Seattle sends OF Morse to Baltimore for OF Avery
Originally published: Aug 30, 2013 - 4:49 pm
NEW YORK (AP) - Trying to make the postseason for the second straight year, the Baltimore Orioles acquired outfielder Michael Morse from the Seattle Mariners on Friday to provide a right-handed boost to a lineup focused around lefty slugger Chris Davis.
The Orioles sent outfield prospect Xavier Avery to Seattle in a waiver trade. The Orioles also had won a waiver claim on Minnesota's Josh Willingham, but the teams couldn't work out a deal before Friday's noon deadline.
Morse was in Houston with the Mariners, and Baltimore expects him to arrive in New York on Saturday or Sunday _ the final two games of a weekend series against the Yankees.
"He's a professional hitter," manager Buck Showalter said.
Morse provides flexibility in the field, where he can play the corner outfield spots and first base, should Davis need a day off. He will also serve as the designated hitter.
The 31-year-old Morse offers another right-handed power bat to protect Davis, the major league's top home run hitter with 47 long balls. Morse has hit .293 against left-handers in his nine-year career.
"It seems like every left-hander that is alive and breathing is going to come out of the woodwork," Showalter said. "He can help us with some of that."
A .284 career hitter, Morse slumped to a .226 average with 13 homers and 27 RBIs in 76 games in his return to Seattle after four years in Washington, where he set career highs with 31 homers and 95 RBIs in 2011.
Morse missed about six weeks with a broken finger on his right hand this year. He has two homers and four RBIs in 76 at-bats since his return from the disabled list at the end of July.
"Injuries were the biggest part of it," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said of Morse's struggles. "He got off to a good start the first couple of weeks, then it was just injury after injury."
Avery spent time at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk this season. The left-hander hit a combined .259 with 70 runs scored and is 29 for 37 on stolen base attempts. He hit .223 with six steals in 32 games for the Orioles last season.
Also, Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel, out with a flexor strain since July 29, is scheduled to make a rehab start for short-season Aberdeen on Tuesday. He should be activated on Sept. 7 or 8.

Employers may continue to file H-1B cap petitions for employment in fiscal year 2012; however, quota usage has accelerated since the advanced-degree exemption is no longer available. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released yesterday that as of November 2, 2011, 50,800 H-1B cap petitions have been reached against the congressionally mandated cap of 65,000. Up to 6,800 visas are set aside from the cap of 65,000 during each fiscal year for the H-1B1 program under the terms of the legislation implementing the U.S.–Chile and U.S.–Singapore free trade agreements.
With approximately 7,400 visas still remaining, it is anticipated that based upon the current rate of usage, the quota could be met within four weeks. Employers considering additional H-1B hires should take prompt action to ensure acceptance of their petitions. Once the fiscal year 2012 quota is reached, employers must wait until April 1, 2012, to submit new petitions for employment that can only commence with the start of the next government's fiscal year (on October 1, 2012).

Hau Wong Temple
There are two conflicting legends explaining the origins of this temple, which was built in 1730. One says it was constructed to commemorate Hau Wong (Marquis Prince) Yeung Leung-jit, a Chinese general who helped the last emperor of the Song dynasty (960–1279) escape a sticky fate at the hands of invading forces by providing him refuge in Kowloon. The other alleges that the temple was dedicated to a local inhabitant who cured the Song emperor of an illness.
However, it appears the tale of Hau Wong has triumphed, as the main hall facing the temple's entrance houses his image. The temple also carries a wealth of cultural artefacts, including groups of reliefs on the walls, an iron incense burner dedicated to Hau Wong, Chinese calligraphy and a number of plaques. The complex includes a small garden which has walls decorated with brightly coloured figurines made from Shek Wan pottery, and the temple has been listed as a Grade I historical building.

From January through April of 2011, I taught for the first time an undergraduate course at the University of Michigan called "Cultures of Basketball." From the first day, the experience was much more than I bargained for. I knew going in that basketball, which I began to play at a very young age and continue to play and to follow to this day, was emotionally important to me. And I guessed that it would be emotionally important to my students. But I wrongly assumed that these emotions could be managed so as to lend just a bit of energy to a primarily intellectual enterprise. Instead, the course became a rollicking, sometimes overwhelming, adventure; a not always successful experiment in trying to focus on our academic subject with intellectual seriousness while accommodating unpredictable surges of emotional intensity and unexpected attention from bloggers and journalists around the world, all culminating in a three on three tournament initiated and organized by the students themselves.
I hadn't planned on keeping a course diary. But after writing the first entry just as a means to cope with the surprising emotional intensity of the first day, I found myself eager to maintain the practice. Over time, as you will see, the emphases in the entry for any given day began to vary, shifting from narrative's of the day's events to emotional introspection, from considerations on basketball history viewed through the lenses of literature and philosophy to reflections on the challenges, failures, and successes of teaching.
I'm currently working on a book called: Loving the Art of Game: A Historical Guide to Freeing the Life in Basketball.

