One killed in apartment fire
One person dies after flames spark in apartment twice
Madison Fire Department investigators are still sorting out what caused a fatal fire and why it rekindled two and a half hours later.
The Dane County Medical Examiner confirmed one person is dead after the south side apartment fire Wednesday afternoon.
Madison Fire Department spokesperson Lori Wirth said an autopsy is set for Thursday.
Crews responded to a two-story apartment building fire at 6425 Bridge Road. Officials said the call came in at 3:45 p.m. when neighbors reported smoke in the building, and the fire was put out by 4:05 p.m.
The occupant of an apartment was carried into the hallway, but was unable to be resuscitated.
Hilary Andrews pulled up on the scene when the fire was still going strong.
"I came around the corner on Broadway, and there was fire shooting out in front," Andrews described. "I knew somebody was, if they were there, they were dead."
Thankfully, Andrews' parents got out safely.
"This is real, a real shocker," Andrews said.
Wirth said just as investigators were trying to get into the second-floor apartment where the fire started, more flames forced them out.
Todd Evans, who does maintenance for the building Wednesday, said he's never seen any structure rekindle so quickly.
"Doesn't happen. That's just, I don't even know how to explain it. It just never happens," Evans said.
Evans said he just visited the apartment the day before it burned.
"Everybody knows everybody here, so you feel bad," Evans mentioned. "But tomorrow we'll start putting it back together."
Wirth said in a situation like this, it is common to see fires rekindle.
"We've got a lot of things burning. We did chase it up into the ceiling and into the attic," Wirth said. "When you get it out, you naturally do everything in your power to overhaul and make sure that it's out. But there's a lot of debris that occurs as a result of a fire like this."
Wirth could not speak to the contents of the apartment, but said a neighbor called in the initial fire after hearing a neighbor's fire alarm going off.
Wirth said most of the damage is in the end unit where both fires began, but there is damage to the apartment next door and directly below that space. Investigators are still figuring out what caused both blazes.
Residents of second-floor units are not being allowed back into their apartments Wednesday night. Residents of the first-floor are being allowed back inside except four apartments near where the fire started.
Twenty occupants were displaced by the fire. Damage estimates are still being calculated.

Talk about a day in paradise.
Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey were married Friday evening in a tropical island ceremony in front of just 35 friends and family, their reps confirm exclusively to PEOPLE.
"For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and thats to start a family together," Minnillo tells PEOPLE.
The pair, who became engaged in November, flew their wedding guests to the secret location as a surprise.
"Nobody knew where they were going," says Minnillo, 30.
Adds Lachey, "Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket. We told them they were going away and the attire was island chic. It was all very vague."
Minnillo, the new host of Wipeout, donned a two-piece Monique Lhuillier ensemble featuring an intricately embellished lace corset with rose and crystal detail, paired with a signature hand tufted skirt made of silk faille.
The look was completed with a tailored bow belt at her waist and chapel length tulle veil.
Lachey, 37, who hosts The Sing-Off, sported a Dolce & Gabanna suit.
Their wedding will be televised on a TLC's special called Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding premiering on July 30 from 9-11pm ET/PT.

Color My World
Color My World - Finding the Colors that work best for you
Sometimes we need to take stock of our wardrobes and look more closely at what works for us. You may not realize it but it's not just shape that is important, color is as important if not even more important than shape and style especially when choosing modest clothing.
Abandon any preconceived ideas you have about what colors suits you best. You may be in for a shock! There are plenty of color consultants who will be able to help you with every aspect of your wardrobe but here are some tips for those who want to go it alone!
The best place to begin is in your closet. Drape the different colors you already possess against your skin. If your clois all black you really do need some help. Go to your local paint store and get some color cards and hold them close to your face. They may be small but it is a start!
Anything that makes you look ill, pale, or clashes is to be ruled out straight away. You are looking for tones that enhance your skin, eyes and hair.
Color Seasons
Many consultants will talk to you about 'Color Seasons'. Depending on your hair, eye color and your skin tone you will find there is a particular seasonal range for you.
Wear deep and rich colors winter colors, if you're a brunette.
Wear bright spring colors, if you have pale skin and golden or strawberry blonde hair
Wear more demure and muted summer colors, if you have blonde hair and pale skin.
Wear autumn oranges, browns and olive greens, if you have ruddy skin tone. Autumns can be red-heads, have black hair or a combination of blond and brown hair.
Color Psychology
Color says a lot about you, who you are or how others perceive you.
Wear dark colors to convey authority and power. A splash of color should be worn otherwise you may look like a funeral director in search of new business.
Wear pastel colors to seem relaxed and friendly, there are plenty to choose from.
Mix colors to convey creativity. Complementary colors or even from the same color spectrum work best. Check out www.colorschemedesigner.com for a great way to put colors together.
Reds tend to vary on the messages they send out. Burgundy conveys sophistication, while blue-red conveys assertiveness. An orange-red would be worn by someone who is lively
Wear pinks to convey an open heart. Male Politicians often wear pink shirts or ties to express their softer, more approachable side especially if voters see them as aloof.
Wear whites to symbolize a new beginning. White in winter is stunning but it can also drain your skin tones and soiled whites can spoil your whole appearance.
Wear yellows to display warmth and optimism and oranges to display high energy. Citrus colors are not easy to wear so be careful when putting your outfit together especially with your skin tones.
Dress to impress
Going for a new job then dress to impress. According to color consultant,Angela Harris,
Red, Orange and Yellow are to be avoided as they are highly emotive colors.
Black may be authoritative but it can make you appear distant and domineering.
Blue, Grey and Brown give a sense of authority, and imply you are calm, trustworthy, and sensible. Apparently, according to studies people wearing blue are more likely to get the job than any other color!
So when it comes to choosing new clothes for your wardrobe think color!

For the third time in his career, Hope College coach John
Patnott has been honored by his peers as a national coach of the year.
The College Swimming Coaches Association has named Patnott and Denison
University coach Gregg Parini as the 1998 NCAA Division III national women's
coaches of the year.
Patnott's Flying Dutch finished fifth at the NCAA Division III women's
swimming and diving championships in St. Louis, Mo. Iast weekend. With a
contingent comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores, each of Hope's seven
qualifiers returned an NCAA All-American. Denizen finished second at the national
In 1994 Patnott was honored as the national women's coach-of-the-year. He
also achieved that distinction as the national men's coach of the year in 1991.
Patnott started the Hope College swimming program in 1978 and has developed
it into one of the nation's finest small college programs for men and women.
Hope's teams are annually competitive on the conference and national level. He
has coached Hope teams to 22 Michigan Intercolegiate Athletic Association (MIAA)
championships -- 15 by the women and seven by the men. He has coached 81
All-Americans and had national champions 21 times during his 18-year career. He
has also had 27 Academic All-Americans since 1984.

