Did you know?
The endangered Karkloof blue butterfly (Orachrysops ariadne) is the official symbol of the Midlands Meander.
The Midlands Meander cycle routes take riders through countryside that is often likened to England. The area is home to spectacular waterfalls such as the Karkloof and Howick Falls, nature sanctuaries such as Kamberg Nature Reserve and Amber Valley, as well hundreds of quirky art and craft outlets serviced by laid-back locals.
Cyclists can follow the R103 from Estcourt to Howick, which passes through towns such as Mooi River, Rosetta, Nottingham Road, Balgowan and Lidgetton. Various irresistible detours will present themselves along the way. From Howick, there are great routes to places like Karkloof - scene of one of South Africa's most popular cycling events: the Karkloof Classic Cycle Race.
There are a number of excellent country restaurants, farm stalls and specialty shops to visit along the way. Nottingham Road in particular features a cluster of explorer attractions, such as the legendary Nottingham Road Hotel and The Junction complex.
Further south, Balgowan is home to Michaelhouse, the school at which the film Spud, starring John Cleese, was set and filmed.
Beer drinkers should make a stop at the Nottingham Road Brewery, based at Rawdons Hotel in Balgowan to sample their famous collection, which includes a lager, an ale and a pilsner. Then there's the Bierfassl, a popular pub not far away, where a roaring fire burns in winter.
A monument marking the spot where former South African President Nelson Mandela was arrested, has been erected along the R103 near Tweedie, and is a popular photo location.
Midmar Dam, which is less than 10km from Howick, offers a number of relaxing cycling routes around the massive expanse of water.
Tour packages for cycling the Midlands Meander are available from operators such as Escape Cycle Tours, who can arrange bicycles, accommodation and transport to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Some of South Africa's top mountain bikers and downhill cyclists, such as Greg Minaar, Brandon Stewart, Rowan Exelby and Travis Browning, all grew up in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and they all agree that they were blessed to have had such a great location in which to hone their skills.

J-Up stays hot as Maholm, Braves two-hit Marlins
Upton triple shy of cycle, while lefty tosses seven frames of shutout
MIAMI -- Justin Upton is eventually going to go through consecutive games without a home run, and Paul Maholm is destined to surrender a run at some point. But the Braves have had some fun watching these two players look invincible during the first week of the season.
Upton continued to add to the splendor of his early-season success, as he highlighted a four-hit performance with his sixth home run of the season and provided a masterful Maholm all the support he needed in Monday night's 2-0 win over the Marlins at Marlins Park.
"I told [Upton] to just keep doing it when I pitch," Maholm said. "He's obviously one of the top players in the league. It's awesome that we were able to trade for him and get him in this lineup. It's fun to watch. Not having to face him, it's a lot better."
Craig Kimbrel stranded two runners in a rocky ninth inning that preserved a two-hit shutout and the contributions of Maholm, who surrendered one hit over seven scoreless innings. The veteran left-hander has not allowed a run in 12 2/3 innings through his first two starts.
"He's going out there and mixing his pitches well and getting outs," Upton said. "We have fun playing behind that, and that gives us confidence at the plate."
Confidence is certainly not an issue right now for Upton, who highlighted the eighth four-hit game of his career with a sixth-inning leadoff home run that was headed for downtown Miami before it hit a pole behind a 401-foot sign located beyond the left-field wall.
The solo shot gave Upton his sixth home run in just his 25th at-bat of the season. He hit his sixth home run last year on June 20, in his 228th at-bat of the season. Upton is the 10th player since 1916 to have at least six homers through his team's first seven games, and the only Braves player among this group of 10. Mike Schmidt tops the list, with seven in 1976. All of the others had six: Gabby Hartnett in 1925, Dolph Camilli in 1935, Willie Mays in 1964, Lou Brock in 1967, Ken Griffey, Jr. in 1997, Larry Walker in 1997, Luis Gonzalez in 2001 and Alex Rodriguez in 2007.
Upton has positioned himself to break the franchise record for homers (10) in April. It is currently shared by Andres Galarraga, who did it twice (1998 and 2000), and Ryan Klesko (1996).
"You definitely notice it," Upton said of his impressive early-season success. "You can't ignore it. But you've got to try to not get too high on it."
While hitting .423 with six home runs and a 1.192 slugging percentage through his first seven games with Atlanta, Upton has supported the belief that he is on a mission to prove the D-backs were wrong to give up on him and diligently attempt to trade him before dealing him to the Braves.
But Upton said he is just having fun with his new team, which has won six of this season's first seven games.
"You can't live like that," Upton said. "You can't live hoping other people fail. I'm just not that type of person. I'm with a new team now and I'm having fun. This is a great clubhouse and a great place to play. I'm just enjoying myself."
Upton finished a triple shy of the cycle and displayed some gritty hustle when he went from first base to third base on Evan Gattis' eighth-inning single.
Along with the monstrous homer he hit off Kevin Slowey in the sixth inning, Upton provided a pair of singles and a fourth-inning leadoff double that put him in position to score the game's first run on Dan Uggla's groundout.
Upton's first hit of the night -- a single in the first inning -- marked his eighth hit of the season, with all eight of those hits coming with two strikes. His next three hits all came with no more than one strike. Still, Upton's eight two-strike hits are the most in the Majors (the Indians Michael Bourn has seven).
"There are times you tip your hat and say, 'This guy is hitting really well,' and hope you don't have to face him in a key situation," Slowey said. "He did a wonderful job tonight."
With Upton providing all of the necessary damage on the offensive end, Maholm cruised through his seven scoreless innings with comfort. He issued two of his three walks to Giancarlo Stanton, and surrendered his only hit when Placido Polanco singled to center with two outs in the third inning.
After walking Stanton to put runners at first and second base in the third inning, Maholm retired 13 of the final 14 batters that he faced. The only blemish during this stretch came when he grazed Juan Pierre with a 0-2 fastball in the fifth inning.
"Obviously I'm going to eventually give up runs," Maholm said. "But I'm going to try to ride this as long as possible. Every time out, I'm going to try to do the same thing. I'm going to try to be aggressive, get some quick outs, mix speeds and get some ground balls. Some days it's going to work, and some days it's not."

