After eight days of bone-shattering bombardment, Gaza was calm Thursday and Friday as residents of this battered land sought to return to their daily lives.
North of Gaza City, the Abu Khusa family was preparing to move to a rented house until they can repair their home's roof, which was blown off. In the meantime, they said, they were hoping the peace would hold.
"God willing, it will last 100 years, 200 years, for the sake of our children," said Shadia Abu Khusa.
In Gaza City, thousands of people took part in a celebration that was not so much of a military victory as a psychological one.
For impoverished Gaza, whose 1.7 million residents were massively outgunned by Israel's military, to survive was to triumph. "I think people feel now that the only way to push Israel to give concessions is resistance," said Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, who cited Israel's agreement to Wednesday's cease-fire as vindication of Hamas' struggle.
"Because President Abbas spent about 20 years in negotiations, but they got nothing from this," he added, referring to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the rival Palestinian Fatah group, which governs the occupied West Bank and is considered more moderate than Hamas.
This new reality may embolden Hamas to push for even more.
After the cease-fire ended the flareup between the Palestinians of Gaza and the Israel Defense Forces, Hamas can claim credit for extracting important concessions from Israel, including its promise to loosen Gaza's isolation from the outside world.
Hamas has also shown that its rockets have improved and that it is not as vulnerable to Israeli airstrikes as it was during the "Cast Lead" Operation four years ago, when more than 1,400 Palestinians were killed. Its international stature grew as it gained popular and official Arab support.
Israel's military also claimed success, saying on Wednesday that it had destroyed "significant elements" of Hamas' rocket-launching capabilities. And its "Iron Dome" missile-defense system proved able to intercept numerous attacks from the south.
Netanyahu, who is looking forward to elections in January, also showed himself to be an effective military leader. Polls say the vast majority of Israelis supported the operation.
Palestinian leaders sought to cast the cease-fire as a catalyst toward uniting their divided factions, while Israelis said they were happy for quiet after the shelling and counterstrikes.
In Gaza City, supporters of Hamas and Fatah gathered near the Parliament in a rare display of unity that included yellow Fatah flags and green Hamas banners flapping in the breeze alongside Palestinian flags.
The mood was celebratory and militant. The leader of Islamic Jihad, a party to the truce that was brokered by Egypt and that took effect on Wednesday night, called for more weapons to maintain resistance against Israel.
"We should be ready through our unity, through our resistance, to keep the perseverance and steadfastness of our people," Mohammed Hindi said.
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh declared in a televised speech that Israel had "raised the white flag." He described the fighting as "preparation to liberate Jerusalem" and the al-Aqsa mosque located on the Temple Mount.
Haniyeh, who heads the governing party of Gaza, said the cease-fire showed the United States had been forced to soften its stance in the region in the wake of the Arab Spring.
"The victory of Gaza is a solid truth, not a phenomenon," Haniyeh said. "The era of Egypt and the region has changed, and America has now begun learning to listen to a new language."
The violence left more than 160 Palestinians dead, many more injured and thousands homeless.
At least six Israelis were killed, including a soldier who died Thursday of wounds suffered Wednesday just before the cease-fire took hold, the Israel Defense Forces said. For the first time, Israel experienced rocket attacks from Gaza on its main cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The truce negotiated by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy followed a visit to the region by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a series of phone calls from U.S. President Barack Obama to the main players.
However, it was unclear if the latest events would lead to a resumption of long-stalled negotiations on a broader peace agreement or serve simply as a respite, as has occurred in the past.
"New dynamics in the Middle East potentially could make this time different," the independent International Crisis Group said Thursday in a report.
The report said Morsy's government had demonstrated pragmatism in negotiating the cease-fire and presented Israel and Hamas with the opportunity to reset expectations because it had credibility among Islamists.
"Ultimately, as the dust settles and guns turn silent, much more will be known about the new regional map -- how it works, who sets the rules, how far different parties will go, whether the obstacles continually encountered in the past can be overcome," the report said.

