Italian president nominates center-left official as premierBy ELISABETTA POVOLEDO
The New York Times | April 25,2013AP Photo
Italian Democratic Party lawmaker Enrico Letta makes his statement to the media after talks with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, in which Letta was appointed premier and will try to form a government to end Italys political paralysis and set the country back on the path of reform and economic growth.ROME President Giorgio Napolitano on Wednesday nominated Enrico Letta, the deputy head of the Democratic Party, as prime minister, tasked with forming a government to lead the country out of weeks of political impasse after inconclusive national elections.
Letta announced that he would consult with the countrys leaders Thursday to discuss its fragile and unprecedented political situation, and ask for their support.
We paved the way to form a government that the country urgently needs and has too long waited for, Napolitano said soon after Lettas nomination.
Napolitano praised Lettas cultural background, government experience and international standing, calling his profile excellent for the complicated task of guiding Italy in a turbulent time. He added that there was no alternative to his candidacy.
Letta listed unemployment and the economic crisis as among the top issues that the new government should address. He also said Italy needed to reduce the number of Parliament members, change its elections law and restore the credibility of its political class.
Letta, 46, is considered a moderate figure capable of reuniting the embattled, center-left Democratic Party with Prime Minister Mario Montis Civic Choice group and the center-right. Letta is a nephew of Gianni Letta, a close aide to Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime minister.
He has held government posts related to European and economic affairs, and he has also been a member of the European Parliaments Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.
Former Prime Minister Giuliano Amato had also been named by Italian news media as a front-runner.
Letta said he would meet with political leaders Thursday to gauge what kind of support his government might have. If he believes he can be successful, he will accept Napolitanos nomination and present a list of ministers for his Cabinet. He will then ask for a vote of confidence in both houses of Parliament.
Napolitano was re-elected as president for an unprecedented second term over the weekend after lawmakers failed to choose an alternative candidate. His precondition for renewing his mandate was that the political parties overcome their differences to form a government.
Failure to do so would result in the dissolution of Parliament, new elections and his own resignation, Napolitano warned lawmakers at his inaugural address.
Elections at the end of February split Parliament into three mutually hostile political groups, and efforts by the Democratic Party, which narrowly won the vote, to form a government were inconclusive.
Many Democratic Party lawmakers refused to make a deal with the party headed by Berlusconi, the controversial political leader who has dominated Italian politics for two decades. He was plagued by personal scandals and criticism that his governments economic policies did not spare Italy the brunt of the eurozone crisis.
The anti-establishment Five Star Movement, which won 25 percent of the national vote riding a wave of widespread frustration with anger toward the political class, has refused to make any alliances.
Napolitano, 87, was re-elected Saturday. He reluctantly accepted, chastising lawmakers for leading the country into political paralysis and telling them to quickly find a compromise or face the consequences.
In a highly emotional speech, he also criticized politicians for failing to approve urgent institutional and economic reforms, even as Italys economy continues to shrink. The country is in the grip of the worst economic recession since the end of World War II.
The current crisis, Napolitano said, is the result of a long series of omissions and flaws, closures and irresponsibility.
Though Italians have demanded deep-rooted changes of their political leaders and a renewal of the existing political system, such demands have fallen on deaf ears, he said. Responses have been slow in coming, and are distorted by political tactics and calculations. Politicians have ignored demands for greater transparency, moral rectitude and a significant reduction in the cost of politics, he added.MORE IN Wire NewsOMAHA, Neb.

We take a look back at Duchess Kate's sartorial successes

As a member of the royal family, Kate can certainly afford designer duds -- but she still can't resist a style bargain! Not only is Kate's bold, black-and-white print dress (which she wears to a wedding in Lambourn, England, on June 11) from inexpensive retailer Zara, but it's also pre-worn! Kate was photographed wearing the same patterned frock on a night out with sister Pippa Middleton in 2007. British taxpayers should be relieved that their new Duchess knows how to save money.

