Lawrie happy with his approach at plate recently
SEATTLE -- Brett Lawrie's season has been frustrating, as the Blue Jays' third baseman hasn't been able to get going offensively. Part of the struggles come from missing a number of games due to injuries.
But Lawrie is quickly starting to turn it around, and he entered Tuesday's game against the Mariners with an eight-game hitting streak. During the streak, Lawrie has hit .414 (12-for-29) with a pair of home runs and a 1.192 OPS.
"It's important to get games under your belt, consistency," Lawrie said. "Just keep playing and playing and playing and getting more opportunities. The more opportunities you get, things are going to happen.
"Fortunately for myself, I'm in a good spot. [I'm] talking to some of the guys on the team just about hitting and just going up there with a mindset and a good approach and sticking to that approach. Getting my work in every day and just continuing to try to get better at this game, because you learn something new each day."
Manager John Gibbons has noticed quite a few changes when Lawrie's at the plate.
"He's fouling off some tough pitches, where earlier he was swinging and missing and he was out," Gibbons said. "He's using the whole field now. That's big. Unless you're just a guy that hits a ton of home runs ... you got to take hits the other way."

subset: commoncrawl


text: One of my favourite runs. It is circular so you can start anywhere you like and take it in any direction. Starting from my home in Forfar I'd head for Kirriemuir then the A926 to Blairgowrie and on to the A93 to Braemar. Now this is a cracking road. The first section to the Spital has lots of twists but a few blind summits to watch out for and needs bit knowledge to get the best of it. It is also pretty bumpy for a couple miles either side of the Spital. But from there to Braemar is terrific. You can wind on up and over the summit followed by a never ending series of bends to Braemar (just watch out for the odd sheep or two). After Braemar it can get a bit touristy at some times of the year so watch out for them and for a variation take the South Deeside road (B976) from Balmoral. At Aboyne (The Boat Inn offers good food and real ales) pick up the B976/B974 to Fettercairn over the Cairn o' Mount. Just listen to that exhaust note as you hurl down the other side From Fettercairn on to Brechin via Edzell and then the B9134 back to Forfar. This keeps you off the boring A90 dual carriage and you get to wind on up the Angus Hill with a great view over Strathmore, past the Aberlemno standing stones and the back down the hill into Forfar with a few nice twisty bits on the way.

Combining the glamorously bold crimes of John Dillinger and the bizarre mysteries of identity surrounding Anastasia Romanov, Geoffrey Gray's acclaimed novel, Skyjack: The Hunt For D.B. Cooper, will be adapted for the screen by director Will Gluck, best known for Easy A and Friends With Benefits. Veering slightly from Gluck's previous sex-crazed comedies, Skyjack focuses on the strange-but-true story of Cooper, who committed America's only unsolved case of air piracy when he hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in 1971, stealing $200,000 from its passengers and crew before escaping via parachute. The air pirate (which, by the way, sounds a lot cooler than "skyjacker") then disappeared into the woods, his true identity remaining a mystery ever since. Naturally, Skyjack will also take a look into Cooper's cultish following as both a folk hero who beat the system and an obsession for those who are still fixated on the hunt to uncover his true identity. Told from the perspectives of three different suspects who all claimed to be Cooper, the script from screenwriter Keith Bunin (HBO's In Treatment) is billed as an "action comedy," as what's more amusing than hijacking coupled with mental illness?

