Harper Woods City Hall, fire, police departments don't have power
Harper Woods City Hall and it's fire and police departments don't have power.
Chief of Police Jim Burke said Tuesday morning that City Hall would be closed for the day and the 911 calls were being transferred to the Grosse Pointe Woods Police Department. He didn't know when power would be restored.
DTE Energy Co. says roughly 56,000 of its 2.1 million customers were without power early Tuesday. CMS Energy Corp.'s Consumers Energy unit reported about 9,000 of its 1.8 million Michigan customers were out Tuesday morning.

Arguably, the most important part of your Empire will be your Military, so it warrants some basic discussion here. If you want more details on how the combat system itself works, visit this page. Idle Population can sometimes present the biggest obstacle for training your troops. Your Idle Population = Current Population - laborers - troops currently in training. If your Idle Population is 0, you cannot train any new troops. However, it is important to note that Idle Population replenishes itself. Every time a group of troops is finished training, the Idle Population returns to you. After you have the troops to begin attacking other players for gold, I suggest dropping and leaving the tax rate at 0%, so you can use your full idle population for training. Troops For detailed information about troops, visit the Troops page. For information of how they work together during battles, visit the Battle page. The Breakdown This is a general guide as to how to get your city from 0 to 1 million power as quickly as possible, i.e., roughly three-to-four weeks of dedicated game play. Keep in mind that you should be researching, building, and training concurrently! In order to get built up quickly, you must ALWAYS have things upgrading! JOIN A HELPFUL ALLIANCE IMMEDIATELY! If yours cannot answer your questions and assist in some way with resources, leave them and join another...it will only go downhill from there. Make sure you are accepting the Quest rewards as they are completed; this resource boost will really help you early on. Just don't put too much effort into completing the quests as they pop up. If you complete one (even if it is not shown on the list), the button at the top will show you it as completed. Buildings Get 1 Farm, 3 Quarries, 3 Mines, and 3 Lumbermills to level 5 ASAP. Build 4-6 Homes to level 5 ASAP. You will not be able to do all this at once due to lack of resources; continue as you can. As resources become available, build your main City buildings, including a Storage Vault. I recommend not building a theater. If you don't like the vault...it can be destroyed later. You should build your Science Center first, so you can begin researching. Next, you will fill the remaining slots in your city with garrisons. There should be fourteen total. L1 garrison to L6 as resources become available; you will be able to train ATs soon. Upgrade buildings as needed to in order to research and train specific troops.

Europe's fishing grounds were once among the world's most productive, but 40 years of mismanagement under the European Union's Common Fisheries Policy, or CFP, led to serious depletion of fish populations and degradation of the ecosystem. Europe's fishing became unsustainable, increasingly unprofitable and overly reliant on public subsidies. This has led to a decline in the economic viability of numerous coastal communities, the transfer of Europe's overcapacity (too many ships for the number of fish left) to developing countries' waters and the high seas, and an ever-growing reliance on imported fish.
In 2009, The Pew Charitable Trusts and its partners, the Coalition for Fair Fisheries Arrangements, Fisheries Secretariat, the new economics foundation and Seas At Risk, launched the OCEAN2012 coalition to support fundamental reform of the CFP. Since then the coalition has swelled from its original five groups to 192, representing 24 EU member states, and including fishermen's organisations, leading marine scientists, development agencies, environmental non-governmental organisations, aquaria, and others that share an interest in sustainable fisheries.
After more than four and a half years of concerted advocacy and public education by OCEAN2012 and other large NGOs, and fuelled by a groundswell of public support, European legislators took a huge step in May 2013 toward sustainable fisheries management. They set a target to end EU overfishing by 2015 where possible, and by 2020 at the latest. Finally adopted in December 2013, the deal which was brokered between the European Parliament, the European Commission, and all 28 EU member states, also seeks to greatly decrease the discarding of bycatch, a practice where tonnes of dead or dying fish are wastefully thrown back into the sea every year. In January 2014, a political deal was agreed by the European Parliament and the Council on EU subsidies that should help end overfishing.
The OCEAN2012 coalition has worked consistently over the years to end environmentally harmful subsidies to the EU fisheries sector and to reduce excess fishing capacity. As part of this effort, The Pew Charitable Trusts has supported FishSubsidy.org, a project that seeks to reveal how and where EU fisheries subsidies are spent.

text: McDonnell Supporters Not Donating to Legal Defense Fund Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 23 Jan 2014 post a comment Virginians--especially lawmakers--are not putting their money where their mouths are when it comes to donating to former Virginia Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's legal defense fund. As of Wednesday morning, McDonnell's legal defense fund has about $2,996 in contributions from 35 donors. The donations range from $1 to $1,000 and are insufficient to cover his lawyer fees for even a day. The Restoration Fund declared that it is dedicated to "Preserving Governor McDonnell's Legacy" and was reportedly "established in July to bankroll the governor's legal team," according to The Washington Post. On Tuesday, McDonnell and his wife were indicted on 14 felony counts related to public corruption. McDonnell claimed he did nothing illegal, but he and his wife face maximum prison sentences of 80 years if convicted on all the charges, in addition to at least $1.25 million in fines. The fund sent out an e-mail after McDonnell's indictment on Tuesday that said, "Earlier this evening Governor Bob McDonnell held an open press event to provide his first public remarks regarding today's wrongful federal indictment against a man who has served his nation and the Commonwealth with distinction for his entire adult life." As the Post notes, Republican politicians in Virginia expressed that they deemed the case to be "a little bit of an overreach by the federal government" and that they did not "see the criminal act at this point." But Virginia State Sen. Charles J. Colgan, Sr. (D-Prince William), reflecting the sentiment of nearly all the lawmakers, may have said it best when he said he had just not gotten around to donating to the fund. "I was going to give him something," he said. After a judge denied a request from McDonnell's lawyers to delay his arraignment because one of his lawyers was out of the country, McDonnell will appear in federal court in Richmond and be arraigned Friday.

