Northern Iowans are Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings fans. This fact could be portentous 16 months from now when the Iowa caucuses occur and Minnesota's two-term governor, Tim Pawlenty, probably will be seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
The son of a South St. Paul truck driver, Pawlenty was 16 when his mother died. A short while later, his father lost his job. Nevertheless, Pawlenty became his family's first college graduate. His political message - he calls himself a Sam's Club rather than a country club Republican - should resonate in a social climate conditioned by voters' recoil against spending and the political class that does it. "All the stuff the country is now favoring, I've done," he says.
Settled by many Scandinavians and Germans who arrived with European, especially Bismarckian, notions of social democracy, Minnesota has furnished leaders of American liberalism - Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Mondale, Paul Wellstone. In the four decades before Pawlenty was elected governor in 2002, the average two-year increase in state spending was 21 percent. During his tenure, the average annual increase has been 2 percent. He says the current two-year budget cycle will be the first in 150 years in which spending will be cut in real, constant dollars.
It took, he said, "World War III" with the teachers unions to make Minnesota the first state to offer performance pay for teachers statewide. The state is second in the nation in health savings accounts: Approximately 10 percent of privately insured Minnesotans have these tax-preferred savings accounts that enable them to shop for routine health needs not covered by high-deductible insurance plans.
Pawlenty has benefited from an affliction - Minnesota's Legislature. Currently, Republicans are outnumbered 47-87 in the House and 21-46 in the Senate. As a result, he has had, and has seized, ample opportunities to veto things, including increases in taxes on incomes, gasoline, beer and wine. He holds the Minnesota record for most vetoes cast in a single legislative session. The Cato Institute murmurs, "Be still my heart!"
A libertarian think tank ardent for government both limited and frugal, Cato gives A grades to only four governors - Mark Sanford, R-S.C., Bobby Jindal, R-La., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pawlenty, the only one governing a blue state.
Pawlenty dismisses the Obama administration's stimulus as "mostly government sustenance money." He would have preferred a cut in payroll taxes. Actually, giving the nation a complete one-year holiday from federal payroll taxes would have been no more expensive and more stimulative than Obama's stimulus.
One challenge Pawlenty faces is how to solve the problem of "Minnesota nice" - his state's reputation for a pleasantness incompatible with today's appetite for politics with a serrated edge.
He is, therefore, eager to emphasize brawls he has initiated, and won, such as cutting $2 billion from public employees' pensions and helping to win a 44-day bus strike - it concerned retirement benefits - in this, the nation's 16th largest metropolitan area.
His mild manner seems to appeal to some jalapeño-flavored conservatives. A new biography of Rush Limbaugh says that, so far, Pawlenty is second only to Sarah Palin as Limbaugh's choice for 2012. Dick Armey - the former Texas congressman who became majority leader when Republicans took control of the House in 1994 - is about as close to a leader of the tea party movement as its agreeable anarchy permits. He has his "eye on Pawlenty," who is on the "safest ground" of any potential candidate: "He has no major disappointments behind him."
Undeterred by the fact that George W. Bush is the only Republican since Dwight Eisenhower to win in his first try for the presidency, Pawlenty has dutifully enriched his resume for national office by visiting Iraq five times and Afghanistan three times. And Iowa six times this year.

To make the sombreros, the children coloured large pieces of paper then I placed the paper on their heads and taped around it. We curled up the edges and glued on pom poms.
I was able to find fiesta beads at a local dollar store to make the necklaces - they went perfectly with our theme! The jugs were made from large soap containers and we used tissue paper and modge podge (watered down white glue) to decorate the jugs. I added duct tape around the cut edge of each jug so they wouldn't be sharp and they added the tissue paper all around the edge and into the jug covering the tape... it worked great! We used the jugs for a tossing the ball game.
We also played Pin the Tail on the Burro.
We made a ribbon piñata for the party. The children layered crepe paper around a box and we snipped the bottoms of each row. I poked holes into the bottom and cut a trap door in the bottom of the box. Ribbons were poked through the many holes and I tied one of the ribbons through a hole to secure it to the trap door so it would release the door when pulled. I ensured the door would not open with the weight of the goodies inside by adding a small piece of masking tape to each cut side of the trap door. I enjoyed this type of piñata with my group much better... no worrying about someone getting hit with the bat or having to blindfold anyone.

Lateral Hip Abduction Squat Walk
Note: You'll need tubing or bands.
This is a great exercise to strengthen the abductors and the medial gluteal muscles. This area, when weak, can create alignment issues that can lead to knee pain. Strengthen this part of your body by doing some easy side-to-side movements.
Get into a simple 45-degree squat, have the tubing/bands on both areas of the ankle and step to the side. Make sure there is constant tension on the band when you're moving side to side. If you allow the tension to slack or get easy, then you are defeating the purpose of this exercise. Do three sets of 15 to 20 reps per side.

There hasn't been a more frustrating prospect in fantasy baseball this year than Cleveland Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer.
After the Arizona Diamondbacks selected him third overall in the 2011 draft and signed him to a $4.45 million major league contract, Bauer was supposed to progress rapidly through the minors. He did that, reaching Double-A at the end of his first pro summer and the majors just 11 months after signing.

Deadline to File is July 31, 2012
View the Federal Register notice (PDF format)
On June 1, 2012, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a notice of intent to distribute assessed antidumping or countervailing duties, also known as continued dumping and subsidy offsets, for fiscal year 2012 pursuant to the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (the Byrd Amendment). The notice provides the case name and number of each antidumping and countervailing duty order or finding for which funds may become available for distribution, as well as a list of affected domestic producers that may be eligible to receive a distribution. Domestic producers who are not listed, but believe they are eligible for a particular distribution may also submit a certification to claim a distribution under a particular order or finding.
In order to be eligible to receive a distribution for fiscal year 2012, companies must file certifications to obtain a continued dumping and subsidy offset under a particular order or finding by July 31, 2012. This requirement applies to both listed domestic producers and unlisted producers intending to claim a distribution. CBP will deny certifications received after July 31, 2012, making such claimants ineligible for the distribution.
Although the Byrd Amendment was repealed in 2005, duties collected on entries filed before October 1, 2007, will continue to be distributed. In the notice of intent, CBP states that, while the distribution process will continue for an undetermined period, the amount of money available for distribution is expected to diminish over time. CBP also noted that the distributions may be subject to recovery as a result of reliquidations, court actions, administrative errors, and other reasons.

