We Are Living Hope - Charity Holdman
Diagnosed: Age 36
Now: Age 38
In May 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36.
The previous February, I noticed that an area on my right breast just did not feel right. It was very tender to the touch. When I told my husband, he asked me to get it checked out.
So what did I do? I turned to the Internet! After a lot of "research", I decided that it was probably a cyst, so I eliminated caffeine and waited. In April, that same spot was still bothering me! I remember rolling over in bed one night and it felt like someone poked me in that spot, which caused pain. And that's what caused me to call my doctor.
Tests, tests and more tests
I called the next day, and I saw Cindy Besson, MD, on Monday morning. She examined me, and scheduled me for a mammogram and a sonogram. The results prompted Dr. Besson to refer me to a surgeon.
I chose Frank Chase, MD, who had performed my gall bladder surgery the previous year. At this point, I still did not know for a fact that I had cancer, but I was beginning to think that the chances were pretty good. They wouldn't send me to a surgeon for nothing!
Dr. Chase examined me and sent me over to the hospital for another sonogram. The technician was incredibly thorough, and what I thought was going to be a 15 minute visit turned into two hours! She began to take more and more pictures, and then called in a radiologist. He showed me the area of concern, which was the exact area that had been bothering me! He said that I should have it biopsied and would let Dr. Chase know.
That next week, I saw Dr. Chase. Not only did he concur that I needed a biopsy, he wanted to do it that day! He first did the Fine Needle Aspiration and then several punches for a Core Needle biopsy. I was told to go home, relax, and come back in a week.
Getting the news
I returned for my appointment, and I could see Dr. Chase pacing in the hall outside. It was very tense for myself and my husband as we waited for the results. Dr. Chase came in with a fax page and sat down beside me. I looked over at the page he placed on the desk, scanning for any word that would confirm one way or another, as I could not wait for him to say it.
Then I saw it — invasive ductal carcinoma. I screamed inside! I just sat, listened, and held my husband's hand as Dr. Chase explained everything to me. Tears came briefly, and then a flood of questions. Do I need a lumpectomy? Mastectomy? Double mastectomy? Reconstruction? Chemotherapy? Radiation? What about my kids? How would they react? My mind was going a mile a minute trying to take everything in.
I chose to have a lumpectomy, which is where only the tumor is removed, along with an area surrounding the tumor, called margins. I knew that this meant I would have radiation, but probably not chemo.
Carolyn Cook: The "angel' that kept me going
June 18 was the date set for the lumpectomy. There were several procedures that needed to take place before surgery, and several of those procedures were very uncomfortable. I would not have made it through that if it weren't for Carolyn Cook, the Breast Health Nurse Navigator. She was my angel that held my hand and stayed with me the whole time.
During my surgery, Dr. Chase saw that there was more cancer than we all thought, so he ended the procedure. He asked us to return in a week, after a new pathology report came in. Some good news did come out of this, though! During the surgery, Dr. Chase performed a lymph node biopsy, which came back negative. Thank you, God — it was not in my lymph nodes!
The next week I returned to find out the results of my new path report. It showed that not only did I have IDC, which is invasive, but I had DCIS and LCIS, which are two types of in situ (not yet invasive) cancers. Based on this, I was told it was not a matter of "if", but "when" it would recur. I chose to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction.
A successful surgery, a wonderful staff
On July 10, 2012, I had the surgery. Dr. Chase and Dean Page, MD, were awesome, as well as the wonderful nurses that cared for me during my time at Aiken Regional! Once I recovered, I saw Sitki Ergul, MD, at the Cancer Care Institute. He recommended four treatments of chemotherapy to be given three weeks apart. Chemo is never easy, but Dr. Ergul and his nurses and staff were incredible and made sure I had everything I needed to make it through. I had my first treatment on August 8 and my last on October 11. The last treatment was the most difficult, but it was the LAST!
I am now on daily medication and see Dr. Ergul every three months, but I am ALIVE! I could not have done it without some awesome family and friends that helped with my kids, supported my husband, provided food, visits, notes of encouragement, and most importantly, PRAYED for my family during this journey.
My advice to new patients
My advice to ALL women (and men) is to know your body! Pay attention to things that are different, and, even if you think you are too young for something to happen to you, get it checked out! Statistics say that only 5% of all breast cancer cases are in women under the age of 40. It should not have happened to me, but it did. Surround yourself with positive people and an awesome medical team. If you know your body, hopefully anything wrong can be caught early and taken care of.

