MK Ariel: IDF must stop enlisting homosexuals
1. America refuses gays in the army.
Is it enough to say"i am gay" to dodge the army?Just asking.
We must conduct ourselves in accordance with Jewish law. The Torah forbids homosexuality and demands that those who behave in such a manner be punished," he added.
3. @1 this year open homosexuals graduated from Westpoint!
so I think you are incorrect to even ask your question
4. MK Ariel 2 late we serve proudly!
G-d made me gay and it is perfectly ok with the IDF!
G-d made me gay! ,
5. Obviously never heard of Lawrence of arabia
Sarah B
6. Gay Officers will never leave their men behind
Alan ,
7. This is a joke or is he from Alabama
Baruch ,
8. Why should they serve then attend pride parades in uniform?
Let them make the choice, either they serve and keep their anti-Jewish hobbies to themselves, or they don't serve and get to go destroy their souls in debouched mardi gras and parties in Tel Aviv et al. Attending gay pride parades in uniform is an insult to Hashem, an insult to the "Jewish" character of the state and an insult to their fellow soldiers.
9. #4 G-d still forbids homosexual acts
Whatever, the IDF or psychologists say, G-d forbids homosexual acts. You and other gays may be really nice people but G-d still forbids homosexual acts whether society finds that fair or not.
Sam ,
10. The IDF picture was staged!
They took it 1 minute away from IDF spokesperson HQ. Actualy one of the soldiers on the pic is gay - the other one isnt ( or maybe he secretly desires to be one, but still doesnt wants to admit, but in any case maybe that was the reason he volunteered to hold hands with the gay soldier)
Pillow ,
11. if god doesnt wont so many gay act...
...ors why did he make so many of them? uri ariel disproves the adage that good military men make bad leaders. he was a crap commander and now hes a crap politician
oferdesade ,
12. maybe now the ultra-orthodox will step in...
to fill the vacancies?
Max ,
13. No, US lets in gays NOW, not formerly.
14. Don't Ask Don't Tell?
If you have ever Served in Any Military You Live In VERY CLOSE QUARTERS and if some people feel uncomfortable It is A Destraction Not Condusive For Combat? It this to Fricken Difficult to understand???? ברוך שם הא
15. it is not "anti-gay" rhetoric
This MK is allowed his opinion, even if it is difficult for the current, in-vogue masses that love and promote homosexuality. You are brainwashing our young and taking away their natural instincts of aversion to this perversion. It is a crime to force children and young adults to believe that their built -in reflex to protect themselves from homosexuality, is somehow wrong. Yu will never convince me, in a million years, that young male soldiers are comfortable sharing tight quarters and showers with gay men. They shouldn't have to and especially not in our Jewish army of Israel. As a Jewish mother, I will do everything in my power to see that it doesn't happen to my sons.

16. #12 Max
There's still a lot of cleaning up and airing out from that stench and other anti-Torah stuff before the ultra-orthodox will consider stepping in.
17. Ora #1
I'm sure many have corrected you by now but I'll add a few words. One: the USA now allows gays to serve openly in the military and for the past 20 years gays were allowed to serve as long as they didn't tell anyone they were gay. Two: What America discovered was that discrimination and witch hunts were more detrimental to military readiness than having homosexuals serve. Three: Uri like the right wing contingent in the USA would like to "punish" homosexuals. Your question and his statements prove that bigotry is alive well and flourishing in Israel. It is a sad and frankly disgusting turn of events.
Daniel ,

18. G-d forbids
G-d forbids lots of things in the bible. G-d forbids coveting your neighbors wife...it's one of the first laws...shall we toss all adulterers from the military and government? Breaking Shabbat is a capital offense shall we send all these people to gas chambers? Wearing blended fabrics is forbidden. Shall we burn down the stores that sell such items or even the malls that have such stores? Or shall we just pick and choose which laws G-d made need to be followed to maintain a Jewish identity in Israel. If people want to make Torah the law of the land then there is no picking and choosing. Carry out the laws as they are written. Kill those whose crimes are a capital offense to G-d and maim those whose crimes are less so. We can also return to animal sacrifice. Jews did it before the Temple was built we are required to do so under the Torah but prayer is a "substitute" Did the Torah define substitutes? If not are we breaking Torah law? If not why not?. The whole ridiculous thought that G-d hates homosexual acts more than all these other things proves only one thing. People are bigoted.

