The motherboard or mainboard is the component that connects all the different parts of your computer. Often it has some integrated components like a sound card, enabling your computer to play sound, or a network card, to connect your computer to the network. The standard form factor (size) for motherboards is ATX, you need at least a midi-tower to fit one of those in. Micro-ATX motherboards are often more complete and have more onboard devices, like a video board and fit in smaller cases, but are generally less expandable.

Crane Operator Salary
Male Crane Operators number significantly more than their female counterparts, and average earnings in this role come out to $24.49 per hour in the United States. Final cash compensation to Crane Operators varies from around $34K to approximately $98K; choice pay grades include potential for bonuses and profit sharing as high as $10K and $6K, respectively. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is geographic location, followed by the company and tenure. Unfortunately, some people in this line of work are without benefits — just under one in four lack coverage. On the flip side, a fair number have medical insurance and slightly more than half receive dental plans. Most Crane Operators report high levels of job satisfaction. Figures cited in this summary are based on replies to PayScale's salary questionnaire.
Job Description for Crane Operator
A crane operator uses a crane to lift and move equipment and/or materials around a job site. In addition to the responsibilities associated with the operation of the crane, they must also perform inspections of the equipment before and after its use to ensure it is in working order.

Gram Negative Staph
Staphylococcus infections (or "staph infections" for short) are caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. This group of bacteria has gained a lot of interest in the past several years because of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA for short), a strain of staph that is more difficult to treat because it is impervious to the effects of certain antibiotics.
Staph bacteria are commonly found on the skin, in the nose, and within the mucous membranes of healthy people (some people believe that staph bacteria are gram-negative, but they are actually gram-positive bacteria). Most of the time, the bacteria do not cause infections. When they do, they most commonly affect the skin. These skin infections may appear as pimples, pustules, boils, or spider bites. The affected skin is often red, swollen, painful, and can have pus or other drainage.
(To learn more about these gram-positive bacteria, click Staph Infection Causes. This article takes a closer look at the many different types of staph bacteria, including MRSA.)

In the two days that Rachel had to gather donated clothing before the event, New York was experiencing a blizzard, which had an effect on the amount of options she received. When Naomi saw the selection, she was not pleased, and didn't hide it. At one point, she was wielding two cellphones, and Rachel and Brad looked like they were going to shit themselves (literally).

Most listings are in the $10's per square foot per year. The Palmer region is going through a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $11 per sqft per year. That's a 40% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 2 listings have been listed, which means spaces are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 700 sqft. Most buildings in this region were built in 1989 and are Class B.

Yo, what up race cars and race debaters! Howard Kremer is in studio today to help us answer if a Farmers Market sign that reads "Wild Food For Urban People" is racist. We also discuss the use of the word urban in mainstream media. Ask us a question by calling 323-389-7223 just don't be racist about it.

I'm from 317; that's central Indiana. So, my guess is that it's probably racist.

I don't know, I think people are mixing up their racism types here. Racists in Indiana and Kentucky are redneck racists, but the kind of racists who use "urban" to mean black are upper-class paternalistic racists. So I don't think the location makes it more likely for the sign to be racist in this case.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 11:47 AM
It seems pretty likely to me that all this sign was saying is that "People who live in the city have no access to wild fruit, so I will sell it to you!" Just because the dude lives in southern Indiana does not mean he's the type of guy who would say "urban" instead of "black". Unless of course, the farmer was somehow marketing his fruit to black patrons... then it would be racist. I hope Andrew realizes that "needs more context" is as acceptable an answer as "yes" and "no".

The Bmw 3-Series Sedan appears to be a benchmark on the market as Cadillac made its own model, the ATS, and Hyundai also wants a model just like that. According to Automotive News, Hyundai is preparing to build a performance-oriented small sedan, which will use the same rwd platform seen on the Genesis sedan and coupe models.
Regarding its looks, the design will be closer to the Genesis Coupe's look. Still, don't expect to see this car too soon, as the Korean manufacturer said that the new sedan will hit the showrooms in 2015. Of course, this is not a new plan as the vehicle has been in Hyundai's pipeline since 2006. "The Genesis Coupe is in the same segment, really, as the 3-series coupe," Hyundai CEO John Krafcik said. "One of the things we're thinking is: Should we do something that's a sedan version of that?"

