Offset Is Down But Not Out
According to NAPL's most recent Capital Investment Study, offset's share of printing industry sales have been declining steadily for more than 10 years. "No turnaround in the economy—no matter how robust—is going to change that. Nevertheless...
An old song informed us that "video killed the radio star." More recently, we've been told that digital is killing offset lithography. Neither of these claims is entirely true. Today, radio has talk shows and sports call-in shows, all with solid, if sometimes overly opinionated, audiences. Offset also has its own solid following in an increasingly digital world, although in many quick and small commercial shops it is more and more playing a supporting role.According to NAPL's most recent Capital Investment Study, offset's share of printing industry sales have been declining steadily for more than 10 years. "No turnaround in the economy—no matter how robust—is going to change that. Nevertheless, lithography is still a $40 to $50 billion market." The study quoted one participant as noting that "Any printer stuck with old technology in the pressroom is doomed."
Who's Buying What?
The NAPL study found some significant variations in offset purchasing priorities, depending on the company size. In companies with sales of less than $1 million, only 8.1% were interested in purchasing single- or two-color offset presses in the next three years. A tiny 4.8% were considering a four-color offset press, while fully 25.8% were contemplating the purchase of a variable data digital press.
In shops with sales of between $1 million and $3 million, 16.1% had single and two-color offset presses on their shopping list, while 25.8% were considering four-color presses. However, 35.5% were considering a variable data digital press. Shops with between $3 million and $5 million were looking at one- or two-color presses (8.8%), four-color presses (20.6%), and variable data digital presses (55.9%).
Interestingly, computer-to-plate purchase plans were pretty robust in all three sales segments, indicating that there is still a strong interest in improving offset workflow. In the under $1 million group, nearly 20% were looking at a CTP purchase in the next three years. While that may not sound like a great rush, it should be noted that 36.5% indicated that they had already purchased CTP capabilities within the past three years. Planned or already purchased CTP capabilities in the $1 million to $3 million segment totaled 68.8% (25.8% planned and 47.8% purchased), and in the $3 million to $5 million shops the total was 69.4% (26.5% and 42.9%, respectively).
Who's Selling What?
No doubt, there has been a steady decline in offset printing as a percent of sales among small commercial printers. That said, offset still accounts for a substantial chunk of change. While single-color offset brought in 14.4% of sales for franchise printers in 2000, this year it only accounted for 3.8%. Multi-color offset also has declined from 19.3% of sales in 2000 to 12.8% this year. Meanwhile, four-color offset has grown from 4.3% of sales to 6% of sales. Add that all up, and this year offset accounted for 22.6% of sales among the franchise segment, or $370 million.
Offset has also declined as a percent of sales among QP's Top 100 printing companies. Nevertheless, it accounted for 32.7% of total sales last year.
What's Available?
While offset press manufacturers have tended to emphasize medium- to large-format presses, many still offer small-format options. Increased automation and computerization have improved efficiency, quality, and speed on today's small presses.
Heidelberg has its Printmaster QM 46 and Speedmaster 52 lines, while Ryobi offers the 3200 and 3300 series and its 520 series. From manroland comes the Roland 50, and Shinohara has its 52 series. KBA's GeniusUV is a waterless small-format offering, and Presstek has two direct image presses, the 34DI and the 52DI. Ryobi also has a DI small-format press in its 3404 DI series. And lest you think that presses from small-format pioneer ABDick have disappeared, the 9980, 9920, 9995, and 4995 series are still being sold by Presstek. Even Baumfolder, better known for finishing equipment, offers the BaumPrint 18.

text: EADS Astrium and Alcatel Space are commonly developing the Alphabus, a new European satellite platform for the communication satellites of the next generation. The Aalphabus platform is developed for communication satellites with a useful load capacity in the range of 12 to 18 kW. Such satellites are mainly meant for renovating the fleets of larger satellite companies, because on one hand they offer low costs per transponder and high mission flexibility. In addition this new satellite type enables the development of innovative services for the mobile broadband communication, the digital radio transmission (dab) and the high resolution TV (HDTV). The initial weight of the Alphabus satellites will move in the magnitude of six to eight tons and thus optimally utilize the capacities of the carrier rocket of latest generation. The platform has a series of equipment options to do full justice to the most diverse mission requirements. This also includes e.g. the possibility of using electric drive systems, but also the individual power adaptation of components like solar generators and radiators. The platform will be in the position to carry up to 190 heavy-duty transponders and very large antenna farms.

Played the lead role in the TV drama, "Christabel" (aired in the U.S. on PBS) |
Made her first film appearance in "Aria" |
Born June 10, 1965, in Hampshire, England, Hurley was one of three children born to her parents, a British Army major and a schoolteacher. She was fascinated by dance at an early age, attending a private boarding school that specialized in ballet at the age of 12. As they often do with children, her girlhood dreams fell away soon afterwards after Hurley began finding more excitement with the New Age Travellers, a UK hippie group, and later, in the burgeoning punk movement, whose fashion sense she adopted with glee.
