Fitness: Liz's Story
I've played field hockey since the eighth grade. I am now a varsity player entering my senior year of high school, but I have to admit that I wasn't always physically fit. I was a scrawny little kid who was always the shortest and most petite in my class. My mom had always feared that if I played competitive sports, I'd get hurt by aggressive players. So I wasn't very athletically involved during my childhood.
From Humiliated to Motivated
When I entered middle school, a lot of my friends were signing up for the school's sports teams. One of my friends convinced me to try out for the soccer team with her. I had played a little bit of soccer before, so I figured that it wouldn't be too bad since I already knew the rules and how to dribble, pass, and shoot. On the first day of tryouts, I entered the field feeling quite optimistic until the coach told us to run laps for warm-up.
Bells and whistles went off in my head because I knew that I could not run for very long without getting really tired. As I struggled to keep up with the team, I found myself falling farther and farther behind until I was the last one to finish. Before we could even get a water break, the coach then made us do sprints back and forth across the field! I was so exhausted that by the time we did dribbling and passing drills I barely had any strength left to kick the ball!
After tryouts were over, my name never made it on the list. I was disappointed, but at the same time, I expected it. It was at that moment that I knew I had to do something about my health and fitness. I didn't want to be humiliated like that again.
When springtime rolled around, I made a big decision to sign up for the track and field team. People thought I was crazy because I ran a slow 11-minute mile in gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and improve my mile time. The first day of practice was one of the hardest workouts I've ever had. It was a lot of running for me, especially since I decided to participate in the long-distance events.
Fortunately, I wasn't the only slow runner trying to get into shape. A few others were on the same level as me with a similar goal. Day after day we supported and cheered each other on during practices and meets. As the season progressed, I found that I could run longer, faster, and without as much pain as I used to. One of the happiest days of my life was the last meet of the season when my mile time was 9 minutes. I could not believe that I had cut my time down by 2 minutes in just one season! It was painful and a lot of work, but the results were definitely worth it.
Eighth grade soon rolled around and I was feeling really confident about trying out for another fall sport. Instead of attempting soccer a second time, I decided to give field hockey a try. Again, the coach instructed us to run a lot of laps and sprints. This time, I was well prepared. After a week of tryouts, I was ecstatic to see that my name made it on the list.
I was inspired. I even took up kung-fu lessons in addition to being on both the track and field and hockey teams. Being in shape helped me feel energized, flexible, and strong. I also felt accomplished: My best mile time ever was 6½ minutes — a long way from the 11 minutes that I started with.
Junior-Year Setbacks
After I got fit I learned another important lesson: Once you do get into shape, don't stop or give up!
In high school, juggling all my athletic activities and schoolwork during my freshman and sophomore years was challenging but not impossible. But then junior year rolled around and I had the added responsibilities of planning for college, scholarships, PSATs, SATs, and finding a job so I could buy gas for my car.
It became almost impossible to manage my time. The job gave me gas money, but it wore me out so much that I would often come home at night exhausted. Halfway through the year, I gave up some of my commitments to focus on priorities: Since I want to go to art school, I decided to spend more time on my artwork and my academics and less time on sports. I quit taking kung-fu lessons after 3 years of training and I quit track early in my fifth season. I knew my fitness would suffer, but I pledged to run on weekends and whenever I had free time.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep my own promise. When I did have free time, I spent it going out with friends or catching up on sleep. I could feel my body getting more and more sluggish, but I kept telling myself that I would run the next day. I kept putting off exercising, and eventually I found myself stressed out and moody. My body kept sending signals that I wasn't healthy, but I ignored them. When it came to the point that going up the stairs in my house became tiring, I realized that — busy or not — exercise had to be a priority.
Getting back into shape was extremely hard. When I was on the track team, I could run for miles. Now running for just 15 minutes left me really tired. It was slow and painful, and yet at the same time, I was feeling better and stronger again. Although I may never be able to get back into the tip-top shape I used to be in, I've found that even a little exercise makes a difference. Staying fit and healthy is one of the best things I can do for my body.

The Eclipse Foundation has released Eclipse Xtend 2.4, a new statically typed programming language that translates to readable Java source code. Xtend focuses on bidirectional interoperability with Java and runs on all Java VMs and Android's Dalvik VM.

