Welcome to the monthly meeting of the io9 Book Club. In June, we read Jo Walton's Nebula-winning novel Among Others. Jump into comments to get started talking about it!
For those unfamiliar with the io9 book club, here's how it works: You read the book. We create a special book club post on io9 when the meeting is in session. That would be the post you're reading right now. Then everybody talks about the book in comments for a few days, starting right now.
Walton will be stopping by to talk to you about the book this Friday, June 29, from 11-12 AM eastern time. I'll put up a separate post calling for questions on Thursday, so look for that if you want to ask her something!
So, what did you think of the book?
Want to get a head start on our next book? In July, we'll be reading Saladin Ahmed's Throne of the Crescent Moon, which we've been raving about for months (we reviewed it here). [Amazon] We'll meet July 24 to talk about the book, and Ahmed will join us in a conversation later that week.

Poetry From the Politicoes
It's refreshing to observe that stupidity still reigns supreme on both sides of the American political spectrum. This past week brought us two sterling examples.
On the left wing, a grand jury formally indicted John Edwards for illegal campaign contributions among other things. Now, if you have somehow forgotten, this is all connected to the child that Edwards fathered while cheating on his cancer victim wife. As bad as that may be on a moral level, on an intelligence level it went even lower because he continued to run for the nomination during all of this somehow believing that no one would ever find out. I'm not sure if that counts as hubris or just plain, old-fashioned stupidity.
Luckily, the right wing continues to support gaffe-making machine and friend-of-mediocrity-everywhere, Sarah Palin, in what we can only hope is a Steven Colbert inspired humorous campaign for the presidency. Let's roll the tape:
Seriously? I'm pretty sure that "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is de rigueur for all schoolchildren. On the bright side, Palin's newest adventure in creatively reinventing history allowed for this quip from Politico's Ben Smith: "Palin makes Bachmann look like Longfellow."
I'm sure there's plenty more to come from both sides since we're only a week into June of 2011 and the elections don't take place until the end of 2012. It's also safe to assume that we'll be bringing it all your way, occasionally with a little baseball flavor.

"Shinseki, Gates Address Unprecedented Forum"
WASHINGTON (Oct. 26, 2009) – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) are hosting a first-of-its-kind national summit to address the mental health care needs of America's military personnel, families and Veterans, harnessing the programs, resources and expertise of both departments to deal with the aftermath of the battlefield.
"This is about doing what is best for those who serve this country and using every federal, state and community asset to do it," said Secretary Shinseki. "We're proud of the people and the organizations who have stepped up today to make sure everyone who fought for this country gets a fighting chance for a sound mind and an independent life."
The summit, which opened today at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., invited mental health experts from both departments, Congress, the president's cabinet and more than 57 non-government organizations to discuss an innovative, wide-ranging public health model for enhancing mental health for returning service members, Veterans, and their families.
Striking down the stigma associated with the mental health risks of service in a combat zone is among the priorities of the joint VA-DoD campaign on mental health for service members, Veterans and families.
Various studies show a large incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder occurs during the lifetime of many combat Veterans.
A final report following the summit will summarize policies, programs and practices that show promise for enhancing the well-being and care for individual service members, Veterans, and their families. VA and DoD view mental health in returning service members and Veterans as a matter of public health and an opportunity to engage in a broad response throughout America.
VA operates the largest mental health program in the nation. VA has bolstered its mental health capacity to serve combat Veterans by adding thousands of new professionals to its rolls in the last four years. The
department also has established a suicide prevention hotline (1-800-273-TALK) and Web site available for online chat at www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/Veterans.

LONDON, UK - British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday deferred a crucial parliamentary vote on the controversial Brexit deal, that allows the United Kingdom to formally leave the European Union (EU).
Speaking at the House of Commons, where the parliamentarians were set to vote on the Brexit agreement on Tuesday, May defended her decision saying that she would lose the vote "by a significant margin" and would now hold talks with the EU leaders to discuss the matter, CNN reported.
"I spoke to a number of EU leaders over the weekend and, in advance of the European Council, I will go to see my counterparts in other member states and the leadership of the Council and the Commission. I will discuss with them the clear concerns that this House has expressed. We will, therefore, defer the vote scheduled for tomorrow and not proceed to divide the House at this time," May said.
In a light-hearted moment, the British leader said that she had listened "very carefully to what has been said in the chamber and out of it," drawing the MPs into laughter.
Commenting on the Northern Ireland backstop, May admitted that there were still "widespread and deep concerns". The backstop is a pact which ensures that there would be no "hard border" between the UK and Ireland.
While the UK is set to leave the European bloc in March next year, Ireland and Northern Part will remain a part of the EU after Brexit.
Although she did not divulge a new date for the crucial vote, May expressed hope that the problems in the backstop agreement would be resolved. She is expected to met European leaders this Saturday.
Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, meanwhile, dubbed May's Brexit deal as a "botched one", while criticising the ruling Conservative Party, saying that the "government lost control of events."
"The government has lost control of events and is in complete disarray. It's been evident for weeks that the prime minister's deal did not have the confidence of this House yet she ploughed on regardless, reiterating 'this is the only deal available,'" Corbyn said.
For long, May has been pushing for the Brexit deal to be accepted by the Parliament. She has repeatedly stated that "this is a Brexit that delivers."
A top EU law officer had recently stated that the UK could unilaterally cancel the Brexit process as the approval of the remaining 27 EU member nations was not necessary. The bloc also clarified that it would not renegotiate the agreement as it was the "only deal possible".
Leaders from EU nations also backed the deal and approved the withdrawal agreement, along with the Political Declaration on the future of EU-UK relations, during a special summit held in Brussels last month.
In 2016, over 50 per cent of the UK electorate voted to leave the EU, following which the British government had triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, beginning the country's process of its exit from the European bloc.
According to the withdrawal agreement, the UK is scheduled to leave the bloc on March 29, 2019, after which it will move into a 21-month long transitional period with the EU. (ANI)

Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast Wishes
While it's always fun to check out the DWTS Season 11 cast rumors and even the odd but interesting Dancing with the Stars Season 11 cast campaigns (part 2 even), sometimes it's fun to just let it all go and make up our own wish list of stars we'd love to see on the cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 11. One of the Pure DWTS readers, Travis, gave me the idea when he posted his wish list:
I Wish that…
Sarah Bolger (Spiderwick Chronicles Star)
Hilary Duff (Actress and Singer)
Matthew Gray Gubler (Actor)
Skandar Keynes (Chronicles of Narnia Star)
Anais Lameche (PLAY band Member)
Kimberly Leemans (Top Model Contestant)
Josh Peck (Film and TV Star)
Diana DeGarmo (American idol Singer)
Kimberley Locke (American Idol)
Tony Shalhoub (Cars and Monk Star)
Adam Anderson (Monster Truck Driver)
Alan Menken (Film Composer)
Michael Klim (Swimmer)
DeAnna Pappas (The Bachelor)
An interesting list. Although, like any good Dancing with the Stars list, it included a bunch of names that I didn't recognize and needed to Google to learn about them. Personally, I'd just be happy if Faith Hill would go on Dancing with the Stars. Never going to happen, but this thread isn't about reality. It's about enjoying the idea. So, on that note, let's see your list of stars you'd love to see on Dancing with the Stars Season 11.

