Op-ed: How civilized can a country be if it uses a battle scene to convince foreigners to visit?

In a video clip launched as part of Israel's new campaign
to promote incoming tourism, actress Gilat Ankori, dressed in a polka dot blouse, is seen lying in ambush with 'IDF
soldiers', wearing a helmet and holding a rifle - just waiting to pull the trigger.
Video featuring Tishby and Ankori
The campaign's message is gloomy: We've tried everything, so now it's your turn. This is not only a defeatist attitude that transfers the responsibility to us, the citizens, it also presents a fake reality. After all, it is hard to initiate diplomatic processes that will actually make life in Israel more appealing. It is much easier to act as if it's more appealing. Choosing Noa Tishby, who spends most of her time in the US, to head the campaign does not add to its credibility.

She has passport. She has work permit. But Johor Baru immigration says...
No employer No entry
Maid travels to JB with employer's family. Employer not with her
By Celine Lim
The Electric New Paper
PASSPORT? Check.
Work permit? Check.
Employer not here?
Then sorry, your domestic maid cannot enter Malaysia.
At first, the Singaporean family thought it was an April Fool's Day joke.
But the immigration officer at the Johor Baru Checkpoint was serious.
Indonesian maid Sugiyanti, 26, was on a day-trip to Johor Baru with her employer's family on 1 Apr when she was refused entry.
The problem? Her employer, Madam Azizah Tawil, 51, a housewife, was not phyiscally with her.
That morning, maid and employer had ended up in different cars.
Madam Azizah was in one car with her husband and other relatives.
Ms Sugiyanti was in another car with her employer's daughter, Madam Maisara, 24, a civil servant, and others.
Madam Maisara had set off from Woodlands and got to the checkpoint first.
Madam Azizah made several stops after setting off from Kembangan to top up petrol and pick up several other passengers.
They decided that Sugiyanti would travel in Madam Maisara's car so she could help keep an eye on the children in her car.
But both parties were all supposed to meet after clearing Malaysian immigration.
The car Madam Maisara was in arrived at the checkpoint around 12.30pm. She said a Malaysian immigration officer asked them to pull over after inspecting their passports.
She and Ms Sugiyanti were asked to enter the office.
Madam Maisara's husband and two young children waited in the car.
She claimed the officer told her that it was the law that maids have to travel with their employers.
She said: 'I was shocked to hear this as we'd taken Sugiyanti to JB with us twice and there were no problems.
'I was so taken aback that I didn't think of telling them that my mum, the maid's employer, was in another car.'
Ms Sugiyanti had previously travelled with Madam Maisura's family to JB on 26 Dec and 10 Mar. On both trips, Madam Azizah was not with her.
Madam Maisura said asked the immigration officer when the law was passed.
'First, I was told that the law was passed 'a long time back'.
'But when I said I had no problems when Sugiyanti travelled with us the last two times, the officer said the law was passed 'a few months ago'.
'And finally, when I gave the date of our last trip together to JB, the officer said the law was passed on 9 Mar,' she said.
Madam Maisura said her questioning riled the five immigration officers who were then in the office.
She claimed they shouted at her, saying the previous trips, when the maid entered JB without her employer, were 'mistakes'.
She admitted to raising her voice too after that.
Madam Maisura was then told to send the maid back to Singapore if her family wanted to go on to JB. She decided to turn back.
While she filled out some forms, her husband was asked to drive in, make a U-turn and return to the departure lane of the checkpoint.
She said: 'The officers made rude comments as I filled out the paperwork they gave me. I didn't answer because I didn't want to create trouble.
'But how can they promote tourism when their front-line staff are so rude?'
An hour had passed by the time they returned to the car.
She then called her parents and told them what had happened.
As they had not yet cleared Singapore immigration, they decided to cancel their JB trip as well.
Madam Maisura said: 'I used to go to Malaysia once a week to shop and eat as I live in Woodlands. After this, I won't go back for a year at least.'
When contacted, an Immigration Department of Malaysia spokesman said it is 'not actually a requirement' for a maid to be with her employer to enter Malaysia.
The spokesman said: 'This is an additional procedure agreed upon on a departmental level.
'It is intended to ensure that maids do not abuse their work permit and passport by going into Malaysia and committing immigration offences.'
He said no statistics are kept on such offences as they are 'rare'.
He also said the Immigration Department of Malaysia encourages maids to travel with their employers.
'If the checkpoint officers are suspicious about the maid's intentions, they can ask questions,' he said.
'And if they are not satisfied with the answers, Immigration reserves the right to refuse entry to the maid.'
In this case, the spokesman said that if Madam Maisura had explained that the employer was in another car, there would have been 'no problem'.
He added that the JB checkpoint has since confirmed that a maid will be allowed to enter Malaysia without her employer if she has her passport and work permit.

