Very clean hotel. Bathroom was spotless. Braakfast also good. About 20 minutes walk from the nice center of Wernigerode.
This is my second stay at the guest House. The rooms are nice, the heating with turned on all the time (which was good as it was -3 outside). I am planning on going back again.
Good breafast. The room was quiet.The bathroom was clean. The staff were all very friendly. The room was very small
Breakfast was splendid and hotel overall excellent My error in not paying correctly
The breakfast looked nice. We arrived at 18:05, the place was closed and unmanned. A sign instructed us to call a mobile # that didn't pick up. We called a other number we had and were instructed on how to collect our key from a safe box on the outside wall.
Location,service at breakfast,(breakfast very good), staff very friendly and helpful The rooms need build in wardrooms(kleiderschrank) there is plenty room for this behind door, I would then classify the hotel/pension as very good
breakfast was 1st , class, and the hotel was only a 5 minute walk to the town centre and we were able to leave our car at the hoteland walk everywhere. very , very good

R. Kelly Speaks Out to Fans After Throat Surgery — Watch
R. Kelly recorded a message to his fans after undergoing emergency throat surgery last month.
The controversial 'Ignition' singer was rushed to Chicago's Northwestern Memorial hospital on July 19, to have an abscess on one of his tonsils drained, and was officially discharged shortly after.
In the message, a gravelly-voiced Kells speaks from behind a white surgical mask and shades, thanking all the "prayer warriors" for supporting him, despite the various troubles that continue to follow the 44-year-old singer.
"I want to say thanks to all the prayer warriors out there for supporting me, praying for me," he said, between coughs. "The doctor said the surgery went well. I know it may not look like it, but it did. I want y'all to continue to pray for me. Be strong out there, I will be back. I know it's a lot of negativity out there, please don't believe the hype. God is good all the time."
Despite his recent throat surgery, Kelly added that he plans to begin recording his new album as soon as possible. "Soon as I get a chance, I'm going back in the studio to work on my next album," he continued.
Kelly just completed the U.S. leg of his Love Letter tour. It is not yet known when he will be able to resume touring or recording.

University of Redlands soccer standout Richie Marquez was signed by the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer on Wednesday.
Marquez was selected 44th overall by the Union as the only NCAA Division III student-athlete chosen in the SuperDraft.
Following a successful preseason, Marquez became one of three Union draftees to receive a contract out of the original eight who were selected at the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, which took place in late January.
"Now that my dreams are finally coming true and I'm on the team, I'm extremely excited and thankful," Marquez said. "The whole experience since getting drafted has been very humbling, and it has really made me appreciate the opportunity I've been given. The coaching staff here in Philadelphia is amazing, the city is beautiful, and the fans are awesome!"
Marquez is one of the best players to suit up for the Bulldogs. He was named the 2013 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a defender and garnered a slew of other honors. He earned D3Soccer.com Third-Team All-America honors and was a first-team All-SCIAC and NSCAA All-Region honoree every year of his career with Redlands.

From chart-toppers to heart-stoppers, powerbrokers to record breakers (plus one rather special horse), we introduce a rundown of the 20 Australians (in no particular order) who have shaken up their field – for the better.
1. Gotye
Game Changed: Global Pop Music
Only two Australians have won Record of the Year Grammys: Olivia Newton-John and, as of February, Wally De Backer. As Gotye, he spent a decade making hits in his basement and playing EP launches to sweaty rooms of hipsters in St Kilda.
Then, with the world-conquering hit "Somebody That I Used to Know", Wally arrived: shaggy-haired and humble, planting the Australian flag on the world stage. After selling 13 million singles, the game of pop has been changed for the quirkier. "I want to be at the top of my game," Gotye tells us. "Doing gigs is a chance to show there's more to what I do than "That Guy Who Sings The Song With The Face Paint And The Girl".

WANDERERS were ranked a lowly 18th in a poll on the best away day experience in the Championship.
In a survey by the Football Supporters Federation, the Reebok Stadium received a score of 5.65 from those who had visited the ground, based on several factors from price and food, to transportation and access.
That score fell below the national average of 6.44 and the divisional average of 6.31.
Bury also fared badly, with the JD Stadium receiving a score of 5.60 – the fifth worst score in League Two.

A central feature of the holiday is the construction of a temporary "booth" or shelter, called a Sukkah, in which to live, or at the least, enjoy meals.

So the things that make me unique. First, I a huge nerd and I'm proud of that. So what that means is, I think bow ties are cool, Han shot first, and the flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible.
I have a unhealthy obsession with cartoons, but since my career goal is to produce them, I suppose it isn't that bad.
I have a few vices. I am a smoker, but I am trying to quit. Unfortunately, I've been trying to quit for the past 8 months. Needless to say it isn't going so well. I am not a huge drinker, but when I do decide that I feel like drinking I tend to go all out. Lastly, I do enjoy smoking a little MJ. Besides the obvious fact that I do really like it, I feel like it helps relieve stress.
I come for the east coast originally, Baltimore to be more specific. I moved to LA 6 years ago and have loved every minute of it. I work with my best friend of 20 years doing what I've dreamed of doing since I was 12 years old. That's pretty much me in a nut shell.

The European Commission has fined Microsoft €561 million ($711 million) for breaking a pledge to offer PC users a choice of internet browsers when they install its flagship Windows operating system.
The penalty imposed is a first for Brussels: no company has ever failed to keep its end of a bargain with EU authorities before.
In 2009, Microsoft struck a broad settlement with the EC to resolve disputes over the company's abuse of the dominance of Windows, which had spanned more than a decade. Back then, the company agreed to pay €860 million and give Windows users the option of choosing another browser rather than having Microsoft's Internet Explorer automatically installed.
But Microsoft failed to stick to the deal for some 15 million installations of Windows 7 software in Europe from May 2011 until July 2012. The company admitted the failure last year, adding that it was a mistake.
The EC's top competition regulator, Joaquin Almunia, said at a press conference that the fine reflected the size of the violation and the length of time it went on for. It was also intended to make an example of Microsoft and deter other companies from doing the same thing. In theory, the EC could have fined Microsoft up to 10 per cent of its global annual sales during the period the violation took place.
"A failure to comply is a very serious infringement that must be sanctioned accordingly," Mr Almunia said.
In all, Microsoft has now paid €2.2 billion in fines to the EC since 1998, when regulators opened their first investigations into the company after Sun Microsystems complained it had been denied access to technical documents.
Over the years, the EC has broadened its investigation to find out whether Microsoft had abused Windows' near-monopoly over the market for computer operating systems to corner other markets including server software, streaming media software, and internet browsers.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer still has a 56 per cent market share for internet browsers on PCs, according to statistics by Net Applications. Mozilla's Firefox has 20 per cent while Google's Chrome has 17 per cent. Microsoft is required to continue to offer consumers a choice of browsers until.
But the wider competitive landscape has changed greatly since the EC started its action against Microsoft. Software applications on mobile phones usually bypass browsers entirely. Tech companies are now often less concerned with internet browsers and more concerned about Google's dominance in internet search technology, Facebook's dominance in social networking, and Apple's dominance of mobile devices.
Mr Almunia conceded that the Commission had been "naive" in appointing Microsoft itself to oversee compliance with the agreement, and said the Commission won't allow that in the future.