Google has rolled out a neat new feature for Chromebook users. Starting today, and lasting through the end of September, select Chromebook users can get a free 60 day pass to All Access. In looking through the list of Chromebooks which can take advantage, we're not seeing many that won't get the option to try All Access out.
Even the older Samsung Chromebook will get All Access for 60 days. The Chromebook Pixel is also there, as are — well, all the Chromebooks, it seems. Google didn't say every Chromebook would be eligible, but it looks as though they are. This offer is for new All Access subscribers, with existing customers being left to their monthly subscription plan.
After the 60 day trial ends, Google notes the plan will automatically switch over to a paid plan. The $9.99/month will automatically be billed to your card on file, unless you cancel before it switches over. If you're not interested in paying for All Access, Google suggests you make changes to your Play Music profile just before it switches to paid.
If you've ever taken advantage of an All Access offer — like many I/O attendees did — you're also ineligible for this one. This is for Chromebook owners who have no signed up for All Access, which we can only assume is a very niche demographic. Even with a growing fanbase of Chrome OS devotees, those who want All Access is likely a very small percentage.
We like All Access quite a bit, and the increasing library makes it one of the better paid options around. Though it doesn't have everything we want, the low monthly payment keeps us around. If you haven't yet given All Access a shot, you should. Paid or not, it's definitely a service to check out.

We made a difference in Europe during World War II by partnering with the Soviets. After that moment of unity, we spent decades fighting them during the Cold War, including its associated proxies. An old adage states that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Right now, despite the obvious political opposition, our common enemy is the fiscal cliff. This problem has been extended for years. Now is the time to unite and fix this for once and for all.
Economists warn that inaction could lead to a double-dip recession.
I would like to respond to Parker Quinlan's letter, "Letter writers should cite facts, not hate speech," published in the Dec. 9 edition of The Lancaster News.
The letter writer does not cite any facts in his opinion piece, just opinion, which is fine. It lets us know how that the liberal left does not need any facts to support opinions. He claims to collect information scientifically and values truth more than anything. No support for that statement is given.
I am writing to share the outrage I felt as I read the story, "Father gets one year for incest" in the December 12, 2012, issue of The Lancaster News.
How can it be that a man who committed such a dreadful crime be given a suspended 15-year sentence to just one year?
As a teacher and therapeutic foster parent, I have witnessed first-hand the challenges and devastation that face children who have endured child abuse from a parent – the one who is suppose to love and protect them.
The Lancaster News is filled with depressing stories at a time when we should be happy and filled with a spirit of helping others. Just when things seem so bleak, I happened to become aware of angels in our midst.
The service station was very crowded when I pulled up to the pump. The car to my left was in pretty bad shape and the occupants looked as if they had seen better days, too.
The United States is nearing an economic collapse, leaving more than $16.3 trillion of debt to our children, their children, etc., with accounts payable to China, Saudi Arabia and others.
President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats continue to demand more tax increases now, with promised spending reductions further down the road of future years. Capitol Hill Democrats never deliver except in cutting our U.S. military budget.
I am writing to express my extreme anger and frustration at our president, cabinet members and Congress members for continuing to dwell on the four Americans who were killed at the embassy in Benghazi.
First, these so-called representatives and government lawmakers made this tragedy a political stumping ground during the presidential campaigning even after Ambassador Chris Stevens' father told the press that his son would not appreciate that.
According to information presented at the Nov. 26 Lancaster County Council meeting, at its Nov. 19 meeting Lancaster City Council voted to retain its own 911 center and will not participate in the E-911 Center being developed by the county.
Two weeks ago, members of the Lancaster County Council voted to adopt a smoke-free indoor workplace law that takes effect on March 1, 2013.
The major voluntary health organizations would like to thank council members for their efforts to protect Lancaster County workers, residents and visitors by adopting this law.
The U.S. surgeon general, our nation's top health official, determined there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

SAN DIEGO -- City Attorney Casey Gwinn filed a response to the Chargers' lawsuit on Monday, contending the team hasn't met the complicated financial formula that could allow it to either seek a new stadium or leave town.
Gwinn also revealed that San Diego officials recently warned five West Coast cities and a development group not to negotiate with the Chargers while the team remains under contract to play in San Diego.
The city sent "stay-away" letters on Jan. 9 to Carson, Anaheim,Long Beach and Pasadena, all in the Los Angeles area, and toPortland, Ore. It also sent one to the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which at one time proposed building a stadium in downtownLos Angeles to attract an NFL team. AEG later dropped thoseplans.
AEG built the Home Depot Center in Carson, which also had been considered as a potential stadium site. The Chargers moved their training camp there last summer.
"We sent them those letters because we wanted to put them on notice that we're in a binding contract with the San Diego Chargers and we don't want anyone interfering with those contractual rights," Gwinn said.
"Every one of them responded by saying either they hadn't been talking to the Chargers or that they had no interest in talking to the Chargers."
The Chargers filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Nov. 25, asking a judge to validate the "trigger" clause in its stadium lease that would allow them to renegotiate the deal. The Chargers, which said it needs a new stadium to remain financially competitive with other teams, agreed on Dec. 30 to move the suit to San Diego.
The trigger clause can only be activated if the team's salaries and benefits exceed its salary cap, which team officials said happened in 2002.
In its cross-complaint filed on Monday, the city says it doesn't believe the Chargers have met the trigger requirements.
"Fortunately for taxpayers, these issues will be decided by a judge in a court of law," Chargers spokesman Mark Fabiani said in a statement. "The Chargers are extremely confident in our case, and nothing we have seen in the city's response has changed our view. The Chargers remain determined to give the public the answer it deserves on the trigger."
In a second part of its cross-complaint, the city asked a judge to rule on the impact of a trigger, if the Chargers have indeed met the requirements.
Gwinn said the city believes an "impact" exists only if the Chargers are experiencing financial hardship.
"No one could say with a straight face that they're suffering financial hardship," Gwinn said. "We believe they're making tens of millions of dollars a year. If they have triggered, we don't think anything happens."
Gwinn said it could be 12 to 18 months before the case goes to trial. The case has been assigned to San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Hayes, but no hearings have been set.
The city will request financial information from the Chargers within the week, Gwinn said, and some of it could be sensitive.
"Discovery issues will be intense," he said. "The burden is on the Chargers. They filed this lawsuit."
Fabiani said the Chargers opened their books to the city in March, "and we've seen or heard nothing since to call the trigger calculation into question."

It was a quintessential tabloid exposé, featuring a high-profile MP, a private investigator and an extramarital affair. But the News of the World initially spiked its story on Chris Huhne's relationship with his press adviser because he was "not famous enough", the former chief reporter has revealed.
Neville Thurlbeck, writing on his personal blog, recounted how the NoW sat on the story of Huhne's infidelity for a year. It was only after the Lib Dem MP became energy secretary in the coalition government in May 2010 that the editor, Colin Myler, felt the story was worth running.
Thurlbeck told how he hired a private investigator – Derek Webb (the so-called Silent Shadow) – to tail Huhne's lover, Carina Trimingham , from the MP's Eastleigh constituency to her London home.
He said he was tipped off about the story when he ran into an old contact by chance during a visit to parliament on another kiss-and-tell job. That story, about former Labour MP Nigel Griffiths, originated via a tip-off from a teenager, Thurlbeck revealed.
Thurlbeck also paid tribute to Isabel Oakeshott, the Sunday Times political editor who exposed Huhne's points swap. "I tip my hat to her," he said. "But it's odd to think all this unravelling and domino effect would never have happened if a nosy teenager in 2009 hadn't picked up the phone to me."

