George Prezioso has spent a good deal of his 93 years in planes — and there were times he thought he might die in one.
As a crewman on a B-17 bomber during World War II, Prezioso saw his share of lives lost — enemy fighters, friends, fellow crewmen. In 1943, he thought his own end was upon him when a now-legendary bomber called Black Jack crashed in the Pacific just off the island of New Guinea.
"There's a lot of memories good and bad," the Belleville native said as he climbed into yet another B-17 during a ceremony to honor the nation's veterans. "You lose your buddy over here; you lose your waist gunner and have him stretched out on the floor. Those are the sad ones, but then a lot of good ones: We came home, we came back."
Prezioso was one of a handful of veterans honored during Thursday's ceremonial flight hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association at Essex County Airport. He and others were ushered aboard a refurbished B-17, which took off from the airstrip. After a short flight, the B-17 returned to the ground and Prezioso and others chatted about the past and the memories that flooded back.
Prezioso said being in the plane's cockpit brought a tragic recollection of a meal that was never eaten.
Prezioso is the last surviving crew member of Black Jack, which was found on the ocean floor in 1986. He said he continues to fly in old warplanes to rejuvenate the memories.
And that's exactly what organizers said they hope the flights accomplish.
George Daubner, an Experimental Aircraft Association B-17 program manager, said the flights are an opportunity for veterans to "reminisce and reconnect with that airplane." The association charges the public for ground and flight tours of the B-17, but offers them free to veterans.
Crosby "Bing" Kearsley, a member of the Fairfield experimental-aircraft chapter and a Korean War veteran, said money the organization makes goes toward restoring the old war birds. During World War II, he said, 11,000 B-17s were built but only about two dozen are left.
"We want to maintain them," Kearsley said, "To let people know what was before them, which actually is the reason why they're still here."
Prezioso said he's been flying since he was 16 and often recalls his flying and his four years experience in the Air Force. Five times, his airplane went down — three times over the ocean and twice on land — and twice his family was told he was dead.
When he returned home from war, Prezioso got a job building engines and then later worked at what was then Newark International Airport, inspecting aircraft. He said he just could never get away from airplanes.
And he still flies. He piloted his nephew's plane about 2½ years ago, and Thursday was the third time he flew on a restored warplane.
"I'd rather die in a plane than anywhere," Prezioso said. "That's the closest time you'll ever get to heaven is in a plane. That's beautiful when you're up there — you don't have to worry about the next-door neighbor or who's going to cut in front of you with their car. You're up there free, like a bird."
This article misstated the cost of some flight tours aboard a refurbished B-17 bomber. The Experimental Aircraft Association charges a fee to veterans for public flight tours however, veterans who are invited on flights with the media, are able to fly for free.

|I would love to include FA info if anyone has it.

John Sherman came to this area around 2000 and did the FAs of some of these great boulder problems. A few of us locals liked to mess around here well before that, but when he showed I remember he climbed some things that previously we thought were very unlikely and futuristic. (Remember, also, that Todd Skinner grew up around here and it is likely that he did many problems without reporting them that have been claimed as "FAs" by others).
I grew up a few miles away from "Stonehenge" and came dozens of times without ever seeing chalk on the boulders. I used to call the proud centerpiece boulder with the overhanging face the "Old Impossible Boulder," as I used to flail away with my parents watching and saying it couldn't be done! I guess others have found another name for it now...
I know some lines on the premier boulder pictured here are quite moderate, but they were proud, likely virgin lines and before they had chalk on them - I personally used to walk away empty-handed more often than not. Also, when Sherman showed up we found out how useful spotting, crashpads, and a little strategy could be!
The arete to the right of the overhang is really good (and also goes from a sitstart with little added difficulty), and would be classic in any area. The slab problem is equally worthwhile! Also, the classic arete to the left of the overhang has been done...and several lines go up the center of the overhanging face, utilizing sharp, incut pockets. Spotting is crucial here, as a backbreaking boulder lurks below. Many other worthwhile boulders exist, mostly featuring tall slabs, gritty cracks, and crystal pinching.
This is a GREAT area that used to be a kind of a secret. In recent years, the area has been used and abused... Some people (probably high school kids) come here and leave hundreds of cartridges on the ground as they shoot the little critters that hang out everywhere. When they can't find anything else, they shoot holes in the rock for target practice or shoot clay pidgeons. It seems to be a popular party spot too. I have no problem with this by itself, but I wish they would clean up after themselves. Some asshole even spraypainted beautiful Old Impossible! So, if you come here, please bring a trashbag and do a public service by picking up a little, even if you've had nothing to do with the littering problem. Every time I come here, I am a little saddened by the broken glass and crumpled cans that I find strewn about in this special and secluded haunt.

|Tristan, thank you for that unique piece of history.
By Zach Thompson

this is a great boulder and it is a shame that it was damaged. i have spent a lot of time with friends on this piece which i would say is one of the best climbs there. if you go though try to bring as many friends as you can and as many pads. there is a rock at the bottom of Drule Cup that can be a backbreaker. it is in perfect line with the overhanging mantle at the top of the problem. (see pictures) pop that and you will definatly need some good spotters and be able to take a hit. i love this problem though. drule cup is a great line and fun too!
sidenote. most of the sport climbs in the area are 3 to 4 bolt lines and some would even be concidered highballs if the landings were better. there is nothing over 50 feet so dont pack your 70m up there with you. we do it with half a 50m and it works great. it is a supper fun place to go after work or in the evening when it cools. and please pick up your junk and trash.

