SWIMMING: Ian Thorpe's manager says Australia's greatest Olympian was unlucky to have contracted a serious infection that's laid him up in hospital.
SWIMMING: Updates from the Australian Swimming Championships in Brisbane which also acted as selection trials for the 2014 Pan Pacs and Commonwealth Games.
SWIMMING: The Australian Swim Team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has been announced, tonight following a week of world class action at the Australian Swimming Championships in Brisbane.
SWIMMING: World champion swimmer Cate Campbell does not like to set goals. Usually.
SWIMMING: Dual Olympic gold medallists Susie O'Neill and Michael Klim were on Thursday officially announced as mentors to the national team's leadership group.
SWIMMING: The first Australian Olympic medallist from the Gold Coast, Greg Brough, has passed away on Sunday at the age of 63.
OLYMPIC: In years squashed between a Summer and Winter Olympics, you get a wonderful blend of inspiration. From the slopes of Austria to the Australian shores, you don't have to look far to see Australian athletes striving for excellence. Relive the #ASPIREtoSochi #ASPIREtoNanjing #RoadtoRio magic of 2013!
Ian Thorpe, Dawn Fraser, Herb Elliot, Shane Gould, Grant Hackett.... 20 Gold Medallists in one room. The Murray Rose Tribute Dinner wasn't short of Olympians ...or Olympic spirit.
AOC: The President of the AOC John Coates believes performances by Australia's Olympic athletes have "bottomed" and results will improve as we get closer to the 2016 Rio Games.
AOC: Imagine a room where you have Ian Thorpe and Herb Elliot deep in conversation; a table away three budding young 1500m swimmers are hanging on to Grant Hackett's every word; Dawn Fraser is on the other side of the room reminiscing with teammates John Konrads and Sandra Morgan-Beavis; and London 2012 K4 gold medallist David Smith is down the back getting his Murray Rose book signed by 1956 and 1960 swim team captain John Devitt.

Digital distribution SUCKS! Amirite?

Steam is the same and they even said that if they go bankrupt, they will just release all the games that have been purchased for download, playable with their DRM service. Not to mention it is almost impossible to lose something digitally. In the distant future, current generation games will be a small download. --- GT: ZiiX360 PSN: BoxFighter85 PC: i7 930@4Ghz | EX58 UD5 | GTX 460 SLI | 8GB DDR3 | 500GB Spinpoint | Vertex 2 180 SSD | Cooler Master HAF X | VG236H | |
Digital distribution would rock if the consumer actually saved money from publishing and distribution costs. As it stands now, it's just a trade off for storage space if you want to give up rights to own and play the game as you choose. Retail games also seem to be discounted quicker; so, in my opinion, it's a bad deal for the consumer. --- 3DS Friend Code: 1461 - 6679 - 3387 Please PM me with your Friend Code if this is not a FC thread and I'll do my best to add you. | |
Its wonderful and it will be coming weather you like it or not. Change often frightens people, but soon you will look back and think it silly that the only way you could play games was on a disc, | |
DesperateMonkey posted... DD is so much better than retail. Servers going down? Maybe there are instances of this from the early ages of Digital Distribution. Moving forward, this is almost an impossibility with companies like Microsoft. You are far more likely to lose or scratch your game than see Microsoft go broke. But what if Nintendo(or Sony for that matter too) suddenly goes Bankrupt. And has to shut down all servers. What then will happen to those games you purchased as DDs? That's one of the major questions I've been wondering about. | |
Chris386333 posted... Its wonderful and it will be coming weather you like it or not. Change often frightens people, but soon you will look back and think it silly that the only way you could play games was on a disc, Not necessarily. I don't look back at N64 cartridges and find them silly... And what about the points raised in the article? 'Hard-drive top ups' for example. Storage costs are decreasing, but we'll probably end up using a more modern variety, and games will take up more and more space. | |
It is on Nintendo consoles, on other consoles it's great but it will never take over, physical media is just so much cheaper per GB. | |
Chocobo115 posted... I don't like DD of retail games that much either. I keep wondering "What if they just pull the plug, what will happen to all those games?" It already happens with Steam and Amazon DDs, they ban your account and everything that requires authentication goes poof. --- Know Japanese? Post your advise in the topic below! http://gamefaqs.com/boards/316-gamefaqs-world-japan/63714709 | |
Honestly, Nintendo is opening the way for the newer systems to go all out DD. This is why Nintendo made the claim almost all games (especially 1st party) will be downloadable. Not only that, but they are giving customers the premium package with deluxe where every download gives you 10% back in points. Nintendo is basically getting your feet wet and ready for what's to come in the future. --- GT & PSN - Newnie Legend in the making. | |
Nourong. --- Biggest nicekirbyfan9fan - nicekirbyfan9 is the biggest nintendrone ever - nicekirbyfan9 loves wiimusic | |
I just don't see the bad outweighing the good. It's convenient, yes, and there's unlimited stock. I'd still rather stick with good ol' hard copies. At the very least I hope both can co-exist peacefully, but that's unlikely. |

