JNF: ´Smart solutions´ can be found despite petitions on land allocation (JERUSALEM POST) By DAN IZENBERG 01/28/05)

JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The state cannot defend a policy in which the Israel Lands Authority prevents Israeli Arabs from applying for building plots on land belonging to the Jewish National Fund, Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz said on Thursday.
But he said he believed it would be possible "to find ways in which to uphold the principle of equality without harming the aims of the JNF as set down in its mandate to settle Jews on the land it owns."
Mazuz´s statement followed a meeting on Wednesday of senior Justice Ministry officials, the JNF, the Israel Lands Authority (ILA) and representatives of other government ministries to consider how to respond to petitions submitted by four human rights groups against the exclusion of Arabs from JNF tenders.
JNF head Yehiel Leket told The Jerusalem Post he was satisfied with Mazuz´s decision because it was meant to guarantee that his organization would be able to continue its mission.
"The JNF will continue to safeguard the land," he said. "Mazuz put the emphasis on practical solutions. Throughout all the years, we found smart solutions and were able to uphold the principle of Jewish settlement without having to face the High Court of Justice."
Leket did not elaborate on what these "smart solutions" were, but acknowledged that in the past, when the ILA marketed JNF land, it would compensate the JNF with an equal amount of land from its own resources for any plot of JNF land that went to a non-Jew.
The JNF owns 2.6 million dunams, or 13 percent of the land. The ILA owns almost all of the rest. According to this solution, the reservoir of JNF land was never depleted by allocations to non-Jews.
Leket told the Post that the ILA recently decided to unilaterally halt the arrangement. When the JNF protested, the ILA published the notice that according to the agreement between the state and the JNF, it could not market 26 plots of land in Karmiel to non-Jews.
Leket said that unlike Mazuz, he was not convinced that the state would have lost the case in the High Court of Justice. But he indicated that he preferred a non-confrontational solution. In fact, he told the Post that the JNF had gained from the attorney-general´s decision. Mazuz established a committee to devise the arrangements which would satisfy the High Court without injuring the JNF. Until now, the agreement between the ILA and the JNF had been an informal one. Now it would have the formal backing of the attorney-general, he said.
Mazuz wrote that in the wake of the High Court´s landmark decision in 2000 declaring that the ILA may not discriminate against Israeli Arabs when it allocates land for housing, the state would not be able to win the petitions regarding the JNF-owned lands.
The first petition was submitted by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and the Arab Center for Alternative Planning following publication of a tender by the ILA in July 2004 for 26 plots of JNF-owned land in Karmiel´s Givat Makush neighborhood.
According to an agreement between the government and the JNF, the ILA, which is a government institution, is the only body authorized to market JNF land.
Three months earlier, the ILA had offered 43 JNF-owned plots in the Makush neighborhood, and awarded several of them to Arabs. The entry of Arabs into the neighborhood triggered an uproar and the ILA quickly froze the tender, explaining that it could not allocate JNF land to Arabs.
When it published the tender for the 26 plots of land in September, it added a statement to the effect that the land was subject to a covenant between the state and the JNF. It did not say so explicitly, but according to the covenant, Arabs could not apply.
ACRI and the Arab Center for Alternative Planning petitioned the Haifa District Court against the tender. Judge Shmuel Berliner issued an interim injunction ordering the ILA to either accept applications from Arabs or wait for a final court decision. The ILA decided to withdraw the tender.
But the petitioners then went to the High Court of Justice to challenge the principle of the policy regarding JNF-owned land. They were joined in separate petitions by Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel and the Mossawa Center.
On December 9, the JNF replied to the petitioners, declaring that its loyalties "were not given, and could not be given, to the Israeli public. It is not obliged to act for the good of all the citizens of the state. The JNF was established and acts for the good of the Jewish people only."
A few days later, a public relations company issued an alarming communique warning that the High Court decision on the petitions "would determine the fate of the Zionist enterprise in the land of Israel and the future of the state of Israel as the home of the Jewish people."
"The JNF is convinced that Israel is the state of the Jewish people," said Leket. "It is still a state in the making, both in terms of security and the need to safeguard its Jewish character. The Law of Return guarantees the Jewish majority and it is the JNF´s role to provide land for the Jewish people."
ACRI welcomed Mazuz´s decision but added that "it does not provide a full answer to concerns about anti-Arab discrimination." Attorney Auni Bana, who submitted the petition on behalf of ACRI, said that the compensation arrangement between the JNF and the ILA is "problematic" because it continues to distinguish between Jews and Arabs.

Superconductors may be considered as plasmonic media, exhibiting a resistance dominated by the kinetic motion of electrons and a negative dielectric constant. In metamaterials Joules losses are significant and substantially reduce achievable Q-factors. The use of superconductors in metamaterials permits the control and reduction of Joule losses, opening the opportunity for achieving low-loss, high Q-factor metamaterials.

USGS Groundwater Information: Branch of Geophysics
As part of OGW BG geophysical monitoring and site characterization research through the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program, a study was conducted on the Massachusetts Military Reservation, Cape Cod, Massachusetts on the use of vertical- radar profiling for porosity estimation in porous media.
The vertical-radar profile (VRP) method uses surface-to-borehole radar data to derive radar propagation velocities and develop a radar velocity profile as a function of depth. In this experiment, VRP is being used to calculate the velocity over intervals. These velocity calculations can then be used to develop porosity estimations and changes in porosity in the subsurface. Boise State University's Center for Geophysical Investigation of the Shallow Subsurface (CGISS) has developed an innovative method of collecting, picking, inverting, and interpreting VRP data, and these methods are being used in the data processing and interpretation.
During the summer of 2001, VRPs were collected in two boreholes using a 100MHz antenna at the Massachusetts Military Reservation. These data will be used to test the inversion algorithm developed at CGISS. In addition, the inverted VRP results will be compared to porosity estimations calculated through other methods as a means of determining the accuracy and consistency of both the method and the data.

