Former Paralympians, Danny Crates and Giles Long, were recognised with Honorary Doctorates of Science from UEL's School of Health, Sport and Bioscience at the North Greenwich Arena in London today.
Both athletes embody the drive, ambition and commitment to sporting excellence, which encompass UEL's ambitions to be the number one university for sport in London by 2015.
After losing an arm in a traffic accident, Danny went on to win Gold in the Athens 2004 Paralympics, setting an 800-metre world record in doing so; while Giles overcame childhood cancer to become one of the UK's most successful Paralympic swimmers.
Since retiring from professional sport in 2007, both have carved out successful careers as motivational speakers and embarked on television careers this year during Channel 4's Paralympic coverage; Giles inventing the pioneering Lexi system for explaining the range of competitor classifications to a television audience.
Danny said: "Thank you for this award. You don't understand how important it is for me to be receiving this honorary degree alongside Giles. We are both local lads, we are both Paralympic medallists and we both embarked on television careers for Channel 4 this year. If you had given it to one of us but not the other, believe me, you would have heard about it!"
Giles said, in reference to the Lexi system, which is considered one of the key factors that made the Paralympics such a TV hit: "Good ideas are something that the UK is a world beater at. If you have an idea, pursue it, because you never know if it might be an idea that changes the world."
He added: "If something that I invented helped people to enjoy the London 2012 Paralympic Games, then that's pretty cool."
The University of East London (UEL) is a global learning community with over 28,000 students from over 120 countries world-wide. Our vision is to achieve recognition, both nationally and internationally, as a successful and inclusive regional university proud of its diversity, committed to new modes of learning which focus on students and enhance their employability, and renowned for our contribution to social, cultural and economic development, especially through our research and scholarship. We have a strong track-record in widening participation and working with industry.

To me the symptoms, by which it provokes.
You provoke them in me.
Before my face, passed a spirit,
The hair stood up, on my flesh.
My thoughts to keep, my thoughts to watch over.
My memory strays into,
An image of you, warms my skin.
This particular symptom is accompanied,
By a shiver down my spine.
A constriction of my throat,
In my eyes, a precipitation of water.
Like a spear that goes through me,
Everything that reminds me.
Reminds me of You.

New LaserLT offers brighter, bolder, and smarter approach to weight display
Posted By cprewitt On May 20, 2010 @ 9:37 am In Aggregates Zone | No Comments
[1]Rice Lake, WI, May 18th, 2010: Rice Lake's compact and powerful LaserLT takes the remote display one step further, combining more features and more benefits for a smarter approach to communicating weight values. This watertight device offers the superior function, incredible value and unbeatable durability you've come to expect from Rice Lake.
Indoors or out, the LaserLT remote display is an economical approach to putting basic indicator function in a secondary location. A five-button keypad can remotely change units, gross/net, tare, zero and print. Improved by a unique lens material and optional visor, the contrast of the LaserLT's large 1 ½ inch display is fully adjustable for effortless viewing at up to 50 feet. Keep your indicator investment protected in a clean, dry environment while your LaserLT takes the abuse of the elements. The LaserLT is daisy chainable for linking multiple units to a single indicator/controller. Six easy-to-read enunciators and an added red and green stop/go feature boost communication and expand versatility even further.
Easily install your LaserLT with any electronic weight indicator or peripheral equipment using either fiber-optic, Ethernet, or wireless methods. An enhanced learn mode quickly recognizes any model or brand indicator/controller for simple and seamless operation. Its watertight industrial-grade 304 stainless steel enclosure is as tough as they come—guaranteeing the LaserLT performs solidly in any application, wet or dry, factories or stockyards, feed mills or gravel pits. Say it better with the LaserLT.
Rice Lake Weighing Systems is a family-owned, ISO 9001 certified corporation, with headquarters, metrology laboratory and main manufacturing plant in Rice Lake, WI. Additional manufacturing facilities are located in Jasper, AL. and Newtown, CT.

