The ac¬ tion was taken after DiitricL Com- mi>]sioner MncLarcn had .summon¬ ed the member!! of the Jerusalem Council and demanded that they issue n joint statement to the'resi¬ dents of the city calling upon thom tu halt the bloodshed thai has oc¬ curred in recent weeks. The Arabs agreed in principle that the issue of such a manifes¬ to might bo helpful in <jalming the turbulent situation but pointed out that they were in personal danger from terrorists if their names should appear on a document sign¬ ed also by Jews. It was then decid¬ ed that the Council unanimously re-solvo to urge the maintenance of pence and, onler but that the Jew¬ ish and Arab Councillors should issue separate appeals. Jerusa¬ lem merchants aro understood to havo agreed in in^nciple to a simi¬ lar declaration urging harmony be¬ tween Jews and Arabs, but they indicate fear to sign the 'public proclamation. Strong condemnation of reti^i- ations against Arabs because of murders of Jews v/as voiced in a statement issued, by the Jewish Agency Executive. "The assump¬ tion that retaliation is likely to terminate Arab terrorism is u dangerous delusion," the state¬ ment declares, pointing out that "tho organizers of Arab terror¬ ism arc unconcerned with the lives of their innocent brethren while any bloodshed strengthens Arab terrorists and promotes their po¬ litical ends," Becalling the restraint displayed by Jews in 193C, "coupjed with thoir coprageous self-defense", the Jewish , Agency cTiphasizes that thia ^conduct won Wio ^^ iv^apxir^^ and resnlted in t the cstab-] Ushment of a legally armed Jew¬ ish defcnne foice. After refer¬ ring to the Jewiah Agency's past repTrscntations to the Government for the fliippresnion of lawlessness and the "gratifying chiingo" in the Government's handling of the situation, the Jcv/ish Agency eon- tinut'S to urge the Government io per.=ievere in thi.s direction and en¬ able tho Jews adequately to par¬ ticipate in anti-terrorist activities. The Jewish Agency emphasizes that it opposes to the utmost any ri'talintlon against innocent peo¬ ple "which not only intensifies Arab terrorism bui mars tho moral record of PaWtine Jewry, hampering its political struggle and undermining its security." The manifesto concludes with the cx- presnion of confidence that all re¬ sponsible sections of the Yishuv will sel their fncei " against these di'igraceful deeds nnd with all means at their disposal will stamp out this evil from our midst." Forty-five Jews in various parts of Palestine have been arrested under the emergency regulations embodied in the prevention-of- crimo ordinance, it was announced by the Press Bureau of the Pales¬ tine Government, which comment¬ ed that the arrests had been made in connection with the disorders in Jerusalem, November 14, which resulted in tho death of seven Arabs and the killing of one Jew. Another Arab wounded at Beit Is¬ rael- succumbed to his injuries. Twenty-four of the arrested Jews were sentenced by the District Commissioner at Jaffa to varying terms afr Acre Jail, most of them receiving three-month sentences. Twenty-one others were placed un¬ der police surveillance-for indeter¬ minate periods. The more than two score Jews who were arrested in Tel Aviv, Haifa and other points were all Kevisionists, most of them members of tho Bctar, youth branch of the Ilevisionist Organi¬ zation, wlkose leader, Eric Jabotin- slcy, son of Vlafjimir, was included among those Bo\ged.,Others amonjf the arrobtfid were_Abbu Aehimeix ^^^fss^m^n^^pT^ Nev/ Advawtageows Way of Seiadiiag Money To Jews in Germany Thousands of Jewa in Germ.iny. are willing to emigrate from Ger¬ many but cannot do i,o nn foreign currency is not nvaihiblc to en¬ able thf» transfer of their savings.

I don't follow him, he weighs 75 lbs to my 135, so he can very easily pull me if I'm not watching his every move if he really wants to.

It's no secret that being an athlete these days is like a full-time job.
It's no secret that being an athlete these days is like a full-time job.
Club and travel teams have invaded the youth and high school sports scene. As soon as athletes finish up one season, it's on to the next with little break in between. Even after the school year is done, high schoolers and youth alike have replaced downtime at home with time in the weight room, on the diamond or on basketball and volleyball courts.
Look no further than Augusta for the perfect example of this. By the time school lets out, youth baseball and softball already have been well underway, as are seasons for the Butler County Cubs and several other area traveling baseball and softball teams. Augusta High School volleyball coach Rich Bishop has tried to start club volleyball teams. There are football and basketball camps to attend, tournaments on the weekends and good old-fashioned practices throughout the week.
This level of activity is becoming a necessity for teams that want to be competitive at the high school level.
"There is no question that offseason programs have become an integral part of high school athletics," AHS athletic director Doug Law said. "Our athletes can't just step on the field in August or the court in November and be ready to play. They must be in proper physical condition and have refined their playing skills to a level that allows them to compete.
"The required level of an individual's physical condition and playing skill increases with age," he added. "Athletes are going to need to work in the offseason, and especially the summer months, in order to be prepared."