Students access prior knowledge and locate the North and South Poles on the map. In this mapping lesson, students understand the position of the United States relative to the poles. Students answer questions about the globe.
Mapping World Heritage
World heritage sites can be found around the globe. Many of these sites are noted for their importance in representing culture and location. Each activity included in this resource focuses on latitude/longitude, map skills, finding locations with coordinates, and discussing the importance of historic site preservation. The activity includes a video, web links, and several handouts, as well as vocabulary and teaching notes.
Map Explorers
Third graders practice their geography skills. In this geography terms lesson, 3rd graders complete the Map Explorers Library Quest and practice using geography terms appropriately.
Mapmaker, Mapmaker, Make Me a Map!
Students evaluate the different types of historical and geographical information that one can gather through close study of historical maps from the 16th through the 19th centuries. They create their own maps.
Way to Go! Create a Road Map Game
Students create a travel game of one of the United States. They research a state of their choice and create a travel game using a common road map. They interpret map symbols as they calculate map mileage for their games. They create playing cards to be used for their games.
Ireland: the Emerald Isle
Third graders complete a unit of study that examines several perspectives of Ireland. They explore how climate shapes Irish culture, reference historical and political maps, compute exchange values for Irish money, complete worksheets, listen to music and participate in a St. Patrick's Day celebration.
Third graders study factual information about Louisiana including the state flag, bird, tree, and important geographical points using the Internet and maps. They explain the different groups that settled the state in this mini-unit.
Donde en el mundo estas?
Students give & follow directions given in Spanish, using oral, written and graphics. They use maps, globes, atlases, and remote sensing, GIS, and GPS to acquire and process information about places.
The Mekong River
Junior geographers explore the region through which the Mekong flows, its pathway, the landscape, how people depend on the Mekong, and future uncertainties. They apply the five themes of geography to examine the region. They create a detailed map, globe, or model of the area and explain why people have settled where they did.
Mapping the Shape of Everest
With Mount Everest as the motivator, your earth science class learns about topographic maps. Begin by showing a film clip from The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest, featuring fearsome virtual imagery of a path up world's tallest peak. Set up a large classroom demonstration by draping a sheet over a tall basket and using yarn to mark contour lines. Photograph the model from the top and then display it to show how a two-dimensional image can represent the topography. Finally, have the class examine a map of Mount Everest and answer questions on a worksheet. This lesson really helps learners to make the connection between contour lines and topography. Ideally, you would follow the lesson with a hands-on activity in which pairs work together to draw topographic maps.
United States Map
Students compare the United States on a globe and on a map. In this map activity, students relate the sizes of the continents and locate the United States. Students identify the location of the continental US as well as Alaska and Hawaii.
Putting It on the Map
Students consider the purpose of various types of maps and their different uses throughout history. They create their own maps and reflect on the map-making process.
Mapping Your Way Around
First graders identify a map, symbols on a map, and locate places on a map. Finally, they construct a map
Map Skills
Sixth graders explore map reading skills and create a map of their own. In this map skills lesson, student listen to the book The Scrambled States of America then discuss key map components. Students follow guidelines to creating a map then take a quiz on map parts.
World Map and Globe - Four Main Directions
Students study the four main directions on a map. In this map lesson plan, students locate the North and South pole, and learn the four cardinal directions. They use the compass rose on a map to help with the directions. (Map is not included with this lesson plan.)
Analyzing the Perspective of Maps
Sixth graders investigate and analyze the various versions of maps and compare them to world perspectives today and in the past. They compare/contrast two world map projections that present information in completely different formats. Graphic organizers are utilized within this lesson.

Took the sting out of my Vance and Hines Big 2 Radius exhaust, but had to be installed by mechanic, due to difficulty in removing existing baffle. This was supposed to be a "bolt on" application...but they do work, and I am satisfied !!
dgebay Posted :
The baffles due in fact knock a few DB off the sound which is good. The only negative I have is they are visible at the ends of the pipe which protrudes a little outside the big radius pipes. Good product.

Out Of Nowhere
Hepcat's classic debut, originally released in 1993. Unlike most bands of the third-wave ska revival Hepcat's music does not have much influence from the British second wave. Instead the group focuses entirely on Studio 1 influenced ska bearing a strong resemblance to artists such as the Skatalites, Toots and the Maytalls, and early Wailers. This album contains the catchy vocal tracks "Dance Wid' Me," "Hooligans," and "Prison of Love." In addition, there are also numerous instrumentals, the best of which include "Caravan (Skaravan)," a remake of the Duke Ellington classic, and "Train to Skaville." An essential album for fans of the band and neo-traditional ska, it lays the foundation for the success the group had with their 1998 Hellcat Records release Right on Time.

