There will soon be so more recipes for Teresa Giudice to "borrow" for her next cookbook.
Caroline Manzo's sons, Chris and Albie, are about to open the doors on their brand new restaurant, Little Town New Jersey, located in Hoboken.
The two "Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars have partnered with New York City-based restaurateurs Michael Sinensky and Sean McGarr, who also own Little Town New York, to bring the cuisine and culture of their home state straight to the locals' plates.
"All the food is not only locally sourced, but locally inspired," Chris, 23, tells omg! from the business' kitchen. "A lot of people in New Jersey don't really get acknowledged … There are so many different parts to the state, from a food standpoint. The culture is so different. I think this will really do a great job being a representative for the entire state of New Jersey, not just Hoboken."
The Manzo brothers are not just lending their names and heritages. Don't be surprised to see them in the kitchen, behind the bar – or even dining in! "I can't wait for those doors to open," says 26-year-old Albie, who recently got his bartending card. "This is the first brick and mortar spot that we have been a part of … It's really a lot of fun to go in there, to see how far it's come … It's kind of the best situation for us to get into. We really can't get yelled at if we go out because we're at Little Town, and we're still at work."
And when Season 5 of "Real Housewives" premieres later this year, fans all over the world will get a glimpse at the restaurant. Who knows, maybe Giudice will even flip a table there! "We're going to feature it definitely" on the upcoming season, says Chris. "The one thing we do on 'Housewives' is we film our reality. Viewers are really going to get attached to it the way we have."
As for the next season, which is currently being shot, though there are reports of Giudice and her estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, being friends again, it may just be a temporary truce. "They're all nuts!" says Chris. Even his mother? "Even her! She's not safe."
When it comes to mom Caroline's catfights on the reality series, usually with Giudice, it's not easy to see her on the receiving end of some pretty nasty comments, but Albie says they try to let her fight her own battles. "I think about what I would do if my mom tried to get involved in my problems," he explains. "I would be mortified. I would stay out of it entirely if it were up to me. She's a big girl."

By Jim Gay
After years of dominating the midnight circuit with the likes of Night
of the Living Dead, Martin, and Dawn of the Dead,
George A. Romero took a departure from bona fide horror films to make
this naturalistic tale of a traveling troupe of motorcycle-riding
jousters. (Think Hell's Angels on Wheels goes to the Renaissance
Faire.) While this may sound ludicrous on the surface, the film emerges as
a powerful character study. When the success of their jousting
tournaments--in which armor-clad bikers go at each other with real lances
for the entertainment of county fair crowds--attracts the attention of
bigtime promoters, creeping commercialism threatens to spoil their
delicately constructed Camelot. The troupe is a mirror of King Arthur's
court, complete with its King (Ed Harris), Merlin (Brother Blue), and
Morgan le Fay (Tom Savini). Only they ride motorcycles, and try to
knock each other off with maces. Ed Harris turns in a topnotch performance
as Billy, the focus of the film, who goes progressively nuts as it becomes
apparent he's losing his grip on the troupe (unconsciously playing out the
final days of Camelot). Knightriders is thoroughly engrossing
during the jousting tournaments and whenever Ed Harris is onscreen, but is
less successful in-between, when toeing the line of the Arthurian Legend
makes the film too mannered. And at 145 minutes, the film could have
been trimmed a bit. But why cavil when presented with the spectacle of Ed
Harris spinning slowly out of control? Watch for a cameo by Stephen King
himself, playing a spectator debunking the jousting tournaments as
"all fake," through ample mouthfuls of his hoagie.
Is Knightriders one of your favorite movies? What do you remember about it? Share your stories (or your reviews) with the world! (We print the best stories right here!)
Director: George A. Romero
Stars: Ed Harris, Gary Lahti, Tom Savani
Released: April 10, 1981

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General Picture
GBP/USD formed a new buy signal – "a golden cross". Yesterday the price worked out Ichimoku cloud base, but did not go further. A current buy signal is confirmed and weak as Chinkou Span entrenched above the price chart and the price is below the Ichimoku cloud.
At the present moment we advise you to open orders with the first target 1.5879 – the first resistance level. It is recommended opening orders only if the price enters Ichimoku cloud.
After overcoming this target the upward movement may continue to the second resistance level – 1.5959. The upward movement will have force as long as the price is above the Kijun-sen (1.5750) if the price fixes itself below this line, a buy signal will become weak and the movement will continue to the second support level 1.5667.
Chinkou Span is above the price chart that confirms the current signal for the purchase.
Bollinger Bands show the beginning of an upward movement, the bands widen and directed upwards. Now the best thing is to consider long positions in the market.
MACD is up, indicating an upward movement, but the "golden cross" is weak and it is early to open long positions. If the price fixed inside Ichimoku cloud the upward movement could gain some force, still if the price rebounds from it that could trigger a downward correction.
Trading recommendations
It is advised to consider long positions to 1.5879, but only after the price fixing within Ichimoku cloud. When the price overcomes this target it will continue to the level 1.5959.
Stop-loss should be placed below 1.5750 and with the increase of the line move up and stop level. After gaining profits of 50 - 60 points stop loss can be moved to a breakeven.
When opening buy orders MACD must show an upward direction of a trend. Take-profit can be placed just below the target level - 1.5870 and 1.5950.
In addition to the technical picture you should also consider the fundamental analysis.

Las Vegas: The Mets' Minor Disaster
Why Do the Mets Have a Triple-A Team in the Desert?
LAS VEGAS—For Mets minor leaguers, the last stop before the majors is a dilapidated ballpark 2,200 miles away from Citi Field. It is nestled along a row of abandoned lots and boarded up storefronts 5 miles north of the Las Vegas Strip, just past a motel sign that reads "Elvis Slept Here."
Cashman Field is the home of the Las Vegas 51s, the Mets' new Triple-A affiliate. And for a Northeast team whose rebuilding plan hinges on...

European Magic » Review by Candice
Firstly what made this tour so awesome was having a great tour manager (Felippo) and bus driver (Mark). It also helped that everyone on the tour were absolute champs!
Starting in Amsterdam was great as the ice breaker for the group was a canal cruise and then a sex show!
This tour had enough sites to tick off the bucket list, but also enough places to let loose and party hard.
Highlights included the night out in Munich and Lucern, bike riding and rapids (don't forget your swimsuit) in Munich and Paris.
Would have been great to spend more time in Munich and Paris but all in all, great way to see a lot of Europe quickly.
Can't wait to do another Contiki!

