The museum seeks to build its endowment funding to ensure the agility to secure strategic purchases at key mar...
I started last week with three sweaters on the needles that were fairly close to finishing.
I started last week with three sweaters on the needles that were fairly close to finishing. I've already written about the Deborah Newton yoke sweater for which I ran out of aqua yarn. Then there was the Kiama sweater that I started last summer and have been working on again for at least a month, and there is Mom's Nor...
lunch. So that sweater should be finished very soon.
However, being selfish and wanting another warm-weather sweater, I finished my Kiama sweater last week. One reason I kept working on it was that it was a fairly mindless project and I needed that sort of project to work on. The sleeves on it are a little tight, but I'm hoping it will stretch out a bit over time, as mos...
My intention was to work on Mom's sweater during the royal wedding on Saturday, but it would have taken too much thought. So as I sat there watching and doing nothing, I kept wondering what I could knit that wouldn't require too much attention. I finally realized I could make another sun hat with some cotton boucle yar...
Yesterday, I started a Waves of Hope chemo cap, again with the cotton boucle yarn. This hat is almost finished -- I have started the decreases on the crown. So I expect to finish that in a day or two (I have a church meeting tonight). I'd like to get over to Memorial Sloan Kettering to deliver hats this week, but not s...
The overall rainfall in Punjab so far this year has been double the normal received at this time of the year. While rain in some areas of eastern Punjab was as high as three times the normal, a few south-western areas continue to be deficient.
The rainfall recorded in Punjab from January 1 to February 10 was 64.2 mm compared to the normal of 31.7 mm, according to data compiled by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This is a departure of 102 per cent from the long period average.
The departure from normal is the highest in Punjab among other states in the region. While the surplus was 99 per cent in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh were surplus by 68 per cent and 36 per cent. Haryana hovered near the long period average, with the surplus being just 3 per cent.
The region had experienced widespread rain, and at places hail, in the last week of January as well as the first week of February. Though it augured well for the ground water levels and kept temperatures low, it damaged crops in some parts. The water storage in major dams in the region also remains well above normal.
The state’s eastern belt adjoining HP was the wettest, with Hoshiarpur district being surplus by 294 per cent, followed by Kapurthala with 244 per cent. Rainfall in Gurdaspur and Rupnagar districts, which also share a part of their border with HP, was excess by 195 and 158 per cent.
In central Punjab, Ludhiana and Jalandhar were districts that were wetter than others, with the surplus being 172 and 136 per cent.
WASHINGTON - The average medical claim from a motorcycle crash rose by more than one-fifth last year in Michigan after the state stopped requiring all riders to wear helmets, according to an insurance industry study. Across the nation, motorcyclists opposed to mandatory helmet use have been chipping away at state helme...
For more than 40 years, Michigan required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. State legislators changed the law last year so that only riders younger than 21 must wear helmets. The average insurance payment on a motorcycle injury claim was $5,410 in the two years before the law was changed, and $7,257 after it was c...
After adjusting for the age and type of motorcycle, rider age, gender, marital status, weather and other factors, the actual increase was about 22 percent relative to a group of four comparative states, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, the study found.
"The cost per injury claim is significantly higher after the law changed than before, which is consistent with other research that shows riding without a helmet leads to more head injuries," David Zuby, chief research officer for the data institute and an affiliated organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Saf...
While other studies have shown an increase motorcycle deaths after states eliminate or weaken mandatory helmet requirements, the industry study is the first to look specifically at the effect of repealing helmet requirements on the severity of injuries as measured by medical insurance claims, Zuby said.
Some states have sought to mitigate the repeal or loosening of mandatory helmet laws by setting minimum medical insurance requirements.
But "that doesn't even come close to covering the lifelong care of somebody who is severely brain-injured and who cannot work and who is going to be on Medicaid and a ward of the state," Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, which backs mandatory helmet requirements for all riders, said.
Jeff Hennie, vice president of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, dismissed the study, saying the insurance industry views helmets as "the silver bullet that's going to change the landscape of motorcycle safety." He said insurers are upset because "life has gotten more expensive for them and they have to pay out more."
"The fact is our highways are bloody," Hennie said. "This (the Michigan helmet law change) doesn't make helmets illegal. ... No one is forcing anyone to ride without a helmet."
Vince Consiglio, president of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education of Michigan, blamed the increase in the severity of injuries on bikers who don't take safety courses required to obtain a special motorcycle license. He said bikers without motorcycle licenses have made up an increasingly larger share of fatalities an...
But Gillan said the study "clearly shows there is no such thing as a free ride, and the public is paying the cost for this."
There's no way to know how many of the Michigan claims involved motorcyclists not wearing helmets, the study said. But another recent study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute found a significant increase in motorcyclists involved in crashes who weren't wearing helmets after the law change...
Nationally, motorcycle deaths have risen in 14 of the past 15 years, with more than 5,000 deaths last year, according to an analysis by the Governors Highway Safety Association of preliminary 2012 data. That's the highest proportion motorcycles have ever represented of overall traffic deaths, more than 14 percent, the ...
