Belmont (SID): Defense Carries Men's Basketball Past Boston University

December 28, 2012

ORLANDO, Fla. - - Behind strong team defense and balanced scoring, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Boston University, 64-48, Friday night in the first round of the UCF Holiday Tournament.

The Bruins, looking to build off of impressive home victories over Middle Tennessee and South Dakota State leading into the Christmas holiday, faced yet another confident and defensive-minded mid-major stalwart in the Terriers.

Five early points from senior Ian Clark (Memphis, Tenn.) gave the Bruins a 8-5 lead five minutes in. With passes and shots contested at every turn, consecutive three-pointers from senior Trevor Noack (Keller, Texas) pushed Belmont to an 18-15 edge midway through the first half.

After Nathan Dieudonne trimmed the margin to 22-20, Belmont intensified its defensive pressure and sharpened its offensive execution to close the half on an 18-4 run.

Junior J.J. Mann (Smyrna. Ga.) supplied two three-pointers and Clark produced two jaw-dropping drives during the run as Belmont took a 40-24 lead at halftime.

Belmont shot 46 percent (15-for-33) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 6-for-16 from three-point distance. The Bruins limited the Terriers to 38 percent shooting while forcing 11 turnovers.

But just as the Bruins appeared poised to seize control, Boston University offered a stern reply and fought back into the game.

A deep three-pointer for Dom Morris capped a 7-0 Terrier run in the first 1:51 of the second half to close the margin to 40-31.

Three free throws and a basket from junior Blake Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) increased the Bruin lead to 47-34 with 13:29 left, but Boston U. pushed onward.

With Belmont?missed opportunities?mounting, back-to-back baskets from Malik Thomas got the Terriers within 53-48 with 6:49 remaining.

But the experienced Bruins held Boston U. without a made field goal thereafter, closing in impressive fashion in all facets. A gorgeous baseline feed from senior Kerron Johnson (Huntsville, Ala.) set up Jenkins for a dramatic slam dunk to push the advantage back to seven.

Jenkins then added a conventional three-point play moments later to give the Bruins a 58-48 lead with 5:31 to go.

A string of defensive stops and two determined driving layins from Johnson enabled Belmont to secure the victory.

All told, Belmont shot 42 percent (25-for-59) from the field, outrebounding Boston U., 40-30. The Bruins limited the Terriers to 34 percent shooting, and 4-for-20 from behind the arc.

Clark and Jenkins paced four Bruins in double figures with 15 points each. Johnson had 12 points and six assists, while Noack recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Maurice Watson led Boston University (5-7) with 11 points.

Belmont (9-3) returns to action Saturday against host UCF in the championship game of the UCF Holiday Tournament. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

The live play-by-play of Voice of the Bruins Kevin Ingram can be heard on the Bruin Sports Network. Live video streaming will be available via UCF All-Access (subscription rates may apply). Live updates will be available on Twitter @BelmontMBB.

NOTES: Belmont records its fifth victory away from home this season ... The Bruins got timely bench contributions from Chad Lang, Reece Chamberlain, and Craig Bradshaw.

Horse Coaching Requires Persistent Patience ? Sports and ...

If you?ve been riding horses for a while, you?ll probably have experienced the actual joy of riding a horse that?s remarkably highly trained. But did you ever give thought to the amounts of time and energy, and probably money, spent on making that pony that way?

You can?t train a horse in a day, a week or a month, I?d go so far as to say a year, because so far as I am concerned , coaching is an everlasting process. It takes amazing patience and persistence.

When coaching a horse, it is essentially a battle between your patience and the horse?s resistance. If you show implacable patience, you?ll come out the winner. If you lose patience and snap on any particular day, you lost that day?s battle. Lose too many battles and you?ll land up losing the war. Handling horses is like handling youngsters. Anger and disappointment only inflame bad circumstances. Annoyance has no role to play in training or handling a horse, and demonstration of annoyance is a conclusive no-no. Loud remonstrations, cursing and physical action are among the seven deadly sins.

If you cannot accept the unshakable fact that there is no alternative choice to patience, you?ve no business coaching horses. My apologies, but that?s the blunt truth. Each shortcut you take today is a failure waiting to happen along the way some other day. Like most kids, horses learn only through continual repetition. And like with kids, some horses need a load more repetition than other horses.