Well, actually, the gift was on time. . . I will explain. 😉
My sister and I went to the cities this weekend to visit a couple of friends and go to a play and out to dinner with them. The friend we stayed with is, admittedly, not a real "plant person."
So, we get there Friday night and were sort of hanging around in her kitchen, getting some wine open and making a snack, when she brings out this paper bag–like a lunch-sized bag, maybe a little bigger, and it's closed at the top. She says, "I got this amaryllis bulb for Christmas–do you think it's too late to plant it?"
I say, well, you know, it's really never too late to plant it–it may not DO anything, but why not give it a go? So I opened up the bag, and voila, there was this amaryllis bulb, already in a pot with dirt, already growing, and (of course) white as the driven snow.
Well, maybe not quite that white. But it was pretty white. We had a good laugh over it—quite a good laugh. We sort of giggled about it all evening.
The next morning, when I was up and she was still in bed, I gave it a drink of water and found a spot for it in the kitchen right by a south window.
It will be really interesting to see how it does–she's promised she'll keep me updated.

IFPI welcomes final court decision against vKontakte
Music companies working to develop a fair online music market in Russia have been bolstered by a landmark final court ruling confirming that the social network site vKontakte is guilty of distributing unlicensed music on its website.
The Presidium of the Russian Supreme Commercial Court on November 8th refused to hear an appeal by vKontakte against lower court rulings. The decision leaves no scope for further appeals in this case and it upholds the landmark findings against vKontakte by the St. Petersburg Court of Appeals and the Federal Court of Cassation.
Welcoming the judgment, IFPI CEO Frances Moore said: "This is the latest of several court decisions against vKontakte in recent months, and it sends a clear message from the highest Russian court that the company must change its ways and take several steps to stop these infringements and respect intellectual property rights. Russia can have a thriving modern music industry and be a major world market if it can stop services like vKontakte from infringing the rights of artists and producers and violating Russian law. The government has a key role to play, and we hope it will exert is influence to make sure vKontakte stops infringing."
Background on the case
The case against vKontakte was brought by SBA Music Publishing and SBA Production, members of the Gala Music Group in Russia. The cases were based on vKontakte making available a number of Gala's music compositions and sound recordings without licensing agreements. It has now passed through the Commercial Court of St. Petersburg, the Commercial Court of Appeals, the Federal Commercial Court, and with the refusal of an appeal to the Presidium of the Supreme Court, the appeals process has concluded. The Federal level judgement is therefore final, while several further cases are pending in lower instance courts.
Background on vKontakte
vKontakte is Russia's most popular online entertainment platform. It has over 110 million registered users and over 33 million users per day, and is one of the top 50 most visited sites in the world, attracting more traffic than BBC Online or CNN.com. vKontakte itself claims to be responsible for more than half of all internet traffic in CIS countries.
The unlicensed vKontakte music service allows on-demand streaming of music from an extensive catalogue of Russian and international sound recordings and encourages software developers to create apps for illegal downloading of content via vKontakte.
Russia is now one of Europe's biggest online markets. vKontakte is a business valued at between US$1.5 and US$3 billion, and it is built on the back of content which they are not licensed to use. The music industry has partnered with a number of internet and telecom companies to offer various legal online music services in Russia (see http://www.pro-music.org/legal-music-services-europe.php) but vKontakte, with its illegal business model, dominates the market.

Despite recent economic turmoil, high levels of unemployment and dragging consumer confidence, U.S. home values performed better than expected this quarter, according to Zillow's Q3 Real Estate Market Reports. U.S. home values were essentially flat from the second to third quarter, falling 0.2 percent. On a year-over-year basis, values were down 4.4 percent.
On a local level, fewer markets saw an increase in home values this quarter as compared with last. Only 26 markets saw home values rise from the second to the third quarter, whereas last quarter 61 markets saw increases on a quarterly basis. While this certainly isn't news anyone wants to hear, it isn't cause for renewed worry. The worst of the housing recession is behind us and this is the last bit of the recession that has to play out on our way to the market's bottom.
As Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries writes on Zillow Real Estate Research, "While we still have a ways to go in terms of home value depreciation, the pace at which home values are falling has declined considerably during the course of this year. This slower pace signals that a stabilization is on the horizon."
Unemployment and negative equity (at 28.6 percent this quarter), paired with fragile consumer confidence, remain the key factors preventing the housing market from stabilizing. Because of these factors, Zillow maintains the prediction that U.S. home values will hit bottom in 2012, at the earliest.

