He commanded an artillery unit, and was wounded when a mine exploded under his vehicle. Egypt's Pres. Gamal Abdel Nasser named Fawzi commander of the army after the 1967 war, in which Israeli forces captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt and secured a ceasefire from the Arab armies in just six days. Fawzi's No. 1 task was to rebuild and restore confidence in the shattered army. The next year, Nasser appointed Fawzi to the cabinet as defense minister, and he supervised the so-called war of attrition against Israeli forces along the Suez Canal. In 1971 Nasser's successor, Pres. Anwar as-Sadat, fired and arrested Fawzi, accusing him of taking part in a coup plot. Sadat later pardoned Fawzi. He joined the opposition Arab Nasserite Democratic Party and became a member of its political bureau.

The Egyptian intelligence services mistook him for Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, a Comoran terrorist with links to al-Qaeda, who featured on the FBI's most wanted list. The Egyptians handed him to FBI agents at the American embassy, who proceeded to interrogate him. He was released the following morning after a traveling companion had sounded the alarm and the Americans had ascertained his true identity from the French embassy in Moroni. His incumbent position as island governor and the backing of Pres. Azali Assoumani helped him beat his rival, Mohamed Hassanaly, in the second round of the elections for the presidency of Mohéli on April 7, 2002, although Hassanaly had won more votes in the first round. In 2007 he was defeated by Mohamed Ali Said. In 2010 he ran unsuccessfully for the presidency of the Comoros.

He joined the war against the Japanese invaders in 1937, fighting in the outskirts of Beijing; he was also a participant of the fierce "Taierzhuang Campaign" that took place in Taierzhuang (south of Zaozhuang, Shandong), trying to keep the enemy from encircling Xuzhou city in Jiangsu.

Over the last few years, the rumor of Sting debuting in WWE was an annual occurrence. The buzz would reach a fever pitch during the WWE's yearly "Road to WrestleMania." However, the buzz currently filling the WWE Universe has to do more with actions from Sting rather than from fans who dream of an encounter between Sting and The Undertaker. On Tuesday July 8, legendary wrestler Sting posted on his twitter page a photo of him in what looks like his "Crow" gimmick and a second tweet of "7.14.14".
July 14th falls on a Monday which is also the day of WWE's popular TV show Monday Night RAW. Almost instantly, wrestling fans have been speculating over what this tweet means. Most fans, according to the messages and comments my inbox, believe that Sting will be appearing on RAW and make his long awaited WWE debut. Sting has already worked on WWE projects for the WWE Network, most notably a program to honor the late WWE HOF superstar The Warrior.
WrestlingInc.com, speculates that this could simply be the date that the WWE announces that Sting will be featured in the WWE's hit videogame WWE 2K15.
Another possibility is that the WWE could be doing this to stir up interest in the hopes that their ratings and Network subscribers will increase. Currently, the WWE is in a full court press to get as many new subscribers as possible, while keeping the current ones they have.
Teasing a Sting appearance would be a great way to get the fans buzzing and create interest. But, an actual Sting sighting on WWE television would do even more for the company and could be just what the WWE needs to score in the ratings and add more subscribers. One thing is for sure, after nearly three months of silence on Twitter, Sting's July 8th posts were definitely deliberate.