This research was conducted through the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program by John W. Lane, Jr. (USGS OGW Branch of Geophysics) and Marc Buursink (CGISS, Boise State University) with assistance from OGW BG staff.

Ooh. A Final Fantasy fan club? Count me in. :D
What is your favorite FF game?
Final Fantasy V holds a special place in my heart, and will always be my favourite. VI would be close second though.
Who is your favorite character?
Gilgamesh. Even if he isn't playable, he's hilarious.
do you prefer the Classics of recent remakes?
The recent remakes have honestly made some of them more enjoyable. I myself would always prefer a remake to Final Fantasy 1 than the NES version.
Do you like the original medieval volumes to the newer modern volumes?
I'm fine with both actually. However, I do wish sometimes that elements in the world are consistent. (like having a space ship in IV was kinda wtf.)
What is your favorite spin off game?
Do you think the series is dyeing? (looking at you XIII)
I think the series is slowly recovering from the whole XIII debacle.
Do you plan to play FF realm reborn or already playing it?
I got into the third phase of the Beta, and I enjoyed it. But I don't see myself playing it.
Did you get into the Beta for FF Realm Reborn? (I DID :D)
Do you think Cloud killed Aerith by drowning her by accident because he presumed she was dead?
LOLOLOL. yes.
Do you want the 4 heroes of light tradition to come back? (imagine that in some of the newer games :D)
I would love for it to come back. But, it would seem that Squeenix hates the Four Heroes of Light archetype, and would rather save it for spinoffs and such.
What was the hardest boss to defeat?
Omega Weapon in V.
When did you find the series?
I found the series when I was a lot younger, like 5 or 6. And my brother had gotten his old SNES with Final Fantasy III (VI) back from our auntie, and I just watched him play it.

Women volley longer grand slams
Page Tools
The biggest names in women's tennis have launched a volley at grand slam organisers over plans to stretch their tournaments over 15 days instead of 14.
The extra day would be worth between $US5 million ($A6.55 million) and $US10 million ($A13.11 million) to each grand slam, an insider told Reuters, and players are angry the move is financially motivated rather than for their benefit.
"I don't understand why the grand slams are talking about adding another day when the Tour has been working hard to reduce injuries and lessen the stress on players by doing things like shortening the season," Wimbledon champion and world number two Maria Sharapova said.
"It's the players and the tournaments the week before the slams that would feel the impact of this idea."
World number one Lindsay Davenport agreed. "I'm not in favour of adding any more days," she said.
"The grand slams have plenty of time to schedule all of the matches and it just seems to me that it is a financially motivated decision by the grand slams more than anything else."
The Australian, French and US Opens are run over 14 days. Wimbledon is held over 13, with the first Sunday traditionally a rest day.
French Open organisers said last month they would do "everything possible" to ensure a Sunday start for their 2006 event, saying the extra weekend day would be a "fantastic launch pad" and would enable families to enjoy the opening day.
The other grand slams, except Wimbledon, are expected to follow suit.
The players, who say they have not been consulted about the move, are less enthusiastic.
France's Amelie Mauresmo said: "It's not fair that the grand slams are talking about this idea without coming to some agreement with the players and the tournaments because we are the ones who should be involved the most because it affects us."
Venus Williams hit out at the grand slam Committee's plans to expand the slams without full consultation.
"It's very disappointing that they are trying to conduct business in this manner. It's very underhanded and uncool," she said.
"In the past, we have had a pretty decent relationship with the grand slams. But from a business standpoint, it's very bad ethics to try to make a decision like this without an agreement with the players, the tournaments and the Tour."
Chief executive of the WTA Tour, Larry Scott said: "We've been discussing this since the grand slam committee announced their plans in Paris last month.
"I am hopeful they wouldn't take such a big step without input from the players and the tournaments," he said.
"I can see the value of an extra day to the grand slams but my responsibility is to our members, to the players and the tournaments."
Scott said many players and tournaments feared that one extra day would soon become two and that grand slams would then begin on a Saturday and take in three weekends.
He said that even with one extra day there was a danger some tournaments held on the eve of grand slams would no longer be viable.
"And from the players' perspective, they struggle with the idea that more is better," he said.
"We have been looking at the schedule ... we've shortened it, and now when we talk about lengthening grand slams the players are scratching their heads."
Scott said the WTA had meetings planned with the grand slam Committee at the end of Wimbledon.
"We want to make sure this can be done without cannibalising the tournaments the week before grand slams.
"I also think players will be more open minded if they know how the grand slams are going to share the money fairly."

