The best American athletes don't necessarily get to stop for turkey this weekend. As two-time luge Olympian Erin Hamlin put it: "This will be Thanksgiving No. 12 spent away so it's kind of the norm now. I still Skype into dinner at home though, as long as they start eating early enough." Hamlin is far from the only American away from home this holiday. The weekend is chock-full of big-time sporting events around the world, including an alpine skiing world cup event in Colorado and additional world cup events in bobsled/skeleton, speedskating, luge, biathlon, taekwondo and gymnastics. Check out the Team USA Weekend Preview for all the details.

FIS World Cup, Nov. 29-Dec. 1, Beaver Creek, Colo.
The world's newest downhill course will be tested Friday by the Best in the World U.S. women's speed team and some of the best skiers from around the world in the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup at Beaver Creek, Colo. Nature Valley Raptor race week includes the downhill event Friday, super-G Saturday and giant slalom Sunday.
The Raptor venue at Beaver Creek will be host to the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and the skiers in this week's world cup tested the new run for the first time Tuesday.
"It kind of has everything," said three-time Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso. "It's fast and quick, a lot of the switches are quick and there's a lot of technical turns and intimidating sections, so it's got a little bit of everything and it's pretty awesome."
Mancuso, a silver medalist in downhill at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, is a contender in the downhill. Mikaela Shiffrin, the 2013 world cup overall slalom champion, will chase after her first giant slalom medal Sunday.
Lindsey Vonn, four-time world cup overall champion, will not compete because she is recovering from a Nov. 19 training crash at Copper Mountain, Colo. Vonn injured her knee, sustained abrasions to her face and contusions to her shoulder blade.

Social Welfare Policy in an Information Age: New Vision or More of the Same?
As we move into the 21st Century, the social policy enterprise stands as the nexus between technological, political and social forces that will undermine the base that contemporary programs and policies depend upon. Assumptions about work and the workforce, the nature of governance and the role of technology will radically change. If our social welfare system is to remain relevant, changes will be needed. This paper explores these changing systems and examines how they will influence the current system. It will also speculate on the types of changes that will be necessary if social welfare is to remain relevant to the society of the future.

Chris Spohrer – an Ecologist for the SC district of State Parks – contacted me the other day to let me know about the annual migration of the Ohlone Tiger Beetles.
In Graywhale Ranch at this time of year there is an emergence of federally endangered Ohlone Tiger Beetles (OTB) along a section of the Chinquapin Trail. In order for State Parks to meet their natural resource protection mandate and provide for recreation within the park the resource staff installs a cable-guided trail detour – which takes visitors 10 feet away and parallel to the road – to protect the beetles and allow for passage of bikes, pedestrians and horses. The use of this detour actually enhances and expands suitable habitat for the OTB.
The fencing has been in effect for six years and State Parks annual surveys show that the population is healthy and increasing. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of the cable fencing was vandalized in early February. Hopefully, by letting you know that this program has been working to increase the OTB population, park visitors will respect and honor this State Parks commitment to comply with federal endangered species mandates.
We would like to thank those visitors who honor and accepting this seasonal temporary detour.

Will hospital officials heed local concerns?
To the editor:
I attended the meeting at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on May 1. First of all I thank the local people who had the courage to speak up and ask the questions that needed to be asked. Everyone who spoke did so respectfully, intelligently, and they had their facts to back up what they spoke about.
We were shown a slideshow of national and local figures, and yes, we all know that health care is in turmoil. Whether it be Obamacare or reductions in Medicare and Medicaid payments, all medical facilities are struggling. We get that; we don't need to be shown it over and over again. Our concern is our critically needed emergency room in Lake Placid.
I have tried to keep up in the paper regarding comments and concerns about this issue. What concerns me the most is the lack of input from our leaders in the community. I would like to hear from the North Elba town board, the village board, ORDA (state Olympic Regional Development Authority) and the Lake Placid Convention and Visitors Bureau as to what their views are or what our options are, if any. I guess I am looking for our leaders in elected office to tell us if our concerns and, in some cases outrage, mean anything, or are all of these so-called public input meetings just smoke and mirrors trying to ease us into the transition that Adirondack Health wants? In the end, does our input mean anything?
We heard how several programs Adirondack Health has implemented in the past few years are models for others to follow. Well I challenge Chandler Ralph and the Adirondack Health board to get a new vision and become a model for the health care system by putting patient care ahead of profit.

