Transocean announced that the ultra-deepwater semisubmersible Deepwater Nautilus has been awarded a minimum three-year contract extension commencing in December 2008 by a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell.
Under the terms of the amendment extending the term of the drilling contract, Shell has the right to elect, by June 30, 2008, to extend the contract by an additional year, to a total of four years. Estimated contract revenues that could be generated over the three-year or four-year (if elected) extension periods are approximately $586 million or $759 million, respectively. Estimated contract revenues represent the maximum amount of revenues that may be earned in the applicable contract period, excluding revenues for mobilization, demobilization and cost escalations.
The Deepwater Nautilus is one of 39 High-Specification Floaters in the Transocean fleet, 18 of which are Ultra-Deepwater Floaters. The rig, which entered service in 2000, is capable of operating in water depths of up to 8,000 feet, or greater if a pre-set mooring system is used.
Companies operating in the North Sea require a cultural shift to make the most of the its potential, according to a new report from Deloitte, the business advisory firm.

The following is a letter to insidetime, from issue February 2012
Knowing that travellers credit is available to people who only have mobile phone numbers on their PIN list or are of no fixed abode I wonder whether this is a form of discrimination. I would love to have the option of having £20 taken from my private cash account every week in order to pay for my phone calls. But because I have a couple of landline numbers on my PIN list I am refused that option and regularly have to spend 90% of my money on PIN credit. Surely I should be allowed to have the same facility as everyone else? It seems very unfair that the majority of prisoners are being discriminated against just because they have a landline number on their PIN list. I regularly hear comments from prison staff to the effect of 'You are no different to anyone else in here' – well, if that's the case then allow me the same rights as anyone else! I see signs all over the jail about how the Prison Service doesn't accept discrimination of any kind, but it seems as though they do not like to practise what they constantly preach.

UK: M&S Q3 clothing sales continue to decline
By Katie Smith | 9 January 2014
Like-for-like general merchandise sales fell 2.1% during the third quarter
Marks & Spencer has seen its general merchandise sales fall for a tenth consecutive quarter, even though the UK retailer said it saw early signs of improvement in its women's wear business.
The company today (9 January) said like-for-like general merchandise sales - which include clothing and footwear - fell 2.1% during the 13 weeks to 28 December. Total general merchandise sales slipped 1.1%.
Despite a challenging quarter for the general merchandise market, with unseasonal conditions and higher than ever levels of discounting, chief executive Mark Bolland said customers responded positively to the company's re-focus of its women's wear on quality and style - resulting in small market share growth in this area for the first time in three years.
"We delivered a good performance across key categories including coats, dresses and footwear. We managed stocks tightly, resulting in a clean position at the end of the quarter."
During the key Christmas trading period, the retailer saw general merchandise sales climb 1.5%, and like-for-like general merchandise sales edge up 0.5%.
"We delivered an improved performance in general merchandise over the important Christmas period, with sales up 1.5% in a highly promotional market. However, an exceptionally unseasonal October, which saw general merchandise sales down strongly, has resulted in a quarterly performance below our expectations," Bolland added.
Group sales rose 1.8% during the quarter, and were up 3.2% over the Christmas period. Total UK sales grew a respective 1.5% and 2.7% during the third quarter and Christmas trading period.
On a like-for-like basis, sales edged down 0.2% in the three month period, but climbed 1% over Christmas.
Given continued pressure on disposable incomes, M&S said it remains cautious in its outlook as it continues to try and transform the company into an international, multi-channel retailer.
M&S said it expects full-year general merchandise gross margin to be down 30-50 basis points as a result of its investment in promotional activity.
Commenting on the results, Conlumino analyst Neil Saunders said: "Taking the third quarter as a whole, M&S has posted a poor set of numbers which, on the general merchandise front, make for very discouraging reading."
The company's performance, he noted, is still worse than department store retailer Debenhams, which reported a 0.1% decline in like-for-like sales over the 17 weeks to 28 December.
"All of this raises a question mark over how successful the new general merchandise strategy is. At a broad level we still maintain that, on clothing, the pace of change needs to go further and faster," Saunders added.
"Moreover, we believe that greater focus and clarity is required in delivering for the target market. Over the next ten years the most significant opportunity in clothing comes from the older, younger at heart generation of over 50s. It is far from clear that M&S is fully addressing the needs of this important constituency."