Here, kitty!
Q: Do big cats such as lions, tigers, and leopards purr
like housecats? G. G. Williams
A: There's no doubt that big cats can purr... just ask anyone who's ever worked with them in a zoo or circus, says Mark A. Pokras, director of the wildlife clinic at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. "Of course, they purr much louder than your typical household cat– tends to vibrate your whole body if you are close by."
Tiger trainer Sara Houcke, of Ringling Brothers Circus, told the New York Times that her tigers purr to her and she purrs back. That way, when the tigers aren't purring, she "knows they are in a bad mood" and stays away from them.
But being there within earshot when a big cat's in the mood is rare enough that University of Minnesota biologist Craig Packer says he's never heard a purr in 25 years of studying lions in the wild. When lions do purr, it's brief, probably issued only on the exhalation phase. So the lion-sound probably has little social significance.
The same hyoid bone structure that lets a housecat purr in and out hooks up in bigger cats with fibroelastic tissue at the vocal cords, limiting purring but acting like a slide trombone to unloose those mighty roars, says seaworld.org.
Q: Right at this moment, who are the happiest people on Earth? Where do they live? Are they rich? Working? Married? With kids? In love? Just won the lottery? P. Newman
A: Many factors we might expect to be associated with
Happiness– age, gender, ethnicity, physical disability, intelligence, urban vs. rural residence, parenthood– in fact are not, says Georgia Southern University psychologist Michael Nielsen. What's more, assuming basic needs are met, more money won't bring happiness (see Adjustment and Human Relations, by Tricia Alexander).
Still, differences exist, and Danes and Swedes rate themselves as happier than other nationalities. Working people aren't necessarily happier, but dissatisfied workers are unhappier. The same for marrieds. People with kids aren't happier, except for a blip upward when kids leave.
Being in love will bring the glad bluebird, as will winning the lottery, though neither is longlasting.
"So, I guess you could say the world's happiest people are those living in Denmark or Sweden, who moments ago won a lottery, who enjoy their work and marriage, whose kids recently left the nest, who get regular exercise, who are extroverted, have high self-esteem and a feeling of control over the environment, and are optimistic and religious. I think this means there are two of them!"
Q: Neither heat nor cold can mar it, acid won't attack it, slipperiness is its hallmark, the Manhattan Project (atom bomb) put its uranium-corrosion-resistant powers to use, much later Du Pont spread it on kitchen pans. You'll find it today also stretched into Gore-Tex water-repellent breathable clothing, as well as in dictionaries as "polytetrafluoroethylene." Identify this polymer superstar. E. Teller
A: Teflon, as detailed by Newsweek magazine. As to how something that prevents food sticking during cooking will itself stick to a pan, acid is used to etch tiny pits and grooves in the aluminum, then a Teflon emulsion is poured into the irregularities and baked on, says University of Central Arkansas chemist Conrad Stanitski. The heat locks the Teflon in place, thus providing the slick no-stick surface cooks the world over have gotten stuck on using.

reprisal, in international law, the forcible taking, in time of peace, by one country of the property or territory belonging to another country or to the citizens of the other country, to be held as a pledge or as redress in order to satisfy a claim. A reprisal, technically, is not an act of war, because it is solely in response to conduct that violated international law. When, however, reprisals are taken against a power of equal strength, they may provoke war. The Covenant of the League of Nations and the Charter of the United Nations classify reprisals as acts endangering peace. Modern international law no longer recognizes private reprisal. This was the right of a private person to satisfy a legal claim against an alien by seizing property belonging to a person of the alien's nationality. The authority was contained in a letter of reprisal issued by the sovereign. Private reprisals all but disappeared by 1800, as the central authority of states grew stronger.

With his side out of contention at the East Asian Cup, Australia coach Holger Osieck promised to make changes for their final game against China.
Osieck watched his side battle back from two goals down in a hot and humid Hwaseong Sports Complex on Thursday evening, only to concede an immediate third courtesy of a fine finish from the impressive Yuya Osako.
While not pleased with his side's first-half display, Osieck also believes that there are positives to take from the encounter ahead of coming tests.
"We are not happy with the score of the game this evening and I was not happy with our first-half performance," he conceded post-match.
"It took us way too long to play the ball forward and get into dangerous areas. However, in the second half, after the substitutions, we played the ball forward and created a lot of problems for the Japanese defence.
"It was good to score two goals in quick succession and I had the impression that Japan were really on the back foot. At that moment, we lost balance in defence and lost the header in midfield, but still the team responded and tried hard to score an equaliser.
"Down the road, when I consider the purpose of our participation at the competition, I will take a lot of positives from the game."
Osieck also had positive words for some of the less experienced members of his squad, with several younger players making a big impact in the second half.
Forwards Mitchell Duke and Tomi Juric both managed to get themselves on the scoresheet in just their second games for Australia, while substitute Mitch Nichols also provided an assist for his side.
"The substitutions changed our game, they made an immediate impact," Osieck continued.
"Mitch helped create a lot of opportunities in the attacking third; Mitchell Duke had an outstanding game, while Tomi Juric showed that he has an excellent striking technique."
Having watched the younger players seize their opportunities, Osieck plans to rotate the squad further in Sunday's encounter with China.
"The idea is that I will give all players a chance," he said. "It's clear that I will change the team for Sunday."
Japan manager Alberto Zaccheroni, meanwhile, was far more content with his side's showing, blaming fatigue for the Samurai Blue allowing Australia to come back into the game in the late stages.
The Italian changed his entire 11 following their opening victory over China, with his players having come into the tournament off the back of a gruelling run of games in the J.League.
However, in doing so, he saw some fringe players make strong cases for inclusion in Sunday's decisive fixture with South Korea.
"The main purpose for the match was to give many players a chance and to experiment," he said.
"That is why we varied the line-up and, because of tiredness, we had to change some players during the game.
"The Japanese side overwhelmed Australia, with a great degree of flexibility throughout the side. It's good that we scored three times, but we conceded twice late in the game as it became harder to control the game as the side tired."
Japan now lead the standings in the competition, having claimed four points from their two games thus far.
South Korea and China find themselves tied on two points apiece, while Australia are the only side now unable to win the tournament on one point.