Hurley's first brush with modeling success came in the late eighties when she won a "Face of the Year" competition sponsored by a local newspaper. The prize was a year-long contract with a top agency in London, providing Hurley with an opportunity to make the rounds in print modeling. She also made her film debut in 1987 with "Aria," an anthology film in which famous directors created short scenarios based on classical and operatic music pieces. Her segment, inspired by "Die tote Stadt," was directed by Bruce Beresford. She followed this with roles in several popular English television productions, most notably "Christabel" (1988), with a script by Dennis Potter. She also appeared in a number of Continental productions, including a Spanish drama called "Remando al viento" (1988), which was top-billed by her future boyfriend, Hugh Grant.
Despite her popularity as a print model, Hurley had a difficult time making the transition to full-time actress. Even a turn as a villainous terrorist in the Wesley Snipes action picture "Passenger 57" (1992) failed to elevate her beyond the "occasional actress" standard. What did push her to "It Girl" status was not a film role or a model layout, but a dress - specifically, a slinky black number by Versace that was held together by gold safety pins and gravity - that she wore to the premiere of Grant's film "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994). The image of Hurley in "that dress," as it was referred to in the media, was reproduced around the world, and made her an overnight hot commodity.
The legendary cosmetics firm Estee Lauder certainly thought so, signing her to become their spokesmodel in 1995. Hurley's face graced more pages and billboards than ever before, and her perfume line, "Pleasures," was a best seller. She also became involved with the company's breast cancer charity, citing her grandmother's death from the disease as the impetus for her involvement. Lauder's faith in their official face never faltered. In 2007, the company not only renewed the then 41-year-old Hurley's contract, but also extended it for several more years.
But success as an actress continued to dog Hurley; she appeared in several television productions, most notably "Sharpe's Enemy" (1994), which was part of the immensely popular historical drama series based on the novels of Bernard Cornwell. She also played the Biblical temptress Delilah in the TNT movie "Samson and Delilah" (1996). But again, it was a media event that brought her to the forefront of the news - this time, the arrest of her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant for solicitation in Los Angeles. Writers, pundits, and the public at larger were baffled by her decision to remain with Grant after the incident, even after his celebrated and humorous mea culpa on "The Tonight Show" almost immediately after the arrest. In fact, the pair's relationship grew stronger in the coming years - presumably, because Grant knew how close he had come to losing a good thing over his careless tryst with Divine Brown (whom herself enjoyed a certain notoriety as the Hollywood hooker he picked up). The reunited couple formed a production company, Simian Films, in 1996, which yielded two starring vehicles for Grant - "Extreme Measures" (1996) and "Mickey Blue Eyes" (1999) - and one for Hurley, "Method" (2004), in which she played a serial killer.
In 1997, Hurley found the starring vehicle she was hoping for in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." A broad and ribald spoof of '60s spy films, Hurley was a surprising match for Mike Myers' comic skills - to say nothing of looking terrific in her Emma Peel-style zip-up leather jumpsuit. She returned briefly to the franchise in 1999 for "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (she filmed a cameo for 2002's "Austin Powers in Goldmember," but the scene was cut from the theatrical release).
For the next few years, Hurley appeared regularly in major Hollywood films, including Ron Howard's "EdTV" (1999), "My Favorite Martian" (1999), and "Permanent Midnight" (1998). Most of the roles were limited in scope - Hurley played several variations on the predatory vamp - but several were successful, solidifying her status as a full-time, viable actress.
But the bloom began to leave the rose in 2000, starting with the end of her 13-year-relationship with Grant - though they remained cordial afterwards and continued their business partnership through Simian Films until 2006. Hurley then fell afoul of film unions in the United States when she broke an actor's strike to film an Estee Lauder commercial. She would later release a public comment that she was not aware of the strikes, but this did little to quell the anger from working actors without her clout. Finally, her relationship with producer Stephen Bing came to an ugly end when they became embroiled in a paternity suit after a son, Damien Charles Hurley, was born in 2002. Bing was later revealed to be the father, following a DNA test. The often brutal British press universally stood behind their girl, calling Bing a "cad" and "deadbeat dad" - much like they had stood behind Hurley when her boyfriend Grant had publicly embarrassed her years before with Divine Brown.
Despite the spate of dreadful luck, Hurley continued to appear in feature films. She made a fetching Devil in Harold Ramis' woebegone remake of "Bedazzled" (2000) - complete with red underwear and a python wrapped around her neck. She also impressed critics with her turns in several intriguing independent features, including "The Weight of Water" (2000) with Sean Penn, and Tom DiCillo's "Double Whammy" (2001) co-starring Dennis Leary. However, Hurley stopped making features in the United States after the failure of her comedy "Serving Sara" (2002), turning her focus back to UK productions and her modeling career.
In 2005, Hurley launched her own swimwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beachwear, in selected department stores around the world and on her web site. The following year, she served as an executive producer and occasional host of "Project Catwalk" (Sky One, 2006- ), a UK version of the popular American reality series "Project Runway" (Bravo, 2004- ). On a personal note, Hurley had begun dating a wealthy Indian businessman and software magnate, Arun Nayar, who offered her and her son Damien a stable figure in their high-profile lives. Instantly smitten, the couple would date happily for several years.
