As Purim approaches, thousands of Israeli children and families grapple with poverty
For months, International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge has dismissed calls for a moment of silence at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics to mark the 40th anniversary of the murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
On Monday, in advance of this Friday's opening ceremony, Mr. Rogge did preside over a previously unannounced tribute attended by several Olympic administrative officials.
But not only was this an insult to the memory of the slain Israelis, it underscored Mr. Rogge's utter failure to grasp that the murders were not only about the Israeli victims but about the Olympics itself.
Since the days of ancient Greece, the Olympics have been characterized by a general truce that interrupted whatever wars were being fought at the time. This was to enable athletes and visitors to travel unimpeded to the games and ensure that the games themselves would be conducted free of violence. We don't always have good things to say about UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, but a statement he released last week put it best:
The tradition of an Olympic truce began in ancient times to allow safe passage for athletes traveling to the games. This resulted in an environment where the true spirit of the Olympic Games was on display: peaceful competition among nations, feats of individual excellence.
Today, sports and events such as the Olympic and Paralympic games break down barriers by bringing together people from all around the world and all walks of life. The participants may carry the flags of many nations, but they come together under the shared banner of equality and fair play, understanding and mutual respect.
We give meaning to these values through the Olympic truce, the call for warring parties everywhere to lay down their weapons during the games. These pauses in fighting save lives. They help humanitarian workers reach people in need. And they opened diplomatic space to negotiate lasting solutions.
The Olympic truce – and more broadly the Olympic ideal – carries a powerful message: that people and nations can set aside their differences and live and work together in harmony. And if they can do it for one day, over one event, they can do it forever. This is the dream on which the United Nations is built, and the goal of our daily work.
I call on all those engaged in hostilities to respect the Truce – which has been endorsed by all 193 UN member states. This is an uphill battle – but we must persist in proclaiming the Truce and do our utmost to win adherence to it. For these next few weeks may the torch of the Olympic and Paralympic games in London serve as a beacon of peace around the world.
Consider what happened in Munich on September 5, 1972, the 11th day of the Olympiad. At 4:30 a.m., several Palestinian terrorists made their way past security and, armed with hand grenades and Kalashnikovs, entered two Israeli team apartments. They killed two Israelis and took nine hostage. The hostages were later killed by the terrorists in the course of a failed rescue effort.
The massacre clearly struck at the essence of the Olympic concept. So why would Mr. Rogge and the IOC resist marking this enormous negation of it? There were various reasons given that revolved around the notion that the games are "apolitical" and that every effort is made to avoid "political issues" and embarrassing participating (i.e., Arab) states.
Political issues? Noting the cold-blooded murder of eleven human beings is a political statement? That only follows if the murders themselves were deemed political statements. Is that Mr. Rogge's point after all?
In a sense this reminds us of the recent meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The secretary was pitching a resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and among other things was urging Mr. Netanyahu to meet PA President Mahmoud Abbas's demand that Palestinians incarcerated in Israeli jails for terrorist acts committed prior to the Oslo Accords be released. The theory seems to be that before Oslo, the murder of Jews was properly viewed as an act of resistance by a freedom fighter. Post-Oslo, however, such a form of resistance was criminalized.
It is bad enough that Israel is being pressured to deal with a person of Mr. Abbas's ilk who thinks that way. How is it, though, that an American secretary of state can embrace this distinction?
Mr. Rogge's scaled down commemoration is not only a non-event, it is a profound insult. And so is Hillary Clinton's touting Mr. Abbas's obscene distinction.

