Run of play commentary
80 Sharks 34-18 Blue Bulls. It's been another long night for the Bulls. While not the hammering that they received last week, they were comprehensively outplayed in the second half, with the Sharks replacements having a big impact on the match.
80 McLeod passes to James from the base and the replacement 10 boots it into touch to bring the game to an end.
79 The Bulls look to get the drive going but the ball is knocked forward. That's been the story of the Bulls' day.
78 A solid maul from the line-out sets the Bulls in motion as they build into the Sharks half but they're attack slows and Kaplan brings them back for a penalty which Pollard puts into touch inside the Sharks 22.
77 Butch James is on the field and he gets the game back underway. Pollard clears and Marais does well to collect up against the touchline but as he breaks down the line his attempted chip ahead slices off his boot and into touch.
75 TRY, BULLS, NDUNGANE 34-18. Much better from the Bulls this time as they keep it simple at the line-out and then bash it up with the forwards, barraging their way into the 22. They're just five short and the ball is spread wide to the near side where there is an extra man and Akona Ndungane picks up his second.
74 Another line-out steal from the Sharks (who are still down to 14) and Mvovo clears. Again! Wentzel has really come to the fore as he snaps another Bulls line-out and this time the Sharks are able to clear to their 10m line.
73 Messy from a Sharks line-out and they're blown for off-side as the ball ping pongs around between players. The Bulls have a line-out 10 out from the Sharks line.
71 CONVERSION, SHARKS, ZEILINGA 34-13. Zeilinga can certainly kick as he finds the target once more from out wide.
70 TRY, SHARKS, WENTZEL 32-13. Bonus point try! McLeod puts in the box kick from the scrum and Mastriet collects but he's under heavy pressure and throws the ball inside where Williams intercepts for the Sharks. The home side have men aplenty as they carry it up before working it through the hands where a flying Wentzel dives over for the score!
68 After a few scrum resets the Bulls are penalised for going in at the angle and the Sharks get a free kick. The throw is the Bulls' as a result but again it's not straight from Maku and the Sharks get the scrum once more. It's a really tough call.
67 The Sharks compete well and Wentzel grabs it, with Daniel clearing but the Sharks are still inside their 22. Bandise Maku's throw is not straight this time and the Sharks have the scrum.
65 Cooper's throw into the line-out has been ruled skew and the Bulls have a scrum which turns into a penalty. It gets worse for the Sharks as Chadwick is adjudged to have given away his third penalty at scrum time and he's shown a yellow card.
64 Engelbrecht has been like a raging bull since he came on and he continues to run strongly! The Bulls do well but a knock on from Akona Ndungane hands the Sharks possession. They run it for a few phases before Zeilinga clears it. Snyman returns the compliment and finds a good touch 10 out from the Sharks line.
46 Engelbrecht claims an up and under from van Tonder and surges forward. Good work from Visser as the Bulls attack with great pace. They switch to the pick and drive and it's executed to great effect. Hattingh is held up and Mbonambi gets over but with two movements so Kaplan takes them back for an off-side call against the Sharks.
62 CONVERSION, SHARKS, ZEILINGA 27-13. From out wide Zeilinga does the business.
61 TRY, SHARKS, MCLEOD 25-13. McLeod is rewarded for his efforts with a five-pointer! Botes picks up and breaks off the back of the scrum, he passes it on to McLeod who forces his way over.
60 Visser kicks the ball out on the full after the ball had bounced off him and into the 22 so the Sharks have an attacking line-out. Deysel bashes it up, breaking through two tackles. Good work from Marais and Botes as the Sharks get closer. Engelbrecht is at it again though as he nabs another turnover. Great work from the replacement scrum-half Charl McLeod as he charges down an attempted clearance from Pollard.
56 CONVERSION, SHARKS, ZEILINGA 20-13. Zeilinga adds the extras.
55 TRY, SHARKS, WILLIAMS 18-13. Great work from the Sharks as they spread the ball down the blindside to Daniel on the far touchline who speeds away, he beats one tackle, holds off another before passing inside to Williams who goes over.
53 Ludik clears down to Visser who calls the mark before hammering the ball into the Sharks half. There is an exchange of kicks and this time it's Pollard who calls the mark for the Bulls.
52 The Sharks defence is strong at the line-out and the Bulls are bundled into touch.
51 Engelbrecht is really having a big impact as he gets his side a penalty by forcing Botes to hold on in the tackle. Pollard sets up a line-out on halfway.
50 PENALTY, BULLS, POLLARD 13-13. No mistake from Pollard this time.
49 Kyle Cooper, Rayno Gerber and Edwin Hewitt come on to boost the Sharks pack but the immediate effect is not a good one as they concede a penalty from the scrum.
48 Pollard's effort comes off the post and it's the Bulls who are quickest to react and grab the loose ball. The Sharks turn it over though and clear. Mastriet runs it back at them and he breaks into the Sharks half. Hattingh breaks through the middle, he's been really strong today! Disappointing for Snyman as play is halted by a knock on at the base from the scrum-half.
43 A nice break from Ludik gets the Sharks moving but again poor basics lets the home side down as a sloppy pass is knocked on by Botes.
42 Jacques Engelbrecht is on for Ross who took a knock early in the first half and the flank makes his presence felt early on as he bulldozers past two players. There is a knock on from Beyers though and the Sharks have a scrum just on their side of halfway.
41 Pollard gets the second half underway.
40 Sharks 13-10 Blue Bulls. Both teams will feel they could have made more of opportunities that came their way, but the Sharks in particular haven't made the most of their chances. Time will tell if they're made to pay.
40 PENALTY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA 13-10. The Sharks head into the shed with the lead as Zeilinga finds the target.
40 Pollard clears under pressure and can only find the 22. Effective pick and goes from Burden and Deysel after the line-out. The Bulls' counter drive is good but it's illegal and the Sharks have a penalty on the hooter. Referee Kaplan has a word with Ulrich Beyers who has a bit too much to say for Kaplan's liking.
39 Reinach snipes from the scrum and does well, breaking to within five from the line. A knock forward from Burden ends the move though.