When the film "The Fourth War" finally arrived, it was at the very end of the Cold War between the United States and Russia which finally culminated with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Another film that dealt with the post war peace process the exhilarating action-thriller, "The Package" starring Oscar winners Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones arrived alot sooner the year before and was a solid box office hit and by the time this film arrived, no one really seemed to notice it despite solid reviews. The film takes place in 1988 on the Czechoslavkian-West German border, U.S. Colonel Jack Knowles (Roy Scheider, "Jaws") and his Soviet counterpart Colonel Valachev (Jurgen Prochnow, "Das Boot"), have been chomping at the bit since Gorbachev launched his Glasnost policy. Fortunately for them, a serious border incident that involves the killing of a defector will allow them to resume war which starts out as a private war first, but a war that will involve a serious troop confrontation soon after in which both governments soon will become involved and may interfere with the peace process. The film was directed by acclaimed director John Frankenheimer ("Grand Prix", "Seconds", "Ronin")
A film such as this requires alot of solid music to back up the action on screen as well as the tension that is being generated. In this case, it's basically a battle of wills between two prideful Cold War soldiers whose time is pretty much ran out to inflict any further damage upon each other and this cat and mouse game that they play in the film is their last hurrah. With that in mind, Oscar winner Bill Conti had to come up with a patriotic, cerebral and muscular score that both reflects the psyche of both protagonists and the tension filled setting. Conti, who was going through somewhat of stylistic turn with projects such as "Masters Of The Universe", "Betrayed" and "Lock Up" in which he started to feature a little more electronics much like other composers such as Jerry Goldsmith, Maurice Jarre, James Horner and many others had shifted to incorporate synthesizers a little heavily with Conti following suit.
Early on, Conti establishes a mood of military patriotism for both sides highlighted by "Main Title", "Salute Practice", and "Snowball Fight/In The Cracks" and eventually both protagonists that would eventually become "Tom & Jerry" trying to one up each other through eventual force and cat & mouse games as the film goes along. Tension and suspense do mount in the tracks "Jack Meets Elena" and "Pub Confrontation", where Conti uses very tense string work along with pounding percussion and solo trumpet and woodwinds, "Jack And Elena Sneak" and "To The Church" provide some relief to the material with airy string work and light woodwinds in which the latter track reminds me of Conti's underrated score to "That Championship Season". The score is really highlighted by three exceptional action tracks in "Jack's First Outing", "Jack's Second Outing" and "Border Crash/Jack And Val Fight/The Big Threat" which are very lengthy tracks that just keep building and building in both tension and action. Conti utilizes his patriotic material to the full hilt and integrates alot more electronic work that is inspired by his work on "Lock Up" and "Border Crash/Jack And Val Fight/The Big Threat" just features Conti at his best just going all out to find a great musical resolution to end this private little war. "The Last Snowball/End Title" ends the album on somewhat of a bittersweet note with somber classical styled strings before a reprise of the bold military material returns to give the track nobility.
This is the premiere release of "The Fourth War" and the album is exactly what you get: a patriotic, tension-filled militaristic score that features Conti at his finest moments. The music is very bold and intense when it needs to be and dramatic when should be. It isn't one of Conti's best scores, but it really is one of his better ones at this stage of his career which would be somewhat quiet with a couple of solid underrated scores in "By The Sword" (which desperately needs a release), "Bound By Honor" and later on the exceptional remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair." "The Fourth War" is a very solid and effective effort by the Oscar winner that is worthy of discovery and is a good action score to boot! Recommended thumbs up!

13 AugMon / 2012Once the sculpture's restoration in its many phases was complete, an additional challenge remained: getting the 800-pound piece back to Rienzi. The project required some calculated planning and a pinch of fairy dust.
13 AugMon / 2012The restoration of 'La Fée aux fleurs' was a six-month process. "I had never seen the sculpture 'Tinker Bell,' but its existence had acquired an almost mythical quality. It was obviously of some significance, possibly French 19th-century. Ingrid and I thought that if we removed all the rust and old paint that obscured the intricate details, and invested a lot of time, the cast-iron sculpture might look impressive again.
13 AugMon / 2012It's a rare treat to find something you already own and enjoy it like new. A gift of that sort recently came to the museum, when a discovery made in a storage room resulted in a magnificent addition to Rienzi's sculpture collection. A cast-iron sculpture of a winged fairy and cherub shows the pair delicately perched on a circular mount, holding a tendril of flowers between them.

