In Brief: U.S. inspectors shutter California slaughterhouse
Federal inspectors shut down a central California slaughterhouse that supplies beef to the National School Lunch Program because of unsanitary conditions.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said in a statement that the conditions prompted it to withdraw inspectors and suspend operations at Central Valley Meat Co. in Hanford, about 30 miles south of Fresno.
"The plant's suspension will be lifted once we receive adequate assurances of corrective action," the agency said.
Last September, Central Valley recalled 58,000 pounds of beef for the school lunch program after federal officials said the meat possibly contained pieces of plastic. There was no recall in Tuesday's announcement.
Pope talks poverty, eyes finance overhaul
Pope Francis penned a new missive on the injustices of poverty Wednesday amid indications he is eyeing a major overhaul of the Vatican's financial house by creating a finance ministry to better serve the church.
Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, a key adviser in Francis' Group of Eight cardinal cabinet, told the French Catholic newspaper La Croix that creating a "finance secretariat" was needed to better organize the diverse financial departments.
Czech brewer gets Budweiser trademark
The Czech brewery Budvar says a Portuguese trade court has ruled that it will have the exclusive rights to the Budweiser trademark in the country, canceling the rights owned by rival Anheuser-Busch InBev.
State-owned Budejovicky Budvar NP has been fighting with Anheuser-Busch for more than a century over use of the Budweiser name.

Quick GuideBrain Foods: Healthy Food for Kids' Brains
What are tips for parents caring for a young child 6-8 years of age?
As a reflection of the asynchronous development of motor skills, some 6- to 8-year-old children gradually discover their athletic skills are not keeping up with their peers. The natural competitive nature of this age group and their awakening sense of imperfection and vulnerability are underscored on the athletic field. While many sport leagues attempt to limit this natural competitive instinct by avoiding keeping score or awarding trophies/medals to all players, many children are frustrated by these adult ploys to "make everyone a winner." Better for parents to recognize that their child may not be the best on the team. To the child, this may not seem fair. Emphasizing the purpose of participation in sports is for enjoyment will help a child establish a healthier attitude and provide an escape valve for such frustration.
Similar to the sports field, the family home may become a battleground among siblings trying to establish a pecking order. Parents often feel they are living in the midst of the biblical story of Cain and Abel. For most disputes, parents are most effective by establishing a policy of benign neglect unless significant physical or emotional harm is imminent. One successful strategy is to enforce a policy of loss of privilege/activity/computer-TV time for all combatants (regardless of "who started it" or "who's at fault") unless the involved children can successfully resolve the dilemma by themselves. While this may seem to be impossible at home, teachers often point out peer resolution of problems being successfully handled on a daily basis during school recess and lunch breaks.
By the third grade, many students loudly complain that "school isn't fun." Such a reaction is inherent in the more competitive atmosphere in the classroom where (by definition) everyone isn't always a winner. Commonly, academic evaluation changes from the more abstract (stars, colors, etc.) to traditional (A, B, C, etc.). As a reaction to this perceived unfair inequity, children of this age range start enjoying social bonding groups -- scouting, clubs, teams, and cliques. These groupings are commonly single gender since both boys and girls consider the opposite gender "yucky."
Perhaps one of the most frustrating parental experiences is the child's gradual realization that his parents aren't salient and omnipotent but rather human with their own foibles. The parental fall from Mt. Olympus must be counterbalanced by the continuous efforts of parents to be appropriate role models. Such efforts provide to their children successful strategies and coping mechanisms for the inherent frustrations of this age range. The transition from "doing it because I told you to" to "you should do it because you know it is the correct thing to do" is started during this time period.

Blackwood Golf Academy - Douglassville, PA - Phone: (610) 385-6922
Golf practice ranges in Douglassville are the areas where golfers can practice their swing. There is also provision for recreational activity for amateur golfers. Golf practice ranges also have a driving range attached and they are also found as stand-alone facilities, especially in urban areas in Douglassville. They are typically run by businesses or sometimes by universities. Distances are usually marked by target greens at regular distances. Driving ranges may have natural grass, similar to a golf course, or players may have to use synthetic mats that resemble real turf.

