Jewish refugees from Triploi arrive in Haifa 521.
(photo credit:Arnold Behr/Jerusalem Post Archives)
This November will mark the 65th anniversary of the UN Partition Resolution of
November 29, 1947. It is sometimes forgotten – and often not even known – that
this was the first-ever blueprint for an Israeli-Palestinian "two states for two
peoples" solution. Regrettably, while Jewish leaders accepted the resolution,
Arab and Palestinian leaders did not, and by their own acknowledgment, declared
war on the nascent Jewish state while also targeting the Jewish nationals living
in their respective countries.Indeed, had the UN Partition Resolution
been accepted, there would have been no 1948 Arab- Israeli war, no refugees, and
none of the pain and suffering of these past 65 years. The annual November 29
UN-organized International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People might
well have been a day commemorating a Middle East peace, and the establishment of
both the State of Israel and the State of Palestine.Yet the revisionist
Middle East narrative – prejudicial to authentic reconciliation and peace
between peoples as well as between states – continues to hold that there was
only one victim population, Palestinian refugees, and that Israel was
responsible for the Palestinian nakba (catastrophe) of 1948.The result
is that the pain and plight of 850,000 Jews uprooted and displaced from Arab
countries – the forgotten exodus – has been both expunged and eclipsed from both
the Middle East peace and justice narratives these past 65 years.Indeed,
the upcoming United Nations commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity
with the Palestinian People – celebrated on the anniversary of the Partition
Resolution – will likely ignore, yet again, the plight of Jewish refugees,
thereby indulging and encouraging this Middle East revisionism.Moreover,
this revisionist narrative has not only eclipsed – and erased – the forgotten
exodus from memory and remembrance, but it also denies that it was a forced
exodus, and one that resulted from both double rejectionism and double
aggression. This is the real nakba – the real double catastrophe.Simply
put, the Arab countries not only rejected a proposed Palestinian state and went
to war to extinguish the nascent Jewish state, but also targeted the Jewish
nationals living in their respective countries, thereby creating two refugee
populations – the Palestinian refugee population resulting from the Arab war
against Israel, and the Jewish refugees resulting from the Arab war against its
own Jewish nationals.Indeed, evidence contained in the report entitled
"Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: The Case for Rights And Redress" documents
in detail the pattern of state-sanctioned repression and persecution in Arab
countries – including Nuremberg-like laws – that targeted its Jewish
populations, resulting in denationalization, forced expulsions, illegal
sequestration of property, arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and murder –
namely, anti-Jewish pogroms.And while the internal Jewish narrative has
often referred to pogroms as European attacks on their Jewish nationals, it has
often ignored Arab-Muslim attacks on their Jewish nationals. Moreover, as the
report also documents, these massive human rights violations were not only the
result of state-sanctioned patterns of oppression in each of the Arab countries,
but they were reflective of a collusive blueprint, as embodied in the Draft Law
of the Political Committee of the League of Arab States in 1947.This is
a story whose voices are only now being heard by many for the first time. It is
a story whose painful testimony has been shared too often only among the victims
themselves. It is a truth that must now be affirmed, acknowledged, and acted
upon in the interests of justice and history.Regrettably, the United
Nations also bears express and continuing responsibility for this distorted
Middle East and peace narrative.Since 1948, there have been more than
150 UN resolutions that have specifically dealt with the Palestinian refugee
plight. Yet, not one of these resolutions makes any reference to, nor is there
any expression of concern for, the plight of the 850,000 Jews displaced from
Arab countries. Nor have any of the Arab countries involved – or the Palestinian
leadership involved – expressed any acknowledgment, let alone regret, for this
pain and suffering, or for their respective responsibility for the pain and
suffering.How do we rectify this historical – and ongoing – injustice?
