AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday demolished Kenan village, east of Yatta, established by Palestinian and foreign activists, and declared the area a closed military zone.
Eyewitnesses said that a big number of IOF soldiers attacked the activists and tore down the tents they pitched on land threatened with confiscation for settlement purposes in the areas to the south of Al-Khalil.
Younis Arrar, the coordinator of protest activities in the southern Al-Khalil areas, said that dozens of IOF soldiers attacked the 30 activists in the area located between Baraka village and Khirbat Al-Tuwana hamlet to the east of Yatta and confiscated the tents after knocking them down.

"States may not deport or transfer parts of their own civilian population into a territory they occupy."
State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in international armed conflicts.
International armed conflicts
The prohibition on deporting or transferring parts of a State's own civilian population into the territory it occupies is set forth in the Fourth Geneva Convention.[1]
It is a grave breach of Additional Protocol I.[2]
Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, "the transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies" constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.[3]
Many military manuals prohibit the deportation or transfer by a party to the conflict of parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies.[4]
This rule is included in the legislation of numerous States.[5]
Official statements and reported practice also support the prohibition on transferring one's own civilian population into occupied territory.[6]
Attempts to alter the demographic composition of an occupied territory have been condemned by the UN Security Council.[7]
In 1992, it called for the cessation of attempts to change the ethnic composition of the population, anywhere in the former Yugoslavia.[8]
Similarly, the UN General Assembly and UN Commission on Human Rights have condemned settlement practices.[9]
According to the final report of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Dimensions of Population Transfer, including the Implantation of Settlers and Settlements, "the implantation of settlers" is unlawful and engages State responsibility and the criminal responsibility of individuals.[10]
In 1981, the 24th International Conference of the Red Cross reaffirmed that "settlements in occupied territory are incompatible with article 27 and 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention".[11]
In the Case of the Major War Criminals in 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg found two of the accused guilty of attempting the "Germanization" of occupied territories.[12]

Lee Stanley is part historian. Shelton Mitchell is a part of history. On this day, their worlds came together for the first time at this site, home to the Nike Missile Base.
Shelton was the commander here in 1964. He hasn't seen these radar towers in over a decade. "One radar was for following the target, the other was for guiding the missiles," he said.
On these towers, giant radar dishes scanned the skies for enemy and unidentified aircraft at a radius that could reach New Orleans. Other radars guided more destruction to the enemy than anyone around here knew about. "A ten kiloton bomb will destroy an entire fleet, or an entire town," said Mitchell.
Those missiles, 12 in all, were a mile away from this fire control center. Tall dirt berms were used to deflect rocket thrust or accidental explosions upward, rather than outward.
"This was a top secret operation, with nuclear missiles, but no one around here knew about it," added Lee.
These nuclear warhead missiles weighed 5 tons each and flew at 2,600 miles per hour. That kind of fire power put shelton in charge of an expensive battery. "60 or 70 million dollars worth back then," says Shelton.
Time cannot bury Shelton's memory of his finger on the launch button, waiting for the fire command from Colorado springs. Nor can it bury these radar towers that helped scan the skies. The original fence and flagpole the army installed are still here, as are the buildings.
And those whose homes are near the Anchorage rehabilitation center may have never known they were neighbors with the Army and it's Nuclear missiles. Here are some links for aerial phots of the sites near Albany:

Nike is named for the the Greek goddess of victory.

