The Heart of England/Peak District
The Wolds is an area of outstanding natural beauty with rolling chalk hills in the centre of Lincolnshire stretching for 40 miles and rising to over 500 feet. It was the inspiration for Alfred Lord Tennyson who was born in the village of Somersby in a cottage Lincolnshire and studied at the grammer school in nearby Louth.
Lying at the south-west foot of the Wolds at the edge of the Fens, Horncastle is a bustling and attractive market town, renowned for its antique shops, with a fine heritage and unspoilt by modern developments. There are some notable historic buildings, including the 12th-century Church of St.Mary and it is a good base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

Just back from a 4 night stay in the Granary and right from when we pulled up to park to when we left Dan and Hiroko made it such an easy and pleasant stay. Our 2 dogs loved the walk through the woode… More

"Beautiful, clean, well equipped cottages in idyllic rural surroundings"
My family and I stayed here for a week over the Christmas period. We had a very pleasant and friendly welcome from the owners. The cottages are well equipped, extremely clean and fresh, and the decor is outstounding.
Very peaceful and quiet surroundings - couldn't ask for more!
Will definitely be back!!

"A great stay in rural Lincolnshire with 2 perfect hosts!"
We had a great stay with Dan and Hiroko, after travelling over from Germany and needing somewhere to stay, with 3 dogs, while we went on our house hunt.
We booked for 3 weeks and then stayed for a further few days as we enjoyed it so much. The cottages are in a great rural location within Lincolnshire but 2 market towns are only a few minutes away by car.
We also visited the coast several times and other locations within the county, such as the Kinema in the Woods, at Woodhall Spa, a great experience for the first timer.
A really superb break in old England with great hosts.
It was great to arrive after such a long journey after travelling across Europe, to find Hiroko waiting for us, just like coming home.
A great break we would`nt hesitate to reccomend!

When a radio station wants to broadcast a program that reaches as many ears as possible-even remote listeners in the hinterlands-it amps up the signal. But when content marketers with branded content to promote seek to swell their audience, it's not as simple as cranking up a dial. Wider distribution of content that's created to grow affinity and brand consideration-and not necessarily to hawk a product or service-requires careful research, planning, and execution to overcome the significant challenges today. Smart publishers, content providers, and marketers need to recognize these challenges and develop effective strategies to connect with the crowds in a landscape that's already overcrowded with competitors.

Founded in 1873, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is one of the oldest zoos in the United States and a National Historic Landmark. More than 1.2 million visitors pass through its gates each year to visit the zoo's collection of more than 500 animals, which ranges from the tiny poison dart frog to Asian elephants. In addition to its animal exhibits, the zoo also features a botanical garden, a "4-D" theater, multiple gift shops, and a variety of restaurants and concession stands.
When the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden became aware of a shift in its attendance patterns, it knew it had to gather and analyze data on these changing trends in order to be able to adjust its strategies to be prepared for the future. However, because of the wide mix of systems involved in the day-to-day operation of the zoo and the glacial turn-around for key business data, in-depth and timely analysis was all but impossible. The zoo needed a solution that could gather data from multiple systems and produce useful business intelligence to help it make decisions in multiple aspects of the business process.
Founded in 1911, IBM provides hardware, software, consulting, and other services for a wide variety of technology and business needs. In 2008, the company acquired Cognos Incorporated, a suite of business intelligence software. As part of IBM's Business Analytics, Cognos provides real-time analytics and business intelligences to users through a single interface, pulling together information from a wide array of sources to let businesses and other organizations make informed strategic decisions.

- With a brush, paint glue mixture onto Styrofoam ball.

