Court Accuses Al-Bashir of Darfur War Crimes
THE prosecutor of the n e w l y - e s t a b l i s h e d International Criminal Court (ICC) today accused Sudanese President Omar al- Bashir of genocide and war crimes arising out of the war in Darfur.
In a case which puts into sharp focus the sometimes competing demands of international humanitarian law and the political compromises into which states enter to secure peace, the ICC's prosecutor, Luis Moreno- Ocampo. presented evidence to the court at its seat in The Hague. An ICC press release said Moreno-Ocampo had decided after a three-year investigation that "there are reasonable grounds to believe that... [al-Bashir] bears criminal responsibility in relation to 10 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes."
He charged that al-Bashir "masterminded and implemented a plan to destroy in substantial part the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups, on account of their ethnicity." When the groups, which were resisting the marginalization of Darfur, rebelled and the government failed to defeat them, the Sudanese president "went after the people."
The ICC quoted Moreno- Ocampo as saying of al- Bashir: "His motives were largely political. His alibi was a 'counterinsurgency.' His intent was genocide." The prosecution said the Sudanese armed forces and the Janjaweed militia were acting on al-Bashir's orders in their five-year-long campaign of attacking and destroying villages. Moreno-Ocampo added: "By preventing the truth about the crimes from being revealed; concealing his crimes under the guise of a 'counterinsurgency strategy', or 'inter tribal clashes', or the 'actions of lawless autonomous militia', al- Bashir made possible the commission of further crimes. He promoted and provided impunity to his subordinates in order to secure their willingness to commit genocide." The prosecutor has asked a pre-trial chamber of the ICC to issue an arrest warrant for al-Bashir.

02/08/2008 14:57 ENTEBBE, Uganda, Aug 2 (AFP)
Ugandan president says AU should probe Beshir over Darfur
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday argued that the African Union (AU) should carry out its own probe into war crimes allegations against Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir.
"The correct position of the AU should be to investigate ourselves. We don't condemn the indictments but the AU should conduct investigations itself so that we decide on our own," Museveni told reporters in Entebbe.
"You may get people misbehaving. Is it Beshir who ordered them to do so?" Museveni asked, replying to a journalist's question.
"Suppose he made those mistakes," he added, warning against "ignoring the rights of the victims, the ones who have suffered."
International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo last month requested an arrest warrant be issued against Beshir over charges of war crimes in Sudan's war-torn western region of Darfur.
If accepted by the judges, the request would result in the first ever arrest warrant issued by the world tribunal against a sitting head of state.
The move drew an uneasy reaction from the African Union, which urged ICC judges to give Beshir more time and warned against the risks of further chaos in the conflict-ridden country.
Museveni added he believed that Sudan had also "committed war crimes by supporting the Lord's Resistance Army", the Ugandan rebel group Museveni's regime has been battling for two decades.
"The Lord's Resistance Army -- led by Joseph Kony, using bases in Sudan and with the backing of Khartoum government -- has caused untold suffering to millions of people in northern Uganda," he said.
LRA leader Kony and four of his top commanders were slapped with ICC arrest warrants in 2005 for raping and mutilating civilians, enlisting child soldiers and massacring thousands.
Museveni took power through a military coup in 1986, three years before Beshir seized power in Khartoum.

Turn of the screwdriver - genocide, justice or peace for Darfur?
Post a comment (1)Posted by: Louis Charbonneau
Tags: Global News, Bashir, Darfur, genocide, ICC, international criminal court, Sudan, The Hague, U.N., United Nations Security Council, war crimes
Sudans ambassador to the United Nations Abdalmahmoud Abdalhaleem says Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, is a screwdriver in the workshop of double standards for seeking to prosecute the president of Sudan, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, for genocide in Darfur. He rejects the term genocide and says the prosecutor is unfairly picking on Africas largest country and ignoring war crimes elsewhere.
Moreno-Ocampo accuses Bashir of launching a genocide campaign in 2003 that was intended to wipe out three ethnic groups in Darfur, a desolate and remote region of western Sudan where oil was discovered in 2005. He says the Sudanese leader used mass murder, rape, deportation and slow death by starvation and disease to kill tens of thousands in Darfur. Moreno-Ocampo wants the ICC judges to issue an international arrest warrant for Bashir.
Khartoum rejects the charges and says it will never hand over any of its citizens to The Hague, where the ICC is based. Like the United States, Russia and China, Sudan is not a party to the ICC, though the Security Council referred the issue of Darfur to the court in 2005.
Abdalhaleem says that if the judges decide to indict Bashir it will ignite a curtain of fire that will engulf all of Sudan and the region. He has yet to provide details, but U.N. peacekeeping officials say they are worried.
China, Russia, South Africa and others fear an indictment of Bashir would shatter the fragile peace process in Darfur and have vowed to push the Security Council to freeze the ICC investigation of Bashir. The United States, Britain, France and other Western powers say they do not want to tamper with the independence of the ICC and oppose intervening.
The African Union, the Arab League and non-aligned nations have also urged the council to suspend any ICC indictment of Bashir. Russias U.N. envoy Vitaly Churkin has said that the countries calling for a suspension comprise roughly two-thirds of the earths population.
Those arguing for a suspension say the top priority should be the full deployment of all 26,000 U.N.-African Union peacekeepers (only 9,500 are there now) and a swift end to the 5-year-old conflict in Darfur, in which international experts believe at least 200,000 have died, with another 2.5 million left hungry and homeless.
Richard Dicker, an international justice expert at the New York-based Human Rights Watch, says the opposite is true nothing could be better for peace in Darfur than to indict, arrest and try the man believed to be responsible for orchestrating the genocide.
What do you think? Is the West guilty of applying double standards for justice in the developing world? Do you fear a curtain of fire in Africa if Bashir is indicted? Should the world push for peace in Darfur now and worry about indictments later? Or should justice come first for the victims of war crimes in Darfur, whatever the cost?

