Two brothers face charges of stealing diesel fuel from a parked tractor-trailer in Sayreville early today and then trying to run down a truck driver who discovered them, police said.
Wilfredo Sevilla, 39, and his brother, Victor Sevilla, 23, both of Brentwood, N.Y., were arrested shortly before 3 a.m., minutes after they were discovered pumping fuel from a truck parked outside a steel plant on Crossman Road, police Sgt. David Lasko said.
At 2:49 a.m., a truck driver from the Parlin section of Sayreville was driving to the area where trucks pick up loads of steel each morning. When the driver approached the plant, he saw his friend's parked truck with a hose coming from the fuel tank and leading to the flatbed of an adjacent truck. The Parlin man's friend was not at the scene.
As the man walked to his friend's truck, Wilfredo Sevilla, who was driving the flatbed, started driving forward, heading directly for him and forcing him to jump out of the way, Lasko said.
The Parlin man quickly called police, who stopped the fleeing Sevilla on Washington Road minutes later, authorities said.
"He reeked of diesel fuel," Lasko said.
In the flatbed, officers found Victor Sevilla and a pump connected to a 275-gallon storage tank, the sergeant said.
Wilfredo Sevilla, in his haste to flee, left the hose dangling so it sprayed fuel down the street, Lasko said. Firefighters were called to wash down the fuel.
Wilfredo Sevilla was charged with aggravated assault and theft, and his brother was charged with theft and conspiracy. Both were being held on $50,000 bail yesterday at the Middlesex County jail in North Brunswick.

The tourism industry is divided on the merits of mining, says Tourism Industry Association chief executive Tim Cossar.
The association's members are split roughly equally for and against mining, although they are generally against additional mining in national parks.
"If you're just relying on tourism, or just relying on dairying, or just relying on sheep or beef you're playing a game of Russian roulette really as an economy," Cossar said.
"I think most people would say you need a portfolio of industries that have got the potential to grow.
"Canada has much more extractive industry than us and they're still a higher-ranked tourism brand."
In a submission on Government mining proposals, the association said national parks were anchors of the international perception of New Zealand's clean and green image and additional mining of parks could harm the country's reputation.
Mining proposals for public land had to clearly meet high levels of environmental and community scrutiny, Cossar said.
Sustainability, issues around the environment and the impact of tourism would come to the fore again.
"This one is going to be nation-defining for us," he said.
"I don't think we're going to be able to avoid this discussion as a country.
"This is going to be one of the things that really determines the success and future brand of our country."
Associate Tourism Minister Jonathan Coleman said the Government's proposal was a document for discussion of removing some Department of Conservation land from the protection of Schedule Four.
"We are extremely conscious that our branding internationally is vital to the tourism industry and we don't want to do anything that's going to damage that brand," Coleman said.
International tourism expenditure made a $9.3 billion economic contribution in the year ended March 2009.
"The fact that tourists are going to increasingly judge our exports on our environmental performance drives the Government's introduction of an emissions trading scheme, which is going to start in New Zealand from July 1," said Coleman.

This is my favourite gluten-free recipe ever. It works every time without fail, and the muffins are delicious. We use the bread flour for Maria Oostveen's bread (also found on this site) and omit the xanthan because it's already in the bread recipe. We also add a cup of chocolate chips, because... yum!

"Lee Allen Howard's Call of the Piss Fairy is an inventive psychological horror novel with a voice that's as stylish as it is dark." —Dustin LaValley, author of The Deceived
Armed with electric hair trimmers and a military fighting knife, Russell accepts his dark commission.
There's more than one way to skin a cat…
Russell Pisarek is 26 years old and still wets the bed. He grew up different from other young men because his vicious mother punished him for wetting by shaving his head. When he confided this to his girlfriend Tina, she betrayed him by advertising his problem to all their high school classmates. He took out his frustration by skinning neighborhood cats.
Now fixated on paying women back, Russell fantasizes about finding just the right girl—so he can shave her bald. He struggles to overcome his dark tendencies, but when his sister discovers he's wetting again, she kicks him out of her house.
During this time of stress, the mythical Piss Fairy appears in his dreams, and Russell is driven to satisfy his twisted desires with his innocent coworker Uma, who also needs a new roommate.
When his plans go awry, the Piss Fairy commissions him for a much darker task that graduates him from shaving to scalping—and worse.

