Elmore Leonard, New York Times bestselling author and "the hippest, funniest national treasure in sight" (Washington Post), brings his trademark wit and inimitable style to this twisting, grippingand sometimes playfultale of modern-day piracy
Dara Barr, documentary filmmaker, is at the top of her game. She's covered the rape of Bosnian women, neo-Nazi white supremacists, and post-Katrina New Orleans, and has won awards for all three. Now, looking for a bigger challenge, Dara and her right-hand-man, Xavier LeBo, a six-foot-six, seventy-two-year-old African American seafarer, head to Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, to film modern-day pirates hijacking merchant ships.
They learn soon enough that almost no one in the Middle East is who he seems to be. The most successful pirate, driving his Mercedes around Djibouti, appears to be a good guy, but his pal, a cultured Saudi diplomat, has dubious connections. Billy Wynn, a Texas billionaire, plays mysterious roles as the mood strikes him. He's promised his girlfriend, Helene, a nifty fashion model, that he'll marry her if she doesn't become seasick or bored while circling the world on his yacht. And there's Jama Raisuli, a black al Qaeda terrorist from Miami, who's vowed to blow up something big.
What Dara and Xavier have to decide, besides the best way to stay alive: Should they shoot the action as a documentary or turn it into a Hollywood feature film?

We give credit to those who have set records in the first season of Marquette women's lacrosse.
Women's lacrosse wraps up their season with a trip to play #10 Notre Dame, while men's lacrosse finishes the road section of their first ever season by playing St. John's.
Getting outscored 33-10 isn't fun, but there were some bright spots in Marquette's losses to #19 Connecticut and #5 Syracuse.
Tomorrow night! Hart Park in Tosa! Marquette vs Detroit! Plus: Previews of the two women's lacrosse games this weekend!
The win might have moved the Greyhounds' record on the season to only 7-6, but they're still good enough to handle the Golden Eagles with ease.
Yeah, it's a loss, but it was to a ranked team, so watch me drag some positive notes out of this one.
The life of a first year program means getting outscored pretty badly sometimes.
Men's lacrosse is in Colorado tonight to play #3/3 Denver, while women's lacrosse is at Cincinnati tonight and at Louisville on Sunday.
But they're not Big East games. It'll make sense.
Attacking into a nasty wind in cold temperatures didn't seem to bother the Crimson as they jumped out to a big lead to defeat the Golden Eagles.

The UWC is open and available to students, faculty, and staff to work
with prepared undergraduate and graduate writing consultants on writing at any
stage of the writing process. Writers tend to benefit from having some idea of what they would
like to discuss and work on in their writing consultation. For example, writers
can consider various aspects of their writing assignment or where they are in
their writing process for discussion during the session.
Writing consultants are also prepared
to visit classes and set up peer response groups, so students can provide
feedback on each other's writing, and consultants can provide guidance for
subsequent peer review sessions.
While the UWC is here to work
with writers, writing consultants do not evaluate an entire piece of writing, grade
or anticipate a grade on a paper, edit a piece of writing dropped off by
students, or do writing for a student. Rather,
consultants work with writers on specific skills in writing, revising, and
editing. The goal of writing
consultation is to work with the individual writer, providing strategies to build
on strengths and overcome challenges.
In addition to offering individual writing assistance, the UWC also oversees the Writing Mentor Program. After successfully complete the Peer Tutoring course, students or experienced writing consultants may serve as Writing Mentors. The Writing Mentors program at ECU embeds consultants in specific Writing Intensive courses. Writing Mentors act as facilitators for good writing by offering suggestions for revision and discussing strategies that will enable students to communicate their thoughts and ideas for course assignments effectively. Writing Mentors will also be able to help course instructors plan effective means of teaching writing.
Any questions or concerns about the University Writing Center can be directed to the Director, Dr. Nicole Caswell, by email at email@example.com or by calling 737-1090.

Energizer Energi
To Go XP8000
energizerpowerpacks.comIf your electronic gadget doesn't readily permit
you to change batteries, or you simply don't want
to bother with the hassle of a spare, check out this
great alternative. It's an 8,000mAh rechargeable
LiPo battery pack about the size of a deck of cards
that weighs about as much as your smartphone.
One of the killer features of the XP8000 is that
it accommodates all sorts of devices thanks to its
three output ports: 5V USB, 9V–12V, and 16V–20V.
There are more than a dozen plugs and charging
cables, including adapters for portable DVD players
and DC plugs for laptops.

Tweezer Multimeter

The RC200 does everything you'd expect from a multimeter:
measures voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity,
checks diodes, and switches between manual and auto
ranging using a stripped-down interface, basically just an LCD
with a couple of buttons letting you toggle through the modes.
The RC200 measures voltages up to 600V, 6nF to 60mF
capacitance, and resistance ranging from 600Ω to 60MΩ.

Ubuntu Karmic Koala(v. 9. 10)Free
My switch to Ubuntu came from
a desire to break away from proprietary software. I started with Jaunty
Jackalope (version 9.04) and was a bit
afraid to make the jump to the new
OS, Karmic Koala (version 9. 10), due
to some hardware issues. Fortunately,
my fears were needless. But while on
the technical side everything is quite
fast, Ubuntu still suffers from a plain,
default GUI. Ubuntu's primary goal over
the next few releases is to create their
own version of an App Store, which
should be completed by 10.04.
In Koala, Ubuntu users see the first
step toward a fully functional app
store: Ubuntu One is a free, 2GB online
cloud storage service that allows
Ubuntu users to sync and share files
with other online users. The current,
upgraded repository is nice to look
at, clean when searching, and easy to
install. With Lucid Lynx (version 10.04)
just released in April, Koala is a great
OS to utilize until Lynx establishes its
base in the community.

