Turkey's Jewish narrative: tolerance and dark side
In 2003, two Istanbul synagogues were targeted in deadly bombings by militants tied to al-Qaida, and Turkey cracked down on radical Islamists.
Many Turkish Jews had to speak Turkish and drop Ladino, a language that mixes Hebrew and Spanish and is dying out, in the early years of the modern republic. During World War II, Jews, as well as ethnic Armenians and Greeks, were subject to an arbitrary lump-sum tax, and mobs attacked non-Muslim properties in Istanbul in 1955.
Anti-Semitism has risen in Turkey's ultraconservative media over the past five years, said Murat Onur, an Istanbul-based commentator who has studied the issue. Activists want the government to incorporate "hate speech" legislation in plans for a new constitution.
Baki Tezcan, an associate professor of history and religious studies at the University of California, Davis, said the only place to buy a menorah in Istanbul is at the offices of Shalom, a Jewish newspaper. In December, he went there to get one because his father-in-law is Jewish, saw no sign outside, and encountered a strict screening procedure.
"This experience made me realize how difficult it must be to live as a Jew in Turkey, feeling so threatened that they have to hide their community newspaper's offices and apply such high security measures," he wrote in an email.
After the Ottoman Empire collapsed and foreign powers carved up its spoils, Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, hauled Turkey onto a secular path, though religious belief remained entrenched. Today, the government is run by pious Muslims who describe themselves as conservative democrats.
One constant over the decades is the fact that Turkish identity cards state the religion of their carriers.
The majority Sunni Muslims stand "at the center of the circle" of Turkish citizenship, according to Tezcan.
"This might go back to the original meaning of the word 'millet,' which is used to refer to 'nation' today," he wrote. "It actually meant a 'religious community.' So we are dealing with the repercussions of late Ottoman history, and the complex dynamics of growing local nationalisms, on the one hand, and European imperialism, on the other."
Eyal Peretz is the Israel-born chairman of Arkadas, a community of ethnic Turkish Jews in Israel. He said the Ottoman welcome to Jews was something "we cannot forget" and an "exceptional story" in a dire catalogue of persecution over the centuries.
However, he criticized Turkey for downgrading relations with Israel, alleging it seeks to curry favor with Muslims worldwide. Turkey is incensed over the treatment of the Palestinians by Israel, which has refused Turkish demands for an apology and compensation in the 2010 raid.
Some historians speculate the Soviets mistook the Struma for a troop ship from Romania, a Nazi ally, and thought they were firing on an enemy. A book, "Death on the Black Sea," cites Refik Saydam, Turkey's prime minister at the time, as saying Turkey was not responsible.
"Turkey cannot serve as a homeland for people not welcomed by others," Saydam said. "That's the way we choose. This is the reason we could not keep them in Istanbul. It is unfortunate that they were victims of an accident."

No, but they are lighter and slimmer and faster, so it is logical to see them selling better for concealed/pocket carry. If I were in weather and dress that allowed me to wear a beefier holster and a bulky enough jacket to conceal properly, the less I'd be willing to give up my heavier old warhorses.
Lighter, slimmer and faster are not necessarily the same as more fun to shoot, so you might see a different set of guns at the range, at least for the majority of the shooting.

They certainly can be lighter with all the polymer. Each material has it's own strength or weakness. Polymer won't rust but could melt chemically and by heat. Slim is nice for carrying on your person but offers a less secure grip (a home defense gun you're not as concerned about carrying long periods).
I will say that manufacturers now are offering these cheaper alternatives (options are good) which usually have less individual hand fitting of parts. Hand fitted is still available but usually costs more and we get sticker shock since we're so used to looking for that $300 - $600 service pistol / pocket pistol range.
Great guns aren't cheap but good enough guns can be. I have mostly good guns, with a couple great ones thrown in . Good enough means reliable and safe as the bare minimum criteria - which it's nice to have lots of brands offering reliable guns. I suspect Internet media has pushed that along as folks can complain publicly otherwise.

I prefer to look at it as having more options now. "Best" depends on the situation and use. For example, increased weight in a pistol is bad when you are lugging it around on your belt, but good when it is absorbing recoil energy. Almost every choice you make in the features of a pistol have advantages and disadvantages in some way. Viva la diference.

