Six West Bank settlers and three police officers were hurt during the demolition of an illegal outpost near Jericho.
Settlers threw rocks at police early Thursday morning when they gathered at an outpost near Mitzpeh Jericho to raze six dwellings. Police responded with tear gas, Haaretz reported. Hundreds of security forces reportedly gathered at the outpost, as well as 200 outpost supporters.
The police and three settlers were injured when the roof of one of the buildings collapsed as a protester was being removed.
At least three settlers were arrested on suspicion of assaulting police officers.
A dwelling in a second outpost was removed earlier on Thursday morning, according to reports.

Simisola (1994) is a Ruth Rendell novel featuring her liberal policeman, Chief Inspector Wexford and his conservative deputy, Mike Burden. Set in the fictional town of Kingsmarkham and using the medium of a "murder mystery", this work explores the extent of racism in a middle class white community. Prejudice proves to touch even those who, like Wexford, believe themselves to be free of it. Indeed, the art of Simisola is to reveal confusion over race by deeply embedding it into the crime plot. Not only does racial oppression generate crime, but it also muddles the solving of crime. By showing the police making significant mistakes due to the racial identity of crime victims, the novel implicates the police, a…

Santa Claus had a chance to visit with Hannah Kielo during the Sensitive Santa evening at the Swift Current Mall on Dec. 10.
Santa Claus made a special visit on Dec. 10 with a special group of children who do not always have the capacity to experience a visit with Jolly Old Saint Nick.
Sitting on Santa's lap during the Christmas season is something most parents take for granted, but for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder this Christmas tradition can be overwhelming and uncomfortable.
Hosted at the Swift Current Mall last Tuesday, the Sensitive Santa event took into account the needs of these children by dimming the lights, not playing Christmas music, and providing one-on-one time without long line ups.
The event was proposed by Arden Fiala, the Saskatchewan director for Autism Society Canada, who had heard about the program from a fellow director with the Autism Society of Canada.
"Some children have never had a successful visit with Santa, because if Santa even has aftershave on, that could be enough to trigger that the child wouldn't even want to be next to Santa, or if Santa was a smoker, or if they hear children screaming," Fiala said after the hour long Sensitive Santa visits which were enjoyed by 11 children. "It was also great to see the parents watching their children with Santa, because I think it was a win-win for everyone. To give that gift of time, for Tim (Bugera, Swift Current Mall Manager) and Santa to make that extra special visit to the mall, and I know his time is valuable too, that was the best gift that he could give for not only the children that saw Santa last Tuesday, but as well as the parents and the caregivers that got to see their children have that successful visit."
"Sensitive Santa was started to optimize the visit with children especially on the spectrum, or children that have high sensitivity to sensory issues, so for light, sights, smells, sounds, or children waiting in line. Sensitive Santa, we ensure he is a non-smoker. Tim turned down the lights at the Mall, the Mall was actually shut down, so between Tim Bugera and Santa, they gave an hour of their time to dim the lights, no music was playing. The children came in as an appointment so they didn't have to wait. Santa was very well aware of this, so if a child wanted to stand next to Santa or get a little closer, it was all geared up for optimum success, so that these children could actually have a visit with Santa that was quiet and stressless."
Fiala, who knows the families involved through the Parent Support Group, felt this was a special Christmas gift for the families thanks to the hard work of others.
"I'm connected with these parents through the Support Group, so to see them experience their child having that successful visit, that calm, quiet visit with Santa that most parents kind of take for granted when they can just take their child to the Mall, it was great. I don't even know many other words, because it was just a great gift that we received from Tim and Santa that the opportunity was provided."
She also thanked the man in the red suit for his special attention to the children.
"This Santa, he was so great with the ones that were very shy. He wasn't even on his chair, he stood up, gave high fives, talked to them, and slowly started getting them towards sitting down with him. It was all geared up towards whatever the child wanted. If you didn't want to sit with Santa, you didn't have to."
Plans are already in place to have a second Sensitive Santa event in 2014, with all involved expressing their desire to be involved for another year.
"One of the added bonuses was Santa and Tim were also given information on autism awareness, so that's why I say it was a great evening just to even know that Santa now knows what autism is."
Additional information about the Parent Support Group call Fiala at 306-297-3931 or Lisa at 306-773-0171. For more details about the Saskatchewan Families for Effective Autism Treatment (SaskFEAT) visit online www.saskfeat.com or on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/Saskfeat

French Energy Law to Lower Atomic Power Reliance, PM Valls Says
April 8 (Bloomberg) -- French Prime Minister Manuel Valls vowed to pursue plans to curb the nation's reliance on nuclear power with an energy law to be unveiled by the end of June.
"The law that will be discussed in depth by parliament will be the text for our new energy policy for France for the future," Valls said today in a policy speech to parliament. It will be presented to cabinet "before the summer."
Valls reiterated President Francois Hollande's plan to cut dependence on atomic power to half of all output by 2025 from about three-quarters now. State-run Electricite de France SA operates the country's 58 nuclear reactors.
The law to shift toward renewables and away from nuclear is already about a year behind schedule. Valls was named head of the government last week after Hollande's Socialist Party was trounced in local elections. Segolene Royal became environment and energy minister, the fourth since Hollande was elected in May 2012.
"The climate is probably the area where regulation is most needed," Valls said. "It's a major challenge for the planet and we will respond with a real low-carbon strategy."
France will aim to cut use of fossil fuels by 30 percent and carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2030, he said.
The nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011 prompted France's neighbors Germany and Italy to turn their backs on atomic energy and raised questions at home about the energy source. The atomic regulator ordered EDF to carry out safety measures costing an estimated 10 billion euros ($14 billion) to make reactors safer and Hollande planned to close EDF's oldest plant at Fessenheim by the end of 2016.
Ministry officials estimated last month in testimony to a parliamentary commission that as many as 20 reactors may have to be halted by 2025 to meet Hollande's pledge to reduce dependence on nuclear power and boost renewables.