What does halibut taste like?
- fldhkybnva Mar 17, 2013 10:37 AM
I am quite the fish fanatic but have never had halibut. I eat fish so frequently that my interest in my old favorites is nearly saturated. I eat quite a variety including tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish so I have been eye-ing the supply at my local fishmonger to branch out and try some new species. Halibut caught my eye today, but I've never had it. What does it taste like? Is it similar to other whitefish like cod?
The flavor is closer to cod than to the others, certainly. It has a more interesting texture, IMO, being quite a bit firmer. A very versatile fish, one of my favorites.
re: CocoaChanel
Is there something in particular that you don't like about cod? Just out of curiosity.
I don't want to freak you out, but you want to try to limit your swordfish and fresh tuna consumption because they are high in mercury. I love swordfish, but I only eat it a few times a year.
Check this out...
re: Philly Ray
Thanks, I am a physician and it's actually a running joke at work on when I'll get tingling fingers and toes from mercury. For some reason, I accept the risk although I might not feel the same about early-onset dementia. However, I do try to space it out which is why I'm asking about other types of fish because I tell myself to fight the swordfish craving for risk of too many walloping doses of heavy metals.
re: fldhkybnva
No joke. I have a friend whose father is a physician, and he ate a tuna salad sandwich every day from the cafeteria at his hospital. In his late 60s, his hands started shaking, and he determined that it was mercury poisoning. I eat tuna rarely, and swordfish never (anymore), but I think halibut is more like sword. At its best, it will melt in your mouth.
re: sciencediet
Wow, I'm in trouble!
re: fldhkybnva
In a way, yes you are.
I know you're starting to branch out to other fish, but please do KEEP AT IT. To the point where you're NOT eating Tuna &/or Swordfish every single week. There are dozens & dozens of other seafood choices to choose from.
re: sciencediet
Halibut isn't even remotely close to Swordfish in any way, shape, form, or taste.
re: sciencediet
Halibut is a bottom feeder and is on the "moderate" mercury list, which is 6 or less servings per month.
re: linguafood
And here's a good recipe assuming you liked asian spiced food.
re: linguafood
Of course that's always a solution, but rather not spend good money on something I know nothing about. It seems since I like cod that it'd fit right in so I guess I feel more comfortable buying it. Also, I have an annoying habit of being really angry if I cook something that just doesn't taste good which as a creature of habit doesn't happen much :)
re: fldhkybnva
It is pretty expensive to just experiment with it as an unfamiliar ingredient, I'll admit.
But ya know.... YOLO, man. Carpe diem and all that jazz.
re: fldhkybnva
I think you'll like it if you like cod. Try it in a simple preparation first, and next time try it in a curry sauce.
It tastes like halibut.
It's sort of like asking what does beef taste like, or what does salmon taste like.
A good piece of beef or fish will just taste like itself. The taste is part and parcel the quiddity of what makes a particular food item unique -- esp. with things like fish and meats.
re: ipsedixit
And fruits and vegetables.
re: ipsedixit
A lot of times when I'm out eating crawfish people ask what it tastes like. I politely tell them it tastes like crawfish.
re: ipsedixit
re: fldhkybnva
Yes, I find adjectives quite useful for describing things. ;)
re: ipsedixit
Yes, but don't you agree that frogs' legs taste like chicken?
re: Kat
I was the TJ mentioner. Last week I noticed that mine had no fresh frozen halibut but still had the house-branded battered halibut fillets. I look for halibut only sporadically (my favorite fish but spendy) so don't know if they were just temporarily out of stock or have stopped carrying it.
I suggest the OP try the battered halibut. It's quite good. Or order it in a restaurant. It's a good idea to try a new food in prepared version first, rather than cooking something when you have no idea what the desired finished texture is. I agree that it is firm. There is a bit of a directional grain to it, though not the long strands of, say, chicken breast. The mouth feel is closer to chicken breast than cod.
It's a flatfish. If you've had sole or flounder, halibut shares some of the same flavor characteristics but with denser, meatier flesh and not quite as sweet. It has less gelatin than cod, so not as smooth and soft-ish.
It is firmer and sweeter than cod. A good fishmonger can cut you a small 4 ounce piece so that you can try it. It is one of my favorite fish.
re: kseiverd
Yes, halibut is huge (100 to 500 lbs apiece), especially the ones from Alaska. The ones off the California coast tend to be smaller. Halibut steaks are quite delicious grilled, but bear in mind that it is leaner than cod, salmon or swordfish. But the best part is the cheek.
re: kseiverd
>>>Seem to remember Sarah Palin and daugher CLUBBING tem as they were hauled into a fishing boat on some program<<<
What does Sarah Palin have to do with the question regarding what "tem" (sic) halibut tastes like, kseiverd?
>>>Not something you'd be very successful grilling<<<
And why would you conclude the OP would not be very successful grilling halibut? I know many people that grill it with excellent results and I suspect the OP can as well.
Halibut is sweet, mild, and firm. It is so delicious that I think it's best very simply prepared, just pan fried and perhaps with a squeeze of lemon.
My whole foods has already advertised that it will have fresh, wild Alaskan Halibut from Good Friday thru Easter weekend-- it's on my calendar. Might be a good time to give it a try if you have a whole foods near you offering that same deal!
PS how do you pronounce your name?
re: ohmyyum
Indeed, that's where I saw it. There is no real pronunciation - it is a combinaiton of the words field hockey in Virginia which was an ancient AOL screenname I created when I was literally 10 years old and have just stuck with it.
re: fldhkybnva
I was wondering the same thing!
I'm not wild about the flavor at all. It's just too mild for my taste. I prefer something with a more fish taste, like speckled trout or wild redfish, caught by me.
It's a mild white fish, and I agree with others that it's closer to cod than much anything else in most respects. If you could imagine a cross between cod and monkfish (thoroughly de-membraned), you'd be even closer to the mark.
Halibut can justly be accused of being too mild, if you're one who favors fish like swordfish, shark or tuna, to say nothing of the even stronger oilier types like salmon and mackerel. But I find halibut to be an ideal canvas for all kinds of flavors, and were it not invariably at least three times the price of cod, I'd always prefer it to cod for any application.
re: Bada Bing
Yea, I worried that I wouldn't like cod given that I like the more flavorful varieties, but the subtlety is quite nice.
re: ipsedixit
Wait what?! Please elaborate. I think.
re: ohmyyum
I thought this was common knowledge, no?
See here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/2874... and http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/563738 amongst many many others.
re: ipsedixit
Yup! I love swordfish and cod and they are also known for worms. I just don't look as I prep and pray that it won't ruin my appetite.
re: fldhkybnva
Thank the Gods that you're a sensible gal!! Parasites prevail in ALL seafood (& in other proteins as well). Don't let the fearmongers scare you away from seafood!!!! Growing up on the Long Island, NY, waterfront, we caught our own seafood all the time, & purchased it from the local boats. Did we find worms while fileting/cleaning? Of course!! Did it keep us from eating our catch/purchases? NEVER!
It's common knowledge (well - amongst those who take the time to reseach from reputable sources) that any parasites common in seafood (which are normally present & aren't a sign of poor seafood) are killed at normal cooking temps. As for sushi/sashimi - fish sold for that purpose are required by law to be frozen at sub-zero temps for a minimum of 48 hours in order to kill any parasites.
Keep up trying different types of fish outside of your favorite Tuna & Swordfish (which aren't parasite-free either - lol!).
re: Bacardi1
I accept the parasites as I am aware that they are not pathogenic if the food is cooked properly, just don't want to see them really.
re: Bacardi1
I know of a guy who thought walleye sushi was a good idea.
It wasn't. I'll skip most of the story, but some weeks later he discovered he had a rather large tapeworm. He got some medicine and later discovered that dead tapeworm flatulence is not pleasant.
re: John E.
Yes - solely freshwater fish (outside of some "sweet" shrimp) are rarely if ever used as sushi ingredients unless cooked first (like eel).
Freshwater fish not only have a higher incidence of parasites, but have a higher incidence of parasites that are very compatible with the human body as a host.
re: fldhkybnva
Bonus protein! No need to look, of course.
re: ipsedixit
Ugh, seriously? I started buying more halibut after encountering some wormy cod that skeeved me out. I have been trying to convince myself that halibut is immune. Guess I'll have to pair it with some waspy figs in the future. Sometimes I really hate this site!
