Scottish independence: Governments to invest £1bn in Glasgow
Glasgow and its surrounding area are to benefit from more than £1bn of investment from the UK and Scottish governments.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the money from the City Deals scheme would help pay for roads, bus services, employment programmes and an airport rail link.
Both governments are to invest £500m in the scheme.
It came ahead of a speech on the referendum by the Mr Cameron in Perth.
Local authorities in the Clyde Valley area will also contribute £130m to the City Deals scheme, bringing the total to more than £1.1bn.
It was announced last year that Glasgow would be the first city in Scotland to benefit from City Deal status - an agreement between the UK Treasury and a city region.
Similar deals are already in place in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.
The UK government has claimed the investment could create 28,000 new jobs over the next 20 years, and could eventually generate around £1.75bn of economic growth in the city every year.
A joint article by Mr Cameron and Chief Treasury Secretary Danny Alexander in the Evening Times newspaper said: "Glasgow plans to create a £1.1bin infrastructure fund that will support projects such as the city centre-airport rail link, major improvements to the region's roads and bus network, and the development of new employment sites.
"The UK government is offering £500m of new funding to support this genuinely ambitious proposal, with local authorities in the region providing a further £130m.
"Building on this significant investment, we are inviting the Scottish government to match the UK government contribution.
"This vote of confidence in Glasgow will also help generate private sector money so businesses can flourish."
In exchange, Glasgow will take active measures to further reduce unemployment and help move people in low-paid jobs into higher-paid ones, Mr Cameron and Mr Alexander said.
Their article continued: "These are genuine powers that will change the fortunes of people across the region by creating new jobs, improving transport networks, boosting businesses and providing skills to young people and the long-term unemployed."
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon later confirmed the Scottish government would also invest £500m in the scheme.
She said: "I can confirm that the Scottish government will match in full the funding announced today by the UK government - a proposal which we understand consists of just £15m a year for the first five years, with future years' funding contingent on a review at the end of the first five year period.
"Of course, the UK's proposed £15m a year is dwarfed by the Scottish government's on-going investment in Glasgow.
"Investment in the Commonwealth Games, the new Southern General hospital, Fastlink and the Glasgow Subway improvements alone amounts to a massive £1.5bn in capital spend - that is Scottish government investment in jobs and infrastructure happening now.
"We have also provided capital funding of £1.1bn to Glasgow City Council since 2008.
"As well as matching the UK government funding now, we will also guarantee this funding to Glasgow when Scotland becomes independent."
'Silent majority'
The announcement was welcomed by Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson.
He said: "This is fantastic news for Glasgow and the Clyde Valley. It will help us to move to the next level in terms of economic growth for the city region. We have been working closely together with the UK government on this project for some time, and I am delighted to say it has borne fruit.
"The City Deal will bring tens of thousands of jobs, encourage growth and improve our competitiveness to bring benefits across the whole of the Clyde Valley area for the next 20 years."
Meanwhile, in his speech in Perth on Thursday afternoon, Mr Cameron urged the "silent majority" who support Scotland staying in the UK to speak up.
During the speech, ahead of the 18 September independence referendum, he said: "We've heard the noise of the nationalist few, but now it is time for the voices of the silent majority to be heard.
"The silent majority who feel happy being part of the UK; the silent majority who don't want the risks of going it alone; the silent majority who worry about what separation would mean for their children and grandchildren.
"With 77 days to go, we need the voices of the many to ring out across the land. For each one to realise that they are not alone because there are millions just like them."
Mr Cameron also argued that it is possible to be both a patriotic Scot and to want the country to stay in the UK.
Blair Jenkins, head of the Yes Scotland campaign for independence, said the PM should be more concerned by the "struggling majority" than the "silent majority", and said Tory austerity cuts were pushing more Scots into poverty.
Mr Jenkins said: "David Cameron is seriously out of touch if he thinks there is a silent majority in Scotland in favour of the Tories and their austerity agenda.
"The reality is there is a very vocal majority against David Cameron governing Scotland, with just a single Tory MP here.
"Thanks to the Westminster system, another 30,000 children in Scotland have been pushed into poverty because of Tory welfare cuts - yet the Westminster parties want to spend up to £4bn a year on new Trident nuclear weapons.
"Nothing better illustrates the need for a 'Yes' vote in September, so that we can put bairns before bombs."
Mr Jenkins added: "The majority David Cameron should be concerned about is the struggling majority, the very many people in Scotland who are faced with low salaries and the rising costs of living, and who will vote 'Yes' to a fairer and more prosperous Scotland."

BREAKING! Three Men Joined Lindsay on Her Car Chase and DUI
TMZ is reporting that there were three men in the car with Lindsay Lohan at the time of her car chase and subsequent DUI arrest. Jakon Sutter, Dante Nigro and Ronnie Blake have all talked to TMZ and revealed that they were hanging out with the boyfriend of Lindsay's assistant and got invited to a party in Malibu by Lindsay by proxy, basically. Then Dante got in the party with the boyfriend, while his two friends had to wait outside and said that Lindsay drank like a fish. Um, I guess it's not always bros before hos. Then, apparently, Lindsay's assistant and Lindsay got into it, the girl quit, Lindsay freaked and basically commandeered the Denali into which the three men had piled into and took off in a frenzy after the assistant. When one of the men tried to stop Lindsay, after realizing that the assistant was leading them to the police station, this is how she responded, according to TMZ:
"I'm a celebrity. I'm not going to get in trouble."
The two cars stopped in a parking lot near the cop shop. When police arrived, Dante says it seemed as if Lindsay told officers, "I wasn't driving. The black kid was driving."
This is all getting very crazy, yet oddly compelling. It's at least a hell of a lot more interesting to follow than the plot lines any of her recent movies. (Um, yeah, "Georgia Rule," I'm looking at you.)

greece bailout
What we're seeing is mostly theater — yes, a Greek tragedy starring supposedly evil Germans and supposedly defenseless Greeks, argues Laurence Kotlikoff.