The proposed merger of Delta and Eagan-based Northwest Airlines is drawing legal fire from some customers who contend the deal would severely harm competition in the airline industry.
San Francisco antitrust attorney Joseph Alioto has filed a lawsuit intended to block the merger of Delta and Northwest. The suit was filed on behalf of some Northwest and Delta customers.
Alioto contends the merger of the two airlines would raise fares, reduce flights, and cost lots of workers their jobs.
The airline says the merger would benefit consumers and not result in widespread service cuts or job losses. Northwest said it expects the U.S. Department of Justice will approve the merger by the end of the year.
But Alioto argues the Justice Department, under the Bush administration, cannot be trusted to thoroughly examine how the merger could harm competition.

It is sooooo hard to know what to expect with labour, even if you've been through it before.
Lots of women also make an elaborate labour plan, and then find things go completely differently to aht they expected.
With my first baby, my waters broke at around 36 weeks, completely out of the blue- no warning at all- I went to hospital, but I didn't go into labour- ie- no contractions, and I didn't dialate, so I was induced the next day.
Sometimes, you'll get the contractions first, and from what i've read, it's like a sqeezing pain, that reaches a peak for a few seconds, then goes away again, and the pains gradually get longer and closer together- your waters might break at some stage after the pains start, and labour will progress quite quickly after that. Sometimes the waters don't break and have to be ruptured by the nurses during labour.
There is also something called "backache" labour, which occurs sometimes if the baby is in a funny position- this just feels like a gradually worsening backache until well into the labour process.
You can never know- and sometimes, contractions start up, and then stop for a while, or you'll get a long one, followed by a short one and you won't know where you are !!!!!!!
It sounds like you are soo close now, it could be any time, just try not to think about it, stay close to home, and if you feel pains, try to gauge are the getting stonger, longer or closer together.
I'm sure you have all your bags packed and ready- I did !!!! Rest up, and enjoy the last few days of being able to, you'll be wishing you had this time back again in a few days, trust me!!!
Take care.

General Question
Why were you a cutter?
My baby sister is talented and in the 7th grade. She likes drawing and playing assorted instruments. I'm 25 years old, so I was shocked to find out from my 18 year old sister that my baby sister had been cutting her arm. My kid sister said she's on it and has said that baby sister has stopped, but it troubles me, naturally. Kid sister told me not to mention anything to baby sister and is overall working things out and so far has been good.
Question: What made you start cutting? Did you get over it? How?
Should I get involved? Mother works 2 jobs and I visited her the other day to drop off some lunch and didn't tell me anything about the cutting. I think my mom was scared that I might take action in a yelling match or something, which I wouldn't but I would express my disappointment. Her father is a burnout, he's my moms ex boyfriend who lives in the same apartment as my mother and sister.
Thanks for what you have to offer.

Pulled a secret Santa that you just don't know that well? tweeSP can help. It uses a super-secret method of telepathy (or, rather, an algorithm) to determine the top gifts for any Twitter user. I tested it out on myself below, for a mixed bag of results.
tweeSP is powered by Amazon, and as such all of the gift ideas Can be purchased from Amazon directly. And the makers of tweeSP aren't taking any of the affiliate fees for themselves – they're donating all of the proceeds to Toys for Tots.
There were some pretty random items on my Twitter gift list, including a high-powered drill set, a croquet set, and a super-warm sleeping bag (although this might be explained by my living in Canada). However, most of the books on the list were actually pretty good. They included books about freelance writing, the media, niche websites, and literature. Good stuff!
This is a fun little gadget even if you aren't planning on buying a gift for a certain Twitter user. tweeSP has a list of popular Twitter users that you can test its program out on, including Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert and Katy Perry. Apparently, the US president would like nothing more than the newest model of the Apple iPod, a rotary tool kit, and "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Your Military and Veteran Benefits". Oh, and he's also into House, M.D..

President Obama suggested to a wealthy group of campaign donors that they make $10 million contributions to his official super PAC, despite his regular complaints that such entities exist.
"The bad news is that these folks have super PACs that are writing $10 million checks and have the capacity to just bury us under the kind of advertising that we've never seen before," Obama said told about 200 people at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. ("Tickets for the event start at $12,500 per family," per the pool report.)
"We don't need to match these folks dollar for dollar," Obama continued. "We can't. I mean, if somebody here has a $10 million check — (laughter) — I can't solicit it from you, but feel free to use it wisely. But that's not our game. Our game is grassroots."
The law firm Bell, McAndrews, and Hiltachk (BMH) explains that "Federal candidates/officeholders may solicit up to $5,000 from individuals (and other sources not prohibited by the Act from making a contribution to a political committee) on behalf of a Super PAC."
During his 2010 State of the Union address, President Obama denounced the Supreme Court justices for the ruling that made super PACs possible, as they sat listening to his speech.
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said during the State of the Union. "I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people."
Justice Samuel Alito attracted attention when a camera caught him mouthing the words "not true" as Obama characterized the court's ruling.
BHM Law notes that super PACs "may not, however, solicit or accept contributions from foreign nationals."
Obama's team, back when it opposed super PACs, responded to the court's ruling by saying that "Neither the President nor his campaign staff or aides will fundraise for super PACs." When the Obama campaign decided to embrace a super PAC, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that "the President, Vice President, First Lady, Dr. Biden will not appear at any of these events associated with these organizations."

Network Problems
Hi all,
I'm having several problems which I think all may stem from the same root.
I took my computer on my vacation with me and did nothing/very little with it online. It was when I got back that problems started.
First off, my FTP program, FileZilla, no longer works. I tried two other programs and they couldn't access my server either. Finally I got access with a web-based FTP.
I noticed today that my bluetooth adapter seems to have totally vanished from my computer. I usually leave the adapted disabled, so sometimes the icon vanishes from the system tray. But this time, I could not get that icon back there. I tried to download HP Wireless Assistant (which somehow got deleted from my computer a long time back) as I remembered on there you could control adapter settings and enable them.
I couldn't download the driver, as any site I went to was trying to download it from an ftp:// location which HP had set up. Coincidence with first problem? I then though the problem might be with the bluetooth driver, and tried to download that from HP's website. Same problem with download as the HP Wireless program.
I've done a restore back to July 12th, the earliest my computer had saved. Problems still persist.
To top it off, my brother cannot download the HP software from his computer either (same house). This makes me wonder if maybe the entire problem is stemming from the network we are on, somehow. I know this isn't a whole lot of information, but it's all I have :P
Quite frankly, trying to solve this has been infuriating. I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks!

