I was ten years old in 1965. The folk boom was peaking, riots erupted in Watts, the Vietnam War wasn't going well, and rock & roll looked like it might be here to stay. My dad and grandfather were running the company. My father was part of the current scene. My grandfather was watching a generation in flux. My father was 31 when the D-35 was introduced. We had just moved into a new factory and business was good. Frank Martin was a complex amalgamation of family business heir, beat generation hipster, sports car enthusiast and madman. He was caught up in a vortex of musical styles that were defining the '60s, and many of the artists who were doing the defining were playing Martin guitars. The exact origins of the D-35 are lost to history. We do know that its development is attributed to the scarcity of Brazilian rosewood. In what is probably our first acknowledgement of the challenge of making more guitars out of scarce resources, my dad's colleagues created the three-piece back D-35. While three-piece backs were not new on guitars, I think it's safe to say that the Martin D-35 is the most popular three-piece back guitar ever made. The D-35 has a traditional, yet cool, elegance that was — and is — just right. Happy 50th birthday, D-35! Sincerely, What's Inside The Age of Individuation - Martin Guitar's Custom Shop

Twinkle Eyebrow Razor
SussannahToo Big For The Eye AreaI really wanted these to work, but when I got them I was surprised to see that the head of the blade is as big as a regular razor! I couldn't easily work it around my eyebrow area at all. I've seen smaller heads, but I don't know where to buy them. Also, the blade seems very rough and hard to use. Disappointed!posted Apr 26, 2012Link to this post

Humble Darvish tries to slow A's roll in Arlington
Straily looks to help Oakland close gap further with fifth straight win
At first glance, tabbing Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish as the club's ace seems like an easy connection to make. Coming off a historic rookie campaign, Darvish (7-1) boasts a 2.97 ERA and has struck out a Major League-leading 86 batters in just 60 2/3 innings.
But if you ask the 26-year-old, he'll shy away from the label, insisting he hasn't reached that level yet.
"I only have won 20 or so games here in the big leagues," he said. "I don't think I'm at a point where you guys can compare me to the top pitchers in Major League Baseball. I'm not even at the starting point."
Rangers manager Ron Washington, for one, disagrees. Although, he surely doesn't mind the right-hander staying humble through all his successes.
"He's certainly been our ace," Washington said. "But if that's the way he feels, that's fine with me, just as long as he keeps pitching the way he has been pitching. An ace, in his mind, is somebody who has been doing it a long time. But he has been an ace here in Texas and he certainly has the stuff to be an ace."
One job of any team's No. 1 pitcher is slowing down a hot opponent and that's just what Darvish will try to accomplish Tuesday when he takes the mound in Arlington against the division-rival A's, who have run four straight.
"I think the Oakland Athletics are a great team and I still have to study a lot and look at videos and make adjustments when I face them in a game situation," Darvish said. "They're a really good team and I just have to pitch my game."
Toeing the rubber for the A's will be Dan Straily, who was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on May 1 for his third stint with Oakland and is 0-2 with a 7.98 ERA in three starts since then. He's struck out 10 in 14 2/3 innings, but he has also walked 11.
"Sometimes it's a mental process as much as anything," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "You just want good, positive thoughts leading up [to the game]. More than anything, I think it'll be about him just rolling off a couple of good outings, because obviously the stuff is there. He's got swing-and-miss stuff. It's just getting on a consistent roll here, and we're always encouraged that will be the case with him."
Even though his most recent stay in the Majors was originally thought to be only temporary, Straily will likely be around for a while because of Brett Anderson's stress fracture in his foot.
Rangers: Pierzynski poised for return to lineup, top of depth chart
The Rangers activated catcher A.J. Pierzynski off the 15-day disabled list following Monday night's game.
The veteran has been sidelined since May 6 with a strained oblique muscle in his right rib cage, but Rangers manager Ron Washington doesn't see a need to be extra careful with him following the injury.
"That injury is something that he done had and it just flared," Washington said. "I thought he was being used carefully before we decided that we had to put him on the DL."
Even though Geovany Soto had been doing most of the catching while Pierzynski was out, Washington added that Pierzynski will resume his role as the Rangers No. 1 catcher once he is activated.
"Pierzynski is my starter," Washington said. "I'm going to give Soto playing time, but it's not going to be where I'm sitting here mapping it out. I'm going to go with my gut on that. He'll get [a start] once or twice a week."
In 26 games this season, Pierzynski is hitting .263 with four homers and 11 RBIs.
A's: Jaso still suffering from shin injury
Five days have passed since John Jaso was last seen behind the plate, but the club is hopeful he might be able to return Tuesday.
The A's catcher is still bothered by a right shin injury he sustained on a hit-by-pitch Wednesday. He started at designated hitter on Saturday and was available off the bench Monday.
"He was in the bullpen, and it bothered him some getting down," Melvin said. "I don't think his mobility was all there. Hopefully, with another day, he'll be able to catch [Tuesday]."
Jaso is batting .279 when catching and has a .195 average as the DH this season.
Worth noting
• The A's last 13 home runs have come with the bases empty, tying a franchise record set in 2007. Their last multi-run homer came on May 5.
• A limited amount of tickets remain for the final two games between the Rangers and A's in Arlington. As of Monday evening, 5,500 reserved seats were still available for Tuesday's matchup, while 6,500 reserved seats are up for grabs for Wednesday's matinee. The Rangers rank fourth in the Majors in attendance trailing only the Dodgers, Giants and Cardinals.

New Google app shows how much of a website's content is "above the fold"
Google Labs has cooked up another interesting tool, called Browser Size. It demonstrates how much—or, sadly, how little—of a website is visible without scrolling. Enter a site URL to see an overlay of what percent of users will be able to see regions of the site "above the fold." This is affected by screen resolution, of course, but also by the size of the browser chrome, the size and number of toolbars installed, and other considerations.
