Ellern Deal Is Off, Announce Dankners
After 22 months, the Dankner family announced yesterday that the "Ellern deal" - one of the past two years' most talked about deals - has been canceled.
After 22 months, the Dankner family announced yesterday that the "Ellern deal" - one of the past two years' most talked about deals - has been canceled.
The restructuring of the family's holdings is dead, but it did its job for the Dankners. During the toughest two years the Israeli economy has seen in a long time, the "waiting period" allowed the banks to give the family breathing space, not demanding immediate repayment of loans.
As part of the deal, the six Dankner households were slated to sell to the Ellern group - two publicly traded companies controlled by two Dankner households - the controlling shares in Dor Chemicals, Dankner Investments and Israel Salt Industries for about NIS 1 billion.
The deal was slated to resolve the Dankner family members' personal liquidity problems, which stemmed from $100 million in loans, most from the family's primary financier, Bank Leumi.
But the deal, based on high premiums over market value, was widely criticized on financial markets for the risk it loaded onto minority shareholders and Ellern bondholders, as well as for Bank Leumi's involvement.
The deal's progress was rife with obstacles and Israel's financial crisis since 2002 threatened to wipe out the Dankner holdings. Even during 2003, when economic upturn was evident on the horizon, investors didn't stand in line to partner with the Dankners in a new holding company they hoped to establish.
The nail in the deal's coffin was a "going concern" warning tacked onto Dor Chemicals' international operations in its 2003 financial report, and Freddy Robinson's subsequent revocation of a commitment to buy Dor shares.
The deal's immense complexity, the obstacles it still faced and its already drawn out nature, led to its eventual collapse.
Nonetheless, the Dankners are in much better financial shape now, without the deal, than their situation at any time in the past two years when the deal still had a chance to close. Although they still have huge debt to service, the value of their assets has skyrocketed. Noteworthy is Bank Hapoalim, which celebrated the end of the recession by reporting huge profits and the return of its dividend distribution policy. The country's largest bank trades now at 5 percent above shareholders' equity, not far from the price Salt Industries paid for the share and better than any value the market has given it in the past two years.
Despite the improved value of their assets, the family still suffers from trouble withdrawing dividends, critical to repayment of its bank debt. The Dankners are therefore likely to refinance their tremendous debt to Bank Leumi for their purchase of Bank Hapoalim.

Here's the interview marking the beginning of Guy McPherson's tour or NZ.
Paul Henry who is a sort of climate change denialist (or would like to be) is ironically more intelligent and switched-on than all the liberals at RNZ who deal exclusively in omission and half-truths
Humans 'don't have 10 years' left thanks to climate change - scientist
By Breanna Barraclough
24 November, 2016
There's no point trying to fight climate change - we'll all be dead in the next decade and there's nothing we can do to stop it, a visiting scientist has claimed.
Guy McPherson, a biology professor at the University of Arizona, says the human destruction of our own habitat is leading towards the world's sixth mass extinction.
Instead of fighting, he says we should just embrace it and live life while we can.
"It's locked down, it's been locked in for a long time - we're in the midst of our sixth mass extinction," he told Paul Henry on Thursday.
Prof McPherson is in New Zealand on a speaking tour. His comments come just days after Climate Change Issues Minister Paula Bennett appointed a 10-strong team to advise the Government on how New Zealand can adapt to climate change.
Govt appoints experts to tackle NZ's climate change problems
But if Prof McPherson is right, it's a complete waste of time.
"I can't imagine there will be a human on the planet in 10 years," he said.
"We don't have 10 years. The problem is when I give a number like that, people think it's going to be business as usual until nine years [and] 364 days."
Part of the reason he's given up while other scientists fight on is because they're looking at individual parts, such as methane emissions and the melting ice in the Arctic, instead of the entire picture, he says.
"I would hate to use the word lying - I think it's far worse than that.
"We're heading for a temperature within that span that is at or near the highest temperature experienced on Earth in the last 2 billion years."

But it's not all doom and gloom. While Prof McPherson says we should give up on the hope of fixing the climate, it doesn't mean we should stop living while we can.
"I think hope is a horrible idea. Hope is wishful thinking. Hope is a bad idea - let's abandon that and get on with reality instead. Let's get on with living instead of wishing for the future that never comes.
"I encourage people to pursue excellence, to pursue love, to pursue what they love to do. I don't think these are crazy ideas, actually - and I also encourage people to remain calm because nothing is under control, certainly not under our control anyway."
New Zealand has been criticised for not doing enough to fight climate change, this month being awarded two Fossil of the Day awards at the 22nd annual UN Climate Change Conference in Marrakech.
The awards were over its failure to live up to its climate promises and continued use of "dodgy" carbon credits.

CARVALHO, Márcia F. C.; BLOCH, Katia V. and OLIVEIRA, Sheila K. F.. Quality of life of children and adolescents with rheumatic fever. J. Pediatr. (Rio J.) [online]. 2009, vol.85, n.5, pp.438-442. ISSN 0021-7557. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0021-75572009000500012.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of life of patients with rheumatic fever receiving outpatient treatment at two hospitals. METHODS: Cross-sectional study using the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) administered to the parents of 133 patients with rheumatic fever aged between 5 and 18 years. The scores of the several dimensions of the questionnaire were calculated and compared within the categories of clinical and sociodemographic variables using a nonparametric test. RESULTS: Patients' age ranged from 5 to 18 years old, with a mean age of 12 years and standard deviation of 2.8 years. The most common manifestation of the disease was articular symptoms associated with cardiac problems, present in 74 cases (56.1%). Most patients belonged to low-income families. Subjects had higher scores on the following concepts of the questionnaire: physical functioning, role/social-physical; role/social-emotional/behavioral; bodily pain; and family activities. The items with the lowest scores were: family cohesion; general health; global behavior; and parental impact-emotional. Girls had higher scores on: self-esteem; role/social-emotional/behavioral; and general health. Patients belonging to middle-income families had higher scores on: mental health; physical functioning; role/social-physical; and family activities. Children from the lowest social class had higher scores on bodily pain and psychosocial aspects. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of life of patients with rheumatic fever is similar to that of patients with other chronic diseases, showing intermediate scores on the several concepts included both in the physical and the psychosocial domains. Social class was the variable most frequently associated with the CHQ concepts.

Rick DiPietro's return to the Islanders finally may not be far away. The goalie was recalled by the team yesterday and will make the upcoming road trip, which starts tomorrow in Colorado.
The team has yet to determine when — or if — DiPietro will play on the three-game trip. He skated during practice yesterday and continues to feel good. He had not played in an NHL game in over a year because of a knee injury.
The 28-year-old played two full games with the team's AHL Bridgeport affiliate in the last week before his recall.