How can u blame him for some spammer emailing it using ur address as a source?
He is the responsible party for mail originated from the pduck.com domain. The minute his auto-responder fired off incorrectly, he became a spammer. When he ignored requests to stop, he became a _willful_ spammer.This is how I can blame him, and why an un-programmable auto-responder is now pretty useless.

A complaint filed by an engineer working at the Hanford Nuclear site, asserts that the Department of Energy has engaged in a pattern of supporting whistleblower retaliation. Walter Tamosaitis, an engineer working for URS Corp. at the Hanford Nuclear site, alleges that he was assigned menial duties after he raised safety concerns about the URS Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
Under the Energy Reorganization Act, employers are barred from discharging or discriminating against any employee who has engaged in protected activity by notifying their employer of energy violations. Tamosaitis' complaint states he was targeted by the DOE Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management, Ines Triay, DOE site manager at the Hanford Office of River Protection, Shirley Olinger, and DOE federal project director for the WTP project, Dale Knudson after he raised his safety concerns. Furthermore, Tamosaitis contends that Knudson was directly involved in Tamosaitis' transfer from the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
Moreover, the complaint alleges that the DOE stands behind contractors who engage in whistleblower retaliation rather than the whistleblower. In the present matter, DOE managers purportedly aided URS in carrying out unsafe practices at the Hanford Waste and Treatment Plant, and in some cases, the DOE turned a blind eye to contractor retaliation against employees who opposed unsafe conditions.
Considering the government's growing interest in whistleblower protection and the cunningness of employers to hide their retaliatory motives, it will be interesting to see what the court's position, if any, will be.

text: Hi folks! I got a milestone (droidx) since 3 years now and I'm ready to move to another one since my contract ends at the end of the month. I was really tempted by the Nexus 4 last fall but since it was unavailable, I though I would go with the Samsung Galaxy S3. But today, Nexus 4 is now available, both at Google Store and to one carrier in Canada, Videotron. I have several choices now but I don't know phones enough to make a good choice. Here's my options; - Stay at Telus with a 6Gb plan for 60$ a month (with a S3) - Switch to Videotron with 1Gb plan for 50$ a month (with a N4) - Buy a N4 directly at Google Store and browse offers as I like without 3-years contract. As a matter of facts, I don't use more than 500mb per month so the 6Gb is a bit overkill. Though, I'm sure I won't be able to find such offer anywhere else. Additionnaly, the S3 and N4 are at the same price (599$) without contract. But as far as I understand, S3 is better for the same price, am I correct? Is N4 at Google Store is available US-only ? Thanks a lot for your help, changing once each 3 years make the choice hard to make. Regards

Doctrine and Covenants 29:7—Who Are the Elect?
The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that "the elect meant to be elected [chosen] to a certain work" (History of the Church,4:552).
"In a general sense, the elect are those both within and without the Church who love the Lord and are with full purpose of heart doing all within their power to live close to the directions of his spirit.
"President George Q. Cannon [who was a counselor in the First Presidency] said, 'All mankind are elected to be saved. No man is a tare unless his conduct makes him such.'([Gospel Truth,]1:140.) The elect outside of the Church are the 'sheep' who hear the voiceof the Master Shepherd, obey that voice, and are received into the Church (Mosiah 26:21–28). These are the elect whom the missionaries are admonished to gather (D&C 29:7)" (Hoyt W. Brewster Jr.,Doctrine and Covenants Encyclopedia[1988], 148).
Doctrine and Covenants 29:35–39—What Is Agency? Why Is It So Sacred?
Agency is the freedom to choose and act, andDoctrine and Covenants 29:35–39illustrates how important and sacred that freedom is to our Heavenly Father. Rather than violate their agency, He allowed one-third of His children, led by the devil, to rebel. Our mortal probation is organized to preserve our agency.
Elder Bruce R. McConkie, who was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, explained what is necessary for agency to exist: "Four great principles must be in force if there is to be agency: 1. Laws must exist, laws ordained by an Omnipotent power, laws which can be obeyed or disobeyed; 2. Opposites must exist—good and evil, virtue and vice, right and wrong—that is, there must be an opposition, one force pulling one way and another pulling the other; 3. A knowledge of good and evil must be had by those who are to enjoy the agency, that is, they must know the difference between the opposites; and 4. An unfettered power of choice must prevail" (Mormon Doctrine,2nd ed. [1966], 26).

What will happen before the Second Coming? (vv. 14–21).
What will happen at the end of the thousand years? (vv. 22–30).

What do these verses teach about the Fall and redemption? (vv. 40–50).

