BALTIMORE (Aug. 20, 2005) -- If the Philadelphia Eagles without Terrell Owens could come up with enough big plays to beat the Baltimore Ravens, then Donovan McNabb can only imagine how good the offense will be once their gifted wide receiver finally gets some action.
Dexter Wynn returned a punt 74 yards for a score, McNabb threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Brian Westbrook, and the Eagles benefited from three turnovers by Kyle Boller in a 20-14 preseason victory.
"I was very happy with what I saw," Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said. "I thought it was important that Donovan did well against a really good defense, and he did a nice job."
McNabb went 6 for 9 for 107 yards before leaving in the second quarter with the Eagles leading 17-0. He also ran for 27 yards on his lone carry.
Owens missed a second straight preseason game because of a groin injury he aggravated on Aug. 18. He hasn't caught a pass this summer, but has made news by demanding a new contract, being sent home from training camp, calling McNabb "a hypocrite" and insulting offensive coordinator Brad Childress.
|The Ravens had problems corralling Donovan McNabb, especially on this 27-yard run.
"It will be nice next week when we get T.O. back. Hopefully we'll have him," McNabb said. "I'm looking for him to get out on the field and we can be together."
Owens certainly wasn't needed on this night, because the Eagles' first-string offense had little difficulty moving against a unit that is still getting adjusted to the aggressive 4-6 alignment of first-year defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.
The Eagles (1-1) led 7-0 when McNabb ran 27 yards to his own 42. Three plays later, he hit Westbrook in the right flat, and the running back coasted down the sideline into the end zone to make it 14-0.
"We don't have all our guys here, obviously," McNabb said at halftime, "but the guys that are here are doing an excellent job catching the ball, getting first downs and moving the ball downfield."
Allowing an easy touchdown is OK in the preseason, but the Ravens know a similar lapse in their regular-season opener against Indianapolis would be disastrous.
"We can't have a play like they had on the touchdown when we play the Colts," Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis said. "Rex and the coaches will fix that."
On the Ravens' opening series, Boller threw an incomplete pass on first down before completing an 11-yarder to Derrick Mason. His next pass, however, was thrown right into the arms of safety Michael Lewis, who returned the interception to the Baltimore 32.
The Eagles lost a yard on three plays before David Akers was wide right on a 51-yard field goal try.
Philadelphia then forced a punt, and Wynn burst up the middle behind a block by Ryan Moats and sprinted into the end zone without being touched.
It was 14-0 before Boller lost a fumble, and Akers turned the mistake into a 45-yard field goal.
Late in the half, Boller threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Wilcox, completing a 49-yard drive that enabled him to derive something positive from a shoddy performance.
"I'm glad we finished strong on that last drive, because the start wasn't very good," Boller said. "It's probably my worst quarter-and-a-half in the NFL."
Boller went 10 for 15 for 88 yards for Baltimore (0-2).
The Ravens had a touchdown called back on the final play of the second quarter. Ed Reed picked up a loose ball on a blocked field goal and ran about 15 yards before flipping it to Chris McAlister, who took the ball into the end zone.
But officials viewing the replay ruled that the pass from Reed to McAlister was not a lateral.
"I don't know of a football field, pup, community, Pop Warner, junior high, high school or college that that's not a touchdown," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "But evidently not in the NFL."
Baltimore cornerback Samari Rolle left the game in the first half with a mild right knee sprain. Before the injury, he intercepted a McNabb pass at the Baltimore 30 to end a scoring threat.
Philadelphia wide receiver Justin Jenkins sprained his right knee on the opening kickoff and was taken from the field on a cart. Jenkins is listed as Owens' backup on the depth chart.

The legend was a disappointment
Ever since I was a little girl, I had always been in love with the legends of King Arthur and the kights of the round table. I know that the historians will always tell us that the legends are just mythology; but to me, I believe Arthur existed and he existed because I want him and the stories about him to exist. Tintagel is a very disappointing place and it seems that its only existence is to please the tourists. Maybe I would think better of it if could have seen it all for myself, but I couldn't, so I don't.
Unique Suggestions:
Sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by if you can't make it, like I couldn't, to go and see the ruins.
Fun Alternatives:
I never thought I'd say this about anywhere, but go and have a look around the many gift and trinkets shops, there are some wonderful things to be seen and bought if you don't mind parting with your money.

- Archeology
- Castles and Palaces
What a bloody cheek!
I couldn't beleive my eyes when I noticed this sign. Just take a look at the very first part of the big burgundy sign on the right hand side of you; it says... 'Open to non residents.' Well, excuse me, I know that little villages seem to have an etiquette all of their very own, but a pub is a pub, it's a public house, which means it is open to everyone!
Fun Alternatives:
Don't go into the pub on principle.
- Food and Dining
- Wine Tasting
- Beer Tasting
Helping the disabled... not!
Where the ruins of Tintagel castle are an enormous trek for unable bodied people, tintagel offers you it's help; for £1.40 you can get a ride in a range rover to see the ruins. But what they don't tell you, is there is no way you can get to see the ruins, even in the range rover. The car takes you around a quarter of a mile down a steep hill, but then there's the thousand steps to climb up anyway. So you pay £1.40 for nothing, it's a big rip off, and no, I didn't take them up on their rip-off offer either.
Fun Alternatives:
I sent Chris, Mel and Simon to go and take a look at the ruins, whilst I went into a café across the road and got myself a latté. I sat down on the wet metal seats, with the cigarettes and my coffee, and watched all of the people who had made the trek to the ruins, including students, come back totally knackered.

