Review: Iron Wolf's Bride (Wild West 2) by Karen Kay
I will return to you, my love…
Jane Glenforest's father believed she was too young to marry, so he'd stolen her and her newborn son away from the handsome Assiniboine Indian she'd wed and taken her to Surrey, England. In spite of divorce papers and rumors he's wed another, Jane's never forgotten the man who'd stolen her heart and given her son legitimacy. When Buffalo Bill's Wild West show comes to England—bringing her ex-husband with it—Jane's curious to see her lost love, in spite of her new fiancé.
Although Iron Wolf's purpose in working for Bill Cody's Wild West show is to fulfill his father's vision to find and stop a deceiver, he fell in love with and married Jane Glenforest. But, no sooner had Jane given birth than her father stole her away. Now, a few years later, Iron Wolf is arriving in England with the hope of rekindling the love he once shared with Jane. However, instead of love, he finds his wife loathes him, believing he has married another. And, when he discovers she is engaged to another man, he declares war on both her and the fiancé.
But when their son is kidnapped, Jane and Iron Wolf must work together to rescue him. And, as danger escalates, they discover trusting each other might be the only way to save their son. Will Jane and Iron Wolf learn to forgive one another, to reignite the embers of a passion that never died, or will the lies of a deceiver destroy their love forever?
An exciting and entertaining story.
Two and a half years after Jane and Iron Wolf are forcibly separated, they are reunited in England when Bill Cody's Wild West Show is in town. But the reunion isn't exactly how Iron Wolf hoped it would to be. He discovers Jane is engaged to be married. Within days, Jane and Iron Wolf's son, Jeremy, is kidnapped and it's a race against time to find and rescue him. In the process, Jane lets down her guard and she starts to trust Iron Wolf again and falls back in love with him.
I was instantly hooked on this book. I couldn't wait to see how Jane and Iron Wolf would get Jeremy back and come together as a family. There were a lot of surprises in this book. It was hard to know who was a good person and who was not. I also learned a lot about Native American culture while reading this story. This book is part of a series and I would definitely recommend reading them in order.

Review: A Hometown Proposal (The Shannon Sisters #3) by C.J. Carmichael
She's looking for a second chance to reconnect with her daughter but finds so much more.
Since her husband's climbing death a year ago, Maureen Shannon's relationship with her twelve-year-old daughter has spiraled out of control. Desperate, she resigns from her partnership at a legal firm and moves back to her hometown in Whitefish, Montana, with the hope that family and nature can heal their wounds. Her investment in a heli-skiing and lodge operation makes financial sense, but her attraction to the owner doesn't. He's everything she's come to hate—a man who makes his living chasing adventure.
Jake Hartman knows Maureen Shannon is off limits. She's an investor in his company—a silent investor who's never silent. Worse, she's a mom who's beautiful, intelligent and makes him feel more alive than he's ever known. A self-confirmed bachelor, he finds himself uneasily contemplating a very different partnership.
But will Maureen be able to let go of her past and build a future with a man who never imagined becoming a husband or a father?
Romance, a mystery and a new beginning.
Widowed attorney, Maureen Shannon has decided to start her life again after losing her husband to a tragic accident. Moving back to Whitefish, Montana, where her sisters live is the first step. Becoming a silent partner with Jake Hartman's Grizzly Peaks, a heli-skiing business and lodge, was the last thing she thought she would do. But she did and now they have become close. Maureen even lets her guard down starts a new relationship with Jake. But with a moody teenage daughter who might feel like Maureen is replacing her father, Maureen may need to rethink her plans.
This is the third book in the Shannon Sisters series and one that was hard to put down. I enjoyed Maureen's story and catching up with the other sisters. There is a mystery that runs throughout the series and it was fun to see how it wrapped up and who solved it. I would recommend reading this series in order.
Review: Operation Valentine (Hazel Oaks Resort, #1) by Sarah Fischer and Kelsey McKnight
She's determined to play Cupid, but will her arrow go astray?
Nat Keller has worked at upstate New York's Hazel Oaks Resort her entire adult life, dedicating herself to the lakeside lodge she considers home. After moving constantly as a child, planting roots and showcasing her organizational skills as the resort's Head Concierge is her dream job. When she's tasked with helping a married couple rekindle their romance, she's excited to prove herself until she learns she'll be working with a partner.
Lead Adventure Coordinator Hudson Dougal has never stayed in one place for long. He's worked at Hazel Oaks for nearly a year and is contemplating his next big move when he's asked to work with the only woman who seems to be immune to his charm. Always up for a challenge, Hudson accepts.
Soon, Nat and Hudson are igniting more than just a stale marriage. But just as Hudson wonders if roots have a purpose, he receives another opportunity. Will love be enough of an adventure to convince him to stay?
A sweet co-worker romance.
While trying to mend the marriage of their boss's friends, Hazel Oaks Resort concierge, Natalie Keeler, and adventure coordinator, Hudson Dougal, find themselves falling in love.
This was such a fun book to read. To Hudson, Nat appeared to be a buttoned up, almost snobbish, co-worker and to Nat, Hudson seemed too much of a goof off. But when they worked together, they realized neither was as bad as they first assumed. While they worked together, planning and hosting events for the Kents, which they dubbed "Operation Valentine", they decided to give dating a try. It was fun to see them let down their guard and fall in love. I really enjoyed this sweet story.

FIVE AND COUNTING
Visible light satellite image (NOAA) of 9 July showing a strengthening Hurricane EUGENE off the Pacific coast of Mexico
A strengthening Hurricane EUGENE. the fifth-named tropical cyclone of the 2017 eastern north Pacific hurricane season is active off the western coast of Mexico, moving NW parallel to the coastline.
Projected track of Hurricane EUGENE as of 9 July 2017 (Courtesy of the U.S. Navy Research Lab.)
EUGENE is the fifth tropical cyclone to generate in this sub-basin over the last seven weeks. The probability of other tropical cyclones developing soon in this sub-basin appears strong, given the continued presence of a conglomerate of tropical waves and disturbed weather cells in the region extending from the Gulf of Panama to the Pacific waters off the coast of Central America and Southern Mexico, which is in part being fed by tropical waves generated over the eastern Atlantic traveling along 'Hurricane alley' and crossing over northern Venezuela and Colombia into the Pacific.
GOES WEST infrared satellite image of 9 July 2017 showing Hurricane EUGENE off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Notice the conglomerate of disturbed weather cells and tropical waves ranging from the Gulf of Panama to waters off the coast of southern Mexico.
The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season, which is forecast to be busier than average by NOAA, has produced an early 'off-season' tropical storm ARLENE in April, and two other named storms, BRET and Cindy, since the official start of the season on 1 June. Tropical Depression #4 generated recently over the western end of 'Hurricane Alley', but dissipated over the weekend before amounting to much of anything. However, the tropical wave 'assembly line' over Equatorial Africa and the region over the Eastern Atlantic continue to be populated by stormy weather cells and tropical waves, which provide a continuous source of 'fuel' for possible future cyclogenesis over the increasingly warmer surface waters of the Atlantic.

While we watch and wait for what may develop, we must remain alert. Be prepared. MITIGATE!

