press release
"SHAMS" center reminds about the significance of tolerance culture that is considered as the societal framework through which democracy transfers, and the basic principle that governs individuals' associations.
This framework provides the appropriate atmospheres for creative interaction among people and their societal organizations based on mutual respect and admit equal rights and equivalent opportunities. This makes the relation between tolerance culture and democracy extremely forceful and complementary as tolerance culture can't exist in a society without democracy, and democracy can't exist in a society without the rule of tolerance culture among people.
"SHAMS" perceives that the rule of tolerance culture doesn't represent only forgiving peoples when they make mistakes, but also accepting others as individuals, groups and gatherings with their different ideas, distinctive opinions, several ideological perspectives and religious beliefs. Actually the rule of tolerance culture means that people have freedom in their thoughts, opinions and doctrines, while the absence of tolerance indicates the deficiency of individual freedoms in general, nonexistence of equality among people and the domination of one ideological idea over others. This can empower a social category or a social class to monopoly the authority and prevent the majority of community individuals and classes from their legitimate rights.
SHAMS" as well warn from the failure of some electoral experiences in Arab countries, considering it a tool to build democratic experiences due to the missing tolerance culture. In spite of permitting to build and activate political parties, and the several mass media under the increased public orientation toward ideological extremity, it seems that opportunities for democracy success in the Arab world are still fragile and retreating. This signifies that enrooting tolerance culture inside community as a social and cultural value is the main and important condition to secure the success of democratic experience in each community.
SHAMS" confirms the essence to spotlight on the significance of religious tolerance since it's a concrete reality that should be handled proceeding from the mankind existence which involves the being of humanity as human gatherings who meet in the origin, the need to gather, the concern to live, the desire to master elements of life, the quest for urbanization and modernization and the eager to development and advancement, while differ in each gathering's ethnic, religious and cultural privacy. In this framework it seems that tolerance is the basic ground for building the civil society and setting its rules since pluralism, democracy, freedom of belief, accepting the difference in the opinion and thought, human culture, appreciating national charters and respecting rule of law are choices and certain human values which can't be retreated, abandoned or compromised. Tolerance is the key factor for building the civil society and activating its rules requiring mutual respect and joint appreciation.
SHAMS" emphasizes in this context that lack of tolerance leads to nonexistence of thought, absence of democracy, canceling human rights, rejecting dialogue and deliberation of authority beside expansion of aggression and discrimination. It should be taken into account that the absence of accepting the other culture, tolerance will and forgiveness ethics is one of the most negative factors that Palestinian community suffers from. Conflicts, elimination and tactical mobilized discourse are all reasons that hinder the dissemination and promotion of tolerance culture in the Palestinian society. Therefore, reinforcing tolerance either ethically or practically will be the major beginning to release humans from manners of slavery, oppression and repression. As well, accomplishing our aspirations in liberation, building a democratic state, advancement, justice, security and stability won't be without political sharing, and this requires political tolerance among all parts which basically need pure culture, education and political upbringing based on tolerance as well as accepting the other.

What happens when you cross Campbell Books with a London theme? Genius, that's what! We spend quite a lot of time going backwards and forwards to London with the children and the older they get, the more familiar they are becoming with some of the major sights of our gorgeous City. When we had our girly day in London a couple of weeks ago, Little Bean loved being in Trafalgar Square, she was amazed by the size of some of the statues there and of Nelson's Column, she even asked how they managed to get his statue stood on the top of such a tall "tower".
We were recently sent a set of the beautiful Hello London series of books from Campbell to review and they have been an instant hit with all the children. All three of them like the Hello London 'Push, Pull and Slide' book because they love to get involved and make the book 'do things'. I particularly love how it's even raining on the front of the bus, they have captured London perfectly!! Little Bean will be 6 in June and her memory is getting better and better, looking through the book she recognised Tower Bridge and the London Eye but without doubt our favourite page has to be the underground.
Beanie Boy likes 'My First London Bus and London Taxi' books because he can pretend to drive them around on the floor. It has little observational questions to get the children involved in really looking at the pictures which are brightly coloured and engaging.
For Jelly Bean we have the Buggy Books which are perfect for taking out and about with you. When we visited London at the weekend to see the view from The Shard I may have 'borrowed' his buggy buddies to engage Little Bean and Beanie Boy in a spot of eye-spy whilst we were up there.
I think these will be on our favourites list for a long while to come, definitely a must-have before a visit to London with the little people.
Hello London RRP £9.99
My First London Bus and My First London Taxi RRP £5.99 each
Buggy Buddies London Bus and London Taxi RRP £4.99 each
For more information about the great range of books available from Campbell head over to their website here.
I have managed to grab an extra set of these gorgeous books for one lucky Mummy Matters reader, to be in with a chance just complete the Rafflecopter entry form below;

Shakopee is a growing and thriving city that has passionate citizens who care about the welfare of their community. Having called Shakopee home for the last 14 years, I can say that I have the determination to grow Shakopee responsibly and with respect to the core traditions of the community.
I am a loving mother of three children ages 18, 14 & 6; a successful Shakopee business woman whose business, I Zen Spa, was named 2012 Small Business of the Year and Nominated for the Minnesota Business Ethics Award for 2013; and Treasurer of the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce and Visitors' Bureau. I have served on the Business Relations Committee of the Saints Foundation which is a partnership of St. Francis Medical Center and St. Gertrude's. I can say with absolute certainty that I understand the value of money and how a balanced budget and responsible growth are important not only in our lives but in our government as well.
In being a member of this community and the service my husband's family has given to their community, I have learned what an important role we all must play in guiding the city into where we want it to go.
o Membership at St. Joachim & Anne; serving as a lector, sub lector and volunteer with Julifest.
o Mentored couples with Engaged Encounter through Sioux Falls Diocese
o Active as a parent-volunteer in the SACS Marathon and Book Fair
o Member of the National Catholic Society of Foresters court #543 Shakopee
o Volunteer at Derby Days; 5k, Bingo, etc
Five years ago Jon & I opened our business, I Zen Spa, in Shakopee. Although we could have opened our business anywhere, we felt that having our business in Shakopee mirrored our core values. In owning a business, I have learned how important city government can be in protecting my business interests as well as my personal interests as a citizen.
My goals as a Shakopee City Council member would be to re-energize our downtown. I plan to work with the existing businesses and potential new businesses to create a destination for both locals and tourists. I will recognize and work with the diverse citizens of Shakopee. I believe we should be recognizing not only the cultural diversity but the economic diversity in our city. I've enjoyed watching our city, as well as my business, grow within the last four years. I am excited to promote the growth of this beautiful city to its fullest potential while making sure we grow responsibly. We are proud of our community and I wish to continue that proud tradition. I believe I bring a unique perspective and a level of diversity to the council that accurately represents the diversity of our city.