Don't Worry Everything's Fine
Student Exploration
That's Not Supposed To Be There
Imagine you have an itch. You scratch it, but it still itches. You look at it and see a thread. When you go to pull the thread off, you find out the thread is coming out of you! Huh? You go to the doctor; the doctor sends you to a specialist, a dermatologist, and in a very diplomatic manner, the dermatologist implies you're nuts. A disease which cause threads to come out of you? Perhaps, you have been watching or reading too much science fiction because there is no disease like this.
At least, that is what doctors thought until more and more patients starting turning up with these strange symptoms, and eventually the conclusion they were all nuts just wasn't tenable, at least for some people. No, there really was something wrong with the people, something previously unrecognized. These people were suffering from a skin condition called Morgellon's Disease. Here you can hear firsthand what some of the sufferers of Morgellon's Disease have experienced.
For the most part, physicians and researchers have come to grips with Morgellon's Disease being a real condition, so sufferers are not treated like they are delusional. But recognizing a condition is a far cry from understanding or curing a condition. Researchers are finding this seems to be a very complex multifaceted condition. Some also feel that a slime mold (Dictyostelium discoideum) is a key player in the condition. Watch this to find out why researchers feel this slime mold is crucial to understanding Morgellon's Disease. Keep in mind that "correlation does not prove cause" and not all researchers agree with the interpretation of these findings, but progress is being made in understanding Morgellon's Disease
You may have noticed the suggestion that recombinant DNA technology has played a role in the spread of Morgellon's Disease. Such possibilities always need to be evaluated, but it is also important to note the first occurrence of Morgellon's Disease is reported from the 1600s, so it is doubtful recombinant DNA will tell the whole story. Indeed, with emerging studies and findings, it is always important to consider all angles as you search for a solution, and some people are looking to organisms other than slime molds to explain Morgellon's Disease.

Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What are some of the symptoms of Morgellon's Disease? Why are some of these symptoms easy to ignore?
- If treatment with antibiotics for bacterial infection and treatment with antivirals for viral infection don't work, where would you look next for a cause to Morgellon's Disease? What other possible disease vectors are there?
- What do researchers believe is the cause of the neurological symptoms of Morgellon's Disease?
- Has the cause of Morgellon's Disease been proven? Why or why not?
- How may the life cycle of a slime mold explain some of the symptoms of Morgellon's Disease? Be as thorough as you can in you answer. How could a sufferer's observations that symptoms became worse after a shower support the role of a slime mold in Morgellon's Disease?
- What evidence is there that genetically modified plants are involved in Morgellon's Disease? Do you find this evidence convincing? Why or why not?

Once again, Zimmerman says he was walking back to the truck and he was attacked. His side of the story. How do any of us know if he followed the 911 operator's instructions to return to the truck.
Once again, there are always to sides to every story and, from my experience, those sides usually don't usually match up.
quote:because of where the confrontation occurred.
How do any of us know if he followed the 911 operator's instructions to return to the truck.
quote:True Story:
However, how many normal folks would have gotten out of the safety of their vehicles to follow somebody that looked suspicious?
quote:Don't know how your castle doctrine reads but if I was in my yard or driveway then yeah, pop a cap. Going over to a neighbor's house I think I would leave that up to the cops.
If I saw them meandering into one of my neighbors driveways, I would probably go see what was going on, while calling the cops. If one of the teens were to attack me, and I shot him. . .how am I wrong?
quote:My neighbors and I are pretty close.
Going over to a neighbor's house I think I would leave that up to the cops.
video of George Zimmerman reenacting the fatal fight with Trayvon Martin
quote:I would feel the same way in my old neighborhood; not where I am now. Plus, these kids usually target vehicles that are left unlocked. You do that now a days then you deserve to have crap stolen.
I can't not do something to help my neighbors.
He felt threatened, any reasonable person would protect themselves.
Following someone, even if dumb, is NOT instigating a PHYSICAL confrontation. Hell, if I walked up to you and said "hey, you're not from this neighborhood, what are you doing" and you got pissed and started to pummell me, I didn't fricking start that shite.
We don't. But we DO KNOW beyond any reasonable doubt that Trayvon turned back because if he hadn't, he gets home in sub 30 seconds. PERIOD
Not many. But I do know some and when I was in Alaska, I saw it all the time.
He never said he was going to "pursue" him. He simply wanted to be able to see where TM was going. He was at some distance and armed. Why would this be a big deal to him? Wouldn't be to me.
quote:If Zimm fired first, Trayvon would have been a bit too dead to bash the frick out of George.
Your right, but how do you know for sure who pummelled who first? You may hit me first and I may still kick you butt.
quote:That is obviously correct, and beyond dispute.
You may be correct that he didn't go inside his house.
quote:That he chose to escalate the situation, rather than go inside and call the cops. . .which is what a normal human being does if they feel they are being followed by a scary guy.
What does that provide.
quote:Which is supported by where the altercation occurred.
Zimmerman said he was walking back to his truck. Once again, his story.
quote:If the guy was beating Zimmerman into the pavement, what should he have done? Die?
Once again, what I consider self defense and what you consider self defense may differ.
quote:I am not a scared little girl.
Well I think I would put my safety above all else. If I think somebody is "up to no good", "acting strange" or "looks suspicious", I would probably be thinking this person could possibly be a danger, so I definitely am not going to go following him, that the job of a police officer.
When I see a black teen hovering near mine or my neighbors house I walk outside to investigate, and decide whether to call the police. If I saw them meandering into one of my neighbors driveways, I would probably go see what was going on, while calling the cops. If one of the teens were to attack me, and I shot him. . .how am I wrong?
The local police told us it was young black teenagers, and they've done it before. This means that the people I need to be on the lookout for are black teens. Now am I looking for suspicious black teens because I hate blacks, or because it is reasonable to do so? Had the cops told me it was red-headed asians, I would be looking for them.
quote:I can handle myself.
So you value your neighbor's property over your own life?
Certainly would be reasonable to be on the lookout.
quote:I wouldn't confront, so much as verify.
I don't know if it would be reasonable to feel the need to confront a person that is in a commission of a criminal act when you have no way of knowing their mindset.
quote:They would probably have better opportunities to make money than stealing sunglasses out of the odd unlocked vehicle.
If they have a history of violence and have no regard to human life
quote:Somebody capable of that level of violence, that close to my family?
Who is to say that they don't shoot you and kill you before you even get the chance to ask what they are doing?
quote:I carry.
Personally, I would think about my own life and what it would mean to my kids if I were to get killed by confronting somebody that is breaking the law.
quote:I will not call 911, unless I know there is a reason.
ll admit, I would not be trying to be a hero, I would simply pick up the phone, call 911 and let the cops do their job.
I am not a scared little girl. If I think someone is trying to rip off my neighbor, I feel obligated to do something. I would check it out before calling the police, though. Zimm called the police sooner than I would have
What disgusting human being would mock a teen that has been killed under such tragic circumstances?
Back to the point at hand: If I go check it out, and the person attacks me, you are telling me I should not defend myself?
I have yet to figure out what exactly made him come to the conclusion that this was a "suspicious" person to begin with.
I have yet to figure out what exactly made him come to the conclusion that this was a "suspicious" person to begin with. Because you weren't there. Neither was I. It's impossible to judge no matter how hard some people are trying.