Sudan army in 'Darfur operation'
The UN says fighting has displaced up to two million people since 2003 [File: EPA]
The Sudanese army has begun a massive operation to destroy rebel bases in northern Darfur, according to two factions based in the area.
The army is said to have launched the offensive in the town of Wadi Atron, near the Sudanese-Libyan border, on Tuesday and took control of areas which had for years been under the control of rebels who want more autonomy for the region.
Al-Sayyid Sherif, of the Sudan Liberation Army (Unity) faction, said: "They attacked our areas in Wadi Atron with a massive force.
"We consider this a new declaration of war."
SLA (Unity) is one of the largest Darfur rebel groups and was one of the few factions to say they were ready to go to peace talks.
A Sudanese army spokesman declined to immediately comment, but one army source confirmed there were operations under way.
Suleiman Marajan, a commander from the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) faction, said: "They came with more than 200 vehicles and killed seven people."
The SLA was founded and is currently led by Abdel Wahed Mohamed al-Nur.
The oil factor
Marajan also said that the government had moved in Chinese workers who were looking for oil in the remote area.
The Dow Jones newswire news agency reported last month that state-owned Chinese oil service companies were in talks to help Sudan exploit crude reserves in North Darfur where security would be provided by the Sudanese army.
North Darfur is part of the so-called Block12A, a site where oil is said to have been found, and is operated by Sudan's state-owned Sudapet, Ansan, an independent firm, and Saudi Arabia's Al-Qahtani group, the article said.
The Sudanese oil ministry would not immediately confirm whether any exploration has begun in Block 12A.
Chinese companies dominate Sudan's budding oil sector which produces more than 500,000 barrels per day of crude.
Ocampo 'evidence'
In a related development, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, told Al Jazeera that the ICC maintains its right to investigate human-rights violations in Darfur despite Sudan not recognising the ICC's jurisdiction.
He said that he had clear evidence of abuses committed in Darfur, including certificates for more than a hundred people, and a clear map of villages and regions that were exposed to attacks.
Ocampo described the violations that took place in Darfur as a "scandal".
According to the UN, up to 300,000 people have died and more than 2.2 million have fled their homes since the conflict erupted in February 2003.
Sudan says 10,000 people have been killed.
The war began when African ethnic minority rebels took up arms against the Arab-led Khartoum government and state-backed Arab militias.

Bush urges China to use clout with Sudan on Darfur

August 11, 2008
BEIJING (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Monday he used talks with China's leaders during the Beijing Olympics to press them to use their influence with Sudan to help end the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
Wrapping up his Olympics tour, Bush said that in Sunday's meetings with President Hu Jintao and other officials he raised U.S. concerns, including human rights and religious freedoms in China and the situation in Sudan's troubled Darfur region.
"My attitude is if you've got relations with (Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir), think about helping to solve the humanitarian crisis in Darfur," Bush said in an interview with NBC Sports. "That was my message to the Chinese government."
Support for Sudan -- China is a key investor in its oil industry and Khartoum's biggest arms supplier -- has been among the sources of international criticism of Beijing as the world's spotlight has fallen on it for the Olympic games.
Bush has denounced the Sudanese government for its policies in the Darfur region, where conflict has taken some 200,000 lives and displaced some 2.5 million people since rebels took up arms against the government in 2003.
Bush has called it genocide, a charge the Sudanese government has rejected.
The United States protested to China over its decision before the Games' opening ceremonies to revoke the visa of Olympic gold medalist Joey Cheek, an activist for Darfur.
"Joey Cheek has just got to know that I took the Sudanese message for him (to the Chinese government)," Bush said.
Bush said he also made his case for more religious freedom in China in private talks with the Communist leadership after worshipping at a state-sanctioned Beijing church, and said Hu "listened politely."
"It gave me a chance to say to the Chinese people, religion won't hurt you," Bush said.
"And it gave me a chance to say to the government, why don't you register the underground churches and give them a chance to flourish?"
Bush's four-day visit to Beijing was a balancing act, taking in the Olympic games and praising China on a variety of issues while publicly nudging China to improve its internationally criticized record on human rights.

PPP-S condemns NATO attack in S Waziristan
Staff Report
PESHAWAR: Pakistan Peoples Party-Sherpao (PPP-S) chief Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Thursday strongly condemned US-led NATO forces missile attack carried out in South Waziristan Agency on Wednesday and termed it an open violation of the countrys airspace.
In a statement issued here, the PPP-S chief termed the NATO attack an aggression against the countrys sovereignty and urged for practical steps to stop such incidents in future.
He said that NATO attacks in Pakistan are violation of UN laws and a deadly blow on the countrys sovereignty. He said that the government should not show any lethargy in such cases and devise a useful strategy for putting an end to such attacks.
Sherpao, former interior minister, said such attacks were causing disappointment and anger among the masses and have killed many people.
He said the countrys security situation was further deteriorated with the NATO attacks and if such attacks were not stopped, these will bring bad consequences.
He also showed concern over helicopters and war planes shelling in Bajaur Agency due to which thousands of tribesmen have started to shift to safer places.
He expressed his full support and sympathy with the people of Bajaur and demanded of the government to take immediate steps for providing shelter, food and other basic amenities to the displaced people of the agency.

Rebels accuse Sudanese army of new Darfur attacks
Sat 16 Aug 2008, 9:52 GMT
[-] Text
By Opheera McDoom
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Darfur rebels accused Sudan's government of more attacks on Saturday, saying Khartoum was not serious about peace and was pursuing a military solution to the conflict.
Sudan's army denied the allegation and said its troops had fought off an ambush in an isolated incident.
The joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in the remote region said it was checking the reports.
"The government army and militia attacked us yesterday in Abu Hamra and Kofod east of Kutum in North Darfur," Nimr Mohamed, spokesman for the Sudan Liberation Army under Abdel Wahed Mohamed el-Nur, told Reuters from Darfur.
"The National Congress Party talks peace but in reality on the ground they are pursuing a military solution," he said on Saturday. He added that rebel and army forces were still in the area and he expected further clashes.
Two rebels were killed and many civilians were killed or wounded in the crossfire, he said.
A Sudanese army spokesman denied attacking, saying troops were accompanying a convoy of local officials when they were attacked by bandits on camels whom they fought off without any losses.
"These areas don't even belong to SLA Abdel Wahed," the spokesman said.
Since the International Criminal Court announced steps last month to indict President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for genocide and war crimes, he paid a defiant visit to Darfur calling for all rebel groups to attend peace talks.
The only faction that signed a largely unimplemented 2006 peace deal with Khartoum also accused the army of attacking its areas on Thursday.
"The government attacked us in Dorma, North Darfur...killing five of our troops," said Mohamed Drbeen, military spokesman for the SLA faction led by presidential adviser Minni Arcua Minnawi.
The army said it had no information on these clashes.
Rebels say this is part of a wider campaign by Khartoum before new peace efforts under new joint U.N.-African Union mediator Djibril Bassole.
This week, a massive army force seized control of rebel areas in the remote north of Darfur.
Before previous peace talks, government and rebel forces have launched attacks to control as much land as possible.
International experts estimate about 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million driven from their homes since mostly non-Arab rebels took up arms in early 2003, accusing the central government of neglect.

