RENO, NV - An elderly man disoriented after he mistook the gas pedal for the brake pedal drove his truck into a home Tuesday.
It happened around 10 am at a home on Robb Drive near Las Brisas. No one was seriously hurt. The driver is a 90-year-old man who hit the gas instead of the brake pedal, says Reno police.
The family that lives in the house was home at the time but nobody was hurt.

Daytona 500 pole winner Austin Dillon realizes he is following a legend in the No. 3 car.
- Filed Under
When they pulled the tarp over the No. 3 Chevrolet at the end of the 2001 Daytona 500, little did anyone realize what was about to happen in NASCAR.
So much changed through the years, both from a safety perspective and from the idea of anyone climbing into the car seven-time Cup champion Dale Earnhardt lost his life in.
The No. 3 has returned in 2014 and the fit seems to be ideal to those in the sport who felt it was time. Austin Dillon, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, gets the seat. Dillon, 23, is the defending Nationwide Series champion and former Camping World Truck Series champ. ...

Singularity theory is really just the cyperpunk wing of utopianism: the idea that cybernetics and/or AI are the means to eliminate all of those problems. It's no less imaginative than the belief that the discovery of alien life will unify mankind and transform our entire civilization, for example.
I don't think any kind of utopia is particularly imaginative.
Fantasy is often imaginative, even if it can never be real.
Not necessarily.
This Singularity nonsense and "Ancient Aliens" both fail imaginatively in a similar way. The believers in ancient astronauts understand so little about history and archaeology that they cannot imagine how "primitive" people could be as inventive and creative as they were. The Singularity evangelists see the world constantly and rapidly changing and they can't imagine this as an ongoing process over long periods of time into the future with no fixed end result, so they do what those filled with anxiety and doubt about the future have always done: they resort to apocalyptic thinking.
Kurzweil doesn't want to die. Guess what - very few people do. Denial takes many forms.

text: May 04 2011Earlier this week, state public health nurses in Craig reported a confirmed case of bacterial meningococcal infection in a Craig teenager. The youth was hospitalized on Sunday, May 1, and since then has improved because of the rapid diagnosis and treatment. So far there has been one other possible case, and that person has been medically transported for further treatment. Employees at the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) Alicia Roberts Medical Center, the Craig Public Health Center, the PeaceHealth Craig Clinic and the Alaska Section of Epidemiology have notified and treated more than 35 people who had close contact with the infected youth. Even though there have been one confirmed and one possible case of bacterial meningococcal infection in Craig, it should be safe for people to have casual contact with each other and for students to attend school. Bacterial meningococcal infections are rare, and usually only are found in people who have had close contact with someone else with the infection. Close contact means people living in the same household, or people who have shared saliva or other bodily fluids through kissing or by sharing drinks, cigarettes, pipes (tobacco or marijuana), needles, etc. Casual contact at school, local businesses and other people's homes is not considered close contact. A bacterial meningococcal infection can be quite serious, and potentially deadly, so people should remain alert to the symptoms — fever, severe sudden headache, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, pain in the shoulders and back, and/or a red pinpoint rash. High fever and irritability are symptoms found in very young children. Symptoms may appear within one to 10 days of exposure, and usually appear within the first three to four days. A bacterial meningococcal infection usually is more severe than viral meningitis, which has similar symptoms. If not treated in time, bacterial meningococcal infections can lead to severe brain damage, hearing loss, the amputation of fingers and toes, and even death. Certain antibiotics are very effective in treating bacterial meningococcal infections, and the earlier the infection is diagnosed and treated the better. There also is a vaccine available through the state's Vaccines for Children program (for people up to age 18) that can prevent the disease. Anybody experiencing symptoms should seek immediate treatment at one of the three major clinics in the Klawock/Craig end of Prince of Wales Island — the SEARHC Alicia Roberts Medical Center in Klawock (755-4800), the PeaceHealth Craig Clinic (826-3257) or the Craig Public Health Center (826-3433). The clinics also should have information on vaccine availability.