Despite political and military tensions, two political science students from North Carolina State University left for Ukraine this week to document and get a first-hand look at what is happening there.
"Life goes on, even when there's a revolution happening," junior Neel Mandavilli told WNCN's Eileen Park before he and Andriy Shymonyak left for the crisis-torn country.
Ukraine's revolution is exactly what inspired Shymonyak and Mandavilli to leave their comfortable lives in Raleigh for 10 days in hopes of capturing with their cameras the stories behind the political tensions.
They flew out of RDU on Wednesday.
"Being there, seeing that, seeing the people that still resides, people still in the tents," Shymonyak said of their trip.
At first Shymonyak was reluctant to go to Ukraine, but he decided it was too important not to. While there, he and Mandavilli plan to meet with protesters involved in the deadly clashes.
"I don't consider myself that brave," Shymonyak said. "Perhaps if I was going to Crimea I'd be more inclined to consider that label, but even then I don't think I would apply it to myself."
Crimea has become the flashpoint in the battle for Ukraine, where three months of protests sparked by President Victor Yanukovych's decision to ditch a significant treaty with the 28-nation European Union after strong pressure from Russia led to his downfall.
A majority of people in Crimea identify with Russia, and Moscow's Black Sea Fleet is based in Sevastopol, as is Ukraine's.
The regional parliament in Crimea has set a March 16 referendum on leaving Ukraine to join Russia, and senior lawmakers in Moscow said they would support the move, ignoring sanctions threats and warnings from President Barack Obama that the vote would violate international law.
While the U.S. and the EU urged Russia to engage in dialogue with new Ukrainian authorities, the Kremlin has refused to do so, denouncing the change of power in Ukraine as an "unconstitutional coup."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow sees no sense in talking with Ukraine's new authorities because, in his view, they kowtow to radical nationalists.
At a news conference in Kiev, Ukraine's new foreign minister, Andrii Deshchytsi, spoke hopefully about creation of a contact group made up of foreign ministers of various countries to mediate the crisis. Forming the group was an idea discussed during meetings between Ukraine's prime minister and European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday.
Deshchytsi said that he learned from mediators that Russia hasn't "categorically' refused the idea of permitting a contact group to help broker an end to the dispute.
Shymonyak and Mandavilli were able to fund much of their trip through the website Rally.org.

LED manufacturer Light Waves Concept, Inc. Light Waves Concept, Inc. recently reported plans to enter into mass production with its LED 3W MR16 prototype. The bulb, which is intended as a replacement for the standard dichroic MR16, is described by the company as the first light emitting diode capable of being used in widespread retrofits for its incandescent predecessor.
The MR16 uses 90% less energy than incandescent MR16s while boasting a near zero heat output and an eight-year lifespan. It produces a light output of around 80 lumens which, according to President Joel Slavis, makes it perfect for architectural applications in the home and office.
The "MR" stands for the multi-faceted reflectors lining the inside cone of the fixture surrounding the bulb which serve to focus illumination more directly and powerfully onto a desired surface. The brightness-enhancing design serves to circumvent the technology gap in LED luminosity.
"These lamps function perfectly in cabinet, counter, display, museum, and other task applications while using ten percent of the energy and lasting five to seven times as long as what we had before," explained Slavis. "All the qualities of LEDs--the absence of heat, the long life--make the MR16 a perfect replacement with which to begin the LED revolution. This is a benchmark."

Voters will decide the four bond questions during the Nov. 5 election.
The last successful bond election in Scottsdale was in 2004. Scottsdale voters rejected bond questions on transportation and public safety in 2010.
The bond program would also pay for libraries, public safety and transportation projects.

FORT WORTH - North Texans can now leave cars in park with a new way of getting around Fort Worth.
On Monday, the city celebrated Earth Day launching the first bike sharing program in North Texas called "The Fort Worth B-Cycle."
The new and environmentally friendly initiative will consist of 300 trek bikes and 30 docking stations across Fort Worth. The docking stations will be located throughout downtown, Southside and the Cultural District.
Run by the non-profit organization Fort Worth Bike Sharing, the new system hopes to bring commuters and visitors an easy and green way to get short distances around the city.
The bike sharing initiative will act like a "Red Box Rental." You will be able to check out a bike at one of the 30 docking stations and ride it to another station around the city. Many of the stations are no more than 30 minutes apart.
The bike sharing initiative started within the Fort Worth Transportation Authority. In 2012, The T received a $1 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration to purchase the equipment to launch The Fort Worth B-Cycle.

Units from Spokane County Fire District No. 4's Stations 41 (Deer Park), 42 (Chattaroy) and 46 (Riverside) were dispatched to the scene after it was reported a large amount of smoke was accumulating in a sixth grade portable classroom.
An investigation by SCFD4 personnel attributed the smoke to an electrical malfunction.
SCFD4 officials said the smoke, while uncomfortable, was not a serious health hazard.

