Findlay, that's The Explorers! What a great movie. Isn't that Ethan Hawke?
Your Favorite: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
EXPLORERS!!! [1985] Directed by Joe Dante, starring a young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix. I love this film very much and a word must be said about the score by Jerry Goldsmith – wonderful.
I was watching "Basic Instinct" on the telly and found that Jerry Goldsmith used the same sort of sounds and arrangements in composing its score. It didn't fit that movie at all. I guess that's my own personal judgment, which from a comparisons view is rather biased. But yeah…

laura was yours To Die For? (lizzie's guess)
i haven't seen that, worth watching?
Yes, it is To Die For, Lizzie has a good eye…
The movie is a bit uneven, but it's entertaining and has some great memorable moments. Definitely one of Nicole Kidman's best roles…she's really chilling and creepy as a vapid, soulless local weather-woman who'll do anything to become famous…
Haley Brown's pic is Rick Moranis in Little Shop of Horrors.
maybe ill check it out, it was Gus van sant wasn't it?
– nice lizzie
so what's left?
did anyone confirm Josh Stone's pic?
i wonder where my portrait is :\
From the 17/2 'Josh Stone: the actor is Jean-Pierre Léaud. The movie could be Domicile Conjugale or Baiser Volés but not sure.'
it could also be Amour a vingt ans, defo one of the Antoine Doinel series.
If I have go through my box set tonight and find the right scene, damn it I will!

Vijender Singh hopes for London berth in Astana
India's top boxer Vijender Singh, who won a bronze medal in the 2008 Beijing Games, said he has got used to the pressure of expectations and hoped to book his London berth in the forthcoming Asia Olympic qualifying tournament starting from Wednesday in Astana, Kazakhstan.
India's top boxer Vijender Singh, who won a bronze medal in the 2008 Beijing Games, said he has got used to the pressure of expectations and hoped to book his London berth in the forthcoming Asia Olympic qualifying tournament starting from Wednesday in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Vijender, a middleweight boxer (75kg), said on Monday that he has always been under pressure right after winning the Olympic bronze medal four years ago and it has always helped him to bring out his best.
"I have always been under pressure ever since I won the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics. It is nothing new for me. It's there before I leave for any tournament," said Vijender on the eve of team's departure for the qualifying tournament.
Vijender, a former World No.1, along with Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Shiva Thapa (56kg), Sumit Sangwan (81kg), Manpreet Singh (91kg) and Paramjeet Samota (+91kg) trained at the Karnail Singh Stadium here early morning before leaving for Astana.
Vijender made a first round exit from last year's World Championship, also a qualifying event. This time the stakes are high as Astana offers the Indian boxers the last chance to qualify for Olympics.
"There was pressure when I didn't get a gold in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. I went on to get a gold medal in the Asian Games but that hasn't lessened the pressure. All I can say is that I have become mentally better prepared to deal with it since Beijing," said Vijender.
Vijender said the situation he faces before London is very similar to what he had come up before Beijing.
"It's the same situation that I faced before the Beijing Games. I had lost in two attempts and was left with just one chance. At that time, there were just two slots available and I went on to win the gold. This time, there are four slots in my category. So, I have a better chance. I just have to make the semi-finals," he said.
Vijender also hoped god would be kind with him.
"I have to give my 100 per cent in the ring and that I will do, but the rest of it is in God's hands. So hopefully he will be kind to me," he said.
Vijender said he prefers to train at the National Institute of Sports (NIS) in Patiala than going abroad for preparatory camps.
"I feel comfortable training in Patiala. The facilities here are better. And if I get injured I would also recover quickly here at home instead of a foreign land," he said.
Vijender said young boxers should get a chance on exposure trips while experienced boxers like him should be allowed to train at home.
"There are youngsters coming up and it is important that they also get exposure. So, if guys like me decide to skip foreign tours, the younger lot gets the chance to go out which is good for the future," he said.

