In light of Israel Apartheid Week, which hit cities and campuses throughout the world recently, supporters of the Jewish state find it difficult to agree on the best response to this hate fest. Some suggest emphasizing Israel's peacemaking efforts, others propose rebranding the country by highlighting its numerous achievements and success stories. Still others advocate reminding the world of "what Zionism is – a movement of Jewish national liberation – and what it isn't – racist." Each of these approaches has its merits yet none will do the trick.Peace seeking and/or prosperity are no proof of domestic benevolence and equality. The most brutal regimes have peacefully coexisted with their neighbors while repressing their own populations; the most prosperous societies have discriminated against vulnerable minorities. South Africa was hardly impoverished and technologically backward; the United States, probably the most successful and affluent nation in recent times was largely segregated not that long ago.Nor for that matter is the apartheid libel driven by forgetfulness of Zionism's true nature. It is driven by rejection of Israel's very existence. No sooner had the dust settled on the Nazi extermination camps than the Arabs and their western champions equated the Jewish victims with their tormentors."To the Arabs, indeed Zionism seems as hideous as anything the Nazis conceived in the way of racial expansion at the expense of others," read a 1945 pamphlet by the Arab League, the representative body of all Arab states. A pamphlet published by the PLO shortly after its creation in 1964 stated: "The Zionist concept of the 'final solution' to the 'Arab problem' in Palestine, and the Nazi concept of the 'final solution' to the 'Jewish problem' in Germany, consisted essentially of the same basic ingredient: the elimination of the unwanted human element in question."Indeed, it was the Palestinian terror organization that invented the apartheid canard in the mid-1960s, years before Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.This charge, of course, is not only completely false but the inverse of the truth. If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel actually is the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East – a state whose Arab population enjoys full equality before the law and more prerogatives than most ethnic minorities in the free world, from the designation of Arabic as an official language to the recognition of non-Jewish religious holidays as legal days of rest.By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and its Arab and Muslim nations continue to legally, politically and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities.Why then should an innocent party be under constant pressure to "come clean" while the real culprits are not only left unscathed but also given a worldwide platform to blame others for their own crimes? Rather than engage in incessant apologetics and protestations of innocence, something Jews have been doing for far too long, Israel should adopt a proactive strategy, call a spade a spade and target the real perpetrators of Middle East apartheid: the region's Arab and Muslim nations.Arab/Muslim apartheid comes in many forms, and some victims have been subjected to more than one.• Religious intolerance:Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all others living under Muslim rule, known as "dhimmis." They have been loath to give up this privileged status in modern times. Christians, Jews and Baha'is remain second-class citizens throughout the Arab/Muslim world, and even non-ruling Muslim factions have been oppressed by their dominant co-religionists (e.g. Shi'ites in Saudi Arabia, Sunnis in Syria).• Ethnic inequality: This historic legacy of intolerance extends well beyond the religious sphere. As longtime imperial masters, Arabs, Turks and Iranians continue to treat long-converted populations, notably Kurds and Berbers, that retained their language, culture and social customs, as inferior.• Racism: The Middle East has become the foremost purveyor of anti-Semitic incitement in the world with the medieval blood libel widely circulated alongside a string of modern canards (notably The Protocols of the Elders of Zion) depicting Jews as the source of all evil.Likewise, Africans of sub-Saharan descent are held in deep contempt, a vestige of the region's historic role as epicenter of the international slave trade.• Gender discrimination:Legal and social discrimination against women is pervasive throughout the Arab-Islamic world, accounting for rampant violence (for example domestic violence or spousal rape are not criminalized) and scores of executions every year, both legal and extra-judicial (i.e. honor killings). Discrimination against homosexuals is even worse.• Denial of citizenship: The withholding of citizenship and attendant rights from a large segment of the native-born population is common. Palestinian communities in the Arab states offer the starkest example of this discrimination (in Lebanon, for example, they cannot own property, be employed in many professions, move freely, etc.). The Bidun (stateless peoples) in the Gulf states, and hundreds of thousands of Kurds in Syria have been subjected to similar discrimination.