And of course I meant tensions between two countries should be defused and not ''diffused''. My error.
Excellent comment by Javed. But both Javed and others may be partially right. Some rogue elements in Pakistani military, intelligence services may well be behind these bombings out of resentment against India. Plus as Javed points out India's interests are diametrically opposed to Taliban's who would like to hurt Indian interests anyway, with or without the help from Pakistan.But the heated slogans and propaganda in India are so fanatically anti- Pakistan and if I may say anti- Muslim, that any acts of terrorism against India make people bay for Pakistani blood, culprit or innocent. Human rights abuses in Kashmir are horrendous. Kashmiris are as tormented, devastated and traumatized as Afghans. This Chicago Tribune news story tells about the alarming rates of mental illnesses and suicides among Kashmiri people: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-kashmir-mental_goeringjun27,0,526... India and Pakistan (and Kashmiris) will benefit immensely if they stop these blame games and war games. Both spend billions every year , have nuclear weapons and live in a tense paranoid state. If these tensions are diffused both countries will save billions every year from military expenditure. Moreover, with peace trade, commerce, industry, innovation, education and foreign investment will see a dramatic rise in both Pakistan and India. I'm certain just within a few decades this region can see enormous benefits of peace and prosperity. But with rants from some politicians and sections of media, I don't see it happening, unless people in both countries wake up to reality, forget the past, give up religious clap trap and force their governments to promptly establish peace or get out of the way.
Kunite it is interesting that you the situation in Kashmir is in control(Indian ) surprisingly the Kashmiri women keep getting raped and the Kashmiri Youth keep getting killed (the toll to date is more than 80000 Kashmiris killed and 95% of these were residents of the Indian occupied Kashmir ), but then that is control , that is what the Kashmiri people can look forward to, treatment as conquered and occupied people, more rape and killings ..Any heightening of the situation in Afghanistan will have negative effect upon Pakistan, which is anyway subject to terrorism by the extremists. The point is in fact conceded as it has been said that 'the terrorist organizations which the ISI had created and have turned their guns at home now' is the ISI using these organization to create mayhem in Pakistan ? Very unlikely and highly improbable , The Taliban are fighting the Western troops and the Tajik minority and the Indian seem to be aligned with the Tajik minority , therein may lie the motivation for the Taliban attack on the Indian Embassy . Why would Pakistan wish to increase their huge problems , The energy projects that are referred to are as much in the interest of Pakistan as India , peace in Afghanistan would have great peace dividends for Pakistan . There seem to be no tactical or strategic reason for Pakistan to up the ante so to day. Look for the culprits elsewhere .
Well..It does not take much intelligence to guess the brains behind this strike.Taliban may be the face but Pakistans ISI feeds these brains. This is just another form of the proxy war that India has been faciing from Pakistan.India's presence in Afganistan is definately a threat to Pakistan, which has till now managed a tightrope walk by supporting and rebuilding the Taliban on one hand and pretending to be cooperative in the war against terrorism ( which has helped Pakistan get a lot of funding from US in the name of 'fight against terrorism').The threat is not only in terms of intelligence but also diplomatic in nature. The Kashmir story is an old one now ( the situation much in control in India)and the terrorist organisations which the ISI had created and have turned their guns at home now.Afganistan may be new ground for Pakistan. Its time India takes tough stand against instances like these and becomes intolerant, be it domestically or internationally.
Emberglow: Your comments on India's various failings are spot-on. I completely accept that we have many faults and are not perfect. But I cannot accept being compared with a state that has a declared idealogy of seperateness based on religon. We in India are a declared secular state and provide equal opportunities to all sections of our people.
Yes, the barbaric incident (as you very rightly termed it) of Godhra is a blight on our secular tradition, though I don't know whether the rest of the world knows about how much condemnation there was for this within India itself.
It would also help for outsiders to appreciate the sheer size we're dealing with here. India has a population probably greater than the EU and equals if not surpasses it in terms of diversity of language, culture, and even religon. So before we start making comparisons with countries whose populations are the size of some Indian cities, it'll help to gain some sense of perspective.
Economist: "What lay behind a devastating attack on the Indian embassy in Afghanistan?"
Well.. it is not rocket science.. but let us play our version of the popular game "Are You Smarter than a fifth grader" combined with "Who wants to be a millionaire?".
The answer choices to the above question are as follows:
A. Evil green faced Martians
B. Ooga booga tribesmen from a dark interior in a dark continent
C. The Shattering Skulls from a galaxy far far away
D. Pakistan.
well.. the answer is...
Wait.. wait.. I guess the Economist needs a "lifeline" to answer that one. Anybody?
I beg to differ with Rohit L. Though idealistically he is right on spot. If the Lily White Western world is allowed to have its presence in Afghanistan it is implied that they are there to civilize it. If India or China are there, then they must have their own axe to grind. Such perceptions are there, though to some extent they have some truth in them, they're mostly prejudicial.Now, let's get to the other thing: India being the world's biggest secular democracy and Pakistan being a backward dump peopled with religious fundamentalist dingbats. Let's get an analogy from a religious text for secular India and religiously fundamentalist Pakistan. Bible mentions in Matthew 7: ''Do not judge, or you too will be judged... Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?''Now after trashing of Pakistan you must come to terms with how India fares against these ''do gooders''? Some very reliable sources tell me that Indian police and military have terrible human rights record against their own citizens. Let's say I'm relying entirely on Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the State Department reports on global human rights abuses and civil rights violations (harassment, imprisonment and torture of Gay and transsexual people, killing of female fetus, violence against women, honor killings etc.) There are scores of other sources inside or outside India that can confirm this.In ''do gooder'' countries like New Zealand, UK, Canada and Australia there are no barbaric incidents like Godhra where an angry mob goes on a slaughter spree of more than 1000 men, women and children while police stand by and ignore it and the politicians abetting this crime win the next elections with impressive majorities. Democracy?As for the secular bit: banning of Dan Brown's thriller Da Vinci Code, is not a very good way to tell the world about secularism. Citizens in do gooder countries actually get to read and know (or not) whatever they want.
Continuing in response to Mr. Bruchett:
It is our good fortune that the western news media organizations like the Economist and the BBC choose to advise their readers on the puported causes behind attacks like these. They are wise enough to determine that one man's terrorist is another man's martyr. Hence, they avoid terms like 'terrorist' and use neutral terms like 'bomber'.
Likewise with the BBC which continues to term India & Pakistan as 'traditional rivals'. I cannot but help see the irony in the worlds biggest secular democracy being equated with a fundamentalist near-failed state. But because the BBC says so, we should continue to remain confined in this mindset.
Serves us right for being too enthusiastic about stregthening our national interest in Afghanistan. After all, who are we wretched Indians to go about building our missions there? Isn't that the job of the perinneal do-gooders - countries like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada?
I can't help but put in writing my puzzlement at this deep-rooted hostility towards India by such media organizations. Also, the near-total whitewashing of Pakistan and China's flouting of all rules of the non-proliferation rules is another mystery. They choose to sermonize India about daring to challenge the NPT, but remain conveniently silent on the breath-taking irresponsibility implied in Pakistan's claim that it did not know anything about A.Q. Khan's network. China, on its part, has flouted every rule in the book in helping Pakistan acquire nuclear weapons and missile technology.
Perhaps its a case of sleeping with the enemy.