We have a Yakima post and bar roof rack with a TandemTopper for our Volvo V70 wagon. The spread between the front and rear crossbars is 31.5" and it works perfect. Now, I'm looking for a post and bar roof rack for our 2005 Volvo S60 sedan that can accommodate our tandem. Unfortunately, Yakima doesn't make a roof rack for the S60. Both Thule and Volvo make a roof rack, but it looks like the spread between the front and rear crossbars is fairly limited, so I am concerned about rack movement and bike stability in crosswinds while traveling on the highway.
Does anyone have experience with with either Thule or Volvo OEM racks to transport your tandem on your Volvo, specifically the S60? Opinions and/or recommendations?

30. There are no girls on the Internet
"The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that of robbing the human race ... it robs those who dissent from the opinion still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth. If wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by the collision with error."

But by late July, most members of the Senate, including Grassley, agreed that FDA is better off with a permanent chief than without. And with five years as acting or deputy commissioner, Crawford seemed to deserve the job. But he failed to win unanimous approval from the Senate, a sign of a tough road ahead as Congress and consumers continue to scrutinize FDA activities and initiatives.
Vaccines to Vioxx
At that hearing, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) pressed Crawford to support legislative changes in FDA operations, citing flu vaccine shortages due to "inept oversight," delayed withdrawals of drugs such as Vioxx, and failure to enforce an animal-feed ban to protect against mad cow disease. In his written testimony, Crawford outlined FDA's key administrative challenges for the coming year. He noted difficulties implementing a new user-fee program for medical devices and spurring development of new vaccines and countermeasures to protect against bioterrorism. And the agency is beginning a massive move to a new White Oak campus in the Maryland suburbs, a costly and disruptive process.
Safety First
Probably the most important item on Crawford's agenda is to show that FDA can identify, prevent, and manage drug safety problems. Members of Congress have proposed legislation authorizing FDA to require drug label changes that reflect safety concerns and to force companies to complete promised Phase IV studies. Some legislators also want to expand the Office of Drug Safety (ODS) and make it more independent of drug-approval activities in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
FDA officials look to a panel convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to provide a roadmap for revising how it monitors adverse events. At the panel's July meeting, CDER officials described FDA's system for capturing and assessing information on drug risks and benefits, emphasizing the importance of interaction between ODS and the Office of New Drugs (OND). Paul Seligman, who oversees ODS as director of CDER's Office of Pharmacoepidemiology and Statistical Science (OPPS), acknowledged that additional resources could help FDA gain more information on drug utilization and safety.

Klima-Cleaner effectively removes odors from the air conditioning unit by treating the source. While other products eliminate the odor by neutralizing or masking the source of the odor, they don't clean the evaporator core surface - the heart of the air conditioner system where water condensation accumulates and where the odor originates. Klima-Cleaner's active foam works by 'scrubbing' the evaporator core reducing the opportunity for odors to reappear. Creates a fresh smelling environment that lasts for months. Apply every 3-6 months for best results. CAUTION: Recommended for professional application only. On certain vehicle makes, damage may occur if product is not applied properly. If uncertain about application, have a certified mechanic apply product. Klima-Cleaner is laboratory tested by Thor Laboratories of Germany.
"Not for use on Acura vehicles. We recommend Klima-Cleaner ETU instead"

4 Things You Need To Know About 'Deep Web' Site Silk Road
The vast majority of users can't even access the Silk Road website to see what it's about. So, how does a website stay underground, and why did the FBI shut this one down?
The vast majority of users can't even access the Silk Road website to see what it's about. So, how does a website stay underground, and why did the FBI shut this one down?
Violent street gangs that have long focused on drugs and gun running are expanding into white collar crime. According to the FBI, a slew of gangs, including the Bloods, the Crips and the Latin Kings are branching out into mortgage fraud, identity theft, check counterfeiting and bank fraud, among other crimes.
Escalating violence related to the cross-border drug trade has caused Texas authorities to advise spring break revelers to avoid Mexico. The Mexico Tourism Board countered that traveling south of the border remains safe. At stake is a big chunk of the $12 billion that tourists spend in Mexico each year.
A Bloomberg Markets magazine article follows the trail of cocaine and drug money through the Mexican cartels and finds millions of dollars flowed through major U.S. banks, such as Wachovia and Bank of America.
Infamous drug lord Ricky "Freeway Rick" Ross is suing the rapper known as Rick Ross for alleged violations including trademark infringement and misappropriation, among others, for $50 million in damages.
Once among Mexico's most prosperous cities, Ciudad Juarez has lost 120,000 jobs and 6,000 businesses in two years amid rising drug violence. The problems threaten the city's maquiladoras, or assembly lines, which employ 80% of the city's workforce and represent $1 billion a year in production, much of it destined for export.

