There have been greatly surprising developments in Norway in the past weeks.
Conservative parliamentarian Peter Gitmark has said on television that his
country is indirectly funding Palestinian terrorists. The country's three
largest opposition parties – the Conservatives, the Progress Party and the
Christian Democrats – have asked for an investigation into Norwegian financing
of the Palestinian Authority by the Parliamentary Committee on Scrutiny and
Constitutional Affairs. This committee has requested that the Foreign Ministry
provide proper documentation clarifying the funding of Palestinian salaries paid
to convicted terrorists.Foreign Minister Barth Eide admitted that his
predecessor Jonas Gahr Stoere had twice misled parliament. He had said in 2011
and 2012 that his ministry knew where Norwegian aid money to the Palestinian
Authority went and that convicted terrorists in Israeli jails only received
cafeteria money while their families are given financial support. State
Secretary Torgeir Larsen has now disclosed that prisoners in Israeli jails
serving long sentences receive payments from the PA. These prisoners can choose
to whom they want to give the money. Contributing about 50 million
dollars annually to the PA, Norway is one of its largest donors.The
government-owned Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) broadcast a television
program on February 28 in which the claim was made that part of Norwegian
taxpayers' money goes to funding Palestinian murderers in Israeli jails. This
was remarkable as NRK has a long record of anti-Israel bias and distorted
reporting on the Middle East.All of this was triggered by information
provided by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). It showed that the PA uses money from
its budget to pay salaries to all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails for
security offenses. The recipients include those serving multiple life sentences
for murder. Among them is Ibrahim Hamed, the man behind, among others, the
Hebrew University cafeteria bombing and who was convicted for the murder of 46
Israelis.Until recently, the strongest criticism of the massive
misconduct of the Norwegian Labor-dominated government usually came from abroad.
This author's 2008 book Behind the Humanitarian Mask: The Nordic Countries,
Israel and the Jews was a lone foreign voice documenting that Norway is a
pioneer in promoting Israel-hatred and anti-Semitic acts. Most Norwegian
media reactions to the book have been classic responses against internal
dissenters and foreign critics; one does not mention them, but when doing so is
unavoidable, they are demonized.At the time there were no studies on
anti-Semitism in Norway and thus no statistics to support the massive amount of
anecdotal information. Even the tiny organized Norwegian Jewish community – with
less than 900 members – tried to publicly minimize the high level of anti-
Semitism.In a somewhat similar way, in 2010, almost all Norwegian mass
media concealed a letter former American senator Sam Brownback sent to the
Norwegian ambassador in Washington expressing concerns regarding Norwegian anti-
Semitism and anti-Israelism. They were accompanied by documentation from the
Simon Wiesenthal Center listing examples of anti-Israeli hate support by
Norway's king, prime minister, minister of foreign affairs, minister of finance
and deputy minister of the environment. As far as is known, Brownback
never received a reply.A breakthrough in foreign exposure came when
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz visited Norway in 2011. The universities
of Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim refused his offer of a free lecture on
international law and Israel. The student unions then organized alternative
lectures. Dershowitz thereafter wrote an article in The Wall Street
Journal saying that Norway reminded him of South Africa under the Apartheid
regime.A few months later a study commissioned by the Oslo Municipality
showed that one-third of all Jewish high school students are verbally or
physically harassed at least two or three times a month. A study in 2012 by the
Center for Studies of Holocaust and Religious Minorities showed that 38 percent
of Norwegians agree with the statement that Israel behaves toward the
Palestinians in the same way that the Nazis acted toward the Jews. The authors
of the study in their conclusion whitewashed these findings by not including
them in their statistics of anti-Semitism. They must have been aware that
calling Israel a Nazi state is anti-Semitic according to the European Working
Definition of Anti-Semitism.Meanwhile, internal Norwegian voices against
this anti-Israel hate-mongering have become stronger. One is the MIFF
organization, which supports Israel. Another is a leading Norwegian
non-fiction writer, Hanne Nabintu Herland. She claims Norway is the most
anti-Semitic country in the West. Her standing in the country is so prominent
that even major national media had to print this.At present the
opposition parties are currently well ahead in the polls for the September 2013
parliamentary elections. The two largest ones – the Conservative and
Progress parties – have already agreed on a positive change in attitude toward
Israel if they win. In this context, the current pressure on the government to
end the financing of Palestinian terrorists becomes even more
meaningful.The writer is a board member and former chairman of the
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (2000-2012). He is a recipient of the
Lifetime Achievement Award (2012) of the Journal for the Study of Anti-Semitism.