Suspected Insurgents Killed in Missile Strike, Pakistanis Say

Yahoo! Buzz
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 13, 2008
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) A missile strike in a Pakistani tribal region killed at least nine suspected insurgents, including foreigners, Pakistani officials said Wednesday, raising suspicions that the United States was again seeking out militants in Pakistan.
A spokesman for the American military denied that it was behind the four missiles, which reportedly struck late Tuesday, destroying a compound in a mountainous area near Angore Adda in South Waziristan. However, past strikes are believed to have been conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency using Predator drones.
The tribal regions are considered havens for militants linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban who plot and stage attacks on United States and NATO forces in Afghanistan, and the United States has repeatedly urged Pakistan to bring those areas under control. The missile strikes, however, have strained ties between the United States and Pakistan.
A Pakistani military official said at least nine people died in the latest strike. Two Pakistan intelligence service officials said 22 to 25 people including Arabs, Turkmens and Pakistani militants died in the strike, which was apparently launched from Afghanistan.
They said the camp was linked to the group of the Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whose followers are fighting in Afghanistan. They said it was not clear if the camp leader, an Afghan identified as Cmdr. Zangeer, or other senior militants had been killed.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammed Sadiq, said he had no official information on the strike. In the past, Pakistan has decried the missile strikes as violations of its sovereignty.
An American military spokesman in Afghanistan, First Lt. Nathan Perry, said, Ive got no reports of any border incidents, any cross-border incidents, so it wasnt us.
Pakistans army spokesman was not available for comment. The other Pakistani officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the news media.
Suspected American missile strikes have killed at least two senior Qaeda militants inside Pakistan this year, including an Egyptian explosives and poison expert, Abu Khabab al-Masri, who died in a strike in South Waziristan in July.
Separately on Wednesday, Pakistani forces backed by helicopter gunships pounded militant positions in the Bajur tribal region in an operation that has displaced thousands of people.
At least 25 suspected militants were killed on Wednesday and another 30 were wounded in airstrikes in several villages in the region, military officials said.
There has been no way to independently confirm the death toll.
Early Wednesday, gunmen attacked the headquarters of a banned militant group in the Khyber tribal region and shot its leader dead, his spokesman said.
The leader, Hajji Namdar, died of his wounds after he was taken to a hospital from the shooting in Barqambarkhel, about seven miles from the regions main town of Bara, said the spokesman, Munsaf Khan.
His Vice and Virtue Movement was among three groups banned in June when security forces started an operation to curb militancy and lawlessness in Khyber, amid concern that the main northwestern city of Peshawar could be under threat.

Sudanese: 'What Arab-African rift?'
In Sudan's Arab north, Arabs marry, go to school, and work side by side with Africans from Darfur. The divide portrayed in the West means little to people here.
By Heba Aly | Contributor to The Christian Science Monitor
from the August 22, 2008 edition
E-mail Print Letter to the Editor Republish del.icio.us digg
Dongola, Sudan - Ask Abbas Adam Ibrahim whether he is Arab or African, and he does not quite know how to respond. "Both," the Sudanese man says, after slight hesitation.
Mr. Adam comes from the Fur tribe, of Darfur commonly understood to be an African tribe, under persecution by Sudan's Arab-dominated government.
Last month, the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor indicted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur, saying "evidence shows that al-Bashir masterminded and implemented a plan to destroy in substantial part the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa groups, on account of their ethnicity."
But for Sudanese Arabs and Africans coexisting peacefully outside Darfur, these racial distinctions are not so clear.
Adam, for example, believes he has some Arab blood.
During the drought of the early 1980s, Adam left Darfur for the mostly-Arab north of Sudan, in search of work and a better life. He settled in Dongola, a city more than 300 miles north of the capital, Khartoum, and has lived among Arabs ever since. He even married one and now has four "mixed" children.
"We live here peacefully and there are no problems," he says. "We live as if we are natives here. We feel that this is our country and this is our town."
Around the corner, at a small Darfurian social club, the atmosphere is loud and buoyant. Young men gather around tables playing cards, slamming down dominoes excitedly, and watching television. They are mostly economic migrants who left Darfur years ago. Among them are members of various tribes that are killing each other back in Darfur and in neighboring Kordofan State.
"There is no such thing as Arab or African. We are all Sudanese," says Mohammed El-Cheikh an Arab from Western Kordofan. "Him over there," he says, pointing across the yard to a young man standing shyly in the corner, "that's my friend Abubakr. He's from the [African] Tama tribe.
"There are problems in Darfur, but they are not between people. They are related to the government and to politics."
In scores of markets, clubs, and homes in the Arab north, Arabs and Africans are working side by side, sending their children to the same schools and intermarrying. The Arab-African distinction that has played out so broadly in media coverage of Darfur means little to people here.
In fact, historians say the distinction has no factual basis. There is a long tradition of intermarrying between the Arab and African tribes that settled in what is now Sudan.
"No single tribe in Sudan can claim it is purely African or Arab," says history teacher and mayor of the greater Dongola locality Bushra Mohamed Saleh. "They are all mixed."
And while some tribes may be more Arab or more African, coexistence between them is nothing new. Even in Darfur, different tribal groups lived together for centuries. So-called Arab nomadic tribes and African farming communities shared the same land the nomads using it for their cattle to graze; the farmers using it to grow their crops. Conflicts arose routinely but were solved through traditional leaders.
Things changed early this millennium when traditional leaders lost their control, guns became more commonplace, and a group of non-Arab Darfurians took up arms against the government, arguing that their region had been neglected.
In responding to this rebellion, the government made a "big, big, big mistake," says Gen. Hassan Hamadain, who governed West Darfur State during the late 1990s.
It called upon popular defense forces from local communities to combat the Darfur rebels. But those who responded were mostly Arabs, many of whom joined the now infamous janjaweed militia that is accused of razing hundreds of African villages, looting, raping, and killing along the way.
"The government made use of the conflict in Darfur in a kind of non-thoughtful way," says General Hamadain, who has since retired from politics, acknowledging that he and others failed in Darfur. "It was not sensitive to the tribal relationships, the tribal history of the area, and the resources."
And so what began as normal, cyclical conflicts between mostly Arab herders and non-Arab farmers grew to what has been termed the world's largest humanitarian disaster. The United Nations says some 300,000 have died and 2.5 million have been displaced.
Among the dead were members of Hassan Ali Ibrahim's village, which was completely destroyed by Arabs. But he says he can't hold them all responsible.
"The disputes between the Arabs and people in Darfur originate from different reasons grazing, pastures, natural things. They are not rooted in race," said the community elder, sitting under a tree at the Islamic school he manages in Dongola, where both Arab and African children sit side by side. "The Arabs that are here have nothing to do with this."
Still, for some Darfurians, it is not so easy to forget. Daoud (not his real name) watched with his own eyes as members of his family were killed by Arab militias in West Darfur. After the first attack on his village, he found his father dead. He says he does not blame the Arabs "Who supported them? Who gave them the guns? Wasn't it the government?" but he still has difficulty getting too close.
"I can interact with Arabs at work or in general ways, but when it comes to close relationships, I feel there is a wall between us."
British analyst Jago Salmon says this social polarization a result he blames partly on simplistic descriptions by Western Darfur advocates has been an unfortunate consequence of the conflict, but was never its root.
"We were still looking for dichotomy of some kind, something that would explain what was going on easily and simply. We latched onto the Arab-African dichotomy, which did vast damage . Then as the conflict developed, it became a reality on the ground. It became something by which people explained the conflict themselves."
But as the conflict continues in Darfur 180,000 have fled their homes this year alone, according to the UN Adam will wake up next to his Arab wife every morning, Ali will teach his Arab students, and plenty of other African Darfurians will keep living alongside Arabs, wishing the politics would cease and their tribes could go back to life as usual.