STOURBRIDGE had to pull out all the stops to claim a 17-14 success at bottom of the table Sheffield Tigers to remain top of National Two North.
At one stage Stour were staring defeat in the face as they trailed 14-10 well into the second-half, but a late try from England Counties prop Mike George saved the day - write Nick Pullen.
Stour had just as much difficulty coping with the elements as they did with Sheffield.
Director of rugby Neil Mitchell said: "The conditions were horrific. "Their ground is situated on the edge of the Derbyshire moors and I must admit I've never seen weather quite like it.
"In addition, the officials were perplexing. The referee gave five penalties against us in the scrum during the first-half alone, for reasons I know not why.
"In fact I'm still waiting to hear from the referee now to understand some of the decisions he made.
"Consequently it was a fractured game where the ball hardly got beyond the scrum-half.
"I know I've been fairly critical of the side this season, but on this occasion, four points were quite acceptable, because I think five were almost unobtainable in the conditions."
Stour opted to play with both the weather conditions and slope in their favour for the first-half, but Sheffield belied their league position and showed plenty of steel as they led with two Liam Wallace penalties and a Pete Swatkins try.
Stour countered with two penalties of their own, both as a result of penalties being kicked into the corner and resulting line-out possession which saw atry for Nigel Mukarati and a debut score for promising forward Chris Depper.
Jamie Hearn was unable to land either conversion, hitting the upright on one occasion, before Sheffield struck back to regain the lead on the stroke of the interval half time with a Wallace drop goal that arrived shortly after Stour loosehead prop Mike Hill had been sin-binned.
However, Sheffield found themselves reduced to 13 at one stage in the second-half and Stour took full advantage.
Following a series of forward drives, George forced his way over for a try which Hearn converted.
Stour can expect another tough test this Saturday when they entertain Sedgley Park, one of the sides expected to challenge them for the title this season with centre Ben Barkley looks set to return to the back division.

For the parts that you want to get blurry, use washable markers.
For any parts you want to stay more crisp, use permanent markers.
When you color things in, it makes the rain art more fun because there is more ink to spread. But leave some of the paper without marker so the ink has a place to run.
Put rocks on the corners of your papers if there is any wind.
The rain will now splatter on your art, and start the ink running across the paper.
In a very light rain, it might take 15 minutes for the rain to do its work, but keep monitoring your art. If you like the effect after a few minutes, bring it back under cover.
As it dries, the ink may run a little bit more and the paper may be a bit crinkly. If you want your paper to be flat again, press it between large books after the paper is completely dry.
Can you see the difference between the parts you drew with permanent marker versus washable marker?

"The USAIGC has drawn the line in the stand," added Spadero. "We must do the most we possibly can to protect our student population by creating the safest environment possible for our children."
"I applaud the USAIGC's move to adopt the essential policies of Safe4Athletes," said Dominique Moceanu, herself an Olympic gold medal winning gymnast and author of recent New York Times best selling memoir Off Balance. "I firmly believe that it is the shared duty of parents, coaches, gym club owners, and governing bodies of sport to give our young athletes a positive learning atmosphere free from any type of abuse, without exception. Safe4Athletes has created the first comprehensive system of its kind to protect these young athletes -- and the USAIGC has made a tremendously positive move by adopting that system."

DETROIT - When you say "Girl Scouts," most people think cookies. They don't think of fixing up homes for the poor in the inner city.
But that's what four Girl Scouts from Northville have done: An extreme makeover for the extremely needy.
"I thought it was a nice way to give back for the ladies since they are trying to get their lives back on track," said Shannon.
Shannon, Olivia, Abigail and Claire came from the comforts of Northville to the stark reality of the Detroit Rescue Mission's Genesis House 2, a transitional housing project for women with children getting their lives back together.
"This isn't something that I had been exposed to," said Abby.
"It really opened my eyes to see that there was three people in the size of my bedroom space," Shannon said.
"It was humbling to see how they had to carry all of their belongings with them," said Olivia.
Working under the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan Program, the four teens had to draw up room designs, raise the money, recruit volunteers and do all the work in making over the living space.
The physical changes are obvious. The emotional ones may count for more.
"What did you think when you saw mom and her two year old twins living in a shelter?" asked Mitch Albom.
"I was very grateful coming from where I come from that I was able to help them out," said Claire.
These teenaged scouts truly changed the shelter's spaces into homey environments.
The girls said they never have worked that hard on their own rooms at home.
"No, and did your parents say to you, 'Oh fine, you can go build an entire room down at a shelter but I can't get your to make your own beds.'" Albom said as they laughed.
Today's young people are often perceived as self-absorbed, but Northville leads the nation in Gold Award Winners for service and nearly 40 percent of girls in Northville get involved in scouting.
"Yeah, I don't think you can ever outgrow Girl Scouts," said Shannon.
"You will be wearing this vest when you are 50 then?" asked Albom.
Shannon laughed, "Forever."
A lot more than cookies, these Northville Girl Scouts proved their Heart of Michigan Program well serves the Heart of Detroit.Heart of Detroit