In 2007, Hurley married Nayar in two ceremonies - one in England; the other in Mumbai. The resulting weddings - which cost an estimated 2 million pounds - earned worldwide press, thanks to a deal Hurley struck with British tabloid Hello! and the fact that it was a star-laden affair, with Elton John giving away the bride and much "will he or won't he show?" speculation of whether old flame Grant would show up to support his ex-turned-best-friend's nuptials. The fact that Grant had broken off a long-term relationship with Jemima Khan only days before the wedding fueled speculation within the ever imaginative British tabloid press, that he had broken it off so that he could attend Hurley's wedding. Khan, it was said, was not a fan of Grant's affection for his ex.
The ceremony also took a decidingly darker turn when, not long after the happy nuptials, the couple attracted strong criticism from the deeply religious Hindu community of India, which filed criminal charges against Hurley and Nayar for violating wedding customs in their ceremony (such as kissing and not removing their shoes). Nayar's parents also made a public display of disowning their son for his transgressions. Never one to back down, Hurley's critical reaction to her new in-laws' behavior led to more international coverage. Further unpleasantries were cast upon the union when violence broke out between security guards and paparazzi that tried to block the couple's car from entering the wedding reception at a military fort in Jodphur. Despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the affair, all in attendance said Hurley made a beautiful bride and that the couple were destined to make it last.

NBA AM: What Was Amar'e Thinking?
The Unthinkable: The New York Knicks dropped their second game to the Miami HEAT last night losing 104-94, and just when it seemed it could not get any worse, paramedics were rushed into the Knicks lockerroom.
Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire, in a fit of rage, punched a glass enclosed fire extinguisher case, severely cutting and damaging his hand, requiring several stitches.
Stoudemire is now likely done for the season.
Amar'e did not address reporters last night, but did turn to Twitter to express his anger with himself.
His Knicks teammates were in shock after the incident, with most trying to avoid commenting on the situation.
Knicks' forward Carmelo Anthony did his best to deflect questions, but the gravity of the situation is undeniable.
"I don't know what happened," Anthony said. "I really don't know where his situation is at. I don't know."
"It's a tough situation," Anthony said. "It seems like it's always something happening — snake bit."
"We will have to deal with it." Anthony said. "Nobody wants to lose. As one of the leaders of this team. I got to keep everybody positive. I got to keep everybody confident."
With Stoudemire's status clearly in doubt, the Knicks head home to New York for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden down 2-0 to the HEAT. Climbing back into the series will be tougher for sure.
"He's probably going to be out," Knicks center Tyson Chandler told reporters. "I don't know how bad it is. … Your emotions run high. In a split second, a decision can alter things. You can't fault anybody. We've got to deal with the repercussions."
"I saw a lot of blood, I'm squeamish so I got out of there," one Knicks player told Marc Berman of the New York Post. "He punched it. I don't know if it was open hand or not."
"It's crazy," Steve Novak said. "It's like I feel awful for Stat because he plays with emotion and you're walking in a hallway and I don't think he ever thought for a second that it was gonna be glass, that it was gonna shatter.'
Game 3 is set for Thursday at 7:00pm EST. Game 4 is set for Sunday at 3:30pm EST.
There is an upside… The Knicks went on a fairly impressive run without Amar'e Stoudemire in April, so the season may not be completely lost, but there is no doubting that things just got harder for the Knicks.
Let's Talk Lottery: The NBA will hold the official Draft Lottery on May 30th, so until then the order of the first 14 picks is still very fluid. However with the regular season locked in, let's take a look at how the lottery portion of the draft could play out.
Look for the annual Consensus Mock Drafts to get underway on Friday. Four HOOPSWORLD writers will give their view of the Draft landscape each Friday with news and notes about the process.
The first Consensus Mock will be Friday the 4th.
Checking In On Howard: If you think that Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard has checked out on his Magic teammates you are mistaken. Howard has become the biggest Magic cheerleader on the planet constantly texting and talking to his guys from Los Angeles where he's been instructed to stay by the doctors who performed his back procedure.
Magic president Otis Smith is expected to stop in on Howard today to give support to his embattled center according to CEO Alex Martins.
"The intent is to check in, see how he's doing, both from his rehab as well as his spirits, to see him in-person," Martins said to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.
"We've been communicating with him via phone and text, but it's just an opportunity for us to see how he's doing."
Smith is expected to spend less than 24 hours in L.A. and then return for Game 3 Wednesday.
"They're all my kids," Smith said to Robbins. "I've got one of them that's not with the team, that you want to have with the team that's injured, that's down. So you've got to go see him. You've got to pep him up a little bit and tell him he's doing the right thing by his body.
"He can't travel and he can't do much," Smith added. "His doctor's orders and pretty much our orders are to get his back right. He can't do anything for anybody at this point in time, so he has to get right."
Sources close to the process say Howard has been trying to convince his Doctors to clear him to fly to Orlando for Game 3 on Wednesday however it's unclear whether he will be cleared to fly.
Howard has told more than a few guys in the Magic locker room that he desperately wants to be there, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
It's Not The Schedule: Occasionally you hear something in the media that just so inaccurate that you have to shake your head at it.
The idea that the shortened NBA season has contributed to the rash of injuries as of late is almost lunacy. It is selective commentary that is not originating from an informed place.
The "compressed" part of the 2011-2012 season came in the first two months of the season… the last two months have been somewhat normal.
Have players logged more miles on their bodies with less rest days – sure. But what's not being accounted for is the radical reduction in practice days and off time teams have given their guys to compensate.
