Stockholm proved a happy hunting ground for the New Zealanders yesterday as Andrea Hewitt and Nicky Samuels won silver and bronze in the latest round of the world triathlon series, results that propel both athletes into the world's top 10.
The sprint distance race was won by Sarah Groff, a first victory for the American that moves her to second in the overall world rankings behind countrywoman Gwen Jorgensen.
It was Hewitt's first world series podium in three years and the Christchurch athlete looks in strong shape at the business end of the season as she moves to fifth on the world rankings.
"I was so happy, three years since my last podium - that is a lot of time," Hewitt said.
"Today was so hard, I just kept pushing and pushing and that sprint at the end up the hill was so tough. It was ideal for the Kiwis, we got out of the swim in the front group and we just kept pushing and pushing and our group was working really well together, we kept putting time into the second group and then on to the run, it was tough. We were only 10 in that front group at the end so there weren't many of us and we kept working to get that time going into the run."
It was Samuels' career best performance in a world series event and a first podium that propels the Wanaka athlete to ninth on the world rankings ahead of next weekend's grand final in Edmonton.
"This sort of course really suits us, the crisp cold water that sort of pains the face and then the rain on the bike and a tough run," Samuels said.
"I am coming into great shape now which is good timing especially with the world series final next weekend so hopefully I can hold it together for that. Not often you get two Kiwis on the podium so yeah, it was a really good day."
Simone Ackermann (Whangarei) finished 19th on the back of a strong sub 17 minute run over the 5km distance and Rebecca Clarke (Auckland) finished 28th.
In the men's race Tony Dodds (Wanaka) had his final hit out before Edmonton with a 14th placing while 19-year-old Sam Ward (Auckland) came home in 37th

Last week Kepler-452b's discovery was met with resounding excitement. The human race met its very first planet orbiting a star in the habitable zone.
In a clue to possibility of life below the surface of Mars, a team of researchers has discovered traces of methane in Martian meteorites.
According to NASA, Dawn spacecraft is now using its ion engine to move closer to the dwarf planet in its bid to map the planet and collecting data.
Using NASA's planet-hunting space telescope, called Kepler, a team announced today that Kepler 452b is the most Earth-like planet every discovered in history.
Using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, researchers have found hundreds of planets, which are the size of Neptune or smaller.
Scientists think that there is probability that other planets have life. This is because life originated spontaneously through chemistry.
Known as Kepler 452b, the planet was detected by the US space agency's Kepler Space Telescope, which has been hunting for other worlds.
Pope Francis demanded swift action on Thursday to save the planet from environmental ruin, urging world leaders to hear "the cry of the earth & the poor."

Palestinians to seek observer status at UN
Ramallah (West Bank): A top Palestinian official says the Palestinians will ask the UN General Assembly to recognise Palestine as an observer state.
Saeb Erekat said today that the timing of the request will be decided next week by the Arab League.
The Palestinians seek a state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in 1967.
UN recognition is largely symbolic, since Israel continues to control these territories to varying degrees.
A nod from the world body would endorse the pre-1967 lines as the border of a future Palestinian state. Palestinians fear that border is being erased by Israeli settlement building.
The General Assembly can recognise Palestine only as an observer. A bid to win full UN membership was derailed by insufficient Security Council support last year.

Prince performed another surprise show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire last night (09.10.14) as he continues a run of secret gigs.
Prince performed another surprise show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire last night (09.10.14).
Celebrities including Cara Delevingne, Nick Grimshaw and Florence Welch danced along to the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker and his all-female band, 3RDEYEGIRL.
The gig followed a secret 'open sound-check' and two gigs in one night at the Electric Ballroom in north London last week, tickets for which were just £10 for fans who queued for hours in the rain to see the music legend.
Last night's concert was announced on BBC 6 Music by the singer's band and hundreds of fans started queuing outside the venue for tickets which were labelled as £70 and later brought down to £10 once gig-goers reached the doors at 7pm.
The singer performed new material with his band and launched into a medley of 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?', 'Purple Rain' and 'Do Me Baby', which went down a storm with the audience.
Prince is continuing his string of surprise London performances at a number of ''iconic venues'' in the city which are causing a buzz on social media.
