The attack by Samuel Freedman in a May 27 opinion article against the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, as well as his defense of National Public Radio's Middle East coverage and his claims about initiatives by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are alarming considering that he is a tenured professor at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism ("From 'Balance' to Censorship: Bush's Cynical Plan for NPR"). His assertion that there is a "scheme" afoot, a "desire to censor" and an attempt to "destroy the editorial independence" of NPR merits a response. A few facts are in order.
Freedman neglects to mention a crucial point: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an independent entity created to oversee the channeling of tax funds to public radio and television networks, is mandated by a 1967 federal statute to assure that recipients of its funds provide "strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature." That is, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is required to assure that American tax dollars are not used to support partisan programming on contentious issues — an eminently reasonable stipulation. How to implement such oversight and yet avoid government intrusiveness is the difficult question.
What has always been missing in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's previous efforts to assure objectivity and balance has been a mechanism for evaluating the merit of listener complaints. This has meant, for instance, that extensive documentation of partisan NPR coverage had simply been ignored; perhaps that is about to change. Freedman, however, chooses to term this evolution toward compliance with the law — and with common sense and journalistic ethics — "a scheme to place NPR's programming under political oversight."
He also excoriates anyone who criticizes the media, mocking the "professional scolds" who dare to fault "NPR, CNN, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times" — and in particular those of us who work at the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, or Camera. In reality, Camera — a 25-year-old media-monitoring group with a national membership of 55,000 and a staff of almost 20 people documenting and researching coverage and publishing magazines and monographs — focuses on data and facts. We focus not, as Freedman suggests, on "conspiratorial" decisions by news executives or field reporters, but on what precisely is written or broadcast, whether it is accurate and complete, and whether there is a balanced presentation of views.
Fortunately, at many media outlets there is a commendably open approach by editors and reporters to readers, viewers and listeners who communicate on issues of fact, balance, completeness and even news judgment — a healthy and vitally important dimension of interaction between powerful institutions and the public they serve. Many of the most eminent print and electronic media are the most professional and systematic in addressing concerns on the merits and evince an admirable focus on getting the story right.
However, among the least amenable to public concerns is National Public Radio, the network Freedman vociferously defends. He cites as proof of NPR's integrity a morning broadcast several years ago about "how Palestinian laborers were reduced to sneaking across the Green Line on foot or even donkey to avoid the Israeli army's checkpoints and border closures." He recalls, "As both a journalist and a Zionist, I listened closely for any explanation of why Israel had deemed it necessary to block Palestinian entry. To my satisfaction, the NPR correspondent noted that the policy had come in response to a wave of suicide bombings."
According to the news database Nexis, there were two segments on NPR's "Morning Edition" show making reference to a donkey and Palestinians at checkpoints. One aired on March 6, 2001 and the other February 25, 2002. The first includes three critics of Israel and one defender. The second opens with a sentence to the effect that Israel cites suicide bombings as cause for the checkpoints —and then presents only Palestinians deploring Israeli actions, offers no Israeli voices at all and is devoted to what is characterized as the humiliation, shame and anger of the Palestinians.
Contrary to warranting the praise Freedman offers, these segments typify an aspect of NPR distortion. Cumulatively, such one-sided presentations of Palestinian grievances with far lesser mention of Israeli perspectives amounts to bias. Numerous in-depth studies by Camera detail this and other elements of NPR's skewed Middle East coverage.

Leonard Fein's May 20 opinion column showed that NGO Monitor won't let truth stand in the way of its attacks on anyone who criticizes Israel's human rights record. The response in a May 27 letter to the editor of NGO Monitor's editor, Gerald Steinberg, could stand as Exhibit A of Fein's case ("Watching the Watchers").
Steinberg's claim that Human Rights Watch "support[s]" the British boycott of Israeli academics is pure fiction. When questioned, he does not even pretend to have a basis for it. He just made it up.
Steinberg accuses Human Rights Watch of playing a "role" in the 2001 Durban conference's condemnation of "Zionism as racism" and Israel as an "apartheid" state, leaving the impression that we supported these reprehensible charges. In fact, the only role we played was trying to prevent adoption of these calumnies and, when that failed, issuing a public denunciation carried by newspapers around the world.
Steinberg claims our Israel researcher "wrote for" a pro-Palestinian Web site simply because — like the use of our material worldwide by press of all political views — it once reprinted an article of hers published elsewhere. He trumpets his "quantitative analysis" of our reporting on Israel while ignoring the comprehensive, five-year figures he was given proving no disproportionate attention to Israel.
Steinberg evidently calculates that however many times his lies are exposed, some people will believe him. Yet he does Israel no favor by rejecting unpleasant truths in favor of defensive mistruths. Only those who foolishly believe that telling tall tales will win Israel friends subscribe to such systematic distortion.

