The Gaither Vocal Band is a Grammy Award-winning powerhouse gospel music quintet featuring an all-star lineup of voices including the renowned Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, David Phelps, Michael English and Mark Lowry. They are touring in support of their newest CD, Pure and Simple, released in September 2012. Over the past three decades, they have been ranked at the top of the list for concert tickets sold worldwide in any music genre with hits including "Few Good Men," "The King is Coming" and "Can't Stop Talking About Him."
The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in 1981 by bassist Bill Gaither, who has earned seven Grammy Awards, more than two dozen Gospel Music Association Dove Awards and was named Songwriter of the Century in 2000 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Their first album, "Wings," debuted in 1988. They have since released nearly 30 other albums of soul stirring gospel music and become known for their powerhouse vocals and innovative harmonies.
Sixteen men have comprised the Gaither Vocal Band throughout their 30 year existence. Current members include Gaither, multiple Dove Award-winning lead singer Michael English, tenor Wes Hampton (a key contributor to the Gaither Vocal Band's 2008 Grammy Award-winning album "Lovin' Life"), baritone and 13 year member Mark Lowry and tenor David Phelps, who was nominated for the Gospel Music Association's 2002 Male Vocalist of the Year. In 2011, their worldwide tour included more than 50 tour dates across the United States, plus international appearances in Europe, South America and South Africa. Their 2013 tour will visit more than two dozen cities including Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Minneapolis.

Security is important to any organization, especially those with valuable resources including customer financial or personal information. A growing number of companies are improving their security responsiveness by deploying fleets of electric vehicles backed by battery handling equipment.Why Use Golf Carts?The small electric vehicles that used to be seen only on golf courses are in great demand at any facility to large to walk. For security forces, the ability to reach the site of an incident or suspicious activity can save the company countless dollars by deterring theft or vandalism.Standard cars or trucks have a number of disadvantages over golf carts. They spew toxic gasses which make them unusable indoors and a danger to the environment when used outdoors. Refueling means either a long drive to a service station or keeping volatile fuel on site. They are more expensive and, although that higher price buys size and speed, those extra features aren't needed for the short local trips security personnel will be making. Facility protection is far better served by a fleet of electric vehicles than a fleet of traditional gasoline or natural gas vehicles.Keeping Electric Vehicles ChargedOne downside to electric vehicles is the refueling. A car can be refueled in minutes but batteries takes hours to be recharged. This doesn't have to be a problem since battery handling equipment can replace a drained batteries with fully charged ones in the same time it takes to fill a gas tank. Batteries are removed safely with much less chance of worker injury than removing them by hand. A new power cell is put in the vehicle and the old one is moved to a recharging site.The money invested in a battery management system will quickly be made up by more efficient fleet operations. Companies can operate with smaller fleets since no vehicle has to be taken out of service for recharge. Less time is lost replacing batteries, and fewer worker injuries means less company liability costs.Making A PlanTo get the most from battery handling equipment, create a schedule of replacements and rules to govern vehicle movement in and out of the replacement area. Servicing all vehicles at shift changes means big traffic jams as everyone comes in at once. Staggering the replacements throughout the day leads to quicker processing of each vehicle.Think carefully about the location of the battery handling equipment. The first instinct might be to put it in some out of the way location, but that increases drive time for each vehicle. Putting the battery storage systems and handling equipment in a central location or near the vehicle parking area ensures quick transitions. Make sure paths leading in and out of the area are always kept clear so vehicles can move in and out without getting in each other's way.Improve security responsiveness by investing in a fleet of electric vehicles and battery handling equipment before your next security incident.

The Italian forward has been successful in his bid to reduce the three-match ban imposed on him for verbally abusing a match official against FiorentinaAC Milan's Mario Balotelli has had his three-match suspension reduced to two games but will still miss Sunday's clash with Juventus.
The striker was booked for the fourth time this season in the 2-2 draw with Fiorentina, meaning he was given an automatic one-match suspension, but was slapped with an additional two-game ban for verbally abusing an assistant referee.
But a successful appeal means he will now be banned for a game less and having already served one of the suspended matches, he will return for the Serie A game against Catania, though missing this weekend's clash with Juventus.
The Italian Football Federation issued the following statement:
"AC Milan's appeal against the sanction of disqualification for three days of actual competition imposed on Mario Balotelli following the game between Fiorentina and AC Milan on April 7 has been partially successful, as a result, the penalty will be reduced to a two-game ban with a combined fine of 20,000 euros."
The Italy striker has scored 10 goals in 11 games for club and country in 2013.

"Never Too Late: Your Roadmap to Reinvention (without getting lost along the way)" by Claire Cook is her first foray into the nonfiction/self help genre, although it still manages to read a lot like a novel. In this book, she shares stories from not only her own life, but from the lives of others who, like her, have reinvented themselves.
The recounting of her own reinvention alternates with the story of her visit to Isla Mujeres in Mexico for a women's conference. Cook was the keynote speaker. At this conference for women and created by women, she met many fascinating people who had dared to follow their dreams and who are now living a life they had not thought possible. The book actually is comprised of four intertwined parts: Claire Cook and her metamorphosis; women who have influenced her or taken charge of their lives; her time at the women's conference and what she learned there; and, perhaps most importantly, practical, enlightening, virtually step-by-step advice for effective -- and successful -- occupational and personal reinvention.
Cook informs the reader that she had planned on being a writer from a very early age. Yet when confronted with the challenging realities of life, that's not what happened. It was only when she was 45 years old that she realized it was time to try to reach her life-long goal. What happened next (getting the first book published and getting the second book made into the fabulous movie "Must Love Dogs") was not expected.
But since then, Cook has not rested on her laurels. She's the author of several bestselling novels, and she strolled down the Hollywood red carpet at the age of 50. And, as she reveals in the book, she became one of the few authors during that walk to captivate the media, who usually only want to mingle with the top-notch actors. (Spoiler alert: a bit of luck may have been involved.)
Claire also shares her most recent reinvention. Her traditional publishers weren't doing what she thought was best for her career and her books, so she took the matter into her own hands and decided to self-publish her books under Marshbury Beach Books (the name of the fictional town in her novels). She now owns the rights to many of her books (including "Must Love Dogs"), and she alone gets to manage the whole publishing process.
"Never Too Late" is the perfect book for readers who love Claire Cook's books and wonder how she got to be such a successful author. But the real purpose and accomplishment of the book is the inspiration it provides and the fascinating and amazingly helpful strategies and methods she presents for any women ("and a few good men") who really want to achieve what they've only dreamed of. The book is about change and opportunity -- and how to grab them.
Cook is candid: grabbing opportunity sometimes involves serendipity, but it's always a tremendous amount of work and risk. She talks about money, though she points out that it's not always about the money; and she demonstrates how fear can be incapacitating. Different often equals scary.
The book also may well serve to let many people know that they, too, could serve as an inspiration for others. Most people have within them the capacity to inspire those around them. It's just a matter of freeing those hidden thoughts and ideas and dreams and goals.
The author's website states: "I'll share my own stories, successes, and failures, as well as those of other reinventors, plus tips for getting a plan, staying on track, pulling together a support system, building your platform in the age of social networking, dealing with the inevitable ups and downs, overcoming perfectionism, and tuning in to your authentic self to propel you toward your goals."
And she does.
One last comment: The cover -- it's brilliant. Pure Claire Cook, while still perfectly suited for this first, nonfiction creation. A beach, a blue sky, and an endless blue ocean in between. Just like the endless opportunities that exist for all of us.
Please note: This review is based on the final hardcover book provided by the author, Claire Cook, for review purposes.