What are the rights and remedies available under international human rights and
humanitarian law? And what are the corresponding duties and obligations
incumbent upon the United Nations, Arab countries, and members of the
international community? What follows is a nine-point international human rights
justice and action agenda.FIRST, IT must be appreciated that while
justice has long been delayed, it must no longer be denied. The time has come to
rectify this historical injustice, and to restore the plight and truth of this
forgotten – and forced – exodus of Jews from Arab countries to the Middle East
narrative from which they have been expunged and eclipsed these 65
years.Second, remedies for victim refugee groups – including rights of
remembrance, truth, justice and redress, as mandated under human rights and
humanitarian law – must now be invoked for Jews displaced from Arab
countries.Third, in the manner of duties and responsibilities, each of
the Arab countries – and the League of Arab States – must acknowledge their role
and responsibility in their double aggression of launching an aggressive war
against Israel and the perpetration of human rights violations against their
respective Jewish nationals. The culture of impunity must end.Fourth,
the Arab League Peace Plan of 2002 should incorporate the question of Jewish
refugees from Arab countries as part of its narrative for an Israeli- Arab
peace, just as the Israeli narrative now incorporates the issue of Palestinian
refugees in its vision of an Israeli-Arab peace.Fifth, on the
international level, the UN General Assembly – in the interests of justice and
equity – should include reference to Jewish refugees as well as Palestinian
refugees in its annual resolutions; the UN Human Rights Council should address,
as it has yet to do, the issue of Jewish as well as Palestinian refugees; UN
agencies dealing with compensatory efforts for Palestinian refugees should also
address Jewish refugees from Arab countries.Sixth, the annual November
29 commemoration by the United Nations of the International Day of Solidarity
with the Palestinian People should be transformed into an International Day of
Solidarity for a Two-State – Two-Peoples Solution, as the initial 1947 Partition
Resolution intended, including solidarity with all refugees created by the
Israeli-Arab conflict.Seventh, jurisdiction over Palestinian refugees
should be transferred from UNRWA to the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees. There was no justification then – and still less today – for the
establishment of a separate body to deal only with Palestinian refugees,
particularly when that body has been itself compromised by its incitement to
hatred and violence, as well as its revisionist teaching of the Middle East
peace and justice narrative.Eighth, any bilateral Israeli-Palestinian
negotiations – which one hopes will presage a just and lasting peace – must
include Jewish refugees as well as Palestinian refugees in an inclusive joinder
of discussion.Ninth, during any and all discussions on the Middle East
by the Quartet and others, any explicit reference to Palestinian refugees should
be paralleled by a reference to Jewish refugees from Arab countries.SOME
GOVERNMENTS have made welcome progress on this question, such as the US Congress
in recently adopting legislation recognizing the plight of Jewish refugees and
requiring that the issue be raised in any and all talks on Middle East peace. I
have a motion before the Canadian Parliament in this regard which I hope will
soon be adopted. Legislatures around the world should hold hearings on the issue
to ensure public awareness and action, to allow for victims' testimony, and to
right the historical record – an effort in which I trust that Canada will be
engaged this fall.In sum, the exclusion and denial of rights and redress
to Jewish refugees from Arab countries continues to prejudice authentic
negotiations between the parties and a just and lasting peace between them. Let
there be no mistake about it – as I have said before and will continue to
affirm: Where there is no remembrance, there is no truth; where there is no
truth, there will be no justice; where there is no justice, there will be no
reconciliation; and where there is no reconciliation, there will be no peace –
which we all seek.The writer is a Canadian member of parliament and the
former minister of justice and attorney-general of Canada. He is a
professor of law (emeritus) at McGill University. He has testified on
this issue before parliaments in the US, the UK and Italy.