Unfortunately, this time around, I do not have an epic story about my adventures in the Great North Woods. I know, I know. We all loved to hear about what crazy expedition I have gone on next. But today, I am going to talk about something just as equally exciting, primitive fire. Primitive fire is one of my favorite hobbies, and it just so happens to be my most popular program at Umbagog Lake. This doesn't surprise me because, after all, who doesn't like working with fire? From the moment we learn of its existence we are captivated by the mystical properties of fire, gazing into the mesmerizing flames as they flicker in the cool night air. Nowadays anyone can make a fire instantly with just a flick of a match, or the click of a lighter, but that is not what I teach in my program. I teach my audience how to use a bow-drill kit.
A bow-drill kit is a very simple tool to start a fire. It consists of six parts: a bow, handhold, fireboard, drill, tinder bundle, and a coal catcher. Unless you know how to make cordage from natural materials, all but the cordage for the bow can be easily obtained in nature. I typically make my bows out of curved branches, but you can use anything as long as it has a nice curve in it. The handhold can also be made of just about anything too, but I tend to use a small chunk of wood. The fireboard and the drill are the key components here. I make those out of cedar wood because, through experimentation, I find that cedar works best. Theoretically, you can use just about any wood that you can make a mark into with your fingernail. I make my tinder bundles out shredded cedar bark, but you can use anything that is light and fluffy and easy to ignite. Finally the coal catcher is anything that you can fit under the fireboard to catch your coal. You could use a leaf, a piece of bark, anything flat and dry. Otherwise you would have to pick the coal up with your hands, and we all know how that would turn out.
Once you have all these materials you are ready to start. All you need to do is cut a small notch into your fireboard. This is where all your wood dust from your drill and fireboard will collect. Then you just wrap the bow around the drill, nock the drill between your handhold and the fireboard (where you placed your notch), and then just play the cello. As the bow moves back and forth the cordage will spin the drill which grinds into the fireboard. This will produce wood dust which will hopefully fall into the beautiful notch you just made. As it collects, the friction from the drill rubbing into the fireboard will, eventually, ignite your dust into a coal baby. Then, you have to nurture that coal baby by gently placing it in its tinder bundle nest and lightly blowing it into life. Viola you have fire! Now, I make this sound really easy. In reality primitive fires take a lot of hard work and determination. It took me about a month and a half to produce my first coal baby. So when someone from my audience manages to produce a coal, we celebrate by busting out the marshmallows. Maybe that person can be you.

Comaprison of Data Mining and Auditing Tools
Auditing means the review of transaction in order to detect frauds and errors in the transactions. For the process of auditing auditor has to analyze a large volume of data that is very difficult to perform manual so the authors apply some computer based auditing tools. In this paper, they describe some computer based auditing tool like IDEA and also data mining tools. Based on the characteristic feature of both IDEA and Data mining tools they have compared both the tools.

THE reluctance of high street banks to fund small-scale residential developments has been credited with propelling the growth of Close Brothers' property finance division in Scotland in the past five years.
The merchant bank set up the Edinburgh operation at the height of the Great Recession in 2009.
Loading article content
And director Stuart Anthony said the timing proved to be ideal, with Close Brothers stepping in to provide the type of finance the mainstream banks have shunned since the financial crash.
The Edinburgh office specialises in backing private developers, typically to fund residential projects but also commercial property ventures.
Mr Anthony said: "It's probably the sector the banks have had the least appetite for in the last five or six years. We have been backing more than £100million [of] new development projects every year over the last five or six years, so I think really we have managed to fill a gap in the market that most of the big banks have stopped lending [to] or shown very little appetite [for].
"With the three main Scottish banks continuing to manage their historic loan books, as opposed to writing new business - or, in the case of Clydesdale, having withdrawn completely from commercial [real estate] lending - this has created some excellent opportunities for Close Brothers.
"Indeed, as a bank, this five-year period has seen the size of our UK loan book more than double."
Mr Anthony, who is from Fife, returned to Scotland to head the launch five years ago, after spells with Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch in London. Since then, he said, a "prudent, considered approach" has allowed Close to grow "sustainably, good times and bad".
Among the projects it has backed are a range of new-build residential developments with Westpoint Homes in the Glasgow suburbs of Bearsden and Newton Mearns.
It recently funded a mixed residential and retail scheme on the site of the former service station on Great Western Road, in Glasgow, where 50 apartments and a Tesco store have been developed following a long-running planning battle.
It has also worked with the Chris Stewart Group, which converted Advocate's Close in Edinburgh's Old Town, and Sundial Properties, which specialises in converting listed buildings into residential accommodation in the Scottish capital.
Other clients include Eastacre in St Andrews, although the bulk of the projects it backs are in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
Although the economic recovery is showing signs of gathering pace, Mr Anthony said there was no indication that mainstream banks were moving back into the kind of deals Close specialises in.
Noting they are more likely to back high-volume housebuilders which operate around the UK than developers looking to borrow £1 million, he said: "They still have massive property exposure they are dealing with, so to lend on new projects ... they are not showing much enthusiasm."
Asked for his views on the economy, Mr Anthony noted the property sector is looking bright, aided by the Help to Buy scheme.
He said: "Interest rates are still low and even if they go up, they will still be historically quite low, so I think that the property industry is very positive and the economy certainly seems to be on the up.
"The referendum might slow things down a bit in the summer, but we will see what happens there.
"All the schemes we are funding are generally selling off-plan. By the time construction is finished, the majority of units, whether it's blocks of flats in the city centre or family housing, are generally all sold, which is very positive."
Asked if the uncertainty brought by the independence debate had caused any uncertainty in the market, he added: "I suspect August or September will probably be quite quiet. But at the moment, things are fairly normal.
"Certainly commercial property, a lot of London-based funds are probably not looking at Scotland at the moment until post-September, as you can understand."

I booked the hotel with a friend because of the closeness to NEC.
We went for a two days conference in Birmingham. It was difficult to locate, when we eventually located the hotel, the double bed in the room was small for two people. Breakfast was not bad. The hotel needs total refurbishment.

