he last fading warmth of the sun illuminated the top third of the shear face of the towering basalt cliff on the opposite shore. This same gigantic stone bulwark would keep the Deschutes in the shade until noon tomorrow morning. Now the shade from the lower canyon wall to the east made me rush through the dry grass to the smooth ledge studded tailout above camp. I had left Brad and Al in the camp riffle water where they had been moving Steelhead all afternoon. They didn't need my help or criticism.
My side of the river broke along a brush covered bank so steep that the rail road was literally over head. Part way down the run a huge red alder leaned out over the water, its lower limbs nearly touching the surface. I had rowed by this place dozens of times and it was always deserted. It looked like great holding water, but formidable to fish with a fly. My confidence had never equaled my curiosity...until this afternoon.
I stopped just down stream of the alder and surveyed the river from a high vantage point on an old deer trail twenty feet above the water. I decided that the water above the alder looked too tough for the time I had left before dark. I would start just below the tree. Then there was a huge splash as a Steelhead rolled upstream of the alder. A fish you have located is always the best option.
A short hike and climb down the steep grade brought me to the waters edge twenty feet upstream of the fish. A narrow submerged ledge gave me footing three feet off the bank. I stripped ten feet of bright floating fly line from the reel, checked the leader and the hook point on my size four Street Walker. Everything was in perfect order. A brisk roll cast shot the fly forty five degrees down stream across the current. The line and leader landed straight. The fly came under tension as it entered the water. I let the fly lead the rod tip. The fly swung with a very light touch and gentle action. It had moved two feet when there was a very positive pull that increased until it was moving line from the reel. I raised my hand and let the middle of the rod absorb the shock and drive the hook deep into solid bone. The silver fish writhed to the surface and exerted his power against the screaming drag until he had reached mid-river in front of me. The fight was ferocious but over quickly and the bright ten pound hatchery buck was tailed, revived and released. The barbless hook had been stuck through the edge of the upper pallet, like a nail in a hard wood plank, the point protruding from above the middle of the maxillary. I re-surveyed the water in front of me. I had been so focused on the placement of that fish and the strike had come so quickly I hadn't taken the time to read the water. The surface of the water was greasy slick but moving at a good speed clear across the river. In places the underwater ledges broke the surface with flat seamy boils. The nearest ledge was sixty feet in front of me above the alder. The stream side brush nearly touched my back and was higher than my head. Leaning out from my purchase on the narrow ledge I could expect no more than five feet of clearance for a back loop to form my roll cast.
Darkness was fast approaching and didn't give me much time to deliberate. I started with the same cast that took the fish. Then lengthened the line one three foot pull for the next cast. The fly slid down current as it was hanging under the alder below me. The strike came as I was lengthening the line for the forth cast. The fish took just as I was starting to lift the line for my upstream haul. It took the fly as it turned down stream and jerked the rod tip a foot under water as it erupted through surface. The shock was too much for the ten pound tippet and the Street Walker probably decorated that eight pounder's jaw for most of the evening. The encounter left me in the vacuum that follows a peak surge of adrenaline.
The whole tippet was gone. The leader had parted at the blood knot. I fumbled for my tippet dispenser and unrolled two feet of hard Maxima, figuring that a short stiff tippet would turn over better in the failing light. The fish had taken my last Street Walker and I replaced it with a size two low water Undertaker. The sleek dark pattern had proven itself many times in the fading light. The same water was covered in the same manner as before but, as I extended the cast to longer range I found out that I had to make repeated small upstream mends to maintain the proper fly speed as it came across on a slow arc. The next strike came fifteen feet straight out beyond the alder. It was a gentle pluck and still pumped up from the encounter with the fish that took my fly, I over-reacted and the hook instantly came free.
Four casts later and the fly was nearly to the ledge. The line tightened gently and I dropped the rod tip. There was a perceptible pause and the line came tight with a thud. A beautiful six pound wild hen was beached after a long intense battle that I thought would leave all other residents of the area in total shock. The twilight lingered. I could see Brad standing on the low grassy point above camp. His left handed stroke barely discernible at the distance.
"Should I go and bring him here to join the fun", I wondered? He was too far away for the light remaining", I reasoned. A Night Hawk zig zagged across the river between us. " No, I would keep this little Steelhead Eden for myself tonight and bring him here in the morning."
The soft evening air was laden with the pungent sweet aroma of the sage covered desert. Again I surveyed my private piscatorial oasis.
Intermittent turbulence betrayed a possible jog in the side of the ledge facing me; a perfect cove for a Steelhead to shelter in. It was a long cast from my position and was situated almost straight across from me with no chance to swing the fly through it. I would have to cast to the top of the cove and then make a long reach mend to hold the fly in the sweet spot for as long as possible. It took several frustrating tries, but finally the fly settled into a seam of calm water between two sets of turbulence. The strike was vicious and a big Steelhead boiled the surface as he took the fly heading down stream.
The fight was long and dogged with the twelve pound buck coming to my hand in the dark.
Brad flipped the switch on the self starting lantern as I approached the cook tent.
Al peered over his finely sculptured meerschaum pipe and purred, " How'd you do, boss?" I beamed from ear to ear, "boys, have I got a place to show you in the morning."

You make plastic out of what? Ryan Smith tells all.
Someday soon we may all be drinking water out of biodegradable plastic bottles made from raw sewage. Yes, raw sewage. That is, if Micromidas has anything to do with it. Founded by 2010 Social Innovation Fellow Ryan Smith, Micromidas feeds raw sewage to bacteria that, in turn, turns it into plastic. It's an elegant solution that solves two problems simultaneously: it reduces the use of harmful petroleum-based plastics and uses sewage instead of resources like oil and coal.
Recently, PopTech asked Smith about the potential long-term impact of Micromidas.
Micromidas can play a critical role in transitioning the chemicals industry from petroleum-based feedstocks towards low-cost renewably-sourced feedstocks. There has been a great deal of discussion over the last few years about developing a biorefinery platform within the fuels and chemicals industries. I believe that Micromidas has found a pathway to achieving this ideal by efficiently taking wastewater bio-solids and converting them to commodities materials and chemicals such as plastics. We're also very proud of the fact that our bio-plastic is marine biodegradable and can help prevent further pollution of our oceans.
So those plastic islands floating in the middle of the ocean that amount to the size of Texas? Micromidas won't be contributing to that problem. Its plastics break down within one year.