MOVJGA begins final two stops today
PARKERSBURG – There's something to be said for persistence.
Case in point: Steve Farley.
Several years ago when he began competing in the Mid-Ohio Valley Junior Golf Association, Farley didn't call it quits even after turning in triple-digit scores.
Now in his final season with the MOVJGA Tour at the age of 18, Farley is in position to claim his first age division championship. Awaiting the Warren High School graduate are the final two events beginning today at South Hills Golf Club and ending with Friday's stop at Woodridge Golf Club.
"I've just made leaps and bounds in all parts of my game," Farley said. "When I first started playing golf, I couldn't hit a driver or 3-wood. I had to hit 4-iron off every single tee because that was the only thing I knew I could hit. Driving has been a considerable help with my game. It's a big difference when you can hit the ball 80 yards further."
The age division title and the $1,000 scholarship which accompanies the feat is in no way a lock. Behind three second place finishes and two third-place showings, Farley has accumulated 104 points. His nearest competitor is Williamstown 17-year-old Mac McCormick at 97 points.
McCormick hit a hot streak with consecutive wins at St. Marys Golf Course, Mingo Bottom Golf Course in Elizabeth and Golf Club of West Virginia in Waverly. The victory at Golf Club of West Virginia was special because McCormick turned in the round of his life with a 68.
"My game came together," McCormick said. "My driving was phenomenal and my putting was crazy good. If I missed the green, my wedge saved me and I was still able to get par."
On the outside looking in in terms of the 16-18 age division standings, last year's champion Zach McKenna ranks third with 75 points, while Belpre junior Sam Petty follows with 67 points. Shadowing Petty is Michael Sams at 66 points.
"As far as South Hills, I've not played particularly well there the last couple of years," said Farley, who will be attending Methodist University in Fayetteville, N.C., this fall. "But as far as Woodridge, I've played well there all my life. Surprisingly, it doesn't play well with my game because I like to cut the ball and the course sets up better for a draw. I've been able to scoot around and throw a good round together."
South Hills might present issues for McCormick as well, but the Williamstown junior is anxious to set foot at Woodridge, which is the same venue where he placed runner-up at last year's Little Kanawha Conference Tournament.
"I know every bump and turn at Woodridge – that's one course I'm looking forward to," McCormick said.
In the 13-15 age division, Alex Easthom has the title wrapped up at 101 points. Easthom owns medalist honors from stops at Mingo Bottom and Lakeside Golf Course to coincide with runner-up showings at Worthington Golf Course and Golf Club of West Virginia.
Battling for second place are a host of individuals, including Cameron Bosner (61), Adeena Shears (60), Logan Clegg (58), Trevor Gorrell (55) and Isaac Prine (52).
The 12-under age group will go down to the wire with Zach Redmon (91), Blake Snyder (84), Wes Jenkins (81) occupying the top three positions.