With his groundbreaking work directing and writing The Incredibles and Ratatouille for Pixar, filmmaker Brad Bird has firmly established himself as a legend in the era of modern animation. Prior to his tenure at Pixar however, Bird co-created and directed an astounding film called The Iron Giant , which displayed his unique ability to make animated films that are as appealing to adults as they are to children. Set in the late 50s, The Iron Giant tells the story of the friendship between a boy and a robot from space that crash-lands on Earth, but the animation is the real highlight. Fluid and detailed, reminiscent of a bygone age, Bird's design elevates the film from children's diversion to high art.

A New Cross is added to St Mark's Church
Mr. Michael Price, master wood worker, designed and made a most beautiful Iona Cross for St. Mark's Church. He and his wife, Ruth, good friends from the Napa Valley city of St. Helena presented their gift a few weeks ago. The cross hangs on the epistle side of our church near the altar rail and the last Station of the Cross.
The gorgeous walnut wood was chosen by Mr. Price and Fr. Prudhomme on a recent visit to the wood barn near Windsor.
The cross was inspired during the recent pilgrimage to the UK, following the footsteps of the Venerable Bede. The trip was lead by the Rev. Jeffrey Smith, Rector of St. Luke's Church in Redding.
Mike and Ruth Price visited St. Mark's recently, presenting the cross and meeting the congregation of saints in Larkspur.
We thank you Mike and Ruth for your gift and share pictures with other, inviting them to come join us for services.

Forage without fear
I used to maintain a healthy fear of wild mushrooms, a phobia shared by most people I meet. The consensus is that eating fungi from the ground can kill a person in minutes, if not at the very least ruin their day. For me, that opinion changed when I had a chance encounter with an elderly Lithuanian while taking a leisurely hike through the forest. Now, I can sauté my fear in extra virgin olive oil and pinch of salt. And it is delicious.

FHS band brings home 13 trophies from Gator Bowl performance
The Franklin High School Marching Band was given a surprise welcoming home after their trip to the Gator Bowl. The band was met at the Georgia State line by the Macon County Sherriff's Office and other authorities early Tuesday morning for a police escort to back Franklin High School.
The 73 member band travelled to Jacksonville, Fla. to perform in front of 85,000 people during half-time of the bowl game on Monday.
"We are so proud of our Franklin High School Marching Band," said Mayor Joe Collins before Monday nights regularly scheduled meeting of the Town Board. "They went to Florida and represented Franklin very well, and brought home numerous trophies!"
Superintendent Dr. Dan Brigman commended Mr. Huckabee and the students for their hard work on behalf of the school system. "We are very proud of all of the student's accomplishments under the leadership of Buddy Huckabee," said Brigman. "We are proud that they represented Macon County and Franklin High School exceptionally well at a national event. We are also so grateful for the support of the parents, booster club and community members for given the students the opportunity to travel to the bowl game."
After the Gator Bowl parade, and a special field competition held on Saturday, the band was named Grand Champions of Class A division of the competition after taking first place in every category for their "Sunday Crosswords" themed show. According to Buddy Huckabee, band director, the students performed remarkably well and received first place in marching, music, profession, color guard, and general effect. "We brought home 13 of the 18 trophies available in our division," said Huckabee. "Words can not express the experience, reliving it, can not express the experience we had. Being the only band from the South, within itself was an extremely honor, but being able to represent the South and bring home first place is just amazing."
In addition to performing during half-time, while the Florida Gators were well on their way to a victory against the Ohio State Buckeyes, and marching with bands from places like California and New York in the Gator Bowl parade, members of the band were able to spend time on the Jacksonville Beach and visit other historical monuments. "Not only did we get to take first in every category, but I am so happy to have had students get the opportunity to see the beach and visit St. Augustine, the oldest city. Some students may not have gotten the chance to do those things without the trip," said Huckabee.
Huckabee noted how grateful he was for support the community, local businesses, the school system, parents, the booster club, and for the dedication of the students for coming together to make the trip, which has been an ongoing process for the last 15 months, possible.

