Indians look to punctuate trip with sweep of Angels
Ten days after last meeting, Masterson, Williams square off in Anaheim
The Indians will look to wrap up a successful road trip on Wednesday as they go for a three-game sweep of the Angels.
After a disappointing 1-6 homestand last week, Cleveland has turned things around on the road with a 5-3 mark during a nine-game trip. The Indians battled through a 4-1 victory in 14 innings on Tuesday and are 3 1/2 games out of a Wild Card spot in the American League and 5 1/2 games back in the AL Central.
"This thing ain't over," Indians first baseman Nick Swisher said after Monday's 5-2 win. "There's no doubt about that."
The Indians have won three of their past four road series, and will go for their first sweep in nearly three weeks with Justin Masterson on the mound. Masterson is 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA in 26 starts this season.
Masterson struggled against the Angels 10 days ago in Cleveland, charged with five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings on Aug. 11. Still, he's never lost to Anaheim and is 3-0 with a 2.59 ERA in 11 career appearances (eight starts) against the Halos.
The Angels, meanwhile, have lost three straight games and eight of their past 10. They are 1-4 on their brief six-game homestand.
While the Angels have been disappointing this season, manager Mike Scioscia hasn't seen any quit from his club. That was evident Tuesday night in the extra-innings loss.
"They're playing hard," Scoiscia said. "These guys are baseball players. They're going to play hard. We just want to get a little momentum going, set up some games on our terms, hold leads and these young guys are going to get a chance to do that."
Jerome Williams will look to create that momentum for the Angels on Wednesday, as he gets the ball for his 19th start of the season. Williams has moved between the bullpen and rotation this season, and is 4-9 with a 5.55 ERA as a starter.
Williams has struggled at home, going 2-7 with a 5.43 ERA in 16 games. The right-hander also opposed Masterson 10 days ago in Cleveland, allowing four runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts.
Indians: Brantley continues error-free streak
Left fielder Michael Brantley has gone 214 consecutive games without an error, a franchise record. Brantley broke Rocky Colavito's mark of 212 games without an error on Monday, and turned in another clean game Tuesday.
"He's just very consistent and he never takes a play off," said manager Terry Francona. "He's a talented outfielder, but he never takes a play off. He thinks ahead. He throws to the right base, and he's very accurate. He's just a real solid player."
Brantley also has 10 outfield assists, tied for the most among AL left fielders with Kansas City's Alex Gordon. Brantley needs one more assist to tie Albert Belle for the most in one season by a Cleveland left fielder sine 1996, when Belle had 11.
• Utility man Ryan Raburn continues to deal with a sore right calf and has started just three of the Indians' past 13 games. Raburn is tied for the team lead with 15 home runs.
Angels: Trout still bothered by hamstring
Mike Trout missed his second game in as many days Tuesday, the result of a tight right hamstring, and the outfielder is unsure if he will be able to play on Wednesday.
"It feels a lot better than it was," Trout said Tuesday. "But it's one of those things that, for me, I don't want to be out there thinking about it. So I'll just give it one more day and see how it goes."
Trout exited Sunday's game in the sixth inning. Scioscia won't start Trout until the 22-year-old proves he can run the bases, something he was unable to do Tuesday.
In 122 games this season, Trout is hitting .333 with 21 homers and 78 RBIs. He has reached base in 40 consecutive games, the second longest streak in Angels history.
Worth noting
• Angels outfielder/first baseman Mark Trumbo is one homer shy of reaching 30 for the second consecutive season.
• The Indians have stolen six bases in their past 16 games since stealing six on Aug. 3 in Miami.