Is the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season Here Already?
GOES satellite image of 18 June 2017 in the early evening (Florida time) showing two strong storm cells in the western Caribbean and southwestern north Atlantic, which are already showing potential for tropical cyclone development. (Courtesy of NOAA)
From my vantage point of southeast Florida I can see a rather large storm cell in the northwestern Caribbean, off the coast of Quintana Roo state in Mexico, covering more than four million square kilometers and already causing heavy rains throughout Central America. the Caribbean and major Antilles and even most of Florida, which is also showing some potential cyclonic tendencies. I also see another strong and large tropical wave close to the western terminus of 'Hurricane Alley' approaching the minor Antilles, which also shows potential for tropical cyclone development.
Does this mean the "official" 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season is about to get underway? Some would argue that the season already got an early start when Tropical Storm ARLENE formed in the Atlantic basin around mid-April 2017. But since the officially human designated start date for the 2017 Atlantic season is June 1, I would argue that the "official" start of the season is still ahead of us.
GOES EAST satellite image (NOAA) of 18 June 2017 in the evening over the Caribbean, showing the rather large storm cell off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, which is generating heavy rains from the eastern east Pacific sub-basin to Jamaica and Hispaniola and over most of Florida, and it is also showing above average potential for tropical cyclone development as it moves northwestward toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Looking at the Caribbean and Hurricane Alley approaching the Windward Islands, the gateway to the Caribbean, there are two large, rather strong and menacing storm cells. which appear to be ready to mark the "official" start of the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season.
The storm in the northwestern Caribbean off the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, is moving mainly northwest toward the Gulf of Mexico. It appears this storm will cross over the Yucatan to then emerge over the southwestern Gulf with above average potential for tropical cyclone development. This is a rather large system close to 2,000 kilometers in diameter that is generating vast amounts of rain from Panama to Florida and the eastern east Pacific to Jamaica and Hispaniola. This system is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center and it warrant attention from all interests i Mexico, the Antilles, Florida and all states around the Gulf of Mexico in the next 2 -3 days.
The storm at the western end of ;Hurricane Alley' approaching the Windward Island and eastern Caribbean is the one that has most of my attention. This storm is moving west and based on its peak sustained winds it may have already reached tropical storm intensity. A close analysis of satellite imagery including wind is showing spiral bands converging toward a center of low pressure, an indication of strong cyclonic tendencies. I recommend all interests in the Caribbean, Gulf and Florida region need to monitor this system closely over the next 2 to 3 days.
The official 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season may be about to start. This is the time to remain alert. Be prepared. MITIGATE!

Over Labor Day weekend, I got to go on a cruise with Andrew and some friends. We sailed with Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas and visited Nassau and CocoCay in the Bahamas. It was so much fun! I'm excited to share all about the ship, the ports of call and of course, the food!


(TAD) - Before televisions and computers were invented, Americans didn't spend any time staring at television and computer screens. They worked hard, raised their families, personally interacted with their communities (remember that?), and generally tried to make the world a better place.
But now for many of us, the "virtual world" actually seems more real than the "real world" does. In fact, as you will see below, average Americans now spend most of their waking hours staring at a screen. We have willingly connected ourselves to "the matrix", and the amount of time spent connected is rising with each passing year.
"Americans now spend most of their waking hours watching TV, listening to music, using apps on their smartphones, or otherwise consuming media, a new study finds.
"US adults are spending more than 11 hours a day on average — or about two-thirds of their waking time — consuming media in some form, Nielsen showed in its first-quarter 2018 report on US media consumption today (July 31). It measured, based on its representative panels of TV, radio, and digital households and consumers, activities like watching TV and DVDs, listening to the radio, visiting apps on a smartphone or tablet, and using the internet and game consoles."
"Though older generations generally spend the most time with media (adults 35-49 spend over 11 hours a day on it, while adults 50-64 do so at a nearly 13-hour clip), younger generations are at the forefront of TV-connected device and digital usage."
"Young adults 18-34 spend 43% of their time consuming media on digital platforms. Almost a third of their time spent with media (29%) comes from apps/web on a smartphone — the most of any measured generation."
Sadly, it isn't just in our free time that most of us are willingly connecting ourselves to "the matrix".
"We're often told to limit the amount of screen time in our daily lives, but for many of us, we don't have much of a choice. A new study finds the average office worker spends nearly 1,700 hours in front of a computer screen over the course of a year.
"According to a survey of 2,000 office workers by contact lenses manufacturer Acuvue, office workers spend about 6.5 hours a day sitting in front of their computer."
In 2018, major alternative voices are being "shadowbanned", censored or having their accounts terminated altogether by the tech giants. Some large conservative websites have seen their traffic from social media fall by over 90 percent, and many of them have seen a dramatic drop in revenue.
"WND and the rest of the independent media are feeling the heat from the Internet Cartel, which controls traffic, revenue, search power, hosting and distribution of news and information through social media, not to mention retail sales of all books.
"It's a scary time of rapidly shrinking traffic and revenues. WND, for instance, has seen drops in revenue from more than $10 million in 2016 to $6 million last year to perhaps as little as $4 million in 2018."

'The Boy from Oz' celebrates Peter Allen
New Broadway musical renews interest in performer's work
By By Justin Glanville - Associated Press Writer
New York — It seems to have been Peter Allen's fate to be overshadowed by other stars.
When he died in 1992 -- by which time he had scored an Academy Award, recorded 10 albums and starred on Broadway -- Allen was still identified in obituaries as the man who had been discovered by Judy Garland and was the first husband of her daughter, Liza Minnelli.
His songs, too, were hits mostly for other performers: Melissa Manchester with "Don't Cry Out Loud," Olivia Newton-John with "I Honestly Love You." Even "The Boy From Oz," the new Broadway musical about him that has renewed interest in his work, is causing a stir mostly because of the actor playing Allen: Hugh Jackman.
"Peter was never a name," says Carole Bayer Sager, a frequent songwriting collaborator of Allen's. "He didn't have a No. 1 record of his own, and people in the Midwest didn't know him. He was kind of a cult figure."
At its peak, though, Allen's cult was huge, at least in New York City. He sold out Radio City Music Hall so often in the early 1980s that he was named the concert hall's official personality. Former New York City mayor Ed Koch once called Allen his favorite entertainer.
His performances were distinguished by visual extravagance and Allen's seemingly unflagging energy. At one of his Radio City concerts, he came on stage astride a camel, flanked by a battalion of Rockettes. His costumes were similarly outrageous: all gold lame, sequins and gaping collars.
"He was very savvy about what his audience wanted to see -- great costumes, great pacing," says Ann-Margret, a friend of Allen's who still closes her cabaret shows with a song he wrote for her, "Once Before I Go."
But in contrast to his outgoing performance style, friends remember Allen as an intensely private man who shared little about his personal life even with those close to him.
Few friends knew he had HIV, for example, until his final days. And he rarely spoke about his childhood, which had been shaded by his father's suicide when Allen was 13.
Keep feelings inside
"He just kept everything inside," says Ann-Margret. His personal philosophy, she says, was, "Don't show anyone you're crying, and if you're hurting, don't show anyone."
He expressed those feelings in song with "Don't Cry Out Loud," which he wrote with Sager and recorded for a solo album in 1979. Manchester's version hit in 1978.
HUGH JACKMAN, LEFT CENTER, as Peter Allen and Mitchel David Federan as Young Peter appear in a dance number with company members of the new Broadway musical "The Boy From Oz."

