A New Jersey trucking company owner yesterday pleaded guilty to conspiring to pay off officials of a Teamsters Union local dominated by organized crime, in what federal officials said was a classic case of labor racketeering.
Francis J. Walsh, 43, of Saddle River, N.J., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy during a hearing before U.S. District Judge Joseph Rodriguez in Camden. Two other defendants also entered guilty pleas. A fourth is awaiting trial.
The charges against Walsh, head of Walsh Trucking & Consolidating Co. Inc. of Edison, N.J., originally were contained in a two-count federal indictment returned in March 1988.

Jonathan Bales: If OL Warmack and Cooper are there for Cowboys at 18, here's who I think they'll take ...
Special contributor Jonathan Bales answered questions in a chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.
eotuel ... Are the Cowboys considering drafting a QB in the later rounds? If so, who is perceived to be the best fit?
Jonathan Bales: They'll certainly entertain the idea if they see great value in the mid or late rounds, but there's not really too much of an incentive to bring in a rookie QB who they don't have rated really, really highly. With Romo's deal, you'd be drafting a guy who would be a backup, at best, throughout the life of his contract. It's more likely that you'll see the team wait a year or two.
AJ ... Say Warmack and Cooper are still on the board at 18, who do you take?
Jonathan Bales: I have Cooper rated just above Warmack, and I think that's who the Cowboys would take as well. I don't anticipate both players being available, but if so, Cooper is the better fit with the Cowboys since they're making a pretty obvious transition to more zone blocking concepts this year. Cooper is more athletic and can get into space a little bit easier than Warmack.
Alvin J. ... Its well documented that OL is the top area of need on this team BUT with the release of Sensabaugh - i feel that S has become just as important (especially w/ questions surrounding M Johnson & B Church)What round and which player can we expected to address this issue if lets say we use the 1st rd pick on a guy like Cooper or Warmack?
Jonathan Bales: I think the safety position is just below the interior line in terms of being a "need" right now, especially in the Cowboys' minds. They like Church and Johnson more than you think. There's also so much depth at the safety position this year. That's why it's really in the Cowboys' best interest to pass over Vaccaro if he's still available at No. 18; if you can get a player of comparable talent in the second or third round, why wouldn't you? There isn't that same depth on the line.

New Skylake MacBook Pros coming in the fourth quarter.
New Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Filings Appear on FCC Website
A new Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse have arrived at the FCC, and they've got new model numbers of A1314 and A1296 -- the current wireless keyboard is A1255 and the Mighty Mouse is A1197. That's pretty much all we know for now, but these keyboard dimensions are also smaller than the current model, which rules out a return of the numeric keypad -- sorry to dash your hopes, Excel jockeys.Several reports in recent days have suggested that a redesigned Apple mouse has been under development and may be released alongside new iMacs in the very near future.

Brazilian president first woman to open round of UN General Assembly speeches
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff will become on Wednesday the first woman ever to open the round of speeches marking the beginning of the United Nations General Assembly, according to Brazilian sources.
"On the 21st, the President becomes the first woman since the foundation of the United Nations to address, with her speech, the opening of the General Assembly", pointed out the Brazilian Foreign Affairs ministry.
President Rousseff's activities in New York begin Monday at a special meeting on chronic diseases chaired by the former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet who is currently head of the Woman Office in the UN.
On Tuesday Ms Rousseff is scheduled to meet with US president Barack Obama with both leaders making the official presentation of the Open Government Society, a UN promoted initiative, which this year is jointly chaired by the US and Brazil, said Rodrigo Baena, spokes person for the Brazilian presidency.
Later in the day the Brazilian president will be meeting her Mexican peer, Felipe Calderón and at night will be awarded a prize for her dedication as public servant, from the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars.
On Wednesday before opening the round of speeches of the 66th General Assembly, President Rousseff will have a private meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
"The president is drafting a wide ranging and incisive speech in which she will defend social inclusion and human rights guarantees", said the official news agency Brazil.
Likewise the Brazilian leader will address the effects of the global crisis, the need to reform the UN Security Council, supporting sustainable development and recalling that next June 2012 Rio do Janeiro will be hosting the world conference on climate change, Rio+20.
Following her speech the Brazilian president is scheduled to hold private meetings with UK Prime Minister David Cameron and later French president Nicholas Sarkozy with whom she will address the world crisis among other issues.
On Thursday the agenda in New York is over but previously Ms Rousseff will be participating in a UN nuclear security meeting and of a Security Council session on preventive diplomacy.
Over 120 world leaders are expected in New York for the UN General Assembly where Palestine's bid for UN membership is likely to be the highlight. A lot of attention is also expected around the 'Arab Spring' and general unrest in that region.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- A case involving a Texas man reported to have been caught with more than 100 pounds of marijuana was forwarded for a grand jury to review.
Presiding District Judge Jody Bishop at a preliminary hearing Oct. 6 found sufficient evidence for the case against Daniel Luis Casas to move forward.
Casas, 43, of McAllen, Texas, faces a marijuana trafficking charge. According to a report by the Alabama State Troopers, Casas was stopped on northbound Interstate 65 near the 35-mile-marker near Bay Minette on Aug. 26 and found to be in possession of more than 100 pounds but less than 500 pounds of pot.
Casas remained in the Baldwin County Corrections Center on Friday with his bail set at $1 million, according to jail records.