The Buy American Act and similar clauses in local business will be on tap at future meetings of four of Starkville's major leaders, as announced Wednesday during the Community Roundtable Luncheon.
At the luncheon, held at Mississippi State University's Leo W. Seal M-Club Center Wednesday, Gulf States Manufacturers executives brought the "Buy American" principle to the attention the four leaders. Greater Starkville Development Partnership President and CEO Jon Maynard said the four would continue discussion of the principle at subsequent meetings.
The Community Roundtable Luncheon brings Maynard, Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman, Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors President Marvell Howard and MSU President Mark Keenum together each quarter to talk with the public about issues that influence and connect the city, county, university and local businesses. The four also meet privately at the M-Club each month.
The federal Buy American Act, enacted in 1933, establishes a preference for American goods in government purchases and requires federal agencies to report reasons for purchases from non-domestic sources to Congress annually. Exceptions to the act include products made for use outside the U.S. and cases where the act's application would be inconsistent with the public interest or unreasonable in cost.
Danny Coggins, general manager at Gulf States, said he has noticed more businesses and cities using "Buy American" and "Buy Local" clauses in their contracts, keeping their money circulating locally and domestically. For instance, he said he heard Gulf States could lose a project in Mobile, Ala., because not enough of Mobile's local suppliers have gotten involved.
"That's horrible news for us, but I sat there and smiled because there's a community who has strong enough leaders to say, 'We've got to support our local business,'" Coggins said. "What I'd like to hear from some of the leaders here is: How do you feel on the subject, and what are you going to do about it? 'Buy American' may be illegal in Red China, but I don't think it is here."
Coggins said local government bodies, decision makers and design professionals have told Gulf States on numerous occasions that the Buy American Act and Buy American or Buy Local clauses are unusable, unethical or illegal. Wiseman said state law does require a local government to accept project bids that are either of the lowest cost or deemed by the governing authority as the best bid. If the governing authority deems a bid that costs more as the best, he said, that authority must provide their reasoning to the state.
"Now, as a matter of course, what we routinely do as a city is we take into account the local economic impact of local work," Wiseman said. "In my opinion, that's got to be part of the analysis. That's a perfectly legitimate reason to state that a bid is a 'best bid,' but it's something that we have to take on a case-by-case basis."
Robert A. Richard, controller for Gulf States, pressed the issue further, this time specifying the Starkville School District has told his company Buy American is illegal numerous times. Maynard said GSDP is a major proponent of buying local, with a "Shop Starkville" advertising campaign that extends beyond retail.
"Our stance on that is if we can generate more money here by ourselves, we'll be a whole lot better off than expecting it to come from somewhere else," Maynard said. "This group that gets together, we have not tackled this as a formal project or formal policy review. I'm going to throw that out with our group, and we'll tackle that as a formal issue."
Each of the leaders also gave presentations on the ways their organizations have been able to help each other. For instance, Howard talked about the new education building and new roads that will better accommodate families moving to Starkville. Wiseman said the city could not have won Blue Cross Blue Shield's award for Healthiest Hometown in the state without OCH Regional Medical Center and MSU nutritionists.
Keenum said MSU owed its ability to attract the best and brightest students and staff, in large part, to the strength of the community and its businesses. Coach Dan Mullen's response to reporters at SEC Media Days who questioned his decision to live in Starkville, he said, was an example of the community's power to attract and hold onto elements that improve it.
Maynard said MSU's Thad Cochran Research Park helps the city and county compete in industry. He said the recent expansion of II-VI (pronounced "two six") at the research park is a key example.
"II-VI is expanding to over 100 employees, and it started off as a very small project that is growing in scope to include what's going to be the largest silicon carbide manufacturing facility in the world," Maynard said. "That's going to be right here in that research park."

YOU'D think it would be easy to tell the difference between something fluffy and dusty, or cold and wet. Not so, if you're looking at strange mounds on Mars.
For decades, scientists have puzzled over weird geological structures at Mars's equator called the Medusa Fossae Formation. Now radar observations seem to indicate that they contain huge glacier-like deposits of frozen water 2.5 kilometres below the surface (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1148112).
Thomas Watters of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC led a team that probed the formation with ground-penetrating radar aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft. The material they saw was indistinguishable from layered deposits near the Martian poles, which are nearly pure ice. If they turn out to be ice, the deposits would increase the amount of known water on Mars by more than a third.
The team was unable to rule out that ...

Gabrielle Douglas, shown Aug. 2, 2012, after winning the artistic gymnastics women's individual all-around final at the 02 North Greenwich Arena in London will be cover girl on Kellogg's Corn Flakes boxes. / EMMANUEL DUNANDE/AFP/Getty Images
The marketing of America's newest gymnastics sweetheart has begun.
Gabby Douglas, who won the Olympic women's all-around Thursday, is already on a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. USA Gymnastics sent a tweet with a photo of Douglas holding the box. Kellogg's is a sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Things are moving fast for the 16-year-old who, fittingly, trains in Des Moines, Iowa, the heart of corn country. Also Friday, she appeared on NBC's "Today" show, first by herself and then with the three other American women to win the coveted Olympic all-around title: Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin.
"You are going to have 'Olympic champion' with your name forever," Patterson told her. "Take the time to soak it all in."
While on the show, Douglas reminisced about the road she took to the gold medal, moving at 14 from her Virginia Beach, Va., home to Iowa for coaching.
"It took a lot of hard days in the gym, a lot of drive," she said. "Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day."
After her final routine, the floor exercise, she was not sure she had done enough for the gold medal. And then she had to wait for the final competitor, Victoria Komova of Russia.
"I was like OK
do I have the gold? Do I have the silver? What do I have? My heart was pounding," Douglas said.
Aly Raisman, the other American in the all-around competition, was uncertain about her standing as well. She ended up in a tie for third with Russia's Aliya Mustafina, but a new tie-breaking procedure, which Raisman said she wasn't aware of, dropped her to fourth. The judges went to a scorecard tie-breaker, taking the total of each gymnast's three highest scores from the four events.
"I was hoping they would give us both the bronze medal," Raisman said on Today. "I wish I could have been up on the podium with (Gabby), but, like I said, I'm just trying to be positive.
"I definitely feel OK. I'm still really happy with my performance. I don't need a medal to prove I did well."