R.A. Washington
artist, 36
/ Why he's interesting / A local poet and musician, Washington currently runs the cassette-only label appropriately dubbed Cleveland Tapes and serves as the bridge between the city's poetry/spoken word and underground rock scenes. He is currently working on a book of essays about African-American writer James Baldwin.
/ Hello, Cleveland / Washington, who moved from El Paso, Texas, to Cleveland in the '90s, says the experience was a total culture shock. "I went to Cleveland Heights High School, and I hated it. Cleveland is one of those towns where if you didn't go to junior high with people or attend someone's bar mitzvah, you're just not going to fit in."
/ Music man / Ten years ago, Washington picked up the trumpet and formed Vernacular with local punk heroes Chris Kulcsar and Lawrence Daniel Caswell, whom he met at Cleveland State University. He continues to play in Vernacular and is currently in a number of avant-garde indie rock acts, including the Madame and the Moist Towelettes, LeRoi Da Moor, Dookie Berhinger and New Surah Orchestar.
/ On meeting the late Cleveland poet Daniel Thompson / Washington's first encounter with Thompson was outside Mac's Backs Books on Coventry in the early '90s. "He looked like Santa Claus, and I made fun of him. He snarked back at me, and I told him he should buy my poems because they're the best poems ever, and he told me they weren't finished. He said poems are never finished. That interaction made me want to start taking writing more seriously."
/ The Baldwin connection / Washington and Baldwin were childhood preachers. "I was a preacher from ages 14 to 17 in a Unity Missionary Baptist Church in El Paso. We both had pretty interesting stepfathers and religious backgrounds."
/ On Cleveland Tapes / "We want to have a collection of artists where we can use the same aesthetic template. We want to give the music away in a clever package so if you go to the website, you can stream it or pay whatever you want for it. We do understand that the people interested in art often can't afford to pay for it."

Tetsuya Wakuda went to Australia 24 years ago in search of kangaroos and koala bears. What he found instead were ocean trout and octopus, two of the local ingredients that inspired his ground-breaking cooking style. In recognition of his singular impact on Australian cuisine he was last week named personality of the year along with French chef Pierre Gagnaire and British wine writer Hugh Johnson.
Paris pastry chefs are outdoing each other this holiday season in reinventing the most kitsch of all French desserts, the Christmas yule log cake, dressing them in ivy, marshmallows and snowflakes. More traditional than turkey, more feted than foie gras, the buche -- literally "log" -- has crowned the French Christmas table since the 19th century.
Beneath the civilised veneer of Helsinki's broad boulevards lies a throbbing night scene fuelled by tar-coloured liquorice schnapps, lethally sweet cider and Lapin Kulta beer. Perhaps nowhere illustrates this better than Hevimesta, whose sober wooden doorway in the ministry of agriculture building gives away nothing by day.
So far this could be any dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong. But the menu of stone fish dishes and the lurid green and pink desserts whizzing past on the trolley tell you that something different is going on in the kitchen. Super Star Seafood belongs to a generation of Hong Kong restaurants leading the way in creating "nouvelle Chinese" fusion of Eastern and Western flavours.
Cookbooks might be the biggest-selling form of non-fiction ahead of health and gardening, but the well-thumbed and tomato-spattered favourite remains a rarity.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Where is Santa right now 2012? Kids via the Norad Santa Tracker 2012 are tracking Santa Claus right now as he leaves the North Pole. Children are beginning to wonder where is Santa right now, what time will Santa be at my house, and when will Santa Claus be at my home. But officials at Norad tell news that Santa is going to be on time. Yet despite bad weathers in some parts of the world tonight, Santa indicates to news that he is on his way, bringing lots of gifts and happiness to girls and boys around the world.
The Norad Santa Tracker has evolved dramatically over the years. Before Santa had his own app, before Rudolf was tweeting with his iPad, and before Mrs. Claus was recharging the hybrid sleigh, Santa was delivering Christmas gifts the old fashion way, with a pen and paper. But as Santa's Christmas route has become more high tech over the years, the efforts to track Santa have evolved too.
Norad tell news today that the Santa Tracker 2012 is online right now giving live updates on Santa from December 24 to December 25 (click HERE). Santa's path will head from the east to the west. As countries in earlier time zones pass first into Christmas, Santa will head through the sky. And as North America's east coast states heads into December 25, Santa will be turning towards us.
Annually kids ask what time will Santa be at my house. In a news statement this week, Santa says he will be on time; but Santa is not revealed the exact time for each house. Santa tells news that he loves having children around the world track him every year via Norad. But the time he arrives at early person's house has to remain a secret.
In a news conference earlier today, Santa said he got all the kids' list of gifts they want this year. And if you sent your Christmas list to Santa via mail, text or tweet, he got that too.
After Santa covers the South Pacific, children in Asia, Africa and Europe will be next, NORAD tells news. "After that, he shoots up to Japan, over to Asia, across to Africa, then onto Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico and Central and South America."
Yet, despite a generally consistent flight pattern, Santa does often make changes based upon flight changes. NORAD reminds news to "keep in mind, Santa's route can be affected by weather, so it's really unpredictable. NORAD coordinates with Santa's Elf launch staff to confirm his launch time, but from that point on, Santa calls the shots. We just track him!" Track Santa right now HERE.