The Memorator has a 26 pin HD DSUB that connects to a splitter with five 9 pin DSUBs, and one USB connector that links to any USB port on a host computer. Only one USB port needs to be allocated when monitoring multiple CAN buses, reducing the need for an external hub in many applications.
A special feature of the 5-channel Memorator Professional is its ability to run user scripts. Like other Kvaser's products such the Eagle interface and data logger, the Memorator Pro 5xHS's script functionality allows users to develop customised applications written in the Kvaser t programming language. Examples of such applications are CAN protocol converters and gateways as well as CAN logging functionality. Application-specific scripts for this device will also be available from Kvaser's network of technical associates, who contribute their respective domain expertise. As such, this device is designed to appeal to engineers in industries as broad ranging as automotive development, machine control and industrial network connectivity.
When connected to a host computer, the Memorator is by default switched to interface mode whereas when connected only to CAN, it is in data logger mode. Power is derived from the USB connection, CAN and an in-built power supply. A firmware upgrade for CAN Flexible Date Rate (CAN FD) can be expected soon.

Faculty Profile: Roger DeKock
May 23, 2008
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of faculty profiles that will be featured at Calvin News & Stories over the course of the summer.
He does not have cable, and he subscribes to The Atlantic Monthly. He owns a 1983 Goldwing motorcycle, and his great uncle hid Jews in his barn in the Netherlands during WWII. His favorite molecule is water.
"I have been interested in chemistry since 1960," said Calvin professor of chemistry Roger DeKock , "What is that? 48 years? … I want to know at the molecular level, 'How does that happen?'"
DeKock's current research has brought him to that level, where he works with his favorite molecule. "I started to get into water during my '03-'04 sabbatical in Calgary," DeKock said. "Part of my research there dealt with water molecules: hydrogen atoms in aqueous systems can be very mobile."
Before DeKock earned Fulbright and NATO scholarships for his research, before his life's work brought him into contact with prominent social conflicts of the 20th century began, he was a growing boy in Prairie City, Iowa where, "the prairie was there; the city was not," he remarked. "I was third in my grade school class; there were five of us."
When it came time for college, DeKock followed the path forged by his older brother: a degree in chemistry from Calvin College. "I thought he was above me," he said of his model.
In hopes of becoming a high school chemistry teacher, DeKock took honors chemistry during his first semester. "After that first semester I wanted to go for a higher degree," he said.
When not studying, DeKock was working at The Butterwagon, an old-fashioned burger joint, which, he joked, should have had a "heart clinic" next to it. "I am very comfortable wearing an apron … .," DeKock said. "At church I do communion preparation—I tend to wear an apron. One of the ministers was shocked. I was like, 'Why not?'"
In 1965, DeKock graduated from Calvin and attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison to pursue his PhD in theoretical chemistry. The next decade of his life would take a turn from flipping burgers and paying tuition.
"The early '60s were pretty peaceful for me. By the mid '60s, things heat up. … The whole mood of the country changed; I was a part of that," he explained. "During Vietnam, Wisconsin was a hotbed of anti-war activity." For instance, Dow Chemical Company, manufacturer of Agent Orange and napalm, was interviewing university students to work in their laboratories in Madison. "Students tried to blockade the interview process," remarked DeKock. "[We] had troops in research buildings."
In those same buildings, DeKock also studied computer-modeling. At the time, he said, pointing to his modern Dell machine, "The whole University of Wisconsin didn't have as much power as this computer."
After earning his PhD, DeKock realized there were no jobs in his field, and he pursued post-doctoral research at the University of Florida in Gainesville and also at Birmingham University in Birmingham, U.K. Though not the best career strategy, he acknowledged, "It was an adventure."
In 1972, DeKock took the first teaching job he was offered: in Beirut, Lebanon. He was an assistant professor of chemistry at the American University of Beirut. "People were warning me: this place is going to blow," he said of the then-impending Lebanese Civil War. "April 13, 1975 was our September 11," he said. He and his wife and their two children lived about a mile from downtown Beirut, "When we would go to bed at night we heard shelling … When it blew it was like a volcano," he added.
"I saw conflict on the University of Wisconsin in the form of National Guard troops, but I was an observer, whereas the conflict that I experienced in Beirut was much more visceral. In a way, I was an observer, but —at the time I had a family, I had my career, and it affected me personally," said DeKock.
DeKock and family retreated to the United States, where he took a teaching position at Calvin in 1976. He has been in the chemistry department for 36 years and five of them have been spent abroad, in countries including Canada and the Netherlands. Also, from 1992-1994, he was the head of the chemistry department for Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. DeKock regarded it as the "most exotic place" in his travels.
DeKock allowed that returning to the United States after several appointments abroad, "does take some getting used to. It's kind of a frenetic pace."
When not working, DeKock spends time with his wife Marcia whom he married in 1965. "I would not have been able to travel the world without her encouragement and support," he said. He has two children, Jonathan and Laura. He enjoys cycling around Reed's Lake and, on the '83 Goldwing, to places like Barry County and British Columbia.
Regarding his career, DeKock imparts the following advice, "If you want to make friends, don't tell them you're in chemistry," he said. "They always come up with some horror story from their previous study of chemistry."

