Cop car leaves Mandela bust with chip on the shoulder
Scarcely two days after the bust of Nelson Mandela was unveiled at Parliament, a police vehicle reversed into it on Wednesday and damaged its right side.
The R2.5-million bust was unveiled amid fanfare on Monday by President Jacob Zuma, in the presence of a number of dignitaries, including members of the Mandela family, former president FW de Klerk, Cabinet ministers and members of Parliament.
Parliament said the 1.5m wide and 2m high (on a plinth) bust, which was erected as part of the 20 years of democracy celebrations, was slightly damaged on Wednesday on the right shoulder, which was dented and scratched.
"An assessment of the damage to the bust was carried out. The bust will today [Wednesday] be removed for repair and is expected to be back in its place tomorrow," Parliament said in a statement.
The bust was repaired and back in its place at Parliament by 4pm on Wednesday.
It also revealed that the area around the bust is a security zone where no ordinary cars are allowed to park, but blue light vehicles that transport members of the executive would be found parked in the area on any given day when there is a sitting of the National Assembly.
Driver 'was crying and apologising'
Parliament security staff who spoke on condition of anonymity, as they are not authorised to speak to the media, said the accident happened around 7am, and it was already light at the time.
They said the driver, a male police officer, was in tears after the accident.
"He seemed very remorseful. He was crying and apologising," said a parliamentary security staff member who witnessed the incident.
When the Mail & Guardian visited the scene at 12.45pm, a number of people including tourists had gathered around the plinth expressing shock at how the accident could have happened.
The bust had already been removed by that time.
The right windows of the police panel van were completely shattered.
Parliamentary spokesperson Luzuko Jacob assured the visitors it would be back up on Thursday. "I now find myself counselling people here," he said.
A Danish couple, who said they were tourists, were among those shocked at the incident, saying they had seen the bust on their earlier tour of Parliament.
It is not clear whether the bust was insured, but all the property in the Parliament precinct is the responsibility of the department of public works.
Controversy has followed this latest Madiba statue, even before its erection on Monday.
Earlier this month, Parliament admitted to short-circuiting procurement processes because "the bust was an emergency procedure".
The contract to build the bust was awarded to Koketso Growth, a company owned by Dali Tambo, son of former ANC president Oliver Tambo. The company was also commissioned to create the statue of Mandela at the Union Buildings, which was unveiled last December.
On Monday, Tambo revealed that his company built the bust in a record five weeks, when it would normally take three to four months to build it.

ATLANTA - The largest health insurer in the state has sent letters containing personal information to the wrong addresses, exposing more than 200,000 Georgians to possible identity theft.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in Tuesday's editions that the letters were sent last week by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia. They include the patient's name and ID number, the name of the medical service provider and the amounts charged and owed.
Company spokeswoman Cindy Sanders said "a small percentage" of the letters also contained Social Security numbers.
State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine said the matter is "very, very serious."
He has ordered the company to give written notice to policyholders whose names were on the Explanation of Benefits letters and compile a list of names of those who mistakenly received the forms. He also is requiring the company to give a year of free credit monitoring to all affected customers.
Company officials said the problem was caused by a change in the computer system. The problem has been fixed, officials said.
Blue Cross, which has about 3 million policyholders in Georgia, is removing all Social Security numbers from mailings, Sanders said.
Registered nurse Rhonda Bloschock of Atlanta was shocked when she received letters for nine different Blue Cross customers in the mail Friday. She called the mistake a "serious privacy breach."
The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed in 1996, makes it illegal in most cases to disclose patients' medical information without their permission.

