Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On the response by the team to a tough draw
"Obviously very disappointed to not come away with 3 points today, especially going 2-1 down in the game, fighting back to 2-2, and having a penalty kick with no time left; I think it was almost storybook, but it would've been great for us to win the game in that manner. Having said that, for a neutral, great game to watch; you guys are watching it, it's a difficult pitch, we need to sort that out. Other than that, I had a talk with the guys at halftime. I questioned them a little bit about 'Did we really want to win? Did we really fancy our chances to come back into this game?' I thought we responded well, I thought we showed heart, and that's all I'm asking for, and we had a chance to win the game. So, disappointed we didn't win it, but all in all, maybe our luck could turn in the next game."
On Philadelphia's second goal and set pieces
"Well, I think the set-up, to be honest, a very good service, it's set up to do that: you're aiming for the back post, you're getting runners across the goal and goalkeeper. It either bounces and goes in the far post, or someone gets a touch, so it was a great service. We've been really, really poor; and I wouldn't say it's just individual stuff, but really poor on set plays generally, conceding goals. We have to clean that up, and it's something that we've been working on, we've looked a little bit better at it, but it's still something that's hurting us, so we need to address it and keep going. Again, I go back to the last 10 minutes of the game, and we're pushing to try and get something out of it, and I'd like to say I'm proud of the guys, the way they kept going in a difficult match, and didn't lie down and die, didn't accept the tie. We tried to win the match, and you'll be talking to Mike [Magee] later on, he'd love to have that back. Listen, penalty kicks are difficult, it's a precious situation, and sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. I just saw it, and the kid [Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath] made a great save on it, so, tough."
On the issues behind set pieces
"Second balls. We talked about it, we've shown them, we've worked on it in training. You can't force us to be like that, but you can make habits out of it, so we'll just keep working on it. We'll address it again on Monday, we'll go over video, we'll go over it in training, we'll talk about being alert when the ball is bouncing about, getting to errors. It's dangerous, it's not always about staying with your guy, it's about heading the ball out, and I think we kind of get a little bit caught with 'I've got my fellow, but in the end, you could've helped out and cleared the ball.' So, good service, I thought it was a good service by the fellow [Philadelphia midfielder Leonardo Fernandes], and I think that in the end, we couldn't deal with it; but it was a pretty good goal on their behalf."
On the performance by the Fire midfield
"I really think, and I'm not blaming the pitch, but we couldn't really get into rhythm, especially in the first half, to play any stuff we wanted to. I went with Matt [Watson] and Jeff [Larentowicz] because I felt the center of that park is strong with Maurice Edu and [Brian] Carroll, so I wanted to match up with them, and I thought Patrick [Nyarko] would be a good matchup for anybody wide…I thought he had a good first half, he's not played for a little bit, and I thought he did well. I thought the matchups were good. Young Harry [Shipp] plays a little bit inside, so I wanted to maybe have a little bit of balance. I thought we played great for 20 minutes, to be honest…we scored a goal early, we could've gotten the second one. All in all, formations are formations. What I will say, is that subs made a difference again, and that's why they're there; like I always say, it's about guys that don't play, or substitutes in the match, to be ready to go, because you are the difference in the match. I thought Dilly [Duka], Juan [Luis Anangono], and Alex made a difference, I think that in the end, it's not just the 11 starters, it's everybody that contributes."
On learning more about the team and looking for the right team to field
"I think so. We've played preseason games, but in the end, it doesn't really matter, there's nothing on those games. These are the games, four points, that matter. I'm still learning about a lot of players, I'm still learning about the squad. We're unbeaten in four, by the way, so that for me is always a good thing for a coach. We haven't won in five, which is not a good thing, so I try to look positive; we have to look for the next game. I thought we did enough to win this match today; I'm not saying that Philly weren't very good or anything, which they were, but I felt in the end we pushed, we had two really good chances to score late, Mike having both of them, the penalty kick and the left footed shot. I think it would've been a deserved win. We're not far off, we have to keep going and not worry about not winning, because if you start worrying about it, you won't play well; so, it's my job to make sure that they don't worry about it, take the pressure off them and just get them to play, and the wins will come once we get that."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire Forward
On what he saw on the penalty kick:
"I saw the goalie save it, which was unfortunate, and then I tried to tap it in and it was saved again. Obviously it was more his moment than mine."
On his goal:
"It's hard to talk about that to be honest. It's good to get the monkey off my back, but the only thing on my mind is not winning. I had a pretty sweet opportunity to be the hero, but it wasn't meant to be I guess."
On another draw:
"We want to win, and we need to win at home to be a successful team. I hate to lose more than I love to win, which is pretty cliché, but as long as we're not dropping games at home I feel like we're heading in the right direction. Sometimes when you squeak out games you don't deserve to win it's unjust, but tonight we deserved to win and we deserved three points. We're not getting it but I feel like it's going to translate."
On the importance of getting the first win:
"The first one is the hardest. I feel like the longer you go without winning, your confidence goes down, plays become harder and you over-think everything. Sometimes when you're winning, plays become easy because you don't care if you lose. The first win would have been perfect for us tonight. The stars were aligned for it and it didn't happen."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On midfield's performance:
"It's another example of how we're not getting beat in open play. I think we had a very solid scouting report coming in and I think we did well to shut it down. We gave up some fouls in dangerous places and they scored on restarts."
On playing his partnership with Watson:
"It's good. Matt's an honest guy, he's going to run all day long and he's been fantastic since he's gotten here. He's playing right back where he's never played before. We put him in the midfield, where he's more natural, and he'll run and cover ground and do all those things. Whatever the coaches decide going forward, it's good, if it's Matt, then great."
On what the team needs to do to get a win:
"Once we get a lead, we need to hold onto it. I think every game we've tied, we've been ahead and we haven't held on. It's all about having a consistent performance the whole game. In the first half we played well, then we had a lull and gave up goals."
On the emotions on how the game ended:
"There's no catharsis. We continue to seem like we're there, but we're not. You try and pick a bright side and say we're not losing, we're coming back, we're fighting, the substitutes are making a difference, new guys are coming – there are a lot of positives but in the end there's a hole, there's not a win, there's not three points in the standings.