• Labor inequality: Mistreatment of foreign workers (especially household servants), ranging from sexual abuse to virtual imprisonment and outright murder, is widely tolerated throughout the Middle East, especially in oil-exporting countries that host large expatriate labor forces.• Slavery: The Arabic-speaking countries remain the world's foremost refuge of slavery, from child and sex trafficking in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to actual chattel slavery in Sudan and Mauritania. Indeed, Islamists throughout the Middle East have had no qualms advocating the legalization of slavery.• Political Oppression: Many Middle Eastern regimes are little more than elaborate repressive systems aimed at perpetuating apartheid-style domination by a small minority: Alawites in Syria; Tikritis in Saddam's Iraq; the Saudi royal family; the Hashemite dynasty in Jordan.Possibly the world's most arresting anachronism, these endemic abuses have until now escaped scrutiny and condemnation. Western governments have been loath to antagonize their local authoritarian allies, while the educated classes have absolved Middle Easterners of responsibility for their actions in the patronizing tradition of the "white man's burden," dismissing regional players as half-witted creatures, too dim to be accountable for their own fate.It is time to denounce these discriminatory practices and force Arab/Muslim regimes to abide by universally accepted principles of decency and accountability. This will not only expose the hollowness of the Israel delegitimization campaign but will also help promote regional peace and stability.History has shown that gross and systemic discrimination is a threat not just to the oppressed minorities, but also to the political health of the societies that oppress them. Only when Arab and Muslim societies treat the "other" as equal will the Middle East, and the rest of the Islamic world, be able to transcend its malaise and look forward to a real political and social spring.The writer is research professor of Middle East and Mediterranean Studies at King's College London, director of the Middle East Forum (Philadelphia) and author, most recently, of Palestine Betrayed.

Jeff Green's defense will be a key for the Thunder
TORONTO — Lost in the non-stop national nitpicking of Kevin Durant's defense is another player whose performance on the defensive end could be even more problematic for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
That player is Jeff Green, who has had more than his share of highs and lows this season. But it's one recent four-game stretch in particular that raises the question of whether his defense could eventually pose a problem in the postseason. In consecutive games against Denver, the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento and New Orleans, Green struggled to defend Carmelo Anthony, Craig Smith, Carl Landry and David West. At the time, Green's performance could be overlooked because the Thunder went 3-1 in those games and had won 12 of 15. But with the stakes soaring higher as the season winds to an end, it seems Green's efforts will be the key to the Thunder's fate from here out and into the postseason. Oklahoma City has built its season on defense, and the next chance for Green to prove he can put the clamps on a premier frontcourt player comes tonight when the Thunder takes on Toronto at 6 inside Air Canada Centre. "Our other four guys on the floor have to help him out because you can't guard a guy one-on-one in this league," said Durant. "Nobody can. You might be able to do it for a couple of possessions, but you can't do it every night, especially great players like the guys he's guarding." Durant's analysis of the situation echoes the sentiments of Thunder coach Scott Brooks, who, rather than criticizing Green, chose to condemn the team's help. "I tell Jeff like I tell the other guys, it's our defense that's getting scored on," Brooks said. "One of the strengths of our team defensively is that when we see a problem we make the adjustment." Green, though, is the only one who isn't making excuses. He knows the Thunder likely wouldn't have gotten blown out of Denver had Anthony not scored 15 of his game-high 30 points against him in the opening quarter. Two nights later, Smith, a role-playing reserve for the Clippers, had 19 points and seven rebounds off the bench.

Punxsutawney Phil off the hook
Updated On: Mar 26 2013 08:00:45 AM PDT
Punxsutawney Phil is off the hook for wrongly predicting an early spring -- for now.
A prosecutor in Ohio's Butler County who filed a tongue-in-cheek indictment against the famous Pennsylvania groundhog last week told The Associated Press he's dropping the charge.
Mike Gmoser said he decided on the pardon after Phil's handler took the blame for his faulty forecast.
Phil has been making his predictions at Gobbler's Knob since 1887.
If he sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of chill. If not, short sleeves are days away, according to CNN.
This year, Phil predicted an early spring after he didn't see his shadow upon emerging from his burrow.
But on the first day of spring March 20, the Northeast got pelted with more than a foot of snow. Cold temperatures have lingered, and some areas of the Midwest got nearly 18 inches of snow this week, leaving many Americans pretty crabby.