Lisa Brennan did not consider herself a gardener, yet last year she found herself hanging potted plants from the ceiling of her video rental store, Four Star Video Heaven. Window shoppers who pass Four Star Video's glass entrance face a terrarium of DVD cases, permaculture books and gardening supplies.
Brennan introduced Sprout, the green section of the store, to customers last April. Including gardening products inside any video rental shop is unexpected. However, Brennan's advocacy for sustainable agriculture vis-?-vis Sprout fits within the store's history of supporting community initiatives and events. A few years ago Brennan collaborated with Planned Parenthood and the Madison AIDS Network to raise awareness of sexual health by providing condoms to interested customers.
The inspiration for Sprout came from Brennan's increasing awareness that problems such as global warming and pollution of the water supply stem from current agricultural practices.
"Large scale agriculture [and] genetic modification – this is very heavy input agriculture," she said. "It seems so very, very unsustainable to me."
With Sprout, Brennan hopes to promote "sustainable" agricultural practices, including growing produce on a small scale for local consumption using renewable and recycled materials and planting diverse strains of plants.The latter point is of particular concern to Brennan.
She says the current agricultural system is vulnerable to plant diseases because of widespread use of single strains of plants.
"If you look at the Irish Potato Famine, it was caused by a lack of genetic diversity," Brennan said. "Everybody was growing the same variety of potato, and when a blight hit, it really took out everything. We're really in a position where that could easily happen to us again because we grow so few varieties."
Speaking to farm owners and members of the Madison Area Permaculture Guild gave Brennan ideas for solutions that she could incorporate into Four Star Video's operations.
After the guild put Brennan in touch with local seed and compost vendors, Brennan began to stock Four Star Video with seeds and tools for indoor sprouting. She places emphasis on the do-it-yourself aspect of small-space gardening by providing examples she has created in the store.
"The planters that we have hanging on the front of the store, I made those out of rain gutters," Brennan said. "We just strung them together with chains, drilled drain holes … and we grow greens in them during the season.
In addition to providing fresh food to eat, Brennan points out home gardening is inexpensive and efficient.
"There are really amazing amounts of stuff you can grow on these very small plots, and in some cases, contain [your] gardening on balconies," she said. "It's amazing how much how you can actually do once you figure out how to maximize your space."
Brennan says Four Star Video customers have been very receptive to the addition.
"[Initially], there was a certain amount of bemusement," she said. "It's an unusual combination." However, the store soon attracted a following.
Brennan said many Four Star Video customers find casual interest in Sprout, but a number of them come in just for the green aspect of the store.
Brennan also points out that plants brighten the space. The growth catches your eye – above the cash register dangles a canvas bag that strongly resembles a behind-the-door shoe hanger.
"It never fails to get comments when people come in," Brennan said.
Brennan has several ideas planned for Sprout's future. During the autumn harvest season, for instance, she wants to add food dehydrators to the store's stock of pickling and canning supplies.
Amid the novelties and food preparation products, Brennan still wants the ecological importance of gardening to remain a focus of Sprout.
"I think we've gotten very disconnected in this way," Brennan said, "and I think it's very valuable exercise to get out there and reconnect to the way that food is grown."
Sprout is located inside Four Star Video Heaven at 449 State St. The store is open daily between 10 a.m. and midnight. For more information about Sprout customers can call Four Star Video at (608) 255-1994.

What exactly is wheat germ?
Wheat germ is the "heart" of the wheat kernel, the seed of the wheat plant. But when wheat is processed and made into flour, the wheat germ is removed because it contains oil that can make the wheat go rancid. Don't confuse wheat germ with wheat "bran," which is the tough outer coating of the wheat seed.One ounce of wheat germ has only 100 calories and it contains six grams of protein, four grams of fiber and 10 percent of your daily iron requirement. It's also low in sodium and high in essential fatty acids.So what can it replace in your daily diet?
"If you eat one ounce of wheat germ daily, then you don't need to take a fiber supplement or Vitamin E supplement," says Wellness Expert Peggy HAll. "Wheat germ is a rich source of both."
Peggy explains that the fiber helps to naturally reduce cholesterol. Vitamin E is a potent anti-oxidant, which is considered anti-aging. Is it also high in B vitamins for energy and metabolism, and one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids for skin, hair, brain, moods and heart health. Wheat germ is a good source of protein for muscles and skin, and a rich source of folic acid, which is essential for heart health.Peggy recommends that you add your daily wheat germ to smoothies, sprinkle it on salads, stir it into yogurt, add it to your cereal, or you can even bake with it and add it to casseroles to extend the portion sizes. Use it as a coating for fish or chicken; sprinkle it on ice cream for a nutritional boost.
And the best part? Wheat germ is also easy on the pocketbook, because it only costs about $1.00 a pound.

