Pre Tricklet
So, I just got my Pre yesterday, and was messing about with copying some of my more important contacts over (until my new Laptop arrives, and I can use Vista to copy the rest over from my older Win Mobile phone), and noticed that the Pre doesn't save commas in contact entries. After no luck searching through the manual, or with a search of the internets, I ended up calling Sprint's customer support. Apparently, I'm the first person to call about this issue, and so nobody could help really, though it was suggested to possibly call Palm directly. So I went back to do a little searching, and found some references to using the 'p' or 'w' characters to mean pause/wait on other phones. Not exactly the results I was hoping for, but inserting a 'p' does let me store the bit of information I need in the contact entry, and use it in the dialer. It simply does a 'wait for input' type of thing, and appends a button for the next sequence of numbers to dial, which must be manually 'pressed' during the call. At least it will let me still use conference numbers at least somewhat more easily than remembering the PIN myself.

If you believe climate change is real, and you want to profit from the possible end of the world, you should go out now and buy big energy stocks.
This is the remorseless conclusion of the latest quarterly letter from Boston-based money management guru Jeremy, aka Jeremiah, Grantham.
More on that in a moment.
Grantham's quarterly missives are required reading in the financial world. (They are available for free at the GMO website, www.gmo.com, though you have to register.) He warned against both the dotcom and housing bubbles before they burst, and on both occasions he was among the lone voices crying in the wilderness. In recent years he has been warning about the impending disaster of climate change or global warming, with similar success.
Grantham's latest letter, out this week, contains astonishing and alarming news. The U.S. economic growth rate is collapsing, he says, and this is not a temporary thing. "The U.S. GDP growth rate that we have become accustomed to for over a hundred years - in excess of 3% a year - is not just hiding behind temporary setbacks," he warns. "It is gone forever. Yet most business people (and the Fed) assume that economic growth will recover to its old rates." He says this is a trend that has been developing for several decades. It was masked by the dotcom and housing bubbles, and by a wave of women entering the workforce from 1970 to 2000.
How Sandy impacted jobs numbers
Paul Vigna and Phil Izzo discuss how the superstorm in the Northeast affected jobless-claims data, and Oliver Pursche looks at five growth stocks to add to your portfolio. Photo: AP.
He expects future growth to be about 1% a year after inflation, and warns that rising costs of scarce raw materials - energy, metals and foodstuffs - may strangle even that. Grantham fears growth might turn negative, and stay there, within about one to three decades. We will enter a very different world - one in which effectively everything is recycled.
We forget that productivity growth is a new thing: It was virtually nonexistent in human history until about 1850. It may get back there again.
But what about oil stocks?
Grantham notes that the evidence of global warming is now inescapable. We've had three bad harvests in a row. Of the ten extreme floods to have hit New York City since 1920, three have occurred in the last two and a half years. Arctic ice has lost 75% of its volume in thirty years. It may all be gone within a decade, Grantham notes.
And now for that math.
Man-made emissions of greenhouse gases since 1850 have raised global temperatures by about 0.8 degrees Celsius, notes Grantham. Once that number hits 2 degrees, we're in deep trouble on global warming.


text: blog postsAssociate Dean Lanesskog Participates in a Corporate and Social Resonsibility ConferenceSep 26, 2010 1:30 pm by Stig LanesskogShare on FacebookTweetEmailImagesLast week, Associate Dean Stig Lanesskog served as a moderator at a Corporate and Social Responsibility conference in New York. Learn more about the conference and his thoughts on the importance of incorporating CSR into the MBA curriculum.I had the opportunity to attend a conference on corporate and social responsibility (CSR) in New York. The event, held at Columbia University, brought together leaders from higher education and industry to discuss CSR and the broader issue of creating responsible leaders. There was much debate regarding whether CSR and ethics could be taught. The academic panel, consisting of four professors, acknowledged that methods such a single class on ethics is not enough. There was consensus that students need significant experiential learning opportunities to be able to apply CSR principles so that they are best able to appreciate the implications of decisions they will face throughout their careers. This couldn't be more true at Illinois. The College of Business, home of the Center for Professional Responsibility is athought leader on the topic of CSR.Within the MBA program, students just created the Kola Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on improving the standard of living for those living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota (read more about their trip to Pine Ridge on our student blog). I had the opportunity to moderate a panel of Senior Talent Management executives. The panel comprised of the Global Head of Talent Management at Marsh McLennan, the Senior Director of Talent and Organization Develop at AIG, Vice President of Talent and Strategy at CIT and the Director of Workforce Intelligence at jetBlue. They reinforced the notion that CSR type behaviors could be taught and were an emphasis within their firms. To accomplish this, senior leadership must not only make it a priority, but that it must also consistently and visibly practice these behaviors so that it can be reinforced throughout the company. All of the speakers discussed the Millennial Generation (i.e., most of our current MBA students) and how important CSR is to this group. The speakers noted millennials (as newer employees) have a stronger ability to influence a company's leadership than any age group in history. This is backed by a recent survey that indicated that 93% of CEOs believe that CSR is critical, but 50% of them do not know how to implement this within their organization and are therefore looking for ideas from all levels of the organization. At the end of the event, we heard from a current Columbia MBA student. She also serves as a leader within the campus ethics and CSR organization. When asked how students today weight a company's CSR practices when determining which organization to work for, she gave a very interesting analogy. She indicated that soon, in New York City, all food items would not only be labeled with the number of calories it contains, but also with its food miles. The food miles illustrate how many miles the food has been transported prior to ending up at the store. It is a surrogate for the items carbon footprint. She said that at the end of the day it is another piece of information available to allow you to make an informed decision. Corporate values and CSR practices are the same. Ultimately, a student must decide what is most important to them.stats520 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

