The rising anger of Israels Arabminority erupted into
violencewhen a group of far-right Jewishactivists marched into the
coun-trys second-largest Arab town,provoking clashes between
local
protesters and Israeli riot police.The clashes began after
localyouths hurled stones at the police,who responded by firing
rounds oftear gas and stun grenades. Clad inriot gear and gas
masks, police re-peatedly charged the ranks of de-monstrators,
making arrests duringrunning battles that lasted almost
twohours.
Several hundred police officerswere deployed in northern
Israelahead of the march, according topolice. The marchers, led by
BaruchMarzel and Itamar Ben Gvir, wereprotesting to commemorate the
20thanniversary of the murder of theradical Rabbi Meir Kahane and
to callfor the outlaw of the Islamic Move-ment in Israel.
Ben Gvir screamed into a mega-phone, "We demand to outlaw
theIslamic Movement. Only in Israel
can Raed Salah [the leader of the
northern branch of the Islamic Move-ment] come and say that
Israel needsto be erased ... and nothing is doneto stop it. We
demand that those whoare responsible outlaw the IslamicMovement.
Our message is to treat
the Islamic Movement with a toughhand."Police had denied
granting a per-
mit for the right-wing activists to holdthe protest, citing
security concerns.But an Israeli court overruled, sayingthe march
could take place.
"This march is a provocativemarch," said Hasan Sanallah of
theIslamic Movement. "This is a marchfor inciting violence. They
are cominghere to show that the Arab minoritiesin Israel are
barbaric, and we want toprove them the other way."
Sanallahdescribed the activists as "trying toincite violence in
Arab towns."
Kahane was an Israeli-Americanrabbi who established the
JewishDefense League. He founded a politi-cal party called Kach,
which cam-paigned for the imposition of Jewishlaw in Israel and the
ejection of Pal-estinians from Israel. The Israeli
government prohibited the party in
1988 for inciting racism. Kahane wasmurdered in two years later
in NewYork by El Sayyid Nosair, an Egyp-tian-American terrorist
convicted ofparticipation in the bombing of theWorld Trade Center
in 1993. A com-
parable right-wing protest took placein Umm al-Fahm in March
2009 andled to violent clashes between Pales-tinian Arab people of
the town andIsraeli riot police.
About 100 far-right activists pro-tested in the predominantly
Muslimtown. Reactionary Arab demonstra-tions that proceeded the
march leftscores of people injured and at leasta dozen people
arrested, police stat-ed at the time.
Protesters voiced a particularlycontroversial opinion in Umm
al-Fahm that has been the cause ofmounting anger. They demandedthat
Israeli Arabs be loyal to the Jew-ish state, a stance considered
insult-ing by many Israeli Arabs.
About 20 percent of Israel's popu-lation is comprised of
Arabs.

VIOLENCE ERUPTS AS RIGHT WINGPROTESTERS CLASH WITH POLICE
Arab-Israelis and Israeli riot police clash in Umm Al-Fahm, on
October 27, 2010.
From our Dearest Sex Advisor
LA(id) Realationship AdviceYou say that the theory of evolu-tion
is about as open to doubt asthe theory that the Earth goesaround
the Sun. Can you elabo-rate?People sometimes try to score debat-ing
points by saying, "Evolution is onlya theory." That is correct, but
it'simportant to understand what thatmeans. It is also only a
theory that theworld goes round the Sun - it's just atheory for
which there is an immenseamount of evidence. There are
manyscientific theories that are in doubt.Even within evolution,
there is someroom for controversy. But that we arecousins of apes
and jackals and star-fish, let's say, that is a fact in the
ordinary sense of the word.How do you believe life itself
be-gan?The origin of life has got to be some-thing
self-replicating. We don't knowwhat it was, but whatever it was,
itwas self-replicating.That is the big leap for evolutionarytheory,
isn't it?LA How do we getthat first self-replicating system?It is a
big leap; I don't think it's thebiggest. The step from a molecule
toa man seems to me to be rather big-ger. If you look at the sorts
of self-replicating systems that chemistshave produced in the
test-tube, thedifference is relatively trivial. Youhave some sort
of molecule much thesame as any of the others that chem-ists are
fooling around with, and theydo some little things and they've got
aself-replicating molecule. It looksmuch the same as any other:
it's nobigger, it's no more fancy, it just has a
particular shape.What do you mean exactly by
'self-replicating'?It has to grow and then split, so that
itproduces daughter units like itself.You can make small, pretty
ordinaryorganic molecules which just have theproperty that
something about theirshape forms a mold or template intowhich the
constituent sub-moleculesslot in just such a way that they pro-duce
a new composite molecule justlike the original. So, then you've
gottwo and each of those forms a tem-plate and then you've got four
andthen eight, and then 16, and so youget the exponential increase
yourequire. You even get mutations, andtherefore two different
kinds of self-replicating molecule in a state ofprimitive Darwinian
competition.You say in The Blind Watchmak-er that you don't need to
postulatethe idea of God to explain how theworld is. What do you
mean bythat?The whole scientific enterprise is
aimed at explaining the world in termsof simple principles. We
live in a worldwhich is breathtakingly complicated,and we have a
scientific theory - wehave several - which enables us tosee how
that world could have comeinto being from very simple begin-nings.