El Mahdy Jr. Album Release
The Spirit of Fucked Up Places. The jarring title of this album is totally fitting: the sonic adventures of El Mahdy Jr. are a spooky journey into an experimental soundscape which constantly hovers at the edges of violence and audio-cultural confusion. Born in Algeria, El Mahdy Jr. grew up (and currently resides) in Istanbul, Turkey, where his family relocated to escape the Algerian civil war in the 1990s. According to his label, Boomarm Nation, El Mahdy Jr. began his digital music compositions while bedridden with malaria in Burkina Faso, where he was working as a French-Arabic translator. On The Spirit of Fucked Up Places, he draws us into his feverish hallucinations. These eight tracks blend together like a series of half-forgotten dreams spread across several nights: slivers of disembodied voices and found sounds echo over glitchy, sporadic beats; sudden uprisings of almost familiar Algerian and Turkish songs and instrumental music are splintered into sonic textures that range from ragged and harsh to lush and ethereal. Whether inspired by current events or not, this album is a very fitting soundtrack to the current socio-political unrest in Turkey, North Africa, and throughout the Arab world. Respect to Boomarm Nation for putting this record out! You can stream the whole record from their Soundcloud right here: [soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/98278027" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /] Boomarm Nation is label based in Portland, OR, devoted to experimental Sound System music from around the world.

[Verse 1 - Technickel]
I be runnin all day and all night, G
Everybody think Im crazy, well I might be
Its funny how its all good, and shit take a turn
If you dont know about this, maybe you should learn
And I do this for my people
Cause all we tryna do is run away from evil
So that why I take tokes to tha dome, I smoke it alone
But my friends too broke for they own
Yeah, So I share with 'em, cause Im a nice dude
But alot of people hate cause Im a white dude
So I go home and roll another blizzy
And then another, 'til they sayin "He ain't gonna smoke another, is he?"
I just do that to run from my trouble
When I should meet it head on, but I just hope my luck'll--
Change, before Im too deep in this shit
Because it seems like Im runnin from tha reaper and shit
[Verse 2 - D.R.B.]
Got to stop runnin' from my problems and face 'em head-up
Like steppin' up to a bully on the playground or a bully on the bus
Awhile back all the niggas and bitches used to give me buck
That's what happens when a odd nigga goes to school full of white motherfucks
I'm not a racist nor a pacifist but i'll confess to the fact that I have some hate
And it's not entirely due to the bullshit I endured for being overweight
I got psoriasis, yeah freshman year wasn't the best, neither was seventh or eight
I got other problems to bitch 'bout but i'll leave it for later so listen and wait
I'd like to give a shout-out to the motherfuckers that contributed to my pain
Don't wanna put these people on the spot so let me abbreviate
TC, NZ, BJ, LG, and FDA
I could add some more motherfuckers but the list is too long to say
I learned to cope with the pain that's been built inside
I do my own shit, you can't count on others so for myself I ride
If you prove yourself worthless i'll leave your bitch ass behind
I'm 14 still a virgin but I'll say fuck the world til the day I die
Technickel and D.R.B. rap over the instrumental to Runnin' by the Pharcyde.

CDS News - Chemical Database provision from Daresbury
[updated 15 Oct 2013]
The EPSRC Chemical Database Service at Daresbury ceased operation as a full national service 02/01/13. We regret to announce that we have been required to disable general user access to the component databases from that date forward.
The provider selected by the EPSRC, the Royal Society of Chemistry, has taken over provision. It committed to putting a provisional service in place after 02/01/13.
Daresbury contines to provide a limited Chemical Database Service. This includes CrystalWorks access to the major small molecule and material crystallographic database. The is provided via a sub-contractual arrangement with the RSC.
It is to be expected that the RSC service will meet the requirements of the sort of coverage deemed essential in the Chemical Database Facility Statement of Need (check via the
menu bar
above this box). A link to the RSC/CDS site is also given.
CrystalWorks is now available to CDS/DL registered users
See details below:
Item added 15/10/13
CrystalWorks is now available available via the NCDS/RSC portal
Item added 10/10/13
CrystalWorks is available to all registered users
CrystalWorks has now been restored to all CDS/DL registered users via the STFC Chemical Database Service at Daresbury.
It is also planned to make CrystalWorks available via the NCDS/RSC portal quite soon.
Item added 01/05/13
General access to CrystalWorks will cease 10/5/13
General user access to CrystalWorks will cease on 10/5/13. Access to the "demonstration" version of the system will, however, continue.
Full CrystalWeb search function will continue to be available to registered users who are within the STFC network domain.
Item added 08/03/13
Full CrystalWorks facilities have been reinstated
Full CrystalWorks facilities have been reinstated via the Daresbury server. Unfortunately we can only guarantee general access until the end of March 2013.
Item added 02/01/13
General database access via Daresbury ceases 2nd January 2013
All new login database access for off-site users should now have been disabled. Users who were already logged in beforehand may find that they retain access in their current session. Such access will, however, timeout after a period.
Please note that access within the STFC domain will continue for a further period, which will be subject to review. The STFC domain basically includes the Daresbury and Rutherford sites as well as the Diamond Light Source.
Please note that STFC access is available to
usernames - it includes visitors to STFC/Diamond facilities and is not restricted to those registered with a specific STFC username. For this reason all current usernames will be retained on the Daresbury server for a period at least. The CDS/DL website will also remain in place.
We are also exploring the possibility of restoring general access to a limited range of facilities. This is only likely to happen if there is a proven need after the RSC service is in place. Also an adequate funding source will need to be found.
The RSC have announced that their service will be in place from 2/1/13
The RSC service is scheduled to commence operation. Established users of the Daresbury Service and prospective users of the new service should access the RSC/CDS web site:
Item added 20/12/12
An FAQ section has now been added to the RSC-CDS web site (see
menu bar
above) which gives further details about databases and access mechanisms.
We understand that there may have been some misunderstanding about the transfer of usernames passwords, and saved data from CDS/DL to CDS/RSC. In reality we received a very recent request from the RSC asking us to make a global transfer of such information. Clearly this would have been totally impossible if were to abide by Data Protection legislation.
The CDS/DL servers will no longer be supported under our contract with the EPSRC beyond 31st December 2012. However, if you find that you have any important research data resident on the DL system beyond that point we will endeavour to make arrangements for it to be transferred to you personally if you contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com
Item added 18/12/12
We have been lead to believe that the RSC intend to add an FAQ section to their web site which will also eventually provide access to their proposed services (for link to the web site see
menu bar
Item added 17/12/12
Details of the RSC service are appearing via Chemistry World
The RSC is providing some details of hoped for functionality of their proposed service via the comments section of a recent article appearing on the
Chemistry World
To keep abreast with this emerging information please access this article, which is entitled "RSC to launch new Chemical Database Service", (see
menu bar
above). The comments section following the article would appear to be a good place to view queries and comments from the community and any responses from the RSC. Also note that the CDS-UK Discussion List remains open. You can also add your comments there (also see
menu bar
If you have any concerns you are strongly encouraged to add your own queries and comments at the Chemistry World site and/or the CDS-UK discussion list (also see
menu bar
The CDS at Daresbury website will remain accessible after 02/01/13 as a vehicle for providing any future information should it become available.
Item added 11/12/12
There are some brief details of the proposed RSC service
We have recently been informed of the
web site
set up by the RSC which gives some details of the facilities which they expect to have available in their service at its inception. You are invited to inspect this link.
Item added 11/12/12
User access to databases ceases 02/01/13
As things stand all user access to the databases currently available via the EPSRC Chemical Database Service at Darebury will cease on the 2nd of January 2013.
We still have not been given any information about details of the RSC service other than the statement that it will begin operation on the 2nd January.
A fully functioning Service at Daresbury will operate until 2nd January, but will be running unattended over the Christmas period (24th December - 1st January).
Item added 30/11/12
As yet the CDS team has received no contact with regard to details of proposed transfer arrangements to the new service to be provided by the RSC.
We have sent out another
broadcast message
to all registered CDS users.
Item added 22/11/12
As things stand user access to the Daresbury Service will end shortly
Funding from the EPSRC for the Chemical Database Service at Daresbury ceases at the end of December 2012. There remains the distinct probability that we will not be able to provide user access beyond that point.
We have send out a recent
broadcast message
to all registered CDS users.
Item added 05/11/12
We still await further news
We apologise for the continuing lack of firm information of progress in the proposed hand over of operation of the CDS to the current preferred bidder.
We also have not been provided with any meaningful information on the nature and scope of the service on offer from the RSC. However, we have reasons to believe that it is likely to be
significantly different
from what is currently being provided.
We have been informed by the EPSRC that they are pursuing all avenues in an effort to facilitate the process.
Item added 30/10/12
We are still unable to provide more hard information about any hand over arrangements for the Service. Please accept our further apologies.
We appreciate that users may have concerns about this matter, but unfortunately we are still subject to circumstances beyond the control of members the current CDS team.
Item added 23/10/12
We await details of the new Service
We apologise for delay in providing details about the transfer of the Service. There are apparently some current legal issues which need to be resolved before we can be provided with more information to be passed on to the community.
Hopefully we will be able to post further information very soon
Item added 07/09/12
The EPSRC has given permission for the released the name of the
Preferred Bidder
in its Tender Exercise to provide future Chemical Database Facilities for the UK community. The successfully bidder is the Royal Society of Chemistry. Some further details are also given in the boxes at the head of this Newsfile.
The decision to select the RSC was, in fact, made early to mid August. The contact person within the EPSRC is
Martin Sweet
. The CDS
at Daresbury is also happy to provide any further clarification if we can.
The current CDS team is clearly disappointed that the contract for continued service provision has been awarded elsewhere, but hope to be able to cooperate to provide a smooth transfer and so minimise any disruption for the user community. We have been informed by the EPSRC that they expect the RSC to have a fully functioning service in place by 1st January 2013.