India now has its first all-gay bookseller: Queer-Ink.com, an online bookstore, recently launched in Malad, a suburb of Mumbai, the Hindustan Times reports.
Owner Shobhna Kumar, a lesbian who has worked as a counselor, activist, and HIV prevention speaker, describes her reasons for opening the store as "selfish" ones: "I could not get access to these books and Amazon would not deliver them. I think they wouldn't get through customs as they offend Indian sensibilities. There are a few Indian online bookstores, but they take weeks to deliver. I figured other people must be in the same position."
Queer-Ink.com carries fiction, academic books, health books, works on parent-child dynamics, children's titles, and a host of magazines. Erotica is not for sale. Kumar explains, "Gay people want role models, to see their lives reflected in fiction. I think one would hesitate to pick up books like this in a normal retail space, which is why I did it online."
Queer-Ink.com also serves as a community portal, complete with a calendar of LGBT events throughout the nation. Many of the events listed so far are discussion forums, as Kumar hopes to encourage people to "talk about queer issues." As she puts it, "To me, queerness is not particularly about sexuality, but also radical thought."
She also encourages writers to submit their works to Queer-Ink's Writers Corner, which the site describes as a "nurturing environment." The site is "committed to unearthing new voices and [wants to] give them the airing they deserve."

Now, here's a reality show we can really get pumped for: blowing up stuff -- like a make-believe "Tiger Wood" golf bag and a head cover that sports a vague resemblance to Woods' friend "Frank" -- just for the fun of it. And that's just what host and former Miss USA Tara Conner ("We're not playing putt-putt, people") and her demolitions-expert pal Rene Diamante do in this explosive video inspired by Tiger's ex-wife Elin Nordegren's expert use of a 9-iron.

Wells came off the bench as punishment for being late to a team breakfast. It marked just the second time since he enrolled at Maryland in 2012 that he did not start. He entered the game in the first minute of play and went on to make 6 of 9 from the floor. Maryland (13-9, 5-4 ACC) shot 51.8 percent (29 of 56), won its second in a row and beat the Hokies for the fourth-straight time.
Virginia Tech (8-13, 1-8) stayed with the Terrapins until the final minute of the first half. The Hokies trailed 37-35 after Will Johnston hit a 3-pointer with 1:31 left in the half. But Maryland got 3-pointers on its final two possessions -- from Seth Allen and Jake Layman -- to take a 43-35 lead at halftime.
Ben Emelogu opened the second half with a 3-pointer for the Hokies to cut the Maryland lead to 43-38. But the Terrapins answered with a 14-2 run to grab a 17-point lead and take control.
Wells scored four points in the run, including a one-handed dunk that prompted a Virginia Tech timeout with 16:06 remaining. Nick Faust's 3-pointer capped the run and gave the Terrapins a 57-40 lead with 14:51 to go.
The Terrapins went on to lead by as many as 23, and the Hokies never got closer than 14 the rest of the game.
Allen added 16 points for the Terrapins, and Layman and Faust had 10 each.
Emelogu paced Virginia Tech with 21 points. The Hokies, who shot just 37 percent (20 of 54) lost their eighth-straight game. They have lost their last three by at least 20 points.
Virginia Tech head coach James Johnson's opening statements:
It was another tough one this afternoon. I thought our guys came out to start the game ready to play. I thought we competed, we gave effort, but we didn't do it for 40 minutes and we didn't play smart the whole time. There were two key segments in the game, when we were up six and they went on a 12-0 run and then with about a minute to go before halftime it was 35-37 and we were on the line with a chance to tie it and we come away with nothing and it ends up as an eight-point game at halftime. I thought that took a little air out of us going into the locker room at halftime. We came out after and scored on the first possession, we tried to get something going, but we weren't able to sustain it down the stretch. I give Maryland a lot of credit, they did a good job on us defensively and they made shots.
On the play of Jarell Eddie …
That's something we've talked to Jarell about. When his shot is not going down, he needs to be able to do other things. Especially since he is a senior, we expect that from him. A lot of the things he does depends on him making shots, so when the shots aren't going down it affects the rest of his game and it affects our team. That's one of the steps we have to try and get past. He's a senior that we're counting on, but it just didn't go down for him today.
On the recent skid and what direction the team is moving in …
No, because like I said, there was a time where we were up six and we were playing hard. If we were regressing we would come out not ready to play from the start. When we were up six and they went on that run, we came back, we had a chance later to tie it at halftime. I think the play tells me that we are competing, we just aren't competing for 40 minutes and I honestly am not sure if we have the gas in our tank to compete for 40 minutes. It's tough, it's very tough and frustrating for me to look down the bench and see three potential starters down there in suits, they are looking like me out there They can't help us much out there dressed the way I'm dressed. That's frustrating, but it is what it is, we need to keep fighting. A guy like Devin Wilson is playing 40 minutes, and I'm trying to steal a minute for him here and there, but that's difficult. The way we are starting games and the way we are playing early, it shows me that we still have fight in us, we're still competing, we still have effort, we just don't have a lot in the tank.
Maryland head coach Mike Turgeon's opening statements:
I think we played well. Early in the first half we turned it over, but after that we were terrific with the ball. Our execution was good. That was the best we've played for a while. I know they missed some open ones and missed some free throws, but I thought we really guarded their stuff well. Things that we talked about, we really carried out our game plan. It's the third game in a row that we shot over 50-percent, or close to that and I believe we did a good job sharing the ball, 15 assists and nine turnovers, nine turnovers is really good for us. I think everyone played well in a lot of different ways. It was fun.
On the play of Seth Allen …
Like I've said, Seth needs me on him every day. There were ten weeks where I wasn't on him and he came back after his foot was hurt, he gain a little weight. It just takes time because now he's guarding better, I'm on his every day. I think there were a lot of guys that played well, but with him sharing the ball and running our stuff it makes everybody feel like they are a part of it.
On this being a turning point in the season …
I'm much more confident than I was when I walked out of the game at NC State, but we are getting there. They showed a little bit more maturity today. We've had leads and blown them, but today we kept fighting. We were up 16, or 18 and I just thought our execution was good. I think we're getting there. We will see, we have a much tougher game Tuesday on the road at North Carolina. This was good for our guys to get this road win, and get to 5-4 in the conference and win two straight for us.