Interleague Play ended league mystique
Moore: Interleague Play ended league mystique
Here's another reason: The loss of magic. I'm talking about individual magic. I mean, if there was Interleague Play when the late Harmon Killebrew spent his 22 seasons through 1975 in the Major Leagues, his mixture of truth and mystery wouldn't have existed as much for some of us.
OK, for me.
I grew up in the Midwest, mostly as an NL guy in Cincinnati, which meant that, since Killebrew was the ultimate AL guy with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals, I rarely saw him play.
We're talking about the dark ages of baseball, when the only time you experienced games and players of teams in that other league was with a powerful radio signal at night or through the Saturday Game of the Week on national television.
Years later, the networks added Monday Night Baseball, but when it came to seeing the other league, that was about it.
And it was splendid.
I'm back to Killebrew's mixture of truth and mystery.
As for truth, Killebrew was a slugger for the ages, especially during his reign of terror against pitchers with the Twins from the 1960s through the early '70s. Despite the presence of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson and the rest, nobody slammed more home runs during the 1960s than Killebrew. In fact, he ranks second only to Babe Ruth with eight seasons of more than 40 homers.
Did I also mention that Killebrew was an 11-time All-Star, and that he won the AL's Most Valuable Player Award in 1969? Plus, he joined the likes of Mickey Mantle, Darryl Strawberry and Pee Wee Reese with one of the greatest-sounding names in baseball history.
As for mystery, there was no Interleague Play back then, and neither did we have the slew of televised baseball games we have now. So a bunch of us mostly just read or heard about Killebrew. We didn't see him do most or any of his Hall of Fame things, which meant a lot about the man they playfully called "Killer" was left to our imagination.
Imagination is good in baseball.
That's why many radio announcers have become legendary through describing the sport with their pretty and vivid details. That's also why Wrigleyville is special beyond the ivy on the walls of its ballpark. After all, you can move through that timeless world within a few fungoes of Waveland and Sheffield behind the outfield fences or Addison and Clark down the first- and third-base lines, and you can't tell whether it's the early 20th or early 21st century.
So, for all we knew as followers of the NL, Killebrew was tall enough to touch the farthest cloud. We just knew he was huge, too. There were numerous reports about his tape-measure home runs, and they even said he once slammed a pitch 520 feet.
What kind of monster in spikes was this?
Let's just say I was stunned when I saw Killebrew for the first time as a player, when my parents moved us from Cincinnati of the NL to Milwaukee of the AL during the early 1970s.
We went to a Brewers home game against the Twins during one of those years, and we discovered The Great Killebrew looked much like everybody else -- not just on the field, but in the stands. He was 5-foot-11, and he was about as menacing as somebody driving an ice cream truck.
End of mystery, but at least I had the pleasure of spending years with that mystery. The same went for the one involving Frank Howard, who literally and figuratively was a giant. He played for the new franchise in Washington D.C., after the first one bolted to Minnesota with Killebrew.
Granted, Howard began his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he played with them for seven years through 1964, but he wasn't THE Frank Howard at the time.
That particular Howard appeared soon after he became the only thing worth watching -- by far -- for those historically awful Senators. Despite no protection around him in the batting order, he went three consecutive seasons with 40 or more homers. He also was consistently among the AL leaders in slugging percentage, intentional walks and scaring folks every time he stepped into a batter's box.
Unlike Killebrew, Howard really was big. He was 6-foot-7 and 255 pounds, and his nickname was "The Capital Punisher." The point is, in my imagination, Howard was more ominous than that.
And there was Carl Yastrzemski. He also had the name and the game, and he was another one of those mysteries for us NL guys to join the high-profile likes in the AL of Al Kaline, Reggie Jackson and Vida Blue.
Goodness knows what AL guys thought about our guys in the NL, such as the San Francisco Giants' Willie McCovey, the original "Big Mac" or "Stretch" to others. And as notorious as Bob Gibson's fastball was for those who saw it, it was more so for those who didn't.
I don't even have to mention Mays and Aaron -- or the extraordinary ways of Roberto Clemente, Pete Rose and Ernie Banks, all mostly NL players, and all mysteries to the AL guys.
Then baseball destroyed the mystery with Interleague Play. The idea was obvious. It was to give fans exclusively involved with a given league the chance to see as many of the great stars from both leagues as possible, and it has succeeded. Attendance for Interleague games is consistently higher than those otherwise.
But that doesn't mean everybody likes it.
I don't, for instance.
Neither should anybody who likes to dream.

Bit.Trip Saga Review
Who could have imagined that a series of games centered around simplistic game design ideas would have been one of my only reasons for ever using the WiiWare service. A main character who is nothing more than a black rectangle, graphics that pay homage to the early days of the Atari, combined with a kickin' soundtrack, and a difficulty that puts even the most hardcore of gamers to the test, made these games an absolute must-own for any Wii owner with a taste for good, quality titles. It also happened to feature music by renown Chiptune artists like Nullsleep and Anamanaguchi.
What's better is that now every single Bit.Trip game is available on a single 3DS cart, that you can take with you and play anywhere. That's quite a combination for success. I'll go over each game and how it holds up on the 3DS, and then give my take on the overall package.
Bit.Trip Beat
Bit.Trip Core
Bit.Trip Void
Bit.Trip Runner
Bit.Trip Fate
Bit.Trip Flux
The Entire PackageThe interface that holds all six games together is just as minimalistic as the games themselves. Not really offering much help on how each game is played, some players are bound to scratch their heads a bit, but let's be honest, people that are considering this package are most likely acquainted with Commander Video and just want his adventures on the go. The 3D effect in each game isn't overly necessary, and you can just as well play each game without the need to turn them on. Bit.Trip Saga is an awesome collection of Commander Video's adventures, though extremely light on extra content (even the Wii version of Bit.Trip Complete had the soundtrack CD included), the package is well worth for both fans, and players wanting to get familiar with the lo-fi hero.

Thirty-Five Years Ago
There are other, larger reasons for the existence of sailing clubs, of course. For one thing, they provide a social refuge for old families steadily assaulted by Southern California's percolating nouveau riche. If one can't avoid these bothersome new rich at the Cuyamaca Club or the University Club, at least the San Diego Yacht Club, for example, provides some sort of filter.

At 12 dollars per month, basic cable service in the City of San Diego is a bargain. Since 1979, Cox and Southwestern cable companies have increased their monthly fees at about one-half the consumer price index and neither firm has asked for a general rate hike. But this apparent fiscal restraint isn't due to corporate kindness or the pressures of competition in San Diego, the nation's largest cable market.
The deterrent to hefty price increases is a city ordinance that gives the city council power to approve or deny rate hikes proposed by Cox and Southwestern. The firms must petition for fee increases and submit a complete accounting which reveals everything from advertising, promotion, and legal fees to taxes, depreciation, and net income.

Most shoppers would agree that "failure" is an appropriate description for La Jolla Village Square, which perches on a hillside in the Golden Triangle. Too many of the mall's 60 storefronts are vacant, several of its shops clash with La Jolla's tony image (one store specializes in motivational tapes; another advertises cosmic matchmaking), and the mall's main promenade is often so devoid of shoppers that, in the words of one store owner, "you can rollerskate through there backwards and not hit anyone."

The people who grow the flowers overlooking the freeway in Carlsbad did something last spring that diverged from San Diego floricultural tradition: they encouraged the public to come onto the growing grounds. An estimated 125,000 people responded between March and early May of 1994, and upon many of them the ranunculus flowers cast an eerie spell. According to one of the women who sold bouquets there, a steady stream of mentally disturbed individuals were drawn to the site. "They would just sit and look and when they left, they seemed a lot calmer."

It's the stuff of urban legend, like sharks swimming through city sewers: the dead catfish delivered to the Reader offices on India Street the day after the paper featured "Are the Padres Married to the Mob?" The story linked Padres team owners Larry Lucchino and John Moores to ex-felon Jay Emmett.
Q. In what were the fish wrapped?
Heavy brown butcher paper. The package weighed approximately three pounds. A card on which the words "Thank You" were embossed was attached to the butcher paper. This card was unsigned. Blood was leaking through the paper.