I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much is actually above the fold for 90% of users: roughly 975 x 500px. I'd be interested to see a different overlay in this tool that, rather than showing how much is initially visible to a user, shows how likely users are to view a given region. Of course the closer to the upper-left the region is, the greater the probability, but what about the content below or outside the fold? This would make clearer the magnitude of the importance of content being in a certain position. And something that's below the fold vertically is more likely to be viewed than something that the user has to scroll horizontally to. It'd also be useful if you could select parameters about user demographics and system specs to see how the visibility of page content changes.
Add new comment
Interesting to see percentage wise viewports and browser size, however, they should basically say that anything beyond donate now is useless area unless you have a big screen monitor, perhaps not even then. The app at best is basic; I wouldn't use it, too general and obvious. Does not take into consideration other dimensions or positions to be useful.
Also see Blasting the Myth of the Fold by Milissa Tarquini:
Sadly this is not site specific. On my website for example I know that more than 80% of my visitors have a screen width of 1024 or more and most of them have 768 or more height. (And the others are netbooks, I think, which are not the typical users and know how to scroll as they have to more often.)
Ah, just found this on their Labs page:
Ever wondered what parts of your site can't be without scrolling? Browser Size shows you what portion of users can see a give spot on the screen. This is not screen resolution but the area available to the browser - as gathered from www.google.com users.
But, thereisnopagefold.com ;)
No, but seriously, this is interesting. I'm actually collecting screen resolution and viewport dimension data on that site to do this exact thing, although the results would obviously be skewed towards the primarily web developers/designers visiting the site. And, I was more curious to find an average of the difference between resolution and viewport, in an effort to gain some clarity on how most users browse the web - ie. with their web browser maximized to fill their screen, or to fit a specific width.
Any idea what data they're using? It would be awesome to see this as an addition to Google Analytics.

Salaries and Benefits
In addition to living in "The American Riviera," there are many benefits to working at Cottage:
2013 Resident Salaries
Mortgage Assistance Program
All residents are eligible to participate in the Cottage Health System Mortgage Assistance Program. This program provides loans equivalent to second mortgages to employees purchasing a home who are otherwise eligible for a first mortgage from a financial institution. This second loan essentially provides for a down payment of up to $75,000, allowing many employees the opportunity of home ownership.
Relocation Subsidy
For relocation to Santa Barbara, there is a $2,000 loan available to incoming residents. This loan is forgiven at the end of the resident's first year of residency at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
Medical and Dental
Dental and hospitalization insurance is provided without cost to each resident, effective the day training begins. Additional coverage for families may be obtained for a premium paid by the resident. Worker's Compensation Insurance premiums are paid by the hospital.
Disability Insurance
Long-term disability insurance is provided by the hospital, without cost to the resident.
Malpractice Insurance
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital's Insurance Program provides Professional Liability Coverage for all trainees in the hospital's Graduate Medical Education Program. The hospital's insurance program includes modified occurrence coverage for acts or omissions which fall within the scope of the education program. The hospital is self-insured for the first tier of coverage, and has an outside insurer for more substantial claims.
The physician's coverage includes a "built-in" tail coverage for up to seven years following the hospital's departure from its current insurer, should the hospital change insurers. Thus, all physician claims reported or filed after the resident's completion of the Graduate Medical Education Program would be covered. The coverage afforded to the physicians is consistent with the coverage provided to the hospital itself.
Meal Allotment
A monthly meal allotment is provided for each resident.
Parking is provided at no charge to all residents. The hospital has a parking structure located just across from the hospital.
White Coats/Scrubs
White coats and scrubs are provided to each resident without charge. Laundering is provided.
Conference Stipend
First and second-year residents are allotted time (in addition to their usual vacation time) and are provided a stipend up to $1,250 to attend one major conference per year. Residents in their third year of residency attend AIRP in Silver Spring, MD. An allowance for registration, airfare, lodging and meals is paid for by the hospital.

Haren, Pelfrey start Game 1 of split twin bill
LA's Game 2 starter is Patterson, while Johnson set to go for Minnesota
The Twins start right-hander Mike Pelfrey in Game 1 of Thursday's day-night doubleheader, and left-hander Kris Johnson will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start Game 2.
The Dodgers start right-hander Dan Haren in the opener, and starter Red Patterson will make his Major League debut in the nightcap at Target Field.
Manager Don Mattingly had said Wednesday it would "probably" be Patterson, an interesting choice as a non-roster invitee to Spring Training who had been pitching for Triple-A Albuquerque and wasn't on the 40-man roster until Thursday.
By calling up Patterson, the Dodgers are skipping past Matt Magill and Stephen Fife, who have been struggling in the Albuquerque rotation.
Pelfrey has struggled this season with a 7.32 ERA in four starts, but was a tad better in his last outing against the Rays on April 23, giving up three runs over five innings. Here's what he said:
"I thought it was better, but it's obviously nowhere close to where I want to be."
Johnson, meanwhile, was pitching well at Rochester, posting a 2.86 ERA with 20 strikeouts and eight walks in 22 innings.
"He was throwing very well," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He was the recommended guy. He also threw the ball well for us Spring Training. So we'll see how it goes."
And here's Johnson on what was working for him:
"I was able to locate my fastball pretty well and change speeds when I needed to. Just miss the barrel."
And how he got the jitters out of the way, making his first big league start with the Pirates last September.
"It's a different clubhouse and a different group of guys but it's still the same game. I got the jitters out of the way. So hopefully I can just go out there and pitch like I know I can."
Dodgers: Kershaw passes test
• Clayton Kershaw threw 86 pitches in his Wednesday night rehab assignment at Double-A Chattanooga, and one of the most interested teammates was Zack Greinke, who said he checked pregame Twitter feeds to keep track of Kershaw's progress.