Privatisation has gone full circle and the contradictions and messy compromises that characterised the gas sell-off have come home to roost with a vengeance. The idea of breaking up British Gas is nothing new. It was explored at length in Whitehall during the run up to privatisation. In the end, however, deregulation and commercialisation of the gas market was put a poor second to the Government's main priorities of maximising proceeds and persuading as many people as possible to join Britain's new share owning democracy. By happy coincidence these no doubt laudable aims dovetailed neatly with Denis Rooke's determination to preserve his empire intact in its transition from public to private sector.
As it is, British Gas has served Sid extremely poorly. Only in part is that the company's fault. Its executives have fought long and hard to preserve the 25-year monopoly that the privatisation prospectus promised. But the demands of the consumer, the market place and the regulator have come to take first place. Yesterday's demerger proposal, and the symbolic ousting of the last of the old guard, Cedric Brown, is a final recognition of reality and the inevitable.
The problem is that having dithered and procrastinated for so long - the Monopolies and Mergers Commission demanded the divestment as long ago as 1993 - British Gas may have left it too late to make the plan work. Last night there were growing doubts, for it is by no means clear that the demerger of domestic and industrial gas supply will indeed achieve its purpose of lancing the boil of the long term North Sea gas contracts. Even after the sweetener of the Morecambe Bay gas field, British Gas Energy will have net assets of only pounds 2.6bn. This is a mere drop in the ocean of the pounds 40bn worth of obligations attached to these long term contractual horrors. While the actual cost of the gas bubble to the new company will obviously be a good deal lower than this, it could easily prove to be substantially in excess of the company's assets.
The point is that at this stage nobody knows. Everything is guesswork. In these circumstances it would be practically impossible to float the new company on the stock market without a guarantee of solvency from the much larger pipeline company. That in turn would defeat much of the purpose of the exercise - to ring-fence British Gas's dividend powerhouse, Transco, from the disastrous legacy of monopoly. Parliament too might have some difficulty with a company in any danger of failing in its statutory obligation to guarantee gas supply. Mr Giordano naturally disputes it but from the outside it looks as if even Equitas (the company Lloyd's is using as a wastebin for all its old liabilities) would stand a better chance of floating on the stock market.
Mr Giordano's problems, or those of his long suffering shareholders, are by no means over. As for privatisation and poor old Sid, we are perhaps witnessing the end of an error (sic).
The OFT chooses the wrong target
In any vigorous debate there is always a danger of over-reaction and choosing the wrong targets. That is precisely what seems to have happened at the Office of Fair Trading, which has decided to refer to the Restrictive Practices Court BSkyB's exclusive contract with the Premier League. The decision appears to have as much to do with politics as competition policy, as even John Bridgeman, the OFT's director-general, appeared to concede, when he admitted bringing ahead the announcement by one day to coincide with yesterday's debate in the House of Lords over the listing of national sporting events.
Just what does Mr Bridgeman hope to gain? Virtually all sporting organisations world-wide collectively negotiate core TV rights - even in the US, where anti-trust legislation is stronger than UK competition law. There may be some scope for watering down the exclusive clauses of the Premier League's own contract, which forbids any club from selling rights to other broadcasters on an individual basis. But this hardly need involve a fundamental review of sport's collective bargaining approach.
What Mr Bridgeman ought to do is to consider the wider competitive issues in pay-TV. BSkyB dominates subscription television; it has all the good films and sporting events, dominates encryption technology, and imposes often-onerous conditions on cable operators for the supply of programming. Every year, the price of a Sky subscription goes up. Good news for BSkyB's shareholders, but not for competition and consumer choice. Let's see what the competition authorities can do about this. Murdoch-bashing over sports contracts should be left to the politicians.
Squaring the circle on spending and taxation
In a speech yesterday at the London School of Economics, Kenneth Clarke did his best to quell the widespread perception that he is at odds with the Prime Minister. But his robust defence of the notion that Britain can have both modern public services and low taxes was as convincing as saying you can have your cake and eat it. It will do little to change the view that, when push comes to shove, Mr Clarke sees public spending as a higher priority than the tax cuts so treasured by Conservative Central Office.
His insistence that he has cracked the problem of the inexorable upward drift in public spending is also a trifle cute. As long as its growth is kept below that of national output, he argued, there is no limit to the fall that can be achieved in public spending as a proportion of GDP. The Chancellor expressed this view as if it was some blinding revelation. In fact it was the fallback position which Mrs Thatcher adopted in the 1980s after her vain attempts to cut spending in real terms. It's the usual cop-out: the magic carpet of growth will fly us into an eastern wonderland of low taxes.
After 17 years in office, in which general government expenditure (excluding privatisation proceeds) only fell below 40 per cent in two years, this is asking us to take too much on faith. But if Mr Clarke's attempt to square the circle is unconvincing, he is in good - or bad - company. Labour's prospectus, which rules out any new public spending commitment bar that financed by a windfall tax, is just as bogus. Don't tell the children but this is the sum of political debate between the two main parties on the crucial issue of public spending and taxation.