The cost of all these activities certainly hasn't escaped the attentions of these athletes' parents. Lyndsay and Matt Pascal have two sons, Isaiah and Trevon, who are active in Augusta youth sports. Isaiah, who is a big fan of basketball, plays in the youth league during the fall and winter. He then gets about a week off before he plays for a YMCA team for the hand-picked Augusta Raptors. Right after that, baseball starts. Then back to basketball during the summer while throwing in three camps—one at AHS, an all-day camp at Wichita State and a Butler County camp. Lyndsay said she's thankful Isaiah only has about three one- to two-hour practices a week so they still can have family evenings, which are always important.
Camps add up to $350. It costs anywhere from $250 to $400 to play on all these teams and leagues. Uniforms add up to another $200. Pictures are $40. Shoes are $125 (Isaiah likes the new Kevin Durant's). Grand total is near $1,000 per year. Just for one kid. And he doesn't even deal with expensive traveling teams.
Dawn Clausing is another example. She has four boys who went through Augusta programs. Two of them are done with high school and have moved on. Jonny will be an 8th grader next year. He plays football, basketball and track during the school year and is on a traveling baseball team (about seven tournaments per summer) and plays MAYB (four to five tournaments) during the summer. Justin, a 6th grader who hasn't even started school sports yet, plays little league football and is on a traveling basketball team that plays at the YMCA in Wichita, and he also plays for a traveling baseball team (at least eight tournaments).
While this can seem overwhelming, what Pascal and Clausing both understand as mothers is how important it is for their kids to have the desire to participate and compete instead of being forced to play.
"Isaiah goes to school with some boys whose parents make them play on all these other teams," Pascal said. "We have never forced Isaiah to play anything. I think that is awful and that's how you burn out a kid. When it's their choice, it's a little different!"
That term—burnout—is becoming more and more of an issue among parents and coaches.
"There should be some concern. This goes back to a balance in life and ensuring on some level the athletes are able to be kids and have fun," said AHS football coach Roger Robben. "It is okay and appropriate for parents to want to challenge and push their kids to be involved in as much as possible. However, the focus has to be on how motivated the athlete is to play the sports they participate."
Motivation is the key. Some athletes can't be kept away from the fields or gym because they have that desire to compete. And while regulating how much an athlete plays is a factor, coaches see the benefit of competing even at younger ages.
AHS wrestling head coach Brandon Terry knows this firsthand. Terry said that, while he feels kids can be pushed too far, it can be more important for some kids to get a head start to become a tougher athlete and to better understand the sport. He added that the parents need to take charge and balance how much time their kids put into athletics.
Terry feels that athletes also become more motivated as a student. Earning academic All-State honors is a big deal to Terry as it is to a lot of coaches. Whether it's because athletes have coaches checking on their grades or athletes simply developing a stronger work ethic, playing sports year round can spill over into the classroom, and research is starting to back this up. Statistics produced via large-scale surveys last year, such as at a 35,000-student Los Angeles district, revealed that athletes had an average GPA of anywhere from .55 to .74 points higher than non-athletes, as reported by the Los Angeles Times in 2012.
Where a big part of the imbalance comes into play is with an athlete's specialization of one particular sport. Sometimes an athlete will choose just to pitch for a baseball team or swing tennis racquets or golf clubs all year. Focusing on getting good in a singular phase of a game to be the most successful is becoming a common notion.
Coaches, however, resoundingly disagree with that.
Matt Ingrim, the strength and conditioning coach and assistant track coach at AHS, said he sees multi-sport athletes develop a wider range of skills and interests, which helps keep athletes motivated.
"It seems burnout is a little more prevalent with those types of kids," Ingrim said of athletes who specialize in one sport.
While playing a singular sport year round can be key in perfecting a specific craft, that won't necessarily benefit an athlete who wants to make it to the collegiate level. Ingrim used to recruit for small colleges, and he knows what recruiters look for.
"Why wouldn't you want to recruit a kid that has a variety of skill sets?" Ingrim said. "As a recruiter, if you found out a wide receiver was a standout hurdler, that's exciting. Why wouldn't you want a kid that can do multiple things?"
"The fact that athletes are being pressured by summer coaches who do not care about the total athlete, but more about the sport they coach and exposing them to be recruited for college, is a major part of the problem," Robben said. "These coaches influence the parents and athletes to believe [that] focusing on one sport is better so they will be better at that one sport and someday earn a big-time scholarship."
Crossover skills between sports are very common. AHS basketball head coach and assistant baseball coach David Stephenson said he knows the value of having on his team a cross country runner, who is in good shape, or a football player, who can bring toughness and physicality to the court.
"It's kind of funny to watch kids who are a star in one sport be a role player in another sport. They get to learn all the different roles, and it just makes them a better person," Stephenson said.
He added that those are the types of traits recruiters look for.
"Every single one of them wants a multi-sport athlete. That's just a resounding thing I get from [college] coaches. It just shows you're more versatile and all that stuff," Stephenson said.
He is well aware of the perils of overuse injuries for athletes who specialize, particularly for young pitchers, who can develop shoulder problems from learning different types of pitches so early.
"Some of it's just not healthy, especially in baseball. Your arm wasn't meant to do that at that age," Stephenson said.
Other common types of overuse injuries involve catchers or volleyball players who can develop shin splints.
