MAITLAND, Fla. (March 4, 2012) - The Rollins men's rowing crew raced at their very own Metro Cup Regatta and took home the Team Metro Cup trophy with four top times on Saturday at Lake Maitland.
The men displayed a strong performance on the rough waters as the weather made it a little less than tolerable.
The men posted wins in the Varsity 8, Novice 8, Varsity 4 and the Novice 4 "B", beating out their opponent by a little over a minute. With wins in the named events, the Rollins men took home the Team Metro Cup trophy.
In the Varsity 4 (Eric Pagan, Nick Pittari, Kip Zimmerman, Rob Spolsino, Ali Hakim), the men clocked a time of 7:00.3 while Central Florida registered a 8:19.8. The four then joined Brian Burch, Tim Mazzotta, Mitch Verboncoeur, and David Rice for the Varsity 8 where they took that event in 7:16.9.
The Novice 8, comprised of coxswain Rachel Reams, John Frelinghuysen, Patrick Smith, Ben Van Der Werf, Christian Pichert, Zachary Urow, Ben Smith, Tristan Wakely, and Brad Baker, crossed the finish line in 6:54.2.
The men's Novice 4 "B" (coxswain Maggie Klein, Patrick Smith, Ben Smith, Ethan White, John Frelinghuysen) also beat out their opponent, posting a time of 7:34.9.
The Rollins men will be back in action on Saturday, March 10 as they host the Spring Break Race on the beautiful waters of Lake Maitland.

Ryan Seacrest signs two-year extension for 'American Idol'
Not content with taking over solo duties for New Years Rockin' Eve after Dick Clark died, Ryan Seacrest has just signed a deal to continue to host American Idol for two more seasons. Because you have to keep dancing with the date you brung with ya.
Seacrest is keeping the same terms as his previous, three-year deal, which netted him a cool $15 million per year, Variety reports. "For the last 11 seasons, I've had the privilege to be a part of one of television's most iconic shows. It's been a wild ride, and I'm excited for my journey with American Idol to continue," Seacrest said.
Ryan is also working on a deal with NBC Universal to cover this summer's Olympics, among other things, so expect his annual income to go up even higher. It's enough to make you glad he didn't get Matt Lauer's job on the Today show.

SIM2's C3X Projector Review – An Overview
Shadow details
The next pairs of images attempt to give you an idea of the range of color dynamics. My digital camera can't capture all, so there is a normally exposed image (but you lose the
shadow details, and then an overexposed photo of the same frame, so you can now see the projector's ability to resolve the details in the shadow. On the first pair, look to the dark shed or walls on the right, on the second image. See, all that detail is there.
The first starship image (above, from the 5th Element) is normally exposed and you can see fine highlight details in the various components on the ship. In the second image, I have overexposed so the camera now captures the full depth of stars and their colorings, that the viewer also sees.
I should note that the night before I started writing this, I had several friends over. One has had home theater projectors in his house for at least 6-7 years, one who watches football and movies over here occasionally, and one lightweight. All three agreed with me, in that no trip to the movie theater blew them away, like what they saw here.
Of course the Sim2 isn't perfect, and I did detect a little bit more noise in dark areas than I have seen on some other DLP's but it was perfectly acceptable to me. On the other hand,
perhaps the C3X is too good. I definitely was able to see what is probably the MPEG encoding (compression) on certain DVDs – in near black or black areas, and it was noticeable. This is something I have never noticed on lesser projectors.
It was most noticeable on the movie Zathura, which again is a sci-fi flick. In the space scenes it appeared as large moving blocks of near black. Taking down the brightness an extra step or too, made it go away, but of course it would also have cost a little loss of detail. That was the only DVD where it was blatant but I was able to spot it on others.
If you've read other of our reviews, you'll know that I look for a projector to really be able to reproduce bright sunny scenes well. Many projectors come up short, when trying to capture a day that is really bright and clear, instead producing something that looks more muted and hazy. Not this Sim2. It makes you feel the heat of the sun glaring off of objects.
One a night scene from Star Wars II, and a party at night from Starship Troopers. Again, these images attempt to give you some idea about the punchiness, and 3 dimensionality of the projected image:
Again, the image quality is just wonderful. If the budget is there, you can project the kind of image we all dream of.
If there are better projectors out there right now and there are a number of other competing projectors from the likes of Runco, Panasonic, Vidikron, Digital Projection, and so on…, I can only imagine we would be considering only fine differences in performance. Of course in my experience, you can watch a truly great $6000 projector and be blown away, and until you see a projector in this caliber, can't imagine that there could be such a difference.
Hi-Def from both my D-VHS and cable box was really sharp, and the best content was truly great.
I've viewed this image on most projectors I've reviewed, and none to date have matched the C3X in capturing the strength of the early morning sun shinning on the houses and yards. I've oft referred to the "sunshine effect" in other reviews. Most projectors come up short in reproducing one of those razorsharp clear sunny days, instead leaving you with the feeling of an almost hazy day, where the shadows aren't as clear and defining… Not so the C3X, it knows how to reproduce that brilliant type of day
Ok, that concludes this section, now for all those important other aspects of the projector, ans well as info from the calibration. click on General Performance next.

While there is at least one rail forum at which I participate and at which the owner would really prefer "no politics', I hold it is simply not possible to discuss passenger rail affairs without recognition of their political environment. So, with this site owner's acceptance and if I may, let's address the 2010 Mid Term Elections impact on Amtrak.
While not for one minute do I think the new Republican House majority will be chanting "kill Amtrak,,,kill Amtrak" (and even after the election rhetoric dies down, I doubt they will be chanting "kill Obamacare...kill Obamacare"), I think we are looking at an Amtrak that "did OK" during the 111th Congress but now it is time to be thankful "you got what you got when you got it". It appears that regarding the major equipment orders, the 70 Siemens electric locomotives are fully funded, but the 130 single level cars from the Spanish concern are not. While I have fair confidence these cars will be delivered, somewhere at 100 Penn "wind will blow' regarding the 'waste' these cars (for LD's) represent.
While the continued and growing public acceptance of both Amtrak's Corridor and LD services are certainly a plus, sometime during the 112th Congress, the call will move forth for some "pruning'. To what extent can (or will) a greatly neutered 1600 Penn come to the rescue, I know not.
One thing of which I am certain is that at such time railroad traffic returns to 2007 levels (and it will; I've placed my bets on that) and if some proposal for needless service is moving forth, i.e. some LD route, the "confiscation' position may be more than just an off hand comment a journalist reportedly heard, but rather a stated industry position promulgated through the AAR. Again, lest we forget the UP did not reportedly spend $2B for capacity expansion just so they could handle more Amtrak trains over the Sunset route - and if they did, my shares will be voted to 'throw the bums out".

