Pavin set to defend Allianz Championship
Updated: February 7, 2013, 4:18 PM ET
Associated Press
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Corey Pavin never thought it would take him more than two seasons to get his first victory on the Champions Tour at last year's Allianz Championship.
It took a little magic for Pavin to break his 5½-year winless streak, and he remembers it well heading into Friday's first round.
Having rallied from a three-shot deficit to leader Mark Calcavecchia early on the back nine into a tie with five holes left, Pavin faced a dilemma on the par-3 14th hole at Broken ...

Fargo mayor distances himself from Bloomberg's gun control group
FARGO -- A pro-gun control group of mayors started by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has scheduled an event in Fargo on Monday, but Bloomberg himself is not expected to attend.
Neither is Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker, who said he's gotten nothing but flak from the tri-state area since announcing his membership in Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns group years ago.

Before I started taking the Apple TV apart, I decided it would be a nice idea to take a picture of the top of it. Isn't that nice?
From left on the old Apple TV -- AC adapter, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, Component Video, Stereo Audio, Optical Audio.
The adhesive double-sided tape they used sticks very well. Of course, it's been heat-welded for the past three years, too! Here you also see one of the Torx screws that hold the Apple TV together
This helped to peel back the rubber foot without tearing it. It looks worse than it was.
The bottom plate and hard drive rest as I rip into the remainder of the box.
Here I've ripped the HD out of the bottom plate and it's attached to my Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal HD Adapter. The other end plugged into an iMac USB port.
40GB ATA drive. No, I never upgraded it.
Here you can see the useless fan, with the Wi-Fi transceiver next to it. Note the cables that are connected to the metal case, using it as an antenna.
Would you believe that this power supply blocks about 25% of the air holes in the sides of the bottom plate? No wonder it was always hot!
At the top left you can see the single circuit board containing the IR receiver for the remote and the "on" light.
Yeah, I just ripped it off of there. That's some good adhesive they used...
The bottom plate and the inside of the rubber foot that covers it. I don't know why they even bothered to drill the holes in the plate, since they were blocked by the rubber foot and wouldn't have been useful for cooling.
The CR2032 removable 3V battery I talked about in the post can be seen here. Of course, you'd have to rip the Apple TV apart like I did to replace the battery.

Located around 90km south of our Sishen mine, the name means to dig deeper. Kolomela lump iron ore is in demand because of its excellent physical strength and high iron content. Kolomela is 73.9% owned by Kumba Iron Ore.
One of the world's largest iron ore projects, when it was developed. Minas-Rio – in Minas Gerais state in Brazil – is a fully integrated export iron ore operation, with the mine, beneficiation plant, 529km slurry pipeline and dedicated export facility at the port of Açu. We own 100% of Minas-Rio, with exception of the port facility, in which we own 50%.
Of all the metals that make modern life possible, steel is the most widely used – and iron ore is its main ingredient.
Iron ore is needed for train tracks and other types of infrastructure, which is one reason for the great demand from emerging economies such as China and Brazil.
But it's also used in medicine, cosmetics, engineering, construction, paint and a whole range of products we need for modern life.
Technology is demanding increasingly sophisticated forms of steel. Manganese is a vital component of stainless steel and many advanced alloys.

If my child has food allergies, what should I look for when reading food labels? - Alyson
If your child has a food allergy, carefully reading labels is one of the most important things you can do. Always avoid any food whose label says it contains your child's allergen.
And keep these tips in mind:

Then you have something wrong with your 2012 Nexus 7. Mine (WiFi model) takes I'd guess less than 4 hours to change, and can last days and days. More than a week sitting idle.
Make sure you're using the included high capacity charger, otherwise it will take a day to change.

20% of TUAW readers' MacBooks are discolored
Fortunately, there are signs that Apple has taken notice: the creator of StainedBook.info recently managed to get Apple to agree to replace the plastic on the top of his MacBook's casing. That's a big step, but I'm sure many MacBook owners won't fancy calling up Applecare every two weeks after their replacement starts showing stains again. Clearly, a more permanent solution is required.

