Genuinely managed value-added services for fixed and mobile networks
Convergence of your fixed and mobile business has already become a reality for you, particularly given the clear increase in mobile broadband usage. Convergence is also a factor in the value-added security services (VAS) F-Secure offers for PC, Mac, netbook and smartphone users. We offer you security as a genuinely managed value-added service, with the same management interface across networks, client device platforms and end-user segments.
Your customer's life is connected and converged
Your customers live a life populated with digital devices and increasingly popular services that run over both fixed and mobile networks. Consumers are highly connected through these networks, and expect to be able to access the same services wherever their mobile lifestyle happens to take them. Thus the digital home extends outside the walls of the home, and the key factor of this extension is service convergence – being able to offer the same services on different networks and various device platforms with a consistent user experience.
Mobile Internet security is a growth area
You are probably seeing healthy growth in the use of mobile Internet, either in the form of 3G cards or dongles, or in the form of netbooks. Despite the fact that these devices use your mobile network, they are computers, and demand computer security. Selling that security as a managed service can be a new, highly profitable revenue stream for you. We understand the specific needs of selling security to mobile broadband users and can make it easy for you, both in terms of integration, billing and service management.
Easy deployment for multiple devices in both fixed and mobile networks
With F-Secure you will be able to leverage one single integration project to offer security, online backup and other services to different platforms (PC, Mac, smartphones), for both fixed and mobile networks, and for different end-user segments (consumers as well as small and medium sized business users). You can provide a consistent user experience, and also ensure that your brand is consistently present throughout. We understand the differences between these platforms and, as an example, offer an SMS provisioning and billing system, which makes both service deployment and billing easy for end users regardless of network and platform type.
Interested in becoming a partner?
Is quick growth actually possible?
Needing to drive customers to higher priced packages while at the same time turning around sluggish security growth in their call centers, this Partner operator turned to F-Secure for advice and ideas.
Security is number one VAS for broadband customers globally
F-Secure Protection Service for Consumers is an award winning security solution designed from the ground up with our operator partners in mind.
It's harder to drive ARPU in the new Mobile Broadband world, isn't it?
This operator partner offered Security to its Mobile Broadband customers via their web site. The rate at which new Mobile broadband customer activated the security service was around 10%. They were unhappy with this level and approach F-Secure to brainstorm ideas and jointly develop a new approach.
What happens to your customer's files if the computer breaks down?
Nothing, if he has Online Backup installed. It automatically backs up your photos, music, email and other important files with no limitation on space.

Matthew Clement murder in Brockley: Gunman locked up for life for 'execution'
3:01pm Wednesday 19th December 2012 in News By News reporter
A MAN has been locked up for life after "executing" Matthew Clement at his front gate in Brockley with a pistol.
The 23-year-old was shot at three times outside a friend's house where he was staying in Whitbread Road at around 1.30am on May 30 2010.
One bullet grazed his chest, but the second was fired into his back - causing massive internal bleeding - and he managed to run around the corner before collapsing and dying in Howson Road.
His body was eventually found by a woman walking home with her 13-year-old daughter.
Taurean Davis, 27, of no fixed address, was given a life sentence for murder at the Old Bailey on December 19 with no right of release for 30 years.
Detectives from Trident Gang Command found that texts and calls had been exchanged between Mr Clement and associates of Taurean Davis that evening.
CCTV captured a silver Vauxhall Astra known to be used by Davis on the night of the attack and forensic tests indicated the murder weapon was possibly a Smith & Wesson.
Detective Inspector Jim Gerty said: "We may never know what the motive for Matthew's murder was but what we do know is that it would appear he was lured to a meeting of some sort and executed.
"We are pleased with the jury's verdict today and satisfied that this dangerous criminal will now spend a considerable amount of time in prison." Davis was found guilty of murder on October 18.

