Why do you question just a statement of Stoner. Do not you know that Rossi have habit to attacking his competitors. Look again to Rossi history. Reason why Rossi not attack MM maybe is because his may have been more friendly after undergoing training at 2 years Ducati camp. And will be very embarrassing for Rossi to attack youngboy like MM who have 15 years age diferent. And also maybe because now Rossi is not in a good conditionp at the standings.

Michelle Obama Makes Page One For Reducing Paid Work Schedule
So you're working your tail off as a hospital executive, in addition to serving on a couple of corporate board and raising daughters, ages 5 and 8, with your spouse. Then your husband decides to run for president. You then opt to cut back to 20 percent time at the hospital so you can help your candidate. And your decision makes national news. Michelle Obama's schedule scale-back has been the focus of articles in The New York Times and The Washington Post . And the Washington, D.C.-based blogger PunditMom weighed in as well saying, "Front page coverage presenting [Obama] as a high profile victim of the balancing/opt-out discussion." (May 2007)

NEW PORT RICHEY — With some fire department vehicles beginning to show their age, New Port Richey City Council members did not hesitate to approve buying a new fire truck for $435,000.
The city fleet includes three fire engines and a ladder truck, Fire Chief Alex Onishenko explained in a recent memo.
For a week last summer, the department was operating with only one fire engine. The other two were out of service while at specialty shops to repair mechanical problems, according to Onishenko.
Ordinarily, he said, the fire department relies on a fire truck for 10 years of "frontline service," plus another five years as a reserve vehicle.
The department wants to replace the 1996 Sutphen fire truck, which was in regular use for 13 years, Onishenko reported. Because of the age of the vehicle, the 1996 truck has little trade-in value. So the city probably will have to pursue marketing the truck to rural volunteer fire departments.
The city will buy its new Pierce fire truck pumper from Ten-8 Fire Equipment, in Bradenton. Since fire trucks are custom-built, the city should take delivery of the new engine by July 2014, Onishenko said.
The company gave the city a price break on the vehicle through a prepay discount payment. Under standard financing, the fire engine would have cost nearly $450,000. The New Port Richey budget contains enough for the $435,000 purchase price.
"They have always provided the fire department with excellent service after the sale with all of our vehicle needs," Onishenko wrote in a memo. The company, which borrowed its name from the code that means "in service," employs some 80 people, according to its website.
The fire department bought its last vehicle in 2008 through Ten-8, Onishenko pointed out. The city bought its ladder truck in 1993 from the firm. Ten-8 executives also might assist the city in finding a buyer for its 1996 truck.
Base specifications for the new Pierce fire engine include a turbocharged diesel engine with minimum 350 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque. The water tank can hold 750 gallons. The fuel tank will hold 50 gallons. Automatic transmission and air conditioning come as standard equipment.
The Pierce vehicle comes with a 5-year warranty for engine, transmission and fire pump. The frame has a lifetime warranty, while the body is guaranteed for 10 years.

As summer continues to march towards us, complete with promises of sand-filled bikinis and itchy sunburns, we find ourselves more and more excited by the promise of warm weather. Maybe it's because we're still middle schoolers at heart and as such, relish summer vacation (even if we're at work), but we suspect that it's actually because of a summertime sartorial staple: distressed denim shorts. After all, these versatile bottoms manage to go with everything, from flyaway blazers to graphic tees, and as such, we're kinda in love. We pulled together a few snaps from some seriously stylish street snaps and of course, our lovely stylist chose four pairs to seriously improve your life.
If you wanna get in on the look, try one of the amazing choices below.(from left to right: cuffed bermuda shorts, destroyed cut-off shorts, distressed cuffed denim shorts, and leopard high-waisted shorts)
What was your favorite look? Are you feeling inspired to try anything new?

There are books that are so good you find it nearly impossible to put them down. You stay up late, take extra trips to the washroom at work, and even when you do finally manage to put them down for a while, they are easy to slide back into when you do pick them up again. And then there are books that are every bit as good, but are also dense or difficult or not very fast paced, and even though they are amazing and hard to put down, they're also very hard to pick back up again because of that density or what have you. The Ambassador is the second kind of book; absolutely brilliant, but it makes demands on the reader, and can be difficult to get into again once you actually manage to tear yourself away so you can go to work or what have you. Which, you know, is why it took me more than four months to read it, even though I loved every page.
Sturla Jón Jónsson is a poet with a new book out, and because this isn't a fantasy novel, he also has a day job as a building superintendent, where the tenants have no inkling of his literary career. He gets invited to a poetry festival in Lithuania as the Icelandic representative. Before leaving for Lithuania, Sturla spends an exorbitant amount of money on a fine coat, which is promptly stolen upon his arrival. Sturla is outraged by the affront, but he has ethical problems of his own to worry about. While at the festival, a newspaper in Iceland publicly accuses him of plagiarizing the poems in his new book from an unpublished manuscript written years earlier by his dead cousin Jónas.
Long-time readers of this blog—assuming there are any—will remember that I absolutely adored The Pets (also published by Open Letter; my review here), which as far as I know is the only other book of Ólafsson's to be translated into English. The Ambassador is every bit as good, but it's also entirely different. The Pets was abrupt and intense, while The Ambassador is slow and sprawling, though it eventually comes to rely on the same kind of tension, as Strurla's bad choices—and his inability to see them as bad choices—threatens to unravel his life. Additionally, Lytton Smith's translation is smooth and graceful, with a Nabokovian alienness to it, an elegance and precision that brings with it a hint of the foreign.

Sweet Peas and Roses
Hi, I wanted to plant sweet pea climbing vines in my front yard but instead of using a trellis, I was wondering if it was possible to use the rose bushes. Does anyone know if it'll be okay to use the roses or if it may actually harm them? Thanks in advance!

