08:38 GMT - No confirmation - Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says he has not been able to confirm an earlier report by Vietnamese state media, quoting a naval official saying the plane had crashed off southern Vietnam. "But since that information came from the Vietnamese navy, I have asked our navy to contact their counterparts immediately," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur. Neil Connor in Beijing reports seeing a man who appeared to be in his sixties entering a room, wiping tears from his eyes with a handkerchief, and punching a cameraman in the face when he tried to film him as he walked by. I want to see my daughter and her husband who were on the flight to Beijing for a holiday," he says.

« Phils Won't Listen On Rollins | Main | Cardinals Rumors: Hudson, Lopez, Kennedy »
Holliday To Cards Dead
MONDAY: Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch also checked in with Mozeliak, who said, "That one's not happening - at all" in reference to a Cards-Holliday trade. The Cardinals balked at the required player package. Mozeliak was irritated that (inaccurate) details of the talks leaked to the press. The Cards are looking at other things now, though Strauss's source believes Holliday talks could be resurrected.
SUNDAY: Tracy Ringolsby of the Rocky Mountain News talked to Cardinals GM John Mozeliak, who admitted the idea of a Matt Holliday trade is dead. The Rockies sought Ryan Ludwick, Skip Schumaker, and Mitchell Boggs from the Cards, and talks hit a wall.
The A's may still be in play, while Ringolsby says the Phillies did not discuss Holliday with the Rox during the GM meetings. The Phils are unwilling to part with Shane Victorino. Ringolsby adds that the Red Sox, Rays, and Yankees have expressed interest in Holliday. Joe Strauss recently said the Mets are in pursuit, and Bill Ladson had him as a Nationals target.

The Cribs @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
While Courtney Love was reuniting with 90s Hole and giving them a shout out next door at Public Assembly, The Cribs headlined Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday night as part of a quick North American tour that is now complete. The band, who no longer count Johnny Marr as a member, were supported by The Skaters and Hounds Below at the Brooklyn show. Here are some pictures. More below...

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I look forward to an opportunity to tutor you or your child in reading, writing, English, test preparation, or math through algebra. I am a certified teacher with 20+ years' experience teaching and tutoring children and adults, including regular and special education students, gifted students, and ESOL students. I hold a Master's Degree in Education and have had extensive postgraduate training in the teaching of English as a Second Language and Reading. I believe one of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my individualized approach to instruction, whereby I assess my student's current abilities, target specific areas of instruction, and develop lessons that specifically address individual needs and interests. I select or create materials that are appropriately leveled for each student and use techniques of guided instruction and independent practice that are effective in meeting their individual needs. I believe that learning best occurs when students are challenged with tasks that refer to skills and knowledge just beyond their current level of mastery. This philosophy guides my planning and instructional delivery, and keeps my students interested, challenged, confident, and learning.