As the leaders in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race sped west along the surface of the frozen Yukon River Friday in the quest to be first to Nome, there was a race of another sort going on almost 200 miles back in the upper reaches of the Innoko River country.
There, in a long-dead mining district known as the Inland Empire, a gaggle of teams at the tail end of the Iditarod pack were racing to survive.
It is a little-known fact that teams that cannot keep pace in the Last Great Race are regularly -- usually politely, but not always so -- asked to abandon the adventure. Usually, it is because they are judged to be in violation of dreaded Rule 36, the "competitiveness'' rule. Sometimes it is because race managers simply decide the conga line of mushers is stretching too far back from the Bering Sea coast toward the Iditarod start line in Willow.
Space physicist rockets down trail
Rule 36 used to set limits. It dictated "a team may be withdrawn that is out of the competition and is not in position to make a valid effort to compete. If a team has not reached McGrath within 72 hours of the leader, Galena within 96 hours of the leader or Unalakleet within 120 hours of the leader, it may be presumed that a team is not competitive. A musher whose conduct constitutes an unreasonable risk of harm to his/her dogs or other persons may also be withdrawn."
The last team at the back of the race on Thursday -- a team led by 31-year-old Yvonne Dabakk, a space physicist from Norway -- hit McGrath about 69 hours behind the leader. She did not linger long before scooting off to Takotna, where she caught up to another pack of tailenders and passed them.
By Friday afternoon, Dabakk was safely ahead of the curve, so to speak. She had put five mushers behind her, and race officials are not known for asking the fifth-to-last musher to quit. Or, for that matter, asking a group to abandon. There is safety in numbers, both literally and figuratively.
Literally, race officials believe mushers traveling together at the back of the Iditarod chain are in less danger, and thus they are given a little more latitude when it comes to Rule 36. Figuratively, there is always safety in numbers.
Five people asked to quit the race are sure to put up more of a fight than one, poor, tired, isolated musher. Canadian Hank DeBruin, an Iditarod finisher last year, fell victim to the lone-musher dilemma in 2010. What exactly transpired that year will never been known.
Race marshal Mark Nordman said he called the then 47-year-old rookie on the telephone in the Yukon River village of Nulato simply to check on how DeBruin was doing after a slow run up the river from Galena. DeBruin said Nordman leaned on him to quit and told him that if he didn't do it in Nulato, he'd be stopped when he hit the Bering Sea coast at Unalakleet. DeBruin threw in the towel, though he was far from happy about it.
On Friday night, 22-year-old Elliot Anderson from Wisconsin, a dog handler for four-time Iditarod champ Martin Buser, was in the DeBruin position. He was waiting out the race's one mandatory 24-hour stop in the ghost town of Ophir with the pack and its safety hours ahead of him on the trail.
And the rules have changed since DeBruin was ousted, despite the fact he was within the 96-hour window. Now, according to a revised Rule 36, a "team may be withdrawn that is out of the competition and is not in a position to make a valid effort to compete. The Race Marshal may consider, but is not limited to, weather, trail conditions and the overall pace of the race when invoking this rule. A musher whose conduct constitutes an unreasonable risk of harm to him/her, dogs or other persons may also be withdrawn."
In other words, the race marshal can pretty much pull a musher from the competition for any reason.
Would race officials boot a Buser driver?
Anderson does have a couple things going for him. One is that he is driving Buser's puppy team to Nome, and in the Iditarod, it is a demonstrated fact that there are rules and then there are rules. A rookie musher from Canada lagging on the trail is one thing; a musher running the upcoming dogs of a four-time Iditarod champ is another.
On top of that, Anderson has been posting strong run times. His team did better than 9 mph on the jump over the big hill between Takotna and Ophir, indicating he might, with luck, be able to rejoin what cyclists would call the "gruppetto'' or "autobus'' at the back of the race.
This is a group moving just fast enough to try to make the race-ordered time limits. Dabakk was with five other mushers in their own little Iditarod gruppetto on Friday night.
Between Alex Buetow, a 25-year-old from Fairbanks now working as a dog handler for Iditarod veteran Jake Berkowitz at the front, and Iditarod veteran John Dixon, who ran the race 14 years ago, at the back, there was a time of only about an hour separating these mushers as they began the march over the bleak, black spruce barrens on the way from Ophir to the outpost of Cripple.
With Buetow and Dixon -- a Fairbanks-based operations supervisor for BP, the oil and gas giant -- were Dabakk; Marcelle Fressineau, a 59-year-old adventure outfitter from Switzerland who now calls Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, home; Tommy Jordbrudal, a 44-year-old Norwegian guide who came to Alaska when his wife took a job as a visiting researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks; and Monica Zappa, a 30-year-old student in Wisconsin who gave that up to become a dog handler and commercial fisherman in Kasilof.
Zappa has a master's degree in geography and has begun work toward her Ph.D. Between her and Dabakk, who has a Ph.D. in plasma and space physics, this gruppetto clearly makes up for what it might lack in dog power with brain power.
Whether all of them are cagey enough to hang on to finish in Nome remains to be seen.
Iditarod 2014 has been marked by a high dropout rate that reached 15 mushers Friday night. Ramey Smyth from Willow, the 2011 race runner-up and a nine-time top-10 finisher, was among the mushers who scratched from the competition Friday.
All told, only a dozen dropped out of the race last year, and two-thirds of those came at the halfway point or beyond.
Record number of scratches?
The record number of Iditarod scratches was 24 in 2007, another year with little snow along the trail. That led to bone-breaking crashes before the race hit Nikolai in the Interior, similar to what happened this year. Along the way, there was a storm that made things worse. Several teams got lost on the way to Rainy Pass and eventually had to quit.
There was a big field in 2007. Eighty-two mushers started that race. Only 69 started this year. It is possible that if things continue as they have been going, Iditarod 2014 could set a new record for scratches.
A number of mushers still on the trail have confessed they are dealing with significant injuries that resulted from sled crashes while crossing about 80 miles of snowless country north of the Alaska Range. Aaron Burmeister from Nome tore up a knee and is basically continuing on one leg. Buser has a badly swollen ankle.
Others are dealing with dog issues. Smyth said he dropped out because his team was sick. Mushers Paul Gebhardt from Kasilof and Hugh Neff from Tok are down to eight dogs each after being forced to drop equal numbers of sick or injured dogs at checkpoints along the trail. Mushers need at least six dogs in harness to finish, and Gebhardt and Neff are barely halfway through the race.
Whether they can hang on remains to be seen. The same can be said for those at the back trying to keep up. For logistical reasons -- it is expensive to keep checkpoints open -- the Iditarod has become a race that gets wrapped up a little sooner every year.
In the 1980s, Iditarod was an 11- or 12-day race in which the last entrant got about three weeks to make it to Nome. By the 1990s, it was a nine- to 11-day race with the red lantern musher given about two and a half weeks to reach the end.
By the 2000s, the time for the winner had settled in the nine-day range, but the time for the back of the packers kept shrinking. They were getting just over two weeks to finish in the mid-2000s. Now it's under two weeks.
Christine Roalofs from Anchorage, the red lantern finisher last year, made Nome in 13 days, 22 hours, 16 minutes. The time would have won any Iditarod prior to the 1980s.
And going faster doesn't make The Last Great Race easier. It just makes it harder.