The Los Angeles Dodgers could use another superb performance from Greinke as he gets the ball in the opener of this four-game, two-venue Freeway Series on Monday night.
Greinke (12-6, 2.65 ERA) is among the NL leaders in wins, ERA and strikeouts (153), but he's been particularly impressive at home. The right-hander is 14-3 with a 2.27 ERA in 23 starts there since joining the Dodgers via free agency after spending part of 2012 with the Angels.
The Dodgers (63-49) have won 19 of those games. However, they bailed him out in an 8-7 win over the Angels on May 27, 2013, when Greinke was hammered for six runs - his most in a Dodgers uniform - and 10 hits over four innings in his only matchup since departing Anaheim.
Greinke enters this meeting having allowed just one run over 15 innings in his last two outings while striking out 23. That run came in the second inning of Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning win over Atlanta, as he made it through eight despite battling right calf stiffness and fanned a season-high 13.
"My calf got a little sore, similar to spring training, but not to the same level," Greinke told MLB's official website, citing an injury that sidelined him for two weeks in March. "Sore the first couple of innings and got better as the game went on."
The Dodgers, who lead the NL West by 2 1/2 games over second-place San Francisco, surely wouldn't mind a similar performance after dropping two of three to the Chicago Cubs with Sunday's 7-3 loss.
They hit .222 against the Cubs after posting a .293 average during a season-high six-game winning streak.

Zayn Malik has been traipsing around Italy with Gigi Hadid, but he still has time to make changes to his upcoming Mind of Mine solo album — but even he cannot heal things between Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown.
Strangely, there are also headlines about Zayn Malik that imply that someone stole $5,000 and now wants to "buy" Zayn Malik. As it appears, this claim was made by a little girl, according to the Mirror, and is all just a joke in a video that happens to include Zayn Malik's name.
In the video, the little girl claims that she stole $5,000 from her dad and put the money in her lunchbox. Once she was at daycare, the little girl planned to get help to "buy Zayn Malik."
Outside of being kidnapped by children, Hollywood Life reported on March 3 that Zayn Malik's new album cover suddenly has a new look. After fans balked at him for making an album cover that looked a lot like Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, Zayn Malik decided to go with an image that his fans would likely adore for Mind of Mine — one of him shirtless.
Nevertheless, Zayn Malik should keep in mind that not everyone will do anything he says just because he does not have a shirt on. For example, Karrueche Tran is still ignoring Zayn Malik and Chris Brown's "Back to Sleep" attempts to wake her up to Chris again.
The song was released by Zayn Malik, Chris Brown, and Usher around February 22, and Urban Islandz states that Karrueche does not care about the lyrics that include her name.
Life and Style also said that Chris Brown was apologizing in "Back to Sleep" for cheating on Karrueche Tran with "a lot of women" — and employing Zayn Malik to warm her heart will likely never work.
However, it should be noted that Zayn Malik might not be finished with Italy just yet. Although he started out the first of March in Milan, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik might be traveling to other destinations in that country, according to MTV Italia.
A few noted places that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik could appear in Italy include Naples, Milan, and Campania.

Although the other locations have not been confirmed for both Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, there is a chance they will come out of hiding in Milan in order to return to Los Angeles. Assuredly, the paparazzi will love a return of Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid to Milan because the photographers repeatedly caught the two around the city being romantic, according to Movie News Guide.
It should also be noted that Zayn Malik is not going to let Gigi Hadid get crushed by a car while she is in Milan. Poor Kendall Jenner recently had to endure being in Milan for Fashion Week without Harry Styles, and as previously reported by The Inquisitr, she had no one around to help watch out for her.
Alternatively, Gigi Hadid could be trying to spend time with Zayn Malik because she is fretting about the price of fame. According to insiders close to Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, she might be worried about the women that throw themselves at Zayn for being a talented beauty — and this will increase when/if he goes on tour.
For now, Zayn Malik has not announced a tour to compliment his Mind of Mine album release on March 25, but there are rumors that he might appear at the Wango Tango Festival in early May in Los Angeles.

