Early notes: Boesch day-to-day with oblique tightness
It's all relative, but it's a chilly morning by Florida standards in Lakeland, where Bruce Rondon is scheduled to throw to hitters this afternoon. One hitter who will not be taking part today is Brennan Boesch, who tweaked his right oblique while taking swings on Saturday.
It's a precautionary move, Boesch said. Better to miss a few days now and be ready when games begin next weekend than to have this linger. Remember, Boesch was bothered by minor injuries last spring training, including lower back soreness and a bad ankle.
"It's February. I don't want to take any chances right now," Boesch said. "Get it over with so I can get plenty of at-bats in Spring Training. …
"I'm optimistic I'll be out there in the next day or two. The most important thing is not rushing it so I get all the at-bats I need in spring to compete and to prepare for the season."
Other notes from Sunday morning:
- Look for the Tigers to get Rule 5 pick Jeff Kobernus some time in left field this spring as they try to determine just how useful the speedy right-handed hitter can be as a utility player. Kobernus was almost exclusively a second baseman in the Nationals system the last four years, but said he did outfield work this winter to prepare. With his speed and his success against left-handed pitching in the minors (.326 last year at Double-A Harrisburg, .306 at Harrisburg in 2011), he definitely has manager Jim Leyland's attention. "I think he's a very interesting guy," Leyland said, "and he will definitely get every possible look to see if he's a fit or not."
- Leyland says they have 15 legitimate candidates for the bullpen, including sure things like Joaquin Benoit, Phil Coke and Octavio Dotel. It's a good number to have, and potentially could give them some options at the end of camp as well as into the season, but the closer question is going to have an impact throughout the bullpen unless they have one guy who can take hold of the job.

dirks has good baseball character, for example
I like the worthwhile information you furnish into your articles or blog posts.I will bookmark your weblog and examine once more listed here routinely.I'm somewhat sure I will gain knowledge of plenty of latest things right listed here! Decent luck for your next
if the team does not get a "good look" at boesch this ST….do they cut him or keep him for ole 'hopes and dreams' sake?
"Good question"
i guess it probably depends more on dirks, berry, kobernus, garcia and kelly…..and jackson and hunter (if one were to….[won't jinx it]).
BB will be a tough call, regardless. On the one hand, he has shown flashes of brilliance. On the other hand, BB will be a 28-year-old this season and should be at his peak. If BB doesn't show enough for whatever reason(s) to offset his flaws and past inconsistency, I think his fate will be decided by the performances of his competitors.

After beating Bionic Commando it got me thinking. I went looking at my old games and wanted to know what they would look like if they were....Rearmed! I looked at games i played when i was like 7 or 8 and then i thought about games i haven't played or would like to....Rearmed! By rearmed you know what i mean, a 2D remake of a game with some updated sound and graphics maybe some co-op play etc. I don't feel this hurts the classics in any way, in fact i feel it brings attention back to some series. Here is a list of games i want tto be....Rearmed. (okay i'll stop saying that)
Streets of Rage
This is a real classic at my house and many others. I use to play this game for hours with my sister, we would always have each others backs while playing. It was the first time we played a game together and not against each other. What i want- some updated graphics, but still keep that late 80's early 90's stlye that made it so corny. Also some co-op play over XBL and PSN would be sweeeet!
Altered Beast
The tranforming into beast in this game was so wicked it just made punching Undead dudes in the nads even more wortth while. While playing this game and punching Undead dudes in the balls, it was the first time i heard some one refer to balls as nads...okay moving on. I would give this game the rearmed treatment just on graphics alone, but i would keep the sound hte same just to keep that "back in the day" feeling in the game. What ever Sega does they better not take out the "Welcome to your doom" sound bite or i will "mark my words" take lives. I would add some Co-op, rumble support etc.
Road Rash
I don't even need to tell you why this would be even sweeter rearmed. Remember when i said before Streets of Rage my sister and i would play against each other, this was the game that made us. The fact that you can weld a steel chain and hit people off their bikes is reason enough to want it on XBL or PSN with co-op added. Leader borads and time trials would be a nice addition ( i don't think it was much of a racer though) a realistic physics system like rag doll and in game music would also be cool to have.
Metal Gear 1
A upgraded look to this gem would really put a smile to my face. After seeing the top down view on Bionic Commando looked really good and i think Metal Gear would look better if done just like BCR. Updated faces like Snake's, Gray fox, Big Boss etc would be good to make it look like the rest of the series. Updated story arc, like have some scenes where you might here a reference to the Joy or how Gray fox got his Cyborg suit or have some talk about some other major people in the MG series major people....Major people....take that as you will. I wouldn't add co-op to this game, i would leave it as is, but i would make the bosses harder.
Chuck Rock
Now this is the only game i put in because i think a lot of people did not get to play it. This is a really hard platformer, but the look of the game and the humor is what made me rememeber it. I would love to see this remade will hi-res graphics and more pop culture humor added to it. Its a game i feel gets a bad rap. Every time i bring this game up people seem to talk down on it without even beating or understanding the full game. I'm not sure if Core still owns the IP but if they still do they could still make some money on PSN with this game.
I don't believe that making a (rearmed) version of a game will make it any better then the original, it is because of the cult fame of the original that even warrants a remake of it. Don't think because i want any of these games remade that i hate or don't want the originals. Remakes should be in honor of the original not in spite of it. Game on.

BROOKLYN, MI – Columbia School District students raised nearly $5,000 in June's Hope Run, an event that helps raise funds to support people and families affected by cancer.
As part of this year's event, 10 people from the district's elementary and middle schools – including students – donated their hair to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, which creates real-hair wigs for cancer patients.
A special guest at this year's event was Noah Nagy. With Teresa Greenslade, Nagy has established the Thought 1 Scholarship Fund through the Jackson Community Foundation.
This fund provides scholarship funds to Jackson County high school graduates who either lost a parent or step-parent to cancer or are a cancer survivor themselves.