re: Isolda
Please see my reply to the OP above. DON'T be skeeved out by worms in fish. They're there even if you don't see them. And harmless when prepared the way humans have been preparing fish for thousands of years.
re: Bacardi1
Couldn't agree more. Certain types of fish require more scrutiny when prepared raw but over all most common cooking methods more than take care of any parasitic problems.
Much will depend on the prep, but have you ever had flounder? If so, then you have eaten a "second cousin." Now, sole (most types), have more differences, IMHO, than do flounders.
I find the meat to be slightly sweet, not at all "fishy," but not so "fish-heavy," as many other species. When prepared well (most often in my experiences), it is a lovely fish.
Good luck,
re: Bill Hunt
I have had sole but not flounder. Thanks, hopefully I'll give it a try soon.
re: fldhkybnva
Flounder is mild an was staple in our household growing up. Breaded in cracker meal an fried with a side of tartar sauce and homemade macaroni and cheese was a Lenten favorite of my father.
Flounder is similar to catfish if you haven't tried it.
re: melpy
While I enjoy both flounder and catfish, other than a sweet white fish, I do not see the similarity.
I grew up with both, and even sold saltwater catfish to local restaurants, when we caught them.
With flounder (I am talking about Gulf here), there is a sweetness, like with much of the Halibut, where with catfish (saltwater, or freshwater), there is an "earthiness," that is not bad, but is present.
For most Halibut, I go with a Chardonnay, or a lighter Pinot Noir. Same for Flounder. For catfish, I would not choose a Chard, and would first head to an "earthy" PN.
Both are white, both have a certain "sweetness," but then catfish (both salt and freshwater), have a unique "earthiness."
re: Bill Hunt
2nd the flounder comparison. Eaten quite a bit of both and they are very similar. To me the key is fresh / fresh / fresh. For this reason, I prefer the Flounder because most of the time I am eating it the same day I caught it.
re: Tom34
I would think that it would depend on where you live, or where you are dining. Fresh Flounder, done well, is a great delight. Same for fresh Halibut. When any fish is frozen, even for short transit, things can go a bit off. Still, with Fed-X, and really good practices, it can be hard to tell, especially if the fish is flash-frozen upon being caught, and then transported. Lot of variables involved.
Over much of my young life, I had some of the most wonderful Gulf Coast Flounder. Then, when I moved away, it was sort of close, but not that much.
re: Bill Hunt
I agree with the freezing Bill. I think most fish is flash frozen now days but I have found that it does not hold well in the freezer. After a relatively short time, the corners & edges become a little off color indicating the onset of freezer burn and the taste becomes very strong / off. I often wonder how long the cases sit in the warehouses. I have had many bad experiences with portion controlled vacuum sealed Tuna, Sword & Mahi Mahi.
I have only had Mid Atlantic Flounder and I think its really good. Eating fresh same day as caught just can't be beat for both texture and flavor.
It's one of my fave and the Alaskan Halibut is thick, firm, sweet and super white in color.
Not as much a fan of the local halibut...spoiled knowing the AK is sublime.
I love to prepare it with lemon caper beurre blanc.
Can be pricey but well worth it.
I've had good luck same day at Costco.
I asked last week and said it should be in season in a month or so.
I cook it medium and have never seen worms.
I no longer eat sword from all the tumors when we used to fly and sword spot in the islands.
I don't want to put damper on things 'halibut-wise' but a couple of things you should be aware of. Pretty much all the halibut you get in your average grocery store has been frozen. Halibut is a VERY delicate fish and IMO freezing it ruins the sweet light taste you get from really fresh. If you live anywhere away from where halibut is caught even 'fresh' unfrozen' halibut has basically begun rotting the minute the fish is dead. A piece of 'fresh' halibut may be a week old and no amount of icing will help. Truly fresh halibut has almost a 'pearlescent'' sheen appearance. The older the fish gets the more 'milky'white the surface.
Also you can be pretty much guaranteed that any fish department bringing in fish from a distance dips all the fish in a 'special' albite supposedly 'food safe' chemical to remove the 'fishy smell before it goes into the display case.
So..... IMO if you can't get truly fresh halibut you'll never get to actually taste the fish. Fresh halibut is a delicious fish when it's fresh.
re: Puffin3
Great, thanks for the additional information, much appreciated.
re: fldhkybnva
That will work just fine, & will be a perfect introduction for you.
re: fldhkybnva
I have had excellent luck with just using a white wine, fish (or even vegetable) stock, garlic, onion, fennel, butter and caper sauce. Fennel really seams to pair well with Halibut.
re: fldhkybnva
It's one of my favorite fish, too. Here's a preparation that enhances but doesn't conquer the flavor - grate a clove of fresh garlic, 1/2 t cumin, splash of green tabasco, T white worchestershire, 1/2 t dried thyme, juice of half a lemon, and slurry it up with olive oil. Marinade in the fridge for a couple hours. Grill or broil.
re: rcallner
Does it need to be white worcestershire? (just in case the halibut here becomes affordable any time soon... maybe in time for grilling weather :-))
re: linguafood
Yes, black worchestershire is completely different. You'll find the white is a lovely enhancer for fish, poultry and pork sauces. It also lasts forever, so it's a decent investment. Hm. I'm wanting to eat some of this soon, now I'm focused on it....
re: rcallner
Cool. I'll have a look-see next time at the store!
re: Querencia
No joke, fish have worms. I'm not sure if it applies to farmed as well, but wild fish have worms. They live in the environment and are susceptible to parasites as many species are-symbiosis if you will :)
re: Querencia
You know what the wasabi with sushi is for? Antibacterial.
A wonderful fish--my favorite whitefish. Meaty like salmon and swordfish yet mild. Not very oily. You should definitely try it.
Thanks for all of the information, advice and suggestions. I finally tried halibut tonight. While it was quite refreshing and had a lovely texture, I think it's a bit too mild for my tastes to be included as a regular go-to fish choice but it was still light and delicious.
A lot of 'fresh halibut' sold in stores does come from large halibut. 'Chicken halibut' is small halibut and has a sweeter more flavorful taste.
You'll hate me for this but any fish when it's grown about as large as they can will be riddled with worms/parasites halibut included. You won't find anyone (generalizing here) who lives where they can buy fresh caught halibut right off the boat who wouldn't rather buy a 10 pound whole 'chicken halibut' instead of a ten pound piece of halibut from a 200 pound fish.
When I fished commercially for salmon/rock cod/ling cod/halibut if we ever wanted to eat any fish we just caught it would always be small ones. Less worms/paristisitiac cysts etc.
re: Puffin3
I see, thanks although aren't the parasites killed at cooking temperatures?
re: fldhkybnva
That's open to debate. Some suggest that in order to kill off all parasites you must heat the fish to the point where it's not worth eating. The younger the fish the smaller the parasites/worms.
re: Puffin3
I hate it when I come across a parisitic cyst when eating halibut. It's reminiscent of Richard Blaise using molecular gastronomy to make a puss filled sphere that bursts in your mouth when you bite down.
re: John E.
Omg that is so gross. Despite my concerns about the possibility of eating parasitic worms, I had some halibut a couple weeks ago and didn't notice anything like what you vividly describe! Just mild buttery sweet flakes.
re: John E.
Wow, never heard it put quite like that.
re: Puffin3
Chicken halibut? Is it the same species as the regular big filets of halibut? Is it a baby? I have never seen this at my fish counter. Granted, the only good fish I have access to is at Whole Foods-- I'm a good 3hrs from the NC Atlantic coast.
re: ohmyyum
On the West Coast young halibut around the 10 pound range are prized by the locals who catch them and they are called 'chicks'/'chickens'. I'm not sure why.
The 'tourists' seem to be wanting 'trophy' halibut over two hundred pounds. When I was a fishing guide we'd cut the two hundred pounders into pieces to fit the iced down containers the tourists had flown home. Tourist to guide/s: "Would you like a piece of this huge trophy to take home?" Guide/s: "I'm fine thanks. I have some at ". LOL
re: Puffin3
Ah so it is the same fish! But it seems I will have to visit the west coast to try it, and have a fisherman friend at that!
re: Puffin3
IMHO, small / younger is better with most animals or seafood for the reasons you mentioned and also for favor & tenderness. For eating purposes, I would take a 10 lb stripped bass over a 30 lb one any day of the week. I would also rather have (2) 6 oz lobster tails than (1) 12 oz tail.

