You've Tried The Rest Now Try The Vest
While my beloved Tampa Bay Lightning were putting on their sweaters in preparation for what would be a heartbreaking loss at home, another warrior halfway across the country was putting on a sweater vest for what would be an unexpected hat trick. GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum shocked the country yesterday by winning primaries or caucuses in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado. The question of whether Republican primary voters would abandon their flirtation with the mushy middle appears to have been answered.
For some time now primary voters seemed to be following the William F. Buckley rule that you nominate the most conservative candidate who can win. Conventional wisdom has, up till now, held that this candidate was Mitt Romney. The thought was that only Mitt Romney could attract the independent voters required to win a close general election and polling data appeared to back this up. The assumption was also that these independent voters were mostly moderates and that a true conservative candidate could not connect with these voters. Only a liberal Republican could entice these voters to pull the lever for the GOP in the general election.
I believe that this thinking is flawed and that most independents are actually undocumented Republicans or Democrats fleeing the party due to its extreme liberal positions on almost every issue. I guess we'll find out if I'm right come November. In any case, it appears that the GOP electorate in Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota may have come to the same conclusion as I in regards to the independent vote, which is that most of the independents will fall in line behind the eventual GOP nominee as long as he can differentiate himself from President Obama. That being the case, it makes sense to vote for the most conservative candidate available. This appears to be Rick Santorum. Questions surrounding Mitt Romney's conservative credentials probably had much to do with the outcome since many conservatives regard him as a liberal with no clear delineation between himself and President Obama. Also in this mix and a likely decision driver is the memory of Bob Dole and John McCain, both moderates, losing to their Democrat opponents in the general election. "Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss" just isn't going to fly this time around as voters are looking for a bold alternative to Obama.
Mr. Romney's campaign appears to be cratering and he no longer looks like a lock for the nomination. Newt Gingrich's fortunes appear to be fading fast also as his campaign falls into disarray. Polling now indicates that Mitt Romney would lose against Obama in the general election and that Rick Santorum would win by a slim margin. More and more it looks like Santorum is the most conservative candidate and that he can in fact win.

Transitive Relationships
16th January – 4th March 2012
Limerick City Gallery of Art, Pery Square
Lucy Andrews, Ramon Kassam, Emmet Kierans, Kevin Kirwan, Bea McMahon, Laura McMorrow, Mark O'Kelly, Magda Marysia Wieckiewicz
Transitive Relationships takes the experimental format of inviting two established Irish artists to nominate the participation of three emergent practitioners. Bea McMahon and Mark O'Kelly have selected the best emergent practitioners from the East and West of the country; Lucy Andrews, Kevin Kirwan, Magda Marysia Wieckiewicz, Ramon Kassam, Emmet Kierans and Laura McMorrow.
The initial selection parameters associated with media, demographic, gender and geography shifted as the process progressed and the current artworks in the exhibition were selected. Further tentative relationships have emerged between the artworks.
The fears and anxieties suggested by some of the artworks are perhaps associated with a zeitgeist of the national mood and our current tenuous economic position. Threads of interests include abjection, sinister undertones, apocalpytic threatenings, materials poised on a moment of change and a process based interest. Curated by Dr. Pippa Little.