Saudi Arabia Arrests 88 Terrorism Suspects
Arrests Come as Worries Grow Over Advances by Islamic State in Neighboring Iraq
RIYADH—Authorities in Saudi Arabia arrested 88 people on suspicion of planning to carry out terrorist attacks both in the kingdom and abroad, the Ministry of Interior said on Tuesday, as worries escalated in the Gulf nation over the advance of Islamic State rebels in neighboring Iraq.
The Islamic State's declaration in June of a caliphate encompassing parts of both Iraq and Syria, following its lightning military advance across northern Iraq, is viewed by many in Saudi Arabia as an open challenge to the kingdom's claim to leadership of the Muslim world.
The rebellion against the Shiite Muslim-dominated government of Iraq also threatens to draw more Saudi youth to foreign battlefields. Saudi officials have said that more than 1,000 Saudi citizens have gone to fight in Syria.
The development led Saudi Arabia to outlaw the Islamic State this year and forbid any Saudi national from fighting outside the kingdom.
The arrests announced on Tuesday were carried out in the past several days, and more than half of those taken into custody were previously detained on terrorism-related charges, Mansour Al Turki, a ministry spokesman, said in a televised news conference.
Eighty-four of those arrested are Saudi nationals and three hail from neighboring Yemen, Mr. Turki said. He didn't disclose the nationality of the other detainee.
The Saudi spokesman said some of the suspects had schemed to carry out assassinations inside the kingdom and had communicated with purported terrorists abroad.
One suspect has written Friday sermons for extremist elements abroad, he said, offering no other details.
In a statement carried by the state news agency, the government didn't cite the Islamic State by name, saying only the arrests were related to the "painful reality the region is going through" and denouncing those with "sick ideas" who "spread their extremist opinions and corrupt the youth and drag them to places of strife."
Under Saudi law, terrorism suspects can be held up to a year without charges. Saudi Arabia's efforts against Islamic State come after it battled al Qaeda, a predecessor, in the mid-2000s.
The Saudi monarch, King Abdullah, warned on Saturday that terrorist groups would attack the West unless the international community acted with collective "power and speed" to stop them.
The king didn't specify any organization, but said he was "certain that after a month they will reach Europe and, after another month, America."
Saudi Arabia's alarm over Islamic State has led it to adopt a common position with its ideological foes in Iran over a new candidate to lead Iraq, in a push for a new government that might unite Sunnis and Shiites to battle Islamic State there.
Islamic State's al Qaeda-linked predecessor in Iraq considered the Saudi royal family to be infidels and vowed to overthrow them. The extremist organization views the region's monarchies and states as blasphemous, contending that all leaders must have stringent religious credentials to rule.
Some Islamic State supporters have recently emphasized those ideological points on social media, saying they seek to liberate the Saudi people from their "infidel" rulers.
Earlier this year, Saudi rulers branded a range of political and armed groups in the region as terrorists, including Islamic State, the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah Shiite militia in Lebanon, the Houthi Shiite rebels in Yemen and the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Authorities said last week they had taken into custody eight men for recruiting young people to fight abroad. The arrests, which are among the 88 announced Tuesday, took place in the town of Tameer, northwest of Riyadh, after complaints from fathers.
Hours before the Saudi government's announcement of the arrests, gunmen carried out an attack on a gas pipeline in the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province, said an official at state-owned Saudi Aramco.
The pipeline was quickly repaired, and gas and oil production were unaffected, the official said. One officer was lightly wounded in the attack.
Tuesday's attack marked the first reported assault on energy infrastructure in the kingdom since 2006.
Saudi security forces foiled an al Qaeda raid on the vast Abqaiq oil-processing facility in 2006 and a cyber-security breach at Aramco in 2012.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Though all of the cast members are not old enough to have had those lyrics engrained in their minds several decades ago, after countless rehearsals performing HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, they likely now hear it in their sleep.
Presented by the Universitys Department of Music, Theatre and Dance, Cal State L.A. will take audience back into the Age of Aquaurius for two weekendsMay 17-19 and May 23-26in the State Playhouse on the CSULA campus.
Introduced on Broadway in 1968, HAIR is a recipient of the Grammy for Best Score from an Original Cast Show Album.
The rock musical tells a story of a group of young people in New York Citys East Village who band together, much like a Native American tribe. They question authority and the society they are living in. They seek to change the world, and to recreate themselves.
Whitney Tenney, a third-year MFA student in Television, Film and Theatre, shared that one of the greatest challenges in this production has been allowing herself to trust and break down barriers.
(Cast photo courtesy of CSULA Department of Music, Theatre and Dance.)
Luckily, the tribe and director have been the most wonderful, open, loving, committed, hardworking and creative group of people I have ever worked with, she said. I am very proud of my own growth as a member of this incredible ensemble. With the insular hippie love circle weve cultivated over the last seven weeks, I hope that the audience feels our trust, love and dedication to spreading the message that makes HAIR such a unique, timeless and important piece of American theatre.
According to Stephen Rothman, the musicals director, HAIR captured the experimental atmosphere of the 1960s. It became a forum of struggle between tradition and change as attempts were made to censor the shows content and even ban the production altogether.
Twice HAIR producers and performers went to the U.S. Supreme Court fighting for the freedom it was celebrating, and signaled a new age as the courts upheld the shows right to freedom of speech.
What makes this performance so special and magical is that the students have all evolved during this rehearsal process into a collaborative unit known as the tribe, said Rothman. As such, they have reached a level of professionalism on stage that matches the work you see at The Mark Taper Forum and The Pasadena Playhouse. I am so proud of our 24 cast members for making this incredible performance journey.
Members of the cast include CSULA students Kristen Bailey, Candice M. Clasby, Elizabeth J.