"In praise of 'Weird Al' Yankovic"
Earlier this month, the Tampa Bay Times included an interesting cultural analysis of the impact of Weird Al in contemporary culture: "In praise of 'Weird Al' Yankovic." Here is an excerpt:
Yes, it's time to give Weird Al Yankovic his due as one of the key forebears of the pop-culture obsessed pop culture we know and love today.
Weird Al is famous for his parodies (and unfairly maligned for his originals, many of which are catchy, clever pop). But he isn't great because he wrote stinging, hilarious satire - he doesn't. Eat It, Amish Paradise and most of the rest aren't actually satire, if they're related at all to the song being parodied.
He's great because by writing them at all, he showed that pop culture was something to be talked about, mocked, ironically loved, obsessed over. To be treated like any other topic of conversation, in other words.

Election speaks volumes about the state of America and its electorate.

By RICHARD AMRHINE
In his day-to-day political rhetoric, whether he's pitching war against Iraq, citing the well-hidden health of the economy, or simply discussing education and the environment, the president fails to persuade me that he really knows what he's talking about.
Maybe he's getting better with experience. But he still comes off as goofy. I can't state with authority that he is goofy, but I can say for sure that he comes off that way. As we sift through the ruins of his English, it becomes clear that he has surrounded himself with bright people, like Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, and is trying to emulate them.
But when he addresses the nation as the commander in chief--as president rather than No. 1 Republican--all of the ideological differences and personal doubts temporarily fade to the background. I'll gather the kids around the TV and we'll listen to what President Bush has to say about Afghanistan and Iraq--just as my parents gathered us around the old Philco to learn what President Kennedy had to say about Cuba and Russia.
I may still shake my head at the way Bush expresses himself, but not without reminding myself that he is the current, democratically elected leader of the free world--and that's nothing to sneeze at.
Still, it is disconcerting how well-suited he seems to today's sound-bite-savvy Americans. If President Bush comes across as superficial, he is supplying Americans with what they want.
The Bush administration's focus is trained on the war on terrorism and homeland security. We are limited to hearing from his spokesman about how well-briefed the president is on everything else, from the gyrations of Wall Street to the needle countdown for the snipers (who have joined Virginia's Alive Until Officially Proven Guilty club).
With so many Americans more concerned about which bimbo "The Bachelor" would select from the harem and who would win "American Idol," who has time to care about politics?
They may have been captivated by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but most Americans are either too busy or too uninterested to have a thorough understanding of the important issues unfolding around them. As long as they know they're still governed by a president and not a junta, there's not much that deeply concerns them or that they figure they could do much about anyway. That was the case with President Reagan and Iran-Contra, and that's how it is today with Bush and his ties to big business and Enron.
That makes President Bush the right man in the right place at the right time.

I wanted to get this weekend started off on the right foot. That means: cookies! Who can resist some cookies (and maybe a cold glass of milk to go with them)?
Even if you don't live in New York City, I am sure you might have come across the name: Momofuku Milk Bar. From compost cookies to crack pie, the NYC bakery is famous for its sweet creations. Today: I want to talk about their newest cookie: the Perfect 10 Kookie!
Aren't they beautiful? I almost felt bad eating these golden lovelies. American Express, Christina Tosi (Momofuku Milk Bar's famed pastry chef) and her long-time friend and supermodel Karlie Kloss teamed up to create a healthy cookie that's just as delicious as it is nutritious and also benefits a great cause.
Now: make sure you pay attention: THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO WIN THESE COOKIES! I am giving away 6 tins of cookies here on the blog, and 4 tins over on my Facebook page. Yes: that means if you enter in both places, your name could potentially be drawn twice!
The Perfect 10 Kookies are made with healthy, all natural ingredients. They are dairy-free, gluten-free, and sweetened with agave. They are available for sale at Momofuku Milk Bar in Manhattan and 30 percent of the proceeds go to FEED, an organization that provides school meals to children around the world through the United National World School Feeding program. Each "perfect 10 kookie" sold provides 10 school meals to hungry children around the world. How cool is that?
There are 6 large cookies in each tin, and I have a feeling they won't last long once they arrive in your kitchen. The cookies are chewy in texture, with a nice crunch from the slivered almonds. If you didn't tell me, I would have no idea that they are dairy free and gluten free…they are just 100% GOOD! I'm currently mourning the fact that I only have one cookie left.
So – let's get you entered to win some of these delicious Perfect 10 Kookies, shall we? Entrants with US mailing addresses can enter below using the Rafflecopter widget. (it might take a few seconds to load). If you're confused on how to use Rafflecopter, here's a quick video tutorial! Then: head over to my Facebook page and enter for your second chance at a cookie tin!
And hey, guess what? I have the recipe for the Perfect 10 Kookies for you as well! So, if you don't happen to win one of the tins, you can whip up a batch yourself. I am pretty sure I'll be making some of my own in the near future. I'm hooked!