I thought I would get back to my "My Week" and I always loved doing these posts and well I love reading them too (duhhh). Firstly starting with my Instagram and then my phone.
Casualty Bound // Instagram
So yes, we ended up getting a phone call on Monday morning to say that the monkey that is CB fell and bumped his head in school. Being me and knowing what he is like I knew it wasn't going to be a pretty sight and I was right! In this case though I didn't like being right. He ended up needing two stitches and was relatively ok on the behaviour side but he is only a little so a little temper was thrown but hey, I would have done the same too. The second photo is the same day a few hours later before I headed to my night class. Some auntie/nephew time cheered him right up :)
Bullying // Instagram
Don't bully. Don't feel like you can't talk to someone. Stand up to bullying. FULL STOP. Been there, have the tshirt and it is just so horrible.
Sleepy Poopay // Instagram
I was sent this by the boy on Saturday morning of the puppy. Anytime he is near sun he conks out and this morning was no different other than him falling asleep sitting up. Too cute.
Sunday Afternoon Treat // Phone
Cuppa tea and this delicious Pain Au Chocolat. Mmmmm! Lidl you have become a Sunday treat regular now!
Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal // Phone
One of my most favourite films of all time. I will watch this film all year round because I just love it!
Bedtime Cuddles // Phone
Me and CB having bedtime cuddles. He is such a cutie.
Building A Haunted Gingerbread House // Phone
So this turned out a bit of a sham in terms of the icing but I loved building it and decorating it. I love Halloween and can't get enough of it really. I really wish we celebrated Halloween in the UK like they do in the USA. I would be in my element over there.
New Candles // Phone
I have a candle obsession. Like completely and I will admit it! I picked up this Airwick Pearl Candle in Mulberry and also I got these two candles from Lilyflame in Apply and Spook. I kind of regret the Spook scent but I will give it a go :/
New Nails // Phone
I got my infills done on my nails on Friday after my physio appointment. I love natural and I kept them like this because before I head to London I will get them done a lovely berry colour. The growth isn't as noticeable with natural colour than a dark colour.
Last but not least // Phone
It's cuppa tea timeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(Banner will apear here)
Israel has breathed a collective sigh of relief. There is good news and bad news over the decision to extend the Nov. 24th deadline and negotiate on Iran's nuclear project for another seven months. The good news is that U.S. President Barack Obama and the other members of the 5P+1 have not agreed to a nuclear deal at any price - the bad news is they have acquiesced in Iran's stonewalling without increasing the sanctions. Iran's sweet-talking President Hassan Rouhani was more than pleased with the diplomatic outcome in Vienna:
"We have achieved a significant victory - the negotiations will lead to a deal, sooner or later."
And his boss, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that he would not budge in the upcoming round of negotiations:
"The American and European colonialist countries gathered and applied their entire efforts to bring the Islamic Republic to its knees, but they could not and will not."
On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution, which adopted the plan for the partition of Palestine, recommended by the majority of the UN Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). 33 states voted in favor of the resolution and 13 against. 10 states abstained.
Four terrorists were sent on a suicide mission to fly 80 kilometers on motorized hang-gliders into an IDF army base next to the city of Kiryat-Shemonah. One of the attackers reached his target, killing 6 IDF soldiers.
Rafael "Raful" Eitan was an Israeli general, former Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces and later a politician, a Knesset member and government minister. Born in Afula during the Mandate era, Eitan was raised in Moshav Tel Adashim, where he spent most of his life.
This was the message from Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, after two Palestinian terrorists, armed with a handgun and meat cleaver, ran into a Jerusalem synagogue and hacked and shot four Jewish worshippers to death and wounded eight other Israelis. This is what happened:
At approximately 7:AM, Jewish worshippers were in the middle of the early morning prayer of Shaharit at the Tehilat Yaakov synagogue in the religious neighborhood of Har Nof, when two young Palestinians drove up in their car, parked it nearby, and then ran unhindered into the synagogue. (Most public buildings in Israel have armed guards at the entrance but synagogues do not - no one thought that Palestinians would stoop to executing terror attacks on holy sites.) They immediately began shooting and hacking at the unsuspecting worshippers, who were already wrapped in their prayer shawls. Eyewitnesses later described how the killers moved from one victim to another, one terrorist was firing all the time, and the other was hacking victims with his big meat cleaver. All the while they were shouting 'Allah Akbar!'
On the anniversary of the death of Israels first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, IsraCast brings you Ben-Gurion's biography, two audio interviews from Canadian radio stations in the year 1961, and a transcript of highlights from the Decleration of Independence - read by him on May 14th, 1948.
A brilliant orator, Eban served as diplomat, government minister and Member of Knesset. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, he sought to consolidate Israel's relations with the United States and secure association with the European Economic Community. Before and after the Six-Day War, he led Israel in its political struggle in the UN.
While there was sporadic Palestinian rioting elsewhere, U.S. Secretary John Kerry's mission to Amman has succeeded so far in dousing the flames that threatened to ignite a third Palestinian intifada (uprising). Credit where credit is due, and this time hats off to Kerry. Meeting first with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and then together with Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and Jordan's King Abdullah, Secretary Kerry was able to persuade the sides to take 'constructive steps, real steps, not rhetoric to de-escalate the situation'.
Most Israeli Arabs are loyal citizens – and when I say most, I mean the vast majority. Within a population of around 1.25 million people (excluding East Jerusalem) there are not only hundreds of hooligans, but thousands, who are likely to have the support of an additional percentage or two. Troubled times see the extremists flourish. On the backdrop of Islamic Movement leader Raed Salah's ongoing incitement, it would only take one incident to set the sector ablaze. The majority don't attend the demonstrations. But hundreds of youths do. Maybe even thousands. The impression created stains the entire Arab minority.
In Canada, there were two terror attacks within two days. The first was a run-over attack, and the second was an attack on the parliament in the capital city of Ottawa. In New York, police officers were assaulted with an axe. In London, a cell of four members planned to murder Queen Elizabeth last week, armed with knives. A few months ago, France foiled a plot to blow up the Eifel Tower. In Israel, we have had a little of everything. Both run-over attempts and murder in a stabbing attack. Welcome to the global intifada.
The Bnei Menashe (sons of Manasseh) community are a group of people from India's North Eastern regions who trace their ancestry to a distant forefather named Manmasi, who is believed to have been Menashe, son of Joseph, son of Jacob, making them descendents of one of the lost ten tribes of Israel.
Szenes was one of 37 Jews living in Palestine, now Israel, who were trained by the British army to parachute into Yugoslavia during World War II in order to help save the Jews of Hungary, who were about to be deported to the German death camp at Auschwitz. Szenes was arrested at the Hungarian border, imprisoned and tortured, but she refused to reveal details of her mission, and was eventually tried and executed by firing squad.
Jerusalem: It was only a matter of time - a Palestinian terrorist has again driven his vehicle at high speed into Israelis at a crowded intersection in Jerusalem. One Israeli border policeman was killed and thirteen other people were injured, several of them seriously. After deliberately crashing into the Israelis near a light rail station, the terrorist jumped from his van wielding an iron bar and clubbed bystanders. More policemen arrived quickly to shoot dead the attacker. Hamas has claimed responsibility for what it termed "the heroic running over operation." The assailant has been identified as Ibrahim Akari, a thirty-five year old resident from the nearby Shuafat refugee camp. He was the brother of one of the terrorists released by Israel in exchange for the kidnapped Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. The brother, who had murdered another policeman, was banished from Israel to Turkey, where President Erdogan has reportedly permitted Hamas to set up shop.
On 1941 the Arab Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini met with Adolf Hitler and discussed ways to 'solve the Jewish problem'. Three years later the Nazis and the Arabs of Palestine planned to poison the drinking water in Tel-Aviv with Arsenic poison.
On October 29, 1956 Britain, France and Israel launched a military operation against Egypt. In a swift, sweeping operation of 100 hours, under the leadership of then Chief of the General Staff, Moshe Dayan, the entire Sinai peninsula fell into Israeli hands, at a cost of 231 soldiers killed. This operation was held in response to the closing of the Suez Canal by the Egyptians and terrorist attacks on Israel that violated the armistice agreement between the two countries.
Throughout the history Haifa bay served as a safe Port for ships in the Mediterranean sea. Benjamin Zeev Herzel recognized the potential and importance of the Port and city of Haifa in the new state, and the British Port was officially opened on October 31st, 1933.