Lindsay Lohan deciding to stay in rehab for a few extra days?
Lindsay Lohan seems to have accepted the help she's been getting in rehab, according to a new report. Though LiLo will officially be allowed to return to the free world on July 31, sources says she's opting to stay in Cliffside Rehab in Malibu, Calif. for a few extra days to help her transition back to normal life.
TMZ has the news, and acknowledges that some of the story "sounds like B.S. for sure." For instance, an insider tells TMZ that Lohan would like to live in a "lower level, sober living house," which TMZ doubts is the case. But this desire to not slip back into drug or alcohol abuse echoes past reports about Lohan's current mental state, and bodes well for the troubled child star in the long run.
According to TMZ, several people "connected with Lindsay" say they're "shocked" by how well Lohan is behaving during this rehab sentence. "It's like invasion of the body snatchers. She's a different person," one says.
As previously reported, it seems like Lohan's plan is still to move to New York after she gets out of rehab. Hopefully she can keep her act together this time because, as her father Michael Lohan says, it likely will be her last chance to have a career in Hollywood.
Of course, Lohan will soon have the chance to tell her side of the story. Oprah Winfrey scored an interview with Lohan slated to air at some point in August to coincide with the release of "The Canyons."

We recently received a brand new preview version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3--the long-awaited third game in the fighting game series that pits Capcom all-stars against some of Marvel's finest. The new preview build doesn't include Marvel's Phoenix and Capcom's Mike Haggar, both of which were just announced today, but it does include several other previously announced characters that were not playable until now. Needless to say, we've spent quite a bit of time with the lineup, which includes a mix of brand new characters, as well as some old favorites.
An absolute fiend with projectiles, Arthur is a fierce contender who isn't afraid to mix it up in melee as well. With a half-dozen different ranged attacks, most of which come in successions of two or three, he can easily break through single-projectile characters, such as Ryu. His small stature also makes him tricky to rush down at times because some attacks will simply sail over his head. Arthur is not very nimble, however, and his lack of a dash and floaty double jump make escaping from a tight situation challenging if caught unprepared. In melee, the wide reach of his sword strikes and numerous low-hitting attacks can force your opponent back into projectile range. If you're in need of a boost, Arthur's golden armor super affords him roughly 20 seconds of enhanced projectile attacks and will even stay with him to boost his assist attacks if he switches out.
Crimson Viper
Crimson Viper's highly technical gameplay translates well into the fast and frenetic world of MvC3. Unlike the other Street Fighter contenders we've seen, she brings in the special systems at play in Street Fighter IV. Her focus attack can absorb a number of hits and crumples foes just like before, while EX versions of her special attacks can be excited at the cost of one bar of special meter. C. Viper is a deadly fast character and easy to combo with, even if you're just mashing buttons. When you pair that with her quick and deadly burning kick, she makes an excellent character for both newcomers and veterans alike--even with such low stamina.
If you were a fan of the Master of Magnetism's previous incarnations in the series, then you'll be happy to know that little has changed. His disruptor projectile is still great for keeping opponents at a distance. Likewise, his returning gravitation attack--which grabs enemies, stuns them, and brings them closer to Magneto--is great for setting up a ground combo that you can eventually continue in the air with his launcher. The same goes for Magneto's throw, which momentarily stuns opponents in a similar way, allowing you to capitalize as long as you dash over. Magneto's level one supers--magnetic tempest and shockwave--are the same as in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, while his level three super grabs opponents and crushes them in magnetically dramatic fashion. Overall, he's a bit slower than most of the other characters on the roster, but in the hands of the right player, his attacks are pretty devastating.
The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is an oddball character who has an excellent keep-away game and ensures your opponent has the least amount of fun possible. At the heart of MODOK are his analyze cubes, which damage the opponent and give him a charge on contact. These charges can be used to power up his attacks, most interesting of which is the jamming bomb that seeks out your opponents and alters their controls. Light on combo potential, MODOK relies heavily on filling the battlefield with a veritable minefield of projectiles to keep opponents at bay. His shield will protect him from anything less than a super, and staying familiar with your location relative to it is vital when opponents are trying to get behind you. However, locking down foes between you and the shield (which they cannot pass though) can lead to some big damage or an easy throw.
Nathan Spencer
The unfortunately redesigned bionic commando, Nathan "Rad" Spencer is a deadly grapple artist from any range. He is a bit slower than most, and he doesn't get as much air on a jump, but he makes up for this with his trusty bionic arm--which allows him to swing across the top of the screen or reel himself to the side or bottom. Spencer can also grab hold of opponents from virtually anywhere on the screen and follow up in one of four ways: performing a quick hit, lunging so as to send them bouncing off the wall (great combo potential), pulling them up to Spencer, or pulling Spencer up to them. If Spencer is being hammered in melee, his armor piercer (a powerful direct melee attack) comes out fast and can interrupt an overaggressive foe. His Achilles' heel, however, lies in the smaller characters whose tiny hit boxes make them tricky to grab.
The Hulk's female counterpart is quite a bit different from most other characters on the roster because she not only lacks distinct projectile attacks but her move set is also largely based on wrestling--think R. Mika from the Street Fighter Alpha series or El Fuerte from Street Fighter IV. As such, she's been equipped with a dash move that you can either execute by itself (which puts her into a track run position) or by holding right (or left, depending on orientation) on the controller after performing one of her special attacks. This lets her stay within close proximity to use her somersault kick, clothesline, or an assortment of combos. She-Hulk also has a heavy strike move where she lunges and cracks an opponent's head on her knee, instantly dizzying him or her. If it connects, this opens up a number of other options for her.
Spidey hasn't changed that much since Marvel vs. Capcom 2. He's still one of the quickest characters in the game and has a nice mix of projectiles to deal with an assortment of attacks in the form of the webthrow. His web-ball still momentarily encases foes in a mound of webbing, creating time to launch a combo on a defenseless opponent. His webswing is also useful for closing the gap on foes, more so after a super jump than off the ground. His maximum spider super is great for catching opponents off guard in some situations, and his ground-based crawler assault super can be easily chained into other combos.
Storm is a tricky character who relies heavily on prediction and timing to keep her enemies in check. Both of her main ranged attacks--the whirlwind and typhoon--can take up to a full second or two, depending on strength, to fire off. To use them effectively, you'll have to be able to predict your foe's next move and, in many cases, use your assists to provide cover as you charge. Flight and an eight-way dash attack (somewhat similar to Hulk's gamma charge) give her the mobility you'll need to get into position for your next assault. And because most of Storm's normal attacks produce some miniature force of nature, she is able to effectively control a lot of space.
Tron Bonne
Another returning character, Tron Bonne might seem a bit unorthodox at first, but she has a number of useful attacks at her disposal. Of course, she also makes extensive use of her servbot companions, both in her supers, as well as her beacon bomb attack. If this attack connects, two servbots will temporarily hold an opponent in place. Her little helpers also come into play in her servbot launcher attack, which can be used as an antiair skill, but it won't do much as a primary projectile. Tron's best projectile attack is her rock throw where she can pick up boulders from the ground and throw them in rapid succession, but she can also hold before releasing. She also has a pretty useful dashing punch attack and a command throw that picks enemies up and then drags them across the ground in a circle.
Fighting a good Wesker player can be an absolutely soul-crushing experience. With good stamina, strong normals, and a heavy focus on mind games and counterattacks, Wesker excels at crushing unsuspecting players. His forward plus heavy attack draws his quick-hitting sidearm, which he can then follow up with a teleport hit and combo. His various counterattack moves, including a counter super, allow him to punish any type of assault, such as projectiles. And his other super, phantom dance, can connect quickly from anywhere on the screen and makes for a great follow-up to a chain of supers. Quick and fierce, Wesker is an unrelenting beast who can easily turn the tide on any assault in the right hands.
Because she brandishes the same adamantium claws, you might think X-23 is a Wolverine clone, but she kind of isn't. In fact, we might go so far as to say that her move set (aside from her supers) has created a more deliberate, less-spastic version of Wolverine. She has quite a few dashing attacks that can hit low or high, as well as one aerial dash move. Additionally, X-23 has a skill that lets her jump immediately behind an opponent, creating opportunities for some cross-up combos. She also has a really nice command throw that she can execute from a distance, which has her leaping backward before launching toward her opponent's shoulders to perform the throw.
The hero from the Mega Man universe is incredibly fun to use. His standard plasma sword attack is easy to combo, particularly when it's topped off with his dragon-punch-like special move. Zero also has two useful projectile attacks. One involves his sword and can come out at three different speeds, depending on the button used, but he also has a buster shot that he can charge and hold while using other attacks. His aerial dash attack is quite fast and can easily catch opponents off guard as well. Because Zero's standard attacks can be so powerful, it's not surprising that one of his supers (sougenmu) casts a shadow version of the character, allowing for twice the number of hits.
That does it for our look at the recently added playable characters. Be sure to stay tuned to GameSpot as we'll have a much more on Marvel vs. Capcom 3, including an upcoming tournament.