"It's fun watching him pitch," Greinke said of Kershaw. "He's as good as it gets. It sounds like he's doing pretty good."
Kershaw figures to return to the Dodgers' rotation next week in Washington.
Twins: Escobar has big night at the plate
• No. 9 hitter Eduardo Escobar set a single-game career high with four hits Wednesday night and joined Jason Kubel as the only Twins with four hits in a game this season.
Escobar's .345 average is the highest on the club.
Worth noting
• Official scorer Don Hartack ruled that a Rockies' run from Sunday's game against Hyun-Jin Ryu was unearned because of Ryu's fielding error.
• The Dodgers are 11-4 in their last 15 Interleague games and are 9-3 on the road this year.
• Minnesota has lost five straight Interleague games dating to last year.
• The Twins are 11-3 in split doubleheaders since 2012.

Personally, I just think they should include Gnome Shell and Gnome Panel in the default Ubuntu. I mean, they really don't take very much space since all the libraries are already there.
Phoronix: A GNOME Flavor Of Ubuntu - "GNOME-buntu"
Thanks to growing user-interest, it looks like there is going to be a GNOME Shell flavor of Ubuntu to satisfy those who aren't fond of the direction of Canonical's Unity desktop...
Personally, I just think they should include Gnome Shell and Gnome Panel in the default Ubuntu. I mean, they really don't take very much space since all the libraries are already there.
Both the panel and the shell are available in the repositories already, but they're not installed by default of course.
I don't care about another Ubuntu spin shipping GNOME Shell or Classic (as they're in the repos already). I only care them to be as close to upstream as possible.
There might be a point to having gnome 3 there pre installed if it did not suck so bad.
I think it's easier to multitask with webos than gnome shell.
Canonical was wise to split from gnome and try to go their own way. It's probably the only practical way to modernize the linux desktop.
Not that what they came up with was particularly good.
The most modern Linux desktop is, and has been for a long time, provided by Fedora. This includes Gnome-shell.
The further Ubuntu strays from what Gnome folks, Linux kernel, and Linux 'plumbing' folks are doing on Fedora the farther they will fall behind because development is not their core competency.
As far as 'multitasking' goes if you can't figure out how to do it in Gnome-shell then you won't be able to figure out how to do it on any desktop. It provides a significant improvement in the speed of switching/selecting between large numbers of windows. With Gnome-shell I can break my dependence on window tabs and nesting shells using tmux/screen due to the fact that the Window manager is now capable enough. This is something that I couldn't do on Gnome 2 and other desktops I regularly use.
And unlike other systems I can do this without having to manually micromanage my window through static arrangements and scripting, which is something that always irritated the hell out of me.

This is time to stop the Arab occupation.
Jews have been living in the Land of Israel for thousands of years; even during times that most of the Jewish people was at exile, and before the Arab occupation and colonization of the land.
It is mind boggling how people are willing to accept this ongoing occupation, just because they think Arabs lived there sine dinosaurs time.
Most of the Arab immigrated there parallel to the Zion - ist immigration in the new era. Read the Ottoman census, the British census and understand the Arab names and origins. http://www.jrtelegraph.com/2011/12/yoram-ettinger-who-are-the-palestinia...
Take a look at the big picture; a huge part of the globe is Christian, another huge part of the globe is Mus - lim. There is a little tiny piece of land for the Jews, and the Liberals of the free world want to take it away.
Ufff... and I thought that stale propaganda had already run its course decades ago.
For someone who wants to read actual history:
The problem with you post is there is no difference between a authentic middle eastern Jew and an Arab. All Jews and Arabs are Semitic peoples and only have different religions. Netanyahu and at least half of the population of Israel are Europeans and are Jewish in Religion only giving them no more claim to the land then any Christian or Muslim. They are colonizers and many are anti-semitic as witnessed by reports that non-european Jews are not treated as well as European Jews in Israel.
You'll be surprised that "non-european Jews" are the major support base of Netaniayu, while "european" Jews are supporters of the left wing. This is because they came (or, more correctly, were expelled) from Arab countries in the exchange of population which corresponded to the birth of Israel. They knew very well how Arabs treat Jews (and Christians) whenever they have power over them. And they also know very well that in the Arab culture you need first to defeat your enemy and break your spirit, then demand surrender. If you negotiate, you are weak and should be taken advantage of.
I think when you talk about (Semitic people) you are getting into an area that most people do not understand. And you are 100% correct.
Just as most people do not understand the word Jewish can be used in three different meanings.
1. Race
2. Religion
3. Geological location
And Max-67 covered all three meanings, yet I am pretty sure he didn't understand any of the meanings and how he is rebuffing the very point he is trying to make.
According to the Bible the Jews displaced the Caananites to found Judea and Israel. Do the Caananites get "dibs?"
Would you apply your "Arab occupation argument" to the European influx into North America?
Klarg, you are right on the money. The whole history is series of conquests and wars. It does not stop even in our "enlightened" age.
Right now there is political argument between Israel and Arabs about a tiny peace of territory in the Middle East. Israel controls it and Israelis want to live there. Arabs want Jews not to live there. Let's see who succeeds.
The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab.
There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him. The Swedes, who are ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we did in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to American and the West in general.
by Eric Hoffer
May 26, 1968
What a great man. ... What a great man
If Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally, we are better off with out any allies.
Let's keep the blood off our hands.
The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong."
That quote you keep throwing around is nothing more than nonsensical ramblings.
Then show what is wrong there.
What exactly can I say? It's a non-sequitur, off topic at best, inane and stupid at worst.
So you just repeat that you think it is stupid? I asked you if you have any arguments to support your opinion, or is it just "gut feeling"?... Eric Hoffer states his arguments, you do not.