HUGH JACKMAN, LEFT CENTER, as Peter Allen and Mitchel David Federan as Young Peter appear in a dance number with company members of the new Broadway musical "The Boy From Oz." Allen sold out Radio City Music Hall in the early 1980s.
"I wasn't writing that song thinking it was about Peter, but in retrospect, it does echo his personality," Sager says. "He didn't believe in crying on anyone's shoulder."
Allen had wanted to be a performer since his childhood in rural Australia. Born Peter Woolnough in 1944, he was performing in bars by the time he was 12, playing piano and mimicking the rock 'n' roll moves of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.
In the 1960s, he partnered with another local boy -- Chris Bell -- to form an act called the Allen Brothers. The act was managed by Bell's father, who booked them on concert tours of Australia and Asia.
Garland caught the Allen Brothers in 1964 in Hong Kong, where she was also performing. The Associated Press reported then that an enraptured Garland could be heard yelling, "Marvelous!" as she watched the show, and afterward introduced herself to Bell and Allen.
She took the two under her wing, becoming their manager and booking them as the opening act for later concerts she gave in Britain and the United States.
"Peter hit all those places that touched her," says cabaret singer Julie Wilson, who knew Allen and Garland through a vocal coach the three shared (Wilson also starred in Allen's 1988 Broadway flop, "Legs Diamond"). "He had the heart, the energy -- the same magical things she had."
Garland also introduced Allen to her daughter, Minnelli. The two married in 1967, although by then Allen had already begun to have affairs with men. One such tryst, recounted in "The Boy From Oz," apparently got the Allen Brothers fired from a gig in Australia in the early 1960s.
"I do believe that Peter did love Liza and there was a relationship there," says Sager. "I don't know how long it stayed sexual, but I don't believe it was a set-up marriage from day one."
'Tough relationship'
He and Minnelli separated in 1970. In the same year, he cut off his professional relationship with Bell to pursue a solo career, writing songs with Sager, lyricist Dean Pitchford and others.
"I watched him evolve as a performer. He was shy at the beginning, but then all the sudden his shoulder was leaning in, then one leg would go up on the piano. By the time he hit Radio City, he was on top of the piano," Sager says with a laugh.
In 1972, Allen began a long-term relationship with Gregory Connell, a model from Texas who was six years his junior. Connell eventually became Allen's lighting director and stage manager. Their relationship was close but limited by Allen's professional commitments and outside affairs, friends say.

Over the years or work as a .NET software developer, I noticed that I use the same IIS rewrite rules over and over again on different projects to solve the same business problems. Below I share examples of most useful IIS rewrite rules which I use.
Technically that is not a rewrite rule, but I would say it is one of the most important features for me because when you need to move rules between projects, it is very easy to copy a single file. Another benefit is keeping them separate allows easy version control management. When something does not work as it should it is much easy to look into a history of single rewrite rules file instead of going over every changeset of web.config.
Your rewriteRules.config file will look like below, it does not need the schema declaration and starts directly from <rules> tag.
There are a lot of debates if your website should be prefixed with www or not, my opinion that it should not, so I usually remove that www prefix by redirecting users to non-www URL with the following rule. The rule is simple, it using regular expressions to verify if there is www in the URL and it extracts hostname without www.
There are not too many websites left without SSL certificate and most of the existing sites already available on https. To avoid serving your content from two different URLs you need to redirect all requests to a secured version of your website using the following IIS rewrite rule.
This IIS rewrite rule serves to remove trailing slashes from your website URLs and avoid having the same page on two different URLs.
And the actual rule which you keep in rewriteRules.config file is below.
The rewritemaps.config file contains a one-to-one mapping between an old URL and the new URL and looks like below. For StaticRedirects you need to use the first section with the name "StaticRedirects," that is the same name as you have in your condition. Another two parts in the rewriteMaps file will be explained below.
In some cases you need to rewrite one URL to another, for example, you have a robots.txt page which your CMS serves on /robotstxt URL, but actually, search engines expect it to be /robots.txt. That can be done using static rewrite rule below, where we use the same rewritemaps.config file, with a different section of that file used for rewrites.
When you migrate to a different CMS, you may remove some pages from your website, because they no longer needed, but Google still has links to that pages and continuously trying to access them and gets back 404 error. To avoid that error and let search engines know that the page is gone you can use the following rule. It will let the search engine know that it should stop trying to access pages because it is not a temporary issue, but the pages removed permanently.

The Poppies: Honoring Veterans in Saguache Today
It's Veterans Day – November 11 in Saguache Today, the day set aside to honor those men and women who have served or are actively serving in the United States military.
The Saguache Veterans Memorial, honoring those who served their country, is located in the Hillside Cemetery. Photo: Saguache Today/Kathy Bedell.
One of the strongest visual image associated with this Day of Remembrance is the Bright Red Poppy Flower. So in honor of Veterans everywhere but especially those Saguache Veterans, here's the story of the Poppy thanks to the American Legion Auxilary website.
The Poppy Story
The tombstone of Saguache World War II Veteran Floyd Leroy Smith overlooks the town of Saguache at the Hillside Cemetery. Photo: Saguache Today.
From the battlefields of World War I, weary soldiers brought home the memory of a barren landscape transformed by wild poppies, red as the blood that had soaked the soil. By that miracle of nature, the spirit of their lost comrades lived on. The poppy became a symbol of the sacrifice of lives in war and represented the hope that none had died in vain. The American Legion Auxiliary poppy has continued to bloom for the casualties of four wars, its petals of paper bound together for veterans by veterans, reminding America each year that the men and women who have served and died for their country deserve to be remembered. The poppy, as a memorial flower to the war dead, can be traced to a single individual, Moina Michael. She was so moved by Lt. Col. McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields," that she wrote a response:
. . . the blood of heroes never dies
But lends a luster to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders' Fields.
On impulse, she bought a bouquet of poppies – all that New York City's Wanamaker's Department Store had – and handed them to businessmen meeting at the New York YMCA where she worked. She asked them to wear the poppy as a tribute to the fallen. That was November 1918. World War I was over, but America's sons would rest forever "in Flanders' Fields." Later she would spearhead a campaign that would result in the adoption of the poppy as the national symbol of sacrifice. READ MORE HERE.

Q: How do I access these weird JSON items with jQuery?
Possible Duplicate:
Selecting a JSON object with a colon in the key

I apologize if this is a duplicate question. I searched, I really did!
What I'm trying to achieve is a simple date re-format into something nicer like "Friday, March 9, 2012". I would LOVE to use one of the many convenient jQuery plugins to parse the readily available "pubDate" value into something more useful. Unfortunately there are forces preventing me from importing any other scripts, including jQuery UI. The page template mandated by my superiors imports jQuery and that's it.
My JSON data contains the following snippet:
"items": [
            {
                "title": "blah blah",
                "link": "http://url.blah.com",
                "category": "category blah",
                "pubDate": "Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:16:05 -0500",
                "y:published": {
                    "hour": "21",
                    "timezone": "UTC",
                    "second": "5",
                    "month": "3",
                    "month_name": "March",
                    "minute": "16",
                    "utime": "1331327765",
                    "day": "9",
                    "day_ordinal_suffix": "th",
                    "day_of_week": "5",
                    "day_name": "Friday",
                    "year": "2012"
                },
                "y:id": {
                    "permalink": "true",
                    "value": null
                },
                "y:title": "blah blah",
                "description": "more blah blah"
            }