Noah's "birth" was a snap compared to all the rest. I am very thankful for that. I've had very little pain, for which I am SUPER grateful. He was 8 lb, 5 oz which is not big for my babies. He's taking to nursing like a pro. In my opinion, he looks very, very much like Ethan but with John's eyes and Josiah's cleft chin. He's also a lot more blond than the others. John was the most blond and they've gradually gotten darker all the way down to Josiah. Noah changed that pattern!
Since Noah's "birth story" isn't half as dramatic as Josiah's was, I guess that I feel like there's really nothing to share. I'm not being negative; there's just not really much to tell. I was unhappy to have been completely forbidden to leave my bed on day one. He was born at about 7:30 AM and by 2 AM the next day, I'd had enough. My nurse was okay with disconnecting me to my 88,000 tethers (miles of IV stuff, blood clot leg cuff thingys, etc) and I was very glad. After the last bit of morphine was out of my system, I got up and got a shower. After that, I felt like a new person!
For now, we're hoping to go home today, two days after Noah's birth. The children are dying to have mommy home again and I am dying to be home again. There is no rest in the hospital, that's to be sure!

Hi guys,
Tested the 880 and 990 32ohms and the T70p .The shop doesn't have the 250 or the 600 ohm variants.
Overall the 880 and 990 sounds pretty similar. The 880 sounds more neutral and detailed. The 990 bass is just there with a lot of oomph and presence and also sounds much fuller compare to the other 2.
The T70p to me is too bright but very detailed as compared to 880.
In this sense, the 990 is the one for me. But I'm scratching my head now if I were to get the 600 or 250 of the 990. I'm running on o2/odac .

Friday morning will start a new era on "Today," when Savannah Guthrie officially steps into the co-host role vacated by Ann Curry today, according to multiple reports.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that Guthrie will co-host the show alongside Matt Lauer, a role she has held before as Curry's substitute when she was away. But the site reports that there will be no formal announcement about Guthrie's role despite her elevation and the team will look to move forward quickly to get ready for the Summer Games.
However, TMZ writes that there will "likely" be a formal announcement the big switch during the Friday's show. The site writes that the reason for the rush is that Lauer is on vacation next week fand the network wants to announce his new co-host while he's still in town.

A smell reminiscent of San Diego County's agricultural past
Yuccas, orchid trees, and citrus in bloom
noon, March 25
continued Soon, Thompson was selling 80 papers a day and making "anywhere between $35 and $75 a day" in paper sales and tips. "I got a $100 tip at Christmastime once," he says. Combined with $803 a month in Social Security, Thompson was getting by, sometimes living in low-end hotels near San Diego City College, sometimes sleeping on the street. Then, "We got a notice from the drivers of the van that we had 30 days to start saving our money, because this program was going to end August 18. I worked my hardest to make money and save money. And when news got out that they were going to shut down the program, a lot of people wrote letters to the Union-Tribune telling them not to shut it down. Then Mark Freeman got on the bandwagon, and he's been a very strong advocate to keep this job going. He tried to get a 90-day window so we could renegotiate. But nobody seemed to be as interested as Mark Freeman."
According to Freeman, Upscale Sales made efforts to keep the program working. "Within the first couple of weeks," he says, "Upscale had prepared a flyer and asked the hawkers to ask their customers to indicate that the program was valuable to them by contacting the Union-Tribune. The Union-Tribune came back to Upscale and said, you have other contracts with us -- for example, they distribute the newspaper at the Del Mar Racetrack and at the Padres games -- and if you make any heat for us, we are going to take all of your contracts. So Upscale told their vendors that they couldn't do any more leafleting in support of the program. I went out myself and distributed some flyers Thursday [August 15] of the final week. The program was supposed to run through Sunday, August 18. But, on Friday, the Union-Tribune told Upscale that it was yanking the program, so the guys didn't have the opportunity to sell for the last two days. I think it was strictly in retaliation for me exercising my First Amendment right. The brunt of it, of course, fell on the vendors, so I felt terrible."
Thompson says he bears no hard feelings toward Freeman. "How could I?" he asks. "Mark Freeman has done a lot for me and the other hawkers out of the goodness of his own heart. He's been like an angel from the Lord."
Through Freeman's efforts, an article about Edmund was published in the Coast News in August. An administrator at the Seacrest Jewish retirement community in Encinitas read the article, contacted Freeman, and offered Edmund his current job washing dishes in the home's kitchen.
Though Thompson would have liked to keep his hawking job, he says he understands why the Union-Tribune shut the program down. Most of the other hawkers, he explains, weren't applying themselves the way he was. "Not hardly," he says. "See, the way it was, if you sold 40 papers or more, you had to live on what you made from those paper sales. If you sold less than 40 papers, then you got a subsidy check. It wasn't always like that. Originally, if you sold under 40 papers, you got $11 a day subsidy. If you sold over 40 papers, you got $7 a day. Then they said anybody who sells over 40 doesn't get a subsidy. So most of the new guys coming into the program, they figured, 'What the hell? Why should I worry about selling papers? I'll just sell a few, keep it under 40, and take my subsidy check at the end of the week.' But they were doing the Union-Tribune a disservice, they were doing me and the three or four other hawkers who were working hard a disservice, and they were doing Upscale Sales a disservice. They should have been out there selling the papers and raising the paper's sales so that the project would have been profitable."