Fast Forward writer Saul Austerlitz notes various meanings assigned to the Omer period with the passage of time ("In Marking Time: Recounting the Omer," May 20). While he mentions the biblical commandment to bring an offering of new grain to the Temple on the 50th day following Passover, he does not expand on this agricultural link.
Nogah Hareuveni does exactly that in his book "Nature in our Biblical Heritage." He writes, "The day of offering on which new grain was brought to the Temple was called by the talmudic sages the closing of Passover. It is this day which closes the cycle of the fifty nerve-racking days counted off."
Only at the end does the daily trepidation for the fate of the grain crop and the early development of the fruit of the seven varieties have a joyful conclusion. Naomi Shemer, in her beloved bittersweet song "Al Kol Eleh," took note of this in asking God to "Watch over the little I have… over the fruit that has not yet been ripened but which has already been harvested." This is a time of danger, this is the watchfulness in the counting of each day of the Omer.

A May 27 article raises the ridiculous possibility that Malcolm Hoenlein had knowingly let two hecklers sit in a reserved section at an event for Prime Minister Sharon co-sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations ("Hecklers Nabbed VIP Seating With Help of (Former) Friend"). The article's authors implied as much, though they cite no one either by name or anonymously who made such an accusation.
Usually journalists present both sides to a dispute. What are the two sides here? Hoenlein clearly denied any foreknowledge of the hecklers' intention to interrupt the prime minister at the event he initiated and worked on tirelessly. The heckler himself denied that Hoenlein could have had any expectation of his behavior. Even Abraham Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League's national director termed in the article as "one of Hoenlein's main critics," called the accusation unfair.
On the other side, there is an unattributed conspiracy theory that offends common sense. The Forward asks its readers to consider the possibility that Hoenlein would even think of this, let alone risk his reputation and position to allow the two hecklers — who were already in the auditorium — to be seated a few rows closer to the stage. No responsible person would do or think this.
No responsible newspaper would run a headline that implied so, as the Forward did. The orange protesters, we expected. The yellow journalism, we didn't.

Editor's note:
The Forward's report on the heckling at the May 22 Sharon rally did not present two sides to a dispute because there was no dispute. At no point did our report suggest that Malcolm Hoenlein had advance warning of a disruption by the individuals he waved into the VIP section at the rally. On the contrary, we quoted three sources — Hoenlein, the heckler himself and Abraham Foxman — stating plainly that the event was unforeseen and probably unpredictable. Nowhere did we ask the reader to think otherwise.

Key Points:
- Day 12 of the Anglo Irish Bank trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court
- Former chairman Seán FitzPatrick and former executives Patrick Whelan and William McAteer have pleaded not guilty to providing unlawful financial assistance to 16 people to buy shares in the bank
- Mr Whelan has also denied seven charges of being privy to the fraudulent alteration of a loan facility letter
15.30 The trial has ended early today after a juror had to go home because of a personal issue.
In the proceedings that followed the lunch break, Matt Moran gave evidence regarding what was described at the time as "huge pressure" being exerted by the Financial Regulator in relation to the Quinn family's take up of the Maple Transaction.
The jury has heard that unwinding of the Quinn CFD shares would involved the bank lending money to the Maple Ten borrowers and six members of the Quinn family in order to allow them to buy Anglo shares, turning the CFDs into actual shares.
Mr Moran said he understood that it was agreed with the Regulator that the borrowings would be deducted from the banks own funds, its capital base, until they were refinanced.
He said this was definitely a "penal provision" which could be removed once refinancing was done.
In an email sent from Mr Moran to Pat Whelan on Wednesday 23 July, Mr Moran wrote: "Pat I called LM (Liam McCaffrey from Quinn Group) today after chatting with MOS (Michael O'Sullivan from Anglo) to let him know FR (Financial Regulator) putting us under huge pressure. Said they are threatening to treat most recent increase in lending (to allow facility to go long c.170m) in a very penal manner and that it may have disclosure implications."
On 25 July, Mr Horan wrote back to Mr Moran. In reference to a loan of €169m to finance Mr Quinn's holding in Anglo shares Mr Horan wrote "as discussed the FR considers it appropriate that Anglo take a deduction from Total Own Funds".
Mr Moran said that the banking rules meant that total borrowing had to be kept at a certain percentage of the bank's capital.
Mr Moran told the court: "An important matter was having it sorted by 30 September because that's the banks' year end – so the capital was refinanced before you release your results."
He said he wanted the capital to be at the highest at the end of September when the bank released its results.
The court heard that the refinancing of the Quinn Group, which was proposed to come from Credit Suisse and Lehman Brothers, never happened.
13.20 Before breaking for lunch the jury was shown an email sent from Mr Moran to Con Horan, who was with the Financial Regulator, on 31 March 2008, regarding attempts to unwind the CFD holding by the Quinn Group and a Memorandum Of Agreement in connection with this.
The email states: "Con, I have just forwarded to you a copy of agreement. I would also like to request confirmation from you, if so required by the Financial Regulator, approval that the shareholdings to be held by entities each owned separately by Mr Seán Quinn's children, be an Approved Person if deemed to be acting in concert only from a regulatory perspective."
An email sent the next day to Mr Horan states that additional lending will be made available by the Quinn family to fund them going long or buying the shares that were linked to the large CFD position.
The email states that the lending "will be very short term in nature and will be collateralised by the assets of the Quinn Group".
Mr Moran testified that this email followed a conversation he had with Mr Horan who asked him about the potential lending to Seán Quinn in order to purchase the shares.
He said he referred the conversation to David Drumm and Mr Drumm instructed him to write back to Mr Horan and "say in effect, if the bank did lend, it would be short term and bridging in nature."
The jury is back at 2pm.
12.15 Day 12 of the Anglo trial and the cross-examination has begun of Matt Moran, Anglo's Chief Financial Officer in 2008.
Mr Moran began by telling Brendan Grehan SC, defending Pat Whelan, that it is possible he may have to give evidence in what Mr Grehan described as "other matters in the pipeline".
The trial has previously heard that Mr Moran has been granted immunity by the DPP for the purpose of this trial and in respect of other matters for which prosecutions may arise.
The jury have been shown an email sent from David Drumm to Mr Moran on 19 March 2008 in which the former CEO wrote: "If we had the approval of the regulator would there be any legal issue (company law) with lending against our own shares.
"As I understand it, we have an out under section 60 if it is in the "ordinary course of business". In our case that means lending. Let's look at this option tomorrow."