Former All Blacks enforcer Brad Thorn gets the chance to represent the region of his birth when he makes his Highlanders debut against the Cheetahs in Invercargill on Saturday night.
Thorn missed the Highlanders' first Super Rugby game of the year because of a strained calf.
The inclusion of the ex-Crusader is one of three changes to the starting line-up from the 41-27 defeat to defending champions the Chiefs in Dunedin.
Thorn replaces Jarrad Hoeata at lock, Andrew Hore captains the Highlanders for the first time after completing a five-match suspension from the All Blacks' end-of-season tour and Highlanders newcomer Jake Paringatai takes over for the injured Nasi Manu at No.8.
A one-time Brisbane Bronco and a dual international after having also represented Australia in league, Thorn was born in Mosgiel, on the outskirts of Dunedin.
He returned to the deep south after stints overseas.
"The motivation is that I was born here and I want to represent this area," he said.
"I had a lot of fun in Brisbane and in Canterbury and, in the last year or two, I've had some great experiences in Ireland and Japan.
"This was a great opportunity. I thought it would be pretty special to come back and play here."
Thorn, 38, attributed his durability to "a lot of luck and a lot of hard work".
His present fitness was "OK" and he was looking forward to getting on the field in a competitive match.
"I'm just battling away," he said.
"I probably need to shave more because there are a few grey hairs coming through."
Thorn's goal is to add value and experience to the Highlanders, something Hore said he had already done.
The Highlanders, who had a bye last weekend, will want to get their season on track after opening with a loss.
The addition of Thorn and Hore should improve their set piece, which was shaky against the Chiefs.
The Highlanders have won their past seven games against the Cheetahs, whose two outings this year have brought a narrow loss against the Sharks in Bloemfontein and a 45-3 defeat to the Chiefs in Hamilton.

Reviews for Slow Cooker Ratatouille
Average Rating
"We enjoyed this - we love just about any version of ratatouille, but this is the first time I made it in the slow cooker. For our taste, it needed longer cooking. I doubled or even tripled most of the veggies so we would have plenty of leftovers."
"This was just okay for me and the family. I love eggplant but not prepared this way."
"This recipe was super easy and delicious! My whole family enjoyed it. It will be a staple in our home from now on. None of has ever had ratatouille before and I'm so glad I decided to make it. It smells wonderful cooking and cooks up beautifully. I ended up cooking mine on high for a couple hours and then on low until dinner. This is such a lovely and healthy meal. Thank you to Jolene for sharing! :)"
"So excited to try this recipe when I found it. Just was waiting for the summer produce to come on! Unfortunately, after investing in farm fresh produce at a local farm, my husband & I were terribly disappointed. I would have a lot rather used my fresh produce in other yummy summer recipes than emptying them down the disposal. Granted, it smelled delicious while cooking, which took about an extra hour to be done."
"This was so easy to make. I was a little leary about the black olives but they complimented the dish. I used this as a side dish, but with the leftovers I reheated and put over cooked pasta noodles. This is a great dish, very flavourful, colourful and light. I will definitely make this again and again."

Providence Comes to the Pete
For the first time following the thrilling buzzer-beating win over West Virginia, Pitt will take the court tonight, this time taking on the Friars of Providence College. The Friars (13-10, 4-7 Big East) are struggling, so it doesn't look to be a tough game for Pitt. Still, Providence has a win at UConn under its belt, and Pitt can't afford to lose another easy one at home. The Panthers need to take every win they can get with a very difficult stretch coming up to finish off the Big East season (at Marquette, at ND, vs. Louisville, vs. Cincy, at Syracuse, at WVU, vs. DePaul). This is probably the easiest game Pitt has left on the schedule so they can't afford to lose it. A loss would drop them from the top 25 and knock Pitt out of the race for a bye in the Big East Tourney.
The other big news tonight is the potential return of Levance Fields. He's been practicing, cleared by doctors, and is likely to at least suit up tonight. At best he could see a few minutes of action. That would be fantastic if Fields could get some minutes before the Marquette game, where Pitt will need him a lot more than they will tonight.
Two other excellent previews of the game can be found here and here. I'll be there for the tip at 7:30 (also on FSN Pittsburgh).

Warsaw (May. 9)
The Minister of Education today received a Jewish delegation consisting of rabbis whom he assured that there is no danger that the slaughter of animals according to the Jewish ritual will be prohibited in Poland.
Intensive propaganda against schechita has been carried on in Poland during the last few weeks even in the official government organ, Gazeta Polska, provoking the fear among Jewish orthodox leaders that the government is contemplating the prohibition of schechita.

More visa games
Again aiming to circumvent Congress so it can coddle illegal aliens, the Obama administration wants to grant "unlawful presence waivers" that would halt deportations of illegals who face "extreme hardship" -- extended separation from U.S.-citizen spouses, children or parents -- in getting visas legally.
Judicial Watch says the administration wants to "significantly reduce the length of time U.S. citizens are separated from" immediate-relative illegals awaiting U.S. visas after returning to their native countries as they're required to do.
Immigration officials say only the process of -- not the criteria for -- granting legal status would change. But Judicial Watch points out the underlying fallacy: "Besides the obvious security issues, changing this would be like rewarding bad behavior in a child. It doesn't make sense."
A 60-day clock for public comment began ticking on April 2. Once time's up, don't bet against this change's finalization.
This "stealth amnesty" president, after all, has already stopped deporting illegals without other crimes on their records and illegals charged with but not yet convicted of crimes. He needs Latino votes for his re-election. And for him, political gain outweighs what's best for the United States.

Alle-Kiski Valley soccer notebook: Playoff picture almost complete
Playoff picture almost complete
The fates of just a few local girls soccer teams remain uncertain as section play wraps up this week.
In Class AAA, Fox Chapel has made playoffs as the Section 3-AAA champ, and Plum will advance as the section's third-place team at worst. Because it still has three Section 1-AAA games left, Kiski Area (5-7-1, 4-5) can move into third; it has to play Franklin Regional (4-5-2 in section) and Latrobe (4-5-1) for a second time.
In Class AA, Knoch and Freeport qualified out of Section 2-AA.
Springdale is certain to at least share third in Section 4-A. The Dynamos, who lead Riverview by one game, will meet the Raiders Wednesday. Riverview must win to qualify.
• Valley's girls soccer team has matched its best win total for a season. The Vikings improved to 4-10-1 with a 1-0 win over Deer Lakes on Oct. 3. Alyssa Ruffini scored the game-winner in the weather-shortened game, and Kaitlin Capo had the shutout. Valley has two more chances for a fifth win.
• Burrell senior Samantha Shepherd, a defender who committed to Virginia Military Institute, and Knoch senior Gabi Lassinger, a defender who committed to Lafayette, rubbed shoulders with some special players when they belonged to the PA West 2008 Olympic Development Program. Their former teammates, Frannie Crouse and Malea Fabean, now Greensburg Central Catholic seniors, have scored more than 300 goals as a tandem, and Crouse might set a WPIAL career record. And Peters Township senior Veronica Latsko, another former cohort, is the two-time Gatorade Pennsylvania Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Banned from ArmA II Server - Unjust?
Hi all!
I got banned from arma 2 server today for using artillery gun glitch (D-30) against enemy in an actual AO...
There was an admin online, he looked like a voted-gamer admin, not a regular one like IceRaiser used to be.
He asked me, how can i use artillery guns, i explained him, then someone - that i suggest not him - banned me from server.
Let's state some facts: I'm not a hacker, i'm not a cheater. I'm playing the game as it is, i have only sound and some retextured weapon mods but that's all. Arma II has many-many glitches, that i won't tell anybody, let's find them out or look after it on Google, there are many, believe me...
As game glitches part of every game, it shouldn't be accused as cheating or hacking.
I want to be unbanned, because of real good community and good server.
There are many people can vouch me, like Tyrr, who knows i'm not a hacker, i probably got false reported by somebody after i did really mad game score by using artillery gun on AO.
Try to rethink that... please.