Loose pit bull kills dog, injures owner in Olyphant
OLYPHANT - A loose pit bull killed a small dog and bit a woman on Gravity Street early Tuesday before a neighbor shot it to death, police said.
Borough Police Officer Lewis Kline said Jackie Blazek was walking her mother's small dog about 9:50 a.m. when the attack began.
Resident Elizabeth Grow noticed the pit bull running around and watched as it moved onto her front porch and started ripping apart flower pots before it spotted the small dog and ran toward it.
When Blazek scooped up her dog to try and protect it, the pit bull began jumping on her to try and get the smaller animal, Grow said.
"She was hitting the dog trying to get it off her," Grow said. "There was blood everywhere, so I knew it wasn't good."
The pit bull attacked and killed the small dog, said Kline, although he did not know the breed of the small dog or its name.
It also bit Blazek, who was treated for a minor injury, Kline said.
Blazek was released from Geisinger Community Medical Center Tuesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Blazek could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Hearing the commotion, a neighbor came outside with a handgun and shot the pit bull to death, said Kline, who did not identify the neighbor.
Grow, who also declined to identify the neighbor, said the neighbor fired three times into the pit bull's side.
Kline said the pit bull belongs to Gerald Curcerello, of the 600 block of East Scott Street. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Kline said Curcerello would likely be cited by the state dog law enforcement office for allowing his pit bull to run loose.

When we designed our garden fourteen years ago we intended it to be a haven for birds and other wildlife. Consequently we have had the pleasure of providing nest sites for many species. We are host to various types of finch and tit, all making their nests in our shrubs and trees alongside the resident robins, wrens, thrushes and blackbirds. We are also visited daily by jays, collared doves and two types of woodpecker, green and lesser spotted. At ground level we have seen hedgehogs (Living under the shed alongside rabbits), red squirrel, voles and field mice (all wary of the dog). We have even had storks visit us. Today, I was delighted to see four Waxwing preening themselves in a tree. Lovely birds!
Happy new year, everyone.

To the editor:
On April 26, Jacksonville and Onslow County lost a friend, auctioneer and veteran all rolled into one. Clinton Williams was an auctioneer here for many years, holding auctions in and out of town.
Clinton had a personality that didn�t quit. You often would purchase items you really didn�t want or need because of the effective way he sold the item. He drew a crowd whereever he went.
In 1999, we convinced him to become the fundraising chairman for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation. During that time, we raffled off an airplane, a boat and a motorcycle and held an auction. He later took over as treasurer and did a terrific job in getting the City of Jacksonville and the county to get onboard with us to build the memorial. He was instrumental in providing the float seen in many area parades.
Clinton could always be found in the parking lot of the memorial greeting people and passing out fliers. As a Marine veteran, the memorial meant a lot to him.
Our prayers and sympathies go out to his family and especially his wife Marilyn, who was always at his side.
Pat Walker
Editor�s note: The above letter was signed by the board of directors for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation � Pat and Lee Walker, Mike and Marian Rooney, Jeff Waters, Linda and Donald Odum on behalf of the members of VVMF.

This gourmet restaurant serves a fusion of French and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as a few traditionally Egyptian dishes. The beautiful dining room provides an upmarket setting that exudes Old World charm and romance. Guests are expected to dress smartly, and ties and jackets are available for borrowing. Try the crayfish risotto, and the potato and celery ravioli. This is sure to be a treat of a night out.
Once upon a time, long long ago, there was a beautiful Victorian house in a small, romantic little town. It was situated at number 5 Ryneveld Street - a place we now call home.
When conceptualizing our new restaurant, we became aware of the special qualities of the number five. Five is the number of harmony and balance. Five is the number of perfection. Five is the number of senses in the human body - touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. Five is the number of basic tastes - sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami.
Our restaurant comprises five rooms namely the dining room, study, library, bedroom and radio lounge.
We welcome you to 5 Ryneveld, where we will provide you with an exciting dining experience, stimulating your five senses by exploring the five basic tastes.
5 Ryneveld is a cute and quirky meeting place for those embracing a playful and sophisticated atmosphere. It will be shaped by the friends, family and other warm-hearted people who meet, eat and play there.
Welcome home...welcome to 5 Ryneveld.