Who's Pinki Pramanik? And is there more to her than meets the eye?
So who's this Pinki whose MMS the media are all abuzz about? Some new starlet? This is why I say, don't open your mouth and display your ignorance. It's actually not a laughing matter. It's an MMS of a leaked video of a naked Pinki Pramanik undergoing a gender test.
Pinki who? And that you don't know this is even less of a laughing matter. Pinki Pramanik is an athlete from West Bengal. She was considered PT Usha's successor at one point. Made her international debut at the 2003 World Youth Championships in Athletics where she reached the 800 metres semi-finals. Then she won the gold in 4×400 metres relay at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. She also won a silver medal at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games the same year in the 400 metres relay race.
So she's taking part in the Olympics? No, no. She actually retired four years ago. Had a hamstring injury. Which didn't allow her to qualify for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. But now she's gone from the shining star of the country to the secret no one seems to want to speak of.
For what? For getting a ham-string injury four years back? You're kidding me. She's an athlete, that's bound to happen. Nah, not because of the injury. It turns out that Pinki has been felled by the age-old mistake wise men have been victim to. She scorned a woman and as we all know, hell hath no fury like a…
I don't follow you. She has a girlfriend who's pissed off at her? So what? Well, on June 14th, her female live-in partner who she's been living with for three years filed a police complaint accusing Pinki of being a male who repeatedly "raped and tortured" her. Then the cops arrested Pinki from her Baguiati flat and remanded her to 14 days' judicial custody. The Eastern Railway, with whom she's a ticket collector, suspended her on June 16th following the judicial custody. The rumour is that she refused to marry her partner. The partner got pissed off and made a police complaint. And that's when the can of worms opened up.
So Pinki's a guy? And no one noticed? Obviously her live-in partner's not the brightest cookie in the box. Well, Pinki was born in Tilakdi, which is a village near Ayodhya Hills. Her mother, Pushparani, gave birth to her at home with the help of a midwife – so there's no medical certificate to hold up as proof of her gender. But the villagers and her family have gone on record to say that they knew Pinki was a girl.
So it's basically the word of her miffed partner? Well, yeah. There've been claims that there was a complaint lodged against Pinki when she "over-performed" during the heats of a tournament. And one of her coaches said that a sex determination test was scheduled but Pinki pulled out of the competition. But the coach refuses to be named. So I wouldn't put much faith in these reports. The West Bengal Athletic Association's secretary, Kamal Maitra has also gone on record to say that she's undergone many sex determination tests – which you have to before international competitions and even while being recruited by the Railways. And there've never been any questions raised about her gender.
So back-track a little. How come she made it into athletics from some small hamlet in Bengal? Her dad, Durga Charan, had once given an interview saying that the first time Pinki competed in Jharkhand in 2000 she won medals and got a cow and a goat as gifts from the organisers. Then some rich villagers from Tilakdi offered to sponsor her. For the longest time in fact, she used to run barefoot.
Aah, Leander Paes wouldn't be too impressed by that. Yes, we all know how kindly he spoke of Vishnu Vardhan not having grass court shoes.
So all these claims are poppycock and hogwash? Well that's not clear. Her detractors have claimed that it's not all a case of "mistaken identity" as it's being made out to be. There have been various statements made to the media that after winning the gold in the 4x400m relay at the Doha Asian Games in 2006, she was suddenly pulled out from the subsequent 100m race by the Athletic Federation of India after Santhi Soundarajan, another female Indian athlete, failed the gender test in Doha.
Hmm. So she's not the first one to get enmeshed in this kind of a controversy? Far from it. There's Santhi Soundarajan, who was a middle-distance runner who won the 800m silver at the 2006 Doha Asian Games. She was stripped of the medal after failing the gender-verification test. According to reports, Santhi might have been born with an inter-sexed condition known as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS). I'll give it to the government though, that in January 2006 the Tamil Nadu chief minister, Karunanidhi, awarded her a television set and a cash prize of Rs 15 lakh for her Doha Games win. In September 2007, she was reported to have attempted suicide as a result of these questions about her gender, but survived.
So, that's just the one person? No there was one more. Not Indian though. Caster Semenya. A 21-year-old South African middle-distance runner who won the 800m gold in 2009 World Championships and was immediately made to undergo a "gender test". The IAAF said that this was to determine whether she had a "rare medical condition" giving her an unfair competitive advantage. Turned out that Semenya was brought up as a girl and had external female genitalia, but no ovaries or uterus. She was born with un-descended testes, which gave her three times the amount of testosterone of an average female and, therefore, an edge over competitors. She went through this same humiliation of public scrutiny and media questioning as Pinki and was barred from competitions. Only to be cleared of the charges and classified as a female by the IAAF.
So what's the story now? Is Pinki a boy or a girl? Well, she's undergone three gender determination tests at a private clinic – Uma Nursing Home and two government hospitals, Barasat Sub-Divisional Hospital and SSKM Hospital. All the tests were inconclusive. Although, Subrata Mukherjee of Uma Nursing Home where the test was conducted told the media – which is so professional of him – that, "the reports conducted by us show that Pramanik is a male".
Woah! How can the doctor conducting the tests be speaking to the media? That's the whole thing. The entire arrest and testing has been done with no sense of privacy for Pinki. She's always accompanied by male cops – almost as if it's already been decided that she's a man. She's even been kept in the men's jail.
And what about the MMS? Well, it shows Pinki lying naked on a bed. The first claim was that it was shot at Uma Nursing Home when she was undergoing her gender test. Now her lawyer's claiming that it's actually been shot by Pinki's partner and circulated by her.
Lovely, this just gets better and better. You can say that again. Obviously anything goes when it comes to the cops and government doctors nowadays. Which shouldn't surprise us, actually. So the MMS has been pulled off after it was able to be viewed online last night. No one is certain it got there and not too many people care it seems. And there's no word from her partner through all this. Pinki's family has also not yet reached Calcutta from her village, so no one can even lodge a complaint against the MMS on her behalf with the cops. Not a pretty place to be in. No job, no partner, your integrity in tatters. And for all we know, all this could simply be because of a scorned lover.
Mamata Banerjee hasn't made any statements? That's odd. Well, you know how allergic she is to the "rape" word. And rumours are that the government is keeping quiet and out of this investigation, just in case she does turn out to be a male, because then they'll have to return the medals. And with the Olympics round the corner, the less controversy for our athletes the better.
A conspiracy. The C-word. Well, that's the theory and it is West Bengal. And Pinki's claiming it's a conspiracy against her. So many conspiracies. And no clarity.
Do watch: Tootsie and Running Man (back-to-back) if possible.
Don't sing: "I'm a dude, she's a dude, he's a dude, we're all dudes…"
Do ask: The female of the species is deadlier than the male?

Is it just me, or is every member of the " WWE Universe " getting completely tired of seeing the same guys headline Pay Per Views.
It seems like the WWE has built its list of " Main Eventers " and has excluded some of the most popular superstars from the list.
Lets be honest, it gets BORING seeing John Cena vs Edge, John Cena vs Randy Orton over and over again.
So, I have accumulated a list of ten superstars that should be getting a push but, have to take a back seat to John Cena and company, because " The Front Office " is holding them back.
This list is just full of my opinions.