Do you suffer confusion when bombarded with information about the WAG (Welsh Assembly Government) and WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends of England players)?
Our handy guide can help you:
The WAG acronym came into being in May 1999 when the first Assembly Ministers were elected. The WAGs have been around for longer - well, some of them. But the acronym has only stuck during the current World Cup.
The WAG spends its time talking, sitting in committees and making policies. The WAGs spend time talking, sitting on sunloungers and making Cosmopolitans.
To become a member of the WAG you have to be elected and belong to the majority party. To become a member of the WAGs you just have to go to lots of major parties.
The WAG calls its current home the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay, which caused rows by costing £67m.
The WAGs' recent home was the Brenner's Park Hotel in Baden Baden, Germany, where rows raged over the price of room service.
WAG leader Rhodri Morgan was late for the Queen recently, blaming train delays. WAGs leader Victoria Beckham was late for the entire World Cup, blaming airplane delays caused by engine failure.
The WAG has a budget of around £13bn. The WAGs probably have a clothes shopping budget that stretches further than this.

What is Kyle Whittingham thinking?
He says his first order of business in spring practice has been to dump the spread offense — or most of it — and trade it in for a new system.
Dump the spread? Utah IS the spread offense. Does John Mayer give up his guitar for a set of bongos? Does Mac give up laptops to make radios?
Since Urban Meyer brought the spread offense to Utah in 2003, the Utes have enjoyed what has easily been the greatest era of football in school history. In eight years — two under Urban Meyer and six under Whittingham — the Utes have won 80 games and three conference championships, played in eight bowl games (winning seven, including two BCS bowls), finished in the top four of the national rankings twice and the Top 25 five times and produced two unbeaten seasons.
The spread has done for the Utes what singing did for David Archuleta. The spread has been so good to the Utes that after Meyer's 12-0 season in 2004, everyone started employing the spread offense. It was as if they discovered cold fusion. The "spread" spread like wildfire.
And now Whittingham is moving on to something else — to a West Coast offense. He's going retro. He wants more of a "downhill running game." The quarterback will play under center "a lot more." They will use two-back sets. They'll pound it out on the ground more, but the quarterback won't be running as much.
Whittingham also went out and signed his fourth offensive coordinator in six years, Norm Chow, a respected but well-traveled offensive coordinator who stopped for a cup of coffee (so to speak) at UCLA before moving to Utah.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Wrong. Whittingham is making a daring move, but if you talk to him about all this change, he practically yawns.
"We're always trying to make ourselves better," he said. "You've got to be a moving target. You can't be complacent. Defenses catch up with offensive schemes."
You've got to hand it to this guy. He's got guts. He's not standing pat. And if you listen to him, he'll convince you it's time for a change. For one thing, his quarterback, Jordan Wynn, is wrong for the spread. For the spread to work, the quarterback must be a running threat; otherwise, the defensive ends pinch and crush the running back like a grape. Wynn is more of a drop-back quarterback, and he's happy to return to an offense that is similar to his high school scheme.
"We've got a quarterback in Jordan who can benefit from a little bit of the West Coast flair in the offense," says Whittingham. "His skills are more geared toward the West Coast. The quarterback-run element is such a huge part of what makes the spread go. With Jordan, that's not his strong suit."
And then there is this fact: Look at the chart accompanying this column. The Utes' spread attack hasn't been as effective as you might be led to believe by their won-loss record. They've ranked among the top-20 scoring offenses only twice during the eight-year spread era. Even that is misleading, since they racked up many of their points against relatively weak Mountain West Conference opponents. Against two ranked opponents — TCU and Boise State — late last season, they managed seven and three points, respectively. In between those games, they scored just three points against Notre Dame. They will face formidable defenses on a weekly basis now that they are in the Pac-12 Conference.
"The last half of the season we weren't very effective," he says. "That was one of the reasons — lack of productivity. We're just looking for more consistency."
So the Utes will change — or adapt. As Whittingham puts it, "We haven't entirely scrapped the spread. We're adding some West Coast principles."
This begs a couple of questions:
Whittingham says, "There is certainly more of a physical presence to West Coast offense." But can the Utes go toe-to-toe in the Pac-12 with a running game and pro-style offense?