Diplomacy & defense
US Vice President Joe Biden condemned terror in Israel on Wednesday, saying that "Israeli's cannot go one being afraid for their lives," as he met with Israeli President Reuvin Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to Haaretz, Biden urged Netanyahu to sign a memorandum of understanding with President Barack Obama – often perceived as being at loggorhead with the Israeli leader on most issues – regarding the next US military aid package to Israel.
Citing an unnamed official, the daily reported that a better deal under a new president would be virtually impossible due to expected cuts to the US defense budgets.
Rivlin greeted Biden warmly at the President's residence in Jerusalem where the two made a joint statement before the press.
Rivlin opened the press conference acknowledging the wave of attacks that have taken place, including one in Jerusalem earlier that morning in which two Palestinians fired on a bus in Jerusalem before fleeing and again opening fire outside the Old City, leaving one Israeli seriously wounded
"Once again we woke up to terror on the streets of Jerusalem. You arrived yesterday and were in Jaffa, just a short distance from the brutal terror attack in which a US citizen was murdered," Rivlin said to Biden.
"I stand here with you in grief and in solidarity. Our prayers go to the victim's family, and to all the injured in the wave of terror which struck last night and this morning," he continued, adding that "to my sorrow, Israel has faced this kind of terror nearly every day over the past year. Israel will continue to stand firm in the face of this violence and hatred. Terror will not break us, and it will not shape our future."
Biden responded to Rivlin's statements saying, "We take very seriously, as you do here, the death of every innocent civilian, every warrior, that comes as a consequence of the evil acts of terror."
"There is an old Irish expression, 'too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart.' The reason why we have to deal with this plague of terrorism is it will have the tendency to harden hearts – not be willing to reach out, not be willing to reach compromise," Biden continued.
"Israelis and visitors to Israel cannot go on being afraid to go about their lives for fear of being attacked. The violence has to stop, period. As you indicated, Mr President, one of the reasons I think you are such a wise man, it cannot and will not be done just be physical force," he added.
Biden criticizes Palestinian leaders for 'failure to condemn' attacks
As Biden met with Netanyahu he implicitly criticized Palestinian leaders for not condemning attacks against Israelis.
"The United States of America condemns these acts and condemns the failure to condemn these acts," Biden said after meeting the Israeli leader.
"The kind of violence we saw yesterday, the failure to condemn it, the rhetoric that incites that violence, the retribution that it generates, has to stop."
Six separate attacks have taken place shortly before or after Biden's arrival on Tuesday, including a stabbing spree on Tel Aviv's waterfront by a Palestinian who killed an American tourist and wounded 12 people.
Biden said his wife and grandchildren had been having dinner on the beach not far from the site of the stabbings.
"It just brings home that it happens and it can happen anywhere at any time," he said.
Biden met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the Muqata'a in Ramallah on Wednesday evening. Biden did not make a statement after the meeting, which lasted around an hour.
The PA, on the other hand, did release a statement to the press, saying: "President Abbas gave his condolences to VP Biden on the killing of the American tourist yesterday. He also said that Israel has killed more than 200 Palestinians [in the current wave of violence].
"Abbas said that the PA is committed to the two-state solution based on the '67 borders," the statement continued.
Abbas also said in the meeting that fighting terror in all its forms should be a priority, the statement said.
According to the PA statement, Biden reaffirmed in the meeting the US's opposition to settlement-building.
Netanyahu thanked Biden for condemning Tuesday's attack which killed an American citizen, but, "unfortunately President Abbas has not only refused to condemn these terrorist attacks, his Fatah party actually praised the murderer of this American citizen as a Palestinian martyr and a hero," he said.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas has repeatedly called for peaceful resistance against the Israeli occupation, but has not specifically condemned a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks that erupted in October.
Islamist movement Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip, often praises such attacks.
Many of the attackers have been young people, including teenagers, who appear to have been acting on their own.
Analysts say Palestinian frustration with Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, the complete lack of progress in peace efforts and their own fractured leadership have fed the unrest.
Israel blames incitement by Palestinian leaders and media as a main cause of the violence.
According to Netanyahu the two discussed the "persistent incitement in Palestinian society that glorifies murderers of innocent people, and calls for a Palestinian state not to live in peace with Israel, but to replace Israel" as well as the rise of the Islamic State group and Iran's "relentless aggression and terror in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, the Golan and Gaza, and elsewhere in the region and around the world."
According to i24NEWS' diplomatic correspondent Tal Shalev, an Israeli official said that Netanyahu and Biden's meeting was warm and friendly, as they have been acquainted for over 30 years.
They discussed Syria and the battle against IS, as well as the Iranian support of Hezbollah. They also discussed normalization efforts with Turkey and regional cooperation efforts, said the official.
On the Palestinian issue - the leaders discussed security cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians, and Palestinian incitement. Netanyahu showed Biden the incitement video he has been showing world leaders in recent months and pointed out that the official PA Facebook page had praise for the terrorists that perpetrated the attacks yesterday, the official added.
Biden will travel to Palestinian political capital Ramallah in the West Bank later Wednesday to meet Abbas.
Ahead of the Ramallah talks, senior Palestinian official Ahmed Majdalani said he was expecting "nothing" from Biden's visit.
"Mr. Biden is only coming to the region in the context of his plans regarding the fight against terrorism in Syria, not for us," he told AFP, referring to talks between Biden and Netanyahu on the Islamic State jihadist group.

"Oh, and remind me again, what did the total withdrawal of Jews from Gaza bring Israel? "
Its intention was to give Israel the ability to more concentrate its resources in taking much of the West Bank, also to drive a wedge between the Palestinian people who are one entity.
The current debacle was not foreseen.

Negotiations come with compromises - not a one-way street. Abbas didn't bother to show up to talks when there were freezes - a condition to get him to the table in the first place. But of course, Palestinian violence isn't about settlements, it's their hatred for Jews...otherwise they would've had a country any time between 1948 and 1967 (before Arabs chose to invent a people call "Palestinians")