Helen "Elaine" Haines was located in Reno on Sunday morning, Aug. 18.
- Filed Under
An 83-year-old woman who had been the subject of a multi-day search in west Reno was found safe Sunday morning and returned to her family.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office reports that Helen "Elaine" Haines was located on the north side of the Truckee River just west of McCarran Boulevard about 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
She was in an unsheltered area with heavy vegetation, a location that was not on an established pathway, said Sgt. Bill Devine of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team.
Sheriff's spokesman Bob Harmon said that Haines had been walking the day before with her husband and became separated from him during that walk.
Helen Haines was found by members of her church group who had volunteered to assist the sheriff's search and rescue unit.
More than 300 members of Reno's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reinforced the efforts of 30-40 Search and rescue volunteers in the search for Haines. The effort began on Friday afternoon after she was reported missing in the area of Mayberry park.
Volunteers searched from the area of the park, along the Truckee River and into downtown Reno. The Sheriff's RAVEN helicopter provided aerial surveillance of the search area.
Washoe County Undersheriff Tim Kuzanek said he was extremely pleased that Mrs. Haines was found safe and wanted to thank all those who took part in the search effort.
"Mrs. Haines is with her family again thanks to the enthusiastic response of a concerned community, including days of hard work contributed by a highly organized group from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," Undersheriff Kuzanek said. "We want to make sure that everyone who took part in this search knows how much we appreciate their willingness to devote so much time and energy for the sake of another."

Bicycle culture is not something that can be forced upon a society – it needs to be understood and ingrained into all strata of a community.
The are many examples where a top-down approach has failed to get a bicycle culture accepted by the main stream – you do not have to look too far to see bike lanes that are seen as extra parking paces for cars or shared footways that are dominated by pedestrians. See the video bleow as an example of crap cycle lanes. The result of these is that they are not used and the cyclists are considered ungrateful which leads to a spiralling was of two wheels against four.
Will O the wisp thinks that the only way to get a bicycle culture that is really accepted is by encouraging bikes at school – the involves parents and teachers going out of their way to make it safe and secure for children to get to school on bicycles from as young as five years old – the skills they and their parents learn will stay with them for the rest of their lives and within a generation the country will accept cycling in urban areas every bit as much as they do in Holland an other areas of Europe.

Best suited to armchair savoring, Daniel Boulud's Daniel: My French Cuisine is a gorgeous cookbook, our Top Pick in Cookbooks for November and one of the best gourmet gifts of the season. With recipes from Boulud's famed New York restaurant, Daniel will inspire the most intrepid of cooks.
Cocoa-Dusted Dark Chocolate Bombe
Serves 8-10
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
- 31/4 cups heavy cream
- 2¼ cups sugar
- 12 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate (we recommend Valrhona cacao paste), chopped
Chocolate Syrup
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (we recommend Valrhona Manjari 64%), chopped
Chocolate Genoise Cake
- 1½ cups flour, plus extra for coating the bowl
- 7 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (we recommend Valrhona 100% Pure Cacao Powder)
- 3¼ tablespoons milk
- 3½ tablespoons butter, melted
Chocolate Ribbons
- 1 pound Tempered Chocolate (page 378)
For the Chocolate Ganache Frosting
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar and bring to a simmer.
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over the top.
- Rest for 1 minute, then whisk together until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish and cover the surface with plastic wrap.
- Cool at room temperature until the ganache thickens to a frosting consistency.
For the Chocolate Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar and ¾ cup water to a simmer.
- Remove from the heat and, using a hand blender, puree in the chocolate until smooth.
- Set aside to cool.
For the Chocolate Genoise Cake
- Preheat the oven to 320°F.
- Grease the inside of a 3-quart stainless steel bowl with nonstick cooking spray and lightly coat with flour.
- Fill one-third of a medium saucepan with water and bring to a simmer.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk to combine the eggs, yolk, and sugar.
- Set the bowl over the pot of simmering water.
- Continue whisking until the temperature of the mixture reaches 140°F.
- Remove from the heat and place the bowl on the mixer fit with a whisk attachment.
- Whip at medium-high speed until it cools to room temperature and forms ribbons as it falls from the whisk, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the cocoa powder and the 1½ cups flour together into a medium bowl.
- With a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in 3 additions, until no streaks remain.
- Fold in the milk and melted butter until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared 3-quart stainless steel bowl.
- Place the bowl on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour, and check the cake by inserting a cake tester into the center.
- Once the tester comes out clean, remove from the oven and immediately invert the cake onto a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, use a serrated knife to divide the cake into 3 even layers and set them on the rack.
- Brush each layer with about 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup per side to moisten.
- Frost the top of the 2 bottom layers with enough ganache to equal the thickness of the cake layers.
- Stack the layers back together and frost the outside of the cake with the remaining ganache.
For the Chocolate Ribbons
- Pour about 1/2 cup of chocolate onto a flat marble, glass, or stainless steel surface.
- Spread it into a 1-millimeter-thick rectangle, about 2 feet long by 6 inches wide.
- Allow the chocolate to set for 5 minutes, or until it is no longer liquid or shiny yet is still slightly soft.
- With a straight-edged stainless steel spatula held at a 45-degree angle, scrape the chocolate widthwise to form wavy ribbons.
- Transfer the ribbons to a tray and repeat the process until all the chocolate is used.
- Decorate the cake with the ribbons.