There were four passengers and six crew members aboard the Moonlight Lady, a 65-foot passenger yacht that plies the waters of Lake Champlain, when I took a trip there recently with my mother.
Our overnight lake excursion is the only one of its kind operating out of Burlington, Vt. Snacks were waiting for us in the dining room, and the crew made sure that we would never suffer from thirst.
The Moonlight Lady is a throwback to an era when traveling by water was both functional and glamorous. Overnight passenger ships taking travelers to towns such as St. Albans in Vermont and Westport and Port Kent in New York disappeared from Lake Champlain more than 50 years ago.
The Moonlight Lady was once the Bonny Blue, an overnight sailing ship in Virginia's Dismal Swamp Canal. In 2007, Mike Shea, who also offers 90-minute to 2 1/2 -hour cruises on the Ethan Allen out of Burlington, bought, refurbished, expanded and renamed her.
In her new incarnation, the Lady has eight staterooms, plenty of deck space, a large dining room with an open kitchen and an entertainment room.
In our room, the two small beds were arranged in an L-shape. Our bathroom operated as both a shower and a toilet stall, and our mirror concealed a closet. The bath products, which to my surprise even included makeup remover, were Gilcrest & Soames.
I spent some time in the pilothouse, watching Capt. Stan Walker steer the boat. "Lake Champlain has many faces," he said. "I love the way it's constantly changing. Every day it's just as dramatic as the day before."
The lake, nestled between the Green Mountains of Vermont and New York's Adirondacks, seemed to be smiling at us as we pulled away from Burlington's waterfront. We passed Rock Dunder, a solitary boulder jutting out of the lake. A crew member told us that during the Revolution, the British had mistaken it for a ship and attacked, hence the name. (There were two other theories of how it got its name, but I liked this one best.)
Then we passed Shelburne Farms, a National Historic Landmark established in 1886. It remains a working farm with a cheesemaking operation.
We drifted by several small islands, some of them private. One was Juniper Island, home to one of the oldest lighthouses on the lake. Then there was Diamond Island. It was tiny and had an equally tiny wooden house on it. "That little thing is someone's idea of paradise," said Capt. Stan.
At Basin Harbor, we spotted the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and the replica gunboat from Benedict Arnold's Revolutionary War fleet.
It took us five hours to get to Westport, a quaint little town with antique shops, a bookstore and an inn.
The next morning Capt. Stan invited us into the pilothouse and pointed out the yellow mooring buoys that mark the many shipwrecks deep in the lake. He and his wife regularly dive down to look at them. "It's like a wonderful piece of history," he said.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama _ A civil war of sorts is brewing between several Southern states that has nothing to do with slavery and everything to do with states' rights.
It's over water - specifically, the Tennessee River - and whether Georgia can legally tap into it to feed sprawling metro Atlanta.
The Alabama Legislature approved a resolution last week to counter a move by Georgia legislators who are seeking a feasibility study of channeling water from the Tennessee River basin to the Atlanta area.
Huntsville, Scottsboro, Decatur and other North Alabama communities downstream are rightfully concerned. Large withdrawals for uses outside the Tennessee River water basin pose a threat because the water isn't returned to the basin.
Major users within a watershed - municipalities, farm operations, industrial plants - return much of that water after water treatment processes. With "inter basin transfers," the water is simply gone.
The sponsor of the Alabama river protection measure, state Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, wants Attorney General Luther Strange to take whatever legal action is necessary to stop Georgia from advancing such a plan. Georgia, likewise, is studying its legal options.
The Georgia Assembly passed measures last month that recommended a study to look into pumping water out of four north-flowing Georgia creeks that feed into the Tennessee River. The water would be pumped into quarries for use during peak demand periods.
The dispute took an odd twist some time ago with Georgia's claims that its state line was wrongly surveyed two centuries ago, and that part of the Tennessee River should actually be in Georgia. That, Georgia water advocates argue, gives Georgia riparian rights to the Tennessee River.
The boundary dispute is still continuing.
No one can blame Georgia for its aggressiveness. These so-called "water wars" have been going on since at least 1990 when Georgia, Florida and Alabama began fighting over the right to take water from Lake Lanier, the Coosa River, the Lanier-fed Chattahoochee River, and now the Tennessee River.
Tensions increased in the drought of 2007 when thirsty Atlanta nearly pumped Lake Lanier dry. That led to multiple lawsuits and a federal court order for Atlanta to find sources of water other than Lake Lanier.
The recent Georgia Assembly resolution cites the possibility of withdrawing water from four north-flowing Georgia tributaries in the northern part of the state, pump it into abandoned quarries for storage, and distribute it via a pipeline along a railroad right of way and "thence to areas of the state in need of additional water supplies."
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has said it has not received any request from Georgia but that the department cannot regulate water in streams in Georgia.
Other Georgia bills have been introduced that would exempt Tennessee River basin streams from potential water transfer laws and allow for public-private water deals.
Georgia may need the water for its growing population but Alabama needs sufficient water for farms, municipalities, fisheries and industrial users. Indeed, Huntsville Utilities is planning a third water treatment plant along the Tennessee River at a site near Guntersville Dam.
The challenges will only get bigger as the Southeast continues to grow. If Georgia convinces federal regulators it is pursuing conservation vigorously, it might ultimately win the rights to some of the shared waters. At the same time, Georgia needs to realize its neighbors have legitimate water needs, too, and refrain from nonsense like challenging 200-year old state boundary lines.
Together, we must all be more responsible with this precious natural resource.

Sheen Out of Ballpark
Charlie Sheen, soon to take over the lead of "Spin City," is selling his beloved -- and impressive -- baseball memorabilia collection, but it's not because he's hard up for cash. "He just didn't think at the end of the day he really needed all this stuff," a Sheen rep told the New York Post. Sheen, who starred in the baseball flicks "Eight Men Out" and "Major League," calls his collection his "own personal Cooperstown." Among the items: the only existing uniform worn by Ted Williams during his record-breaking 1941 season, a ball autographed by seven of the eight players who conspired to throw the 1919 World Series, and the 1986 World Series slow-roller involved in a play between Met Mookie Wilson and Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner. Sheen had purchased that last item in 1992 for $93,000. Leland's auction house is handling the April 27 and 28 sale.

Somewhere on the lonely Panhandle prairie lies a Luis Vitton belt, lost forever perhaps.
But the belt's buckle - inscribed with "L.V." - may have left a permanent mark on the forehead of a robbery suspect who got more than he bargained for.
Amarillo police took two men into custody early Thursday after two men burglarized the 24th Discount Store at Northeast 24th Avenue and U.S. Highway 136, Sgt. Randy TenBrink of the Amarillo Police Department said.
Matthew Gonzales, 24, and Michael Gonzales, 23, are charged with aggravated robbery, according to the police report and jail records. They remained in Potter County Detention Center late Thursday in lieu of a $7,500 bond each.
About 12:25 a.m., two men rammed a 1978 Chevrolet Malibu through the store's front doors and carried out beer, cigarettes and other items such as ginseng extract and socks.
"They just had armloads of clothes they were hauling out," TenBrink said.
Several drivers passed - as recorded on the security video - and didn't call police. But then Tuan Nguyen, 20, and Tuan Lun, 18, drove by.
Nguyen and Lun had been out bowling with the store owner's son, Vinh Pham, 20, and had just left his home. Nguyen realized the store was being burglarized.
"We busted a U (turn)," he said, "for more backup."
Nguyen got Pham and another friend, who sped to the store in Pham's Lexus. The Malibu was pulling out and a high-speed chase ensued on Highway 136.
"They were going about 140 mph on the highway," Nguyen said. "If it weren't for that Lexus, we wouldn't have caught him."
The car chase ended after the Malibu ran off the road and blew out two tires. One man fled on foot, but the Malibu's driver continued on two rims before leaping out of the car and running across a field.
Nguyen called 911, alerting Potter County deputies, and then got jumper cables to use as a weapon. Someone else had the Luis Vitton belt, which belongs to Lun.
Nguyen said the man they were chasing had a knife and he slashed Pham and stabbed another pursuer in the back. Pham whacked the fleeing man in the face with the Luis Vitton belt buckle, Nguyen said.
Amarillo police arrived with two K-9 dogs and tracked down a suspect. They also arrested the suspect who fled earlier.