Above and beyond the startling headlines about a senior Obama official calling Netanyahu "chickenshit", there is the far more important revelation by reporter Jeffrey Goldberg in his latest expose in the Atlantic magazine. A second senior Obama official agreed Netanyahu was a chickenshit not only in the Palestinian peace process, but also on the Iranian nuclear threat:
"The Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in order to keep the regime in Tehran from building an atomic arsenal. It's too late for him to do anything. Two, three years ago, this was a possibility. But ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger - it was a combination of our pressure and his own unwillingness to do anything dramatic. Now it's too late."
Lots of cities have free Wi-Fi, but only one – so far – has an eTree.
This revolutionary ecological installation from Israel's Sologic provides free wireless Internet, charging stations for electronic devices, nighttime lighting, and water coolers for humans and dogs – all powered by a "canopy" of solar panels.
On October 26, 1994 Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty at Wadi Araba, only the second such agreement, after the Israel-Egypt treaty of 1978, between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The treaty, followed by more than one dozen subsequent sectoral agreements, established a solid framework for bilateral cooperation in the political, economic, and cultural fields.
Islamist terror struck within minutes in two separate world capitals, Ottawa and Jerusalem. It was a stark sign of the times that pits the militant Islam from over 1,400 years ago against everyone else: Christians, Jews, and other Muslims. Lone terrorists struck in Ottawa and Jerusalem, and Jihadist forces continue to threaten and massacre the remaining Muslim Kurds in the Syrian town of Kobani, while in Tehran it appears as if the ayatollahs have conned the U.S. into letting them keep their nuclear facilities for building A Bombs.
Sir Ellis Kadoorie, a Jewish philanthropist, died in the year 1922 and according to his will, two agricultural schools were founded in the land of Israel. One of them is the well-known Kadoorie Agricultural High School for the Jews in the Lower Galilee. IsraCast brings you a sequence of photos which were recently discovered, of the second agricultural school which was founded for the Arabs of Eretz Israel, in the city of Tulkarm.
The Yom-Kippur War began on October 6, 1973 when the combined armies of Egypt and Syria attacked Israel in the Suez Canal area and the Golan Heights. On October 22, the Security Council adopted Resolution 338 calling for "all parties to the present fighting to cease all firing and terminate all military activity immediately."
More than a million Jews were expelled from Arab and Muslim countries between 1948 and 1974, without asking for compensation or the right to return. Pierre Rehov's "Silent Exodus", is a tribute to their tragedy.
Returning home from the Cairo meeting to rebuild Gaza, the U.S. Secretary of State has hinted that Israel is partly to blame for the rise of Islamic State:
"There isn't a leader I met with in the region who didn't raise with me spontaneously the need to try and get peace between Israel and the Palestinians, because it was a cause for recruitment and street anger and agitation. People need to understand the connection of that, and it has something to do with humiliation, and denial, and absence of dignity."
Moshe Dayan was an Israeli military warrior who became a crusader for peace. He was skilled in both battle and diplomacy, and played a key role in four wars, but also helped negotiate the historic Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.
Ron Arad was captured after answering a call for reserve duty as a navigator in the Israeli air force. He was forced to bail out of his plane over the city of Sidon in Lebanon and was captured by members of the Iranian backed Shiite Amal organization. Since then, Ron has been held captive by several groups, all of them extremist Shiite groups, backed by Iran.
Tourism Minister Rechavam Ze'evy was assassinated by two shots to the head outside his room at the Jerusalem Hyatt Hotel on October 17, 2001. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility for the attack.
Sarah Livni, the mother of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was a member of the Irgun, a pre-state paramilitary organization, and was arrested by the British and imprisoned in Bethlehem.
The satellite photos are shocking - the mysterious explosion flattened many buildings inside Iran's Parchin military test site. Now under international pressure to reach a nuclear accord with the 5P+1, the timing of the blast was atrocious for Tehran. It again raises the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon in the making. So far the Iranian negotiators have continued to stonewall with their diplomatic waltz of one step forward and two steps back. It appears that Ayatollah Khamenei and the fanatic Revolutionary Guards, who call the shots, are ready to make some marginal concessions in return for easing the crippling economic sanctions. However, they have dug in their heels on maintaining the potential to develop A-bombs in the future. Say, after the Iranian economy has recovered. So what went wrong in Parchin on October 7th that sent 'shock waves' not only through Tehran but also across the world?
Israel first in the world to develop professional medical clowning
In full clown garb, Shoshi Ofir leads the way from the main street of the Baruch Padeh (Poriya) Medical Center compound to a small building purposely situated in a slightly secluded location.
"This is the Tene Center," she announces proudly, pointing to the unassuming edifice with her shiny green purse, shaped like a watering can.
The red rubber ball covering her nose, and the pink plastic boots grabbing the bottoms of her colorful coveralls, glisten in the strong Tiberias sun.
IS forces. An estimated 12,000 Kurds are surrounded in the town, and Anne Barnard, the New York Times correspondent in Istanbul, has raised the of their slaughter by IS. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the only two foreign leaders who could possibly prevent it, continue to wring their hands and refuse to take effective action. Nobody expects anything decent from Erdogan, who hates the Kurds for campaigning against Turkey for their independence, but Obama?? Despite the US President's vow to 'degrade and ultimately destroy' Islamic State forces, he has launched a few feeble air strikes against what appears to be the main IS thrust on Kobani. American officials have said the air attacks had knocked out several IS armored trucks, destroyed an IS unit, and damaged a tank. Is this all the damage the most powerful air force in the world could inflict on IS forces in the Kobani area?
Watch former Israeli president "look" for work after presidency
One of Israel's longest serving and most memorable statesmen, Shimon Peres, has finished his term as President of Israel, bringing his 70-year (he is now 91) career of public service to an end, for now at least. Watch this humorous satire that his granddaughter, screen writer Mika Almog, created in honor of the occasion, inspired by her grandfather's "Letter to a Younger Generation."
For Westerners, it's hard to imagine life without electricity — but that's the situation for more than a billion people, according to the UN. Besides making lives less convenient in far-flung rural areas and crowded urban slums in the developing countries of Africa and Asia — no electric lights or computers — it means an existence socially and economically worlds away from the 21st century in the West. Now an Israeli firm is working to close the gap by delivering technology.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu: How about taking your own advice? If an Iranian A-bomb is the greatest threat to Israel and the world, why do you repeatedly take your eye off the ball by building new housing units in a controversial area of Jerusalem? Granted the original decision was taken two years ago and has only now been approved by the Jerusalem municipality, but you could have blocked it. Or at the very least, announced that you oppose such a tendentious decision at a time you are rallying US and international support for maintaining the sanctions on Tehran.