19. #8 Akiva a question of religion
It really is quite sad how in this day and age i read such posts and see that there is still such ignorance and blatent lies such as your posting. Being gay is not a choice or an alternative life style it is somebodys sexual orientation and nothing is going to change that despite what your so called religious education may have told you. Gay men and women have been serving in the army for years rising amongst the rants to positions of high command. You are an insult to all those gay men and women who have sacrificed their lives for this country so that people like you can live a peacefull life, you spit on their graves. A soldier who is gay has every right to march on the parade as he or she chooses, and if you dont like it well tough. Unlike the ultra orthdox who have been dodging the draft under the pretence of the Tal law, gay people have been serving their country fighting for freedom and democrcay with no problem what so ever, so keep your religious mumbo jumbo to the garbage bin where it belongs, who knows may be you will be blessed with a gay son.

20. Gays in the army
Gays are not different from any other Ultra orthodox will bring they % of gays as well Good if their is love gays also

21. The Gays Shot in Tel Avi
The Gays Shot in Tel Avi, was that according to G-d's law? If so why isn't being done and if not being done why are there people called jews? If Israel is not going to do it is it time for a new jewish state? Judah and Samaria is the WB and per Zech it is the govenors of Judah not the PM of Israel! Give the PA their state then buy it for the highend of $3.5 trillion. Just put off building the temple and bankrupting the world's paper currency for 20 years and I will be dead then do your thing. BUY THE WEST BANK AND BUILD AROUND THE ARABS THAT WILL NOT SELL. If you are G-d's people the another $3.5 trillion will come easy.

22. MK Uri Ariel betrayed the IDF
How strange that MK Uri Ariel is now lecturing about morality in the IDF, Since he was found guilty of giving away secret information on IDF movement and activities to the Hill Top youth movement endangering the lifes of IDF personell. The man is a bigoted homophobe and should be tried for treason. Incidently : Netta Weintstein, a lecturer at the University of Essex, said: 'Individuals who identify as straight but in psychological tests show a strong attraction to the same sex may be threatened by gays and lesbians because homosexuals remind them of similar tendencies within themselves'. They say some homophobes who have not accepted their true sexuality may feel the urge to hit out at homosexuals who fear might bring their repressed desires to the surface. its all becoming quite clear...
Haim ,
23. No Gays in IDF. Good for Ariel. He is
totally correct. Look at the US Military - atotal MESS.
TA Israel
24. #17: Why is Ora's question bigotry?
She is merely asking a good question in defense of gay rejection into the Military. If the military rejects gays, all one needs to do is claim to be gay in order to get out of it.
Israeli 2
25. dont do things the obama way and we will be fine
We cannot stop homosexuals serving especially as its NATIONAL SERVICE and they need to serve same as everybody otherwise we will have every draft dodger in the country saying they are gay so they won't get asked to serve. What we should not do though is go the Obama route and say be proud to be gay and open about it. We should just stick to a policy of don't ask don't tell. Its not an ideal solution but its one which will leave everybody content except the politically correct brigade and gay rights campaigners.
zionist forever
26. Let the Hasids do the fighting
Let the Hasids do the fighting instead.

27. Maybe he has funny feelings and uses hatred to hide them.
Bunnie Meyer ,
Los Angeles, CA USA
28. There should be a motion carried to remove his immunity
And try him for discrimination. Antisemites in the past have used religion as a backing and cause for their hatred, and this person does the same. Disgusting. What's disgusting as well is how he uses Judaism to back himself.
29. Very smart!
Yes, do that Mr. Ariel and half of the population who is not interested in serving the army will allegedly say they're gay during the interview at the Liskaot HaGiyus country wide. Very smart!
Yehudah ,
30. The IDF should enlist those vwho are able to serve
What happened to "don't ask don't tell"? A person's sexual orientation has nothing to do with his/her ability to serve in the army so long as they don't flaunt it.

Is the UK losing its taste for turbines?- By Charlotte Stubben
Yesterday, the Guardian published an article about political shifts causing investors to doubt Britain's commitment to wind.
Quietly shelved plans for windfarms
According to the Guardian, the government and energy industry have quietly shelved plans for windfarms equivalent to four large traditional coal and nuclear power stations, amid growing public and political anger over the cost and sight of the turbines.
In a report by the Electricity Networks Strategy Group (ENSG), the regulator Ofgem, and leading industry investors, estimates that 28.3GW of onshore and offshore wind power may have been built by 2020.
The estimate has fallen by 4GW in the two years since its last forecast.
Read the article Windfarms axed as UK loses its taste for turbines in the Guardian.
The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Edward Davey, commented on the article in the Guardian.
A responsible energy policy
"A responsible energy policy for this country is one that rules IN all of the key low carbon technologies to help us keep the lights on and emissions down.
Read more: Siemens presents onshore innovations at WindEnergy Trade Fair
"Ruling any of them OUT would be folly. It would mean one less way of cutting our dependence on imported gas, one less way of cutting our carbon emissions. And it would hit consumers where it hurts.
The cheapest of the renewables
"Onshore wind is the cheapest of the renewables – in fact we've already proposed cutting the subsidy to reflect falling costs.
"Abandoning it now would force us to rely more heavily than envisaged on offshore wind before that becomes cheaper, adding a further £5 to every annual household bill by the middle of the decade.
Read more: Green light for be £1.5 billion offshore wind farm
"Built in the right places, and with the benefits for local communities we're introducing, onshore wind has a crucial role to play.
"We need a portfolio of all the available technologies and the investment and jobs that comes with it. That's what the coalition is united behind and it's what MPs from all parties voted overwhelmingly in favour of last year."

