Recently released CIA documents reveal that imprisoned Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard was asked to pass information on nuclear, military activities of Arab countries, Soviet Union, and not information on U.S. activities • Documents strengthen position of U.S. officials calling for Pollard's release.
The U.S. National Security Archive revealed over the weekend documents related to the activities of imprisoned Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard.
Pollard's stolen material, from the Israeli perspective, provided significant benefits, the CIA wrote in its heavily redacted "damage assessment" document.
Pollard, 57, was a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy when he copied and gave his Israeli handlers classified documents. Arrested in 1985 after unsuccessfully seeking refuge at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, Pollard was convicted and two years later sentenced to life in prison. Democrat and Republican administrations in the U.S. have repeatedly refused Israel's appeals to commute Pollard's sentence.
The National Security Archive's documents show that between 1984 and 1985, Pollard's handlers had asked him to pass along intelligence on the nuclear, military and technical activities of Arab countries, Pakistan and the Soviet Union - and not information on U.S. activities. This was according to the CIA's damage assessment from 1987.
"Apart from supporting Israeli actions or positions that could harm U.S. relations with friendly Arab states, Pollard's activities have caused some Arab countries to raise unwelcome questions or make critical observations about US evenhandedness in its Mideast policies," the document states.
Pollard was asked to transfer information on matters such as Syrian aircraft and their communications system, Egypt's missile program and Soviet air defense systems. Israeli intelligence was particularly interested in obtaining a technical guide which was vital to the activities of Soviet advisors in Syria, a guide which was an official NSA document. Pollard told investigators that his Israeli handler Joseph Yaqur informed him that the NSA manual permitted Israel to begin the process of attempting to monitor a communications link between the Soviet General Staff in Moscow and the Soviet military assistance group in Damascus, Syria.
The U.S. documents specify how Pollard's direct handler, Yossi Yagur, told him to ignore requests Rafi Eitan, head of the scientific relations unit at the time, to give him U.S. "dirt" on senior Israeli officials as well as the names of Israelis who were giving information to the U.S. Yagur told Pollard that collecting such information would lead to a cancellation of the spying operation. Some of the information transferred by Pollard to Israel helped in the Israeli elimination of the head of the PLO's military wing in Tunisia, Abu Jihad.
The contents of the exposed documents strengthen the position of several American officials claiming that Pollard's sentence is disproportionate to his crime because his espionage activities were not meant to harm U.S. security but to help Israel defend itself. Pollard claimed that the U.S. was not being forthcoming with the intelligence it had that could have helped Israel.
The committee working to secure Pollard's release said on Saturday that disclosing the documents would motivate more U.S. officials to express support for the Israeli agent's release.
Esther Pollard, Jonathan Pollard's wife, said in response to the revelation of the documents that, "Jonathan should not be in prison one second longer following the release of these secret documents."
Pollard recently started serving his 28th year in prison, without a reduced sentence. He was hospitalized several times in recent weeks due to his deteriorating medical condition.
Two weeks ago, the imprisoned agent was taken to the hospital after collapsing in his jail cell. In August 2011, he had emergency kidney surgery and in April of this year he was rushed to the hospital after falling ill due to a significant decline in his health.

The West Texas Lady Comanches got a little taste of revenge last night as they took care of business with a win over the Lady Wildcats from River Road. The two met earlier this year with River Road getting the win 52-49. Last night, the tables were turned with the Lady Tribe coming out on top 36-29.
Abby Summers got the Lady Comanches on the board first with a soft jumper in the paint. Cheyenne Tull hit a bucket with a strong shot inside and was fouled. She made the free throw to give WT a 7-4 edge. WT held a 7-6 edge after the first. The Lady Comanches had 3 turnovers in the opening quarter compared to 8 for River Road.
Tull added two buckets in the second as did Erin Summers. Kaitlyn Wilson had a basket. The Lady Comanches' defense held the Lady Cats to just 3 second quarter points to take a 17-9 lead into the locker room at the half.
Tull continued to play strong inside the paint for WT in the third quarter and had three buckets inside. Abby Summers swiped the ball and made a great pass inside to an awaiting Tull. This coming just after Summers hit a three from way outside. Natalie Franklin popped a trey just as time expired in the third to give the Lady Tribe a 31-21 lead.
River Road made eight unanswered points in the third to close to within six, 33-29 with 2:31 left in the game. After that little run, they got nothing else and WT sent Abby Summers to the foul line twice. She made 3-4 to preserve the win for the Lady Comanches 36-29.
Tull led WT in scoring with 15 points, 7 rebounds, and a steal. Abby Summers had 8 points and a key steal in the final minutes. Erin Summers scored 4 points. Sarah Kelly scored 4 points and had 5 boards. Franklin had 3 points and 2 rebounds. Wilson had 2 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals. Alyssa Snider grabbed 6 rebounds and had a nice defensive game for the Tribe.