Michael Leavitt has profited from Obamacare. So what?
It did not take long for Michael Leavitt, Mitt Romney's head of newly picked transition team, to come under fire as an "Obamacare profiteer." His consulting firm, Leavitt Partners, works with states to set up health insurance exchanges, the marketplaces that must be up and running by 2014.
Leavitt's firm has undeniably boomed alongside the Affordable
Care Act; his staff doubled to handle all the new business that's been coming in lately. But that Obamacare-fueled boom does not necessarily put Leavitt's work out of step with his party. The majority of what Leavitt's firm does is work with the Republican-governed states that have accepted millions to plan for Obamacare's insurance marketplaces.
Over the past two years, the Obama administration has handed out a little over $1 billion in health insurance "establishment grants," multimillion-dollar awards that give states the resources to a health insurance exchange ready by 2014. Via Governing Magazine, here's where those have gone in map form (interactive version here):
Those pink states are the ones currently party to the Supreme Court case challenging the health reform law that have, at the same time, accepted multimillion-dollar grants to plan for health insurance exchanges. Together, they've accepted $220 million in health exchange establishment grants.
Those pink states are also a lot of the ones that Leavitt's consultants spend a lot of time in, with Republican governors who see themselves in a bit of a health insurance exchange bind. As Leavitt put it to me in an interview last year, he hears a lot from governors facing an uncomfortable choice. If they set up a health insurance exchange, they would be implementing a law they really didn't like. But if they sat idle, and refused to do so, the federal government would come in and take over the task.
Many were choosing the latter option.
"There is a group that feels as though they don't want to be associated with the Affordable Care Act," he said. "Privately, though, it's clear that several of those are planning behind the scenes, because they don't want to have a federal exchange."
Some have questioned a seeming conflict between Leavitt's work and Romney's promise to repeal Obamacare should he become president. The two don't necessarily collide. Leavitt has, in speeches, made the case that states should set up health insurance exchanges regardless of the Affordable Care Act. He describes the marketplaces as a "practical solution to a problem that needs to be solved." Moving forward on that goal isn't necessarily inconsistent with supporting the health overhaul's repeal.
Leavitt Partners has certainly grown thanks to the health reform law — and to demands from Republican governors, who want to figure out how to work within the bounds of a law they don't like. These are states like New Mexico, which awarded Leavitt Partners a $1 million contract last week to work in its exchange. Without grants like that, coming from Republican-governed states, Michael Leavitt wouldn't have much of a consulting firm at all.

Esta en forma elegante, oh peregrino,
de pórfido luciente dura llave,
el pincel niega al mundo más süave,
que dio espíritu a leño, vida a lino.
Su nombre, aún de mayor aliento dino
que en los clarines de la Fama cabe,
el campo ilustra de ese mármol grave;
venéralo y prosigue tu camino.
Yace el Griego. Heredó Naturaleza
Arte; y el Arte, estudio. Iris, colores.
Febo, luces (si no sombras, Morfeo).
Tanta urna, a pesar de su dureza,
lágrimas beba, y cuantos suda olores
corteza funeral de árbol sabeo.
This in graceful form, oh pilgrim,
a solid key of porphyry gleaming brightly
denies the world the softest brush
which ever wood gave soul, or canvas gave life.
His name, deserving even greater breath
than Fame needs for her clarion fanfare,
this field of marble amplifies:
venerate it and be on your way.
Here lies the Greek. to Nature he bequeathed Art,
To Art, learning.
To the Rainbow, colors.
To Phoebus, the bright, to Morpheus his somber tones.
May this great urn, despite its hardness,
drink tears and all the odors in the sweat
of the funereal bark of the Arabian tree.

de Domínico Greco (1610)(S.H. transl.)