Mindfulness is not a one time proposition. Even though I know that, I fatefully resist taking the time more often than I should.
And I pay the price.
With distractedness.
With some anxiety.
With irritability.
With getting wrapped up in my own thoughts.
With ineffective responses to stress.
Mindfulness. What is it?
In my Aggression Reduction classes, a key to reducing the hostile reactions often accompanying anger is mindfulness. So what does mindfulness mean?
Simply – and it is simple – it is stopping and noticing –
Noticing what is going on in your body.
Noticing what your mind is telling you.
Noticing your surroundings.
Noticing what you smell, what you taste, what you see, what you hear.
Noticiing your breath, breathing into the anger, not away from it.
And noticing that whatever is going on that the part of you that notices is safe.
Simply noticing.
Here. Now.
Without judgment.
How Does Mindfulness Work to Aid Anger Flexibility
As I describe it anger (and other strong emotions) are anxious reactions to invisible saber toothed tigers. When life presents us with situation that are not to our liking, as far as our brains are concerned, we are up against a saber toothed tiger.
It seems that society (supposedly) has advanced much more quickly than our brains have evolved. That three pound mystery that we carry around in a case on top of our shoulders is in place to do one major thing – to keep us alive and reproducing. So, it senses danger, often perceived danger, very quickly.
Our Inner Nut
When we sense something like this, the message goes directly to a couple of little dingleberries hanging off the bottom of our brain's limbic system. They are called the amygdala (amygdalae?). Amygdala simply means "almond shaped."
So think of it like this. When we come up against one of these perceived saber toothed tiger events, our own inner nut takes over, and if we react poorly to that, we may act in ways that are decidedly unproductive – maybe even dangerous.
Our minds can sometimes be our own inner bad neighborhood. It doesn't make sense to go in there unarmed.
Soothing the Savage Almond
The part of our brains that are in charge of soothing the savage amygdala is the part of our brain that provides our ability to think, reason, make healthy choices and such. The trouble with this scenario is that because of our relationship with multiple forms of media, multitudes of opinions that are thrown at us every day, and the very fact that we use language as the tool for communicating, even the neocortex can become confused, convoluted, and all corked up in numerous ways.
Mindfulness does two things for the brain as a remedy for these difficulties.
Sitting and Noticing
First, when we sit quietly and notice what is happening – as we notice our internal processes from a step away – we begin to separate ourselves from the power of our incessant mind-chatter. It doesn't go away but we see our thoughts and feelings for what they are, simply thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness takes us from being our thoughts and feelings to seeing our thoughts and feelings.
The NeoCortex is the Hall Monitor for the Amygdala
Next, at the same time, mindfulness has been shown to grow the neocortex and to make it stronger. It's pretty powerful stuff. Some studies have shown that a mindfulness practice can cause noticeable brain changes in the first week or two.
To get you started you can download free mindfulness .mp3s. They are from the Meditation Awareness Research Center at the UCLA Semel Institute. Just click this link to get there. Did I mention they are free?
Remember, though, that this is a practice, no a one shot deal. If you can set aside 20 or so minutes to sit quietly, notice your breath, and begin to notice the chatter – and identify it – you may see that it is possible to use your brain to influence your brain.

Any ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2nd-May 6th)?
Member Added on May 6, 2011
Update: My daughter had found a beautiful hanging basket of flowers that she wanted to give to her teacher, so we got the flowers and a nice card. BUT, I fell in love with the flower pot pen bouquet and we made those for Grandma and Nana for Mother's Day. They turned out so nice that we are going to make another for ourselves to leave in the "classroom" at home.

Ask Father Paul
Answers to your questions about life, religion and the Bible
Pastors get some of the most interesting questions from people they meet and people in their congregations. Here are a few that I have gotten during my years of ministry and for this column.
Dear Father Paul: I am a Christian, but am concerned that I might have committed "the unpardonable sin." What is the unpardonable sin, and what danger is there that I did, indeed, commit it?
Thank you. — No name please.
Dear No Name: Pastors get this question a lot, especially from Christians who worry that they might have committed a sin for which they can't be forgiven.
The fact is that there is, indeed, according to Jesus himself, a sin that is unpardonable. This is difficult for many to fathom because God's grace in the forgiveness of sin is unlimited. After all wasn't King David forgiven even though he committed adultery and murder? Wasn't Saint Paul forgiven even though he assisted in the killing of Saint Stephen? Wasn't Saint Peter forgiven even though he betrayed Jesus three times?
Jesus tells us about the "unpardonable sin" in Matthew 12 and again in Mark 3. In the Matthew 12:31-32 passage Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees who have just a few verses earlier accused him of casting out demons by the power of Satan. Jesus says this: "And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the (Holy) Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man (Jesus) will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (New International Version)
It is clear from these words of Jesus that the Pharisees had just earlier attributed the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan and were thus blaspheming (speaking untruth and contempt) about the Holy Spirit and his works. Not only were they doing this, but they were rejecting the Holy Spirit's work in their own lives as well. The Holy Spirit was saying to these men, "What you have just seen in your very presence is the work of the Holy Spirit (God) … this Jesus standing right in front of you is God's son." But the Pharisees were saying, "This is not God. This is Satan's agent."
Obviously merely saying an unkind thing about the Holy Spirit, bad as that is, is not an unpardonable sin. But the Pharisees went much, much further than just that. They called the Holy Spirit of God Satan, and they attributed the Holy Spirit's work to the works of Satan. That is the point at which their words became unforgivable.
All of us thus need to be careful about what we say. For example, much of the work of the Holy Spirit today, especially the working of the nine "Gifts of the Holy Spirit" found in 1 Corinthians 12, is seriously misunderstood by many believers. That is understood and forgiven by God. But I recently heard a first hand report about a pastor who stood in his pulpit and called one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit "Hog Wash." It literally broke my heart to hear this. I am not sure what seminary this gentleman graduated from or from what Bible he got that idea. Moreover, I certainly am not God, so it is not my place to judge him. He is probably a very fine gentleman and pastor, and I don't think he has committed the unpardonable sin, but he came awfully, awfully close, at least for my comfort level.
All of which proves the wisdom in the old saying that, "If you don't know what you are talking about, you should just keep quiet."
If you (or anyone) truly loves God, hates sin and wants to obey God's commands, then it is very unlikely that you have committed the unpardonable sin. If a person today has committed the unpardonable sin it is likely that he has become an enemy of God, has reviled and mocked the works of God (the Holy Spirit) and has become so depraved that he has knowingly and purposefully attributed the works of God to Satan.
Do you have a question? Email me at email@example.com and I will try to answer your question in the paper.