Crustaceans and camaraderie at Crawfish House
Settle in for a good, old-fashioned boil at Crawfish House in White Center.
Seattle Times staff reporter

Crawfish carnage.
There's no other way to describe — and absolutely no way to hide — the crimson-colored exoskeletons piled in front of me at the Crawfish House, a kitschy seafood joint in White Center, where my fellow diners are outfitted in plastic lobster bibs and eating with gloved hands.
As large as my pile seems, I'm a bit player here. Servers are accustomed to orders of five, 10, even 40 pounds of crustaceans, and it's not hard to see why.
The spicy seafood boils are served piping hot by the pound, accompanied by hunks of corn and sausage slices.
Judgments about cholesterol are best left at the door; the deep fryer works overtime here, pumping out shrimp, soft-shell crab and catfish encased in a light, spicy batter.
The portions are generous, and the staff is upbeat even when the place is going full-tilt.
If you've never had crawfish before, the cook is happy to step away from the kitchen for a quick tutorial.
Definitely one of the friendlier dining experiences in the southwest end. Not a place for cranky clock-watchers.
The menu: Seafood boils rule the menu: Choose from crawfish, three kinds of crab, clams and/or shrimp sold by the pound at market prices. Crawfish run about $8.99 a pound. You can order 5 pounds for $35 on Friday nights, or pay $5.99 a pound from 3 to 5 p.m. on "beat the clock" Mondays.
Appetizers include fried pickles ($2.50), tater tots ($3.99), fried gizzards ($5.99), Cajun wings and fried calamari ($6.99 each). Crawfish corn or clam chowder are $3.99 each; add nine hunks of corn or nine slices of sausage for $1.50.
Baskets of fried shrimp, catfish, tilapia, oysters, crawfish and soft-shell crab are served with fries both as entrees (between $8.99 and $11.99) and po'boys ($5.99 for a half sandwich; $8.99 to $11.99 for a whole.) Specials include crawfish or shrimp étouffée ($8.99), fried catfish smothered in étouffée sauce ($12.99), barbecue shrimp ($20 a pound) and oysters on the half shell ($7.99 for half dozen, $14.99 for a dozen).
Lunch specials offered from 1 to 3 p.m. include a Cajun burger; sausage and egg sandwich; rice with pork or chicken; and fried rice with chicken, shrimp or sausage ($5.99 each). Soft drinks are $1.99, flavored lemonades are $2.49 and bottled beer is $3.
What to write home about: The "house" boil, featuring seafood cooked in garlic butter and a medley of spices. Also hard to beat the welcoming atmosphere.
What to skip: As much as I loved the boiled crawfish, the tiny crustaceans get overwhelmed by batter when they're breaded and fried.
The setting: A spacious storefront on the south end of White Center's main drag. Decorated in fishing kitsch — think nets, plastic lobsters and Mardi Gras beads. The restaurant easily accommodates large groups, but expect to wait Fridays and Mondays when crawfish is on special. They'll close early if they get a run on the crustacean, so you might want to check their Facebook page before heading out on those days.
Summing up: A pound of boiled crawfish Monday special ($5.99) and a large, spicy serving of shrimp fried rice cost $16.14, including tax and tip.

More about this product
The freshly scented essential oil can be added to a base oil, creating a bath that will calm the senses and help alleviate aches and pains. Basil oil has also been known to help treat insect bites, gout, rheumatism and cramps. Considered a top note when infused with other oils, basil oil blends well with lemon, lemongrass, orange and rose essential oils. The invigorating oil has a sweet, uplifting, green herbal scent. It's made with pure, certified biodynamic Egyptian basil that's expertly steam distilled to retain its therapeutic properties.