Topic: the article discusses where Israel can build homes and where it cannot. The quote states that Israel is held to different standards. E.g., is there outrage of Turkish settling in the Northern Cyprus?
The quote sounds very on-topic...
Bulgarian Jews were not sent to concentration camps
So it is a question of " why not let me aggress slaughter and dislocate dispossess disfranchise and rob..." as others DID and do not hold me to the morality and constraints of civilized values that I always defend!!
AND a question of " You did not denounce the Nazis for doing what they did to us so dO NOT denounce us for doing like they did"!
With these being the words and intent of a "great man" I wonder what a non great man may say and what your defintion of "great" is ..Mr.Colt45 ???!
I think it's curious that the U.S. which stole an entire country from the Native Americans...and the British who are still occupying Northern Ireland...and the Spanish who occupy Basque country...and Saudi tribesman who occupy Hashemite Arabia, etc...and one could go on with examples...find time to criticize Jews for simply settling in their homeland which existed long before any of these other nations did.
I agree with your thinking.
But, check your DNA. The Arabs living there are the real owners of the land.
Not the Russians and Europeans who now are Jewish.
If they want to settle in their homeland, then they should go back to Germany and Russia, their real homeland. Not try and steal the Arab's homeland.
Here, scientists have checked Jewish DNA:
"The two major groups, Middle Eastern Jews and European Jews, were timed to have diverged from each other approximately 2500 years ago."
"This study shows that although Jewish people experienced genetic mixing with surrounding populations, they retained a genetic coherence along with a religious one"
And there is also very strong "cultural DNA". Can you explain why those "Russians" and "Europeans" prayed "Next year in Jerusalem" for generations?
In effect, you may say that Jewish refugees retained their refugee identity for about 2500 years (if counting from Babylon expulsion). Interesting, will Palestinian Arab refugees long to return to Palestine in 2500 years?
Well, all those "European" Jew came from the Middle East....and a lot never even left. Half of Israeli Jews are from Middle East countries...refugees who were driven out of those countries when Israel was founded. About a million of them in all. Here take a look at the list:
Aden 8,800
Algeria 274,000
Egypt 118,000
Iraq 144,000
Lebanon 15,000
Libya 42,000
Morocco 542,000
Syria 44,000
Tunisia 205,000
Yemen 60,000
Iran 125,000
You are right.
I was surprised by the number from Morocco.
I have read where Arab Jews are treated as second class citizens in Israel.
Do you think that is true?
"Just a(n) American view", wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_Mizrahi_Jews_and_Sephardi_Jews
Among those "second class citizens":
* President: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe_Katsav
* At least three IDF Chiefs of Staff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabi_Ashkenazi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Halutz,
* Leader of the largest trade union: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Peretz
"Cultural DNA" a whole new field.
And I got to say that there is something to the thinking behind it.
And to answer your question, I think belief has a lot to do with the Jewish religion as it does in most American religions. Belief does not have to be built on true facts or true history. It is built in the minds of people.
The Russians and Europeans pray in Jerusalem because of their beliefs.
"Just a(n) American view", I pointed you first to the physical DNA.
Regarding "cultural DNA", it is also very important. I think it is even more important. For example, why do Palestinian refugees want to return to their "homes" in Palestine? Vast majority of them never lived in their homes, and never saw them. It was 65 years ago that their parents/grandparents left.
Do you think it is because they have some gene in their body which physically draws them to the land they never knew and never saw?
I think it's different. They want to return because of their "cultural DNA". Because their parents teach them so. Because in Palestinian schools Israeli cities are called Palestinian. Because of culture and education, not because of genes in their body.
Great point! I actually had not heard of cultural DNA before. But I see your point. It does apply here.
Thanks, that helps.
The Arabs fire thousands of projectiles into Israel and several days later are rewarded with status in the UN as a non-member state?
That's consistent with this "august" body . . . who at one time had Syria — whose government has now killed over 40,000 of its citizens — as a member on the UN human-rights committee.
Creating a 22nd Arab State out of a lone Israel is an injustice. Carving a 57th Muslim country at the expense of the sole Jewish nation in the world is a crime!
There is one good thing about the UN vote. It shows that most of the world's thinking is finally out of the Dark Ages and can't be fooled by misdirection. There may be hope for the world yet.
The Israeli-Palestinian crisis was not initiated by Hamas's rockets. Rather, it is the result of Jewish land grab for the last 60 years.
A personal question to Cosimo Rondo: How would you react if someone throws you out of your house ? You should definitely not kiss his ass, would you?
The formation of a greater Israel is an injustice on the Palestinians who had been thrown out of their houses.
Populist, the Israeli-Palestinian crisis is result of Arab refusal for a two-state solution in 1947. Or maybe it's a result of inability of Muslims to bear a thought that dhimmis can rule in their land.
Before 1947 Jews bought the land they lived in. Then there was a Civil War in Palestine, in which Jews were kicked out of their houses (not very successfully, just 70,000 of them, because they fought for every house). And about 200,000 Arabs left their houses (some were expelled, some fled -- probably because they valued their lives more than their homeland, like the Jews did). Then there was pan-Arab invasion of Palestine, during which about 400-500,000 Arabs, who eagerly supported invaders and killed Jews whenever they could, fled or were expelled.
Definitely there were a lot of injustice in that War. As in any war so far.
Thanks for the history lesson.
Hey let's blame the current situation on a decision of Arabs long dead. Sounds like a clever way to deny responsibility. Several generations of Palestinians who were not party to that 1947 decision are now suffering for it. Isn't it time to look forward and not backwards?