Published research conducted by Darren L. Johnson, MD, orthopedic surgeon and director of sports medicine at the University of Kentucky, states that younger-aged kids who specialize in one sport are more susceptible to injuries because only certain muscle groups are getting stronger, as opposed to a multi-sport athlete who is more versed to a variety of physical activities.
When athletes sustain a concussion or break a wrist, they have suffered an acute injury, usually resulting from a singular event such as a hit or fall. But an overuse injury develops slowly over time due to repetitive stress on tendons, muscles, bones or joints with inadequate amounts of rest.
While the threat of injuries may be a deterrent to playing sports year round, Law pointed out that balance is the key. He said training and preparation can actually do more to prevent injuries.
"There are any number of ways a young person can find to get injured," Law said. "While playing sports might create some level of exposure, I believe that the training and conditioning that goes into preparing our athletes helps to limit that exposure. There is, I think, a greater chance of a repetitive or overuse injury created by sport specialization."
For parents, understanding how to balance their kids' time and activities, learning how to monitor their physical and mental health, as well as accommodating travel time and expenses can be a full-time job in and of itself. There are a lot of factors to consider when allowing their kids to play sports year round, but it can be done right.
And for parents, watching their kids play can be motivation enough.
"Always hated to miss a game, and I still hate not being there as I have to count on others to take boys to their games," Dawn Clausing said.

Hydrophobia exclusive artwork revealed - Blade Interactive Interview Part II
Welcome back to the second part of PS3 Attitude's interview with Blade Interactive. In the first part we talked with Rob Hewson and Pete Jones about the setting and story of Hydrophobia. In part two we discuss game mechanics, what it's like developing on the PS3 and the future of Blade Interactive's new development tools/toys: InfiniteWorlds and the much extolled HydroEngine. Finally, we share some exclusive artwork of never before seen characters from the Hydrophobia universe - with a couple of new screenshots from the latest build of the game thrown in for good measure.
[PS3 Attiude]: One would expect that the use of a breathing apparatus would add an extra dimension to the game when certain areas become flooded. Will players have the ability to revisit previous locations that are now submerged to explore and interact with in a different way?
Rob Hewson: Yes, and sometimes the change is much more immediate. You can fight through an area one time and there might be a foot of water flowing around and effecting the environment, another person might play through the same area and blow out walls or windows causing a great deal of water to flow into the scene, meaning perhaps the gameplay switches to floating cover. Another player might shoot fuel barrels which let even more water into the scene but also spawn floating fuel fires which are carried around with the flow and find they need to resort to underwater action.
[PS3A]: An aquaphobic in a drowned world has got to be the epitome of bad luck. How does Kate's hydrophobia manifest in the game? Does it affect her actions and do we, as players, need to manage her fears in order to progress in the game? Or does she just suck it up and get on with things with the phobia acting more as a plot device rather than a game mechanic?
[RH]: A movie is primarily told in images, with Hydrophobia we wanted the story to be told primarily through interactions. The phobia system begins as a game mechanic where, for example, Kate's survivors instinct kicks in when she is in extreme danger of drowning and highlights possibilities for escape. That mechanic is portrayed with a particular aesthetic and in the particular context of Kate's dark side to reveal a deeper narrative thread.
As that thread is explored and pushes Kate's character arc forward it feeds back into the development of Kate's abilities and releases a greater power. So yes it is a plot device, and yes it is a game mechanic. The two are intertwined and evolve symbiotically.
[PS3A]: Kate joins a long list of strong female gaming protagonists. With her titular phobia and reluctant hero persona however she does appear to be somewhat more subtle and grounded than some of her fellow fairer sex counterparts. Was there a particular reason why you chose a woman for the lead character?
[RH]: But do we really have a long list of strong female characters, or do we just have a list of unlikely action heroes with impossible figures? We approached our main character in the same way we did for the setting as a whole. We didn't want another space marine, soldier or back-flipping wonder woman; we've got plenty of those already.
We wanted to create a character who is multi-dimensional, reluctant, flawed... somebody you could truly empathise with. Kate grew into the character she is over the course of countless hours of conversations and debates. As you know she has evolved visually several times, that's a cosmetic reflection of the way we allowed her to grow around the game, to the point where we can't imagine Hydrophobia starring anybody other than Kate ... she has become almost real to us and we hope she will be for player as well.
[PJ]: And then there's the dreads. We wanted Kate to have a unique look. When, as she will do, she graces the cover of the specialist press we want her to be immediately recognisable.
There is one interesting footnote to this. We have made Kate's sexual preferences somewhat ambiguous and although we never intended this directly, some lesbian gaming sites have been speculating as to whether Kate is in fact a "baby dyke" – their words not mine you understand.
[PS3A]: As PS3 Attitude is obviously focused on delivering news specific about the PS3, can you comment on any PS3-centric aspects of the game's development? With the game also coming out on the 360 how has developing on the two different architectures impacted development? How would you describe your experience with the PS3 so far?
[RH]: PS3 is a different beast, the key is not to think you can just do things the same old way and expect to get the performance you need. From a designer's point of view we don't notice any difference, InfiniteWorlds is platform agnostic, so we can all be editing the same level simultaneously while play testing it on completely different platforms.