I know that this has been requested in the past (quite a few years ago already). Word and Pages both have the ability to add phonetic text to CJK characters. It's a badly needed feature for a WP that is known for its functionality in handling multiple languages. Word works nicely for aligning text above characters; Pages will struggle depending on the font used.
Redlers, any hope of expecting this in the future?

The Bagpiper
(in his own words, anonymously written)
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently, I was asked by a funeral
director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had
no family nor friends, so the service was to be at a paupers' cemetery.
This was in the hills and back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and being typical
man, didn't stop for directions.
I finally arrived, an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently
gone. The hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only diggers and
a crew left. They were sitting under a tree eating lunch.
I felt badly and apologized for being late. I went to the side of the
grave and looked down. The vault lid was in place. I didn't know what
else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around.
I played my heart out. I gave it my best performance filled with my soul.
I've never played before for a homeless person, but my imagination gave
me a picture of this lost person, lonely and afraid.
As I played, "Amazing Grace," for my final song, the workers shed a few
tears. We tend to be an emotional country, here in Scotland. Funerals are
serious business.
We were all weeping together.
When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for the car.
Though my head hung down low, my heart was filled with joy.
As I opened the car door to my car, I overheard one of the older workers, who
may have been a little deaf. He was not whispering, but using a rather loud
voice. . .
"I've never seen nothing like that before and I've been putting septic tanks in
for twenty years."

Civil servants are not Umno servants
YOURSAY 'How can the PM claim the elections are going to be held fairly if every civil servant is threatened with the prospect of losing his or her job?'
Teacher sacked for attending Anwar's ceramah
Mighty Bear: In Malaysia, a teacher who slaps students gets to hold on to the job, but part-time religious teacher Qatrun Nada Mohd Latfi, who attended a talk given by the opposition, was summarily dismissed.
How can the prime minister claim the elections are going to be held fairly if every civil servant is threatened with the prospect of losing his or her job?
I don't see anything political in attending a talk. It is our right to have the freedom to select the government of our choice.
It is clear the government doesn't want this; they want the people to remain ignorant and subservient.
Kgen: Who funds Jawi (Federal Territory Religious Department)? BN or the public? It is disgusting that civil servants who should act without political bias behave as if they owe their living to BN.
Ksn: Civil servants, I hear, are not supposed to take active part in politics. Is attending a ceramah considered being active in politics?
It's just hearing what the politicians have to say about the country, its governance, what is being done properly and improperly, about corruption, etc.
If this criterion is applied impartially, most civil servants have to be sacked because most of those attending Umno Baru ceramah are civil servants, are they not?
Civil servants are not Umno Baru servants, they are public servants to serve the public. The 1.2 million civil servants should take note of this injustice to Qatrun and draw their own conclusion on the matter.
Anonymous #32993250: I just do not understand the stupidity of Jawi in sacking its employee for attending the speech by another Malaysian, be it be anybody.
It is the democratic right enshrined in the constitution that one has the right of association.
Anwar is not an alien but a true Malaysian in blood and soul. What kind of action is this? As usual our so-called 1Malaysia PM is silent.
Gerard Lourdesamy: Civil servants attending political talks by Umno-BN leaders are okay. She should challenge this in court.
The General Orders only prohibits her from holding positions in political parties but not from taking part in political activities.
Even this was changed by the BN federal government recently for the lower grades. If it applies to permanent staff, shouldn't it also apply to contract/temporary staff?
Otherwise, it is discrimination under Article 8 of the constitution.
Anonymous_3e79: Sue the government and Jawi for discrimination. We could crowd source the funding for legal fees.
P Dev Anand Pillai: This is what happens when government departments take orders from Umno warlords as opposed to following procedures stated in the General Orders and the relevant Acts of Parliament.
Civil servants have become the real servants of Umno. Being almost entirely Malay, only an uprising will put a stop to this abuse in the civil service, and the uprising must be started by the Malays themselves. The rest will follow.
Anonymous #41809171: What injustice! This poor part-time teacher is sacked for merely attending a ceramah by Anwar.
Meanwhile, that other teacher who slapped the Orang Asli children for not reciting the doa is not required to apologise, not reprimanded, and not sacked for what he did.
Mushiro: Did Jawi do this under the name of Islam or under the instructions of Umno? If Jawi officers cannot uphold Islamic values and its teachings, then they should leave.
Gggg: First things first - who is Umno to question a civil servant? Shouldn't that be an issue because it clearly shows Umno is so powerful that it can even question and curb the action of a civil servant.
Anonymous #38950338: Before Qatrun was sacked, her family may be neutral. But now they have just increased number of PAS supporters. Good one BN, keep it up!

Anonymous #33877536: If we talk about democracy, why the harassment? A civil servant works for the people and the government is chosen by the people for the people.
The government of the day cannot intimidate the people. But after 55 years in command, it is as if the land belongs to them and we should only obey them.
But the governments can change and it will change going by what is happening in Malaysia. The government is making a very serious mistake and this is going to cause them votes.
Lim Chong Leong: Teachers who attend opposition ceramah sacked. Students who attend oppostion ceramah expelled. Soon there will be no more need for schools. All our youth can be mat rempits and fight for Umno. That's their main plan.

The New Season Of "Nikita" Is Going To Kick Butt
Some people are anxiously awaiting the new "Charlie's Angels." Me? I am far, far, far more excited about the return of "Nikita," the CW's female spy show that quickly became one of my faves during its first season. What I like about "Nikita" is that the two main characters—Nikita and Alex—have a relationship that unpeels like an onion. As layers of information come off, it becomes increasingly unclear whether they're working for or against each other's interests. Here it appears that they may actually be enemies in season two? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Want to contact the writer of this post? {encode="[email protected]" title="Email her"}!