There has been a Jesse James sexual harassment settlement. But its not related to the allegations of adultery he's been faced with lately, its from an earlier situation. Read about it below and see some photos and a video of the besieged Jesse James.
A former high-level female executive with West Coast Choppers has reportedly settled a huge sexual harassment lawsuit against West Coast Choppers and Jesse James. According to court documents, the sexual harassment lawsuit was settled for more than $700,000 in 2007. That would be during the famous television personality's marriage to film star Sandra Bullock.
The unnamed woman claimed that she was repeatedly subjected to sexual advances, including sexual acts, from West Coast Choppers owner, Jesse James, during her employment there between 2006 and 2007. She quit her job there and hired famous attorney Gloria Allred's law firm to represent her in the case. The case was settled without ever going as far as a lawsuit being filed. It was settled on September 27, 2007 for $725,000.
The woman was alleged to have evidence that included a t-shirt with Jesse James' DNA on it from an oral encounter with him. She also kept suggestive emails from James. In one of the emails, sent in 2007, he wrote her an email asking if she needed anything before he left. She replied she needed Tums. He replied that he had 'some special fluid that you can drink and it makes it all better ….'
In the settlement documents, James neither admits or denies the allegations.
So what do you make of the Jesse James sexual harassment settlement? Especially in light of the latest scandal involving allegations he cheated on his wife, Sandra Bullock? Is it just me or does it seem that, like his famous relative and namesake, things may not end well for Jesse James. You can see some photos and a video of Jesse James below.

Stephen Jackson scores 38 as Bobcats beat depleted Cavaliers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Yells and grimaces have been replaced by slaps on the back and wide smiles. Freelancing and creativity have taken the place of forced shots and shot-clock violations.
And, at least for now, wins are being substituted for losses as Paul Silas remains unbeaten as Larry Brown's replacement in Charlotte.
Stephen Jackson scored 38 points, D.J. Augustin added 28 and the Bobcats moved to 2-0 under their interim coach with a 101-92 victory over the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
"Well, I'm the greatest coach in this industry!" Silas said, bursting into laughter. "Confidence is what I think is most important in basketball."
Where did that confidence come from? Getting freedom on offense, according to the players.
"It's a good feeling knowing the coaches are allowing you to use your brain and make basketball plays and not be sort of a robot out there," Jackson said.
Added Augustin: "Before, we were trying to run the play all the way through and getting shot clock violations and guys were just standing. Now guys are getting open shots and taking them."
Free from Brown's regimented style, the Bobcats built a big lead then survived a late Cleveland rally. It was similar to two nights earlier when they held off Detroit, a similar downtrodden team.
It didn't dampen the enthusiasm as Charlotte won consecutive game for only the second time.
"I think everybody is loving it right now," said Augustin, who has made 20 of 29 shots in two games since Brown was fired.
Cleveland's 15th loss in 16 games and its 13th straight on the road came as top scorer Mo Williams sat out with a left hip flexor strain. They didn't get through the third quarter before backcourt mate Daniel Gibson was lost to a thigh injury.
Add in foul trouble and a technical foul for Anderson Varejao and it spelled doom for the Cavaliers.
"Our margin for error is very slim, and when we get down 15 or 16 points, it's an uphill battle," coach Byron Scott said. "Tonight, basically that was our demise."
Cleveland did cut a 19-point third quarter deficit to 94-90 on Antawn Jamison's three-point play with 1:59 left. But Jackson's 3 on the next possession put it away for Charlotte.
Jamison scored 18 points and Ramon Sessions, one of the few remaining healthy guards, scored 22.
Jackson made 13 of 15 free throws, added six rebounds and four assists and had only two turnovers two nights after throwing it away nine times. Augustin hit 10 of 14 shots and the Bobcats got a boost when Gerald Wallace returned after missing five games with a sprained left ankle.
Wallace had nine points and 10 rebounds and even with Tyrus Thomas (wrist) sitting out, the Bobcats had more than enough to handle the Cavaliers, who played only eight men.
Scott said Williams was hurt in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to Orlando and it stiffened up overnight. Rookie Manny Harris, not Sessions, replaced him in the starting lineup and had eight points on 3 of 9 shooting.
"Basically, we put him in for some energy," Scott said.
Without Williams and Joey Graham (calf) and with Christian Eyenga and Samardo Samuels playing in the NBA Development League, the Cavaliers had a thin bench that included Alonzo Gee, signed earlier this week.
Scott didn't want to play Gee until he practiced, but he was in before the game was 8 minutes old as Charlotte was in the midst of its decisive 21-4 run.
Gibson's injury further depleted the sinking Cavs, who struggled against Charlotte even when they had LeBron James. The Bobcats have won the past four meetings and six of the past eight in Charlotte.
And this loss came to Silas, who was James' first coach in Cleveland until he was fired in 2005.
Silas had been out of the league until last week, but has quickly helped Charlotte turn things around.
"I told those guys from the start that attitude, confidence, and going out there and playing are is what's most important," he said.
Game notes
Scott said Williams and Gibson would be questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago. ... Varejao had nine points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. "He's really improved offensively," Silas said of the lone player left from his Cleveland stint. ... After allowing Orlando to hit 19 3-pointers, Charlotte made 9 of 19 against the league's worst team in defending 3s. ... Bobcats C Kwame Brown went from starting Larry Brown's last game to not getting off the bench in Silas' debut Monday to being on the inactive list Wednesday. ... Jamison swished a 70-footer after the first-quarter buzzer.

