Dubai Now Seeking 26 Suspects in Hamas Killing
February 28, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Raissa Kasolowsky and Cynthia Johnston
DUBAI (Reuters) – Dubai is hunting for at least 26 people over the killing of a Hamas commander in a Dubai hotel in a suspected Israeli operation that has caused a diplomatic furor.
Hamas military commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was killed last month in his hotel room in what Dubai police say they are near certain was a hit by Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Dubai police added 15 new names on Wednesday to a list of suspects wanted over the killing. Six carried British passports, three held Irish documents, three were Australian, and three French, the Dubai government said in a statement.
Israeli media reported on Wednesday the new list could involve further cases of identity theft.
Dubai authorities had earlier named 11 suspects, who they said travelled on fraudulent British, Irish, French and German passports to kill Mabhouh. Six were Britons living in Israel who deny involvement and say their identities were stolen.
"Dubai investigators are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of other people in the murder," the statement said.
The suspected killers' use of passports from countries including Britain and France has drawn criticism from the European Union. Some of the governments involved have summoned their Israeli ambassadors.
"We will not be silent on this matter. It is a matter of deep concern. It really goes to the integrity and fabric of the use of state documents, which passports are, for other purposes," Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said, as his government summoned Israel's ambassador.
The Dubai statement said: "Friendly governments (which) have been assisting in this investigation have indicated to the police in Dubai that the passports were issued in an illegal and fraudulent manner."
It said pictures on the passports did not correspond to their original owners.
In a statement on Monday that European diplomats said was intended as a rebuke to Israel, EU foreign ministers said that the assassination was "profoundly disturbing."
Israel has not denied or confirmed it played any role but its foreign minister said there was nothing to link it to the killing. The United States, Israel's main ally, has kept silent about the affair.
Mabhouh, born in the Gaza Strip, had lived in Syria since 1989 and Israeli and Palestinian sources have said he played a key role in smuggling Iranian-funded arms to militants in Gaza.
A Hamas official and Israel have also said he masterminded the capture and killing of two Israeli soldiers during a Palestinian uprising in the 1980s.
Like last week, Dubai police released passport photos and closed-circuit television footage of the new suspects, who police said arrived from cities including Zurich, Paris, Rome, Milan and Hong Kong.
"This was to take the camouflage and deception to its utmost level and to guarantee the avoidance of any security supervision or observation of their movements," the statement said.
Once their part in the operation was completed, the suspects again dispersed to different parts of the world, with two suspects leaving Dubai by boat for Iran, it said.
Dubai police also released credit card details of some of the suspects. At least 13 credit cards used to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel were issued by the same small U.S. lender, MetaBank. The bank declined comment.
"MetaBank is declining comment pending a factual review of this matter," it said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
Israel's Ynet news website said it had tracked down a person with the same name as one of the suspects living in Tel Aviv.
"I am in shock from what I just heard. This is an identity theft. I cannot believe it," Adam Marcus Korman, an Australian-born Israeli, told the website.
Several other names listed as suspects by Dubai police were similar to those of people listed in the Israeli telephone directory, including two named as British passport holders. Reuters was not immediately able to contact any of those people.
Two Palestinians suspected of providing logistical support were in detention and Dubai's police chief has said he believes the operation could not have been carried out without information from inside Hamas on Mabhouh's travel details.
An official from the movement was quoted as saying last week that Hamas had launched an investigation to try to discover "how the Mossad was able to carry out the operation.
Mossad is believed to have stepped up covert missions against Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia as well as Iran's nuclear project.
Mabhouh's killing was the third high profile murder in less than two years in trade and tourism hub Dubai, one of seven emirates in the UAE federation, where violent crime is rare.