Have just fallen off the north face of the Eiger !
Has anyone had problems with filing corporation tax return stub periods using Sage which fail to turn up at HMRC (where accounting period greater than a year) ?
This happened to me once when I selected the submit Both periods through the online filing wizard, kept my receipt and assumed all was well, only to discover it wasn't. The Main period only had turned up and fortunately HMRC sent me a reminder - so I called them and re-sent. Well it's just happened to me again except no reminder just a huge determined demand for tax (client made a loss) and a £200 penalty. I've just spoken to HMRC and they can see the Main return (which has been sitting in limbo with no allocation) but not the Stub period. Fortunately they have agreed to remove the penalties as they can see it was sent on time, providing the Stub is sent again today...with knees knocking it has been duly filed.
I have another couple of clients coming up with their first accounting periods greater than a year and I will NOT be using the submit both option again but will file the main and stub separately (not the height of efficiency) but I just don't trust Sage.
Anyone had similar problem ?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Main and Stub filing
We have had similar problems and when speaking to Sage it would appear that a lot of people choose both then when the main has been filed, close the wizard without completing the stub submission.
For some reason the software cannot file both together so you need to allow it to repeat the process for the stub but this time do not attach accounts, etc.
You should then get two submission logs.
Glad to be of help :D
But wouldn't it be good if the software flagged this up so we didn't all have to find out the hard way.......

Is Ben & Jerry's Planning to Make A "Schweddy Balls" Ice Cream?
Summer heat already taking its toll? Time for some cool buzz on novelty ice cream manufactures, Ben & Jerry's.
Gothamist reports that the Vermont-based ice cream company may or may not be developing a new "Schweddy Balls" -themed flavor in honor of the Saturday Night Live skit starring Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, and Alec Baldwin as Pete "Schweddy Balls" Schweddy.
Who dropped this ice cream bomb? Apparently Ana Gasteyer.
In an interview with New York 1, Gastayer said:
"It has this crazy, massive popularity that's kind of had a half life since I left the show. Ben and Jerry's is coming out with a schweddy balls ice cream for Christmas this year."
Gothamist adds that Bowery Boogie says the flavor will arrive sometime in September and run through Christmas, but a Ben & Jerry's rep would neither confirm nor deny the move, saying "we like all of our new flavors to have an element of surprise."
Schweddy Balls for fall? Sounds like another skit.
Now, let's watch the clip:

|Assigned Interventions
Empirical OCA
This group will be treated with omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin without having a previous antibiogram.
Other: OCA 10
A group will be treated with omeprazole (20 mg / 12 h), amoxicillin (1 g/ 12 h)and clarithromycin (500 mg/12 h) for 10 days (as following current guides) without having a previous antibiogram, and the other group will be treated after antibiotic susceptibility.
Other Names:
OCA after antibiogram
This group will be treated with omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin after an antibiotic susceptibility confirmation.
Other: OCA 10
A group will be treated with omeprazole (20 mg / 12 h), amoxicillin (1 g/ 12 h)and clarithromycin (500 mg/12 h) for 10 days (as following current guides) without having a previous antibiogram, and the other group will be treated after antibiotic susceptibility.

Detailed Description:
Usefulness of antimicrobial susceptibility in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori
- The rate of eradication of Helicobacter pylori with standard triple therapy (OCA: omeprazole + clarithromycin + amoxicillin) in our area is less than the expected according to the III Maastricht III consensus. However, the current guidelines recommend the use of this therapy.
- According to the Maastricht III consensus, in populations with high rates of clarithromycin resistance (15-20%) another therapy should be considered, or alternatively, testing antimicrobial susceptibility of the H. pylori prior to treatment.
- To clarify the real rate of eradication with OCA therapy with and without antimicrobial susceptibility in our area (with high rate of resistance to clarythromycin).
- To study which is the diagnostic-therapeutic strategy more cost-effective for the treatment of H. pylori.
- Participants will be screened with a full medical history.
- Participants will aleatory receive OCA therapy empirically, or after antimicrobial susceptibility test if there is no resistance to clarythromycin, for ten days.
- In all cases the eradication of H. pylori will be checked by 13C urea breath test (UBT) in 8 weeks after the therapy have been finished.
- All the adverse event of the therapy will be reported.

text: O'Neill concluded, "As announced last quarter, our Board of Directors is reviewing strategic alternatives to maximize value for all stockholders, and we have no further update to provide at this time. Our Company priorities of executing on our asset-light expansion strategy, de-levering our balance sheet, paying a quarterly dividend, building on our comparable sales momentum, and realizing operational improvements through our comprehensive cost savings program have not changed. In fact, we are pleased to have already made substantial progress on these action items and expect continued focus will further strengthen our business model."Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results For the second quarter ended July 3, 2012, system-wide comparable store sales increased +1.3%, reflecting +3.9% growth in average check that was driven primarily by product mix, pricing, and an increase in catering sales, and partially offset by lower comparable transactions. Total revenues increased 2.2% to $106.0 million from $103.7 million, reflecting a 3.0% increase in Company-owned restaurant sales, while manufacturing and commissary revenues decreased 7.2% due to recent commissary closures. Restaurant gross margin as a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales increased 150 basis points to 17.7% from 16.2%, and was due primarily to operational efficiencies in food costs, and to a lesser extent, overall sales leveraging and higher pricing. Manufacturing and commissary gross margin as a percentage of manufacturing and commissary revenues increased from 12.0% to 22.9%, and was due to benefits from various cost initiatives related to the efficiency program, but particularly, the closure of all five commissaries by the end of the first quarter of this year. Overall, gross margin was $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, and as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 19.9% from 17.7% in the year-ago period. General and administrative expenses increased to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, and was primarily due to higher variable incentive compensation.

A New Zealand MP and former broadcaster says she was groped by Rolf Harris during an interview in the 1980s.
Maggie Barry said she was conducting a radio interview with Harris when he slid his hand up her thigh, she told RadioLive on Friday.
Barry said Harris turned nasty after she rebuffed his advance and called him a "creep".
"In the studio he started to do the old wandering hands thing and I stood up and I said, 'Well you can stop that right now,''' she said.
"For a few moments I just saw his really nasty side."
Harris, 84, was found guilty in London this week on 12 charges of indecently assaulting four girls over nearly 20 years from 1968.
The West Australian-born entertainer is to be sentenced in Britain overnight (Australian time).
He is the second person to be convicted under the British police Operation Yewtree, which was set up following the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Witnesses from New Zealand and Australia gave evidence at the trial, but Harris was not charged with offences against them as the court did not have jurisdiction to prosecute incidents that took place outside Britain.
New Zealand police are now investigating whether Harris could face similar charges for crimes allegedly committed in New Zealand.
Barry said that her experience could have been different had she been younger.
"If I'd been a young person and had been uncertain or maybe over-awed a little bit by his celebrity status I think it would have been a very different experience," the National MP said.
"I think ... he will get the full force of the law and probably die in jail and he deserves it."