Are you doing all the right things yet you are still unable to lose weight? A hidden food allergy could be the culprit. Dr. Mark Hyman, New York Times best-selling author and an advocate for functional medicine, supports groundbreaking research linking food allergies to weight gain.
Sudden-onset vs. Slow-onset Food allergies
Most people think food-related allergic reactions are sudden and fast acting – such as peanut or shellfish allergies which can cause immediate inflammation (an IgE immune response), resulting in swelling or difficulty breathing and can be life-threatening. On the other hand, dairy, which can be hidden in many everyday foods causes a far less acute allergic reaction, creating inflammation hours or even days later (an IgG immune response). Up to 60% of the population could be affected by hidden sensitivities to foods such as dairy.
Dairy Allergy and Weight Gain
Foods with dairy can cause unhealthy bacteria to overgrow and produce toxins that cause systemic inflammation that swells the intestines and prevents normal digestion, causing weight gain, among other conditions such as irritable bowel. In fact, you can gain up to 30 pounds a year due to a dairy allergy.
Lastly, a dairy allergy is tied to inflammation in the gut, as opposed to lactose intolerance, which is an inability to digest the milk sugar called lactose.
The first step to finding out if a dairy allergy is making you gain weight is to identify both the main and hidden sources of dairy in your diet.

Hmm, it's not quite accurate to say that "The iOS 5.0 untethered jailbreak is on its way" - nobody really knows yet whether the people working on the untether will be successful, or if they'll be successful anytime soon. We can hope for it, but we don't know for sure.

NOTICE: As of January 27, 2014, AIDD has a new address and phone number: Administration for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Administration for Community Living, Washington, DC 20201; (202) 401-4541
AIDD is dedicated to ensuring that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families are able to fully participate in and contribute to all aspects of community life in the United States and its territories.
AIDD Programs Fact Sheet (PDF, 544KB)
In each state or territory, the grantees form a Developmental Disabilities Network, or DD Network, that is uniquely positioned to meet the diverse needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in their state.
While each entity within the network serves specific, sometimes disparate purposes, they were established with overlapping goals that facilitate collaboration and interconnectivity among the different units. Because of its structure, each entity within a state's DD Network is able to work cross-functionally to fulfill the mandates of the DD Act and its core values: self-determination, independence, productivity, integration and inclusion in all facets of the community.
The 56 Councils across the United States and its territories work to address identified needs by conducting advocacy, systems change, and capacity building efforts that promote self-determination, integration, and inclusion. Key activities include conducting outreach, providing training and technical assistance, removing barriers, developing coalitions, encouraging citizen participation, and keeping policymakers informed about disability issues.
The 57 P&As across the United States and its territories are dedicated to the ongoing fight for the personal and civil rights of individuals with developmental disabilities. P&As are independent of service-providing agencies within their states and work at the state level to protect individuals with developmental disabilities by empowering them and advocating on their behalf. P&As provide legal support to traditionally unserved or underserved populations to help them navigate the legal system to achieve resolution and encourage systems change.
The 68 UCEDDs across the United States and its territories are unique among AIDD program grantees in that they are affiliated with universities, allowing them to serve as liaisons between academia and the community. UCEDDs are a nationwide network of independent but interlinked centers, representing an expansive national resource for addressing issues, finding solutions, and advancing research related to the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
PNS efforts focus on the most pressing issues affecting people with developmental disabilities and their families, creating and enhancing opportunities for these individuals to contribute to, and participate in, all facets of community life. Through PNS, AIDD supports the development of national and state policy and awards grants and contracts that enhance the independence, productivity, inclusion, and integration of people with developmental disabilitie.
The mission of PCPID is to provide advice and assistance to the President of the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services on a broad range of topics that impact people with intellectual disabilities and the field of Intellectual Disabilities. Undergirding the Committee's mission is the goal to improve the quality of life that is experienced by people with intellectual disabilities, by upholding their full citizenship rights, independence, self-determination, and life-long participation in their respective communities.
In order to provide equal opportunity for participation in the electoral process (including privacy and independence), Help America Vote Act (HAVA) grants make polling places accessible to voters with disabilities.
Assistive technology can be an integral part of community living for many people with disabilities. This program uses the network of protection and advocacy organizations established by the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act to increase access to assistive technology for people with disabilities.