Holy cow what an amazing mod page my goodness gracious!!!!! :OOO
Pls include clone wars because I think the DICE battlefront won't have the clone wars. It would be so cool to make your own custom clone trooper
22 comments by rocknroll237 on Oct 28th, 2014
Hello once again Star Wars: Battlecry fans!
Today we're posting a quick update to let you know about the great progress we've been making on Cloud City (as well as new sound effects – Richard Goulet is responsible for creating these epic sounds - concepts and new/improved 3D models).
On top of this, we want to take a minute to mention our awesome new partnership with BlackIntel, who are letting us use their servers and storage! They are a great bunch of people and we highly recommend you check them out. More info on this partnership will be released at a later date.
Regarding the First Strike merge, we now have everything set up to ensure that assets from the First Strike and Battlecry teams is all in one place. We are still in the process of evaluating First Strike assets and getting the usable ones ready for UE4. This will take some time, especially as many team members have been very busy with other commitments. Things are moving in the right direction, however!
As you can see above, a lot of work has been done trying to get the lighting in the Carbon Freezing Chamber as atmospheric as possible (Joseph Greve, Ande and Sharky have been the main contributors to this part of the level). On top of that, a lot of effort has gone into creating high quality props and textures: this level of detail is exactly what we're aiming for. Other areas such as the residential area have also been worked on and are coming along nicely!
Above is our re-worked and improved Rebel Trooper model by Ande. We have tried to go for a very detailed look, consistent with many of our other quality 3D models. Once we have the vast amount of First Strike models imported into UE4, we can begin to take what the First Strike team has done and build upon it, ensuring we get the most out of the powerful new UE4 features.
Member Thomas Woodward started work on a fantastic Imperial Probe Droid for us a few months ago but now you can see his latest progress.
In case you're wondering where the team is at with regard to our menu concepts and HUD designs, due to several brand new features making their way into the latest version of UE4, we've decided to come up with several fresh and exciting ideas. We won't be revealing too much of this at this time as they are still conceptual (and we've shown enough WIP menu/HUD concepts for now!) but we'll keep you updated.
As always, stay tuned for more and may the force be with you!
The Star Wars: Battlecry team
PS: If you have skills and have some free time at hand, contact us! We're especially in need of Animators, 3D Artists (primarily for weapons and equipment) and Environment Artists!
Holy cow what an amazing mod page my goodness gracious!!!!! :OOO
Pls include clone wars because I think the DICE battlefront won't have the clone wars. It would be so cool to make your own custom clone trooper
XDXD Awesome!
thanks for your new update and your hard work team (if you are working hard of course).
in my opinion the left HUD picture is better than right you can improve this one by adding meter count to command posts(which shows how much far the player is from command posts introduced by Free Radical's battlefront 3)
and may you make a name for your team ?
You're very welcome! We are glad to hear your input, as that is actually a good idea. It could help point players to the objectives. We can certainly put thought into trying that. A name for our team, huh? Hmm. . . Team Battlecry! (totally original!) :D . . .Maybe I'll leave that to the team leaders. XD
I am really looking forward to the final release of this game, and the continuation of it thru the clone wars era. Though I have only one concern; will I be able to play it on my computer. I have an hp pavilion g7 with an amd quad core a6, but it can hardly run some quite simple games like tf2. It would be a shame if I couldn't play it.
Also, if you are looking to have beta testers, I'd be more than willing to help you guys.
We cannot yet say what the exact minimum requirements will be. It depends on how efficiently the engine handles all of the maps, graphics, etc. I would love to be able to lay down the lines for this, but even we are not certain yet. Once we have things finalized, we will be able to give a better estimate in terms of how much performance will be needed. If we decide to recruit extra testers, I'm sure the team knows there are many volunteers! For now though, we just need to get stuff made to test in the first place. How did you like the moving picture, though? Advanced technology indeed! :O
Battlecry sounds better than Battleunreal...Also, we have been advertising it as Battlecry for some time already, so changing it would confuse people. Sounds much better don't you think?
BattleUnreal xD Too funny lol.
"Unreal Star Wars : Battle Tournament 2014" sounds badass tho :P
But. . . We already put a whopping $0.00 into marketing for "battlecry"! We have to stick with it now!

HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA (Catholic Online) - "I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth"(Revelation 3:15-16).
Sloth, often called acedia, is described simply as the sin of laziness. However, while this is part of the manifestation of sloth, the central problem with sloth as a capital sin is spiritual laziness - which leads to lukewarmness.
Sloth is connected with sensuality. It proceeds from a love of pleasure, inasmuch as it inclines us to avoid effort and hardship. There is in all of us a tendency to follow the line of least resistance, which paralyses or lessens our activity.
Sloth is an inclination to idleness or at least to aimlessness, to apathy in action. At times this is a morbid disposition due to poor condition of health. More frequently it is a disease of the will, which fears effort and recoils from it. The slothful person wants to escape all exertion, whatever might interfere with their comfort or involve fatigue. Like the real parasite, they live on others to whatever extent they can, becoming gruff and ill-tempered when one tries to rouse them from their inaction.
There are various degrees of sloth. The indolent person takes up his task reluctantly, and indifferently; what he does, he does badly. The sluggard does not absolutely refuse to work, but he delays and postpones indefinitely the accepted task. The truly lazy person wants to do nothing that proves irksome and shows a distinct aversion to all real work, whether physical or mental. The idea of right living inspires in him not joy but disgust, because of its laboriousness.
When sloth is related to spiritual exercises it is called spiritual sloth. This consists in a certain dislike for things spiritual, which tends to make us negligent in the performance of our exercises of piety (prayer, the sacraments etc.), causes us to shorten them or to omit them altogether for vain excuses.
In order to understand the malice of sloth we have to remember that man was made to work. When God created Adam and Eve he placed them in the garden Eden "to cultivate and care for it" (Gen. 2:15). This is because man is not a perfect being, having many faculties which must act in order to be perfected.
Hence, it is a necessity of man's nature that he should labour to cultivate his powers, to provide for his spiritual and physical wants and thus tend towards his heavenly goal. The law of work, therefore, precedes original sin. But because man sinned, work has become for him not merely a law of nature, but also a punishment, in the sense that work has become burdensome and a means of repairing sin: it is in the sweat of our face that we must get our bread to eat, the food of the mind as well as the body (Gen. 3: 19).
The slothful man sins more or less grievously according to the obligations and duties he neglects. When he shuns matters of importance in regards to his duties of state, or goes so far as to neglect religious duties necessary to his salvation or sanctification, he commits a grievous fault. A venial sin is committed when he fails in civil or religious duties of lesser moment.
Because of its harmful consequences, spiritual sloth constitutes one of the most serious obstacles to perfection. This is because it makes life more or less barren:
"I passed by the field of the slothful man,
by the vineyard of the man without sense;
And behold! It was all overgrown with thistles;
its surface was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall broken down.
And as I gazed at it, I reflected;
I saw and learned the lesson:
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the arms to rest -
Then will poverty come upon you like a highwayman,
and want like an armed man" (Prov 24: 30-34).
Indeed. This is what one finds in the soul of the slothful man. Where there should be virtues and charity one finds vices alongside crumbling walls which mortification had raised to protect virtue. As a result, temptation soon becomes more persistent and assailing: "For idleness has taught much evil" (Sirach: 33: 29). It was idleness and pride that destroyed Sodom (Ezech. 16: 49).
Man's heart and mind cannot for long remain inactive. Unless they are engaged by study or other work they are soon filled with a host of fancies, thoughts, desires and emotions. Because of our fallen nature sensual, ambitious, proud and selfish thoughts then gain the upper hand exposing us to sin. St. Thomas tells us that, in addition to drinking, carousing, gambling and taking up with bad company sloth can eventually lead to despair since "sloth is a real sadness that casts the spirit down."
What is ultimately at stake is our eternal salvation. Apart from the sins into which idleness causes us to fall, the mere fact of failing to fulfil important duties incumbent on us is sufficient cause for reprobation. The barren tree, by the mere fact that it bears no fruit, deserves to be cut down and thrown into the fire: "Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire. (Matt. 3: 10).
To remedy sloth we need first of all to form in ourselves strong convictions concerning the necessity of work; to make ourselves understand that both the rich and the poor come under this law, and that its infringement may involve eternal damnation. This is the lesson given by Our Lord in His parable of the barren fig tree.
If a person is rich and not obliged to work for himself, he must do so for others. And indeed the opportunities are not lacking: how many poor need help, how many ignorant need instruction, how many broken hearts need mending, how many families need rearing to ensure, among other things, that the future of the children will be safeguarded!
Alongside convictions we also need to make sustained and intelligent efforts to train and strengthen the will. Since the slothful man instinctively shrinks from effort it is important to keep in mind that there is no one more wretched than the idle man. Not knowing how to manage his time, the idle man soon becomes a burden to himself and ultimately he becomes wearied of life itself. Is it not preferable to engage in useful work and secure some real contentment by striving to make those around us happy?
Among the slothful there are those who do expend a certain amount of excess activity at play, sports and worldly gatherings. These must be reminded of the serious side of life and that they should turn such activities into more useful and worthier fields of action. Christian marriage with its immediate obligations and duties often proves an excellent remedy for sloth. Parents realize the necessity of working for their offspring and the inadvisability of entrusting to strangers the care of their interests. What we must constantly bear in mind is the end of life: we are here on earth in order to attain, through work and virtue, a place in heaven. God is ever addressing to us: "Why stand you here all the day idle...Go you also into the vineyard" (Matt. 20: 6-7).