What an amazing half-day trip from Taipei! I was part of a small group and was really able to enjoy the trip and spent good time on each stop. The view of Keelung from the monastery was great! The highlight of the trip were the incredible rock formations at Yehliu Geopark and in spite of the tremendous number of tourists at the time, the trip was well worth it! The coastline views were spectacular! A tour not to be missed,

Good day trip. Not too rushed but was hoping for more time at some places. Overall, good but would have loved for the places to be opened though. Some were closed because of natural events. Nevertheless, still highly recommended.

Fantasic tour, well worth the price. I'd definitely recommend this day trip to anyone touring Taipei. The tour is run by a local agency, Edison. They pick you up at your designated hotel at 6am, they take care of your flight there, lunch (which was quite good), scenic train ride back, and drop you off back at the hotel 7:30pm. Our tour guide Josephine was alot of fun, mixing humor with info. I love her "rule breaking" attitude. The only minor complaint I have is that the tour felt a little rushed; wish we could spend another 30 mins at the gorge and 30 mins less at the marble factory. Ending the tour at the beach was quite nice as well. I went in mid Nov, and even though it rained for a part of the day, the scenery was absolutely breath-taking regardless.

As everyone already says some parts are a little rushed and the marble factory could be excluded, but for what it is I really enjoyed it. For a day trip it is worth the money, and if it is the only way for you to see the Taroko Gorge, you should do it. It would be hard to screw up any trip to the gorge, it is beautiful.

Well organised tour. Relaxing day out. Flying down to Hualien helped cut down travelling time and therefore maximised time spent at taroko gorge. Perhaps less time spent for morning tea and at the marble factory would allow more leisurely stroll to the eternal spring shrine. An enjoyable and hassle-free day trip to see the Taroko Gorge nevertheless.

Beautiful gorge! Good day trip. Bad sales attempt of jade items by bus operator. We were led into his shop and had to go through sales discussions.

It was okay, nothing spectacular. The guide seemed helpful enough but I felt like there was a lot left to be desired. Perhaps because it was only a half day trip, also i don't particularly like looking in shops that sell the same things. Some highlights would be the food at the market and that its quite picturesque at some points.

