Former Spain coach Aragones dies, aged 75
MADRID (Reuters) - Former coach Luis Aragones, the man who ended Spain's 44-year wait for a major international trophy by winning Euro 2008 and sparking a golden era for the team, has died at the age of 75.
He passed away on Saturday morning in the Centro de Madrid clinic in the Spanish capital after a battle with leukaemia, his family said in a statement.
The RFEF, the country's soccer federation, expressed its sorrow at the loss of the "Spain coach that started their glorious run of success in world football".
Spain lifted the European Championship trophy in 1964 but for several decades after they were regarded as under-achievers.
Aragones changed that perception with his victory in 2008, creating the platform for more triumphs under Vicente del Bosque at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
Spain beat Germany 1-0 in the final in Vienna six years ago, Fernando Torres scoring the winner in the 33rd minute.
"Without doubt he paved the way for this latest period that has been so successful. He had a lot of experience as a coach and personally I had a special affection for him," said Del Bosque.
"I knew he had a health problem but I never imagined it would come to this. We will remember this day with a lot of sadness."

Dean: more people
I just woke up. I was on a beach. I sat up, I felt my body with my right hand. I was alive! I looked at my left arm, someone had wrapped it to stop the bleeding, but the stump was still wide open.
"Ah your awake?"
I looked to see the girl I saw earlier, probably the one that pretty uch saved my life.
"Yeah, thanks, I'm alive." I said still not believing that I was alive. "What's your name?" I managed to ask.
"Oh, I'm Nessie" she said
"Thank you Nessie," I said and managed a smile. "Where are we?"
"I don't know that either." she said "All I know is that its an island."
I winced in pain, my left arm hurt like no other.
"I'm sorry I can't be of much use to you, only having one arm and all."
She managed a weak smile, "there is hardly anyone able to work in our whole group." she said
"Theres more people?" I asked dumb founded
"Yeah, wanna come meet them?"
I nodded and went to go meet the group.

U.S. government cutbacks continue to impact demand for iRobot's (IRBT) military robots, putting a drag on the company's sales, outlook and stock price.
The Bedford, Mass.-based company late Wednesday reported fourth-quarter results that just missed forecasts on sales and beat Wall Street's earnings target. But iRobot's first-quarter guidance lagged expectations.
Shares of iRobot were down 13% in midday trading, after falling as much as 16% earlier in the session.
IRobot posted sales of $100.7 million, down 23% from the year-earlier quarter and a hair under the analyst target of $100.9 million. It lost 21 cents a share vs. a profit of 38 cents a year earlier and Wall Street's forecast for a loss of 35 cents a share.
For the current quarter, iRobot expects to earn 4 cents a share on sales of $100 million, based on the midpoint of its guidance. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were modeling 7 cents and $103 million.
Helping to offset declining defense and security robot sales are strong sales of iRobot's home robots, including the Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. Home robots accounted for 82% of revenue in Q4, with sales up 11%. Government robot sales plunged 68% to $17.8 million.
"Defense has dragged on our performance all through 2012 and there will be some overhang in 2013," iRobot Chief Financial Officer John Leahy told IBD.
IRobot has seen defense robot procurement cuts because of uncertainties with the U.S. budget and the winding down of military activity in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said. The threat of sequestration cuts continues to weigh on military procurements this year, he says.
The company is looking to expand its defense and security robot sales outside the U.S. It recently received a $7 million order from a foreign government for PackBot systems, used for reconnaissance and bomb disposal. The company expects international sales to contribute about a third of product revenue in its defense and security business unit in 2013. It had been about 15% to 20% of sales, Leahy said.
"The real story now and what we're focusing on with investors is the very attractive consumer element of our business," Leahy said. Just a few years ago, the split between consumer and government robot sales was about 50-50, he says.
"We think we'll have another great year in home robots," he said. "We're projecting growth of more than 20%. This is a truly global business, with about 70% of our revenue coming from overseas. We're looking to get traction in new, exciting, big markets in 2013, particularly in China and Brazil. In the defense business, we hope that we have stabilized and right-sized that business."

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- What Are Bath Salts?
- The Dangers Of Bath Salts
- Signs Of Bath Salts Use
Bath Salts
Bath Salts are a very new and scary recreational drug fad which you may have seen in the headlines in recent months. The term Bath Salts is very misleading, which is intentional and part of the scheme to lure in new users. The drug Bath Salts has nothing to do with aromatic and luxurious salts used to take a bath, but rather are various synthetic compounds sold under this name which act as a type of stimulant drug which also has some psychoactive properties as well. Bath Salts are sometimes sold in stores which sell drug paraphernalia, but they can also be purchased online through a variety of websites which sell these types of products. The typical profile of someone who uses Bath Salts appears to be individuals who are between 20 and 29 years old. However, there are reports of exposure to these drugs reflected in Poison Control Center calls from individuals younger than 6 to older than 59.
What Are Bath Salts?
Bath Salts are relatively new to the drug scene, and little is known about their short or long term effects and these may vary depending on the chemical composition of any one batch. It is known however that Bath Salts are known to induce psychotic behavior, and these dangerous drugs pose serious dangers to one's health and the safety of the user and the public in general. Despite their unassuming name, Bath Salts are also extremely addictive and individuals who begin abusing these drugs will typically continue use because of intense cravings; much like someone who is addicted to methamphetamine or cocaine.
Bath Salts act as a stimulant drug because most of these products contain various amphetamine-like chemicals. One of these amphetamine-like substances is called Mepherdone, and has been associated with extremely high risks of overdose. Bath Salts are such an affective stimulant, that some recreational drug users take them in place of other stimulant drugs such as cocaine. Much like any other drug of abuse, Bath Salts can be taken orally, snorted, smoked or injected. Injecting Bath Salts intravenously results in an almost immediate and intense high, and is known to result in the worst outcomes because it is going directly into the bloodstream. Therefore, intravenous users of the drug often experience the most severe psychotic effects of the drug and are at the highest risk of overdose.
The Dangers Of Bath Salts
One of the reasons Bath Salts present such serious risks and dangers to users is because little is known about their true ingredients. The contents of any one batch of Bath Salts can vary, and users therefore have absolutely no idea what they are putting into their bodies. No matter how the drug is being administered, putting these toxic and dangerous drugs and unknown compounds into one's system is a like playing Russian roulette with one's life. Bath Salts have been responsible for many disturbing ER visits since they appeared on the drug scene, and individuals who show up in hospitals having overdosed typically experience extremely high heart rate and blood pressure, as well as psychotic behavior including extreme paranoia, hallucinations and delusions. There were over 6,100 such visits in 2011. To reinforce the apparent and real dangers associated with these drugs, just last year there were 2,655 calls made to Poison Control centers regarding exposure to Bath Salts. Because of the serious risks involved with taking Bath Salts, states across the nation are taking measures to legally ban Bath Salts, 38 of which have succeeded in doing so.
While Bath Salts may seem appealing to young users as well as both new and long term recreational drug users, these seriously dangerous drugs should be avoided at all costs. Some people simply don't come back from a Bath Salts induced psychosis, and the ones that do have been known experience long-term physical and psychological side effects which greatly impact their quality of life. In short, they are never the same. This is an unfortunate circumstance but one which can be avoided if individuals understand the dangers associated with these powerful drugs.
Signs Of Bath Salts Use
Parents in particular should take note of any changes in mood or behavior that their children may display, and should never hesitate to inquire about recreational drug use in school or otherwise. Because many youth do in fact experiment with drugs during this time, long term consequences can be avoided and their futures preserved if parents are involved and help prevent their children from using destructive drugs such as Bath Salts. It is sometimes necessary to consult with or have your child see a guidance counselor or professional treatment counselor to ensure nothing is being held back, as youth are sometimes hesitant to tell their parents what they may tell a mental health or treatment professional.
If someone has taken Bath Salts and is experiencing shortness of breath, seizures, or is unconscious it is very important that someone dial 911 and get the individual immediate medical attention. Medical professionals have a better idea at this point as to what to expect and how to go about treating a Bath Salt overdose, although it is very often a touch and go situation depending on how much the individual has taken and their level of psychosis, etc. Once the individual has been stabilized, which may take days in some cases, it is often recommended that they seek proper treatment in a drug rehab facility to avoid any future drug use and other serious circumstances such as overdose.
It is not uncommon for someone who has become addicted to Bath Salts to need to remain in an inpatient or residential drug rehab program for several weeks. It can take weeks just to overcome the physical and psychological cravings the individuals will have for the drug, and to stabilize them after having likely experienced severe side effects from the drug. It is important that every aspect of their dependence and addiction is addressed, so that there is no chance of relapse when they leave drug rehab; because any type of relapse can lead to far more serious consequences.