Rutgers University trustees held a meeting to consider options of reorganizing the school and discovered what was before them was not options but an all-or-nothing situation. NJSpotlight's Colleen O'Dea reports if Rutgers wants to take over the University of Dentistry and Medicine it must give up the Camden campus. A psychology professor, Ira Roseman, called it a "devil's bargain" and "the product of a political deal, hastily crafted by a small committee with known ties to political figures." Many board members did little to hide their displeasure. Under the plan, Rowan University and Rutgers/Camden would be combined. The plan is promoted by South Jersey political boss George Norcross and critics think there is some kind of deal cut between the Christie administration and Norcross. Timothy Farrow, treasurer of the Rutgers University Alumni Association, directed remarks at Christie: "Governor, with all due respect, you are not in control of this university. This is our university."

Chris Christie biography
"Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power," written by Bob Ingle and Michael Symons, offers the first inside portrait of New Jersey's governor, who in two years as governor emerged as a national Republican Party figure famous for his blunt public statements. The book details Christie's combative public persona and deep family roots, tracing his improbable political rise from a bruising stint in county government to his anti-corruption crusade as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power goes behind the scenes to reveal his family life, his public life, and what the future might hold..

The Soprano State
"The Soprano State," written by Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure, details the you-couldn't-make-this-up true story of the corruption that has pervaded New Jersey politics, government, and business for the past thirty years. From Jimmy Hoffa purportedly being buried somewhere beneath the end zone in Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands, through allegations of a thoroughly corrupt medical and dental university, through Mafia influence at all levels, to a governor who suddenly declares himself a "gay American" and resigns, the Garden State might indeed be better named after the HBO mobsters.

A beloved model is dead, those who knew her are in mourning, and one of the world's most admired Olympians is charged with her murder after a Valentine's Day shooting in South Africa.
Oscar Pistorius, a Paralympic runner who blazed new terrain by competing in last summer's Olympics, is accused of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. A shooting took place inside his upscale home in Pretoria, South Africa, early Thursday, and only the two of them were there at the time, police said.
Shock waves from the incident quickly reverberated across the world, casting a shadow over the man known as the "Blade Runner" for his achievements on prosthetic limbs.
Pistorius will be named officially as the suspect when he appears in court Friday, in keeping with South African law. Authorities have already announced that the suspect is Pistorius' age.
Investigators gave no motive for the alleged killing.
"Previous incidents" at the home, police say
Police were alerted to the shooting by neighbors, and residents had "heard things earlier," spokeswoman Denise Beukes said.
A police spokeswoman said there had been "previous incidents" at the home, including "allegations of a domestic nature." They did not detail what those may be.
Pistorius was arrested and accused of common assault in 2009, but the case was thrown out because of a lack of evidence, police told CNN on Thursday.
That incident involved Pistorius allegedly slamming a door during a party, and a piece of the door fell off and hit someone, said Capt. Marissa Van der Merwe of South African police.
Police are not aware of any prior incidents between Pistorius and Steenkamp, Van der Merwe said.
Some South African media outlets suggested Pistorius may have mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder. South Africa has a high crime rate, and many homeowners keep weapons to ward off intruders.
Beukes said those reports did not come from police. There did not appear to be signs of forced entry at the home, she added.
"This is a very quiet area, and this is a secure estate," Beukes said.
A pistol was recovered at the scene, police said.
In November 2011, Pistorius tweeted a photo of himself at a gun range, and wrote that he had "a 96% headshot over 300m from 50 shots! Bam!"
Pistorius cooperating with police
Pistorius has made no public statement. His spokeswoman Kate Silvers said the athlete is "assisting the police with their investigation but there will be no further comment until matters become clearer later today." Police also said Pistorius is cooperating.
He arrived Thursday at a police station in Pretoria.
Beukes said the state will oppose bail. That means the 26-year-old, who was among the men featured in People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, could be behind bars, at least temporarily.