Nansemond River is Hampton Roads' unknown treasure
SUFFOLK, Va. -- If you're a Civil War buff, do we have a course for you!
The Tidewater section of Virginia is loaded with Civil War museums, memorabilia and battlegrounds, but you don't often find historic sites on a golf course. Nansemond River Golf Club in Suffolk breaks that mold because of the nine archeological sites on the grounds.
The area looks much like it did in the 1860s, thanks to some expert routing from architect Tom Steele. The artifacts are preserved, and in many cases marked for golfers to see. Take the earthen fort that the Confederate soldiers guarded by No. 13. Union gunboats circled around to the river banks at No. 4 and sneaked into the Confederate camp without a shot being fired. In the end, 167 Confederate soldiers surrendered without a fight.
Back then, it was called the Battle at Fort Huge.
"It took a little more thinking to get the routing correct," says Steele, who also designed Kilmarlic Golf Club in Harbinger, N.C., on the Outer Banks. "I worked hard to preserve them all. There were Indian villages and Civil War aspects that all needed to be taken into account. I tried to fit the holes in with the landscape."
When Steele finished his first work just three years ago, what was left was one of the finer waterfront golf courses in the Middle Atlantic. The club offers more than three miles of riverfront and 14 holes on the water, including the natural island green on No. 17. There are five natural greens on the course, which is spread along bluffs overlooking the Nansemond River. It's a beautiful layout, but at 7,337 yards it can be a killer.
Washington Golf Monthly has included it in its "Top 100 Courses in the Middle Atlantic" since the club opened in 1999.
"Steele used the land the way he found it, but that means the wind affects it a lot," head pro Mark Lambert says, "but it's a fair test of golf. The better the player, the more they will enjoy this course."
Steele wants golfers to be challenged, and he says there are 20 other courses in the area where good players can play driver, wedge and two putts.
"My goal was to put together a facility where the top player must go through the bag," Steele says. "They can start with the $500 driver and work all the way through the bag, and be tested the whole way. I love the challenges of different shot values."
To illustrate this, look no further than the par 3s, which play 248, 240, 175 and 132 yards.
The test is holding up, because the course record is just 68. What one man calls a test, another might call unfair.
"Good players don't think we have a bad hole here," says Lambert. "I think No. 5 is a great golf hole, but it will definitely test you. You have the river to the left and two marshes to navigate, and that can be very satisfying if you do it correctly."
The 17th is an intriguing, short par 4 played to a peninsula/island green. The tee shot, played with a mid-iron, must be placed in the fairway to avoid the punishing three-inch rough and to set up a good approach to the green. Picking the correct club on the downhill approach is critical. Depending on the wind, you could be hitting wedge from 150 yards out or a 7 iron from just 100. Pick the correct one, and you'll love this hole. But if you drown your second shot, or aren't in a good spot off the tee, you'll be cussing it.
Once on the green, you still have to deal with interesting slopes. A right front pin placement can make the knees shake on the best golfers.
"A lot of the members think this is unfair, but it's not unfair if you are on the green," says Lambert.
"There was a little spit of land jutting into the lake," Steele says. "I wondered if I could make it a green surrounded by water. Some people really like how it turned out, and others think otherwise."
The club, just 20 minutes from downtown Norfolk, is gaining notice as a place the best golfers can be tested. It is not a high profile course, but it has high profile shot values. Consider that in just three years Nansemond River, which is being rated by Golf Digest for inclusion in the 2004 top 100, has hosted the Virginia State Golf Association Team Championship, the National AAU Championship and the Middle Atlantic PGA Assistants Championship.
It is gaining notice, and it'll only get better with age.
"In the next three or four years, this will be one of the area's best courses," predicts Steele, who has 25 years' experience as a landscape architect.
"This course has the best scenery and the best landscape in the entire Tidewater area. It's not easy, though, and you really have to think your way around."