After a couple of restaurant groups were didn't have much staying power at the site of the former Sam Woo BBQ on San Bernardino Road and Azusa over the years, I hope the new inhabitants, Sora Sushi & Roll, will have better luck.
After a few colleagues made a few return trips there for lunch, I thought I would give the new Japanese cuisine a try myself to see what they had to offer.
Though there are many Asian restaurants in the neighborhood, there haven't been too many that have such a variety of sushi and rolls offered, and taste good too.
Although the teriyaki plates and combination platters were very tempting, I felt it only fair to give the sushi rolls a try.
With everything from a simple California or tuna roll to the specialty, fresh, tempura and baked rolls, I grew hungrier as I read the description of each roll. I finally settled on the Alaska roll (spicy scallop inside, topped with salmon and avocado and rice) and a spicy tuna roll.
Sushi and roll orders come with a cup of miso soup and salad. The soup was perfectly temperatured for me to enjoy right away, I would have liked more tofu pieces but the broth was seasoned well for a tasty, warm start to my meal.
The small salad was a simple mix of greens with radiccio and carrot. The dressing, not knowing exactly what it was, was very tasty with a slight tangy and light flavor.
The Alaska roll ($8.95) was beautifully displayed and it tasted as good as it looked. The spicy scallop had a nice tender kick, not too strong, and the salmon and avocado was a nice fresh and cool balance to the roll.
The spicy tuna ($4.95) cut roll had a little more heat but was still not overwhelming the rest of the flavors in the roll.
The rice in the rolls were cooked just right so they stayed sticky to keep the rolls in place. A good indicator of the sushi chef's talent.
I was pleasantly full with the size of the rolls but the dessert was so tempting, I ordered some strawberry mochi ice cream to go ($2.50 for two pieces) – perfect ending to my Sora experience.
Although it can get pricey, I will definitely have to return to Sora to try the rest of the menu, starting with the Jalapeno Bomb and Soft Shell Crab in their Little Bites menu.
Sora also offers salads, sashimi combos, noodles, bowls, tempura plates, and party platters.
The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 4 to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
Sora is located at 519 N. Azusa Ave., Covina, 626-332-1201.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – The Master's College women's basketball team continued its strong start to the 2013-14 campaign by beating William Jessup University 69-42 Tuesday night at Bross Court.
With the win, the Lady Mustangs' record improves to 5-2.
Minus an early 3-2 William Jessup lead, TMC dominated the court the entirety of the game. The Lady Mustangs' smallest lead was by 3 points early in the first half, while the squad's largest advantage was by 29 points late into the second.
8 minutes and 39 seconds left to play in the first half, the Lady Mustangs maintained a comfortable 20-10 lead. Then the Warriors managed to methodically narrow TMC's advantage to 25-22. But a jumper by Bianca Cubello (Riverside, CA), and a layup, followed by a three-pointer, from Megan Lindsley (Vancouver, WA) gave TMC a 32-23 advantage going into halftime.
At the break, Jacquelyn Marshall (San Clemente, CA) led the Lady Mustangs by scoring 8 points and yanking down 6 rebounds. The Lady Mustangs produced a 35% shooting percentage in the first half and scored 12 points in the paint. TMC's bench manufactured 13 points in the process.
A Lindsey Levanen (Battle Ground, WA) layup kick-started the Lady Mustangs' second half efforts 33 seconds after the break. From there, TMC enjoyed a comfortable lead backed by 12 Whitney Best (Snohomish, WA) second half points, ultimately accumulating to a commanding 69-42 victory.
At the end of the night, Best led the Lady Mustangs in scoring by tallying 13 points. Marshall earned a double-double by scoring 12 points and bringing down 10 rebounds. Notably, Nicole Nitake (Torrance, CA) earned 11 points in the 14 minutes of action she saw.
As a team, TMC earned a 40% shooting percentage, brought down 40 rebounds, and produced 19 dimes. Also, by the end of the night, all players on the Lady Mustangs 13-person roster received valuable playing time.
"I'm proud of the way we responded in the second half," commented Lady Mustang head coach Dan Waldeck. "We defended well and moved the ball much better leading to contributions from many players."
The Lady Mustangs now look to take on Merrimack College (2-2), a solid Massachusetts-based NCAA D.II team, this Friday at Bross Court. Tipoff is set for 2:00 p.m.

It is only during his deposition and his imprisonment that Richard shows his greatest strength as a dramatic figure. Although occasionally he seems to demonstrate self-pity (Bolingbroke accuses him of this), he also reveals himself to have an acute awareness of the ironies and absurdities in the structure of power in his kingdom. Although he keeps reminding those present of his God-given mandate to rule, he seems also to take pleasure in passing on the trials of kingship to his successor.
Richard's last speeches are among the most beautiful in the play. It is as though Shakespeare were allowing the man himself, stripped of political power, a chance to achieve a human power which surpasses suffering and becomes self-knowledge.

Turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens and Swiss chard are some of my favorite vegetables to grow. They're so easy, the edible leaves are cut-and-come-again (meaning the more you harvest, the more the plant produces), and they're very nutritious and tasty. Personally, I like most greens just sauteed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, but for those who prefer a richer taste, pretty much all greens can benefit from a little cheesiness. Example: I'm planning on making Alton Brown's Mustard Green Gratin for Thanksgiving using some of the abundance currently growing in my garden. But if you have a lot of greens and no crowd to eat them, preserving them is easy, too.
Earlier this year, I told you how I preserved mustard greens by pickling them. Those were tasty, but honestly, I have yet to use them all and should probably toss the leftovers. My dirty little vegetable gardener's secret? I don't really like pickled things. It's true. I prefer that fresh-out-of-the-garden taste. And when it comes to preserving both the vegetable and its fresh flavor, the best technique is usually freezing. You can freeze all kinds of garden greens using a simple blanching and shocking process. Here's how.