Well, the plastic fantastics really started coming out in the late 70s/early 80s.
But I understand your question being are these new designs better than the older steel or alloy designs?
To that, I'd say "better" is really a judgment call. The newer polymer designs are lighter, less expensive, and quite reliable. However, the older metal designs are easy to shoot, generally well made, and quite reliable. Now, even as a 1911 fan, I'll admit that any Glock, M&P, XD, etc. is more likely to be more reliable out of the box than the average 1911 costing twice as much. Those same guns are also likely to be every bit as accurate and reliable as the Sig P-series alloy guns, S&W third gen autos, Beretta 92 series, and so on, often costing a fair amount more than the plastic guns.
But is that better? Well, it depends on what you shoot well. I can shoot either well. I would not consider somebody armed with either to be poorly armed. I would consider someone who rejects one or other kind out of hand or considers that other type of handgun to be "junk" to be poorly informed and small minded. A well rounded collection will likely have examples of all kinds of things, although it's up to the shooter to find and select something that he/she can shoot well.

Perhaps cheaper, but I wouldn't call them overall as better.
Just as an example, a lighter pistol is easier to conceal carry but will generally recoil more than its all steel brother. Not sure that trade off is "better."

For me it would seem to be more dependent on what better means to you.. Poly does save on expense and is lighter, metal is heavier which helps with recoil...
I have both but for sheer feel I do prefer metal, your milage may vary.

I just picked up a slimmer, younger Beretta Nano.
I like it better than the .380's(ppk/s, P232) that I used to carry.

I have a 70s era S&W model 49 "Bodyguard" all-steel, J-frame, shrouded hammer. I also have a new, lighter, alloy-framed 642 DAO J-frame.
The new gun is lighter, has better sights, and is rated for +P ammo while the older one is not. The 642 is comfortable for pocket carry while the 49 is a noticeably heavier chunk of iron.
So you define "better". The 49 sits at home, the 642 goes with me.
Regarding autos - I used to carry a S&W 5649 DAO all-stainless steel double-stack 9mm as a duty weapon. It was OK in a service holster on a full-size 2 1/2" duty belt, balanced as it was with the ammo pouches, handcuffs, and radio on the same belt.
However, these days (as civilian) I'd sure rather be carrying something like the M&P or Shield. There's probably a reason that police departments switched over to the newer, lighter-weight guns. And don't claim cost - I know of several departments that traded in those S&W 5946s and now carry Sigs.
So yes, in some cases the newer, slimmer, lighter models ARE better than the old ones.
That being said, I have a fondness for 70s-era S&W revolvers and would prefer to carry a Model 66 4" over everything else, if I could figure out a way to conceal it well.

Nope they recoil more. More recoil for most people means less practice. Id rather have a people carry guns that they practice with.

Good topic, however irresolvable. Tomorrow I will meet friends in a public place with which I am not familiar, so I'll carry. The only debate in my mind would have been whether to carry my wife's super-light Smith 351C in .22WMR or my stainless .380 PPK, both holding seven rounds of Critical Defense.
Because there is no known threat and no history of bad actors where we are going, I probably will take the Smith because it is a good bit lighter. My decision always is situational. Should I be going to a similar type place 50 miles away, where they live, I'd probably carry the Walther. If I were going to a place near them that has a dicey reputation, I probably would arm myself with a big semi-auto and wear an appropriate concealed-carry garment.
It all depends on the situation. That said, I carry maybe 10% of the time. Too old to get satisfaction from pure macho issues, but to be fair I live in a well-armed and very low-crime area - perps know they are less likely to leave alive.

Reviewed by: Forest E, April 2015
This was the best walking tour we've ever taken and not just because its the Vatican but because the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We loved the personal attention so we could go at our own pace and ask questions. The guide spoke perfect English and was very well read in not just the artifacts in the museum but all the related history, architecture and archeology.