Currently, 19 states and the District of Columbia require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet, 28 states require only some motorcyclists - usually younger or novice riders - to wear a helmet, and three states have no helmet use law. States have been gradually repealing or weakening mandatory helmet laws for nearly two d...
In 1967, to increase motorcycle helmet use, the federal government required that states enact helmet laws in order to qualify for certain federal safety programs and highway construction aid. The federal incentive worked. By the early 1970s, almost all states had motorcycle helmet laws that covered all riders. In 1976,...
In 1991, Congress created new incentives for states to enact helmet and seat belt laws, but reversed itself four years later.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which sent observers to states last year to count how many motorcyclists wore helmets, found that 97 percent of motorcyclists in states with universal helmet laws were wearing helmets compared with 58 percent of motorcyclists in states without such coverage.
In July 1962 – in what could be seen, with hindsight, as a pre-emptive up-yours to the entire career of David Blaine – a French explorer named Michel Siffre buried himself under a glacier for two months. More than 100m below ground, several degrees below freezing and confined to a tent in a cave, the 23-year-old's sens...
You couldn't ask for a more vivid reminder of how badly we need "temporal landmarks" to give life structure, and keep us sane. And those landmarks exert subtle influences on us. One new study, in the Journal of Consumer Research, found that people were more likely to meet a six-month deadline if given it in June, with ...
Which method works for you may depend on whether you find big challenges energising or paralysing. But in any case, both findings point to a more general truth: temporal landmarks really matter. Build more of them into your life – or pay more attention to existing ones – and you'll experience time differently than if y...
All of which is an excellent argument for making sure you celebrate birthdays; for holding a proper leaving do next time you leave a job or a city, instead of slinking off; for celebrating Christmas even if you're an atheist; maybe even for grand weddings over modest ones. Sadly, you needn't bury yourself beneath a gla...
In a replay of the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction charade, neoconservative supporters of George W. Bush are pushing the U.S. intelligence community to take a more alarmist view about Iran’s nuclear program – only this time, the nation’s top spy John Negroponte is resisting the pressure unlike former CIA chief George...
Tenet joined in Bush’s hyping of the WMD evidence about Iraq – famously telling the President that the case was a “slam dunk.” But Negroponte is defying hardliners who want a worst-case scenario on Iran’s capabilities. Instead, he is citing Iran’s limited progress in refining uranium and their use of a cascade of only ...
“According to the experts that I consult, achieving — getting 164 centrifuges to work is still a long way from having the capacity to manufacture sufficient fissile material for a nuclear weapon,” Negroponte said in an interview with NBC News on April 20.
“Our assessment is that the prospects of an Iranian weapon are still a number of years off, and probably into the next decade,” said Negroponte, who was appointed last year as the Director of National Intelligence, a new post that supplanted the traditional primacy of the CIA director as the head of the U.S. intelligen...
In effect, the Director of National Intelligence was splashing cold water on the fevered assessment of Iran’s nuclear progress favored by the neoconservatives. Some Bush supporters are now complaining that Negroponte has shown disloyalty to the President by siding with intelligence analysts who reject the direst predic...
Frank J. Gaffney Jr. an original signer of the neoconservative Project for the New American Century, even called for Negroponte’s firing because of the Iran assessment and his “abysmal personnel decisions” in hiring senior intelligence analysts who were skeptics about Bush’s Iraqi WMD claims, too.
In an article for Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times, Gaffney attacked Negroponte for giving top analytical jobs to Thomas Fingar, who had served as assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research, and Kenneth Brill, who was U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which debunked some o...
The State Department’s Office of Intelligence and Research led the dissent against the Iraq WMD case, especially over what turned out to be false claims that Iraq was developing a nuclear bomb. Gaffney specifically faulted Fingar for his testimony against neoconservative favorite John Bolton to become U.S. ambassador t...
“Given this background, is it any wonder that Messrs. Negroponte, Fingar and Brill … gave us the spectacle of absurdly declaring the Iranian regime to be years away from having nuclear weapons?” wrote Gaffney, who was a senior Pentagon official during the Reagan administration.
When Negroponte was appointed last year, the former ambassador to Honduras and Iraq was expected to be more of a team player. Known as an old Cold Warrior, Negroponte had overseen the U.S. Embassy in Honduras in the early 1980s when the CIA was organizing the contra paramilitary force to attack Nicaragua.
Negroponte also was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations when the Bush administration made the false case that Iraq was concealing large WMD stockpiles. Negroponte – along with CIA Director Tenet – sat behind Secretary of State Colin Powell when he made his infamous speech to the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5, 2003.
While some observers expected Negroponte to stay a yes-man for Bush as Director of National Intelligence, others who knew Negroponte suspected that he was too smart and too proud to follow the path of Tenet, who is widely disdained inside the intelligence community for letting the analytic product be thoroughly politic...
Having demonstrated a measure of independence on Iran, Negroponte also is under attack for allegedly creating a bloated bureaucracy around his new office, which was established to address shortcomings exposed by the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks as well as the Iraq WMD intelligence failures.
While some of that criticism may be valid, it’s typical of Washington’s infighting to see politicians pursuing one line of attack when they’re really upset about something else.