Kissonline has posted pictures of some upcoming merchandise. Hasbro will manufacture 4 Kiss I-Dogs (one for each original member). If you don't what an I-Dog is (I had no idea) it's basically a speaker that you connect to your Ipod and it can "dance" to the music. To be honest, I don't really think that this really is what the Kiss audience is looking for. These I-Dogs will be available in November.

Making a connection
Considering her life's journey has taken Galia Kwetny from the former Soviet Union to Israel to Alberta, it's no surprise that geography is the theme of her art exhibit, Connecting Places.
"When you move from country to country, or continent to continent, there's a trail you leave behind," said Kwetny, whose abstract topographic paintings are showing at the Harris-Warke Gallery in Sunworks in downtown Red Deer.
Each of the diverse landscapes she has inhabited has left an indelible impression on the artist — and also a sort of imprinted map on her psyche.
While some people might compartmentalize the time they spent in various places, the 48-year-old doesn't see any "interruptions" in her history. "For me, it's a continuous trail . . . (and) my paintings are like migratory notebooks."
Her largest bold acrylic work, Community, resembles a map of what the world might have looked like when it was one land mass, before the continents drifted apart.
Kwetny is amused to overhear people trying to determine which continent is which — when, in fact, she wasn't painting continents at all.
Her inspiration was a photograph of one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Kwetny was intrigued because the time-tattered edges of the parchment strongly resembled the coastal configurations of a land mass.
The Red Deer-based artist said she depicted the tatters exactly as she saw them. At the same time, she wanted to retain the painting's dual interpretation by incorporating textures that evoke mountainous terrain along with the faded Aramaic text from the Hebrew Bible.
Kwetny is of Jewish background, but couldn't practise the faith while growing up in the former Soviet Union. Her family members put religion aside because of fearful circumstances: Her grandfather was a concentration camp survivor who had all of his teeth extracted by the Nazis, while her parents believed they could be punished as religious dissidents in the officially atheist Soviet Union.
"I couldn't observe my religion, even quietly in the house. You would be mocked or persecuted," said the artist, whose father worked in the Soviet military. "I had to piece my history together through letters and photographs."
Although Kwetny was an artistic teenager, she was stymied from pursuing art by an unyielding post-secondary policy. Before being accepted into a fine arts university program in the U.S.S.R., applicants were required to have previous art school training.
But her northern community of Arcangelesk was too small to have a local art school, so Kwetny instead enrolled in linguistics at a Moscow university.
She studied English — a valuable endeavour that eventually enabled her to teach the language after leaving the Soviet Union (Kwetny and her husband had to each pay half a year's salary and abandon all of their documents to legally exit in 1991).
They relocated to Israel, where several of their friends had settled.
By comparison, the Middle East had no food lines and offered plenty of opportunities for young professionals. Kwetny said she loved the sun-beaten country, hiking the Golan Heights with her junior high and high school students.
Israel was where her son and daughter were born, and "you grow roots with your children," she added.
But with the Holy Land's rich history came 2,000 years of baggage. And eventually, hostilities between the Jews and Palestinians drove the family to seek a more peaceful haven. Kwetny said she always felt torn in Israel, empathizing with both sides in the conflict.
Her husband, an anesthesiologist, got a job at Red Deer Regional Hospital. Kwetny joined him here in 2010, after first obtaining teaching and fine arts degrees from the University of Alberta, while living in Edmonton.
Earlier this year, the artist who opened the Artribute Art School in Red Deer's Old Court House, obtained a Masters of Fine Arts degree from Vancouver's Emily Carr University.
The representational works she created early in her career gradually transformed into abstract landscapes — perhaps because of a need to reconcile her own journeys across the world, mused Kwetny.
Several paintings in Connecting Places have Middle Eastern links, including a work that pinpoints Qumrun, where the Biblical scrolls were found about 75 years ago, near the Dead Sea.
But the New World also factors in Kwetny's art.
Ungoogled Earth shows an overview of farm fields and the distant sweep of mountains that can be seen on a clear day between Calgary and Red Deer.
Soil Matters was inspired by the "blinding" afternoon sun on Didsbury farm fields. The cross-sectional painting shows a golden surface, while underneath dynamic red and black oil deposits are heaving.
Kwetny said the dramatic Alberta landscape is the latest to shape her and imprint on her psyche.
Canada is also where she's starting to make a mark as an artist — one of Kwetny's works recently won a competition to decorate the SkyTrain station in Richmond, B.C.
The Connecting Places exhibit is on until Dec. 29.

Rudolph is serving a life sentence for bombings that killed two people in Alabama and Georgia in the 1990s.
Rudolph, in a letter filed last week in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, requests a hearing to contest the seizure.
Peggy Sanford, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama, tells AL.com that prosecutors have received more than $200 from LuLu Press Inc., which has stopped selling the book.
Rudolph pleaded guilty to detonating a bomb at a downtown park during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. He also pleaded guilty to setting off a bomb outside an abortion clinic in downtown Birmingham in 1998.