Note: This report is available in its entirety in the Portable Document Format (PDF).
The vast majority of prisoners in this country (about 80 percent) are released "conditionally," subject to a period of supervision in the community, often called "parole."1 Parole supervision is used as both a surveillance tool and a social service mechanism and ideally serves a deterrent role in preventing new crimes from occurring. Parole supervision can function as a surveillance tool by monitoring and sanctioning those who violate conditions of release, potentially averting more serious reoffending. Parole supervision can also act as a social service mechanism by using rules and incentives to engage ex-prisoners in positive activities, such as work and drug treatment, and to place ex-prisoners in programs that may help reentry transitions. While the focus of parole supervision has shifted more toward the surveillance function over the years,2 the number of people subject to it continues to grow. In 2003, over 774,000 adult men and women were under parole supervision in the United States,3 up from 197,000 in 1980.4
Despite its widespread use, remarkably little is known about whether parole supervision increases public safety or improves reentry transitions. Prior research indicates that fewer than half of parolees successfully complete their period of parole supervision without violating a condition of release or committing a new offense,5 and that two-thirds of all prisoners are rearrested within three years of release.6 To date, however, no national studies have compared the criminal activity of prisoners who are supervised after release to that of their unsupervised counterparts.
In this research brief, we use data from a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) recidivism study7 (see "Data Sources and Limitations" sidebar) to compare prisoners released to parole supervision in 1994 with prisoners who completed their entire prison sentence and were released without any supervision or reporting requirements.8 Our goal is to assess, at an aggregate level, whether parole "works" at reducing recidivism among those who are supervised after release from state prison.
The report is organized around three key questions. First, do prisoners released with and without supervision differ with respect to demographics, incarceration characteristics, and criminal histories? Second, do prisoners released with and without supervision recidivate at different rates? And finally, if there are differences in recidivism outcomes between those released with and without supervision, when and for whom does supervision matter most?

Steve has completed online and offline ID verification.
Steve was a fantastic guest. He was always communicative, appreciative, trustworthy, easy to communicate with and fast to respond to any questions. Overall, it was very easy working with him and he knows his way around the wonderful neighborhood of Las Canitas. I would highly recommend Steve to future hosts and I'd happily host him again. Thanks Steve and all the best!
Steve was a pleasure to have as our guest, both before and during his stay. He was extremely reliable, clear, problem-solving and friendly, and his stay worked out very well. I would fully recommend him and would be happy to have him return to Barcelona. Best of luck Steve!
Steve has been a great guest. I look forward to having him stay in the apartment again in the future. Communications with him during the booking and throughout the stay were fast and easy. He took excellent care of my pad, and left it in the same condition (perhaps better) than it was before he arrived. He took the time and effort to assemble and setup various gadgets and furnishings that I bought in, which would had otherwise sit in their boxes for weeks until I could take care of it myself. I'd recommend Steve to other hosts and wish him all the best in his travels around the globe.
Steve was an excellent guest, fast decision when he booked the flat, punctual on check in and check out, very good on answering emails and following house rules. He left the apartment at due time and in a very good state, clean and tidy. I am very happy with him and his friend, I reccomand Steve to any airbnb tenants and wish him all the best for his travelling! Thanks Steve!