18 TV Comedies In Development That We Can't Wait To See
You might have noticed that this new Fall TV season has been… how you say… sucky. That's especially true in the comedy department. It's especially cruel since we lost so many good TV shows this year and as a replacement we got… Dads. What's even worse is that really good shows, like Super Clyde with Rupert Grint, didn't even get picked up. It would be easy to just give up on the future of television completely, but fear not! There are plenty of comedies in development from very funny people. Every other day there's a report that someone great is producing or writing or starring in a pilot. We've put together a list of some of the most promising options. Here's hoping that 2014 brings us some great shows to make up for this year's suckage… and that those shows actually get picked up.
1-2. DINKS and The Mason Twins from Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael
(Photo: Brian To, WENN / Nikki Nelson, WENN)
These two are BFFs and writing partners who wrote this year's indie comedy Ass Backwards. They recently signed a deal with ABC Studios to write a show called DINKS (Double Income, No Kids) that will star Raphael. They also sold a show to NBC called The Mason Twins about 30-something fraternal twins who end up living together. Yay to funny ladies writing for TV!
3. Mulaney from John Mulaney
(Photo: Tumblr)
SNL writer John Mulaney developed a multicamera comedy called Mulaney with NBC that didn't end up getting picked up by the network, but Fox swooped in and gave it a series order. The show's loosely based on Mulaney's life as an aspiring comedian. The show also stars Martin Short and will be executive produced by Lorne Michaels. Yay for comedy justice!
4. People in New Jersey starring Sarah Silverman and Topher Grace
(Photo: Dan Jackman, WENN / Brian To, WENN)
Silverman and Grace are starring alongside Patti Lupone in this new half-hour comedy pilot from HBO that's being directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids and The Heat) and executive produced by Lorne Michaels. Silverman and Grace will play adult siblings, and Lupone will be their mom. That's some serious star power, so hopefully it'll work out.
5-6. Two Untitled Projects from Tina Fey
Tina Fey is returning to TV and it feels so good! She's producing two projects for NBC. The first is being written by 30 Rock writer Colleen McGuinness and will be a workplace comedy about a young woman looking for her father who finds a new home on Fire Island. The second show, which got a series commitment from Fox, is about a women's college that accepts men for the first time, and it's being written by another 30 Rock alum, Matt Hubbard. If Tina Fey approves, I'll watch.
7. Slide Show from Steve Carell
Steve Carell may no longer be Michael Scott, but he's not gone from TV for good. He's producing a new unscripted series called Slide Show, and Fox has picked up eight episodes. The show, based on an international series, will pit two teams of celebrities and comedians against each other in showdowns involving song and dance and sketches. And the set is also tilted at a 22.5-degree angle. Sounds like Hollywood Game Night crossed with Wipeout. I'll give it a whirl.
8. How and Why from Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Kaufman is known for writing cerebral comedies like Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and he made his directorial debut with Synecdoche, New York. Now he's writing, directing and executive producing a half-hour comedy pilot for FX called How and Why about a guy who knows a lot about nuclear reactors but is "clueless about life." It's bound to be weird and witty, so I look forward to it.
9. Welcome to Sweden from Amy Poehler and Greg Poehler
Tina Fey's BFF and Golden Globes partner Amy Poehler is developing a comedy for NBC with her brother Greg based on his real life story about a New Yorker who falls for a Swedish woman and follows her to Sweden. Greg Poehler will play himself and Amy will executive produce and make appearances. The show was originally commissioned for a Swedish network and will be shot partly in Stockholm. Interesting stuff!
10. The Younger Man from Justin Long
Justin Long is co-writing and possibly starring in a new comedy for NBC about an optimistic man married to an older woman and raising a teenage son while facing judgment from the people around them. The show is being co-written by Justin's brother Christian and Office alum Graham Wagner. I'm just glad it doesn't have the word "cougar" in the title.
11-13. Stuck, The Revengers and Girls Without Boys from Rashida Jones
Look out, Rashida Jones is taking over television. She's sold three pilots to three different networks. Stuck, for Fox, is about a woman whose daughter becomes her boss. The Revengers (formerly Ladyballs), for the CW, is about a sporting goods store targeted at ladies. Girls Without Boys, for ABC, is about an all-girls school. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Jones will be starring in any of these, which is especially painful since she's leaving Parks and Rec.
14. More Time With Family from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon
Yep, these two are venturing into TV comedy. CBS ordered a pilot produced by the pair which focuses on a man who gives up his on-the-road job to spend time with his family, but that's not exactly what they were asking for. It'll be interesting to see what an Affleck-and-Damon-produced comedy is like. Only iffy part is that it's for CBS. Blegh.
15. Untitled Project from Issa Rae
(Photo: Youtube)
Issa Rae is known for her successful webseries The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, and now she's developing a comedy with HBO with similar themes. Rae will star and is co-writing with Larry Wilmore (a correspondent on The Daily Show, among other things). Could this be the new Girls?
16-17. Freelancers and And Lies I Tell My Daughter from Zooey Deschanel
She brings her adorkable self to New Girl every week, but Zooey Deschanel is also doing things behind the camera. She and her producing partner Rivka Sophia Rossi have sold two projects, one to Fox and one to NBC. Freelancers is about a lawyer who has to start over at age 30 and interacts with weird freelancers in a shared office space. And Lies I Telly My Daughter is based on a column on Deschanel and Rossi's site Hellogiggles. I'm sure both shows will be very quirky and lovable, just like Zooey.
18. Growing Ivy from Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri Martino
Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri Martino are developing a show for NBC about a workaholic woman who invites her eccentric mom to move in with her. Martino is co-writing and Sarandon will executive produce. And they're also both starring in it. Hurray for mother-daughter teams!

In case you missed it today on GlobalPost here's my latest column, which deals with the ongoing Occupy Wall Street movement.
Here's the big idea, as police crack down and the movement plots its next move:
It all comes down to the social contract.
For most of our history, Americans have been okay with hard-working people getting rich, as long as the rules of the game were fair to all.
The trouble now, of course, is that too many people think the game is now rigged.
The money quote:
In short, the social contract in America is broken. The optimistic glue that has successfully held together so much diversity, so many disparate dreams, for so long, is coming undone.
This is the unspoken message behind the Occupy Wall Street movement — in New York, Boston, Oakland, Portland and in all the other unhappy cities around the US. Its echoes can be heard around the world, from Tahrir Square, to London, to Tokyo, to every other place where economic inequality is today rearing its ugly head.
For complete GlobalPost coverage of the global Occupy movement, check out our ongoing reporting series Occupy World, which collects our growing coverage from New York, to Boston, Oakland, Chile, Tokyo, London and beyond.
In other smart Occupy coverage:
I came across this interesting blog post today from photographer Melissa Golden, who detailed her recent experiences at Zuccotti Park in New York, and compared them with the many other protests she's covered over the years.
Here's some of what Golden had to say:
I talked to some interesting and kind people, but also met a few profoundly mentally ill individuals. Given the ratio, it made me wonder who was filling the ranks of Occupy. I personally believe the shrinking middle class is a lethal threat to American democracy and that political and financial reforms in this country are beyond necessary, so I applaud the general sentiments expressed by the Occupy movement, but lack of leadership and a cohesive message and a plan is nothing to be proud of. It's easy for middle America to dismiss the movement outright when Occupy lets itself be represented by its most fringe elements. I asked one curiously dressed boy why they didn't consider occupying the Brooks Brothers across the street and getting some suits so as to send a strong visual message that they are to be taken seriously. He said "Wow, I never thought of that. I'm going to mention it at the General Assembly tonight!" Of course, nothing ever came of it.
I don't want Occupy to fail because things will only get worse and history is pretty clear about what happens when we reach a true breaking point. I'd rather shoot a bunch of idealists in a park any day than an actual armed revolution.

You are bidding on this Crosa Collection Female Figural Lamp. Very attractive, it has a glass shade with beads streaming down lamp shade. The woman in the lamp is very stylish with her hat and legs crossed, tight fitting dress to show her figure, while she is leaning on a column style table. Very detailed in multi-colored pastels. The table has sitting on top a bouqet of pink flowers with two love birds sitting . She is standing on a marble colored base. The figure and top of the base are polyresin and the base is wood. T is the gold label at the front of the wood base which has "The Crosa Collection". The lamp works great, only minor problem is on the beaded part of the shade two sets of beads came off, but does not deter in anyway from the beauty of the lamp. The lamp is 24 1/4 in. tall. The glass shade is 4 in. by 6 in. The wood base is 8 3/4 in. by 7 3/4 in. At the top of the base it is signed by the artist, I cannot read it, but very visible, it is in cursive. Domestic shipping will be $14.95 and out of the country $25.95. Great for Collectors!!!!! p.s. it is marked at the bottom made in China.