Afghanistan's (and its people's) biggest tragedy has always been that it gets reported how other countries fare in Afghanistan: British, Russians, Americans, NATO members, Europeans, Pakistanis, Iranians, Indians, Uzbeks. Taleban, Al Qaeda etc.Afghanistan is a bit like Lebanon as in it gets caught in the cross-firing of outsiders. only that there are dozens of more players than just Syria and Israel in the case of Lebanon.There is one master solution to all of Afghan problems. All these armed foreigners must get out and take their battles somewhere else, preferably on their own territory.
In Response to Mr Bruchett:
"Objectivity, rationality and accuracy are the hall-marks of quality anlysis." This is exactly what I am trying to suggest. The Economist seems to have missed these qualities while it prepared & published this news. Somehow The Economist seems to reserve these qualities only for the news related to the countries that it prefers to speak for. I am not asking The Economist to blame ISI for this attack on Indian Embassy, that is not a news magazine's job. I am just asking them to present facts. I am not asking The Economist to be subjective too.
See the difference:
1) The Economist: India's military and press attachés, who were driving into the embassy as the bomber struck, were among the dead.
2) The ToI: The suicide bomber rammed his Toyota Corolla into Rao's.
Which one do you feel is more objective, rational and accurate? Is The Economist not trying to put it mildly that the Indian diplomats just happened to pass by when the attack happened?
This is just one example(and probably the smallest one). And I don't want to point all such things. People are better judges themselves. I just presented my point of view and it is evident from the recommendations whether people agree with it or not. When The Economist tries to walk on the fence while mentioning anything about ISI & Pakistan, it becomes quite evident which side of the fence it is trying to lean on. If The Economist is supposed to be objective, rational and accurate, it is not supposed to lean on any specific side of the fence.
It may be because The Economist has high readership in North America and USA is currently (purportedly) fighting against terror and is (supposedly) getting help from Pakistan(which harbours terror & terrorists in every possible way). What is the use of trying to fix a self-created problem? Why do they create the problem in the first place? Just to show the world that they are trying to fix the problem? That is exactly what Pakistan does to show the world that it is trying to fix the problem. If you closely observe the complete score of events happening in Pakistan since last 50 years, you will get to know that Pakistan has not done anything else than causing discomfort to the world order by harbouring & fostering terror in every possible way. Apart from Pakistan's physical proximity(which makes it easier for Pak to foster terror) to Iraq and Afghanistan, USA may not be getting any damn help from Pakistan. In fact, Pakistan has shrewdly succeeded in fooling USA(Read "Bush") and robbing it of its dollars since last 8 years while clandestinely distributing nucluear know-how to the underworld at its own behest. And surprisingly, USA(which is accepted by all as the most capable nation in the world) is not able to stop Pakistan from doing exactly what USA wants to evict from this world - terrorism & nuclear proliferation. If USA is so concerned about doing justice in this world, why does it not wake up for the cause of Tibet?Just because USA is afraid of China's might? or because Tibet does not have oil wells?
Well, it is almost a conditioned reflex for all Indians to blame something called the ISI for every atrocity that happens against their citizens. It is time we outgrew that habit. We got to think how far we can be involved in such enterprises as the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan. The bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul happened on Monday. We are all shocked and saddened by it. Some of us who know people there, more so than others. But just the previous day, a U.S. air attack killed perhaps 30 people in a village in Nangarhar province of Afghanistan. The victims were, the Afghan government says, overwhelmingly women and children. The U.S. denies that claim and says that they were engaged in a legitimate military action against a legitimate military target. And as with much else that goes with being the world's policeman, their word has been accepted. Let us not forget, that there are symbols of national might being attacked -- such as the Indian embassy. But the people who are dying are still innocent Afghans. And without the U.S. showing appropriate remorse over civilian deaths and agreeing to basic rules of accountability over their military actions in Afghanistan, the situation is only going to get worse. India should certainly distance itself from these military adventures that the U.S. launches, perhaps with no other intent than testing out some new weapons system. India cannot afford to be seen as an accessory of U.S. designs for Afghanistan.
In Response to PrashDazz:
I whole-heartedly agree that the attack was shocking and sickening, and that it appears plausible that the ISI may have had a hand in it. However, I do not understand your suggestion that The Economist should report on the subject with more bombast and subjectivity. If I understand correctly, you seem to critisize The Economist for looking at why the attack happened rather than lamenting the attack itself. In such a volatile and controversial issue such as the war in Afghanistan, surely cool, level-headed and dispassionate coverage is exactly the sort of reporting we need? Do we really want another newspaper seeking to provoke readers with fiery rhetoric? Besides, it's not as if the article says anything disrespectful towards any of the victims.
Objectivity, rationality and accuracy are the hall-marks of quality anlysis. We should applaud The Economist for upholding these attitudes towards journalism, not chasten.
@ Lone Moderate,
The experiences of American and British troops in Afganistan and Iraq, America in vietnam, India in Sri Lanka all clearly indicates that no good ever comes out of sending your country troops to fight another's war.
It 's a sore point among the populance and strengthens the cause of the terrorists.
Instead, India could help in training and professionalizing the Afgan army and police. Its best that people learn to manage their own affairs.
Otherwise like in another article thread in this very site, you realize for all your good intentions and efforts, at the end of it all, all you get is injury and insult from the needy country... and worst of all, even from your own.
India should contribute soldiers to Afghanistan whilst making efforts to ensure that they are bracketed separately from the Western troops (atleast publicly). To quote an Indian Express article today: "After the Kabul bombing, India must come to terms with an important question that it has avoided debating so far. New Delhi cannot continue to expand its economic and diplomatic activity in Afghanistan, while avoiding a commensurate increase in its military presence there. For too long, New Delhi has deferred to Pakistani and American sensitivities about raising India's strategic profile in Afghanistan." Also the CPI quit the Congress. Rejoice!!!
If you check with most Afghanis they are mostly happy to have the west there. They trust them more than either the Taliban or their own rulers. The vilonece of a vocal minority do not speak for the majority of the population.
Furthermore look up ther term "occupation" it doesn't fit what NATO and the US are now doing in Afghanistan (It does for the US in Iraq). The Afghanis have control over their own country, control their own borders.
This has ISI stamped all over it. The US and the west should cut off funding to Pakistan until the ISI is reformed/replaced. It has spread terrorism to India and Afghanistan and spread nuclear technology to Nth Korea, Iran and possibly Syria. It Tolerates certain elements of the Taliban as it believes they are useful in its attempts to destabilise Afghanistan. It is a central party to many of the ills in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. Unless it is dealt with the wars in Afghanistan and India (Kashmere/Kashmir) can not be brought under control.
This attack on Indian Embassy has little to do with US/NATO occupation of Afghanistan or the war on terror. It was an attack on India by Pakistan's ISI backed militants.India appears to be a preferred destination for ordinary Afhgans for education and medical services. Combine this with the hatred they have for Pakistan for supporting Taliban.With peace returning to Kashmir valley, Pakistan finds it difficult to wage the proxy war on India. This make it difficult for the Pakistan army and ISI to justify their existence/funding. Hence they resort to attack on India in Afghanistan.Sadly Economist missed the point and messed up its story.
Also just one point, it will be interesting if the party under scrutiny claims responsibility or whether the buck will lie in silent neutral territory (for after all such attacks have thoughts with regards to eliciting coverage).
We must remember that only Afghanistan and Iran separate the European Customs Union from China. Just those two nations. What is needed is a much improved infraestructure for that Eurasian connection...but the US, an extra-Eurasian Power, wants full strategical control of the new silk road.

