Australian Immigration Minister Chris Bowen who is currently in Sri Lanka has been under pressure from rights groups to ask Sri Lanka about its treatment of political activists and asylum-seekers.
More than 30 activists have disappeared since October, and some asylum-seekers deported from Australia and Britain say they were detained and tortured by police.
Bowen says he'll raise these issues in private discussions during his scheduled visit but he says those returned from Australia are safe, because they have been found not to be genuine refugees.
Meanwhile, the visiting minister met Minister of Justice Rauf Hakeem this morning and also held discussions with Attorney General Eva Wanasundara.
The Ministry of External Affairs also confirmed that the visiting minister will meet Deputy Minister Neomal Perera and discuss matters pertaining to Australian migration and citizenship.
An aviation agreement will also be signed this evening while the minister will hold a special press briefing as well.
The External Affairs Ministry also noted that the Australian Minister will meet Secretary of Defence Gotabhaya Rajapakse tomorrow.

This confectioners' sugar lollipop mold tutorial from King Arthur Flour is one of those great ideas that totally stopped me in my tracks. Instead of getting hard candy stuck in molds, why not just use confectioners' sugar to make your own? Plus, depending on what object you use to make the indentations, you can get really creative with shapes and color layering!

At least once a year, its helpful to look at Mary Meeker's excellent PowerPoint presentation on Technology and Internet Trends. Meeker is a managing director at Morgan Stanley and a leader of the investment bank's global technology research team. The link above is her slide deck from the Future of Media conference presented last month in New York.
Meeker's in-depth analysis is viewed from a global perspective, and it provides a great deal of insight into where technology and the Internet are headed. The presentation is filled with salient facts for business executives and marketing professionals, but a few I found particularly illuminating included:
• We are already moving beyond the Internet era to the Cloud era (broadband + wireless).
• In 2007, the stock return on the S&P 500 Tech has outpaced the regular S&P 500 by about 4 to 1.
• Technology is evolving faster than most businesses are able to assimilate and deploy new products and services.
• 91 percent of mobile users keep their phone within one meter of reach 24x7.
• Broadband speeds will need to increase—it takes 40x more bandwidth to stream a DVD quality movie compared with a typical mp3 file.
• China has pulled even with the United States in what is referred to as the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) index.
• Users spent 20 billion minutes on YouTube this year—a 255 percent increase over last year.
• Only 2 percent of public tech companies have created almost 100% of the wealth in that sector.
...and there is a lot more where that came from.

California has landed one of the biggest fish in the Pacific to head its stem cell venture. In a meeting late last Friday, the board of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) approved the appointment of Alan Trounson as the institute's president. Trounson, one of Australia's premier stem cell researchers and director of stem cell research at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, joins an international roster of big-name researchers who have been lured by California's $3 billion stem cell research program, launched in 2004.
"Things are booming in California right now," says former CIRM president Zach Hall, who notes that Trounson's varied experience makes him "almost uniquely qualified for the job."
Trounson, 61, began his career working on sheep and cattle reproduction but quickly made a name for himself in human in vitro fertilization. He was neck-and-neck with Jamie Thomson of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison in the race to cultivate the first human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines in 1998. He is well versed in the managerial and entrepreneurial end of the stem cell world as founder of a number of Australian biotech companies and co-founder of ES Cell International, a Singapore-based company that recently halted work on human ES cell therapies (Science, 20 July, p. 305).
Those who know Trounson say his personal skills should smooth the way for cooperation with CIRM's high-profile board chair Robert Klein, who has more than once ruffled colleagues with his propensity to take unilateral actions. "Alan is charming, ... a lovely human being," says stem cell researcher Evan Snyder of the Burnham Institute for Medical Research in San Diego, California. Researcher John Gearhart of Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Maryland, says he is "politically savvy," in addition to having a "very broad base of knowledge."
Trounson is one of several major stem cell scientists whom Australia has lost to the United States lately, including Martin Pera, now at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and Paul Simmons, now at the University of Texas, Houston. Trounson himself has made it clear he regards the CIRM presidency as the capstone of his career. "This is the biggest job in stem cells in the world," he told the Australian paper The Sunday Age.
Trounson is expected to move to California by the end of the year and receive a salary of $475,000 plus additional allowance for San Francisco's high-priced housing. CIRM has already given out about $200 million in grants, and this month the state will start selling the first $250 million worth of bonds to finance the venture, which until now has been supported by private contributions and a state loan.