Fourth seed A-Rod made his earliest exit from Queen's Club since his first round exit in 2001 when he was shocked 6-4, 7-6 (8) by Israel's Dudi Sela in the third round today. To his credit Dude played exceptionally well mixing up his backhand and blocking back the American's booming serve to neutralize his advantage. But A-Rod seemed like he left his aggressive stance in his Babolat bag, playing too much from the back court and not imposing his bigger game on Dude.
Afterward, he told the press he won't take a WC into Eastbourne next week:
I'm not gonna go into a panic mode and start doing that stuff. I'll try to get some practice in. I'll probably get more time on the track or in the gym. Maybe I'll figure out if there's some shows or a concert to kind of get away and take my mind off the fact that I'm not playing here.Since winning the Sony Ericsson Open back in March A-Rod has played five matches and won three (2 - Roland Garros, 1- QC.) Let's hope he gets some really, I mean REALLY good practice sessions in with all the points he needs to defend as last year's Wimby finalist. An early round loss could mean a big drop in the rankings for the World No. 7.
Second seed Novak Djokovic was booted by Xavier Malisse 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 and complained that the playing conditions were dangerous:
The whole match you can feel the rain and the court was extremely slippery. A couple of times I could have injured myself, to stretch the muscle or something like that.Let's hope his loss has more to do with the conditions than with his game, particularly any lingering effects from his quarterfinal loss to Jurgen Melzer at Roland Garros. I thought he might take that loss hard which, if true, would put a second week appearance at Wimby in serious jeopardy.
And fifth seed Marin Cilic went down 7-6 (2), 6-2 to Michael Llodra who is consulting with Amelie Mauresmo this grass season. Nice win for this newly formed team. I'd say Momo has given him some good advice based on this result. Good on ya Frenchies.
Plus, did you hear about the drama between Andy Murray + Mardy Fish during their match? Check it here, if you're into that kinda thing.

Colored Lights: Forty Years of Words and Music, Show Biz, Collaboration,…
by John Kander, Fred Ebb
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 057121133X, Hardcover)
The autobiography, in dialogue, of the composer and lyricist of Chicago and Cabaret as well as a wise and witty memoir of forty years of American musicals.
Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb are the longest-running composer-lyricist team in Broadway history, having first joined forces in 1962. The creators of such groundbreaking musicals as Chicago, Cabaret, and Kiss of the Spider Woman, Kander and Ebb have helped to push American musical theater in a more daring direction, both musically and dramatically. Their impact on individual performers has been great as well, starting with the handpicked star of their first musical: an untested nineteen-year-old named Liza Minnelli (who writes of this experience in her introduction).
Colored Lights covers the major shows of Kander and Ebb's partnership, from Flora, The Red Menace (starring a then-unknown Liza) to The Visit, due to open on Broadway in 2004. The pages and musicals in between reveal what has made theirs such a long-lived musical partnership--and one so valued by the artists they have worked with. In recounting the genesis and controversies of Cabaret, reflecting on the superstar mentality of such artist as Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, and recalling their work with Bob Fosse on Chicago (as well as their views on the blockbuster 2002 film), John Kander and Fred Ebb provide a history not only of their own lives but also of the American musical theater of the late twentieth century.

State Rep. Irving Slosberg, D-Boca Raton, is the only member of Palm Beach County's state House delegation who hasn't opened a 2014 re-election campaign.
Don't read anything into it, he says.
Slosberg says he'll open a 2014 campaign soon after the current legislative session ends May 3.
"I just thought that it was better to open it after session," Slosberg told PostOnPolitics.
Slosberg served in the state House from 2000 to 2006, then won terms in 2010 and 2012. He didn't open his 2010 campaign until March of that year. And he didn't open his 2012 campaign until June of 2011.

Environmental Responsibility
Did you know the typical attorney uses 20,000 to 100,000 sheets of paper every year, or approximately 80 to 400 sheets of paper per day? Even in this digital age, the practice of law is extremely paper-intensive and creates a surprisingly significant carbon footprint.
Dickinson attorneys have always strived to serve their clients with excellence and integrity while having a positive impact on the Iowa community, and environmental stewardship is an important aspect of the firm's innovative and dedicated service.
Dickinson was the first law firm in Iowa to enroll in the ABA's Law Office Climate Challenge and to be recognized as a Partner in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WasteWise program, targeted at reducing paper waste. The firm's environmental responsibility initiatives include practices such as purchasing recycled or biodegradable paper and office supplies, reducing paper use by double-sided printing and electronically distributing and storing documents, recycling all paper waste, encouraging use of non-disposable tableware, and programming energy-efficient modes on electronic equipment. The firm is also proud that its main office is housed in the Hub Tower, which has been designated an Energy Star building.

Police say there is nothing to indicate the deaths of an 11-year-old boy and an elderly couple within two months are linked.
18:34, UK, Monday 10 June 2013
An 11-year-old boy has been found dead in the same North Carolina hotel room where two elderly guests were found dead nearly two months ago.
Police said Jeffrey Lee Williams was found dead on Saturday in a room at the Best Western in Boone.
The boy's 49-year-old mother, Jeannie Williams, was found injured and has since come out of a medically induced coma, relatives told WCNC-TV.
Police Sergeant Shane Robbins did not describe Ms Williams' injuries, and a cause of death for the boy has not been determined.
An elderly couple were found dead in the same room on April 16, but Sgt Robbins said "at this time there is nothing to indicate that the two are linked."
He added that investigators "have been able to determine that there is no danger to the general public".
Sgt Robbins said detectives are testing possible evidence related to the dead boy as well as features of the room.

