Microsoft Surface Pro Price Cut by $100

Without much fanfare, Microsoft has discounted its Surface Pro by $100. While the price cut last month to the Surface RT models was followed by a statement from Mcirosoft CEO Steve Ballmer about how the company had lost nearly $900 million dollars due to the troubled tablet, there is no indication as of yet that a similar problem is plaguing the Pro models.

The page on Microsoft?s site makes no mention as to how long this price cut will last, but in a statement obtained by The Verge, the price cut is applicable to consumers in?Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the U.S. and will last through Aug. 29.

While it may be easy to point to this price cut as a sign that the Pro has failed, there have also been rumors circulating that an updated version of the Microsoft produced tablets are in the pipeline with a potential release in the not too distant future. Clearing out the old stock always makes sense before releasing an updated product.

'African Americans for Justice in the Middle East & North Africa' condemn rising tide of racism in Israeli society (African Americans for Justice in the Middle East & North Africa, Mondoweiss)

We, the undersigned, condemn in the strongest possible terms recent?racist comments?made by Israel's newly-elected chief Ashkenazi rabbi, David Lau, who referred to African-American basketball players playing in Israel as "kushim," a derogatory term that is akin to "nigger." Rabbi Lau, a government official who is paid by the state and who is scheduled to serve a ten-year term as one of two official chief Israeli rabbis, made the offensive remarks to young Jewish religious students while warning them against watching televised sports like basketball. Following criticism from anti-racism activists, Rabbi Lau was defended?by Natfali Bennett,?Israel's Minister of Religious Services and?leader of the Jewish Home party.

Regrettably, the sentiments expressed by Rabbi Lau reflect a larger problem of racism in Israeli society. In recent years, Israel has witnessed a rising tide of socially acceptable bigotry, particularly against African asylum seekers and Palestinians, fanned by senior?religious?and?political?figures. In June 2012, Israel's then-Interior Minister, Eli Yishai,?declared?that Israel "belongs to us, to the white man," in response to a question about Muslim asylum seekers. The previous month, Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?and members of his Likud party, helped incite a wave of violence against Africans after making fear-mongering and incendiary comments about asylum seekers. In one instance, Likud parliamentarian Miri Regev described?African refugees as a "cancer in our body" at a rally in Tel Aviv that degenerated into what local media?described?as a "race riot" in which random individuals of African descent were attacked in the street. Around the same time, a series of?arsons and other?violent attacks?were carried out against Africans in Israel. The situation was so bad that a group of ambassadors from African countries?complained?to Israel's foreign ministry that African diplomats were afraid to walk down the street.

The situation for Palestinians living in Israel and the occupied territories is no better. Those who are citizens of Israel suffer systematic discrimination?as non-Jews living in a self-defined "Jewish state," while those living under Israeli military rule are denied?the most basic of political and civil rights, which are accorded to Jewish settlers living in illegal settlements right next to them, simply because they are not Jewish. Increasingly, the world is?recognizing?the regime that Israel has instituted in the territories that it controls between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as a form of apartheid.

As African Americans and as citizens of the United States, which provides enormous economic, military, and diplomatic support to the state of Israel, we are appalled by Rabbi Lau's racist statement,?the lack of condemnation from senior Israeli and American officials that it engendered, and by the disturbing growth in openly racist attitudes expressed in Israel against Africans, Palestinians, and others. We call on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, and all peoples of conscience, to condemn Rabbi Lau's comments and the growing culture of intolerance and naked racism in Israeli society that they represent,?and to demand his immediate removal from his position as chief Ashkenazi rabbi. As negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians begin again under the rubric of the US-sponsored peace process, which reportedly includes a demand?supported by the Obama administration that Palestinians officially recognize Israel as a ?Jewish state,? we also urge politicians and all others concerned to acknowledge and address the worsening racism and discrimination suffered by Palestinian and other non-Jewish citizens of Israel. Failure to do so will mean the perpetuation of the injustices done to the Palestinian people, and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, regardless of the results of any negotiations.?

CBS / CBS

Time Warner Cable customers in several major U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, have been without CBS programming since Friday, when negotiations over retransmission fees broke down. And now, thanks to a decision by CBS, those viewers andcustomers will feel squeezed out online: The network has decided to block them from accessing programming that would normally be available on the Internet, as well.

