CBNNews.com - RAMALLAH, West Bank - The Palestinian Authority's (PA) chief prosecutor escaped unharmed Tuesday when a bomb went off as he started his car.
"I heard an explosion from the back of the car, and I ran away quickly," said Ahmed al-Mughni, prosecutor general for the PA.
The attempted assassination appears linked to Mughni's ongoing efforts to track down and expose broad-based financial corruption in the PA.
Mughbi is probing upwards of 50 cases of financial corruption and embezzlement of public funds among top PA officials.
According to Mughbi, several unnamed PA officials have been arrested during the past two years, while a number of others fled to other Arab countries.
Mughbi declined to speculate on possible suspects in the attempted assassination, saying that he's waiting to see what PA security forces in Ramallah discover.

On September 13 of this year, Los Angeles will get its first major exhibition of Frank Gehry's work, ever. Despite being the adopted hometown of the world-famous architect, and the city whose new-millennium architectural identity has been inflected most by his work, Los Angeles has not yet hosted a show exclusively on Gehry's retrospective.

On November 7, dozens of artists, writers, and collectives ceremoniously participated in Let Them Eat LACMA , closing Fallen Fruit's EATLACMA , a yearlong investigation of food, the natural growth cycle, and the social role of art. That day, over 7,000 visitors to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art made their way to scheduled events, intersecting with chewing carolers, belly-listeners, and roving bands that unified the fragmented campus; weaving through fruit-droppers, vocal mimes, and hungry puppets, I had my second look at Fallen Fruit's recuration of the permanent collection and garden structures.

POMPTON LAKES - Some weary canines have made it to New Jersey following a cross-country trip.
Last month, they were among 124 dogs rescued after being stored in cages at a warehouse in Washington state. They were recovering at a facility in Arizona, where they were picked up by a group called "Wheels 4 Paws."
Pat Webb says the trip was essential to their survival. She drove over 2,400 miles with five of the dogs.
MORE: Animals in the News
The dogs have a great future ahead of them, according to Webb. "Hopefully a little bit of rehabilitation, getting them socialized and people friendly, getting them to trust again," she says. "And then adoption."
Webb says the large dogs, including a Saint Bernard, were kept in airline crates.

Ford will unveil the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show this Thursday, kicking off a new chapter for the utility that has changed the face of law enforcement.
Since its introduction in 2012, Police Interceptor Utility quickly became America's best-selling police vehicle, helping Ford capture 55 percent of the U.S. law enforcement vehicle market.
The 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility was developed with input from the Ford Police Advisory Board to handle the extreme rigors of police duty. In the business of fighting crime, performance and durability are king. Ford Police Interceptor Utility is the only Pursuit Rated midsize utility vehicle; Ford's utility and sedan versions are the only Pursuit Rated vehicles with standard all-wheel drive.
"Our Police Interceptor Utility is the best-selling police vehicle in America because we have a unique relationship with our customers," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford North American marketing manager for Police Vehicles. "By listening to the Ford Police Advisory Board, we have engineered a vehicle that officers love."