This is actually not the case. In fact, many people set up two-way SSL with Verisign and nothing else, despite the fact that Verisign is designed only for trustnot for authentication or any other type of application access restriction, for that matter. In this how-to you will learn how to create a custom user name mapper class that maps various certificate attributes to a user in your security realm that you can then authenticate and use to restrict or allow access to your application. It will also cover how to configure your Oracle WebLogic application server to be used to authenticate the certificate passed to the server from the client to restrict client access to your application.

#2..ZODIAC TYPES in FICTION (Gone With the Wind, Little Women, Ally McBeal.)
I wonder how often authors of novels, or screen writers for film and television consider astrology, or more likely, simplified Sun Sign astrology, when describing characteristics of the individuals who bring to life their books and dramas? I've thought about this several times in the past - there are posts on this very topic relating to Gone With the Wind (HERE) and Little Women (HERE) with suggestions in the posts and in several comments beneath them as to astrological matches to characters in the novels.
Another instance of what I'll call ZIF (Zodiac in Fiction) came up for me recently. We're years late catching up with what used to be a hugely popular TV series in the USA from 1997 to 2002: Ally McBeal.
My husband, out on some errand by himself spotted a garage sale in the neighbourhood and came home clutching a big white box, still cellophane wrapped. It was the entire 5-season series of Ally McBeal on DVD, and he paid only $3 for it plus another, single DVD (can't even recall the film). Such sets cost a lot more than $3 on the net. We suspect this set might have been produced for the Chinese market, a clue: choice of subtitles = Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin - and English. We're almost to the end of Season 2 now, and greatly enjoying the series.
Ally McBeal was created and mostly written by David E. Kelley whose series are always A-grade (LA Law, Boston Legal, The Practice, Picket Fences, Harry's Law to name the best known).
More on Kelley, and his natal chart in an archived post HERE.
The Ally McBeal series had a super cast, good musical interludes with vocalist Vonda Shepard, well-written characters, humour, romance, whimsy, fantasy and frequently interesting courtroom dramas.
Ally McBeal, played by Calista Flockhart, and one of the senior partners of the law firm for which she works, John Cage, played by Peter MacNicol, share a birthday we were told in the course of Season 2. This revelation immediately had me surmising on a Sun sign for them. It had already become obvious the two had similar characteristics: a definite quirkiness, romantic awkwardness, mild eccentricity and frequent dips into whimsy, while both remained talented in their professional life as courtroom lawyers. A quick Google search sent me to a site where commenters were betting on Scorpio as Ally's likely Sun sign - mainly because it's Calista Flockhart's, who plays Ally. That could not possibly be correct, here's why.
Each season devotes an episode to Thanksgiving and an episode to Christmas, presumably to be screened during November and December. Characters are always muffled in scarves, gloves and hats for outdoor scenes, it's often snowing in Boston,where the series was set, in these episodes. In season 2, in an episode following fairly quickly after the Christmas one, there was a combined birthday celebration for Ally and John - so it could not possibly have taken place in Scorpio time. More likely, and I had already suspected, Ally and John, and their shared whimsy, fantasy, and eccentricities alongside otherwise very astute legal minds, must surely have Neptune/Pisces and/or Aquarius/Neptune/Pisces prominent, with likely some Capricorn in there too, strong link to the law.
It's all just fiction, of course. I doubt that David E. Kelley gives two hoots about astrology, though perhaps one of his assistants might have offered hints.
If any passing reader has an instance of ZIF, a pet fictional character or situation, from well-known novels, TV or films, with likely matching Sun Sign - do let me know !