Most businesses will have a combination of two personality types in their employees: introverted and extroverted, freelance writer Gwen Moran writes in Entrepreneur magazine. While extroverts get their energy from external sources like meetings and interactions with others, introverts tend to recharge through time by themselves to think and plan.
Most dairy farm workers tend to be introverted — some are almost painfully so — while many dairy farm CEOs tend toward the extroverted side. This can lead to many basic misunderstandings and cross-communications. Use the following tips to help best manage your introverts:
- Give them time to think. Introverted employees typically perform better when they have a chance to think about ideas or meeting topics in advance, so creating an agenda and distributing it beforehand is a simple task that can help them to participate fully. If that's not possible, give your introverted employees some time after meetings to reflect and get back to you with additional thoughts. That's how you'll get the gems from them, Moran writes.
- Give them space. Too much external stimuli can be draining for introverts. If it's not possible to let them work in a quieter office or cubicle, at least have a space where they can retreat, giving them refuge from the sensory onslaught of an open workspace. They may also do better with more independent work, she says.
- Plan early meetings. Since introverts tend to have more energy at the beginning of the day, try to time important meetings before lunch when their energy is highest. At this point, they haven't been exhausted by dealing with other people and the hustle and bustle of the office all day. If that's not possible, give them time to plan in advance and an opportunity to think through the meeting discussion and get back to you with more information or ideas later.
- Be comfortable with silence. When conversing with introverts, give them time to think and respond. If you're managing an introverted team member, don't let others interrupt or speak over him or her, she advises. Help your introverted employees speak their minds.
- Seek their feedback. Get answers and information from introverts in ways that make them more comfortable. Instead of expecting them to hold their own in meetings and spontaneous discussions about projects and issues, seek them out for one-on-one chats. When they've had a chance to prep for meetings, specifically ask their opinions to be sure they get a chance to contribute fully.

Diamond Mining - Extraction Techniques
Diamonds and supplementary valuable and semi-precious gemstones are excavated from the earth level via 4 main types on mining. These diamond withdrawal methods vary depending on how the minerals are situated within the earth, the steadiness of the material neighboring the preferred mineral, and the nonessential damage done to the surrounding environment. The standard methods of mining for diamonds are:
• Hard Rock Mining
• Marine Mining
• Open Pit Mining
• Placer Mining
Hard-Rock Mining:
The name "Hard Rock Diamond Mining" refers to a variety of techniques used to mine precious stones & gems, minerals, and ore bodies by making tunnels underground and generating subversive "rooms" or "stopes" held in position by timber pillars of station rock. Access to the underground ore is achieved via a "decline" or a "shaft".
Open Pit Mining:
Open-Pit diamond mining or "Open-Cast Mining" is a technique of extracting rock or minerals from the ground by taking away from an open pit or hole. Open pit mines are utilized when deposits of minerals are established near the surface or along kimberlitic pipes.
Placer Mining:
Placer Diamond mining, also termed as "sand bank mining" is utilized for hauling diamonds and minerals from alluvial derived deposits. Placer Mining is a variety of open-pit or open-cast mining utilized to haul out minerals from the surface of the earth devoid of the usage of tunneling.
Marine Mining:
Marine mining method only became commercially feasible in the early 1990s. Marine diamond mining uses both "vertical" and "horizontal" methods to take out diamonds from offshore placer deposits. Vertical marine mining possesses a 6 to 7 meter diameter drill skull to slash into the seabed and suck up the diamond demeanor material from the sea bed.

Portland Mayor Sam Adams said he will appeal a ruling that says he must reinstate Portland police officer Ronald Frashour. The PPB officer was terminated after he fatally shot Aaron Campbell in 2010. This ruling upholds another ruling earlier in the year that said Frashour should be given his job back. In a separate action, the family of Aaron Campbell filed a civil lawsuit against the city, which was settled for $1.2 million.