That's what I call understand-ing. If I want to understand how
amachine works, I want an explanationin terms of sub-units and even
smallersub-units, and finally I would get downto fundamental
particles. That's thekind of explanation which scienceaspires to
give and is well on the wayto giving.That is a very reductionist
ap-proach.
That is precisely what it is; that iswhat's good about it.
Reductionistexplanations are true explanations.You really feel
you've understood howa motor car works if you've been toldhow each
of its bits work and how thebits move together to make the carwork.
Then you feel you've really gotsomewhere. But if somebody tried
toexplain the car in terms of - well,Julian Huxley satirized it as
explaininga railway train by force locomotive -you would feel you
had understoodabsolutely nothing.Are there not other levels of
expla-nation? There's the classic story ofthe man on the cliff who
sees alight, and analyses it in terms of itsfrequency, intensity
and so on. Butthe point is, the light is a messagein morse and it's
saying the cliff isabout to collapse.Well, that anecdote certainly
makessense; but it doesn't stand for any-
thing. The message is presumablycoming from another human, and
ofcourse, messages from other humansare very complicated things;
but they,too, can be explained. The explana-tion in terms of the
wavelength of lightis not the only reductive explanation.What you
seem to say in The BlindWatchmaker is that because wedon't need to
postulate the idea ofGod, therefore we can reject it.Yes. I don't
think God is an explana-tion at all. It's simply redescribing
theproblem. We are trying to understandhow we have got a
complicated world,and we have an explanation in termsof a slightly
simpler world, and weexplain that in terms of a slightlysimpler
world and it all hangs togetherdown to an ultimately simple
world.Now, God is not an explanation of thatkind. God himself
cannot be simple ifhe has power to do all the things he issupposed
to do.Susan Blackmore said recently inThe Skeptic: 'I think the
idea weexist is an illusion The idea that
there is a self in there that decidesthings, acts and is
responsible isa whopping great illusion. The selfwe construct is
just an illusionbecause actually there's onlybrains and chemicals
and this"self" doesn't exist - it never didand there's nobody to
die.' Wouldyou agree with that kind of reduc-tionist explanation of
who you are?Yes. I mean, Susan is sticking herneck out for one
particular view ofwhat a self is, and it's one that I aminclined to
think is probably right; but Idon't think we are yet in a position
tosubstantiate that. What makes itseem plausible to me is
variousthings. One is that brains have come
into the world by a gradual process ofevolution and we have a
continuumfrom ourselves through al the otheranimals to animals that
have verysimple brains, to animals that have nobrains at all, to
plants. Certainly, theprediction that we don't survive deathseems
to me to be overwhelminglyprobable. That would be a good
oper-ational test - not that we can actuallytest it, but in
principle: if a self issomething other than brain stuff, thenit
should survive when the brain rots -and Id place a very heavy bet
(which Irealize I could never actually win) thatwhen my brain rots
my self will not inany sense exist.In my worldview, you are created
inthe image of God and that is whyyou know how you ought to be.