You can recreate the EFI System Partition (ESP) using the command-line gpt tool. It should start at sector 40, and it should be 409600 sectors (exactly 200MiB) long. The GPT entry's type should be C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, and if you have a hybrid MBR, the type there should be EE. The format is actually a subset of FAT, not HFS+. You can read the ...
Yes, you can install a shell. You can also setup a firmware password, though you generally use utilities that run under Mac OS X to set it up (Apple include's Firmware Password Utility on the install DVD, but does not actually lay it down on the system partition).
EFI is probably less interesting from an hobbyist perspective than OpenFirmware was. Even if ...
EFI is a contract that specifies how the hardware can find and start the software and vice versa.
Rather than have to build custom code into each new hardware device and each new software release - a standard was agreed upon and the specification was initially written by Intel.
Then a company like Apple decides to adopt a certain version of the EFI ...
I finally managed to successfully downgrade the EFI firmware to version 1.6. Unfortunately that didn't make my hard drive work. However I'm going to reproduce my steps here so that the whole world can know what it takes:
Download the EFI firmware update package from Apple. Here is the link I used for firmware version 1.6 for my Macbook Pro: ...
So you can image the drive and get things set up while your new drive is in an enclosure and only swap it into your Mac as an internal drive once it is tested and ready to go. Also, not having to code special exceptions when to and when not to write an EFI partition is sound engineering practice.
You can't write buggy code if you don't write any code.
If you are still looking for an answer I found one on Stack Overflow:
It does not seem possible to do this.
The only thing you can install to get some kind of EFI boot menu options menu is rEFIt, which can be found here:

Delete the EFI partition, do your secure erase, then don't partition or format the drive from Windows 7. Instead, boot from the OSX installer disk or recovery environment, and use its version of Disk Utility to partition the drive, using the GUID partition scheme. Disk Utility will create the EFI partition for you if done this way.
To be clear: the EFI ...

I found a post on the subject from the guy who wrote this book about Mac OS X internals. His post mentions Snow Leopard (10.6), but the issues would be similar for 10.7. See Mac OS X Internals - Is Your Machine Good Enough for Snow Leopard K64?

I had a similar issue installing Windows 8 x64 on a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina running Mac OS 10.8.3 (which does support Windows 8) and the problem turned out to be an issue between the 32GB USB 3.0 installer drive I was using and Bootcamp Assistant/Mac OS. The USB drive was not defective.
I went through the Boot Camp Assistant process three times using a ...
The BIOS emulation only kicks in if you use MBR or hybrid GUID + MBR partitioning. By default, Macs only use GUID partitioning. Installing Windows via Boot Camp enables this hybrid partitioning, but you can in principle also do it manually for Linux. The downside is that you then have to maintain two partition tables and make sure to keep them in sync.

Try this:
Back up drive on time machine.
Restart, rebooting on Lion install disk.
Go to Disk Utility.
Erase Partition.
Erase HD.
Re-erase partition again, this time giving it a name.
Click on HD.
Verify HD to confirm EFI error message no longer appears.
Go back to install screen.
Choose restore from back up.
The boot selector scans all possible boot devices, including network, firewire, and USB devices. Try disabling WiFi, unplugging everything, resetting PRAM (like cksum said) and then rebooting again. The fewer choices the boot-loader has, the faster it will load. The ultimate speed up, is to go into System Preferences -> Startup Disk to select the desired ...
Sometimes 'Software Update' fails and you are stuck with an incomplete update if this happens you can try to download the update as package direct from Apple (MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7)

Start your computer and hold the ⌘ + S keys to get into Single User mode.
Once you're in Single User mode, type in unmount -uw / and press enter.
Now, type in fsck -fy and press enter. It should go through several stages of checking and repairing the file ...
You could install a retail version of Windows on the Mac and migrate your data (which you would previously have backed up) onto it.

In singularity theory and algebraic geometry the monodromy group is embodied in the Picard-Lefschetz formula and the Picard-Fuchs equations. It has applications in the weakened 16th Hilbert problem and in mixed Hodge structures. In the theory of systems of linear differential equations one has the Riemann-Hilbert problem, the Stokes phenomena and the hypergeometric functions with their multidimensional generalizations. In the theory of homomorphic foliations there appear the Ecalle-Voronin-Martinet-Ramis moduli. On the other hand, there is a deep connection of monodromy theory with Galois theory of differential equations and algebraic functions. All this is presented in this book, underlining the unifying role of the monodromy group. The material is addressed to a wide audience, ranging from specialists in the theory of ordinary differential equations to algebraic geometers. The book contains a lot of results which are usually spread in many sources.Readers can quickly get introduced to modern and vital mathematical theories, such as singularity theory, analytic theory of ordinary differential equations, holomorphic foliations, Galois theory, and parts of algebraic geometry, without searching in vast literature.

Gates Orders Review of Ban on Photos of Coffins
Gates orders review of ban on photos of coffins
By Lara Jakes | Yahoo!News
Defense Secretary Robert Gates ordered a review Tuesday of a Pentagon policy banning media from taking pictures of flag-draped coffins of military dead, signaling he was open to overturning the policy to better honor fallen soldiers.
At least two Democratic senators have called on President Barack Obama to let news photographers attend ceremonies at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and other military facilities when military remains are returned to the United States. Obama told reporters Monday he was reviewing the ban.