Michael Burns on 3 Ways Digital Content is Evolving
3:00 PM PDT 4/30/2014 by THR Staff
The vice chairman, Lionsgate Entertainment tells THR about using cross promotion to get movie goers into theaters. "Ultimately consumers get what they want, it you have a television on the wall, you have to watch it in that room but if you can transfer something over and actually download a movie or an app and sort of move around and watch when you have a few minutes here or there, that is going to happen," says Burns.

Rhodes, Karin V., Teri L. Vieth, Hallie Kushner, Helen Levy, and Brent R. Asplin. 2009. "Referral Without Access: For Psychiatric Services, Wait for the Beep." Annals of Emergency Medicine, 54(2): 272-278.
Study objective: We examine access to care for acute depression by insurance status compared to access for acute medical conditions in 9 metropolitan areas in the United States.
Methods: Using an audit study design, trained research assistants posing as patients referred from a local emergency department (ED) for treatment of depression called each clinic twice, with differing insurance status. The main outcome measure was the ability to schedule a mental health appointment within 2 weeks of the ED visit.
Results: In 45% of 322 calls to mental health clinics, the research assistant reached an answering machine compared with 8% of calls to medical clinics. As a result, only 31% of callers with depression vignettes were able to determine whether they could get an appointment versus 78% of callers with medical complaints. When they reached appointment personnel by telephone, 57% of depression callers successfully arranged an appointment (39% within 14 days). Among depression callers who reached appointment personnel, 67% of privately insured and 33% of Medicaid callers were able to make an appointment, for overall appointment rates of 22% and 12%, respectively. Appointment success for the uninsured was comparable to that of Medicaid patients. The high percentage of callers who encountered answering machines prevented us from completing the designed analysis of paired calls to individual clinics.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the process for obtaining urgent follow-up appointments is systematically different for patients seeking behavioral health care than for those with physical complaints. The use of voicemail, in lieu of having a person answer the telephone, is much more prevalent in behavioral than physical health settings. More work is needed to determine the effect of this practice on depressed individuals and vulnerable populations.

An embarrassed Australia has apologised to Prime Minister Helen Clark over the circulation of a briefing note outlining her "tight control" and saying her foreign policy outlook was shaped by her anti-Vietnam war views.
A Foreign Affairs Department spokeswoman said the note was an outdated internal draft and its circulation to media at the Pacific Island Forum in Niue was a mistake that was regretted.
"High commissioner John Dauth has apologised to Miss Clark, who has accepted the apology," the spokeswoman said. "Miss Clark has said publicly she regarded the incident as a `pretty minor thing' and that she had `had a bit of a laugh'."
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is understood to be angry about the briefing, which was prepared for journalists covering his first official visit to New Zealand this week and has been made public as he and Miss Clark attended the forum.
Miss Clark shrugged it off, saying it was "a hoot" and joked she had similar notes about him.
The background papers, prepared for Australian media, say Miss Clark does not trust anyone outside her closely knit Beehive coterie, and oversees every facet of government.
"She is renowned for her managerial skills, the discipline she demands from those around her and her tight control of all things Labour undertakes under her leadership.
"She holds generally leftwing beliefs with foreign policy perspectives forged during the Vietnam war.
"She does not trust those outside the small circle in Labour and her chief-of-staff, Heather Simpson, is known as the second most powerful person in New Zealand [known as H2]."
Miss Clark laughed off the description yesterday but refused to say whether she felt it was accurate.
"I thought it was quite funny, but as I say, if I was to have my CVs of other leaders fall off the back of trucks, you'd all have a lot of laughs as well." She said she was not offended, but surprised the briefing appeared to be old.
The Australian comments echo a pen portrait of Miss Clark written by leading Wellington lobbyist Mark Unsworth in 2006, which described her as "intelligent rather than brilliant" and a "control freak".
It is not the first time Australian officials have been left red-faced over their too-frank descriptions of leading politicians.
In 1997, a confidential 93-page paper marked "AUSTEO" (for Australian Eyes Only) described deputy prime minister at the time Winston Peters as "a loose cannon" and an "opportunist" who was yet to shake off his reputation for laziness, inattention to detail and erratic behaviour - though he was also described as having a commanding presence and impressive physique.

