My classroom has no internet but every student has a mobile phone. I have set up a LAMP web server on an old laptop and at home by setting a static web address I could log on through my wifi to my mobile phone and see the web page.

I purchased a small USB powered router and plugged it in. Both phone and webserver are on the network but the web server page was not found. A bit of fiddling showed if I plugged the internet cable into the router the web server page is now visible when the machines are on the same network.

But my classroom does not have a wired internet connection, Any suggestions how I can connect a standalone webserver to a wireless router? Router is a TP Link TR-702N

And should BP conduct the independent investigation into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill?

The problem of Somali pirates attacking ships in international waters, killing crew members and stealing the ship has plagued the world for some time. Now I think the Israeli PM has shown us the answer.

Somalia needs to declare a blockade on some part of its coast which holds a despised ethnic minority, All ships off the Somali coast can then be boarded on suspicion of blockade running and crew can be shot on sight. Netanyahu assures us this is not piracy, is perfectly legal under international law and any dead crew got what was coming for attacking Somalia.

No pirates then - the Somalians can grab what they want. The US Secretary of State can even help by making sure any alleged excess of force is investigated by an independent Somali organisation.

Surely a Nobel Peace Price is in order for the man who eliminates piracy on the high seas?

Specifically which countries have shown their support of the blockade even the editor of an Israeli newspaper calls the 'ineffective, illegal and unethical siege on Gaza'.

This has only started.

Israel recognition and permanent peace with all Arab countries in return for Israeli withdrawal from lands captured in the 1967 Six Day War. Setting up a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and a just solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees.

If I understand correctly, anyone born in the occupied territories can only have the full rights of Israeli citizenship if their parents are of Israeli citizens, regardless of how long their family has lived in the same spot.

However, the right to settle Israelis on the West Bank is demanded - because the West Bank is regarded as part of Israel for settlement.

So what is the Israeli view of the West Bank? Sometimes it is part of Israel, sometimes it is not depending on whether you want to exclude people or steal land?

Since I am not a believer. I am not going there but I can not imagine what it would be like.

If I have a body, what age am I? Do different people see me as i was last remembered - from baby to old man? Can a body exist without desires? Does an eternity worshiping sound better than annihilation?

Is the whole concept of heaven just too bizarre?

I am looking for the last time Israel put forward proposals for dealing with the regional conflict, either multilaterally or at a country level, I am interested in what Israelis want and what they are prepared to give.

Please - links, not rants.

According to Israel, it is protecting itself from rocket attacks, Yet in August and September last year. only 2 rockets were fired from Gaza and firings only increased following an Israeli cross border incursion which killed several Hamas fighters. Israel also had, through its blockade, a strong negotiating position which made stopping rocket attacks a strong possibility.

Israel also has had a strong military option – invade and occupy the land immediately inside the Egyptian border and prevent smuggling of arms and explosives. Yet for years, it has allowed a virtually open and uncontrolled border.

Instead, a ground offensive against militants in a crowded city shows little sign of success and many of a public relations nightmare. Israeli spin does not add up as they had a strong position to enforce peace and now they are fighting as they did in Lebanon two years ago,

They already have a fence around nearly all of Gaza - why not 14 more km? It would be in Gaza, could have secure crossing points and no tunnels.

As Darkal says "Hamas won't smuggle weapons and will be forced to negotiate peace."

Happy to accept Nobel Peace Prize nominations.

And where should the borders be?

Would the deaths of 20 Palestinians in five years from Israeli attacks be reason enough? What actions by the Israeli government or military would justify a full scale attack by air and ground over several weeks and the deaths of hundreds of Israeli people in their own homes in a two week period?

I have three weeks in Argentina with my girlfriend in April, arriving and leaving from Buenos Aires. After sending her home, I have two further weeks before flying home from Santiago. I have considered a trip to the Iguaca Falls, on to Salta and up the Bolivian salt flats in three weeks before heading south to Patagonia in my two weeks. Feasible?

You know, like Ford falling over, Carter's angry rabbit, Clinton denying sex, or Nixon resigning?

Will it be 'My Little Goat','Put Food on your Family' , 'Mission Accomplished'' , 'Heck of a job, Brownie', or "Dodge the shoe"?

Any other nominatons?

Since 1992:

The Presidential losers:

John Kerry - commander of a swift boat in Vietnam and winner of two Purple Hearts

John McCain - Naval Pilot, shot down and held captive in Vietnam

And the winners who between them never heard a shot fired in anger:

Coincidence or active discrimination against war veterans?