Did NBA Players play more game minutes in a shorter span than normal – yes, but they did so at the expense of hours of practice time, a shorter training camp and pre-season.
However a lot of that normalized after the All-Star break.
Take a look at the schedule.
The Celtics played 32 games in final 56 days of the season from March 1st to April 26th. That comes out to .574 games per day. In 2010 they had 24 games in 43 days March 1st to April 13th or .558 games per day.
The Warriors had 34 games in 56 days or .607 games per day. In 2010 they had 24 games in 43 days or .558 games per day.
The Cavs in 2011-2012 had 33 games in 56 days (.589 games per day) vs. 23 games in 43 days (.534 games per day) in 2010-2011.
The Grizzlies in 2011-2012 had 31 games in 56 days (.553 games per day) vs. 21 games in 43 days (.488 games per day) in 2010-2011.
Injuries happen. Blaming the schedule or the compressed nature of it is selective commentary.
Over the last two months there has not been nearly as many games per day as there were in the first two months and when you back out practice days and two-a-day training camp days the actual miles NBA players put on is substantially less.
Teams tried to compensate. Especially contenders that expect to play late into June.
Could the compressed schedule have contributed to a players' eventual injury – sure, but to blame the injuries on the schedule overlooks the fact that the last part of the schedule since the All-Star break has been a lot more normal than anyone is admitting.

Mosaic News - 05/08/12: World News From The Middle East [VIDEO]
Interpol issues arrest notice for fugitive Iraqi VP
Al Jazeera, Qatar
Presenter, Female #1
The International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol, issued today an international arrest warrant demanding the arrest and handover of Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, who is currently in Turkey.
Presenter, Male #1
This warrant is viewed as the latest chapter in the political conflict between al-Hashemi and the head of the Iraqi government, Nouri al-Maliki.
Reporter, Male #2
These are the most recent images of Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. They were taken prior to December 17, 2011, before the al-Hashemi case started to appear. The Iraqi government believes that al-Hashemi and his bodyguards were involved in what it refers to as terrorist crimes. To prove these accusations against al-Hashemi, the government aired confessions it said were from the vice president's bodyguards. And after a ripple of events, al-Hashemi decided to leave Baghdad for Iraq's Kurdistan Region, where he settled in the capital Erbil under the protection of the president of the region, Massoud Barzani. On April 1st, he visited Qatar, which rejected the Iraqi government's request to hand him over to Baghdad. Qatar considered the request an infringement on diplomatic protocols, especially since al-Hashemi is still a government official and enjoys diplomatic immunity. Afterward, al-Hashemi visited Saudi Arabia, and his itinerary included Turkey, where it is speculated he has been staying for a month. From Turkey, al-Hashemi announced a few hours ago in a press statement that he decided to postpone his return to Erbil, where he resides, as advised by certain political leaders.
Reporter, Male #2
Meanwhile, as al-Hashemi is still in Turkey, the Central Criminal Court of Iraq ended the first session of the vice president's trial in absentia; he is facing 300 charges. The trial is scheduled to resume on May 10th, even though al-Hashemi reiterated several days ago he lacks trust in his country's judiciary. He confirmed a campaign against him is being waged by the head of the government, Nouri al-Maliki, who aims to politically purge him and remove the Sunni representation from Iraq's state institutions. It appears the case is escalating on the international front, as Interpol issued a Red Notice to arrest al-Hashemi, and significantly restrict his ability to travel across international borders. This raises many questions on the course of the conflict and its ramifications on Iraq.
Presenter, Female #1
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the defense team of Iraq's vice president said Interpol's arrest warrant for Tariq al-Hashemi is not a judicial verdict based on definitive rulings.
Presenter, Male #1
Attorney Muyyiad al-Ezzi added that al-Hashemi still enjoys rights and privileges as the vice president of Iraq.
Guest, Male #3 (Attorney Muyyiad al-Ezzi, Member of al-Hashemi's Defense Team)
First of all, we know that any warrant issued by Interpol, is usually issued based on judicial verdicts that are perceived as final rulings. But we believe that these warrants only have political dimensions. Mr. Hashemi is still the vice president of the republic, and he fully retains the legal and political rights of his political position in the state of Iraq.
Presenter, Male #1
For his part, a leader in al-Iraqiya bloc, Dr. Thafer al-Ani, said measures taken in the case of Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi were politically motivated, adding that witnesses were obviously coerced.
Presenter, Female #1
Al-Ani added the case requires two solutions, one judicial and one political.
Guest, Male #4 (Thafer al-Ani, Iraqiya Bloc Leader)
Al-Iraqiya, as a political party, along with other partners, believes that al-Hashemi's case should be solved within two frameworks: the judicial and the political. Within the political framework, it can be resolved by having the three leaders meet and determine the course and means to resolve this case; and judicially, by preventing the politicization of the judiciary and resisting the pressure it faces by the government.
UN organization estimates one third of Somalis suffer from mental illness
BBC Arabic, UK
Presenter, Male #1
In Mogadishu, mental and psychological issues have increased due to the effects of war. According to the World Health Organization, one in three Somalis suffers from a mental or psychological problem; a frightening number, according to doctors. Our BBC correspondent in Somalia, Ali Halani, visited the Habib Public Mental Hospital, the only mental center in the Somali capital, and has the following report.