I've been traveling to San Jose from the East Bay for work every week or two lately and finally checked out this new place that I had been driving by on my way to Falafel's Drive In. Thanks goodness I did because they have the best fish tacos I've had since moving here more than 4 years ago.
Dia de Pesca is quirky little joint that consists of a taco truck in a parking lot with covered cloth awnings. Then the rest of the lot is filled with mosaic concrete patio tables + benches & umbrellas for your outdoor dining pleasure. You order outside at a table and they make it in the truck. The ordering table also houses their 1-2 agua fresca selections of they day ( I had watermelon & today they had horchata). Now on to the tacos...
You get a choice of seafood: tilapia, snapper, salmon, halibut, tuna, shark, shrimp, scallops, or crab! Ridiculous variety. So far in my 2 times there I've had the tilapia, snapper, and halibut (I know safe - but believe me more shall be tried). Each one has been cooked to perfection. Soft & flaky, seasoned well, and a little chargrilled-in goodness. They're served in 2 fluffly corn tortillas w/ cabbage & pico de gallo, then drizzled generously with 2 sauces: creamy avocado & creamy chipotle (mixed w/ crema)? Today mine had a few thin slices of sauteed peppers thrown in as well.
The diner next to me tonight recommended the scallop tacos & the seafood quesadilla (although I'm not a huge fan of seafood + cheese). He said he was there last night and had to come back today for more. The menu is extensive, but it does seem like seafood is their specialty, so I'm sticking with that for now. All food is served with a paper boat of thin crispy (house-made?) chips and their salsa (which is not great, but fine & dandy enough). The owner said they are hoping to get a beer license in the future, as they have only been open about 3 weeks now. He mentioned he used to own a (mexican?) restaurant in Capitola. Supposedly they will take over the other small building in the lot for indoor dining in colder weather. This place must have been an old lawn art/garden center.
The fish tacos are a must try. If you know of a place that beat's them let me know. Until then Falafel's may never see me again...

Police continue search of acreage north of Airdrie for three missing Calgarians
Monday, Jul 07, 2014 11:53 am
Officers from the Calgary Police Service (CPS) and RCMP remain on the scene of a massive search of a rural property northeast of Airdrie for a third consecutive day.
The search is part of the investigation into the disappearance of five-year-old Nathan O'Brien and his grandparents Alvin Liknes, 66, and Kathy Liknes, 53, from their home in the southwest Calgary community of Parkhill. An AMBER alert was issued June 30 when Nathan's mother went to pick him up from his grandparents' home and reported them missing.
Police first began the search of the property on Range Road 291, approximately two kms north of Highway 567 on the evening of July 4, after receiving a tip about a Ford F150 truck they were looking for in connection with the disappearance of the three family members. A truck matching the description of one seen on CCTV footage taken near the family's home on the night they disappeared was found and removed from the property.
A man called a 'person of interest' by police was taken in for questioning, July 5. He has subsequently been identified as Douglas Garland, 54, son of the elderly couple who own the acreage. Garland was released on July 6, but was in Calgary Provincial Court this morning to answer to an unrelated charge of identity theft. Garland has a criminal record including a conviction for drug trafficking.
Dozens of police officers were seen doing a shoulder-to-shoulder search of a field on the property on both July 5, and July 6. A search of a field near a slough 500 m north of the property was conducted on July 5 with the assistance of the K-9 unit.
Corissa Boychuk, world champion trampoline athlete and twin sister of Zach Boychuk who plays with the Carolina Hurricanes, lives near the acreage. Boychuk said she first saw police vehicles on Range Road 291 around 11:30 p.m. on Friday evening. According to Boychuk, neighbours said they also heard the HAWCS police helicopter overhead that evening.
Boychuk, who's lived in the are for 11 years, initially thought the police had pulled someone over for a routine traffic stop and said she was surprised her rural community was the scene of a serious missing persons investigation.
"It scared me a little because it's so close to home. It's very unusual to see police in this area, let alone in these numbers."
In a statement released July 6, police said they would continue the search of the large property and have not yet determined if or how the truck they seized, Garland, or the property are linked to the investigation.
The AMBER Alert remains in effect.

Police were advised of an abandoned vehicle parked on Road 15, north of Pleasant View. The vehicle had been parked there for several days. Dispatch confirmed that the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Moab, Utah. The person who reported the vehicle said that he opened the door looking for identification but couldn't find anything. The vehicle was towed to get it out of the way of traffic and off the road.
Friday, June 28
Cortez dispatch aired a possible drunken driver with a male and female involved in a disturbance on U.S. 160 south of Cortez. The white SUV was pulled over on the side of the road. When the police arrived, there were three people sitting in the vehicle and two people standing about 50 feet in front of it. A woman approached the officer and said that she and her boyfriend had gotten in an argument, so she pulled over the car and started walking. The woman told the officer she had been drinking, so he administered roadside maneuvers, which she did not satisfactorily complete. The woman agreed to a breath test, and the results were .143. The woman was arrested and was charged with a DUI.
Friday, June 28
There was a vandalism complaint at a storage unit. The owner of the storage unit said he noticed an old, beaten-up, red, ¾-ton pickup pull up on the far northeast corner of the property. The owner said that he noticed a man exit the vehicle wearing blue jeans and with grey hair, and a few minutes later the man left. When the owner was done speaking with a customer he went and checked on the storage unit where he believed the truck was parked. The owner noticed that the over lock was missing and the lower lock had been cut. The owner said the person renting the storage unit was a month behind on her payments and that she said a man would be coming by to move items out of the unit. The owner did not have a security system and was not able to see the license plate of the truck. Pictures of the damaged lock were taken and placed into evidence.
Tuesday, July 2
An officer noticed a vehicle traveling north on U.S. 160 had no visible registration and a non-functioning license plate light. The officer attempted to pull the vehicle over, and the vehicle started swerving and speeding up and slowing down. The officer could see a lot of movement in the vehicle and observed the vehicle swerve rapidly toward the right side of the road but then pull back onto the road. The vehicle then pulled into a driveway and the driver got out of the tuck and started to run. The male subject was wearing a green sweater and baggy jeans. Back-up officers contacted the two subjects still in the vehicle. The wo women were put into handcuffs and were detained in the back of a patrol car for their safety and the safety of the officers. Both women stated the three were just at the casino, and since neither of them had a license the man had offered to drive them. The women didn't know why the man would run but they said it must have been because he has a warrant. The women both said that while they were getting pulled over the man said that he was going to run because he wasn't going to go to jail. One woman also said that the car jerked because she was trying to get the man to pull over. The two women contacted somebody to come pick them up and they left. The officer issued an arrest warrant on the male subject for driving with a revoked license and for eluding.
Thursday, July 4
An officer patrolling on U.S. 160 noticed a vehicle traveling 88 mph in a 65 mph zone. Once the vehicle was pulled over the driver immediately began explaining that the speedometer was not working correctly. The driver stated that his Colorado driver's license was suspended but he had a valid New Mexico driver's license. The officer asked if there were any passengers in the vehicle that had a valid license. The passenger of the vehicle was unable to drive and was then arrested for a felony warrant. The driver had to make arrangements for the vehicle to be picked up and was summoned to court for driving a motor vehicle while license was suspended.
Friday, July 5
A woman was at home doing daily chores when she heard a noise that made her dog bark, but she believed the noise was caused by the wind. Later she went to check her mail and noticed the back passenger window of her black Dodge Caliber had been broken out. She looked through her vehicle and noticed that her glove box and console were open with items scattered throughout her vehicle. The woman did not know who would have broken her window or what items they might have been looking for. None of the woman's neighbors noticed anybody around the woman's house. Because of lack of evidence there was no way to determine the culprit.
Sunday, July 7
While patrolling Road 25, an officer observed a vehicle where the driver's vision was obstructed due to a crack in the windshield. While speaking with the driver, the officer could smell an unknown alcoholic beverage inside the vehicle. Dispatch advised the officer that the driver of the vehicle had an unconfirmed felony warrant in the state of New Mexico. The driver was then placed into handcuffs. While waiting on confirmation of the warrant, the officer noticed that the man was slurring his speech, had bloodshot watery eyes and smelled of alcohol. The officer asked the man if he had been drinking. The man said that he had two beers. Because the man admitted to drinking the officer asked if he could perform some roadside maneuvers. The man agreed to the maneuvers but did not satisfactorily complete them. The man also agreed to a breath test, which came back at .181. Then dispatch confirmed that the man did have an active felony warrant. The man was arrested and said that he had never had a driver's license so he didn't care. The man was charged with a DUI and also for driving while his license was under restraint.