We are all familiar with the design motto "Less is more". When design is optimized to have no more than the fundamentals or what is needed, it can transcend beyond the norm reflecting purity, simplicity and cleanliness. Minimalism though simple and unadorned, is not boring, but can be very attractive and achieve beautiful results.
In this article, we explore the minimalism in the context of wallpaper designs. Particularly, minimalist color and monochrome wallpapers. A minimalist color scheme is normally limited to 2 or at most 3 colors, while monochrome is having only one color represented by differing hues, tints and shades. Minimalist wallpaper designs are good desktop backgrounds because they are relaxing to look at and gives you less clutter on your desktop.
So here they are, 33 free beautiful minimalist color and monochrome wallpapers for everyone. Hope you enjoy it!

I need your brains please. We are moving and looking to keep our nanny. We love her, as does Oli. Our new home is farther from my work so I need her to start at 8am instead of 8:30am (5 days a week)
Additionally, she will be driving farther as our new place is an extra 10 miles from her house (which in LA with traffic is like an extra 20 mins).
She is paid $15/hour. Regular gas on average is $3.99/gallon. What do you think is a fair increase? Is an extra $40 too much? Too little?
Thank you!

South Beach Diet, Day 2: Lunchables for middle-aged women
Here's a picture of today's South Beach lunch: one of their Sesame Chicken wrap sandwich kits. It's like a Lunchables for grownups, with enough food for a toddler.
But it does have a whopping 21 grams of protein and a crazy 15 grams of fiber, so in theory it should keep me full. We'll see. It tasted OK.
Good thing I brought along extra sugar-free Jell-O.

I want all of Foster Road to be great. But there is a very real risk that after all of the planning for Foster is complete, only part of it will be great.
From 52nd to 82nd, the neighborhood representatives seem to know what their neighbors want, and they seem to know how to get there.
- They want the neighbors to be feel safe walking across the street.
- They want their main-street businesses to prosper and thrive.
- They want safer travel for everyone who uses Foster.
For them the 3-lane arterial design gets them all of that. To be sure, not all of our neighbors agree, but the general theme I've heard is that the benefits are worth the costs.
But beyond 82nd, there is no similarly clear vision from the Lents committee members. There is no agreement for what Foster should be, and no unified idea for how to get there.
So it might just be left alone.
I'm sure the representatives of Lents want the same things as their western neighbors. They want healthy neighborhoods, prosperous businesses, and safe streets. But not all of them view the 3-lane arterial design as the way to do that.
But then what? Three lanes west of 82nd and four lanes east of 82nd will only exaggerate the barrier that 82nds presents and strengthen the divide between our neighborhoods.
Three lanes west of 82nd, four lanes east of 82nd would mean:
- a safer Foster west of 82nd, and hazardous Foster east of 82nd.
- a quieter, cleaner Foster west of 82nd and a louder, dirtier Foster east of 82nd.
- a more neighborhood friendly Foster west of 82nd, and a more highway style Foster east of 82nd.
But if three lanes are carried through all the way to 90th (and potentially beyond), Lents has the chance to realize some concrete benefits:
- A full sized sidewalk, removing or reducing a current burden on redevelopment in the corridor.
- Full rows of street trees along a street where the only things on the sidewalk today are telephone poles.
- A connected bike lane spanning the entirety of Lents and beyond in both directions.
- A safer street for pedestrian crossings at all points along the street.
Given the very real potential of transformative changes west of 82nd, I think leaving Foster alone east of 82nd would be a missed opportunity. With this project we have the chance to unify neighborhoods and improve the street across all of the Foster neighborhoods. Lets hope we take it.
The next Advisory Committee meeting for the project will be Thursday July 25th from 6-8 pm at SE Works (79th & Foster). The meetings are open to the public and public testimony is welcome at the tail end of the meeting, usually around 7:45.
Three committee members out of 20 directly represent Lents issues on the committee. One of them is representative of businesses in Lents, Jeff Bieker of Assurety Northwest. Two of them represent community organizations: Adam Simmons (adam @ lentscreative.com) represents the Lents Urban Renewal Advisory Commitee (along with alternate Cora Potter (cora @ ilovelents.com)), and Nick Christensen (nick @ ilovelents.com) represents the Lents Neighborhood Association. If you are a Lents resident and want to have your voice heard, please contact the members that are here to represent you and let them know your thoughts.
I'm on the committee and I'm always interested to talk about this stuff, so feel free to drop me a line too: firstname.lastname@example.com