He has hinted at his desire to play venues such as Ronnie Scott's and the Bag O' Nails Club in Soho - although details for future gigs are being kept under wraps.
Prince also described his trip to London as ''open-ended'' and told fans: ''We're gonna try and find somewhere else to play in this city. We'll stay as long as you'll have us.''

This application is a continuation-in-part of my application Ser. No. 175,766 filed Aug. 6, 1980, now abandoned.
An anchor generally comprises several elements including ground engaging means usually in the form of one or more planar or curvilinear surfaces usually termed the fluke or flukes. Various fluke shapes are shown in patents to Danforth U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,249,546 and 2,674,968, to Ogg U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,711,150, 2,840,029 and 3,024,756, to Bruce U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,777,695 and 4,134,356, to Towne U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,015,299 and 3,783,815 to van den Haak U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,902,446, 3,964,421 and 4,089,288, to Taylor U.S. Pat. No. 1,974,933 and to Klaren U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,090. The fluke or flukes can be solid as in the aforementioned patents or hollow as in the Lenox U.S. Pat. No. 709,914, the Danforth U.S. Pat. No. 2,249,546 and in the POOL anchor of N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Grofsmederij.
In association with the aforementioned fluke surfaces, means are provided to facilitate and maintain the proper engagement of the aforesaid fluke surfaces with the bottom. Such means are usually termed the crown, the latter serving initially to lift the after end of the anchor to force the aforementioned fluke surfaces into bottom engagement.
Extending forwardly from the crown and in advance of such surfaces for attachment to an engaged cable or chain is a socalled shank. Shanks used heretofore have usually been in the form of a heavy, solid rectilinear bar. Various authors have pointed out that, particularly in a harder soil such as sand, penetration of an achor into bottom is limited by the shank which slides over the bottom resisting penetration.
It has long been recognized that deep penetration into bottom is a prime factor in determining the efficiency of an anchor. If the anchor does not penetrate bottom, then the anchor structure merely slides across the bottom and the attempted anchoring is merely an exercise in futility.
To provide stability, one or more elements extending laterally from the fluke or flukes are provided to stabilize the entire anchor structure so that it does not rotate when subject to the pulling action applied to the shank by an attached rode. Such an element is frequently referred to as the stock.
The term "rode" is a nautical word of art commonly used to refer to the means (such as a rope, wire, chain, cable or the like) extended between a water supported object (such as a boat, ship, barge, drydock or the like) and a bottom engaging means such as an anchor, clump (U.S. Pat. No. 709,914) or the like.
It is in general the broad object of the present invention to provide an improved shank element for an anchor such that the holding power of the anchor structure is increased many fold over that of any anchor structure known heretofore.
The novel shank structure of this invention is such that its resistance to penetration is greatly reduced. It enables the entire anchor structure to penetrate more deeply into any bottom to provide higher holding power and this promptly upon the anchor structure engaging the bottom.
The shank is provided with a tip at one end for attachment to a rode and, at its other end, with a base for attachment to an anchor structure. The base and tip are provided at opposite end of an intermediate portion. The aforementioned three elements of the shank, the base, the tip and the intermediate portion are in axial alignment with one another when the shank is at rest. This axial alignment is referred to as the longitudinal axis of the shank.
The three elements, the tip, the base and the intermediate portion, are of such shape, flexibility and strength that the tip can be pulled by the rode into a position in which the tip attempts to follow and may, in fact, follow the direction of the pull of the rode. When the three elements providing the shank are so pulled by the rode, then the entire shank, in plan view, will be curved to a varying degree by (a) the pull of the rode and (b) the resistance of the anchor structure which is, at least momentarily, fixed in the bottom with which it is engaged. Depending upon the magnitude of the resistance by the bottom engaged by the anchor structure, the shank can be in any one of several curvilinear forms. Such curvilinear forms can vary from that (a) in which the shank, in response to the pull of the rode, has adopted a curved form like that of a flyrod under the stress imposed by a fish being played by the rod, (b) a position in which the forward portion of the shank corresponds to an arc of a circle, (c) any one of various arcuate configurations such as those of a parabolic character, and (d) the position imparted by burial in a very soft bottom such as a soft mud in which the shank is only bent to a slight extent. The shank of this invention is fully capable of movement to approximate any one of these postures by (1) the pull exerted by the rode and (2) the opposition to the pull which opposition is provided by the anchor structure in engagement with the bottom.