37 Visser knocks on from the restart and the Sharks have a chance to attack with the half nearly done.
36 PENALTY, BULLS, POLLARD 10-10. A sweet strike from Pollard from near in front and we're level at 10-all
35 The Bulls have a line-out just inside their own half. Snyman puts in the box kick and Mastriet does enough to ensure the ball comes back on the Bulls half. The Bulls bash it up through seven phases before they go to a penalty for off-side from the Sharks.
32 The Bulls are now back to 15 as they take the line-out on halfway. Snyman kicks over the top and Mvovo collects and returns the kick but he's taken by the shoulder of Willemse and the Sharks are awarded a penalty where the ball landed, about five inside the Bulls' half. Replays suggest that the Bulls man is perhaps a touch lucky not to have gotten a yellow. The penalty attempt from Zeilinga is just short though.
30 Deysle bashes the ball up the middle and Reinach spots a gap, off-loading to Burden. The Sharks work it up close, going through the phases before it's given to the backs and Ndungane slices through but there is a suspicion of obstruction and those prove to be correct with Ludik's dummy run taking out Waylon Murray.
27 The Bulls win a penalty from the scrum, with Chadwick the man penalised. Ross collects at the back of the resulting line-out but the Sharks rip away possession. An exchange of up and unders ends favourably for the Bulls as Akona Ndungane collects in the Sharks 22 but again the home side are able to execute a turnover at ruck time, with Ludik doing the business this time.
24 Burden can't hook the ball back but the Sharks are still able to retain possession from the scrum. Marais is brought into the line but he's quickly cut down. Ludik does well to grab possession but he loses the ball in the tackle.
22 The Sharks spread it wide but Mastriet gets a hand to the ball as he tries to execute an intercept and the Sharks have a scrum just on the Bulls side of the visitor's 10m line.
21 Good defence out wide from the Sharks so the Bulls bring it back, with Hattingh busting up the middle. The ball goes back to Pollard who puts over a great drop. The assistant referee has a report though and Frik Kirsten has been called up for an illegal tackle and his sent to the sin bin.
20 The Bulls look to bash it up but Ross knocks on and the Sharks look to break out. Ndungane runs out of space out wide and tries to find Marais on his inside but the ball doesn't go to hand and the Bulls have a line-out. Some rather aimless kicking ends with a poor kick from Odwa Ndungane that goes over the Bulls' deadball line and we go back for a scrum just inside the Sharks half.
17 Centre Heimar Williams is brought into the line with good effect but Burden knocks on and the Bulls clear. The Sharks look to run it out of their own half, but a forward pass from Odwa Ndungane sees the Bulls awarded a try just over the Sharks' 10m line.
15 The Sharks are doing well to grab possession at the breakdown and Reinach takes advantage, finding space behind the Bulls defence but Pollard puts in a great clearance to take play back into the Sharks half. Willemse again infringes at the line-out, he's off-side this time, and Zeilinga sets up the line-out on the Bulls 22.
13 PENALTY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA 10-7. The Sharks number 10 adds three more to the total.
13 A luck escape for Zeilinga as he knocks on in midfield but they go back for taking the jumore out in the air. It's a tough call against Paul Willemse.
12 Zeilinga doesn't make much ground with the clearance from the restart and the Bulls attack. Botes gets his second turnover of the match at this early stage and Zeilinga finds space at the back. The Bulls clear and the Sharks take the line-out quickly. After five phases Zeilinga goes to the boot once more with a little chip over the top but Akona Ndungae is well positioned. The two teams exchange kicks with Reinach finding space at the back after Visser didn't find touch. Mastriet finds touch just short of the Bulls' 10m line.
8 CONVERSION, ZEILINGA 7-7. From the touchline Zeilinga makes no mistake.
7 TRY, SHARKS, MARAIS 5-7. It's end to end stuff as the Sharks hit back. The hosts were attacking but going nowhere, Zeilinga went to the boot to gain some territory and it works a treat as Marais charges down Visser's attempted clearance and he collects and goes over for the five-pointer.
5 CONVERSION, BULLS, POLLARD. Pollard notches up his first points in Currie Cup rugby.
5 TRY, BULLS, NDUNGANE 5-0. Hatttingh collects the line-out on the Bulls 22. Super driving maul from the Bulls as they surge into Sharks territory. They flick the ball down the short side and Sampie Mastriet is put into space by a great flat pass from Pollard. The winger passes inside to Jurgen Visser who in turn puts Akona Ndungane into space and he trots over for the score.
3 The Bulls look strong from the outset, with backs and forwards combining well to take play into the Sharks' half. The ball is turned over though, with Botes getting the steal and Zeilinga puts in a good kick to push the Bulls back into their 22. Chadwick pinches it from the Bulls in the ruck but Reinach knocks it on as a tailing boot tips the ball as he looks to pass. From the scrum in the Bulls 22, the visitors are awarded a penalty for collapsing.
0 Fred Zeilinga gets the game underway.
0 The Sharks have made a handful of changes to the team that beat the Cheetahs last time out. Among the backs, Cobus Reinach comes in at scrum-half for his first start of the campaign while Odwa Ndungane has shaken off a hamstring niggle to return on the wing. In the pack, Craig Burden replaces Kyle Cooper at hooker while Peet Marais takes over from Edwin Hewitt in the second row. For the Bulls, the biggest change sees South Africa U20 fly-half Handr? Pollard get his first start at Currie Cup level.
0 Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Currie Cup clash between the Sharks and the Blue Bulls from Durban.

MOSES LAKE - Moses Lake police say a 14-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly shooting his parents.
Police said officers responded to a call at a home where they found two adults with wounds.
The Columbian Basin Herald identified the two adults as the boy's parents. Both victims were transported to an out of area hospital for treatment.
Police didn't provide further details on the incident.
According to school officials, the boy is a student at Moses Lake Christian Academy. A dance scheduled for Saturday has been canceled because of the incident.
A meeting for students, parents and others associated with the school was scheduled for Saturday evening.
A message on the school s Facebook page from its director and interim director reads as follows:
This is a message from Stephanie Voigt and Brian Meiners to all students, parents and those who support the Moses Lake Christian Academy.
We don t have much information to share right now, but we want to acknowledge that one of our students was involved in an off-campus shooting last night. The student was the shooter and he is in police custody. There are two victims who are hospitalized. We do not have information on their conditions, and in coordination with the Moses Lake Police Department, we will wait for the MLPD to release specific information on the investigation and the alleged crime. Our information will be coordinated with Moses Lake Police to make sure the investigation s integrity is sustained. We are directing the media to contact Moses Lake Police for information specific to the investigation.