We Beat the Streets
We are excited to bring to our readers, We Beat the Street, our first children's book ever! Similar to The Pact, We Beat the Street details our inspirational story of how we overcame obstacles and became doctors. Geared towards a younger audience, middle school and young adults, We Beat the Street offers instructional, dramatic dialogue through detailed life experiences.
Each chapter is followed by a one on one conversation where we offer advice on how to deal and overcome real life obstacles. We speak candidly and openly on ways to navigate challenging roads to achieve success. Throughout the book are pictures for the reader to enjoy, illustrating our lives. We Beat the Street is a powerful, inspirational, much needed story that offers hope to individuals from all walks of life.
It will motivate young people who feel that they have come to the end of possibility, encourage those who need a boost and blend perfectly with others who feel they are on the right path. Young people will read it, absorb it, and share it with their friends. Parents will love and embrace it. It is indeed a must read!
BILL COSBY, after reading this book, said with great enthusiasm, "All parents must read this book! First the parents, then the child"
OPRAH WINFREY, has excitingly labeled The Three Doctors as the leaders of role modeling naming them, "The Premiere Role Models of the World".
SUMMARY: Sampson, George, and Rameck could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. Like their peers, they came from poor, single-parent homes in urban neighborhoods where survival, not scholastic success, was the priority. When the three boys met in a magnet high school in Newark, they recognized each other as kindred sprits that wanted to overcome the incredible odds against them and reach for opportunity.
They made a friendship pact, deciding together to take on the biggest challenge of their lives: attending college and then medical and dental schools. Along the way they made mistakes and faced disappointments, but by working hard, finding the right mentors, separating themselves from negative influences, and supporting each other, they achieved their goals–and more.
In We Beat the Street , The Three Doctors collaborated with award-winning YA author Sharon Draper to bring their childhood, teenage, and young-adult anecdotes vividly to life. The brief "conversations" with the doctors at the end of each chapter provide context and advice in a friendly, non-intrusive way. Young readers will be captivated by the men's honest accounts of the street life that threatened to swallow them up, and how they helped each other succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
Excerpt 1 George–Age 8:
During the intermission of the classical symphony, a woman wearing too much perfume and a mink coat, even though it was the middle of spring, walked up to George and said, "What lovely sweaters you and your classmates are wearing."
"Thank you, M'am," George said with a grin, touching the careful embroidery.
"What private school do you children attend?" the woman asked.
Miss Johnson walked over to the woman and said proudly, "These are students from Louise Spencer Elementary, a public school in the Central Ward."
"But they're so well behaved," the woman said with surprise. "Isn't that school in the ghetto?"
Miss Johnson gave the woman a look that could have melted that mink coat and led her students away. George looked back at the woman with hurt and confusion. He wished he could have tripped the smelly old lady.
On the way back home from this trip, George, always the quiet kid, sat alone on the bus seat. "Mind if I sit next to you, George?" someone asked.
He looked up, pulled his long legs out of the aisle, and smiled at her. "Sure, Miss Johnson."
"Did that woman upset you?" she asked.
George shrugged. "I don't know. She smelled like moth balls."
"There will always be people like that, you know," Miss Johnson explained.
"Yeah, I know."
"And you can either let them hold you back, or you can ignore them and go on and do your thing."
"Yeah, I know." George didn't want to admit how much the woman's words had hurt. He changed the subject. "That was a good concert, Miss Johnson. I think it's really cool that you take us to stuff like this."
"Perhaps when you go to college you can learn to write symphonies or plays of your own," she said.
"College? I never even thought about it." To George, the idea of college seemed like something foreign and vague, like going to China or the moon.
"Of course you'll go to college. You're one of the smartest children in my class." Miss Johnson spoke with certainty. "I have high hopes and great expectations for you, George."
"Maybe you do, but some kids think it ain't cool to be too smart, you know," George told her.
"That's the dumbest thing I ever heard!" Miss Johnson said loudly. The other kids on the bus looked up to see what had upset her.
"You don't understand," George said quietly. "It's hard to fit in with your boys if your grades are too good."
"Nonsense!" Miss Johnson replied. "You don't really believe that."
George grinned at her. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess I really don't care what they think of me."
"College is cool, George. If you can fit in there, you've got it made."
"Doesn't it take a long time?" George asked, chewing on his lip. He felt a combination of excitement and wonder.
"It takes four years to complete the first part of college," she explained. At the end of that time, you'll be four years older whether you go to college or not, so you might as well go and get as much knowledge in your head as you can."
George looked out of the bus window and thought about what she had said. As the field trip bus got closer to his neighborhood in Newark, he looked at the tall, poverty-ridden, high-rise apartments like the one he lived in, the boarded-up and defeated stores, and the trash all over the streets.
"I don't know how," he said quietly, helpless in his lack of knowledge.
Miss Johnson didn't laugh, however. She just smiled and said, "It's not very hard. Just do your best, keep your nose out of trouble, and one day the doors will open for you."
For the first time, George could see a glimpse of light, a spark of hope and possibility. College. What a cool idea.
