Congressional leaders from both political parties are giving President Bush a matter of months to prove that the Iraq war effort has turned a corner, with September looking increasingly like a decisive deadline.
"Many of my Republican colleagues have been promised they will get a straight story on the surge by September," said Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.). "I won't be the only Republican, or one of two Republicans, demanding a change in our disposition of troops in Iraq at that point. That is very clear to me.""September is the key," said Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), a member of the House Appropriations subcommittee that funds defense. "If we don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, September is going to be a very bleak month for this administration."
"A short-term supplemental funding bill is no substitute for Congress acting quickly to provide the resources needed for our troops," Portman told The Politico at OMB headquarters in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "It would only irresponsibly kick the can down the road, cause inefficiency and disruption in DOD budgeting, and create uncertainty in military planning."
"The military has said repeatedly that the current delays in funding for our troops is already having negative consequences, including disruption to operations, decreasing efficiency and potentially degrading the readiness of troops awaiting deployment," he said. "We can debate how much harm is being caused, but our military commanders are sending a clear message and Congress needs to listen, put the politics aside and get our troops the support and flexibility they need."
CongressDaily PM reported yesterday afternoon that key Senate Democrats continue to oppose short-term rationing schemes, specifically reporting: "A House-backed plan to send President Bush a supplemental spending bill to fund the war only through July is not likely to get through the Senate, an aide to Senate Majority Leader Reid said today. 'It's not anything that will fly in the Senate,' spokesman Jim Manley said."
A series of short-term supplemental appropriations will require the Department of Defense to shift funds from established accounts to accounts related to the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq in order to make ends meet. This constant juggling of funds between accounts is both disruptive and wasteful. Valuable training exercises will be delayed, and it will be necessary to rob the Air Force and Navy to pay the Army and Marine Corps, imposing incalculable costs on Air Force and Navy readiness.Finally, one-month or two-month supplemental appropriations bills are inconsistent with an orderly legislative process, and this could have damaging effects on the military. Congress's history of inefficiency suggests that it is all but certain that Members will fail to enact a series of short-term supplemental appropriations bills in a timely fashion. This failure could cause significant funding gaps that, at some point, would become large enough to preclude the Department of Defense from shifting funds between accounts in the way described above, leaving troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere forced to "stand down" for lack of funding. Congress's responsibility to legislate in an orderly fashion is a serious one because the consequences of failing to do so can be so damaging. When the stakes involved are the lives and well-being of U.S. troops, Congress needs to do better.
and now simply note that political reality is forcing a compromise with Republicans.
The idea is to keep this story in the news, keep the public focused on Iraq, and show that they are trying to get the President to change course.
If the Republicans try to blame failure on the Democrats, that's DOA. Bush's approval is at 28%, Congress' approval is rising, there is a surge in American deaths in Iraq and the war continues to grow in unpopuarity.
The surge is starting to be treated as a joke by a lot of people.
without allowing the Republicans to characterize them as cheese eating surrender monkeys
Or did he think that statistics and metrics will suffice to prove the surge is working?
I'm suprised Petraeus gave himself such a short deadline. Or did he think that statistics and metrics will suffice to prove the surge is working? I think the pols and the public will be expecting "one month without a car bomb headline" as opposed to "murders down 50%.
"…those … on the left, tend to be the types who believe that short-term white lies or rhetorical dodges are a practical—indeed, a moral—tool that in the end brings about the greater good, and so is justified ……when it comes to memes that they [the media] continue to push even after they have been thoroughly and completely problematized or outright debunked, then we can safely say that their intent has become something far more objectionable than merely selling newspapers.… they, and many of their supporters… are willing to do anything and everything—including lying (which they would reframe as finessing the narrative)—to achieve their ends. That is, they have stated in no uncertain terms that lying in the service of larger truths is not a political sin—and in fact, it is, in the perverse logic of arrogant, presumptuous, illiberal hacks, something of a badge of honor. Muddying the narrative waters, obstructing progress, keeping their political opponents constantly on the defensive: these are the tactics of "progressivism," and are geared toward forcing their opponents to surrender the fight for wont of being able to elevate their own voices above the din.…they [the media] are blinded by ideological hatred; but they have taken to channeling that hatred into a willful attempt to control the electorate and shape public debate in a way that rises to the level of intentional advocacy.
"Charles Krauthammer:It is beyond brazen to think that one can get away with inventing not ancient history but what everyone saw and read with their own eyes just a few years ago. And yet sometimes brazenness works.—Which is true, provided the proper substructures are in place, beginning with a cynical advocacy media still holding itself out as a "neutral" purveyor of objectively rendered fact, even as it repeats canards, falsehoods, or engages in propaganda by omission or commision; a culture that relies on said media for its information, generally content to follow unfolding history in soundbite form; a poisoned partisan atmosphere, coupled with a willingness on the part of certain key figures aligned against the Administration actively to promote narratives [Yes!] they know to be either misleading (in the case of, say, constantly revisiting the "Mission Accomplished" photo op to suggest Bush assumed a victory that anti-war agitators are invested in preventing) or downright false (Bush "lied" about WMDs, he "misled" Congress into war, he tied Saddam to 911, he called the Iraq threat "imminent," etc.)—all so they can appease their base and take advantage of a war fatigue among the American electorate that they themselves have worked tirelessly to foster; and an ethos wherein the benign materialist descriptions that inform postmodern thought are incorrectly marshaled to form a rickity and unsound philosophical skeleton that underlies contemporary ideas concerning epistemology. There is a complicity and a duplicity to the entire cultural fraud, the most frightening part of which is the eagerness of so many "progressives" to will certain "truths" into power merely by the force of rhetoric, be it a reliance on repetition, denial, obfuscation, or an artificial "consensus" that gets its power from the willingness of those who hold to it to pretend to believe in the narrative upon which is based—rather than to believe in the power of that narrative to achieve an end that they consider so important that they are justified in waging a rhetorical war of "truthiness" in the service of what they consider larger and more important "Truths." Combine those ingredients, and you have a notion of "history" that is so fluid as to be meaningless. It matters not that some Democratic presidential aspirants, for instance, voted for the war initially. What matters now is, how well are they able to walk back that support—which consists of perfunctory mea culpas followed by scapegoating of all those who "misled" them into their initial position (carefully bracketing out those on their side of the political aisle who may have influenced them), and finally, of a rewriting of events to form a convenient, plausible narrative that they can pass off to the American electorate that at once forgives them and demonizes their political opponents.
It is beyond brazen to think that one can get away with inventing not ancient history but what everyone saw and read with their own eyes just a few years ago. And yet sometimes brazenness works.
One reason Bush's approval continues to plummet
this has the potential, if pursued, of putting them back in the minority status for a very, very long time if failure in Iraq and/or Afghanistan can be convincingly (or not so convincingly) linked to their obvious 'slow bleed' strategy involving funding for the troops.
Why are you suggesting that Democrats do exactly what you've just been whining about them doing?
Harun, the surge was not Petraeus' idea anyways. It was architected in AEI. It is possible that Petraeus himself is not so sure if a surge (any kind of surge, even with 100K troops) will help in the long run. He will probably give up after 6 months so that the military can wash its hands off the Iraq mess and leave it to the politicians to handle the mess from September onwards...Expect even shriller calls for troop withdrawal post-September
What the President wants, and may get, is a peace with honor moment
"…the Right does not respect the truth, like them or not, the Left blogs do."
The President *did* change course. This "change course" rhetoric is obviously not what the Democrats really want or wanted. They have to be seen as opposing the war as they have from the beginning, from public statements that Allawi was a "puppet" to predictions of disaster from the beginning because it was *always* an element of faith that we could not win, war is always bad, never solves anything, and is never justified. Faith, not objective observation.
And when the "not pretty" part happens it is utterly despicable that the Democrats will try to blame a failure they've been working for since 2003 on the Republicans or Bush. It's not OKAY to do something that you KNOW will result in a blood bath and excuse it all with a "it's not our fault." It's abhorrent and despicable.
If you believe that this is what both the Democrats and Administration intend to do then you have a moral duty to make sure that they do not follow this course. You have an individual moral duty.