More than once, the South Pacific has puzzled organizers of the Billabong Pro Tahiti. Instead of ghastly Teahupo'o caves there's been a series of lacklustre waiting periods (and secretly relieved competitors) — but not this year. Even before the Top 34 began packing for their Air Tahiti flights there was buzz about a monster, a real Chopes swell, inching its way up the satellite screen. Two weeks away. One week.
Kelly Slater brought to Teahupo'o momentum from his US Open win just prior. Bruce Irons brought the memory of his brother, who won this event — Andy's last — in 2010. The rest brought pintails and steel nerves as Tahiti truly, finally, lived up to its reputation in time for the contest.
What followed was far more memorable than any scores, ratings or prize money.

ACLU Supports KKK Right to 'Adopt' Portion of Highway
The American Civil Liberties Union – often seen as a staunch defender of liberal civil rights cases – announced on Tuesday they are coming to the rescue of a local Ku Klux Klan chapter in their effort to "adopt" a portion of a Georgia highway.
What may be seen as an unlikely union began two weeks ago when the Georgia Department of Transportation turned down a May 21 application by KKK leader Harley Hanson to support the clean-up efforts of a state highway in Union County.
Civil and educational groups, along with individuals, oftentimes "adopt" a portion of a highway, promising to occasionally pick up litter along the roadside.
Hanson, who filed the application along with his wife, lives in Fannin County, which borders the stretch of highway in Union County that the group offered to adopt. The local chapter of the International Keystone Knights of the KKK said at least six volunteers would be available for roadside clean-up but it is not clear how many members the KKK group has.
When contacted by a Georgia newspaper, Hanson refused to provide such information.
"We don't know why they picked Union County," County Commissioner Lamar Paris told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "They could have easily chosen the last mile of Fannin County as opposed to the first mile in Union County."
However, Debbie Seagraves, who heads up the ACLU's Georgia office, says she is not sure the location of the highway chosen is the issue. "It has not been a matter of discussion as far as I am concerned," Seagraves told the AJC. Instead, she says the ACLU considers this a First Amendment issue, but they refused to discuss the case in any detail.
"Yes, we are representing them, but we are still working on the strategy," she said.
The Georgia Department of Transportation said the primary reason for rejecting the KKK's application was their history of violence against blacks and other minority groups, and that program formed to help maintain the state's roadsides was available only to "civic-minded organizations in good standing."
However, Commissioner Paris maintained that the county does not need or want the assistance of the KKK group from their neighboring county.
"We have a great county and a good infrastructure. We don't need a controversy from a group who is claiming to want to pick up our trash. We are fully capable of picking up our own trash."

Do you want to keep the design of your dental office hip and trendy and not sure what color you should be using? Well, all sources say the trending color for 2013 into 2014 is blue. Forget cool, blue is HOT! Both Pantone, the leading source on all things color and CMG both are seeing blue leading the charge in 2014. CMG's "Color Lust" sees blue in everything: reds with a hint of blue; greens with a hint of blue; and what they are calling Re-Blue (is that blue with a hint of blue?).
Check out all of the amazing blue-on-blue images at Pantone that depict this blue trend. Coincidentally, the color swatch here is a glass mosaic from Daltile that we've used recently in a restroom design. Guess we've got our fingers on the pulse of current trends.

Small College Bans National Anthem – Again
A small pacifist college in Indiana has decided to return to its long standing tradition of not playing or singing the National Anthem at sporting events.
Goshen College is supported by the Mennonite Church, and it started allowing the anthem for the first time in its history just a few months ago. This was an effort to make students and visitors from outside the school's faith feel more welcome.
The 1,000-student college has been playing an instrumental version of the anthem before games and other events, but after a flood of complaints, the anthem has been banned again.
Many Goshen students and alumni say the Star Spangled Banner's lyrics and militaristic images glorify war, and undermine their church's Christian beliefs by putting love of country above love for God.
Art professor John Blosser tells The Goshen News there is national pride at Goshen, but most people there aren't going to blindly accept what the country does.
via Goshen College Bans National Anthem At Sporting Events : The Two-Way : NPR.
Goshen College's board of directors says it will find an alternative that honors the country and the Mennonite Church-affiliated school's pacifist traditions.

The US Navy's Bluefin-21 was recalled for a short while after developing a technical fault but was re-deployed after the issue was resolved.
While on the surface data it had gathered was downloaded and analysed, and no sign of flight MH370 was found.
The Boeing 777 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board more than five weeks ago.
Investigators believe it crashed in the southern Indian Ocean but they do not know why.
The submarine's first mission was aborted after six hours on Monday because the ocean waters where it was sent were too deep.
The unmanned sub is programmed to hover 30 metres (100ft) above the ocean floor, but during its descent it began searching a patch that was deeper than its maximum operating depth of 4,500 metres (15,000ft).
A built-in safety feature returned it to the surface and there was no damage to the submarine.
Eleven military planes and three civilian aircraft are searching a 21,000 square mile (55,000 square km) area of ocean centred 1,300 miles (2,000km) northwest of Perth. Eleven ships are also involved.
Isolated showers are forecast in the search area, with sea swells of up to two metres and visibility of three miles (five kilometres).
With no sign yet of any wreckage from the jet despite weeks of searching, authorities have acknowledged that the days of the surface hunt are numbered.
The focus now has moved under the waves.
The submarine is programmed to take 24 hours to finish each mission: two hours to get to the bottom, 16 hours to search the sea floor, two hours to return and then a further four hours to upload the data.
It can create a three-dimensional sonar map of any debris on the ocean floor.
But this could prove challenging because the seabed is covered in silt that could potentially cover wreckage.