Harris Teeter seems to be having a major clearance on health & beauty items and pet supplies. Reader Adrienne told us this morning that the Harris Teeter at Barracks Road in Charlottesville has several carts full of stuff! I was at the Crozet store yesterday and found several carts of clearance too.
It is impossible to list the items and items will vary by store. Here is a glimpse of what was available this morining:
In the pet food bin there was Purina GoodBites, Snausages, Kibbles & Bits food, Ceasar Treat Pouches, Milk-Bone, Tiny T-Bonz and more!
In the facial products cart there were a lot of Olay Regenerist & Definity items, some Neutrogena, L'Oreal, Nivea, Clearasil, Biore, Phisoderm and Clean & Clear.
In the scented products cart there were Glade, Renuzit and Oust products.
Here is the deal with Harris Teeter clearance items. When they ring up clearance items, it registers as a discounted item. It doesn't register the name of the product with the computer. Therefore, when the coupons are scanned, they beep. This is no big deal but it will require a manager override. You may want to give the cashier a heads up. Show them the items and coupons you have and ask for the manager ahead of time. This will make the transaction go more smoothly!
Take along your extra coupons to Harris Teeter this week! You may be able to score some FREE items.

19 Shi'ites killed in south-west Pakistan attack
Published on Dec 30, 2012 2:26 PM
QUETTA, Pakistan (AFP) - A car bomb attack on a bus in Pakistan's insurgency-hit southwest killed at least three Shi'ite pilgrims and wounded some others on Sunday, officials said.
The remotely-triggered bomb hit a convoy of three buses in Mastung district, some 30 kilometres south of Quetta in Baluchistan province.
"One bus was badly damaged. Three Shi'ite pilgrims were killed and 25 wounded and the death toll may rise," Mr Akbar Hussain Durrani, a senior government official in Quetta, told AFP.
He said some 180 Shi'ite pilgrims were on their way to Iran when the bomb ripped through one of the buses.