The 19th race of the 34th America's Cup. Oracle Team USA had come from 1-8 to 8-8, while Emirates Team New Zealand had been stalled on match point.
25/09/2013 - San Francisco (USA,CA) - 34th America's Cup - Oracle Team USA
Now this race would decide the outcome in the first to nine series. Wind 16-18 knots, a flooding current, smooth water.
25/09/2013 - San Francisco (USA,CA) - 34th America's Cup - Oracle Team USA vs Emirates Team New Zealand, Race Day 15
At the start, Team New Zealand was low in the box, Oracle Team USA high, both hit the line at speed. Emirates was fast around the top mark. Oracle dug a hole in the ocean with her bows but recovered well.
Down the wind, a drag race, a boat length apart, simultaneous gybes, at 40 knots.
As the two boats approached the bottom mark, the Kiwis just 60 metres ahead. Kiwis headed right, the Americans left.
On the first cross, the Kiwis have the lead but Oracle was heading for less current and had the right.
The lead changed as the Americans, having gained three lengths in the last few minutes, crossed ahead.
Oracle consolidated two lengths ahead on the next cross. Strategist Tom Slingsby had the American boat in fast mode and tactician Ben Ainslie was calling for everyone to work their asses off.
More time on the foils from the Oracle crew they were extending their lead, now 200 metres ahead. Every tack and the Americans were climbing away.
25/09/2013 - San Francisco (USA,CA) - 34th America's Cup - Oracle Team USA vs Emirates Team New Zealand, Race Day 15
A smooth approach to gate three by Oracle Team USA. At the very fast rounding, their upwind hull was very high.
As they powered down wind, the delta was 26 seconds, 500 metres ahead of the Kiwis. Jimmy Spithill was smiling, the lead extended to almost 700 metres.
The last rounding for Oracle Team USA, it was just a blast reach from here. The final delta was 44 seconds.
The Americans have defended the America's Cup.
The fly by, the Oracle team exploded, and so did the crowd.
Another flyby from the American's. Perhaps the greatest comeback of sporting history, from 1-8 down to 9-8 win. Larry Ellison on Oracle, champagne being swigged and sprayed.
Emirates Team New Zealand continues a 20 year relationship with Omega
Spithill, two times America's Cup winner. 'A fantastic race, these guys showed so much heart.'
Dean Barker very close to tears, heads down on Emirates Team New Zealand.
Oracle Team USA continues to parade around the Bay, under the Golden Gate Bridge and back.
It was only a week ago that the media shook their collective heads when Jimmy Spithill down 1-8 said 'Imagine if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be.'
And they did and it was.

There I am, in the middle of nowhere. I can still hear the
ringing voice in my ears screeching "that's not cold weather,
it's just death approaching".
I managed to get a glimpse at her face. She was gorgeous but her eyes were nothing but empty space. I was so frightened but some how yet attracted to her dead shark eyes.
I'm sprinting faster and faster but each shiver of cold darkness makes me want to turn back and follow her.
Suddenly my body is stiff and I can't move. After two minutes I see a dark shadow come out from the trees. She was wearing a white laced dress and a glowing overcoat.
As I make a blink I end up in a dark room tied to a chair. The woman is staring at me as if she's waiting for something to happen. When my eyes cross hers I'm suddenly in a trans. She wraps her long arms around me and seduses me into a deep hypnosis. I'm forgetting all about her eyes and am concentrating on what she's doing to me. And as she sweeps in for an open mouth kiss I suddenly realise I'm now in a firey kingdom which a lot of people call hell. I am dead thanks to The Laced Woman.