Re: Sweet Peas and Roses
Hi there! I would avoid using another living plant as a trellis. Roses are finicky to begin with and once you get a vine climbing around them, it will be hard to prune both plants. The two will also compete for light and nutrients.

The FMV for many coins is not on the rise but dealers are reporting that sales have increased substantially over the past couple of months.
Since April 2007 the Gold Commemorative market has been soft. However, it seems to be showing some life over the past few weeks. Not that prices are rising, but coins are selling at a higher pace than they had been over the past three to four years. The following chart shows a comparison of FMV in April 2007 to today's levels for MS 65 and MS 66. We chose these grades because they are the most collectible and available. Bear in mind that all these coins have very limited original mintages and the populations for specific grades are not very high. We have also listed the total populations for each grade of the combined NGC and PCGS, courtesy of the certification services.
As you can see, every issue is lower with the exception of the MS 65 1915-S Pan / Pac $50 Octagonal; in fact, most coins are down nearly 50% since April 2007. If these coins are not bargains at the current FMV prices, then they certainly are very close to the bottom of a cycle. Judging by the prices in 2007, there may be a lot of upside for this series in the not-too-distant future.
Silver Commemoratives are another series that have shown more life as of late. Again, the FMV for most issues is not on the rise but dealers are reporting that sales have increased substantially over the past couple of months. Collectors are beginning to search for bargains and there are a lot of them. They have been out of favor for so long some dealers are willing to negotiate their previous asking prices. However, if you are looking for top-of-the-line coins in grade, dealers are not as likely to let these go cheap. One reason is that many high-end coins are being sent back into the certification services for the Plus Designation. In the past, we have seen many cases of NGC coins with the star designation command strong premiums over the listed FMV. It should be just a matter of time before these newly graded, premium-quality coins enter the market in enough numbers that we can report some price differences between regular grades and the + grades.
Ten percent of all US coins are commonly traded on a regular day-to-day basis. These are the coins with the highest populations by grade. They are also the easiest coins to evaluate because they have a very narrow trading range. For example, the 1881-S Morgan Dollar in MS 65 will retail for $125 to $165, depending on whether the coin is at the low end of the grade or the high end. The current FMV is $158. If you look at the NGC and PCGS population reports, you can see which coins fall into this category. The pop for the 1881-S in MS 65 is 43,598 in NGC and 44,410 in PCGS. Coins that have thousands certified by grade will typically trade for the smallest buy / sell spread. However, the other 90% of coins trade much differently. There can be spreads as much as 50% to 100% because of the difficulty in locating a specific date and grade. Availability and eye appeal can add an extra premium.
With Early Copper Cents, there is a great degree of difficulty in determining value because they can be labeled Brown, Red and Brown, or Red. The difference between a Brown and Red coin in a high grade can be immense. For example, an 1853 Large Cent in MS 66 Brown has an FMV of $1,380; there are 77 certified by NGC and only 12 by PCGS. In MS 66 R&B, the FMV is $1,910 with a pop of 36 by NGC and 6 by PCGS. The Red coin in MS 66 has an FMV of $7,030 with 12 certified by NGC and 13 by PCGS. To compound the pricing dilemma, there are various degrees of color between Brown and Red that can cause prices to fluctuate either higher or lower. If a Red coin has any hint of Brown on it, the price may be discounted substantially. Moreover, if a Red & Brown coin has more Red than Brown, it can have a positive effect on value.
Let us add another factor to this Copper Cent color scenario. The 1926-S Lincoln Cent is quite rare in high grades. In MS 65 Red the FMV is $97,500 and there is but one coin certified by NGC and one by PCGS. However, most of the Mint State coins certified are not fully struck and if they do have a strong strike, they will most likely be Brown in color. The Brown MS 65 has an FMV of $1,840 with only six NGC coins and four PCGS. The MS 65 Red & Brown is $5,310 FMV with 26 certified by NGC and 12 by PCGS. The 1923-S and 24-S have the same weakness issues in the strike for Mint State coins. In MS 65 Brown the 1923-S has an FMV of $790 against the MS 65 Red, which is $17,750. The 1924-S is $980 in MS 65 Brown and $20,150 in MS 65 Red. With such a large difference in FMV, you will find numerous coins that trade somewhere in between our reported prices because of the shade of color. Very few coins will fall perfectly into the Brown, Red & Brown, or Red columns because of this color factor.
The point is that coins have to stand on their own merits. Other than the 10% most common issues, the rest of the coin market is governed by the look of each and every coin. It either will be above or below the standards of the individual buyer, who must like the coin just a little bit more than the seller does for there to be a transaction. What it all comes down to is eye appeal. This is the issue that NGC and PCGS have addressed in their determination to add the Plus Designation to coins that are just a breath away from the next higher grade; or, it has a superior look to the majority of the other coins within the same grade. Dealers have long tried to refine grading to the nth degree. These advances are what improves our industry and helps buyers and sellers become more proficient at trading coins.

Watch Lil' Kim Call Nicki Minaj A Stupid Hoe
By Jessica Grabert 4 years ago
Nicki Minaj has had a couple of big weeks. First, she starred in the Super Bowl halftime show with Madonna and M.I.A. Then, she worked it in a featured performance at the Grammy Awards Ceremony. It has been four days since that latter gig and people are still talking about Minajs performance. Which naturally irritates the hell out of Lil Kim.
Lil Kim joined Andy Cohen and guest star Willie Geist for a late night chat on Watch What Happens Live where Lil Kim chatted about everything from her former stint in jail to Nicki Minajs Grammy performance, which Lil Kim supposedly missed. While the whole episode as a whole was pretty riled up, the crowning moment of the interview may have been a short conversation about Minajs new single Stupid Hoe, in which Lil Kim called Minaj a stupid hoe.
Prior to this, the battle between the two female rappers has mostly been relegated to not-so-nice lyrics in songs, which is what makes the interview so completely unexpected. Pop Blend will keep you posted if Minaj fires back with her own insult. Until then, you can check out the clip, courtesy of Bravo, below.