Editorial: All hands on deck
It's been mentioned on many occasions, in all kinds of competitions... "Whoever wins will be worthy." Well, no community fromVancouver Island to Newfoundland could be a more worthy Hockeyville than Castlegar. Granted, it's a tall order to convince the folks in a place like, let's see... Campbellton NB, for example (not even sure they're entering), or The Pas, MB that our "hockeyness" is the ultimate. But, then again, they're not the ones we have to convince. In-depth details are upcoming.
Expect a groundswell of hockey-hysteria to surge into the local consciousness now that the Kraft Hockeyville announcement has been made. And by all means, join right in!
Hockey players, coaches and fans like to talk about team-building... bonding with comrades toward a common goal. This is a major opportunity for us to do the same and, get this, we've all made the squad. The only challenge now is making sure we keep our roster spots by being as enthusiastic and supportive as humanly possible. This means using every available means to promote Castlegar as Kraft Hockeyville 2014. We're talking all media, from social... to morse code... tocarrier pigeons!
Don't expect to be able to shirk a share of the workload... not without facing the resulting stigma, at least.
There will be no 'healthy scratches' here... and the phantom "upper body injury" will not be an easy sell, either.
From the puck drop to the announcement of this year's Hockeyville... everyone's asked to keep your head up, don't be afraid to stick your nose in... and for Pete's sake, keep up the offensive pressure!

MedPAC Recommends FFS Benefit Changes
Medicare's fee-for-service benefit design should be changed to provide better protection against high out-of-pocket cost sharing and to create incentives to encourage beneficiaries to make better healthcare decisions, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) said in its latest annual report on Medicare and the healthcare delivery system. The report was released on Friday.
"The design of the FFS Medicare benefit package…has remained essentially unchanged since the creation of the program in 1965," the commission said in its executive summary. "Over the years, Medicare FFS prices and the amount of services beneficiaries receive have grown dramatically; as a result, some beneficiaries many now incur a very large cost-sharing liability."
The nonpartisan MedPAC is charged with advising Congress on Medicare payment policy issues, including reimbursements to physicians, hospitals, labs and imaging centers. The focus on beneficiaries is a shift for the commission and reflects its position that "how beneficiaries view the Medicare program and how they make decisions about their health care are vital to the program's success."
The report makes recommendations in three benefit areas: benefit design, care coordination in FFS Medicare, and care coordination for dual eligibles.

Much of the complexity of modern finance is the result of regulatory arbitrage – avoiding or minimising restrictions by engaging in a transaction with more or less identical effect but more favourable regulatory treatment. Many regulators still cling to the hope that it could be eliminated if only rules were sufficiently extensive and sufficiently carefully prescribed. But this is an illusion.
Why simple and robust regulation is the way to reduce financial complexity
27 August 2014, Financial Times
No universal law predicts the outcome of disruptive innovation
20 August 2014, Financial Times
The use of hindsight to reformulate a question in such a way that it validates one's original thesis is especially widespread among consultants and gurus. But an approach sufficiently loosely formulated that it can explain everything after the event actually explains nothing at all.
Authors should back Amazon in the battle with Hachette
13 August 2014, Financial Times
Established companies in all industries are inhibited in their response to radical change by vested interests inherent in their existing business models. Now, in publishing, it's time for the author to be placed where he or she should be – in charge.
How to fix Scotland's independence depositor dilemma
11 August 2014, Financial Times
If Scotland introduces its own currency the first minister should declare that all contracts made in sterling – or dollars – will continue to be payable in that currency.
If you take the bonus, you should take the rap
06 August 2014, Financial Times
When falsification of reports, or mis-selling of payment protection insurance, is common practice rather than the avocation of one rogue individual, the culpability of those in charge should be automatic.
Why mean outcomes are often meaningless
30 July 2014, Financial Times
There is never such a thing as a single true and fair view, only a range of possible outcomes. To assess a value from the mean outcome is as meaningless as the observation that the average person has 1.99 legs.
Competition in banking does not necessarily benefit consumers
23 July 2014, Financial Times
Limited competition may actually yield worse results for customers than either full-blooded competition or a cartel. Perhaps that explains the particularly tentative approach of the Competition and Markets Authority.
'Trust me, I am a financial adviser' is not good enough
09 July 2014
Concepts of fiduciary obligation have been watered down in the modern financial services sector. It is time to reverse that.
A British identity crisis has hobbled the No campaign
02 July 2014
The Scottish referendum is unlikely to produce a majority for independence. But in the absence of a positive assertion of what it means to be British, the United Kingdom is sleepwalking towards separation.

OBoom is still selling a virtual mountain of extreme and sick pornography from it's website. There is an endless supply of bestiality content made available.
Just yesterday we posted about the huge amount of extreme and potentially illegal content available on OBoom. Since then nothing has changed. In fact we're finding more of it.
OBoom is a site which needs to be shut down, it's obviously out of control with huge amounts of extreme and potentially illegal content present on the site. There are no controls in place, anyone can upload anything and they get paid to do so. OBoom pays it's uploaders as much as 60 Euros per 1000 download or 95% of each sale their download generates.