[QUOTE=Paleobird;919559]That was a pretty pointless distinction unless you were just making a joke. (?) Without the mammogram I would not have had the
information needed to start treatment in time to save my life.
A whole package of kelp noodles (3 big servings) has 18 calories. Kind of hard to overeat on that.
But I do agree that some deficiencies are great enough to warrant supplementation, preferably just until it is cleared up. E.g. I took supplements after chemo but I don't need them now.[/QUOTE]
I'm 51 and have never had a mammogram. I don't have insurance either. Even if I had insurance, I wouldn't allow anyone to radiate my breasts. And even if I did find a lump on my own, I wouldn't allow chemo or radiation. I believe that using iodine for many years now has prevented serious problems from developing in me. I have a number of friends with various serious female issues and none of them ever supplemented with iodine. Too bad you didn't detox bromides a long time ago before you ended up with cancer. I'm not ready to take that risk knowing what I know now. I will never understand why someone like you can be so opposed to others using iodine to detox bromides. You tell others to just eat a "big package of kelp noodles" which probably won't detox bromides in a timely manner if at all. 18 calories or not, I don't trust kelp to be without toxins. Most of us using Iodine are using it in higher doses temporarily just to detox then we plan to go back down to a maintenance dose to keep the bromide levels down. You supplemented when you felt you needed to. Why criticize those of us who supplement with iodine now to improve our health? No one slammed you for using supplements when you felt you needed them.
And as far as Brownstein "making money" from my use of Iodoral or ATP Cofactors, I just have to say this: How many products or foods (such as that big bag of kelp noodles) do you use each day that are making a profit for someone else? I could just go buy a cheap purse at Walmart (and they still make $$ off me) OR I could spend a little more and get a really nice leather purse at Macys. It's my choice. Why the heck do you care where I buy my purse or Vitamin B or my iodine or anything? I'm not asking you to pay for it. I can't believe you survived cancer only to counsel everyone on this forum to question Iodine or stop using Iodoral for no good reason so they could possibly end up the same way you did--with a likely iodine deficiency and finally cancer. How'd that big bag of kelp noodles work out for you? I'm not going to eat a big bag of kelp noodles each day and you aren't going to use iodine so why discourage others from helping themselves on these threads? You are now attempting to destroy another thread that could help educate those who are interested in learning how to safely use iodine to detox dangerous bromides. I personally wouldn't want that on my conscience.
I dare you to stop using ANY product that profits anybody else. See how long you can make it. You think someone didn't make a ton of money on your surgery or chemo?? Why did you not refuse poisonous chemo for that reason--since you have a problem with doctors making money--or is it just CERTAIN doctors you resent making money off their expertise? You slam others for using the Iodoral or ATP Cofactors that Brownstein developed for his patients for easier detoxing. Meanwhile, I appreciate that he developed these products with his colleages and they're still available for me to obtain. I tried using Lugols and its messy to use--especially when you knock the bottle over a few times. And the recipe to make my own Lugols has been posted but I don't feel like bothering to make my own cuz I have a life. And it's gotten even better since starting Iodine years ago. Iodine addresses all of my biggest health issues: Estrogen Dominance, Candida, Hypothyroidism & Heavy Metal Toxicity. Iodoral is the least expensive way to help all of those issues at once--unless I switch to Lugols which is even cheaper to use. I first used iodine only for years and then I discovered Iodoral on the other thread you helped shut down. And my health went up another notch of improvement after starting Iodoral since it also contains Iodide for my thyroid. How anyone could slam Iodoral for all that I will never understand. Someone has to have a lot of hatred or jealousy in their heart to want to see others suffer needlessly with any or all of those health issues when Iodine is a effective & affordable treatment for many who use it. And I don't even have more painful issues such as PCOS or Breast Tumors like many with iodine deficiency do. Of course, if you (or anyone reading this) are one of those rare people who truly is allergic to iodine, then please don't use it. Everyone is different--your mileage may vary. By the way, if you're allergic to iodine, you shouldn't eat kelp noodles either.
Now I will go take my evening dose of Iodoral and ATP Cofactors. You're inspired me just like a Poster Child would for "What Can Happen When You're Iodine Deficient" or "Got Bromides?" I'm more motivated than ever to not end up with cancer cuz I've got a lotta livin' to do! And if I ever had breast cancer in the past, I would be sure to use Iodoral to prevent it from returning if at all possible. But that's just me.

My friend Dr. Mark Ebell, who used to work at Michigan State University and is now with University of Georgia, did some research on what docs in different specialties get paid and how many graduating medical students choose that specialty.
A reasonable guide to popularity is the percentage of residency training slots in a specialty filled with U.S. medical grads. Even though many excellent physicians come to the U.S. from overseas schools, most residencies prefer to fill their spaces with U.S. grads and select a lot of international grads only as a backup.
What Ebell found in his research was not surprising. There's a direct relation between how much a specialist is paid and how many U.S. grads are lined up to fill that specialty's slots. That's discouraging news for primary care physicians like me and Ebell, whose specialties are at the bottom of the income ladder -- and also for the patients who nowadays can have a hard time finding a primary care physician who's taking new patients.
I've discovered over the years most members of the general public are quite unaware of the wide diversity in incomes among medical specialties.
Most docs feel embarrassed talking about their incomes with non-physicians, so they don't exactly advertise this information. Many folks assume all docs are rich and figure there's not much difference among them.
I thought you might find interesting the list of income figures Ebell used in his research.
For each specialty, the first number is the starting annual salary for a newly trained physician, the second the average annual salary overall.
Family medicine: $130,000/$185,740
Pediatrics: $125,000/$185,913
Internal medicine (all subfields): $135,000/$193,162