Such flexible shank provides several advantages. For example, when the anchor is first engaged with bottom, the flexible shank bends with respect to its longitudinal axis and allows the anchor to penetrate bottom even if it is not exactly following the direction of the pull exerted by the rode. Further, after the anchor has buried, if the anchor is pulled to one side as by the action of a shifting tide on a ship, the flexible shank curves in its attempt to follow the direction of the pull exerted by the rode. This is in contrast with prior art anchors having a stiff shank which, upon application of such a side thrust, upsets the anchor and dislodges the anchor from engagement with the bottom.
Thus, the anchor of the present invention has an improved shank which greatly increases the holding power of the anchor since the flexible shank does not ride over the bottom but, instead, buries in the bottom and assists the anchor structure in penetrating bottom. Further, being very flexible, the shank of the present invention flexes so that a force from the side does not immediately dislodge the anchor from engagement with the bottom. In addition, the shank is much stronger than the conventional shank which usually breaks or permanently deforms if subjected to an excessive force from the side.
To summarize what is important is that the shank is (1) of such flexibility and (2) of such strength that the shank can bend to the extent required to accommodate the extent that the pull exerted by the rode exceeds the resistance provided by the anchor structure of which the shank is a part. The concept of an anchor shank which is (1) of such flexibility and (2) of such strength as to permit of its bending by the excess of the pull of the rode over the static pressure of that portion of the anchor structure engaged with the bottom is absent from any prior teaching or any prior use.
Other features and objects of the invention will be as set forth in the following description of the best mode of practicing the invention.
Under the heading - Factors re Shank Design - two criterions which I have found important in providing a shank having the required strength and flexibility are set forth.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of one form of an anchor embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the anchor shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a view, partly in section, taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of another form of an anchor embodying the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a side elevation of the anchor shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a view, partly in section, taken along the line 6--6 of FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the Factors re Shank Design.
In FIGS. 1 through 3 an embodiment of an anchor is shown which includes flukes 10 and 11, shank 12, stock 13 and opposite crown plates 14 and 15. Intermediate portion 40 of the shank 12 (FIG. 2) tapers in side elevation between the base end 26 of the shank and its tip end 24. The flukes are secured in a co-planar relationship on either side of the shank 12, the latter having an eye 16 at its forward end for attachment to a rode such as is provided by any of the aforementioned means. The edges of the shank can be sharpened as at 28 and 29 to aid penetration by lowering the resistance to penetration and burial of the shank.
The flukes 10 and 11 have reinforcing ribs 18 and 19 formed on the flange edge nearest the shank. Each rib is secured to one of spacer plates 20 and 21 provided on each side of the shank. These confine the shank to its position on the stock 13 and support the crown plates 14 and 15. Each crown plate may be relieved as at 22 to permit the desired swing of the shank; the swing of the fluke or flukes is generally termed the fluke angle. In an anchor structure intended for use primarily in hard sand a favorable fluke angle is about 33°, while a favorable fluke angle for an anchor structure for use in soft mud is about 55°.
In that form of the invention shown in FIGS. 4-6 the shank tapers in thickness as at 30 from its tip end 24 to its base end 26. This is in contrast to the shank shown in FIGS. 1-3 which tapers only in its side elevation from its tip end 24 to its stock end 26. The numerals applied to the structure of FIGS. 1-3 are applied to like elements in FIGS. 4-6.
The dimensions and the material of the shank must be selected so that the flexibility is achieved without exceeding the limit of the elasticity of the shank, i.e., upon release of pressure, the shank must return to substantially its unstressed position at right angles to the stock.
The shank can be regarded as a single leaf cantilever spring and can be made from any one of the various fine grain alloy steels, e.g. a spring steel having a yield strength of the order of 200,000 pounds per square inch, or a high carbon alloy steel. When it is desired to provide a shank manufactured by forging or by casting, a flexible material such as nodular graphite can be utilized.