Spend three-and-a-half minutes in pleasant wonder and pride, as you visit several beautiful San Jose parks.
We begin 2014 with a very special announcement. San Jose Parks Foundation is partnering with the San Jose Sharks and a handful of parent and kids from the Pueblo de Dios neighborhood to buiild a much-needed KaBOOM! Playground.
KaBOOM is a national nonprofit organization that specializes in building playgrounds in communities and neighborhoods that need them and might otherwise be unable to build one. KaBOOM! finds a corporate sponsor - in this case the San Jose Sharks - to pay most of the expenses of buidling a playground.
KaBOOM! works with a community group, like the Ken Pyle-led Pueblo de Dios group and a nonprofit organization (San Jose Parks Foundation) to raise the remaining funds and to recruit voluntteers to do the build.
KaBOOM! has helped build more than 2,400 playgrounds across North America, several of which are in the South Bay. The build day will be March 7, 2014 and we will need about 100 volunteers to build the park in six hours.

Con Artists Posing as IRS Agents
Timothy Camus, Deputy Inspector General for Investigations at the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, spoke on August 12 to the National Association of Tax Professionals in Orlando, Florida. He reported that over 1,100 taxpayers have been fleeced of $5.25 million by con artists claiming to represent the IRS.
The IRS is currently tracking over 91,000 reports of con artists who are impersonating IRS employees. Camus stated, "That has been and continues to be the number one issue for us. I have spoken to people about identity theft, and though it continues to be a big, big problem, I think this impersonation scheme has overtaken it, in terms of impacting a broad number of people with large dollar amounts."
The prime method for these con artists is to use a series of telephone calls. On the initial call, the con artist claims that he or she has an IRS badge number and often can state the final four numbers of the victim's Social Security number. These last four digits are frequently acquired through records from medical centers, clinics or nursing homes.
The con artist claims to be from the IRS and many individuals are persuaded that this is the case. He or she typically will threaten the victim. Because the IRS has power to seize assets, the victim is frequently intimidated. The con artist will also regularly threaten to take away the victim's driver's license or business license.
The first caller is often followed by a second caller. This person claims to be a sheriff or police officer and states that the victim is going to suffer loss of various assets if the tax bill is not paid immediately.
The collection method is through a prepaid debit card. The con artist threatens victims and then directs them to go to a local store to purchase a debit card. This card is then transferred to the con artist.
Camus sought to reassure the attendees by noting, "Victims who refuse to cooperate are threatened with deportation or loss of business or driver's license. The one thing I can guarantee you all is that the IRS will not take anybody's driver's license for not paying your taxes."
Editor's Note: Individuals and their professional advisors are urged to take basic steps to protect their personal information. It's also important when you are on the Internet to avoid suspicious web sites. If you receive unsolicited and suspicious emails, block the sender using the appropriate command in your email account.
CPAs, attorneys and other professional advisors should encourage clients to be aware of the importance of protecting personal data. If clients are contacted by a con artist, they should report that person to the IRS. If the taxpayer does owe taxes, then the IRS number is 800-829-1040. However, if no taxes are owed and the taxpayer believes that the caller is a con artist, then he or she should contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
Senator Wyden Preparing Anti-Inversion Bill
As the August Washington recess continues, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-OR) is conferring with Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) on an anti-inversion bill. Senator Wyden urges prompt action to reduce the number of large corporations who are proceeding to invert or move their tax headquarters overseas. Wyden stated, "This issue demands a resolution in the near term, and I hope to have bipartisan legislation in place come September."
There are ongoing discussions regarding the method for addressing inversions. Sen. Schumer is proposing a bill that would reduce from 50% to 25% the maximum amount that net interest paid to a related party can exceed adjusted taxable income.
The interest deduction method is referred to as "earnings stripping." The deduction by the U.S. division of the overseas entity creates reduced taxable income and lower U.S. corporate tax. However, little or no tax is paid on the interest under the foreign nation tax rules.
Currently, any disallowed net interest is carried forward indefinitely. In addition to reducing the threshold limit from 50% to 25%, Schumer's bill proposes a five year limit to the carry forward.