There is no risk to other students or the school.
We are extremely saddened by this incident and we are praying for the student and the victims. We are a small school and everyone is extremely close, which is a blessing because that is one of the qualities which will help us all get through this tragedy.

Florida and the Civil War provides online access to primary sources about the American Civil War from the collections of the Department of Special & Area Studies Collections, George A. Smathers Library, University of Florida.
Florida had the smallest population of any state in the Confederacy in 1861 and stood at the far edge of conflict. Yet Floridians were at the center of most of the war's major battles. Because of this, letters sent home from the battlefronts cover a broad spectrum of events and opinions. Regiments from Florida served with the Army of Northern Virginia from shortly after the Battle of Bull Run through Gettysburg and Appomattox. Other Florida regiments were dispatched westward to serve with the Army of Tennessee, fighting at Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge in 1862 and 1863, and then challenging the Union drive for Atlanta in 1864.
Collections in this project also provide a wealth of information about divided loyalties and realms of influence within Florida. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Union forces quickly took over key Florida ports like Fernandina, Key West, and Tampa, while the Confederacy held Tallahassee and the interior. The two sides engaged in a long duel for Pensacola and control of Jacksonville and the St. Johns River changed hands repeatedly. Residents, home guard soldiers, and northern troops all left behind written records of their experiences in a state torn apart.
Addition of contents to this site is ongoing. A core collection consists of the J. Patton Anderson Papers, which document the career of Confederate general James Patton Anderson, his military command in the West, Georgia, and Florida, and the fate of his family before, during, and after the war. This site also draws on the family papers and Civil War letters in the Miscellaneous Manuscript Collection of the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History. Wherever possible, digital versions of original handwritten documents are accompanied by easy-to-read transcriptions.

Fellow kitty parents, we made a promise. We took an oath. We vowed to love, cuddle and care for our feline friends in times of sickness and health. But with veterinary costs on the rise, how do we keep doing what's best for them without breaking the bank? One word: prevention. In honor of Take Your Cat to the Vet Week, the following tips will help you save on vet care—and help them live longer, healthier lives.
Don't skip yearly exams. This is a big no-no. Remember the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" Well, it applies to our pets, too. It's much more expensive—and risky—to treat an illness than to protect against it.
Vaccinate! Hard times are not an excuse to skip your cat's annual shots, but it does make sense to talk to your vet about creating a vaccine protocol specific to their needs. Some vaccines are optional, while others are essential in preventing serious diseases.
You are what you eat. A good quality cat food—formulated under the guidelines of the American Association of Feed Control Officials—is often more cost effective than a cheap or homemade diet. Also, avoid overfeeding your feline, which can lead to obesity.
Spaying or neutering can save lots of money. This simple action prevents serious health problems including uterine, ovarian and testicular cancer. Visit our online database to find a low-cost program in your area. If you live in New York City, check out our mobile clinic.
For other measures you can take to help cut down on vet costs, check out our Saving Money on Vet Care section.
Each year, thousands of beloved companions succumb to heatstroke and suffocation when left in parked cars. It happens most often when people make quick stops—the dry cleaners, the bank or the local deli. Folks, we need to be clear on this: It takes only minutes for your pet to face death—and it doesn't have to be that hot out. On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 160 degrees. Even with the windows cracked.
You can help save pets from dying in hot cars. Simply take the following actions:
- Educate people. Hang this printable flyer [PDF] up in your local grocery store, veterinary hospital, animal shelter and other local businesses.
- If you see something, say something. If you see a dog alone in a vehicle, immediately call animal control or 911. Local law officials have the ability to enter vehicle and rescue the pet. Do not leave until help has arrived.
- Try to find the car's owner. If you are out and you see a dog locked in a car, tell the nearby store manager immediately. Don't be shy.
- And please, no matter how much your dog loves to go along when you run errands, don't take a chance. Leave her home where she is safe.

Noni has been under our care for 423 days—and that is just way too long. She's receiving lots of attention and socialization with us, but even the ASPCA Adoption Center is no substitute for a loving family.
Noni is one of the prettiest, softest tuxie ladies we've ever seen, and she loves interacting with people, whether she's chasing a toy or receiving a few snuggles. But Noni's life has been anything but easy. She once lived in a hoarding home, and she came to us emaciated; we soon discovered that Noni had an untreated hyperthyroid condition. Our dedicated veterinary staff got Noni back on track, and now she is healthy and flourishing.
But Noni's adopter will need to keep her healthy, and that means not only twice-daily medicine for hyperthyroidism but special food for her sensitive tummy.
We can't wait to see Noni's story of triumph and recovery close with a happy ending, and neither can she. If you've got room in your heart for a special lady like Noni, please consider meeting her today at the ASPCA Adoption Center in NYC. Noni enjoys other cats and wouldn't mind a home with a resident feline friend. If you have any questions, please call the Adoption Desk at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900.
If you can't bring her home, please share her on Facebook and Twitter. Online fans: You've helped us find homes for animals before—let's do it again for Noni!
Black cats have never had it easy. In fact, they have long been considered bad luck and unfairly linked to witchcraft for centuries. With it being Friday the 13th, we think it's the perfect time to put some common assumptions about black cats to the test.
Black Cats Bring Bad Luck
False. In reality the color of a cat's coat has nothing to do with good or bad luck. And just for the record, in many other cultures, a black cat is a prized pet. In places like Japan and the British Isles, they're even thought to bring their pet parents good luck!
Black Cats Are Evil
False. Sure they may jump on the kitchen counter or use your favorite chair as a scratching post. And just maybe they even try to nibble your toes while you sleep. All cats can be playful. But evil? We think not.
Black Cats Are Often Unwanted
True. Ask any shelter or rescue worker and they will tell you—black cats are the hardest to get adopted. In fact, they are only half as likely to find homes as other cats. So, what's the problem? An unfairly earned reputation? Yep.
Black Cats Make Awesome Pets!
True. Black cats may get a bad rap, but really they're just as lovable as the next furry feline. So help us turn their luck around.Share this article with your friends, and consider adopting one of the cuties currently available at the ASPCA Adoption Center!