On other pages see Advantages 2, 3, 4.
The bulk of the children pass through the government schools without learning to read and spell tolerably. They might learn in one year and with real advantage to themselves what they now require four or five years to learn and seldom succeed in learning after all." - MAX MÜLLER.METHODS of teaching reading have greatly improved since Max Müller wrote the words quoted above. Nevertheless, even now learning to spell is a far longer process for the English child than for children in many other countries, such as Germany, Italy, and Finland, and even the native children of the Gold Coast and various other parts of Africa.
The difference is not to be explained by assuming inferiority on the part of English teachers. It is due to the unphonetic character of English spelling. The spelling of German, Italian, and Finnish is fairly phonetic, while the new orthographies of Fante, Twi, Ewe and a number of other African languages are completely so.
If we consider the short school life of the majority of our children, the time given to spelling is seen to take up an inordinately large share of it. Even so, complaints are often made of the ignorance of the "finished product" of the elementary schools.
The conviction is gaining ground that our early teaching has been too bookish. We want to give our children more manual work, more opportunities of observing nature and of exercising their bodies. We may well be envious of teachers in various other countries, who have so much more time for attaining these objects.
The saving of time would be still more marked in the teaching of the defective. Our present spelling gravely hampers the efforts of those who devote themselves to the education of the blind and of the deaf and dumb.
A rational spelling would, moreover, materially facilitate the task of those to whom English is a foreign tongue. If our present spelling is difficult to acquire for those familiar with the spoken language, it is very much harder for those ignorant of it.
The school life of our elementary school children is all too short. It will no doubt be prolonged in due course. But even when this desirable step has been taken, there is no reason why any of the pupils' time should be wasted. If 1,000 hours of their time could be saved, they would leave school much better prepared for their life's work, whatever the length of their education.
It is not only the actual learning of spelling that takes up so much time; spelling mistakes are made, and have to be corrected, in all the written work throughout the school. This leads to loss of time, to say nothing of loss of temper.
It is sometimes suggested that spelling can and should be learnt incidentally; that much reading will lead to good spelling. Experience shows that in a badly spelt language this is not the case. Dr. Wallin in his monograph on Spelling Efficiency has shown, as the result of experiments, that the systematic memorizing of lists of words will alone produce the perfect speller; and there are many instances of good readers who spell badly. When the spelling is rational, the conditions are different; the process of learning to read does not entail this memorizing, which takes up so much time without any corresponding gain.
We hear a good deal nowadays about the deterioration of spelling; it has been suggested that more time should be given to it in our schools. As long as mechanical accuracy was one of the great aims of the teaching, it was possible to produce the perfect speller. Teachers are beginning to study the child mind more thoroughly; they shrink from all unreasonable exercise of their authority. Mechanical memorizing is repulsive to them. In these circumstances the perfect speller cannot be produced; but the remedy is not to take up still more of the child's valuable education-time for this purpose, but to adopt a rational spelling that can be learnt quickly and in a reasonable way.
"It is significant of much that, though the most conservative class in the community is acutely conscious of the thousand difficulties in the way, teachers as a body are cordially with the Spelling Reformers. And why? They, above all other persons interested, know the misery and travail involved in the attempt to teach the bewildering collocation of contradictions and conundrums miscalled our system of spelling." - DR. THOMAS MACNAMARA.First published, 1913. Re-issued, 1941.

Sunday marked Chicago's coldest day since late January, according to the National Weather Service.
Morning temperatures sank to 11 degrees at O'Hare International Airport, said Charles Mott, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in suburban Romeoville. Just after midnight, the wind chill factor hit a low of 1 degree.
That ties the city's coldest day since Jan. 22, when temperatures also hit 11 degrees, Mott said.
The frigid temperatures rolled in Friday evening and are expected to remain through the week.
"These temperatures are more along the lines of January, definitely not November," Mott said.
Weather service records show the average high at O'Hare in November is 48 degrees and the low, 32 degrees.
As of noon, temperatures had peaked at 23 degrees, while they will likely drop to a low of 20 degrees tonight.
The city's record low for Nov. 24 happened in 1950 when temperatures hit 2 below zero.

The scuttlebutt from Miami was that the Marlins allotted five minutes for the ceremonial first pitch. If Dan Marino and Gloria Estefan rode into Marlins Park on the back of Xander Miami, the griffin for whom the City of Miami was named, the applause wouldn't have lasted five minutes. So what was the deal?
Turns out that it was a huge name scheduled to throw out the first pitch, and there were also logistical concerns to deal with as well. The Marlins gave the honor to Muhammad Ali, who won his first title in Miami:
There's Jeffrey Loria with his arm around Muhammad Ali, which isn't a sentence you expected to read today, nor is it an image you were expecting to see. But if the Marlins weren't going to get someone with a more regional appeal, they made sure to get one of the more beloved sports figures alive today.

Eastman Kodak Company unveiled its Kodak Digital Cinema Operating System (COS) Tuesday, June 25, at the Cinema Expo International Conference in Amsterstam, Netherlands, and announced that IBM will be a key technology provider. COS will provide a "digital backbone" to movie theatres; its components include a main server to receive and distribute information, a mini-server and projector for each screen in a multiplex, and a high-speed network to link all screens. IBM is supplying hardware such as eServers running on the Linux operating system, while Kodak is responsible for software and overall system and design.
The digital cinema system will equip theatres with the storage, scheduling, and playback capability to upgrade advertising content, and eventually with the means to digitally project movies. The COS prototype demonstrated at Cinema Expo doubles the resolution of other digital projectors with a JVC D-ILA three-million-pixel chip, and provides the flexibility for future upgrades. The system will be tested in select locations in late 2002, and should be widely available sometime in 2003.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
Trish O.Granite FallsHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairFantastic ProductThis is one awesome hair straightener. My hair is so thick and has lots of natural curl. I love it straight but until I bought this product, it took way too much effort and time to get the results I wanted. Now 10 minutes and my hair looks like it did when I would go get it done at the hair salon.