I am working on an augmented reality application on a N97. I need to get the orientation of the phone, so I would like to use the magnetometer sensor.
However I am having a hard time understanding the 3 outputs of the magnetometerXYZ channel. I thought they were supposed to be the coordinates of the North vector expressed in local coordinates (x, y and z-axis of the cellphone) but that seems not to be the case.
For example if you measure X,Y,Z for one position of the cellphone and you rotate the cellphone 180° around z-axis, I would expect the outputs to be -X,-Y and Z. But this is not the case. What does these outputs mean if not the north vector in local coordinates?
For example when the cellphone is on a flat table facing up rotated around a vertical axis, the z output is more or less stable (which is normal because the z-axis remains the same), but the x output varies from 150 to 250 and the y output from -150 to -250. And these values change if the rotation axis changes.
Thanks for your help.

Question: Does Tewksbury Patch plan to hold a debate in the state representative race between Jim Miceli and Doug Sears? These debates are a good way for people to learn about the candidates, their positions and their personalities outside of quotes and soundbites in the news. (Editor's note: Different versions of this same question came from three readers.)
Answer: Wow, for the first time I don't have to ask anyone else for an answer to a "You Ask ... Patch Answers." I can just do it myself.
The short answer is -- hopefully.
As our readers know, Tewksbury Patch views hosting debates as our responsibility in providing voters with as much information possible to make informed decisions come election time.
With that in mind, we made arrangements with Town Manager Richard Montuori to use Town Hall on Oct 11 for a State Representative Debate between State Rep. Jim Miceli and Selectman Doug Sears.
With a location secured, invitations were sent to both candidates, as well as to Warren Carey, who is serving as Miceli's campaign manager. The format was to be simple. I would moderate. Questions would come from myself, from readers and the candidates would have the chance to ask questions of each other.
Though I had not reached out to Joe Dermody yet, the goal was to broadcast the debate live on Tewksbury Public Access and tape delay in Wilmington.
Sears responded with an acceptance to the invitation.
I received a phone call a day later from Jim Miceli declining the invitation as presented. He emphasized he was anxious to debate but wanted to do so under his terms. He pointed out that Carey was organizing "something" for candidates at the high school but I pointed out that had nothing to do with our planned debate.
Miceli said he wouldn't agree to anything until he and Carey could sit down with Sears and myself to negotiate terms of the debate, including date, format and place.
I agreed and sent out another email to Carey and to Don Ordway, who is serving as Sears' campaign manager. The email sought possible dates for a meeting between the two camps and Patch.
As of Sept. 29 at 11 a.m., Ordway has responded by phone but I have yet to hear from Carey by phone or email regarding possible dates for this meeting.
So, as things stand now, no debate is set. However, it the goal of Tewksbury Patch to schedule this 1-on-1 debate as soon as possible. The voters of Tewksbury and Wilmington deserve it. Hopefully, politics and gamesmanship will not stand in the way.