Papoi (パポイ, Papoi) is the best student of South Kai. He is mentioned by South Kai in the Dragon Ball manga, and makes an appearance in the Dragon Ball Z episode "Take Flight, Videl".
Dragon Ball Z
Majin Buu Saga
Main article: World Tournament Saga According to South Kai, Papoi gave his life to save his home planet from "something real nasty", which North Kai sarcastically mused to be nothing more than boredom. North Kai and South Kai start to debate who is stronger. While Goku is training in the background with two-ton weights on each of his arms and legs, South Kai claims that Papoi could mop the floor with Goku.
Both Kais get competitive, so North Kai tells South Kai to increase each weight on Goku to ten tons per weight. At first, Goku can barely move, but then he turns Super Saiyan and starts moving around very quickly. South Kai's jaw hits the ground, and he quickly says that the scared Papoi should not waste his time fighting Goku, making up an excuse that the tournament will be too much of a low-level competition for Papoi (in the dub, he claims Papoi has a dinner date).

Matthew Graham wrote three of the dullest "Doctor Who" episodes of the series…
Oh Herb! I was having such a nice day out in Melbourne filming the show and then you say mean things about my Whos. Sorry you thought they were dull. I hope you like Childhoods End. Matt Graham
Uh, why not state that Colm was on a few episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation and Star Trek Deep Space Nine? That might interest some Sci-Fi fans eh?
Meaney was a regular co-star through most of Deep Space Nine's run. He has strong sci-fi credentials.

Penn 8 - Keystone 7
PHILADELPHIA - It was better late than never for the Quakers, who scored in the bottom of the eighth inning to break a 7-7 tie and come away with an 8-7 win over visiting Keystone College at Meiklejohn Stadium on Wednesday.
Penn gave up a lead for the third time in five games, but like the previous two instances the Red and Blue found a way to pull it out, getting an RBI single from freshman Brandon Engelhardt with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Freshman righty Cody Thomson then came on to finish the game for his team-leading fourth win of the season.
Thomson was one of six pitchers for the Quakers on Wednesday. He tossed the final two innings, allowing two hits and striking out a pair. Sophomore John Beasley got the start and was the only other Penn pitcher to go 2.0 innings. He didn't allow a run and struck out two over the first two frames.
At the plate, the Red and Blue scored eight times on seven hits, with sophomore Greg Zebrack going 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI. Senior Mike Mariano recorded his first extra base hit of the season, belting a double down the third-base line that scored a pair of runners.
For the second time in as many games, the Quakers jumped on the opposition early, scoring four times in the bottom of the first. After a groundout by Engelhardt, senior Dan Williams drew a walk and moved over to third on some excellent execution in the hit and run by senior Jeremy Maas. Will Davis was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Mariano doubled down the left-field line, scoring a pair. Rick Brebner followed with a run-scoring groundout and Zebrack plated the last run with a bunt single.
Keystone cut into Penn's lead with two runs in the top of the third on four hits to make the score 4-2. The Red and Blue got a run back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI double from Zebrack to push the advantage back to three.
In the fifth, the Giants came all the way back to take the lead. Keystone scored five times, and though only two of the runs were earned, it left Penn on the wrong side of a 7-5 score.
The Red and Blue offense came alive in the bottom of the sixth as Brebner and Zebrack both walked to lead off the inning. With two on, Derek Vigoa laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners to second and third. With Adrian Lorenzo batting, Brebner scored on a passed ball, and just one pitch later a wild pitch brought Zebrack in from third to tie the game at six apiece. Lorenzo walked but was stranded on first to end the inning.
After a scoreless seventh, Vigoa led off the bottom of the eighth with a bunt single down the third-base line. The junior advanced to second on a wild pitch and came home on the single by Engelhardt.
The Quakers run their win streak to five games, their longest since winning five straight in March last season, and improve to 13-10 overall. Penn embarks on its first Ivy road trip of the year this weekend when the team faces Yale and Brown on Saturday and Sunday.

teams have been Jewish. Last year Chelsea high school won the state title. The captain Steve Stavisky, and Sol Nechten, another Jewish basketeer, were named all-New England.
"This year's team is composed of an all-Jewish five. Thus far it has defeated the best teams in this section of the country. It has suffered much abuse from their Gentile opponents on this ground. The team consists of co-captains Nechten and Manny Abrams, Abe Perkins, Irving Uchenick, and Jacob Noe."
Nechten, a forward, is a six-footer, who is fast and dependable. Can be relied on in a pinch and has saved many a game.
Manny Abrams, another forward, is a flashy player. He excels in sinking shots that are almost impossible to make….
Abe Perkins, a six-footer who weighs 215 popnds, is a marvel in the bucket. Only four points have been scored against him this season and he is considered the best center in the state.
The steady playing of the guards, Uchenik, and Jake ("a thousand times") Noe, are an important factor in Chelsea's success."
Thanks, Maurice, let's hear from you again.

Her representative has come out with a denial that the couple is heading to splitsville because they were rarely seen together in public.
The rumor about Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds splitting came out as bogus. National Enquirer reported earlier this week that the power couple has "trouble in paradise" with divorce as an option but Gossip Cop has reached out to Johansson's rep who says there's "absolutely no truth to this."
Enquirer falsely pointed out that the couple was rarely seen together, taking an example when Johansson attended Obama's White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. on May 1 solo. However, TMZ caught in its lens, just four days after that, Reynolds and Johansson walking out of gym together.
The 25-year-old actress herself has repeatedly described how incredible being married is despite doing it at relatively young age. "I mean, you're married and suddenly you have your own family," she told InStyle. "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."