Israel is undeniably losing the PR war big time. Instead of punishing the Palestinians for their UN manoeuvrings they should really be considering how to correctly move the peace process along before it's too late and world opinion completely turns away from them.
honorablesamurai, this is also my position: assigning blame is fruitless and ultimately stupid, taking responsibility is the way to go.
My reply was to balance Populist putting all blame on "Jewish land grab" (note the choice of words), effectively denying any Arab responsibility for the conflict. I agree that, reformulating "land grab" as "desire of Jews to have their own tiny independent state in the world" was a major factor in the conflict. Another major factor was pathological inability of Arabs to accept this notion, or any compromise suggested to them. Hence the long-standing conflict.
You are talking about Palestine refugees suffering. I agree. This is almost unheard of situation in the world, when people remain refugees for 65 years. More than 2 million of Germans expelled in 1946 by Czechs from Sudetenland (where these Germans lived for generations) were silently settled by the two German states. Around 1 million Jews expelled from Arab countries were accommodated by the State of Israel (Israel relieved UNRWA of Jewish refugees as early as in 1951). And there are many more examples.
Now, Arab World (with about 400 million of population in 2012) could not accommodate for 65 years descendants of 700,000 Arab refugees from 1948? About 500,000 Palestinian refugees have less rights in Lebanon than even foreigners have! Palestinians in Jordan are governed by Bedouin minority which they claim adopts the policy of apartheid against them (I think they exaggerate, but indeed they do not have representation they deserve).
All this for one major reason, and it is political (as explicitly stated by Arab leaders). So humanitarian needs of about 5 million people now is taken hostage for political goals of Arab countries.
When Israel took over Gaza and the West Bank, it started building homes for refugees (using tax money of its own citizens). What happened? They stay empty, because PLO consider living in these homes a treason to the Palestinian cause. It prefers its own people to suffer than to lose them as a leverage in their political battle. It is correct, settling Arab refugees is in Israel's political benefit, but it corresponds to the humanitarian benefit. While Palestinian political cause benefits from suffering of Palestinians, which they do their best to perpetuate.
So, I think, the way to move forward is clear. All sides, including Israel and Arab countries, should take responsibility for the problems. Refugee problem. State for Palestinian people -- it is reasonable that the burden should be shared between Israel and Jordan, who has very large Palestinian population and larger area than Israel.
This is the reasonable way forward. Not to say: Jews are the one to blame for all, let's force them to solve all the problems.

Yes, if that someone denies my 3500 year history in the region. claims my prophets to have preached his religion - not mine.
Refuses to recognize my right to self determination and inalienable right to live in my own country - however small its is.
Preaches hatred of my religion. Teaches his school children to hate me and kill me wherever he find me.
Rejects any compromise to live in two states - side by side. Go to war against me with single objective, kill me and my family and "throw us onto the sea".
When he leaves no choice - Off course I will fight him, and if necessary throw him out as far as possible to protect my people.
That is the real truth behind this conflict.
Muslims did not displace Jews 3500 years back and Muslims also didn't commit Jewish genocide during WWII. In case you didn't know, Jews were first allowed inside Jerusalem, after their expulsion, when Muslims conquered the city.
And who told you that Muslims are taught to hate Jews in their religion. In case you didn't know, the name of Prophet Moses was mentioned more in Quran than any other prophets. Muslims respect Judaism, as instructed in the Quran. Is the Jewish oppression of Palestinians in line with laws set by Torah?...I'm sure Old Testament doesn't warrant killing of innocents. The Jews have killed in thousands in the name of God and God's promised land.
Let me remind you. The Israeli Jews were the ones who displaced Palestinians in thousands and turned them into refugees in 1948. They continue to grab more lands in occupied territory (deemed illegal settlements by UN), the latest aimed at dividing the future Palestinian state into two. Israel has crossed the red lines and they enjoy no international support for their marauding activities.
Therefore, don't whine and pretend to be a victim. You already have a state which is strong enough to protect itself. Its time to be serious about a actual Palestinian state, if really Israel really wants to be accepted as equals in the International community. A Palestinian state will be a redemption for Israel's 60 years of oppression and murder.
The land belongs to the Jewish people. The Jewish people will build on it. The "world" will huff and puff. The "world" huffed and puffed about Syria after all... The Jewish ownership of the land of Israel is non-negotiable.
I can't help but feel that comparing Israel to Syria doesn't help your cause.
The comparison is predicated on huffing and puffing without a result as opposed to any connection between Israel and Syria. I am not seeing the same level of passion when protesting Syrian daily atrocities to the fact that a Jew is building a home on his ancestral land. Build that home I shall proceed, notwithstanding the irrelevant and hypocritical protestations.
There is this country that is hogging up all its neighbors land.
They are being real pigs about it.
They huff and puff and bulldoze the neighbors' house down.
"Ancestral lands" is a crock, so to speak. I am an American Jew, and if I have any ancestral lands--and this goes for most, if not practically all of the Jews I know, including many in Israel--they'd be in Europe, perhaps. Obviously, history in Europe has been extraordinarily cruel to the Jews, but the idea that, since we (Jews) ostensibly lived in the Middle East at one point that the land is ours is more ludicrous than the idea that because Native Americans lived perhaps where I live now that they deserve my land and should be able to take it by force.
The point is that in this past century, since the end of the Second World War--and in particular, in the past two decades--the State of Israel has been progressively oppressing the Palestinian people, and that fact is what is destroying Israel's friendships around the world. I've been to Israel (on Birthright) and seen and spoken to Israelis. They're not bad people, but what their country is doing is morally reprehensible and will only isolate Israel further.
You call yourself an american Jew, but you don't respect or love the Jews and Israel. You live on ancestral Native American land but neglect and dismiss them outright. You defend rioting arabs but ignore arabs working in Israel and earning dicent money. They suffer b/c of riots, bus bombing and wars. So who are you? To whom you belong? You look like empty suite with "Che Guevara" on your breast. And don't "worry" about Israel, they will survive in spite of all Jew haters, islamic and European. Their main threat are people like you.