Posted: January, 2004
There is a growing body of evidence indicating that terrorist groups have been operating effectively in Canada by taking advantage of Canada's liberal immigration and political asylum policies and the porous Canadian-American border.
Terrorist-related activities in Canada include fundraising, lobbying through front organizations, providing support for terrorist operations in Canada or abroad, procuring weapons and materiel, coercing and manipulating immigrant communities in Canada, facilitating transit to and from the U.S. and other countries, and other illegal activities.
According to an August 2002 report of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), "… with the possible exception of the United States, there are more international terrorist organizations active in Canada than anywhere in the world.
According to the CSIS, in recent years, terrorists have moved "from significant support roles, such as fundraising and procurement, to actually planning and preparing terrorist acts from Canadian territory. In order to carry out these efforts, terrorists and their supporters use intimidation and other coercive methods in immigrant communities, and they abuse Canada's immigration, pass-port, welfare, and charity regulations."
The Canadian-American Border and Immigration Policies
The U.S.-Canada border, stretching for over 4,000 miles, is the longest international border in the world.
In December 1999, Algerian terrorist Ahmed Ressam was caught trying to cross the Canadian-American border at Port Angeles, Washington, with explosives in his car. Ressam belonged to a Montreal-based terrorist cell thought to be linked to both the Algerian terrorist group Armed Islamic Group (GIA) and Al Qaeda. The cell was apparently planning a millennium terror attack at Los Angeles International Airport. In April 2001 Ressam was convicted in Los Angeles of conspiracy to commit terrorism, document fraud and possession of deadly explosives.
The ease with which Ahmed Ressam and his fellow terror cell members entered and left Canada and Ressam's ability to assemble bomb-making materials in Canada heightened concerns about border security and the apparent ease with which potential terrorists can move freely from one country to the other.
According to the CSIS, terrorists from 50 different international terrorist organizations come to Canada posing as refugees. Nearly 300,000 immigrants are admitted each year to Canada, many of whom seek political asylum and safe haven. Canada, however, does not detain refugee seekers upon entry, even those with questionable backgrounds, so thousands of potential terrorists disappear annually into Canada's ethnic communities. Armed with a fraudulent French passport, for example, Ahmed Ressam had entered Canada in 1994 claiming refugee status.
In America, the debate continues as to the utility of tightening the Canadian-U.S. border. Those arguing for increased border security maintain that such controls will deter terrorists. Others argue that increasing the quality and quantity of checkpoints will ultimately do little to restrict the movements of terrorists but would result in decreased trade between the countries and would disrupt the legitimate flow of people across the border. Canada is America's largest trading partner, accounting for more than one-fifth of America's exports and a little less than one-fifth of its imports. On a daily basis, there is $1.9 billion in trade across the shared border.
In December 2001, the U.S. and Canada signed a Joint Statement of Cooperation on Border Security and Regional Migration Issues.The declaration established a joint action plan for deter-ring, detecting and prosecuting security threats while ensuring the free flow of people and goods across the border.
In November 2003, the U.S. and Canada announced the creation of two more Integrated Border Enforcement Teams (IBETs) to improve security across the border. IBETs are multi-agency teams combining U.S. and Canadian law enforcement, immigration and customs officials, working together daily with local, state and provincial enforcement agencies.They are strategically located along the length of the border to ensure it remains open to trade and travel, but closed to criminal or terrorist elements. With the two new ones, there are now 14 IBETs covering every strategic location across the U.S.- Canada border.
Islamic Extremist Activity
Islamic extremists and their supporters from Al Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Armed Islamic Group (GIA), and Egyptian Islamic Jihad are among those suspected of operating in Canada.
Al Qaeda
Canadian authorities have publicly identified 25 Canadian residents/citizens as members of Al Qaeda.
A major Al Qaeda/GIA cell was Ahmed Ressam's Montreal-based terror cell. Among the cell's other members are Fateh Kamel, convicted in Paris in April 2001 of supplying fake passports to Islamic militants; Mokhtar Haouari, sentenced in New York in 2002 to 24 years in prison for providing a fake driver's license and other assistance to Ressam; Samir Ait Mohamed, indicted by U.S. authorities in 2001 on charges of conspiring to commit an act of international terrorism and currently fighting extradition from Canada to the U.S.; and Mourad Ikhlef, accused by Canada of advising Ressam on how to handle explosives and carry out the Los Angeles Airport attack. Canada deported Ikhlef to Algeria in March 2003.
Egyptian-born longtime Canadian resident Ahmad Sa'id Al-Khadr left Toronto for Pakistan to become the regional coordinator for the Canadian-based Human Concern International, a charity that has allegedly diverted funds to Al Qaeda. He reportedly became a senior aide to Osama bin Laden. Al-Khadr was detained by Pakistani authorities for his alleged involvement in the 1995 bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Islamabad but was later released, reportedly, after the personal intercession of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien. In October 2001, the U.S. froze his assets and in December 2001, the U.S. placed him on a list of nine Al Qaeda members most wanted by the U.S. He is believed to be in Afghanistan.
One of Khadr's sons, Omar Khadr, was arrested in Afghanistan in July 2002 after he allegedly murdered a U.S. army medic with a grenade. He is currently being held in Guantanamo Bay. Another one of his sons, Abdul Rahman Khadr, was captured by Northern Alliance troops in Kabul in November 2001 while allegedly fighting for Al Qaeda and later sent to Guantanamo. In November 2003, against the background of the U.S. releasing a number of detainees from Guantanamo, Abdul Rahman Khadr was freed. On November 30, 2003, Canadian authorities permitted Khadr to reenter Canada.
The U.S. is currently holding Canadian Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, who, according to U.S. officials, admitted involvement in a series of Al Qaeda plots in Southeast Asia. Jabarah's brother, Abdulrahman Mansour Jabarah, was killed in July 2003 by Saudi authorities in a firefight near the Jordanian border. Both brothers are suspected of joining Al Qaeda in the late 1990s.
An Al Qaeda plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Paris also had a Canadian element to it. In June 2002, Canadian authorities arrested Algerian-born Montreal resident Adel Tobbichi, a.k.a. Amine Mezbar, who allegedly altered passports and other documents to allow members of the embassy conspiracy cell to travel throughout Europe. He was extradited to the Netherlands in July 2002.
Following the leads of the UN Security Council and the U.S., Canada shut down the offices of several Islamic charities operating on Canadian soil, with alleged links to Al Qaeda. These include: Benevolence International Fund, Islamic Relief Organization, Muslim World League and the SAAR Foundation.
Hezbollah is believed to have an active presence in Canada. According to Canadian intelligence, Canada is an important source of Hezbollah fundraising and recruitment as well as a key component of the group's international network.
In June 2002, two members of a North Carolina-based Hezbollah terror cell were convicted of providing material support to the terrorist organization. Their cell was part of a larger Hezbollah network that raised funds and procured dual-use technologies for Hezbollah. The Canadian part of the network was allegedly run by Mohammed Hassan Dbouk and his brother-in-law Ali Adham Amhaz, who allegedly received money from Hezbollah officials in Lebanon and engaged in credit card and banking scams in Canada in order to finance the purchase in Canada and the U.S. of night-vision goggles, global positioning systems, stun guns, laser range finders and other military items which were then smuggled into Lebanon. Amhaz was indicted in North Carolina in March 2001 on charges of providing material support to Hezbollah. In October 2001, Canadian authorities arrested him based on an American arrest warrant calling for his extradition. Amhaz was freed in December 2001 after the U.S. dropped the arrest warrant; the U.S. indictment against him still stands. Dbouk fled to Lebanon.
Also in June 2002, Israeli authorities arrested Lebanese-born Canadian Fawzi Ayoub, 39, who had entered Israel on a fake American passport. He is accused of being a Hezbollah fighter and of training Palestinian militants in the West Bank in Hezbollah bomb-making techniques.
The Canadian government had originally refused to include Hezbollah on its list of banned terrorist organizations claiming that it is also a humanitarian and political organization. After domestic and international pressure, Canada finally banned Hezbollah in December 2002.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad are believed to raise money in Canada. The Hamas-linked Holy Land Foundation has raised hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in Canada. Both terrorist groups were banned in Canada in November 2002.
In early December 2003, the Israeli government announced that it had arrested in November a Palestinian-born Canadian man, Jamal Akkal, 23, who confessed to being recruited and trained by Hamas' military wing in Gaza. Akkal reportedly had orders to kill Israeli officials and Jews in Canada and the U.S. According to Israeli authorities, senior Hamas militant Ahmed Wahabe allegedly told Akkal to raise funds among Muslims in Canada ostensibly for the families of suicide bombers, which he would actually use for purchasing a weapon and financing his attacks.
Sikh Extremism and the Air India Bombings Trial
In June 1985, suspected Sikh militants bombed an Air India flight originating in Vancouver, killing all 329 people aboard, including 154 Canadians. The bombing was the single, deadliest incident of aviation terrorism until September 11th. Canadian authorities believe that the bombing was masterminded and perpetrated by Sikh terrorists operating from Canada, some of whom were Canadian citizens. Two Canadian-based Sikhs, Ripudaman Singh Malik, 53, and Ajaib Singh Bagri, 51, are currently on trial in Vancouver for involvement in the aircraft bombing and for another suitcase bombing at Narita Airport in Tokyo, that killed two baggage handlers. Another British Columbian Sikh extremist, Inderjit Singh Reyat, was convicted in 1991 of building the Tokyo bomb and pleaded guilty in February 2003 to aiding in the construction of the Air India bomb.
The Canadian government believes the bombings were part of a conspiracy by British Columbia-based Sikh extremists to take revenge against the Indian government for its 1984 storming of the Golden Temple, a Sikh shrine. The Indian government sought to flush out armed Sikh extremists fighting for a separate Sikh homeland. Bagri, a former preacher and supporter of Sikh separatism, was second in command in the Babbar Khalsa, a terrorist group dedicated to the creation of a separate Sikh homeland called Khalistan. Babbar Khalsa raised funds in Canada until its charitable status was revoked in the mid 1990s. The Canadian government added Babbar Khalsa to its list of banned terrorist organizations in June 2003.
Tamil Extremist Activity
Another terrorist group active in Canada is the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a violent separatist movement of the Tamil Hindu minority in Sri Lanka which has waged, since 1983, a bloody war for an independent Tamil homeland in northern and eastern Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is Canada's leading source of refugees and there are over 250,000 Tamils in Canada. Home to 200,000 Tamils, Toronto is the largest Tamil city outside of Sri Lanka. Canadian intelligence believes that there are 8,000 former LTTE guerrillas in Toronto.
The LTTE draws significant financial and political support from the Canadian Tamil community. The Sri Lankan government estimates that the LTTE raises about $120 million a year, up to a quarter of this amount from supporters in Canada. According to Canadian police and intelligence agencies, the LTTE raises money in Canada through donations, organized crime and LTTE front organizations. LTTE supporters in Canada are suspected of involvement in a number of illegal activities such as drug trafficking, human smuggling and passport forgery and fraud. They have also been a major factor in spawning Tamil street gangs in Toronto.
The major LTTE front groups in Canada, according to the U.S. State Department, are the World Tamil Movement and the Federation of Associations of Canadian Tamils, the major umbrella organization for pro-LTTE groups. According to the Canadian-based Mackenzie Institute, these two pro-LTTE groups dominate Canadian Tamil life whereas the front organizations for other terrorist groups, like those sup-porting Islamic extremist groups or Sikh terrorist groups, do not exert the same level of influence on and control over the lives of the members of the particular ethnic community.
According to the Mackenzie Institute, the LTTE fundraising machine in Canada is "arguably the most sophisticated of any terrorist organization being undertaken on Canadian soil." Donations are both voluntary, through regular contributions, and coerced, through extortion and intimidation. Pro-LTTE messages are regularly broadcast over the four Tamil 24-hour radio stations, Tamil-language television shows and 10 Tamil weekly newspapers. These media outlets risk the loss of advertising and face intimidating violence if they do not take a pro-LTTE line.
The U.S., Britain and Australia have designated the LTTE as a terrorist organization. The LTTE does not appear on Canada's list of banned terrorist organizations. Canadian Foreign MinisterBill Graham reportedly blocked adding the LTTE to the list because of the ongoing negotiations between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE.
Canadian Anti-Terror Initiatives
In December 2001, the Canadian Parliament passed the Anti-Terrorism Act, which made perpetrating, financing, or contributing to terrorist activity in Canada a crime. It is now a crime to knowingly support terrorist organizations through overt violence, documentary support, shelter or funds. The legislation requires the publication of a list of terrorist groups deemed to constitute a threat to the security of Canada and Canadians. The act also increased the government's investigative powers and paved the way for the country to sign the last two of the United Nations' 12 antiterrorism conventions.
At this writing, Canada has designated 34 foreign terrorist organizations. The assets of the groups have been frozen, and belonging to a banned terrorist group, raising money for it or supporting its activities is a crime that could bring up to 10 years in prison. Most recently, in November 2003, Canada added to the list the Palestine Liberation Front, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command