Customer Reviews
- Can't go a day without this! Review by Susan
Price Value Quality Photodynamic therapy has totally changed my skin. The age spots are gone, the texture is improved. Laser in a bottle!
- love this stuff Review by kesha
Price Value Quality The best products I've ever used . My skin looks so amazing .It's only been over two monts but if it stays this way it will be years
- Amazing Results! Review by JANET
Quality Price Value Began using this product when we went to Florida for a week in January. Within a few days my skin was glowing, more even and tighter. The most amazing thing was that my neck and chest which usually look worse after being in the sun no matter how much I reapply sunscreen, actually looked better when we returned from the trip. Brown spots on my chest were literally gone and my neck skin was tighter! I have very fair sensitive skin and have always had trouble finding a sunscreen that not only protected me but also didn't irritate my skin. I never imagined I would find a sunscreen that did all that plus improved the look of my skin! I am in my 50s and I can't say enough about this product! It is well worth the price!
- I really like it! Review by AV in Baton Rouge,Louisiana
Price Value Quality I have been using samples and I have decided I must have this! I really like the smell, feel, texture and that its the perfect amount of moisture! The price point is pretty high! But a girl will pay anything to have healthy skin!
- Love it! Review by Washington, DC
Quality Price Value 33 yo, used for about 2 months. Noticed that my complexion is more even and definitely brighter. Helped with fine lines as well. I thought this product was better and lasted longer than my previous product (Olay DNA superstructure cream) Definitely recommend!
- I Had to Have It Review by Eileen
Quality Price Value I started using this a year ago. I have reorderd it twice, and recently ran out again. I thought I could make do with something else, but what a mistake. I lost the radiance and smoothness I had come to expect. Even though I hate the price, I love the results. Gotta have it!
- Not sure if it's helping? Packaging is a problem Review by Mel
Quality Price Value I've used one bottle of this product and while I like the texture and think it's a nice sunblock, I'm not sure if it's doing much to my skin.
I have pretty good skin, I'm lucky. BUT I do have some melasma and I keep trying products (and giving them a fair shake) to get rid of that. This hasn't made a difference, not that I can see yet. I had a windfall this weekend so decided to buy another bottle to give it more time to work on my trouble spots - but this product is super expensive. If I don't see any change in my skin I'll have to stop using this.
Also, the packaging. It's fragile and touchy. I dropped my last bottle and the top shattered. No way to put the pump mechanism back on the top. This meant that a) it was difficult to get the end of the product out of the bottle and b) the product dried up and would no longer apply properly when I did manage to get it out. What a waste of a pricey cream! :( - Terrific Results Review by Bonnielou from the Northeast
Quality Price Value Like others, I too see an amazing difference in my skin with fewer lines and wrinkles, smooth, even toned texture. I truly look and feel more youthful at 44. I could pass for 33 easy!! :)
People close to me (and strangers) have been saying they have never seen my skin look so beautiful. I say-it's the Dermadoctor! Go buy it and you will have beautiful skin too! Bottom line, the products produce! - WOW! Review by East Longmeadow, MA USA
Value Quality Price I started using this product 4 days agao and already see a difference! My skin tone is starting to even out, my pores appear smaller and my skin is perfectly mosturized. I LOVE this product!! I would highly reccommend this to anyone who who needs to improve their overall skin appearence. Thank you, Dermadoctor!
- Astonishing!! Review by CRL, North Dakota
Value Quality Price You will be astonished! My eyes have firmed up and all fine lines have diminished. Skin is healthier. All I had to do was apply this product. I'm 55 years old

"This was the perfect colorful announcement for my winter baby girl! Feminine without the floral. It was nice to be able to feature a small photo of our new family on the back opposite of the larger photo of our precious baby girl."
"Everyone loved our cards, it came out better than we imagined. The customer service was top notch! I enjoyed working with Tiny prints for our first newborn announcement cards. Exceptional quality and great service!!"
"My cards came out adorable! Remember to order the modified envelopes or you will pay extra shipping! I paid 70cents to mail each one instead of 49 cents"
"This card was absolutely beautiful! My baby was born in November and thought a birth announcement/Christmas card would be best. I chose the red with black snowflakes. The red was perfect because it was more of a pomegranate red...not a bright Christmas red. I paired the card with brown envelopes, stripped pomegranate red envelope insert, and the matching return address labels. I received a lot of compliments on everything. My only complaint would be the picture looked a little grainy. I ended up selecting the pearl white shimmer paper, and I don't know if it was due to the type of paper or poor printing, which is why I gave both 4 stars. However, I would definitely recommend this card."
"We used this for the birth announcement of our sweet girl. They came out beautifully. I usually am a big fan of the pearl paper but I do feel that in this case it took away from the overall look."

Federal Housing Subsidies are Insane
A New York Times report on the Federal Housing Administration's subsidies for higher-priced real estate reveals the insanity of federal housing policies.

Cost Overruns: It's the Same in Britain
The Taxpayers' Alliance has published a new study examining a sample of 240 government capital projects in Britain, including weapons systems, highway projects, computer upgrades, health care spending, and other items. The results mirror the serious cost overrun problems we have in the U.S. federal government.
$98 Billion in Improper Payments
The Obama administration and its allies in Congress want the federal government to expand its role in subsidizing health care. We are told that this expansion will restrain rising health care costs. But an OMB report yesterday that the government made $98 billion in improper payments last year – $55 billion of which came from Medicare and Medicaid – ought to raise suspicions about that claim.
Government Mail Loses $3.8 Billion
The U.S. Postal Service reported that it lost $3.8 billion last fiscal year and that it expects to lose $7.8 billion this year. The loss occurred despite cost-cutting measures and legislation that allowed the USPS to forgo $4 billion in required payments to pre-fund retiree health benefits.