---- — INDIANAPOLIS — In January, on his first day in office, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence called for a moratorium on state regulations, saying less government rules would help spur job creation across the Hoosier state.
State Sen. Ron Grooms, a conservative Republican from Jeffersonville, applauded the general notion of "less government intrusion" but decided the health of Hoosiers trumped ideology. During the 2013 session, he authored legislation to impose sweeping new regulations on the providers of prescription painkillers. His intent: To turn back the wave of misuse, abuse, and addiction associated with the most frequently prescribed drugs in the U.S.
How did Grooms come to that decision? Through his personal experience as a pharmacist in Floyd County, where he'd witnessed the rise of suspicious pain management clinics, better known as "pill mills."
In a recent interview, Grooms recalled how he could track the rise in prescriptions for drugs containing hydrocodone — the chemical derivative of opium — just by tracking his orders.
In the early 1990s, as those drugs were hitting the market, Grooms needed only one bottle of 100 pills each week to fill the hydrocodone prescriptions that came into his pharmacy. By the mid-1990s, he needed to buy one bottle of 500 pills a week to keep up with the demand. By 2006, when he retired, he was ordering 20 bottles of 500 pills each week.
What he saw in his drug store was happening across the nation. The number of prescriptions for hydrocodone-containing medications like Lortab, Vicodin and their generic equivalents — all marketed as safe, cheap, and effective — was skyrocketing. In 2011, according to federal government estimates, about 131 million prescriptions for hydrocodone-containing medications were written for about 47 million patients. That comes out to about five billion pills.
"We'd become a society where everything is supposed to be easy and uncomplicated," Grooms said. And pain treatment was no different: "Treating pain is uncomplicated. You just write a prescription."
Also happening: An alarming number of patients were becoming addicted to their narcotic painkillers and developing what's called a "narcotic tolerance" — meaning they had to increase their dosage to get the same pain relief.
The consequences have been deadly: More people are now dying from overdosing on their prescription painkillers than overdosing on heroin or cocaine. In October, a study released by Trust for America's Health found Indiana had the country's 17th highest rate of drug overdose deaths, with most of those deaths from prescription painkillers.
Grooms came into the 2013 session believing the best way to put a big dent in those numbers was to impose more regulations on the people writing the prescriptions. The legislation he introduced was much tougher than what was passed, having met significant opposition from the medical community. He understood their argument: "Doctors didn't want legislators telling them how to practice medicine," Grooms said.
Still, with help from a fellow pharmacist, Republican Rep. Steve Davisson of Salem, he got a bill passed that gave the state Medical Licensing Board what Grooms called "tremendous power and authority" to impose new regulations on painkiller-prescribing doctors.
Pence signed the bill. And last week the board passed emergency rules — clearing the way for permanent rules to come — that mandate drug testing of pain-medication patients and much closer monitoring of patients by doctors to detect drug addiction and abuse.
Grooms is a classic small-government Republican that characterizes the regulation-wary Indiana General Assembly. As a pharmacist, he had the right to refuse to fill a painkiller prescription of someone he thought was abusing the drug. But more intervention is needed, he said, when there are critical public health issues at stake.
"The rest of the story is: What we do with these people who are addicted? How do we treat them? What are we going to do in 10 years and they're still addicted?" Grooms said. "Look at the cost to society and the loss of productivity…We've got a huge problem we need to address."