Uruguay's budget deficit soars to 2.8% of GDP; Minister pleads for 'austerity'
Uruguay's budget fiscal deficit soared to 1.35 billion dollars or 2.8% of GDP last year, the highest since 2003, propped by energy costs, extraordinary one time payments and support for the recently implemented national health scheme, according to a release from the Ministry of Economy.
This is in sharp contrast with 2011 when the Uruguayan treasury managed a budget primary surplus (before debt payments) of 2% of GDP, which in 2012 turned into a deficit of 0.2% of GDP, something which did not happen since 2001 when the Uruguayan economy nosedived as a consequence of the spill over from the melting of neighbouring Argentine economy and their massive sovereign default.
The administration of President Jose Mujica argues that the unexpected red in government accounts can be attributed to the power over-cost because of an exceptional drought (Uruguay has to appeal to fossil fuel to provide for the lack of hydropower); payments of busted banks credits dating from the 2001/02 crisis and last but not least the closing down of the country's flag air carrier, PLUNA.
However even if the extraordinary payments of last year are not included the budget fiscal deficit would have reached 1.9% of GDP, which is considered too high given the sustained growth of the Uruguayan economy during the last nine years.
The 2.8% of GDP shortfall is far worse than all the scenarios anticipated by the Uruguayan government that in the course of 2012 on two occasions modified its deficit estimates which started at 1.1% of GDP (on budget presentation), and then were modified to 1.7% of GDP and later 2.2%. The 2012 result is also quite higher than the 0.9% of GDP in 2011.
According to the release, revenue from the non financial sector was equivalent to 28.7% of GDP in 2012, which was 0.1 percentage point less than in 2011. This was particularly severe because of the poor performance of the government owned companies (monopolies) which meant that the primary result fell from 1.1% of GDP to 0.8%. "This was in a context of drought which influenced hydropower generation in the first eight months of last year and the cost of supplying energy finally was 1% of GDP higher than that financed by the utility rates".
On the other side, 2012 expenditure of the non financial public sector increased 1.9% of GDP over 2011 reaching 29% of GDP. The national health scheme both for the labour force and pensioners demanded an additional 0.5% of GDP while one time payments to several international banks (Chemical Overseas Holdings, Credit Suisse and Dresdner Latinamerica) creditors of the defaulted local Banco Comercial represented 0.3% of GDP. Finally closing the national air carrier PLUNA demanded 0.1% of GDP. On the bright side sovereign debt payments were down 0.3% of GDP to 2.6%.
Earlier this week at the first cabinet meeting following the January holidays, Economy minister Fernando Lorenzo pleaded for 'austerity' from the rest of his peers and warned about the "vulnerable situation".
In mid January the head of the Macroeconomics Desk from the ministry, Andres Masoller warned that the fiscal situation was "most delicate" and anticipated that the floors for the different income tax categories would remain unchanged even when private sector and pensioners' income increased an average of 12.42% during 2012 in an overall 8% inflation scenario.