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - University of Georgia star Russell Henley might have had his best moment of U.S. Open week after he had finished his round Sunday and was standing outside the scoring trailer.
"Nice playing," Tom Watson said as he walked past.
Henley acknowledged the gesture from the eight-time major winner, who was playing in perhaps his final U.S. Open in the group immediately behind him.
"It was cool, looking back and seeing him," Henley said. "One of best players of all time. Really cool to be close to that."
Watson wasn't the only one to take notice of Henley's game this week. The 21-year-old from Macon shot 2-over-par 73 and finished his first major championship at 8-over 292.
That was good for a tie for low amateur honors with University of Illinois golfer Scott Langley. The two, who tied for 16th, will receive medals from the USGA for their play this week.
"I didn't even know you got a trophy," Henley said.
Henley, who was honored by multiple groups as the top collegiate player this week, made four birdies Sunday, including three in a four-hole stretch on the front. When he rolled in a birdie putt on No. 13, he raised his hands to cheer with the crowd.
"Nobody gives them enough credit," Henley said of the fans. "I told my brother every time I made birdie, the ones I did make, it was for the crowds. I'd say this one is for the people. I just wanted to make them cheer and have fun."
On the 18th green, Henley played to the crowd again. He raised his arms up and down, trying to get the crowd to cheer, and then cupped his hand to his ear as if he couldn't hear them.
When he knocked in a short putt for par, he threw his ball into the grandstand behind the green.
Now, the rising senior will continue to play the amateur circuit and look forward to one more year of college golf. He leaves this week to play in the Palmer Cup in Northern Ireland.
"There's a lot I need to work on," Henley said. "It makes you realize what you need to work on. I've got a lot to look forward to."

USF men's golf a step closer to national championships
They can hit it long, and they can roll in the short putts.
But, depth is what got the University of South Florida men's golf team one step closer to their national championship dreams -- a championship the Bulls are hosting later this month.
This season USF totaled four team wins, and crowned four different individual champions.
"You know, I'm not sure there's a college, a university in the ranks that's done that yet," said Bulls head golf coach Steven Bradley. "Everybody can play, our guys know it, and they all trust each other. It's certainly a great advantage for us."
"It's tremendously helpful," said sophomore Rigel Fernandes. "We push each other every day in practice to get better, and that translates on the golf course."
Fresh off their 2nd American Athletic Conference championship in three years, USF is headed north to play for a spot in the national championships.
The Bulls are one of 14 teams competing in the Yale Regional. Top five teams from each of the six NCAA regionals will move on to the national championships in Bradenton at the Concession Golf Club May 29-June 3.
"Vandy's [Vanderbilt] pretty good, LSU's good, I mean there's a lot of good teams in that region and we need to play well and handle our own business to advance out it," said Bradley. "But, I think that, you know, the way these guys are playing, the confidence they have right now in each other... You know, I really like our chances."
The Commodores and Tigers are both top-10 teams. Oklahoma State will be another challenge for the Bulls. The Cowboys finished runners-up in the national championships last year and they've won 10 national titles since 1963.
"I think we've beat all three of those teams all year," said Fernandes. "It's a great opportunity for us to showcase it at a national level and show the country how good we are, so I think we're definitely looking forward to it."
"We've been talking about this moment since August 19 when we stepped on campus," said Bradley. "I don't think that it's a surprise, I don't think it's unexpected by any means. We've been looking forward to this and working for this."
The Bulls begin the 54-hole regional May 14.

Isochron Scepter makes for some of the worst experiences I have EVER had in any games and just to give you an idea how much I hate it, the second card on that list is Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer ..... +1 and that whole thing. disgusted look at Scepter.

I love these types of Scepter decks haha. Wild Guess /Faithless Looting might be interesting for draw. as well as Shatter .

Awesome deck, totally lockdown. Finally someone who uses Silence , it's a really great and underrated card indeed. Found it kinda strange to find Isochron Scepter in a red/white deck, but it sure seems to do the trick nicely.
For artifact destroyer, you might as well sideboard Shattering Spree , it's just.. horrifying for every artifact deck and will not be too much for just 1 artifact. If you like more versatility, Revoke Existence is the very best choice.
Anyways, Good job!

I do like this deck, and I have always wanted to try something like this.
But all I can do is cringe when I see the 4 Ghost Quarter in there.
I would recommend using 2 more Mountain and 2 more Plains in place of ghost quarter. Or even replacing 2 of the GQ for 1 more of each land.
But that is just my opinion. Do you own the cards, and have you assessed the local meta-game?
July 29, 2012 2:08 a.m.
@genius1234, I have most and should have the rest of what I need by mid-week. What is your argument for removing Ghost Quarter in favor of more basic land? I'm all ears...

Seems to me Chandra, the Firebrand would be better than Ajani Vengeant here.
August 10, 2012 1:42 p.m.
@TheThanatosian, Ajani Vengeant has better game-controlling abilities in my opinion.

"free" Lightning Helix > "free" Reverberate in almost every instance.

Leonin Arbiter would go really well with the Ghost Quarter , this would also let you Path to Exile without them getting a land. This means you couldn't fetch with Arid Mesa after but it might be worth a try
October 5, 2014 8:38 p.m.
@tclaw12, I don't think Leonin Arbiter is a really good addition to this deck/concept. Leonin Arbiter does not offer any real board or game control and has drawbacks via Arid Mesa as you had suggested. Thanks for your suggestion though.
October 5, 2014 9:28 p.m.
Snapcaster is a really good idea.

I'd swap out Chandra's Phoenix for Kiln Fiend for crazy damage. Also, War Elemental could get pretty crazy, especially with the silence protecting him while he's still a "baby."
October 7, 2014 5:28 a.m.
@Buckminsterfullerene, those are nice suggestions, but this deck isn't about doing damage. It's all about removal and stall until the win condition comes out or they can't do anything about how I'm controlling the game and I just burn them to death while controlling the battlefield. Chandra's Phoenix is the better choice in my opinion, because it can withstand board wipes and creature death cards. That little 2 damage in the air adds up pretty quick, especially against decks with a lot of counter magic and/or cards that won't let me target the other player.
October 7, 2014 5:22 p.m.
freehopper says... #16
I think the argument (from before) for removing Ghost Quarter would be to make sure you hit your coloured lands on time. I don't know if it's the correct amount, but having 2 is a lot nicer.