Eugène Dubois
Eugène Dubois was a Dutch Darwinist born in 1858 in south Holland and famous for his controversial discovery of fossils in Indonesia that he labeled as Pithecanthropus erectus (later known also as Java Man) and ascertained to be the direct ancestor of modern humans.
As a young student he rebelled against traditional conservative life style of his catholic home region and passionately read books by Darwin, Lyell and Huxley. He was exceptionally inspired by book Natürliche Schöpfungs-geschichte, published in German in 1868 (and in English in 1876 with the title The History of Creation) written by German scientist Ernst Haeckel,[1] nowadays known for perpetrating fraud to promote the theory of evolution.[2] The book made call to "scientifically" establish, as a direct outcome of recent introduction of theories on origin and transmutations, a new basis of history of human race development without the inclusion of any "miracles". The strongest imperative should have been according to this call to trace human race back to the ape mammals. Dubois, who already as young freethinker in traditional catholic village fantasized that one day he will prove human evolution to everybody by discovering fossil link between man and other primates, adopted this call as his own mission.[1]
In 1887 Dubois left his position at the University of Amsterdam and signed up as a physician in Dutch colonial army. Four years later he discovered human-resembling bones at site near the village called Trinil on the Indonesian island Java. He named discovered fossils as Pithecanthropus erectus ("ape-human that stands upright"). After his return to university in 1895 he never gave up his dictatorial control over "his" fossils. He withdrew them from public and did not allow others to scientifically examine them while at the same time he was becoming more and more paranoid. Yet even without evidence available his elementary assertion that Pithecanthropus erectus was a direct ancestor of modern humans gradually won crowds of adherents.[1]

Bischoff in 1845, and that of a 4-week-old human embryo published by A. Ecker in 1851–59.14 Wilhelm His, Sr (1831–1904), a famous comparative embryologist of the day and professor of anatomy at the University of Leipzig, uncovered the fraud."

Protesters rally against Hobby Lobby decision at Connecticut store
EAST HAVEN >> The recent Supreme Court decision involving Hobby Lobby stores has rekindled a national debate about the relationship of religion and health care across the country over the past week and on Saturday, that debate landed in the company's only location in Connecticut: its store off Route 1 in East Haven.
Yelling over a blustery wind and the supportive horn-honking of passing cars, a group of about a dozen protesters rallied against the decision, decrying it as a major blow to the rights of workers and women everywhere.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that some companies can avoid federal requirements to provide contraception as part of their insurance coverage with no extra charge, if doing so is counter to the company's religious beliefs.
The decision has been cheered by conservatives and opponents of the 2009 federal health care overhaul but has set off a wave of protests at Hobby Lobby stores across the country, where groups this week have handed out condoms and engaged in confrontations with some of the store's patrons over the decision.
Saturday's protest in East Haven was organized by Women Organized to Resist and Defend, one of the groups calling for the decision to be overturned.
"We're looking to bring attention to how toxic and how dangerous this decision is, and how much it's contributed to the overall attack on women's rights and workers' rights across the country," said WORD Organizer Ina Staklo, as she helped to hold a banner that read: "We won't go back, we will fight back!"
Saturday's protesters, an equal mix of men and women spanning all ages, stayed in front of the store for about an hour. One of the people came separately from WORD was Yusuf Gursey, a tutor and retired physics professor who lives in New Haven.
He said he believes the Hobby Lobby decision unfair to women and chips away at the equal rights that many people have fought for in recent years.
"It's reflective of how the gains of the past decades are being taken away," he said. "These struggles are still relevant. We must keep pressure both on public opinion and elected officials and responsible people."
Proponents of the decision have hailed it as a victory for the First Amendment right of free religious exercise, saying it allows businesses owners to run their operations in a way that is consistent with their beliefs.
But the decision appears to now make it possible for an employer's religious beliefs to play a key role in shaping an individual employee's health care reality. And the possibility of such an intrusion has fueled opponents' anger, who see the Hobby Lobby case as the latest decision from this Supreme Court aimed at limiting the reproductive rights of women.
"Not the church! Not the state! Women must decide their fate!" the protesters in East Haven chanted on Saturday.
Even as the protesters waved their signs, held up their banners and yelled into bullhorns in East Haven on Saturday and across the country, it would appear that many obstacles remain to getting the decision changed in the near future: the Supreme Court has only recently handed down the ruling after a lengthy legal battle, the justices have concluded their term, Congress does not appear to have an appetite to pass a law to overrule the decision and taking the issue to state legislatures would mean a patchwork of solutions to an already complicated issue.
But Gursey said that while it might be a long struggle, taking the first steps like having a small protest is a good place to start.
Reached after the protest on Saturday, the manager of the East Haven story declined to comment on the protest. Multiple email messages to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is fielding inquiries for the company about the case, were unsuccessful.
After the ruling was released last week, Hobby Lobby co-founders David and Barbara Green appeared in a short video that was posted to YouTube and to the company's website in which they expressed their gratitude for the decision.
"The Supreme Court reaffirmed what our family has always believed, that America is a country founded on and sustained by religious liberty," she said.
But Saturday's protesters said they believe the decision could be used to discriminate against certain types of employees. And their opposition drew them to East Haven even from other regions of the state.
"I'm here because I'm a person and corporations are not!" said Maria Ruggaber, of Norwich, when she stepped up to the bullhorn, drawing cheers from those in the crowd.
Marla Ludwig, of Plainville, said she's seen people take issue with the decision on social media, but she said that's not enough. Ludwig — who used to keep anti-war signs in her car so that she could join a protest if she saw one while driving — said the people honking their horns should've been pulling over and helping to make people aware of the decision's impact.
"We can't sit around on our couches and do nothing," she said. "We have to do something and fight the good fight."

Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer in 2006.
Monsters Are Waiting back charismatic frontperson Annalee Fery with peppy arrangements driven by guitars on Fascination. Fery's keyboards playing is also an essential ingredient as the Los Angeles-based band pursues a decidedly 1980s approach. A few tracks, like the ska-influenced "Christine" and power ballad "Time" border on being overly commercial, but for the most part, Fascination is a fun, if not ground-breaking debut.
"Last Goodbye" isn't the Altered Images' hit, but with its chiming guitars and airy vocals, it would have fit right in on any of the U.K. band's records. Fery also channels Deborah Harry at her dreamiest on the mid-tempo title track and "Ha Ha," while "Firefly" is a bit more psychedelic. The off-kilter "Don't Go," sparked by Fery's seductive vocals, as well as the more energetic "A Perfect Stranger" and "Monsters" go a long way toward helping Monsters Are Waiting establish its own sound.

Too Early For This Phone
They came out with this phone to early. Nothing seems to work right.
Phone acts like it is going into Mute mode and you cant be heard.
3 ext Batteries a day.
Cheap plastic pops on back.
Phone reboots its self off and on
Size is to big
Lousy camera
Screen looks flushed out.
Going back to the iphone 4s until they get it together.
I wanted so much to love this phone.
I wanted so much to love this phone.
1. Picture and video quality is sharp and colors are warm and rich.
2. Phone is very fast and responsive with no lag navigating between screens and applications; pinch to zoom is fluid.
3. Screen size is awesome for viewing videos, movies, picture, etc.
4. Camera is fast with no lag.
1. Canât keep 4g signal and takes to long for data to reconnect when falling back to 3g. Only getting 1 or 2 bars but my wifeâs Droid-X sitting right beside it has 4 bars.
2. Phone feels lightweight and cheap in hand as if I am holding a slice of toast. The battery cover is a flexible plastic snap-on that feels like it is about to snap each time you remove it.
3. Battery life is horrific even considering the overhead for 4g.
4. Voice calls had a slight "tinny" sound as if the caller was using auto-tune.
5. Screen is rather dim, even on highest setting.
6. Internal and external speaker are rather low even on highest setting.
Ice Cream Sandwich is clean and polished but it is boring. I thought I wanted the "pure Google experience" but itâs kinda like a cheese pizza without sauce. The sauce is what makes the pizza. I never thought I would miss Motoblur or HTC Sense. I also feel like I am performing additional steps to accomplish task that only took 1 step in Gingerbread. I wanted so much to love this phone but the CONS were far too overwhelming for me to keep the Galaxy Nexus. I returned it for a HTC Rezound, which is the current heavyweight at Verizon, and I am happy. Google should have gone with Motorola for the Nexus.
AD reviews continues below...
1 full day review
Pros: Best Screen Quality out so far
Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
Pure Google Android/ No Bloatware
Pre loaded face lock
Cons: Battery Not What I thougt
No HDMI
NO External SD Card Slot
NO Swype as of yet
5.0 Megapixel camera "come on"
Over all it's a super cool dual core android phone but I'll be going back to the Droid Razr mainly for the HDMI which I already have the cable for and 8 megapixel camera and super sleek thin design of the Razr. This one is not the noticeable winner over Razr for sure.
Beware of antenna problems
Had this phone for two days an while Ice Cream Sandwich was awesome, I couldn't use the phone half the time because of problems with the signal. the phone could never hold onto a 4g connection. It would randomly switch back and forth between 4g, 3g, and no service. This was in a good signal area! I took it into the Verizon store and compared the signal strength to other 4g phones side by side and this always had 10-20db less signal strength than all the others. Even their display phone had the same problems. Samsung is known for antenna issues. Don't believe what Verizon says about a software update to fix the antenna problems. Artificially setting the meters to show a better signal will never compensate for badly designed hardware. I reluctantly swapped out the phone for a Rezound. Very glad I did. Don't believe it? look it up on Google and you'll see I'm not the only one.
I want to like this phone!