8. Eligible items. You agree that you will use the Service to deposit only checks as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC ("Reg CC"), that are payable to, and indorsed by, you. You agree that the image of the check transmitted to Northway Bank shall be deemed an "item" within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") and you are bound by all applicable provisions of the UCC.
You agree that you will not use the Service to photograph and deposit any checks or other items as shown below which shall be considered ineligible items:
9. Image Quality. The image of an item transmitted to Northway Bank using the Service must be legible, including the MICR data. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by ANSI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.
Customer is solely responsible for the inspection of all electronic items to ensure legibility of the Check image and all information on an original Check is accurately photographed and legible. Customer acknowledges that image technology may not capture all security features contained in the original Check(s) and agrees to assume any and all losses resulting from claims based on security features that do not survive the image process. Customer acknowledges that Bank does not verify or inspect the accuracy, legibility or quality of the electronic item prior to processing an electronic item. Bank reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time to correct, alter or amend data submitted in an electronic item in accordance with general banking and check collection practices to facilitate processing of the Check, but Bank shall have no obligation to effect such a repair.
10. Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to endorse any item transmitted through the Service then mark as "For deposit only, Northway Bank account #______" or as otherwise instructed by Northway Bank. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as Northway Bank may establish from time to time.
11. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. If we reject an item due to image quality, you will be notified that we cannot read the check and you will be required to re-take the photo. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from Northway Bank that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time, any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.
Bank reserves the right at any time to refuse the deposit or processing of an electronic item, and to return same to Customer without prior notice. Bank may request that Customer deposit the original Check for processing and collection, instead of the electronic item. Bank shall not be liable to Customer for (i) failure to process or collect an electronic item; (ii) any error that results in processing or collecting an electronic item because of Customer's failure to provide Bank with full and correct data or dollar amount from the original Check, or an accurate and legible of the original Check; and (iii) any Check that violates this Addendum, or any other agreement between Customer and Bank. Customer agrees that Bank may charge the account of Customer for any and all returned items that relate to original Check(s) deposited with Bank.
12. Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Northway Bank may delay availability of funds based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as Northway Bank, in its sole discretion, deems relevant. In addition, Customer agrees to follow The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, as it may be amended from time to time, and Regulation CC of the Federal Reserve Board ("Check 21 Act") for all checks deposited where applicable.
13. Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from Northway Bank that we have received the image of an item, you agree to prominently mark the item as "Electronically Presented" or "VOID" and are responsible for the storage and destruction, in a secure and confidential manner, of the original Checks used to create an electronic item. The original Checks will be properly disposed after thirty (30) calendar days from the date of deposit unless otherwise agreed to in writing to ensure that it is not represented for payment. And, you agree never to represent the item. You will promptly provide any retained item, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to Northway Bank if requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for Northway Bank's audit purposes.
Customer also agrees to review and validate the accuracy of the Check data captured including the amount of the check and the legibility of the check image through the Service prior to transmission of the image. Customer will carefully examine any statement, notification or confirmation of a transaction and notify Bank within thirty (30) days of the statement date of any errors, discrepancies or fraudulent transactions. Customer agrees that thirty (30) days is a commercially reasonable time for Customer to notify Bank of errors, discrepancies or fraudulent transactions, unless any other agreements, laws, rules or regulations provide for a shorter time.
14. Deposit Limits. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of deposits that you transmit using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Addendum, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.

A few days ago, "Geographic Travels with Catholicgauze" had a great post about the size of the crowd at Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity".
It seems that conservatives have been passing around an image that shows Glenn Beck's rally with a much larger crowd, but the images were taken from slightly different viewpoints to make thing look different than they actually were. He uses some great images (with overhead maps) to show that the rallies were roughly the same size.
You'll want to read his full post to see how he put it all together, but it makes sense.
The reason I bring this up is because GeoEye just released a beautiful high-res image of the crowd that day. While it doesn't definitively answer the question of which rally was larger (and I'd rather avoid the politics of determining that), it certainly shows quite a huge crowd at Stewart's rally:
To view it in Google Earth, I've taken the high-res version of the image and created an image overlay for it. Download that file and you can zoom down pretty close to check it out.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Dang I love saying that. Cache is a two stage multi. Look for clues at the posted coordinates.
Once upon a time there was a "little" fellow from the species Rana catesbiana that got tired of dodging being potential gator bait (No, not the cache) so he hopped down the trail past Gatorbait (the cache) trying to find a place to permanently escape those pesky gators.
He settled on a spot just before the Texas Challenge 2007 and made his presence known to a select few daring all to find his location. He was supposed to be one of the First to Find caches during the Challenge. Much to the chagrin of the only person who knew his location, no one was up to the challenge of finding this little guy and the final hidden "treasure".
I don't understand why a "slight" error in listing coordinates caused a problem. Three's and eight's really do look alike. They only pointed 267 feet away from the actual location. Shouldn't experienced Texas Challenger cachers be able to deal with that slight error in distance? I guess not.
I put this cache back in the original location, changed the final container to an ammo can, and yes, listed the CORRECT coordinates for the first stage above. So this is your chance to find an actual cache location from Texas Challenge 2007.
Please come out and enjoy some caching at Brazos Bend State Park and find this cache in a part of the park that until now did not have caches. Remember there is an entry fee into Texas State Parks or better yet, stop and buy an annual pass!!
Congratulations to Piman314 for FTF!!!