A lot of people are now seeing the true face of Abbas and co. and looking into where all the foreign aid money is going to....
The striking teachers are exposing the Palestinian Authority (PA) as playing Western donors for suckers.
No one, in fact, knows how many Palestinians are on the Palestinian payroll.
Donors might not be aware, for instance, that they are paying over 50,000 employees from the Gaza Strip to not work. This has been the case since 20007, when Hamas seized control over the Gaza Strip. In response, the PA ordered all its employees to boycott Hamas and promised to pay them full salaries for sitting at home.
The Palestinian committee has been tasked to avoid scandal and ensure that donors do not get to the bottom of the case.
Western donors want to see a list of the names of Palestinians who are on the payroll of the Palestinian Authority (PA), and the PA is not happy about it.
What is driving this demand? Thousands of Palestinian school teachers in the West Bank are striking for better conditions. The Palestinian leadership, in response, has ordered a security crackdown on the strikers.
To justify the crackdown, PA officials have claimed that the strike was organized by Hamas as part of a conspiracy to embarrass and undermine the regime of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
What is really happening is that the teachers are blowing the whistle on PA corruption. They have accused the PA Ministry of Education of wasting donors' funds and deceiving them by inflating the number of teachers. They claim that the list of employees (about 56,000) ostensibly hired by the ministry contains many fictitious names. These include teachers and administrative workers of the ministry.
The teachers also accuse the PA of lying to the donors about their salaries. The information provided by the PA to donors claimed that the PA pays higher salaries to the teachers than the teachers actually receive.
In other words, the striking teachers are exposing the PA as playing Western donors for suckers.
The PA's Finance Ministry has yet to publish the general budget for the years 2015 and 2016. The last time the budget appeared on the ministry's official website was in 2014. The striking teachers and other Palestinians say there is something fishy about the Finance Ministry's failure to make public the annual budget for 2015 and 2016. They call this a lack of transparency.
According to various sources, the donors' request took PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah by surprise. He has referred the request to the office of Mahmoud Abbas and is now awaiting the president's personal intervention in the developing scandal.
One report revealed that the PA leadership has formed a secret legal committee, headed by Palestinian official Karim Shehadeh, to prepare a reply to the donors about the discrepancy in the salaries. The committee has been tasked to avoid scandal and ensure that donors do not get to the bottom of the case.
The donors' request explains the hysterical response of the PA leadership to the ongoing teachers' strike in the West Bank. In the past few weeks, PA security forces have rounded up dozens of striking teachers and imposed a reign of intimidation against others. When the teachers planned to hold a protest rally in Ramallah last week, the PA deployed hundreds of policemen and set up checkpoints in various parts of the West Bank in a bid to foil the protest and terrify the teachers.
Left: Striking Palestinian teachers protest in Ramallah last week. Right: Palestinian Authority policemen deploy in the street to intimidate the teachers.
In a typical game of smoke and mirrors, the Palestinian government this week denied that the donor countries demanded to inspect the payroll records. Yet Palestinian sources in Ramallah insisted that the reports were true. According to the sources, this marks a watershed in donors' demand for accountability from the PA leadership.
Striking teachers is only one of the PA headaches. The donors' demand for a full report on the names of PA public employees is bad news for Abbas. No one, in fact, knows how many Palestinians are on the PA payroll. Some figures estimate the number of employees at over 160,000, while others have put the figure at 250,000.
According to one study, the Palestinians have one policeman for every 52 people, compared to one teacher for each 72. Since its founding more than two decades ago, the PA has established ten different security services that employ more than 70,000 people.
Some Palestinians have charged that these numbers have been vastly inflated by using names of the deceased, those who live abroad and some who do not even exist. In the main, these salaries are covered by donor governments such as the US and EU, who for years have failed to check the lists of the public employees or verify the sums.
Moreover, donors might not be aware that they are paying over 50,000 employees from the Gaza Strip to not work. This has been the case since 20007, when Hamas seized control over the Gaza Strip. In response, the Palestinian Authority ordered all its employees to boycott Hamas and promised to pay them full salaries for sitting at home.
If the donors are indeed demanding the report, it could mark the dawn of a new era -- one in which the PA leadership is called on the carpet for its financial shenanigans. Of course, President Abbas and his friends might still find a way to blame Israel. This tactic has worked wonders in the past.
Thus, the jury is still out on whether the donors will show themselves to be the suckers the PA is hoping for, or if the Palestinians will finally begin to be held accountable for their behavior.

""The United States of America condemns these acts and condemns the failure to condemn these acts," Biden said after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
Biden is of course referring to the continued settlement building and Netanyahu's refusal to disown their illegal action.

In what could turn out to be a shrewd political move, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump expanded his list of potential Supreme Court nominees on Friday. The timing, just before the first debate on Monday night, couldn't be better. It sets the tone and part of the conversation of that debate and puts his opponent, Democrat contender Hillary Clinton, on the defensive: She has yet to provide voters with her official list of nominees for the high court.
In addition to the 11 nominees announced back in May by the Trump campaign are the following:

My name is Lisa and I'm an ISFJ
2015-03-01 12:29:39
Over the past year I have been very interested in learning all about the 16 Myers Briggs personality types. I have taken a few tests based on the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator). The first time I took it, I scored as an INFP. I read all about that personality type and thought Ya, this kind of sounds like me. Cool. Later on, I took a similar free test that I found online at 16Personalities.com. This time, I scored as an ISFJ (as well as on subsequent tests). I then submerged myself in research about that type and thought, "Wow! This fits me to a T!" It felt good to be able to see some of the reasons for who I am on paper. It was almost as if the person who wrote the description understood me and was speaking directly to me. Maybe other people wont find their results as accurate, but it's fun to explore. Since I have a huge need for information, I can sometimes get carried away with it. I also wrongly assume everyone else has the same need for information, so sometimes I overshare 😉 That, coupled with the fact that I tend to feel like I have to defend myself and my crazy personality often, led me to decide to share what I've learned. Hope it's helpful in understanding why I am the way I am. If it's not, keep your opinions to yourself..ISFJ's dislike confrontation! 😉
The ISFJ personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though possessing the Feeling (F) trait, ISFJs have excellent analytical abilities; though Introverted (I), they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are a Judging (J) type, ISFJs are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the ISFJ personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are. ISFJs are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.
- Supportive – ISFJs are the universal helpers, sharing their knowledge, experience, time and energy with anyone who needs it, and all the more so with friends and family. People with this personality type strive for win-win situations, choosing empathy over judgment whenever possible. Very true. Even if I don't like you, I'll do what I can to help. If I DO like you however, theres no limit to what I'll do for you.
- Reliable and Patient – Rather than offering sporadic, excited rushes that leave things half finished, ISFJs are meticulous and careful, taking a steady approach and bending with the needs of the situation just enough to accomplish their end goals. ISFJs not only ensure that things are done to the highest standard, but often go well beyond what is required. My patience has thinned some since becoming a single parent, but in general, I'm pretty patient. I'll wait on action until I'm ready. Sometimes it's because I want to gather more information. Sometimes its to give the person or situation a chance to change direction. As long as it doesn't go against my principles, I also try to do what I can to stay flexible and empathetic so I can help in the way that is needed, instead of my preference.
- Imaginative and Observant – ISFJs are very imaginative, and use this quality as an accessory to empathy, observing others' emotional states and seeing things from their perspective. With their feet firmly planted on the ground, it is a very practical imagination, though they do find things quite fascinating and inspiring. My imagination is pretty vivid lol. I like to imagine how I would feel in a situation to better empathize with someone. I also treat people the way I'd want to be treated if I were in a similar situation. I notice a lot. Sometimes other's may think I am daydreaming or uninterested in the goings on. In reality I'm constantly taking in information and storing it away, linking it up with past information I find relevant. I guard the information I take in. I use it to build my opinions of the situation. I don't like people knowing what I know. If I do let on that I know about something, it's because I want you to know that I know. You know that comment you made to someone you thought I couldn't hear? I heard it. It's been filed away for future processing.
- Enthusiastic – When the goal is right, ISFJs take all this support, reliability and imagination and apply it to something they believe will make a difference in people's lives – whether fighting poverty with a global initiative or simply making a customer's day. I have a huge amount of enthusiasm when i know i'm helping someone. If they show they appreciate it, I will continue to bend over backwards for them. My reward is knowing I'm doing something that adds to their happiness.
- Loyal and Hard-Working – Given a little time, this enthusiasm grows into loyalty – ISFJ personalities often form an emotional attachment to the ideas and organizations they've dedicated themselves to. Anything short of meeting their obligations with good, hard work fails their own expectations. I'm not happy with an outcome if I think I could have done better. I want to scrap it all and start over to make sure it's the best because I want to give my best to the things that are super important to me. My tendency for perfectionism can play a huge roll here and sometimes it gets in the way of working as a team.
- Good Practical Skills – The best part is, ISFJs have the practical sense to actually do something with all this altruism. If mundane, routine tasks are what need to be done, ISFJs can see the beauty and harmony that they create, because they know that it helps them to care for their friends, family, and anyone else who needs it. I don't care what it is, if it's something I can do to help, I do it because I know it provides a benefit to someone. Even if that benefit is just more freetime for them to enjoy or a smile that brightened their day. You never know the ripple effect your actions can have on someone or the world around them.
- Humble and Shy – The meek shall inherit the earth, but it's a long road if they receive no recognition at all. This is possibly ISFJs' biggest challenge, as they are so concerned with others' feelings that they refuse to make their thoughts known, or to take any duly earned credit for their contributions. ISFJs' standards for themselves are also so high that, knowing they could have done some minor aspect of a task better, they often downplay their successes entirely. I don't want to cause conflict, so I usually keep my mouth shut. I focus on always doing the right thing and making people happy. If someone does something for me, I HAVE to find a way to do something thoughtful in return. I'm definitely too shy. Sometimes I'll have a solution to a problem but I'm afraid of being wrong or criticized , so I don't tell anyone. The words could be on the tip of my tongue, but I wont be able to physically speak them, no matter how hard I try. Give me a pen and paper though and you may get a 50 page dissertation 😉 I am never happy with things I do. I could make a delicious gourmet meal but would think it was just OK, because I made it. Anything I create, I think Hey that looks awesome..for about 10 seconds. Then I hate it. It's not good enough.
- Take Things Too Personally – ISFJs have trouble separating personal and impersonal situations – any situation is still an interaction between two people, after all – and any negativity from conflict or criticism can carry over from their professional to their personal lives, and back again. I have a bad habit of taking out frustrations with one person on another. I'm working on recognizing that so I can stop it before it gets ugly. I also need a lot of positive feedback, especially from the people I care most about. Compliments, deeds, physical touch, etc are so very appreciated and important to me. If you don't hug me, I feel like I've done something wrong or you don't care about me. If you don't tell me I'm pretty, I will think you don't like the way I look, regardless of how I feel about myself. If you don't tell me you appreciate something, I will feel as if I wasted my time and effort on you. The longer I go without positive reinforcement, I will become bitter. Depending on the need, i will still do things for you, but I will be resentful the entire time I'm doing it.
- Repress Their Feelings – People with the ISFJ personality type are private and very sensitive, internalizing their feelings a great deal. Much in the way that ISFJs protect others' feelings, they must protect their own, and this lack of healthy emotional expression can lead to a lot of stress and frustration. This is part of the avoiding conflict trait. Also, sharing my feelings makes me vulnerable and the number of people I can be completely vulnerable with can be counted on one hand. I don't like to give people the tools with which to hurt me, so my walls are constantly up. If you take them down, tread carefully. You have the power to hurt me more deeply than you can imagine. This also means that I'm keeping a lot of my perceived offences (like not showing appreciation or making me feel judged/criticized) to myself and it builds and builds. Soon, all of my repressed emotions can explode in a massive verbal attack. You do not want to be around when that happens. Leave the conversation until we both calm down. It's really best.
- Overload Themselves – Their strong senses of duty and perfectionism combine with this aversion to emotional conflict to create a situation where it is far too easy for ISFJs to overload themselves – or to be overloaded by others – as they struggle silently to meet everyone's expectations, especially their own. Nothing truly makes me happier than helping people. Which means I want everyone to come to me with their problems.. I also have a tendency to believe that I CAN solve everyone's problems. When someone doesn't come to me with a problem and either goes to someone else, or suffers silently, I am offended and take it very personally…even if I already have 14 other things I'm trying to take care of. If I AM overloaded, I'm also relieved at the same time that they didn't ask for my help. It's an odd contradiction. If my stress becomes too much, it gets ugly. I can't cope. I have to stop everything and isolate completely. Sleeping is also a good reset for me when this happens.
- Reluctant to Change – These challenges can be particularly hard to address since ISFJ personalities value traditions and history highly in their decisions. A situation sometimes needs to reach a breaking point before ISFJs are persuaded by circumstance, or the strong personality of a loved one, to alter course. This is an odd trait of mine. I like to plan things. I am very uneasy until there is a plan in place. I don't always share this plan, but it's there. Once the plan is made, I could care less if it's thrown out the window and a spontaneous "plan" is created. I just need the initial structure. BUT, if something happens that alters my emotional state and I am not prepared for it, I can't handle it. My emotions get all crazy and my anxiety level goes through the roof. I begin to cling to what I want so that I can slowly come to terms with the change before letting it go.
- Too Altruistic – This is all compounded and reinforced by ISFJs' otherwise wonderful quality of altruism. Being such warm, good-natured people, ISFJs are willing to let things slide, to believe that things will get better soon, to not burden others by accepting their offers of help, while their troubles mount unassisted. I have been told many times that I'm too nice lol. It can be a serious curse. Combine this with my ISFJ inability to say no, and I find myself taken advantage of often. It's been very rare that I've felt my needs and wants were taken care of. I also give people waaaaaay too many chances to change. I want to believe they can. That they just need the opportunity to prove me wrong. Over and over. I really can't help it. I truly believe the situation WILL change, and if I don't give someone the opportunity to prove they have changed, then I'm being close minded and judgmental.
ISFJ personalities (especially Turbulent ones) are often meticulous to the point of perfectionism, and though they procrastinate, they can always be relied on to get the job done on time. ISFJs take their responsibilities personally, consistently going above and beyond, doing everything they can to exceed expectations and delight others, at work and at home.

