Israel's military offensive presses on, Kerry seeks ceasefire
克里努力促成以巴停火
Inside is dark, but their mission is clear. Israel says it's committed to removing hidden tunnels used by Hamas fighters in Gaza, and destroying the militants' missile stockpiles. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, meanwhile, is in the region, pressing for a ceasefire... meeting separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
里面漆黑一片,但是任务非常明确 。以色列表示,他们要把哈马斯战士在加沙地带使用的隐秘的隧道破坏,摧毁好战分子的导弹储备 。与此同时,美国国务卿约翰·克里抵达该地区,敦促双方停火 。他单独与以色列总理内塔尼亚胡和巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯会晤 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) US SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY SAYING: "We will continue to work with President Abbas and others in the region in order to achieve it, and I can tell you that we have in the last 24 hours, made some progress in moving towards that goal."

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) PALESTINIAN NEGOTIATOR SAEB EREKAT, SAYING: "This is not a war on the Gaza Strip or on Hamas. This is a war on the Palestinian people. This is not self-defence. This is a defence of settlement expansion, aggression and blockade."
巴勒斯坦谈判代表伊莱凯特(Saeb Erekat):“这不是关于加沙地带或哈马斯的战争,而是关于巴勒斯坦人民的战争 。这并不是自我防御的战争,而是防御定居点扩建,防御侵略,防御封锁的战争 。”

第一夫人米歇尔鼓励多喝水
First Lady Michelle Obama Announces Seven Organizations Join Drink Up Effort to Encourage Americans to Drink More Water, More Often
Brita?, First 5 Santa Clara County, Haws Corporation?, Nalgene? Outdoor Products, S’well Bottle, Santa Clara Valley Water District and The California Endowment will support Drink Up through products and marketing efforts
WASHINGTON, DC –Today, First Lady Michelle Obama joined the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) to announce that seven organizations have joined or renewed their support for the Drink Up effort, which encourages people across the country to drink more water, more often. Brita?, First 5 Santa Clara County, Haws Corporation?, Nalgene? Outdoor Products, S’well Bottle, Santa Clara Valley Water District and The California Endowment will support Drink Up by promoting its messages on water filtration systems, re-usable water bottles, drinking fountains or other products and programs. The First Lady also highlighted a new study from Nielsen Catalina Solutions (NCS), which found that a recent online ad campaign for Drink Up fueled a 3 percent lift in incremental sales of bottled water among those exposed to the campaign.
“When the Drink Up campaign was launched last year, it had one simple goal – to get kids and families excited about drinking water,” said First Lady Michelle Obama. “And today, less than a year later, we know that water sales jumped nearly three percent among people who saw Drink Up ads. So I am thrilled about the additional commitments to continue this effort that are being announced today by Brita, First 5 Santa Clara County, Haws, Nalgene, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, S’WELL Bottle Company and The California Endowment. And I am confident that in the coming months and years, we’re going to see people across this country drinking more and more water.
“As Drink Up encourages more people to drink more water, we also want to help make choosing water an easy choice. The efforts announced today – along with our current supporters’ efforts – will help us show more people that you are what you drink, and when you drink water you Drink Up,” said PHA CEO Lawrence A. Soler. “We applaud the efforts of each of these supporters toward helping us take another step closer to providing access to water for more people wherever they are,whenever they want it, however they want it – be it tap, filtered or bottled.”