Reporter, Male #2
Habib Public Mental Hospital in Mogadishu receives dozens of patients weekly. It is currently housing nearly 250 patients, who are receiving treatment for psychological disorders caused by the effects of war in the country. Some of them are here because of their drug addictions. Throughout the civil war, no Somali home was spared from death, injury, or the loss of livelihood. This led hundreds of thousands of Somalis to be displaced or immigrate. Patients suffering from mental health issues are treated in the only hospital that deals with such problems in Mogadishu. The hospital is facing a severe health care shortage, as patients face the danger of losing access to the hospital, and find themselves in a hostile and unmerciful environment. The World Health Organization's latest figures indicate that one in every three Somalis have suffered from some kind of psychological disorder during their life. This number is the highest among poor countries ravaged by wars.
Guest, Male #3 (Abdul Rahman Awalla, Doctor Specialized in Mental Health)
Across many parts of the country, the Somali people endured a lot of painful experiences. Some of the patients lost many members of their families by the arbitrary shelling during the war.
Reporter, Male #2
Dr. Awalla said a number of the patients he's treated have thought about suicide after their problems weighed on them and they felt lost. However, their situation has improved despite the hospital's few resources, where only one doctor and six nurses work.
Guest, Male #3
We treated more than 11,000 mentally ill patients of all ages and genders. And their numbers are still increasing.
Reporter, Male #2
The families of the patients have to deal with the burden of caring for their mentally ill family members, so they assign one person or two to take care of their relative. Some patients were rendered homeless after their families were unable to take care of them.
Guest, Male #4 (Suleiman, Relative of a Patient of Mental Illness)
One of my relatives was diagnosed with a little-known mental illness some 15 years ago. She was pregnant, and her illness later got worse. Since then, all the members of the family have been taking turns looking after her. Sometimes they care for her at home, and others in the hospital because she is unable to take care of herself.
Reporter, Male #2
Severe depression, schizophrenia, and mania are some aspects of the silent mental illnesses that many Somalis are suffering from. But not enough attention is being given to treat these illnesses at a time when their main causes continue, through the constant strife in the country. Ali Halani, BBC, Mogadishu.
NATO admits to killing Afghan family of six in Helmand Province
Press TV, Iran
The US military in Afghanistan has admitted to killing a family of six in an air strike last Friday. It has confirmed the incident took place in the southern province of Helmand. Tens of civilians have been killed in US-led air strikes in several provinces in recent days, despite Kabul's repeated warnings to the forces to avoid killing civilians. Afghan President Hamid Karzai said the pact signed between the US and Afghanistan, allowing US troops to stay past 2014 and created to protect Afghans, will be invalid if US forces continue to kill Afghan civilians. The deal angered Afghan lawmakers, who argued that the pact had not been approved by parliament.
Clinton urges Islamabad to step up crackdown on extremists
Press TV, Iran
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on Pakistan to do more to crack down on extremism. She says Islamabad needs to ensure its territory is not used as a launching pad for terror attacks. Clinton made the comments during a press conference in India. The Pakistani army has hit back, saying the US is trying to make Pakistan a scapegoat for its failure to end the war in Afghanistan.
Erbil residents protest blasphemous article in local magazine
Press TV, Iran
A violent protest erupted in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region over a blasphemous article published in a local magazine against Islam. The protest erupted in Erbil after the Chirpa magazine ran the article. Security forces used tear gas to disperse the angry protestors. The demonstrators called on the government to include a clause in the region's constitution to prevent such stories from appearing in media outlets. The author of the article was seen in a video on YouTube a few weeks ago burning a section of the Quran.
Annan warns Syria at risk of civil war
New TV, Lebanon
Presenter, Female #1
UN-Arab League Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan announced he will visit Damascus. Meanwhile, the Syrian opposition continues to hold meetings in China, as violence continues to rage in the country.
Reporter, Male #1
In Geneva, UN-Arab League Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan announced he will head to Damascus in the coming days. Annan said there has been a decrease in military activities, but that the level of violence is still unacceptable.
Guest, Male #2 (Kofi Annan, UN-Arab League Envoy to Syria)
Everyone must understand that we need to guarantee that all aspects of the six-point plan are implemented in order to create an environment that will enable us to launch a political dialogue. It will be very difficult to make progress in the talks if the current situation continues. I told council members that the UN observer mission is possibly the only remaining chance to stabilize the country.
Guest, Male #2
I am not telling you any secrets when I tell you that there are profound concerns that the country could otherwise descend into full civil war, and its implications are quite frightening. And we cannot allow that to happen. I hope that both the government and all the components of the opposition understand this, and seize this fragile but real opportunity to bring the situation under control.
Reporter, Male #1
Meanwhile, the UN observer team continues to tour Syrian cities and regions. The team said it is planning to send a group of observers to the suburbs of the Syrian capital.
Guest, Male #3 (Neeraj Singh, Spokesman for the UN Observer Team in Syria)
It is essentially going to be a logistical movement. They will start here by going on short tours across areas in the countryside of Damascus, and then they will continue to Homs and other regions.
Reporter, Male #1
Meanwhile, opposition members continue their visit to China. The head of the opposition Syrian National Council, Burhan Ghalioun, met with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. Jiechi told the Syrian delegation that his country adopts a firm position on Syria, and it will support any resolution that serves the fundamental interests of the Syrian people and is accepted by all concerned parties. The Chinese foreign minister urged all Syrian sides to fully implement the ceasefire and cooperate with the UN observers to create an appropriate environment that will help end the violence and start a political dialogue.