The Palace Gardens
Behind the Palace was the most beautiful set of gardens I had seen in my life. There were seven sections, each containing plants of the same colour of the rainbow, except indigo which was omitted (presumably due to its closeness in shade to violet) and the last section was pink. The farthest section to the left contained the reddest roses and tulips in what must be the whole of Thrift; the next to the right was devoted to orange, full of marigolds and orange trees (for it was not only flowers that grew in this enchanting place); the next consisted of yellow daffodils and sunflowers; and so on and so forth up to pretty pink peonies. My mind was soon a whirl of colours too amazing to be real. In my dreamlike state, all became romantic as if Adam and I had become the subjects of a beautiful, expressive poem.
"Thank you for showing me this," I breathed, simultaneously awed, inspired and incredibly grateful.
Adam smiled. "I'm glad you like it. But ... there is something much more wonderful than the sight and scent of all these plants, something that radiates more profound feeling and evokes more pleasure (in my case anyway) and something, finally, that is a thousand ties more special and valuable."
"What?" I whispered.
Adam's smile became mysterious. "A lone gem in a sea of rocks."
His answer didn't make sense. His voice had been so intense and I had almost expected it to be me after his behaviour today and all that had been said at the table during supper. I deduced that 'a lone gem in a sea of rocks' must be a metaphor, but then I found myself thinking 'Let's not be presumptuous, here."
"What type of gem?" I asked, half playing along, half curious and genuinely believing he was talking about a stone.
"Sapphire," Adam replied without hesitation.
A Dolphin... He was being metaphorical. Everybody knew that rubies were the stones associated with Phoenixes, topaz with Eagles, emeralds with Dragons and sapphires with Dolphins.
"Who?" I asked impulsively, now needing to confirm my suspicion, despite my lack of similar feeling for him.
"You honestly don't know?" he asked, looking confused.
"I ... have an idea."
Adam faced me straight on and put his hands on shoulders. He gazed deep into my eyes and I was certain before he spoke. "You."
He watched me, waiting for a response, his serious expression becoming one of pain as I didn't do anything.
I saw in his eyes (in those gorgeous brown depths) a loved that mine just didn't reciprocate. He was trying to give me his heart, to make me claim possession of it, to end the torment I was putting him through but I just couldn't do anything. Despair overwhelmed him and he let go of my shoulders, sinking to his knees. He looked at the ground.
I said the only thing I could think of. "It is early days yet. In fact, it's not been even one day that we've known each other." I patted his shoulder awkwardly. "Don't be sad."
He looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "You could grow to love me?"
I hesitated. "I cannot say."
When he looked down again, I hurriedly said "But nor could I say the opposite: that I could never love you. I already feel affection of a friendly nature for you: that could easily develop into something more. We're in no rush - let my feelings take their time."
"Of course," Adam said sincerely, looking up at me once more. He took my hand and kissed it before rising to his feet. "I was most foolish and impulsive: such affairs require great thought before a wise decision can be made. And while we wait, my feelings for you can bloom into love of the profoundest nature so that when you can say you return the sentiment, I can be the most soulful lover Thrift has ever seen."
I nodded, quite overwhelmed.
"I await your heart's decision. In the meantime, I am at your mercy. Do with me as you will."
"Such a thing makes me feel uncomfortable, Adam. Please try, for me, to contain your feelings."
Adam nodded. "As you wish, ... Selena." It was the same pause he had made in the parlour of Wavia Palace: the pause of the wonderstruck and admiring.
I gave a small smile. "Thank you."
"So... shall we walk somewhere else then?"
I nodded again.
Adam led me to the central garden. There was a circular hedge as a border cut into different shapes, some of which I could identify as elephants and peacocks, with a gap for the entrance into the area which was full of different types of grass. There were trees planted to form another circle inside the hedge: sycamores, horse chestnuts, even a small willow. We walked through the gap between two trees directly in front of the entrance. The centrepiece of the garden was a stone fountain. Rising out of the base, which was like a massive bird bath, was a stone eagle perching upon a marble pillar. Water sprayed upwards around it, the peaks reaching the level of the eagle's knees.
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind blew a string of maple leaves up and around the eagle's head, finally settling above the statue in the shape of a five-point star.
Remaining in this shape, the leaves began dancing around the garden: twirling, rising, falling and at one point moving in a circle so the star looked to be spinning. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, especially because of the magical surroundings. I noticed the water spouting up higher to reflect my amazement.
I turned to see Adam using one hand to direct the leaves (element control was a process of the mind, similar to thought) while the other clutched a rose from the red garden. Brow furrowed in immense concentration, Adam let go of the rose (his other hand stilling in the same instant) and sent it floating towards me. I stood motionless watching it, not knowing whether to cry and run up to embrace Adam or turn my back and flee from the heartbreakingly beautiful scene.
The rose gently rose upwards to the level of my face. I closed my eyes as the petals touched my cheek. The rose spun around, caressing my skin. After a few seconds, the motion stopped. The petals remained in contact with my face for another few seconds and then they moved away. I opened my eyes to find Adam standing centimetres from my face. I looked down to see him holding the rose, stroking a petal, possibly imagining it was my skin.
Suddenly, Adam thrust out the rose as if he couldn't bear to hold it anymore. I took it and then stood there looking into his eyes for a few moments. I looked away, feeling uncomfortable.
"I've got one more thing to show you," he murmured.