The PA denies Jewish history in Jerusalem: The Jewish Temple is "the alleged Temple"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Aug. 11, 2011
The PA denies Jewish history in Jerusalem
The Jewish Temple is "the alleged Temple"
Examples from April - July 2011
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Earlier this week, on the Jewish day of mourning known as Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the anniversary of the destruction of the Temple, the official PA daily denied the Temple's existence, referring to it as "the destruction of the alleged Temple" and "the so-called destruction."
For years, Palestinian Authority leaders have actively denied Jewish history both in ancient Judea/Israel and in Jerusalem in particular. Palestinian Media Watch has
documented this ongoing PA policy
of historical revisionism, which centers on the denial that a Jewish Temple ever existed in Jerusalem. PA political and religious leaders, officials, and even academics consistently refer to the Temple as "the alleged Temple." [Arabic:
Al-Haikal Al-Maz'oom
The Palestinian claims that the Temple never existed and that Jews have no history in the Land of Israel not only contradict Jewish sources, Christian sources, and the archeological record, but contradict the Quran as well. The Quran in Sura 17:2-7 mentions the "Children of Israel's" two periods of independence in the land and the destruction of both the First and the Second Temple: "...to enter the Temple even as they entered it for the first time, and to lay waste..."
The PA accuses Israel of forging a false Jewish history in the land while at the same time stealing Palestinian history, culture, and heritage. The Palestinians refer to these actions as "Judaization." The main target of this "Judaization" is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which Israel purportedly conspires to destroy in order to build the Jewish Temple.
Advisor to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Ahmad Al-Ruweidi, recently denied the existence of the Temple while commenting on an Israeli excavation of a tunnel:
"I personally visited the entrance to this tunnel, and it is clear that they [the Israelis] have built it modeled on the alleged Temple, as a basis for transferring the Temple in the future into the Al-Aqsa Mosque."
The following are examples from the PMW archives from April to July 2011. The examples are arranged in two categories: PA leaders refer to the Jewish Temple as "the alleged temple" and PA denial of Jewish history in the land and accusations of heritage theft.
PA leaders refer to the Jewish Temple as "the alleged temple"
PA daily news report: "The destruction of the alleged Temple"
"Since Monday morning, groups of extremist Jews have been roaming the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque (i.e., the Temple Mount) one after the other, under heavy police protection, on the occasion of the [week of the]
so-called "destruction of the Temple"
... This Sunday, the occupation's police handed the shop owners in the Market of the Cotton Merchants... which leads to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, an order forcing them to close their shops on Monday afternoon (i.e., the eve of the anniversary of the destruction of the Temple - Tisha B'av), in order to facilitate the arrival of the settlers to the Market, for the sake of holding special Talmudic rituals on the occasion of
the destruction of the alleged Temple."

PA TV newsreader:

the entrance to this tunnel, and it is clear that they [the Israelis] have built it modeled on the alleged Temple, as a basis for transferring the Temple in the future into the Al-Aqsa Mosque."

Jews visiting the Temple Mount are "invasion," and all Israelis are "settlers"
"Israeli MP Michael Ben-Ari invaded the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday heading a group of settlers, who were on a tour of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, listening to Ben-Ari's explanations about the alleged Temple...
Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'a Law, Sheikh Yusuf Ida'is
, said that the invasion of Al-Aqsa had been carried out under the protection of extensive occupation (i.e., Israeli) police forces. He

Official PA daily: Israel's "Judaization plans... serve the myth and legend of the alleged Temple"
"It should be noted that the decisions to destroy and remove the Al-Bustan neighborhood were meant to realize the Judaization plans, according to which Talmudic parks would be established in its stead, serving the myth and legend of the alleged temple."

PA TV: The "alleged Temple" is "myth and legend"
"In occupied Jerusalem, the so-called 'Israel Supreme Court of Justice' is expected to rule on the fate of 88 homes in the Al-Bustan neighborhood. Member of the Silwan and Al-Bustan Neighborhood Defense Committee, Fakhri Abu Diab... emphasized that occupation forces [Israel] are trying to remove the neighborhood altogether and to expel its residents, numbering more than 2,500,
with the aim of building Talmudic parks which serve the myth and legend of the alleged Temple."
[PA TV, May 11, 2011]
Official PA daily: "The legend and fable of the alleged Temple"
"The Committee for Protection of Silwan Land and Assets warned of accelerated work in the area... [Member of the committee Fakhri] Abu Diab drew attention to the fact that
the occupation authorities (i.e., Israel) are acting to falsify facts and history, by 'planting' alleged graves in the area, claiming that they are Jewish ones
, and thereby conclusively seizing the area... He stated that the results of the [construction of]
very prominent works being carried out by the occupation's instruments, are changes in the area's landmarks, with the aim of falsifying its history and its heritage, and [bringing about] its complete Judaization, as a service to the legend and fable of the alleged Temple
. As to the parks... they will belong to the Temple, which the occupation authorities and groups of extremist Jews are hurrying to build in place of the Al-Aqsa Mosque."

Former Minister of Religious Affairs: The "alleged Temple" never existed on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque
"'Quds.net Center for Research and Communications' recently published the book, 'The Guide to the Al-Aqsa Mosque', by speaker at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and former Minister of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Yusuf Salameh. The book... deals with the Al-Aqsa Mosque, its importance, and the religious importance of the city of Jerusalem, in order to refute what the Israelis disseminate, claiming that the Al-Aqsa Mosque was built on the ruins of their temple. Sheikh Salameh said that the book was published at this sensitive time, with the holy city in general and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular being subjected to brutal occupation attack, aimed at forging reality, culture and history...
The book refutes the Israeli claims that the Al-Aqsa Mosque is situated upon the ruins of the alleged Temple
, and states that the Al-Buraq Wall (i.e., the Western Wall) is an authentic part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and is not the 'Wailing Wall', as the occupiers falsely refer to it."