Values at the very heart of the UN are threatened by extremist ideologies targeting our way of life
Anti-Semitism today focuses on Israel and the quest to delegitimize it.
Any Jew who ties his fate to Israel should be able to vote in Israel's elections-even before aliyah
There were no airs about him. Rav Moshe was affectionately known as the Gaon of Normalcy.
Israel's full sovereignty over a united Jerusalem is the only path for true peace in the region.
Just like Moses and Aaron, Mordechai decides to ruin the party…
The president has made clear – I can't state this more firmly – the policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon.
Obama has an apparent inability to understand Islam in particular and Mid-East culture in general
Pesach is a Torah-based holiday whose fundamental observances are rooted in Torah law; Purim is a rabbinic holiday whose laws and customs are grounded in the rabbinic tradition.
In honor of Prime Minister Netanyahu's successful speech before Congress.
Mr. Spock conveys a message with painfully stark relevance to our world today, especially in the context of PM Netanyahu's speech to Congress.
Obama created the "partisan politics" by asking Dem. party members to avoid Bibi and his address
Enough is enough. The Jewish community has a big tent, but the NIF should have no place in it.
I vote for the right and get left-wing policy. Every. Frigging. Time.
The real issue is that in many respects the president has sought to recalibrate American values and our system of government.
Former Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman, writing in the Washington Post on Sunday, provided one of the clearest and most compelling analyses we've seen of the importance of the prime minister's speech.
Gone are the days when an anchorman sitting in a New York studio could, after sharing 22 minutes of carefully selected and edited news items, trumpet in stentorian tones, "And that's the way it is." No it wasn't. It never was.
President Obama has frequently cautioned that Americans should take great care to avoid fomenting anti-Muslim passions in our reaction to the murderous activities regularly being perpetrated by terrorists in the name of Islam. One wonders why, though, he seems to have no concern with the potential for anti-Semitic fallout from his full-court press against Israeli […]
Typical of the administration's milquetoast approach is the lack of any call for a substantial increase in military resources in order to crush ISIL, only a tepid mention of the need to "ultimately defeat" it.
He spent the first leg of his daylong visit to the French capital at Hyper Cacher.
In this particular case, the issue was whether the Arkansas prison system could prohibit, for security reasons, a devout Muslim's maintaining a beard of a certain length as a matter of religious practice.
According to Natan Sharansky, director of the Jewish Agency for Israel, France was the largest source of Jewish emigration to Israel last year and he believes as many as 15,000 French Jews may make aliyah in 2015.

Glow Rod Restoration
This restoration is the first mod I have ever released to the KotOR modding community, but don't let that fool you. It restores an item/weapon that was dummied out of the game, complete with custom item properties, the ability to give off light, and an in-game location where it can be found. It's not much, but I hope you all enjoy it in any case.

Others learn to sing while they're young — just like humans, who must learn to speak. It turns out that vocal learning in songbirds and humans may have more in common than anyone suspected. Recent DNA research reveals that songbirds and humans share a set of roughly 50 genes that appear crucial to vocal learning. And it's possible that because scientists now understand the genetic similarities between speech and birdsong learning, they can use that insight to study human speech acquisition in new ways. BirdNote: An Avian Big Bang By Aaron Hushagen • Mar 2, 2015 Johnx1 - FreakingNews.com Listen Listening... / 1:45 BirdNote Many scientists believe that the demise of the dinosaurs began when an asteroid struck the earth 66 million years ago. Some dinosaurs survived, and among them were the early ancestors of birds. Recently an international research team sequenced the genomes of 45 birds of diverse lineages. The results revealed a surprising discovery: the common ancestor of today's birds — among them warblers, parrots, woodpeckers, falcons, and owls — was a top-of-the-food-chain carnivore! This "bird," however, is a flight of fancy, courtesy of FreakingNews.com. Fishing Rights Between Olympic Peninsula Tribes At Stake in U.S Court By Bellamy Pailthorp • Mar 2, 2015 A federal court will hear oral arguments Monday in Seattle, in a case that pits the United States against the State of Washington. It has to do with who gets to take how much fish. U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez has set aside 3 weeks in his calendar to hear issues involved. Three tribes are mentioned in the current litigation: the Makah, the Quileute and the Quinault Indian Nations. They're fighting with each other. Listen: What Can Happen When A Teacher Convinces Her Students To Be Brave By Kyle Stokes • Mar 2, 2015 Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times She may be an accomplished public speaker, but Bellevue teacher Kristin Leong says she's still "secretly super introverted." Getting comfortable with public performance, she tells her students, is about "faking it 'til you make it." But Leong says she starts every year in her middle school humanities classes at the International School in Bellevue with the same promise to her students: 'all of them will be performers this year.' Will The Same High School Student Do Better In Life As 'Johnny' Or 'Amari'? By Andrea Soroko • Mar 2, 2015 Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times Editor's note: Andrea Soroko teaches English at Seattle's Garfield High School. This post has been adapted from a story she told during a recent Seattle Times storytelling event, "Why I Teach." The Seattle Times' Education Lab project put on the event in partnership with KPLU and the UW College of Education. The names of the students Soroko mentions have been changed. I have a student named "Johnny." "Johnny" does well in school. "Johnny" completes his homework on time. "Johnny" is a good football player. My student, "Johnny," has a dream. It's a dream many of us share — the American Dream. He dreams of a family, a house, a car. The world is his oyster and Johnny is not afraid to dream big. UW School Of Law To Start Clinic For Worker Rights By Paula Wissel • Mar 2, 2015 Listen Listening... / 1:27 Worker rights advocates say it's great that Washington is considering raising the minimum wage and that several cities have already passed higher wage and paid sick leave laws.