Leonard Cohen & Anjani Perform1 Whither Thou Goest
While I had planned to upload the songs from Anjani's 31 March 2007 Warsaw Concert (See next section, Heck Of A Guy Coverage Of Anjani's Warsaw Concert for more information) yesterday, it took longer than expected for me to access the files.
Upon consideration, I've decided to now post only one musical offering, Whither Thou Goest. The other songs are, in my estimation, wonderful, but they are wonderful versions of tracks on the readily available Blue Alert album.
Whither Thou Goest, however, is not on any album2 although it was often used by Cohen,3 who sang it a capella with other band members, as a concluding benediction to many of the concerts of his 1988 and 1993 tours.4
A more tactical and pertinent motivation to post only this song is to avoid detracting attention from this piece.5 It is a quiet affirmation of affection and commitment which could be obscured by more dynamic productions – and it shouldn't have to compete in such an arena.6 The impact of "I love you deeply and will be with you wherever you go and whatever happens" is not enhanced by being shouted.
The lyrics of Whither Thou Goest are derived from Ruth 1:16-17, which is the brave and loving vow Ruth, a widow, makes to follow Naomi, who had been her mother-in-law, even though that meant leaving her own country and family.7 The King James Version of that scripture with Ruth's pledge follows:
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
This canticle, its intonations a particularly good fit with Cohen's voice and phrasings, has been resurrected for the current concert tour with Cohen joining Anjani on stage for this final song.
And, although Whither Thou Goest continues to serve as a farewell blessing to the audience, now it is also a strikingly tender and paradoxically intimate love song between the two musicians.
Leonard Cohen and Anjani – Whither Thou Goest
DrHGuy-Anjani Flirtation, Leonard Cohen Adulation , & Anjani's Warsaw Concert Coverage
The road to the Heck Of A Guy Warsaw Concert posts began last July when I wrote a heartfelt, adoring review of Blue Alert.
In addition to an erudite musicological analysis, that post also included references (also heartfelt and adoring as all get-out, if arguably tinged with a tad of smart-aleckedness) to the nature of the relationship between "Lenny & Anji," the similarity between my serendipitous discovery of the Blue Alert album and the blind date that led to the catastrophe known as my first marriage, and my fantasy of simultaneously bedding Anjani and two other female singers.8
I became a tad anxious when I noticed that the first comment to that post was from Anjani herself. As it turned out, however, Anjani, naturally enough, was smitten by my epistolary charm, and there ensued an cyber-exchange of bantering repartee, provocative challenges and parries, sexual innuendo, and general all-around snarkiness, in which Anjanikins gave as good as she got. The dramatic arc and the pertinent posts are described in Anjani And DrHGuy FAQ.
The second necessary element is the series of posts on Leonard Cohen I've sporadically published under the oddly appropriate Leonard Cohen category heading. Because the important material about his life and work was already obsessively covered by the uber-fans of the web-ring sites dedicated to Leonard Cohen, my blog entries have typically focused on isolated, tangential – or confabulated – points. Characteristic examples from this group include the use of Cohen's music in movies about strippers, the Dance Me To The End Of Love video starring Quentin Tarantino, Cohen singing Elvis's Rolls Royce and my personal favorite, 10 Fake Items About Leonard Cohen.
I had also written about my odyssey tracking down the rare recording of Cohen's Do I Have To Dance All Night, AKA The Best Leonard Cohen Song You've (Probably) Never Heard. That post attracted the attention and interest of Apolinary POlek, that self-same individual who was the Heck Of A Guy Polish Connection for this Concert (see below). Simple, eh?
Today's post is part of the sequence of Heck Of A Guy blog entries dealing with the Leonard Cohen Presents Anjani concert that took place at the Agnieszka Osiecka Studio in Warsaw, Poland on 31 March 2007 and was broadcast live on Trójka Radio. Apolinary POlek alerted readers to the availability of the broadcast and provided links to photos and a recording of the pre-concert interview with Anjani and Cohen on the Trójka Radio site; he has also graciously shared his recordings of the concert itself.

