President Obama to Seek Approval for Military Strike on Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senior administration officials say President Barack Obama planned to take military action against Syria without congressional authorization, but told aides Friday night that he changed his mind.
Obama announced to the public Saturday that he wanted to launch a military strike, but that he first would seek approval from lawmakers.
The administration officials described a president overriding all his top national security advisers, who believed Obama had the authority to act on his own.
But these officials say the president spent much of the week wrestling with Congress' role in authorizing force and made the decision Friday night after a lengthy discussion with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough.
The administration officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Obama's decision-making by name.
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says he has decided that the United States should take military action against Syria in response to a deadly chemical weapons attack.
But he says he will seek congressional authorization for the use of force.
He says congressional leadership plans to hold a debate and a vote as soon as Congress comes back in September.
Obama says he has the authority to act on his own, but believes it is important for the country to have a debate.
Military action would be in response to a chemical weapons attack the U.S. says Syrian President Bashar Assad's government carried out against civilians. The U.S. says more than 1,400 Syrians were killed in that attack last week.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Officials in the Obama administration and on Capitol Hill say President Barack Obama intends to seek congressional approval for action against Syria.
Obama will speak on the developments in Syria from the Rose Garden on Saturday.
The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak ahead of the president
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
President Barack Obama's national security team was to consult senators Saturday about Syria while House Speaker John Boehner invited House members to return early from their August break for a classified briefing as the White House readied for a possible military strike.
Vice President Joe Biden, who was scheduled to be in Delaware this weekend, was instead at the White House, where Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Secretary of State John Kerry joined him.
Hagel, Kerry and others were to consult by phone Saturday afternoon with Senate Democrats and Republicans. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, also were to participate.
The White House said the calls would be unclassified, meaning officials would be limited in what they can say.
But on Sunday, the White House planned a classified, in-person briefing for House members, according to a notice from Boehner's office to House Republican staffers. House Democrats were planning to invite their members as well.
"This will be one of many classified briefings," read the invitation. "However, given the numerous requests made, the speaker wanted members to have an opportunity this weekend."
The briefing was coming a day after the administration publicly released an unclassified intelligence report concluding that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government killed more than 1,400 last week in a chemical attack. A classified version of the assessment arrived on Capitol Hill late Friday night, the GOP notice said, and was available for all House members to review.
Obama is considering a limited military strike in response to the chemical attack, but said Friday he had not yet made a decision.

Prior to being named head coach at Oregon State, Gantt was an assistant with the USA Men's National Team from 1990-91. Gantt's duties were to develop new and unknown players and join them with more experienced athletes for major international competitions such as the World Championships and the Goodwill Games.
Gantt's first collegiate head coaching job was at Northern Montana from 1988-89. He was awarded the 1989 Frontier Conference Coach of the Year honor after guiding the Sky Lights to a 24-14 record and the league title.

5 Times You Should Skip the Fat-Free Version

2. Salad Dressing
Because fat helps absorb vitamins and nutrients, you wont reap all the benefits of those leafy greens without a little bit of it, says Gans. The key is choosing a healthy source. Monounsaturated fat (olive oil, nuts), is good for you, while saturated fat (butter) is generally not, says Gans. The experts recommend oil and balsamic vinegar as the healthiest options for salad dressing.
A study from Purdue University even found that that dressings made with monounsaturated fats (like olive oil) are a bit faster at absorbing nutrients than those with saturated or polyunsaturated fat (like canola oil).

Fall 2009 Chapel - October 28th
Fall 2009 Chapel Message - 10/28/09
Listen to the recorded version here:
David Alexander
Good morning. It�s my privilege to share with you this morning. Today, Wednesday, October 28th, you are half way through the semester, half way through this long distance race. I�ve been around long enough to know that some are pacing themselves well, others are running to catch up, still others thought they were in a sprint and have just awakened to the fact that there�s more; academic success requires long-term focus, attention and disciplined persistence. Wherever you are on this spectrum, I wish you well in the second half of this semester-long race.
Today, I�d like to talk about a disciple, a king, a Hebrew country western song and then turn our attention to you and me.
But before we open the scriptures it�s time to sing the President�s cheesy song. Are you ready?