Helps fend off infections
I kind of feel like I'm sniffing a jar of pesto with this basil oil, but I'm told it has antimicrobial, antiviral and antioxidant properties so it's worth a try.
By Peter on October 16, 2014
gentle, uplifting scent
A high quality essential oil; a tiny drop goes a long way. I find this oil to have a pleasant and uplifting quality. The basil plant in this product is grown using biodynamic methods, which go above and beyond organic standards.
Share this with your friends
Directions for use
In the bath add 2 –3 drops of basil essential oil to a natural emulsifier such as a base oil, cream, honey, liquid soap or sea salts. To create a body, massage or bath oil, blend 5 to 15 drops of either just basil oil or a combination of different essential oils into 50 ml of a base oil. To experience the aromatherapeutic benefits, add a few drops of basil oil to a bowl of hot water and inhale the healing steam. You can also use the oil in a fountain, burner or diffuser.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been rather busy since starting his tenure back in February. From the Sterling Fiasco, trying to reform the lottery and negotiating a new TV deal he's had a lot on his plate. How's he done so far?
The Frustrations of Having Drafted Drummond
This year I drafted Andre Drummond in the second round. Last season Drummond was a beast on the boards and put up great numbers in the paint off of easy put backs and alley-oop dunks, and I kicked myself all season for having passed on him. This year coming into the season more mature with a better coach he looked like a sure thing. I couldn't have been more wrong. His first 12 games have been foul-plagued nightmares, the only silver lining of which has been the clear potential he's shown in his nose for rebounding. Continue reading
Hoops Exchange: How Good is Jimmy Butler?
Guest writer Tim Adkins joined me for an impromptu email exchange for some random observations about the first month of the 2014-15 NBA Season. Topics included best shooting guard, franchise players and the improved Eastern Conference.
Tim Adkins: Completely unrelated–but because I'm seeing your recent People's Court post on the right of the screen–I was meaning to ask if y'all had started including Jimmy Butler in the best two-way two-guard conversations. I think it was last Thursday he put in work on the first half of a national doubleheader before Klay Thompson rec'd all the fawning in the second game. Made for an interesting juxtaposition.
Lamont Peoples: We've not had any discussions on best two-way shooting guard. Though Butler has certainly added himself to that very short list. Thompson got off to such a hot start that he got all that attention. I don't think he can play at that high of a level for the whole season. Butler seems to be taking advantage of the opportunities given to him by a roster that's loaded offensively. His defense is all-galaxy. If we do a segment on this would you care to weigh in? Continue reading
Derrick Rose, No Longer a Franchise Player
Derrick Rose recently said that when he sits out games, he's thinking about life after basketball. A deeper dive into his comments reveals that he may have lost his franchise player status. Let us know if you agree.

Carmelo Anthony headlines our fantasy basketball disappointments, while Greg Monroe is amongst the biggest surprises thus far.

The Teams That Matter in 2014-15
Every season, there are only a handful of teams that affect the championship landscape. Find out which teams matter for 2014-15.
New Season, New Format
I am pleased to announce that, along with the debut of the 2014-15 NBA season, The Peoples Court has a new format! You'll still get to enjoy the views and opinions of Adam, Lamont, myself, and our guests, but rather than waiting until the end of the week to get those to you, we'll be sharing them in shorter clips throughout the week. That means more TPC in smaller doses. Don't worry, we'll still bring you longer episodes when the situation calls for it, but we wanted to give you more consistent content. Hope you enjoy!
When Your Team Doesn't Matter Pt 2
The 2014-15 NBA season is just around the corner. There are a lot of things to be excited about this season even if you're team doesn't matter. For the record, if a team doesn't have a realistic chance of advancing past the second round of the playoffs they don't matter. Last year, I gave a list of 5 ways you can still enjoy the season if your favorite team doesn't matter. Here are 4 more:
- Practice your announcing – There are a few teams around that employ bad announcers to call their games. Clyde Drexler with the Houston Rockets, Sean Elliott with the San Antonio Spurs and Mike Smith with the Los Angeles Clippers are a few those bad announcers. They all either engage in homerism to the extreme, laugh at an unfunny joke they just made or utter some statement that befuddles the mind. Drexler manages to do all three. I've learned to mute the TV whenever I'm watching a game these guys are calling. Instead of playing music this season when the TV sound is off, I'm going to try calling the games myself. You should too. We can't do worse than these guys.
- Keep stats – Stat keepers are probably the unsung heroes of the NBA. Whether it's the basic stats or the more advanced ones, someone has to keep track of them. There's plenty of stat keeping software available for download. Pick one and test it out for a few games. You'll probably gain a much better appreciation for how hard the official stat keepers have.
- Tour the NBA – This is admittedly expensive and most of won't be able to do it. Wouldn't it be great visit all 28 cities that have an NBA franchise and see a game in all 28 arenas? It's a basketball junkie's dream.
- Gamble, gamble – Having a rooting interest in games only adds to the fun. When your favorite team doesn't matter the games are somewhat less fun to watch. Another way to have fun is to get involved in sports betting. There are a variety of things you can bet on for a particular game – the winner, total score, over/under, etc. Putting money on a game will definitely give you something to root for.