Awesome original idea. I would love to see it play against the current modern Meta to see how it stands up against common decks. +1
Phyrexian Obliterator Approves as well.
October 7, 2014 5:37 p.m.
How about Deflecting Palm ???
October 7, 2014 6:01 p.m.
@neosapien, nice suggestion. The only problem I have with Deflecting Palm , is it can only deal with one thing at a time, but I like how it keeps things even. To the maybeboard for now. Thanks.
October 7, 2014 6:52 p.m.
What do you all think of the land amount? Should I drop to 22 or 23?
October 7, 2014 6:54 p.m.
Welding Jar is a great sideboard to keep the Scepter Alive. There are some deck in modern that have Artifact removal maindeck, and everyone have it on the sideboard.
Since you plan on playing all your hand all the time, Ensnaring Bridge is also a good option vs... well, all creature based decks.
Actually, why the monored burn decks in the format dont stablish some more control options, with Ensnaring Bridge , 4x Blood Moon maindeck, 4x Leyline of Punishment and Shrine of Burning Rage ? Look consistent to me, hahaha.
October 8, 2014 9:51 a.m.
@jsansoldo, I don't play all of my hand all the time. I keep it to control the board, destroying creatures when I need. Of course, if the Silent Scepter is out, I could probably dump my hand into the opponent.
October 8, 2014 5:47 p.m.
Just out of curiosity because it's clearly a judgment call, but why did you go w/r instead of w/u?
October 16, 2015 3:01 p.m.
@OculusTri, this is more of a casual deck with some ability to actually win. It's not really competitive by any means. With that out of the way, White for Silence, one of the main crux cards of the deck and Red for the burn, which is more-or-less your win condition. Lock them with Silence and burn them until you win.

Public Favors Cubs
A big reason for the Chicago Cubs' early success has been due to their dominance of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cubs try to remain perfect against the Pirates in 2008 as they look for a 10th straight victory over them when the teams open a weekend series Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.com have made Chicago -148 money line favorites (MLB Odds) for tonight's game, the over/under has been set at 8.5 total runs (Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 93% of bets for this game have been placed on Chicago -148 (View MLB Bet Percentages). Bet this game.
Chicago (25-16) beat San Diego 4-0 on Thursday for its second straight victory to take three of four from the lowly Padres. Now, the Cubs, who have won six of seven on their 10-game homestand, look to improve to 7-0 on the season against Pittsburgh (20-21), which has been swept in its last two trips to Wrigley, most recently April 18-20.
"They thumped us up there," Pirates first baseman Adam LaRoche told the team's official Web site of the club's last visit to Chicago.
The NL Central-leading Cubs, who are 17-7 at home, outscored the Pirates 29-9 in that series at Wrigley and head into this set after recording 13 hits against San Diego on Thursday.
Aramis Ramirez had three hits, while Alfonso Soriano had two and recently acquired Jim Edmonds went 1-for-4 in his Cubs' debut.
"It's definitely exciting," said Edmonds, who signed with Chicago on Wednesday after being released by the Padres last week. "Being in first place, a lot is on the line every day."
The Cubs hope Soriano can stay hot after he went 8-for-19 with three homers and six RBIs in the series with the Padres. Ramirez, meanwhile, is batting .357 (10-for-28) with two home runs and eight RBIs against the Pirates in 2008.
Part of the reason for Chicago's success against Pittsburgh this season has been its ability to pound the Pirates' scheduled starter Tom Gorzelanny (3-3, 5.97 ERA).
The left-hander, who's a native of Chicago's south suburbs, is 0-1 and allowed 14 runs through five innings over two starts against the Cubs this season. Gorzelanny, who is 2-3 with a 6.06 ERA lifetime versus Chicago, bounced back after missing a start due to tightness in his lower back by allowing two runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings of a 5-2 win over Atlanta on Saturday.
"I think the back issue is hopefully behind us now, but I thought he did a great job," Pirates manager John Russell told the team's official Web site.
Despite its recent struggles versus Chicago, Pittsburgh has won eight of 10 after rallying for an 11-5 win at St. Louis on Thursday to take two of three from the Cardinals.
Nate McLouth hit his 11th home run and Jason Bay added a three-run, pinch-hit homer to highlight a four-run eighth inning for the Pirates, who trailed 5-1 after four innings.
"We know we're in the game until it's over," Russell said.
McLouth is hitting .304 on the season and .346 with a homer and five RBIs against Chicago in 2008.
The Pirates get their first look at Chicago's Sean Gallagher (0-0, 6.48) as a starter when he takes the ball. Gallagher, who replaced Jon Lieber in the Cubs' rotation, allowed four runs, five hits and struck out six in 4 1-3 innings of a 6-4 victory over Arizona on Sunday in his first major league start.
The 22-year-old right-hander made 10 career relief appearances prior to his start Sunday, including one against the Pirates. He allowed a run in 1 1-3 innings of relief in an 8-4 loss at Pittsburgh on July 6. Bet this game.
Here are some top trends for today's game:
- 5 of 6 games in this series have gone OVER THE TOTAL this season .
- CHICAGO CUBS is 6-0 (+6.0 Units) against PITTSBURGH this season