Brief Review of The Syma S032
This is the Big Brother of The Syma S107-My Review.
This is not a little Bird. This is something different To A Syma S107.
As you guys know I am a Syma Freak with all the Syma Helicopters and could not help myself but buy the big brother of the Syma S107-The Syma S032. So decided to post a brief review on the big Brother S032.
I feel will start off with the specs on this helicopter and then move on to my review of the Syma S032.
Specification of the Syma S032
* Alloy structure, unique design
* Electronic fine-tuning, flying more stable
* All-round 3 channel control
* Advanced intelligent balance system
* New digital full 3D control remotely with power saving mode.
* Full function: up/down, forward/backward, turning left and right, fixed-point hovering.
* Product size:305mmx72mmx150mm
* Flying time: approx 12min
* Flying height: approx 50m
* Control range: 100m
* Charging time: 150-180 min
* Battery: 3.7v 500mah
* Battery for transmitter: 4 x AA (not included)
* Frequency: 27mhz/40mhz/49mhz
* Age: 14+
* Net weight: 1.7kg
That is just the start, this is a much bigger heli than a Syma S107 as you can see by the specifications above. More Below
Bad points of the Syma S032
1: I feel very much even tho the 032 Syma is faster due to bigger rear tail motor it is not a complete out door heli-It must be a real calm day no wind to fly this big bird.Was hoping to fly in hurricanes-lol
2: Know I am fussy but would like to have seen spare rotor blades in the deal package.
3: No USB charging like the Syma S107 and takes 40 minutes to charge from wall charger.
5: When the motors get hot, they draw more amps and that's when the board stops working and the radio contact is lost and the heli drops. Do not fly more than 8- 10 minutes even tho can go for 15 mins-just my view.
6: Instructions written poorly in manual-guess trying to translate from Chinese to English.
Not many problems yet but only had 12 flights-Flying this heli every day I will post on any other bad points I find.
Good Points of Syma S032
1: Much better remote than the Syma S107 as not infra-red which is a plus for flying outside - photo below
2: The S032 hovers really well with a small bit of forward slide. the Syma helicopters are well made. Outdoor flying for the Syma S032 is doable but stay out of heavy winds. It can fly a fair way from you on a calm day and you still have control.
3: The battery life is about 10-15 mins. depending on how much you use the throttle it. Charges with in 40 mins. It is 12 inches long, 6 inches tall, about 2 inches wide. Has awesome powder fleck paint.
I have decided to keep this as brief as possible with out bashing how good this Syma S032 is as you know me as a lover of the (Syma S107 (Review)
I feel this could be a great plus if your already have a Syma S107. The Syma S032 will fly outside on a calm day. It is not really expensive to buy, but I ask the question of what are your needs for a bigger heli- Hey guys not trying to put you off the Syma S032 it is a cool big bird-However if you are just starting off flying mini helicopters to me stick with the Syma S107: It is a well proven heli- Just have my doubts about the Syma S032 as really just the same parts and concept but just bigger: Look really open to comments on this- Post below.
I own a Syma S032 but guess got into the S107 for indoor flying, so you might see not as enthusiastic on the bigger brother Syma S032. Hey this is just my feel about it-do your research. If this was my first heli to buy I would be wrapped-however bought the Syma S107 first.
12/28/: Syma 032 Update:
Well over the Christmas period really hammered the Syma So32: I have to say I got some really good outdoor flights on calm days, and got a small crowd around me in the local park-thank God I did not have a crash!-Tried my spy key chain camera attached with Velcro on the S032, not really very successful as balance was a problem so no really good videos to show yet-All in all have got a liking to this big bird-More reports soon
01/02/ Syma 032 Update
I am 90% wrapped in the Syma 032, the only thing that bugs me is the charging time around 30- 40 mins, guess I should buy two-like I have around 11 Syma S107 helicopters so there is one always charged ready to fly. Would like to see Syma organize removable lipo batteries like some of my other makes of helicopters like the Nine Eagles-however prices then jump up.
30th Jan Syma S032G UPDATE:
I noted that I have a older model Syma S032 that has the smaller 11.8cm blades the latest version has 14.1cm blades. So I bought some from Amazon and put them on my old model-The change was amazing-lifted off with less throttle and control was greatly improved, also means less chance of burning out motors and noticed longer flying time less throttle, really worth the upgrade for around $6.
Hey Guys just bought the biggest big brother to the Syma S032G- The Syma S031G
Review now on the S031G -I bought the Syma S031G from Amazon
All in all I would buy the Syma S107 first, then add the 032G to your army of helicopters.

Great Video emailed to me from Jamie also fix for motor cut out.
"Thought you may be interested in my S032g video."
I have two S032g's (both 27Mhz) and they both used to suffer from "motor stop" - ahhh.
Problem for me was solved by extending aerial in full to hang below.
Also had noise problems with 808 camera,
the S032g would fail to start, solved by wrapping camera in aluminum foil.

I purchased this plane for my grandson for Christmas. He's 14 years old. We set it all up and tried it. Guess what, it wouldn't fly. Everything looked like it was ready to go. Battery was charged. New batteries in the RC. When we tried to start it, the darn thing wouldn't get in the air. If we touched the wire on the ski with the tip of the antenna, the props would rotate but not enough power to take off. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong with this helicopter. We are not in a position to return it so it would be nice if this is a easy fix. Thanks!

I also got your email-Ok let us go thru a few things.
1. Have you done anything with the wire antenna on heli,as un wind it from skid and hang it down to see
if picks up signal better,if so tie to other landing skid but leave a bit dangle down
2.Kiosk in the mall in Brandon, Manitoba is where you bought it by your email,have you contacted them?
you should before we go into touching the heli.
3. check battery connections in remote are connecting with batteries ok not shorting out.
4. just some times buying from malls do not sell you a genuine Syma,not saying that is the case
but there are fakes out there.
5. How did you charge heli?Could be heli just not charged fully
6. Just going through a few things to determine problem.
7. Feel there might be a bad solder joint on the mother board or remote
Keep us posted
saying about the battery not being charged fully give me one though... kiosks might have helis made last year, but never flown. If you have to keep the battery fully charged normally, what does that say about this? A new battery never charged, so it's possable that it would be a cooked battery right off the bat, and as such, would also explain a number of the "is my s107 DOA?" threads.
To me, sounds like CLASSIC antenna being bad.
(the worst I've seen was an rc PT cruiser I had as a kid came without the antenna for the remote. FAIL. Worked if I jammed the plastic ting to hold up the antenna for the car in where the real antenna was supposed to be...)
Considering I'm driving my mom's 1990 Olds Cutlas Ciera to school...
And, I'm looking into buying about a 95-97 Jeep Wrangler...
PT's were awesome to look at, HHR's are just plain awesome, but they all have the classic problems of the cars they were trying to emulate. Rented one a few years ago, and it just sucked. I didn't actually drive it, wayyyyy too long then, but it was just horrible to ride in down the highway.
The bright side is, now I know what it's like to be in a B-29!!!
Hi I just own this Copter and I faced a major problem from the first minutes the motors stops for very small time less than second and the copter drops and gain immediately height this happen 4-5times within the 7minutes flight .Can you have any idea what about ?Its difficult to say that this happen due to motor warm up because from the first minute this happen
Have you unwound the ariel
Have you primed the transmitter ie switched it on and moved all the sticks to all full positions BEFORE switching on heli
Have you after doing that switched on the heli placed it on a flat surface and waited until the green led stops flashing.
Apparently unless you do this odd things can happen
Having flown the 032 for some time now, I have found that cooler weather will eliminate most of the loss of power while flying.This would suggest that motor heat does affect the operation.One thing that I can't do is wrap all the antenna wire on the skid.Leave about six inches free to drag below the frame while flying.Do not try to hook it to the tail boom.Let it float.This is a fun mid-size copter and fun to just bomb around the field.Enjoy
I would like to thank you all for your help I'll do everything you advise me but the problem continues so I send an email to Syma and after two days changing mails and advise Syma decided to send another one with the transmitter but I have to pay the post this cost me 15 US dollars so I pay this cost and I'm waiting for the new copter.Thanks to Syma was a good decision but to pay the shipping cost for a defected copter was not acceptable by no one .
Nickden..I reckon you have got a great deal from the Syma company if they are sending you a new heli with transmitter for $15..consider this,,I sold used cars for 33 years and bought many back from unhappy buyers to find nothing wrong with them and resold to others that were happy with the car--have you had to send old crashed heli back? if not then you still have it for spares,, if the same problem with new heli,thinks the pilot might be doing something wrong..let us know when you get new one..and where was the old one bought from if faulty..?