A Request
I would appreciate it if links to the Heck Of A Guy blog identified it by name and used the post's permalink rather than a tinyurl or some other modified URL. Alternative forms of gratitude and compensation, including cash, negotiable bonds, jewels, precious metals, free lawn care, home-cooked meals, and Italian villas are also acceptable, but offering appropriate credit seems simpler and would be fully satisfactory.
- Anjani and Anjani Thomas: An Aside On Names: Anjani and Anjani Thomas are, for the purposes of the Heck of a Guy blog, synonymous names, both of which refer to the exotically lovely, dulcet-voiced singer best known for her Blue Alert CD and her long-term relationship with Leonard Cohen. I include this clarification on posts about Anjani-Anjani Thomas in part for the purpose of what the folks at Wikipedia call disambiguation (i.e., to positively identify for the reader and remove any doubts the reader might have about which Anjani of all the possible Anjanis is being discussed) and in part to aid and abet the search engines. While a rose is, famously, a rose is a rose, a "tea rose," for example, is not exactly the same as a "rose" – especially to a search engine. Searches that include "Anjani" as part of the search terms may not produce the same results as the same search terms other with "Anjani Thomas" substituted for "Anjani." Should any other Anjani, say one who has not produced a CD called "Blue Alert" or one who has not been associated with Leonard Cohen for the decade, I promise to do my best to make that identification clear as well. [↩]
- The statistically accurate but confusingly non-absolute title of this post, The Best Leonard Cohen – Anjani Duet You've (Probably) Never Heard references the following: (1) Darn few of us have heard any Leonard Cohen – Anjani duets (Anjani singing backup doesn't count – because I say it doesn't count, that's why), (2) The song featured today has been performed as a Leonard Cohen – Anjani duet only in a few venues and before relatively small audiences (other than the 31 March 2007 performance which was broadcast on Polish radio), and (3) Most folks in those audiences are not likely to read the Heck Of A Guy blog unless they're slumming. [↩]
- This is a correction from the original post. I had thought Leonard Cohen had himself adapted "Whiter Thou Goest" from the referenced scripture in Ruth, but Apolinary POlek, who was my source for this material from the Warsaw concert astutely (and politely) points out that one Guy Singer wrote the lyrics and music in 1954. Among other sources, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whither_Thou_Goest. The correct attribution is made in concert song listing at Boston Performance. Most telling, the lyrics are almost exactly those sung by Cohen and Anjani – see Whither Thou Goest Lyrics. My apologies for the error and my thanks (again) to Apolinary POlek for the correction. [↩]
- The lines, "whither thou goest / I will go," are also found in the lyrics of Ballad of the Absent Mare [↩]
- The avoidance of distractions is also the rationale for placing the recap of the Concert's coverage in the second half of this post although logically, it might be less confusing if it were at the first. [↩]
- I suspect the dynamics intrinsic to a live performance maintain an audience's focus on the singers, especially for the official farewell song, making Whither Thou Goest an effective selection for a concert even though, as one of a group of recordings, without the involvement of senses other than hearing, it could easily be overlooked. This may, in fact, have been a factor in the decision not to include it on earlier albums. The feelings invoked by this song, however, are so intensified by the connection between Cohen and Anjani that it would be a significant loss were it not integrated into a future recording. Just a thought. [↩]
- Finally, my Old Testament Survey course I took at Oklahoma Christian College almost 40 years ago is starting to pay off [↩]
- The identities of the two other singers became a matter of negotiation between Anjani and me, shifting among permutations of Tanita Tikaram, Holly Cole, Tina Turner, and Joan Jett, among others. [↩]

Bulls' Taj Gibson out; Derrick Rose shows improvement
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com February 26, 2013 12:06PM
Chicago Bulls' Taj Gibson (22) shoots over Charlotte Bobcats' Brendan Haywood (33) during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Charlotte, N.C., Friday, Feb. 22, 2013. The Bulls won 105-75. (AP Photo/Chuck Burton)
Updated: February 26, 2013 9:41PM
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed that Taj Gibson did in fact suffer a sprained left knee in the Sunday night loss to the Thunder, and will miss at least two weeks. That means that Nazr Mohammed will be dusted off to help give Joakim Noah some rest, while Jimmy Butler and Vladimir Radmanovic, yes, that Vladimir Radmanovic, will see increased minutes in the four spot that Gibson helped occupy off the bench.
"That's part of an NBA season,'' Thibodeau said of the building list of injured players this season. "That's the challenge that's in front of us, to be ready. Whoever goes in, just get the job done. That's everyone's responsibility.''
On the Derrick Rose front, Thibodeau wouldn't budge on shedding light on where Rose is this week.
"Just daily improving, that's all,'' Thibodeau said, as Rose continued his rehab from May surgery to repair his torn left ACL.
With three home games this week, the feeling was that if there was a good time for the MVP to return it would be now, but there were no signs of that on Tuesday.
"I just go day-by-day,'' Thibodeau said of a return this week for his point guard. "I just want him to continue to improve, when he's ready, he's ready. His focus is on the rehab, our team is focused on their improvement and the opponent, and at some point hopefully he'll rejoin us.''
Although Nate Robinson is the latest Bulls player to show some excitement about what he's been seeing from Rose in practice.
"Every day,'' Robinson responded, when asked if he could see the improvement with Rose. "Every day he gets better and stronger, and hopefully he's on the path to come back whenever he's ready.''
Finally, Kirk Hinrich did practice with the team in the shootaround, and was a game-time decision against the Cavs tonight. If he sits out this game with that injured right elbow, it would be his fourth straight that he would miss, and his 11th game in their last 12.