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
I recently lost my baby, Tacitus - 5 yr old cocker spaniel, due to ITP this past Friday, 07/26/2013. He was bleeding into his organs. However, he did not show any of the signs that the internet describes as symptoms of a sick doggy. Even up to the point that we took him to the vet, he was totally alert and happy to be going with us. He seemed to act like as if we were going on a trip, he looked out the window. he wanted to get in front of the car. No sign he was sick except for the bleeding. He was NOT lethargic, nor was he bleeding from his eyes or nose or mouth, he would eat properly, he run and played around, he did EVERYTHING he normally did. Late Wednesday, he started to have blood stains in his pee, by Thursday morning, he was peeing blood and had blood in his poo. We took him to the vet the same day Thursday, where they told us he had ITP. Unaware that he had previously had treatment for ehrlicia, a tick born virus usually in dogs from texas (we live in CA but we brought him from texas). The vet started to give him blood transfusions and many other treatments (at the end costing a total of 9,500$). once we found out he had been treated for ehrlicia, we begged the vet to give him vitamin K, to stop the bleeding because the transfusions weren't doing anything and the bleeding spread to his lugs and other organs. they did x-ray and showed he did not have cancer or any obstructions in his intestines. he was completely healthy except for the ITP and enlarged spleen. other than that, he was COMPLETELY healthy. he did not get into rat poison most definitely, that's what they first vet tried to accuse us of. I was wondering what is the proper treatment for ITP with history of ehrlicia. We begged the vet to use vitamin k, but she blatantly refused, and was so angered b our suggestion she huffed and puffed and stomred out the room. then the director told would not let us explain ouir reasonining, cutting us off mid-sentence saying, "vitamin k is not going to work" or "nope, not gonna work." we even had the previous vet that cared for him from texas call from texas to the vet here in SF, CA but she still refused to administer the Vitamin K. she kept pumping him with blood transfusions, filling our dog with blood with no where for it to go besides the rest of his organs. I want to know the proper procedures for such cases.
Hi Walter, I'm Dr. Deb. I recently came online and see that your question hasn't been answered. I'm so sorry that you've had to wait for a response, especially given the nature of your question.Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss; I know this must have been heartbreaking for you and your family.The diagnosis of ITP is not necessarily an easy one to make and while I'm not disputing this diagnosis, the causes of a low platelets are varied. If you'll indulge me for a moment, I'll cover the possible causes which then might dictate possible treatment options.1. Increased destruction as might be seen in Rickettesial or tick diseases. In a case like this or any case where a tick disease might be a factor, I'd start these patients on Doxycycline immediately.Unfortunately, Vitamin K is not the standard treatment for a tick disease although it would be if a rodenticide was suspected (see below). Auto-immune diseases such as ITP can also cause increased destruction as you know. High doses of steroids are the initial treatment of choice.If ITP is suspected and steroids are not effective after 7-14 days, then other immunosuppressive drugs should be considered: a) Azathioprine (Imuran®). Combination therapy with prednisone and azathioprine has been reported to have longest survival times. b) Cyclosporine (Neoral®): Neoral® is preferred over Sandimmune® because of more consistent absorption. However it has used on a limited basis because it is costly and requires therapeutic drug monitoring within the first 24-48 hrs then every few weeks c) Leflunomide: 4mg/kg every 24h. Leflunomide has been reported in a few studies to be effective in treating immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases. Very expensive.
2. Decreased production in the bone marrow. Some sort of underlying cancerous problem would be suspected. It would take a bone marrow biopsy to detect such a problem and obviously the prognosis is poor.
3. Sequestration such as in the spleen. Unfortunately, this is usually associated with a cancerous process, too, such as lymphoma. An ultrasound with a needle aspirate can be helpful in making this diagnosis.
4. Rodenticide poisoning. Even if there's not a high suspicion that this is the problem, treating with Vitamin K can be started since there is no downside to doing so.
5. Cancer elsewhere in the boy.
So, my approach to thrombocytopenia would be to start Doxycycline, start steroids, (usually I give an injection of Vincristine once if ITP is suspected), consider other immunosuppressive drugs if indicated, give transfusion if the platelets are low enough, start Melatonin (since it has been shown to increase platelet production), and give the owners a guarded prognosis.
If a rodenticide is suspected or is even a long-shot possibility, then I'll start Vitamin K at the same time.
Although the vet may not have felt that Vitamin K was indicated if they were certain that no rat poison had been ingested, it wouldn't have been harmful. I have to confess I don't understand the attitude that was shown to you either. It has no place in communication with owners as far as I'm concerned.
I know that you are absolutely devastated by Tacitus' death since everything happened so incredibly quickly. I also have to wonder whether or not he might have gone into DIC (LINK) given his rapid decline. This is a complicated cascade of events but ultimately is fatal.
Even though I know this isn't what you necessarily will want to hear, I would be doing a disservice to both you and him if I were less than truthful and honest. I hope you understand.
I also hope this helps you to understand what treatment options are usually considered in these cases.
Again, my condolences to you and your family. Deb
thank you for your information. the thing that gets to me is that he did not have any symptoms described. no lethargy. no red spots. gums a little light in color but still pink. no noticeable bruising. no discharge from his mouth or nose or eyes or ears. no bleeding from his skin. not weak. he ate normally. he slept normally. he ran without signs of pain or discomfort. he jumped on the couch. he played with our other baby. he was panting but not for long periods of time. usually, 10mins at most until we opened a window/door. he liked to sit outside. we took his temperature and it was at 100. I'm just trying to understand why it happened so quick. he was lively, alert, fully functional. but when tested, we were told he was anemic, he had no platelets, or were so low that they could not be detected by the machine. by the time we left him at the vet, the other thing I noticed that his hind legs shaking. I figured because he was scared by then. they did x-rays and ultrasounds and nothing else was wrong besides ITP and enlarged spleen. maybe he could have had other ailments but the first results mostly indicated ITP. the vet did say that his platelets were gone and vitamin K was not something that would help. they wanted him to attain more platelets by immunoglobulin transfusions, frozen plasma, match-donor blood and a list of other things. they also used doxycycline along with other meds. sadly, nothing worked and he basically died in 24hrs.
We got the blood results of our baby, Tacitus. out of all the list of diseases on there, he was negative for all EXCEPT Ehrlichia. the one disease the vet refused to accept was what was his actual condition. she said it was not ehrlichia. i saw what treatment is for this disease and she only did the doxycycline.
we took him to our regular vet and she suspected rodentcide. which we told her was not it as we are very sure he didnt get to any. she did say that vitamin k would be given to a rodentcide toxicity but did not do so because she was afraid to give it to him without knowing why he was bleeding. they are the ones who refurred us to the emergency vet. we also got a summary report and half the stuff stated on there were never told to us. and it seems one report to the next, information changes.
this just feels like its worse the more we find out.
it's not that i believe vitamin k would have made saved him but if there was a chance that it would have, i wish she would have taken it.
if he was going to die, then so be it but she didnt want to try. she said she wouldnt give him an injection because he would die frmo anaphalactic shock. we asked to give it to him orally but she said no because he would choke on the pill due to him not breathing well.
after reviewing the summary, she gave him other pills and many other shots. seems she could have given it to him, if he was going to die anyway, it would not have hurt.
we called various times to ask how he was and every time they said he was doing well. the report, however, says otherwise. maybe they didnt want to alarm us. Everytime we called them, it seems we were always given different information.
i guess what i'm struggling with more is that i really dont know what they did to him and it seems they didnt treat him well. and i just wish i knew what the treatment would be for Ehrlichia which may have caused the ITP. we asked for a detailed list but they only gave us the summary after we begged them to send it to us but they gave the run around.
if i knew the proper procedure then i guess i would be more at peace that they did try everything to save him. and i would be more at peace. but like you said, now we can never know if it would have worked. and as soon as he died, i didnt know we had the option to hold the body until we could get a necropsy or give us time to decide what to do with th remains, they just said, "would you like a private or group cremation" they didnt ask if that was an option, they made it seem that was our only choice. i dont know the process after they die since this is my first dog to die. now i feel they rushed to cremate him to get rid of evidence.
what i'm struggling i guess is that i just feel they are being not right about this.