Even the most ardent V8 fan would find it hard to argue with these numbers - 230kW, 650Nm and 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds.
But it's not an eight-cylinder engine producing those figures, or even a petrol engine; it's Audi's new 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 turbo diesel.
Officially known as the 3.0 TDI Biturbo, it's the newest engine in the German brand's line-up and is positioned at the top of the A6 range, just below the V8-powered S6 but above the supercharged V6 petrol 3.0 TFSI and the single turbo 3.0 TDI.
That is not surprising given the performance. As I discovered last year when I drove the 3.0 TDI Biturbo in the A7 Sportback and hit 270km/h on one of Germany's autobahns.
What impressed most on my re-acquaintance with the Biturbo was its mid-rev-range punch. Once the turbos spin up, there is a big shove in your back, the kind of pulling power you usually associate with a V8 petrol engine.
Audi isn't shy about the fact it has the most torque in its class - and that includes the likes of the V8-powered BMW 550i and Mercedes-Benz E500 (both 600Nm).
But while the Biturbo has the mid-range grunt to match a V8, it lacks the instant response you get with a big naturally aspirated engine. There is a hesitation as the turbos work up and deliver the kick, especially from low speed.
Having said that, once it does get going it builds speed very rapidly. In fact, it's the fastest-accelerating diesel vehicle on sale in Australia.
To deal with all the torque, the Biturbo models get the same eight-speed automatic that has won us over in the Volkswagen Touareg.
Having so many ratios has allowed Audi to space them out to get the maximum from the engine. It has closely stacked ratios in the lower gears for better acceleration, while the higher gears are taller for improved highway cruising.
The net result is claimed combined fuel consumption of 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres. An impressive number given the performance, especially when you consider the 550i uses 10.4L/100km and the E500 9.9L/100km.
On our limited urban test drive we saw an average of 8.8L/100km, which is a good real-world figure.
Another thing Audi is keen to highlight is the engine's soundtrack. The A6 and A7 use sound actuators mounted in the exhaust system to manipulate the engine note into the cabin.
Audi's lofty claim is that it makes it sound like a petrol V8, but that is a stretch. It does make a pleasant sound, growling under acceleration, and without any obvious diesel tractor-like rattle.
The rest of the drive experience is typical A6. Despite the engine's sporty performance, you wouldn't call the Biturbo a true sports sedan; instead the ride is comfortable and composed.
The steering weighting can be changed via the standard Audi drive-select system (between efficient, comfort and dynamic).
Ultimately, it lacks the feeling and feedback you get in a BMW 5-Series, but the added weighting in dynamic mode makes for a more engaging driving experience.
Audi prepared for the arrival of the Biturbo by repositioning the 3.0 TDI and 3.0 TFSI in January. The 3.0 TDI had $9000 shaved off the price to $107,500, while the 3.0 TFSI dropped $7000 and now starts at $114,000.
That leaves space for the Biturbo to come in at $118,800, slotting well below the S6 at $168,900.
Standard equipment on the Biturbo includes 18-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels; Audi drive-select; Audi music interface (but you need to pay $100 to get the unique cable to plug in your iPod); parking sensors and rear view camera; BOSE stereo; Bluetooth with audio streaming; keyless entry and ignition; sunroof; satnav with touch pad; and Milano leather seats and trim.
The A6 Biturbo is a good car at a good price, but in Australia, where there aren't any unrestricted autobahns, it is overkill when you can get plenty of performance, refinement, economy and value from the single-turbo 3.0 TDI.
Nuts and bolts
Price: $118,800 plus on-road and dealer costs
Engine: 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo diesel
Power: 230kW
Torque: 650Nm
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
Consumption: 6.4L/100km
Emissions: 169g/km

Rescuers were racing against time to save Sonu, the two-year-old boy who fell into a 150 ft deep borewell over 30 hours ago in Lehrakapura village in Agra [Images].
As the borewell was just one foot in diameter, army engineers have dug a parallel 55-ft tunnel to pull out the child, rescuers said.
"It will be extended by 5 ft or so and then a trench will be dug towards the borewell," they added.
However, rescue work hit a road block as the tunnel's depth posed a problem for the heavy machines to operate. Men have now been engaged to dig the rest of the tunnel.
The boy could still be alive although no movement had been noticed or any sound heard from him since two hours after he fell, doctors of the Sarojini Naidu Medical College who were on the site said.
Oxygen was being supplied to the boy through a pipe but rescuers were getting anxious with every passing minute as the water level in the borewell appeared to have reached his neck level. This is the second such incident in the district within four months. A two-year-old girl Vandana had fallen into a bore well and was rescued after over 26 hours of efforts.
In 2006, a kid named Prince fell into a borewell which was two-and-a-half feet in diameter. He was rescued after over two days of efforts, which were telecast live on almost all television channels.
President Pratibha Patil [Images] too has been anxious about Sonu's fate and has asked authorities to take steps to prevent such incidents which were on a rise.

RPGWatch Feature: D&D Tactics Review
View Single Post
September 29th, 2007, 18:16
Exhaustive or exhaust
As for handhelds, the world has changed quite a bit …
- The DS has sold more than 50 million as I note
. It is the fastest selling console of all
- The PSP has sold nearly 25 million systems - more than the XBOX or GameCube.
- The target audience for the PSP is pretty much 'console standard' - 16 - 24 single males. The DS is broadband targeted, but has wide appeal to non-gamers and kids as well as adults.
- The top selling PSP software are the two Grand Theft Auto games, a Need for Speed game, T-rated hack-n-slash Monster Hunter games, Star Wars Battlefront, SOCOM … in other words, the same stuff that sells on consoles. T and M dominated.
- The DS top sellers have Pokemon, Nintendogs, Mario Kart, Brain Training and so on.
As for turn-based games, the excellent DS strategy games Advanced Wars DS and Age of Empires: Age of Kings both did very well. (oh yeah, and Pokemon) And on the PSP there hasn't been a solid turn-based strategy game yet, everything has been mediocre and not done well. The turn-based RPG's have done pretty well on both platforms - Final Fantasy games or that style in particular.

Unlike what's being said in the media about global sanctions biting into the Iranian economy, my Iranian sister-in-law who has only last week returned to the US from a four month stay in Iran, tells me that you wouldn't notice anything different from pre-sanction Iran, in fact the shops everywhere in Tehran and the other major cities across the country are full of manufactured items of every description, and no shortage of produce in the markets.
I don't know from where they are getting this abundance, my guess is China and other nearby countries (probably even Israel) defying the UN sanctions.
The surprising comment she made was that on this trip to Iran it was noticed that people are resigned to the regime's ideology, but not necessarily agreeing with it, and therefore are happier in their everyday life.

