JERUSALEM, Israel - On Sunday, the Shin Bet disclosed details of a Hamas plot to kidnap more Israeli soldiers.
Gaza-based Hamas terrorists recruited, trained and financed Jamal Abu Duabeh, 21, to lure IDF soldiers to the border, where he would anesthetize them and transport them into Egypt by jeep.
From there, he and an accomplice would use one of the smuggling tunnels to take the soldier into Gaza.
The men were to take advantage of the tadhiyeh with Israel to carry out the abduction.
The Shin Bet reported that Abu Duabeh had been arrested in the past for illegal entry into Israel.
In a separate incident, an Israeli park ranger managed to thwart 20-year-old Arab from stabbing him Sunday morning.
Pini Birenbaum, a ranger with the Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, was making his rounds on the Jerusalem Trail in the Yad Avshalom neighborhood near the Mount of Olives when the young Arab approached him.
"I saw him coming toward me and at first I didn't think anything of it," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But as he got closer, I could see he was hiding something in his right hand. It looked to me like some kind of a tool or even a knife," he said.
"He walked right up to me and tried to stab me in the abdomen," the ranger said. "It all happened so fast. If I hadn't been paying attention or if I had acted more slowly, God forbid, you might not be interviewing me right now," he said.
Birenbaum was able to avert the knife, draw his handgun and hold the attacker until police and border patrol officers arrived five minutes later.
While the ranger acknowledged that the attempted stabbing was part of an increasing trend, he said people should not be afraid.
"I see what's going on and I want to tell Israelis and tourists from all over the world not to be afraid," Birenbaum said.
"You are all invited to come to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, and experience an important part of our history here. We have a first-rate police force that is watching out for us, and good, everyday people who make this a safer place," he said.
"The point is to not be afraid and to keep enjoying Jerusalem," Birenbaum said.

Typhoon hits Japan as Fukushima operator releases water into sea
Agence France-Presse September 16, 2013 07:46
Typhoon Man-yi hit Japan Monday, leaving three people dead and forcing the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant to release rainwater with low levels of radiation into the ocean.
The powerful typhoon made landfall in Toyohashi, Aichi prefecture, shortly before 8:00 am (2300 GMT Sunday), packing gusts of up to 162 kilometres (100 miles) per hour, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
Public broadcaster NHK said a 71-year-old woman was found dead as a landslide engulfed her house in Shiga prefecture, while a 77-year-old woman was also confirmed dead in a separate mudslide in Fukui prefecture, near Shiga.

Product Review (submitted on February 11, 2014):
The tea made with matcha jobetsugi is definitely a pleasant, yet muted experience. It is smooth and brisk with pleasing, but faint artichoke notes. Since I prefer a more full-bodied, highly vegetal cup of matcha tea, I will be trying the senjunomukashi.

4. Never hire a contractor without checking his references and credentials. These references may be able to tell you whether they were satisfied with their work or not. Beware if the contractor provides credentials or references that cannot be verified.
5. Never pay a contractor up front. Remember a good contractor will never ask you money in advance. However if the contractor can not afford the cost of repair supplies or materials then you can purchase the materials yourself and deliver it to him.
6. Make a written contract that completely binds you and the contractor.
7. Ask questions about his business history, who will be at the site to supervise the work, the guarantees that he can provide, price estimates, their work routine and the time frame needed for the completion of the repair work.
8. Finally ensure that the contractor is duly licensed and insured. Check whether he has at least two years of experience in the field of mobile home repair and maintenance.
With the above discussed mobile home repair tips you can definitely hire a reliable and honest mobile home contractor with adequate experience and get your mobile home repaired the way you dreamt of.

