportunity for them to catch a glimpse at campus life."
Through working with the Office of Global Education, TeleProductions has stepped out of its comfort zone to help take the positive message of Kent State University and the College of Communication and Information international.
"The TeleProductions team is very responsive and very organized," Cohen says. "They have been so helpful with the advisors, explaining this is the process you move through, and just making sure it's been easy."

mosh pit
This page is about the slang term mosh pit
an area in front of the stage at a rock concert where people dance energetically, or "mosh"
For example
- The best concert I've ever been to was a Nirvana gig in the early nineties when Kurt Cobain jumped into the mosh pit.
- Keep an eye on the kids in the mosh pit in case any of them faints or gets hurt.

NHL, PA scheduled to resume negotiations Mondayby Dan Rosen
Negotiations between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association toward a new Collective Bargaining Agreement are expected to resume Monday, according to NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.
"We can confirm that we have tentatively agreed to get back together on Monday, either late in the afternoon or early evening," Daly said. "The meeting was requested by the Union and it's their agenda. We will see what they have to tell us."
The sides have not met since Nov. 11, when they got together for roughly 90 minutes and discussed player-contracting issues.
The NHL and NHLPA have been without a CBA since Sept. 16.
The League has cancelled all regular-season games through Nov. 30 as well as the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic, which was scheduled for Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium.

Passive decoupling and damping platform, M (WxHxD): 450x360x48mm. Weight: 7.4kg. Finish: Carbon Fibre Black.
HiFi Equipment Platforms
Silence Plus:
The full monty
The already legendary top-of-the range product in our line of passive hifi equipment stands, the Silence Plus, has been further upgraded during the last year. With the gel support being used in a quite different form, we could create an entirely new design. The upper support surface now fully rests on the gel without any impediments, meaning that it is no longer possible for any vibration at all to get through to the top.
The top surface of the Silence Plus itself is dampened by three different mechanisms, meaning that even vibrations of the equipment itself can be eliminated with extremely high efficiency. Of prime importance is that the absorption occurs across the entire frequency spectrum (large masses are not always good!).
The optimum choices in terms of the properties and innovative arrangement of the materials, as well as the precise matching of individual components lead to an even better performance from the new and improved Silence Plus.
You'll be amazed at how good your equipment can sound!
"The change in the musical reproduction was unmistakable. It was as spectacular as it was surprising. … The spatial effect was remarkable. … The depth of the room remained the same, perhaps even slightly deeper. In terms of width, though, the musical experience demonstrated a new sense of closeness. … After lengthy listening, also over the days that followed, I consistently gained the impression that the THIXAR stands were bringing a pleasant repose to the music. They did this without the slightest sign of limiting the dynamic. On the contrary, the solidity in the music made the sound even more explosive and exciting. … My music room, part of a residential building erected in 1973, has tiled floors. Footsteps come over very clearly on my system. As a test, therefore, I dropped the pick-up onto a stationary turntable and turned the volume up louder than usual. I then stamped down hard on a piece of oor I knew to be particularly sensitive. This usually results in an audible booming from the speakers. With the Silence Plus, though, the phenomenon was markedly suppressed, clear proof of the outstanding damping effect achieved by the THIXAR stand in the low frequencies."

Securing FTP
File Transfer Protocol, FTP has been around a long time. It has been around so long as it is easy to use and is a valuable asset when you need to transfer files, even large files. Any of these applications that were around when the Internet was more of a trusted entity have suffered huge security issues. DNS, Web, Sendmail and FTP were all servers that were around when the Internet was not so hostile and so each application, server daemon, has gone through a time when they were vulnerable to attack. So this is true with FTP. Many of the FTP server daemons that were available originally have now fallen from use as they were insecure.
One of the FTP daemons that has risen out of this growth is VSFTPD, Very Secure FTP Daemon. This daemon was built for scalability, reliability and security. Over time it has proven itself to be a good choice. Not that it has been perfect, but much more secure than most.
Ubuntu Server and Desktop Training
It is now time for administrators to not only use a secure FTP daemon but to also consider using SSL/TLS to encrypt communication for those FTP servers as that is still an issue. All FTP servers transfer user names, passwords and data in plain text that could easily be captured on the network. For the sake of users and the movement toward more secure networks encypted communication for FTP must be a standard that is adopted for FTP. Here is a link to an article that shows you how to set up VSFTPD with SSL.