Don't question my love of and appreciation for the people of Israel and the nation. I fully believe that America should help ensure Israel's security and in the close partnership of my country and Israel. And I don't appreciate the flippant suggestions that I would have anything but the greatest hopes and aspirations for the State of Israel.
Moral acuity is not something that is fungible in different situations. In other words, human rights are human rights. The State of Israel has every right--morally and under international law--to defend itself. But it cannot and should not do so at the cost of innocent lives.
True peace will only come when the fundamentalist elements--in America as much as anywhere--are voted out of power and the liberal democratic values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights taken seriously. Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, confronting the undead legacy of slavery in America and its reincarnation through Jim Crow laws, "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love."
Finally, a Jew I can support.
Ever think of running for president of Israel.
You would have world support.
Thanks, though since I'm an American, I have no interest in governing Israel (also, the President of Israel has few powers; like a lot of presidents in parliamentary systems, it's largely a figurehead position).
But give me 9 years, and I'll be eligible for the American presidency...
The Palestinian claim of statehood is also non-negotiable. Deal will it, if you want a legitimate Israel.
Israeli Jews live because of their American Jewish brethren. This state would have only existed in the annuls of History without sustained American assistance (with the help of Jewish lobby).
NateKoppel, just called a spade a spade.
the settlements are on desert land where nobody lives. Since you don't recognize ancestry, I'm sure you agree that anybody who wants should be allowed to build there. This is much different than living on land that was taken from somebody else who actually lived on it. The earth belongs to all of us and Jews have lived in and around Jerusalem long before America or Europe even got their names.
"the settlements are on desert land where nobody lives."
That's a lie. They frequently demolish houses, oftentimes while people are still in them, in order to make room for settlers.
Melissia, it is the other way around: as soon as Arabs have a single (even unconfirmed) paper that they own a land, Jews are uprooted (which is a human tragedy, as you would definitely argue, right?) and the land is freed.
In particular, E1 is a barren state land, you can easily check it.
Some Arab houses are demolished because they are illegally built. Try to build in Europe or in the USA in a state land without getting necessary permits, and see what happens.
Please stay where you are you not welcome.
Look for yourself, Which country is "hogging"
STATE.................................. SIZE (sq. km)........PERCENTAGE
Saudi Arabia...............................1,960,582...............16.48%
Sudan (N & S)............................2,505,810................21.06%
WB & Gaza (Palestine)....................6,220...................0.05%
And Israel will remain an apartheid state in the eyes of international community unless they give Palestinians a state. Every apartheid state has its own fate (Remember South Africa) and Israel will not be immune from it.
I guess you understand who much the international community loves yours illegal occupation by the recent vote in UN.
Get used to this: There's no occupation, no Palestinians, not much "community" among the Nations of the World. There's only the Jewish People and THEIR Holy Land, the Arabs living on it since the Islamic conquest, and a gathering of mostly dictatorships that sit and make meaningless and toothless resolutions.
Come visit Israel, and tell me where an Arab is better off: there or in Egypt?
The Arabs will have to accept the Jewish sovereignty (now de facto, which will become formal as the annexation is a matter of time) over all the ancestral Jewish lands. THEN, there will be peace.

The CIRM Grants Administration Policy was recently updated. Does my award follow the old GAP or the new GAP?
What reporting requirements survive termination of a CIRM award?
What kind of reports do I have to submit? When are the reports due?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
The type and number of reporting requirements for your award depend on the RFA program and are listed on page 2 or 3 of your Notice of Grant Award. Minimally, Grantees must submit an Annual Programmatic Report and an Annual Financial Report. Please check with your Grants Management Specialist for the specific Programmatic Report due dates. Annual Financial Reports are always due within 90 days of the end of each Budget Period.
Can I rebudget my grant funds? When do I need to seek Prior Approval?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
CIRM funds can be rebudgeted between budget categories as long as you adhere to any budget caps established by the GAP or individual RFA. If rebudgeting actions exceed certain dollar thresholds, they will require Prior Approval from CIRM and a Prior Approval Request form must be submitted to CIRM, indicating how much funds are being rebudgeted, from where and to where funds are being moved and a justification for why funds are being rebudgeted. Please see the GAP for a listing of the thresholds for each budget category. Please note that rebudgeting into overhead-excluded budget categories (i.e. from Supplies to Equipment) may create a corresponding reduction to Facilities and Indirect budget categories.
Can I carry forward unexpended funds into the next Budget Period?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
Yes, but Grantees must obtain Prior Approval from CIRM to carry-forward unexpended funds exceeding 25% of the annual budget for the expiring Budget Period.
Does CIRM allow no-cost extensions?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
Grantees may request a one-time no-cost extension (NCE) up to 12 months on any CIRM award. A Prior Approval Request form with a proper justification must first be submitted at least 30 days before the Project Period's expiration.
What are the salary and stipend caps in place for CIRM awards?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
CIRM establishes a cap on all annual base salaries charged to CIRM awards in proportion to the % of salary or effort charged to the project as follows:
Effective From: | 1/1/2006 | 1/1/2008 | 7/1/2010 | 7/1/2012 | 7/1/2014 |
Effective To: | 12/31/2007 | 6/30/2010 | 6/30/2012 | 6/30/2014 | 6/30/2016 |
Salary Cap (100%) | $200,000 | $207,000 | $213,000 | $221,000 | $230,000 |
No additional CIRM funds will be provided to support salary cap increases.
CIRM also establishes annual stipend levels for CIRM Scholars on our Training Awards depending on their educational level, and monthly stipend levels for CIRM Interns on Bridges Awards. These ranges can also be used as a guide for Trainees on CIRM research awards.