Is the best neurologist that we have ever been to. I recommend him highly and have sent many people to him. I believe that he is the best girl just in Fairfield County.
Dr. McAllister is one of the nicest, best doctors I have ever seen. I have been going to him for years. He truly cares about his patients and I would recommend him to anyone.
He is the most understanding, helpful doctor I have ever met ..the best
Excellent service - completely warm and inviting atmosphere, clean, professional and I left understanding my condition and feeling hopeful. Completely different than any other medical doctor experience I have ever had in my 44 years - 12 of which I have had a neurological condition. Highly recommend!
Had to share what my 12 year old son said today after his visit to see Dr. McAllister: Just had to share what Ben said to me on the way home after the visit today. "WOW. JUST WOW! That place is awesome. Did you see they have a spa room. A acupuncture room. A food room. It was so nice in there. The people were so funny. You know, I think I might study Neurology just so I could work there some day!!!" Thanks Dr M & Caryn for a great experience for him. Wish all doctor visits were that positive.
My experience with Dr. McAlister has been a bonding for over ten years he has been the most considerate and has gone above with helping me not only with my treatments he has called me to help me even when away from his office I truly cannot describe his kindness and genuine compassion. I highly recommend him he is a 10
This Doctor changed my life. He was the first neurologist out of 4 and in a period of 9 years to not only figure out what was going on, but to put me at ease and suggest a treatment that reduced my chronic migraines by 75%! He is also very kind and truly interested in his patients as individuals.
First of all the Stamford office is beautiful. Reminds me of a trendy Manhattan hotel lobby! When I got there I was immediately greeted and offered coffee and water. The woman at the front desk was sooo friendly I felt very much at ease. Then I had my appointment with Dr. McAllister. He's smart, and caring but mainly just really ... nice. It felt easy talking to him about complicated, difficult stuff, and his ideas and plan were different than any doctor I've ever been to. I just saw him a few days ago but already I feel on now on the right path. Very happy I went!
After seeking help with chronic migraines, I ended up on a 13 year journey with Dr. McAllister, who guided me through dealing with and treating multiple neurological issues. Eventually, Dr. McAllister was instrumental in diagnosing my incredibly rare autoimmune condition. Not only was his medical expertise incredible, the human support I rcvd gave me the strength to handle all that I went through. I am forever grateful to have stumbled upon not only one of the best doctors, but the finest human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
I have been with Dr.Mcallister for for decades,,,he was the only doctor who was able to keep my migrain and muscle pain at bay..I cannot speak more highly of this doctor,who takes the time to listen and REALLY CARE,about what is going on with my pain.He is an amazing doctor who really cares for his patients. he is one of a handful of doctors left in this modern day of living that CARES.for that I thank you you Dr.Mcallister
A exceptional skilled and caring doctor.
I Have beenseeing him for17 yrs now and he will greatly b missed. U wish he didn't move to Stamford I don't drive because of my epilepsy so I probably got to get a new neurologist I'm not too happy..he did have me seizures go from about 50 a week down to 5 a month..he will b missed
I have been a patient of Dr. Mcallister for over 10 years. He is very attentive to my conditions and has guided me through these years. I feel very comfortable with all his recommendations and would highly recommend him to everyone.
Dr Mcallister is the best doctor in the world. I have suffered migraines for 40 years and he has helped me control my migraines. I would highly recommend Dr Mcallister to any one. He has the best Bedside Manner of any doctor that I have ever seen in my lifetime. He is truly the BEST!!!!!! He is truly a 10 star doctor!
Dr. McAllister has been treating me since my initial diagnosis with MS almost 13 years ago. Even though I have moved about an hour away, he will always remain my neurologist. He takes the time to listen to me, he is kind and caring and together we figure out what the next step in my care will be. I have never met a doctor who is more invested in his patients. He is what every doctor should be.
I met Dr Mcallister a few years ago with numbness It took a while but he never gave up He is the kindest Dr I have ever met he talks to you remembers things that you have spoken about with him medical and personal I am his tweet because of my age with ms he's always there for me even though its hard to get a appointment
Dr. Mac as I call him is the most caring and genuine Dr. I have known. I have been seeing him for 15 years & will not see anyone else. He takes the time to listen to me & is always open to alternative options & doesn't just reach for the prescription pad. At the large office it could be an issue getting an appt. with him - but usually a call to him got the problem solved.
I have been a patient of the doctor for several years, and as someone who has seen numerous neuroligists for chronic migraine headaches, I can share that he is among the very best. He is very easy to talk to, concerned about your health and welfare (beyond just neurology) and is thorough in exploring options so that you are comfortable.
We all go together to see Dr. McAllister - My mom (neuropathy and a small stroke), my daughter (migraines and fibro) and me (MS and headaches). He makes it fun and is very helpful. Warm is a good word for Dr. M.
My 12 year old daughter had severe daily headaches for 6 months. We went to many different doctors in CT and NY. Finally my pediatrician called Dr. Mcallister and (despite being very, very booked), he saw us the next day. Boy are we ever happy! He spent a lot of time with us, and put my daughter (who is shy) totally at ease. He then did some tests that no one else considered and diagnosed her with something called pseudotumor. With medicines, diet some other things he recommended my daughter's headaches are gone and she's back in school. A total gem!
Best Doctor Experience Ever.
Calm, smart, caring. Funny too. I like not just him but the whole staff - from therapists, counselors, nurses, to the technicians. A very comprehensive center. AND, Dr Mcallister was the only doctor would diagnosed and fixed my problem
Having been to several neurologists for treatment of headaches, Dr. McAllister is top notch, caring and knowledgable. However, he is difficult to get an appointment with, and I have had several appointments cancelled on me, having to then wait two to three months for the next available, which is quite frustrating when in pain. The phone system is difficult to navigate and messages are not readily returned.
He is a bright man with a caring bedside manner!! Recommeded highly trhrew others!!
Came a long way to see Dr. M. I was NOT disappointed! He diagnosed my problem on the spot (cervical dystonia), spent lots of time explaining the condition and then treated me right then and there. Within a week I was feeling great! He was the fourth doctor I went to for this ailment and Dr. M. took unbelievable care of me. He's SO calm and reassuring that you just trust him.
Dr. McAllister is a smart and caring physician. He has a calm and confident bedside manner and is the first Dr. that our daughter has seen that gave her confidence that she could get better from debilitating migrane and stomach pain. The fact that he is heavily booked "goes with the territory" as this is the norm with the best docs. Highly recommended.
Best doctor experience I have ever had.
Extremely competent as well as having a great bedside manner. Only doctor I've met to date, that's focused on finding a "cure" vs treating the symptoms. I've already referred others to this doctor and will continue to do so in the future. I don't generally give "excellent" reviews, but so far my experience has been just that: EXCELLENT.
fantastic headache specialist, very caring. treats adults and kids with respect. My family and I couldn't be happier with Dr. McAllister.
Dr. McAllister is an excellent physician - he is sharp, smart, caring and a very decent human being. He is an excellent diagnostician and treats his patient as a person - not a diagnosis.