2001 4r100 rebuild advice
looking to rebuild locally (east bay area) my tranny and don't need to build it for a 600 hp motor.But I do have a dp tuner and am probably in the the low 300 hp class. options so far are 3100.00 ish for a guy to go through it using a ford reman torque converter thats triple disc and forged steel, red eagle clutches and change out all electronics and solenoids and keep my john woods vb. He wasn't sure if I have steel planet gears but it sounds to me like I do being its a 2001. Another option was a shop for 1200.00 using raybestos clutches and seals was gonna go through and mic and test everything and change out as needed solenoid and electronic wise. And said whatever tc I want is fine and the ford remans are upgraded but single disc and would add that cost of coarse. Also said he could have work done on mine to upgrade and we could talk about that. same 12000 mile warranty but the more expensive was only 3months instead of 1year. I do want a better tc then stock and am wondering how far to go with it... whats out there realistically for my needs? Saw a Diamond T, FOR 500.00 witch looked good I think. Bts and ats and sun coast ect. look awesome but feel the lack of funds and the need to go that far with a billet one for extreme use that i'm not doing, btw I rarely tow but do have lead foot and love that torque...(nothing better then smoking idiots in traffic with their windows down),but again I'm not even close to 400 hp. Also a local rebuild guy can be a better service then shipping stuff back and forth IMO.I don't know from lack of experience what products are better and whats the best move. any help would be awesome...oh and thats walk in prices since I'm pulling the tranny myself.

HAMMOND Its been an eventful first year for the Business & Economic Development Group of Hammond & Chippewa Bay.
Since the group first met in March, it has established a farmers market and website. Members are hoping to expand on that progress next year with two new events: River Weekend and business development workshops.
Volunteers are being sought to serve on the event committee for River Weekend, economic development group Co-Chairwoman Erica C. Demick said Thursday.
The details of the weekend would be established by the event committee, which will include a board member of the larger committee, Ms. Demick said.
It could include fireworks over Singer Castle and a full day of events that bring in residents from inside and outside the area, who will enjoy interacting with businesses, vendors, food and encouraging some form of competition, she said.
Ms. Demick said she anticipates that the River Weekend will be held in August so as to not overshadow other events going on.
Group members said they hope River Weekend will bring recognition to the area, drawing tourists and providing an economic boost to businesses.
With the help of SUNY Cantons Small Business Development Center, Ms. Demick currently is working on a series of workshops that will cover a range of topics relevant to the business community:
n Buying & Selling an Existing Business Long & Short Term Planning for a Profitable Transition.
n Get on the Map Business Listings & Customer Review Sites.
n E-Commerce Training Series Learn the basics of e-commerce and how your business can improve its current e-commerce strategy or just get started. This series of workshops will help business owners understand the world of business on the web while providing practical tips and hands-on guidance with exposure to website design and creation, social networking, security and compliance issues, search engine optimization, etc.
The group is looking for more vendors for its farmers market, which starts in early summer and ends in early fall. For more information, email email@example.com.
The group also is developing a slogan or tagline for the Hammond-Chippewa Bay area.
The slogan will be featured on new signs that will sit at the towns entrances.
There are more than 15 possible slogans to choose from on the economic development groups website and even a spot to add your own: www.VisitHammondNY.com.
We are still open to suggestions, Ms. Demick said.
Some sample slogans include:
n Hidden Gem of the 1000 Islands and Black Lake
n Natural Wonder of the St. Lawrence
n Emerald Fields between Black Lakes and Blue Rivers
The group is available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/VisitHammondNY.
The committee has 52 members.
We are still encouraging local businesses to add their company to our general listing, Ms. Demick said. We have identified that there about 122 businesses within the community.