There is something peculiar about how the world, the UN included, has been dealing lately with Israel's uncontested repression of human rights and violations of international law. The most common concern raised in this respect is "Israel's best interest.†If something is good for Israel, then the world should push for its implementation, if not, then no need. The United States' threats of using its veto in the UN Security Council and its relentless other efforts in torpedoing the UN's now thwarted attempt to send fact-finders to Jenin can be understood in light of its role as Israel's real defensive shield; but the complicity of the UN chief and the European Union can hardly be explained, except if seen in the context of promoting what's "best for Israel.â€
After it audaciously refused to comply with UN Security Council resolutions calling for its withdrawal from recently occupied Palestinian territories, the Israeli government outdid itself when it arrogantly announced that unless "its conditions are satisfactorily met†by the UN, it would not allow the team's entry. As a result, Kofi Annan tried to "convince†the Israeli prime minister to merely relax those conditions. Bolstered by the boundless support from the US Congress, and, to a slightly lesser extent, from the Bush Administration, Sharon conducted his negotiations with the UN from a position of strength, which allowed him to deal with Annan with a little more respect than he usually gives to Arafat. Strikingly, he even applied to the UN the same logic of dictates and evolving conditions often used with the pathetically disadvantaged Palestinian "negotiators.†Despite all that, Annan bent over backwards in accommodating several of the unusual Israeli terms. According to a report in the Guardian, "The UN has already bowed to Israel's demand that the identity of soldiers who testify should remain secret, and that they will not have their evidence used against them.†Furthermore, the very composition of the Jenin team was also modified to meet some Israeli "legitimate concerns.â€
Even after all this unprecedented tolerance exhibited by the UN, the Israeli communications minister, Reuven Rivlin, chastised the Jenin intiative saying, "This awful United Nations committee is out to get us, and is likely to smear Israel and to force us to do things which Israel is not prepared even to hear about, such as interrogating soldiers and officers who took part in the fighting.†Singing the same tune, the more "dovish†Shimon Peres insisted on Israel's "right†to decide who would testify, and superciliously declared, "Israel won't sit in the place of the accused. Israel will sit in the place of the accuser. This is an attempt to place baseless blame, almost a blood libel, on Israel.â€
To calm Israel's "understandable†fears, Annan still argued that it was "best†for Israel to "put behind us†all the rumours, and to dispel "the long shadow which has been cast over Jenin,†for otherwise it "will be with us for a while.†Annan's preoccupation with the "shadow†rather than the reality the hard evidence collected meticulously by human rights organizations, including the latest damning report by Human Rights Watch implied that the accusations leveled against Israel were grossly exaggerated or simply illusionary. Consequently, he helped defuse some of the world fury over Israel. Assuading Israel's "PR crisis†therefore became the prevalent, and oft repeated, justification for the investigation, and not the fact that there was compelling evidence of horrific war crimes committed by Israel, whereby real people were killed, or injured and left to die without medical attention, real houses were demolished on top of their inhabitants and real humans were used as shields by the merciless Israeli soldiers. It wasn't in "Israel's best interest†then to focus on those real but marginal details.
Conforming to the same shameless theme, the European Union sheepishly deplored "the fact that…the [UN] team is unable to go to the region and begin its mission.†They could not have invented a longer and safer detour! Even Israel's nemesis on the team, the former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Cornelio Sommaruga, "regretted†the cancellation of the mission only because it could have made "a contribution to a certain détente in the region.†He also "felt†that Israel had "nothing to hide.†Apparently, the condemning reports issued by the Red Cross on Jenin had not raised his interest.
Adding insult to injury, the UN's special representative in the region, Terje Larson, in the aftermath of Israel's "Defensive Shield†and his own falling out of favour in Israeli eyes for mildly describing the devastation he witnessed in Jenin, flew to Beirut to impress upon the Lebanese government the absolute sanctity of the UN-designated "blue line,†loyally emulating the previous visit by the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, days before that. The fact that Israel had just crossed all the "red lines†were lost on the seasoned European diplomat. He also joined the chorus trying to convince Israel to accept the fact-finding mission, because it was "good for Israel.â€
Iraq, in comparison, has been suffering for more than eleven years of utterly inhumane sanctions due to its alleged non conformance to certain aspects of UN resolutions. Hardly anyone at the UN bothered to ask where the Iraqis' "best interest†lied.
In Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, among other places where international organizations conducted investigations into war crimes, what was "good†for those countries was emphatically decided as it ought to be by international bodies, independently of the wishes, the desires, or the "legitimate concerns†of the respective governments. After all, when someone, or some political entity, is accused of committing war crimes or crimes against humanity, their preferences, not to mention their conditions, as to how the investigations should be conducted, should hardly be taken into consideration, for the obvious reason that they have an inherent conflict of interest that prevents them from being sufficiently transparent or forthright.
It would be unfair, though, to put all the blame for this hypocrisy on the shoulders of the UN and the Europeans, since Arab leaders, including the Palestinian chairman, have made a habit of justifying their political ideas based on the "Israel's-best-interest†logic. Mr. Arafat's strongest argument against the Israeli siege of his headquarters was: how can I fight terror when you've confined me and destroyed most of my security tools? Several Arab leaders have presented to the US similar arguments about the need to strengthen Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, since that was "the only assurance for Israel's security.†Indeed, most Palestinian and Arab leaders have strived in recent years to sell the idea of a Palestinian state as the "best security guarantee†for Israel. Manifestly, their argument was quite persuasive for Mr. Bush, as well as several Israeli leaders, who have turned into strong advocates even nagging ones, in the former case of a Palestinian "state.†Hence the creatively novel adjective, "viable,†came about to describe a necessary requirement of such a state, for if it were to die, so would Israel's security and along with it Israel's "best interest.â€
What then would have satisfied Israel's best interest in the Jenin ordeal, from Israel's own perspective, and not how all the "concerned†others perceived it? Perhaps a clue can be found in the following confession in Ha'aretz (April 27, 2002): "One [Israeli] official recalled this week that back when the UN committee was formed to evaluate compliance with the Grapes of Wrath understandings, Israeli-American coordination was so close that the investigation's main conclusions were agreed upon ahead of time.â€