How You Can Help
The Yucatan Crippled Children's Project is in vital need of financial contributions to continue to provide care for these children. Equipment, medical supplies, and travel costs are substantial, and the program must rely on the generosity of individual and corporate gifts.
Dr. Southerland was asked how he copes with caring for these children -- many so profoundly deformed that he may not be able to help. In reply, he recounted a story he had heard a long time ago:
The tides wash up thousands of starfish on the shore, where they will dry out and die. An old man, walking along the sand, is picking up newly beached starfish and throwing them back in. Someone asked him, "Why are you doing that? It doesn't make a difference. More starfish will be washed up to die with the next tide." The old man picks up a starfish, throws it back, and says, "It made a difference to that one."
You can help Dr. Southerland make a difference in the lives of these crippled children.

Jim Morrison Rock Heaven Prayer Candle
"Try to set the night on fire"
Rock Heaven is our newest series of prayer-style candles, dedicated to iconic musicians that died too soon. Each had incredible impact in their time, and continue to inspire new generations. We've taken a "fan-art" approach with hand-drawn images of these idols incorporated into digital wraparound designs. Each includes a lyric that we felt was emblematic of the artists' lives, work and attitude.
White wax candle in glass open-necked holder is coated with our high-quality metallic silver glitter technique, which adds dimension and sparkle even when candle is not lit. Image overlay is fade, scratch and water resistant. Candle will burn for approximately 100 hours; of course you'd never leave a burning candle unattended.

For Immediate Release
Patricia Kiernan Johnson;
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS and OPERA AMERICA
November 13 – 22, 2009
Opera has become such a vital part of the American musical fabric, that over 90 companies/organizations from Alaska to Texas, from New York to Los Angeles, and everywhere in between (32 states to be exact/see attachment for full list), will be participating in and celebrating the first ever
NATIONAL OPERA WEEK from November 13-22, 2009
. National Opera Week is organized by OPERA America, the national service organization for opera (
), with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts.
will officially be launched with the presentation of the
2009 NEA Opera Honors to Marilyn Horne, John Adams, Frank Corsaro, Lotfi Mansouri and Julius Rudel on November 14 at the Harman Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The National Opera Week celebration will reach from coast to coast with over 90 opera companies from 32 states (plus the District of Columbia). These opera companies will offer a range of
programs for the public that demonstrate the allure and accessibility of this most multi-media of the arts and will be accessible to both opera lovers and newcomers to the art form. These events, showcasing the strength and diversity of established companies, community opera ensembles and opera training programs, will range from open houses, lectures/demonstrations and community performances to the presentation of the nation's highest award in the field, the NEA Opera Honors. National Opera Week has been created to bring the inventiveness and excitement of opera to a broader national audience (see attachment for examples).
Other noteworthy events of National Opera Week include in New York City the fifth annual
Opera News
Awards on November 19; the November 22 annual Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala, showcasing some of today's most promising young singers; the New York City Opera dedicating all performances from November 14-22 to National Opera Week, with special tributes to Julius Rudel and Frank Corsaro; and the Metropolitan Opera providing special free access to Met performances available on Met Player, the company's new online streaming service, during National Opera Week.

With a wide range of artistic and administrative services in a purpose-built facility, the Opera Center is dedicated to increasing the level of excellence, creativity and effectiveness across the field.
OPERA America's long tradition of supporting and nurturing the creation and development of new works led to the formation of
The Opera Fund
, a growing endowment which allows OPERA America to make a direct impact on the ongoing creation and presentation of new opera and music-theater works. Since its inception, OPERA America has made grants of nearly $11 million to assist companies with the expenses associated with the creation and development of new works.

GRAY — Four men face terrorizing charges after allegedly trying to force their way into a home in Gray, apparently in retaliation for a previous incident.
The group tried to force their way into a home on Forest Lake Road on Wednesday, cutting power to the home and trying to kick in the door, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. One was allegedly armed with a handgun.
The men were unable to get through the door and eventually left, police said. Nobody was injured.
The group fled in a car that was found a short time later in the neighboring town of Cumberland, the sheriff's office said. Police did not find a gun.
The incident was believed to be in retaliation for an assault that took place over the weekend at the Eagles Club in Portland, where the victim in Wednesday's incident allegedly attacked one of the four men now charged.
Police charged Andrew Thorne, 49, of Portland with felony terrorizing, and charged Scott Lombardi, 58, of Portland, Michael Maietta, 58, of South Portland and Joseph Nightingale, 61, of Falmouth with misdemeanor terrorizing.
Maietta is a former Scarborough police officer. He was employed from 1993 until 2002 when he was terminated, according to the town's Human Resources Department.
All four were taken to Cumberland County Jail and posted bail, which ranged from $150 to $300.
They have a court date set for Oct. 16.
Falmouth police assisted with the investigation.

And the dark just killed the sun
If the light must end
You've got time to run away
There's a door to dreams
And it always lets you in
But with a silent scream
All the nightmares must begin
Still you chase what you can't see
Like death and pain and sin
And the Shadow of The Wind
The Shadow of The Wind
You'll remember me
I could make you disappear
Be where you want to be
Just as long as it's not here
Well I'm back and stronger
And the first one's always free
And it lasts much longer
You can bet your sanity
Never more the victim cries
As I slip beneath the skin
Like the Shadow of The Wind
The Shadow of The Wind
If words had names like red and green
And two for sympathy
Black and white and in between
Then you'd be misery
Every day is an inquisition
Who are you? What are you? Why?
I'm alive, I belong, I'll be back
It's a half truth, still a whole lie
In the garden of good and evil
You'll come, but you know
The spider only spins
The Shadow of The Wind
The Shadow of The Wind
Writer(s): Iommi Anthony Frank, Padavona Ronald