Lollipop staff 'national shortage'
Lollipop men and women are fast becoming an endangered species.
They might still appear regularly in the annual honours lists, but they are becoming a less frequent sight on the streets.
A national survey has found a deepening shortage of people applying to help children across the road - leaving crossing patrols understaffed by as much as 80%.
And this means many more children going to school are crossing roads without a lollipop person in attendance.
The survey, accompanying a national competition run to highlight the good work of lollipop people, has found a widespread shortage of crossing patrols.
Every local authority contacted in the survey reported shortages - with an average of 25% too few crossing staff.
Acute problem
But in parts of London, where the problem was most acute, there were areas which only had a fifth of the staff they need to cover the usual number of crossings.
The London Borough of Barnet can only provide crossing patrols for 40% of the roads that it would like to staff.
Theo Panayi, senior road safety officer for the London Borough of Barnet, says the council cannot find more staff.
"We're trying to recruit all year - but it is proving very difficult to find people," he said.
Verbal abuse
There are also suggestions that the shortage reflects a more selfish attitude towards public service.
Sandra Barton, school crossing patrol supervisor at Warwickshire County Council, says that parents expect to have a lollipop person - but will not do it themselves.
"Their attitude is 'let someone else do it'. And then when there is no one outside their school they ring up and verbally abuse the council."
She says that in response, the council now offers a cash bonus of £25 to anyone who can find a new lollipop person, who will stay for at least three months.
But this so far has failed to deliver enough new applicants.
Among the practical reasons for the downturn in applications, she says, is that it only involves working a couple of hours a day - and potential recruits are worried about deductions to their benefits.
Road rage
There are also concerns about the aggression of drivers, who might take out their frustration on the crossing patrol person holding up the traffic.
"There are some parents who would park in the classroom if you let them. They only think about getting their own children to school."
But she says that it would still be an ideal job for a parent who would already be taking a child to school - and that there was a great deal of job satisfaction.
And the council is still leafleting, putting up posters and trying to find parents willing to help.
The competition to find the Lollipop Person of the Year, run Domino's Pizza, has been won by Fred Milstead of Harlow.
The £1,000 cheque will be presented by the head teacher of St. Alban's Catholic Junior School in Harlow at a special assembly.

Eco-retrofitting with building integrated living systems
Birkeland, Janis (2009) Eco-retrofitting with building integrated living systems. In Proceedings of : the 3rd CIB International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Built Environment : SASBE09 :, Delft University of Technology , Netherlands, Delft, Aula Congress Centre, pp. 1-9.
|Accepted Version (PDF 247kB)
Building integrated living systems (BILS), such as green roofs and living walls, could mitigate many of the challenges presented by climate change and biodiversity protection. However, few if any such systems have been constructed, and current tools for evaluating them are limited, especially under Australian subtropical conditions. BILS are difficult to assess, because living systems interact with complex, changing and site-specific social and environmental conditions. Our past research in design for eco-services has confirmed the need for better means of assessing the ecological values of BILS - let alone better models for assessing their thermal and hydrological performance. To address this problem, a research project is being developed jointly by researchers at the Central Queensland University (CQ University) and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), along with industry collaborators. A mathematical model under development at CQ University will be applied and tested to determine its potential for predicting their complex, dynamic behaviour in different contexts. However, the paper focuses on the work at QUT. The QUT school of design is generating designs for living walls and roofs that provide a range of ecosystem goods and services, or 'eco-services', for a variety of micro-climates and functional contexts. The research at QUT aims to develop appropriate designs, virtual prototypes and quantitative methods for assessing the potential multiple benefits of BILS in subtropical climates. It is anticipated that the CQ University model for predicting thermal behaviour of living systems will provide a platform for the integration of ecological criteria and indicators. QUT will also explore means to predict and measure the value of eco-services provided by the systems, which is still largely uncharted territory. This research is ultimately intended to facilitate the eco-retrofitting of cities to increase natural capital and urban resource security - an essential component of sustainability. The talk will present the latest range of multifunctional, eco-productive living walls, roofs and urban space frames and their eco-services.