White Chocolate: The Non-Conventionalist.
You buck tradition whenever possible. In fact, this isn't even real chocolate! It's a chocolate derivative with no cocoa solids. You're also laidback and chill since white chocolate has barely any caffeine.
Treat Yourself: Jacques Torres White Chocolate Bar
Dark Chocolate: The Purist
Your motto is, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' You would never choose processed, sweetened food over the real thing and chocolate is no exception. You'll savor each piece, knowing exactly where the cacao beans were grown and what percentage dark chocolate it is.
Treat Yourself: sweetriot riotBar
Spicy Chocolate: The Adventurer
You've read Frommers inside and out and criss-crossed the globe with only a backpack (even if it was just a dream). You'll try just about anything — local delicacies, skydiving — you name it. So of course you're up for chocolate spiked with chilies — the more extreme the better.
Treat Yourself: Vosges Red Fire Exotic Candy Bar for extra tingly snacking or Chuao Spicy Maya for a more mild flame.
Salty Chocolate: The Epicurean
You're a bit of a snob, to be honest. That's ok, we like snobs. You always know the best restaurants; you have impeccable taste and a very discerning palate. That's why you take your chocolate so seriously. You've known how well salt and chocolate go together for ages, so now it's time to graduate to more sophisticated ingredients, like toasted Japanese bread crumbs and sea salt .
Treat Yourself: Chuao Panko Bar
PopRocks Chocolate: The Inner-Child
It's not that you haven't grown up yet; it's just that you're very in touch with your inner child. You have lasting enthusiasm for the little things in life and a penchant for mischief, which means you'll love the nostalgic combo of dark chocolate and the candy of your youth.
Treat Yourself: Chuao Firecracker Chocolate