I'm an Organizing Junkie
Linking up to:
We're Organized Wednesday at Organize Your Stuff Now
Yes, it's beautiful! Probably takes much less space, too!
That is quite the ribbon assortment! Great idea.
Why did I never think of that??? I'm such a nerd!!
I have that same mess going on. This is a brilliant idea!
Wow, I love this idea! By the way, I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog & since you're a follower, I wanted to make sure you know about it. Hop on over to enter!
Warmly, Michelle
Eye candy, sister. Pure eye cand!
What a great fix! Thank you for sharing it with me, so awesome. It looks amazing. Isn't that the best feeling in the world!!
Okay, this is pretty fabulous! Thanks for sharing. Love it! I tie my ribbons onto large "macrame" rings by color -- but this may be what I have to do next...
Great solution! Much better than letting the nice pieces of ribbon lay around and become cat toys like so much of mine has! I'm going to try this.
LOVE this idea. It's brilliant!
What a super creative idea without buying more stuff!!! I heart pretty ribbons.
Wonderful! I have a plastic caddy that holds rolls of ribbon, but now I have more ribbon than will go in the caddy & on enough space (or $$) for more caddies. Thanks for the idea!
What a great idea, especially love using what we have already in the house ...
Rubberbands! Why didn't I think of that?! :) I love how it turned out. Feels good now that you're done, right? So pretty!
Congrats at being featured on I'm an Organizing Junkie!
Wow this is sure a "duh" moment for me. I have ribbon and lace all over the place and thanks for the tip. Now I should be able to close the drawer;-)
What a wonderful idea! I just did the glass jar thing and hung some spools on a tea cup holder and a wall hanging thingy...but this is a great idea! I may need a "do over" and I can for sure do it with my lace that is just shoved in a bag under the counter! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
I love this idea!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Throughout 2008 pandora braclets has accomplished a acceleration in the amount of retailers adulatory to undertake a Pandora boutique fit. The 'shop in shop' abstraction is a acutely authentic amplitude in a store, alone is committed to Pandora. The 'shop in shop' is comprised of Pandora accessories and displays.
I hang my ribbon hung a la Tim Holtz, but I like your idea of having it all together and kept clean. Thanks.
What a great project! :) I've featured this post on Craft Gossip here:
If you would like a "featured by" button, you can grab one here:
I wish I had thought about this...what a simple but clever idea. I have 3 boxes full of ribbon and can never find what i need...you saved my sanity :-) I must pin this :-)
I did something similar a few months back: http://www.meari.blogspot.com/2012/02/organizing-fool-ribbon-storage.html

Ready for Your Close-Up, Mr. Systrom: Zuckerberg Touts 15-Second Instagram Video at Facebook Event
Mark Zuckerberg opened the Instagram event at Facebook's Silicon Valley HQ today, focusing on the growth of the popular photo-sharing service that he bought last year for a pile of dough and that announced today that it will now be offering video too.
But it was up to Instagram head and co-founder Kevin Systrom to go all Kodak moment on the media gathered, declaring that Instagram "captures the images of your life."
Systrom noted that Instagram has 16 billion people and 130 million people on the service. "That's a lot of pictures of coffee," joked the lanky entrepreneur.
And, thus, to no surprise to anyone by now, he introduced video on Instagram.
It's a 15-second offering, and looks on the face of it a lot like Twitter's Vine, but with some differences. That includes the ability to edit clips and put filters and cover frames on them, as well as no endless looping. It is also integrated into the Instagram photo feed, will be able to be shared to Facebook's larger news feed and is available on the Web, Apple iPhone and also Google Android.
"This is the same Instagram we all know and love, but it moves," said Systrom.
Then, in a little Steve Jobsian moment, he said: "But there's more."
Called Cinema, it's a a video stabilization video technology for the popular mobile app. In other words, no more shaky-shaky, which is my entire thang when doing video.
In a Q&A after his presentation, Systrom answered some basic questions, including "Why is six seconds not enough?" This referred to Vine, whose videos are that long — or, really, short.
"It's that Goldilocks moment," said Systrom, being careful not to insult Twitter's product by noting time length was an "artistic" decision.
I asked Systrom about the business implications of the product, given so many brands — such as Burberry — use the photo service to reach consumers. I am personally worried about a spate of really bad Calvin Klein-type commercials..
Systrom demurred, noting he did not expect a business question (hmm, really?).
"We'll see," he said, which is to say, of course brands will eat this up, both organically and for selling their wares via advertising.
When asked a question if Facebook would wade again into the controversy over who owns the content consumers create on Instagram or if the social networking site would try to claim some rights.
"You do," he said.

My Little Pony enthusiasts are serious about their ponies. Apparently there's a whole community of folks who lament the fact that the dolls have actual doll hair that you can brush and style, which looks nothing like the pony cartoon characters. Purists were up in arms. Leave it to a maker to answer their distress call. Sebastopol, Calif.-based Chris Herman (aka OtakuSquirrel) dutifully began making plastic molded hair for the ponies, meticulously replicating the luscious locks of the cartoon characters. I learned about his efforts on master costume and mold maker Shawn Thorsson's site. Chris had come to ask Shawn for mold making tips. Shawn writes:
Using polymer clay, Chris has been painstakingly sculpting out perfect pony coifs (and at least one hat), then shaving (or maybe plucking, I didn't ask) the doll hair from the toys and replacing it with his work. His deviantart page started getting so much traffic from collectors begging him to offer some for sale that he finally decided it was a good idea to mold and cast plastic pony wigs.
Using translucent platinum cure silicone for the molds and Legos for mold boxes, he set about making his pony wigs. In the end, the only help he needed was a bit of advice on where to put in vents and pour spouts for the resin. Here's some of this resin castings lined up with the Lego mold boxes in the background:
Previously, we've posted about the My Little Pony soldering unicorn and the My Little Pony Storm Trooper. Now we know where to get maker-made mane and tail kits. Just check out this attention to detail:

Born September 9, 1966, in Brooklyn, Adam Sandler was raised in Manchester, New Hampshire. At the age of 17, his brother dared him to take the stage at a Boston comedy club's amateur night and was surprised at how well Adam performed. That planted the seed for his career, though he first attended NYU, receiving a Fine Arts degree in 1989. Not long after graduation, Sandler gained a position with the NBC-TV sketch-comedy show Saturday Night Live, and became one of the show's most popular actors during his five-year stint. In 1993, Warner Brothers signed Sandler to a recording contract, and he delivered his debut album They're All Gonna Laugh at You that September. The LP became popular with college radio and sold well, earning a gold certification and a Grammy nomination. Sandler broke out in the cinema the following year, appearing in Mixed Nuts and Coneheads before his first starring vehicle, 1995's Bill Madison. His second comedy album, What the Hell Happened to Me?, was released in early 1996; it leapt into the Top 20 and eventually went platinum. By now one of the biggest comic stars in America, Sandler reeled off a string of blockbuster films including Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy and Big Daddy before releasing his third album, Stan and Judy's Kid, in 1999. The 2000s found Sandler trying his hand at less comedic rolls (Punch Drunk Love), animation (8 Crazy Nights), but the box-office results were mixed. In 2004 he released his fifth album, Shhh...Don't Tell. ~ John Bush

Abstract and Keywords
Alternatives to incarceration are more than options, they have evolved into sentences of their own accord. Originally, probation and prison were the two major sentences; however, the concept of intermediate or graduated sanctions emerged in the 1980s and evolved throughout the 1990s. While alternatives to incarceration were considered options, they are now recognized as intermediate sanctions, graduated sanctions, and just plain sentencing options. This emergence occurred during the time that probation-plus-conditions sentences spiked, so that the average probationer now has over 17 standard conditions. With Justice Reinvestment Initiatives as a national effort to reduce the impact of mass incarceration policies, the JRI policy effort the has served to legitimize sentences that used to be considered "alternatives" by incorporating risk/need assessments, legislation to reduce sentence lengths and incarceration sentences, and changes in practices to address noncompliant probationers and parolees. Here, a new conceptual model is proposed that integrates sentencing options with results from a risk and need assessment depending on various types of liberty restrictions. Given the need to reduce prison overcrowding, there is an even further need to examine how different sentencing options can be used for different type of individuals.
Keywords: alternatives, sanctions, Justice Reinvestment Initiative, sentencing, probation, incarceration

We present fast and robust numerical algorithms for 3-D scattering from perfectly electrical conducting (PEC) and dielectric random rough surfaces in microwave remote sensing. The Coifman wavelets or Coiflets are employed to implement Galerkin's procedure in the method of moments (MoM). Due to the high-precision one-point quadrature, the Coiflets yield fast evaluations of the most off-diagonal entries, reducing the matrix fill effort from O(N^2) to O(N). The orthogonality and Riesz basis of the Coiflets generate well conditioned impedance matrix, with rapid convergence for the conjugate gradient solver. The resulting impedance matrix is further sparsified by the matrix-formed standard fast wavelet …

Students of Pope Francis summarize his agenda with the phrase "pastoral conversion." Lent is an especially suitable time to think and pray about conversion. But what is pastoral conversion?
Conversion is about a change of mind and heart that affects all the baptized. The source of this is our encounter with Jesus Christ and especially the experience of his forgiveness, love, and mercy. Pope Francis insists that the church—which means us, the people of God—must go out to encounter others and share the experience of God's love. We do this not by pushing doctrines and morality, but by inviting people to personally encounter the living Christ.
The starting point is a matter of experience, an event, and not a proposition to subscribe to with the mind. Doctrine and morality certainly do count, but the church's mission to evangelize does not start there.
Redirecting the church's outreach to the invitation to experience Christ's love brings with it an ability to engage in real dialogue. Pastoral conversion demands the capacity to encounter others and respect their views, even when they differ from our own. Openness to others is not just a nice gesture, being polite, or showing tolerance—it is a way to witness to God's universal love. True dialogue reveals respect for the dignity of people, even one's "enemies," in a world where polarization, taking sides, and culture wars are so very common. That's why Pope Francis stresses a culture of encounter.
Pastoral conversion means that the faithful at large assume responsibility for the church's mission. Pope Francis suggests that "missionary disciple" is the term that best captures the fullness of the baptismal call. The distinction between clergy and laity is not helpful for an evangelizing church. Pastoral conversion means mobilizing all the faithful, for without their mobilization there is no way the church can accomplish its evangelizing mission.
What this means is that all of us must stop thinking of the church mainly as an institution, or of our priesthood as a nice "niche" to be occupied, or of our function as deacon or lay ecclesial minister as a status. Everything has to be transformed into mission. That includes the parish, which so often becomes self-referential rather than missionary.
Pastoral conversion means keeping the poor in mind and helping them while also listening to them. When the church demonstrates care for the marginal it gives the most credible sign after martyrdom of having encountered Jesus. Think about Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. When we show genuine concern for the poor and for social justice we are "putting our money where our mouth is." Christianity shows its authenticity not by the beauty of its liturgies, or the brilliance of its theologians as much as by its regard for those on the periphery: the oppressed, the aged, immigrants, the sick, the rejected, and the forgotten. So pastoral conversion means a change of heart and the courage to get down with the poor and learn from them, for they are very special conduits of the Good News.
Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are the three traditional activities of Lent. They can be viewed as the embodiment of pastoral conversion that requires noticing your dependency on God and others through prayer, the experiencing of hunger or the "embodied need" of the poor, and giving of your substance to those in need. Pastoral conversion is just another name for living the incarnate love of God manifested at Holy Week, the final destination of our Lenten journey.