Home > News > Orthopedic Surgery Specialists of Aberdeen Joins Avera Medical Group
Published on December 06, 2013
Orthopedic Surgery Specialists (OSS) of Aberdeen, will join the Avera Medical Group (AMG) on January 31, 2014. The longtime orthopedic specialist practice that serves a large region surrounding Aberdeen, will be changing its name to Avera Orthopedic Surgery Specialists. The practice includes orthopedic surgeons, Dr. James MacDougall, Dr. Matthew Reynen, Dr. James Mantone, Dr. Patrick Miller, and Dr. Brandon Fites; physical medicine and rehab specialist, Dr. Donald Frisco; primary care sports medicine specialist, Dr. Danny Wolfgram; and podiatrist, Dr. James Johnston. The physicians will continue practicing at their current location at 701 8th Ave NW and ten locations in South and North Dakota. Along with the physicians, the change to Avera will also include 115 employees of the Orthopedic Center of the Dakotas.
"We are very pleased to add this group of excellent physicians and their experienced staff to our Avera family", says John Porter, President and CEO of Avera Health. "We appreciate their well-earned reputation as a regional orthopedic center, and we look forward to joining forces to provide even better care to patients."
Avera OSS physicians will continue to provide services through their surgery center, Dakota Plains Surgical Center, as well as the Surgery Center at Avera St. Luke's Hospital.
"We look forward to this new relationship with Avera," says Dr. James MacDougall. "Through all of the years we have operated our clinic and surgery center in Aberdeen, we have maintained our privileges and have practiced at Avera St. Luke's Hospital. We are very familiar with their surgical team and facilities, work well with their staff, and anticipate a joint partnership in building the orthopedic care model for the future."
Avera is the largest provider of orthopedic services in South Dakota and has been recognized for outstanding quality. The new partnership will actively pursue new concepts to improve access, treatment and outcomes for patients. "This merging of talented medical professionals is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it will solidify the Avera Medical Group and Avera St. Luke's Hospital as the premier provider for orthopedic services within a 200 mile radius of Aberdeen," says Todd Forkel, President and CEO of Avera St. Luke's Hospital..

Here's How You Make a Big Mac (Kind Of)
You forgot the propylene glycol alginate, chef.
McDonald's rolled out a promotional video that features the company's executive chef Dan Coudreaut making a Big Mac at home, and you know it's casual because he makes a point of removing his chef's jacket. You can watch it below, if you're interested, but the interesting thing about the video is that it's less instructional — only an idiot needs to be told how to layer burger fixings on a bun — and way more about making McDonald's signature agro-burger look like a wholesome, unprocessed product.
Watch Coudreaut as he seasons and cooks the patties by hand, as he freshly slices onions and a sesame bun, and as he puts together the burger's special sauce — nothing more than a mix of mayo, relish, vinegar, mustard, and some spices. However, a quick glimpse at the Big Mac ingredient list reveals a few items missing from Coudreaut's sauce: things such as propylene glycol alginate and vegetable protein. But we can chalk that up to the fact that he's using store-bought mayo, which is basically just eggs and oil and a shitload of chemicals.
Even still, we'd rather have a hamburger cooked at home.

Third-person action
25,232pages on
this wiki
this wiki
The third-person action genre is a broad game classification, and one of the most popular. The only requirements for it to be in this category is that the camera needs to be primarily in a third-person perspective. So whether it's a Spartan warrior stabbing a Minotaur in the face, or a cartoon like caveman bashing a dinosaur with a club, it's a third-person action game.
Other genres such as hack & slashes, third-person shooters and beat 'em ups can, sometimes, be considered sub-genres of third-person action.

In 2005, Aida established her fish business. Aida requires a loan in order to purchase additional stocks of fish in bulk for resale. She thanks you for your support.
SELFINA is engaged in the economic empowerment of women in Tanzania through the provision of a leasing and leaseback microfinance facility as a practical way to achieve the economic and social emancipation of women.
SELFINA has taken a leading role as a pioneer of microcredit in Tanzania through micro-leasing. Because customs and traditions in Tanzania normally make it difficult for women to own land and assets, the women lack tangible collateral assets, and financial institutions do not consider them to be credit-worthy. This leads to poor financial support and, as a result, limited access to basic needs and services for women with low incomes.
SELFINA buys and leases equipment to women. When a client needs working capital, SELFINA buys the equipment from the client, extends a loan to her, and then leases back the same equipment – a process called a "sale and leaseback" arrangement.