Unofficial DataVolley Stats * Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 7, 2011) – Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) scored 20 points to lead the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team to a 25-16, 25-13, 25-21 victory over African Champion Kenya on Tuesday morning at Toyama, Japan, to improve to 4-0 at the FIVB World Cup.
Team USA, ranked second in the world by the FIVB, is atop the 12-team FIVB World Cup standings with 12 points. Italy, the only other undefeated team in the tournament with eight points, plays Argentina (2-1, 6 points) later on Tuesday in Japan. Argentina is one of five teams which entered the second round with 2-1 records and six points.
The FIVB World Cup uses a round-robin format resulting in 11 matches over a 15-day period. The three teams reaching the World Cup medal podium on Nov. 18 will earn berths into the 2012 Olympic Games. For the full FIVB World Cup schedule and tournament details, visit the U.S. Women's tournament event page at usavolleyball.org/events/8883.
Kenya battled back from an 11-4 deficit in the opening set to close to 14-11, but the U.S. collected eight of the final 10 points for a 25-16 victory. Team USA broke a 2-all tie in the second set with eight unanswered points and cruised to a 25-12 victory. The Americans battled back from a 13-9 deficit in the third set to tie the score at 14-all, then used a key 3-0 run to take a 23-19 advantage en route to closing out the set 25-21.
"I'm very happy with the win today," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Obviously, in the World Cup, every win is important and valuable. I thought Kenya was much improved and certainly hit the ball in the court a lot and dug a lot of balls. It was not an easy match, but my team stayed focused and that was important. Now, we look to tomorrow and our next match and to keep the tournament going."
Team USA, using six new starters from its first three matches in the FIVB World Cup, continued its undefeated streak in the Olympic Games qualification tournament. Hodge, who was named the match's most impressive player by the local organizers, reached her match-high 20 points with 15 kills on 28 attacks and five blocks. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) tallied eight kills, four aces and a block for 13 points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) contributed seven kills on 12 errorless attacks, one block and one ace for nine points. Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) charted six kills and an ace for seven points. Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) recorded three blocks and a kill for four points. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) rounded out the scoring with a block.
Glass provided 25 assists in the match leading the U.S. to a 43.5 kill percent and .341 hitting efficiency (37-8-85). Meanwhile, Kenya converted just 33.0 percent of its attacks as part of a .202 hitting efficiency (31-12-94).
"First, I want to congratulate Kenya for coming out in the fourth match and always competing, and showing great energy, which shows a lot for the sport," U.S. captain Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) said. "Also, today was a big day for USA – we got us our fourth win and in this tournament every win is important. And we got to rest some players because this is a very long tournament and some players got to play that we're going to need down the road."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) provided a team-high eight digs in the victory, while Hodge added seven digs and six excellent service receptions on nine errorless chances.
McCutcheon started Glass at setter, Hodge and Barboza at outside hitter, Scott-Arruda and Tamas at middle blocker and Haneef-Park at opposite. Davis was the designated libero for the match.
Team USA dominated the service line with an 11-3 advantage in aces. The Americans, who had just 11 errors in the match to Kenya's 21, produced a slim 6-5 margin in blocks. The U.S. out-scored Kenya 37-31 on kills. Team USA held a 20-15 advantage in digs.
Kenya captain Brackcides Khadambi led her squad with 12 points, while Lyida Maiyo and Mercy Moim each collected seven points.
"Today, it was a good match and an interesting match, and the USA played very well," Khadambi said. "On my side, my team also played good – we received and attacked and tried to retrieve their spiked balls, so for us it was a good match."
In other matches later today at Toyama, Brazil (2-1, 6 points) faces Korea (0-3, 0 points) at 3 p.m. local time (10 p.m. PT on Nov. 7), followed by Serbia (2-1, 6 points) and Germany (2-1, 6 points) in a battle of two of five teams deadlocked with a 2-1 record to start the second round. China (3-1, 9 points) opened the second round with a 23-25, 25-13, 25-19, 25-18 victory over Dominican Republic (1-3, 3 points) in Hiroshima. In other matches today in Hiroshima, Italy (3-0, 8 points) takes on Argentina at 3 p.m. local time (10 p.m. PT on Nov. 7) and Japan (1-2, 4 points) hosts Algeria (0-3, 0 points) at 6:20 p.m. local time (1:20 a.m. PT).