Where? Axalp - Switzerland
When? 08-10/10/2003
The Swiss Air Force demonstration at the Ebenfluh Shooting Range,
mostly refered to as Axalp because of the nearby village, is a unique possibility to see jet fighters doing live gun shooting. Together with the impressive scenery the demo is an experience that one will nevere forget.
The shooting range is located at an altitude of 7365 feet (2242m) in the middle of the Swiss Alps.
As this is already alpine territory the visitor should be well prepared if he is planning a visit. Warm clothes, and even more important, good shoes are an absolute must!
The weather forecast is also complicated as it could be seen this year. Sunshine on monday, snow and heavy winds on tuesday, the practice day, sun again on wednesday afternoon... Despite the sunny weather (on wednesday only) the show had officially been cancelled on both planned show days (wednesday and thursday) due to the massive amount of snow in the spectator areas. The weather forecast in the mountains is always very complicated and under the circumstances with all the snow hosting thousands of spectators on the hill has been too risky. Finally the demonstration was held on Friday afternoon in front of a smaller crowd than the years before.

WHAT CAN you say about West Virginia legislators who write laws — then crassly disobey statutes applying to themselves?
A total of 52 Mountain State political candidates failed to file required personal disclosures with the state Ethics Commission before the Feb. 1 deadline, Statehouse correspondent Phil Kabler revealed. Various others don't file campaign finance statements on time.
The case of Delegate Suzette Raines, R-Kanawha, is especially baffling. She didn't file five required campaign reports, and also missed her ethics filing. Nobody seems to know where she lives, because she has used three different addresses — including a Roller Road rental unit where owner Becky Jordon filed a notice to evict her. Democratic Party officials filed to remove her from the 2014 ballot, and she voluntarily removed herself.
Admittedly, some laws are unworkable. For example, candidates who don't file ethics reports must be removed from election ballots — but, absurdly, printed ballots already are distributed to voters before the ethics filing deadline. If an aspirant breaks the ethics law, it's too late for ballot removal. This glitch must be repaired.
When candidates file for the Legislature, they proclaim, in effect, that they are qualified to write laws that all West Virginians must obey. But when they can't even obey statutes themselves, the process becomes ridiculous.

Used in conjunction with PYRAMESH® C Surgical Titanium Mesh, the T2 SCEPTOR Distractible End Cleats System provides increased surface area and end-plate contact to help decrease the risk of dislodging post operatively. The first of its kind, the system features multiple end cap angles and a broad range of sizes, both to accommodate individual patient anatomy. Coinciding with this launch, Medtronic is also introducing a new Round Mesh Cutter that provides a smoother and more consistent mesh cut than traditional mesh trimmers.
More than 150,000 people suffer from traumatic fractures of the thoracic or lumbar spine each year. In more than 10,000 of these cases, the trauma is so serious that it damages one or more spinal vertebrae to the point where they have to be surgically removed and replaced with a vertebral body replacement device. In addition to trauma, corpectomy procedures also may be done when a patient has cancer or a tumor that has resulted in spinal instability, pain, and/or neurologic deficit.
The T2 SCEPTOR Distractible End Cleats System must be used in conjunction with PYRAMESH C Titanium centerpieces and with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability.
According to Dean G. Karahalios, MD, neurosurgeon at the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch and the designer surgeon for the device, "The T2 SCEPTOR system and Mesh Cutter eliminate many of the frustrating aspects around sizing and cutting the titanium mesh, but more importantly, provides surgeons flexibility of an infinitely customizable titanium mesh solution with the benefits of an expandable cage platform."

Category: German boys' names
In this global culture, many of the same boys' names are popular in both Europe and the US: Noah, Jacob, and William, for instance. But there are other names that seem to flourish there while going largely ignored here. Not every European name can make it in America, but here are ten we consider ripe for appropriation:
By Anna Otto, Waltzing More Than Matilda
Anna recently recommended ten German girls' names for importation, and now she's done the same for the boys.
Latinised form of the Greek form of Andrew. The name has been used in Germany since the Middle Ages; a famous medieval namesake is Andreas Osiander, a Lutheran mystic and theologian. The name Andreas was used in Britain too, although probably the name was still pronounced the same way as Andrew in everyday life. Just outside the Top 100 in Germany, Andreas is less often seen in English-speaking countries, perhaps because of fears it will be be confused with its feminine counterpart, Andrea. This German classic seems like a fresh update to flagging Andrew, and has recently had some publicity from the disaster movie San Andreas.
German names have had a spotty immigration record in the United States , even though one million Germans emigrated to America in the 1850s alone, and of course brought their native names with them. On the 1900 Social Security list, we find fairly high on the girls' side such names as Bertha, Gertrude, Hilda, Irma, Frieda and Wilhelmina, while for the boys there were Carl, Oscar, Herman, Otto, August, Rudolph, Emil, Gus, Adolph (at Number 180!), and Fritz.
These names –especially for boys—faded as the result of two World Wars that produced anti-German feeling and stereotypes, never to quite recover, though Oscar, August and Gus are making a comeback.
That aside, there are many, many attractive names with German roots, and here are just a few (which don't necessarily reflect current popularity, where tastes run to more international favorites such as Mia, Hannah and Ben*:
- Adela—the a-ending of the rarely used German form of Adele (accent on the first syllable) makes it lighter and more feminine, as in Joanna/Joanne, Suzanna/Suzanne. Adela was the name of William the Conqueror's youngest daughter and a character in E.M. Forster's A Passage to India. Adel, which means 'noble' is a popular element in German names, as in Adelaide and Adelina.
- Amalia, Amalie—These pretty alternatives to Amelia derive from the Old German word meaning 'industrious'.
- Cosima has become something of a hot choice, since it was chosen almost simultaneously last year by both Claudia Schiffer and Sofia Coppola. Though it has Greek roots, it has long been used in Germany, and has strong musical connections via the Cosima who was the daughter of Franz Liszt and the wife of Richard Wagner.
- Domino—Yes, it sounds like a black-and-white game piece, but this playful and dynamic o-ending girl's name became popular in Germany in the late 80s. It was used for her daughter by British designer India Hicks.
- Ebba—Widely used in both Germany and Scandinavia, this seventh century saint's name has a nice bouncy sound, and could be a follow-up to Emma and Ella. As could Elsa, the operatic bride who was the first to walk down the aisle to Wagner's famous wedding march