The President�s Cheesy Song
Did anybody tell you I love you today?
Did anybody tell you I love you today?
Did anybody tell you I love you today?
Put me on your list, let me be the first,
I love you today.
God loves you, and I love you,
And that�s how it should be.
God loves you, and I love you,
And that�s how it should be.
God loves you, and I love you,
And that�s how it should be.
Put me on your list, let me be the first,
I love you today.
Let�s turn our attention to the disciple.
His name is John, and late in his life he wrote memories of his time with Jesus; words ripe with the truth and presence of Jesus.
He says as much as he records his recollections of Jesus, who He was, what He stood for, and how He still affects John�s life.
John establishes his closeness to Jesus with words like this:
What we have heard,
What we have seen with our eyes,
Touched with our hands,
Concerning the word of life�
John wants to share about life with Jesus, and life in Jesus. He goes on:
�We declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.� I John 1: 3,4
John wants the reader to know that he has first hand knowledge of both what it meant to be with Jesus and how, through the presence of the Holy Spirit, he has continued to live in Jesus.
He is writing so that we can be aware of and live in this relationship too. He declares this in Chapter Four of First John; let�s read it together:
This is how we know we�re living steadily and deeply in Him and He in us: He�s given us life from His life, from His very own Spirit. Also, we�ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent His Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God�s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we�ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.
God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us� I John 4: 13�17 (Message)
This is John�s message, his invitation. The God who is love has come to abide in you, and in this abiding, this residing, there grows an intimate, loving relationship with God.
Hold onto that gem.
Now let�s turn our attention to the young man who would be king.
I�m speaking of David, Son of Jesse.
Let�s take a look at his early life, before he was king.
The youngest brother, left to tend the sheep.
Yet, out on the hills near Bethlehem, while tending the sheep, there�s time to reflect upon life and its meaning.
To consider God. To remember God�s consistent hand of guidance and deliverance for the people of Israel. To pray to God. To talk to Him. To listen for Him. To walk with Him.
Then one day, everything changes.
Samuel the prophet is sent by God to the house of Jesse for the purpose of anointing a new king. God told Samuel, �I have selected a king for myself from among the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite�. Samuel then watches as Jesse parades his sons in front of Samuel. No voice, no direction from God.
Samuel presses, �There must be another�; Jesse admits, �there remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.�
So the family and Samuel the prophet wait while David is summoned from flock and field. He arrives and the Lord said, �Arise, anoint him, for this is he.�
David has caught God�s eye.
Scriptures recount that David found favor in God�s eyes for David was a man after God�s own heart.
I want us to understand that before David was king, before he took on all the trappings and authority of an earthly kingship, David had an intimate relationship with God. As we look at his youthful days we discover a young lad who enjoyed a special relationship with God, characterized by nearness, candor, dependence; always seeking, listening, trusting, obeying.
Allow me to recount for you some of the tangled web of his young life following the prophet�s secret anointing:
Son of Jesse
Child of God
Shepherd poet/composer
Psalm 23�The Lord is my shepherd
David�A man after God�s own heart
Chosen/Secretly Anointed
Protector of the flock�slayer of the bear and the lion
Writer and singer of songs of his faith
Invited into King Saul�s court to sing songs to comfort the King
�he has found favor in my sight� SauL
Before, and during, all this new attention, David lived from a place in God�s embrace, his moment-by-moment relationship with God gave him the on-going assurance of God�s presence and protection; the way he lived his life was a result of the trust that was established by living in loving relationship with God.
David�s life was lived through the prism of God�s loving presence, guidance, power and authority.
As he prepared to fight Goliath he told King Saul:
�The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, will save me from the hand of this Philistine.�
Saul then tries to prepare David for battle with the king�s armor
Instead, David chooses to rely on God
As he approaches Goliath David shouts out:
�You come to me with sword and spear and javelin; but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts;�this very day God will deliver you into my hand�
Goliath is slain. David becomes the pride of the people.
Best friend of the King�s son, Jonathon.
But then the tide begins to turn;
King Saul grows jealous of David
Realizing he can�t overcome David-the-giant-killer�s popularity amongst the people, Saul plots to put David to death,
David flees, with the help of Saul�s son, Jonathon and Saul�s daughter, Micah, who has become David�s wife.