This summer's program is covering four missions and seven sites in 30 days of free health care to some of our most underserved communities and citizens.
Beginning the second week of July, reserve branches of each of the Armed Forces will be dispatching to communities in six of the Delta states to provide general medical care, optical care and glasses, dental care, and veterinary services.
This will be the fourth year the DRA has hosted IRT health missions in the region.
Mississippi Deltans can utilize the program's services beginning July 14-26 in Clarksdale, Marks, Rosedale and Tunica, along with Helena/West Helena in Arkansas.
The site for the program in Rosedale is the West Bolivar Middle School, located on 1213 Main Street.
"This initiative honors the strength and determination of Mississippi families who want to improve their health and their lives," said Christopher Masingill, federal co-chairman of the Delta Regional Authority. "Not only are we continuing our commitment to these families, but we are providing a major shot in the arm to the region's health."
Amanda M. Richardson, DRA press secretary, said everyone is invited to make the most of this opportunity.
"The clinic is open to everyone and the military is a top notch unit who are looking forward to serving the people of the Mississippi Delta," said Richardson. "The first day of medical services will be very busy, but please don't get discouraged — they will see you as soon as they can and if they are full for the day when you get there, they will assign you to a new day and you will be seen on that day."
In the Delta region, 19.2 percent of the population under age 65 live without health insurance and thus do not have direct access to affordable, quality health care.
In order to support these residents, DRA coordinates IRT missions, which bring military medical professionals to communities in the region for up to two weeks to provide the needed services.
DRA is also partnering with the Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Small Business Administration and Enroll America during these missions to facilitate Affordable Care Act outreach and provide materials educating attendees on the forthcoming opportunity to enroll in health insurance exchanges in their respective state.
The Delta Regional Authority works to improve life for the 10 million people who reside in the 252 Delta counties and parishes in parts of eight states.

Penny's Low Fat Desserts totally rock my socks off. The company sent me a snack pack to try out the different varieties, and I don't think I have encountered any that I haven't liked yet! The Almond Poppy Seed, Carrot Raisin and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffin Tops are a MUST try for everyone. When it comes to the cookies, Penny's No Sugar Added Chocolate Truffle Cookie might be my favorite ... wait, or is it the Peanut Butter Cookies? Well, as I was thinking about this, I realized that Penny's has another product that was named after ME! Ha - I wish, but it does have my name, which means that Penny's Low Fat Desserts White Chocolate Cranberry (Emily's Medley) Cookie must be stupendously good!
I don't just eat cookies straight up all the time - how boring! If I'm going to eat a cookie, then there are a few different methods I use to ensure maximum satisfaction - I could toast it, microwave it or eat it straight from the freezer, and I wasn't sure which was the best way to enjoy this cookie. Naturally, this means I tested out each different method, and came to one not-surprising conclusion: the one thing that remained the same was the delicious flavor profile!
This cookie is chock-full of white chocolate chunks that remind me of a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie (my dad's favorite). Furthermore, the cranberries combine with the white chocolate and the soft and fluffy, yet dense oatmeal base to make for quite the party in your mouth. You can eat this cookie straight from the freezer for a dense and cool treat that is still soft and ready for you to dig right in. However, it is also delicious when you pop it out of the toaster and enable it to fully develop that "fresh-from-the-oven" taste. Oh yum .
Each huge 52 gram Penny's Low Fat Desserts White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie (Emily's Medley) provides 150 calories, 4% & 6% of the daily value for total and saturated fat, 6% of the DV for sodium, 7 grams of fiber (27% of the DV), 21 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein. A bit heavy on the grams of sugar, so this can only be an occasional treat for me - something I could have with special friends - it's also quite big too, so break one in half and share! The ingredients list starts with sugar (no surprise there) and includes whole wheat flour, erythritol & corn syrups (as additional sweeteners), dried cranberries, oats etc.
The price of Penny's Low Fat Desserts White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie $1.54 per cookie, which is a bit steep when compared to some in-store goodies, but once you sink your teeth into these treats, you will be more than willing to pay the $1.54 price tag, so that you too can relish in the goodness. I cannot wait until the seasonal, Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea comes out again, as I imagine these two will make a perfect pair. I have to rate this somewhere between 3.5 and 4, because although it's delicious, the price & amount of sugar are working against it - though the low fat & high fiber makes up for it a little.