Ican explain your compassion. I'mwondering how you can.Well, one
way to understand it is that,by accident, we have evolved a
brain
which is powerful enough to be ableto look into the future and
evaluatedistant consequences. So, I can seethat to spend my whole
life satisfyingselfish whims might make me lesshappy in the long
run than if I spend itdoing something else like helpingother
people. If you catch me givingmoney to Oxfam and you say, "Whyare
you doing that?" and I can't an-swer you, it doesn't seem to me
that Ihave in any way betrayed my belief ina godless cosmos. If You
challengedme with a fossil rabbit which radioac-tive dating proved
was 2000 millionyears old, that would really be worry-ing. That
would, at a stroke, disproveevolution. Challenging me with
beingable to explain why I give money tocharity, that doesn't
bother me verymuch.

Uncontrolled Dollar is a Threat: ChinaThe U.S. Federal
Reserves
uncontrolled creation of dollarsis adding to inflation risks
inChina and creating problems forthe nations industries, saysChinas
Commerce Minis-ter Chen Deming. U.S. policiesand continued
increases in com-modity prices are bringing Chinathe shock of
imported inflation, thestate- run Xinhua News Agencycited Chen as
saying at a trade fairin Guangzhou yesterday. He re-ferred to
uncertainties anddifficulties for Chinese firms.
Chens statements contribute toan ongoing debate on currency
policies. The U.S. maintains that astronger Chinese yuan would
helpto decrease imbalances in globalsupply and demand. At the
sametime, emerging nations face inflowsof funds that threaten to
fuel infla-tion and asset bubbles.
Gains in commodity pricessuggest that the risk of
importedinflation is real, as a result of thequantitative easing
that may lead todollar weakness, said DariuszKowalczyk, a senior
economist andstrategist in Hong Kong at CreditAgricole CIB.
The Fed will meet November 2ndand 3rd to decide on whether
to
engage in a new round of quantita-tive easing.
To Kowalczyk, The biggesteffect on China from such U.S.policies
may be to drive inflows ofspeculative capital. He interpretedChens
comment as reactingagainst U.S. pressure for a strongeryuan. Chinas
inflation acceleratedto 3.6 percent in September, thefastest pace
in almost two yearsand more than the governmentsfull-year target of
3 percent. Policymakers this month raised interestrates for the
first time since 2007.

Californias proposed legalization ofmarijuana violates the U.S
constitution and,at the very least, would cause
individuals,families and businesses to detrimentally relyon an
illusory shield. Realizing this, theObama Administration vis--vis
AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder has recently changed its
stance on federal-state relations.History. Over 222 years ago in
The
Federalist No. 51 , James Madison describedthe American
government as a compoundrepublic with double security: Americansare
governed by two levels of government(state and federal government)
and also bydifferent divisions at each level (judicial,legislative,
and executive branches). Eachdepartment of government, Madison
arguedand it has been shown by the republicsendurance, ensures that
no one part of thegovernment abuses the power given to it bythe
people.
The U.S. Constitution entrusts to Con-gress the power to
prescribe laws affectinginterstate commerce. The SupremacyClause of
the Constitution requires that allinconsistencies between federal
and statelaws be resolved in favor of the federal gov-ernment
(hence, the federal government issupreme). Just as in 1954, when
the U.S.
Supreme Court decided that segregation
laws in Kansas violated blacks rights toequal protection under
the federal Constitu-tion, so too can the federal government
strikedown any law which the State of California,or any state,
enacts in contradiction to federallaw.
Federal Marijuana Laws. Through stat-utes and regulations,
Congress and the Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA) have long pro-hibited the possession of
substantial quanti-ties of marijuana. After the 2005 SupremeCourt
decision, Gonzales v. Raich, thereexist no doubt that Congresss
interstatecommerce powers include the authority toproscribe the
personal consumption of eventhe smallest quantities of marijuana. A
per-sons intrastate consumption of marijuanaeven if for medical
purposes, it was found bythe Court, bears a direct relationship
oninterstate commerce.
Given the above, a state proposition California Proposition 19,
in this case whichportends to authorize the consumption of
asubstance prohibited by the federal govern-ment does nothing more
than commit a hor-rendous fraud upon the very people whobelieve
that it promises to deliver an intelli-gent form of libertinism. In
its support, Prop19 advocates site marijuanas wide use andclaim
that its legalization would bring con-
sumption above board where its taxed sale
can contribute to the public coffers. Similarly,they argue,
growers and retailers of marijua-na can also do business without
fear of pros-ecution. How utterly foolish.