I think I've mentioned a new addition to our family, a little calico kitten named Poppy. She is the sweetest thing and she's a talker. She squeeks, chirps, and growls. She has fit into our little family very well, she adjusted to Samson and Winston and plays with them a lot. It's funny to see Samson, who is a BIG cat, not fat, he's BIG, chasing this little tiny petite kitten through the house, but, she loves it. Last night she decided she wanted to sleep on me. Samson does the same thing, he will, when I am on my side, lay in the curve of my body with his head on my shoulder. Poppy did that last night and I could feel her tail curving around my back. It was so sweet and she lulled me to sleep. Simple things in life that need to be appreciated.
My computer issues abound. It's so funny. Get my laptop and get ready to get back on line and I lose internet connection. They were giving me a hard time about fixing it so, I told them to disconnect the service and my home phone. I went through my cell company and they are cheaper! I don't need a home phone, I have my cell and 2 gigs is only 19.99 so, that's what I did. After having said all that, my internet time will be limited from now on. But honestly, on the way to work I started thinking about how much time is sucked away by the computer. I spend way too much time on the computer, hours every evening, playing games, watching videos, and just putzing around. So, I think this is a good thing. My youngest is not happy with me, she won't be able to stream videos anymore but neither will I. I will have to reserve my video watching until I am somewhere with free wifi. So, I think, it's a good thing. I will have more time to do other things. I will check my email, check facebook, and ravelry and blogger and then I'll be done for the night.
On the crafting front, I have my niece's veil to finish, and bracelets for her bridesmaids to make and then I'm done with the wedding stuff. I need to get started on her gift. I'm making her pot holders, and wash clothes and table trivets for her gift. And I have a newsboy cap to make for my grandmother. She asked for one and of course I have to make it.
Well, time for me to begin my work day. You guys have a blessed week and I'll post again later.

Have you been the target of incivility in the workplace? What about the other way around - have you engaged in uncivil behaviors at work? Workplace incivility is a prevalent problem in many organizations and across varied industries. It is defined by Anderson and Pearson (1999) as "…low-intensity deviant behavior with ambiguous intent to harm the target, in violation of workplace norms for mutual respect. Uncivil behaviors are characteristically rude and discourteous, displaying a lack of regard for others."
What does incivility in the workplace look like?
Uncivil behaviors include making condescending comments, writing demeaning notes or emails, disrupting meetings, reprimanding someone publicly, talking behind someone's back, giving someone the silent treatment, not giving credit where credit is due, sexually harassing employees, rolling your eyes, and yelling at others. Being uncivil also includes excluding someone from a meeting, neglecting to greet someone, cutting people off while they are speaking, leaving a jammed photocopier or printer for another to fix, leaving a mess in the kitchen, listening in on another's phone call, ignoring a colleague's request, using disparaging language or voice tone, making inflammatory remarks, etc.
Most of the above described behaviors appear to be minor and may be overlooked on occasion, but over time and with frequency, have detrimental effects. Workplace incivility is a unique challenge in organizations because it is ambiguous in nature, and difficult to identify. It is too easy to deflect a claim of incivility on the basis of "I didn't mean it", "He just had the wrong impression", "I was not trying to be mean" or "She is overly sensitive". Further, uncivil behaviors do not usually merit managerial or organizational sanctions. Very few incidents of incivility are officially reported and dealt with on an organizational or management level. Yet, these behaviors can make an employee feel uncomfortable enough to derail an employee's ability to move forward, career-wise.
Effects of workplace incivility
Over time, the accrued minor stresses of incivility may lead employees who are targets to miss work, lessen their loyalty to their organizations, lower their level of job satisfaction and consider leaving their organizations. Workplace incivility also affects mental health and well-being of employees. Even those who are onlookers can be negatively affected as well. Targets of incivility cope by using different strategies, which include conflict avoidance in different forms: working around the person who is uncivil, passive aggressive behaviors, and changing work habits or paths. Employees also lose work time due to worry and stress. These strategies can impact both the individual and the organization in terms of productivity, career progression, and employee retention.
Conditions that may lead to expressions of incivility
When an organization experiences pressures to change such as budget cuts, management changes, workforce reduction, increased monitoring of employees, the likelihood of negative behaviors including incivility increases. The prolific use of email and voicemail appear to facilitate uncivil behaviors as well. Informal organizations with less clearly defined behavioral boundaries may promulgate uncivil behaviors. These workplaces are characterized by informal attire, free expression of emotions and lack of formality in interpersonal relationships.
Uncivil behaviors may be considered a cause, trigger or outcome of a conflict episode. Responses to uncivil behavior do, in large part, determine if such behaviors escalate in subsequent exchanges. The proliferation and escalation of workplace incivility are in part, determined by individual responses to perceived negative actions. Trudel and Reio (2011) found that individuals who use a more collaborative style of conflict management are less likely to engage in uncivil behaviors and also less likely to be the targets of incivility. Those who have a more forceful or aggressive conflict management style tend to be more likely to be uncivil and be targets of uncivil behaviors.
How can career development professionals help?
We, as practitioners, can offer recommendations to help curb and manage workplace incivility. Employers value good interpersonal skills which include managing workplace relationships and conflict. As career professionals, we can help employees and their supervisors develop skills and strategies that promote collaboration. Here are some specific ways we can help organizations create a more civil and respectful workplace:
Seek strategies or interventions that will address gaps in individual and group interpersonal skills. For instance, develop conflict management or communication skills training programs that focus on developing employees in behaviors consistent with the collaborative conflict management style.
Offer other training interventions that could also include mediation or conflict management trainings for supervisors, managers and other leaders. This may be helpful in equipping organizational leaders to identify and manage uncivil behaviors or conflicts before they escalate.
Help develop other HRD interventions including mentoring and coaching of employees, particularly those in management positions, to improve performance and interpersonal skills, helping them model civility and the integrate conflict management style, as well as building their skills in identifying incivility before it proliferates in the organization.
As career development practitioners working in organizations, consider incorporating leadership programs that emphasize collaborative strategies and appropriate modeling behaviors.
On an organizational level, support the creation of a culture that encourages respect and civility, which is critical. This can be developed by recommending to management, establishing policies and codes of conduct aimed specifically at encouraging respect and discouraging incivility. Left unchecked, uncivil behaviors erode the norms of civility and become part of an organization's culture.
A positive and productive work environment
It is clear that organizational factors play an important role in encouraging or curbing workplace incivility. However, these do not detract from personal factors such as the expected accountability of individuals' behaviors and the influence of individual personality traits in workplace interactions.
Managing and curbing the rise of incivility requires comprehensive strategies and collaboration both at the individual and corporate levels. The development and maintenance of a positive and productive work environment is critical to both career and organizational success.