Palestine and Israel: A Primer
After World War I, the League of Nations (dominated by Britain and France) carved up the territories of the defeated Ottoman Empire. The territory now made up of Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jordan was granted to Great Britain as a quasi-colonial Mandate. In 1922, Britain established the emirate of Transjordan (east of the Jordan River), still part of its mandate but administratively distinct from Palestine.
When Britain assumed control of Palestine, over 90 percent of its population were Palestinians. A small indigenous Jewish population had lived there for generations, and a newer, politicized community linked to the Zionist movement had begun to immigrate to Palestine in the 1880s.
During World War I, Britain made promises to Arab leaders for an independent Arab state that would include Palestine (the Hussain-McMahon correspondence) and to the Zionists for the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine (the Balfour Declaration). These commitments conflicted with each other as well as with Britain's intent to retain control over Palestine.
European Jewish immigration increased dramatically after Hitler's rise to power in 1933, leading to accelerated land purchases and new Jewish settlements. Palestinian resistance to British control and Zionist settlement climaxed with the Arab revolt of 1936-39, which Britain suppressed with the help of Zionist militias.
Following World War II, escalating hostilities between Palestinian Arabs and Jews prompted Britain to relinquish its mandate over Palestine. The United Nations decided that the only means of resolving the conflict was to partition the land into two states. Britain evacuated, and Zionist leaders declared the state of Israel on May 15, 1948. Neighboring Arab states then intervened militarily, precipitating the first Arab-Israeli war.
The war left historic Palestine divided into three parts. The 1949 armistice gave Israel control over 77 percent of the territory. Jordan occupied and annexed East Jerusalem and the hill country of central Palestine (the "West Bank"). Egypt took control of the coastal plain around the city of Gaza (the Gaza Strip). The Palestinian Arab State envisioned by the partition plan was never established.
Zionism is a modern political movement based on the proposition that Jews constitute one nationality and religion, and that the only solution to anti-Semitism is the concentration of as many Jews as possible in Palestine. Zionism gained adherents among Jews and support from the West as a consequence of the murderous anti-Semitic pogroms of Eastern Europe and the Nazi holocaust. Not all Jews are Zionist, although today Zionism in some form is embraced by a large majority of Jews. Zionism drew on Jewish religious attachment to Jerusalem and parts of Palestine (traditionally known as Eretz Israel, or the Land of Israel) but it is in essence a modern political ideology, influenced by the nationalist movements of Eastern Europe and by 19th-century colonial conquest.
While all Zionists agree about the need for a Jewish state, significant arguments about what the territorial extent of that state should be divide Zionists from one another. Some Zionists (in Israel and abroad) support the notion of "Greater Israel," which would include not only 1948 Israel but the permanent annexation of territories occupied since 1967 as well. To maintain the Jewish character of Greater Israel, these Zionists, who are found in the leaderships and memberships of both the Labor and Likud parties, implicitly or explicitly support expulsion of the Palestinians from some or even all of the occupied territories. Many Zionists, however, especially Israelis who understand the costs of Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands, are willing to withdraw from the occupied territories in order to have a smaller but still Jewish Israel. Israeli journalist Tanya Reinhart cites recent Israeli opinion polls indicating that over half of Israelis support withdrawal from most of the occupied lands. Such a withdrawal would be the basis for a "two-state solution"—that is, a revised version of the partition plan of 1947, in which an Israeli/Jewish and a Palestinian state would exist side by side.
Non-Zionist Jews, a distinct minority, support the right of Jews to live in historic Palestine, but unlike Zionists they believe that nationalisms like Zionism, based on ethnicity or religion, are a recipe for discrimination and endless political conflict. At least some of these Jews support a democratic secular state consisting of present-day Israel together with the occupied territories, in which Jews and Palestinians would live as equal citizens.
The ongoing dispute in the Middle East between Jews and Arabs--or more accurately, between Israelis and Palestinians--is not a religious conflict; it is essentially a struggle over land. For the Palestinians, this is their homeland, where they have lived for centuries and generation after generation. The Zionists base their claim to Palestine on the Biblical promise to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 17:8), on the historic connection between the Land of Israel and the Jewish people and/or on the desperate need for a haven from European anti-Semitism.
Palestine is a small territory: approximately 10,000 square miles or about the size of Maryland. In 1947 in Resolution 181 (II), the United Nations General Assembly announced the partition plan of Palestine into two states; one Arab Palestinian and one Jewish. Fifty-six percent of the land was designated for the emerging Jewish State, while only 43 percent was designated for the Arab State. The Arab countries rejected this plan and viewed it as unjust to the Arab Palestinian majority who constituted two thirds of the population and owned more than 80 percent of the land at the time of the partition. According to the UN partition plan, the area of Jerusalem and Bethlehem was to become an international zone.
In recent years, the majority of Palestinian people have come to accept the existence of Israel on 78 percent of historical Palestine. This recognition was made official in the PLO declaration of independence at its 19th session in Algeria on November 18, 1988 and affirmed in 1996. Likewise, the majority of the Palestinian people supported participation in the Oslo peace talks with Israel. Palestinians hoped these talks would allow the Palestinians to establish their own viable state on 22 percent of remaining Palestine and live in peace alongside of Israel. Some Palestinian minority factions, however, primarily those with radical religious ideologies (Hamas & Islamic Jihad), still do not recognize Israel's right to exist on the land of Palestine.
At the same time, Israeli Jews are also divided on the issue of establishing a Palestinian state. The Israeli right, including the ruling Likud party as well as right wing religious parties and the militant settler's movement, rejects any land concessions as basis for peace. In fact, they believe that Palestinians have no place in Palestine and that the land of Palestine was promised only to the Jewish people. Other Israelis accept the idea that the establishment of a viable Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel is the only way to bring a just and lasting peace.
In June 1967 Israel decisively defeated the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian armies and captured the remainder of mandate Palestine as well as the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt and the Golan Heights from Syria. The newly-captured parts of former mandate Palestine, known since 1948 as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, have since 1967 often been referred to as the "occupied territories."
Politically, the war established Israel as the regional military power. The war discredited the Arab regimes, especially radical Arab nationalism represented by Egypt's Nasser and the Ba'th parties of Syria and Iraq. By contrast, the Palestinian national movement emerged as a major actor after 1967 in the form of the political and guerrilla groups that made up the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Prior to 1948, neither the West Bank nor the Gaza Strip had constituted separate geographical units. Their distinctiveness developed as a result of the partition that created a Jewish state in Palestine. Israel has illegally occupied the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since the 1967 war. Israel withdrew from the Sinai during 1979-82, as required by its peace treaty with Egypt, but annexed the Golan Heights in 1981. In violation of international law, Israel has confiscated over 52 percent of the West Bank territory and 40 percent of the Gaza Strip for military use and for settlements exclusively inhabited by Israeli-Jews.
The 1947 UN partition plan proposed that Jerusalem and its environs would become an international zone, independent of both the proposed Jewish and Palestinian Arab states. In the 1948-49 War, Israel took control of the western part of Jerusalem, while Jordan took the eastern part, including the old walled city containing important Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious sites. The 1949 armistice line cut the city in two. In the June 1967 war Israel captured East Jerusalem, immediately annexed it, and reaffirmed its annexation in 1981. This is a most difficult point of contention.
Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital and rejects any negotiations over its political future. Palestinians see Jerusalem as central to the conflict. As a result, Palestinian negotiators have, to date, been unwilling to agree to a settlement with Israel that does not permit East Jerusalem to become the capital of a new Palestinian state.
After coming to power in late 1970, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt indicated to the US that he was willing to resolve the conflict with Israel in exchange for Egyptian territory lost in 1967. When these overtures were ignored by Washington and Tel Aviv, Egypt and Syria attacked Israeli forces occupying the Sinai and the Golan Heights in October 1973. The crisis prompted American political intervention, along with sharply increased military aid to Israel. US Secretary of state Henry Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy brought about limited disengagement agreements in the Sinai and Golan. But by late 1975 these efforts had exhausted their potential, and no comprehensive settlement was in sight.
As efforts to convene a Geneva conference involving all parties to the dispute remained stalled, Sadat decided in late 1977 to break the status quo by dealing separately with Israel under US auspices. His visit to Jerusalem on November 19, 1977 began what came to be known as the "Camp David process."
In September 1978 President Jimmy Carter invited Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to the Camp David presidential retreat. They worked out two agreements: a framework for peace between Egypt and Israel; and a general framework for resolution of the Middle East crisis--i.e. the Palestinian question.
This latter agreement proposed to grant autonomy to the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, to install a local administration for a five-year interim period, and to decide the ultimate status of the territories after that period.
Only the Egyptian-Israeli part of the Camp David agreement was ever implemented. The Palestinians and other Arab states rejected the autonomy concept as contrary to self-determination and Israel immediately sabotaged negotiations by continuing to confiscate Palestinian lands and build new settlements.
In December 1987, the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza started a mass uprising against the Israeli occupation. This uprising, or intifada (which means "shaking off" in Arabic), was not started or orchestrated by the PLO leadership in Tunisia. Rather, it was a popular mobilization that drew on the organizations and institutions that had developed under occupation. The intifada involved hundreds of thousands of people, many with no previous resistance experience, including children, teenagers and women. For the first few years, it involved many forms of non-violent civil disobedience, including massive demonstrations, general strikes, refusal to pay taxes, boycotts of Israeli products, political graffiti and the establishment of underground schools (since regular schools were closed by the military as reprisals for the uprising). It also included stone throwing, Molotov cocktails and the erection of barricades to impede the movement of Israeli military forces.
Intifada activism was organized through popular committees under the umbrella of the United National Leadership of the Uprising. The UNLU was a coalition of the four PLO parties active in the occupied territories: Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Palestine Peoples Party (PPP, formerly the Communist Party) in the Occupied Territories. This broad-based resistance drew unprecedented international attention to the situation facing Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, and challenged the occupation as never before.
Under the leadership of Minister of Defense Yitzhak Rabin, Israel tried to smash the intifada with "force, power and blows." Army commanders instructed troops to break the bones of demonstrators. From 1987 to 1991 Israeli forces killed over 1,000 Palestinians, including over 200 under the age of sixteen. By 1990, most of the UNLU leaders had been arrested and the intifada lost its cohesive force, although it continued for several more years. Political divisions and violence within the Palestinian community escalated, especially the growing rivalry between the various PLO factions and Islamist organizations (HAMAS and Islamic Jihad). Palestinian militants killed over 250 Palestinians suspected of collaborating with the occupation authorities and about 100 Israelis during this period.
Although the intifada did not bring an end to the occupation, it made clear that the status quo was untenable. The intifada shifted the center of gravity of Palestinian political initiative away from the PLO leadership in Tunisia to the occupied territories. Palestinian activists in the occupied territories demanded that the PLO adopt a clear political program to guide the struggle for independence. In response, the Palestine National Council (a Palestinian government-in-exile), convened in Algeria in November 1988, recognized the state of Israel, proclaimed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and renounced terrorism. The Israeli government did not respond to these gestures, claiming that nothing had changed and that the PLO was a terrorist organization with which it would never negotiate. The US did acknowledge that the PLO's policies had changed, but did little to encourage Israel to abandon its intransigent stand.
After a series of secret negotiations in Norway in the fall of 1993, Israeli and Palestinian officials signed a peace agreement called The Oslo Accords. On September 19, 1993, Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signed the Declaration of Principles, i.e. the Oslo Accords, on the White House lawn under the endorsement of former President Bill Clinton. The Oslo agenda divided the peace process into an interim phase to establish limited Palestinian autonomy and a final status phase to discuss the most difficult issues, including Jerusalem and the Palestinian refugee problem. When the Oslo Accords expired in 1999, the interim phase remained incomplete. Discussion of final status issues has been suspended and any resumption of negotiations seems highly improbable until a new framework is established.
The 1993 Oslo Memorandum is considered by the international community to mark the beginning of the "peace process" between Palestinians and Israelis. Unfortunately, the dark side of the Oslo process is that even while talks were ongoing, the construction of illegal Israeli settlements accelerated. There are now twice as many Israeli settlers in the Occupied territories than there was when the Oslo accords were signed. The settlement construction has been accompanied by the development of a "bypass road" network to link Israel and the settlements by high-speed roads that exclude Palestinians. Another concomitant of the settlement process has been the ongoing seizures and arbitrary demolition of Palestinian homes.
The unabated Israeli push to settle in the occupied Palestinian Territories has violated the spirit and letter of the Oslo agreements and has served to undermine the hopes Palestinians had held out for the peace process.
The provisions of the Oslo Memorandum include the following:
1. The creation of the Palestinian National Authority and future PNA democratic elections.
2. A gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Occupied Territories.
3. The transfer of authority of the Occupied Territories from Israel to the PNA over a five-year period.
4. A final status agreement between both camps based on UN Resolutions 338 and 242.
On September 28, 1995, the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and Gaza Strip was ratified. In addition to other provisions including those outlined in Oslo I, this document, commonly known as Oslo II, detailed the implementation of the second phase of Palestinian self-rule in the Occupied Territories.
Its provisions included the following:
1. Elections for the Council of the Palestinian National Authority
2. A gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the centers of Palestinian populated areas.
3. The establishment of Palestinian self-rule in the Occupied Territories.
4. The prohibition of any change in the status of the West Bank and Gaza pending the outcome of final status negotiations.
5. The transfer of planning and zoning authority in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from the Israeli Military Authorities to the PNA.
6. The division of the West Bank into areas A, B, and C. Area C, under complete Israeli military control, includes 70 percent of the West Bank whereas Area A, under complete PA control, makes up 3 percent. The remaining Area B is under joint Palestinian-Israeli control.
In both the Oslo I and II treaties, many important issues were either left vague or ignored. The status of Jerusalem, of Palestinian refugees, as well as the borders of a future Palestinian state were not addressed in the Memorandum and were set aside for future negotiations. The language on other critical issues such as control of water resources, security protocols, and the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories was ambiguous. In practice, the Israeli government has been able to impose its interpretation of the accords without considering of Palestinian objections.
In the post-Oslo period, the Palestinians in residing the West Bank and Gaza Strip remained under Israeli military occupation. Under occupation they have been subject to the arbitrary practices of occupation authorities. For example, even in the practice of administrative detention, in which the Israeli government legally prosecutes and imprisons individuals without due process or a public trial, continues to be practiced. In 1998, 98 Palestinians were placed in Israeli prisons under administrative detention. Jewish settlements continue to emerge and expand alongside Israeli bypass roads and industrial sites causing the displacement of Palestinian families, the expropriation of their land, and the demolition of their homes. Over 800 Palestinian homes have been demolished since Oslo I, and the number continues to increase. Today, 2,000 Palestinian homes have outstanding demolition orders.
Curfews, military checkpoints, and closure policies continue to regulate and restrict the movement of the Palestinian population within the West Bank and Gaza strip. In 1999, only 600 Palestinians were given permits by Israel to enter and exit the West Bank and Gaza, leaving the approximately 3 million Palestinians without the right to travel outside their permitted place of residence. The Palestinian economy continues to deteriorate under Israel's closure policy, which effectively prevents normal trade relations between the Occupied Territories, themselves and their neighboring states. In 1993 alone, the GDP of the Palestinian economy shrunk 22 percent, and the trend has yet to significantly change.
The deeply flawed "peace process" initiated at Oslo, combined with the daily frustrations and humiliations inflicted upon Palestinians in the occupied territories, converged to ignite a second intifada beginning in late September 2000. On September 28, Likud leader, and now Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon visited the Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in the company of 1,000 armed guards. In the context of July's tense negotiations over Jerusalem's holy places, and Sharon's well-known call for Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem, this move provoked large Palestinian protests in Jerusalem. Israeli soldiers killed six civilian protesters. These killings inaugurated over a month of demonstrations and clashes across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. For a brief period, these demonstrations spread into Palestinian towns inside Israel.
The militant wing of Fatah, which has coordinated many street actions, now has a substantial cache of small arms and has fired often on Israeli troops. The Israeli military response escalated dramatically after two soldiers, allegedly "lost" in the PA-controlled West Bank town of Ramallah, were killed October 12 by a Palestinian mob returning from the funeral of an unarmed young man whom soldiers had shot dead the day before. The IDF attacked PA installations in Ramallah, Gaza and elsewhere with helicopter gunships and missiles. Subsequently, the IDF has not always waited for Israelis to die before answering Palestinian small arms fire with tank shells and artillery, including the shelling of civilian neighborhoods in the West Bank and Gaza.
For these actions and the use of live ammunition to control demonstrations of unarmed Palestinians, several international human rights organizations have condemned Israel for use of excessive force. The UN Security Council passed a similar condemnation, from which the US abstained, and on October 20, the UN General Assembly approved a resolution condemning Israel. Israel, the US and four Polynesian Island nations voted no, and a third of the assembly abstained. Despite a truce agreement at Sharm al-Sheikh, a later agreement to quell violence between Arafat and Shimon Peres, and Bill Clinton's attempts to restart negotiations in January 2001, the second intifada did not look like it would end soon. In December 2000, Barak called early elections for Prime Minister to forestall a likely vote of no confidence in the Knesset, and he eventually lost to Sharon in the February 6 election.
On April 3, 2002, the Israeli Defense Forces launched a major military operation in the Jenin refugee camp, home to some fourteen thousand Palestinians, the overwhelming majority of them civilians. The Israelis' expressed aim was to capture or kill Palestinian militants responsible for suicide bombings and other attacks that have killed more than seventy Israelis and other civilians since March 2002. At least 140 buildings most of them multi-family dwellings were completely destroyed in the camp, and severe damage caused to more than 200 others has rendered them uninhabitable or unsafe. An estimated 4,000 people, more than a quarter of the population of the camp, became homeless because of this destruction. The Israeli army intentionally also damaged the water, sewage and electrical infrastructure of the camp.
Human Rights Watch has confirmed that at least fifty-two Palestinians were killed as a result of IDF operations in Jenin. At least twenty-two of those confirmed dead were civilians, including children, physically disabled, and elderly people. Throughout the incursion, IDF soldiers used Palestinian civilians to protect themselves from danger, deploying them as "human shields" and forcing them to perform dangerous work. During "Operation Defensive Shield," the IDF blocked the passage of emergency medical vehicles and personnel to Jenin refugee camp for eleven days, from April 4 to April 15. During this period, injured combatants and civilians in the camp as well as the sick had no access to emergency medical treatment.
After the incursion of Jenin, the UN organized a fact-finding mission to develop accurate information regarding the events in the Jenin refugee camp in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1405. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan appointed former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari to head the team that included Cornelio Sommaruga, former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Sadako Ogata, former UN High Commissioner for Refugees. After originally agreeing to the fact-finding mission, Israel pressured Annan to abandon the mission by insisting that its soldiers be protected from prosecution. It wanted more counter-terrorism experts to be added to the group and demanded that activities by Palestinian militants in the camp also be scrutinized.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Alan Hitt is better known as "Buddy."
Which makes sense, since he's exactly that – a buddy with everyone who walks into his Main Barber Shop.
"He's easy to talk to and everyone just gets along in here," said Bill Snider of Blue Springs, who has been getting his hair cut by Hitt for nearly as long as Hitt's been in business.
And make no mistake, Hitt is a barber.
"I cut hair, I don't style hair," he said with a wide smile, one he throws often to regulars and newcomers alike in the little shop he's run since 1970.
His tools of the trade are simple – scissors, a comb and trimmer are just about all he needs.
"I used to offer hot shaves, but not anymore," he said as he gave Mac McDaniel a "high and tight" haircut.
"I tell them I've got hot water, towels and a disposable razor if they need to shave, though," Hitt said with a laugh.
Like its owner, the shop is no-frills. Nothing fancy about it. Basic.
"I keep it simple," he said. "I cut hair; that's about it."
And, of course, there are the conversations that go on, the bantering between friends and colleagues.
"Oh, we talk about everything," Snider said. "If you stick around long enough, you might even find out how to fix something. Happens all the time."
Nobody's really a stranger when they walk into Main Street Barber, which is about as Main Street America as it gets. There's the barber pole outside the door, naturally. An American flag hangs proudly in the window under the shop's sign that says "American-made haircuts."
Hitt isn't being pretentious or overbearing with his patriotic display. As the saying goes, it is what it is.
Step into the shop, and probably the first thing you notice is Hitt in the back of the 425-square-foot or so room. There are two barber chairs, but only one is used – Hitt's. He's been running solo for nearly 20 years now, and he's got the haircutting gig down pat.
After all, he's been doing it since 1968, except for his two-year stint in the Army.
Hitt doesn't look anywhere near his 65 years, which for some folks is retirement age.
"I've been doing this for 40 years," he said. "But I don't know if I've got another 40 left in me."
The shop hasn't changed much during those 40 years, either. It has an air of familiarity with its paneled walls and faded wallpaper trim. Soft drinks and water are for sale for 75 cents, each in a mini-fridge next to the door. Nearby is a bowl of candy with Tootsie Rolls, peppermints and butterscotch.
Vinyl chairs line the left side of the wall, and a few steps away, a table of magazines – some recent, some not so – sits for those who might want to grab something to read rather than join in a conversation or two. Or three or four.
McDaniel, who earlier got the high-and-tight haircut, has been seeing Hitt for years, too.
"He's a good barber – and a good man," he said of Hitt.
That means a lot, coming from a Marine.
He, too, likes the company, where tales of woe and intrigue – and a little bit of gossip – are often shared.
Problems of the world are solved consistently, as well.
"I usually come every three weeks to a month," McDaniel said. "But my hair doesn't grow like it used to."
Snider could say the same. And he also could find another barber a little closer to home in Blue Springs, but why change something that's worked so well all these years?
He even brought his boys to get their hair cuts. They're older and moved on, but Snider hasn't.
"I like it here," he said.
Besides, the prices are good.
A haircut is $12. A senior discount gets a dollar off. A wet cut costs $15.
Hitt could raise his prices if he wanted, and probably wouldn't get much fuss. But why mess with a good thing?
Indeed, Hitt doesn't think his life could get much better than it already is.
"I've really enjoyed meeting everyone all these years," he said. "It's like a family. … and you know, I really love what I do, and not everybody can say that. I really couldn't see myself doing anything else, not after this long."