JERUSALEM (Jul. 11)
The labor unrest seemed to ease somewhat today as the government and Histadrut drew closer to a compromise agreement on the government's controversial emergency economic program.
The civil service workers union cancelled, at the 11th hour, a general strike by some 80,000 government employes that was to have begun today. The threat was removed after Premier Shimon Peres, Finance Minister Yitzhak Modai and Histadrut Secretary General Yisrael Kessar reached an understanding that dismissal notices to 10,000 government workers would be delayed.
The notices were to go out at midnight tonight. The delay did not mean that the jobs have been saved or that massive strike action has been averted. Histadrut's strike coordinating committee gave the go-ahead to the various local unions today to proceed with plans for a nationwide general strike beginning Sunday morning if the current talks with the government fail to reach a compomise.
The outstanding issues are the erosion of wages and mass dismissals. Kessar said, after a meeting of the Histadrut Central Committee in Tel Aviv, that labor was as anxious as the government to rehabilitate the economy. It wants the economic program to succeed and the workers are prepared to carry additional burdens as long as they are fair and equitable and are determined through negotiations rather than imposed by decree.
The core of the conflict between Histadrut and the government has been the latter's plan to implement its economic program by invoking emergency regulations that are a holdover from the British Mandate regime.
Finance Minister Modai, who drafted the emergency program, told the Ministerial Economic Committee today that he was ready to consider reduced wages as a substitute for large scale dismissals as long as there was no deviation from the basic goals of his program. He said he would ask the Cabinet to empower him to postpone the dismissals.
His position indicated that the Treasury realized that the prospects of implementing its economic measures were slim without the agreement of Histadrut. The latter has not proposed an alternative economic program, however, and apparently is not inclined to do so.
But Deputy Premier and Housing Minister David Levy, the most outspoken critic of Modai's plan, suggested today that the Cabinet may have to reconsider it to avoid a situation where it would remain a paper plan, unenforceable. Levy was one of seven Likud ministers who voted against the program last week and the only one who continued to oppose it publicly after it was adopted.
Deputy Premier Yitzhak Shamir, the Likud leader, supported Modai in the Cabinet though he said the plan was far from perfect. He continued to support it today, saying there was no alternative. He urged the nation to back the government's measures.
President Chaim Herzog, who has no political role but can bring to bear the prestige of his office, also urged the populace today to unite to save the economy from collapse even though it requires personal sacrifices. He said he was confident a majority of the people objected to the rash of wildcat strikes which disrupted public services this week. While it is just and legitimate to protest and demonstrate, Herzog said, he rejected acts that pushed the economy toward "destructive anarchy."
The labor unrest of the past few days seemed to be simmering down. Of the several unions that walked out Tuesday, only the Israel Electric Corp. workers continued their job actions today. For the second successive day, power output was reduced by 20 percent and rotating power blackouts hit various parts of the country. These were supposed to last no longer than 30 minutes at a time. But most areas reported blackouts of three hours' duration.
The massive traffic jams experienced yesterday because of non-functioning traffic lights worsened today. Many factories and shops were idle for the lack of electric power, causing lost production and lost customers. The electric company workers said they would not restore normal power until the government rescinds the emergency measures invoked to implement its economic program.

Police: Predators using gaming consoles to target kids
Thu, 12 Mar 2009 04:28:04 GMT —
Sexual predators aren't just using computers to meet children online - they're using gaming consoles, like the Wii, PlayStation and Xbox, according to police.
These gaming consoles can be a "foot in the door" for child predators, police say, because most gaming systems can connect to the Internet - giving predators access to kids, allowing them to strike up seemingly innocent conversations.
Three Missouri girls between seven and 11 were recently contacted by an older man while playing "Animal Crossing: City Folk," according to the Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force. The man asked the girls for their picture and other "inappropriate information."
Over the past few months, police learned about other incidents where young children were targeted using gaming systems. The same man who contacted the three girls in Misosuri is also believed to have contacted another girl, out of state, in California.
A popular game
Drake Grimes, 12, says Animal Crossing is one of his favorite games.
"It just really never gets old," said Drake. "I mean you could play it for a really long time. You definitely get your money's worth for it. It's very fun."
The game is very popular with kids and adults, according to Brian Hulsizer with Columbia's Gaming City - where the game was sold out Wednesday. Hulsizer describes the kids' game - which features talking animals and buried treasure - as Sims-like, and "very community-oriented," with the ability to play online.
While Hulsizer says the game's a top seller - attracting kids of all ages - police say it's also attracting sexual predators.
"In our business we've seen and read reports where this has been happening ever since the technology has been around," said Det. Marc Sullivan with the Internet Crimes Task Force.
Hard to track down, investigate
Police say any online game that has instant messaging or voice chat can be used by predators to target children. Some of those platforms include: PlayStation 3, Xbox, Wii, Webkins and online chat rooms and games.
Police also say it's harder to track down and investigate online predators who use consoles over computers, since they don't have that equipment to experiment with.
"For us it would be kind of difficult," Sullivan admitted. "Since we wouldn't have the right tools to do it."
That is why police are urging parents to keep a close watch on their kids - which is just what Drake's mother has always done.
"It's troubling," she said. "If you have someone inside they can say whatever they want, or type whatever they want. They could tear up your world for that matter and you couldn't stop it."