Big Casting News for Justin Bieber!
Holy bizarre casting news, Batman!
Given how irate some Batman fans were by Ben Affleck getting cast as the Caped Crusader last month, we're guessing more than a few of them won't be thrilled by the latest casting rumors involving none other than Justin Bieber.
Justin caused a bit of an uproar by posting a photo to Instagram on September 13 of himself holding the script for the new film which will feature Superman and Batman. The script has Justin's name on it in big letters, and he captioned the photo with a very provocative hashtag: "#robin ??"
So is Justin really up for the role of Batman's sidekick, or is this just a joke? We're inclined to think the latter, given that he later tweeted, "Off to do something funny…or die," meaning the script may have been a prop for a Funny Or Die comedy sketch. And would he really be allowed to divulge casting news if he actually is in the film?
Then again, we can see Justin making a pretty good Robin. To be honest, seeing Justin in tights would never be a bad thing in our book. But what do YOU think about the casting possibility?
Perhaps all Justin really needs is a beauty and a
beat cape.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Suddenly, the presidential campaign has acquired a Spanish accent.
"Romney cree en nosotros," U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., tells viewers of a TV ad in South Florida, amid scenes of swaying palm trees, the Miami skyline and smiling Cuban-Americans. "Romney believes in us."
Far from frigid Iowa and New Hampshire, Republican front-runner Mitt Romney and his backers are reaching out to Hispanic voters in the Sunshine State while trying to lock up its winner-take-all primary Jan. 31. So far, his strategy seems to be working.
Despite his hard line on immigration, Romney has rounded up endorsements from Hispanic Republican leaders across Florida, while pollsters and political analysts predict he will draw solid support from Hispanic voters in the primary. Hoping not to be outdone, Republican rival Newt Gingrich stumped in Miami on Friday and accused Romney of "pandering to hard-liners" on immigration issues.
"So far, Romney has the jump on him. I've already gotten three fliers from Romney _ in Spanish," said Dario Moreno, a Miami pollster and professor at Florida International University who focuses on Hispanic voters. "Central Florida and the Tampa Bay area are where Newt could gain some ground by presenting a more moderate stance on immigration than Romney."
A bigger struggle over this volatile issue will come in the general-election campaign, when the Republican nominee squares off against President Barack Obama.
While preparing his re-election campaign, Obama is courting Hispanic leaders, reasserting his support for an immigration overhaul and revising rules to make it easier for close family members of U.S. citizens to avoid deportation and work here legally. The new rules spare illegal-immigrant relatives from having to return to their home countries indefinitely while seeking permission to re-enter on grounds of family hardship.
The rules will affect tens of thousands nationwide. The debate on more sweeping immigration changes could affect millions who now live in the shadows of the law.
These issues really hit home in Florida _ far more so than in Iowa, New Hampshire or the next primary site in South Carolina _ largely because the Sunshine State has the third-largest number of illegal-immigrant residents, estimated at 825,000.
That number has dwindled rapidly as jobs dried up during and after the Great Recession. Five years ago, Florida's illegal-immigrant population topped a million, according to the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center.
The issue remains important to immigrant communities. And it is also important to many voters who say illegal immigrants take jobs from Americans while straining schools and hospitals.
"I don't want to point fingers at anybody, but many people who come here will work for cash under the table, which keeps American citizens from getting a job," said Vicki Samuels, a Republican and tea-party activist in Pembroke Pines. "It's a drain on social services. It's also a drain on schools. Taxpayers can only make up so much of it."
Most Hispanics in Florida are Puerto Ricans, who are citizens, or Cuban-Americans, who are citizens or legal residents. They are not directly affected by the immigration debate. Some resent those who entered illegally.
But polls have shown that most favor proposals that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and many are offended by harsh campaign rhetoric that they think smacks of prejudice against immigrants and Hispanics.
The immigration debate "has been turned into a political anti-immigrant and racist diatribe, when in reality it's a legal question," said Phil Tua, a Puerto Rican Republican in Longwood, who supports Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the primary. "Because of the rhetoric, you have Puerto Ricans marching in the streets for illegal aliens."
Republican candidates are not bigoted, he said, "but they need to explain themselves better."