- Russia denounces Obama Plan for Syria Air Strikes as Violation of Int'l Law
brian steward 09/12/2014 at 8:43 am with 6 replies
Israel is rated 13th in military strength internationally, without the nuclear option - has 187,000 active front-line personnel and 565,000 active reserve personnel, as well as 3870 tanks, 656 aircraft, 65 naval vessels and a military budget of $15, 209,000,000. So my question and thought on the matter is, why isn't Israel contributing to the Obama initiative on the eradication of Isis from it's neighbours and it's own borders.
When the perceived opponent is a weak entity living in a Israeli created ghetto armed with only bottle rockets and stones, the Israelis have no problem using their tremendous firepower without discrimination to attack on a pretext of security concerns.
- Night of Destiny in Palestine: A Third Uprising?
brian steward 07/25/2014 at 6:36 pm
I agree with you Nel! For the past week or so, most of the International news coverage, has been given to the Ukrainian plane disaster and the numerous daily interviews with the usual pundits.
The Gaza conflict seems to have taken a back seat to other world events that were important newsworthy items, but don't really need any further attention. So why is the ongoing brutal assaults on civilians by the Israeli government not taking precedence on our nightly news reports. Hundreds of innocent Palestinians have been killed since last week, and all I hear from the US newscasters are mainly interviews with Israelis and Sen. Kerry.

I see no difference between Bashar al-Assad (president of Syria) and Benjamin Netanyahu in the present indiscriminate shelling and bombing of civilians in Gaza, (glad to know that Israel hasn't used phosphorous in their shells/bombs this time around). So why hasn't the Israeli government been even a little of the condemnation that Syria receives for it's indiscriminate bombing tactics, much of it with little or no warning.
- ABC News' Diane Sawyer Mistakes Stricken Palestinians for Israelis
brian steward 07/14/2014 at 6:59 am
My thoughts on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are quite simply, the Palestinians are not terrorists in the strict sense, but they do have a legitimate agenda in their reaction to the Zionist theft of 'their' land and resources. I would equate the Palestinian fighters to the French resistance during WW2, unlike the Israeli Zionist government who are a self proclaimed expansionist entity, the Palestinians are doing what any other people would do for survival when faced with an unequal power that's trying to (successfully I might add) take away their ancestral land, livelihood, and aspirations for self determination.
If I were faced with the same situation with my family forced off our land, and made homeless after our house is bulldozed, then I too would join a resistance group and fire off a few hundred rockets, for the enemy to get the message that we don't want to be occupied with the eventual annexation of our land.
brian steward 07/12/2014 at 6:36 am
Also I suspect it's because traditionally women are known as the nurturers and givers of life, they raise the nation's future generations and are generally considered the weaker gender (well physically anyway).
The elderly of either gender should be considered one of the vulnerable in these situations, but to paraphrase the original responder, the equaliser, is 'a life is a life'.
brian steward 07/10/2014 at 7:13 am with 1 replies
If Dianne Sawyer is unable to distinguish between an Israeli woman and a hijab wearing Palestinian, then she definitely shouldn't be covering news from the the Middle-East, maybe ABC should stick to what they do best - celebrity news.

It was also stated on the morning news that the "shooter", no mention of the word "terrorist", had four explosive devices at his home. My question is, what is the difference between this potential massacre and that of the Boston massacre except that the deranged extremist wasn't a Muslim. It would seem that in America it is your particular religion that decides if you're a terrorist or just a shooter.

"British forebears' preference for fists and brawls as a form of social expression". Times have not changed and this is what I was referring to in my post, the Brit's propensity for violence, which can lead to deaths but not necessarily. Since my time living here in the US I've found your average American to be milder mannered and shall we say more civilised than my fellow countrymen (maybe the drinking habits should be taken into account).
An example I encountered a couple of years ago in a crowded London street market where a brawl erupted between two of the market traders, the men probably in their forties having exhausted their vocabulary of expletives started lashing out with their fists, scattering customers, blood streaming down their faces - it took a middle-aged woman to bring them to their senses as she chastised them in the manner of a annoyed mum to her ten year old.
Nope, I still prefer the quality of life in the US where my personal safety is concerned.

I am a Brit now living in the US, and I must say that while the UK has all but eliminated non sporting weapons from the general public I must agree with Bill that the Brits are a more aggressive people than your average American, the difference being that British violence is more 'in your face', in other words more personal since firearms are out of the question, (five years mandatory prison time for being caught with one for the first time) the weapon of choice is a knife or a brick - imagine if handguns were as easily available in the UK as in the US, I shudder to think.

- Did Religious Extremism drive 2 Million Egyptian youth to Unbelief?
brian steward 02/14/2014 at 12:03 pm
I've never thought of the Egyptians as being a particularly religious people, at least from my perspective.
I remember when working in the UAE with some Egyptian lads working under me during the month of Ramadan, they not only sneakingly drank bottles of Cola during the day to avoid being seen by devout local Muslims, but would come around to our villa at night asking to purchase a bottle or two of spirits, which were denied them by the authorities.
We, as non-Muslim foreign workers, were allowed a generous quota per month of alcohol to purchase from a government controlled liquor store run by a trusted Scottish entity of which I forget the name.
But some desperate expat Brit must have mentioned to the local Sheik that gin and hot climates go together.
So, I don't know if my experience is indicative of today's Egyptian youth, but it certainly surprised me.

Why have AIPAC not been designated as an agent of a foreign power since they represent only two percent of the of the U.S. population, but 100 percent of the Israeli Jewish population.
AIPAC lobbying is almost exclusively aimed at US foreign policy towards Israel, so it would seem to be very much in their interest to keep things the way they are, since if Israel made peace with it's Arab neighbours their raison d'etre would no longer exist resulting in a drying up of their donations.

An old, well maybe new, Irish proverb.
Just in case you were wondering, the last sentence is relevant to Professor Cole's article.
"Tax his tractor, tax his mule; tell him, taxing is the rule.
Tax his car, tax his gas, tax his food, tax his cash
Tax him good and let him know, that after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers, tax him more; tax him till he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave, tax the ground in which he's laid.
Put these words upon his tomb, "Taxes drove him to his doom."
Once he's gone, we won't relax, till we collect the inheritance tax."

John O'D, I'm an expat Brit living in the US for more than twenty years, and have never experienced human rights violations, or any disrespectful behaviour by any authority in this country.
That doesn't mean to say that I have never been charged with any infraction of the law (traffic violations) I have, but attitude and resistance to the implementation of the law goes a long way to how one is duly treated by police.
Of course the instances of errant behaviour by law enforcement do happen, no doubt, but are the exception rather than the rule.

brian steward 07/24/2013 at 10:43 am
As an Englishman living in the US, and having my eyes and ears violated by a constant stream of royal inanity. I'm surprised that the people of this great country, have taken away an essential freedom from me, ( I think it's in the Bill of Rights) the right to change TV channels without duress. I truly believe that more Americans are into matters of British Monarchy and love the Pomp and Circumstance surrounding it than most UK citizens - maybe that's because they don't have to pay for it. Oh, and by the way for those gamblers betting on the soon to be announced royal name, I believe it is being named after its grandfathers - Charles and Hewitt - so my bet's on Chewit!!
brian steward 07/24/2013 at 10:40 am
Actually I may be in favour of the Monarchy as long as we can execute some of them from time to time. Monarchy should always remember the ancient Shakespearian Aphorism "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown".