Kansas community benefits by turning trouble into treasure
Successful stormwater solutions abound in Lenexa
Donald W. Baker, P.E., Water Resources Project Manager, Black & Veatch Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri
Michael T. Beezhold, Watershed Manager, City of Lenexa, Kansas
Les Lampe, Ph.D., P.E., Director of Water Resources, Black & Veatch Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri
Historic wisdom helped shape future planning in Lenexa, Kansas, where city and public works leaders have put the words of Albert Einstein into practice by developing innovative stormwater management solutions that will effectively address both quantity and quality issues for years to come.
"The many people who have participated in the development and implementation of Lenexa's watershed and stormwater management programs and plans share Einstein's philosophy," says City of Lenexa Director of Public Works Ronald C. Norris. "We've collectively demonstrated that 'We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.'"
Whereas stormwater runoff has historically been perceived as a problem to be rapidly swept away, the previously widespread practices of channeling and concrete lining of natural streams and clearing of riparian corridors have recently given way to more environmentally friendly approaches. As communities across the United States begin to view stormwater as a water resource asset instead of a liability, the Coon Creek Watershed study, design, and soon-to-be-completed construction exemplify Lenexa's forward thinking.
Rainy-day dilemma
Lenexa is a suburban community of nearly 50,000 residents in Johnson County, Kansas, in the southwestern part of the metropolitan Kansas City area. Approximately a third of the city's 32 square miles has been developed to date, with development picking up pace within the past decade due to the city's growing reputation as a desirable place to live and work.
In 1996, city leaders initiated a community vision process to provide direction and focus both for changes in the maturing areas of the city and for future development. The resulting long-range plan, Vision 2020, detailed the types and nature of desired development, infrastructure, quality of life, and goals. With Vision 2020, the city established the intent to "maintain a balance between Lenexa's natural resources and man-made environments while preserving key natural features and promoting quality growth and development." The document also led to the eventual creation of a stormwater utility.
Although Lenexa has not generally been plagued by flooding, the metropolitan area was hard hit by a 100-year storm event just as Vision 2020 began to generate serious discussion about area stormwater management. The local storm of the century was witnessed by football fans across the country as the Kansas City Chiefs played the Seattle Seahawks on national television in October 1998. Major flooding ravaged the area that day, with loss of life in Lenexa and other cities.
As development of previously untouched areas accelerated, staff and policy makers began to scrutinize past practices so as to optimize future development. As the city, which had traditionally perceived stormwater as an excess to be eliminated, experienced localized flooding and erosion as a result of existing practices, public works leaders sought a new approach to flood control. At about the same time, it became evident that Lenexa, along with hundreds of other cities, would also need to address the water quality issues related to stormwater management under new requirements imposed by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II of the Clean Water Act.
"Like many other communities, we were collecting and expediting the departure of stormwater, with a nodding attempt at retention of the 100-year storm," says Norris. "Redefining stormwater as an asset on which to capitalize rather than a problem to be solved, adopting a greener approach, and shifting our focus from reaction to prevention has not only increased public and developer support of stormwater infrastructure projects but also saved money."
Converting stormwater into a community asset
Lenexa has developed a proactive, integrated, watershed-based approach to stormwater management intended to reduce flooding, protect water quality and wildlife habitat, and provide recreational opportunities. The city's Rain to Recreation Program, emulated in other Heartland cities, encompasses construction of new lakes, streamside parks, and trails for recreational enjoyment and property-value enhancement; provision of technical assistance to developers and builders; and implementation of broad-based educational programs to build community awareness, support, and pride. Capital improvements include the design and construction of five lakes and associated water quality features such as wetlands, bioretention cells, and porous asphalt parking lots.
New ordinances prepared and adopted by Lenexa established stream setback requirements for developing areas of the city (pictured here) and also addressed sedimentation and erosion control. (Credit: Patti Banks Associates)
New city ordinances simultaneously address sedimentation and erosion control, stream setback requirements, and related issues. Efforts by Lenexa and Black & Veatch contributed to the development of more environmentally sensitive site design and construction standards and practices that incorporate bioretention and other low-impact solutions for stormwater storage and conveyance. The new development standards were prepared for and adopted by the Kansas City Metro Chapter of APWA in November 2003 (www.kcapwa.net/specifications.asp). In April 2004, Lenexa set the pace for the Kansas City Metropolitan Area by becoming the first municipality in the region to adopt these standards. The city council simultaneously adopted application of a capital recovery fee of nearly $61 million to support the aggressive capital improvement activities of the Rain to Recreation Program—approving the notion that growth should pay for growth.
The most prominent component of the city's stormwater management program and watershed master plan is scheduled for completion this summer (2006). The Coon Creek Watershed study and plan, together with the design of Lake Lenexa and related improvements, exemplify today's stormwater solutions—solutions that not only prevent flooding and enhance water and environmental quality but also create desirable public amenities.
The multifaceted watershed management plan developed for Coon Creek focuses on flood management, recreation opportunities, public involvement, and water quality protection. Although flood-prone land such as that found along Coon Creek typically has a lower commercial value than upland areas, flood-prone valleys provide excellent opportunities for parks and other recreational facilities. An effective public involvement program gave residents a chance to provide input about preferred recreational facilities as well as feedback on design concepts. The water quality element of the Coon Creek plan addresses water quality modeling and monitoring, stream protection and restoration, and wetland systems.
Stormwater wetlands are shallow ponds, depressions, or channels that are vegetated with aquatic, emergent, or water-tolerant plants that rely upon natural, microbial, hydrological, and physiochemical processes to treat stormwater. Such wetlands have been developed in conjunction with the Coon Creek work to reduce flow rates and volumes during storm events, to provide surface treatment and preclude the need for downstream lake dredging, and to provide green space and wildlife habitat with associated opportunities for fishing and general enjoyment of nature.
Lake Lenexa will provide stormwater storage as well as scenic enjoyment; fountains will be a focal point. (Credit: Black & Veatch Corporation)
Lake Lenexa, the city's premier Rain to Recreation lake and most significant element of the Coon Creek watershed plan, will encompass 35 acres nestled in 240 acres of parkland that includes preserved woodlands and streamways. The overall project includes the development of three wetlands; trails; a boat ramp for small, non-motorized boats; boardwalks and docks; stairs to provide access to fishing spots and wildlife habitats; picnic shelters and restrooms; and a future amphitheater. Three miles of trails connect the lake to surrounding neighborhoods. The architecturally unique dam and spillway were designed to symbolize the water cycle as water moves from nature into the urban environment and then back to nature. A pedestrian bridge that spans the spillway will offer visitors a good view of cascading pools and a fountain.
"The Coon Creek plan and facilities design successfully delivers on the promise of Rain to Recreation," says Norris, a past APWA President. "Lenexa's vision and new perspective on stormwater management coupled with specialized expertise from Black & Veatch on the Coon Creek project will soon yield flood protection, natural stream preservation, improved water quality, and new recreational and educational opportunities for our citizens. It's a great example of putting the public first in public works."

Grass fed beef is better but not necessary.
I posted a while ago about the difficulties of primal eating on a ghetto budget. But I just have to bear witness to the truth that even without the grass fed beef or mysterious buckets of tallow people seem to be chewing on, I've never been doing better. I have removed almost all grain-based foods from my grocery list and buy primarily meats and veggies, green apples and coconut milk, avocados, hummus and other things like this. It means I eat less of the food, but I am full sooner so it almost satisfies me. But I'm a glutton anyway, so my idea of "happily full" is probably your idea of "about to explode in pain".
I've been steadily losing weight, on a weaker magnitude of something like a pound every two to three weeks. I've been sprinting and lifting, doing pushups and playing tag. I was 190 and now I'm around 180. I'm even starting to see my abs! I laugh, I live and I don't freak out about food anymore. I've also just developed a taste for pure baking chocolate since I've become a sugar dodger.
So cash in your case of ramen noodles for two coconut milk cartons, people. I rescind my previous denouncements of financial incompatibility and proclaim now that even the poor can benefit from the Primal concept.

Congratulations! I'm trying to do the same, and this goes to show that anything is better than nothing.
Thank you!
I'm not doing grass-fed or organic either at this point. I am eating pretty much the same food I always did (but I've added avocado, swiss chard, and spaghetti squash to my repertoire). Cutting out the crappy grain products and all the sugar has worked wonders.
I did make sure to add vitamin D and fish oil supplements into my plan though as partial compensation for the no grass-fed or organic thing, and I'm going to try to avoid the fats from these meats to reduce the Omega 6 impact.

Thank you for sharing that you are doing on a small budget. I have about 125. a week to feed two adults and two kids right now. I also have two teen sons who sometimes live with me and sometimes with Dad. I am not sure how I am going to make this work but I am going to try like heck.
Congratulations! It's definitely possible.
PaleoCurious - my husband and I can survive quite nicely on $50 a week. It really helps buying things like whole chickens. We'll split one for dinner and then I'll boil the bones for soup and we'll have soup for a couple of days and lunches with the extra chicken meat that comes off or that we didn't get to. Roasts are fantastic and cheap and of course various offal. If you're squeamish I recommend starting with beef heart. It's very beefy tasting but most definitely meat.
Congrats - I don't do organic or grass fed either. Maybe we all need to start a primal for cheapskates group!

95% Cotton 5% Spandex
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Thanks to the previous review, I ordered an extra large for myself (I have a 25" waist and don't like my clothes terribly tight# and an extra small for my nine year old. They both fit perfectly! These are super cute and long enough to scrunch or pulll over the heel of your ballroom shoes # although I am nly 5'5"#. I get tons of compliments everytime I wear them, and they are very soft. Only two little sparkles have fallen off in the past 4 wearings, which isn't terrible for this type of item.
Age: 30-39
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I was very disappointed when I got these today. I ordered a medium because the size chart said that a medium would be about a 28. I have several pairs of pants in a 27 and one of them is just a little snug so I got the 28 medium. I can barely button them. They fit alright in my legs because of the stretch but I wish I would have ordered the XL for the waist. Compared to my size 4/27 they are about 4 inches smaller in the waist. Unfortunately because they are a closeout I cannot exchange them. They would be cute otherwise. Very sad.