Two Indian cos in pact with World Bank
Our Bureau
Clean technologies
The first agreement is with the Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) technology project, which aims to improve the thermal performance of the brick-manufacturing units in select clusters.
The FaL-G project is the other initiative that intends to replace environmentally damaging burnt clay building bricks with fly ash brick, which is manufactured using industrial wastes/by-products.
Hyderabad , Aug. 11
The World Bank, as trustee of the Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF), recently signed two agreements with two Indian companies to promote technologies in the building material industry - one utilises a more energy efficient kiln to produce burnt clay bricks, and the other replaces burnt clay bricks with fly ash bricks which are manufactured without the use of thermal energy.
The first is the Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) technology project, which aims to improve the thermal performance of the brick-manufacturing units in select clusters, especially in the States of Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
Technology and Action for Rural Advancement (TARA), the agency which provides the VSBK technology in the country, intends to set up about 126 VSBK plants within two to three years through entrepreneurs. The nearly 4 lakh tonnes of greenhouse gas emission reductions generated by the project over 10 years will be purchased by CDCF.
TARA, the social enterprise arm of the Development Alternatives Group, New Delhi, will be the implementing agency for the project.
Fly ash bricks
The FaL-G project is the other initiative that intends to replace environmentally damaging burnt clay building bricks with fly ash brick, which is manufactured using industrial wastes/by-products.
The project will facilitate the setting up of about 100 micro-industrial plants in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh to manufacture fly ash bricks using the FaL-G technology.
Mr N. Kalidas, Executive Director of Eco-Carbon and founder director of INSWAREB (Institute for Solid Waste Research and Ecological Balance), Visakhapatnam, said, "With the World Bank's assistance in fetching carbon revenues, entrepreneurs would generate much more enthusiasm, contributing to the rapid proliferation of the technology to meet our company's vision." CDCF will purchase 6 lakh tonnes of greenhouse gas reductions over a 10-year period from the FaL-G project. The FaL-G project will deliver community benefits as well.
The construction sector in India is considered one of the most carbon intensive sectors representing about 17 per cent of India's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, roughly equal to 17 crore tonnes 170 million tons of carbon dioxide CO2 emissions per year.