Shorten PSSA school days
February 16, 2005
By Christopher Paslay
For students and staff at schools around the state, February means more than groundhogs or dead presidents' birthdays: It marks the start of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exams. The PSSA is a series of state-mandated tests that measure student performance in the basics - reading, writing and mathematics. The tests also serve as the major tool for documenting a district's academic achievement. Schools not meeting predetermined standards are subject to public criticism and sometimes are overhauled.
Pennsauken Rejects A Longer School Day
June 20, 1986
By Jan Hefler, Special to The Inquirer
The Pennsauken Board of Education, by a 7-1 vote, last night rejected a proposal to lengthen the school day at the high school and middle school, a plan that was aimed at improving scores in the state-mandated proficiency test. Instead, the board approved another plan that will offer extra math instruction to middle school students in need of remedial help. John Ritchie, prinicipal of the middle school, said board members opted for the second plan partly because they felt it would be more effective in improving basic skills.
Saturday's A School Day For Octorara Students
May 5, 1994
By Susan Weidener, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Saturday classes for high school students had a short but successful run last weekend at Octorara Senior High School. Seventy percent of the students in grades nine through 11 braved the fog to make it to school by 8 a.m. Saturday, school officials said this week. Classes ran until 12:15 p.m., with one 15-minute break. The students had to make up four hours of instructional time after the district fell short of the 990 hours for secondary students required to get state financing.
Consistent conservative Toomey is accustomed to success Toomey stays true to his conservatives roots
April 9, 2004
By Patrick Kerkstra INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In the late 1970s, when inflation was rampant and memories of Watergate and the Vietnam War were still raw, Pat Toomey spent part of each school day in a high school history classroom quietly seething. It was the teacher who got under his skin. Too many lectures were about capitalism's failings, corruption in Washington, or how America was no better than the Soviet Union. None of it squared with Toomey's patriotic take on U.S. history or his budding conservative ideology. "I felt we were a great, great country, a great civilization," said Toomey, 42, who has represented the Lehigh Valley and parts of Montgomery County in the House of Representatives since 1999.
Bonner-Prendie High holds virtual school day
February 14, 2014
BY REGINA MEDINA, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5985
ANOTHER severe snowstorm, another day of missed instruction. Repeat. The pattern this winter has been unbearable, especially for school administrators. Officials at Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast Catholic High School, however, found a way to break the cycle. Principal Bill Brannick and the school's academic board yesterday rolled out Cyber Snow Days, a pilot program aimed at offsetting missed instruction days by having students complete assignments electronically at home.
Inquirer Editorial: School days are too short
November 23, 2012
The Cherry Hill Board of Education and its teachers agreed to a new contract this week that extends the school day for middle and high school students. To better understand why, simply do the math. Beginning in September, the school day will begin 30 minutes earlier for secondary students. Elementary teachers will also report a half-hour earlier to prepare before their students arrive. The additional time adds up. Thirty minutes more every day for 180 days is the equivalent of about 14 days in additional classroom or preparation time.
School Day Is Normal After Massacre In Ark.

Children returned to classes yesterday for the first time since four classmates and 12 other people died in a Christmastime massacre, and one school official described the day as "so close to normal it's scary. " "Just super" was the way high school principal Lloyd Herrick said the 1,150 pupils in the district seemed to be coping in the wake of the slayings of 16 people, all but two from one family. Ronald Gene Simmons Sr., 47, has been charged with two of the slayings. He is expected to be charged with the other 14, all members of his family.
Adding Hours To The School Day To Provide Extra Supervision
May 29, 1988
By Shelly Phillips, Special to The Inquirer
Here's the bad thing for 10-year-old Tamara Weiner: Her friend Katy attends the Upper Merion Area School District Extended Day Program only twice weekly. "I wish she would go there the other days," Tamara said. "But now I'm starting to go there less, because I'm kind of capable of staying by myself. " Now, maybe. Four years ago, no way. The after-school extended-day program began when Tamara was a first grader. Before school, she went to a neighbor's house. Now that there is a morning program as well, Tamara arrives at school at 7:30 a.m. "I like the idea of dropping her at school and knowing that she is in good hands," said Judy Weiner, an associate professor of computer science at Temple University.