The Saugus baseball team entered its game against Hart tied for last place in the Foothill League standings.
That fact wasn't evident Friday.
Center fielder Connor Wilson led off the game with a solo home run to left field as the Centurions jumped out to a nine-run lead that the Indians couldn't overcome in a 9-5 win at Hart High School.
"We are 3-6 (in league), and three of those losses were by one run," said Saugus head coach John Maggiora. "We could easily be 6-3 and talking about first place or a game out. It shows it's a game of inches, and when the inches are there, you have to take them."
That's exactly what the Centurions (8-12, 3-6) did Friday, scoring at least two runs in each of the first four innings as starter Brad Buchignani cruised to open a 9-0 lead.
Both teams finished with 12 hits, and before long, it appeared as if Hart (15-5, 6-3) was on pace for a dramatic comeback.
But Saugus' Nick Lombardi threw three strong innings to close out the game.
"I don't think we played as bad as the score indicates. We hit the ball well," said Indians head coach Jim Ozella, who blamed himself for the loss. "It's not been a good week for us in a lot of ways. I'll take the (blame) for this."
Indians starter Erik Vogel entered the game with a 1.55 ERA, but was knocked out after the second inning down 4-0.
Wilson's leadoff shot essentially opened the floodgates.
"It set a big tone," Wilson said. "For us to get off to a big start (was important). Not having a good history of coming from behind, it was big getting nine runs. I didn't think there was any way we'd lose that."
Andru Cardenas tacked on the second run by attempting to steal third on a wild pitch. Cardenas rounded the base for home, and the throw back to the plate was dropped, allowing the Centurion to slide in for a 2-0 lead.
Cardenas added a two-run double to left-center field in the second inning, before a Justin Sheehan solo homer and a Roy Verdejo sacrifice fly ball to right put the Centurions up 7-0. On the sac fly, Justin Donatella scored from third, and Kyle Mark followed suit after a throwing error sent the ball to the backstop.
Saugus' final two runs came off RBI singles from Sheehan and Donatella in the fourth inning.
Then the Indians started to respond, scoring four runs in the bottom of the fourth thanks to a two-run home run by Alex Tenorio and RBI singles from Cole Gasper and Daniel Dietz.
"Hits are contagious," Tenorio said. "I just thought, 'Get on (base) for the team.' And I had Dallas (Bacon) in front of me with a nice double. Having a runner on second with no outs gives you confidence."
Buchignani left the game after the four-run frame, and was replaced by Dylan Freyre. Freyre allowed two hits, including an RBI single to Bacon that cut the lead to 9-5.
With no one out and two runners, Lombardi took over.
The senior got out of the inning unscathed on five pitches, including a three-pitch strikeout of Tyler Glasnow.
"I just had the mind-set to come out there and strike out the next three guys," Lombardi said. "Hopefully, get out of the inning and get some momentum."
Lombardi struck out three and allowed three hits. Buchignani earned the win, pitching four innings with two strikeouts and four earned runs on seven hits.
Wilson finished 3-for-4 with a double, stolen base and three runs, while four other Centurions finished 2-for-4.
Hart pitcher Ricky Torres took over for Bobby Stafford after the fourth inning, and proceeded to retire the next nine batters in order.
Vogel took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits with two strikeouts.
Bacon and Tenorio each batted 3-for-4.
"From every negative, a positive always occurs if you take the right steps," Ozella said. "We've got to take the right steps. And we will."

Health myth #6
Fri, 05 Nov 2010 21:48:32 GMT —
We can all remember arguing with our parents when they interrupted summer swim time with some after-eating rest.
But were all those interruptions necessary?
We've been uncovering the truth about 12 health myths with the help of some Blessing Rieman College of Nursing students.
KHQA's Jarod Wells has the truth about another myth for this KHQA Safe Family Report.
You've always heard that you shouldn't swim for an hour after eating. Is this true or false?
BRCN Senior Jennifer Bohrer said, "Although it is a myth, it is not advised to eat a large meal before swimming due to the potential cause of cramping."
BRCN Senior Ashley Adams said, "Actually, after eating blood flows to the digestive system and away from the muscles. It has been thought though that vigorous activity after you eat, they believe that the lack of blood flow would cause your muscles to cramp up and you would drown."
BRCN Senior Joni Smith said, "You might have less energy, but it won't cause you to stop treading water."
Professional and vigorous swimmers are the ones who really need to be careful about eating before swimming .

Botox 1 month after eyelid surgery
Eyelid Surgery and Botox
Botox may be injected several weeks after eyelid surgery. However, I do not inject the Botox around the eyelids during this time period. I may inject the forehead or glabella.
Botox after Eyelid Surgery
Once healing and swelling have resolved, Botox is safe. Usually that is within 3-4 weeks. Check with your surgeon too.