Posted by David as 890 ESPN, Bob Halloran, Entercom, Jesamy Tang, Michael Felger, Mike Salk, Shots, WEEI, WEEI.com
By David Scott
Boston Sports Media Watch
Local sports talk station, 890 ESPN has officially announced the changes which have been reported here at Scott's Shots in recent weeks. The release from 890 follows and clears up some my confusion over the afternoon drive times (there's a noon-2 p.m. slot and a 4-6 p.m., meaning in total, it's one hour more than the 3-hour block Felger used to give 890. Post Mike & Mike and the in-between slot will be filled with ESPN's national programming line-up):
Fresh New Voices and Boston Perspectives Highlight Program Change
BOSTON – August 11, 2008 – In a move to expand local programming and help meet Boston's insatiable appetite for local sports talk, 890 ESPN Radio today announced a new afternoon and drive time program line up.
Beginning Thursday, August 14, WCVB-TV 5 news and sports anchor Bob Halloran will team with current 890 sports reporter Mike Salk for "Salk & Halloran" which will run weekdays between noon and 2pm.
A new drive time show, "Lew and Mike," hosted by the sports talk team of Lew and Mike (Lew Goldstein and Mike Vallee) will air between 4pm and 6 pm. The "Lew and Mike Show" had run on AM 1510 The Zone.
"These moves allow us to supplement our local sports talk and Boston sports news which our listeners cannot get enough of," said 890 ESPN program director Len Weiner. "Boston is America's number one sports town and ESPN is America's number one sports brand. We are excited to expand our programming and offer more new local voices along with the resources and great talent at ESPN."
Halloran's entry into the station lineup is a welcome home of sorts. Before joining WCVB's SportsCenter 5, Halloran was at ESPNews where he spent three years as an anchor and writer for ESPN.com. He is also the author of "Irish Thunder: The Hard Life and Times of Micky Ward," published by The Lyons Press.
Mike Salk has been 890 ESPN's Red Sox reporter for the past two years, and will continue in that role. He also can be heard on ESPN's national programming.
The "Lew and Mike Show" at AM 1510 meanwhile has earned a significant response and a reputation for edgy sports commentary and news by two local opinionated and enthusiastic sports observers.
"I'm confident that 890′s listeners will embrace these new shows. It's a new day for 890 ESPN, and we look forward to perhaps bringing even more local programming to the station." said Weiner.
• It appears that Jessamy Tang is taking a very hands-off approach on the public side of this one. This is clearly Len Weiner's baby and the latest rumor from Schrafft's central has the station's program director also assuming the roles of producer for L&M. It appears Kevin Winter will be the SportsCenter update guy for the afternoon drive. Not sure yet who will fill that role for the Noon show, but Felger's old producer, Ross "Lisa Loeb" Carey, is set to pilot the Salk and Halloran show.
• Instant analysis: Does the move do anything to "move the needle" for 890.
Barely. The biggest positive is that 890 is getting a chance at a different slot in which to challenge WEEI. "Dale and Holley" is not nearly as strong as The Big Show and the chance exists that Salk and Halloran will be able to borrow a few more sets of ears at the outset, but whether they'll be keep them is quite a variable to have to deal with.
For a search that supposedly included the semi-sexy names of Ron Borges, Andy Gresh, Ryen Russillo and others, the fact that Tang's Gang is left with two Mikes, a Lew and a Bob is hardly pulsating.
And let's not forget the little fact that WEEI is about to embark on a complete website overhaul that will fortify even further it's radio stations' (WEEI and WRKO) stranglehold on the market. Not only will WEEI continue to be the 50,000 watt monster that it is, but it will now be able to package what insiders are saying will be a "substantial" and "creative" web set-up at WEEI.com. "It will be like what ESPN is able to do with all its platforms," said a person familiar with the dot-com's business plan.
So, we'll give 890 credit for re-shaping its line-up, but we'll also remember that most of the contracts it was offering talent were for 13-week deals. That's one fiscal quarter's time to make hay and it took Felger almost three full years to even make a recognizable dent.
• Weiner hints at "perhaps" bringing more local programming to 890. That would presumably be beyond the "Metro Gameday" show which will continue from 6 to 7 p.m. though the end of baseball season.
If they could only grab two unknowns for afternoon drive, it's hard to imagine what else they'd put on the air with even more local offerings. Probably better off to wait and see how this shake-up goes before committing to more chazerai.
Could be helpful to 890 to actually know that Halloran is more than a sports anchor at WCVB. NOTE: They had it right, my bad. He does weekend news anchor duties mostly. They love him for his versatility. Sort of a Scott Wahle-alike. Or a Gene Lavanchy-type.
• Interesting turn of a phrase: ". . . has earned a significant response and a reputation for edgy sports commentary and news. . . " My Google search of the duo (even with their last names) found nothing significant or edgy.
• No idea what all this is about, but as one local scribe said to us last week, "You'll miss Schilling when he's not around."
Rick Mc1
Bobo Halloran is an idiot (the first draft of his Mickey Ward book was written in crayon) and a bore to listen to. That show will stink but not as bad as Cowherd.
Looky Lou2
no, the move does NOTHING to "move the needle" for 890….once again, NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN HEAR 890…..until they get a stronger signal they are a NON-FACTOR…..nobody can compete with the 50,000 WATT MONSTER that is WEEI
Saying "it's a new day for 890," doesn't actually mean it's a better day. ESPN being the top "sports brand" doesn't amount to anything for radio in this town.
Also, David, I was hoping your Monday recap would have included the newest low for Butch Stearns – doing his fantasy football draft for everyone to hear while hosting a solo show on WEEI this weekend. It was truly bad radio, almost Lobel-esque.
Lew and Mike's morning show has provided an excellent alternative to Dennis and Callahan's sports show that has too much non-sports content and it's cool that there will be still be counterprogramming in the morning with the Young Guns. And I'll listen to Lew and Mike when the Big Show turns into one big scream sessioni or is in one of their 20 minute breaks.
Rick Mc5
"And I'll listen to Lew and Mike when the Big Show turns into one big scream sessioni or is in one of their 20 minute breaks."
So you will be listening to Lew and Mike all the time. The Big Show is useless except for McAdam and he even has his faults.
Scott.. ENOUGH!!!!! with the 890 crap.. nobody can hear it. ErFuckingGo: nobody gives a shit.
You do realize you might have a more than a BackBay audience right? Is that all you want this site to be ? Just a local media blog with the relevance of a Roche Bros. circular ?
Step it up.
Alan Greenspan7
I say keep up the 890 stuff. I live in Watertown and it's true that you lose the signal when the electric trolley comes by but I still like an alternative – especially in the morning.

DALLAS - From the push for a St. Patrick's Day parade to a community garden in Deep Ellum, a new Web site is helping small donations lead to big projects.
The site, called Crowdtilt, has provided a future to the Deep Ellum Urban Gardens - a place for vegetables, herbs, arts and more.
"When you really crunch the numbers, you realize you really need a fence, planters, dirt, and pathways," said Paula Ramirez with the Deep Ellum Community Association. "[The garden project] quickly accumulated to $25,000."
Struggling for funding, Ramirez turned to Crowdtilt, proving power in numbers. People can donate as little as $5 to help the greater goal.
"The biggest challenge we had was to make it as simple as possible," said James Beshara with Crowdtilt.
Beshara said organizers like Ramirez choose the so-called "fiscal tilting point." The moment that level is hit, donors are actually charged the amount they wish to give.
Four weeks into the campaign, the urban garden "tilted."
"Our tilting point was $10,000, but we reached $13,000, and because of word of mouth, we had people calling in to donate," Ramirez said.
From wholesale wood to fencing at cost, people were donating services in addition to cash... all because Crowdtilt is set up to share through social media sites.
Now the garden is moving forward.
And while Ramirez admits the money was the most basic need, she walked away with a lot more.
"It created awareness like crazy," she said, adding: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