The Tradition Continues
i bought this same wallet well over 25 years ago and had it for years. was thrilled when i saw the same style was still offered on the website--and even more thrilled when i saw the same attention to craft and quality materials was maintained all these years. the wallet is beautiful, sturdy, retains its shape and holds everything i need, though i don't use the coin compartment because i don't want to create 'dents' in it or add weight. i always get compliments on it.
in an era of cheap manufacturing processes and 'let's cut corners,' it's so satisfying to know that a company can hold true to the things that made it great. i trust bosca will hold true to their original vision for years to come and i look forward to any product line extensions they may offer, such as leather jackets or purses. i'd buy one in a second!

Leather does not hold up
I have had this wallet less than a year and it looks like I have had it ten. The leather has not held up at all. It is pitty looking, dull, and old looking. I have had wallets less than half the cost of this one and that have held up better and longer. Would not recommend if you like to have a nice presentable wallet.

Love lots about this leather checkbook clutch!
Finally found a leather checkbook clutch that has all the characteristics I have been looking years for: compact design re wallet and checkbook elements, plastic insert as part of checkbook that allows me to easily find latest entry, slot for ballpoint pen and plenty of slots for debit card, reward cards, library card, etc. And of course, the leather is lovely, takes on nicks and scratches that give the leather even more character!

"In the early days of my work in helping schools integrate technology, I remember how frustrated I was when I'd walk into a school and witness how devices were used. In so many classrooms, students would take what was written on loose leaf paper and type their work into a computer. Next, they'd print it out. The teacher would mark it up, and they'd type in the new version.
Excellent example of how to create useful projects and advertise the results with social media.

We often wonder what we can do to help students engage with the material so they can learn it at a deeper level. Students don't make that an easy task. They arrive in class having not read the material or having not thought about it in meaningful ways, and that keeps them from being engaged in class.
Several years ago, I read George Kuh's article "What Student Engagement Data Tell Us about College Readiness," in which he writes, "Students who talk about substantive matters with faculty and peers are challenged to perform at high levels, and receive frequent feedback on their performance typically get better grades, are more satisfied with college, and are more likely to persist" (Peer Review, January 1, 2007, p. 4; italics mine). Here are three ways I try to provide feedback that engages students and not overwhelm myself with grading tasks in the process.

What am I to do?
I encountered ANOTHER great man who doesn't have an annulment. Over the course of time I have been hurt by this. I try to remain friends until the said process is done. I asked this man about his marriage to try to discern the likelihood of an annulment even being granted. I asked him to ask his priest about it. Now after a lovely friendship has developed, he wont talk to me. Am I suppose to just NOT TALK to these folks? I don't want to hurt them any more than I want to be hurt. Please God help me as I walk through this mine field of the dating world! It als seems that the vast majority of the men in my area fall into this category. How sad.

Phoenix I
Destination: Orange Beach
Type: Condo/Villa

Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2
Something magical happens when you visit the Phoenix I on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The moment you arrive, the world starts to fade away. Maybe it's the sound of waves gently lapping the shore or the smell of coconut oil. Or, perhaps it's the white sand beaches and sparkling emerald water just steps away from your Orange Beach, Alabama vacation rental.
While our premier location offering access to and spectacular views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico are the main attraction, it is but one of many reasons to plan a Gulf Coast vacation at Phoenix I. Offering an alternative to the sand, the complex has an outdoor pool, an indoor pool and a children's pool with a sprinkler. Additional amenities such as a lighted tennis court and indoor racquetball courts, hot tubs and gazebos, a fitness room, and barbecue grills means there is plenty to keep busy and entertained without leaving the complex.
Guests deciding to get out and explore the area will find that shopping, dining and family entertainment are never more than a few minutes away. Plus, our location is convenient to additional activities and attractions such as water parks, golfing, fishing and boating, outlet malls and more.