A solitaire card game also known as Patience Klondike or Windows Solitaire
You all know how this works, don't you? Complete each Solitaire puzzle made up by piles of cards, taking cards from the deck and putting them in order (from king to ace) alternating colors. That easy.
Solitaire by 1bsyl has been set in a good-looking layout. Screentouch response, which is probably the most important in this kind of drag&drop games, works properly. What's more, from settings you can customize parameters to your liking (audio, orientation, display score, display moves, time, doble-clicking, deal cards 1by1 or 3by3.... and much more). You can even set text colors, fullscreen view, background and other appearance issues.
The game includes some statistics about your games, how many moves you did and your highest scores. You can undo and restart easily thanks to the dock-buttons at the bottom. Finally, there's a changelog (bulb icon) where the enhancements introduced after each update will be shown.
In a few words: a highly customizable Solitaire which cute graphics and an excellent screentouch response. We're missing though online leaderboards to submit best marks and, perhaps, more different game modes.
Taking a shuffled standard 52-card deck of playing cards (without Jokers), one upturned card is dealt on the left of the playing area, then six downturned cards (from left to right). On top of the downturned cards, an upturned card is dealt on the left-most downturned pile, and downturned cards on the rest until all piles have an upturned card. The piles should look like the figure to the right.
The four foundations (light rectangles in the upper right of the figure) are built up by suit from Ace (low in this game) to King, and the tableau piles can be built down by alternate colors, and partial or complete piles can be moved if they are built down by alternate colors also. Any empty piles can be filled with a King or a pile of cards with a King. The point of the game is to build up a stack of cards starting with 2 and ending with King, all of the same suit. Once this is accomplished, the goal is to move this to a foundation, where the player has previously placed the Ace of that suit. Once the player has done this, they will have "finished" that suit- the goal being, of course, to finish all suits, at which time the player will have won.
This game has many options :

Today, I promise I will not quit.
I pledge that no matter how many ups and downs I pass through, I will continue on my journey.
I pledge to make a NEW START today, to forgive myself for my past, and to stop being so critical of myself.
I pledge to take control of myself, to stop making excuses, and stop blaming other people or situations.
I pledge to treat myself as I would my best friend, because that is who I am.
I pledge to stay in the race and to be a WINNER!
Thanks Irene for reminding me.
This week went pretty good. I concentrated on tracking Monday - Friday. I decided not to make any changes to my eating. I just tracked what I ate with no pressure on myself. It was immediately clear to me I need to eat more veggies and get in more protein. I wrote down every thing I ate each day and entered it every evening. I was over on my calories every day. Usually 200 - 300 calories.
On Friday I learned how to group foods making it easier to enter them and my breakfast is pretty much the same these days so I copied from day to day. Simplifying this process makes it feel effortless but the insight I gained armed me with the knowledge I need for success.
I have never had a problem with exercise as I go straight to the gym from work.
All in all I think this was a successful week. I met my goal of tracking for 5 days and even though I was over on my calories I still lost 1.8 pounds.
Next week I will continue to track and continue my exercise routine. I will change what I eat for lunch. It will include at least two servings of vegetables and at least 8 oz of water.
Thank you for the words of encouragement and may all of you have a wonderful week and meet all of your goals.
When I received the emails regarding this challenge I put a lot of thought into whether I would start another challenge. This will be my third challenge. I never reached my 5% goal. I did lose 4-5 lbs during each of the challenges, however I was not successful in keeping it off.
I have spent a lot of time the last few weeks reading information on the web site - motivation, goal setting etc - and decided to approach this challenge differently. I did not really have a plan in the past. So this time I am going to track at least 5 days a week and continue with the 10 minute exercise streak. That is all!
Hopefully at the end of the eight weeks I will have a better grip on my food consumption and an idea on the next small change I will add to the tracking and exercise.
Finally in closing i must say when I saw writing a blog was part of this challenge I was not too happy but I am determined to fully participate. lol
I hope all mothers had a wonderful peaceful day today.
to this fitness thing. Its not a temporary thing I will do just to make it through the current team challenge. The things I am learning to do consistently are actually becoming the norm.
This week was a challenge for me but tomorrow I will be right back on track.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department is investigating an early morning house fire in the City of Merrill that left a family without a home.
Crews responded to the fire on Wyant Avenue in the Township of Schley just before 3:00 am Saturday morning. The owner of the house had returned home to find smoke coming from the eaves.
Russell Fire Department along with the Pine River Fire Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene. Trained Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteers were also on scene providing the family with food, clothing, shoes and lodging. Crews were on scene for six and a half hours.
Two adults and three children who lived in the home escaped without injuries, but two dogs were lost in the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

When Life Throws You a Curve
The Vern Sumnicht Story: A Blessing Born from Tragedy!
December 1, 2014
St. Pius X Parish
7:00-8:30 p.m.
The life of Vern is one of tragedy and triumph. In 1976 he was the victim of a car accident. He was left paralyzed: C-6 quadriplegic. But he graduated at the top of his class. Went on to become a successful business entrepreneur. Yet through this tragedy he drew strength from Christ and his wife.
Through Vern's personal testimony and reflections from Scripture and other spiritual literature, adults will come to better understand the love of God through the Mystery of the Cross. The Cross comes to us in daily trials, in moments of crisis and in the sacrifices we make for others. It is in this human suffering that many of the greatest blessings are to be found. What is too often perceived as a setback is really a blessing in disguise.