By David Scott
Boston Sports Media Watch
At least one of next Monday's Marathon men will have a tough choice of which banner (or masthead) to run underneath.
"Maybe I'll wear a shirt with the Boston Herald on the front and the Lawrence Eagle Tribune on the back," laughed Rob Bradford, who will still be working for the Trib on Monday, but is on his way to the Herald, as he confirmed to Shots on Tuesday night during his drive home to Beverly after a long day at Fenway.
An Essex, Mass.-native, Bradford, who has distinguished himself locally and more and more nationally with his "outside the box" approach to sports (especially Sox) coverage, will likely be on the Herald's team by the time the Sox visit The Bronx on the weekend of April 27.
"I'm looking forward to [the move from the 50,000 circulation E-T to the 245,000 circ. Herald]," said Bradford. "You have a lot of people who are able to work together – I've never had that opportunity. I want a crack at competing on an even playing field – I did everything I could at the paper I was at. There are disadvantages to being competitive on the Sox beat when you're at a suburban newspaper."
Now, instead of worrying about having to be in four places at once and fretting over missing something from a Terry Francona presser Bradford will be able to share responsibilities with sports editor Hank Hryniewicz's deep, talented Sox beat team that includes baseball guys, Jeff Horrigan, Michael Silverman and still-connected general columnist, Tony Mazz (in addition to columnists, Karen Guergian and Old Time Baseball Steve Buckley).
"The thing is – my job at the E-T was great. I never once sent out a resume while I was there and I was allowed [by sports editor and Robert Goulet biographer, Bill Burt] to do what I do," said Bradford, a father of three children under 10 years old and husband to Jen. "To even think that when a Boston paper comes at you that you have to think twice and ask yourself, 'Do you want to leave it?' That says something about what I was able to do at the E-T. They were great to be honest with you. Bill was really understanding [about my leaving after less than two years at Lawrence] and if it wasn't for him none of this could have been possible for me. How many suburban papers would allow me to have the freedom to do what I did?
"But how can you go wrong when the Herald says, 'We want to you cover baseball keep doing what you're doing' – find stories that are maybe off the beaten track. I'm jacked about the chance."
Even with uncertainty at the Herald (and all newspapers for that matter) Bradford sees the opportunity as one he couldn't pass up.
"For a paper that people are constantly saying, 'They going to be out of business,' I see it as a pretty positive sign that they're bringing me on. Little things like getting agents to return phone calls will be helped when I can say I'm from the Boston Herald. You can say all you want about the uncertain future at the Herald, but for me this is an opportunity to take a crack at greatness."
The magnitude of the move was not lost on many of Bradford's peers who he said were tremendous on Tuesday at Fenway's Opening Day. "It was really nice for people to say not only congratulations to me, but for people to say, 'You really deserve it.' Whether I did or not, it was nice to hear."
He surely does deserve it and the Boston Marathon runner who hopes to clock in around four hours on Monday seems to know it.
"I've taken a weird route to this," said Bradford. "I was sports editor at small paper (the Gloucetser Times) and then I went to School Sports magazine and then the Lowell Sun for five years. None of it adds up to being a beat writer for the Red Sox for the Herald."
But that's exactly what he'll be in two weeks time.
If you root for the self-made guys – as we tend to do – Bradford is your rooting interest for sure.
. . . Sox beat responsibilities are not entirely clear with Bradford now joining the mix, but a 1 p.m. Wednesday meeting with the other writers and editors was scheduled to help in sorting things out. It might be a chance for Bradford to bring some his blogging prowess over to the Clubhouse Insider or to break off a bit and build on the momentum of his Bradford on Baseball blog. Hank Herald would be wise to build on B.O.B. and use that to help lure in advertisers.
. . . Yes, the Globe should be shaking in their Borges Booties at this development. Sheer numbers alone are one thing, but the hustle and doggedness of Horrigan, Silverman and Bradford could be enough to shake the very foundation of the 17 percenters' Sox coverage team of Gordon Edes, Nick Cafardo and still-emerging Amalie Benjamin.
. . .Bradford's WEEI responsibilities can continue under his new job's parameters (the Herald has a healthy relationship with 'EEI through Buckley, Gerry Callahan and Tony Mazz) and Bradford readily admits that both 'EEI and his blog have been helpful in his career climb up the newspaper charts.
"To be honest without 'EEI and Blog, especially for someone like me who is at a suburban paper, it's all about exposure, " said Bradford. "'EEI gets your voice out – more important and the blog sort of put it over the top in terms of giving the voice. I had a lot of informatioin that was either getting buried or not used. The blog is an easy way for people to see it. Also, 'EEI gives you the ultimate thick skin, which helps."
. . . Bradford Trivia: He was an intern at NESN in 1991 and still has his Sox press credential from that stint.
. . . Once again, the Eagle-Trib proves to be a great breeding ground as Bradford joins John Tomase as the second straight E-Ter to jump to the Herald.
"It was a really great job and I have to credit John beacuse he built that job when he was there," said Bradford.
. . . Which brings us to early names in the mix to perhaps fill the Bradford spot at the Eagle-Tribune, including Alex Speier (Union Leader and the Metro), Joe Haggerty (Woburn and the Metro) and, although he's a Pats guy, Albert Breer of the MetroWest, who was in the mix for the opening at the Herald. Breer's a bulldog and depsite his Pats' leanings, he would be a huge asset to a suburban paper that allows its writers freedom.
. . . Great quote from Bradford on the Sox beat and the competition that will continue to be amped up with the Globe: "The Red Sox beat is so great because that's where the juice is at. There's no other beat maybe in sportswriting that has as much energy and excitement as the Red Sox beat."

HELP: Nested Spry:repeats
Is it possible to have nested spry:repeats that switch data? Is it possible to so using HTMLDataSets?
Basically what I am trying to do is read some HTML tables, located in external files, and bring it in as content for a series of list. Something like this:
Grades.html : Which has a table of the all the Grade levels.
Kinder.html , First.html , Second.html ... Sixth.html : Each containing 3 tables, Announcements, Teachers, and Resources
right now what I am doing is having a spry:repeat for EACH html file, which work fine, but i am a perfectionist and this requires that I code 19 individual spry repeats
What i kind not find is a way to use the data from on binding , Grade,
to select the next group of bindings...
I guess what I am trying to ask is how do you dynamically change the "string" that calls the spy action. example : spry:repeatchildren="I need to be changed and {this part needs to be changed::Text}?

Internet Explorer as a Multi-Platform Browser
So I have been using Internet Explorer for about a year now and just can't get the fact that it isn't the browser it used to be, In fact it's actually the browser that I use the most now but there is one thing that keeps me from making it the browser of my choice and that is the Availability of the Browser on other platforms and that for me is a big issue.
I don't know about you guys but most of the people that I am around with are using devices with different Operating Systems and I am one of them and I really want to be in sync with all that I do on the web and Microsoft promoting Internet Explorer as the Browser of tomorrow it really should be available on more platforms.
So what do you think?

Very off-topic, but how dysfunctional is the front-office of the Grizzlies? I know the Clippers don't have the best track record, but come on...
They draft Hasheem Thabeet 2nd overall, knowing he's a project, only to trade him for a few months of Shane Battier.
Then, if the Hornets hadn't nixed the deal, they almost traded OJ Mayo, their 'prized talent' (3rd pick) for Josh McRoberts and a pick (projected 15th as of now). Talk about buying high and (almost) selling low.... (BTW is that the NBA's new strategy, buying a team that Memphis want's to deal with in order to nix the deal? They should have bought the Lakers before the Pau Gasol trade)
Their high picks before that: Rudy Gay and Mike Conley are paid rediculous amounts of money, hampering their ability to resign Marc Gasol. (Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for your Memphis Grizzlies starting center: Hameeeeed Haaadaaaadiiiiii..........)
How long before Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay engage in bare-fisted combat?