On The holiest day of the Jewish year, a surprise joint attack by Egypt and Syria crossing the cease-fire lines in the Sinai and Golan Heights threatened the very existence of the Jewish state. 2,586 Israeli soldiers were killed and thousands more wounded.
Keep your eye on the Iranian ball! Don't win the war on ISIL and lose the war to a nuclear Iran! This was the most telling message in Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's address to the UN General Assembly in New York. Obviously Israel's leader is worried about reports the US and the rest of the 5P+1 may offer Tehran an easing of the nuclear sanctions, if the Iranians join the coalition against Islamic State. He did not pull any punches:
'The Islamic Republic (Iran) is now trying to bamboozle its way to an agreement that will remove the sanctions it still faces, and leave it with the capacity of thousands of centrifuges to enrich uranium. This would effectively cement Iran's place as a threshold nuclear power. In the future, at a time of its choosing, Iran, the world's most dangerous state in the world's most dangerous region, would obtain the world's most dangerous weapons'.
Avraham "Bren" Adan, (5 October 1926– 28 September 2012) was an Israeli general who served in the military between 1947 and 1973. Raised the Israeli "Ink Flag" following the successful Uvda Operation in the 1948 War of Independence, in which the Jordanian outpost in Eilat was captured.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as the Jewish New Year. However, the term "Rosh Hashanah" does not actually appear in the Torah, but rather is referred to as the Feast of Trumpets, known as "Zikhron Teru'ah" in Leviticus 23:24 - "a memorial with the blowing of horns". It is also referred to in the same part of Leviticus as a penultimate Sabbath or meditative rest day, and a "holy day to God". It is the first of the High Holy Days ("Days of Awe") which usually occur in the early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere and consist of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). The trumpets are meant to serve as a wakeup call, to bring the people to prayer and repentance in preparation for the coming Day of Atonement.
Alas, leading from behind will not work for US President Barack Obama in the Middle East. American jets are bombing and Tomahawk cruise missiles are blasting Islamic State ground forces and oil refineries in northern Syria and Iraq. After Gen. Martin Dempsey forewarned Obama that the air strikes on IS had better be serious or else he might have to recommend ground forces, the President got the message. Adding insult to injury, two of his former defense secretaries, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, also castigated Obama for being too eager to withdraw US troops from Iraq, a move that has exacerbated the overall situation. With Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain and even Qatar joining Obama's invitation to follow his lead, Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has now told the UN General Assembly that he's on board, as is Holland. The meltdown in Iraq and the civil war in Syria have spawned the IS juggernaut in those two former states and forced Obama to jettison his soft power, and switch to a harder foreign policy. This is how the US President described it in his address to the current session of the UN General Assembly in New York:
'The only language understood by killers like this (IS) is the language of force'.
Is ISIL now perpetrating a massacre of Kurds in northern Syria? Yes, according to Kurdish leaders in both Syria and Iraq. In the past several days, ISIL tanks, artillery and motorized forces have been pounding Kurdish militia in the area near the town of Kobani, which is nearly surrounded except for an escape route north to the Turkish border. An estimated sixty Kurdish villages have been overrun - thirty-nine fell on September 19th alone. Thousands of frantic Kurdish women, girls and small children have been fleeing to the north. Many have reportedly been kidnapped along the way by ISIL. The Kurdish militia are trying to stem the ISIL onslaught, but are vastly out gunned by the Muslim fanatics. President Masoud Barzani, the senior Kurdish leader has issued an appeal to the world before it is too late:
'I call upon the international community to take every measure as soon as possible to save Kobani and the people of Syrian Kurdistan from the terrorists - they will not hesitate to commit crimes and atrocities, therefore, they must be hit wherever they are'.
The current chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff has this policy - he calls them as he sees them. Apparently he has serious doubts about President Barack Obama's strategy for defeating ISIL in Iraq and Syria by air power. And that is why Gen. Martin Dempsey has told Congress:
'If there are threats to the US, then I, of course, would go back to the President and make a recommendation that may include the use of US military ground forces'.
Predictably, Obama hit the roof. If Dempsey had opened the door to the military need for an eventual deployment of American 'boots on the ground', Obama slammed it shut. Appearing before American troops twenty-four hours later in Tampa, Florida hours later, the President declared unequivocally:
'The American forces that have been deployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission'.
In an effort to drum up support for his newfound ISIL strategy, Obama noted that Britain and France were already flying missions over Iraq, and that Canada and Australia were sending military advisors.