Purely Jewellery |
Thank you for dropping by to Purely Jewellery. We have been on the internet quite a long time but have decided that instead of having almost a dozen websites devoted to beautiful jewellery, we'd have 4 larger sites that would enable us to have a wider range of pieces from more designer ranges and improving the ease of browsing for everyone looking for stylish fashion items. With this in mind, take a look at the sites below and feel free to go to the larger sites and I hope you like what you see. Also, something we have done very recently is create a couple of new sites. One of the sites is to provide information on jewellery - giving details and things of interest (hopefully you'll find this so!). The site is Toto jewellery - take a look and let us know what you think. The second new site is called All 4 Jewellery and what we have done is collected some of the special deals that we are able to offer and keep them in one place. Cheap jewellery is here which is always handy. Another all time favourite is going to be showcased on a new site that is now running - children's jewellery from Hello Mia! As you can guess...it's a jewellery site that is all for children. Sure, we have a kids site already but this one is different...take a look and see what you think. As always - suggestions are always welcome! |

MarjidGranville, OHCan't Live Without This Travel MirrorForgot my Luxor Power-Mag travel mirror when packing for a recent trip. The high-end hotel we stayed at amazingly did not have makeup mirrors. So I immediately asked folica to overnight me 3 of them. Now I am leaving one in each of my suitcases so I never forget this wonderful mirror again. If you are old enough to need reading glasses, you will wonder how you ever got along without this. Great gifts for your friends too!posted Aug 19, 2013Link to this post
Taylor J.These Mirrors RockI love these mirrors. They are small enough to not be a burden but big enough to do its job. I love the color and each mirror has its own plastic case. I ordered 10 and one came in broken, so I called them up and they sent me a new one with no problems at all. Great customer serviceposted Mar 22, 2012Link to this post
SandyLuxor Power-mag Travel MirrorThis travel mirror didn't meet my expectations and the hinge broke when the product was quite new. Disappointing.
For a travel mirror, it is bigger than needed. Size: 5.5" x 6.5" x 5/8" based on my measurements.
With broken hinges, my Luxor Power-Mag is grounded :-(posted Dec 12, 2010Link to this post -
Lori H.WyomingGreat Find.After reading all the reviews I decided this was the mirror I had been looking for. I ordered several and I was happy with the construction and overall quality and clarity of the mirror. Although I found that the 7X just was not strong enough for my poor eyesight, I would recommend this mirror to others and know that they would not be disappointed with the quality or clarity of the mirror.posted Oct 10, 2010Link to this post
LucyBest Travel Mirror Ever!!!!I love this travel mirror! Lightweight, sturdy, perfect size, and great value. For all those who try applying makeup using a compact mirror you just have to buy this. You know they NEVER consider women's needs in hotel rooms. No more relying on a hotel to provide you with what you need the most, a good mirror YOU can place in the best light.posted Apr 10, 2010Link to this post
AnnGreat ProductI bought this mirrow to put on mascara since my eyesight is not as good as it should be due to weak focusing muscles ;it is bigger than i wanted for travel especially traveling by motorcycle, but it is still a great mirror and i am very pleased with it;;posted Mar 16, 2010Link to this post
SandyMercer Island, WA 98040Luxor Power-mag Travel MirrorAlthough this mirror is bigger than what I usually travel with, I wish I had packed it for my last trip. It has a magnifying side and a regular side and folds. While traveling in Guatemala, we were sometimes sharing a bathroom and often rooms didn't have a mirror. This mirror would have been great for morning make-up after showering.posted Jan 17, 2010Link to this post
WendySouthern CaliforniaVery Nice MirrorI ordered this on Thursday and got it on Saturday! Thats fast delivery! The mirror is very very nice and I would recommend it to everyone, however, I think it may be a bit too heavy for travel. But the quality is excellent and is nice for home usage.posted Jun 6, 2009Link to this post
KarenMinnesotaKaren From Mn.Quite a few years ago I had a mirror like this and I lost it before Christmas! I searched all over until I found Folica.com and this travel mirror.I recently recd the two that I ordered and I am planning on purchasing more for family and friends. It folds flat,stands up, fits in your purse or carry on bags. It is alsonice to take in to clothing stores that refuse to place 3-way mirrors in their stores. You wont regret your purchase!posted Feb 25, 2009Link to this post
CI Love This Mirror; Give It As Gifts!I travel 99% of the time for my job. On airplanes constantly. This little mirror is excellent. I bought 12 of them last year to give as Christmas gifts to Mom, sisters, and girlfriends with a not inside about "the woman in this mirror". The only improvement would be another version with 10x on the magnified side (some of us are older with worsening eyesight...)posted Apr 12, 2008Link to this post

Gallery: SMPL Design Studio's Latest Energy-Efficient Prefab Duplex is ...
The four modules were constructed inside in a controlled climate before being trucked to Yellowknife where they were installed in below freezing conditions.
The YK Duplex 2 was constructed at SMPLy Mod Prefab Homes' factories, which are located north of Edmonton, Alberta. Design was handled by their sister company SMPL Design Studio and developed by ModHome. The four modules were constructed inside in a controlled climate before being trucked to Yellowknife where they were installed in below freezing conditions. Prefab construction allows homes to be well-built in harsh climates by reducing time spent outdoors.