If you come across any books or videos or audios that guarantee to show you exactly how to teach your pony everything it needs to be taught in one hour, a day or a month, you want to burn that baloney. The single thing you achieve with super fast teaching techniques is disaster. Your pony isn?t designed by nature to be a genius, so don?t try and make him one. When he learns at his very own pace, he learns for life. When he learns at a turbocharged pace, he learns for an hour, or perhaps a day. It is irrelevant that you take days to show him something that to you seems to be the easiest thing in the world to learn. You are not a horse, and your horse is not you. Start every day with your horse brightly, and make sure it ends brightly. If you happen to feel anger building up over something, take the day off and do something, anything that has nothing to do with horses. Tomorrow will always dawn fresh.

As vital as patience is persistence is. Your horse is not going to learn consistently if you?re not teaching him consistently.

For all the undeniable fact that it could take a lot of time, horse training is not a difficult task. The most important challenge is finding the patience needed. Any person who tells you that horse coaching is a difficult task is either too lazy to try it himself, or has screwed up by using shortcuts. Malicious manipulation of whips, bits and spurs will only bring about a rebellious horse, and the more the punishment, the more the defiance.

Venezuela: South America's most dangerous country

According to calculations made by a respected NGO, Venezuela is now far and away the most dangerous country in South America, with Caracas one of the most dangerous capitals in the world.

By Jeremy McDermott,?Guest Blogger / December 28, 2012

A vendor wearing a T-shirt with an image of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez sells vegetable at a state-run market in Caracas, Venezuela, Friday.

Fernando Llano/AP/

Enlarge

The Venezuelan Observatory Of Violence (Observatorio Venezolano de la Violencia) has released a study on homicides during 2012?putting the national homicide rate at 73 per 100,000 of the population, with Caracas registering 122 per 100,000. As a point of comparison, neighboring Colombia, still in the midst of the civil conflict, last year registered just over 31 homicides per 100,000.

The study was conducted by the NGO working with six national universities. It put the number of homicides during the year at 21,692, a significant increase on 2011 (19,336), which?had gone?down as the most violent year on record in Venezuelan history.

According to the government, the homicide rate for 2011 was just over 48 per 100,000 of the population. Even at this level Venezuela was one of the most dangerous nations in South America.

InSight Crime Analysis

While the statistics can be challenged, the upward trend in homicides cannot.

These figures are just part of a wider pattern that began with the election of Hugo Ch?vez to the presidency in 1999. The blame for this lies on both internal and external factors.

The internal factors include rampant corruption in almost all branches of the security forces, a lack of investment in the police force, weak gun control?that has led to a proliferation of arms, and a lack of coherent security policy on the part of the Ch?vez regime.

On the external side, there is the fact that Venezuela has become a principal transit nation for Colombian cocaine. This has led not only to the presence of Colombian criminal networks in Venezuela, along with Colombian Marxist rebel groups, but the development of Venezuelan organized crime. Principal among this homegrown organized crime is the "Cartel of the Suns," a powerful drug trafficking network allegedly led by senior members of the military.

EDUC 807 ? Blog Archive ? Strong Arts. Strong Schools ...

?Encounters with the arts enable us to unlock some of the great stored wisdom of the ages. In other words, the arts are part of what make people well educated. Take them away, and people will be less well educated. There is no replacement.? page 42

?The Necessity for the Arts

The arts are necessary in our lives and in our schools because they? :: Teach us divergent, rather than convergent, thinking :: Develop craftsmanship, the ability to apply aesthetics :: Introduce us to perceptions and understandings we could not acquire in any other way :: Enlighten our understanding, making it deeper and more comprehensive

  • Facilitate human communication within and across cultures
  • Help us define who we are and articulate our own very special sense of being
  • Characterize their age, distinguishing our relationship to time by showing us as we were yesterday and as we are today
  • Replenish our spirit and, by nurturing it, consoling it, and inspiring it, affirm our humanity.