The full day trip is definitely worth doing, as there is not alot of 'attractions' in Taipei. It is a whole day out, starting from around 6am until 7.30pm. The Gorge is amazing, but i felt we did not get enough time to actually take in the beauty as we were moved from one spot to the next. I would have preferred more walking and hiking, than a quick picture before we moved on! Cut out the time-filling marble factory and sweet shop and you would probably have the right amount of time at the gorge itself. Also i was annoyed that i purchased this tour from Viator and the next week it was discounted by 25%.
Doing what: Taroko Gorge Full-Day Tour from Taipei
The gorge is beautiful and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, however I would much prefer to spend more time actually looking at the gorge and way less time stopping in at cafe's and gift shops. I guess if you are making all of the effort to do a day trip to the gorge, you would expect to spend more time being able to look at it and explore. We got stuck in by a rockfall which was exciting and thankfully had the added advantage of cutting our trip to the marble factory short and took the stop in at the last cake shop off the itinerary altogether. The marble factory is an unnecessary "extra" to the trip.
The lunch was amazing!
All in all, I think if I was to go back to the gorge I would hire a car and do it myself, but if you are short on time, this is a good option. Just expect to spend an equal amount of time (or more) looking at shops, cafe's etc as you do looking at the gorge.
Doing what: Taroko Gorge Full-Day Tour from Taipei
My colleague and I have booked the trip to see some of Hualiens`s beautiful nature and locations during a short day trip.
Pro`s: Taroko`s and Hualien`s nature, get a first impression of aborigine lifestyle. To see the landscape it is definitely worth to do this trip.
Con`s: However the tour became more and more unpleasant, as we noticed that it was actually a guided shopping trip. Stopping at a few little cafes (including souvenir shop) was totally ok for us. But we did not like it, that for example the announcement of a "free piece of sticky rice cake (Mochi)" was not a lesson about local food, but just another stop at a store where you just were allowed to try a tiny piece in order to buy several whole packages. Only a shop, no info at all. Same was for the marble "factory". Here you did not see the preparation of marble jewellery or statues, but a huge show room for overpriced marble products. Coincident, that just when we arrived about 8-10 shop assistents were rushing to make us buy some stuff? One small bracelet of jade 350 Euros, btw. "Stroll at the beach" means stop at a stone beach for about 10min. People who are looking forward to see the sea will be disappointed, as it is just enough time to hurry to the water to take a quick picture. The aborigine food was good (except a very bitter soup), but the portion was quite small. Better take some sandwich with you.
As a summary most of the time we spent at locations, where you can buy something. Usually there you can do hardly anything else. If you are non-Chinese or non-Japanese, you won`t get much info about aborigine life or marble producing. While the Chinese shop assistants are talking and explaining all the time, the tour guide will drop some word occasionally; she is a nice person though.
The way back by train was really exhausting, as it takes ages to get back to TPE City, because the train is so slow.
I saw that most of the visitors gave a very positive feedback, however my colleague and me felt cheated from some point. If you spend already money for an all-inclusive trip, you also want some cultural information and not spend money at every stop.
Doing what: Taroko Gorge Full-Day Tour from Taipei
on my day trip, there was typhoon happening 1 day before. it means you know the damage and that we can not enter the Taroko. instead of telling us the truth, you let us spend a whole day there with the stupid things. We chose this tour just only we want to go inside the Taroko. Really disappointed,

Clouds away
Question: During the BBC broadcast of the total eclipse in August 1999, the astronomer Patrick Moore remarked that when it was overcast, the clouds often cleared at the time of totality. I observed this at the Lizard in south Cornwall-breaks in the clouds appeared just as the Sun disappeared behind the Moon. What is the explanation?
Answer: There is a simple explanation for the clearing of cloud at totality. This effect is usually noticed only with cumulus clouds. Most cumulus clouds form by convection, when warm, moist air rises and cools.
As you will have noticed, even with the Sun only half obscured, there was a dramatic fall in temperature because of the drop in light levels. And when the heating of the air slows down, so does the convection. Hence the cumulus clouds fade away.

Strange tail
Question: Why have rats got long tails?
Answer: Rats use their tails to balance and also to help maintain body temperature. The rat has specialised blood vessels which control the amount of blood flowing to its tail. Blood flowing into the furless skin of the tail carries heat which is then radiated out of the body.
The rat can direct anywhere between 0.1 and 10 per cent of its cardiac output to the tail. Under ideal conditions, it can get rid of up to 20 per cent of the its metabolic heat in this way. Conversely, restricting blood flow to the tail reduces heat loss in cold weather.
It is interesting to note that the length of the rat's tail is partly determined by the temperature of the environment in which it is raised.
Radiating heat through the skin plays a major part in regulating body temperature in humans as well.
Joseph Rathner
University of Iowa
Answer: Observing my three rats suggests that the long tail-usually around the same length as the body-is used for balancing. Although rats cannot grasp objects with their tails, they do seem able to control the muscles along the tail's length with considerable precision.
If a rat is running along a narrow surface such as a rope, the tail constantly flicks from side to side to steady them, in the same way tightrope walkers at the circus use a pole to help them stay on the wire. A cat walking along a fence does the same thing with its tail.
When my rats are eating, they perch on the edge of the food bowl, which is about 20 centimetres from the floor of the cage, grasping it with their back paws and eating with their front paws. In this position their rear ends stick out quite a long way over the side of the bowl so that it looks as if they should fall off backwards. They manage to stay balanced by curling their tails under the bowl. This moves the rat's centre of gravity underneath its back paws, keeping it balanced.
The rat's centre of gravity is lower too, so the rat is more stable and less likely to fall.
As an experiment, I moved the food bowl to about 10 centimetres above the floor of the cage, which is about the length of a rat's tail.
Now, instead of curling their tails under the bowl when they are feeding, the rats stiffen their tails and point them straight down so that they touch the floor, propping themselves up with this "third leg".

Question: I am endowed with a large bust and consequently always have to wear a bra for support. If I was flying in space in a zero-gravity environment, would I no longer require my undergarment? And, if not, what shape would my breasts assume? So many female astronauts have gone into space that I feel sure there is an answer.
Answer: Your correspondent would not need a bra in zero gravity. She can experience for herself the shape her breasts would assume by swimming braless.
Breast tissue has an almost neutral buoyancy in water, and the shape of the breasts would be controlled by tissue elasticity and blood pressure.
If she was occupied with something diverting while in space, which one hopes she would be, she would probably be unaware of her breasts. But whenever she pushed herself off the walls of the spacecraft to move about, the breasts would wobble and brush against clothing. Because light friction can be more distracting than firm contact, she might find a bra desirable in such a situation.
Of course, during blast-off and re-entry, gravity would certainly play a part. . .
Michael Bell
Answer: Your correspondent's breasts would not weigh anything in space but they would still have mass and momentum. It would feel similar to swimming in water without a costume.
If they are large breasts, then this could prove to be disconcerting both for you and your fellow astronauts.