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Ovie Soko scored a game-high 22 points and had eight rebounds as he guided the Duquesne Dukes to a decisive 79-55 victory over the Appalachian State Mountaineers in a non-conference game at the A.J. Palumbo Center.
Tra'Vaughn White scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds in 19 minutes of action for the Dukes (7-5). Dominique McKoy scored 10 and had six rebounds to contribute to Duquesne's 52-33 overall rebounding edge for the game.
For the Mountaineers (4-9), Tab Hamilton led the way with 18 points while Chris Burgess and Jay Canty scored 12 points apiece. Michael Obacha and Tommy Spagnolo were the only Mountaineers to hit over half their field goal attempts, but both shot just 2-of-3 for the game. They did get the bulk of the teams rebounds as well, with Spagnolo grabbing 10 and Obacha seven.
The first half ended with the Dukes in clear control, holding a 49-24 advantage. The Dukes shot 48.5 percent from the field compared to just 29.4 percent for the Mountaineers in the opening period. Duquesne also took 16 free-throws compared to just one by its opposition.
The Mountaineers won the second half, 31-30, but never really threatened to retake the lead despite the Dukes clearing their bench and playing 11 players at least four minutes.
The Dukes bench outscored the Mountaineers' reserves, 32-7.

With home improvement projects trending up, and more and more single women owning their own homes, many women are creating projects ranging from building small furniture to adding details like crown moulding. Women are finding satisfaction in creating something with their own hands, and with the use of power and woodworking tools.

The overall largest canyon in the world is the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide at the widest points and averages a mile deep.Know More
The Grand Canyon is contained within a 1,904-square-mile park divided into a North Rim and a South Rim section. Visitors looking down from the rim of the canyon can see several buttes, spires and mesas. These formations are actually mountains that are over 2,000 feet tall.
Though the Grand Canyon is very deep, the Cotahusi Canyon in Peru is the deepest in the world, boasting a depth of over 2 miles.Learn more in Geology
The Grand Canyon is 1,904 square miles, or 1,218,375.54 acres. Another common standard for canyons is "river miles," indicating the length of the river which snakes along the bottom of the canyon; in this case, it is the Colorado River. By this standard, the Grand Canyon is 277 miles long.Full Answer >

The Role of the Media in the Rwandan Genocide (CD-ROM)Gerald Caplan, Firoze Manji
CD-ROM Published: 01/01/2003
- Not in our warehouse
The 1994 genocide in Rwanda provides a telling case study of two quite separate roles for media in a conflict situation. The genocide was among the most appalling catastrophes of the 20th century, and media played a significant part both internally and internationally. Prior to the genocide, radio stations and newspapers were carefully used by the conspirators to dehumanise the potential victims, Rwanda's Tutsi minority. During the genocide, radio was used by the Hutu extremist conspirators to mobilise the Hutu majority, to coordinate the killings and to ensure that the plans for extermination were faithfully executed.While a series of terrible massacres of Tutsi were carried out and as the signs of ever-increasing violence grew, Rwanda was totally ignored by the international media. When the genocide came, the erratic media coverage largely conveyed the false notion of two 'tribes' of African 'savages' mindlessly slaughtering each other as they had done from time immemorial. As a result, there was little public pressure in the West for governments to intervene.In this CD-ROM, you will study these two facets of the media role in the genocide in detail. You will see how easily the concept of free speech and free press in a local situation can be perverted for foul ends. We will ask how this dilemma could be resolved. We will explore the problem of inadequate or even distorted international coverage of crises and conflicts in areas poorly understood by Western journalists. We will consider whether this unfortunate situation can be improved in the future. The CD-ROM has been developed for journalists and other professionals in the field of media, students of journalism, NGO staff and policy makers.