APPLETON, Wis. — I like to start each of my columns with a pithy saying. This one comes from a focus group I conducted recently. I had asked how one can provide excellent customer service and one of the group members offered this wonderful statement:
"Acknowledge your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's OK to make a mistake. But if you make the same mistake over and over, it's a habit."
That got me thinking about habits. First off, not all habits are bad. Remembering to call the customer by name is a habit. Thanking a customer for his/her business is a habit. Asking about spots and stains is a habit. Smiling, being pleasant, well groomed, in uniform…they are all habits.
How did we get good habits? Easy. Someone told us we were doing the right thing. And then we did it over and over again.
I have a great example of a customer transaction that was all about habit. The shopper had come to the cleaners to pick up his clothing but an item was not ready. I'll let the shopper take the story from here:
Laura greeted me by saying, "Good morning. Your name?" As soon as I told Laura my name, she started to find my items. She informed me that only one item was ready. "I'm sorry, Ken," she said. She explained that they had to launder the other item again, and that it will be ready tomorrow after 3.
When I returned the next day, in the morning, Laura said, "Ken, how are you today?" I was impressed that she remembered my name.
She said, "Everything is ready to go this time. You won't be needing to make another trip."
She was very upbeat and friendly the whole time. Her positive attitude and friendly approach made what could have been a bad situation OK.
Mistakes happen. It is how the CSR handles these mistakes that make all the difference in the world. Laura is excellent.
On the flip side, I have seen customer service problems that could have been resolved simply with prompt communication. While no one wants to be the bearer of bad news, it's a bad habit to avoid any confrontation with customers. In the next two events, if the CSR had done what they said they would do, both might have been great customer service experiences.
In the first instance, a shopper dropped off a blanket for cleaning. When he returned the next day, the counter person couldn't locate the blanket. Eventually it was found, but it hadn't been cleaned. The shopper was told to come back the next day, the blanket would be ready. When the shopper returned the following day, the blanket still wasn't ready. Here's what the shopper wrote:
Jordan looked for the blanket for quite a while and finally looked in the bin of blankets. He returned to the register, apologized for the inconvenience and promised it would be ready 11 a.m. tomorrow, because he would clean it himself. He also said that he would compensate me for the trouble. I left the store.
On the next day, Sunday, Beth was standing at the register when I walked in the store. She greeted me with, "How are you? How may I help you?" I told Beth that I was there to pick up my blanket. She asked for my last name, then asked for my first name. She typed something in the computer, turned around and picked up my blanket off the ground in the left corner. She brought it over and rested it on the bottom of the clothes rack. I unzipped the blanket bag and took a brief look, without taking the blanket out. I said thanks and Beth said, "Thanks, have a nice day." Even though Jordan said I would be, I was not compensated for my multiple visits to the store.
In case you lost count, the shopper visited the store four times to pick up his blanket. And the CSR at the final pickup didn't know anything about it.
The second instance involved a case where a CSR had attributed a shopper's debit card number to another customer with a similar name. The shopper falsely believed her identity was stolen. She was told that she would be contacted by the business manager to straighten out the situation. The store manager did not call back the customer as she had promised. The business manager was not told of the situation, and you can guess the rest of the story. Here is the final text we received from the shopper after we asked her what has transpired:
It is still ongoing. Don't really want money from them. Had to cancel our debit card and order a new one. Their business manager still has not contacted me, and they will not give me her number. Will be reporting this to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) at my bank's suggestion.
If you thought this was the end, wait … there is more! The owner became involved. Here is my e-mail communication with the owner in which I asked about calling the shopper:
"She thanked me for the phone call and for the apology for all of the hassle (despite the fact it was all brought on by herself). I also apologized for the fact that my business manager did not get right back to her, but as I mentioned yesterday my AD manager failed to convey it to the business manager on Monday when she saw her (I have since sent a note to not wait on customer issues but rather make a phone call or send an e-mail immediately) and then the business manager was out yesterday and today with bronchitis.
Reading this has probably made you tired and cranky. Pity the poor customers. A good habit to reinforce is to "overcommunicate" with your customers when issues arise. If you don't, they will always fill in the blanks with the worst possible scenario. And no one wins.

Captain Munnerlyn visited with the Minnesota Vikings Thursday. By early evening, reports swirled that he canceled a visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Minutes later, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported that the 25-year-old cornerback signed a three-year deal with the Vikings. Rapoport later added that the deal "could be worth as much as $15 million."
Munnerlyn was an intriguing prospect out of South Carolina in the 2009 draft, but wasn't selected until the seventh round. He ascended the depth chart and became the full-time starter for the Carolina Panthers during the 2010 season. He even started four games as a rookie
The 5-8, 195-pound 25-year-old recorded a career-high 74 tackles and 3.5 sacks and tied a career-high 12 passes defensed last season. Overall his numbers have gradually increased in each of his five NFL seasons.
The Vikings were one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL last season and cornerback was a major need to fill when the new NFL season officially opened on Tuesday. The Vikings were not in on the bigger names on Tuesday, but were patient and may have landed the best.
Pro Football Focus rated him as the 11th best cornerback in the NFL last season - just ahead of Alterraun Verner. He is an aggressive and physical corner, despite his size. The Vikings have had bigger corners in the past, but none that seemed to like contact. Munnerlyn is smaller, but he and Xavier Rhodes will be one of the more physical pairs of corners in the league.