The Middle East cannot be freed from weapons of mass destruction unless the US turns the spotlight on Israel
Saturday, February 09 2008 @ 12:31 AM CST Views: 169
A nuclear-free mirage
Dilip Hiro
As Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, finalises his report on Iran's nuclear programme, the Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, has been promoting the "historic idea" of a Middle East free from weapons of mass destruction.
This overlaps with a goal adopted by the UN security council back in 1991 when resolution 687 talked about "the establishment of a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the region of the Middle East".
The resolution, approved after the expulsion of Iraqi troops from Kuwait, had eight paragraphs dealing with Iraq's programmes in biological, chemical, and nuclear arms, and made clear that sanctions were to be lifted if, and only if, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other UN inspectors had given Iraq a clean bill of health regarding its WMD activities.
Paragraph 14 notes "that the actions under paragraphs 8-13 of this resolution represent steps towards the goal of establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction and all missiles for their delivery and the objective of a global ban on chemical weapons".
However, there is a subtle but important difference between a WMD-free Middle East and the establishment of a WMD-free zone "in" the Middle East as set out in resolution 687. The resolution does not attempt to define the zone (at least, not beyond Iraq) and the word "in" suggests such a zone might not apply to the whole of the Middle East.
Presumably this omission was not accidental, though the idea of a WMD-free zone covering only parts of the region makes no sense. The objective of a Middle East free of WMDs can be achieved only if Israel is also declared free of them by IAEA and other UN inspectors.
In defiance of the security council resolution 487 of June 1981, Israel has not placed its nuclear facilities, whether civilian or military, under IAEA safeguards.
Indeed, while it is an open secret that Israel's nuclear facility at Dimona started producing atom bombs in 1968, and that it has built up an arsenal of some 200 nuclear bombs, it has not officially acknowledged the existence of such activity.
Moreover, Israel has ongoing biological and chemical weapons programmes. The Israeli Institute for Biological Research (IIRB) at Nes Ziona, south of Tel Aviv, established in 1952, is the Israeli military and intelligence community's front organisation for developing, testing and producing biological and chemical weapons. Access to Nes Ziona is denied even to the members of the Israeli parliament's foreign affairs and defence committees concerned about the health risks to the residents of the area.
The US Office of Technology Assessment for Congress reported in 1993 that Israel had "undeclared offensive chemical warfare capabilities" and was 'generally reported as having an undeclared offensive biological weapons programme.' In that year the Israeli government acknowledged that Marcus Klinberg, deputy head of the IIRB, was given 20 years sentence in solitary confinement in 1983 for leaking information on Israel's biological weapons programme to the Soviet Union. In 1998, despite the protest by Nes Ziona's residents, the government extended the IIRB site by a further 41 acres.
Unless Washington takes a lead on turning the spotlight on Israel's WMD, the idea of the WMD-free Middle East will remain empty rhetoric.

In January, Bingham Ray died. A lot of moviegoers probably wouldn't have recognized his name, but if they loved independent film in the 1990s, they knew his work. The co-founder of October Films, Ray had helped distribute movies by Mike Leigh (Life Is Sweet, Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy), Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves), David Lynch (Lost Highway), and others. Even after October Films folded, Ray was seen as one of the champions of smaller films that might not have made it to the U.S. without his help. During the '90s, the October logo in the titles was a hell of a stamp of approval.
On Friday, Adam Yauch died. He had a more famous name than Ray did, and most of the obituaries have focused on his 33-year career with Beastie Boys. But he was also one of the two men (with THINKFilm executive David Fenkel) who founded Oscilloscope, which had started distributing art-house features and documentaries in 2008 with an October Films-like sense of what was good.
One of its first releases was the well-reviewed hoops documentary Gunnin' for That #1 Spot, directed by Yauch himself, but Oscilloscope was more than a vehicle for his own filmmaking ambitions. In the fall of 2008, it put out Wendy and Lucy, an intensely small-scale drama from director Kelly Reichardt (Old Joy) that starred Michelle Williams as a young drifter driving to Alaska with her dog to find work, only to have her car break down in Oregon. The plot was simple—she gets pinched for stealing and her beloved dog goes missing—but it was an utterly beautiful film, cementing Williams's status as a major actress. It was the sort of movie that demonstrates why indie distributors are so valuable: Too tiny a film to attract even the art-house divisions of the studios, it needed a smaller company willing to put it out, and Oscilloscope did. Wendy and Lucy was such a moving, life-changing experience for me that the company's distinctive opening-credits logo instantly became one of my favorites.
Oscilloscope continued to put out quality work. Yauch was a socially and politically conscious Buddhist—who else was daring and articulate enough to speak out about bigotry against Muslims at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1998?—and Oscilloscope quickly became a respected distributor of thought-provoking documentaries like Burma VJ: Reporting From a Closed Country and powerful issue-driven films such as The Messenger. But it wasn't all weighty fare: Oscilloscope oversaw the DVD release of the terrific Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop and handled the theatrical roll-out of last year's Bellflower, the vivid, violent cult film about unrequited love. In the last few years, its best films were as good as anyone's: Meek's Cutoff, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Rebirth, possibly the most penetrating documentary about the lingering effects of the 9/11 attacks.
But Yauch wasn't just a figurehead for the company; he passionately cared about his films. Evan Glodell, the writer-director-star of Bellflower, commented on how involved Yauch was in helping get the film ready for release, including ponying up extra money to correct sound issues at the last minute. "He immediately seemed like a very kind, genuine person," Glodell recalled about first meeting Yauch. "[I]t was one of those things where I know this person cares more about the art and what we're doing than anything else. When someone is coming from that place, there's no way something bad can happen." Oscilloscope's presentation always felt inviting, rather than portentous. Just look at the posters for We Need to Talk About Kevin and Meek's Cutoff. They made the art house feel like an event.
While Yauch didn't do it alone, Oscilloscope's temperament seemed to spring from him, a gentleman who had become famous first for making juvenile raps on Licensed to Ill but realized he had to grow up and evolve. That's why it was impossible to take seriously some people's complaints that Bellflower was misogynistic: Yauch, who renounced the Beasties' early sexism by rapping, "I want to say a little something that's long overdue/The disrespect to women has got to be through" on "Sure Shot," would never have released such a movie if he thought it was anti-female.
In 2012, Oscilloscope will release the LCD Soundsystem farewell concert film, Shut Up and Play the Hits, the startling Andrea Arnold adaptation of Wuthering Heights, and 28 Hotel Rooms, one of the best films at this year's Sundance. Adam Yauch's death probably means the end of Beastie Boys, which is a shame, but hopefully Oscilloscope will carry on for years to come. Indie distributors pop up and then vanish so quickly that we need a place like Oscilloscope to live on, even if its guiding light is no longer with us.