Angryfilms' Murphy, Montford co-producing adaptation
Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing a bigscreen adaptation of DC Comics' "Deadman" to life.
Pic is being produced by Guillermo del Toro along with Angryfilms' Don Murphy and his producing partner Susan Montford.
The character is a ghost who, when alive, was a circus acrobat named Boston Brand. He was murdered during a trapeze performance by an unknown assailant but his spirit was granted the power to possess the living in order to search for his murderer as well as help the innocent.
Producers are working on giving "Deadman" a contemporary take and are zeroing in on a screenwriter to adapt for the screen.
Del Toro's latest pic, the Cannes competition selection "Pan's Labyrinth," is due to have its North American preem at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.
Murphy's Angryfilms is editing the Michael Davis-directed "Shoot 'Em Up" starring Clive Owen and has "Transformers" in front of cameras.

Here is a short summary of the discussion I hosted woth two young changemakers from Uganda and Sierra Leone on the viability of SDGs and their relevance in the next phase of the development agenda. Please see attached and let me know what you think.
Thank you.
Hi, JudyAnnet, I am glad you bring here the thoughts and perspectives of two women from Sierra Leone and Benin in West Africa. It would be interesting to follow where the SDGs would lead the world's poorest countries especially in the uplift of women and in gender empowerment. I have been to Benin once about half a decade ago and was amazed at how the countrywomen were actively combating desertification at climate change's Ground Zero.Please keep us informed.
Blessings, libudsuroy
''Every Day is a Journey and the Journey itself is Home.'' (Matsuo Basho)
Thank you for writing. Actually these particular people were young men but within the the year I will interviewing many women working at the ground in Africa to see the sort of effort they are putting towards SDGs. Women definitely are a main factor in these development phase in different sectors including climate change like you mentioned in Benin. I will keep you posted.

The plan allows dieters to eat a satisfying amount of food by consuming low-calorie, filling items. For example, if you're a snacker, you can choose lots of fruit instead of one Hershey's kiss.
The diet also offers advice on making attainable goals, staying motivated and getting regular exercise.
The amount you eat depends on your calorie goal, which can range from 1,200 to 1,800 per day, based on your gender and starting weight.

According to wii.nintendolife, the Japan-only Fatal Frame IV, the English translation downloadable patch is released.
heres the link zero4.higashinoeden.comNow more "look behind you!" in English
Experience the Japan-only horror game in a language you understand
Even though it may be denied an official release outside of Japan, fans of Tecmo's creepy-spooky Fatal Frame IV have taken the localization efforts into their own hands to do what Nintendon't and deliver a patch to fully translate the game into English. Yes, Virginia, it's done.
All you need is an SD card and an official Japanese retail copy of the game. The patch will work on any Wii, so no need to worry about pesky region locks or such, and you're not required to install the Homebrew Channel (although there's a loader for it for those that do). The fine folks responsible for the project have even gone so far as to create an extra costume pack.
Fatal Frame IV was developed by Grasshopper Manufacture (No More Heroes, Killer 7) and Tecmo and published by Nintendo in Japan in June 2008. As in the rest of the series, players are tasked with fighting off hostile spirits using an old camera obscura. Nintendo has stated that they won't be bringing the game Westward, so this is your best shot at experiencing it. So go get it! Well, that and a retail disc. You're on your own with that.

It's not the new dormitory or the 55,000-square-foot chapel in The Master's College expansion plans that are worrying some of the residents; it's the thought of bringing more cars to Dockweiler Drive and Deputy Jake Drive that irks them.
The plans will bring swift-moving traffic to a neighborhood that already sees motorists speeding and ignoring stop signs, residents living near the two streets told the Planning Commission on Tuesday. Some of the streets don't have sidewalks and children often walk down the streets to and from McGrath Elementary School, the residents said.
"We're having trouble getting our people going the right speed limit now," said resident Javier Marquez. "It's a miracle something hasn't happened to those kids."
"No one ever stops. It's insane," said Kathleen Allen, who lives on the corner of Dockweiler and Valle del Oro.
A separate project proposed by the city would connect Dockweiler Drive to Lyons Avenue in downtown Newhall. Dockweiler would then eventually stretch from Sierra Highway to Lyons Avenue. Dockweiler would be considered a secondary highway and would be fully paved the size of a four-lane road, but only striped as a two-lane road initially.
The Placerita Canyon Property Owners Association is supporting the project, but residents living on the nearby hill said they feel left out.
Consultant Dennis Hardgrove said, "We will continue to work to (the Placerita Canyon Property Owners Association) and will continue a dialogue with the Hidden Knolls community."
Commissioner Bill Kennedy asked city staff to start addressing the issue now and beef up enforcement of those who speed and ignore stop signs along Dockweiler Drive.
The road extension is separate from the Master Plan, which includes a new chapel, two classrooms, a new dormitory and 257 more parking spaces. There will also be additions and some demolition to existing buildings on campus. Another part of the plan calls for 54 multi-family condominium units south of the future Dockweiler Drive.
The commission agreed to continue the public hearings and will dig into potential environmental issues when commissioners review the draft Environmental Impact Report at a July 29 special meeting.
Commissioners will discuss issues and concerns at public hearings expected to last through the fall.

Overhearing Part of a Conversation: Shutts as a Moment in a Long Dialogue
Stephen C. Yeazell
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
April 17, 2006
UCLA School of Law Research Paper No. 06-19
Phillips Petroleum v. Shutts, the topic of a recent symposium, looks backwards as well as forwards. In its backwards-looking aspect Shutts suggests what federal diversity jurisdiction might have become. In its forward-looking aspect Shutts suggests the problems that will arise under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. This essay uses Shutts to sketch a new role for diversity jurisdiction, and it uses Shutts' facts to explain how we might begin to resolve the issues that CAFA will create.