Hodge scored three kills around a Haneef-Park ace and Kenya error to yield a 6-2 American lead in the opening set. The U.S. extended the lead to 11-4 with kills from Scott-Arruda and Haneef-Park, a Tamas block and Kenya error. Three American attack errors and a Kenya ace trimmed the deficit to 11-8. Team USA regained a 14-8 lead with a Barboza kill and Tamas block after a Kenya service error. Kenya sliced the gap to three at 14-11 with three unanswered points. After Kenya stayed close to 17-14, the U.S. scored eight of the final 10 points with Hodge scoring three kills and two aces as part of the 25-16 victory. Hodge ended the set with eight points.
The Americans earned their first lead of the second set at 3-2 on consecutive Scott-Arruda kills. Hodge added a kill prior to Scott-Arruda's third kill of the set at 5-2. Haneef-Park collected two kills around a Kenya error for an 8-2 American lead at the first technical timeout. Out of the break Hodge and Scott-Arruda slammed kills for the Americans' seventh and eighth straight points at 10-2. Hodge pocketed a kill and ace on back-to-back plays for a 12-4 margin. Consecutive Barboza kills and Haneef-Park block increased Team USA's advantage to 16-5 at the second technical timeout. Consecutive Kenya errors and a Haneef-Park ace pushed the American lead to 21-8. Kenya trimmed the deficit to 22-12 with three straight points including two American errors. Scott-Arruda served an ace after a Kenya service error to yield set points at 24-12. Barboza ended the set at 25-13 on a cross-court winner. Scott-Arruda scored five points in the set, while Hodge added four points. Team USA garnered five aces in the second set.
Kenya reached the third set's first technical timeout leading 8-7 as neither team held more than a point lead with three lead changes. Kenya reached a 10-7 advantage on an ace capping a 4-0 run going into the Americans' first timeout. Kenya increased its advantage to 12-8 following a block. Team USA sliced the gap to 13-12 with a Scott-Arruda block, Kenya error and Hodge ace. The U.S. leveled the score at 14-all with a Hodge back-row kill and Kenya error. Barboza and Hodge hammered back-to-back kills out of the second technical timeout and Barboza added an ace to yield an 18-16 American lead at a Kenya timeout. Hodge collected a kill and ace to inch the U.S. lead to 22-19. Scott-Arruda added a block as part of a 3-0 run to a 23-19 advantage. Team USA captured the match at 25-21 with a service error. Hodge tallied eight points in the set to lead the Americans.