After You've Tested PositivePart of Project Inform's "Attaining HIV Health and Wellness" Booklet Series
July 2011
Using This BookletThe main focus of this booklet is to let you know that you can live well with HIV. It may take some time for that message to sink in, because adjusting to this new life may be an emotional road on top of it being a physical one. But this information has been written to answer questions that many people have after testing positive. You're not alone, and with resources and effort you can live a healthful life with HIV. In these pages, you'll find topics that will help you understand more about your diagnosis. We highlight three key areas: knowledge (what's useful to know), health (what can be helpful to do), and self-advocacy (how to get what you need). When these three areas work well together, you get better outcomes. Getting informed about HIV, being actively involved in your health, and talking things out with your doctor and support network can result in a longer, healthier life. You don't have to figure all of this out at once. Read this booklet at your own pace and revisit it from time to time as you feel ready for more. We offer this information to help support, but not replace, the relationship with your doctor(s). How Is Today Different From Earlier in the Epidemic?Living with HIV today is very different from what it was like in the 80s or 90s. You may have some real fears such as being open about your HIV status, starting medicines or the prospect of living with HIV. These fears are normal, but some of them may be influenced by outdated information or by stories of what it was like living with HIV in the early years. Early in the epidemic, many people developed advanced disease well before they even knew they had HIV. They often found themselves going to an emergency room to be treated for illnesses like pneumonia. This is not the case for most people today. HIV is now sometimes considered a chronic disease, like diabetes or heart disease. This means it's something to be aware of and treat every day of your life, once you start taking meds. You will need to see a health provider about every 3 to 6 months. However, some aspects of HIV could make it more troublesome, such as not being able to be open about it to friends or family. Stigma, discrimination and even domestic violence are real concerns for many people. These social aspects can sometimes make it difficult for individuals to take care of themselves. HIV is certainly not a walk in the park, but many more support systems exist today and much more is known about how to treat it. HIV meds have dramatically improved and extended the lives of people living with the virus, and today's drugs are generally safer, better tolerated and easier to take. Plus, there are other steps you can take to prolong your life, improve your health, and help prevent other conditions. What Should You Do Now?You've already done a lot by learning your status and beginning to adjust to living healthfully with HIV. Your diagnosis can be a wake-up call to be more proactive about your health, develop a healthier lifestyle, and take advantage of treatment options. You likely have some time to consider the many aspects to this new development in your life. These include lining up various types of support, finding a doctor experienced in treating HIV, making decisions about treatment, and getting linked into local resources to help you maximize your well-being. Finding others who live with HIV, as well as case managers or social workers, can go a long way to support you in living well. Chances are that you're already on your way. Hopefully you've contacted a local organization or talked with the person who gave this booklet to you. If you haven't, we suggest you find local resources and people who can give you referrals to services that suit you best. Project Inform can also help at 1-866-448-4636.

For the third consecutive year, the first ship of the season bearing Chilean fruit has come to the U.S. port of Wilmington, Del.
Courtesy Port of WilmingtonChilean Ambassador Felipe Bulnes (left), and Delaware Governor Jack Markell welcome the first shipment of Chilean winter fruit to the U.S. on Pacific Seaways' Polarstream.The Polarstream, a Pacific Seaways's chartered refrigerated breakbulk vessel, arrived into Wilmington with Chilean fruit on Dec. 17, according to a news release from the port. The vessel carried nearly 6,600 pallets of table grapes, blueberries, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums, according to the release.
Chilean Ambassador Felipe Bulnes, Delaware Governor Jack Markell, Chile's Exporters Association (ASOEX) President Ronald Bown, Pacific Seaways Executive Director Francisco Labarca and Port officials were on hand at the arrival, according to the release.
"Delaware's seaport is the doorway through which Chilean fruit enters into North American homes this holiday season," Governor Jack Markell said in the release. "Our robust bilateral trade and long and strong friendship with Chile create many good jobs and stimulates the economies on both sides of the equator and we are working to continue growing it into the future."
The release said the port of Wilmington handled 15.9 million cases of Chilean fruit during the 2011-12 season. The economic effect of the fruit trade in Delaware is substantial, the release said, supporting 750 jobs and generating $40 million in personal income and $42 million in business revenue and $4 million in tax revenues for the state and region.
The Port of Wilmington anticipates a total of about 25 ship-calls from the Chilean ports of Valparaiso, Coquimbo and Caldera, according to the release.
U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics show that U.S. imports of Chilean fruit from November 2011 through October 2012 totaled $1.39 billion, including $609 million for grapes and $207 million for blueberries.