Central Florida Veterans for Peace is doing a protest/public-awareness action out at Daytona Beach Speedway during the Daytona 500 this Sunday, February 15th, from 12:30 to 3:00 PM. Sadly, this is already the 4th year that we are doing such an action out at the Speedway to call for the troops being brought home and those in Washington responsible for sending them there to die for a lie in the first place to be fully investigated and prosecuted by the law which the soldiers take an oath to defend.

Obama's "War on Terror"
Obama's "War on Terror"
by Stephen Lendman
The language is softened and deceptive. The strategy and tactics are not. The "war on terror" continues. Promised change is talk, not policy. Just look at Obama's "war cabinet," discussed in an earlier article. It assures:
- the "strongest military on the planet" by outspending all other countries combined;
- continued foreign wars;
- possible new ones in prospect; on February 7, vice-president Joe Biden outlined continuity of the Bush administration's policy toward Iran, including "preventive" wars under the National Security Strategy; demands also that Iran abandon its legal nuclear program meaning nothing going forward will change;
- permanent occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is planned;
- a reinvented "Cold War" with Russia; perhaps also with China; "draw(ing) a new 'iron curtain' (between these) formidable Eurasian powers" to prevent their alliance from challenging America, according to F. William Engdahl;
- an "absolute" commitment "to eliminating the threat of terrorism (with) the full force of our power;"
- inciting instability for imperial gain, especially in resource-rich parts of the world;
- militarizing America; keeping Bush administration police state laws in force; dealing with a deepening economic crisis by preparing for hard line crackdowns should popular unrest arise; and
- readying for another major false flag attack?
US Iraq Casualties Jump to 71,119
US Iraq Casualties Jump to 71,119
Compiled by Michael Munk | www.MichaelMunk.com
US military occupation forces in Iraq under Commander-In-Chief Obama suffered 27 combat casualties in the week ending Feb 10, 2009, as the official total rose to jumped sharply to at least 71,119 with monthly "non hostile" casualties posted.
The total includes 34,443 dead and wounded from what the Pentagon classifies as "hostile" causes and more than 36,676 dead and medically evacuated (as of Jan 31, 2009) from "non-hostile" causes.*
The actual total is over 100,000 because the Pentagon chooses not to count as "Iraq casualties" the more than 30,000 veterans whose injuries-mainly brain trauma from explosions (TBI) and PTSD diagnosed only after they had left Iraq.**
Don Siegelman Disagrees With Obama On Investigating Bush
Don Siegelman Disagrees With Obama On Investigating Bush
By Sam Stein | Huffington Post
During his press conference on Monday evening, President Obama pledged to look forwards rather than backwards when it came to investigating the misdeeds of the Bush administration. It was a carefully crafted answer, designed to neither anger nor encourage individuals either side of this contentious issue. For possible victims of legal and political injustice during the Bush years, however, it wasn't nearly enough.
Don Siegelman, the former Governor of Alabama arrested on trumped up bribery charges allegedly linked to Karl Rove, wrote the Huffington Post on Tuesday to offer his opinion of Obama's answer.