Everything about this phone is great. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the signal strength is horrible. This will probably be a deal breaker for me!
Really Happy!!!
As phone fanatic,
A Completely Truthful Review
I have had several android devices, my first one being the Nexus One by HTC. Although I am an android user, I will not be one sided like iphone users. This phone was a complete disappointment. Not just the phone, but the service provider for the LTE version. I ordered two of the Galaxy Nexus phones, and stay directly behind the service providers store. I was unable to get signal strength or 4g speeds on either device. After several days on the phone with the service provider and no fix. I decided to send them back and stay with my current provider. I ordered two Samsung Galaxy S II in white, and I am very pleased.
Pros: ICS
Con: Battery, no Facebook Contact sync, a lag time that is very noticeable when the device is turned to its side, etc.
Although, everyone likes different things these were some things that were important to me. If your anything like me, you will still try it out for yourself. I am just trying to help save you money, because even if you send it back you are responsible for the activation fees. Although, I had one bad experience, I will not be running to any of the iphones period. This review is for true android users, and not those stuck in the middle.
week signal strength
I had the nexus for 10 days. I truly loved this phone. I've had many 4G phones like the Charge, Thunderbolt, and the Bionic. I tried to hang on to the Nexus but the signal strength was a little week. I even ignored the signal bar and tested it against other phones like the Bionic, Thunderbolt, and the Rezound. The Nexus buffered during video play while all the other phones played through. Yes, I played HQ vs HQ and etc. The Nexus failed while loading INTERNET pages also. I loved the phone. I didn't have a battery life problem once I stopped playing on it all day and set the Widgets and etc. Up properly. I just couldn't handle the embarrassment from my friends laughing at my slow latest and greatest. Went back to the Bionic for now. Oh, I test the phone in 3g and 4g. Must be the built in antenna.
Could Not Wait to Get Rid of It
I ordered this phone the day it was released and paid for the overnight shipping so that I would have the weekend to play with the phone and set it up the way I wanted it. The signal was terrible. In my home (with my Motorola Droid) I would normally get -88 dbm or better. With this phone the best it got was -100 dbm. At my office, I was getting -120 dbm. Needless to say, no calls in or out. No data either.
Another major issue I had was with the size of the phone. Holding it in portrait mode wasn't the most comfortable but the bigger problem occured while holding the phone in landscape mode. While attempting to text, it was torture to stretch my thumbs across the screen to the middle in order to capture the letters. Might have been worse for me since I have bilateral carpal tunnel.
Battery life was terrible but you come to expect that with a smartphone. Additionally, there isn't SD card support.
I traded in the phone the first chance I had (two days later) for the HTC Rhyme and I couldn't be happier.
Wanted to keep it, but...
I've had this phone for over 2 weeks, and I must say that I really like this phone - nice form factor (feels much smaller than my previous Bionic), ICS is fast and smooth, great screen, no issues with battery life. However, the signal strength issues were a deal-breaker for me. Verizon's signal is fairly weak when I'm sitting in my office, so when I would receive a call, I would have to bolt out of my office and run to a different part of the building in order to keep the signal. The Bionic was much better at keeping the signal while still in my office. Also, the picture quality from the camera is horrendous! This wasn't a deal-breaker (if I want a good pic, I'll use a real camera), but I would expect better from a smartphone of this caliber.
Form factor
Gorgeous screen (although auto-brightness is too dark)
Nearly zero shutter lag on camera
Battery life - no better or worse than other 4G phones I've seen
Signal strength issues
Camera takes lousy pictures
I'm aware that a fix for the signal strength issues is in the works, but didn't want to take a chance and wait for that. I've returned it for a Droid Razr.