BirdNote: Regal Great Blue Heron By BirdNote • Feb 28, 2015 Tom Grey Listen Listening... / 1:45 BirdNote Tall and prehistoric-looking, the Great Blue Heron is the largest heron in North America. Great Blue Herons are often seen flying high overhead with slow wing-beats. When foraging, they stand silently along riverbanks, on lake shores, or in wet meadows. Quickly then, they stab at their prey. Although usually found in or near water, Great Blue Herons nest high in trees, with several nests in a colony.

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
Bordered by the tors and moors of Bodmin, this roomy lakeside campsite at Siblyback Lake Country Park offers a good range of water and land-based activities for all ages and abilities.
Visitors can hire out windsurfers, rowing boats, kayaks and sailing dinghies (or bring their own), and there are friendly instructors on site for tuition, if needed. A new cable wakeboarding system, the only clockwise system in the UK, has also been installed recently. For two-wheelers, a pretty three-mile cycle path snakes around the lake to make the best of the wonderful views, and is also fully accessible to wheelchair users.
The tranquil lake by Siblyback Lake Campsite offers excellent walking and birdwatching, and is renowned among fly fishermen thanks to its teeming trout. It's a Trout Master fishery, which means that if you catch a whopper it'll be entered into the eponymous nationwide competition; see if you can beat Siblyback's current record of a 10lb 8oz rainbow trout. Even if you don't net the big one, you should still manage a decent catch: recent years have seen rod averages of three fish per angler. Fishing permits (available on site; fly fishing only) are required for everyone over 12 years of age.
Little monkeys will enjoy the high ropes course, archery and water-zorbing balls. The site also features two play areas for toddlers and older children, as well as a pleasant lakeside café serving snacks, light meals and the understandably ubiquitous Cornish cream tea.

The Lux Park Leisure Centre close to Siblyback has a good pool and offers a range of exercise classes.
Atmospheric Bodmin is the highest and most sparsely populated area of Cornwall, a land of myth and mystery. Close to Siblyback are Dozmary Pool, alleged to be the final resting place of King Arthur's Excalibur, and the moody Hurlers, three stone circles reputedly formed when a group of men who dared to play games on the Sabbath Day were turned to stone. You'll find the highest pub in Cornwall in the neighbouring village of Minions. Also worth a look is Cheeswring, an improbably precarious tower of balancing rock said to have been created by warring giants and saints.
If you're interested in the more recent history of the area, visit the China Clay Heritage Centre at Wheal Martyn for an insight into what was once one of Cornwall's biggest industries.
Other potential trips include a tour of the global greenery under the massive domes of the Eden Project, which lays on special activities for kids in the summer holidays, including circus skills, den building and water play; the seaside resort of Looe, which is actually two towns in one, linked by a bridge over an inlet where you can watch the fishing boats bring in their catch; and the quaint, if touristy, fishing village of Polperro, where cars are banned from the narrow streets, although you can catch a horse drawn carriage to reach the pretty harbour.
As well as the many great beaches nearby, children will enjoy a day at Crealy Adventure Park meeting the animals, scrambling around the play areas, and being spun around and splashed about on the exciting rides.