Garcia only missed one cut in his 16 starts on the PGA TOUR this season.
He had that look about him again, didn't he?
That impish grin. That bounce that has been missing in his step. That go-ahead-and-dare-me attitude on the course.
Those brilliant escapes. Those perfect putts.
It's been a while since we've seen this Sergio Garcia. About three years, if you're counting.
Three long years of long faces and looks that would be enough to snap your head off. Three years of frustration and what felt like a bottomless slump.
It's been a battle, that's for sure. He had to get over the loss of a great love, the disappearance of his game and too many months of that what-the-heck-do-I-have-to-do feeling. He had to have a lot of talks with himself and close friends. He had to be honest and step away for a little while to clear his head and he had to decide to step up as a vice-captain at the 2010 Ryder Cup when he wasn't playing well enough to compete.
He had to face his own doubts.
"I definitely did have doubts," he said last week. "You can ask Luke Donald about it. We had a conversation two years ago.''
And now? Is Sergio back? Sure seems like it, doesn't it?
Two weeks, two wins in Spain. The first by 11 shots, the second by one over a tough guy who just never gives up -- Miguel Angel Jimenez. Two weeks where everything finally fell together and those shots -- like the one with one foot in the pond or the up-and-down from deep rough on the final hole -- were brilliant.
It's not surprising that he passed on the long trip to this week's World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions, a tournament he won in 2008. He knows himself well enough to know that would be pushing it after two emotional weeks that put him back into the Official World Golf Ranking's top 20.
He may look like the same engaging 19-year-old El Nino who captured our hearts back at the 1999 PGA, but he's not. At 31, he's finally maturing.
This Sergio has been patient and honest -- with himself. When he didn't make that 2010 Ryder Cup team, he didn't sulk. He asked to be a part of the team. When nothing was working last year, he took time away and played soccer. He realized that golf was a job and his life, well, needed balance.
"I knew I had the game but if your head's not in the right spot, your arms don't do what they're being told to do," Garcia said after Sunday's win at the Andalucia Masters.
We saw signs that Sergio was on the way back early in the year with a couple of quick top-15s. Then came a T12 at THE PLAYERS, a T7 at the U.S. Open and a T8 at the British Open. And a T12 at the PGA.
No real Sergi-uh-o moments. Just steady improvement on all fronts.
"The wins are great," he said, "but the year has been very positive."
Like countrymen Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal before him, Sergio is passionate and that emotion -- no matter where on the spectrum -- is reflected in his game. He's down, so is his game. He's confident and look out. Remember the 2008 PLAYERS?
"I've always been competitive, even when my head wasn't in a great place,'' he said. "I went out to give it 100 percent but I couldn't keep it going. When things started to go a bit wrong, I collapsed and I lost the will to fight. But now I'm enthusiastic again."
He takes breaks during some weeks now to play a little soccer and relax. He has put that painful breakup with Morgan-Leigh Norman behind him and is now with Welsh beauty Nicola Horrex.
He fixed his putting by going to the claw grip. Not elegant, but it has been brilliant under pressure these last two weeks. Most importantly, he seems to be figuring out life.
We hope that means those not-so-pretty sulking moments -- think the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage or 2007 British Open -- are in the past. Back then it was all about passion and emotion, not maturity or any bigger picture.
Now? Well, he's thirtysomething and is finding the best lives are filled with a little perspective.
Sergio has been a black or bright color kind of guy for most of his career. But Sunday, he wore all-white. Peaceful. Composed. Confident. And the beard? Fits, doesn't it? Not full and thick, just the perfect amount of scruff.
The key? We keep going back to that passion. It came flooding back at the Ryder Cup and well, it just took a while to pull everything else together.
Does this mean we'll see him holding the Claret Jug or the U.S. Open trophy or wearing a Green Jacket? Who can predict? Who knew Darren Clarke would finally get his British Open or Charl Schwartzel would make history with birdies on the last four holes to win the Masters?
What we do know is the Sergio we've seen in 2011 seems ready to jump back onto the short list.
The two wins have pushed him to 18th in the Official World Golf Ranking and gotten him thinking about 2012 -- the majors and the Ryder Cup. But this time he's not getting ahead of himself. He's taking the week to relax and reflect on a pair of wins after three years of wandering.
"I'm out of words,'' he said Sunday. "It has been two amazing weeks.''
And, we think, a glimpse of what's still to come.