Thank you for publishing Marine Capt. Timothy Kudo's column on the morality of his engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan ("Dealing with ethical damage of war," op-ed, Jan. 29). He has enough deployments to be a subject matter expert.
I was actively engaged in Vietnam and Desert Storm. My son was engaged in Desert Storm and two tours in Iraq, including the invasion at the "tip of the spear." His first Christmas after this was back at his base in Germany. He was suicidal.
I am privileged to have a military son who found it easy enough to confess these feelings to me, probably because of my experience. I said, "Uh-oh" and hopped on to the first C-17 to Germany and just hung out with him for two weeks. He will retire soon from the Army. I am grateful we got this far.
Capt. Kudo's concern for the morality of our actions are very good. Ineffective rules of engagement can be added to his list. Civilians should not place him in an anti-war persona just because he is writing in his hopes the next war will be less likely.
Instead, let's help him with our votes. In this recent election we sent a president back to the White House who talks a good game, but the next war can be seen growing in North Africa. Your son or daughter can become the next Capt. Kudo. If you really want to prevent that, petition the government to spread the "fairness" around. Taxing the rich might make us feel good, but it does not stop the Ivy League Mafia from abusing our children, both by taxing their futures and spilling their blood while bringing their own children to Washington, D.C., and setting them up in safe, dry lobby jobs that pay millions.
Real "fairness" calls for the children of the Ivy League Mafia to be on the battlefield, elbow to elbow with ours. Then, I am sure, the wars "magically" will disappear.

I liked Zak S.'s blog post detailing how he evaluates a city supplement:
I've gone through some old posts of mine and tagged them short (see link at the bottom). Short is beautiful.
I think the beauty of the One Page Dungeon Contest was that it showed me an alternative to the huge adventure books and adventure paths. These adventures are short. One look and you know where the party is and what ever else is there with them.
Sure, I still play in a Legacy of Fire campaign, and I still run Rise of the Runelords. But as I've said before, "whenever the party does something I don't know by heart, I start fumbling through the book."
I can see that a city supplement scoring high using Zak's method would appeal to me.
Way back I bought Ptolus. It's still there, on my bookshelf. I opened it twice, I think. It's just so damn big, I don't know where to start.

With coking coal demand stagnating in China, India, South Korea and Japan, contract and spot market prices are nudging companies closer to production cost barriers.
Demand for coking coal from all four Asian industrial titans saw support in the first half of the year after China's government boosted spending in late 2011 and returning Japanese steel production helped to offset slagging European demand for steel-producing coal.
But the big four Asian economies have seen economic growth fall in the second quarter of this year, with China's economic growth in Q2 falling below 8 percent for the first time since the 2008-09 economic crisis.
Hopes that China's most recent round of economic stimulus — US$150 billion in infrastructure spending was announced last week — will create support for sliding imports of coal are premature, Reuters reported, because domestic prices remain low and inventories of high-priced coal still need to be consumed.
"The Chinese look to be reducing their rate of demand for steel and they are overstocked, so it's certainly likely that growth in demand for steel will be near zero in the next few months," Peter Fish, managing director at UK steel consultancy Meps, told Reuters.
As spending stabilizes and producers look to renewed coal supply contracts to help cover growing production costs in a number of key regions, the strong coal imports witnessed in the first half of the year are not expected to continue in China.
Benchmark coking coal prices dive
Price negotiations are currently underway for coking coal contracts between Australian suppliers and Japanese steel mills, which traditionally set the benchmark price for met coal. The initial figures coming out of talks for December delivery illustrate just how far prices have fallen.
Bloomberg reported that prices could settle around the US$175/ton mark, 25 percent below contracts signed three months earlier.
Contract coking coal prices have maintained a premium of $10 to $20 over spot prices, indicating some hope. However, the previous contract price of $225/ton is said to have been inflated due to supply disruptions coming out of the Australian basin.
Low-volatility coking coal, such as semi-soft and pulverised coal injection, has also fallen, leading many producers to believe that market prices in the coming months may be unable to cover production costs.
Queensland raises coal royalties, companies announce cuts
The government in Queensland, Australia's main coking-coal-producing state, did not do itself any favors after it announced this week that it will raise coal royalties between 10 and 15 percent. That drew the ire of Australian miner BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BLT) and local iron ore mining magnate Clive Palmer.
BHP criticized the increase earlier this week, just as it announced that it plans to halt production at its Gregory coal mine on October 10 in response to high costs, the staggering economic environment and rising operational costs.
"We made it clear to the Queensland Government that in the current environment any additional taxation impost will directly impact the profitability of our current operations and will affect business decisions on capital growth allocations in the State," BHP was quoted as saying in a Reuters article.
Xstrata (LSE:XTA) said this week that it will cut about 600 jobs at its coal operations in Australia, while Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) confirmed earlier this month that it has delayed its Codrilla mining project in Queensland. Peabody's project would have added up to 3 million metric tons of coal a year to the market.
So far this year, more than 10 million tonnes of US coking coal output has been cut due to costs and slumping demand.
Securities Disclosure: I, James Wellstead, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