Margazhi is also important due to the fact that the English New Year falls in this month and the month ends with Sankranti. Since our family lives in Tamil Nadu, we are lucky because we celebrate the English New Year, Ugadi (New Year celebrated in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra) and of course the Tamil New Year. On the new year's eve we find many rangolis big and small welcoming the new year. The words "Welcome 2013" or "Happy New Year 2013" will be written on the periphery of many Margazhi rangoli heralding the arrival of 2013. Margazhi ends with Sankranti celebrations. It is celebrated for four days in Tamil Nadu. The first day is Bhogi, 2nd day is Thai Pongal, 3rd day is Maattu Pongal and the 4th day is Kaanum Pongal . Apart from other festivities rangolis play a very important role in celebration of Sankranti or Pongal.
Butterfly rangoli with dots and free hand
The rangoli above is the first in our series ( I have not decided , how many) for New Year 2013 through Sankranti. It can be drawn free hand or with dots. The image above has been drawn without dots. It is a design with four butterflies and four flowers. The centre filled with pink and green patterns. The flowers have been filled with two shades of blue. The gaps have also have rangoli powder preserved by me after erasing a design (hence the different colour in the back ground.) The dot pattern is 13 dots to 1 dot, ner pulli. I have added the rangoli with dots. However I have drawn it with parallel lines instead of a single line version. It reduces the use of colour rangoli powder!. This version is also called double stroke kolam as two lines are drawn simultaneously.. Place the dots grid or template. Draw the butterflies and flowers first. Use the balance dots to get the image below. Add colours with lines parallel to the two parallel lines!. Rangoli designs with dots and those without dots are beautiful in their own way. So far as symmetry is concerned I think the level of difficulty is the same. The two images below show two intermediate stages of the butterfly rangoli to give a visual idea of how to proceed with this rangoli. If it is difficult to draw with parallel lines we can draw a single line design first.More rangoli with dots have been posted in simple kolam with dots collection and in pulli kolam designs. The first rangoli in this post and almost all rangolis in the previous post - Margazhi kolam collection demand a lot of filling up to be done with rangoli powder of various colours. Hence for a change, the rangoli below simple with very few colours, a simple rangoli or rangoli border for New Year 2013. Three simple floral designs are drawn and filled with colours as shown on the top of each one simple motifs are drawn.
Let us start with a kolam with dots for New Year 2013.
A video showing the steps from dot pattern to final design for the above rangoli. The dot grid or template 21-11.
Draw the claws of the scorpion ( 6 nos) and the pattern in pink. Then draw the central design and fill the remaining dots as shown in the video. Add colours as in the image above to get the design.
Other big rangolis with dots are elephants kolam with dots with 21 dot to 11 dot pattern
and pulli kolam with birds with 19 dots pattern available in Rangoli-kolam-sans-dots