The recent decisions of the US Supreme Court, (in the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 cases) to strike down anti-gay marriage legislation may very well produce an increase in immigrant marriages. The actual number of couples who were lawfully married in a non-U.S jurisdiction or will be married in a state that allows same sex marriage and who wish to file joint returns is unknown. But, among the issues to confront all couples who have immigrant spouses is income tax and estate and gift tax planning.
U.S. taxpayers are subject to taxation on worldwide income and on worldwide assets. That means that a couple that files a joint return makes an, essentially, irrevocable election to subject the income and assets of both spouses to U.S. income tax, and estate and gift tax laws, as well as Bank Secrecy Act laws (such as having to report foreign financial accounts annually on an FBAR). It is therefore important for the couple to consider the effects, including compliance requirements, of a nonresident spouse becoming a U.S. taxpayer. If the spouses decide that they want to file jointly, here are the requirements. The failure to comply with regulations may render a joint return election invalid.
A nonresident spouse can elect to be treated as a resident if all the following conditions are met:
1. One spouse is a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of the tax year
2. That spouse is married to the nonresident alien at the end of the tax year
3. Both spouses choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a resident alien.
To make the election both spouses must sign a statement and attach the statement to the joint return for the first tax year for which the choice applies If the election to treat the nonresident spouse as a resident is not made the taxpayer cannot file a joint return
Once the election is made to treat the nonresident spouse as a resident, the election applies to all later years unless one of the following occurs:
1. Either spouse revokes the election
2. Either spouse dies
3. Legal separation under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance
4. The IRS ends the choice due to inadequate records
The benefits of permanent resident status and ultimately U.S. citizenship, may well justify the the additional tax cost if a joint return election is made. The key is making a knowing and informed decision in advance.

Khloe Kardashian is showing some skin in London!
The reality TV star pulled out one of her sexiest looks yet while doing a radio tour across the pond on Friday -- stepping out in a pair of tight leather jeans, a black feather bomber jacket and a black top with a bunch of very revealing, sheer cutouts.
She finished her look with a high pony, hoop earrings and a nude lip.
Khloe is in the UK promoting the Kardashian Kollection, hitting the red carpet on Thursday in another semi-revealing black number.
Worth noting: She still continues to wear her wedding ring from Lamar Odom, amid reports they may be trying to reconnect through couples therapy.

Eric Tran is a multi-disciplinary illustrator and concept artist from NJ. His conceptual work is primarily digitally driven, however his strong roots in traditional media have served to benefit his current "video game style" and establish him as a true talent in his field. Picking up regional and national acknowledgement with the launch of his new portfolio site http://erictranconcepts.com/ Eric is truly an upcoming talent that is no doubt destined for fame.
Subsequently I also designed Eric's logo — at the time one of my first logos ever!
I sat down with Eric on Facebook and conducted this interview over a few months (when we both had time).
ZOMGIMBORED: I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to sit down and chat with me. I know you've got a lot going on so why don't you start by telling the readers some things about yourself. What's your art education? What got you started and excited about what you're doing conceptually?
ERIC TRAN: I have been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil, and growing up with an amazing artist as a father, I had a natural urge to draw. I grew up on video games and comic books, so when I learned that there is an actual job market for drawing monsters and fantasy landscapes, I felt that it's something I've been doing as a kid and I wanted to learn from the best. As far as my education goes, I went to rowan university for illustration, and my professors didn't know how to help me learn this exciting contemporary digital art, so they helped me with my traditional skills like figure drawing and oil painting but when it comes to digital, I pride myself in bring self taught.
I'm always on a quest to learn, which is why you can find me regularly studying classical sculptures at the metropolitan museum.
ZOMG: Very cool, can you tell me a little about your short term and long term goals as a conceptual artist right now? Are you primarily working freelance?
ET: Currently I am doing freelance work. I enjoy the freedom of it, but I wouldn't mind working with a team. I'm a good team player and there are many things to learn from other artists all around you. My long term goal I suppose would be to establish myself as one of the greats, and to have employers seek me for my vision and style.
ZOMG: Never short on ambition! That's what I like to hear. Tell me a bit about some of the steps you're taking to motivate yourself to achieving the best portfolio you can. Are you finding working solo to be detrimental to excelling?
You've mentioned several times that your father is an artist as well and worked for DC Comics briefly. Do you tap him as a resource for critique?
ET: Well, one thing I always do when I'm approaching a piece is I always look at master drawings and painting and try to pick them apart. I truly want to understand anatomy and light and shadow to the fullest and I figure I can't go wrong by looking at the best of them. Never compare your work to someone who is not at your level yet. If some artist's work makes you jealous, don't be discouraged by it, be motivated to be better than that. Even if you never succeed in doing so, you'll be a lot better than you ever thought you could be.
My father was working on a small team for DC to develop a comic that never saw the light of day. It was being funded by a game company who pulled the funding early. He is one of the best artists I know honestly. He can create scenes with multiple figures, in any pose, in any environment without the use of reference material. He is a great critic of my work and he does indeed give me another perspective on tackling certain design elements.
Can you talk about some of modern influences you have? Who's work are you looking at the most to get inspired?
ET: There are plenty of contemporary artists who's work I admire. I grew up drooling over Magic: The Gathering card art, so of course Brom is one of my all time favorites. I love Daarken's work because it seems like he can paint anything. Carlos Huante has some of the best organic forms I've ever seen. And of course Justin Sweet is inspiring, his style is so effortless looking but impossible to replicate.
It seems out of place to some, but I gather a lot of inspiration from the masters of the past. These artists were brilliant draftsmen, and learned the value of figure studies. I study classical art from Rubens, Raphael, Gericault, Tiepolo, Van Dyck and others.
ZOMG: I always find it so awkward to study Masterworks in person. I can never get comfortable. You just bring your sketch book and stand and draw, don't you?
ET: Yeah, it can get uncomfortable at times. Usually I get in the zone and don't really notice my legs or my hand going numb. Usually small crowds of people gather around while I draw and I answer some questions, it's a nice experience.
ZOMG: That's pretty cool – how something like that can become an interactive experience.
So let's talk about your new website, anything ground breaking coming out with it?
ET: Ground breaking? Haha I don't believe so. I just want my work to speak for itself and I want it to be an open hub of activity; a place where fans and other artists can come by and watch my progress over the years. I'll have a blog on it where I post things about upcoming events, jobs, and just whatever is on my mind. Also I plan on selling prints, as well as having free tutorials for those who are interested in my technique. I feel like since I basically learned how to paint digitally on my own, I would like to pay it forward to other artists out there. Hopefully provide some inspiration as well.
ZOMG: That's awesome. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from seeing how you work and manipulate digital paint.
Is there anything else you'd like to share with the readers? Any parting words of wisdom?
ET: Well, since I'm not some super famous artist, I can't really say "I got successful following these steps", however if the readers enjoy my artwork and want to know what it takes to become a better artist, all I can say is that time and patience will take you there. I believe that if you spend enough hard working hours into learning something, you will succeed at it. It does not come without a price though. You may have to sacrifice going out as much, or drinking, or playing video games; whatever that thing is to you that stunts your artistic growth, you have to sacrifice it. Also, don't ever doubt yourself before taking on a project! You are a warrior with a unique set of skills that serve to conquer the task at hand. The more you practice, you broaden your arsenal and increase your stamina.
Thank you for honoring me with your time James, and thanks to the readers for checking out my site. Stay tuned for updates.