Israel 2012, The Question of a Nation: What Does Culture Have to Do with Politics?
December 12, 2012 § 6 Comments
The interesting thing about Israel is that its government and registered citizens have a wonky spatial perception, which feeds off itself: In Israel, you're not in the state, the state is in you. Due to this cyclical perception, along with the "standard" "nation branding" (a marketing lie on to itself, and that sick capitalist perception of a state- a geographic territory with obligations and responsibilities towards its respective inhabitants- as a product which is on the market for sale), known as Brand Israel, much of Israel's propaganda is based on the blurring of the lines between the individual and the state (and army).
As a BDS activist, whose main focus is cultural boycott, I've come up against a very common Israeli claim (individuals, small business, and government officials) that "culture has nothing to do with politics". Most commonly it comes in the form of a puzzled "rhetorical" question: "What does culture have to do with politics?!" As if asking this question closes the discussion, because it's so obvious that art, music, books, films, theater and dance are a pure form of entertainment that has no intellectual, political, anthropological value. As if cultural products aren't bought and sold as commodities and status indicators.
Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd. in the Service of the State of Israel
As anybody who lives in a capitalist regime knows, government and private business usually share mutual interests. Israel is no different. Somewhere in between the government of Israel and the individual citizen of Israel, there's that special class of private business. Staying on topic, I'd like to look at Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd., a small, yet prolific production company in Israel, which main project is bringing big name rock bands to perform in Israel.
My regular readers already know the name Shuki Weiss, but for the benefit of those that haven't read this bit of information, I quote myself:
Weiss and the Israeli government have a special relationship in which they include him in Knesset meetings about outlawing the protesting tool of boycotts [http://maxblumenthal.com/tag/shuki-weiss/], and he sends them VIP tickets to shows he produces [http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/tourism-minister-given-illegal-gift-of-vip-madonna-tickets-1.262006 ]. This is not just corruption within the system, but corruption that serves to whitewash Israel's war crimes against the Palestinian people, using international artists such as yourself. As quoted in the latter article:
"Tourism Ministry spokeswoman Shira Koa said that the ministry had agreed with the producers of the concert that the event would be used to promote Israel as a safe tourism destination. "Madonna belongs to an exclusive club of mega stars, who draws thousands of fans from abroad to her concerts. For this reason, the ministry authorized an agreement with the producers that would give the ministry video and stills footage of the singer and her entourage, both during the concerts and her visits to tourist sites in Israel, to be used in international marketing campaigns. They also agreed to have four displays at the concert with films promoting Israel, supplied by the ministry, targeting the thousands of foreign tourists… Such promotion campaigns are regular occurrences both in Israel and abroad."
These above two paragraphs actually answer the question of the connection between culture, economy and politics pretty straightforwardly. But it seems they are not enough to break through the state propaganda. Somewhere along the past few days, the Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production company, replaced the one and only page on their website, publicizing the May Depeche Mode concert, with a re-issuing of their 2011 statement (shamelessly promoted on Marianne Faithfull's official Facebook page):
Due to the state connections of Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd., which I've outlined above, this statement is dishonest at best. But I'd like to delve into it a bit deeper, because it would seem that the Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production company has officially taken upon itself to channel state propaganda, from tourism; to technology, culture, arts, science, entrepreneurship and medicine; "The Only Democracy in the Middle East"; to freedom of speech; to an apologetic stance on a "questionable leadership and a less than positive foreign policy" (but what does culture have to do with politics?!). I'd argue that this is not an innocent attempt of a local individual, to communicate to foreigners, his pride in the beautiful views of his country. I'd argue that Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd. is war profiteering. And this statement is not a cultural product disseminated for free, but a crude attempt to secure these profits.
Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd. – War Profiteer
"War profiteering" doesn't have a definition in the dictionary. The word profiteering is defined as such in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary:
prof·i·teer noun \ˌprä-fə-ˈtir\
: one who makes what is considered an unreasonable profit especially on the sale of essential goods during times of emergency
— profiteer intransitive verb
My understanding of this definition is that if someone is making profits disproportionate to what is common on the market, by abusing scarcity of essential goods, he is considered a "profiteer". This is a strictly economical definition, which ignores political contexts with the undefined euphemism, "times of emergency". It begs the question: What is the reason for scarcity of essential goods?
"War" is one possible answer to this question. But then, we find that applying this answer to the above very limited definition of "profiteering" leaves certain aspects of Israel's military occupation of Palestine undefined. The situation in the Palestinian occupied territories is in fact that of a captive market (as been very clearly exemplified in the 2012 Who Profits "Captive Economy" report). However, there are additional aspects to Israel's colonization of the territory formerly known as Falastin, which exemplify the systematized profiting off of a "war-like" situation (pardon the euphemism). This form of profiting isn't necessarily disproportionate in the general market, and it doesn't necessarily trade in essential goods, but it undoubtedly makes its profits as a singular part in a whole system which is killing and abusing a defined group of people in a "war-like" situation. These people (pardon the euphemism) have taken upon themselves the task of defining this form of profiteering, how it serves the system and what it gains from these services rendered:
- Cultural product is commissioned by an official Israeli body or non-Israeli institution that serves Brand Israel or similar propaganda purposes.
- Product is funded by an official Israeli body, but not commissioned (no political strings).
- Event is partially or fully sponsored or funded by an official Israeli body or a complicit institution.
- Event or project promotes false symmetry or "balance".
As in the case of the so-called "Creative Community for Peace" (or the so-called "Think Tank", the Reut Institute), political statements of privately owned businesses and business-people, are not a non-profit, a-political, non-governmental, civil society endeavor, championing freedom of speech, and other civil liberties. The Israeli government, identifying the threat to its current policies of apartheid, executed via a military regime, is in tight contact with its cultural industry, and employs it in it's "nation branding campaign".
The Only Democracy in the Middle East: Shut Up and Eat Cake!
By the strict (with good reason) Who Profits criteria, Shuki Weiss is not profiteering off of Israel's occupation. However, I argue that Shuki Weiss, on his part, talking high and mighty of TheOnlyDemocracyInTheMiddleEast™, has everything to gain from the encroachment on civil liberties and freedom of speech, as exemplified in the Boycott Prohibition law.
For a businessman and corporation, which trades on cake rather than bread, without a doubt it's a matter of survival: If artists stop booking shows in Israel- his venue- he will be out of a job. But there is a choice of conscious that he can make, that judging from his statement, not only doesn't occur to him to mind, but is against his political agenda. Shuki Weiss can choose to:
- Refrain from participation in any form of academic and cultural cooperation, collaboration or joint projects with Israeli institutions;
- Advocate a comprehensive boycott of Israeli institutions at the national and international levels, including suspension of all forms of funding and subsidies to these institutions;
- Promote divestment and disinvestment from Israel by international academic institutions;
- Work toward the condemnation of Israeli policies by pressing for resolutions to be adopted by academic, professional and cultural associations and organizations;
- Support Palestinian academic and cultural institutions directly without requiring them to partner with Israeli counterparts as an explicit or implicit condition for such support.
So how could Weiss and capitalists like him be persuaded to act in at least 1, if not all 5, of the above mentioned PACBI criteria? I suppose we can start by translating this "radical speak" to the liberal language that Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd. professes:
In 2010, the UN Human Rights Council issued the "Protect, Respect and Remedy" Framework ("UN Framework"), "concerning the responsibilities of business in relation to human rights". The idea was basically that the state has a duty to protect human rights by making sure that corporations respect human rights:
The corporate responsibility to respect human rights means acting with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others, and addressing harms that do occur… It is a global standard of expected conduct acknowledged in virtually every voluntary and soft-law instrument related to corporate responsibility, and now affirmed by the Human Rights Council itself.
A company's responsibility to respect applies across its business activities and through its relationships with third parties connected with those activities—such as business partners, entities in its value chain, and other non-State actors and State agents. In addition, companies need to consider the country and local contexts for any particular challenges they may pose and how those might shape the human rights impacts of company
activities and relationships.
Shuki Weiss Promotion and Production Ltd. have actively participated in the infringements of human rights, by assisting the state of Israel in whitewashing its war crimes against the Palestinian people; co-opting human rights organizations (who should also be ashamed of themselves for selling human rights for a handful of hard candy) in a non-transparent interaction of offering bribes (who payed for this very political action?); [update 7.12.2013] attempting to bribe big name artists to break the boycott, assuming state propaganda rhetoric, which has a clear goal to distract attention from these violations in its communication with its business partners and clients; and willfully participating in parliamentary debates that aim to stifle the freedom of speech without protestation.
In TheOnlyDemocracyInTheMiddleEast™- which is a signatory on the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises- and its jurisdictions, there are no "effective grievance mechanisms" where "victims may seek redress" to this type of rights violations by a corporation, as the UN Framework stipulates. In fact, just by writing this article, I may be sued under the Boycott Prohibition Law.
This is exactly why Palestinian civil society took it upon itself to analyze and articulate these violations. And why it chose to appeal to the international community to boycott such companies and institutions. And why it chose to appeal to international cultural workers, not to be complicit in these violations, not to mention not to make a profit off of them.
This final paragraph goes out to international artists, many of whom are brand names, especially Shuki Weiss Production affiliated Marianne Faithfull, Mark Lanegan (who preformed in Israel for the second time in 2 years, just 2 days ago) and Depeche Mode, who will be preforming on 7th of may 2013: By preforming in Israel you are complicit in violations of human rights and you profit off of them. The UN Human Rights Council and international civil society calls on you to respect human rights.