Your View: Bird Rock market would help our schools
I strongly support the proposed Bird Rock Farmers Market. I firmly believe that the community can and will support both the existing Sunday morning market as well as this second neighborhood venture. The Bird Rock Farmers Market promises to be a truly neighborhood gathering with shoppers coming by foot, wagon and bikes.
Certainly traffic is always a concern, but the very layout of this market and the limited accessibility for vehicular traffic outside of the surrounding area seems to speak somewhat to that concern. The experience and success of the market manager should not be downplayed; she runs several thriving neighborhood markets in San Diego and has strong ties to the local farming community.
With the delivery of 1,000s of pink slips to San Diego school teachers this week, local schools need as much help and additional funds as we can give them to continue to thrive.

Actually I loved everything about the place, except the parking situation. The room was cozy and comfortable. The breakfast was divine! The chef was fun to talk to and the other guests were interesting. My only small complaint is parking. Once I arrive, I park my car and take the convenient Metro - a 10 min. walk to the Red Line at Dupont circle. But parking is a bit of a hassle with the nearest long term lot a block away or so. When lugging stuff for a week long stay, that's a pain. That said, I'll be back with some frequency.

Great location only a 10 minute walk to Dupont Circle Metro, several restaurants less than 10 minutes walk away, 1 mile from the White House about 2 miles from the National Mall and the Smithsonian Museums & Monument, safe upscale residential neighborhood. We appreciated the free WiFi and 24/7 self serve hot beverage and cookies. Breakfast was absolutely delicious every single morning. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was very beautifully decorated...very comfy bed.

I am so glad you enjoyed staying at our Washington DC Inn. Thank you so much for taking time off your busy schedule to write the review, it is greatly appreciated.

Good: such friendly, helpful staff who create a family-like atmosphere, as do the rooms which, while small, are furnished with antiques and are incredibly clean and well-kept. We were offered daily room cleaning, but declined because we didn't need it, and we were clearly told the times for breakfast which was a lovely selection of fruit, a yummy omelette, and other things like muffins and croissants, and juice/coffee/ lots of different teas. Bad: we already knew from TripAdvisor that people had whinged about the creaky stairs (solved by staying on the top floor in room 401) and the smallness of the rooms (we are easy to please and I found it fine and cosy - besides, we weren't there all day).

On a ten day business trip to DC, I really appreciated staying at the American Guest House. Experienced in standard and boring 4star hotels, I had been looking for something different, more humane and cosy. I definitely wasn't disappointed! The two rooms I stayed in were great, the quality of the equipment and the retro feeling of the furniture - special pieces altogether - invites for relaxing moments after busy work days. And the warmth of the place does not only stem from the wooden floors, walls with frames and the beautiful staircase - the manager, Jonathan, and Joseph, made the difference. Extremely helpful and courteous, and real professionals, they are always up for an interesting chat. Finally, let's mention the rich breakfast: a pleasure to start a day like this! For sure, staying at this guesthouse made a difference in my trip... I can only smile when I think about my colleagues who stayed in one of those dusty and anonymous hotels with hundreds of rooms.... Thank you!

This was our first time at a B&B so we did not know what to expect. We were caught up looking around at all the beautiful and ornate woodwork. Nice rooms, very clean and comfortable. The innkeepers were all very nice. We really liked the closeness to DuPont circle...just a couple blocks away.

We were on a two week trip that included the Waldorf in NY City and another luxury hotel in Texas. We spent 4 nights at the American Guest House while in Washington. It was clearly our favorite of all the places we stayed. Considering all aspects from room quality, price, staff kindness, and location, I would choose everytime to stay at the American Guest House. The Inn Keeper is an especially helpful person and we enjoyed the interaction with the other guest at breakfast each morning. When I am in DC, this is my first choice.

Lucia, Claudio, and Jonathan, The best part of my recent stay in DC was my lodging at the American Guest House. The cordial staff, always pleasant smiles, their willingness to provide us with information, and everything else we needed, made our stay a wonderful four days. Your American Guest House will definitely be recommended by us to family, friends, and co-workers. Jonathan, I want to thank you for your delicious breakfasts that you made for us in the morning. What a great way to begin our work days while there.

With breakfast thrown in, this is a superb value for DC. Innkeeper Jonathan was attentive, breakfast was delicious. Drawbacks - not near Metro station; mattress sagged in the middle, making for less than ideal sleep.
Risposta del proprietario
DuPont Circle metro station is only 1/2 mile away, no more than a 10 minutes walk or you can take metrobus 42 right in front of the guest house to the metro station and ride it for about 3 minutes. As for the mattress condition, we are very sorry for the inconvenience to our guest and apologize for the discomfort, we were not aware of the problem, checked the mattress and it seemed OK but have replaced it to assure comfort to all our guests.

The building is lovely and well-kept. Everything was neat and clean and beautiful. The staff was helpful above and beyond the call. From the exceptionally warm and friendly welcome to the beautifully prepared breakfast, the careful attention to my room, and help with arranging my very early cab to the airport, I truly appreciate the diligent service. As a single woman traveling alone, I felt welcome, safe, and respected. I highly recommend American Guest House.