Summary and Analysis
We were unable to find any information pertaining to Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child or the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child with respect to the child's right to be heard in child protective proceedings. Zambia is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child[2] and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child,[3] but has only ratified the former.
Zambia does have some legislation on the protection of children's rights in judicial proceedings, but it does not fully comply with the goals of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention has yet to be domesticated, and therefore holds no authority for application or enforcement by the Zambian courts of law. Zambia recognizes children under the age of nineteen to be minors. Any committee of group working regarding the rights of children must be approved by the Minister. When a child in need of care is brought before the court, the relevant factors for the court are home circumstances, health, age, character, and the like. Additionally a case can proceed without the presence of the child if the court decides that the child's presence is not essential.
Furthermore, in Zambia, the legal tradition includes a dual legal system consisting of traditional law and statutory law, which further impedes implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. There are seven ministries responsible for the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and there is little communication between the ministries, leading to a lack of organization and support for children's programs.

Among the piece of business at the Wednesday meeting at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority — the election of new officers.
In 2014, Virginia's Frank M. "Rusty" Conner III will take over the chairmanship of the 17-member board. He succeeds Michael Curto, a Maryland appointee, who chaired the board during some of the most tumultuous times.
"I want to personally acknowledge my appreciation for Michael Curto's leadership," said Director Richard S. Carter. "He steered us through some very turbulent waters, stood fast through all these matters and held us together as a board of directors."
Conner is managing partner of DLA Piper's Washington, D.C., office. He serves on the board of Ford's Theatre and as counsel to the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. He previously served as chairman of the board of the Virginia College Savings Plan, as a trustee of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and as a board member of the D.C. Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Conner lives in Alexandria.
D.C.'s Warner H. Session, the board's new vice chairman, takes over from former Virginia representative Tom Davis. Session is founder of the Session Law Firm. Session is former counsel to the House Government Activities and Transportation subcommittee. He served as lead counsel to the subcommittee as it investigated the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Session serves on the Boards of the Thurgood Marshall Center, United Black Fund, Parklands Community Center and Metropolitan Day School.
Also, Quince T. Brinkley Jr. was elected secretary. He was first elected vice president and secretary to the Airports Authority in 2008. Brinkley worked for the City of Chicago in the Office of Management and Budget and served as a senior airport consultant with Unison Consulting Group Inc. in Chicago, where he provided consulting services to airports across the nation. He has also worked in real estate development and finance in the Washington, D.C. region, Atlanta, and Charlotte, N.C., with the Urban Residential Development Corporation, the Freddie Mac Corp. and Wachovia Securities.
Conner, Session and Brinkley will serve one-year terms beginning in January.

