• Big news in the West Bank: Chief Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat resigned; Prime Minister Salam Fayyad disbanded the cabinet and planned to form a new one; and new presidential and parliamentary elections will be held in September, in a response to calls in the wider Arab world for more democracy. [NYT]

• A new report, conducted and released by Symantec, found that the computer virus Stuxnet, widely believed to be Israel’s handiwork, infected Iranian nuclear facilities at just five initial points. [NYT]

• President Obama reiterated his support for the U.N.’s probe into former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination as the sixth anniversary of the event approaches. [Ynet]

• The top U.S. general and a top U.S. diplomat were in Jordan this weekend to reassure (and be reassured by) King Abdullah II, whose reign has been unprecedentedly challenged in recent weeks. [WP]

• One of the most significant consequences of the events in Egypt for the U.S. and Israel could be the subsequent decline in counterterrorism cooperation. [WP]

    If I believed anything that Pres. Obama said, perhaps I would believe that the Egyptians would keep their promise on peace to Israel.

    Why then did Pres. Obama send retired Mr. Weisner to speak to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt? Our enemies are very patient. They may not come out in the next few years until they feel it is the right time and then..unexpectedly they may take over Egypt.

    They waited from 1993 to 2001 to bring down the twin towers.

    They will wait till things simmer down and then forget about the peace treaty with Israel.

    Mark Tracy, do not be so gullible. The Arab countrys could have made peace 60 years ago and we all know it. Arafat walked away from more than Israel should have offered.

    Jews and Christians will never be accepted in the Arab world or they would not have made such a fuss over any of our soldiers that dared to wear a cross or the star of david during the Persian Gulf War as we defended them.

    So, what happens when our enemies decide to take over Lebanon and

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    Hi Beth Anne! My name is Amanda Ciccitto. I’m a Speech Pathology major at Penn State. Your story is so incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You truly are an inspiration. I have a few questions for you. First, what do you find the biggest daily challenge is for you during the school week? And second, are there specific reasons as to why you are so motivated to finish school? I admire your perseverance so much, and am curious as to some ways we could motive other people with disabilities, similar to your own, to believe can obtain a college degree as well. Again, thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Take care Sincerely, . Amanda