As Betty Rella finished giving Sacha a haircut, pieces of white hair fell to the floor. As she got in a few last snips on one of her "little girls," Rella put a bow in Sacha's hair to reward her for staying calm.
Sacha, a 2-year-old Maltese, had been calm the whole time, but as her owner, Nikita-Elyse Thomas, walked into Top Breed Dog & Cat Grooming, she excitedly ran to meet her.
It's a common sight for Rella, 67, who works on up to ten dogs every day. She compared the pets getting worked on to "ladies at a beauty parlor" and said the dogs always seem to feel better when they leave her store.
"She walks differently," said Thomas, 25, after her appointments once every three weeks. "Like a strut."
Owner: Betty Rella of West Orange
What Kind of Business is it? Top Breed is a grooming salon that works on cats and dogs as well as sells pet accessories.
How did the owner get her start? Rella started grooming to help her husband, who went to grooming school and still had a lot to learn. Both were out of work at the time and invested their time into working in the business and learning from the previous owner.
"When you have a big need, you put your heart and soul into it," she said.
How long has the shop been in business? While the original business has been around since 1968, Rella took over 15 years ago.
What's inside the business? In the front room, the store sells pet accessories and behind a Dutch door, Rella cuts hair and nails in a small room.
What are the price points?Rella said her business is "very affordable," with basic grooming raging from $40 to $45.
What makes the place unique? Rella said she's not in business simply to make money, but also to make art. She said working on every breed's unique styles keeps her creative.
"Someone who doesn't like art can never be a groomer," she said.
Who does the shop cater to? Rella sees local customers from Kearny, Harrison, Newark and even as far away as Pennsylvania. She works on cats and dogs, but said she prefers working the well-behaved felines.
"A dog you can put a muzzle on and they will behave. But a cat will murder you," she said.
What are the owner's plans for the business? Rella, who has three dogs and two children, enjoys the business, but said she's looking to retire in a few years.
"I would really love to sell the business to someone who really loves their work," she said.
What does the owner like best about the business? Rella said the business is very peaceful and added that while she can meet any customer's needs, she likes the working class community that comes to her store.
"Middle class people," she said. "I love 'em."

Fox Declassifies 'Gang Related' Details, Trailer
Fox hopes to have a hit on its hands with the upcoming action drama Gang Related.
Created by Chris Morgan (The Fast and the Furious, Wanted), the series stars Ramon Rodriguez as a Los Angeles cop with ties to both the police department and a local gang who needs to figure out where his allegiances lie.
In addition to a drama-filled premise, Gang Related boasts an impressive list of personnel, including Lost's Terry O'Quinn and The Man With the Iron Fists director RZA. From Hell and Broken City director Allen Hughes helmed the pilot which debuts Thursday, May 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Here's the official synopsis:
Every villain has a noble cause, and every hero has a dark side.
In the gritty new action-drama GANG RELATED, Detective RYAN LOPEZ (Ramon Rodriguez, "Battle Los Angeles," "The Wire") is a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force. What the world doesn't know is that long before Ryan became a cop, he pledged allegiance to a different band of brothers – a powerful Latino gang called Los Angelicos.
When Ryan's best friend and police partner is senselessly killed by a notorious gang member, Ryan teams up with longtime Task Force member CASSIUS GREEN (RZA, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," "Californication"), who has been at the forefront of the city's war on organized crime. In this war between law enforcement and gangs, the series explores how only people who really know the streets can win the battle on the streets.
Despite his profession, Ryan is still beholden to the gang's leader, JAVIER ACOSTA (Cliff Curtis, "Live Free or Die Hard," "Training Day"), the father figure Ryan has tried to make proud his entire life and the man who masterminded his entry into the police force. It's a secret that has been held for a decade by Ryan, Javier and Javier's sons: cold-blooded gang lieutenant CARLOS (Rey Gallegos, "Sons of Anarchy," "24"); and Ryan's childhood best friend, straight-laced investment banker DANIEL (Jay Hernandez, "Last Resort," "Hostel").
But Ryan is starting to realize that he is even more dedicated to being a cop than he is to Los Angelicos. He is respected by his team, including TAE KIM (Sung Kang, "Fast Five," "Live Free or Die Hard"), VERONICA "VEE" DOTSEN (Inbar Lavi, "Underemployed," "Street Kings 2: Motor City") and Task Force leader SAM CHAPEL (Terry O'Quinn, "Lost"), Ryan's other surrogate father figure, whose estranged daughter, JESSICA (Shantel VanSanten, "One Tree Hill," "The Final Destination"), is the city's Assistant District Attorney.
Ryan's education comes from the streets, and that schooling will work to his advantage, as he, Cassius and the rest of the police unit take aim at the city's most dangerous gangs. While balancing two allegiances, two father figures and two families, Ryan's increasing sense of loyalty to one will help him finally determine which side of the law he is really on.
GANG RELATED is from 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment, Chris Morgan Productions and Skeeter Rosenbaum Productions. The series is created and written by Chris Morgan ("Wanted," "Fast Five"). The series is executive-produced by Morgan, Scott Rosenbaum ("The Shield," "Chuck"), Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer ("24," "A Beautiful Mind") and Francie Calfo ("The Great Escape," "The Playboy Club"). Allen Hughes ("Dead Presidents," "Book of Eli," "Menace II Society") directed and served as an executive producer on the pilot.

|I found the corner secure enough. For me, getting around the bulge at the start gave me problems for a 5.5 climb. You can continue up into the chimney above (maybe a 5.8 move getting into the chimney then 5.0 after that) to summit Middle Spire.