MZ4R Boring to Drive
[Posted on Zpost as well]
Ok folks, I need some help. I bought a 2007 MZ4R in April on a whim. 10,200 miles on the car (perfect shape), drove it home from DC to Cincinnati. I loved it. For a while. Now I find it boring. It goes from 0-40 mph very fast. And then I have to stop accelerating. I haven't been in 5th gear for months. Winter is coming and then it will get stored. That will be very, very boring. Nothing to do with the MZ4 specifically. A Porsche, 370Z, Corvette or any other high performance car would be equally boring for me.
One unexpected side effect is my wife loves the car. Of course, she is home all the time and has put most of the miles on it this summer (I travel a lot for work). It's now her mid-life crisis car.
I need to do something to get the juices flowing again or the car will be sold. I could find a back road and run it hard through the twisties. Wish I knew where one of those roads were here in southwest Ohio. And where there aren't any other cars and especially cops. Would love to drive it somewhere where I could safely turn off the nannies and slide around a bit.
I'd really like to see how fast it will go. That isn't something I am willing to do on a road with police. Not safe and not smart. My personal speed record is just over 1,500 mph, but that was at 45,000 ft. in a fighter jet. Never been faster than 115 mph in a car. Would love to do 155 in the MZ4.
What can I do?

It's not just the lyrics and chords, but how the song is presented to the listener and how it can relate to their personal experiences. I never could just 'write to write'; it had to be a feeling or a notion of some sort. I do not know if that is a positive or a negative in the songwriters' creed, but personally it has worked in my favor thus far." -David Grace

Even when you own 50 per cent of Black Caviar, it's a long way from growing up the son of market gardeners in Victoria to racing in front of the Queen at Ascot.
Wearing his top hat and tails, Galileo Group's Neil Werrett (and Black Caviar's biggest single share owner) showed on Tuesday that he's coping well under pressure. When asked if Black Caviar's stellar unbeaten run of 21 starts for 21 wins could end any time soon, Werrett quipped: "I would sooner it happened back home as we would have a shorter trip back."
At a news conference on Tuesday – the first day of the five-day Royal Ascot carnival – Werrett and another of the horse's eight co-owners, Melbourne businessman Gary Wilkie, confirmed the mare couldn't be looking better and that trainer Peter Moody remained happy with her form.
"Peter [Moody] texted me this morning to say she is in great order and that is all we need to hear," Werrett said. "I think she is ready to roll."
Given Black Caviar has nine immediate minders – including a vet, deputy vet, and chiropractor – it's no wonder the horse that has already bagged $5.5 million in prize money is in tip-top condition.
Indeed, she is feeling far less pressure than her eight owners, trainer Peter Moody and jockey Luke Nolen. Not least given that Werrett was in London for business a couple of weeks ago, returned to Australia for seven days, before flying back to London last Friday.
"They are all feeling good, having fun over here, and holding up well, but to be honest I think everyone just wishes it was over," Melbourne entrepreneur and the man who bred Black Caviar, Rick Jamieson, told The Australian Financial Review at Ascot on Tuesday.
"If she wins it's the fairytale come true. But there's really nothing left to say. We just have to wait for Saturday and see how she goes."
Despite high hopes for a win or place, the Paul Messara-trained NSW horse Ortensia ran ninth on Tuesday in the Group One King's Stand Stakes. The mare suffered a bump early in the race, but her connections conceded she simply failed to produce the goods on the day.
Meanwhile, British galloping sensation, the unbeaten colt Frankel owned by Prince Khalid Abdulla, got Ascot 2012 off to a cracking start taking out the carnival's first race, the Group One Queen Anne Stakes, by a blistering 11 lengths.
Britain might be feeling the strain of uncertain economic times, but it didn't keep racegoers away, as organisers welcomed 46,100 people, a figure that was up 6 per cent on last year's crowd of 43,355. Wednesday's draw card is So You Think, when the New Zealand-bred, Australian-raced stallion jumps in the 150th anniversary of the Prince of Wales Stakes for a purse of £500,000 ($776,000) at 3.45pm UK time (00.45am AEST on Thursday).

The All-Star Game is major league baseball's traditional end to the first half of the season.
But the Padres reach the actual midpoint of the 162-game season Saturday evening against the Marlins in Miami.
The question is, will the Padres have a winning record half way through the season.
They go into the 81st game with a 40-40 record – not bad considering their 2-10 and 5-15 start.
The Padres are 4-0 against the Marlins and have out-scored Miami 20-3.
The Padres have decided to delay shortstop Everth Cabrera's rehab assignment until Monday and Tuesday when low Single-A Fort Wayne is is South Bend, Ind. He is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Tuesday when the Padres open a three-game interleague series in Boston, but probably won't rejoin the Padres until next Thursday. Cabrera has a left hamstring strain.
Meanwhile, second baseman Jedd Gyorko remains with the Padres receiving treatment for his right groin. He aggravated the injury Wednesday night while running out a hit on what was expected to be a short rehab assignment with Double-A San Antonio.
PADRES (40-40) at MARLINS (27-51)
Time: 4:10 p.m. Game: 2 of 4
TV: None
Radio: 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
Today's matchup
Padres LHP Eric Stults (6-5, 3.20 ERA)
Stults vs. the Marlins: 1-1 career, 3.54 ERA in four games, three starts (1-0 this season, 1.42 ERA in one start).
Stults at Marlins Ballpark: First appearance.
Stults, 33, is 3-4 is making his 17th start of the season and his 10th start on the road. He is 3-4 on the road with a 3.49 ERA. Left-handed hitters are batting only .192 (20-for-104) against Stults this season while right-handed hitters are batting .259. Overall, opponents are hitting .241 against Stults. Over his last 10 starts, Stults is 4-3 with a 2.30 ERA (the ninth-best ERA in the major leagues over the span), a .216 opposition batting average and 42 strikeouts against 14 walks. His 14.7 pitches per inning average is the sixth-best mark in the National League and he ranks 11th with 104 innings pitched.
Marlins vs. Stults:
Chris Coghlan: .000 (0-for-2, BB, SO)
Matt Diaz: .750 (3-for-4, 2B, HR, BB, SO)
Greg Dobbs: .000 (0-for-3)
Adeiny Hechavarria: .000 (0-for-2, BB)
Miguel Olivo: .333 (1-for-3, SO)
Marcell Ozuna: .667 (2-for-3, 2B)
Placido Polanco: .667 (2-for-3)
Justin Ruggiano: .000 (0-for-3, BB)
Alex Sanabia: .000 (0-for-2, SO)
Chris Valaika: .333 (1-for-3)
Marlins RHP Jacob Turner (1-0, 1.97 ERA)
Turner vs. the Padres: First appearance.
Turner at Marlins Ballpark: 2-1 career, 2.41 ERA in five starts (1-0 this season, 1.93 ERA in two starts)
Turner, 22, was the ninth overall pick of the 2009 draft by the Detroit Tigers. He came to the Marlins last July 23 with catcher Rob Brantly in the trade that sent infielder Omar Infante and pitcher Anibal Sanchez to the Tigers. Turner made his major league debut at the age of 20 and is 3-6 with a 4.15 ERA in 18 starts over parts of three seasons. He was 3-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 10 Triple-A starts with New Orleans before being called up by the Marlins. This will be the sixth start for the Marlins this season for the 6-foot-5, 215-pounder. This will be the first outing ever against the Padres.
Padres vs. Turner
No Padres hitter has faced Turner.