Hi Tali
Good to see you still alive and kicking. I see that, somehow, Israel are the host nation for the 2013 Under 21 European Football Championship. Always did baffle me how Israel found itself in Europe. Convenient though as I'd be surprised if anyone else would play them.
Keep safe.

pabelmont says:
I think I "get it" about why you feel BDS is particularly suitably aimed at cultural targets. Some of these, at least, are close to the government and when such folk are hurt by BDS, their pain is likely to be reported particularly sharply to the government.
Just as insurance companies might (after the storm "Sandy") squawk in the USA about climate change enough to catch government ears, so Shuki Weiss might squawk about what settlements are doing to his business.
But, of course, if (as I believe) the purpose of BDS is to make every facet of Israeli society and economy feel pain until the settlements are rolled back or the occupation ended, then cultural targets of BDS are only a part of the story.
One thing about them, though — they do get a bit of press! And that helps BDS on all fronts. I mean, who reads about "Veolia"?

Dear Dr. Roach: About 23 years ago I received interferon for hepatitis C. It worked. Every year or so since then, I have been checked for the virus. Everything was fine until about a month ago, when my doctor informed me that my hepatitis C was back. He did one more test to confirm it. Otherwise, my liver is healthy, and my doctor said he would monitor it. What could I have done or taken for the hepatitis C to come back? -- Anon.
Dr. Roach: Hepatitis C is caused by a virus, usually transmitted through infected blood products. Treatment now is with a combination of medications, and is more effective than the interferon alone that was used in the past. Treatment is important in order to prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer, and people with hepatitis C need to avoid alcohol, be immunized against hepatitis A and B, and be careful in their diet, especially avoiding raw shellfish.
Hepatitis C that was undetectable for 23 years and then comes back is something I have never heard of. I spoke to an expert, who suggested either you were re-exposed or you had a very low level of infection that went undetected, and that either with time or by waning of the immune system, it showed up again. Only an expert, usually a gastroenterologist, should treat hepatitis C.
The booklet on hepatitis explains the three different kinds. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 503, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

EVA Foam
Hey, I've never used EVA foam before and I have some questions about it. First, how rigid would it be if I had 3 layers of 10mm EVA? Would it make a sturdy handle for something like the pyro's axe handle?
They call me Daddy Toby cos I dance like an old man

EVA comes in different densities. The denser it is, the more rigid, so the answer to this depends on what density of foam you're looking at in the first place. Layering them as you've suggested will make them even stronger.