Although separated by nearly 200 miles, Greeley and Pueblo are closer than many may realize.
Schools from the two cities, for instance, have many similarities, in size and the demographics of our students.
But as Greeley-Evans School District 6 has generally improved student achievement levels over the past six years, Pueblo, once hailed as a shining example of how to educate children, has slipped. Pueblo City School District 60 has been classified by the state as a "turnaround" district, the lowest accreditation classification. It means that if the district doesn't improve significantly in five years, the state will close its schools and convert them to charters.
One question this raises is could District 6 be on the brink of a similar decline?
District 6 officials did receive some disturbing news this week that more of its individual schools declined from last year's state accreditation than improved. Two schools " John Evans IB and Jefferson High School " are classified as turnaround schools; six other schools are on priority improvement status, which is the next lowest classification.
This year's CSAP results were also a mixed bag. Several schools showed significant declines in test scores.
The school board election drew 14 candidates for four positions. As the campaign has progressed, we have heard about people who are not happy with some aspects of education in District 6, specifically about a lack of services for higher-achieving students, especially at the elementary level, and the rigid curriculum used in elementary schools.
We believe, for the most part, District 6 has done a remarkable job turning this district around. In 2005, Greeley was placed on academic watch by the state. Since then, the district has worked diligently to change the tide and has improved test scores, dramatically in some schools.
The challenges we face are serious. District 6 is one of the lowest-funded school districts in the state. Nearly two-thirds of District 6 students qualify for free and reduced lunches, which means they are growing up in poverty. More than 25 percent of our students speak a primary language other than English.
Still, we also recognize finding the best education model for our kids is an evolving process. As states are being allowed to apply to opt out of the requirements of No Child Left Behind, and our own state is revising content standards and evaluations for teachers, change is coming.
While the district defends the changes it has made most convincingly, some of the issues raised during this campaign are valid. There are concerns the district does need to address. Recent student achievement and accreditation evaluations seem to bear out that some adjustments in our education model might be needed.
After Nov. 1, a majority of the District 6 board members could be new. We urge those elected, and the District 6 administration, to be open to some level of change if it is deemed necessary.
We believe looking outside our district for ideas and information will continue to be an important strategy for District 6. Using resources within our community, including the University of Northern Colorado and others, is also important.
There is simply no perfect education model for any school district. There will always be some kids who don't succeed for a variety of reasons, and there will always be students and parents who are not happy with the direction the district takes. And some things the district tries to improve student achievement may not work.
But adapting to change and being willing to listen are important attributes for our educational leaders.
We believe District 6 officials are determined to give our kids the best education possible. We, as citizens and voters, need to make sure that goal is maintained.