Crazysue - It is a HIM here in Michigan. There is an IM/HIM - last year was first year for it, and it got pretty good reviews.....Are you considering another HIM??? I love clearing out/cleaning up the house as well. I have cleaned some closets and drawers over the past few days
LCruns - Congrats on 2nd place in AG from Saturday!!! There were more runners there than I thought.
Vicki - Good luck on WW and the 15#'s!!! I saw they changed the program again, I would be curious to see what is different. My Newtons are Distance U.
Gatsbybird - 50k WTG!!!
Went to PF with DH, did some cardio on bike/weights/then ran a couple of miles on DM with my new Newtons....got to say I loved 'em. The felt very light and flexible.....
Happy New Year everyone!
Julie, nice work on the Frostbite 5, hope your tailbone heals quickly. Um, yes, anime conventions have been a part of our lives for some time, ever since DD got interested in anime in 6th grade. You should have seen her 13th birthday party, when we took the whole mob down to a fairly small convention.
Me, to ticket person: Hi, we have a fairly large group here.
TP: Oh?
Me: Yes. One fifteen-year-old, six fourteen-year-olds, four thirteen-year-olds, one ten-year-old --
TP: [look of horror]
Me: And two parents-in-tow who will be staying.
TP: [look of profound relief]
I got quite good at finding a place to sit in the lobby of whichever hotel or convention center it was with a book or some sewing and being the anchor person, providing a meeting place, bag check, occasional costume repair, and words of wisdom such as "don't spend your money as soon as you get into the vendor area, look at everything and then decide what you want to buy".
Carol, I've heard good things about MFP, I do WW but I get that for free since I'm lifetime. Newtons? Envious. I like the looks of them and how they feel but I don't like their price tag!
Camille, not sure what key does that and I certainly don't want to experiment. But if you find out, let me know please! (I have done that too.)
It will be resolutioners day tomorrow at the gym, I'm sure. Today there were more people than usual out walking, many with dogs (who are probably thrilled that their owners are taking them out).
What happened that caused you to be worried about your safety? Trust your instincts.
Miles for 2012: 3542. Hoping to beat that for 2013. I did 14.1 this morning so off to a good start.
Marjorie, when you do an epsom soak, do you use hot or cold water or just warm? I bought epsom salts but am not sure how best to use them.
Laura, hope you had a good run. I think we will all be back on TM tomorrow.
Susan, glad you had a good run also, enjoy the class. Envious on your having the tree down. Ours is still up.
I am not a big fan of mystery quilts, I like to know how it's going to look before I put it together.
Carolyn, I beat even you...in bed at 9 PM. DS and DH stayed up, and DD was out with a friend, but I was too tired to stay up. (Yes there was wine involved.)
Vicki, good for you on WW, they are probably the best of the plans out there. And something you can do for the rest of your life rather than buy their food forever.
Gatsbybird, any possibility of Shadow of the Giants rather than Big Basin? Straight shot across to 99 and then up 41 from Fresno to Fish Camp, it's not that far...June 1st. Gorgeous race. You could do it, it's not technically challenging and the time limits aren't strictly enforced. Baz is happy to have runners and is laid back and flexible.
Lisa, thanks for sharing what Susan has done so far for Karnel's event. Not sure what I'm going to do but will definitely do something.
Fig Newtons? Not my favourite cookie, but if that's good fuel for you...
(end of page 1)
So one good run so far this month, I don't want to get on the scale until next Sunday since I weighed in last Sunday. 123.8. I need to take off some, that's at the top of my weight range and I'm only 5 feet.
However, we have leftovers from NYE in the fridge...including sparkling wine...and that has to be drunk before it goes flat.
I did take DS out for a VERY short bike ride today, first time he's been on a bike in years. He got a new helmet for Christmas. Saturday we will go to the bike trail so he can get some practice without cars going by.
Happy 2013!
Tessa, Miles for 2012: 3542 Unbelievable!! Wow. Where is that dancing elephant when we need her!?!
I have to confess, I ate a handful of sugared pecans last night knowing we'd weigh in today. : ) I froze the rest. : )
Lisa, thanks for posting Karnel's info. There's a race near my mom's I may do for it.
Knit Queen
Happy New Year Ladies,
So I weighed myself in and I am 120. So I want to lose 10 lbs. That will put me at my best cycling and running weight. However, I did not start the first day out right. I had two HobNobs for breakfast (along with yogurt) and then had 4 Dove chocolates after lunch. Whadda way to start, right? I promise I'll do better tomorrow.
Didn't feel all that great this morning, despite only drinking one glass of wine last night. So, I didn't run or bike. I have to overcome my discomfort in the cold. It was 33-39 up until 10am today. It was sunny today but still nippy outside.
I took down the tree and other decorations. My husband took down the lights outside on the house. All we need to do is get them up in the attic and Christmas will be closed for this season.
The next celebration will be my birthday, Jan. 23. We are planning a visit to Austin, Texas soon. Nothing special. Just wanted to check the city out and use frequent flier miles.
cheers, Lisa
no motivation to workout today... well, motivated to lose weight but not enough apparently.
Getting a bit caught up for work, flying to NYC tomorrow for a couple of days. Rutgers job fair on Thursday. Seems like a wierd time for it but that's when it is.
Will get up and run in the morning.
Quick post as I'm one-finger typing. I did it! I broke 22 minutes in my 5k today. Official time was 21:52, good enough for first in the 40-49 AG. It warace good size race, I think I was 7 or 8th overall woman. This was the race I ran last year in over 30 minutes that got me to lose weight and train better. Last yearII had to walk up the big hill in mile 2. This year I ran it and I passed afew people while I was at it. Splitswere 6:38, 7:06, 6;42 and a 6:41 pace for the last little bit (0.21 miles for me).
Also, I had tried to sign up for the Megatransect before I left for the race (registration opened at noon and they expected a sell out in less than an hour). Couldn't even get the reg site to load. So I decided it wasn't meant to beand went to the race. Got home around five and clicked on the site, registrations still available because of all the problems with people not being able to get through. Took a few tries, but I got in!
Hi to all. Have a very tired dog wearing his cone of shame on my lap. Pretty tired myself.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 2016: BCS Marathon. 2017: Houston Marathon, The Woodlands Marathon, Oklahoma City Marathon and Missoula Marathon (50th one on my 50th birthday). After that, who knows?
Woohoo Karen! Nice AG win and great time! And clearly Megatransect was meant to be.
Safe travels to NYC, Lisa/MMR
Lisa/KQ, tomorrow's another day... you can get on the diet wagon then. Maybe you need warmer clothes to be more comfortable running in the cold?
Tessa, 3542 miles last year?!? Wowza. I'm thinking Shadow for next year which will give me time to get stronger. More miles, maybe core/strength training. The altitude at Bizz Johnson was really tough and I know Shadow is at altitude too, but I think being stronger would help a lot.
Boo for going back to work tomorrow.

For Those Of You Who Want To Access The Hidden Menu
For those of you who want to access the hidden menu please read. This option will allow you to check your current operating voltage level, engine temp an many more options which cannot be seen through the I drive follow these steps. 1st hold the reset button, the next light that would pop up would be "ABS". Ignore that and keep holding the reset button. There will be a second screen popping up, ignore that one as well and keep holding the reset button. As soon as the third screen pops up, release the reset button. This screen would have approx 15 or 16 options. Go the option which says "unlocking". Press and hold reset button. The unlocking menu will now appear on the right side. Input your unlocking code (for me it was 11 - add last 5 digits of your VIN number). As soon as you put the code, hold the reset button. The screen on right side would disappear now and you would be back to 15-16 option screen. Now go and select the desired option an press and hold the reset button while on the selected option. You would now see the info on the right side of the screen. I give all credit to "itsgonabeme".
On the 745 unlocking is item number 19.
Mine was 3...
Just like rookie 2008 said...add the last 5 digits together! Thanks rookie!
Can anyone provide an explanation for each option available to select? Yes, ones like the charging mv reading are easily understood...but there are several that are not.
What is the "SW-reset ?" ?
For Those Of You Who Want To Access The Hidden Menu
Software reset.