A tradition that began in 2006, Researchers' Night is once again enthralling and enriching the minds of Israel's "regular folk," with research and innovation from every direction. Researchers' Night is an international event which takes place eatch year all over europe, in association with the Europian Union, this time being the eighth year in a row. At the same time every year, events and lectures are held all over the country in many different venues to share the love of science with everyone - often in the most nontraditional of venues.
The historical irony is striking, on the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11, another U.S. President, Barack Obama, has been forced to declare total war on a new breed of Muslim maniacs. However, Obama is no George Bush, a ranting Republican hawk raring to take on al Qaeda. This time it was a dovish Democrat, who at the outset of his term, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaign promises - the judges in Oslo had discerned correctly that Obama would take a new approach in the Middle East and conclude America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But the reality of fanatical Islam, far more savage than even al Qaida, has upset Obama's 'best laid plans'.
Today IsraCast remembers and honors the lives lost in the September 11th Terror Attacks. May their memories be blessed.
During the war, a portion of the recordings that Avi Yaffe recorded of the war were publicized. After hearing these recordings, Avi was approached by singer Avraham Pereira and Composer Haim Tzur to record a special set of songs written in lieu of the war in Avi's studio.
במלחמת יום הכיפורים, כאשר חזרתי הביתה, פורסמו חלק מההקלטות שביצעתי בעת המלחמה במעוז פורקן.בעקבות זאת, פנו אלי הזמר אברהם פררה והמלחין חיים צור וביקשו להקליט באולפני מספר שירים.
In 1940 and 1941 there were a number of air-raids on Haifa and Tel-Aviv by the Italian air-force. On September, 1940, a residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv was targeted by the Italian planes, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred people.
Many have only recently become familiarized with Lou Gehrig's disease, also know as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), with the recent popularity of "The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge," which has taken social media by storm, and succeeded in raising millions of dollars for research - specifically, a comprehensive study of the human genome to determine genetic factors in onset and progression of this degenerative disease. What you may not have heard, however, is that before there was the Ice Bucket Challenge to chill the spine, warm the heart, and open the wallet, Israeli biotech company, BrainStorm, has been tirelessly working in the background for years, developing a new and effective treatment for ALS (as well as other debilitating neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease) using adult stem cells, and the results will astound you!
In Israel, the Galei Tzahal radio station has reported that al Sisi was willing to contribute 1,600 square kilometers of Sinai to expand Gaza five times its present size. The new territory, together with Gaza, would provide the Palestinians with a Palestinian state under control of the Palestinian Authority, which is headed by President Mahmoud Abbas. On August 6, 2005, the IsraCast website first reported on a land swap proposal for Sinai that was proposed by Prof. Yehoshua Ben Arieh. At that time, IsraCast sponsor, Avi Yaffe even raised the question at a private meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who expressed interest in the idea.
Israel Tal (September 13, 1924 – September 8, 2010), also known as Talik, was an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) general known for his knowledge of tank warfare and for leading the development of Israel's Merkava tank.
The Munich massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually murdered by Black September, a group with ties to Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization.
Why in Jerusalem, did Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu annex another 1,000 acres of West Bank land, if he knew that in Washington, U.S. President Barack Obama would hit the roof? Indeed the annexation has thrown a monkey wrench into the already strained relations between the two allies after Obama, in effect, ordered Netanyahu to call a unilateral ceasefire, although Hamas was still launching rockets and mortars at Israel. The answer is that Netanyahu has been hauled over the coals in his own Likud party and the far Right for reigning in the IDF before it finished off the Hamas leadership and its forces, and therefore, he used the annexation to placate his Right wing supporters. But surely the national interest should trump domestic politics. On this score, Henry Kissinger's observation that 'Israel has no foreign policy, only domestic politics' does apply. However this generalization, like most others, is only partially correct.
Who really bears responsibility for the killing of some 2,100 Palestinians, in the fighting between Hamas and Israel that ended on August 26 (1,100 Palestinian civilians and 1,000 terrorists)? Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has actually blamed Hamas for starting the war by escalating the rocketing of the Jewish state and then rejecting numerous Egyptian ceasefire proposals that Israel accepted. Interviewed on Palestinian TV, Abbas vented his anger: 'It was possible for us to avoid all that, the 2,000 martyrs, 10,000 injured and 50,000 houses that were damaged or destroyed (by Israeli counter strikes)'. Abbas, who recently signed a unity government agreement with Hamas, also criticized Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal for starting the war without consulting him. And Abbas added that if Hamas ever did it again, they would go it alone. The Palestinian President played an influential role in persuading Hamas to accept the ceasefire after Israel refused to give in to Hamas demands.