International travel isn't free, but public schooling is and libraries are, so that greatly diminishes the excuse factor for lacking experience with the world.
Also those that have the luxury and the time committed to worldly travel as genuine travellers as opposed to just being tourists, may well gain from that prospective of being in the position to form socially reactionary views.

Youths book another cup final spot with slick show
Conor Mccarney had a further chance for the Youths right on halftime but he shot just over from a narrow angle to leave the game goalless at half-time.
The secondhalf began as a heavy shower of rain mixed with hailstones came down.
Youths, however, simply moved up a few gears, totally dominating the play with wonderful passing and movement. They were duly rewarded on 52 minutes when Donal Shanley's cross was headed powerfully home by Gary Delaney. Three minutes later, it was Delaney who came close again as he unleashed a screamer from fully 35 metres out which hit the crossbar and went over.
Wexford then had a strong penalty claim waved away when Chris Fenner looked to have been taken down by the Bohs 'keeper, Adam Carroll, as he went for goal. From the resulting corner, Delaney rose highest to head the ball goalwards, only for Niall Daly to clear it off the line.
Wexford were really going for the kill and after 68 minutes, Donal Shanley's well-hit shot from 25 metres out zipped past Carroll in goal to make it a well-deserved 2-0 lead for Youths. Minutes later Shanley was involved again as he supplied the cross for Chris Fenner to slot home goal number three via the right-hand post.
In truth, Wexford could have had a few more goals before the end, but a 3-0 win in any semi-final is good going, particularly against a fancied Bohemians side who had clinched the Munster Youth Cup title on the previous weekend.
It was a real team performance with the second-half display being as fine an exhibition of football as one could wish to see. The Wexford players were deservedly given a generous round of applause from the home crowd as they came off the pitch.
Gary Delaney was probably the man of the match, with Donal Shanley and the industrious Conor Mccarney also outstanding. The match officials from Cork deserve praise too for a job well done, as they were hardly noticeable all through the match which is the way it should be.
Youths now have home advantage for the final against Mount Merrion of Dublin, probably on Saturday, May 12.

When I think of Blackberry – I think of the past, not the present or the future. I fondly think of Blackberry like I think of the Pager, the Walkman, and the Palm Pilot.
There was a time when just about anyone who was someone had a Blackberry. Not too long ago in fact. They were great devices. You could text, go out on the internet, and most importantly get your email! That along with their BBM Service (Blackberry Messaging) you could text your friend, loved ones, and co-workers… as long as they too had a Blackberry. It was a combination of PDA, Email, Internet, Multimedia Player, and Phone – all in one device!
Today though? They are thought of as antiquity, old, and even clumsy devices. Lets take a look and see what happened to a phone that went from having 30+% of the market share to now down to 13% (and tanking fast).
A Brief History of RIM/Blackberry
Although technically the first Blackberry device was created in Germany in 1999 (As a two way Pager Device). It wasn't until it was released in 2003 to the general populace that it exploded onto the market. This was one of the first devices that could send and receive emails, send internet faxes, listen to music, text, and of course send and receive phone calls.
RIM/Blackberry mainly focused on Email as it's top selling point. At the time it was a great decision as companies ate it up. They have always been known as a great device for receiving and sending emails – especially in corporate environments. Now from CEO's to Sales people they could all stay connected in "real time" and never miss another email.
When you think of Blackberry you think of the large easily accessible QWERTY Keyboard, Thumb Wheel (or trackball in later models), and the ability to easily "thumb" through everything on the device. People who had a blackberry were dubbed "Crackberry" users.
All was well and RIM/Blackberry was happily making a TON of money. So what happened?
Resting on RIMs Laurels?
Ignoring the Warning Signs?
Industry outsiders have been warning Blackberry/RIM for YEARS that they need to start thinking outside of the box. I would run across an article and chuckle to myself wondering if the company was ever going to try and break out of its comfort zone. I mean they had the Enterprise market for years – so why ruin a good thing right?
Technology Moving to Fast?
The problem is that technology in the smart phone market has flown by them and they had multiple opportunities to update and adapt, and they didn't. Instead they kept trying to re-invent the same wheel they had last year, and the year before that. Eventually they decided to try and keep up and fell flat on their face with the:
Blackberry Storm Failure
Back in 2008 RIM/Blackberry attempted to enter into the modern day touchscreen smartphone market. And it "awkward and dissapointing". (Source: PC World) It was a great concept and I remember the ton of advertisement for it trying to build up the hype.
But the realities were much different then the product they were trying to market. I remember the device as I had a 2nd Gen Apple iPhone at the time. It was horribly slow. The synaptic response was terrible, and it crashed repeatedly. Overall it was a frustrating experience. There was just no comparison to the Apple iPhone which it was attempting to compete with.
I don't know the issues behind the scenes but the glaring defects to me meant it went through a very QA life cycle and was pushed into production much sooner than it should have. If they had figured out how to get rid of the bugs and offered a smoother experience it could have been a decent phone for it's time.
I just looked on Verizon's site and they now have the Blackberry Torch with some very mid level specs: A 3.7″ 800×400 touch screen, 1.2ghz processor, Blackberry OS 7, and a 5 megapixel camera.
Considering you can even get today's top of the line Android even an iPhone 4S for about the same price (for a new contract) it would be crazy to even think of getting this device!
Enterprise Outage
Back in October 2011 I remember the day when all Blackberry devices suddenly died. Well the service did. Nobody was able to send or receive messages or emails. It was posted on Blackberry's website that it was a GLOBAL outage. That is pretty serious when an ENTIRE service is taken down. To me this is the final death knell for Blackberry. RIM/Blackberry lost consumer confidence and I know of at least one major company that has it's users switching to Apple iPhones in droves shortly after the outage.
But hey they did offer $100.00 in free software to try and say 'sorry'.
Other Serious Blunders
To add insult to injury RIM/Blackberry have been dealing with a serious of other blunders which have hurt their reputation even more if that was possible at this point!
- A man was stabbed at a Blackberry Party in London
- Two Blackberry Executives were kicked off an airplane for being too drunk. (I would be drunk too if I was in there shoes at this point.)
- They introduced the Blackberry Playbook – to lackluster sales and reviews.
- The rioting in London last year? Blackberrys BBM service was blamed for it spreading like wildfire.
- Hackers find a vulnerability in the Blackberry Webkit Browser
- Not to mention their 4th Quarter Earnings statement back in March 2012
Better Choices
There are a ton of better solutions for people now days. It does mean you will be going to either Android, Apple, or Windows for your new device. This could be a large learning curve coming from a Blackberry.
Google Android
The selection from Android alone will make your head spin. There are so many Android OS smart phones out on the market it could be a pretty daunting task on which phone to get.
My simple advice for choosing a smart phone:
- Choose your wireless provide carefully. I personally use AT&T because I get decent coverage where I live and I can live with the pricing. (That and a discount I get helps!)
- Figure out what features you want for your phone. If you coming from a Blackberry there are a few models that offer a slide out keyboard so you don't have to deal with a touch interface all the time.
- Make sure you read the fine print! Most contracts require a 2 year term with hefty fines if you decide to kill your plan early. That and you will be required to get a data plan. Although I haven't personally hit my 2 gig limit – I would suggest getting at least that. But remember, once you start streaming video/movies you could quickly go over your limit!
Apple iPhone
Apple has their iPhone 4 & 4S which of course is limited to just the two phones – but they offer a polished easy UI interface for those coming from a keyboard. The 4S even has its own built in assistant SIRI. Although users are having varying degrees of success with it.
Note: Android has VLINGO and Google is announcing a personal assistant software to be integrated into it's Android OS as well.
Apple iPhones are available on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Although I would stick with AT&T – if not for the service, but for the simple task you can actually use data and voice at the same time. Something Verizon neglects to tell you.
Windows Phone (Microsoft)
Windows is the newcomer to the smart phone market. We are just now starting to see some great devices from Nokia, HTC, and Samsung. The "Metro" tiles make it a pretty intuitive device. And if you know Microsoft they are all about integrating with their other products. This could be the business phone of choice in the near future as I'm sure it will probably be the easiest to integrate with Microsoft Outlook not to mention Windows 8.
But I don't know if it might be too late for Microsoft too?
Foreseeable Future for Blackberry/RIM?
At this point with their stock being the lowest it has been since 2003, the failure to inject new technologies into their devices, and the ongoing decline of business/personal users? I don't think RIM/Blackberry will be able to rise from the grave it dug for itself.
But at least it will be in the history books along with the Walkman, the Pager, and Palm Pilots! Let's see if it can either rise from the ashes or die a graceful death.
What do you think though? Can Blackberry rise from the ashes like the Phoenix, or will it continue its ongoing plunge into gadget history?