Not that long ago, the Nets were a .500 team, one that occupied the eighth and final playoff position in the Eastern Conference.
And then, on Jan. 14, they were blown out by the Celtics in Boston.
Things haven't been the same since.
The Nets returned home Wednesday night after a crushing loss Monday in Oklahoma City and a disappointing road trip, only to go down to an even more disheartening loss, 107-106, to the Toronto Raptors at Izod Center.
Down by 12 points in the fourth quarter, the Nets rallied back hard, and had a chance to win when Devin Harris got separation from his defender, Joey Graham, with a quick burst and pulled up for a wide-open 16-foot jumper with the clock winding down.
But the shot bounced off the rim at the buzzer to send the Nets to their seventh loss in eight games, beginning with that setback against the world champs.
"That's my go-to move," Harris said. "I couldn't ask for anything (more). I just missed it. I'm upset with myself, because we deserved to win. We fought back hard in that fourth quarter. I wish I could have hit it for 'em. I don't know if I'll have better looks than that. ... It's one of those things. It didn't go in for us."
Vince Carter led the Nets with 27 points, but 20 of those came in the first half -- 16 in the first quarter -- when the Nets were threatening to dominate his old team. When the Raptors were wresting control of the game in the second half, Carter turned rebounder (he had 10 for the game) and ball distributor (five assists), rather than scorer.
The Nets led, 54-50, at halftime, but Toronto opened the second half with an 8-0 run, to take a 58-54 lead. The Raptors would outscore the Nets 34-23 in the third quarter, taking an 84-77 lead into the fourth.
"What really did us in was that third quarter, the end of that third quarter, when you look at it," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "Between the one-shot fouls and the loose-ball rebound, (Jason) Kapono's 3 -- that kind of run, that gave them separation."
The Kapono 3-pointer was a killer.
The Nets trailed, 78-74, after Kapono hit two foul shots with 1:38 left in the third. On the Nets' next trip up the floor, they found themselves inbounding the ball from the side with 1:16 left in the period and eight seconds on the shot clock. Harris -- who had 25 points and 10 assists -- made a curious play when he took the inbounds pass, dribbled to a spot behind the top of the circle, and fired up a falling away, 26-foot shot with the 6-10 Chris Bosh charging at him, his hand in Harris' face.
The shot missed and, at the other end, Anthony Parker made his first foul shot but missed the second. Jake Voskuhl -- who played just 41 seconds in the game -- grabbed the rebound and fed the ball to Kapono for a 3-pointer that put the Raptors up, 82-74.
The Raptors would eventually lead, 102-90, with 4:47 to play, after Graham converted an old-fashioned three-point play. But the Nets immediately ran off eight straight points -- Bobby Simmons (16 points) had a 3-pointer; Harris a pair of free throws and Keyon Dooling (17, off the bench) another 3-pointer -- to get back in the game.
"We fought back and we gave ourselves a great opportunity, a guy who had a great game going getting a wide-open elbow shot for the win," Frank said. "But it's unfortunate, that third quarter has been our Achilles' heel, giving them the easy baskets off the free-throw line with the touch fouls."
The Raptors were 18-of-24 from the foul line, 7-of-8 during the third quarter.
Parker led six Toronto players into double figures with 21 points. Point guard Jose Calderon had 17, plus 11 assists, while Bosh had 18 points and six rebounds.
The Raptors won their third straight game, to improve to 19-28, while the Nets fell to 20-26 and -- with the Knicks beating Atlanta -- dropped into 10th place in the Eastern Conference, a half-game behind the 20-25 Knicks.

The Catholic Bishops have called on the Government to spell out the benefits to public health that its plans for health service reform are expected to deliver.
They have also highlighted industrial relations road-blocks to the "deinstitutionalisation" of services for people with disabilities.
The comments were made in the course of a wide-ranging assessment of the Programme for Government's plans for the health services.
"Caring for Health in Ireland" was written by the bishops' Council for Justice and Peace.
It welcomed proposals to reform the two-tier system of healthcare through the introduction of a Universal Health Insurance scheme.
It said the many Catholic service providers also welcome the proposal along with the Government's pledge to reduce the excessive use of hospitals by developing stronger primary care and post-hospital services.
But it also highlighted what it called the Government's lack of focus on clearly defined public health outcomes.
It said the programme says little about tackling the social factors that cause the less well-off to be more likely to experience ill health and die younger than those with higher incomes.
The bishops' council said services are not "deinstitutionalising" people with disabilities quickly enough and it blamed national labour legislation and industrial relations practices for impeding change.
It said this often leads to lower-skill functions being carried out by more costly higher-skilled staff.