The best I can phonetically spell out the way I heard it is "kes-uh-leech-uh."
Lir Nov 26, 2008, 11:31am #11I've never heard of the soup before but I did some googling.Oats are used in Polish Easter Soup (Zurek Wielkanocny)loads of pages for it on the internet but this is one link.http://www.bigoven.com/132574-Polish-Easter-Soup-(Zurek-Wielkanocny)-r ecipe.htmlThen I found the one below ? Not sure if that is what you are looking for ? I have two very old Polish Cookery books, but they are packed away at the moment. If you haven't found the right recipe in a week or two then I'll have a search through my books. Hope you find what you are looking for :)KESELITSA 1/2 box Old Fashioned Quaker Oats2 T. floursalt to taste1 1/2 cakes yeast1 t. caraway seed1 quart lukewarm waterPlace oats in a large bowl. Crumble the yeast into the oats. Add the flour and then pour in the water. Stir all ingredients well. Cover the bowl and place near a warm spot to ferment all day and night. The following day, gradually add: 3 quarts lukewarm water to the same bowl; stir well. Strain through a sieve, then cook the oats slowly, stirring constantly. Add garlic and caraway seed. Keselitsa is ready when the spoon becomes coated. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes.
Rakky Threads: 9 / Posts: 219♂ Joined: May 23, 2007 Nov 26, 2008, 02:22pm #12Lir:KESELITSA Thanks, Lir! This might be it. Although I think he said his Mom had to ferment the stuff longer than one day - maybe 2 or 3? And I thought it was soup - this sounds like the output is basically oatmeal. Unless I'm missing something here. How does the strained, slowly cooked oatmeal become a soup? Can any cooks out there help me more with this?Thanks again, Lir - I look forward to hearing more from you on this.
Lir Nov 26, 2008, 02:32pm #13I just found this recipe below......I think it is a Ukrainian dish ?Anyways, good luck with it :)"keselitsa" - thin soup made from oats.Recipe: take 1 kg of oats and mill with shell (husk) on [ oatmeal is a good substitute ], then add yeast or bread starter ("kvasok") dough left from previous bread making. Add 3 liters of warm water to each litter of oat flour. Keep it covered for 8 - 10 hrs in a warm place. Following the fermentation process, strain it through a sieve (screen), in order to remove oat shell, and cook it on medium heat. Add salt, caraway seed, and fat (bacon, oil or butter) to your taste. During lent keselytsia is prepared with the flax oil, while on other days it is served with bacon or butter. It is mostly consumed with a side dish of potatoes.
Rakky Threads: 9 / Posts: 219♂ Joined: May 23, 2007 Nov 26, 2008, 03:17pm #14Lir:this recipe belowInteresting. This one is made with freshly milled oat flour, then strained just to remove the oat shells. Which leads me to think that if you start with oatmeal instead, you'd toss the actual oats after straining them and make the soup from the liquid. This certainly requires further investigation.Thanks again. Lir.
Lir Nov 26, 2008, 03:19pm #15You're very welcome. We'll get there eventually :)It does look like this is the right recipe though.Where did your father come from originally ? It may be that he was in a part of Poland that is now the Ukraine and that's why not that many Polish people have heard of it. Just a guess .This is the link where I got the sup recipe from, you may find it of some interest ?busternus.com/ukraine/43eng.html
Polonius3 Threads: 871 / Posts: 6,368♂ Joined: Apr 11, 2008 Nov 26, 2008, 03:22pm #16KESELITSA is not a Polish spelling. Presumably it is derived from kisiel (pronounced: KEy-shell) -- a potato-starch gel, pudding or thick soup) and would have to spelt something like kisielica? It must be a highly local concoction. Has anyone seen the word in print?
miranda Nov 26, 2008, 03:39pm #18Lir found the right recipe. Good job. I tried and could not find one.Presumably it is derived from kisielnope, t has nothing to do with kisiel.Keesylycya (Lemko term and this it where Rakky's father is from is how I remember it is derived form Kiszony - pickled/ fermented.