- Architecting Private and Hybrid Cloud Solutions: Best Practices Revealed
A number of new JVM-based languages have been introduced into the Java ecosystem, such as Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, Scala, and Xtend. Eclipse says that Xtend provides a "better Java language" by adding language features such as lambdas and operator overloading, as well as extension methods that reduce what the foundation labels as the "verbosity" of the Java language.
Xtend works with Java to allow developers to reuse existing Java libraries, frameworks, and tools. The new features in the Xtend 2.4 release include support for writing Android applications so that developers can use Xtend to create apps with less code than via the normal Java language.
NOTE: Xtend works with the existing Android Development Kit, so it has minimal impact on the size of the final application.
Also highlighted are Active Annotations. This new feature in Xtend builds upon Java annotations and makes it possible to participate in the translation process of Xtend source code to Java source code. Code patterns can now be formally implemented and automatically expanded during compilation, which reduces the amount of boilerplate developers have to write.
Xtend 2.4 introduces several new language features, including collection literals, extension variables, and support for declaring enums, interfaces, and regular annotations. There is also improved tool support as the Xtend plugin for the Eclipse IDE has been enhanced to provide "better developer tooling support" (says Eclipse) than other JVM languages.
"Xtend 2.4 is a very significant release for the Xtend project," said Sven Efftinge, project lead of Xtend. "We are particularly proud of the new Active Annotation feature since it solves many of the problems developers are working around with wizards and code generators today. We are also excited about reaching into the Android community to offer a new language for building Android applications."

Work to reconstruct North and South College Street between Highland Avenue and East Maiden Street in Washington could resume as early as next month.
If the Washington County maintenance manager gives his approval, the start date could be moved to the week of March 11, said Scott Faieta, assistant construction engineer for the state Department of Transportation's District 12. Initial plans called for the work, being done as part of the Route 19 improvement project through Washington, to begin April 1.
Because of winter maintenance and snow removal, Faieta said county managers usually do not like road projects to start before April.
Work on the street was to have been completed in 2012 while work was done on Lincoln Street, but work by Pennsylvania-American Water Co. to replace the main water line this winter pushed that phase of the project back a year.
Faieta said utility work on Lincoln is done with the exception of some work by Verizon.
When work begins, the left side of the street will be reconstructed first because that is where most of the drainage work will be done, Faieta said. The work will temporarily remove parking on the street.
The work will also require the removal of the trees lining the street. The trees will be replaced with cherry trees. While officials at First Presbyterian Church have indicated they want fewer trees, Washington & Jefferson College representatives want the same number of trees lining the street adjacent to the school.
Work on this phase of the project, being done by Donegal Construction, will be completed in October.
The next phase of the project includes work along Highland, Ridge and Murtland avenues. Faieta said the contractor, Frank Zottola Construction, needs to get permits to remove four buildings in the area. Those buildings include the former Highland Bar and Grill at the intersection of Highland and College and a former gas station at Locust and Highland.

California has more wilderness areas than any other state--148--and they include areas in every major mountain range between Mexico and Oregon. Many famous peaks are on this list, but it also includes many "liners" near summits, where the summit area has a road or radio tower, forcing the wilderness boundary and high point to a random slope point.
Also, note that there are two wilderness areas in California that are closed to public entry. The first is the Fallaron Islands, and the second is the Rocks and Islands wilderness off the northern coast. This latter area is largely marine and I could not find any discernable high point on its tiny offshore rocks, so it is not listed here, making the list total 147.
There are also two wilderness areas (Havasu and Imperial Refuge) located parly in California and party in Arizona, and their high points are in Arizona. They are not on this list either--see the Arizona Wilderness High Point List on this site for these peaks.
A big thank you to Daryn Dodge, who researched many of these points and supplied a detailed Excel file that allowed me to easily update the preliminary list of 75 peaks that was here. Appreciate it, Daryn!

Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="18.104.22.168/24 22.214.171.124/16" or like so config_eth0="'126.96.36.199 netmask 255.255.255.0' '126.96.36.199 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash.

Two Lenawee County residents were killed in separate Washtenaw County traffic crashes over the weekend.
Pam Zibbell, 55, of Adrian died Saturday from injuries sustained in a head-on collision at the intersection of U.S. 12 and Feldkamp Road west of Saline, according to The Saline Post.
She and her husband, Bradley, were on their way to the Saline Farmers Market, where they were vendors, the Post reported.
The previous night, Autumn Renae Tucker, 23, of Tecumseh was killed near Ann Arbor while crossing Carpenter Road on foot.
AnnArbor.com reported that a 65-year-old Ypsilanti man had just completed a turn from Washtenaw Avenue when he saw Tucker crossing the street and swerved to avoid her, but ended up striking her with his Ford Escape. Police are still seeking witnesses to the crash but do not believe the driver was at fault, according to the report.