JanetSedu > ChiOne of the top straighteners I have ever used. My hair is thin, so it works well on the lower temperatures, but I also use the higher temperatures for when I'm in a rush. The plates are VERY smooth. It doesn't pull on my hair whatsoever. Heats up very fast. My friend has the Chi and I would say that the Sedu is better for 2 reasons. 1) You can adjust the heat. 2) The plates are smoother than the Chi's. Although the Chi is a very good product, I am pleased with purchasing the Sedu and I do not regret my decision. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from a girl who's been using a straightener almost everyday for the past 7 years (: The only MINOR problem I have with the Sedu is that the handle part is a little hard to clamp down because it has a lot of resistance..but other than that VERY VERY GOOD (: ALSO, I got my Sedu in less than a week from when I ordered it.

MeganCaliforniaHairLight BrownCurly HairSedu Saves My Hair!I have curly hair, and I have a lot of it. My hair straightens fairly easily but when straightening my hair it experiences a lot of damage. I had a tourmaline 1 inch flat iron that I used for a couple years and it did the job, but left my hair feeling burnt and a little dull. I went over a friends and she had a new flat iron (the sedu). I instantly fell in love. I waited for the sale on folica to purchase the flat iron and anxiously awaited it's arrival. With this flat iron my hair straightens quickly and produces amazing end results. My hair is shiny, straight, and smooth. I flip the ends of my hair with the sedu and it makes my layers look amazing. I find this product five star worthy and when paired with a great heat protectant it makes hair look fantastic.

Gretchen B.South CarolinaHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairBetter Than Chi In Some Ways, Overall A Good Replacement.I received my new Sedu about 2 weeks ago and overall am pleased, but not jumping up and down with excitement. I have long (a few inches below shoulders), VERY thick, coarse, color-treated hair, which looks like a really bad perm in its natural state. I'd been using the 2" Chi digital flat iron to straighten my hair for almost a year, and debated whether to get the Solia or the Sedu to replace it (nothing against the Chi, but it's actually my daughter's and she keeps leaving town with it, so I wanted my own). Based on other reviews, I chose the Sedu instead of the Solia. (Don't waste any time on store brands if you have thick coarse hair - gotta go with an expensive salon brand straightener or don't bother.)
Things I like: it heats up very quickly; it really does have anti-frizz ionic smoothing as part of the straightening process; it came with a heat-proof pouch that I use as a mat; it has a nice long cord; the plates have curved edges so I can flip the ends in or out or even make waves (if I wanted to); it doesn't pull or tug or damage my hair; and it is incredibly light (no more sore arms and shoulders!). I get VERY good results - slightly better than I did using the Chi.
Things that could be better: it SAYS it goes to 410 degrees, but never really feels all that hot, even when I turn it all the way up. Also, Iâ??m used to the 2â?? plates and I thought that dropping down to 1 ½â?? plates wouldnâ??t be that noticeable, but it definitely is smaller (especially if you have thick hair); I have to straighten much smaller sections of hair than I used to, and go over each section of hair numerous times (but the end result is worth it). The plates don't line up exactly - there is a slight gap at the inside edge - which is OK if you have enough hair in there, but there's a fine line between "enough hair to make the plates lie flat against it" and "too much hair to straighten effectively at one time."
Things I read in other reviews and disagree with: some folks seemed concerned that the cord doesn't swivel, but it's not a problem. It's long enough to move around without getting stuck anywhere. Several people didn't like that you can only use one hand to hold it, since the plates get hot, but I use my other hand to hold the ends of the hair I'm straightening anyway, so that didn't bother me. Since it's so light, it's easy to use with only one hand. I'm baffled that so many users think it gets "too hot," since I don't think it gets quite hot enough, but I suspect that's just due to how stubborn my hair is.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase, but I think you can't go wrong with any good name brand product. I think I would have liked the Solia too. All of them work better if you use a smoothing balm (or serum or creme or spray). I still need 35-40 minutes to straighten my hair, whether using the Chi or the Sedu, but the Sedu does give me a slightly smoother, flatter end result. Whenever I have to replace this one (hopefully not soon), I'll check the current products & reviews and decide then what to purchase.6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

SarahNew JerseyHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThe Sedu Is A Great, Respectable Product.This is a truly great straightener. It works very fast and efficiently, and it is a great investment. From the other reviews, I expected it to be AMAZINGLY better than the Chi...however I don't feel that strongly about that viewpoint. Yes, it did seem to work a bit better than the Chi, but there wasn't that big of a performance gap. I really do recommend this straightener if you have longer and thicker hair, since the bigger plates and higher heat setting straighten hair fast and safely. My hair feels very healthy and looks shiny after I use the Sedu. The only downside to this straightener is that you cannot curl with it, (unlike the Chi 1 inch). However, if you are buying this just to straighten your hair.. I HIGHLY recommend it. The adjustable heat settings allow you to decide what temperature you think is fit for your hair, which can prevent unnecessary heat damage. I do recommend using a heat tamer like the one from Tresemme, and also a finishing cream like John Freida's to prevent your hair from getting frizzy afterwards..and also to restore some of the nutrients that were lost while straightening. I live in New Jersey... which is notorious for its killer humidity, but my hair stays perfect. I would repurchase.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AmberPAHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairWonderful For Longer, Thicker Hair And Does Not Pull Your Hair Out!I was a die hard fan of GHD flat irons after trying them about 4 years ago. I was scared to branch out and try the Sedu brand. After getting the 1 1/2" ceramic I was sad I didn't try this brand sooner! A lot of people comment on the smoothness of the plates and how they don't pull your hair. This is one of the best features because my GHD pulls my hair out along the ceramic plate seams if I try to iron too much hair at a time. That is why this 1 1/2" Sedu works so much better if your hair is past your shoulders and thick like mine. I haven't had it pull a hair out yet and it makes my hair look ultra shiny like glass. The only down side to this iron is using it very close to the hair line or along the back of your neck. A smaller iron is a bit easier to maneuver for those areas of the hair. If you can afford it, buying this iron and a smaller one for the hair line should cover all of your needs! I also used this iron for the keratin treatment at home because it goes up to 430 degrees and the keratin treatment calls for 430-450 degrees of heat during the flat ironing process. I am now a Sedu fan and see what the hype is about!!!posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post