In February 2011, the first Dispatches from the Underground podcast, recorded by Joey Steel and Filthy Phill, started with the following statement: "There will always be an underground, that's why we are getting the fuck down, get critical, think, reflect, go deeper past the surface underneath to the underground. [...] Dispatches from the Underground is a celebration of the 'do-it-yourself-culture', DIY, if you don't like what is out there, do it better; do it yourself." Each episode is a brilliant mix of news stories, politics, music, incoherent and coherent rants (Joey) and inappropriate yet hilarious jokes (Phill). This week Joey and Phill, who have been friends since 2009, are recording their 150th episode. So it is about time to ask these two ordinary people who are doing a truly remarkable thing, some questions about their project, reflect on past episodes and discuss future ideas:
When did you two decide to team up and 'do it yourself'?
Phill: We played together in a band called Joey Steel and the Attitude Adjusters, a Motown punk band, and although we already knew each other, it was at this time that we established a real working relationship. We recognized in each other that we were reliable, passionate and dedicated people. Joey was the one who presented the idea to work together on something. Actually the way Joey approached me was: "Okay lets figure out how we are going to take over the world".
Joey: Originally when we got together I realized that Phill and I both really care about people. And we both like it when people say what they think. We want people to treat each other well and do good things. And be informed about other good things that are going on. It sounds very general now, but we basically wanted to do something to make the world a better place.
Phill: After that realization, we sat down with a note book a few times, trying to figure out different things that we might be good at and stuff we can do and other people can't. At a certain point we even tried to reinvent Facebook and Myspace.
But you went for a podcast, why?Phill: This was something we eventually settled on. Before Dispatches from the Underground I had a podcast for a while, called Transmission without Permission, that may or may not still be up on Myspace. So this format was something I already had experience in. I knew the technical aspects of recording and how to make an episode available online. Making a podcast doesn't require any credentials or a lot of equipment and since a career in established radio was, for us, next to impossible, we felt that a podcast was the next best thing to get your voice heard.
Speaking of established radio, is Dispatches from the Underground inspired by a particular radio show/host, or did you want to offer a complete alternative?
Joey: I am a one trick pony. I wanted to get radical politics out there and I wanted to provoke people to think. I saw and still see culture and music – the underground – as liberated space where one can express ideas. We are a punk podcast and there aren't many people around who are doing a similar thing, no one is doing 'talk', doing thought provoking things within the context of underground music. When you go to punk shows, it is all about music, but there is so much more than that. Obviously I love the music, that is where my heart is, but my body is all involved in the culture of the music. I wanted to translate the topics of the lyrics into talk. There is no one out there talking about what punk really is beyond music. It gets lost outside of the scene. We try to capture what punk should be about outside of the music, which is radical, provocative and community driven.
The podcast mixes punk and politics. Were you politically active before you started Dispatches?Joey: I did politics for a long time. Back in Ohio where I am from, I was involved in union work and environmental activism. I got more radical after 9/11. Eventually I got down with the Revolutionary Communist Party; for five years I went out on the streets, sold communist newspapers and went up to people and talk about politics. The party eventually moved me out to New York (2004), before throwing me out because they didn't appreciate my opinions. I felt that we didn't do enough culture work, I saw a community out there and was wondering why we weren't involved in it. They didn't think it was a priority nor did they feel it was correct to get involved. I for example was not allowed to be in a band. I didn't agree with these party policies and the first thing I did when I was thrown out, was join a band.
Phill: I wasn't politically active on a street level before we started the podcast. Joey introduced me to this world of gatherings and marches. I watched politics from the sidelines, but overall never got actively involved. I've always been pretty disenfranchised with the system.
Seven months after your first episode, Occupy Wall Street started. Suddenly a movement was born. You reported on the events. How involved were you?