Our Dedication to Embrace Diversity
At Starbucks, we pride ourselves on being a great place to work. We are deeply dedicated to our core values – to embrace diversity and treat each other with respect and dignity. We're committed to providing an inclusive, supportive and safe work environment for everyone. Moreover, we look for ways in which we can honor and celebrate the diversity of our partners as they, too, represent the communities that are home to our stores.
We are disheartened by the allegations reported in an East Coast Starbucks store and are taking immediate measures to investigate and take any steps necessary to make this right. The actions reported do not correspond with our values, who we are as a company or the beliefs we try to instill in our partners.
Starbucks has supported the LGBT community for many years, and we have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. We have one of the largest Employer Resource Groups for LGBT employees in the United States helping to raise awareness about issues in the communities in which we live and work. Our benefits program has always offered domestic partner benefits in the United States and Canada, and Starbucks partners actively participate and organize local LGBT events in their communities. We're also very proud of the 100% score we received on the Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign. We will continue to work very closely with this organization and others on topics relevant to the community.
UPDATE: Many of you have asked to hear specifically what, if any, disciplinary actions are taken as a result of our investigations into this incident. As this is a personnel matter, it is our policy not to provide such details regarding those steps.

When you have an older pet, the most important thing to remember is this: Dying isn't optional, but suffering often can be.
In other words, don't assume that a sick or elderly pet can't enjoy many weeks, months or even years of pain-free, comfortable and joyful living. And your veterinarian can help make that possible, because we understand why that's important, and we know how to make it happen. Working with your veterinarian to help a pet in the twilight of life will add a glow that will make the time precious for you and your pet both.
Start With a Veterinary Visit
To help your older pet enjoy a high quality of life, you'll need to make sure his health problems are addressed. That starts with a complete physical, which likely will include basic diagnostic testing. The tip-of-the-nose-to-tip-of-the-tail exam your veterinarian provides will also include a dental exam and a careful evaluation of all tests for signs of problems in vital organs such as the kidneys
After the check-up — and older pets should get them twice a year — you and your veterinarian will go over the results and set priorities for care. In many older pets, years of "deferred maintenance" when it comes to dental care have resulted in broken, rotting teeth and infected gums. I've seen cases that looked as if a blowtorch were passed over the pet's gums. These pets are in constant pain, and are often not eating well. These urgencies and emergencies must be addressed, and you may be shocked at how much happier your pet seems once they have been.

Knoll- Company Overview
Timeless Knoll classics by designers like Harry Bertoia and Mies van der Rohe are available at Smart Furniture at the lowest prices available on the web. Shop our collection of Knoll chairs, tables and desks.
Knoll is the first name in furniture design. Founded in 1938 by groundbreaking designer Florence Knoll and her husband Hans, and with locations in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, and Italy, Knoll furniture quickly came to prominence as the preeminent design studio in the United States and around the world. Not only did Knoll furniture designers produce some of the most thrilling furniture this century, Knoll management secured the production rights of the most qualified and famous designers. Knoll has the right to manufacture and sell products by luminaries like Mies van der Rohe (the Barcelona collection), Harry Bertoia (the Bertoia wire chairs), Marcel Breuer (the Wassily Chair), Eero Saarinen (the Tulip chair), and Jens Risom (the Risom lounge chair). You won't find such a collection of stars at any other furniture studio.
Knoll is committed to improving quality of life by improving the quality of your home and workplace. Knoll furniture brings design, beauty, comfort and elegance to the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, office, cafeteria, and lobby. There are no limits to the range of applications Knoll strives to make perfect furniture for, and no other company who can accomplish every goal with such verve and intelligence. Choose Knoll furniture when you're choosing pieces: You won't just be buying furniture, you'll be claiming an art object, an installation meant to enrich your environment, and an inheritance for your children. Long-lasting, perfectly made, brilliantly designed, Knoll is the place for fine furniture.
Florence Knoll
Knoll co-founder and chief designer Florence Knoll began her long and continuing career at the Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. She quickly came under the wing of legendary European designer Eero Saarinen, and from then on her life was inextricably tied to outstanding design, outstanding designers, and amazing furniture. She worked with Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Wallace K. Harrison. In 1946 she married Hans Knoll, cementing their partnership and taking a larger role in the company. Without her far-seeing wisdom Knoll would never have secured partnerships with the best designers in the world, and would certainly never have embraced her principles of "total design," which changed the nature of American architecture and design in profound ways. Florence Knoll blazed a trail for design in the office, the personal workspace, the lobby, the hospital, the government hall, and dozens of other spaces given little attention and less aesthetic emphasis. She cared deeply about the plain objects in the world, and the everyday spaces, and strove to make them extraordinary with ravishing design and a touch of beauty and elegance.
In 2002, in recognition of her influence, career and contributions to American design, Florence Knoll was awarded the National Endowment for the Arts' National Medal of Arts in 2002. There are no higher national honors available to such an artist.
Read more about Knoll in their company profile.
Guiding Principles- Total Design
Florence Knoll, and by extension, Knoll itself, is committed to the concept of total design. Every space within a home or office can be and should be given attention. There are no separate elements to a room: the whole is the sum of its parts, and every part is important. Knoll furniture believes in giving each piece the attention it deserves, and creating a total space. It was Florence Knoll who brought these concepts to the fore of Knoll's philosophy, and within a few years her ideas, radical when first introduced, were the industry standard. It is to Knoll's credit that while every other furniture company is now a follower, none have been able to surpass the extraordinary work that continues to pour out of the draft rooms, hands and minds of the Knoll team.
A History of Design
Knoll was at the forefront of what is commonly referred to today as mid-century design. The American housing boom following World War II presented a grand opportunity for architects, designers, and engineers to revolutionize what a modern home could be. These new, technologically advanced, homes unfettered by traditional concepts of design were often filled with contemporary furniture, and this furniture was frequently manufactured by Knoll.
Many concepts inherent in modern home and furniture design originated in Scandinavia, and Knoll was quick to recognize the merits of Scandinavian design. Many of Knoll's most famous designers were actually European in origin. Mies van der Rohe was born in Germany, Harry Bertoia in Italy, and Eero Saarinen in Finland. All of these eventually moved to American where they were responsible for some of the most original furniture and architecture of the twentieth century. Today these classics are still available from Knoll.