While the eyes of the nation were trained on Boston and West, Texas, this week, lawmakers in Washington turned their eyes to two major issues.
At the same time, they contended with a poisonous threat in the form of letters the FBI said tested positive for ricin sent to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator, and a Mississippi judge, as well as suspicious packages that turned up in the hallways of two Senate office buildings.
The Gang of Eight senators working toward a deal on immigration reform unveiled their plan this week. It immediately hit hurdles, including criticism that the months-long process was conducted behind closed doors rather than more openly.
Still, the group's members expressed optimism the deal would rise above the deep divisions in the nation's capital.
"Powerful outside sources have helped defeat other initiatives in Washington. But on immigration, the opposite is proven true," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said while unveiling the legislation on Thursday. "I am convinced this issue will not fall victim to the usual partisan gridlock."
The sweeping reform package would impact nearly all of the estimated 11 million undocumented residents currently in the U.S. It would offer those who arrived before 2012 a 13-year path to citizenship and would require them to pay back taxes, pay a fine and pass a background check.
It would also require the administration to improve border security, a concern of many Republicans, and improve the e-verify worker verification system.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, seen as a rising star in the GOP and a member of the Gang of Eight, engaged in a media blitz, appearing on seven Sunday public affairs shows and offering a series of talk radio interviews later in the week.
He sought to bring aboard conservatives who may be concerned the group's plan amounts to amnesty.
"Both Democrats and Republicans have failed to enforce the laws, and the result is we do have millions of people that are here against our immigration laws," he said at a news conference. "We're not going to deport them. So let's secure the border, and let's bring these people out of the shadows."
While immigration made an entrance on Capitol Hill, gun control legislation made an exit.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday he would not bring his bill on the issue up for a final vote in the Senate after the compromise on background checks negotiated by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, and Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, failed.
Their proposal was greatly scaled back from what Obama and many gun control proponents initially proposed after the December mass shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school.
But the expansion of background checks to sales made online and at gun shows was considered most likely of all gun-related restrictions to muster the necessary bipartisan support to succeed.
Obama said he supported the compromise -- though he wanted it strengthened, -- and after it failed, he chastised those who voted against it.
"All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington," he said, surrounded by families from Newtown.
Reid could pull the bill off the shelf if he believes he has enough votes for it to pass either as-is or amended, and he said he hoped the senators would continue their negotiations.
The stalling of the Senate bill also means the House gun legislation is all but dead.
But immigration will resurface on the Hill this week, as Congress also digs into Obama's budget proposal with a series of hearings.

"Excellent service, great hotel stay!!!"
Reviewed Dec 16, 2013

I chose this LaQuinta because it was close to all the attractions (The Domain, Sam Moon's, The Red Oak Ballroom) I wanted to visit/share with my mother. Our room was close to an entrance/exit door and believe it not it wasn't noisy at all. We truly loved our room. We've stayed at other LaQuinta's here in Texas and they don't come close at getting it right. We were really shocked that this hotel wasn't charging more per night because it surely could. We will definitely be going back to this hotel.

We stayed there for the Thanksgiving holidays and the rooms were very clean. The hotel was very secure. I will definitely stay here again. We did not go to the pool but the gym was nice. They have 2 treadmills and some weights.

Hotel was very clean, rooms very nice. Staff very helpful. Jacuzzi was not working, although not a big problem as I only stayed one night. Outside pool, although weather was about 34 degrees so this was not a feature I would use. Excellent stay, will do again.

Originally we tried for downtown la Quinta Inn....so glad we didn't do that! This lovely hotel was very accessible to downtown Austin and easy to find. Had a great area for the puppy and the staff was energetic and friendly. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast at the inns still needs some work but the overall cleanliness and comfort make up for it....