Starbucks delivered record second-quarter results April 25. With every part of its business doing well (Europe excepted), its stock isn't as expensive as some would like you to believe. Investopedia's Stephen Simpson finds its current price hard to swallow given future growth likely won't be as robust as in the past. I, on the other hand, see a business performing at a reasonably high level of execution and not about to let down its guard.
Should you buy its stock? I think so. Here's why.
Discount Brokers Comparison: Your one-stop shop for finding the perfect broker for your investments.
Starbucks Card
Forget about earnings for a minute and consider this: the dollars loaded on Starbucks Cards in the quarter increased by 32% year-over-year. Whether through new activations or reloads (I use a card daily), it's building a huge database of information about its customers by simply making the card worth using. I could easily just put out my Visa to pay (I get travel points) but the rewards, especially the free refill, makes its card a sensible way for me to get my daily caffeine fix. Furthermore, I have one of those small cards attached to my keys (I don't believe they offer them anymore) so I never leave home without it. Its reward program is brilliant.
So, when I read a stat like the one above it isn't surprising to find out it increased revenues in Q2 by 11% to $3.6 billion. More importantly, however, is that global comparable store sales increased by 6% year-over-year and operating profits gained 26% to $544.1 million. Even better, operating margins increased 180 basis points to 15.3%. Now consider that two of its peers--Dunkin Brands (Nasdaq:DNKN) and Tim Hortons (NYSE:THI)--both have higher operating margins at 39.2% and 19.2% respectively. It's only natural to consider both more profitable.
However, that doesn't take into account their entire financial picture. Although Dunkin Brands' operating income in its latest quarter grew 12.2%, its level of debt renders its growth meaningless at almost six times EBITDA. With annual free cash flow of $132 million, it will take Dunkin more than a decade to repay its obligations. As for Tim Horton, its operating income in the past year grew by just 6.5%, slower than either Dunkin or Starbucks. Dunkin has a debt problem and Tim Horton has a problem growing profits. Starbucks has neither.
SEE: Understanding The Income Statement
New Brands
The company's been on an acquisition binge the past two years dolling out $750 million for Evolution Juice, La Boulange Bakery and Teavana. With every acquisition Starbucks becomes even more vertically integrated. Evolution gives it an entree into the world of juice; not everyone drinks coffee or tea. Opening stores under the Evolution brand as well as making its products available in Starbucks locations, the company generates a higher margin than if it used a third-party supplier.
As for La Boulange Bakery, this gives the company a realistic chance of growing its food revenue. I mentioned its My Rewards (Starbucks Card) loyalty program; by assembling a database of its customer's purchasing habits, it knows exactly what type of offer to make in order to generate additional revenue. For example, I drink nothing but plain coffee. Its data tells them as much. So, I'm routinely offered a dollar or two off food purchases (one-week expiration) with my card. Once in a blue moon I'll bite and get a muffin but I've never been a huge fan of its food. By the end of 2014, it expects to have the bakery's products in all its U.S. company operated stores by the end of 2014. A higher quality (along with a fair but not inexpensive price) of food would probably persuade me to spend more. And it knows this hence the acquisition.
Its purchase of Teavana wasn't as much about wanting to own the tea market, but rather about using its operational skill to capture more of the consumer's discretionary spending. Just as there are plenty of coffee drinkers, there are also lots of tea drinkers, many of whom don't enjoy Tazo, Starbucks' own brand of tea. In the hands of someone else, discretionary dollars are going elsewhere. By bringing the country's largest tea retailer in-house, it's ensuring those dollars stay with them. It's a brilliant way to reduce your competition while ensuring your future growth.
SEE: Analyzing An Acquisition Announcement
Too Much To Mention
Teavana, Evolution and La Boulange Bakery are but three exciting additions to Starbucks. There is so much going on in its business that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that it's not a start-up but rather a business that's 42 years old. Howard Schultz commented in its second quarter conference call that many of the stores it's opened in recent years have produced some of the best results in its history. Investors thought its business was saturated and yet all these new endeavors suggest it's just getting started.
Bottom Line
If you value Starbucks like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq:GMCR), it's indeed priced to perfection. If on the other hand you value it based on the business it could become 5-10 years down the road, it's more than reasonably priced at this point.
Five years from now you'll look back on having paid $60 per share--and be glad you did.
At the time of writing, Will Ashworth did not own any shares in any company mentioned in this article.

Montana Restaurant Owners Kept Secret Stash of Bear Paws
The owners of New Hunan in Helena have been banned from hunting for six years.
The husband and wife owners of New Hunan restaurant in Helena, Montana, face thousands of dollars in fines after authorities recovered a five-gallon bucket filled with twelve bear paws from their kitchen, while a search of their home yielded three gallbladders and a freezer filled with two butchered black bears. A investigator with Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks says the agency received a tip that the couple was asking hunter-type clientele for leads on black-bear gallbladders; a panacea-like effect is ascribed to bear bile in some branches of traditional medicine, and the poached organ can fetch thousands in parts of Asia, along with paws, which are also allegedly tasty. New Hunan's owners say they were just dabbling in all that bile to fix the wife's hip problems, but because agents concluded that the couple wasn't shipping bear parts out of state, they've yet to rule out a terrifying secret menu of paw-and-bile health smoothies.