Afghans Jail U.S. Man in Business Dispute
KABUL—After a plea from U.S. lawmakers, an American mechanic was freed Friday from a Kabul jail, offering a glimpse of a growing Afghan practice of arresting foreigners connected to commercial disputes.
David Gordon, an employee of Virginia-based logistics firm Tamerlane Global Services, Inc., was detained on Wednesday by the Afghan Attorney General's Office because of a disagreement between Tamerlane and an Afghan company, Afghan and company officials said.
Afghan companies have begun turning to the Attorney General's Office to resolve business quarrels through criminal investigations and arrests, rather than going to arbitration, mediation or commercial courts, attorneys here said.
On Mr. Gordon's first night in jail, in a crowded cell with 22 other inmates, he was attacked by another inmate, he said, apparently with a drinking glass or bottle. "Someone, just out of the blue, smashed me right across the face," he said.
Mr. Gordon appeared shaken as Afghan officials handed him over to the U.S. military on Friday afternoon at a crowded traffic roundabout in central Kabul. His right arm was bandaged—he had tried to shield himself from attack, he said—and he had received stitches in his leg on Thursday. "The doctor in the jail, he patched me up—thank God he did," he said.
At the handover, a U.S. military representative signed paperwork for the transfer of custody that was presented by an official from the Afghan Attorney General's Office. Mr. Gordon wasn't charged with any crime, said both his employer and his attorney, Kimberley Motley.
"There's no legal basis for this at all," Ms. Motley said hours before Mr. Gordon's release.
The U.S. said in January that it was employing 110,404 contract workers in Afghanistan, over 33,000 of them U.S. citizens, while around 66,000 U.S. troops now serve here. Contractors work for companies on jobs from cleaning latrines and serving meals to pulling guard duty around coalition bases.
The Attorney General's Office has become increasingly involved in commercial disputes as the U.S. military winds down and the cash-strapped Afghan government looks to shore up its revenues, Western contractors and lawyers here said.
Top Afghan officials have said Western firms routinely try to evade Afghan taxes and customs fees, and abuse their status as contractors to engage in commercial activities.
"Our firm is increasingly getting calls from Western executives fearing, with good cause, the imminent arrest of their managers in Afghanistan over commercial disputes," said Ward Scott, a U.S. commercial lawyer based in Kabul. "Anecdotally, there has been a definite uptick in such cases, including those of U.S. government contractors, who are largely left to their own devices in contending with this trend."
In January, officials from the Attorney General's Office arrested several Western employees of a supplier to the U.S. military in connection with an unpaid tax bill, following a routine meeting at the Afghan Revenue Department.
Tamerlane, Mr. Gordon's employer, is engaged in litigation with Global Hub Logistics, an Afghanistan-based firm, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia over mutual allegations of breach of contract. Mr. Gordon said he recognized an employee of Global Hub Logistics in the vehicle with Afghan law enforcement officers when he was detained.
The management of Global Hub Logistics couldn't be reached for comment.
An official at the Attorney General's Office said Tamerlane Global Services also had an unresolved tax issue with the Afghan government. Tamerlane, a logistics and project management company, said it primarily performs U.S. government contracting work that is exempt from Afghan taxation under a bilateral agreement.
The official blamed the assault on Mr. Gordon on overcrowding in Afghanistan's poorly financed jails, saying the attacker had been arrested for drunkenness. "If we could have extra space to put each detainee separately, that would not have happened," the official said.
On Friday, Republican congressmen Scott Rigell and Frank Wolf of Virginia and Duncan Hunter of California wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry urging the American Embassy in Kabul to intervene in the case.
"The threats that he is receiving and the demonstrated lack of protection during his confinement give us serious concern about his welfare," the letter said.
Jim O'Brien, the president and chief executive of Tamerlane Global Services, said the involvement of American lawmakers, after Mr. Gordon was taken into custody on the road to a fortified compound in Kabul that houses many military contractors, helped spur the embassy into action.
"Being grabbed off the street…because of a contracts dispute, and the embassy not getting involved, is a terrible, terrible precedent," he said.
Mr. O'Brien said the company had performed a small amount of commercial work, and was voluntarily working with the Afghan government to resolve any related taxation issues.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said diplomatic officials "provided all appropriate consular assistance and immediately engaged with the Afghan government" to secure Mr. Gordon's release as soon as they were aware of the case.
Mr. Gordon said he was treated well during his detention by Afghan guards, who allowed him to bunk with them after he was assaulted on Wednesday. But he added that he was pressured by Afghan officials to sign documents while in custody.
"They kept on pushing me, you know, 'Answer this, sign this,' " he said. Puffing on a cigarette while waiting to be taken to a U.S. military base, where he would receive a medical checkup, he added: "I just want a safe haven."

Justin Bieber Gives a Six-Year-Old Girl the Best Valentine's Day Gift Ever
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest Justin Bieber fan in the world. In all honesty, I never really understood what all the hype was about, but his latest kind gesture has made me a Belieber. On Monday, the teen heartthrob gave a 6-year-old girl cancer patient the best Valentine's Day gift of her life: a day-long date with Bieber himself! This could not be more adorable, right?
The pop star learned about the little girl, Avalanna Routh (though she prefers to be called Mrs. Bieber), after he caught wind of her Facebook campaign to meet her idol on a WHDH Boston news report. In an act of kindness, Bieber retweeted the link to his millions of Twitter followers and invited Routh and her family to fly out and spend the day with him in Manhattan.
For their play-date, the two of them played board games, signed autographs for each other, and Routh was even able to style the famous Bieber hairdo. Afterward, the singer took to Twitter to express how much fun he had, writing, "That was one of the best things I have ever done. She was AWESOME. Feeling really inspired right now,'' later adding a photo of the two of them with the caption: "Best part of my day."
For almost her entire life, Routh has fought against a rare form of cancer known as ATRT that is diagnosed in less than 30 cases per year. So the fact that Bieber took time out of his schedule to make this little girl's dream come true really shows something about his character. Not all celebs would be willing to do that, especially someone as busy as he is. I think I'm starting to understand what this whole Bieber Fever thing is all about. But if you still have your doubts, just check out the clip below.

DETROIT -- Jim Schwartz faced some unexpected criticism from former player Lawrence Jackson this week, but the coach reminded reporters after the Detroit Lions' 40-10 victory that there are two sides to every story.
Jackson, via Twitter, validated comments made about Schwartz by Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Josh Sitton.
In a radio interview, Sitton called Schwartz a derogatory term loosely translates to jerk. On Twitter, Jackson said he didn't disagree with Sitton's assessment.
Jackson also tweeted that he doesn't have a lot of respect for Schwartz after the coach lied to his face.
On a podcast with local blogger Jeff Moss, Jackson expanded on his tweets.
The defensive lineman said while with the Lions, he took a proactive approach to keeping his body healthy by spending a lot of time in the training room. Assistant coaches told him because of this habit, Schwartz would call him soft behind closed doors.
When the player asked for his coach's opinion on the subject, Schwartz told Jackson he respected the way he took care of his body.
Schwartz said criticism comes with the job, but chose not to specifically address what Jackson's comments.
"It just goes in this business," Schwartz said. "I don't want to do anybody else's job, but there's two sides to every single story. You know? I would just leave it that way. I choose not to get involved in stuff like that."
Jackson played three seasons with the Lions after being acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010. He was offered a contract to stay in Detroit this offseason, but opted to sign a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
He was released by the Vikings during training camp.