The tech team has had to develop specific solutions to take maximum advantage of the PS3s abilities, but that all goes on behind the scenes. At the end of the day I can have a PS3 on my desk playing the same game as the guy opposite me who has a 360. I make a change, he immediately sees it update on his screen, that's why we love InfiniteWorlds.
[PS3A]: From watching the tech demo the HydroEngine is obviously an impressive and powerful piece of software. With studios like EA announcing plans to licence the engines behind their games (i.e. Dead Space) is this a direction Blade Interactive would be interested in? Are there any plans to licence HydroEngine as a middleware component or will it stay strictly in-house?
[PJ]: We're keeping our options open. Clearly we'd like to get Hydrophobia out there first, but after that making the technology available to others would be a benefit to the whole industry, so it's definitely an option.
[PS3A]: Can you comment any more on your new InfiniteWorlds development suite? Will all future games developed by Blade Interactive utilise this new tool and will it also be kept in-house?
[RH]: InfiniteWorlds is phenomenal. Real-time, in-game, on platform editing where multiple users can be working in the same area at the same time. Now we've got InfiniteWorlds we'll never go back. In the early days we looked at other engines and editors, and they fell far short of our aspirations for Hydrophobia, so we built our own and approached it from a completely new angle.
The great thing about using our own tools is that we get to design them around our needs, it puts us in control and allows us to push things which we couldn't otherwise do if we were licesning someone else's technology.
[PJ]: The importance of IW cannot be understated. It has changed the way we make games, moving the creation of the game environment from the artists to the designers (where it should be!) and boosting productivity by an order of magnitude in the process.
IW has one further trick up its sleeve. It creates a game that looks better than anything that's out there, but gives it an impossibly small memory footprint allowing for the very real possibility of digital distribution – watch this space.
And yes, in the future we also see IW licensed out as middleware.
[PS3A]: Time for the obligatory questions we ask all studios. Will there by any DLC for Hydrophobia? What about Home and trophy support?
[PJ]: Hydrophobia will be released episodically, trophy support – absolutely.
Released episodically, Boston as the setting for Hydrophobia 2 and new character reveals. We don't know what we've done to deserve all these exclusives but we promise to keep doing ... whatever it is we're doing.
Check out the below for an exclusive look at concept art of some of the game's characters: the regal Benedict (one of the Five Founding Fathers?), the androgynous Charlotte, the "Oldman", an irascible Kurt Cisco and, of course, our heroine, Kate Wilson. And is that her left hand glowing? A portent to the nascent powers Rob hints at above perhaps?
We'd like to thank Pete and Rob for taking the time to talk with us about Hydrophobia. Planned for a release in the Spring of next year, we've pencilled in another chat closer to the release date so expect an update some time in March/April 2009.
By the way, Rob also revealed what the population of the Queen of the World is. First person to guess correctly in the comments section (it's a nice round number) wins a prize*.
*Note: prize may be the standard PS3 Attitude virtual cake award.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – King Men's Basketball head coach George Pitts has announced the hiring of Jeremy Yates as an interim assistant coach and the elevation of Assistant Coach Nick Pasqua to the title of associate head coach. Yates will begin his duties with the Tornado this week and the alteration to Pasqua's title is effective immediately.
Yates is a graduate of Sullivan Central High School where he received several awards such as the Distinguished Athlete Award and All-Conference Honorable Mention while being named a Christian Athlete All-American and Wendy's High School Heisman Award nominee.
Following his high school career he continued his education at East Tennessee State University where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance and began his coaching career at the middle and high school levels. After serving as the boys' basketball traveling team coach at Ketron Middle School for the 2004-05 season, he made a major step in improving the middle, junior varsity, and varsity programs at Tri-Cities Christian schools from 2005-2010. In four years as the head coach of the boys' varsity basketball coach at Tri-Cities Christian High School, he held a 72-34 overall record and a 39-9 record in the TACS. In that time his teams earned three district championships, two regional championships, and one TACS state championship.
Yates was with King as an intern assistant coach at both the junior varsity and varsity levels in 2010-11. In that season, the Tornado went 18-15 overall in their final year as a NCAA Division II provisional member and went on to win a NCCAA regional championship.
He was most recently with Milligan College as an assistant on the 2011-12 men's basketball staff. Last year the Buffaloes lost to King by a three-point margin, 63-60, in Bristol.
Yates will serve as an interim assistant coach with the Tornado for 2012-13. The announcement comes after the departure of Damon Johnson, who accepted a position at ETSU.
In addition to the hiring of Yates, Head Coach George Pitts announced the elevation of Assistant Coach Nick Pasqua to the status of associate head coach. The change is effective immediately.
"I feel Nick needs to be rewarded for his commitment to KC and for his outstanding coaching in the last four seasons," said Pitts.
Pasqua is entering his fifth season with the Tornado men's program and is also the head coach of the King junior varsity men's team. He was a part of a Tornado men's basketball team that featured two All-Conference selections, one All-Region player, won the 2011-12 Conference Carolinas regular season championship and earned an at-large bid to last year's NCAA Division II Tournament.