MARION, Iowa - An outgoing Marion city councilor isn't leaving office quietly. He is using his final days to argue the town's mayor actually lives in Hiawatha.
Craig Adamson claims Mayor Allen "Snooks" Bouska is breaking Iowa code by living in a home in Hiawatha, 150 North 19th Ave, instead of his official address at 2040 Agate, in Marion.
Adamson was voted out of office earlier this month and brought up the residency issue during a recent city council meeting.
"What I am questioning is whether he lives in Marion or in Hiawatha," said Adamson.
Bouska's residency was also questioned when he first ran for mayor in 2011. Then, a city panel ruled Bouska's apartment qualified him to run. But now the issue is back, and it matters Adamson because Iowa law requires elected officials be residents of the towns they live in.
"Unfortunately, it's gotten to be a joke with a lot of people. And if I was the mayor, and he really does live in Hiawatha, I'd probably be laughing about it too," said Adamson. "I think it's time to clear this up before the next election cycle."
To get to the bottom of the issue, KCRG met with Mayor Bouska at his Marion property.
"This is the official mayor's residence in Marion, Iowa and this is where I live," said Bouska, standing in the front lawn.
But does he really? The mayor's owned the Agate property since January and said before that he rented apartments in Marion, all the while still owning the home in Hiawatha.
He's had the Hiawatha property for about 12 years, but you'd never know it looking at his driver's license, which lists the Marion address.
When KCRG asked to see the inside of the Marion property the Mayor only showed us the living room-- but it did hold some furniture, chairs, and a TV.
Mayor Bouska said the Hiawatha property was an investment and that he's in property management owning lots of homes in the area. Although, he said he splits his nights between Hiawatha and Marion.
"These are the only two houses that I would spend the night, if I had to," said Bouska. "I'd say that it's probably 70% in Marion. The only time I'm in Hiawatha is when I have to go home and feed the dog."
KCRG asked state officials whether the Marion mayor was breaking any rules and it sounded like he isn't. Election experts said to be a resident, a person like the mayor only has to have the intent to live in a home-- and intent is almost impossible to define.
"That's a fact based question that has to be asked of the individual," said Iowa Director of Elections Sarah Reisetter. "A person's intention is truly their own."
So by that definition, Marion's mayor meets the law.
"I'm a resident. Put it to bed. It's a done deal," said Bouska.
Perhaps Adamson's concerns are just sour grapes, prompted by his recent ousting. KCRG asked, but Adamson said it was because he no longer has to work with the Mayor.
"When you are trying to work with somebody on a regular basis, you know you're trying not to rock the boat, because ultimately we're trying to do what's best for Marion when we're governing," said Adamson. "We're at a point now where you got to start calling people out. If you don't do that, all you are doing is encouraging additional bad behavior."
Adamson said, for now, he isn't pursuing the residency issue with any higher authorities, just raising the question. And he said if he's wrong he'll quietly let it go.
State officials said there is a way for citizens to challenge an elected official's residency. Twenty-five registered voters would need to file a petition. Then, the city council would hold a public hearing to determine if the elected official is a resident and whether or not they can hold office.

The New Nokia Asha 310 Gets Introduced to the Masses
Nokia debuts the new Asha 310 S40 Dual-Sim Wi-Fi enabled handset. Nokia has been on a run with their latest in Windows Phone devices. As the world holds its breath to see what the company will unveil at this year's MWC a new handset from the company is announced. In the latter months of 2011 Nokia announced a set of handset that were not WP indoctrinated. The Asha line was introduced in some excellent color options and in a few different form factors. After steady improvements to the lineup we now have around fifteen different Asha models. A new model however has been introduced today; the Asha 310 is set to be the successor to the Asha 308 and 309 models.
Nokia turned their back on a solid operating system, Symbian to focus on Windows Phone devices. The company however did not give up on their Series 30 and now Series 40 software. Nokia S40 devices have sold over 1.5 billion handsets worldwide and the Asha 310 is set to continue the trend. The Asha 310 is set to join the S40 ranks and cost you about $102 bucks! Pretty sweet price point, but what can we expect? Nokia's Asha 308 and 309 were approved as "smartphones" back in 2012. The Asha 310 starts with a 3 inch LCD touch screen that offers up a 400×240 pixel resolution at 155 pixels per inch. It comes with an 1110 mAh battery that should yield you about 17 hours of talk time and 25 days of standby time. Processing details are unfortunately not listed however the Asha 310 is set to pack in 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of ROM alongside expandable microSDHC memory up to 32 GB.

Full text not available from this repository.
Two kinds of filtered networks: minimum spanning trees (MSTs) and planar maximally filtered graphs (PMFGs) are constructed from dynamical correlations computed over a moving window. We study the evolution over time of both hierarchical and topological properties of these graphs in relation to market fluctuations. We verify that the dynamical PMFG preserves the same hierarchical structure as the dynamical MST, providing in addition a more significant and richer structure, a stronger robustness and dynamical stability. Central and peripheral stocks are differentiated by using a combination of different topological measures. We find stocks well connected and central; stocks well connected but peripheral; stocks poorly connected but central; stocks poorly connected and peripheral. It results that the Financial sector plays a central role in the entire system. The robustness, stability and persistence of these findings are verified by changing the time window and by performing the computations on different time periods. We discuss these results and the economic meaning of this hierarchical positioning.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, right, speaks with Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi during a Cabinet meeting at the Grand Serail in Beirut, Wednesday, July 11, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Prime Minister Najib Mikati said he was exerting all efforts to resolve issues facing his government, including the threatened boycott by the Union Coordination Committee, in comments published Saturday.
"I am keen on [safeguarding] the country. From this basis I carry out my work and exert my efforts in all matters and I say that anyone who has answers to all these matters should come forward and present them," Mikati told As-Safir newspaper in response to a question about possible sit-ins.
Teachers threatened Friday to resume a boycott of marking official grade 9 and 12 exams next week after Cabinet failed to keep a promise to increase the salaries of public sector employees in the 2012 draft budget it passed earlier this week.
The Union Coordination Committee, a coalition of private and public school teachers and public sector employees, called on its constituencies to stage a one-day strike Tuesday which would include sit-ins near ministries and other state buildings.
The announcement came during a UCC news conference Friday at an exam correction center in the Beirut suburbs of Bir Hasan, where teachers stopped correcting in protest of low wages between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.
Hanna Gharib, the head of the Secondary Teachers Association, challenged Prime Minister Najib Mikati about his promise to pass a salary scale that would give teachers and other public sector employees the raise private sector received in January. Teachers would receive some additional benefits as part of the salary scale.
Speaking of their agreement to pass the salary scale in June and implement it beginning July 1, Gharib addressed the Prime Minister: "June is over and July is almost over and you have yet to fulfill your promise, you took the salary scale out of the draft budget, contrary to what you promised."
The Cabinet passed the 2012 draft budget earlier this week without including the salary scale.
It is currently being studied by a ministerial committee that includes the education, economy, and finance ministers. Gharib complained that the UCC has not yet been invited to the committee's Monday meeting.
Teachers ended a boycott of marking exams earlier this month after receiving promises from the main blocs in the Cabinet that the committee and the Cabinet would pass the scale this week.
In line with UCC's call, the League of Public Administration employees called on members to strike Tuesday and gather near their ministries and state buildings.
Economy Minister Nicolas Nahhas has said the salary scale shouldn't be taken lightly and that the main priority should be to balance the state budget.