PHILADELPHIA -An Ivy League title and NCAA Tournament berth are at stake. Winner take all. Known as the purest form of college basketball, the Ivy League's conference schedule is a true round-robin and there is no conference tournament. The best record at the end of the 14-game regular season earns the NCAA Tournament bid. As is tradition, this historic rivalry always serves as the Ancient Eight's regular season finale, and Penn and Princeton enter Tuesday's matchup with identical league records to set up a true championship game for this "14-game tournament." Tip off from Jadwin Gym is set for 5:30 p.m.
Catching the Game
A ticket to the men's game (8 p.m.) gets fans into the women's game for free. For those that can't make it to Jadwin Gym, fans can watch the game on the Ivy League Digital Network and listen on the Penn Sports Network. Live stats can be found here and live twitter updates (@PennWBB) are also available throughout each contest. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion.
In the Series vs. Princeton
This rivalry dates back to 1974 and the team's have played every year since. Tuesday's matchup marks the 76th meeting between the Quakers and Tigers. Princeton won the first eight in this series and has won the last 11 for a 52-23 all-time series lead. Penn's last win over the Tigers was March 11, 2008 in a high-scoring season finale at The Palestra (85-78). Princeton has won eight in a row at Jadwin Gym dating back to Penn's double-overtime win in 2005 (61-59). The Tigers have won five of the last six meetings by at least 30 points and are the only Ivy League team Coach McLaughlin has yet to beat.
Ivy Title Implications
Penn and Princeton are each 11-2 in Ivy League play. The winner of today's game earns the outright Ivy League championship and the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The loser is guaranteed second place which brings an automatic berth to the WNIT.
A Penn Win Would...
... clinch the program's third Ivy title and NCAA Tournament berth and first since 2003-04.
... tie the school record for most wins in a season (22 in 2000-01).
... mark the second-most Ivy wins in school history (14 in 2000-01).
... snap an 11-game losing streak to Princeton (last win was exactly six years ago, 85-78).
... snap an eight-game losing streak at Jadwin Gym (last win was Feb. 1, 2005 in the only double overtime game in series and program history, 61-59).
... match the best two-year stretch in school history (40 wins between 1999-00 and 2000-01.
... make the Quakers 22-6 overall and 12-2 in Ivy play at the end of the regular season.
A Penn Loss Would...
... snap a four-game winning streak.
... make the Quakers 21-7 overall and 11-3 in Ivy play at the end of the regular season.
... be less good than a win.
Winner Take All
This is just the second time in Ivy League women's basketball history that two teams face each other in the season finale with the League title on the line and the first since 1994-95, when Dartmouth and Harvard entered the last game of the season both 11-2 in League play. The Big Green prevailed in Cambridge, Mass., 72-48.
Progress against Princeton
It has been a one-sided series of late. During Princeton's 11-game winning streak, the Quakers have lost all but one by double digits, including a 78-27 loss at The Palestra in the 2011 season finale—when the current seniors were freshmen. However, in the season finale at The Palestra last year, the Quakers led the Tigers with under nine minutes to play. Princeton jumped out to a 22-4 lead in the first 13 minutes, but the Red and Blue completely erased the 18-point deficit and led 36-35 with 9:12 to go. Princeton retook the lead though and went on to push the final margin to 60-44.
Rising in the Records
This will be the final regular season game for senior captain Alyssa Baron, who will extend her school record to 115 games played. She has started all of them since stepping on campus. The last time she was not in Penn's starting lineup was March 9, 2010—a 68-51 loss in the season finale at Princeton. Baron is the only player in school history with 1,700 career points and 300 career assists. She is 21 points from becoming the Ivy League's ninth all-time leading scorer. See pages 20-21 of the game notes for a complete breakdown of where she ranks among these and many other categories in the Penn and Ivy League all-time record books.
Sydney Stipanovich is seventh in the nation (and second among freshman in the NCAA) with an Ivy League-leading 3.56 blocks per game. Her 96 blocks in 27 games are more than every Ivy League team other than Princeton (110). The next closest Ivy player is Harvard's Temi Fagbenle with 40 blocks in 28 games. In addtion, Stipanovich has already set the school's single-season blocks record—she surpassed the 20-year-old with eight games still remaining—and is now tied for second on the Ivy League's all-time single-season blocks list. Prior to this season, no Penn player had ever recorded eight blocks in a game, but Stipanovich has done so three times this year. One week after setting the school record at eight, she broke her own single-game mark with nine blocks against Harvard on Feb. 1—third-most all-time in an Ivy League game.
Magic Number: 60
The statistic that may most indicate a Penn win or loss? 60 points. Since head coach Mike McLaughlin took over at Penn, the Quakers are 46-8 (.852) when they score 60 points, including 19-0 this season. In comparison, the Quakers are just 19-69 (.216) when they've scored less than 60 points under Coach McLaughlin, including 2-6 this season. The trend continues defensively. Over the last four seasons, the Red and Blue are 12-46 (.207) when allowing more than 60 points. But when holding opponents under that number, the Quakers hold a healthy winning record of 53-31 (.631).
Top 10 in the Nation
As they say, defense wins championships. And the Quakers boast one of the nation's best:
- Only two teams in the nation are tougher to score on than the Quakers. Penn ranks third in the NCAA in field goal percentage defense. The Quakers allow opponents to shoot at just a 33.6 percent clip—which is bettered only by top-ranked and undefeated UCONN, who holds the opposition to 30.5 percent, and Hampton (33.1%).
- With that effort, Penn is also among the top 10 in the country in scoring defense as opponents only average 56.3 points per game—10th in the NCAA.
- As a team, the Red and Blue rank 10th in the NCAA in blocked shots. The Quakers average a league-best 5.7 blocks per game.
- Penn is also one of the most disciplined teams in the country as the Quakers have committed the seventh-fewest fouls among 343 Division I schools.
Ivy Leaders
Penn finished a tough non-conference slate ranked last in the Ancient Eight in three-point percentage at 27.2 percent (64-of-235). But in Ivy League play (13 games), the Quakers lead the league at 37.2 percent from beyond the arc. That's due in part of the hot shooting of junior Kathleen Roche (22-of-44; 50.0%), who leads the league from three-point range in conference play.
Top Competition
Excluding Dartmouth, Penn's five other losses have come against some of the nation's best, including No. 2 Notre Dame. All five have at least 19 wins and three are ranked or have received Top 25 votes. In all, those five losses came against teams with a combined record of 115-35 (.767)
Penn Trends
Penn is 21-4 in its last 25 games ... Penn has won six of the last seven on the road ... The Red and Blue are 13-1 when their free throw percentage is better than 70 percent ... Penn has won 26 of the last 27 games when outrebounding its opponent ... The Quakers are 15-0 this year (and 33-1 over the last three seasons) when shooting better than 40 percent ... Penn has reached 70 points in nine games this year (reached that number a combined nine times during Coach McLaughlin's first four seasons) and is 17-1 under Coach McLaughlin when scoring more than 70 points (only loss in double overtime, 88-84, at Harvard in 2011) ... At least two Quakers have scored in double figures in all but two games this year ... Sydney Stipanovich's 10 double-doubles this year are the most in a season at Penn since Jennifer Fleischer in 2004-05.
Winning Streaks
Prior to this season, Penn had just one winning streak of eight or more games in its entire history. The Quakers have two this season. The 2013-14 Quakers won a school-record eight straight non-conference games earlier this season and won nine straight games prior to a loss at Dartmouth on Feb. 22. Before this year, Penn's only eight-game winning streak came in 2000-01 when the Quakers went 22-6 and won their last 21 regular season games.
Winning Seasons
Penn has clinched its second straight winning season. Last year, the Quakers snapped a string of seven straight losing campaigns and finished 18-13. The last time Penn posted back-to-back winning seasons was 2003-04 (17-11) and 2004-05 (15-12). In addition, Penn's 39 wins in the last two seasons are the most in a two-year span since the program's best two-year stretch of 40 wins between 1999-00 (18-10) and 2000-01 (22-6).
About the Tigers
- Princeton has won four straight Ivy League titles and has lost just four Ivy League games in that span. Two of those have come this season in losses to Harvard at home and at Brown. The Tigers had two common non-conference opponents with the Quakers as both teams lost to Saint Joseph's and beat Drexel.
- The Tigers boast the Ivy League's top offense with a league-best 47.6 shooting percentage. They are atop the Ivies in assists and rebounding, as well as second in the three-point percentage. Defensively, they rank third in the league in scoring and second in field goal percentage defense.
- Blake Dietrick averages a team-high 14.4 points per game. Kristen Helmstetter scores 11.7 per game and Michelle Miller is also in double figures (10.6). Alex Wheatley (9.9 ppg) has an Ivy-best 54.8 shooting percentage. Helmstetter leads the team with 6.4 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game.
Last Weekend
Penn capped its final homestand with a weekend sweep to clinch a postseason berth and the program's second 20-win season. On Friday, the Quakers jumped out to a 13-0 lead over Columbia and led 34-19. The Quakers were never threatened in the second half and cruised to a 65-50 win to record the 20th win of the season. On Senior Night, Penn trailed at the half, 26-21, but once again relied on its post play and defense to get in the win column. Leading by one with 13 minutes left, Penn held the Big Red scoreless for nearly 10 minutes and went on a decisive 13-0 run to pull out a 50-43 victory.
Up Next
Regardless of the outcome, this will not be the last game of the season for the Quakers, who have clinched a postseason berth. If the Quakers don't qualify for the NCAA Tournament, they will serve as the Ivy League's automatic bid to the WNIT. Both the NCAA Tournament and WNIT fields are announced on Monday night.