Knoll and the Environment
"Today, Knoll continues to focus on three key environmental areas: climate change, third-party certification; and environmentally-responsible materials, products, and processes. And we are continuing to set industry-leading standards for sustainable design."
Andrew Cogan, CEO
Knoll, Inc.
As a result of their Energy Management Program, Knoll has created an impressive framework for sustainable design and manufacturing. A member of the Clinton Global Initiative Energy and Climate Change Working Group, Knoll make a commitment in 2006 to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by ten percent over three years through investments in green infrastructure. These investments, which exceeded $2 million, along with a successful Energy Management Program, resulted in a 10.41 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2008.
A host of Knoll products are Greenguard Certified and at least partially recyclable. Knoll's commitment to sustainable design and production processes is apparent in their products.

The Gambit Scheme system is a complete, portable, efficient and reliable implementation of the Scheme programming language.
This web site is intended for users of the Gambit Scheme system. It is a place where various resources are collected and where users can exchange information related to Gambit.
Download latest release (v4.5.3): Development Sources, Mac OS X installer (for Intel 32), Windows installer (for other releases see the distributions).
What's Gambit?
Gambit consists of two main programs: gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter, and gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler. The interpreter contains the complete execution and debugging environment. The compiler is the interpreter extended with the capability of generating executable files. The compiler can produce standalone executables or compiled modules which can be loaded at run time. Interpreted code and compiled code can be freely mixed.
Gambit-C is a version of the Gambit programming system in which the compiler generates portable C code. The main features of Gambit-C are:
- Conformance. The Gambit-C system conforms to the R4RS, R5RS and IEEE Scheme standards and implements all optional features. Tail calls and first class continuations conform to the Scheme semantics. The full numeric tower is implemented, including: arbitrary precision integers (bignums), rationals, inexact reals (floating point numbers), and complex numbers. Several extensions to Scheme are provided, including: lightweight threads, a foreign-function interface (FFI), and extended I/O capabilities (Unicode, networking, subprocesses, ...).
- Portability. Because the system is mostly written in Scheme and the compiler generates portable C code, it is easy to port the system as well as programs compiled with it to any platform with a decent C or C++ compiler. There is no reliance on a particular C compiler, although the system can take advantage of some gcc-specific constructs. The C code generated is oblivious to the endianness and word size of the target environment (32 and 64 bit architectures are currently supported).
- Performance. The compiler includes several powerful program transformations such as user procedure inlining, partial-evaluation, and lambda-lifting. With appropriate declarations in the source code the executable programs generated by the compiler run roughly as fast as equivalent C programs. Programs containing no declarations are also optimized without compromising the Scheme semantics by speculatively inlining predefined procedures (see the benchmarks page for a comparison with other Scheme implementations and other languages). Thanks to an efficient implementation of continuations, the thread system is very efficient and can support millions of concurrent threads. The bignum library uses sophisticated algorithms that are in some cases asymptotically faster than those of GMP (GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library). [Note: With the release of GMP 4.3.0 in April 2009, this claim is no longer true; see the benchmarks page for some crude comparisons on large integers.]
- Reliability. Stable releases typically have very few bugs. Bug tracking is done with bugzilla. Gambit-C has been used to develop large-scale real-world software in academic and commercial settings.
Getting Gambit
Gambit is available as prebuilt and source code distributions. There are prebuilt distributions for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and other operating systems. The source code distributions must be compiled with a C or C++ compiler. The latest sources are available in the source code repository. It can be accessed using the git distributed version control system.
Documentation is available.