Qalandia village continues ti fight, two months after houses demolition
The village of Qalandia is still fighting for justice, after several houses were demolished by Israel end of July.
The most recent demonstration came on September 30, when dozens of locals took part in Friday prayers near the rubble of the destroyed buildings. The event was conducted in a large tarpaulin tent, which protesters vowed to keep up until they received compensation by Israel for the demolitions.
Several families whose houses were demolished have hired lawyers to fight their cases in the Israeli courts. Speaking to Palestine Monitor, beside his mangled house, Sharif al-Abdullah said he "hired a lawyer to follow the [case] in the Israeli courts" with the help of the local Palestinian authorities. But "until now there is no result."
Nonetheless, al-Abdullah was defiant: "we will remain here until our problem is solved. We need to be able to rebuild these demolished houses."
Dr Mustafa Barghouti, head of the Palestinian National Initiative, was also at the protest. Speaking to Palestine Monitor, Dr Barghouti stated that he visited Qalandia to "be in solidarity with the families that lost their homes…for unacceptable reasons."
"These are not just buildings, they are the homes of people. These people have no place to stay in. Many of them build their houses in debt. Now they have to pay the debt for the houses that were demolished," he continued.
For Dr Barghouti, Qalandia is symptomatic of an "Israeli effort to take away Palestinian land, give it to settlers, and prevent Palestinians from building on their own land."
In the early hours of July 25, Israeli bulldozers destroyed twelve houses in Qalandia, near the Israeli separation wall.
Locals allege that they were only given twenty-four hours warning prior to the demolitions, and were only informed via notices pasted onto the walls of their houses. During the Israeli action, one soldier is alleged to have said that he would turn the village into a "'new Syria.'"
The demolitions sparked clashes between local Palestinians and Israeli soldiers. Several Palestinians were injured in the violence, including the head of Qalandia council, Youssef Awadallah.
These issues ultimately stem from the division of the Qalandia village between Area B and Area C following the Oslo Accords. Area B comes under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority, while Area C is controlled by the Israeli military. 98% of Qalandia is in Area C.
Israel maintains that the houses were too close to the separation wall, and had been built illegally. But villagers point out that their requests for planning permission are routinely rejected by Israel. Settlers Watch reports that 94% of Palestinian requests to build in Area C are denied. Contradictory maps also make the extent of Israeli military authority unclear.
The Applied Research Institute (ARI) highlights other problems faced by the residents of Qalandia, including land confiscations for the construction of Jewish settlements. The separation wall is another difficulty. As ARI notes, the wall divides Qalandia in half, with many residents completely isolated from both the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Violence in the area is still ongoing. On September 30, a Palestinian was killed at the Qalandia checkpoint, near the village, after stabbing an Israeli soldier stationed there.

At your appointment time, a therapist will arrive at your door with massage table, fresh linens, lotions, oils, and music to ensure a relaxing massage. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your massage.
Soothe connects you with therapists who offer deep tissue, Swedish, sports, and prenatal massage. Any of these modalities can be performed as a couples massage, either with two massage therapists performing simultaneous massage or one therapists performing massage one after another. The therapists also offer chair and table massage delivered to your office or event with Soothe at Work and Soothe Events.
We will match you with the highest quality massage therapists available at the time specified. You have the option to choose a male or female therapist if you have a preference, but are not able to select the exact therapist that you'd like.
We're very careful about the massage therapists we select to join the Soothe network. We vet each therapist to make sure they are fully licensed or certified in their practice area. We also verify they are insured by a reputable firm that is well known in the industry. We accept only the highest quality therapists, with only about 1/3 of applicants being accepted on to the Soothe network.
In most states the process to become a certified massage therapist (CMT) requires applicants to successfully pass a background check conducted by a state investigator before being deemed safe to work with the public. All massage therapists working with Soothe have passed these government-sponsored certification measures. In order to become a CMT, a therapist must also complete a minimum of 500 hours of practical training, but some states require as much as 1,000 hours.
All of the massage therapists have the highest level of integrity and professionalism. In return, we expect all clients to reciprocate the same level of respect and conduct.
(In Canada, all of the therapists are experienced professionals; however, not all are RMTs)
Yes, absolutely! After your first massage with a massage therapist using Soothe, you can request to re-book with that same therapist right from within the Soothe app.
Soothe takes the stress out of booking a massage and is able to function because of the honor system. If you enjoy massages, we hope that you will do your part in keeping our eco-system intact. We strongly encourage our clients to use Soothe exclusively for all of their massage needs.
Feel free to undress to your level of comfort. If you'd prefer to leave on undergarments, be our guest. If you feel more comfortable nude, you may undress completely and position your body under the sheet. Therapists are trained to properly drape your body to protect your modesty and theirs.
When booking, we ask that you provide detailed parking information. Your therapist will do their best to find free parking. However, if your therapist is unable to locate free parking, you may be charged up to $25 of their parking fees once their receipt has been submitted. Charges will only occur if the receipt is submitted within 7 days of your appointment.