David escapes Saul, only to find himself
Fleeing into the land of Saul�s enemies�the Philistines
David is captured by Philistine soldiers and is brought before their king.
Doesn�t this sound like a cue for a song? A twangy, country western song, sung by a handsome young Hebrew. Indeed, it is in this context, these life events, that David does write a Hebrew version of a plaintive Country Western song�from his desert hideaway. A song of fear and call for help, a lyric of betrayal and a cry rescue, yet underneath it all a song of love and trust. Listen to the lyrics of Psalm 56.
Psalm 56
Be gracious to me, O God, for people
trample on me;
all day long foes oppress me;
My enemies trample on me all day long,
for many fight against me.
O Most High, when I am afraid,
I put my trust in You.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid;
what can flesh do to me?
All day long they seek to injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
They stir up strife, they lurk,
they watch my steps.
As they hoped to have my life,
so repay them for their crime;
in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record?
Then my enemies will retreat
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
In God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?
My vows to you I must perform, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
and my feet from falling,
so that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
Psalm 56 is written while David is on the run!
The lyrics are drawn from the emotions and episodes of his life.
At first reading, it is easy to misconstrue the spirit of these lines�a cry from a fearful fugitive; cornered in the land of his king�s enemy; fleeing from his king who has become his enemy.
The first few surface readings are: �get me outta this mess God�.
But I believe that misses the mark. A deeper reality lies in these lyrics and the life of David.
This is a poem that reflects the fiber of David�s character;
Though he is fleeing,
Though he is justifiably afraid,
In this time of crisis,
He draws from the wellspring of His relationship with God
And remembers.
He remembers that God is aware of His plight.
For God is his constant companion and Lord.
God knows David�s tossing and turning.
God is so intimately aware of David�s longings, it�s as if God has captured David�s tears in a bottle,
And recorded all of David�s fears in his ledger.
So David gathers himself, remembers,
And calls upon his God.
He declares with a confidence borne of godly love and personal trust.
My enemies will retreat. Why?
Because, This I know�that God is for me!
In God, he gives praise
In God, he places his trust
In God, he is not afraid.
(He cries)
For what can mere mortals do to me?
I have God.
I am His and He is mine.
You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record?
Then my enemies will retreat
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
In God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?
Psalm 56: 8�11
This is not a song of desperation and a plea for rescue.
This is a song of confident assurance, borne of one who abides in God and has come to know Him and trust Him.
David�s confidence is in the living God.
He draws upon what he knows of Yahweh�s history of delivering His people, and His own loving, abiding relationship with God.
So here we are: a disciple�s experience with Jesus, a yet-to-be king�s twangy song of trust and deliverance, all that, to get to this point, to get to you.
What about you?
What about you and God?
Do you know Him and His love?
Have you discovered that He desires to take up residence in you?
To abide.
Have you awakened to the life-changing reality that His loving presence dwells within you?
Let me ask it another way:
Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?
If so, have you come to realize that He desires to abide in you, and invites you to abide in Him?
And if you are allowing His Spirit to take up residence in your life, are you coming to learn of Him. To enjoy His love, to try it on for size, to become comfortable in His continual loving presence in you. To trust that He indeed loves you. Cares for you. Wishes to cast out your fears with His love.
Do you believe that God is for you?
Are your tears and fears the focus of your life
or do you live life in trust?
Trust in the God who abides and loves?
Dear friends�God is for you!
That�s right�God is for you!
The God I speak of is not a human construct of god, a genie in a bottle, the great concierge in the sky, there to go get you stuff, fix your problems, provide you the best parking space and a life path free from the annoyances of others and the presence of evil. That�s not God. That�s a minor deity crafted by self-rule, with a dash of narcissim and a pinch of hedonism. That�s someone looking for a designer god, crafted by the spirit of this fallen world.
This God of which I speak is
God the creator, the redeemer, the sustainer,
Is looking for you and
This God is for you!
The you He has created you to be
Can only be fully alive in Him.
Will you allow Him to love you, accept you, embrace you?
God is for you, right now, no matter where you are in your journey.
