cage. The right has been flapping and bleating about Paul Krugman ever since
the 2000 election. It was then that the Princeton economist turned his sights
away from anti-globalization protestors and dug in behind a howitzer, flipped
the safety switch off and started raining hellfire onto the Bush administration
and everything it stands for. Almost three years on, his knuckles are still
white from trigger-grip.
profile has risen, his critics have rallied and are currently led by the National
Review's feisty little "Krugman truth squad," which does its best to pick
apart the bearded professor's twice-weekly, clinical and vicious 700-word
deconstructions of everything White House.
neither Tom Friedman nor William Safire have defended Bush's fiscal and
foreign policies with anything near the focus, expertise and pure rage with
which Krugman has attacked them, and the result is that Krugman is now the Times
op-ed star emitting the most heat. One of the GOP's biggest thorns going
into the 2004 campaign, Krugman damn near burns a hole in the page twice a week,
blasting administration claims and logic with titanium-tipped columns. Never
in our lives have we seen a columnist go after an administration so hard and
so ruthlessly.
to Krugman's ever-more violent grip on his victim's neck, the Times
this month felt compelled to offer the other side a regular space to meet the
challenge. And so, to the sound of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," the Weekly
Standard's David Brooks now enters the ring with Krugman every Tuesday.
The question is: Can the witty, even-keeled conservative defend the Bush administration
with enough force to neutralize Krugman's journalistic napalm?
If their debut Sept. 9 face-off was any indication, Brooks doesn't own
war paints and hates to mess up his shoes. The morning after Bush's televised
request for $87 billion and plea for U.N. help, Brooks meekly praised the administration's
ability to learn from experience while feigning frustration over its inability
to "admit mistakes." As standard op-ed gruel it was fine, but next to Krugman's
sword-wielding Samurai wrath, it flickered and died on the page.
Recall Bloomberg
right, we're wrong. We don't believe in recall elections, and any
rational person who's followed the current California Cartoon would agree.
When voters elect a candidate, they ought to be stuck with that person for the
duration of his or her term unless criminal activity is proven. Otherwise, elections
have no real meaning.
is purely a hypothetical exercise in explaining why, if such a legislative provision
existed in New York, Mayor Mike ought to be sent packing.
start with this absurd statement, published in the Sept. 9 New York Times, from
the press secretary of the city's Nanny-in-Chief. Edward Skyler said: "Mayor
Bloomberg was elected to lead New York through a crisis… Because of his
leadership, the best days for New York are yet to come."
was contained in an article focusing on a Times poll that showed Bloomberg has
a 32 percent approval rating from his constituents. Even Rudy Giuliani, in the
month before he became a national hero two years ago, registered a 55 percent
mark; and this was when Giuliani's popularity was melting down.
was elected not to "lead New York through a crisis," but through a fluke of
history. Had the terrorist attacks of 9/11 occurred three months later, Democrat
Mark Green would now be mayor. Trying to buy an election is a 50-50 proposition:
New Jersey Sen. Jon Corzine was successful; Ron Lauder was not. Sen. John Edwards
hit the jackpot in '98; Steve Forbes blew much of his family's fortune
in two futile presidential bids. Bloomberg's moolah was the deciding factor
in the '01 election because he could dominate the airwaves with commercials
starring Giuliani as his patron. It also helped that the Yankees-Diamondbacks
World Series that year lasted seven games: more prime time for Mike's ads.
may be true that New York's "best days" are "yet to come," it's unlikely
they'll be during Bloomberg's short, accidental tenure.