George–Age 8
Excerpt 2:
Sampson–Age 1 1
"Yo, Sampson, you want to go into business with me, man?" seventeen-year-old Eddie asked Sampson.
"What kind of business?" Sampson asked warily. He had known Eddie ever since grammar school and knew that Eddie had been in trouble with the police several times, so he wanted to feel out the situation before giving an answer.
"It's all legal, man. I'm straight. I'm gonna start me a carpet cleaning company."
"That sounds good," Sampson replied. "I always wanted to be a professional. Things are pretty tough at home, and I could use a gig."
"I need workers–men to help me clean up places like office buildings and stuff. I'll pay you good money."
"How much?" Sampson asked.
"I don't know yet, but it will be good," Eddie replied.
Sampson, always looking for creative ways to make some dollars, thought this would be a good opportunity. It sounded more lucrative than helping people at the local grocery store bag their groceries or carry the bags to their cars or for loose change. Any legitimate way that he could earn a little extra money sounded okay to Sampson.
"When do I start?" Sampson asked. "Well, your first job is to help me get the equipment. It's waiting for me at the store." Sampson figured his mother and even Reggie would be proud of him for making a wise judgment call. After all, Sampson had always considered himself a sharp decision-maker. The two boys walked a mile to the store, then wandered around inside for a few minutes, looking at the equipment.
As they were leaving, Eddie, whose hands were full, said to Sampson, "Grab that machine for me, man. We're ready to go."
Sampson walked over to the heavy carpet-cleaning machine and slowly pushed it out of the front door of the store. It was too heavy to carry, so he pushed it carefully down the sidewalk, in full view of people walking and cars driving.
Halfway down the block Sampson heard a police siren as a patrol car stopped right next to him. He looked around in genuine surprise as the police officers jumped out of their car and grabbed him. "Where did you get that machine, boy?" one of the cops asked him.
"From the store back there," Sampson answered honestly. "It's for my friend Eddie's new cleaning business." "And who is this Eddie?" the officer asked.
Sampson looked down the street. He could just barely see the back of Eddie, running away as fast as he could, about to disappear around a corner. Sampson's heart thudded in his chest. "How could Eddie play me?" he thought. Instead of understanding what had happened, the police officer saw only a boy with a stolen machine on the sidewalk. Sampson felt his hands being pulled behind him and the handcuffs being laced to his wrists. He was in total disbelief.
The police tossed him in their car, took him to headquarters, and booked him for shoplifting. No matter how he tried to explain his innocence, no one wanted to listen. Being set up was the same as being guilty, it seemed, and no one had much sympathy for him.
Sampson—Age 11
Excerpt 3: RAMECK–AGE 9
Nine-year-old Rameck Hunt had a difficult time in fourth grade. Sitting in the principal's office for the third time that week probably had something to do with it, but he sat in the "Oh-man-you-in-trouble-now" chair, and waited for the nun to come out of her office and yell at him once more.
"Rameck, what have you done this time?" she asked with a deep sigh as she opened her door and ushered him into a room that was so small he felt he could not breathe. The tall nun, dressed all in black, never smiled.
"It wasn't my fault, Sister. I finished my work, and I just wanted to see if I threw my pencil up to the ceiling real hard, if it would stick there. So I kept tossing it up, I almost made it, too," he added proudly. "Then a couple of the other kids saw what I was doing and started tossing their pencils up to the ceiling, so the teacher threw me out of class. Again." Rameck knew his explanation sounded dumb, but at the time he was trying to get the pencil to stick in the ceiling tile, it made perfect sense to him. He picked at a loose thread on his uniform. "Of course it was your fault," the nun replied sharply. "Someone could have been seriously hurt when the pencils landed."
Rameck wanted to tell her that he doubted if a falling pencil could kill anybody, but he figured he was in enough trouble already. He sighed and wished once more that his mother had not transferred him from public school to this Catholic school where the rules were strict and the academic work was easy.
"Why didn't you just do your arithmetic like the rest of your class?" the principal asked. "There were one hundred problems on your class work assignment."
"I finished it, It was easy," Rameck told her. "We learned multiplication and division when I was at my old school."
It was the principal's turn to sigh. "Rameck, little boys who cause constant disruptions in class never grow up to be successful people. You must learn self-control."
"I'm trying, Sister," Rameck said, "but I get bored, and my mind gets to thinking about stuff, and then I'm in trouble again."
The principal cleared her throat. "Your teacher and I think that perhaps you should be tested for Special Education. Perhaps your mind is not mature enough for a regular classroom."
"What's special education?" Rameck asked. He rarely got to feel special at school these days. Perhaps this was something really cool.
"It's a classroom where the pace is slower, the classes are smaller, and you would not have the distractions of so many academic and social challenges," the principal replied.
Rameck frowned. "I know what you're really saying. But I'm not slow, Sister. I like doing the work in class. Really."
"We will discuss this with your mother when I speak to her. We feel it might be for the best," the principal said. "Get back to class now, and try to behave." The principal looked at him through the glasses perched on her nose. "Oh, and Rameck. . ."
"Yes, M'am," the boy replied as he turned to leave.
"Tell your mother that her tuition payment is late." Rameck just rolled his eyes and walked out of her office. The principal made him feel angry and stupid. He balled up his fist and knocked over the chair that was reserved for kids in trouble and stormed into the hall.
Rameck—Age 9