About this font family
Ellida is a very elaborate and elegant script in the tradition of the 18th-century English calligrapher George Bickham and the 19th-century American calligrapher Platt Rogers Spencer.
I really enjoyed designing this script and maybe one day I will add starting and ending letters. Doing this script was extremely time- and brain-consuming, it is a huge challenge to make calligraphic letters work on computers so that they join perfectly. More…
That's also the reason that this has become my most expensive font so far, but I think the price is fair for the incredible amount of work I put into the script. I really need a break from scripts now!
Yours very exhausted Gert Wiescher.

If your partner complains that you snore during your sleep, or if you wake up in the morning feeling tired and grouchy, you may have a common sleep disorder called sleep apnea. This means that at night, your airway is blocked and you stop breathing during your sleep. If you have this condition, you need to find treatment right away to avoid further problems.
If you are unsure whether or not you have sleep apnea, consider setting up an audio or video recorder next to your bed. When you review the recording, watch or listen for choking, gasping or other signs that you are not getting enough air as you sleep. Present your findings to your doctor if you suspect that you do have apnea.
If you are over weight, going on a diet can reduce your sleep apnea, or in rare cases, eliminate it completely. Maintaining a healthy weight can help you breathe easier, so losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight when you have trouble breathing is an obvious step in treating your sleep apnea.
Improve your sleep apnea by slimming down a bit. Recent research showed dramatic improvements in overweight men who shed 25 pounds over a period of one year to reduce sleep apnea symptoms. In some cases, the weight loss resulted in a cure of sleep apnea where no further treatment of the condition was necessary.
Lose a bit of weight to get rid of your sleep apnea. Many people have corrected their apnea by losing weight. Even a few pounds can help your sleep apnea symptoms.
Attempt side sleeping. Many people with sleep apnea are used to sleeping on their backs. When you sleep on your back it can cause your throat and mouth tissues to impede your airways. Instead, you should sleep on your side and that can help your breathe much better. Put a pillow on your side if you always find yourself moving around during sleep.
Do not let sleep apnea ruin your relationship. If your partner has difficulties sleeping next to you because of your snoring or other symptoms linked to sleep apnea, communicate about the problem. be understanding and consider sleeping apart or getting a CPAP machine to reduce your snoring and other symptoms.
The most important aspect of dealing with sleep apnea is understanding exactly what it is. Unlike simple snoring, it is when a sleeper stop's breathing for a short period of time while he is sleeping. If your sleep partner tells you that sometimes you stop breathing, there is a good chance you have apnea.
If you are a trucker who has sleep apnea, take precautions to stay safe on the road. First of all, get yourself properly diagnosed and treated. If your doctor prescribes a CPAP, use it. They are small and easily portable and can run on battery power if necessary. Try to stay fit and get regular sleep to keep your condition under control.
Sleep apnea can cause many problems beyond just the inability to get a good night's sleep. If you let your condition go untreated, it may get worse over time. Getting enough sleep is crucial to your overall level of health, so start using the tips you have read in this article right away to find relief.

Last evening I listened to radio talks by the two Presidential nominees. And I decided that I had better do a little praying before I exercise my sovereign right and cast a vote. Perhaps all of us in our homes, our schools, our religious houses or our parish churches should do some special praying. Pastors might, it occurred to me, designate the Sunday before election day as one of prayer—steady, Mr. Blanshard!—not for the candidates of their choice, but for the voters. They might implore the Holy Ghost to guide all of us in choosing the man best fitted to lead our country in the present crisis.
This election is unlike any other in the span of my admittedly middle-aged memory. I don't know whom to vote for, and there seem to be a good many others in the same quandary. The independent voters, I think they call us. "Confused" would be a better word. And we have assumed a hopeful importance in the calculations of both parties. The problem is not acute in our State and local contests. Many of the nominees we know, or can find out about at first hand. Some have long records of political activity. But in the Presidential racel How can we know, with the issue so vast, the political scene so complex?
That the elections this year are of unusual importance, not only to our country but also to the whole world, is obvious. Added to this is the fact that seldom has it been more difficult for an open-minded voter to make a choice. We are presented with two men who are, you might say, surprise candidates. Both have apparent personal integrity; both are men of high caliber.
Our confusion increases when we observe the fact that party lines aren't what they used to be. Ructions within and agreements without the parties have caused the lines to sag considerably. On many issues, the two candidates seem to be in accord. As for the weaknesses within—many of us followed the national conventions on radio and TV. It was often a far from pretty sight. The old party lines are suffering, too, because our young people think for themselves more than we of the "golden 'twenties" did. A poll-taker who came to our door the other day expressed amazement at the number of potential voters who now class themselves as independent.
I almost envy those complacent souls who know—the experts in political science, the commentators and pundits, the inevitable hordes who have something to gain personally. But I am a strictly run-of-tlie-mine voter. I follow the radio talks and discussions. I try to understand the analyses made by papers and magazines in whose judgment I have confidence. And I have nothing to gain from the victory of either side except the welfare of my country and the peace of the world.
There are thousands like me, the little people, the average citizens, each with his still, small vote. And the time when we could be swayed by campaign slogans and political hoopla is, fortunately, passing. Shrill screams of "I Like Ike" or "We Need Adlai Badly" seem pretty naive when we consider that we must choose one of these two to deal with the immense problems of infiation and corruption at home, Korea and Stalin abroad.
But while most of us find time to pray for the persons and things we deem important, we seldom remember to pray for those who are guiding our country. This was impressed upon me some years ago when Paul G. Hoffman was appointed director of the Economic Cooperation Administration. We in South Bend were very proud of this distinction conferred on one of our former residents. A friend said to me: "I'd like to do something for Mr. Hoffman, Kate. He doesn't know that I exist, but I feel as if I share a little bit in this honor, and as if I should help him a little with the terrific responsibility. I'm going to say an 'Our Father' and a 'Hail Mary' for him every day, that God may guide him in this work for peace." A small thing, and Mr. Hoffman never knew of it. But it probably helped. If all of us prayed for our men in government as often as we criticize them, that would help, too.
This voter, at least, has decided to offer Mass and Holy Communion on November 2, the Sunday before Election Day, for the guidance of us all. I looked up the Mass for that day and, by a happy chance, it is, liturgically speaking, most appropriate. The feast of All Souls will be commemorated on Monday, November 3; so Sunday is designated simply as the twenty-second after Pentecost. We shall still be in the season of the Holy Spirit.
Very aptly, the Gospel tells the incident of the coin of the tribute, of which Christ said: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." The Gradual of the Mass makes a good point, too. "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." And the Offertory could hardly be more fitting: "Remember me, O Lord, Thou who nilest above all power; and give a well-ordered speech in my mouth, that my words may be pleasing in the sight of the prince."
That my vote, we might paraphrase, may be pleasing in the sight of my country and of Thee.