In a meeting Thursday, Pueblo County Commissioners agreed to press the Colorado Congressional Delegation on the issue of expanding the Pinon Canyon maneuvering site.
Opponents of the Army's expansion plan gathered at the meeting to voice their concerns.
"This is the most important thing that we've ever done in our lives," says Mack Louden, fourth-generation rancher.
Louden is fighting to preserve the generations of family ranches in the area proposed for army expansion.
"We want to hold our heritage, we want to hold the things that we value," says Louden.
The anticipated expansion could include precious sites that, in these ranchers' eyes, are priceless.
In a written statement, Lt. Col. Jim Rice of Fort Carson, says:
"We will continue to look for more amiable solutions to mitigate the concerns of residents living near the PCMS whom could be potentially impacted by a proposed expansion. This is also a time to open lines of communication with the general public to provide information and receive public request for information."

Real Economy Bites Housing Bubble 2
Wolf Richter www.testosteronepit.com www.amazon.com/author/wolfrichter
When the home-sales curve kinked south last fall, soothsayers had some handy reasons: The fiscal cliff, the threat of a government shutdown, and the potential government default that no one took seriously made home buyers uncertain. The jump in mortgage rates in reaction to the Fed's taper cacophony? Homebuyers would get used to them, soothsayers mused.
By December, it was water under the bridge, but home sales dropped through the winter. Polar vortices were convenient excuses, though in the West, the weather was gorgeous. Then the spring buying season came around when the mood was supposed to perk up, but sales were still dropping.
Beneath the smoothened headline statistics, a darker scenario was playing out: this year through April, sales of the most expensive 1% of homes have soared 21% year over year, while sales in the bottom 99% – a sign of our times that the twisted term, bottom 99%, has become the norm – have dropped 7.6%. In numerous cities, sales at the lower end of the market have plunged, for example by 46% for homes below $200,000 in San Diego. Low inventories were cited as excuse, but inventories in many cities have been rising, which sent the industry scrambling unsuccessfully for fresh excuses [read.... Housing Bubble 2 Already Collapsing for the 99%].
Even Fed Chair Janet Yellen was suddenly concerned about the housing market. Which is ironic. The Fed wanted to create this very situation. And it succeeded with QE and ZIRP that made unlimited amounts of essentially free short-term money available to private-equity firms, REITs, and other large investors that then plowed it into the housing market and gobbled up vacant homes. It started in earnest in early 2012, and with connivance of the banks that were carrying many of these vacant homes on their books, they managed to drive up prices.
It didn't take long. From January 2012 to April 2014, the median price of existing homes soared 30% and over the same period, the median price of new homes jumped 24%. In February 2013, new homes set new all-time highs, beating the prior peak-of-the-bubble price set in March 2007. And in many cities, including San Francisco, the median price of existing homes has already shot past prior bubble highs.
Other measures of home prices come up with different figures, but the trends are the same: home prices have jumped.
What hasn't jumped? Incomes. According to Sentier Research, which uses data from the monthly Current Population Survey, median household income, adjusted for inflation, in April was $52,959 – 4.2% lower than at the official end of the Great Recession in June 2009, 5.9% lower than in December 2007 before the bottom fell out, and 7.0% lower than in January 2000.
With its strategy of throwing free money at Wall Street, the Fed has carefully selected the winners: among them, Wall Street players and banks that would buy or already owned vacant homes. To defend its actions, the Fed assiduously points out that homeowners were winners too.
On paper. Homes are worth more, and homeowners feel richer. But how can they profit from this "wealth?" They could draw cash out of it by borrowing more against their home, but that's not profit. That's leverage. Or they could sell the home to pocket the price increase. Alas, unless they want to move to Detroit or live in a tent, they're going to end up buying a home whose price has also been inflated – at a similar rate if it's in the same neighborhood – and the "profits" from the sale, and the illusory "wealth effect," will dissipate in the inflated cost of the new home.
And now some of the Fed's chosen losers were tabulated in the MacArthur Foundation's How Housing Matters Survey. Turns out, the inflated cost of housing, in combination with the lack of pay increases, has turned into an affordability crisis, which is killing the housing market.
In order to stay current on their rent or mortgage, 52% of all adults in America over the last three years had to do at least one of these things: take an additional job or work more hours; stop saving for retirement, pile up credit card debt, cut back on healthy foods, or slash health-care spending.
For these people – over half of the adult population! – housing costs consume a disproportionate part of their incomes. They're barely scraping by: 47% of the homeowners and 56% of the renters reported that their housing situation wasn't "stable and secure."
Rising housing costs make their problems worse. An increasing number of them can't afford to buy a decent home at current prices. Since they represent a big part of the population, not just a few unlucky ones, home sales take a hit.
Affordability, like the rest of real estate, is local. In numerous cities, the mere word has become an insider joke. For example, in San Francisco, people with low six-figure incomes are struggling to find a halfway decent apartment they can buy and have enough money left over to commute to work and buy groceries. And those making $40,000? Well, maybe they can find, after a long wait, a taxpayer subsidized apartment. But that isn't a solution either.
So it's surprising that the Fed would express concern about the housing market. It knowingly created that monster. I wrote about the ascent of Housing Bubble 2, and what role Wall Street played in it, for the first time in March 2013 and I've writing about it ever since. I don't have access to the voluminous data, brain power, and resources the Fed has. I'm just a guy who likes a good craft brew after battling it out all day. But even to me, it was clear at the time. Yet since then, the Fed has printed another $1 trillion, and ZIRP is still the relentless law of the financial land, all in order to inflate asset prices beyond recognition – including home prices.
But unlike some other assets, housing is still rooted in the real economy – a link the Fed never could sever, though it severed the link between stocks and the economy with surgical precision. When real folks cannot afford to buy, sales decline everywhere except at the top, anxiety spreads, and even many of the lucky ones who bought their home years ago can no longer afford to move: they can sell, but they can't afford to buy the next home whose inflated price has to be financed with higher mortgage rates. This is what the Fed has wrought by "fixing" the housing market.
The equation might not have gone so horribly awry if each class of college graduates had seen their incomes skyrocket in line with their student debt. Ha! Read.... This Chart Is The Fate of Housing In America As Student Loans Bankrupt A Whole Generation