For the first time in several years, the Detroit Pistons have a heap of cash to work with.
They enter the offseason with somewhere between $20-$25 million in salary cap space.
And while most teams' fans would be excited at this prospect, the Pistons faithful know better. The last time they entered free agency with this much cash in hand they ended up with the disappointing Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva.
Like that season, this season's free-agency crop is largely flawed. There are some big names, some underrated role players and some guys who are right in the middle.
A large part of the future success of this team depends on how team president Joe Dumars spends his cash.
Here are five free-agent targets that the Pistons must avoid.

This week RepairLabshas access to two exclusive iPhone 5 rumors, and as your favorite iPhone repair company, we're bringing them to you.
An inside source at Texas Instruments tells us that they have begun production on the iPhone 5 power management chip. We can also confirm that management inside Texas Instruments is calling the next phone the iPhone 5. Previously when production began on the Apple iPhone's chips at TI, the phone debuted just a few months later. This fits in with our next rumor.
From the same Chinese source that brought us the accurate pictures of the new iPad back housing and new iPad glass, comes the latest rumor that the iPhone 5 will debut in September. According to our source, they have also been told that the screen will indeed be larger than the current 3.5 inch model. Whether it will be as large as the 4.6 inch rumors we have yet to confirm.
While we can confirm the production of the power management chips, which means a new iPhone is imminent, bear in mind that the September release date and screen size are rumors. However, our source has proven extremely reliable in the past.
Curtis is one of the lead public technical advisors for all personal electronics. With a burning passion for not only bringing you the most informative articles, but also for his websites RepairLabs and Fix-iPhones.com. His proudest achievement though is Op:HERO -- a program dedicated to making each repair help overcome.

• Hydraulic characteristics of pteridophyte (fern and Selaginella ) foliage were investigated to determine whether the processes of water conduction and water loss are coordinated in these early vascular plants similarly to angiosperms. • Eight species of pteridophytes and associated woody angiosperms were examined from the sun and shade in a seasonally dry tropical forest. • Maximum leaf hydraulic conductivity ( K leaf ) in the four pteridophytes was within the range of the sampled shade angiosperms but much lower than that of the sundwelling angiosperms. Hydraulic conductivity of both angiosperm and pteridophyte leaves showed a similar response to desiccation, with K leaf becoming rapidly depressed once leaf water potential fell below a threshold. Stomatal closure in angiosperms corresponded closely with the water potential responsible for 50% loss of K leaf while pteridophytes were found to close stomata before K leaf depression. • The contrasting behaviour of stomata in this sample of pteridophytes suggest that this may be an intrinsic difference between pteridophytes and angiosperms, with lower safety margins in angiosperms possibly enhancing both optimization of gas exchange and xylem investment.

Tired of vinaigrettes, looking for new salad dressings
I eat lots of salads and bowls. I'm getting tired of vinaigrettes and paying for overpriced bottled dressings. I'm looking for your best salad dressing recipes. More specifics after the jump. [more inside]
I came here to buy Ceasar... not to overpay for him.
Okay, so I have a friend in Austria who looooves Ceasar salad dressing. (I used to smuggle it in my suitcase from America when I'd visit her.) As a surprise little "I'm thinking about you" gift, I've been thinking of mailing her a bottle or some salad dressing mix, but I just can't figure out how to do it at a reasonable price... German Amazon is asking for $28 to send a $5 bottle of Cardini's to Vienna. Anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks! :D
Best Caesar Salad Dressing
What bottled Caesar salad dressing should I buy at the grocery store to most closely approximate the awesome Caesar salads I get at good restaurants? [more inside]
Long live Ceasar!
My salad wants to be dressed to impress. Save my Ceasar salads' soul, Mefites. Ceasar salad is so oOold school. Shake up my Ceasar salad dressing with some truly twisted, exotic, unexpected tastes and ingredients while remaining somewhat true to the modern interpretation consisting of egg, parmesan, olive oil, mayo, mustard, lemon, anchovy, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Thats 'modern' Ceasar to me. I know the 'original' was a far cry from this more or less standard list of ingredients in the current modern interpretation. Be wild... be creative! Lets rock Caesars world. [more inside]

We're now fully into year eleven of Nike SB and its game-changing dunk and the latter half of 2012 has several classically styled drops in store, some of which reach even further back into the past. The red suede Nike SB Dunk Low that hides in the back of this preview looks like a fresh take on the 'Team Red' Dunk Low Pro B that's widely recognized as a timeless classic. You get a similarly simple appeal on each of the other three designs, all of which are entirely suede, a dark teal and black version of which is most certainly going to draw comparisons to Futura's 2003 Nightshade and Shark design. Check them out after the jump, let us know which pair you're most excited to see arrive for FW12 and stick with Sneaker News for release info. via Provider

So glad I "checked em out after the jump" only to find that it's the exact same picture! Get your shit together SN!
This pic makes me sad.
I'm mad the last 2 are the best.
Always hopeful for Nike sb releases. And it always pains me to see the mediocre concepts and colors they produce...
They are pretty dull.
looks like some GR sbs
u guys r sayin the 2nd ones arent fire? WTF?
do not want
SB Dunk GRs have been average for a while now. Nothing stands out like Aquas or Loons did. On the other hand Kostons and Janoskis have been all kinds of dope recently.
nike sb is dead and its been dead for a while
only suede or nubuck??
what happen to leather?
dey iight
i wish there was a thumbs down on here NIKE SB- you need to get it together!! shiyat-
what happened to that red pair w/ the white swoosh and icey sole?
...they're in the picture. idjit

Figure. No caption available.
Denise L. Pease, age 57.
When were you diagnosed with epilepsy? I suffered what I thought was a minor head injury during a car accident in 1995. In the following months, I lost my ability to read, write, and speak effectively. After two years, I was finally diagnosed with epilepsy. Before the accident, I was one of New York State's Deputy Superintendents of Banks. I quickly became a candidate for an adult-care facility.
Speaking to you now, I would never know that. How do you manage your condition? I found a great epileptologist—Dr. Martha Morrell—and together we found the right anti-seizure medication for me. Dr. Morrell encouraged me to join the Epilepsy Foundation (epilepsyfoundation.org ), which has been an important part of my recovery. They connected me with support groups and helped me get involved in raising awareness and money for research. Today I sit on their national board, and I am back in the workforce.