Africare Editorial
Coping With Diversity
By C. Payne Lucas and Kevin G. Lowther
C. Payne Lucas was president of Africare from May 1971 to June 15, 2002, and Kevin G. Lowther is Africare's former Southern Africa regional director. This article was first published on Aug. 2, 1993.
Authors' note: The thesis of this article is even more germane seven years later. Two developments to note since this was written: The United Nations and the international community have yet to grapple effectively with the challenge of ethnic conflict, and American society has continued to absorb all of the colors in the human rainbow. (February 2000)
Back in the late 1970s, we flirted with trying to start a syndicated newspaper column. We were going to call it "In Black and White" -- Lucas is African American, Lowther of European ancestry -- and focus on issues of race and culture in American society. The idea died on the drawing board, in part because we naively concluded that Americans were finally learning to live with each other. There seemed less urgency -- or media market -- for commentary that would guide us through the thickets of ethnic, religious and cultural diversity.
It seems we were premature to abandon our collaboration. Race, ethnicity, religion and culture have become increasingly complex and divisive factors in American life. And in the world at large, from Yugoslavia to Sri Lanka to South Africa, we have seen one nation after another ravaged by these same powerful forces.
If we were to launch "In Black and White" today, we would have to broaden its scope far beyond the American racial divide. We would have to give it a new name -- "Making a World of Difference" might do -- and a new objective: to help Americans and their leaders better understand and deal with diversity at home and abroad.
In the current issue of Foreign Affairs, Professor Samuel P. Huntington, of Harvard University's Institute for Strategic Studies, writes of an incipient "clash of civilizations" in which the West will have to reconcile itself to non-Western peoples "whose power approaches that of the West but whose values and interests differ significantly. ... It will ... require the West to develop a more profound understanding of the basic religious and philosophical assumptions underlying other civilizations."
Considering that we ourselves are not yet reconciled to one another, this task is daunting at best. However, with U.S. soldiers already serving in two ethnic danger zones -- Somalia and Macedonia -- we ought to give closer attention to people and cultures who used to be tucked safely away on the pages of National Geographic.
There may be a handful of Americans who understand Somali society and culture. There may be slightly more who could identify Macedonia on a blank outline map of Europe. Most of us, however, are grossly ignorant of the civilizations in Professor Huntington's world (which, incidentally, virtually excludes Africa, to judge by his sole and passing reference to its "possibly" being considered a civilization).
Here, then, is our maiden -- and perhaps only -- edition of "Making a World of Difference." Our central thesis is that every leader, from President Clinton, to Nelson Mandela, to Boutros-Ghali, to the PTA chair in your ethnically changing neighborhood will succeed or fail to the degree that he or she can manage diversity.
We live in a world in which centuries-old enmities can come back to life in Bosnia as if cryogenically preserved for generations; we live in a world in which immigrants and the displaced now account for one in every 50 human beings; we live in a world in which ethnicity, race, religion and culture are the dominant sources of conflict, not ideology, economics or even the naked desire for power.
These forces are at work close to home. In Arlington, Va., police needed four hours to quell a recent brawl among about 60 Latino and black men; in the New York area, authorities have arrested several Muslim fundamentalists seemingly committed to blowing up Manhattan, building by building; and in Los Angeles, the FBI is alleging that several white men were planning to attack a black church congregation to ignite a race war.
We and the world are in collective denial that these divisions are a fundamental challenge to human order and concord. We delude ourselves into believing that they are merely localized irruptions on the body politic, that they can be contained or swept under the carpet.
This leads to talk of extraditing a militant Muslim sheik to Egypt, coaxing Mexico to take 600 Chinese boat people detained by the U.S. Coast Guard or trying to gerrymander the Bosnian map to keep the ethnic peace.
It also has led to a dangerously wishful faith in the alchemy of democratization. Free elections may sometimes aggravate rather than sublimate differences between groups who have managed, under more autocratic government, to live together in relative harmony. For the West to promote democracy without addressing this unpleasant reality is like giving someone a rowboat, but no oars, and urging them to venture into turbulent waters.
Most Americans probably share the conceit that democracy is inherently good. This is what we are taught from an early age. But how many have learned this truth in a practical way? How many of us, in our lives and thoughts, have tried to articulate our national identity in terms of our increasingly multicultural, multiethnic and multiracial character?
There was a time, in the early decades of American independence, when whites and blacks alike were preoccupied with deciding whether this new-world democracy was to be purely European, or whether the mounting free black population meant that we would be, in the term much-used then, "amalgamated."
There were many whites and some blacks who thought we would be well rid of each other. But black leaders of the day were readier to acknowledge that this was a practical impossibility. More to the point, they were more concerned with asserting blacks' claim to be as truly American as anyone else.
The debate over our national identity remains unresolved, and indeed largely unremarked. In 1816, a year of pronounced racial tension and a rumored invasion of black revolutionists from Haiti, it was Topic A. Today, it surfaces episodically in discussions of quotas in the workplace, immigration law and granting asylum to someone else's huddled masses.
It is ironic that we have been settled and enriched by many waves of immigration, becoming the world's most diverse society, yet seem unable to distill from this experience the wisdom and sensitivity to cope with both our own and other people's ethnic and cultural tensions.
Fortunately, all is not reduced to fear and loathing along the world's human fault lines, whether they run through Cicero, Ill., or the blood-soaked African bush. There is good reason to believe that people of varied backgrounds can coexist, if given the chance. Knowledge and leadership are key.
One of the more enduring myths of American sociology is that racial or ethnic integration of formerly homogenous (read white) neighborhoods inevitably triggers decline of the community and of the value of property.
Some years ago, one of us studied the history of neighborhood changes of this type and found that the "incursion," normally of upwardly mobile black families into all-white areas, usually led ultimately to improved housing values. It was unprincipled real estate speculators, preying on white fears, who often encouraged panic selling, then profited by raising prices for incoming black families.
He encountered numerous examples of stable interracial communities throughout the country. Where block associations and community organizations existed to allay false concerns and provide a means to defend against unscrupulous real estate agents, neighborhoods were able to deal rationally with change and to assimilate a more diverse population.
What has occurred in Bosnia-Herzegovina is all the more tragic because Muslims and Serbs seemingly had put ancient animosities behind them and learned to live together, often in the same neighborhoods. Until, that is, so-called national leaders introduced the higher cause of "ethnic cleansing."
The international community, chagrined and impotent, almost seems to be sitting back, waiting for this process to run its course in Bosnia and elsewhere. But then what? Is anyone giving serious consideration to the consequences of economically driven immigration throughout the world? Or to defusing ethnic time bombs ticking in Europe, the former Soviet Union, Kashmir, Angola or here among homegrown white supremacists?
The United Nations Development Programme, in its just-released Human Development Report for 1993, states: "Our world is still a world of difference. ... And because future conflicts may well be between people rather than between states, national and international institutions will need to accommodate much more diversity and difference -- and to open many more avenues for constructive participation."
The UNDP report envisions a "new role for the United Nations," with an emphasis on "peacemaking and peacebuilding," not just peacekeeping. It also envisions a standing United Nations military force, presumably capable of moving rapidly to douse ethnic brushfires and other simmering conflicts before they escalate beyond control.
President Clinton should take this cue to shift the United States' role from being perceived as the world's police to that of promoting a broad-based international peacebuilding initiative. The first stage would be a Rio-type summit at which world leaders and institutions would agree to a strategy and means for identifying potential ethno-cultural hot spots and addressing them through neutral mediation.
The United Nations and regional bodies such as the Organization of African Unity and the European Community are groping for ways in which they can act more dynamically and effectively -- yet diplomatically -- to preempt conflict "between people."
Such an initiative might also enlist respected former national leaders who have a demonstrated talent for building consensus among putative enemies. President Jimmy (Camp David) Carter is one role model, who has chaperoned peaceful change in Nicaragua and elsewhere.
The failure of recent peace ventures in Bosnia and Somalia is no excuse for discounting this approach as hopelessly idealistic. Typically, honest brokers like Cyrus Vance and David Owen arrive too late and without the support of a credible international mandate. If they and other skilled mediators could have appeared on the scene well before Yugoslavia's "leaders" pushed the self-destruct button, hundreds of thousands of innocent people might have been spared misery and death.
In Liberia, if something could have been done years ago to strengthen a more genuine sense of shared nationhood and destiny, thousands of slaughtered civilians might be alive today. At the very least, had there been an international early-warning system that could have detected the Liberian catastrophe in the embryo stage, we might not be shaking our heads at the most recent massacre of women and children.
Something, we are convinced, could have been done to avoid the holocausts in Liberia, in Bosnia, in Angola and in Somalia. It is crucial that we find out what that something is, bottle it and begin applying it as widely as possible. Otherwise, as we are beginning to realize in Somalia, no number of United Nations blue berets may be enough to restore sustainable peace once blood is on the floor.
We have learned time and again that people cannot be forced to live together in tranquility. They have to understand and value the diversity in their midst and in their world. That means overcoming fear and ignorance, which often are deliberately encouraged by political and ethnic leaders.
Ironically, we may find the greatest hope in the least likely places. Many Serbs have remained in Muslim-dominated Sarajevo, in defiance of ethnic cleansing. It is an ember which Bosnians cannot allow to die.
And there is South Africa. If any nation on earth is capable of showing us how to live together, it may well be this benighted and beloved land. Apartheid has brought out the worst in many South Africans, but it has also brought out the best in many others. More to the point, the majority of South Africans -- white and black -- appear to have decided that they have only two options: either share the country as equals or resort to a full-fledged race war.
We may never have to confront such a sobering choice. But the rapidly changing racial and ethnic demographics in this country could have consequences in the next century which we might prefer not to contemplate. How we deal with our increasing diversity, and whether we learn to draw strength from it, will ultimately define us as a nation.