My Review of Lauren Myracle's Latest YA
Once again, I had the pleasure to review an excellent novel for The New York Journal of Books. Lauren Myracle's latest is THE INFINITE MOMENT OF US, a beautiful, quieter love story than Myracle's earlier work.
Ms. Myracle is famous for pushing boundaries in children's literature. Those boundaries can be structural—she wrote a series of bestselling books (ttyl, ttfn and l8r, g8r) told entirely in the form of a long series of text messages—or content driven. Her brave novel Shine took on hate crimes, poverty and the meth culture. By comparison, The Infinite Moment of Us is much more self contained. (Read the entire review...)

New York state lawmakers have proposed a ban on anonymous online comments.
Called the Internet Protection Act (A.8688/S.6779), the legislation would require a web site administrator to pull down anonymous comments from sites, including "social networks, blogs forums, message boards or any other discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages."
The bill states:
A web site administrator upon request shall remove any comments posted on his or her web site by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate. All web site administrators shall have a contact number or e-mail address posted for such removal requests, clearly visible in any sections where comments are posted.

Archive for the 'Jaguar Mk2' tag
Outtakes from our month with a Jag
We recently spent a whole month with a 1967 Jaguar Mk2 (yeah, we know, our job is tough), thanks to the generosity of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car subscriber and British car enthusiast David Clark. You can read a full report of our long-term, 1,000-mile test drive in the December issue of the magazine, which should be on newsstands right about now. Here, we thought we'd share with you some photos from our time spent with the car.
It's not often we get to have a car overnight (or over several nights), so we took the opportunity to see what the Mk 2 looks like under streetlights. Not too bad, is it?
Here's what it looks like in broad daylight. This was taken atop Mount Greylock, which, at 3,491 feet, is the highest peak in Massachusetts. The Mk 2 made the ascent without drama, its temperature gauge holding steady all the way.
Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, was one of the small towns devastated by Hurricane Irene in August 2011. It's made a remarkable recovery. In the background is the Iron Bridge, which carries automobile traffic, and behind it is the famous Bridge of Flowers, a former trolley bridge that's now reserved for pedestrians, who stroll across to admire its extravagant blooms.
The Mk 2 3.4 was one of the fastest production cars of its day, and is still a remarkable performer. The 3.4-liter, DOHC XK straight-six is rated at 213 horsepower, and, in this four-speed car, provided acceleration of 0-50 in 9 seconds and a top speed of 120 MPH. More than one dawdling motorist on Vermont's Route 7 was no doubt surprised to be overtaken by this 46-year-old machine.
For more of our time with the Jaguar, make sure to pick up the December issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Jaguar Mk2
I don't get to see many music videos anymore, so I have no idea which artist employed this 1967 Jaguar Mk2 in his or her three-minute tribute to short attention spans and Auto-Tune. I can guess that it's not a video you or I would want to watch anyway (yes, I'm looking forward to becoming a crotchety old man). As for the Jaguar itself, we're only left with the photos and a brief overview, but Bunny, our mistress, will enjoy driving it to the yacht club this summer. From the seller's description:
Calif. car with no rust. Done up for music videos in pink with white leather. Mechanially reconditioned by jaguar specialist. In excellet overrall condition.

Root Causes: 2/3 of Britain's Dysfunctional Families are Fatherless
John on March 10, 2012 at 11:21 am
In looking for the "root causes" of last summer's riots, investigators discovered something:
About 72,000 of the most troubled families, 60 per cent of those being targeted by the Government, are headed by a single mother. The rate is about triple the national average.
An official review into the causes of last summer's riots is expected to highlight the lack of "male role models" for many of the youths arrested in the wake of the widespread disturbances.
The riot panel, set up to investigate the problem, is thought to have become frustrated that few details of the family backgrounds of problem children have previously been recorded, despite it being such an important influence on their behaviour…
Britain's problem families are estimated to cost the taxpayer £9?billion annually – an average of £75,000 each in benefits and the costs of other public services.
In the UK, politicians are taking this issue seriously as a major drain on public resources. Last October the Telegraph reported just how serious the problem was:
"It's a story of futility and waste. Waste of money. Waste of people. And it has simply got to stop. We are going to stop it. We can no longer afford the luxury of fruitless, uncoordinated investment. The damaged lives and communities."
Mr Pickles highlighted the case of one family in Salford which was visited by 250 government officials in a single year, including 58 police call-outs and five arrests, five 999 visits to the local casualty unit, two injunctions and a council tax arrears court summons. The cost of the family to the taxpayer was calculated at about £200,000 a year.
Illegitimacy and fatherless households are just as big a problem here in the US as they are in the UK. But there's a reason we never have this same discussion here in the states. The reason is that here in the US illegitimacy strongly correlates with race. As a result, any conservative–like Santorum–who raises this issue in public is suspected or accused of using "dog whistles" or coded language. In short, the left demagogues this issue by playing the race card every time it comes up. As a result, we can't do anything about what is probably the #1 driver of dysfunction among young people–crime, drugs, gangs, failure to graduate from high school, etc.
The left in this country will not let us talk like adults about the real problems we face. This is perhaps the most egregious example.