"... in the very centre of Prague, and yet in nature" ......... more
Per quanto riguarda la posizione è in un'ottima posizione, né troppo vicino né
troppo distante al centro... vicino a due stazioni della metropolitana
(di due linee diverse quindi comodissimo per visitare tutta la città).
Per quanto riguarda l'appartamento è semplicemente delizioso e molto, molto,
MOLTO accogliente (e romantico direi con tutta una serie di combinazioni di luci
da sbizzarirsi per ogni occasione). In pratica non lo consiglio a nessuno perché
voglio trovarlo libero quando tornerò a Praga :)
S. Claudio (solo traveller), Italy, November 2010
Einfache Ausstattung liebevoll gestaltet. Super für Jugendreisen, nicht nur wegen des guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnisses. Zentrale Lage
Susann Thiers (Family with older children), Germany, November 2010
Gegen die Unterkunft gibt es nichts zu sagen. Alles war perfekt. Freundliches Personal, alles sauber und die Lage und Anbindung zum Zentrum ist sehr gut. Nur mit BudgetPlaces gab es einige Probleme. Erste Buchung ohne Grund storniert und zweitens sollten wir dann in der Unterkunft den doppelten Preis zahlen da die Kommunikation zwischen Unterkunft und BudgetPlaces wahrscheinlich auch nicht richtig funktioniert
Matthias Alfa (with friends), Germany, September 2010
Sehr hübsche Unterkunft, man fühlt sich wie im Grünen, sehr angenehm, ruhig, gemütlich.
Dagmar Schmidt (family with older children), Germany, August 2010
Very nice apartment, close to centre of Prague, close to Pivovarsky Dum and nice supermaket
Anastasia Vishnyakova (young couple), Russia, May 2010
The apartment is really well located (less than 10 minutes walking from Wenceslas Square, in the heart of the city) and furnished with everything you may need during your stay. It's clean, safe (with armored door) and it has a "particular atmosphere" thanks to the care of the details with which is furnished (plants, many little lights and more). Moreover it has satellite TV, DVD and videotape reader, HiFi stereo and ADSL line. The most important thing is that owners welcome you like an "old friend" and they really let you feel like at home!
Giacinto Canini (solo traveller), Italy, October 2010
I have never seen anything like this. I spend 4 days in Praha and we were 2 couples.
When we entered the room we were stunned. The furniture is so lovely. You cannot look away,
because there are details in every corner. It seems like you are in a kind of a small wonderforest.
We had a four bed room which was no problem because there was a bed on the ground
floor and as well one on a higher etage. It is a very cousy place with a kitchen
for all people living in the hostel and a common area which welcomes you to sit down,
have breakfast, dinner or just a nice evening. You can meet people all over the world
and it feels more like a huge living commnity (WG) than like a hostel. Everything was
very clean and nice. We had enough towles and even the beddings looked like from
home and not just plain white :) It was located near the metro station and some nice places...
as well a nice restaurant is just around the corner. There you can eat amazing typical chzech food.
All in all, and really without exegerrations, this was the best hostel I have ever been in.
I couldn't belive it is so cheap and so beautiful. As well the personnel was great,
we had very nice talks with all of them and they were there whenever you needed them.
The service was amazing and everybody was honestly friendly and cared about our stay.
You really feel the love put in this hostel even if you just stay a few minutes in Artharmony.
I would defenetly come back to prague at least because of this hostel ;)
Birthe, Germany, January 2011
This Hostel should be called Hotel. It was definetely the best Hostel we´ve ever been. We stood there with 6 girls for 2 nights and it was awesome. The room was totally cute (with a swing in the middle of it!!!)and very clean. There is internet for free and a kitchen and TV that you can use. We had a lot of fun staying there and just look around all the cool stuff.
Andrea, Germany, October 2010
Das hostel ist 5 Minuten vom Wenzel Platz entfernt. Die Zimmer sind ein Traum und alles individuell eingerichtet! Das Personal ist extrem freundlich! Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder!

Town Square
Beautiful soccer fields by Diana Diamond.
Original post made by Mike Nguyen, Crescent Park, on Jul 4, 2006
First, she pointed out that soccer is the least sport "watched" (4%), followed by basketball, baseball and football. I agreed with her with this statistics, but this statistic is completely irrelevant with the 2 new soccer fields.
The city maintained these 2 new soccer fields, so that the kids can "participate and play" soccer. We are not interested in watching soccer, but we want soccer fields for the kids to play on.
Here's the relevant fact for Mrs. Diamond. There are about 18 millions soccer player in this country and they need fields to play on. Soccer is not the most popular "spectator" sport in this country, but it is the most "participating" sport in this country and the world.
Mrs. Diamond, we are not watching the World Cup or MLS games on these 2 fields. Our kids are playing on them and we need them.

While Palo Alto does need more playing fields the corner of Page Mill and El Camino is not where they should have been placed. This corner is a piece of prime real estate that was better suited for a hotel or another revenue producing business.
a resident of University South
on Jul 5, 2006 at 3:58 pm
I have to second Amy's comment, while understanding and supporting the idea of playing fields...
I drove by the new, massive fields the other day and thought: Who could possibly walk here? Walking along or near El Camino isn't exactly pleasant. You don't often see strollers or families crossing El Camino.
That location would definitely have been better used, at least for revenue purposes, as some kind of commercial / hotel / other venture. El Camino just isn't the place for playing fields. I'll guess that those fields get as much use from other less walking friendly towns as from Palo Alto residents... There are a great many vacant lots, some of which are nearly the size of soccer fields, that could be put to the same use but be in walking distance of 1000s of homes.
I thought CPA was trying to be a walking town. The balance here seems off to me...
a resident of Southgate
on Jul 6, 2006 at 9:47 am
Those writers who are complaining that the soccer field location could have been better used for commercial purposes apparently haven't paid attention as proposal after proposal for hotels and offices were turned down due to traffic and parking issues.
ECR isn't the most pleasant street to walk down, but I view that as a chicken and egg problem - if more people start walking down it, the city will be encouraged to make it more pleasant!
The soccer fields are within easy walking distance of the many homes in and around Palo Alto's "second downtown" near California Avenue. I consider them a fine addition to my neighborhood.
a resident of College Terrace

I don't recall any hotel proposals that were submitted to the city. There's was "talk" about that posibility, but to my knowledge, no formal proposals were ever submitted for consideration to the Planning Department or Planning Commission.
Palo Alto and Stanford had discussed sharing a multi-cultrual center, but didn't have a site in mind.
As I wrote some years back, I felt this would have been an ideal location for that. Underground parking, theatre, fitness center (which would bring revenue), artist rooms, etc.
A larger percentage of Palo Altans would have been able to get use out of such a facility, as opposed to a much smaller percentage of Palo Altans who play soccer.