If you have not yet adjusted your clocks to Daylight Savings Time, from being out partying, or just plain forgot: Greetings! We are from your future! We come in peace! And, may we say, how remarkably lifelike you look for this hour!
On the other hand, if you already have your clocks all synched up, you already know that no one here has jet cars as yet, no street-corner teleportation chambers to Mars Base 179, and no take-charge robo-maids whirring around chasing Elroys or Astros, no aprons trailing behind, no doilies askew atop metallic heads. Sorry, it's not that kind of future -- we'd need a longer head start than an hour for that. Still, there's no reason to feel counted out or killed by the clock -- although, we shouldn't expect much from Daylight Savings Time, as there are no places for saving up daylight in time vaults, no Sunshine Savings & Loans as yet.

Net's exex promise to maintain penchant for diversity
When the WB and UPN announced last month their plans to fold operations, African-American producers, helmers and scribes were just as surprised as the rest of the industry.
The departure of both netlets left several creatives scrambling to find out how committed the CW — the new network emerging from the ashes of the WB and UPN — would be to African-American and other minority talent.
"Obviously it's a situation we're watching closely," says Vic Bullock, executive director of the NAACP's Hollywood chapter. "It's one that has caused concern among people in our community, from showrunners to craft services."
It's too soon to tell how the change might impact the faces of primetime. But execs behind the CW have promised to maintain those weblets' penchant for diversity.
"In all discussions so far, we are hoping to keep (UPN's) Monday night lineup or something similar intact," CBS Paramount Network TV Entertainment Group prexy Nancy Tellem said soon after the CW announcement was made. "We're not only looking for younger demos, but also looking at the diversity of the slate."
The CW announcement temporarily put on ice next season's development at UPN and the WB, although one urban-skewing pilot — UPN's untitled "Girlfriends" spinoff — had already gotten a greenlight.
The pilot, which will air as an episode of "Girlfriends" this season, revolves around the significant others of professional athletes. Aldis Hodge, Coby Bell, Cynthia Addai Robinson, Hosea Chanchez and Wendy Raquel Robinson star.
NAACP officials — who closely monitor issues of diversity in primetime — take the "Girlfriends" spinoff as a good sign that the CW won't turn its back on minorities. The org is also in close contact with CW brass, who have alleviated some of the NAACP's concerns, Bullock says.
"We're in dialogue with CBS and UPN, and we're encouraged by (incoming CW entertainment prexy) Dawn Ostroff's track record," Bullock says. "If the CW were to develop more one-hours with African-American and minority leads, that would be exciting."
Ostroff herself points out that programming that appeals to black auds has been a major achievement at UPN, "and we intend to carry that over to the new network."
"In fact, executives involved with the CW clearly stated in the network's opening announcement that an ongoing commitment to serving a diverse audience is a priority," Ostroff says. "When the new CW schedule emerges this May, that commitment will be visible."
As the only broadcast web scheduling a block of African-American-themed programs, insiders say the CW should be able to tap into advertiser budgets reserved specifically for that aud.
Also, from a political standpoint, the CW parents CBS and Warner Bros. would catch heat if they dropped the shows — something they'd love to avoid, given the already complicated process of shutting down two networks.
As the major networks moved away from black-themed sitcoms in the late 1990s, both the WB and UPN picked up the slack.
The Frog went first, launching with sitcoms such as "The Wayans Bros.," "The Parent 'Hood" and "Sister Sister." "The Steve Harvey Show" and "The Jamie Foxx Show" soon followed.
UPN then joined the party, adding shows such as "Moesha" and "In the House."
Both webs were taking a page out of the Fox playbook: As an emerging network, one of the quickest ways to garner ratings is to target young viewers with urban-skewing comedies. (Fox did it with "In Living Color" and "Martin.")
But whereas UPN stuck with the strategy, the WB moved away from urban comedies once it got a few hit dramas on its hands. Tellingly, the WB never struck it big with laffers (save "Reba") again.
UPN sitcoms expected to make the cut in the new CW include critical darling "Everybody Hates Chris" as well as "Eve." Those on the bubble include "One on One," "Half & Half" and "Girlfriends."
"We do know if we uniformly lost all the minority programming on UPN, it would be a great loss," Bullock says. "But we're hopeful that the execs at the CW will make decisions that will be sensitive to that — and smart enough for the marketplace."
But while opportunities on sitcoms with predominantly African-American casts could very well shrink, the success of multiracial ensemble casts on hit hourlongs like "Desperate Housewives," "Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy" could be signaling the kind of true tube diversity the NAACP has been looking for all along.
Already, pilots like ABC's "Daybreak," which landed Taye Diggs, and CBS' "Edison," with John Leguizamo, have cast minorities in top roles.
"When you look at the TV landscape now, most of the diversity comes through ensemble casts," Bullock says.