Breakers Mansion, the 70-room Italian Renaissance-style villa built by the famous architect Richard Morris Hunt for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, is among them most visited in Newport.
2 reviews
Our tour was a combination Cliff walk and tour of the Breakers. Best most informative memorable tour of the trip. the guide, a retired naval officer shared historical stories about the Newport society and current happenings in Newport. She was enthusiastic and was approachable. Of all our tours her enthusiasm, knowledge and friendliness stands out.

I love all the Vanderbilt houses, and the Breakers is no exception. My only complaint on this stop was the tour operator allowed us too much time here and everyone was back near the bus with about 20 minutes left. When we asked if we could walk to the Marble House, the bus driver got nasty and said if we chose to walk to the next house he wouldn't take us back to the ship. Guess he was having a bad day....

We took the Cliff walk and Breakers combined tour.
We saw the mansion after the walk. I'd been here before in the 80s when the tour was given by a person rather than a recording. It's still a nice tour, and a very interesting window on the lifestyles at that time period.
My only regret is we did not disembark earlier because the schedule looked like we'd have some time to shop and look around in town after the tour and that was not the case.

Our last stop, Newport RI where we would tender in despite the rain. Yes, it was really really rainy, cold and windy however the tender crews did a fantastic job in getting us to Newport and the ship safely. Here we opted for the Vanderbilt Mansion tour and considering the weather we chose wisely. Our tour guide was great and a fun time was had by all.

Fletch: Fans needn't worry about Wayne
Manchester United fans needn't worry about Wayne Rooney. The United striker struggled with England at the World Cup – but will be straight back in the groove when he pulls on the famous red shirt. That is the prediction of team-mate Darren Fletcher, who is confident Rooney will revert to type now he is back at Old Trafford. "When we kick off, Wayne will be the fantastic player we have come to know down the past few years," said Fletcher. "He is a tremendous player and a real talisman for the team. And I think playing for Manchester United definitely brings out the best in him." Rooney cut a forlorn figure in South Africa, out of touch and frustrated as England squirmed through the group stage then crashed out to Germany. But he shone for United in the Community Shield win against champions Chelsea. And Fletcher, a team-mate throughout Rooney's five years at Old Trafford, is sure England's loss in the World Cup will be United's gain. Fletcher said: "We all know Wayne's game and he knows ours. We have played together and trained together for a long time now, for five or six years. Wayne's form last season was fantastic and we obviously hope it will continue this season, which I'm sure it will, because he is simply a top-class player."

Match of the Day pundit Alan Hansen writes in the Telegraph that Sir Alex cannot rely on Rooney to carry them again. The former Liverpool defender adds that "United will have to find somebody else to come up with the goods to ease the burden on Rooney this season."
Michael Owen tells the Mirror that the title race will once again come down to a straight fight between United and Chelsea. The Sun also features quotes from the striker who reckons he's "still got four or five years at the top." Meanwhile, Gary Neville dismisses big-spending Manchester City as serious title contenders.

Court ruling supports planned Islamic center at former Farmington Hills elementary school
Updated On: Sep 21 2012 08:27:28 PM EDT
The Farmington Hills School District is a step closer to finalizing a deal to sell a closed elementary school in West Bloomfield to the Islamic Cultural Association.
The plan to sell the Eagle Elementary has generated public opposition to plans for a mosque and cultural center on the school's site.
Two residents filed suit to block the sale. A lower court ruled the residents had no standing. That decision was upheld on Friday by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
It is not clear if the ruling will be appealed.

Looking for some help in the garden? Many of nature's most useful critters lie literally at our feet, underappreciated and ignored despite their ability to eliminate insects, condition soils and pollinate plants.
Turtles, moths, moles, dragonflies, snakes, toads and spiders are among the many wild things that can help maintain a landscape. The payback is minimal – food, water, shelter and easing off on harsh lawn and garden chemicals.
I believe in teamwork, using all the creatures that live in your garden, said Sharon Lovejoy, author of Trowel and Error (Workman Publishing, 2003). Start from the ground up with night crawlers as part of your workforce.
Add to the earthworms already in your plant beds with commercially available red worms.
Build a worm bin or a place where they can't get out, Lovejoy said. Use all of your leftovers – your kitchen compost. Worms can process up to 6 pounds of garbage in a week.
Grow an assortment of native plants, which will draw a great many bird species, Lovejoy said. Add plant hosts as food for butterfly and moth larvae.
That list would include milkweed (monarch butterflies), borage (green lacewings), sunflowers (ladybugs) and yarrow (hoverflies). Many insects in the larval stage are voracious predators. Green lacewings as juveniles are aptly named aphid lions because of their appetite for the sap-sucking pests.
I would certainly place spiders near the top of underappreciated life in the garden, said Whitney Cranshaw, an extension entomologist with Colorado State University. Although sometimes I think it is less that they are not appreciated but rather people don't want to think of them.
Spiders are credited for as much as 80 percent of all predator control in the garden. Jumping spiders, wolf spiders, lynx spiders and crab spiders are the standouts, Cranshaw said.
Also great garden helpers are:
Toads. Harmful insects make up 62 percent of a toad's daily food supply, said Lovejoy, who stacks rocks and wood in secluded spots to shelter toads, frogs, turtles, salamanders and lizards.
Dragonflies that can capture over 400 mosquitoes a day.
Moles. They eat their body weight in insects, slugs and grubs while aerating the soil, Lovejoy said.
Sphinx wasps that can pollinate 200 flowers in less than seven minutes, Lovejoy said.
Bats. These nocturnal aerialists pollinate flowers, spread seeds and devour upwards of 600 mosquitoes an hour.