I agree with the above comments. What a great site for a Five star hotel with 3 underground levels of parking. Great access to 101 or 280. Replace the lost sales tax from the Hyatt closing. We "miss the boat again".
a resident of Barron Park
on Jul 11, 2006 at 2:40 pm
This is "crying over split milk. During the public debate over the Mayfield deal with Stanford, multiple people attempted to highlight this question, but it got no traction.
1. At the time, Ms. Diamond was editor of the PA Daily News and could easily have made this a significant issue. Curious about why this got on her radar only belatedly?
2. The Mayfield deal with Stanford was negotiated in private and presented as a take-it-or-leave-it deal (although some modifications were made). Instead of criticizing and done-deal, I would put the focus on the process where a significant policy decision was not publicly debated and decided, but made implicitly by creating so much momentum that it was going to be hard/impossible to consider on the merits.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland

That empty lot at Page Mill x El Camino was EMPTY for many years. There are now playing fields on the site. Why so much bitching?
PA had the opportunity to enhance the Hyatt Rickeys location, but it caved in to neighborhood whackos. There was an existing hotel, and it got wacked - so why should we blame the absence of of a hotel for the real deal? At least there is something of value on the site (playing fields - which meets a real need).
a resident of College Terrace
on Jul 11, 2006 at 9:19 pm
To Kirk, I agree with everything you say, but to put playing fields on the most wellknown intersection (maybe the most expensive land) in Palo Alto is crazy!
a resident of University South
on Jul 13, 2006 at 9:46 am
Stanford has a long-term horizon. The site at El Camino and
Page Mill can be redeveloped in 10-20 years when local politicians
and residents have turned over and priorities change. Soccer
fields are not very expensive. The trade-offs that Stanford
made are very valuable to them. If local politicians got
"taken", it is because they have been too narrow-minded in the
types of development they allow.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State is doing its best to prove John Cohen prophetic.
For the second consecutive game, the No. 22-ranked Bulldogs beat Alabama in walk-off fashion, taking a 7-6 baseball victory in 11 innings at Dudy Noble Field on Sunday.
That win gave MSU (36-13, 13-11 SEC) its first sweep of the Crimson Tide (27-21, 11-12) in nine years, and it was a big bounce-back weekend for a team that was swept at Vanderbilt the week before.
And now State is up two spots in the Western Division standings, to third, and is fifth overall in the SEC with two weekends of play left. MSU is at Ole Miss next weekend.
"I really believe, and I've been saying this for a long time, I think they can get on a roll, and I think they can do some things in the postseason," said Cohen, MSU's fifth-year head coach. "But we're not there yet, and we still have a lot going on in the regular season."
After a doubleheader sweep on Saturday – including a 5-4 win in 10 innings – the Bulldogs had to overcome a 6-3 deficit Sunday. Center fielder C.T. Bradford played the hero, stroking a 1-out single to right field off reliever Jon Keller (3-6) to drive in the winning run.
The junior had four hits on the day. He came up to bat with two men on, after Wes Rea failed to get down a bunt. Cohen spoke with Bradford as he waited on deck.
"He said, 'Coach, I'm on this guy. I'm going to hit the ball hard.'"
Bradford got what he was looking for on the first pitch – a slider. Hunter Renfroe beat the throw home from second base.
MSU's late-game execution didn't surprise Bradford, who said the Vandy sweep didn't affect the team.
"We stay calm and keep our heart rate down, and we deliver," he said.
Jonathan Holder also delivered. The closer entered in the ninth and tossed three shutout innings, striking out six, to earn the win. Holder (2-0) complemented his fastball with a knee-buckling curve.
"Jonathan Holder is like an artist at work," Cohen said. "It's just fun to watch that."
Alabama, which is 1-6 in extra-inning games this season, took a 5-2 lead in the fifth when freshman Mikey White smashed a three-run homer off Ross Mitchell.
Ben Moore's RBI single in the fifth made it 6-3.

"Excellent! Didn't have "turkey carcass", decreased water to 3 quarts and added vegetables (both what was to be added to make the stock, and what was required for the soup). Added mushrooms and extra noodles. Very tasty!"
Reviewed Nov. 28, 2008
"I would increase the bouillon to 6 tsp, I used 3 c turkey, and more carrots than called for. It's got a lot of broth, needs more stuff to be "chunky." but it's excellent. I use low-sodium bouillon so that may be an issue also. Very tasty."