GAZA CITY The top leader of Hamas dared Israel on Monday to launch a ground invasion of Gaza and dismissed diplomatic efforts to broker a cease-fire in the six-day-old conflict, as the Israeli military conducted a new wave of deadly airstrikes on the besieged Palestinian enclave, including a second hit on a 15-story building that houses media outlets. A volley of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel included one that hit a vacant school.
Speaking at a news conference in Cairo, where the diplomatic efforts were under way, the Hamas leader, Khaled Meshal, suggested that the Israeli infantry mobilization on the border with Gaza was a bluff on the part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.
If you wanted to launch it, you would have done it, Mr. Meshal told reporters. He accused Israel of using the invasion threat as an attempt to dictate its own terms and force us into silence.
Rejecting Israels contention that Hamas had precipitated the conflict, Mr. Meshal said the burden was on the Israelis. The demand of the people of Gaza is meeting their legimitate demands for Israel to be restrained from its aggression, assassinations and invasions, and for the siege over Gaza to be ended, he said.
The Hamas Health Ministry said Monday evening that a total of 102 people had been killed since Wednesday morning, when Israeli airstrikes began, following months of Palestinian rocket fire into Israel. A spokeswoman for the Israeli military said she believed that a majority of these were militants, though it is difficult to know because Hamass own fighting brigade and the other factional groups are secretive.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Where's Baghdad Bob when you need him?
Ahhhh,,, the frustrated remarks of a man with no Air Force of his own. Helpless feeling, no?
The link now goes to a story about a family being killed by Israel
Why are there no war games, as far as I can tell, about the Korean war?
lead with flame thrower tanks
Aw, that's just too perfect! Remember the hot new industry in Egypt after the '67 War? (Backup lights for Egyptian tanks.) Wonder what it will be for Hamas?
Why invade??? Don't take the bait. Keep bombing. The air force needs the target practice.
He would have double dog dared the Israelis but Muslims aren't keen on dogs.
Khaled Meshal,...Israel will answer with a drone strike taking out Khaled Meshal,.....with "we don't have to" painted on the side of it
They probably aren't keen on Wag the Dog either.
Muslims are soooooooo dumb.
Kinda makes ya wonder why!
There is no such thing as an innocent civilian Palestinian. They are ALL either fighters or supporters of the terrorists.
Don't worry ... if Israel invades, this Khaled Messhole character will escape ... dying is for peons.
......a total of 102 people had been killed.....
That is far short of the 102,000 necessary to resolve the issue and get Hamas's attention
According to muslim 0bama, dog is a bit tough........
With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.
This passage explains a lot. It appears 0bama must have ate a lot of meat from retarded donkeys........because he took on the powers of a jackass.
I think it also sums up Hamas pretty good too.
I so wish Israel would take them up on the bet...not the invasion,,but just blast the place into oblivion.
I would not invade at this time.
I'd use the IDF to create a WIDE buffer zone between Sinai and Gaza....then ANNEX the buffer zone.
Then kill the power to Gaza until at least until 90 days passes without the Gazans launching a single missile.
Every time even a single missile is launched then another 90 days. After the third 90 day shutdown announce that another missile launch will result in Israel permanently pulling down the power lines that go to Gaza.
It's an interesting thing to note that since Israel is now in full on war mobilization mode with bomb shelters readied and the civilians and reserves prepared.. it's a great time to hit Iran.
Israel has a reserve army that cannot be pulled away from their lives too often or for too long at a time. This means Israel must always take care of business quickly when the reserves are called....so the urge is to take out Gaza, Hez in Lebanon, Egypt and Iran while the IDF is mobilized...perhaps lay some hurt on Syria as well if they act up.
And please, this time ANNEX the northern half of the Sinai!
Bargain away the southern half if you must but never let Egypt close to the current border again.
Now I understand why Zero acts like such a huge dick.
you forgot the new tank transmissions with 6 gears. one for forward five for reverse
We are seeing, yet again, the stupidity of relinquishing control of the Gaza strip to a terrorist organization. Attacks from the West bank are next and then the Golan Heights. Who's dumb idea was that again?
They are there even if part of Israel. If not part of Israel, they can be killed.
Periodic killing is necessary to control.
I. Theme: The Italian Giulio Douhet was the first to
envision the true potential of air power. His book, The
Command of the Air, presents an airpower doctrine based on
the premise that armies and navies alone can no longer win
GOD bless Israel and save America.
They are firing more advanced rockets. They have anti tank weapons.
Find this Meshal and snuff him.
I know that terrorists infiltrate every part of Israel, but by letting the Gaza Strip go to the Palies and their election of Hamas, the terrorists then are able to build up tunnels and set up rocket launchers in order to attack Israel right at the border. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip:
The Gaza Strip forms part of the Palestinian territories. Since July 2007, following the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and the following the Battle of Gaza, Hamas has functioned as the de facto ruler in the Gaza Strip, forming an alternative Hamas Government in Gaza.
And for the Oslo Accords that essentially made Israel give up their strategic southwestern flank, we can thank:
God, ragheads are stupid.
Go in there and wipe them out, Israel, dear friends. It is the ONLY way their minds can be changed.
Now that's funny.
It would be nice to see the cockroaches eliminated, but Israelis have more compassion than I.
It's the lead story on Fox News.
"the Israeli military conducted a new wave of deadly airstrikes on the besieged Palestinian enclave"
They seem to forget the hundreds of missiles being fired out of Gaza into Israel that kicked this whole thing off. but that is not surprizing, the NYT respresents one of the chief progressive/leftist/islamic abetting propoganda ministries in the country.
And the Hamas leader is a blow hard. Notice where he is. He's in Cairo, he sure isn't with his "peeps." He wants Israel to invide because he thinks he will have more luck trying to get Egypt, Iran and ultimately the Saudis to intercede against Israel...that's what he and all of the fundi Islamics really want.
Sharia Law and Fundamental Islam must be eradicated from the Earth
Fox reporter in Israel, (David Lee Miller) just reported, Israel just hit a bank in Gaza!!
Build up in the North
Swing around to both flanks
By land from the East
By sea from the West
Join hands in the South
To cut off supplies
And youre winning the six-hour war
I have no airforce of my own. Somehow, I manage to cope.
"We will make this the burial ground of the- hey, what's that whistling noise?" [ka-boom!]
Thanks lbryce.
Wow look at that dog run...
Diaperheads are all hat and no camel.
Dear Hamas Leader.....
Be careful what you wish for!
I knew I'd find a black knight picture somewhere in this thread.
If Israel invades, they risk a regional or world wide war.
That is what Hamas wants.
They are thinking long term. Gaza becomes a smoking hole, but all the islamic world goes out to war, they view it as a win.
In short, Israel has to be very careful in their next move. Egypt and the new Muslim Brotherhood government may just try to intervene this time.
Changed to "Off" maybe.
But that'll work.
Or like that knight in Monty Python who kept up his challenges even after all his appendages were chopped off;)