If WiFi can track a heartbeat through walls, why can't I get internet in my corner bathroom? Jason Cole was trying to figure that out too, but unlike me, he's a PhD student in physics. So he mapped his own apartment and assigned refraction values to the walls (shown above), then applied so-called Hemholtz equations to model the electromagnetic waves. As detailed in his (math-drenched) blog, the best spot for his router was where you'd expect: directly in the center. Since that was out of the question, he was still able to get "tendrils" of internet by placing it in the corner of the apartment. His experiment implies that even in a distant room you could eke some connectivity by judiciously shifting around your laptop. Some commenters want him to turn his equations into a WiFi mapping web service — unfortunately, he thinks the idea is "unfeasible" due to the processing time and assumptions made.

Gazans hope for blockade's end
- Israel and Egypt imposed blockade to curb terrorist activity
- Israel has loosened restrictions on Gaza fishermen
- An Israeli official says the blockade will be lifted if Hamas recognizes Israel's right to exist
GAZA CITY – Flower farmers huddled around a fire to brew tea in a room stacked with carnations as they prepared for the export season, beginning early this month.
On a cold and rainy recent morning, the farmers weren't quite sure when their flowers might leave the Gaza Strip.
"We're always concerned and worried because the border with Israel can close at any time," said Hamdan Hijazi, one of five farmers in his family.
When shipments were blocked from going through Israel in the past, "we would give the flowers to our wives and to our animals," he said.
Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on Gaza of many exports as well as imports after Hamas took over the Palestinian territory by force in 2007. Israel's idea was to put pressure on Hamas to renounce terror, but barrages of rockets fired from Gaza at Israel over the years show that the restrictions on goods have not altered its behavior.
Hamas fired hundreds of rockets from Gaza at Israeli towns and cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israel pummeled Hamas targets with airstrikes to halt attacks. A cease-fire was followed by talks of easing the blockade Israel had been enforcing to keep weapons out of the hands of Hamas, which refuses to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist.
In the spirit of a truce, Israel allowed Gaza fishermen to go farther out to sea to fish than they have in years. Egypt loosened restrictions on individuals traveling in and out of Gaza, and tunnels at the Egyptian border are used to smuggle all manner of goods, including weapons.
Gazans say life and business will remain difficult if the blockade is not eased significantly.
"To have good business, you have to have free movement," said Mahmoud Yazeji, chairman of the Palestinian Chamber of Commerce for Gaza Governorates. "Now we are under closure. We are in the biggest jail in the world."
"We cannot export our products, so we cannot make a good economy if our economy is closed," he said.
Aaron Sagui, spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, says the Gazans need only look to their own leaders for the key to unlock the blockade.
Sagui says Israel will agree to lift the blockade if Hamas recognizes Israel's right to exist, accepts previous agreements Israel has made with the Palestinian Authority and renounces terrorism. Those were the conditions set by the Quartet — the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia — involved in mediating peace in the Middle East.
If that happened, "we wouldn't have to be worried about terrorists and the weapons reaching them," Sagui said.
Gaza borders Egypt and Israel on the Mediterranean coast. It is difficult for many people in Gaza, particularly the young, to travel outside because of overall movement restrictions by Israel and Egypt. This wasn't always the case.
In the late 1960s, Gaza was tailing Israel's economy, said Ali AbuShahla, director general of an engineering consulting company who is involved in politics, and by the mid-1990s, Gaza started to flourish.
"Everybody was concerned about turning Gaza into the Singapore of the Middle East," AbuShahla said.
After Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006 and a year later took full control of the strip in a violent takeover against rival Palestinian faction Fatah, which controls the West Bank, Israel and Egypt tightened border restrictions to tie Hamas' hands.
Before the most recent conflict in Gaza, almost nothing here was in short supply, experts and locals said.
Food, medicine and goods are allowed into Gaza through an Israeli cargo crossing once trucks are inspected for weapons or materials Israel says can be used to make war. Some goods are delivered through the tunnels, and others are locally produced. The main exceptions are heavy vehicles and medical equipment.
"People over the past six years learned where and how and when" to bring things, said Omar Shaban, director of Pal-Think for Strategic Studies in Gaza, a think tank.
About $1 billion worth of products come through the tunnels with Egypt each year, the Chamber of Commerce's Yazeji said. About $2 billion in goods come to Gaza through the single border crossing with Israel, although four crossings in total are equipped for commercial use.
In 2011, an average of 136 trucks entered Gaza each day, down 34% from the 401 trucks entering daily before the blockade, according to a December 2011 report by Oxfam, an international development organization.
Still, "regarding food, everything is available from Israel," shop owner Osama Zakoud said on a recent afternoon.
"But life is not about food," Shaban said. "You have food, but then you don't have fuel. You have food, but you don't have concrete, then you don't have jobs, then people become unemployed. It's a life. It's a package,"
Israel bans concrete, steel and metal pipes for private use from entering Gaza through its border, fearing Hamas will build military structures. The primary purpose of the tunnel trade is for construction materials, as well as cars and fuel, which costs more than 50% less than fuel coming through Israel, locals said.
"Everybody likes to get things from Egypt because they're much cheaper," shop owner Zakoud said.
Roughly 70% of food in his store on a recent afternoon came through the Rafah tunnels, many of which were recently destroyed by Israeli strikes.
The International Monetary Fund reported in September that Gaza experienced 20% annual growth in its GDP in 2010 and 2011 after the easing of tight restrictions on imports. Growth declined to 6% in the first quarter of 2012, but that was still far above economic growth for the region and the West.
Gaza's growth is due largely to a booming construction sector, according to the IMF, but unemployment remained very high at 30%.
The IMF said the economic slowdown in January-March was due to several factors, including "severe financing difficulties, declining donor aid especially from regional donors, and slower easing of restrictions on movement and access." In Gaza, it was "compounded" by a drop in agriculture due to unfavorable weather conditions and electricity and fuel shortages.
Until Hamas' takeover of Gaza, 85% of the territory's exports went to Israel and the West Bank, according to the Gisha Legal Center for Freedom of Movement. After the takeover, Israel banned Gaza from shipping to Israel and the West Bank out of fear that it would try to transit bombs that way and to pressure Hamas to change its anti-Israel position.
Israel does allow limited exports of seasonal agricultural products to Europe, though Gaza says such products are better suited to markets in Israel and the West Bank.
Israel allowed a partnership with the Netherlands for the export of flowers, involving about 100 truckloads per month at the height of the season. That compares with an average of 2,000 trucks that left Gaza each month before the closure was imposed, the legal center says.
"This season, I'm out of business," said Saady Hijazi, a distant relative of Hamdan, who grew flowers for 17 years. "Since 2006-2007, I haven't made any profit."
Shaban of Pal-Think says economic opportunity is a key to peace.
"We have more intellectuals, painters, poetry, art, culture, journalists," Shaban said, in addition to artisans and furniture makers whose history on the Mediterranean coast dates back 5,000 years. "This place could turn into a tool for peace, for prosperity in the Middle East."
Israel says that was the dream when it uprooted the lives of thousands of Israelis living in dozens of Jewish communities in Gaza in 2005.
Israel was told by the international community that giving Palestinians the whole of Gaza, which its military had controlled since a war against Arab armies in 1967, would bring peace and prosperity to the territory, said Ido Aharoni, Israel's consul general in New York in a letter to U.S. news media.
"In reality, the Gaza Strip has become a haven of terror," he said.
Gaza is home to the Al Qassam Brigades, the Hamas wing committed to Israel's destruction. Shaban insists that the more poverty there is in Gaza, the more radicals it creates.
Easing the restrictions would require a complete overhaul of Israel's policy that says the blockade keeps weapons out of Gaza and curtails support for Hamas.
"The economic undermining [of Gaza] is a key point for the Israeli government," said David Hartwell, Middle East analyst at IHS Jane, a defense and security intelligence agency in London. "The blockade works because it isolates the Palestinians. … it is something that's tangible."
Hamas has existed for nearly 25 years and has a police force, controls most of Gaza's municipalities, and saturates the judicial system. The group uses dictatorial tactics and disrespects human rights, democracy and personal freedoms.
Those in Gaza who oppose Hamas say they have little sway.
"We have two options: to have the rule of law or the rule of the jungle," said Khalil Abu Shammala, director of the Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights in Gaza. "Hamas chooses the second."
Last month, women were attacked by Hamas police for demonstrating in favor of Palestinian reconciliation. Six men were publicly killed, and one of the bodies was dragged through the streets for allegedly collaborating with Israel.
"This war put aside all the criticism against Hamas," said Mkhaimar Abusada, political science professor at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. "In terms of war, it's a time for the Palestinians to stand all together against Israel."
Many farmers remain displeased that politics affects their lives and economic production.
"I blame them all – Israel and Hamas," said Rafah farmer Sleiman Kahawaji, who said he couldn't export his basil as planned because the Israeli border was closed. "But we're hoping for tomorrow."