'I'm scared of you,' Steenkamp told Pistorius in text message
By Vanessa Romeo
PRETORIA (Reuters) - Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, said she was scared of the South African track star in a text message sent less than three weeks before he shot her dead, a police expert told his murder trial on Monday.
The Olympic and Paralympic athlete is on trial for the murder of 29-year-old model and law graduate Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder, saying he was deeply in love with Steenkamp, who he had been dating for a few months, and that he mistook her for an intruder hiding in a toilet at his luxury Pretoria home.
However, text messages between the pair in the weeks leading up to the shooting painted a picture of a volatile, stormy relationship, with Steenkamp accusing Pistorius of continual jealousy and outbursts of anger.
"I'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and of how you will react to me," one message sent by Steenkamp on January 27, 2013, said.
As police expert Francois Moller read out the messages to the court on Day 14 of the trial, Pistorius sat in the dock, his head buried in his hands.
"We are living in a double standard relationship. Every five seconds I hear about how you dated another chick. You really have dated a lot of people yet you get upset if I mention one funny story with a long-term boyfriend," the Steenkamp message continued.
"You make me happy 90% of the time and I think we are amazing together but I am not some other bitch you may know trying to kill your vibe." Continued...

Gyorko Turns the Switch
PEORIA, Ariz. -- It didn't take Jedd Gyorko long to make an impact in his second big league spring training. In his first spring at-bat against Seattle's Hector Noesi, the San Diego Padres prospect took a 2-1 fastball deep for a grand slam.
On Tuesday, Gyorko didn't even need that many pitches. Pinch hitting in the bottom of the eighth, Gyorko swatted his third homer of the spring in 10 at-bats on the first pitch from Cincinnati's Wilkin De La Rosa, putting the Padres up, 7-5.
"Gyorko's done a nice job. He's swung the bat well in practice and in batting practice, done a nice job," says San Diego manager Bud Black.
So far this spring, Gyorko -- the No. 71 prospect in the minors as ranked by Baseball America -- has hit .400 in four games, with nine RBI and just two strikeouts in 10 at-bats. Gyorko has spent much of his life as a third baseman, but last year, the Padres – knowing full well that incumbent hot cornerman Chase Headley had third base locked down for the foreseeable future – decided that the best way to get Gyorko to the big leagues was for him to switch positions.
"They told me about a month into the season last year," Gyorko says. "So, I was kind of alternating between third and second for about half the games, from that point on. I was excited when they told me that I could have the chance to go over there. I played there when I was little, and I've always enjoyed playing second base, so it was definitely an exciting time."
Despite being a third baseman by trade, Gyorko's fielding percentage at second (.989) is much better than at third (.951), though he has only played 48 games at second, while playing 223 at third in the minors.
"The games that he's played, he seemed very solid at second base," Black says. "He's comfortable at second base. He played a lot of second base as an amateur, and a lot last year as a minor league player. He's doing his thing. He's doing what our minor league people expected he'd do. He's a good player."
At West Virginia, after starting his career as a shortstop with a 21-game hitting streak, Gyorko switched to second base his sophomore season, hitting .421. No matter where Gyorko plays, nothing affects his work at the dish. As a junior for the Mountaineers, he switched back to short and hit .381 with 19 homers and 57 RBIs, and was drafted in the second round (59th overall) by the Padres in the 2010 MLB Draft.
In 2011, Gyorko hit .333, splitting time between High-A and Double-A, earning an invite to big league camp as a third baseman, where, despite the fact that Headley stood as quite a large road block on his way to the Major Leagues, he still bonded with the veteran infielder.
"Chase is an awesome guy, and he's first-class all the way," says Gyorko. "If I ever have any questions, I'm always able to go to him, and he's always there for me. That's what you look for in a leader, and that's what he does. Younger guys seem to always go to him, and if we ever need him, he's always there for us."
Last season, while in the process of making the switch to second, Gyorko just kept on hitting. In 2012, splitting time between Double-A and the Pacific Coast League, Gyorko 30 bombs with a .311/.373/.547 slash line.
"You never take your at-bats out into the field, and you never take your fielding into the box with you, so it's a completely different part of the game. I've been pretty fortunate. It's good that we have a little bit of an extended spring this year, that I can go out and get some extra work. We have some of the best coaches in baseball, so I'm definitely blessed to have them around and get me the work that I need."
All the while, he was honing his glove.
"Obviously, the first change is the angle," says Gyorko. "Coming off the bag, the ball's going to be coming on a different side of the field. You've got to get used to lefties pulling the ball and righties pushing the ball that way, so making that adjustment, and then also being around the base is probably the most important thing. At third base, you don't really have to worry about being around the base, you don't have to worry about your pivots, so it's getting used to that, and then going out there and keep working every day to get better."
After his first spring game, he spent an hour on one of the back fields at the Peoria Sports Complex, fielding even more grounders at second.
"We only did that the one day, it just happened to be the first game," says Gyorko. "We've been able to get the work in before the games usually, so if I feel the need to get a couple extra groundballs, the coaching staff is always available, and I can go out there and get my extra work in."
While the Padres have yet to speak with Gyorko about where he'll wind up this season -- the fact that he's wearing a scrub-sized No. 68 jersey gives some indication -- it's obvious that he won't be in the minors for much longer.
"We haven't talked about breaking camp," says Gyorko. "It's still a long ways off, so a lot is still to be determined. They just said to come out and work hard and try to earn a spot."