I'm 8 days post rhinoplasty (revision). I used a tweezer to carefully remove dry blood through my nostrils at the tip area. I then accidently tweezed out about three of these super small cotton knots. Did I sabotage an aspect of the rhinoplasty in some way? What are these for anyway?

The sutures you removed from your nose following your rhinoplasty probably were absorbable sutures. In all likelihood these would have fallen out on their own. However, check with your surgeon before you attempt to remove any other sutures. Best wishes.

It is always best to properly align teeth using orthodontics as compared to masking an orthodontic problem by using lumnineers, crowns, laminates, etc. Orthodontics is used to place teeth in a proper alignment not only side by side but also upper teeth to lower teeth. After orthodontic tooth movement is achieved and the occlusion is corrected, then and only then should any cosmetic dental work such as crowns, laminates or lumineers be implemented. To maintain your teeth for life, it is best to correct your occlusion or dental relationships and then do any cosmetic work that you desire. To check pricing, it is wise to consult with both an orthodontist and a cosmetic
Lumineers are NOT the answer.
Based on what you have described as your situation I would definitely recommend that Invisalign be the first step in any treatment. Improving your bite and improving the alignment and spacing of your teeth is not only going to improve the appearance of your teeth, but it is critical to the longevity and health of your teeth. If you used only veneers or Lumineers which is just a brand of little of no preparation veneers you would be ignoring the health of your teeth and in the long run this approach to treatment would undoubtedly fail which would be costly both financially and health wise.
Apples and Oranges
Depending on your specific goal, treatment can vary. A generality would be that if you start with crooked, ugly yellow teeth and use Invisalign, you get straight, ugly yellow teeth. Lumineers may be an option, as they CAN close spaces. If they are large and there are many, there may be other issues that should be addressed first. Traditional veneers may be more appropriate.
The price difference can be very large. Invisalign will run ~$5000 and the Lumineers likely will run ~$12K-$18K, depending on number of teeth and level of difficulty.

Each tool has a different application
When you visit a dentist for a consultation, they should give you a global assessment of what can be done to correct your problems. They should take into account what your goals are. For example, if you have multiple fillings on your front teeth or "splotchy" white decalcified areas, veneers are a great "tool." If your teeth are very white already, and just minorly crooked, you may choose Invisalign. On the other hand, you may have very small teeth (thus the spacing) and veneers will help proportionalize them.
Lumineers is just a brand name for a lab's veneer. I prefer a local porcelain artist to create veneers custom for each patient. If you look at my Before and After video below, you will see that I have many patients who had discolored teeth. This, I feel, is a very good reason to go with veneers. Notice there are also many who have broken (tooth decay) or ground down their teeth. Again this is a great motivation to rebuild the teeth.
The first before and afters on the video are "no prep/minimal prep" veneers meaning that very little to no tooth was reduced in order to bond the porcelain to the tooth. This is a popular concept but it needs to be done well, otherwise the teeth will look too bulky, opaque and unrealistic.
Make sure your dentist isn't biased toward Invisalign or Veneers so you get the right thing for you. As the saying goes, "If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Early withdrawals from retirement accounts during the Great Recession
Early withdrawals from retirement accounts are a double-edged sword, because withdrawals reduce retirement resources, but they also allow individuals to smooth consumption when they experience demographic and economic shocks. Using tax data, we show that pre-retirement withdrawals increased between 2004 and 2010, especially after 2007, but early withdrawal rates are substantial (relative to new contributions) in all of those years. Early withdrawal events are strongly correlated with shocks to income and marital status, and lower-income taxpayers are more likely to experience the types of shocks associated with early withdrawals and more likely to have a taxable withdrawal when they experience a given shock.

The ethical-juridical concepts related to the civil responsibility of medical activity in liberal practice are brought up to date. To this end, the arguments which guide the shaping up of the contractual relationship between the physician and the client are analysed, as also are the foundations on which the notion of guilt - an essential component of civil responsibility, whether relating to technical acts of to those within the field of medical humanism - are grounded. The answers presented for the solution of this question by European juridical systems are given.