I've recently been playing around with a few options for automating my social media posting. There's a few commonly known solutions – like Hootsuite – that work very well.
But being the automation nerd that I am, I wanted to find a solution that would automatically syndicate all of my WordPress blog posts to all of my social media channels in a way that's appropriate to optimize each channel (for example twitter locks you at 140 characters, while facebook allows you to have a thumbnail image and longer text).
My New Favorite App – IFTTT (If This Then That)
My favorite aspect of Infusionsoft is that I can set up automation triggers. If I want to trigger a certain outcome based on an event, all I have to do is set up the appropriate actions and rules. For example, if I want to have a followup email sequence automatically send to a customer after a specific product is purchased, all I need to do is set up an action set to make this happen.
But what about social media? I want to be able to publish a new post to my site and have it automatically syndicate across all of my social media channels – Facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin, etc.
I've found a few solutions that attempt to accomplish this, but I wasn't pleased with them because each of them had a substantial delay between the kickoff action (publishing a post) and the resulting effect (publishing to social media). I wanted this to happen immediately!
Then I stumbled upon IFTTT. With this amazing (free!) app, you can create "recipes" that work very similar to actions in Infusionsoft. For example, take a look at my recipes for syndicating my materials across social media as soon as I publish a post:
As soon as I finalize and publish this post, it will automatically post a snippet to my Facebook fan page, Twitter, and Linkedin. But what about Google+? Although it isn't natively supported yet, I have a hack for you: Set up a new recipe to watch for a facebook fan page post to go live, then once it does, have that post to Google+ through Hootsuite!
The greatest part is that you can customize how each snippet will look. For example, with Twitter I only have room for the very basics (title of the post + a shortened link), but for Facebook it will automatically post the title, description, and try to pull a featured image.
Need help getting these set up? I've shared a few of my "recipes" here. Click each of them to create your own off of my models.
WordPress Post publish to Facebook Fan Page
WordPress Post publish to Twitter
Imagine how much time this saves if you are posting to all of these multiple times per week! Talk about saving time through automation.
Taking Automation Further
Do you pay any virtual employees or business expenses through Paypal? If so I have a cool recipe for you:
Any time I make a payment through Paypal, this recipe will automatically save a copy of the receipt to Evernote. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.
How much time would this save in your business? Post you answer in the comments below.

Automatic Composition Import FCP SuiteImporting entire FCP sequences into After Effects never been easier
You�ve probably already heard about Automatic Duck from many of the user forum and communities on the web. Headed by Wes Plate, Automatic Duck has been providing NLE and After Effects users with the plug-ins necessary to transfer entire timelines directly into After Effects. Currently Automatic Duck offers three flavors of their NLE to AE programs.
Automatic Composition Import is designed for Avid users who need to move their OMF files and sequences into After Effects. OMF files are not read natively by After Effects, but with this plug-in you just point After Effects to a compliant OMF sequence and everything imports wonderfully.
If you are not on the fancy pants Avid systems, but rather on the lower (and more affordable) Xpress DV system, then you should check out Automatic Composition Import DV designed specifically for the Xpress systems. This works the same way as Automatic Composition Import.
For the Final Cut Pro user (and the focus of this review), Automatic Duck offers Automatic Composition Import Final Cut Pro Suite. In what seems to be less than a blink of an eye, the program will export the sequence in a compliant file that can then be opened in After Effects.
In a nutshell here is how it works:
Once your Final Cut Pro sequence is complete and you are ready to do motion graphics magic, select File>Export>Automatic Duck. This will generate a file that contains all of the In/Out Points and pointers to the original media files.
You then open After Effects and select File>Import>OMF as Comp from the menu. When you have selected the sequence, After Effects then begins importing all the necessary files and builds an After Effects Timeline.
The results will look slightly different than your original FCP sequence, as After Effects and Automatic Composition Import FCP Suite brings every edit in a separate layer. While this gives you the greatest flexibility in tweaking your sequence, it can create a huge Timeline for you to scroll through.
|The Final Cut Pro 3.0 sequence...

NEW property development in the CBD is expected to halt after a ballooning of the city vacancy rate to its highest point since 2004.
It could be two years before we have another major commercial development in the city, industry players say, with further pressure tipped this year as major office projects reach completion.
The Property Council's Office Market Report revealed a spike in CBD vacancy, from 7.7 per cent last July to 9.5 per cent. In the city fringe, the vacancy rate jumped from 5.5 per cent to 6.1 per cent.
Property Council SA executive director Nathan Paine said the figures reflected widely held fears of troubled economic times.
"It's clear that things remain grim for the property sector,'' he said.
"These figures come shortly after our property industry confidence survey that showed South Australian property investors remain jittery about the state's economic prospects.''
But Jones Lang LaSalle director Tom Budarick blamed additional supply, including Tower 8 and refurbished space at 30 Flinders St.
"Demand for space, while not as healthy as it was in 2007 and 2008, still exists,'' he said.
Colliers International director Nicholas Shinnick said it could be some time before another major development was announced.
"I expect no new major activity until at least 2015,'' he said.
CBRE director Andrew Bahr said new office space at 100 Waymouth and 70 Franklin streets could add another two percentage points to the CBD vacancy rate by mid-year.
"It was originally expected that the pending resource boom in SA would take up much of this space before it entered the market but the BHP decision severely affected this,'' he said.
Mr Paine said the figures underlined the need for the State Government to hold an economic forum.

"good book"
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com."
not exactly what i was expecting but it was interesting and i liked it. i am not to big on gay romance but this one was very good
"Could not get even to chapter two, reader is awful"
New reader. Don't need to pause so much between words. Plus what is up with the breathy words!!! If main character is a man then have a man read the book not a women. Alpha to mean is a man with firm and deep voice!!