Page 55

Book or Article Title: Strong Arts. Strong Schools: The Potential and Shortsighted Disregard of the Arts in American Schooling

Author: Charles Fowler

Date Published: 1996

Brief Summary of Article:

Part Two (Justification, p. 35-74) discusses the importance of artistic intelligence with respect to Howard Gardner?s Theory of Multiple Intelligences underlining the challenge of overcoming the social perception of intelligence as being linked to verbal and mathematical skills which is perpetuated by standardized testing (SAT). With reference to Maxine Greene, Fowler explains that art education ?crystallize[s] experiences? (Fowler, 40) and provides individualized learning. Further, Fowler validates the importance of arts integration into the curriculum as a vehicle for encouraging empathy and ?improving the way people think? (Fowler, 41). The second chapter (Strong Arts, Strong Schools) of Part Two culminates with a comprehensive list which concisely summarizes the necessity for the arts. Fowler concludes this part of his book with a call to action in order to promote a vital change in social perception in hopes to foster the infinite potential of the arts in education.

How is this article relevant to your work and your colleagues:

I am currently researching the implications of arts integration in the social studies curriculum and am looking for research to advocate for the importance and implications of art in schools. Although this research is founded primarily in American school systems, and that it is dated (published in 1996), there are pertinent arguments/ scientific findings in defense of arts education as well as suggested ideas as to why the arts have been systematically dismissed as nonacademic. Charles Fowler explains the historical context of the removal of arts education and funding from curricula across American schools and provides statistical research as to its implications on students (including students with special needs and juvenile delinquents). These articles are accessible, researched and provide clear summaries and possible solutions to the challenges we face as educators.

Where can this book be found? (ISBN ? optional)

Do You Need A Link Popularity Tool | Lady

discussingprobablyanalyzeinterest,

Do You Need A Link Popularity Tool

Before discussing the link popularity tool, let?s discuss link popularity itself. What is it? Link popularity basically refers to the total number of web pages which link to your web site or any of its individual pages. The reason it is so important is because this is one of the main factors that search engines use to evaluate your website and where it will be ranked. If your website is ranked high with the search engines, you will come up in the first results when a potential customer goes online and searches for what your business offers. That?s why webmasters are concerned with their link popularity.

So what is a link popularity tool? It depends on the tool. There are many facets to link popularity and link building so there are tools that correspond to those aspects. Some tools will perform an analysis on the various search engines to show you how many pages are linking to your site. They can also tell you which pages are linking. Some will actually give you a score so you can judge how well you are doing. Some will give you the opportunity to compare your site to others. Most free tools will only give you the results from the biggest search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

You?ll probably notice that the amount of links varies significantly from search engine to search engine because the figures displayed represent the number of inbound-links that are known to each search engine in particular and will vary based on the size of its database. Search engines also figure out certain inbound-links (again, this varies according to the search engine) so certain backlinks may not figure into the total.

While you don?t want to become obsessed with using this tool or checking the data all the time, it is important to keep tabs on your links. You want to keep your links as high-quality and relevant as possible and knowing where they are coming from can help you manage that information.

After you analyze the information that you get from your tool, you can then continue on with your link building strategy. Many tools are also connected or related to other services that can help you with this realm of link-building as well. Just remember that the same rules apply if you should decide to go with a link building service to take care of that aspect of your business. You want to get a quality service so make sure you do your research in order to get the most bang for your buck. While many link-building tools are free, link building services are definitely not. However, what they save you in time and effort could very much be worth it in terms of cash.

By all means, take advantage of a link popularity tool and then decide if you plan to go as far as to hire someone else to handle your backlink strategy.

Thanks for your kind interest, and We wish you the best in business and life,

    'One for the record books': Sandy leaves death and destruction in wake

    NEW YORK (AP) ? Millions of people from Maine to the Carolinas awoke Tuesday without power, and an eerily quiet New York City was all but closed off by car, train and air as superstorm Sandy steamed inland, still delivering punishing wind and rain.

    The full extent of the damage in New Jersey, where the storm roared ashore Monday night with hurricane force, was unclear. Police and fire officials, some with their own departments flooded, fanned out to rescue hundreds.