Strategic Cooperation: Global Challenges: 21st Century Tools
Agenda for Peace | Peace Action West
Stopping terrorism. Preventing nuclear attack. Protecting and conserving finite sources of energy.
These are the perennial security concerns that have shaped and will continue to shape American foreign policy for the foreseeable future. However, in the last thirty years the landscape in which we address these concerns has changed dramatically, and the election of a new president and Congress brings an opportunity to accordingly redefine American engagement with the world. The heavy US reliance on the blunt instrument of military force has generated new instability and conflict, and today Americans face a more dangerous world than a decade ago. US security is tightly woven with that of our allies as well as some of our antagonists, and in this interconnected world, we need to use the right tools.
Misreading the Iraqi Election Results
Misreading the Iraqi Election Results
By Ivan Eland | Independent Institute
Now that their nemesis, George W. Bush, has left office, the mainstream media can be unbridled in their optimism about the future of Iraq. After 9/11, they chose to allow themselves to be duped by the Bush administration's fairly lame reasons for the clearly unrelated U.S. invasion of Iraq and have been bitter about the quagmire ever since.
Given that Barack Obama, whom most media covered favorably during the election campaign, has taken office, their coverage of the recent Iraqi provincial elections indicates that they have flipped and now see a glass half full in Iraq rather than a glass half empty. They have touted the Iraqi elections as a wild success, with purple-thumbed Iraqi citizens depicted as supporting a centralized Iraqi state over autonomy for Iraq's regions.
Not so fast.
Obama's Natl. Sec. Advisor Says He Takes Orders from Kissinger; So Who Does Petraeus Take Orders From?
Gen. Jones's Remarks to the Munich Security Conference
By James Jones
National Security Adviser
Obama Administration
Hotel Bayerischer Hof
Munich, Germany
February 9, 2009
Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.
I think my role today is a little bit different than you might expect.
Obama's Press Conference
Does Obama base his economic plans on liberal and conservative economists' advice because that's the best way to write a good plan?
Does he claim Iran is building nuclear weapons because nobody in that room will challenge him?
Does Obama believe that logic and information have some impact on senators? Or does he think he can get members of the public to influence senators? Or is he just afraid to put one more Democrat in the senate, eliminate the filibuster excuse, and ignore Republicans? Or is it not fear but an ideology that actually places bipartisanship above all else? Or is that a cover for a politician with an agenda that pretends to be something it isn't who actually appreciates the filibuster excuse?
A CNN reporter asked Obama when he would get out of Afghanistan and whether he would allow the media to cover the arrival of caskets with dead soldiers at Dover Airforce base, and Obama refused (at some distracting length) to answer either one.
The Washington Post's reporter chose to ask about steroid use in baseball.
Helen Thomas asked if Pakistan was harboring terrorists, and he said yes. She also asked -- perhaps in response to the nonsense about Iran -- whether the President knew of any nations in the Middle East that posessed nuclear weapons. Obama pretended he did not, naming neither Iran, which everyone knows does not possess nuclear weapons, nor Israel which everyone knows does.
Sam Stein of Huffington Post asked about Leahy's "truth and reconciliation" proposal and prosecutions of Bush officials, and Obama avoided answering either with anything he hadn't said before.
Mara Liasson of National Petroleum Radio pushed Obama for even MORE bipartisanship, and he seemed to agree.
Was there complete agreement in the room that the war on Iraq is over despite being, you know, not over? Are reporters actually forbidden to ask about it?
Leahy: Investigate Bush Now (Includes Senator Leahy's Prepared Remarks)
Leahy: Investigate Bush Now
By Sam Stein | Huffington Post
The President is right that we need to focus on fixing the problems that exist and improving the future for hardworking Americans. I wholeheartedly agree and expect the Judiciary Committee and the Senate to act accordingly. But that does not mean that we should abandon seeking ways to provide accountability for what has been a dangerous and disastrous diversion from American law and values. Many Americans feel we need to get to the bottom of what went wrong. We need to be able to read the page before we turn it.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy insisted on Monday in firm and passionate terms that a comprehensive investigation be launched into the conduct of the Bush administration, saying anything less would prevent the country from moving forward.
The Third-Party Delusion and the Need for a Mass Movement for Progressive Change
By Dave Lindorff
I can't count how many people have bombarded me with criticisms, usually laced with insults and often obscenities, when I have written articles calling for pressure on Democratic politicians to do the right thing, whether that is impeaching the last president and vice president for war crimes or in the case of our new president, standing and fighting for a people's bailout, instead of a Wall Street bailout.
The common refrain I hear is that the Democrats and Republicans are the same, and that we need a third party. Another common refrain is that "all you suckers" who voted for Obama are to blame. We should have voted for Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader, they say.
Now I have nothing against McKinney and Nader. That ticket would make for a wonderful administration, I agree. But I also have to point out that there is zero chance of these two people being elected in my lifetime (I'm 59 and pretty healthy) or theirs.
This Nation Needs a Fighter in the White House, not a Gabber and Glad-Hander
By Dave Lindorff
If the disaster of the so-called "stimulus" bill just passed by the Senate doesn't convince President Obama and his advisers that the strategy of "bipartisanship" that he has been espousing is a political suicide, nothing will.
The Republican Party, with the willing help of conservative Democrats like Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Democratic turncoats like Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), has forced Obama to agree to a joke of a stimulus package that is nearly half composed of tax breaks which will do nothing to bolster the economy (since most of the money will end up either paying down credit card debt or buying Chinese and Sri Lankan imports) and that is stripped of $40 billion to help struggling state and local governments.
Fresh from its rout in November, the GOP is, in fact, openly trying to sabotage Obama's economic stimulus plan, because the last thing Republicans want to see is an economy on the upturn in 2010 or 2012.
Top US Lawyer Warns of Deaths at Guantánamo
Top US lawyer warns of deaths at Guantánamo
By Mark Townsend and Paul Harris | Guardian UK
Lieutenant-Colonel Yvonne Bradley, an American military lawyer, will step through the grand entrance of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London tomorrow and demand the release of her client - a British resident who claims he was repeatedly tortured at the behest of US intelligence officials - from Guantánamo Bay. Bradley will also request the disclosure of 42 secret documents that allegedly chronicle not only how Binyam Mohamed was tortured, but may also corroborate claims that Britain was complicit in his treatment.
Gloomy Outlook from Business Experts
By Dave Lindorff
Amid the news that retail sales have fallen for the fourth straight month, that housing prices continue to slump, and that another 600,000 workers were laid off in the month of January—the largest number in one month since 1974—comes word from some experts in the business community that things are not going to be getting better soon, and that when they do, they will not get back to the way things were in 2006 or early 2007, before the recession began.
In an interview I did for the trade publication Investment Management Weekly on Thursday, Putnam Investments' global asset allocation head Jeffrey Knight said that while the stimulus could "help to prevent a Great Depression sequel," at the same time "Those who measure prosperity against the Faustian opulence of the last 10 years may find that stability, equilibrium and even recovery will still feel like a deep depression."
TomGram: Whistling Past the Afghan Graveyard
Whistling Past the Afghan Graveyard: Where Empires Go to Die
By Tom Engelhardt | TomDispatch.com
It is now a commonplace -- as a lead article in the New York Times's Week in Review pointed out recently -- that Afghanistan is "the graveyard of empires." Given Barack Obama's call for a greater focus on the Afghan War ("we took our eye off the ball when we invaded Iraq..."), and given indications that a "surge" of U.S. troops is about to get underway there, Afghanistan's dangers have been much in the news lately. Some of the writing on this subject, including recent essays by Juan Cole at Salon.com, Robert Dreyfuss at the Nation, and John Robertson at the War in Context website, has been incisive on just how the new administration's policy initiatives might transform Afghanistan and the increasingly unhinged Pakistani tribal borderlands into "Obama's War."
A New Administration, Tired Old Policies
A New Administration, Tired Old Policies
by Stephen Lendman
In Part I of his year-end analysis, money manager and market strategist Jeremy Grantham assessed the global economic crisis:
"Greed + Incompetence + A Belief in Market Efficiency = Disaster. Greed and reckless overconfidence on the part of almost everyone caused (risk avoidance) to a degree that is probably unparalleled in breath and depth in American history." The aftershocks hit everywhere. Tremors continue. No safe harbors exist. Buckle up. Turbulence and convulsions are ahead. Grantham is worried and angry.
The current disaster could have been avoided by moving early against asset bubbles. We didn't, so it will "be devilishly hard" to fix things. "We are deep in the pickle jar, and it seems likely that, in terms of economic pain, 2009 will be the worst year (ever) in the lives" of most everyone.
Obama Supports Bush Secrecy About U.S.-Sponsored Torture
Obama Supports Bush Secrecy About U.S.-Sponsored Torture
By Daphne Eviatar | Washington Independent
The Obama administration may have just failed the first big test of its promises to end unwarranted government secrecy.
According to a decision issued Wednesday by the High Court in Great Britain, the court will not publish its summary of the alleged torture of Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed because the U.S. government threatened to end intelligence cooperation with the British if it did.
Mohamed, a lawful U.K. resident, claims he was seized by U.S. agents in Pakistan and tortured before being "extraordinarily rendered" to Morocco to be tortured some more.
Small Change: Obama's Betrayal
By Dave Lindorff
Just two weeks after his historic inauguration ceremony, Obama's presidency is lurching towards failure, and not because three of his administration picks have been found to be tax cheats, but because nearly all of his administration picks are corporate whores and shills.
The problem with the new Obama administration is that it is turning out to be not about change at all, as he claimed during the campaign, but rather about more of the same—and these are not times that call for more of the same. Nor is more of the same the reason Obama won the election.
The economic team President Obama has put in place is composed of the same Wall Street hacks and conservative economic theologians who helped produce the current crisis, many of them as part of the Clinton administration, and some, like Timothy Geithner, actually as appointees of the thoroughly discredited Bush administration.
Would It Kill Us to Apologize to Iran for the Coup?
When President Obama told al-Arabiya, "if countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us," the most widely reported Iranian response was President Ahmedinijad's suggestion that if the U.S. truly wants good relations with Iran, it should begin by apologizing for U.S. "crimes" against Iran, including U.S. support for the coup that overthrew Iranian democracy in 1953.
Not surprisingly, there hasn't exactly been a groundswell of popular support in the United States for President Ahmadinejad's suggestion. Just 11% of U.S. voters think America should apologize for "crimes" against Iran, according to a poll from Rasmussen.