SERVO DRAFT provides highly dynamic compensation of deviations from the target sliver weight. To achieve this degree of short-term levelling, which cannot be realised with conventional concepts, SERVO DRAFT uses special drives, determines precise actual values, ensures fault-free signal processing and direct conversion of the levelling signal.
The new groove and sensing roll unit DISC LEVELLER
The sensor is based on friction-free, fiber-friendly measurement. It allows a very high, adjustable pressure at the measuring point, thus the deviations in material thickness must be placed on the same level as the actual mass deviations. The sensor features maximum accuracy and signal quality, without interference from external sources. Translating these signals into draft changes with SERVO DRAFT results in a perfectly levelled sliver and consistent sliver count stability.
DISC LEVELLER is equipped with a new, permanently lubricated bearing that features a more rigid design than conventional constructions; nevertheless, it allows quick and simple replacement of the groove and sensing rolls during lot change.
Standard draw frame TD 8 with two servo motors
On the Truetzschler-Toyota Draw Frame TD 8, the feed area is designed as solid creel. Alternatively, the new separately driven sliver feed SERVO CREEL can be applied. Both variants are made of torsion-stiff aluminium profiles; the supports are height adjustable and can be adapted to the corresponding can heights.
The new sliver feed SERVO CREEL is also ideal for sensitive slivers.
For the first time with separate drive
The new sliver feed SERVO CREEL presents a real technical innovation. For the first time a creel features an individual drive, which offers numerous advantages:
• No mechanical connection to the draw frame
• Tension draft to draw frame can be optimisedin a very sensitive manner (stepless on touch screen)
• The levelling motor is no longer strained by permanent acceleration and braking of the creel = higher levelling dynamics = improved levelling quality
• Reduced space requirement
The new SERVO CREEL is equipped with a separate drive.

These stories are all constructed to portray one theme,--the human being on the rack; on the rack of physical pain, or anguish of the soul or unattained emotion. They illustrate a self-conscious passion, an examination of all of the details of human passion. In fact they constitute the very summary of all of the elements of the subjective.
"England My England", the first story in the book and the longest and the best, might just as well have been "China My China" as far as the author is concerned. When Lawrence is Cockney his Britticisms stand out; when he tells a straight story he has obviously his "special case" in mind. His people are tall physically; they have what for want of a better word we must call "aura". They vibrate. He says they do. Whenever Winifred looks at Egbert, even when animal love is all that remains, she reminds herself that he is a sort of electric person. "He is," as Lawrence would put it, "so terrificially present to her" (my quotes). His characters bite and scratch; themselves and one another. They cling and they smash. It is on the whole, a quivering scene. The men and women in it appear perfectly normal on the outside, perfectly British (or Chinese). But shortly the current is turned on and what happens is the story of "Tickets Please", where a man is almost torn to pieces by six girls with whom he has firted.
Mr. Lawrence writes brilliantly: his style is his own and it is rarely a dull one. His stories are not slovenly. Most of his characters are real at times. The plots are ingenious as in "Samson and Delilah" where an errant husband turns up unexpectedly after fifteen years. He has humour as in "Monkey Nuts".
But they are spoiled, ruined to the core, every one of them. Ruined by a cloying insatiable, pathological subjectivity. It is ghoulish and does not suggest the human, even the eccentric. And even Mr. Lawrence's ticket takers, and farmers and young country girls, are all of them stark mad, mad in an unpleasant rasping way. All of his characters have un-natural lights in their eyes, and their brains are pounding with agonies of an existence which they do not understand. All of this is cleverly written and may be what Mr. Lawrence is after.
On the jacket is quoted the following by a well known critic. "The most significant figure in English letters today probably one of the most important in the entire range of literature". This is pure tripe and Mr. Lawrence should not be made sport of in such a crass manne?