Money Matters
When will Filipinos benefit from growth?
Question: Our economic fundamentals showed a lot of improvements lately—credit ratings upgrades, BSP rate cuts, lower inflation rates and stock market all-time highs. But it seems Juan dela Cruz doesn't feel these improvements yet. The poverty and unemployment rates are still high according to news. How long will it take for our poor kababayan to feel the said improvements in our economy?
—Leo Manalaysay via Facebook
Answer: With all that we see and hear about the growth of the Philippine economy, there is real reason to be very optimistic about the future. I share the view of many that the Philippines will be among the most prosperous nations in the near future, all in God's time.
Economic growth ushers many positive changes and if the government and the business sector will properly manage growth, the benefits will ultimately trickle down to the masses. Economic growth can manifest in different ways but not all of them will have the desired effect. Some growth can be unsustainable and without sound fundamentals. Managing the economy through growth can just be as tricky as managing it through recession. A properly managed growth should be able to create a healthier business environment that will generate more employment and more taxes, and should be sustainable. As more jobs are generated, our kababayans will be able to experience better income opportunities, lower unemployment and underemployment. It is through better employment that economic growth can really trickle down to the masses.
The big issue is when. Typically, it takes time before all the benefits of economic growth can be felt, and business and the government will be the main drivers. Unlike in the stock market, where a report on economic growth can cause an overnight spike in the bourse, it takes time before business can actually experience the gains.
A corporation will want to perform adequate study before going into an expansionary phase, ascertain first if current capacity can accommodate the growth in demand for its products or services.
Companies will not immediately go into hiring more employees because it will need to ensure that the new hires will actually contribute to a better bottom line and not the other way around. Businesses need time to expand as they would still have to raise more capital, study trends and build capacity.
There must be some effects in a year or two, but not in a quarter or two. Will the effects be felt by the masses? Only if growth will result in increased employment.
Another concern is, how ready are we for the change? While many of us will benefit from the growth, how we benefit will differ from one individual to another. Some individuals will use this as an opportunity to save and invest more money that will open more opportunities for wealth accumulation and long-term savings. However, some may opt to use the income improvement for short-term wants and a lifestyle upgrade– when we do so, we will miss the opportunity to have a better quality of life that is sustainable.
While waiting for positive changes to trickle down to us, it is best that we remain prudent with whatever we have. If we can manage the little we have now, we will also be able to manage our resources when they get bigger.
"If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities." —Luke 16:10, NLT

Loma Linda University Fosters Higher Education in the Philippines with Collaboration on New Medical School
New medical school at Adventist University of the Philippines is slated to accept its first class of students in June 2014.
Loma Linda, CA (PRWEB) July 09, 2013
Loma Linda University (LLU) is continuing to foster higher education around the world, now in the Philippines. A team from LLU has been comprised to assist Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) with the development of its new medical school. AUP was recently granted permission by the Philippines Commission of Higher Education to open a medical school, which will make it the sixth accredited medical school operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church—LLU was the first.
LLU President Richard Hart, MD, DrPH, and other professionals are looking forward to this international partnership. "Since its founding, Loma Linda University has sent thousands of physicians, dentists and nurses to provide health care internationally. As the Adventist Church develops international universities, we can expand capacity by assisting with health sciences education for health professionals around the world."
The team from LLU will be working with the inaugural dean of the new medical school, Doris A. Mendoza, MD, who has garnered the experience necessary to take on her new position while serving as a faculty member of West Visayas State University College of Medicine, which is also in the Philippines. She has outlined a very modern medical education curriculum that will meet more stringent Filipino accreditation criteria.
The newly organized Department of Medical Education within the LLU School of Medicine has formed a working group to collaborate with Dr. Mendoza and her team: Tammi Thomas, MD; Lawrence Loo, MD; and Daniel Giang, MD. They will focus their efforts on developing the curriculum, building a strong faculty, upgrading the facilities and admitting the first class of students. AUP intends to accept its first class of 20 students in June 2014 and will use Adventist Medical Center-Manila as its primary clinical teaching site. In addition, the new faculty at AUP will be enrolled in the online Master of Science degree program in Health Professions Education—an inter-professional graduate program at Loma Linda University designed to prepare clinicians to teach in the classroom.
Dr. Giang is congratulatory to AUP for achieving accreditation of its medical school and anticipates collaborating with the new sister school. "Adventist health education provides distinctive added values to students as well as a first-rate education in various health sciences disciplines. We strive to help students synthesize their commitment to faith and science while viewing each patient as a 'whole person' rather than as cases of a disease. We see health care as part of an overall mission of representing God in the world is what we strive for."
The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Department of Education has provided additional resources to LLU to help with this effort. Lenoa Edwards, Assistant Dean for Admissions within LLU School of Medicine, visited AUP to discuss admissions issues this past April. "We anticipate a busy year for both AUP and LLU," she said.
Loma Linda University has a strong, ongoing history with Adventist University of the Philippines. LLU School of Public Health assisted the Filipino university in developing its own College of Health approximately 30 years ago; and LLU School of Dentistry also collaborated with AUP to develop its College of Dentistry in 2005.
Ronald Dailey, PhD, Dean of LLU School of Dentistry, was part of the collaboration eight years ago and believes LLU's partnership with AUP is special. "This is a unique opportunity," he said, "to build a medical school in a country that is striving to advance the quality of medical education in their country. It took visionary leadership to make LLU what it is today, and I am confident that same vision and skill will translate in this partnership with Adventist University of the Philippines."
AUP is currently a highly regarded institution, which successfully operates schools of education, nursing, business, theology and health sciences.
Loma Linda University provides numerous resources for developing medical schools through its Global Health Institute, School of Medicine and the Master of Science degree program in Health Professions Education. LLU tailors its collaboration to meet the needs of each new medical school and will host the first international conference of Adventist medical educators in May 2014. This focus on health sciences education advances LLU's tradition of sending health professionals to serve overseas.