Miley Cyrus Ditches Pants in Miami (PHOTOS)
Miley Cyrus was spotted leaving a recording studio in Miami, Fla., on Thursday afternoon, and the newly engaged singer, 19, was wearing a over-sized flannel shirt and not much else. Accessorizing with some stylish shades, the future Mrs. Liam Hemsworth also had her blonde locks tied up in a trendy top knot while wearing rocker-chic ankle boots.
When it comes to the "no pants" look, it appears as though Cyrus is a repeat offender.
Last month, the "Party in the USA" songstress stepped out at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas and showed off her gams in a white coat — sans pants, of course.

USGS Groundwater Information: Branch of Geophysics
J. H. William, USGS, 425 Jordan Road, Troy, NY 12180, USA, and
F. L. Paillet, USGS, Borehole Geophysics Research Project, Box 25046, MS 403, Denver, CO 80225, USA
Cross-borehole flowmeter pulse tests define subsurface connections between discrete fractures using short stress periods to monitor the propagation of the pulse through the flow system. This technique is an improvement over other cross-borehole techniques because measurements can be made in open boreholes without packers or previous identification of water-producing intervals. The method is based on the concept of monitoring the propagation of pulses rather than steady flow through the fracture network. In this method, a hydraulic stress is applied to a borehole connected to a single, permeable fracture, and the distribution of flow induced by that stress monitored in adjacent boreholes. The transient flow responses are compared to type curves computed for several different types of fracture connections. The shape of the transient flow response indicates the type of fracture connection, and the fit of the data to the type curve yields an estimate of its transmissivity and storage coefficient. The flowmeter pulse test technique was applied in fractured shale at a volatile-organic contaminant plume in Watervliet, New York. Flowmeter and other geophysical logs were used to identify permeable fractures in eight boreholes in and near the contaminant plume using single-borehole flow measurements. Flowmeter cross-hole pulse tests were used to identify connections between fractures detected in the boreholes. The results indicated a permeable fracture network connecting many of the individual boreholes, and demonstrated the presence of an ambient upward hydraulic-head gradient throughout the site.

Snooki, Situation Hosting Vegas Halloween Blowouts
New Jersey will be moving to Las Vegas on Halloween weekend for a pair of nightlife parties at JET nightclub hosted separately by Snooki and The Situation.
The Situation will kick off the "Nightmare in Jersey" festivities with a massive party on Friday night at JET, which happens to be a part of the Mirage Casino, and the next night, Snooki will judge a $10,000 contest for best costume. We're told the guidette has already finalized plans for a costume — and it includes pickle-shaped sequins, a tribute to her favorite food.
But there's more according to The Light Group, the Vegas based hospitality company that's hosting these Halloween events. Ciara will be celebrating her 25th birthday that Friday with a party performance at Haze Nightclub, followed the next night by none other than Marilyn Manson, who'll judge another costume contest. Audrina Patridge is scheduled to dance a la Dancing with the Stars in costume for The Bank nightclub at the Bellagio.

The Interrelationship between Formal and Informal Delcentralization and its Impact on Sub-Central Governance Performance: The Case of Vietnam
Formal and informal institutions are often viewed as complements or substitutes in empirical and theoretical works. However, no evidence of complementarities or substitutes is found in our empirical analysis of the interrelation between formal and informal decentralization across 64 provinces of Vietnam. This paper finds that the formally decentralized system of public service supply is accommodating the informal one, but informal decentralization in public order provision tends to compete with the existing ineffective formal system. This implies that the central government needs to reorganize the system of decentralizing the provision of public goods/services and public in order to make informal institutions complementary rather than rival or free-riding on formal ones.