The mounting criticism of Negroponte comes as the Bush administration seeks to make the most of a mixed report by the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency, which stated on April 28 that the lack of clarity around Iran’s nuclear program remains “a matter of concern” as do Iran’s intentions.
While Bush cited the critical aspects of the IAEA report as evidence that a tougher line must be taken against Iran, the report also bolsters Negroponte’s assessment that the Iranians are still far away from having the capacity to build a nuclear bomb.
The IAEA said it took samples of Iran’s enriched uranium and confirmed that it was processed only to an enrichment level of about 3.6 percent, when a level of at least 90 percent is needed to make a nuclear bomb. The low level of enrichment would fit better for production of nuclear energy, which is all the Iranians sa...
But Bush and his neoconservative advisers may believe that their window for forcing regime change in Iran is closing. The November 2006 elections could bring Republican reversals and leave Bush with less flexibility for launching bombing raids against Iran should he opt for a military attack as many experts believe he ...
So, to make the case with the American people, the neoconservatives first need to secure a more frightening assessment of Iran’s nuclear weapons potential from Negroponte and the U.S. intelligence community.
As long as the intelligence analysts judge that Iran is years away from even the possibility of nuclear weapons, the argument for another “preemptive” war against a Muslim nation would be a hard sell.
The Bush administration is still reeling from disclosures that it fixed the WMD intelligence to justify the Iraq War, which so far has claimed the lives of about 2,400 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis.
The latest former CIA officer to speak out against the bogus intelligence was Tyler Drumheller, the chief of CIA covert operations in Europe.
Drumheller said the White House even ignored intelligence that the CIA got from Saddam Hussein’s foreign minister, Naji Sabri. The information was rebuffed because Sabri said Iraq didn’t have WMD.
Now, the first battle in a prospective “preemptive” war with Iran may be fought over ousting or intimidating Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte – which would then be followed by a whole new round of making the intelligence fit the policy.
Top-seed Ellkay completed their undefeated dream season with a resounding 67-54 victory over Old Spice.
In the Championship game of the Red & Doctor Murray’s Israel Basketball League, top-seed Ellkay completed their undefeated dream season with a resounding 67-54 victory over Old Spice, to take home the Red Auerbach Championship Trophy. Ellkay’s statement win came after a closely contested Final Four weekend, with buzzer...
Ellkay’s Simcha Halpert and Daniel Tzion led the scoring. Halpert’s long-range sharp-shooting made him nearly automatic, while Tzion’s height, wingspan, and dribbling skills made him virtually unstoppable, as he shot over and around the swarming Old Spice defenders. Indeed, Tzion had made the last-second game-winning f...
Ellkay’s attack was complemented by their own version of the “twin towers.” While Adam Liberman filled the role of monster rebounder and post-up shooter, co-captain Dani Katz was the inside-out threat, punishing teams down low, then popping out for backbreaking threes. Such was the case in the semis, when Katz saved El...
Tyler Hod, the other co-captain, used speed and smarts at the point guard position, leading Ellkay out to a big lead, and pushing the pace to never let up.
For Old Spice, Jason Allen played big, finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Guy Ben-Hanan added 12 points. Old Spice adjusted well after Ellkay’s 7-0 opening run, with Sander Eizen and Sam Kalnitz forcing difficult shots for even Ellkay’s best offensive threats.
But Benni Tuchman, Moshe Cohen, Jon Greenberg provided all the backup needed for Ellkay. Tuchman drove the lane for points and big boards, Greenberg used athleticism and a big first step to repeatedly get to the rim, and Cohen’s lock-down defense and timely treys kept the game well in hand.
Trailing by 12 at half, Old Spice made a push after the intermission, getting as close as a half-dozen, but could never complete the come-back, as Ellkay’s tremendously skilled players kept Old Spice at bay. With a few seconds still remaining, the Old Spice players congratulated the new champs, and fans rushed the cour...

A first-grader brought a gun to Mitchell Road Elementary in Greenville on Tuesday.
A student at Mitchell Road Elementary in Greenville County brought a gun to the school Tuesday.
The first-grade student brought the weapon to campus in his backpack, according to Greenville County Schools spokeswoman Beth Brotherton.
"After being alerted by another student, the teacher immediately took possession of the book bag and notified the administration," Brotherton said in a release.
Law enforcement arrived at the school and retrieved the bag where the unloaded gun was found, a release said. An investigation is underway.
Brotherton said the the student who brought the gun will be suspended and recommended for expulsion, in keeping with federal law and board policy.
"We are extremely grateful to the student who reported this weapon. We urge parents to have a conversation with their children to tell them that weapons are never allowed in school and the consequences for bringing them are great," Brotherton added.
This is third instance of a Greenville County student bringing a gun to school this month.
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), Apr 09 (ANI): Under the banner of 'Students-Parent Forum' several parents protested outside the office of the state education department in Himachal Pradesh's Shimla on Monday. They demanded constitution of a regulatory commission for educational institutes, among other demands.
They complained against fee hike and other issues related to private schools in Shimla. The protest began from March 10 and will continue further if demands of parents will not be met.
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