What is in this article?:
- Higher wheat yields and better breeding to follow genome mapping?
- Was UG99 a driver behind the research?
- Did that happen because of breeding through the centuries?
- Higher yields and better breeding of wheat – which accounts for some 20 percent of the earth's population calorie intake -- are promised in the wake of researchers recently unlocking the genome of the crop.
More About:
Was UG99 a driver behind the research?
"No, it really wasn't driven from a particular agricultural problem. It was driven from the standpoint that having this basic information would help breeders with any problem they approach. It will provide them with more detailed markers within the genome to help them evaluate sensitivity – or resistance in the case of rust.
"So, the reasons for getting into the research were broader.
"I'm a chemistry and computational guy – not a breeder. But, in general, when people do crosses they'll identify strains that are more or less resistant. Being able to more precisely understand the mechanisms of that in terms of what genes are involved and where they are.
"One of the things the study did is provide a good, although not perfect, view of the wheat genome. It's certainly the best view we have so far.
"That will help identify the genes contributing to resistance. It will also provide around 100,000 markers for more precise mapping locations within the genome when crosses are made. That way breeders can tell which component genome is present in each of the crosses."
Did the sheer size of the genome surprise you?
"We actually knew that going in.
"To be candid, I was surprised it worked as well as it did. I knew it was a tremendous challenge and we'd get a pretty good, valuable view of the total gene content. The work done by the computational people, particularly in Germany, really gave a much better view of the genome.
"Wheat is a hexaploid genome, so it came from three precursor diploid genomes about 10,000 years ago when it was domesticated. The computational team was able to do a much better job than I expected at separating the three copies of each of the genes. They compared the diploid relatives of the wheat and other species.
"I knew that would work somewhat – it was a great idea. But the success they had was marvelous."
Wheat has five times the amount of DNA in the human genome?
"The weed we worked with in the 1990s has about 135 million bases. Rice has about 400 million bases. Humans and corn are both, roughly, around 3 billion bases.
"Wheat has about 16 billion bases. So, it's much bigger than the human genome. The fact that it has three copies of a related 5 billion base genome that was hybridized to domestic wheat was a real technical challenge to separate those out computationally.
"The other thing that was difficult with the wheat genome is that about 80 to 90 percent is made up of repeats of a relatively small number of sequences. Those are very difficult to deal with computationally, as well."