What do "they" care. Their properties are increasing in value all the time! Who has POWER by the balls? Who is cementing that power? Who is guarding against you becoming, aware, organized, motivated, or effective in any way?You are sliding deeper into a dissapointed, negative, cynical, funk. You are dissapated, eviscerated, weak, feminized. You celebrate stupidity. You worship the chains that bind you.
The first thing you do is sign the petition at Common Cause:
My property taxes went up. I feel so rich now.
Bravo, thank you.
Enjoyed the linked article on student loan debt too.
"Unsustainable" is the word for it all, but I'm pretty sure that is the purpose of the FED.
"Or they could sell the home to pocket the price increase. Alas, unless they want to move to Detroit or live in a tent, they're going to end up buying a home whose price has also been inflated – at a similar rate if it's in the same neighborhood – and the "profits" from the sale, and the illusory "wealth effect," will dissipate in the inflated cost of the new home."
Right on. Sounds like the UK in the 00s. The sole conversation in the pubs and at dinner invites were people bragging about how their property had doubled in "value" in 5 years but it was all monopoly money- only way to cash in was to sell the fucker and move to the Algarve or Brittany. Trouble was there were no jobs in the Algarve or Brittany. One game that worked for a time was to live in 1 property but buy 2 more and flip those or rent one out. Sometimes that didn't work too well either.
One reason house prices stay high is b/c of EZ Money. True, you also have a flood of laundered money tsunami-ing our shores. The title closing lady down the block say sshe even sees Nigerian college students buying 2-3 houses at a time with money wired in to the kids bank account here from their 'parents' in Nigeria. She said," we're not allowed to ask questions."
How long will this continue?
Das ist eine gute Frage.
I have an idea, to help out the 99% a little more, let's convert home prices to shares. Then we can buy back shares in our own houses, a little at a time, to make the value go up even more!!!
No whining allowed when in 5 years your home is under water. You have been forwarned.
I own a house and I have two roommates (who are a couple). They live with me because they're friends and they were down on their luck while I was doing pretty well. Now, they're not so down on their luck and they would like to have a place with just the two of them, but the rental market and housing market have gotten so expensive that if they were to move out they'd be living hand to mouth.
Before, they had a bunch of debt that was stopping them from moving on - now that the debt is mostly cleared out it's price that's stopping them. It seems that if a person doesn't already have a bunch of money and assets, then that person just can't get any money or assets. What a backwards-ass place we live in.
It's Bush's fault, since it's happening during the ObowelMovement.......both parties are the same, that's why the media schills for the Democrap Party only, right liberTARDian voters?
Has the Socialist Semite democrat Media ever blamed Obama for anything?
And then there's this guy.