We all love a sport that is always changing, and it seems more so of late, and it is going to continue with the yearly rule changes. Roger Goodell isn't he most popular head honcho of the league we have ever had, but being the world's number one sport's commissioner is going to get a lot of criticism. The NFL is basically its own country and Goodell is our current president who has to work with the senate(NFLPA) and the house(the owners), so at least there is diplomacy and he is not responsible for all of the blame or praise.
There has been and is time and money being spent on pushing for the league to become world wide, but I think that could be decades away. Minnesota is scheduled to play in London next year, missing out on a home game. That will be more useful and tolerated by fans that feel their team is put in an unfavorable situation playing overseas, when the Metrodome is actually being demolished and will be not truly playing at home until the new stadium is complete. I think the league needs and should expand, but I would focus on this hemisphere for now, as Canada is a lot more idealistic for breaking outside of the United States for where the league is at right now in time.
I have my own idea of changes I felt should have been implemented some time ago, as well as some new ideas. I am mainly just going to focus on the inevitable 18 game schedule being put into place. This topic has been the subject of a lot of talk, as well as scrutiny, as there are so many variables of the season being changed from 16 to 18 games. I think one of the main reasons it hasn't already happened is because of the revelations to the entire world of the long term effect of concussions are having, and have been having on former players. They are taking better and more measures to limit and reduce the damage that has been and being done. There needs to be as much done to protected players, because the threat of taking away the important aspects of the game is real.
It will happen, whether you are for or against it. I feel there should be other things put in place to go along with it as well though. What we are really talking about is extending the season to increase profits. Most do want a longer season, but do not want to compromise the health of the players even more. Those for, talk about adding another bye week as to alleviate the strain. I believe there already needs to be another bye week added right now with the current amount of games being played; that gives the league another week of profits and the fans another week of football.
When the eventual 18 game schedule is unveiled, I believe there has to be a total of three bye weeks throughout the regular season. I also recognize the timing factor, and think instead of the week after Labor Day for the starting point, that Labor Day should be embraced as kick off week end. Also, of course two of the preseason games will be eliminated. Though, there is always two teams that play an extra preseason game in the Hall of Fame game and I have not noticed any effect on any of the teams that ever do. With the change, the HOF game should remain the first weekend of August, but there be a week and a half in between the two preseason games.There are always locally televised scrimmages between teams that don't count as preseason games, and think that should get taken advantage of with the preseason games being reduced from four to two. This can allow the overall length of the preseason to not be reduced much or at all. It will also help remedy the reduction of preseason games that unproven guys use to showcase why they should be retained on their respected teams. Being able to keep more players on the team will make the evaluation process a little less difficult.
I think all would agree there would have to be an increase to the number of players on team's rosters; I think a minimum number to start with is five more players and one or two more added to the practices squads as well. The NFL is being more lenient with reserved/injured players, with allowing one player to be able to come back later in the season; this will also need to be increased by one, if not two players.
I think they might push the trade deadline back another week, but do not feel teams in today's NFL are too much worried about that, as by the time it is now; they are committed to the roster they have in place at that point.
Implementing basically a seven month season would make for a much busier off season as well. When free agency would start, will be a good question. Though, I feel however much sooner it will be following the Super Bowl; teams will adjust and be fine, as will the free agents themselves. The entire months of March and April would become more pressing and more interesting to the fans that watch as well. Moving the combine back so that it is still after the Super Bowl should not be a problem, the prospects' performances will be more fresh in everyone's mind, as pro days will be too when the draft takes place
Salary cap will also be a big part of the discussion, but should be kept simple. There are currently 53 players on team's rosters; divide the cap by 53 and multiply it by the agreed roster size, something like 58, if that is the agreed increased size to the rosters with the increased amount of games to the schedule. They will also have to figure in any increases to the practice squads as they, in my opinion, would need to be increased from eight to ten. I notice Minnesota's practice squad is a revolving door with a couple of players, so as to keep them somewhat available while staying within the NFL guidelines. So, I think at least with the Vikings, they would take full advantage of an increased number of practice squad players.
Increasing the size of the the schedule with the season starting on Labor Day would push the Super Bowl to the third or fourth weekend of February. Though, eventually with an 18 game schedule in place, they may want to start the season a week before Labor Day, as I think the NFL is targeting the third weekend of February. I have heard this before at least a couple of times. I, personally would be fine with Labor Day kicking off the season and the Super Bowl being on the fourth weekend of February.
Many players and fans do not want this, though, there are many that do and a lot of them are the owners. With that being said, I think somewhere between five and ten years, we will see this happen. I think I have some okay ideas, and think others have okay ideas too, and hopefully we will hear better ones that would make an 18 game schedule not just work, but be better than the current 16 game schedule.

There's a strange feeling surrounding the Carolina Panthers right now that can only be described as "faith." It's inconsequential what you believe in or for there to be any religious overtones to the word, rather it's an inalienable belief that this team can, and will win. It doesn't matter what's in front of them, they'll find a way -- it's a mood that hasn't existed before.
Carolina has had good teams in the past, even a couple of great ones, but there was never a single team you could comfortably hang your hat on and know they were going to come through. We've fallen for people in the past, so I'm not going to say "In Ron we trust," but it's wonderful to see Ron have trust in Cam Newton. This is the lost element in the whole "Riverboat Ron" persona, that it's less about having the guts to call a play on fourth-and-short, but rather having the confidence to put in all on Newton's back.
Other fanbases around the league have stopped joking, there's no more hubris directed at Carolina. Eliminated teams stare wistfully at this team's roster hoping they'll find their own Cam Newton, while playoff teams are scared. That's right, there's a degree of fear. Eight straight wins will do that, it sobers the strong takes and turns into respect -- and respect is fun.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will bounce back. They're a talented team under-performing, something we known all too much about in these parts. Mike Glennon is an exceptional rookie quarterback, he's just not ready to lead his team back from adversity. That will come in time, likely when Doug Martin has returned and the team is ready to rebound.
Glass half full...
It's so fun to see this team adjust on the fly and find go-to players. On Sunday it was Mike Tolbert, who took over for a struggling Jonathan Stewart and asserted himself in the second half. It wasn't a big time performance with 100 yards and a touchdown, but he ground out first downs when they were needed. For what it's worth I think Stewart was still banged up. He'll catch a lot of flack post-game, but I wonder if he would have played if not for DeAngelo Williams being out.
On defense it was Wes Horton's time to shine. In Week 12 we saw Mario Addison step up, and this time it was another rotational defensive end that found a way to generate pressure with Charles Johnson out. Greg Hardy played well, and now the Panthers are poised to get back Johnson for the most important game of the season -- this should be fun.
Cam Newton is so special. His presence is something that can't be quantified unless you watch every game, and his role is hard to understand without destroying your vision of what a traditional quarterback "should be." Often his legs are more dangerous that his arm, sometimes both work in concert -- but often they don't. It's about being okay with a sometimes-flawed gunslinger that will put your heart in your throat at a moments' notice.
Jake Delhomme did this to us too, but it wasn't the same. Jake heaved and threw deep, but you couldn't ask him to pick up third-and-short. Newton will, one way or another.
Glass half empty...
Are there things you want to see improved? Sure. Every team has those moments, but enjoy being a winner. This has quickly become a special season, and nit picking too much just spoils the ride.
Overall outlook
Bring it.
Hey @SaintsCSC, we're coming. See you soon! ; )