A lot of those phrases are ones I'm only familiar with from Shakespeare, I'd say at least 80% are not what I'd consider common.
I think we read Hamlet in 7th grade or 8th grade and Romeo and Juliet possibly in that same era as well. I don't remember if those were AP or regular classes though, I was in both due to moving from district to district.When I was in high school, we read Romeo and Juliet in 10th grade, Julius Caesar in 11th grade, and Macbeth in 12th grade. We may have read some of the poetry, but I don't recall. I remember reading Hamlet in college (and I think Romeo and Juliet again).
That actually was kind of my point though, our educational system puts a lot of stress on Shakespeare as the foundation of English Literature, yet our world is filled with great literature such as those you've cited. TOS Star Trek had a lot of Shakespeare in it as well, but that was because it was handled from people who respected the stage - both in front of and behind the camera.I always found it interesting to read something and then realize that something else I was familiar with came from it. For instance, I realized where those cartoons I watched as a kid got the "Lenny" and "George" characterizations from from I read Of Mice and Men. Sometimes I may not have read the source material, but I am familiar enough with it to know that Star Trek II had elements of Moby Dick, while Star Trek VI had elements of Shakespeare in it. Perhaps that is a good way to introduce Shakespeare to people. Start by showing a modern adaptation of it, and then have them read the original. That is sort of what the book this thread is about is doing. We start with a modern film we are familiar with, and then we read the Shakespearean version. However, Shakespeare did not write Star Wars, though there could be things in Star Wars that have roots in Shakespeare. So, it all comes full circle.
But that's not what this book is doing IMO, it's not adapting Shakespeare or Shakespearean theater into a modern tale, it is the opposite, it is taking an outside material created without significant input from The Bard and shoehorning that material into Ye Olde Shakespearean style, m'lord. It is a mental exercise in copycatting IMO, it's saying "look how clever I am" without any actual merit, it's just adapting one thing to fit another.
We had Roman history in the LAUSD in elementary school, like 4th grade, but it was very much surface fluff. The amount of high school history class not actually taught is astounding though, I remember my jr high history book was only about half finished by the time we graduated.Also, unfortunately, we're taught Shakespeare at a point where most of us aren't mature enough to handle it. It seems pretty standard across the nation that ninth grade is Romeo and Juliet (though most ninth graders won't see how stupid the two are and think it's a great romance), Julius Caesar is tenth (without, oh, any Roman history to supply any context at all), Macbeth is eleventh (the only one so far that's even remotely appropriate), and twelfth is Hamlet (and maybe King Lear as well for AP). Kids tend to remember Hamlet the best. Why? Because there's an excellent, if condensed, film version starring Mel Gibson (and an even better one with Kenneth Branagh, as well as an older but still good version with Lawrence Olivier). But Macbeth and Hamlet, I've seen both performed many times, and they rank highly in my esteem.
As for Hamlet, Mel Gibson actually came to our high school and talked with students, shot some corresponding material at the school during the run-up to the movie's release, like 6 months ahead of time. We already knew the play on page and I think were shown some if not all of Lawrence Olivier's Hamlet, but when we finally got to see the movie it really connected for the first time. Olivier's Hamlet I remember going over like a lead balloon, it was in black and white, it was unbelievably stagey which made it unapproachable to us. When we saw Gibson's Hamlet, a lot of character motivations came together and made sense.
Your point is right on the money, this content is shoved down our throats when we're simply not equipped to understand its meaning. It appalls me to see teens talk about Romeo & Juliet as a great romance and not recognize the stupidity, although partly that's because of how much it's entered the zeitgeist over the last century, I think.In tenth grade, we had to read Julius Caesar and memorize Marc Antony's speech. It meant nothing to me at the time. Today, I recognize it as a play by possibly the greatest English writer of all time (I'd be willing to make the argument in favor of Milton or a few others), but, even with me somewhat accidentally discovering how awesome Roman history is, the play doesn't hold any significance for me. I memorized the passage without really understanding it, and it was never explained to the class. Now, I'm more concerned with the conscious decision Shakespeare made to include historical inaccuracies in order to allude to other events his original audience would be more familiar with.
BTW, your "the greatest English writer of all time" reminded me of what mediocre American fiction we were taught in school. I think I remember basically just Catcher in the Rye, Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn, and Johnny Tremain - that's it? That's what we want kids to take away from American literature? We try to force them to revere English lit and we either banish or censor a lot American lit from them, and what else is there is too dense to latch on as anything other than a miserable chore, it's shocking when you really think about it.
Oh man, we haaaaated seeing plays in school, whether in person or on the TV. Something about watching others interpret ideas just didn't work for our teenage brains.By contrast, every year the English classes had field trips to see whatever Shakespeare play was being performed by a local company. The same year, I saw A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was an excellent performance. And, despite that not usually being considered Shakespeare's best, it's one of my favorites still. All the Shakespeare plays I love, I love because I've seen great performances of them. I still can't even really get into King Lear because the only time I've seen it was in a dedicated Shakespeare class in college where the professor only showed the BBC versions, and the BBC King Lear is quite awful. I know theoretically that it's on par with Hamlet as Shakespeare's best in the eyes of most scholars, but I prefer Midsummer Night's Dream or one of the cross-dressing comedies (which again, not coincidentally, I've seen performed well).
Anyway, my question still stands, what is the VALUE in this learning that places it above all else in what we consider proper education? Beyond pop culture references like those found in Gilligan's Island and even West Side Story (I now don't remember if they showed that to us in English or in Music Appreciation class), I mean real learning value.
Also, notice how nobody is talking about the sonnets... funny thing, that.
It sounds like your students have a teacher that is engaging them rather than pontification. I wouldn't say our teachers were pontificating most of the time, but they weren't able to really engage either, it'd end up in the middle - trying to coax students to read a verse and then explain back to the rest of the class its meaning, only to get students sound bored trying to figure out the language and then the contextual meanings and regurgitate enough to warrant a passing grade. Let me ask you, how much of your curriculum is Shakespeare? (You said 2 weeks' time, but I guess I'm asking more percentage.) How much Shakespearean foundation do you expect your students to have before they enter your class? I remember Shakespeare was a very significant portion of the English classes in every level of school, hence I'm arguing from the point of it being a major portion of our various grades' curricula.
I guess I'm concerned because it sounds like you have balance but recognize the majority of teachers don't, and also you sound like an advanced-class teacher with students who have been given that leg up to grasp your style easily, unlike the regular and remedial students who get the short end of the education stick and grow up to hate school, failing to recognize that there is a world of literature beyond the trauma they feel when they remember suffering through English classes - and nothing instills more suffering in those people than the idea of Shakespeare, almost to a Pavlovian response.All the plays are fun to teach, mainly because it's fun to watch the students become acquainted with dense material that many came in disliking merely because the author's name inspired terror within them, for which I partially blame other teachers. The high school plays, as Chux pointed out, are pretty standard. R&J is about lust on the rebound. Romeo has just broken up with Rosaline at the beginning of the play and is ripe to transfer those feelings to the next available girl. Juliet dislikes her parents, as so many young girls do, and is immediately attracted to the bad boy, bad only in that he's a member of a rival family. Kids are often very interested in relationships and this far-from-being-a-love-story play is full of commentary on the universality of the human experience regardless of time and place. Julius Caesar is very much about a gang that wants to depose its boss. It starts out with gang members tagging the walls of Rome and later has the characters take turns persuading each other, escalating to turf war. Hamlet is about a boy who doesn't want to do what he's told he's supposed to do. He's comes from a broken home, can't find his footing in the world, has a girlfriend who he feels can't understand him, in short the kind of situation many students are in. Granted these are gross oversimplifications of the stories, but they demonstrate the timeless appeal of the content. And that content has inspired so much other content that has come afterwards. That content has inspired creativity. Creativity that is just as vital to humanity as science and technology, both of which thrive through the infusion of creativity into it. Shakespeare was not the first domino in the sequence and possibly not the biggest, but he was certainly one that tipped over many others.