I'm using these shorts on/off the beach. Walking, jogging, swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing. I am an older woman and the length is perfect for me. They come down to my knees and do not hug my legs. They are also not tight around my abdomen so - no muffin top created. I also bought a cute top to go with them and I love the whole outfit.

Your comment has been posted.
my normal size is 16 but according to size chart I had first ordered the 18w--- way too big. Explained the mistake to customer service and was sent -pronto- size 16 with no extra charges plus a small refund.The only negative I had hoped for a better discount from original price...maybe later into the summer it will be on sale and I will purchase another pair.
I purchased both the boardshort and these long boardshorts and these are just a little too long. I am going to keep them as back ups but I can already tell the regular boardshorts will be better. I am active with my kids swimming and moving and I think these would be heavier over time. I have yet to use them but am keeping them. They fit to size.
Great fabric, well made, good leg length, handy pockets. Everything a plus, however; extremely short waisted. If you have a "womans" figure this won't work.
I am pleased with the length of these shorts as I am shaped heavier on the bottom and want to cover up. I am fairly short at 5"3" and standing they come just above my knee. To me, they run just a little small, especially the liner pantie, as they are not very generous in the leg openings. Nice material, but know there is no give to it, so there is really no stretch, no attract lint. Have not used them yet in the water/on the beach. Sometimes, I just use them and wear as shorts since I do like the length. I am a size 16 and that's what I ordered.
These shorts are a great length, fit true to size --and I love that they have an attached panty.
I like the zipper and snap closure on the shorts versus the elastic that you have to fight with on a wet bathing suit. I have bought two pairs, different colors. Feels like you're wearing shorts.
These fit well and have a built in panty. Nice alternative to swim skirts that show more leg than I'm comfy with.
Runs a little small but nice fit. Very comfortable.
I wear a 1x in regular clothes, pants and tops. Was uncertain if this size 18 would fit. The shorts fit well around the hips and legs. Nice length, to just above the knee. I'm 5' 6". The waist gaps in the back even with the elastic back, but I think for my purposes it will be OK. Not skiing or anything like that. Bought 2 pair, black and navy. Happy with my purchase.

Morocco makes second attempt to liberalize its fixed-line segment
Morocco's telecom regulator ANRT will try a second time to liberalize the nation's fixed line sector by announcing a timetable for a new license in the first quarter of 2004, said a spokesperson from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Telecommunication.
Morocco tendered in 2002 for the sale of the second fixed license but no one from the twelve initially interested companies submitted a proposal. The fixed line subscriber base is decreasing in the Arab state because of the boom in the cellular market.
Speaking at a recent press conference, the ministry source said that ANRT is trying to re-vamp the license to make it more appealing to international telecom firms. One of the possible incentives could be a double offering of a fixed and mobile license to a single operator.
Morocco was the first country in the Arab World to have witnessed a drop in its fixed lines market. The Arab state's decreasing demand for fixed services coupled with its very low PSTN penetration rate has clearly induced a loss of appetite for any potential investor in the service, According to Arab Advisors Group. Another possible reason for the lack of interest in the fixed services tender is the relative underdevelopment of the Internet and datacomm segments in the country, which makes investing in fixed services even riskier.
Two telecommunication companies presently operate in Morocco ― Maroc Telecom, of which the French Vivendi Group controls 35 percent, and the Meditel Company, which belongs to the Spanish Telefonica Group. — (menareport.com)