BWW Reviews: Sally Edmundson Channels A Fashionable Legend in FULL GALLOP
FULL GALLOP offers a peek into the life of a cultural icon, and yet the effect is like hanging out with an eccentric aunt. Walking into the Arena Theater is like being welcomed into Diana Vreeland's living room. It is detailed, rich, and sophisticated, not unlike Sally Edmundson's portrayal of the infamous editor and columnist for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Edmundson lives in the role like a perfectly-cut pair of cigarette pants. Her voice is appropriately smoky and dour, her mannerisms pitch-perfect, and her connection with the audience is warm and rambling. This is a one-woman show, playing out like an extended monologue, and Edmundson never wavers.
Mark Hampton and Mary Louise Wilson have written a script that is by turns funny, warm, and introspective. Diana Vreeland is a goldmine for any playwright; she was bold, sassy, tender, and intuitive. There are many quotes written into the dialogue that are sharp and intelligent, and Edmundson delivers them like the pro she is. A saucy quote by Joan Crawford garners big laughs. FULL GALLOP almost feels like a retrospective of French and American society and culture, and Vreeland is the perfect icon to stand as narrator. The commentary about color and specifications in the use of the color red is funny and deliciously analytical.
The set is in the style of theatre-in-the-round, which adds to the coziness of the play, but the lack of sound support was frustrating at times. When Edmundson turns away from a section of the audience some of the volume is lost, and some lines are unheard. A lavalier or a couple of hanging microphones would've helped a lot.
Jodi Bobvrosky's set is thorough and satisfying, with careful attention to detail and color. The set design extends a little into the audience, which creates an appealing sense of intimacy.
Stages Repertory Theatre is known for producing exciting contemporary theatre. FULL GALLOP is a worthy addition to their collection of productions.

Is "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" the precise phrase? If so, what exactly does it mean? Who conined the phrase? And is it still taught as a correct principle in biology?
: : : : Ahem
: : : Meaning something like 'birds of a feather flock together' is it?
: : No, not that. It means that an individual goes through a succession of stages in its development that resembles the stages of development that its species went through when evolving. For example, human fetuses at one (early) stage of development have gills.
: : I don't know who coined the phrase or whether the principle is still thought to be correct.
: R.Berg's explanation is correct. The concept, however, is wrong, although it still appears in many textbooks even today. The German biologist Ernst Haeckel coined the phrase (as well as the word 'phylogeny') near the end of the 19th C. For more information, see http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/haeckel.html%20as%20a%20starting%20place.%20You'll find more by googling on the phrase, or on Haeckel's name; but be aware that 75% of what you'll find online is total BS; look for sites sponsored by univerities.
When googling use 'site:edu' as one of the required search phrases to get mostly universities and fewer BS hits.
: : Looks like I'm a little late for the main discussion of this topic but I have a burning question: If Creationists are correct, that Ernst Haeckel's theory is BS, what explains my personal nursing experience of having cared for little newborns who exhibited gills and, yes, even little Henry who had gills, a significant tail and other birth "anomalies"? I am just asking for information here; I do not, as apparently others in the discussion have, underlying religious issues to deny or confirm.

It took a half for Iowa State to show up for its season opener. But once the Cyclones decided to play, they swamped Southern University to post an 82-59 victory in the non-conference season opener for both teams.
ISU trailed by double figures on multiple occasions in the first half, but managed to take a two-point lead at halftime. Then Iowa State overwhelmed the Jaguars in the second half to improve to 1-0 on the season. The Cyclones' next game is Monday night at home against Alabama A&M.
Three Cyclones had double-doubles on the night as Iowa State held a whopping 59-33 rebounding advantage. Sophomore Percy Gibson scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Senior Will Clyburn went for 16 and 10 and freshman Georges Niang had 15 points and 12 rebounds in his first game as a Cyclone.
Niang knocked down a three-point field goal in the closing seconds of the first half to put Iowa State up at the break, 41-39. That capped a 20-7 run by the Cyclones after Southern had built a 32-21 lead with 7:29 to play in the opening half. ISU cranked up the defensive intensity to start the second half and led 50-43 at the first media timeout.
Clyburn ignited a 7-0 spurt a few minutes later with a baseline drive and dunk and moments later, Iowa State was up 66-50 about midway through the half. Southern never got closer than 14 points after that. Iowa State's biggest lead of the game was 26 points on two occasions in the second half.
In the first half, it didn't look like Iowa State was going to be able to enjoy such a big lead in the game. Southern jumped out to a 16-6 lead within the first six minutes. ISU went on a 13-2 run for a 19-18 lead, but the visiting Jaguars answered with a 14-2 run of their own. Southern's Derick Beltran had 18 points in the first half and led all scorers in the game, finishing with 26 points.
Despite winning comfortably, Iowa State left the Hilton Coliseum floor knowing it had plenty to work on. The Cyclones had 17 first-half turnovers and finished the game with 21, compared to just 12 assists. ISU made barely over half its free throws, connecting on 15-of-28 in the game. Iowa State shot 44 percent from the field overall and 33 percent from three-point range.
It was a rough night for starting point guard Korie Lucious in his first game on the floor for the Cyclones after sitting out last season as a transfer from Michigan State. Lucious made just 1-of-12 shots from the floor, a three-pointer, and also had seven turnovers to go with six assists.