Avinoam Hen stood in his dark living room, looking through a sliding glass door.
"This whole backyard was once filled with young people, jumping off the roof into the pool, barbecuing steaks every weekend. I used to build a huge sukkah every year and invite half the neighborhood over for the holiday. We had everything we could want."
His broad shoulders slumped. "Now, it's all gone."
Avinoam, 56, and his wife, Rachel, 62, came to the United States from Israel 20 years ago with three young children and the typical immigrant dream of a financially comfortable, sunny life in Southern California.
Avinoam ran a successful automotive parts business, the family bought a four-bedroom house with a pool in Chatsworth, and the children thrived in their new surroundings after getting through the initial struggle of adjusting to life in America. When the Northridge earthquake hit in 1994, the family considered moving back to Israel, but the children were adamant about staying in California. "We were that happy here," Avinoam said.
Then, on July 4, 2002, the Hens' world came crashing down. Their 25-year-old daughter, Victoria, was shot and killed in a terrorist attack while on duty as an El Al ticket agent at Los Angeles International Airport. Four months later, tragedy hit again when their 18-year-old son, Nimrod, died of complications resulting from a car accident a mile from their home. Less than a year after that, Avinoam was brutally attacked by a dog, broke both his hands and had to be on disability for nearly a year.
Avinoam's business declined and they refinanced their home several times to stay afloat, with the result that the Hens soon found themselves faced with an adjustable- rate mortgage that raised their payments by more than 50 percent. Hoping that new housing legislation passed by the Obama administration would bail them out, they stopped making mortgage payments in October 2008 to qualify for a loan-modification program. Their application was denied, and they are now fighting to save their Chatsworth home from foreclosure.
In February, the couple received a temporary reprieve from Wells Fargo, which is acting as the servicing agent for an undisclosed private lender — who has so far denied the Hens' application for a loan modification.
The reprieve was arranged by Raffi Tal of i Short Sale Inc., who along with Eli Tene, CEO of i Short Sale, has continued to work on the Hens' behalf to try to get their loan modification approved so the family will have some time to stabilize their finances. Tene also contacted Congressman Howard Berman to solicit his help, and Berman, according to Tal, both wrote a letter and called the CEO of Wells Fargo Bank on the Hens' behalf.
Berman also contacted a director in the U.S. Treasury Department for assistance, Tal said. And less than two hours after Berman contacted Wells Fargo, Tal received a phone call from the bank's executive office saying that they were working on finding a solution. No final agreement has been reached yet, but the bank has expressed a commitment to working out a feasible arrangement for the Hens, according to Tal.
To visit the Hens' home is to see a shrine to their lost life — which makes it unimaginable that they should have to leave.
"I can't imagine losing this house," Rachel Hen said, running her fingers over photographs of her deceased children, which hang in her dining room. "It's all I have left of them."
Every corner of the Hens' modest four-bedroom house is a memorial to Victoria and Nimrod: The walls are covered with their photographs, shelves are cluttered with mementos, their rooms remain exactly as they were the day each died.
"This is the bathing suit she wore on Wednesday, right before she went to work," Rachel said, picking up a blue-and-white striped bikini, now yellowed, on Victoria's dresser. A 3-foot-long El Al model airplane, signed by Victoria's co-workers, dominates the small bedroom.
The sheets on Nimrod's bed are the same sheets he slept on the day before his car accident; parts of the model cars he loved to assemble are scattered on his desk. Two hookah pipes sit on a coffee table in his bedroom, where he liked to entertain friends. A high-school graduation photo shows Nimrod in his cap and gown, arm around Victoria, his beautiful, dark-haired sister. Five months after the photograph was taken, the siblings were together again, buried next to one another at Eden Memorial Park in Mission Hills.
The Hens' one remaining child is Udi, the middle child. Now 31, he moved out of the house a year and a half ago. His father said Udi was no longer able to bear the grief permeating the house and the burden of consoling a perpetually tearful mother and a bitter, angry father.
For the past eight years, the Hens have not only dealt with sorrow and loss, they have also struggled with feelings of resentment, abandonment and injustice. For many years they pursued lawsuits related to their children's deaths: They charged that the lack of security at LAX on the day of the attack was negligent and criminal — it was the first Fourth of July after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and security should have been heightened.
Their lawyer at the time cited "unsafe and dangerous" security conditions at the airport and inadequate medical care in the wrongful death of Victoria, according to a January 2003 Jewish Journal article.
A federal judge dismissed multiple lawsuits for a total of $87.5 million filed against the city of Los Angeles by the Hens and the family members of the other victims — 46-year-old Yaakov Aminov also died that day at the hands of Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, a 41-year-old Egyptian national. Several others were injured. The judge ruled that the families were not due any compensation because California law grants immunity to public agencies for failure to provide adequate police protection.
"The case was run like the Mafia," Avinoam said, his voice rising with still-hot anger. "I wasn't given the chance to speak; information was swept under the rug; my lawyer was mysteriously disbarred and disappeared. This was not justice."
Avinoam spent years and $400,000 pursuing the lawsuit, investigating every detail of the attack and its aftermath, going so far as tracking down Hadayet's wife in Egypt to ascertain the motives behind the terrorist's brutal attack.
In Nimrod's case, they believe his death was caused by poor care at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Woodland Hills, and they also charged the hospital with negligence. The day of their son's accident, they said, doctors assured them that his surgery would be routine and that he would be fine. "They told us that within six months he'll be playing soccer again," Rachel said, tearing up. "The next day he was dead."
A spokeswoman from the hospital said Nimrod was declared brain dead, according to a November 2002 Los Angeles Times story. His death may have been caused by a fat embolism, a condition similar to a blood clot that sometimes occurs with serious injuries, officials said at the time. When the Hens sued Kaiser, they also lost.
For years, politicians — both local and Israeli — including L.A. mayors, congressmen and consuls general have promised the Hens legal and financial assistance that has not materialized into anything substantial.
"We've met every Israeli consul that has come through Los Angeles," Avinoam said. "They all sit and listen politely, but the moment we walk out their door, they forget about us."
The Hens say they feel abandoned and forgotten by the Jewish community, as well. Initially there was a flood of support and condolences, but that ended, and the family was left to deal with their sorrow and mounting financial distress on their own. In addition to their mortgage woes, Avinoam's online auto parts business is struggling, Rachel has not been able to hold a job for years, and the couple can't afford health care.
They speak very highly of The Jewish Federation and the financial, psychological and social aid it provided in the past, but even that resource has dried up in recent years. Friends have slowly disappeared, uncomfortable with the somber atmosphere of the house, the Hens said. Visitors are infrequent, and interactions with the outside world are minimal. Rachel said she rarely leaves the house these days.
"We want people to realize the injustices that we have suffered," Avinoam said. He is insistent on getting their story out and is considering writing a book about their ordeal.
"I promised my daughter the day she died that I would seek justice for her, and I will. The battle we are fighting today is about the house, but that doesn't mean that I've given up on the war for justice."
Rachel said she often turns to God for solace. "I ask God, 'Haven't we suffered enough?' " she said. "The only things we have left to hope for are to save this house and to see Udi happy. I pray every day for my one remaining child to be safe and happy."

FILLING THE GAPS IN U.S. HOMELAND SECURITY: A To-Do List for the U.S. Government to Keep America Safe from Terrorism
September, 2003
Terrorism, Freedom, and Security: Winning without War
In Terrorism, Freedom, and Security, Philip Heymann continues the discussion of responses to terrorism that he began in his widely read Terrorism and America. He argues that diplomacy, intelligence, and international law should play a larger role than military action in our counterterrorism policy; instead of waging "war" against terrorism, the United States needs a broader range of policies. Heymann believes that many of the policies adopted since September 11 -- including trials before military tribunals, secret detentions, and the subcontracting of interrogation to countries where torture is routine -- are at odds with American political and legal traditions and create disturbing precedents.

Countering Terrorism: Dimensions of Preparedness
By Robyn Pangi, Former Research Specialist, Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness, International Security Program and Arnold Howitt, Senior Advisor, Ash Institute
The United States now knows that it is vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In Countering Terrorism, experts from such disparate fields as medicine, law, public policy, and international security discuss institutional changes the country must make to protect against future attacks. In these essays, they argue that terrorism preparedness is not just a federal concern, but one that requires integrated efforts across federal, state, and local governments.

US Should Let Italy Jail Abu Abbas

this and your other novel both have to do with sui.ci.de. I liked this story, and when i read that Fern had committed sui.c.i.de, i felt this dark void, which must've been what Ruby was feeling at that moment. The poem was the best finishing touch, *though it confused me how Fern could be saying that after killi.n.g herself BECAUSE she felt unloved* but I'll decide to let that thought go.