The Rise of Israeli Baseball Starts in N.Y.
On a recent evening at Manhattan's City Winery, the music director, Shlomo Lipetz, found himself in an unusual situation: For once, the crowd had come to see him.
That's because Mr. Lipetz was playing the other role in his intriguing double life—Israel's biggest baseball star.
In between scheduling concerts, the 33-year-old Mr. Lipetz flies to Israel to play in for the Israeli National Baseball team. In September, he is hoping to represent Israel in the qualifying tournament of the World Baseball Classic—the first time the country has been invited to participate.
The City Winery event was the first-ever fundraiser for the Israel Association of Baseball, which has made the World Baseball Classic tournament the centerpiece of a grand plan to expand interest in the sport, raise funds for a new baseball complex and ultimately, they say, revive a professional league that lasted only one season in 2007. Overall, they are seeking to raise $4.4 million.
Currently only about 1,000 people play baseball in Israel, in a country of eight million.
"Clearly, in Israel, baseball is a developing sport, and it is one of those countries that needs something to help ignite that growth," said Paul Archey, president of the World Baseball Classic, Inc., which was founded by Major League Baseball and the players union in 2005. "They're doing everything they can to be competitive in the tournament but also to use this as a springboard to help grow the game in the country."
It is an effort with many sources of support in New York, the largest Jewish community outside of Israel. A top Israeli leage official hails from the Upper West Side. One of its top financial backers is a Brooklyn native.
And at the center of it all is Mr. Lipetz, who has watched baseball overcome great obstacles.
"I was the first generation to play baseball," said Mr. Lipetz, a Tel Aviv native who discovered the game after Long Island relatives took him to Shea Stadium during a visit in 1986.
After that first Mets game as a boy, Mr. returned to Israel and asked classmates if anyone had heard of baseball. One of their parents had, and they cobbled together a team.
The game was barely known in Israel then. There was only one real field, in a village founded by American Baptists outside of Tel Aviv. Today it remains the country's only quality baseball venue.
The country's ballparks had no pitching mounds. Attempts to fashion them were routinely razed by puzzled groundskeepers. Some sites had animals roaming the outfield.
Once, the teams made an agreement. "If somebody hits the horse it's a ground rule double," said Leeshai Lemish, 34, an early teammate of Mr. Lipetz who harbored his own dreams of advancing in the sport.
Coaches were frequently selected based on one qualification: understanding the rules.
Peter Kurz remembers taking Israeli Little League teams to compete overseas.
"We lost games by 20 or 30 runs," said Mr. Kurz, who grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan before moving to Israel. He was asked to coach his son's team despite having no experience; he is now secretary general of the Israeli Association of Baseball. "It was a pitiful team. We had a great time doing it."
During the country's more dire moments, players would arrive for practice and pile their gas masks in the corner of the field, many of them decorated with favorite Major League Baseball team logos.
The most promising players thudded against the bane of every Israel athlete—military service is required of every citizen at age 18.
"That's a way to kill a sport. You develop amazing talent from 10 to 18 and then send them to the army," Mr. Lipetz said.
He won a rare exception that allowed him to continue playing during his service, but training opportunities remained limited. By the time he came to the U.S. and enrolled at a junior college in California, Mr. Lipetz was 22.
No one had scouted him, so Mr. Lipetz walked onto the team. "I was lucky that year, the team was really bad," he said.
Unaccustomed to the rigors of daily training, he ached after every practice and iced every appendage. "My arm, my legs, everything was hurting," he said.
But in two years his fastball had quickened to 88 from 76 mph, he said. Still, no major league scouts were interested in a 25-year-old college graduate.
He turned to independent and semipro leagues and injured his arm just before the start of the first Israeli professional baseball league in 2007. He recovered in time to join the Netanya Tigers for the season's second half and found himself one of the few actual Israelis in the league, which was "kind of weird," he said.
But he endeared himself to teammates who were desperate for fresh arms. There were no minor leagues to call up new players for fill in for the injured. "Everyone was so exhausted," recalled Mr. Lipetz's teammate Dan Rootenberg. "I pitched a few innings and I was the starting left fielder."
Mr. Lipetz "became our ace pitcher," said Mr. Rootenberg, now a physical therapist in New York.
The league lasted only one tumultuous season, plagued by marketing and financial mismanagement, said players, coaches and investors. But one original investor still believes a professional league is still possible.
"That's my goal," said Jeffrey Rosen, an American businessman who bought an Israeli basketball team after the baseball league folded.
"We seem to be on the track again," said Mr. Rosen, who has committed $50,000 toward the fundraising effort.
Many doubt that Israelis would ever embrace baseball with the ardor of Jewish Americans who saw it as "a way of integrating into the mainstream," said Peter Ephross, editor of "Jewish Major Leaguers in Their Own Words," a new collection of oral histories. "It's thought of as America's game, so Jews playing it and Jews following and Jewish stars" were ways of asserting their new identity, he said.
When stars like Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax sat out games on Jewish holidays—and those choices were accepted—it "was seen as a real step forward," he said.
But with "Israel and baseball there's really nothing," he said. "It will never be as popular as basketball or soccer over there."
Mr. Lipetz is among the skeptics.
He is a legend in Israeli baseball circles but still largely unknown in the country. He may be among the top Israelis, but their skills pale in comparison to even minor leaguers in the U.S.
He is "definitely a candidate" for the WBC team, Mr. Kurz said, though even Mr. Lipetz acknowledges that a few mph have been chipped off his fastball.
Mr. Lipetz said he is hoping to make the team "as one of the token Israelis" he said, smiling.
The Israeli team is being coached by former major league player Brad Ausmus, will be traveling to Jupiter, Fla. to train in early September before competing against France, Spain, and South Africa. One team will advance to the World Baseball Classic in March 2013, which occurs once every four years.
Mr. Lipetz still flies back to Israel for international competitions, most recently for the European Cup last year with a performance that became instantly legendary in Israeli baseball circles. He pitched a complete game shut-out on the final day of competition and then convinced the coach to start him again in a second game beginning only an hour later. Israel lost.
"A heartbreaker," said Mr. Lipetz.
He spends the rest of his time at City Winery, where the 6-foot-4 athlete with a long face, shaggy beard, spiky mullet and multiple tattoos stands out among the musicians and patrons.
As he taught himself to play baseball, Mr. Lipetz learned how to become a music programmer on his own, from the deep tone of the "shhh" that he has perfected to silence a room to his sometime-role as a "professional clapper" to spark a crowd.
"Having a PhD from Harvard in music booking is not what I'm looking for," said City Winery owner Michael Dorf, who first hired Mr. Lipetz as an intern for a small Jewish music label. "I'm looking for someone who can understand my taste."
Music has assumed an equal—if not greater—significance in Mr. Lipetz's life. On a recent tour of City Winery, he proudly showed off posters signed by artists who have participated in benefit concerts he organizes each year at Carnegie Hall. In contrast, trophies won from his New York leagues are crammed on a shelf in a back office.
"I can not be a more lucky person, I love my job," he said. He likened it to scrolling through his ipod and inviting every artist he likes to perform on your personal stage. "It's really that cool," he said.
He has used baseball to bond with musicians and managers. "It's always a conversation starter," he said, which was especially helpful in the venue's early days when the concept of a New York City winery was greeted with skepticism. When agents heard the name Shlomo, "I'm assuming 90% were expecting this 70-year-old man."
Some might now be tempted to underestimate him as a baseball player, he said.
"Even though everyone probably laughs saying, 'Who is this guy working in a place seven days a week? He must not be that good,'" he said, and grinned. "I'm still very good."