Julia O'Malley's column on the treasures of Fuji Gifts, the late Art Wallace's shop on the Old Glenn Highway in Chugiak, has prompted a fair amount of comment and memories.
It was good place, and that lent something extra to the gifts bought there. Art Wallace would wrap them well as he talked with you. Or you might browse as he wrapped and chatted with another shopper. You might meditate and marvel at the pool hewn of rock, the work of Wallace's own hands, where a large Buddha smiled. The place was hand-built and owner stocked, nothing corporate about it.
Whether a picnic basket bought for an anniversary, or wind chimes for a wedding, you felt as if the gift included a touch of the classical music Wallace favored and light wind in the windsocks outside.
Can't get that ordering online.

As promised, I'm going to tell you the story about the 48-star flag that is now on display in the showcase at the Ray County Courthouse.
On Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1948, Harry Truman slept at the Elms Hotel. He ate a ham and cheese sandwich and went to bed at 9 o'clock.
When he woke up the next morning, he had officially been elected to serve four more years as our commander and chief.
The flag I'm referring to was flying over the Elms as Harry S. Truman slept in room 300. It hung for many years in a closet under a staircase at the Elms. In the 1970s, a local guy who worked at the hotel was asked to clean out the closet and found it. Several flags were hanging on coat hangers and this one had a note attached that told its story.
Harry Truman was in Excelsior Springs, but Forrest Smith was the star attraction in Richmond on Election day in 1948. The Richmond News on Friday, Oct. 29, 1948, had a half- page ad announcing "Forrest Smith Day" in Richmond.
"Welcome to Everyone to Attend Forrest Smith Day Monday, Nov. 1, 7 p.m. – West Side Square – Richmond. Band Concert – "Hillbilly" Musicians. Prominent Political Speakers. Come Shake Hands With Our Next GOVERNOR. Sponsored by the Ray County Democratic Central Committee."
The ad had a picture of Forrest Smith, a Harry S. Truman campaign button, an American Flag and galloping donkeys all around the border.
The following Monday, on Nov 1, 1948, The Richmond News gave a few more details. "WELCOME HOME GOVERNOR FORREST SMITH. Tonight's homecoming for Forrest Smith, Democratic candidate for governor, will start at 7 o'clock in the circuit courtroom. The program will include. 7 p.m. concerts by the Richmond High School and Lee Hill Billy Bands. 7:45 p.m. Judge H.E. Spencer will present Howard Keel, chairman of the Democratic County Committee. Mr. Keel will introduce the Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Eugene P. Hamilton, who in turn will introduce the visiting celebrates and the honor guest, Forrest Smith."
On Wednesday, Nov. 3, The Richmond News headlines said, "TRUMAN IN AS PRESIDENT – SMITH VICTOR". The victory was bittersweet for Forrest Smith because his "Welcome Home" rally took a rather sad turn.
"DR. HAMILTON DIED AT RALLY. Dr. Eugene P. Hamilton, member of a widely known family of Missouri physicians, died here on a speakers' stand as he prepared to introduce Forrest Smith, Democratic candidate for governor. Dr. Hamilton, a boyhood friend of the candidate's, had just began the speech when he collapsed. His nephew, Dr. Buford G. Hamilton, said death was caused by coronary occlusion. A large landowner near here, Dr. Hamilton was 68 years old and had been retired from his practice in Kansas City since 1938.
"LARGE CROWD AT RALLY. The rally that had attracted several hundred persons to the courthouse was canceled after the unexpected tragedy. The Rev. Perry Taylor, pastor of the Methodist Church here, dismissed the audience, plainly shocked by the turn of events. Smith planned to close his campaign with a hometown rally here among his old friends and acquaintances. He and Dr. Hamilton had been classmates at Woodson Institute, an academy that was once in Richmond."
Due to rain, the rally had been moved inside to the circuit courtroom. The large crowd was packed in the courtroom but everyone left after the pastor offered a prayer. Dr. Hamilton's death certificate shows his official time of death at 8:30 p.m.
The newspaper didn't go into many details, but I did get to hear this story from someone that was present. Like many other events at the Ray County Museum, fate stepped in once again and brought me the rest of the story.
One day last fall I was sitting in the library at the museum reading this newspaper account about Eugene Hamilton and in walked Bill Chenault, who always stops by the museum when he is in town.
I started telling him this story and soon found out he knew all the details because he had attended the rally with his parents as a young boy. Bill said Dr. Hamilton had his arm up in the air and was explaining a story when he collapsed. It took a few minutes for everyone to figure out it was not part of his speech.
Dr. Eugene Hamilton was survived by his wife, Emily Rodelle, and two sons, Simpson and Fowler Hamilton. He also had two sisters, a brother and five grandchildren. He was a mason, a veteran of W.W. I and a member of the Christian Church.
He had been a doctor all his life, but he was also a man who loved farming due to his many farming ancestors. Dr. Hamilton is buried at the Sunny Slope Cemetery next to his wife, who lived another 18 years after his death.