Well, it has been a thoroughly entertaining month of play, but today, it must end with one winner.
Germany meets Argentina for the third time in the World Cup Final today at 3 p.m., at the Estádio Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. This is also the third straight tournament that the teams have played in the knockout stages, with Germany advancing on penalties in 2006, and by a 4-0 scoreline in South Africa in 2010.
The two other times the teams have played in the final came in back-to-back tournaments, which some say were the contrast between possibly the best final ever played, and the worst. In the 1986 match in Mexico, there were three goals in the last 16 minutes of the game. West Germany came from two goals down to tie the score, only to see Jorge Burruchaga score in the 84th minute, to give Argentina a 3-2 win, and its second title in three tournaments. The 1990 final, played in Rome, was a match marred by two red cards, and was won 1-0 by West Germany, after Andreas Brehme scored on an 85th minute penalty kick.
So now we come to the rubber match. For the German side, this is the culmination of all the work the German Federation did after the 2000 European Championship debacle, where the team crashed out with only a point, which included a 3-0 loss to Portugal, and 1-0 defeat to the English. The federation took two million Euros from each Bundesliga club and invested in a new grassroots program, to build the next generation of footballers. According to David Conn, who wrote a story in 2012 for The Guardian, the DFB has spent in upwards of 700 million Euros, as of 2012, and Germany now has a golden generation of players, both for the national team, and at club level.
The list of players that are absent from the German squad through injury is remarkable. Marco Reus, Ilkay Gundogan, Holger Badstuber, and the Bender brothers all would have played in this tournament if healthy, and all are 25 years old or younger.
The team that Germany will put on the field, in light of the players that are injured, is staggering: Thomas Müller, who at only 24 years of age has the opportunity to win the Golden Boot for the second World Cup in a row; Manuel Neuer, the sweeper-keeper, and a rock in the net; Mats Hummels, a goal-scoring defender; Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira, and Mesut Ozil in midfield; Andre Schurrle, coming off the bench to score big goals. All are products of the grassroots programs, and all are in their mid-twenties.
Argentina has attacking talent all over the pitch, but the spotlight will be on one player above all. Lionel Messi has the opportunity to put his name into the pantheon of footballers, where his name will ring across time as one of the titans of the sport. He has all the individual awards, as well as club honors. The one thing Messi has not done yet is win a World Cup.
Angel di Maria is out once again for the Argentines, and they had to play 120 minutes Wednesday, while the Germans were in cruise control in the second half in their match on Tuesday. Argentina's defense, once thought to be its weakness, has been solid in the knockout games. Head coach Alejandro Sabella has announced that this will be his last match in charge of the side, so that could work in the favor of the Argentines as well.
Germany has a chance to make all kinds of history today. No European team has ever won the title in the Western Hemisphere, and Germany has never won outside Europe, losing the 2002 final 2-0 to Brazil, along with the 1986 final. This is Germany's eighth trip to the final, and it can become the first team to eliminate the same opponent three tournaments in a row.
Argentina will look to continue the South American dominance in World Cup's hosted in North and South America. This is the eighth tournament that has been played in the Western Hemisphere, and all seven have been won by Argentina, Brazil, or Uruguay.
So, it is prediction time. Led by Thomas Müller's brace, Germany will win 3-1, and start a new period of dominance that will continue into the 2016 European Championship, and the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
• How amazing, or ridiculous, is it that the 2016 European qualifying begins the weekend of September 6? Three weeks into the Premier League season, and a break occurs, just 50 or so days after the World Cup Final.
• Join me, and The Director, as well as Mark Eckel, today at Dacey's Pub in Morrisville, for a celebration to mark the end of this fantastic World Cup. For $20, one gets draft beer, an appetizer buffet, and a chance to win some prizes. 215 West Philadelphia Avenue, and the festivities kick off at 2:30 p.m.
• As we celebrate the end of this fantastic World Cup, tomorrow all the attention will turn to the various domestic leagues, some of which get under way in less than a month, and the two UEFA tournaments, of which the Europa League has already started with the qualification process.
The big news Friday in the Premier League came from the runners-up. Luis Suarez, apparently fed up with the lack of trophies, has left Liverpool for Barcelona. Whether one thinks that the biting incident at the World Cup was engineered by him to get a move away, or one just thinks he is crazy, two things are clear about this move. Liverpool is much weaker than it was last season, and Barcelona is very much stronger. The Spanish side now has an attacking front three of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez, when the four month ban is finished, or lifted, and Suarez can return to play.
Liverpool, on the other hand, replaced Suarez, and his 31 league goals, with Rickie Lambert, a 32-year-old striker.
It will be interesting how much of the money is spent from the transfer deal, but with all the clubs around it getting stronger, Liverpool will be hard pressed to bring in someone of the quality of Suarez. That may be cause for a step backwards for the club.
• Speaking of La Liga, the top of the league just continues to get stronger.
Real Madrid has signed Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid signed Mario Mandzukic, also from Bayern. Mandzukic replaces Diego Costa, who signed with Chelsea, and in fact might be a better player for Atletico. If it can replace Thibaut Courtois, who went back to Chelsea after his loan spell, there is every possibility that it will be a three-horse race once again for the La Liga title, and also for all the other silverware that will be up for grabs this season.

Credit card use is up, and that's great news for industry heavies Visa (NYSE: V ) and MasterCard (NYSE: MA ) , both of which have been on a tear over the past few month. To make things even sweeter, delinquencies have dropped, too, and now stand at a level not seen since 1990.
For consumers, however, the jump in swiping activity is having a deleterious effect -- and not on their financial health. According to The Street, research has found that using a credit card can lead to weight gain, ostensibly because purchasers are more apt to buy junk food or pricey gourmet items. The same effect was not found in consumers using a debit card -- or cash -- which tend to limit overspending by removing the "buy now, pay later" factor.
It doesn't look like Visa and MasterCard need to worry, though. Not only is consumer card-swiping increasing as the public's perception of the economy improves, but both companies also provide debit card services, as well.
A terrific year
Both card companies have seen their fortunes rise over the past year, and they've been garnering attention for their impressive gains, which have pushed both toward their 52-week highs. Analysts note that these companies are especially well-positioned to take advantage of an improving economy, as increased consumer confidence leads to more credit card purchases.
In addition to domestic markets, both companies have been focusing on emerging economies, where historically cash transactions are beginning to segue into credit and debit card purchases. In the first quarter of 2013, MasterCard reported an increase in global payment volume of 11%, and Visa notched gains of 7%.
Banks love plastic, too
Big banks make a nifty profit from the credit card industry, and both Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) made note of this in their recent earnings reports. Wells reported that its revenue growth was partially aided by double-digit revenue growth in its credit card department, and JPMorgan also showed growth of 10% year over year in its own credit card sales division.
Banks are especially fond of interchange fees, tasty little nuggets that are created each time a consumer swipes his credit card. Last year, the battle between retailers and card issuers over swipe fees resulted in a settlement, one from which many retail stores, led by Target (NYSE: TGT ) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT ) have since opted out.
These swipe fees can add up to around $40 billion each year for banks, which is why they are getting involved in a state-by-state push to enact laws to prevent retailers from charging consumers extra when they make a credit card purchase. Both banks and card issuers are concerned that such a fee would reduce the utilization of credit cards, thus cutting into profits. For its part, Visa has sued Walmart to force it to accept the original $7.25 billion settlement.
Dispute hasn't dinged profits
Despite all the hullaballoo over interchange fees, Visa and MasterCard have had a brilliant year. As the economy -- and consumer confidence -- continues to improve, these two companies will reap the rewards.