Suspended license convictions pile up for Brandon manNovember 20,201312 days labor for
unlicensed driver
A Brandon man who pleaded guilty to three counts of driving without a license this week was ordered Monday to serve 12 days on the Department of Corrections work crew.
Joshua P. Lester, 21, who has been convicted of driving with his license suspended five times since March 2010, added three more convictions to that total Monday when he pleaded guilty to new misdemeanor DLS counts brought against him in August and October.
Lester also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating court-ordered conditions of release.
In exchange for his guilty plea, state prosecutors dropped three other DLS charges brought against Lester this year along with another charge of violating his conditions of release.
Starting with two DLS charges brought in February, police in Brandon and Rutland brought the same charge against him twice in August and two more times in October.
According to Rutland Police, Lesters motor vehicle license was suspended indefinitely in 2009.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Editorial: Tribute to Late Dr. John Conteh-Morgan
Nkiru Nzegwu
This Issue 17 of West Africa Review (WAR) is dedicated to our late friend, colleague, and brother, Professor John-Conteh Morgan, a founding Editorial Board member of this journal. While it is important to mourn his departure, it is equally important to celebrate his life and wealth of accomplishment in a citadel of knowledge production, known for rarely remembering, or fully appreciating the labor and work ethics of migrants that the citadel's ideology devalues. Today, is not a day of battle with the citadel. Rather, it is a day of celebration and appreciation of one who plied his trade in the pastures of knowledge, striving for global understanding through teaching, learning, and caring.
Historicizing Nigeria's Crisis of Existential Legitimacy
Moses Ochonu
This article undertakes a historical exploration of Nigeria's familiar failure to evolve a national spirit that commands the allegiance of its disparate, multiple ethno-national constituencies. Critically reading Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" thesis, it demonstrates how Nigerian anti-colonial nationalism failed to forge a sense of national cohesion, saddling a postcolonial Nigerian state with an existential crisis that continues to undermine the country to produce crisis, mediocrity, corruption, and separatist agitations. It argues that while anti-colonial nationalist activities started and progressed through the networks created by colonialism, these activities, when narrowed down and assessed on the basis of their concern with creating a sense of a single Nigerian nationality, fail to measure up to the theory of elaborated in Imagined Communities. Finally, the article offers a polemical reflection on how Nigeria can forge a new national consciousness founded on renegotiation and "the logic of functional legitimacy."
In Pursuit of the "Golden Fleece": African Students and Higher Education in the United States, 1925-1959
Olanipekun Oladotun Laosebikan
This article addresses the historical contributions of African students to higher education in the United States from 1925-1959. During this period, African students in the United States actively pursued, what Nnamdi Azikiwe, the great African nationalist and former student himself termed, the "golden fleece." It represented the promise of American higher education as a panacea to African ills, particularly colonialism. The tendency has been to view African studentship in the United States during this period as a one-sided relationship, with African students as the primary benefactors of this relationship. As illustrated in this study, such a perspective ignores the significant contributions of African students to shaping higher education in the United States. I utilize the narratives of prominent African students, such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Kwame Nkrumah and Kingsley Ozuomba Mbadiwe among others, to highlight two key areas of African student contributions to higher education in the United States; scholarship and activism.
Les Relations Entre le Temporel et le Spirituel au Nord-Cameroun: La Problématique de la Sécurité du Clergé Catholique, 1946 ŕ 1994
Gabriel Deussom Noubissie
L'assassinat de Monseigneur Yves Plumey est un évčnement sans précédent dans l'histoire du Cameroun qui soulčve, au-delŕ de son caractčre tragique, la question relative ŕ la sécurité du clergé catholique dans ce pays particuličrement dans sa partie Nord. Cet article retrace la chronologie des rapports heurtés entre les pouvoirs temporel et spirituel avant et aprčs l'čre coloniale au Cameroun. Les différentes administrations qui se sont succédées au Cameroun ont chacune abordé la question de la sécurité du clergé catholique sous plusieurs angles. Cependant, cela s'est toujours fait d'une maničre informelle. Aucun texte législatif n'a abordé et régi les aspects de la sécurité du clergé. Au contraire, de la colonisation ŕ nos jours la sécurité du personnel ecclésiastique a toujours été tributaire des caprices du régime politique en place.
Relationship Between Temporal and Spiritual Power in Northern Cameroon: The Problem of Catholic Clergy's Security, 1946 to 1994
The assassination of Bishop Yves Plumey was an unprecedented event that raised the issue of the security of the Catholic clergy in northern Cameroon. The article traces the historical basis of this problem through successive political regimes from the colonial period to the postindependent era. Although the security issue existed during different political periods, it never became a matter of legislation. Consequently, the safety of church personnel depended on the goodwill of the government.
Memories of Exile and Negotiations of New Spaces in Segun Afolabi's A Life Elsewhere
Ayobami Kehinde
Studies on African migrant fiction are mostly fixated on two phenomena: refugees and the clandestine flows of migrants the diaspora. This article focuses on a critically neglected Nigerian migrant writer, Segun Afolabi, whose collection of stories, A Life Elsewhere, foregrounds complex emotion and meaning. Afolabi's stories are marked by a profound sense of hybridity, very much in the migrant tradition. They dwell on issues of displacement, migrancy and diaspora; they explore the internal lives of migrants, the painful negotiation of relationships, and the navigation of life's uncertainties. Carefully crafted, the range of stories is impressive, convincingly set in Africa, North America, Europe, Asia and the Far East, they address topical issues of exile.
Book Review: Osagie, Iyunolu, ed. Theater in Sierra Leone: Five Popular Plays
Theresah P. Ennin
Iyunolu Osagie's collection features five Sierra Leonean dramatists, including the renowned Raymond Caleb Ayodele-Charley, John Kolosa Kargbo and Tonie French. The plays address a number of issues from colonial arrogance, corruption and exploitation; betrayal; patriotism and resistance; to oppression; tradition versus change and the condition of the African woman.The dramatists for the collection are of the same generation, with a few years separating them; consequently, some common themes run through their works. The significance of the collection lies in its capacity to expand our knowledge of theatre in Sierra Leone in particular and West Africa in general.