Jan 21, 2014, 04:00 ET
She will accept CHF's top award at a dinner ceremony, the premier event of Heritage Day 2014 in Philadelphia.

Two days before our anniversary I received a tip from a chef friend that my local supermarket just got a shipment of super sweet Turkish figs. The next morning I rushed over to said supermarket and bought four packets. I love figs, but only if they're sweet and actually taste of figs. Often times even when they are ripe they have a watered down non-descript taste that won't excite anyone. These ones were very sweet, with intense fig flavors.
Hidemi Sugino has a fig tartlet that I have never been able to try, because I somehow always go to Tokyo when figs are most definitely not in season, like in the dead of winter. So naturally the first thing that popped into my head was to make the fig tartlets. As far as Hidemi Sugino recipes go, this is one of the easiest ones, all you have to do is to find good figs. For the first time, I'll share his recipe on my blog with you guys, because it's not too long to translate. You'll need to either know or look up some of the basic techniques, since I'm too lazy to type it out, but it should be fairly easy to google and find out. So here it goes.
Tartelette aux figues (makes 12x 7cm tartlets)
Pate sucree:
90g unsalted butter at RT
60g icing sugar
30g whole egg
20g almond powder
150g light flower
crème patissiere:
250g milk
55g caster sugar
¼ vanilla bean
50g egg yolk
12g light flour
12g corn starch
Crème d'amandes
40g unsalted butter at RT
40g icing sugar
40g whole egg
40g almond powder
6 large figs
30B syrup (130g sugar +100g water)
crème Chantilly
Apricot jam
Raspberry jam
2. Make crème patissiere and chill in fridge (steps 1 & 2 can be done the day before)
3. Roll dough out and fit into tartlet pans, rest in fridge while making crème frangipane
4. Make crème frangipane by whisking together crème d'amandes and crème patissiere
5. Take tartlet shells out of fridge, use another tartlet pan to press dough down, then prick with a fork a few times.
6. Pipe about 25g of crème frangipane into each tartlet pan and let rest in fridge for 30 minutes
7. Meanwhile, slice each fig into 16 slices, removing skin only after you've sliced them, one slice at a time. This took me almost an hour, but it results in neater outside edges, so it's worth it.
8. Arrange slices on a tray and sprinkle granule sugar on it (how much sugar depends on how sweet your figs are), then sprinkle with kirsch. Chill in fridge for 30 min
9. Bake tartlets at 170C for about 15-20 minutes, until crème frangipane is a dark golden brown
10. Remove tartlets from pans and cool.
11. Whip up crème Chantilly to very stiff peak. You'll need about 20g for each tartlet
12. Mix together 20g of 30B syrup, 10g water and 12g kirsch. Brush onto top of tartlet, let syrup soak in
13. Spread a layer of raspberry jam onto the baked tartlet, then pipe a mound of Chantilly on top.
14. Arrange 8 slices of figs in an overlapping pattern onto each tartlet
15. Heat 50g apricot jam and 10g kirsch in a small saucepan until fluid. Brush onto cut surfaces of figs
16. Top each tartlet with a raspberry and you're done!
We had some of this for dessert the day before our anniversary and gave some away to friends when hubby went to play tennis with them, but our real celebration was the dinner at chef Andre Chiang's eponymous restaurant Andre. I liked his cooking when he was helming Jaan at the top of Swissotel, but somehow never got around to trying his own place since he opened it about a year ago. I made the booking more than a month ago because it is F1 week in Singapore and it never hurts to be prepared.
The front of the restaurant was so inconspicuous that I missed it the first time and had to double back and drive down a short stretch the wrong way to get back. Good thing Sunday night traffic is light in this part of the town. The restaurant has the feel of a house. Off to the side on the first floor is a small sitting area, but we were led to the second floor dining room. The space has the clean modern feel of a French house. One side of the wall has black and white wall papers of a little forest, and sheep clad in suede are used as bag stools.
Hubby chose the wine pairing, as it is too tiring to try to pick out wines that will go with most of the eight-course meal, especially since I don't drink. I notice most other guests opt for this lazy option as well.
Before we start we were treated to a quartet of palate cleansers: "fish and chips", "popcorn", some silvery fish slices on a crisp cracker served with porcini chips and Andre's signature chicken skin chips.
The first course is Pure, which was scallop ravioli, chives& dill flower in purple cauliflower consume. Very little seasoning was used and the fragrance of the dill flowers ties everything together nicely.
Next came Salt: French oyster wrapped in Japanese seaweed, served granny smith foam. The dish was decorated with tiny cubes of cucumbers and apples. No salt was added, only the saltiness from the oyster provided seasoning.
The third course was Artisan - Kyoto eggplant topped with caviar, served with a savory crème Anglaise sauce sprinkled with hazelnut shavings and fried burdock roots (gobou). The savory crème Anglaise was a nice twist and the fried gobou brought a nice contrast to an otherwise creamy dish. To top it all off, the dish on which this course was served is designed by chef Andre.
The next course is named South and pays homage to chef Andre's time spent in the south of France, close to the Mediterranean . It consists of flounder with tomato & white peaches, and tomato sorbet in one dish. Uni risotto and blue crab foam in a second dish. The risotto was probably one of the best I've ever tasted, done to perfection with just the right amount of bite to it and is perfectly flavoured with the uni sauce.
Texture came next and is squid "arborio rice" with charcoal rice crackers. The "rice" is actually squid and tasted much better than my chicken substitute. I usually don't like squid because of the chewy texture, but here the texture is completely changed, and I find myself wishing I had stuck to the original dish.
The sixth course is Unique, and here the unique ingredient is French artichoke. The dish was stuffed baby barracuda, French artichoke and artichoke foam. To be perfectly honest I felt that the artichoke was rather tasteless on its own, however the sauce was so robust and the stuffed baby barracuda so tender that they saved the dish. I just felt that to be THE unique ingredient in the "unique" course, the artichoke should've taken a more front row seat.
The next course was "memory" and it was a dish that Andre has always kept on his menu, with different variations. Tonight it's a baked foie gras jelly with black truffle glaze. The "jelly" contains egg white and has the silky consistency of a well-executed chawanmushi, and the black truffle glaze was so fragrant that even later, when the next table had the dish we could smell it. Although hubby thought it was a great dish and I loved it too at first, ultimately I felt that either the portion was too big, or it needed an accompaniment to cut down on the richness, like a champagne jelly or something similar.
Before dessert, we cleansed our palate with mini marshmallow, strawberry granita & yogurt jelly in a cute little pot. Dessert was chocolate sponge, which really looked like a piece of sponge; soft chocolate sphere filled with warm chocolate ganache, and burned butter ice cream. I've always found restaurant desserts boring and this was no exception. I think it was my least favourite course of the entire evening, but I guess nobody is perfect.
When my latte came the waitress apologetically said something about "please be careful, the cup is designed by chef Andre and the shape is a little strange" and indeed it was. The cup was more of an irregular rectangle rather than a round, and hubby immediately commented that he could've made one just like that. It wasn't until I picked it up that I realized the bottom was not flat. Good thing I didn't try to set it down on the table!
We rounded off our meal with some French figs, popcorns that "pop" in your mouth, passion fruit marshmallow and honey hazelnut Madeline. All in all, it was a very memorable meal. I've heard mixed reviews about Andre but we felt this was the most exciting meal we've had in Singapore in years. I think chef Andre is a creative genius and is really setting new standards for all restaurants in our little dot on the map. So hats off to him!