St Michaels Museum Celebrates 50th Anniversary
1964-2014St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary's Square will observe its 50th Anniversary with a celebration on Sunday, October 26 from 3 to 5 pm on the Museum grounds. There will be an exhibit on the history of the museum with photos and documents. Former officers, board members, members, and the public are invited.There will be presentations and discussions of the early days of the Museum. Light refreshments will be served
During renovations 1964
St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary's Square (Originally St. Mary's Square Museum) was established in 1964 by the Town of St. Michaels. Using funds from the 1963 sesquicentennial celebration of the Battle of St. Michaels the Town established the Museum on the old St. Michaels High School site in order to preserve the Sewell House which was an historically important house falling into disrepair on Mill St. The house was moved to St. Mary's Square on May 18, 1964 and restored. In 1968 it was joined by the Teetotum Building, an historic commercial building moved from Willow Street. Then in 2003 the Chaney House, the home of three free African American brothers, was moved from Fremont St.
Sewell-Chaney house today
Walking Tours:
During its 2014 May to October season, St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary's will continue to offer docent led historic walking tours every Saturday at 10AM beginning May 3. The major tour "Historic St. Michaels: Its People, Places and Happenings" will be offered on the first three Saturdays of each month. This tour will give highlights of St. Michaels during the 19th Century, chronicling the rise and fall of the shipbuilding industry, the War of 1812 and battles of St Michaels, and the rise of the seafood industry. These stories will be told by viewing many restored structures from that era and describing life of famous and typical residents of these times, including Frederick Douglas. On the fourth Saturday the Museum's signature tour "Frederic Douglass, a Slave, in St. Michaels 1833-36", will give a more detailed view of the early life of St. Michaels' most famous 19th century resident and probably the most important African American Abolitionist in the Civil War Era.
1970's Walking Tour brochure cover
The approximately 90 minute docent led walking tours will leave from the Museum every Saturday morning at 10 AM starting on May 3. These Saturday tours are available for $10 for Adults and $5 for Youth (6-17) with the fee including both the tour and museum entry fee. Detailed schedules can be found on the Museum's website: www.stmichaelsmuseum.org. Reservations are appreciated. Please Email firstname.lastname@example.com for reservations and information.
Subject to docent availability either of these tours can be offered at other times for groups of 5 or more. Email email@example.com or call 410 745 0530 for information on schedules or special group rates.
St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary's Square is open May through October, Fridays 1 to 4 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays 1 to 4 p.m.. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for youth (6-17).
Sampling of the Walking Tour:
The Sewell House, ca. 1865, was the home of a local waterman Jeremiah Sewell and his family. It was moved to the site in 1964 when the museum was established. The house is furnished in period pieces reflecting life of a typical working family at that time.
Built in 1860 as a commercial structure, the Teetotem Building got its name because of its roof's resemblance to a toy top of the period. Originally located on Willow St, the building served variously as a magistrate's office, a town jail, a saddle shop, a mortuary, a bank and a barber shop. Today the building displays highlights of various aspects of St Michaels' commercial life in the 18th and 19th centuries
The Chaney home stands independently from the other buildings. Built by three free African American brothers, circa 1850, the two room house is typical of its genre.
After the brothers were able to buy his freedom from slavery, their father came to live with them. Later their sister and her family also resided there once they were freed.
Partially restored, the home may be viewed. It will contain exhibits on African American life in the community and house a library on the second floor.

Thanks to the Walking Tour Map Committee, the museum has available, free, a new and expanded version of "A Walking Tour of St. Michaels." This brochure allows you to identify historically important buildings and learn a little about their history as you stroll through the historic areas of St. Michaels. Stop by the museum to pick up a copy or click on the brochure cover (left) to download a pdf of the walking tour guide.

Regrets of a SAHM
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-19-2013 - 1:49pm
While the mom in the following Huffington Post article was glad she got the chance to be a SAHM mom, now that she is facing an empty nest she is having some regrets about that decision, especially in the area of employment. She discusses several of them in the article; one being that she felt she lowered her sights and lost her confidence:
But far and away my biggest regret about my years at home was that I lowered my sights for myself as I dimmed in my own mind what I thought I was capable of. I let go of the burning ambition I once held because I didn't feel as though I could hold it and three babies at the same time. My husband did not do this, my children did not do this, I did this. In the years that I was home, I lulled myself into thinking that I was accomplishing enough because I was. I was raising my children and as any parent who had spent a day with a child knows, that can fill all of the hours in a day. What I hadn't realized was how my constant focus on my family would result in my aspirations for myself slipping away. And despite it being obvious, I did not focus on the inevitable obsolescence that my job as mom held.

" Your idea of planning is much different than mine. Childcare-tell the teacher child will not be in class..."

So you pulled your kids out of school, and didn't plan childcare...did you leave them home alone?

No, it was magical that childcare showed up, I asked earlier.
<<they "knew" the kids schedule and your travel schedule and just showed up magically to take care of everything.
|Mon, 06-24-2013 - 9:44pm

Pray tell .. did she give you and the rest of her staff ample notice?

She told us about the trip but we got the info the day before. We all just do what we need to when someone is out. We work as a team.

We work as a team too, but there is a lot of things that they can't do while I'm out. The things they can do while I'm out are somewhat of a burden because it increases their already-too-heavy workload. And then there are some things that can be done while i'm out that take some signficant instruction before I leave or that take some prep on my or their part.
|Mon, 06-24-2013 - 9:43pm

Psst spring, giving notice is planning. You said you didn't plan a thing for this trip, not childcare, not work, not shopping...nothing, it was all magical. :)

Nope, I NEVER said that I didn't give notice nor was it "magical". These were everyone else's words. Your idea of planning is much different than mine. Childcare-tell the teacher child will not be in class, Work-tell boss you will not be in work, shopping? not sure what this means, again as I mentioned this before.

But you said you didn't plan at all. That it just happened and you agreed it was magical....and now you are backtracking, again. Really spring, I don't know how anyone can believe anything you say.
<<We did not PLAN the vacation that was won. We never found the NEED for an overnight or weekend "DATE". We never found the NEED for a week long vacation either, THAT just happened. <<
<<Do you not understand the word PLANNED? Common sense would tell you something that is a SURPRISE is NOT planned.>>
<<Didn't think I NEEDED to use the word PLANNED as MOST people PLAN a night away or weekend get away>>
<<Of course not, the family just "knew" that you needed a sitter,
<<they "knew" the kids schedule and your travel schedule and just showed up magically to take care of everything.
<<So you won and had to immediately board the boat?
Almost, yes.>>
<<No needing to set up childcare.>>
<<no shopping for clothes,
<<That's amazing, they just knew the time to show up and everything, so magical.
Pretty much, yes.>>

" Your idea of planning is much different than mine. Childcare-tell the teacher child will not be in class..."
So you pulled your kids out of school, and didn't plan childcare...did you leave them home alone?
Yeah I left them home all alone
|Mon, 06-24-2013 - 9:36pm

<<Got'cha. I don't see less importance there, I see relationship difference with your employer. Nice. >>

So your dh could easily leave on a vacation without planning with work?  Yep, telling the boss, just like I did.