F3 + Monteseel = a dry mouth
Posted by Gavin Raubenheimer on May 19, 2014
Gerald took the biggest lob so far of his nine month old climbing career and I caught my first ever leader fall. The year was 1986 and we were learning fast what F3 at Monteseel was all about.

Volume by Test Collective: Eco Storage for Your Vinyl Records
Posted By Lea Stewart On May 22, 2009 @ 4:30 pm In Design,Green Furniture,icff 2009,Innovation,New York Design Week 2009,NY Design Week 2009,Sustainable Materials | 2 Comments
When we first spotted this lovely piece by Test Collective [2] at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair [3], we were quite taken with the streamlined form and minimalistic look. The unit is aptly named Volume, because of its generous size and because it considers the storage, display, and celebration of vinyl records [4] – a unique sole-purpose for a piece of furniture which we found intriguing! While we certainly applaud the use of Corian [5] and bamboo, we think it is equally important to point out that the concept behind the piece – collecting old LPs instead of purchasing new CDs – is just as sustainable as the materials, making Volume all the more appealing to green music-lovers.
Test Collective, a full service design studio which started as a collaboration between Los Angeles [6] based environmental designer Chris Adamick [7] and Brooklyn based designer Piotr Woronkowinz [8] believes that "vinyl records now represent an auditory and visual delicacy rather than an outdated technology." Chris adds that they wanted this piece to recognize the act of listening to music. And since he recently became a LEED [9] AP for New Construction, we can certainly feel good about the knowledge of sustainable materials that goes into Test Collective's designs.
All of Test Collective's pieces are handmade in the US, including the Facet table we admired from their ICFF booth in 2008 [10]. You might want to think about picking up the table as a complimentary piece to Volume, since it is also made of bamboo and Corian [5]. Ordering is available through the Test Collective website [11] with a six week lead time.

Dubai's DFM unveils new steps to boost liquidity
DFM says new index rules to boost liquidity; Unified price band set for all listed stocks; Bourse to remove 5 pct limit for non-active stocks.
December 26, 2010 1:50 by Reuters
Bourse operator Dubai Financial Market (DFM) will cut the weight of single stocks in the index and adopt a unified price band as part of fresh steps to boost liquidity and better mirror market activity.
DFM, the Arab world's only publicly listed exchange, said in a statement on Sunday that the maximum weight of a single stock will be lowered to 20 percent from 25 percent currently and it will also limit the percentage of free float shares at 20 percent of the less traded stocks.
The bourse will remove the current 5 percent up and down limit for non-active stocks, like lender Emirates NBD and investment bank Shuaa Capital, to enhance trading activity.
Effective Jan. 2, 2011, all listed securities in the bourse will be grouped under one category and trade at a 15 percent upside limit and 10 percent downside limit for a single trading session.
Builder Emaar Properties holds a 20 percent weightage in the index and is the most actively traded stock in the index, while Dubai Islamic Bank has a 12.6 percent weightage according to the bourse.
In September, DFM said it will switch to a "delivery versus payment" (DVP) system by the first-quarter of 2011, in a bid to get emerging market status from index compiler MSCI.
Last year, DFM bought Nasdaq OMX's one-third stake in sister bourse, Nasdaq Dubai, with the two markets switching to a single trading platform and synchronised opening hours in a bid to bolster declining turnover.
Dubai's index is down about 9.6 percent so far this year and slumping volumes in the emirate has forced many brokerages to close operations amid slumping revenues.

The big release patch is finally done. The most significant changes in this patch is the new seasons system, the ability to finally craft the Rusted Armour and all of the massive bug fixes for multiplayer (which finally allow you to do combat with animals).
The full changelog for this release is available here. It's a bit too long to post here unfortunately but the major highlights are below.
Major highlights
A new seasons system has been added. This system will include all four seasons and will have season-specific effects on both your world and your character. In winter, the days are shorter, trees die faster and your temperature goes down a lot faster. During spring time there's an increased chance of rain meaning faster crop growth among other things. Throughout summer you'll experience longer days and your temperature will go up a lot faster. Finally during autumn trees will begin to die and pumpkins will begin to grow.
Another massive addition is the ability to finally put together the Rusted Armour and Rusted Blade. These were added in both 0.6.0 as rare chest drops. Now, you can craft them by dragging one of the required pieces onto an anvil. If you have the other pieces (the other two in the case of the blade and the other three in the case of the armour) then the item will be crafted.
But that's not all! There's loads of major bug fixes for multiplayer and singleplayer too (with a focus on multiplayer though). The result of these fixes are a much better multiplayer experience as well as the ability to finally do combat with animals and other NPCs.
Thanks for all the support throughout the development process. Crawle was our first commercial project and we feel like we've learned a lot about pretty much everything over the two years we've been working on it. We hope you all enjoy this release!
Crawle 1.0.0 is finally finished! We'll be releasing the patch on Tuesday. To celebrate, the game will be on sale for 50% off until Tuesday.
In short, the patch is almost ready! The main stuff is all ready - the seasons system is working in both singleplayer and multiplayer and you can now...
A summary of the plans for the release patch: a new seasons system, world customisation options and the ability to finally craft the Rusted Blade/Armour.
The main focus of 0.9.0 was two new features. The new temperature system along with the new Quivers system. There's also a few quality-of-life changes...