In a snapshot of systemic waste, researchers have calculated that more than half of the 354 million doctor visits made each year for acute medical care, like for fevers, stomachaches and coughs, are not with a patient's primary physician, and that more than a quarter take place in hospital emergency rooms.
The authors of the study, which was published Tuesday in the journal Health Affairs, said it highlighted a significant question about the new federal health care law: can access to primary care be maintained, much less improved, when an already inadequate and inefficient system takes on an expected 32 million newly insured customers?
The study is the first to quantify the problem, according to Dr. Stephen R. Pitts, the lead author and an associate professor of emergency medicine at Emory University. Examining records of acute care visits from 2001 to 2004, the researchers concluded that 28 percent took place in emergency rooms, including almost all of the visits made on weekends and after office hours.

Parents Spend A Ton On Prom
Are you a parent sending your child off to prom this spring? Well, be prepared to shell out some serious dough.
Every year Visa does a survey to see how much the average cost is to go to prom. This year parents are spending about $1,100. This is about a 5% increase from last year.
Funny thing about the study is that everything seems a little backwards. So, families that don't make so much will actually spend about $100 more than a family that lives comfortably or better.
Single parents will also spend more than married parents will.
The survey said that parents usually cover about 60% of prom costs while the kids shell out the rest.

Samsung tries to get early jump with DDR-II chip
Post a comment
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. this week set the tone for the emerging DDR-II SDRAM market by introducing a validated 533Mbit/s chip. But what the company didn't disclose was that it also has a 1Gbit/s DDR-II device that will actually begin shipping much sooner as a specialty memory for graphics.
Samsung executives told EBN this week that samples of the 1Gbit/s (1GHz) DDR-II chip will be available this fall and could be in production in the first half of 2003. That would be at least six months earlier than initial production of the 533Mbit/s DDR-II chip, which the company unveiled with some fanfare as the PC market's next mainstream memory.
Premature hype?
Samsung this week rolled out what it claimed is the industry's first 512Mbit 533Mbit/s DDR-II, working in conjunction with IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., which developed the memory interface and a new registered DIMM. The device was validated using DDR-II interface software from Denali Software Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.
Rival DRAM vendors surveyed this week were quick to claim that Samsung was prematurely hyping its DDR-II validation because it will still be more than a year before the next-generation memory enters production. Elpida Memory, Infineon Technologies, and Micron Technology all maintained that they, too, will be producing DDR-II for PC main memory alongside Samsung in the third quarter of 2003.
The companies also claimed they will have higher-speed versions of the chip for graphics applications in the first half of next year to compete with Samsung's 1Gbit/s part. Micron in particular said it will have a 900Mbit/s device in that time frame.
Slow to grow
Even though DDR-II will first be used in graphics, a few analysts still expect a slow takeoff in this area. Lane Mason, an analyst at Denali Software's research group, said the most aggressive graphics companies "still have some learning to do in trying to cope with the highest-speed DDR-I chips, now at 750 to 800Mbits/s. This involves load factors, signal integrity, and board design. They will have their hands full when they start working with the new DDR-II graphics memory," he said.
Nevertheless, Mason expects that major DRAM producers will introduce DDR-II memory to the graphics market well before the PC because high-volume capacity is not required. As memory chipmakers shrink their dice and improve processing, larger production runs will bring output and costs in line with the PC market's demands.
"As soon as enough yield is achieved [at DDR-II frequencies], we get enough quantities to start serving the graphics market," said Peter Schaefer, vice president of memory products at Infineon Technologies A.G.'s U.S. subsidiary in San Jose. "The graphics market is small enough that it doesn't need great yields at high frequencies."
Mueez Deen, Samsung Semiconductor Inc.'s director of memory marketing, San Jose, added that because graphics memory is mounted to the circuit board using a point-to-point connection, chips don't have to wait for DDR-II modules, chipsets, or PC motherboards to be developed and validated.
"We can work closely with graphics customers in cooperative engineering efforts to validate DDR-II on their products," Deen said.
No comparison
Graphics is a growing market, but still a niche when compared with the huge volumes the PC sector consumes. Terry Lee, director of advanced technology and strategic marketing at Micron Technology Inc., Boise, Idaho, estimated that graphics constitutes 5% to 10% of the total DRAM market.
"Graphics is growing at the same rate as the DRAM market, so it should hold at this ratio for the next five years," Lee said.
Infineon's Schaefer said the high-performance graphics market, including DDR-II, will become even more important to DRAM suppliers as integrated graphics chipsets increasingly take away sales of low- and midrange external graphics cards and their buffer memory.
"Eventually, we'll end up with high-performance graphics being the basic market for external memory," he said.
While graphics will garner the initial DDR-II action early next year, a wide industry effort is already under way to create the chip infrastructure to support DDR-II for PC main memory in time for a late 2003 or early 2004 ramp.
"DDR-II will take new controller logic, a new chipset, new boards, and all this will take time," said Jim Sogas, vice president of sales and marketing at Elpida Memory Inc., San Jose. "Customers aren't going to commit to DDR-II designs until they can get their hands on validated samples and play with them."
To our readers
In recognition that the DRAM industry is using a new nomenclature to describe its device speeds, EBN will cease the use of clock frequency to classify DDR-II SDRAM. Instead, we will adopt a megabits-per-second (Mbits/s) measure when referencing double-clocked DRAM in an effort to more accurately describe the chip's actual data throughput.

On Thursday, Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann sat down with Mike Wise and Holden Kushner on radio row in Indianapolis and shared his thoughts about the Redskins quarterback struggles, and even weighed in on Peyton Manning.
"We have not been able to find a quarterback in the city of Washington to be able to take over that football team" Theismann said. "Since I left 29 about years ago, I think there have been 29 different starters in the city…I believe this is the year they'll find somebody that you hope will quarterback this team for the next five to seven years.
However, Theismann is dead set against the idea of bring in Peyton Manning. "It's not a good idea, it's not a bad idea, it's a horrific idea. It would be one of the poorest things that we could do as a franchise. Are we gonna go find another guy for just a couple of years again? Haven't we done this before? Haven't we seen this act before? And by the way, if you get Peyton Manning, don't you have a concern about protecting him? Don't you have a concern about who he throws the football to?"
According to Theismanm, it's a bad idea for Peyton to go anywhere. "Anywhere but Indianapolis for Peyton Manning is mistake."