Soybean aphids move toward Nebraska border
The soybean aphid has completed its march across Iowa and can now be found near the Nebraska border. Hal Tucker (Tucker Consulting, Storm Lake, IA) reported finding aphids in Woodbury County during late August, and I found soybean aphids just east of Correctionville on September 3 and south of Holstein in Ida County. Aphid densities were extremely low, less than one aphid per 25 leaflets.
Although it has not been confirmed, I would expect that every county in Iowa probably has soybean aphids. Reports from eastern Iowa indicate that aphid populations are rapidly declining, in part due to feeding by beneficial insects such as the Asian lady beetle, which has been very common in some fields; and in part due to a natural decline in the population as summer ends. No economic damage is expected from this insect during September; therefore, it is unlikely that fields would need to be sprayed for this insect. Winged female aphids will start to abandon soybean fields and fly to buckthorn where they will mate and then lay eggs that will overwinter.

BATTLING Dorset ended two years of MCCA Championship misery by securing a four-wicket win at Herefordshire tonight.
Without a Western Division victory since July 2012, the Dean Park outfit grabbed a memorable triumph in fading light at Eastnor.
It was a much-needed win for a team that had suffered nine successive league defeats and one abandonment since beating Shropshire on home soil two years ago.
Wiltshire, Devon, Wales, Cornwall, Herefordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Berkshire had all beaten Dorset since – the latter twice – while a contest against Devon was rained off.
But Dorset's disappointing run finally came to an end this evening and it was the impact of Ryan Scott that proved crucial in the final reckoning.
The visitors, all out for 120 in their first innings, were chasing a modest target of 207 after Herefordshire managed 327 runs in total.
A knock of 77* from Scott – the son of Middlesex head coach Richard Scott – gave Dorset just the platform they needed.
The Lymington man, batting at number three, was aided by modest efforts by a number of the top order and Jake Lintott was one of the more useful contributors with 30.
With six wickets down, 34-year-old Tom Hicks arrived at the crease and his 35* alongside Scott helped Dorset across the line.
The win marked the completion of a star turn from Hicks, who had claimed nine victims with the ball across the course of the match, which included a haul of six for 45 in the first innings.
Dorset's next Western Division outing is at home to Oxfordshire from July 20-22.