For Immediate Release
April 28, 2010
Contact: Charlie McKinney

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
(Merrimack, New Hampshire)— In his address to gathered artists in Rome last year, Pope Benedict spoke of the importance of art in the evangelization of the whole culture and how beauty is a principle that can inform all human activity – work and leisure as well as worship.
Pope Benedict noted that when man works beautifully, he works in cooperation with God's grace and is on the 'via pulchritudinis' – the Way of Beauty. This path leads man ultimately to God and which, crucially, attracts others to Him.
In response to the Pope's call to follow the Way of Beauty, Thomas More College's artist-in-residence, David Clayton, has created a blog dedicated to communicating what the culture of beauty is and focusing on the link between Catholic culture and the liturgy. Of interest to Catholics and general readers alike, the blog can be found at www.TheWayofBeauty.org.
"In my work at Thomas More College and in my travels throughout the States," said Clayton, "I have seen a tremendous demand and thirst for beauty. People want to understand more deeply the divinely-created order found in nature and make it part of their everyday lives. These ideas are rarely discussed in modern society, so I created the Way of Beauty blog in the hope of revitalizing what were once widely accepted principles: beauty in harmony with goodness and truth."
"I am an artist," said Clayton, "so much of what I talk about is focused on art, but man can do anything beautifully, and this blog will reflect that too. Already in addition to art, we have articles about creativity in science, music and prayer."
The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts launched its Way of Beauty program last year to explore these ideas through public workshops and lectures. Two courses have also been implemented into the College's core curriculum for undergraduates where students study the pattern, harmony, symmetry, and order in nature, viewed as a reflection of the Divine Order— and which are also reflected in the rhythms and cycles of the liturgy.
"Christian culture, like classical culture before it, was patterned after this cosmic order, whose unifying principles run through every traditional discipline," said Clayton. "Literature, art, music, architecture, philosophy—all creation and, potentially, all human activity—are bound together by this common harmony and receive their fullest meaning in the Church's liturgy."
Clayton added that, "These are ideas I explore with students in the classroom, and they are ideas that will now be explored publically through the Way of Beauty blog."
Clayton is also hosting a series of three programs this summer that provide training to artists and aspiring artists in iconography, naturalistic drawing, and the principles of Catholic art. More information can be found at www.ThomasMoreCollege.edu/SummerPrograms.
David Clayton is a graduate of Oxford University. He studied the academic method of naturalistic drawing at one of the leading ateliers of Florence, and has been trained in the techniques of Byzantine iconography. In addition to previous significant commissions for church art, Clayton has created for the Thomas More College chapel an icon of the Sacred Heart, another of the Madonna, and a six foot crucifix in the Gothic style that hangs over the altar.
The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts provides a four-year undergraduate education which develops young people intellectually, ethically, and spiritually in the Catholic tradition and in faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Thomas More College introduces its students to the central questions of the Western civilization – and to the Church's response. It teaches the skills in reasoning, speaking, and writing that will allow its graduates to become faithful leaders according to the individual vocations which God has given them.
If you would like to schedule an interview with President William Fahey, please contact Charlie McKinney at (603) 880-8308 or by email at email@example.com.

BELMONT beauty spot the Blue Lagoon has been sold for £50,000 — £30,000 below its asking price.
The identity of the new owners is being kept under wraps but is understood to have been bought by a Horwich-based consortium.
It is thought it will now be upgraded so it can be used for recreational purposes.
Despite getting the site for well below the £80,000 asking price, the new owners will now have to spend another £50,000 to bring the lagoon up to current flood safety standards.
The sale marks the end of a long campaign by neighbours, led by Railton Hirst, who launched an internet supporters' group to save the water.
The lake was drained in May when owner Julian Smith, the boss of Belmont Holdings, pulled the plug to avoid being penalised by the Environment Agency, but it filled again at the end of last month after sustained heavy rain.
Work needs to be carried out to bring the site up to the legal requirements demanded by the Environment Agency, which said the 150- year-old reservoir did not meet modern flood-risk standards.
The sale was agreed between Mr Smith and the new buyers on Friday.
Negotiations were brokered by North West property consultants Lamb and Swift managing director Nick Swift.
He said: "The sale went through relatively smoothly and the new owners say they will make a formal announcement about it within the next seven to 10 days.
"They are well aware of what they need to do to bring the lagoon up to standards required by the Reservoir Act 1975 at an estimated cost of around £50,000 and they have about 12 months to carry them out before the date of the next inspection in 2011."
When Mr Smith drained the lagoon it sparked outrage in Belmont.
Protester Mr Hirst launched the internet campaign to save the reservoir, which quickly attracted some 4,000 supporters.
Mr Hirst said: "It is very good news to hear the consortium from Horwich have bought the lagoon, which is, after all, a well-known local landmark.
"From what I understand the lagoon will be used for recreational purposes but we would love to meet up with them and find out what plans they have, what they want to do with it and where they want to go with it."
He said he hoped the internet campaign had had some effect on who the lagoon was sold to and said the number of internet supporters had now risen to 6,800.

Profiling JonBenét Ramsey's Murder
The first two stages of a criminal investigation are to determine whether or not a crime or crimes have been committed and if so, accurately determine what the crime(s) are. In this case, the initial appearance was that of a kidnapping for ransom, but there was a seismic shift a few hours into the investigation, when the victim's body was recovered in the house from which she had allegedly been abducted.
The process of criminal investigative analysis involves analyzing all of the physical and behavioral evidence, including all of the choices an offender makes before, during and after a crime. In a homicide, these choices include selecting a victim, choosing the method and manner of death, deciding what, if anything, to do with the body and whether or not to "stage" the crime. Staging occurs when an offender alters the crime and/or crime scene to obfuscate his involvement by presenting false motive(s) to mislead investigators. Of all of the choices that an offender makes, arguably some of the most important are choosing to do things that are otherwise unnecessary. Apparently unnecessary choices are as important to analyze as they are necessary to a particular offender, and thus may help distinguish him from other potential suspects.
Every meaningful crime analysis begins with victimology a study of the victim. The purpose of victimology is to accurately place an individual on a risk continuum from low to moderate to high, based on an analysis of the individual's lifestyle and the situational and contextual variables present at the time of the crime.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:I walked into my second hour and the room was silent. My teacher did not say a word, and a classmate of mine left the room crying. Thoughts were running through my head, I knew nothing good could come out of this, I pondered about the fact that a classmate could have passed away or maybe someone had a severe illness. As my classmates all drew there attention to the television, we saw a plane crashing into the twin towers. It was replayed over and over all day. The counciling office was full of people, everyone was crying it was a day that will never be forgotten.
Life Changed:I think everyones lives have been effected in some way shape or form. For instance, security is completly tight now in the airports and at every event involving a lot of people and especially the famous. Also my life has changed because our country is now in war with the Afganistans and the innocent people are now in danger. Its really sad that we would have to put so many people through so much, all because of one awful man. I hope some how we can find a way to get Osama and leave the country alone.
Should be remembered:I think the people who died and risked there lives to save people should definatly be most remembered. Also the fact that our country came together so much and our pride is just so huge now its amazing!
Flag:I personally don't have a flag to fly, but if I had one I would be proud to fly it. My mom has a sticker of the flag on the back window of her car. The flag still means what it meant to me before, I just have a lot more respect for our country and what its all about.