Joey: We got thrown into it. We just went there the first week because we knew it was the place where 'the underground' was. We had already interviewed Anonymous before occupy Wall Street started.Phill: My Anonymous contact was at Zuccotti Park and Joey thought it was a good idea to go down there, with our portable recorder. We wanted to interview people and see what was really happening. I had never been to a protest before, it was my first experience. I was kind of shocked by the whole thing and it wasn't even a very large crowd. If I hadn't had Joey with me I don't think I would have gone, because it was so foreign to me. I remember standing next to the general assembly, they were having their meeting, and there were people wiggling their fingers and holding their hands up, and doing these weird hand signs. I had no idea what was going on. I had to ask Joey what all of this meant. So then I found out, that rather than talking over each other, when you agree you wiggle your fingers. I feel that the protest culture can be quite intimidating. I got engaged in the protest, went on my first march, banging on pots and pans. Every day after work, I would buy a case of water bottles, candy and hand sanitizer for the protesters. And hang out. It turned out to be a special thing. I took my girlfriend (now wife) there, on a march, which was her first march too. It got us more involved. We were arrested on the Brooklyn bridge with another 700 people. I felt part of something huge and awesome and incredible.
Many protesters felt that things at Zuccotti Park rapidly changed for the worse and left the movement, did you too feel there was a turning point?
Phill: I remember exactly when things changed. After being arrested, I proposed to my girlfriend right in front of the general assembly on Wall Street, using the people's mic. A week later we went back to hang out and as we were sitting there in the park, we noticed that there were more people begging for donations and people selling shirts than people protesting. That was the moment that I thought, Occupy Wall is turning into something else. It was also a fashion and when there were more donation buckets than protesters, we stopped reporting on it. And what it became was definitely not for me.
Joey: I was a little cynical when I first went down the park. I just thought it was good idea to publicize it and get down there before it was over, because I didn't know how long it was going to last. But it took off and it reminded me of the fact that things can change quickly. I would have never bet in a million fucking years, there would be a mass organization that criticized capitalism, albeit indirectly, that would speak to people in the way Occupy did. It reminded me how people think and act, and reminded me all that can and does change.
The Occupy movement might have died down, but you guys are still going strong. You just recorded your 150th episode and have a steady group of listeners. What is the secret of your success?
Phill: In a word? I'll say Failure. We talk about it and really get down underneath it on our 150th episode which people can find on iTunes or on our website http://www.dispatchesfromtheunderground.com/ Joey and I are very different people, but in the podcast and the music we make, we are the change we want to see in the world. That was the main push behind our successful Kickstarter campaign.Biographies
As front man of World War IX, drummer for The Will, New Damage, Joey Steel and the Attitude Adjusters and a (community college) award winning writer, Filthy Phill is a jack off of all trades. After a short time plying his full of repertoire of wiener/fart jokes and awkward social skills in the NYC stand up comedy circuit he shifted his focus to joining forces with Joey Steel, unleashing Dispatches from the Underground to an unsuspecting populous. Filthy Phill never lets a lack of talent, material, experience, knowledge or appreciative crowd deter him from writing, performing or saying obscene and enlightening things into a microphone. In this, he found a true comrade in Joey Steel.
Joey Steel is an unrelenting-fire breathing-hardcore troublemaker. A veteran of the radical left, he has been arrested over two dozen times struggling against the pigs and for justice-world wide. As the front man for All Torn Up!, Joey Steel and the Attitude Adjusters (hardcore covers of Motown hits), and The Will (HC/ Thrash) he unleashes his brand of liberating punk terror. But through all Joey does he remains committed to being a conscious, impatient, and untraditional communist with sights set on breaking the capitalist stranglehold on our culture and thoughts. Love it or hate it, Joey Steel will make you THINK HARDER about it. The shit eating grin he punches on your smirking (and reflective) face is free of charge. When he is not screaming in a mic organizing shows and political discussions, Joey Steel spends time educating children as a NYC teacher.