- About Ateneum
Vincent van Gogh's intense colours and furious brushwork express the sublime vibrancy of nature amid the rhythm of the seasons. The human figures sowing and reaping in so many of his works tend to express the insignificance of human labour, driven endlessly by the natural cycle. Van Gogh's correspondence reveals his rich emotional life, but his life as an artist was not an easy one. He produced the bulk of his oeuvre during two frenetic years of work in Arles in the south of France, overshadowed by illness.
Van Gogh was born in Zundert in the southern Netherlands. After working as an art dealer and as a preacher he decided, in 1880, to become an artist. He lived in Brussels and in various parts of the Netherlands before moving to Paris in 1886. There his art-dealer brother, Theo, introduced him to Impressionist painting and avant-garde artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Signac and Paul Gauguin. His palette brightened radically and he experimented with modern styles.
In 1888, Van Gogh moved to Arles, depicting the Provençal landscape and people. Paul Gauguin joined him in Arles later that year and the two artists worked together briefly before Van Gogh suffered his first mental breakdown in December 1888, and their collaboration had a dramatic ending. A few months later he committed himself to the St-Rémy asylum, where he stayed for a year, continuing to paint and draw profusely.
In 1888, 1889 and 1890 Van Gogh was represented at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, and in 1890 he was invited to show with Les XX in Brussels. His paintings started to receive some acclaim, but Van Gogh was deeply frustrated by his recurrent bouts of mental illness. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 29 July 1890, in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. The Ateneum's Street, Auvers-sur-Oise (1890) is one of his last works.

A new look at loop quantum gravity
View Single Post
Apr21-10, 10:15 PM
Sci Advisor
PF Gold
Last year several of us discussed the Corfu QG school, where Rovelli, John Baez, Vincent Rivasseau,
Abhay Ashtekar and John Barrett taught minicourses---each gave a series of five lectures on new QG results and active research areas. That was in September 2009.
Rovelli's course was about "new look LQG" or words to that effect. The abstract summary he posted was intriguing, but we never got to see the slides. (The Corfu organizers seem to have suffered from technical problems or lack of resources, as most of their school's QG lectures were never made available on line.) So we've been waiting to learn the content. What is the "new LQG" that Rovelli was talking about in Fall 2009?
It now appears that the Corfu course description seems to correspond to some of the material in
section 3 on pages 6 and 7
of the "new LQG" paper we just got. There may be other parts that match as well.
See what you think. I will recall Rovelli's September 2009 course description:
Covariant loop quantum gravity and its low-energy limit
I present a new look on Loop Quantum Gravity, aimed at giving a better grasp on its dynamics and its low-energy limit. Following the highly succesfull model of QCD, general relativity is quantized by discretizing it on a finite lattice, quantizing, and then studying the continuous limit of expectation values. The quantization can be completed, and two remarkable theorems follow. The first gives the equivalence with the kinematics of canonical Loop Quantum Gravity. This amounts to an independent re-derivation of all well known Loop Quantum gravity kinematical results. The second the equivalence of the theory with the Feynman expansion of an auxiliary field theory. Observable quantities in the discretized theory can be identifies with general relativity n-point functions in appropriate regimes. The continuous limit turns out to be subtly different than that of QCD, for reasons that can be traced to the general covariance of the theory. I discuss this limit, the scaling properties of the theory, and I pose the problem of a renormalization group analysis of its large distance behavior.