Most of the residents in UK buy PPI or payment protection insurance. A PPI policy enables a person to repay his debt installments, if he is unable to pay off his dues due to his inability to work as a result of reasons mentioned in the policy. As a result, more and more people in UK buy a PPI policy to cover their debt repayment. Unfortunately, many folks are mis-sold PPI either intentionally or unintentionally by their banks. Thankfully, the UK law has made it mandatory for banks and other institutions that are responsible for mis-sold PPI to repay the dues to policyholders. If you have been mis-sold PPI, it is not very difficult to reclaim PPI.
PPI Reclaiming Process
The process of reclaiming your money is pretty simple and straightforward. It is obligatory for banks to investigate and make repayments. The Financial Ombudsman has outlined the process, and banks are required to process the claims within eight weeks of receipt of complaint. If your claim is rejected by the bank, you can file an appeal with the Financial Ombudsman and their decision is final.
The Process of a Claim
In order to get through the process of reclaim, you can hire the services of agencies that do all the legwork and help you to reclaim PPI. However, they charge their commission in the process. It is not a prudent idea to pay a company for a job which you can do on your own. Hence it is preferable to proceed with the reclaim process in a do it yourself way.
First of all, find out the terms of loan in order to ascertain whether you were mis-sold PPI or not. If you do not have relevant information, obtain necessary information from your bank. Find out whether you were actually mis-sold a PPI policy or not. If you have been mis-sold PPI and are eligible for reclaim PPI, visit your bank and discuss your issue with a relevant bank representative. Request a claim form from your bank for furtherance. Submit all your policy documents along with the claim form and a letter requesting your PPI refunds. Find out how much amount is owed to you and mention the amount and mistakes in the reclaim PPI form. Finally, sit back and receive your refunds.
What to do if the Bank does not Respond
If your bank does not respond within eight weeks in a satisfactory manner, you have the option to file an appeal before the Financial Ombudsman. Your case will be revised by the Ombudsman who will decide whether you were mis-sold PPI or not. Unluckily, they are quite slow with the process, but your chances of reclaiming your money are increased by filing for an appeal. More than 85 percentages of claims are ruled in favor of the borrower. Hence, there is nothing to lose if you send your claim to the Ombudsman, in case you are not satisfied with the result from your bank. Thus, going through the reclaim PPI process is not very difficult. However, it takes a bit of time and efforts before you receive your refunds, but your time and efforts are rewarding.

This is a Template or Pro-Forma Club Members Handbook
It is intended as a resource for Club Committees to build their own Club Handbook, to be available for new and existing members.
We encourage Clubs to list the sort of information that a new or prospective member might be looking for - from where to park your car and float, to how the canteen roster works, to what the uniform requirements are and who to get in touch with if they need something. Don't forget that families might not just be new to your club, but to Pony Club and horse owning as well.
Many clubs already have their own, - this is the only way to promote this information. It is a useful as a prompt and will be a time saver for clubs who have not yet developed one of their own.

With a staff of more than 60,000 people dispersed across the United States, U.S. Bank needed a robust and intuitive program that would allow it to send crucial information in the event of an emergency. The bank turned to BlackBerry® Alliance member Tenet Computer Group Inc. (Tenet) to roll out a customized version of its PINpoint application. The app automatically collects up-to-date information from authoritative sources, pulls contact information and documents from a number of servers, and pushes the info to the emergency response team and employees in near-real time. The emergency response team can also easily push the bank's crisis management handbook to employees, where it is stored in the cache memory in the event that the systems go down. With up-to-date information, reliable access, and the ability to push specific information to different distribution lists, employees are much safer in the event of an unforeseen crisis.

Question: Can a facial scar be removed with surgery?
Answer: Unfortunately, scars are not removed but just improved. The goal is to take a scar that is very visible to the naked eye and make it much harder for one to see it even though there will still be a line there on close inspection. The things that make a scar visible are if it is very straight, if it is of a different color than the surrounding skin, if it is at a different depth or convexity than the surrounding skin, if it is in a direction that runs counter to the normal lines on the face or if it is pulling unnaturally on surrounding tissues causing distortion. Therefore, the goal of a scar revision is to improve all of these conditions. When a linear scar is cut out and replaced with a line however it just looks like another line. The goal is to make a line difficult to see by making it zig zag in minute little bends so that the eye has a hard time seeing it as a straight line. This is visual trickery. The gold standard of a scar revision is a geometric broken line repair that helps to truly irregularize a scar into tiny bends of triangles, trapezoids, etc. making it very hard to visualize if done well and if healing goes well. This line can be further softened with dermabrasion down the road as need be. Other methods like a z-plasty can be helpful to realign a scar that is misplaced in its direction i.e., that runs counter to the natural collagen lines of the face, or that is too shortened and contracted causing tissue distortion around it. A z-plasty is used to change the direction of a scar and to lengthen a contracted one.