SportsNation Blog Archives Chris Paul
What to make of Western Conf.?
A week after the now-infamous Matt Barnes-Serge Ibaka scuffle and aftermath, the Oklahoma City Thunder exacted revenge against the Los Angeles Clippers. Thanks to Kevin Durant's 28 points and Ibaka's 17 (on 8-of-10 shooting), OKC beat the Chris Paul-led Clippers 105-91. This leaves the Clippers (8-5) closer to the ninth spot in the Western Conference than the first, while keeping the Thunder (8-3) in third, two games back of the soaring San Antonio Spurs. In second? The surprising Portland Trail Blazers (10-2). What do we make of the early developments out West?
Noah Graham/NBAE/Getty Images
Will Clippers win post-'Lob City'?
"Lob City" is dead. Long live ... "Doc City"? Whatever you call it, it the Los Angeles Clippers need a new nickname, as Blake Griffin said new coach Doc Rivers is putting an end to the beloved (and short-lived) moniker. Not that Clips fans will be too distressed; with a championship-winning coach replacing Vinny Del Negro -- and a shored-up bench offering a new dynamic to a team that won 56 games a season ago but exited in the first round of the playoffs -- things are looking brighter than ever on the "other" side of Staples Center.
Clippers' hopes rest on ... Griffin?
The Clippers traded for Chris Paul in December of 2011 with hopes that he and Blake Griffin will help the team become championship contenders. They took one step closer to their ultimate goal with playoff runs in the past two seasons, but have failed to make it past the second round. Paul now believes the key to the franchise's title hopes lies with Griffin, as the team "definitely goes as Blake goes." Will the Clippers ever win a NBA championship with Paul and Griffin as their main players?

While NewsBusters really doesn't target op-eds, especially ones that are printed in the New York Times, egregiously absurd arguments merit exposure and ridicule. Enter Frank Bruni's August 14 column, wherein the Times scribe discussed how our culture facilitates the objectification of women.
Curiously, Bruni buried longtime Democratic politician Bob Filner, who saw women as objects he could grope, towards the end of his column. The decay occurring in our popular culture is a valid point Bruni makes, but he hurtled off the rails when he had this to say about ultrasound laws:

This outdated belief stems from that assumption that SSO provides a single set of keys to the kingdom, and that once those keys are in the wrong hands, then all applications will be at risk. But the truth is that when used properly, SSO actually increases security by enabling more complex authentication policies, randomizing passwords, enabling re-authentication within an application as needed.
In addition, SSO solves one of the biggest, long-standing and most intractable problems of security: leaving password management in the end users hands. Everyone knows that having strong, unique and regularly-changed passwords (that are not all written down in one place) is important for maintaining basic security of end user accounts. However, whether we are talking about work or personal accounts, as we all know that these best practices are seldom followed by end users without some form of enforcement mechanism from IT. A SSO solution requires users to remember one, secure password for everything they access, rather than forcing them to have many similar passwords (which will often be much weaker.)
Myth #4: SSO is only for internal users, not public-facing services
This last misconception deals with much more recent trends in IT, and requires a more thorough response.
As we discussed earlier in this article, SSO allows you increased efficiency in management, security and the ability to grant users access to online services. As organizations start to deepen their interactions with their customers or users, then they want to provide online access to services which are more personalized. One approach is to use the concept of social identity. This approach uses existing online identities, such as those created with services like Facebook or LinkedIn, and allows the same identity to be used to access a business or government entitys services.
Social identity allows organizations to engage with users with the least amount of friction, at the lowest cost, and with minimal management burden. It also allows a business to grant more access to more people with less overhead and management headache, and therefore, provides an organization with SSO functionality to access public-facing web services. Therefore, SSO and social identity are complementary concepts that organizations can use to enable frictionless access to anything, from anywhere from any device, based upon an individuals identity.
BYOI and the way forward
When we look at how things are evolving and changing with the consumerization of IT, it is likely that we are going to have to continue to assess how to utilize both SSO and social identity frameworks support business objectives.
We want to achieve verifiable identity based upon unique identities, within the given context of what those identities are seeking to access, from where, when and with what device. Therefore, social identity may provide the first step in authenticating an individual, but would need to be part of a process of secure and scalable authentication.
It may be that it is all that is required to access some services, or be part of a multi-factor authentication approach to really verify identity in order to access other, more sensitive data.
As social identity becomes more ubiquitous, we are already entering the era of Bring Your Own Identity (BYOI), where user identity is decoupled from traditional control, while businesses have the ability to rapidly provision, deprovision and manage individual access of data across public and private cloud services.