|Management of a hypoplastic lower urinary tract: a case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21683188 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|This case relates to a child with an antenatal diagnosis of severe bilateral hydronephrosis with congenital anomalies of the ureters, bladder, and urethra. We describe the presentation and surgical management, highlighting the complexity of this anomaly and the surgical technique used to reconstruct the lower urinary tract. To our knowledge, there has not been a similar case in the literature and the use of a segment of colon for ureteric substitution in children has not been previously reported in the literature.

In Navarre, a woman from the cantonment was recently penalized for driving carelessly after crashing into the rear end of a car, which then crashed into the vehicle in front of it.
55 year old Vera Daniel was seriously injured in the wreck that took place earlier today, said a Florida Highway Patrol announcement. She was heading East on Highway 98 when she rammed in to Hyundai van, which was waiting at the Coral Street intersection. The van in turn was then propelled forward by the impact and struck a Volvo in front.
Daniels passenger escaped with minor injuries. The occupants of the van were not injured seriously and the occupant of the Volvo was not injured at all. Alcohol is not one of the factors and everyone was found to be wearing seatbelts.

Exit Polls: Netanyahu List Stumbles in Election as Centrists Surge
Shas Seen as Kingmaker Again as Narrow Results Leave No Obvious Coalition
The official final results aren't expected until tomorrow, but the polls have closed for Israel's parliamentary election, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud-Beiteinu list continuing to stumble, and projected at 31 seats, a huge loss for a pair of parties that holds 42 seats in the outgoing Knesset.
The projections from different polling outlets all show roughly the same thing: that projections of major gains for extremely far-right Jewish Home didn't materialize, while Yesh Atid, the brand new centrist party, surged far beyond any projections, winning 18-19 seats and the spot of number two party.
While the final results could swing a seat or two this way or that, it seems clear that neither the far-right bloc nor the center-left are going to have a 61 seat majority by themselves, and the Ultra-Orthodox parties, particularly Shas, are once again in the position of king-maker, able to break the virtual tie and install whichever side offers them the most.
This is going to be a difficult sell either way, as Likud-Beiteinu and Jewish Home both seemed to go out of their way to alienate the religious right, with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman constantly questioning their loyalty, and Jewish Home leader Bennett blasting Shas repeatedly in the hopes of taking votes from them.
Shas ran an extremely ugly campaign, and repeatedly had to withdraw advertisements that were overtly racist against Africans and Russian Jews. Still, in the end they got that same 10-11 seats they always get, and that's going to be good enough to make them a major power broker.

Is the demographic Area C plan beginning to backfire? The hilarious thing about this is that now all of a sudden even a small minority of Palestinian Israelis can turn elections. A super majority of united people can dictate policy. However, Israeli society now seems far from united. Watch for increasing attempts to disenfranchise Arab voters. That's the only way "Israel" can keep going.
hmmm just imagine what it would be like if a unified Palestinian party were permitted to vote for the government that occupies them for how long now, isn't there like a limit on the item one country to not let those they occupy vote? These guys are open criminals blocking yet more land, with no apologies.. i really hope i live to see the end of apartheid..
It is a shame that the people of Israel failed to dump the man. Bibi clearly is a failed leader and he should be replaced before there is no hope for Israel. How Israel will keep the arabs from voting will be known shortly. I suspect they will try to force them out of the country. If they do as they did to form Israel it will be a disaster to democracy. The minority is not who leads in democracies but they have corrupted the system to do that. Israel will be unable to continue to play the victim card since most understand Israel is a very rich nation at least for the chosen. I think it is time for the USA to take care of its veterans over sending money to Israel. I would cut the $110,000,000 fighter jet first. Just why should the USA give 5 billion dollars of fighter jets who use can only be aggression to other nations.