    "We are in the midst of urban search and rescue. Our teams are moving as fast as they can," Gov. Chris Christie said. "The devastation on the Jersey Shore is some of the worst we've ever seen. The cost of the storm is incalculable at this point."

    The death toll from Sandy in the U.S. climbed to 20, including seven in New York, four in Pennsylvania and three in New Jersey, with many of the victims killed by falling trees. Sandy also killed 69 people in the Caribbean before making its way up the Eastern Seaboard.

    At least 7.4 million people across the East were without electricity. Airlines canceled more than 12,000 flights.

    Lower Manhattan, which includes Wall Street, was among the hardest-hit areas after the storm sent a nearly 14-foot surge of seawater, a record, coursing over its seawalls and highways and into low-lying streets.

    Water cascaded into the gaping, unfinished construction pit at the World Trade Center, and the New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day, the first time that has happened because of weather in more than a century.

    A huge fire destroyed as many as 100 houses in a flooded beachfront neighborhood in Queens on Tuesday, forcing firefighters to undertake daring rescues. Three people were injured.

    A downtown hospital, New York University's Tisch, evacuated 200 patients after its backup generator failed. About 20 babies from the neonatal intensive care unit were carried down staircases and on battery-powered respirators.

    And a construction crane that collapsed in the high winds on Monday still dangled precariously 74 floors above the streets of midtown Manhattan. And on Staten Island, a tanker ship wound up beached on the shore.

    With water standing in two major commuter tunnels and seven subway tunnels under the East River, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was unclear when the nation's largest transit system would be rolling again. It shut down Sunday night ahead of the storm.

    Joseph Lhota, chairman of the regional Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the damage was the worst in the 108-year history of the New York subway.

    The saltwater surge inundated subway signals, switches and electrified third rails and covered tracks with sludge. Workers began pumping the water out and will ultimately have to walk all of the hundreds of miles of track to inspect it.

    Millions of more fortunate New Yorkers surveyed damage as dawn broke, their city brought to an extraordinary standstill.

    "Oh, Jesus. Oh, no," Faye Schwartz said she looked over damage in neighborhood in Brooklyn, where cars were scattered like leaves.

    Reggie Thomas, a maintenance supervisor at a prison near the overflowing Hudson River, emerged from an overnight shift there, a toothbrush in his front pocket, to find his Honda with its windows down and a foot of water inside. The windows automatically go down when the car is submerged to free drivers.

    "It's totaled," Thomas said with a shrug. "You would have needed a boat last night."

    Besides the subway and the stock exchange, most major tunnels and bridges in New York were closed, as were schools, Broadway theaters and the metropolitan area's three main airports, LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark.

    "This will be one for the record books," said John Miksad, senior vice president for electric operations at Consolidated Edison, which had more than 670,000 customers without power in and around New York City.

    In New Jersey, a huge swell of water swept over the small town of Moonachie, near the Hackensack River, and authorities struggled to rescue about 800 people, some of them living in a trailer park.

    And in neighboring Little Ferry, water suddenly started gushing out of storm drains overnight, submerging a road under 4 feet of water and swamping houses.

    Police and fire officials used boats and trucks to reach the stranded.

    "I looked out and the next thing you know, the water just came up through the grates. It came up so quickly you couldn't do anything about it. If you wanted to move your car to higher ground you didn't have enough time," said Little Ferry resident Leo Quigley, who with his wife was taken to higher ground by boat.

    Jersey City was closed to cars because traffic lights were out, and Hoboken, just over the Hudson River from Manhattan, dealt with major flooding. In Atlantic City, most of the world-famous boardwalk was intact, but pieces washed away Monday night.

    Remnants of the hurricane were forecast to head across Pennsylvania before taking another sharp turn into western New York by Wednesday morning. Although weakening as it goes, the storm will continue to bring heavy rain and flooding, said Daniel Brown of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

    As Hurricane Sandy closed in on the Northeast, it converged with a cold-weather system that turned it into a monstrous hybrid of rain, high wind ? and even snow in West Virginia and other mountainous areas inland.

    In a measure of how big the storm was, high winds spinning off the edge of Sandy clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, cutting power to hundreds of thousands, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.