Bill Deeley, president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, said Monday he misinterpreted Phil's "groundhog-ese."
But while he worried Gmoser may go after him next, the Butler County prosecutor said he's done prosecuting animals and has a lot of "really serious work" to do.
"Maybe another prosecutor can go after the Easter Bunny," Gmoser told the AP.

'Idol' friends help keep him singing
Relevant offers
In 2004, a 17-year-old schoolboy from Taupo was named runner-up in the country's inaugural NZ Idol competition.
Where is Michael Murphy now?
Murphy, 27, was narrowly beaten on text voting in the televised NZ Idol contest in 2004 by winner Ben Lummis.
The series had its roots in shows including Pop Idol in the United Kingdom and American Idol. Reality television was a newish concept at the time.
Ten years on, Murphy still gets recognised in the street.
"It is strange - considering a decade has passed. I am sure I do not look like the same guy, but apparently I do. There are lots of photos up on my parents' walls. It is kind of hard to get away from," he says.
A lot has changed in the music industry in 10 years, Murphy says: "It is far easier to get your music out there."
But one thing has stayed the same - he is still singing and performing.
Murphy signed with Sony BMG soon after NZ Idol, went on to record a best-selling single, put out a solo album and later joined three old schoolmates to form 5 Star Fallout.
The band toured New Zealand and the United States before breaking up a few years ago.
A lot of what Murphy does now, including weekly corporate gigs with singer Rebecca Wright, comes down to relationships he formed on NZ Idol.
He is working on a project with friends who released independent New Zealand film Romeo and Juliet: A Love Song last year and want to turn it into a stage show.
He also contributed to the soundtrack for New Zealand film Three Mile Limit, the story of Radio Hauraki, with Suzanne Lynch - his singing coach on NZ Idol.
Murphy says he and Lummis were "really, really good friends" on the show; however, they have grown apart - for no particular reason.
"We bump into each other every now and again. He works pretty hard. He is still singing and is also a youth worker. He is a cool guy," he says.
Murphy is in the process of "hopefully" forming a new band with friends.
The genre will be "somewhere along the lines of rock".
"That has not changed at all. That is what I love and do best," he says.
"I am not right out there, so it is very easy for people to go, 'Where has he gone?', but I am still here. This has just been my job since I was 17."

Ask the coroner.
It's not impossible for something to do with the eggs to have killed him; but it wouldn't have been anything to do with any kind of pathogen in them. He died too quickly for that.
Possibly one was poisoned, or more likely, he had some kind of allergic reaction.

Hell on earth: The 10 most polluted places on the planet
Friday 14 September 2007
Affected people: 275,000
Pollutants: Organic chemicals, oil, heavy metals including mercury.
Source: Petrochemical and industrial sites
Once a Soviet centre of industry and the location of more than 40 rubber, chlorine and pesticides factories, Sumgayit is now home to piles of untreated sewage and mercury-contaminated sludge. Cancer rates are up to 50 per cent higher than the rest of Azerbaijan and a birth defects are common.
Affected people: 2,600,000
Pollutants: Hexavalent chromium and other metals
Source: Chromite mines and processing
Home to 97 per cent of India's chromite deposits, Sukinda's mines spew out millions of tons of waste rock into the rivers that residents drink from. A quarter of nearby residents have pollution-related illnesses
Affected people: 140,000
Pollutants: Lead and other heavy metals
Source: Mining and processing
Tianjin, one of China's largest lead-production bases, has no pollution controls. Forced to breathe air with 10 times the legal levels of lead, residents suffer lower IQs, impaired growth and brain damage.
Affected people: Initially 5.5m, now disputed
Pollutants: Radioactive dust
Source: Meltdown of reactor core in 1986
From 1992 to 2002, 4,000 youngsters born in and around the 19-mile exclusion zone that still exists around the destroyed reactor developed thyroid cancer. Five million people still live in contaminated areas.
Affected people: 300,000
Pollutants: Chemicals and toxic by-products, including Sarin and VX gas. Also lead, phenols.