Aquarium LightingLighting is one of the most important components of a reef aquarium. The proper lighting intensity is required for corals and/or invertebrates to survive. Similar to plants, corals and many invertebrates require light for photosynthesis to generate energy and food. If your corals and invertebrates do not receive enough light for photosynthesis, they will not survive.

The Nationalist Camp, an influential Likud pressure group, retracted its push for Habayit Hayehudi members to vote in
the Likud primary late Saturday night, following a Jerusalem Post investigation
that exposed the illegality of doing so.
In an email obtained by the
Post, Natan Englesman, one of the Nationalist Camp's leaders, wrote a
"clarification of the previous email on voting in the primaries of two different
"After I learned it is illegal to vote in the primaries of two
different parties, I take back the previous email I sent on the matter, and call
for those who joined Habayit Hayehudi to not vote in the Likud primary,"
Englesman wrote hours before the Likud primary ballots opened, shortly after the
Post published the contents of his previous email.
Earlier Saturday,
Englesman asked new Habayit Hayehudi members who had formerly been members of
Likud to attempt to vote in Sunday's primary.
The email also contained
recommendations of Likud candidates they think would best represent the
interests of those who support and live in Judea and Samaria, such as Manhigut
Yehudit leader Moshe Feiglin, Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister
Yuli Edelstein, coalition chairman Ze'ev Elkin, MKs Tzipi Hotovely, Yariv Levin,
Haim Katz and others.
It is illegal to be a member of more than one party
and, according to the law, it is the individual's responsibility to leave a
party when he or she joins another.
The Justice Ministry compared the
lists of several political parties on October 28, and found that 2,800 people
were members of both Likud and Habayit Hayehudi, according to a report by
political blogger and former Ma'ariv reporter Tal Schneider. Another 500 were
found to be members of both Likud and Labor.

Plaxico Burress is set to begin serving time for criminal possession of a weapon today. The former-wide receiver, who you may recall shot himself in the leg at a nightclub last year, will be sentenced Tuesday.
Of course, we already know what the sentence will be: He plead guilty on August 20th and agreed to a two-year term, a year and a half less than the mandatory minimum had he gone through the trial process and been found guilty.
So, the next logical question is: When can we expect him back on our fantasy teams?! CBS SportsLine has more:
Gil Brandt, an analyst on NFL Sirius Radio and the former head of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys, said Burress won't be too old for a comeback when he's released from prison.
"First of all, Plaxico is a guy who keeps himself in pretty good shape," Brandt said. "Lots of times guys get heavy in the offseason. He is not a guy who has done that."
But Brandt intimated it could be difficult for Burress to reacquire his football skills after so much time on the sidelines.
"It's like a person who has gone to college or high school and drops out of school for two years," he said. "It is hard to reacquire your study habits. I think it is hard to reacquire the work habits you need to be successful when you have been away from the game for two years or so."