The reserve list site was triggered for tender when the minimum bid was met last month.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority has released a 30-year leasehold site at Yishun Avenue 9 for sale via public tender. Spanning 1.2 ha, the plot was listed on the reserve list in December last year.
A commitment in August by an unnamed developer to meet the minimum bid of SGD 14.2 million triggered the release of the site for sale.
With a maximum permissible gross plot ratio of 2.5 and carrying a Business 1 zoning, the site may be applied towards a variety of uses, including clean and light industries. The site, Parcel 6, is close to the Yishun Industrial Park and Yishun Town, which provides nearby F&B, retail and entertainment amenities.
URA said that the tender for the site will end on 26 September this year, with the winner selected on the basis of the tendered land price only.
In other news, a tender for an industrial site at Bukit Batok Street 23 has been awarded to Soilbuild Group Holdings Ltd. Soilbuild offered SGD 32.32 million - the highest out of four bids for the 30-year leasehold site, which carries a maximum permissible gross plot ratio of 2.5 and has Business 1 zoning.

Susquehanna Folk Music Society presents Claude Methe and Dentdelion, 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Fort Hunter Centennial Barn, 5300 N. Front St., Susquehanna Township.
2:30 p.m. fiddle workshop; 6 p.m. potluck dinner.
Tickets: For workshop — $18; $10 students ages 3-22. For concert — $18; $10 students ages 3-22. Potluck supper free with covered dish to share.
Info: sfmsfolk.org.
If you're looking for great Sunday entertainment, head to Fort Hunter for a performance by French Canadian folk group Dentdelion, led by legendary Quebecoise fiddler Claude Methe.
In case you're wondering, Quebecoise is the traditional folk music of Quebec.
"Quebec has a very vibrant traditional folk music scene," Susquehanna Folk Music Society's executive director Jessica Hayden says. "There really seems to be a love among all Quebecoise for their music and dance traditions."
Claude Methe has been playing Quebecoise since 1974. He's completely self-taught, and after playing with many groups, he formed Dentdelion.
Dentdelion (whose name comes from the ancient French word for "dandelion") is an old-fashioned family band consisting of Methe and his wife, Dana Whittle, on guitar and vocals, and their daughter, Beatrice, on fiddle and vocals, as well as flutist Denise Levac and her son, Colin, on banjo, mandolin, guitar and vocals. Shwoosh!
It's worth noting that Beatrice Methe and Colin Levac are in their teens. I don't know about you, but when I was in my teens, I was not doing anything as meaningful as helping to keep an ancient folk music tradition alive. I was mostly concerned about flannel shirts and The Breeders.
But in Quebecoise, age has no bearing on one's love for the music.
"It's very common at [Quebecoise] folk festivals to see musicians of all ages jamming together," Hayden says. "One young man that I often see is 10 or 11 and an awesome button box accordion player."

Hamilton will have to make room for a new trophy in the case, the Southwest A Divisional Championship trophy. There's not another one like it in the case.
"This is the first divisional in school history," said Hamilton coach Mark Albert. "That was our goal."
Albert said that not making the trip to state last year didn't set well with his young team. "They committed themselves to getting there this year."
The Lady Broncs defeated Anaconda, 59-45, to claim the crown. They will advance to the Class A state tournament, March 13-15, in Great Falls. They will play Miles City at 2 pm on Thursday. Miles City is the No. 2 seed from the eastern conference and has a 12-9 record.
Hamilton's first half in the championship game was a 'clinic' according to Albert. The team executed their plays crisply on offense and played a tight defense that created 17 turnovers in the first half alone. Bri Huggans had three steals in the first quarter alone and either converted the steal to points or passed the ball on for the points. Taylor Goligoski had 18 points in the first half alone, including two treys. She went on to finish with 26 points.
"Taylor had an unbelievable start," said Albert. "Basically she said get on my back, we're going to do this."
But it's hard to sustain the intensity and pressure for a full 32 minutes according to Albert. Anaconda bounced back in the third quarter and scored 19 points and pushed the Lady Broncs a little. But just as their momentum was building, Hamilton's McKayl Rothie sent up a three point shot to put an end to that buildup. Hamilton went on to clench the title.
The lone senior on the team, Sami Kratofil summed it up, "It's just so fun to win. We knew they were going to make a run but we just knew we needed to lay back and just play our game and that's what we did."
Anaconda –Gallagher 5, L. Moodry 3, Forsberg 3, Knadler 5, Moodry 16, McNeil 2, Flynn 6, Huber 4, Johnson 1.
Hamilton – Taylor Goligoski 26, Brianna Huggans 7, Sami Kratofil 4, Ellie Hulbert 4, Kali Hayes 5, Jaylee Albert 3, McKayl Rothie 8.
Hamilton had a first-round bye as the No. 1 seed in the conference. They opened their tournament play against Butte Central. Albert said that team had a lot of confidence going into the game. "They are so well coached, young, and at home, we knew it was going to be tough."
Albert said he just hoped the game wasn't going to be as close as it turned out to be. The game was close throughout with no more than a six or seven point spread. As the clock ticked down, Butte Central kept the pressure on but free throws proved to be the deciding factor. Goligoski sank both her charity shots with 17 seconds remaining to put Hamilton up by three. Kratofil was fouled with 13 seconds left and sank one of two to give Hamilton the 50-49 victory.
Hamilton 50, Butte Central 49
Butte Central –Paffhausen 7, Pica 10, Trudnowski 6, Piazzola 7, Peoples 7, St. John 5, Ossello 2, McCurdy 5.
Hamilton – Albert 10, Goligoski 16, Huggans 10, Kratofil 13, Hayes 1.
Butte Central handed Stevensville their first loss of the tournament on Thursday. The Lady Yellowjackets stayed with the Maroons for a quarter before Butte Central went on a run. Stevensville lost, 43-24. Carly Vercruyssen and Kayla Peterson each had nine points for Stevi.
Stevensville played Dillon on Saturday morning in loser out action. Coach Joe Nisly said that his team felt confident, as they had just defeated Dillon last week. But their shots didn't fall through the hoop and the lack of size inside really hurt them. Stevensville lost, 40-18.
Corvallis opened against Anaconda and jumped out to an early lead in the game with a balanced scoring attack. By the end of the first quarter, Corvallis was up, 12-3. Corvallis continued to play scrappy defense and worked the ball around to Chelsi Clarke and Corrine Sanderson who were shooting well. Anaconda tied the game two minutes into the fourth quarter. The young Corvallis team was getting tired and made a few mistakes. Even still, they kept fighting and came back to tie the game two more times before Anaconda went on to win, 50-43. Jane Booth finished with 14 points, Corrine Sanderson with 13 and Clarke with 12.
Corvallis coach Zane Warnken was very proud of the effort his team put in both the tournament and the season. He felt they had worked hard all season and saw a huge improvement in the team.