If I'm looping over "items" using $.each, how do I retrieve the values for stuff in "y:published"?
Obviously something like
items.y:published.day_name

doesn't work because of the colon. Alas, I am not the creator of this content (it's actually the JSON feed from a Yahoo Pipe, which would probably explain the "y:"); I'm simply tasked with manipulating it. From what I've read, the "y:blahblah" entries are non-standard JSON (?) and probably not parsed via .getJSON, in which case I'm screwed. (Sub-question: is this assessment correct?)
(And just so I cover all my bases here: changing the Yahoo Pipe output from JSON to RSS/XML eliminates the "y:published" node altogether, so that's not an option.)
Thanks in advance. I have no pride; I would appreciate even the most forehead-slappingly simple solution, as long as it could be done with straight js or jQuery.
UPDATE: Answered in record time! Thanks to everyone who contributed.
The solution:
var niceDate =
singleItem['y:published'].day_name + ', ' +
singleItem['y:published'].month_name + ' ' +
singleItem['y:published'].day + ', ' +
singleItem['y:published'].year;

A: object["prop"] is equivalent to object.prop, except that the former is not restricted to valid JavaScript identifiers. (All property names in JavaScript are really strings internally. The latter form is for convenience, but as noted, doesn't always work.)
Happy coding.

A: items is an array, so to get the first item, you use items[0].
Then to access the properties on that item that have invalid identifier names, you can use bracketed notation, so:
console.log(items[0]["y:published"].hour); // 21

In JavaScript, you can access object properties in two ways: With dotted notation and a literal (e.g., foo.bar), or with bracketed notation and a string (foo["bar"]). The two are completely interchangeable, but with the string form the property name doesn't have to conform to the rules for JavaScript identifier literals.

about everyone actually could become a member, if you really wanted them, and if you worked hard enough to get them to join.
Of course, you (probably) don't want everyone in the community to join, for even ambitious people like you have their limits. You probably want to keep your group to a manageable size. At the same time, it's a good idea to keep your eyes open to all parts of the community for potential members.
Because if you can bring those different types of members into your group, it will be more representative of the full community; your group will stand to gain broader community support. With a multi-sector membership, more different opinions will probably be expressed and discussed; that means better decisions may get made And a diverse, multi-sector membership is usually also a larger membership -- you will then have more talent, and also more varied kinds of talent, at your disposal. The contacts and connections made in a diverse, multi-sector group lead to new community relationships. And these relationships can spark new community initiatives that might never have otherwise existed.
The next question is "How do you identify potential members?" It's is a very simple process: Know the different sectors of the community and identify and list key potential members within each sector. There is an assumption here, though -- namely, that after you have located your potential members, you will go after them, and work to recruit them to your cause. To identify such members, and then stop there, is of little value; you need to bring them on board. Identifying your members is just part of the process. The sectors of a community are its basic component parts. Just about anything that exists has such components. Living beings have organs and cells; nations have towns and cities; galaxies have stars. In a community, the basic component parts are often called sectors.
The downsides seem small. The upsides are that they can give your group additional range and power. This is an issue for your group to consider carefully. At the very least, your potential members should be listed from among these key sectors; then you can decide how much you want to pursue each one. There may be other social institutions that you consider important. Add them to this list.
Of course, a list is just a list. Those listed are potential members; they may have never heard of you. They are certainly not yet flesh-and-blood members who are going to show up at meetings and do some work in-between. To make them real members, you have to contact them. Making contact with potential members is not a casual affair. Such contact is a form of courtship. Like most successful courtships, it requires thought and planning. It's not going to be an easy task but if we don't exert the necessary effort, we will not be able to move forward. Let's do it.
We often hear the words from Matthew 22:14 "Many are called, but few are chosen." And it is often applied to various situations wherein only the best, the finest, the top, those with the strongest convictions, beliefs, commitments, etc. stay on to harvest the fruits, receive the rewards, gain the satisfaction of achieving their ultimate objectives and goals in life.
The same can be applied to Rotary. Just observe how many are inducted at the start every Rotary year and how many still remain at the end and who continues on. These are the Rotarians who have learned what Rotary is all about, what it can do for you and not just what you can do for others, though this is a prime consideration for joining.
Many new members confine themselves to just attending meetings, regularly at first and then less and less with time. Members who belong to this category soon becomes bored with the meetings as they cannot identify with what is being discussed regarding club projects and district or any other activities (including fellowship) outside of a regular club meeting. These members have failed to bond or establish closer personal ties with the other members. They missed the opportunity to make new friends outside of their respective clubs – with Rotarians from other clubs in the district, from other districts in the Philippines and in other countries.
These are the type of members who have not experienced the satisfaction of being able to help others, see the smiles and hear then unending "thank you's" of those who were helped, of those whose lives were changed for the better and those whose lives were saved.
For many of them, attending meetings soon becomes a burden and an unnecessary or even expensive exercise. Unless something is done to drastically to alter the way they look at Rotary, these members maybe already are considered as good as gone.
I guess the next logical question to ask is "What happened?" and "Who is to blame?" "Is it their sponsors, the club president, the membership chair, the past presidents, the other members?" The obvious answer is "all of the above." Trying to mold a new member to become a true blue Rotarian is a collective task and not just of one or few individuals. When members leave, the reasons given were either they joined for the wrong reasons or they were not properly Rotarized.
Fact is those of us who early on discovered what Rotary is truly all about, those of us who have learned how to enjoy Rotary and make Rotary part of our life – We have failed to share with the new members, the "not-so-secret" secrets of Rotary that made us decide to stay on, stay committed and involved.
This new Rotary year, we are again presented with the opportunity to introduce new members into the organization. Let's pledge and commit to keep them coming back and to stay on as we have. Let's make this our new challenge.
Any takers? Hello? Anybody out there?
Service to humanity is a single human's purpose. Compassion for life is humanity's purpose. Serving humanity means giving actively; we must heal our grassroots communities before we heal our country and we must create organizations like Rotary by which to serve. We all have special needs that have been served well by mankind before us.
Therefore we must endeavor to serve others and provide a path to inclusion for all; as each ant makes up a colony, as each stone creates a path, as each friend provides friendship.
I have been in Rotary for almost 18 years where we are expected to adhere to the motto "Service Above Self". Through my club, I have been involved in countless humanitarian projects which hopefully were able to make a difference in the lives of those who we tried to reach out to through the years. Although, I now realize this experience has also served me.
I have learned that everyone has a story to tell, and that through an individual's ideas, one can truly understand and learn valuable lessons in life. It gives you a different perspective of what life is all about and the role that we play or supposed to play.
My involvement in Rotary was not only fulfilling in terms of being able to help others, but for me it is also the friendship and close camaraderie that you are able to develop continuously not only in the community where you serve but worldwide.
Every creature has a purpose whether it's saving people from burning buildings, collecting pieces of sandwich for the colony, or just enjoying friendship. Every thing has a purpose, every moment has a purpose, every friendship has a purpose. Every life's purpose results in two things: learning or teaching – exactly what happens in high school.
I believe empowering humanity is the key to our future.
A single human is not eternal, but the imprint they leave on humanity is. As a society we must work together to help each other succeed in life, as the success of individuals collectively benefits humankind, and that is what we are as humanity—a collection of successful ideas. Humanity is a web, spun from a story. Humanity is a colony, built on a path. Humanity is a collection of friendships, created by a lunch period.
Sometimes the people we have to work with give us a hard time instead of their full cooperation. Our tasks become more difficult when the people we're counting on give us a headache instead of a hand. This is so true even in Rotary and yes even in our own family or with friends and colleagues.
Wouldn't it be nice, though, if everyone we dealt with not only gave us a smile, but gave us a gift? Of course, we cannot control the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others, so the only gifts that we can be sure of are those that we give to others. Since the joy is in the giving, why not become a bearer of gifts? Let's think about some gifts we can offer to others, gifts that won't cost us anything, yet are worth more than gold. The gift of Compassion. It is more than mere caring or concern. It is love in action. For example, someone at work is stymied by a problem and you have a spare moment, so you immediately jump in, without being asked, and offer a helping hand.
A moment's reflection will reveal many other ways we can express our compassion. For instance, when someone else is trying to speak, we can offer the gifts of Silence and a Listening Ear. Or when others are trying to express a dissenting opinion, we can agree with their right to have such a view, and use it to expand our own understanding, rather than try to convert them to our way of thinking.
The gift of Honesty. If it were a commodity exchanged in the Stock Market, its price would be on the rise because of its scarcity in the business world. We can make a big difference by helping to restore it. If we're in sales, instead of trying to sell a bill of goods, we can sell service, support, and knowledge. That is, we can be a help, rather than a hindrance. If we're asked about something we don't know, we can be honest and admit our ignorance. And if it's within our capacity to find the answer, we can make the effort to do so.
The gift of Recognition. People are criticized more often than they are recognized. As a result, they are starving for recognition. Because sincere praise is as rare as diamonds, it has great value. Thomas Fuller wrote in 1732, "He injures a fair lady that beholds her not." That is, he that doesn't admire a beautiful woman insults her! After all, if she took the time and effort to look good, shouldn't we acknowledge that?
The gift of Interest. What do you imagine is the worst thing you can do to someone? It is not to hate them, for hate is sparked by jealousy or fear. Although highly negative, such feelings at least recognize them. No, the worst thing you can do to others is to ignore them. To deny their existence. To have no interest in them.
The gift of Sincerity. One of the greatest gifts of all, for it is a beacon. When we act out of sincerity we act without desiring a reward. We offer each of the above gifts with no motive other than it is the right thing to do. Sincere people do not try to improve others, they just try to better themselves, but in doing so, they improve the world. Rather than trying to grab from life as much as they can, they try to add whatever they can.
The gift of Time. It is a priceless gift, for it is the only one that is a nonrenewable resource. In each of our lives, there is a limited allotment of time. Once used, it is gone forever, never to be replaced. Since time is the stuff our lives are made of, when we spend time with others, we are giving the greatest gift of all, ourselves. When we encourage others and cheer them on, we infuse their life with meaning; we make their life worthwhile. What greater gift can we offer? Each gift is not meant to be thought of in the abstract, but is meant to be lived. Not in the future, but now.