Joe got Demegrad inspired, and Demegrad inspired me to try it using a pate fermente made with starter rather than commercial yeast.
Looks great
That pane siciliano bread is one of the best I've ever tasted. How did the timing work out with the pate fermentee, I know everybody's starter is different. Your loaves look amazing, you have an earth oven or something like that right, I wish I had a real hearth type oven for baking especially pizzas, maybe someday. Anyway beautiful work and I hope they're as delicious as they look.
demegrad - siciliano
Hi demegrad - I describe the taste and you can see a pic of my oven setup here. I was amazed at how active the little bit of starter I used became when I mixed it into the pate fermente - I thought maybe the salt would inhibit it a little, but it didn't. The final dough doubled very quickly, and the loaves got huge oven spring. Thanks for the inspiration and info on your methods.
Those look great!

Istanbul (AFP) Nov 19, 2011
Countries involved in bluefin tuna fishing have decided to do more to protect a species of shark against collateral killing, environmental groups said Saturday.
Elizabeth Griffin Wilson of the Oceana group said the 48-state International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) had ruled that tuna fishermen who find a silky shark in their nets must put it back in the sea.
The only exceptions should be coastal communities who hunt the shark for consumption, she said.
Wilson hailed the move, saying studies had shown the silky shark to be highly vulnerable to long-line tuna fishing in the Atlantic.
The US Pew Environment Group also praised the decision, while deploring the fact that another shark, the porbeagle, was not similarly protected.
Marine protection groups claim that three-quarters of migratory shark species that inhabit bluefin fishing areas are threatened with extinction.
Pew wants fishermen to use new materials that allow sharks to escape, such as nylon fishing lines that can be severed by a shark but not a tuna.
ICCAT has been meeting in Turkey to discuss ways to put tighter controls on catches of the endangered fish, savoured by sushi eaters for its firm meat.
One decision was to introduce an electronic tracing scheme for catches to replace the returns on paper which environment groups say is open to widespread fraud.
ICCAT also cut from 20 metres to 12 metres the size of boat which must undergo a mandatory inspection of its bluefin haul on return to port, Pew said.
But the WWF condemned as weak and insufficient a decision to set the minimum size of swordfish allowed to be caught at 90 centimetres (three feet).

A redistricting plan signed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) intentionally discriminated against Hispanic voters, a three-judge panel unanimously ruled Tuesday. The judges found that seats belonging to white incumbent members of Congress were protected under the plan while districts belonging to incumbent minorities were targeted for changes.
The court was "persuaded by the totality of the evidence that the plan was enacted with discriminatory intent," according to the ruling. There was "sufficient evidence to conclude that the Congressional Plan was motivated, at least in part, by discriminatory intent," the court found.
All three judges said they were overwhelmed with the amount of evidence showing the law was intentionally discriminatory, writing in a footnote that parties "have provided more evidence of discriminatory intent than we have space, or need, to address here."

Cyber Attacks Likely to Increase Experts Say
Experts believe nations, rogue groups, and malicious individuals will step up their assaults on communications networks, targeting institutions, financial services agencies, utilities, and consumers over the next decade.
Online Harassment
73% of adult internet users have seen someone be harassed in some way online and 40% have personally experienced it.
Killer Apps in the Gigabit Age
Experts foresee changes across all aspects of life as digital connectivity advances. They predict hyper-personalized interactions, 3D holograms, immersive virtual reality and a deepening dependency upon machines as we navigate our lives.
How Young Americans Engage With Libraries
Millennials are more likely than older adults to have used a library website in the past year and just as likely to have read a book, but they are among the least likely to say that libraries are important: just 19% say their library's closing would have a major impact on them.
Social Media and the 'Spiral of Silence'
Our case study found people were less likely to discuss the Snowden-NSA story on social media than they were in person. And if they thought their friends and followers disagreed with them, they were less likely to want to discuss the issue at all.
AI, Robotics, and the Future of Jobs
Experts anticipate that robotics and artificial intelligence will permeate wide segments of our work and daily lives by 2025, but they are divided on whether these advances will displace more jobs than they create.
Threats to the Internet Loom in Near Future
Tech experts hope the open structure of the internet will prevail in the coming decade. But they also fear threats to the internet's connectivity arising from efforts by nations to restrict content, increased surveillance, and commercialization of too much online activity.
The Internet of Things Will Thrive by 2025
Experts predict the rise of embedded and wearable computing will enhance our health, productivity, safety and access to information. But it will also bring challenges to personal privacy, over-hyped expectations and tech complexity that boggles us.
Heartbleed Bug Impacts Large Share of Internet Users
About four-in-ten (39%) internet users say that they took steps to protect their online accounts by changing passwords or canceling accounts. And 6% think their personal information was stolen.