Sankranthi rangoli
My mother was born and brought up in Vizianagaram a town near Vishakapattinam. She learnt a lot of rangolis from her mother seven decades back!. In Andhra Pradesh, Sankranti is an important festival. My mother says that they call it Peddha Pandaga in Telugu. The above rangoli with dots is an important Sankranti muggulus (for my mother ) drawn by my mother, taught by her mother (confusing isn't it). She says it is called Mandra Kappa ( Telugu for black scorpion - please correct me if I am wrong) because a part of the design resembles the claws of a scorpion. Though the design is simple as we use rhombuses only, it will take a lot of time (90 minutes approx) to complete it because it is a relatively big rangoli with dots. Two stages of the rangoli are shown. The the dot pattern is 21 dots to 11 dots (in between dots or idukku pulli).On the top a simple freehand rangoli with parallel lines but of two different colours for Margazhi kolams. (Margazhi is still not over!). The lines have been drawn simultaneously, as we do in plain rangolis with parallel lines but we have to use rangoli powder of two colours. It can be expanded with designs using white rangoli powder also. Two images showing the stages in drawing this rangoli
This rangoli above on the right drawn using the above method i.e drawing parallel lines with two colours. . Drawing a rangoli or kolam with parallel lines requires some practice. Drawing parallel lines with two different colours requires more practice. What is important is picking the colours and allowing the rangoli powder to flow through the fingers. Once it is achieved the lines as shown in the thumbnail above can be drawn. The colour combination including yellow makes suitable for festivals like Basant Panchami for which yellow is an important colour.
Kolam with sugarcane and Pongal pot
Pongal paanai kolam with dots
The following pics show how to draw a simple pongal kolam with paanai or pot and sugar cane for Pongal. This is a very popular theme for Pongal so I have chosen a simple kolam design the dot pattern in 8 to 3 - idukku pulli.
Pongal paanai kolam without dots
Thai Pongal is only a few days away. So, one freehand rangoli for this Pongal season, of course with Pongal pots and sugarcane! A free hand kolam design with four colourful pots. Bright colours are have used to fill up the pot design. Then bright yellow patterns have been drawn on the colourful background.My Facebook page is Rangoli sans dots. Please remember to like it.
While Pongal is celebrated with sweet Pongal prepared from newly harvested rice. Sankranti is celebrated with what is called Tilgul . Younger generation takes the blessings of the elders of the family by falling at their feet and they in turn offer them Tilgul and bless then.Festival - Ratha Sapthami
This festival is celebrated after Pongal or Sankranti on the seventh day (hence Sapthami ) in the bright phase of the moon. A free hand rangoli of a chariot with a single wheel representing the Sun is drawn on the floor or on a wooden plank usually with kaavi (red ochre ) paste. The chariot has a single wheel with a pennant or (dwaja ) at the top. A pictorial representation of the Sun is drawn inside the chariot. This probably signifies the beginning of the harvest season. Offerings include include Sakkara Pongal . Actually it was prepared by boiling milk on a a stove lit with dried cow dung cakes. The ingredients for Pongal are added after the milk boils. The stove is placed in the sun facing east. Presently this may be practically difficult in some places.
Rangoli or kolam designs with dots are there for 5 dots kolangal, 6 dots kolam and so on. The rangoli or kolam is one of the types or patterns usually with a repetitive motif I have used in many rangoli designs to get the chariot design for Ratha Sapthami. It is customary to draw only a single wheel for the chariot. A toran of mango leaves on the top, rangoli patterns representing banana plants are drawn with green colour. (Both these are considered auspicious and are invariably used in festivals and functions like weddings ). A pictorial representation of the sun is drawn at the centre of the chariot. A dwaja (flag or pennant ) is added to the top. Another important festival celebrating spring that is popular in northern parts of India is Basant Panchami.

Pathology of eosinophilic fasciitis and its relation to polymyositis.

Article: Histopathologic features of the L-tryptophan-related eosinophilia-myalgia (fasciitis) syndrome.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Study of 18 biopsy specimens in 11 patients with L-tryptophan-related eosinophiliamyalgia (fasciitis) syndrome showed hyaline sclerodermoid changes. Dermal scleroderma was found in eight of nine punch biopsy specimens and eight of nine excisional biopsy specimens. Fascial scleroderma was found in eight excisional biopsy specimens. One specimen obtained by excision had no fascia present. Eleven biopsy specimens showed edema of the dermis, and 13 showed dilated lymphatic structures; thus, the clinical picture of edematous sclerosis was confirmed. Mucinous fasciitis was present in five excisional biopsy specimens, in conjunction with a large number of macrophages in four. Dermal mucinosis was present in 11 biopsy specimens. Lymphocytic and macrophage inflammation was minimal in 14 biopsy specimens and pronounced in only 4. Plasma cells were present in eight cases. Eosinophils were present in substantial numbers in three biopsy specimens and only occasionally in four. Eosinophilic spongiosis was observed in one patient. Lymphocytic inflammation was noted around a single muscle spindle and around large nerve trunks in three patients. No relationship was established between these pathologic features and the duration or dose of tryptophan, prednisone treatment, or duration of symptoms. Pathologic features of the L-tryptophan syndrome consist of hyaline sclerodermoid collagen in the dermis, the septa, and the fascia. Edema, focal mucinosis, and macrophage inflammation may be features that identify this event.Mayo Clinic Proceedings 06/1991; 66(5):457-63. · 5.81 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inflammatory fibrotic disorders have been of high interest both for dermatologists and rheumatologists. Although the phenotypic end stage of this group of diseases is ultimately the same, namely fibrosis, patients present with different clinical features and are often treated with distinct therapeutic modalities. This review addresses whether there is evidence for different underlying molecular pathways in the various inflammatory fibrotic diseases such as localized scleroderma, pediatric lichen sclerosus, adult lichen sclerosus, eosinophilic fasciitis and systemic sclerosis. To investigate this, a large number of gene expression microarray studies performed on skin or fibroblasts from patients with these aforementioned diseases were described, (re-)analysed, and compared. As suspected by the heterogeneous phenotype, most diseases showed unique gene expression features. Intriguingly, a clear overlap was observed between adult and pediatric lichen sclerosus and localized scleroderma, in antigen processing and the interferon pathway. Delineating the cause and consequence of these pathways may generate novel tools to better characterize and more effectively treat these patients.Expert Review of Clinical Immunology 01/2014; · 3.34 Impact Factor