SINGAPORE—InterContinental Hotels Group has opened Indonesia's first ever Holiday Inn Express hotel in Central Java's cosmopolitan city of Semarang.
The 198-room Holiday Inn Express Semarang Simpang Lima paves the way for the brand's expansion across Indonesia, with plans for 13 more Holiday Inn Express hotels to open across the country over the next few years.
"Indonesia accounts for two thirds of the development pipeline for Holiday Inn Express in South East Asia and we are excited to debut the brand in one of the country's most vibrant cities. Semarang is a popular destination for both business and leisure travellers where the majority are domestic travelers who stop en-route between Jakarta and Surabaya. Holiday Inn Express Semarang Lima will cater perfectly to value-conscious guests who are after a comfortable stay at an affordable price in a convenient location," said Clarence Tan, chief operating officer South East Asia and Resorts, IHG.
Just a 15-minute drive from Ahmad Yani International Airport, Holiday Inn Express Semarang Simpang Lima is located in the centre of Semarang's famous shopping, dining and entertainment district.

Sorry, pretty French model, who says she had a steamy affair with Eva Longoria's husband, Tony Parker. You must be lying, because Tony is "nothing short of the perfect husband." Riiiiight. Eva and Tony are rushing to deny rumors that anything is wrong in their marriage, despite the new allegations that Tony was sleeping with Alexandra Paressant, only two months after the basketball player and the Desperate Housewives star married. Tony told People.com, "I love my wife. She's the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier." Followed by Eva adding, "Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband." Uh-huh.
Look, I'm all for believing in love and what-not but, usually, where there's smoke there's fire. And those denials seem a little too perfectly packaged for me. Sorry, Tony. Don't believe ya.

Family has received confirmation he's been found, but they are concerned about his health
Casey Kasem, the 82-year old DJ has been found, a representative of the family told TheWrap.
Kasem was confirmed as missing on May 12. At that time, his daughter Kerri Kasem began seeking temporary conservatorship over her father, in order to facilitate a search effort.
In an official statement issued, the family reports, "We have received confirmation that Casey Kasem has been found. The family has grave concerns about his health and will do everything in their power to bring him back home."

The family has been at odds with Kasem's wife, Jean, over visitation rights. Jean Kasem has been moving Casey Kasem from hospital to hospital, and refusing to let his children see him. Casey Kasem is suffering from Lewy Body Disease, which is a similar form of dementia to Parkinson's Disease, and has left him barely able to talk.
According to The New York Daily News, Casey Kasem was found in Washington just hours after Kerri Kasem was able to officially file a missing persons report. After hearing the news, Kerri Kasem released the following statement, "We are grateful to the local authorities for finding my Dad. We are one step closer to bringing him home."

Former 'Victory Garden' guru: Show off your crops
Roger Swain, former host of the PBS series "The Victory Garden," delighted gardeners in Windham Thursday evening with his program, "Growing Food in Public." (APRIL GUILMET PHOTO)
But most folks simply remember Roger Swain as the jolly "man with the red suspenders" and longtime host of PBS's "The Victory Garden."
Swain, who lives near Peterborough, delighted gardeners gathered at Windham Town Hall last Thursday when the Windham Garden Club hosted the program, "Growing Food in Public."
"We're pretty thrilled to have a celebrity here," club member Evie Saad said as she sat down for an engaging evening of gardening tips and amusing New England anecdotes told in a way only Swain can tell them.
But in spite of his celebrity status, Swain remains humble about his many accomplishments, instead preferring to pass along his knowledge to fellow plant lovers.
Asked about his fondness for red suspenders, Swain's response was simple. "They hold my pants up," he said. "But it can be a bit problematic when they ask me to remove them at the airport."
Speaking to about 40 local garden club members, Swain got down to business, asking the locals if they currently grow their own food.
About half of the audience's hands shot up.
"Well, when I'm done here tonight, here's hoping all of you will be raising your hands," he told them. "My number-one goal here tonight is to encourage all of you to grow your own food."
Swain, who despite his advanced education has never taken a formal gardening class, said he mostly learned his skills from simple necessity.
Alluding to the victory gardens of decades past, he urges gardeners not to limit their edible crops to their backyards, but to instead "go public" by planting potatoes, carrots and other vegetables and fruit wherever the sun shines brightest - even if that means planting squash in the front yard.
In absence of a sunny front yard, a neighbor's yard will also do, he added. "Maybe your neighbor down the street has a nice, bright yard," Swain said. "And maybe she needs her lawn mowed and you could work something out. Maybe you can barter with her."
In 1944, at the height of World War I, the victory garden movement was going quite strong. Amateur gardeners, according to Swain, grew nearly half of the fruits and vegetables grown in the United States that year.
Things have certainly changed nowadays. "These days I can walk around suburbia and not see anything growing in anyone's yard," Swain said. "But the finest food you can eat is food you grew yourself."
Since sunlight and water are essential for healthy plans, Swain encourages the use of rain barrels.
"The plants don't care where the water comes from," he added.
And since many local gardeners have rocky soil on their properties, a variety of containers might work in a pinch. They need not be picture-perfect containers- recycled pails, buckets and bins work just as well as fancy planters.
"Trust me. Once the plants are growing, well no one will be looking at those containers," said Swain.