Rosa Bryndis
…thrown into the deep end of the fashion world, Danish / Icelandic design duo Rosa Bryndis are working hard to hold their ground with a unique take on dressing the modern woman.
How did you get into fashion?
We must admit that we have been quite lucky. It all began when a friend introduced us to an event manager from San Francisco, who planned on having a joint event during Copenhagen Fashion Week 2011. The event contained guerilla dining, music and fashion, a whole new concept that aimed to open Copenhagen's eyes to new concepts. We were picked to show our collection, which was almost non-existent at that time, and spent all summer producing and learning. We were practically getting our dream served on a silver platter and were quickly tossed into the hectic world of fashion.
Where are you from? School? Culture? Region?
Bryndis is Icelandic but moved to Copenhagen when she was accepted to The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture. Rosa lived in the suburbs before moving to Copenhagen with her parents during Sixth Form College. We are definitely city girls, and love the atmosphere and energy in Copenhagen. Regarding culture, the thought about a god is very comforting, but actually not a subject we have discussed that much.
How did you define your particular style or approach to fashion?
We are actually two very different people - also regarding fashion. We however share a common fascination in architecture and admire how massive constructions can seem light and sculptural. These are the main keys words in our process of designing, and we enjoy working with lines, shapes and dimensions.
What has influenced your approach? (Books, films, people, events)
We like finding inspiration in elements that lay far from fashion, in order to create collections that are unique and 100% our own. We always use a different architect's work to influence each collection, and then carry over key trims and signature details.
What problems have you faced as an up & coming designer?
One of the toughest things in Denmark at the moment is to get our favorite stores to take on our collections. We have received a dozen rejections, and simply do not understand why the stores are not willing to give new brands a chance. Off course we understand the economic and logical arguments for having well known brands in stores, but we would just wish that more of them would try us out.
Tell us about how you run your business.
In order to run Rosa Bryndis while we are still studying, we work at the same time at a home for old people and take on other small jobs on the side. We both used to work in fashion stores, but wished for jobs where the relation between people went beyond salesperson to customer.
The old peoples' home, called 'The Castle', in many ways offered us a job with meaning and suited our schedule well. It is indeed at hard job; we love and hate it at the same time, but the people we work with are warm and appreciative, and we never go from the Castle without smiles on our faces. There's something very life-affirming about working with old people, and their histories and stories are always interesting.
With our company we basically do everything ourselves from accounting to pack shots, and accept any help we can get pro bono. Rosa does the business part which Bryndis is not that interested in, and Bryndis makes all the pack shots, which Rosa thinks is really boring. We both design and handle most of the pratical tasks individually but in collaboration. We always help each other and can take over one anothers tasks if needed.
Luckily people around us are always willing to help, and in return our philosophy is to help those who once were in our position when we were brand new in the industry. We work hard, many hours a day and are driven by all of our successes.
What makes the high-street/fast fashion brands so powerful, what are your thoughts?
The thing with fast fashion brands is that they follow exactly the same fashion tendencies that the big brands develop, copy them and sell them at 1/5 of the price. Sometimes you cannot even see the difference, because they might be manufactured at the same place.
In these times a general consumer pattern is to purchase cheap basic items, such as skinny jeans from Cheap Monday, and then combine those with more exclusive items. Students especially cannot afford only designer items, and the fast fashion brands are a very compatible alternative. This off course makes the world a lot harder for smaller brands such as ourselves, and high street stores are no longer a bummer to wear, because some of the items are actually incredibly fashionable and well made.
Do you think it would be easier being a designer in another country? Why is that and where would be easier?
This is an interesting question. In terms of size, Denmark is a small country where words travel fast. The selection of good quality Danish fashion magazines is small, so it might be easier to get a small feature. However, Denmark may be too small? Maybe designers in larger contries, such as the UK, have a better opportunity to capture a larger flow of customers? But then, there would also be more competition. We really don't have a certain answer, but we love being designers in Denmark, and our items have been very popular abroad.
If you had to move to an up-and-coming fashion capital, what would it be and why?
We both fell we love with Paris during an inspirational trip and have been in love since. That city just oozes of charisma and charm, with a culture that lays far from ours. Dining out and having a beer on weekdays is a common thing, which is very expensive in Copenhagen. The energy just seems very different from what we are used to, it can be hard to describe. We guess one can recognize that feeling if they have been to lovely Paris.
What is the style of the city you live in?
The style in Copenhagen is very diverse, yet very alike, if this makes sense. We have all kinds of different types, from the punks with black boots and mohawks, to the fashionable ladies in fur and black Louboutin stilettoes. At the moment, a common trend is to combine old with new - cheap with expensive - and when a trend sets in almost everybody follows the beat.
Do you feel that the school you study at dictates your style?
In sixth form college yes, but not currently. We wear what we want and are not really bothered if people fancy it or not, as long as we feel stylish and comfortable - and sometimes only comfortable. We guess our personal style is always under development, and influenced by the fashion tendencies surrounding us, but we do not let others dictate what we should wear… unless we really think one another is wearing something hideous!