BOONEVILLE – Northeast Mississippi Community College's football team has produced on the field the last three years under head coach Ricky Smither.
Now, Smither can add two more National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Americans to his resume.
Sophomore punter Jonathan Harrison (6-6, 195) of Belmont and sophomore defensive lineman Lavon Hooks (6-4, 290) of Atlanta, Georgia were named NJCAA All-Americans when the national organization released its list of first, second and honorable mention teams on Wednesday, December 12.
Harrison was named a first-team All-American on the defensive side of the ball while Hooks drew an honorable mention selection from the NJCAA.
Harrison becomes Northeast's first first-team All-American selection for football since Jerry King turned the trick in 1956.
Harrison and Hooks are Northeast's eleventh and twelfth All-Americans in football.
During his sophomore year in Booneville, Harrison ended up tops in the nation with a 41.48 yards per punt average while appearing in all nine games for the Tigers.
Harrison had 48 punts for the Tigers during the season and pinned the opposition deep within its own territory with 12 punts inside the 20-yard line and six more that went for touchbacks.
Harrison also forced six fair catches out of his 48 punts while amassing 1,991 yards.
Harrison led the nation for most of the year in yards per punt average and finished first in the nation in touchbacks.
Harrison's 10 punts inside the 20-yard line were fifth in the nation.
Harrison had seven games with punts over 47 yards including a 56-yard punt against Mississippi Delta Community College, 57-yard punts against Northwest Mississippi and Mississippi Gulf Coast community colleges.
Harrison's long on the year came when the sophomore blasted a 60-yard boot against Holmes Community College during the third week of the season.
Harrison had three games that saw the Northeast sophomore punt seven or more times during a game with the Belmont native kicking seven times against Holmes and Mississippi Gulf Coast and had eight chances in against East Mississippi on October 11.
Against Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Harrison averaged 48.1 yards per kick for his seven punts on the night pinning two kicks inside the 20-yard line and causing three fair catches.
Hooks was honored as the Most Valuable Defensive Lineman in the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC).
Hooks was tied for second in the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XXIII in sacks the 2012 season when the Atlanta native finished with 9.5 sacks for the Tigers.
On the year, Hooks tallied 51 tackles – 18 solo stops and 33 assists. Hooks' 6.4 tackles per game were second on the Tiger roster.
With his 9.5 sacks on the year, Hooks tallied 51 yards against the opposing offense and came away with three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles for the Tigers.
Hooks' 20.5 tackles for loss on the year saw the Northeast sophomore finish second in the nation in the category.
In a November 28 story on JCGridiron.com entitled, "JUCO defensive tackle list is best ever," which featured the top defensive tackles across the country, Hooks was named the top defensive tackle in not only the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) but in entire country.
With the selection, Northeast's football team has its first team since the 1980 team to have two NJCAA All-Americans selected in the same year. During the 1980 season, Kossuth's Paul Rhodes and Morrow, Georgia's Anthony Norman were both selected as All-Americans.
Harrison and Hooks become just the fourth set of All-Americans for the Northeast football program. In addition to the 1980 selection of Rhodes and Norman, 1977 saw Rogersville, Alabama native Larry Parker and Memphis native Barry Todd selected as All-Americans and the 1969 duo of New Albany's Johnny Buskirk and Ripley's Donnie Clayton were also selected in the same year.
Hooks and Harrison's selections also mark the third year in a row that the Northeast football team has produced an All-American. During the 2010 season, offensive lineman Antonio Foster from Valdosta, Georgia was selected as an honorable mention while 2011 saw Tuscumbia, Alabama's Deion Belue honored with honorable mention status.

New Lives for Nazi-Era Bunkers
German Agency Aims to Sell Shelters; Need for Respect
The German agency in charge of property belonging to the state is looking to sell concrete bunkers built during the Nazi era to real-estate developers.
But a number of the bunkers were deliberately built on the sites of synagogues destroyed by the Nazi regime. Finding a respectful yet practical use for the massive shelters today is a challenge.
Of the 150 bunkers held by the Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben, or BIMA, at least four are known to have been built on former synagogue sites. In Frankfurt, for example, there is a bunker on the site once occupied by the Friedberger Anlage synagogue. The sale of that bunker is being negotiated by BIMA and the city. While BIMA is asking €2.8 million ($3.7 million), the future use of the bunker hasn't been determined.
The sale of a bunker built on the site of a former synagogue in the city of Braunschweig in Lower Saxony also is currently being negotiated. BIMA says it can't comment on the sale price since it is still in negotiation with a buyer working on behalf of the local Jewish community, which aims to use it for exhibitions and events for a synagogue nearby.
Finding a use for a former bunker with such a grim historical legacy can be difficult. Some have been turned into memorials. A bunker built on the site of the Siegen synagogue in North-Rhine Westphalia, destroyed on Kristallnacht, a pogrom in November 1938, is now a museum about National Socialism.
Some bunkers on former synagogue sites already have been converted. A bunker in the Hamburg square that once housed the Bornplatz synagogue is home to several Hamburg University faculties, with a memorial marking the site of the destroyed place of worship. Another, on the site of Düsseldorf's destroyed synagogue, was used as a hotel in the years after World War II. Now, the site—the bunker has been removed—houses Handelsblatt, a major business newspaper.
Not all bunkers were built on such sites, including 70 that were the subject of a recent architectural competition scouting for concepts to convert them for civilian use.
However, Germany's bunkers largely date from the Third Reich and some were built with forced labor. After the war, some bunkers left were kept on standby in case of another war or a nuclear disaster. In 2007, authorities took all the bunkers out of service.
Converting bunkers poses challenges: Few windows mean little natural light, poor ventilation and dampness. Concrete walls several yards thick make restructuring the layout—generally rows of small rooms suitable for sheltering civilians and supplies—a daunting and expensive challenge.
On the flip side, above-ground bunkers, rather than those built underground, are often handsomely proportioned, neoclassical structures. Given their concrete walls and roofs, they are soundproof and sturdy enough to add floors on top. Built mainly to protect civilians, they are often in prime inner-city locations.
For bunkers that weren't built on the sites of destroyed synagogues, several examples of conversions already exist. A bunker across from the Deutsches Theater in downtown Berlin, built in 1942 as an air-raid shelter, became a Soviet prison after the war. It also was used to store tropical fruit, and then for a techno club.
In 2003, advertising magnate Christian Boros bought the bunker to house his contemporary-art collection. The conversion took five years, and involved removing the roof, more than 10 feet thick, with a diamond saw, as well as extracting interior walls to make space for the art. Mr. Boros added a penthouse apartment with a roof garden and pool.
Since the bunkers are phenomenally sturdy, building floors on top of them is an option. An example is the Exzenterhaus in Bochum, in western Germany. Fifteen floors have been built on top of a cylindrical bunker near the city's main station. The top three floors have been rented to a legal and an accounting firm, according to Thomas Durchlaub, spokesman for Exzenterhaus Bochum GmbH & Co. KG. He says the city of Bochum sold the bunker for €670,000, but declined to comment on the cost of the conversion.
Property developer Euroboden GmbH next year aims to complete a smaller conversion of an above-ground bunker in Munich's Ungererstrasse, which is set to become office space, three apartments and a penthouse loft. The cost of the conversion is expected to be between €3.5 million and €4 million, says Euroboden's chief executive, Stefan Höglmaier.
Living in a converted World War II bunker isn't for everyone. Buyers tend to be individualists, says Gerd Schmitz, who is running a luxury apartment project in a leafy district of Düsseldorf. The €17 million conversion, called Papillon, is the brainchild of two local investors in their 40s who grew up in the area and played in the bunker as children.
The bunker, which was never completed, offers an "outstanding physical construction shell," says Mr. Schmitz, who plans to cut away parts of the bunker and add new construction to create 24 apartments. The development includes large terraces and a car elevator that allows residents to park on their balconies.
Construction will start in early 2013 and is slated for completion by late 2014. Prices range from €3,000 to over €6,000 per square meter, implying the top-end apartments will cost well over €1 million.