Anticipation for A Dance with Dragons is reaching a fevered pitch. An accidental, early release from Amazon.de has caused a flurry of activity, including on our forum (we broke our concurrency record because of it). But before you go seeking out spoilers, heed these words from U.K. publisher HarperCollins Voyager…
And let us add our own thoughts on this. Yes, Linda and I have had the privilege of reading the book awhile ago. Yes, we knew some of what the contents were, from early chapters George had read or which we had early access to. But a great bulk of it was entirely new to us… and the pleasure in the reading was greatly heightened for us by not knowing what was coming. There are some amazing, jaw-dropping moments in this book. If you can at all help it, don't ruin the shocks and surprises, so you can get the maximum effect out of them. GRRM's labored six years on this book, trying to get it "just so"; what's holding out two more weeks, to make sure you can read and judge his efforts with fresh eyes and an open mind? And don't worry, we've put extreme spoiler protections up on the forum, so it should remain a relatively safe place on the relatively-lawless internet (and we'll note, word is there's a number of major forums where spoilers—fake and real alike—are flying like mad, so keep your head down!)
Now, that Amazon.de error is fixed, and any new orders placed via Amazon.de will provide the appropriate shipping date. There are rumors of stores in Australia, Sweden, and elsewhere claiming early release dates, but Bantam/Random House is on the case, double-checking all the international distributors and major chains to make sure that the global July 12th embargo is respected.
So, if you haven't pre-ordered the book yet, what are you waiting for? It's now two weeks to go! Here's a handy list of links:

Barghouti's Children Aren't in a Hurry
Who are the Palestinian prisoners, whose release Israel is now contemplating?
Na'il Barghouti wanted to study music; Fakhri Barghouti, his cousin, was a shepherd. In 1978, Na'il had just finished his high school matriculation exams; Fakhri, 23, was already married with a baby. They were living in the village of their birth, Kobar, north of Ramallah. They joined a Fatah military cell led by Na'il's oldest brother, Omar Barghouti. In 1978, some 20 members of the cell were arrested on suspicion of killing an Israel Defense Forces officer in their region, near the settlement of Halamish. "We weren't the ones who went to the army, the army came to us, and not as a guest," said Omar Barghouti in his home this week, explaining the logic behind the decision to organize a military cell.
They were all convicted, and the military tribunal sentenced three of them to life imprisonment. Those three were brothers Na'il and Omar and their cousin, Fakhri. Omar was released in a prisoner swap in 1985. At the last minute Israel retracted its agreement to free all those sentenced to life and submitted a list of 36 prisoners whom it refused to release; renewed negotiations led to the release of half of them. Omar was one of those freed, but Na'il and Fakhri stayed behind, jailed in Shikma Prison in Ashkelon. Today they are among the most veteran Palestinian prisoners in Israel. Omar knows exactly how long they have been locked up: Na'il, he said, has been in jail for "29 years less four months and Fakhri, 28 and a half years."
Omar has not been entirely free since 1985 - he continues to be interrogated, arrested, tried and released every few years - he is still pained by knowing that the lives of his brother and cousin have been frozen in time. "I feel small compared to them," he said in response to a question on the memory of the arbitrary separation from Na'il and Fakhri. "I still feel like they cut off my two wings."
The Fatah and Palestine Liberation Organization leaders are also "small" according to Omar, for not bringing about the release of all their war prisoners with the signing of the Gaza-Jericho agreement on May 4, 1994. He accused Palestinian Authority officials of abandoning the 400 Palestinian prisoners who had been sentenced for acts committed before that date. Of those, 78 were serving life sentences.
When he was arrested, Na'il was already known as Abu Lahab (Father of the Flame). That was how he was known by thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in the jails he was in, who lived with him or near him and were subsequently released. But that wasn't his nickname for long. Abu Lahab was the heretical uncle of the Prophet Mohammed, and Mohammed wished for him to burn in the fire of hell. In 1993, Na'il became religious and now Omar calls him Abu Nur (Father of the Light) because he has seen the light.
Fakhri is known as Abu Shadi, the name of his oldest son. A few months after he was imprisoned, his wife gave birth to another son, Hadi. In 2004, for the first time in 26 years, the father and his two sons were able to live together - in cell No. 21 of Ashkelon Prison, when both boys were arrested at the end of 2003. Shadi was sentenced to 27 years in jail. The family says the offense that sent him to prison was letting a relative, Jassar Barghouti, use his car. Jassar is a member of a Hamas cell that killed three soldiers in Ein Yabrud on October 19, 2003, and the gun that killed the soldiers was found in the car. Omar said Shadi is a Fatah, not a Hamas member, and that Shadi had no idea what Jassar was doing. Hadi was sentenced to four years in jail for routine intifada activities; the family doesn't even bother to remember exactly what led to his arrest.
In response to Fakhri's request, the Israel Prisons Service transferred his sons from Hadarim Prison to Ashkelon Prison. On the day of their arrival, the prisoners crowded into the cells near the small window in the iron door, waiting for the corridor gate to open. Some held mirrors to extend the range of visibility. Fakhri paced back and forth in his cell impatiently. Every few minutes, someone asked if they had come yet.
When the gate opened and the warden shouted "Abu Shadi," silence swept through the entire prison wing. A warden opened the door of cell 21 so Fakhri could come out to greet his sons. "Like in a movie, they watched them approaching each other, like in slow motion," said Omar. "We all held our breaths, but we didn't hide the tears. They looked at him, short and bearded, walking toward his two sons, who were taller than him."
Later, they slept alongside each other for a few nights. They put mattresses on the floor and Fakhri slept in the middle, flanked by his two sons. "When they were babies and their father was in prison, they slept like that with their mother, next to her," said Omar. "Under his bed he had food that he bought in the canteen, and he would feed them like a bird feeding its chicks."
Fakhri's parents died in the last few years. Omar was also in prison when his own parents died, one year apart: his father in October 2004 and his mother in October 2005. For a long time, Omar and Na'il's mother had been unable to visit her sons at the beginning of the intifada, at first because the army wouldn't let West Bank residents make prison visits and later because the computer system of the Civil Administration and Shin Bet security service insisted that she was not related to Na'il.
A short time before Omar and Na'il's mother died, she was brought to the prison in an ambulance. Her sons were allowed to be in the same room as her, embrace her and be photographed together. Their final meeting lasted 35 minutes. "We told her, 'We'll see you in paradise,'" recalled Omar. One picture remains as a memento of the last meeting; in it, the mother is on a stretcher and Omar and Na'il are beside her, holding her hands. Na'il is kissing her hand.
Despite their great disappointment in their movement and the feeling that it has abandoned them, Na'il and Fakhri have remained Fatah members, although they belong to two separate factions, according to Omar. The Shin Bet says Omar crossed over to Hamas after 1992 and that he was on the "command level" of militant activity in the Ramallah area during the second intifada. Hearing this, Omar chuckled and denied the allegation. "I wasn't on the command level; after all, they wouldn't let me out of jail," he said. "I told the Shin Bet: 'Is it forbidden to grow a beard? Is religion the property of Hamas and the fact that I pray makes me a Hamas man?'"
Omar's two oldest sons have also seen the inside of a jail cell: One was sentenced to 18 months for activities at a university, and the second was sentenced to six months. Omar claims Israel was trying to pressure him by arresting his son. In the late 1970s, Omar was in the same prison as Marwan Barghouti, who is a distant relative from the same village. Omar said he was the one who convinced Marwan to leave the communist faction of which he was a member and join Fatah instead. Omar and his family are enraged by posters that sometimes appear in Ramallah to call for "Freedom for [Fatah leader] Marwan Barghouti and All the Prisoners" or "Freedom for [Hamas leader] Hassan Yousef and All the Prisoners." What is this "and," Omar wanted to know, adding that his mother used to participate in all the protests for the release of Palestinian prisoners before she became sick. At a protest in front of the Red Cross office in Jerusalem, police arrested Palestinian leader Faisal Husseini and a veteran activist from Jerusalem who had previously served 14 years in prison for activity against the occupation. The media reported that Husseini and a few others were arrested. For Omar's mother, that "and" embodied the contempt of the elite for the simple, regular folks who sacrificed their lives for the struggle for independence.
"Every time Yitzhak Rabin traveled abroad, he took [missing navigator] Ron Arad's wife with him," Omar said, continuing his mother's complaint. "But with us, when [Palestinian negotiator] Saeb Erekat and Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] talk to the Israeli leadership about the prisoners, it's as though they become embarrassed. And why should they care? After all, they don't have sons in jail."