HOUSTON - The teen at the center of one of the biggest scandals to rock the Houston Police Department has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment of undisclosed mental health issues, according to community activist Quanell X.
"He's now been admitted to get mental health counseling and treatment into a psychiatric facility," said Quanell.
Quanell said he helped Chad Holley get admitted to a psychiatric hospital in the Houston area late Tuesday evening.
Quanell provided the name of the facility to Local 2 Investigates to verify Holley's admission, but asked KPRC not to disclose the name of the facility for privacy reasons.
"He's not going home during the day, he's not hanging out with friends during the evening time," said Quanell.
"He's in a 24-hour a day, seven-day facility," Quanell said. Holley could be in this facility for up to 65 days depending on the diagnosis given by doctors and recommended treatment.
Quanell said it was not until after Holley's second arrest on burglary charges that he learned the 18-year-old had been prescribed "psychotropic medication."
Quanell said he also learned Holley had not been taking his medication.
"Had we known, in the activist community, what was really happening with Chad Holley we would have stepped in a long time ago," said Quanell, who added he still does not know exactly why Holley was prescribed medication.
"This will give him a clear cut diagnosis and to see at what stage his mental health issues are at this period," said Quanell.
Holley's name became known internationally in 2010 when a video surfaced showing what many characterize as a "beating" at the hands of several Houston police officers.
At that time, Holley was arrested and eventually convicted of burglary. However, many thought after that conviction Holley had turned his life around.
Earlier this month Holley and three other men were arrested and charged with burglarizing a house. Holley's arrest came weeks after his high school graduation.
The case against Holley and the other men is still pending trial. "What he did the second time around was a slap in the face to many of us," said Quanell. "He let the entire community down. He let the activist community down. He let the city down. He let those who prayed for him down."
Despite those harsh words, Quanell said he still believes Holley needs help and psychiatric treatment to get his life back on track.
Several Houston police officers were disciplined and fired over the 2010 incident.
Former police officer Andrew Blomberg was found not guilty last month of charges of official oppression.
Three other former police officer are still awaiting trial.

The European Federation of Psychologists' Associations (EFPA) is the federation of national psychology associations that are located in the European Economic Area. Currently, there are 32 member associations of EFPA, which together represent over 200,000 psychologists. EFPA is recognised by the Council of Europe of 42 European countries as an International Non Governmental Organisation.
EFPA and its member associations are concerned with promoting and improving psychology as a profession and as a discipline, particularly, though not exclusively, in applied settings and with emphasis on the training and research associated with such practice. The Federation has as one of its goals the integration of practice with research and the promotion of an integrated discipline of psychology. The official journal of EFPA is the European Psychologist.
EFPA was founded in Germany in 1981, when representatives of 12 national psychology associations signed the Statutes. The first General Assembly (G.A.) was held in Heidelberg in 1981. Since that time General Assemblies have been held every two years: 1982 Edinburgh, 1984 Vienna, 1986 Lausanne, 1988 Rome, 1990 Luxembourg, 1991 (Extraordinary G.A.) Budapest, 1992 Brussels, 1993 Tampere, 1995 Athens, 1997 Dublin, 1999 Rome, 2001 in London, 2003 in Vienna, 2005 in Granada. The EFPA General Assembly is now held in conjunction with the biennial European Congress of Psychology and will be held in Prague in 2007.

Amid Sinking Market Share RIM Bets Big on New BlackBerry OS
Jason Mick
October 18, 2011 2:42 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
BB OS is out, BBX is in
Recent reports from market research firms have revealed that Waterloo, Ontario based Canadian smartphone maker Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) is
losing customers
not only on a percentage basis, but also on a per unit basis in the U.S. Adding to the company's woes, it recently experienced
a major international outage
that left BlackBerry users without email or messaging service.
But the company had some good news to announce, this week
airing "BBX"
, its next generation BlackBerry operating system, at its
keynote address. The new operating system supports both native and web apps.
On the web app side, there's built in support for Android Java applications, much like
the RIM Playbook
. This is critical as it gives new BlackBerries access to literally hundreds of thousands of new apps. HTML5 web apps are also fully supported.
On the native apps side, there's a new Native SDK. There's a new GUI SDK -- Cascade UI with support for 3D animations and more. RIM is offering support for 100 commonly used open source libraries, including the popular multithreading library POSIX. And for native apps RIM is also adding new deep integration to the company's push and BlackBerry Mail (BBM) services.
RIM President and Co-CEO.Mike Lazaridis was on hand to announce BBX
[Source: RIM]
Adobe Inc.'s (
) Flash and Air apps are fully supported.
The new operating system will be available on new BlackBerries and will be available as an OS upgrade for the PlayBook and future tablets. An early build is available via the "BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 Developer Beta."
The base code of the operating system comes from QNX, the OS currently used in the RIM PlayBook, but borrows literally from RIM's own BlackBerry OS. QNX was first released in 1982 by a fellow Waterloo firm, and was purchased in 2004 by Harman International Industries (
). Then in 2010 RIM scooped up the OS-maker, reaching an agreement to buy it from Harman.
The new OS will be installed on both RIM's tablets and its BlackBerry smartphones.
[Source: Berry Review]
Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM, cheered the fruit of that acquisition, stating, "With nearly 5 million BlackBerry apps downloaded daily, our customers have made BlackBerry one of the most profitable platforms for developers. At DevCon today, we're giving developers the tools they need to build richer applications and we're providing direction on how to best develop their smartphone and tablet apps as the BlackBerry and QNX platforms converge into our next generation BBX platform."
Some employees and investors have recently expressed skepticism [
] about the leadership at RIM. Nonetheless, with
increasingly attractive hardware
, and a reinvigorated OS effort, RIM just may have what it takes to pull off a turnaround.
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