I wanted to unlock so I could display my battery voltage in the Combi, but I was not able to find the code (i.e. 11, or 19). Also, the instructions above mention adding the last 5 digits of the VIN, how exactly is that done? I can use the button to advance 1, 2, 3, ...45 but cannot go past that limit. So is it something like 11 + 12345 = 26 or is it 1112345? Specifics are better! I read another post that mentioned turning the button on the Combi instead of pressing it, have not tried that yet...
If the last 5 digits of your vin were 12345, your unlocking code would be 1+2+3+4+5 which equals 15. Therefore, your unlocking code is 15. Keep pressing the button until you get to unlocking and then hold the button until it changes. Once there, tap the button until it counts up to 15 and then hold it when you are there. It will now be unlocked.

I just got Dysport November 30th,2010 and I am so sick. I went back to my Dr. a week later and they actually injected me with more thinking that would relieve my headaches. I am terrified by reading everyone else's comments about how sick they got. I have horrible vertigo, blurred vision, spells where I feel faint and feel like I'm going to black out. Drooping eyelids, swollen cheeks, severe headaches every second of every day.
Can some please tell me how many units everyone has been recieving? How long are these symptoms lasting? I am getting anxiety just reading everyone's stories. Can someone please give me some advice. I am a single mom and am terrified that my 3 year old will be left without a mom.

Micron Technology, one of the world's largest DRAM (dynamic RAM) chip makers, is in talks with Taiwan's Nanya Technology to research new chip technology and jointly invest in a state-of-the-art chip factory.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding Monday to jointly develop and design DRAM with transistors smaller than 50 nanometers.
The term nanometer refers to the smallest parts on a chip. The smaller the components, the more powerful and energy-efficient the chip. There are about three to six atoms in a nanometer and there are a billion nanometers in a meter.
The deal could spell trouble for Germany's Qimonda, Nanya's current technology partner. Nanya plans to let its current technology agreement with Qimonda expire once reaching 50-nanometers. For more advanced, sub-50-nanometer technology, Nanya will work with Micron, said Moor Chen, a senior vice president at Nanya, in a phone interview.
Nanya is not currently in discussions with Qimonda to extend its technology deal with the German company, Chen said, adding that Micron and Nanya will sign a formal contract in the second quarter.
The loss of Nanya Technology as a technology partner deals a blow to Qimonda because the two companies had shared R&D costs and jointly own an advanced chip company in Taiwan, called Inotera Memories.
Some analysts had speculated that Qimonda's DRAM production technology might be a problem because of difficulty manufacturing chips with ever smaller transistors on board. In DRAM, advances in manufacturing technology are all-important because they reduce costs for companies and give them an edge over rivals.
Qimonda's chip production technology is known as "trench" and it's far less widely used than the "stack" technology used by Micron, Samsung, Hynix and most of Qimonda's other major rivals. Pundits have said that as chip production process technologies continue to shrink the size of features on a chip, "trench" technology simply doesn't work as well as "stack."
But last week, Qimonda announced a breakthrough in chip technology to 30 nanometers, although it would involve converting its production lines to new "Buried Wordline" technology from its "trench" technology. The chip maker expects to spend €100 million ($151.8 million) total in 2009-2010 to on converting the production lines.
Nanya Technology will also have to convert its production lines from "trench" to "stack" technology should it sign an agreement with Micron, but the company declined to speculate on how much that might cost.
Several other chip makers currently use Qimonda's manufacturing technology, including Winbond Electronics and Inotera Memories of Taiwan, and SMIC in China.

The hostilities between Israel and Hamas have come to a tenuous halt, but the real victor may have been in Cairo, with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi emerging as the key player in a high-wire feat of international diplomacy.
Just months into his role as Egypt's first democratically elected leader, Mr Morsi became the main interlocutor between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist militant group that runs the Gaza Strip, as Israel pummelled the enclave with airstrikes and Gaza-based militants fired rockets at southern Israeli towns. The agreement that resulted (some of its details will be hammered out in coming days) was the work of the Egyptians, all sides agreed.
The bargain that was struck between Israel and Hamas marks a powerful comeback for Egypt on the international stage. The country has long prided itself on being the central arbiter of diplomatic and cultural power in the Middle East but had become increasingly irrelevant under Hosni Mubarak, whose 30-year reign ended last year.
The rapid changes in Egypt have left the United States and Israel with a less pliant but potentially stronger partner, analysts say, as Mr Morsi can claim to speak for the Egyptian people in a way Mr Mubarak never could. And Egypt's pledge to underwrite the ceasefire may lay the foundations for Cairo to be a trusted go-between in any future peace negotiations.
Mr Morsi managed to keep Israel's trust while still reflecting Egyptian public opinion, which long chafed at Mr Mubarak's deferential approach to their neighbour across the Sinai desert. This time around, Egypt came down firmly on the side of the Palestinians, while keeping its peace with Israel and shuttling between the warring sides.
The end result – an agreement between Israel and Hamas, who have long refused to acknowledge each other, brokered by a neighbouring Islamist government – would have been unthinkable before the Arab Spring reshaped the region less than two years ago, toppling dictators who had long held political Islam at bay and strengthening the hand of once-isolated groups such as Hamas.
"Egypt's new government is assuming the responsibility and leadership that has long made this country a cornerstone of regional stability and peace," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday, announcing the ceasefire alongside Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in Jerusalem: "I would like . . . to express my appreciation for the efforts of Egypt to obtain a ceasefire."
Egypt "did not forget its status as an Arab nation", Khaled Meshal, the leader of Hamas, said in Cairo. Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, in which Mr Morsi rose to prominence.
Egypt's evolution may be especially important as Turkey, another country that has sought an expanded diplomatic role in the region, has taken a more aggressive tack against Israel. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Israel was engaged in "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, leaving his country less able to serve as an interlocutor.