I just saw a very desturbing movie called "Chapter 27" about Mark David Chapman and it was..i can't explain, although it wasn't entirely accurate because it showed, right after he shot Lennon a pulled out his "Catcher in The Rye" book and started reading, but in real life the gun was stille dangiling from his hand and the doorman knocked it out of his hand.
The movie scared me for personal reasons, i'm not at liberty to explain, but for some reason i developed an enquiring mind.
You heard of that old impulse where you pass by a wreck, you just have to find out more. Unfortanatly i had that impulse and i went on YouTube....I REALLY, REALLY WISH I HADN'T!! Some insensitive a$$hole, posted a video of "(Just Like) Starting Over", with 2 pics alternating: 1)That infamous shout of John signing Chapman's autograph, 2) John's autopsy pic from just a few hours later.
It's bad enough having to share a birthday with Chapman, but thos obsessive insecurites they showed him to have reminded me of myself, how i used to be.
That's why i just don't get it. I'm 38, never had a wife or a girlfriend, no woman wanted me, still live at home with my mom, bee diagnosed as having a mild form of autism called "aspergers", does it depress me, yes, but i get used to it. You don't see me blaming Paul McCartney. Seeing someone who appears to be in my shoes doing these things, killing people they hear in music or see in films & TV. Is that supposed to be therepudic?!?
I was 10 years old when that happened, and i was just introduced to The Beatles' music that year. I remember my grandma driving me to school telling me one of the Beatles was shot & killed. I can't really remember my reaction. I was still new to The Beatles.
Anyrate, i felt like i had to share this with yall. I was off the net for a while because me & my mom had a power surge, and she had to replace the Embarq box. It's running smoothly now. I wonder if any of yall wanna visit my MySpace page, just put the name "Derek Bay Roberts" from Texas and you'll find me, i just get so bored here. LATER, GODBLESS!


text: The X-ray has had its place in the sun, helping doctors diagnose all manner of breaks and blockages in patients since it was first used in the late nineteenth century. But the good has come with a dose of bad: Studies have shown exposure to the radiation required for clear pictures can lead to health problems such as cancer. That's why Jupiter Medical Center (561-263-2234) recently installed the Optima CT540, an advanced diagnostic computer tomography system. Created by GE Healthcare, the Optima CT540 uses lower radiation levels to create crisper pictures than conventional X-rays, which in turn improves diagnoses. Jupiter Medical Center is the first hospital in the country to offer the Optima CT540.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
This training is provided by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to review integrated materials and construction practices for concrete pavement. The training was developed by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University. It is the first training of its kind offered by NHI, and we would like to give special recognition to the TCCC for their efforts. This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels II - IV. This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians.
Cracks are not a problem as long as they are controlled through jointing; ideally the concrete will crack below the saw joint to relieve the stress. Uncontrolled random cracks are not aesthetically acceptable and can reduce ride quality, durability, and particularly load transfer. Early cracking in this module is defined as those cracks that occur before the concrete is open to public traffic. In this module, we will be talking about early age cracking. Primarily, why does it occur and how can it be eliminated or at least controlled?
This module is part of a curriculum from the "Integrated Materials and Construction Practices for Concrete Pavement" manual developed through the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University. The other Web-based training modules include:
FHWA-NHI-134075 TCCC Hardened Concrete Properties - Durability
FHWA-NHI-134084 TCCC Fundamentals of Materials Used for Concrete Pavements
FHWA-NHI-134085 TCCC Incompatibility in Concrete Pavement Systems
FHWA-NHI-134087 TCCC Mix Design Principles
FHWA-NHI-134096 TCCC Basics of Cement Hydration
FHWA-NHI-134097 TCCC Fresh Concrete Properties
FHWA-NHI-134098 TCCC Construction of Concrete Pavements
FHWA-NHI-134100 TCCC QCQA for Concrete Pavements
FHWA-NHI-134101 TCCC Design of Pavement
FHWA-NHI-134102 TCCC Troubleshooting for Concrete Pavements
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
This training is designed for FHWA, State, and local agencies and their industry counterparts involved in the process to assure that concrete meets all the requirements to prevent early age cracking. It is applicable to anyone desiring a better understanding of the causes and prevention of early age cracking.