those DVD Read Error (324)" and ....garbled message that looks like overlapped words. indicate the need of cIOS36 or bad media. try to reinstall. check also cIOS249, IOS38, 53, 55 be good, too.
Well, I've gotten pretty far on my own I'd say. I have...
- Installed the homebrew channel using the twilight hack
- Downgraded my 3.4U to 3.2U
- Installed DVDx and the latest CIOS
Now I am stuck in a predicament . I have burned a few games to test the backup loaders (both gamma and beta), both return errors to me. Gamma says "DVD Read Error (324)" and beta gives me a garbled message that looks like overlapped words.
As well, I GOT the mplayer to play dvds... but they're in SPANISH! Both the menu for the mplayer and the movie's audio... why is this? And how do I change it?
And to mention, I got all of my files from links here and at WiiBrew, I use IMGburn to burn the images, and they are 1:1, no scrubbed images (and using dvd-r's). I am ALMOST there! And I havebeen able to install some WADs, but I don't yet have any VC or WiiWare wads to install yet, so I haven't tried those.
those DVD Read Error (324)" and ....garbled message that looks like overlapped words. indicate the need of cIOS36 or bad media. try to reinstall. check also cIOS249, IOS38, 53, 55 be good, too.
How do I check what cIOS versions I currently have? Also, I'm using Memorex DVD-R, burning at 4x (maybe 2x, but I can't remember). Next time I buy more DVD-Rs I'll go fo rthe Verbtim (sp?).
Oh, and I am fine with the WADs installing, got World of Goo on there just earlier
but that spanish is still bothering me... and all of the screenshots I see of the mplayer (and mplayer CE) are in english.
AnyTitle Deleter enables u check IOS/cIOS/System-menu in wii
u're having a good chance to be bilingual or even better
I tried installing cIOS36, but I'm getting the same error. I think it very well may be just bad media. I saw another thread where a guy couldn't load backups, but when he switched to Verbatim discs they suddenly worked.
Is the Wii just a really sensitive system and it's picky about the media used?
yes it is sensitive about the media.. i know a few friends who have had other -R discs work from sony and one other cant remember who but the most recommend i have ever heard is verbatim's -R and some have said using the datalifeplus by verbatim are the best because they have a coating to prevent oxidation i believe...
Alright, I got the 38, 55, and 58 all installed and I am still getting the read error. I'm just going to buy some Verbatim discs and let you guys know what happens after that (I need to restock on blank media anyways).
And I hate to ask this again, but does no one reallyknow how to change the language to English in the mplayer?
Mplayer download english version I had same problem...Ohh yeah and the dre definately better discs and new lens if discs dont work
I got in the Verbatim discs and guess what? It WORKED! The games ACTUALLY started loading! I've only done a few so far, but this is AWESOME.
Now all I need to do is get a movie plyer working, and in ENGLISH. I got another one on there (mplayer TT), which was in english, but kind of froze when I tried to play a DVD.

The Efron dice voting system
About 50 years ago, Efron noted some counterintuitive properties of the long-term behavior of contests involving dice. For instance, consider the 6-sided dice whose sides are labeled (4,4,4,4,0,0), (3,3,3,3,3,3), (6,6,2,2,2,2), and (5,5,5,1,1,1). Each die has a 2/3 probability of rolling a higher number than the next one in the list and the last has the same 2/3 probability of rolling a higher number than the first. The non-transitivity of games involving non-identical dice was popularized by Gardner (Sci Am, 223:110–114, 1970 ). Although Gardner and other authors have observed that non-transitive dice serve to illustrate the complexities of the theory of voting, it does not seem that much attention has been paid to the corresponding voting system. Our purpose in this article is to present this voting system and compare its properties with those of other voting systems. One of the most interesting properties is the fact that cancellation with respect to the Efron dice voting system can replace cancellation with respect to pairwise preferences in Young's characterization of the social choice function associated with the Borda Count.