Liriano strong but bats can't rally late
Harrison extends hitting streak to 13 games with two-hit night
PITTSBURGH -- Clint Hurdle thought it was pretty unusual and quite wonderful Friday night when the Pirates led 2-1 after the first inning -- and that endured as the final of the victory over San Diego.
The Buccos manager had to think it was even more unusual, but far less wonderful, when the exact same oddity -- different result -- occurred Saturday night.
The Padres scored two in the first before Francisco Liriano barred their way on base, Eric Stults gave back only one of the runs in the bottom of the first -- and the Friars emerged with a 2-1 win in front of another PNC Park sellout of 38,614.
"I don't think I've ever been in a position where [it's] 2-1 after one last night and 2-1 after one tonight and they both finished that way," Hurdle said after the Padres had confirmed his pre-series impression of them. "We knew they could pitch coming in. One-run games both nights. We had opportunities to tie or go ahead, we just didn't cash in."
A night of missed opportunities came into maddening focus in the eighth, against Kevin Quackenbush. Jordy Mercer led off with a single, then Russell Martin doubled off the Clemente Wall.
The needle on the frustration meter began wobbling immediately.
San Diego right fielder Jeff Francoeur, after gloving the ball off the wall at an awkward angle, did a face-plant while throwing it back to the infield -- with the ball thus doing a slow dribble to the cutoff man.
Third-base coach Nick Leyva had already flashed the stop sign to Mercer -- who might have been able to score the tying run given Francoeur's flop.
"He did what?" Mercer said, surprised. "I had no idea. I can only look at Nick -- and we had to hold up. Francoeur has a fantastic arm. And, anyway, I'd think we'd take men-on-second-and-third, none out."
Cue the frustration meter, again. Ike Davis, pinch-hitting, barreled-up a ball that seemed headed into the right-center gap -- but when his bat cracked, it only made it as far as Gyorko's glove at second.
"Over the right fielder's head," Davis said, when asked how far that ball would have gone had his bat not cracked. "If I'd only hit it a little higher, we win that game. But that's the way the cookie crumbles."
That was still only one out. Starling Marte's strikeout and Gregory Polanco's fly to right made it three.
"We weren't able to make good outs and didn't get a hit," Hurdle said, curtly. "Nothing happened for us that we needed to happen for us."
So it became a strange pill to swallow for Liriano, who technically pitched seven no-hit innings after allowing three hits before there was an out in the first, which set up the two early runs.
The first four to face Liriano reached -- and there would be two outs in the seventh before another San Diego runner got on base. Everth Cabrera singled to first a dozen feet off the bag and stole second before stopping at third on Yangervis Solarte's single, and a breaking pitch bounced off Tommy Medica's rear foot to load the bases.
Jedd Gyorko singled for a run, and the bases were still loaded after Chris Nelson bounced into a force at home. The Padres made it 2-0 on a Yasmani Grandal sacrifice fly to right that became a double play when Polanco's strong throw caught Nelson between bases.
And Liriano kept mowing 'em down. He retired 19 straight batters until issuing a two-out walk in the seventh to Grandal -- who was promptly erased on Francoeur's inning-ending force. Liriano was done one out later, having gone seven innings; in addition to the two runs and three hits, he walked one and fanned four.
The 2013 Comeback Player of the Year is on a pretty good in-season 2014 comeback. He sports an ERA of 1.68 in five starts since the All-Star break and, in a bigger sample size, has allowed more than two earned runs only once in his last nine starts.
"He's done it before," Hurdle said of his 2013 ace. "It's not like all of a sudden we're seeing something we hadn't seen before. He's finding his rhythm, he's got confidence out there, repeating the delivery. His fastball command, really is again, getting back to what it was last year."
However, the only run of support the Bucs could provide against Stults was on Martin's RBI single to score Josh Harrison, who had led off with the first of his two singles and stole his way into scoring position.
"I was throwing the backdoor slider tonight and they were sort of giving up on it," said Stults, who went 6 1/3 innings, allowed seven hits but no walks, and struck out six. "I don't know if they weren't picking up on it or not."
Harrison's hits extended his streak to 13 games, the longest of the season by a Pirates player.
In defeat, Liriano sustained a couple of impressive streaks by Pittsburgh's starting pitchers: They have gone seven innings in each of the five games of this current homestand and, counting the last two road games, have combined for an ERA of 1.91 in the last seven games.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 7, 2013
For the first time, two terrorist organizations, al Qaeda and Hizballah, have acquired unconventional arms. Al Qaeda and affiliates are in position for bio-chemical strikes from Syria on five Middle East countries.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 6, 2013
When Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak met US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon Tuesday, March 5, he heard for the first time in years American criticism of the Israeli army for under-reacting – in this case to the chemical weapons threat emanating from Syria. Israel was also berated for under-estimating this menace and failing to take into account the likely need to send troops into Syria. Barak received official US confirmation that chemical weapons had reached HIzballah.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 2, 2013
debkafile reports: The collapse of Bashar Assad's defense lines on the Israeli and Jordanian borders has left a large Syrian expanse of no-man's land and generated a new strategic situation of major import for both Israel and Jordan. Defense Minister Ehud Barak hopes to align positions with the US on this matter when he meets Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon next Tuesday. Most observers doubt this outcome, given the Obama administration's decision to pass the Syrian question to Moscow.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 3, 2013
After talks with Iran's security director Saeed Jalili, Bashar Assad said Sunday, Feb. 3 that Syria was able to confront "current threats... and aggression." debkafile: They discussed activating the secret mutual defense pact binding Iran, Syria and Hizballah in retaliation for Israel's reported attack on a Syrian military complex. They took into account a harsh Israeli counter-response in the light of Defense Minister Ehud Barak's tough warning in Munich that Assad's fall was imminent and would be a major blow for Iran and Hizballah.
DEBKAfile Special Report November 26, 2012
Monday, Nov. 26, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he was quitting political life after 47 years but staying in defense until the January 22, 2013 general election. debkafile: His action ties in closely with President Barack Obama's decision to embark on direct US-Iranian nuclear talks and his plans to bring Tehran to the table in a more amenable frame of mind. The Gaza operation was part of those plans. Should a major war erupt meanwhile and force a delay in voting, Barak would still be at his post.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report November 9, 2012
Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu kicks off his campaign for reelection in the January election on the wrong foot having played the losing horse in the US presidential election.
DEBKAfile Special Report November 4, 2012
Sources in Tehran put out word Sunday, Nov, 4, that Iran had suddenly suspended 20-percent uranium enrichment. An Iranian lawmaker called it a "goodwill" gesture ahead of a new round of talks with the US directly after the presidential election. Two days before the vote, Tehran is transparently throwing its weight behind Obama by suggesting to the American voter that he can solve the nuclear crisis without resorting to war and is Iran's preferred partner for talks.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis October 3, 2012
Less than a week after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu struck Iran with a red marker, the dire Iranian nuclear threat is thrust aside in Israel by an acute case election fever. debkafile: None of the politicians citing Feb. 13, 2013 as the date of an early election is privy to the prime minister's carefully calculated agenda. Will that date see a poll followed by messy cabinet-building, or presage a decisive step for preempting Iran's advance to the threshold of a nuclear bomb? And what other surprises are in store?
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis September 22, 2012
Not all the Israeli units taking part in a major military exercise on the Syrian-Lebanese borders on Sept 19 returned to base after Iran airlifted elite al Qods fighting strength and weapons into Syria and Lebanon. An estimated two IDF divisions are in place in case Syria and Hizballah with Iranian reinforcements go on the offensive against Israel. The Iranian buildup continues. US intelligence sources have since accused Iran of "secretly transporting to Assad large quantities of weapons and military personnel by civilian aircraft - almost daily."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 24, 2012
Obama shuns advice to stay Israel's hand against attacking Iran by offering a solemn pledge of a US strike or by presenting Tehran with a credible US threat. US-Israeli dialogue is going around in circles.
DEBKAfile DEBKA Weekly August 14, 2012
Barack Obama's quarrel with Binyamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak is becoming more intense and personal the closer Israel comes to attacking Iran's nuclear program before the US Nov. 6 vote. Read the coming DEBKA-Net-Weekly out next Friday, and find out how that feud fires up certain opposition political circles at home and fuels their virulent campaign to tie the Netanyahu government's hands and so push it out of office.