Robert Morris' 1981-82 team had local flavor
College Football Videos
On Feb. 15, Robert Morris University will induct the 1981-82 men's basketball team into the university's Hall of Fame.
That Colonials squad, which was the first in school history to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, gets the distinction of being the first group to go into the university's Hall as a team.
The 1981-82 Colonials included three former area players, Tom Parks and John Russell of Belle Vernon Area and Skip Koskoski of Ringgold.
The induction ceremonies will be the centerpiece of Robert Morris University Alumni Basketball Weekend 2014, which includes invitations to all former Colonial players.
The event will coincide with a men's/women's doubleheader at the Sewall Center Arena. The women will take on Central Connecticut at 1 p.m. and the men will host Mount St. Mary's at 4 p.m.
The 1981-82 team will be inducted during halftime of the men's game and will be honored during a basketball alumni postgame reception at 6 p.m.
The Colonials went 17-13 that season and won the ECAC Metro Tournament Championship game to earn their berth.
RM nipped Long Island, 85-84, with Parks being named the MVP of the championship game.
In the NCAA Mideast Regional in Nashville, the Colonials lost to Bobby Knight-led Indiana, 94-62.
The starters on the 1981-82 team were Parks, Chipper Harris, Forest Grant, Paul Hensler and the late Greg Junk.
For Parks, who along with Russell played on BVA's 1978 WPIAL championship team, this won't be his first induction into RMU's Hall of Fame. However, it might be the most special.
"I was put into the Hall of Fame in 1993," said Parks. "But basketball's a team game. And to have the opportunity to go into the Hall with my teammates is something that is very, very special to me. It's quite an honor."
Parks, who works as a grocery broker near his home in Plantation, Fla., is looking forward to returning for the festivities.
"I do keep in touch with some of the guys now and then, but at our age you never know when it's the last time we will be able to see each other," he said. "I'm definitely looking forward to being there."
Russell, like Parks, is a 1978 BVA grad and was a junior on the 81-82 team. Today, he works for the Westmoreland County Water Authority.
Russell said what he remembers most about that year was after the Colonials were ousted from the tournament by Indiana, a visitor spoke to the team.
"Bobby Knight came into our locker room after the game and told us we had a good team," Russell said. "He told us we would be back, and he was right. We were right back (in the NCAA Tournament) the next year and won a game that time."
Russell said he is excited to see his old teammates.
"We were pretty tight," he said. "It will be nice to see my old buds. Those were some good times."
Koskoski, a 1979 Ringgold graduate, was a sophomore on the 81-82 team, but didn't play that season.
"I was red shirted because of a knee injury," Koskoski said. "I didn't need surgery and I probably could have come back late in January and played, but we all decided it was best I red shirt and have an extra year."
Koskoski, president of the Croatian Club in Donora, spent 23 years coaching college and high school basketball.
He said he has a lot of fond memories of his days playing at Robert Morris.
"Actually, the year after that was our best year in '82-83," he said. "That year, we not only got into the NCAAs, but we won the only tournament game in the school's history."
Robert Morris defeated Georgia Southern, 64-54.
Koskoski said it was special playing college basketball then because of how hard it was to get into the tournament.
"The only way we were getting in there was to win our tournament," Koskoski said. "It was special because you knew you earned it."
Looking back on that special season, Parks said it was just a case of "the light coming on for all of us at the same time."
Robert Morris had been a junior college just a few years earlier before jumping directly into Division I.
"We took our lumps for a while and for that one year, everything seemed to come together," he said.