The Alcoa, Tenn. native played his collegiate basketball from 2004-08 with his final two seasons under current King head coach, George Pitts. In two seasons under Pitts, his teams compiled a 49-19 record. Pasqua was a four-year starter, was a part of the two AAC tournament championship teams including the 2007-08 AAC regular season championship team. He was selected to the AAC First Team, AAC All-Defensive Team, and AAC All-Academic Team after his senior season. Pasqua scored 1,300 points and dished out 500 assists during his Tornado career.
King will start official practice on Monday, October 15 and play in their first exhibition contest of the season on Tuesday, Oct. 30 against Virginia Intermont College at the Cobra's Den (Bristol, Va.). Tipoff for the contest is set for 7 p.m.

IT WOULD BE remiss of me to leave off discussing the upcoming changes, even though there has been a lot really excellent analysis around the internet already, notably here, here, and here, oh yes, here. But I'd like to focus exclusively on what all these changes will mean to a Discipline Priest (Mind Spike? I vom on you).
Let's start with the drama queen:
Leap of Faith (level 85): Pull a party or raid member to your location. Leap of Faith (or "Life Grip") is intended to give priests a tool to help rescue fellow players who have pulled aggro, are being focused on in PvP, or just can't seem to get out of the fire in time. Instant. 30-yard range. 45-second cooldown.
No one sums up like Tamarind, so I'll let him take the con:
What the hell, Blizzard?!
They might as well have called this "I don't trust my arcane mage." Or "Stupidity Grip." Or "I Just Fancy Pissing Someone Off Today, Maybe Myself."
Can you imagine the crap we're going to get? It's going to be why u no heal me but 1000 times worse: "lifegrip plz."
So everybody makes mistakes now and again, and I'm the first to look sheepish when I stand in the bad shit, but if you can't get out the fucking fire, you don't deserve to be in a fucking raid group. It's that simple.
My job is to heal other players. It is not to compensate for them.
There's already an infuriating culture in which individuals are unwilling or unable to accept responsibility for their own actions: "just heal through it, lol." I could really really do without this being hardcoded into the game.
So maybe Stupidity Grip has some PvP utility but MOVING OTHER PLAYERS AROUND NON CONSENSUALLY reduces in-game agency. Nothing says "I know what you need better than you do, baby" than yoiking somebody 45 yards across a map.
A QQ-less con point comes from Orcish Army Knife, and such a good point it is, too:
But let's assume a different, perfect-case scenario. Let's say you're stunned or something, and Marrowgar's coldflame is about to wash over you as a swarm of death and destruction. A timely Life Grip could pluck you out of harm's way, sure. But do you know how disorientingthat would be? How much it would disrupt your rhythm and concentration? Anyone who's gone up against a DK in PVP should know exactly what I mean. It throws you off, and costs you precious seconds re-orienting yourself and figuring out exactly where you are and what direction you're facing. I think this ability may cause more harm than help.
And the pro comes from a number of commenters on wow.com, namely Cyanea, Hivetyrant, and Dameblanche, in that order:
Complaining about something that's not really broken, especially before we really know how it works as is the case here is how we lose cool abilities like this one and get crappy generics.
I personally can't understand all the hate for Leap of Faith.
Moron players are still going to be moron players, and have always been moron players so if they bitch about you not LoF'ing them in Cata, they probably bitched about you not shielding them in ICC.
I can't wait to see some of the cool strategies and fights we could get into with tools like this.
My thoughts exactly. The obvious candidates for a life grip moment are players who already are getting on my nerves big time because they have the situational awareness of a doormat, and I'd only be happy not having to press multiple keys to type "Oi, Lolzipwnu, get yer damn ass out of the bloody fire"; just having to press one single life grip key to hammer the message home, is much much more convenient.
The only thing I was wondering is if Leap of Faith could also have a handy threat reset ability, because yanking a trigger happy dps out of harms way is less fun when the mobs that are pounding on him come towards you as well.
And of course, what I look forward to the most: when you are bored waiting for the rest of your raid group to show up, you only need two priests and one dwarf to entertain yourselves with the ancient sports called Dwarf Hurling.
Generic is bad. Weird is good. Weird might be bad, but let's see how we can have fun with it in beta. Dwarf Hurling is very, very good. Besides, it's not like our DPS don't bother us already.
Inner Will (level 83): Increases movement speed by 12% and reduces the mana cost of instant-cast spells by 10%. This buff will be exclusive with Inner Fire, meaning you can't have both up at once. Inner Fire provides a spell power and Armor buff; Inner Will should be useful on a more situational basis.
Now this I like, and I like it because I'm so tired of watching polymorphed droolcats snatch up my Easter eggs, dammit. I'm going to throw this sucker on myself pretty much endlessly while leveling from 83 and up just to zip around. Even if you don't use it in raid all that much, it easily comes in handy for the bosses who toss you in the air at random- more than a few tanks have bitten the dust while I'm sprinting. Generally thumbs up for giving a nod to the pew-pew/spastic runaround style of healing which comes so naturally to us discos.