Maybe in the future, guys will be impersonating the 'Kovar Sound'. I hope not. Because years ago, when I worked briefly with Mr. LaFontaine, he said, 'Kid, you have a great voice. You can do it.

What began Wednesday as a day for the prosecution to solidify what it had described as an irrefutable case of premeditated murder against...
PRETORIA, South Africa — What began Wednesday as a day for the prosecution to solidify what it had described as an irrefutable case of premeditated murder against Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic champion, turned into a near-rout by the defense, which attacked the testimony of the state's main witness, the chief police investigator.
It was the second full day of a hearing to decide whether Pistorius, the double amputee nicknamed Blade Runner who made Olympic history by running with able-bodied athletes in the 2012 Games in London, should be given bail as he awaits trial for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, early last Thursday. Pistorius claimed in an affidavit read in court Tuesday that he had mistaken Steenkamp for a burglar and had shot her out of fear.
But what was supposed to be merely a bail hearing took on the proportions of a full-blown trial, with sharp questions from the presiding magistrate, Desmond Nair, and a withering cross-examination that left the prosecution's main witness, Detective Hilton Botha, grasping for answers.
Also, South African police say Botha faces attempted murder charges in an October 2011 shooting. (Police Brig. Neville Malila said Thursday that Botha is scheduled to appear in court in May on seven counts of attempted murder. Malila says Botha and two other police officers fired shots while trying to stop a minivan in the incident.)

At first, Botha's testimony seemed to go well. He explained how preliminary ballistic evidence supported the prosecution's assertion that Pistorius had been wearing prosthetic legs when he shot at the bathroom door, behind which hid Steenkamp. Pistorius claimed in his affidavit that he had hobbled over from his bedroom on his stumps, and felt extremely vulnerable to an intruder as a result.
As Botha described how bullets had pierced Steenkamp's skull and shattered her arm and hip bones, Pistorius sobbed with his head in his hands.
"A defenseless woman, unarmed, was gunned down," Botha said.
Using a schematic diagram of the bedroom, the prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, asked Botha to walk Nair through the crime scene. The detective explained that Steenkamp's slippers and overnight bag were on the left side of the bed, next to the sliding balcony door that Pistorius claimed he got up in the middle of the night to close. He also said the holster of Pistorius' 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, next to where Steenkamp would have been sleeping. That called into question Pistorius' statement that he thought Steenkamp was still in bed when he heard the sound of a burglar, the detective said.
Botha said investigators had found two boxes of testosterone along with syringes and needles in Pistorius' bedroom. Testosterone is a banned substance for most professional athletes, and is known to increase aggression in people who take supplements of it.
Asked by Nel what he would have done had he suspected that an intruder was in his bedroom, Botha replied, "I would get my girlfriend and try to get her out of the room."