Police: Bullets found at Main Line school not a threat
November 13, 2014
By Justine McDaniel, Inquirer Staff Writer
Police are investigating how a bag of bullets ended up in the common area of a Main Line Hebrew school Wednesday, prompting a major law enforcement response and an early end to the school day. "There was never a threat or any type of imminent threat," Lt. Andy Block, a Radnor police spokesman, said of the discovery before noon of the ammunition at the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy on South Bryn Mawr Avenue. He said officers and dogs from the Radnor and Haverford police departments did a security check of the school and, because of the hour of the day, students were dismissed early.
A later start time for schools in N.J.?
October 12, 2014
By Rita Giordano and Melanie Burney, Inquirer Staff Writers
Sleep-deprived teenagers of New Jersey, take heart. One state senator thinks you deserve a break. Sen. Richard J. Codey (D., Essex) introduced a bill this week that would require the state Department of Education to study the issues, benefits, and options involved in instituting a later school-day start time for middle and high schoolers. He said an impetus for the legislation was a recent report by the American Academy of Pediatrics that calls insufficient sleep among the nation's adolescents an "epidemic" and "an important public health issue" with far-reaching impacts on physical and mental health, safety, and school performance.
Cops: Upper Darby mom provoked teen fight
October 1, 2014
BY STEPHANIE FARR, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-4225
ONE UPPER DARBY mother took her parenting cues from LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out," when she urged her daughter to fight another girl in the parking lot of a gas station on Friday afternoon, police said. "She flunked Parenting 101," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. "Kids are kids but parents that push them to have a fight, that makes no sense whatsoever. " This month's contender for mother of the year, Nicole Holton, 36, was shameless when police broke up the fight and tried to get to the bottom of how it started, Chitwood said.
School District is sued in sixth grader's asthma death
September 5, 2014
By Vernon Clark, Inquirer Staff Writer
The estate of a 12-year-old girl who died after suffering an asthma attack at a West Philadelphia elementary school - that at the time did not have a nurse on duty - has lodged a wrongful-death suit against the School District. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, seeks damages in the Sept. 25, 2013, death of Laporshia Massey. Also named as defendants were the school, its principal, and Laporshia's teacher. According to the suit, Laporshia was attending classes at Bryant Elementary School, at 6001 Cedar Ave., when she began having difficulty breathing.
Mastery, Uncommon Schools approved for Camden
July 11, 2014
By Clark Mindock, Inquirer Staff Writer
The New Jersey Department of Education approved applications Wednesday for two new "Renaissance" schools in Camden, a move expected to lead to new school buildings in the Cramer Hill and Whitman Park neighborhoods. Mastery Charter Schools and Uncommon Schools will join the already approved KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy project. "We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Camden School District to offer a high-quality education to Camden students," Barbara Martinez, a spokeswoman for Uncommon Schools, said in an e-mail.
Broken promise? School turnaround model in limbo amid district funding crisis
June 13, 2014
BY SOLOMON LEACH, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5903
DURING ASHNA Blackston's sophomore year at Martin Luther King High in East Germantown, she got out of school later than her peers at other schools. For many teenagers, it would've been a nuisance, but the extra time allowed Blackston to get tutoring, dig into her studies and develop a closer relationship with her teachers. "You could learn more in the classes. We had more time for the teachers to work with us one-on-one," recalled Blackston, now a senior. "It was helpful. " King was part of the second set of Promise Academies - the district's turnaround model ushered in under the late Arlene Ackerman's Renaissance Schools Initiative to turn around failing schools.
First-grader at Jackson School in South Phila. dies after becoming ill at school
May 23, 2014
By Kristen A. Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer
A 7-year-old student died suddenly after becoming ill at a city public school on Wednesday. The child, a first grader at Jackson School in South Philadelphia, experienced a medical emergency and appeared to stop breathing. Classroom staff administered CPR and called 911, and the child was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was pronounced dead. "It's shocking, and it's tragic, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family," said School District spokesman Fernando Gallard.
Cherry Hill students choose Saturday makeup sessions
May 15, 2014
By Rita Giordano, Inquirer Staff Writer
On Saturday morning, teenagers around the region will be sleeping in, working out, heading to a job, hitting the mall - all the weekend things teenagers do. But not Cherry Hill's seniors. At 8 a.m. Saturday, they'll be at school. And believe it or not, it was the students' decision. To satisfy the state's requirement of a 180-day school year, and to avoid the logistical nightmare of rescheduling graduation, the district opted for Saturday school to let seniors make up some of the year's snow days.
Clearview Regional spares custodial workers
May 9, 2014
By Angelo Fichera, Inquirer Staff Writer
MULLICA HILL Following what could have been the start of her last days cleaning the halls of the Pioneers, Lina Scarpaci wore a bright yellow sweater. "I try to be positive," the 50-year-old custodial worker at Clearview Regional High School said Wednesday night of her cheerful attire. "That's all I can do. " Scarpaci, who has been in her position for 25 years, was one of 14 custodial workers at the district's middle and high school whose jobs remained in limbo until Wednesday night, as school officials mulled privatizing the work to help balance a $37.8 million budget.