Heal (available at level 16): While priests already have a spell called Heal, the existing version becomes obsolete at higher levels, which is something we intend to change in Cataclysm. Introduced at a low level, the "new" Heal spell will functionally work much like a down-ranked Greater Heal did in the past, adding more granularity to your direct-healing arsenal. If you need to heal someone a moderate amount and efficiency is an issue (making Flash Heal the incorrect spell for the job), then Heal is what you want to use. Heal is intended to be the priest's go-to direct-healing spell unless they need something bigger (Greater Heal) or faster (Flash Heal). We will be following a similar philosophy with all the healing classes.
El yawn. Moving on.
- All HoTs and DoTs will benefit from Haste and Crit innately. Hasted HoTs and DoTs will not have a shorter duration, just a shorter period in between ticks (meaning they will gain extra ticks to fill in the duration as appropriate).
- While we want to keep the priest's role as a well-rounded healer, we also want to make sure the class is a viable tank healer, which is something priests moved away from a little in Wrath of the Lich King. Greater Heal will probably be the tank-healing spell of choice, though we've also discussed giving Discipline a second shield so that they have a small shield to cast on lots of different targets, and a big, more expensive shield to cast on a tank or anyone else taking a ton of damage.
- Divine Spirit and Prayer of Spirit will be removed from the game. As Spirit will be the primary mana-regeneration stat, we don't want it to vary as much between solo, small group, and raid play. Blessing of Kings and Mark of the Wild will not boost Spirit either.
- Mana will be a bigger consideration for all healers. We aren't trying to make healing more painful; we're trying to make it more fun. When the cost of a spell isn't an issue, then casting the right spell for the job is less of an issue because you might as well just use your most powerful spell all of the time. We are, however, getting rid of the five-second rule, because we don't want to encourage standing around doing nothing. We're also going to cut back on the benefits of buffs such as Replenishment so priests (and all healers) don't feel as penalized when those buffs aren't available.
Now, as we all know, Spirit, Spellpower, and MP5 are getting the Big Nerf. Divine Spirit and Prayer of Spirit will bid us a fond farewell as there's no need for them, and along with their removal is a 33% reduction in wear and tear on devout candle inventory. Nice. You can take candle.
Haste will clearly be a much bigger thing for healing priests, though it really leads me to wonder: what'll the difference be between Shadow and healing gear if there's no Spirit and Haste is needed for everything? I'm predicting a deluge of Shadow priests who assume healing can't be that tough picking it up to get into raids and PUGs faster without having to invest even minimally in new gear. In other news, water is wet.
I love the idea of graded shields. I could use one right now, in fact. And I appreciate that Blizz sees how we've fallen by the tank-heals wayside in Lich. Discipline priests are arguably the best of the priestly tank healers, and even we are pretty much balls at it when compared to our non-priest brethren (yeah, I'm lookin' at you, pally).
Mana management is going to be huge. You can see it all over the blue posts and feel it in your water. There's no cure other than learning how to (1) prioritize your spells and really maximize your rotation and (2) gird your brain-loins for a 127% uptick in why u no heal me's.
- We want to improve Discipline's single-target healing capacity. One key is to make sure shielding isn't always a more attractive option than healing.
Shieldpriest is shielding.
- Discipline will finally be getting Power Word: Barrier as a talented ability. Think of it like a group Power Word: Shield.
Wait, so we're going to put more emphasis on shielding, but don't go getting all emotionally dependent on shields? Mommy loves daddy. Mommy loves daddy! *rocks back and forth*
Mastery Passive Talent Tree Bonuses
Absorption: Improves the strength of shields such as Power Word: Shield, Divine Aegis, and Power Word: Barrier.
But don't go getting all emotionally dependent on your shields!!
In conclusion, I really, really, really wish I'd named this blog whyunohealme.com.

In honor of October being the month of Halloween - and other things spooky - all of my blogs this month will deal with a haunted location and the cemetery that ties into the story.
Enjoy and make this a spook-tacular autumn!! ; )

In the 1800's it was formally called Hickory Hill. It's now known as the old Crenshaw Place, or the Old Slave House. And it's claimed to be one of the most haunted places in the southern part of Illinois.
Located near Equality, Illinois, in Gallatin County, the large, two-story pseudo Greek Revival
|John H & Sinia Crenshaw
|Hickory Hill - also known as
the Old Crenshaw House
|Old Shawneetown Bridge
over the Ohio River
John Crenshaw became deeply involved in the slave trade during the 1820's. He was charged several times with kidnapping, and became a slave trader in 1827. The first documented case against his involved a black indentured servant named Frank Granger that Crenshaw kidnapped and took to Kentucky in 1828. The second kidnapping case followed right on the heels of the first and involved a free black woman named Lucinda and her two children. Crenshaw kidnapped the three and took them to Barren County Kentucky in 1828 to be sold into slavery. Crenshaw was also known as John Granger, (pronounced more like Cringer) due to regional dialects and accent.
|Hickory Hill
The third floor was constructed of thicker walls with over a dozen cells, about the size of horse stalls, all equipped with heavy metal rings and chains. A whipping post was located at either end of the hallway. Windows at each end of the hall provided the only light and air to the attic. It would only be after Crenshaw's and his wife's deaths, when new owners took over that the true secrets of the attic would come to light.
was finally indicted in 1842 for the kidnapping of Maria, his cook, and her
seven children. Because of his
clout and financial standing in the community, he was found not guilty. (If he had been found guilt, no jail
time would have been served; the only penalty was a fine of $1,000 allowed by
the Black Code of 1819.) But
people in the area talked and suddenly Crenshaw's methods were being
questioned. His mill was burned
and his standing as an upright and moral man in the community was waning. Business in the salt works began to
decline as more profitable salt was discovered in Ohio and Virginia. Crenshaw
was now watching his empire dissolve.