" ... Body Scanners would NOT detect underwear bomb
by Staff Writers
Washington DC (SPX) May 11, 2012
" ... FlyersRights.org asks why the TSA continues to mislead the public about the efficacy of body scanners in detecting devices like the one reported to have been used in the most recent plot foiled just two weeks ago in Yemen.
The bomb, a refined version of the so-called underwear bomb used by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in his Christmas Day 2009 attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253, is now at the FBI crime laboratories in Quantico, Virginia.
"The salient question is whether or not the body scanners would have detected an underpants bomb; and the answer is, 'No'," said Kate Hanni, Founder and Executive Director of FlyersRights.org.
"If the scanners could have detected these low density explosives inside underpants, the TSA would be able to demonstrate this to the public, but they haven't done it. Either they haven't tested the equipment for this type of bomb, or if they have, they don't want us to know the results."
Noting that, after a recent intelligence briefing, Senator Dianne Feinstein reported that the device would have been "undetectable," Hanni continued, "Undetectable means just that. None of our current protocols at TSA checkpoints would have detected this bomb, and officials at DHS and TSA know it." ... More ...

Russia returned to Iran a prepayment that it received for S-300 surface-to-air missile systems , IRNA reported quoting Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi as saying.
Vahidi stated that the country also demands Russia to pay compensation due to the fact that it refused to deliver S-300 missiles to Iran.
Iran has appealed to the International Court of Arbitration over Russia's refusal to implement a contract for the supply of the S-300 systems to Iran in early September.
Rosoboronexport has turned out in a biggest financial loss over the last four years after returning a $167 million in prepayment to Iran for unfulfilled supply of S-300 air defense missile systems, Rosoboronexport Head Anatoliy Isaikin said in an interview with Kommersant Daily on Sept.22.

TEPCO: 900,000 Terabecquerels (Iodine Equivalence) Released into the Air from #Fukushima I Nuke Plant in March 2011
TEPCO has come up with the latest estimate of the radioactive materials released from Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, and it is higher than everyone else's, at 900,000 terabequerels (iodine-131 equivalence) for the month of March, 2011.
Iodine 131: 500,000 terabequerels
Cesium 134: 10,000 terabecquerels
Cesium 137: 10,000 terabequerels
To conform to the INES, TEPCO multiplied the amount of cesium 137 by 40 to get the iodine equivalence (10,000 x 40 = 400,000). However, TEPCO did not use cesium-134 so that the total number could be compared with the numbers from other institutions. .... " ... more ...

"You almost won't find a point in time where something isn't happening somewhere in the world," Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, the armed forces chief of staff, observed recently. "I'm escalating all those special operations."
He declined to give any details of the highly classified operations but declared 2012 would be a critical year in the confrontation with Iran over its contentious nuclear program.
That was in sharp contrast to a report in late March that Israel's foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, had cut back on covert activity inside Iran.
That included assassinations, sabotage and recruiting agents, all aimed at slowing down Iran's nuclear program, which Israel, the United States and most Western powers say is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons.
It wasn't clear why the Mossad, blamed for the assassination of at least four Iranian nuclear scientists, would scale down such high-priority operations.
Israel's hawkish prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have been pushing for pre-emptive strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities for some time.