Dusit grows brand family at ITB Berlin
Dusit International reasserts its position as one of Asia's leading hospitality groups at the world's largest annual tourism exhibition, ITB Berlin. SDusit International reasserts its position as one of Asia's leading hospitality groups at the world's largest annual tourism exhibition, ITB Berlin.
At the world's largest tourism fair, taking place during March 5-9, the company debuts its newest addition to the Dusit brand family, Dusit Devarana Hotels and Resorts. The brand is a significant niche offering that leverages Dusit's legendary hospitality and artistic heritage into a highly personalised experience, providing exceptional destinations for the exacting, well-travelled individual.
Dusit Devarana properties are premium hotels to be located in both leisure and urban destinations, providing a sanctuary of cultured refinement for those who seek a balance of tranquility, convenience and excellence. The brand complements the Dusit brand family with its unique perspective on the resort experience, marrying the very best of gracious Thai hospitality and destination appeal.
The first hotel to open its doors under the new brand is Dusit Devarana New Delhi, an exquisite 50-room urban boutique resort nestled between India's capital city and the corporate hub of Gurgaon.
The opening of the resort also signals the first foray of the Dusit chain in the Indian market. Upcoming properties to bear the Dusit Devarana brand name include: Dusit Devarana Baoting Hainan, China (2014); Dusit Devarana Dianchi Lake, Kunming, China (2016) and Dusit Devarana Hot Springs & Spa, Conghua, Guangzhou, China (2015).
The brand expansion news continues for Dusit with an astounding 9 hotels in the pipeline for its 'next generation' dusitD2 brand. Catering to the needs and desires of the millennial traveller, dusitD2 Hotels and Resorts offer a distinctive combination of chic design, forward thinking technology, convenience, comfort and smart service.
dusitD2 was the first of the Dusit brand family to enter the Chinese market with the dusitD2 Fudu Binhu Hotel, Changzhou, which opened its doors in July 2013. 2014 will see Dusit entering two new markets with the exciting additions of dusitD2 Nairobi, Kenya and dusitD2 Constance, Pasadena in California, USA.
"The dusitD2 brand offers a great opportunity for developers who would like to work with us," said Group Director of Development, Rustom Vickers. "With the middle class in emerging countries engaging in more travel and aligning with aspirational brands they feel best represent them, dusitD2 allows us to meet market demand where a traditional Dusit Thani or an überluxurious Dusit Devarana may not be the right fit."
In April 2014, the brand will see another dusitD2 in Thailand, this time on Phuket Island. The dusitD2 Phuket Resort is only steps away from popular Patong Beach, also the island's entertainment and shopping district. Additional dusitD2 Hotels and Resorts are planned for: the Aerocity complex in New Delhi, India; Khao Yai in Thailand; the Gurgaon business district in India; Hongmei in China and Davao in the Philippines.

Although we aren't dealing with the "Jailblazers" fiasco anymore, NBA players seem to have a predisposition to getting in trouble with the law.
While I won't include the many, many DWIs that NBA players get, it's upsetting on a personal note that they can't spend a few thousand dollars a year on drivers and instead insist of endangering the lives of people who adore them.
I don't know about you, but if some drunk ass hit me I wouldn't care if it was DerMarr Johnson.
Anyway these next guys are tough, stupid, or crazy. Maybe a little bit of each. Be it for handgun possession, domestic abuse, or plain old drug usage, these are four guys you don't want to mess with.
Note— Pot usage mostly disqualifies you from this list since as most of us know, potheads don't cause real trouble.

Finally, I found someone who really helped me! Edward Ritter listened to me about my concerns with regard to my bankruptcy and told me that a Chapter 7 would work for me. It did! I cannot say enough nice things about Mr. Ritter. He was always there to answer my questions and ensured me that everything would be alright.
I do not know of Mr. Ritter ever mentioning a Chapter 13 as the previous post has mentioned, as Mr. Ritter does not do Chapter 13 bankruptcies.

Loved working with Ed and his entire staff. They made the stressful parts of my short-sale very un-stressful. Everything was explained at MY level and they never made me feel like just another client. I never was left to wonder what was next or what was going on. I would highly recommend Ed.
Posted by A satisfied client
I've hired Mr. Ritter for two speeding tickets and referred a few friends to him. His staff is always so nice and easy to get in touch with. Everyone I have referred to him has been just as happy as I am with his services and his prices are affordable! I would recommend him to anyone!

I hired Edward Ritter when I was charged with a speeding ticket about a month ago. Because I have already had several speeding tickets in the past, I did not expect to get this ticket dropped so I hired this lawyer to help me get my ticket dropped down to a non-moving traffic violation so that my insurance cost would not go up. I was blown away when I got the results back that my ticket had been dropped completely!!! I ended up paying less for his services than I would have for the ticket alone! I worked with his paralegal who was awesome, she kept me informed through the entire process and didn't waste a minute before getting in touch with me with the results. A few days later I received a letter in the mail from Mr. Ritter himself letting me know that the case had been dismissed and thanking me for choosing him to fight my case. This was a very personable touch that not every attorney would do. I would recommend this paralegal and attorney 100% and if I am ever in trouble with the law again (which hopefully I am not!), I would hire them every time!