Hi: 7° Lo:0°
By Dan Santy Tuesday 04 December 2012 Updated: 19/12 15:34
CHRISTMAS has come early for the family whose stolen puppy was returned to them after being rescued by two strangers in Birmingham.
Paul and Kelly Tolin were heartbroken when their young bulldog, Charley, was taken from their Cawston home in a break-in just three weeks after they first got her.
In the five weeks since, Mr Tolin mounted a Twitter campaign which attracted a following of thousands including people in America and celebrities like Jonathan Ross and Julian Clary.
And it paid off, with two women who followed the Twitter page spotting Charley being walked outside a school in Sheldon, Birmingham, last Thursday (November 29).
After confronting the woman - who said she had been given the dog as a present - the police were called and a scan revealed she was indeed the missing pup.
Mr Tolin told the Observer of his family's joy at being reunited with Charley, who he had bought for £2,000 as a birthday present for his wife.
"We're just delighted to have her back. It's hard to express how we're feeling, and the support we've received has been amazing," he said.
"We had pretty much given up, despite all the support we had received.
"As time went by the campaign just got bigger and bigger. We had people from America asking questions and giving us their support."
Since Charley was taken in October the family had received numerous tip-offs saying she had been spotted, but Mr Tolin believes last week was the first genuine sighting.
Police are still trying to trace the thieves who stole Charley from her Cresswell Place home on the afternoon of Wednesday October 24.
Mr Tolin said: "It was a very brave thing for two strangers to do for us, so we're very grateful to them.
"Everyone following us on Twitter is ecstatic. The messages haven't stopped coming in since we got her back.
"She settled back in with us very quickly. We were a bit worried she wouldn't, but she remembers us and it's as if she was never away.
"It's great to get her back so close to Christmas."