Ready for a little romance next Monday? As you make your Valentine's Day plans, consider giving your dog or cat the sweet gift of safety. According to ASPCA experts, Valentine's Day is one of the most poisonous days of the year for pets. Here are a few tips to ensure a loving and safe holiday—for Romeos and Rovers alike!
We all know a little ambiance goes a long way on Valentine's Day, and a candlelit dinner is about as high on the romantic scale as you can get—but please don't leave the room while flames are still burning. Many pets are attracted to the light and could get seriously singed.
And while nothing says I love you like a box of gourmet chocolates, let's not forget cocoa is potentially life-threatening to our pets. Milk, dark, semi-sweet and baker's—all kinds of chocolate—can affect your pet's gastrointestinal, neurological, and cardiac systems. So make sure not to share that box of chocolate (with your pet at least) and more importantly, don't leave it on a low shelf or table where Fido can find it!
Before sending your honey a gift that blooms, remember that certain flowers including lilies, daisies and baby's breath can be potentially fatal to cats and dogs. Check out our Safe Flower Guide for a list of safe alternatives.
Finally, when choosing whom to give gifts from the heart, don't forget your beloved companions. Just make sure to show your love with toys that are pet-safe. Check out the ASPCA Online Store for a great selection of Valentine's pet-friendly gifts that are sure to please. And if you're not sure what to get your human love, consider making a Gift Donation to the ASPCA—the perfect way to celebrate special people and saves lives.

Arlington, Virginia
Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is located directly across the Potomac River to the southwest of Washington, D.C. Formerly part of the District of Columbia, the land now composing the county was retroceded to Virginia on July 9, 1846, in an act of Congress that took effect in 1847. It was called Alexandria County from that date until March 16, 1920, when an act of the General Assembly changed its name to Arlington County.
Arlington is the location of Arlington National Cemetery, Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, Fort Myer, the Pentagon Memorial, the USMC War Memorial, the Air Force Memorial, and numerous other monuments.

text: Comment: Got these for doing some touring on my V-Star 1300. With the OEM Yamaha hold off bars the fit is perfect like made for the bike and bars. Bottom of right bag is 2" above Slash down Cobra pipes; should be OK with stock bazooka also I would think. I did have to replace the supplied leather string that ties the two bags together. It just broke too easy when I pulled on it. Recommend using small polyester or nylopn sash cord (1/8"); I use same in black fish net type. I also marked and punched holes to tie bags to stand off bars more securely, and thus not entirely dependent on zippers. Now they are semi-ridged mounts and very functional. Waterproof? No way. I've been using garbage bags and ziplocks to keep my thing dry inside my backpacks for years anyways and will do the same with these bags. Mine have the studs on top and for sure these would leak if bags get soaked for any length of time. Still, like others suggest, I got a lot more than I put out, and had fun fitting and altering to my needs. Side note: I am going to cut the carry handles off and use the metal rings to secure my tent on one side and sleeping pad on the other, perfect; a bonus I was wondering how I was going to work out. These bags combined with Jafrum's expandable sisybar bag will give me plenty of carry capacity and options for all my needs camping and road trippin. Jafrum has made me smile more than once, thanks.

I really liked Sam's article on Islam and the Future of Liberalism but when I forwarded it to a friend, I was even more convinced by his response. I didn't see any place to comment on the article on the website but then I found these forums, which I suppose is the appropriate venue. Here's what my friend wrote:
It seems to me that, despite his posturing to the contrary, at the heart of Harris' position is this: "if ever a state organized around a religion was justified, it is the Jewish state of Israel…And if ever criticism of a religious state was unjustified, it is the criticism of Israel."
His caveat that, in principle, he finds a Jewish state obnoxious doesn't seem to interfere with his belief in Israel's righteousness and propriety. He says not a word about the problems surrounding its creation. Rather he writes: "It doesn't take many emails containing sentences like "The United States and Israel are the greatest terrorist states on earth" to make me feel that liberalism is simply doomed."
Now the definition of what constitutes terrorism might be open to debate but Harris owes us more than a dismissive wave of his hand as a response to the folks who, I take it, challenged his definition terrorism with the idea that these two nuclear powers cultivate fear to get their way in the world.
What Harris' essay offers is attitude and anecdote and bluster rather than a fair restatement of the opposition to him, followed by a thoughtful cogent response. And he forgets history when to take it into account would complicate his assertion of a straight-line causal connection between the nature of Islam and the anger and militancy that we see today in the Islamic world.
He entirely ignores the American actions in Iran that led to the ascendancy of the Ayatollahs. He must be aware that before the CIA overthrew the secular, center-left government of Mosaddegh and instituted the Shah's torture state, Iran's Islam wasn't what it has become. Hezbollah is Islamic but the Shiites of Southern Lebanon didn't create Hezbollah because it developed, inevitably and necessarily, out of Islam. The Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon was the incubator for Hezbollah.
And although it's true that there was shelling across the border from Lebanon before the invasion and occupation, it's also true and relevant that the Palestinians who were doing the shelling were not doing so because their religion demanded it but because their families had been driven from their homes in Palestine and were not allowed to return. They were and are stateless and impoverished and living in squalid refugee camps.
Similarly, Harris may conclude that Hamas is evil, but we should remember that Palestinian resistance was originally secular. Israeli policy intentionally forced many Palestinians away from secular Fatah and other organizations and into the hands of Islamist Hamas. And then there are all of the other repressive governments in the Islamic world that hold power by virtue of American support and in so-called American interests.
Harris chooses to dismiss the possibility that any of this accounts for the actions of the people involved.Its all Islam. And here is where it leads, he writes: "I also believe that wherever we can feasibly stop the abuse of women and girls, we should. An ability to do this in places like Afghanistan, and throughout the world, would be one of the benefits of having a global civil society and a genuine regime of international law."
It has a nice ring to it, this Global Civil Society. But Harris doesn't specify who would exercise this wonderful "ability" and who will have this "ability" exercised upon them. He clearly thinks that a large portion of humanity is too in thrall to Islam to be capable of being entrusted to share in defining that 'global' society. So it's global in its reach not so much in its composition.