One can also use a fiber-reinforced plastic as produced by Union Carbide Corporation, 3M and Hexcel. A process for producing such material is set forth in the Rohl et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,462,289 of Aug. 19, 1969. One can also utilize KEVLAR, a product of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Delaware. KEVLAR is a solid resinous material containing an aromatic polyamide, a fluorocarbon polymer and a polyamide, see Matray U.S. Pat. No. 3,356,760. The manufacture of composites from a fiber-reinforced plastic is well-known and is described fully in both the patent art and in the literature, see, for example, "Science," Vol. 208 for May 23, 1980, pages 832-840.
Two criterions of importance in design of the shank are the "included angle" and the "linear deflection."
The included angle is that angle between (1) a line drawn through the tip of the shank and that point on the longitudinal axis of the shank at which curvature of the shank commences and (2) the longitudinal axis of the shank when the shank is at rest. This angle is shown in FIG. 7 for various angular values.
The linear deflection is the distance between (1) the shank tip and (2) the longitudinal axis of the shank at rest, the distance being measured along a line normal to the shank. This dimension is also shown in FIG. 7.
When the shank is made of any one of the aforementioned materials, the deflection can be expressed as a function of the shank length. Thus, with the shank at an included angle of 45° to the longitudinal axis of the shank when the shank is at rest, I have found that the shank is capable of such deflection that its tip or forward end is spaced linearly from the longitudinal axis of the shank a distance which is about 60% of the shank length without any adverse effect such as breaking or the imparting of a permanent set.
The shanks used heretofore were incapable of any deflection of the order of 60%. At the most their deflection without failure did not exceed a few percent, at the most 5%. This deflection was at an included angle of only a few degrees, usually less than 5°. Any deflection of a prior art shank beyond either of the foregoing limits resulted in a failure by breakage or imparting of a permanent set.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,249,546 contains a comparison of the resistance to continued burial of several anchors then available on the commercial market (1940) with the anchor which was the subject of that patent. The resistance was given under a heading "holding power per pound weight." That value ranged from 2.0 to 206.9. Mention was also made of a 29 pound anchor whose resistance was such that a 3/8" chain rated at 8,000 pounds tensile strength, failed under continued pull. Under these conditions, the resistance was of the order of 275 pounds per pound of anchor weight. The tests reported in that patent were made in certain areas of San Francisco Bay. In tests made in the same areas utilized in the earlier reported tests and under like conditions, an anchor made in accordance with this invention provided a resistance to burial of 1,500 pounds and more per pound of anchor weight.
The significance of that unexpected increase in burial resistance per unit of anchor weight is believed to be of great importance to every anchor user. In the small boat field, it enables a boat user to anchor safely with greater ease and convenience in the handling of the anchor before and after mooring. At the other extreme, for example, in the offshore drilling field where the weight of the anchor is measured in tons rather than in pounds, the difficulties in the placement of such immense anchors are materially reduced.
The anchor of U.S. Pat. No. 2,249,546 was a great advance in the anchor art. This was attested to by the governments of the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands for each purchased a license under that patent. The contributions of the teachings of that patent were recognized in an article which appeared in LIFE, a national weekly publication in the '30s, '40s and '50s. The article was published soon after the cessation of hostilities in World War II. The gist of the article was that the anchor of the Danforth patent had made possible the successful use of landing craft for the delivery of men, machinery and supplies to the beaches in all war zones involved in that conflict.
In carrying out the so-called landing craft program, each craft carried an anchor of the patented design at its stern. As the craft approached a landing on a beach, the anchor was dropped to engage bottom and a strain was maintained on the anchor cable to insure that the bow of the craft was directed toward the beach, thus avoiding broaching of the craft. When the delivery of the cargo of the craft had been completed, the craft pulled itself free of the beach and this without regard to the tidal condition existing. This freed the beach for the landing of other crafts and made the unloaded craft less likely to enemy air attack. The usual weight of the anchors employed on the landing crafts varied with the size of the craft and was from 100 to 3,000 pounds. With the anchor of this invention, this weight can be substantially reduced, lightening the load on the craft and materially reducing the weight of metal required for the anchors in the overall operation.