Crenshaw's left Hickory Hill in 1850 and moved to Equality, Illinois. Crenshaw continued farming, but also
became involved in railroads and banks. The Hickory Hill house was sold in
1906, the Crenshaw House was purchased by the Sisk family. The true horrors of what had occurred
on the third floor were then unmasked.
The slave quarters were dismantled soon after but talk spread and by the
1920's tourists from around the country were arriving to see the attic and hear
the stories of the Old Slave House.
George Sisk decided to capitalize on the history and by the 1930's, was
advertising that you could tour the house where "Slavery existed in Illinois,"
for only 10 cents for adults and a nickel for children.
this year, the Center for Archaeological Investigations at Southern Illinois
University in Carbondale began doing digs at the house. Working with the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency, the group has a three-year grant to undertake historical,
architectural and archaeological research on the site. The archaeological
excavations ended August 1, 2011.
The state says there are still no current plans to reopen the house to the
remains to be seen what more is discovered about the house and property with
these investigations. One thing is
for sure, while John Hart Crenshaw was not the only slave trader in the state
of Illinois; he became the most notorious, known as one of the most ruthless men in
this state's history.

Meanwhile, Crenshaw bought his first salt works in Gallatin County. Few men were interested in the harsh work and brutal conditions required to mine salt, so Crenshaw used slave laborers and indentured servants.
|Only Surviving Record
allowed, an exception had been granted to Crenshaw for slaves to be leased for one-year terms for use in the salt mines in Gallatin, Saline and Hardin Counties. Illinois also allowed indentured servitude; the contracting of work for a specific period of time in exchange for food, shelter, and sometimes passage. Crenshaw owned over 30,000 acres of land and leased numerous salt mines from the government. He had over 700 slaves working for him in 1830. At one time it was said that Crenshaw had made so much money he paid 1/7 of all taxes collected in Illinois. It is from his illegal trafficking of humans into slavery that much of his vast fortune was made.
Crenshaw is best known for creating a reverse Underground Railroad in Illinois. He and his hired men would capture free blacks from the North and smuggle them across the Ohio River into Kentucky where they would be "sold down the river" and into slavery in the southern states.
|Hickory Hill
|Runaway Slaves
When the house at Hickory Hill was built, a secret wagon entrance was constructed in the back of the house. Covered wagons carrying kidnapped blacks and indentured whites would go directly into this entry. Then the kidnapped would be taken up the back stairs to the third floor attic of his home. There they were imprisoned in cells, tortured, raped, whipped, and sometimes murdered. According to local legend, there was also a secret tunnel from the basement to the Saline River so that the kidnapped could be put on boats quickly and inconspicuously.
|Slave Auction
Crenshaw then devised a plan to begin a slave-breeding program in the attic. A slave named Uncle Bob was used as the stud breeder to provide Crenshaw with cargo to sell off to the south. A pregnant black woman would bring more money at auction in a slave state. An adult able-bodied slave could bring $400 or more. A child could be sold for around $200. It was said that Uncle Bob sired more than 300 children in that upstairs attic.
|John H. Crenshaw
Rumor has it that it was during this period of time that Crenshaw brutally beat several female slaves. In retaliation, a group of male slaves attacked Crenshaw and during the assault Crenshaw's leg was severed with an axe. Following this attack, most of the slaves were sold off.
|Equality, Illinois
Crenshaw died December 4, 1871, his wife, Sinia, in 1881. Both are
buried in a tiny, forgotten cemetery down a lonely
dirt road. The cemetery is also
known as Hickory Hill and is located to the northeast of the house. It is said to be the oldest cemetery in
Gallatin County. It
is fitting note that Crenshaw's stone has been toppled off of its pedestal, now
laying flat on the ground

|Old Slave House in the Fifties
|Third Floor Attic
It was during these tours that people began to report odd occurrences on the third floor; unseen fingers touching passersby, strange noises, rattling chains, whispering voices, hushed sobbing, and the feeling of being watched. Legend has it that the Crenshaw House is haunted by those who were held captive there.
|Old Slave House in the '90's
From the thirties to the mid-90's, the Old Slave House was visited by many ghost hunting groups, psychics, and paranormal investigators. Many reported feelings of unrest and agony trapped up there. It was on October 31, 1996 when the Sisk's closed the house due to their age and declining health.

In December 2000, the State of Illinois acquired the house and two acres of land from George Sisk, Jr. And in 2004 the National Park Service declared the Crenshaw house, aka the Old Slave House, as a station in the 'Reverse Underground Railroad Network to Freedom' program, thus acknowledging the sadistic part that John Crenshaw played in condemning free blacks and indentured servants to lives of slavery. But no plans were made to reopen the house.