Town Square
Litter - Keep Pleasanton/ Caifornia Green and Beautiful
Original post made by Destiny Miller on May 7, 2012
The property just prior to the Sunol Pleasanton exit (on the right side of the northbound freeway 680) used to have a large sign advertising ostrich eggs for sale. A couple weeks ago the sign was torn down, torn up, leaving the debris lying all over the ground. Vandals I thought, how sad that they left such a mess. Then, 3 days later, the campaign sign for Eric Swalwell for Congress was erected in the exact place where the Ostrich Egg sign was. The debris from the other sign remains the ground. I contacted Mr. Swalwell and he stated that the owner of the property, Nicholas Chapman, gave him permission to place his campaign sign on his property, and that Mr. Chapman installed the sign himself. I'm not so sure that Mr. Chapman would just leave garbage strewn around his property, creating a complete eyesore. Obviously, Mr. Swalwell has the mentality that it is not his problem.
It's a sad state of affairs that someone in and running for public office has no concern for the state/country he is trying to represent.

The San Diego Chargers have spent a very long time underachieving with one of the most talented rosters in the league, to the point that it is now very debatable whether they actually have a playoff-quality roster. They're still very good, however, and every other team in the AFC West has question marks surrounding them. When they kick off training camp on July 25, they'll have a division title in mind as their goal for the season.
San Diego lost Vincent Jackson to free agency but did a decent job of replacing him with Robert Meachem. They also added some good pieces through the draft in Melvin Ingram and Kendall Reyes, both of whom should help on defense immediately. The Chargers also still employ Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates, so they should be able to move the ball, but they also still employ Norv Turner, which is really confusing.
For more on the Chargers, head over to Bolts From The Blue.

Jodi Corbitt had been battling depression for decades and by 2010 had resigned herself to taking antidepressant medication for the rest of her life. Then she decided to start a dietary experiment.
To lose weight, the 47-year-old Catonsville, Md., mother stopped eating gluten, a protein found in wheat and related grains. Within a month she had shed several pounds — and her lifelong depression.
"It was like a veil lifted and I could see life more clearly," she recalled. "It changed everything."
Corbitt had stumbled into an area that scientists have recently begun to investigate: whether food can have as powerful an impact on the mind as it does on the body.
Research exploring the link between diet and mental health "is a very new field; the first papers only came out a few years ago," said Michael Berk, a professor of psychiatry at the Deakin University School of Medicine in Australia. "But the results are unusually consistent, and they show a link between diet quality and mental health."
"Diet quality" refers to the kinds of foods that people eat, how often they eat them and how much of them they eat. In several studies, including a 2011 analysis of more than 5,000 Norwegians, Berk and his collaborators have found lower rates of depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder among those who consumed a traditional diet of meat and vegetables than among people who followed a modern Western diet heavy with processed and fast foods or even a health-food diet of tofu and salads.
"Traditional diets — the kinds of foods your grandmother would have recognized — have been associated with a lower risk of mental health issues," Berk said. Interestingly, that traditional diet may vary widely across cultures, including wheat for some people but not for others; the common element seems to be whole, unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods.

Trading in hasbara for politics
09/15/2012 04:03
Ayelet Shaked hopes her experience as a pro-Israel activist will help her become an MK for Habayit Hayehudi.