Our Surf School was one the first schools opening in Peniche and Portugal, its main goal is to teach safe surfing using only adequate gear and to offer highly dynamic, fun classes that continuously focus on pupils' progress.
Benifiting from beeing located in the most consistent surf spot in Peniche and Baleal Peninsulas our surf school has an ideal location for providing quality surf courses, great for beginners and intermediate surfers.
Since the School started in 1993, we have conducted over 5,600 surf courses for people from all sorts of nationalities with ages that span an equally wide range.
We are the only surf school in Portugal's West Region that operates as a concessionary on a beach that has been exclusively reserved for water sports.
As a result, we operate in an area of about 150 metres of the Baleal Camping Park beach that has been exclusively reserved for our School during the holiday season, and are thus able to run our courses on that beach under very safe conditions.
Baleal Surf Camp Surf School in Peniche is accredited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation as well as the Peniche Harbour Captancy.
We are also ISA member and comply with standards so that the school is registered each year.
Since many years now we are an active participant on local initiatives together with Surfrider Foundation Europe. On these activities we involve local community and staff as well as guests. Usually we either organize or just participate in beach cleanup events on beaches around Baleal and Peniche.
Our School has been certified both by the Portuguese Surf Federation as well as by the Peniche Harbour Captaincy. Therefore, the professionalism and qualification of our surf teachers has been accredited by the entities that regulate the practice of this sport.
Official Awards & Honorable Mentions to Baleal Surf Camp - Peniche, Portugal
(...) as safety and convenience are priorities for us I found the Baleal Surf Camp (...) I was impressed with the website which immediately put safety of children in surf lessons as a priority (...)
I am really happy that my children under 10 take off down the beach with 'their friends'( the instructors) and have a very healthy, independent hour or so in the water.
I recommended the school to a number of other families who all had similar experiences and we will be using the school again next summer."
Cliona, UK. December 2010
"(...)What a terrific holiday. The people were incredibly friendly; the prices reasonable, and we loved the fact that we could walk back and forth to the beach from our apartment. No buses, and all of the equipment you need waiting for you as soon as you walk in.
Our instructor Filippe was perfect -- very patient with our children (ages 14, 12, and 9) and a great instructor.
The kids were all very sad to leave, and are already begging to go back to see our new friend. Baleal Surf Camp is owned by two brothers -- Marcos and Bruno -- who were extremely professional and friendly. Thank you.(...)"
Bill, USA. June 2010
Classes at 10:00 & 14:00
Classes at 09:30, 12:00 (children only) and 16:00.