Anchors embodying this invention were constructed as taught in the Danforth U.S. Pat. No. 2,249,546 with the exception of the shank; it was constructed to embody this invention. Basically, each shank was made of a suitable thin, flexible and resilient high tensile steel which, after being formed to the desired tapered configuration, was heat treated to provide shanks of the following dimensions, which are in inches:
Each shank was quite resilient and flexible and was easily moved into a position wherein the shank tip had the linear deflection in inches shown in the following table; the included angle is also shown in degrees. To effect this movement, the base of each shank was firmly held as if attached to an anchor. A pull was then applied to the shank tip to bend the shank to a desired extent. Upon release of the applied pull, each shank returned to its normal straight-line position. No breakage or permanent set occurred.
After performing the foregoing manipulation of each shank, each was then placed in position and secured in those elements necessary to provide a complete anchor, namely, the flukes, a crown and a stock. The three anchors thus provided were of the following weights in pounds:
Each assembled anchor was then attached to a rode so that the anchor could be engaged with the bottom and then pulled by the force provided by a landing craft; the actual craft was a Navy LCM, capable of exerting a force sufficient to drag the anchor under test, at least 25,000 pounds. A strain gauge was positioned in engagement with the rode to determine the magnitude of the pull required to force the anchor to pass through the layers of solids making up the bottom. With the passage of time, these layers became more compact as the water in which the solids were once suspended is forced from between the solids until they provide a very solid and dense mass. The anchor penetrates the bottom until it reaches a level at which the resistance to further anchor penetration exceeds the applied pulling force.
The three anchors were each attached to a rode which was, in turn, attached to the aforementioned landing craft. Because of a desire to examine each anchor after it had been pulled by the landing craft, none was pulled to the point where it was dragged. It was feared that an anchor might be destroyed by application of a force of the magnitude required to break the anchor free so it could be dragged. In any case, the maximum force exerted upon each anchor while it was still stationary in the bottom is shown in the following table as is the pounds of resistance per pound of anchor weight.
While the three anchors tested were of a nominal weight, the test results are truly indicative of what can be expected in anchors of a greater size and weight. Those skilled in the art can readily determine the dimensions required for larger size anchors. This has proven to be true in the anchors made under U.S. Pat. No. 2,249,546 in sizes of 10 to 50 and more tons.
The relation of the height of the tip to the height of the base and to the length of the shank is shown in the following table in which (a) is the height of the tip, (b) is the height of the base, and (c) is the length of the shank for the three shanks discussed above.
______________________________________SHANK c/a c/b b/a______________________________________3 101 7.6 13.38 110 7.8 1420 112 9.2 12______________________________________
The above ratios can vary between 80 to 130 for the length of the shank to the height of the tip end, from 5 to 10 for the ratio of the shank length to the height of the base end and from 10 to 15 for the ratio of the height of the base end to the height of the tip end. The taper of the shank is preferably within these limits.
While the improved shank has been disclosed with some specific references to the anchors disclosed in Danforth and Ogg patents, such reference is without any limitation of the disclosure because the novel shank can be employed with any structure useful to secure in place any water borne object attached by a rode to a device engaged with a bottom and which device restrains or limits the movement of the object with respect to the water supporting the object. In connection with the above, reference is made to each of the aforementioned patents as well as the various anchors disclosed in the several publications by the applicant herein, entitled Anchor and Anchoring, and on deposit in the Library of Congress, including Copyright No. A129402 and later editions.
Summarizing the above, the shank has a tip joined by an intermediate portion to a body portion. The aforementioned three elements when at rest are in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the shank, the shank being inflexible in a first plane and flexible in a second plane which is oriented at 90° to the first plane. The shank is flexible to an extent such that the tip can be moved in the second plane into a position wherein it is substantially normal to the aforementioned longitudinal axis without permanent deformation of the shank.

The Ecumenical Adventure
Interview With Expert on Interreligious Affairs
WASHINTON, D.C., FEB. 24, 2007 (Zenit) - Ecumenical and interreligious dialogue doesn't mean that Catholics have to compromise their beliefs, actually, quite the opposite is true, says Father James Massa.
Father Massa is the executive director of the U.S. episcopal conference's Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.
In this interview with us, he discusses the particular challenges and benefits of ecumenical dialogue in the United States.