The Blues general manager acknowledged that Monday morning during a conference call with reporters to discuss the team's re-signing of goalie Brian Elliott to a three-year deal. The move, which comes a few weeks after Armstrong stated that heralded prospect Jake...

Blues Sign Brian Elliott To Extension; Ryan Miller Likely Leaving
The St. Louis Blues made a splash at the trade deadline when they landed goalie Ryan Miller in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. It now appears that Miller was brought in simply as a rental. The Blues announced Monday morning that they have come to terms on a three-year contract extension with goaltender Brian Elliott. The extension is reportedly worth $7.5 million. Elliott, who was...

This was supposed to be the year the St. Louis Blues finally hoisted the Stanley Cup. The Blues won a franchise-record 52 games this season, went all-in at the trade deadline by acquiring Ryan Miller and Steve Ott and even took a 2-0 series lead against the Chicago Blackhawks in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. But in an all-too-familiar fashion, the Blues dropped four in a...

Linux Systems Adminstrator / 'DevOps' Engineer (London)TIM Group London, UK (relocation offered)
Job Description
TIM Group is looking for a Linux Systems Administrator / Operations "DevOps" Engineer to join our team in London. Our infrastructure team collaborates with development to build and support all the tooling to facilitate our in-house web applications (SaaS) during development and production, including CI environments, deployment tools and provisioning systems. Our team is a mixture of software, tools and system engineers, likewise is our development team. This gives us a unique angle from which to collaborate on a variety of problems.
We are making excellent progress in eliminating snowflake servers from our entire stack. We strive to make all systems ephemeral using a series of tooling including Puppet, MCollective and a series of home grown open source components. This gives us the ability to destroy and re-provision continuously in order to catch regressions and prevent configuration drift. We're able to advance in this area, partially because we own 100% of the stack including hardware; giving us total control to create our own private cloud and follow our ideal principles - we're not constrained to the likes of EC2 or other providers.
Our traffic is also very low volume, but high value - this gives us significant amounts of flexibility to perfect our environment which high volume sites are unable to compete with. We are not high frequency, nor significantly low latency thus have less constraints and more approaches available to us. We aim to push the boundaries of infrastructure architecture, deployment and of continuous integration and delivery.
The ideal candidate would be passionate about refining and perfecting the way web applications are deployed and managed. They will have mixed sysadmin/development skills to help us advance the state of the art:
(plus more in development)
Our Business
Our systems help manage billion-dollar portfolios, feed complex quantitative financial models, and fuel the sales and trading desks of the world's largest investment banks. We give our teams the freedom to use the tools and languages that they need to solve the problems inherent in these systems.
Due to our rapid business growth since launching our products in 2005, we have grown our development teams in our London and Boston offices. We offer a fun, challenging, and rewarding working environment and the opportunity to work with world-class talent to help you build a world-class career.
Our Technologies
Our DevOps tooling provides automated deployment and management of a diverse array of Linux-based technologies using KVM virtualization, managed by Puppet and MCollective, with significant in-house tools written in Ruby. The products we deploy are written primarily in Scala and/or Java, backed by an array of leading open-source tools including MySQL, MongoDB, IPVS load balancing, Graphite, LogStash, and RabbitMQ.
Our Process
We use agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair-programming, and continuous delivery, adapting these to our needs as necessary. We are a self-managed distributed team that collaborate in an open and flexible way. Every team member proposes solutions, and we're all equally willing to lead when appropriate and follow when that's what's needed. Our team has a true DevOps focus, with backgrounds in both systems administration and development, and we highly value the melding of those skill sets.
Skills & Requirements

- Excellent problem solving skills
- Expertise with systems automation and configuration management technologies such as Puppet