It seems strange but perhaps that perception depends on what direction one is coming from. I guess you would only have to talk to people like Steve Bruno or Marc Loranger to discover that winning puts a huge bullseye on your back. Now Kelly Jeffrey realizes that has happened to his Mounties thanks to their sudden eruption as a team of championship caliber following nearly 15 years of languishing in the everglades.
The situation had become so bad that when officials were arranging interlock games with the Quebec conference, a matchup between the Mounties and Laval was postponed as long as possible as, naturally, the Quebec team wanted to ensure some strong competition for their 15,000 fans. It was only when Gary Ross was tearing up the scene that the Mounties made the trek. Quebec City newspapers played up the exploits of Ross so much fans attended primarily to see this phenom perform ŌĆō and he did ŌĆō even though the Mounties were hammered 77-7. Ross scored the lone Mountie touchdown. Atlantic conference teams refused to punt in the direction of Ross, but coach Constantine said he had no qualms about doing so ŌĆō that is until Ross skipped to the sidelines for 50 yards. After that they, too, aimed their kicks out of bounds.
While Ross is long departed from the local scene, several others have taken up the torch. Local star Michael Bohan has earned plaudits across the country, especially after his major return set up a touchdown against Laval in the Uteck Bowl. Donovan Saunders carried the return load until an injury slowed him last season and OromoctoŌĆÖs Josh Blanchard performed the task in fine fashion to spark the winning comeback against St. MaryŌĆÖs in the Loney Bowl, leading the Atlantic Conference championship.
The 2014 schedule was recently released and shows the defending champion Mounties will be featured in the homecoming games of two opponents, while the St. MaryŌĆÖs Huskies will be in Sackville for their own homecoming on Sept. 20. As a matter of fact the Mounties, because of their 2013 performance, have drawn the Huskies on three occasions. Last season they took the measure of the Haligonians three times and look to make it four this year ŌĆō three regular season wins plus one in the playoffs. Two of the three games will be in Sackville and the other in Halifax ŌĆō with the location unnown due to the major renovations taking place at Huskie Stadium.
In their other games the Mounties will play home-and-away games with the St. FX X-Men and Acadia Axemen and will travel to Lennoxville for their interlocking game with Bishops Gaitors.
Despite the sudden emergency of the Mounties as championship contenders midway through last season there are a good many doubters ŌĆō those who believe it was more by good luck than management that they came from 1-4 to finish 4-4 and then knock off both Acadia and Saint MaryŌĆÖs to earn their berth in the Uteck Bowl ŌĆō the semifinal match for the national championship. These critics point to the need for some late game comebacks, especially in the Loney Bowl when when they trailed by seven points with under four minutes remaining. They suggest the Mounties got all the breaks ŌĆō not that they werenŌĆÖt deserved after so many years of frustration. However, the ŌĆ£doubting ThomasesŌĆØ have taken a wait-and-see approach before proclaiming the Sackville squad is one of truly championship calibre.
Obviously, only time will tell. After going to the Vanier in 1984 the Mounties won the conference title the ensuing year and were edged out by UBC in the national semi-finals. Again in 1992, after having done well in the ŌĆÖ91 Vanier game, the Mounties fell in the conference finals but posted a winning record.
Pierre Arsenault, Mount A athletic director, who contributes immeasurably to the teamŌĆÖs success, takes a pragmatic approach. He says it will be difficult for his teams to have constant scoreboard success against schools with much greater enrolment and deeper pockets. His aim is to remain in contention in each game with the hope of coming up with a winning combination from time to time. He believes it his responsibility to equip each team with the best coaching possible and work with them in recruiting student-athletes who best fit the Mountie mold.
Really, who could ask for more?
ŌĆō Sept. 6 ŌĆō Acadia at Mount Allison
ŌĆō Sept. 13 ŌĆō Mount Allison at St. FX
ŌĆō Sept. 20 ŌĆō St. MaryŌĆÖs at Mount Allison
ŌĆō Sept. 27 ŌĆō Mount Allison at BishopŌĆÖs
ŌĆō Oct. 4 ŌĆō Mount Allison at St. MaryŌĆÖs
ŌĆō Oct.11 ŌĆō St. MaryŌĆÖs at Mount Allison
ŌĆō Oct. 18 ŌĆō Mount Allison at Acadia
ŌĆō Oct. 25 ŌĆō St. FX at Mount Allison
All games begin at 2 p.m. and the semi finals, pitting third place at number two, will be Nov. 1. The Loney Bowl will be held at the home of the pennant winner on Nov. 8. All teams will have Nov. 15 off with the AUS winner travelling to play the Ontario champion on Nov. 22 and the Vanier Cup game on Nov. 29 at a location to be announced.