Lir Nov 26, 2008, 04:15pm #19Good job.Thanks Miranda :)Lemko term and this it where Rakky's father is fromThat's quite interesting. So many different Polish dishes and it's fascinating to find where they originated from. Wish someone would write a book on it all before all the information gets lost when the older generation are no longer here.
miranda Nov 26, 2008, 04:17pm #20Lir:So many different Polish dishes and it's fascinating to find where they originated from. it is not Polish but Ukrainian since lemkos are considered Ukies. In my books anyways.Lir:Wish someone would write a book on it all before all the information gets lost when the older generation are no longer here. It has been documented for sure.
Lir Nov 26, 2008, 04:26pm #21it is not Polish but UkrainianYes, I agree. I did say that it was Ukrainian in a previous post. That's how I managed to find the recipe.But quite a few older generation Polish people have food that was prepared by their Mothers and depending where they lived, depends on the variation they are used too.It's like that soup, it was really difficult to find and there are only really one or two entries on the internet for it. It's things like that would perhaps be good to document, with a bit of a narrative with it. Make for an interesting read I think.:)
miranda Nov 26, 2008, 04:37pm #22Lir:But quite a few older generation Polish people have food that was prepared by their Mothers and depending where they lived, depends on the variation they are used too.well, you are right and when it comes to soup base for beet soup and zurek, traditionally women in those days used to make a fermented base, so the taste was naturally sour and I actually think is is healthy for you.Nowdays, in order to achieve the sour taste, people use leon juice or other things, but it is not the same. I think that respected cooks still use the fermented base because I have seen some recipes being revamped in Polish magazines, it just doesn't happen that often. It is the same with bread such a sour dough bread which calls for the fermented base as well, because it makes a huge difference in taste but it is time consuming.
Rakky Threads: 9 / Posts: 219♂ Joined: May 23, 2007 Nov 27, 2008, 10:53am #23miranda:lemkos are considered Ukies. In my books anyways.A common misperception. Lemkos are one sub-group of Carpatho-Rusyns (see www.lemko.org for some more information on this). We are our own distinct nationality with our own language, culture and customs.
Lir Nov 27, 2008, 01:54pm #24LemkosThe page where I got the recipe from has several opening paragraphs about Lemkos ! Did you manage to read it ?busternus.com/ukraine/43eng.htmlI'd never heard of Lemkos before so found it very interesting. Maybe you could tell us a little bit more about them ?:)
Rakky Threads: 9 / Posts: 219♂ Joined: May 23, 2007 Nov 28, 2008, 07:23am #25Thank you, Lir. I have seen these woodcuts and the related text many times - they are gorgeous and informative. But within the text lies some of the controversy - are Lemkos (Rusyns) just a sub-group of Ukrainians? Regardless of where we live, I believe the answer to be "no." We are our own people. Many of us are very confused as to our true ethnicity. My own father had no idea what he was until I did the research nearly 6 years ago. That means he lived 78 years of his life not knowing his proud and tragic Rusyn ancestry. There is far too much for me to tell here - I strongly urge you to start with the website I provided in an earlier post and go on from there. That way you can come to your own conclusions. I know that my paternal ancestral roots are in Poland, but I also know that they are not Polish. Nor are they Ukrainian. I am Rusyn, and very proud of it.
babcha Jan 3, 2009, 02:08pm #26HI,My family has been eating a fermented Polish soup for vigilia for generations. It is my great-grandmother's recipe, we think for her hometown. The soup is fermented for three days, strained and flavored with garlic and wild mushrooms (the REALLY smaleey really expensive ones). It is served over a boiled potato, and is yummy. Is this the recipe you are interested in?Babcha