William Steinbach
MIDDLETON- William "Bill" J. Steinbach, only son of Clement A. and Helen L. Steinbach died on January 11th, 2013. Bill was born in Columbus , Wisconsin on March 16, 1936. He lived on a large farm complex, which today is called Fountain Prairie Inn and Farms. At age 5 when his family moved to a smaller farm, he enjoyed the friendship of two close cousins, Russell and Shirley Huebner. He shared his childhood with them until age 10 when his family moved to Cuba City. He Graduated from Cuba City High School where he excelled in team sports. He had a passion for baseball, basketball, and football. As a senior, Bill led the Southwestern Athletic Conference in Basketball scoring and was also named the season MVP.
The proudest day of Bill's life was marrying Shirley M. Kellogg in Mt. Horeb, WI on December 28th, 1957. They were lovingly married for 55 years and created so many meaningful memories together. These moments in time will continue to live on .
Bill's joy was watching his two sons, James and Jonathan, grow through their youth, high school and college. Additionally, camping, team sports, viewing sporting events, and vacationing with his family and friends created further treasures in his life. After their home once again became two, Shirley and Bill made eight trips to Europe, four to Hawaii, and traveled extensively throughout the US. Added to all these wonderful years was daughter in-law Janette, Grandson Zachary (Jim) and daughter in-law Annette, granddaughter Brittany (Jon) whom he loved dearly.
An annual highlight for Bill was his twenty-five consecutive years of attending the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. This time each year allowed him to share time with his sons and an established group of friends who shared a special camaraderie for the sport.
Bill worked for 12 years at the White Grocery (Madison) with his parents, and then went on to become an innovator in home health care for 30 years. During this same time, Bill enjoyed working with and leading as Cub-Master, "Pack 8", at Crestwood Elementary School which had a membership of at least 100 boys during each of his 7 years. Coaching youth sports was also a passion for Bill during this time.
In addition to immediate family, Bill also leaves behind in-laws and nieces/nephews: Ken and Linda Kellogg-daughter Penny Armagost (husband Chris and son Logan), Ron and Bonny Kellogg-daughter Lezlee Collier (son Jacob) and son Douglas Kellogg.
Many longstanding friendships were cultivated throughout his life. Bill's wishes were to acknowledge those of you who had touched him in so many ways.
Memorial services will be held at ST. LUKE'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 7337 Hubbard Ave, Middleton, at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, with the Rev. Heather Lampert presiding. Burial will be private.