For the record, I am not a hypochondriac.
I have visited almost 80 countries around the world in the last 30 years. I have gotten sick in only a few countries. (The only thing that I am afraid of is appendicitis on an African safari.)
So I have been thinking about how treatment is provided and paid for in other countries around the world and what the impact of health care reform might be on our day-to-day lives here in America.
As many of you know a visit to an emergency room in this country -- for something as common as a cold -- could cost the same as a week's vacation in Bora Bora. Many Americans don't ever go to Tahiti, but they do visit their local emergency room at least a couple of times in their life. And the wait? Could be as long as a flight to another continent.
Let's start in the beautiful pink city of Jaipur, India. After dining at a five star hotel (not one recommended by my guide but I had insisted on going as friends had gotten married there) I had the worst case imaginable of Delhi Belly. My stomach became an earthquake.
After a long day and night visiting the John instead of the city's palaces, we decided to call for help. The doctor arrived, accompanied by an assistant who carried his bag.
One of our travel companions was the first to be treated -- an IV for dehydration.
The curious thing here was that the assistant served as the IV pole for over two hours. During this time, and quite possibly for the first time in his life, his eyes were glued to the beautiful women on MTV. When the treatment was finished, we asked for the bill.
He politely asked his assistant to step outside. The price came to $25.00 per person, including a 5 day prescription for Cipro. Later I found out why the doctor asked his assistant to leave the room. Cheap though it may sound, in India I should not have been charged more than $10 for his services, medicine included. My first experience with Cipro in the US was during the anthrax scare in 2001. The only place I could find to fill prescriptions for my family was a small pharmacy in Malibu, California. They sent me two bottles of 30 pills. Total cost? $800....
Now lets move on to Laos. While visiting I became extremely sick from a sinus infection, thanks to the farmers of Southern China. Apparently, during late March, or early April, it is customary to burn the rice fields in preparation for the new crops. This means that if you go outside any time of the day or night you may as well be sitting next to the Marlboro man. Or taking a ride with Cheech and Chong.
Next stop on my trip was Burma -- besides Zimbabwe, probably the worst place in the world to get sick. I started coughing blood. What to do? Call Aung San Suu Kyi for her doctor of choice? Not likely. Instead, the hotel recommended a member of a French team from SOS who informed me that the blood was coming from my nose and not my lungs. He proceeded to charge me $200 dollars, which amounts to roughly an annual Burmese salary.
Next was getting sick in my favorite city in the world; Bangkok, Thailand. The smoke got to me again but this time from the cars. I coughed so much during the night, first thing in the morning my wife went straight to the front desk to get her own room.
The concierge at the Peninsula recommended the BNH Hospital and my God what a good recommendation. If you ever have to get sick, this is the place. The first thing I noticed upon arrival was that the waiting areas were full of Barcelona chairs. Not 10 or 12, but a whole lobby. The doctor that saw me had graduated from medical school in the United Kingdom. First she ordered blood tests, followed by X-rays.The nurses looked straight out of a James Bond movie, or an HBO Real Sex episode.
While waiting for my results we had macchiatos at the espresso bar, which incidentally cost more than the 45 minute taxi from the hotel in Bangkok traffic. After a couple of hours, I was called back to the doctor. Good news. After consulting with a specialist and getting back my results, all I had was another sinus infection. I was sent to a window to pay and get my medicine. In the US, in a hospital such as this, it would have cost me $6,000 to $ 8,000 if I was lucky. The bill was $ 125.00. Of course, the macchiato was extra.
After 10 days of a gastronomical tour through Spain, having had dinner at the famous El Bulli two nights before, my blood pressure went through the roof. I ended up taking a taxi to the emergency room of a hospital in Barcelona -- the same hospital where the King of Spain's granddaughters were born. A doctor took my blood pressure, asked me for my medical history, and about an hour later gave me her diagnosis. While waiting I called my doctor in the US. His recommendation was that I take a plane back as soon as possible and stick to a very light diet. The doctor in Spain came to the conclusion that since I had changed my normal eating habits by eating more salt, I didn't need to interrupt my vacation -- just eat less salt and relax. I continued that same morning on a tour to a winery. The price for the ER visit? $100.
While in Hamburg, Germany I asked the front desk if they knew of a good doctor. I was dehydrated from walking 8 hours a day, for 5 straight days in the middle of the Parisian summer. Next thing I know, I have two men in fire suits, brandishing a stretcher and knocking at my door.
While covering the 2006 World Cup in Germany and playing soccer with colleagues from Univision, I was hit by another player and injured. The pain was so persistent that by the second day I could hardly walk. I went to the clinic at the press center. A German doctor who examined me came to the conclusion that I had the same injury as the forward from Croatia. I needed to be off my feet for a couple of days and wrap my thigh with an ice bandage. Of course I asked him if he was going to do an MRI. His answer: "do you think we are in the US?" I have been doing this for 30 years and I don't need a machine to tell me what is wrong with you. I see this every day. You know what? He was right.
Last, but not least, the perfect vacation, only 35 minutes by plane from Miami. It's better in the Bahamas. My daughter wanted to visit the pools and water parks of The Atlantis -- a mega resort whose pools probably hold more water than Niagara Falls.
Half an hour after arriving I ended up floating on an inner tube along the lazy river. Moments later, I was going up a conveyer belt like those at the airport. Next thing I know, a lifeguard is helping me out of the pool -- blood everywhere. I can't even walk. I feel paralyzed. They put a neck brace on me and tell me to take a cab to the local hospital. Once there, I was told I would not receive any treatment unless I paid $1000 dollars in advance. After many negotiations the hotel finally agreed to pay for the hospital, and some complimentary room service.
One of the lessons learnt from my travels is that in the majority of countries, an emergency room is just that, for an "emergency." In this country if you go to the emergency room, you may wait not only hours, but even a day or two in some instances, to see an actual doctor. Why? Because these rooms are full of patients who don't have insurance and go to them as a last resort. If you don't want to wait, you better be a big donor, or a personal friend.
All I can tell you is that I would not change my doctors in Miami for of any of those that have treated me around the world. I can't say the same for the nurses, especially those in Bangkok.

Something big is happening on Wall Street that is making investment bankers richer. It is also supposed to signal better times ahead for the rest of the country.
A boom in mergers and acquisitions is taking place, and the stampede is expected to continue even after two headline-grabbing deals Rupert Murdochs bid for Time Warner and Sprints attempt to buy T-Mobile crumbled this week. A sharp upturn in deal activity is often thought to herald a stronger economy and a buoyant stock market. The theory: Corporate chieftains see strength building in their business lines, which gives them the confidence to pursue ambitious acquisitions of other companies.
The corporate sector has been kind of out of it in creating any sort of growth, Savita Subramanian, an equities strategist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said. So maybe this is the first salvo in a corporate-spending-driven economic recovery.
So far this year, $2.2 trillion in deals has been announced globally, according to data from Thomson Reuters. That total represents a 67% increase from the same period last year, and it is setting up 2014 to be a robust year for deal makers.
While the surge creates a hefty payday for investment bankers, it is also one more piece of data along with figures showing job growth that suggest the American economy is poised to accelerate out of the doldrums that followed the financial crisis of 2008.
Theres less talk of a double-dip recession or systemic failure, Chris Ventresca, a global co-head of mergers and acquisitions for JPMorgan Chase, said. So an M&A deal feels much less risky than it did until quite recently.
But to some on Wall Street, the deal-making may not in fact be an indicator of golden years ahead. Optimism about economic growth may not be the sole driver of the boom in acquisitions, they assert. Instead, some chief executives may have come to view takeovers as the only way to obtain big increases in revenue in a still lackluster economy. If the deals then disappoint, the economy could also suffer.
And on Wall Street, a desire to strike while the iron is hot always plays a role in any boom. In this case, companies may be forging a lot more deals because the debt used to help finance many of the transactions could soon cost more, particularly if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates next year.
M&A waves always start happening when

AUSTIN, Texas - The Washington State University women's swim team finished the first day of the USA Swimming Austin Grand Prix, Friday. The Cougar swimmers faced their stiffest competition of the year, as the meet contained a mix of collegiate, professional and Olympic-level swimmers.
The WSU 400 freestyle relay team of Rugile Mileisyte, Talor Whitaker, Evelina Bieleckaite and Jennifer Dean took third place in the final event of the day. The foursome touched the wall in 3:54.86, less than a second behind the second-place finishers.
Whitaker was one of three Cougars to compete in the finals session as an individual during the opening day. The senior from Chesterton, Ind., was seeded 29th in the 100 butterfly but finished 13th during the preliminary session, qualifying for the "B" final. During the evening swim, Whitaker was more than a second faster than her preliminary time, winning the heat in 1:02.59 and taking ninth place overall.
Jessie Craig and Taylor Indahl were the other two student-athletes to take part in the finals session, Friday evening. The pair qualified for the "D" final of the 100 breaststroke, where they finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Competition will resume tomorrow with the prelims beginning 9:30 a.m., followed by the finals at 5:30 p.m. local time. For more information on the meet, including full results, click HERE.