(Originally she thought it was a Christmas eve dish since that is when she recalled eating it...never found a recipe associated with Ukranian Christmas dishes...so just more looking) Her Ukranian relatives are also interested for a recipe so I will be checking back....Thanks for all the leg work...really helpful.

Strategic depth
Strategic depth is a term in military literature that broadly refers to the distances between the front lines or battle sectors and the combatants' industrial core areas, capital cities, heartlands, and other key centers of population or military production. The key precepts any military commander must consider when dealing with strategic depth are how vulnerable these assets are to a quick, preemptive attack or to a methodical offensive and whether a country can withdraw into its own territory, absorb an initial thrust, and allow the subsequent offensive to culminate short of its goal and far from its source of power.
Commanders must be able to plan for both eventualities, and have measures and resources in place on both tactical and strategic levels to counter any and all stages of a minor or major enemy attack. These measures do not need to be limited to purely military assets, either—the ability to reinforce civilian infrastructure or make it flexible enough to withstand or evade assault is very valuable in times of war. The issue was the trade-off between space and time as witnessed by Germany's failure to defeat the Soviet Union in 1942. In the face of a German invasion, the Soviet military retreating from occupied Poland in June 1941 to the outskirts of Moscow in December 1941 allowed the Soviet Union to move its industrial base to the east of the Ural Mountains. Thus the industries that had been moved could build the resources needed for the Soviet counter-attack.
The term is also the title of the main publication of Ahmet Davutoğlu in drafting the new foreign policy of Turkey.[citation needed]
In reference to Pakistan[edit]
In Pakistan, the idea of strategic depth was perceived in 1980s by the NDU professor General Mirza Aslam Beg (later Chief of Army Staff working under Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 1980s).[1] Since then, the Pakistan military establishment has been repeatedly accused of forming a policy that seeks to control Afghanistan, a policy often referred to by the media as "strategic depth". This is given as the reason why Pakistan has supported certain factions of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The current Pakistan military leaders have denied these claims.[citation needed]
Accusations against the Pakistan military[edit]
The term "strategic depth" has been used in reference to Pakistan's utilization and contact with Afghanistan following the neighboring country's Soviet intervention, to prevent encirclement from a hostile India and a USSR-supported Afghanistan.[1] Some sources state that the policy to control Afghanistan was formulated by NDU professor, General Mirza Aslam Beg,[2] and an Indian source claims this was continued as an active policy by the Pakistan Armed Forces until the policy was "de jure abolished in 1998 and de facto abolished in 2001", period when General Pervez Musharraf was the Chairman joint chiefs.[3]
According to Richard Olson, U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Pakistan military's doctrine of "strategic depth" is a concept in which Pakistan uses Afghanistan as an instrument of strategic security in ongoing tensions with India by attempting to control Afghanistan as a pawn for its own political purposes.[4]
It has been speculated that the Pakistan military's "strategic depth" policy is either military or non-military in nature. The military version would state that the Pakistan military wishes to use Afghan territory as a "strategic rallying point" where they can, in the event of a successful Indian attack, retreat to and re-group for a counter-attack. The non-military version would be based on the idea that Pakistan can improve relations with other Islamic countries and former Soviet states such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, developing improved economic and cultural ties with them and thus making them into strong allies against India.[5]
View of the Pakistan military[edit]
The chief of army staff General Ashfaq Kayani and previously the director-general of the ISI, has repeatedly stated to the media that the Pakistan armed forces's "strategic depth" policy with regards to Afghanistan is not to "control" Afghanistan but to ensure a "peaceful, friendly and stable" relationship with Afghanistan. This policy therefore aims to ensure that Pakistan will not be threatened with long-term security problems on its Western border with Afghanistan.[6] According to Kayani, a 'talibanised' Afghanistan is not in Pakistan's interests.[7]
According to Ejaz Haider, a Pakistani military journalist, there is a confusion in the media regarding the policy on using Afghan territory to as a fallback area for Pakistan military assets. Haider blames General Mirza Aslam Beg for proposing this when he was the chief of army staff of the Pakistan Army under Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, stating that this concept "was unpopular even when he was the chief and it has never been entertained by serious military planners. No one thinks of placing military and other assets in Afghanistan and thus acquiring strategic depth." Haider states that such a concept has always been impossible "for a host of reasons" and strategic depth is better used to describe achieving security through improving relationships with the governments of neighbouring countries such as Afghanistan and India.[8]
Lieutenant-General Asad Durrani of ISI, has rubbished claims in the media regarding Pakistan intending to use Afghan territory as "strategic depth". He also denies accusations that the Pakistan military has tried to "install a friendly government in Kabul" in order to "secure this depth". He gives the Soviet Union as an example, stating that "after the Saur Revolution, the Soviets executed an installed president every three months in pursuit of that objective" and these policies later resulted in the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan. He argues that the notion of Pakistan using Afghan territory for its own purposes is a "distortion of a concept or of history" and is being used to vilify Pakistan.[9]
In Israel[edit]
Israel is a narrow country, and its internationally recognized borders leave it just 85 miles (137 km) across at its widest point and 9 miles (14 km) at its narrowest (between Tulkarm and Tel Aviv).[10] A number of Israeli leaders (originally Abba Eban) have referred to Israel's internationally recognized borders (those the country had from 1948 to 1967) as the "Auschwitz borders" because of the perceived danger of annihilation by regional foes.[11][12][13] Since 1967, Israel has occupied the West Bank, somewhat widening the area under the military's effective control.
To compensate for the lack of strategic depth, Israel approaches all wars as "must-win." This puts a great importance on deterrence (partially by threat of nuclear weapons), superior firepower, and the use of pre-emptive war to prevent threats from encroaching on Israeli territory.[14] Yitzhak Rabin said about the Six-Day War (considered a classic example of pre-emption):
The basic philosophy of Israel was not to initiate war, unless an active war was carried out against us. We then lived within the lines prior to the Six-Day War, lines that gave no depth to Israel—and therefore, Israel was in a need, whenever there would be a war, to go immediately on the offensive—to carry the war to the enemy's land.[15]
Israeli leaders consider the issue of strategic depth to be important in negotiating its final borders as part of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process. Issues of contention include the West Bank settlements and potential Israeli control of the Jordan Rift Valley after the creation of a Palestinian state.[16]