A round-up of this week's best discussions, discoveries, provocations, backlashes, calls to arms and all-out wars about film on the Internet.
- "I haven't seen Moneyball but can you make this more like Moneyball?" - A roundup of the best of @NetworkNotes, a Twitter account made up of actual script notes from TV execs that names names (or at least networks.)
- Speaking of execs, the anonymous Tweeter known as @MysteryExec wrote his first column for us this week, about taking risks and kicking Hollywood in the metaphorical crotch.
- "Binge-watching is the classy way of watching too much TV, the rebranding of a previously disdained activity that makes the sedentary life palatable to those people...who would once have foresworn it." Slate's Willa Paskin makes a compelling argument that binge watching is just a fancy word for what we used to call being a couch potato. (Ouch!)
- Vulture dredges up what critics thought of Christmas classic Love, Actually back when it came out ten years ago. They didn't love it, but surely they've been legally forced to accept its dominance since then like the rest of us.
- "And then I did a film that was a horrible experience, Great Expectations (1998). That is a film that I should have not done. I passed many times, and then I ended up saying yes for the wrong reasons." - Alfonso Cuaron says he regrets making Great Expectations in a Hollywood Reporter directors round table. (Lots of other great stuff in there, too.)
- Lena Dunham interviewed Mindy Kaling about a lot of things, but our favorite part was when Mindy Kaling explained why so many interviews with her focus on her gender: it's because it's the only thing journalists ask her about . :(
- PBS's POV blog has a post on everything you need to know about Impact Producers and what they do.
- 5 Classic Movies Made By People Who Wanted Them to Fail includes the tidbit that Roger Ebert's review of Three Kings called it "Some kind of weird masterpiece."
- 30 Great Movies You Probably Haven't Seen
- 10 Embarrassing Brushes With Celebrities
- Quora: Who Is Your Favorite Female Director and Why?
- Reddit: Can You Be a Cinematographer Without Going to Film School?
And finally, we leave you with the trailer for Heaven is For Real, starring Greg Kinnear as the father of a little boy who has been to heaven, and the town that this fact somehow threatens to ruin, coming to theaters Easter 2014. Sweet heartwarming family drama or the latest entry in the horror canon? You decide:

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm currently researching into how meaning has been embodied into typeface designs. I'm looking for typefaces which have an extensive and purposeful meaning behind their designs. Sufficient enough to write a thousand words about.
I need six case studies in total, so far I have Times New Roman, Capitolium, Johnston and Quantange. All of which I believe have enough existing research and theories into why and how they have been designed in the way they were. Ideally I need two more.
I posted a brief similar question to this many months back during my initial research phase. I was sent in the direction of Nick Shinn and Jeremy Tankard's work, and FUSE, and they all really helped a lot.
Just wondering if anyone knows any good examples to research? Or if there is any past posts that may help?
Many thanks
You could write five thousand words on my Nour&Patria. :-)
Its forms embody the struggle between globalization versus cultural preservation, the past versus the future, and looks versus reading.
I suspect that one could find "meaning" in the designs of, for example, Futura, Univers, and Optima, as I believe their creators wrote something about their intentions in creating those faces. There is a selection effect here, simply because in general the concept of meaning only has a limited applicability. (My knowledge is too limited to suggest more contemporary alternatives to you; these faces are so classic and well-known they may have already occurred to you.)
Thus, it would be more challenging to present the meaning of, say, Century Expanded, or Corona, or Goudy Old Style. People should be able to read it easily, it should print nicely on a rotary press, it should look nice and recall classic early typefaces people liked... that's not much in the way of "meaning".
Or how about "The letters should be the same widths as Helvetica so it can be used for preparing stuff to be printed on an HP Laserjet with that face, but it needs to be based on some other sans-serif face we can get the rights for cheaply"... the meaning of Arial ("some other sans-serif face" being Monotype Grotesque).
But not all typefaces sink to that level of ideational poverty, fortunately. Peignot, a famous playful typeface most popular in its bold weight, sought to challenge conventional upper and lower case, so it had more meaning in its intent than just looking cute and funny; that's another possibility.
(While Arial is a classic example of a "meaningless" typeface, even Comic Sans did have an intent behind it with meaning. And Papyrus, another love-to-hate typeface, had its meaning discussed back when it made its debut on the pages of the National Geographic. While I find Comic Sans to be nearly indefensible - it isn't "bad", it just gets used for too many things it isn't good for - I tend to defend Papyrus; it's overused simply because it fills a niche for which there is currently a desperate need; a typeface that is at once "exotic" and yet safe and politically correct. That may reflect problems in our society, but that's not the fault of the typeface.)
If you want to juice up your discussion you could include a typeface that is now politically incorrect, like Chinese Wong http://thescorpionsx.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/in-response-to-racist-marg...
more http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/06/20/is-your-business-font-racist/
You could write a book on this typeface.
Bodoni might be one to compare. There is plenty written about it but it having a particular meaning is up for grabs. It is often used for fashion material but that is after the fact.
Futura is another one that got lots of press.
And here, when I said people were using Papyrus a lot because there is a tendency to regard simulation typefaces as possibly offensive by today's standards, they laughed at me, saying that it was silly to think of simulation faces as racist, and therefore no one was doing so, except in my imagination!
I suppose this is getting too off-topic, but I personally do think it's silly to think of simulation faces as racist. They're cheap tricks and could therefor be considered offensive in that regard, but I don't understand what the whole Chop Suey controversy is about.
they laughed at me, saying that it was silly to think of simulation faces as racist, and therefore no one was doing so, except in my imagination!
I think you were justified in describing this issue, as in practice people apparently do think it's racist, but I often feel people don't really understand what racism actually is. Besides, people often seem to take offense for recreational reasons so I tend not to take it too seriously.
I think in a world without Papyrus and Chop Suey, we would have a need for Papyrus and Chop Suey. As such we might reinvent them despite being sensitive about political correctness.
I'm not sure if you're looking for meaning in roman typefaces or in typefaces in general, but I suspect you may find some typefaces within the blackletter style which embody meaning.
When you're done with your research, might be interesting to show samples of the fonts along with separate summaries of the meanings, and see if ordinary folks can match them up.

Samford Bulldogs (2-1)
@Auburn Tigers (0-2)
Friday, November 19
Auburn Arena
Attendance: None
Auburn, AL (Sports Network) - Josh Davis scored a game-high 30 points, shooting a sensational 8-of-10 behind the three-point line, as he led the Samford Bulldogs to a 79-68 win over the Auburn Tigers as part of the Global Sports Hoops Showcase at Auburn Arena.
Davis made good on 10-of-12 shots from the floor overall for the Bulldogs (2-1) in just 27 minutes of action. Also scoring in double figures was Josh Bedwell with 21 points as he converted 5-of-7 out on the perimeter.
Andre Malone accounted for a team-best 28 points for the Tigers (0-2) as he made good on 9-of-21 shooting from the floor, including 6-of-10 behind the three-point line as the lone double-digit scorer for the hosts.
Samford didn't make a single trip to the free-throw line in the first half, but it didn't matter as the squad hit on a sizzling 10-of-18 beyond the arc to claim a 38-32 lead at the break.
In the second half it was more of the same from the Bulldogs as they converted 8-of-15 out on the perimeter, en route to the 11-point win.
At 54.5 percent, the Bulldogs actually shot better from three-point range than Auburn did from the floor overall at just 42.4 percent.

Kate Moss sported striped bikini bottoms for a photo shoot in St. Barts yesterday. She posed on the sand and in the ocean, then sipped a can of Red Bull between takes. More costume changes were in store, with Kate donning a pink romper and yellow bikini top too.
Kate reported to work in the Caribbean after spending time with husband Jamie Hince in London earlier this week. The two were spotted shopping with their dog, Archie, and likely gearing up for the holidays. The past few months have been successful ones for the model.