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes."– – Justice Felix Frankfurter
It used to be the three branches – congress, the executive, and the courts – that we considered the make-up of our nation's federal government. And some would point to the press as a possible fourth branch, due to the virtue of its influence in shaping our policies. Today, more and more people have come to view corporate and foreign lobby firms, with their preponderant clout and enormous power, as the official fourth branch of our nation's government. Not only do I agree with them, I would even take it a step further and give it a higher status it certainly deserves.
Operating invisibly under the radar of media and public scrutiny, lobby groups and foreign agents have become the 'epicenter' of our government, where former statesmen and 'dime a dozen generals' cash in on their connections and peddle their enormous influence to the highest bidders turned clients. These groups' activities shape our nation's policies and determine the direction of the flow of its taxpayer driven wealth, while to them the interests of the majority are considered irrelevant, and the security of the nation is perceived as inconsequential.
In Part1 of this series I used Saudi influence via its lobby and foreign agents by default as a case to illustrate how certain… Continue reading
Among Hundreds of Books, The Strongest Approach to Truth
October 7, 2006
Reviewer: Robert D. Steele (Oakton, VA United States)
It is with great sadness that I conclude that this book is the strongest of the 770+ books I have reviewed here at Amazon, almost all non-fiction. I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war (see my review of Jim Bamford's "Pretext for War"), and I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative neo-Nazi coup d'etat and kick-off of the clash of civilizations (see my review of "Crossing the Rubicon" as well as "State of Denial"). Most fascinatingly, the author links Samuel Huntington, author of "Clash of Civilizations" with Leo Strauss, the connecting rod between Nazi fascists and the neo-cons.
This is, without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly suggests that select rogue elements within the US Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism.
The author draws on historical examples of US fabrication of threats (e.g. the bombing of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor) and many others (Jim Bamford publicized Operation Northwoods). It is an undeniable fact that the U.S. Government has been willing to kill… Continue reading
Pentagon strategic plan codifies unilateral, preemptive attacks. The doctrine marks a shift from coalitions such as NATO, analysts say.
by John Hendren
Los Angeles Times
March 19, 2005
WASHINGTON – Two years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Pentagon has formally included in key strategic plans provisions for launching preemptive strikes against nations thought to pose a threat to the United States.
The doctrine also now stipulates that the U.S. will use "active deterrence" in concert with its allies "if we can" but could act unilaterally otherwise, Defense officials said.
The changes codify the more assertive defense policy adopted by the Bush administration since the Sept. 11 attacks and are included in a "National Military Strategy" and "National Defense Strategy," reports that are part of a comprehensive review of military strategy conducted every four years.
"The president has the obligation to protect the country," said Douglas J. Feith, the Defense Department's undersecretary for policy. "And I don't think that there's anything in our Constitution that says that the president should not protect the country unless he gets some non-American's participation or approval of that."
Pentagon managers use the strategic plan to guide such decisions as where to place bases, which bases to eliminate, what weapons to buy and where to position them. The heads of the United States' regional commands across the globe, in turn, use the strategy to prioritize spending and form strategies for eliminating threats in their regions.
"The potentially catastrophic impact of an attack against the United States, its allies and its interests may necessitate actions in self-defense to preempt adversaries before they can attack," the National Military Strategy states.…Continue reading

ZIMBABWE internationals, Method Mwanjali and Esrom Nyandoro, are set to have an extended stay at South African Premiership side, Mamelodi Sundowns, beyond the current season that ends in May.
Nyandoro has struggled with injuries and nailing down a regular first team jersey, as he gets to the twilight of his career, while Mwanjali's future has been clouded by the Asiagate scandal.
Mwanjali was banned for life by Zifa.
Yesterday, Sundowns' technical director, Trott Moloto, revealed that they were ready to extend the contracts of Mwanjali and Nyandoro.
Speaking in Harare yesterday, Moloto allayed fears that the duo maybe on their way out of the Chloorkop side, insisting the players were still very much in the club's plans.
"People should not panic. With Method and Esrom, these are valuable players who bring something special to the club," said Moloto.
"The players only started training on Friday, and today (yesterday) as we speak, they are at Isokinetic High Performance Centre, for a normal standard practice to measure their level of fitness.
It's normal that at a certain stage a contract comes to an end. But what I can tell you about these players is that they are very much part of the team going forward. There is a mechanism of people sitting down and renegotiating. Say, for instance, a player has been earning 10 rand in the contract you will be negotiating for the player to earn say 12 rand.
"We are still to hear from them but when they are ready they will come forward and we talk about it."
Moloto, who was accompanied to Harare by another Sundowns senior scout, Harris Choue, for a meeting with Dynamos and CAPS United flew back to South Africa yesterday and is expected back in the country today for another meeting with Highlanders, also reiterated the club's position on the players that have been fingered in the Asiagate scandal.
Mwanjali and Nyasha Mushekwi have been implicated in the match-fixing scandal and while the former Warriors skipper, Mwanjali, was slapped with a life ban by Zifa, Mushekwi escaped with a lighter sentence.
The club has stood by the players.
Yesterday, Moloto, reiterated the position and said the issue will not even affect the contracts negotiations with the defender.
"As a club we have made a decision, we are quite confident with what the players told us about match-fixing and we have to take their word," said Moloto.
"There has to be that trust between a club and the players. The scandal, it happened, but doesn't mean anything. People have to be found guilty and no one from Fifa came to us or pointed a finger."
The former Bafana coach also spoke on the unfruitful stint of Dynamos striker Simba Sithole with the Pretoria side.
"Simba was never brought to Sundowns with very high expectations to the extent that when he goes onto the pitch he is a kind of player who would surprise everyone by scoring hat-tricks.
"At Sundowns we also had experienced players like Nyasha (Mushekwi) and Katlego Mphela and you would agree with me that these are international players.
"So to expect him to compete with these international players was a bit too much to ask of him.
"We didn't want to load an unnecessary burden on the young player. So we said to the coach this is a special boy keep him for the future.
"But the coach then was under pressure and when he wanted to pick him that's when Sithole suffered two serious injuries. So we had to find him somewhere else to continue playing football.
"The target was to bring him back after two seasons because we believed there was something special in this boy but then he decided to move on.
"Simba is a good player and he will remain a special player," said Moloto.
The Absa Premiership big spenders enjoy cordial relations with CAPS United and this have seen a number of the Green Machine players joining the Brazilians.
Yesterday, Moloto said his team may scout for more talent here. Although, during the current transfer season, Sundowns have not signed any foreign player as their quota is already full, they may put some local players on the Sundowns' radar if they are impressed with their performance.
"We are coming here and this is a very special tour to us. We will see what happens.
"You never know this might be an opportunity for one or two players from these clubs to clinch a deal. We are coming here with an open mind," said Moloto.