Calif. Superior Court rules bulletproof vest manufacturer liable for death of officer
Natalie White
A California jury ordered a bulletproof vest manufacturer to pay the family of a slain police officer $3.6 million for failing to warn law enforcement officials of the product's failings.
The plaintiffs contended that the vests degrade quickly when exposed to light, heat and humidity - and that Second Chance Body Armor knew this and failed to warn its customers.
"A bullet was going to go through one of these vests sooner or later, and they knew it," said Gregory Emerson, the family's attorney. "This lawsuit wasn't about the money. It's about not letting something like this happen again. "
After a weeklong trial, jurors awarded Tony Zeppetella's widow and son $2.1 million in economic damages, including lost wages, and $1.5 million in non-economic damages for loss of love and companionship.
The jury found that the shooter, Adrian George Camacho, was 70 percent responsible for the non-economic damages, but the family had dropped Camacho from the lawsuit after he was sentenced to death for the shooting.
The remaining 30 percent of the non-economic damages was divided between Second Chance Body Armor (20 percent) and Toyobo Co. Ltd., (10 percent) the Japanese company that produces the Zylon fiber used in the vest.
The jury found the two companies 100 per liable for the $2.1 million in economic damages.
"What the jury saw was that the evidence showed these companies certainly knew of the problems that could result in a penetration, and they chose to go forward anyway without notifying anyone in law enforcement of the defects," said Emerson.
Exaggerated promises
Zeppetella was a 27-year-old rookie police officer in Oceanside, Calif., when he was shot to death during a routine traffic stop in 2003. Two bullets sliced through the Second Chance vest he was wearing.
The defendants argued at trial that no vest could have stopped the bullet that killed him because of the angle it hit the vest.
However, the plaintiffs' experts told jurors that the vest would have protected Zeppetella if the materials had not weakened and it performed as the manufacturer promised. They said the angle of the bullet had little to do with the failure.
Emerson said the companies knew for several years that the strength of Zylon fibers, used to make the vests, quickly and significantly degraded - sometimes in only a few months - yet continued to sell the vests and did not let law enforcement officials know of the potential dangers and risks.
In fact, Zeppetella had actually upgraded to the Second Chance vest because he thought there would be less risk because of the company's claims about its effectiveness. He owned the vest for about seven months before his death, Emerson said, and had paid an additional $300 of his own money for the upgrade.
"It's one thing to know there are risks and know you are taking those risks," said Emerson.
He said the most dramatic moment in the trial occurred when the plaintiffs introduced a memo from a Second Chance official saying that because of the degradation issue, the company had two choices: pull the vests off the market or "do nothing and let a cop" get killed.
Split decision
Jurors told reporters after the verdict that they had all agreed that the companies failed to warn, but could not agree whether the vest failed because of a defect or because of the angle of the bullet. Jurors also said that although they could not determine the issue of defectiveness they did feel the companies should have warned of the risks so that Zeppetella could decide whether to wear that vest or get another.
The federal government has also sued Second Chance Body Armor and Toyobo, Co., alleging that the companies conspired to hide evidence that the vests were defective. As in the Zeppetella case, the federal suit claims Second Chance sold hundreds of thousands of the vests to local, state and federal police despite knowing that they were overstating the vests' effectiveness.
Second Chance stopped selling the vests and acknowledged safety problems only after Zeppetella died and another police officer was injured when a bullet went through his vest.
Defense attorneys are expected to file motions to set aside the verdict, Emerson said.
Plaintiffs' attorney: Gregory S. Emerson of the Law Office of Gregory S. Emerson in Los Angeles.
Defense attorneys: Robert L. Green of Green & Hall in Orange, Calif.; Michael J. Lyle of Weil, Gotshal & Manges in Washington, D.C.
The case: Zeppetella v. Second Chance Body Armor; Sept. 7, 2006; California Superior Court in Vista, Calif.; Judge Michael Anello.