MEDINA — In the midst of a run to five straight Ohio Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association Final Fours, Medina's girls lacrosse team has had its share of All-American players.
From Nikki Boltja to Katie Keefe and Sydney Thomas, just to name a few, the Bees have gained national attention.
You can add Sierra Thomas to that list as the recent graduate has been named to the US Lacrosse Association's All-America team.
"Just being at the All-American banquet (last month) and seeing all the kids that got it, puts it in perspective," Sierra Thomas said of the honor. "It's incredible to be one out of 11 girls in the state to get it.
"We've had some amazing girls at Medina get this honor."
And like the stars that came before her, Thomas was a special talent helping the Bees goes 14-1-2 with another state appearance.
"It's cool," she said. "When I was a freshman, I knew who those girls that came before me were and as a senior I wanted to be that person who could put the team on your shoulders. This honor shows me that people have been watching."
The versatile Thomas capped off her prep career in style. In the midfield, she had 41 goals, 19 assists, 65 ground balls, 41 draw controls, 41 caused turnovers and nine interceptions.
Along with her local accolades, which included first-team All-Ohio and All-District honors, she also was a standout in the classroom, being named to the Academic All-America squad.
"Being in the midfield, it made me feel like the leader because I had to know what was going on in the attack and on defense," she said. "I liked it because if someone was struggling, I could help, instead of just watching."
Thomas also has been a part of four state championships as a player, three in lacrosse and one in soccer, and while the Bees came up short in their bid for a fourth team title this past spring, she wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
"I know the Final Four didn't go the way that we liked," Thomas said. "But so many girls don't get the experience of what state is like. It's something to be proud of and that you don't realize until it's over."
Now, Thomas will embark on the next stage of her playing career at Baldwin Wallace University.
Her next challenge will be to try and help the Yellow Jackets — who will be entering their second year as a program this spring — create a culture like the one she's leaving behind at Medina.
Thomas is ready for the task.
"It's special, because Medina didn't start out crazy for lacrosse," she admitted. "I'm hoping that by playing there we can get some girls from around here and that they don't feel like they have to go to a D-I school to be good players.
"The coach (Kim Russell) is so nice and to be able to play for her is going to be great."

Over the weekend, a group of Lego nuts who are also Wes Anderson fans (or are they Wes Anderson nuts and Lego fans?) unveiled their scale replica of the hotel from Wes Anderson's latest film.
Created to promote the DVD and digital release of The Grand Budapest Hotel (with blinkbox on the 30th), this model took 575 hours and 50,000 bricks to create; it stands at almost 7′ and weighs something like 150lbs.
Take a look:
Just in case you were wondering: no. This will not be available at your local toy store.

How far into your pregnancy should you tell your kids? Our daughter is 4.3 yrs old.
Our daughter has been asking for a baby brother or sister for over a year now. I just found out I'm pregnant. I had a miscarriage before my daughter and even though I had a healthy uneventful pregnancy with her I don't know if we should share the news yet with anyone. My daughter has been acting up lately. I've heard they can "feel" when the mom gets pregnant so I don't know whether to tell her so she won't feel antsy or whether to wait until we tell everyone else (at 10 weeks approx). I am only 5 weeks pregnant, if that.