Q: Where can I find an Attrazione? This car is supposedly the fastest in the game. Does it have any dedicated spawn locations, or are they completely random? Where are the best places in which to find an Attrazione?

A: According to this wiki they will spawn randomly by civilians and have no know spot where they spawn. You'll have to be patient and lucky to find one.

A: Try New Baranec.
I found a majority of my Attrazione there.

A: I found an attrazione outside the saints hq. Hang out there for a while and you will find one.
It took me about 7-10 min to do so.

A: I had an attrazione and for some reason I lost it when i was driving it and started the mission for murder brawl 31... the location is usually random, though I find the easiest way to find one is to spend a while on the free way or in any places that seem to have the more fast/expensive cars (near the saints hq is one of the places you may find one)... hope this helps :)

Israel's Long Arm?
From CBS News, March 25, 2009, by Dan Raviv, CBS News correspondent in Washington:
...CBS News national security correspondent David Martin has been told that Israeli aircraft carried out [an airstrike in Sudan this past January, said to have been "in a desert area northwest of Port Sudan city, near Mount al-Sha'anoon," according to SudanTribune.com; in which 39 people riding in 17 trucks were reportedly killed].
Israeli intelligence is said to have discovered that weapons were being trucked through Sudan, heading north toward Egypt, whereupon they would cross the Sinai Desert and be smuggled into Hamas-held territory in Gaza.
[Sudan has become one of the favorite smuggling routes for Iranian intelligence, with arms from Revolutionary Guard bases going through Sudan to Egypt, and then reaching Gaza via the Sinai desert and the underground tunnels at the Philadelphi Route.]
In January, the U.S. signed an agreement with Israel that calls for an international effort to stop arms smuggling into Gaza.
...The first government official in Sudan to talk about [the attack] was the state minister for highways, Mabrouk Mubarak Saleem, who said: "A major power bombed small trucks carrying arms – burning all of them. It killed Sudanese, Eritreans, and Ethiopians and injured others."
...If Israeli airplanes carried out the attack in Sudan, it would suggest that there is a shadow war against Hamas and its weapons sources that is wider than the Israeli or U.S. government has revealed.

Olmert's Palestinian Failures
From BESA Center Perspectives Papers No. 74, March 26, 2009, by Efraim Inbar*:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Ehud Olmert lurched from unilateralism to final status negotiations to military conflict with the Palestinians, and failed in all three tracks. His failure in dealing effectively with Hamas in Gaza is the most strategically ominous. As Olmert departs, he bequeaths to his successors the need to deal with Hamas in Gaza and to grope for alternative ways to address the perennial Palestinian question in the West Bank. He did not move Israel further ahead on either front.