Skydream anyone?
Here is an article from Quiet & Electric Flight by Dereck Woodward with an unusual rubber model that he feels could be built as an EP. Although it is not a canard the long nose is just begging for one. I wouldn't use the winglets on the end of the wing either.
This was part of the article that also included info about my X-Wing.
Last edited by Red Runner; Dec 10, 2010 at 12:25 AM.
Those are a form of winglets on the tips. A number of folks have experimented with them, including me, and out at Stanford Dr. Kroo and his team have done quite a bit of work with them. He refers to it as a "C wing". While still providing the benefits of winglets, they also act as both vertical and horizontal stabilizers. The idea works very well, but stiffness is critical if you want to avoid aeroelasticity problems.
Replacing them with a canard would most likely NOT be an improvement.
Delta Duck Mark 2
Here are a few shots of Mark 2. The build is fitting together well.
I just found the Skydream to be a stepping off place for a new canard design. The Skydream as shown is a low speed rubber design.
If I was any good at 3D CAD I would attach a drawing. After working in AutoCAD for years before retiring I am also too lazy (better things to do) to do 3D.
Contra - Twin Canard
Traplet Plans UK is offering this design.
Thanks for that link Red! I have the magazine and plans, am looking at it as being 4 birds away from Crimson! (present project)
Delta Duck Mark II Nice work as always Charles. I'm looking forward to seeing it in flight. Do you think the flat spins will work with this one?
On the Stanford website there is some information about a C-wing plane that includes a canard wing surface. It is explained that "This design comprises a three-surface configuration providing a large allowable c.g. range".
More info here:
You cannot help the acceptance of a particular design concept by forcing it into applications where it will be a disadvantage.
As far as aeroelasticiy, yes, my own experiments with C wings pointed that out. However, that wing design lends itself to this, with a short span and plenty of chord.
Both the horizontal and vertical sections of the winglets recover induced drag energy from the wing's tip vortices, and in fact the horizontal segments, being further aft, will probably be more effective in this than the verticals. If you replace them with a canard, you remove this winglet recovery, hurting the overall induced drag, you replace some of the wing's lift with lift from the less effficient canard, again hurting the overall efficiency, and you disturb the lift distribution on the wing with the downwash from the canard, causing further reductions in the aircraft's efficiency. In addition, you add quite a bit of surface way out in front of the C/G, some of which will have a negative influence on yaw stability, which through a variety of processes is also likely to hurt overall efficiency, as well as handling qualities. It will probably help dynamic stability in pitch, but probably not in yaw, in fact probably a detriment there.
If you want to do it because you think it will "look cool", for models that is a perfectly acceptable reason to try it. However, don't fool yourself into thinking it will fly better. People care how cool it looks. Air molecules do not.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Looks very like a Starship / LongEzy wing in that picture. When does a wing with seats in it become a lifting body? I can imagine problems with cabin pressurizing as soon as we depart from the traditional cigar shape. Have they found a way around that? The last picture on your link suggests a solution with 9 cigar tubes fixed side by side inside the wing.
[QUOTE=John235;16784523]On the Stanford website there is some information about a C-wing plane that includes a canard wing surface. It is explained that "This design comprises a three-surface configuration providing a large allowable c.g. range"...QUOTE]
Yes, in that case they are distributing a lot of the plane's mass, in particular the highly variable payload mass, along the length of the plane. That calls for a longer moment arm for the "tail" surfaces. However, other than some sort of electronic active yaw stabilization, the same approach is not viable for the yaw stability problem, so the plane would need larger vertical fins to compensate.
The C-wing is by nature short-coupled, although not as short-coupled as a pure flying wing would tend to be. Short-coupled airplanes tend to do better by minimizing the lengthwise distribution of mass, spreading the mass along the span instead. They have done some of that in this case by putting some of the mass in those pods on either side of the fuselage. However, the concept as sketched still has an awful lot of lengthwise mass distribution, which is where the three-surface configuration can help.
Red Runner, Thank you for showing that really breathtaking Contra twin! Something like it might be a future project without the dihedral.
John, the C wing discussion is beyond me but at least they are showing a canard wing for it. I appreciate the show and discuss efforts here. You never know what may develop in our minds.