A Sydney jury on Saturday found Milat, a 51 year-old road worker, guilty of the seven murders and of kidnapping Paul Onions, another British backpacker, who escaped after Milat pulled a gun on him in January 1990. Before sentencing Milat to seven life prison sentences for the murders, and another six years for the kidnapping, Mr Justice David Hunt said: "I agree entirely with those verdicts. Any other, in my view, would have flown in the face of reality."
The judge added: "The jury's verdicts mean that the prisoner was involved, either alone or in company, in a criminal enterprise to pick up [the backpackers] and then to murder them all. In my view, it is inevitable that the prisoner was not alone in that criminal enterprise."
Ian Lloyd, the Sydney QC who advised police in 1994 that there was enough evidence to charge Milat, said yesterday that Milat's conviction did not mean necessarily that the case was closed. Police investigators added that, in the light of evidence revealed during the four-month trial, their inquiries would continue and that others could be charged.
Those inquiries would almost certainly embrace the Milat family. Terry Martin, Milat's barrister, put forward a defence at the trial based on mistaken identity. He conceded that the serial killer probably came from the Milat family, but that it was more likely to be one of Ivan's younger brothers, Richard, 40, or Walter, 44, acting alone or together. Both denied any involvement.
Ivan Milat, the man who perpetrated Australia's most sensational and gruesome serial killings, was being branded yesterday the "Beast of Belanglo", after the Belanglo State Forest, south of Sydney, where he murdered the British, German and Australian backpackers after picking them up on the Hume Highway between December 1989 and April 1992.
Ivan Milat is the fifth oldest in a family of 14. His father was a Yugoslav immigrant. He and his brothers, Richard and Walter, are gun-lovers. When police raided their homes and arrested Ivan in May 1994, they found crates of ammunition and guns. At his house they found the bolt of a rifle that had been used to shoot Ms Clarke, as well as her camera and a rope with her blood on it.
Milat's trial almost came unstuck a week before the jury of seven men and four women delivered their verdict. On 19 July, the 12th juror was stood down after he received a death threat which the judge kept secret until after the verdict. According to Mr Justice Hunt, the juror received a telephone call at home, in which a man said: "If you find ... him guilty, you're dead."
Last night, the juror appeared on television, his face and voice distorted. Asked if he believed the threat came from one of Milat's brothers, whom he saw in the witness box, he replied: "The voice, it could be."

Unfortunately, the waterproofing necessitates an enclosed battery. The 940mAh unit supplied lasts for less than an hour of shooting, and you won't be able to upgrade to a more capacious alternative. Nor would we recommend switching batteries underwater!
Being a Panasonic camcorder, the SW21 doesn't skimp on the manual settings, even if you're quite likely not to have time for careful configuration with such an action-oriented model. The Underwater mode remains, with its own discrete button. This applies colour correction to counteract the effects of shooting through water, as well as filtering the audio of motor noise, which will be much easier to hear thanks to the increased ability of water to transmit high-frequency sound.
Another button switches to manual mode, with a second press enabling manual focusing as well. Configuring these settings calls upon the cursor wheel under the LCD, and the process is about as easy as you could expect from such a system. Pressing down cycles through the options, with the other directions selecting them. You can configure shutter speed from 1/25th to 1/8000th, and independently adjust the iris from F16 to F1.8. Up to 18dB of video gain can be added once the aperture is fully open. The Soft skin, Colour night view and Backlight compensation modes are also readily accessible from this. The PRE-REC function can be toggled here too. This buffers a few seconds of video at all times, so if you're a bit late with the record button you won't miss the shot.
You probably won't need to enter the full menu unless you need to alter the quality setting or enable a scene mode. The usual five options are available here, including Sports, Portrait, Low light, Spotlight and Surf & Snow. Although extreme shooting conditions are the SW21's primary focus, Panasonic at least recognised the importance of Internet video and added a Web Mode, which has its own discrete button. This doesn't change the video resolution or data rate, but ends each recording when it gets to 10 minutes in length.
Why is there no word about Sanyo VPC-WH1 waterproof dual camera? It seems to me it is absolutely superior to SDR-SW21. It shoots HD video, is waterproof up to 3 m and has a battery that lasts for 3 hours.
James hasn't reviewed or even seen the Sanyo model yet so he can't judge other models against it. At best the only thing he could say about it is that exists, which is of little use to anyone. Rest assured we'll try and get hold of the VPC-WH1 as soon as possible.
Also, the Sanyo is about 㿲 (20 per cent) more expensive and looks quite big and chunky so it's not necessarily an out and out winner.
@Mervin What he said, basically. I can't compare a model I have tested to one I haven't seen at all. From Sanyo's previous efforts, bar the most recent VPC-HD2000 (http://www.trustedreviews.c..., the new underwater model may not be all that competitive. But I will definitely reserve judgement, since Sanyo's camcorders have been improving all the time.
Ok... the video recording quality is great and the underwater part is pretty cool but when it says that it is shockproof from up to 4 feet, don't believe that bullshit. I dropped it today from less than 3 feet and the whole screen is black and it can't be fixed so now I have to send it back in for a new one.

What 10 Years Of Marriage Looks Like
Thinking about what life was like 10 years ago makes my heart melt. It was such an awesome time. So young and in love. Two years without kids. I want to go to there. Things were so different back then. I love thinking of the old us 10 years ago. So many dreams for the future. And hope. So much damn hope.