Television | Censorship isn't the only issue raised by Emmy winners' rants
The most surprising moment at the 2007 Emmy Awards came not from an envelope containing the name of a winner but from a speech viewers at home never heard. While accepting a Best Actress award for her show Brothers and Sisters, Sally Field made an obscenity-laced anti-war outburst, prompting Fox to cut away until she left the stage.
This middling controversy followed a more serious one from earlier in the week when the E! Entertainment Channel wisely decided to omit parts of Kathy Griffin's speech at the Creative Arts Emmys. After winning Best Reality Program for My Life on the D-List, the comedienne shouted out an obscenity to Jesus and exclaimed, "This award is my god now." Not surprisingly, news about this year's ceremonies subsequently focused on censorship rather than on the actual winners.
Whether FCC rules compel the networks to censor such outbursts is one question, but a more interesting one is why these actors don't have the good manners to censor themselves. While most industries are populated with people from both the left and right, Christians and atheists, rarely do they use professional gatherings as an opportunity to harangue one another about politics or insult each other's religions.
Why? Because most of us were taught that it is boorish to make everyone uncomfortable in a social situation. And because most people recognize that stirring up rancor at events designed to celebrate many is a bit selfish. Were Field's comments fair to the winners who came after her, whose victories were overshadowed by her haymaking? How many in the audience were tuned in enough after Griffin's jarring statements to give other writers, technicians, and directors their due?
Probably not many. And that's too bad for the behind-the-scenes professionals who earned their moments in the spotlight as much if not more than those big personalities who rudely rule the red carpet.

Gas station attendant says he was targeted by drunk Jewish youths because he is Arab
Noam (Dabul) Dvir
Published: 09.09.12, 08:09 / Israel News
Noam (Dabul) Dvir
A wave of racist assaults appears to be sweeping the capital, according to recent reports. A day after an Arab employee of the Mamilla Hotel was assaulted
by a group of Jewish teens who broke his leg, a gas station attendant claims to have also been attacked for racist reasons.
Nassim Abu Ramuz, 21, from Ras al-Amud, said he was attacked by Jewish youths who entered the station to fuel up around 1 am on Friday. According to Abu Ramuz, having noticed that the customers' car was not facing the pump, he asked the driver to turn his vehicle.
Related articles:
"He said he was high and couldn't be bothered. I was left standing there when suddenly one of the guys sitting in the back threw an empty beer bottle at the water bucket," Abu Ramuz said.
The youth verbally attacked attendant when he told him the bucket was not a trash can. "He said to me, 'don't talk to me, this isn't any of your business you stinky Arab,'" he recounted. "I took a step back when one of the guys spilled beer over the gas pump. When I asked him what he was doing, he attacked me again. He started swearing me and saying 'I'll kill you and all the Arabs."
Scared to return to work. Abu Ramuz
At this point, the youth stepped out of the vehicle, and feeling threatened, Abu Ramuz rushed to the office to press the emergency button. "The alarm went off and he started punching me. Instead of pushing him back, his friends attacked me too. I fell to the floor and the four of them beat me."
According to Abu Ramuz, employees of a nearby Pizza place noticed what was happening and came to his rescue. "When they (the assailants) left the station, one of them threw a beer bottle at me," he said.
The assailants had fled the scene by the time the police arrived, but Abu Ramuz noted that the security cameras had likely captured the assault. The Jerusalem District Police said they were aware of the case and that it will be investigated once a complaint is filed.
Abu Ramuz spent the night at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center. He is complaining of severe back pain and headaches, and is afraid of going back to work.
"I've worked at the gas station for three years and this is the second time I have been assaulted, in my opinion just because I'm an Arab. It's a combination of alcohol and hatred of Arabs."

Joanna Chopp is Archivist at Finnish American Historical Archive
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Finnish American Historical Archive and Museum is pleased to welcome archivist Joanna Chopp.
Chopp's work is to preserve and maintain the collections of the archive and museum, which include historical and cultural records, artifacts, and original artwork.
"Another large part of my job is helping patrons access this collection, from genealogists, students, and faculty to tourists and visiting dignitaries," Chopp explains. "I hope that another piece of what I do here will be expanding community outreach, letting more people know what the archive has to offer, how to use it, and what a valuable asset it is to the area."
She says she is also looking forward to becoming involved in the many Finnish-American activities in Hancock and the U.P., including FinnFest USA 2013 and the activities of the City of Hancock's Finnish Theme Committee.
Chopp has a bachelor of science in history and English from Northern Michigan University, Marquette. She is working to complete a master's of library and information science (MLS), with a concentration in archival studies, through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
She and her family recently returned to Michigan's Upper Peninsula from Ladysmith, Wis., where for seven years she taught history, English, and literature at Ladysmith High School. Both she and her husband, Jeremy Chopp, were born and raised in the U.P. They have two daughters, Miina, who is three, and seven-month-old Amelia. They live in Toivola.
"All of our extended family is here, and our ancestors were loggers, farmers, and miners (like most native Yoopers)," Chopp notes. "We're so very happy to be able to come back to the Copper Country!"
Contact Joanna Chopp at 906-487-7347 or email@example.com, or visit the archive on the lower level of the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock.