Despite the name, you don't need to live on a farm to get plenty of use out of this Levi's Barn Coat ($200). Built from a 55/45 nylon/cotton blend, this versatile olive jacket was inspired by military uniforms and traditional workwear, which explains its ability to look good with both flannels, button downs, and plain old t-shirts. Several pockets take care of your gadget-transport needs, while velcro cuffs keep the wind out, a drawstring in the waist keeps it tight to your body, and elbow pads keep things from getting too formal.
It might not be Tom Ford, but we're pretty sure Jay-Z wouldn't complain about you sporting this Shawn Carter x Rick Owens Mollino Crocodile Jacket ($58,000). The result of a collaboration between the two creatives, this jacket is made from actual crocodile, and features a funnel collar with off-center zipper, long, slim-cut arms, zippered cuffs, another zippered pocket on the left sleeve, and a shoulder-to-shoulder zipper on the back that provides access to a hidden pouch. And should you feel bad about dropping over $50K on a single piece of outerwear, know that 100% of the proceeds will go to the Shawn Carter Foundation, which provides scholarships to deserving low-income students.
Just because you need to pack light, doesn't mean you have to be cold as a result. With The North Face Thermoball Jacket ($200) you get an easily-packable outer layer with the insulating capabilities of a much thicker coat. It features Thermoball synthetic insulation that can be easily compacted, allowing the jacket to stow in its own pocket, while still retaining the insulating properties of down. The jacket is available in a range of colors to suit your style, with two hand pockets, elastic binding at the cuffs, and a cinch-cord at the hem.
In a partnership celebrating their shared outdoor heritage, and in particular their roots in logging, the Woolrich x Danner Old Growth Collection includes a pair of boots ($340), a scarf ($55), a blanket ($150), and a shirt-jacket ($295) each made in the USA. The Danner Light Mill Street boots come in a classic silhouette from a company that has made boots for nearly a century, and feature Woolrich wool quarter panels that match the other items in the collection. The shirt-jacket, scarf, and blanket are exactly what you need for a cool fall night spent in the country, or fireside in your backyard. Each item features green accents, co-branded leather details, and will be available this November.
Of course you take your pet to the vet — but you've always wondered if you could do something more to keep him healthy. Track their days. Make sure they are getting proper rest and play. Set goals for their walks. Check in on them while you are away. That is where Whistle ($130) comes in. From monitoring day-to-day behavior to long-term health trends, Whistle is able to ensure you are doing everything for your best friend. It lives unobtrusively on your dog's collar, updating wirelessly to your phone (using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity) and sharing highlights of your pet's activities. With its waterproof construction and 10 days of battery life, Whistle is ready for anything.
Multi-purpose jackets aim to do more than one thing well, but usually end up being one trick ponies. This isn't the case with the Aether Nimbus 3-in-1 Jacket ($825), which was created so that each part could stand alone confidently, regardless of the weather. The fully seam-sealed shell is made from a 3-layer woven-wool fabric with a tricot backer. Hidden snap connectors keep the vest, and the clean design intact when it's worn on its own. Add on the exterior zippered hand-warmer pockets, a zipper garage at the collar, and a zippered interior pocket, and you have a jacket that is not the only multi-purpose, but practically essential to put on before going out.