I don't think that is necessarily true, we have laws to protect younger people from this type of thing.

Recently, I was talking to a college professor who was complaining about the multitude of ways in which Linux works on various distributions. He was complaining that one distribution of Linux put a particular file in one place, and another distribution put a file in another place. He said it was hard for him to remember where each distribution put each file.
If this were a "normal user," I would have simply advised staying with one particular distribution instead of going from distro to distro, but in the professor's case, he could not enjoy that luxury because his students were allowed to use different distributions. This type of inconsistency also affects systems administrators, and even regular users as they encounter different distributions of GNU/ Linux in various places.

Per rotoworld (and other sources)
Grady Sizemore is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day after straining his back while fielding grounders in the outfield two weeks ago.
Here we go again. Sizemore was cleared last month to resume baseball activities following offseason knee surgery, and he evidently hurt his back while rehabbing his knee. It's a big blow to the Indians and yet another physical malady to add to Sizemore's laundry list of ailments. While Sizemore is out, the Tribe will likely shift Michael Brantley over to center field while giving Fred Lewis, Felix Pie, Aaron Cunningham, Ryan Spilborghs and others a shot in left field.
Blech. At least it gives us a slightly extended look at Cunningham/Spils.

A great idea for a recipe from the farmers market came from Hyattsville resident and mother-of-five Heidi Schmidt — homemade pizzas.
Schmidt, who often comes to the market not only to pick up fruits and vegetables, but to check out the work of local artists, said Thursday night her kids would dine on individualized pizzas.
"Everyone will put on their own toppings," she said. "Or they'll make one big pizza and put their preferred toppings on a certain side."
She bought her fresh pizza dough from The Three Brothers on Kenilworth Avenue and said after dinner the family would nosh on fresh fruit, like peaches.
She loves coming to Riverdale to support the market, the vegetable and fruit farmers, native plant vendors, artists and the folks from ECO City Farms.