From a point of you are ok but take into consideration that I pre- paid the cost of this copter two months ago and I pay the extra 15 US without having working properly the already paid copter.The Symas management decided after my videos that the copter was defected.Tanks to Syma for this decision.When I will receive the new one I will proof to you my pilot skills
You have done a great deal--I was only being cheeky about your flying skills..your videos show you fly well..was more interested that the Syma factory got involved and helped--did you buy original heli from Amazon? Keep us posted when you get new heli and what you think is wrong with old one..
I never buy anything from amazon because the price are not good also to Greece they charge shipping Syma products I'm buying directly from Syma shop free shipping .Dont you know this buying possibility? Apart from the copter I feel this was defected from the factory,the same opinion agree the service of Syma as well after watching my videos proof what I was expressed in my mails .I will info you when new copter arrive in my hands

The Syma factory company does not sell direct to the public..called them today and many times over 2 years ..I am at a loss to understand if you bought direct from Syma..my view is you bought from Banggood as you keep expressing that is a dealer not Syma..to me important to verify as there is also a agent in the USA that sell Syma helis..This factor of buying direct from the Syma company is crucial to know if that is correct as you can imagine all the dealers that have bought areas,franchises from Syma to be screwed that you say you buy direct from Syma this is there site http://www.symatoys.com/ did you buy direct from them???
http://www.symatoystore.com/ this is the correct site address you mean that is a fake one ? Please advise me
Sorry to go on but this is the SYMA FACTORY SITE
not http://www.symatoy.com/ complete difference-- just a con of leaving out the s on domain name--yezz
nickden said
http://www.symatoystore.com/ this is the correct site address you mean that is a fake one ? Please advise me
YES FAKE not Syma company--yooo
this is the real go
hell i am shutting down to have a whiskey.take care buddy...but just remember all the info on this site for free from some unique guys.check it out..that is the whole point of this forum and you have given great advice to all..how great is that..all things we talk about many are learning..so we help with our mistakes==love u take care..
I am sure 100 per cent that this is not fake the copters selling this site (symatoystore) perhaps it's a site selling Syma products in a good price.To be sure of that buy one product from them and after your test of this product make your finall and real decision .I would like to announce you that I'm stoping to upload anything in your dictatorship site bye bye

Six percent service charge imposed on all Abu Dhabi hotels
A recent move by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) to implement a 6 percent service charge at all local hotels and service apartments in Abu Dhabi beginning next year has evoked mixed reactions from hoteliers across the emirate.
ADTA reportedly notified all hotels and service apartments in the capital that beginning January 1, 2007, they will be required to pay 6 per cent of their service charge as tourism fees, according to Gulf News.
Currently, hotels and service apartments pay no fees to the Abu Dhabi Municipality, whereas in Dubai, hotels pay 10 per cent of their service charge to the local Municipality. Abu Dhabi hotels, however, do charge a 16 percent service charge on hotel bills.
"Six per cent is a reasonable amount to charge and this will come back to the hotels in other forms because the tourism authority is promoting tourism and bringing in visitors," stated Head of Licensing of the ADTA, Nasser Al Reyami.
"For the past several years, hotels in Abu Dhabi paid nothing to the Municipality. Now hotels and travel agencies come under the tourism authority," he added.
Industry executives such as Ghassan Aridi, Chief Executive of one of the largest destination management companies in the UAE, Alpha Tours, said the new fees on hotels will impact them positively as long as it remains 6 per cent and does not exceed 10 per cent.
"Such a move will not affect the business of hotels. In fact it will have a positive effect as the fees paid will be used by ADTA for promotions and marketing support and this will lead to indirect benefits to hotels," said Aridi.