The teams: Spring-Ford (1-1, 25-2), Manheim Township (3-7, 22-5), Wilson-West Lawn (3-3, 26-3), Mount St. Joseph (1-3, 23-4), Bangor (11-1, 22-6), Cheltenham (1-7, 24-3), Philadelphia Central (12-2, 18-6), Solanco (3-4, 22-5), Archbishop Carroll (12-1, 24-2), Haverford (1-8, 19-8), Downingtown West (1-3, 24-3), Cumberland Valley (3-5, 16-11), Abington Heights (2-1, 22-4), Upper Darby (1-6, 18-9), Central Dauphin (3-2, 16-10), Northeast Philadelphia (12-4, 15-6), Red Lion (3-1, 28-1), Upper Dublin (1-9, 23-5), Council Rock South (1-4, 25-2), Pleasant Valley (11-3, 18-9), North Penn (1-2, 21-6), Governor Mifflin (3-6, 17-8), Bethlehem Liberty (11-2, 16-9), Cardinal O'Hara (12-3, 21-4), Mount Lebanon (7-1, 23-3), State College (6-1, 12-11), Allderdice (8-1, 21-3), Baldwin (7-4, 18-7), Altoona (6-1, 19-4), Oakland Catholic (7-1, 24-2), McDowell (10-1, 17-6), Upper St. Clair (7-3, 14-12)
2011 champion: Mount Lebanon
The outlook: This is an outstanding field, where 17 teams have at least 20 wins and nine have at least 23. There are a couple of really terrific first- round matchups, including 26-3 Wilson of Berks County against 23-4 Mount St. Joseph and District 6 champion Altoona against 24-2 WPIAL runner-up Oakland Catholic.
For the Lady Lions, that first-round matchup could pave the way into the quarterfinals if they can pass the test, because neither McDowell nor Upper St. Clair looks to be on the level of the other two teams in the pod.
Altoona hasn't always been the easiest team to figure out, but when the Lady Lions put it all together like they did in the District 6 finals against State College, they can compete with practically anyone in their side of the bracket - they have the size and the shooting to excel in any type of game, although they are at their best in the higher tempo. Oakland Catholic, which beat Altoona in last year's first round and in Pittsburgh this regular season, would probably be considered a slight favorite over the Lady Lions in this year's tourney, but Altoona could win and find itself against the other top WPIAL power, defending champion Mount Lebanon, in the quarterfinals.
Mount Lebanon should beat State College and have no problem with probable second-round foe Baldwin.
While the Lady Blue Devils are poised to make it back into the state semifinals, though, their road back to the Bryce Jordan Center might end there. Philadelphia Catholic League power Cardinal O'Hara is in the same half of the bracket as Mount Lebanon as the third-place team from District 12 and beat probable tourney favorite Archbishop Carroll in their only head-to-head matchup. The biggest obstacle between the Lady Lions and the semifinals is Mount Union-native Don Dimoff's 28-1 District 3 champion Red Lion squad.
The upper-half of the bracket has some great teams, too. Spring-Ford has a win over O'Hara; it will receive the Wilson/Mount St. Joe's winner. Although just the seventh-place team in District 1, Cheltenham has a very good chance to knock off District 11 champ Bangor in a pretty good first- round matchup and make it to the quarterfinals, but Spring-Ford will probably end its run there.
Barring something unforeseen, Archbishop Carroll has a fairly clear path to the semifinals. Carroll's biggest hurdle will be District 1 consolation winner Downingtown West in the second round.
Mirror's finalists: Archbishop Carroll and Cardinal O'Hara
Mirror's state champion: Archbishop Carroll
The teams: Lancaster Catholic (3-1, 26-3), Freire Charter (12-4, 18-9), Honesdale (2-1, 22-5), Southern Lehigh (11-3, 23-4), Neumann-Goretti (12-2, 19-6), Nazareth Academy (1-3, 17-9), Allentown Central Catholic (11-1, 26-1), Danville (4-2, 17-8), Malvern Villa Maria (1-1, 21-4), West York (3-5, 20-7), Shamokin (4-1, 19-5), Nanticoke (2-2, 23-3), Palmyra (3-3, 23-4), Bethlehem Catholic (11-2, 23-4), Prep Charter (12-1, 25-3), Susquehanna Township (3-6, 20-6), Oley Valley (3-2, 25-2), Archbishop Wood (12-3, 15-10), Villa Joseph Marie (1-2, 15-10), Camp Hill Trinity (3-4, 20-7), Hollidaysburg (6-1, 15-8), Elizabeth Forward (7-5, 18-5), South Park (7-2, 23-3), Hickory (10-2, 23-3), Hopewell (7-1, 24-2), Mercyhurst Prep (10-3, 24-1), Bradford (9-1, 24-0), Blackhawk (7-4, 22-4), Westinghouse(8-1, 19-5), Chartiers Valley (7-3, 22-3), Franklin (10-1, 24-2), South Fayette (7-6, 17-8)
2011 champion: Archbishop Wood
The outlook: One could argue that for the last couple of years, no classification in the PIAA tournament has been as unpredictable or tumultuous than girls Class AAA, and it promises to be another wild ride this postseason.
For instance, in the bottom half of the bracket, there's an undefeated Bradford team coming out of District 9 that few are taking seriously and could have a chip on its shoulder looking for respect. The Lady Owls, if they beat Blackhawk, have a second- round date with District 7 champ and perennial power Hopewell. District 10 champion Franklin appears to have a reasonably easy path in its bid to return to the state quarterfinals, presumably to face Hopewell.
Hopewell, though, could go out in the first round, where it has to take on once-beaten Mercyhurst Prep, a team that has beaten Class AA power Villa Maria and some out of state teams; the Lady Lakers dropped the District 10 semifinals to Franklin by six but are good enough to play in the state championship.
Hollidaysburg, this year, is in the third quarter bracket, meaning it is in a part of the tournament that is half teams from the western side of the state and half from the east. The Lady Tigers don't have as good a record as they did entering the playoffs last year and aren't as deep, but they still are capable of making some noise because they do possess talent and could very easily have had five more wins against a demanding schedule. Hollidaysburg could get a test in the opening game from Elizabeth Forward, but it should move into the second round against the survivor of South Park and Hickory, the respective District 7 and District 10 runners-up. That would be a winnable game for the Lady Tigers, but they would be an underdog.
If Hollidaysburg does manage to reach the quarterfinals, the likely opponent would be Archbishop Wood of the Philadelphia Catholic League, the team that seems most probable to come out of this quarter-bracket.
Philadelphia Catholic League teams have dominated the top half of the bracket in recent years, but that run should be put to the test this time around by the likes of Allentown Central Catholic, Lancaster Catholic, Philly Villa Maria, Bethleham Catholic and, above all, Prep Charter, led by McDonald's All-American Kahleah Copper. Prep Charter actually won District 12 this year and is the odds-on favorite to represent the top half of the bracket at Penn State.
Allentown Central will get the first legitimate shot to knock off this year's Catholic League power, Neumann-Goretti, in the second round, with the winner of that set to meet Lancaster Catholic.
Prep Charter's path to the semifinals probably includes Bethlehem Catholic (second round) and Villa Maria (quarterfinals).
Mirror's finalists: Prep Charter and Franklin
Mirror's state champion: Franklin
The teams: Carver Engineering & Sciences (12-1, 16-5), Lancaster Mennonite (3-3, 20-8), Montrose (2-1, 24-2), Wyalusing Valley (4-2, 22-3), Pine Grove (11-1, 17-7), New Hope-Solebury (1-2, 13-12), Delone Catholic (3-2, 21-5), South Williamsport (4-3, 22-3), York Catholic (3-1, 25-3), Imhotep Charter (12-3, 16-5), Christopher Dock Mennonite (1-1, 19-5), Dunmore (2-2, 23-4), Philadelphia Bishop McDevitt (12-2, 1-18), Minersville (11-2, 7-18), Mount Carmel (4-1, 25-0), Mid-Valley (2-3, 17-11), Seton-LaSalle (7-1, 25-0), Greenville (10-3, 21-4), Comemaugh Township (5-1, 23-2), Richland 6-2, 19-7), Girard (10-2, 20-4), Steel Valley (7-4, 19-6), Cranberry (9-1, 23-1), Beaver Falls (7-5, 15-10), Forest Hills (6-1, 24-2), Tussey Mountain (5-2, 19-6), Keystone Oaks (7-3, 19-7), Moniteau (9-2, 14-10), Bishop Canevin Catholic (7-2, 21-5), Blairsville (6-3, 21-4), Erie Villa Maria (10-1, 21-4), Avonworth (7-6, 19-5)
2011 champion: Erie Villa Maria
The outlook: Traditionally, this has become Villa Maria versus York Catholic. While those teams still could meet up in University Park again, it's a little less likely and will require a little more heavy lifting this season, now that they've graduated stars Kayla McBride and Kady Schrann to Division I college programs.
In fact, it would be an upset for Villa, the three-time defending champion to make it back to the BJC at all.
A new power has emerged out of the WPIAL: Seton-LaSalle. After falling to Villa handily in last year's semifinals, the Lady Rebels seem to have come back determined to make amends. Seton-LaSalle is undefeated, and that includes wins over District 7 Class AAAA finalists Mount Lebanon and Oakland Catholic.
The Lady Rebels shouldn't have any problems with Greenville and St. Francis recruit Brooklyn Taylor in the first round or whoever emerges from the Johnstown-area clash of District 5 champion Conemaugh Township and upstart District 6 runner-up Richland in the second. Then, it's on to a quarterfinal encounter with either District 10 runner-up Girard or District 9 champion Cranberry.
Villa Maria probably will face Seton-LaSalle in the semifinals, but Forest Hills, Keystone Oaks and Canevin all could throw a monkey wrench into that.
York Catholic once again is the District 3 champion. The Fighting Irish appear to be looking at a showdown with surprising 2011 finalist Dunmore in the second round. The winner of that could be set to square off against Mount Carmel, Minersville or Mid-Valley, the team that upset York Catholic in last year's semis; Mount Carmel is undefeated, but the Lady Tornadoes don't play as demanding a schedule since they left the Schuylkill League - they beat Minersville earlier this season by three.
However, the pick here to advance to the finals is Delone Catholic. The Squirettes have been the bridesmaid to York Catholic for the last few years, and this is McDonald's All-American Sierra Moore's last chance to reach the finals. Although York Catholic won the last two head-to-head meetings, Delone was most convincing in winning the first, and look for it to find a way to make it to the championship game.
Delone will have to beat South Williamsport and superstar Tierney Pfirman in the first round but shouldn't have to break much of a sweat until a potential quarterfinal game against either Montrose or Lancaster Mennonite.
Mirror's finalists: Delone Catholic and Seton-LaSalle
Mirror's state champion: Seton-LaSalle
The teams: Lebanon Catholic (3-1, 19-6), Muncy (4-4, 17-8), Old Forge (2-1, 17-6), Morrisville (1-2, 23-2), Line Mountain (4-2, 24-1), Marian Catholic (11-2, 19-6), Math, Civics & Sciences (12-1, 10-7), Harrisburg Christian (3-3, 23-4), Tri-Valley (11-1, 26-0), New Media Tech (12-2, 10-6), Lourdes Regional (4-1, 22-3), Steelton-Highspire (3-2, 23-3), Cowanesque Valley (4-3, 18-7), Conemaugh Valley (6-3, 18-7), Delaware County Christian (1-1, 14-11), Forest City (2-2, 13-11), Vincentian (7-1, 25-1), Kane (9-4, 19-7), Southern Fulton (5-1, 25-1), Elk County Catholic (9-3, 23-4), Clarion (9-2, 21-4), Homer-Center (6-2, 21-4), Kennedy Catholic (10-1, 20-3), Riverview (7-4, 16-8), Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic (6-1, 23-2), Saegertown (10-3, 17-8), Fort Cherry (7-3, 23-2), Berlin Brothersvalley (5-1, 23-3), Pittsburgh North Catholic (7-2, 20-6), Conneaut Valley (10-2, 20-4), Keystone (9-1, 25-1), Winchester Thurston (7-5, 13-10)
2011 champion: Steelton-Highspire
The outlook: Bishop Guilfoyle's been on an amazing run the last five years, going to four state finals and winning three of them. There's no reason to believe the beat won't go on in 2012.
Despite actually losing two games in the regular season (to Class AA Delone Catholic and Forest Hills) and all-starter Halee Adams still a bit of an uncertainty with only 11 games under her belt after knee surgery, this Lady Marauder team might have more upside than last year's. First, it has an extra year's experience. Second, Altoona transfer Courtney Becker has given BG a true forward in the lineup. Third, Adams' unavailability allowed some depth to develop and enabled Kayla Bates to step up and become a more assertive offensive performer. The Lady Marauders still are exceptional on defense, especially with their big guards disrupting opposing offenses at their inception.
Guilfoyle's path won't be easy. Although Saegertown doesn't seem to match up especially well in the first round, likely second-round foe Fort Cherry gave the Lady Marauders all they could handle in last year's quarterfinals, and potential quarterfinal opponent North Catholic always is a threat; District 9 champion Keystone, while 26-1, is probably a little too young to challenge yet.
With apologies to Southern Fulton, the three teams most likely to oppose Guilfoyle in the semifinals are District 7 champ Vincentian, District 6 runner-up Homer-Center and District 10 winner Kennedy Catholic. Vincentian and Homer, the semifinalists the past two years, are proven commodities. Kennedy, once a top program that has fallen off in the last decade, is a wild card that could be on its way back; the Lady Eagles have been absolutely crushing teams in the last two months.
The top of the bracket is a three-horse race with District 3 champ Lebanon Catholic likely to meet either undefeated Tri-Valley or 2011 PIAA champion Steelton-Highspire and reigning player of the year Malia Tate-DeFreitas in the other. Delco Christian derailed a Steel-High/Tri-Valley showdown last year, but it looks like these trains are on a definite collision course this postseason.
Mirror's finalists: Tri-Valley and Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic

Dear Car Coach: A friend of mine was telling me about E15 gasoline and then he saw you on a national news show talking about it but couldn't remember all the details. Can you clarify this? – W.L., Amherst
Dear W.L.: Here is what the news story was about and how it affects drivers. You may not even notice the sticker at the gas pump, but next to each pump is a square sticker stating E10, E85 or E15. E85, E15 or E10 tells you the percentage of ethanol blended in your gasoline. Note E85 is for "Flex-Fuel" vehicles only.
Ethanol is a corn derivative that now comprises 10 percent of the gasoline at most filling stations throughout the United States. Called E10, its main function is to reduce the amount of foreign oil we consume and produce fewer emissions. While this sounds great in theory, some evidence has shown that ethanol-blended gasoline can be harmful for various reasons, and now the EPA has approved as much as 15 percent, a 50 percent increase, of our gasoline be laden with it.
The EPA needs to recognize that no substantial testing has been conducted to determine the long-term effects of 15 percent ethanol-blended gasoline, or E15, and that further analysis and assessment are required before caving to the pressure of ethanol special interests.
Here's why:
Tests have shown that fuel efficiency drops with all ethanol as it has 30 to 35 percent less energy density than regular unleaded gas. This will force drivers to buy more fossil fuel and can increase our dependency on foreign oil, not to mention cause cars to produce more emissions.
E15 voids some manufacturers' warranties as it can deteriorate emissions devices on cars because it burns hotter than regular unleaded gasoline.
What is the real environmental impact if it burns out catalytic converters, which are emissions devices? Drivers who can't afford to replace or repair them will drive vehicles that will pollute more.
Many drivers will have negative results from E15 and will be responsible for expensive fuel system repairs. This includes replacement gas tanks, fuel lines and fuel pumps and emissions systems.
E15 must be transported via nontraditional methods, which increases the costs to manufacture and deliver. This also results in paying more for food costs while farmers switch over to corn crops.
Some tests have shown that cold weather starting is significantly affected by E15.
Other tests show that cars that are less than 10 years old aren't as affected as older vehicles. If your car is a model year 2000 or older, don't risk it; this could be a very expensive tank of gasoline.
Many boats, motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, weed eaters, etc., are not equipped to run on ethanol-blended gasoline. E15 would only worsen this issue and cause further damage to the engines of these vehicles and devices. On paper, there are many valid arguments for E15, but preliminary tests and E10 usage show otherwise. Even the American Automobile Association and the Specialty Equipment Market Association have spoken out against E15 and the damage it causes to vehicles.
Dear Car Coach: I have bought a new car every 10 years since the '60s and average about 15,000 miles a year. Along with regular oil changes, I change the coolant every two years/30,000 miles and transmission fluid every three years/50,000 miles. I just bought a 2012 Toyota RAV4 and the manual does not list any transmission fluid changes and lists the first coolant change at 100,000 miles. I know engines and lubricants are better now, but are these intervals adequate? – J.G., Buffalo
Dear J.G.: Technology and lubricants are constantly evolving. New synthetic engine oils should be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles based on the owner's manual suggestions. The same holds true for transmissions. Some are sealed and others require more service. Some service stations may try to pressure you to do the changes earlier, but it's about the up-sell. When it comes to coolant or antifreeze, long-life coolant provides 150,000 miles or five years of maximum protection when a complete cooling system flush and fill is performed. The owner's manual should have a service schedule that I highly recommend following. When you decide to have any service performed, make sure to use the fluid recommended in your owner's manual and shop around.