Sorry but I don't believe this game is worth paying for.
I'd go into detail if you want me too.
Well yes an explanation would be useful. It's pretty silly to post something like that on a game's page without any explanation.
these controls are not intuitive. i'll i've managed to do is take off my clothes and get mauled by a brown four-legged animal which i assume is a bear.
I'm sorry but if I put any more tips in there the game would be crushing your hand, simple as. There's plenty of in-game tips and tutorials.
I need some help. I bought the game and when I installed it and played it for the first time, it said version 0.5.1. DEMO. I tried to update using the patcher file, but it doesn't work, it keeps saying I have the most recent version.
Get rid any traces of the game by uninstalling it, doing a cleanup, etc and then reinstall the full game. It's probably because you already had the demo installed.
That was it, thanks much!
For whatever reason, when the tips are appearing at the start of the game, they are severely zoomed in to the point that I can only see part of the words. I'm not sure what is causing this.
Report it here: http://sleepystudios.com/bugs and make sure you leave a screenshot too.
I don't know when i tried out this game but since then i got like these errors every time my pc starts and when im trying to install something: "number (685) is missing DLL (iertutil.dll)" any idea about how to fix it? :( please help me asap!
restore your PC to a point before you did ran the game installer
Find that DLL on the net download and place it in the correct folder.
ps - IE normally causes this error did you update that around the same time? if so re install it.
I really doubt that was Crawle's doing.

I did really well on the World History Fair project although; it made me concentrate on just the World History Fair not thinking of anything else. I made lots of memories playing with my friends, the field trips, and the activities we did. I felt that I relax more this year not focusing on my academics as much. I should try getting straight A's next year. If you ask my advice, try to listen carefully and be open minded so you don't focus only on one huge project. Also, always listen when projects are due and how important it is. For example: the project may be so important that if you don't turn it in, it's a zero pulling your grade down.

Prior to Department of Defense budget cut talks, the Marine Corps planned to reduce troops from 202,000 to 186,800 to accommodate a post-war Marine Corps. Due to budget changes and the planned withdrawal from Afghanistan, however, that number has been cut to 182,100 Marines, reducingthe ranks by 19,900 men and women.
The force reduction will take place over the next four years. The Marine Corps will reduce its active-duty strength by about 5,000 Marines per year from across the Marine Air-Ground Task Force.
Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos has stressed that the resulting force of 182,100 Marines will retain the capacity and capability to support current and possible crisis response operations through rotational deployments.
"We will maintain readiness, and will not have a hollow force, like following Vietnam," said Lt. Gen. Richard P. Mills, deputy commandant for Combat Development and Integration. "It will be a smaller, but still lethal force."
The Marine Corps has been through similar reductions in the past.
A quick look in American history shows when a major military conflict occurs a boost in troops is necessary. Similarly, a reduction is necessary after the conflict. After World War II, Marine personnel were reduced from 475,000 to just 75,000 by the end of 1950.
Likewise, after Desert Storm in 1991, troop numbers dropped 23,000 to 174,000 by the end of 1994.
Currently, about 70 percent of Marines are serving in their first enlistment and about 75 percent of all Marines do not re-enlist for a second term of service. The fact that the Marine Corps cycles about 35 thousand Marines a year helps ensure no one is forced out.
Marines leaving the Corps will still receive adequate time and assistance for transition. They will be set up for success to provide the nation with veteran Marines who are fine, productive and loyal citizens.
"The commandant has put a tremendous amount of effort into the transition program," Mills said. "This move will make their life much easier as they go out the door and will ensure they get the skills and networking they need to get out."
For Marines looking to make a career in the Corps, this means tougher competition for promotion and retention, but Marines will be allowed to complete their current contracts. Those who desire to stay in the Corps will need to bring their "A Game" every day, Mills said.
The current policy allowing staff sergeants and above as well as majors and above to make it to retirement will stay the same.
The Corps is offering temporary early retirement to Marines with 15-20 years of service in certain specialties and grades. Those who get an early out this way will receive a pension of 32.5 – 43 percent of their base pay.
A few of the tools the Corps will use to help shape the force are:
- Early Discharge Authority – Enlisted Marines may be discharged within one year before the expiration of their enlistment. Officers with less than six years of active commissioned service may receive a 180-day early discharge.
- Voluntary Separation Pay – Certain Marines with more than six years active duty may receive payment upon separation.
- Temporary Early Retirement – Provides authority to voluntarily retire Marines with 15 to 20 years of service.
The involuntary force reduction tools such as enlisted retention boards and lower promotion opportunities are only required if voluntary losses are not sufficient.
What Marines need to do to help their cause:
- Be proactive in addressing their future
- Go to Transition Assistance Management Program whether planning to get out or not
- Ensure records are accurate
- Ensure training, Professional Military Education and other standards are met
- Prepare for boards (promotion, career design, etc.)
- Apply for re-enlistment at first opportunity
- Improve PFT and CFT scores
- Stay motivated