NEW YORK -- The number of new people signing up for jobless benefits dropped last week, and a closely watched gauge of future economic activity rose more than expected in May, suggesting that the US economy can continue a sturdy expansion through the summer.
The Conference Board said its Composite Index of Leading Economic Indicators increased 0.5 percent to 116.5 in May after a 0.1 percent rise in April.
In another sign of a broadening recovery, the Labor Department's producer price index, a measure of prices before goods reach stores, posted the largest increase in more than a year.
While that raised some concerns about inflation, it also indicated that businesses are more confident in the economy's growth and able to raise wholesale prices.
The Labor Department reported yesterday that new applications filed for unemployment insurance fell a seasonally adjusted 15,000, to 336,000, the lowest level since May 8.
The Labor Department said its producer price index rose 0.8 percent in May after a 0.7 percent rise in April. It was the largest increase since a 1.3 percent spike in March 2003.
Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wachovia Securities in Charlotte, N.C., said ''it may be the last blast of really large price increases," noting that crude oil prices have come down in recent weeks and that other commodity prices, including lumber, have been softening.
The big question is how the Federal Reserve will read the latest data when it meets at the end of the month to review its interest rate policy.
''The real debate is whether this is a significant increase we're seeing here that has to be met with a more aggressive posture from the Federal Reserve," said Anthony Chan, senior managing director and chief economist at Banc One Investment Advisors in Columbus, Ohio. ''I don't see that in these numbers."
Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan has been sanguine about inflation, too. He told Congress earlier this week that he is not worried that the country is on the brink of a surge in inflation. Any rate increases by the Fed would be at a measured pace unless economic conditions change, he said.
Economists widely expect the Fed to boost short-term interest rates for the first time in four years at its next meeting June 29-30. The Fed's key short-term interest rate is at a 46-year low of 1 percent. Most economists are expecting a 0.25 percentage point increase.
The 0.5 percent rise in the Conference Board's index was larger than the 0.4 percent analysts had expected.
Ken Goldstein, economist for the New York-based business group, noted that the index has risen in 13 of the last 14 months. The latest numbers, he added, ''reflect a robust economic environment this spring and point to more of the same this summer."

iPhone thieves may still be able to access iMessages sent to the victim's replacement device, thanks to a bug on Apple's flagship smartphone.
iMessages is an Apple proprietary system for iOS 5 and an alternative to SMSes that allows iPhones to send text and multimedia for free over a data network.
The flaw, first reported by users on web forums after the October release of iOS 5, appears to bind a victims' iMessages to an iPhone once the service was activated.
Phone numbers and Apple IDs must be registered to use the service, a requirement that may contribute to the privacy breach.
The bug persisted even after a firmware restore, Ars Technica reported.
Apple has declined to comment on the security issue.
The effect of the flaw was graphically demonstrated by Gizmodo after it published a series of raunchy text messages and lewd photographs sent and received by an Apple engineer who fell victim to the flaw.
It appeared the engineer had inserted and later removed his SIM card while repairing a customers' iPhone.
The iMessages continued to arrive after the iPhone's firmware was restored.
iOS security expert and senior forensic scientist with viaForensics, Jonathan Zdziarski, told Ars Technica the issue may arise if the affected iPhone read from a cache containing the user's Apple ID and phone number, built when iMessage was first registered.
He said this could explain why the bug persisted after a firmware restoration.