Harris' rationale for supporting moves in the direction of strengthening such a global authority is not new. Selective horror at the crimes of Islamists, denial of our own agency in creating the anger that we face in much of the world, uncritical support of Israel and a denial of its agency in the anger that faces it, all propped up with the simplistic, comforting assertion that "the moral high ground here is clear, and we are standing on it" without admitting any complicating considerations.
Perhaps Harris might quibble with aspects of the world's existing international global enforcement capability but it's the only one that is real enough to discuss in any practical way. It's growing, although not without opposition and not without causing great human suffering. And it is not in any serious way motivated by a desire to protect the world's women.

Rugby legend Jonah Lomu's visit to the Australian squad has given the beaten semi-finalists perspective that there are things greater than a rugby tournament.
New Zealand's leading rugby site Rugbyheaven described the visit as such:
Jonah Lomu, the ailing All Black rugby legend who knows all about World Cup heartbreak, has risen from his sick bed to give the Wallabies a pep-talk.
The Wallabies were inconsolable after their 20-6 semifinal drubbing at the hands of the All Blacks.
But the players, struggling to lift for Friday's third place playoff with Wales, went into a Twitter frenzy after meeting the great man today.
Standout flanker David Pocock tweeted a photo of himself and winger James O'Connor with the big man.
"Great to meet the legendary #JonahLomu. What a good bloke too," Pocock wrote.
Pocock said Digby Ioane was especially impressed: "So good seeing how excited @digbyioane was meeting Jonah Lomu! 'He said my name!'"
Ioane replied: "Made my day."
Quade Cooper – the flawed Kiwi-born first five-eighth cast as the villain of the tournament and booed with every touch of the ball – took more than most from meeting Lomu.
"Big thanks to jonah for giving his time & having a chat. Theres no better person to talk to about life, rugby & expectation," Cooper tweeted.
Lomu's first World Cup, in 1995, made him a star but he was part of an All Blacks team that failed to grab the trophy in the final despite being heavy favourites.
Again the All Blacks were favoured to take out the 1999 tournament but fell apart in the second half of their semifinal against France. Lomu was one of the only players to emerge with credit from that match.
A Wallabies spokesman said plans for Lomu to meet up with the team had been in the pipeline for some time.
He said Robbie Deans, who was Lomu's last backs coach for the All Blacks, kept in regular contact with Lomu and had arranged for him to come and meet the team.
He has also played against more experienced team members Nathan Sharpe and Radike Samo.
Lomu spent the morning watching the Wallabies training and then spoke with a number of players afterwards. He will also have dinner with the team tomorrow night.
"Jonah has the experience of being there, he certainly understands the disappointment (of losing in a Rugby World Cup final playoff game) and where the guys are at.
"For the Quade Coopers and the James O'Connors of the team, having the chance to chew the fat with Jonah Lomu is an amazing experience.
"[Lomu] has never lost his affinity for the team experience and he really wanted to watch the training. He was a really positive influence on the team which is amazing given what he has been through."
The spokesman was at pains to point out that Lomu had not visited the Wallabies team in lieu of the All Blacks and said Lomu kept in regular contact with many in the All Blacks team.
It's been nearly four weeks since Lomu was rushed to hospital for kidney failure. He told the latest edition of the New Zealand Woman's Weekly he still wasn't sure "how this is going to end".
Moments after he was released from hospital 10 days ago, he was readmitted with a fever.
He was administered "a huge concoction of drugs" to stop his body rejecting the transplanted kidney he received from ZM radio announcer Grant Kereama in 2004.
The malfunctioning transplant "had a huge knock on effect on the rest of my body", Lomu told the magazine.
He is now back out of hospital, but suffers bouts of tiredness and nausea.
He described having a constant "chalky taste" in his mouth from the drugs, some of which are taken directly through lines in his chest so that he has to sponge bath instead of shower.
He is also on dialysis four times a week.

COVINGTON - Miami County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating a drowning at Greenville Falls, west of Covington.
Crews responded to the falls, near the intersection of Rangeline and Covington-Gettysburg Road around 4 p.m. on the report of someone in the water.
The scene was described as approximately 1000 feet above the falls near the "old dam". Covington Patrolman Jeremy Bubeck was first on the scene, followed closely by Covington firefighters Sam Palsgrove and Jeremy Yingst, both of whom entered the water to attempt to rescue the victim, identified as Toni Fischbach, 65, of Wapakoneta.
Their efforts were hampered by the raging force of the high water flowing toward the nearby falls.
Rescuers were able to reach Fischbach and get her to shore after about 20 minutes.
Fischbach was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center by the Covington Rescue Squad. Lt. Michael Whaely of the sheriff's office said that she passed away around 8 p.m. in spite of heroic efforts by Covington EMS and UVMC personnel to save her.
A detective from the sheriff's office was called to the scene, as was Miami County Victim Witness.
Witnesses on the scene said that a Fishbach and her husband were hiking and taking photos on the trail above the falls when she allegedly slipped on ice while exploring around "the old dam," approximately a quarter mile west of the falls.
The investigation is ongoing.

Choosing best resolution/quality setting for recording video
by pdaphone - 2/14/13 5:32 AM
I just bought a Sony HDR-CX260V camcorder that I intend to use for recording volleyball matches my daughter is playing in. It will be mounted on a tripod and record continuously through each match. I will later edit the video to pull out clips and assemble them to send to a college coaches. I am guessing they will watch them on their computer, but not sure about that yet.... may use a DVD player.
I bought some 64G cards and also have extended batteries.
So looking at the manual, I'm not sure how much benefit I gain in choosing the different quality levels vs. that added battery drain and space usage.
PS - 28Mbps 1920 x1080
FX - 24Mbps 1920 x 1080
FH - 17Mbps 1920 x 1080
HQ - 9Mbps 1440 x1080
LP - 5Mbps 1440 x 1080
and then whether to choose interlaced or progressive.
The default is HQ and claims to go 660-880 minutes on 64G.
Going with FX would cut that down to 360 minutes on a 64G card.
I'm not sure if they increased quality levels are going to dramatically change the output.

Tuesday, January 7, 2014
Rumor has it that NICKI MINAJ is PREGNANT, and LIL WAYNE is the father. They've always claimed their relationship is platonic, and Wayne is engaged to another woman. But Nicki was reportedly seen at a dinner recently with a baby bump, and she was drinking water instead of booze.