TeXSave["datei.tex", notebook] speichert eine TeX-Version des Notebooks, das dem spezifizierten Notebook-Objekt entspricht.
TeXSave hat Optionen, mit denen Eigenschaften spezifiziert werden können, wie man zum Beispiel Grafik mit-einbezieht, welches TeX-Format zu verwenden ist, und wie jeder Notebook-Stil in TeX dargestellt werden soll.
Auf TeXSave kann häufig über den Menübefehl Speichern unter (spezial) (Save As Special) in der Notebook-Benutzeroberfläche zugegriffen werden.
Siehe Anmerkungen zu TeXForm.
Siehe Das Mathematica Buch: 1.11.6.
Siehe auch: TeXForm, HTMLSave.
Additional Information
User Interface
In addition to being able to convert individual expressions to TeX, Mathematica also provides capabilities for translating complete notebooks and their subexpressions. The conversion is done by the kernel function TeXSave, which may be accessed either directly or from the Save As Special menu on the notebook front end.
Required Materials for Processing Output
The default output of TeXSave is designed to be compatible with the LaTeX2 document preparation system. TeXSave output employs specialized macros, which are defined in the LaTeX package notebook2e.sty that comes with most versions of Mathematica.
To ensure that the TeX document resembles the appearance of printed Mathematica notebooks, the macro definitions in notebook2e.sty typeset plain text with the Times, Helvetica, and Courier font families instead of the TeX-native Computer Modern fonts. Your LaTeX installation will need to be configured to support the creation of DVI files that use these fonts. It is unlikely that you will need to make any adjustments since the default setup of most current TeX distributions includes this feature. If you performed a minimal installation of the distribution, you may need to install additional modules for that distribution. Refer to your distribution's Local Guide for more information.
The math mode macros in notebook2e.sty typeset special characters using the same fonts used by Mathematica. This is done with the help of Jens-Peer Kuska's Mathematica Virtual Font Package. Since virtual fonts are used instead of PK fonts, you will not be able to see the special characters in most DVI previewers. The characters will be visible after the DVI file has been converted to PostScript by a driver like DVIPS.
The notebook2e.sty file and the virtual fonts package are included with most versions of Mathematica. Information on where to find these files on your system is given in comments at the beginning of the Mathematica-generated TeX input file. The files are arranged in a TeX Directory Standard-compliant tree to make installation of the files as straightforward as possible.
Once the required files are copied to your TeX installation, you may need to refresh your TeX installation's database of filenames so that TeX can find the new package files. Consult your TeX distribution's documentation for specific instructions on doing this. Additionally, you will need to configure your DVI to PostScript driver to find the Type 1 versions of the Math fonts on your system.
Mathematica licensees are permitted to supply copies of the .sty files and the Type 1 versions of the Math fonts to publishers and service bureaus for processing files generated by TeXSave. You can obtain clarification on copyright issues associated with these files by sending e-mail to email@example.com.
Principles of Notebook Conversion
Because LaTeX is a markup language, TeXSave separates content from formatting details by treating Mathematica cell styles as abstractions. Little explicit formatting information is retained in the conversion of a plain text cell.
Here is a cell expression that uses the Subsection style.
Cell[TextData["Survey of existing literature"], "Subsection"]
This is the output written to the TeX input file after conversion. The output does not explicitly specify the font choice or how the text should be positioned within the document.
\SubsectionSurvey of existing literature
For cells that contain two-dimensional typeset math expressions, TeXSave generates custom macro names based on the cell's environment, format, and cell style.
Here is a cell expression that uses the Text style and contains aTraditionalForm inline cell.
"The Pythagorean theorem states that ",
SuperscriptBox["c", "2"], "=", " ",
RowBox["2", " "]], "+", " ",
SuperscriptBox["b", "2"]]], TraditionalForm]]],
], "Text"]
This is what is written to the TeX input file. The macro \inlineTFinmath is one of many macros defined in the LaTeX package files that are provided with Mathematica. The macro \multsp is used to denote a multiplication space.
The Pythagorean theorem states that \inlineTFinmathc^2=\multsp
a^2\multsp +\multsp b^2.
The control over the appearance of the text resides within the macro definitions in the LaTeX2 package file specified in the document's preamble. The default package file, notebook2e.sty, is intended be used with LaTeX2. For backward compatibility with LaTeX 2.09, the older notebook.sty is also provided on the Mathematica distribution medium. Adjustments to appearance should be made by specifying an additional custom package file that contains private macro definitions and modifications.
A large number of cell styles are supported by TeXSave and the .sty files that come with Mathematica. If you use a style sheet that is not part of the Mathematica distribution, you may need to add additional definitions for macros based on the new style names.
Options for Adjusting Output
The output of TeXSave can be adjusted through ConversionOptions, which takes a list of suboptions as its value.
The suboption "TeXVersion" specifies which version of LaTeX the should be used in generating output. The default value is "LaTeX2e". Output that is compatible with LaTeX 2.09 can be obtained by setting the value to "LaTeX2.09". Due to inherent limitations in the font selection mechanism of LaTeX 2.09, the macros in notebook.sty make use of TeX-native Computer Modern fonts to typeset both text and TraditionalForm mathematics. Courier-Bold is still used to represent input and output in InputForm, OutputForm, and StandardForm.
The "DocumentClass" suboption specifies what type of document style LaTeX should use when processing the TeX input file. Typical values for this option are "article" and "report".
Where possible, TeXSave will convert graphics within a notebook to Encapsulated PostScript format. The option "EmbeddedGraphics" specifies where to direct the EPS output. When the option is set to False, each graphic will be written to an individual EPS file with the name filename_grnumber.eps. When this option is set to True, the EPS will be included within the TeX input file. The EPS does not contain a bitmap preview, so the graphic will not be rendered if your TeX preview software does not have a built-in PostScript interpreter. The graphics will be rendered properly when printed with a PostScript printer or displayed on a full-featured PostScript onscreen previewer.
The correspondence between Mathematica cell styles and TeX macros is determined by the settings in the option "MarkupRules". If this option is not set explicitly by the user, TeXSave will use its own built-in conversion rules. The value of this option is a list of items. Possible items include style sheet notebooks, notebook objects, file names specified as strings or as FrontEnd`FileName objects, and concise listings of ConversionRules options. If two conversion rules specify different settings for the same cell style or format type, then the last conversion rule listed will be used.
If a style sheet notebook is specified, the only options extracted from the style definitions are ConversionRules. No other formatting options at the notebook or cell level are processed since it is assumed that details about the appearance of the style will be governed by the macro definition that is associated with the style.
A text conversion rule conveys information about what TeX macro should be used to delimit the converted cell's contents. Its general structure takes the form ConversionRules -> "TeX" -> "opening delimiter", "closing delimiter".
Here is a style definition that contains a conversion rule for a user-defined cell style called Digression, as one might find it in a style sheet notebook.
other cell options, ...
ConversionRules ->
"TeX" -> "\Digression", "\n"
Here is a cell expression that uses the Digression style.
Cell[TextData["Functions defined on "],
Here is the appearance of the converted cell in the LaTeX input file.
\DigressionFunctions defined on \DoubleStruckCapitalZ
For cell styles associated with typeset mathematics, a distinction must be made as to whether the typeset expression appears in an inline or a freestanding environment. The conversion rules used here have two parts, taking the form ConversionRules -> "TeX" -> inline formatting list, display formatting list. Each formatting list contains the following information opening delimiter, formatting function, closing delimiter. For the cases where TeXSave generates a custom TeX macro, the delimiters specified in the conversion rule are overridden, leaving only the formatting function to have an impact on the output. A typical formatting function used in conversion rules is TeXForm.
Here is a cell style definition that contains a conversion rule for a user-defined style called EmphasizedFormula.
other cell options, ...
ConversionRules ->
"TeX" ->
ToString[#, TeXForm]\&,
ToString[#, TeXForm]\&,
Here is a combination of the prior examples using the "MarkupRules" option hat could be supplied as an argument to TeXSave.
"MarkupRules" -> "Digression" -> "\\Digression", "\n",
"EmphasizedFormula" ->
ToString[#, FormatType->TeXForm]&,
ToString[#, FormatType -> TeXForm]&,
By default, TeXSave uses the built-in function TeXForm to convert typeset math expressions into TeX syntax. If you have set "TeXVersion" to "LaTeX2.09" and desire an appearance that is closer to what you see in a Mathematica notebook, you can change the option "DisplayMathToTeX" from its default value of True to MVFalse. TeXSave will convert each display math formula into an Encapsulated PostScript graphic using a file naming system similar to that of files generated by converting Graphics style cells.
Source Code Availability
Despite the large number of options for adjusting TeXSave output, there may be circumstances where you may need to make changes at a deeper level. Since the bulk of TeXSave is implemented as top-level Mathematica code, we make the source code available in Mathematica package format.
The packages can be downloaded from links at URL: http://www.wolfram.com/support/FrontEnds/Export/TeX/. Routine updates to notebook2e.sty and notebook.sty are available from this site as well.