FOX 32 News reports former Illinois Governor George Ryan was released to home confinement on Wednesday, after spending a short time at the halfway house he checked into earlier that morning.
SEE: George Ryan released, arrived at halfway house undetected
Ryan, 78, was released to a home confinement plan at his home in Kankakee. As of 10:30 a.m., he was sitting in his living room, enjoying his 17 children and grandchildren, waiting to begin his life after federal prison.
Sources close to the ex-Illinois governor said the Bureau of Prisons, which controls Ryan's destination, apparently decided that he would not benefit from the programs offered at the Chicago halfway house - like check writing and how to write a resume.
Bureau of Prisons' spokesman Chris Burke said Ryan's status wasn't factored in. He said rules prevent him from speaking about Ryan's specific case. But he said age and health are typically among the factors.
George Ryan's lawyer, Jim Thompson, also spoke on the matter saying they didn't cut his client a break because he's a former governor. Thompson says the U.S. Bureau of Prisons "is tough" and doesn't "play favorites."
"There no point in his taking up room in a halfway house and denying that to somebody else if he doesn't need the services that they do," Thompson said. "I think it was a wise decision by the Bureau of Prisons, but it's not something I asked for, it's not something he asked for. So it is in no way preferential treatment."
Former Governor Ryan left federal prison in Terra Haute, Ind. around 1 a.m. Wednesday, after serving more than five years for corruption.
His son, Homer, drove him to Governor Jim Thompson's downtown home around 4:30 a.m., where Ryan changed from his prison sweats into a coat and a tie. Then, it was off to Chicago's Near West Side, where he arrived for orientation at the Salvation Army halfway house around 5 a.m.
Shortly after 7 a.m., Ryan walked past FOX 32 News cameras to a second building where he checked out.
He then slipped out a back door and headed to Kankakee while his spokesman, former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson, spoke to the media. Thompson said Ryan was not allowed to talk to the press.
Thompson briefed the media around noon Wednesday, saying that Ryan received a warm welcome when he returned to his Kankakee home. Many of his children and grandchildren were there.
But he also said it would have been a more joyous occasion if his late wife, Lura-Lynn Ryan had lived to see his release. Ryan was allowed to spend a short time at her bedside, just before she passed in 2011.
Andrea Lyon, a lead member of Ryan's legal team, told FOX 32 News Wednesday morning that it was very hard to watch Lura-Lynn turn ill and pass without Ryan there.
They were high school sweethearts.
As for reports he'll be visiting her grave site, Jim
Thompson said her body was cremated. An urn with her ashes sits in the home that Ryan returned to Wednesday.
At an unrelated news conference, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn spoke about Ryan, saying he served his sentence and it's time to move forward. He also said Ryan's corruption case marks a very sad chapter in Illinois history. Quinn specifically mentioned the Rev. Scott Willis and his wife Janet, who lost six children in the accident that helped trigger the Ryan investigation.
Ryan's family declined to talk about the homecoming, and Thompson said Ryan can't talk to reporters until his sentence ends on July 4. One of Ryan's grandsons will stay with him and Ryan can leave his home only on rare occasions like doctor's appointments or with prior permission.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Comments about Whirlpool 4.6 Cu. Ft. Top Loading Washer - White:
Very disappointed. I bought this just two years ago. The lid does not lock or unlocks during a load and machine stops. Had to have serviced and the repair man said I should be prepared to spend alot on fixing this machine. Seems the lid lock assembly breaks quite often. I will keep you posted how long this one lasts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Frequent User
Purchased it a little over a year and it got louder after the one year warranty was up. To fix it I was told $400.00 or live with it until it breaks. takes a long time for clothes to wash. Once finished the cloths are twisted and occasionally torn. Unbalanced when I wash comforters.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
whirlpool HE cabrio washer
By T.C.
from Manchester, CT
This is the worst washer. It has ruined so many of my clothes. It states it's a cold water setting but defaults to warm water and now my clothes bleed together. This was an expensive washer/dryer. Can't wash a comforter without it becoming unbalanced and doesn't spin out. Sales mgr gave me a hard time about returning it. So, I kept it. It will be going out with the next tag sale. Do not buy this. Awful.

Do Not Buy
By Washer Nightmare
from Enfield, CT
Bought this setup with the washer and dryer. Leveled everything correctly and followed every direction. First load sits on error code UL=unbalanced load. Took 4 hours to wash first load because of the error. Keep having to stop the washer move the cloths around and finally end up with just three jeans and two shirt washing. Even with that the unbalanced load error keeps coming up. Once the first load that took 4 hours and human contact every five minutes was done I relevel to make sure everything was leveled correctly again which it was leveled. Started second load after five minutes the Unbalanced Load came on again. Took five hours to wash since I had to sit in the basement and move the cloths around every five or so minute to get rid of the UL error. I was ready to throw the piece of junk out. I have read some reviews from other sites and people were complaing that they were having the same issue with the UL error. I thought maybe they just didn't follow the instructions and level it correctly. Since I had already paid for it now and then finally seeing the reviews I just thought I give it a chance. But my worst nightmare came true just like all the other reviewers were talking about.Took it back to PC Richard and exchanged it for the Maytax Maxima and they worked like a dream. So if you want a very good washer and dryer get the Maxima MHW6000XW. Do not get the 7000 series one though since they don't work as well as the 6000 series.I have to admit returning the piece of junk washer and dryer back and had a talk with the manager at the store in Enfield, CT. He was very accomidating and understanding and did not give me a hard time returning it. I was ready to stop shopping at PC Richard but maybe will still buy things there since the manager there is an understanding manager and is willing to work with his customers.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Join an experienced Alaskan trail guide for a walk through the natural, unspoiled beauty of a coastal rain forest found on a remote island in the Tongass National Forest.
Boarding your coach at the pier, it's a 30-minute transfer to the dock at Knudson Cove where you will board your Seahawk boat and set-off on a sightseeing journey while en route to your secluded island. Upon arrival, your knowledgeable guide will lead you through the ancient forest where you will learn about the botanic species native to this region, like Western red cedar and yellow cedar that early Natives were so dependent upon for spiritual enrichment, shelter and transportation. You will also hear how Sitka spruce was instrumental in the construction of Howard Hughes' famous "Spruce Goose" and other early vintage fighter planes. The well-maintained trail takes you through a beautiful old growth forest, by way of a secluded beach and is mostly boardwalk.
After an enjoyable hike over this gently sloped historic trail, you will stop for a break to enjoy and be treated to an Alaskan-style snack. Before heading back to your Seahawk, you'll have some free time to explore the natural beauty around you.
The return cruise back to the Knudson Cove and your waiting motor coach gives you another opportunity to perhaps spot some whales, Stellar sea lions, harbor seals, porpoise, bald eagles and other migrating seabirds. Be sure to bring your camera and binoculars on this excursion!
Please note: This tour involves approximately 3/4 mile of walking over a gently sloping boardwalk and is recommended for guests in good physical condition. The tour is not available to guests who utilize a wheelchair or those guests with mobility concerns and is not recommended for those with back or neck problems. Layers of weather appropriate clothing that is suited for the outdoors and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Guests should be prepared for the possibility of rain. Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Minimum weight to participate is 40 lbs. in order to fit into the required life jacket. Each guest will be assigned a life jacket which must be worn throughout the marine portion of the tour. Only life jackets provided by the tour operator will be permitted for use on the tour. Raingear will be provided if necessary. Participants will be required to sign a liability waiver before being allowed to take part in the tour.