Setback for Burleson teen burned in November fire
Family members of a badly burned 13-year-old from Burleson told reporting partner KXAS-TV (NBC5) that the boy has suffered a major setback.
"He was alert, he was awake, talking a little bit, eating and everything – and then, he went into cardiac arrest," said Donna Russell, aunt of Cameron Russell.
Cameron was one of four boys, including his older brother, burned on the evening before Thanksgiving. Investigators say they were playing with gasoline in a backyard.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, March 28 (HealthDay News) -- The Primary Care Extension Program (PCEP) has the potential to transform primary care and needs to be funded, according to a study published in the March/April issue of the Annals of Family Medicine.
Robert L. Phillips Jr., M.D., from the American Board of Family Medicine in Washington, D.C., and colleagues explain how the PCEP, which was authorized but not funded by the 2010 Affordable Care Act, is critical to enhancing primary care effectiveness, integrating primary care and public health, and translating research into practice.
The researchers draw an analogy between how the Cooperative Extension Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture sped the modernization of farming a century ago and how the PCEP could speed the transformation of primary care through local deployment of community-based Health Extension Agents. The authors call for $120 million in annual federal funding for the PCEP, with a target of $500 million for future appropriations, saying the PCEP could speed the transformation of primary care, integrating primary care with public health and translating research into practice. The urgency of these goals requires rapidly building the PCEP, the authors say.
"In conclusion, the rapid pace of change in health care demands that a PCEP be viewed as an essential, and not optional, ingredient for transformation of primary care and improvement of population health," the authors write.

Direct property versus listed property investment
Listed property has shown itself to be a top performer for investors in South Africa over the last few years, massively outperforming equity returns, for example, by 15 percent over the past three years.
But with rising interest rates on the horizon, can listed property continue to show strength or should investors rather opt to invest directly into property for buy-to-let purposes?
According to Shala Ramokolo, listed property analyst at Sanlam Investment Management (SIM), both listed property and the direct property market (the buy-to-let market) offer investors high yields, which are ideal for investors looking for regular income. The decision whether to invest in direct or listed property rests on the profile of the individual (e.g. age, access to capital, risk appetite). Listed property stocks have equity-like characteristics, one of them being high liquidity as they are easily tradeable on the JSE.
This attribute will benefit investors who may need to liquidate the stock in the short to medium term should they be cash strapped. Direct property on the contrary, is much less liquid and would therefore suit investors with such longer investment horizons, and much less need for cash in the short term. It will also suit investors with a much lower risk appetite as direct property is much less volatile (risky) that listed property.
The other benefit of listed property is its low unit value which will suit investors who do not have a lot of capital to invest. Direct property on the contrary, requires large capital amounts to invest. Only investors with deep enough pockets or with significant enough debt facilities can participate in this market.
Another consideration is that funds listed on the JSE mostly offer investors exposure to commercial property (hotels, shopping centres, offices, warehouses), and not the residential property market. Investors looking to invest in residential property will therefore need to do so directly in the market. Residential property investments may carry higher risk profiles as investors will be dealing with individuals as tenants, which may carry higher risk profiles than businesses that are the tenants in commercial property investments.
In 2010, listed property outpaced investing in direct property by a large margin, with the listed property index returning just short of 30 percent. Investing directly in property would have returned 13.3 percent in comparison (8.9 percent from the rental income, and 4.1 percent from rising property prices). Ramokolo says, "Listed property has really been driven higher by strong bond yields. As bond yields strengthened, so did listed property yields. At the same time, the sector has also enjoyed demand from foreign investors looking for yields."
Looking ahead, SIM is estimating distribution growth of around six percent for the SA listed property index over the next 12 months, and an 8 percent clean yield. Ramokolo says that the listed property sector is now trading close to fair value but investors can still find value in the sector through stock selection.
So how does the outlook for listed property stack up versus buy-to-let? According to research manager at Rode & Associates, John Lottering, flat rentals have shown mediocre growth of two percent nationally from a year ago. House rentals are even worse at one percent, and townhouse rentals are contracting at one percent. Lottering says, "If you do opt for buy-to-let, you must make sure your income stream will outperform the interest you'll have to pay on the bond. You need to make a good income return on the property." He says investors can expect a gross income yield of around six percent on a flat worth R1-million, depending on where the flat is situated. That would result in a rental income of R5000 a month on a R1-million investment.
At the same time, Rode & Associates is downbeat on house price growth over the next few years. Lottering says, "There is not even a hesitant stirring (in the residential market). So while we don't foresee a decline, growth will be moderate – certainly less than inflation. We would not advise buying a house, or any development of any property, at this stage."
A turnaround in the property market will also be determined by an economic recovery. Economists are warning that the economy may start to slow, following a relatively strong period so far this year. Consumers are under increasing financial pressure, while the unemployment rate continues to hover around 25 percent. Property experts say a buy-to-let recovery may therefore only materialise at the start of the next interest rate cutting cycle, which could be a number of years away yet. As a result, Lottering also prefers investing in listed property in comparison to direct property for renting out.
Ramokolo says listed property offers diversification, as one invests in a portfolio of assets that is well spread out across property, sector and location. "Investors in listed property have the added benefit of investing in assets that are managed by professional property practitioners. They therefore do not need to worry about rental collection and other daily management concerns."
However, Ramokolo says before deciding, individual investors would need to assess their own needs and limitations, like their investment time period. She says, "The profile of the investor is clearly the most important ingredient in determining what is best."