"If Time Warner Cable is a customer's Internet service provider, then their access to CBS full episode content via online and mobile platforms has been suspended as a result of Time Warner Cable's decision to drop CBS and Showtime from their market," CBS spokesperson Dana McClintock told TODAY.com.?

"As soon as CBS is restored on Time Warner Cable systems in affected markets, that content will be accessible again," she added.

That said, some TWC customers are still able to access CBS.com programming -- at least for now. As the spokesperson noted, "There are some instances where TWC customers have reported being able to watch. It's not 100%."

From London to Nice, the woman who led detectives to world?s richest fugitive

In less than 24 hours, Olena Tischenko would unwittingly lead British private investigators to the man they had hunted for 18 months. This is the Hollywood thriller-style story of how Mukhtar Ablyazov was tracked down to his nest of luxury villas on the Cote d?Azur.

Ablyazov, 50, was wanted on charges of massive fraud over the ?12?billion collapse of the BTA bank he ran in Kazakhstan.

The multi-billionaire fled to London in 2009 and went on the run in London when facing a prison sentence last year. Since then investigators hired by BTA have combed much of Europe, until Ms Tischenko, wearing a black mini-dress and tottering on four-inch heels, led them from London to Nice and then on a drive through the early hours of the morning to a sumptuous villa.

There, through the window, Ablyazov was finally spotted. He was in his underwear, making up a bed.

Sources say Ms Tischenko, the ex-wife of a Ukrainian multi-millionaire, was in the High Court on 22 July defending legal action brought by lawyers for? BTA and its creditors.

Shortly before 6pm she left court and took a taxi to Cornhill in the City, then a second cab to Heathrow where she did some shopping.

At 10.30pm her flight took off to Nice and she was picked up by the driver of a white Land Rover Discovery at 1.30am. She was driven to her home ? where she changed into the mini and heels ? and less than an hour later drove off in a grey Discovery for Villa Neptune in Miramar.

She went past the villa, parked away from it and then walked back at 3.07am. At 3.40am, Ablyazov was spotted for the first time, rearranging the bed and drawing the curtains. Ms Tischenko left the villa at midday to drive to the beach and that night flew from Nice to Moscow. Investigators kept watch at Villa Neptune and last Friday Ablyazov drove to another of his villas, Saint Basile in Mouglis.

That evening Ms Tisschenko arrived back in Nice and drove to Saint Basile to stay the night. On Monday, the bank contacted the French authorities in Aix-en-Provence to tell them about Ablyazov ? wanted under an Interpol notice issued by Ukraine.

Meanwhile the fugitive was on the move again to another luxury property, 1816 Chemin de Castellaras in Mouans-Sartoux. Two days ago a 12-man Brigade de Recherche et D?Intervention team, supported by a helicopter with thermal image detectors, arrived at the scene.

At 1.45pm they stormed in and Ablyazov was seized. He faces extradition to the Ukraine for a fraud trial but could be sent back to London to serve a 22-month sentence.

He had fled Kazakhstan in 2009 to claim asylum in Britain but BTA pursued him at the High Court, freezing his worldwide assets. With jail looming after his flouting of the court orders, he vanished ? until Ms Tisch-enko finally led detectives to him.

Ablyazov?s daughter Madina yesterday said her father faced ?grave danger? if returned to Kazakhstan.

Defending 4A champ falls in baseball

The first round is complete at the state high school baseball tournament and there will be a new champion in class 4A. Clinton jumped out to an early 8-0 lead then held off a furious rally by top ranked and defending champion Ankeny 10-8.

Chino Alcala?s two out single in the bottom of the ninth inning brought in the winning run as third ranked Des Moines East beat Davenport North 7-6. ?I was looking for an away curveball and he threw me a fastball and I just got out on it and hit it opposite field,? Alcala explains.

Davenport North tried to take the lead twice by attempting a double steal but both times had runner thrown out at the plate. Wildcats coach Cory Wachal says they had opportunities, but East made the plays they needed.

Dom Thompson-Williams drove in the lone run of the game and the Sioux City East Black Raiders scraped out a 1-0 victory over the 10th-ranked Cedar Rapids Xavier.