DEBKAfile Special Report August 9, 2012
In a radio interview Thursday, Aug. 9, Defense Minister Ehud Barak stoutly refuted reported disagreements between the US and Israel, and himself and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over a military attack on Iran's nuclear program. Both see eye to eye on the matter, he said, as do US and Israeli intelligence evaluations. "A nuclear Iran is taking shape before our eyes" Barak stressed, and new US intelligence findings make a decision on a possible attack "extremely urgent."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis July 26, 2012
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz are rightly using a necessary austerity package as a lever for getting the country on track for a war economy, without saying so. They avoid discussing the consequences and duration of the new measures because they can't tell how long a war, which they believe may be close, will last or how it will end. debkafile estimates that they are quietly building a $25-30 strategic financial reserve for the worst-case scenario.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 28, 2012
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has often before exploited his many medical problems for manipulation. Although "enjoying" ill health, he is very much in control of affairs of state in the Islamic Republic, although a crop of would-be successors are waiting in the wings for him to go. The radicals have a profound interest in keeping Iran's nuclear program, his pet project, afloat after he is gone, and are exploiting gossip about his ill health to speed matters up.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 8, 2012
Not all is dandy in the cyber war collaboration between the US and Israel. Since Stuxnet, Iran has made strides in its cyber war capabilities and attained a level largely unknown to Western intelligence.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 1, 2012
Why did Netanyahu and Barak agree to subscribe to Obama's latest game plan for Iran and again delay a strike on its nuclear facilities? They were promised that harsher sanctions would be imposed against Iran, even in the course of negotiations.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 24, 2012
Israel has withdrawn its pledge to US President Barack Obama not to strike Iran's nuclear sites before the November presidential election after he rejected its minimal demands for the nuclear negotiations with Iran. This is reported exclusively by debkafile as the Six-Power talks with Iran in Baghdad drag into a second day on Thursday, May 24. Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Wednesday: "No one has to tell us what to do [or not to do]. All options are on the table."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 23, 2012
Russia is preparing a surprise proposal for the resumed P5+1 powers nuclear negotiations with Iran in Baghdad Wednesday, May 23, debkafile reports exclusively. By tabling an independent plan, Moscow would break ranks with the "unified front on Iran" declared by US President Barack Obama at the G8 summit Saturday and enhance Iran's bargaining position.
DEBKAfile Special Report May 17, 2012
Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Thursday 17, that a nuclear Iran would change the whole Middle East landscape and "we must do something to block" what he called "a catastrophe." The impending agreement would permit Iran "to deceive the world" and continuing building a nuclear bomb. Western diplomatic sources disclose that Iran has moved this process forward by starting in mid-negotiations to instal new centrifuge cascades at Fordo to double or triple near-weapons grade enriched uranium production.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 11, 2012
Binyamin Netanyahu, freed from the shackles of an election campaign, is more empowered by his new expanded coalition tackling Iran's nuclear threat by military measures. The Obama administration must think up new devices for holding him down.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Uncyclopedia to be preserved in the Library of Congress
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit UnNews:Uncyclopedia to be preserved in the Library of Congress
First UnNews I've written-which seems to have gained some attention, but I'd still like some feedback from someone else on what I can improve. Murder Frog ✄ I use the scissors. 23:19, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
|This article, since it mentions Uncyclopedia, falls into the category of inside joke, or, at best meta humor. Is this based on a real news article about the Library of Congress preserving an internet website. If so, it should list links in the sources. The sources not only make the article look like legitimate news, but give links in case the reader is unaware of what is being parodied. Since you are using {{original}} in your article, I will assume that his article is based on nothing.
As a general rule, it is best to avoid metahumor. In unNews, there is a "Wikipedia exception." For example, is Wikipedia does XYZ, and it is a "real world" notable event, you could write a "Uncyclopedia does XYZ"
The article has a bombastic tone. All the established users know full well that Uncyclopedia is a relatively mild site compared to ED or 4chan. Jokes about Uncyclopedia being hardcore isn't funny, because we know we aren't hardcore.
|Prose and Formatting:
|This article is written as a standard unNews. I don't see any major problems, but I do see some small errors.
You have a red link to "D.C." I assume you slavishly followed the formatting template. The correct usage would be to use Washington, D.C. USA or Washington, D.C.. Also, Washington should not be capitalized.
You also have a lack of categories on the page. All the categories you do have were auto-generated. To find appropriate categories, go to a similar article, and look for categories that could go on your page.
The first word after a quotation mark is always capitalized.
In the last paragraph, you have the word "says." I assume this is a typo, as it is the only tense shift in the article. It should say "said," as quoting is almost always in the past tense.
|The image is appropriate, but too small. I tried enlarging the thumbnail, but the thumbnail can be no larger than the image itself. As a rule, I would advise against enlarging thumbnails, but if an image is wide, it can look small, especially if it is the only image on the page.
Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons are good sources for images. Additionally, most of the images there are in the creative commons, which removes the off chance of DMCA takedown notice. Also, probably document any image, giving proper attribution if needed. If you do need to use "fair use claim" images, try to use images that are already spammed over the internet. If you take an image from deviantArt, the artist might have a hissyfit.
|The writing isn't horrible, but there is nothing particularly funny. The tone is close to good "deadpan," aka is written like a real news article, not a scattershot rambling. However, your writing style does get "choppy" in places. Here is example:
The phrase "as part of the government" is too vague. It almost sounds like what a 10 year trying to sound important would write. Instead, "as the library of Congress" or "as America's library of last resort." There is a reason the Library of Congress, instead of the Coast Guard, would be preserving uncycopedia.
You also contradict yourself by calling uncyclopedia an "incredible database" but saying "it is also our duty to preserve the bad as well as the good." Self-contradiction is not funny, but only confuses the reader, or makes the article look scattershot.
I get the feeling that you are trying to in a consistent style, but aren't quite pulling it off. Maybe you weren't really trying to be consistent in tone. I really can't tell someone's writing style from an UnNews.
|Improvability Score:
|This article isn't really bad, but there isn't any potential here. Unless it is based on actual news, I would see little point in trying to fix it. My theory on metahumor is that if it doesn't almost write itself, its not funny.
|Final Score:
|Please direct all comments to my talk page, as my watch-list is ridiculously long. Also, you may want to delete your pee review request at the fork.