Significant changes are underway for the Lenawee United Way as the agency shifts to an "open grants" process.
The new funding model is said to put more of an emphasis on programs rather than agencies.
Twelve member agencies will continue to be funded as in the past, but their funding will be based on the submission of a grant proposal. In addition, any qualified nonprofit group will be eligible to apply for funds.
Groups must have 501c3 federal tax status and their programs must address one of four priority areas: basic needs, employment and self-sufficiency, health, and youth at risk.
By narrowing the focus to specific areas, United Way intends to provide better access to funds for those in the greatest need of food, clothing, low income housing, job training and health care access.
The deadline to apply for funds is Aug. 31.
The changes will make a difference in how local funds are distributed, said Brad Frederick, the new chair of the Morenci United Way committee.

Since being sworn into office this January, Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley has protested two hospital closings, passed her first piece of legislation, and landed on a few influential committees. Most notably, she took on the Department of Education in a heated school policy debate. She lost, but the dispute has gone far to establish Crowley's reputation as a dogged political in-fighter. In three packed months, Crowley, the first female and first Democrat elected to the 30th Council District, already has a growing list of allies and opponents on the City Council and in community groups across the Western Queens neighborhoods she represents.
The Councilwoman sat down with the Queens Ledger on April 8 to discuss her first 100 days in office. The far-ranging, candid interview - divided here into three major topics - was conducted at her spare but pleasant district office in Glendale, where Crowley grew up.
An 'uphill battle' for Maspeth's high school
The City Council's 38-10 vote on April 2 to approve a new $80 million high school in Maspeth ended months of education policy debate between Crowley and the Department of Education (DOE).
The school quickly became Crowley's signature issue and has helped define her as a politician to the many community groups and residents that took part in the dispute. Speaking six days after the City Council vote, Crowley acknowledged the difficulties of opposing the DOE and Bloomberg Administration.
"I understood that this was going to be an uphill battle that was going to be very, very tough to win," said Crowley, who did not succeed in getting DOE to include a strict local zoning provision in the final plan for the school. Crowley voted against the school, for that reason.
Crowley said she was disadvantaged from the start, because the project was already near completion when she was sworn into office. "I was coming into one of the final stages of a plan" that was begun in the spring of 2007, Crowley said. "It was a unique situation for a City Council member."
Despite starting, as she described it, so far behind, Crowley attracted attention almost immediately by stating publicly she would not support plans for the school unless it were locally zoned.
This launched a rigorous back and forth between the DOE, which officially opposes local zoning, and Crowley and Community Board 5, which insisted Maspeth teenagers be given enrollment priority in part to help ease school overcrowding in Queens.
Crowley said she met several times with Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott between February and March to negotiate over the school, but an agreement could not be reached. She described a "grueling" subcommittee debate that eventually sent the proposal to the full City Council, where it was passed despite her opposition and that of nine other council members.
"At the end of the day I knew it would be almost impossible [to get the local zoning]" Crowley said. "But if I didn't fight as hard as I did and take the stance that I did we wouldn't have gotten" concessions on the proposal from the DOE.
Bowing to community pressure, the Education Department did give the school local School District 24 priority, and also agreed to build a much smaller facility with 500 fewer seats. Crowley said critics of the school should remember both are significant victories, ones other council members were impressed she was able to land.
"I don't have any regrets," said Crowley. "The lesson I learned is really how powerful the administration is," she continued. "As a new City Council member, looking back I did all the right things. I kept the community involved and I never lost sight of who I was elected to represent."
Rezoning the future
Crowley said she began working on the problem of overdevelopment in her district - which is comprised of Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood, Richmond Hill and Woodhaven - even before taking office, so she could hit the ground running after being sworn in.
"The district is still an area that is different from the rest of the city," said the 31-year-old Crowley, who is a lifelong Glendale resident. Though many neighborhoods have retained their small town character, Crowley said, the district has grown significantly in recent years.
Crowley said the rise in out-of-context residential developments has increased traffic congestion, school overcrowding, and placed a greater burden on local sewer and transportation systems.
Since taking office, Crowley has supported the City Planning Department's proposed 300-block rezoning of parts of Middle Village, Maspeth, and Glendale, a measure that would protect existing housing and block large-scale development.
She said she made securing the downzoning a priority upon entering office.
"It is our goal to get [the resolution] to City Council as soon as possible," said Crowley, who suggested this could happen in the next few months.
If it is passed, the downzoning would be the third in the area since 2006. Crowley said while protecting overdevelopment is crucial, any city planning should take into account the changing demographics in her district, which now includes growing Polish, Latino, and other immigrant groups.
"When we look at Maspeth, Middle Village, and Glendale neighborhoods, a majority of the people who grew up there seem to stick around," said Crowley. In the past this produced a tight-knit sense of community, she added, but also meant traditionally Irish-Italian-German communities didn't "change all that much in terms of demographics."
"Now you have a little more diversity, which is great. There's a certain liveliness that goes with it," Crowley said. "I see good things happening as it relates to growth in the 30th district."
What's next? Another election
In November, Crowley is up for reelection, again. It will be her third election in 17 months, and fourth since she first ran for office eight years ago. (Crowley, who comes from a well-known political family, admitted her electoral losses in 2001 and 2008 were disappointing, but said she never considered giving up her political aspirations).
This year, for the first time, Crowley will campaign as an incumbent, forcing her to run on a record that will include controversial issues such as the new school; the ongoing development debate; and the closing of the St. John's and Mary Immaculate hospitals, not to mention the recession and its impact on economic growth in her district.
Yet Crowley said she isn't thinking of November, when the entire City Council is up for reelection. She also rejected the idea that her incumbency gives her any edge.
"By no means do I feel that I have security as an elected official," Crowley said. "To get too secure in that position would only be under-serving, under-representing your constituency."
Right now, said Crowley, she has too much work to worry about her next election.
"There's so much to do as a council member," Crowley said. "If I do a good job that will speak for itself."