The people at "Maxim" magazine have named 38-year-old EVA LONGORIA their Woman of the Year. She says, quote, "It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover." Eva actually had to reschedule her "Maxim" interview because she was getting her MASTERS. She says, quote, "I was like, 'My brain can't jump that fast from a 'Maxim' interview to a thesis!'"
JENNA JAMESON went online to ask her followers to help her track down a guy who was harassing her. She even showed her boobs as incentive. Within an hour, she had the guy's home address, driver's license number, social security number and credit score.
"Forbes" has released its annual "30 Under 30" list of "do-gooders" who are "reinventing the world", and it features a ton of celebrities. There are actually a total of 450 people on the list, in 15 different categories. So among all the inventors and scientists, you'll find MILEY CYRUS, JENNIFER LAWRENCE, JUSTIN BIEBER, RIHANNA, and ONE DIRECTION, to name a few.

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, January 6, 2014
CHARLIE SHEEN had been nothing but gracious to ASHTON KUTCHER after he took his place on "Two and a Half Men". But that grace period is apparently OVER. Yesterday, Charlie Tweeted a promo picture from the show, featuring Ashton and JON CRYER, along with the following caption: "Hey Jon!!! u r a GENIUS!!! I effin love and MISS YOU old pal! Q; who's your lame sidekick?" And he added the hashtag, "#NiceTryCanonBoy."
Also, Charlie Sheen claims he got married sometime last week. Sheen said Sunday he married his porn star girlfriend, Brett Rossi, while on their trip to Iceland over the New Year.
The rumor mill on the street claims that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are going through a rocky patch in their marriage, and Nicole has reportedly dropped about 20 pounds in just a few months. She is looking dangerously thin, and friends and family are worried about her.
PAUL WALKER'S "Fast and Furious" character Brian O'Connor won't be killed off in the upcoming 7th installment. Instead, the filmmakers will "retire" the character in a way that gives him a proper send-off and allows the franchise to continue without him. Meanwhile, the newly-released autopsy report spells out the gruesome injuries that killed Paul.
1/3/14 Khloe Preggers?

Friday, January 3, 2013
Mariah Carey has started a new holiday tradition. She has been spending her time performing for dictators. RadarOnline reports that just weeks after she raked in $1 million for a performance for the controversial President of Angola, she spent New Year's Eve singing at a party hosted by the Sultan of Brunei, whom CBS News has called one of "the world's enduring dictators."
MediaTakeOut.com is reporting that Khloe Kardashian is pregnant. And while her "people" are denying it, the website says it's all fact. Reportedly, Khloe announced her pregnancy and asked the entire family to keep the news quiet. Khloe's momanger Kris is working on the proper time and place to make the announcement. –Also, Khloe is said to be "pretty sure" it's Lamar Odem's baby, but there is a possibility that rumored boyfriend, Matt Kemp's.
Are Sean Penn and Charlize Theron the newest celeb couple of 2014? Sure looks like it. The two sparked romance rumors over New Year's as they were photographed vacationing together at Sean's home in Hawaii. A witness described the pair as "very close and comfortable together."
1/2/14 James Avery Dies
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily POyet Webb
Thursday, January 2, 2014
James Avery -- the beloved dad on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" – died Tuesday night at the age of 68. Sources say Avery had undergone open heart surgery and took a turn for the worse Tuesday. Reportedly, his wife, Barbara, had been at his bedside but left for a short period of time and when she came back ... she learned he had just died.
Bar Rafaeli apparently believed she needed some help in the beauty department. The supermodel underwent a "vampire facial," which is apparently all the rage with the rich and famous. Bar shared a picture of herself during the procedure with blood all over her face. The facial involves drawing blood from the arm and separating it into platelet-rich plasma using a centrifuge. That's then combined with Restylane or Juvederm, and injected into the patient's face to stimulate collagen production. It allegedly creates new skin and removes fine lines. Umm….gross!
Tori Spelling continues to put on a happy holiday face despite the cheating rumors surrounding her husband Dean McDermott. Tori tweeted a New Year's Day message and photo to her fans, speaking volumes in just a few words. She wrote, "Happy New Year! Love, The McDermotts", along with a photo on her website that showed her cuddling with her husband and kids.

Best Children's Book That Isn't Really a Children's Book
Billed as A Christmas Story," Lemony Snicket's The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming is really a Hanukkah story, but in the best, most complicated sense. The titular pancake—rendered in mustard tones, with perpetually raised eyebrows, by the retro-chic illustrator Lisa Brown—escapes a pan of hot oil and goes running out into the snow. There he encounters the accoutrements of an American Christmas—a set of colored lights, a candy cane, and a pine tree—all of which try to fit him into their noel-centric universe. So you're basically hash browns," the colored lights tell him. Maybe you can be served alongside a Christmas ham." It's no wonder the poor latke can't stop screaming. —Joanna Smith Rakoff
Best One-Woman Show You'll Ever Walk Out Of
In Dai (Enough), Iris Bahr plays eleven patrons at a Tel Aviv café, ranging from a retired Israeli army general to a Russian prostitute. Each character gets a scene, and each scene ends abruptly (as does the life of the character) with a violent blast: the lights go out, and there's a horrific sound collage of shattering glass and screaming. Yet the show is very funny. Bahr (who grew up in Israel and the Bronx) is a tremendous performer, fully inhabiting each character. So why did I walk out? Because those blasts shattered my nerves every time. Yes, that's the point—we're meant to experience viscerally, for an hour, what Israelis (and people in many other parts of the world) experience every day. I lasted only thirty minutes. Still, I recommend the show, which has been revived in New York City (you can also get a taste of it here). But I'm holding out for a DVD. —Julie Subrin
Best Concentration-Camp Romance
Michèle Ohayon's Holocaust documentary Steal a Pencil for Me focuses on the 60-year marriage of the Dutch Jews Jack Polak and Ina Soep, whose love flourished while they were imprisoned in Westerbork and then in Bergen-Belsen—and while Polak was married to someone else, who was also in the camps. Polak's and Soep's eloquent, passionate letters, which were passed back and forth furtively at the time, are artfully read out loud throughout. The film's frank look at their experiences and memories (and their own candor in talking about their sometimes unflattering behavior under unfathomable duress) is fresh, incisive, and unexpectedly entertaining, and gives the viewer a new perspective on the Dutch Jewish community, too often associated only with Anne Frank. —Lawrence Levi