(from wikipedia)between 2001 and 2003 with the Pittsburgh Steelers; under Clements's tutelage, the Chiefs' Elvis Grbac (in 2000) and the Steelers' Kordell Stewart (in 2001) and Tommy Maddox (in 2002) each reached the Pro Bowl.
as well as this one (also from wikipedia)
In Week 17 of the 2011 season, after the Packers went 14-1, head coach Mike McCarthy chose to deactivate Rodgers to keep him healthy for the playoffs and start backup quarterback, Matt Flynn, on January 1, 2012 at Lambeau Field vs. the Detroit Lions, Flynn's second start in his career. Throughout the game, Clements worked with Flynn on the sidelines, showing him what to look for in the photos from the previous offensive series. Flynn had a record setting performance, throwing for 480 yards and 6 touchdowns, both single game records for the Green Bay Packers.
In my opinion i think Clements is doing a good job as the OC in GB this year and deserves a shot as a HC, and i think the panthers should finally look for an offensive, QB minded coach instead of a defensive minded one. Him and Shaw are my top two candidates for the job.

Egypt Divided
View photo details
January 23, 2013
by Moises Saman
The past two years in Egyptian politics have been something of a melodrama, whose story lines are peppered with violence and intrigue, set to a backdrop of urban Cairo. Curtains opened with the revolution's early days and the toppling of Hosni Mubarak; then came the military-led transition, and an election that brought the Muslim Brotherhood and Mohamed Morsi to power. But the next act in this political spectacle may be the hardest yet to predict.
To the many Egyptians already wary of Islamist rule, President Morsi's aggressive move to consolidate his power brought back memories of Mubarak's old ways, this time with added religious dimensions to the leadership's agenda. Indeed, the new president has fallen prey to the complexities of bringing Egypt out of decades of dictatorship and neglect, and continues to face a restless population clamoring for change.
As the second anniversary of Egypt's revolution approaches, Tahrir Square is again closed to traffic, paralyzed by demonstrations. The scenery hasn't seemed to have changed much since January 25th 2010, as the revolution brought untold divisions to the surface, and gave weight to a ceaseless list of grievances that had long been dormant or ignored. But such is the way of a young democracy: it often succumbs to growing pains, the frustration that comes with reconciling its vision of what it wants to be with the reality that these things do take time. Nations evolve from that which they glean from cycles of triumph and despair, and it is up to Morsi to refrain from falling back on the tactics of his predecessor.