Critics review Tarantino's 'Inlgourious Basterds'
Reactions are in from the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's long-brewing flick "Inglourious Basterds" at Cannes, with most critics expressing disappointment in what many hoped would be the director's magnum opus.
The film, described by movie writers as a first in the "spaghetti war" genre, stars Brad Pitt as leading Basterd, Lieutenant Aldo Raine, and Christoph Waltz as evil SS officer Landa. The film is set between France and Germany, with languages from those countries, plus English, spoken throughout with subtitles.
Most reviews refer to the movie's final line, "This might be my masterpiece," which could easily be interpreted as Tarantino's own self-congratulation; however, according to several early reviews, "Inglourious Basterds" misses this high mark due to its heavy dialogue, expectation of more war sequences, Pitt's caricatured character and disagreement on pace. Positives include rave response to Waltz, Tarantino's mix of history and fiction and the director's typical inclusion of wit and humor in even the most gruesome scenes.
Below is a summary of many outlets' reviews from the screening. Check out our photo gallery from the premiere, with shots of Tarantino, Pitt and beyond, for more "Inglorious" coverage.
The Hollywood Reporter:
"'Inglourious Basterds'
 merely continues the string of disappointments in this year's Competition... for a war movie there is very little action... Tarantino never finds a way to introduce his vivid sense of pulp fiction within the context of a war movie."
The Guardian:
"[T]he full catastrophe of his new film arrived like some colossal armour-plated turkey from hell... It isn't funny; it isn't exciting; it isn't a realistic war movie, yet neither is it an entertaining genre spoof or a clever counterfactual wartime yarn. It isn't emotionally involving or deliciously ironic or a brilliant tissue of trash-pop references."
Sharon Waxman of The Wrap:
"[I]t was hard to miss Tarantino's skilled embrace of the elements that make theatrical moviegoing just plain great: scenes filled with dramatic tension, performances with depth and humor, rich and witty scoring choices, multi-lingual dialogue that Tarantino still stamps as his own, and knowing nods at cinematic history and the power of the medium he loves so well... As Brad Pitt says in the very last frame of the film, looking straight into the camera after a gruesome, signature task: 'This might be my masterpiece.'"
Indie Wire:
"[The flim] feels like a bubblegum sidedish to the heavy dinner plate of [Tarantino's] career... To watch 'Basterds' without considering Tarantino's implementation of enyclopedic movie knowledge makes it into a breezy, insignificant experience... dialogue scenes go on and on, people gets shot, lavish music cues make way for interstitial moments of contemplation, and so on. Get around to it, already."
"[O]nly fully finds its tonal footing about halfway through, after which it's off to the race. By turns surprising, nutty, windy, audacious and a bit caught up in its own cleverness, the picture is a completely distinctive piece of American pop art with a strong Euro flavor that's new for the director... pic features terrific production values across the boards."
BBC News:
"'Inglourious Basterds' clocks in at nearly three hours, and its director could certainly have trimmed more of its flab. This, and Pitt's character not getting the screen time he deserves, are the main disappointments... [Tarantino] is royalty at this festival - and as long as you can suspend disbelief and offence, he remains the king of trashy cinema."
The Telegraph:
"The problem is that there's not enough roaring or headhunting... There is far too much yakking, some of it thickly accented and hard to follow, most of it without the rhythmic zing of his best work... It's not so much inglorious as undistinguished."
Boston Globe:
"It's as talky as the talkiest films in the competition, but Tarantino composes great comedic dialogue that lasts the entire film... Tarantino never cuts totally loose... [Tarantino's] working with a large canvas here, and I think the scope of a war film doesn't entirely jibe with the kind of intimate violence he's so good at staging but never bothers with here... Even at 160 minutes, the film feels rushed."
Daily Mail:
"Vintage Tarantino to be sure, but a little more action would have been glorious... Not enough scalps."