Irish Blogger Gathering: Roll The Tide Edition
Dec 29, 2012, 9:31 AM EST
It's been five weeks since Notre Dame last played a game, and luckily for us, the wait is almost over. The Fighting Irish leave for Miami on Wednesday in preparation for their clash with Alabama on Jan. 7.
For the big game, we're splitting the Irish Blogger Gathering into two parts. One today, and the second a week from now (Jan. 5).
In the first of our two-part IBG for the national championship game, I sent my questions to NDtex from Her Loyal Sons. In turn, Subway Domer asked me about the big game, Everett Golson, and my thoughts on statues. Visit his site to check out my answers.
Also, don't forget to check out Inside The Irish for the rest of IBG.
Without further ado, here's what NDtex had to say…
The big matchup everyone is talking about is the Alabama offensive line vs. the Notre Dame defensive line. In the SEC championship, Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon ran all over Georgia, but with a little better clock management, the Bulldogs might have won. Do the Irish have to shut down the Tide running game, or can they win even if these guys get their yards?
I definitely believe that our front seven can contain the Alabama rushing offense, but we shouldn't just gloss over AJ McCaron and the Tide passing offense as well. Either way, the gameplan will be the same as it has been all season: bend, but don't break. If the Irish can continue to prevent the big strikes, the big plays and stops will take care of themselves.
Or to say it in another way, I have all kinds of confidence in the Irish defense. Bring it.
When Notre Dame and Alabama meet in Miami, it will have been more than six weeks since the game at USC. Are you concerned with this layoff? Do the Tide benefit at all from having been there last year, or do you think that intangible is overrated?
I am, to a point. Alabama has to deal with a layoff too and, to be honest, I don't think five or six weeks makes any difference. What I do worry about is a chance that the Irish have some slight rust and give up a big play far too soon. For instance, look at Miami. ND had a bye week and it took them a while to adjust to their speed when the game started. Thankfully, the Hurricanes aided the Irish by dropping some sure TDs, but we can't count on those same mistakes again.
And I honestly don't think it matters that the Tide have "been here" before either. The Irish have "been here" every week. The national spotlight and scrutiny have been on the Irish all season. I truly believe Kelly has this team prepared to handle everything in stride and January 7 will be just another game they need to win.
We're all Notre Dame bloggers, so I'm going to assume we all expect the Irish to upset Alabama. How do you think the game will play out? Why will Notre Dame hoist the crystal ball on Jan. 7?
I anticipate this game is going to be a slugfest, much like ND/OU was out in Norman. If the Irish follow the same blueprint as they have in 2012 (solid defense and minimize mistakes on offense) there is no reason why the crystal football won't find it's way back to South Bend.

Report: NH health care professionals need to improve veterans' care
"Stigma is synonymous with disgrace, dishonor and shame," reads some of the strongest language of the report. Stigma, the report recommends, must be attacked with education, compassion and accessible health care.
The commission plans to present the report to Gov. Maggie Hassan on Friday. On Jan. 16, it will be the subject of an afternoon presentation at the Legislative Office Building that is scheduled to include New Hampshire Adjutant Gen. William Reddel and other military and civilian leaders.
She said New Hampshire is the only state in the country with such a position.
Moncher said the commission will support legislation to give it permanent status so its work can continue when it comes to fighting the stigma of the battlefield diseases, educating health care providers about military culture, and building a continuum of care between military and civilian programs.
And the report recommends that all health care providers ask new patients if they have served in the military.

Minneapolis, Min...
The crazy vintage fabric dictated a retro style dress. I didn't have a pattern for my vision, so I designed a wide V-neck bodice cut on the bias with kimono sleeves and three underbust released darts. (those darts sort of messed with the chicken chevron idea in an unappealing way). The bodice connects to a simple waistband that I simple gathered the skirt to. More here

... I'm in core contingent of (heavy drinking) friends. Ed, Carl & Rach (pronounced Ratch) are from Kent/London and Viviane is German but doesn't like Germans. She's the really organised one that has organised my next week or so. I don't even know the name of the hostel I'll be staying in next. Four of us have been sorted to travel together, with Carl intending to fly home in the next few days. Until he pointed out that he could move it back. Boom. The night as usual escalated. ...

... happy hour and everything was in full swing. Books hostel is located right in the middle of Lappa which has a street party every Friday by the Lappa arches. Lappa is close to one of the most dangerous areas in Rio.

Manchester family, NYC girl they hosted had such a good experience, they're getting together again
But soon those tears gave way to smiles.
Aniyah gives a kiss to Nola as they take a dip in a pool in Ashland in August with Nola's sisters, Lena and Caira. COURTESY
Aniyah will ride a bus with the first wave of 55 Fresh Air kids expected to arrive in New Hampshire on Monday. In total, 154 New Hampshire families will host 161 Fresh Air kids from New York City this summer. Some families will host two or three children - and it's not too late for Granite State families to volunteer to give a child from a low-income neighborhood a break from urban life.
"My girls are very compassionate and caring, and I think this just brought out a whole other side of them and being appreciative of what they have," said Tanya Robinson, the mother of five. "We take our kids out to eat all the time. Aniyah probably could count the number of times she was out in a restaurant on one hand."
Aniyah's brother, Antoine Hopkins Jr., also came to New Hampshire last summer to stay with a different family.
Aniyah could have used a map for the many road trips she and the Robinsons took.
They hit Hampton Beach, Boston and Story Land in the Bartlett village of Glen, to name a few stops.
Much of that fun occurred close to the Robinsons' home.
"My favorite thing is going to to the pool," Aniyah said in a phone interview.
Tanya Robinson said two or three families there hosted Fresh Air kids last year, and the idea caught on.
Linda Pomeroy, Greater Manchester volunteer leader for the Fresh Air Fund, said her Fresh Air child, Christopher, made his first visit to New Hampshire when he was 7. Now in high school, Christopher still visits Pomeroy's Mont Vernon home each summer.
Pomeroy said her two adult children sometimes come along on hikes. Other outings, such as fishing excursions or trips to Water Country in Portsmouth, include other Fresh Air families.
The separation allowed everyone to become "a little stronger from being away from each other," he said.
"Just give it a chance," she said. "I'm pretty certain anybody who does it once would absolutely do it again."