Located on an island in northwest Wales, the locally called Llanfair PG was given an official name that is 58-letters long to attract railway tourists in the 1850s.
What's in a name?
Well, exactly 58 letters, if the name happens to be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest village names in the world.
Located on the island of Anglesey in northwest Wales, the village was first known by the somewhat shorter Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, but acquired the longer moniker as a way to draw railway tourists in the 1860s. The 19th-century strategy has been paying dividends since, as travellers keep journeying to the place for photo-ops next to the oversized railway station sign.
The sign is hardly the only draw of Llanfairpwll, or Llanfair PG as locals call it. The railway station itself was restored to look as it did in its Victorian heyday, and a James Pringle Weavers shop showcases two Welsh-built steam locomotive engines as well as Welsh gifts and crafts. On the outskirts of town, The Marquess of Anglesey's Column stretches 27m high in honour of the Marquess Henry Paget, who lost a leg in the battle of Waterloo. Both the Anglesey countryside and the nearby Menai Strait can be seen from the top of the column's 115 steps.
Only a few steps away sits the St Mary's parish for which Llanfair PG was in part named (the full name translated from Welsh is "St Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of Saint Tysilio of the red cave"). The eponymous St Tysilio church, constructed in the 15th Century, sits on Church Island in the Menai Strait, just off the shore of Anglesey. No one today can find the red cave, however, and the white hazels at St Mary's have long been replaced by oak and elm trees.
The full village name, made its way onto a Monopoly board in October 2011. The Anglesey edition of the game was released late last year to capitalize on the newfound attention the island received as a result of Prince William and Kate making their first home there. William is stationed at the Royal Air Force base on the island, only 27km northwest of Llanfair PG. While the game makers were tempted to use the shorter name, the long version won out, even though it took five lines of space to fit all the letters on the standard railroad square.

'Wall Free Europe!' Campaign 2014
On November 9th 2014, it is 25 years ago that the Berlin wall fell and we will celebrate unity of East and West Germany. Yet, there are still walls that segregate Roma citizens from their non-Roma neighbours across Europe (see annex: glossary). Therefor ERGO has built its advocacy campaign around this historic moment, asking attention for the removal of both physical and mental walls.
November 9th marks the fall of the Iron Curtain that divided Eastern and Western Europe. But it also sparked a new, enlarged Europe based on fundamental EU values: democracy, human rights and social inclusion. In reality, the position of many Roma worsened –most of them were better off under the socialist regime and resembles more closely resembles the Apartheid South Africa than a modern-day democracy.
Since the fall of the Berlin wall, new walls have been erected in Europe. Alone in Slovakia 14 walls exist to separate Roma from their non-Roma neighbours. Also in Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Italy, France and other European countries, local governments build walls to hide Roma -often motivated to protect children safety. In fact, many mayors have won votes by going along with the non-Roma requests to prevent Roma to enter their streets. In North Ireland walls still separate Protestants and Catholic's neighbours that are expected to be removed only in 2032!
There is a growing tendency to justify or at least tolerate the anti-Roma walls. While 15 years ago there was a strong reaction to a wall built against Roma in Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic, today we seems to take them for granted.
ERGO will launch its Wall Free Europe! campaign asking for removal of the walls and gaining attention for the increasing anti-Gypsyist and racist sentiments in Europe -which creates 'walls' in the heads of the general public to relate to Roma. This result in Roma apartheid: segregation in schools, ghettoization and massive unemployment.
According to polls who predict that at the European elections, extreme-right parties will have a significant share of their representatives in the European Parliament. The current raise of hate-speech by politicians, accelerated by the media, builds new "walls" of ignorance in the minds of the people. The Wall Free Europe campaign aims to aims to monitor, tackle and prevent the hate-speech made by politicians in their electoral campaigns.
In the last decade, Politicians and policy makers failed to address this systemic discrimination of Roma in Europe. The campaign advocates for Roma to be treated as equal stakeholders in policies and programmes targeting them –not treating them as objects, but subjects of the necessary change. The 'walls' in the minds of the people in power have to be removed, so that Roma can participate equal in civil and political life. Like Vaclav Havel said 20 years ago: "The Roma problem is a litmus test not of democracy but of a civil society. One means legislation to enable the people to vote and make them the source of power. The civil society is related to human behaviour."
Approach of the 'Wall Free Europe!' campaign
The Wall Free Europe! campaign aims to call an end to Roma apartheid by visualising segregation and anti-Gypsyism in Europe. The campaign has a 2 year perspective: the first year (2014) it will explore, map and visualise physical and mental walls in Europe and establish cooperation with different organisations. The second year (2015) the campaign will focus on gaining more in-depth information on segregation of Roma (in ghettos, schools –including the costs & consequences of segregation) and working with communities to explore path-ways out of segregation (by developing local actions plans, including EU funding like CLLD and micro crediting). All activities have a strong capacity building and empowerment component.
In the first year the Wall Free Europe! campaign has the following focus:
· Raising awareness at the general public on the existence of physical and mental walls that segregate Roma citizens from their non-Roma neighboursthrough:
o Mapping of walls and visualise them through stories, pictures and clips on RomaReact.org. and a "Wall free Europe Contest"
o Empowerment activities in a number of segregated communities to strengthen their political and social participation, while pressuring the local authorities to take concrete and immediate actions ( like the removals of physical walls through letters, public events) and involving non-Roma supporters to build relations of trust.
o Gain attention of general public and media by organising public events like concerts, summer camps, flash-mobs and introduce the campaign at existing festivals and events organised by others.
· Fighting anti-Gypsyism and discrimination in today's Europethrough;
o Monitoring, tackling and preventing hate-speech by politicians in their electoral campaigns (EU and national elections) cooperate with ENAR and NO HATE movement.
o Reaching out to MEPs and EC officials (commissioners) to take a stance against anti-Gypsyism and systemic discrimination (open call EU Roma Summit, hearing EP, letters to new MEPs).

This landed our email last night. Word reached the internet world, that 2shotz is engaged to his current girlfriend, allegedly just 2 months after his engagement to video girl, Ada Beverly Osu.
2shotz camp is clearing up the air, and stating that he was never engaged to Beverly in the first place.
Rumor has it that the legendary commercial Hip-hop act 2shotz, real name; William Orioha was formally engaged to the 19 years old model; Beverly. Both of them have condemned such false news spreading via the internet and media houses.
"we were never engaged, we only dated and anyone could have had thoughts of taking it to the next level but that never happen" Says 19years old Model; Beverly Osu, 2Shotz ex-girlfriend whom their pictures together were trending via the internet couple of months ago.
In an interview with 2shotz trying to get facts right.
Have you heard about the ongoing rumor you were formally engaged to Beverly Osu?
YES I have, it's funny how people in the media use words, I'm engaged to only one person and that's "name undisclosed" Like you can see she's wearing my ring. I'm sure you know there was never a time any other gurl wore my ring. *Smiles* I'd never proposed to anyone else.
Where you in a relationship with Beverly?
YES we had something going but it didnt turn out we were gonna spend the rest of our lives together.
Was there ever a time you proposed with or without a ring?
Did u offer her any ring as any sort of gift at anytime?
Was there any sort of family to meet ceremony like an introduction?
*laughs* That's a sure NO like I just told you I never proposed to anyone before my fiancé, so what would have brought that up
Thank you for your time, we just liked to hear from you since Beverly has condemned the rumor of ever being engaged to you too. I won't mind if you spare few more minutes to talk about your present relationship, we heard you're engaged already and getting married soon.
How true is that?
Very True!
Has there been a family introduction ceremony with her?
So we await the wedding proper?
When will that be?
Words will reach you regarding my wedding at a time we choose to make the date public, that's all the time i have with you now, we can always book another appointment, and thanks.
Meanwhile, a video for 2shotz latest single should be out soon. Check out the song. Jobiokoto [DOWNLOAD]