North American Opera Companies Open New Venues During 2006-07 Season
Other Companies in Construction Phase With New Homes
New York, NY--OPERA America, the national service organization for opera, announces that two North American opera companies will each inaugurate magnificent new theaters in major celebrations during their 2006-07 seasons. Two other American companies have major construction efforts underway with anticipated theater openings in the next 2-3 years, joining a roster of recently completed opera facilities.
"Opera in North America continues to flourish with more than half of today's companies having been founded after 1970," stated Marc A. Scorca, OPERA America's President and CEO. "New opera houses, whether flexible venues or completely opera-specific, are a testament to the continued growth of the field, a community's commitment to supporting their local opera company, and a permanent investment in opera's future."
Canadian Opera Company celebrated the opening of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in downtown Toronto with a new production of Wagner's monumental Ring Cycle, an undertaking that requires ambition, seriousness and a significant financial commitment. The Four Seasons Centre opened in mid-September. Designed by Toronto architect Jack Diamond, the Four Seasons Centre integrates the best features of the grand European opera houses with innovative technology in acoustics and sightlines. As well as being the new home of the Canadian Opera Company, the Four Seasons Centre is also the performance venue for The National Ballet of Canada. It will attract international-caliber artists in both opera and dance along with international attention.
Opening in downtown Miami in October 2006, the magnificent Carnival Center, designed by world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, includes the 2,400-seat Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House, the 2,200-seat Knight Concert Hall, a 200-seat black box Studio Theater, the Peacock Education Center, a restored Art Deco Tower, and the Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts that will unite the Center buildings across Biscayne Boulevard and provide a setting for outdoor entertainment and informal gatherings. The Carnival Center will be a Miami venue not only for its four resident companies (Concert Association of Florida, Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet, and New World Symphony), but also for many smaller South Florida arts organizations.
Florida Grand Opera's first production in the new Center will feature Verdi's monumental Aida. With more than 200 performers and spectacular new sets and costumes designed by Allen Charles Klein, the production will be directed by Bliss Hebert. American soprano Angela Brown will be joined by tenor Andrew Richards as Radames. Aida will be conducted by FGO Music Director Stewart Robertson.
Additional North American opera companies are planning and constructing new performance venues. The Dallas Opera is preparing to move into a world-class theater designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster. The Opera's new venue at the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts is made possible by a lead gift of $42 million from Bill and Margot Winspear, longtime Board members and for whom the new opera house will be named. The Dallas Opera anticipates beginning to perform in the Winspear Opera House during 2009.
Austin Lyric Opera is making progress in a major "eco-friendly" effort in the building of the Long Center for the Performing Arts overlooking the heart of downtown Austin. Sixty-five percent of the former Palmer Auditorium is being reused in the Center's construction, including the concrete flooring of the auditorium. The floor will be moved outdoors to form a plaza/terrace area open to the sky with the ring beam that encircled the auditorium and the columns holding it up. In addition to reusing the flooring, nearly 48 million pounds of materials were excavated from the site, most of which was recycled. More than 10 million pounds of Palmer concrete has become road base and other products. Nearly two million pounds of metal has been re-smelted for construction, and more than 34 million pounds of dirt removed from the site has been reused in other locations. A total of 97.6% of the materials removed from the site are being used in other ways, with only 1.1 million pounds of scraps sent to a landfill. The recycling efforts are paying off financially—the total construction cost of the Long Center is estimated to be $53 million dollars, a fraction of the cost of most new performance venues. Long Center officials estimate that the facility will be constructed at a cost of $278 per square foot versus the national average of more than $600 per foot for performing arts halls.
Numerous opera companies have completed new "opera centers" that include office, rehearsal and production facilities. The most recent such opera center was completed this past spring by the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. The Sally S. Levy Opera Center is in close proximity to Opera Theatre's renamed performance facility, the Loretto-Hilton Center on the campus of Webster University. "We are tremendously excited that these new venues and support facilities will add to the quality of creativity of opera in the decades ahead," Scorca commented.
OPERA America leads and serves the entire opera community, supporting the creation, presentation and enjoyment of opera.
Artistic services help opera companies and creative and performing artists to improve the quality of productions and increase the creation and presentation of North American works.
Information, technical, and administrative services to opera companies reflect the need for strengthened leadership among staff, trustees and volunteers.
Education, audience development and community services are designed to enhance all forms of opera appreciation.
Founded in 1970, OPERA America's worldwide membership network includes nearly 200 Company Members, 300 Associate and Business Members, 2,000 Individual Members and more than 16,000 subscribers to the association's electronic news service. In 2005, OPERA America relocated from Washington, D.C. to New York as the first step in creating the first-ever National Opera Center. With a wide range of artistic and administrative services in a purpose-built facility, the Opera Center is dedicated to increasing the level of excellence, creativity and effectiveness across the field.
OPERA America's long tradition of supporting and nurturing the creation and development of new works led to the formation of
The Opera Fund
, a growing endowment which allows OPERA America to make a direct impact on the ongoing creation and presentation of new opera and music-theater works. Since its inception, OPERA America has made grants of nearly $11 million to assist companies with the expenses associated with the creation and development of new works.