There's nothing new about conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism
Only 15 per cent of the UK supports Israel's offensive. Are the rest anti-Semites?
I have arrived! On Tuesday morning at 7.55am, live on Radio 4, I said something so horrible that the usually mild-mannered husband of a fellow hack stood up and left his breakfast table in disgust.
Fortunately his wife, Emma Barnett, happens to be the women's editor of The Daily Telegraph, so by the next morning her diatribe against me duly appeared prominently in that august publication. It's only the second time in a career spanning 50 years I've been so honoured.
The day before, I had been contacted by the Today programme which wanted me to come on and discuss how British Jews feel about the events in Gaza. When I mentioned I was actually Israeli as well as British, the researcher said that was fine.
I climbed into the radio car which had been kindly sent around and Sarah Montague introduced Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner and myself. We were on air for around eight minutes.
To her credit, although the rabbi and I represented opposing views, Ms Barnett was equally rude and patronising about both of us. I was, she decided, speaking for "self-loathing Israelis". The nice lady rabbi was "worried-sounding" and "wringing her hands". There were no fisticuffs, no shouting, nobody died and nobody won. Scandalous.
Why I'm on the brink of burning my Israeli passport
Ayelet Shaked: My response to Mira Bar-Hillel
I repeated what I had written in The Independent around three days and 800 deaths earlier, when I first mentioned the possibility of burning my Israeli passport: the callous killing of women, children and babies in Gaza is Not In My Name. Barnett decided it was said "in a breathy, mock-dramatic tone".
Because the situation is not dramatic enough, Emma? And I don't really care?
I was speaking about Jewish colleagues who were silent on the Gaza issue. Some, I had been told, felt they could not speak up, as to oppose Israel would incur the wrath of the Jewish community within which they live.
I hurriedly explained (time was running out) that Jewish communities have massive control over their constituents in all matters involving family life and education. Upsetting them could be devastating, and I could well understand why people with strong community links and children in school would feel unwilling to expose themselves to this. I suggested that this power was being used to gag people.
This was the "breath-taking accusation" which caused Mr Barnett to rise from the table and his wife to condemn me for stating that I was not a member of the Jewish community.
Ms Barnett insists that, up and down this island, Jews are arguing, debating, crying and worrying about what's going on in "an even smaller country across the ocean".
I trust she means Israel, although the "ocean" thing made me wonder. Worse still, she said, British Jews are scared. No, not about being ostracised by their community but because of a rising tide of anti-Semitism, which she seemed to suggest I was causing.
Now this is a subject I know well, not least because centuries of genuine anti-Semitism allowed the Nazis to take so many of my family members away to their deaths.
Yet I have been labelled anti-Semitic so many times over the past few weeks that I'm beginning to think that perhaps I am. The most persistent has been (surprise, surprise!) ex-MP Louise Mensch.
Having abandoned her parliamentary seat, the troll-meistress now lives in New York, from where she still lectures us (via her Sun column) and the Americans too.
Ms Mensch insisted I admit to being anti-Semitic. Her Twitter profile says: "'War is always a defeat for humanity' – St John Paul II."
But not, it seems, when waged by Israel, in which case it is a fine and noble thing. But hating Ms Mensch does not, alas, qualify as anti-Semitism as she is a Catholic, although her second husband is Jewish. And when I asked her whether the definition of anti-Semitism had been extended to include anyone who dares criticise Israel, she went uncharacteristically quiet.
And there's the rub. Because, while my trolls are among many members of the Jewish community who would dearly love it to be so, it isn't. Not legally, anyway.
Last year I wrote in this newspaper about a tribunal case in March 2013 brought against the University and College Union (UCU) by a lecturer represented by Anthony Julius, Princess Diana's divorce lawyer. Mr Julius has a second career as a professional anti-anti-Semite, seeking to equate it with criticism of Israel. He has written a massive tome and gives frequent talks on the subject all over the world.
The case was that this lecturer's speeches at the UCU annual congress, in a debate over boycotting Israel, were not applauded (!) because of anti-Semitism on the part of fellow delegates. All 10 of his claims were thrown out by the tribunal. Its judgment said: "We greatly regret that the case was ever brought. At heart it represents an impermissible attempt to achieve a political end by litigious means".
Had Mr Julius won, open discussion of Israeli policies would have become virtually impossible, especially as sections of the Jewish community now openly use litigation to put people off criticising Israel – or them.
In spite of all this, and the viciousness of my trolls, a YouGov poll this week found that only 15 per cent of Britons support Israel's actions in Gaza. The credit for that goes to brilliant, brave reporters who have brought graphic images of the Gaza atrocities to our newspapers and television screens.
Jews with a sense of humour joke (among themselves, naturally) that anti-Semitism is "hating Jews more than is absolutely necessary". I believe that, not only is the tide turning against Israel's unrepentant aggression, but that the country has totally exhausted the sympathy it has enjoyed since the Holocaust and will be judged by all – apart from the US– on the basis of its sins in Gaza rather than the sins of the Nazis 80 years ago.
And finally … a word about my passport. My trolls have become fixated on it, offering me matches and suggesting I might like to put my "lardy arse" on the pyre to help it burn longer.
The answer is that, whatever I choose to do with my passport is irrelevant. What I will say is this: I will never go to Israel again while this regime is in place – and I cannot see that happening in my lifetime. I say this in great sorrow – but mainly in much, much anger.
And if that makes you choke on your cornflakes, so be it.