Stuart McLean - Vinyl Cafe Coast to Coast Story Service (CD)
This product is currently sold out.
The 2002 release from Stuart McLean. This collection of stories is taken from CBC Radio concerts that were recorded in Banff, Toronto, Kingston, and Outremont. The recording engineers were Geoff Rowland, Al Lamden, Ron Skinner, Rob Selmanovic, and Pierre Plante. Yet another dose of Stuart in a complete CD package!
"The Vinyl Cafe is probably the CBC's, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, most successful weekend show. Its American counterpart would be Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and the funny stories the genial host of the Vinyl Cafe, Stuart McLean, tells are sort of like the News From Lake Wobegon without the politics, religion, and occasional high-horse. As a show, the Vinyl Cafe, when live, is a one-hour set of eclectic music by very different musicians and a story by Stuart McLean about Dave, the owner of a used record store called the Vinyl Cafe, his wife, Morley, their two kids and their neighbors." - The Serious Comedy Site

alot of luck hate in here, sour grapes we didnt get him?
andrew luck a bust, lol.
even in his losses he makes plays that make u ****ing say ''wow this guy is going to be special''.
i do not know his stats off the top of my head, but what i do know is just by watching the guy, this guy is going to be ****ing awesome.
it sucks we did not get him, and not only that, he is in our ****ing conference for the next 15 years.
Well, the Colts won two games last season and somehow won 11 games this season.
It has to be the team's desire to win for Pagano. Plus, their interim coach is better than a lot of head coaches currently in the league. How can the Colts get that lucky?
Luck might still be a bust. We'll have to see how he fares in the playoffs. Most of us should be able to watch the game next weekend since the Dolphins aren't playing. Can you imagine Luck v. Manning? LOL. Manning would make Indianapolis regret dumping him for sure!

American Academy of Ophthalmology has officially cautioned against the dangers of lash extensions and their glue, saying the addictive procedure can cause infections and swelling of the cornea and/or eyelid.We're a bunch of eyelash junkies over here at Cosmo—but as we recently reported, the
MORE FROM Cosmopolitan:
So, now is probably a good time to give you some alternative options to lengthening your lashes that don't involve extensions and the risk of looking like Quasimoto.
These formulas penetrate at the root of your lash line and stimulate the keratin (the protein that are lashes are made of) to lengthen, thicken, and fortify them.
Here are some over-the-counter serums you can swipe on to still score a fringe worth batting at the boys:
Urban Decay Lush Lash System, $42, sephora.com.-
This double-ended product allows you to apply the lash-growth serum onto your lash line with a skinny brush on one end, and then lets you distribute a lash conditioner directly onto your actual fringe with a mascara-like brush found on the opposite end.
Expect to see results with daily usage in four to six weeks.
Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner, $75, drugstore.com.-
With one quick swipe, once daily, you'll see longer, thicker lashes in about six weeks.
- Ophthalmologist reviewed
- Dermatologist reviewed
- Non-irritating
- Allergy tested
- Clinically tested
- Not tested on animals
One user's five-star review on drugstore.com raves: "... lashes are longer, darker and starting to curl."
SmartLash Eyelash Enhancer, $30, dermstore.com.-
Trace your lash line with this lash growth serum daily and you'll see results fast. We're talking increased fullness and thickness in 30 days, and optimal results in 60. This product can also be used on the brows for additional enhancement.
According to DermStore.com, SmartLash participants experienced up to a 68% increase in the appearance of their lash length based on a 60-day clinical study when product was applied twice per day.
Will you be trading in trips to your lash extension guru for a safer option?