Article on GPU acceleration in PP at Toms Hardware
coffeefrog wrote:
They may know that DXO supports OpenCL. When DXO released that version the amount of "it doesn't work/isn't enabled/crashes/I have high end hardware how dare it not go faster/its not faster/its slower/its the best thing/it says it works but doesn't" thrashing around was quite something to watch. If I was Adobe I might be a little more cautious than DXO.
GPU-coprocessing is still uncharted territory. It requires major rewriting using cryptic and archaic C-style APIs or dialects (until C++AMP is finalized), and the benefits are not always as obvious as it seems, for example latency issues makes it very expensive to ship data to and from the accelerator and can very well offset the gain provided by massively parallel processing on the GPU vs. multi-core processing on the CPU (most benchmarks and samples I've seen compare single-threaded vs. GPU which is unfair to begin with). GPU computing really is something that must be approached on a case-by-case basis - routine by routine - with careful cost/benefit analysis and Adobe is apparently doing just that.

Minn.'s Kline says no to Senate/governor run
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Rep. John Kline says he's not interested in running for the U.S. Senate or governor next year.
Kline, a Republican, said Friday he wants to take his name off the table now so it will help others who might run against Democratic Sen. Al Franken or Gov. Mark Dayton.
Kline says his party needs a candidate to emerge soon to oppose Franken because the senator has a big head start on money. Franken last week said he had $2 million in the bank to support his bid for a second term.
Kline says he'll seek re-election to his southern Minnesota House seat.
No prominent Republicans have yet emerged to challenge Franken or Dayton.

DENVER (CBS4) – It's starting to look more likely that Kyle Orton will be in a Denver Broncos uniform and starting on Week 1 of the NFL's regular season.
All the media hype surrounding the talk of a trade between the Dolpins and the Broncos for the quarterback had some fans at Dolphins Training Camp chanting "We want Orton."
Perhaps the Dolphins weren't offering enough, or the Broncos were asking to much, but those talks have stalled, and for some Broncos supporters like former wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, that's probably a good thing.
McCaffrey was the special guest on Xfinity Monday Live! this week and he said that it's never a bad idea to consider a trade for a good player if the end result ends up helping the team. However, Orton is the "best quarterback on the team right now," according to McCaffrey.
"I think they were looking to trade him. I think now that he got his $1.5 million signing bonus it's a lot less likely," McCaffrey said on the show. "I think it would be a mistake to trade him."
"Will he be a year from now or two years from now? I don't know. Tim Tebow is a heck of a competitor. But Kyle Orton is a more polished quarterback. He's a better passer and there's a good chance that he's more ready to start this season as the guy."
Orton is showing lots of poise and determination at Dove Valley in the first few days of Training Camp. He took all the reps with the starters on Monday while Tebow was working with the backups.
Watch more comments from McCaffrey in the Xfinity Monday Live! section.

Actor Yehuda Barkan Held for Tax Evasion
Entertainer Yehuda Barkan was arrested yesterday and questioned on suspicion of evading hundreds of thousands of shekels in income tax payments since 1999.
Barkan, 63, was questioned by Income Tax Authority investigators and brought to Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. He was released after posting a NIS 500,000 bond and was barred from leaving the country.
At the hearing, investigator David Ephraim said the suspicions about Barkan's tax evasion arose during a tax authority investigation of his son Ro'i Barkan and his company, Dor Millennium.
Investigators believe that starting in 1999, Yehuda Barkan concealed hundreds of thousands of shekels in income from Jewish revival events he organized and issued receipts in the name of various companies registered to his sons Ro'i and Ido.
Yesterday the investigation against the elder Barkan became public when he was questioned under caution at Income Tax Authority investigation headquarters in Tel Aviv. Both sons were also questioned.
Barkan admitted yesterday that he had registered companies in his sons' names because he was in bankruptcy proceedings and was thus barred from registering himself. He also admitted to drawing a second salary from one of these companies in the name of Ro'i, who did not work at the firm.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Reports of flu-like illnesses in the Dallas area are on the upswing, causing public health officials to issue vaccination reminders Monday.
"The best protection is to get a flu shot right away, before the peak of the flu season hits," said Dr. Lou Brewer, director of Tarrant County Public Health.
An increasing number of residents of that county are visiting their doctors with influenza-like symptoms, including fevers of 100 degrees or higher, plus a cough or a sore throat.
In addition, a flu-associated pediatric death occurred in late November in the United States. Such deaths are considered an important indicator of the severity of a flu season.
Twelve Dallas County residents were hospitalized with flu complications in the week ending Nov. 30. And more flu cases were confirmed by lab tests.
"We are seeing more flu," Dr. Christopher Perkins, the county's medical director of Health and Human Services, confirmed Monday.
"It is not as bad as a year ago at this time. But we hope people are heeding our advice and getting vaccinated early."
His department's flu surveillance report, released Monday, showed a sharp increase in flu cases for the last week of November. Positive tests jumped to 9.1 percent from 5.5 percent of the results in the previous week.
Flu vaccine remains widely available from local health departments, pharmacies, grocery stores and doctor's offices.
It takes about two weeks for a flu shot to take full effect. In the meantime, people should cover their coughs and sneezes. More importantly, they should stay home with flu-like symptoms.
Statewide flu activity was rising above the baseline levels as of late November, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The vast majority of confirmed flu viruses have been influenza-A strains, two of which are covered by the current vaccine.
The flu vaccine is designed to protect against the three main flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will analyze the effectiveness of the vaccine later in the season.
"For everyone, getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against influenza throughout flu season," says the CDC's website. "It's important to get a flu vaccine every year, even if you got vaccinated the season before and the viruses in the vaccine have not changed for the current season."
Other measures also can limit the transmission of flu viruses that are circulating in public places.
"Proper hand washing will help keep germs from spreading," Brewer suggested.