The Jack Spade x Barbour Hopper Jacket ($800) is as good as it gets when you're looking for versatile autumn outerwear. Made in partnership with Barbour — a name synonymous with waxed cotton jackets — this great-looking jacket will get you through anything fall throws your way. It features waxed cotton construction with nylon reinforcement, a quilted button-out orange vest for extra insulation, and a corduroy club collar. Other details include American-flag themed ventilation eyelets, a buckle-neck strap, a plaid liner, and double-zipper and button closure.
The Zegna Icon Jacket ($1,300) provides a new take on so-called wearable tech, giving you completely-wireless control over your digital device without ever reaching into your pocket. A discreet bluetooth-enabled joystick control pad on the cuff of the jacket lets you answer calls, control music, and more, while a convenient earbud holder keeps your headphones within easy reach. Available in blue, red, or black, this jacket also looks a lot better than most of the gadgets out there meant to place on your body. It's completely waterproof, has taped seams, and three layers of insulation for comfort in a range of weather scenarios.
While it isn't a blazer in the truest sense — you're not going to be wearing it to formal business meetings anytime soon — the Levi's Packable Blazer ($180) can certainly serve as the outer layer of an above-casual outfit in a pinch. Made from quilted nylon, this jacket is designed for travel, making it easy to stuff into a bag, backpack, or rucksack, and also features long sleeves, a regular fit, and side-flap pockets that make it just that much dressier than a standard rain jacket or hoodie. Available in a versatile liquorice colorway that should look good with nearly anything.
Whether he was acting, racing motorcycles, or driving very fast cars, Steve McQueen undeniably ranks among the coolest guys to ever live. You may never rise to his level, but you can still channel your inner Steve with the Porsche Steve McQueen Jacket ($500). Modeled after 70s-era race wear, the inside of the jacket features an iconic image of Steve outside his Porsche 908 (which he drove in, and nearly won, the 12 Hours of Sebring with a broken foot). Whether you wear it to the track, or out for a cruise, drive fast — he certainly would have.
The Nike Aeroloft Vest ($TBA) combines the right amount of insulation with plenty of ventilation to keep you comfortable on your run. Insulation is made from a blend of wool and synthetic, giving you enough warmth without weighing you down. Perforated ventilation in between rows of insulation lets your body breath so you don't overheat. It features wicking dri-fit fabric on the sides and shoulders, absorbing moisture and ensuring a great fit. The back has a reflective, zippered pocket that gives you space to store your important stuff, while helping maintain visibility in low light.
Okay, so the official description "inspired by the costumes designed by Catherine Martin for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby" might not inspire confidence, but seeing yourself in the Brooks Brothers The Great Gatsby Collection ($55-$800) certainly will. Including everything from bow ties and suspenders to shoes, jackets, and walking sticks, the vibe throughout the collection recalls the Roaring Twenties, which should make it even more attractive to fans of the book, film, or Boardwalk Empire. Just kidding about that last one. Sorta.
If you're going to buy a hardcore parka, you might as well buy the best one ever made. And according to the company, that would be the Patagonia Encapsil Down Belay Parka ($700). Independently baffled and differentially cut, it offers the company's new breakthrough Encapsil 1000-fill-power European goose down insulation that's made using advanced techniques; both make the parka the first of its kind. The same techniques also make the down water-resistant, a feature that's helped along by the 10-denier Pertex nylon ripstop outer and lining, a thick, helmet-compatible baffled hood, and exterior handwarmer pockets. Despite all the warmth, it still weighs just 18 oz. and folds up the size of a football, and should you be thinking of buying one, you might want to hurry — it's a numbered limited edition garment, so when they're gone, they're gone.