It was only a matter of time. At first, the Celine Trio Bag flew under the radar – with its small proportion and ultra-minimal look, the bag wasn't the kind of blockbuster that the Luggage Tote and Trapeze were, but it also wasn't meant to be.
Celine Handbags and Purses(Page 6)
Until I stumbled upon this picture of a Celine Woven Luggage Tote in Style.com's Fall 2013 accessories listing, it hadn't occurred to me that Celine, for all the different iterations of the famous Luggage Tote that its produced over the bag's short life, has never gotten particularly adventurous.
Dakota Fanning was recently spotted in NYC carrying a Celine Trio Bag – the same Celine bag we spotted Kourtney Kardashian with last month. As far as Celine bags go, this one is certainly the most inconspicuous of the lot, which one can appreciate now that every celeb on the planet can lay claim to a Celine Phantom Luggage Tote or two.
It's that time of the season again! Although the Celine Fall 2013 lookbook isn't readily available on the front page of Celine's website, we did a little digging and found all the press images of the collection, including the wood-grain Phantom Luggage Tote and Classic Box Bag that the press was absolutely giddy over at the collection's press preview several months ago.
Khloe Kardashian is acquiring quite an impressive collection of Celine bags – here she is carrying a pale yellow Celine Luggage Tote after leaving a business meeting with sister Kim and momager Kris. Earlier this year we spotted her on the sidelines of a Clippers game with a very enviable python flap Celine trapeze bag.
Here's Hilary Duff, taking a break from balancing her baby boy Luca on her hip to taunt us with yet another Celine Luggage Tote that she's added to the hoard. This tricolor Celine appears to be the very latest addition to Hilary's rather premium designer bag collection – you can get a glimpse of her many other Celines, Chanels, and Goyards in "The Many Bags of Hilary Duff"!
Here's yet another high profile celeb, swapping out her standard Hermes Birkin for a Celine bag. (The Celine Phantom Luggage Tote, to be exact.) Heiress Tamara Ecclestone looked dressed for a gym for bikers when she was spotted with her Celine in Beverly Hills.
Real Housewife and lady entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel is hardly ever seen without an Hermes Birkin, but is it possible her Birkin fatigue is as advanced as everyone else's? (Our "The Many Bags of Bethenny Frankel" post was almost 50% Hermes Birkins.
If you've ever bought a Celine bag (and a lot of you have), you know it can be a complicated and, at times, frustrating process. When the Celine Luggage Tote first gained popularity several years ago, the brand forbade retailers from selling its wares online, which drove bag lovers to call and visit any number of department stores and boutiques in search of the right bag in the right color.
Here's Kourtney Kardashian in Beverly Hills, rocking a striped (hot)pants suit while filming a scene for the upcoming eighth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Her bag is a Celine Trio Bag, which is made up of three separate pouches that snap together, but can also be used separately, sans strap.