When Kimberly Williams-Paisley's mother was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, a rare form of dementia, the Nashville actress struggled to cope.
"I've watched a passionately joyful woman, a devoted mother, an engaged listener and friend deteriorate and transform into someone almost unrecognizable," Williams-Paisley, wife of country superstar Brad Paisley, writes in a heartbreaking but powerful personal essay for Redbook. "It's been agonizing to slowly lose her."
Her mom, Linda Williams, became another person due to her disease, unable to write clearly, recall certain words or even pronounce the name of her grandson Jasper, now 4½.
Eventually, Williams became too erratic to live at home with her husband, so she was taken to a long-term care facility.
"The move was the hardest change my tight-knit family has ever had to endure," writes Williams-Paisley, 42. "Our visits were agonizing for me. I couldn't look at her without seeing a fading picture of who she used to be. I resented this mostly manic, dangerous, crazy woman who had taken over my mother's body."
But Williams-Paisley found solace after talking to friends with similar experiences: She realized she had to love her mother in a new, "innocent" way. She learned to communicate wordlessly and found peace in small gestures, like rubbing cream on her mother's dry hands. And now, she says, she can remember her mother as she used to be without succumbing to the pain of her loss.
"She is, in many ways, a 'new' mom. But now it's easier to welcome memories of her as she used to be," Williams-Paisley writes. "I remember her as I run, the way she always used to, into a cold ocean when no one else wants to. I'm sure I know how she felt as I listen to my own children with all my heart."

Israel Human Rights Groups Wage War Over Warfare
Sari Bashi, a prominent Israeli human rights lawyer, was on the phone last week with a Palestinian utility official in the Gaza Strip who had worked closely with Israelis for years and had just learned that his house in Gaza was no longer standing.
"He asked me, 'Why are they doing this? Israeli soldiers did not used to be like this. Red lines are being crossed,'" Bashi recounted.
Bashi's organization, Gisha, which works to protect the freedom of movement of Gaza Palestinians, is one of several major Israeli human rights organizations that banded together during Israel's military operation in Gaza to highlight the plight of Palestinian civilians caught in the fighting.
Careful to avoid taking political positions on the Israeli military operation itself, the organizations said that as Israeli groups they felt a special duty to point out the Jewish state's moral and legal obligations during the conflict — even if those observations would not be well received by an Israeli public overwhelmingly supportive of the war effort.
"Our credo is that there is the same international law that Israel and any other nation in world is bound to respect. We hold our own government accountable," Bashi said in an interview. "I would like to think that we make these demands of Israel from a place of empathy — empathy for the Palestinian civilians whose rights are being violated and empathy for the ordinary people in Israel who need to be reminded of their core values, especially human rights."
During the 22-day war, the organizations brought two cases to the Israeli Supreme Court dealing with issues of suspected violations of international humanitarian law. One demanded that the Israeli army stop attacking medical teams in Gaza and permit the wounded to be evacuated to hospitals. The second demanded that Israel's Defense Ministry supply fuel and electricity to run Gaza's hospitals and sewage and water systems, all of which were on the verge of collapse during the fighting.
During the war, Israelis largely dismissed protests of Israeli actions by international human rights organizations, the United Nations, the Red Cross and masses of demonstrators around the globe. In Israel, the protests were seen as evidence that the world does not understand Israel's security needs or the caution the Israel Defense Forces says it practices to limit civilian casualties in urban warfare.
It was precisely the claim of caution that Israeli human rights groups decided to challenge publicly.
"Civilians are not cannon fodder, neither in Gaza nor in Sderot" read an ad published on Israeli news Web sites by B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group.
Sarit Michaeli, a spokeswoman for B'Tselem, said the group's main message was for both sides to try to limit harm to civilians.
"The message was directed to both sides of the conflict, but as an Israeli organization, the impact on the Palestinian side is questionable, to say the least," Michaeli said. "We owe a moral responsibility to our own country to maintain standards even during times of great strife."
Responding to charges of callousness by the IDF, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Monday, "The Israeli Defense Forces, according to its principles, and justifiably so, tries to prevent harm to civilians."
She told Israel Radio, "Just as in all countries in the world there is a difference between murder and negligent death or an accident, this is the difference between the IDF and terrorism. The terrorists look for children in kindergartens and schools and for civilians. The IDF looks for terrorists, and it could be that sometimes in the war against terror civilians are harmed."
Once it became clear that the medical system in Gaza was overwhelmed, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel lobbied for casualties to be taken to hospitals outside Gaza.
Advocating for the needs of Gazans often feels like lonely work, Bentwich said.
"I think that overall, our voice was the voice of a small minority," he said. "Because of the overwhelming skewing of public opinion, there was a lack of concern about what was happening on the other side."
Israeli human rights groups have challenged Israel's official justification for the fighting as a purely defensive measure against Hamas for its rocket fire on southern Israel. They accused Israel of imposing a form of collective punishment on Gaza's population by imposing an embargo on Gaza for the last year and a half, since Hamas wrested control of the strip from the more moderate Palestinian Fatah faction in June 2007.
In an open letter sent amid the fighting last week to Israel's attorney general and top political and military leadership, the groups asked the authorities to take several steps to ease the plight of the civilians caught up in the warfare. Among other things, they asked that Israel open a route for civilians to escape the battle zone and help facilitate the immediate medical care of the injured.
While human rights groups were active on the legal and media front, peace groups staged candlelight vigils for those killed in Gaza and launched drives to collect emergency supplies for civilians, ranging from powdered milk to baby clothes and dry foods.
One organizer of a collection drive noted that contributors included mothers of soldiers fighting in Gaza.
"This is not about a political agenda," one mother said.
Meanwhile, Israelis generally were focused on the home front and the safety of the soldiers fighting in Gaza.
With Israel enforcing a ban on Israeli and foreign journalists from entering Gaza, the Israeli media offered relatively little coverage of Palestinian civilian casualties for most of the war.

iPad owners more likely to cut cable
Google TV is off to a rather inauspicious start, having been banned by all the major networks. Apple TV? That's still just a hobby. However, Apple's tablet is getting people to think about downgrading or cutting the cable, and disintermediation is (almost) always a good thing.
Quoting data from the Diffusion Group, FastCompany reports that one-third of iPad owners say they are likely to cancel their pay TV service in the next six months. A further 12.9 percent say they are highly likely to cut the cable.
This compares to just 9.6 percent of non-iPad broadband subscribers who say they intend on cutting the cable in the next six months.
It's also interesting to note that 35.5 percent of iPad owners want to downgrade their pay TV service compared to 20.7 percent of regular broadband users.
Yes, cable's already feeling the pinch with both Comcast and Time Warner saying they've lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers in recent quarters. However, they also say it's not people cutting the cable per se, but the bad economy in general that's behind the losses — we'll see about that.