Photo-Gear Nuts, Start Your Drooling: Germany's Photokina Revs Up
By Jock Fistick
Lomography's big announcement for Photokina is the reintroduction of the Lomo twin lens reflex Lubitel 166+. The camera was first made in 1984 and ended production about 10 years later. The camera comes with a special 35mm film adapter, which allows exposure over the entire 35mm film frame including the sprocket holes -- giving the ultimate "lomo" effect. The price point will be around 300 USD stateside.

It will be interesting to see what these sticker for. I found the old one interesting, but somewhat overpriced given the old powertrain. Now with new powertrains, two different wheelbases, and improved looks. This will sell better than the old one, a small business owner could use this a business vehicle, and personal vehicle. The old one, wasn't as family friendly.
And this statement alone, ladies and gentleman, is why I would never consider this vehicle.

At that point, they discovered marijuana and some ecstasy pills. Scott's now at Broome County Correctional Facility, being held without bail. Once in jail, during a full body search they found several more bags of marijuana.

I think it is unfortunate Missouri lawmakers have to consider requiring people to have to get doctor's prescriptions in order to purchase some cold and allergy medications because they contain the drug pseudoephedrine which is used to manufacture methamphetamine. The state has already taken some steps to curb the abuse of these medications. It has limited the quantities individuals can purchase, required photo identification in order to buy them and mandated that they be moved behind pharmacy counters. Still, meth labs continue to be a problem across the state.

Roksan Radius 5.2 cover options
I've recently purchased the Roksan Radius. Besides enjoying every minute of listening, I'm beginning to worry about dust. Does anyone have any suggestions of a lid that I can simply drop over the top? I'm not sure whether the 'Michell Engineering Secure Cover' would fit ok?
Cheers for any help
Hi, do you have the black acrylic version. I do and to keep the dust under control I use a 2 inch paint brush about once a week and this proves to be quite efficient. Sorry cant answer the cover question though.
Very sorry for the huge delay in responding, I'd forgotten I'd posted! I've got the clear version and time has shown that it doesn't really get that dusty. Since my original post, I've purchased a 'Michell Engineering Secure Cover' and it fits extremely well.
I'd forgotten I'd given the paintbrush advice. Good to know the Michell cover fits though.
What cartridge are you using and how do you find it.

We did have a wonderful time. The house was great and the perfect size for our little group. I know it holds much more than our group of 7 but it allowed us to have our own separate spaces and not feel cramped. The hot tub was wonderful, especially after walking Disney all day. I don't think you could ask more in terms of location. We were at each park at opening each morning and we hit very little traffic and the whole commute took about 15 minutes. It would have been perfect if it had been a little bit warmer but I guess those are the chances you take in March.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 8/8