Low lake levels and high gas prices didn't deter boaters from bringing their vessels — in all shapes and sizes — to Lake Lanier Islands' Beach & Water Park this weekend.
Some 230 boats pulled up to the sandy shoreline for the annual AquaPalooza to comb the beaches, take advantage of Lake Lanier Islands' special room rates and otherwise socialize.
The event, sponsored by MarineMax and the resort, also featured a "dive-in movie" for boaters and their crews, a gathering of about 1,100 people.
AquaPalooza started in 2006 as an event for owners of Sea Ray boats, but since has evolved to include all boating enthusiasts.
Worldwide, the marine festival attracted more than 10,000 boats and 30,000 guests to 120 sites last year.
Kevin Cooper, used boat manager at the MarineMax store in Cumming and organizer of the event, said that locally, the event drew about 10 boats in 2006 and 70 boats last year.
"This is a lifestyle for people. This is what they do Friday through Sunday almost every weekend during the summer," Cooper said.
A slow economy hasn't caused the boating industry to sink.
"People are still buying boats," he said. "They are just using them a little differently. They're not flying all over the lake. ... They're just going a lot slower."
Tony Eyl, a commercial real estate owner from Woodstock, his wife, Tarne, and their two children, 5-year-old Caleb and 4-year-old Sarah Grace, arrived at AquaPalooza in their 40-foot Silverton, "Sunshine Daydream."
Eyl said he has bought less fuel for his boat this year by changing boating habits.
"Last year, if the kids got antsy, we would go cruising around and go fast and everything," he said. "This year, we spend just as much time on the boat, but we don't just drive around aimlessly.
"We basically go from our marina to wherever we're going to anchor and stay there for the weekend."
Cumming resident Sean Heim, a boater for three years, spent Sunday on his 36-foot boat, "Heim away from Heim." Heim is German for home.
He said he enjoyed the weekend event.
"It's fantastic; the best thing MarineMax has ever put together," Heim said.
"It's been an absolute blowout for us, for our family. We had the kids out all weekend."
Heim never had visited the water park before and "we've been up here on Lake Lanier for 15 years."
"It's been nice," he said. "We'll be back."
Previous AquaPaloozas were held at Six Mile Park and the popular boating hangout known as Cocktail Cove, both of which are on Lake Lanier.

Otis Nixon just can't catch a break these days. First he was accused in February of running a halfway house scam, then he was arrested on drug charges in May. Now, Nixon has lost a house he owns to a fire caused by arson, ajc.com reports.
The Acworth, Ga., home caught fire at approximately 2:40 a.m. on Sunday, and his 34-year-old neighbor Lamine Diaw was arrested and charged with arson.
JanMike Mosley, a relative of Nixon's, said he came home to find the front door aflame. His efforts to douse the flames with a garden hose were rejected by the laws of physics and chemistry.
Ajc.com also reports that Nixon's sons had previously lived at the house but that it was unclear if they still lived there.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Baseball, MLB, Otis Nixon

1. *Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami, 6-2, 208
Draft Projection: 1st Round
The best safety in a weak class, Phillips is the only first-round talent among the group. He had a good season this past year, but he was more productive as a sophomore. Phillips finished his junior campaign with 82 tackles, six for a loss and two interceptions. He has good size and athleticism, but has to stay disciplined in coverage. Phillips should run well in Indy, but scouts will want to see how fluid he is in coverage.
2. Simeon Castille, FS, Alabama, 6-0, 190
Draft Projection: 2nd – 3rd Round
Castille is a valuable defender who adds versatility to a secondary. He primarily played corner at Alabama and was a good cover corner, but his lack of speed will hurt him at the next level. He didn't have a great week at the Senior Bowl and failed to show fluid transitioning in coverage. He's a perfect nickel corner who can play physically inside, but he projects as a free safety in the NFL. Castille will have to run well and display smoother backpedaling in drills to improve his draft stock.
Michigan SS Jamar Adams prepares for action against Florida in the Citrus Bowl.
AP Photo/Reinhold Matay
3. Jamar Adams, SS, Michigan, 6-2, 209
Draft Projection: 2nd – 3rd Round
Adams is a hard hitter who's always looking to make the big play. He's aggressive and is always around the ball. He had a good senior season for the Wolverines and collected 92 tackles, 2.5 for a loss, a sack and three interceptions. Adams has good, not elite, speed. But he takes good angles in pursuit and is a strong tackler. He showed good instincts at the Senior Bowl and made a few big hits that received favorable praise. He'll have to impress the scouts the same way in Indy as he did in Mobile.
4. Marcus Griffin, FS, Texas, 5-11, 198
Draft Projection: 3rd Round
The twin brother of 2007 first-round draft pick Michael Griffin, Marcus is an experienced defender who brings playmaking ability to the next level. Griffin has been very productive during his career at Texas and enjoyed a senior season where he had five interceptions. He participated in the Senior Bowl and showed good quickness and instincts and played well all week long. He's consistent, and scouts will enjoy his personality in Indianapolis.
5. Josh Barrett, SS, Arizona State, 6-2, 225
Draft Projection: 3rd Round
A vastly overlooked player in this year's draft, mainly because of his injury history, Barrett wasn't nearly as productive as a senior as he was as a junior. Barrett suffered through numerous injuries this past season and was never fully healthy. He has a lot of talent and a huge upside, but he has to stay healthy to truly realize his full potential. Teams will evaluate Barrett very carefully and determine if the reward is worth the risk.
6. Jamie Silva, SS, Boston College, 5-11, 205
Draft Projection: 3rd – 4th Round
Silva is the most underrated defensive back in the draft. He's a consistent performer who doesn't possess elite athleticism, but he's a hard worker and a ballhawk in the secondary. Over the last two seasons at BC, Silva has collected 12 interceptions (eight this season). He also contributed to a team-high 125 tackles this past season. He showed great instincts and awareness at the East-West Shrine game and impressed scouts with his work ethic. If Silva runs well in the forty, look for him to be a high third-round pick.
7. *DaJuan Morgan, FS, NC State, 6-1, 205
Draft Projection: 3rd – 4th Round
It was a surprise to see Morgan's name among the early entries in the draft, but after 97 tackles and three interceptions in his junior campaign, he felt that it was best to move on to the pros. He has good speed and instincts, but has to position himself better to make plays. His ability in drills will be the most crucial, and if he runs a mid-4.4 forty-time, that will definitely help his stock.
8. Craig Steltz, SS, LSU, 6-1, 210
Draft Projection: 3rd – 4th Round
When LaRon Landry departed for the NFL, that clearance gave Steltz his opportunity to shine. Steltz didn't disappoint, and in his first season as a starter he proved that he can be a quality player at the next level. He finished his senior season tied for the team lead in tackles with 101, and also contributed a sack and six interceptions. He was invited to the Senior Bowl, but was unable to participate due to a shoulder injury. Steltz is expected to work out at the Combine and show scouts what he can do on the field.
9. Jonathan Hefney, FS, Tennessee, 5-9, 185
Draft Projection: 4th Round
If Hefney were a few inches taller and a little bit bigger, he'd be a first or second round pick. But he's a smaller safety — and by no means is he Bob Sanders — who's a tweener at the NFL level. He has very good quickness and is deceptively strong, but struggles against bigger receivers who tower over him. He possesses really good technique and is fluid in coverage, but it's his size that will concern scouts at the Combine.
10. Tom Zbikowski, SS, Notre Dame, 5-11, 209
Draft Projection: 4th Round
Zbikowski received a lot of attention in Mobile, not for his good play, but for his thoughts on his boxing career. Zbikowski put the boxing talk to rest and is concentrating on football and looking forward to the next step. He had an outstanding career at Notre Dame and displayed great ability as a playmaker in the secondary and on special teams. He's an experienced punt returner who has dynamic skills. But he will have to run well in Indy to improve his fourth-round draft grade.