The short answer is "yes and no."
Now the "longer" answer:
Winglets recover energy from the tip vortices of the wing, in effect reducing the induced drag of the wing. However, as lifting surfaces in their own right, they have induced and parasite drag of their own. The trick is in making sure the latter does not cancel out or completely overshadow the former. If the winglets make more drag of their own than they recover, then you would be better off without them.
For that net benefit to happen, first of all you have to have enough induced drag from the wing that there is something to be recovered. On a well-designed sailplane there generally isn't much induced drag to begin with, so that doesn't help the case for winglets.
The cynical way to look at it would be that in order for winglets to do a good job, it helps if the wing design is lousy to begin with.
The other problem that crops up is that induced drag is inversely related to airspeed. As you go faster, the amount of air being "processed" by the wing to make lift increases, and therefore the induced drag decreases, just as induced drag decreases with the square of the wing span. The wing makes lift by grabbing chunks of air and shoving them downwards. If the chunks of air get bigger due to more span, more airspeed, or if their density increases due to lower air temperature or altitude, the induced drag goes down.
This is why winglets are also often an easy sell on jet airliners and business jets. Those spend most of the mission either climbing, which is a low-speed, high lift and induced drag condition, or cruising at high altitude, where the air is so thin that it ends up being a high lift/high induced drag condition where winglets can help significantly.
OTOH, our models, particularly sailplanes, usually have a wide range of operating points where efficiency matters, everything from low speed/high lift (thermalling, launching, landing) to high speed/low lift (the end phases of launch, penetrating upwind). Winglets always have a "crossover velocity", the velocity above which the winglet's own parasite and induced drags add up to more than the portion of the wing's induced drag they are recovering. Our models typically spend a significant part of their mission profile above the crossover velocity, and so the overall benefit of wingets tends to be questionable.
There have been a number of tests by various modelers (Chuck Anderson's tests in particular) that seemed to demonstrate an advantage at thermalling speeds. The way Chuck likes to fly, he spends most of his time at low speeds, which makes the winglets an easier sell for his case. His tests involved making removable winglets on a "floater" type sailplane, flying the plane with both and trimming the plane for level flight, then removing the winglet on one side and noting which way the plane wanted to turn. He did show that the plane consistently tried to turn away from the winglet in a mostly yawing motion, suggesting a drag benefit. However, winglets do create rolling moments, so there is still room for debate on whether his results in part or in whole were due to that factor. What is not in question is that at high speeds, the winglets would not have helped.
In the case of the Skydream, we have a very short span, wide chord wing that is likely to have fairly high induced drag, making the ground for a crop of winglets somewhat more fertile.
However, there is another way to deal with the winglet's own parasite and induced drag: make it do double duty. If you can make the winglet perform in place of something else that you would need to have anyway (typically a vertical fin to provide yaw stability), then the winglet's drag is already "paid for", and any recovery from the wing's induced drag is then a bonus.
In addition, if we can situate the winglet further aft of the wing tip, where the wing's tip vortex is more fully developed, it's easier to recover more of the energy from the wing's induced drag. The C-wing configuration does exactly this, using the vertical portion of the winglet to provide a further-aft mounting point for the horizontal portion, essentially "for free" from a structural cost standpoint.
In the case of the C-wing such as the Skydream, removing the horizontal portion of the winglet would remove the part of the winglet most likely to be providing a benefit, and replacing it with a canard that does not have any recovery-of-induced-drag benefits. At best you can hope for a break-even, although most likely there will be a net loss.

Morris Claiborne is the new guy. He's an ultra-talented new guy with seemingly limitless potential, but he's still the new guy at a very demanding position. As such, he's had his fair share of trouble here in the first week of camp, as he adjusts to the speed of the pro game.
Not only is Claiborne a rookie, but he missed all of organized team activities and mini-camps as he recovered from offseason wrist surgery. He was burned by Raymond Radway on for a touchdown on Wednesday, and earlier in the week struggled to cover Dez Bryant. But he's also shown some flashes of promise, like when he broke up a pass intended for Bryant just a few minutes after the aforementioned Radway touchdown.
To be sure, the veterans on the team completing passes on Claiborne is to be expected, and the rookie isn't going to let the inevitable adjustment period get him down.
"The things that's going on out there right now, I expected," Claiborne said Wednesday, per ESPN Dallas. "My standards for myself are really high and I go out with a mentality, I'm not going to go out there and catch a ball on me. But I know these guys are pros also and they've been here and they've been doing it and they're going to catch balls on me. It just all depends what you do after they catch the ball. You can't let that haunt you for the rest of the day. You've got to come back out there and you've got to battle."

Stars of "Looking" Spotted Around Town as Filming Begins for Season Two
Scott Lucas | Photo: Courtesy Andrew Haigh/Instagram via SFist | August 27, 2014
Let's look at what happened to Looking while we weren't looking.
The greatest piece of plotless cinema verite since the Red Balloon is gearing up to begin filming in San Francisco again. That's right, Season Two of HBO's Looking is just around the corner.
In fact, SFist reports that celebrity sightings have already begun to trickle in. "A friend tells SFist that they saw Jonathan Groff out jogging near Golden Gate Park on Saturday, and several people reported seeing Russell Tovey, who plays Groff's British love interest/boss Kevin, at SoMa gay bar The Powerhouse, possibly with his husband in tow." A call for extras has also gone out.
But there's even more. San Francisco's Senior Looking-at-Looking-Looker, Ellen Cushing, reports that she's had a brush with fame of her own. "I was at a cafe near their soundstage and saw the guy who plays Dom. His name is Murray," she says. "I said hey. We didn't interact."
As for what the second season of the show might entail, speculation is running rampant. We asked Cushing to share her predictions. Here's what she told us:
"We know Russell Tovey is signed on for Season 2, so it's safe to assume that the Kevin-Patrick thread will pick up again. Of course, anyone who's even remotely emotionally stable is rooting for the Patrick-Richie relationship, but if we've learned anything about Looking, it's that it doesn't make things easy for viewers, so I'd expect that Kevin will continue to get in the way. I'm hoping Agustin will do serious soul-searching this season—the finale certainly set him up for some—and that Dom will continue his relationship with Lynn. Also that the writers come to their senses and give Doris something to do other than talk to or about Dom (just because it's a gay show doesn't mean it gets a pass on the Bechdel test!!)."