easier to win—who believes that Sen. Hillary Clinton is doing a swell job

slave to the city's unions, caving in to their demands while inflicting
economic duress on the rest of the citizenry, regardless of income. Strike two.
that part of his job description includes imposing his morals upon those under
his charge, so he bans smoking from all bars and restaurants and slaps an extraordinary
tax on a pack of smokes, crippling not only the tobacco-addicted but every deli
and bodega in the city that has lost customers who now cross state lines or
use the internet to find cheaper prices. Oh, and he's also damaged the
nightclub business not only with the cigarette ban but by additionally imposing
"noise pollution" fines. Strike three.
person would deny the entrepreneurial skills that earned Bloomberg untold billions—he
worked like a dog and deserves every cent. That makes him an unlikely candidate
to skim from the public till, but it also leaves him entirely isolated from
99 percent of his constituents. When the mayor declares that no one would ever
leave New York because it's the greatest city in the world, that's
coming from a man who can afford a hike in subway fares, sales, corporate and
property taxes.

traveling throughout the city and issuing bulletins on the status of the crisis—lucky
he wasn't in Bermuda at the time. Unlike '77, there was virtually
no crime, which may or not have had something to do with the fact that the electricity
died in the afternoon rather than night. But he didn't blow it, which is
nothing short of amazing.

Close Indian Point
No one here gets out alive. Since then, They don't History We actually
We first saw the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition poster taped to the side
of a pay phone on 1st Ave. It depicted a map of NYC in crosshairs, with the
words: "EVACUATION: IMPOSSIBLE" (referring to some official statement on the
odds against a timely evacuation of Manhattan, in the event of a larger disaster
than the WTC attacks) emblazoned over it in a pseudo-military stencil font.
on NY1, we've seen commercials produced by Riverkeeper—the Coalition's
foremost member—as well as their fallout-orange ads on the sides of bus
kiosks and their postcards ("What exactly do WEAPONS of MASS DESTRUCTION look
like?") in the wall racks of restaurants and bars. The card—created by
something calling itself Think Tank 3 and preprinted with the smarmiest of form
letters—is addressed to the wife of the chairman of the "Nuclear Regulatory
Commision" [sic]. It begins, "Dear Mrs. Diaz, My name is ______ but you can
call me Joe Public." It goes on to implore Mrs. Diaz to explain to her husband
the dangers of keeping Indian Point power plant open in a "post 9/11 environment"
and closes with "I don't mean to be pushy, but since this is urgent maybe
you could talk to him at dinner tonight?"
mean to be pushy? The point of this obnoxious, scatterbrained campaign, we gather,
is to get the power plant shut down. This is a reasonable cause with which we
absolutely empathize; none of us wants a nuclear plant in our backyard. What
we can't get behind are the manipulative scare tactics Riverkeeper and
its associated "think tank" are using to get their point across to the residents
of New York City.

Look at Three Mile Island. Look at the meltdown at Chernobyl, popularly accepted
to be the greatest nuclear catastrophe in the history of mankind. But while
you're at it, look at what was behind them: Accidents. Human error. Clearly,
we pose more of a threat to ourselves than any foreign agents could, but somehow,
this doesn't stop Riverkeeper from hopping on the terrorist bandwagon to
achieve its ends.
appreciate Riverkeeper's vigilance in other areas, like educating us on
GE's dumping of PCBs in the Hudson, or pushing through 1997 legislation
to protect the NYC Watershed. This is why it disappoints and sickens us to see
them stoop in this new campaign. There are more responsible, more effective
methods of educating and motivating New Yorkers in regard to Indian Point. Poking
at open wounds that are only marginally related to the cause is little more
than psychological terrorism.

"striving to emulate." Unlike Maxim, FHM and Stuff, Razor wasn't yanked

official to seek the nation's highest office. By racing to assist Ms. Braun's
candidacy, the leaders of NOW showed loyalty to someone with a long relationship
with the organization, going back to the unsuccessful struggle to enact the
Equal Rights Amendment. But they also trivialized the important role women will
play in the coming election, and made themselves look silly to boot."
Do the Times editors believe that women haven't played "important" roles
in past elections? Tsk, tsk.

William Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News
Loose ends. On Sept. Who made Why were Why did What's Bunch isn't
If ever a day commanded a prolonged, nationwide head-hanging moment of silence,
it's Sept. 11. But two years later, we're not yet at a point where
we can be satisfied with a nod, a flag and a prayer. As William Bunch of the
Philadelphia Daily News reminded us, there are still a lot of unanswered questions
hanging uneasily over the memories of the dead.
11, Bunch listed 20 of these questions, among them:
a fortune on Sept. 10, 2001, when the trading ratio on United Airlines was 25
times greater than normal at the Pacific Exchange?
Rumsfeld and others in the administration so quick to link the attacks to Saddam
the Bush administration lie about dangerously high levels of toxins and hazardous
particles after the WTC collapse?
in the 28 blacked-out pages of the congressional Sept. 11 report?
the only journalist asking these questions, but we thank him asking them so
pointedly on a day when so many others were busy scoring points with easy, maudlin
Loose ends.
On Sept.

Is this One needn't Somehow, Pulling
ding on? This walking self-parody should be the shame of the right, but somehow
isn't. In 2003, Coulter treated the reading public to Treason, the third
of her semi-literate screeds, whose theme bears a startling resemblance to the
previous two—namely, that everything wrong with America is the fault of
liberals, while everything right about it is the work of conservatives.
be a communist to admit that maybe those crazy labor radicals were on to something
when they suggested having weekends, or that the silly black people might have
had a point about riding in buses and sitting on benches. And never mind the
feminists who spent the 1990s vainly calling attention to the depravities of
the Taliban.
Coulter gets a pass. Her more centrist apologists call her "provocative," as
though that alone warrants her being taken seriously.
down your pants in Grand Central Station and screaming, "Hey ladies, come and
get it!" is provocative. It is also boorish, juvenile and insipid, and, come
to think of it, is an apt-enough metaphor for Coulter's work: Her books
are acts of indecent exposure. Reading them is like watching someone scream
at a cash-register clerk for no good reason—you start to wonder if they
were born without the mechanisms that give most of us

SALEM—On a day when Tabb's Andrew Williams made history, three Poquoson wrestlers added their photos to their school's wrestling wall of fame.
Williams dominated Christiansburg's James Linkous, winning a 17-2 technical fall Saturday night in the Salem Civic Center for his fourth consecutive Group AA state championship. The University of Virginia-bound Williams never was in danger in winning at 135 pounds for the second straight year.
Foxworth beat Smithfield's Matt Graham 6-4 in overtime in the 125-pound match. Shearer won at 130 by the same score over Christiansburg's Brady Epperly, also in overtime, and McAdams finished a 40-0 season with a 4-1 victory over Northside's Brady Craft at 152 pounds.
Christiansburg easily won the team championship. The Blue Demons had the title clinched before the finals began. They won four titles and had 210.5 points.
Poquoson broke a string of second-place finishes by Grundy by scoring 131.5 points. Grundy finished third with 98, and Tabb was fifth with 61.5.
Williams became the Peninsula area's third four-time champion, joining Poquoson's Butch Backus from the 1970s and Mike Akers from the '90s.
His feeling?
"Relief," he said. "It's done."
He dominated Linkous, a freshman, with two takedowns and four near-falls. He didn't pin Linkous, but that didn't matter.
"I was trying to pin him, but he was more determined not to get pinned than anything else," he said.
"I tried my hardest, but I was actually more focused on wrestling a good, strong match."
In the semifinals, Williams pinned Grundy's Ethan Owens in a rematch of last year's championship match.
Owens suffered a hip injury on Williams' first driving takedown. After getting medical attention, he tried to continue, but Williams put him on his back almost immediately for the pin in 52 seconds.
Williams finished the year with 44 straight victories and a 53-5 record. His career record was 211-20.
Foxworth was assessed a stalling point with six seconds left in regulation against Graham, sending the match into overtime. In OT, he shot low, Graham countered, then Foxworth took control and ended the match with a two-point near-fall.
"I knew he was going to come in with a sweep; he'd been doing it all match," Foxworth said. "I went down to my knee. When he came in for it, I got his ankle."
Shearer said getting his picture on the wall of fame will mean so much to him.
"Every day when we run laps, every time I circle around, I look up at that wall, and every face on that wall I respect," he said of the wall with photos of Poquoson's state champions and All-Americans. "It means a lot."