All DHBs have now have quality of care accounts
Hon Jo Goodhew
Associate Minister of Health
26 March 2014
All DHBs have now have quality of care accounts
Associate Health Minister Jo Goodhew has welcomed the publication of DHB Quality Accounts, saying they are another tool to ensure New Zealanders get the best and safest health care possible.
"Quality Accounts show that quality of care is core business for DHBs, by placing the reporting of quality on an equal footing with financial reporting. This is a more mature and transparent approach to healthcare," says Mrs Goodhew.
"The reports assess the quality of health care services offered by each DHB and prioritise areas for improvement – for example, they might look at areas such as managing influenza, preventing patients in hospitals from being harmed, and responding to the needs of Māori and Pacific populations.
"Quality accounts enable DHBs to transparently share their successes and to jointly learn from things that could have been done differently or better. An important part of quality accounts is hearing about the experience consumers have had with health care services.
"The Quality Accounts highlight a range of really innovative approaches to quality improvement across the country."
Examples include the introduction of yellow 'transfer of care' envelopes at Waitemata DHB which has improved the quality of information passed between facilities when a patient is transferred from a residential aged care facility to a hospital and back again.
The yellow envelopes provide essential information about each patient, allowing staff access to all the information they need in one easily identifiable place.
The first full set of Quality Accounts for 2012-2013 have now been published on the Health Quality & Safety Commission's website. DHBs will begin working on the 2013-2014 reports after the end of the financial year.

From a list of 'worst ideas;
"In the modern world, we do not need utopias:Subsequently, Norm has been able to pick up, critically, on some interesting responses to it.
Dreaming, the aspiration to a better world and the imagination thereof, is a necessary part of the human condition."
There are a few double-negatives in there, so think about it before you go on.
I always find discussion of utopianism - for and against - a little hard to take seriously though, because there seems to me to be a contradiction within the idea of 'utopia' that makes it largely redundant.
The oft-quoted observation from Milan Kundera about utopias always coming bundled with a gulag is not my only objection either. Utopias, you see, are an end-point. A point at which things cannot get any better.
And my idea of hell is living somewhere in which there is no prospect of things getting better. One of the most troubling things about a lot of the negativism in public debate is that one worries how the poor fuckers that engage in it are able to even get out of bed in the morning.
For example, I think that it has been amply demonstrated that an absence of scarcity in any good thing is not enough to satisfy many people. Wealth, after all, is positional thing as much as it is a thing that can be counted in stacks of banknotes. I suspect that other benchmarks that we can use to measure quality of life are similar. And it's not for nothing that John Donne used to pun around orgasms and death. Orgasms or foreplay? It's 'the getting there' that's all the fun.
This doesn't mean that I don't largely agree with Fred Halliday's view that there is something worrying about an absence of aspiration.
Indeed, if you wanted to come up with a new word - call it anything you like - how about 'blibbettyblob'? - A Utopia - but one in which there is no gulag and a reasonable a prospect for improvement. I'd subscribe to it. Here's what it could look like:
- A liberal democracy in which a large and growing number of people are able to participate in decision-making - and one in which there was an agreement that this decision-making should strive for optimal policy outcomes (not purely a representation of the public will or some crude version that privileges 'fairness' 'sustainability' or 'efficiency', but instead an agreed synthesis of the these metrics).
- A successfully evangelistic liberal democracy that is promoting democratic renewal and improvement in existing democracies and one that is recruiting new nations to the club every year
- An international community that benefits from a legitimate version of international law - one that is more firmly binding and is only framed - in a weighted way - by liberal democracies that have demonstrated their credentials.
And when would this happen, ideally? This blibbettyblob would be arrived at during a football season not unlike the 1977-8. It would happen in the pre-Xmas run when we were pretty sure we were the best side that the world had (or would) ever see – but we were looking forward to the satisfaction of seeing it being proved.
Is this all too much to ask for? On the first two points, above, I'm not even sure that this is asking for something that we haven't already got. Obviously, the 1977-8 bit is the really improbable utopia here.
Perhaps there is a better name for it than blibbettyblob as well. How does 'democratic socialism' sound?
Naff-blogging update: I admit that I re-read about an hour after posting it and noticed a major omission. I've corrected it.

Health Care Round-Up
- Check out Sick for Profit, which takes a look at how insurance company CEOs are profiting from practices like rescission.
- The HCAN blog takes an in-depth look at one of those CEOs featured on Sick for Profit.
- I think Matt Yglesias is right on why it's harder for people who want health care reform to have the passionate intensity of the screaming anti-reform mobs showing up at town halls around the country.
Those most full of passionate intensity on the other side are basically prepared to oppose reform sight unseen. But without knowing much about what the content of "reform" is or who it is who's backing "reform" it's hard to know what to say about it. At the moment, progressives are simultaneously trying to impact the shape of "reform" (reasonable public option, reasonably generous subsidies and minimum benefits packages) while also trying to push for "reform" to win out against the opponents of "reform."
- Yet another debunking of health care reform myths, this one from Salon.

Free net offer leads to jobs boost
Up to 500 jobs are to be created in south Wales following NTL's decision to offer UK subscribers totally free and unlimited internet access.
Communications group NTL announced on Tuesday that it will provide internet access with no start-up or telephone costs whatsoever from April.
It is promising to beat US internet giant Altavista's offer on Monday to supply unlimited internet access free of telephone charges for Ł10 a year.
The firm has confirmed that the move will lead to 500 new jobs at its call centres in south Wales. It currently has operations in Cardiff and Newport.
The announcement coincides with a pledge by Prime Minister Tony Blair that every British citizen should have unhampered access to the web within five years.
The NTL move puts pressure on other operators such as BT, AOL and Freeserve to abandon per-minute call charges, which have been blamed for holding back internet use.
'Internet for the masses'
Barclay Knapp, NTL's chief executive, said the company plans to offer unmetered subscription-free internet access from 17 April.
It will apply to anyone with a personal computer and a modem, even if they live outside the reach of the company's cable networks.
Users will have to sign up with NTL for their voice telephone calls and spend at least Ł10 a month on calls.
Mr Blair, in a speech in London to business and union leaders on Tuesday, is set to describe the NTL service as a "significant new offer" which will help bring the medium to the masses.
The Altavista plan
The NTL announcement comes one day after Altavista unveiled its plan to offer unmetered access to the internet.
Typically in the UK, ISPs make money by taking a proportion of the call costs.
Users do not have to pay any monthly subscription, but do have to pay local call rates - meaning the bill grows as every extra minute is spent online.
One report suggests it costs Ł237 to surf the net for five hours a day, 20 days a month in Britain - compared to just Ł26 in America.
Altavista aims to pay for its scheme through advertising and e-commerce.