July, 2012: Cisco Finally Gets A Top Exec Role In VCE
Since EMC is by far the majority investor in VCE, it has gotten the lion's share of the executive positions in the joint venture.
That changed in July, 2012, when Praveen Akkiraju, a 19-year veteran of Cisco and most recently Cisco's senior vice president and general manager, Services Routing Technology Group, took the CEO position along with a seat on the board at VCE.
Akkiraju's hire was significant in that it marked the first instance of a major Cisco executive joining a company management team heavily dominated by former EMC executives.

honda civic 1988, while i drive all of a sudden the car stops
4 Answers
DavidH25 answered 2 years ago
Then take your foot off the brake. Sorry, I couldn't resist that, It sounds like there may be an electrical problem with the ECM, or "brain" going faulty. In 1988 those were a relatively new concept and if it is original factory, have it checked. I don't know if that Honda has a fault port, if so AutoZone and some of the other chains will check it free.
Ronc258 answered 2 years ago
could all so be the ignition module is going bad when they get faulty they heat up and short out when they cool off they will work fine untill they get hot again. Had that happen to me on a 1989 nison pickup. Replaced the module and never had another problem
tenspeed answered 2 years ago
It could also be the coils. Next time it stops, try some starting fluid to see if it fires. That will let you know if you have spark.
piranha2 answered 2 years ago
the problem is the your main relay or also known as your main circuit breaker...i used to own a 1988 honda civic for years which gave me the same problem and i found that the relay which is located right above the fuse box on the left hand side behind the dash board and screwed into the inner side fender even with the top door hinge is your problem, honda has known about this problem for years but no recalls??? you can get a couple at your local junk yard for a couple of dollars, hope this helps you! firstname.lastname@example.com

Square and Apple have plans for Monday
If you follow @jack, otherwise known as Twitter co-founder and current Square CEO Jack Dorsey, then you'll know that at about 2 PM EDT today, he tweeted the cryptic Instagram (a company he's invested in) message and photo shown at right. A square with apples in it -- that's pretty obvious there, Jack.
Square card readers are currently selling in Apple retail stores, but it appears that there's more to the story. The company has a press conference scheduled for 10 AM PDT at its headquarters in San Francisco, and Dorsey's hint looks like a not-so-subtle message that the two companies are going to announce something big.
I speculated yesterday that Apple could be planning to use Square card readers with the Apple Retail iPads that are being rolled out, or perhaps Square and Apple have other plans up their respective sleeves. Fortunately, the announcement is just two days away and not life-changing, so we can all rest easy over this beautiful spring (or fall in the Southern Hemisphere) weekend.

Ada is sick again (hence the early posting). Why oh why does a sick child wake up EARLIER than normal? I mean, other than to sneeze on me, which is of course a bonus at 4am. Chris got up to soothe the beast at some time after 3. I momentarily woke up, but fell back asleep when I saw that he was up. By 4 I woke up for real, as whatever valiant efforts he was making were not convincing the Maven of Mucus to shut her eyes for a little longer. I nursed Ada in bed and then tried to replace my nipple with a nuk for a bit more shut-eye for all. Nope. So here we are. 4:30 am and the gal is reorganizing her toys and smiling sweetly at me. I'd love to be as eloquent and erudite as HBM on as little sleep, but that is just not going to happen. Hell, I'm not that clever with a full night of rest. My only hope is that by 6:30 Ada will want a nap and we can both sleep.

There is no hell like sick baby. Have been there. Is worse than ordinary sleep-resistance.
Feeling for you, girl. Feeling for you.
(And. Love that you all like the sleepless stream-of-consciousness that I spewed up. But it *was* a bit messed up. I ended with a phallic carrot skewered with a butcher's knife. My Husband didn't sleep for a few nights.)

