But nine months of intensive diplomacy by his special envoy, Senator George Mitchell, has produced little substantial movement toward reviving negotiations. As he makes his U.N. debut this week, Obama needs the symbolic New York City meeting more than Netanyahu and Abbas do. Indeed, a White House spokesman told the New York Times that the purpose of the meeting is to "show [the President's] determination to get the process moving again...
...weekend. Grillo was up one stroke on Pollak after the first round (68-69), before the two switched spots (74-73), and then finished the tournament matched at 72.

Unfortunately, on that record, the songs were virtually indistinguishable, and the continuous electronic mayhem was overkill. HEALTH urgently needed an induction of discipline. The greatest success...
...will be victorious.” Track two, “Resistance,” starts slowly with a rudimentary piano riff, but it doesn’t take long to build to the same cathartic plateau as its predecessor. If it had been the second track on their debut album, it might have deserved high praise, but at this point, it just feels obvious.After the album’s only real jump-up-and-down anthems, Muse shifts gears. “Undisclosed Desires” is an eminently danceable track with a syncopated Keytar line that will induce...