Best Graphic Novel That Contains Not a Single Drawing
Howard Jacobson's Kalooki Nights, about Maxie Glickman, a cartoonist en route to selling out his Orthodox childhood chum (a conflicted man who gasses his own parents) to a tabloid television program, is outrageously hilarious, sometimes simply outrageous, and altogether the most creative novel I've read this year. Its absurdities (Glickman, the brains behind a comic history called Five Thousand Years of Bitterness, weds only women with umlauts in their names and has an Irish brother-in-law who thinks the k in knish is silent) leaven its graver, astute meditations on love, loss, and identity politics in postwar Manchester. Who is a Jew and where ought his loyalties lie? The question arises, but Jacobson takes no sides. Rather, he conjures an engrossing microcosm that along the way invokes icons like Maimonides, Ilse Koch, Harvey Kurtzman, and Mark Rothko—a little something for everyone. —Sara Ivry
Best Novel to Read Aloud in a Mel Brooks-Style German Accent
By turns bombastic and heartbreaking, Irene Dische's pitch-perfect The Empress of Weehawken is presented as the memoir—a gory little narrative . . . a kind of True Confession"—of Elisabeth Rother, a haughty German of aristocratic stock (or so she believes) who defies her family and marries a Jewish doctor, a decade or so before the Nazis' rise to power. Needless to say, things get bad for the Rothers, despite the doktor's conversion to Catholicism. They wind up in the New Jersey city of the title, but the war eventually takes its toll, even on them, and their grandchildren begin to wonder about their heritage. The novel's drive comes from Elisabeth's hilarious, unbridled narration, which often proves slyly unreliable in its hardness. It's a mystery that I cannot explain . . . why God singled me out to practically drown in Jewry," she moans, even as she reads Der Aufbau, a Jewish newspaper, and waits at the mailbox for news of her husband's beloved relations. — Joanna Smith Rakoff
Best Argument for Abandoning the Good Jewish Girl" Stereotype Once and for All
Amy Winehouse's sultry neo-Motown sound and otherworldly voice are so enchanting that you almost don't notice her songs' debauched lyrics. (Her debauched life, on the other hand, has been impossible to ignore.) The hard-living Jewish antiprincess has made it clear that, when it comes to ubiquitous pop chanteuses, even the coffeehouse set is ready to trade in the Nora Joneses and Vanessa Carltons of years past for something a little racier. Her second album, Back to Black, is an irresistible mix of romantic pleasure and frustrated pain; we're more likely to remember Winehouse's addictive single Rehab" than the behavior that has landed her in the real thing. Here's hoping she keeps making them. —Hadara Graubart
Best Excuse to Continue Quoting Gertrude Stein without Having Read Her
Halfway through Two Lives: Gertrude and Alice, her book about Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, Janet Malcolm recounts a meeting in which she confessed to some Stein scholars that Stein's near-incomprehensible writing is not congenial to me." The scholars, she recalls, looked at me pityingly. 'Well, you're honest,'" one said. Malcolm doesn't take it for granted that Stein's writing is brilliant; instead, she seems most interested in the writer as a great eccentric of the twentieth century, a Jewish lesbian who survived Vichy France through the sheer force of her denial—and with the help of a Nazi-sympathizing friend. Finding an author more interesting than her work is a common enough experience—and source of guilt—for readers of literary biographies, and Malcolm suggests with refreshing candor that it might be for their writers, too. The transparency with which she discusses her research process reels us in, and the obvious pleasure she takes in it keeps us hooked. —Marissa Brostoff
Best Heartwarming Movie about Jews and Muslims That Isn't The Band's Visit
In Arranged, two Brooklyn women in their early twenties—an Orthodox Jew (Zoe Lister-Jones) and a Syrian-born Muslim (Francis Benhamou)—are grade-school teachers whose respective parents intend to marry them off. As they adapt to their secular students (who ask, Don't Muslims want to kill Jews?") and resist disappointing suitors, they bond. If these sound like the ingredients of a ho-hum indie drama, they are, but the restrained lead performances and an insightful script (by Stefan Schaefer, who directed with Diane Crespo) make it surprisingly affecting. Comic touches like Gary Shteyngart's cameo as an aspiring husband add to its charm. In comparison, the calculated quirkiness of The Band's Visit—the Israeli movie that's jerking tears worldwide—seems all the more shallow. —Lawrence Levi
Best Antidote for Gossip Girl
As the television adaptation of Cecily von Ziegesar's blockbuster series claws its way up the Nielsen ratings, a couple of recent novels provide a refreshing reminder that your average adolescent isn't a Prada-clad, martini-swilling, spirit-crushing mean girl, intent on sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend. Margo Rabb's impossibly bleak, unflinchingly honest Cures for Heartbreak follows fifteen-year-old Mia Pearlman through the year following her mother's sudden death, from the cookie-cutter funeral (When the rabbi arrived we realized God was definitely a comedian from the Borscht Belt") through her father's subsequent heart attack ('Sable. Lox. Kippers. Sturgeon,'" he moans, lamenting the salty foods he can no longer eat) and remarriage. And in Dana Reinhardt's spry, genuine A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life, ultranormal New England teen Simone Turner-Bloom discovers that her birth mother, Rivka, is Jewish—and, thus, so is Simone. If both novels, in précis, sound like treatments for afterschool specials, the reality is anything but. Rabb nails the all-consuming anxiety and loneliness of mourning (exacerbated by the horror of adolescence) and Steinhardt is unafraid to send Simone questing after serious spiritual and ethical questions. —Joanna Smith Rakoff
Is there any choice? The beloved 2nd Avenue Deli, which was unceremoniously shuttered two years ago, has just reopened its doors. No matter that it's about a mile further uptown, on an undistinguished block of East 33rd Street, and about half the size of the original space: the restaurant is the real deal, resuscitated by Jeremy Lebewohl, the 25-year-old nephew of the deli's founder, Abe Lebewohl. Much of the menu has been preserved, a good portion of the staff has been rehired, and many of the physical details have been recreated (the trademark ceramic tile floor has been installed, and while Molly Picon has lost her room, pictures of her line the walls). And the food does not disappoint: I can't report on most of the menu, but the chopped liver (handed out on strips of challah to famished customers waiting in line on opening day) and the pastrami—warm, on soft rye—were heart-stoppingly delicious, nearly worth a two-year wait. —Ellen Umansky