Wonderful house and we can't tell how much our family loved staying at this place. We stayed here almost a week, with my wife, my 2 year old son, my mother, and 2 small dogs. Being a house, we didn't have to worry about my son running around and making noise, which is a big plus for a family having small kids. Fully air conditioned, fast WiFi, super markets near by, and what's more, a beach being 2 minutes walk away is a SUPER NICE place, I tell you!
The only minus would be is that there was a suspension of water on the day we arrived, due to some construction around the block. However Margarita and her husband has kindly supported us to solve this issue. Very trust worthy people, and if I ever have the chance to go to Mallorca again, I will definitely book this place without no doubt! Once again thank you!!
We had two wonderful weeks in the beautiful finca of Margarita & Sebastia.
We would like to thank them for their their great hospitality and support. They made us feel at home for this period of time.
We stayed there with our two kids and they loved the pool where both of them learned swimming. There was a lot of space to relax and since there are only corn fields surrounding the property it was very quiet. We had is a wonderful view both in the direction of St. Margalida with the beautiful church and the wind mill and towards the Tramuntana mountains on the other hand.
Wir haben 14 herrliche Tage auf Mallorca in dem wunderschönen Haus von Margerita verbracht. Die Gastgeber Margerita und Sebastian haben uns freundlich empfangen und waren sehr zuvorkommend. Die Schlüsselübergabe und Einweisung in das Haus -in Englisch- waren problemlos. Das Haus und die gesamte Ausstattung, der schöne Garten und der große Swimming-Pool sind ein wahre Pracht. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

28 October 1999
(Burleigh: Money must go to help Iraqi people, not weapons program) (1260) By Judy Aita Washington File United Nations Correspondent United Nations -- The United States October 28 appealed to Security Council members to uphold their responsibilities to have an oil-for-food program that meets the basic needs of the Iraqi people but also to stop Iraq from reacquiring weapons of mass destruction. U.S. Ambassador Peter Burleigh said that the United States puts so-called "holds" on oil-for-food contracts for a variety of reasons, first and foremost on dual use items -- those items that can be used both for civilian or military purposes, specifically with regard to weapons of mass destruction. "The world knows that Iraq has a demonstrated commitment to both sustaining and, if possible, rebuilding its weapons of mass destruction capabilities," Burleigh pointed out. "We are very concerned about that and we go over every contract with that question in mind," the ambassador told journalists after a private Security Council meeting on the oil-for-food program. "We balance that with our deep concern about the humanitarian interests of the Iraqi people," he added. Burleigh, the deputy U.S. representative to the council, said he "made an appeal to council members that everyone on the council has the responsibility to do both -- that is to have a program that meets the humanitarian needs of the Iraqi people -- which are real." "Secondly, but not secondarily, at the same time maintain the purpose of the sanctions and the purpose of the review ... (and) to the extent possible to stop any import into Iraq of something that would help their weapons of mass destruction program," the ambassador said. The current oil-for-food program allows Iraq to sell $5,260 million worth of oil every six months under strict U.N. supervision with the proceeds going to buy humanitarian supplies for Iraqi civilians, provide funds for a U.N. administered program for the northern Kurdish provinces, pay compensation claims, and help finance weapons inspections. The United States and Britain have been criticized for increasing the number of "holds" on contracts for goods Iraq wants to purchase under the oil-for food program. All 15 countries who are members of the Security Council are also members of the Iraqi Sanctions Committee and review the pending contracts. Secretary General Kofi Annan said October 25 that 572 contracts worth about $700 million were on hold awaiting approval. The Security Council also has been discussing a resolution that would deal with the creation of an organization to replace the UN Special Commission overseeing the destruction of Iraqi weapons (UNSCOM) which was set up under the council's cease-fire resolution 687 at the end of the Gulf war in 1991 and the mandatory economic sanctions that have been in place since Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 and are linked to the weapons destruction. The draft resolution also deals with important questions regarding the "oil-for-food program," the outstanding issue of 600 Kuwaiti POWs who have never been accounted for and substantial missing property claims. One of the important parts of a new resolution, Burleigh said, will be a "new special commission, whatever it is called, that will have the same mandate as UNSCOM and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). Both of them monitored dual use items in Iraq for the council and reported back to the council if they found any discrepancies for the purpose stated for the dual use item." Iraq began severely interfering with UN weapons inspections in August 1998, finally forcing UN inspectors to withdraw completely in December 1998, precipitating U.S. and British bombing. UNSCOM has not been allowed back into Iraq since and weapons experts fear that Iraq has taken the opportunity presented by the lack of arms inspections to resume research and production of the banned weapons. U.S. officials say that Iraq's history of developing and using weapons of mass destruction, especially chemical and biological weapons, is such that Washington wants a very intrusive inspection system on the ground. Since the arms inspectors left Iraq last year, the United States has had to be especially careful when reviewing the contracts for supplies other than food and medicine. The weapons inspectors provided another level of assurance that the goods were not being diverted for military purposes, U.S. officials say. "We felt compelled to be even more rigorous in our reviews because UNSCOM was the organization under the import/export regime that was charged with spot checking items of dual use," one U.S. official noted. "UNSCOM left and it became much more difficult for us in good faith to approve ... items of a general dual use nature." At the same time, the complexity of the goods and the needs in Iraq have changed, adding to the technical review problems, the official pointed out. Contracts now include not only food, health and nutrition, which are the priority items, but items for electricity, water, sanitation, education, agriculture and oil spare parts. U.S. officials stress that 95 percent of the contracts that have been submitted, numbering in the thousands, have been approved. U.S. officials also point out that the United States and Britain are two of the few delegations on the council with the manpower and resources to check the contracts. France, China and Russia, three other countries on the council with the resources to thoroughly review the contracts, do not do so. The three, which all do business in Iraq, have also been pressing to ease sanctions before Iraqi disarmament is completed. Burleigh said the United States is "more than ready to work with the UN through the council and UN Office of Iraq Program to look at ways where there can be UN monitors on the ground in Iraq who could reassure the Security Council ... that it is in fact there for civilian purpose." Burleigh said the U.S. was also going to press the UN's Office of Iraq Program to ensure that the so-called "food basket" provided under the program meets the target of 2,400 calories a day as recommended by the UN. The current food basket is providing 2,100 calories per day. "We think they should go up to the recommended level," Burleigh said. "The overall value of the program -- $5.2 billion -- was based on the UN recommendation that they needed 2,400 calories each day. So we'd like to insist that be the case," the ambassador said. "Money is not a problem now," Burleigh pointed out. "There is going to be up to ($7,000 million) in this 6th phase. They bought up to $5,200 million and the council authorized them to use the money that had not been used in the previous phases so there is no excuse on the humanitarian front for not meeting these targets." "So we are expecting Iraq to do that," Burleigh said. The current 6th phase of the oil-for-food program will end on November 20 and Burleigh said the U.S. is prepared to consider allocating additional money in phase 7 for spare oil parts to help repair Iraq's oil industry so it can meet the production targets for the program. "In our view, as has been the case in the past, those spare parts have to be directly linked to the humanitarian purposes of the program," Burleigh said. On that basis the United States has supported $300 million for oil spare parts in the past three phases of the oil-for-food program.