Personnel Security (10 CFR Part 710)
On March 5, 2014, an Administrative Judge issued a decision in which he determined that an individual's access authorization should not be restored. In reaching this determination, the Administrative Judge found that the individual had not resolved concerns regarding his misuse of a government issued credit card (GCC) and a false statement given to his supervisors concerning his misuse of his GCC. At the hearing, the individual presented the testimony of three supervisors and a team leader to prove that he had resolved his financial problems that led his misuse of the GCC and his overall good character. However, the individual failed to present sufficient evidence to totally resolve all concerns arising from his recent financial problems. Additionally, the Administrative Judge found that the individual had failed to present sufficient evidence to resolve his submission a false report as to the extent of his misuse of his GCC. OHA Case No. PSH-13-0125 (Richard Cronin)
On March 6, 2014, an OHA Administrative Judge issued a decision in which she concluded that an individual's access authorization should not be restored. A Local Security Office (LSO) conducted a Personnel Security Interview of the individual to address concerns about his alcohol consumption, which arose because he appeared to work twice with a high Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and admitted to being intoxicated 28 to 30 times in 2013 and driving while intoxicated ten times. The LSO subsequently referred the individual to meet with a psychologist for an examination. The DOE psychologist diagnosed the individual as alcohol dependent. After conducting a hearing and evaluating the documentary and testimonial evidence, the Administrative Judge found that the individual did not mitigate the concerns with regard to his alcohol consumption and dependency. Specifically, the individual has not yet established a pattern of abstinence as he last consumed alcohol just seven months prior to the hearing and began treatment for his dependency just five months prior to the hearing. Moreover, the Administrative Judge was concerned about the individual's judgment as he admitted to driving while intoxicated on many occasions and appeared to work with a high BAC. For these reasons, the Administrative Judge could not find that the individual resolved the security concerns related to his alcohol consumption and alcohol dependency. OHA Case No. PSH-13-0132 (Shiwali Patel)
On March 4, 2014, an Administrative Judge determined that an individual should not be granted a security clearance. In reaching this determination, the Administrative Judge found that the individual had not successfully addressed the DOE's security concerns regarding his problematic use of alcohol. Specifically, the Administrative Judge concluded that the individual had not sufficiently mitigated the DOE's concerns with derogatory information it received that the individual's alcohol consumption exceeded established standards of normalcy and had in the past resulted in three DUIs and other alcohol-related arrests. These facts led a DOE-consultant psychologist to diagnose him as suffering from Alcohol Abuse, to a degree that causes a significant defect in judgment or reliability. He also concluded that the individual's cavalier approach to complying with laws did not mitigate the DOE's concerns regarding his criminal conduct. OHA Case No. PSH-13-0121 (William M. Schwartz)
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal
On March 6, 2014, OHA issued a decision denying an Appeal filed by Bill Streifer of a FOIA determination issued by the Office of Science's Chicago Office (OSC). Mr. Streifer sought "all communications and documentation concerning Fritz J. Hansgirg's U.S. Patent #2,156,851 which was in possession of the Argonne National Laboratory prior to November 21, 1942, when Urey and Gross[e] filed U.S. Patent #2,690,379" and "all documents that may shed light on how and when Urey and Grosse learned of, obtained, and utilized Fritz Hansgirg's November 10, 1936, heavy water patent during the Trai[l], B.C. heavy water plant's design stage." OSC found no responsive documents and Mr. Streifer challenged the adequacy of its search. OHA determined, however, that OSC's search for responsive documents was adequate and reasonably calculated to locate any responsive agency records. Accordingly, OHA denied the Appeal. OHA Case No. FIA-14-0015

A dead cross marks the downturn
One of the strongest indicators that the recent market rally is set to end appeared this week when a 'dead cross' situation, which typically signals a plunge in equity prices, occurred on an index tracking the largest US companies .
For the first time in 14 months, the Dow Jones Golden Crossover US Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index's underlying data has signalled a dead cross situation. This occurs when the 50-day moving average sinks below the 200-day moving average on a selection of stocks.
When the shorter dated indicator moves below the line set by the longer time scale, it signifies that investor sentiment in the market has turned negative. A dead cross or golden cross - which signals the opposite movement - does not call the top or bottom of the market, but does indicate a likely market trend.
As a result of the latest dead cross, the Dow Jones said the index's equity allocation - a guidlne for investors using the index - was set to decrease by the end of the week from 100% to 25%. The remaining 75% would be moved into cash or short-term US Treasuries.
David Krein, senior director of product development and analytics at Dow Jones Indexes, told Financial News: "The dead cross indicates the start of a trend, but it does not highlight a specific day. It is not the end of the world for markets, but investors may want to take a more defensive position."
Jerome Booth, head of research at Ashmore Investment Management, said: "After a massive build up in leverage in the US and other parts of the developing world, there are probably several years ahead of deleveraging."
Krein said that over the past 30 years the dead cross had been one of the most accurate indicators of market movements.
The same Dow Jones index generated a dead cross signal in January 2008, approximately three months after a peak in October 2007. During this period, the index fell 11%. Since September last year, markets have been in a Golden cross situation, indicating investors were taking a bullish outlook.
In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index has risen over 16% since September last year.
On the other side of the Atlantic, commentators have also become increasingly pessimistic on the outlook for Europe.
As manufacturing PMI figures released this week fell to their lowest in two years in the eurozone, today analysts at Societe Generale said the final estimate of the region's numbers painted a "fairly grim picture of activity in August".
Valentijn van Nieuwenhuijzen, head of strategy, ING Investment Management said: "As a whole, the global economy is currently slowing down again: "This is most evident in those developed market economies characterised by household and financial sector deleveraging."