Former Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton had an eventful reign, having fired Phil Fulmer and hired the likes of Bruce Pearl, Lane Kiffin, and Derek Dooley. He's now taking a break from athletics management and working with the charity Blood:Water Mission. It aims to help fewer children in Africa become orphans by increasing availability of clean water and reducing the rate of AIDS infection. Regardless of what anyone thought about how Hamilton ran UT's athletics department, everyone said he's a good man. He's proving that to be true.
Clay Travis is reporting that the NCAA will charge Tennessee, Lane Kiffin, and Kiffin assistant David Reaves (now with New Mexico) with a failure to monitor violation. It largely stems from the improper use of hostesses from the now-defunct Orange Pride organization, some of whom were seen and photographed at high school games of recruits. Travis says the NCAA will charge Reaves with spearheading the campaign, but UT and Kiffin will be hit as well. Failure to monitor is usually a major violation, but it's not as bad as lack of institutional control. I personally am still left wondering how Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton has a job. He presided over the disastrous Fulmer-to-Kiffin transition, and now he's got violations in the two most visible sports on campus. We'll have more on this as the story develops.

The alligator is a large lizard-shaped reptile with four short legs and widespread toes, five on each front foot and four on the hind feet. The three inner toes on the front and back feet are clawed and the hind toes are webbed. The hide is rough and scaled and the tail is long and muscular.
Young alligators are black above, with bright stripes and blotches of yellow. The belly is cream colored. In the adult these yellow markings disappear so that the back becomes uniformly dark, although the underparts remain light colored. Both male and female alligators are the same color, and there is no way to tell the two apart on the outside.
The skin on the alligator is very tough and covered with smooth horny scales in rows. The head of the alligator is large, flat, elongated and equipped with enormous jaws, hinged far back so that the mouth opens wide. The alligator's upper and lower jaws each contain about 40 pointed teeth.
The Alligator lives in the Slough habitat.

BOSTON (February 28, 2013) — Gloria Steinem, one of the most significant and iconic figures of the women's rights movement, will visit Simmons College, Friday, March 22, to discuss modern feminism and social activism.
Steinem, who visited the Simmons campus 40 years ago when she delivered the 1973 commencement address and received the first doctorate for Human Justice awarded by the College, will address students, faculty, and staff in the talk, "The F Word: Feminism Today." Steinem's visit is part of SimmonsPalooza, a series of events and programs focused on the celebration of diversity, inclusion, and social activism at Simmons. The event is being organized by the Simmons Class of 2013 in collaboration with the Office of Student Leadership and Activities, the President's Office, and the Alumnae Association Executive Board.
(Please note: Steinem's keynote address is a Simmons-only event and is SOLD OUT)
Social activist, writer, editor, and lecturer, Steinem has been an outspoken champion of women's rights for more than 40 years. She helped create both New York Magazine and Ms. Magazine, helped form the National Women's Political Caucus, and is the author of many books and essays. In more recent times, Steinem has spoken out about some of the pressing issues of the day, such as work life balance for women.
"We've demonstrated that women can do what men do, but not yet that men can do what women do. That's why most women have two jobs — one inside the home and one outside it — which is impossible. The truth is that women can't be equal outside the home until men are equal in it," Steinem told the New York Daily News in 2009.
Founded in 1899, Simmons College (www.simmons.edu) is a nationally recognized university located in the heart of Boston with a history of visionary thinking, a focus on leadership development, and social responsibility. It offers undergraduate education for women, and renowned coeducational graduate programs in nursing and health sciences, liberal arts, library and information science, social work, as well as the nation's first MBA program designed specifically for women.

Saturday 20 July 2013
Manchester City have signed their second striker in the space of 24 hours after securing the services of Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old Montenegro international will now join up with his new team-mates over the weekend as they prepare to take part in the Barclays Asia Trophy.
Jovetic, who started his career at Partizan Belgrade where he made history by captaining the side at the age of just 17, has forged a reputation as one of European football's most exciting young forwards following a successful spell in Serie A.
He scored 12 goals in 51 games for the Serbian side before moving to Italy in 2008 for a fee in the region of £8m. In five seasons with La Viola, Jovetic mustered 35 goals in 116 Serie A appearances, although he missed the whole 2010/11 season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.
Jovetic, who has also been capped 27 times by Montenegro and scored 10 goals, will wear the No 35 shirt for City next season. His arrival comes less than a day after that of Spain striker Alvaro Negredo and represents City's fourth summer acquisition, following deals for Spanish international Jesus Navas and Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho.
City supporters will hope to get their first glimpses of Jovetic, Negredo, Navas and Fernandinho in the Barclays Asia Trophy semi-final, when Mauricio Pellegrini's charges take on South China at Hong Kong Stadium on 24 July. Three days later they will meet either Tottenham Hotspur or Sundrland at the same venue.
A limited number of tickets are still available for semi-finals day and can be bought here.