I would like to have a navigation menu with two level. But there is no content on the top level pages, they are only sections for the structure. I would like to jump from the first level directly in each section to the first child item. How is it possible to realize it?
I try to explain my problem again, please someone my help me.
I need to build a menu with this structure
-Product 1
-Product 2
-Project 1
-Project 2
The Products an Projects items have no content. I would like to reach directly the Product 1 page when I klick on the Projects section.
Is there any possibility to build this model?
You could try making the Products and Project pages "Redirect Pages".
Ok - good idea! But how woud you realize it concretely?
Redirector pages linking to the first child would be the way to do it, as grilldan said.
So you'd change the page type in the CMS (using the behaviour tab) for the Products and Projects pages to a "Redirector page".
Then, you'd choose the first child from the dropdown once the page is changed to a redirector. This means that if anyone hits that given page, it'll redirect them to the page chosen in the dropdown.
Thanx to all of you! Great, it works!
I haven't found the easy way to use just an other page type! Thats the possibility for my project.
And it's good to know php function for an other project!
Great community! :-)

Steve Earle coming to Orpheum in Ybor City
Ybor City's Orpheum is generally known for hardcore, metal and indie rock shows, with the occasional big-name curveball (Patrick Stump) thrown in to keep you guessing.
But we have to say, this one came out of nowhere.
Renegade country singer-songwriter/playwright/actor/all-around badass Steve Earle will perform at Orpheum on Dec. 9, according to a press release. Tickets are $34-$38. Click here to get 'em.
This is being billed as a solo acoustic show with his wife, singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, so while you might be treated to alt-country classics like Copperhead Road, I Feel Alright and Hard-Core Troubadour, they'll be stripped-down versions. But that's fine by us -- Earle is probably a killer storyteller who will turn this into a brilliantly different night in Ybor City.
We did not ask specifically if Earle will be joined onstage by Bubbles from The Wire, but we assume that goes without saying.

The Best Personalized Homepages
Personalized homepages have been around for a while. These are pages that receive feeds and allow you to interact with your entire list of favorite sites, right from your homepage. These pages offer you various services like RSS readers, email clients, games, and a lot more in the form of widgets. Here are three of the best-known startup pages on the Internet today...
If you're the type who practically lives off Google, via Google Docs, Calendar, Gmail, Orkut, Reader, etc. the choice is pretty clear already. iGooogle is the most compatible startup page you will find with these applications. The design is pretty minimalist, but considering that the biggest selling point of Google is its simplicity, I can't cut any points for that. I can, however cut points for blandness.
What I like best is that the Google search bar is permanently integrated into the page header – this not only cuts down your need to look for a good Google search widget but also ensures that your cursor is always present in the search bar by default when the page loads, so you can just type away your query when at iGoogle.
You can have multiple tabs on your homepage, and classify widgets according to category or usefulness. The vast widget library covers almost everything you'll want, and configuring and personalizing widgets is very straightforward. You can add a personal touch by selecting custom headers for your page, many of which change according to the time of the day. You can even create personal widgets, without the need to know any HTML and other programming languages. It's true these widgets tend to be a bit limited in nature, but it's still a great value-add.
The biggest gripe I have with iGoogle is its loading time. Of all the personal homepages I tested, iGoogle took the longest to fire up. It also has a limitation of having only three columns of widgets per page. Considering I use a widescreen monitor at 1680x1050 resolution, I could easily make space for a couple more columns per page.
All said, the page's 'Google compatibility', vast widget library, and personalization options make it a great startup option.

How to Back Up Your Facebook Data
- How to Back Up Your Facebook Data
- Verification
- What's Actually Included?
Facebook users get shaken up every few weeks with some kind of threat, whether it's regarding privacy issues from within the social network itself, or outside sources—like the now-rescinded threat from Anonymous to destroy Facebook entirely in November. If your photos, friends' contact information, and other important data are wrapped up in your Facebook account and nowhere else, it's not a bad idea to download a copy of all of it (and back up your other data, too) for safe keeping.
The site does permit users to download a Zip file of all their Facebook data, including wall photos, profile pictures, and messages, but I doubt many users have gone through the process, so few know how it actually works—what happens, how long it takes, and what steps are required.
The company makes it sounds easy enough, but in typical Facebook fashion, it's a lot trickier than you'd think. It took me about 80 minutes, start to finish, although most of that time (an hour) was spent waiting for an email for verification. It also took me two shots before I passed the verification test, and seeing as I am indeed who I say I am, I was rather surprised the test was so hard that I couldn't pass it the first time around. It's not a fool-proof test by any means, as you'll see in this step-by-step walkthrough of the process, complete with screens shots at every stage.
On the one hand, it does seem like Facebook made a good faith effort at security. It makes sense that it should be tough to download all your data from the site that hosts more user-uploaded personal information than perhaps any other. On the other hand, the verification process is very odd, and it wouldn't be hard for someone who's not you to pass it if they did a little poking around online.
Before you try to back up your Facebook photos, message history, and information, make sure you know what you're getting into, and set aside enough time to do it. November 5 is sooner than you think.
1. Find the Link
Go to Account (upper right).
Select Account Settings.
Find and click the little link at the bottom that reads "Download a copy of your Facebook data" (why doesn't it appear in bold like the other important items on the page?).
Click Start My Archive.
2. Wait (and Wait) for an Email
Wait for an email letting you know the archive has been created. For me, this step took about an hour (although the Facebook account I used to test didn't have very much in it, so it could take longer for others).

