Israel asks U.S. for arms that could aid Iran strike

JERUSALEM?? Israel has asked the United States for advanced "bunker-buster" bombs and refueling planes that could improve its ability to attack Iran's underground nuclear sites, an Israeli official said on Thursday.

"Such a request was made" around the time of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington this week, the official said, confirming media reports.

But the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the issue, played down as "unrealistic" Israeli reports that the United States would condition supplying the hardware on Israel promising not to attack Iran this year.

White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked whether the Israelis had made such a request to U.S. officials during the visit, said "there was no such agreement proposed or reached" in President Barack Obama's meetings with Netanyahu or his aides.

But when asked if the matter was raised with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta or other U.S. officials, Carney told reporters he had no information on that. "I would refer you to other officials," he said.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that military capabilities came up in discussions between Netanyahu and Panetta but did not elaborate. No deals were struck during those talks, the official added.

Netanyahu made clear to Obama at a White House meeting on Monday that Israel had not yet decided on military action against Iran, the White House has said.

Netanyahu has hinted that Israel could resort to force should Tehran - which denies suspicions that it is covertly trying to develop atomic bombs - continue to defy big powers' diplomatic pressure to curb its nuclear program.

The risk of an Israeli-Iranian war troubles Obama, who is up for re-election in November and has cautioned against sparking greater Mideast turmoil, though he has also asserted that military action remains an option if sanctions fail. A Gulf conflict could send oil prices soaring.

A front-page article in the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Thursday said Obama had told Netanyahu Washington would supply Israel with upgraded military equipment in return for assurances there would be no attack on Iran in 2012.

Israel is widely assumed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal but its conventional firepower may not be enough to deliver lasting damage to Iran's distant, dispersed and well-fortified facilities, many experts say.

Israel has limited stocks of older, smaller bunker-busting bombs and a small fleet of refueling planes, all supplied by Washington.

Western powers suspect Iran's uranium enrichment program is aimed at stockpiling fissile material for nuclear weapons. Iran says it is strictly for civilian energy uses.

Bonobos Used This Creative 'Error' Page To Prevent An Online PR ...

Bonobos, an online store for men's apparel, saw its website go down during the holiday season?Cyber Monday, in fact. ?

That's an online retailer's worst-case scenario, but somehow, Bonobos managed to douse most of the flames with a creative error page.

Why were people calmed by something as simple as that?

Bonobos VP of customer experience John Rote talked about what happened during his presentation at the?Small Business Summit 2012?in Manhattan today.

It showed that "[Bonobos doesn't] really think the way other brands do," says Rote. "It gave the customers an opportunity to smile."

The folks at Bonobos knew that they had screwed up, accepted responsibility for it and assured customers that they would receive the same discount no matter what?all right up front. That goes a long way with customers, and they'll be more understanding if they know they're not being strung along.

And, Bonobos wasn't afraid of making fun of itself. A self-deprecating sense of humor can go a long way during a crisis. For instance, when the American Red Cross messed up with a rogue tweet, it made fun of itself, and people identified with that. After all, everyone makes mistakes.

"This ended up getting us a lot of PR during the holidays," says Rote. "And it ended up being a huge win even though the site was down for a while."

It also helped that Bonobos was transparent about its problem. Product design lead Jon Schlossberg posted on Quora a lengthy explanation of its "epic fail." While that likely didn't reach most customers, it was a great gesture from the brand.

We proudly introduce the new Sketch Team Members!

Our new Sketch Along Tuesday Sponsorship Coordinator

Hi, I'm Tenny Kusuma. I'm a mother of 2 and a wife to my childhood best friend. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, with my family. I was originally born and raised in Indonesia. I'm a stay-at-home during the day, and work part-time in the evening as a Home Health Caregiver.
I've been a paper crafter since I was really young, however, I fell in love with scrapbooking about 7 years ago. I LOVE everything about it, from choosing the papers to finding the perfect embellishments and alphabets. Scrapbooking is my only therapy, and I'm glad that my husband is supportive. My kids scrap with me, and they're the only reason I still scrapbook. I want my kids to remember their childhood lives in a special way.My name is Channa Suitella and was born and raised in The Netherlands, but for the last 5 years I live in Athens, Greece. I am married for almost 3 years, with my gorgeous Greek husband, hens the reason we live in Greece. No children or pets, that is still work in progress. I was introduced to scrap-booking about 9 years ago by my mother, who has taught me several crafting options. From making small figurines of fimo clay, sewing, jewelry making, cards and scrap-booking. Over the years I have made several lay outs which are stored in the Netherlands and i am making a new collection here in Greece. I have several passions............travelling, addicted to series, shopping etc but the main one is crafting. Recently I have been given the opportunity to become a "lady of leisure" and I dedicate all my time to my husband and of course crafting. I love making cards & lay outs, using several techniques and tools, stamps, ribbons, punches basically anything that I can find .

Hi!! My name is Stacia and I live in Manheim, Pennsylvania. My home consists of my fiance, Keith (we will be married March 23 in Cocoa Beach, Florida), my 9 year old daughter, Alyson and our rambunctious Pit Bull, Roxy. I?ve recently graduated from Penn State with my BS in Business! I've just taken a new position so my job is changing as well...With all of those changes in my life, the one thing that has remained constant is my love of scrapbooking. I began scrapbooking in 2002 while pregnant with my daughter and I have been addicted ever since! I would consider my style to be very clean and graphic. I think it is extremely important to have my photographs take center stage and be the main focus. I've recently started journaling more in my own handwriting as well. I am excited to get to work with Frosted Designs and thank you for having me!

I live in Auckland NZ with my hubby of 16 years (Mark) and my 6 gorgeous kids. I am a stay at home mum and since I discovered scrapbooking 5 years ago I have been a hopeless addict. I am currently on the design team for the NZ scrapbook store Scottie Crafts, the Australian based company ?Rasberry?, and the on-line challenge blogs ?Stuck? and ?Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge?. When I am not scrapping I can usually be found ferrying kids to their various activities, preparing endless meals (I hate cooking!), enjoying family time or blobbing in front of the TV. I am thrilled to be designing for 'Frosted Designs' and am looking forward to getting to know you all better over the next few months. My blog is at http://scrappinsaraz.blogspot.co.nz/Hi everyone! My name is Lynn Shokoples and I live in Alberta, Canada. I'm so excited to be part of such a fantastic group of ladies here at Frosted Designs. I'm a mom to two wonderful kids ages 24 & 20, and a wife to my wonderful husband of 28 years. I've been scrapbooking for as long as I can remember. My style has evolved along the way into what I call an earthy style. I love to scrapbook to be able to create and also to capture my families memories through my art. I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone creates and to be inspired by all the wonderful people I will get the opportunity to meet. When I'm not here at Frosted Designs you can find me blogging away at http://scrappyhappymom.blogspot.com/