The Datapad's Content
The Overseer, whose face resembled one of a tiger, turned on the datapad and read its newest entry. His expression didn't change, even though he sighed once in a while.
"So," I said, "what does it say?"
"Can't you read Aurebesh, apprentice?"
"Nope, not at all."
The Cathar shook his head. "And yet you speak Basic. Very well, this is what it says: 'Overseer Fjonni, this is a command from Darth Styx: give a training saber and a holocommunicator to the courier who delivered you this message; tell him to go to the Tomb of Ajunta Pall and to turn on the holocommunicator once he has reached the tomb. Godspeed, Ely.'"
"Does he mean the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, in the Valley of the Dark Lords?"
"Is there any other?" The Overseer asked ironically as he handed me the saber and the holocom.
"I guess there isn't," I replied as I ignited the training saber.
"You should be proud of yourself. The Sith training saber has millions of microscopic, paralyzing barbs that simulate the loss of a limb. It is rare to see a rookie purge the blade's poison and overcome his opponents after such a beating."
"Thanks, Overseer Fjonni. What advices can you give me about roaming the Valley?"
"The Valley of the Dark Lords is the 'resting' place for many of our ancestors: Marka Ragnos, Ajunta Pall, Tulak Hord - you name them," replied the Overseer, "Be respectful; more important, be cautious. Many dangers linger among those tombs - K'lor'slugs and tomb looters are the least of them."
"Thank you for your guidance."
"Now go, 'Ely'. Don't keep your master waiting."
I left the Overseer's office more relieved, now that I had a training saber too. It would give me some leverage against a possible duel against a fellow acolyte - or that mad apprentice - or even Vukral! I held it as I left the Academy and went down towards a large underground mausoleum. A small entrance was the door to the Sith necropolis, and it stood open to the arrival of a clumsy Feeorin...

Town started 2012 with defeat, after losing to Nottingham Forest by three goals to one at Portman Road.
Goals from Marcus Tudgay and Garath McCleary saw Blues behind at the break, before skipper Grant Leadbitter pulled a goal back from the penalty spot.
Forest wrapped up the win when Tudgay added a third late on.
Paul Jewell made two changes to the starting line-up that lost to Reading last time out, with Ivar Ingimarsson replacing the suspended Ibrahima Sonko and Andy Drury coming in for Michael Chopra.
Right-back Jack Ainsley was named on the bench in place of Reece Wabara, who returned to Manchester City after the game at the Madejski Stadium.
Drury was eager to make an impression and he tested Lee Camp inside the first minute, but the Northern Ireland international was equal to the shot.
However it was the visitors who made the brighter start to the game and Tudgay should have opened the scoring after just four minutes, but he fired over Arran Lee-Barrett's bar after being sent through on goal.
But the striker made up for that miss by firing Forest in front a minute later. Town failed to clear the ball, which was worked on to Tudgay and the former Sheffield Wednesday man made no mistake, firing the ball emphatically past Lee-Barrett and into the top corner.
Steve Cotterill's side could have extended their lead after seven minutes as McCleary dribbled into the area before laying the ball off to Lewis McGugan, but the midfielder dragged his shot wide.
Town responded to this sustained Forest pressure and were unlucky not to draw level after ten minutes, with Daryl Murphy flashing a left-footed drive from the edge of the area just wide of Camp's post.
Blues were beginning to get a foothold on the game and were unlucky not to equalise after 19 minutes. Damien Delaney headed across goal for Jay Emmanuel-Thomas to head at goal, but he found Camp standing in his way as the 'keeper held onto the ball well.
Lee-Barrett had to be alert soon after, parrying well from a George Boateng effort after 23 minutes.
That was a warning sign for Blues though, as just two minutes later Forest doubled their lead through winger McCleary. Town again failed to clear the danger and McCleary tricked his way past Delaney before firing into the top corner to further enhance The Reds' lead.
McGugan was looking a threat for the visitors and he almost scored a third for Forest with a long range effort that dipped just the wrong side of Lee-Barrett's goal.
Town looked for a way back into the game and Carlos Edwards was unlucky with right-footed drive from 25 yards that Camp did well to keep out.
The Trinidad international then crossed for Daryl Murphy after 37 minutes, but the Celtic loanee saw his header again kept out by Camp.
A minute later and Town again tested Camp in the Forest goal, and this time beat him, only to see Emmanuel-Thomas' long range effort come back off the underside of the crossbar.
Blues again went close on the stroke of half-time, with Murphy firing over from close range, before the referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half.
It was Forest who started the second half the brighter though and Tudgay was denied a second goal of the game by a great save from Lee-Barrett, who clawed out the forward's header at the near post.
Just two minutes after the interval and the visitors again missed a good opportunity to increase their lead. McCleary went past Cresswell before crossing for Reid, who saw his goalbound effort cleared off the line by Edwards, whilst McGugan could only fire the loose ball wide of Lee-Barrett's goal.
The midfielder than tried his luck from a free-kick just outside the Town box, but again failed to test Lee-Barrett as his shot went over the crossbar.
Town did then come back into the game and Martin fashioned a chance for Blues after beating Chris Gunter down the left flank before crossing into the box, but neither Emmanuel-Thomas nor Murphy managed to have a shot at goal, as the Forest defence closed down the pair.
Emmanuel-Thomas was looking lively for Town and he flashed a dangerous ball across the six yard box that Chopra was unlucky not to get on the end of in the 71st minute.
A minute later and substitute Nathan Ellington went close with a header from a Drury cross that flashed just wide of Camp's post.
But Town did pull a goal back shortly after through skipper Leadbitter. Emmanuel-Thomas danced his way into the box before being brought down by a number of Red shirts, with referee Carl Boyeson pointing to the spot.
Leadbitter duly converted the spot-kick, despite the ball hitting the inside of both posts before nestling in the bottom corner.
But Town's lead lasted just three minutes as Tudgay scored his second of the game, and Forest's third, glancing a header beyond the reach of Lee-Barrett, after being picked out by Andy Reid's cross.
Emmanuel-Thomas was still looking lively and he tested Camp from just outside the area with eight minutes remaining, that the Forest 'keeper did well to turn behind for a corner after taking a light deflection.
Town couldn't force a way back into the game and began 2012 with defeat.
Blues are next in action on Saturday, travelling to Hull in an FA Cup third round tie.
Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards, Delaney, Ingimarsson, Cresswell, Martin (Ellington 70), Bowyer (Chopra 42), Leadbitter, Drury, Murphy (Carson 65), Emmanuel-Thomas. Subs not used: Wright, Ainsley.
Booked: Leadbitter

Hayfork Youth Center target of burglary
HAYFORK, Calif. - The Hayfork Youth Center has been burglarized twice in the last three months.
The center provides a safe place for activities for the youth in the Hayfork area.
The first time the center was broken into was back in May when someone broke a window and made off with video game equipment, among many other things.
Since that break-in a new light was donated to help illuminate the area and hopefully ward off potential burglars but over the Fourth of July weekend the center was hit again.
"I wanna go throttle somebody but I don't know who. It's so unnerving for one thing," said program director Alsah Bundi.
Bundi is disappointed and frustrated about the ordeal.
On Friday, July 11, the center is cleaned up but the items recently taken have yet to be replaced.
"How many times when we can't afford to replace things anymore?" asked Bundi.
Youth center coordinator Kathy Johnson, explained what she saw when she returned from the holiday.
"I was really disappointed because as soon as I opened the door I could see there was trash dumped all over the floor."
The burglars threw a large piece of cement through one of the buildings windows.
They stole more than $2,000 in items including an XBox, Playstation, two laptops, a large bean bag chair and many more items.
"Most of the items were donated so we don't have the money to replace them," said Johnson.
Johnson and Bundi said it's sad because the burglars are not just stealing from the youth but from the community too, since the majority of items in the center are donated.
But despite it all, Johnson said the center is trying to stay positive and hopefully learn a lesson from the experience.
"Well we're teaching the kids resilience too so we'll just move on and we've already had several of the youth who came yesterday brought their game system with them to share with the others and not leave it here."
Anyone with information should contact the Trinity County Sheriff's Department.