Hundreds of websites have been found to contain bizarre new words thanks to an email security filter used by US internet company Yahoo!.
The company's security filter automatically deletes web code that could be used by hackers and replaces it with innocuous words. For example, "eval" is converted to "review", "mocha" is changed into "espresso" and "expression" replaced with "statement". The substitutions are made even if the phrase appears within a word.
The phrases are blacklisted because they could be used to embed potentially dangerous code into an email message written in HTML. This code could trick a target computer into handing over files that might include sensitive information such as usernames and passwords.
But as well as protecting Yahoo! users, this has led to the widespread appearance of mystery words. The UK internet site NTK recently found that 640 different web sites contain the word "medireview", in place of "medieval".
These include historical sites, book reviews, other articles and CVs. Some people have posted questions to mailing lists asking where this new word came from.
Hiding code in email written in HTML or a web page is called cross-site scripting, and was first identified in 1997. Following the identification of numerous malicious tricks involving the technique, the US Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) issued an alert to web sites in February 2000. Yahoo's email filter was first noticed by computer users in March 2001.

What was touted as the first banking Trojan to attack all major Linux distributions so far isn't as lethal as was predicted. The so-called Hand of Thief, or HoT, malware kit that recently hit the underground currently has little or no "grabbing" capabilities, according to new research.
The HoT malware kit came on the underground Russian cybercrime market in late July, selling for $2,000, including free updates. The first iteration was touted to include form grabbers and backdoors, and claims to run on 15 different Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian. But researchers at RSA's FraudAction team recently obtained and tested HoT binaries and its builder and found its features aren't so hot after all.
"Our research and analysis shows that, in reality, HoT's grabbing abilities are very limited, if not absent, which would make the malware a prototype that needs a lot more work before it can be considered a commercially viable banking Trojan," says Yotam Gottesman, senior security researcher for RSA FraudAction Research Labs.
The Trojan -- which has not yet been detected in any attacks at this time -- includes a builder, a Windows executable that allows a botmaster to generate new variants of the malware on-demand.
"In his sales adverts, Hand of Thief's developer explained that he is in the final stages of implementing the web-injection mechanism for the malware. Researching the Trojan proved that no injections are currently in place, but the preparation for such a mechanism is," Gottesman says in a blog post today about the research.
RSA tested the Trojan and found it could indeed inject itself into a browser process, but, in most cases, froze or crashed the browser. "When using Firefox on the infected machine, HoT captured only empty requests with no information being delivered to the drop server. When browsing with Google Chrome, HoT did manage to capture some requests and relay them to its server," Gottesman says.
But the Trojan had no way to filter information, so it would capture all requests from the browser in a generic manner, which would clog the drop server with "useless data," according to RSA.
RSA says HoT's developer doesn't offer a recommended method of infection besides email or social engineering tactics. But it does come with some anti-virtual machine functions to deter researchers, RSA found. It also employs packing to avoid detection. "Beyond using a packer and string obfuscation, it appears that HoT's developer invested in additional anti-research functions, one of which is Anti-Virtual Machines," Gottesman says.
The bottom line is HoT is more of a work in progress than a commercial tool as yet. "Although it initially appeared to be a compelling new Trojan entrant, RSA's in-depth analysis of the code proves it is a prototype more than true commercially viable malware, crashing the browsers on the infected machines and displaying overall inability to properly grab data," Gottesman says.
It's also easy to eradicate. "Furthermore, HoT can also be easily removed from the machine by deleting the files dropped during the HoT installation process," he says.