I have an 18-year-old male cockatiel that sits in one place most of the day until I get home. Now he has sore, red feet. The vet said I should get "natural" as well as different diameter perches. Will this help? What should I do in the meantime? I hold him over a warm dish of water for five minutes (all he will stay), and then I put olive oil (that the bird store told me to use) on his feet. But I am afraid he will get too oily. Do you have any suggestions? He is now limping, and he is so sore. I am very upset over this. Any advice will be appreciated.
The foot problems your cockatiel is experiencing are not something that would have happened overnight, and it is possible that there is more than one factor contributing to his problem. You did not mention if a vet saw your cockatiel or if you called the vet office and were given advice over the phone.
The first order of business is to get your bird to a qualified veterinarian for an examination and treatment immediately. If possible, take your bird's cage to the vet with you. This will give the vet the opportunity to see the environment that the bird is housed in. The vet will be able to give you suggestions from what is observed and not just from your explanation of the cage and set up. It is advisable to take a sample of the food you are providing your cockatiel. Unless directed differently by the vet, stop all treatment until you have been properly advised.
As advised by your vet, change the current perches with natural perches in different diameters. When collecting branches, make sure they have not been sprayed with pesticides or chemicals and are free from rot and mold. Sizes should vary so that the feet grasp almost completely around in the smallest area and just about flattened when standing on the largest area. Perching that is not cylindrical and more irregular in shape will decrease the pressure placed on any one part of the foot. Keep perches clean. Fouled perches can aggravate the already existing foot problem. Perches should be replaced when fouled with feces, chewed or worn.
Do not locate perches above each other or above food and water containers. This would also include overlapping perches in cage corners or any other place feces would be dropped from an upper perch to the perch or dish below. Sandpaper perch covers should never be used in the cage. They do not have an effect on the length of the bird's nails and may predispose a bird to foot problems.
Nutritional deficiency can be a factor in the foot problems experienced by your cockatiel. The most common vitamin deficiency seen in pet birds is insufficient vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency often produces hardening or callousing of the epithelial tissues and roughness and scaling of the legs and feet. Good sources for providing vitamin A are yellow, orange and dark green leafy vegetables. Sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, squash, alfalfa sprouts, endive, kale, spinach and dandelion greens all contain vitamin A. It should be noted that long-term vitamin A deficiency can result in renal disease. It is also possible for a bird to overdose on vitamin A. Never add any vitamins to the diet of a bird on a pelleted diet, unless directed and supervised by a veterinarian.

Dr. Joan Diebold graduated from Brown University with a
Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Medicine. After graduating
from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary
Medicine, Dr. Diebold completed an internship at the MSPCA's
Angell Animal Medical Center in Western New England. Since
then she has been practicing veterinary medicine at a number
of hospitals in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
including two years at a practice specializing in birds and other
exotic pets.
Dr. Diebold's areas of special interest include internal
medicine, dermatology, cardiology, anesthesiology, feline
medicine, exotic animal medicine (especially birds and exotic
mammals), pain management, behavior, and western herbal
medicine. She is a member of the American Veterinary

Compassionate Care's philosophy is to focus on patient care as
well as client communications and client education. Our goal is
to provide the highest quality care to all of our patients. Every
effort will be made to combine the medical excellence found at
large hospitals with the individual attention and friendly
atmosphere of a small clinic.
We recommend routine screening for all healthy pets in order
to detect diseases early and prevent more serious problems
from occurring in the future. We sincerely believe that most
sick pets recover faster in a familiar environment, so,
whenever possible, we keep hospital stays to a minimum.
Compassionate Care Veterinary Center practices the safest
possible anesthesia and has extensive equipment for
monitoring all vital signs while our patients are under
anesthesia. All of our surgical patients go home with adequate
pain management designed around their individual needs.

Formac SCSI card for iMac needs termination or iMac will not start? Lorenzo Perone found that he could not startup his revision B iMac after installing the Formac iProRaid UW-SCSI card (the one that goes in the "unsupported" mezzanine slot) unless there was a terminated SCSI device attached to the card.

I've attempted to obtain my Wii by waiting in Best Buy lines for 3 separate weeks now, to no avail.
My friend calls me up and goes 'yo, i quit gaming man. I'm selling my Wii.' and i JUMP on the opportunity! Don't ask me why he quit gaming, it's very complicated I'm sure, and was probably highly influenced by his parents.
Anyway, so to make it quick and short, my aforementioned friend's Wii was at his Father's workplace, for what reason i do not know, and his dad was in Saudi Arabia on a business trip, so there was no way for me to get the Wii until this monday, and i was totally fine with that.
only problem is that his dad's flight kept getting delayed, and so i thought i would have it monday, nope, tuesday, nope, wednesday? please? nope, sorry, Dad's still in saudi Arabia. THEN FINALLY! HE ARRIVED TODAY! Thursday December 21st (just in time for Christmas) and i went over, bought the goddamn thing. Got Zelda too!! HOLY CRAP.
doesn't sound like much, but damn it's been stressful, i must say, there's been tons of dumb crap happening inbetween all those weeks, but i'm to lazy to talk about it all.
point is, i have my Wii, and i cant wait till Christmas to play it! WIIIIIIII!!!