By ERICA WERNER and JULIE PACE
(WASHINGTON, AP) — The video game industry, blamed by some for fostering a culture of violence, defended its practices Friday at a White House meeting exploring how to prevent horrific shootings like the recent Connecticut elementary school massacre.
Vice President Joe Biden, wrapping up three days of wide-ranging talks on gun violence prevention, said the meeting was an effort to understand whether the U.S. was undergoing a "coarsening of our culture."
"I come to this meeting with no judgment. You all know the judgments other people have made," Biden said at the opening of a two-hour discussion. "We're looking for help."
Afterward, the Entertainment Software Association said in a statement that it had told Biden that "independent, scientific research conducted to date has found no causal connection between video games and real-life violence."
"We also recognized that gun violence is a serious problem in our country," the group said, adding that "as an industry integral to the social and cultural fabric of America" it wanted to work toward "meaningful solutions." It didn't say what those might be.
The gaming industry says that violent crime, particularly among the young, has fallen since the early 1990s while video games have increased in popularity.
There are conflicting studies on the impact of video games and other screen violence. Some conclude that video games can desensitize people to real-world violence or temporarily quiet part of the brain that governs impulse control. Other studies have concluded there is no lasting effect.
Cheryl Olson, a participant in Biden's meeting and a researcher of the effect of violent video games, said there was concern among industry representatives that they would be made into a scapegoat in the wake of the Connecticut shooting.
"The vice president made clear that he did not want to do that," Olson said.
Biden is expected to suggest ways to address violence in video games, movies and on television when he sends President Barack Obama a package of recommendations for curbing gun violence Tuesday. The proposals are expected to include calls for universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Obama appointed Biden to lead a gun violence task force after last month's shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 20 children and six educators dead.
Gun-safety activists were coalescing around expanded background checks as a key goal for the vice president's task force. Some advocates said it may be more politically realistic — and even more effective as policy — than reinstating a ban on assault weapons.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said some 40 percent of gun sales happen with no background checks, such as at gun shows and by private sellers over the Internet or through classified ads.
"Our top policy priority is closing the massive hole in the background check system," the group said Friday.
While not backing off support for an assault weapons ban, some advocates said there could be broader political support for increasing background checks, in part because that could actually increase business for retailers and licensed gun dealers who have access to the federal background check system.
"The truth is that an assault weapons ban is a very important part of the solution — and it is also much tougher to pass," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines are also seen by some as an easier lift politically than banning assault weapons.
The National Rifle Association adamantly opposes universal background checks, as well as bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines — all measures that would require congressional approval. The NRA and other pro-gun groups contend that a culture that glamorizes violence bears more responsibility for mass shootings than access to a wide range of weapons and ammunition.
In a 2009 report, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared, "The evidence is now clear and convincing: Media violence is one of the causal factors of real-life violence and aggression."
The report focused on all types of media violence. But for video games in particular, the pediatricians cited studies that found high exposure to violent ones increased physical aggression at least in the short term, and warned that they allow people to rehearse violent acts. On the other hand, it said friendly video games could promote good behavior.
A wide spectrum of the video game industry was represented at the meeting with the vice president, including the makers of violent war video games like "Call of Duty" and "Medal of Honor" and a representative from the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, which sets age ratings that on every video game package released in the United States.
The vice president met Thursday with representatives from the entertainment industry, including Motion Picture Association of America and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association. In a joint statement after the meeting, a half-dozen said they "look forward to doing our part to seek meaningful solutions" but offered no specifics.
Biden, hinting at other possible recommendations to the president, said he is interested in technology that would keep a gun from being fired by anyone other than the person who bought it. He said such technology may have curtailed what happened last month in Connecticut, where the shooter used guns purchased by his mother.
The vice president has also discussed making gun trafficking a felony, a step Obama can take through executive action. And he is expected to make recommendations for improving mental health care and school safety.
"We know this is a complex problem," Biden said. "We know there's no single answer."
The president plans to push for the new measures in his State of the Union address, scheduled for Feb. 12.