AI have a question.... Ive looked through 17 pages of "dowel rods" threads and my question is still not answered... So please bear with me ladies...
1- I'm stacking a 4 tier cake (10' 8' 6' 4 (mickey ears) and i have the wilton plastic dowel rods. Now they are "opened " in the center and as I'm making my "practice cake" I had no idea as to what to do next... do i take the cake out of the center of the dowel? do i wash the dowel after taking it out of the cake after being marked or does it matter?
2) I am stacking the cake at the location (its an hr drive), do i still need to dowel the center of the entire cake? or should that be skipped since the cake will be at the location?
thank you ladies in advance!!
From what I've seen just push the wilton dowels in and leave as is. You might make a mess taking it out and putting them back in.
As far as the dowel is concerned I would put it in just to be on the safe side.
1. Taking the cake out of the center isn't necessary. In fact, it probably makes it more stable. I usually don't do that with my cakes, although I will admit it is a good way to sample the center of your cakes!
I also didn't wash my dowels...I didn't see a reason to. But if you are worried about the mark from marking the length, just score them with your knife instead of using a pencil or marker or whatever you were using.
2. No center dowel would be necessary.
Good luck!
thanks for the reply cookie!!!!
as far as the dowel taking it out- I guess i mean once i take the dowel out to cut it after i've marked it. would I wash it since its already out of leave the cake thats inside it there? or just push it out?
APs. I don't use wilton dowels. I use "Boba straws" . On average they come 50 in a pack for $4. They are straws used in bubble tea. Really wide and sturdy perfect dowels.
Plus one edge is pointed almost like a spear so when you do measure and cut it's easier to handle w less mess.
They can be purchased on Amazon or in any Asian product store.
Just thought about it...measure w the wilton and snip. Leave about a 1/4 inch space between where you cut the dowel to the top of the cake. So that the dowel is a tad beneath the top of each cake top.
AOk, no I've never seen people take it completely out just to the point of measure, snip and stick bk in.
Ok cool thanks!
btw the Boba straws, are they long enough?
The wilton plastic dowels are about 12 in long, are they about the same length?
AThe boba straws come in diff sizes I think the ones I purchased were 8 or 9 in. I will take a pic and upload.if you need longer stick w wilton. I don't know that the boba straws come in that size.
Put one dowel in, mark the length, pull it out, lay it beside the others and mark them all and cut so they are all the same length. No need to wash the one you used to mark the length since it will just be going right back in. You only need the long center dowel if you are traveling with the tiers stacked.
http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/1212145/13460307/0/1278992957/sewing_gauge_metal_ruler.jpg I use one of these. $4 at Joann's, in the sewing department. It's called a hem ruler/sewing ruler.
Ok thank you cookie! i'm on amazon right now looking for them :)
Dennette- Thank you, thats what i thought...I just want to make extra sure and be on the safe side with this...
AZ- wow i'm not good with tools at all lol...But i think my fiancee has this downstairs. Thank you for the info! these wilton plastic rods are a little tough to cut...the serrated knife, i feel like i'm not cutting them right..
Thank you COButterfly! Ha! i thought about eating the cake too, not just throw it out in the trash...I dont like wasting cake!!!
Amazon link for Boba Straws
Wilton also carries 12 pk 12 in wooden dowels at walmart for $2 or $3 !!

Report: Miami thinks Fernandez wants $30M/year
The Miami Marlins front office is under the impression that pitcher Jose Fernandez will seek $30 million per year when he hits free agency in 2018, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Fernandez, 23, missed big chunks of the 2015 season while dealing with a shoulder injury, but was dominant in the 11 starts he made. His 6–1 record and 2.92 ERA translated into trade talks among some of the league's big-money franchises immediately after the conclusion of the season.
One major player in the Fernandez trade talks was the Los Angeles Dodgers, although the asking price was thought to be too high.
• Joe Mauer cites concussion symptoms for blurred vision at plate
According to Jackson, the Marlins have no interest at keeping Fernandez for a $30 million price tag, and will either let him walk in free agency or look for a trade before that point.

I was wondering if anyone attended the (annual?) Mills Farm Brunch last year in Athens and if you recommend it. The features editor of the ABH had an article about it this week and said it would be this Sunday from 11-2 out at 150 Harve Mathis Road. The dishes sound good: Red Mule Polenta with Goat Cheese, Poached Egg, Truffled Hollandaise and Shaved Country Ham; Saffron infused double cream Vermont white cheddar Red Mule grits with dry rubbed hickory smoked pork and butter bean tomato chow-chow; and fried griddlecakes with country sausage, green tomato jam and cane syrup. What a mouthful to have to say!