In Canada, clients who book a massage with a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) will be issued a receipt that can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.
You don't need your own massage table. The therapists bring the massage table, clean sheets, oils, and music to create the full massage experience.

Question: What is similar between the protests in Egypt and the protests in Detroit?
Today in Michigan Steven Crowder was assaulted by a crowd of Union Thugs during the "right to work" protests:
I predict that this will get the same condemnation and attention from Democrats local and national and the same attention from the police as this video from Michigan did earlier this year:
Bottom line our friends on the left are totally against violence and insist the police make sure speech is protected per the bill of rights, the Obama/Liberal version of the Bill of rights that is:
Liberal improvements are in red italic
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof unless it in any way conflicts with Obamacare, the liberal agenda or the need for 30 something college students to get laid without personal expense ; or abridging the freedom of speech unless one is a conservative speaker on a college campus, unless said speech in any way conflicts with Union demands or said speech could in any way be considered an insult to the prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) , or of the press unless the person chooses an uncomfortable time to ask a question to the Obama administration; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble unless they support Israel on a college campus, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances with the understanding that said Government does not have to answer said grievances. relevant section underlined
Clearly Steven Crowder's actions conflicted with union demands therefore they are not protected per the Obama/Liberal 1st Amendment.
If only conservatives would learn to be quiet and get to the back of the bus everything would be OK.
Update: Stacy McCain has a great roundup