"Any kind of reduction in the inspection standards would be a critical concern for the industry," he said. Gilmer said Feb. 14.
Gilmer said the farm bill is on the back burner as Congress deals with budgetary issues.
"Lawmakers want to know the resources at their disposal before they authorize a new bill," he said.
As it stands now, Hoefner said sequestration will cut about $7 billion out the farm bill over 10 years, entirely from the commodity and conservation programs. Crop insurance won't be hurt by the cuts, the Obama administration has indicated.
The budget crisis could put the possibility of passing a five-year farm bill in doubt this year, with the farm bill extended on a year-to-year basis instead.
"This could be one small step at a time, and I think the one small step at a time during a period of deficit reduction will be one slice and dice at a time," Hoefner said.
"With the extension scenarios, you are essentially losing money with every extension," said Kam Quarles, director of legislative affairs for the Washington, D.C.-based McDermott Will & Emery law firm. "It is vastly preferable to create a five year contract with American agriculture through a completed bill."

This is the first time I saw the recolor version of a paper model template resulting a very much better than the original one. Yes It was a red Sinanju (Gundam) template, and then recolored and retouched by Suprayogi from Yogyakarta - Indonesia. You can download the templates at below, I already upload them part by part. You can use the original assembly instructions that also found on this website. Model on the picture was build by Haris Rakhman Hidayat from Malang. Haris made it using BC paper / plain paper 150 gram, PVA glue and a bit of CA glue and finished it with clear lacquer coat. Surprisingly Haris printed and build it by not following the original paper size, he printed on A6 size, half size of the original one (A4).

Interleague Play has kicked off in earnest, with the Rangers and the Giants facing off in San Francisco this weekend. It's been an interesting series, to say the least, with Texas taking Game 1 by a final of 5-0 and San Francisco winning today, 5-2. Last night also marked the Rangers first win ever at AT&T Park, in their twelfth game here. Personally, I credit that to our vastly peculiar weather (did you see the Rangers huddled up in jackets in their dugout, looking completely shell-shocked?), but it also could have been a voodoo curse or the fact that even Jon Daniels' magnificence takes a while to kick in and the Rangers, aside from the World Series, haven't played here all that recently. Maybe a voodoo curse is the most likely theory, after all.
Anyway, I am loving the matchup… AL vs. NL always is strange and fun (and no, the All Star game does not count) and that crazy game up in Seattle was another example of that. The Mariners, bless their most-hipster-city-in-the-nation hearts, no-hit the Dodgers, using a total of six pitchers. In San Francisco, there was nothing that wacky but that leadoff homer from Kinsler had my eyebrows a little lopsided and the fact that the Giants were shut out for the first time this year was also, probably, somewhat telling.
The other weird thing is just that, with a few exceptions, there seems to be much more goodwill to go around, during Interleague Play. Maybe it's that we won't play these people again, barring the World Series, but the fans and broadcasters both seem much more willing to compliment the opposing team. Seriously, there's been so much Ranger admiration flying in Giantsland that it is kind of making me suspicious. I mean, I love 'em too. Just not sure why Giants people seem so doting.
About that no-hitter, though, doesn't that seem like lots of fun? I mean, I'm sure for the starting pitcher who didn't get to finish it due to injury, it wasn't all that fun at all, but in general, no-hitters feel like a bit of a solitary achievement, even though the offense and defense are absolutely involved. I think as a fan, seeing the whole bullpen come together to pull that off would be quite marvelous. I can't get into the heads of the (hipster) Mariners fan, so I can't be sure, but that was my thought.
Overall, I think the Giants seem to be coming into their own, in a peculiar way. The loss of Melky Cabrera for this series is a painful one, but Pablo's return is so smile-worth it is not even funny. The pitching is really as stellar as it's supposed to be and the offense is beginning to step up.
They're now 4 back from the first-place Dodgers (scoreboard watching? Heck yes.), who played again in Seattle tonight and won. The rubbermatch is tomorrow. Let's have a resounding, "Go Mariners!" can we?!
Diamond Girl
p.s. Can the Josh Hamilton drug jokes please die? Hamilton is a grown man and he did what he did. From what I've read, he takes the jokes and the criticism alike in stride, but that doesn't mean we should all do it. The people in front of me at the Coliseum the other day had a running stream of them and during this Giants series, it's been the same way. What's so very funny about recovering from drug addiction is foreign to me, not to mention, the whole taking-the-high-road thing. Hamilton is a really, truly brilliant athlete and ballplayer and probably the best hitter in the in the game this year. I would be more than happy to talk about that.