So I called customer service this morning and they confirmed the model number 55LA6900 she said something about the website not reflecting the model number due to the pricing issue with LG. Don't know why she told me this, but i'm getting the correct tv!

Balanced Warfare - V1Jul 2, 2013 Balanced Warfare Full Version 0 comments
First release for Balanced Warfare for red alert 1
Dark experiments have permanently altered time. Or have they? Now, Soviet tanks crush city after city while Allied cruisers shell bases. Spies lurk, land mines wait, and strange new technologies aid both sides in their struggle for ultimate control. Einstein was a brilliant mind, but he did not comprehend the consequences of his actions until it was too late... Command & Conquer: Red alert gives you the opportunity to be more devious, cunning and ruthless than ever before. Easy to play and highly addictive, Red alert puts the fate of the world in your hands!
5 comments by Milanium on Oct 7th, 2012
OpenRA is a Libre/Free Real Time Strategy game engine supporting early Westwood games like Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert with emphasize on competitive network gameplay. Not only the interface is modernized. It also adds features from it's successors such as capturable oil derricks that generate income, bounties and a production queue system that prevents excessive spamming. All unit stats have been carefully updated to allow more interesting and fair matches.
The game is also highly moddable with an active community contributing content for your map or mod. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn is supported as a mod. Dune 2000 and Star Wars are work-in-progress. Visit the forums or hop in at #openra IRC chat to join the discussion. Fork us at Github.com
Have a look at the latest unstable playtest and provide feedback on the new units. Already included is the soviet flak truck and the demo truck might have a return, too. A remake of the best missions from the original campaign with co-op support is also showing some progress.

How to download that fantastic game?
I adore it well. I need it
Ra1 is related to C&C1: Tiberium dawn, and C&C2:Tiberian Sun but not by storyline,
Stalin's "Counslieor" is Joe D. Kucan, which is the actor that plays Kane, and Joe also is the director of Red alert...
This game was released in 1996. I wonder WHY Moddb has not added the First C&C. Command & Conquer 1 Tiberian Dawn......
this is one of the RTS from c&c.... other then its graphics, which were great for '98, if im right about the year anyway
but its very entertaining ^^
hey how do i download it i been trying all day i love this game a
how the hell does kane keep coming back hes on 1st one he gets killed by the ion cannon then tiberian sun now hes on the new one
is he sum sort of cyborg or summit
if u played cc tiberian sun firestorm...
oh right lol
how can i download it
Hey this is NOT C&C 2! C&C 2 is Tiberian Sun
Highest Rated (7 agree) 10/10
Love RA1! You can tell that the best of the best was put in for this game, despite its graphics compared to now. Then they were very good, plus the cmapaign had a great storyline no matter what, with that great question of "what if..."

The Student Council at Lake Stevens' Skyline Elementary School held a special fundraiser for the families that were hurt from the devastating mud-slide that occured just 6 weeks ago.
In just 11 days , April 7th through April 18th, students proudly reported that $877.72 was given to the Oso fund!
Student Council members at Skyline Elementary School are thankful to the children and families and staff members who contributed money to help the victims of the slide. Their generosity and willingness to help others is very appreciated, said several of the Council students.
Raising money and awareness is how our Skyline school community would like the people of Oso and Darrington to know that we care. We are sending positive thoughts during this very difficult and challenging time.