HUMBLE, Texas - Family and friends of a missing woman gathered Sunday night for a candlelight vigil, hours after a body was found.
Amber Elkins, 20, was last seen alive on July 24. Her vehicle was found abandoned on Tuesday, and a lot of blood was inside it.
Texas EquuSearch volunteers discovered the body in an area along Gene Campbell Road near F.M. 1314 in Montgomery County.
The body hasn't been positively identified yet and an autopsy is being performed to determine a cause of death, but Tim Miller, the founder of EquuSearch, said the body is that of a woman.
"It was dumped in an isolated area," said Miller.
Miller said his team was searching the area after receiving some information from detectives. Their focus was on the woods near some cell towers.
"So, we just had our people out there, just concentrating on areas around these cell towers that we had information on," said Miller.
Elkins' father, Mike Elkins, flew in from Georgia on Friday to help in the search. At the vigil, he told everyone his daughter was an angel.
"She always felt sorry for the less fortunate, and I really believe that's what caused this," Mike Elkins said.
Mike Elkins said his daughter got involved with James David Clarke, and he believes Clarke took advantage of her.
Clarke was arrested Saturday and charged with murder.
"I'm doing everything and praying to forgive him," Mike Elkins said. "Not for him, for me."
The man who found Amber Elkins' vehicle on Homestead Road, Tommy Johnson, called sheriff's deputies because he noticed the front passenger window was broken out and there was a lot of blood inside.
"Her purse and stuff like that was thrown all over the place," said Johnson. "Blood was on the seat, the console, the shifters and on the sides of the driver seat."
Elkins' family said they feared the worst from the very beginning because Amber would never go that long without letting someone know where she was.
Family members said Elkins had a 9-month-old daughter whom she loved very much.
The baby is with her father, Frank Ferrata, who told reporters he and Amber lived together in Midway, Texas, and that she moved back to Humble about a month ago.
Elkins' mother said her daughter had been involved with Clarke for about a month.
Investigators said Clarke has a criminal history that includes arrests on charges of robbery, car theft, assault and drugs. He is due in court on Monday.

Look for ones with a chemical called DEET—most people agree that these work best. For kids, repellents with smaller amounts of DEET are a good idea. You can also spray the outside of your clothes with a repellent containing the chemical permethrin. If you prefer a non-chemical product, use ones containing oil of lemon eucalyptus. Be sure to follow the directions on any product that you use and don't let young kids apply it on themselves.
Eating garlic or other foods or taking certain Vitamin B don't work! Skip them.
Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing that covers your arms and legs. Dark and bright colors both seem to attract mosquitoes. So wear the most boring clothing you have—such as gray, khaki, white, beige, or olive green.
If you're planning to go outside, avoid using perfume, shampoo, soap, or lotions with a strong scent. Skeeters seem to be attracted to these.
Go in when the skeeters are out. Mosquitoes are more common as the sun is going down and at night. So you might want to stay indoors then.
Go where the skeeters aren't. Mosquitoes like heat, humidity, and still air. That's why you'll run into more skeeters in a swamp or damp forest than you will in an open field or windy hilltop.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. So have your family get rid of—or frequently dump out—anything that can hold standing water, such as old tires, buckets, flower pots, and plastic wading pools. And don't forget to regularly add new water to birdbaths.