The Internet is hurting 'Real Hip Hop'
Is there such a thing as real hip hop? I mean, hip hop has been mutating throughout its nearly 40 year run into what it is today. As someone who has watched these changes from the beginning I can assure you-yes, there is such a thing as real hip hop.
Not every type of music gets a title during the height of its cultural enlightenment. Hip hop's came in the 90's with the label of the "Golden Era." The Golden Era was a time in the late 80's-early 90's that firstly solidified that hip hop was not a fad as many thought. Secondly, it proved to be a viable source of income for artists as well as corporate entities. Finally, the Golden Era brought a defined sound to hip hop. Every coast had a discernable sound. An artist could flourish without a "hit" record. Unlike today, they were handing out record deals like hotcakes to anyone with talent. If you had a niche, you had a deal. An artist didn't have to be tough or hood. They could just be. If you liked sampled music with a grimey flow on top you could easily find something from the East coast. If you wanted to know about gang life with some funk behind it you went to the West. Later the South would find it's voice too. There was an equation to the sound of the golden era and everyone (mostly) was happy. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Rambling Cosby show delivers small rewards
A personal preface seems necessary before the review gets on to expressing profound disappointment with Bill Cosby's appearance at the Riverside Theater on Saturday night.
When this critic was a child, he got his first exposure to stand-up comedy through his aunt's collection of the classic records Cosby released throughout the 1960s. Later encounters with varied works - from the animated show "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" to many seasons of "The Cosby Show" - only strengthened a belief that Cosby inhaled experience and exhaled humor. »Read Full Article(5)

Preparedness is Always Something to Take Seriously
A buddy and me have been preppers for many years. We like the idea of not needing to rely on others if there is any sort of catastrophe that occurs that leaves the average person hungry, thirsty and in need of electricity for so many reasons. We both have enough knowledge that we decided to start selling shelf stable food to sell to other preppers. We knew that would need vacuum packaging equipment and other things to make the business work. We decided to put our knowledge together to get our business started.
After a weather catastrophe, many people find themselves in the position of not having enough food or water stored away. In some cases, they do have food, but it's not sealed so that water or insects can't get into it. Just a couple of years ago, there was a large hurricane that hit New Jersey. Many people do not realize that many citizens did not prepare. They simply did not take the warnings seriously. A month after the hurricane hit, many people found that they were still without electricity. Many people no longer had a car because it floated away, and they were unable to get to nearby cities to buy things to eat.
The people that my friend and I hang out with are very into prepping. And each of us lives in that area of New Jersey that I spoke of. Each of us had homes that were damaged in the storm. And we both had plenty of food and water afterward. While other people were scrambling to find a gas station or could not drive anywhere due to no car, we simply pulled out our generators and cooked up some of the vacuum packaged food that we both have. We even had water stored, too. We are in the process of buying all the equipment we need so that we can sell our food products online to other smart people who want to be ready for anything.