Join the call for all college & university presidents to divest from fossil fuels and move to 100% clean energy.
Groups across the country are organizing to make their campuses leaders in the fight against climate change.
Add your campus!
It's been an incredible couple weeks of victories for the divestment movement!
Hot on the heels of the Fossil Fuel Divestment Convergence 2014 at San Francisco State University, our momentum is exploding as students pledge to dig deep, link up, and take action.
At the 2014 Fossil Fuel Divestment Convergence, students renewed their pledge to dig deep, link up, and take action.
Written by Daniel Adel and originally posted in the Earth Island Journal
By Julia Ho, Emily Alves, Megan Odenthal, Jamal Sadrud-Din, and Georgia McCandlish
At 11am on Saturday morning, 5 student representatives from the sit-in against Peabody entered a conference room in Brookings Hall to meet with Chancellor Wrighton. Forty-five minutes later, we emerged from the meeting with an increased sense of resolve and passion to a crowd of 50 supporters.
The meeting, which occurred on Day 5 of the sit-in, came just a day after 'Students Against Peabody' publicly revealed their demands. In the meeting with Chancellor Wrighton, we articulated our demands: 1. Remove CEO Greg Boyce and Peabody from the Board of Trustees 2. The Chancellor must attend community-organized tours of Peabody extraction zones and issue a public statement about his experiences 3. Increased student voice on the board of trustees.
I've learned many things in my four years at Washington University in St. Louis--not all of them in the classroom. For example, before I became a student at Wash U, I had never heard of Peabody Energy, the world's largest private sector coal corporation.
In St. Louis, Peabody ingratiates itself to the local community by posing as a benefactor of the arts, charitable corporate 'citizen,' and hero tackling "energy poverty." It all sounds pretty good until you realize that Peabody Energy is the world's largest private sector coal corporation whose business model propagates climate change and destroys communities. Peabody's list of crimes is a veritable laundry list of social and environmental injustices: the destruction of mountains in West Virginia, the forced relocation of Navajo and Hopi Indian tribes in Black Mesa, Arizona, being a major supporter of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which have been strong advocates of controversial legislation like "Stand Your Ground" laws, the destruction of Rocky Branch, Illinois through aggressive mining and logging, and the distortion of democracy here in St. Louis by striking down a city-wide ballot initiative.
In just three months, St. Louis, the hometown of five coal companies could also be home to the divestment movement's next big victory. St. Louis is also my hometown, and for over a year now, I've been working on the citywide divestment campaign, called Take Back St. Louis. The Take Back St. Louis initiative will change the city charter to end incentives to fossil fuel companies and instead invest money in and open city-owned land for renewable energy and sustainability initiatives.
When I started at the University of Maryland this past semester I joined the campaign to divest my university from fossil fuels as well. I am part of the fossil fuel divestment movement because divestment is an important tactic to make the fossil fuel industry's public reputation as toxic as their business practices. Once doing business with the fossil fuel industry is seen as morally unconscionable it's unlikely the industry will be able to continue buying off enough public officials to keep itself in existence.
Many of us have found out through divestment campaigns just how engrained the fossil fuel industry is on our campuses. Despite overwhelming support among students, university presidents and administrations have resisted our demands, caving to the power of fossil fuels.