ConquerStats consists of 2 seperate scripts. They work independently from each other, so you can choose the one you like best, or just install both at the same time.
Download link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34187
Territories held:
What it does
ConquerStats shows a bit of extra information about how players are playing their game. In one of the tables you can see how many times every player has attacked his opponents. In another table you can see how efficiently players are using their reinforcements. The total number of reinforcements in all game rounds is shown and divided in four groups: Regular Reinforcements (those you get for having a certain amount of countries), Bonus (those you get for holding continents) Territory Bonus (auto deployed troops for holding certain territories) Spoils (those you get for cashing a set of cards).
You must be running Firefox with Greasemonkey installed.
Full instructions for Firefox and Greasemonkey from scratch: viewtopic.php?t=41487
The chart is hosted in a Silverlight (more or less Microsoft's version of Flash) application, so you will need to download the Silverlight runtime if you don't have it already. A download button will automatically appear in the game-screen when you need to download it. You will still need Greasemonkey to insert the chart into the website.
ToDo list
Items on this list are under development.
- Toggle cumulative totals for charts (Total armies at beginning of the turn)
- Add an option to continue to draw a 0-reinforcements line for eliminated players
- Integrate with the BOB script so gamelogs don't have to be downloaded 2 times
- Add attacks per turn chart
- 1.5.3: It works with colour codes
- 1.5.2: Site fixes
- 1.5.1: Minor fixes
- 1.5.0:
- The reinforcements table now shows the same stat types as the chart;
- Fixed strike through style for eliminated players;
- The version update check now only checks once per browser session, instead of every page view;
- Some minor lingo changes.
- 1.4.0: - There now is a setting to define where ConquerStats should appear on the screen: Above to gamelog or Below the gamechat.
- 1.3.0: - Territories held chart added + improved mouse-over tooltip information.
- 1.2.0: - Ajax enabled (automatically updates data while playing)
- 1.1.3 & 1.1.4: - Implemented final release of Silverlight 2.0, instead of beta 2
- 1.1.2: - Fixed script to match site's change of lingo
- 1.1.0: - Implemented basic ingame reinforcements charts