Despite polls that show President Obama getting a bounce from post-convention polls, Mitt Romney's campaign is playing down those numbers.
"Don't get too worked up about the latest polling," writes Romney pollster Neil Newhouse in a memo today. "While some voters will feel a bit of a sugar-high from the conventions, the basic structure of the race has not changed significantly. The reality of the Obama economy will reassert itself as the ultimate downfall of the Obama presidency, and Mitt Romney will win this race."
The Gallup Poll yesterday showed Obama leading Romney by 5 percentage points, while surveys by Reuters/Ispos and Rasmussen had the president up by 4 points.
In his "State of the Race" memo, Newhouse argues that there are three sets of numbers that will ultimately affect the way people will vote in November: unemployment trends, how many Americans are looking for work, and how many are on food stamps.
"President Obama is the only president in modern American history to stand before the American people asking for re-election with this many Americans struggling to find work," Newhouse writes. "The key numbers in this election are the 43 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment, the 23 million Americans struggling to find work, and the 47 million Americans who are on food stamps."

Fourteenth Annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge Matchups Set for Nov. 27-28
May 14, 2012
The 14th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge Presented by DICK'S Sporting Goods on Nov. 27-28 will be highlighted by North Carolina at Indiana, Ohio State at Duke and North Carolina State at Michigan, six programs expected to be highly ranked entering the 2012-13 season. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will combine to televise all 12 games of the two-day event matching top college basketball programs playing for conference supremacy and the Commissioners Cup.
One more Shot at the Dozen: Duke, which has won 11 of its 13 Challenge games, will host Ohio State in its quest for an event-record 12th victory. Duke lost to Ohio State last year and to Wisconsin in 2009.
First Challenge Matchups: Four of the telecasts will feature first-time Challenge matchups: Virginia at No. 22 Wisconsin, Maryland at Northwestern, No. 9 Michigan State at Miami and Georgia Tech at Illinois.
In addition to first-time Challenge games, several of the teams are infrequent opponents: Michigan State and Miami have never met; Northwestern and Maryland played one other time, a Northwestern victory in 1958; Virginia and Wisconsin split its two games, Virginia in 1975 and Wisconsin in 1999; and Illinois has defeated Georgia Tech in six of its seven games, including the last one in 2001.
Tourney Teams: Eleven teams between the two conferences played in the 2012 NCAA Tournament: Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, NC State and Virginia from the ACC, and Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin from the Big Ten.
Following a First with a Rematch: Boston College and Penn State and Nebraska and Wake Forest will follow first-time Challenge meetings with a second consecutive showdown in the event.
Boston College, which won its first five games, lost to Penn State last year, while Nebraska lost its Challenge debut to Wake Forest.
Threepeat: Five of the games will mark three-time Challenge matchups: North Carolina at Indiana (Indiana win in 2001 and North Carolina in 2004), NC State at Michigan (Michigan win in 2003 and NC State in 2006), Ohio State at Duke (Duke win in 2002 and Ohio State in 2011), Iowa at Virginia Tech (won by Virginia Tech in 2006 and 2009) and Purdue at Clemson (Purdue win in 2003 and Clemson in 2007).
Three and one more: Minnesota and Florida State will meet for the fourth time (Minnesota won in 2000 and Florida State in 2004 and 2007).

The Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Status of Women, Senator Kay Patterson, officially opened the Women's Suffrage Commemorative Fountain in the newly renovated Old Parliament House Rose Gardens.
The commemorative fountain is located at the entrance to the House of Representatives garden within a walkway linking Old Parliament House to Constitution Place.
The fountain comprises a rectangular water feature approximately 7m long x 2.5 m wide x 0.4m high. The base of the water feature lined with mosaic inspired by wisteria in the suffragette shades of green, white and purple. Visual interest is provided by water jets within the fountain.
The border of the water feature is etched with a passage from the Commonwealth Franchise Act in 1902 and commemoration of the 1903 election in which women voted and stood for Parliament for the first time.
A timeline extends from the water feature along a wisteria covered pergola with concrete paving towards Constitution Place. Along the timeline names and achievements of significant women in Australian political life are recorded.

Australia's premier jumps rider Steve Pateman made Grand National Hurdle day his own at Sandown on Sunday winning both feature jumps races.
Pateman is dominating like no other rider in any era and created further history by joining Frank Douglas as the only jockey to win four Grand National Hurdles when he scored on Sea King ($6).
In the previous race, Pateman won a third successive Crisp Steeplechase on champion jumper Bashboy ($1.40 fav).
The six times Tommy Corrigan Medalist will be long odds on to win a seventh medal next month, the jumps riders equivalent of the Scobie Breasley Medal.
While Pateman has won four successive Grand Nationals on Black And Bent (2011, 2013) and Brungle Cry (2012), Douglas' four wins spanned 1934 to 1943.
Pateman said it ''pretty amazing'' to be part of Grand National Hurdle history.
He quipped his main focus of late was on ''the scales and the refridgerator'' in reference to his well documented battle with weight.
While Pateman has won all our jumps majors he still yearns for the chance to pit his skills against the best in Europe.
"You would need to bring your own horse, it's too hard otherwise. It would be a great advertisement for our jumps racing.''
In the meantime Pateman, 31, said he simply aimed at longevity in his career as he continues to add to the record books.
Pateman had little cause for concern on Bashboy but the win on Sea King presented a far greater challenge.
"I lost my whip about 200 metres out. He's a quirky horse and I was trying to switch hands,'' he said.
Gotta Take Care ($3.10 eq fav), racing for a $300,000 bonus, was anchored by his big weight of 71kg and struggled into fourth place.
Pateman teamed with two of his greatest supporters, Bashboy's trainer Ciaron Maher and Sea King's mentor Patrick Payne.
Payne summed up his regard for Pateman: "I've said it before you just leg him up, sit back and relax. He does his homework so well.''
Payne said most credit for Sea King's win should go to New Zealand trainer and long-time family friend Kevin "Dummy'' Myers, who sent the jumper over about three weeks ago.
"He's tough and has got an unbelievable engine,'' Payne said.
For Payne, the former star Group 1 jockey, the Grand National triumph continues a stellar season in which he has also won the Great Eastern Steeplechase (Lord Of The Song) and Warrnambool Grand Annual Steeplechase with Chaparro.
Bashboy, who strolled home by eight lengths, has now won more than $75,439 in stakes over jumps and will return to Sandown on Sunday week to bid for a hat-trick of Grand National Steeplechase wins.
Weight will be the key factor.
Under the set weights conditions Bashboy won the Crisp with 69kg on Sunday. Last year he won the Grand National with 72.5kg and he has won the Thackeray and Crisp steeplechases since.