13 Ways: Inheritance
td Whittle
Posted on November 26th, 2011
Dear Janesy, I have enclosed a photo of our old homestead, now yours. I know you will think I have left you nothing but a money pit – a pile of debris, on land that may seem cursed, spurned for decades by God and Nature alike, and then … well, the terrible fire that ended everything, or most things. As for me, I go on. I know you will think either that I must hate you, or that I must be laughing at you from the Great Beyond, to have left you such a thing. But I know, too, that you will not resell it or walk away, abandoning it to time and weather, as others might have done. …

The attempts to adapt horror-related material to the musical stage have been more successful than one might imagine. From The Rocky Horror Show and Sweeney Todd to Phantom of the Opera and Little Shop of Horrors, gothic visions often do want to be accompanied by greasepaint, melodrama, and a full orchestra. Shoot, even Fiddler on the Roof has a frightening number called The Dream, where Tevye relates a nightmare to his wife. Sam Raimi's cult film The Evil Dead has its own musical stage incarnation, which is reportedly bloody good.
If any similar project should have been bloody good, it was the 1988 musical version of Stephen King's Carrie. Yet after 16 previews and 5 performances, the $8 million show closed, and became one the biggest flops in Broadway history. In January 2012, a revamped version of the show opened off-Broadway … to yet another meh response. It closed in April.
Opening on an Atlanta stage at the same time that Carrie is closing in New York (again), is the ten-years-in-development collaboration between Stephen King and John Mellancamp – a horror musical entitled Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. The official production synopsis reads as follows:
In the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi in 1967, a terrible tragedy took the lives of two brothers and a beautiful young girl. During the next forty years, the events of that night became the stuff of local legend. But legend is often just another word for lie. Joe McCandless knows what really happened; he saw it all. The question is whether or not he can bring himself to tell the truth in time to save his own troubled sons, and whether the ghosts left behind by an act of violence will help him – or tear the McCandless family apart forever.
Watch the video above to hear King and Mellancamp talk about how this collaboration came to fruition.
Now … I told you all that to tell you this, LOL.
Are there other Stephen King novels that could be adapted for the musical stage? After some very interesting conversations about this topic on the Stephen King blogs RamblingsOfAHonkMahfah and TalkStephenKing (both highly recommended), I came up with (what I consider to be) some interesting ideas.
The first King book that pops into my twisted mind, ready to be adapted into a stage show with musical numbers, is The Shining. After all, this is a classic story of isolation set in an iconic Bad Place (the claustrophobic setting could be easily replicated on the stage), has over the top themes like malevolent ghosts and a murderous father (the better to go all operatic on), and deals with dysfunctional familial relationships (always good musical fodder). Click on over to TheWordslinger (my website) for more on this, including a very cool graphic.
I could see it going something like this:
SHINING! – a musical in 3 acts
based on the novel by Stephen King
written and directed by Andy Williamson (HA!)
JACK (singing soft and sincere to his son)
"I would never hurt you, Danny – nor slap, nor hit, nor sever.
We'll be safe right here in The Overlook – forever and ever and ever!"
I can imagine many song titles, like:
Ode to Mr. Ullman (Officious Little Prick)
You Gotta Watch Her, She Creeps (The Boiler Song)
Stay Away, Danny (Tony's Lament)
Closing Day
What's Up, Doc?
It's a Long Way to Topiary
Come and Play with Us, Danny
Snow! Snow! Snow!
Splish! Splash! (The Woman in 217)
All Work and No Play (Makes Jack a Dull Boy)
White Man's Burden (aka Drinks on the House)
Gimme the Bat, Wendy (The Bash Your Brains In Song)
Let Me Out! (The Pantry Song)
Bring us Your Son
Take Your Medicine (you damned little pup)!
Redrum, Redrum
Oh, Danny Boy!
I am only half kidding. (Or am I?) Given the over the top, operatic themes of this story, I think this could actually work.
On those aforementioned King blogs, I was dared to do a similar treatment (silly though they are) on King's apocalyptic novel The Stand. Off the top of my head, this is what I came up with. (Those familiar with this end-of-the-world story may appreciate this – others will probably scratch their heads and go, Huh?)
THE STAND – an opera in 5 acts
based on the novel by Stephen King
Don't Fear the Reaper
Welcome to Arnette (aka Turn Off Your Pumps, Hap)
Bun in the Oven (Frannie's Song)
You Ain't No Nice Guy (Larry's Lament)
Gesundheit! (The Super Flu Song) aka Ah-CHOO!
The Walkin Dude – The Ballad of the Dark Man
Baby, Can You Dig Your Man?
You Come And See Me (in Hemingford Home)
Huh? What'd You Say? (My Name is Nick)
M-O-O-N (That Spells a Big Song and Dance Number)
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! (The Lincoln Tunnel Song)
Captain Trips – The End of the World As We Know it
Devil's Bride – Oh How I Love to Love Nadine
Call Me Hawk
My Life For You! (Trash's Song)
Mayhap It Is, and Mayhap It Ain't
Think Of Them As Cordwood (The Clean-Up Song)
When You're Smiling! (Harold's Mantra)
Viva Las Vegas
Make Yo Stand (The Death of Mother Abigail)
A Long Walk
Ow! My Leg! (Stu's Bad Break)
Tin God
I'll See You in Hell (aka Nadine Goes SPLAT!)
Da Bomb! (Reprise: My Life For You)
M-O-O-N (That Spells STU!)
Back In Baby's Arms
I have heard bits of music from Carrie - The Musical, and I think what's missing is a sense of FUN! Just because material is dark or disturbing doesn't mean you can't add a bit of levity to it. Especially if you are trying to translate it to the musical stage. Yes, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek here, but … if anyone out there with more musical ability than myself thinks there is something to this and would like to talk further about it, please contact me.
So … what say you? Is this a good idea, or do I have bats in my belfry? Are there other King novels which would make for a good musical?
(I'm thinking Misery – if only to hear Annie Wilkes belt out numbers like Number One Fan, You Dirty Bird!, Hog Heaven, They Cheated Us – aka The Cockadoodie Car Song, and I Wanna Be Your Sledgehammer!)
Sound off below.

Music in GTA V
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 18:49, 5 January 2013 by Bluesboyjr (talk | contribs) (→Music Tracks)
| This article concerns a future game or content that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may not turn out to be correct.
In GTA V, instead of just having radio stations, many missions will be scored, with specific music tracks played at specific moments in order to build atmosphere and tension. However, radio stations will continue to exist.
We though could do something interesting if we scored missions in GTA. Obviously we didn't want to lose radio stations, so we thought we'd do both. Exactly how we're going to balance between the two we're not entirely sure yet – we're still trying to figure that out. But we have some very cool people doing the score, different people, who will work in the same stem-based system that we used in the other games".