Judge's Ruling Upholds Apple Patent, Could Jeopardize Android's Future in the U.S.
Jason Mick
April 2, 2012 9:32 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Android phonemakers have essentially four possible routes to try to avoid a "doomsday" scenario
Thus far Apple, Inc. (
) has seen its patents narrowed or invalidated in U.S. court. At best it's cobbled together a handful of UI patents like gallery page flipping, kinetic scrolling,
, and a
bounce back animation
. Together, these patents could make Android a bit less pleasant, but it would be far from "game over" as Google Inc. (
) would be free to continue sales and continue to attack Apple with retaliatory litigation in hopes of
reaching a licensing truce
, while
pursuing workarounds
I. Monopoly is Almost in Apple's Grasp
But Apple has one strong hope of achieving its ultimate objective -- killing its top competitor and granting itself control over the U.S. smartphone market. That patent is
U.S. Patent No. 7,479,949
, Apple's
infamous "multi-touch patent"
The patent claims invention not of a particular narrow, precisely defined algorithm, but rather on an abstract description of
algorithms relating to the use of multi-touch displays. Basically, the patent covers how when your fingers are moving in semi-linear directions, the idea of removing the wobble in order to get a usable gesture.
Virtually every Android device sold today uses multi-touch. Without a method of allowing for accurate touch these devices would be rendered useless. And that's precisely what Apple is hoping for.
Apple scored a demoralizing victory over Android. [Image Source: ArsTechnica]
After scoring an early victory in January on the patent, Apple scored another win in a more in-depth judicial analysis of the claims in Apple's patent, and Google subsidiary/Android phonemaker Motorola Mobility's (the named defendant) complaints about the patent.
The presiding Chicago, Illinois
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
judge was
Judge Richard Posner
, a respected legal veteran and
University of Chicago
law instructor. In a March 29 ruling, he defended Apple's interpretation of the claims language in the patent as mostly valid and chastised Motorola Mobility's lawyers for providing invalid and repetitive arguments.
Responding to Motorola Mobility's insistence that the patent should only be valid for the 27 degree contact angle (error tolerance) discussed in the example implementation, he
, "I reject Motorola's argument (this is the third time they've made it and the third time I reject it) that the structure must be limited to the 27-degree angle used as an example by the specification."
The decision clears the way for a potential ban on all Motorola Android smartphone sales on infringement grounds.
II. Ubiquitous Patent Won't Expire Until 2028
Apple's attorneys cheer the news, writing, "[H]aving identified the problems associated with imprecise finger gestures, solved them, and successfully incorporated them into a commercial product, Apple should be entitled to the fruits of its innovation via broad patent protection, and the public is benefited by the disclosure of Apple's invention."
The patent will last through 2028, so by "public is benefited" Apple means that it hopes that the public will be "benefited" by a complete ban on Android for over a decade and a half.