I am yet another student of that historical period who sees the integral cause as racial, not money or states' rights. Yes, most wars have ties to money and rights. But no nation fights a long, bloody war over money. Think about it. The poorer entity would quickly lose. Cartels and gangsters go to battle over money.
It is a huge mistake to believe that the Civil War was not fomented by slavery. The Founding Fathers actually tabled the issue of slavery to keep the Constitutional Convention from collapsing, so eager were they to have all states sign the Constitution.
Furthermore, in their private writings, Washington, Jefferson and Adams despaired that their efforts to create a democratic nation might not last even 100 years due to the evil of slavery, a contradiction to the principles they were establishing. At that point they hoped for a miracle -- perhaps an Abraham Lincoln.
Eugene Robinson was right, in my educated opinion, that this nation could never have succeeded as a purveyor of slavery. While slaves were essential to the South's economy (money?), far too many citizens, in both South and North, harbored deep-seated loathing for slavery -- owning other human beings. I myself would have fought for this principle.
How can Mr. Loper say, "President Lincoln was not that concerned about slavery"? History does not support that statement. Americans should know that a deal-breaker (slavery) was challenged and abrogated, demonstrating our capability to self-correct. Jefferson wrote, "We can tolerate error in judgment as long as we have the freedom to choose our path."

The end of the world may be coming, but Prime Minister Julia Gillard is relieved that at least she won't have to appear on Q&A again.
Ms Gillard has recorded a short video for Triple J's breakfast show, as part of their "end of the world" celebrations. The world is supposed to end on December 21, according to interpretations of the Mayan calendar.

