| Pulitzer finalist Matt Bors to publish 10-year anthology in 2013 Posted: 03 Nov 2012 09:08 AM PDT  Matt Bors' cartoon 'White Babies Outnumbered'. – All rights reserved/Matt Bors Having already won the Herblock Prize for Excellence in Cartooning this year, Bors has benefited from public backing after he appealed for US$20,000 in order to bring Life Begins At Incorporation: Cartoons and Essays to press. The goal was reached in ten days via a Kickstarter campaign and, with another 19 to go, Bors is proposing a second collection of his cartoons should his US$30,000 stretch goal be met. In his mischevious 2012 Herblock Prize acceptance speech, filled as it was with jokes, advice and observation, Bors said that he wanted to "make people laugh at the things that they're outraged about, and scream at them for the things that they aren't" and found an opportunity for a friendly dig at 2012 Pulitzer winner Matt Wuerker.

| Israel: 3 Syria tanks enter Golan demilitarised zone Posted: 03 Nov 2012 08:59 AM PDT JERUSALEM, Nov 3 — Three Syrian tanks entered the demilitarised zone in the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria on Saturday, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. "The Israeli Defense Forces have filed a complaint with the UN (peacekeeping) force in the area," the spokeswoman said. She had no further information on what the tanks were doing. Israeli media said the tanks were involved in fighting in the Syrian village of Beer Ajam against rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. Israel is technically at war with Syria, but it has generally taken a cautious line on the uprising in its Arab neighbour. Errant Syrian mortars landed in Israel in September, spurring Israel to lodge a similar complaint with the United Nations observer force that monitors a long-standing, de facto truce between the two countries. Israel captured the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau, from Syria during a 1967 Middle East war. It later annexed it in 1981 in a move not recognised internationally. — Reuters |