My daughter is equally excited about our having another baby. So when we got pregnant Icould not wait to tell her. We told the other three children together when I was 8 weeks pregnant after my first doctors appt. Unfortunately, I miscarried at 12 weeks, I was devasted and so was my daughter. She was an emotional mess. I will definitely wait until I am further along before I tell her when we get pregnant again. Just sharing my story everyone has to decide what is best for their family. Also, my daughter is 11 years old.posted 07/23/2012 by 7Apples

Hylochoerus meinertzhageni
|Scientific Name:
|Hylochoerus meinertzhageni
|Species Authority:
|Thomas, 1904
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Three subspecies are provisionally recognized, following Grubb (1993, 2005) and d'Huart and Kingdon (in press): H. m. ivoriensis, which occurs as isolated populations from Guinea to southern Ghana; H. m. rimator, which ranges from south-east Nigeria to eastern DR Congo; and the nominate H. m. meinertzhageni (the true Giant Forest Hog), which occurs as scattered populations from the Albertine Rift Highlands of eastern DR Congo to the Kenyan Rift Valley.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|d'Huart, J.P. & Klingel, H.
|Leus, K. ( Pig, Peccary & Hippo Red List Authority) & Hoffmann, M. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
Listed as Least Concern as the species is relatively widespread, sometimes locally abundant with a high reproductive potential, and, although it is subject to hunting in many parts of its range, it is not believed to be declining at a rate that would merit it being listed in Near Threatened or a threatened category.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The Forest Hog has a range similar in many respects to the Bongo Tragelaphus eurycerus, being distributed in scattered populations throughout undisturbed tracts of lowland rainforest in West Africa and on the right bank of the Congo River, and also present in highland mixed forests of the Albertine Rift, and in isolated montane forests in Kenya and Ethiopia (d'Huart and Kingdon in press). The species is believed to be extinct in Equatorial Guinea (Rio Muni), and there have been no records of Forest Hog from Rwanda since the late 1980s (B. Dowsett pers. comm.), though they may possibly survive in Nyungwe Forest (d'Huart and Kingdon in press).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Cameroon; Central African Republic; Congo; Congo, The Democratic Republic of the; Côte d'Ivoire; Ethiopia; Gabon; Ghana; Guinea; Kenya; Liberia; Nigeria; Sierra Leone; South Sudan; Uganda
Possibly extinct:Rwanda
Regionally extinct:Equatorial Guinea (Equatorial Guinea (mainland))
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Generally occurs at low density over most of its range, but may be locally abundant and sometimes occurs at high densities. d'Huart (1978) recorded densities of 0.4/km² in Garamba National Park to 2.6 /km² in the central plain of Virunga National Park. On the Mweya Peninsula, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, density was reported as >10 km² in 1999. However, Klingel and Klingel (2004) subsequently recorded a 30% fall in the density mainly as a result of predation; this population had subsequently declined further and is now close to extinction (H. Klingel pers. comm. 2007).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Throughout its range, the Forest Hog inhabits a wide variety of forest types, ranging from subalpine areas and bamboo groves through montane to lowland and swamp forests, galleries, wooded savannas and post-cultivation thickets. It shows a preference for a convenient and permanent water source, thick understorey cover in some parts of the home range, and a diversity of vegetation types (d'Huart and Kingdon in press).
Adult size and sexual maturity are reached by both males and females at 18 months; life tables suggest an average life expectancy of 3.5 years and an average life span of five years, with a maximum of 18 years (d'Huart 1978).
|Major Threat(s):
|Forest Hogs are very vulnerable to deforestation and, to a lesser extent, to hunting for food. In some areas of the Congo Basin, Forest Hogs are avoided by shotgun hunters because their flesh is considered to have an unpleasant taste, but this is by no means a widespread aversion (d'Huart and Kingdon in press). Hogs are sometimes caught in snares and the meat is smoked to conceal its origin and sent to urban markets (R. Ruggiero, in d'Huart and Kingdon in press).
|Conservation Actions:
|Forest Hogs occur in a number of protected areas, including: Sapo N.P. (Liberia); Taï N.P. (Côte d'Ivoire); Bia N.P. (Ghana); Minkebe N.P. (Gabon); Odzala N.P. (Congo Republic); the Sangha Tri-National complex (CAR, Congo, Cameroon); Maiko N.P., Virunga N.P. and Kahuzi-Biega N.P. (DR Congo); Ruwenzori N.P. and Queen Elizabeth N.P. (Uganda); Aberdares N.P. and Mt Kenya N.P. (Kenya); and Bale Mountains N.P. (Ethiopia).