Ed and his staff really helped me in a bad time of my life. Thanks for everything, and for those looking for an Attorney that will have their back in making the right choices..this guy is good! I really appreciate the weight lifted off of me and now I can focus on a more positive future. Would have selected Excellent Overall rating but the website was acting up.
Anonymous review posted on
Mr. Ritter and his staff have handled our bankruptcy case for nearly a year. He did not simply fill out the required documents, run a formula to determine a payment, and file papers with the court. Mr. Ritter took the time to understand our complex case, then advised and assisted us in developing a reasonable plan in accordance with the law. His experience with bankruptcy law and the local courts enabled him to "push the envelope" and obtain the best possible outcome for our family.
Mr. Ritter continues to monitor our case, and returns our phone calls or meets with us when we have questions or concerns.
Selecting Mr. Ritter as our attorney was the best first step on our road to financial recovery. Anyone considering bankruptcy should meet with Mr. Ritter to discuss their case before selecting an attorney.

The best! Got a speeding ticket on the highway and Ed Ritter was amazing! He got my ticket dismissed! I am totally happy and would highly recommend the Law Office of Edward A. Ritter. Also great customer service andhe and his staff responded right away when contacted .... Thank you thank you! I have never had any trouble with communication and Ed Ritter's office. All I did was text him and he immediately called me! WOW!!!!
Anonymous review posted on
Hired Ed to make a traffic ticket go away for me, and to his office's credit, the ticket was reduced to a fine. However, I received no communication from his office, even after sending an email and leaving multiple voicemails. Ultimately I had to contact the court on my own to find out how much the fine was, and it was then that I discovered that the payment was late. Fortunately, I was still able to pay it without additional fines, however it is the lawyer's responsibility to relay these details to me. Despite acceptable results, I cannot recommend Ed as a result of his complete lack of timely communication, and failure to respond to my inquiries.
Posted by J.W.
I was referred to Edward Ritter for a consult regarding foreclosure/
short sale legal issues. He was VERY helpful in educating me about
the whole process. He put my mind at ease with his knowledge,
is courteous, and took time to answer all my questions and communicate in layman's terms. I highly recommend him!