What Is PSY Eating in the 'Gentleman' Video?
This weekend, Korean pop star PSY released the video for "Gentleman," his newest single after last year's wildly popular "Gangnam Style." He dances, he pulls a lot of mean pranks on scantily clad women, and he wears a lot of drop-crotch pants, but as far as we're concerned, the most important part of "Gentleman" is the food.
The music video has racked up over 62 million hits (as of press time) in just two days, but most viewers outside of Korea are probably a little confused by what's going on in that restaurant scene. What's on that tin-foil tray? And what's with that weird white stuff he wraps around his neck? And are they eating in a tent?
Yes, they're eating in a tent, but not just any tent: it's a
pojangmacha, or pocha for short, and the late-night streets of Seoul are packed with them. The name literally means "tented wagon," and they're something like a dive bar combined with a street food stall, serving up hearty, spicy, salty food to go with bottles (emphatically plural) of soju and beer. Pojangmacha are so popular that even indoor watering holes have started calling themselves "pojangmacha" just to capture the casual vibe, but purists insist that you have to be in an actual tent on the street for it to count.
A humble pojangmacha in Seoul (Credit: Synapticism)
So that's the setting–and the pojangmacha in the PSY video seems to be a generic set, according to our Seoul-based informants, rather than any specific spot–but how about the food? That little tin-foil tray seems to be filled with ddeokbokki, the combination of rice cake, meat, eggs, and a spicy kimchi sauce, and PSY is chowing down on a bowl of ramyeon, the Korean version of the Chinese lamian, or hand-pulled noodles.
Which gets to that weird lumpy rope that PSY wraps around his neck before chomping into. It's not (thank god) some giant, raw weisswurst–it's just the noodles in un-pulled form, waiting to be stretched out into something a little more manageable. It's hard to say what, exactly, PSY's companion is eating, but it looks a lot like a fish cake on a stick, a popular pocha snack.
And if you want to get into specifics with the booze, the beer is Dry Finish D, one of the most popular varieties made by the giant Korean brewery Hite (pronounced like "height"), and the soju is Jinro's Chamisul (literally: "real dew"). PSY has an endorsement deal with Jinro (also owned by Hite), which is also the top-selling alcohol brand in the world. Which is only surprising if you've never been to a pojangmacha, and seen how many bottles of soju the average Seoulite can suck down.
Soju Wanna Drink Like a North Korean?

Boxes of school supplies covered tables Monday evening in Central Church of Christ's Sneed Hall as members from four downtown churches sorted items for four local elementary schools during 4Amarillo's second annual packing party.
"I just love doing this kind of stuff," said Connie Crawford, member of Central Church of Christ. "Last year I helped just pack, but I like to organize things, so I offered to head up the organizing part."
Crawford said she created a system to easily track and pack supplies.
"I just kind of came up with a system," she said. "I had people that helped put the supplies out, and I have people at each table counting to help with the process."
This year, Central Church of Christ helped lead the back to school supply drive project.
"They did a wonderful job on leading this project," said Reed Redus, associate pastor of First Baptist Church Amarillo who coordinated the gathering of supplies at his church. "It's been a blessing to just put out the need, and watch the response we had from our members."
Over the past few weeks, Central Church of Christ, First Baptist Church Amarillo, First Presbyterian Church and Polk Street United Methodist Church have all been collecting school supplies.
"This year for the 4Amarillo project, what we did is, we listened more to the teachers," said the Rev. Dr. Burt Palmer, senior pastor of Polk Street United Methodist Church. "So we modified our list, and had more conversations with the teachers to find out what exactly they need the most of."
Some of the most
in-demand supplies this year were glue sticks and hand sanitizer.
"After talking with many teachers and counselors, what we found out is glue sticks, hand sanitizer, Kleenex and Expo markers are what they quickly run out of, so we increased that amount this year," Crawford said.
In addition to the requested items, about 116 teachers from Margaret Wills, Bivins, San Jacinto and Sunrise elementary schools will receive supplies such as binders, folders, pencil bags, safety scissors, and other materials from the 4Amarillo churches.
Another change made this year is how the supplies are divided and distributed.
"This year, we're dividing the supplies based on the need of the students and the number of teachers at each school," Crawford said.
Although the supplies list was modified, the spirit behind the gesture remains the same, Palmer said.
"It's the spirit behind it, of saying to the teachers that we value you, and we give thanks to God for what you are doing," Palmer said. "Here's ways we can express it in a tangible way, and let them know that we support your work as a teacher."
Redus said he has personal knowledge of the challenges teachers face throughout the school year.
"My wife is a teacher, and a lot of people that I know are teachers," Redus said. "And inevitably, they end up reaching into their own pockets to take care of their students. The teachers, they really do take care of their kids. This supply drive specifically is for the teachers, and hopefully it will be a blessing to them."
The supplies will be delivered to each of the schools starting at 9 a.m. today, according to Allan Stanglin, preaching minister at Central Church of Christ.
In addition to dropping off the school supplies, each church will also cater a meal for its assigned school.
"It's been just a blessing to be able to work with these other guys and their congregations," Redus said. "They're all wonderful people, and it's been an incredible year for all of us."