My family came to visit from Brazil for the first time and we couldn't be more thankful for this place. The house was perfect--from its size to its convenient location. The area where the house is located was also perfect for us, since everything we needed was within minutes away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again--and hopefully we will.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Our extended family (11 of us) stayed in this home for our week long vacation to Disney World. It is the perfect place as a home base for an Orlando vacation. It was so nice to come back to a large home where we could kick back and relax. It was plenty big for all 11 of us. The pool was also a hit with the kids. Andy and the property manager are very accomodating. We had some difficulty with the cable TV the first day. We called and it was immediately taken care of. Also the house is exactly as advertised from this website. What you see here is exactly what you get. If there is any negatives it would have to be there wasn't enough washclothes for all 11 of us so we had to do laundry often. (Not that big of a deal.) And the checkout time is early and at the same time the sprinkler system was on, so packing our car was an adventure. But for such a nice home this is a minor inconvenience. Again with the location (only a few miles from Disney), great owner and managers, and a nice home, this place would be hard to beat.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Mark, Thank you very much for the review. We are glad you had an enjoyable stay in the house. Based on your feedback, we had added wash clothes and adjusted the sprinkle system to set it off during check out time. We look forward having you back for your next vacation.

9 of us spent a week during Christmas break here, and were very pleased with it. The house is a good size, the heated pool was amazing after long days at the parks, and the game room was a big hit each night. We were only 6 miles from the Magic Kingdom, and the security gate at the main entrance was a big plus. We didn't know until we got there that only 1 days worth of supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels and dish soap would be provided. It's really not that much of a problem though, since there is a very nice grocery store about 2 miles away. I would have no problem at all recommending Andy's place to my friends and family.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers.

By Ken Keaton
Special to the Daily News
The Boston Early Music Festival is an annual event, the largest and most prestigious of its kind in the world. This year's extravaganza, with the theme Youth: Genius and Folly, lived up to its reputation. It featured the greatest players and most passionate scholars in the field today.
The festival featured a series of concerts from June 9 to June 16 at as many as 30 venues, centered at the Revere Hotel. Featured were the Boston Early Music Orchestra and singers and dancers who are part of the festival.
"Early Music" refers to anything from Greek antiquity and the Middle Ages through the end of the Baroque, around 1750. The repertory had to be rediscovered, and that process has been gradual. In the 1800s, anything before Mozart and Haydn was ignored. Bach was the first, and since then we have gradually worked our way back. There were problems, including ancient instruments, which may not have a modern counterpart; singing styles that had to be rediscovered; and how to deal with music for the castrato (yes, that's what it means … a male soprano, made, not born).
All this has been hotly debated among musicians and historians for the last 60 or so years. Even pitch was lower 400 years ago — and the festival's practice of matching that pitch was appreciated by the singers.
Sacred poems
Where to begin? Let's start with the performance of a dozen Cantigas de Santa Maria by Alfonso X, King of Spain in the second half of the 13th century. Known as el Sabio (the Wise), he was not only a political leader but also one of the most learned scholars of his day. The Cantigas are his own sacred poems and hauntingly beautiful melodies, each with a peculiar rhythmic structure.
That's all we have. Instrumental accompaniment has to be re-created, in this case by the Newberry Consort performing Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory. Their instruments included flutes, bagpipes, percussion, lutes, harps, vielles and rebecs (ancestors of the violin). The melodies were sung by Exultemus, six singers with Artistic Director Ellen Hargis taking the leading role.
The language was Medieval Portuguese; the translated text was projected in a series of slides of art from the period. It allowed the audience to remain fully involved in the narrative, and the concluding a capella setting of Rosa das Rosas was so exquisitely beautiful that we were reluctant to break the mood with applause.
Then there was the ensemble Hesperion XXI, directed by Jordi Savall, in a performance of music from Baroque Istanbul, at the Jordan Hall. Istanbul of that age was the center of both the Islamic and the Orthodox Christian world. The music combines Turkish with Greek, Armenian and Sephardic Jewish cultures. The music is wildly different from what concertgoers usually experience. The instruments are all Middle Eastern: the oud, the duduk, the ney and the kanun, along with a very busy percussionist. All the players played several instruments, and they shifted from piece to piece. The concert was divided into four sets of four pieces each, played as a medley, and each introduced by a solo improvisation.
Much of the music was improvised, but much was written to be played together, and these musicians displayed an incredible virtuosity and perfect ensemble playing in the most difficult passages. They were rewarded with a standing ovation and an encore — the same melody from Turkish, Greek and Armenian sources.
Opera, too
But the feature of the festival was a revival of Handel's opera Almira. This was Handel's first opera, written at age 19.
The libretto is partially in German, partially in Italian, and wholly incomprehensible. It was written for Hamburg, where it was hugely successful, but the young composer was aware of his limitations, and subsequently traveled to Italy to learn how to write Italian opera. It is almost never performed, eclipsed by his mature works, but the festival gave it a treatment that most composers can only fantasize about in their wildest imaginations.
The stage direction by Gilbert Blin was incomparable. He incorporated dance into almost every scene, brilliantly executed by singers and dancers alike. Costumes and sets were lavish and period-appropriate (avoiding those insane productions that have the characters in leather jackets riding motorcycles, and singing aria seated on a toilet).
The work is a comedy, but it combines the humor with humanity. Almira (Ulrike Hofbauer) is Queen of Spain, crowned following the death of her father. She must wed, and there is the expected shuffling of suitors before she finally can marry her true love, Fernando (Colin Balzer). Along the way, we have a visiting prince of Mauritania, Raymondo (Tyler Duncan), and the court beauty, Edilia (Amanda Forsythe), lots of jealousy, deception — and occasionally some real and touching emotion. The broad comedy is provided by Tabarco (Jason McStoots), Fernando's servant — a gifted young tenor with wonderful comedic talents. By the final scene, the shifting pairs of lovers have been successfully sorted out, and four weddings are in the future.
Musically, this work has many of the traits that mark the mature Handel, especially his uncanny capacity to convey human emotion through melody. One could not hear Almira's third act lament, with only cello and harpsichord accompaniment, without tears. Then there was Edilia's white-hot rage, and wild coloratura, that closed the second act. The singer simply stood center stage, with a look of hatred that could freeze one's blood, while four other minor characters danced around her. It was brilliant, inventive staging.
This is perhaps a better production than this opera deserved and the audience responded enthusiastically.
There is something purely magical about hearing music written in the distant past — music for such a different time and place, yet still we can enjoy and celebrate by our common humanity.