He highlights the current trials in dialogue with the Episcopal Church, which recently participated in the Anglican Communion's meeting of primates in Africa.
Q: On Jan. 30, Bishop Brian Farrell, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, met with U.S. ecumenists in Virginia. He said one of the main challenges in ecumenism is getting to the local level and making the spirit of ecumenism form part of the daily life of pastors and faithful, something he referred to as "reception." Could you explain more of what that is?
Father Massa: The last 40 years, since the Second Vatican Council, have produced an abundance of ecumenical statements that are the fruit of the Catholic Church's bilateral and multilateral dialogues with our partners in the Orthodox Churches and in the ecclesial communities of the 16th century Reformation.
Many Catholics and other Christians have scarcely any awareness of the progress that has been made in these dialogues, which have sought to resolve doctrinal disputes and to find new ways of expressing in common our faith in Jesus Christ. Ecumenism must be about more than issuing statements; it must be lived at the local level where Catholics and other Christians gather for worship and witness to the Gospel.
Q: Benedict XVI said in his Angelus address Jan. 21: "I hope that the longing for unity ... will spread ever more at the level of parishes...." What do the U.S. bishops recommend to their priests so that this longing for unity can be nurtured?
Father Massa: Pope John Paul II has called spiritual ecumenism "the soul of the ecumenical movement." The Catholic faithful and their pastors have ample opportunities to engage the multivalent tasks of spiritual ecumenism.
I would name three key areas: prayer, study and witness to justice.
As for prayer, we should keep in mind what the John Paul II said in his magnificent 1995 encyclical, "Ut unum sint," no. 22: "If Christians, despite their divisions, can grow ever more united in common prayer around Christ, they will grow in the awareness of how little divides them in comparison to what unites them.
"If they meet more often and more regularly before Christ in prayer, they will be able to gain the courage to face all the painful human reality of their divisions, and they will find themselves together once more in that community of the Church which Christ constantly builds up in the Holy Spirit, in spite of all weaknesses and human limitations."
Then there is dialogue, which requires that all the participants be knowledgeable and fully committed to the tenets of their own religious tradition.
If the Catholic participant is conflicted about this or that particular teaching of the Catholic Church, then he or she is not an adequate representative of the tradition. Dialogue becomes a farce. I have been in attendance at such meetings, and they are not terribly edifying.
I keep in mind no. 36 of the John Paul II's encyclical: "With regard to the study of areas of disagreement, the council requires that the whole body of doctrine be clearly presented. At the same time, it asks that the manner and method of expounding the Catholic faith should not be a hindrance to dialogue with our brothers and sisters.
"Certainly it is possible to profess one's faith and to explain its teaching in a way that is correct, fair and understandable, and which at the same time takes into account both the way of thinking and the actual historical experiences of the other party."
Finally, there is the work of justice.
As followers of Christ, we must defend the dignity of every human being who has been "remade in the image of Christ" irrespective of that person's race, ethnicity, religious convictions, or way of life. Once again I draw on "Ut unum sint," no. 74: "Social and cultural life offers ample opportunities for ecumenical cooperation. With increasing frequency Christians are working together to defend human dignity, to promote peace, to apply the Gospel to social life, to bring the Christian spirit to the world of science and of the arts. They find themselves ever more united in striving to meet the sufferings and the needs of our time: hunger, natural disasters and social injustice."
Q: During the Week of Prayer for Christian ...

Indiana senior swingman Will Sheehey suffered an ankle injury Sunday while working as one of the college counselors at the Adidas Nations event in Garden Grove, Calif. According to Jonathan Givony, who is covering the event for DraftExpress.com, Sheehey had to be helped off the floor by two players and appeared to be in significant pain.
A source said shortly after, however, that early indications are that the injury doesn't appear to be quite as bad as the ankle injury Sheehey suffered during the 2011-12 season, when he missed five games, and there do not appear to be any broken bones involved.
UPDATE: Givony wrote on his Twitter account that he spoke to Sheehey and that Sheehey expects to be back in action in a week or two.
Ian #1
Fran Fraschilla mentioned that he was trying to "hammer in a dunk". Also mentioned that his ankle isn't so bad and that he had a headache…must have hit the floor pretty hard after the attempt.