Hacking the City: "Urban buzz"
How can new technologies 'hack' into a given place and improve that place? Analysing behavior data and challenging the way, we use the city by creating temporary meeting points - virtual or physical.
HACKING THE CITY by Alexandra Institute, IFHP, Urbego & Copenhagen Solutions Lab
#smartcity #bigdata #nudging #play #makerculture #behavioranalysis #tourism #intelligentareas #build #popup #hyperlocalinformation
In Hacking the City Lab we will focus on three main areas of Vester Voldgade - The City Hall Square, Stormgade and the square in front of Den Classenske Legatskole. During the course of the lab, participants will work to collect, interpret and visualize data to finally create the concept of a digital-physic installation that will encourage tourists to actively be a part of the urban environment of Vester Voldgade.
The mentors of the lab are planning and facilitating the day to day program and are adding experts and inspirators during the week. They will be guiding, motivating and challenging the participants all the way to the final presentation.

A $1.5 million judgment for a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette allegedly stolen by family members has been slimmed down to $315,000 in exchange for a no new trial deal, according to court documents.
In May, Orange County Superior Court Judge Andrew Banks ordered that a family trust and its trustees, siblings Rick Scalzo and Donna Ostermiller, pay $1,506,500 to their nephew, Marty Scalzo, after they refused to give him the Corvette once owned by their brother, Marty's father.
The judgment came five months after the Scalzo Family Trust got the city of San Juan Capistrano to fork over $6.35 million in a legal settlement over 121 development conditions the city imposed on a housing project planned at the Scalzos' San Juan ranch, on Del Obispo Street north of Paseo de la Paz and south of Calle Aspero. That's where the car had been kept for years.
But on July 11, Banks agreed to grant a new trial to Marty Scalzo's aunt and uncle unless he agreed to a smaller reward. Chuck Krolikowski, the trust's attorney, had asked for a new trial describing the $1.5 million as excessive. Banks agreed and gave Marty a choice. He could either go to trial again just to figure out the compensation bit—the jury's description of his aunt and uncle as acting "with malice, oppression or fraud" wouldn't change–or accept less money.
Marty Scalzo agreed to the reduced amount and got the car back, which his parents used on their honeymoon in 1968—something his attorney, Bill Baker, still considers a win.
"Marty is very happy to have his parents' 'Honeymoon Car' and to be awarded an additional $315,000," Baker said in an email. "This type of ruling is not unexpected where the compensatory damages so greatly exceed the value of the item withheld. While we preferred the larger amount, we must comply with the law."
A 12-person jury had valued the red car at $45,000. Their original judgment included $106,500 to pay for car rental at $100 a day for three years, which is how long Marty Scalzo says his aunt and uncle kept it from him. The jury awarded punitive damages of $200,000 against Rick Scalzo and Donna Ostermiller individually and $500,000 against each of them as trustees
The reduced judgment includes: $45,000 for car rental, $90,000 against each sibling individually and an additional $90,000 against the siblings in their role as trustees.
Marty's father, Martin R. Scalzo, moved the car in 2003 to a large barn on the Scalzo ranch in order to work on it. A year later, Martin R. Scalzo sued his siblings, Rick Scalzo and Donna Ostermiller, over issues with the trust and in 2005 transferred title of the car to his son Marty. But when Marty wanted to take the car for a spin, his uncle Rick wouldn't let him, saying the car belonged to his brother-in-law, Ron Ostermiller, Baker said. In 2008, Marty sued the trust and his aunt and uncle to get the car back.
The siblings have been fighting over family money since 1998, when their mother, Marion Scalzo, died and left a trust that she and her late husband, Martin E. Scalzo, had set up. The trust is valued at more than $7 million in cash and $18 million in property.
While Baker thinks the jury made the right decision in the first place, Krolikowski said the jury had been fooled.
"Every now and again a jury gets duped and makes a decision based upon passion or prejudice, as opposed to fact and reason. Rick and Donna will continue to fight this injustice," Krolikowski said.
Baker said Marty Scalzo is also going to continue the fight until his aunt and uncle fork over the money.

Johannesburg, Oct 27 (ANI): Southampton has beaten Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League to take themselves above Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham in the league table ahead of Sunday's fixtures.
According to Sport24, Southampton have made their best ever start to a top-flight season after climbing into third place in the Premier League as Rickie Lambert inspired a win over Fulham on Saturday.
England forward Lambert opened the scoring in the 20th minute and his strike-partner Jay Rodriguez netted the second just before half-time to seal Southampton's fifth win in nine league games, the report said.
Their current form is an all-time high, surpassing even a strong start in 1983-84 when they eventually finished as runners-up to Liverpool, the report added. (ANI)

Secret Deals in Auckland?
Secret Deals in Auckland?
New Zealand First Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters is calling on the National Party to come clean about secret deals being done with the ACT Party in Auckland electorate seats.
"The deal has been done to stitch up Epsom, but what else is being done behind closed doors?
"Little more than 48 hours ago ACT leader Jamie Whyte was speaking nostalgically about standing in the Pakuranga seat, but today he's backed off.
"Obviously National wants a straight run for Maurice Williamson and his connections there so Whyte has bowed to pressure, but what's he getting in return?
"All this explains clearly why National refused to bring in a law against coat-tailing and tawdry deals.
"Remember earlier this week, National did a Dunne deal in Ohariu to try to get the Minister For Legal Highs back into Parliament!"