Local attorney, two businesses on TV
WINCHESTER — The community just got a little bit wilder.
A local attorney and a couple of businesses can be seen on a new reality television series called "Gypsy Sisters," set to premiere at 9 p.m. Sunday on TLC.
According to the show's website, the six-episode series centers on wild child Mellie Stanley — best known for her stripping and violent temper on "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding" — who returns with her "meddling sister Nettie, cousin Kayla, and loveable Laura for a raucous look at life as a gypsy in the wilds of West Virginia."
Christopher E. Collins — of Inger & Collins PC in Winchester (and a Frederick County supervisor) — is representing Mellie Stanley on a misdemeanor assault and battery appeal stemming from a July 3 incident.
According to court documents, Stanley hit a Piccadilly's Public House manager twice in the face after being asked to leave.
Stanley — who was tried and found guilty of the charge in Winchester General District Court — is appealing the charge in Winchester Circuit Court.
She was set to appear in the court Friday, but the case was continued until 9 a.m. Feb. 26.
Collins said Thursday that he was not hired with the expectation that he would be on the show, but was later asked if he would mind filming some of his and Stanley's interactions for the show.
"It was unique, very interesting," he said of his experience during filming for the show. "It's kind of neat to have the opportunity to show up on a national cable network."
Collins said he and Stanley were filmed at different locations talking about her court case.
"They brought in two camera crews," he said, adding that nearly a dozen people were in his office at one point.
No camera crews were allowed in court, however.
Collins called the show's crew and characters "very nice people" and said he had a lot of fun during the filming.
One of the locations was the Bonnie Blue Southern Market and Bakery.
Christian P. Schweiger, a partner at the business, called the experience interesting. "We've only been open a couple months, so it was exciting to be featured on a national TV show."
He added that he was glad they chose Bonnie Blue's because the building is historic — built in 1920 at 334 W. Boscawen St. — and he thinks it "really says Winchester."
"It did shine a light on us and we were happy for that," Schweiger said.
And perhaps a backdrop that viewers may see more often is the Blue Fox Billiards Bar and Grill at 1160 Millwood Pike (U.S. 50) east Winchester.
Owner Conrad Coffman said three production segments were filmed at the establishment.
He said crew members had visited the bar, had a great time and recommended it to the director.
"It's an aesthetically pleasing place," he said.
One of the scenes was shot in the bar area, where one of the show's characters was on a date, Coffman said, and another scene took place in the pool room, where entertainment for the group was provided.
Coffman said a "much more drama-filled" scene was shot at the bar.
He said he hopes to gain more patrons after the show airs, but that just being spotlighted in the show was special.
"It makes you feel good, makes you feel proud, not only of the place you built but of the staff," Coffman said.
Nicole Bamber, a publicist for TLC, said the series filmed extensively in the Winchester area. "Every Sunday night, there's an opportunity to see Winchester."
Bamber said Collins can be seen on the first episode this weekend.
Coffman said the Blue Fox date scenes are expected to be on episode two — which also premieres Sunday.