The California's Department of Financial Institutions (CDFI) has issued a cease and desist warning to the Bitcoin Foundation on the grounds that the organization does not have the proper permit/license to engage in the business of money transmission in the state of California.
According to the letter, if the Bitcoin Foundation doesn't comply, it'll be subjected to severe punishments which range from monetary fines to imprisonment. The cease and desist warning is merited in almost all facets, but the according to Jon Matonis, a member on Bitcoin Foundation's Board of Directors, the CDFI has negated the fact that the Bitcoin Foundation is a 'nonprofit' organization.
Furthermore, as Matonis points out, the foundation "does not engage in… the owning, controlling, or conducting of money transmission business." Rather, its main purpose is to "standardize and promote the open source Bitcoin protocol and they receive generous support from individuals and corporations to advance those objectives."
In his closing statements in a piece posted on Forbes, Matonis suggests that Bitcoin has the potential to compete with today's currencies, and that 'lawful' businesses are already in the process of setting up infrastructure to support the technology.
"Freedom of choice in currencies is probably the most important free speech issue of our time," says Matonis.
The Bitcoin Foundation has garnered massive amounts of attention from both novices to deep-pocketed investors. Big timers include the likes of Peter Thiel (co-founder of PayPal) and OpenCoin (a Silicon Valley venture funds backed by companies like Google).

Tackle your fears without a therapist
Blood, needles, doctors and dentists most common medical phobiasHamilton, ON � Martin Antony, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University, estimates that 30 million North Americans have some sort of medical phobia, which, as he states in the introduction of his new book, makes the subject almost commonplace.
That's one of the reasons why Antony and his colleague Dr. Mark Watling wrote Overcoming Medical Phobias. The book is part self-help and part case study, and provides exercises and techniques on how to come to grips with many phobias. The best strategy to deal with a phobia the doctors say is to tackle it head-on but cautiously, using a multi-step hierarchy. "By taking small steps," the authors write, "you stand a better chance of being successful. And success at each small step will bring you closer to your ultimate goal."
The most common phobias, says Antony, deal with blood, needles, doctors and dentists. These are often from a person's reactions to the first experience which may include pain or fainting, or witnessing the reaction of a loved one.
While there is no shortage of people with medical phobias, Antony says there is a surprising lack of helpful advice on the shelves. "No books are available that talk about a particular fear," he says, "and yet the more specific the information about a phobia, the more successful the solutions will be in helping someone overcome them."
The book is not meant for the mildly squeamish; it is designed for those whom their particular phobia presents an obstacle to normal daily living.
Based on techniques developed at the Anxiety Treatment and Research Centre at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Antony's and Watling's approach is a step-by-step method that requires the person, without the help of a therapist, to track his or her progress in a methodical way.
"The centre uses a semi-structured interview to assess symptoms for each anxiety disorder. We also use a series of other tools, such as self-report and clinician-administered scales, diaries and monitoring forms, to assess the various features of anxiety disorders, and determine the severity of the problem," says Antony.
Martin Anthony is available for interviews.

I want to split a sentence into words so "foo bar" is split into the two parts "foo" and "bar". I cannot use any standard functions like strtok(...) so I have to do this manually...
I've done many types of implementations of this already, but one and the same bug occurs every time. That is, if I type four words, it works for the first three. If I type three words, the first two works. If I type two words, only the first one works. It's not like it doesn't store the last word correctly either when i'm talking about "not working"... instead it adds an unknown amount of empty chars at the end so it appears correct, but isn't correct.
For debugging, i've added three dots "..." after each word when printing the values to see if anything was wrong. Here's an example of output:
Sentence: "hello wide world"
Word 1: "hello..."
Word 2: "wide..."
Word 3: "world
As you can see, the last word for some reason is indeed correct but some kind of junk data is added at the emd.
I don't understand what i'm doing wrong... I would appreciate some help.
Code looks like this right now:
Code:char sentence[70]; char words[3][25]; int a = 0; int i = 0; int index = 0; while (sentence[a] != '\0') { if (sentence[a] == ' ') { words[index][i] = '\0'; i=0; a++; index++; } // SPACE detected words[index][i++] = sentence[a++]; } words[index][i] = '\0';

At least seven Palestinians arrested in West Bank as Israeli soldier, Palestinian wounded in Gaza Strip
At least five Palestinians were arrested by Israeli troops in two separate raids in the West Bank, witnesses and Palestinian security sources said.
Witnesses told WAFA news agency that Israeli troops rolled into the town of Yatta, south of Hebron, and arrested Palestinians.
"Israeli undercover units, supported by Israeli troops, moved into the town, using civil vehicles," an eyewitness said. "They stormed several houses and arrested a number of citizens," he added.
The undercover units seized civilians' cars and deployed in the town, witnesses said.
Meanwhile, two Palestinian brothers were arrested by Israeli troops in the Aida refugee camp, located north of Bethlehem, Palestinian security sources said.
The sources said that Israeli troops stormed the camp amid intensive fire and arrested Monjid, 18, and Majdi, 27, al-Dibis, and led them to an undisclosed place.
Elsewhere, Israeli forces wounded also Sunday a Palestinian civilian and stormed other cities in the occupied territories, sources said.
Sources in the northern Gaza Strip city of Beit Hanoun told the official news agency that Israeli soldiers opened heavy machine gunfire at civilians and their houses, wounding a civilian with a live bullet in his shoulder.
They added that Israeli forces, backed by tanks, armoured vehicles and U.S. made Apache helicopters, closed all the main entrances of the city and prevented civilians from moving in-outside, imposing a tight curfew.
According to Israeli media reports, Palestinian snipers opened fire on an armored Israeli military jeep near the Gaza Strip town of Khan Yunis on Sunday, wounding a soldier in the neck.
The soldier, lightly wounded by shrapnel from the sniper fire, was evacuated under heavy Palestinian fire. He is under treatment in hospital.
In the meantime, witnesses said 13 Israeli tanks rolled into the eastern part of the Jabalia refugee camp and heavily shelled civilians' houses, inflicting severe damages.
They added that Israeli tanks took a new position near the Zemmo juncture and shelled civilians' houses, completely destroyed a house and totally burned another.
In the West Bank, Palestinian security sources said that Israeli troops rumbled into Nablus City and seized a building owned by al-Serafy family, turning it into a military post, adding that the building overlooks Balata refugee camp of the City.
Also Sunday, Israeli troops seized three Palestinian houses in the West Bank city of Jenin, witnesses said. (Albawaba.com)