(Boston) — In a continuing five-year effort to improve safety and calm traffic along its 1.5 mile-long main campus straddling Commonwealth Avenue, Boston University today announced with the City of Boston a series of measures to further protect cyclists and pedestrians, encourage bike use, and promote awareness of cyclists and pedestrians among motor-vehicle drivers. They will include new signage, enhanced bike-lane markings, and highway reflectors in the pavement.
"I am hopeful that these changes will help protect bicyclists and pedestrians traveling along this very busy stretch ofCommonwealth Avenue," said Boston University President Dr. Robert A. Brown. "I also am extremely grateful for the city's continued support of bike-safety initiatives that safeguard all people who use the city streets that pass through our campus."
The new measures stem from recommendations by a BU and City of Boston working group convened at the urging of President Brown and Mayor Menino after a series of bicycle collisions, including the death of a BU student in December. Working in coordination with the city's Transportation Commissioner, Thomas J. Tinlin, and Director of Bicycle Programs, Nicole Freedman, BU helped propose safety measures that the City will implement as a pilot on the stretch of Commonwealth Avenue between Kenmore Square and Packard's Corner (Boston's first location for bike lanes), with the potential to expand to other areas of the city with high bicycle traffic and lanes. They include:
- Posting of advisory/cautionary signs – new signs designating the stretch as a "high bicycle and pedestrian activity zone"; 25 mph speed limit signs; "yield to bicycles when turning right" signs; and "share the road" signs.
- Installation of enhanced bike-lane pavement markings– each bike-lane intersection crossing to be painted using non-skid, high-visibility green paint and the width of bike-lane edge markings will increase from four to six inches. White Bike Sharrow pavement markings within the green paint area will be added at busy intersections. In areas that have long crossings multiple Sharrows will be installed.
- Installation of highway reflectors –highway reflectors on the pavement along the outside edge of bike lanes between intersections, and more closely spaced in advance of each intersection crossing.
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said, "The City of Boston has worked hard to ensure that cycling is a viable option for traveling on our local streets. In 2008, we installed the first four and a half miles of bicycle lanes, and today we offer more than 58 miles of on-street accommodations for cyclists. Wayfinding signs that guide cyclists to our more popular destinations have been posted, and in 2011 we launched Hubway that has provided 600,000 trips for those who rent the more than 600 curbside bicycles available through this program."
He continued, "As a result of these efforts, bicycle commuting ridership increased 82% in Boston from 2007 to 2011, and ensuring safety for all of these cyclists is a top priority in the City. For this reason, I am very pleased to be partnering with Boston University on this Commonwealth Avenue safety initiative. I expect that this program will result in keeping BU's cycling community safe on this busy roadway."
The university also will host an event when students return from spring break to showcase the new measures. That will continue the ongoing bike-safety education and awareness efforts under way since 2008 which have included skills classes, commuter workshops, bike and pedestrian safety days, on-campus posters, widespread distribution of safety tips, and giveaways of some 15,000 bike-safety related items including helmets, flashlights, bicycle lights, and reflectors.
"Cycling is a terrific transportation option for students inBoston," said Boston Transportation Department Commissioner Thomas J. Tinlin. "Like the MBTA, it is inexpensive and convenient, can get you anywhere that you need to go in the City, and doesn't require an on-street parking space. BTD consistently encourages students to leave their cars at home when they are heading to Boston for the academic year, and this new bicycle safety initiative is yet another incentive for students to follow this advice."
Founded in 1839,Boston University is an internationally recognized institution of higher education and research. With more than 33,000 students, it is the fourth-largest independent university in the United States. BU consists of 16 schools and colleges, along with a number of multi-disciplinary centers and institutes integral to the University's research and teaching mission. In 2012, BU joined the Association of American Universities (AAU), a consortium of 62 leading research universities in theUnited States and Canada.

Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to sign a law abolishing capital punishment in Maryland next week, though a referendum effort may be on the horizon.
O'Malley's spokesman Raquel Guillory confirmed Thursday that the death penalty repeal law is scheduled to be signed on May 2. Maryland will become the sixth state in as many years to abandon state executions.
Five men, all convicted of murders dating back to 1983, are on death row. O'Malley, who pushed for repeal, has said the men's fates will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Maryland has had a de facto moratorium on executions since a 2006 court ruling overturned details in the process for carrying them out. The last execution in Maryland occurred by lethal injection in 2005.
After hours of impassioned debate in the General Assembly earlier this year, lawmakers voted 109-76 for repeal. Seventeen other states have outlawed the death penalty, but Maryland is the first south of the Mason Dixon line to do so.
Repeal opponents have threatened to send the issue before voters. The group mdpetitions.com, which organized three ballot drives over the past two years, has submitted possible petition language to the Maryland Board of Elections for approval.
The group had also submitted language to petition a controversial new gun law, but later decided against mounting that effort. The group's founder, Republican Del. Neil Parrott of Western Maryland, has not announced whether mdpetitions.com will pursue any referendums.
Parrott said Thursday night that time is running short and the group will make a decision within the next week. To successfully put the issue on the November 2014 ballot, opponents must collect a total of 55,736 valid signatures by the end of June. More than 18,000 of them must be submitted to election officials by May 31.
A January poll by Annapolis-based OpinionWorks found showed Maryland voters closely divided on death penalty repeal with 42 percent supporting repeal and 48 percent opposing. Other polls found that a majority of voters consider life without parole as an acceptable alternative.
Latest Politics
Without the death penalty, life without parole would be the harshest sentence on Maryland's books.