(public diplomacy) NGO "My Israel." Now, Shaked wants to turn Zionism into her day job, vying for a seat on Habayit Hayehudi's list for the next Knesset.
As straightforward as that may seem, there's a catch – Shaked is secular, and she wants to represent what is essentially heir to the National Religious Party in the Knesset. Habayit Hayehudi began a membership drive this summer, which ended early this month, ahead of the party's first-ever primary in November.
Plus, Shaked is a former Likud member, working with Habayit Hayehudi leadership candidate Naftali Bennett in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office when he was opposition leader, before the two founded My Israel.
Sitting on a couch in the living room of the northern Tel Aviv home she shares with her husband, an IAF pilot, and a son and daughter aged four and seven, across from shelves packed with autobiographies (Winston Churchill, Jack Welch, Richard Feynman) and popular fiction (The Da Vinci Code, Q&A), Shaked explained why she is trading in hasbara for politics, and the incongruous choice of religious politics, at that.
Why Habayit Hayehudi?
I was leading My Israel earlier this year, when there were rumors of an upcoming election. I decided, together with Bennett and [former IDF Chief] Rabbi Avichai Rontzki, to enter politics.
Our goal was to combine religious and secular and, based on the values of the Torah, be to the right of Netanyahu. We are strong Zionists, and we want to be Netanyahu's spine.
We hoped to stop boycotts of Israel, and fight those who want to turn Israel into a "state of all its citizens."
Habayit Hayehudi fit our values, especially because, for the first time, it is allowing the public to elect its representatives.
Plus, the Right is too divided, and we want one strong party to the right of the Likud.
You didn't think it was a problem to join a religious party as a secular person?
I deliberated the issue a lot. Bennett and Rontzki pushed me to do it, even though most people in my close environment said I shouldn't. I believe in being brave and trying things, and I believe in partnerships between religious and secular people, even if it isn't easy.
There have been columns in the national-religious press debating whether you should be allowed on the Habayit Hayehudi list. What kind of reactions have you been getting on the campaign?
I understand the suspicion. My rivals try to use the fact that I'm not one of them against me, but I believe in the wisdom of crowds and democracy.
The public is smart.
I go to a different campaign event in a different town each night, and I feel strengthened. I get positive Facebook messages and emails. People think a secular-religious partnership is important.
They see from my record that we share values. Religious people, even serious rabbis said they support me, like Rabbi Benny Kalmanson of the Otniel Hesder Yeshiva, and Rabbi Yuval Cherlow of the Petah Tikva Hesder Yeshiva, and former NRP leader Rabbi Yitzhak Levi.
If you, Bennett and Rontzki want to make a difference, why did you choose a party with only three seats in the Knesset that focuses on a specific sector?
We hope the party, under Bennett's leadership, won't stay small. The NRP reached 12 seats in the past, and if all religious Zionists vote as a bloc, they can get 15 seats. Our goal is not to stay with three seats, but to grow to be a significant political power.
When that happens we can deal with general issues, not just sectorial ones. Money for yeshivot and ulpanot (religious girls' high schools) is important, but we want to do other things, too.
Likud was my home for many years, and I value the party, but a sole MK does not have a major influence on Netanyahu. He froze settlement construction without considering ministers that oppose it. Same with judicial appointments. He also stopped the bill to freeze funding for left-wing NGOs that undermine our country, which Likud MKs tried to promote.
As a small party, you have more freedom, because you aren't under the prime minister's authority.
If, in the future, another disengagement is planned and you're in the coalition, would you act differently than Orlev, or would you compromise?
I can't predict the future. I don't believe in removing Jews from their homes, and I hope I will be strong and stand up against it. If there is talk of another disengagement, I won't be a part of it.
What about reports that Netanyahu unofficially supports MK Zevulun Orlev in the leadership race?
I know there have been meetings between Orlev and Netanyahu, but there's no way to know what the prime minister feels personally. It's natural that the Likud wants Habayit Hayehudi smaller, because we take seats from them. It makes sense that they're supporting a leadership that will bring our party less seats.
You and Bennett have a history with Netanyahu, leaving his office due to differences of opinion. Do you think that could hurt you politically, when the next coalition is formed?
Habayit Hayehudi is one of Netanyahu's natural partners. Over the years, the party has worked with Likud and there is no reason for the situation to change. We will back him as prime minister without preconditions.
I know Netanyahu well. I know his advantages and disadvantages. In the past, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman was director-general of Netanyahu's office, and they were very suspicious of each other, but now they work well together. Defense Minister Ehud Barak has said terrible things about Netanyahu, and look at their partnership. Bennett and I never hurt Netanyahu.
Our judgment of Netanyahu is by topic. I totally trust him on Iran, for example.
All of the analysts and the general public don't have the knowledge that he does. A leadership call needs to be made.
How do you think your experience in My Israel will help you in politics?
My Israel exposed me to a lot of people – 90,000 Facebook fans, whom I spoke to every day. I learned what bothered the public and how to speak to them. Today, I deal with a lot of the same topics, but the work is different. I always spoke very directly and bluntly, and I plan to continue, but I'll do it in Knesset committees and by passing laws. I'll have to compromise sometimes.
One of the major campaigns you led with My Israel was against migration from Africa.
For the past two years, I worked with residents of south Tel Aviv on this issue.
Until recently, people thought the infiltrators were refugees. My Israel warned people that it isn't true, that 2,000 to 3,000 – mostly Muslim – infiltrators came every month. We organized rallies, tried to get right-wing politicians to join us. We held rally after rally, and no one paid attention until [south Tel Aviv residents] got violent.
The official number of African migrants is 70,000, but unofficially there are 100,000 or more. Fifteen percent of births in Joseftal Medical Center [in Eilat] are Africans. They're always pregnant!
How do you plan to deal with the issue in the Knesset?
We can't solve Africa's problems. I know they have problems, but this is the Jewish state, not Africa.
Now that we woke up the government, the problem can be solved. The first solution is to stop employing infiltrators.
Without that step, not even a border fence will help. They should be put in detention camps, that are spread out. The government is working on a law that won't let them send money out of the country – last year infiltrators sent over a billion shekels! The next step is to deal with the infiltrators that are already here. Policy should depend on how long a person is in Israel. If they are here for over a year, they should work, but if they're newer than that, they shouldn't get visas. We should try to negotiate with thirdworld countries and send them back.
My Israel also worked to stop boycotts of Israel. Will you continue working toward that cause in the Knesset?
We can't leave the arena open to only to our enemies, BDS [Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions] activists. My Israel produced online videos and got others to try to stop boycotts. When we knew anti-Israel people were pressuring artists from abroad, we had our members explain to the singer or band that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. When thousands send that message, the artist then sees that there is more than one side to the story.
We have been fighting for almost a year so that pro-Palestinian organizations do not convince the Red Hot Chili Peppers [who performed in Tel Aviv last week] not to come.
I'm still not sure what I'll do with this issue if I'm in the Knesset. I will try to work in cooperation with the government. The Foreign Ministry, Public Diplomacy Ministry, Prime Minister's Office and Education Ministry all have hasbara budgets. If I get there, I'll see how I can help and improve their efforts."
The economy is a big political issue at the moment, with a new budget on the way. What is your position?
I believe in a free market with social sensitivity. We need to be more open and have fewer blocks on enterprise.
There are basic problems that can be taken care of to lower the cost of living – not by giving more money to people, but by removing obstructions. For example, there are huge monopolies, like the port workers, which people don't have the courage to take apart. If they do, the cost of living will be lower.
The state needs to take care of people, but not everyone and every detail of their lives. People need to be independent.
Habayit Hayehudi's primary committee decided not to designate a place for new immigrants on the party's list for the Knesset. Did you support the move?
It would be a good idea to save a spot for immigrants. The topics that concern them are important, and a lot of our potential voters are immigrants.
However, I understand why they didn't want to make a change after they already announced [the rules of the primary]. If they had thought of it at first, they should have done it, but you can't change the game in the middle.
How do you think you can help immigrants, if you reach the Knesset?
Bennett's parents are from San Francisco, and although he was born here, he is very aware of problems new immigrants face. We set a goal to reach immigrants. Bennett speaks English fluently, and does a lot of hasbara for Israel by talking to the foreign press. We translate speeches into English and put a jingle on YouTube [with English subtitles]. We also have Dr.
Yehuda David on our list, who is trying to bring French immigrants into Habayit Hayehudi.
I held a campaign event in Tel Aviv for English-speaking immigrants and returning Israelis, and about 150 people came. I think Habayit Hayehudi can be their home. They're all Zionists who left comfortable homes out of ideology and identification with Israel. These people are important to us, because our party is their natural place.
As Shaked prepared to go to the West Bank, where she planned to give a speech, a PR adviser to her and Bennett loaded her campaign poster on his computer, which featured the slogan: "Ayelet Shaked does Zionism." At his feet were a tiny pink backpack, toy cars and blocks.
How do you balance raising two small children with a political career?
It's hard to be a mom on a campaign [Shaked sighs]. My husband helps. I'm used to working hard, between my hitech job during the day and 'My Israel' in the evenings.