    Hundreds of miles from the storm's center, gusts topping 60 mph prompted officials to close the port of Portland, Maine, and scared away several cruise ships.

    Just before it made landfall at 8 p.m. near Atlantic City, N.J., forecasters stripped Sandy of hurricane status, but the distinction was purely technical, based on its shape and internal temperature.

    While the hurricane's 80 mph winds registered as only a Category 1 on a scale of five, it packed the lowest barometric pressure on record in the Northeast, giving it terrific energy to push water inland.

    President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in the city and Long Island. The storm brought the presidential campaign to a halt with a week to go before Election Day.

    In New York, the construction crane atop a 1,000-foot, $1.5 billion luxury high-rise in midtown Manhattan dangled for a second day while authorities tried to figure out how to secure it. Thousands were ordered to leave nearby buildings as a precaution, including 900 guests at the ultramodern Le Parker Meridien hotel.

    Alice Goldberg, 15, a tourist from Paris, was watching television in the hotel ? whose slogan is "Uptown, Not Uptight" ? when a voice came over the loudspeaker and told everyone to leave.

    "They said to take only what we needed, and leave the rest, because we'll come back in two or three days," she said as she and hundreds of others gathered in the luggage-strewn marble lobby. "I hope so."

    An explosion Monday night at a substation for Consolidated Edison, the main utility service New York City, knocked out power to about 310,000 customers in Manhattan.

    "It sounded like the Fourth of July," Stephen Weisbrot said from his 10th-floor apartment.

    In Baltimore, fire officials said four unoccupied rowhouses collapsed in the storm, sending debris into the street but causing no injuries. A blizzard in western Maryland caused a pileup of tractor-trailers that blocked part of Interstate 68 on slippery Big Savage Mountain.

    "It's like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs up here," said Bill Wiltson, a Maryland State Police dispatcher.

    Ric Orlando, curry salad, and the Beaujolais nouveau | All Over Albany

    ric orlando and salads

    Chef Ric with winter kale salads.

    "I do peasant food," says Ric Orlando, "I'm a blue jeans chef -- that's how I cook."

    The Chopped champ and New World owner is the honorary chair of the AIDS Council's annual event celebrating Beaujolais nouveau -- the young wine made from Gamay grapes -- and it seems like a good fit. Because Beaujolais, Ric says, is a blue jeans kind of wine.

    "Beaujolais, to me, is a great everyday, at the tavern, on the terrace, on the deck, in the bathtub, with breakfast kind of wine," he says.

    The Beaujolais is fermented only a few weeks before its release is celebrated with parties worldwide.

    Orlando says he's a big fan of the wine and he's come up with a few new dishes he'll be pairing it with at the AIDS Council's Beujolais nouveau release party on November 15.

    After the jump, talking with Ric about pairing food and wines, America's slowly changing palate, Italy's gastronomic intelligentsia, cheap wine vs. bad wine, and licking hubcaps.

    What's the big deal about the Beujolais nouveau wine? Why should we care about it?

    We should care about Beaujolais for a couple of reasons. One is that it's been over a 100-year tradition -- or more -- the new crushing of the Beaujolais. This is a wine that people get excited about drinking the minute it's wine. As soon as it's done fermenting, drink it. As opposed to laying it down in the cellars for years and letting all these different flavors develop -- which is a marvelous, fabulous aspect of the wine world, but this is different.

    Vino verde from Portugal is similar. Make it, ferment it, drink it.

    I think a lot of American people misconstrue the drinking of wine with the ceremony of wine. There are certainly plenty of wines that require a ceremonial homage. "I'm opening a beautiful bottle of wine I want to make sure I make exactly the right food, make sure it's exactly the right temperature and have exactly the right glass."

    And then there are wines like Beaujolais, which is an everyday wine which you can drink out of a water glass. You can put it on the rocks, you can add seltzer to it, you can drink it in a wine glass -- it works with a lot of things. It's very food friendly, it's got good acidity, it cleanses your palate. There's no residual sugar, but the Gamay grapes give off a little bit of sweetness, and it's got that little bit of minimally graphite flavor. I think it's a really a fun wine when you're not comparing it to Cakebread cabernet -- it's a whole different experience.