Indeed, if Prop 19 passed on November2, 2010, an entire sector
of the state wouldbe free to engage in the sale, taxation
andconsumption of marijuana for a few weeks.Then, the utopic
society would begin to crum-ble.
Yes, you can! One month after his
inauguration, President Obama informed the
American public through A.G. Holder thatfederal resources should
not be used tocircumvent state laws with regard to marijua-na. In
effect, he gave Americans the greenlight to smoke pot for their
health.
Now, however, after some time on the job,Holder wrote a letter
on behalf of the Admin-istration changing the White Houses tune.
Ina letter to the DEA, Holder writes, the federalgovernment will
vigorously enforce the[Controlled Substance Act] against those
individuals and organization that possess,
manufacture or distribute marijuana for recre-ational use, even
if such activities are permit-ted under state law.
Flip-Flop? Suppose the Obama Admin-istration justifiably changed
its position. Prop19 still leads Californians to believe
thatpersons would be shielded from federalincarceration by a state
law. Worse, Prop 19invites Californias unemployeds to a careerwith
the new would-be local agenciescharged with administering
marijuanas taxa-tion.
What tragedy would result to all of theseCalifornians if the
United States elected achief law enforcement officer of the
UnitedStates who actuallyenforced the laws of theUnited States? No
drafter of Proposition 19could pardon them. No misunderstanding
ofthe Supremacy Clause or Prop 19 wouldprovide a defense to the
wide array of peo-ple, from agriculturalists to consumers, whowould
inevitably spend substantial time in afederal facility.
There exists no guarantee of a future pro-drug president. If the
legalization of marijua-na holds muster as a policy for the
UnitedStates or portion thereof, then the same mustbe enacted as
federal law. The DEA will notrelax its promulgations and thereby
defeat itsown purpose. To achieve Prop 19s purport-ed goals,
Congress must act to revise theControlled Substance Act to
specificallyexclude marijuana as a proscribed sub-stance. Anything
less than such federallegislation provides nothing more than
delu-sive appeasement.

ACROSS THE COUNTRYIt has been a year of parity and surprises
with Texas losing to the likes of UCLA andIowa State but beating
Nebraska. SouthCarolina upended #1 Alabama but thencame up short
against Kentucky. Floridahas tanked losing three straight,
culminatingwith a 10-7 loss to Mississippi State. Wis-consin likely
ended the Buckeyes shot at anational title and Michigan State is
the onlyundefeated team in the BIG-10. The Mid-
shipmen of Navy pounded Notre Dame 35-17 to beat the Irish three
out of the last fouryears with Notre Dame 4-4 under first yearhead
coach Brian Kelly.
CHANGING OF THE GUARCHANGING OF THE GUARCHANGING OF THE

ers became the third No. 1 team to lose inthe last 3 weeks.

sights set on an opportunity to play forthe big prize in Glen-dale,
Arizona. Michi-gan State is 8-0 andavoids the Buckeyesthis season

can get by Iowa onSaturday.Leading Heisman candidate Cam

Auburnstill looming at the end of the season. Utahand TCU are on a
collision course in twoweeks on November 6th. This week,
sur-prising 7-0 Missouri travels to Nebraska andthe AP #1 ranked
Oregon Ducks and Col-lege Game Day travel to the Coliseum totake on
the #24 ranked USC Trojans.
KELLY'S OREGKELLY'S OREGKELLY'S OREGKELLY'S OREGONONONON
DUCKSDUCKSDUCKSDUCKSUnder the coaching of Chip Kelly, the
Oregon Ducks have become a juggernaut inthe Pacific Northwest.
It was an inauspi-cious beginning last year for Kelly and theDucks
with their opening loss to Boise Stateand ugly sucker punch by
LaGarette Blount.Oregon rebounded to make it to the Rose
Bowl annihilating USC in Eugene along theway and beating Oregon
State in the CivilWar to seal the deal. In the off season,
lastyear's starting quarterback Jeremiah Masoliwas kicked off the
team for criminal arrests.Since then, the Ducks have looked
nearlyinvincible as they have been on a blitzkriegrolling over
outgunned opponents.
Nationally, Oregon is 1st in scoring of-fense, averaging 55.4
points per game, totalyards with 569.1 and 3rd in rushing yards
with 308.4 per game. The defense has flownunder the radar
operating with a "bend butdon't break" style and is 12th in the
countryin scoring defense with 15.9 per game.