Bussola Valpolicella Classico Superiore Tb 2009
- Veneto
- Italy
- Valpolicella
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
Corvina varietal grapes have been grown in Italy for well over a thousand years, and are most closely associated with the coastal region of Veneto, where they are used to fantastic effect in the finest wines of the region. Most notably, Corvina grapes are used as a primary varietal in the blended Amarone and Valpolicella wines two aged wines which make the most of the potential Corvina has for maturation. The rather high acidity levels in Corvina grapes make them an excellent candidate for aging, as the acids mellow over time and reveal their wonderfully complex and deep flavors of sour cherries and almonds. The thick skins of the Corvina grapes result in a bright crimson wine, and the skins themselves have relatively low tannin levels, making these wines very drinkable and delightfully light in body.
Veneto's wine are much loved around the world for their strength of character, and the region itself is an interesting one from a viticultural perspective. Sheltered by the Alps, Veneto is protected by the harsh central European climate, making it possible to grow a wide range of high quality grape varietals, which wineries manage to do to great effect. This beautiful corner of north-eastern Italy has over ninety thousand hectares under vine, with over a third of this area having the prestigious DOC rating awarded to it by the Italian government. Veneto is Italy's second largest producer of wines, and their dedication to quality and innovation brings about a fantastic range of wine styles, enjoyed around the world for their flavors, aromas and distinctive character.
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

5 Earnings Stocks That Could Surge
One more earnings short-squeeze play is Salesforce.com (CRM - Get Report), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. This company is a provider of enterprise cloud computing applications. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Salesforce.com to report revenue of $528.78 million on earnings of 30 cents per share.
This company beat Wall Street estimates last quarter after reporting in-line results the quarter prior. Salesforce.com has produced double-digit year-over-year revenue growth for the past four quarters in a row, but net income has dropped in the last two quarters.
Jefferies recently made some positive comments on Saleforce.com ahead of the quarter and reiterated its buy rating and $165 price target. Jefferies thinks the company will beat billing expectations given their market checks and higher transaction volumes. The stock has been beaten down hard going into this quarter, with shares falling from a recent high of $160 a share to its current price of just over $126. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Salesforce.com is reasonably high 8.1%. That means that out of the 122.35 million shares in the tradable float, 9.86 million are sold short by the bears. From a technical standpoint, this stock is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. Shares of CRM recently ran into some big overhead resistance at its 200-day moving average of $136.87 a share. The stock also failed before that at its 50-day moving average. That said, the stock has dropped sharply of late and it could rebound big if they report a solid quarter and guide higher. The way I would trade CRM would be to buy this stock after they report if you see hold above its recent low of $123.23 a share. If that level can hold, then you can jump into this name and add to the position if you see CRM trade above its next significant resistance level of $128.35 a share on big volume. Look for volume that's close to or greater than 2.4 million shares. I would short this stock only if it takes out $123.23 a share on big volume after it's reported their results. I would add to any short trade if it then losses $117.66 a share. Salesforce was also highlighted recently in " 5 Stocks That Could Move Big on Earnings."

Another great Dept. Q novel they just get better and better!!! Suspenseful, at times funny and humorous, such a wonderful series this is.
"Brilliantly Bosch"
Another great In the Bosch series. Harry has lost everything and deals with his mother's death in a tense and surprising story. Well narrated. This gentlemen is perfect for reading the Bosch novels.
"Great story, narrator just good"
When Charlie first uses her powers from anger
Great book and still worth a listen. I just found that I liked better when I read it.
"Just totally below average"
I just really didn't care about the characters. The narrator really got on my nerves with his reading style. Made it waaaaay too long.
Can't say
Just didn't care for his style. He made me really dislike the lead character and thus the book itself.
Too long and just couldn't wait to finally finish it. I don't mind the length, just wasn't nearly enough story to keep me interested. Didn't like the characters much.
"Lucas Davenport = Great"
Davenport, suspenseful, exciting
While I guess Davenport but another character, it would be Lily. I enjoy the whole cast of characters in the Prey novels though.
I have read most of the Prey series and love it. Am going back and listening to them in order. This is his second book. The narration is excellent. Does not disappoint. I highly recommend this series.
"Zzzzzz ??"
This was one of the shortest books I've listened but one of the longest. The story was so convoluted and boring. I'm not even sure I could tell you what it's about. I don't recommend this at all.
I will probably give another try but only because this was his first. Not a good start for him at all.
I didn't really dislike the narrator. Just the story itself.