Noted Rutgers-Newark jazz alumni join forces to perform for centennial gala June. 19
There will be a meeting of Jazz Masters at Rutgers University Newark's Centennial Gala celebration and fundraiser, Thursday June 19, as music graduates form the Rutgers- Newark Alumni Jazz Ensemble to provide the musical soundtrack for the party. The event marking the University's 100th years in Newark will raise funds for scholarships and will be held at the Paul Robeson Center, 350 Dr. Martin Luther King, Blvd., Newark.
"We are thrilled to know that Rutgers-Newark inspires such loyalty and devotion among its alumni that they return willingly to school to help us celebrate our centennial" said Rutgers-Newark Chancellor Dr. Steven J. Diner.

The Ensemble will perform under the direction of Leo Johnson, who has taught at Rutgers-Newark and has directed of its Mosaic Jazz Ensemble. Johnson, who holds a masters degree in jazz history from Rutgers, has performed throughout Europe and the United States, and was named one of Newark's "Jazz Elders" by former Newark Mayors Kenneth Gibson and Sharpe James.
"We'll be playing a variety of numbers, focusing on the music written by one of the greatest jazz musicians ever, Duke Ellington," Johnson said, adding "at some point, we will have played something for everyone."
Johnson has played Birdland in New York City and has been a band member and recorded music with such recognized artists as Chico Mendoza, Jimmy McGriff, Jack McDuff quintet with David "Fathead" Newman, Jimmy Witherspoon and Johnny Hammond. Selections from his recent CD "It's About Time," have aired on WBGO Jazz 88.3.
Of the eight-member ensemble; six are recent Rutgers graduates, all boast a Masters degree in jazz. Two hold diplomas from different schools, but both are New Jersey musicians.
Johnson will be joined on saxophone by April Grier, currently with the Institute of Jazz Studies, John Cotton Dana Library at Rutgers-Newark, and Ryan Maloney, a 2006 graduate of Rutgers with a Masters in jazz history. Maloney works with Grier at the Institute in reference and as an archivist.
He is also works in program development and outreach at Jazz House Kids in West Orange, the mobile educational laboratory dedicated to improving the quality of life for young people through the medium of jazz.
A 2004 Rutgers-Newark graduate with a Masters in jazz history, Edgar Jordan joins the ensemble on the trumpet, with Corey Rawls on drums. Rawls is a Masters graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
Rawls has recorded with Soul Cycle; their most recent effort: "Urban Organics." Their sound has been described as fusion jazz, with R&B, gospel, reggae, Latin and African influences and one of the "hippest, contemporary soul combos." Soul Cycle was featured at the 2007 NJ PAC "Sounds of the City" concert series and the (Brooklyn Academy of Music) BAMCafé, Brooklyn Next Festival and at the Blue Note.
Rawls also worked with Sean Jones in 2005 on his CD Gemini and plays on Primordial Jazz Funktet behind Dan Furman.
Joseph Peterson, a 2000 Masters graduate with a degree in Jazz History joins the ensemble on bass, while John Wriggle, a 2005 graduate with a Masters in jazz history plays trombone.
Peterson, of West Long Branch, is currently with a four-piece ensemble, while Wriggle completed a stint in Hollywood, working as a music editor for film composer Howard Shore to score "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, before earning his Masters in jazz history and research at Rutgers.
Wriggle is collaborating with New York City new music collective Anti-Social Music and played in the debut concert in 2001. He is leading the John Wriggle quartet and assures his fans on his website that he is still writing music.
Dan Kostelnik, a graduate of William Paterson College in Wayne, completes the ensemble, joining on jazz organ, the Hammond B3. Kostelnick has been working continually with German guitarist Michael Arlt's WE THREE since 1996, both on extensive European tours and on CDs.
Johnson, in planning the musical agenda for the celebration on June 19, said that the band will be playing the American classics of jazz.
"This is what the country has contributed to art," Johnson said. "As Jimmy Heath once said, if it was good then, it's good now."

It was one of those strange twists that can result from the early deadlines demanded of a weekly or monthly publication. Newsweek magazine's Nov. 12 issue — The Heroes Issue — features as part of its front page key to stories inside: "General Petraeus' 12 rules of Leadership." Inside, the headline is changed to "Petraeus' Rules for Living," but the gist is the same.
In another coincidence, it's on the magazine's final page, the one regular readers know is usually reserved for a personal essay under the topic of "My Favorite Mistake."
In light of revelations about Petraeus' relationship with Paula Broadwell, the author of his biography, and his subsequent resignation from his position of CIA director when the affair was made public, it was bad timing all around.
(The main story theme covers the military, medicine, international diplomacy and volunteers in the storms that hit the Eastern Seaboard. It was well done and the recognition of its subjects was well deserved. This should not be overshadowed by the general's personal problems.)
While we'd like to say the affair is a personal matter and shouldn't be topic for public discussion, his position (now former position) demands otherwise. Also bothersome is why word was leaked of the accidental discovery of the affair during an unrelated FBI investigation, but to a Republican congressman, while the White House was kept in the dark.
A Senate panel has a few questions in that regard, according to a report in The Washington Post. But one FBI official told the newspaper that it would have been "premature to discuss such a sensitive issue with anyone outside the investigation," before determining if the suspicions were true and whether there had been a security breach. Justice Department officials were informed about the FBI investigation after security compromises were ruled out of the equation.
(It seems the FBI might consider an additional investigation on its own of one of its own, the agent who told Rep. Eric Cantor in late October, especially in light of the late J. Edgar Hoover's propensity for prying into public figures' private lives for no apparent reason than because he could.)
Despite the finding that no government secrets were endangered, Petraeus' affair has brought an outstanding career to a harsh and humiliating halt.
How he and his wife work out this public airing is, however, between the two of them. We won't go there and hope others will follow this course.
We're disappointed in the general and in seeing yet another well-respected public figure brought down by such a common failing, one that brings down average people every day but at least in the privacy of their own circles.
Yet Petraeus was and is a great military leader. His advice is still worthwhile, both for leadership and for life. But he did not follow some of his own rules. One he is following is prophetic:
■ "We all will make mistakes. The key is to recognize them and admit them, to learn from them and to take off the rearview mirrors, drive on and avoid making them again."
Petraeus is right in that everyone does make mistakes. Sadly, he will likely be judged more harshly on his mistake than on his ready admission to having made it.
Yet in the long list of public figures admitting to private failures without first trying to lie their way around them, he stands alone.
And as ugly as this whole thing is, that surely took no small measure of courage.