Former PA Chief Justice of Religious Court: Israel plans destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque to build "alleged Temple"
"Former [PA] Chief Religious Justice, Sheikh Tayseer Al-Tamimi

the Israeli occupation to carry out its plans - its transformation into a Jewish city and the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in order to establish the alleged Temple in its place."

PA denial of Jewish history and accusations of heritage theft
PA TV News: Israel steals Palestinian identity and cultural heritage
PA TV News on a Debka folkdance festival held in Safa, in the Ramallah district:
PA TV reporter:
"[The groups] are directing a message to the entire world, that the Palestinian nation still retains its identity and its cultural heritage,
while Israel attempts to steal this heritage."
[PA TV (Fatah), July 15, 2011]
PA distortion: Jews changed original Arabic name "Al-Buraq Wall" to "the Wailing Wall"
Official PA daily's columnist on religious affairs, Is'haq Feleifel:
"The great and exalted Allah commanded the angel Gabriel to place Muhammad upon the riding beast [named] Al-Buraq, which was a cross between horse and donkey. The night journey was both physical and spiritual... Once he [Muhammad] reached the Al-Aqsa Mosque, (PMW note: the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was not yet built in the time of Muhammad. The "night journey" mentioned in the Quran is dated to 621 CE. The mosque was built on the Temple Mount by the son of Ummayad Caliph Abd Al-Malik 84 years later in 705 CE.) the angel Gabriel removed Muhammad from upon Al-Buraq's back, and then he tied the beast to the Al-Buraq rock, which was called the 'Al-Buraq Wall'. The Jews changed its name to the 'Wailing Wall', because the Jews are always trying to change Arabic names into Hebrew names, especially when it comes to prayer sites or names of towns and villages. For example, they call Al-Quds 'Jerusalem'; Al-Khalil [they call] 'Hebron'; Atara - 'Atarot, Nablus - 'Shechem', Tal Al-Rabia - 'Tel Aviv'(PMW note: 'Rabi'a' is the Arabic translation of the Hebrew word 'aviv', meaning 'spring'); Askelan - Ashkelon. There is not enough room to list all the names which have been replaced with false names. Even the 'Torah' falsified, changed and forged; this is the way of the Jews - they always try to change the real names to other, false names, in order to erase the [historical] facts."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, July 1, 2011]
It should be noted that all six Hebrew names of cites appear in the Bible long before the Arabic names existed.
Palestinian distortion: "If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem" was Crusader expression usurped by Zionists
Palestinian researcher Dr. Hayel Sanduqa on PA TV claims that the Hebrew Bible's psalm was actually first said by a Crusader:
"[The Israelis] have acted to change Jerusalem's character. Even the expression (Psalm 137:5) 'If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee.'
This statement, said by the Frankish [Crusader] ruler of Acre shortly before he left, was borrowed by the Zionist movement, which falsified it in the name of Zionism."
[PA TV, June 2, 2011]
Jewish presence in land of Israel 2,000 years ago "represents... nothing more than invention and falsification"
"The Zionists must acknowledge publicly, in front of the world, that the Jews have no connection to the Palestinian Arab land, upon whose ruins arose the colonialist settler Zionist plan that settles and expels, represented by the Israeli apartheid state. That which occurred two thousand years ago (i.e., the Jewish/Israeli presence in the land), assuming that it is true, represents in the book of history nothing more than invention and falsification and a coarse and crude form of colonialism."