DescriptionSimulation games are created with the goal of putting the player in control of a certain activity while attempting to make it as realistic as possible.
In the strictest sense of the word, all electronic games are simulations, since they cannot exist without simulating aspects of real life. However, simulation genre only includes games that focus (entirely or mostly) on imitating real-life activities. That does not mean that simulation games must be completely realistic; for example, space combat simulation games simulate an activity that is (yet) unknown to human beings. The distinguishing feature of simulation games is their emphasis on realism and detail comparable to those encountered in real life.
Most simulation games are not story-driven, since they concentrate on describing general activities, not concrete situations. Among notable exceptions are Wing Commander games, which combine space combat simulation with a continuous narrative.
Simulation themes vary greatly; theoretically, they are limited only by the amount of activities known to human beings. Simulation themes include, for example, traffic networks, medical care, romance, music, and many others.
Simulation games can be roughly divided into five main groups:
- Managerial simulations put the player in a position of a manager or a similar role.
- Construction simulations primarily involve building, for example cities.
- Life simulations may deal with human life or life in general.
- Professional / Social simulations are dedicated to specific social activities and professions.
- Vehicle simulations allow the player direct control of a vehicle with a certain sense of realism, for example plane, space ship, tank, etc.

Microsoft new IE7 browsers include a form of anti-phishing technology, by which a site may be checked against a list of known phishing sites. If the site is a suspect the user is warned, although not prevented from visiting it. This phishing technology has made the browser (IE7) become more heavy. Browsing speed becoming a little bit slower and it effects the overall performance of the browser itself. Spam filters also help protect users from phishers, because they reduce the number of phishing-related emails that users receive.

State money to fight binge drinking, giant parties in Oakland
The state is giving $70,000 to help curb huge parties and binge drinking in Oakland, which one resident described as a neighborhood "under siege."
Large, off-campus parties have plagued Oakland neighborhoods in recent years, said Geof Becker, 53, an Oakland resident and co-chairman of volunteer neighborhood group Oakwatch. He described the neighborhood as "under siege" by house parties with hundreds of drunken attendees. Both University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University are in Oakland.
"Anyone who has lived in Oakland has seen an incredible explosion," Becker said. "Unless you see it, it's hard to understand how disruptive and violent and painful these parties have become for neighbors."
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board awarded a $30,000 grant to CMU and a $40,000 grant to the Oakland Planning and Development Corporation as part of its alcohol education grant program. CMU police Sgt. Jason Hendershot said 40 percent of the funds will go to education, 40 percent to enforcement and the remaining 20 percent will be used for police training. Hendershot said there were about 140 incidents in a three-year period involving alcohol in which medical attention was necessary.
"The overall goal is a reduction in these dangerous drinking incidents," Hendershot said.
Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Squirrel Hill, announced the grants on Monday.
"What we've identified is a minority of students who abuse their privileges in the community," Frankel said. "The vast majority of students are an asset to our community."
The Oakland Planning and Development Corporation will use its grant to pay off-duty city police officers to patrol the neighborhoods some weekends and have a staffer collect data on problem properties, executive director Wanda Wilson said.
"It's the large parties," Wilson said. "We're not saying people can't have a good time with friends and a few beers. That's not what we're targeting."
So far this year, Pittsburgh police have arrested six people and issued eight citations for underage drinking in Oakland, according to figures provided by police spokeswoman Diane Richard. In 2012, police arrested 14 people and cited five.
Zone 4 Cmdr. Kathryn Degler, whose district includes Oakland, did not return a message seeking comment.
Pitt reported 156 arrests for on-campus liquor law violations in 2012 in its annual security report. That figure was 157 in 2011 and 169 in 2010.