Walgreens Corporation reported last week that it did not plan to go forward with a proposed inversion. If Walgreens had inverted and transferred its tax headquarters to Switzerland, a report by Barclays Capital, Inc. stated that it could save $797 million in tax per year. Ninety-eight percent of these savings would be the result of earnings stripping.
Senator Hatch indicated that he is open to working toward finding a short-term solution. However, he stated that his cooperation is contingent upon taking steps toward comprehensive tax reform in 2015.
Editor's Note: Sen. Wyden is pursuing a two-part plan. First, he hopes to pass a bill that reduces the incentive for corporations to pursue an inversion. Second, Wyden also recognizes that the majority of industrialized nations now have a corporate tax rate of approximately 25%. If the U.S. is to retain its large corporations, then it will be necessary to broaden the base and reduce the rate close to that number.
Cemetery Lots Charitable Tax Shelter Expires
In Michael J. McElroy et ux. v. Commissioner; T.C. Memo. 2014-163; Memo. 15253-11 (12 Aug 2014), the taxpayer invested in a Maryland partnership that purchased cemetery lots. The partnership planned to purchase lots, hold the lots for one year and then donate them to charity. The Tax Court determined that the IRS final partnership administrative adjustments (FPAAs) were timely and not barred under Sec. 6501(a) by a three year statute of limitations. The court also denied a Sec. 165 loss deduction because the charitable plan was never intended to be profitable.
Promoter Glen R. Johnson created three Maryland partnerships: Partnership Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-2, Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-3 and Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-4. Each general partnership was created in subsequent years. Over the three years, the partnerships acquired multiple cemetery lots with a cost of $95,639, $169,167 and $252,373. Approximately one year after acquisition, the partnerships donated each group of lots to charity and claimed charitable contribution deductions of $1,864,850, $2,936,700 and $5,282,050.
Unfortunately for the investors, the partnership did not in fact hold the lots for one full year before the charitable transfer. Therefore, under Sec. 170(e), the charitable deductions were limited to cost basis.
Taxpayer McElroy invested $37,500 in 1995, 1996 and 1997. Promoter Johnson claimed that the deductions would produce tax savings of $50,000 or more each year, thus generating more value in tax savings than the initial investment. Based on his share of the partnership deductions, McElroy reported charitable contributions of $135,127 in 1996, $143,899 in 1997 and $155,820 in 1998. Because of the 30% of AGI limitation on appreciated property gifts, $51,633 of the total deductions was carried forward and deducted in 1999.
The IRS audited the partnerships and issued timely FPAAs on March 31, 2000, April 11, 2001 and March 29, 2002. Promoter and tax partner Johnson was the subject of a criminal investigation. He was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States by causing others to claim millions of dollars in false and fraudulent tax deductions for charitable contributions. Johnson plead guilty to that fraud charge on April 12, 2007.
On April 1, 2013, the court determined that the appropriate deductions for McElroy were $6,999 in 1996, $8,372 in 1997 and $7,520 in 1998.
Taxpayer McElroy made two claims in the present action. First, under Sec. 6501(a) the three year statute of limitations had run because promoter Johnson was under criminal investigation. Therefore, the FPAAs were not timely. The court noted that there was no exception for this circumstance.
Second, McElroy noted that under Sec. 165(a) a business loss is deductible. Since the partnership had no value, the taxpayer should qualify for a $37,500 loss deduction. However, the court observed that under Sec. 165(c)(2), a business enterprise must seek a profit in order for the deduction to qualify. Because planning to produce a charitable deduction is not a profit-seeking motive, the loss was not qualified.
Editor's Note: Fraudulent charitable tax shelters such as this are the primary reason for the rather extensive appraisal rules and the penalties on appraisers for inappropriate valuations. In addition, when taxpayers who have been involved in fraudulent charitable plans appear before the court, they cannot expect to be treated with generosity by the Tax Court Judge.
Applicable Federal Rate of 2.2% for August -- Rev. Rul. 2014-19: 2014-32 IRB 1 (18 July 2014)
The IRS has announced the Applicable Federal Rate (AFR) for August of 2014. The AFR under Section 7520 for the month of August will be 2.2%. The rates for July of 2.2% or June of 2.2% also may be used. The highest AFR is beneficial for charitable deductions of remainder interests. The lowest AFR is best for lead trusts and life estate reserved agreements. With a gift annuity, if the annuitant desires greater tax-free payments the lowest AFR is preferable. During 2014, pooled income funds in existence less than three tax years must use a 1.4% deemed rate of return. Federal rates are available by clicking here.