(12/17/2007) NEW HAVEN- The Drum Major Institute recently released its report on the �Ten Best Public Policies of 2007� as part of their annual �Year in Review.� Listed as number three in the Institute�s report, the program is referenced as �a reasonable voice� that �achieves unexpected potency.�
The Drum Major Institute is a non-partisan, non-profit think tank generating the ideas that fuel the progressive movement. The Year in Review, issued December 13, outlines what the Institute considers to be the ten best and ten worst public policies throughout the nation. Accompanying the Elm City Resident Card program on the ten best list is San Francisco�s mandate requiring at least five days of paid sick time for employees working within the city limits to care for themselves or for family members. New York City�s work on sustainable development and Washington D.C.�s Voting Rights Act also made the top ten list.
�This is a great distinction for New Haven and for the Elm City Resident Card program,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �This program represents our commitment to achieving unity and a strong sense of community in New Haven. By implementing this program everyone residing in our City can have an identity and a voice. We�ve achieved a great response to this program having already issued more than 4,800 cards in less than 5 months.�
The Elm City Resident Card provides residents with access to basic City services as well as privileges at the New Haven Public Library amongst a number of other benefits. The card, the first of its scope in the nation, is available to all New Haven residents and can be obtained at the Office of New Haven Residents located on the first floor of City Hall. The card also contains a Parcxmart feature which functions like a debit card and can be used to make purchases at more than 50 participating merchants throughout the City and to pay for time at municipal parking meters.

1. Re: Data Plan vs. Unlimited Text and Emailspottedcatfish Dec 24, 2010 11:21 PM (in response to Rod6787)
Text messaging does not use data. Sending a text message (through your phone's text messaging app) to an e-mail address does not use data.
Checking your e-mail through your phone's web browser or an e-mail app DOES use data. Android phones, by default, are constantly connected to the network, looking for updates for your applications, and also downloading information for those apps (news stories, weather reports, etc.)
If you want to stay under your 150MB limit, you'll need to find instructions on how to disable 3G data on your phone and only enable it when you need it. Otherwise, confine your data usage to WiFi networks (which doesn't count against your data package). Androids don't compress data like Blackberries, and they can very easily go over the limit of the $15 plan if you aren't diligent in monitoring your usage and keeping 3G data turned off.
If you don't want to monitor your usage, you can upgrade to the $29.99/Unlimited data package.

1949-1954 Chevrolet Tech:
V8 Installation 1949-1954 Chevy Car. Steps required to install small block in a 49-54 chevrolet. The conversion is simple with the proper tools and some aftermarket motor mounts.
In order to make everything easier I removed the entire front sheetmetal. You can keep the grill, radiator support, and fenders bolted together and remove the front assembly as a whole. After removing the front fender and motor, I removed the emegency brake mounts with a 4 1/2" cut off wheel. On my 50 there was a few brackets on the frame that needed to be removed in order to install the walton's motor mounts. An air hammer will quickly remove the brackets or if you don't have access to air tool you can drill out the spot welds that attach the brackets to the frame.
Accessories that fit:
Headers/Exhuast Manifolds
For the stock steering sanderson headers will work with most small block chevy motors.
Cast iron manifold will also work. A rear dump type on the drivers side and a center dump type on the passenger side. See manifold in engine photo >>
With aftermarket IFS systems most block hugger headers will fit as well as a rear dump type on the drivers side and a center dump type on the passenger side.
I used Sanderson headers with the crate engine I am installing in 1950 chevy. Chassis Engineering also make a specific header for 49-54 chevrolet cars.
Emergency Brake
Since you have to remove the stock emergency brake mount to install a v8, here are some options to re-install an emerrgency brake in your 1949 to 1954 chevrolet.
S-10 Truck (junkyard)
Control Cables (makes non-billet foot e-brake)
55-57 chevy car ebrake handle (May not be easy to find, mounts on left side of dash)
Gennie Shifter E-brake (Gennie sells a complete setup including cables)
Water Pump
A short water pump will fit. Long water pump did not fit in my 1950 chevy with a ZZ3 GM Performance crate motor and walton's fabriation motor mounts.
Motor Mounts

Shanghai China's factory gate prices tumbled for a 23rd straight month in January, prompting calls for the government to lower its economic growth target for this year to a more realistic 7 per cent in order to bolster the case for speedier structural reforms.
Producer prices declined 1.6 per cent last month from a year earlier, following a 1.4 per cent drop in December, according to National Bureau of Statistics figures released on Friday.
Consumer prices increased a subdued 2.5 per cent in January year-on-year, matching the previous month's gain, which was the weakest in seven months, the data showed.
Last month's rise in consumer prices was modestly above market expectations, but should be benign enough to prevent the Chinese central bank from tightening monetary policy.
The usual rally in prices that occurs around Chinese New Year failed to eventuate this year, as higher fresh food prices were offset by a decline in prices for pork and alcohol.
"Inflation is unlikely to be much concern to policymakers at least until the second half of 2014," said Mark Williams, the chief Asian economist at Capital Economics. "Despite the subdued inflation outlook, policymakers are keeping monetary conditions tight."
Status quo suits miners
Mr Williams said higher money market interest rates should help to limit price pressure in the Chinese economy, but the subdued inflation reading has led others to worry about the growth outlook.
The chief China economist at ANZ, Liu Li-Gang, said China will not be able to deliver 7.5 per cent growth this year without rolling out significant fiscal stimulus before June.
"We think that it would be wise to lower the growth target to 7 per cent," Mr Liu said, adding that rolling out additional government stimulus would "delay necessary structural reforms".
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will unveil this year's growth target at the National People's Congress, which begins on March 5 in Beijing.
Most economists expect the growth target will remain at 7.5 per cent.
This would be good news for Australian miners, as any additional government stimulus is likely to keep the iron ore price at current levels of around $US130 a tonne.
But it is likely to delay much-needed industry restructuring in the steel, glass and cement sectors.
There is speculation that China will lower its export target this year to 7.5 per cent, from an annualised rate of 7.9 pe r cent in 2013.
Leaders wary of inflation
Since becoming premier in March last year, Mr Li has sought to rein in credit growth and reduce debt levels across the economy. Money market interest rates and bond yields have risen, but there is unlikely to be any change in official interest rates.
China has worked hard to bring inflation under control in recent years after it peaked above 6 per cent in 2007.
The subdued rate in January came despite big annual spikes in the price of dairy products (11.9 per cent), fruit (23 per cent), beef (11.8 per cent) and tourism (14.9 per cent).
These were offset by pork prices falling 4.3 per cent over the year and alcohol prices coming down by 2 per cent.
A decline in alcohol prices has been driven by President Xi Jinping's crackdown on lavish official banquets and government spending. It has seen a drop in the price of local spirits like Maotai but has also affected foreign wine makers, which have seen sales fall.
The decline in the Producer Price Index, a gauge of wholesale inflation that dropped 0.1 per cent in January from the previous month, was a further sign that China's giant manufacturing sector is suffering from overcapacity and remains weak.