Saudi mufti condemns suicide bombs
By Middle East correspondent Frank Gardner
The highest Muslim authority in Saudi Arabia, the Grand Mufti, has spoken out against suicide bombings.
The authoritative Saudi newspaper, al-Sharq al-Awsat, quotes Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Shalikh as saying that suicide bombings had nothing to do with Holy War and could be un-Islamic.
The Mufti has also condemned hijackings of which there have been several in the Middle East recently.
The paper quoted him as saying that hijacking was forbidden as it terrified Muslim passengers and damaged public security.
Mounting frustration
Saudi Arabia is home to the two holiest shrines in Islam, in Mecca and Medina.
But in the Palestinian territories, where resistance to Israeli occupation is often seen as a national duty, the Saudi cleric's words are unlikely to carry much weight.
Palestinians are poorly equipped to take on the full military might of Israel. Setting off suicide bombs inside Israel is acknowledged as being one of the few ways in which Palestinian militants can strike back effectively.
On Sunday, a local journalist in Gaza dismissed the views of the Grand Mufti.
He said those intent on carrying out suicide bombings already had the blessings of other religious leaders around the Middle East.
Given the mounting sense of frustration in the Palestinian territories, the wave of suicide bombings looks set to continue.

Dr. John Abella, American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Canine and Feline), answers questions about dog and cat dental health and what can lead to tooth loss in canines and felines. Like most pet owners, we all want to take steps for preventing disease and pain in our pet's lives and addressing dental issues in your pet goes a long way to making their lives happier and healthier!
1. Are there certain types or sizes of dogs or cats that are more prone to serious dental issues?
Not necessarily. All dogs get dental disease; it is the #1 disease of all species, at any given time in anywhere in the world. Small breed dogs, especially Yorkshire terriers, tend to need and get worse dental tartar and subsequent periodontal disease than other breeds of dogs. However, proper maintenance may minimize the problem.
2. What are the proper steps to take at home to help them?
Brush their teeth - daily if possible. Like your own teeth, brushing will minimize tartar build up and gingival lesions. Although there are a lot of anecdotal claims, there are very few products that have clinical trials proving efficacy. Feeding your cat or dog T/D, a prescription food that is low calorie and allows food to act like a tooth brush, can help readily. It is recommended to feed at least 30% of the diet as T/D for dental tartar prevention. I feed my animals as such, and it has definitely helped limit dental cleaning necessary especially for my cats. Like most, I just can't brush my cat's teeth so T/D is ideal.
3. What are the best things to avoid food, treat, and toy wise to keep your pet's teeth healthy?
Things to avoid: People food. Pasta and other compressed carbohydrates pack readily into the recesses of the gum line and between teeth making for great substrate in tartar build up and periodontal disease. Greenies, dental chews and other treats may be ok depending on your dog or cats' chewing habits. Toys vary for safety pending the individual dog's propensity to swallow objects. I have removed Kong toys to metallic foreign bodies from the intestinal tracts of dogs. However, firm, rock hard objects like, say, rocks, can be very detrimental causing fractured crowns and painful fissured teeth.
4. What age should pets have their 1st dental screening to keep them healthy throughout there life?
The teeth will be examined every year with their annual exam. Their dental development is monitored with puppy exams as they grow.
So, in a way, their first dental screening is at 6-8 weeks with their first exam.
5. Are there certain conditions, like heart disease in humansthat has been linked to lack of proper dental care?
Although complicated valvular disease has been implicated in human medicine as a sequelae to dental disease, it has not been determined to be fact in dogs and cats. However, this does not make it less important or less concerning. Dental disease will cause discomfort and the owner will never know. Most animals continue to eat despite the pain. They will rarely cry out. Imagine having a headache or toothache, no one will know unless you verbalize it as a "symptom." I've never had a dog or cat tell me they had a headache or toothache. Well, animals have "signs" not symptoms which means that can't verbalize their discomfort. However, once the decayed tooth or headache is resolved, you notice their willingness to play, eat more, socialize, and act normally. Hence the clinical sign is much more subtle than the readily verbalized version of our symptoms.
To help prevent or remedy your dog or cats dental issues visit, call Aloha Animal Hospital in Vista, CA, at (760) 724-8313 to book your pet's dental exam and cleaning.

Family and friends gathered Monday to grieve the loss of a Notre Dame student killed in a tower fall last week.
A church bell tolled solemnly under a cloudless blue sky as the funeral of Declan Sullivan was being held at St. Mary Catholic Church in Buffalo Grove. A private burial followed.
"Those who knew him knew he was really something," Wyn Sullivan, Declan Sullivan's sister, told the gathering, according to the Daily Herald.
Her sentiments were echoed after the services by Sullvan's uncle and the family spokesman, Michael Miley:
"He was a kid who... had a spark to him. And while that spark may have been ignited and now extinguished, that light is going to continue on for many years to come. And we hope over the next few days, weeks [and] months, that the people in the community are able to heal as we are starting to heal."
The service was standing room only, and members of the media were not allowed inside. Several Notre Dame football players were in attendance, as was football coach Brian Kelly.
"It's a very sad day," said family friend Bill Ferreria. "It's very unfortunate what happened. He comes from an excellent family. My wife knew his mom well. And we'll miss him. He was very committed to Notre Dame."
The 20-year-old junior from Long Grove recorded football practice on a scissor lift during Wednesday's wind advisory when it fell to the ground. He died from his injuries.
Sullivan tweeted before the accident, "This is terrifying."
Indiana Occupational of Safety and Health Administration is investigating.
Sullivan's family has created The Declan Drumm Sullivan Memorial Fund in his honor. The proceeds will be donated to charity.

Franco - German University
The Franco-German University (U.F.A.) is made up of a network of French and German higher education establishments. It is an establishment with a campus that is spread, with the administrative seat in Sarrebruck. The university was created in 1997 by intergovernmental accord ("Weimar accord "), which came into effect in September 1999, and which lays down the legal basis of this supra-national university institution. U.F.A. is equally funded by the two governments of France and Germany.
The objective of the Franco-German University is to increase co-operation between France and Germany in the field of higher education. With this in mind it endeavours to promote relationships and exchanges between French and German higher education establishments, as well as implementing bilateral activities and projects in terms of teaching, basic and continuing education, research and education of young researchers.
In partnership with French and German establishments, U.F.A. is responsible for the functioning of training courses, doctoral schools and bilateral research projects. There are 90 integrated degree courses in France and Germany: architecture, law, economics / management, human and social sciences, sciences / mathematics / information technology, engineering science, which for the moment result in two national diplomas (double diploma).
The U.F.A. is responsible for drawing up a Franco-German diploma. 3,000 students are currently following integrated courses at the Franco-German University.