Research Summary
|Mechanistic, Synthetic and Structural Chemistry
H2 is an ideal storable form of energy. Splitting water produces H2 and burning it, or even better using it in fuel cells, regenerates water and releases the chemical energy stored in H2. Thus H2 can serve as a recyclable alternative energy source which avoids CO2, a major contributor to global warming. Electrolysis of water to produce H2 and H2 fuel cells require catalysis by Pt, a rare and expensive metal. However, [Fe Fe]-hydrogenase, whose active site is shown below,
is an exceptionally efficient enzyme (high turnovers rates at low overpotentials) for producing H2 and uses cheap and readily available iron. Inspired by Nature we have synthesized organometallic catalysts with Fe2S2 cores that mimic the enzyme active site to convert transient electricity and solar energy into the storable chemical energy inherent in H2 in collaboration with Professors Lichtenberger and Evans (Purdue). Understanding the mechanism for catalysis through experimental and computational methods, is enabling us to design more effective synthetic catalysts.
Electron transfer is of fundamental importance in such areas as biological redox reactions, organometals, superconductors, and photoconductors. We are interested in the factors that control electron transfer. Since sulfur is cheap, implicated in biological redox chemistry and sulfur compounds are useful in organometals, superconductors and photoconductors, it is a featured atom in our research. We have found that juxtapositioning thioethers and electron rich groups close to each other in space with the correct geometry may result in exceptional redox chemistry. To accomplish these juxtapositions conformationally constrained systems must be synthesized. Three such molecularly constrained systems, which show unusually facile oxidation are listed below.
Selenium is an essential mineral and is required in small amounts in the diet of humans. However, larger amounts are toxic. A number of mammalian and bacterial proteins containing selenium, have been found and typically the selenium occurs as selenocysteine and, if the protein is an enzyme, the selenocysteine is at the active site. Selenocysteine has been found to be the 21st amino acid incorporated contranslationally. We have shown that the biosynthesis of selenocysteine involves the intermediacy of the novel monoselenophospate which is the biological selenium donor formed from ingested selenite. Identification of biological Se-containing species by Se-77 NMR spectroscopy is a powerful methodology which we are developing.

Southwest Feeling The Love From Both Men And Women
By Barb Smith, NewsRadio 1080 KRLD February 17, 2012 11:00 PM
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A new study for Forbes magazine shows that the brand both men and women desire the most is Dallas based Southwest Airlines.
MORE: The Brands American Men And Women Desire Most
It's unusual for both genders to think the same about a certain product or company.
UT Arlington Assistant Professor of Marketing Altin Briggs says the study was conducted by a neuromarketing firm which looks for emotional reactions, which Southwest does very well.
Listen: KRLD's Barb Smith talks with Briggs
He says Southwest is taping in to characteristics that both men and women can enjoy.
Briggs says for Southwest to stand out on top coming from such a negative industry is a testament to the airline's strategy.