• Hands on with Rush Time Machine for iPad
• Get in the game: App Store video showcase
• PBS for iPad: Stable, easy, really good content
• Hands on with Pulse News Reader for iPad
• LCARS Internet Media Reader: 'Why you bought an iPad'
That said, here's what TV looks like to me: PBS, TED, TVUPlayer, CineXPlayer, TWiT, TWC Max, Yahoo Entertainment, YouTube, ABC Player, Bloomberg, etc. and it's all iPad. Yes, we do have a TV and antenna — the picture's great, better HD than cable — in the living room, but I only go out there to watch the Steelers and/or clean, whichever comes first.
Yeah, it's a pretty fractured experience, but there's a ton of solid news, information and entertainment in that dog's breakfast o' apps. Most important, this works for me…
What's working for you?

Hi everyone ! I need some urgent help! I have had many problems with algebra lately. I mostly have difficulties with onine math notes of 10th class. I don't understand it at all, no matter how much I try. I would be very glad if someone would give me some advice on this issue.

With a bit more clear information about onine math notes of 10th class, I plausibly could help you if I knew a few more . If you don't want to hire a algebra tutor, who is very expensive you can try this program Algebrator which I come upon and guarantee to be the best available. This Algebrator is equipped to solve any algebra problem that you write down and it also explains every step of the solution. You only have to represent as your homework. However, it is better to take the help of the Algebrator to learn math rather than use it to copy answers.

I fully agree with that. It truly is a great program. Algebrator helped me and my classmates a lot during our exam time. We went on to score more than we could ever have thought of. It explains things in a lot more detailed manner, than a instructor ever could, in a class. Moreover, you can read one solution over and over again till you actually understand it, unlike in the school where the teacher has to move on due to time constraints. Go ahead and try it.

function domain, radical inequalities and fractional exponents were a nightmare for me until I found Algebrator, which is really the best math program that I have come across. I have used it through many algebra classes – Algebra 1, College Algebra and Algebra 1. Just typing in the math problem and clicking on Solve, Algebrator generates step-by-step solution to the problem, and my algebra homework would be ready. I highly recommend the program.

A South Williamsport man has been jailed after he called his ex-girlfriend and allegedly "threatened to put a bullet in her head," according to city police.
Joseph Francis Hazen III, 19, of 924 W. Southern Ave., has been charged with terroristic threats after making the alleged threat while on the telephone with Samantha Reed on Monday afternoon, police said.
Hazen then went to Reed's home at 97 Parkwood St. and began pounding on her front door, police said. He fled after Reed told him she was calling police.
An affidavit said Reed was "extremely terrified" by the ordeal. The woman told police Hazen allegedly threatened to kill her and six of her friends three weeks ago.
A friend of Hazen's, Michael Thomas Rook, 18, of 508 E. Central Ave., South Williamsport, also is in trouble with the law after he allegedly lied about not knowing Hazen's whereabouts when officers came to his home about 5 p.m. Monday, looking for the man.
"He was here about an hour ago, but he is no longer here," Rook told police.
However, while officers were still at the house, Rook's mother found Hazen hiding behind her son's bedroom door, according to an affidavit. Rook has been charged with hindering apprehension and prosecution.
Both men were taken before District Judge Allen P. Page III. Hazen was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $15,000 bail while Rook was initially jailed in lieu of $2,500 bail, but has since been release.

Our family feels blessed that our daughter will pursue her education to secure the status of credentialed teacher at California State University-Channel Islands for three reasons.
First, the Cal State system provides an extremely affordable education when measured against the value of a bachelor's degree.
Second, CSUCI possesses a large amount of student housing relative to its student body, so she can enjoy the important growth and maturation experience of a residential university education.
Third, and this is a dad thing, Channel Islands perches above the strawberry fields of Ventura County near the suburban community of Camarillo. (Sorry, but dads worry about their daughters' personal safety more than their sons'.)
With our daughter entering college, just like when our son entered the University of California San Diego in the fall of 2007, I think back about how Americans in general and Californians specifically love to complain about our public education system.
Just open the pages of any publication to hear politicians of all stripes, read the editorial page and letters to the editor and one can clearly see the truth.
The public grade schools suck, the public middle schools suck and especially the public high schools ooze suck from every brick, putting education behind the necessity of passing out condoms and teaching atheism.
Wouldn't, then, all our American universities — and particularly our public universities — absolutely suck when primarily fed from this sewer of suckitude?
And wouldn't the California public universities lead the charge, since they primarily receive feeder stock from the absolutely most dysfunctional public primary and secondary educational system in the world? (... at least according to some columnists and letter writers published in The Signal.)
The United States currently possesses some 5,700-plus institutions of higher learning, including public and private universities, colleges and community colleges.
Some factoids from the most current U.S. News and World Report ranking of colleges and universities: The University of California system, built by the senior Gov. Brown in the 1960s and continuing, boasts six of the top 50 universities (in other words, the top 1 percent of all institutions of higher learning) in the nation (Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, Davis, Santa Barbara and Irvine).
For public universities, Berkeley, Los Angeles and San Diego perch in the top 10 in the nation.
But surely this does not count. This ranking just includes U.S. colleges and universities, with their primary students feeding from the absolute lamest, most crippled, corrupt and ruined-by-the-teachers'-unions public education institutions, so they must pale against the systems of higher education in other countries, right?
Webometrics ranks universities worldwide, and somehow 43 of the top 50 universities in the world call the United States home. Even more inexplicably, institutions in the University of California system, relying most heavily on students from a public school system that some deride as absolutely "dead in a ditch," hold five of the top 50 spots (Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, Davis, Santa Barbara)
Several things come to mind after studying these facts.
First, I don't ever complain about the tax structure in California, since a family member benefits directly from the university system.
Second, even those without family members directly benefiting should rejoice because these top universities will turn out top graduates more likely to remain in the Golden State to drive the economy and society forward, particularly after spending time in La Jolla and Santa Barbara.
But perhaps we need to examine other issues. Maybe the sloganeering cries claiming a dysfunctional public education system overstate the case when related to the United States in general, and California in particular.
Maybe (gasp!) the public schools staffed by the wicked and corrupt members of the teachers union and the evil self-serving administrators do actually teach some students to excel and drive forward the world-class statistics of these public universities.
Another factoid for those who do not believe the womens' movement accomplished anything of substance in the last several decades:
Look at the entering class of nearly any college or university in the United States, and you will see approximately 60 percent females.
The meaning? In the near term females will constitute a supermajority of college graduates and, by default, the professional workforce. But that will be the subject of another column.