Heading for the ferry this morning as I popped on my iPod and set it to shuffle the first song that came on was Nickelback's "You Remind Meâ€, how appropriate (as I was walking to my office when I got to Wall St Green Day' Boulevard of Broken Dreams came on now that's freaky) for what happened last night in DC and the uneasiness right now in the Land of Orange and Blue.
As much as Dirty Sanchez sucked balls last night, the offense was the worst culprit of the night. It just seems who ever is up with bases loaded hits into a double play. I would have bet my house that the Mets lead baseball in most hit into DP's but they don't in fact they rank 18th in most GDP's but isn't it every game now that the DP is a rally killer?
I'm glad to see J-Man take my advice and throw Bobby Parnell a bone and use Ricardo Rincon as well. Now if he can free Al Reyes we can see who are the most effective pitchers in the pen. It's the old throw the shit on the wall and see what sticks. It's not the way to run a team and that brings me to this conclusion on the J-Man –Omar Minaya relationship.
I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that Warlord Jerry will be the Mets manager in 2009.  I look at the way J-Man has used the personnel since the first of the month call ups and I get the feeling that Omar and J-Man are not exactly on the same page as it comes to who plays and who sits. J-Man has made it known that playing time is done through a meritocracy and not pay checks. This theory crossed my mind listening to Gary Cohen say the Mets were going to have Parnell pitch a simulated game to get some work and see where he stood to get some pen work. That to me has Omar/ Tony B fingerprints all over it and as the losses and blown saves add up and Omar starts to realize that if the Mets don't make the post season he could be on the unemployment line, how much arm twisting does he do with the manager to get things done the way he wants?
Is there any other team in sports that fucks around with injured players like the Mets? It's a testament to how much pressure Omar Minaya is feeling that he hasn't sent John Maine to see a surgeon to get that bone spur on his rotator cuff taken care of. All we here is that Maine can not do any more damage to his shoulder and I'm supposed to believe that. BULLSHIT. Billy Wagner had a cramp in his forearm too and Ryan Church had a slight headache and Gimp Castillo has a touch of traumatism.   Then the Skill Sets want to know why the organization is treated like a bunch of chumps by fans and media.
I don't know how these two guys went a stray in their baseball loyalties  but when it comes to hip and cool in the blogesphre Repoz and Alex Bleth are the hippest and coolest Check out this post from Repoz on Bleth' Bronx Banter site on his memory of Highlander Stadium and Michael Burke the man who ran the Bronx Bastards into the ground before the Robber Baron took over. Some Highlander historian needs to write a book on the men who have run that franchise throughout their history.  Repoz and Belth are like the double bill I saw at Max's of Iggy Pop and Mink DeVille back in the day.
Mike Silva has a piece on the Mets shuffling off their Triple A team to Buffalo which is a solid move.
Someone at WFAN better wake up fast and clean up the mess on that station between 1-6 as Francesca on the FAN should be changes to Floundering on the FAN. You can't have a round guy that is so square do a show by himself as Francesca lacks the personality to carry it off. Whatever you think of Chris Russo he had the chops to do it but lacked the overall sports knowledge that Pope Mike possesses. That's what made them so successful each guy had his strength and weaknesses and they played off each beautifully. Â

Johannesburg - Pikitup workers affiliated to the SA Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) laid bare the challenges between them and their employer in Johannesburg on Wednesday, vowing to intensify an illegal strike that has been continuing for four weeks.
More than 4 000 workers embarked on an illegal strike four weeks ago, on March 2, demanding salary increases of between R6 000 and R10 000 a month, and that the managing director of the Johannesburg waste management entity, Amanda Nair, be removed.
On Tuesday, striking Pikitup workers were in full force in Johannesburg CBD emptying rubbish bins on the streets in front of metro police, following their clashes with the police a week ago.
Speaking on SAfm's Forum at 8 radio show, Samwu said Pikitup was negotiating in bad faith and confusing issues on purpose to frustrate the workers.
Samwu's regional deputy secretary Paul Tlhabang told the radio station its members would continue to ignore Pikitup's notices of dismissal.
Read also: Samwu: Pikitup strikers deserve decent pay
"We are dealing here with issues of transformation agenda and employment equity, not bargaining council. What we are saying is that there is an obligation on the employers to comply with Employment Equity Act.
"One of the issues is to progressively address the issue of salary anomalies which Pikitup has failed to do. Instead they are selecting an individual few and adjusting salaries of those who are favourites at the expense of the majority."
Tlhabang said there were other municipal-owned enterprises that progressed salaries, unlike Pikitup, and the call for R10 000 a month was just to benchmark the salaries.
Matshidiso Mfikoe, City of Joburg's member of the mayoral committee on environment and infrastructure, said Samwu had disrupted the meeting that was scheduled to give a proposal to the striking workers.
"We cannot be talking when people are toyi-toying," she said.
Mfikoe said the city had crunched the numbers and come up with a proposal for salary increases that it could proceed to implement, but it "wanted to present it to the union first".