Panisse completed the 5,000-meter course at Sunken Meadow State Park on Long Island with a time of 18:29, good for seventh place. The top ten girls and boys finishers will head to San Diego to compete against runners from all over the country.
The race wasn't a cakewalk for the Bellerose resident. Competing against the top runners on the East Coast, Panisse sprained her ankle climbing a hill in the first mile and had to push through the pain to finish.
Panisse became the first female runner from New York City to qualify for the Foot Locker Championship, which began in 1993. The last city runner to qualify for a national championship was Hunter's Nnenna Lynch, who qualified for the Kinney Championship in 1988.
Angel Piccirillo of Homer City, Pa., won the Northeast Regional with a time of 18:01, the third fastest time for a female runner in the history of the course. Laura Leff of Syracuse, N.Y., was in the lead at the one-mile mark, but at approximately two miles, Piccirillo and Abbey Leonardi of Kennebunkport, Maine, caught up to Leff to pass her soon thereafter.
Leonardi and Piccirillo ran together until the last 50 meters, when Piccirillo surged ahead to capture the title.
Edward Cheserek of Newark, N.J., won on the boys side. He broke the course record with a time of 15:20. The previous course record of 15:42 was held by Chad Noelle of Greene, N.Y.
For the first mile of the race, a pack of runners remained together until Cheserek made his move, claiming the title 25 seconds ahead of Daniel Lennon, a senior at Peru Central High School, who finished second in 15:45.

Pope's Vatican watchdog on abuse: Wrong priest for the job
Boston Globe Editorials December 2, 2014
Why put a priest who covered up sexual abuse in charge of policing it? That's exactly what Pope Francis did when he appointed the Rev. Robert J. Geisinger as the Vatican's "promoter of justice."

50 State AG Call for Grand Jury
Write a letter to the attorney general of your state. Demand, request, and beg them to impanel a grand jury.
Any investigation must be:
- independent of and separate from the church
- must have subpoena powers and ability to compel testimony under oath
Anything short of these criteria is a sham and whitewash.
In addition, write letters to the editor, make phone calls to politicians as they can apply pressure to keep them responsive to our demand. We need to make efforts to ensure that they follow up on what the state is doing to investigate these crimes.
The Attorneys General of forty states have inquired about the grand jury process in Pennsylvania. Let's get statewide investigations going in fifty states.
Check here for an up-to-date list of active investigations as well as the associated hotlines, websites, and email addresses that survivors can use to report their experiences.
Note to Letter Writers
Use your own words and style of writing. Cut and paste from the templates as you wish. Include your experiences, whether as a survivor or as a member of the community. And relate your letter to the state you were abused in or state now living in.