NORMAN — Reggae, metal, country, Americana, blues, R&B, Latin, electronic, psychedelic, pop, ambient, DJ, hip-hop: Norman Music Festival has it all.
With over 200 bands performing in the sixth annual urban, indie music festival April 25-27 in Downtown Norman, NMF Chair Steven White said the free event highlights a range of local talent.
"I do believe that there is a music scene in Norman that's different than what you see anywhere else. It's different than what you see in Dallas and its different than what you see in Oklahoma City," White said. "There's always a good group of regular bands — whether they're playing at the Opolis or they're playing at The Deli or they're playing at The Bluebonnet — there's just such a thriving force of good musicians who are here. And then underneath that, in the underbelly of that, there's always these new bands that are coming up.
"It's a very creative community. So the opportunity to raise the flag for these bands, to showcase these bands, to let people see this vibrant music scene — I think it adds value to our community. Yes, we call ourselves the City of Festivals and there's a lot of things we do to bring people in, but really with the Norman Music Festival we're bringing people in to show-off the musical talent that we have right here. The musical talent that we have is thick and rich."
Alex Larrea, guitarist for DEERPEOPLE, a psychedelic pop band based out of Stillwater, Okla., performing this year at NMF, said NMF was critical in establishing the band's credentials and confidence when they were first starting off.
The group formed in 2009 with bandmates Larrea, Brennan Barnes, Julian Shen, Jordan Bayhylle, Derek Moore and Kendall Looney first performed at the third NMF in 2010 as the Opolis stage headliner.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- As the Vols continue workouts for Saturday's Memphis game, several players are listed as day-to-day.
Defensive back Marsalis Teague continues to work his way back from turf toe. Derek Dooley also says that kicker Daniel Lincoln will to be day-to-day. Lincoln has missed the past few games dealing with a groin injury.
Montori Hughes is dealing with an injured ankle. He has been slowed by the injury, but he's expected to play against the Tigers.
Linebacker Herman Lathers (back spasms) was in a red non-contact jersey Tuesday during practice, but he's expected to play as well.
Defensive linemen Marlon Walls and Ben Martin have not played this year and aren't expected too, as both of them are recovering from Achilles' injuries.

Brent Troy Bartel could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The 39-year-old Bartel has a court hearing scheduled for Wednesday in Tarrant County, just west of Dallas.
Bartel called 911 on Dec. 12, 2012, and said he had shed "innocent blood," and etched the pentagram on his son because it was "a holy day," according to a recording of the call. It is not clear to which faith he was referring.
Police say Bartel smeared the boy's blood on the front doorway of his home.
Bartel remained jailed Monday on a $500,000 bond.

Governor Brown Signs Workers' Compensation Overhaul Bill
California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that makes changes to the state's worker's compensation system. The changes were part of a compromise between labor unions and businesses.
The law is designed to increase benefits to injured workers while reducing workers' compensation costs for employers. It passed the legislature on a bipartisan vote despite some lawmakers' complaints that there was little time to discuss it.
Governor Brown made two stops to tout the new law; one in San Diego and the other in Burbank. He says changes are needed because the cost of insurance has risen from $15 billion to $19 billion in the past two years. It's estimated to increase an additional 12 percent in the coming months.
The Governor says the law will increase permanent disability benefits to workers by 30-percent while decreasing insurance losses to businesses by close to one billion dollars.
Some attorneys who represent injured workers say they don't like the new law. They say it will limit litigation, which could mean fewer benefits for their clients.

Robert W. Wood, Contributor
I focus on taxes and litigation.
This isn't a world ending prediction, but it seems staggering all the same. It was bad enough when we learned that 30 million taxpayers face alternative minimum tax (AMT) right now. Now triple that number and add another 10 million.
The AMT can drive up your tax bill much more quickly—and arbitrarily—than a tax rate increase. For many individuals, AMT is considerably more important than the endless debates about top tax rates. Who exactly is warning that 100 million people will be impacted this filing season? The Commissioner of the IRS, that's who.
In fact, Acting Commissioner of the IRS Steven Miller warned in this letter that if Congress fails to extend the AMT patch before Dec. 31st:
If you think this sounds preposterous, think again. Like taxpayers, the IRS hates Congressional inactivity and the uncertainty and last minute fixes it foments. Congress isn't making the IRS' work any easier.
The AMT was enacted in 1969 to catch fat cats claiming large and seemingly obscure special kinds of tax deductions. As the years passed the AMT took on a life of its own. Today, the AMT has grown to cover almost everything. See 10 Things To Know About Taxes On Damages.
And predicting how AMT works isn't easy. You can't eyeball your exposure. You compute regular tax and AMT and pay whichever is higher. It truly is an alternative tax system.
The IRS Commissioner isn't the only one who's worried. A Congressional Research Service report (RL30149) makes the dire prediction that 30 million taxpayers–one out of every five–will be hit by AMT in 2012. Want more sobering numbers? Just chart this progression:
Congress acted in December of 2010 with a two-year patch that covered only 2010 and 2011. A quick fix for the AMT would be another patch for 2012 and 2013. That would be better than nothing. We can't expect too much right now.
But we clearly need more extensive AMT relief. For most of us, the practical dollar effects of AMT are far more than a 5% rate spread. Besides, AMT sometimes seems arbitrary, as where successful plaintiffs in lawsuits pay AMT on fees paid to their lawyers. See Three Rules For Hiring Contingent Fee Lawyers.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
Your doctor will ask you to describe your chest pain and any other symptoms. Ideally, a family member or close friend should accompany you when you go for medical treatment. This person can help to provide your doctor with valuable information about your symptoms and medical history if you are unable to do so. It is also important to give your doctor a list of the names and dosages of the prescription and nonprescription medications that you are taking. If you don't have a list already prepared, just scoop the medicines into a nearby bag or purse and bring them with you to the hospital.
Your doctor will suspect that you are having a heart attack based on your symptoms, your medical history and your risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To confirm the diagnosis, he or she will do:
Additional tests may be needed, including:

Architecture for Humanity Sponsoring a Playground Development Competition
Go Play Project is an international non-profit organization that builds playgrounds in developing countries. Sponsored by Architecture for Humanity, the project is putting on a competition called Play for All. Contestants will design a playground that will be built for a refugee school along the border of Burma and Thailand.
The competition aims to promote education through the act of play, a facet often skipped over in the process of bringing education to developing countries. The Go Play Project is looking for cost-effective playground design that can be adapted and installed by nearly anyone. The playgrounds should be innovative in their use of safe and eco-friendly materials. The winner of the competition will ideally travel to Thailand to install the playground and work with the community to build it and learn about the necessity of play in a child's life.

Cooperstown Confidential--December 31, 2005 (Part 1)
Of the many baseball people who passed away in 2005, I had to the chance to interview four of them. Although the encounters were relatively brief, they all left a favorable impression. Heres to the good memories left behind by Messers Hendricks, Clendenon, Broeg, and Briles.
Elrod Hendricks
Its especially sad when someone dies so close to the Christmas holiday, and even more so in Ellies case because he passed away just one day before his 65th birthday.
While I certainly cant claim to have known Hendricks as well as someone like fellow blogger Brooks Robinson (the truest of baseball gentlemen), I did have the pleasure of interviewing Ellie one time in spring training. As I recall, it was during the spring of 1996, at the Yankees new spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. With the Orioles preparing to play the Yankees, Hendricks was in his usual locationon the playing field, where he loved to be whenever possible. At the time, I was conducting video interviews for the Hall of Fames archive, and found Hendricks, who would talk to anyone, to be as approachable as anyone. I started asking him about his favorite memories, including World Series moments. And while I dont remember off-hand too many of the details of what Hendricks had to say, I do remember him smiling, being affable at all times, and doing his best to offer some legitimate insights for the Halls archive. From what I hear, this was typical Ellie Hendricks.
While star players often become the faces of franchises, sometimes journeyman ballplayers became synonymous with a team through hard work, longevity, a community-minded spirit, and a general amicability. Hendricks embodied all of those qualities, making him as recognizable to Orioles diehards as superstars like Cal Ripken, Jr. or Brooksie himself. In many ways, Hendricks was the Oriolesfrom 1968 through this past season, as a player, player-coach, and bullpen coach. If not for brief pitstops with the Chicago Cubs in 1972 and the New York Yankees in 1976-77, Hendricks would have been associated continuously with the Orioles from 1968 to the current dayfor a total of 37 consecutive years.
A few other thoughts on Hendricks:
*Although hardly a star, he was one of those critical role players that Earl Weaver used so expertly during Baltimores glory years from 1969 to 1971. As a left-handed hitting catcher, Hendricks platooned with Andy Etchebarren giving the Orioles an occasional home run, solid defense behind the plate, and a catcher who capable of forging a good rapport with his talented pitching staff.
*Im not sure why the Orioles traded Hendricks to the Cubs in the middle of the 1972 season, but they quickly realized their mistake and reacquired him prior to 1973. And then again, the Orioles traded him in 1976, this time as part of the massive deal that brought Rick Dempsey to the Birds. Hendricks became a backup catcher with the Yankees, playing behind the durable and gritty Thurman Munson. As a left-handed hitter and strong character guy in the clubhouse, Hendricks seemed like a perfect fit as a backup catcher in the Bronx. Thats why I dont understand why the Yankees let him go after the 1977 season, allowing him to return to Baltimore for a third stint with the Birds.
*Hendricks didnt look like your typical catcher. Built tall and lean, he featured the wiry frame of a rangy shortstop or a light-quick center fielder. He was also a catcher at a time when few African Americans were given the chance to play behind the plate, in part because of racist inclinations that regarded blacks as somehow lacking the needed intelligence to call a game. Not surprisingly, catchers like Hendricks and Manny Sanguillen proved the racists wrong.
*Hendricks career statistics are hardly overwhelming, but for fans of baseball in the 1970s, his value exceeded the numbers. More importantly, Ellie was one of baseball's good peoplepositive, upbeat, and always willing to give back to the game. For thatand many other reasons that Orioles fans surely understandEllie Hendricks will be missed considerably.