Walter Manning is the man behind one of my favourite tumblrs, Old Chum. He has gained a massive following online and now he has opened a shop here in Vancouver, Old Faithful. It is a total blessing to our city. I met up with him a couple weeks ago to ask him a few questions.
Jeff Hamada: I thought we could start off by letting everyone know about your amazing little tumblr, Old Chum. What's the story behind the "Chumblr" and how did you come up with the name?
Walter Manning: I was walking around the new Convention Center in Vancouver and they just put up all these placards about the history of British Columbia. I remember just reading every one of them as I walked around and how impressed I was with the raw initiative that went in to the development of the province: conquering the landscape, building infrastructure, hiking supplies to logging camps and felling giant firs. These were ordinary people who did extraordinary things.
I came across one placard of a picture of some men hiking supplies through the rugged landscape. One of the men had a crate on his back and on the side was inscribed "Old Chum", a Canadian tobacco company, and it all fell into place for me and Old Chum was born. The name summed up what I wanted a blog to be.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2013 (1571 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Lindor Reynolds, a columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press, has won a National Newspaper Award.
Reynolds took home the nation's top newspaper honours in the Short Features category for her story on a Scanterbury resident who built a large, red chair in honour of the community's ditch-wavers.
"The National Newspaper Awards are a celebration of the best in Canadian journalism," said Free Press editor Paul Samyn.
"I am honoured that the work of Lindor Reynolds has been chosen as the best in Canadian journalism. While Lindor was the NNA winner, I believe our readers are also winners because they are able to see her work in their Free Press every day."
Another Free Press reporter, Mary Agnes Welch, and two Free Press photographers, Phil Hossack and Melissa Tait, also received citations of merit as finalists at the awards ceremony at Ottawa's Canadian War Museum on Friday night.
Welch, who is currently on leave on a William Southam Journalism Fellowship, was nominated for the third time under the category of Beat Reporting for her public-policy coverage. Her stories looked at banks abandoning the inner city, pesticide use, bad roads, the Ebb and Flow First Nation and the tale of Manitoba's sturgeon.
Hossack and Tait, a multimedia editor, were nominated under the Multimedia Feature category for their portrait of an international humanitarian mission.
Hossack travelled to Nicaragua with a team of doctors, nurses and physiotherapists from Concordia Hospital to chronicle them in photographs performing 49 knee replacements, while Tait edited the video.
"To have had our journalists as finalists is not only a huge honour but also recognition of what we produce each and every day for our readers," said Samyn.
Reynolds, Welch, Hossack and Tait were among 72 finalists in 22 categories. There were 1,430 entries this year.

For a while, chandelier earrings were all the rage. And then we were seeing long, straight drops. But the hoop seems to be back and bigger than ever — literally. Take a cue from Jennifer Hudson, above, and go big even during day. Jennifer chose a diamond-studded version for her appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly and I think they add the perfect amount of sparkle to an ensemble with girly touches like pintucks and ruffles.
Oversized might be an understatement for someone like Rihanna, who is never afraid to wear bold accessories. She often chooses major hoops and accentuates them by wearing her hair pulled to one side.
Finally, Olivia Munn wears them with a casual, NYC-street savvy outfit. Her platforms, jeans and t-shirt feel finished with the addition of large silver hoops.
Here's a great selection of hoops to choose from — whether you want gemstone studded or warm yellow gold. We even have a perfect pair of diamond hoops (at 50% off) that might not have you singing like Jennifer Hudson, but you will definitely sparkle just as bright.

A record number of companies are rated according to their LGBT-related employment policies in this year's Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign, which was released Monday. Unlike in previous years, HRC has issued "unofficial" ratings for companies that didn't respond to its survey. These unofficial ratings are based on publicly available information and information submitted to HRC by unofficial LGBT employee groups or individual employees. As a result, the CEI seems to present a more accurate portrait of workplace equality, because companies that know they'll score well are more inclined to respond to HRC's survey, and vice versa.
In North Texas, for example, a total of five companies now receive the lowest possible score of zero from HRC, meaning they don't provide even the most basic protections, such as a nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation. North Texas-based companies that received a zero in this year's CEI are ExxonMobil Corp. of Irving, Commercial Metals of Irving, Crosstex Energy Inc. of Dallas, Energy Transfer Partners of Dallas and Holly Corp. of Dallas.
Other notably low unofficial scores were given to Dallas-based Blockbuster (45), Plano-based Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (15) and Fort Worth-based developer DR Horton Inc. (30).
Also of note, HRC docked Target, Best Buy and 3M 15 points each "for failing to respond to requests to take corrective actions following their sizable contributions to MN Forward, a political committee supporting the election of an anti-gay candidate for governor of Minnesota."
Below is a full list of HRC-rated companies based in North Texas this year (companies are based in Dallas unless otherwise noted, unofficial scores shaded gray):

Alicia Keys Addresses 'Homewrecker' Rumors
Alicia Keys was branded with the scarlet "H" — the none-too-coveted "homewrecker" title — when she and Swizz Beatz made their relationship public, because Swizz was still legally married at the time. And now she's speaking out about the rumors.
The 'Girl on Fire,' who stuns on the cover in short curls, natural makeup and a strapless white dress, singer told Jet magazine (via Miss Jia) that the label isn't only unfair, but also unwarranted. "[They] were apart for some time before we ever got together," Keys said in the Nov. 26 issue. "That doesn't matter to those who take pleasure in trying to knock others down, there's no need to fight what's not true." Amen, Alicia!
Keys, who is typically quite private about her personal life, opened up about her marriage to Beatz and why they make such a good pair. "I'd never met a person where I could be fully myself," Keys said. "Swizz and I live in each other's shadow. So we can occupy the same space and there is nothing but equality. There's something really powerful about that."
Keys and Beatz are parents to two-year-old son Egypt and recently purchased a swanky pad from none other than actor Eddie Murphy. Despite whatever was going on between Beatz and his previous wife, Mashonda, the pair currently look like a picture perfect unit to us.