For Israelis to defame their own youngsters when their nation is at war and battling false international accusations of war crimes - is simply unconscionable. They are promoting outright blood libels against their own people.
A handful of unnamed soldiers in a discussion at a mechina (pre-military college) made unsubstantiated allegations concerning two isolated acts of indiscriminate killing and vandalism perpetrated against Palestinian civilians. Upon further examination it transpired that one of the two raconteurs was relying on rumors and had not even served in Gaza. Nobody verified the allegations or attempted to consider the acts in the context of threats such as suicide bombers. The IDF was denied the names of the individuals making the claim and was not even granted advance notice to investigate and respond to the allegations. Which begs the question as to why the informants failed to report the alleged malpractices in the first instance.
The accusers did not merely allege that their comrades were indulging in barbaric Cossack-like rampages. They implied that such behavior was the byproduct of the ravings of fanatical rabbis who had goaded them to initiate killing sprees. They said the message was that goyim - gentiles - had invaded our sacred land and had to be expelled for interfering with our conquest of Eretz Yisrael. The anonymous informants depicted an atmosphere of religious hysteria in which IDF rabbis "anointed us with oil and stuck holy books into our hands." They sent us "booklets filled with Psalms....we could have filled the room with the Psalms they sent." They claimed that the war was effectively portrayed as a religious passion.
THESE REPORTS cast aspersions on all religious Zionist soldiers and officers who are represented in IDF combat units in far greater numbers than their proportion of the population. They display patriotism, love of country and are frequently held up as role models of dedication and self-sacrifice.
For three consecutive days these unsubstantiated accusations against religious soldiers and chaplains were headlined and given front page prominence by Haaretz, the Israeli daily newspaper whose editorial policy and columnists like Gidon Levy and Amira Hass have continuously been demonizing their own country. Few would deny that over the past years Haaretz, notably its English Internet edition - has more effectively damaged Israel's image in the West than all the Arab anti-Israeli propaganda combined. Depicting our soldiers as religious fanatics brainwashed by rabbis has chilling parallels to the anti-Semitic incitement of the Middle Ages promoted by converts who turned on their own people. Such libels emanating from Israel during the anti-Semitic tsunami now enveloping the world fall on receptive ears. The entire global media - including even those who occasionally try to be more evenhanded - carried blazing front page headlines highlighting these unsubstantiated accusations as evidence of war crimes committed during the Gaza conflict.
EVEN IF THESE STORIES contained an element of truth (and there are no grounds to assume that), to depict them as the norm is like using Jack the Ripper to besmirch the British as a nation of cutthroat barbarians...
...As the final casualty tally emerged we learned that, contrary to the figures presented by Hamas, in fact 800 terrorists and 300 civilians were killed. That relatively so few civilians were killed in such grim urban warfare is truly a tribute to the IDF. To now accuse it of war crimes is to turn the world upside down.
In a campaign involving tens of thousands of soldiers, one inevitably encounters aberrations. But any Israeli soldier found guilty of violating the army's strict ethical standards will, as in the past, be brought to justice.
THERE IS ANOTHER crucial element to all this. The coordinator of these discussions was anything but an innocent bystander. The pre-military academy in which these "exposures" were aired is headed by one Danny Zamir, who upon providing the IDF with the so-called testimony refused to identify the informants by name. Nor did he wait for the authorities to ascertain the veracity of the charges, but rushed to release his "scoop" to his friends in Haaretz.
Mr. Zamir has a record. As a parachute company commander in 1990, he was tried and sentenced for 28 days in prison for refusing to stand guard over people whom he called "right-wingers" at a ceremony bringing Torah scrolls to Joseph's tomb in Nablus, then under IDF supervision.
In 2004 Zamir published a crie de coeur relating to his refusal to obey military orders, in the process of which he attacked the IDF and denied that Israel was a democratic state. This appeared in a book titled Refusenik: Israel's Soldiers of Conscience, which carried an endorsement by the icon of anti-Israeli academics, Noam Chomsky.
This begs the question: How could the IDF endorse a major pre-military academy headed by a post-Zionist radical, convicted to a jail sentence for having refused to obey military orders? It would certainly be inconceivable for a radical religious Zionist who had rejected orders to be appointed head of a religious pre-military academy.
Setting aside the damage done to the reputation of the nation at a time when every anti-Semite is salivating to find opportunities to demonize the Jewish state, the fact that Danny Zamir is permitted to continue retaining his present role surely borders on the insane. Likewise, for a purportedly serious daily newspaper like Haaretz to report such unsubstantiated accusations in order to promote a political agenda is mind boggling.
Who needs enemies when we have Jews in Israel exploiting freedom of expression to disseminate unsubstantiated and false allegations of immorality as a means to defame the nation and provide fodder for anti-Semites, Israel bashers and all who seek to harm if not destroy us? Even worse, promoting such falsehoods may create a climate among our soldiers in which they incur major casualties by hesitating to implement defensive measures to protect themselves against enemies renowned for hiding behind children and sending forth their women as suicide bombers.

Alternative Human Rights Summit in Geneva
From the Summit web site:
On April 19, 2009, one day before the international community gathers in Geneva to address racism, intolerance and persecution in the High-Level Segment of the UN Durban Review Conference (DRC) ["Durban 2"], a coalition of human rights, anti-racism and pro-democracy activists will assemble to place the most pressing situations on the world agenda.
The civil society conference will be hosted at the Centre International de Conférences Genève, adjacent to the Palais des Nations UN compound. Organized by an international coalition of human rights NGOs, this will be a parallel event to the DRC, in support of its aims of promoting universal human rights through the eradication of discrimination, intolerance and persecution.
Invited Speakers include:
Bo Kyi, Burmese dissident, winner of 2008 Human Rights Defender Award of Human Rights Watch
Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister and President of the Faith Foundation
Koffi Annan, former United Nations General Secretary
Saad Eddin Ibrahim, Egyptian dissident
Yoani Sanchez, Cuban blogger
Natan Sharansky, former Soviet dissident
Mia Farrow, film star and Darfur activist
MP Irwin Cotler, counsel for the oppressed & former Canadian Justice Minister
Raphael Glucksmann, Etudes Sans Frontieres, Activist for Chechnya
Dissidents and human rights activists from many other countries of concern.
Themes will include: 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; racism and genocide; democracy and authoritarianism; women's rights; the state of freedom in the world; the universality of human rights and its opponents; terrorism and human rights; and much more. Because of pressures for the DRC Outcome Document to add provisions on "defamation of religion," discussion on the protection of freedom of speech will also be timely.
UN "expert" biased
From The Australian, March 25, 2009:
THE US yesterday said UN expert Richard Falk was "biased" in calling for an investigation of Israel's January offensive in the Gaza Strip on the grounds it could be construed as a war crime.
"We've expressed our concern many times about the special rapporteur's views on dealing with that question," State Department spokesman Robert Wood said. "We've found the rapporteur's views to be anything but fair. We find them to be biased. We've made that very clear."
In a report presented yesterday at the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council, Mr Falk, the UN expert on the Palestinian territories, called for a probe to assess if the Israeli forces could differentiate between civilian and military targets in Gaza. "If it is not possible to do so, then launching the attacks is inherently unlawful, and would seem to constitute a war crime of the greatest magnitude under international law," Mr Falk said in the report....
Israel government spokesman Mark Regev last night slammed the report as "one-sided''. "Unfortunately, this is a further example of the very one-sided, unbalanced and unfair attitude of the Human Rights Council,'' Mr Regev said. "This sort of report does the service of human rights no good whatsoever. It's a politicisation of human rights.''
...The UN also cited alleged abuses by Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules Gaza. Ms Coomaraswamy said the group had been unwilling to investigate the charges made.
She said the abuses were "just a few examples of the hundreds of incidents that have been documented and verified" by the nine UN officials allowed into the territory after the war ended in late January. "Violations were reported on a daily basis, too numerous to list," she said.