Google the keywords "addicted to plastic surgery," and the name " Heidi Montag" stands out more than her surgically enlarged breasts. In November 2009, at 23 years young, the naturally lovely reality TV celebrity endured 10 plastic surgeries in one day—3 years after having had a nose job and breast augmentation, according to NYDailyNews.com.
Why did her plastic surgeries cause so many headlines? In addition to making for juicy gossip, the excessiveness of her self-alterations inspired much speculation about what could compel someone so young, so pretty and so successful to be so dissatisfied with her looks that, in addition to the dozen plastic surgeries she's already had, she plans future "upgrades," as she told People.
Montag's own explanation for her physical remake was, in part, to blame the industry she's in and, in part, to bring out the best in herself. But other theories abound, from low self-esteem to media scrutiny of celebrities' beauty quotients to a psychological disorder known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
Body Dysmorphic Disorder
BDD, according to Encyclopedia of Mind Disorders results from a distorted body image. People who have BDD, according to MayoClinic.com, often spend many hours a day obsessing over minor or imagined flaws in their appearance. Theyll put themselves through multiple cosmetic procedures, but never be satisfied with the results.
After their surgeries, they either find something else wrong with the area they had corrected or they become preoccupied with another area of their body, according to a paper by Eda Gorbis, PhD, MFCC, Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA School of Medicine..
Features that people with BDD typically dwell on are their nose, hair, skin, moles or freckles, acne or blemishes, baldness, breast or muscle size and genitalia, according to MayoClinic.com.
Addiction, Obsession, Compulsion and Perfectionism
BDD symptoms resemble behaviors that are associated with addiction, obsession, compulsion and perfectionism, as in the following partial list of symptoms adapted from MayoClinic.com and Encyclopedia of Mind Disorders:

Metal Recycler Needs Equipment for the Long Haul
Great Western Recycling Industries, Inc. (GWR), St. Paul, Minn., needs equipment that can handle the everyday abuse that comes with working in a high-traffic scrap metal recycling facility. That's why they count on a pair of Bobcat� skid-steer loaders.
"We need them for confined spaces when moving material," says John Kolesar, operations superintendent. "We use the skid-steer loaders a lot in the aluminum can building where we have two balers. They're used every day, nine hours a day."
A year after Kolesar began at GWR, he purchased a Bobcat 873 skid-steer loader because of the service, parts availability and dependability. "We were looking for something for the long haul, not short term," he says. In 2004, the company bought an S250.
Bobcat T300 Loader
The skid-steer loaders help with a critical part of the recycling process. When customers arrive at the facility's main doors to deliver scrap aluminum, forklifts transport the product to a scale for weighing. After a ticket is given to the customer showing the aluminum's weight, the material is then transported and dumped in front of the balers. To feed the scrap metal into the balers, workers use industrial grapple attachments on the skid-steer loaders. Both have solid tires to eliminate the possibility of flats. Because the industrial bucket grapple is composed of grapple tines and a bucket-shaped bottom, Kolesar says it's ideal for lifting the scrap metal and placing it onto the baler's steel conveyor belt.
"Feeding the balers is the main function of the loaders," he says. "Without them, we'd have a heck of a time and we'd have to do a lot of the feeding by hand."
Even though 2,000 lb. of scrap material cannot be set on the baler's conveyor belt all at once, Kolesar says he still wanted loaders that had enough lifting capacity to haul the scrap metal where it needed to go. The 873 has a 2,400-lb. rated operating capacity (ROC) and the S250 has a 2,500-lb. ROC. In addition to feeding balers, the loaders also are used for moving the resulting bales after the aluminum is processed through the baler.
"We lift a lot of weight. So we're always looking for more lifting capacity if we can get it," Kolesar says.
Once the scrap metal has been processed, the bales are readied for shipment to mills across the world that reprocess the material into end products. While the skid-steer loaders typically work inside the facility, they work outside to load the overseas shipping containers. Kolesar says the skid-steer loaders' maneuverability is key when they enter the stainless steel bin to haul and load the metal into a dump hopper.
Bobcat S250 Loader
The maneuverability of the loaders also comes in handy when performing cleanup and snow removal. Oftentimes, Kolesar says he will use the machines with buckets for cleaning up fallen scrap metal from around the facility's drop-off doors. The buckets are also used for clearing snow during the winter. "It's nice with the skid-steer loaders because they easily clean up around the doors and the building," he says. "You get the larger loaders in there and they don't do such a good job."
As operations superintendent, Kolesar believes it's his job to ensure his operators stay efficient. "I think the more comfortable the operators are, the more production you're going to get out of them," he says. That's why the S250 has an enclosed cab with heater and air conditioning.
In addition to feeding the balers, cleanup and snow removal, Kolesar uses the loaders for maintaining the 9-ft. fence that surrounds the scrap metal facility. Occasionally, operators will attach the auger and drill holes to place new fence posts.
At the end of the day, after the loaders have hauled thousands of pounds of scrap metal, Kolesar says he needs machines that he can rely on to start and work just as hard the next day, the next week and the next year.
"Our loaders have held up well and they're very reliable," he says. "That's all anybody can ask for."