Historical Traveler Reviews Orbit Hotel and Hostel Los Angeles
Quite Good. Would stay again
I stayed in a private room facing Melrose. The room itself was well worth the money; spacious, working bathroom and TV, good view of Hollywood(?) Hills and people watching. It even had bunkbeds in there if I wanted to shove in more people. The noise from the street was pretty loud, but I work nights back home so I'm used to it and had earplugs (essential no matter what).
Boogie, the events organizer, was cool and helpful and even single-handedly got me to sign up for the LA city tour, which sounds kind of lame for an independent traveller. But let me tell you, LA is spread out thin and a local driver who takes you to all the sites is quite helpful. Its just a van, so its pretty inconspicuous and the guide (sorry, I forgot his name) was informative and didn't hesitate to answer questions.
The place has a nice TV room as well as a pool playing area and patio. Internet is reasonably priced, but there's cafes along Melrose as well. Lots of maps and recommendations posted everywhere, too. All in all a comfy place to crash. Check out the website (www.orbithotel.com) (I think). The pics there are pretty dead on, for once.
I didn't eat at the kitchen besides muffins and fruit in the morning. Seemed overpriced to me. And the sunday I was there the BBQ only served hamburgers which was no good to me. But that's no big deal.
Good location, near Hollywood (one bus), CBS, Farmer's Market, Melrose shopping district, Sunset Strip. You need a car in LA. I regret not getting one. I'm one of those "I don't need a ride to get there" kind of guys. You need a ride to get there. And back. It was the back home part that killed me in the end. Strange city, if you can call it that. It needs to be seen, though.
The first and third photos are views from my room.
Promised Much, Delivered Less
I stayed in a private room at the banana bungalow in March. The room itself was mostly fine although I didn't appreciate a hostel person coming in to paint the outside of the wardrobe doors one night when my friend was in the room and we were afterwards in danger of touching wet paint or getting it on our clothes. The fact that the TV didn't have many channels available when one worked said the manager had known for a week about the TV problem was unacceptable in my view... there were a lot of mainstream channels with good programs I wanted to watch simply not available! This was the main annoyance. Other aspects of the hostel left something to be desired. Firstly, I had looked up information about their tours on the hostel website and some mentioned there were no longer on. The one to Universal Studios said that you would be picked up at the end of the day at 7pm on the website (when it closes) but for some strange reason they made the pickup at 6pm which was annoying to miss an hour of extra time we could have had there. Not only that but the guy came quite late and then just took off without explanation while we waited in the van and after quite some time came back without an explanation or anything! Then the breakfast.... it was clearly written on our door what was available for breakfast but there didn't seem to be a set time and one day at about 9am the breakfast still hadn't come so I gave up trying. One day they said it wasn't on when I asked even though there was no warning of this. The free BBQ was a great and the other hostel cafe dinners looked good value for money. Quite a good location but if back in LA I would look somewhere else. I have stayed in many hostels and was not that impressed with this one!
Orbit Rocks!
The Orbit is by far the best spot for a Hostel and is such a great place to stay. Thanks for the good times!
Great place, great location, no complaints...
I feel it is my duty to come back to this great site that was very helpful in finding a place to stay in West Hollywood.I went on this trip all by my self and wanted to stay somewhere in a good area which would also be clean and safe...plus I was on a BIG --- tight budget.Orbit surpassed my expectations. This is a great location, especially if you have no car as you are near everything. I took the bus to all the attractions or walked (for bus routes go to www.mta.net).The only thing is I advise you to call one week before you arrive to confirm your reservation, and then again a day or two before. The office staff is very friendly and nice but they change shifts a lot and i dont think they are the most organised individuals. I booked a room 2 weeks in advance and when I got there it was given away as they had me in for a different date (I was angry but they did fix it--although I should have been offered a discount for the trouble and THEIR mistake--you are getting a great deal here so I didnt go into it)I got a private room and you get your own bathroom, with two towels and new soap bar. Tv did not really work well but I was barely in my room to care-- plus there are tvs in the lounge area if you really need to watch television.Breakfast is toast with peanut butter and jams plus theres coffe/tea as well as a vending machine for pop and other snack.Overall I recommend this place for those who wish to stay somewhere convinient and safe as well as cheap ($49 USD per night for a single private room). No maid service but is that really worth an extra $20 or $30 bucks a night? No phones in the room although there are several public phones in the hostel. Also internet service is $1USD per 12minutes....but I recommend going to cyber cafes on Melrose ave (the street you are on) if you need a long time on the net. The place felt like you were living in your own apartment and not a motel or hotel where it can be so unfriendly.They say dinner is $5 dollars and up but it's really not great food....go eat at the farmer's Market which is just a short bus ride down Fairax or just walk it if you want the excersise (about 20 minute walk).I wish you all a great time there--all the best!!! :o)
The Bannana is not at the Gershwin anymore!
the Bannana Bungalow moved to the Gershwin which sucks. But now it is at the Orbit on Melrose which is great!!!!
Want some LA excitment and flavour
Yes, its no palace BUT...I had a great time. The staff were excellent and lots of fun. The long termers are... entertaining. I got a great feel for LA because of the Gershwin. The area is full of excitment and LA flavour. Access to anywhere you want to go! Thanks guys!
Not So Bad
The Banana Bungalows/Hollywood Gershwin were not so bad. Sure, they did not look like what I thought, and this caused some location problems, but everything I needed was there, and the staff (contrary to previous reviews) were reasonably helpful.
For those who like to stay in backpackers, this was a perfectly reasonable place to be. I suspect that after their rennovations are complete, this will be a really cool place to stay.
My only complaint, and it is a minor one, would be that the staff didn't really seem to know how to deal with people who are unnaccustomed to the american way of life. How much do you tip? What sort of price is a standard breakfast? etc etc.
Welcome to Hollywood baby?!
An aboslute dump. We called it the "Winos hostel" as it seemed to be frequented by drunkards all the time.
Mind you, we got a great nights sleep there.
Bizarre spot but at least it gave us something to laugh about.
Do NOT stay here!
I stayed at the Banana Bungalow Hollywood @ the Gershwin West, and it was AWFUL.
Not only was it completely scary (there was a huge FBI operation across the street when we were escaping the godforsaken place -- no kidding), they stole my money.
They forced us to prepay for 5 nights, and then there was no hot water (barely any running water) in our room. They acted like there wasn't any problem and wouldn't help us, and then when we wanted to leave, they pointed to a sign that said "NO REFUNDS."
We are STILL trying to get our money back from them. Do NOT stay at this place. It's uncomfortable, frightening, the employees are rude, and they have no problem stealing money from poor college kids.
They moved
I had booked with my travel agent to stay at Banana Bungalow, a few months in advance.
When I arrived in LA the place I was taken to was not what I had booked!!! it was an old building in a terrible part of Town.
The great taxi Driver took to to where Banana Bungalow used to be.
There is still a hostel there, its called HOLLYWOOD BUNGALOWS, the Guys there were great they did a lot to help my rough start in LA get better, the place is being renovated and I HIGHLY recomend it to all travelers.