OXFORD, Miss. (Dec. 14, 2012) – Senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) will return to action for the first time this season, as the ETSU men's basketball team will end its current three-game road swing with a trip to Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi Friday evening.
Tip inside the Tad Smith Coliseum is set for 8 p.m. (EST).
Jones, who was academically ineligible for the team's first seven games of the season, is a welcomed addition to a Buccaneers' roster which has been decimated by injuries and dismissals. A talented outside shooter and scorer, Jones' return is even more critical considering the Bucs have had to play the last two games without the services of freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.).
While he's not played the position regularly, Jones has been a serviceable point guard for the program in the past.
For more on Friday night's game, read the game notes located below or click on the game notebook link to the right. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team will enter the new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season. The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones has missed the first seven games of the year for academic reasons ... Jones will return against Ole Miss ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU will be looking to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) are expected to increase their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) will look to blossom into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton will need help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville). While they may have plenty of questions entering the season, the Bucs' schedule will not provide much patience for development. The team will face teams such as North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss and Georgia in the opening weeks of the season, and will host 2011 Final Four participant VCU (Jan. 2) just days before the start of the Atlantic Sun Conference slate. The team will also enjoy a Christmas holiday trip to the Diamond Head Classic and face Arizona in the first round of that event on Dec. 22.
Last time out
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Dec. 8, 2012) – Depleted by injuries and disappointing circumstances from earlier this season, the ETSU men's basketball team is currently a shell of its normal self. That's not a good thing when facing No. 20 North Carolina. ... Shooting just 19 percent from the floor in the first half and scoring only 12 points before the break, the Buccaneers trailed by 30 at halftime and were simply no match for perennial powerhouse UNC in a 78-55 defeat Saturday evening inside the Dean E. Smith Center. ...
On the bright side, the Bucs got a game-high 18 points from sophomore Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.), while redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) posted his first career double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Meanwhile, junior Hunter Harris (Nashville) netted 11 points. ... For the Tar Heels – who posted 30 assists on 31 made shots for the game – Leslie McDonald led the way with 14 points, while Brice Johnson and Reggie Bullock scored 12 and 10 points, respectively. ... In the first half, ETSU actually led 2-0 on a layup by Harris, and the Bucs' defense was looking good, holding the Tar Heels' offense in check for the most part. However, at that point ETSU's offense went ice cold, and as the Bucs' shooting suffered UNC hit its stride. ... The Tar Heels went on a dominating 34-2 run and led by as many as 32 in the first half. ... The second half got off to a better offensive start for ETSU, and the Bucs actually finished the final 20 minutes outscoring the Tar Heels, 43-36.
The series versus Ole Miss
The Bucs have played the Rebels 13 times, with Mississippi holding an 8-5 edge in the tightly contested series ... ETSU dropped the last matchup 71-50 back on Dec. 18, 2010 in Oxford ... The Bucs last win in the series came back in 1985, a 70-64 victory at home in overtime.
Last time against Ole Miss
OXFORD, Miss. (Dec. 18, 2010) - A 13-0 run to open the game and another 9-0 offensive burst at the end of the first half were the difference Saturday afternoon inside the Tad Smith Coliseum, as the Ole Miss Rebels dropped the ETSU Buccaneers 71-50 in non-conference basketball action. ... The game started poorly for the Bucs, as the Rebels hit three of their first five 3-point attempts and opened the game with a 13-0 run over the first eight minutes. Meanwhile, in that same time frame, the Bucs were dismal, going 0-of-8 from the field and committing six turnovers. ... ETSU woke up in a big way though, as senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finally got the Bucs on the board with a three-point play at the 12:21 mark, and that sparked an 8-0 run to make it 13-8 with just over 12 minutes left before the break. The Bucs got to within five points on three different occasions in the half and trailed just 31-26 after back-to-back 3-pointers from senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.). However, at that point the Rebels closed the first half with their 9-0 run to make it 40-26 at the break. ... The Bucs' offense opened the second half poorly once again, scoring just eight points over the first eight minutes and allowing the Rebels to build their lead to as many as 21 points. ETSU never got closer than 14 after the break.
Bartow atop list of second generation coaches
Murry Bartow's coaching lineage is undeniable ... As the son of the late Gene Bartow, he had the fortunate opportunity to grow up learning from one of the most successful basketball coaches in college history ... Setting off on his own career, Bartow has carried on the family tradition of success ... His 61 percent winning percentage at ETSU makes him the winningest Buccaneers' head coach by percentage, and his 181 wins at ETSU ranks second on the Bucs' all-time list ... In addition, Bartow's 284 career victories ranks No. 1 among second generation college coaches ... Along with his father's 647 career wins, the Bartow men have combined for 931 victories, ranking fourth on the all-time win list for Father/Son coaches.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is currently the nation's top freshman scorer and is averaging 19.7 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Currently the Atlantic Sun Conference's leading scorer, Wilson has posted four 20-plus point games so far this season. Of those contests, he scored a career high 27 points in the win over Milligan back on Nov. 29, after scoring 26 in the Bucs' previous win over Charleston Southern on Nov. 20.
Bucs get defensive in win at Charleston Southern
In their win against Charleston Southern, the Buccaneers held its opponent to just 28.8 percent shooting from the floor ... It was the first time since Feb. 26, 2009 that the Bucs have kept a team under 30 percent shooting in a game ... In that 2009 contest, ETSU held Kennesaw State to just 26.3 percent shooting from the floor.
Talented Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has eight players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, of that group there is only four total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Bucs not feeling charitable at the line
In a strange statistical anomaly, the Buccaneers did not have a free throw made against them in back-to-back games, and in fact, they did not even allow a team a free throw opportunity in their game against Milligan … Against Georgia, the Bulldogs were 0-for-1 at the charity stripe … Meanwhile, Milligan did not even attempt a free throw against the Bucs on Nov. 29 … Going back to the 1984 season, this was the first time no team has made a free throw against the Bucs, much less in back-to-back games.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 772 consecutive games. ... In that game back on Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs were 0-for-8 in a loss to Davidson.
Junior college transfers set to power Bucs' inside game
With the signing of junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville), the Bucs are hoping to have added some strength -- and beef -- to their inside game this season ... At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Gadsden-Gilliard is a rare combination of size and agility, while Harris is a high energy player who can rebound and block shots at a high level ... With the loss of senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) for the season due to a foot injury, the expectations for Harris and KGG have only risen. ... In the win over Charleston Southern, KGG and Harris combined for 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Walton on his way up the depth chart
After playing limited minutes a year ago, forward John Walton (Memphis) has been impressing the ETSU coaching staff during the preseason and through the first five games of the 2012-13 campaign ... After hinting that Walton would demand more playing time this year, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has started the 6-foot-7 sophomore in the Bucs' first two games this season ... at Virginia Tech, Walton responded with career highs for points (8), rebounds (5) and minutes played (30), and then bested or matched those marks with another eight points and eight rebounds in the win over Charleston Southern ... He set new career marks for points (15), rebounds (9) and minutes (30) in the win over Milligan (11/29).
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.