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 13, 2013
Al Qaeda pens its first operational blueprint for Israel's destruction, planning to use its lack of strategic depth to attack the Jewish state from Syria and Iraq.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 11, 2013
The suspension of US-UK non-lethal military aid to the Syrian opposition in the north – ostensibly to keep it out of Islamist hands – is only part of the story. The aid will be put in the hands of the pro-American rebel forces deployed to man a new security zone the two powers are carving out in the south, as a barrier against al Qaeda's encroachments on the Jordanian, Israeli, and Lebanese borders, as well as Damascus. Two war rooms in Irbid, Jordan will run the operation under a US general.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 6, 2013
Two US war rooms were necessary in view of various Obama commitments to different Middle East allies. The area marked out as US area of influence is designed also to impede al Qaeda's advance.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 6, 2013
After failing to prevent Iran becoming a nuclear threshold state, Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu has practically run out of options.
DEBKAfile Special Report December 3, 2013
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency "reveals" that Saudi Arabia and Israel's Mossad are "co-conspiring to produce a computer worm more destructive than the Stuxnet malware to sabotage Iran's nuclear program." It claims that Saudi intelligence director Prince Bandar Bin Sultan and Israel's Mossad chief Tamir Pardo met in Vienna to decide on the virus attack on Nov. 24, shortly after the six world powers signed their first interim nuclear agreement with Iran in Geneva, and that a week earlier, Prince Bandar visited Israel secretly with French President Francois Hollande.
DEBKAfile Special Report December 2, 2013
In New York and Tel Aviv, former CIA director Gen. Michael Haden and ex-chief of AMAN, Gen. (ret) Amos Yadlin, offered the same opinion. Both said Sunday, Dec. 1, that Iran has attained the status of a nuclear threshold state, able to build several nuclear bombs in a matter of weeks. By this diagnosis, they indicted their respective governments for failing to stop this happening. Hayden on the Geneva accord: "We need to negotiate hitting the delete button." Yadlin: "Iran is a step before breakout to a bomb. This is unfortunate but true."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report November 28, 2013
The US is showering Iran with perks even before it takes the first step toward implementing its interim nuclear deal with the six powers.
DEBKAfile Special Report November 28, 2013
The three terrorists killed by Israeli forces in the south Hebron village Yata Tuesday, Nov. 26, belonged to the first al Qaeda cell to infiltrate the West Bank from Sinai, most likely through Jordan, debkafile reports. They came to establish a major new network for attacking Israel and the Palestinian Authority - hence the combined army, Shin Bet and special anti-terror force's expeditious action to terminate the cell. It is feared they were the harbinger of more infiltrations by al Qaide forces embedded around Israel's borders in Sinai, Gaza, Syria and Lebanon.

Turkish-Iranian intelligence cooperation has produced an operation against Syria rebel supplies through Turkey. Tehran wants to redirect Turkish exports from its Israeli route back to Syria, and use the Turkish route to promote Iranian products in Europe.
Major Israel-US rift over Washington plan to let Tehran continue enriching uranium with sanctions relief
DEBKAfile Special Report November 7, 2013
Israel voiced early Thursday, Nov. 7, its utter opposition to the new proposal the US plans to put before the two-day Geneva conference opening later in the day on Iran's nuclear program. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, when he met US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jerusalem Wednesday, bitterly accused the Obama administration of yielding to the Russian-backed Iranian position. Should Tehran renege on the deal, the US proposal leaves it with the capacity for enriching enough weapons-grade uranium in 10 days to build several nuclear weapons.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 28, 2013
It is hard to see why Israel is going through with the release of 26 Palestinian terrorists convicted for murder when the Palestinians have slapped down on the negotiating table 16 harsh terms - first revealed here by debkafile - that will defy even US Secretary of State John Kerry's bridging skills. Each of those demands, such as Israel's withdrawal to the 1949 armistice lines, forgo E. Jerusalem and accept 1948 refugees, is calculated to finally stall any diplomatic solution of the Middle East dispute.
The Big Fraud: Tehran's ScanEagle gift to Russia covered handover of secret US RQ-170 drone technology
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 25, 2013
Iranian video cameras homed in on the presentation of a replica of the US-made ScanEagle drone by Iran's air force chief Farzad Esmayeeli to Lt. Gen. Viktor Bondarev, visiting Russian air force chief, on Tuesday, Oct. 22. debkafile: This incident, an affront to the US, will also go down as a major military intelligence fraud, because it provided cover for the discreet handover to the Russian general of a replica complete with technology of America's most secret drone, the sophisticated RQ-170 Sentinel, a prize long coveted by Moscow.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 24, 2013
Obama, while pretending to be dissatisfied with Iran's nuclear concessions, accelerates the wording of a draft nuclear deal with Iran via Russia and prepares to spring it on the world as a big surprise.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 8, 2013
Large Syrian forces through Tuesday night, Oct. 8, tightened the siege on the rebel-held town of Khan Arnabeh which is the key to controlling the main highway from the capital, Damascus, to the Syrian Golan. The town is expected to fall quite soon. Its capture also provides the key to the central crossroads around the Golan town of Quneitra and will enable the Syria army to return to the UN-policed disengagement zone dividing the enclave between Syria and Israel. debkafile: The rebels are putting up no more than token resistance.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 7, 2013
Hizballah is surreptitiously withdrawing thousands of fighting men from Syria after an intervention for saving the Assad regime. debkafile: This withdrawal closes Tehran's first successful experiment in fielding a surrogate force for determining the outcome of a war in an important strategic arena. Despite heavy losses, Hizballah comes out toughened by combat experience and seasoned in running regular military units in battle under combined Iranian-Syrian command. The Lebanese Shiites have won a tactical advantage over the IDF which has not faced real combat since 2006.
DEBKAfile Special Report September 27, 2013
Thursday, Sept.26, was the day Israeli lost its freedom to use force either against the Iranian nuclear threat hanging over its head or Syria's chemical capacity – at least, so long as Barack Obama is US president. The Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah axis is safe. The US also promises to start lifting sanctions in December if Iran admits inspectors to the Fordo enrichment plant. At the Security Council, the US finally buried the use of force against Syria's use of chemical weapons by acceding to Russia's demand to drop the penalty clause.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis September 10, 2013
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon have patted themselves on the back for a balanced and cautious stance that kept Israel secure during the Syrian conflict. However, President Barack Obama's decision Tuesday, Sept. 10 to put US military action on hold leaves Israel exposed to a second major WMD threat: Bashar Assad keeps his chemical capability intact. An international control mechanism would take a year or more to put in place and meanwhile, Assad is off the hook for a crushing assault on Aleppo.
Syrian, Hizballah rockets for Palestinian anti-Israel proxy-reprisals. Syrian Sukhoi bombers over Cyprus
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 9, 2013
Syria and Hizballah Sunday, Sept. 8, finished supplying rockets to dozens of Palestinian groups, some ad hoc inventions, and deploying them on the Syrian and Lebanese borders facing Israel, debkafile discloses. An array of Katyushas, Grads and Fajr-5s, with ranges of up to 70 kilometers, is now in place. That night, an Israeli anti-missile Iron Dome battery was deployed in the Jerusalem region for the first time. Also Sunday, two Sukhoi (Su-24) bombers flew over the British Cypriot air base of Akrotiri, the second Syrian over-flight in a week.
DEBKAfile Special Report September 1, 2013
President Barack Obama's about-turn Saturday night, Aug. 31 on the planned US military operation against Syria's chemical weapons has shaken up the volatile Middle East balance of strength, giving Israel, Jordan and Turkey "a military nightmare." By suspending the US military threat, Obama has given Iran, Syria and Hizballah the time and freedom to stage a pre-emptive strike against America and its regional allies. Israel's authorities are taking no chances and keeping in place the military and security preparedness on the country's Syrian and Lebanese borders.