Perak is the second largest state in Peninsular Malaysia, after Pahang. Its neighbours include Kedah and the Thai Yala Province to the north; Penang to the northwest; Kelantan and Pahang to the east; Selangor to the south, and the Straits of Malacca to the west. The state's capital is Ipoh and royal capital is Kuala Kangsar.
In the early 1900s, Perak was famous for its tin-mining industry, notably in Lembah Kinta. However, the tin mines have since been exhausted and other industries such as tourism, manufacturing and agriculture have become major income contributors to the state. Some of the popular tourist sites in this state include Kellie's Castle, Pangkor Island and several waterfalls and jungle trekking spots.
The property profile in Perak is diverse. Common commercial properties found mostly in towns include office blocks, shop-office units, shopping complexes and industrial lots. Residential properties in this state are terraced houses, semi-detached houses, bungalows, flat, apartments and condominiums.
Residents of Perak experience warm and sunny weather with occasional rain, which is typical of the tropical climate, throughout the year. Temperatures do not fluctuated greatly. It can go as low as mid-20 ˚C at night to mid-30˚C during the day. Heavy rainfall can be expected during the months of October to April.
More than half of Perak's population is Malay. Other major ethnic groups are Chinese and Indian. Rebana Perak, a hand-held drum, is a famous traditional musical instrument of Perak. Cultural dances include tarian dabus, tarian bubu and belotah. Ipoh is known for its sar hor fun and Hainanese chicken rice. Tambun's pomelos are also famous throughout the country. Lemang is a popular local Malay delicacy made from glutinous rice cooked in a bamboo tube. Another popular Malay dish is tempoyak, a durian extract which is preserved and kept in an urn.(Read More)