Best Provocation of Nonfiction Readers through a Work of Make-Believe
Monitoring the comments posted in response to an interview with Michael Chabon about his novel The Yiddish Policemen's Union was disheartening. Here was a book that took the noir trope made legendary by Raymond Chandler and speckled it with insider locutions that begged to be puzzled out (a sholom [peace] here meant a gun, or piece) and then savored. Its opening gambit, that Israel as we know it today does not exist (and that Alaska has become the Jews' designated homeland), incited howls of foul. More alarming, though, is the deduction that Chabon's conceit means he's anti-Zionist. To me, Chabon's feelings on Israel are irrelevant. In all the clatter of J'accuse! readers are missing out on something delicious: the clever, wild world of gumshoes, outsiders, and heroes that Chabon has so lovingly invented. —Sara Ivry
Best Nazi-Loving Role Model
The Hague, 1944: A frisky young singer joins the resistance after narrowly escaping the Nazis' massacre of her family. To help free a resistance leader's captured son, she seduces the handsome local head of the Gestapo. Do they fall in love? Of course! But in Black Book, the wild, violent, sexy thriller by the Dutch provocateur Paul Verhoeven, that's mere plot. Verhoeven is also out to expose his countrymen's anti-Semitism and barbarity. He does it with typically outlandish wit and cinematic dynamism—and by putting an awe-inspiring Jewish superheroine (Carice van Houten, in the performance of the year) front and center. —Lawrence Levi
Best Urban Renewal of a Dream City
There are many New Yorks, and in her essay collection Learning to Drive, Katha Pollitt lays claim to several—the Brooklyn of her youth, with its seething housewives trapped in beautiful brownstones; the bohemian havens that become gentrified the moment she moves in; the Upper West Side of the Nineties, full of moms who go on the warpath for cuter playground furniture. The New York she seems to treasure most is a fantasy version of the city in which the communist Jewish intellectual circles of her parents' youth survive into the present day, but cease to exclude women. She tries to realize her dream, joining a Marxist study group that meets in a Greenwich Village apartment with thickly plastered walls and yellowing Braque prints"; she fails dramatically when her boyfriend, the group's charismatic leader, betrays her. By taking an unsentimental look at her own nostalgia, she breathes new life into a familiar view of old New York. —Marissa Brostoff
Best Movie Based On a Novella by a Nextbook Columnist
What do you get when you cross an indie film about the disaffected malaise of youth with Beetlejuice? Wristcutters: A Love Story, Goran Dukic's cuddly, whimsical movie about an afterlife for suicides. In this familiar world (it's like ours, we're told, only a little worse"), a new inhabitant named Zia (Patrick Fugit) makes friends with a Russian musician (Shea Whigham) whose tragically inclined family members have all offed." Together they go on a road trip, pick up Winona Ryderesque Shannyn Sossamon, rock out to Gogol Bordello, hang with Tom Waits, and face off with Will Arnett. Based on Etgar Keret's novella Kneller's Happy Campers, it's a morbid romance that proves this year's anti-quirkiness naysayers are missing out on good stuff. —Hadara Graubart
Best Marriage to Envy
There are no revelations in Calvin Trillin's About Alice, no salacious marital details revealed. Instead this slim elegy is an unapologetic love letter—old-fashioned, sweetly restrained, and ultimately heartrending—to Trillin's wife of more than thirty-five years. In 1976, Alice, then the mother of two young girls, was diagnosed with lung cancer. She beat the odds and survived for another quarter century. Rather than focus on her illness or his grief (Alice died of cardiac failure on September 11, 2001, her heart weakened by the radiation treatments she'd undergone years earlier), Trillin, with his trademark light touch, draws a vivid portrait of Alice—her intelligence, humor, and warmth. But in the end, it's the depiction of their marriage that one remembers. Recalling the party where he and Alice met, Trillin writes, I never stopped trying to match that evening—not just trying to entertain her but impress her. Decades later . . . I still wanted to impress her." —Ellen Umansky
Best Candidate for Her Own Food Network Show
Poopa Dweck, author of the new cookbook Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews, is everywhere these days. Praised by the likes of Mario Batali and Claudia Roden, cited in the New York Times Magazine's Year in Ideas" issue for her belief that shared recipes might be the first step in bringing peace to the Middle East, she certainly seems poised for bigger things. But the clincher is her personality. She's smart, feisty, sexy, deeply religious (which has its appeal these days), and down-to-earth. What's more, she's a dynamo in the kitchen (as Nextbook learned when we spent a day with her for an upcoming podcast). And then there are the recipes: kibbeh bi'kizabrath (cilantro-tomato soup with Syrian meatballs), sambousak (buttery cheese-filled sesame pastries), ajweh helou (walnut-stuffed dates) . . . watch out, Rachael Ray. —Julie Subrin
Best Reason to Be Glad We Live in the 21st Century
AMC's Mad Men has garnered tons of attention since its debut this summer, much of it focused on its almost fetishistic recreation of New York circa 1959, from globular cigarette dispensers to long-lined bras. But the show's success has more to do with its no-holds-barred approach to the ethnic and racial divides of its period. Have we ever hired any Jews?" asks the head of the ad agency around which the show revolves, as he and his creative director, Don Draper (Jon Hamm), prepare to meet with potential client Rachel Menken (Maggie Siff), the owner of a Fifth Avenue department store. Most of the Jewish guys work for the Jewish firms," Don replies. Gorgeous and imperious, Rachel shocks them, scoffing at their suggestions for coupons and sales, and shutting down a young account exec who asks why she doesn't simply work with one of those Jewish firms. I want your kind of people," she snaps. People who don't care about coupons." Within a few episodes, Don has fallen crashingly in love with her, less because of her exotic ethnicity—refreshingly, she's depicted as no more stereotypically Jewish" than any of the women who populate Draper's pristine suburb—and more because of her pervasive intelligence and independence, a welcome change from his sweet wife's closemouthed subservience. The Sixties are on their way . . . —Joanna Smith Rakoff