After this weekend, he can add that to his list of accomplishments.
Beginning on Friday, Houghton and his Hawkeyes have their first chance to invite the Big Ten's top competitors into their home at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center for four days of some of the NCAA's best action in the Big Ten Championship singles and doubles tournament.
Voted on by the Big Ten coaches, Houghton said being asked to host a tournament of this caliber speaks volumes about the progress the Iowa program has made in recent years.
"Until 2006, we didn't have a facility to hold something like this in Iowa City," Houghton said. "It's a big event, and the fact that the other coaches agreed to have it here means they like our facilities and have paid attention to the state of our program. It's definitely a sign of our strength, and the guys have been excited about this since they found out a few months ago."
With only one Iowa native on the roster, the majority of out-of-state and international players are proud of the home they've made for themselves in the Hawkeye State, and are excited to showcase their skills to the entire Big Ten in front of the Iowa City community.
With no travel expenses or roster limitations, Houghton said he plans on playing as many men as possible, and he's hoping local support from university and community members gives his Hawkeyes a little extra push.
A few Iowa student-athletes have triumphed in this tournament, with former Hawkeyes Tyler Cleveland and Christian Bierich both claiming Big Ten indoor titles within the last 10 years.
Houghton sees the 2011 tournament as a chance for history to repeat itself, as it will conclude what he's deemed the Hawkeyes' "best fall season since (he) can remember."
Boasting a 46-34 team record in singles, and recent success by seniors Will Vasos, Marc Bruche, and sophomore Jonas Dierckx at the ITA All-American Championships, Houghton said he's confident his men are "capable of just about anything" in the Big Ten.
Vasos, who has been a top competitor for the Hawkeyes since his freshman year in 2008, said this tournament has added significance for he and his five fellow seniors, as it is a chance for them to "protect (their) house" for the first and possibly last time.
"Year in and year out, our class has stayed really close," said Vasos. "This year, we're even closer because we're all leading the younger guys together. Of any team I've been with here, I'd say these guys show the most dedication and will to win. We all have the same vision of how we want this season to go, and that's with a Big Ten championship."
While Iowa finished last season with a losing conference record, redshirt junior Mitch Beckert feels the Hawkeyes have been given a "fresh start" this year because of changes within the conference -- namely the addition of Nebraska, who the Hawkeyes have yet to face. This milestone makes the tournament even more meaningful, and he thinks the added pressure will be extra motivating for his teammates.
"My whole life, people have always considered Iowa a football school or a wrestling school," said Beckert, the team's sole born-and-bred Iowan. "It's cool to see Iowa getting recognition for something outside of that, and I'm glad to be a part of it before I graduate. We're used to representing the University of Iowa on the road, but it's going to be cool to show the new-and-improved Big Ten Conference what we can do at home, in front of our friends and family."

Scott Sandell is approaching two decades at NEA, but the former Microsoft product manager hasn't lost his touch. He posted big wins with enterprise software firm Workday (IPO 2012) and Nicira (acquired by VMWare in 2012 for $1.26 billion). He was the largest shareholder in Fusion-io, with NEA holding a 39% stake at the time of its 2011 public debut. Sandell was a lead investor in Playdom, which sold to Disney in 2010 for $563 million (plus a $200 million earn-out). Other investments include Tableau (IPO 2013), Bloom Energy, CloudFlare, and Blue Jeans Network. Sandell told Forbes you never can tell when you're going to meet a great entrepreneur: "I met Daphne Koller when our families got together for lunch at my house. She told me what she was doing in her lab at Stanford, and we funded Coursera less than a month later." He says competitive rowing taught him more about teamwork and what it takes to succeed in venture capital than anything he learned in school.

In a letter to Ban, Gila and Doron Tregerman tell of the day their 4-year-old son was killed by a mortar fired from Gaza; 'Why are you silent?' parents ask Ban.
Matan Tzuri
Published: 09.04.14, 13:03 / Israel News
Matan Tzuri
Gila and Doron Tregerman, whose four-year-old son Daniel was killed in a mortar hit on their home in Nahal Oz, sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
on Thursday in protest of the UN inquiry commission whose mandate is to investigate whether Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip constitute as war crimes.
"Daniel was killed from a mortar shell that was fired by Hamas members from an elementary school for boys in Gaza City," they wrote. "It wasn't a stray shell. It wasn't accidental death."
"It wouldn't investigate how after these excavations carried out under duress and in slave-like conditions, the Hamas murdered the diggers, even the children, just to be sure they won't be able to pass information to Israel."
"All the precautions that we have taken have failed. Daniel, 4.5-years-old, was killed in our house, while playing with Yuval in a tent built indoors and not outside, because it's dangerous," the parents wrote Ban. "He died in our hands, in front of his little sister and best friend Yuval, 3.5 years old. He died in front of Uri, only four months old and right before our eyes, his mother and father. We failed. We couldn't protect our beautiful and talented baby."
"We were a happy family. We lived in Kibbutz Nahal Oz near Gaza, and found ourselves constantly debating whether not to abandon Nahal Oz and move to another location, quieter, safer, far from rocket fire from Gaza, and far away from the alarms," they wrote.
"You informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu half an hour after our Daniel was killed, perhaps while he was lying dead in our living room, covered in a blanket," they wrote.