I actually have recently stayed twice at this hotel, once in October and once in November. This review will be a combination of both of those stays. The hotel is convenient to The Domain, with its shopping and restaurants. However, if you miss the turn into the hotel from the access road, you have quite a ways to go to make the approach again, especially with all the construction in that area. The parking lot can get quite crowded in the front, so definitely look for a spot around back. Check was somewhat personable and the lobby breakfast area looks to be a good size. The first time we stayed at this hotel, we were given a ground floor room next to the industrial washers and dryers. It did get rather noisy and we were less than thrilled when we discovered that not only did the AC not cool the room, but there was no hot water due to a gas main break. However, to the credit of management, when we mentioned our concerns at the front desk the next morning, we were told the manager would be contacting us. I was very surprised to receive a certificate for a free night's stay in the mail about a week later. The second go-around, we were given a king room on the second floor. We still had hot water, but the AC still did not cool the room very well. Since the hubby and I need it cool to sleep, we both had a restless night and woke up with blocked sinuses. While the bed itself was comfortable, we did not get a good night's sleep. Aside from the issues with the AC, the room itself was decent. We had a small fridge and microwave as well as a recliner that my husband really enjoyed. The desk area was large enough to set up a laptop and the wifi was fine. The bathroom had ample storage, the shower clean. My only other issues beside the AC was that the towels were really scratchy and there was a large mystery stain on the carpet by the front door. Because this hotel usually charges roughly around $100 a night, I would be hesitant to stay here again because of the bad night's sleep I had on both occasions here.

The entire issue of EDUCAUSE Review Online, July/August 2012 is devoted to the topic of analytics in higher education. Subjects explored include how the use of analytics can help address higher education accountability, affordability, productivity, and student success.
Understanding and Managing the Risks of Analytics in Higher Education: A Guide, June 2012. This guide provides an introduction to the major risk categories faced by a higher education institution considering investments in time, energy, and money in analytics work. Under the right circumstances, decision making can be enhanced by the tools and techniques of analytics; large data sets, analytics engines, and new data visualization techniques have considerable potential to enhance both student learning and institutional business intelligence. However, careful consideration must be given to the risks of such investments for those in institutional leadership roles as well as the risks associated with data and information governance, compliance, and quality.
Analytics in Support of Student Retention and Success, ECAR Research Bulletin, April 2012. This bulletin describes an analytics system that Bowie State University (BSU) has implemented and is enhancing in order to improve the retention and success of at-risk students. While BSU has a substantial population of such students, the approaches taken are broadly applicable since many institutions have students in this category.

- Product Details
Kia Spectra Hatchback 2000-2004, Polycotton Econo Plus Rear Seat Protector by Canine Covers®. Good basic protection for rear bench seats. Breathable fabric for your pet's comfort. Machine washable. Held in place with headrest straps. Universal seatbelts holes to accommodate two-legged passengers, child seats and pet travel restraints. Non-slip backing; waterproof liner. Straps hook-and-loop around seat base and back.
- Universal hook and loop seat belt opening allows two-legged occupants to belt up, or use of canine restraints
- With DWR (durable water repellency)
- Breathable Polycotton fabric to assure travel comfort
- Machine washable
- Elastic headrest straps fit a variety of vehicles
- Non-slip backing layer on seat base helps hold the Protector in place
- Easy care - machine washable
- Fit most cars and SUV's
- All Canine Covers come with a limited 90-days warranty
- Made in the USA
Allow your furry friend to travel in style, comfort and safety, while keeping your car's upholstery factory-fresh. Choose from one of several colors to complement your vehicle's interior. The fabric of your Econo Plus Seat Protector is breathable for your pet's comfort. It's also abrasion and puncture-resistant to resist sharp claws. Treated at the mill with DWR (Durable Water Repellency), so most spills and stains just wipe off with a damp rag. Or, you can simply toss the cover into the washing machine (Although you may need to use a commercial-sized machine because of its bulk).
It's lined with waterproof nylon under the water-resistant top layer to further protect your seats, and then backed by a non-slip layer to hold it all in place. The grippy top layer gives your pet a secure feeling while cornering or braking. Because the fabric is soft and breathable, it keeps your pet cooler on warm days, and warmer on cold days than a shiny, slippery vinyl cover would.
Universal fit cover by Canine Covers fits most cars and SUVs with bench rear/center seats. It's held in place with straps around the headrests, but the non-slip bottom layer really keeps it anchored. "Ears" at the ends of the seat hold the base down while your pet is jumping in or out. Dont worry; there are universal hook-and-loop openings for the seat belts so the occasional two-legged passenger can still use the seatbelts. Child safety seats that are held in place by the seatbelt are accommodated as well. The seatbelt openings also accommodate a Ruff Rider or other pet travel restraint to protect your pet and the occupants of the vehicle in the case of an accident. This is a heavy-duty product that should last a long time in daily service, even if your dog is large or boisterous.
154.00Brand: Canine Covers Part Numbers: Canine Covers® is a daughter company of car cover and seat cover industry giant Covercraft®; they've been in the car cover business since 1965.