By Paul Kirk
Athletic Media Relations
LONDON, England - Former Colorado State track and field All-American Janay DeLoach, ranked No. 2 in the world in the long jump, competes today in the preliminary round of the event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
The prelims begin at noon (MDT) today for DeLoach, who earned a silver medal at the 2012 indoor World Championships in March. The top 12 athletes from the preliminary rounds will advance to the finals, which are set to begin at 1 p.m. (MDT) on Wednesday.
DeLoach, who will wear bib number 3284, will jump 12th in the order of 16 competitors in Group B. There are 32 athletes total in the two groups.
DeLoach is the two-time defending U.S. indoor champion, and finished fifth at the 2011 World Championships. She qualified for the Olympics by placing third at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June.
The Fort Collins resident has a degree in psychology and human development, and a master's degree in occupational therapy, from CSU.
You can follow DeLoach and the rest of the long jump competitors via live streaming Tuesday and Wednesday.

Watch Mean-Spirited Man Scare Girlfriend Half to Death With Terrifying 'Ring' Prank
Meet the meanest boyfriend ever.
Meet the meanest boyfriend ever.
Some people really need to find a better use for their time rather than test response times of security organizations such as Homeland Security, SWAT, or any other tactical response teams. Unfortunately, for a man in Arizona it is smidgen too late to think about arbitrary details like that. Watch the video that could send him to prison for five years!
The one advantage of having super-broke roommates is that they don't have the extra cash to spring on giving your room a pretty, pretty princess makeover while you're overseas travelling. This man did not have that advantage.
It's a devious trick, sneaking baby powder into a loved one's blow dryer. But it's worth it ...
Sure, it's only the first week of June, but here are the best vines of June. Listen, we know it's crazy, but that's what this video is called. So either the rest of the Vines this month are not going to be this funny, everybody is going to take a Vinecation until July, or they're just going to keep adding more and more Vines to the end of this video each week
Comedian Nathan Fielder is making good use of his power on Twitter. He's been coming up with a number of pranks for people to play on their parents/friends and having them send him the often-hilarious results. This time he told his legion of followers to text their parents asking if it's illegal not to tell somebody you gave them an STD and say they were asking for a friend. These are the results. Keep fighting the good fight, Nathan Fielder.
A high school student is going from hot sauce to hot water.
Fans might think that Major League Baseball players — given all the money and fame that they have — would be above, say, pranking one of their teammates by filling his glove with human Hersey squirts. Fans don't know Tim Hudson.
You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia 'Today' on the air. He's back, and this time he's trying to eat the world's hottest pie.
It's something only Improv Everywhere could accomplish -- going on to a subway car, making a huge ruckus and not annoying every single person on the train. This time, the team set up a late night-style talk show, complete with desk, comfy chair, backdrop and band. Technically the band was just a guy with a keytar, but we'll allow it.
We're not sure if this is the best or worst postman in the world. On the one hand, he really makes sure that mail gets delivered. On the other hand, now a toddler is crying. You know what? We're going to go with best postman in the world, because this GIF exists thanks to him.