An elderly driver taking his dogs to the vet accidentally hit the accelerator on his vehicle and plowed through the front of the office Tuesday morning.
It happened at the Cypress Lake Plaza, near US-41, shortly after 9 a.m.
Ted Tafef said he was bringing his three dogs to the doctor at the time.
"[I hit the] accelerator instead of the brake," he said.
Tafef wasn't injured, nor were the five employees inside the office. The vehicle drove directly into the office's waiting area, but no one was sitting there at the time.
The man's wife came to pick him up. A tow truck pulled the vehicle away.
The property management company says the building is structurally sound. They put up a temporary wall until they can get new glass ordered for the office.
Part of the office is closed. The grooming area is open because it has a separate entrance.

News Archive - UMaine's Connection Center Off To A Solid Start
- It was a typical work night for freshman Environment Science major Kaitlin Flynn of West Hartford, CT, a student caller for Connection Center operated by The FUND at the University of Maine.
"It's my second semester working here," Flynn said "This is a good opportunity to get work experience, help the university, and I really enjoy talking to alumni. Pledges and credit card gifts can range from anywhere from $19.89 in honor of a person's graduation year to as much as $1,000 or a given night. Of course, some nights are better than others." Flynn has generated over $8,400 and 112 pledges, making her one of the programs top callers.
Funds raised during the sessions are used to help with department, college and university wide needs such scholarships, technology upgrades, student travel to conferences, laboratory equipment, textbooks for students in need, and activities.
"This program is definitely moving in the right direction when you consider that it is the first real comprehensive tele-fundraising effort by the university," said Ullysses Tucker, Jr., Director of Annual Giving at UMaine. "I have a wonderful group of callers; plenty of energy in the room on a nightly basis and in many ways they serve as ambassadors for our institution because they are the first real contact with many of our graduates in years. It's great listening to the conversations as the proud past connects with the bright future."
The students also update demographic information, spread the word about campus events and activities, and more importantly, secure support to offset diminishing funds from the state. In only fourteen weeks of calling (the program runs from September-April when classes are in session), the students have generated nearly $160,000 ($41, 000 in credit cards gifts) and over 2500 pledges.
While Flynn is excited about obtaining donations, she takes a practical approach to her work.
"This job experience has definitely helped me academically and socially," she said. "I've learned to talk with a variety of people, and now when I have to make a presentation for class or when I graduate and have to be in front of people, I will have more confidence in my speaking ability and communication skills.
"I've also learned how important support is to UMaine," Flynn added. It's encouraging to talk with people who have been through the same thing, and who now are in a position to – and want to – give back. Someday, I hope to be able to do that myself and help students."
For more information about UMaine giving opportunities, visit www.umaine.edu/give. or contact Christina Caron, Director of Annual Giving, at 207-581-1157 (email@example.com).