Sometimes, its not about what you say, its about participation! I plan to keep writing until the rest of the world from my past and present go away! I plan to keep writing until I write myself out!
I was brought up in a most unfortunate situation! And I write and write and write on it! and I will continue to until it goes away!
The hurt is all that I was kept from! I was kept from using my talents! or making it through school! I was thrown away! my advantages in life were destroyed on purpose! It was taken away and then I was given away! and this is the work of an evil sadistic nature; a sadistic sociopath! Evil; pure evil!
Will I come back! I might! I have to see and feel my real feelings, and then get them back without the props from the past! meaning, I start the play without any backdrops; I don't know where or who I am! or what land Im from! I have to trust God and start again as soon as I get my original memories back! and they seem to be coming back! I rejected them at first, they were to close to danger!
I was being thrown away and devalued! The people around me were devaluing me ! I don't know why!
I was completely hated and devalued! But there as nothing wrong with me. I was just as good or the same as the people that were devaluing me! I was no different In fact, I had been a positive experience with these people before!
They continued to attempt to make me into something worthless when I simply was not worthless! They tried to make me into someone with no intelligence or talents! and I was exceptionally brainy and talented! None of this makes an ######6 sense! Nothing does on any direction!
Why hate someone. Why not help them succeed!
No love! But why! God loved me! I was lovable! makes no sense! later, I was hated with contempt!
It was truly the biggest nightmare of sadness that can befall a child! To loose so much and no one cares! Nothing! They throw you away because you are a human being! its evil! and they don't care if they ever see you again! Its insane!
I have to be myself!
There was a me, but that person could not withstand the attacks of bulling and sociopathic parents that wanted me out or dead or never to return! or I was blamed as scapegoat for the evil! They were not real parents; they were sadistic! they don't count! and had no connection to me! They were using me! nothing more! and doing it in a brutal sinister way! they knew when they would pull the plug on the family system and leave me on the road!
I have to get back to the past, at a place that I was me, and somehow learn how to stand up to others! This is way off!
I can't see the past for what it was; it is marred because the people I associated with are friendly at the time the memories are created! I have no idea they are going to turn on me! So, the memories are associated with bad people that have not yet shown they are bad people! but the child in me knows what happened! and does not want to relive this anymore! But I must get the good memories then, separate them from the bad people I was associated with.
For example;
Say Im playing football in the front yard with a friend at his house! We play together, throw ball together, then head into his house, eat, and watch TV together! we talk about girls, then walk around the block!
IVe build some good memories! and Ive participated in my life! IVe played football, interacted with others, eat'n with others! walked around looking at houses with others! So, those were good memories, and of a time of confidence!
Lets say this person turns out to be a bad person! and I decide all memories associated with this person must be buried or forgotten! Its fine to bury and forget the person I was playing ball with! but I do not want to loose the fundamental building memories that define who I was as a growing boy! I need those, those are part of my developmental years! So, I must see them, and let go of the people , places and things associated with them! not an easy task! requires courage!
All of my memories were crushed into a meat grinder! these were my first identity! I never thought I would ever need another! but I ended up with another! I am part of the other! I am parts of many!
I like the first identity as child! that is the real me! the rest are protectors! or functioners! We function that the whole survive!
I look back now at what those people took from me or made me go through, or took from me! They took everything! did everything! My mind was destroyed!
I can see bits and pieces of me, this person, being kept away from his own good!
Now Im trying to piece all of this back together! So much confusion!

Burglars slip through doggie door
Thieves steal $5K worth of gold from couple
Some daring and small burglars struck in a retirement community by sneaking in through a doggy door.
During Monday's windstorm, Richard Lepp came home from calling bingo all day at the senior center.
He showed Action 7 News an overturned wheelchair, next to an upright broom near the door in his garage that leads to the back yard. He saw the doggie door was outside, and suspected a break-in.
"So I came over to the door into the house," he said. "And this doggy door was off."
He was right, but when he first called police, he looked around and didn't think anything was missing. So officers left.
"I have stuff there, for instance, an iPad, it was OK," he said.
Perhaps Lepp didn't notice because the burglars were careful not to ransack the place. Instead, they made a beeline for the master bedroom and went to work. The thieves took a pillow case and an entire jewelry box that sat on a file cabinet.
His wife didn't want to be identified, but said her gold was worth about $5,000. The only real gold the 73-year old has left is her wedding band on her finger.
"The only possibility could have been a kid or a small adult to go through these doggy doors," Lepp said.
In addition to the jewelry, his wife said the thieves took her bag of hair curlers and manicure set.
Police are investigating but no arrests have been made. The doggy door break-in happened in the Mark Twain neighborhood, the same neighborhood where a home invasion robber pistol-whipped a couple in their home last month.
That assailant has not been caught.
If you have information on either case call Albuquerque police at 505-242-COPS.

Born: 1924, Kovno, Lithuania
Describes living conditions in the Kovno ghetto [Interview: 1994]
Henny was born into an upper-middle-class Jewish family in Kovno, Lithuania. She and her brother attended private schools. In June 1940 the Soviets occupied Lithuania, but little seemed to change until the German invasion in June 1941. The Germans sealed off a ghetto in Kovno in August 1941. Henny and her family were forced to move into the ghetto. Henny married in the ghetto in November 1943; her dowry was a pound of sugar. She survived several roundups during which some of her friends and family were deported. Henny was herself deported to the Stutthof concentration camp in 1944, when the Germans liquidated the Kovno ghetto. She was placed in a forced-labor group. The Germans forced Henny and other prisoners on a death march as Soviet troops advanced. After Soviet troops liberated Henny in 1945, she eventually reunited with her husband and moved to the United States.