Reporter, Male #1
On the ground, several cities, notably Homs, witnessed demonstrations called for by the opposition, as fighting continues to rage in some regions. Activists said security forces have killed at least ten people. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the number of people killed in Syria by the violence has reached 12,000, and the number of detainees has reached 25,000. The international committee of the Red Cross and the Arab League warned the conflict in Syria may turn into a civil war.
Egypt's Copts divided over backing of presidential candidate
Al-Alam, Iran
Presenter, Male #1
The Copts in Egypt have agreed on a consensus document to participate in the presidential elections. Coptic activists representing committees and organizations agreed on ten criteria to choose the president with a pure Coptic vision.
Reporter, Male #2
The Copts in Egypt are an integral part of the composition of this country. They strongly participate in choosing Egypt's next president. Many of them believe the future president will call for a civil state and protect them and their demands, which were neglected by the former regime for 30 years. In a consensus document by Coptic activists representing committees, organizations, and public figures, ten criteria were agreed upon to choose the next president with a pure Coptic vision.
Guest, Male #3 (Naguib Gebreil, President of EUHRO)
Egypt's next president must believe, be devoted to, and reaffirm the idea of a civil state. They must accept religious, political, and ideological plurality in Egypt. The next president must also believe in the principles of human rights, and uphold those principles over any local laws, and also believe that Copts have the right to exercise their rituals and have their churches, and they must believe in freedom of religion.
Reporter, Male #2
The church announced its rejection to intervening in all electoral affairs, and did not direct the Copts in any direction, leaving individuals to freely express their opinions. This comes in light of fears that a remnant of the former regime, or someone who does not believe in the citizenship rights of the Copts, could win the elections.
Guest, Male #4 (Mina Milad, Coptic Activist)
The Copts do not prefer the rule of the remnants or the Brotherhood, because it has been proven and it is evident that the brothers will refer to Islamic religious authority. They will have a religious ideology, and this is not what the Copts want.
Reporter, Male #2
It is apparent that fears of an Islamist president is not a unanimous one among Egypt's Copts. Some have sincerely announced their endorsement of Islamist Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh because they view him as an Egyptian president and statesman.
Guest, Male #5 (Dr. Sherif Dos, Head of the Copts General)
Abdel Moneim does not represent the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis, the Copts, or the military. He represents all the Egyptian people. It is not wrong for him to be a devout Muslim; I am a devout Christian, and I adhere to my religion, just like he does to his religion. There is no shame for Aboul Fotouh to say he believes in the principles of Islamic law as a main source for legislation.
Reporter, Male #2
Elections are always debatable, even among the same family. And after the church left the Copts to freely support their own candidates, their opinions varied, but the goal was the same. Egypt's next president must be for all Egyptians. From Cairo, Mohamed Amin, Al-Alam.
Ehud Barak levels criminal accusations at former IDF chief of staff
IBA, Israel
There was an attack and a counterattack today, as Defense Minister Ehud Barak leveled criminal allegations at former IDF Chief of Staff Major General Gabi Ashkenazi, on counts of forgery, receiving a bribe, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice, saying that Ashkenazi manipulated senior appointments in the IDF for reasons that were not based on professional considerations. Ashkenazi said the accusations were "ludicrous" and "bizarre."
Palestinians in the diaspora express support for hunger strikers in Israeli prisons
Palestine TV, Ramallah
Presenter, Male #1
Joining us in the studio to discuss the Palestinian people's situation in Lebanon is Mr. Ashraf Dabbour, the Palestinian ambassador to the Lebanese republic. Welcome, Mr. Ambassador. To start with, there is broad solidarity movement that supports the detainees everywhere. What does the scene look like in Lebanon in relation to the open-ended hunger strike prisoners and detainees in the occupation's prisons have been waging?
Guest, Male #2 (Ashraf Dabbour, Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon)
In the name of God, the most merciful and most compassionate. First of all, we say to our detained brothers in the Israeli prisons, be patient. We tell them that our Palestinian people in Palestine, and our Palestinian people in Lebanon, and all the free people in the world stand in solidarity with them today, and are using all means to express that solidarity. They have adopted a slogan, and we, particularly in Lebanon, adopted the slogan that "We are with you today and every day, and we will never abandon any one of you." We have organized many events in the past several years, and today, on this occasion, these actions were activated with sit-ins, marches, festivals, and public forums. Events are being held in Lebanese universities under the guidance of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Presenter, Male #1
This, of course, with the aim of standing by the side of the prisoners to support them in their battle of empty stomachs.
Guest, Male #2
Absolutely, absolutely. Whatever we do, we cannot deny their rights for even a day. These patient heroes waging the battle of empty stomachs reaffirm the firm position of the Palestinian prisoners in the face of their jailors.
Presenter, Male #1
Yes, Mr. Ashraf, on the issue of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, what are the conditions of our children, our families and our people in Lebanon? Would you talk about the situation of the refugees, and your efforts to improve and strengthen the Palestinian conditions in Lebanon, to improve their temporary presence there, of course.