"One of the most unusual LEGO builds, ever." "Awesome." We agree that the Galaxy Squad line has some of the most creative builds this year. The Hive Crawler, in particular, has interesting moving legs that make a great sound as it moves. The minifig in the front opening cockpit reminds us of the bad guys from Independence Day. The Crawler has an egg launcher and two hatching eggs. The build also comes with a smaller speedster and hero.

...what would happen if Alabama kicks the crap out of Florida in the SEC Championship game. Say, like 50-3. I know it wouldn't affect the BCS Title Game but everyone already has the SEC title game loser in the Sugar Bowl. Why would a 2 loss Florida team (with a home loss to Ole Miss and a blowout loss in SEC title game) be a an automatic for the Sugar?

i think thats because most everyone doesnt think that will happen. florida is playing great ball right now. bama is doing their weekly business but not really turning too many heads in the process.
Alabama has a surprisingly weak schedule, if you look at it. The SEC isn't the monster it started out the season as, and Florida will be by far the biggest test for Alabama.
Aug 30 @Clemson Won 34-10 - Bowl eligible, but just barely. Fired their coach.
Sep 6 Tulane Won 20-6 - 2-10 in CUSA
Sep 13 W. Kentucky Won 41-7 - New addition to 1A, 2-9 this year
Sep 20 @Arkansas Won 49-14 - 5-7, destroyed by Texas
Sep 27 @Georgia Won 41-30 - Good win, but Georgia was very overrated to start the year.
Oct 4 Kentucky Won 17-14 - Almost lost this one, 6 wins, 2 in conference
Oct 18 Mississippi Won 24-20 - One of the better wins on the schedule..ole Miss is 8-4
Oct 25 @Tennessee Won 29-9 - Bad bad Tennessee team this year - fired their coach
Nov 1 Arkansas St. Won 35-0 - 6-5 in the Sun Belt
Nov 8 @LSU Won 27-21 - LSU is down this year. 5 losses on the season, should have been 6
Nov 15 Mississippi St. Won 32-7 - Fired their coach. Bad this year
Nov 29 Auburn Won 36-0 - Might fire their coach after 5-7 this year.
Weakest undefeated team to come out of the SEC in a LONG time. Florida, I think, will pound them.

Because it's Florida.
When it comes down to it, this is how it's going to fall out:
6 Auto Qualifiers:
SEC: Alabama-Florida winner
Big XII: Oklahoma-Missouri winner
Big 10: Penn St
Pac 10: USC/Oregon St (depending on outcome of USC-UCLA)
Big East: Cincinnati
ACC: Boston College-Virginia Tech winner
Utah also "auto qualifies".
That leaves 3 spots open among these following teams:
Alabama-Florida loser
Texas/Oklahoma (if Oklahoma loses to Missouri)
USC (if USC loses to UCLA)
Boise St
Ohio St
The BCS isn't going to have to look outside the BCS top 10 to find qualifiers, so those are the only teams that will be considered. Assuming USC beats the snot out UCLA on Saturday, and, in your scenario, Florida loses:
Texas/Oklahoma is going to get one of those spots almost regardless.
Are you REALLY trying to tell me that Florida won't be selected for one of two spots against a field including Ohio State or Boise State? Or, for the sake of argument, USC loses (and they'll get an at large almost regardless) - do you really think Florida won't be selected for the final spot against those two same teams, even if they get blown out against Alabama, especially when their BCS ranking will still likely be higher than either of those two Sunday evening?

Fact sheet
"Natural Gas and LP_Gas Home Structure Fires" fact sheet (PDF, 61 KB)
Contact us
If you have any questions, e-mail Nancy Schwartz or call +1 617 984-7450.
An analysis of structure fires in homes in which type of material first ignited was either natural gas or LP-gas, during 2003-2007. Fires are examined by time, day, and month, as well as leading causes, factors contributing to ignition, and extent of flame damage.
Natural gas was the type of material first ignited in an estimated annual average of 2,110 structure fires in homes per year in 2003-2007.
In 2007, 64.9 million U.S. households used natural gas. During 2003-2007, an estimated 2,110 home structure fires started annually with the ignition of natural gas. These fires resulted in an annual average of 43 civilian fire deaths, 152 civilian fire injuries, and $59 million in direct property damage during the same time period. Explosions with no after-fire are not included. Table A provides a breakdown of losses by incident type, non-confined and confined fires.
In natural gas home fires, structure fires were the most common incident type. Structure fires accounted for 69% of the fires in or on home properties that began with natural gas. Ninety-nine percent of all natural gas home fire civilian deaths reported during this time period occurred in structure fires.Ninety percent of civilian fire injuries in homes occurred in structure fires as do ninety-seven percent of direct property damage.