OAKLAND (AP) — Sonny Gray spent the past few days with Oakland pitching coach Curt Young, making subtle adjustments to his delivery.
Gray won't reveal exactly what he and Young worked on. Suffice to say, the Athletics' young staff ace is pleased with the results.
Brandon Moss hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the fifth inning, and Gray bounced back from two sub-par outings to lead Oakland over the Texas Rangers 4-2 Wednesday, giving the Athletics (44-28) the best record in the majors.
"Overall it was a pretty good outing," said Gray, who had won just two of eight starts before going seven innings against Texas and striking out seven.
"I don't think there really is a difference other than I was able to make pitches," he said. "That's probably it. People sometimes forget that baseball is a pretty hard game and there's going to be some rough patches that you're going to go through."
Gray (7-3) bounced back nicely from his recent rough stretch. The right-hander needed only 31 pitches to get through the first three innings, then struck out Brad Snyder on a high 95 mph fastball to end the fourth with runners at second and third.
Gray also got help from left fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who made a leaping catch at the warning track to rob Adrian Beltre of extra bases two batters before Snyder struck out.
His lone mistake came in the fifth when Texas loaded the bases with two outs. Gray walked two and gave up an infield single before Shin-Soo Choo's two-run single made it 2-2.
"It's just balance for him," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He knows his delivery (and) his mechanics pretty well, and Curt's terrific at pointing out subtle things. There are a couple things he's been working on."
Cespedes and Josh Donaldson each had two hits for the A's. Oakland has won four of five and is a season-high 16 games over .500.
Their record is one game better than cross-bay rival San Francisco.
"Anytime in the season that you can say you have the best record in baseball, it's satisfying," Melvin said. "But there's a lot of baseball yet to be played. At least for the time being it feels good."
Luke Gregerson pitched the eighth, and Sean Doolittle worked the ninth for his ninth save.
Nick Tepesch (2-3) went five innings for Texas.
Choo drove in both runs for the Rangers.
"We have to get more than five innings out of our starting pitching and we have to have a shutdown inning after we score runs," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "Somehow that (Oakland) lineup is always functioning. Somebody is always having a good day."
Melvin shuffled his lineup and didn't start center fielder Coco Crisp and second baseman Eric Sogard.
Oakland's offense didn't miss a beat.
John Jaso replaced Crisp in the leadoff spot and knocked in the A's first run with a double in the third. Craig Gentry, who filled in at center field, added two hits and scored a run. Second baseman Alberto Callaspo also had two hits.
That was enough for Gray, who gave up two runs and six hits. He improved to 8-2 with a 1.90 ERA in 13 career starts against teams from within the A's division.
"He was keeping us off balance," said outfielder Alex Rios, who doubled off Gray in the fourth. "He managed his slider well. and his fastball had good velocity. He was locating it well."
Cespedes scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the inning. He singled off Tepesch and scored on Moss' double to right, barely beating the throw home with a headfirst slide.
After Donaldson singled Moss to third, Stephen Vogt hit a short sacrifice fly to left to put Oakland up 4-2.
Tepesch remained winless since May 26. He allowed nine hits over five innings with two walks and one strikeout.
NOTES: Doolittle hasn't allowed a run in 22 1/3 innings, the longest active streak in the AL. ... Crisp was given a normal day off. ... Sogard pinch-ran after Callaspo singled in the ninth. ... Rangers 3B Luis Sardinas singled in the third to extend his career-best hitting streak to seven games. ... Texas LHP Joe Saunders (0-2), who will pitch the opener against the Angels on Friday, has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four starts since coming off the DL. ... Oakland LHP Scott Kazmir (8-2), who opens the series against Boston on Thursday, has a 0.95 ERA over his previous four starts.
OAKLAND (AP) — Sonny Gray spent the past few days with Oakland pitching coach Curt Young, making subtle adjustments to his delivery.

Algeria Hostage Crisis Over, 1 American Dead, Fate of 2 More Uncertain
More loss of life as Algerian military retakes gas facility from terrorists.
Jan. 19, 2013 -- After the Algerian military's final assault on terrorists holding hostages at a gas complex, the four-day hostage crisis is over, but apparently with additional loss of life among the foreign hostages.
One American, Fred Buttaccio of Texas, has been confirmed dead by the U.S. State Department. Two more U.S. hostages remain unaccounted for, with growing concern among U.S. officials that they did not survive.
But another American, Mark Cobb of Corpus Christi, Texas is now confirmed as safe. Sources close to his family say Cobb, who is a senior manager of the facility, is safe and reportedly sent a text message " I'm alive."
In a statement, President Obama said, "Today, the thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria. The blame for this tragedy rests with the terrorists who carried it out, and the United States condemns their actions in the strongest possible terms. ... This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by al Qaeda and other violent extremist groups in North Africa."
According to Algerian state media, 32 militants are dead and a total of 23 hostages perished during the four-day siege of the In Amenas facility in the Sahara. The Algerian Interior Ministry also says 107 foreign nationals who worked at the facility for BP and other firms were rescued or escaped from the al Qaeda-linked terrorists who took over the BP joint venture facility on Wednesday.
The Japanese government says it fears "very grave" news, with multiple casualties among the 10 Japanese citizens working at the In Amenas gas plant.
Five British nationals and one U.K. resident are either deceased or unaccounted for in the country, according to British Foreign Minister William Hague. Hague also said that the Algerians have reported that they are still trying to clear boobytraps from the site.
In a statement Saturday, BP said that of 18 BP employees working at the plant in the Sahara, 14 are now safe, two with non-life-threatening injuries.
"We have great fears we have likely suffered one or more fatalities," said BP CEO Bob Dudley. For the victims' families, said Dudley, "this is a terrible and agonizing ordeal."
The status of four employees, however, remains unknown. The facility is a joint venture with the Norwegian company Statoil and the Algerian national oil company
The al Qaeda-linked group claims the attack on the facility in the middle of the Sahara desert had been planned for some two months.
In both assaults, the Algerian Army, using tanks and helicopters, found the terrorists were heavily armed and prepared to fight to the death.
One official described the aftermath as carnage.
Hostages who escaped or were freed said the terrorists only wanted Westerners or Americans, and were brutal in their treatment of some of them.
A Scottish worker named Ian said he had "never been so relieved as when they came and got us off site."
Ian said he was "very, very relieved to be out. Obviously, we still don't know what's happening back on site. As much as we're glad to be out, our thoughts are with colleagues still there at the moment."
Another worker, Stephen McFaul of Ireland, said he escaped as the terrorists tried to drive them to another location and the Algerian army opened fire on the convoy.
American officials had urged the Algerians to go slow, out of concern for the safety of the hostages, but that advice was ignored.
"They didn't let the terrorists dig in," said Richard Clarke, a former White House counterterror advisor and now an ABC News consultant. "They didn't negotiate. They moved quickly."
The attack has led the U.S. and its allies to marshal resources to track down the alleged mastermind, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who operates from a safe haven in the northern part of the country of Mali, a thousand miles away.
French military aircraft were already taking action against Belmokhtar even before the Algerian attack, according to ABC News correspondent Bazi Kanani, who is in Mali's capital, Bamako.
In southern Mali, according to Kanani, "there's limited information coming down from the north where journalists aren't allowed to go, but we do know one of the first targets of the French war planes that arrived one week ago was the headquarters of the leader of the terror group involved in the Algerian hostage crisis. "
U.S. officials say they won't send troops to Mali, but they are sharing intelligence with France, and by Monday, the U.S. Air Force will be helping to fly French troops and equipment here.
U.S. officials say they will work with the French and others to make sure Belmokhtar pays a price.
"Those who would wantonly attack our country and our people will have no place to hide," said Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.