Select Route:
This is a fun route on the steep, south face of the Finger Flatiron. Although the East Face was closed in the summer of 2001, this face was open. This route follows a left-slanting, incipient crack/ramp system. Due to the diagonal nature of the route, falls could be nasty even for the follower. There are some runouts but not really too bad for a Flatiron route. The 5.8 section is short, but good route finding skills are needed to stay on the easiest line. This route gets a lot of sun and is often climbable even in winter.
Standard rack to 3".

This Alpine AHBCS2M18C00NA1P 1.5 Ton Standard Multi-Positional Air Handler has some damage incurred during shipping. There is bowing on bottom front panel and a dent on the back right corner. For detailed photos please click 'See Additional Images' above. This Alpine AHBCS2M18C00NA1P 1.5 Ton Standard Multi-Positional Air Handler meets the full manufacturer's specifications, comes with the full manufacturer's warranty, and includes Alpine's premium guarantee. For product specs and photographs of product in its original condition, click here.
Alpine's Multi-Position Air Handlers are made by Ducane and designed to improve the efficiency of any air conditioner or heat pump. These air handlers provide years of trouble-free operation because they are built to last using rugged construction with durable materials such as prepainted steel cabinets. They are durable, efficient, and allow for flexible installations since they can be used in an upflow, downflow (with additional kit), or horizontal left / right applications.

Standard Features:
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

EVANSVILLE (AP) — Police say a man was shot near the entrance of a Walmart store in Evansville while he was apparently trying to escape from men who had chased his car to the store.
Police say the wounded man was taken to a hospital after the Sunday night shooting, but information about his condition wasn't immediately released. WFIE-TV reports a 24-year-old man was arrested after the other car involved in the shooting was found at a nearby apartment complex on the city's east side.
City police Sgt. Jason Cullum tells the Evansville Courier & Press that investigators believe three shots were fired and that it's fortunate no one else was injured.
Cullum says a witness told investigators the two cars drove to the store after an altercation on the nearby Lloyd Expressway.

Buff Turkey
The Buff is a historic variety of the mid-Atlantic region named for the beautiful color of its feathers. Though never widespread, it was accepted by the American Poultry Association in 1874 and used in the development of the Bourbon Red variety in the late 1800s. The Bourbon Red, selected more purposefully for performance and promoted more widely, gained prominence, causing Buff numbers to decline. Even though the breed's color was advantageous for processing because of the nearly white pinfeathers, the Buff was not extensively selected for other performance qualities and by the early 1900s this variety had become rare. An additional obstacle to the Buff's success was the difficulty of breeding birds to meet the Buff color standard, which called for even buff coloration throughout with light flight feathers. By 1915, the Buff was removed from the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection and ultimately became extinct.
Interest in creating a buff colored turkey returned once again the 1940's. The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at Millville initiated a program to develop a small to medium size market turkey. This is one of the few instances where a new variety was developed in a methodical manner: the Beltsville Small White and the commercial Large White being other examples. The new buff colored birds, called "Jersey Buffs", were developed through pedigree breeding and selection from crosses of Black, Bourbon Red and Broad Breasted Bronze varieties. It is interesting that the original Buff was used in developing the Bourbon Red and then in turn the Bourbon Red was used in developing the newer Jersey Buff variety. A single gene for red is the same in both varieties.
The Jersey Buff has rich reddish-buff colored body feathers. Tail feathers are white with a light buff bar across them near the end. Primary and secondary wing feathers are white with buff shading. It is difficult to have the Jersey Buff males and females match in color since the females tend to lighten with age, especially after a molt. For both toms and hens, the shanks and toes are bluish-white or flesh colored, the beard is black and the eyes are hazel.
Young toms weigh about 21 pounds and mature hens about 12 pounds, both present a clean carcass when dressed. The Jersey Buff has not been recently selected for production attributes, including weight gain and many birds will be smaller than stated. The hens have been known to be good egg producers. Careful selection for good health, ability to mate naturally, and production attributes will help ensure the survival of Jersey Buff turkeys. The Jersey Buff is a calm bird and easy to work with and would be ideal for a small scale or hobby farm.