    The more I've traveled in Europe the more I realize most of the wine that's drunk is drunk like Beaujolais not like California Cab. They drink wines like California Cab when they're having a big dinner, but when they drink everyday, they drink cheap wine. When I say cheap wine, I don't mean bad wine -- an inexpensive everyday wine. When we were traveling in Italy we'd bring our bottle to the store and they'd tap out some Primitivo into the bottle -- we actually had like a gasosa , like a 7-Up bottle that we screwed the top back on. I thought OK, we're in Italy? This is what we do here? But that is very common.

    I think the idea of stuffy Europeans in a castle drinking wine -- I mean, that exists -- but most are like me and you and they want to spend 4, 5, 6 euros on a bottle of wine that they can enjoy with anything. And I think Beaujolais really fits in that mold. I've done spritzers with it or variations on the sangria theme. I've put ice cubes in it on a summer day -- bring it to the beach and drink it out of plastic cups. It's casual but very delicious. I like wines like that. I like to drink as much as possible (laughs) and I don't always have time for ceremony.

    So what are you making to pair with the Beaujolais nouveau?

    I've noticed that nobody ever serves salads at these things, so I thought it would be nice to do something green. So I'm doing a winter kale salad.

    Ric Orlando greens.jpg

    It's actually kale and escarole -- my two favorite greens -- both bitter, both really good for you, lots of minerals. And so to make them palatable and delicious we make some local apple chutney -- it's got some turmeric, some fennel, Indian spices, molasses, vinegar. We make our own curry oil, and we make a curry vinaigrette.

    Curry vinaigrette .jpg

    And we make the most delicious curry cashews you've ever had.

    curried cashews.jpg

    You combine the three and get these beautiful, light, kind-of-bright Indian flavors on the bitter greens. You just can't stop eating them, they're really good. And the salad is all those ingredients. And of course the local Coach Farm goat cheese.

    Ric Orlando tossing salad.jpg

    If you took the goat cheese and the chutney alone, that would be delicious. You could eat the curried cashews by themselves, that would be delicious. But this is definitely [a] whole is greater than the sum of its parts because the kale becomes something that you can't stop eating.

    finished salads in kitchen.jpg

    And then I made a couple of what I call the "gastronomic intelligentsia of Italy" bruschetta. This is not your typical bruschetta.

    This is home-made ricotta that I just made with Meadow Brook milk and cream, drizzled with a little balsamic and pumpkin seed oil. The other one, which looks just like the ricotta, is lardo, which is essentially pork fat that you cure with salt and spices.

    Lardo.jpg

    You rub it between your hands and the warmth of your hands begins to kind of melt it down into a softer consistency and then you let it set and you spread it. It's really popular in Tuscany, among the hipsters in Italy. The Batali world is putting lardo in everything. It's basically pork butter spread on toast with a little bit of agave -- and I would like raw honey but I didn't have any, so I used agave which was good but the raw honey is a little more intense -- and a little lemon zest.

    How does that work with the Beaujolais?

    If you drank a big Cab with this salad you would be wasting both dishes. The cab would be washed out by the apple chutney and the minerals of the greens would be too strong. You wouldn't taste the greens and you wouldn't taste the salad. You'd have a clash. Big red wine and sweet salad is like -- bad wine pairing 101. Because you have vinegar and sugar, sweet and sugar -- things that antagonize Cabernet.

    But Beaujolais is the kind of wine that, it's got enough acid, it's got enough fruit, it's got enough tingle -- you can have a salad with it. And there are not many good red wines with salad. Not that people don't do it -- hot red wine with cold salad. Doesn't mean I don't want to clobber them when they do it. They do it all the time, though, hot red wine and cold salad. Mmm... have you licked a hubcap lately? (laughs)

    America is a long way into understanding food and wine pairing. The industry is now more and more into it and the consumer is turning the corner.

    People are getting hipper to it. I'm selling a lot more Riesling here, a lot more lighter reds with food. instead of "give me the biggest red you have and I'm going to have Thai curry scallops with lots of chilies with it."

    If cooks aren't cooking in the classical style -- steak with brown sauce -- then you have to rethink your wine pairing. You don't want to waste your wine. I could drink Gamy five or six days a week with what I eat: Chinese takeout, Indian food, ham and cheese sub.