Source: Cold War-era chemical weapons manufacturing. The principal site of chemical weapons production during the Cold War, Dzerzinsk is now a centre of chemical manufacturing. Over a period of 70 years until 1998, 300,000 tons of chemical waste were dumped, leaching almost 200 chemicals into groundwater. The drinking water is heavily contaminated and the life expectancy for men is just 42.
Affected people: 134,000
Pollutants: Air pollution - particulates, sulphur dioxide, heavy metals (nickel, copper, cobalt, lead, selenium), phenols, hydrogen sulphide.
Source: The mining and processing of nickel and other related metals.
The snow is black in Norilsk, and 16 per cent of child deaths at the former Siberian slave labour camp are caused by respiratory illnesses related to the city's mining operations. Residents at the world's largest heavy metals smelting complex suffer a horrifying range of illnesses including respiratory illnesses and lung cancer. Birth defects are common.
Affected People: 71,000
Pollutants: Chemicals, heavy metals
Source: Industry estates
At the end of India's 400 km-long "Golden Corridor" of industrial estates, Vapi has more than 50 factories producing petrochemicals, fertilisers, dyes and paint, discharging dangerous levels of pollutants into the groundwater. Doctors report a high incidence of respiratory diseases and spontaneous abortions.
Affected people: 255,000
Pollutants: Lead, cadmium
Source: Lead mining and processing
Children in Kabwe still bathe in the heavily polluted river that runs from the town's lead mine, which ran without safeguards from 1902 to 1994. Many have blood lead levels considered fatal.
Affected People: 3,000,000
Pollutants: Fly-ash, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, arsenic, lead.
Source: Automobile and industrial emissions
Linfen's residents are forced to breathe the toxic output from hundreds of unregulated mines, factories and refineries. Clinics report an explosion in bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancer.
Affected people: 35,000
Pollutants: Lead, copper, zinc, sulphur dioxide.
Source: Heavy-metal mining and processing
The US owners of a metallic smelter in this mining town have failed to clean up the plant, which exposes residents to toxic emissions and waste. Ninety-nine per cent of children living in or around La Oyroya have blood lead levels that exceed safe limits and acid rain caused by sulphur dioxide in the air has decimated vegetation in the area.

UN votes to recognize Palestinian state
Seen as rebuke to U.S., Israel
The United Nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to recognize a Palestinian state, a victory decades in the making for the Palestinians after years of occupation and war. It was a sharp rebuke for Israel and the United States.
A Palestinian flag was quickly unfurled on the floor of the General Assembly, behind the Palestinian delegation, as the final vote was cast.
In an extraordinary lineup of international support, more than two-thirds of the world body's 193 member states approved the resolution upgrading the Palestinians to a non-member observer state. It passed 138-9, with 41 abstentions.
The historic vote came 65 years to the day after the UN General Assembly voted in 1947 to recognize a state in Palestine, with the jubilant revellers then Jews.
The Palestinians rejected that partition plan, and decades of tension and violence have followed.
Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. Israel still controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza, and it accused the Palestinians of bypassing negotiations with the campaign to upgrade their UN status.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, jubilant Palestinians crowded into the main square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting "God is great!" Hundreds had watched the vote on outdoor screens and televisions, and they hugged, honked their horns and set off fireworks as the final vote was cast.
The tally came after a speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in which he called the moment a "last chance" to save the two-state solution.
"The General Assembly is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine," the Palestinian leader declared.
The United States and Israel immediately criticized the vote.
"Today's unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path of peace," UN Ambassador Susan Rice said.
"Today's grand pronouncements will soon fade and the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded."
Calling the vote "meaningless," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Abbas of spreading "mendacious propaganda" against Israel in a speech he rejected as "defamatory and venomous."
"The resolution in the UN today won't change anything on the ground," Netanyahu said. "It won't advance the establishment of a Palestinian state, but rather put it further off."
With most UN members sympathetic to the Palestinians, there had been no doubt the resolution would be approved. A state of Palestine has already been recognized by 132 countries, and the Palestinians have 80 embassies and 40 representative offices around the world, according to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.
Still, the Palestinians lobbied hard for Western support, winning over key European countries including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and Ireland, as well as Japan and New Zealand. Germany and Britain were among the many Western nations that abstained.