A RINGWOOD school welcomed a visitor from China, who was interested in its movement techniques.
Teacher Wan Qi, pictured, a dance and movement specialist, flew 5,000 miles to spend a week at the Ringwood Waldorf School.
Wan Qi teaches at the first ever Steiner school in mainland China, in the Chengdu Waldorf School in Szechuan Province.
She made the trip to Hampshire to witness how the Ringwood school teaches a special therapeutic form of movement called Eurythmy.
She said: "It has been an amazing experience to see how the children at Ringwood Waldorf School are taught this wonderful form of movement, which makes huge improvements to a young person's sense of co-ordination and balance.
"I am really excited about taking this back home and showing these invaluable skills to our children."
There are now more than 1,000 Steiner schools and teaching |centres worldwide, making it the fastest growing form of alternative education.
The curriculum concentrates on the "natural development of the child".
Children join the kindergarten from three and do not begin |formal education until they are six.
The school is currently pioneering the European Waldorf Diploma, which will be academically equivalent to A-levels and the German Abitur, and will be a university entrance qualification.
The school already has strong links with other Steiner schools, including ones in Sierra Leone and Estonia.
It also takes part in group exchanges with children from across Europe.
Nigel Revill, the school's administrator, said: "Our children are learning so much from our involvement with schools across the world.
"We are very excited to be involved with Chengdu School and hope to extend the hand of friendship even further."

Seattle -- New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Seattle, top the list of the strongest retail real estate markets, according to Colliers International's "Third Quarter 2011 North American Retail Highlights" report. The weakest markets include Phoenix, Detroit, Atlanta and Las Vegas, which continue to experience vacancy rates at or above 15%.
The study finds that the national retail real estate sector will likely close 2011 much as it began: in a slow growth mode and with a wait-and-see attitude among investors, developers and retailers alike. Aside from strong performers, publicly traded companies, investors and retailers are likely to be conservative with their real estate plans until at least the middle of 2012.
According to the report, the third quarter national retail real estate vacancy rate was flat quarter-over-quarter, at 10.8%, a rate that has experienced little variation over the past eight quarters. On a positive note, absorption increased nearly nine-fold quarter-over-quarter, to 5.1 million sq. ft., the nation's highest level in more than two years. In addition, approximately three-quarters of the 60 retail markets Colliers tracks recorded positive absorption year-to-date, led by Denver (+1.2 million sq. ft.), Houston (+749,000 sq. ft.) and Greenville/Spartanburg (+623,000 sq. ft.). Leasing activity is still moderate, with average asking rents essentially flat, at $15.52 per square foot.
One of the quarter's biggest stories was Borders' liquidation of its remaining 399 stores, with an estimated $1 billion+ in lease obligations. The stores, many in "A" locations, caught the eye of more than a dozen interested parties, including Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million (which purchased 14 Borders leases), college bookstores, grocers, Hhgregg, Ross and luxury discounters. Landlords face significantly tougher economics, often having to backfill these vacated spaces with replacement retailers paying as much as 40% to 50% less in rent, as Borders' pricier build-outs had driven up occupancy costs no longer sustainable in the current market.
"We remain in a complex operating environment, and reflecting the overall economy, retail real estate will face near-term challenges and may even see some further contraction," said Dylan Taylor, chief executive officer for Colliers International in the United States. "But there is pent-up demand for quality assets with consumers eager to resume strong spending habits. Once the overall market stabilizes, the retail sector is poised for a strong rebound."
Additional highlights from the full research report, which analyzed the 60 largest retail markets in the nation, are listed below:

I'm in love with funny, honest Rae Earl and her new gang of mates
Channel 4 are brilliant at producing cult classic dramas. My favourite shows of the last few years are all Channel 4 productions – Misfits, Fresh Meat, Sugar Rush – and all revolve around teenage angst.
It's a topic that doesn't get old (even if I'm getting older).
I don't think anybody forgets how hard it was being an adolescent. Boys! Bad skin! Wearing a swimming costume in front of your crush! Every day was a minefield.
And I have high hopes for My Mad Fat Diary.
The show is a dramatisation of Rae Earl's real life diaries, and tells the story of Rae – a 16 year old, 16-and-a-half stone girl – who's just got out of a psychiatric hospital.
She's mad about boys, mad about really good music (the soundtrack is one of the show's best bits – think Blur, Morrissey and the Beastie Boys and you're there), and even more fixated on keeping her 'mad' past a secret from her new mates.
The show gives a really refreshing look at mental health. It's such a big subject and it needs to be tackled more.
In episode one I could already see that 'best mate' Chloe is going to become a TOTAL bitchy frenemy to Rae.
I love frenemy storylines. We've all been there, right?
And Sharon Rooney as Rae is brilliant. She's got these wide magnetic eyes that suck you in. I just want to give her a hug and tell her that it's all going to be ok.
I can't wait for next week's episode. This is definitely the coolest new show on TV right now.
* My Mad Fat Diary is on E4 on Mondays at 10pm