- "Give It to Me Baby" - originally by Rick James (genre: R&B)[3]
The following song was confirmed to be in the game by the artist himself:
- "Love Sosa" - Chief Keef (genre: hip hop)[4]
The following songs have appeared in official trailers for GTA V:
- "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" - Small Faces (genre: psychedelic rock) - this song was heard in the first trailer.
- "Skeletons" - Stevie Wonder (genre: R&B) - this song was heard in the second trailer.

With all the talk of the Allman Brothers calling it quits at year's end, cherished concert memories are bound to resurface. No doubt, one of those remarkable shows was the Allman Brothers Band live at the Nassau Coliseum on May 1, 1973. Exactly one year after the Coliseum first opened its doors to the public, the Allmans hit the stage in Uniondale for a triumphant post-Duane Southern rock and roadhouse blues celebration. Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts and the rest of the crew served up a memorable evening.
The official archives
The ABB's remarkable Long Island appearance in 1973 was captured on a popular bootleg that floated around for years. Then, in 2013, the band's recording label issued an official version. The company must have agreed that the group's rockin' Coliseum fest was a winner, all two hours, 35 minutes and 50 seconds.
After Duane Allman's infamous death-by-peach-truck motorcycle accident on Oct. 29, 1971 and then bassist Berry Oakley's passing on Nov. 1, 1972, also from a motorcycle crash just blocks from where Duane lost his life, naturally the band was sent reeling. But they eventually regrouped into a jam band powerhouse, thanks to Greggs's incredible talent and Dickey's extraordinary picking. Oh yeah, and the Gibson Les Paul guitars and Marshall amplifiers. After all, where would the Allman Brothers be without that classic Gibson-to-Marshall tone?
Allman nuggets and Dickey's shredding
Speaking of Les Pauls, Betts had them cranking at the Coliseum gig. The album Nassau Coliseum, NY 5/1/73, the fourth in the ABB's archival series, is your proof. Just take a listen and you'll find the collection resembles an Allman Brothers greatest hits anthology. Most of the gems are here, including "Wasted Words," "Done Somebody Wrong," "Stormy Monday" and "Statesboro Blues."
But the favorites from the Coliseum set list are "Jessica," "Come and Go Blues" and "Ramblin' Man." The trio of tunes is a mixture of what was up to then, some old and new. You will notice two of the three songs were written by Dickey Betts. The only minus in the 16 song two-disc set is the sound quality. It is less than perfect, but that only adds to the authenticity of the recording. Nevertheless, the Allman Brothers Band Coliseum show from 5/1/73 remains a favorite.

Your Thoughts on The Footprint Chronicles - Part 3
0ur Footprint Chronicles were intended to ignite conversation every bit as much as corporate introspection. And the comments are starting to roll in. Below, you'll find some intriguing thoughts from among the very first responses we received to the Footprint Chronicles. In the interest of helping to zero-in our own focus on big issues, we've broken comments out into three separate themes: Materials, Energy Use, and Labor.
In previous posts, comments focused mostly on issues pertaining to the Materials we use and the Energy involved in clothing production within a globalized economy. Today, we're considering some of the questions customers have asked us about where we make our goods.
Footprint: Honeydew
Country: US
I've often wondered about Patagonia's choice of offshore suppliers given their stance on environmental and social responsibility. Curious to see how much transparency they are willing let come through on here in that regards. Interesting stuff though.
Footprint: Wool 2 Crew
Country: US
This entire Footprint Chronicles web site is absolutely AWESOME! I read labels to determine country of manufacture (looking for USA assuming many things about carbon foot print, local economic impact, and labor practices based on that label) and ask the grocer at my local market where their food comes from. The label is important to me and I think it gives me information about the origin of a product. Your footprint chronicle is very enlightening and has left me wanting to know more about a product's footprint than the final country where it was manufactured. I also want to know how my food got to the store now, not just where it is from.
Whether one uses the Ah Ha moment from therapy, enlightenmet moment from meditation, or light bulb ticking on in class one day, this web site fits the anology of flipping on a switch to a dark ignorant place in my mind that hopefully will stay lit and be filled with information and directions for action to do better. Thank You for sharing.
Footprint: Wool 2 Crew
Country: US
I applaud Patagonia's efforts to quantify and reduce the environmental impacts from the production of their garments, but I agree there is still room for improvement when it comes to the large transportation footprint associated with globally sourced goods. I am willing to pay extra for Patagonia's quality and conscientiousness, but I hope to see Patagonia increase local material sourcing and production for the United States market, in the future. Certified Jeans produces 100% US grown organic cotton jeans made in the US, under US labor laws. They sell them for about $90, $20 less than Patagonia's imported organic cotton jeans. I've been choosing Certified Jeans over pants from Patagonia, because they are produced locally. If they can do it, surely Patagonia can too. Moving more of you production back to the States will increase demand and awareness for organic crops here, as well as further promote and spread your high quality, conscientious production ethic within the US. Americans have lost sight of, and direct connection with, many many products and processes we all depend on. I think it is important not only to keep these things in reach for environmental reasons, but also for the understanding and awareness of the goods and resources we use, and the impact of our consumption. I don't wish to suggest we isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Instead, we need to work toward being a model for sustainable development locally, rather than propping up an asymmetric and unsustainable global trade regime. Ultimately, changing our modes of operation will have countless positive implications for developing countries, as we provide a better example of sustainable economic success and offer them more opportunity by not exploiting their labor and resources to support our consumer culture.
Footprint: Eco Rain Shell
Country: US
I have repeatedly questioned Patagonia management on their extensive use of China as a preferred source of their clothes. Considering China's record on environmental issues, it seems hypocritical for Patagonia to outsource to the most polluted country on the planet.

Happy Sundays!
The new concept of our Happy Sundays! permits families to combine the Happy Sunday! (from 11am to 1 pm) with a performance (starting at 3pm). This way, children (68-12 years) and their parents experience the same opera whilst taking different paths. The children partake in an introductory workshop destined to familiarize them with the theme. Offer your children a journey through the major lyrical works this season.
To facilitate the access for families, La Monnaie has initiated a MM Family season ticket.