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
1966 Ford Mustang GT350 - Go Green Go
Jerry Clement's '66 GT350 Took Some Long, Lean Green To Get Where It Is
To start in the beginning, the GT350 you see here was built to go fast and not look back. Dressed out in Ivy Green and factory Cragar wheels, it came away from the Shelby facility missing some things-and these were omitted quite intentionally. According to Jerry Clement, the car was destined to race, since it came with radio delete as well as heater delete. The rest of the car is standard Shelby, which is to say quite an exceptional car.
Under the hood resides the solid lifter 289 HiPo with the Shelby add-ons of Tri-Y headers, Cobra aluminum intake and valve covers, and the specially prepped 715 cfm carburetor. Behind the stout little 289 was the T-10 Borg Warner four-speed-a holdover from 1965. Rearward of that was the 3.89 Detroit no-spin diff. At the corners were the special Cragar SS wheels and Goodyear Blue Dot tires. It was sold new at Town Motors to a local Inglewood, New Jersey, resident who must have pressed the go pedal a quarter mile at a time according to the 28,000 mile odometer reading.
From Jersey, the Shelby bopped its way out to the Idaho region where it did some time before returning to Detroit and more racing on Woodward Avenue. There are no reports of how it fared on the street. From there it meandered over to Stacey restoration in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where Jerry managed to pick it up after selling his Boss 302.
Now let's move ahead to the hard part. To restore a GT350 to Gold Trailered status today takes work. New old stock (N.O.S.) parts have to be located-phone bills can mount to the point that companies like MCI, AT&T, and Verizon start sending you "thank you" cards and well wishes in the holiday season, personally signed by the company president. After you manage to find the parts, there is the small matter of financing them. Some items can practically bankrupt a project before it even starts.
Though Jerry wasn't bankrupted by his car, he undertook the restoration of this jaw-dropping Ivy Green '66 GT350.
"The restoration took about six years," he said. "While the body and paint were being done at Stacey's Restoration in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, I was chasing down N.O.S. parts and restoring all the chassis and body components."
What Jerry did with his money is awesome. It stopped us in our tracks at the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) Spring Fling at Abe Martin State Park in Nashville, Indiana. No expense had been spared-in time, effort, or finance. So now Jerry, upon completion of the green monster from the Shelby factory, is loath to drive the car. Yet the old beast begs to be driven-and Jerry hears the call every time he starts the engine. Imagine the torture: all that green and you have to trailer it. As far as we are concerned, Jerry is justified in trailering the Shelby. Why? Because it serves as a tribute to the Shelby legend.

Motorists are asked to be alert to this operation and to slow down when approaching and traveling through the construction project at the York Split.
The repair operation should be finished and southbound I-83 restored to two lanes of traffic by 3:00 p.m., a PennDOT spokesperson said.