In the empty factories and laid-off workers in this struggling section of the Rust Belt, entrepreneur Wil Cashen sees "unimaginable potential."
Seeking to capitalize on the trend toward more-energy-efficient vehicles, Cashen has a plan to retrofit pickup trucks with electric motors at several of Elkhart County's large, dormant manufacturing facilities and sell them to utility companies.
A native of neighboring St. Joseph County, Cashen would like to see this hard-hit area — which touts itself as "the RV capital of the World" — become the country's capital for electric vehicles.
"There's a real opportunity," Cashen said while walking through his field of dreams — a quarter-mile stretch of dormant industrial buildings around the monster Monaco motorhome factory in Wakarusa that closed last fall.
Opportunity, yes, but no guarantees.
Across the country, state and local officials, entrepreneurs like Cashen and even some of the nation's biggest companies see dollar signs when they look at so-called "green" industries.
Add in an estimated $85 billion in federal stimulus funds earmarked for clean energy and transportation projects, and you have a mad dash of sorts to gain a competitive edge.
"There's no question that a growing number of states, cities and companies are jockeying to expand their share of America's clean energy economy, and they see the stimulus monies as pivotal to that goal," said Lori Grange, deputy director at the Pew Center on the States, a research group.
In a recent study, Grange's organization found that the number of "clean energy" jobs — which range from weatherizing homes to building 300-foot-tall wind turbines — increased more than twice as fast as all other jobs from 1998-2007.
Now, with so much federal money flowing into these sectors, Grange expects to see "explosive growth."
That's certainly the hope in Elkhart County, where Cashen is seeking federal funds along with others. Among them: a startup that wants to assemble huge wind turbines here and across the Rust Belt; and a company that wants to put electricity-producing turbines in large water pipelines across the country.
An early beneficiary of the clean-energy stimulus funds are efforts to weatherize buildings, saving money and energy. The city of Elkhart got $500,000 to bundle up its 100-year-old City Hall and assess needs at other city sites, while La Casa, a nonprofit serving low-income residents, is going after similar grants after obtaining some funding to remove lead-based paint from homes.
'Green' ambitions
Cashen thinks the time is right for his company, Electric Motors Corp., —based in Malibu, Calif. — to dip into the electric vehicle sector, but his vision to transform the Elkhart region into the Detroit of the 21st century faces lots of competition.
For example, auto heavyweights Ford and Nissan and electric car startup Tesla in late June got $8 billion in loans from the U.S. Department of Energy to launch new hybrid and electric vehicles.
Also, Chrysler has made a pitch for $224 million in matching federal grants to produce a demonstration fleet of hybrid minivans and pickup trucks. Up to 165 vehicles would go to the U.S. Postal Service to test whether they are suitable for mail delivery.
In neighboring Michigan, Gov. Jennifer Granholm has vowed to make the state "the renewable energy hub of North America and the advanced-battery capital of the world." She's also built a "No Worker Left Behind" program that provides a $5,000 tuition voucher to retrain workers for "emerging" jobs like those in clean energy.
"Green is not the only sector we're going after, but it's really such a big deal," she told business executives who gathered for a National Summit in Detroit in June. "We intend to lead the nation into energy independence."
Ohio, another Indiana neighbor, also has "green" ambitions. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is pushing for a $30 billion fund to help small auto parts companies, many of which are located in Ohio, borrow money to retool. His goal? To turn the state into "the Silicon Valley of clean energy manufacturing."
With so much activity on this front, even some proponents urge caution when it comes to embracing still-small industries, such as hybrid vehicle production, as the key to an economic turnaround.
"It is a smart move if we don't push it too fast," said Dave Cole, chairman of the nonprofit Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. "It has to have a strong economic foundation and that will take a few years."
He added: "There's a tendency for people to underestimate the cost and the competition involved."
Even in the greater Elkhart area, Cashen's initiative faces significant competition. A Canadian company, Azure Dynamics, has quietly been contracting with Utilimaster to assemble dozens of hybrid delivery vans in Wakarusa.
Vote: Could 'green' jobs save the economy?
Q&A: So, how do I get a job in this field?
"We actually build them," said Jay Sandler, Azure's vice president of sales. "They" — referring to Cashen's company — "talk about them."
Like Electric Motors Corp., Azure is seeking stimulus money to further develop hybrid systems, according to chief operating officer Curt Huston. Hybrid RVs? "That's very interesting to us," he said.
Fast cars a path to hybrids
Cashen, for his part, took a roundabout path to the hybrid field.
He graduated from Penn High in Mishawaka, then spent much of his career around cars, usually fast ones: servicing, racing and selling Porsches in Germany and the United States. He later founded — and eventually sold — an automotive software company before semi-retiring in Malibu, where he builds replica Porsche 550 Spyders and became a Porsche guru to celebrities like Jay Leno and Kevin Dillon.
His vision for northern Indiana came into focus more than a year ago when he recalled his early days working at Holiday Rambler, an RV manufacturer that was later acquired by Monaco, where he says he saw firsthand the area's strong work ethic.
With so many RV manufacturers scaling back or shutting down, Cashen realized he could find plenty of able-bodied workers and empty factories to help implement his unusual plan to transform Ford F-150 pickups into hybrids by replacing their engines.
Cashen hopes to sell the vehicles to utility companies, which would take advantage of the battery packs on the hybrids to supply line crews with on-the-spot electricity in areas where power is out, without noisy generators.
Cashen won't talk about his conversations with specific potential customers, but Dave Meisel, director of transportation services at Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in California, believes the plug-in hybrid idea has some merit.
"We think the technology has real potential," said Meisel, who manages a fleet of 8,900 vehicles.
PG&E has 350 hybrid or all-electric vehicles in place or on order as part of an alternative vehicle fleet nearly 1,500 strong, Meisel added, and that should grow to become "a significant portion" of the overall fleet. But how big, he said, is still a big unknown given that the technology is still being tested.
In May, Cashen lined up a critical partner: Gulf Stream Coach Inc., a major motorhome manufacturer in Elkhart, which has agreed to spend $10 million to retrofit a massive, shuttered building for the assembly line.
Cashen and Gulf Stream estimate that the enterprise could create 1,600 new jobs by 2011 — making it by far the biggest potential new employer in an area where unemployment is near 20 percent.
Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center at Indiana University, likes the electric vehicle idea but adds that "it shouldn't be the only job growth in the area," since demand is dependent on government incentives and high gas prices — both of which aren't guaranteed to last.
One key to Cashen's venture is obtaining tens of millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds from the Energy Department to develop electric motors for the drivetrains and, not insignificantly, money from the Labor Department to train workers in handling high-voltage systems.
Cashen's strategy for dealing with uncertain federal funding is to ramp up his project slowly. But that also means there is little to show so far: No properties had been acquired through early July, and Gulf Stream does not yet have any F-150 plug-in hybrid prototypes available for viewing.
Still, many laid-off workers are hopeful that Cashen's project will bring new jobs to RV-centered towns like Wakarusa, where many industrial parks look like cemeteries, replete with well-kept lawns but not a soul or a sound around.
Marv Burns, a Vietnam vet with 32 years in the RV industry, is among the 2,000 people who've applied for a spot with Electric Motors Corp. — even though he's not really sure how the hybrid technology works.
That doesn't matter, he said, "I do know that it's brought hope."