Black Friday is the perfect time to purchase great items at discount prices and then donate those items to St. Pius to help at our next ParishFest. Also, all those wonderful new gifts that you receive for Christmas that really need to be re-gifted, what about re-gifting them to St. Pius?

Guide Book & Directory Advertising Opportunity
We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book & Directory for the Church. This book will be the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our Congregation. The book is being provided at no cost to our Church, including the mailing to each family, and again is being subsidized by local businesses that advertise in it. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about advertising in our book, please call the Church Office. Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide Book & Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser. It "will pay" to advertise in our new Guide Book & Directory.
Update Membership Information
Does our Church database have YOUR family membership record correct? Here is your chance to update YOUR record for our annual Guide Book & Directory (if you haven't already done so).
It is time for us to update our database with any changes, additions, or deletions that may have occurred in YOUR family over the past year. Have you changed your phone number? Have you moved? Are you preparing to move soon? Are all of your children still at home and are they all included in your membership record? Do you want your record published? If you have not already informed the Church Office about changes to your record, please let us know now so that the information in the Guide Book & Directory is correct.
Thank you for your help!
We have many opportunities for you to change your life profoundly by spending time with Our Lord in the Chapel of Divine Mercy. Consider assisting another adorer on the schedule by ensuring that they have someone to count on when they cannot adore!
Prayer For Those Who Suffer from Addiction

Kwik Trip Gas Cards
Join the Kwik Trip Challenge!!!
For every $100 you buy, you get a one chance to be put in a raffle for a $50 Kwik Trip card. This is a weekly drawing.
Kwik Trip has increased their program to the parish that allows us to purchase their gas cards at a 10% return to the parish instead of 5%! That means St. Pius gets $10 for every $100 spent on gas cards. These gas cards can be used to purchase gas, car washes, and anything in the Kwik Trip convenience store itself, at any Kwik Trip location in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
To use the card, simply swipe the card at the pump and press the "credit" button when prompted. You do not need to worry about over filling because the pump will shut off automatically when the card limit is reached. The card can then be discarded.
Kwik Trip cards may be purchased after Saturday and Sunday morning Masses or at the Parish Office. Please consider this opportunity to earn cash for the parish.

Either I am a monster or I am not. Which is it? Which are you?A Historical Fiction novel by Rose Christo.The book follows two of history's most notorious psychopaths: Count Vlad III Dracula, the 15th century Christian zealot known best for impaling his Muslim enemies, and Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the 16th century Hungarian princess rumored to have bathed in the blood of six hundred girls.The book starts In Medias Res. A very young but very well educated Vlad and his two brothers have just been sold by their cowardly father, the Prince Regent of Wallachia, as war hostages to the Ottoman Empire. Vlad's older brother is killed from the get go while his younger brother is treated like a concubinus. Vlad himself is expected to become a Janissary, one of many Christian boys kidnapped by the Sultan to fight on the frontlines of war. Vlad, despondent, writes a suicide note in the dirt of the campsite.A century later, a young and lonely Elizabeth discovers the note written in her flower garden and writes back. A correspondence begins.A character study told in a series of letters, Count and Countess notably "grows up" with its characters. As Vlad and Elizabeth are both young and sheltered at the start of the story, their letters initially read as an innocent but eager friendship. As they become older and desensitized to the cruelty around them, their letters grow darker and more structured. The more they alienate themselves from the rest of the world, the more obsessed they become with one another. The result is a completely different pair of characters by the end of the story who don't even realize they've become the people they used to hate.Also arguably a deconstruction of the ever-popular vampire genre: Vlad and Elizabeth are the real-life figures who inspired the contemporary mythos.
Tropes included in Count and Countess are:

The road to 9-11 began in Saudi Arabia. GlobalPost set out to understand how the kingdom has changed — and how it hasn't — on this 10th anniversary. In this seven-part series, "Saudi Arabia: The Road Beyond 9-11," GlobalPost hit the streets of Riyadh where some women now dare to get behind the wheel and travelled Highway 15 where Osama bin Laden recruited 12 of the 9/11 hijackers. The series goes inside the House of Saud's struggle against extremism — and its balancing act between a desire for reform and resistance to the revolutionary spirit of the 'Arab Spring.'
Two views from relatives of 9/11 hijackers, one of regret and one of pride.
phone on speaker as my interpreter translated from Arabic to English.
There was fury in the father's voice. Ibrahim Hamzawi said he refused to meet with anyone who was American. And he berated America for its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and, he said, for the taking of many more civilian lives than were taken on the morning of September 11th.
"I will not see you or answer your questions. Why should I when I have so many questions for you?" he asked. "America is the first enemy of all Muslims. Why? Why are Americans attacking and killing Arabs and Muslims. All of this is because of Israel. Why can't you control your Jewish lobby which is directing your foreign policy?"
Amin Hamid Alghamdi.
His rant went on crackling with hatred over the speakerphone.
Through the translator, I asked him if what his son did was wrong.
He replied, "I am proud of my son as is all his family."
Family and friends who I interviewed ten years ago said Haznawi played off tribal loyalties to bring two distant cousins from the village of Beljurashi — Ahmed, 26, and Hamza Alghamdi, 21 — into jihad and ultimately into the 9/11 plot. They were both among the hijackers on United Airlines Flight 175 when it crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center.
I came looking for answers, but the kingdom is as opaque today as it was ten years ago. It's still difficult to get to the bottom of the young lives of the men who did the hijacking. Their lives remain largely undocumented and the details of the forces that pulled them together are still largely unknown.
In the six months following 9/11, Saudi authorities arrested 639 young men suspected of militancy, many of them from this region. They were thoroughly interrogated and many were then released. Some remain in prison. The government refuses to reveal any findings of a top secret, 600-page report it undertook on Islamic militancy in the kingdom, the 15 young Saudi hijackers and how they were recruited.
Dr. Abdulrahman Al Hadlaq, General Director of the Interior Ministry's Ideological Security Directorate, helped to assemble the findings of the report, but said it remains classified.
"It was so important to understand the roots of the problem," he said in an interview at a private club for security officers in Riyadh.
GlobalPost Correspondent Caryle Murphy and I sat with him drinking tea in the plush environs of the club surrounded by stuffed wild animals and large romantic oil paintings of the desert kingdom and its tribal culture. We peppered him with questions and he provided mostly polite, diplomatic answers which mostly turned the conversation to the hard work that he said Saudi Arabia has done to confront religious extremism and militancy.
Al Hadlaq is at the center of an effort in Saudi Arabia to try to rehabilitate extremists, a program that by some accounts is working. He said there were about 11,000 Islamic militants who they've arrested, about half of whom have been released and half of whom pose a threat and need what he calls "rehabilitation."
"We have the ability to rehabilitate them. We don't have a 100 percent guarantee it will work for all. But when you compare it to recidivism rates for other crimes, such as drug abuse, which is about 60 percent, we are at around 10 percent," he said.
He recognized that there have been notable failures in which extremists have gone through rehabilitation only to end up in neighboring Yemen as part of a new permutation of Al Qaeda.
But he quickly added, "The Saudis are doing many things. When we have a problem, we deal with it."
The immediate families of the hijackers have been instructed to never speak to the media, and ten years ago my ability to reach them for even a few brief comments was only possible through an intermediary by phone or through a crack in a compound gate, just at it was on this trip.
After listening to the father's angry tirade against America and ultimately his pride in his son's role in the September 11th attacks, we tried to reach other family members. It's not easy in a place like Saudi Arabia to do that.
But the teacher, Amin, did help to put me in touch with Khaled Alghamdi, 40, the brother of hijacker Said Alghamdi. And Khaled had a very different answer to the same question I had put to the father. Did he think that what his brother did was wrong?
"Yes," he replied in Arabic, speaking through the translator. "What my brother did was wrong."
And he said with great sadness in his voice, "I miss my brother. I miss him the same way Americans miss their loved ones killed on 9/11. It was useless violence."
After we hung up the phone, I spoke at length with the teacher, Amin, who was educated and gentle in the way he spoke and patient in trying to help me find answers to so many questions.
Amin explained, "There are two sides of remembering September 11th here and you've heard both of them from two families. There is sadness which you heard from the brother. And there is emotion and anger. That came from a father who is missing his son. He's human."
Then he began carefully drawing for me a diagram on the back of a piece of paper he found in his car. He was trying to sketch a chart with pillars that represented the core of Islam and then crossing lines that illustrated how the beliefs of the three young hijackers contradicted the faith. They were lessons lost on his former students, but Amin is still teaching.