"I don't know where he is," McDonough said. He said that Snowden had exaggerated what the NSA was doing or was able to do. He said that Americans shouldn't buy into "some of the hyperbole that's now being thrown around," which could "somehow cast a pall on the intelligence community."

Ted Maris-Wolf, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of History
Ph.D., U.S. History, The College of William and Mary (2011)
Office: 540 Griffin Hall
Ted Maris-Wolf
How did slavery and notions of freedom develop together in American history? How do we as a people choose to remember or forget certain aspects of the past? Why did racial categories and labels become so important, and what role has race played in United States history? Such questions continue to preoccupy Professor Maris-Wolf's research and inspire him to challenge students to examine and discuss difficult issues relating to our shared history.
Professor Maris-Wolf is currently revising his dissertation, Liberty, Bondage, and the Pursuit of Happiness: The Free Black Expulsion Law and Self-Enslavement in Virginia, 1806–1864, for publication. His manuscript examines law, race, and the idea of freedom through the lives of free black women and men and their families in mid-nineteenth-century Virginia. His other research projects center on runaway slave (maroon) communities in North America, the nineteenth-century transatlantic slave trade, communities of immigrants from Saint Domingue (now Haiti) in late-eighteenth-century Virginia, and the memory of slave trading and slavery in nineteenth-century West-Central Africa and Liberia.
In the classroom, Maris-Wolf uses various forms of historical evidence, including art, music, architecture, food, and archaeological data, in courses on African American history, slavery, memory, public history, and U.S. History. Through the words of those who lived in the past—expressed in song, story, poetry, and autobiography—Maris-Wolf hopes to further spark students' interest in the study of history, an immensely complicated endeavor that requires focus, perseverance, and, above all, creativity.
Maris-Wolf is the author of a review essay, "Many Seasons Gone: Memory, History, and the Atlantic Slave Trade" in The New West India Guide (Jan. 2009), and the author and producer of "The Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade: Origins, Effects, and Legacies," an educational film released by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and distributed by the University of North Carolina Press (2009). He has also written several reviews and regularly participates in conferences. For his dissertation at the College of William and Mary, he received the 2011 Thatcher Prize and the Arts and Sciences Distinguished Dissertation Award in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Rongey: …Or Maybe Not
Just yesterday, Jake Peavy's progress continued to be encouraging.
Rongey: Sox (Fantasy) Camp, Sniffing For Championship
And that's as close as we would get. Because of camp format, we were somehow still able to play for a chance to be in the championship game on Sunday, even though we had only won one game.
Rongey: Sox (Fantasy) Camp, Day Three
Holy crap, we won a game
There was a strong chance the OBI's were going to finish the first 3 days without a single win, but after starting 0-5, everything fell into place in the second game of the day.
Rongey: Sox (Fantasy) Camp, Day Two
Almost took Donn Pall deep
OK, it's not nearly as impressive as it sounds, and to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure it would be that impressive if it was exactly as it sounds. Made my best contact of the camp today when I hit one to the warning track in left center. True warning track power with a composite bat. I'm awesome.
Rongey: Sox (Fantasy) Camp, Day One
Coming back for a second year is like coming back to school after summer break, except you're off for 11 3/4 months and you'd much rather be in school (camp) than be on break (real world).