text: I am always checking out barrel lens to see if they will fit a particular shutter. I just discovered that my Wollensak 9" (229mm) f5.6 raptar copy barrel lens are threaded such that they will fit a large alphax shutter I have which came with Wollensak 11 7/8" (302mm) f4.5 lens. The overall length of the 9" raptar copy lens in its barrel is 69.48mm and the overall length of these cells in the alphax shutter is 70.27mm. This appears to be a minimal difference (.79mm), but should the quality of the photographs from the cells in the barrel be equivalent to pics with these cells when using them in the more convenient alphax shutter? Now I realize this will best be checked on my V8 deardorff, but I want the local gurus to provide me with your techinal expertise and opinions. I thank you for your interest and comments.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has called for a leadership ballot on Thursday as her party faces the growing prospect of a sound election defeat later this year.
She said the ballot of a leader and deputy leader of the Labour Party would be held in the afternoon, hours after a senior minister called on her to hold a vote.
Minister Simon Crean said he would nominate as the deputy and wanted former prime minister Kevin Rudd to stand as the candidate for the top post.

Cavaliers guard Dion Waiters sent out a picture of himself via Instagram yesterday afternoon working out at Syracuse. In the photo, Waiters appears to be in much better shape than when we last saw him in the Vegas Summer League, where he shot 12-of-40 and scored 37 points in 3 games before missing the final three with knee soreness.
The Cavaliers open up October 30th against the Wizards, and the fourth overall pick will have a great chance to be the team's starting shooting guard if this picture (and Byron Scott's training camp) is any indication.

Big Mac returns to SoCal as Dodgers hitting coach
LOS ANGELES Mark McGwire is coming home as hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, lured by the chance to spend more time with his wife and five young children.
He was hired Wednesday to replace Dave Hansen and improve an offense that struggled last season when All-Star slugger Matt Kemp was hobbled by injuries. The Dodgers were 13th in the National League in runs scored and RBIs and 15th in home runs.
"It's the first time in my baseball career I have an opportunity to live at home and work at home," McGwire said on a teleconference. "To do what I love, still be in the game of baseball and to be at home, it just fit perfectly."
McGwire spent the past three seasons in the same job with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he starred during parts of his 16-year major league career. During McGwire's tenure, the Cardinals led the National League in batting average (.269) and on-base percentage (.337), ranked second in runs (2,263) and fourth in slugging percentage (.416).
He worked with All-Star sluggers Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols, while helping develop 2011World Series MVP David Freese.
But as much as he enjoyed the job and the team's success, McGwire said last season "was probably one of the hardest on me family-wise."
His two sons, ages 9 and 10, have started playing Little League, and he and his wife, Stephanie, have 2-year-old triplet daughters. McGwire also has a 25-year-old son from a previous marriage. The couple lives in Orange County.
"Being away from the girls, it took a little bit for them to realize Daddy was back a couple weeks ago," he said, adding that he wasn't certain he would have returned to St. Louis if the Dodgers hadn't pursued him.
Once they did, he turned down the Cardinals' contract extension and started phoning the team's players and staff to say goodbye.
"It was very, very hard to call everybody," he said.
McGwire is from the Los Angeles suburb of Pomona. He played college baseball at Southern California and was a member of Oakland's 1989 World Series champion team.
"I grew up a Dodger fan," he said.
McGwire is a 12-time All-Star who in winter 2010 ended years of denials and a self-imposed exile from the sport by admitting he took performance-enhancing drugs during his career, including when he broke Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs with 70 long balls in 1998. He retired in 2001 with 583 career homers, ranking 10th on the all-time list.
"It's a mistake that I've made, I've owned up to it, I've moved on," he said. "That's something I have to live with the rest of my life."
There was little public outcry when McGwire returned to the Cardinals as hitting coach, and Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he can live with McGwire's past.
"He's owned up to making a mistake, but there's so many other great qualities about him that you forgive the mistake," he said. "That he apologized is very important."