In July 1872, the Ottoman government carved out an independent administrative district based in Jerusalem subject to direct rule from Istanbul, elevating the status of the city to a provincial capital.
"We do not know how the local population reacted," wrote the historian Johann Büssow of the administrative change. "Documentation of local public opinion is only fragmentary," he added.
But amidst the 150 million some documents preserved in the Ottoman Archives in Istanbul lie a number of critical clues, including a July 1872 note signed by sixty of Jerusalem's most prominent Muslim dignitaries.
This document will help historians piece together the fragments. It represents a rare glimpse into the prevailing sentiments at a time when historians have long struggled to find sources that speak to popular attitudes, identities and loyalties in the city.
"The separation of the district of Jerusalem from Syria [Suriya] was among the greatest projects" undertaken by the Ottoman government, the notables of Jerusalem proclaimed in the 1872 thank you note addressed to the "the protector of the protected and defender of humanity," the Sultan himself.
"We cannot express how thankful we are regarding the separation of Jerusalem," emphasized Jerusalem's notables in beautiful Arabic calligraphy, "which has been object of hope for a long time for the benefit of all."
Jerusalem had not played such an important political role in the Empire since it was conquered in the early 16th century. The Jerusalemite elites were poised to occupy one step higher on the imperial pecking order and were enthused to fill the bureaucratic positions that would accompany the city's elevated status.
But why did the Ottomans elevate the status of Jerusalem? Recall that the lands of the Ottoman Empire had shrunk considerably in the 19th century as a result of national independence movements in Greece and the Balkans, ambitious local upstarts in Egypt, and foreign occupation in the Caucuses. This made the peripheral lands of the Empire such as Palestine more important than ever, and thus essential to keep under the close scrutiny of imperial capital.
Ottoman District of Palestine?
The decree also placed the sub-districts of Nablus and Acre under Jerusalem's authority rather than Damascus's. A unified Holy Land subject to direct rule from an Istanbul-appointed governor, so the Ottoman logic went, would impede Western penetration into imperial lands.
Interestingly, the boundaries of the new district were remarkably similar to the Government of Palestine established by the British in the wake of the First World War, a point not lost on many scholars (here, here and here). In fact, the Ottomans even discussed re-naming the district to "Palestine" in the 1880s, but decided against it (here).
That did not prevent the region's inhabitants from conflating the "District of Jerusalem" and "Palestine." I am aware of a dozen some instances in the historical record of prominent intellectuals, politicians and educators –Arabs, Zionists and Ottomans alike – who confused the two terms or used them interchangeably, including the great scholar Butrus al-Bustani, the editor and publisher Sa'id Jarallah, the Gazan politician Sa'id Abu Khadra, the Zionist agronomist Menashe Meirovitch and the Ottoman governor, Cevdet Bey.
In the latter case, the governor of the District of Jerusalem in 1911-1912, Cevdet Bey, wrote a letter to the popular Jaffa-based bi-weekly newspaper, Filastin, calling himself the "governor of Palestine."
In another instance, this Ottoman geography textbook produced by the state prominently displayed the word Filistin over the region corresponding to the District of Jerusalem.
A Short-lived History
The Jewish and Christian residents of city also championed the decision to subject Acre and Nablus to rule from Jerusalem, while the European consuls celebrated "Palestine's" administrative unification, as they called it.
This vindicated the Ottoman bureaucrats opposed to the reshuffle, who claimed that uniting all of the holy places into a single administrative unit would not impede European penetration of the Empire but attract unwanted foreign interest.
And so, just like that, the decree was rescinded only a few weeks later. By late July 1872, Acre and Nablus were returned to Damascus—while Jerusalem would keep its elevated status subject to Istanbul's authority rather than Damascus's.
The reversal was expectedly unpopular in Jerusalem. A number of notables and merchants of the city sent yet another petition to the central government decrying the change. The move to subject Nablus and Acre to Jerusalem (rather than Damascus) was set to improve commerce in the Empire and strengthen the already strong trade ties the Jerusalemites had with Nablus, or so the Jerusalemites claimed.
Just two days later a dozen some Jaffans sent another note of protest to the Sultan on 29 July 1872, similarly criticizing the decision.
"The people of Jaffa, who belong to the District of Jerusalem, agree that our city is the commercial capital of Jerusalem and the Balqa' [Nablus]." The return of the Nablus sub-district to Damascus, they claimed, would hinder their business opportunities with the northern lands of Acre and Nablus, while it would simultaneously have had negative financial consequences for the Ottoman treasury.
The people of Nablus apparently saw things differently, though. When news came on 23 July 1872 that their district was once again returned to Syria, a group of "notables, dignitaries and merchants of Nablus" sent a telegram the very same day to Istanbul praising the government's decision.
They had stronger ties to the metropoles further north and therefore preferred to remain subject to rule from their intellectual, cultural and commercial capital in Damascus rather than the small and peripheral Jerusalem.
The jockeying and petitioning that followed the 1872 establishment of the District of Jerusalem did not revolve around inchoate nationalist desires for a united Palestine. These thank you notes and protest notes were about political influence and commercial interests.
So what did people in Palestine think about Palestine during the critical decades of the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s—the decades leading up the emergence of a Palestinian identity in the first decade and a half of the 20th century?

Medical marijuana advocate Kevin Saunders was arrested on charges that he violated a restraining order obtained by the Monterey College of Law more than 20 times.
Saunders, who has mounted a personal crusade for more than a year to get medical marijuana dispensaries legalized in Marina, was in Monterey County Jail on Friday afternoon with his bail set at $100,000.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Terry Spitz said the bail amount was set by Judge Albert Maldonado, who increased it from the standard $5,000 bail for misdemeanor charges after reviewing the complaints against Saunders.
The Seaside law school won a permanent restraining order against Saunders, a former student, in October after he was found to have harassed and threatened faculty, staff and students.
The 21 new charges break into three categories with multiple counts and multiple victims.
Saunders is charged with 11 counts of disobeying a court order; four counts of sending annoying and threatening electronic communications; and six counts of sending annoying electronic communications.
The victims include law school staff and faculty members and a student, with the individual acts allegedly taking place place from September to December.
Spitz said of the judge's decision to increase Saunders' bail: "I think the seven victims involved think it's very serious, too."
Saunders already is facing felony charges of allegedly selling marijuana to undercover officers with the Monterey Peninsula drug and violent crimes unit.
Spitz said the two cases are not related. Saunders has accused the District Attorney's Office of conducting a witch hunt against him because of his medical marijuana advocacy and announced plan to run for mayor of Marina.
"If we didn't have 14,000 other cases to worry about, then we might pay attention to that," Spitz said of Saunders' allegation.
On his Facebook page, a friend of Saunders posted an appeal for help in raising his bail and said he was arrested on a warrant "for violating bogus (restraining order)."
Phillip Crawford, a criminal defense attorney who taught last summer at the college, was one of the recipients of what he called "nasty emails" from Saunders. He said the messages continued after the restraining order.
Crawford said he wasn't surprised by Saunders' arrest, and added, "I'm surprised it took so long." He said people "are understandably very frightened by his behavior."