The drawing is in a poor state of conservation due to the application, on torn and patched-up paper, of various materials which have caused swelling and buckling. The head of Christ which can now be seen on the sheet is very similar to the one in The Last Supper and is the result of superimposed layers starting with an extremely fine application of red chalk (still appreciable on the chin, the lips, the nose and the cheek bones) and black chalk (traces of which can be seen on the neck, at the right, on the eyebrows and on the hair at the left), which was then reworked with tempera (on the face and hair) and charcoal (on the hair and bust), as though the drawing had continually been updated with a form of "restoration" to "improve" it, just as happened to the wall painting itself. If the traces of the initial work in red and black chalk (which do not, however, reveal the unequivocal use of the left hand) were truly by Leonardo, then the sheet can be considered as one of the few, possibly the only example of Leonardo's use of crayons for the heads of Christ and the apostles for The Last Supper to which Lomazzo refers. Lomazzo (1584) states that they were "eccellenti e miracolose" (on this statement and the connection with the use of crayons introduced to Italy by Jean Perréal, see Marani in Brambilla and Marani 1999, p. 26 ff.). Lomazzo himself refers to the anecdote about the unfinished head of Christ in The Last Supper and about Leonardo's uncertainties as to how to complete it, as well as the fact that he turned to Bernardo Zenale for advice. Lomazzo tells us (ed. Ciardi 1973) that, to comfort him, Zenale told him he could not possibly have given "maggior divinità e bellezza ad alcuna figura di quella … data a Giacomo Maggiore e Minore" ("greater divinity and beauty to any face … than to those of James the Greater and James the Lesser") and that he should leave the face of Christ in its imperfection.

NEW ALBANY – Residents and visitors to New Albany will be able to drink wine and liquor in a few weeks.
Voters on Tuesday approved legalizing the sale of alcoholic beverages by a 57- to 43-percent margin. Unofficial totals show 1,204 voted for legalization and 905 voted against. Twenty-five affidavit ballots are not included in the totals.
They followed Corinth voters in utilizing a 2012 law that allows county seats and towns of more than 5,000 people to vote separately from their surrounding counties on legalizing wine and spirits if voters in a countywide election have rejected coming out from under the "dry" law.
New Albany had already voted in 2010 to allow the sale of beer and light wine.
"We've had more DUIs, but you've got to keep in mind that we have a full-time DUI officer that came in about the same time," New Albany Police Chief David Grisham said. "You could say some of it's due to the beer, and some is due to stricter enforcement. As far as the establishments that sell beer, we haven't had a lot of problem with those."
Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said he hasn't analyzed statistics but believes DUIs have increased in the county along with domestic violence.
"As the weather warms and people drink more, domestic violence goes up," he said.
Proponents of legalization have touted the move as a boost to business. One building on a downtown corner bore a banner on Tuesday that said, "Future Restaurant when wine/liquor passes! Vote for on March 19th."
"Several people have done presentations in New Albany about what the city needs to do to enhance itself," said retiree M. Lance Phillips. "These people have said the town needs alcohol. It's been told before, but I'm hoping people are actually listening to what the town needs.
"I just think that … it could be an opportunity for New Albany to stand out from surrounding towns."
While sale of liquor is legal both by the bottle in package stores and by the drink in restaurants in most "wet" Mississippi cities and counties, the 2012 law applying only to cities allows local officials to allow both or to limit sales only to restaurants.
Actual wine and liquor sales will not be legal in New Albany until the Board of Aldermen passes an ordinance setting the parameters and until businesses get new licenses from the State Department of Revenue.

Green goods: A smarter dimming switch
By Tom Kessler
Green Right Now
Anyone who has gone to the trouble of installing dimmer switches because they can help cut your energy costs was probably chagrined to learn that they don't work with the early generations of CFL bulbs. Even the newer CFLs that are said to be dimmable often don't play nicely with slider controls — they hum, they buzz or they just don't work at all.
So here's a bit of good news: Leviton Manufacturing is introducing the first slide dimmer specifically designed for use with a wide variety of dimmable CFL bulbs. The company says its Leviton Decora CFL Slide Dimmer optimizes the performance of dimmable CFL bulbs and works with the widest range of dimmable CFL bulbs available.
Leviton says that in auto mode, the new dimmer detects whether the bulb is an incandescent or a dimmable CFL, determines high- and low-end dimming capabilities and adjusts the dimming range accordingly. This feature allows for the fact that dimming varies by bulb manufacturer, type and rating.
"After using standard dimmers, consumers often report such problems as flickering when they dim the lights to lower levels, not being able to turn the lights on when the dimmer is in a dimmed position and limited dimming range when using CFL bulbs with these dimmers," James Sherman, director of residential marketing at Leviton, said in a statement. "With the new Leviton Decora CFL Slide Dimmer, consumers can continue to enjoy the energy-saving benefits of dimmable CFL bulbs, but with improved ambiance and lighting options."

Sound Off for December 6th: What are your thoughts on the custody battle playing out in Utah?
A bitter custody fight is playing out in Utah.
A baby girl is caught between the family who adopted her and the father who never knew she even existed
Terry Achane, the baby's father and a staff sergeant in the Army, says he never knew he had a daughter two years ago, when he was stationed in South Carolina.
His ex-wife.delivered a baby girl in Utah and gave her up for adoption, without his consent.
Achane says his former wife gave the adoption agency a bad address, so they couldn't contact him.
His daughter was adopted by Jared and Kristi Frei and they are the only family the 2-year-old has known since birth.
The agency reportedly told the Frei's there could be problems with the adoption.
A judge has ordered the Frei's to return the child to Achane within 2 months.
Their attorney told ABC news, they believe the district court made some fundamental errors in its decision and they will raise those with the appropriate appellate court.
Achane plans to keep fighting, as well, saying he will do what it takes to keep his daughter.
Do you agree with the decision to return the baby girl to her biological father? Or do you feel it's irresponsible to take the girl away from the only family she's ever known?

The Westerwald Trail zigzags uphill and downhill on its route from the Dill river to the Rhine. Awaiting in the Westerwald forest are dramatic gorges, idyllic valleys, medieval villages with brightly painted houses – and an adventure of Alpine proportions.
The Westerwald forest is bounded by the Rhine, Sieg, Dill and Lahn rivers between Cologne and Frankfurt. It the largest single expanse of woodland in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Westerwald Trail runs right through the heart of this beautiful landscape. From east to west, it traverses eight distinct natural environments: over 16 day-long stages, the Westerwald Trail runs from the Hessian town of Herborn via Fuchskaute hill (657m), the highest elevation in the Westerwald. The Krombachtal dam and the Holzbach gorge are other highlights along the trail, which leads on past the Westerwald Lakes and the Stöffelpark (the largest basalt quarry and fossil site in the Westerwald) towards Bad Marienberg and Hachenburg. On the route to Waldbreitbach, which takes you through the idyllic Wiedtal valley, you'll come across Marienstatt Monastery and the area of Marienthal, as well as the legacy of cooperative pioneer F. W. Raiffeisen, before the Westerwald Trail comes to an end in Bad Hönningen/Rhine. Adventurous walkers will enjoy stage 13 of the tour, which offers a genuine challenge. Close to Hölderstein, in the foothills of the Middle Rhine slate mountains, some 80 metres have to be climbed over a length of only 300 metres using climbing aids, stirrups, spikes, three ladders and a bridge. This via ferrata can only be tackled using proper climbing equipment and is done so at your own risk.