The flood-like situation in the Valley will be a major hurdle for school students to attend the schools for Prime Minister's September 5 speech.
The government of Jammu and Kashmir has closed all educational institutions from September 4 to September 8, 2014 owing to flood-like situation in most areas in Kashmir.
"The Cabinet which met here today under the chairmanship of chief minister Omar Abdullah ordered closure of government and private schools and colleges in the state till September 7, 2014. The closure has been ordered to ensure safety of school-going children,'' read a government press statement.
Most parts of Srinagar and rural areas in the Valley have been water-logged due to incessant rains in last 48 hours. All schools and colleges in five districts of Srinagar, Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian remain closed on Thursday in view of the looming flood, officials said.
These districts have been most affected due to the continuous rains for the past three days.
Meanwhile, the Kashmir University has postponed all examinations for Thursday and has suspended class work in all its departments for two days in view of the inclement weather.
According to the Met department, the weather is likely to remain the same in next 48 hours. The weathermen say heavy to moderate rainfall is expected till Saturday. The government has also sounded an alert for flash floods and avalanches in many areas.
The state government had on Tuesday passed directions to 23,485 schools, including private schools, to make necessary arrangement for beaming and airing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Teachers' Day speech on September 5 live for students.
As reported by Hindustan Times, the government had made available 12,500 television sets and two edusats in the cities of Jammu and Srinagar. Over 7,333 transistors were also likely to be distributed in schools located in remote areas with no electricity.
The move, however, was being opposed by a private schools body on Wednesday describing the government's directive to attend to the Prime Minister's speech as "unconstitutional."

Must-Have Books for Food Lovers
August 31st, 2008
With the end of summer upon us, it seems as though there are still a hundred and one things to do. For us the last couple weeks of the summer have been filled with summer concerts (saw both Radiohead and DEVO this week), reconnecting with old friends over wine in Temecula, a momentous 10 year class reunion and one last beach barbecue. Although I have to admit, for those of us in San Diego, September marks the start of "our" summer. As the tourist head home and the kids go back to school our coastline becomes clear, both of vacationer freeway traffic and sunbathers. In the kitchen we have been inspired by a couple of recent cookbook purchases.
If you had not been able to tell, we LOVE meat! So it will be no surprise that two of those books focus on meat.
Perhaps my favorite books of the three is The River Cottage Meat Book which I first heard about when Robin with
Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing was co-authored by Michael Ruhlman who I remember best from his rants with Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations. This purchase stemmed from my fascination with meat curing. Although I have yet to delve into the process myself I am very excited about the possibilities and great history.
The third holds a wealth of general cooking knowledge, On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen, is a must-have for any food lover. In fact, I have to confess that I am embarrassed that it has taken me this long to get around to buying it. It now includes revisions from its 1984 debut. We have already found it be a great resource when a couple of weeks ago we found that the purple wax beans we received from our CSA turned green when cooked!

how about a veggie specific book? i have a couple but nothing i'd consider "must have".

Matt, I have a lot of vegetarian blogs that I read but do not have any books, yet. Let me know if you come across one. On Food and Cooking is a great book for veggie eaters too. You of all people will totally appreciate this book for sure. And for the section about meat, well your girl friend Gretchen can appreciate that :)
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I have Mcgee's but always wanted to get those meat and charcuterie books. I had a $25 amazon reward coupon somewhere…

pollution in our land, water, and air, especially in urban areas and where industrial activity occurs. A form of waste, this pollution has consequences for both our own health and for the environment of our world.
In this article, we focus on many of the environmental impacts of air pollution that are affecting our world on a daily basis. Perhaps by understanding the connections between the pollution that humanity produces and its impacts on wildlife, natural resources, and ourselves, we can together make the changes that are necessary to prevent such pollution and live in harmony with nature, passing a more sustainable world on to future generations.
- Acid Rain
- Eutrophication
- Haze
- Wildlife Impacts
Harmful effects of ozone depletion include an increased incidence of skin cancer, cataracts, and impaired immune systems, which can impact both humans and animals alike. Increased UV radiation can also damage plant life and lead to a reduction in growth².
- Crop and Forest Damage
increase in global temperatures. Global climate change has many negative impacts, including stronger storms, droughts, and an increase in pests and diseases, facilitated by warmer average global temperatures and longer periods of warmer weather seasons and erratic weather patterns. Such effects now appear to have become the Earth's "new normal." Climate change is also predicted to have major impacts on human health, agriculture, water resources, forests, wildlife, and coastal areas.