Got a Seat Leon SE TDi (03). Which for some reason the rear nearside tyre is wearing excessively on the outside. (new tyres 3 months and its slick on the offending side) All other wheels are true to alignment as just has them checked. According to the Garage its a fixed axle with no adjustment to track the wheel back to alignment.
Before anyone asks, I haven't hit a kerb or any other object to warrant such wear, so thats ruled out. There is no knocking or play to suggest any bush wear. If it were bush wear this would be noticeable when driving ? also would the tyre not wear unevenly ?
Any ideas ?

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - At UCLA Medical Center, which prides itself on caring for critically ill patients, a recent study showed room for improvement in the way doctors manage dying patients -- and the findings likely apply to other hospitals as well, the researchers say.
While doctors excelled at pain control, they did less well at talking to patients and families about prognosis and goals of care. They were good about ordering comfort care, but not about follow-up to make sure the care was effective.
Lead author Dr. Anne Walling, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues analyzed the charts of 496 adults who were hospitalized at least three days before dying. The researchers assessed the patients' end-of-life care based on 13 quality indicators in three domains: eliciting goals of care, pain assessment and management, and assessment and management of dyspnea (difficulty breathing).
More than half of the patients were admitted to the hospital with end-stage disease, one-third required removal from mechanical ventilation before death and 15 percent died while receiving CPR.
Records showed that 85 percent of the patients were likely to die during the hospitalization, and 47 percent had "expected death" documented in their charts. One-third had mechanical ventilation discontinued before death, and 15 percent died during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Eighty-four percent had do-not-resuscitate orders, which were written on the day of death in 28 percent of cases and two days before in half of cases. Only 18 percent had advance directives prepared.
For 70 percent of the quality indicators studied, patients received recommended care.
Goals of care were addressed in a timely fashion about half the time, pain assessments were performed 94 percent of the time, and treatments for pain (95 percent) and dyspnea (87 percent) were given as recommended.
However, follow-up for distressing symptoms was performed less well than initial assessments, and only 29 percent of patients who had ventilation tubes removed before death were evaluated for dyspnea.
"The findings suggest much room for improvement in treating patients dying in the hospital," the investigators conclude.
Communication between doctors and patients or families at the beginning of intensive treatments is another area in need of improvement, they say.
While caregivers adhered "with fidelity" to patients' documented preferences for resuscitation and tube feeding, discussions about patient preferences on admission to the ICU or on starting mechanical ventilation were documented only half the time. Among patients who were expected to die, only 25 percent of those with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators had discussions about deactivating the device.
"I think that the overall message is that these aspects of care, communication and symptom management deserve the high level of attention given to other aspects of medical care," Walling told Reuters Health by e-mail.
"Many patients and families do not realize that just because doctors and hospitals can do something, it does not mean that they should."

My first pair of shrealing boots
When I was shopping for my first pair of shrealing boots, the first brand that popped up was Uggs. But there are so many counterfeit Uggs in Hong Kong. Being a hardcore Tory Burch fan, I decided to give it a shot and not surprisingly, they are perfect; I absolutely love them. Hong Kong is unusually cold these days; that means I can where them out without feeling weird! Yipee!

Background: Vancity needed a way to capture their knowledge capital and standardize product knowledge for staff.
Lambda developed online training modules that standardized their product training. Moodle was helpful in conducting employee pre and post-tests so that they would be directed to specific lessons most appropriate for their learning needs.
Our Newsletter editor asked Simon Fulber and his team the following questions about how the course, Building your Personal Financial Acumen has been received by employees.
It is always critical for a company to do follow-up evaluation and assessment on the products they produce. We wanted to learn how Vancity has adapted to using Moodle and to learn generally how the course was received by employees.
Have you received any verbal feedback or post-course evaluations on the course? If you could summarize the comments, what are the negative and positive remarks?
As the course belonged to part of a larger program, it was identified as the most valuable component by staff. Layout, easy to navigate, design (both visual and breakdown of content) as well as interactive features such as Activities and Tips seemed to resonate with our participants.
Difficulties around Log In process, Computer Requirements (resolution), and Navigation (links sometimes had to be double clicked to access) were mentioned, but were very minor and could be dealt with once participants spoke to our team of Field Trainers. In terms of Admin, other than minor glitches, the only challenging component is the Marking Scheme or Logic with Quizzes.
What was the process of developing the course like for your team?
Collaborating with Lambda Solutions on our Building Your Personal Financial Acumen program has been a very educational and effective experience for our whole team. From the Design, Development and Project Management perspective, Lambda was very flexible and adaptive to our needs. For some members of the team, this was their first eLearning project. I can safely say that it was a positive experience and Lambda staff really provided assistance, support and learning that will prove invaluable!
Has the course been easy to maintain thus far?
Overall, the course has been fairly easy to maintain and the members from Lambda have been very helpful when we have needed to figure things out. They have always made themselves available and have responded to all our questions and requests.
Have you been able to define a Return-on-investment (ROI) from this course?
At this point, we have not yet calculated an ROI on the program. We have been using the Building Your Personal Financial Acumen program as of last September and while we have some data that will formulate our ROI, we are not yet comfortable to share results.

Clinton Central American tour begins Monday
President Clinton is due to arrive in Nicaragua later today at the start of a four-day tour of the Central American countries hardest hit by Hurricane Mitch.
He's expected to visit the scene of the worst single disaster during the hurricane, the mudslide in Nicaragua which killed more than two-thousand people, and to highlight American efforts to help the region recover.
The United States has already spent more than three hundred million dollars on relief, and Mr Clinton has asked Congress to release almost a billion dollars more.
After visiting Nicaragua Mr Clinton will go to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, where the tour ends on Thursday with a summit of regional leaders in the town of Antigua. Meanwhile, a White House spokesman has said the stay on the deportation of illegal immigrants from Guatemala and El Salvador, due to end today, will not be extended.