" ... 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty
Sat May 26 , 2012 1:14PM
According to a recent survey, a record 49.1 million Americans (16 percent) are living below the federal poverty line. Considering the U.S. is one of the richest nations in the world, the results are sobering.
A family of four earning less than $23,050 per year is considered living in poverty.
According to the Salvation Army's "Perceptions of Poverty" survey, 38 percent of Americans report receiving some form of charitable assistance, including food from food banks or financial assistance/housing support; 63 percent who earn less than $25,000 per year report receiving assistance; and among Americans aging 35 to 54, 46 percent report having received assistance at some point in their lifetimes.
Thirteen percent of Americans report having spent a night in a shelter or on the street due to loss of housing and 26 percent who earn less than $25,000 per year report sleeping in a shelter or on the street.
The survey found that most Americans believe a helping hand is needed to escape poverty, but there is a significant minority with a definite animus toward the poor : They are poor because they are lazy; they have lower moral values; the poor will take advantage if given more assistance; and the poor just need a good work ethic to escape poverty, etc.
It follows, then, that the further one is away from poverty, the less likely that he or she accepts the reality of poverty ." ..... more ...

" ... Direct yen-yuan forex deal to start in June
The Yomiuri Shimbun
Japan and China will likely initiate a foreign exchange system in which the yen and the yuan can be directly exchanged starting in June at the earliest, sources have said.
The Japanese and Chinese governments have entered the final phase of negotiations to establish foreign exchange markets in Tokyo and Shanghai, and will likely reach an official agreement soon.
Currently the two countries' currencies are exchanged via the U.S. dollar and thus foreign exchange commissions are relatively high.
If the direct exchange system is realized, transaction commissions can be cut and the exchange procedure will be simpler. Some economists expect it will expand trade between Japan and China and make trade processing smoother.
The two governments agreed to establish the system in December last year when a Japan-China summit meeting was held in Beijing .... " ... more ....

Method to Delay Aging of Stem Cells Developed
TEHRAN (FNA)- Findings of a news study uncovered a series of biological events that implicate the stem cells' surroundings, known as their "niche," as the culprit in loss of stem cells due to aging.
Stem cells are essential building blocks for all organisms, from plants to humans. They can divide and renew themselves throughout life, differentiating into the specialized tissues needed during development, as well as cells necessary to repair adult tissue.
Therefore, they can be considered immortal, in that they recreate themselves and regenerate tissues throughout a person's lifetime, but that doesn't mean they don't age. They do, gradually losing their ability to effectively maintain tissues and organs.
The researchers' findings at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are published May 23rd in Nature and have implications for treatment of age-related diseases and for the effectiveness of regenerative medicine.
"The findings suggest, for example, that putting new or young stem cells into an old environment -- that of an aged patient -- might not lead to the best outcome in tissue regeneration," said the study's senior investigator, Leanne Jones, associate professor in Salk's Laboratory of Genetics. ,..." .. more ..

Neither the Wall Street Journal article below, or Reuters', mentions the exact numbers for radioactive cesium, but Japan's Kyodo News does:
Cesium-134: 4 Bq/kg
Cesium-137: 6.3 Bq/kg

.... On another front, U.S. infrastructure -- from the century-old pipes under the nation's capital, to roads and streets all over the United States, to the nationwide electric grid, bridges and schools -- has been sadly neglected for decades. Any recent visitor to Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Muscat (Oman), Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait saw clear evidence that the U.S. priority on defense spending over several decades has relegated many parts of the civilian infrastructure to Third World status.
After a spectacular victory in the Cold War, the United States blew a good chance for a new world economic and military order by inviting the newly freed Russia into NATO, rather than pushing NATO's frontiers up against Russia's and reviving old fears of encirclement.
This was first suggested by Cold War hawks -- e.g., the late Fred Ikle, undersecretary for Defense Policy under the Reagan administration - but it was too far sighted to be digestible inside the Beltway.