John Force takes Funny Car points lead
MOHNTON, Pa. (AP) — John Force took the Funny Car points lead Saturday at Maple Grove Raceway, topping qualifying in the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals.
The 15-time world champion moved into the points lead for the first time this season when his time of 3.987 seconds at 323.50 mph from Friday held up through two qualifying sessions Saturday. The 64-year-old Force, coming off a victory last week in Madison, Ill., will race Jeff Arend in the first round of eliminations.
″(Crew chief) Jimmy Prock swings for the fence and the guys are really working hard," Force said. "I've got a good race car right now and what was exciting to me was to see the fans in the stands. It sure feels good to be running well. I struggled as a driver earlier in the year and my guys stayed by me."
Morgan Lucas led the Top Fuel field, Jason Line topped Pro Stock qualifying, and Michael Ray was fastest in Pro Stock Motorcycle in the fourth of six playoff races in the Countdown to the Championship.
Lucas had a 3.772 at 314.90, and Line finished in 6.573 at 210.70. Ray's 6.857 at 193.38 on Friday held up.

Surfing's up
But thanks to the explosion of wireless Internet technology, Vanluven has had an easier time keeping up with his correspondence than he used to.
"It's a great advantage to be able to get Internet access pretty much anywhere," Vanluven, 34, of Syracuse, N.Y., said at Borders Books in Danbury.
That's a sentiment shared by people across the country who surf the Net on their laptops using "wi-fi," high-speed Internet access transmitted through the air.
Wi-fi, short for wireless fidelity, allows computer users to access a fast Internet connection completely wirelessly though a card inside their laptops. Those wireless signals are offered though "hotspots," or a central location where the signals are being transmitted. The wi-fi signal is sent from a small base station, which usually costs under $200 and is equipped with an antenna. Anyone within 150 feet of the base station can hook into the signal - sometimes for free, but usually for a price.
Borders and Starbucks, both on Federal Road, offer wi-fi hotspots for Internet users on the run. A second Starbucks location in Danbury on Mill Plain Road also offers wireless Internet access.
Both Borders and Starbucks have Internet access provided by T-Mobile , which offers a pay-as-you-go plan. There are three plans offered through T-Mobile: an hourly charge of $6, a daily charge of $9.99, and a monthly pass for $29.99.
When someone with a wi-fi card installed in his laptop sits within range of a wireless station, it automatically detects the Internet signal. The computer user can then enter his credit card information and surf the Web without wires.
Ivan Sarac of Carmel, N.Y., a 21-year-old shift supervisor for the Starbucks on Federal Road, finds that the wireless Internet access is becoming increasingly popular there.
"A lot of times during the day here, every table will have a laptop on it," Sarac said.
"You can sit down, have a cup of coffee, and go on the Internet. There's not a lot of places where you can do that."
These days, it's much more difficult to find a new laptop without a wi-fi card than with it. Most new laptops sold in the United States have wi-fi capability, allowing more and more people to take advantage of a hotspot.
"I even use it myself," Sarac said. "I have it installed on my computer, and it lets me do some schoolwork here without having to go all the way back home."
Alex Kim , a 32-year-old from Brookfield, uses wi-fi at his local Starbucks for at least three hours a day.
"It's very convenient," Kim said. "I can get away from the television and the phone and get a lot of work done."
For Kim, the best part of using the wi-fi at Starbucks is being free from the distractions of his home.
"I can get a lot of research done without being interrupted," he said. "And I can do it with a nice cup of coffee, too."
Coffee shops aren't the only places offering wi-fi. Most airports offer wireless Internet access through hotspots in their terminals. One airline company, Jet Blue Airways , offers wi-fi access to customers in some of their terminals for free.
Even McDonald's is getting in on the wi-fi boom. Several McDonald's locations in Danbury, like the restaurants located on North Street, Lake Avenue, Federal Road, and the Danbury Fair mall, offer pay-as-you-go wi-fi access.
"It's been a little slow going initially, but using wi-fi at McDonald's is becoming more and more popular," said Joe Lipson , a supervisor for Trefz Family Restaurants , which owns a number of McDonald's franchises in Danbury.
Lipson believes that there's a huge demand for anyone who uses the Internet - from college students to business people - to be able to access the Internet wherever they are.
"We're always striving for more services for our customers," he said. "Anything we can offer to make their experience more enjoyable, we'll try to do."
Like McDonald's, many businesses are making offering wireless Internet a growing priority.
"We want to make Borders an environment in which people plan to come to," said Toni LaClair , an inventory manager at Borders in Danbury. "People can come and utilize our resources here and do research instead of being at home by themselves.
"It's helped make Borders a destination for people, where our customers consciously decide to spend time with us," she said. "I think people are very much stimulated by the environment here."
Molten Java in Bethel offers free wi-fi access.
"Practically every day people come in and use our wi-fi," said Kristen Weinkauf , an assistant manager. "We definitely have a few regulars who check their e-mail every morning on the way to work."
Most customers who use wi-fi agree free wireless Internet needs to become the norm.
"Frankly, to have to enter in your credit card and personal information every time you want to go online is a pain in the neck," Vanluven said. "I look forward to the day when wi-fi is free, and available everywhere."

TROY, N.Y. - The New York-Penn League has released the 2008 New York-Penn League All-Star rosters for the American and National League affiliates. The All-Star rosters are comprised of 56 players from the 14 teams in the league.
The two teams will be broken down into National League and American League affiliations. The American League All-Star team will be managed by the Staten Island coaching staff, led by manager Pat McMahon. Darrin Everson and his coaching staff from the Jamestown Jammers will manage the National League All-Star team.
Former Lipscomb baseball player Caleb Joseph has been named to the American League team. He was selected as a catcher.
Joseph is batting .290 with 5 home runs for the Aberdeen Ironbirds, Class A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. He was drafted in the 7th round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft in June.
"National Grid is proud to be a sponsor of this year's New York-Penn League All-Star game," said William Flaherty, Energy Solutions Regional Director for National Grid. "This is a great opportunity to see some of the best players in the New York-Penn League play baseball. Bringing this game to 'The Joe' and the home of the Valley Cats is great opportunity for the community and National Grid."
This season, fans were able to vote for their favorite New York-Penn Leaguers at www.allstarchoice.com, an online fan ballot. Leading all vote getters was Robbie Alcombrack, a catcher from the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. "We always take the fans view into perspective because they see some things that we do not," said Ben Hayes, New York-Penn League President. Alcombrack, a seventh round selection in the 2006 draft, will be honored during the All-Star Festivities as CSEA's All-Star Choice.com Fan's Choice recipient.
The 2008 New York-Penn League All-Star Game will be held at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium on Tuesday, August 19. It is the fourth All-Star Game in league history and is the first professional baseball All-Star Game to be held in New York's Capital Region.