Good news, Arkham Origins players! Warner Bros. has recognized that the new Batman: Arkham Origins is full of awful bugs, and they are quite sorry for all the distress these issues have caused. The company apologized today for "any inconvenience" and promised a patch to fix at least some of the issues.
In a public statement, the company said, "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you all for your patience as we work to resolve the issues."
Some of the problems slated to be fixed? That one bug that removes the "Continue" option from the main menu (How the heck?), meaning players cannot progress their game at all. A bug that sends Batman flying out of the world endlessly will also be fixed soon.
Another common problem being looked at is the rampant freezing, though only the Xbox 360 version is confirmed for a fix right now.
Here is the full statement, along with a list of major bugs that will be addressed in the upcoming patch:
We'd like to sincerely thank everyone who has joined us since the launch of the game. We appreciate the fan support and also want to thank all the people in the field who have sent us their saved games as they have been invaluable in helping us identify the problems.
It has come to our attention that there are issues that are negatively impacting the experience for some players. The team has been working around the clock to review, validate and pinpoint the problems that have been reported and we have identified three main issues which we are tackling first, and are listed below. For these issues, we expect the software update to be available within the next week. Rest assured, we are continuing to monitor all channels for other issues that players are experiencing and will release additional updates as they become available.
1) Infinite Falling/Falling Out Of World – All platforms
Some players have been stuck in an endless loop of falling, making it impossible to complete certain missions and progress through the single-player campaign. We believe we have identified the issue and are currently testing the software update, which will push most players back to their previous save so that they will not be stuck in an infinite loop.
2) Unable To Continue Story – All Platforms
Some players can see their story progress in the main menu, but once they choose the story slot they don't see an option to "Continue" and only "New Game" shows up. This issue should be resolved and the "Continue" option will once again be available.
3) FreeFlow Focus mode not unlocking upon reaching "Shadow Vigilante" rank 3 will be fixed – All Platforms
Specific to the PC, an update that addresses the above issues, as well as the following, recently went live.
1) Fix for progression blocker keeping some players from navigating through the vent in the Burnley tower.
We have not yet solved the following rare issues and are continuing to investigate.
1) Corrupted Saves – Xbox 360 only
Players have reported losing their saved game to data corruption. Specifically, when you try to choose a story slot to continue, it says "Corrupted" and if you select it, an error message appears which says, "The save is corrupt. Please delete it." We believe we know what is causing this and need a few more days to validate before pushing a patch through.
2) Ongoing Crashing/Freezing Issues – Xbox 360 only
Players have reported recurring crashing and freezing while playing the game. We have been working hard to track down and resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We believe we know what is causing these issues and need a few more days to validate before pushing this patch through. In the meantime, some players have managed to avoid the freezing by disconnecting their console from the Internet while playing.
NOTE: Your console or PC must be connected to the Internet in order to receive any updates. When connected, the updates will be automatically applied when you start up the game while connected to PlayStation Network, Xbox Live or Steam.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you all for your patience as we work to resolve the issues.
Hopefully, none of you have had to suffer all these bugs. Sounds like a pretty horrendous experience.
Batman: Arkham Origins was released to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on October 25.