Although virtualization technologies have been a great help to data center managers looking to reclaim power in an overburdened environment, virtualization can also create problems. As IT organizations complete their server virtualization initiatives and as their virtualization management skills mature, use of the physical server power management features and dynamic workload shifting capabilities will increase. This, coupled with increased adoption of server hosted desktop virtualization, will create new opportunities for improving the efficiency of data center power and cooling systems, as well as new challenges for keeping up with increasing demand.

VMware and Citrix are partners – they have just not announced it. Both companies have realized that customers want the market leading application delivery suite (Citrix) to work on the market leading data center virtualization platform (vSphere) and with the cooperation of the partners who implement both solutions have made it happen.
Desktop Virtualization ...
Quest and Virtual Computer to take on Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View
• • 2 Comments
Desktop virtualization often focuses on solutions provided by Citrix and VMware. Quest's vWorkspace is an enterprise ready solution and its partnering with the likes of Virtual Computer offer customers looking to reduce the cost and simplify their desktop service implementation.
There has been a lot of noise about a negotiations between VMware and Novell, rumors are that it regards the purchase of the SUSE division, now firstly every thing that follows is pure supposition on my part, I have no insider knowledge. now mike has put forward one argument on why a VMware purchase of Novell SUSE assets make very good corporate sense. However I put another idea into the fray.
VMware dominates the enterprise virtualization platform business with vSphere, and is poised to create a vSphere compatible public cloud ecosystem around vCloud. Layering Management software on top of these platforms is a logical progression up the value stack, as is layering an applications platform (vFabric) on top of vSphere and vCloud. VMware's end user computing strategy seems to be too tied to VDI to be able to break out of the fundamental limitations associated with this approach, and will likely leave the larger question of how to manage the next generation desktop to the previously mentioned startups and perhaps Symantec.
How can you run IE6 in a Windows 7 or a Windows 2008 environment? Looking at how to use desktop and presentation virtualization in comparison to application virtualization to deliver choice and options to your users in the desktop environment
Self-learning performance management solutions like Integrien and Netuitive are going to be absolutely an essential part of the migration to dynamic data centers and IT as a Service. Once these dynamic data centers scale out to the thousands of applications in a typical enterprise, and scale up to address the most performance critical applications, the rate of change in the environment will be too high for legacy tools and manual administration to be able to keep. up. These automated self-learning approaches will be the only way in which IT Operations will be able to stay on top of these new environments while staying within staffing and budget constraints.
VMware has said that is it committed to its Desktop Virtualization Strategy but VMWare's commitment to VDI as the only solution is going to mean that unless you are only going to deploy VDI you'll likely consider another vendor to help you achieve your goal.
There are two desires which are fundamentally in conflict, and addressing this conflict is the biggest opportunity in desktop computing. Can you manage the demand for users to have effective IT at their fingertips while controlling access and costs from the centre?
What seemed like forever to get here was over in a blink of an eye. VMworld 2010 in San Francisco was once again an incredible event with over 17,000 people in attendance. Now that I have had a little time to reflect on the past week, I wanted to share my thoughts on the week and the event itself. The weather in San Francisco was unseasonable warm for San Francisco standards during the event but as a person from Florida who enjoys warmer weather the temperature for me was absolutely wonderful. I arrived in town on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed taking advantage of the power of twitter from the San Francisco Airport. Once I landed I sent a tweet out to see who else may have landed and who might want to share a cab to the hotel. Denis Guyadeen (@dguyadeen) responded right back and once we grabbed are luggage we were off and on our way.