Sessler's Soapbox: Best Foot Forward
Games in this Video:Deus Ex (PC), Deus Ex: Invisible War (PC), Fallout 3 (PC), Deus Ex: Invisible War (Limited Edition Demo) (PC), Deus Ex (Game of the Year Edition) (PC)
Comments are Closed
I can certainly understand what Adam's point is, but I would have to ask for a list of games that actually meet this level of criteria. I think this truly does speak more about the individual's projection into the game than it does about the lack of good design by a company.
However, the game's beginning didn't thrill me over either. Not because I was too worried about spending talent points incorrectly, but because it didn't have that Original Gangsta feel of what I know Deus Ex to be. That was completely forgotten by the time I finished all the quests in Detroit and went to China the first time. I haven't finished yet, so the story might tank, but the feel and handling of this game is as epic as a game with the title Deus Ex needs to be.Posted: August 31, 2011 11:10 AM
I don't understand why so many people are having issues with the beginning of the game. What exactly did they spend their Praxis points on that they couldn't move forward?
I knew the moment I looked at the skill tree NOT to start spending my Praxis right away. Instead, I held on to them as I made my way through the first few sub-missions, and once I saw what I needed, I'd spend accordingly. I don't get why people jumped the gun and just started splurging on augments they didn't really need right off the bat. To me, that speaks volumes more than anything about the lack of patience people have, and their unwillingness to allow themselves to take the time to figure out the game world before deciding they know exactly how they're going to handle the game.Posted: August 31, 2011 10:15 AM
Happy Brithday Adam!
Some seem to have missed Adam's point. It is called foreshadowing in story telling, but in the real world it is called basic training. We had basic back in DX, and probably in DX:2 (but those brain cells were deleted long ago). With no ability to test out what skills are going to do, we need a very explicit description of how they are going to work in a fully immersive environment like DX:HR. We did not get that.
We do not know is what was changed between DX and DX:HR in gameplay mechanics. For example, I relied heavily on the mini-crossbow which is mostly useless in this game. I was also pretty annoyed when I discovered that a take-down costs energy. So if I cannot count on basic things like those, what are skills going to be like? The answer cannot be - test them all unless I get an early opportunity to do just that (aka in the first fifteen minutes).
Abandon all Hope, ye who do-not-hack here!
Hacking is so critical to the game that is should have been a free/automatic skill that upgraded at certain points in the game. Anything that is this critical, cannot be optional to the player. This is an Alpha level error, but one of those rare gameplay ones based on logic not coding. So if you have not played then remember this - you will upgrade hacking. If not ASAP then on the next point that you get. There are 10^16 guides on DX:HR and they all agree on this point.
Now, as for a few of the latest respondents - Adam was not talking about being spoon-fed the story at the start, that would be ridiculous. He was talking about the gameplay. You need to ease us into the basic concepts, then the intermediate, and finally the advanced gameplay mechanics, over the first few hours. Of course, if you break the gameplay by making us restart, our view of the game will seriously diminish, and we all know that leads to the darkside (and Adam's soapbox). ;)Posted: August 31, 2011 10:09 AM
First, Happy Birthday Adam.
Second, I disagree completely with everything you said in this soapbox (game related not book) and that's a first. No good RPG lays its cards on the table from the beginning and lets you know everything about the gameplay from the start. It also doesn't tell you everything about the game world at the start. Take Final Fantasy 7. This is a classic example of just jumping into a game story. There's no backstory told via a voice over or screen text. You got literally zero hints or tips when it came to menu options and the materia that you can use. Yet that is how an RPG should be because you should be allowed to experiment. I'm wondering if your argument is more tied to the fact that new games don't have as large an instruction manual anymore to give us those pages and pages of backstory and menu explanations and so the feeling is those games are required to give us that information right at the start.
Third, I don't understand why people are complaining and making such a deal about the augmentation system. It worked perfectly. One, you can read the description of every augmentation and what it does. Two, each auqmentation is its own tree so I'm not required to spend unnecessary points to get the skill I want. Three, you gain a Praxis Point every 5,000 xp....which was a brillant move and completely different from other RPG's. Four, your weapon damage is in no way tied to augmentations so if your weapons, another brillant move to make every play style have powerful weapons. Five, why are you stealth and hack builds not getting any dermal armor? Really, you never think your going to get shot? I can understand not going in guns a'blazing but why would you not get better armor. Six, boss battles do not require combat oriented augments. You have grenades, you have mines, you have P.E.P (best tool for killing bosses quickly by the way), you have the environment (exploding barrels, CO2 bottles, water on the floor to shoot stun darts into, etc...) to use.....you can beat the bosses without being Rambofied.
I agree that the decisions can be a bit daunting and at the start of the game you have no clue which augmentations you will need to get through a scenario. But I ask you......isn't that a good thing? Don't you want to be surprised and see how your choices effect your gameplay? Why do you want to be spoiled by knowing that you need certain augments to deal with the challenges ahead? More and more we as gamers keep saying we know too much about a game before it comes out. Trailers are too revealing, cheats and spoilers get posted waaaaay to early before the general population gets a chance to play it. The age of the internet has taken away the surprise a game can give us. So when we get a game that doesn't let us know what may come of our decisions and can both punish and reward us for the choices why are we still complaining and not saying thank you instead? Does this kind of choice suspense need to go away for the sake of general game audiences or can we have a game that does the best job possible of showcasing one of the greatest truths in life....you can't know what will happen in the future so can only decide what to do in the present. That to me makes the world of this game feel alive and real and gives me that emotional attachment you pointed out so well in the last Feedback.Posted: August 31, 2011 8:37 AM
Happy Birthday Day Adam. Anyway I have no idea how you can screw up your character and have to restart. There are so many paths through each section that any augs help. Through my main play through I played stealth on Give me Deus Ex and thought that augs would be rare, well at the end of the game I was only missing 12 and of those 12 I didn't even want to waste points upgrading one them. Yeah you may not get a more useful aug earlier when it helps early on, but you can still get from point A to B easily and eventually upgrade almost everything to where it does not matter what you choose.Posted: August 31, 2011 8:22 AM
READ PEOPLE..sheesh..they describe each AUG..i didnt get the strat guide or anything and my character is a major killing machine!!Posted: August 31, 2011 7:09 AM
I think putting a gamer into the position where they're not quite sure what's down the road is a good thing. It adds a sense of mystery which i believe is essential to the first playthrough of a game. Plus I get a great sense of satisfaction when I win against a surprise that I didn't see coming.Posted: August 31, 2011 6:16 AM
This game has multiple save files in addition to latest and previous save. If you ruin your skill tree by selecting stupid things....well, actually..everything can be useful depending on how you choose to play. I knew I wanted to hack everythings and not get caught doing it so I dumped most of my early points into to hacking related trees.
I disagree with Adam here. It sound like he wants his hand held. The game explains every skill. So what if most gamers don't read.....Posted: August 31, 2011 5:48 AM
I don't have a problem with this. I'm a guy who like living with the consequences based on the choices you made. If you can change at will, important decisions you make in games loses its impact. When it comes to Deus Ex, I always save some points, just in case when I need a certain skill to get past a level and make it easier for me to hack, sneak, etc.Posted: August 31, 2011 4:00 AM
Happy Birthday Adam! Keep Up Being Awesome.Posted: August 31, 2011 2:51 AM
This game lasted 5 minutes in my xbox. If I had known most of the game would be spent crawling looking at guard's asses, and using mass effect gameplay I never would have bought it. If this was a straight up third person game, and didn't require me to crouch and again stare up the whole time I might've tried it,I'm sure the story is good but the gameplay would've annoyed the crap outta me. Ohh well lucky for me a gamestop mgr is cool dude and let me return it for full price no harm no foul, and no gamerscore screwed up...Adam lay off the high test nerd coffee..Posted: August 30, 2011 10:56 PM
Well I can say that after beating this game there isn't really a reason to worry about this. This game is meant to be mostly stealth its not COD.
I had zero combat augs and beat all the bosses no problem. Sure I had to reload a few times. Im sure they would have been easier fights if I had combat augs. But that made the fights even more fun for me.
You end up with a lot of praxis points and I definitely wasted a few but it didnt hurt my game or my fun. In other words loosen up a bit. This game is tons of fun.Posted: August 30, 2011 10:33 PM
adam it wasnt your birthday it was your manufacturing anniversary get it because they call you the sessbot 3000Posted: August 30, 2011 9:27 PM
By the way Adam Happy BirthdayPosted: August 30, 2011 8:41 PM
I have that feeling with allot of RPGs. I remember being massively into pickpocketing into New vegas. Stopped playing it for a week and came back and realized... WASTED SKILL POINTS.Posted: August 30, 2011 7:03 PM
I don't know what game you were playing Adam but there was plenty of weapon upgrade kits, like ammo capacity kits, damage upgrade kits, reload speed upgrade kits, laser sight upgrade kits. Also special weapon upgrade kits for specific weapons like exploding rounds for the revolver and a silencer for the 10mm pistol and the burst fire for the shotgun that makes it so the shotgun shoots two barrels at once and it even had a on off switch so it can be used only when necessary like boss fights. I would still rate the game a 4 out of 5 but different reasons. Like I wish the world was a bit more open and I would have liked it if everything was interactive. I get that the boxes and garbage cans were there for the sake of the gameplay, to find other routes, but when there the only thing I can ''touch'' the world starts to loose its atmosphere.Posted: August 30, 2011 6:48 PM
One thing i liked about Deadspace 2... and there was just so freaking much to love about that game, but this is one of the things i liked. You have the freedom to at any time, at a cost, retrospec your weapons. This is important because in dead space, like every game that has multiple weapons.. people are going to naturally gravitate to one to 3 weapons that just.. fit.. their play style. Its an organic thing. "This is how i will fight the hordes." And you don't really get to decide which gun you like best until you try them and find out "well this sucks... but i have already invested into it.."
What i am saying here is, when the player screws something up, make them pay. But don't make that price to be having to start all the way over because of a few bad decisions. Okay, you cannot unlearn a magic spell, or a combat technique... usually... But considering the situation where a number of this character's skills are probably based on prosthetic modifications, sorry, you can uninstall a dirver, or change out a piece of hardware. it isnt set in stone.Posted: August 30, 2011 6:33 PM
Happy birthday Adam.Posted: August 30, 2011 6:03 PM
Very truePosted: August 30, 2011 5:55 PM
The only thing I wished at times in Deus Ex was that I wished I was given two points at a time when you earned a level or praxius point. I am not sure if it would have made the game too easy but would have been nice to use some of the main upgrades which took two praxius points to originally purchased.Posted: August 30, 2011 5:40 PM