Israel stole Palestinian heritage, including clothing, keffiyeh, falafel and humus
Columnist Muwaffaq Matar, commenting on the cheap products from the Far East flooding the Palestinian market:
"The Israelis have already stolen our clothing, our keffiyeh, our falafel and our humus, so why should we [now] allow produce from China and Taiwan to burn our olive tree (i.e., destroy the local economy)?"
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, May 26, 2011]
PA mayor: "The Zionist enemy" is trying "to create a history" at the expense of Palestinian history
Ahmad Budheir, Mayor of Kufr Al-Hares:
"We are suffering from the Zionist enemy, from the visits of the settlers - or the incessant invasions of the settlers - into the town, from the harassment and repeated assaults on citizens, on homes and on the land. They are trying to create a history that doesn't exist on our land, as usual, to steal the history and to steal the culture. They are trying to build history at the expense of our own history."
[PA TV (Fatah), May 23, 2011]
Abbas denies Jews have history in Israel
Abbas' speech in Gaza, delivered in his name by his advisor and representative Abdallah Al-Ifranji, in honor of "nakba" day - "catastrophe" day, the day the PA mourns the creation of the State of Israel:
PA moderator of PA Gaza event:
"The speech of President Mahmoud Abbas, Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee and President of the Palestinian Authority, will be delivered by the comrade, the great fighter, Abdallah Al-Ifranji, representative and advisor of the President."
Mahmoud Abbas, (delivered by his representative, Abdallah Al-Ifranji):
"National reconciliation [between Hamas and Fatah] is required in order to face Israel and Netanyahu. We say to him [Netanyahu], when he claims - that
they [Jews] have a historical right dating back to 3000 years BCE - we say that the nation of Palestine upon the land of Canaan had a 7000 year history BCE. This is the truth
, which must be understood and we have to note it, in order to say: 'Netanyahu, you are incidental in history.
We are the people of history. We are the owners of history.'"
[PA TV, May 14, 2011]
Official PA daily: Israel not only steals land but also history of Jerusalem
"Jerusalem is capital of Arab civilization"
"[Jerusalem] is the religious, historical, cultural and scientific capital of the Palestinian people in particular, and of the Arab nation in general. It is the pinnacle of civilizations of the entire world. When the Arab Jebusite king Malkizedeq built the city of Jerusalem, naming it Jebus and designating it the capital of his country six thousand years ago, none of the world's capitals existed yet... The veteran families which lived in ancient Jerusalem... lived a life of culture and civilization in the full sense of the word, to the extent that other cities which arose thousands of years ago attempted to imitate Jerusalem, the unique wonder, but none of them succeeded in building [a city] like Jerusalem. This is Jerusalem, the city which is closer to God's royal throne than any other part of the globe...
Therefore the invaders [Israel/the Jews] desired it, despite its small area... because this is the place which the Creator blessed, along with its environs. The invaders [Israel/the Jews], who steal the city's geography, are trying to also steal its history."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida

Official PA daily: Israel resorts to forgery to create evidence for Jewish history in Jerusalem
"Personalities living in Jerusalem: The occupation authorities (i.e., Israel) are forging the wall of Jerusalem by inserting stones engraved with a model of the alleged Temple"
"Respected Jerusalem bodies and personalities warned of suspicious forgery activities accompanying the extensive rehabilitation works which the occupation authorities [Israel] are carrying out... Chairman of the Jerusalem Association of NGO's, Hazem Gharabli, told WAFA...: 'What intensifies the concerns of Jerusalem bodies and individuals - even regular people - is the fact that the occupation authorities have completely covered the area where the rehabilitation works are being carried out, not allowing anyone to see which activities are actually going on there.
Their aim may be to remove original stones and to replace them with stones with Talmudic drawings or engravings, alluding to the existence of a Jewish heritage in the city.'
... The Al-Aqsa Institute for Islamic Trusts and Heritage said that the Israeli occupation had replaced several stones from the wall with stones carrying Talmudic Jewish symbols, such as a stone with a model of the alleged Temple, and a stone with a Star of David."

Deputy Minister of Culture: Israel steals Palestinian culture
"Deputy Minister of Culture, Musa Abu Ghreibeh, spoke about the role of his Ministry in reviving the Palestinian memory, especially in light of
Israeli measures aimed at erasing this memory from the minds of Palestinians
and specifically of the youth. He also noted with approval the role of the Eve Center (i.e., center for women's issues) in strengthening culture, resolve, and activity aimed at
preventing the occupation from stealing Palestinian culture."