The 25 trillion or so small red cells in the human body never cease carrying their loads. These cells, known as erythrocytes, travel all through the body inside the veins and arteries, carrying oxygen or carbon dioxide. However, these cells need a special structure in order to be able to carry a substance. For example, for a cell to carry oxygen, the most ideal shape for it is to be flat. This increases the cell's surface area and facilitates contact with the oxygen molecules.
Indeed, the shape of the erythrocyte is reminiscent of a round, flat cushion, whose shape permits the greatest possible surface contact with the oxygen atom.
Under normal circumstances, some 2.5 million erythrocytes are produced in the body every second. It's vitally important that the number of erythrocytes be regulated. A rise in their number for whatever reason—a reduction in body temperature, for instance—can lead to serious problems. When there is an excessive drop in body temperature the number of erythrocytes remains the same, although the blood fluid decreases. The viscosity of the blood is reduced, as the number of erythrocytes increases in terms of units per volume. This can lead to congestion in the veins, obliging the heart to work harder. It's therefore of vital importance for the number of erythrocytes to be regulated.
It is not enough for the body's transportation system for red blood cells to be flat. Erythrocytes that carry oxygen would be pointless if they could not offer it to the cells in a usable manner. The cells of the body require molecules to bind oxygen to them—molecules that must combine with the oxygen in the ideal manner, in a three-dimensional form, and carry the oxygen safely. However, they must not bind too tightly to the oxygen, and when they arrive at the cell to which they will release the oxygen, they must separate from it with no difficulty. In short, in order for the oxygen to be transported and used where necessary, a very special molecule with a most particular creation is needed. That molecule is hemoglobin, which gives the erythrocyte—and thus, the blood itself—its red color.
Since hemoglobin performs two entirely separate functions, it has been described as an extraordinary molecule.
As hemoglobin deposits carbon dioxide in the lungs, it takes up oxygen and moves from there to the muscles, which oxidize nutrients and produce carbon dioxide. When the hemoglobin reaches the muscles, it carries out a reverse procedure, depositing oxygen and taking up carbon dioxide—all in a seemingly conscious and disciplined manner.
The wisdom in the Erythrocyte's shape
As already stated, the erythrocyte cell is shaped like a flat, round cushion. That ideal shape increases the cell's surface area and facilitates contact with oxygen. In the event that this shape is deformed, exceedingly serious diseases result. In sickle cell anemia, the erythrocytes contain an abnormal form of hemoglobin known as hemoglobin S. When deprived of oxygen, this hemoglobin breaks down into elongated crystals within the erythrocyte, which crystals lengthen the cell, giving it a sickle-like shape. Since the erythrocytes have assumed a crescent-like form, the passage of oxygen from the blood to the tissues is made more difficult. This leads to an oxygen deficiency and increased production of sickle-shaped red cells. The condition can reach fatal proportions within a few hours.
Apart from such diseases, the shape of the erythrocyte is the same in everyone. Thanks to that shape, they can easily carry oxygen to wherever it's needed. The fact that the erythrocytes are round and flat in everyone who has ever lived, or will live in future, can never be explained in terms of coincidences. Allah has perfect knowledge of all, and sets out and arranges everything down to the very finest detail. Great is the glory of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Inclusivity for the win!
Last week was an exciting time for those advocating for equality and in support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ) community. Recent supreme court decisions have reflected an important step for LGBTQ rights, and there is still a long road ahead.
NSVRC and our partners at the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape recently made a video celebrating inclusivity and honoring the LGBTQ community in our work. A very brilliant member of our team did a great job of capturing how essential inclusivity is to our work in the statement: "Ending sexual violence is truly connected to ending all oppression and inequality."
Yes, all oppression is connected, and ending rape culture means creating a culture of healthy sexuality. There are some beautiful intersections between inclusivity, healthy sexuality and social change. Healthy sexuality affirms of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and ways of expression. Healthy sexuality challenges gender norms that play into unequal roles, stereotypes and bulling. Healthy sexuality affirms diverse modes of expression and being rather than defining a norm.
This vision for change excites me, and the recent supreme court decision supporting LGBTQ rights reminds me that, although it may seem slow, change does happen. Even in my brief lifetime there have been milestones on the road to social justice and more doors have opened. Just as it is invaluable for to us to celebrate these successes in the landscape of social change, it's important that we don't forget the doors that are still closed and the many real barriers in our society even as it progresses. In this same span of time, supreme court rulings have also limited tribal soveriegnty and voting rights for people of color. The are still too many barriers tied to individuals and communities because of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language, level of ability, income, age and many other axes of oppression.
These conversations about widening the circle of inclusion in our work are powerful and challenging, but it's our only route to the "ending ALL oppression" piece in our vision for a future free from sexual violence. It has me wondering how you go about including and affirming diverse voices? How do you challenge oppression or privilege in your work? How are you an ally to communities and individuals who face barriers? How would you like to see your community or voice supported by others?
This work is happening in our movement and world, and we need to be discussing, sharing and promoting these efforts. In keeping with this line of thought, I wanted to share information about a report NSVRC is releasing this week. The release of the community needs assessment report marks an exciting time in our movement's work to better support Latin@ and culturally specific communities. The report details advocates' needs related to sexual violence in Latin@ communities and discusses the barriers often faced by Latin@ survivors and organizations who serve them. If you are working in the anti-sexual violence movement and believe that working to end all oppression is in your job description this tool is a great resource to learn more about broadening our work.
Share your vision for greater inclusivity in sexual violence prevention work in a comment below. What do you think is a barrier that needs to be addressed?

Thanks to Adam for notifying me about this. Rest in peace to the fallen and my heart goes out to the friends and family of these men. I am not sure what actions these men did during the assault, because by law, they could not be armed. Either way, they died in defense of their client.

Former soldier who went down fighting off kidnappers was first Briton to die
A Gulf War veteran who was the first Briton to be killed in the hostage massacre "went down fighting" as he tried to repel the kidnappers, according to friends.
Gordon Rayner and Rosa Silverman
21 Jan 2013
Paul Morgan, who worked for the Cheshire-based private security firm Stirling Group, was on a bus taking him to the local airport when al-Qaeda kidnappers attacked it on Wednesday morning.
Mr Morgan, a former French Foreign Legion soldier who was in charge of security at the In Amenas gas plant, instinctively fought back and paid with his life as he tried to protect his colleagues.
A former legionnaire who served with him said: "The lads are chuffed that he didn't go down without putting up a fight. He was a good soldier and a very humane and kind man. The Legion is a family and everyone in the Legion is paying their respects, as the lads keep tabs on their own and mourn those who die in service. Once a Legionnaire, always a Legionnaire."