Children in foster care are taking psychotropic drugs at a rate much higher than non-foster children in Medicaid. According to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO,) children in foster care in five U.S. states are taking powerful mind-altering drugs at a rate two to almost five times higher than non-foster children. Over medicating children with powerful drugs may alter their quality of life and psychological development.
The investigation by the GAO was prompted by a request from both Republican and Democratic United States senators, led by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), concerned by numerous reports of waste and abuse in treating foster children with psychiatric medications.
Although all children can be affected by over medication, foster children are particularly vulnerable, since they lack the family and social support that other children usually have.
In addition, they tend to have more serious medical and mental health conditions than children in different situations.
The GAO report analyzed the situation of 609 foster children and 1,100 non-foster children in Oregon, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan and Texas, and found that at least one-third of foster children were prescribed one or more psychiatric drugs. The cost of this policy is staggering: the five states in the study spent $375 million for psychotropic prescriptions for children covered by Medicaid, $200 million of which was spent in Texas alone.
Anti-psychotic drugs are used as chemical restraints on foster children.
As indicated in the report, although hundreds of children—both foster and non-foster—were given five and in some cases even more medications, there is no evidence that such a medication regime can really benefit the children but can, instead, give rise to serious side effects. In addition, thousands of infants under 1 year old were given psychotropic drugs which could have serious adverse effects such as metabolic and cardiovascular problems.
Even though the actual percentages of children receiving several psychiatric drugs at the same time were relatively low in the five states analyzed, the chances of this happening among foster children are a cause for concern. In Texas, for example, foster children were 53 times more likely to be given five—and sometimes more—psychiatric medications at the same time than non-foster children.
The GAO report also found that almost 4,000 foster and non-foster care infants under a year old who were on Medicaid were taking those drugs. In addition, foster children were nine times more likely than non-foster children to be given medications for which there was no FDA-recommended dose for their age, according to an investigation carried out by Rutgers University among 300,000 children in 16 states.
Among the so-called psychotropic drugs are medications such as anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, antipsychotic, and mood stabilizing drugs that act by altering chemical levels in the brain, and as a result provoke altered mood and behavior. Among those medications, antipsychotics are the most prescribed psychiatric medications, particularly among foster children on whom they are used as chemical restraints.
Although psychotropic drugs have proven to be effective in treating a variety of mental disorders and have been approved for use in adults by the Food and Drug Administration, they have not necessarily been approved for use in children of all ages. The report found that thousands of foster and non-foster children were given high doses of medications with potentially serious side effects.
Antipsychotic medications may cause tremors, muscle spasms, restlessness, and tardive dyskinesia, a serious condition in which patients have involuntary movements of the tongue, lips, and arms and legs. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, each year 5 percent of people on antipsychotics will develop tardive dyskinesia.
Elizabeth J. Roberts, a psychiatrist in California wrote, "Using such diagnostics as bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Asperger's, doctors are justifying the sedation of difficult kids with powerful psychiatric drugs that may have serious, permanent or even lethal side effects."A critical recommendation of the GAO report is that HHS considers endorsing guidance for states on best practices for overseeing the prescription of these drugs to all, but particularly to foster children. Unless stricter procedures are followed, the quality of life and health of thousands of children will continue to be negatively affected.
Dr. César Chelala is an international public health consultant.

Riverside County and San Bernardino County to the north form this metro area. Like many such metro areas in the Southwest, it extends far into uninhabited desert areas, in this case east through the Mojave Desert to the Nevada/Arizona border. Larger than nine U.S. states, it is often referred to as the Inland Empire. Cities in the western portion, including Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and a patchwork of other communities, are developed suburbs of the Los Angeles area with a rapidly growing and increasingly self-sufficient economy.
Suburbs along the I-10 corridor, including Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana and Colton tend to be more commercial, while others off the main roads and against the area's many mountain ranges, like Loma Linda, Chino Hills and many parts of Riverside are more residential. Ontario is also the site of one of the LA area's best airports with considerable discount air service. Old mansions, public buildings, and packing sheds serve as evidence of the orange-growing industry that once dominated the area, but these have been long since surrounded by housing developments, industrial parks, and commercial/retail centers. Farther east through a mountain gap lie the resort communities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert.
Today the main economic activities include a host of diversified light manufacturing, international trade and offices of overseas companies. Although rising rapidly, costs of living and housing remain relatively affordable for comparable areas in Los Angeles and Southern California. The area is now facing many of the same issues confronting Los Angeles as a whole- overcrowding, sprawl, poor air quality, and long freeway commutes. Bottom line: this area offers many Southern California advantages while bringing the negatives in somewhat smaller doses.
The area is semiarid to arid with dry valleys surrounded by desert mountain ranges. Most of the valley floor to the west is developed. Moving east, coastal grasses and brush give way to desert foliage, including brush, creosote bush, and cactus. The climate varies by altitude and distance from the Pacific Ocean. Summers are warm in the western portion of the counties to extremely hot and dry eastward. Evenings, consistent with the desert climate and with some marine cooling, are comfortable. Winters are mild and mostly dry, but most annual precipitation, including rainy spells, occurs during this season. There are a few days each winter with below-freezing temperatures, but many winters are frost-free. Snow is rare but can occur.
As of 2014, Ontario's population is 165,260 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 5.44 percent.
The median home cost in Ontario is $291,500. Home appreciation the last year has been 22.50 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Ontario's cost of living is 27.30% Higher than the U.S. average.
Ontario public schools spend $10,083 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 22.9 students per teacher in Ontario.
The unemployment rate in Ontario is 8.90 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Ontario jobs have Increased by 1.17 percent.

Longmont Candidate information:
Who will uphold and support the Longmont Ban on Fracking in City Limits?
Polly Christensen
"The city should stand firm in defending the decisive 60/40 citizen vote of a modest ban on no fracking inside the city limits. Longmont's city charter grants us home-rule status, and these suits are a direct attack on our home-rule status. The residents of Longmont have a right to protect the health of ourselves and our children, conserve our water, and protect our property values within the limits of our city."
Jeff Moore
"Unfortunately this issue is about money, without regard to local control and land use policy within planning areas of affected cities. The health, safety and quality of life impacts from drilling and fracking are risks the citizens of Longmont should not have to live with. The city needs to continue to vigorously defend against the lawsuits and look out for the best interest of its citizens, not the oil and gas companies. The City Council needs to defend our rights as a home rule municipality and exercise local control to protect our citizens from the many hazards associated with fracking."
Remember the "7 former mayors" ad campaign? Need we say more? Bryan Baum came out vocally against the citizen's initiative even going so far as to put his name and photo on the industry funded campaign. Bryan Baum was and is against the citizens on this one and is holding fast to his stance.
On Tuesday, November 6th, 2012, 60% of Longmont voters passed a prohibition on hydraulic fracturing (and the wastes associated with it) in Longmont city limits. Read more at www.ourlongmont.org.

Radio stations could soon play havoc with the home Internet connections used by millions of people, says SBC Technology Resources of Austin, Texas. ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) connections turn ordinary phone lines into broadband links by dividing the line into 256 channels that can all carry data. But the phone line also acts as a receiver for AM radio, which can interfere with data being sent along it.
At today's data speeds of around 1 megabit per second, computer software can correct the errors. But when speeds increase to eight times today's rate, as expected, the errors will become much worse. SBC says its automatic filter will track the frequency of offending local AM broadcasts and switch off any ADSL channels at risk (W0 02054693). This only slightly slows the overall data rate, it says, but keeps the signal error-free.