Today's Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway could provide an answer.
Today's race (3 p.m., ET, Fox-Ch. 54) is the third race for the traditional spoiler across the trunk deck, but it's the first for a track where speeds approach 200 mph. With so much effort being made to improve side-by-side racing, there is a lot riding on it.
"I think no matter what happens here, there's going to be a verdict on the spoiler," Jeff Burton said. "... I think that no matter what happens from here, if we have a great race, if we have a poor race, there's going to be a determination that the spoiler was really good or the spoiler was really bad."
The spoiler returned in March at Martinsville Speedway, the slowest track on the Sprint Cup Series schedule. Last week's race at Phoenix International Raceway was a flat, one-mile oval where the spoiler had little consequence.
At 1.5 miles, Texas is different. Cars in today's race will need all the traction a rear spoiler can provide, especially in turbulent air created by traffic. If cars are unstable in traffic -- something that was common with the rear wing -- then long runs of follow-the-leader racing will continue.
"I think the biggest challenge is going to be in traffic and seeing how this car with the spoiler reacts in traffic," Jeff Gordon said. "This, to me, is the biggest test of them all."
Rain washed out both practice sessions on Saturday.

It has been said time and again that Israel is today facing the greatest crisis in years. It has also been noted that a key factor that makes Israel's situation less desperate than it might be is the fact that the United States, the world's superpower, stands up -- many times alone -- on behalf of an embattled Israel.
These realities should make American Jews highly appreciative of the incredible support that the State of Israel gets from a significant group of Americans -- the Evangelical Christian Right. In many ways, the Christian Right stands out as the most consistently supportive group of Israel in America.
In the Congress, support for Israel is strong on both sides of the aisle, among liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. Most importantly, the issue has not been seen as one reflecting the views of a parochial lobbying group provoking significant support but also significant opposition. Rather, it is seen as above partisan politics.
Having said that, there is no doubt that Evangelical members are notably aggressive in their support, proposing resolutions and speaking out forcefully. This is especially noteworthy during the current Administration, as they are conveying their sentiments to a President who shares many of their religious and social perspectives.
Similarly, polls of American public opinion reveal, in marked contrast to similar polls in Europe, that the American people support Israel over the Palestinians by a significant margin. A key element in these consistent findings in many polls ever since the violence broke out almost 2 years ago -- is the overwhelming support for Israel among individuals calling themselves Evangelical.
On many public occasions, including at rallies and meetings, on TV and radio appearances, Evangelicals have become regulars, a pro-Israel presence alongside the Jewish community. While such support is evident from other significant parts of the body politic, support from Evangelicals is especially consistent and unreserved.
Still, there continues to be a reluctance in certain sections of the American Jewish community to welcome or encourage Evangelical support. Several factors come into play. Many mainstream American Jewish organizations have major disagreements with Evangelicals on many domestic issues -- Church - State separation, abortion, and attitudes towards gays.
ADL and other Jewish organizations have made clear in its dealings with Evangelicals that we will continue to be forceful advocates for our very different perspective on these issues before the American people, despite Evangelical support for Israel. Importantly, at no point have we heard them place any conditions on their support. There is no quid pro quo. At no point have we had to choose between our fundamental principals concerning the role of religion in America and our appreciation for their standing with Israel.
Some say that Evangelicals are behind Israel for the wrong reasons: they see Israel's existence as a necessary precursor for Armageddon and the second coming of Christ, visions which do not include a place for Jews. These religious beliefs, however, speak to an unknown future (indeed one that Jews do not envision). Meanwhile, the very real present is one in which Evangelical leaders are educating their publics about the importance of Israel's existence, security and well-being, that no amount of public relations and advertising budgets could buy.
Finally, it is said that Evangelicals have a high degree of anti-Semitism in their communities. There is no doubt that there is a history of anti-Semitism among Evangelicals, based on an old theology that Jews deserve punishment because they rejected Jesus. Today, that perspective has been superceded by the new special role of the Jews in the modern State of Israel. Indeed, Evangelical leaders such as Ralph Reed have apologized for anti-Semitism in the past and have eloquently spoken to their communities about rejecting any element of anti-Semitism.
ADL polls on anti-Semitism in America show no greater inclination of Evangelical Christians to harbor hateful views of Jews than other groups in American society. As to the one area of legitimate concern -- efforts to proselytize Jews that continues among some Evangelical ministers -- ADL and others have vigorously denounced such efforts whenever they surface.
In sum, American Jews should not be apologetic or defensive about cultivating Evangelical support for Israel. The need for support by an Israel under siege is great. Fortunately, Evangelical support is overwhelming, consistent, and unconditional. And the fears that such support will undermine our impact on other concerns that American Jews have are overblown, since we will continue, to articulate in forceful ways our significant disagreements on social issues.