Luck prepares to face coaches who know him best
Who would you rather have: Kaepernick or Luck?
With Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck, Stanford went 25-13 and played in two bowl games. (AP)
more on luck
There is no data to display.
Andrew Luck is 43-for-66 passing for 499 yards, three touchdowns and an interception; the Colts are 1-1. (USA TODAY IMAGES)
Jim Harbaugh recruited quarterback Andrew Luck to Stanford and coached him there for three seasons.
On Sunday, the 49ers face Luck and the Indianapolis Colts at Candlestick Park. Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, finished second in NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting to Washington's Robert Griffin. He is one of the top young stars in the NFL.
Harbaugh and 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are finding it is a lot less complicated to devise a game plan to highlight Luck's strengths than it is to come up with a defensive strategy to exploit his weaknesses.
"There's not a lot of weaknesses that he has," Harbaugh said. "He's a top-notch player. We're going to have to be very sound, very good."
Luck said on a conference call Wednesday morning with Bay Area reporters that his main concern is facing a 49ers defense that consists of "a lot of Pro Bowl players, a lot of studs."
Said Luck, "I've given it a little bit of thought, but I don't think it changes anything from my end. I'm not going to change how I prepare, the process, just because coach Harbaugh, coach Fangio and coach (Greg) Roman are over there.
"It'll be sort of fun, I guess, to see those guys," Luck added. "I feel very fortunate to have played under them in college and they taught me so much about football and growing up. But at the end of the day, it'll be another game."
Luck said he does not approach this week's preparations with an interest in how the 49ers plan to defend him, as much as the curiosity of how the 49ers will plan for the Colts' offense as a whole, he said.
"I wouldn't say necessarily me," he said. "I'm curious to see how they're going to approach us as an offense from a defensive standout. Yeah, that's part of every week. I don't know if it'll be any more this week just because of coach Fangio or Harbaugh."
Luck also has a connection to the quarterback on the other sideline. Luck recalls meeting Colin Kaepernick at the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana in July before his junior season. Kaepernick was entering his final year at Nevada.
"I was very impressed with him," Luck said. "Obviously, he was big, strong an incredible looking athlete. But what a great guy -- easy to get along with. I doubt you can find anyone who has a bad word to say about him."
As the story goes, Luck went back to Stanford and spoke with Harbaugh about Kaepernick. And a year later, Kaepernick was the first quarterback the 49ers would add to their roster after Harbaugh left Stanford to take over as 49ers head coach.
As for the details, Luck said he is a little hazy about what he said to Harbaugh.
"I must've said something because I remember people talking about that as a story when he got drafted," Luck said. "But I don't remember a specific conversation at that point."
Luck said he wishes he also had a better memory for the conversations he had with Fangio, who served as Stanford's defensive coordinator.
"I wish I'd paid more attention to those conversations now, I guess," Luck said. "Coach Fangio was a great coach when I was at Stanford. Guys really loved him. He did so much for our defense there. As a quarterback, his door was always open to anybody to come talk to him. So every now and then, I'd have the opportunity to walk in and say hi.
"They whopped our butts every now and then at practice, and I wanted to figure out why the defense was doing so well. What are our weaknesses? What are my weaknesses? He was always very accommodating and very patient with what probably seemed to be a young brat, snot-nosed quarterback coming in and trying to learn a little about defense."

0. phoneArena 22 Nov 2012, 22:29 posted on
The HTC Deluxe DLX has been photographed once again, and once again we see that it is the same phone known in the states as the HTC DROID DNA and in Japan as the HTC J Butterfly; the pictures show the device in three color choices, black, brown and white...

I have my trust in HTC because of the software. Even though it has an s4 pro, something makes think that in some point in time it will start to lag. What I have noticed with the newest version of sense is that some animations have been removed which make every action seem abrupt.

Flash Cyanogenmod and get rid of sense et voilà!

I know but my warranty will be voided and cyanogenmod is not perfect. It will have bugs.
20. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Official releases of CyanogenMod are pretty damn near perfect. I haven't heard of any complaints of bugs on official builds of CM10 from any of the XDA threads that I've read.
The warranty part is true, but honestly you'll want to get a case for this anyway, as you would any smartphone. And, most sale representatives won't check if you've rooted your phone if you go in there with it bricked (if that does happen during the process). I went in with a bricked phone once, just played dumb and got a new one.
Rooting/modding your phone isn't as bad as one might think just reading through the cons.

The white one is beautiful, the all black one is okay but "DNAish" one is meh, I hate these red bands poping from out of nowhere.
12. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
what a good looking device!! definitely looks better than galaxy phones!!!
but hope HTC considers the removable battery and expandable storage! coz thats why a lot of people hate iPhone coz of that! i really hate most company keep on following iPhone way...
I WANT REMOVABLE BATTERY AND EXPANDABLE MEMORY!!!! no... I NEED IT!!!
19. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
HTC is probably going to put 64 GB storage on this like they did the One X+. With that much storage, I doubt you'll really need expandable memory.
Also, it might not come with LTE like the international One X+ did, so the battery life would be better than the DNA on Verizon, which already goes past 10 hours (according to PA). So expect 10-12+ hours of normal usage out of the DLX.
21. redmd (Posts: 1269; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
continuous LTE usage only last for 4 hours. that's according to gsmarena.
23. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Where in the article did it say that?
28. xperiaboy (Posts: 12; Member since: 08 Nov 2012)
i agree to that :) but in terms of performance the galaxy phones are better for me :) just my opinion :)
13. xperiaboy (Posts: 12; Member since: 08 Nov 2012)
isnt that beautiful :)
15. redmd (Posts: 1269; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
now every thing else looks mid range.
17. XYZ360 (Posts: 53; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
OMG such beauty
18. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
The white one looks the best out of the three colors! Htc is the best when it comes to the design of the phones!
22. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The white is freaking beautiful. I just wish it didn't look so glossy, that's the problem have with Samsung, the gloss. Would love to have this, but Nexus 4 is for me. Not dealing with skins anymore.
24. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
25. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Nah, I'm done with CM for now. I'd rather go with the Nexus 4 and not have to go that extra length to get stock/instant updates, like I had to do with my GS2. Plus, what does the DLX really have over the Nexus 4? A pretty screen? I'm sure S-LCD3 is spectacular, but LG's LCD-IPS will do just fine.
As for resolution, there won't be much different from an average viewing distance between 1080p and 720p on that small scale. 7"+ screens you can only see a major difference between 720p and 1080p.
29. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Cyanogen isnt just about the pure android experience, its also about the nice added features and tweaks I actually cant live without. And yeah if N4 floats your boat then go for it! :)
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yeah, it was nice while it lasted, but from now on I'm going to be running on pure, unadulterated Android.
26. random (Posts: 16; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
Reminds me of SGS III, front of white phone and spacing on top/bottom looks a lot like it.
But that's probably true for any white phone with big screen.

Looks beautiful..!!

Gove wins plaudits for defence of Israel
Education Secretary Michael Gove told British supporters of Israel this week that human rights activists and politicians were wrong to use the word "disproportionate" when talking about Israel's military response to threats to its security.
His comments will raise eyebrows among his colleagues, not least Foreign Secretary William Hague, who described Israel's assault on Lebanon in 2006 in precisely those terms.
Advocacy organisations in Britain, including Conservative Friends of Israel, have subsequently worked hard to persuade Tory politicians not to use such incendiary language.
Mr Gove expressed his concern at the annual dinner of Bicom, the British Israel Communications and Research Centre, noting that Israel was singled out for criticism by campaigners where other nations were not.
He cited China's occupation of Tibet as an example. He said he believed that the campaign to delegitimise Israel was based on "Jew hatred".
The dinner was attended by senior figures in the Jewish community and prominent figures such as Defence Secretary Liam Fox, former Labour Communities Secretary Hazel Blears andTony Blair's political director, Matthew Doyle.