BP Comment Quick Links
August 11, 2011 Prospects Will Break Your HeartPositional Primacy: Center Field
The minor leagues are stacked with quality center-field prospects, and some might even end up being quality center fielders at the major-league level. But the truth is most minor-league center fielders lack the necessary skill set to play the position in the majors, making the value of said skill set even more, um, valuable. This was a difficult list to compile, as I use a mixture of industry opinion and my own eyes to sketch the report, and opinions were extremely varied. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a national platform that encourages industry correspondence and reciprocation [read: people actually return my e-mail] more than discourages it, and I'm thankful because most industry types aren't influenced by my 70-grade smile. For this article, I polled 10 people employed by major-league teams; some were scouting directors, some were scouts, some were even higher on the food chain. I asked them a simple question: Who are the top 10 center-field prospects currently in the minor leagues? The answer(s) to that question resulted in nearly 20 different names; only six guys appeared on every list, while others were ranked surprisingly high on some but were absent on others. I believe this is what scouting is all about. Player evaluation is an art, and when projection is still in play, beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. As the process nears maturity, the subjective nature of the evaluations will erode, as the picture of the player becomes more representational. I still love the operation when development reaches that point, but to be honest, the conceptual sketches of the immature talent create a more exciting world; it's a world where ceilings are still in the mind, and being "wrong" about a player still has a chance to end up being right. This list might be "wrong" in two months—much less two years—and for some of you, it might be "wrong" in the next two minutes. I can't say I agree with some of the industry opinion I solicited, though I know they are working with superior information. I'm stubborn, and there's a reason of why I like particular prospects; titles can't shake what my eyes believe. There won't be a consensus on this list because it doesn't exist. Below represents the best collage of industry opinion I could construct, with my own thoughts casting the deciding vote. Given the nature of the position itself, most of the talent is high-ceiling, so the talent are ranked as is—no tiers. Are these the top center fielders in the minors, or just 10 center fielders who happen to be preferred by 10 random baseball minds (and my own)? Every list should be different, so here's mine.
Mike Trout (Angels)
Leonys Martin (Rangers)
Starling Marte (Pirates)
Aaron Hicks (Twins)
Gary Brown (Giants)
Anthony Gose (Blue Jays)
Reymond Fuentes (Padres)
Brett Jackson (Cubs)
Jiwan James (Phillies)
Mason Williams (Yankees) Other names receiving votes (in no particular order): James Baldwin, Slade Heathcott, Luigi Rodriguez, Xavier Avery, Matt Szczur, Donovan Tate, Rafael Ortega, Jordan Akins, Joe Benson.

Our approach
We focus our support on innovative social enterprises that have the potential to achieve real change.
Read Westpac Foundation's 2016 Annual Report (PDF 1MB) and how we're helping fellow Australians in need.
We want our community partners to be around for the long-term in order to drive lasting social change. We do this by:
- Supporting social enterprises at all stages of development, from start-ups right through to well established organisations looking to expand
- Fostering deep, long-term partnerships with our grantees to ensure their future sustainability
- Building the internal capacity of our grantees with a blend of financial and non-financial support
- Using the skills and expertise of Westpac Group staff and our social sector partners for the benefit of our grantees.
More than Money
We recognise that organisations can't succeed through financial support alone. We believe a balance of grant funding and non-financial support is key to helping our community partners achieve long-term sustainability. All Westpac Foundation grantees will receive 'More than Money' support; we work closely together to assess the grantees' non-financial needs to find a solution to complement our financial support.
This non-financial support is just as valuable to our not-for-profit and social enterprise partners as the grant itself. Our range of More than Money support available includes:
- Business mentoring focuses on building individual capacity and enabling skills transfer from members of Westpac staff to individuals within the social enterprise. Typically a Westpac employee would mentor an individual for a period of 12 months.
- Organisational mentoring runs in partnership with Westpac staff. The program is designed to help deliver sustainable benefits to social enterprises by supporting continuous improvement, innovation and collaboration. Typically, the program involves partnering with an organisation's leadership team, identifying opportunities that create sustainable change and building a team of Westpac employees to mentor the organisation through its transformation. The relationship lasts for around 2 years.
- Skilled volunteering uses the skills and expertise of Westpac employees, who offer organisations specialised support to successfully achieve their missions. Skilled volunteering differs from organisational mentoring in that employees work with organisations on specific projects, such as developing a marketing plan.
- Financial education provided through Westpac's Davidson Institute, we offer a range of free live and pre-recorded money management webinars for individuals, businesses, not for profit organisations and community groups. Webinar content is accessible from a laptop, PC or smart mobile device. Pre-recorded content is available 24/7.
- Program evaluation workshops are offered at the start of funding to help our social enterprise partners measure the outcomes of their activities.

The Worx WG500 Trivac All-in-One Compact Blower, Mulcher and Vac brings three functions together in one lightweight machine. At 8.3 pounds, the Trivac weighs less than a gallon of milk! In fact, it is the only blower/vac actually designed to be used with only one hand. With its wrap-around soft grip handle, blowing off your driveway or vacuuming leaves around the patio is almost effortless. Unlike other blower/vac machines, there's no hassle with changing large bulky tubes when changing from a blower to a vac. Switching functions is as easy as the flip of a switch. The convenient large-capacity collector bag holds up to 10 gallons of mulch (equal to 100 gallons of dry leaves) and is made of special breathable nylon fabric to maximize airflow. The bag's proprietary quick-connect coupler makes emptying and replacing it a snap. Mulch is perfect for spreading as ground cover for your flower bed or compost for your garden.
Features a unique angled tube to easily vacuum leaves from under decks or play equipment, a built-in airflow regulator which to adjust the blower speed and an impact resistant impeller to mulch leaves up to 1/10 their original size. As a blower, the Worx Trivac produces an airspeed of over 210 mph, strong enough for even the toughest wet leaves and debris. The vacuum generates 350 cubic feet of airflow per minute with a powerful 12 amp motor. Includes 10 gallon leaf collection bag.