Enterprise Aims CIWS Right on Target
Navy NewsStand
Story Number: NNS100527-05
By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class (EXW) Stacy D. Laseter, USS Enterprise Public Affairs
USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea (NNS) -- USS Enterprise (CVN 65) conducted a precision aim and calibration test fire of her aft close-in weapon system (CIWS) May 24.
The ship had tested the system several times while at sea to ensure the system would work properly during this live–fire exercise.
"This is basically preliminary testing," said Fire Controlman 2nd Class (SW) Maurice B. Richardson. "We have to make sure that it tracks and shoots effectively."
The CIWS shoots 4,500 22 millimeter tungsten rounds per minute. It is the last line of defense for carriers, so ensuring that it is in top working order is of the utmost importance to the ship and crew.
"The CIWS can track missiles or other threats from one nautical mile away," said Richardson.
The success of the test fire was in large part the result of the Sailors that operate the system and keep its maintenance schedule a top priority.
"The CIWS fired all 500 rounds without a hitch," said Richardson. "We are happy that it's over because that is a major item that must be operational for the ship."
Hundreds of systems across the ship must be tested, inspected and certified before the ship can deploy. Since departing from the ship's recent extended maintenance period, the crew has rapidly qualified in many areas.
Enterprise and Carrier Air Wing 1 are underway conducting work-ups for the ship's 21st deployment.

My Transformers collectionMonday, March 2nd, 2009
This past weekend I moved in with my girlfriend, and to her disdain my Transformers collection came with me. I've been meaning to blog about my collection for awhile and since I had to unpack this was my best opportunity to do so.
About half way through taking the pictures Lyndsey took over, but I don't think you will notice the transition.
This book is all that remains of my childhood Transformers collection. That makes it 20-22 years old. I plan to scan it and post it's contents as a blog similar to what I did with BMX in Action 1987.
These are my newer comic books. The first book is a collection of the greatest battles between Optimus Prime. It's a pretty decent collection of stories and a few are mentioned in the 10 most notable deaths of Optimus Prime over on Topless Robot.
The rest of the comics are newer DW versions, these ones all have pretty stellar artwork with the GI Joe cross over being the best of the bunch. The Transformers have never looked better in print before this series.
The last one at the bottom is a prequel to the movie that my friend Grant picked up on free comic book day.
These 20-22 year old UK exclusive comics ended up in my hands courtesy of my friend Maz who lives in Scotland. Over about the course of a year she would find comics (lord knows how or where) and mail them to me randomly. It was a pretty rad thing of her to do and I am glad to have them in my collection.
I have too many Transformers movies, or I should say too many different copies of the same movies. Of the 5 picured there is only 3 different feature length amounts of content, and the Ultimate Battle one sucks (too much Armada).
Worst yet is I still don't have all of the bonus features of the new film I am missing the one that has the Transforming case.
This is the only thing in my collection that I made. It took a long time to finish but I am now the only person who has an Autobot symbol made of Perler beads that doesn't suck.
This is my group of normal size Autobots and one Megatron. In order of appearance: Blue streak (G1* reproduction), Megatron (G2* Ultimate battle version), Sandstorm (Original 1986 triple changer), Jazz (G1 heroes mini bot), and Sideswipe (G1 Reproduction).
(G1 = Generation 1 [1984-1991] G2 = Generation 2[1992-?])
Alternate Modes:
Blue streak was a gift from Lyndsey, and actually re kick started my figure collection, Megatron, Jazz, and Sideswipe I bought (Sideswipe from Value Village hence the missing tires) and my friend Rachel gave me Sandstorm for Christmas one year.
Next is my collection of arguably everyone's favorite, and most famous Transformer Optimus Prime. I have three so far, and I plan to get at least one more.
From left to right; Ultimate Battle Optimus Prime (Boxset with the Megatron above and the Ultimate Battle DVD), 20th (movie) Anniversary Optimus Prime, and Powermaster Optimus Prime (1988).
My brother gave me the 20th anniversary Prime but I bought the other two. The Powermaster version was actually purchased to replace the one I had stolen from me as a child (kid asked to borrow it then moved the next day) so I am really glad to have one back in my possession.
This shot is pretty cool since it shows the discrepancies between how Optimus Prime has been represented as a toy over the years, I guess it was up to toy manufactures discretion as to what artwork they used to base the toy molds on.
Powermaster Prime also folds out into a cool battle station, with Hi-q Transforming into a little robot to man the guns.
That's the sum of my collection right now minus the Movie game for ps2, seven or so Transformer shirts and a beat up Powermaster Optimus (cab) that sits on my desk from work.
One day I hope to have a bit bigger of a collection (nothing in the million dollar range) and a nice display case to put them in. But until then they sit in a cubby in the entertainment unit as a reminder to my gf that shes dating a nerd.