Occupation Shmoccupation ...
From The Spectator, Melanie Phillips Blog, Sunday, 15th March 2009:
From Egypt, further evidence that the Islamist hatred of the Jews is not caused by Israel's behaviour or even its existence. It's caused by... hatred of the Jews. Here, Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya'qoub raves:
If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels – not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: 'The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.' It is Allah who said that they are infidels.
Your belief regarding the Jews should be, first, that they are infidels, and second, that they are enemies. They are enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing. Allah said: 'You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the disbelievers [sic] to be the Jews and the polytheists.' Third, you must believe that the Jews will never stop fighting and killing us. They [fight] not for the sake of land and security, as they claim, but for the sake of their religion: 'And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you back you're your religion, if they can.'
This is it. We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will not end until the final battle – and this is the fourth point. You must believe that we will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the face of the Earth.
Egypt, let us not forget, is a 'moderate' Arab state that has a peace agreement with Israel. It is nevertheless a major source of barking-mad Jewish demonisation in the Arab world. Here is Egyptian Cleric Salama Abd Al-Qawi warning Muslims against the Protocols of the Elders of Zion – the notorious Czarist forged claim that the Jews covertly rule the world -- and many US companies :
They [the Jews]began conspiring to annihilate the Islamic and Arab nation, to plunder its resources, and to destroy its youth. Regretfully, the plots they hatched are being implemented today in detail. One of their conspiracies, which stemmed from their black hatred, was to gain control over the entire global economy, bringing the world under their thumb. So they founded huge companies, which, like spiders, send their webs all over the world. The main goal of these companies was to erase Islamic identity.
... Many basic products, which may be found in many Muslim households, like the Ariel, Tide, and Persil laundry detergents, are made by Zionist companies. The Coca Cola and Pepsi companies and all their products – Seven Up, Miranda, Fania, and all these products, all the carbonated beverages, with very few exceptions that don't bear mention... Almost all the carbonated beverages are Zionist-American products.
[...] Some restaurants, I'm sad to say, are teeming with Muslim youth, and their safes are full of the money of Muslims... McDonalds is Jewish-Zionist, Kentucky Fried Chicken is Jewish-Zionist, Little Caesar, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza, Burger
King... By the way, all these products, which I have mentioned... In addition, there is a new type of coffee these days... All these are pure Zionist products, especially what is known as Starbucks, the well-known coffee. It is Zionist.
Ah yes, Starbucks: home of the Zionist genocidal apartheid bean. In January, Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi brought viewers of al Nas TV urgent news about the Starbucks logo:
...... The girl on the Starbucks logo is Queen Esther...the queen of the Jews in Persia...
[see this previous posting - SL]
...however, the female figure in the Starbucks logo ... has two fish tails. This is a clue that she is not Esther, queen of the Jews in Persia. She is instead a twin-tailed siren of Greek mythology. This is because the company is apparently named in part after Starbuck, Captain Ahab's first mate in the book Moby Dick.
What we are up against within the Islamic world is quite simply a wholesale negation of reason; nothing less.
From Wikipedia, on the Starbucks logo:
Valerie O'Neil, a Starbucks spokeswoman, said that the logo is an image of a "twin-tailed siren" (the siren of Greek mythology).The logo has been significantly streamlined over the years. In the first version, which gave the impression of an authentic 15th century European woodcut, the Starbucks siren was topless and had a fully visible double fish tail. The image also had a rough visual texture. In the second version, which was used from 1987-92, her breasts were covered by her flowing hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, used since 1992, her navel and breasts are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails. The original "woodcut" logo can still be seen on the Starbucks store in Seattle's Pike Place Market, and on both the House Blend and Decaf House Blend packaging.
At the beginning of September 2006 and then again in early 2008, Starbucks temporarily reintroduced its original brown logo on paper hot drink cups. Starbucks has stated that this was done to show the company's heritage from the Pacific Northwest and to celebrate 35 years of business. The vintage logo sparked some controversy due in part to the siren's bare breasts, but the temporary switch garnered little attention from the media. Starbucks had drawn similar criticism when they reintroduced the vintage logo in 2006.

Barak, Netanyahu agreement emerges
From THE JERUSALEM POST, Mar. 23, 2009, by Gil Hoffman and jpost staff:
Defense Minister and Labor Chairman Ehud Barak and Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu met early Tuesday morning and came to an agreement on a number of issues, narrowing the gap of differences which would prevent Labor from joining a Likud-led coalition.
According to Army Radio, Netanyahu promised that his government would honor all previous international agreements - including those made with the Palestinian Authority. Further, the Likud leader promised that his coalition would work towards a peace agreement with the Palestinian people, and in the region as a whole, Army Radio reported.
Barak, the report went on, insisted that he be included in every forum where a diplomatic or security decision was being made. Netanyahu agreed to this demand, as well as the Labor leader's insistence that illegal outposts and settlement construction be restricted or dismantled according to the law.
The negotiating team Barak appointed met overnight in an effort to reach a draft agreement that could be presented at the convention. Members of the Labor team complained throughout the day that the Likud was unwilling to compromise on key issues, but both sides expressed confidence that the deal would be finalized in time for the parley.
The deal is expected to give Labor five portfolios, two deputy ministers and a Knesset committee chairmanship. The guidelines will not use the phrase "two states for two peoples" but will make clear that past agreements with the Palestinians will be respected and that there will be a diplomatic process with the Palestinians and Syria that Barak would help lead.
Labor's team also asked for the right to vote their conscience against Israel Beiteinu's proposals for a loyalty oath for citizens, and to be consulted on reforms to the justice system.
Shortly after the announcement, senior Labor MK Isaac Herzog said he decided that he would express his support that the party join the coalition during a party convention to be held later on Tuesday.
"The agreement allows us to have important and dramatic influence on the way the country will be run for the next few years, and Labor will have significant involvement in implementing what it believes in: on welfare, economic, and security issues in the face of the challenges that the country is facing," Herzog said.
"It was a very difficult decision for me, and I'm aware of all of its meaning, and yet out of a feeling of responsibility, I believe that the political reality does not leave me any choice but to adopt the agreement and support it," he continued.
"I intend to respect any decision made by the convention and will work to prevent any split in the party that has been my political home my entire life," Herzog said.
The 1,478 convention delegates of the divided Labor Party will come together Tuesday afternoon at the Tel Aviv Fairgrounds to discuss the agreement reached earlier in the day, and to decide whether to join Netanyahu's national-unity government or try to bring it down from the opposition.
Supporters and opponents of joining the government both expressed confidence on Monday that they would emerge victorious in the secret ballot vote, the results of which will be available as early as 8 p.m.
Three speakers from each side will try to persuade the delegates, led by Barak on one side and Labor secretary-general Eitan Cabel on the other...
Monitoring Seditious Israeli Academics
From the "About Us" page on Israel Academia Monitor, by Dana Barnett, Director:
Who are we? What is Israel Academia Monitor?...
Lately, increasing attention has been focused on the activities of tenured extremists at universities in Israel. Israeli university campuses may be more politicized and contain larger numbers of extremists than universities in other democratic countries, people working to support the enemies of their own country during a time of war. Israeli universities are increasingly serving as bases for open seditious activism by a large number of faculty members, who serve as fig leaves for those attacking Israel and opposing it very existence, serving as the "Israelis critical of their own country" who supposedly clear the enemies of Israel of any suspicion that they operate out of ulterior motives. These Israeli academics justify anti-Israel terrorism, denounce Zionism as a form of racism, and denounce Israel as a supposed fascist country
To expose these extremists, Israel Academia Monitor monitors abuses of academic freedom and politicalization of Israeli campuses by radicals who collaborate with anti-Semites and bashers of Israel from around the world. The purpose of Israel Academia Monitor is to bring to light abuses of academic freedom in Israel, including on-campus indoctrination in political extremism. It is modeled in part on the highly successful "Campus Watch" in the USA.
... Among the many rogues featured on the Israel Academia Monitor web site are Oren Yiftachel from Ben-Gurion University, denouncing Israel repeatedly as an apartheid state, Neve Gordon, also from BGU, declaring that Israel is becoming fascist and is a terrorist state worse than the Hamas, Moshe Zimmerman from the Hebrew University comparing the Torah to Mein Kampf, Tanya Reinhart and Paul Wexler from Tel Aviv University calling for a worldwide boycott of Israeli universities, Ran HaCohen from Tel Aviv University endorsing Hizbullah attacks on Israel, and many, many more.
IAM documents the Israeli university faculty members who promote mutiny and insurrection by soldiers, who collaborate with anti-Semites and enemies of Israel, who sign petitions defaming Israel and Jews, and who support lawlessness and terror....