|Environmental Aspects
No significant environmental impacts are expected. Impacts can be mitigated through proper siting, design and good construction practices. These are identified in the subproject-specific initial environmental examinations (IEEs) and environmental monitoring plans (EMPs), which are prepared in accordance with ADB s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). A project management unit and a project management consultant are responsible for the coordination and implementation of the environmental and health and safety activities. Quarterly environmental monitoring reports are prepared. Key environmental benefits include improved on-site and off-site hygiene and sanitary conditions at tourist destinations and increased environmental awareness.
|Involuntary Resettlement
Subprojects are not expected to result in any physical or economic displacement due to involuntary acquisition of land, or involuntary restrictions on land use. In case of future unforeseen resettlement issues, the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) will be followed and a resettlement framework has been prepared.
|Indigenous Peoples
The initial screening concluded that no indigenous peoples issues are anticipated, as defined in the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). An indigenous peoples planning framework has been prepared for future loans, in case the indigenous peoples framework would be triggered.
|During Project Design
|During Project Implementation
Outreach and consultation is an ongoing process during implementation.
|As part of the Investment Program, the Project aims to complete subprojects under four or five different components of the Investment Program in the State of Himachal Pradeesh (Part A). A. Component 1: Urban Infrastructure and Service Improvement B. Component 2: Connectivity Improvement C. Component 3: Quality Enhancement of Natural and Cultural Attractions D. Component 4: Community-based Activities E. Component 5: Capacity Development, Community Participation and Project Management
|The investment program will assist the government in achieving its targets by tapping the tourism sector's potential to contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth. It will respond to the urgent need for developing tourism-related infrastructure in the four participating states - Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand (the three main states of the North West Himalayan Heritage Circuit), and Tamil Nadu (the anchor state of the South Heritage Circuit) - to promote the economic potential of the tourism sector within a planned framework and address weaknesses in management capacity. These four states voluntarily sought to participate in the implementation of the road map, and the government supported their participation. The government prepared a more specific road map along with a framework for necessary policy and sector reforms for each of the four states under follow-up ADB assistance, and proposed the MFF modality to support the government's medium- and long-term goals. While infrastructure supporting tourism is being put in place, sector reform must be carried out in parallel to attain the goals of more sustainable and inclusive tourism sector development. Key challenges include existing limitations in (i) public sector financing, (ii) sector policies on , and institutional capacities for, heritage site management; (iii) an effective enabling environment for enhanced private sector participation; (iv) operation and maintenance of tourism infrastructure; and (v) effective mechanisms to engage local communities in the tourism value chain. The investment program includes a number of policy-driven sector reforms. The participating states are committed to making investments in the tourism sector more attractive for private sector participation. They will also propmote homestay programs and other noncommercial or semicommercial lodging alternatives, such as bed and breakfast facilities. Each state will develop a tourism policy to mainstream (i) balanced distribution of economic opportunities across the state through the promotion of community-based, tourism-related economic and livelihood activities, and ecotourism development; (ii) financial sustainability of tourism destinations and their heritage assets, and connectivity infrastructure, and (iii) policy and regulatory reforms to provide for adaptive reuse of publicly owned heritage buildings so that additional means of cost recovery are established. The MFF modality is considered suitable for the proposed intervention because developing the capacities of the sector agencies as facilitators and regulators of tourism development will be a gradual process requiring longer-term commitments.
|Enhanced contribution of the tourism sector to sustainable and inclusive economic growth
|Description of Outcome
Increased volume of domestic and international tourists to destinations within each participating state
|Progress Towards Outcome
Actions towards achieving the outcome are underway as explained further in the status of implementation progress of outputs below.

The Boston Red Sox play in a tough division. The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are great teams, and if the Sox are to make it back to the postseason, they are going to need some great performances.
Every year, every team has a player who surpasses all expectations. They might be good players who have regressed but have a resurgent season. They might be utility guys who win a starting job.
Here are the 10 Red Sox who could overachieve in 2012 and perform better than anyone expected.