Nearly each seat in the main seating level was filled by the time his 7 p.m. presentation began, with the rows lined with people chatting and skimming new copies of the "Here Comes Trouble" memoir beforehand.
The book is Moore's latest work and what he's currently on tour promoting.
Rod Birleson, co-producer of Moore's 2009 documentary, "Capitalism: A Love Story," opened the event by honoring librarians and the work of the Flint Public Library.
Before introducing the man of the hour, Birleson narrated a few personal memories he shares with Moore, eliciting laughter from the crowd. He spoke about the first time Moore approached him to make a film -- without even having a camera.
The chuckles quickly turned to stomping, shouting and the roaring applause of a standing ovation when Moore came out onto the stage, introduced as "public servant, Michael Moore."
It might have been the Occupy Flint protesters who truly opened the show, however, overpowering the crowd by using Moore's common human microphone technique to chant his praise and thank him for being "the voice of the people."
"I think Occupy Flint has occupied the balcony," he said afterwards, laughing.
True to form, Moore was donned in a baseball cap – Spartans – and black blazer with jeans and tennis shoes. Though he had a mini-living room set, with an area rug, chair, table and lamp, he stood behind the podium to speak in the beginning.
Moore led with a few jokes, personal stories, a few gut-busting imitations of congress and "The Matrix" renditions of peoples' reactions to President Obama using his middle name – Hussein – on the ballot during the 2008 elections.
"I want that brave Barack Obama back," he said.
Moore captured the crowd by using light-hearted jokes to get at hard-hitting issues, including the Occupy movement – also praising the "hard work and energy of young people" – and the meaning of democracy when so few people own so much of the wealth, he says.
He also brought the crowd to cheers when he spoke of visiting Capitol Theatre earlier today and discussing what he can help do to bring it back.
"It could be a real beacon and magnet for downtown Flint," he said.
After a few anecdotes and then giving his personal list of positive things the city of Flint needs, Moore retreated to the chair "to read a few bedtime stories."
He read passages from some of his two dozen anecdotes which compile his memoir, including stories from his ancestors settling in Flint, the neighborhood he grew up in, hearing the "N" word as a child, and seeing kids being bullied for homosexuality -- before he even understood what it was, he explained.
For each of the 2000 books Moore bought from the publisher and brought
with him this evening, 100-percent of the proceeds will benefit the
Flint Public Library.

The Phillies already struggling pitching staff just took another blow.
John Lannan has been place on the 15-day disabled list with a strained quadriceps tendon in his left knee. Lannan left the Phillies 11-2 loss against the Cincinnati Reds with pain in his knee after attempting a bunt.
The Phillies have not yet made a move to replace Lannan on the roster.
Despite getting tagged for six earned runs in 1.2 innings pitched on Wednesday, Lannan has been one of the Phillies better starting pitchers so far this season. Lannan had allowed just four earned runs in 13 innings pitched going into the teams game against the Reds, with the Phillies winning both of the games he started.
With Lannan now out for at least his next two to three starts, the Phillies will have to either bring a starting pitcher up from the minors or sign one. That's bad news for a starting rotation that was struggling so far this season. As a staff the Phillies pitchers have an ERA of 4.90 this season, second worst in the National League.

What experiences do you have that make you a good candidate for office?
I was born and raised in McHenry having attended St. Patrick's school and McHenry West Campus. I served on the McHenry High School Board of Education from 1983 to 1993, and from 1987 through 1991 as the Board President. I also served as McHenry's mayor from 1993 to 2001, and Vice-President of the McHenry County Council of Mayors from 1997 to 2001. I am an experienced attorney representing clients throughout McHenry County and Northern Illinois. From my law practice I have gained first hand knowledge of zoning, land development and annexation issues which face McHenry. As mayor I was instrumental in annexing the west side of the Fox River, the major retail development on North 31, doubling the size of Peterson Park and the preservation of the Peterson farm and homestead. During my tenure, business development alone exceeded $100,000,000.00. I have over 20 years of experience serving local government and 34 years as a practicing attorney. As a result I have a unique understanding of government process, the importance of strong leadership and elected representatives who appreciate the impact they have on the day to day lives of their constituents.
What are your top two or three priorities if elected?
My first and highest priority will be the retention of our retail businesses and re-development of the west Route 120 business corridor. McHenry cannot afford to lose another major retailer to any of our neighboring communities. Walmart's move to Johnsburg costs McHenry over $1,000,000.00 per year in lost sales tax revenue. Within my first 90 days in office I will personally meet with every business owner along the north Route 31 and west Route 120 commercial corridors. I will do everything in my power to ensure that our retail base expands rather than contracts. Every sales tax dollar we collect is one less dollar of real estate tax billed to the property owners of McHenry. Secondly, within the first month of my term I will ask the City Council to pass a resolution opposing the location of a METRA station and train yard north of Peterson Park. METRA's proposal to run commuter trains through Peterson Park is in high gear with engineering scheduled to begin this summer. Running eight or more trains through the center of Peterson Park on a daily basis will destroy McHenry's greatest park and endanger the safety of everyone who uses this facility.
Would you support freezing your taxing district's levy until housing prices rebound? Why or why not?
I would support freezing McHenry's tax levy for the short-term on the condition that McHenry collects sufficient revenue to provide adequate police protection and other vital services we rely upon. I will not enact a freeze, politically grand stand and then raise user and license fees to make up for the lost revenue. Housing and property values will stabilize only when McHenry dedicates itself to the approval of development which benefits all of the city and not just landowners out to make a quick buck.
What one decision by the city council do you most disagree with and why?
The city's decision to pay over 4 million dollars for a fifty year old building and attempt to convert it to a public works garage was a huge and costly mistake. Between the building's acquisition costs, engineering fees and now a new heating system, McHenry is paying for a decades old structure which was never designed for that use. It is a money pit whose costs will only increase with the age of the building. Near the end of my tenure as mayor, the City commenced the design and development of a comprehensive public works facility to be located just east of city hall. That project was abandoned for the boondoggle behind the Jewel Food Store. The projected cost for a new building, specifically designed for public works, was comparable to the price the city is now paying or an old and decrepit building.
What was the biggest accomplishment of the board in the past year?
I am running for election because I do not believe the City Council has had any major accomplishments in the last year or several years before that. It has failed to plan or protect the homes and businesses along Routes 31 and 120 although it has known for years that IDOT intends to convert Route 31 to a 5 lane highway in front of St. Mary's and Montini Middle school. The number of vacant and for sale buildings along west Route 120 grows on a daily basis. As mayor I will do whatever is necessary to redevelop what was once a vital retail corridor in McHenry. The City Council has failed to address METRA's plans for Peterson Park. This inaction, if continued will haunt McHenry for many decades. These failures cloud any accomplishments of the City Council.
Why should voters elect you to office?
McHenry needs effective leadership, it cannot continue on its current course. As a former mayor, I provided the leadership which made McHenry one of the most vibrant communities in the county during the late 1990\\\'s. I promise "hands on" leadership. As McHenry's mayor you will always know my position. I will not hide behind "staff recommendations." I am a proponent of rigorous dialog amongst City Council members. I will not shirk from controversy. I will meet with any constituent and return every phone call. I will take full responsibility for every decision made by the city. As your mayor all my actions will be based solely upon what is best for the city. Together we can make McHenry a great place to live, work and raise our families.