FAMILY ATTACKER COMPETENT: A judge has ruled that 25-year-old man who kicked his pregnant fiancee in the abdomen and repeatedly punched his parents in their 70s is competent to stand trial.
Bay County District Judge Timothy J. Kelly reviewed psychological reports on Andrew B. Thompson, of 1272 W. Hampton Road, who had been referred for psychiatric treatment after the assault on June 15, and concurred with the findings that Thompson can understand the charges against him and assist in his own defense.
Thompson will undergo an evidence hearing at 9 a.m. Sept. 23 on two counts of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm less than murder, aggravated domestic violence, domestic violence, resisting police and preventing someone from calling 911. The most serious charges are felonies punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Thompson's 23-year-old fiancee told Hampton Township police that they had been arguing about money when he suddenly turned violent, kicking her and then attacking his parents when they came to her defense.

Nobody was hurt when a van hit several cars and a building behind an elementary school on the south side of Oklahoma City on Friday.
The incident happened at Red Oak Elementary School at 11224 S. Penn Ave.
An officer at the scene told KOCO that it appears the man driving the van had some kind of medical episode and lost control of the vehicle.
The school was about to dismiss for the day, but students exited at the front of the building, away from the accident.

New volume on socialist migrations: call for contributions
Publication Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
We are soliciting contributions for an interdisciplinary volume on the subject of socialist migrations during the Cold War period. In the past decades it has become customary among scholars in both the social sciences and humanities to associate the rise of global interconnectedness specifically with the history of Western capitalist expansion. From the establishment of the Atlantic system of exchange in the 15th-16th century to the European scramble for Africa to the post-colonial modernizing agency of the 'Black Atlantic', scholars have focused overwhelmingly on the movement of people, goods, and ideas along North-South and East-West axes. However, the history of globalization in the 20th century is incomplete without the story of another type of massive migratory movements and long-distance exchanges, namely, those within the so-called 'socialist camp'. Prior to the communist collapse in 1989-1991, hundreds of thousands of socialist subjects journeyed to distant corners of the socialist community of nations in fulfillment of their internationalist duty, in search of education, or within the framework of mutual economic assistance. As a result Cuban soldiers and military experts crossed the Atlantic to fight in Angola and other African locations, Vietnamese laborers traveled to East Germany, Soviet technocrats arrived en masse in Communist China after 1949, and thousands of African students took advantage of generous educational scholarships to study in the USSR or one of its satellites. These socialist migrations were far less spontaneous than postcolonial migrations to and from the West and usually subject to strict administrative controls. They, nevertheless, involved a significant number of people, sharing little in common besides the ideological affiliation of their respective nation-states or sponsoring organizations, moving to unfamiliar geographical and cultural settings. The projected volume will attempt to chart out the topography and typology of these migrations and relocations as well as examine the content of such exchanges and encounters between the hosts and the migrants within the socialist universe. Moreover, it will give voice to the sojourners themselves whose unique migrant experiences during the age of "mature socialism" continue to have profound and often unanticipated ramifications for their personal lives but also for the political and economic fortunes of their own societies as well as those of their former hosts.
We envision a volume of 9 to 10 chapters, 20-25 pages each. Strong preference for original scholarship. Kindly send a short one-page chapter proposal and a brief bio to one of the editors: Professor Katrin Hansing (Baruch College, City University New York) email@example.com Professor Maxim Matusevich (Seton Hall University) email@example.com

According to a recent survey of U.S. media conducted in conjunction with George Washington University and Cision, PR executives are valuable to media, but they have a lot to learn when it comes to writing for them. As noted in the 33-page report, 94% of journalists use submissions from PR professionals and large majorities also depend on other PR tools such as press kits and special events. In other words, editors and reporters need what PR practitioners provide.
But the survey had less positive things to say about how PR people write. Put bluntly, editors and reporters may love practitioners as helpmates, but they generally hate what they do with words. For example, those surveyed said e-mail pitches and news releases should have better quotes, less boilerplate and stronger story ideas. Being less promotional and more relevant to their editorial interests struck the strongest chords.
So, how does one write in the way journalists prefer?
First and foremost, think strategically. Ask a lot of questions before you write; the answers help to frame your content. Here are some of the most obvious:
• Why am I writing, what is my goal?
• Who am I writing to, who am I trying to influence?
• What form should I use, what length, what style?
• What facts should I include, what arguments should I make?
• Whom should I quote, what should he or she say?
• What do recipients need to know, what do I want them to know?
• What do I want to happen, when?
Make questions like these a part of your writing muscle memory. And when you actually write, make sure your words and arguments reflect conventional standards of PR writing success, including:
• Simple and direct;
• Credible, factual, accurate;
• Measured in tone;
• Persuasively articulated;
• Benefits-driven;
• Positively stated;
• Properly attributed; and,
• Action-oriented.
In the end, PR writing is more about word-working (using words to make things happen) than wordsmithing (using words largely for show). And word-working isn't easy.
Malcolm Gladwell's new book, Outliers, makes the point more acutely. His research concludes that the very best athletes spend the most time practicing and playing from an early age; they play up to 4,000 more hours than their average or mediocre counterparts despite any innate talent they might possess.
Since writing can easily be viewed as a sport in which you're playing with words to win, why should you be exempt from the same regimen and its implications? At the very least, you should train to become the best "pitcher" in your league. PRN