Avi Issacharoff / New Palestinian protests indicate West Bank unrest is due to erupt (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Avi Issacharoff 02/26/12)

HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
The Palestinian street, which has been indifferent over the past four and a half years to events around it, including the Fatah-Hamas split, is showing much more motivation to face off against the IDF.
Stormy protests over the past few weeks throughout the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, which reached a climax yesterday, may not be a negligible and coincidental series of incidents. It seems that after years of lying dormant, things are starting to heat up again in the West Bank.
Talat Ramieh was killed Friday in a clash with Israel Defense Force soldiers, which broke out following earlier struggles between hundreds of Muslim worshippers and police on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem´s Old City. Those clashes started after Muslim worshippers hurled stones at Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall following Friday prayers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The violence spread to villages around the capital, which are becoming a familiar backdrop to clashes between Palestinians and security forces. Yesterday, too, protests continued after Ramieh´s funeral, from which hundreds set out for the Qalandiyah checkpoint, where nine people were injured in violent confrontations.
It is difficult not to link the events in the West Bank over the weekend with the hunger strike (which has ended for the time being ) by senior Islamic Jihad activist Khader Adnan. The strike by Adnan, an administrative detainee among hundreds who spent more than one term in Palestinian Authority jails, led to violent demonstrations for several days running, mainly in Ramallah.
Friday it was apparently a rumor that a group of Jewish extremists was calling to save the Temple Mount from Muslims that led to violent unrest among worshippers.
These individual events seem to create a bigger picture. The Palestinian street, which has been indifferent over the past four and a half years to events around it, including the Fatah-Hamas split, is showing much more motivation to face off against the IDF.
There are several reasons for this awakening. Signs that the rift is healing between Fatah and Hamas is bringing the "unity of the struggle against the occupier" into the headlines. The Arab Spring has also created the feeling that popular demonstrations can effect change on the ground. Above all, the diplomatic impasse and continued construction in the settlements is creating a sense of despair among Palestinians.
The dead end in talks between Israel and the Palestinians, along with quiet on the security front, has led many cabinet ministers and right- wing groups to wonder aloud about the possibility of maintaining the status quo. To their minds, continuing security cooperation with the PA, along with certain continued economic benefits and improvement in the quality of life in the West Bank, will help keep things quiet for many years to come.
But they do not take into account Palestinians´ extreme frustration in light of the lack of diplomatic progress. That frustration leads to unrest over every issue - such as a hunger strike by a Palestinian prisoner - and might lead to many more protests.
Ramieh was killed, according to the IDF, after he threw firecrackers at troops and after one of the soldiers, who felt his life was in danger, shot and killed him.
PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has long been warning that quiet would not continue on the security front. Yesterday he published an angry statement that the Quartet´s ignoring Israel´s actions is leading to Palestinian deaths. In a rare move, Fayyad criticized the Quartet´s policy of focusing on renewing diplomatic talks while ignoring what is happening on the ground.
Without reference to Fayyad´s warnings, the demonstrations of the past few weeks might not turn into a third intifada, but they probably will not die down in the near future. (© Copyright 2012 Ha´aretz 02/26/12)

A plane crash. An uncharted island. A tiny band of frightened survivors. Out of these familiar adventure-story components and a host of pop-culture conventions, Alias' J.J. Abrams has fashioned a totally original, fabulously enjoyable lost-at-sea series. Once again, he has taken an outlandish Saturday-serial setup and imbued it with real characters and honest emotions, without sacrificing any of the old-fashioned fun.
Shot in Hawaii but set in lands unknown, Lost follows the plight of 48 survivors of what well may be TV's most frightening plane crash. Now they have to survive life on an anything-goes, sci-fi island where it's bad if they're alone and worse if they're not.
Lost * * * * ABC, Wednesday, 8 ET/PT
Lost probably owes its place on the TV schedule to the popularity of a certain island-based game show. It owes its soul, however, to the same great stories that inspired Survivor— such as TheMysterious Island and Lord of the Flies.
Of course, if you're going to strand viewers on an island, you'd better make sure it's populated with enough good actors and characters to hold their attention. And once again, Abrams has come up with a great cast, led by Party of Five's Matthew Fox, Lord of the Rings 'Dominic Monaghan and camera-friendly newcomers Ian Somerhalder and Evangeline Lilly.
In a convincing shift from his self-centered Party boy, Fox anchors Lost as the show's doctor/hero Jack. After enlisting Kate (Lilly) to sew up his wounds, he immediately asserts himself as the calm leader of the panicked islanders.
Through flashbacks and well-written vignettes, we're capably introduced to the rest of the main speaking characters and left yearning to know more about each. (Don't panic: You won't have to remember all 48 castaways at once — only a dozen, tops.) You can see the writers laying the groundwork for weeks of interesting interactions among this diverse group: a critical brother (Somerhalder) and his peevish sister (Maggie Grace); a skittish rock star (Monaghan); a Middle Eastern man who fears the group's prejudice (Naveen Andrews); and most unusually of all for a TV ensemble, a Korean couple who speak no English (Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim).
Tonight, Jack and a handful of explorers search for the plane's cockpit — and discover a monster. The purpose is not just to frighten you, though the "monster," whatever it is, certainly does. It's also to let you know that Lost isn't going to be bound by the rules of reality, or by the petty bickering of reality TV. This is not your everyday island.
Prepare to get Lost.