(USA TODAY) GAZA CITY -- Hamas said a truce had been reached between Israel and Gaza, though Israel couched the news by saying an agreement was close but not a done deal.
Hamas official Ayman Taha said the truce would go into effect early Wednesday, according to Reuters news service.
However, Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, refused to confirm the that cease-fire was settled on. He said Netanyahu would be coming outwith a statement soon.
Earlier in the day, Egypt's president said a cease-fire agreement was close to stopping "Israeli aggression" despite the firing of more rockets at Israel on Tuesday, including one toward Jerusalem that exploded outside the city.
President Mohammed Morsi issued his statement to reporters in the city of Zagazig, the Egyptian state news agency MENA reported. He said negotiations between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers will yield "positive results" Tuesday, but he would not elaborate.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was scheduled to arrive in the region Tuesday to help with diplomatic efforts to seek a truce.
But Hamas' top military commander, Mohammed Deif, urged Hamas on Tuesday to keep up the attacks on Israel, saying Hamas "must invest all resources to uproot this aggressor from our land," a reference to Israel. He spoke on Hamas-run TV and radio from hiding.
There was no let-up in terror attacks against Israel, as dozens of rockets were fired in the morning at southern Israeli towns and one streaked near Jerusalem. People ran for safety or dropped to the ground in the Israeli capital as the sirens wailed.
Parents "abandoned their cars in the middle of the street and ran with their children," said Uriel Laloum, school security guard at the Efrata Elementary School.
"The younger children were especially upset," said Laloum of the school, which was crowded with people attending parent-teacher conferences. "Many were crying."
Several rockets fired from Gaza landed not in Israel but in the territory of the West Bank, near Bethlehem, where Palestinians live. One landed between two Arab villages near Gush Etzion, 15 minutes' drive south of Jerusalem.
Some Palestinians in East Jerusalem were worried.
"We hope that something will happen soon," said Samir Abu Khalaf, a resident of Beit Hanina in East Jerusalem. "Everybody, the people here in East Jerusalem, they don't like to make problems and we are concerned for our children.
"We want a solution immediately," he said. "Morsi has to push Hamas and Israel.
The Israeli Defense Forces said 48 rockets fired from Gaza on Tuesday landed inside Israel as of 5 p.m. local time, on top of 51 rockets that were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome system.
Israeli aircraft flew more attack missions to stop the rockets and hit terrorists and their facilities. The jets pounded the headquarters of a Hamas bank.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the rocket aimed at Jerusalem apparently did not strike the city and authorities are searching for the blast site, the Associated Press reported.
FULL COVERAGE: Latest developments on Israel-Gaza conflict It's the second rocket attack aimed at Jerusalem since a round of fighting broke out between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza last Wednesday. Jerusalem, nearly 50 miles from Gaza, is the most distant city the terrorists have targeted.
In Gaza City, meanwhile, the Israeli strike on the Islamic National Bank was part of an escalating Israeli assault against Gaza terrorists meant to quell rocket attacks on Israeli cities. The bank was set up to evade international sanctions on its rule.
Hamas leaders said during cease-fire talks that they would not end the rocket attacks unless Israel ended a blockade of Gaza borders that it maintains to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists.
The standoff was being discussed in Cairo where diplomats from Egypt and Turkey were in talks with Hamas about a cease-fire. An Israeli official was in Cairo, but the Israeli government would not comment.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, who is in Cairo on an emergency mission to negotiate a truce, said that the situation was "alarming."
"This must stop, immediate steps are needed to avoid further escalation, including a ground operation," Ban said from Cairo. "Both sides must hold fire immediately. ... Further escalation of the situation could put the entire region at risk."
On Tuesday, the White House said that President Obama is sending Clinton to the Middle East in hopes that she can help mediate the conflict. Clinton will begin by meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
By Tuesday, civilians accounted for 54 of the 113 Palestinians killed since Israeli airstrikes began last Wednesday in response to the launching of nearly 200 rockets against Israeli towns. Some 840 people have been wounded, including 225 children, Gaza health officials said.
Israel has said that Hamas bears responsibility for the deaths of civilians because terrorists are using civilians as shields.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Qandil told Reuters that a cease-fire agreement may be signed soon. "I think we are close, but this kind of negotiations is very difficult, and it is hard to make predictions."
But the leader of Hamas rejected Israel's demands that the group stop its rocket fire. Instead, Khaled Mashaal said Israel must meet Hamas' demands for a lifting of the blockade of Gaza.
"We don't accept Israeli conditions because it is the aggressor," he told reporters in Egypt. "We want a cease-fire along with meeting our demands."
An Israeli official said Israel hoped to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis as well and signaled Egypt was likely to play a key role in enforcing any truce.
"We prefer the diplomatic solution if it's possible. If we see it's not going to bear fruit, we can escalate," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive diplomatic efforts underway.
If the rockets continue, a ground invasion may be launched to stop the missiles, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Some analysts say such a course carries a risk for Israel.
"I think for Hamas the risk of a ground invasion is that they basically get dominated on the battlefield and that is likely what would happen," said Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington. "But on the Israeli side there is some real risk, too. The longer (Netanyahu) stays in this war, the greater the possibility that something goes wrong... unwelcome civilian casualties could potentially hurt him."
One of the Israeli airstrikes Monday hit a Hamas television building that had been struck previously over the weekend, killing four members of Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group that is backed by Iran, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced.
The four targeted terrorists included Baha Abu el Ata, a Gaza brigade commander involved in firing rockets into southern Israel; Tyseer Abu Al Ata, a senior Islamic Jihad member; and Halil Bahatini, involved in the Islamic Jihad's long-range rocket launchings.
Islamic Jihad announced on a website that commander Ramez Harb was killed in the strike, which the IDF said was a significant operation involving intense intelligence efforts.
The IDF said the men were involved in getting into Gaza the long-range Fajr-5 rockets that are made in Iran and sneaked into Gaza through smuggling tunnels from Egypt. These rockets have a much wider range than other rockets of Hamas and can reach almost anywhere in Israel.
It is those missiles that Israel has been targeting and hoping to destroy, according to the IDF.
Israel has also been attacking homes of activists in Hamas, which has orchestrated the firing of more than 1,100 rockets into Israel, the IDF said. Israel's Iron Dome defensive missile system has shot down 320 of the rockets, the IDF said.
About 75 Hamas rockets were fired Monday, among them one that hit an empty school. Others hit a house and a yard.
In Gaza, some people were moving deeper into the territory to try and avoid Israeli airstrikes.