Village of Ballston Spa comes in under tax cap
Approves $3.85 million in spending
BALLSTON SPA The Village Board has adopted a 2013-2014 budget that includes a 1.6 percent property tax increase and a hike in water rates.
The spending plan totals $3.85 million, up from $3.68 million in the current fiscal year.
Property taxes will increase by 1.57 percent, from $74.33 per $1,000 assessed value to $75.50 per $1,000.
The village assesses property at a small fraction of its full value. Under the new rates, a home assessed at $14,000 would pay $1,057 in village taxes, $16 more than this year.
Mayor John P. Romano said the biggest drivers of increased spending are state-mandated pension contributions and health care costs.
"The cost of doing business for everyone, public and private sector, keeps going up every year," he said.
In water rates, the minimum use rate, which covers most single-family homes, would increase from $36 every six months to $43.20. The minimum charge covers using up to 30,000 gallons of water every six months.
Romano said it is the first water rate increase since 2006, and is needed to keep up with the cost of business.

1. Don't try to piss quietly. Nobody in a public restroom thinks you're knitting in your stall. They came to piss, just like you. And if you have to take a dump, do it. Get over your fear of public toilets. It'll make life a lot easier.
2. Masturbate. Masturbate a lot. Talk about it with your friends. You've got the right to make yourself feel good and brag about it just like all the boys with extra large kleenex packages on their desks.
3. If you want the large fries, get the large fries. Hunger and appetite are nothing to be ashamed of, just human. Don't ever feel guilty for eating in front of others. You need to nourish your body to stay alive. We all do.
4. Laugh as loud as you have to, no matter if you snort or gasp or literally scream.
5. Fart when you have to.
6. Always remember you weren't born to visually please others. Forget the phrase "what if they think it's ugly". If you think it's lovely, it is lovely. You wanna wear it, wear it!
7. Speak your mind! You can learn to do so without insulting others or shoving your opinion down other people's throats.

Savir's corner: The one-man government of Bibi III
02/06/2014 22:40
The next weeks will be critical as the government decides, or most probably, as usual, will decides not to decide.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Davos.