Generals' Revolt Threatens Obama Presidency
By Dave Lindorff
If an article by Gareth Porter in run by InterPress is correct that CentCom Commander Gen. David Petraeus and Iraq Commander Gen. Ray Odierno, backed by a group of lower-ranking generals, are planning to mount a public campaign to try and undermine President Obama's plan for a withdrawal from Iraq in 16 months, Obama needs to act fast and nip this dangerous act of insubordination in the bud.
Dennis Ross Back at State? Has He Been Vetted for Conflicts of Interest?
NBC's Andrea Mitchell is reporting that Dennis Ross "will be coming back to the State Department as a "strategic advisor" on the near east and gulf region":
He will not be described as an envoy negotiating agreements and will not be involved in Middle East talks. That job will be up to former Sen. George Mitchell, who returns tonight from his first "listening tour" of the region.
But before the papers are signed for Ross' new employment with the US government, he should be asked a few questions about his relationship with the "Jewish People Policy Planning Institute," that group's relationship to the Government of Israel, and whether he has had any relationships which he should have disclosed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Republicans Devoted to Keeping Filibuster Excuse Alive: And So Apparently Are Democrats
WASHINGTON(AP) - New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg says he would only agree to become President Barack Obama's commerce secretary if his home state governor appoints a Republican to serve out the rest of his term.
In a statement Monday, Gregg says Senate leaders of both parties understand his condition. New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch confirmed that understanding in his own statement Monday.
An emerging deal would allow Republicans to keep the seat for two years and deny Democrats a filibuster-proof majority of 60 senators. Democrats, meanwhile, appear to stand a better chance of flipping the seat into their ranks in 2010 than if Gregg stayed and ran for a fourth term.
Gregg is Obama's second choice for the Cabinet position. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson withdrew from consideration because of a grand jury probe into state contracts.
On the Measure of Barack Obama
By Benjamin G. Davis, Associate Professor of Law, University of Toledo College of Law
(commentary adapted from a presentation on January 19, 2009 at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration at DePaul University Law School)
As I believe all Americans of whatever political persuasion, I exulted in our remarkable moment as a country when Barack Obama took the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States of America. This remarkable American moment has also had resonances on the international plane as I have understood from commentators that a comparison has been made to the election of Nelson Mandela in South Africa a few years ago, that Obama is both a President and immediately an iconic transformative figure. I have also heard and read the commentators who speak to us of the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. having been achieved in this moment.