"But given that the whole of Gaza Strip is an area of just around (215 square miles) their attempts of moving away from the border does not make such a big difference in terms of safety," said Sukrit Kapoor, a lawyer with the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza.
Power outages can last 10 hours a day. "When the power cuts happen during the day, we can manage," said Soad Al Tartor, a mother of five. "But when it cuts out at night, the house is dark and the sounds of the explosions heightens the fear among us."
"When the power cuts happen during the day, we can manage," said Soad Al Tartor, a mother of five. "But when it cuts out at night, the house is dark and the sounds of the explosions heightens the fear among us."
Many Gazans rely on generators for electricity, but gas stations have run dry.
"I spend half of my day searching for fuel," taxi driver Ahmed Abu Amra said.
In Ashkelon in southern Israel "Code Red" sirens sounded throughout Monday in cities, towns and open areas.
Even though the Iron Dome defense system intercepted most of the projectiles, there were several direct hits on buildings and yards. A handful of people were injured and many were dealing with shock from the constant blasts, said Benny Vaknin, mayor of Ashkelon.
The mayor spoke while looking over damage to Henry Ronson High School in Ashkelon, where a Hamas-fired rocket had scored a direct hit, bursting through the cement roof of a school walkway.The rocket did not explode and the school was empty at the time.
"The difference between our operation and that of Hamas is that they aim to hit schools and areas crowded with civilians," Vaknin said.
Alerts and air raid sirens were heard throughout the day in Israel's south from Beer Sheva and Sderot all the way up to Ashdod and beyond. There were two rocket interceptions near Tel Aviv.

Any cease-fire deal would draw mixed reviews from the Israeli towns and villages that have been the target of Hamas rockets.
Israelis are solidly behind the military action. Six days into the aerial attack on Gaza, 84% of the Israeli public said it supports so-called Operation Pillar of Defense, according to a Haaretz-Dialog poll taken Sunday.
Oranit Ben-Gira, 25, is among those who supports the military strikes and is against an immediate cease-fire.
"For the past four years we've suffered through rocket fire that's made it impossible to lead normal lives," Ben-Gira said. "We need to do the job in Gaza so we can live in peace."
In Beer Sheva, most of the city's 200,000 residents took shelter in secure rooms, if they had them, or bomb shelters. Hundreds of regular soldiers and reservists waited at Beer Sheva's Central Bus Station for transport to the Gaza border some 25 miles away.
The mostly young men and women in uniform (women are also drafted in Israel) said they were trying to stay upbeat.
"I need to go and help my country any way I can," said Naftali Kassa, 27, a driver in civilian life. His rumpled uniform, taken out of storage, and gray sneakers identified him as a reservist.
Ehud Zion-Waldoks, a university spokesman who moved from Jerusalem to Beer Sheva four months ago, decided to temporarily relocate his wife and three young children from harms ways.
Zion Waldoks returned to Beer Sheva for work this morning, after which five sirens wailed.
"For one siren there were four booms, one of which shook the house," he said. "I feel safe in my house because we have an actual bomb shelter off the kitchen. I don't feel safe outside, going to and from work. My wife, who can't work on her doctorate due to the situation, and kids are now in Jerusalem."
He said his 5-year-old daughter was "a little upset" when a siren sounded in Jerusalem "after we'd told her the rockets couldn't reach there."
Right now he and his wife "take it day by day. We assess every evening what will be done. I don't' know whether this - either not being at home or being at home with five sirens a day - is possible long term."
Hanita Shariki sought shelter at a public bomb shelter in the Central Bus Station, an underground concrete room that can accommodate more than 100 people. She was not in favor of a cease-fire.
"The army mustn't stop until its done the job," she said as she climbed the stairs out of the shelter, the rocket having hit a house.
The Negev desert area, where Beer Sheva is located, is home to nearly 200,000 Bedouin Arabs who live in towns, cities and encampments. Some said they don't like the rocket attacks from Gaza, but their sympathies lie with the Palestinians.
"I wish the army would stop shelling Gaza," said Aisha al Hawasha, 21, a Bedouin student from a village near Dimona.
Dressed in a traditional Muslim head scarf and robe, al Hawasha acknowledged that "it's difficult to live with the rocket fire" from Gaza, but also that it is "difficult to see what is happening to our brothers in Gaza."