Rarity's Answers!
Being able to accelerate the body's healing on anyone and myself. ;o Like, instantly. Would put science to shame~
Vampires. Grew up watching "Interview with the Vampire" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Some werewolf movies bore me. ._.
It was around the beginning of August, I had a really bad day that turned into a bad week. What started it was basically my store getting robbed and had to deal with more rude customers on that day. Came home and saw a mouse scurrying around my kitchen. Given that I never had a situation where I had this before on top of it, I ended up crying that evening. I'm sorry, I just really don't like mice. X_x
We could be if you like~ :3
I recall to the week of Astro's birth. A bunch of guildmates and I were running around in Paradise (and ended up migrating to Blooming Cora) trying to recruit and we did this via blue penguin disguises. Bacon is, at least to most people myself included, part of an epitome of food porn and I've always noticed how round the bottom of the blue penguin is. Jokingly, I said in All chat, "Join Astro! Look at my butt! You can probably peel bacon off of it!!" The rest is history.
Being realistic, probably money. A LOT of it.
Nothing! I'd get my ass up and over with. I can always go back to bed when I get home from work if I really need to.
Seriously, getting the hell out of this hick state and move somewhere north. The frivolous part would be buying a house and furnish it.
Oh no, I am terribly fearful of heights. x-x;
"One night when I was out clubbing with my manself, I suddenly decided to get smashed. My manself got thrown into a dumpster and I had to haul his ass out of there before a cop sees me thinking I'm either trying to stuff a dead body into the dumpster or I'm an identity thief."
The fox struggled a bit getting over the dog, but the dog noticed nothing. 8D
"D'AWWWWWW WHAT A CUTIE OMG MOM CAN WE KEEP-- aw it ran away."
Orange! In most cases, it tends to have more depth and looking nicer then yellow.
Both. ;o Knowing my fingers and toes, the fingers are the smarter ones and the toe ones are the comic relief ones.
Carnations, I also like cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, chrysanthemums and tulips. Too bad I'm lazy when it comes to gardening.
Good question! Even tho' I haven't played a lot, I'd say Rusty Hearts. The setting of the game was one of the lesser reasons why I ended up trying the game out and loving it~
Tough question! A toss up between Lady Gaga and Kerli.
Pot roast!
How I still managed to have a job after four years, how I managed to help run a guild that became successful in it's own and learning to just not take life too seriously.
I'd say the Astro Blitz guild section in Trickster's guild section, but that'd be biased. Honestly, I would say the music section and the Life/Relationship section. I love discovering new songs and artists and I always got something to say in a certain thread. ;o
A lot of things. Who, what, where, when, why actually.
I remember before going to preschool, that my folks were concerned about my "inability" to talk. Somehow they wondered if my hearing has anything to do with it. I remember going into a clinic and being placed in this dark room. My mom and doctors were watching me from a window. Then in the upper right corner, there was a light shown on a bear playing a snare and I looked at it. Then the room was black again. Then the light flickered on the upper left corner, like a light switch flickering on and off. Rinse, repeat. All the time I was like, "the hell is going on", but didn't say anything. Obviously, I was responsive to the sounds and still wouldn't talk, if not very much. That changed slowly as I grew up.
Spiders... I actually dislike them as well. A big one can probably ruin my day too.

Lake Erie Moment: North East Train Museum readies for new equipment, big festival
Driving railroad spikes can be painstaking when you're not in your prime. It's worse when you're not getting paid. But for Lake Shore Railway Historical Society President Ray Grabow-ski Jr., the backbreaking effort is fueled by his passion for trains.
Grabowski and a host of volunteers are laying new tracks at the LSRHS' home in the former North East train depot to make room for a 1989 General Electric B32-8 locomotive, donated by Norfolk Southern Railway Corp. and built by GE Transportation in nearby Lawrence Park Township.
Grabowski hopes to complete the track project before the historical society's "Night at the Museum" promotion, an overnight event beginning June 15 at noon and concluding June 16 at 4 p.m. It's one of the LSRHS' biggest events of the year.
They'll have attractions, including a working telegraph center where guests can transmit messages via Morse code. Attendees can also try their luck at driving an old pump rail car, powered by its passengers.
"The whole area will be lined with chairs like it was a parade," Grabowski said.
For information, call 725-1911.