By Shawn Regan
---- — BOSTON — Welfare benefit cards would be emblazoned with the photograph of the person authorized to use them, as one of several reform proposals in a $33.8 billion state budget approved yesterday by the House Ways and Means Committee.
The Legislature shied away from putting photos on electronic benefit transfer cards last year when a review commission expressed concern about the cost. Gov. Deval Patrick has also indicated he opposes the idea.
But state Rep. Brian Dempsey, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said the House is prepared to make a strong push for the measure this time.
"EBT card trafficking is a big problem," said Dempsey, who unveiled the Ways and Means budget with Speaker Robert DeLeo yesterday. "We are committed to EBT reform and cutting down on fraud and abuse."
Another reform proposal in the Ways and Means package requires the Department of Early Education and Care to review licensed child-care facilities to make sure no sex offenders are living at the same address. The measure comes in the wake of a report from state Auditor Suzanne Bump that found that 119 sex offenders had addresses that matched the locations of 75 child-care providers.
Level II sex offenders, whose identities are only available now upon request at local police stations, would also be posted online, according to the Ways and Means plan.
In response to another crisis over evidence tampering at state drug evidence laboratories, the Ways and Means budget proposes $3 million to hire 43 short-term employees and $846,000 to build out the headquarters of the State Police drug lab in Maynard to address a backlog of testing samples.
The statewide spending proposal now heads to the full House for debate and then the Senate.
The plan calls for a 3.9 percent increase in spending and $500 million in new gas, cigarette and business taxes.
But the Ways and Means plan cuts $1 billion off Gov. Deval Patrick's budget proposal, which seeks to increase spending next year by 6.9 percent. The governor's plan relies on $1.9 billion in new taxes to pay for transportation projects and increased education spending.
The tax revenue divide between the two plans sets the landscape for the coming political theater and what promises to be tense negotiations in the months leading to the start of the new fiscal year July 1.
The Ways and Means proposal boosts funding for local aid by $21.3 million over last year and increases public school aid by $25 per student, or $109.5 million. It also dedicates enough new revenue to UMass to avoid tuition and fee hikes for two years
Dempsey's plan relies on $175 million in new casino licensing revenues, $350 million from the state's cash reserves and the $500 million tax package. The House approved the tax hikes Monday and the Senate is gearing up to consider them
The House voted 97-55 Monday night to approve the tax package that would raise the state's gas tax by 3-cents, increase the per-pack cigarette tax by $1 and impose new taxes on utility companies, software services and out-of-state corporations doing business in Massachusetts.
The House tax package, while opposed by Republicans and fiscally conservative Democrats who don't want any tax increases, falls far short of the governor's proposal for a larger mix of tax hikes to pay for his $1.9 billion transportation and education plan. Patrick has promised to veto the Legislature's proposal if it doesn't come closer to the $1.9 billion in new tax revenue he wants.
In pitching the Ways and Means proposal yesterday, DeLeo said it delivers services to people who need them while paying heed to the fragile economy and the state's strapped finances
"Fiscal prudence is how he have kept our unemployment rate below the national average and it is the reason we are one of only four states with more than $1 billion in our stabilization fund," DeLeo said, referring to the reserve account that is also known as the "rainy day" fund.
The Ways and Means plan, which the House will begin debating April 22, draws $50 million less than Patrick's proposed spending from reserves. The fund would stand at $1.1 billion after it is tapped for next year's budget under the House plan, DeLeo said.
Dempsey said his plan directs $265 million of the new tax revenue to transportation, and uses the balance to invest in local aid, Chapter 70 education aid and higher education. The proposal increases local transportation aid, which is used to pave and improve roads, for every city and town in the Merrimack Valley, Dempsey said.
The Ways and Means plan relies on $719.5 million in one-time revenues. Of the $838 million in estimated tax growth next fiscal year, the committee's budget reports that $308 million will be consumed by increased costs of human and social services and $188 million in collective bargaining costs, leaving $530 million for other spending.
Dempsey's budget level funds the special education circuit breaker and regional school transportation at $235.5 million and $45.5 million respectively.
The Ways and Means budget proposes reforms and initiatives in the areas of health and human services oversight, higher education and early education and care, including a requirement that the Department of Transitional Assistance issue photo ID cards for electronic benefit transfer card recipients intended to weed out EBT fraud.
The budget plan dedicates $39 million in increased funding to the University of Massachusetts as part of a strategy to achieve a 50 percent balance between state and university funding over the next two years that UMass officials have said would be sufficient to freeze tuition and fee rates for two years.
State universities and community colleges will also see a bump, in part because of new gaming money earmarked for the community colleges.
The budget proposes a 10-member commission to review the financing model for higher education in Massachusetts and determine appropriate funding levels moving forward. The Ways and Means proposal calls for the same type of commission to review early education services and needs.
District attorneys would see 5 percent increases in their office budgets, under the Way and Means proposal.
The focus of the tax debate now shifts to the Senate where its Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday is expected to release a revised version of the House-backed transportation financing proposal.
The Senate bill, according to advocates and sources within the Senate, however, is expected to contain reforms and other changes that may require the two branches to reconcile the bills, a step that would delay the proposal from reaching the governor's desk.