Advanced Math/Science Research Update
by Dr. April Burch, Director of the AMSR program
January 15, 2013
Since our last update, Berkshire School hosted student researchers from Belmont Hill, and all-boys prep school outside of Boston, for a 1-day mini-symposium on Student Biomedical Research. The goal was to foster collaboration, communication and community outreach with our students. AMSR students Liza Bernstein '13, Sissi Wang '13, Lars Robinson '13, Elsie Guevara '13, Ernest Yue '13, and Nate MacKenzie '14, gave short talks about their work in the new Bellas/Dixon Math and Science lecture hall. The talks were followed up by break-out sessions where Belmont Hill students described their research projects and students discussed commonalities between the projects and future goals.
The second semester of AMSR started with some terrific news. The AMSR program was awarded a grant from The Chinchester Dupont Foundation for the purchase of an EVOS fluorescence microscope. This piece of equipment will expand the types of experiments and analyses that can be done by AMSR students this and future years. The microscope should arrive shortly, and Dr. Burch has invited everyone to stop in for a look next time they are on campus.
One new, exciting project that is underway in the winter season of AMSR in the afternoons is being spearheaded by Elif Kesaf '14. Elif is from Turkey and seeks to identify novel viruses of non-pathogenic strains of Legionella bacterium from travertines in Pamukkale. In collaboration with Dr. Sunny Shin at the Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she will be working to isolate viruses of this bacterium with the hope of identifying new agents to combat Legionnaires' disease caused by a pathogenic form of Legionella.
Look for more news from Dr. Burch in the next issue!
From Spanish Student to Teacher
Students in Mrs. Anderson's class are also enjoying the experience. Karoline Kreke '13 has found the time with the children very rewarding. She went on to say that she hopes the children will develop an interest for Spanish and that they develop a real passion for learning new languages by the end of the year.
Mrs. Anderson plans to continue this partnership through the end of the year. She sees a real benefit to having her students leave the classroom and use their Spanish knowledge to benefit the education of others. It's also not bad putting a smile on a child's face in the process.

A Lion Among Men (Large Print / Paperback)
"Hardly more than a kitten . . . I had thought to call it Prrr, but it shivers more often than it purrs, so I call it Brrr instead."--From Wicked
Since Wicked was first published in 1995, millions of readers have discovered Gregory Maguire's fantastically encyclopedic Oz, a world filled with characters both familiar and new, darkly conceived and daringly reimagined. In the much-anticipated third volume of the Wicked Years, we return to Oz, seen now through the eyes of the Cowardly Lion--the once tiny cub defended by Elphaba in Wicked.
While civil war looms in Oz, a tetchy oracle named Yackle prepares for death. Before her final hour, an enigmatic figure known as Brrr--the Cowardly Lion--arrives searching for information about Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. As payment, Yackle, who hovered on the sidelines of Elphaba's life, demands some answers of her own.
Brrr surrenders his story to the ailing maunt: Abandoned as a cub, his earliest memories are gluey hazes, and his path from infancy in the Great Gillikin Forest is no Yellow Brick Road. Seeking to redress an early mistake, he trudges through a swamp of ghosts, becomes implicated in a massacre of trolls, and falls in love with a forbidding Cat princess. In the wake of laws that oppress talking Animals, he avoids a jail sentence by agreeing to serve as a lackey to the war-mongering Emperor of Oz.
A Lion Among Men chronicles a battle of wits hastened by the Emerald City's approaching armies. What does the Lion know of the whereabouts of the Witch's boy, Liir? What can Yackle reveal about the auguries of the Clock of the Time Dragon? And what of the Grimmerie, the magic book that vanished as quickly as Elphaba? Is destiny ever arbitrary? Can those tarnished by infamy escape their sobriquets--cowardly, wicked, brainless, criminally earnest--to claim their own histories, to live honorably within their own skins before they're skinned alive?
At once a portrait of a would-be survivor and a panoramic glimpse of a world gone shrill with war fever, Gregory Maguire's new novel is written with the sympathy and power that have made his books contemporary classics.

Praise For…
A New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, Denver Post, and USA Today bestseller
-No Source
"Maguire's work is melodic, symphonic and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. . . . In fabulous details and self-mocking language, Maguire displays his gift for whimsical portrayals of the broken, the powerless, the hopeless, the bad."
-Los Angeles Times
"Much to savor, laugh at, and think about. . . . A page-turning fantasy and a timely political allegory."
-USA Today
"Entertaining....The author mixes some relatively weighty existential themes—the search for self, faith, redemption—into his whimsical story line. [A] darkly enchanting saga"
-Publishers Weekly
"This Oz goes far beyond L. Frank Baum's; it's as surreal as a dream, but as immaculately and impeccably detailed as history. Maguire's wizardlike grasp over every aspect of this reinvented land rivals classic literary landscapes like Tolkien's Middle Earth and Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County."
-Albany Times Union
"So well-crafted that readers of all ages could enjoy witnessing Brrrr's transformation from an insecure kitten in the woods to a compassionate, engaged 'manimal.'"
-Christian Science Monitor
"The third book in Maguire's Wicked Years is at once funny, charming, harrowing, bleak and incredibly beautiful."
-The American Chronicle
"Engrossing...Maguire is a masterful storyteller with an uncanny flair for mixing political and personal while exploring what it means—and what it costs—to be accepted in a society."
-New York Daily News
"As usual, Maguire, a seasoned fabulist, populates his version of Oz with a cast of utterly fantastical characters who must face their own inner demons while tumult and uncertainty rages around them. An absolute must-read for fans of this ever-evolving dark fairy tale."
"The minute you open A Lion Among Men, you're back in Maguire's exquisitely detailed environment, caught up once again in his geography, his characters, his worldview, touched anew by the loneliness that lurks in the heart of all things."
-New Orleans Times-Picayune