Offering services in Massage, Trager and other natural therapies, the Song of Life Healing Centre is conveniently located 3 min from the town center of Denmark, WA. Soon coming also: Zofia Dymitr, one of Englands great homeopaths with nearly 30 years experience.
Only a short walk from Denmark, we are situated right by the forest in a beautifully quiet spot. We offer a variety of holistic healing sessions as well as retreats for Body, Mind and Soul.
Caring and enthusiastic practitioners are qualified and have vast experience in their respective healing traditions.
Among the many things we offer is:
Massage, generous, gentle yet deep with profound effects. Combining a light flowing massage with deep tissue work creates the most relaxing and healing experience.
The Trager Approach encourages increased freedom of movement, deep relaxation, lightness and well-being. In a hands-on session you re-discover your natural state of relaxation. Trager helps to dissolve habits and patterns that cause tensions, pain or restrictions.
Homeopathy: Zofia Dymitr FSHom will be available for homeopathy consultations in Denmark, WA and the Fremantle area from August to October. She works deeply with your experience of "unwellness" to find the remedy which will be the catalyst for your healing. A first consultation will last an hour and a half and will offer you the opportunity to express in detail the essence of your experience. Zofia has been in practice for 28 years in the UK, and will offer follow up consultations by Skype and email to review your progress. To arrange an appointment please contact Zofia at
Counselling: Counselling from the Heart encourages the art of embracing what is. Loving awareness heals. From a place of acceptance it is easier to see one's issues clearly, to understand what is needed and to take effective action.
Tibetan Pulsing Healing is an ancient and immensely powerful form of healing, a process of transformation that heals on many levels. During a healing session blockages melt away, 'dis-ease' is dissolved and the body's natural energy flow is restored.
Healing Relationships through Tantra: To discover Tantra is the most enlivening event that can happen for a couple, restoring and healing their relationship.
If you would like to look into the background of our work first, you can look at Healing, Magic or maybe read a little of Sudeva's life story in About Us
Or, if you are feeling playful, you could check out Zen Tarot or Laughter is healthy.
Sessions and workshops are available in Denmark and Albany and occasionally in Fremantle.
Retreats for Healing, Tantra or Meditation are offered at the lovely Bombina Cottages in Denmark ... a place of peace and tranquility, by the forest and overlooking the blue waters of the Wilson Inlet.
You are also welcome to contact us for a telephone session.
If you would like to host a workshop where you live, you are welcome to get in touch.
to the Heart
Moving our attention from the head to
the heart
In our day to day life, our attention is
with our thoughts most of the time.
Only rarely do we really hear the birds singing, feel our
feet on the ground, notice the smells around us and notice
the spaciousness in our heart. And yet, everyone who
stops long enough to let the attention effortlessly settle
into the heart has discovered such joy and love. Through
the heart we can find a way into the depths of our being,
where we can relax into who we truly are.
This weekend is our chance to shift gear. We will use
meditations, playful 'exercises' and activities
to explore and uncover the heart's many riches, colours
and fragrances.
Subhi and Sudeva have been working in this field since
the early eighties and have a lively lighthearted approach
that will enable you to relax and enjoy.
Date: To be announced
VENUE: near Fremantle,

Health Tips:
Eating as a meditation
How about making something we do every day into a meditation and reaping health benefits from it at the same time?
When you eat, let your senses open. Be simply present ... take a moment to enjoy the look of the food, the smell ... as you pick up the fork, feel the touch of fork on skin, maybe feel the sunshine or the air on your hands, your face ... slowly raise the food to your mouth, being aware of the anticipation ... and then experience the flavour, the temperature and texture of the food, bite by bite.
Take your time to taste all the different nuances the food has to offer.
Allow your eyes to be soft, your breath to be free.
What a gift, a moment of simply being here, not distracted by TV or radio, a book or computer.
Simply tasting, smelling, feeling.
Eating as a meditation allows you to relax while you eat, to feel more calm and peaceful, more centered.
In this state the nervous system supports the digestion and the absorbtion of nutrients to its optimum.

I was born in Germany, and my english was very basic indeed when I first travelled to England at the age of 15. I was trying to find something in the supermarket, and I just couldn't find it. So I asked a shop assistent: "Where do I find dogs?" - "Dogs?" - "Yes, dogs!" -"We don't sell any dogs." - " You must sell dogs! Cold dogs!" - "COLD DOGS???" - "Yes! You know hot dogs? I want cold dogs." - "Ahh! Sausages!" - "Yes! Sausages!"