St Paul's Roman Catholic Church
Nuova Aurora Femminile
Contributed by Rick Landers
The information below has been extracted from the Souvenir Dedication Program, March 17, 1935, for Saint Paul's Roman Catholic Church. The church, located in the City of Erie on Walnut Street between 16th and 17th, had its beginning in May 1891. Ground was broken for a new House of Worship on August 19, 1928, but the economic recession at the end of the 1920s resulted in a partially completed building. With renewed funding efforts about 1933, the building was completed. Images of the pages in the dedication program have been scanned and provided by Rick Landers. Various individuals have assisted in transcribing the documents for presentation here. This particular page has been transcribed by Cheryl Westfall.
Souvenir Dedication Program
Nuova Aurora Femminile
. . . is the feminine side of the larger organization of the same name. Organized in July, 1925, the society has been of marked influence in the life of the Colony and has been of great service to the church. At the organization meeting Mrs. Antoinette Marinelli acted as temporary chairman, she was afterwards duly elected as president and served in capacity for two years. Many and diverse have been the activities of this body of women in functions for the benefit of the church: donations innumerable, card parties and booths at the annual bazaar have been some of the features of the material cooperation extended in recent years. In addition, many of the women in this society have membership in one or another of the parish groups. Nuova Aurora Femminile is a religious as well as a social body. The affairs sponsored by it are always successful and the Colony looks forward to their many projects with interest and pleasure. St. Pauls needs societies such as this one and trusts that it will enjoy many successful years of work toward a better understanding of the things of God in the minds and hearts of our people.

Iowa House Speaker says lawmakers won't let 'mob rule this state'
DES MOINES, Iowa — Gay marriage opponents on Thursday, April 9 threatened political retaliation against those blocking efforts to overturn an Iowa Supreme Court decision, but they failed to force the Legislature to vote on the issue.
In an emotional morning at the Statehouse, about 300 gay marriage critics rallied outside the building and then jammed the House chamber to back efforts to force a vote on a resolution starting the process of amending the constitution to ban gay marriage.
They chanted, "Let us vote," after House leaders blocked the effort by ruling it out of order.
"We're not going to let mob rule rule this state," said House Speaker Pat Murphy, D-Dubuque. "There's no reason for this type of behavior and we're not going to put up with it."
At the rally earlier, gay marriage opponents said they would remember last week's Supreme Court decision when they cast ballots in November 2010.
"This is only the beginning," said Danny Carroll, a former legislator and now chairman of the conservative Iowa Family Policy Center. "We will remember and we will remember in November."
Chuck Hurley, also a former legislator and president of the policy center, noted that in addition to legislators and Gov. Chet Culver, three Iowa Supreme Court justices would face retention elections next year.
That includes Chief Justice Marsha Ternus.
"Maybe she will know how it feels after November of 2010," said Hurley.
Justices Michael Streit and David Baker also will be up for retention elections next year. The Supreme Court struck down the state's gay marriage ban on a 7-0 decision.
"Three judges on the ballot. We will remember next November," Hurley said. "You are not fooling anyone."
In Iowa, judges are appointed through a merit-selection process that was approved by voters in the 1960s. Voters decide whether to keep a judge in office. Supreme court judges are up for retention every eight years, while court of appeals and district court judges are up every six years.
The Rev. Keith Ratliff, an African-American minister from Des Moines, rejected arguments by some that efforts for gay rights are similar to the civil rights movement.
"This is a choice issue," said Ratliff, who claimed that gays and lesbians choose their sexual preference, unlike race.
To amend the Iowa constitution, a resolution must be approved in two consecutive General Assemblies, and then by voters in a statewide election. That resolution is sitting in a House committee, and House Minority Leader Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, sought to force a vote after the rally.
Murphy denied his request that rules be suspended to allow the resolution to skip a committee and be considered in the full House.
"It's a procedural issue," said Murphy, who has supported the Supreme Court ruling. "I feel very comfortable with the ruling I made."
Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, has said he won't allow debate on the issue in that chamber during the closing days of the session.
Gay marriage came up again later Thursday when the House debated a $1.25 billion measure paying for health and human services programs.
Rep. Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City, offered an amendment striking the entire spending package and replacing it with a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
That was ruled out of order, and a procedural effort to force debate was rejected on a 44-54 vote.
"It means that the Supreme Court ruling stands for today," said Rants. "People are going to have to change the hearts and minds of their legislators."
The vote was largely along party lines with Democrats against debating the issue and Republicans in favor. Democrats Geri Huser, of Altoona, and Dolores Mertz, of Ottosen, crossed over and voted to debate the issue.
"This latest political posturing by House Republicans shows that this issue really was all about politics," Murphy said. "They were willing to strike the entire bill which spends more than $1 billion on programs for our neediest citizens."

At its height, the Persian Empire stood as one of the ancient world's largest and most powerful empires. One of its most famous leaders was the king known as Cyrus the Great who ruled Iran from 550-530 BC. One of the Persian Empire's great treasures is the Cyrus Cylinder, which tells the story of Cyrus The Great's rule. The cylinder depicts Cyrus as a king who was seen both as a great political and military leader, as well as the ancient world's equivalent of a humanitarian. Evidence for all of these characteristics can be found on the Cyrus Cylinder. The audio story describes the cylinder as one of the oldest declarations of human rights found in archaeology. It also describes the pride modern Iran, often criticized for human rights violations, has for the legacy of Cyrus the Great.