Cops: Man used zip-ties, syringes, cuffs on women near Chico State
Lonnie Scott Keith arrested Saturday
After arresting a man with the following items in his car -- zip-ties, loaded syringes, prescription drugs and handcuffs -- Chico police say they've caught a man who may be a repeat kidnapper, and responsible for several sexual assault incidents near the Chico State campus.
Officers called the arrest of Lonnie Scott Keith, 40, "an important arrest for our department and community ... especially (an) important one for our victims and potential victims."
Keith works as a physician's assistant at the Oroville Medical Center and Enloe Occupational Health, according to a news release from the Chico Police Department.
He is married with four children and has no criminal record, police said.
The Chico man was arrested Saturday.
Chico detectives were involved in an operation near Chico State's South campus in the early-morning hours, and spotted a dark-colored sedan driving in investigators' target area about 2:30 and 3:30 a.m., police said.
After the driver broke a traffic law, detectives stopped his vehicle -- and noticed the rear-passenger compartment had blankets and bedding partially covering the windows, the news release said.
He was identified soon after as Keith.
Keith told detectives they could search his car, and investigators found -- in addition to the aforementioned items -- syringes, loaded with an unknown clear substance; rubber gloves; several nylons and adhesive tape cut into strips.
Investigators later served a search warrant and found several more unusual items, including: metal handcuffs; metal leg restraints; the zip-ties, which were plastic and some looped already; more syringes; vials of prescription drugs -- each causing a sedating effect when introduced to the body -- more gloves and a combo flashlight/stun gun.
These items were hidden in compartments under the seats and the trunk, police said.
"It appears as if the vehicle was staged for another assault," officers wrote in the release.
Over the course of the last 18 months, police had been investigating reports of kidnappings, attempted kidnappings and sex assaults -- specifically, on the South campus.
Two of the most recent alleged attacks took place in September and October 2012, police said.
The victims reporting these assaults told police they were forced into either the back seat of a dark-colored sedan, or the rear cargo area of a dark-colored, larger SUV.
The former happened in September while the latter took place in October, officers said.
The victims were both injected with a substance, which caused a sedating, drowsy-like effect.
Police said at least one of the women was sexually assaulted.
One of the victims described the back of the vehicle she was in -- which matched police's description of the condition of the sedan that detectives pulled over Saturday, with blankets covering much of the interior.
The October victim said the SUV's rear window was covered, as well.
In at least one of the incidents, the suspect wore rubber gloves, along with a nylon stocking over his face, police said.
Both victims had their hands and feet bound with the zip-ties and their eyes covered with tape.
"Several of the prescription vials (found in Keith's vehicle) contain a specific substance found in one of our victims' toxicology screen after the October kidnap/sexual assault," police wrote in the release.
These investigations remain active, and DNA evidence is being processed, police said.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office is looking into a similar incident under its jurisdiction.
So far, for the two alleged incidents last fall, Keith was charged with two counts of kidnapping, one count of rape and one count of assault with intent to commit rape, officers said.
He faces 32 years to life in prison, if he's convicted and sentenced.
Keith appeared in court Wednesday morning and pleaded not guilty.
The investigation started in August 2011.
Police have possession of both his dark-colored sedan and dark-colored SUV. Both are being combed for evidence.
His bond is set at $3.2 million.

You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
When you have time off, you want to relax and have fun. So the closer to sport facilities, beauty salons and spas, running tracks and interesting places, the better.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is a tool which helps people to know more about their neighborhood. The website is equipped with maps, graphs and Life Quality Index ratings as well as look through house, street or zip code profiles.

Before pressing play on the above video, do yourself a favor and take a moment to think about it. You could go the rest of your life having never seen a tank of wriggling fish that happen to look like detached, bloated and reanimated human penises. Would this be such a bad thing? Maybe not! Instead of watching the video, you could put your energy into learning a new hobby — start writing poetry or rollerblading. Really, you could do many other things that would probably be a lot more rewarding and a lot less disturbing. No? Okay, let's carry on.
This is Urechis unicinctus, a species of marine spoon worm (shudder) that's known more fondly as the penis fish. Furthermore, they are readily available at South Korean fish markets and eagerly awaiting human consumption. To be fair, when cooked, the penis fish doesn't look quite as disgusting and, according to this lady, don't taste "that bad."
Very well. A round of penis fish for me and my friends!

Jeremy Grantham, co-founder and chief investment strategist of Grantham Mayo van Otterloo, has a lot to say about market bubbles, pain and timing in his latest quarterly newsletter, released Thursday, and much (but not all) of it is highly specific.
"It is a sensible expectation that reasonable long-term value investors will endure pain in a bubble. It is almost a rule," the market guru stated.
"The pain will be psychological and will come from looking like an old fuddy-duddy [by getting out of the markets when they are reaching bubble-like conditions] … looking as if you have lost your way in the new golden era where some important things, which you have obviously missed, are different this time," he explained. And he states that this market run-up "will end badly" sometime in the fourth quarter of 2016.
For advisors and other professionals, this pain also could come "from loss of client respect, which always hurts, and loss of peer group respect, which can be irritating," Grantham adds. But that's the price of being a value investor, he says, who "invest exclusively on long-term values and long-term risks."
How can investors and advisors best define a bubble?
GMO analysis suggests that "a two-standard-deviation (or 2-sigma) event might be a useful boundary definition for a bubble. In a normally distributed world, a 2-sigma event would occur every 44 years," Grantham explains.
"GMO has spent a lot of time during the last 17 years making a considerable review of minor bubbles as well as the 28 major ones that we covered originally in 1997," he added. "One thing was clear from the 330 examples we had studied: 2-sigma events in our real world have tended to occur not every 44 years, but about every 31 years."
The six most important asset bubbles in modern times, in Grantham's opinion, have been those of U.S. stocks in 1929, 1965 and 2000, U.S. residential property in 2005 and Japanese stocks in 1990, as well as Japanese commercial property in 1991.
The financial expert points out that in 2008, the U.S. housing market leapt past 2-sigma "all the way to 3.5-sigma (a 1 in 5,000-year event!)."
What also made 2008 unique, he adds, was "the near universality of its asset class overpricing: every equity market, almost all real estate markets (Japan and Germany abstained), and, of course, a fully-fledged bubble in oil and many other commodities."
Though Grantham and his colleagues warned of a "first truly global bubble" in April 2007, they didn't have the full statistical analysis of its significance until very recently.
The mess of 2008 is "unique in other ways," he notes, adding that the housing market in 1929 was "more or less normal and the commodity markets were curiously very depressed."
And today? Statistically, GMO analysis finds that we are "far off the pace still on both of the two most reliable indicators of value," which the group says are Tobin's Q (price to replacement cost) and the Shiller P/E (current price to the last 10 years of inflation-adjusted earnings). Both figures were at roughly a 1.4-sigma event at the end of March.
To get to 2-sigma, the S&P 500 would have to move to 2,250.
How likely is that?
Looking at the Greenspan Put, which Grantham says could be best described as the "Greenspan-Bernanke-Yellen Put," he describes GMO's analysis of the markets in relationship to the four-year election cycle.
"Enough professionals hear and understand the subtext of the Fed's message: if you speculate in year one and two and something goes wrong, you are on your own. But in years three and four, and especially three, we at the Fed will do whatever we can to bail you out in a crisis," he explained.
"And long before Greenspan – that ultimate Pied Piper who appeared to lead not the rats but perhaps the pigs – astute market players heard the message. So how much more they must have listened as the piping got louder and louder and the promises were more and more often delivered on in the Greenspan era," Grantham stressed.
What Greenspan did, overall, is to tell investors he "would not interfere with bubbles" and instead but would "try to reduce the pain of bubbles breaking."
When looking at the related question of which investors truly believe in (and, by extension, follow up on) the Fed put, he notes that long-term value managers "are outnumbered by momentum managers – always were and probably always will be."
Momentum managers are likely to play the game today "with even more enthusiasm" than before, says Grantham, "at least enough to drive the market to its 2-sigma level" of 2,250.
"And although nothing is certain in the market, this is exactly what I believe will happen."
Taking a peak at John Hussman's analysis, which indicates an overpricing for the U.S. markets that ranges from 75% overpriced to 125% at the end of March, the GMO expert says he agrees "with the spirit of this data."
However, the GMO team prefers its seven-year forecast, which has the market overvalued at 65%. (At 2,250, however, which is GMO's 2-sigma target, the market would be about 100% overpriced.)
Grantham acknowledges the relevance and strength of Hussman's work and predictions.
Still, he concludes that they are "less likely than my suggestion of a substantial and quite lengthy last hurrah."
For bears, Grantham points to the so-called January Rule, which argues that how the markets move in January predicts how they will end the year – and has been a strong predictor, like the Presidential Cycle.
And, the expert argues, this year could be difficult "with the February 1 to October 1 period being just as likely to be down as up, perhaps a little more so."
However, after October 1, the market is "likely to be strong," Grantham concludes, "especially through April and by then or in the following 18 months up to the next election (or, horrible possibility, even longer) will have rallied past 2,250, perhaps by a decent margin."
Next, the election will come, and soon thereafter, the market bubble "will burst, as bubbles always do, and will revert to its trend value, around half of its peak or worse, depending on what new ammunition the Fed can dig up."
Other Scenarios
The bull market, of course, can "come to an end any time," Grantham admits.
The possible reasons for a drop include "disappointing global growth, profits sagging as deficits are cut, a Russian miscalculation, or, perhaps most dangerous and likely, an extreme Chinese slowdown."
But, he puts the chance at a continuation of the bull run at over 50% for "at least a year or two and probably not before it reaches a level in excess of 2,250 on the S&P 500."
That may be the good news for investors, for the next year and half.
But stay tuned, he adds, because this market uptick (like others in the past) at some point "will end badly."
"Around the election [in 2016] or soon after, the market bubble will burst, as bubbles always do, and will revert to its trend value, around half of its peak or worse, depending on what new ammunition the Fed can dig up."