Chicken, Fennel and Orange Salad with Pinwheels
Rachel Allen serves up this delicious starter on Rachel Allen's Everyday Kitchen.
- for the chicken, fennel and orange salad:
- 2 tblsp olive oil
- 1 x 1.5–2.25kg (3lb 5oz–5lb) chicken or leftover roast chicken
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 oranges
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 2 tblsp finely chopped parsley
- juice and finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tblsp olive oil
- 4 large handfuls of salad leaves
- for the pinwheels:
- makes 20 pinwheels
- 215 ml (7fl oz) warm water
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 11/2 tsp dried yeast or 15g (1/2oz) fresh yeast or 1 x 7g sachet of fast-action yeast
- 375 g (13oz) strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tblsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- 75g (3oz) mozzarella, grated
- 75g (3oz) parmesan cheese, grated
- 75g (3oz) tapenade or pesto
- Method for the Chicken, Fennel and Orange Salad: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas mark 4.
- Put the chicken in a roasting tin, drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 11/2–13/4 hours or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, you can start preparing the salad. First peel and segment each orange. Using a small, sharp knife and working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut off the ends, then carefully cut away the peel and pith in a spiral until you have a peeled orange with only flesh and no pith. Next carefully cut along the edge of each segment, leaving behind the membrane and freeing a wedge of flesh from the pith. Repeat for all the segments and place the flesh in the bowl; squeeze the peel and remaining membrane into the bowl to catch any extra juice, then discard. Instead of segmenting the oranges, you can if you wish cut each peeled orange into slices horizontally to make round slices.
- To prepare the fennel, slice off the fronds (the feathery bits on top) and reserve these for using later. Cut off the stalks and discard, then cut the bulb into slices 5mm (1/4in) thick.
- When the chicken is cooked, allow to rest somewhere warm (such in as the oven, with the heat switched off) for 5 minutes, then carve into pieces and tear or cut these into roughly bite-sized chunks. Place in a large bowl with the fennel slices, orange segments and any juices, chopped parsley, lemon juice and zest and the olive oil. Toss together gently and season with salt and pepper.
- Drain off a little of the liquid from the dish and use to dress the salad leaves in a separate bowl, then place the leaves in the middle of a large serving plate. Tip the chicken mixture around the salad, then scatter over the reserved fennel fronds to serve.
- Method for the Pinwheels: In a measuring jug, mix the warm water with the sugar and yeast and leave to stand in a warm place for 5 minutes or until the mixture is creamy. If using fast-action yeast, there is no need to let the mixture stand.
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl, or the bowl of an electric food mixer fitted with a dough hook, and make a well in the centre. Add the olive oil to?the yeast mixture, then pour into the well and mix to a loose dough, adding extra water if needed.
- Knead for about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth?and springy to the touch. (If kneading in the electric food mixer, 5 minutes is usually long enough.) Grease the bowl with olive oil and put the dough back into it, then cover the top tightly with cling film and place somewhere warm to rise until doubled?in size. This may take up to 2 or even (on a cold day) 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, grease a large baking sheet with olive oil and mix together the two grated cheeses in a bowl.
- When the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a work surface dusted in flour. Sprinkle some flour over the dough and roll it out into a rectangle measuring roughly 20 x 25cm (8 x 10in). Spread the tapenade or pesto over the dough to cover it, then roll up like a Swiss roll, starting at one of the longer edges.
- Cut the rolled-up dough into 20 even-sized slices, then place, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet, well spaced apart, and sprinkle each one with the cheese. Set aside and leave to prove for 20–30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), Gas mark 6.
- When the pinwheels have doubled in size, place in the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Saturated fats
Saturated fats are found predominantly in animal products such as meat and dairy products, and are strongly associated with higher cholesterol levels. Tropical oils such as palm, coconut, and coconut butter, are also high in saturated fats.

Panel Questions Value of Calcium, Vitamin D Pills
Popping calcium and vitamin D pills in hopes of strong bones? Healthy older women shouldn't bother with relatively low-dose dietary supplements, say new recommendations from a government advisory group.
Both nutrients are crucial for healthy bones and specialists advise getting as much as possible from a good diet. The body also makes vitamin D from sunshine. If an older person has a vitamin deficiency or bone-thinning osteoporosis, doctors often prescribe higher-than-normal doses.
But for otherwise healthy postmenopausal women, adding modest supplements to their diet - about 400 international units of D and 1,000 milligrams of calcium - don't prevent broken bones but can increase the risk of kidney stones, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said Monday.
It isn't clear if those doses offer bone protection if taken before menopause, or if they help men's bones, the guidelines said.
What about higher-dose supplements that have become more common recently? There's not enough evidence to tell if they would prevent fractures, either, in an otherwise healthy person, the panel concluded. It urged more research to settle the issue.
It's a confusing message considering that for years, calcium and vitamin D supplements have been widely considered an insurance policy against osteoporosis, with little down side to taking them.


text: Mary Catherine Swanson, an Advanced Placement (AP) high-school English teacher of more than 20 years and an English Department Chairwoman, founded the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program in 1980 at Clairemont High School in Southern California. The program was founded in response to federal court-ordered integration and is aimed at overcoming the challenges associated with teaching urban school children who are ill prepared to undertake college preparatory curriculum. Students in the program are placed into rigorous curriculum in order to be challenged and are taught skills to assist them in studying, note taking, and test taking. Students are also exposed to cultural change though attendance at stage plays, symphonies, museums, and places of professional employment. The success of the program is highlighted in the fact that AVID is now an international program instituted at more than 2,200 high schools in 36 states and 15 countries. Furthermore, 95% of AVID students enroll in college, 89% persist in college, and 85% will graduate (or have graduated) from a four-year college or university in four to five years. Ms. Swanson firmly believes that working with students positively can affect tremendous change; and for over 25 years AVID has proven, with over 30,000 students, that when given academic rigor, guidance, and support all students can achieve at high levels.