War time chaos often puts cultural heritage at risk with looting and pillaging of historic artifacts. This radio story tells of an unusual partnership between two groups: the military and archaeologists. They are working together to educate soldiers in order to help protect cultural heritage and artifacts in war zones in Iraq, and other nearby countries. It's a modern-day story of protecting artifacts in war zones and is tied to the many ancient artifacts that have been lost over the centuries.Read More

The ancient Mesopotamian citadel of Ur Bilum, located in Northern Iraq, sits atop a hill overlooking the modern day city of Erbil. Ur Bilum was originally built by a group of ancient peoples known as the Sumerians but was also home to a variety of civilizations including the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Ottomans. More recently, the citadel was home to hundreds of families of Kurdish refugees until 2007 when it was evacuated. This was an effort by Kurdish authorities to gain the necessary approval of the United Nations for the citadel to become a World Heritage Site. Listen to learn more about Ur Bilum's rich history and the hardships faced by its last inhabitants.Read More
The people of Ancient Mesopotamia practiced mathematics from the early days of Sumer to the fall of Babylon in the 6th century. Until recently, most evidence suggested that math was used primarily for things like measuring land. A new discovery by a researcher in Berlin has shed new light on how Babylonians used geometry to measure the changes in the velocity of Jupiter over time as it moves across the sky. Prior to this discovery, the use of geometry in this manner was thought to have come in the middle ages. Listen to hear how this new discovery shows that Babylonian mathematics was more sophisticated than previously thought.Read More

BRP (parent company of Evinrude) has begun a program to test butanol-extended fuel in a variety of recreational marine engines for Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office. Butanol-extended fuel will be tested as an alternative to gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol (E15).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted a waiver allowing up to 15 percent ethanol in gasoline. According to industry test data published last October, E15 can cause significant damage to marine engines. A 2011 alternative fuel study executed by BRP, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) concluded that isobutanol was a promising alternative fuel in marine engines.
"Gasoline with 10 percent ethanol (E10) is still an acceptable fuel for marine engines, including BRP's Evinrude outboard engines, but isobutanol, which has a higher energy content than ethanol, could be a viable alternative to E15," said Jeff R. Wasil, an engineering technical expert at BRP. "Isobutanol represents a unique opportunity for BRP, and the entire marine industry, to be at the forefront of innovation in alternative fuels."
With oversight from Argonne and the Department of Energy, the project calls for many types of recreational marine inboard and outboard engines to be tested in both a laboratory setting and through on-the-water trials to determine the effects of butanol-extended fuel on engine power, performance, emissions and overall durability. Phase I of the isobutanol testing on the water takes place this week in Annapolis, MD. Phase II is planned for later in 2012.
Along with BRP, Argonne Laboratory and the NMMA, marine manufacturers Volvo-Penta and Indmar Marine have provided testing resources for the first phase of the project.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
No, I did not make any non deductible contribution to the IRA. What do you mean by distribute the stock? The company did not invest the money in stock.
They money was loaned to the company, to be paid back with interest on return. I do intend to sue, but in the mean time I am having to pay a yearly service fee which is costly on money that is not there.
The money would not have been taxed as it was considered to still be in the IRA. Now the IRA has a zero value. You can cash out the IRS in kind meaning you take the assets of the IRA which are now valued at zero. This would dissolve the IRA and the tax would be on the value which is zero.
You would then own what ever the IRA had. A note or loan to the business of what I assumed was stock. Sorry for the assumption.
Then the note would be a personal asset, and if you do recover any on the funds, it would be personal capital gain. Not an IRA distribution taxed at ordinary rates and subject to penalty.
Because an IRA is funded with pre tax money, you cannot take any loss as any distribution would be gain by definition. For example, the IRA had $1 in it, the $1 would be taxed when distributed.
The only way to take a loss personally, would be to cash out the IRA in kind and to have a basis in it. Basis would be contributions that were made post tax and did not allow a tax deduction for the contribution effectively making it pre tax.
You stated that this is not the case so there is no loss you can take. The only thing to do is distribute the note (asset of the IRA) in kind. This would allow any recovery to be considered capital gain which is taxed at a much lower rate than a IRA and not subject to the penalty. Cash the IRA out, find an attorney, and try to recover.
The other option is to leave the IRA intact and try to recover. Down the road, distributions would be tax but could grow tax free for years.
The decision is up to you, but I would personally choose to cash it out in kind because of the tax benefits.
Good day sir. I noticed that my answer was not accepted, and I was wondering if there was more information that I could provide you or if you had any additional questions. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance or I can open the question to other experts if I have been unable to help. The acceptance of an answer does not charge you. It simply provides me with credit for my response. Feel free to comment on my service as well. Thank you and have a great day.

Has she still Dunn enough, or is she out of the dog house around here?
She still has the rest of the regular season, Eastern Conference and WNBA championships to go. Then maybe.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
I guess she's worthy of this opportunity for being the coach of the best team in the East and the best team in the league.
I don't think folks give coach Dunn enough credit. Like I said in the "4-Game Win Streak..." thread, the Fever's unachievement last year was more the result of some players being injured (Catchings) and others not being able to return stateside before pre-season because they were still playing overseas. This year the Fever had all of their core players back long before pre-season (Catchings, Tully, Sutton-B, Douglas, and Huffman), and their having some great success even after adding a few pieces.
I like what they've accomplished thus far under Dunn's leadership, and hope their win streak continues for atleast 10 games. They're up to 8 now. Back-to-back wins against the Sky will achieve that benchmark.
Congrats, coach Dunn and the Girls of Indy! Go Fever!!

text: I was thrilled with the team's win on Sunday and thought Carr played a good game. I don't want to be a killjoy, but here is an interesting piece from PFW, which cites a "source close to the club" as saying he is no better than a 50-50 chance to return to the Texans next year. If he doesn't return, I wish him the best and hope he plays great on Sunday so his trade value increases. I trust Kubiak to make the right decision, and if he thinks the team will be better off with Plummer, that's fine with me. http://profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/default.htm "Is David Carr about to play his final game in Houston? Carr was the Texans first-ever draft choice, and he has started all but a handful of the franchises games. But the team might be readying to move on without him, the way we hear it. Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has said that Carrs status will be evaluated in the offseason, and a source close to the club suggests that Carr is no better than a 50-50 shot to return for a sixth season in Houston. The 27-year-old quarterback is scheduled to make $5.25 million in salary in 2007 and $6 million in 08, and he could draw interest from other teams looking to pick up a talented veteran who might just need a change of scenery."