Rico #2
Too bad. Hope your full tilt in November Will!
Keith #3
I'm all for Will getting some meaningful experience this summer, knowing that he will be called upon to lead this team. By all accounts his confidence is growing. It sounds like this injury is minor (thank goodness) and he'll be ready when practices start in October. One heck of an athlete, one heck of a competitor can't wait to see him lead the '13- '14 Hoosiers.

PA President Abbas and PM Fayyad 370 (R).
(photo credit:Fadi Arouri / Reuters)
The Palestinian Authority is currently embroiled in a largely self-inflicted
financial crisis so bad that it could lead to what one high-ranking Fatah
official recently referred to as a "popular explosion."Unfortunately,
instead of taking responsible steps to remedy the situation, the PA has chosen a
tried-and-true tactic – blaming Israel.Last month, for instance, Ahmed
Assaf, the spokesman for Fatah, the largest faction in the PLO, claimed that the
current financial crisis was the result of Israel's decision to confiscate
Palestinians' tax and customs revenues.About the same time, PA Prime
Minister Salam Fayyad called on Palestinians to launch what he called an
"economic intifada" against Israel and boycott all Israeli goods. Both Assaf and
Fayyad claimed that Israel's "seizing" of PA tax revenues was a form of
punishment for the Palestinians successful November 29 UN bid for nonmember
state status.Palestinian leaders have conveniently refrained from
voicing the truth: Revenues "seized" by Israel were used to cover Palestinians'
outstanding debts to the Israel Electric Company. The Arab Jerusalem Electric
Company, which provides Palestinians with electricity, buys power from the
Israel Electric Company.As The Jerusalem Post's Palestinian affairs
correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh has reported, Palestinians – particularly those
living in refugee camps – have either avoided paying their electricity bills (as
well as their water and municipality bills) or have been regularly stealing
electricity.Apparently out of an inflated sense of entitlement,
Palestinians believe the international community – particularly the Americans
and the Europeans – should foot their bills. Others, rightfully distrustful of
corrupt PA officials, don't want to see their hard-earned money
squandered.Meanwhile, the PA has utterly failed to enforce the law,
particularly in the refugee camps. Instead of launching a more aggressive
crackdown against Palestinians who don't pay their bills, the PA, with Fayyad's
backing, decided to cancel all outstanding electricity bills for Palestinians
living in the West Bank. At the same time, Fayyad lashed out at Israel for
daring to collect Palestinian debts to the Israel Electric
Company.Another factor completely under Palestinian control that is
exacerbating the financial crisis is the tremendous amount of waste in the PA
budget, funded almost exclusively by international donors – particularly
Americans and Europeans. For instance, each month the PA sends $120 million to
the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Most of the money goes to paying the salaries
of about 80,000 PA civil servants living in Gaza who stay at home and don't
work.The practice, aimed at maintaining a PA toehold in Gaza, has been
in effect since Hamas's violent 2007 coup.In addition, just this weekend
Fatah spent more than one million dollars for celebrations marking the 48th
anniversary of the "launching of the revolution" – a reference to the first
armed attack carried out by Fatah against Israel.Palestinians are fed up
with the hypocrisy in calls by high-ranking PA officials to boycott Israel. For
instance, Fayyad lives with his family in east Jerusalem and enjoys the
municipal services provided by Israel. And as reported by the Post's Abu Toameh,
top PLO and Fatah officials do their shopping and receive services from
Israeli-owned businesses both in the West Bank and in Israel.Why would
some 40,000 Palestinians with permits to work in Israel and tens of thousands
more who profit from doing business with Israel heed these leaders' call to
launch a boycott? Doing so would only deepen the economic crisis.Instead
of choosing a path of self-empowerment and accepting responsibility for their
own fate, Fayyad and other Palestinian leaders have opted yet again for the
well-traversed road of self-victimization. Apparently, Palestinian leaders in
the West Bank believe they will succeed in deflecting growing anger and
frustration on the Palestinian street and redirect toward Israel. We hope they
are wrong.However, even if the present Palestinian leadership is pushed
out of power by popular demand, the most likely candidate to fill the vacuum
will be Hamas.