For the first time since La Crosse introduced a ban on converting single family homes into rental properties four months ago, the city denied its first applications for a waiver.
The six month moratorium was created to stop the growing trend.
The Judiciary and Administration Committee said "no" Tuesday night to applications of homes that are currently owner-occupied and not serving as rental properties.
However, the committee approved ones with renters that weren't registered as rental units with the city.
The Committee Chair says it proves the moratorium is serving its purpose by stopping the conversions and bringing properties up to code.
"A lot of landlords thought they were registered and they didn't realize that they had to go through this process, so for properties that have been rentals, and I think almost all, if not all that have gone through here have been rentals, they've just been given the waiver," said J&A Committee Chair Bob Seaquist.

i like you so much, Frank Page! (Bob, too!)
Well said! But I wonder if it's really true… I always like to tell myself that the stuff I went through as a kid made me a stronger and ultimately nicer person. Maybe it did. But maybe it would have been nice to not have a gang of young thugs try to push my face into the playground cement every day either. I'd like to think I would have been nice without that experience – and I rather doubt that I would have been particularly tempted to do that to someone else, given the same opportunity to do so. It's just not me – not even when I was a kid. I doubt you would have been a bully if you hadn't been bullied either.
I don't know if bullies are bullied at home, or just born that way, or else gets their way long enough to feel entitled to bully.
Maybe the bully that is finally bullied back would quit or get worse.
that's something to get the facts on.
Well lets see, When I complained to my mother she just said, "Well you must have done something to deserve it" THAT sure did wonders for my self esteem! Put a target on my back for sure! (Husband got me therapy at 30, did wonders)
Tatenda, when I chose my on line name I thought it was cute and clever, now I find myself explaining it! I read comics in two newspapers, online at two more and Go Comics. So I'm never going to be too old! (and I refuse to GET old!!!)
I actually think your name is cute and clever, as well! Just wanted everyone else to know we're never too old to be a kid!
Good thinking, except that bullies don't seem to know or care that other people have feelings. I really hate that some people feel that others exist only to be their toys.
Even without the explanation, I think your online name is an ironic and apt retort to those who love to spout the admonition "act your age" at those who don't think or behave in an 'appropriately' elderly fashion. Of course, I wouldn't expect anyone who frequents Gocomics or another comics site to hold that attitude, for obvious reasons. But offline, I'm sure it's often another story.
good on ya, empathy for others is a great solution to our own personal pain because we become compassionate.