This time of year, as football fans begin forecasting how their favorite teams will fare in 2010, one key stat is used: How many returning starters does their team have? By that measure, there will likely be many other teams in the Suburban East Conference that will have a leg up on the Hastings High School team. The Raiders return a total of eight starters. That leaves 14 spots that will be filled by newcomers, and the field of those newcomers is smaller than normal for the Raiders.
Balance. For Hastings coach Rita Girgen, that word will have all kinds of meaning, and all kinds of importance, for her 2010 Hastings girls volleyball team. "We definitely lost some key players from last year, but we have had players totally step up so far," Girgen said. "Those players who have moved on to college have set the standard. They've encouraged the kids who are coming back, and they're running with it. "We are very deep this year. This year, we don't just have one go-to player. We're going to have four go-to players.
New faces are the norm this fall for Hastings cross country coach John Dewall. The longtime Hastings coach saw the graduation last summer of many decorated runners for both the girls and the boys, leaving him looking high and low this fall for enough athletes to field competitive teams for the boys and the girls. The good news? He's found some runners. The boys and the girls are not deep, but berths in the state meet are certainly possible for at least a few boys and girls. "We have a lot of new kids this fall," Dewall said.
As the Hastings boys soccer team takes the field this fall, they are being led by their third coach in as many seasons. Thankfully for many of the players, their new coach is anything but a new face. Shane Lanning, a HHS graduate, returns to his alma mater to lead the Raiders. Lanning knows well what the team is facing. As a high school student here, he had three coaches in four years. If there's one thing that will help the Raiders get through the transition, it will be attitude, Lanning said. "Attitude is key for me," he said.
It's a whole new year, a whole new team, a whole new season and a fresh start for the Hastings girls soccer team. Head coach Joanne Teigland is determined to make this season a fun one and one in which the Raiders are more successful. "The whole team is awesome," Teigland said. "I love my team. I'm so excited. They busted their butts at tryouts. They worked so hard. They are upbeat, too. "A big thing for us this season is coming together as a team. There's a lot of skilled players, and the kids in the younger classes really understand the game.
Four major changes are planned for this fall and next year at the Hastings Country Club. Starting Sept. 1 the club, fighting a downturn in the economy and in the golf industry, has dramatically cut rates for members, opened its restaurant to the public, offered tee times to the public every day and come up with a new golf-only option for members. "It's just a reflection of the economy and the golf industry in general," said club president Nick Conzemius. "This is just something we have to take a look at. The golf industry is struggling.
The fall sports season is officially under way at Hastings High School. The girls tennis team from Hastings kicked things off over the weekend, traveling to Duluth for a tournament organized by Duluth East. Hastings won two close matches and lost one. Vs Duluth East Hastings began the tournament with a 4-3 win over Duluth East. Results went like this: At first singles, Duluth's Qwong Suthijindawong defeated Lindsey Reinisch of Hastings, 6-0, 6-0 At second singles, Duluth's Annie Mahoney won over Kirsten Peterson, 6-4, 6-1. At the third spot, Hastings' Morgan Tjomsland won over Carolin
The summer season continues for two area amateur baseball teams. The Hastings Hawks won their state tournament game Saturday in Willmar, setting up a big 7:30 p.m. game this Saturday against Shakopee in Bird Island. If the Hawks win, they'll play against at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Willmar against the winner of the Sauk Rapids and Burnsville game. The tournament continues Sept. 4-6. The second area team still alive are the Hampton Cardinals.
Like many people, a poor economy meant Terry Gilomen was looking for work. For eight years, he worked as the service manager at Tahoe Sports in Rosemount, fixing boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles and everything in between. The business closed a few years ago as the economy took its toll on the marine and powersports industry, and Gilomen needed work. Slowly he began fixing broken down toys at his home south of Farmington. It didn't take long for him to realize he was going to make a living at it.
One year ago, the Hastings boys soccer coaching position came available after longtime coach Jim Niemann stepped down. Former Hastings goalkeeper and HHS graduate Shane Lanning thought long and hard about applying for the position, but with his second child on the way, the timing was anything but ideal. He decided against applying. It turns out, he didn't have to wait long to get his chance to lead the Raiders. After one season with the varsity program, Marshall Morehead resigned just two weeks ago.

Mon Dieu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mon Dieu" (my God in French) is a 1960 song by Édith Piaf. The lyrics are by Michel Vaucaire and the music is by Charles Dumont. Édith Piaf sang this song originally in French, but recorded it in English as well. The song has been sung by many other singers, such as Mireille Mathieu, too.
Elaine Paige covered the song on her 1994 album Piaf.

The Knox City Council last week discussed the old laundromat building at 64 E. Lake St., which will soon be demolished. Mayor Rick Chambers says he has already gotten a few quotes on its demolition, but they are still waiting on the necessary paperwork to be completed before any quote can be accepted.
Chambers told the council that if the paperwork is completed in time, the Board of Works will likely discuss and possibly choose the winning bid at their next meeting.
Chambers also mentioned that Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Plymouth has expressed interest in going into the laundromat and salvaging any usable items to be sold in their resale store. Chambers said they would be interested in taking light fixtures, doors, equipment, and whatever they feel can be sold at the resale store, located at 116 S. Walnut St.
The demolition bids included figures for scrapping the contents of the building, including the old washers and dryers. Chambers explained that the bids for the old equipment ranged from $500–$1000 for the city to scrap the old equipment, and he said for that amount, he would rather give the contents of the building away.
"So if that's all the more we're going to get out of it, I would like to see this resale store come in and they can use that stuff and help the people out. But if it's much more than that, then we could probably use it," Chambers said.
The council agreed to wait until the remaining demolition bids come in, and if the offered amount for the old equipment does not exceed $1000, they will likely allow Marshall County Habitat for Humanity ReStore to salvage what they would like.

Skip to comments.Dai vs. NIAC :The real David vs. Goliath story ( Iranian Lobby hidden in Washington --revealed)
Posted on 10/02/2012 9:28:46 PM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
It was only a few years back, when Trita Parsi, the brash president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) bragged about beating AIPAC and likened his victory to David versus Goliath. Flush with private enterprises, US government support, and foundation donors, NIACs swaggering Mafioso was determined to form the most powerful organization to advocate for policies favorable to the regime in Iran.
But, faced with the rogue regimes iniquitous track record and strong anti-regime sentiment in the United States, Trita Parsi had to reinvent NIAC and cleverly disguise his treacherous intentions and make the bad look good! Thus, began Parsis campaign of lies and deception
Unaware of Parsis wicked intentions, some Iranian-Americans were pleased when NIAC was initially introduced as the largest Iranian-American organization representing them in the United States. It had been almost two decades that the Iranian-American community had been unable to form a credible organization to promote their interests.

Stuttgart Ballet: Romeo And Juliet, London
John Cranko's Romeo And Juliet predates by 10 years the Kenneth MacMillan version, known and loved in Britain. It was first created for La Scala Ballet in 1958 and revised especially for Stuttgart Ballet in 1962 after Cranko moved there as artistic director. Forty years on, this interpretation of Prokofiev's monumental score remains the Stuttgart company's hallmark production. Choreographed for 70 dancers in Cranko's bravura athletic style, it bustles with a vivid sense of street life as the world of Verona whirls around the two young lovers and their unfolding tragedy.