Two of the school's staff leaders say the University of Kentucky would be better off using the system in place instead of forming a union to address their concerns over salaries.
Non-faculty employees ranging from food workers and custodians to high-level administrators make up the school's staff. Many are protesting a plan by President Lee Todd to give faculty members higher raises than staff over the next six years.
The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that U-K employees have the right to join a union, but the U-K board of trustees had the option of deciding whether it wished to recognize and bargain with a union.

Greek Yogurt Is Booming Like Crazy
Having zero in common with Greece's economy.
We all know that Greek yogurt is kinda like everything worth living for. It's healthy, delicious, a great at-home facial ingredient (try it!), and oh yes, it's done magic for New York's economy. Two of the most recognizable brands, Chobani and Fage, have their production plants upstate and are expanding their operations at a rapid pace, and other yogurt producers can't churn it out fast enough. Foodies, farmers, cows, and the dad from My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding, are over-the-moon. [NYT]

The Islamic State (ISIS) posted a disturbing, yet surprisingly polished video on YouTube Friday that will likely be removed once it is discovered due to it's extremely violent content. For the sake of the tortured victims, it will not be posted here.
Many Islamic State extremists, presumably along with their allies, have posted the video openly on Twitter.
While the video is not translated, one can read between the lines on most points. If one goes by this video alone, it is clear that the individuals taking part in the brutality consider themselves to be very devout. One scene features a man speaking passionately, presumably in prayer, while other members brandishing their weapons chant with him. The speaker becomes quite emotional during his riveting speech, as his audience is swept up in the fundamentalist fervor.
Some of the most disturbing aspects of the Islamic State, as illustrated by the video, is their horrific disregard for human life and dignity. Their victims are often abused even after their deaths; the abuse gleefully filmed as a badge of honor for others to watch and cheer.
In one scene toward the end, two men with their hands bound are filmed sitting next to each-other in a destroyed remnant of a building. Unable to fight back, they are both shot and killed. An Islamic State extremist then displays a crucifix retrieved from the wallet of one of the victims for the camera (pictured here as a screenshot from the video).
Still photos of this murder were also posted freely on Twitter. It should be noted that many of the tweets also express extreme anti-American sentiment.
Whoever created the video is certainly knowledgeable about video production, adding to suspicions that the Islamic State has enough resources and/or influence to enlist the help of others. The Islamic State terrorists seem to have no concerns about posting such content on social media, which is an illustration of their brazenness. Their murderous deeds are perpetrated openly, faces uncovered, lending to the notion that they have no fear of repercussions for their violence.

Polipo moved back to PPS
Juliusz Chroboczek <Juliusz.Chroboczek <at> pps.jussieu.fr>
Dear all, I've just moved the Polipo repository back to PPS. In order to get the upstream Polipo sources, you now need to do git clone git://git.wifi.pps.jussieu.fr/polipo My branch is called ``master''; Chris's old branch is called ``polipo-chrisd'', and his last tree is tagged ``polipo-chrisd-20100330''. Note that master has moved around; unless you fully understand what that implies, I suggest you just clone yourself a new copy. I'll be cherry picking the more reasonable of Chris's changes over the next days, at which point I'll start working on getting 1.0.5 out the door. If you have any useful patches that fell into the cracks, next week should be a good time to rebase them and send them again. Tor folks -- would you be so kind as to remove the Polipo repository From git.torproject.org, remove the Polipo project from Tor's bug tracker, and make any mentions of Polipo in the tor wiki point at the new location? Thanks to all for your patience, Juliusz

Robert Upshaw, Kansas State's best recruit since the Wildcats landed Wally Judge in 2009, will not play for K-State due to the departure of coach Frank Martin, according to a report from ESPN.com. Upshaw, a 7-foot center and the No. 43 player in the country, will also not follow Martin to South Carolina, his mother told ESPN.
It was believed Upshaw signed a National Letter of Intent in November, binding him to K-State unless he were to get a release from the university. However, it has since been reported that Upshaw did not sign a Letter of Intent, and instead, simply signed scholarship papers, which enable him to go to another school without a release from K-State.

Postgame will be posted a few hours after each game during this baseball season.
General Info
- Box: Click here
- Coverage: Game story
- Twitter: @DellengerAdv
- On deck: vs. Houston or Southeastern Louisiana, 7 p.m. Sunday
The Hits
- Conner Hale, LSU 1B: Hale had RBI singles in his first two at-bats. He made up for a whiff on a hit-and-run by hitting a line drive single to drive in a run a few moments later.
- Alex Bregman, LSU SS: Bregman had several great defensive plays, but the best came with the bases loaded and two outs. He dove for a ball in foul territory, catching it to end the inning. He went 1 for 3 at the plate, driving in a run in a two-run seventh.
- Aaron Nola, LSU RHP: Nola struck out seven through 7.1 innings, retiring 17 of his final 18 batters in a masterful performance. He wiggled out of that bases-loaded jam in the second – with help from Bregman's catch. Nola allowed one hit outside of that second inning. He allowed three in that frame.
The Turning Point
- LSU added two runs in the seventh inning for a four-run cushion. That's a comfortable lead with Nola hurling. The Tigers had RBI singles from Mark Laird and Bregman in the frame. Christian Ibarra singled to lead off the inning, and Kramer Robertson walked.
The Quote
- "Players know clearly once the NCAA tournament starts, you're five wins away from Omaha. We're basically counting them off now. That's two down and three to go." – LSU coach Paul Mainieri