Iraq: Call to expose Newroztel corruption contracts, company
Iraq: Call to expose Newroztel corruption
contracts, company
September 5, 2012
BAGHDAD/ERBIL,— Newroztel Company
threatened to suit anyone who tries to defame it is
reputation, calling to expose any corruption in it
is contract with the ministry of communications
connected with internet cable.
In a statement, copy received by Aswat al-Iraq, the
company added it "will not keep silent on such
charges", calling some MPs to expose their proofs of
corruption in the contract signed with the
communications ministry, otherwise, it will pursue
them legally as well as by the media.
A number of State of Law bloc held Monday a press
conference, who stated that this project will make
Iraq occupy a strategic position between east side
of earth and Europe and America,www.ekurd.net
as well as it is economic gains, while others warned
against stealing Iraqi information.
Internet Cable through Iraq
new international spy
Ahrar bloc MP Mohammed Redha al-Khafaji said Friday
that the passage of the internet cable coming from
Europe to Iraq is "an international spy that will
violate Iraqi security."
In a statement on August 31, he added that the
contract signed by the Ministry of Communications
with Newroztel, upon the approval of Iraqi national
internet company, will result in Iraq being the
country the cable passes through, and not Iran, due
to US rejection of it is passing through Iran.
He pointed out that Premier Nouri al-Maliki
cancelled this contract.
US intelligence reports disclosed fears that Iran
has some sophisticated systems that can penetrate
the cable system, thus bugging the telephone calls
and electronic letters; as a result they suggested
it should pass through Iraq.
"Though it has economic gains as a transit country,
but has, also, security apprehensions", he warned.
He described the cable as "the new international spy
that can control all phone calls and electronic
letter of the country."

Publics of key NATO member nations blame Russia for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but few support sending arms to Ukraine. And half of Russians see NATO as a military threat, while Ukrainians favor joining NATO.
Record Support for Same-Sex Marriage
Public support for allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally continues its rapid rise: A 57% majority of Americans now favor allowing same-sex marriage, up from 42% just five years ago.
Public Views of Immigration
There is broad public support for a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. But other opinions on immigration, including views of legal immigration, are more mixed.
Faith in European Project Reviving
Favorable views of the European Union and faith in the efficacy of the euro are generally rebounding in major EU member states. Nonetheless, most say the rise of Eurosceptic political parties is a good thing.
Millennials and Political News
Where do Millennials, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers get their news about politics and government? Our new study explores which sources they are familiar with, turn to, trust and distrust.
Public Continues to Back U.S. Drone Attacks
Americans continue to support U.S. drone strikes targeting extremists in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, despite ongoing concerns that drone attacks endanger lives of innocent civilians.
Trade Agreements Seen as Good for U.S., But Concerns Persist
Majorities across income categories say free trade deals have been a positive thing for the U.S., but there are much wider income differences in opinions about the personal impact of these agreements.
Negative Views of New Congress Cross Party Lines
The new Republican-led Congress is drawing harsh reviews from the public. Just 23% of Americans say congressional Republicans are keeping the promises they made during last fall's campaign.
Family Support in Graying Societies
America is turning gray, with the share of people ages 65 and older expected to rise more than 50% by 2050 – a trend that may burden more families. But Germany and Italy are already there, with a fifth of their population in that age range.