It is one of the most inactive and paralyzed governments in our history. No achievements to speak of; one failed war, no economic recovery, no democratic legislation and disastrous international relations. And yet it may very well be this government that will have to make one of the most dramatic decisions in our history – in relation to realizing a two-state solution.
It is therefore a good idea to take a deeper look at the record of this government, its main players and what makes it tick.
The government is a one-man show. Netanyahu is an autocratic and lonely leader, hiding behind thick walls of suspicion. He is the sole decision-maker and is a master in the divide-and-conquer game.
Government by Bibi, for Bibi. This government took the form of its leader, suffering from political schizophrenia. In between an aspiring Churchillian leader and a marketing director, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate and a Tea Party advocate, a realist who believes in a two-state solution and a messiah of the settlers, an advocate of open democracy with total intolerance to different and opposing views, a commando officer afraid to take decisions, an extreme capitalist bon vivant with a proletarian constituency, a peace negotiator and a bellicose preacher. Netanyahu is imprisoned in between these contradictions, and so is his paralyzed government.
The current government has not moved on major issues, with very few exceptions. The good macro- economic factors (relatively high growth rate) were not translated into social progress. The cost of living is galloping – today it is more expensive to live in Tel Aviv than in Berlin. The inequality between the haves and the have-nots is growing, and we are socially one of the most unjust societies in the West. The number of people beneath the poverty line is at a record high (1.75 million, among whom half are children). The middle class continues to carry the burden of the economy with no hope on the horizon.
A strong economy and a weak society are a result of mistaken socioeconomic priorities – too much investment in security and settlements, too little in job creation, housing and social services. Our health system is suffering; "Bibi-care" leads to many sick lacking hospital beds and medications. The West Bank comes before the Negev and the Galilee, the affluent elite before the poor and minorities.
These failed economic policies are a recipe for socioeconomic decline and instability.
Inequality also characterizes the government's policies and legislation in relation to civil rights and democracy. While the government passed legislation on a more equal share of carrying the military burden, it has not been implemented. Other legislative efforts by the coalition and its members are often of a discriminatory nature, against the High Court of Justice or the Arab minority. There is governance legislation that looks to strengthen the executive powers, without any real checks and balances, and to make it harder for Arab parties to get elected.
The climate in the country is poisoned by an almost violent discourse of a racist nature, by the champions of the Right such as MKs Yariv Levin, Miri Regev and others who see no room for non- Jews in Israel. Most of the right wing of the government is not democratic by nature, seeking to concentrate all powers with the guardians of Greater Israel.
The greatest failure of this government is its settlement policy. The expansion of settlements all over the West Bank, announced by the housing minister, is nothing short of a folly. This risks our security as it creates total disbelief among the Palestinians that Israel is a partner to in peace. It isolates us in the rest of the world, most importantly in Europe, including among our best friends, such as Germany. A boycott, not only of settlements but also of Israeli companies that are active beyond the Green Line, is beginning to hurt our companies. We are beginning to pay a high price for this messianic extravaganza. Israel has never been so isolated, and this at a time when economies are more interconnected and interdependent than ever.
There are a few positive achievements of this government, especially the reforms in the areas of education and transportation. Shai Piron, one of the few effective ministers, advances significant changes in many aspects of education, such as the reform of the high school matriculation exams. He is exceptional in this government, as he cares more about what he does than how he looks. Also the transportation system is being reformed effectively by Minister Israel Katz, with better linking of the center to the periphery. The much promised and needed housing reform is still awaiting a change in land prices. Cheap housing is to be found only in the settlements.
All in all, this is a "so far, so bad" and disappointing government; the big hope of the last elections, Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid, has let his constituency down. The winners of this government are Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, who eat up the national resources that would have transformed the socioeconomic priorities.
The missing link to a change of priorities and policies is a real peace process. Until now the government can at least be commended as for having agreed to be involved in the American-led process.
There is no doubt that the most outstanding minister is Tzipi Livni, in her roles as justice minister and chief negotiator with the Palestinians. Yet peace negotiations without decisions on peace are futile.
The prime minister is reluctant to take any meaningful decision. Until now he has acted as a politician, not as a statesman. His main goal and achievement is the survival and well-being of his government, not his country.
As a result, the only active player in the peace process is the Obama administration. It will, with Secretary of State John Kerry's framework for future negotiations, force the prime minister to make real choices. The crossroads we are nearing on an American vehicle is between relative peace and intifada and war, between a Jewish democracy and a binational state, a place among the family of nations and a pariah state, between a growing economy and socioeconomic hardship, between Jewish moral values and Jewish racism.
The socioeconomic challenges, as well as our democratic identity and systems, depend on the decision on peace. Only if it will be a clear choice that actually leads us toward a realistic and acceptable two-state solution this year, will the economy start to turn around. Investment will grow, tourists will come, and priorities will change. Our European and American partners will increase trade, cooperation and investment. Resources will become available for social services and the middle class. The cost of living will most probably go down; housing will be more affordable, education more available.
This, however, will necessitate colossal decisions – a gradual return to the 1967 lines, a shared capital in Jerusalem; in return, stringent security arrangements along the borders and the Jordan River, no right of return, mutual recognition of two nation states, diplomatic relations with the Arab countries, upgraded security cooperation with the United States and the highest non-member EU status. A good deal for Israel as proposed by John Kerry; a very hard choice for Netanyahu. The same is true for Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians.
Also in his third term Netanyahu is a "yes, but" politician. He most probably will want to say that to Kerry in order to gain more time in futile negotiations.
He is an Israeli "third way" politician, with the third route (not yes, not no) leading nowhere.
He has every right to say no, refuse the American proposal and pay the international price. He has a duty to say yes and make the historic decision to go to a two-state solution, to pay the price, but mainly to reap the advantages.
This would necessitate a fundamental policy reform, if not a personal transformation to free himself from the prison of conflicting interests and views and turn from politician to statesman. It would also lead to a fourth Netanyahu government, without Bennett and with Labor. Even those who oppose him, such as myself, must hope for such a change; a Bibi IV Government supported by most of the country, making peace with independent Palestine.
Yet most probably we are stuck with this government, paralyzed by internal contradiction, placing political interests over the country's destiny and being adverse to the rest of the world. The next weeks will be critical as the government decides, or most probably, as usual, will decides not to decide.
The writer is honorary president of the Peres Center for Peace and served as Israel's chief negotiator for the Oslo Accords.