- XIV asynchronous mirror
For those not using XIV behind SAN Volume Controller, [XIV now offers native asynchronous mirroring] support to another XIV far, far away. Unlike other disk systems that are limited to two or three sites, an XIV can mirror to up to 15 other sites. The mirroring can be at the individual volume, or a consistency group of multiple volumes. Each mirror pair can have its own recovery point objective (RPO). For example, a consistency group of mission critical application data might be given an RPO of 30 seconds, but less important data might be given an RPO of 20 minutes. This allows the XIV to prioritize packets it sends across the network.
As with XIV synchronous mirror, this new asynchronous mirror feature can send the data over either its Fibre Channel ports (via FCIP) or its Ethernet ports.
- Networking Gear
The IBM System Storage SAN384B and SAN768B directors now offer [two new blades!]
- A 24-port FCoCEE blade where each port can handle 10Gb convergence enhanced Ethernet (CEE). CEE can be used to transmit Fibre Channel, TCP/IP, iSCSI and other Ethernet protocols. This connect directly to server's converged network adapter (CNA) cards.
- A 24-port mixed blade, with 12 FC ports (1Gbps, 2Ggbs, 4Gbps, 8Gbps), 10 Ethernet ports (1GbE) and 2 Ethernet ports (10GbE). This would connect to traditional server NIC, TOE and HBA cards as well as traditional NAS, iSCSI and FC based storage devices.
IBM also announced the IBM System Storage [SAN06B-R Fibre Channel router]. This has 16 FC ports (1Gbps up to 8Gbps) and six Ethernet ports (1GbE), with support for both FC routing as well as FCIP extended distance support.
With the holiday season coming up at the end of the year, now is a great time to ask Santa for a new shiny pair of XIV systems, and some extra networking gear to connect them.
technorati tags: IBM, XIV, asynchronous+mirror, FCoE, FCoCEE, CEE, iSCSI, SAN384B, SAN768B, SAN06B-R

Here's how RW members rated this race (201 votes).
In short: Stunning scenery, PB potential but a bit rocky and crowded on the tow path and no directions from LondonIn full: Stunning scenery and nice community feel being such a small race. Some of the organisation could be improved though, there were no directions for those driving from London and the map didnt pinpoint the roads to take or the actual finish point / car park so we drove around for 1/2 hour trying to find it. The water at the first station was stolen apparently so we didnt get refreshment until mile 6 to 7 which made it quite thirsty work. And although the scenery was beautiful, as it was a tow path you could barely fit 2 runners to the track which made it slow going at certain points. Aside from that, I think I did a PB so shouldnt complain too much!Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: A good scenic race with a good mix of runners and not too hectic for my first half marathonIn full: down points: nightmare of one toilet in the esso station at the beginning. the queue was round the shop! water only at the half way point and again around 9 miles. Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Fantastic - loved it as much as the last one!Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Couldn't ask for much more inside the M25Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Very friendly and well organised.In full: It was very touching that the organisers made efforts to call out runners' names. The marshalls were plentiful and very pleasant.Running along the canal can be tricky with the surface uneven and slippery in places. It's also a bit boring after a while.Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Very interesting course - nice to run in a straight lineIn full: This was my first race for over 20 years but enjoyed it more than expected. Nice small race with a good atmosphere. Could have done with some toilets at start though.Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Lovely scenary in places and not at all crowded on the tow pathDate of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Nice canal route with plesant scenery and a nice group of people Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Good organisation with buses / baggage lorries and easy to marshall course. Well Done. In full: Lovely course, if a little boring after a while. Good medal, and well organised. Toilets at the start would have been good. No real grumbles. Nice race.Date of review: November 12, 2007
In short: Good race. Needs more toilets at the start thoughDate of review: November 12, 2007