"The Bling Ring" had Emma Watson "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
The "Harry Potter" alum plays a character based on convicted socialite Alexis Neiers in Sofia Coppola's film, which chronicles the shenanigans of those who looted the homes of celebrities including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom in 2009 and 2010.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday with stars Watson, Claire Julien, Taissa Fariga, Katie Chang, Israel Broussard and writer-director Coppola walking the red carpet. The film is not part of the French festival's main competition; rather, the fact-based drama opened the Un Certain Regard category, Movies Now reports.
"I watched a lot of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' and 'The Hills,' and I tried to understand the psychology of this kind of girl as much as possible," Watson told reporters. "I didn't want her to be just a parody. The accent was hard as it was a particular kind of dialect. I also thought a lot about what her parents must have been like."
VIDEO: See Emma Watson in 'The Bling Ring' trailer
Watson rocks a pretty offensive but totally perfect Valley girl accent for her cat-burglar character. Neiers, who along with her friend made off with designer baubles and glitzy duds, pleaded no contest in 2010 to second-degree residential burglary and was given probation after serving 30 days of a 180-day sentence. She was also paid by Coppola to consult on the film.
"It wasn't so much about the stealing," Watson said. "It wasn't so much about the heist aspect. It was actually more about the fact that they wanted to pretend for two hours that they were Paris Hilton or that they were living that kind of lifestyle for real."
Hilton, a five-time victim of the gang's crimes, makes a cameo appearance in the film and recently divulged that she allowed part of it to be shot at her mansion.
CHEAT SHEET: Cannes Film Festival 2013
"Sofia came to my birthday party last year. She loved my house and said it couldn't be re-created in a set," Hilton told The Hollywood Reporter. "I really admire her, an intelligent independent woman who's a director ... Sofia knows everything about these kids now — stuff I didn't know — and it will be very strange to watch them break in my house five times and sell my Birkin bags and heirloom jewelry on Venice Beach. They stole millions of dollars' worth of things from me."
"The Bling Ring" was based on a Vanity Fair article about the group and the story served as source material for Coppola.
"I think it's really interesting to see an actress that you've seen in other things really transform into a completely different character that's so different than her," Coppola said. "And all of them are so different than the characters in the movie so it's always exciting to see an actor transform."
And it seems like Watson wanted to do the story justice without making it seem as if she were mimicking a loathed caricature.
"With Nicki, I was really taking on a character. Some of her lines are so crazy and absurd — making sure she wasn't a parody was a challenge," Watson recently told W, saying that her risque costumes helped her get into character.
"Who wouldn't love to go to work in Uggs and very low-slung tracksuit bottoms? The iconic detail of Nicki is her tramp stamp. It's a lotus flower, a Buddhist-like symbol just above her butt crack. Really classy! And at one point I told the costume designer, 'You can see my bra strap in this top; shouldn't we pin it?' And she said, 'No, sweetie — Nicki is all about her bra strap showing.' I was like, right, OK, different mind-set."
Goodie-two-shoes Hermione Granger has been clearly and quite deliberately been left behind in the magical land of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter."
For Watson, who has talked at length about breaking away from her frizzy-haired Muggle-born alter-ego, taking on new roles has helped cast her in a grown-up and quite alluring light. But for her, it's just a part maturing along with "normal experiences."
PHOTOS: Hermione Granger through the years
"I've always been fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor, and I had read that her first kiss happened on a film set, which actually made me a little sad," W's June cover girl said, revealing that her own first kiss was "thankfully" not on set. "You need to have normal experiences of your own. I've never wanted to grow up too fast: I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22! The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I've never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman."

"When will you reopen The Shanty Restaurant?"
Donald Saylor, the former owner of the legendary Allentown eatery, is asked that a lot in his daily travels around the Lehigh Valley.
And why not? After all, its tough to forget all those first dates, anniversaries, Halloween parties and other moments shared over Shanty fare.

Due to disease at one of the key fish hatcheries in New York state, Essex County may see fewer trout being stocked into its lakes and rivers.
Essex County Fish Hatchery manager Steve LaMere told members of the Economic Development Committee Jan. 14 that there could be as much as a 20 percent reduction in the number of brown trout and brook trout being stocked in the region due to the outbreak.
"We are hopeful that this will be a one-year lull," LaMere said. "Here we have always tested negative in terms of certified diseases. If you see a decrease in state fish stocking, that is not on our part, it is on the state's part."
Changing climate, tourism
ROOST Executive Director Jim McKenna spoke to members of the committee about winter tourism on a mid-January day where temperatures almost bit 50 degrees.
"Things are changing, and we have to really start thinking about that and what we are going to have to do long term," McKenna said. "We will have snow, but what the trends are saying is that it is going to be erratic. When it is in the 60s down in New York City, they are not going to be thinking about winter up here."
Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey agreed.
"I think that it is important that we start looking at our area as a four-season model and not under just a winter model," she said.
McKenna also responded to the recent State of the State address.
"Clearly (Gov. Cuomo) has found a good spot in his heart for the Adirondacks," he said. "He has talked about expanding marketing in the region and coming up with new events. There are lot of good things that are putting us in a good place."