Palestinians Dismiss Prisoner Release as a 'Bribe'
Originally published at Gatestone Institute.
The argument that the release of Palestinian prisoners boosts the standing of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and "moderate" Palestinians and facilitates the resumption of peace talks with Israel is not necessarily true.
Many Palestinians do not see Israel's decision to release more than 100 Palestinians who were imprisoned before the signing of the Oslo Accords two decades ago as a gesture on the part of Israel.
Rather, they regard the Israeli move as something that Israel was supposed to have done anyway, many years ago.
As Saeb Erekat, the chief PLO negotiator, explained: "This Israeli cabinet decision is an overdue step towards the implementation of the Sharm Sheikh agreement of 1999, whereby Israel committed to release all the pre-Oslo prisoners. We welcome this decision 14 years later."
So unlike the US and other Western governments, the Palestinian Authority does not see the release of prisoners as a conciliatory move on the part of the Israeli government.
Moreover, Palestinian Authority representatives do not believe there is a link between the release of prisoners and progress toward achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Many of the prisoners who are scheduled to be released do not even belong to Abbas's Fatah faction.
It is unrealistic to think, for example, that members of Islamic Jihad or the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who killed Israelis are going to come out of prison and declare their support for the Oslo Accords and the two-state solution.
There is also no guarantee that Fatah prisoners who were incarcerated before the signing of the Oslo Accords will endorse the peace process.
Of course Abbas and Fatah will do their utmost to take advantage of the prisoner release to try and score points on the Palestinian street.
Abbas's aides and loyalists are busy these days preparing a big rally in Ramallah to celebrate the release of the prisoners.
They are keen on presenting the prisoner release as a "huge achievement" by Abbas.
But even if a large number of Palestinians turn out to greet the prisoners, this still does not mean that they support Abbas's decision to resume peace talks with Israel.
Some Palestinians, including Abbas loyalists, see the release of a few dozen prisoners as a "bribe" offered by US Secretary of State John Kerry to the Palestinian Authority president to entice him to return to the talks.
These Palestinians point out that in return for this "bribe," Abbas was forced to drop his two other preconditions for resuming the peace talks: a full cessation of settlement construction and Israeli acceptance of the pre-1967 lines as the basis for a two-state solution.
There are also Palestinians who see the release of about 100 prisoners as a "minor" achievement for Abbas, especially in comparison to Hamas's success in securing the release of more than 1000 inmates in return for kidnapped Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Schalit.
"Israel is not doing anyone a favor by releasing 100 prisoners," said a Fatah official in Ramallah. "While we welcome this decision, we do not see how it could help the peace process, particularly in light of the fact that there are more than 5,000 Palestinians who are still in prison."
So while most Palestinians are expected to rejoice over the release of the prisoners, it is naïve to think that they will take to the streets to celebrate the resumption of peace talks with Israel.
The prisoner release could benefit Abbas in the short-term. But in the long-term, many Palestinians will continue to see it as part of an Israeli-American scheme to extract concessions from Abbas and the Palestinian Authority leadership.
After the celebrations over the release of the prisoners end, Palestinians will continue to criticize Abbas for "succumbing" to US pressure and going to the peace talks against the recommendation of the PLO leadership. And of course they will continue to attack Israel for not fulfilling all their demands, including a settlement freeze and the release of the rest of the prisoners.Khaled Abu Toameh

Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

Co-op Mortal Kombat game canned
Series creator Ed Boon has revealed a previously cancelled game in the franchise that featured cooperative action starring two of the series's most prominent characters.
Entitled Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice, the game was canned early in the development process Boon tells GameInformer.
"[Developer Paradox] actually started the early stages of that game, but they couldnt do it in time and under budget, so the project was cancelled and kind of went away," says Boon. The game was to focus on Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and offer action gameplay in the vein of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
Of course, the franchise is far from dead with Warner Bros. having picked up the rights and announcing a new game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 simply titled Mortal Kombat.