ZooNation: Into The Hoods, London
After its success on a cross-UK tour, Katie Prince's vibrant, street-smart production gets a deserved showing in the West End. This hip-hop version of the Stephen Sondheim musical Into The Woods relocates the story to the inner city and sets its two child characters on a series of fairy-tale quests in which they encounter a variety of mean, mischievous variations on familiar characters. Alongside Spinderella is Lil Red, defined by her bright red hoodie; Rap-on-Zel, producer of the finest quality hair extensions in the city; and the basement-dwelling Jaxx, owner of a white iPod that the children are on a mission to find. The all dancing, singing and rapping cast perform to an eclectic musical mix including Gorillaz, James Brown and Prince.
· Novello Theatre, WC2, to May 10
Spring Loaded, London
The return of this annual spring season is a welcome addition to The Place's calendar, focusing as it does on a range of mature but small-scale work that doesn't always suit larger venues. The programme opens with Magpie, the latest mixed bill from Theo Clinkard and Antonio Grove. With featured choreographers ranging from Mark Bruce to Broadway darling Stephen Mear, and work that ranges from the absurdist wit of New Art Club to a revival of Trisha Brown's early minimalist classic Accumulation, it's almost a season all by itself. Further ahead, look out for Lost Dog's Hungry Ghosts and The Wild Party by Rosie Kay, as well as Nina Rajarani's Play Ball.

In The Wings: Peter And The Wolf, on tour
Prokofiev's 1936 score has long been a favoured tool in attempts to persuade children to love classical music. Over the years a distinguished line of orchestras and narrators (including Peter Ustinov) have retold the story of Peter's mission, along with his farmyard friends, to capture the feral wolf prowling just outside the fence. This version expands the original work into a two act piece of dance theatre, with its characters updated to a cast of 21st-century school kids. Director Anne Geenen has assembled a distinguished group of collaborators, including choreographer Didy Veldman, Philip Feeney (additional music), plus the booming Brian Blessed as narrator.

Malaysia Says Accord Reached to Hand Over Bodies of MH17Shamim Adam, Manirajan Ramasamy and Aliaksandr Kudrytski
Pro-Russian rebels released bodies from the crash site of the Malaysian jet that was shot down over eastern Ukraine last week as U.S. and European leaders hammered home their message that President Vladimir Putin is isolating himself on the world stage.
The corpses stored in trains left for the city of Kharkiv after a rescue effort that was hampered by local insurgents and sparked a global controversy. As European foreign ministers head to Brussels for a summit tomorrow to discuss further sanctions, President Barack Obama urged Putin to rein in the rebels, who he said were "Russia-backed."
Russia is locked in its worst diplomatic crisis with the U.S. and its allies since the end of the Cold War. Already sanctioned for his decision to annex Crimea in March, Putin is now facing the prospect of further penalties after the U.S. indicated that it believes the Russian military supplied the missile that downed MH17. Putin counters that his opponents are using the incident for "selfish political gains."
"The MH17 tragedy increases potential for further measures against Russia, and deepens the rift between Russia and the West," Tatiana Orlova, senior economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London, said by e-mail. "The public outcry in the EU countries affected by the tragedy increases the domestic pressure on EU leaders to follow the U.S. and impose 'third-round' sanctions against Russia, which the EU has so far has eschewed."
Handover, Access
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the separatists agreed to hand over bodies of victims and grant access to the crash site. The accord to transfer the remains of 282 people to the Netherlands was reached with Alexander Borodai, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Najib said today at his official residence in the administrative capital of Putrajaya. The two black boxes will be handed over to a Malaysian team in Donetsk tonight, he said.
Malaysia lost 43 citizens when the Boeing Co. 777 on Flight 17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed July 17. It was the second-worst hit nation after the Netherlands with 193 passengers, while Australia had 27, according to a statement from Malaysian Airline System Bhd.
Kharkiv, Amsterdam
Refrigerated train cars carrying corpses and body parts of crash victims will be moved to the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, where Dutch representatives will take control, according to Najib. The remains will then be flown to Amsterdam before the bodies of Malaysian nationals are sent home after any necessary forensic analysis, he said.
The site of the crash at Grabovo, less than 60 miles from Russia, has become a focus of international outrage as armed rebels hover over the investigation, making reclamation of wreckage and corpses more difficult. Speaking at the White House today, U.S. President Barack Obama said Putin has "direct responsibility" to compel separatists to stop hampering a probe.
"There seems to be some progress, but it is going step by step," Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said during a news conference in The Hague today. "It can take as much as 10 to 12 hours for the train to reach Kharkiv. From there, the bodies will be flown to the Netherlands for identification. This is good news."
As leaders from London to Washington signaled Putin risks becoming a pariah, the Russian leader suggested they were playing politics. He blamed the downing of the plane on the Ukraine conflict and said that international investigators should have full access.
More Sanctions?
As Putin confronted worldwide scorn over the crash, Germany and the U.K. sought to limit expectations that EU foreign ministers will agree on punishing Russia for its alleged role in downing the plane.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the EU's 28 member states have to "increase pressure" on Russia, though "it'll be no easy meeting" tomorrow in Brussels. A U.K. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private, said the Dutch government had requested the EU delay actions that might provoke Russia until the bodies of passengers and crew on flight MH17 are recovered.
The conflict in east Ukraine is raging on, even as the eyes of the world focus on the crash. Government troops seized rebel-held towns in the Donbas region and took over part of Donetsk, according to a Defense Ministry statement today.
Russian Counterclaims
A Russian military official said today that the country's military didn't transfer a Buk missile to insurgents, directly contradicting U.S. accusations that the weapon was supplied by Russia. Top Russian commanders displayed a series of satellite and other images they said backed up their contention that the U.S. and Ukrainian conclusions that the plane was downed by a rebel-fired missile don't reflect the facts.
Borodai, the separatist leader, today repeated that rebels didn't shoot down the plane.
Separatists had at least three Russian-made surface-to-air missile systems, known by their NATO designation SA-11 Gadfly, Ukraine state security official Vitaliy Nayda said on July 19. Three of the systems were transported back to Russia just hours after the plane was shot down, he said. Nayda displayed photos that he said showed them on the road to the Russian border.
The images were "manipulated," Russia's military said.
The Gadfly, known locally as the Buk-M, is a radar-guided weapon that can locate a target at a range of 140 miles and reach altitudes as high as about 72,000 feet, according to the army-technology.com website.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told reporters today that Ukraine's armed forces haven't fired surface-to-air missiles, that the rocket used to down the plane came from Russia and that those who fired it had received training in Russia. He said the Netherlands and Ukraine's international partners should lead the investigation into the crash.