Such an event would seem astounding, but is not impossible considering the following:
Without multi-touch you might as well not sell a handset in the current market.
Without gesture detection heuristic multi-touch would be impossible to implement effectively
The validation of Apple's claims language clears the way for a preliminary injunction on all Motorola multi-touch handsets. Bans on Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and HTC Corp. (
) would likely soon follow.
Apple has not indicated it is willing to license this patent.
This latest is outcome is largely a byproduct of a
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
that allows overly ambiguous nebulous software descriptions to be patented and then a judicial system which, in turn, allows them to be enforced with destructive, anti-competitive consequences.
But this incident is the most eye-popping example yet of the dangers of the current American intellectual property system as it has a strong possibility of radically transforming a vast market whose devices U.S. consumers use every day.
III. How Did We Get Here?
The wily Cupertino giant, the world's most profitable electronics company began its bid in early 2005. At the time Apple was enjoying a renaissance with its best-selling iPod, but it was curious if customers would buy a reimagined Apple Newton in a new ultra-slim form factor. In order to differentiate its product, Apple bought FingerWorks, a research and development company specializing in multi-touch gestures.
At that point Apple began patenting multi-touch implementation details at a frantic pace. The only remaining question was what kind of hardware to pair the algorithms with.
The answer came in 2006 when a handful of companies -- mostly Taiwanese display startups -- displayed capacitive multi-touch displays at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and other trade shows. Apple moved quickly to enter agreements to snatch up all the supply on the new displays.
Apple's crafty moves positioned it to potentially score its biggest anti-competitive win yet.
[Image Source: David Paul Morris/Getty Images]
This allowed it to enjoy a virtually untouched monopoly on multi-touch devices a year later, when its iPhone launched. While Apple's invention came largely second-hand via FingerWorks and the Taiwanese manufacturers, it appeared that Apple had "invented" multi-touch.
IV. Android Phonemakers Have Four Potential Routes to Avoid a Complete Ban
Now the clever strategy that ensured its risky smartphone project instant commercial acclaim and success could pay a second dividend in the form of an anti-competitive gift from the U.S. judicial system.
If Apple does score a complete sales ban, it has complete control over whether it opts to allow licensing at premium rates, or simply to allow Android U.S. sales to die. Either way Android phonemakers' only recourse would be to win a narrowing of the patent in similar Samsung/HTC cases, take the case to a higher federal appeals court in an effort to override Judge Posner's technical analysis, try to find enough prior art to convince the USPTO to invalidate the broad patent, or else win an equally damaging ruling against Apple, forcing licensing.
Is this game over for Android? Don't count Google and its allies out yet, they have several viable options to fight a complete sales ban. [Image Source: The Dark Furie]
If Google,
et al.
cannot find a way to accomplish one of those four reversal routes, Android is essentially soon to be dead in the U.S., barring some unforeseen circumstance. And if Android sales vanish in the U.S., the platform's global prospects are in jeopardy as well.
It sounds unbelievable, but Apple's ace could spell the virtual end of Android, currently the smartphone market's market share leader. Of course, on the flip side of the Android coalition has a lot of fight left in it and will likely look to exhaust each of the above options to avoid a radical market changing event in the U.S.

It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore. |
Large Eruptions of Durika | Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA). |
MIROVA | Middle InfraRed Observation of Volcanic Activity (MIROVA) is a near real time volcanic hot-spot detection system based on the analysis of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. In particular, MIROVA uses the Middle InfraRed Radiation (MIR), measured over target volcanoes, in order to detect, locate and measure the heat radiation sourced from volcanic activity. |
MODVOLC Thermal Alerts | Using infrared satellite Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, scientists at the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai'i, developed an automated system called MODVOLC to map thermal hot-spots in near real time. For each MODIS image, the algorithm automatically scans each 1 km pixel within it to check for high-temperature hot-spots. When one is found the date, time, location, and intensity are recorded. MODIS looks at every square km of the Earth every 48 hours, once during the day and once during the night, and the presence of two MODIS sensors in space allows at least four hot-spot observations every two days. Each day updated global maps are compiled to display the locations of all hot spots detected in the previous 24 hours. There is a drop-down list with volcano names which allow users to 'zoom-in' and examine the distribution of hot-spots at a variety of spatial scales. |
EarthChem | EarthChem develops and maintains databases, software, and services that support the preservation, discovery, access and analysis of geochemical data, and facilitate their integration with the broad array of other available earth science parameters. EarthChem is operated by a joint team of disciplinary scientists, data scientists, data managers and information technology developers who are part of the NSF-funded data facility Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA). IEDA is a collaborative effort of EarthChem and the Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS). |