Guest, Male #2
First of all, everyone knows the Palestinian refugees live under harsh conditions in the camps of the diaspora and the refugee camps in Lebanon. The situation is very difficult. Here, we'd like to thank Mr. President Mahmoud Abbas, who initiated a number of programs, beginning with increasing the monetary allowances to the martyrs' and prisoners' families, to President Mahmoud Abbas' foundation to help Palestinian students.
Guest, Male #2
In addition, there are economic empowerment funds,; family empowerment funds, and family sponsorship programs, where Palestinian families in Palestine sponsor Palestinian families in Lebanon on a monthly basis by directly transferring funds to them; a committee oversees these transactions. And most recently, the president issued instructions to activate, develop, and support Palestinian sports. He is also paying great attention to improving the living conditions of the Palestinian people and ease their suffering. In fact, due to the difficult conditions, whatever we have done, it is still inadequate for our people, and we need to do more.

Inn at St. Peter's Village
Online Reservations
It had been several years since making the drive up to the Inn at St. Peters. I now believe that we missed a lot of great meals. Excellent, carefully prepared traditional Italian dishes bursting with flavor, served hot by friendly wait staff. Oh, and reasonable prices. The Cioppino was generous to excess, perfectly flavored and served in a substantial bowl that kept the broth hot while the many, many fresh mussels were eaten. Great Caesar salads, insanely rich chocolate cake, good coffee. We will be back soon.
We had not been to the Inn in many years since we are retired and on a fixed income and previous prices were beyond what we could afford. When our anniversary came around I checked the menu online and discovered things were now changed. We had an excellent dinner and great service and can't wait to try it again.
my wife enjoyed her bday evening very much. It was perfect getting out with friends & dining outside on the patio.
We dined here for our anniversary and had the best time! We sat outside and were rewarded with a great view of the French Creek and some of the other historic buildings of the village. The service was excellent but I wished the staff had known more a about the history of the area. We'll be back!
This is the third time that we've been to the St. Peters Inn, and it hasn't disappointed at all. The menu has changed from the last time we were there which I liked. This has quickly become one of our favorite local restaurant.
Simply charming and we will definitely visit again. The wait staff was very friendly if a little confused. Not fine dining but who cares? The atmosphere is beautiful and the drinks are wonderful.
This is our second visit to the Inn at St. Peters in as many months and it will not be our last. The setting is especially nice in the summer, perched on a concrete deck that reminds one of Wright's Falling Waters, the creek below blends nicely with the diner's conversations. The food is excellent "straight" Italian. No fancy interpretations, just very good preparation of fine raw materials served generously. A salmon filet was judged "perfect" by a picky diner. Capellini with lump crab meat must have been lavished with 4 oz of perfectly tossed nuggets in a butter garlic sauce that was light and satisfying. Killer chocolate cake was not terribly Italian, but it sure was good. Service was friendly and uneven.
Last year we enjoyed a Father's Day Buffet Brunch at St. Pet'er's Inn and we were looking forward to a repeat performance. Although the Inn did not have the buffet brunch this year, we were not disappointed. The brunch special, steak and eggs benedict with crab and perfectly seasoned home fries was devine. We finished the meal with coffee and 3 different desserts that satisfied the sweet tooth. The outdoor patio by the creek adds charm and a wonderful dining experience. Our family has been dining at St. Peter's Inn off and on for over 30 years and I am glad to see it thriving once again. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
The food, the service, just everything! We went to brunch and everything we had was cooked to perfection. The servers were pleasant and attentive. We will certainly go back!
Matthew took great care of us. The view is amazing!
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was - very nicely done. Of course, its a great setting but didn't realize the quality of the fare would be exceptional. My tuna was perfectly done. And its not easy to get tuna right!
We had an excellent outside table and the overall experience was great. I liked the new menu, much better than the previous one which was mainly French.
We love coming here, lunch or dinner, hanging out on the deck which overlooks gorgeous French Creek. Often there is live entertainment, it's just plain fun! The food is very good, I had the salad with shrimp and crabmeat with a lemon viniagrette. Husband had Lobster tail stuffed with crabmeat. Daughter had petite filet mignon. Clean plate club all around! Dessert - New York Cheesecake - simple and delicious! It's located in St. Peter's Village, which is trying to make a comeback. Still a lot of empty shops, but the Bakery is doing well, there's also a place to get ice cream, a gift shop (with a yoga studio in the back) and maybe the arcade is still there. There is lots of hiking and kids love climbing all over the big rocks in the creek.
Enroute to hiking, the staff gladly accommodated our dogs with a table near the sidewalk. There happened to be a rather good musical duo performing, and we learned there is llive music every Sat & Sun from 2-7, which is kind of a neat time of day to have music, and it was an unexpected bonus to the totally delicious meal we had. We ordered gnocchi and a special pizza, Jambalaya, featuring spicy chicken, shrimp, spicy sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese, really amazing, and the crispy crusts were great for dipping in the remnants of rosé sauce from the big, fluffy, homemade gnocchi; the best gnocchi I personally have ever had! We left with the biggest smiles. Can't wait to come back!
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our salmon with dill sauce dinners overlooking the creek and woods. The red skinned mashed potatoes and asparagus that came with it were also delicious. The service was outstanding. We chose to eat outside on the inn's beautiful patio because the weather that evening was so perfect, but I later saw the indoor dining room which was cozy and elegant and would have been a nice choice too.