13 Dead After Record Snowfall in Japan
13 people killed and more than a thousand injured after the worst snowstorm in decades hits Japan.
Last Updated: 2014-02-10 08:21 AM EST
Thirteen people died and more than a thousand were injured in Japan after the worst snow storm in decades swept the country.
On Monday footage from Japanese broadcaster TBS showed schoolchildren slipping through snow and ice on their way to class and helping push a teacher's car stuck in the drifts in the northern city of Sendai.
The storm dumped 13.8 inches of snow on the area, parts of which were devastated by the March 2011 tsunami, the heaviest fall recorded there in 78 years.
In nearby Ishinomaki, the drifts surrounded temporary housing erected for people left homeless by the disaster were the most snow they had seen in 91 years.
As much as 10.6 inches of snow fell on Tokyo by late Saturday, the most in 45 years, Japan's Meteorological Agency said.
Snowdrifts and frozen slush choked the roads on Monday morning, forcing commuters in heavy boots to pick their way carefully to work and disrupting public transport.
"We've just got to get on somehow," one schoolgirl said, waiting to squeeze onto one of the few buses in operation in Chiba, outside the Japanese capital.
"But the buses are stopped - I don't know what we're going to do," one of her classmates added.
Traffic accidents and falls claimed 13 lives across the nation - including one 78-year-old man in Ichikawa, just east of Tokyo - and some 1,700 were injured, Japanese broadcaster NHK said.
Flights were still backed up at Tokyo's Haneda international airport on Monday and the lobby was packed with anxious travelers, with some flights overbooked.
"I never thought I'd have to do this at my age," one woman, who appeared to have spent the night at the airport, told TBS.
Some 5,000 people were stuck at Narita international airport at the weekend when the snow cut transport links to downtown Tokyo.
More than 20,000 households were without electricity early on Sunday after the snow and high winds took down power lines.
But financial markets opened normally on Monday as snow thawed in Tokyo, shrugging off the weekend's heavy snowfall.

Navy saves 100 turtles
PUERTO PRINCESA City, Philippines—Naval authorities based in Palawan's southernmost tip, Balabac, pounced on a Chinese-financed endangered marine turtle-poaching operation on Tuesday that involved local fishermen and officials.
Cmdr. Joseph Rostum Peña, Naval Forces West commander, said Navy men discovered three fish pens off the remote village of Caguisan in Balabac being emptied of turtles in preparation for the transport of the protected marine animals to China, possibly Hainan.
"We have so far discovered three turtle pens containing an estimated 100 marine turtles," he said.
Each of the fish pens, which are made of nylon and fishnets and measure 20 meters by 35 meters, contained at least 30 turtles, he said.
Authorities are conducting retrieval operations and have so far hauled more than 30 large marine turtles, weighing between 30 to 50 kilograms each. At least two turtles died while most are being recovered alive from the submerged fish cages. Redempto D. Anda, Inquirer Southern Luzon

Recently one of the most talked about subjects on these and other Guild Wars boards has been on the supposed increase of grind being added into the game. Even if this grind or whatever you consider grind is real, lets face it grind is apart of all MMO'S. Like many have said, grind is ok as long as theres a reward for the actions. Most people feel that titles are not a sufficient reward.
So this brings me to the point of this thread, I ask you the people who complain about this supposed grind that has been added to GW to call out these parts and to come up with a resolution/a new reward.
For instance:
*Quests-although not really considered a grind need a better reward besides gold and exp(GW:EN is supposedly going to fix this)
So where is the grind you see and how should it be fixed and given better rewards for these places.

"So much for blue skies! What about the future?" Thus New Zealand's young punks, Die! Die! Die!, fling exhortations back at a preacher who's told them, "You must believe!" They aren't really asking, but they also aren't echoing Johnny Rotten, that cunning London Irish drop-out, caterwauling "No-o-o/Fu-u-t-yahh" in a faux-cockney parody of a muezzin calling the faithful to prayer a quarter-century before 9/11. No, it's not quite the same, because outrages and disasters do take their places in the landscape. So even Die! Die! Die!, with their shrieky little name and shrieky little songs (tattooed in ears by the phonograph needles of Andrew Wilson's voice and guitar), find themselves pausing long enough to explain, quite reasonably, "Well sir, this winter, I cannot believe." "Blue Skies" is the last song on Die! Die! Die!'s second album, Promises, Promises. Last year's Steve Albini–recorded, self-titled debut's flying shards of impulsive/compulsive encounters were caught by walls thrown up, of tracks tightened till they imploded (10 songs, in just over 20 minutes). But now, on the Shayne Carter–produced Promises, walls are pushed out as inner space-junk expands; shards reappear as pieces of Wilson's personal blue skies, of old hopes and dreams. Shattered, scattered voice and guitar can't help planting some bizarre memory garden of l-u-v. But the eloquent guts of Lachlan Anderson's bass will never digest such seeds so easily, and drummer Michael Prain's Keith Moon-style soloing-as-accompaniment dents craters in an everyday maze, where Wilson and "You!" grapple in reflective gear.
Die! Die! Die! play the Music Hall of Williamsburg March 29 and Highline Ballroom March 30.