Grant to New Jersey Small Business Development Centers supports job creation
NEWARK, N.J. – Small businesses in New Jersey will soon have greater access to critical resources to help them start or grow their businesses and create jobs, thanks to a $1.3 million grant to SBA's New Jersey Small Business Development Center.
The funding was provided under a key provision of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 signed by the President last September, which provided $50 million in grants to SBA's Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) across the country to support job creation and retention within the small business community by providing in-depth business counseling and advice to entrepreneurs and small business owners.
The Jobs Act grants are a one-time funding intended to meet the critical need for business expansion and job creation, and are not intended to replace the core funding or the matching funds that the SBDCs require to sustain the program annually.
This one-time only grant to the New Jersey Small Business Development Center will allow it to support all 11 regional centers and satellite SBDCs throughout the state to aid small business in five main areas of concentration including international trade, technology commercialization, next stage growth, green initiatives, and innovation technology. SBDC has a regional office at Rutgers Business School in Newark.
"This is yet another example of the Small Business Jobs Act putting proven tools in the hands of America's entrepreneurs and small business owners," said SBA Regional Administrator, Jorge Silva-Puras. "SBA's extensive network of about 900 Small Business Development Centers continues to play a critical role in helping them grow businesses and create jobs. I'm pleased that these resources are being delivered quickly to hard-hit states like New Jersey."
The 11 regional SBDCs are located at:
Bergen Community College (Hackensack)
Brookdale Community College (Lincroft)
Kean University (Union)
New Jersey City University (Jersey City)
NJSBDC of Northwest Jersey (Hackettstown)
Raritan Valley Community College (Bridgewater)
Rutgers University (Camden)
Rutgers University (Newark)
Stockton University (Atlantic City)
The College of New Jersey (Ewing)
William Paterson University (Paterson)
For more information, contact SBA's Acting District Director John Villios at (973) 645-2481 or State Director of the NJSBDCs Brenda Hopper at 973-353-1927.

EU Policies and Cluster Development of Hydrogen Communities
This study takes on the issue of political and socio-economic conditions for the hydrogen economy as part of a future low carbon society in Europe. It is subdivided into two parts. A first part reviews the current EU policy framework in view of its impact on hydrogen and fuel cell development. In the second part an analysis of the regional dynamics and possible hydrogen and fuel cell clusters is carried out. The current EU policy framework does not hinder hydrogen development. Yet it does not constitute a strong push factor either. EU energy policies have the strongest impact on hydrogen and fuel cell development even though their potential is still underexploited. Regulatory policies have a weak but positive impact on hydrogen. EU spending policies show some inconsistencies. Regions with a high activity level in HFC also are generally innovative regions. Moreover, the article points out certain industrial clusters that favours some regions' conditions for taking part in the HFC development. However, existing hydrogen infrastructure seems to play a minor role for region's engagement. An overall well-functioning regional innovation system is important in the formative phase of an HFC innovation system, but that further research is needed before qualified policy implications can be drawn. Looking ahead the current policy framework at EU level does not set clear long term signals and lacks incentives that are strong enough to facilitate high investment in and deployment of sustainable energy technologies. The likely overall effect thus seems to be too weak to enable the EU hydrogen and fuel cell deployment strategy. According to our analysis an enhanced EU policy framework pushing for sustainability in general and the development of hydrogen and fuel cells in particular requires the following: 1) A strong EU energy policy with credible long term targets; 2) better coordination of EU policies: Europe needs a common understanding of key taxation concepts (green taxation, internalisation of externalities) and a common approach for the market introduction of new energy technologies; 3) an EU cluster policy as an attempt to better coordinate and support of European regions in their efforts to further develop HFC and to set up the respective infrastructure.