Roben Farzad, my old buddy from BusinessWeek, takes a look at Tesla's (TSLA) amazing rise:
And just like that, Tesla Motors sports a $20 billion market value.
That's a mind-boggling milestone for a 10-year-old car marker currently targeting delivery of just 21,000 luxury sedans this year. While Tesla has one percent of Ford's (F) U.S. monthly sales, the electric car company already has nearly a third of Ford's $64 billion market capitalization. Investors value Tesla at roughly 41 percent of GM's (GM) $48 billion market value. Indeed, Tesla is now worth more than Suzuki Motor Corp., Mazda Motor Corp., and Fiat SpA, the majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Tesla shares, which are up 390 percent this year, change hands at an otherworldly 260 times estimated 2013 earnings, versus 10 for General Motors and 11 for Ford.
Investor's Business Daily notes that the number of charging stations for electric cars is set to increase exponentially:
The number of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles will soar to nearly 200,000 worldwide by 2020, up from just 1,800 or so last year, says research firm IHS Automotive.
Japan is home to half of today's fast-charging stations, and it will continue to utilize CHAdeMO technology, says IHS Automotive. Japan began deploying CHAdeMO, roughly translated as "charge for moving," in 2009.
Germany is set on using CCS (combined charging system), while Tesla Motors is pushing its proprietary Supercharger system in the U.S., and has made adding more such stations a priority
By one measure, Tesla's volatility has increased, even as its stock price has surged. Its 120-day volatility, which measures its price swings during the past six months of trading, has increased to 77 today, up from 37 on March 28. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has a 120-day volatility of 12.
Even a broad-market selloff hasn't been able to slow Tesla down. Its shares have gained 0.6% to $165.31, while GM has dropped 3.6% to $33.65 and Ford has fallen 3.2% to $15.89. Toyota Motor (TM) has dropped 0.9% to $124.08.

We all know the fact that pobre Amreeka must attack and destroy a Muslim country ever six years. It's going to be Fakistan this time and with Full consent of the man who got his wife killed, took over her party and is now . . .

My dear Ali:
In short, they want to occupy Pakistan without bothering to conquer it and put a puppet government here to do it's bidding, as they have in Afghanistan and Iraq. Musharraf is gone and the popular perception is that the US has finally managed to install a government of its choice under the garb of democracy, its latest weapon, shamelessly forgetting how they used to support dictatorships to fighting communism. The re-visitation of its earlier weapons, the IMF and the World Bank with their inhuman conditions, through which America creates perpetual economic dependence, is already upon us. Soon food will also become a weapon: Kissinger said years ago, "Control the food and you control the nations." Is it symbolically significant that the running dog of US neo-imperialist capitalism was chief guest at the new president's oath-taking ceremony?

Wow. I've had this account for months and had forgot about it. I had tried keeping a diary before and failed miserably. Hopefully this one will be better.
On a lighter note, Nautilus is getter quite usable. I use it exclusivly on my desktop, but then... I'm me. Today, the ability to auto-arrange the icons on the desktop was removed. I don't agree with that at all. I didn't like the way that it was implemented before, but I liked it better than not having it at all. I think that the auto-arrange for the desktop should allign the icons to the left side of the screen. It would even suffice if they had a "Snap to Grid" feature like the Mac does. Every OS in the world (that I know of anyway), has a feature that lets them, some more than others, arrange the desktop. Oh well. That's my rant for the day I suppose.

Bitcoin's trading at about $75 today on Mt. Gox, the largest bitcoin exchange, a 72% plunge from its high of $266 on April 10. While some have called it a Ponzi scheme, it was really just a bubble–and a big one.
Here's a chart of bitcoin, courtesy of Clark Moody's website.
Compare that to the bubble in silver, caused by the Hunt Brother's attempt to corner the market.
From the end of December 1979 through Jan. 18, 1980, silver gained nearly 600% to $40.50. By May 23, it had dropped 70% to just $12.05. It was still more than double its price from the beginning of the year, however.
The lesson for investors: When you see something quintuple its price in a matter of months, take some profits.

Static code analysis, or SCA, can be described as the analysis of whole-program source code without the execution of that program. A number of interpretations and even misconceptions about this technology and how it impacts or benefits you, the developer, have emerged over time.
Thankfully, there is also a lot of information about the many benefits SCA provides, from faster project execution, to better source code at check-in, to less costly development cycles and shorter time-to-market. In this whitepaper, we dispel some of the myths about SCA, and provide code examples to illustrate how SCA contributes to better code throughout the SDLC.

I'm scared.
I'm scared.
Anneliese's supposed symptoms of possession began in 1968. Anneliese was a 16-year-old high school student. The symptoms were convulsions and they were eventually diagnosed as epilepsy by a neurologist. Anneliese Michel took medicine for her condition and continued her life to the best of her ability. She finished high school and went on to college, where she studied to become a teacher. Apparently, the medicine was not helping her much. Her problems only got worse.
Over time, Anneliese Michel complained of seeing disturbing visions while saying her prayers. Later, evil voices giving her commands followed. Finally, Anneliese began showing an aversion to religious iconography. An older woman, a friend of the Michel family, noticed this while on a pilgrimage with Anneliese. She said that Anneliese smelled "hellishly bad" and took her to see some priests. Many of them said Anneliese needed a doctor. However, one eventually said Anneliese needed an exorcism and an exorcism was eventually granted.
It is certain that medicine was not saving Anneliese Michel from whatever tormented her, but there is no questioning that things got worse for her when she gave herself over to exorcism. She allegedly urinated and defecated on the floor frequently, also licking up her own urine. She ate insects, growled at religious icons and sat under her kitchen table barking for two days. Surely, her family was afraid of her, but a medical professional probably would not have left her under the table for two days or let her starve to death, which is eventually what she did.
Anneliese Michel died of dehydration and malnutrition on July 1, 1976. The 23-year-old woman weighed 68 pounds at the time of her death. Josef Michel (her father), Anna Michel and the two exorcists were eventually charged with negligent homicide. During the trial, evidence of the possession worked both for and against the defense. Forty-two of the exorcisms were audio-recorded and there were various pictures of a seriously ill-looking, bruised and sore-covered Anneliese. Anneliese is horrifying in these tapes which works for the defense that she was possessed, but is certainly not conclusive. If nothing else, the tapes made it clear that Anneliese was seriously ill and no one was making her eat. It is certain that possessed or not, Anneliese should have been cared for better.
There is no way to prove or disprove supernatural occurrences, such as exorcisms. That makes it difficult to know what really happened to Ms. Michel. However, it is possible to prove that there is some evidence that epileptics are at an increased risk of displaying symptoms of schizophrenia and it is has been posited that Michel suffered from dissociative personality disorder and schizophrenia. That, combined with her religious background, could easily account for the events leading to her death.
I just felt sorry for a very sick child in the hands of people who didn't know WTF they were doing.
I'm not sleeping tonight
And it sounds like she smoked a ton. That shite is just bad for you.