Real-life inspirations for characters on 'The Wire' and 'The Corner' to wed
Loyal viewers of "The Wire" aren't accustomed to happy endings. But sometimes life is more sentimental than art.
The inspiration for a character in "The Wire," David Simon's HBO series about crime and social ills in Baltimore, is getting married on Aug. 11. His bride: the real-life protagonist of "The Corner," Simon and Ed Burns' nonfiction book and HBO miniseries about a family's struggles with drug addiction.
Donnie Andrews, 53, and Fran Boyd, 50, are survivors of the violent and drug-plagued West Baltimore streets, and their union is more than just a love match. It speaks to their shared commitment to helping young people to get out of gangs and escape the cycle of addiction.
"A lot of people get out of 'the life,"' said the Rev. Frank M. Reid III, pastor of Bethel AME Church, who will marry the couple. "The thing about Donnie and Fran is, not only are they out, they've gone back and made it their life's mission to help other people get out."
Andrews works as an anti-gang outreach coordinator for the church, and Boyd works with a local hospital's HIV prevention program and tries to usher addicts into rehab.
"To see that a convicted murderer and a dope fiend could turn their lives around and help others means that some of the people that the social system wants us to write off might have the answers to the problems that face us," Reid said.
Andrews' exploits robbing drug dealers in the 1980s provided the basis for Omar Little, the soulful stickup man on "The Wire." The practice was lucrative for Andrews before he agreed to kill one drug dealer on behalf of another - in part to finance his own drug habit.
Wracked by guilt, he confessed the slaying to Burns, a homicide detective who later became Simon's writing partner. Andrews was sentenced to life in prison in 1987.
Had he not come forward, the murder may never have been solved.
"They did not have evidence on Donnie before Donnie decided to confess and cooperate," Simon said. "He knew he would have to go to prison, and he wanted to start over with his life."
Andrews was placed in a witness security program and provided crucial testimony against two West Baltimore drug kingpins who became the basis for Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell on "The Wire," said Charles P. Scheeler, the former federal prosecutor who won Andrews' conviction.
Scheeler later advocated for Andrews to be paroled.
"I have never done that for anyone except him, and I'm confident I never will," Scheeler said. "Of the dozens of people I've prosecuted who've cooperated for the government, he was the one person who did it as an act of conscience."
Meanwhile, Boyd was wasting away, her body and mind ravaged by heroin. "The Corner" chronicled her family's struggles with drugs - her ex-husband was an addict, and her son started dealing at 15. As they researched the book, Burns and Simon pledged not to interfere in the lives of their subjects. But that changed once the book was finished, in 1994. Burns suggested that Andrews, still in prison and counseling drug addicts there, give Boyd a call.
Boyd was skeptical that Andrews could make a difference in her life. "I was using at the time," she said. "I was in my own world."
But she quickly found herself opening up to him. "Our first conversation lasted over four-and-a-half hours," Andrews said. "We talked like we had known each other for years."
Andrews pledged to call her at 4 p.m. the next day. The daily calls continued. In September 1995 - after 17 years of heroin abuse - Boyd entered rehab and got clean for good.
"After talking to him and seeing where he came from and seeing how he changed, it just made me realize that I could do the same thing," Boyd said.
Andrews and Boyd spoke almost daily for two years before they even saw each other's photos.
"At that point, I didn't care about what she looked like. Then again, I did care," Andrews said. "She was going to be my friend for life, or my wife for life. Well, she's still both."
Boyd also fell in love with the voice on the telephone.
"I tried not to show it, because I didn't want to be one of those women sitting at home waiting for someone who's never coming home," she said. "I tried to get into relationships with other people, and it didn't work."
Regardless, Andrews kept calling. Boyd joined Simon, Burns and Scheeler in the fight to secure his release, writing letters to judges about how she'd been able to turn her life around and raise her nephew and grandson with his help.
Andrews was released in 2005 when a judge commuted his sentence to time served. He and Boyd now live in a Baltimore suburb with Boyd's 15-year-old nephew, whom she adopted when he was a year old, and her nieces, ages 13 and 11, of whom she has full custody.
"She's a rock," Simon said. "There (aren't) enough words I can say about what I've seen her do in the last 14 years. I'm not as strong as Fran by a long shot. I don't know many people who are."
While their relationship will gain formal status Saturday, Andrews feels as if he's been married for a while.
"Me and her was like married since the day I talked to her on the phone," he said. "It was like, if you find your soul mate, you know that's your soul mate."

A video game character I feel like I'm most like? I would have to go with Octodad because around my family I'm pretty normal, but as soon as they leave I reveal my true octo-form. Plus no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to do even the simplest tasks right...
I'm totally kidding!
My real choice would have to be Wander from Shadow of the Colossus. I chose him because the more I think about it, the more I realize that whenever I'm told to do something, I'll usually do it. Unless it's something completely stupid or inappropriate, chances are I won't think too much about it.
So, what video game character do you feel you are most like, or wish you were?

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat officially have their backs against the wall.
Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks once again ran away with the game late in the fourth quarter to go up 3-2 in the 2011 NBA Finals. Heading into Game 5, I still believed Miami had the momentum of this series, despite their Game 4 collapse.
Now, the Heat go back to Miami with a hobbled Wade and a mentally unstable James. Meanwhile, after all of the hoopla over Nowitzki's 'sinus infection,' he'll head to Miami feeling just fine as he prepares to take care of business and stay in South Beach to celebrate with a Carona while sitting on his white and blue beach chair by the seashore.
We the media still can't get enough Tiger Woods, so of course we have to throw a little Tiger spice into the mix today. What other awesomely tragic news is going on in the tumultuous life of Tiger?
We have the hottest news topics of the day from the NBA Finals aftermath, LeBron James and his nonsensical tweeting, Tiger Woods and his continuous tumble down the mountain and just about everything else buzzing on this glorious Friday.

The Internet is hurting 'Real Hip Hop'
Is there such a thing as real hip hop? I mean, hip hop has been mutating throughout its nearly 40 year run into what it is today. As someone who has watched these changes from the beginning I can assure you-yes, there is such a thing as real hip hop.
Not every type of music gets a title during the height of its cultural enlightenment. Hip hop's came in the 90's with the label of the "Golden Era." The Golden Era was a time in the late 80's-early 90's that firstly solidified that hip hop was not a fad as many thought. Secondly, it proved to be a viable source of income for artists as well as corporate entities. Finally, the Golden Era brought a defined sound to hip hop. Every coast had a discernable sound. An artist could flourish without a "hit" record. Unlike today, they were handing out record deals like hotcakes to anyone with talent. If you had a niche, you had a deal. An artist didn't have to be tough or hood. They could just be. If you liked sampled music with a grimey flow on top you could easily find something from the East coast. If you wanted to know about gang life with some funk behind it you went to the West. Later the South would find it's voice too. There was an equation to the sound of the golden era and everyone (mostly) was happy. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