As you sort out your path in college and your path in life�
God is for you!
As you sometimes trip and fall, and wonder if you�re going to be able to get up�
God is for you!
As you are slapped with the reality that the major you thought was your destiny is not what you hoped or dreamed, and now you must seek another�
God is for you!
My dear friends, regardless of station,
Sinner and saint
Hypocrite and hero.
God is for you!
Come into the embrace that awaits all who believe and abide in Him.
Learn the mystery of trusting in Him,
Rather than trusting in self.
As David sang,
In God will I place my trust,
What can mere mortal do to me?
Like David, are you willing to seek His counsel
Rather than your own impetuous self-sovereignty?
To turn the tables and learn to rely on Him and His ways,
Rather than your cunning and scheming.
He knows you
And He�s for you.
He doesn�t merely want to rescue you,
He�d much rather live with you in relationship,
To lovingly call you by name,
To fellowship with you and you with Him.
As John wrote:
When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us.
Dear Friends:
This I know, God is for you!
Live like it.
Abide in it.
Abide in Him. Come to Him, the one who knows you and intercedes is for you!
Let�s celebrate His loving care for us; Let�s sing:
I have a maker�

When you spend all day fighting, you need a little loving just to unwind. That's why Dayna, a boxer with a nice juicy set of titties, called the MLIB crew. After all, there's no better way for an amateur slut to relax than with a nice big black cock!

Hey friend, could you provide us a wikipedia URL with a good description of this protected area?
Please, be sure that you are suggesting an english language wikipedia URL (http://en.wiki....)mark it as wrong
Central Sikhote-Alin, Russian Federation
Transferring data
The Sikhote-Alin (Russian: Сихотэ́-Али́нь) is a mountain range in Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krais, Russia, extending about 900 km to the northeast of the Russian Pacific seaport of Vladivostok. The highest summits are Tordoki Yani (2,077 m), Ko Mountain (2,003 m) in Khabarovsk Krai and Anik Mountain (1,933 m) in Primorsky Krai.
Sikhote-Alin comprises one of the most extraordinary temperate zones in the world. Species typical of northern taiga (such as reindeer and the Ussuri Brown Bear) coexist with tropical species, the Amur leopard, Siberian tiger, and the Asiatic Black Bear. The region holds very few wolves, due to competition with tigers. The oldest tree in the region is a millennium-old Japanese yew.
In the 1910s and 1920s, Sikhote-Alin was extensively explored by Vladimir Arsenyev (1872–1930) who described his adventures in several books, notably Dersu Uzala (1923), which in 1975 was turned into an Oscar-winning film by Akira Kurosawa. The large Sikhote-Alin and Lazo wildlife refuges were set up in 1935 to preserve the region's unusual wildlife.
On February 12, 1947, one of the largest meteor showers in recent history occurred in the Sikhote-Alin mountains. The Sikhote-Alin meteorite exploded in the atmosphere as it fell, raining many tons of metal on an elliptical region about 1.3 km² in area. Craters were formed by the meteors, the largest being 26 meters in diameter.
In 2001, UNESCO placed Sikhote-Alin onto the World Heritage List, citing its importance for "the survival of endangered species such as the Chinese Merganser, Blakiston's Fish Owl, and the Amur tiger". World Heritage Area has a total area of 16,319 square kilometres (4,033,000 acres), of which the terrestrial core zone of Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik comprises 3,985 square kilometres (985,000 acres). The core zone can only be explored in a company of rangers.

Focus on Software
By the time you read this, even more restrictions on the export of strong cryptography will have been lifted. I was delighted to hear that PGP was given export permissions, although it still can't go to the T-7 (terrorist seven) countries. I've never understood the contention that cryptography was a munition. The folks (including politicians) who have insisted that the measure prevented terrorists from obtaining it show a complete lack of understanding of how terrorists work. Export of a few more packages (FreeS/WAN and OpenSSH, at least) will result in distributions with adequately secure administration tools. In the meantime, these tools are still available from sites outside the U.S.; just don't forget you can't export the tar files back outside the U.S.