Best Linux email client: 5 reviewed and rated
The email client, along with the word processor, is probably one of the most recognisable pieces of software on the desktop. They come in all shapes and sizes, from standalone lightweight command-line clients, to massive personal information managers (PIMs), that do a lot more than just check email.
Email clients are especially important for the business user but are useful even for those not dependant on a corporate email server. Virtually all email clients can now hook up with online webmail services such as Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Even if you don't use them to check your email on a daily basis, they're handy to keep an offline backup of all your email in case of problems with the service.
There are various factors you need to consider when selecting a client. What type of user you are and how you want to use it are the most critical. If you're an enterprise user fetching email from the corporate email server, you'll probably have the client running all the time, so it needs to be well-integrated into the desktop.

Shockheaded Peter was created in 1998 by a theatre company called Cultural Industry and directed by Julian Crouch and Phelim McDermott. It was first staged at the Lyric Hammersmith before its rave reviews secured a transfer to the West End.
The show was inspired by 'Struwwelpeter', a German book of gruesome children's stories by Heinrich Hoffmann published in 1844. In his moral tales, children receive the most horrible punishments for minor transgressions. The boy who sucks his thumbs has them chopped off, and the girl who plays with matches is burnt to death. (Hoffmann himself described the collection as 'pretty stories and funny pictures!')

Martin Jarvis directs Ian McKellen, Charles Dance, Tim Pigott-Smith and an impressive cast in Bernard Shaw's first play - the latest drama in Radio 3's 'Money Talks' series which brings together 150 years of dramatists tackling the question of money.
Listen at the following link (or paste into your browser)http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0128md3/Drama_on_3_Widowers_Houses/
What happens if an Englishman, decent enough in private, shuts his eyes and conscience to the monstrous abuses of the poor by slum landlords, especially if the remedy might affect his own financial security? The theme has resonated down the years.
Written Widowers' Houses 1892 it became an immediate success and remains astonishingly relevant in the present property investment world. Funny, observant, incisive in examining moral dilemmas and business ethics.
Slum-landlords - a comedy? Shaw was already turning the tradition of Victorian drama on its head, understanding that social and political points are best made via human comedy

Letter #83 The Pioneering Pat Nixon
A letter to Washington Post editors points to First Lady's achievements.
Rennie Silva, Presidential Management Fellow at the U.S. Department of State, argues that First Lady Pat Nixon was overlooked in a Washington Post story about the wives of presidential contenders.
Tomi Obaro's timely and well-written Sept. 4 Style article "The humanizers" overlooked one piece of history worth mentioning: the pioneering role of first lady Pat Nixon, whose speech at the 1972 GOP convention was the first by the spouse of a Republican candidate for president.
More so than any other first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt, Nixon helped pave the way for the practice of candidates' spouses of both political parties speaking at national conventions. Her appearance went beyond simply humanizing her husband to showcasing what she called "personal diplomacy" around the world, one of the hallmarks of her public life. Nixon's appearance drew attention to her official visits to earthquake-devastated Peru as well as to Liberia, Ghana, Ivory Coast and South Vietnam, as she had become the first first lady to set foot in Africa and to travel to a war zone.
Her speech and the groundbreaking accomplishments it highlighted earn her a place in the pantheon of first ladies who defied convention and helped shape political history. They deserve to be recognized.
First Lady Pat Nixon was honored at the 1972 Republican National Convention with a tribute video narrated by legendary actor Jimmy Stewart.

A school is supposed to be a haven where children can learn and grow safely. But for more than 220,000 U.S. children subjected to corporal punishment at school annually, including thousands in Louisiana, the classroom is often where the nightmare begins.
That's particularly true for children with disabilities, according to a report by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union. The report offers harrowing evidence in favor of banning corporal punishment in Louisiana and the other 19 states that still allow it.
Using federal data from 2006-07, the report found that students with disabilities made up 19 percent of those subjected to corporal punishment nationwide, but only 14 percent of all students. In Louisiana, 11,080 Louisiana children received corporal punishment, and 2,463 of them had disabilities.
To read the report is to be appalled by the abuse being dispensed in the name of discipline.
A Texas middle schooler with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was left with "deep bruises . . . three inches by four inches" after a paddling. The bruises and swelling on the arm of a 5-year-old Georgia girl with autism were so severe that an emergency room doctor compared them to those from a beating with a baseball bat or a motorcycle accident.
Many students with disabilities are being beaten precisely because of behaviors that are a result of their disabilities. That's just plain cruel.
Other studies have shown that beatings damage the trust between educator and student, leaving students unable to learn effectively and more likely to drop out of school.
That's why most states have banned corporal punishment. Louisiana law allows individual districts to set corporal punishment policies, but only 14 districts statewide prohibit it. A statewide ban proposed by state Rep. Barbara Norton, of Shreveport, died in committee in the recent session.
But state officials should opt for more effective and less traumatic ways to discipline children. Banning corporal punishment statewide is a good place to start.