Just Say No to ODP
Matt Cutts confirms what Vanessa Fox told us on Thursday: It is a time for celebration! The era of Google inserting non-descriptive and inaccurate ODP titles and descriptions for Web results is over.
Site owners have been given back control over the "page snippets" that appear on the Google SERP thanks to the now Google-supported META NOODP tag. You may remember MSN began implementing the tag in May of this year.
By using the tag, site owners can tell Google NOT to use the description and/ or title found in their (usually outdated) DMOZ listings. Site owners can also direct Google specifically from using this information to describe a page by using the following:
Quiet. Do you hear that? It's your clickthrough rate improving.
The new stay-away-from-ODP Meta tag will be music to many site owners' ears who have long complained about Google using descriptions they have not authored themselves. Believe it or not, they felt the titles and descriptions they created more accurately portrayed what their site was about. Crazy, huh?
Site owners had even complained their sites lost ranking once Google started using ODP titles and descriptions because their keywords were not listed as prominently in the editor-generated snippets as they were in their own. Who knows your site better than you?
Why does this even matter? Well, if you're not listed in DMOZ, it doesn't. You can stop reading this and go on with your life. Maybe even go outside.
But if you are listed, let me ask you this: When is the last time you made changes to your ODP listing? You know, updated it. Oh, that's right — never, because DMOZ won't let you.
Think I'm exaggerating? Take Ryan. His blog was always listed in Google as a "homepage of a team" because in 1999, when the site first started, it wasn't a blog. The site was about a hockey team he played on. We're betting Ryan's not the only one to have that problem. I bet there's a whole bunch of memorabilia sites still promoting those Limited Edition Beanie Babies they used to have a hard time keeping on the shelves.
We always found it puzzling that Google would revert back to old DMOZ directory titles and descriptions. Sites are constantly changing and sometimes that change brings a shift in direction. Google must know that and realize DMOZ updates its directory… well, never.
Ryan's site changed from a hockey team site to a blog, but what about a site that was once information-only and is now an e-commerce site? Assuming Ryan doesn't make a living off his blog, that outdated information is probably going to hurt you a lot more than it hurt him. If customers don't know you're selling what they're looking for, why would they ever think to visit you? Simple. They wouldn't.
If you had been relying on OPD titles and descriptions, we recommend opting-out and constructing new titles that accurately describe what you do and incorporate all of your major keywords. If you're too lazy to do that, at least take a look at your ODP listing and make sure it's accurate. Do you still sell antique furniture? Or do you now lead the market with your endless supply of firewood? If it's the latter, it may be time to go banging on DMOZ's door demanding they give site owners more control over their own listings. Not that they'll listen. Personally, I think it's easier (and much less stress on your fists) to just opt-out.

4th Quarter 2010 Commentary - ASTON/Veredus Select Growth Fund
4th Quarter 2010 Commentary
The market extended its rally right through the end of the year as investors shook off mid-year worries of a double-dip recession to power stocks higher. The Fund had an excellent fourth quarter as stock-picking came back to the forefront after heightened return correlations between individual stocks within the S&P 500 Index and the broader index itself between Memorial Day and Labor Day made it difficult for active managers to distinguish themselves. Indeed, correlations during the summer of 2010 were higher than after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the fall of 2008, and only eclipsed by the period around the Crash of 1987.
To be sure, the macroeconomic environment is still wrought with potential pitfalls—from sovereign debt issues in Europe to potential municipal and state defaults here in the U.S. Still, the economic backdrop appears to be improving quickly. Weekly jobless claims published by the government are now less than 400,000 for the first time since the middle of 2008. Temporary job placements are heating up and the portfolio has several positions in firms in that industry, such as Robert Half and Manpower.
2010 Recap
As for the portfolio, holdings in the Consumer Discretionary sector provided the best performance, far outgaining the Fund's Russell 1000 Growth Index benchmark for the fourth quarter and the full year. Casino-operator Las Vegas Sands, automotive engineering firm BorgWarner, and Ford Motor were the biggest contributors to this performance. The Fund no longer owns Las Vegas Sands, the stake in BorgWarner has been cut in half, but Ford remains one of the largest positions in the portfolio as we think the stock has plenty of room to run.
Industrials was the next best area of performance for the Fund, powered by strong results from large-truck engine manufacturer Cummins and mining equipment company Bucyrus. Cummins climbed steadily throughout the year on the back of solid earnings reports. Bucyrus soared on news that it was being acquired in November by Caterpillar.
The portfolio's holdings in Technology lagged the overall market along with the benchmark weight, despite some notable winners. This sector seemed to be more adversely affected by the possibility of a double dip recession than any other. Problem holdings, mainly from the summer, were Micron Technology, Marvell, and Western Digital. On the plus side, Rovi Corporation, a leading provider of digital entertainment solutions and the Fund's largest current holding posted strong gains. Rovi recently announced that it was going to acquire Sonic Solutions, the largest position in the Aston/Veredus Aggressive Growth Fund (VERDX) small-cap fund. Semiconductor company Broadcom was another big winner as a major player in the wireless, video, and multimedia content markets.
Energy holdings in the Fund proved to be a mixed bag for the year after having a solid fourth quarter. Performance was hurt early in the summer as several natural gas holdings couldn't deliver despite the record heat. Our focus on service names such as Weatherford International during the fourth quarter was a different story, however, as the sector rose strongly adding to the Fund's strong outperformance during the period.
Outlook for 2011
We are very constructive going into 2011, much like we were entering 2010, barring any unforeseen macroeconomic event. The two things we fear the most are the price of gasoline choking off the recovery and a state defaulting on its debt. The latter would be much more short-lived, the former could potentially lead to another bear market. Nevertheless, the first half of the year should see the market move higher as the back half will have to deal with increased uncertainty. This feels and looks a lot like how we exited 2004 and entered 2005. The most important aspect as far as we are concerned is that it appears stock-picking is back and we are once again being rewarded for earnings moving up and to the right as we say internally. We are hopeful and confident this is the beginning of a long cycle in what we do—focus on earnings and finding great companies that can execute their respective business models. Good luck in the upcoming New Year.

An investigation into grade-changing and cheating during the 2006-07 school year at Radnor High School has found "systemic inadequacies" in the school district's procedures, as well as ignorance of educational law and a failure to respect professional lines of authority.
The finding was made public in a report, issued yesterday, that seeks to close a difficult period for the Radnor School District.
For the last several months, the administration and teachers - who discovered some of the grade changes by accident - were at odds, and there were fears that other changes had gone undiscovered. Superintendent Gary Cooper resigned in April, citing personal reasons, and acting principal Joseph Cannella returned to his assistant principal position.