Just leave on a day's notice and be gone for a week and if he couldn't leave like that then there is a relationship difference with his employer?

When did I say we EVER did that?

It's not about how important his job is or isn't, all about his relationship with the employer?

We have GREAT relationships with our employers and are truly blessed that we don't have to worry about things like last minute plans.

psst spring, my post was to jams.

|Mon, 06-24-2013 - 9:34pm
That wouldn't work in our area, but I know the boss gave that type of notice to others and some didn't even know that the boss was gone. It all depends on how much interaction and the job involved.
I guess. She gave the top 3 people with senority things to do in her absence. Things that we have already done before anyway as we all always help out.
|Mon, 06-24-2013 - 9:33pm
<<h no, it's only relevant for those who plan before leaving their children for the week, you said you didn't plan so how long my planning takes is not really relevant for someone who claims they didn't plan.
So you never have left your children to go away with your dh for a week?>>
That's what you got out of that post? Clearly you need to read it again, lol...oh boy. Have you not read about the planning I have done to leave my children for a week? Have you not read my shock at your not planning when you left your children for a week? Oh my, spring...yes, I have left my children and I did all the planning that I have detailed out for you and probably more.
Sorry to hear that you needed to do so much planning. Was the people who watched your kids THAT unfamiliar with their daily lives?
<<Nope, didn't say that.>>
You said there wasn't any planning, now you are changing your mind again?
<<What type of planning? How long would it take you?>>
The same planning I told you about a few posts ago, see this is why I don't believe you when you said you remember something I said...you can't remember in the same thread, lol.
Seems like OVER planning IMO.
So again, why is it easy planning now when just awhile ago you claimed there wasn't any PLANNING!
It is easy when there is nothing to plan because it is daily life things that is well known by the person watching your children.