The Bullet Drop
Credit: US Army

License: CC BY-NC 3.0
One of the fundamental concepts of physics, resolving motion into axial components, has traditionally been taught by describing how a bullet dropped and a bullet fired at the same height along the horizontal plane would strike the ground at the same time. In the experiment done, the Mythbusters use high-speed cameras to catch the exact moment that a bullet dropped and a bullet fired hit the ground.
Watch the Amazing Experiment
- Watch the Myth Busters Bullet Fired Drop below:
Why it matters
- By resolving vectors into their axial components, it becomes much easier to describe the world around you. Many of the quantities that are described and investigated in physics have both a magnitude and direction. Examples include acceleration, velocity, force and momentum. Even when the motion becomes too complex for the traditional left-right, front-back and up-down (\begin{align*}y\end{align*} , \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and \begin{align*}z\end{align*}-axis), physicists have defined different coordinate systems to help describe these motions.
- Once you are able to identify which axis an object is moving along or being acted upon, the steps needed completely describe its motion become trivial. Explaining the world in the language of physics is simply the process of describing the equations of motion for a given object.
Can You Apply It?
Using the information provided above, answer the following questions.
- In the Myth Busters video of the experiment above, it shows that the time difference between the two bullets hitting the ground is approximately 40 milliseconds. Explain why the experiment was still considered a success?
- Imagine a bullet that had a mass that was 10 times as large as the bullet fired. Would the result be different? Explain.
- What would the consequences be if the bullet that was filled hit the ground significantly sooner than the bullet that was dropped? (Assume that it was not due to experimental error.)

Updated on 1 July 2013
Singapore: Australia-based Reva Medical has initiated enrolment of patients for its ReZolve 2 bioresorbable scaffold at multiple clinical sites in Australia and New Zealand. This is in addition to previously announced sites in Brazil, Germany and Poland, which began enrolling patients earlier this year. Up to 125 patients are expected to be enrolled in REVA's clinical trial to provide the data necessary to apply for European CE Marking.
ReZolve2 is a drug-eluting fully bioresorbable scaffold designed to provide all the proven benefits of a permanent metal drug-eluting stent, with the advantage of resorbing from the body when it is no longer needed and allowing the artery to return to its natural function.
The first patient implant in Australia was performed by Dr David Muller, director of Cardiac Catheterization at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, and the co-principal investigator for Reva's CE trial.
"I am very intrigued by the potential clinical benefits that may be realized with the shift from permanent metal stents to temporary scaffolds that dissolve from the body," commented Dr Muller. "Reva's device is unique among bioresorbable scaffolds in that it offers ease of inflation and complete scaffold visibility under x-ray. We are excited to play a significant role in evaluating this novel technology in patients."
Enrollment in Reva's CE trial is expected to be complete by the end of September 2013, with up to 30 clinical sites participating.

Committed the first patch to the 126.96.36.199 tree I concider to be in good working order.
LinuxPMI's 220.127.116.11 tree is a collection of hunks, in one giant patch. Again. I keep getting code dumped on me in this fashion, and have to go through it line by line. In this tree, I've decided to push patches through my kernel coding standards process as far as they'll "reasonably" go, so I can spot even more bugs. At least theres only 93 hunks in this tree, unlike the 322 hunks in the 2.6.17 tree. That said, I know there are cases in the 2.6.17 tree where bad code was replaced by *worse* code, which is why I haven't just flattened the patches, like the 18.104.22.168 tree started.
I made it most of the way through patch 48 on the 2.6.17 tree last night. Its a combination of socket layer wrappers to make our other code more readable, and a function for registering our kernel thread. What a combination!
I'll likely be done with patch 48 sometime tonight. Once i get out of the hpc/ directory, the patches should be much easier to commentary, and I'm almost there. From where I'm sitting, I've done most of the 'ugly' work over the last year, and am about ready to start work that will actually improve the quality of the code base itself.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
1. The link goes to the AV-7 Mobile Cannon, not this ship.
2. Since when is it an EE exclusive? I haven't seen info that anywhere else. EE's the only place I've seen it, and the date keeps going back. Now that the Rex packaging look is done, I assumed these wouldn't make it to stores, but its exclusivity is new to me.
The EE Exclusive was a typo and I fixed the link... I rushed the article, my fault.
Typos fixed, Boba Fettishes tickled!
"tickle your Boba-Fettish?" Really? That must have been an industry solicited message. I don't sense that phrase is SirSteve's style. In an example of great literary prose, he might have written, "Well, here THIS is." ;') Still, going to pick at least one up.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
JT - yep, it came directly from EE's website so I bet it was Adam as well.
I had pre-ordered this not long after this article was written, but they kept pushing the date back every month. It still says "June 2012" on the site, but I doubt that very much, so I went ahead and canceled my EE order and bought it on eBay. The EE version would have been $38 shipped, and it was $45 shipped on eBay, but it'll be nice to have it and be done with it. It'll be the Canadian package version, but that's better than the nonexistent version.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Aaaaaand EE just went ahead and cancelled EVERYONE'S orders since Hasbro discontinued the item. Good thing I got mine on eBay just a few days ago - I bet the prices will jump again. But hopefully this will get re-released anyway since it'll be in Season Five.
I went ahead an ordered one off of ebay for $54. I cringed when I did that, but odds are we might not see this again with all the problems Hasbro has been having lately with distribution.

Enjoy flavors from the Mediterranean. Feta cheese, roasted peppers and bacon bake into a great-tasting, impossibly easy pie.
You're frying anyway, so why not fry a double batch of bacon and store the extra in your freezer? Having fried bacon on hand is great for sandwiches, seasoning vegetables and making another Impossibly Easy Pie.
Roasted red peppers leftover? Add to tossed salads, roll up in wraps, mix with pasta or blend with cream cheese for a tasty spread.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

Porky made a surprise entrance into our lives. We were considering adding another bully to our family when we met someone who had a bully that they just couldn't keep. We fell in love with him immediately and have loved him ever since. He loves to meet you at the door with an excited wiggle and snuggle when you get home. He will sit on your lap for scratches or roll over on the floor for belly rubs. Porky is such a loving little boy, but don't get me wrong he is a wild man! He loves to play with his toys and then turn around and steal your shoe. Things are never dull with Porky around; you never know what he is going to do next. Pork and Jasmine have become such a huge part of our lives that we cannot imagine life without them. Thank you for making Porkchop the Bulldog of the Month!