This is a true story. In the intervening years, I have often wondered whether I did my children a favor by answering their questions straightforwardly, but at the time, cornered like that, I couldn't think what else to do. Abortion rights is part of our linguistic currency; why shouldn't they know what that phrase means, and without the icing of euphemism?"Mom?" The six-year-old appeared at my elbow. His face wore a questing expression which typically preceded remarks like, How can that line I just drew on my paper contain an infinite number of points?"Mom?" he said again. "What exactly are abortion rights?"I stopped peanutbuttering in mid-swipe. Exactly? You want to know exactly?Yes, he did want to know exactly. After all, this phrase recurred hourly on the radio, alongside the hurricane news, so it must mean something at least as interestingly important as phrases like Category Three.So, figuring that an honest question deserved an honest answer, I told him. His older sister turned up while we were talking, so I told her, too. I said that abortion rights meant that in our country it is legal for a pregnant mother, who may feel frightened or unready or as though nobody will help her, to have a doctor kill her unborn baby."You're making that up," they said."I wish I were," I replied.They were outraged. It was as if I had revealed that their father and I were planning to cook them for Christmas dinner. I could see their thoughts travel into the living room, where their toddler brother was shaking a floor lamp to pieces, then back to me, and to the baby inside me, whose movements they had been tracking as they tracked the hurricanes, as we waited for her to make landfall.
I did not, after all, tell them anything like this. But what I did tell them -- that in America it is perfectly legal to kill an unborn child -- was, without embellishment, enough.
[T]hat if I lost my mind, as must at times have seemed an imminent and inevitable development, the baby inside me was the last person any authority would protect: this revelation was like a gash in the underbelly of their world, a wound which dripped with unimagined poison.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this conversation, many years ago now, changed my children's lives. It made pro-life activists of them, though that wasn't really what I'd set out to do, not being especially pro-life myself at the time. On reflection, what I'm writing right now is, as much as my children's participation in March for Life, a consequence of the same discussion. Conversation/conversion; I don't have time at this moment to explore etymologies, but by a slip of the fingers, I might just as well have typed one for the other.
Pro-choice had been my default setting since college. Though each successive pregnancy taught me all over again the humanity of the unseen person -- feeling somebody turn his or her head in the halo of your pelvis while you're standing in the grocery checkout line will do that -- and though I'd settled in my mind, and with sometimes-incredulous doctors, that I would not under any circumstance have an abortion myself (thus saving myself a world of hassle with the kinds of diagnostic tests designed to make you consider having one, because what the hell else do you do with information like that?), that was as far as my thinking had gone.
A friend of mine once put her own ambivalence regarding abortion this way: "While I was pregnant, I knew that I would let nothing on this earth harm the child in my womb. But I can't tell somebody else what to do."
At the time, this sounded reasonable to me, even sensitive. Now, I think: do other children not deserve protection? Because that is what it comes to. Each year that one of my children was born, four thousand -- on average -- died. (I got this number wrong. The truth is that on the DAY each of my children was born, roughly four thousand other children died.)They died because their mothers were poor. They died because their fathers or their grandparents said, "Get that taken care of; otherwise it's your problem." They died because they had Down Syndrome, or cleft palate -- or tests indicated that they might.
Though the reasons and rationales vary, in the end, those people died, frankly, because our culture believes that death is preferable to the potential for unhappiness. At nine and six, my children could see this for the outrage that it is. This year, when my oldest child graduates from high school, four thousand other people will not graduate, because our culture believes that death is preferable to the possibility of dropping out. (Again, the true number is more like 1.37 MILLION)
My kids didn't go to March for Life to make things worse for women. Nor did they go simply because of one unbelievably gruesome story recently come to light, however blandly the mainstream media has reported it. They went because even the cleanest, most efficient abortion clinic tells, behind its sterile facade, the same story of the throw-away-ness of human life, the story that really, children are better off dead.

An 11-year-old student being stalked by a man who approached her and asked her questions as she walked home from school in north suburban Waukegan got his license plate number and good description that led to his arrest.
Michael Johnson, 52 , of the 1600 block of 17th Street, North Chicago, was arrested and charged with child abduction, a Class 4 felony, for attempting to lure a child under 16 into a motor vehicle without consent of the child's parent or guardian.
On Nov. 19, Waukegan school officials contacted police to tell them about what the middle school student had encountered on her way her home on Nov. 12 when Johnson allegedly first tried to talk to her.
On the next day, she saw the same man in the parking lot of her school and then he followed her in his vehicle as she walked home to school. During her walk he approached her at one point when she was alone and asked her multiple questions. She ignored him and left the area, reporting the incident to school officials later.
With the description of the suspect and the license plate number police found the owner was Johnson. This week police questioned him and he admitted to his actions.
Police explained that the charge of child abduction is the charge, whether or not the child is actually lured into the vehicle or not. As of Friday he had not been taken to bond court.
"This child did everything right in removing herself from the dangerous situation, getting the license plate of the car and giving us a good description of this pervert," said Police Chief Daniel Greathouse. "Any person who is so low as to prey on innocent children needs to be locked up for a long period of time. I encourage all parents to talk to their children about strangers."
Anyone who believes Johnson may have contacted their children should contact the police department.