The Ducks seem to have borrowed apage from Pete Carroll's
Trojans with anarsenal of depth and weapons and a teamthat gets
stronger as games go on. Theyhave not given up a point this season
in the4th quarter. After the UCLA game, Kellynamed his team's
competitive advantage:superior depth. There is also a swagger
thatthe Ducks have while still having fun likecalling plays with
ESPN broadcaster
mug shots on theirplay cards from thesidelines. His philoso-phy
is to take it onegame at a time andnot look past anyopponents and
theypractice with a lighting
-paced tempo inpractice similar to Coach Carroll's practicesin
the earlier years.
He is also a master motivator who willpull out all stops to fire
up his team. Prior tothe UCLA game, Kelly showed his team the9th
round of an epic boxing match from2002 between Irish Mickey Ward
and ArturoGatti and when the lights came up, outcame Ward to fire
up the team. Kelly hasequated this game as simply the 8th roundof a
heavyweight fight on their quest for thetitle. Does any of this
sound familiar? Atpractice on Monday, Kelly blasted USC'sfight song
Conquest over the loudspeakersas another way to strengthen his
team'spsyche.
Oregon is averaging roughly three offen-sive plays per minute
and is ranked 114 outof 120 in offensive time of possession butonly
because they score so quickly. They
destroyed UCLA last Thursday night 60-13by running and passing.
Quarterback Dar-ron Thomas threw for a career high 308
yards and three touchdowns and Heismancandidate LaMichael James
rolled for 123yards and two touchdowns. Their no huddle,speed
offense puts relentless pressure on a
defense and they have sunk several oppo-nents down the stretch.
Oregon went toKnoxville and was knotted at halftime at 13only to
demolish the Volunteers 48-13. Theywere tied with Stanford 31-31
deep in the3rd quarter before rocking the Cardinals 52-31. Oregon's
quarterback runs their spreadoffense with tremendous efficiency and
hehas numerous options in his arsenal. LaMi-chael James is a
legitimate Heisman candi-date and he works perfectly in the
Oregonoffense. He has a low center of gravity,great balance, and
breakaway speed.
TROJANS TAKING STEPS TO MATCH UPTROJANS TAKING STEPS TO MATCH
UPTROJANS TAKING STEPS TO MATCH UPTROJANS TAKING STEPS TO MATCH
UPThe Trojans are coming off their best
game of the season and the most completeperformance in all
phases under first yearHead Coach Lane Kiffin. They put it
alltogether and hammered the CaliforniaBears, going up 42-0 at
halftime en route toa 48-14 pounding. The defense showed up
just in time this season with a consistentpass rush and stunts
and blitzes that putconsistent heat on Cal's offense. There was
a lot of talk last week about USC looking likethe "retro"
Trojans after their dominatingperformance but this is the new era.
Truesophomore quarterback
Matt Barkley has contin-ued to develop underCoach Kiffin and
hasmoved into conversa-tions as one of the topquarterbacks in
thecountry. His decisionmaking continues toimprove and he is making
huge strides inprotecting the football with 20 touchdownsand only
four interceptions.
Barkley has shown a command of theoffense the last two weeks
accounting foreight touchdowns and no interceptions andhe has
flourished with the emergence oftrue freshman receiver Robert
Woods.Woods has helped to stretch the defenseand is creating
opportunities down the field.Ten different receivers caught
passesagainst the Bears, seven catches each byWoods and Ronald
Johnson and five byStanley Havili. He has an arsenal of weap-
ons to distribute the ball to but running thefootball will be
crucial against the Ducks.
The Wildcat formation with Marc Tyler isanother wrinkle that the
Trojans are runningwith great productivity. The most important
statistic from the
Cal game that theTrojans will need toduplicate this weekwas time
of pos-session of 36minutes, total playsof 80, and 211yards
rushing. The
best defense against Oregon will be a greatoffense.
As always, the game is won and lost inthe trenches and the
offensive line mustown the line of scrimmage. The Trojans willhave
to win the turnover battle against theDucks. The Trojans are 6th in
the countryand converting 52.94% of 3rd downs thisseason.
Turnovers and 3rd down conversion/timeof possession will be
deciding factors in theoutcome of this game.