KANSAS CITY, Kansas (AP) – Little-used forward Kyle Miller scored a fluke stoppage-time goal in his first start for Sporting Kansas City, salvaging a 1-1 draw against English side Stoke City in a friendly on Wednesday.
Miller deflected a clearance attempt by Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic into an empty net in the second minute of added time.
Sporting kept beanpole Stoke striker Peter Crouch in check for his hour-long stint and didn't give up a shot on goal until the second half. But in the 83rd minute, Stoke's Michael Tonge drove along the byline into the penalty area and was fouled from behind by Konrad Warzycha.
He converted his own chance from the spot in the 84th, getting Sporting's Eric Kronberg to dive to his left and shooting just inside the other post for a 1-0 lead.

Why'll we watch him The 2005 World Cup moguls champ Bloom, 23, brings the tightest turns on the hill plus some sick aerial tricks—all performed at speeds of up to 40 mph—to next month's Winter Olympics in Turin. "He's reached the point," 1998 gold moguls medalist Jonny Moseley recently told SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, "where he can just make magic happen."
Mogul Mania: Picture racing downhill around 3- to 4-ft.-high mounds of snow and performing two extreme jumps like the stomach-churning 720-heli-X Bloom is planning (two complete rotations 15-20 ft. off the ground with his skis tucked under him in an X). "Jeremy's very gifted," says former Olympian Trace Worthington, who will be NBC's freestyle skiing analyst at the Games. "But when you add the training and efforts he puts into it, the combination is just inhuman. It's kind of like game over."
Toddler on the trails: "My dad was insane as far as skiing," says Bloom, who grew up in Loveland, Colo., and remembers bombing down gnarly expert runs at 3, his Superman cape flapping behind him. "We'd be in line waiting for the lifts to open. We would not leave until the sun went down."
Hold the booze: On the circuit Bloom, who rarely drinks, is as well-known for his self-discipline as downhill racer Bode Miller (see box) is for partying. "I don't feel good when I eat a lot of junk food," says the 5'9″, 170-lb. racer, who during ski season cuts out cheese (too much fat) and soda. He averages two hours a day in the weight room, plus grueling agility and endurance workouts off-season.
Can he do anything besides ski? He earns money off his hunkish good looks, modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, Tommy Hilfiger and Under Armour. And then there's football. After the Olympics Bloom, who was a standout wide receiver and punt returner at the University of Colorado, plans to work out for NFL scouts. He hopes that his blazing speed (4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash), strength and skills will get him drafted come April. "It's about a dream of mine," says Bloom. "I'm all about challenges."
Wackiest fan encounter: During his first semester at the University of Colorado, Bloom opened the window of his second-floor dorm room one day to find a girl clinging to the tree outside, eager for a peek at him. "It kind of freaked me out," he says.
Bloom in love: For the past two years, he has been dating Cameran Eubanks, 23, one of the stars of MTV's Real World San Diego. They met in Cancun while he was on vacation. "She's incredibly sweet," he says.
His idol: Bloom's biggest hero now is pro-footballer-turned-Army-Ranger Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan. Bloom wears one of his NFL decals on his ski helmet. (It was given to him by Tillman's younger brother Richard, an actor and now friend of Bloom's; they met on an Abercrombie shoot.) "He's been a huge inspiration for me," says Bloom of Tillman. "He marched to his own drum."
Moving nimbly over bumpy terrain may be Jeremy Bloom's specialty, but his Olympic teammate Bode Miller has shown that he's no slouch either. Earlier this month the free-spirited Miller, 28—who competes in the sport's downhill and slalom events—hit some major PR moguls when he admitted on 60 Minutes that he'd skied a race hungover ("wasted," he called it). Outraged, the U.S. Ski Team called for an apology, which Bode offered. "The message that came through is not what I'm about in any way in my sporting career," he said. Meanwhile, however, Miller seems to be doing what he does best: hanging loose and skiing fast. "He's taking it in his stride as much as anything in the past. It hasn't fazed him at all," says Miller's friend, chef and travel buddy Jake Serino, 27, from the RV parked in Kitzbühel, Austria, where Miller was relaxing in front of the TV. "Just wait until the Olympics. Bode will silence his critics."

Profitability, Growth, and Average Returns

CRSP Working Paper No. 558
Valuation theory says that expected stock returns are related to three variables: the book-to-market equity ratio (B/M), expected profitability, and expected investment. Given B/M and expected profitability, higher rates of investment imply lower expected returns. But controlling for the other two variables, more profitable firms have higher expected returns, as do firms with higher B/M. These predictions are confirmed in our tests. Our results are qualitatively similar to earlier evidence, but in quantitative (economic) terms, there are some interesting surprises.