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!! Dont let the ingredients fool you! WOW! It was super moist and just plain good! Thanks for the new recipe!
Made this tonite and it was soooo easy. The texture is wonderful, a little heavy, almost a brownie like texture. It is not overly chocolatey or sweet, which was perfect with the buttercream frosting I used. I did not have a square pan, so I used a 9" round pan and it took 30 minutes. Very good recipe for a quick, snack cake! Thanks :) P.S. I am posting a picture which I am sure will not do it justice, but you can still see it looks pretty tasty.
My Mom used to make this cake for my family while growing up and all 6 of us loved it !!! She called it the 3-Hole cake or Poor Man's cake since it does not take eggs or milk. I now make it for my family and have the same results - they love it. I especially like it because it is not as sweet as other chocolate cakes and its extremely moist. Another excellent feature in the prep time is short and clean-up is a snap since you only use the pan to prepare and bake the batter.

What is a Teacher Portfolio and Why is it Important?
A teacher portfolio serves as a collection or record of your professional background and experience as a teacher and documents what you believe about language learning and teaching and how you teach. Items often found in a portfolio include a statement of your philosophy of teaching, your curriculum vitae, examples of materials, activities, or lesson plans you have developed, video clips of your classroom teaching, samples of student, peer, or administrative evaluations of your teaching, and so on. Increasingly, employers are asking for various portfolio elements before, during, and after the interview/hiring process. By putting together an organized, cohesive, reflective, and ever-growing portfolio, you better prepare yourself to show who you are as a teacher and what you offer to a potential employer and to make a good impression.
During our 7-part TiPPS workshop series, we cover some of the basics toward conducting a job/information search, preparing necessary job application materials (effective CVs and cover letters), and gathering examples of you as a teacher (teaching philosophy statement, activities/materials), so you can put your best foot forward for that fateful interview. We cannot possibly cover everything, however, and that is why we include a lot of resources for TiPPS participants or the casual web surfer for further reference. We encourage you to make good use of them and send us any suggestions for additions. Aloha!

The websites that follow were found via an internet search and are designed for you to review and learn from (we're not saying that any of them are exemplary — nor are we saying that they are not exemplary). As you look at some of these portfolios, here are a few things to look for:
- Do you get a clear idea about this person as a teacher? Are there sufficient and varied documents/examples to give you a fairly full picture?
- Do you get a clear idea about what the teacher believes about learning and teaching and how they carry it out in the classroom?
- Do aspects of teaching that are not included feel like they were omitted as a result of informed choices or as a result of a careless oversight that you feel should be rectified?

The Flyers were just getting some momentum going, with a convincing win at New Jersey and a gritty shootout loss at Montreal on their recent resume.

Marta Urban has held a fascination with art and hand lettering from an early age and worked as a commercial artist while in high school. Although she did not pursue art in college, she knew that her interest in art would continue to grow and evolve.
In the early 1980s, during a familiar trip to the local art museum, she saw her first fraktur and it lit the desire within her to learn more about illuminated documents. Ending a career in social services to raise her family, Urban found she could devote more time to the art form that expresses her love of lettering, folk art, and early Pennsylvania history.
Being a self-taught artist, her research led her to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the heart of "Pennsylvania Dutch" country. Her appreciation of the art form and desire to create authentic folk art led her to the methods used for originals made from 1750 to 1850. She first chooses traditional verses, which inspire the layout and design. She has been creating fraktur since 1987, doing all the work by hand, one at a time. She preserves each piece in museum-quality framing.
A lifelong resident of western Pennsylvania, Urban lives with her husband and sons in a rural farmhouse and sells her work at historical art fairs and folk art shows. Custom orders account for a large number of her one-of-a-kind pieces. Her fraktur can be found at several galleries and select shops.