OTHERWISE NORMAL PEOPLEBy Aurelia C. Scott. When Aurelia Scott met 75 year old Clarence Rhodes here in Portland Maine, she got her first taste of the obsessive world of rose gardeners. Rhodes is well known locally for riotous roses that abound on his small lot and out onto his sidewalk. He does not let cold winters, lack of space, or lack of money for equipment get in his way. His ingenuity and enthusiasm prompted Scott to interview a wide cross section of Americas "rose-a-holics" and her book provices us with lively accounts of these visits. Scott and her new found rose friends all come together at the ARS Spring Rose Show and we get an inside look at the action there. Finally, overcome with the world of hybrid roses, Scott visits heritage rose lovers, whom she believe will be less obsessive. Not so! Hardcover 235pp. Learn More

While Dallas Mavericks forwards Shawn Marion gave props to his team for constantly putting up a fight against the New Orleans Hornets, in their Monday night 74-84 loss, the 13 year NBA veteran was ledt astounded by the rift between the two team's rebounding numbers.
On a night when the New Orleans Hornets made 62 rebound attempts, the Dallas Maverick came close to only 40.
"Was it really?" Shawn Marion asked, visibly shocked by the difference.
Shawn Marion obviously still not satisfied, consulted the boz score from the night's game, and there was no disputing its results…The New Orleans Hornets made over 20 more rebounds as compared to the Dallas Mavericks. The highly athletic New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis led the team with 17 rebounds. Shawn Marion's 12 rebounds (the most by a singular Dallas Mavericks paler that night) stood no competition.
"Oh my god," stated Shawn Marion. "Man, we got slaughtered on the boards."
While the Dallas Mavericks' situation is quite understandable considering they fought majority of Monday night's battle on the glass without their key 7-footers logging even a combined 60 minutes per game, the team can't depend on excuses any longer. The situation could last through the start of regular season and the Dallas Mavericks have to find alternate solutions or someone has to step up their game.
Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk is expected to sit out the first few weeks of regular season as well as he recovers from arthroscopic surgery. And although center Chris Kaman claims he'll be ready to return from a strained right calf in-time for the regular-season opener falling in next week, given his history its likely that the 30-year-old will be inconsistently absent throughout the 2012-2013 season.
The Dallas Mavericks are expecting to play a lot of smallball according to the team's scheme this season, which has to be a go-to option with or without the team's big men on the floor. This makes it essential for the Dallas Mavericks to find a solution to defending the glass. Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle revealed that the situation on the glass will be a "continuing area of focus" for his team this season.
Shawn Marion: Dallas Mavericks punished on the boards

As a single mom with a job waiting tables, Janelle barely has time to play her music, much less go on a date. She definitely knows better than to get involved with an actor, but sometimes a girl just has to do what she has to do. The morning after is hilarious, sweet, and a little bit awkward, especially when Janelle realizes she's seen Darren somewhere before . . . but where?

Had I as many souls as there be stars,
I'd give them all for Mephistophilis.
- Scene 3
Faustus sells his soul, not for riches, but for knowledge and power; Marlowe weaves a shocking and contemporary tale of the struggle between good and evil, championing what is most daring in the human spirit. In his masterpiece that predates almost all of Shakespeare's plays, Marlowe breathtakingly conjures Helen of Troy, the Seven Deadly Sins, angels, demons, and Satan himself, before dragging Faustus to Hell.

Written by the Radical Tech Collective, the GNU Radical is meant as a guide for anarchists entering the digital age. It includes everything from how-to's regarding privacy and encryption technology to essays regarding the Free Software movement and anonymity as an organizing tactic.

It turned out to be one of the most popular texts written during the insurrection. When I say "popular," I don't mean "popular with radicals," but it was a common occurrence to see little old ladies, with their heads wrapped in dark scarves, lining up in front of an occupied university to get their copy of an unapologetically radical article or magazine. read more »