Mens PREMIER
Surrey United Firefighters extended their win streak by defeating Akal FC 5-1 at Newton Athletic Park on Wednesday evening and in securing the three points they narrowed the gap on the league leaders to just two points. After the initial early exchanges were fairly even Surrey United took the lead in the 25th minute when Rizal Ganief scored with a twice taken penalty shot after the Akal goalkeeper was adjudged to have moved too early on the initial kick. The goal was the inspiration that the defending champions needed as they started to find their stride and gradually took command of the game. They increased their lead in the 38th minute when Steve McAuley rose majestically to head home a superb corner-kick by Steve Kindel. With the insertion of Jeff Clarke at the interval it brought an extra dimension to the United play and ten minutes into the second frame Clarke's brilliant left wing cross found right full back Mason Webb streaking in from a deep position to head the ball home at the far post. Akal reduced the deficit in the 76th minute when a long ball caught the United defence off guard allowing the Akal striker to steer the ball past the advancing Drew Smiley. However, it only proved to be a consolation effort as five minutes later the Firefighters restored their three goal advantage when Angus Burke continued his recent fine goal-scoring form by racing into the box to head home a brilliant cross from substitute Cam Wilson who had created the opportunity with some clever dribbling skills down the right flank. Three minutes later Wilson went from provider to finisher when he added United's fifth with a low shot to the bottom corner after some great work by fellow substitute Andrew Proctor set-up the opportunity. United got some solid performances from their starters and their substitutes with their back line of looking very impressive in defence and with McAuley and Webb chipping in with goals to assist the attacking cause.
On Saturday the Surrey United Firefighters followed up their midweek victory with a very impressive 6-2 away victory over ICFS Inter at Burnaby Lake on Saturday to take their recent prolific goal-scoring record to 25 goals in their last six games. United opened the scoring in the 4th minute of the game when Rizal Ganief pounced on a loose clearance, cut inside the last defender and slotted a low shot into the corner of the net. The Firefighters increased their lead ten minutes later when Jeff Clarke sent Mason Webb racing down the right and his perfect low cross was slammed home from close range by league leading goal-scorer Angus Burke who recorded his 12th goal of the season. Inter reduced the deficit at the 20th minute when their striker cut inside from the left and curled a shot inside the post from the edge of the penalty area. However, Surrey replied with another goal in the 28th minute when Andrew Proctor at the near post deflected a brilliant Steve Kindel corner-kick into the net. Surrey was on the rampage and eight minutes later added a fourth when substitute Cam Wilson, who had come on for the injured Lucas Barrett, side-footed home a Proctor cross. Five minutes before the break Inter scored their second goal of the game when a direct free-kick eluded the clutches of Surrey United net-minder Drew Smiley. Any thoughts of a further Inter comeback were quickly eroded at the start of the second half when Ganief scored the goal of the game. He collected the ball just inside his own half and his speed and skill took him past three defenders as he burst through the middle of the defence and slotted home his second goal of the game and tenth of the season. United rounded out the scoring ten minutes from the end of the game when former Whitecaps skipper Jeff Clarke hammered home a powerful left foot shot from the top of the box following a neat give and go with Cam Wilson. United got solid performances all around and coped well in defence despite the absence of regular starters Stefan Leslie, Brad Peetom and Steve McAuley.
Mens Div A CAT
No scheduled game
Mens Div B CAT
Surrey United "C" played the top CAT"B" team, Westside F.C. "B" at C.A.P.#4, on a beautiful December afternoon. The rust for playing only 1 game in over a month showed at the beginning. United's passing was not crisp, but their defensive play was solid keeping the smart passing opposition outside the 18 taking only long shots. Then on a quick counter attack in the 9th minute United's Tyler Tieszen blitzed down the right wing hitting a low cross 12 yards in front of net, which was flicked on by Colin Grout into the path of a fast advancing Paul Moreau, who slammed a low drive into the bottom left side of the net, startling the visiting keeper. The visitors made a number of tic-tac passing plays and forced a number of shooting opportunities but were foiled by an extremely sharp Ben Baerg in United's Net. Baerg gave the appearance that he would not be beat on this day. Then at the 38:00 minute mark, with a similar move to the opening goal Corey Bergen charged down the left side past a couple of defenders then hit a low drive off an opposing player. The rebound came straight back to an onrushing Paul Moreau who's lovely shin pad drive dribbled past the keeper, just like a knuckle-ball would fool a batter in baseball. The game rolled into half time with United "C" up by 2-0. After the 2nd half started two key factors came into play, the Visitors went into overdrive and United's Juggernaut was beginning to run out of gas. Finally at the 59th Minute, the visitors reduced the deficit with a nice near post deflection. The game changed radically at the 70th minute when United's fine young Keeper Ben Baerg twisted his right knee on a collision with an opposing forward. Baerg had to be replaced by the dynamic Paul Moreau, who doubles as the back-up keeper. A very big shame, as both were having exceptional games, but hopes of preserving the lead took a turn for the worse as the bottom fell out of United's game-plan with multiple players cramping up. United sustained no fewer than 4 injuries and had to use up all of their substitutions. Westside scored at the 84th minute to tie the game and then grabbed the winner in the 90th minute with many United players barely able to walk, let alone challenge the visitors. An extremely disappointing result considering the huge effort put in by the young team who deserved to get something from the game. Player of the game was Paul Moreau for his two goals and also attempting to backstop United during the last 20 minutes.
Mens Masters
Surrey United Masters played Romanian FC on Friday night at Byrne Creek Turf in Burnaby. Romanian FC currently are in last position in the Masters Premier and it was important for Surrey to take full points from the match to stay in contention for a provincial cup spot.. Romanian FC started the game off by moving the ball around confidently and the match was fairly even over the first 20 minutes. Then the outcome of the game was influenced in the 21st minute when Romanian FC were awarded a penalty shot after a late tackle in the box from United's Shane Mummery. With Surrey goalkeeper Rick Gill's 6 foot 5 frame staring the Romanian FC striker down the kick went wide to keep the game knotted. This close encounter seemed to be a wake-up call for Surrey and they started to attack the oppositions back line with pace. In the 25th minute Darren Villars made a run down the right flank and was rewarded with a nice through ball from Kelly Bey. Villars proceeded to cross the ball into the 6 yard box where Arnie Meers finished with a one timer into the Romanian net. Moments later Surrey was awarded a direct free kick about 30 yards out on the right hand sand. Lee Sullivan whipped a hard cross into the box that ended up finding its way into the top corner to put United up by two. At the 40th minute mark, Sullivan scored his second of the game from just inside the half way mark when his skilful long range chip caught the Romanian goalie out of his net. The goal broke the backs of the Romanian resistance and the second half was all Surrey who created a number of scoring opportunities and added further goals from Mike Marini, Pete Hjorth, and Brent Roberts with the home team notching a consolation goal in the 6-1 United victory.