I've always been one to advocate for healthier muffins. I haven't been a huge fan of calling cupcakes "muffins" because you want to eat them at breakfast and without the frosting…
But, sometimes, you just have to play along, right? Well, maybe.
At least, I still tried to make it a little better for you. You're welcome. And you get your chocolate for breakfast too!
No, it's not a giant chocolate bomb of a muffin, but it's bursting with little chocolate chips and a hint of espresso to really get your day started! Woo hoo!
They're man-approved too. My mister told me that any muffin I make with banana is a favorite in his book, but one that he feels a need to eat for breakfast AND dessert in the same day, that's a total winner.
So go ahead, have your muffin, tell them it's not a cupcake, and laugh because it's totally dripping in Mocha Glaze (not the same as frosting, right?).
Plus, isn't Mocha Glaze just your morning coffee mixed with antioxidants (chocolate)…? Notice that I didn't say the glaze is optional. Because it's not.
Mocha-Glazed Banana Mocha Chip Muffins
(makes 15 muffins)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 eggs
½ cup granulated Stevia
3 large over-ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. instant espresso grounds
2 cups flour (white whole wheat or a gluten-free blend)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Mocha Glaze:
3 Tbs. unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/3 cup dark chocolate (or semisweet chocolate) morsels
1 tsp. instant espresso grounds
~Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Line your muffin tin with paper liners or spray the tin with nonstick spray.
~In your mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, oil and eggs, stirring quickly (with a fork) to incorporate. Then, add the Stevia, bananas, and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add the flour, espresso and baking soda and stir until completely mixed. Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix.
~Scoop the batter into the muffin liners (about 2/3-full). Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a test stick comes out clean.
~Let the muffins cool on a wire rack.
~Make the Mocha Glaze: In a microwave-safe dish, heat the almond milk until hot but not scorched (this is very quick because of the small quantity, so approximately 30 seconds). Add the chocolate to the heated milk and stir. The chocolate will melt into the milk, creating a silky glaze (if the chocolate isn't fully melted in, pop it in the microwave for another 15 seconds, but don't over heat it, just keep stirring until it fully melts in). Stir in the instant espresso.
~Spoon the Mocha Glaze over the middle of each muffin, letting it drip and spread into each crevice. Let them cool and set before serving (or serve immediately and get a little messy). Enjoy!

A Fruitful Approach to Skin Cancer
There's good, potentially fragrant, news for the more than 1 million people who've had skin cancer and don't want to see it return. According to a recent study in the Journal of Medicinal Food, extracts from the seeds of pomegranates may protect skin from damage caused by the sun.
To mimic the effects of excessive sun, researchers doused 60 mice with a chemical called TPA. After the mice developed cancer—the less dangerous basal and squamous cell types as well as melanoma —the researchers slathered half of them with pomegranate seed oil twice a week for 20 weeks. At the end of the study, the pomegranate-treated mice were 7 percent less likely to get cancer than the untreated mice. And the treated mice that did get cancer had 25 percent fewer tumors than the control group.
"In India, people think the pomegranate is God's given fruit," says lead researcher Chandrahar Dwivedi, a pharmacologist at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Certain cancer-fighting antioxidants, called polyphenols, may account for its powers, he says.
Pomegranate seed oil is available at health food stores, but it's quite sticky. Until someone comes up with a more user-friendly alternative, there's no harm in simply eating more pomegranates. "I've been eating them since
I was a child," says Dwivedi, "and so far, I don't have skin cancer."

Once again we enter another off-season without a coach and the sheer disapointment of yet
another a first round playoff loss. The past two coaches have gotten the job done. In the regular season. Brent Sutter really looked like the solid coach the Devils will have for the remainder of his time, starting in 2008. We played the New York Rangers which really killed us. Winning only 1 game in the season series. You can't blame the coaching by Sutter but you can somewhat blame the players with their aggression. But I won't dwell on that. Jacques Lemaire, well in the first half of the year he was working magic. Then it tailed off. Lines changed and fans were not happy. Here we are after a first round loss once again and without a coach. Some rumors say Therrien, some say MacLean and a rumor I would like to see happen is assistant coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, Mike Haviland.
Haviland has really built himself up for a head coaching job in the NHL coaching in the ECHL winning 2 championships and advancing to the conference finals once. He is now an assistant for a Stanley Cup bound Hawk team. He is a jersey native that won't leave the team early. He is known as controling the defense in Chicago which means the Brent Seabrook rumors could flourish once again if Haviland is the coach. Lou likes guys that are defensive. Yet Haviland can still teach how to jump in the rush and get back when you need to. He's a younger as you can say coach that knows the new NHL. He is all around offense in Chicago starting with offense to defense. But he does have some competition.
John MacLean- Really seems to be the head runner since he is already part of the team. He could be the answer but my feeling is that it's not his turn yet. Already people are quick to give it to Mac with only 1 full season coaching. I still hope Johnny gets a job in NJ, in a couple of years. He is more of the coach of a rebuilding team.
Michel Therrien- This one is a little choppy. Reports out of Pittsburgh are Therrien has the job. Yet Lou himself says he never spoke to Therrien or even asked permission yet! Personally I wouldn't mind Therrien but I see Haviland beating him out.
Kirk Muller- This is interesting. I wouldn't mind Muller but he is more of an offensive guy. Lou doesn't want an all offense guy as he stated nothing will be changed. Muller would let players such as Parise and Zajac to flourish and letting Langenbrunner and Patty skate up more. If Kovalchuk signs it can mean a 50 goal season. But what about defense?
Guy Carbonneau- I haven't read anything that stated he was a serious contender but since he was with Montreal and is on the market I would think he would draw interest. He got Montreal to the playoffs and succeeeded in Devils terms as reaching atleast the 2nd round.... He is kind of an equal coach as he pays attention to offense and defense. Plus, he played with Langenbrunner is Dallas. Maybe this could mean something. Only a little though I guess.
Ken Hitchcock- His name really was in the blogs and newspapers but since names like Muller and Haviland have come out he slipped through the cracks as you can say. I really don't see him being the answer in NJ as he is way to defensive for players such as Parise and Zajac. He doesn't have a good reputation with rookies either and with the way Lou wants to go, I don't see him being a serious contender as I see Haviland, MacLean, Carbs, and Muller beating him out.
Now it is your turn, do you agree? Is there a coach I forgot to mention? Please feel free to criticize it if you feel different about my reasons. Thanks for reading.