Sierra Leone suspends health officialsComment on this story
Freetown - Sierra Leone President Ernest Koroma has ordered the suspension of 10 health ministry officials implicated in the alleged misuse of more than a million dollars in donor funds, the government said on Wednesday.
"The nature and weight of the allegation make it imperative that those involved should be suspended from office to preclude obstruction and interference to the conduct of the investigation," a government statement read.
"Accordingly, President Koroma has directed that the 10 officials be suspended from office with immediate effect."
The officials include the ministry's chief medical officer, two permanent secretaries and accountants.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating the misappropriation of 750 000 euros donated by the Geneva-based Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) and the American-linked Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
As a result of the graft claims, GAVI has frozen a grant of over $500 000 and a new two-year grant of more than $5-million.
The allegations include "undocumented expenses, cash disbursements from bank accounts without documentation and overcharged procurement costs relating to the purchase of ambulances", according to the ACC.
According to World Health Organisation statistics, GAVI assistance to Sierra Leone since 2000 has totalled over $24-million for the purchase of vaccines such as the five-in-one shot which protects children against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and Hib (Haemophilus influenzae). - Sapa-AFP

Recent signs of economic recovery have sent gas prices higher in El Paso, in other parts of Texas, New Mexico and many areas of the country, AAA reported in its Weekend Gas Watch.
El Paso drivers saw the average price they pay for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline jump 11 cents in the past week to $3.34, AAA reported.
Still, that's 39 cents lower than at the same time last year.
"Although we've seen the prices go up over the last week, we're still doing much better than we were on this same day last year," AAA Texas/New Mexico spokeswoman Sarah Schimmer said.
Gas prices surged during the early part of 2013 and peaked in February. But since then, motorists have seen some relief at the pump.
AAA will continue to monitor gas prices week by week as Memorial Day weekend approaches later this month, so drivers can make informed decisions about their travel plans.
Drivers in Dallas and Fort Worth are paying the highest average price among major metro areas in the state at $3.41 a gallon. Drivers in Beaumont are paying the lowest average at $3.28.
The Texas statewide average is $3.38, up 4 cents in the past week. That's 17 cents lower than the current national average, $3.55, and 25 cents lower than the same time last year.
In New Mexico, Las Cruces drivers saw their average price jump 10 cents in the past week to $3.35. That's 26 cents lower than the same time last year, though.
The New Mexico average is $3.41, up 3 cents in the past week but 30 cents lower than the same date last year.

Try to include a bit of protein with every meal, and don't forget the healthy fat! They keep you full for longer! My favorite? A slice of bread with peanut butter keeps me satisfied for ages!
Get your protein in each day to keep you full and satisfied - especially after a good workout =]
While fats are higher in calories than carbs or protein, the right kinds of fat are well worth it. Foods such as walnuts, avacados, peanut butter, almonds, flax meal and other health fats not only do great things for your body. They keep you satisfied. You are less likely to snack. Try it!
I generally find that eating foods that are either high fiber, high protein, or both, keep me full and satisfied longer. I don't follow a low carb diet, but I do try to make sure that I go easy ont he carbs and fat and lean more heavily towards the side of high protein/fiber

h/t creeping sharia
When I first heard the words creeping sharia it sounded like some kind of red scare paranoia thing to me…until I started to actually do the research" ~former pro-mosque filmmaker
Eric Allen Bell is a filmmaker who was banned from blogging at the "Daily Kos" in the beginning of 2012 because he wrote three articles that ran afoul of the mindset there, specifically naming "Loonwatch.com" as a "terrorist spin control network." He has told his story in his article, The High Price for Telling the Truth About Islam.
Joining Eric Bolling on Fox News he cites the Center for Security Policy's "Muslim Brotherhood in America" course as an indispensable resource in his journey from Shariah skeptic to anti-Shariah critic.
Islam means "submission". Liberty means "you own you". Islam and Liberty cannot coexist