Updates on Strasburg, Ankiel, Wang, Perez
May 18, 2011, 10:42 PM EST
NEW YORK — A bunch of injury updates to pass along before tonight's game against the Mets (still scheduled to begin on-time at 7:10 p.m.)…
Stephen Strasburg was in Washington yesterday for a scheduled check-up with Nationals orthopedist Wiemi Douoguih and will begin throwing off a bullpen mound "any day now," according to general manager Mike Rizzo.
Strasburg, who had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Sept. 3, has been throwing on flat ground at the Nationals' spring training complex in Viera, Fla., for the last six weeks. Once he begins throwing off a mound, he'll progress to the point he's pitching live batting practice, then during games at extended spring training.
When the Nationals believe Strasburg is ready to face minor-league competition, he'll begin a rehab assignment, which lasts a maximum of 30 days. If, after that, there's still time left in the season and the club believes the right-hander is ready, he could pitch in the majors in September. …
Rick Ankiel has gone to Viera to work out at extended spring training in anticipation of his return from the sprained right wrist. The outfielder will stay there for a couple of days, then head to a minor-Read more »

Why does Ankiel have to to play CF when he returns? Or even start? I'd keep Bernie in CF and put Ankiel in left or use him as a 4th OF.Thanks Mark!

Who is asking about Chien-Ming Wang? Someone out there still cares? I for one, am sick of hearing about this guy. At this point, what does the Nats expect to get out of him?
- Section 222 - May 19, 2011 at 1:11 PM
Thanks very much for this report Mark. This is definitely the kind of thing I turn to Nats Insider for.It's time for Stairs to go. Morse, Nix, Bernadine, Ankiel — whoever is not in the game can do late inning pinch hitting. Three are lefties, so you're not going to miss Stairs from that perspective. It's just not worth taking up a roster spot for a guy who gets one AB every few days. I think you can come up with a decent rotation of the outfielders that will use everyone enough to keep them fresh and take advantage of matchups and whoever has the hot hand. Bernadinda and Nix have definitely shown enough this year to warrant significant playing time, but Morse seems to be slowly coming out of his funk too. He should at least be in the lineup against lefties. I'll be shocked if we ever see Wang pitch at Nats Park. Good for him that the Lerners were willing to line his bank account for a few years.
- DCSportsHomer - May 19, 2011 at 4:00 PM
I like Bernadina in the outfield. He has good speed and is doing well as a leadoff hitter. Is there really a question wether to keep him in the majors?Overall the hitting is struggling. What is the hitting coach doing to correct that?