BAE Systems has lined up a half dozen prospective applications for Q-HUD, a compact and lightweight head-up display for smaller business airplanes where space limits the use of overhead projection equipment. A firm commitment from one or more airframe makers could be imminent as BAE Systems works to complete certification of the product before the end of next year.
Q-HUD uses holographic wave-guide technology that "injects" the light image into the display glass, eliminating the need for a projection-lens configuration. It makes use of optics pioneered on the company's helmet-mounted Q-Sight displays developed for the military. By eliminating the more costly optics that are part of existing HUDs, BAE claims to have "significantly" reduced the price for Q-HUD, making it affordable for much smaller aircraft.
The design of the Q-HUD's optics allows for a larger field of pilot head movement while viewing the HUD. The system can also display synthetic-vision imagery and terrain data. BAE said that, mainly by virtue of its lower parts count, Q-HUD is more reliable than traditional systems, with a mean-time-between-failure rate of 20,000 hours, compared with rates for existing systems of between 2,000 and 4,000 hours.
Ric Morrow, BAE's director for commercial avionics business development, said initial applications for Q-HUD will likely be for new-build aircraft, although there is potential for retrofitting the system. He indicated that the HUD is probably not a viable option for the current wave of very light jets, but that it might well be applicable to the next generation. "We see it as a product that will offer enhanced safety down the line," he said.
BAE unveiled the system at the 2008 NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla., and came away with nine nondisclosure agreements with aircraft makers. The major enticement for many, said BAE, is the Q-HUD's compact size.
The condensed head-up display package is much less obtrusive in the cockpit and generates less heat, explained Paul Childs, BAE technology lead for the Q-HUD. The eye-motion box (the area in which the pilot can see the display) is significantly increased from the restricted space of around six by three by two inches that usually applies for traditional HUD systems in which the images are projected onto a combiner. At just over 20 pounds, the BAE system is half the weight of traditional HUD packages.
"Studies of around 600 incidents by the Flight Safety Foundation have shown that one third of accidents could have been prevented or at least positively influenced by a HUD," said Childs. "In bad [visibility] conditions, pilots are trying to focus both outside the aircraft and on the displays below. By combining a HUD with an enhanced vision system we can give a real-world view in bad visibility."

The Demons are certainly destined for another wooden spoon or two or three.They will not win a game in 2012. Sad but true.If they can survive the" tsynami "coming their way ,perhaps they can develop the new kids on the block. I agree that senior players have lost their interest since being told their not leadership material.Only natural to feel rejected and sadly the former senior group have been assassinated from the Melbourne football club.Many of them won't be at Melbourne next year.So, hold on to your youth's potential Dees,because their going to get belted for the next few years.

Will, I think Melbourne might finish on the bottom too but your understanding of football seems somewhat limited. I'm not a Melbourne supporter but I can see what Neeld is doing. He isn't trying to win games, he's finding out what he has to work with so the rebuilding can start. The second half of the year will probably be a development period and some improvement will be noticeable by then. And by the way: There= over there, Their shows ownership, They're short for they are.

Thank you Mick for the grammar lesson.You're quite right! I appreciate your view. My initial thoughts were perhaps a little severe, given decades of mediocrity.I'm not sure I entirely agree with Melbourne's about face,but Neeld is a good coach and I hope it works out before too much fall out.

Sorry, but the Melbourne situation has been blown way out of proportion. They were crap last week but prior to that they had been competitive most games (albeit no chance of winning) against high quality opponents. They will win some games later this year, maybe even more than the Suns. Not down the very bottom.

Parliament - It went past like a bullet, the National Assembly's longest-serving MP told his colleagues on Thursday.
"Today, is an historic day in my life. In fact, it is the last time I will be speaking in Parliament, as I'm retiring," Inkatha Freedom Party Chief Whip Koos van der Merwe said in a farewell speech.
"I've come to the end of more than 60 years of being an activist... I remember 1/8the election of 3/8 1948 Ä I was distributing pamphlets and putting up posters.
"(I've) been in Parliament 37 long years, but it went past like a bullet."
Van der Merwe told the House he had served under seven heads of state, starting with John Vorster. He was first elected to the National Assembly on November 30, 1977, as a member of the National Party.
He planned to write his memoirs.
"I will be writing about my life in Parliament Ä from the days of apartheid until now, because I have seen the whole movie."
Van der Merwe, who turns 77 later this year, revealed that Thursday was also his son and wife's birthday.
A qualified lawyer, he said he was proud of the 18 years he had served on the Judicial Service Commission.
"For me, as a lawyer, this was the pinnacle of my legal career, and the one I'm most proud of, in assisting to build a solid South African judiciary."
Van der Merwe then offered some sage advice to members.
"Be always respectful. To your parents, your grandparents, your teachers, your employers 1/8and 3/8 the elderly. Be respectful.
"Be disciplined. You must always arrive in time, properly prepared so as to make meaningful contributions.
"In short... be humble. To be humble is the road to political success."
He then doffed his black hat and said he wanted "to thank the Almighty for granting me the privilege of having served so long in Parliament".
His voice breaking slightly, Van der Merwe than said it was time to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Hamba Kahle. Fluit-fluit, my storie is uit (whistle, whistle, my tale is done)," Van der Merwe said.
As he walked from the podium, both sides of the House rose and gave the veteran politician a standing ovation.
Thursday is the last scheduled sitting of the National Assembly before the May 7 elections.

Beckett meets with nerve specialist about numbness
LOS ANGELES -- Injured right-hander Josh Beckett visited a nerve specialist on Monday and was diagnosed with irritation of an upper arm nerve that causes numbness in his right hand and fingers. The veteran starter will not throw for at least four weeks.
Beckett had been experiencing a numbing sensation in the fingers of his pitching hand for much of the season. Last week, Beckett said he continued to pitch because the Dodgers were short on starters earlier in the season after losing Chad Billingsley for the year and being burdened by Zack Greinke's broken left collarbone.
Beckett, on the disabled list with a left groin strain, had his throwing program shut down two weeks ago because the numbness in his fingers continued during a bullpen session. Beckett is 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA in eight starts this season.
Beckett visited Gregory Pearl in Dallas, the same surgeon who operated on Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter's right shoulder last season. Beckett is expected to return to Dodger Stadium on Wednesday.