But, Mfikoe said, this increase would not be up to R10 000.
"There has not been any commitment by the city that we will pay R10 000. That is just the union demand. We are not responsible for salary negotiations. That is done at SA Local Government Association (Salga) because this is not only salaries for Pikitup but for other entities as well," Mfikoe said.
She dismissed Samwu's demand to suspend Pikitup managing director, Amanda Nair, saying the City could not sanction anyone without following due process.
"We only received Samwu's dossier with allegations against Nair yesterday. We sat with the mayor and looked at each allegation. We will announce the way forward in due course as to whether we will appoint an independent investigator for the new allegations," she said. Mfikoe said the main issue of conflict was "co-management of the entity [Pikitup] with the union".
She said last year Pikitup had received a clean audit and made a surplus for the first time since it was started 12 years ago. Pikitup spokesperson Jacky Mashapu agreed with Mfikoe, adding Samwu was disingenuous as it was also part of the negotiation team at Salga.
"We need to create a positive climate of negotiations and workers need to go back to work while their issues are attended to. We also need to ensure that we provide the best service to residents," Mashapu said.
A Johannesburg resident who called in to the radio show said citizens were being "short-changed" and that Pikitup seemed not to have any contingency plan in place.
Another caller suggested the service be returned to the municipal's control so that residents could forward complaints directly to the city. Pikitup has invited the media to accompany workers on a night shift on Wednesday to understand the work it does.

Guus Hiddink orders Chelsea players to do the 'dirty work' to rescue their season
GUUS HIDDINK has ordered Chelsea's players to get stuck in and do the "dirty work" to rescue their season.
Guus Hiddink has helped lift Chelsea six points above the relegation zone since being appointed
Chelsea cruised to their third game unbeaten under the veteran Dutchman as they crushed Crystal Palace at a rain-sodden Selhurst Park with goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa.
It was only their second away league win of the campaign and lifted them to six points above the relegation zone after vastly improved performances from players like John Obi Mikel and Cesc Fabregas.
Hiddink said: "This league is very demanding. If you think you can win it just on your quality this league will kill you.
"These players know how to play. We don't need to add a lot to their quality. But we have started working. The players have started to invest in what I call the 'dirty work', and not just the beautiful game.
"They have started working, players like Willian and Oscar. We talked about it. If they have this quality, then they must produce and then we enjoy how they can play."
Mikel seemed to be on his way out of the club under predecessor Jose Mourinho, but Hiddink said: "He played very well. He is the ideal player to bring balance to the team.
Hiddink beleives John Obi Mikel brings 'balance to the team'
"Previously, Chelsea conceded a lot of goals. I thought John Obi could be one of the key figures in getting back the balance. He can recover, he knows how to read the game very well. He is very, very elegant.
"That is what I like to see. Not just a quality player, but one who can defend so smoothly. He very rarely gives the ball away."
Palace boss Alan Pardew, on his first anniversary as manager at Selhurst Park, moaned: "We needed the first goal after not scoring for a couple of games and having so many injuries, and we didn't get that.
"When they got their goal you could see their spirit lift and ours diminish and that was the story of the game. They pushed on and we didn't."

All suited up
"That old Vanessa is gone. I am a woman who is caring, compassionate, educated and professional." Vanessa Moore draws a real distinction between her life a few years ago when she was just out of prison, homeless with two children. Now, as an employed mother and graduate student, she mentors other women.
After serving her three years in prison and finishing her degree at Metropolitan State University, Moore felt something was still missing in her life.
"I was expected to go to work and be a professional, but I didn't know how to do that," Moore said. "I had a degree but no work experience. I had never heard of a 30-second elevator speech."
That's where Dress for Success Twin Cities entered Moore's life. When a volunteer counselor told her it was "time to step out of your comfort zone; you don't know what opportunities you are limiting yourself to," she said, "It was like my 'aha' moment."
The group, an affiliate of an international organization, helps women to enter and thrive in the mainstream workplace. It promotes self-sufficiency for women through job readiness and employment retention programs. And Dress for Success provides professional clothing for women who are at or below the poverty level who may not have access to a workday wardrobe.
After she came out of the first appointment with an image coach to help her select clothing, Moore described her new confidence. "I can look good and feel good," she said. "I walked away with that."
The women learn to "dress for success" - both physically and metaphorically.
"We all have that outfit we wear that we feel we look good in," said executive director Jeri Quest. "It gives you a sense of confidence and power and strength. We seek to give [clients] that same feeling. They can do this. If they feel like they look like those around them, they are more confident."
The program does not end with getting the clothing or the job.
"They don't just give you a suit and cut you loose," Moore said.
Moore's next step after landing a job was joining Dress for Success' Professional Women's Group program (PWG), for networking and ongoing career skill development. There she saw and heard from successful women as role models and mentors.
"I call the PWG women my sisters. We have the camaraderie and power of women of all different walks of life when we come together with one goal - to be successful and live our dreams."
Dress for Success serves 600 women in the Twin Cities each year. The biggest obstacle to serving more women is the need for more volunteers. The more volunteers the group has, the more women it can serve. "The enthusiasm, coaching and excitement to help, combined with the client's desire to succeed, make it something really special," Quest said.

I have a 2011 Splawn Nitro that is in good shape for trade! This amp has the effects loop volume control. I had new kt88's installed in this amp and serviced by Scott Splawn in November. Since then I have not really spent any time playing on it. The tubes probably have around 10 hours on them. The amp works perfectly with no issues (when I had it at Splawns shop I had them go through the amp and make sure that everything was good). It comes with the footswitch and cable. I also have an additional black classic/plexi style head shell with it.
I am looking for Gibson Les Paul's in exchange! Thanks for looking

7 years ago we lived in Fremont and loved the Indian food there, but now we get our Indian in the South Bay. We have family coming that wants good Indian and we will be over by Fremont, so we thought we'd revisit that scene. They are Indian inexperienced, and their favorite is butter chicken of course. I love South Indian not so much the creamy toned down curries of a lot of North Indian restaurants in the area, but maybe someplace that does an OK butter chicken or makhani (paneer OK) in addition to South Indian or less cream laden North Indian specialties?
When we lived in Fremont we often did the buffet at Bombay Garden in its heyday, but I know it has varied in quality over the years.
So, where is the best Indian (north or south or otherwise) in the East Bay nowdays. Will drive into Berkeley, but Fremont is more convenient. Atmosphere isn't an issue - just good food. If you have favorite dishes, feel free to suggest.