Huckleberry Mine
Huckleberry is an open pit copper mine located in west-central British Columbia. Imperial holds a 50% interest in Huckleberry Mines Ltd., owner/operator of the mine. The remaining 50% is held by the Japan Group comprised of Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Dowa Mining Co. Ltd. and Furukawa Co.
(1) production stated 100% - Imperial's allocation is 50%
Huckleberry Annual Production(1)
|Planned 2014
|Copper - lbs
|Gold - oz
|Silver - oz
Exploration at HuckleberryNo diamond drilling is planned for the Huckleberry Mine site or adjacent claims for the year. A limited grassroots exploration program for Huckleberry's claims is planned for 2014.
Geological SettingThe Huckleberry mine is a typical porphyry copper/molybdenum deposit. It is characterized as a calc-alkalic copper/molybdenum type mineralization. These deposits are typically hosted in intrusive rocks, usually of granodioritic or quartz monzonitic composition, and in volcanic rocks surrounding intrusives.
Huckleberry Mill InfrastructureOre from the pit is delivered to a 42"x 65" gyratory crusher and after crushing is conveyed to a stockpile. Ore from the stockpile is ground in two stages prior to flotation, firstly in a single 10,000hp semi-autogenous (SAG) mill, and secondly in two 5,000hp ball mills. A bulk copper concentrate is floated from the ball mill product. The bulk copper concentrate is then reground in a 1,500hp regrind mill, and then floated again to produce a final copper concentrate grading approximately 27% copper. Molybdenum concentrate is floated out of the copper concentrate.
Both final concentrates are thickened and dewatered prior to shipment. A Grinding Improvement Project (SAG pebble circuit) was completed by mid-2000. This circuit consists of a vibrating screen that removes critical size rocks from the SAG mill discharge conveyors then transports this material to a pebble crusher where the rocks are crushed and then returned to the SAG mill. Final copper concentrate is trucked to the Port of Stewart, British Columbia and then shipped by bulk carrier to Asia. The molybdenum concentrate is trucked to and sold in Vancouver under long term contract.

Fanzinesby Teal Triggs
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For more than 60 years, fanzines have been one of the most significant forms of self-expression. Often handmade and disseminated through underground networks, the fanzine is credited as being both the original medium for many of todays mainstream publications and the predecessor to the blogging craze. This highly visual compendium showcases the best, most thought provoking, and downright weirdest fanzines ever produced. With topics ranging from punk to personal politics, Fanzines includes both widely known fanzines as well as rare publications culled from passionate collectors. Spanning the history of the fanzine from the early experimentation with underground presses to contemporary and electronic fanzines, this is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a fascinating phenomenon.

Prospect Update
Eric Roy (Brandon Wheat Kings), Morgan Klimchuk (Regina Pats), and Coda Gordon (Swift Current Broncos) have all been sitting on the sidelines with injuries recently, while Emile Poirier (Gatineau Olympiques) has been going through a two-game point draught. On the other hand, Kenny Agostino (Yale Bulldogs) is the scoring leader in the last twelve games and Mark Jankowski (Providence College Friars) is ranked second in goals scored with seven goals in sixteen games. Here is a link to updates on the Flames website.
Markus Granlund
Granlund is in his first year away from Finland and is finding solace in his fellow teammate, Joni Ortio. Ortio has taken Granlund under his wing to help the first-year find his way in his new hockey life. According to the latest update, Granlund has had a tough time coming to a new country with new players and coaching staff, but everyone has been very welcoming and helpful. Whatever the case, it's working for Granlund as he has 12 goals and 11 assists in 24 games so far.
Sven Baertschi
He hasn't played yet for the Abbotsford Heat but he got a chance to speak to the media about his recent demotion. It seems that his attitude about the game hasn't changed even if the team has. As he explained on the Flames website, "I don't want to change anything, I just want to play." A great perspective from a great future player.

My name is Zach Somethin'Fierce, A.K.A Spatz. I scribble on people in a small, but busy tattoo shop in Central Pennsylvania. Here you will find some of my work, as well as other things that I am into when it comes to music, movies, influential artwork and tattooers, along with other bullshit that I like. I am a married lad, as well as a father of two, So from time to time, I may post some family stuff that nobody will care about. Feel free to ask questions or spark some conversation. (NOTE: ALL THE TATTOO WORK POSTED ON MY BLOG WAS TATTOOED BY YOUR'S TRUELY, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. THANK YOU)