Joining the United States and Israel in voting "no" were Canada, the Czech Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Panama.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird used the podium at the United Nations General Assembly to denounce the world body Thursday for its "utterly regrettable decision" to allow a historic vote on Palestinian statehood.
Baird also suggested Canada will take retaliatory measures against the Palestinians for forcing the statehood issue onto the world stage.
The minister didn't say what Canada was contemplating, but the obvious option would appear to be suspending aid spending to the Palestinians.
Despite Thursday's triumph, the Palestinians face enormous limitations. They don't control their borders, airspace or trade, they have separate and competing governments in Gaza and the West Bank and they have no unified army or police.
The vote grants Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.

Commercial real-estate lending stronger in Denver than rest of nation
Send this to a friend
- Renee McGaw
Commercial real estate lending conditions in Denver remain better than the nation as a whole, but Denver's rate of decline accelerated faster than the national average during the second quarter, according to quarterly data published by Banc Investment Group.
"In Denver, the good news is that it hasn't deteriorated as much," said Chris Nichols, CEO of Banc Investment Group.
"Particularly industrial properties and office properties, while they've deteriorated, it's been less [than the nation]," Nichols said. "That's the good news. The bad news is that the rate of decline in Denver has picked up somewhat, and is accelerating more than the nation. We suspect there's a lag in the Denver market versus the national."
Banc Investment Group (BIG) is the capital markets subsidiary of San Francisco-based Pacific Coast Bankers' Bancshares. The BIG CRE Index is a forward-looking benchmark of relative strength of commercial real estate (CRE) lending conditions for community banks.
In the second quarter, the nationwide BIG CRE Index fell 9.3 points, or 11.5 percent, to 71.24. From the index's baseline period beginning April 30, 2007, lending conditions for community banks have deteriorated by 28.7 percent, according to the index.
In Denver, the office sector conditions index was at 83.54 in the second quarter, compared with 78.73 for the nation. But Denver's office index declined nearly 6 percentage points from the first quarter to the second quarter, compared with a drop of 4.8 percent for the national index.
Denver's retail index fell nearly 18 percent to 66.55, while the national retail index fell 15.8 percent to 65.99. Denver's multifamily and industrial sectors also declined, to 85.63 and 62.92, respectively.

So it's 40-below and Babs' mom bundles him up and tells him to go outside and play. Now that's the definition of "tough love."
Posted by OlderThanChelios from Grand Rapids, MI on 02/21/11 at 01:32 PM ET
So that is why his face always looks weathered. I guess 40 below temps chisel the face and toughen the spirit a bit. I actually knew a kid who basically grew up without tv. He was allowed every now and then an hour of saterday morning cartoons, but that was it. His mother didn't believe in telivision so there was a lot of family reading. Interessting way to grow up.

Some people are so easy to sit in awe of. I wonder if you'll ever show her this poem..........I bet she would be proud. sincerely, Mary (Report) Reply
Oscar Mireles
Courage is setting yourself free
As she maneuvered
her entourage
of a motorized wheelchair
trained assistance dog
and personal assistant
into the Olympic size swimming pool
at the health club
I thought that it was
a nice idea
to come and sit
at the edge of the pool
and that it would probably
be therapeutic
or at least a refreshing
change of place
for someone in a wheelchair
but she scooted her vehicle
into front of the first swim lane
and as she was chatting to her assistant
the dog just sat there by the door
her assistant reached behind her and
lifted her torso up and placed
her at the edge of the pool
as I was sitting in the
nearby whirlpool
at 4: 30 in the afternoon
I became curious
about what they were going to do next?