Odin is a small astronomical/aeronomical satellite which was launched in February 2001. One of its capacities is the observation of the 110--101 line of water at 557 GHz with a high spectral resolution (corresponding to 80 m s-1) and a spatial resolution of 2 arcmin.
During its commissioning phase, Odin observed comet C/2001 A2 (LINEAR) several times in April and from June 20 until July 9, 2001. From a preliminary analysis, 10 \times 10 arcmin mapping of the 557 GHz water line on July 1.5--2.4 UTC shows that the H2O coma is elongated along the comet-Sun line. The line shape is asymmetric, which may be attributed to self-absorption in the foreground of the coma. The line width indicates a H2O outflow velocity of 0.7 km s-1. The integrated line intensity peaks at 12 K km s-1 on the main-beam brightness temperature scale. The corresponding water production rate is estimated at 3.8 \times 1028 molecules s-1 for July 1.7--2.0. The outflow velocity and water production rate agree with independent observations of the 18 cm lines of OH at the Nançay radio telescope.
Odin (http://www.snsb.se/odin/odin.html) is a Swedish-led satellite project funded jointly by SNSB (Sweden), CSA (Canada), Tekes (Finland) and CNES (France), Swedish Space Corporation being the prime contractor.

Witnesses told the NBC affiliate station, which aired footage of what appeared to be a blond woman receiving oxygen as she was carried on a stretcher, that an ambulance transported the patient to Health Central Hospital.
The station speculated, but could not confirm, that the middle-aged woman seen in the video was the patient taken from Woods's house, based on the time that the ambulance arrived at the hospital in Ocoee, the same facility where Woods was treated after his one-car crash the day after Thanksgiving.
The station further reported that a black Escalade seen leaving the hospital shortly afterward had registration information similar to the Escalade driven by Woods on the night of his crash. And another Orlando TV station, WOFL, reported that the patient later left the hospital.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the Orange County sheriff's office confirmed that at 2:35 a.m. the 911 center received a call for some sort of medical issue at Woods's house and turned it over to fire rescue. Contacted in Sweden, a spokeswoman for Barbro Holmberg, the mother of Tiger Woods's wife, Elin Nordegren, said she had not heard of the incident and did now know whether Holmberg was in Florida with her daughter, as has also been reported.

"If I'm going to a party and the host is my girlfriend or sisters, I'll make sure to bring Give Smiles and Give Twinkling Eyes—my absolute favorite picks for Holiday parties. The winterberry and himalayan snow hues of the mini lip glazes in Give Smiles are perfect for their skin tones, and Give Twinkling Eyes has all the prettiest eye color shades of the season. If I'm heading out to a party hosted by anyone else, I'll bring Give Soft Hands. You really can't go wrong with a trio of Hand Relief™!"
"Although I would rather give gifts than receive them... I love our Spa Days are A Gift set. I don't indulge in spa products for myself enough so when I get it as a gift I am excited! I love taking baths to unwind after a long day so the idea of lighting the new Holiday Candle and soaking in the bath with soothing aqua therapy bath salts sounds amazing."

The geniuses over at Activision have done it again, and breathed new life into their already incredibly popular franchise Skylanders. First was the incredible concept behind bringing physical toys to life on the video game screen, second they made some of the toys bigger in Skylanders Giants. Now they are adding tons of possibilities and customization through the next installment Skylanders SWAP Force.
It looks like from the trailer above that the Skylanders will be able to swap tops and bottoms with other Skylanders, so Magna Charge becomes Freeze Charge, with all new abilities and upgrades!
Of course this is genius on their part because yet again, you'll need to buy all new toys to accomplish this task! I know my daughter will be first in line to get the new toys and game, guess I already know what to get her for Christmas next year! Game is set to release this fall.

I moved a lot in France: I lived in the North, moved from Bordeaux to Grenoble, went in the South (with the beach and sun), and ended up in Paris. Wherever I have been, the living has been great so far, except for the North maybe.
I love travelling, meeting new people and learn about other culture, especially people coming from abroad. I like having some drinks and clubbing from time to time. I am also fond of music (listenning all kind) and movies.
I think Paris is the best city in France to meet very interesting people and enjoy their company. So, I hope we will get in touch very soon!
Playing music
Sleeping (that's also enjoying good moment)
My clothes
My good French
Movies...Man on fire, L'auberge Espagnole, Les poupées Russes, Moulin Rouge.
Shows... Battlestar Galactica, Suits, Outsourced, Fringe, Blue Moutain States, the Walkind Dead, Games of Thrones, Modern Family, How I Met your Mother, Dowtown Abbey
Music... Definitely not Metal/Hard Rock, otherwise all kind (really!), I discover and enjoy new style every day.

Pride and glory
June 23, 2011
Whilst we are on the subject of remarkable community achievements, here's one that would have been inconceivable a while ago. When Daniel Taub takes up his position later this year as Israeli Ambassador to the Court of St James, both he and his counterpart in Israel, Matthew Gould, will be British-born Jews.
Mr Gould is a class act, and has made a hugely positive impression in less than a year in Israel. Mr Taub has a hard act to follow here but those who know him in the UK - and there are many - speak immensely highly of him. Whatever strains there may be between governments, diplomacy could be entering a golden age.

PRESEASON GAMES are for sorting out roster questions.
Along the defensive line, the Eagles' choices just seem to keep getting harder.
"You want that, though," coach Andy Reid maintained Sunday. "It's a little bit like sweet and sour pork: There's a sour side and a sweet side. The sour being that not everybody can make the team; the sweet is that you sure want that position to be strong. I think we're going to come out with good players. Unfortunately, somebody else is going to get some good players, too. But that group has done a nice job."

Three-Pronged Methodology
The MSCM program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective conflict management practitioners by using a three-pronged approach:
- Balancing Theory
- Research
- Practice
Students are firmly grounded in the theoretical constructs of the field during the first semester of the program. In the second and third semesters, students learn how to conduct research and apply the theories of the field to specific practice areas: interpersonal, intergroup, community, workplace/organizational, intercultural and international. In the fourth semester students select an application area in which to specialize through research or an internship.
A hallmark of the MSCM program is the field study students perform during the final semester. This experience, which affords students the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained over the course of the program to a specific environment, prepares them to face the challenges of our complex global environment. Students are able to choose an area of the field in which to research or perform an internship, based on their unique interests in the field and their professional goals.
"Course assignments seek to blend methodological rigor with practical relevance. We endeavor to prepare our graduates to be thoughtful, competent and conscientious practitioners of conflict and conflict intervention."
-Dr. Timothy Hedeen, Full Professor of Conflict Management