August 5MFA Spokesperson: "Israel has notified Egypt that it has agreed to their ceasefire proposal." The 72-hour ceasefire went into effect at 8:00 AM.IDF Spokesperson: All ground troops will have pulled out of the Gaza Strip by the start of the ceasefire. The IDF will maintain defensive positions near the Gaza border. Israel completed the destruction of 32 cross-border tunnels. In the last hour before the ceasefire, rocket barrages are fired at Ashdod, Ashkelon, Beersheba, Rishon Lezion, Gush Etzion, Bethlehem and Maale Adumim, east of Jerusalem. One of the rockets fired from Gaza in the minutes before the ceasefire took effect struck a home in Beit Sahour, located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
August 4Israel has authorized a humanitarian window to take place in the Gaza Strip from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM today. The IDF will continue to neutralize the Hamas tunnel network and will respond to any attempt to harm Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers. August 3IDF Spokesperson: On the evening of Monday, July 28, IDF forces operating in the area of the Karni Crossing engaged terrorists emerging from a terror tunnel inside Israeli territory. Five soldiers were killed. During the operational activity to neutralize the tunnel, IDF forces found a wide array of weaponry, including rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, explosives, launchers, and AK-47 assault rifles. In addition, three motorcycles were found, ready for use, facing the opening of the tunnel into Israeli territory, intended for use in a complex terror attack on Israeli residential communities in close proximity to the Gaza border. (See video below) Copyright: IDF Spokesperson
August 2
At 11:30 pm, a special committee led by the IDF Chief Rabbi announced the death of Lt. Hadar Goldin, 23, an infantry officer in the Givati Brigade who was killed in battle in the Gaza Strip on Friday.
Over the past 24 hours, the IDF struck 200 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including tunnels, weapon manufacturing and storage facilities, and command and control centers. Among the targets was a Hamas military wing facility that was used for research and development of weapon manufacturing located within the Islamic University. In addition, weapon caches and Hamas command and training facilities concealed within five Gazan mosques were targeted. IAF aircraft targeted the launcher used to fire at the Tel Aviv area earlier this morning.
August 1
Hamas fired at IDF forces in southern Gaza at 9:30 this morning in violation of the humanitarian ceasefire. IDF soldier suspected kidnapped. Extensive search underway.
Two IDF soldiers were killed in the suspected kidnapping of 2nd-Lt. Hadar Goldin in Rafah.
Once again, Hamas and the terror organizations in Gaza have violated the ceasefire to which they committed themselves to the UN Secretary-General and US Secretary of State Kerry.
UN special envoy Robert Serry issues statement: He was informed by Israel of "a serious incident this morning" during the truce involving "a tunnel behind IDF lines in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip." If confirmed, "this would constitute a serious violation of the humanitarian ceasefire in place since 8 am this morning by Gazan militant factions, which should be condemned in the strongest terms."
White House press calls the reported kidnapping of an IDF soldier by Hamas a "barbaric violation of ceasefire agreement" negotiated by the United States and United Nations.
US President Obama: "I have - unequivocally condemned Hamas and the Palestinian factions that were responsible for killing two Israeli soldiers and abducting a third almost minutes after a ceasefire had been announced...I have been very clear throughout this crisis that Israel has a right to defend itself. No country can tolerate missiles raining down on its cities and people having to rush to bomb shelters every twenty minutes or half hour. No country can or would tolerate tunnels being dug under their land that can be used to launch terrorist attacks...It's going to be very hard to put a ceasefire back together again if Israelis and the international community can't feel confident that Hamas can follow through on a ceasefire commitment. And it's not particularly relevant whether a particular leader in Hamas ordered this abduction, the point is that when they sign onto a ceasefire, they're claiming to speak for all the Palestinian factions. If they don't have control of them and just moments after a ceasefire's signed you have Israeli soldiers being killed and captured, then it's hard for the Israelis to feel confident that a ceasefire can actually be honored. "
US Secretary Kerry: "The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today's attack, which led to the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the apparent abduction of another. It was an outrageous violation of the cease-fire negotiated over the past several days, and of the assurances given to the United States and the United Nations. Hamas, which has security control over the Gaza Strip, must immediately and unconditionally release the missing Israeli soldier... The international community must now redouble its efforts to end the tunnel and rocket attacks by Hamas terrorists on Israel and the suffering and loss of civilian life."UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms the reported violation by Hamas of the mutually agreed humanitarian ceasefire which commenced this morning. He is shocked and profoundly disappointed by these developments... Such moves call into question the credibility of Hamas' assurances to the United Nations. The Secretary-General demands the immediate and unconditional release of the captured soldier."
1:00am: Israel accepts humanitarian ceasefire
In accordance with the authority granted by the Security Cabinet to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, Israel has accepted the UN/US proposal for a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire beginning 8:00 am Friday, 1 August 2014.

A squad of Hamas terrorists emerged from a tunnel 150 meters inside Israel and opened fire on an an army position, killing five soldiers. The soldiers in the lookout tower opened fire, killing at least one of the terrorists, who failed to carry out a planned abduction.
July 27
Despite Hamas' fire, Israel decided to extend the humanitarian ceasefire a second time, until midnight Sunday night (27 July). In face of the continued Hamas fire at Israeli cities and civilians, the IDF resumed aerial, naval and ground activity in Gaza at 10:00 am. Hamas then asked for a ceasefire which it itself continued to violate by continuing to fire rockets at Israeli cities.
July 26
IDF Spokesman: "From 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, there will be a humanitarian window in Gaza. During this time, operational activities to locate and neutralize terror tunnels will continue. The IDF will respond if terrorists exploit the lull to fire at Israeli soldiers or civilians."
Israel respected the UN-requested humanitarian ceasefire from 8 am to 8 pm and was ready to prolong it, but a few minutes after 8 pm Hamas resumed the rocket barrage at Israel's cities.

The IDF is targeting specific sites and terrorists within the grounds of the hospital, from which Hamas continues to fire at our forces. The IDF repeatedly conveyed warnings to the hospital staff and urged civilians to leave the area in advance. Hamas is telling them to stay.IDF Spokesman Peter Lerner: "Hamas terrorists have been intentionally abusing the hospital and other international protected symbols to indiscriminately attack Israel and its civilians. The IDF is determined in preventing the ongoing aggression by Hamas that is directed by a strategy of exploitation and abuse of the civilian population and its wellbeing." Dr. Basman Alashi, head of Wafa Hospital, reportedly said that the hospital is currently empty of staff and patients, who were transferred to a different facility in Gaza City a week ago.
Three Paratroopers were killed in Gaza.
July 21: Terror infiltration from northern GazaFour IDF soldiers were killed early in the morning by a rocket-propelled grenade, fired by Hamas gunmen who emerged from a tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel near Kibbutz Nir Am.

The second cell emerged near Erez, on Israeli territory. Surveillance soldiers spotted the infiltrators and summoned an aircraft to the area. The aircraft opened fire, killing the gunmen.July 20: 13 Israeli soldiers of the Golani Brigade were killed overnight in the course of the IDF operation in Gaza.
In the first incident, terrorists detonated an explosive device on an armored vehicle, causing the death of seven soldiers. 19-year-old Oron Shaul from Poria is believed to have been killed in the attack, but his remains have not yet been identified. Hamas claimed on Sunday to have kidnapped Shaul, but Israeli officials say they may have simply retrieved some identifying items from the scene after the attack.