Medal record
Wendy Renee Brown (born January 28, 1966) is a retired heptathlete and triple jumper from the United States. She competed in the heptathlon at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, finishing in 18th place behind teammate Jackie Joyner Kersee's still current world record. As the event was in transition to become an official event, she set the world record in the women's triple jump twice in the mid-1980s. Because this was before the event was declared official, neither of those records were officially ratified. Brown went to the University of Southern California where she won the 1986 NCAA Indoor Championship in the Triple Jump[1] and later winning 1988 NCAA Championship in the Heptathlon.[2] She is still the school record holder in the Triple Jump and Heptathlon, as well as being ranked second in Long Jump and High Jump. She's even ranked 5th in the Javelin throw.[3]
In 1984, while competing for Woodside High School, Brown won the CIF California State Track team title for her high school singlehandedly. She scored 38 points winning the Long Jump, Triple Jump and High Jump, and was second in the 100 Hurdles behind future "fastest Woman in the world" Gail Devers.[4] Her 42'10 1/2" jump that year was the NFHS national high school record in the triple jump for seven years.[5] Later in 1984 she won the Pan American Junior Championships in the Long Jump and finishing 4th in the 100 metres hurdles[6]
In 1990, Brown had success as a contestant in the television series American Gladiators, appearing in four episodes and going to the final round of the "second half."[7]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kelekis says goodbye to 'a wonderful 70 years'
There's something about Mary Kelekis, but as she turns 88, she's ready to hang up her apron
On the eve of the Last Supper, the heat is on the fritz and a woman named Mary is talking about a lost sister and her mother Magdalene.
"Right now I've got no heat," Mary Kelekis is saying. "I'm freezing. Here, feel my hands."
It's only moments before the doors open at the Kelekis Restaurant, a North End landmark founded 81 years ago by patriarch Chris Kelekis, who in 1932 opened a chip stand in the back of a Model T. Chris Kelekis had a hunch French-fried potatoes might have a future. "It goes to show you," Mary said, "that he had a very good idea."
For the next eight decades, the Kelekis family -- parents Chris and Magdalene, five daughters and one son -- turned their little business into an institution, a time-warped touchstone built on skinny fries, lifetimes of toil and hamburgers.
Chris Kelekis was the brains behind the first chip stand, but it was wife Magdalene whose finger prints were literally all over the burgers. Said Mary: "We still use her recipe."
Today, however, the grill will be turned off. The restaurant, with its orange countertops and hazel panelling -- most lined with photos of politicians, entertainers and Winnipeg celebrities of the 1960s, '70s and '80s -- will be locked for good.
Mary Kelekis, 88, believes seven decades on the job might be enough.
"I'm ready," she said. "I've put in 70 years, from the time I was in high school. But it's been a wonderful 70 years."
Since announcing the closure last November, Kelekis, always a popular lunch haven, has become a reverse bucket-list destination -- get there before it dies. Much like the Bay's Paddlewheel Restaurant that closed last week, Kelekis has a mythical aura drenched in an oral history passed down through generations of burger and fry lovers.
Jim Horoshok, now 73, had a grandmother who used to tend to the family plots at nearby Elmwood Cemetery. A first-generation Ukrainian immigrant, she loved the hotdogs at Kelekis, where she would take little Jim after her duties at the cemetery were complete. Decades later, Horoshok was sitting in the restaurant's front lobby, waiting for a spot to open, along with his sister, Karen, and his daughter and 17-year-old grandson.
"We wanted to show him (the grandson) where we came after dances," Karen said. "So he could see what it was like when the old folks were young."
Indeed, the Kelekis walls tell a story. There are black-and-white photos in the dining area, the likes of prime ministers (Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chrétien) to TV-show hosts (Pat Sajak, Winnipeg's Monty Hall) to famous local musicians (Randy Bachman, Chantal Kreviazuk).
There are more photos along the entrance wall, an oil portrait of father Chris with pictures of all siblings -- Chryse, Sophie, Evelyne, Isabel, Mary, Leo and Becky. Only Mary, Chryse (now 98) and Becky are still alive. All of them began working alongside their father as teenagers and spent the majority of their working lives sharing the same space.
Chryse now lives in a local nursing home. Whenever sister Mary comes to visit, she asks, "Do you have a job for me?"
"He (father Chris) was so proud of his children," Mary said. "We all worked together. You've heard of work ethic? It was part and parcel of what we did with dad."
The Kelekis clan ran a tight ship. Old-school. If a waitress arrived in a shorter skirt back in the '70s, she might have been lectured: "This is a restaurant, not a rock concert."
To this day, Mary doesn't suffer fools. There is no malingering. Pay heed to all orders. And that's not just for staff, either.
Asked what he'd miss most about Mary Kelekis, longtime customer John Belasco, seated at the front counter, replied: "Her ballsy attitude."
But the staff at Kelekis is concerned about Mary's future after she locks the door tonight one last time.
"I'll be sad," offered waitress Diane Matenchuk. "I've been here 22 years. But Mary deserves to retire and rest. She's like my mother."
Leona Cook is standing in front of a full grill, sizzling with patties and fried onions. "I'm worried," Cook said. "She (Mary) puts up a brave front but (today) will be a hard time for her. When she leaves, that's when it's going to hit home, I think."
It's already starting. Kelekis was asked Tuesday what her father might have thought about this day. Or how his modest chip stand might turn into an iconic landmark to stand the test of time some 81 years. Would he be feeling bittersweet, too?
"Of course," his daughter said. "But we've done all we can do. I've lost three sisters and my brother. It's sad. Excuse me."
Mary gets up from her stool at the counter to grab a Kleenex and blows her nose. "Sorry," she said, losing the tears. "It's very emotional."
Crusty on the outside. Soft and warm on the inside. Kinda like a Kelekis burger.
Her mother's recipe.