2 policemen shot outside Italian premier's office in Rome as new govt is sworn in
ROME - An unemployed bricklayer shot two Italian policemen in a crowded square outside the premier's office Sunday just as Italy's new government was being sworn in, investigators said.
The gunman's intended target was politicians but none were in the square so he shot at the Carabinieiri paramilitary police, Rome Prosecutor Pierfilippo Laviani told reporters, citing what he said were the suspect's own words.
Mired in recession and suffering from soaring unemployment, Italy has been in political paralysis since an inconclusive February election. Social and political tensions have been running high among voters divided between centre-left, conservative and anti-government political parties.
Sunday was supposed to be a hopeful day when the debt-ridden nation finally got new government to solve its many problems. But shots rang out in Colonna Square near a busy shopping and strolling area shortly after 11:30 a.m. just as Premier Enrico Letta and his new ministers were taking their oaths at the Quirinal presidential office about a kilometre (half mile) away.
The suspected gunman, dressed in a dark business suit, was immediately wrestled to the ground by police outside Chigi Palace, which houses the premier's office and other government offices. The politicians went to the palace later Sunday for their first Cabinet meeting.
Laviani identified the alleged assailant as Luigi Preiti, a 49-year-old from Calabria, a southern agricultural area plagued by organized crime and chronic unemployment.
The shooting panicked tourists and locals in the square, whose centerpiece is a towering, second-century ancient Roman column honouring Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Rome was packed Sunday with people enjoying the last day of a four-day weekend.
Fanuel Morelli, a cameraman working for AP Television, said he was struck by the gunman's firm, calm stance.
"When I heard the first shot, I turned around and saw a man standing there, some 15 metres (50 feet) away from me. He held his arm out and I saw him fire another five, six shots," Morelli said. "He was firing at the second Carabiniere, who was about 4 metres (13 feet) in front of him.'"
Laviani said Preiti, who was taken to the hospital for bruises, confessed to the shooting and didn't appear mentally unbalanced.
"He is a man full of problems, who lost his job, who lost everything," the prosecutor said. "He was desperate. In general, he wanted to shoot at politicians, but given that he couldn't reach any, he shot at the Carabinieri" paramilitary police.
One policemen who shot in the neck was in critical condition. The other, shot in the leg, suffered a fracture, doctors said.
A woman passing by during the shooting was slightly injured, Rome's mayor said. It was unclear if she was grazed by a bullet or hurt in the panic sparked by the gunfire.
The 46-year-old Letta had produced a coalition deal only a day ago between two bitter political enemies — his centre-left forces and the conservative bloc of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi. Letta will speak to Parliament on Monday, laying out his strategy to reduce joblessness while still sticking to the austerity measures needed to keep the eurozone's No. 3 economy from descending into a sovereign debt crisis. He will then face confidence votes.
A video surveillance camera on the Parliament building caught the attacker on film just before and during the shooting, Italian news reports said.
The shooter was walking at a steady pace along a narrow street that leads from the square outside Parliament's lower house to the square outside the premier's office when police officers appear to have stopped him to ask where he was going.
Shortly after police approached him, he began firing, according to the surveillance camera.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the alleged gunman wanted to kill himself after the shooting but ran out of bullets. He said six shots were fired in all. The gunman used a semi-automatic pistol whose serial number had been scraped off, according to Sky TG24 TV.
The interior minister said security was immediately stepped up near key venues in the Italian capital, but added authorities were not worried about possible related attacks.
"Our initial investigation indicates the incident is due to an isolated gesture, although further investigations are being carried out," he said.
The ministers were kept briefly inside for security reasons until it was clear there was no immediate danger.
Doctors at Rome's Umberto I Polyclinic said a 50-year-old brigadier had been hit in the neck by a bullet that damaged his spinal column and was lodged near his shoulder. The doctors said it wasn't yet known if the spinal column injury had caused any paralysis.
The head of St. John's Hospital, Gianluigi Bracciale, told Sky TG24 TV the second officer suffered a broken leg from a gunshot. He said Prieti didn't appear to have any injuries other than bruises.
Preiti's uncle, interviewed by Sky, said the alleged gunman had moved back to his parents' home in Calabria because he could no longer find work as a bricklayer. "He was a great worker. He could build a house from top to bottom," said the uncle, Domenco Preiti.
The shooting sparked ugly memories of the 1970s and 1980s in Italy, when domestic terrorism plagued the country during a time of high political tensions between right-wing and left-wing blocs.
Among well-wishers for the new Italian government was President Barack Obama. The White House press office said Obama was looking forward to working closely with Letta's government "to promote trade, jobs, and growth on both sides of the Atlantic and tackle today's complex security challenges."
There was no direct reference to the shooting in the White House statement.