Happy shouts float across Swings-N-Things Family Fun Park, whipping out of the mouths of drivers racing around go-kart tracks and captains ricocheting off one another in bumper boats. The satisfying clunk of colorful spheres falling into holes on the mini-golf course perks up ears in the sprawling complex of indoor and outdoor attractions. Go-kart drivers whiten their knuckles behind the wheel of 9-horsepower Honda engines, tearing through a quarter mile of twists and turns on the Grand Prix track as if it were a high-school principal's lawn. Alternatively, patrons frolic across the park's two outdoor mini-golf courses before practicing their aim in a laser shootout game, and children ages 10 and younger scramble their socked feet over slides and rides inside the Kids Korner indoor play area. Swings-N-Things Family Fun Park is easily accessible from the area's major highways.
Buckeye Lanes' glossy lanes provide a place to foster camaraderie and healthy competition. Easily heftable bowling balls and bumpers accommodate children during normal business hours and birthday parties catered with hot dogs or pizza slices, which can be held in a person's not-bowling hand. During Rockin' Bowl two nights a week, the alley morphs into a pulsing nightclub from midnight to 2 a.m. with orbs hurtling amid dimmed lighting and cranked up beats. In the snack bar and lounge, pool sticks thwack cue balls on eight billiards tables and patrons devour sandwiches or demolish karaoke tunes.

Twenty years ago Megan had her heart broken. Not that she would ever admit it. As a surgical resident in New York City, she stitched up a wounded young cop named Tommy Sullivan who had been shot during a drug bust, and a passionate love affair ensued. It ended just as tempestuously when he cheated on her. Reeling from this betrayal, Megan returned to Philadelphia, vowing never to be hurt again. She built a highly successful career and an equally successful marriage... Or so she thought. She never appreciated how the demands of her career were taking a toll on her personal life until her husband divorced her and she lost custody of their then 7-year-old daughter, Lacey. Adding to this trauma, Megan then suffered a car accident that left her with a condition called paresthesia, characterized by random attacks of numbness and cramping of her hands.
Tragically this condition failed to manifest itself until Megan's first trip back to the operating room; she lost control of her instruments and her patient died on the table. Megan's life as a neurosurgeon was over.

Does This Steve Jobs Email Reveal Secret Apple Product Plans?
Like the previous patent-infringement trial between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (SSNLF.PK), the current trial is proving to be a rich source of previously unseen internal company documents. Among the various documents introduced into the court record on Friday was a fascinating email written by legendary former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The email revealed clues about Apple's product plans in 2010 and provided insight into Jobs's mindset when it came to dealing with the company's competitors.
As noted by The Verge, Jobs's email outlined the topics to be discussed at the company's next annual "Top 100" meeting. The highly secretive Top 100 meetings gathered Apple's best executives, managers, and employees together to discuss the company's products and strategies for the next year. The email consisted of what Jobs called his "current cut" of eleven general topic headings with various bullet points under each heading.
Perhaps one of the most interesting topic headings was "Apple TV 2." Under the "Apple TV 2" heading Jobs wrote, "Strategy: stay in the living room game and make a great 'must have' accessory for iOS devices." Another bullet point suggested adding content from NBC, CBS (NYSE:CBS), Viacom (NASDAQ:VIA) (NASDAQ:VIAB), and HBO. The next bullet point simply stated "TV subscription?" suggesting that Jobs was already exploring the possibility of enabling the Apple TV product to stream live television shows and currently running programs.
According to unnamed industry sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, Apple is currently in talks with Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) over the possibility of creating a streaming-television service that would bypass congestion caused by public Internet traffic. The proposed service would feature the usual on-demand video content as well as various television channels.