The only place in the continental US I've grown up and lived is in the southeast...you know, where the best climbing is this side of the mason-dixon and where you can buy guns, beer, bread, and fireworks in the same store. I've recently decided that I would like color TV and to marry someone I'm not related to, so I'm looking around for a new place to live. I have an opportunity to relocate to one of the below locations in the next few months. All other cultural and political factors aside, which would you choose for a climbing destination? Groton, CT Portsmouth, NH Norfolk, VA Bremerton, WA San Diego, CA Kings Bay, GA (yes, these are Navy ports...)
San Diego - for the Yosemite, Josua Tree and Red Rocks....all of them not too far away.
DO NOT GO TO GROTON CT ITS FULL OF DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS PLAYING SUBMARINERS ITS LIKE HARRY POTTER AND DAHMER HAD 5000 BABIES sorry if you are a submariner
don't even consider the 4th one on your list
No doubt about it, absolutely has to be San Diego. Besides fairly good climbing close by the Surfing is amazing, if you don't yet know how it's time to learn!
I'd stay where you are. None of those places seem appealing to me at all with the exception of San Diego.
If you can put up with the California cost of living and taxes, then the west coast seems like a no brainer.
Bremerton is 4 hours from squamish, a ferry ride from seattle (good gyms) and has a gym of it's own i think, about 90 minutes from little si, couple hours to leavenworth/goldbar bouldering.
+1 for Portsmouth, 2nd place Washington, 3rd place San Diego
WA has a short climbing season because it rains a lot. People that live there will tell you otherwise, but they are wrong. It rains a lot, and they basically only have one good trad crag; Index. It rains a lot at Index.
Portsmouth has a lot to offer, as has been mentioned. Just don't try to get out of work early by setting a fire and all will be good! To add to the Portsmouth list just a bit, there is a ton of new climbing opening up less than an hour from there in New Durham. Acadia NP in Maine is also a 3-4 hour drive as well. The downside is housing is expensive, but if you can live on base or out of Portsmouth town its better. My girlfriend is from Portsmouth and I spent a significant amount of time there last summer for work so I am somewhat familiar with the area.
Forget about Groton, there is nothing near there to brag about. Lantern hill and Ragged mtn are close by but, i would go to Portsmouth if i were you, way more things to do. The whole Maine coast is kickass, great for kayaking, white mtns aren't that far away, Baxter state park is sorta close, Acadia National park is 3-4 hrs away effing beautiful place been there 4-5 times. Boston and providence are close as well, tons of shit to do around Portsmouth.
Nofolk and that whole area around it is a shithole.
San Diego is a great place to live and is within a few hours of good climbing. Also, we sell alcohol in the same store as the rest of the food here ;)
I would go to Bremerton, WA because I'm desperate to get close to the North Cascades. Portsmouth might be cool too. 4 hours from the gunkx/'dax, less than 2 hrs from the whites, 2 hrs to a variety of awesome skiing in VT, and about 4 hrs to Katahdin for ice climbing sounds pretty sweet to me. I guess your also close to Rumney if sport climbing floats your boat.
Another thought, specific to San Diego: In whatever it is you do for the Navy, do you work a typical 9-5, 5 days a week sort of schedule, or is it some sporadic, nontraditional setup (living on a yellow submarine for 3 months, then home with lots of free time, etc.) I ask this because I felt, when I lived in California, that California cities were very frustrating as a 9-5 weekend warrior, but could work great it you have a non-standard schedule. The frustration comes from the fact that the climbing is excellent, but is a bit far away for 2-day weekend trips, and thus is tiresome to have to commute long distances to the climbing areas every weekend, especially with Friday night traffic (since everyone else is also trying to drive out of the city for the weekend). These problems are ameliorated if you have a nonstandard schedule, like week-on, week-off; this allows you longer chunks of time to drive to the excellent but far-away areas like Bishop, and makes the drive-to-climb ratios much better. Plus, you then avoid weekend traffic and crowds, which are a serious factor in a state of 35 million people. So, if you have some funky schedule, San Diego definately rises up even higher in consideration.
The gym in Richmond is sick! Also, they have a cool little wall downtown. 60ft wall of an old bridge. Unique and kinda fun. NRG is 4 hours from Richmond and worth every minute in the car.
Thanks Jon, I hadn't thought about the traffic. When I'm in port it'll be a regular workweek schedule for the most part.
I can't tell you where it's good, but I can definitely say don't go to Norfolk. Not just for the climbing either. It's a typical military town, and although I have nothing against the military, for I am former military, military towns suck ass- but then you probably already know that. By military town I mean it probably wouldn't exist if it were not for the large portion of the military so there's not a lot of culture or things to do there besides dive bar, tattoo parlor, laudromat, pool hall, sports bar, dive bar, titty bar, lather, rinse, repeat. There is one section of Granby St. that's sort of unique, but that's about it- that and Ghent which is a small section near the college. Also, it is dreary, crowded, and dirty. There are few redeeming qualities. The ocean is close by, but is about the same as any east coast beach: Va Beach=Ocean City=Myrtle Beach=Daytona. Two parallel "strips" and a boardwalk filled with tourist traps and ganster wannabes after 7:00 p.m. Plethora of boobs, shortage of decent waves. For climbing however, it is a no-go. The gym there is... well, let's just say you can get your alpine training on in the winter time, and you'll sweat like a whore in church in the summertime, and bring plenty of chalk when it rains. You aren't in close (and by close I mean within 4 hours) proximity to any "destination" spots- the closest being Seneca to the northwest at 4.5 to 5 and probably Moore's Wall that's almost due west at about 4.5 hours. I think I'd rather marry someone I'm related to than live there, but that's just me. I have been to San Diego, and I would say that it's the exception to the rule with regard to being a military town. That's partially because of the overall size of it. Never climbed there, but as I understand it, most of it is decent, and relatively close.

Matthew Kwatinetz, the Executive Director of the Augusta Regional Collaboration Project is the man city leaders are using to help persuade Georgia Regents University (GRU) and the University System of Georgia Board or Regents to expand to two historic mills and downtown.
"The intent of the Commisison was to try and support the University, support growth of the university and do what we can to be a partner in it," says Mayor Pro-Tem Corey Johnson.
On the Internet, we found this, "The Augusta Regional Collaboration Projects GRU presentation by Matthew Kwatinetz". It contains the city's proposal for the "Mills Campus", and the downtown "Cultural Campus".
But, it's also says this: "Following the embarrassment of the 'Save the A', the Augusta Commission held closed door sessions to analyze how to best address directly reaching out the newly formed to support GRU."
So, based on the presentation, Augusta Commissioners met in secret to discuss being embarrassed by the 'Save the A' campaign.
"I didn't see that presentation," said Commissioner Wayne Guilfoyle, when he we showed him a copy of it. "You were not aware of that?" we asked. "Apparently not," said Guilfoyle.
"Was that an embarrassment to this community, were those folks embarrassing?" we asked Commissioner Grady Smith. "I don't think so," he answered.
"Was there embarrassment, were Commissioners embarrassed by it?"we asked Johnson. "No," he answered. "Why would this be in there?" we asked. "I don't know, I can't even.." he answered.
Kwatinetz would know, as his name is on the presentation, but he was too busy to discuss it before speaking at a luncheon. "This was the presentation to GRU, in March?," we asked. "I don't have anything to say, right now, because I'm preparing for a presentation, but I really appreciate your time," said Kwatinetz.
But, what also might embarrass city leaders is...if they went behind closed door to talk about reaching out to GRU, that would be a violation of the Georgia Open Meetings Law.
"Closed door session to reach out to GRU violates the Open Meetings Law," we said to Mayor Deke Copenhaver. "I'm not going to comment on it," he answered.
"All this stuff...that Commissioners met in closed-door sessions to talk about that embarrassment, no that was not the case. I don't know where the information comes from, but it was nowhere near like that," said Johnson.
City leaders dismissed the report as happening in the past, but in June, Commissioners approved $300,000 for the Augusta Regional Collaboration Project, and those dollars remain to be spent, so taxpayers have a stake and how the project is going about its work.
The University System of Georgia has approved hiring master planners that will begin work next month on a study of expanding GRU, that will include the Mills Project and the Downtown Cultural Campus.