First time there and we forgot our jackets. It was a cool night so we ate inside but the deck looked really nice and it was packed. Overall the menu had a very nice selection and the prices weren't bad either. We both ended up getting a pasta dish and both were excellent. I can definitely see going back there soon.
Server was courteous & attendant. Food was excellent. Location & scenery was great.
We were looking to take a ride on a gorgeous day then stop at a nice place for a late lunch. Made a 3 PM reservation. To be honest, we hesitated at booking at the Inn, since our last experience there we felt was overpriced, with poor service. It is a beautiful building, in historic St Peter's village , so we decided to give them another chance.. They have changed Chef's,and judging by the new attitude and exceptional service, probably under new ownership as well. My wife has a dietary restriction, and the chef altered a Salmon special for her. The dish was awesome, so was my Gnocci Rosa, from his Grandmother's recipe.The Chef came out to make sure my wife was happy. He is a great guy, and awesome Chef. We will be returning very soon.
Menu limited, Food very good, bread service outstanding, pricey for portion size, service excellent. Noise level from wedding downstairs unacceptable.
My wife and I decided to return to St. Peter's Village after an absence of nearly two decades. We were pleasantly surprised with some wonderful weather, and opted to dine outdoors on the Inn's back deck overlooking the monolithic rubble falls of French Creek. Our server was a (slightly distracted) young man, who was initially very attentive. Our meals were delicious, generously portioned, and our drinks very satisfying. Our only complaint was waiting an inordinate period of time for a second glass of wine my wife ordered near the end of our meal. It turned out to be a problem with stemware at the bar, so, all is forgiven. We will return when the nice weather reappears next spring.
Host and wait staff were very attentive an friendly. The deck view of the wooded stream was eye-appealing. The sound of water rushing through the large boulders was more pleasant than the music (music wasn't bad, I just liked the stream sound). Soup of the day was great. I cook at home, but my soups aren't this good! My wife had the twin filet mignon, which had bernaise sauce on one filet, and bordelaise sauce on the other. It was exquisite. I almost ordered it, but the catch of the day was too tempting. It was a wonderful crab, shrimp and a whole lobster tail on a bed of linguini with a delicious white cream sauce. Good food, good price, good staff, good atmosphere.
enjoyed the serenity of the restaurant- a very enjoyable dining experience
My family gathered to celebrate an 83rd birthday. From young to old we were delighted with the choice of food, the quietness (We could hear one another!) and the service. The waiter watched but did not intrude. He was pleasant and helpful. Now when my husband and I think of going out for dinner, casually or formally, we will happily dine at St. Peter's Inn. In the warmer weather, we include our autistic grandson, who loves the outdoor dining, the rocks, and the informality.
Took my wife to the inn for a weekend getaway on her 50th birthday. Booked restaurant initially for convenience purposes. It turned out to be a great choice. Informed them prior of a gluten issue and they provided suitable alternatives. The food was well prepared and reasonably priced. A good selection of wines were available. Service was sharp and the waitress knowledgeable and entertaining.Would highly recommend.
Our evening was sensational. we were a group of 6. We began with drinks in the bar, moved to the dining room for an outstanding meal and then stayed over . First time doing that. All lovely and I would recommend all of my evening to everyone!! Staying over was a treat. The room was very comfortable and lovely. We had breakfast at the bakery next door, out side and it was delicious as well. My husband and I have eaten there many many times and introduced friends and family to the location at all different seasons.
I drove past this lovely place 30 years ago and made a promise to return some day - well that some day was this past weekend and I am sorry I took that long. The food is fantastic the ambience is perfect for a romantic evening and the staff was extremely attentive, fun, and professional. I cannot wait to go back! There is an outside deck which is seasonal, but the view and the sound of the babbling brook is very relaxing.
We went here for brunch last year for the first time in conjunction with getting the family Christmas tree with our daughter and her family. We decided immediately that it should become a family tradition! We returned this year and were delighted to have had a wonderful experience once again. We are looking forward to this new family tradition with our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters for many more years to come.
Dined and stayed at Inn before. Charming Inn, ample parking, tried the Sunday Pizza special that begins at 2PM. It was a OMG experience. The only other thin crust that was as crisp was Osteria, in Philadelphia and Manko & Manko in Ocean City, NJ. On way out, spoke w chef who shared his secert flour, it's defineltly a quality brand and he knows his baking. The Pizza Pies were so large for each one of us , that we enjoyed having two more meals with the rest taken home. along side our home made salds.That pizza heated up very well over the next two days. Enjoyed traditional w pepperoni & saugage and other one with seafood. Great memories created when there w lovely breakfast on Veranda and hugh modern baths.
A cozy place to celebrate the Christmas holidays on a snowy Sunday evening. Food was delicious and the server was knowledgable congenial. The strip steak and crab cake were especially tasty and well prepared. The bread and rolls were fresh from the oven and accompanied by herbed oil and Parmesan cheese.
The staff took excellent care of our seating requests, the food was delivered on time and was well prepared.

L'ANZA Leave-In Conditioner

It is not heavy, and does not weigh down my hair. Instead, it leaves it in healthy condition and easy to style. I tend to have dry hair, and this product does not dry out my hair after blow drying.