Concerto in A Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Arranged by Brian Slawson. Mallet Sextet. For glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, 2 small marimbas (4 octaves), 4.3 octave (low A) marimba. NOTE: Two marimba players can also share a 4.3 octave (low A) marimba if instruments are limited (6 players). "Allegro" from Concerto for 4 Harpsichords & Strings (BWV 1065) mallet sextet from "Bach on Wood". Medium-Advanced. Score and parts on CD-ROM. 10 pages. Duration 2'30". Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE-31). Harpsichord concertos were written throughout the Baroque era, particularly by J.S. Bach. This "Allegro" from Bach's Concerto for 4 Harpsichords & Strings (BWV 1065), however, is based on Vivaldi's, Concerto for 4 Violins in B minor, RV 580. For one composer to "borrow" material from another during Bach's time was considered a flattering gesture. Mallet instruments have much in common with the attack and decay properties of harpsichords, making arrangements such as this a natural choice. Slawson's orchestrations bring this piece further to life and it will make an excellent addition to the repertoire of any percussion ensemble wishing to highlight a Baroque selection for only mallet instruments. This arrangement for Concerto in A Minor has been heard worldwide on the popular CD, Bach on Wood which helped garner Brian Slawson a Grammy nomination of "Best New Classical Artist." This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-Rom containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.

Concert Percussion Ensembles. Medium-Advanced. Full score and CD-Rom (containing printable parts). 24 pages. Duration 4'00". Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE-13). This percussion ensemble arrangement of Verdi's famed overture to "La Forza del Destino" ("The Force of Destiny") makes for a very exciting piece that explores the classical music possibilities of the modern percussion ensemble. It can be performed with 13 or 14 players and would work equally well in a concert performance, or in an indoor "arena style" performance. "La Forza" provides a wonderful opportunity to perform and discuss the format and form of an opera overture. The piece incorporates several musical styles that range from fast and technically demanding passages to lyrical, sustained melodies.

Oklahoma police officers lose jobs over steroids
Police officers lose jobs over steroids
They bulk up with drug to gain the upper hand on the streets
Published 6:30 am, Saturday, February 5, 2005
So he began bulking up with steroids.
Now Holden, 31, is out of work, one of four members of the Norman Police Department who were fired last fall after being accused of using or selling bodybuilding steroids.
Police officers in Mississippi, Ohio, Connecticut, Hawaii, Colorado, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas and New York also have been accused of steroid-related offenses in recent years. In many cases, they were charged with using, possessing or dealing steroids.
Steroids are attractive to some officers who know that an intimidating physique can ward off conflict or give them the upper hand in a life-or-death struggle.
"The thinking is that big is better than small, tough is better than weak," said Gene Sanders, a former police officer who has worked for nearly 15 years as a police psychologist for several agencies in California.
"There is sort of an underground, unspoken tradition among several departments that I've worked with that if you really want to bulk up, this is the best way to do it."
However, steroids also can lead to heart disease, liver damage and shrunken testicles, as well as uncontrolled aggression, or "roid rage," which can be especially dangerous in a law officer.
Oklahoma Highway Patrolman Nikky Green was shot to death on a rural road in 2003. Investigators say the killer wrestled Green's gun away from him and shot him with it.
"I wanted to physically prepare myself as much as I could and have the confidence to do my job," Holden said. "I took anabolic steroids so that I would be stronger. If I got into a fight, I felt I stood a better chance of surviving. I wanted to go home when my shift was over."