How Cooking For The Taliban Gets You Life In Guantánamo
Those of us who prefer justice to arbitrary and unaccountable detention without charge or trial were delighted when, last week, Barack Obama fulfilled a long-stated promise and issued a presidential order stating that Guantánamo will be closed "as soon as practicable, and no later than one year from the date of this order," and establishing an immediate review of the cases of the remaining 242 prisoners to work out whether they can be released.

subbing for inspiration
Am spending the afternoon making calls and have:
1) cancelled my monthly cell phone plan to make it pay-as-you-go so I can better control costs
2) added an extra $10 to each bi-weekly car loan pymts to make it pay off faster (and learned I can add extra payments at any time which go straight to the principal -- whether it's $0.10 or $100); the lady said it would cut back my repayment term by like 2 years!!! I don't see how that can be possible but if it's true, I will be a very happy camper! Then that freed up money can be used for other things like paying off other debts and/or increasing savings;
3) inquired about increasing my deductible for auto insurance to reduce monthly payments, but my policy renews in about 2 mos. so they told me to call back then.
Next I will see about transferring a credit card debt to a lower interest rate.
Inspiration Mamas!!!!
Sometimes I scrape together the children's outgrown clothes to take to the second hand store to make some extra money. Usually I get no more than $20 out of the effort. Makes me wonder if it's worth the gas.
I've tried selling some things on Craigslist before but with very little success.
I've sold some things to Cash Converters... that reminds me, I should go there again with a few pieces of jewellery. Sigh! But you gotta do what you gotta do.
Enjoying this thread, thank you mamas!

Just like Mama's Hope from Huger, SC– Verified Buyer My husband wanted a stainless steel muffin pan like his Mama's. He is very pleased with the pan and the cooking results! |
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Muddy Boots from Indiana– Verified Buyer Loved this pan. Love the stainless steel. It cleans up so nicely, and baking with it was wonderful! No complaints! |

Boxing Training Is For Women!
Boxing training is a great, all-body workout. Unfortunately, very few of the women would stay around long enough to discover how boxing training could benefit them. What really bothered me is that the women would disappear from the class quicker than the men. They would start out being excited about trying something new. They would ask a lot of intelligent questions. Then after a week or so had gone by, the women would slowly trickle out. By the end of the eight week class session, I often would find myself being the only woman left standing in the gym -- again. I began to wonder why, and I finally came to some conclusions. . . . . .most of the women were not familiar with the sport of boxing. . . . . . .most of the women expected the boxing gym to operate similar to the health clubs they had attended before. . . . . .most of the women felt they had to spar in order to participate even though that wasn't a requirement to train. . . . . .and some of the women were intimidated by sharing a gym with a bunch of sweaty, grunting guys -- I was too, in the beginning! When I realized those things, I decided to do what I could to make women who came to the gym feel comfortable. Besides being a great workout, boxing is also a lot of fun! The purpose of this site is to help women who may be interested in the sport get the information they need -- whether they just want to get in shape or plan to compete in tournaments -- or both! |