Special Olympics a testiment to courage
We hope readers find time this weekend to support some great athletes.
That, of course, includes local high school teams taking to the courts, pools and mats, and the Northern Michigan University men's and women's basketball squads along with the hockey team, all of whom compete tonight and/or Saturday.
But it also includes the wonderful group of competitors taking part in the Special Olympic Winter Games 2013 in Marquette.
The 26th annual Winter Games for Special Olympians in Memory of Rico N. Zenti will be taking place this weekend in Marquette.
Today's events include downhill skiing competition at Marquette Mountain starting at 2:30 p.m. followed by a 7-9 p.m. social/dance at Marquette's Holiday Inn.
The official opening ceremonies begin promptly at 9 a.m. Saturday at NMU's Superior Dome with a parade that will include units from NMU ROTC; Knights of Columbus Honor Guard; State Farm Insurance agents; U.S. Olympic Education Center members; NMU football, hockey, soccer, volleyball and women's track teams; area high school cheerleaders; and some 140 Special Olympic athletes from across the U.P.
This moving event includes a welcome from NMU, the Invocation, Lighting of the Olympic Torch, and the recitation of the Special Olympic oath. After that, the Special Olympians will put on their snowshoes and skis for outdoor competition, or stay inside the dome for fitness events.
The man the games are named for, Dr. Rico N. Zenti, was head of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department at Northern Michigan University in the early 1970s. That was when the Special Olympic program was introduced to athletes in the Upper Peninsula and Zenti offered his full support of Northern's resources in support.
That commitment continues to this day and we're hoping the community also finds some time to get out to cheer on these athletes from Delta-Schoolcraft, Gogebic-Ontonagon, Dickinson-Iron, Eastern Upper Peninsula and the host Marquette-Alger counties who have been training all year to compete.
The motto of Special Olympics is "Let me win; but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
We salute the organizers who make this weekend happen; the volunteers who give of their time to assist; and especially the athletes who will be giving their all, being brave in the attempt.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Kyle Richardson serves as the Assistant Information Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
At the International Gaza Reconstruction Conference taking place at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, representatives from over 70 countries and international organizations have packed the main conference hall this morning. Each country's flag waves brightly in the stiff breeze outside the main door. In addition to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the participants at today's conference include French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and the host, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak who opened the first plenary session. Even as various staff aides race around the center making sure that their president or foreign minister has everything that they need, different layers of security provide a semblance of order.
The Press Filing Center is jam packed with journalists from all over the world who are huddled around television screens in three different rooms each with its own dedicated language feed piping in English, French and Arabic translations. Television cameras roam the halls capturing the controlled chaos as the print journalists listen to the opening speeches from the various heads of state hoping to get just the right quote for their stories. As one of the press officers from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, my first task this morning was to ensure that the journalists who came with the Secretary were able to get into the convention center. I am pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar faces from the Egyptian press corps and international correspondents based in Cairo in the filing center. An early crisis ensues as we realize that we have inadvertently taken space in the Arabic language room. A quick chat with the filing center deputy director and additional tables and chairs are provided to enlarge the space in the English language room ensuring that the traveling press will be able to follow the speeches.
After the opening speeches Secretary Clinton will begin a series of bilateral meetings in rooms with names like Suez and Sphinx in which she will meet with her counterparts from the Middle East and Europe to discuss the issues at hand in a more intimate setting. Cameras must be escorted to these meetings in order to take the pictures that will appear on television stations and the front pages of newspapers back in the United States. Later in the afternoon, after all of the bilateral meetings and working sessions have been completed, the Secretary will host a press conference in front of a gaggle of journalists that will number over a hundred. This will be the first opportunity for many in the Egyptian and international press to ask the Secretary a question, and as such a standing room only crowd is expected. Making sure the room is arranged just so will be the afternoon's challenge!
Patricia in California writes:
Thank you for your excellent post. It gives a sense of the time and effort it takes to ensure that the meetings go smoothly and that the positions discussed are communicated to the largest possible audience. Your post has a wonderful breathless quality to it that allows one to sense the excitement at the meeting.
SNP in Syria writes:
Someone said that Egypt is a democracy. But the guy on the right side was ruling the country since I was in High School, decades ago. Are you sure it is not a monarchy ruled by Pharos, except the ancient one subjects may had better living standard and much more freedom. When will this Ammonite age ends, it really makes no difference at this point how bad things will ends up, as long as his end comes as well. Let praises upon Akhenaton and Tutankhaten for they had known the truth about the evil work of Daniel beast Amen, Ammon, Mammon.
Robert P. in California writes:
I am very concerned that through this Gaza Reconstruction effort, U.S. tax dollars will end up in the hands of the terrorist organization Hamas. Therefore, I am not in favor of funding this project.
Sharon in Florida writes:
I am very interested in the secretary's visit to the middle east. She is a remarkable woman and I greatly admire her.
Terry in Connecticut writes:
Thanks for keeping us posted w/pics and Secretary Hillary Clinton's travels! Keep it coming.
Nancy in California writes:
What assurances will the U.S. get from the Palestinians that our aid won't be used for weapons? Does the U.S. ever demand that Israel agree to the 2-state solution if they want to continue receiving funds from the U.S.?
Brad B. writes:
Large amounts of money are to be made available for Gaza even though Hamas is still the government and even though rockets continue to fall on Israel.
Donor countries will obviously protest any future actions against Gaza that cause destruction.
The message is thus clear that Israel may be attacked at will and Israel may not respond.
Betrayal, bit by bit.
Eva in U.S.A. writes:
Surely Clinton knows this meeting is just a staged show. There is no true democracy nor freedom of press in Egypt.
Thomas in Ohio writes:
Hi This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone

"Liberal: not bound by traditional ways or beliefs."
A "liberal" then, would be a person who is open-minded, ready to listen to another point of view. "I'm not bound to any traditions; I'm open-minded. I am liberal."
Yet, recently, liberals are showing they are as close-minded as the "conservatives" they claim have it all wrong.
For instance, Mozilla's Brendan Eich was forced out as the company's leader (despite the company's strong stance on tolerance) because he had contributed to a pro-traditional marriage movement in California a few years back.
There's more. At Swarthmore College (a liberal arts college that prides itself on its "diversity of perspectives"), a student complained about a political debate between Dr. Robert P. George, a conservative, and Dr. Cornel West, a liberal, who also happen to be friends.
In reaction to the debate, one student told the student newspaper that she was "really bothered" with "the whole idea … that at a liberal arts college we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion."

Michelle Farmer has been designing jewelry since 2001, when she created custom pieces for private clients. She opened her first showroom in 2006 and now has Michelle Farmer Collaborate boutiques, featuring her jewelry plus art and fashion from select designers, in Palm Beach, Bridgehampton and Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico. Celebrities and social stars often wear her signature cascading baroque pearls on leather. Michelle and husband, Peter, have homes in Palm Beach and Southampton, where they love to garden and entertain alfresco.
Her Obsessions
Palm Beach Hot Spot: HMF at The Breakers (right), the newly renovated Adam Tihany space, is super fun and chic.
Newest Fashion Obsession: Cesar Galindo. He launched his CZAR ready-to-wear collection with us in December of last year. His colors and fabrics are sumptuous, and our customers can not get enough of his pieces.
Go-To Hostess Gift: Delicious sea salts for cooking and a beautiful bottle of wine
Music to Relax By: Sara Bareilles radio on Pandora
Favorite Way to Spend Sunday: I love entertaining and gardening. My husband, Peter, and I regularly host long, lazy lunches for 12-14 outside by the pool. When the roses are in bloom and the vegetable garden is overflowing, the Hamptons is my favorite place to be in summer. There is nothing more satisfying than cooking what you have grown for friends and family.
Top Travel Spots: St. Barths has always been my favorite little getaway (I lived there in my 20s), but the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico (below) is now a close contender. We opened our third store there this past December. The property is breathtaking, and although we are fairly new to the area, I know it is now going to be a lifetime destination for us.
Favorite Way to Spend Date Night: A bonfire on the beach at sunset
Can't Say No To: The sea-salt chocolate from Citarella in New York
Beauty Essential: Chanel Pink Sugar lip liner (left)

The HTC One Max is the first phone to sport the updated Sense 5.5, atop Android 4.3. The update to HTC's custom user interface includes improvements to the BlinkFeed reader — including the ability to hook into Google+ and add custom sources via RSS feeds. Also new is an updated Gallery app, with more options for Zoes and Video Highlights.