Heard on the L. A. Tarone Show, this is a recording of message from the Battle of Corregidor as it fell to the Japanese May 6, 1962. The telegraph operator was Irving Strobing; the man reading it is Arnold Lappert.
Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
We're back did is 735. It's Monday night let's go to the news -- -- line and -- three on it. He is Nate read from Colorado. That's -- strawberry is at Colorado Highway Patrol -- Colorado state patrol. -- Colorado state patrol OK and that -- Colorado's version. Pennsylvania state police. -- -- we have and I can assure certain. And you have achieved that and all your domestic balance and towels and things like -- but -- haven't been a vehicle that's what we wish. Al-Qaeda and sets went to -- state that's among the things that says state police says it does here. The reason now for anybody let's say the reason now we have reached out to. They commonwealth release date of Colorado. Is because -- -- do you have any less blame law in Colorado that says seems to work pretty well. I can you explained. Out of the basics and the loss first the ball. Act in that 2004. They came up with a loss going to be a lot -- law where. They've rooted reminder to be a 65 mile an hour plots were way. And delighted with more than two literature -- more. The last why would be designated as being any date I think lane. Let anybody in uniform and that plane. I'll be in violation if they work in the process of passing -- -- -- on the road over sixty problem on our American access. And -- lecture interstate system something -- content. Why is it to limited to highways of -- and I guess I'm probably should be asking a legislature this question but I'll ask anyway. Why is it limited only highways without. Speed limits of 65 because -- players tied up traffic. Is not limited only 65 mile an hour roads we have the so called expressway is around here that are jammed that move with 35 or forty miles an hour one of the biggest problem is he's. Idiots who think it's called the BMO left wind. Yeah and not. -- I wish I could answer your question that we have plenty erode that drove directly down that's senator and Denver better or -- implied. And it's -- if you follow our roadway and I think just the just a volume of traffic alone. I would -- how it you know except the middle of the night for. But luckily he gonna be opened for people just pass it down because the volume is so is so large group at our. And down a strike I guess I could see that what is the fine for violations. Oh where try and the last one in violation in the name sir. What a dollar three dollars surcharge so you know it's it amounts to about a 103 dollar fine. How is -- had there been any. I don't know if there's any statistics taken for accidents caused. By left playing drivers I tried to find them on knits and you can find almost everything and it's a site except that. Are there any statistics. That indicate the law may be doing what you and what down legislators hoped it would do. I don't know I'm in 94 there was a pass though there was a lot about the relative slow traffic law and now we have -- open until this one in 94. Are you an old war and not. It was -- -- and it's still on the books they've focused on the books but be left wing off out specific elements. All the trapped contraction instead of I'm summed it. No arbitrary in uniform traffic where. A little bit slow traffic gets let out -- pastor of Europe for howl. And it's it's really. It's really gory where -- be left lane violation had specific elements where it would help but not certain. Are determined what those violations worksheet and something you need to bring order -- your bring to court and a magistrate -- -- look at that that. In traction any specifics about an attraction and ultimately rule in our favor I'm gonna. Thought I was gonna ask is that things like must be in the left -- for more than half a mile or so why -- does that kind of discussion happen in the general assembly here when the very week. Last flame law this state adopted in 1999. Was passed. I it. You know this. The impeding the flow traffic it's. You know it it -- -- -- like. Reasonable forward movement of traffic. I'm except when you reduce speed is necessary -- safe operation soak up some words there where. It doesn't -- 65 miles an hour how a sixty -- are -- While passing another vehicle in -- road design -- truly -- more. For specifics -- and the trooper Burke it's much here right right right at ticket they doubled but based on those very specific -- here. Bryant how big of a problem was left flame. Left -- driving in Colorado I mean people some of my listeners get tired of hearing me scream about it but I put 40000 miles a year on a car. And most of that is highway driving and to me it is the biggest problem because there is any data goes by. I don't come to an interstate 81 and there's some idiot in the last point is always called -- -- here. An -- wins 55 and a 65 and everybody's got to zoom around him. That's what causes accidents in in this state there's been some road rage incidents because of that. That's a lot of people say and I don't have a specific numbers because. Like you say we can't tie any one crash partial factor too. I left in violation but. I'm the rage that people in calendar where they're buying somebody a violator. In this case on the left wing law to try to talk about a -- religion if you put 40000 mile when your car. Every year. I'm sure the thirty plus style that is behind somebody go to swallow up twice and I can tell -- and when you when you confront people out of left forty law. I'm oftentimes. It's an education piece and they don't even know -- itself it's a lot lane violation. And it's it's hard to educate people on all elements of all traffic infraction. And now we too -- hand and it's really hard loss due to its force and we had. Just last year -- we had over 4500 contacts. I'm sort the last -- law on main contrast those that would impugn the -- I think you know what are stopped. -- under thousands not even need not even 900 intent. So I'm. But to have the but the -- there. But explain why it seems to be working its -- education indication he's content that comes with enforcement but. It just takes time and it obviously take legislation on the part of somebody in your state. -- comfortable couple like this because I think ultimately it's working people understand there are billboards and the deal -- an -- to hang over the sides they change. But signs. Educate people were able to educate people on their morning commute that -- going into what it. And now it's the law and things like that we're unused mobile billboards and things like that that. Couldn't -- in a daily basis and we educate people to get out of the way and if you're just a leisurely driver you what do those sixty miles an hour to become our Arab world. And violations not a -- put a lot of dollars off the fourth pitcher Carlos. How many points. It's believed that are out yep twelve a year to lose or 182 years so I'm. That's you know it's it's a good portion to your point but obviously it's a movie about relations soak you're insurance can be -- as well. Right right right by you answer -- espresso that was nasty Yonder took off putting signs along the highways and things like is because in this date. A previous governor Ed Rendell. Was -- being chauffeured around -- -- noticed how many -- -- drivers who were so we he had signs put up. On the turnpike. But not on the interstate system or anywhere is finished -- so -- let us. How about an -- endorsement. I'm -- we haven't we had in mind not on tall wave it around the state and we also album. On interstate system it's true channel and that was obviously there was earned only an area that's 65 blocked but. I I hope the -- do you know they're retracting you know to to express the law on her FaceBook page to her Twitter just to remind people that. It is the law and that we feel that. You know -- -- but hopefully we can -- and can -- infant should could or know people get frustrated that left blank. When they do to -- get an abrupt lane change to the right and it cut somebody off now and then ultimately and then the crap out ordered a road bridge and that -- you know and we've got people chill. After driving the look in the last play and not. And then there's that guy doing some Ngo right now have forever and it killed two people unload two totally. In November 2005. And because of the border agents because somebody below or. So I'm you know I urge your listeners to. -- country -- Singapore. And I understand that you can always get some more so quickly and now you -- are you PayPal summer right I don't know if that's simply -- It is you you did didn't used to be but it is now out. Yeah and now you know there's a lot of people that don't understand the law there's a lot of people that they do they understand a lot of days. Day. They don't watch all the law -- -- they just feel comfortable sitting over an -- planet a lot less traffic that. That it that can can not and there and I'd urge your listeners should just move around a person to the right he can't. And trying to not let that person get here because. Complete a road rage. Try and where you're gonna -- when you're gonna we're not trying to be really -- an -- -- secured. -- -- found you guilty of calm and somebody -- -- -- mean you get -- trying to person slam on the brakes and dual port checked. We're at that driver lose control such as car over on the other side I don't. -- what killed two people so. I'm this is a real a real case you're Cabrera -- rich case it's based on that up what let him walk and that it it it it's an unfortunate sentiment but until that happened that. I'm hopefully nothing like this -- the F -- Morale. So I'm -- patrolman thank you were very much if -- anybody in not Pennsylvania. I I assume it's not a problem to get a copy of a lot they would be interested in introducing you here just contact somebody and the state legislature. Absolutely I'm waking -- -- local Irish. Did on it on the Internet and you can -- can't you find a -- Far right. -- trooper Nate -- with Colorado state -- thank you so much for being with us tonight you bet they do it I don't accept.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Up to half the terror suspects held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay could be closer to heading home under a bipartisan deal reached in Congress that gives President Barack Obama a rare victory in his fight to close the prison.
The deal would lift the most rigid restrictions Congress previously imposed on detainee transfers overseas and is part of a broad compromise defense bill awaiting final passage in the Senate this week. The House approved the measure last Thursday.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said the compromise could have a dramatic impact on the 160 detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"About half of the detainees would be detainees that could be transferred to their third-world countries from which they come," Levin told reporters. "About half of the detainees would remain in Guantanamo because of the prohibition on transferring them to the United States for detention and for trial."
The defense bill marks the first time since Obama came to office promising to close Guantanamo that Congress is moving to ease restrictions instead of strengthen them. And it could signal changing political views toward the prison for terrorism suspects now that the war in Afghanistan is winding down.
Obama's achievement was somewhat of a surprise, after the Republican-controlled House earlier this year voted overwhelmingly to make it harder to transfer detainees. But the deal to move in the opposite direction passed with hardly any opposition and little attention -- perhaps overshadowed by more prominent defense bill debates over Iran sanctions, military sexual assaults and spying by the National Security Agency.
But even with the deal, Obama still faces big obstacles to closing Guantanamo. Congress has effectively blocked him from doing so for his first five years in office, and he faces declining clout in his final three. Yet the president seems determined as part of his legacy to push for closure of the prison he argues never should have been opened and "has become a symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law."
Congressional proponents of keeping Guantanamo open say they felt they had to allow for transfers to other countries to maintain a more important priority -- a ban on detainees from coming into the United States. The administration also pushed for the ability to transfer detainees to the U.S. for imprisonment, trial or medical emergencies but lost on that front, leaving Obama a thorny predicament of what to do with captives considered too dangerous to release.
Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, who worked on the compromise as the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he'll continue to fight to keep Guantanamo open even as some colleagues are softening their position. "There's no place else you can house these terrorists," he said in a telephone interview Wednesday, adding some former detainees have re-engaged in terrorist activity.
"I look at this and I wonder why people don't want it," Inhofe said. "But the president doesn't and he's going to keep trying (to close it). And this bill stops him from doing it."
Obama renewed his commitment to closure this spring when detainees went on a hunger strike to protest indefinite confinement without charge, now going on for 12 years. Obama responded by vowing to make the case anew to Congress that the prison hurts the United States and appointing envoys at the State and Defense Departments to work toward closure.
"Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe," Obama said. "It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counterterrorism efforts. It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed."
Top administration officials, including Obama counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco and State Department envoy Clifford Sloan, made a quiet yet effective lobbying push to convince members to ease restrictions. They pointed out the annual cost of operating Guantanamo has reached more than $2 million per prisoner while other terrorism suspects are kept in U.S prisons at a small fraction of the price.
Half of the detainees at Guantanamo were approved for transfer nearly four years ago, provided that the home country could provide security guarantees. But the Obama administration has argued that many approved transfers effectively have been blocked by restrictions imposed by Congress.
For instance, lawmakers have barred the administration from transferring any detainee without the Pentagon certifying that, among other requirements, the receiving country is not "facing a threat that is likely to substantially affect its ability to exercise control over the individual." Administration officials have said that's a bar too high in particular for Yemen, home to the world's most active al-Qaida branch and more than half the Guantanamo detainees.