was the parapaligic
going to just go in the water
and sit or was there something more in store
when she was tossed in the water
I realized she must have been a swimmer before
you could tell by her upper body
that she had once had a sleek form
that swimmers have
powerful shoulder muscles
she started with a back stroke
her thick arms making a V stroke
her clenched fists
providing an engine to paddle her body
down the lane
since she had no control over her legs
the graceful placement of her head
during her swimming stroke
face up in the pool
forced her knees to come up
to the surface
this improvised technique
had half her body moving furiously
and the other half
the useless half
being dragged behind
she had an unusual turn
in which instead of using the wall
of the turn to propel off
she turned first sideways
and then circled back
and went on her way
but as she finished the turn
I saw a peaceful look
on her face
she had found
freedom of movement
once again
in a swimming pool
one of the most dangerous places
to be in
when you have lost control
of most of your body

Valentine's Day Adventures
Valentine's Day can be a polarizing holiday—people either love it or hate it. But some Valentine's Day plans defy the holiday's cheesy stereotypes, especially if they forego the safe route (you know, the standard romantic candlelit dinner) for something active instead. Choosing something exciting, like indoor rock climbing, is a surefire way to add a little thrill to the day and spice up your relationship.Here are our picks for a Valentine's Day romantic adventure to get those endorphins flowing.
Take a LeapSoar through the air during a trapeze class alongside your sweetie. The Trapeze School has locations in Manhattan, Boston, DC and Los Angeles. Though you may not be able to jump side-by-side, the shared experience is sure to bring you closer together.
Indoor Rock-ClimbingPut your trust in your mate as you get certified to belay your rock-climbing partner while scaling the wall at an indoor rock-climbing facility. Look for an indoor climbing gym in your area and leave your fear of heights at home.
Extreme Winter AdventureGet an endorphin blast on an extreme winter-sports adventure. If you're both experienced skiers, challenge your sweetheart to a race downhill on a NASTAR course and see how you compare with other skiers and boarders on any of the NASTAR racing programs around the country.
Snowshoeing and Cross-Country SkiingEnjoy winter fun with your favorite snow bunny on a snowshoeing or cross-country skiing excursion. Trillium Lake in Oregon has great scenery in the Northwest, while the Trapp Family Lodge in Vermont has the largest system of groomed and backcountry trails in Stowe, VT.
Hot-Air Balloon RideThe early wake-up call may not sound so dreamy, but gliding over sleeping towns and towering mountains on a hot air balloon ride can be a romantic break from the everyday. Find a hot-air balloon guide near your hometown, or head to favorite ballooning spots in Albuquerque, NM, or California's Napa Valley.
VolunteerGet a rush out of helping others with a volunteering date for unconventional Valentine's Day fun. Contact nonprofit organizations or find a good cause through the Corporation for National and Community Service with options including building homes, feeding the hungry or assisting with a children's program.
Run a RaceBreak a sweat and fuel the competitive spirit with your local running community at a Valentine's Day race. Cupid's Chase 5K Run races through 24 cities to raise money for Community Options, Inc., a nonprofit that provides resources for people with disabilities.
Ice-SkatingLose your inhibitions and take a few spins around an ice-skating rink, either in the center of a big city or a natural frozen lake. Take advantage of couples' skate to hold hands or show off your skills before warming up with some hot chocolate, a known aphrodisiac.
Urban AdventureExplore the sexy side of any city—faraway, nearby or your own hometown. Stay at any of the luxurious boutique Kimpton hotels around the country and splurge on the "Robe-Mantic" retreat, which pampers couples with signature leopard-print robes to take home and a credit for food or drinks at the hotel.

A woman was injured Tuesday when an Ocean Rescue vehicle hit her on Fort Lauderdale Beach, officials said.
Rinda Mizelle, 49, told investigators she was lying on the beach near a lifeguard stand at 800 Seabreeze Boulevard on Tuesday afternoon when the Ocean Rescue vehicle hit her. Mizelle said lifeguards pulled her from beneath the vehicle.
Mizelle had cuts on her arms and legs. She was taken to Broward General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and she was later released.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said the Ocean Rescue worker driving the vehicle was put on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Despite making our prestigious 2013 countdown, it truly feels as if zero discussion has been following The Young and Prodigious Spivet, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's (Amelie) first foray into the eye-popping world of 3D cinema. A small selection of photos had been released, some international dates had been set, and… well, that was about the extent of it. Playing it close to the chest, they were?