" .... Iran: 'Flame' virus fight began with oil attack
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Computer technicians battling to contain a complex virus last month resorted to the ultimate firewall measures — cutting off Internet links to Iran's Oil Ministry, rigs and the hub for nearly all the country's crude exports.
At the time, Iranian officials described it as a data-siphoning blitz on key oil networks.
On Wednesday, they gave it a name: A strike by the powerful "Flame" malware that experts this week have called a new and highly sophisticated program capable of hauling away computer files and even listening in on computer users.
Its origins remain a mystery, but international suspicion quickly fell on Israel opening another front in its suspected covert wars with archenemy Tehran.
"This virus penetrated some fields. One of them was the oil sector," said Gholam Reza Jalali, who heads an Iranian military unit in charge of fighting sabotage. "Fortunately, we detected and controlled this single incident."
The Flame virus — a mix of cyberspy and hard-drive burglar — has been detected across the Middle East recently. But Iran's linkage to the oil network attack in April could mark its first major infiltration and suggests a significant escalation in attempts to disrupt Iran's key commercial and nuclear sites. Iran is one of the world's leading oil producers.
Two years ago, a virus called Stuxnet tailored to disrupt Iran's nuclear centrifuges caused some setbacks within its uranium enrichment labs and infected an estimated 16,000 computers, Iranian officials say. At least two other smaller viruses have been detected in nuclear and industrial centers.
The Flame program, however, is widely considered as a technological leap in break-in programming. Some experts also see the same high level of engineering shared by Stuxnet, which many suspect was the work of Israeli intelligence.

" .... US troops imitate invasion of Iran with Arab allies
By: Lee Jae Won – Reuters (sent by Invictus) on: 31.05.2012
Around 12,000 troops from more than 19 nations are wrapping up a massive military training drill in the Middle East. But for some of those servicemen, these exercises might be just the beginning of something much bigger to come.
The United States, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are just a sampling of the many countries — along with European allies — that have been involved in the nearly month-long Eager Lion 2012 exercise expected to end this week.
Although much of the drills have been kept under wraps, it isn't a secret that these states have spent the last month cooperating together through mock combat drills and comprehensive training.
Some sources overseas report, however, that as many as 3,000 troops aligned with US forces have conducted a simulated landing and attack on Iran, preparing America and its allies for a war that becomes more likely by the day.
Intelligence sources speaking to Israel's Debka news agency report that US troops and other forces aligned with America recently staged a landing on a Jordanian beach that was immediately followed by a military seizure of fortified mountain bases and command posts.
The exercise was meant to emulate an attack on Iran and accompanies other drills that witnesses say show off just what America's foes face if they continue to put the heat on the United States and its pals abroad. .... more ... " .

Speaking at an annual security forum in Singapore, Panetta sought to dispel the notion that the shift in U.S. focus to Asia was designed to contain China's emergence as a global power.
He acknowledged differences between the world's two largest economies on a range of issues, including the South China Sea.

The very spacious terrace outside the lounge offers magnificent views across the bay. Eating breakfast here was a delight. We also made use of the excellent BBQ facility. The bedrooms are comfortable and all open onto the upper balcony. Security at the property is excellent. Only a short distance from the house is a gorgeous, safe swimming beach which is a great place to take a quick dip or spend a lazy day. Gail and Rene have provided huge amounts of information about the area and its attractions. Simon's Town has a great deal to offer any visitor. Make sure you visit and swim with the penguins at Boulders Beach. Delightful! Our pick of places to eat would include Bertha's, Mangata, The Salty Sea Dog and The Black Marlin.
From the moment we booked communications with Gail and Rene were very easy. Any questions were answered quickly. We recommend Felsensicht without reservation. Thanks also to Jim the Caretaker. Sadly our stay of a week was far too short.
We did spend a week during Easter 2010 in this wonderful house in Simons town. From the first contact during booking, the owner was very responsive and open to meet all our needs for information and help. The houses itself is wonderful, and contain everything we needed. The location is excellent, with a full view of the bay from all rooms and from the balconies. Only 5 minutes from the house there are a small sand beach, perfect for a morning or evening swim after exploring the cape. We can only recommend this place!!
We spent two weeks at Felsensicht in December 2009 - the week before our wedding, and the week after. The house has superb views of False Bay from every room and an fantastic living/ entertaining area and balcony, which was great as we had quite a few friends and family coming to see us and spend time with us around our wedding day. The house is very well equipped and beautifully furnished, with amazing attention to detail. The owners were also a pleasure to deal with. Our only constructive criticism is that the fridge is rather small for a house that sleeps six people. If you intend eating out all the time during your stay it isn't a problem, but if you like to cook and entertain, as we do, it is a bit of a challenge trying to find space for food and drinks for more than a day or two. Other than the fridge, Felsensicht is exactly the kind of holiday home we would love to own ourselves one day!