Gillard: Demonic hell beasts?
Prime Minister Julia Gillard turns her hand at comedy as she records a skit for a radio show warning of the end of the world.
"My dear remaining fellow Australians," Ms Gillard begins in the clip. "The end of the world is coming. It wasn't Y2K, it wasn't even the carbon price."
The Prime Minister took time out from her preparations for Friday's COAG standoff to film the clip in Melbourne on Tuesday.
The jokes were a joint effort between the radio station and Ms Gillard, thus explaining the mix of pop culture references and political spin.
"Whether the final blow comes from flesh eating zombies, demonic hell beasts or from the total triumph of K-pop, if you know one thing about me it is this: I will always fight for you to the very end," Ms Gillard says in solemn tones.
Finishing the video, the Prime Minister observes: "At least this means I won't have to do Q&A again."
Ms Gillard's 46-second video has been getting a mixed reaction online.
Some viewers have expressed concerns about the Prime Minister "wasting" taxpayer's money by filming the lighthearted zombie clip. "[I] want my tax back" adamNOTeve said.
But others could see the funny side.
"If Tony Abbott has the time to sit in a truck for two days for no apparent reason other than to score cheap points from a problem the Howard government did very little to solve then I think we can forgive Julia for taking five minutes from her day to do something like this," missvantango said.
Or as another punter observed: "Go Jules!! You went up a giant notch for this ... And personally, I hope it's zombies."
It is understood Ms Gillard only needed three quick takes to film the clip -a far cry from her predecessor's infamous problems with the recording process.

GM to launch 2009 Chevrolet Traverse in Q3Enlarge Photo
The Traverse will be built at GM's Spring Hill plant in Tennessee and according to the carmaker's NA sales Chief, Mark LaNeve, who spoke recently with the Detroit Free Press, sales numbers for the vehicle could be as high 100,000 units per year.
GM's other crossover models have been well received. Monthly sales for the new Outlook and Arcadia have more than doubled since the beginning of last year. Their popularity has been increasing mostly because they offer owners a vehicle with car-like dynamics and fuel-efficiency but with the interior space of traditional SUVs, highly sought after traits in a world of rising fuel prices and increasingly congested cities.

Spain to outline Bankia plan, may announce bailout size
The Spanish government is set to outline on Wednesday its plan to restructure the recently nationalised Bankia and announce how much additional money it will pump into the ailing lender, government sources told Reuters on Tuesday.
One of the sources said talks on the size and form of the bailout - through loans, equity or cash injection - were being held between the economy ministry, the Bank of Spain, Bankia and Goldman Sachs, which was hired last week to value the lender.
A final decision may not be made before Economy Minister Luis De Guindos address a parliamentary committee at 1600 GMT to inform on the take-over of Bankia and the restructuring plan for the lender, although he will want to give key details of the government's strategy, the source said.
"De Guindos will present the main elements of the plan to the parliament. His intention is to also give a figure but the talks are not finished yet," the source said.
A second source said De Guindos was very likely to announce the final taxpayers bill of Bankia's rescue.
Spanish banks have been weighing heavily on Spain's public finances and many analysts fear Madrid will be forced to seek international aid to recapitalise them. The government has denied any such possibility in many occasions.
Spain last week injected 4.5 billion into Bankia and its parent company BFA (Banco Financiero y de Ahorros). The bank will need more funds to fully clean up bad loans and rotten assets from a decade-long real estate bubble that burst four years ago, analysts say.
The government is expected to lend or give Bankia, Spain's 4th-biggest lender, about 10 billion in additional aid, although bank analysts believe it will need more.
De Guindos on Monday said Bankia needed to find about 7.5 billion by the end of year to comply with two financial reforms presented by Spain's centre-right government in February and last week.
It also needs to raise about 1.3 billion by June to meet stringent European Banking Authority capital rules.
Several financial and government sources told Reuters last week that the strategy of the Spanish authorities would be to clean up, downsize and sell Bankia within 3 years.
The plan could however derail if the several capital gaps identified in the accounts by the lender's auditor Deloitte were too large, the sources said.

Big Chair is back on Dec. 1November 24,2012BENNINGTON On Dec. 1, the owners of LaFlammes, a furniture store at the intersection of Harwood Hill and Northside Drive, will unveil the new Big Chair, an almost 20-foot tall ladderback chair.
After purchasing the building, Christopher LaFlamme promised to place the new chair outside the building where a similar chair stood for about 40 years when it was the Haynes & Kane Furniture Store. The chair was believed to be the largest of its kind when it was built in the 1960s but it was dismantled 12 years ago for safety reasons.
To celebrate the return of the landmark chair, LaFlammes is planning a party and an official unveiling on Dec. 1 at 11 a.m. with live music, food for sale, a free door prize raffle and in-store promotions. Replica chairs will be available free with any purchase of $100 or more.
Fans of the chair are encouraged to bring in photos of the original.
Everyone who brings in a picture will be entered into a contest for a special prize.
Jensens Restaurant in Bennington had the sign placed on the original chair, proclaiming it the Worlds Tallest Ladderback Chair, and the restaurants owner, is donating the sign back for placement on the new chair.
Several special guests and dignitaries will participate in the unveiling and the public is invited to attend.