But as the summer movie season kicks into high gear and, with this, fall titles begin to receive trailers, previously unseen work is coming to light. Spivet just so happens to be next on the block, for Allocine have debuted an English-language, French-subtitled trailer that shows off Jeunet's typically boisterous images and burnished photography, complete with all the whimsy we'd also expect in full. Going off the supplied material (admittedly not much), an American setting could make way for a different tone than his Franco-centered past efforts — its plot follows a boy, T. S. Spivet (Kyle Catlett), who travels from his country home to the Smithsonian — but fans need not fear: much of the rest looks like Jeunet through and through.
One can see the preview below:
Also starring Helena Bonham Carter, Kathy Bates, and Callum Keith Rennie, The Young and Prodigious Spivet is expected to open this fall.
Does this look to be Jeunet's return to form?

Don't Believe Restaurateurs Who Say They're Going to "Pass On" the Cost of Obamacare
Another day, another restaurant owner whining about Obamacare:
" 'Any added costs are going to have to be passed on,' said Mike Ruffer, a Five Guys franchise holder with eight of the popular restaurants in the Raleigh-Durham, N.C. area. He will need all the profits from at least one of his eight outlets just to cover his estimated added $60,000-a year in new Obamacare costs."
This is self-refuting nonsense. The only situation in which it would make sense for Ruffer to raise prices is if price increases will on net lead to higher revenue. And if price increases will lead to higher revenue (which they might) then it makes sense for Ruffer to raise prices no matter what happens with Obamacare. In fact, Ruffer himself articulates the truth later which is that Obamacare is going to reduce his profits by about one-eighth and he (and any investors in his business) will eat the loss. With corporate profits as a share of the economy at an all-time high, nobody's going to cry for him either.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Doer: NHL return just part of the job
Ambassador to U.S. boasts love for hockey
OTTAWA -- Gary Doer didn't bring the NHL back to Winnipeg as premier, but Canada's ambassador to the United States joked Thursday doing so was one of the marching orders he was given when appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Doer was in the nation's capital for a joint speaking session with David Jacobson, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, at a meeting on international trade hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Doer opened his speech with a joke about Winnipeg's NHL coup, saying Harper gave him two simple goals.
"No. 1, he wanted me to be involved in having more goods and services and resources move from the north to the south. And No. 2, he wanted me to ensure that we were able to move hockey teams from the south to the north."
The audience, mainly senior public servant and business executives, chuckled while Doer said bringing the NHL back to Canada was just part of his job description.
"We just go out of our way to try and make that happen every day," he said.
During the 2007 provincial election, when Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen made his much-ridiculed promise to bring back the Jets, Doer scoffed at him.
"And I'm gonna eliminate winter next year," Doer quipped at the time.
He said then that True North Sports and Entertainment chairman Mark Chipman and the province had been in quiet negotiations on the issue for months at that point.
On Thursday, when asked about the Jets by the Free Press, Doer said he didn't have any doubts the Jets would eventually fly home.
"I always thought it would happen."
Jacobson told the audience Thursday he and Doer made a friendly wager over the NHL Stanley Cup final between Vancouver and Boston. If the Canucks lose, Doer has to deliver a Boston Pizza pie to Jacobson, after the Canadian restaurant chain has dropped the "Boston" monicker on its Vancouver outlets for the duration of the series.
If the Bruins lose, Jacobson has to give Doer a Boston cream pie. The difference, said Jacobson, is because despite the name of the Canadian pizza chain, Boston isn't really known for having good pizza.
Of course Jacobson is biased, as he hails from Chicago, home of the famous deep-dish pizza.
Doer made sure to note pies were not the only item on the betting menu. He also insisted the wager include beer.
It was the third time in the opening minutes of the event Doer's love of suds was mentioned.
Canadian Chamber of Commerce president Perrin Beatty, who delivered a lengthy and flattering description of Doer as an accomplished and well-liked politician, noted he first met Doer over beers.
That prompted Jacobson to note in his opening address that he too had first met Doer over a beer, their meeting coming on a train ride in Manitoba during Jacobson's first visit to the province after he was appointed in 2009.
That meeting took place the day before Doer left for Washington to assume the ambassadorship.
"I was amused, Perrin, to hear that you met Ambassador Doer over a beer. It means we have something in common."
Beatty then quipped that this event may not turn out to be so good for Doer's reputation.
Doer just smiled and shrugged.
"It is what is it is," he said.