Visit Fresh Teens
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
There are tons of teen pornstars on the Internet and they all need to get their start somewhere. That's where sites like Fresh Teens come in. The website gives naughty amateurs a place where they can suck cock and fuck on film for, quite possibly, the very first time.
There are currently 13 full-length movies and 29 sets of photos to be found on the FreshTeens site and that's exactly as many vids and pic sets as there were on the website the last time we visited it. That was a while back, so I guess it's safe to say that updating has stopped.
The site's videos feature a nice mix of hardcore and softcore teen action and while they showcase cuties that are beautiful to behold, the flicks themselves aren't much to look at. They can be streamed or downloaded in Windows Media and QuickTime formats and they all offer poor-quality playback.
Now, as for the site's photo sets, the contain softcore pics that vary quite a bit in quality. The vast majority of them aren't high-res, but some of them most definitely are. Unfortunately, none of the pictorials can be saved as Zip files, so if you want to save an entire picture gallery, it has to be done one image at a time.
It won't take anyone too long to make it through the main content, but luckily there's a ton of bonus content to check out. Members get access to a whole lot of bonus sites and a bunch of them feature HD movies. Those interested in teen-themed content will want to take a look at sites like Just Legal Babes and Sex Toy Teens.
In spite of the fact that there are some really cute babes on Fresh Teens, there are hundreds of better teen sites out there. As such, this site isn't really worth joining on its own, but since there's a heck of a lot more teen action to be seen on the bonus sites, a membership might be worth investing in all the same.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
L. D. Haskew, the man considered the "Dean of Texas Education," died February 17, 1991, after a brief illness. Funeral services for The University of Texas professor emeritus of educational administration were held in Austin on February 20, 1991, at University United Methodist Church.
In a distinguished career that spanned more than five decades, Haskew was hailed as mentor, prophet, and friend of the Texas public school system. Soon after moving to Austin to take the job as dean of the College of Education in 1947, he authored the historic and far-reaching Gilmer-Akin Act, passed by the Texas Legislature in 1949. He was a prime mover in Texas education reform and one of public educations most eloquent spokesmen.
Haskew, who continued to be active until shortly before his death, insisted he was "retired only on payday." Superintendents, school board members, principals, supervisors, members of the legislature, state officials, the Texas Department of Education, classroom teachers, U.S. presidents, and virtually anyone or any group trying to improve education called on him at one time or another as advisor and consultant.
Besides serving as dean of the College of Education, Haskew also held the positions of vice president and vice chancellor of The University of Texas System. His leadership helped the University rise to a position of prominence among the nations institutions of higher learning.
As dean of the College of Education, he initiated and worked toward a complete restructuring of the undergraduate program. Under his direction, the College of Education began its emergence into national eminence as a center for graduate study.
As vice chancellor, Haskew godfathered the first computation center for the University, educational television that became KLRN/KLRU, and the first ten-year plan for upward expansion of The University of Texas. Even in this high office, he continued to be a teacher and advocate of education at all levels.
His abiding scholarly interest was in the preparation of administrators for schools and colleges and in the study of administration itself. He was the founder of The University of Texas Cooperative Superintendency Program, recognized as the outstanding program of its kind in the nation. Now in its thirteenth cycle and headed by the L. D. Haskew Centennial Professor for Public School Administration, Nolan Estes, the program prepares outstanding leaders and executives for public schools.
A key figure in education and political circles, Haskew found great satisfaction in building bridges between the grass roots and state level. He believed "if people understand the needs of education, they will provide the wherewithal to settle those needs."
In addition to his teaching and administrative duties, Haskew was always in demand as a speaker throughout the country. His publications include over a hundred periodical articles and chapters, several monographs, and books. Among his best known writings are This is Teaching and Renewal of the Administration for American Schools.
Haskew founded The University of Texas One Week Work Conferences for School Leaders, which for years were seedbeds out of which sprouted an effective state system of education. He cofounded the Conference on Teacher Education which translated the new certification code into improved practices by colleges and universities. He was instrumental in ushering in a new era for the Texas Association of School Boards, helped start the Texas Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and was an active worker and staunch supporter of the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers.
His influence in education continued to be felt during the '80s. He played a key role in the education reform movement, which led to the revamping of the Texas public school system. In 1984 he was named to head the search team which chose William Kirby as Commissioner of Education.
Tall and gangly, Haskew appeared a mix of Abraham Lincoln and Ichabod Crane. A southern accent touched of his Alabama and Georgia roots. Haskew was born on October 4, 1907, in Perote, Alabama, the son of a Methodist minister. He attended public schools in Tuskegee and Montgomery, Alabama, and then went on to earn a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from Emory University, a Master of Arts from the University of Chicago, and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Georgia.
Before coming to Texas, Haskew served in the Georgia public schools as an athletic coach, high school principal, city school superintendent, and country school superintendent. In higher education he was professor and director of teacher education at Emory University and Agnes Scott College. He was also a visiting professor at New York University, Stanford University, the University of Georgia, and Teachers College, Columbia University.
Haskew was instrumental in founding two prominent national associations in his field of studythe National Council of Professors of Educational Administration and the University Council for Educational Administration. The National Council dedicated its 30-year history to Professor Haskew. During his notable career, Haskew also served in key advisory roles to six presidents of the United States, from Roosevelt to Kennedy. His commitment to education resulted in 47 national recognitions for outstanding service and achievement.
Shortly before his retirement, The University of Texas at Austin Graduate School honored Haskew with its prized graduate teaching award. On his retirement, an endowed professorship was established in his name by citizens of the state of Texas, school leaders, faculty, and colleagues.
Haskew was also recognized for his work as civic leader and humanitarian. His involvement spanned the realm of community, public, and religious service. In 1980 he received the Most Worthy Citizen Award from the Austin Board of Realtors. He was a campaign director and president of the Austin United Fund, member of the board of directors of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, president of the Austin Council on Alcoholism, Austin Council of Churches, and Community Council of Austin. He was a lay leader and Sunday school teacher in the Methodist church.
The former high school coach was also a rabid football fan.
L. D. Haskew was modest about his achievements. Not one to sing his own praises, others were more than willing to do that for him. A newspaper reporter once called him "[a] newsmans dream. He will always say something quotablealways have a new and surprising idea which seems just right." Another admirer called him "a universal man, a man of integrity and honor, a man of humor and great compassion."
For Texas education, probably no single person has wielded so much influence or been a greater friend.
Haskew is survived by his son, Lawrence D. Haskew, Jr., of Plano, Texas; his grandchildren, DeFae Haskew Weaver of Plano, Dave Lawrence Haskew of Dallas, Pierce Lang Lowrey III of Atlanta, Georgia, and Jennifer Lowrey Blencowe of Columbia, South Carolina; and three great-grandchildren.
Larry R. Faulkner, President
The University of Texas at Austin
John R. Durbin, Secretary
The General Faculty
This memorial resolution was prepared by Professors Nolan Estes (chair), Kenneth E. McIntyre (who contributed material about Professor Haskew before his death in 1996), and Michael P. Thomas.

|Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska surpasses 100,000 packaged meals
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 22 February 2013 18:26
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska volunteers are celebrating a new milestone this week.
Last weekend was a flurry of activity at Mercy Meals in Wauneta when 35 volunteers in two shifts packaged 15,600 meals, bringing the organization's total number of packaged meals to 109,200.
This milestone was reached exactly five months after volunteers packaged the first meals at the Wauneta site on Sept. 16, 2012.
The food packaged at Mercy Meals is sent on to people in need both domestically and throughout the world. The meals are shipped free of charge via the Orphan Grain Train.
Organization leaders urged volunteers to give their time last Saturday, Feb. 16 in order to make room for a new shipment of food products and supplies that arrived on Monday.
Monday's shipment included enough food to package another 70,000 meals. It consisted of six pallets of soy and rice as well as loose boxes of chicken flavoring and dried vegetables.
The meals packaged by Mercy Meals' volunteers are highly nutritious and carry a cost of only $0.10 per serving–which includes food and packaging materials.
Monday afternoon while some volunteers were outside rearranging the storage unit and unloading the new shipment from the Orphan Grain Train truck, others were inside getting ready for the next round of packaging.
Each package includes enough food for six people and has an attached sticker identifying where the meal was packaged, a packaged date and expiration date. Meals are packaged into bags which each hold six servings.
Jackie McBride, Ila Foley and Elaine Haarberg worked inside putting identifying stickers on empty bags, making them ready to fill with meals.
Mercy Meals sent its last shipment of packaged meals in December 2012. The shipment in December was sent to the Philippines.
The organization is awaiting a date for the next outgoing shipment of packaged meals.
Those interested in signing up to help package the new shipment of food can sign up via the organization's website at www.mercymealsofsouthwestnebraska.com or by calling Janet Keiser at 308-394-5191, Kent or Elaine Haarberg at 308-394-5771 or Mary Haarberg at 308-883-6761.
Financial donations can be sent to Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska, P.O. Box 474, Wauneta, NE 69045.
Volunteers of all ages are welcomed at Mercy Meals. Here (clockwise from top left) Tyler, Bo and Ella O'Neil take a break from loading the storage unit with new supplies when the organization received a new shipment from Orphan Grain Train on Monday.

Community's Jim Rash And Gillian Jacobs Do Their Best SNL Promo Impression
By Alicia Lutes 2 years ago comments
With the impending arrival of the fifth season of Community, the cast members and NBC have pulled out many of the Internet stops to ensure fans return to Greendale with aplomb. And that also includes Dean Pelton himself, Jim Rash, who alongside Britta (Gillian Jacobs) has taken the Saturday Night Live route of promotion while seemingly standing around the halls of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Considering how excited we all are about the episode dubbed Repilot, I think its safe to say the Darkest Timeline is finally behind us, you guys.
Taking to Vine via Twitter, the actor and writer poked fun at himself, the series, and NBC alongside costar Jacobs, who does the majority of the comedic heavy lifting in the clips. Starting out with introductions, Jacobs then declares were co-hosting an hour of Community tonight on NBC. The back-and-forth quips continue, with Rash complimenting Jacobs work before she quizzically asks, Who are you? Dean Pelton responds with a tempered, Ah, in my face.
The second video is the real kicker, though: revealing that it was perhaps Rashs fault that NBC misidentified the series hometown Greendale in a recent website snafu that dubbed them inhabitants of Greenville, as evidenced by his speedy departure at the end of the clip.
Go Greenville, he proclaims before a shocked Jacobs asserts, Greendale! causing Rash to run what we can only assume is the general direction of NBCs digital team to right the wrong. Leading us to believe that maybe just maybe the mistake was actually just a bit of digital marketing disguised as NBCs disinterest and lack of support for the series, something that has often been poked fun at by the show itself (alongside everything else the series mocks on the regular). Especially when you consider the fact that the dale in Greendale is clearly visible in the picture:
Whatever the reason behind it, one thing remains certain: Community is back and weve never been more ready for it to reclaim its former glory. Dont do this to us ever again, NBC.
Community returns at long last! And now with more Dan Harmon, huzzah! to NBC Thursday, January 2nd at 8PM with two back-to-back episodes.

By Scott Allen, USA TODAY High School Sports
A troubled season came to an abrupt end for the Ridgeway (Memphis, Tenn.) boys basketball team after the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association disqualified the Roadrunners from the state tournament for using an ineligible player. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal reports that the school was notified of the decision on Thursday, the same day Ridgeway was scheduled to play for the Region 8-AAA championship.
The player in question, a transfer student from Louisiana, earned his General Equivalency Diploma from Shreveport Job Corps, according to the Commercial-Appeal. That makes him ineligible to compete at the high school level.
WREG 3 Memphis reports that the ineligible player was a 22-year-old man who used a fake transcript to enroll at the school.
"There was a 22-year old who falsified his documents and they got disqualified from everything and a lot of players getting scouted got screwed over," Ridgeway student Carlos Delgado told the station.
The disqualification is the latest blow to a Ridgeway program that has dealt with its fair share of adversity and hardship this season. Last week, a Ridgeway assistant coach was shot dead in his home. The week before that, 10 players were suspended for two games for their part in a fight during the regular season finale.

I might be stupid, but I really can't understand why do people hate VR! A man who gave so much to MotoGP, on and off the track, a man who IS MotoGP! A fair fighter, a good fighter, who brought excitement with his overtakings after poor qualifications (remember that!?)... It was a Honda because he was the best, right? And when he jumped ship to underdog, that Yamaha definitely was, what was then? His only mistake was Du cazzi, 2 wasted years, that definitely might have made him pass Ago in statistics.
Please, please get off his back!
PS: Can't bloody wait for the lights to go off!