Zucchini Ricotta Gnocchi and Corn in Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce with Crispy Crumbled Pancetta
Although I could easily eat the ricotta zucchini gnocchi all by itself I wanted to serve it in a tasty sauce! While I thought about sauces I kept drifting towards one of my favourite summer combos, corn and zucchini, and I liked the sound of the corns sweetness paired with the tasty zucchini gnocchi. I wanted the sauce itself to be fairly light to let the flavour of the gnocchi shine but I also wanted it to be tasty in it's own right so I opted for a mild blue cheese sauce using gorgonzola docle. With the addition of a bit of cream I had a super simple, light and tasty sauce for my zucchini gnocchi and all that was left was to garnish everything with some fresh summer basil and a bit of crispy crumble pancetta. The creamy and tangy blue cheese sauce goes very well with the soft and tasty zucchini ricotta gnocchi and the sweetness of the corn and saltiness of the pancetta play off of their flavours beautifully creating one truly magical summer dish! If you happen to have some more zucchini on hand the addition of some shredded zucchini to the sauce is particularly nice!

Decades-old holiday tradition in Cincinnati is at center of controversy
UPDATED 12:53 PM CST Nov 27, 2013The pastor organizing the annual event is having trouble getting other congregations on board this year.
Video TranscriptTRADITION" IS AT THE CENTER OF CONTROVERSY! CHURCHES IN BELLEVUE, "SAYING NO" TO THE NATIVITY SCENE PROCESSION. THE PASTOR ORGANIZING THE ANNUAL EVENT.... IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING OTHER CONGREGATIONS ON BOARD, THIS YEAR! HE BELIEVES... PART OF THE ISSUE - IS THAT HIS CHURCH ACCEPTS GAY MEMBERS. WLWT NEWS 5'S ALISON MONTOYA... SPOKE WITH THAT PASTOR TONIGHT. ALISON. MIKE AND SHEREE - IF THIS PASTOR DID NOT STEP FORWARD, THE CITY WOULD BE WITHOUT A DISPLAY. BUT TAKE A LOOK IT NOW SITS ALONG THE MAIN ROAD IN BELLEVUE. BUT NOT EVERYONE WILL NOT BE TAKING PART IN THE FESTIVITIES SURROUNDING THE DISPLAY. WITH THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM - SHINING BRIGHT ON FAIRFIELD AVENUE... BELLEVUE'S NATIVITY SCENE HAS A NEW HOME IN FRONT OF SAINT JOHN UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST. MAYOR ED RIEHL EXPLAINS THAT AFTER 42-YEARS IN A COMMUNITY PARK - THE DISPLAY HAD TO MOVE OFF OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY. (Ed Riehl, Bellevue Mayor) (St. John Church on Fairfield Avenue which is a great community support and has been here for 126 years now and stepped forward and said hey we may be able to find room and a home for that.) NOW THERE'S NEW CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE NATIVITY SCENE. (Reverend Keith Haithcock, St. John United Church of Christ) (We welcome everyone including gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and trans gender people and he felt so strongly about this that he said to me, we don't feel like you follow the teachings of Christ.) REVEREND KEITH HAITHCOCK SAYS, AS AN OPENLY GAY PASTOR... IT HURTS THAT ANOTHER BELLEVUE CONGREGATION WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESSION BECAUSE OF HIS BELIEFS ... THIS HAS SOME RESIDENTS QUESTIONING WHAT CHRISTMAS TIME IS ALL ABOUT. (Renee Barns, Bellevue Resident) (I feel like we should come together as a community no matter what race color, religion who they are as a person you know we're not here to judge anybody we're just here to bring everyone together.) OUT OF THE 5 CHURCHES IN BELLEVUE - RIGHT NOW - SAINT JOHN IS THE ONLY ONE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROCESSION. AS PASTOR HAITHCOCK READS FROM THE BIBLE, HE HOPES OTHERS WILL RECONSIDER JOINING THEM ON DECEMBER SIXTH. (but the angels said to them, do not be afraid for see I'm bringing you good news of great joy for all the people and I think that's pertinent to what the nativity is about.) OF THE OTHER THREE CONGREGATIONS THAT DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE - ONE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE MOVE AWAY FROM THE CITY PARK.. ANOTHER CHURCH WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OLDER MEMBERS WALKING IN WINTER WEATHER - AND THE THIRD CHURCH DID NOT RESPOND. A LIBERTY TOWNSHIP COUPLE