Cooperstown Confidential--December 31, 2005--Part 2
Donn Clendenon
Donn died in September at the age of 70, the victim of a long battle with leukemia. I once co-hosted a show on MLB Radio with him, and while I can hardly say that I knew him well, he could not have been more friendly or cordial during our brief time on the air. Donn never once reminded me that he had played professional baseball, and that I had not, instead treating me with respect. He seemed like a true gentleman.
Clendenon was one of the few African-American players of his era who attended college. As an amateur athlete in the collegiate ranks, Clendenon had several options to choose from in picking his career path. The six-foot, four-inch Clendenon was a talented basketball and football playerhe was given the nickname Big Train because of the powerful style as a running backwhich resulted in contract offers from both the Harlem Globetrotters and the NFLs Cleveland Browns. Ultimately, Clendenon chose baseball, signing a professional contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Clendenon played most of his prime seasons with the Pirates, enjoying a career year in 1966, when he hit a career-high 28 home runs. (That was an especially impressive number given that he played half his games at cavernous Forbes Field.) Yet, his contributions to the New York Mets in 1969 remain his most lasting legacy. In many ways, the 1969 season was the most tumultuous season of Clendenons career. After having been taken by the Montreal Expos in the 1968 expansion draft, Clendenon found himself on the trading block. In January, the Expos made him and outfielder Jesus Alou the centerpiece of a four-player package that brought star outfielder Rusty Staub over from the Houston Astros. It was a bad trade for the Astros, and it was only made worse when Clendenon decided he did not want to play for Houston. When spring training rolled around, Clendenon announced that he intended to retire and would not report to his new team.
In the past, a player announcing his retirement usually would have resulted in the voiding of the trade. The Commissioners Office, led by the newly elected Bowie Kuhn, decided to take a different task, allowing Staub to report to Montreal and Alou to Houston, permitting Clendenon to remain with Montreal, and demanding that the two teams restructure the rest of the deal. The Expos eventually sent right-hander Jack Bone Billingham and left-hander Skip Guinn to Houston as replacements for Clendenon.
Clendenons retirement, which was really more strategic than genuine and displayed his off-the-field intelligence, showed other players that they didnt necessarily have to comply with undesirable trades that put them with unwanted teams. In April of 1969, Ken Hawk Harrelson tried a similar strategy when the Boston Red Sox traded him to the Cleveland Indians. Not wanting to play in Cleveland and give up his many business interests in the Boston area, Harrelson retired for 48 hours, finagling a new two-year contract from the Indians during his brief layoff. Even more significantly, Clendenons maneuver may have also had influence on Curt Flood, who was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies after the 1969 season but refused to report to his new team, setting the stage for one of baseballs greatest court battles.
In the short term, Clendenons strategy would help the Metsenormously. The Mets probably didnt know it at the time, but Clendenons brief retirement and his subsequent return to Montreal would eventually place him on the trade block again. Unhappy with Clendenonwho in turn became unhappy because of sporadic playing time in Montrealthe Expos decided to trade Clendenon a second time. On June 15, which was formerly baseballs trading deadline, the Mets made themselves a fortuitous deal with the Expos, sending backup infielder Kevin Collins and three minor league pitchers north of the border for Clendenon. (Of the players dealt, only young right-hander Steve Renko did anything of consequence for the expansion Expos, becoming an effective member of the starting rotation in the franchises early years.)
This time, Clendenon didnt balk at the deal. He joined the Mets, at first becoming a platoon partner with Ed Kranepool at first base. Clendenon immediately strengthened the Mets lineup against left-handed pitching and deepened a relatively thin and inexperienced bench. In due time, he became the Mets everyday first basemanin an important decision made by manager Gil Hodges. In 72 games with the Mets, Clendenon finished with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs, solid numbers to be sure, but hardly earth-shattering. Still, Clendenon gave the Mets a more powerful presence against left-handed pitching, deepened the bench by allowing Hodges to bring Kranepool over the bench, and played a smooth first base, fitting in well with a team that emphasized pitching and defense. With Clendenon providing a boost, the Mets overcame a nine-and-a-half game deficit and won the Eastern Division by eight games over the far more talented Chicago Cubs.
More significantly, Clendenon saved his best hitting for the postseason. He became the centerpiece of the Mets offense during the World Series against the substantially favored Baltimore Orioles. In Game One, Clendenon doubled and singled in a Series-opening loss. In Game Two, he powered a critical solo home run that lifted the Mets to a 2-1 victory. Clendenon then homered in Game Four, and again in the clinching Game Five, as the Mets finalized their stunning upset of the seemingly invincible Birds of Baltimore. After the clinching victory, Clendenon was voted World Series MVP.
While the Mets probably could have won the National League East without Clendenon, they would have been hard-pressed to overpower the talented Oriolesin five games no lesswithout the presence of Big Train. Thats why fans of the Amazin Mets will always remember the importance of Donn Clendenon.
Bob Broeg
The likeable sportswriter, who died in late October after battling a number of illnesses, was the first baseball figure I interviewed after joining the Hall of Fame staff in 1995. I was a little bit nervous about the interview, in part because it was my first for the Cooperstown audio archive. There was also the matter of Broegs last name, a tricky moniker that could be pronounced in a variety of different ways, including the phonetical pronunciation of BROAG. Not wanting to embarrass myself, I did some research into his name, determining that the proper pronunciation was BRAYG.
I started the interview by introducing Bob as Bob BRAYG and then posing my first question. Before answering the question, Bob corrected me. He pointed out that his name was pronounced BRAYG. Of course, that was what I had just saidBRAYG. I think that Bob had become so used to hearing people mispronounce his name that he assumed that I had just done the same.
Naturally, being corrected after having done nothing wrong unnerved me a bit. By the end of the interview, I had mostly forgotten that momentary feeling of awkwardness. Rather, I came away from the interview remembering Bobs love of baseballand his knowledge of everything St. Louis. I also took note of that booming laugh, one of the Broeg trademarks. That laugh, which was often drawn at his own expense, only displayed more of the passion that Bob felt about the stories he had to tell.
A lot of baseball fans will go through their lives knowing little about the sportswriters who cover the game. Their focusand I guess this is understandableis on the players. Yet, if you really want to learn something about the history of the game, you need to listen to what the Bob Broegs of the world have to say. Heres a man who knew Jackie Robinson personally, who could have told you anything about Frankie Frisch, who came up with the nickname The Man for Stan Musial, and who knew the daily routine of Bob Gibson on days he pitched. A man with that kind of information is something special.
Every time a man like Bob Broeg passes away, we lose a little bit of our link to baseballs past generations. In the case of Broeg, Im glad that I had a chance to interview himand preserve just a bit of that all-encompassing St. Louis knowledge on a tape recorder.