    Somehow that's not what we pictured you eating -- take out Chinese and ham and cheese subs.

    (laughs) I eat regular food. I just don't eat junk.

    Israel says 79 rockets fired at it from Gaza

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinians fired dozens of rockets into Israel from Gaza on Wednesday and an Israeli air strike killed a militant, a day after the Emir of Qatar made a rare visit to the enclave's Hamas leadership.

    Hamas claimed responsibility for some of the rocket and mortar bomb attacks, prompting some Israelis to wonder whether it had been emboldened by the Qatari visit on Tuesday that broke the Islamist group's diplomatic isolation.

    In recent months, Hamas has largely held its fire when other militant factions have launched cross-border rocket attacks, but the sudden upsurge in violence stoked fears that the hostilities could escalate further.

    Hamas accused Israel of stepping up air strikes in the Gaza Strip, a move it said was meant to convey Israeli anger over Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani's visit, and pledged to "continue to hold a gun ... until Palestine is liberated".

    Israel said it was "astounding" that Qatar, a U.S.-allied Gulf state, would take sides in the Palestinian dispute and endorse Hamas, branded by the West as a terrorist group. Hamas seized the Gaza Strip in 2007 from fighters loyal to the Fatah faction of Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

    Some analysts saw the Qatari ruler's trip, the first by any national leader to Gaza since Hamas took over, as an attempt to build bridges between the group and the West and coax it into the peace camp amid Arab turmoil across the Middle East.

    A Palestinian official said Egypt was trying to mediate a truce.

    "The contacts Cairo made resulted in a verbal promise by Hamas to calm the situation down and Israel said it was monitoring calm on the ground and would refrain from attacks unless it was subject to rocket fire from Gaza," said the official, who is close to the talks.

    Israeli officials had no immediate comment. Previous rounds of cross-border attacks have usually fizzled out in days, with both Israel and Hamas seemingly aware of the risks of ramping up the low-intensity conflict.

    Israel's three-week-long invasion of the Gaza Strip, launched in 2008 with the declared aim of curbing rocket launches, drew international criticism over a heavy Palestinian casualty toll.

    Though hostile to Israel, Hamas has mostly sought to avoid direct clashes as it shores up its rule in the face of more radical challengers and seeks potential allies abroad.

    NETANYAHU VISITS ANTI-MISSILE SITE

    In a second day of violence, a Hamas militant was killed on Wednesday in an air strike, which Israel said was intended to stop rocket launches. On Tuesday, Israel killed three Hamas men, saying they had either launched attacks or were about to do so.

    In southern Israel, three agricultural workers were wounded when a Palestinian rocket exploded near them.

    An Israeli military spokeswoman, said 79 projectiles had been fired at Israel and that the Iron Dome system had intercepted eight of them. She said several homes had been damaged by Palestinian rockets.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is seeking a renewed mandate in Israel's January 22 election, visited an Iron Dome anti-missile battery near the southern city of Ashkelon on Wednesday and threatened stronger Israeli military action in Gaza.

    "We did not choose this escalation, nor did we initiate it, but if it continues, we are prepared for a much wider and deeper operation," he said, pledging to press on with "targeted attacks" against militants preparing to fire rockets.

    Israel kept schools shut in communities near the fenced Gaza boundary and residents were urged to remain indoors.

    Hamas has refused to renounce violence or recognize Israel's right to exist, and is ostracized by the Quartet of Middle East mediators comprising the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia.

    However, Hamas has said it would accept a truce with Israel in return for a state in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Bridge has a 20% interest in the well. Wintershall Norge AS is the operator with 40%. Other partners are E.ON E&P Norge AS and VNG Norge AS both having a 20% share.

    Tom Reynolds, Bridge Energy CEO, commented:

    "I am very pleased to announce the commencement of drilling on the Asha/Noor exploration well, our fourth well spudded in the second half of this calendar year. The well is a high impact exploration well which represents a large net upside potential for Bridge, with the costs associated with drilling operations mitigated by the Norwegian tax rebate system. We will announce results from the well once drilling operations are complete."