Op-Ed: Cat-focused vet clinic under new ownership is surprise to patrons
Jonathan Farrell
Jonathan Farrell
May 28, 2013 in
San Francisco
- People can be very attached to their doctors and health care providers, traveling some distance or going out of their way to keep their physician. And, it seems this is so even for their pets.
Especially Cats Veterinary Hospital and Clinic on Taraval in San Francisco's Parkside District has a new owner and staff. This was a surprise to many pet-owners in the community.
Long-time Vets, Drs. Koral, Anne-Marie Benfatto and Ari Rozycki retired and the new owner Dr. Manprit Buttar and his staff of Drs. Holland and Carter have taken over the practice. When this reporter tried repeatedly to speak to Buttar, he would not respond to requests for interview. Only office staff members Ursula and Stan would verify that Especially Cats was sold to Buttar in June of 2012 and that previous owner Koral and her staff of Benfatto and Rozycki had retired.
This was a bit of a shock to several patrons who have been taking their cats to the well-established veterinary clinic for years. Established in 1983, for over 30 years, Especially Cats prided itself on its unique focus, "only cats." Cat lovers over the years praised the practice for its feline focused approach. Benfatto had mentioned in conversation to this reporter some years ago that "having the focus only on cats makes my job as a vet much more efficient." She had been consulted for some information for an
article about sweets, chocolate and pets.
"There is so much to learn in veterinary school," she said at that time. "All the various animals not just cats and dogs, is a lot." In Veterinary school, students are required to learn about farm animals, rodents, reptiles, and the list of things we had to learn was extensive." Benfatto mentioned that focusing just on cats allowed her to have more confidence. And, just when people think they know all there is to know about cats, they will surprise you with something new.
Oh and as for giving sweets to pets? That is not a good idea. "Cats actually, as Benfatto explained, don't really have a taste for sweets, whereas dogs will eat just about anything." "Cats are smarter about food and (potential) toxins than dogs," she said.
It was precisely because of this primary focus and attention to cats that cat owners flocked to Especially Cats. This is why some long-time patrons were surprised when Especially Cats was taken over by Buttar. It is not clear whether or not a notice was given or formal announcements were made. Only, it is obvious by some of the reviews posted on Yelp.com that long-time patrons are perplexed as to the change in ownership. Of the 136 reviews, eight expressed disappointment with the change in ownership.
One thing is certain reviewers' note how much cats are adored at Especially Cats.
One reviewer/patron, Denise A
, and others recall how much Drs. Benfatto and Rozycki loved cats. It was that love for cats that kept patrons returning year after year. Denise also claims that "Unfortunately, Dr. Rozycki has taken a year-long sabbatical to tend to animals in developing countries. Her post from this past August of 2012, noted that she was so pleased with Rozycki and Especially Cats she never took her cats to any other vet clinic in all the more than 20 years she (and her cats) had been a patron.
It is not clear why the former owner and staff retired and sold out so unexpectedly. Did Rozycki's departure for a sabbatical have something to do with selling the practice?
Rozycki has a blog and seems very happy in his travels as a animal vet overseas. Current owner Dr. Buttar would not respond. Office staff members Stan and Ursula would only confirm that practice was sold in June of 2012 and provided no other details. Yet several reviews on Yelp.com did note that prices/rates for service had increased.
From its new website, Especially Cats notes that cats are now the most popular pets, out-numbering dogs in the United States. The web site also says "we hope to lengthen and enhance the years that you can spend with your cat, by focusing on wellness care and preventative medicine through all life stages." (And this includes kitten and elderly cats too). Under its new ownership and staff, Especially Cats Veterinary Hospital is a full service cat clinic and wellness center. Especially Cats is comprised of a modern hospital, surgical unit, radiology department, an on-site laboratory with a complete veterinary pharmacy.
Located at 1339 Taraval Street, Especially Cats is open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and on Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM. For more information call 415) 681-5553,

When I hear nutrition experts say that Americans consume too much sodium, my first thought is always, "I wish Dad would stop adding so much salt to his meals!" Not because it insults my mother's cooking, but because too much sodium in your diet raises your risk for high blood pressure and heart disease.
Then I became aware of an interesting fact. Only a small percentage of sodium comes from salt we add at the table. Almost 80% of the sodium in our diets is added by food manufacturers and restaurants during processing and cooking. Many of these foods pack a lot more sodium than we think. That means we could be eating dangerously high levels of sodium without picking up the salt shaker.
The recommended level of sodium intake for adults is between 1500-2300 mg per day. Here are some tips to lower the amount of sodium you take in:
- When grocery shopping, compare labels and choose items with lower sodium numbers.
- When buying frozen meals, compare sodium levels on the Nutrition Facts Label. Choose the items with the smallest numbers in sodium (less than 480 mg of sodium per serving is recommended).
- Choose fresh meats. Bacon, lunchmeats, sausage, ham and hot dogs are all high in sodium.
- Go fresh! Fresh and frozen vegetables have less sodium than canned vegetables.
- Look for products marked "no salt added" or "low sodium," particularly bread, salad dressings and soup items.
- When eating out, ask for foods to be prepared without added salt.
- Prepare more meals at home. This way, you can control how much salt you put in your food.
By limiting our salt intake, we can reduce our risk for high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. What do you do to lower your sodium intake?

Safety has upside Aaron Wilson
The Green Bay Packers' search for a safety could end by looking at an unheralded defensive back on their own roster.
The Packers are encouraged by the development of Micah Hyde, who could shift to safety on an extended basis this season.
"I mean Micah's to me a multiple position player," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said at the NFL scouting combine, via ESPN. "I'd like to see Micah compete to play all three downs on defense, so if there's a personnel group that he has to play safety, yeah that's an option."
Hyde was a third cornerback last season, operating in nickel and dime defenses.
Now, his role may be expanding.
"He's definitely someone that I think has earned the opportunity to compete to be on the field all three downs," McCarthy said.
The Packers are also expected to evaluate the merits of the safety rookie draft class.