Effective From: | 1/1/2006 | 1/1/2008 | 7/1/2010 | 7/1/2012 | 7/1/2014 |
Effective To: | 12/31/2008 | 6/30/2010 | 6/30/2012 | 6/30/2014 | 6/30/2016 |
Bridges Intern (Monthly) | N/A | N/A | $2,500 | $2,575 | $2,652 |
Predoctoral Cap | $25,000 | $26,000 | $27,000 | $28,000 | $29,000 |
Postdoctoral Low | $26,000 | $37,000 | $38,000 | $40,000 | $41,000 |
Postdoctoral High | $52,000 | $54,000 | $55,000 | $58,000 | $60,000 |
Clinical Fellow Low | $65,000 | $67,000 | $69,000 | $72,000 | $75,000 |
Clinical Fellow High | $75,000 | $77,000 | $80,000 | $83,000 | $86,000 |
Grantees may use the most recent stipend levels for any appointments made after the effective date, but no additional CIRM funds will be provided for existing awards.
How do I determine whether CIRM considers a cost allowable?
CIRM adheres to the cost principles as defined by the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-21, C. Basic Considerations including the determination of whether costs are 1) reasonable, 2) allocable, 3) consistently treated, and 4) adhering to any other limitations set forth by the RFA or Notice of Grant Award. CIRM encourages grantees to use these cost principles to make their own determinations on cost allowability given CIRM cannot make a judgment on every cost scenario.
What types of expenses are unallowable on CIRM awards?
Reference: Non-profit GAP
CIRM unallowable expenses include but are not limited to visa expenses for foreign nationals, malpractice insurance, membership dues, furniture, telephone equipment, personnel recruitment, receptions, the cost of food or meals unrelated to allowable travel expenses, professional journal subscriptions for trainees on training grants, and non-expense based patient payments. Any other unallowable expenses will be specified by the specific RFA/PA.
Can I change the scope of my project?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
A change in scope must be approved by CIRM prior to initiating such a change. Proper justification must be provided. Any change in scope must still be within the scope of the RFA program.
How are facilities and indirect cost calculated?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
Grantees may request Facilities costs for research awards consistent with their current, federally negotiated rates. When research is conducted off-site, a Grantee may request a portion of their Facilities cost based on their actual, out-of-pocket lease costs. Indirect costs are currently capped at 20% for most awards (exceptions include RFA 05-01, 08-03, 08-04, and PA 08-06). These rates are applied to the Adjusted Project Costs which exclude Equipment, Tuition and Fees, and Subcontract and Consultant amounts in excess of $25,000.
When can I expect payments on my CIRM award?
CIRM makes quarterly or annual payment on grant awards based on the Budget Period start date and the RFA. The first payment is made upon CIRM's receipt of a fully signed NGA. Quarterly payments will continue to be processed as long as all required reports are complete and submitted on time. If a report is more than 60 days overdue, CIRM reserves the right to hold future payments on the grant award. The final payment on all grant awards is held until all required reports are received and accepted by CIRM.
What should I do if I have a publication or invention that resulted from CIRM funds?
Reference: IP regulations for non-profits & for-profits and Publication requirements for non-profits and for-profits
Publications or Inventions resulting in whole or in part by CIRM funding should be disclosed to CIRM via the CIRM Publication or Invention Disclosure online module within 60 days of the publication date or invention disclosure to your organization. These publications and inventions also need to be reported in the subsequent Annual Programmatic Report. Please ask your Grants Management Specialist if you need further instructions accessing the online modules.
Do I have to purchase all my supplies from California suppliers?
Reference: Non-profit GAP [pdf]
It is a goal of Proposition 71 that more than 50% of the goods and services used in your CIRM-supported research is purchased from California suppliers. CIRM grantees should make good faith efforts to obtain 50% or more of their goods and services from California suppliers. You will be asked to report this on your Annual Programmatic Report, so it is important to keep internal documentation on your expenditures. See the regulation for a definition of California supplier.
Where can I find the CIRM forms?
Please contact your Grants Management Specialist to obtain any of CIRM's forms including the Prior Approval Request or Financial Report form. If you don't remember the name of your Grants Management Specialist, please call the Grants Management Office at 415-396-9125.
The CIRM Grants Administration Policy was recently updated. Does my award follow the old GAP or the new GAP?
The CIRM Grants Administration Policy was updated and took effect on November 1, 2012. This new GAP applies to all new CIRM awards as well as continuing awards on their next Budget Period anniversary after November 1, 2012.
What reporting requirements survive termination of a CIRM award?
After award closeout, CIRM grantees are still required to submit publication and invention disclosures that are a result of CIRM funding. Grantee Technology Transfer offices, or similar group, are responsible for submitting Annual Invention Utilization reports that include activity funded by closed CIRM awards. CIRM also has a record retention policy requiring applicable scientific and administrative records be held for a minimum of 5 years.

Workman to start in place of Lester in Fenway finale
Sox ace scratched amid trade talk; Buehrle on tap as Jays eye sweep
Jon Lester was supposed to be on the hill Wednesday at Fenway Park. Instead, Brandon Workman will be called up from Triple-A to start against the Blue Jays in the series finale.
The decision comes as no surprise. Red Sox manager John Farrell mentioned it was a possibility before Tuesday's game between Boston and Toronto because of the potential that Lester could be traded before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
"In light of all the uncertainty surrounding Jon Lester, it's probably in everyone's best interest that he does not make that start," Farrell said. "So, Brandon will be recalled."
Workman has made eight starts for Boston this season, including five straight in the rotation from late May to early June while Clay Buchholz was on the disabled list. He went 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA in that span.