The Houston Texans have plenty of signal-callers, but nothing resembling a starter.
New coach Bill O'Brien told reporters on Tuesday that the team's quarterback competition remains "wide open" after the first day of OTAs, according to Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle.
While O'Brien praised free-agent addition Ryan Fitzpatrick's ability to pick up the new playbook, he emphasized that Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage all have a chance to seize the top role. None of these men have finished an NFL season with a passer rating north of 83.3.
As of this writing, an online Chronicle poll showed readers heavily favoring Keenum -- last year's upstart -- over Fitzpatrick, with Savage and Yates bringing up the rear.
We also haven't ruled out the prospect of Houston dealing for Ryan Mallett, the Patriots' backup eternally mentioned in trade talks and a signal-caller O'Brien knows well from their time together in New England.
Texans fans would feel more at home if every name mentioned above was in the running for Houston's No. 2 spot behind an established franchise quarterback -- but that's something O'Brien lacks during his maiden NFL voyage.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" predicts 2014 starting lineups and talks insider goodness with Bucky Brooks.

Q: What are some common statistics as to how disabilities affect Church members?
A: Because of the international nature of the Church, there are no statistics that show how often disabilities affect Church members as compared to others in their nations. However, the following are statistics about people in the United States:
- Developmental disabilities affect 17 percent of children in the United States. These lifelong disabilities begin in childhood and have a major impact on the health and educational functioning of children. These include physical, psychological, intellectual, and speech impairments.1
- In the United States, 22 percent of U.S. adults (18 years and older) reported having a disability.2
- In the United States, over 46 percent of adults over 18 experience a diagnosable mental disorder during their lifetime. Anxiety, impulse control disorders, mood disorders (for example, depression or bipolar disorder), and substance abuse are the most common.3 Other disorders may include sleep disorders, dementia, and eating disorders.

An art student at Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, Melanie Hoff, stuck cables carrying 15,000 volts of electricity into a large sheet of plywood and then watched what happened.
The video, it should be noted, is sped up hundreds of thousands of times.
It's also a wonderful demonstration of a Lichtenberg figure, a branching electrical pattern that also appears on the skin of some lightning victims.

A total of four Hope College students were named finalists in the Opera Grand Rapids Collegiate Competition held on Friday, Feb. 24, at the Betty Van Andel Opera Center in Grand Rapids.
Senior Jenna Buck of Elburn, Ill., junior Haley Hodges of Hart, senior Caitlin McDougall of Flint and senior Brent Smith of Owosso are among nine finalists chosen from a total of 15 select contestants from Hope, Aquinas College, Calvin College, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids Community College and Grand Valley State University. They and the other finalists will compete in the final round scheduled for Sunday, April 22, at 7 p.m. at Aquinas College's Kretschmer Auditorium.
The Opera Grand Rapids Collegiate Vocal Competition provides an opportunity for outstanding student vocalists being trained full-time at Greater Grand Rapids-area colleges and universities to compete in a professional competition and to be recognized for excellence by a professional opera company. The participating students are asked to perform two arias in differing styles, languages and composers from opera and/or operetta.
Buck is majoring in vocal music performance. She is a 2008 graduate of Kaneland High School, and the daughter of Mark and Cathy Buck of Elburn.
Hodges is majoring in vocal music performance and theatre. She is a 2009 graduate of Hart High School, and the daughter of Tina Hodges of Hart and Jeffrey Hodges of Pentwater.
McDougall is majoring in vocal music education. She is a 2008 graduate of Powers Catholic High School, and the daughter of Patrick and Jesusa McDougall of Flint.
Smith is majoring in piano performance. He is a 2008 graduate of Owosso High School, and the son of Kent and Monica Smith of Owosso.
All four students have been active in music or theatrical performance in a variety of ways through the years. Among other activities during the current school year, Buck was a member of the cast of the February 3-4 Opera Grand Rapids production of "The Magic Flute"; Hodges was a member of the cast of Hope College Theatre's November production of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"; and McDougall and Smith were among the soloists selected to perform during the college's annual Concerto/Aria concert on February 3.
Each was also a member of the cast of the college's fall 2010 production of the Kurt Weill opera "Street Scene," a major collaborative effort of the departments of music and theatre, Buck as a member of the high school graduation class; Hodges as Jenny and a nursemaid; McDougall as Mrs. Fiorentino; and Smith as Harry Easter. In addition, all four will be featured soloists during the college's forthcoming Musical Showcase concert, which will take place on Monday, March 5, at DeVos Hall in Grand Rapids.
McDougall and Smith were also finalists last year in the opera competition, as was Hope senior Sarah Ashcroft of Holland, who won the 2011 event.
All of the Hope students study with Linda LeFever Dykstra, who is an associate professor of music and chair of the voice division at Hope.