This cash or check only little campground is within walking distance of the York Beaches. We stopped in just for the night. There were lots of empty sites, but we heard the owners tell folks over the phone to call back the next day to see if sites were available. I got the impression that they were more interested in longer stays (a week), and took short stays on the day of. The sites were close together with good utilities. Seemed a bit overpriced though for what we got. We were near the office and wifi worked well. The York Beaches are full of beach town shops and activities. The beaches are lovely and unusually large for Maine. - ShoreXplorers

Funky campground with lots of seasonals but with full hookups and plenty of space for big rigs. Heavily forested. Some smaller sites have lots of isolation in the loop at the rear. Couldn't use satellite dish. Short walks to mom & pop eatery, lavish lobster restaurant, harbor with dramatic tide changes, and to tourist area. Don't miss the clam chowder at the Union Bluff Hotel. - Mtmoi

We stayed here for two nights on arrival into Maine. Our very woodsy site was situated on a road going down a hill and needed leveling. Campground had a rustic feel to it; restrooms had separate toilet and shower areas and had no indoor sinks. Good Wi-Fi and strong antenna signal for TV. Not far from Mount Agamenticus, worth a drive for the view. Close to Flo's famous hot dogs. - NC Writer

It is very close to the beach. These are new owners.
The resort is a half block from the ocean. There are mostly permanent residents here. It's very quiet. No laundry or restrooms at this location. There was an extra $10 charge for our dog. Dogs can go on the beach after 6 p.m. But must be on leash, although we saw many who were not - skidiver

What a beautiful campground! The place is immaculate and very well cared for. The restrooms are the nicest I have ever seen. We were escorted to our site by a young man who said "Welcome Home" once we parked. It truly felt like home. The seasonal campers were the friendliest group that we have even met and they all made us feel at home. We had no problem with our 32' motorhome on our site even though they are close together. Wi-Fi was spotty, but no major inconvenience. The sites are lawn! What a nice feeling stepping out of our rig onto plush grass. Our site was in the second row, but we had a view of the ocean. The trolley stop at the campground was very handy. The campgrounds' location is perfect for a beach vacation. We cannot wait to return and extend our stay for next year. - Mike and Rose

We made reservations at this park while on the road, unfamiliar with it but needing a one night stay on our way to Bar Harbor. At first, the congestion was a bit intimidating; there were mostly trailers everywhere, we couldn't tell . This park has quite a long history, and the sites were configured back when rigs were much, much smaller. The coveted ocean-front sites provide amazing views but with very little elbow room. We asked for a pull through and had no trouble making the turn to pull straight in, with minimal leveling. The owners are delightful people, and the area has quite a bit to offer. We would definitely return (after Labor Day) and try to get an ocean-front site and spend some quality time here. - Cockapoo Lovers

Oceanside is a great definition. Though only the first row is actually Oceanside, the rest have the smells and sounds only. Those sites fill up fast, like March reservations, and many looked to be seasonal. If looking a beautiful seasonal site, waterfront at Libby's for the summer is a must. For the rest of the sites, it is field camping sloping dirt/grass sites and pretty tight. The location is great, right at the start of Long Sands Beach in York ME. Lots to do, walking, biking, sightseeing and shopping. Portsmouth NH is only 15 minutes away, though with Rt 1 bridge closed it is a bit longer on congested roads. - RIchardBursch

Very convenient to beach and activities in the Wells area. Park was clean, but roads are dirt for the most part and very narrow with low limbs. The layout of the sites are different as they are pull through but not as you would think, you pull over to the side of the road and sort of parallel park. There is a fence you need to pull around that have the pedestal and hookups on and your RV door faces the woods, not the road. This is easy and keeps your door away from the road, however your door faces the RV on the adjacent road which is about 40 feet away with trees between you, this takes away from your privacy. Over all I would go back and recommend to others. - jjr9000

Good stop over but the trailer sites are secondary to selling cabins so are not easy to get in but all right once in the site. Good hook-ups. It is a campground that nickel and dime you with cable and wifi...so they keep their rates low but get you on other charges. So your rate can go to $30.00 easy. Other than that a nice place. - morgan10

We joined Thousand Trails this year only because it gave us the best rate for a particular campground which was necessary for family illness reasons but we will not renew. The Outdoor World "Resorts" that we have tried are way overpriced (if you are not a TT member) for the amenities. Tack on a resort fee and fees for everything else while you're there and it is simply ridiculous. We had a 50 amp site which had side by side hookups and I've never felt so claustrophobic at any campground until we stayed here. On top of that the person on the other side of us who was a "seasonal" occupied almost 10 feet of our site with his/her equipment and toys, enough that I had to complain to the park management. Seasonals are everywhere and many have spread their belongings throughout their sites and beyond so management must turn the other way. Most sites that we saw were not completely level. The 30 amp sites seem to offer more room than the 50 amp. We had 10 over the air TV channels and our MiFi card worked fine here. There is some traffic noise from I-95 in the back where the 50 amp sites are. We would definitely not return. - Bob & Stephanie