Meanwhile, left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the nod for the Blue Jays, who are seeking the sweep and their fifth consecutive win, after what could be considered his worst start of the season. He allowed six runs on nine hits in three innings on Friday against the Yankees for the loss.
Buehrle is winless since June 1, posting a 4.95 ERA in that span. During the first two months of the season, he went 9-1 with a 2.33 ERA.
"I don't feel like I've thrown [bad enough] not to get a win in the last two months," Buehrle said after his last start. "Obviously these last couple of outings, I have, I've pretty much tanked. But before that, I felt like I was throwing pretty good.
"I think the ball's not going to guys, it's finding holes now. When you're going lucky, when you're going good, those balls go to your defensive guys. The bloop singles, when you make pitches, they're not making you pay for them."
Blue Jays: Rasmussen optioned
Left-hander Rob Rasmussen was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday to make room for recently acquired infielder Danny Valencia.
The move leaves Toronto with six men in its bullpen. However, the number shouldn't stay that way for long. Another reliever will likely join the bullpen in the next few days.
"Day to day, if it blows up on us, we're good now ... of course, we'd have to make a move then," Gibbons said before Tuesday's game when asked about the status of his bullpen and whether the club will need to add another reliever soon.
Red Sox: Farrell talks to Doubront
After Felix Doubront imploded on the mound Monday night against the Blue Jays, allowing six runs on six hits in two-thirds of an inning, Farrell said Tuesday that he'd met with the left-hander. The conversation specifically focused on Doubront's demeanor on the hill.
"Yes, and that's all I'll say about it," said Farrell.
Doubront has made 66 starts for Boston over the last three seasons, including 10 in 2014. He hasn't started since June 20 and has made seven relief appearances since.
Worth noting
• Boston's Dustin Pedroia has three multi-hit performances in his last six games. He's hitting .364 in that stretch.
• Jose Bautista has hit 28 career home runs against Boston, the most against any opponent. Eighteen of those long balls have come at Fenway.

Kendrick looking to help Phils sweep Nats
Righty will be opposite Gonzalez in finale of three-game series
Despite an up-and-down season, the Phillies have tread water to this point, and they may have their own division foes to thank.
Philadelphia is 35-37 overall but owns an 18-9 record against the National League East. The Phillies can improve on that number with a win and three-game series sweep over the Nationals on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park.
In order to do that, the Phillies will need a better performance from Kyle Kendrick than what he gave his last time out. Kendrick had his worst outing of the year on Friday, allowing 10 hits and seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Rockies.
The 28-year-old right-hander is 6-4 with a 3.76 ERA this season.
Some offense would help, too, and manager Charlie Manuel knows his lineup has not produced nearly enough to spread his team's success outside of its own division. The Phillies rank 22nd in the Majors in runs scored (267) and 17th in OPS (.707) entering Wednesday.
The lineup received a boost Tuesday with the return of Carlos Ruiz from the 15-day disabled list. Chase Utley was supposed to begin a rehab assignment in Double-A Reading, but did not because of bad weather.
"There are still things about the offense we need to get going," Manuel said. "You guys know what they are. We need to get guys hitting and get guys back, then we'll know how good we are."
The Nationals (34-36) will try to avoid the sweep and a season-high-tying four-game losing streak with Gio Gonzalez on the mound. The left-hander is 3-3 this season with a 3.40 ERA. Gonzalez did not earn the win but threw seven innings of three-hit, one-run ball on Friday against the Indians.
Phillies: Manuel predicts healthy Howard to hit 35 homers
Ryan Howard's towering second-inning home run Monday was a sight Phillies fans have not seen often the last two years. But Manuel expects it to become a common occurrence for the rest of the season.
The homer was Howard's second since May 7 and his eighth of the season in 67 games played, but even with the low power numbers and Howard's knee troubles, Manuel said he thinks his first baseman could still end the season with 35 home runs.
"I think he can get that," Manuel said. "I'm usually right on or close. I don't miss by much. There are a lot of ifs in there. If he can play and get enough at-bats. If he gets 500 at-bats, or 550, I'll say he's very capable of hitting 35 home runs, especially if he hits .280 or .290. If he can hit above .280, he'll hit some long fly balls that come down behind the fence."
Howard is hitting .276 with eight homers and 37 RBIs in 239 at-bats entering Wednesday.
• Phillies third baseman Michael Young enters Wednesday one RBI shy of 1,000 for his career. Since the RBI became an official stat in 1920, only 241 Major League players have reached the 1,000 RBI plateau in their careers, including 18 current players.
Nationals: Span returns to action
• Nationals outfielder Denard Span was in Tuesday's starting lineup and batted leadoff against the Phillies. Span missed Monday's game because of a deep bruise in his right foot, which is still sore.
"It's still a little swollen, but I can definitely move around a lot better than yesterday," said Span, who went 0-for-4 Tuesday.
• Nationals second baseman Anthony Rendon has reached base safely in 16 consecutive games entering Wednesday. Rendon extended his streak Tuesday with a sixth-inning single off Phillies starter Cliff Lee.
• Ian Desmond had his 19-game on-base streak snapped Tuesday after going 0-for-4. Desmond did extend a career-high errorless streak to 51 games, the longest current streak among Major League shortstops.
Worth noting
• The Phillies have won six straight home games and 10 of 15 and enter Tuesday 55-30 all-time against the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park.
• Desmond has hit Kendrick well in his career, batting .435 (10-for-23) against him with two home runs and five RBIs.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With an overall DxOMark score of 47, the Pentax Q is well-placed among cameras with sensors smaller than 4/3. In fact, its results are equivalent to the best compacts in this line (e.g., Canon Powershot G12 and Powershot S95) — not bad at all for a sensor that is smaller than most compact sensors (4.6 x 6.2 mm for the Pentax Q vs 5.8 x 7.9 for the Olympus XZ1). |