By and large, the focus on the Red Sox' early offseason has been on what the team might lose and the efforts to replace potentially departed free agents on a position-by-position basis. Might the team be able to lure Brian McCann to replace a Jarrod Saltalamacchia as catcher? (No.) Might the team commit to Jackie Bradley Jr. in center if Jacoby Ellsbury leaves as a free agent? Could the team consider replacing Mike Napoli at first by signing Carlos Beltran to play left and having Daniel Nava and Mike Carp play first base?
These are all fair areas of inquiry. But one overlooked aspect in the exercise of the Sox' construction of a 2014 roster has been the possibility of internal improvement.
There is good reason for this. There is a very real possibility that the team could be in line for regression rather than improvement at some of its positions. But at one spot on the diamond, there's a very good chance that the team will be better than it was in 2013.
Here's a look at the Red Sox' lines at each position last year -- including the positional OPS+, which measures the combined on-base and slugging percentages relative to league average at each position in the American League, with 100 representing average, and a number above 100 representing an above-average performance:
Catcher: .270/.334/.453, 125 OPS+
First base: .262/.361/.480, 117
Second base: .302/.372/.441, 122
Third base: .242/.288/.395, 85
Shortstop: .263/.340/.431, 126
Left field: .278/.356/.434, 116
Center field: .292/.348/.425, 112
Right field: .285/.350/.436, 108
Designated hitter: .310/.398/.560, 163
As is often the case in these positional breakdowns, the first conclusion is that David Ortiz is a bad, bad man, whose batter's box impact on the lineup is incomparable. To find the prior instance of the Sox owning an OPS+ of 160 or better at any given position, it's necessary to wind back the clock 25 years, when Wade Boggs (in a year when he hit .364/.472/.488) led the team to a 166 OPS+ at third base.
The second item that stands out from that positional breakdown is at Boggs' erstwhile position. The lone position where the Sox were worse than league average was at third base, where the team's .242 average, .288 OBP and .395 slugging mark came up short, across the board, of the league average of .261/.323/.419.
In 2014, the Red Sox anticipate that they'll enjoy meaningful improvement at that position. And they think they will get it even if they don't make an offseason move at third, given the anticipated rebound of Will Middlebrooks and the potential contributions of Xander Bogaerts at that position.
"We think if we do nothing, we'll get more out of third base than we did this year. That's our hope and expectation given the players that are here," general manager Ben Cherington said Monday night. "We'd like to add some, at least somebody on the left side of the infield. Whether that's more in the form of an everyday player or depth, whatever that is, it just depends on how the rest of our offseason unfolds."
Middlebrooks, in particular, represents a fascinating and potentially pivotal player for the Red Sox as they try to define their shape heading into next year. At the start of 2013, he represented a team cornerstone, the player whose wildly successful rookie season (.288 average, .325 OBP, .509 slugging, 15 homers in 75 games) served as the basis for his place in the fifth spot in the lineup on Opening Day in New York.
In the sixth game of the season, he slammed three homers. But from there, his production steadily eroded, to the point where he sank in the Sox lineup before finally getting displaced, first as an everyday player and then as a big leaguer, by Jose Iglesias.
Upon his return from Triple-A Pawtucket, Middlebrooks caught fire for a period of a couple weeks before once again struggling down the stretch and ultimately getting displaced by Bogaerts as the starting third baseman in the middle of the ALCS.
Middlebrooks said that one of the key lessons of the year was "not riding the roller coaster mentally. ... It's pretty hard not to for anybody. We're human. We want to do well. we don't want to struggle, we don't want to get sent down. We don't want to go through that. Just being as consistent as I can in every part of my game is what I learn I need to do."
The team believes he's capable of doing that, and there are some reasons to believe that such a development is possible. For starters, there's the prospect that Middlebrooks will be more productive with improved health going forward. He was impacted in varying degrees by a lower back strain for a significant portion of the year -- an injury that forced him to the DL in late May and that opened the door for Iglesias -- as well as a separated rib in May. Meanwhile, there were stretches that pointed to the same upside he displayed in 2012 -- albeit on a less consistent basis than in 2012.
And his ability to do so could be significant. Cherington acknowledged that the team would like to add power this offseason, and Middlebrooks -- who does not merely have 25-30 homer potential but who has hit 32 career homers in 169 games -- could offer a meaningful source of that.
So could Bogaerts. Most view the 21-year-old as a rare impact player, whether at the most production-starved position on the field (shortstop) or, if the Sox do something like re-signing Stephen Drew, at third. But if Bogaerts is at third, that would create uncertainty about Middlebrooks' role.
That's not a matter with which the 25-year-old is concerning himself. He is staying in Boston this offseason, working out both at Fenway and at the facility of team strength and conditioning consultant Mike Boyle, focused on positioning himself to be ready for 2014. He is not contemplating the possibility of spending some time at first base (as a potential right-handed platoon complement to Daniel Nava and/or Mike Carp). Nor is he doubting his future with the Red Sox.
"I think any player that experiences playing in Boston, playing at Fenway Park in front of those fans, wants to play here for their whole career. I've been lucky enough to come up here through the system and I want nothing more than to stay here," Middlebrooks said on WEEI's Planet Mikey on Monday night. "As of now, I'm getting ready to be a third baseman [next] year. That's all I can worry about."
For the Red Sox, right now, thinking about what Middlebrooks and Bogaerts might offer next year represents less an exercise in worry than possibility, a way of upgrading in one area without wading into free agency.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.

Weekdays at 9am on 92.3 KTAR
Bruce St. James and Pamela Hughes
Raise minimum wage? Almost everyone already makes more
The President called for a raise in the minimum wage during his State Of The Union speech and elicited the predictable cheers from Democrats and head shaking from Republicans.
I wondered just how many people actually work for the minimum wage to better understand the effect it has on workers. The results were nothing short of eye opening.
According to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics from 2011), there are 73.9 million Americans who work for an hourly wage, making up 59.1 percent of the labor force. Of those, 1.7 million earned the exact federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, which works out to 2.3 percent of hourly workers are paid "minimum wage."
This begs the question, why on Earth do 97.7 percent of employers OVERPAY their hourly workers?
I mean, the minimum wage is there to prevent slave labor and "evil" business from taking advantage of the "working man/woman," so why aren't they taking more advantage? Do you mean to tell me that some (read 97.7 percent) of employers voluntarily choose to compete for workers' labor and skills and do so by offering increased wages? You mean capitalism works, without government interference? Try telling that to President Obama and the Congressional Democrats who are trying to save the 2.3 percent of you being taken advantage of.
And if you are one of the 2.3 percent making $7.25 an hour, might I suggest asking your co-workers how they managed to create value for themselves in your employer's eyes, as opposed to waiting for government to save you.