Hello All,
I need some help determining which Audio \ EQ unit will give me the best output audio on my FT-950 using the MD-100 Mic. Any help with your experience in this would be most appreciated. Thanks in Advance .
Doc, KB9GFX
Doc Denny
Lots of options out there. I've had very satisfying results with the W2IHY 8 Band EQ/Noise Gate. www.w2ihy.com
73 Mike
The W2IHY EQ will do a good job but you want to know more about the dynamics.
First, the mike needs to have reasonable low end response below 500 hz.
Most mikes are more than good at the mid and high end.
Next what filter bandwidth does the radio have?
This determines the high end that you can get through the radio.
For example if the filter is a 2700 hz, you can't force to much audio beyond about 2900 that will still be down the filter skirt by a number of DB.
On the low end, the radios usually fall off quite steep below 200 hz.
So this becomes what you have to work with.
Get your bandwidth filled and compatible with your voice and you should sound good.
This is not real wide ESSB but good within stock radio parameters you have to work with.
On the example above, the IHY box 50 and 100 hz will be of little use as well as the 3200hz will be of little use if your total bandwidth is narrower than these EQ bands.
Lastly, the advice is not to get to many involved at the same time, telling you how you sound or you will be confused as to who is right.
Everybody hears differently but if you get it set well, then come on the air you get feedback/comment that tells you what you you have without all the hassle.
I began with an EQ setting about oppisite of the mike response, meaning you don't boost the areas that are already high until it becomes fine tuning time.
Boost or fill in the low response areas first, then fine tune
Good luck..
What are you trying to accomplish?
. . . There's a 3-band parametric EQ built into the FT-950.
And your TX bandpass is limited by the IF filters to (I think) 2.7 MHz.
And the second question (always relevant):
. . . What's your budget?
There are any number of "voice processors" on the market. They usually include a mic preamp, EQ, noise gating, and compression. Visit the "pro audio" section of you local (large) music store to see what's available.

Rudy and Beth are one of the sweetest couples I have ever worked with. They are so loving and compassionate and they have the biggest smiles you could ever see. The best man and maid of honor speeches went on to elaborate saying that Beth always puts family first and is the most loving person. That Rudy is just the best guy and that they knew Beth and Rudy were it once they heard about them. It was "meant to be".
Even though I had only known Rudy and Beth through the wedding planning process, it was so easy to see that their friends and family loved them both dearly, and that they were a one of a kind match.
I think I mentioned before that Rudy and Beth met at her apartment. Rudy was the maintenance guy at the complex Beth had just moved into, and when he got there to make a few fixes, he lingered a little too long. Beth was just trying to watch a movie and Rudy went on talking away and overstaying his welcome. Or so she thought at first.
Turns out, he asked her out that day, and they have been together ever since! I love that story because it shows how much Rudy knew that it was something from the second he saw her. You go Rudy, and your perseverance!
Beths dress was one of a kind. I've seen many many wedding dresses, and never anything like this. It was just so gorgeous and it looked so much more on her!
Bad ass….
Aren't these ladies and their coral dresses just the most beautiful!? They actually had a dress fiasco and the original dresses didn't come in time, so they got these beauts off Rent the Runway.com and if you haven't been there…go….now. They have awesome designer dresses for rent and they even send you two sizes just in case one doesn't fit!
Look at these guys. Right after this, Rudy planked….yup, he's a funny one.
Look at Rudy's smile. He's like me, where we smile so big that our eyes get all squinchy. I love it!
Their portraits are some of my favorite from this year, we had an awesome time and did I mention how gorgeous they are?!
The way he loves her is unreal.
This little man is Beth's nephew and I think Rudy has a run for his money there! Watch out
The flowers were done in vibrant oranges and corals and reds. I feel like they match who Beth and Rudy are to a tee. Romantic, Loving, Classic, Gorgeous, and fun!
Hope you enjoyed!

Study Concludes Candy Corn Consumption Leads to Heroin Addiction

Dia de los Twerkos: The Perfect Blend of Cultures

El Dia De Los Muertos, a Mexican holiday observed to honor and pray for the dead, is actually a result of such a cross-pollination. Pre-Columbian civilizations like the Aztecs held month-long festivals for the dead and dedicated this period to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. After Columbus,...Read More

Maputo — Mozambique's Central Office for the Fight Against Corruption (GCCC) laid criminal charges in 13 cases of corruption in January, and submitted a further six to courts for trial.
According to GCCC spokesperson Bernardo Duce, addressing a Maputo press conference on Wednesday, these were among 31 cases processed by the GCCC last month.
Duce said that one of the cases involves four officials of the Mozambican Tax Authority (AT) who, in the process of collecting tax revenue from importers, diverted into their own pockets 364,000 meticais (about 12,130 US dollars). Investigations into this case were concluded in January, and formal charges have been laid.
Another case involves five officials from a provincial directorate of industry and trade who are accused of helping themselves to 109,340 meticais from fees for issuing permits and from inspections of commercial establishments. This case has been dealt with quickly since the crimes occurred in January and were immediately investigated and charges brought.
Duce said that three officials of a provincial directorate of justice are accused of taking a bribe of 200,000 meticais from a contractor in exchange for awarding him a contract for construction work on the local civil identification services.
There is also a case involving a police officer who took a bribe from a suspect and in return tore up the case file against him
Among the cases which have not yet been formally charged is one involving two AT officials who allegedly tried to extort 200,000 meticais from a foreign businessman. The businessman was owed two million meticais in VAT (Value Added Tax) rebates. He received the money, and then the two officials demanded ten per cent because they had speeded the process up for him.
"The businessman denounced the extortion and we are working on the matter", said Duce.
Work to investigate cases denounced to the GCCC is under way and Duce promised that, no matter how long the investigations take, "we shall always take those implicated to court one by one".

You know when you look back on your childhood and scorn yourself for the bad decisions you made during that time? I really ought to flog myself with a Cat O' Nine Tails for actually going to the theaters to see this movie back in 1997.
John Hughes seemed to think that making anything remotely funny would be a bad idea, since all the humorous moments in this movie are as funny as getting gangrene on your writing hand. Extremely contrived storyline and characters, annoying central character, and not an ounce of creativity to be found anywhere in this dogshit.
I still can't believe that John Hughes, the man who wrote and directed Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, wrote this horrible movie. It's sad that he couldn't really redeem himself after having a creative hand in Home Alone 3.