New York's got nothing on ancient Jerusalem, and Governor Andrew Cuomo's got nothing on Rabbi Hillel the Elder.
While we were all rushing home to take shelter from the impending Blizzard Juno, with its promised "historic" downfall of 30 inches of snow, and while our fearless leader Cuomo was busy shutting down the entire New York City subway system, an unprecedented reaction that many believed was just for show, I couldn't help thinking of one of my favorite Talmud stories.
This story proves that the ancient rabbis were totally badass when it came to coping with snow. At least, Hillel the Elder was. A promised 30 inches? That's nothing! Hillel willingly stayed out in 54 inches of snow! His motivation? Well, see for yourself:
If ever there was a good night to light Hanukkah candles, it's tonight — one of the longest nights in human history.
No, that's not a figure of speech. It is literally one of the longest nights Earth has ever seen!
You may already know that December 21-22 is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year for anyone living in the Northern Hemisphere. But did you know that the Earth's rotation is actually slowing down over time, which means that in a typical year the length of a day increases by 15-25 millionths of a second, which means that this year's winter solstice will be longer than in years past (and could've been the longest ever had it not been for climate change)?
It's true. True, and also inconvenient, because the teeny increase means that every few years official timekeepers are forced to add a "leap second"!
The reason for the phenomenon, scientists explain, has to do with the moon and a little something called tidal acceleration. We won't get into all the geeky details here, but if you want to understand the science behind it, check out this explanation over at Vox. If you're content to take this on faith, the important thing to remember is that the stretch of darkness we're about to experience is much longer than our poor planet normally endures.
When studying Talmud, it's easy to be desensitized to the real-life implications of even the most sensitive issues — rape, for example.
So, as we at Yeshivat Har Etzion study the third chapter of the Talmudic tractate Ketubot, a chapter devoted to the crimes of rape and seduction, it's easy to forget (especially when using the Hebrew terms) that "ones u-mefateh" are not just legal categories, but traumatic events that affect real people.
To combat that, my yeshiva arranged two presentations this week to ensure that I and the other students fully grasp what's at stake in discussions of rape and sexual assault.
The first, as our teacher Rabbi Shmuel Shimoni noted, was meant to highlight the human dimensions, and therefore avoided both Jewish legal and secular legal issues. The yeshiva invited Yonina Fallenberg, Director of the Rape Crisis Center for Religious Women in Tel Aviv, to speak at this presentation. She was moved by the invitation, noting that she normally speaks to communities who have been shocked by sexual abuse. To speak to our group without any such prompting highlighted for her (and for us) that the yeshiva understood that "the greatest Torah is that which is connected to reality."
A still from the Iranian version of Pharrell Williams' "Happy" music video / YouTube
It's a weird aftereffect of a Jewish day school education that, when I see a headline like "Iran Court Sentences 'Happy' Dancers to 6 Months and 91 Lashes," I immediately ask myself: WWTDD? Or: what would the Talmud do?
You might remember that back in May, seven young men and women were arrested in Iran for recreating Pharrell Williams' "Happy" music video and posting it on YouTube. Now a Tehran court has sentenced the dancers to six months in prison plus 91 lashes each. Luckily, the sentence was suspended, meaning that the verdict won't actually be carried out unless the dancers repeat their "crime" in the next three years.
Still, it's a harsh verdict, and everyone from Pharrell Williams to Iran's own President Hassan Rouhani seems unhappy with how these kids have been treated. "It is beyond sad that these kids were arrested for trying to spread happiness," Williams wrote on his Facebook page. "Happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviors caused by joy," Rouhani wrote in a May tweet widely seen as expressing support for the dancers.
Likewise, my initial response was: Ouch! 91 lashes? Even the ancient rabbinic texts I studied in school didn't recommended meting out that many! Then, to make sure my impulse was correct, I did a bit more digging into the wide world of rabbinic whipping.
Despite rain and traffic jams, the mood was jubilant at MetLife stadium on August 1, as some 90,000 Orthodox Jews gathered to celebrate the completion of the study of the Talmud, or Siyum HaShas.
A massive crowd of mostly ultra-Orthodox men in dark suits and hats packed the East Rutherford, N.J., football stadium, spilling out onto concourses, escalators and parking lots. Several thousand women also attended, seated on the upper level behind a specially constructed, $250,000 divider made of green plastic that remained open for much of the evening.
"It was inspiring," said Yossi Gelber, an accountant from Queens who has participated off and on in the page-a-day Talmud regimen, or Daf Yomi, since 1990. "How often do you get to [pray] with 90,000 people?"
"I came to have an imprint in my mind and to be part of something wonderful," added Pnina Fenig, a speech therapist and Toronto native now living on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
The event, which began at 7:30 pm and lasted until after midnight, marked the 12th completion of the 2,711-page cycle that begins anew every seven-and-a-half years. The daily study system was initiated in 1923 in Vienna, at the first congress of Agudath Israel, by Rabbi Meir Shapiro.
While this year's event marked the largest such gathering to date, celebrations were held in previous years at venues such as Madison Square Garden, Continental Airlines Arena and Nassau Coliseum.