ZURICH Assurance is to challenge the High Court judgement which looked to have finally ended its 24-year fight to build a massive new town near Micheldever.
The company intends to contest the ruling at the Court of Appeal.
Last week the High Court rejected Zurich's original challenge to Winchester's District Local Plan, which does not include its proposed development of 12,500 new homes on its land near Micheldever Station.
Mr Justice Sales dismissed all three strands of legal argument presented to him at a hearing in February.
Nearby residents hoped this would finally bring Zurich's battle to a close.
But a spokesperson for Zurich, formally Eagle Star Estates, said the company was "disappointed that the High Court rejected the terms of its legal challenge and ruled in favour of Winchester City Council's Adopted Joint Core Strategy.
"Zurich Assurance Ltd recognises the potential for housing development at Micheldever Station, located to the north of Winchester and we intend to appeal against the High Court's decision.
"In our view, there are a number of errors in the housing plan adopted by Winchester City Council in the Joint Core Strategy.
"Amongst the concerns are that the plan will provide an inadequate number of new local homes in the period to 2031.
"We appreciate the sensitivity of this matter, and we have no immediate plans to take forward any development proposal at Micheldever Station. However, it is important that we keep all options open.
"That is what our appeal against the High Court ruling will allow us to do."Z
urich's challenge to the district's planning blue print for the next 17 years - developed following years of extensive public consultation by Winchester City Council – is based on allegations technical errors were made by the inspector who examined the draft plans, making the Local Plan's adoption unlawful.
If this latest appeal proves successful it will threaten to derail the entire planning strategy for the area, giving Zurich and others the chance to promote their controversial developments.
The Dever Society, which comprises residents in and around Micheldever, has campaigned against the new town since 1990.
Chairman Douglas Paterson said: "Zurich are really pushing their luck, the ruling last week was pretty categorical.
"I think the judge's use of the word 'unmeritorious' is a pretty severe put down, it means 'you're wasting my time'.
"As I understand it if the appeal is 'unmeritorious' too Zurich will be liable for very substantial costs. But they clearly have a sniff of a huge windfall with the development so think it's worth it.
"I have the greatest admiration for the city council and planners who have made a hugely considered and democratic Local Plan. We have to hope that the processes higher up will continue to uphold it."
Winchester MP Steve Brine said: "This challenge shows a thorough discourtesy to us all and I thought Mr Justice Sales put it very well when he described Zurich's primary point of contention as 'contrived and unmeritorious'."

Voyager Recurring Character Returning In 'Shattered'By Christian
October 16, 2000 - 11:43 PM
Michelle Erica Green at Fandom is reporting that Martha Hackett (Seska) will return to Voyager in the upcoming episode 'Shattered', which is currently in production at Paramount.
As previously reported, in the episode a temporal anomaly causes different areas of the ship to shift to different eras in time, with Chakotay being the only crew member able to walk freely throughout the entire ship. In some areas, the ship will be reverted back to its first-or-second-season state, and it is presumably in this way that Seska will be returning.

text: From Academy Award-nominated documentarian Joe Berlinger (the Paradise Lost trilogy) comes the shocking true crime story of infamous gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Number 2 on America's Most Wanted list after Osama Bin Laden, Bulger terrorized the city of Boston for years without ever being charged with so much as a misdemeanor. Bulger was a monster, murdering over a dozen known victims, but did the FBI and local law enforcement give his reign of terror over South Boston a free pass? With shocking, never-before-seen evidence and unprecedented access, filmmaker Joe Berlinger shines new light on this gripping, still-evolving case, utilizing the sensational trial against Bulger as a springboard to explore corruption within the highest levels of law enforcement. Embedded for months with retired FBI agents, Massachusetts state police, victims, lawyers, gangsters, journalists, and federal prosecutors, Berlinger scrutinizes Bulger's relationship with the FBI and Department of Justice – an interaction that allowed him to reign over a criminal empire for decades. A mesmerizing and complex account of crime and corruption. Whitey relates a universal tale of human frailty, opportunism, and deception and reveals the often-elusive nature of truth and justice.

A woman additional district and sessions judge in Gwalior has quit her job after accusing a judge of the Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court of sexual harassment, a charge he has rejected and offered to face death penalty if found true.
Justice Lodha told PTI, "it is a very serious issue. All versions will have to be taken into account. Let me go through it."
He said the matter has not come up before him yet but the registry has informed him that it has received emails on the issue. He would deal with the issue appropriately when the papers are placed before him as "the matter cannot be left like this".
The woman judge concerned has sent a nine-page representation to the CJI stating that the high court judge had some months ago started showing "more than normal interest" in her work and had gradually started making "coloured remarks" about her.
The complaint narrates an incident in February this year at the marriage ceremony of a judicial officer where the high court judge had allegedly told her in the presence of her 16-year-old daughter that her work was excellent but "you are more beautiful than your work".
In December last year, the wife of a senior judicial officer had telephoned her to tell her that the judge was eager to see her perform a dance on an item song at his marriage anniversary, she said.
Having refused to fulfil "the illegal and malicious aspirations" of the high court judge, she was subjected to a great deal of harassment after she was transferred last month in the middle of the academic session of her daughter to a remote place, according to her complaint.
After her representation against the transfer did not succeed she had resigned on July 15 "in compelling, humiliating and disgraceful circumstances to save my dignity, womanhood, self esteem and career of my daughter", she said.
The high court judge sent a letter to the Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court today describing the allegations as "totally false" and expressing his willingness to face probe by the CBI or any other agency.
"If any allegation is proved I am ready even to face death penalty," the judge said although he added he did not want to face any trial by any court.
The high court judge's letter has been forwarded to the CJI by the Chief Justice of the MP High Court.
Meanwhile, a group of women activists led by former additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising called a press conference in New Delhi to demand impeachment of the high court judge and a thorough investigation into the complaint.
The activists, who included advocate Vrinda Grover and historian Uma Chakraborty, demanded that the woman judge's resignation should not be accepted and that the high court judge should be barred from work from tomorrow.
They appealed for bi-partisan support from political parties in their campaign for impeachment against the high court judge.