Food Fight Foreplay
Supermarket commercials usually advertise fresh food, but this one for the U.K.'s MySupermarket.com is all about the fresh clients. In the funny ad, a British hottie starts a sexy/gross food fight after seeing his wife bent over the refrigerator. Let's just say, it begins by asking "How low can you go?" and then ends with sausage. [Ad Week]

T (no first name) Wignesan
Stop Writing Literature, You Garrulous Indian - Poem by T (no first name) Wignesan
a life of toil for the man in the centre
a hub in the peripheral tireless wheel
where he go then where he go this working man
he go on waking people working at waking man
no words cling now no words meant in blame
the tongue he lash the words they now tame
no shock of blast open laughter rock the hall
everyman there say there sure were a man
a man no fear cowed in communion to other
made for no gods made for no demons either
all men he know best when he see just once
no second thought resurrect the man if bad
so go tell the magi no trek in sight in sky
here a man be born here he so sure die
other no like see one so bright stand up high
other no like feel like sky fall low into ocean
what make 'm i say with feeling so just
is sure he different he force hisself work
work work work work an' again work
he work nite an' nite so 50-hour in day
where he go then where he go this working man
he go on waking people working at waking man
where you go from word born here now
turn and twist all whoring the alphabet
'don't write anything you can get published'
so publish only what you can't call your own
writing like reading's a public coital act
so showing your work is exhibitionism
'why don't you send your stuff around
keeping it to yourself's sheer masturbation'
reading-watching-listening's just voyeurism
so sending wares around is prostitutionism
where he go then where he go this working man
he go on waking people working at waking man
he it was in minesweeper capture aurora borealis
message from extrasensory enter into he word
in Bengal waters alone he hear No-man cry
only in deepdown psyche water drip drip dry
then on land he no see reason to the fight
so he let he wrists spill he guts to the fill
then he take the world on all by he torn self
he spare no skin in dug-Malayan-jungle-out
what he do what he think he do he no tell
everybody meet man an' no see albatross hang
he no tell story like ol' mariner in dream
he go wake people from dumb dead trance
many many people high up no like this act
some call him stuckup other just 'im damn
where he go then where he go this working man
he go on waking people working at waking man
is all he do then what kind of working this
is big work man 'cause most body dead sleep
where he go then where he go this working man
he go on waking people working at waking man

By Mike Baker Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee may continue allowing the nation's spy agency to get fake ID cards from the state, with a spokeswoman saying Friday that the governor broadly interprets a bill aimed at giving cover to law enforcement officers.
The proposed law, approved by the Legislature on Friday, limits the distribution of bogus driver's licenses to officers engaged in "law enforcement activities." While the CIA is not a law enforcement agency, Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith says the governor broadly interprets the meaning of "law enforcement activities" to include the CIA.
"In terms of the overall bill and policy, the governor has mostly been agnostic," Smith said. She said Inslee planned to sign the bill into law.
The governor's stance runs counter to the interpretation of lawmakers earlier this week. Democratic Rep. Judy Clibborn of Mercer Island had said the measure would not allow the CIA to get the ID cards and that the bill was written to target only law enforcement officers because of concerns about why the CIA was using the licenses.
Clibborn said Friday that she understands how the governor is interpreting the language, and said she will continue working on the issue over the coming year. She wants to work with the Department of Licensing more on the policy, wants to see how other states handle it, and wants to make sure that the licenses are being used only for law enforcement activity.
"What you don't want to be is just unregulated," Clibborn said.
The fake ID program has been operating without legislative approval — and in relative secrecy — for years. The Kitsap Sun recently reported that the CIA has been utilizing the program more than any federal, state or local agency.
Some Republicans in the state House have expressed concern that the licenses will be provided without sufficient oversight. However, the measure passed the state Senate unanimously Friday.
Democratic Sen. Tracey Eide of Federal Way, who sponsored the legislation, said the law strengthens the state's control over the licenses. On the issue of whether the CIA would qualify, Eide said that decision would be up to Inslee and the state's attorney general.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Bob Ferguson said it was premature to comment in the legal interpretation of a bill that is not yet law.

The Washington College of Law, part of American University since 1949, is located one-half mile from the university's 78-acre campus in one of the city's safest and most beautiful residential neighborhoods. The law school is 15 minutes from the White House, yet it is set within the green boundaries of a residential neighborhood. In short, WCL offers the best of Washington, D.C.
Washington is without peer as a law student's city. Law students find countless opportunities for externships, clinics, and independent study as the Washington, D.C. area is the center of the nation's legal institutions and home to numerous federal and state agencies, courts, trade associations, public interest groups, corporations, and hundreds of private firms. Many classes address contemporary national issues, and WCL professors represent the entire spectrum of the profession, public as well as private.
The Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. Congress, federal agencies, and foreign embassies are central to Washington, but there is still more to the Metropolitan area. The Maryland and northern Virginia suburbs encompass thriving cities with their own governments, courts, and agencies. Corporations, consulting agencies, and technical firms are increasing in number and size throughout the region. Cultural activities and sports abound and are also a part of the essential foundation of the Washington Metropolitan area.