Daily iPhone app: MoonWalking
Here's some US $0.99 fun for your Monday. MoonWalking is an augmented reality app that superimposes famous scenes from the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in your backyard or a nearby park. You can watch the Eagle land, and walk up to it and around it as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin take their historic walk around the lunar surface. It lets you have Tranquility Base in your backyard.
To get started, you open the app and right away you will hear some of the actual audio from the landing, as the astronauts talk to mission control. You face north, and soon you will see the Eagle dropping into your neighborhood. Pushing the 'next' button takes you to Armstrong climbing down the ladder for his first step onto the moon. Another scene shows you the astronauts exploring the moon, and a final scene is the take off from the moon.
To make it work smoothly, your motions should be deliberate, giving the iPhone time to get your position right in relation to the augmented reality images. You can walk toward the lander or walk around it and see the perspective change. You can grab stills to save and forward to friends, or you can wipe out your local background and see the normal moonscape.
I enjoyed playing with the app, and turning my neighborhood into the scene of a historic event. One negative is that you can't save or share the video of the scenes, which is the best part of what this app does. The stills are fine, but having the videos would be even better.
I've captured some images you can check out in the gallery. MoonWalking is a clever app that combines some whimsy with the motion and position sensing features of the iPhone.
The app is universal, and runs on the iPad 2 as well as the iPhone 4 and 4S. It requires iOS 4.3 or later. Due to the size of the videos, the app is a 53 MB download. Moonwalking is A-OK. Saved videos would make it perfect.

The pad is made of a plastic that feels a little flimsy if you press on it as it bends down, however it looks like it is built well enough for the job.

Sports Fan Insider
VANCOUVER (WSCR) — The Chicago Blackhawks dropped the first game of their opening series with the Vancouver Canucks. While the two teams played a pretty even game the Blackhawks were clearly missing something fans have grown used to seeing.
In the two previous playoff meetings between the them, both won by the Blackhawks, Chicago consistently had a presence in front of the net that made it difficult for Roberto Luongo to get comfortable.
But that presence was nowhere to be found on Wednesday night.
"If you watched the Blackhawks all year," Blackhawks play-by-play announcer Pat Foley said on the Danny Mac Show. "Really, who are the guys that consistently do that? Yes, [Tomas] Kopecky, he went out (with an injury), [Troy] Brouwer, he's playing hurt but he did get around the net a little bit last night, and Brian Bickell is a big body, but generally he's not a guy who just goes to the top of the blue paint. Other than that, find me someone on this roster that consistently does that.

"It's not a team that's really built that way, it's something [Joel] Quenneville tries to stress all the time. But just [Wednesday] night, they were not very good in that department. And they just need to make [Luongo] a little less comfortable."

Steve Delfin and Joe Thomas Highlight Credit Union Outreach on CNN
FAIRFAX, Va. (5/12/09)—National Credit Union Foundation Executive Director Steve Delfin and Fairfax County Federal Credit Union President/CEO Joe Thomas are appearing daily on CNN Headline News' Cox Local Edition.
Delfin focuses on the importance of credit unions reaching emerging markets.
"Our role is to help credit unions better serve low-wealth, modest means households and working families," Delfin explained.
"This is work that's very important right now in our environment with what's happening in the financial services sector. And it's also important for the growth of credit unions – because in emerging markets like the Hispanic market, that's where credit unions are going to see their growth in the future."
Thomas focuses specifically on how Fairfax County Federal Credit Union is reaching the Hispanic market.
Thanks to a $99,900
NCUF Innovation Grant
, Thomas said "we've been able to increase our educational output and our products and services to increase savings (in the Hispanic community) and ultimately generate wealth for their local families."
One of the most popular products is "Safe Accounts" for immigrants who don't yet have a Social Security Number. "They're still required by the IRS to have a Taxpayer Identification Number," Thomas pointed out. "We've become now an agent for people to come to us, and we will be able to act on their behalf and get their Taxpayer Identification Number… We will submit the forms to IRS on their behalf."
Interview Airing Daily on CNN Headline News
CNN Headline News' interview with Delfin and Thomas began airing in full on May 5 and will continue to air seven times a week through July 5.
The cable television broadcast reaches 244,000 households each day throughout Fairfax County, home to diverse communities near Washington, DC.
Watch it Now on YouTube!
The video is posted on the
Cox YouTube channel
Credit Union Membership Growing
With the additional visibility and outreach made possible by its Innovation Grant, Fairfax County FCU projects that by year-end, Hispanics will account for as many as 25% of the credit union's new members.
Investing in Communities
Delfin concluded that as long as credit unions continue investing in the Community Investment Fund (CIF), NCUF will be able to continue funding programs that benefit credit unions and their members.