Meet the Speed Dial Developer
Why was Speed Dial created?
All internet users have their own favorite websites, and Speed Dial allows easy access to them with a single click from a newly created tab or window. Speed Dial also provides an easy way to preview the content, which can be refreshed in the background at periodic intervals. It even allows the possibility to launch folders, files and applications from it. It's a useful extension for both basic and power users.
What's next for Speed Dial
The number one requested feature is a way to synchronize the Speed Dial information online, and I'm hoping to implement it soon using Mozilla Weave or a custom solution. I'm also planning to add additional features, some small (like the ability to hide unused thumbnails) and some advanced ones, always trying to keep an easy to use, uncluttered interface. Plus, I'll be making any necessary updates to make it work with the newest Firefox version.

Pubcast #119: Bale-ing Out
We tried. We really tried. We lasted four minutes, mainly talking about things other than football, before Dan Silver started talking about Gareth Bale. Despite Dan's increasingly vocal man crush there was time for Mike, Jim, Andy and Jerome to get a word in edgeways and have a lively discussion that include the best blacked-up child featured on the show for at least a month. Aside from Mario Baby-telli and mercurial simian wingers, the Pubcasters argued about...
• PFA Player of the Year shouts
• Red Dwarf
• Audley Harrison vs. Racist Bulgarians
• Bobby Moore
• Beckham vs. Barton
• A stupid football fan called Dan (not our Dan)
• Port Vale fans stealing Gillingham hashtags
• John Carew joins Inter
• Bye Bye Schteve
• Sean Miller's leaving do
• Cravat Nick's missus and ANOTHER flirty footballer
• The horsemeat scandal strikes football
• Carling Cup final
• Super Heart
• And all the usual guff...

Banana-Bran Muffins
By the end of the week, any bananas left in the fruit bowl are past their prime--just right for these moist bran muffins. Add a handful of dark chocolate chips to entice children to enjoy a fiber-rich treat.
2 each large eggs
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium)
1 cup buttermilk (see Ingredient notes)
1 cup unprocessed wheat bran (see Ingredient notes)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Recipe Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in bananas, buttermilk, wheat bran, oil and vanilla.
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they'll be quite full). Sprinkle with walnuts, if using.
Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched lightly, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Ideas:
Ingredient notes: You can use buttermilk powder in place of fresh buttermilk. Or make "sour milk": mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk. Unprocessed wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel, removed during milling. Also known as miller's bran, it can be found in the baking section. Do not substitute bran cereal in this recipe.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Review by Arugal
"Gotta forge 'em all !"
Here we have another excellently fun Castlevania game from Konami !
Curse of Darkness (or CoD for short) is the second Playstation 2 Castlevania and also the third 3D (fourth if you count 'Castlevania 64''s two versions) one in the series. Now, many of fan have been disappointed with the lack of 2D Castlevanias on home consoles and are left with handhelds, but being 3D isn't all that bad and CoD shows that as it is very enjoyable. Taking place 3 years after 'Castlevania 3- Dracula's Curse'(for NES), CoD features a man named Hector who was once a Devil Forgemaster under Dracula, aiming for revenge against his old friend who set up the murder of his beloved. What is a Devil Forgemaster you ask ? Why, it is a person who can summon and raise Innocent Devils (I.D. for short) and have them help along your journey.
Throughout the game Hector acquires different types of I.D. that help you fight and gain experience points as you do(in turn they level up as well). These I.D. can evolve depending on certain circumstances. For example, equipping a certain weapon type (such as sword or axe) makes "Evo Crystals" drop from enemies you kill which the I.D. absorbs. Then after a certain amount they will evolve into a different form and gain new abilities. All I.D. have different "paths" they can take which will end up making them evolve into something different, each with their own abilities. Some need "secret" requirements to evolve as well. I.D. also will once in a while produce "devil shards" which will hatch into the devil type that made them, but at the first form - so you can always start a new one from the beginning. This "pokemon-esque" system makes it a lot of fun as it is very enjoyable to try and get all the devil types. You can only have one out at a time, although, you can carry quite a few with you to switch between. Later on in the game you get a storage to place some in as well. The I.D. also have "environmental" use, as in, some of the I.D. abilities are needed to get to a certain area or knock down a wall for example. I.D. are an important part of the game and are easy to use. They bring a lot of fun to this game and I can spend hours leveling my I.D. and evolving them.
Combat is very fun - combat is "hack 'n' slash" style that never gets old and there are many kinds of weapons to choose from and you can also make weapons and armours too ! CoD features a 'combine' system in which you can use materials you find or steal throughout the game to put together many different weapons and armours. This is the only way you can gain weapons and armours also. The control is all simple and easy, no frustrations and there is also NO slow-downs whatsoever. All in all, game-play is SUPER and FUN.
The game is produced by famous Koji Igarashi (IGA) and has a very well done story. It is accompanied by excellently done motion-captured CG movies with splendid voice acting. The game was originally done in English language as you can tell by the lip-sync and they fit the characters appropriately. The story is very captivating and the characters all come alive, as they where all designed by the great Ayami Kojima. It is all beautifully done. If you played 'Lament of Innocence' you know what to expect. The music in the game isn't quite 'Symphony of the Night' quality but it is good however. Many of the tunes, such as the one that plays in the Abandoned Castle, are very nicely composed and give the area it's feeling. I found the music to be very pleasant to listen to.
If you are a Castlevania fan, I say definitely get this. I found it to be a superb game. If you are new to the Castlevania series, it still has excellent game-play and fun to be had, but, the beauty of the game may not captivate you.
All in all, I give this game a 10/10 !