Update issues
Ok I have mandrake 10, and when I goto update it asks for cd4. (I searched forums and nothing came up) I read you can remove the check for cd4 but I have no idea how or where to find it.
The installation program should ask if you have all the disks listed in the first CD's database of CDs and the software packages they contain. Older versions asked this at the start of an installation or upgrade and version 10 should also. This should happen before package selection so all the packages on the disk you don't have will not be listed as selections.
Older installation programs also let you go backward in the installation routines, go from "select packages" back to "partition" or "choose security level". This is a shortcoming of installation programs starting with release 9.1. Later versions don't have easy ways to log in as root either. Damn improvements!
The request to insert the next CD also should ask if you have the requested disk. The download edition I ordered includes 4 disks. It was installing fine as an upgrade until my kid shut the power to my work area off. :-( So I reinstalled the old version (my favorite, 8.2 download ed.) and will redo the upgrade to 10.0. After doing so, I hope to render an assessment here.

Courier columnist Rob Witwer whet my appetite for a little repartee on politics with his recent comment that the next election cycle needs a leader like Ronald Reagan.
Granola and soy milk spewed all over the breakfast table as I guffawed. Ronald Reagan? Really? Whose American hero is he?
Reagan's popularity soared when an insane would-be assassin with weak ties to Evergreen gunned him down. Some wish to credit Reagan with the fall of the Berlin Wall, but history favors Mikhail Gorbachev on that one.
The full rich days of August bring the flowering of fringed gentians, the departure of some summer birds and gambling teenage elk enjoying their first taste of independence. The incredibly beautiful fringed gentians are the dominant wildflower in South Park in August.
A false economy
After four years as chief of Evergreen Fire/Rescue, Garry DeJong is leaving to become fire chief of the Lewiston Fire Department in Lewiston, Idaho. His last day will be Oct. 7, when his current contract ends.
Members of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board told the fire chief in June that his services were no longer needed and that they wanted to take the department in another direction, DeJong said.
The idea of hiring a district manager instead of a new fire chief was mentioned, DeJong said.
Sixteen Jeffco liquor providers were cited for providing alcohol to a minor in a recent large-scale sting operation, marking a significant increase in the percentage of stores cited over previous years.
Two of the establishments are in the Evergreen area: the Bradley station at 10800 Highway 73 and Fruit of the Vine Spirits & Wine at 19423 North Turkey Creek Road.
As part of the yearly sting operation, underage sheriff's cadets attempted to purchase beer without providing identification at 70 county businesses.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission voted July 22 to subpoena former county administrator Jim Moore in its investigation of former county commissioner Kevin McCasky, a decision that could bring to light information suppressed by multiple lawsuit settlements.
A program that teaches both entrepreneurship and suicide prevention to high school students will be expanding into more Colorado schools in the next three years.
The program, called the Fire Within, has been given a three-year $500,000 matching grant from the Adolph Coors Foundation. It will be introduced into as many as a dozen schools in August, about 25 along the Front Range next year and 50 schools across the state the following year, according to Sally Spencer-Thomas, executive director of the Carson J. Spencer Foundation, a nonprofit based in Genesee.
The West Metro firefighter who was cited for a misdemeanor in connection with a fire in the Soda Creek subdivision on March 21 has decided to contest the citation and is headed for a trial date in Jefferson County District Court on Sept. 26.
Joel Nathan Worley, 37, was working as a caretaker for a private property owner in the forest near the Soda Creek subdivision on March 18, three days before the fire broke out in windy weather the following Monday.
About 5 acres were scorched and about two dozen homes evacuated, but there was no structural damage.
Going to the Evergreen High School Old-Timers' Reunion is like taking a trip down Evergreen's memory lane.
The EHS alums — who graduated between 1932 and the early 1970s — have stories about what Evergreen was like decades ago, and it's hard to imagine a time without traffic lights, when Evergreen and Bergen Park were farther apart with only fields and trees in between, when it was a summer tourist destination, and when the houses were more like cabins.
Friends and family of Sherry Pilcher gathered to dedicate a new residents' library and lounge in her honor on Friday, July 15, at the Life Care Center of Evergreen.
About 75 people crowded into the dining room to listen to tributes to Pilcher's work at the center, where she was a certified nursing assistant from 1998 to 2001. She loved to read, said Kathy Price, admissions and marketing director, in a statement.

Oooh, store-bee! – Miss J,1
We've been enjoying the sunshine this weekend, which has been thirsty work and called for milkshakes! This recipe makes enough for two large sundae-style glasses of milkshake, and with 200g of strawberries per glass, I'm pretty sure it'll count as one of your five a day.
Here's what to do…
- 400g fresh strawberries
- 225g vanilla ice cream
- Wash and top the strawberries (save 2 for later)
- Chuck them in the blender (we used our Vitamix) and whiz until smooth
- Add the ice cream and whiz again until it has an even pink colour
- Pour carefully into the glasses and add a straw to each
- Grab the two strawberries you saved earlier and make a slit from the tip to 3/4 of the way up
- Attach the strawberries to the side of the glass
Simple, refreshing, delicious. If you wanted, you could add sugar or syrup, but I don't think it needs it as the strawberries are so sweet this time of year.