Getting pregnant (conception) happens when a man's sperm fertilises a woman's egg. For some women this happens quickly, but for others it can take longer.
Out of every 100 couples trying for a baby, 80 to 90 will get pregnant within 1 year. The rest will take longer, or may need help to conceive.
To understand conception and pregnancy, it helps to know about the male and female sexual organs, and to understand how a woman's monthly menstrual cycle and periods work.
The menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of a woman's period (day 1). Some time after her period she will ovulate, and then around 12-16 days after this she'll have her next period. The average cycle takes 28 days, but shorter or longer cycles are normal.
The best time to get pregnant
You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long.
An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released. For pregnancy to happen, the egg must be fertilised by a sperm within this time.
Sperm can live for up to 7 days inside a woman's body. So if you've had sex in the days before ovulation, the sperm will have had time to travel up the fallopian tubes to "wait" for the egg to be released.
It's difficult to know exactly when ovulation happens, unless you are practising natural family planning, or fertility awareness.
Have frequent sex
If you want to get pregnant, having sex every 2 to 3 days throughout the month will give you the best chance.
You don't need to time having sex only around ovulation.
The male sexual organs
The penis: this is made of sponge-like erectile tissue that becomes hard when filled with blood.
Testes: men have two testes (testicles), which are glands where sperm are made and stored.
Scrotum: this is a bag of skin outside the body beneath the penis. It contains the testes and helps to keep them at a constant temperature just below body temperature. When it's warm, the scrotum hangs down, away from the body, to help keep the testes cool. When it's cold, the scrotum draws up, closer to the body for warmth.
Vas deferens: these are two tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the prostate and other glands.
Prostate gland: this gland produces secretions that are ejaculated with the sperm.
Urethra: this is a tube that runs down the length of the penis from the bladder, through the prostate gland to an opening at the tip of the penis. Sperm travel down this tube to be ejaculated.
Read about penis health.
The female sexual organs
A woman's reproductive system is made up of both external and internal organs. These are found in the pelvic area, the part of the body below the belly button.
The external organs are known as the vulva. This includes the opening of the vagina, the inner and outer lips (labia) and the clitoris.
The woman's internal organs are made up of:
The pelvis: this is the bony structure around the hip area, which the baby will pass through when he or she is born.
Womb or uterus: the womb is about the size and shape of a small, upside-down pear. It's made of muscle and grows in size as the baby grows inside it.
Fallopian tubes: these lead from the ovaries to the womb. Eggs are released from the ovaries into the fallopian tubes each month, and this is where fertilisation takes place.
Ovaries: there are 2 ovaries, each about the size of an almond; they produce the eggs, or ova.
Cervix: this is the neck of the womb. It's normally almost closed, with just a small opening through which blood passes during the monthly period. During labour, the cervix dilates (opens) to let the baby move from the uterus into the vagina.
Vagina: the vagina is a tube about 3 inches (8cm) long, which leads from the cervix down to the vulva, where it opens between the legs. The vagina is very elastic, so it can easily stretch around a man's penis, or around a baby during labour.
Read about vagina health.
The woman's monthly cycle
The video below at the bottom of the page shows what happens during the menstrual cycle.
Ovulation occurs each month when an egg is released from one of the ovaries. Occasionally, more than one egg is released, usually within 24 hours of the first egg.
At the same time, the lining of the womb begins to thicken and the mucus in the cervix becomes thinner, so that sperm can swim through it more easily.
The egg begins to travel slowly down the fallopian tube. The egg may be fertilised here if there is sperm in the fallopian tube. The lining of the womb is now thick enough for the egg to be implanted in it after it has been fertilised.
If the egg is not fertilised, it passes out of the body during the woman's monthly period, along with the lining of the womb. The egg is so small that it cannot be seen.
Pregnancy hormones
Hormones are chemicals that circulate in the blood of both men and women. They carry messages to different parts of the body, regulating certain activities and causing certain changes to take place.
The female hormones, which include oestrogen and progesterone, control many of the events of a woman's monthly cycle, such as the release of the egg from the ovary and the thickening of the womb lining.
During pregnancy, your hormone levels change. As soon as you have conceived, the amount of oestrogen and progesterone in your blood increases. This causes the womb lining to build up, the blood supply to your womb and breasts to increase, and the muscles of your womb to relax to make room for the growing baby.
The increased hormone levels can affect how you feel. You may have mood swings, feel tearful or be easily irritated. For a while, you may feel that you can't control your emotions, but these symptoms should ease after the first 3 months of your pregnancy.
Read more about what happens in pregnancy week by week.
Will it be a boy or a girl?
Both the man's sperm and the woman's egg play a part in determining the gender of a baby. Every normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), except for the male sperm and female eggs. They contain 23 chromosomes each.
When a sperm fertilises an egg, the 23 chromosomes from the father join with the 23 from the mother, making 46 in total.
X and Y chromosomes
Chromosomes are tiny threadlike structures that each carry about 2,000 genes. Genes determine a baby's inherited characteristics, such as hair and eye colour, blood group, height and build.
A fertilised egg contains 1 sex chromosome from its mother and 1 from its father. The sex chromosome from the mother's egg is always the same and is known as the X chromosome, but the sex chromosome from the father's sperm may be an X or a Y chromosome.
If the egg is fertilised by a sperm containing an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl (XX). If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy (XY).
Find out about early signs of pregnancy, and where to get help if you're having problems getting pregnant.
If you've decided to have a baby, you and your partner should make sure you're both as healthy as possible. This includes:
- eating a healthy balanced diet
- not smoking
- for the woman, taking a folic acid supplement
You should also know about the risks of alcohol in pregnancy.
You can find pregnancy and baby apps and tools in the NHS apps library.