Khatami is just as rigid as the rest
From the Sydney Morning Herald, March 23 2009, by Colin Rubenstein*:
.... the issue is ... whether Khatami can be seen as a "reformer" and "moderate" seeking a genuine "dialogue of civilisations". The answer rests in Khatami's record rather than his rhetoric.
... Khatami left office in 2005 having accomplished relatively little reform: pro-democracy protests were brutally suppressed under his watch, and newspapers and journals were banned. He advocated the death penalty for homosexuals, continued the punishment of stoning for adulterers, opposed women's rights, and repressed minority religious and ethnic groups, such as the Baha'i.
Unsurprisingly, Khatami also believes firmly in the supremacy of clerics over Iran's political system - a bedrock principle of the theocratic regime...
...Khatami's foreign policy fell squarely within the regime's consensus: pursuing nuclear weapons, supporting terrorists and decrying the United States, the West and Israel.
Iran's covert illegal efforts to enrich uranium were exposed in 2002, during Khatami's presidency. Its nuclear program actually advanced under him - partly because he used his moderate image as a smokescreen to deflect attention from continuing nuclear activities. As a one of his former spokesmen bragged recently, "We had one overt policy, which was one of negotiation and confidence building, and a covert policy, which was continuation of the activities."
Iran remained the largest state sponsor of terrorism during Khatami's presidency, including its efforts - which Khatami supported - to fund and arm the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. Khatami himself said that "we love Hezbollah", and referred to it as "a shining sun that illuminates and warms the hearts of all Muslims and supporters of freedom in the world".
Despite his prominent calls for a "dialogue of civilisations" between Iran and the West, Khatami was prepared to go only so far. While he wanted a dialogue with the US at the people-to-people level, he repeatedly rebuffed US attempts for a government-to-government dialogue. But as the Iranian people are among the most pro-American in the Middle East, rapprochement between the two governments was the more important dialogue.
Khatami's call for dialogue does not even extend to the people level if they are Israelis. At a conference in Kazakhstan in 2007, he reportedly refused to speak to Israeli reporters, telling them to "go to hell!", and skipped a subsequent panel discussion because an Israeli was also to speak.
His views on Israel - which mirror those of the current regime - further undermine his credibility in calling for a dialogue among peoples and faiths. He has reportedly called Israel "an old, incurable wound on the body of Islam, a wound that really possesses demonic, stinking, contagious blood". And on another occasion, he said: "If we abide by human laws, we should mobilise the whole Islamic world for a sharp confrontation with the Zionist regime. If we abide by the Koran, all of us should mobilise to kill."
He defended Iran's opposition to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process by arguing that Israel is a "racist, terrorist, and expansionist regime". He said: "We hope that the roots of problems in the region and the world [ie, Israel] will be destroyed."
This is not just Khatami being critical of Israeli policies or supporting the Palestinians. He is clearly calling for Israel's destruction, in much the same way that Ahmadinejad calls for Israel to be "wiped off the map".
...His record shows there is no substantive difference between Khatami and Ahmadinejad or the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Calls for a "dialogue of civilisations" sound appealing, but one must question how one can have a constructive dialogue with someone who holds such extreme positions that are so widely deplored.

Hamas, Hizbullah can't be trusted
From Ynet News 16/3/09, by Roee Nahmias:
...Both Hamas and Hizbullah will continue to seek Israel's destruction and must not be granted any legitimacy, top security official Amos Gilad said Monday.
Speaking at a conference at the Interdisciplinary Center, the head of the Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau said ... both Hamas and Hizbullah are "entities with an incredibly radical worldview, but they're flexible in terms of timetable. For them, there is no such thing as defeat or surrender."
"If they sustain a blow, as happened in Operation Cast Lead for example, they may accept a temporary agreement. However, in terms of their value system, they can always violate such deal the moment they feel strong enough," he said.
..."They are capable of agreeing to a 30-year ceasefire and violating it after 30 days," he said. "Those who think that such agreements can serve as a basis for negotiation are wrong. We should never be tempted into strategic negotiations with Hamas."
'No chance for peace deals'
Turning his attention to the recent British willingness to engage in dialogue with Hizbullah, Gilad said: "I see elements in the Western world that are considering dialogue with these groups in an attempt to convince them, but it won't make a difference. It's possible to reach agreements with them, but we should never think this will lead to peace treaties."
Replying to Ynet's question about whether Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah's latest speech, where he hinted of willingness to engage in talks with the US, constituted a change in policy, Gilad replied: "Hamas and Hizbullah are open to any kind of dialogue. Legitimacy is very important to them. If the Western world is willing to recognize them, they will of course accept that, and this is what Nasrallah meant. However, they will not change their ways, and Israel will always be a target for elimination in their eyes." ...

Shas signs coalition deal with Likud ...now Labour?
Ffrom THE JERUSALEM POST, Mar. 23, 2009, by Gil Hoffman:
Shas became the second party to join Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu's government Sunday night, Army Radio reported just after midnight.
According to the report, Shas chairman Eli Yishai will take the Interior Ministry portfolio as part of the agreement.
The deal also guarantees the Shas the Construction and Housing, and Religious Services portfolios. The party gave up its attempt to appoint a minister for haredi education and instead will receive a minister-without-portfolio in the Prime Minister's Office.
Netanyahu now has a coalition of 53 MKs in hand from Likud, Israel Beiteinu and Shas. Coalition talks will continue on Monday with Labor, United Torah Judaism and Habayit Hayehudi.
The party will also have a deputy minister in the Finance Ministry.
Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert lashed out during a cabinet meeting at the possible political alliance between Netanyahu and Labor chairman Ehud Barak...The Likud expressed outrage at Olmert for interfering with Netanyahu's efforts to form a national-unity government with Labor by the April 5 deadline ..."Olmert's hatred for Barak has made him go insane," a senior Likud source said. "He cares more about preventing Barak from remaining defense minister than about what is good for the country, which is a national-unity government as soon as possible."
Barak's office accused Olmert of a "pathetic attempt to harm the defense minister in any way possible and at any price" and called on Olmert to "leave quietly." Sources close to Barak also expressed anger at Olmert for trying to persuade Welfare and Social Services Minister Isaac Herzog not to support Labor joining the government. Herzog's office confirmed a report by Channel 1's Ayala Hasson that Olmert had spoken to the minister outside the cabinet meeting and told him not to back Barak's effort to bring Labor into Netanyahu's government.
Herzog, who is Barak's No. 2 in Labor, remains undecided, and his decision is key ahead of Tuesday's decisive party convention. In a lengthy meeting with Barak on Sunday, Herzog told him that since February's election, he had leaned toward entering the opposition. He issued a series of demands on socioeconomic and diplomatic issues and requested in-depth answers in the coalition agreement that Labor and Likud would draft. Herzog's associates would not reveal any of the conditions, but stressed that they had nothing to do with cabinet portfolios. They denied a Channel 10 report that he had asked for Labor's second-best portfolio.
The report said that to satisfy Herzog, the Labor portion of the former Labor and Social Affairs portfolio could be returned to his present portfolio from its current home in the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry.
Barak appointed a coalition negotiating team on Sunday composed of Histadrut chief Ofer Eini, Agriculture Minister Shalom Simhon and attorney Alon Gellert, who served as chief legal adviser to the Prime Minister's Office under Barak. Barak met with the team on Sunday night and briefed them about agreements he had already reached with Netanyahu in their recent closed conversations.
The team is expected to meet with the Likud's negotiators on Monday morning...
Shas signs coalition deal with Likud ...now Labour...