This is what it has been like in WI for the last 3 months.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective I can't just sit inside by the home fire all winter. Cabin fever gets to me rather quickly. So every day I'm out there no matter the weather.
Usually, by mid January there at a least few early morning gobbles which of course calm and exhilarate a turkey hunter's spirit all at once. Finally on 2/9/14 Sunday morning at sunrise the very first gobble of 2014 rang out in the clear frigid air. Enough to put a smile any turkey hunter's face even if it was 10 below zero.
Gobbles prove spring is coming, at least eventually.
Anyone else hearing some gobbles?

Montgomery Foundation Creates Fund for Faculty Support
Southwestern is proud to announce the third in a trio of remarkable gifts that the law school has received as part of the New Era Campaign: The Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Foundation has donated $1 million to create the Faculty Research and Retention Fund at Southwestern. This generous leadership gift provides essential support for faculty research, innovation, recruitment and retention.
Dean Emeritus Bryant Garth, who is also President of the Montgomery Foundation, was instrumental in establishing the new fund. During his tenure as dean at Southwestern, he recognized the need for substantial financial support "that will help the law school attract highly gifted teachers and scholars to join our vibrant intellectual community."
In announcing the gift, Dean Austen Parrish said, "As they perform meaningful scholarship and translate their research into policy and law, Southwestern's faculty will now have crucial additional resources for travel and collaborative exchanges with other top legal scholars."
The Montgomery Foundation has a long history of philanthropy and educational endowments and has established facilities, programs and academic chairs at some of the nation's most prominent institutions. Among them are the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Professorship in Public Interest Law at Stanford Law School, the Thomas F. Geraghty Fund for Juvenile Justice at Northwestern Law School, and the Montgomery House at Dartmouth for visiting scholars.
Harle Montgomery, who passed away in 2010, was an enthusiastic supporter of the law school for many years and through the foundation provided a seed grant of $100,000 to Southwestern's Immigration Law Clinic in 2006.
"We are grateful for this tremendous leadership gift from the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Foundation," Dean Parrish said, "and for Dean Garth's help in creating this historic fund that will enable Southwestern to support and further cultivate our outstanding faculty."

Brennan: Our critics are helping al-Qaeda
posted at 9:30 am on February 9, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Wait — before I write this post, I want to give a senior Obama administration official a word first:
With Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's point in mind, let's turn to the conclusion of the op-ed written by John Brennan, Barack Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser, on the merits of public discourse and dissent regarding the most vital issue of our time — keeping the nation safe from attack by terrorists, emphasis mine:
Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda. Terrorists are not 100-feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill. They will, however, be dismantled and destroyed, by our military, our intelligence services and our law enforcement community. And the notion that America's counterterrorism professionals and America's system of justice are unable to handle these murderous miscreants is absurd.
Gee, isn't that remarkably similar to the type of thing the Left accused the Bush administration of saying? In fact, that's exactly what Clinton's remarks were intended to address. The motivation of dissent matters less than its relevance and truth — and the truth is that our nation's counterterrorist professionals were not consulted in the handling of Abdulmutallab until after the Department of Justice forced a delay of weeks in getting information from the EunuchBomber. DNI Dennis Blair and FBI Director Robert Mueller didn't get a call until afterwards, and the High-Value Interrogation Groups (HIGs) hadn't yet been commissioned almost a year after Obama shut down their predecessor interrogation groups.
So who conducted the interviews? Local FBI agents with no particular knowledge of al-Qaeda's network in Yemen. They conducted a 50-minute interview without any of the context needed for real intel extraction. And that's not a criticism of the FBI agents; it's a criticism of the Obama administration for not having the HIGs before last week after decommissioning the previous groups in February 2009, and of the decision by Eric Holder to read Abdulmutallab his rights before letting the CIA have a crack at him.
Now Brennan wants to screech about patriotism and how being held accountable for a series of screw-ups somehow makes the people demanding that accountability the handmaidens of Osama bin Laden. If Brennan can't handle accountability, maybe he should resign his position and let someone else with more testicular fortitude — and a better understanding of representative democracy — take his place.
Update: Byron York deconstructs Brennan's straw men:
Now, however, those critics are questioning whether Brennan is trying to score a few political points of his own. First, Brennan supports the administration's position, which most critics find absurd, that the initial 50-minute interrogation of Abdulmutallab — all the Justice Department would allow before he was read his Miranda rights — was somehow adequate. "Immediately after the failed Christmas Day attack," Brennan writes, "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was thoroughly interrogated and provided important information."
Second, Brennan writes that, "The most important breakthrough occurred after Abdulmutallab was read his rights…" What Brennan does not say is that that breakthrough reportedly occurred several weeks after Abdulmutallab was read his rights. In the intervening period, apparently, investigators got little out of the suspect.
Third, Brennan sets up a fairly obvious straw man when he writes that, "Cries to try terrorists only in military courts lack foundation." The argument over the treatment of Abdulmutallab is an argument specifically over the treatment of an al Qaeda soldier who was caught trying to blow up an airliner — not whether terrorists should be tried only in military courts. As far as I know, the critics who believe the administration made a serious mistake with Abdulmutallab also believe that there are other cases — involving financial or logistical support of terrorism, for example — that are well suited to the civilian court system.
Finally, Brennan repeats President Obama's argument that the Bush administration's treatment of about Richard Reid justifies the Obama administration's handling of Abdulmutallab. "Would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid was read his Miranda rights five minutes after being taken off a plane he tried to blow up," Brennan writes. "The same people who criticize the president today were silent back then." Critics find the argument weak because when Reid was apprehended, in December 2001, the institutions to handle suspects like him did not exist. Should Bush have put Reid before a military commission? A high-value detainee interrogation group? Send him to Guantanamo? None of that existed in the early months of the war on terror.
Update II: My good friend Scott Johnson at Power Line has an excellent take on Brennan's desperate flailing.