Charlie Puth Debuts New "The Way I Am" Music Video
The first song off Puth's 'Voicenotes' album now has some visuals
July 10, 2018
Charlie Puth tweeted the release of his video for the first song off of his Voicenotes album, "The Way I Am," to his 2.5 million followers:
been in rehearsal all day...just getting to my phone. creeping on u in the comments section currently -- https://t.co/XfZPTeBPPA— Charlie Puth (@charlieputh) July 10, 2018
The new video accompanying the Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal"-esque track, "The Way I Am," opens up with a very 90's vibe and even includes a crying scene with Puth himself. It's currently the No. 5 trending video on YouTube, and rightfully so. Charlie Puth is somewhat known for his new-age walking bass sound. The "disco" era is something Puth says he's "somewhat obsessed" with.

RSL MATCH PREVIEW & NOTES: REAL SALT LAKE v. FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, MAY 26
RSL Hosts Western Rival FC Dallas with a 7:00 p.m. MT Kickoff
SANDY, Utah (Thursday, May 24, 2012) – Real Salt Lake (8-3-2, 26 pts.; #2 in West) resumes MLS action on Saturday, May 26 with their first "repeat performance" of the season, as they once again face Western rival FC Dallas (3-7-4, 13 pts.; #7 in West) at Rio Tinto Stadium, presented by Budweiser. FCD enters the match with an eight-game winless streak, after a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Fire Wednesday cost them the Brimstone Cup. On the other hand, RSL is hoping to maintain a five-game unbeaten streak Saturday, with a 7:00 p.m. MT kickoff. Fans can enjoy pre-game activities in Sandy at the Carnival Real Festival at 5:00 p.m. on the stadium's East Lawn.
The 1-1 draw at Dallas back on April 25 saw first-year RSL FW Emiliano Bonfigli come off the bench and shoot an equalizer in the 71' to erase a Brek Shea penalty kick from first-half added time. While that match saw the absences of DF Jamison Olave and FW Fabian Espindola due to suspensions, this contest will be lacking the enforcements of MF Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando who are currently at a US Men's National Team camp. This will result to Yordany Alvarez in the midfield, and Kyle Reynish in net, who remains unbeaten in league play after a 0-0 draw when starting at Chicago.
Tickets remain available for Saturday's match versus FC Dallas, and can be purchased online via the Zions Bank Ticket Outlet on RealSaltLake.com, over the phone by calling 801-727-2700, or in person at the Rio Tinto Stadium Box Office beginning at 10:00 on game day.

RSL History v. FCD
RSL last defeated long-time nemesis FC Dallas on July 9, 2011 at Rio Tinto Stadium, winning 2-0 on goals by Andy Williams & Fabian Espindola. However, three days later, Dallas returned the favor with a 2-0 U.S. Open Cup win at the Quarterfinal stage. Earlier last season, RSL drew 0-0 at what was then known as Pizza Hut Park, the first time in RSL history to have earned a point in North Texas. The feat was repeated on April 25 of this year in a 1-1 draw between the sides, when rookie FW Emiliano Bonfigli's 2nd-half goal allowed RSL to overcome a bizarre 1st-half PK award.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy using ECG-gated \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET (2018)
In diabetic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of cardiac involvement prior to the definitive development of heart failure (HF). We aimed to explore the LV diastolic function using electrocardiography (ECG)-gated \(^{18}\)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (\(^{18}\)F-FDG PET) imaging beyond the assessment of cardiac glucose utilization in a diabetic rat model. ECG-gated \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET imaging was performed in a rat model of type 2 diabetes (ZDF fa/fa) and ZL control rats at age of 13 weeks (n=6, respectively). Under hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to enhance cardiac activity, \(^{18}\)F-FDG was administered and subsequently, list-mode imaging using a dedicated small animal PET system with ECG signal recording was performed. List-mode data were sorted and reconstructed into tomographic images of 16 frames per cardiac cycle. Left ventricular functional parameters (systolic: LV ejection fraction (EF), heart rate (HR) vs. diastolic: peak filling rate (PFR)) were obtained using an automatic ventricular edge detection software. No significant difference in systolic function could be obtained (ZL controls vs. ZDF rats: LVEF, 62.5±4.2 vs. 59.4±4.5%; HR: 331±35 vs. 309±24 bpm; n.s., respectively). On the contrary, ECG-gated PET imaging showed a mild but significant decrease of PFR in the diabetic rats (ZL controls vs. ZDF rats: 12.1±0.8 vs. 10.2±1 Enddiastolic Volume/sec, P<0.01). Investigating a diabetic rat model, ECG-gated \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET imaging detected LV diastolic dysfunction while systolic function was still preserved. This might open avenues for an early detection of HF onset in high-risk type 2 diabetes before cardiac symptoms become apparent.