It was slippery on both sides and my dog, yellow lab, lying on the back seat slid from one side to the other while turning a corner. The elastic supports on the front edge of the seat cover are worthless and I needed to purchase 2 'S' hooks to secure the straps and help hold the seat cover in place.

Rating: 3.33 out of 3 votes cast
Nice fit
I ordered the burgundy pants but when I received them they definitely were not burgundy! More like purple. That's the only reason for not rating these a 5. Fortunately, they look good and they coordinate well with the jacket I bought so I will keep them.
Radford, VA
Great pants
These pants fit perfectly. The jacket made for a nice suit. Wish the inseam were 28 or 29 inches. 30 is too long for a petite!
Richmond, VA
Nice Quality
I purchased this suit in black and navy. Nice quality and fit but the pant color did not match the jacket. The garment label stated that the pant was made in Vietnam and the jacket was made in China. Otherwise a nice suit but I was disappointed that the set did not match.

Indian and Himalayan Art Ushnishasitatapattra, She Who Shelters with the White Parasol Made in Mongolia, Asiaor Tibet, Asia Gelug?, c. 18th century Artist/maker unknown, Tibetan or Mongolian Colors on cloth; cloth mountings Currently not on view 1961-177-1 Gift of Natacha Rambova, 1961 |
LabelThe border on this work is a trompe l'oeil-a painting of Chinese brocades rather than the silks themselves. At the center stands Ushnishasitatapattra, the embodiment of all the buddhas' qualities (shown by the five colors of her thousand heads). Reality-altering power emanates from her ushnisha, a cranial bump. Her many feet trample multicolored figures, suggesting her control over the realms of gods, demigods, men, and animals. The shaft of her white parasol disappears into a fire-rimmed pool that represents the natural disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes from which she protects her worshipers. At the apex of her heads, two Tibetan Buddhist monks soar in the clouds, signifying their freedom from earthly needs and desires.Social Tags [?]3 dharmapalas at bottom [x] 4 principal faces [x] incorrect spelling of name [x] thangka [x] unidentified figures [x] us(h)nis(h)a-sitatapatra [x] [Add Your Own Tags] |

Battlestar Galactica Cylon Centurion Replica Target Poster
The groundbreaking Battlestar Galactica television series created a new paradigm, not just in terms of storytelling and visual effects, but in every detail of production" from soundtrack to set design.
In our continuing quest to bring you affordable, faithful replicas of the iconic props from TV's greatest SyFy saga, we are proud to present our screen-accurate replica of the Cylon Centurion practice target as seen on Galactica's shooting range.
Created from the same digital files used to print the screen-used props, QMx has reproduced the practice target on an 18" x 22.5 poster, printed on 60-pound flat-finish paper stock. We've even die cut the poster into the same distinctive trapezoid shape (why do Colonials hate right angles so much?), and we've included the scoring form in lower-right corner.
A perfect way to prepare for the fight against our Cylon oppressors, when that dark day comes.
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Blu-Ray
An all-new chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga, Blood & Chrome takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a young, talented fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino, The Borgias), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Though Adama quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, the battle-weary officer Coker (Ben Cotton, Alcatraz), the two men must set their differences aside when a routine escort mission with an enigmatic passenger (Lili Bordán, Silent Witness) turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet.
Starring: Luke Pasqualino, Ben Cotton, Lili Bordan, Mike Dopud, John Pyper-Ferguson, Zak Santiago