Nelson Briles
I cant say that I was with friends with former major league pitcher Nelson Nellie Briles; I simply didnt know him that well. But I did get to spend some time with him, mostly through an interview I did with him about the 1971 Pirates and during a Hall of Fame Weekend visit in 2001, when Nellies friend, Bill Mazeroski, officially entered the Hall. Based on the few experiences I did have with Nellie, I wish that I would have had more opportunities to talk baseball with him.
Articulate, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, Nellie Briles could talk baseball with anyone. More importantly, he liked to talk about other people in baseball, people that he liked. When I called him up on short notice in 2001 to ask him if we could do a program with him in the Hall of Fames Bullpen Theater about Bill Mazeroski, he didnt hesitate. He was accommodating, gracious, and charming. It was as if Nellie didnt want to lose the opportunity to honor his friend on the weekend that he was entering Cooperstown.
Nellie died in February, just before the start of spring training. He was far too youngonly 61. In perhaps his most lasting legacy as a ballplayer, Nellie was an important part of the 1971 World Championship Pirates, both on the field and in the clubhouse. His masterful two-hitter in Game Five remains one of the greatest World Series pitching performances of all time, perhaps only second to Don Larsens perfect game in 1956. Even after Nellies playing days, he continued to do great workhe and people like Sally OLearyin running the Pirates Alumni Association, the best group of its kind in all of baseball.

Judging Fictional Strangers, Shows Nobody Cares About Anymore Except Us, We Should Totally Be TV ExecsClassic Characters We'd Like to See Revived on Current Shows
I loved T-Bag from Prison Break; in fact, he was one of the best things about that stupid show. When we last saw him, he was being hauled off to solitary confinement for unknowingly helping Michael bust Sara out of jail. But now Robert Knepper is reprising the role of T-Bag on the upcoming show Breakout Kings from Prison Break producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora. I'd love it if other producers reached back to their old shows and revived some of our favorite characters on their current projects. Here's our wish list:

To call it a pursuit would be stretching it. To say there's no interest would be incorrect.
The Lakers maneuvered down a prickly path Tuesday, beginning a conversation with the new agent for notorious free-agent forward Dennis Rodman and at the same time downplaying the idea of acquiring him immediately.