text: content Research supports causative role for reduced vitamin D levels in high blood pressure Friday, June 21, 2013. The annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics was the site of a presentation on June 11 by Dr Karani S. Vimaleswaran of the finding of a causative role for vitamin D in the development of hypertension. "We knew from earlier observational studies that low 25(OH)D concentrations were likely to be associated with increases in blood pressure and hypertension, but correlation is not causality", remarked Dr Vimaleswaran, of University College London. Dr. Vimaleswaran reported the findings of the D-CarDia collaboration that included over 35 studies involving up to 108,173 participants which associated higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels with lower blood pressure. To validate causation, a team of researchers examined the association of four vitamin D-related genetic variants known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with 25-hyroxyvitamin D levels and with hypertension. An association with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels was confirmed for all SNPs. The researchers uncovered an association between one SNP (CYP2R1) and diastolic blood pressure and hypertension. Following further analysis, they concluded that reduced vitamin D levels have a modest causal association with hypertension, with a 0.24 mmHg decrease in diastolic blood pressure and a 7% decrease in the risk of hypertension associated with each 10% increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. "Even with the likely presence of unobserved confounding factors, the approach we followed, known as Mendelian randomization, allows us to draw conclusions about causality because the genetic influence on disease is not affected by confounding," Dr Vimaleswaran stated. "To put it in simple terms, by using this approach we can determine the cause and effect and be pretty sure that we've come to the right conclusion on the subject." "Our study strongly suggests that some cases of cardiovascular disease could be prevented through vitamin D supplements or food fortification," he noted. "Our new data provide further support for the important non-skeletal effects of vitamin D. We now intend to continue this work by examining the causal relationship between vitamin D status and other cardiovascular disease-related outcomes such as lipid-related phenotypes, for example, cholesterol, inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, and type 2 diabetes and markers of glucose metabolism. We believe that we still have a lot to find out about the effect of vitamin D deficiency on health, and we now know that we have the tools to do so." Preventing vitamin D deficiency may help delay early puberty A presentation on June 17, 2013 at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting held in San Francisco revealed a greater risk of precocious puberty in girls with deficient levels of vitamin D in comparison with girls who entered puberty at a normal age. Early puberty in girls is defined as the onset of sexual development before the age of 8. The incidence of precocious puberty has increased over the past several decades, and girls affected by the condition may have a higher risk of breast cancer or other conditions later in life. The current research, led by Min Sun Kim, MD, PhD who is an assistant professor at Chonbuk National University Medical School in Jeonju, South Korea, included 110 girls aged 7 to 10 years, among whom 35 were categorized as having experienced precocious puberty according to the Tanner Scale. Blood samples collected from the subjects were analyzed for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and other factors. Vitamin D levels were lower on average among girls with early puberty in comparison with girls who entered puberty at a normal age. Forty-four percent of the girls who underwent precocious puberty had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were classified as severely deficient at less than 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) in comparison with 21% of the normal group. In additional experimentation, the researchers found that the administration of vitamin D suppressed the ability of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH, which triggers the ovulation process) from neurons. "If we understand more about the action mechanism of vitamin D on GnRH neuronal activities, we can find a clue to control of precocious puberty using vitamin D or related molecules," Dr Kim explained. "Our results suggest that vitamin D may inhibit early pubertal onset and/or the rapid progression of puberty, at least in part, through the suppression of NMDA-mediated GnRH neuronal excitation in humans."

A homework club at Aylesbury Library has returned for the new year to provide support for pupils and their parents.
The club, which has been attended by pupils from foundation level to GCSE with a range of subjects, takes place on Tuesday evenings.
Elizabeth Adonu, 40, who lives in Aylesbury, runs the club and she also helps pupils at various libraries in Luton.
She said: "I want to help those that are a bit lost and it takes the pressure off the parents.
"When you put children together, they tend to do better.
"They get to see other people learning and that helps them."
"I help mainly with English and Maths but it is more about motivation.
Mrs Adonu, whose two children, 11 and 9, go to school in Aylesbury, has a degree in Nursing and Psychology, as well as a Masters degree, and wrote a children's book in 2012.
Branch manager at Aylesbury Library Deborah Evans said: "We are very happy to have her here.
"She had a number of children last term and she is very keen on helping more."
The club meets every Tuesday during school term time between 4.30pm and 6.30pm at the Walton Road library.

Hillary and her Iraq vote
by Mike999, Sat Feb 16, 2008 at 10:27:17 AM EST
Yes, Hillary voted for the war (as Obama and his supporters describe her vote), but she was dooped into it like almost all of the world was. American support, at the time, was greater than 80%! Bush, and his cronies, fooled everyone with their lies. Obama supporters forget a statement he made reported by ABC News Jonathan Greenberger on May 17, 2007 (and repeated numerous times):
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/ 2007/05/obama_slams_cli.html
""I think what people might point to is our different assessments of the war in Iraq," Obama said at the time, "although I'm always careful to say that I was not in the Senate, so perhaps the reason I thought it was such a bad idea was that I didn't have the benefit of U.S. intelligence."
But this morning, Obama attacked Clinton head-on for her initial support of the war, and even accused her of trying to "revise history" on the vote."
Later in the article:
"In fact, Obama's Senate voting record on Iraq is nearly identical to Clinton's. Over the two years Obama has been in the Senate, the only Iraq-related vote on which they differed was the confirmation earlier this year of General George Casey to be Chief of Staff of the Army, which Obama voted for and Clinton voted against. Just last week, in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Obama conceded that his position on the war is not the "polar opposite" of Clinton's."

Ballet dancer paid around £1,000 for acid attack
Bolshoi Ballet dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko is alleged to have paid an alleged accomplice 50,000 rubles (approx £1,000) to carry out the attack on artistic director Sergei Filin.
Mr Filin had acid thrown into his face as he walked home in central Moscow in January, he suffered disfigurement and was almost blinded.
Pavel Dmitrichenko told a court today that he "masterminded the crime, but not to the extent to which is happened".
He said he ordered for Mr Filin to be beaten up but was "shocked" when he heard about the acid attack.
Two other alleged participants have been detained after admitting their participation in the crime.