We stayed here for a few nights while visiting family in the area. It was a nice wooded area with tall trees and friendly staff. Most of the sites were filled with seasonal campers. There was lots of clutter everywhere. some sites were occupied by mobile homes on blocks. The empty sites had piles of concrete blocks. We were there early in the season. I talked with one seasonal resident and he said that 98% of the spots will be filled with seasonal residents by June. - Powerstroke

We camped here 1 weekend night in early Sept and it was quite adequate. Very conveniently located to beach/restaurants. Site itself was roomy enough for rig + tow car, but we got lucky and had one of the sites near the office so did not have to navigate narrow streets. Cable and internet both for a fee, but AT&T coverage good and several local channels came in. - Bay Area Early retirees

This is a good value park with Passport America. It is gated community with large lots located in the trees that are showing lovely color this time of year. The people in the office are really friendly and helpful. This is a good place to drop your rig and travel to Kennebunkport and other villages along the coast. There are lots of opportunities to walk on the beach when you are here. Mike's Clam Shack has outstanding lobster rolls. We will recommend this resort to our friends and will stay here again. - rolling homeless

We stayed here twice this year (summer 2016) and really like this place! Location is fantastic and very convenient to everything. We have small kids and there was a playground right near our site, which they enjoyed. We also played mini golf which is also right there. Plenty of options nearby for good eats if you like to dine out. Lots to do and see in the area and the beach is close by too.

Stayed here on our way up to Bar Harbor and then our return south. Nice campground that is great for overnight stops. Going up and back, we had a full shade FHU level site both times. All facilities were clean and worked properly. CG staff very helpful and friendly. No escort to site. Verizon and ATT, both voice and data get overloaded this time of year. Campground WiFi worked fine. They has an unusual login process, so if you're not real good with computers, you'll have to have them help you. Lots of Canadians this time of year. - moderate camper

This is a very busy campground. Lots of in and out daily. Lots of vacationers, families, and kids. Location, location, location! Spendy!It is a one mile walk to Wells Beach. The Trolley stops at the front entrance. You can take the Trolley, with transfers, from Kennebunkport to Ogunquit and all areas in between. We took the Trolley to the beaches several times. WiFi worked well, but my Verizon signal was very weak throughout the area. Staff were efficient; I encountered nobody with an attitude. Most spaces are really close, unless you get a back-in along the right side of the campground. Maneuvers in a big rig can be a challenge. We were here for 17 nights and enjoyed our stay. - Arizona Nancy

I absolutely love this park. The spaces are huge. And the park is so open; lots of sunshine. There are very tall oak trees and scattered blue spruce. Lots of grass and paved roads.

One of three campgrounds in the Wells area with similar names, Sea Vu, Sea Vu South and Sea Vu West. West is listed as an RV Resort. It is located a short distance away from the Route 1 craziness with easy access from I-95. It's a "resort" because every site is a 42' x 72' back in, so it's very manageable for big rigs. Half the park is permanent, well maintained camp homes. The transient side is open with a few trees and lots of space between campsites. Even mid week in August, it wasn't real crowded. Paved interior roads. Nothing fancy. No landscaping but roomy, grass, level sites with picnic table and fire ring. Gate security. You'll want to remember to get your $10 deposit back for the gate card before leaving. Nice, large pool area. W, E, S all fine; electric was very strong. We enjoyed that it was off the main drag but near everything. Only has two wifi hotspots; one at the pool and the other in the office. Not very strong and they don't guarantee you can get it at your site. With campground rates increasing (at least in the NE), poor wifi is disappointing and really not acceptable in today's environment of mobile devices especially at $70/night. - Team Asphalt

Not many people here. Sites are gravel, and fairly level. We were going to just do an overnight, and asked for a pull-through. They gave us a back-in, and we assumed they expected many more campers for the Memorial Day Weekend. Nope.... no one else came in. It certainly wasn't awful, but nothing to get excited about for us. - Bob and Vicki

Hi, I'm 21, married, and have a 3 month old baby girl (soon to be 4 months on Friday). I am looking for other mommies like me who love to read and has a kid because I want to start a book club and gush about babies. Obviously we would meet in very public places like a StarBucks, or the Barnes&Nobels off of the 78 and El Camino Real. Is anyone interested?

For sure June is good!
What Genre of books are you interested in?

I'll join! I have to admit though, I rarely read books and take my time reading them. I like murder and mystery books. My son is about to turn 6 months this sunday!

Hmm, I will read mostly anything. Lately, I've been into "chick" books that are nonfiction. What about you?