note: www.daemon.de/software.html
note is an easy-to-use utility that allows you to keep notes to yourself in a MySQL database. You can create notes, edit them (using vi, but it will honor your $EDITOR environment variable), delete them, list them, search them, etc. This utility would also be the perfect tool for a journal when you need to keep extensive, dated notes over a long period of time because of the MySQL back end. Easily extensible, the front end works from a console or xterm and is written in Perl. This is one of those utilities that causes you to say, "how did I ever get along without it?"--a must-have. It requires Perl, the Mysql-msql module, DBI module and MySQL.
gnotepad+: http://ack.netpedia.net/gnp/
Although the author touts this program as a notepad, he also admits it is much more, thus the "+". Indeed, gnotepad+ has all the trappings of an HTML editor. You can customize the button bars to include an HTML set, including only those buttons you might need. This notepad can create HTML code more easily than most of the HTML editors I've used. If you use GTK and need a good editor, give this one a try. It requires libgtkxmhtml, libgtk, libgdk, libgmodule, libglib, libdl, libXext, libX11, libm, glibc, libXpm, libjpeg, libpng and libz.
WebDownloader for X: http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/
This utility gives you complete control over downloads. You can set it up to download http or ftp URLs at night. You can interrupt downloads, then pick them up where they left off. You can limit the download speed from any individual site, or if you're using it while on-line, you can select any of two configurable slower speeds. If you are connected to the Internet via cable modem or DSL and do a lot of downloading, you will want to check this one out. It requires libgtk, libgdk, libgmodule, libglib, libdl, libXext, libX11, libstdc++, libm and glibc.
Yet Another Computer Algebra System: www.xs4all.nl/~apinkus/yacas.html
For all you math geniuses out there, yacas provides a convenient, easy-to-use interface for doing math computations. While I don't need much beyond simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, I do wish I'd had this 25 years ago while taking calculus. This program can handle Taylor series, Newton method for finding zeroes and several other functions. While the author is still working on improvements (functions with multiple occurrences of variables), this is an excellent program as it is. It requires libstdc++, libm and glibc.
xglobe: http://www.rzstud.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uddn/xglobe/
Well, what can you say about another program that puts a globe on your desktop? I've always been fond of the Earth, and a satellite's eye view of the world is always nice. Shows the planet from the sun's perspective. Complete with names and locations of major cities. It requires libX11, libqt, libstdc++, libm, libXext and glibc.
rubix: http://sed.free.fr/rubix/
It's been a while since I played with a Rubik's cube. What this little toy showed me was that I no longer remember how to solve it. It is not yet the easiest thing to manipulate and certainly not intuitive. Hopefully, the author will work on this aspect. Actually, it's probably more my ineptness at using a mouse than it is the controls. Hours of entertainment for the easily amused (even more for the easily confused). It requires libX11, libm and glibc.
xzgv: ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/X/
If you remember zgv, you know what xzgv is. Since most folks today prefer graphical user interfaces to command-line ones, this provides them with the power of zgv in X. It does an excellent job of rendering most image formats. It requires libgdk_imlib, libgtk, libgdk, libgmodule, libglib, libdl, libXext, libX11, libm and glibc.
tkftp: http://tkftp.firebird.cx/
As GTK continues to proliferate on desktops, it's nice to see Tcl/Tk applications remain. This is especially true for folks with older PCs who want a GUI interface, but don't want to bog down their system with larger applications. This particular Tcl/Tk utility is very handy, easy to use and simple to configure. Connections options are flexible and powerful. This client can handle most, if not all, popular FTP servers with ease. It requires tcl-8.0 and tk-8.0.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This is the best men's fragrance that I have used. Albeit, fragrances on men or women are differently individually because of different "PH" values of the skin, but I found that this has a long lasting, and aromatically appealing.
Women constantly asked me what is that fragrance?
It is difficult to find in the department stores or fashions boutiques, so the only source that I have found is this site.
It is well worth the money and value.
Try it, you will like it.

Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board's Track the Money
Maryland's StateStat
Colorado's Economic Recovery Mapping
Oregon's Tracking the Dollars
As money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is invested in communities around the United States, all levels of government must show where and how they are spending taxpayer dollars. GIS provides transparency and context to this data, making it the ideal tool for accountability reporting.
Using GIS on the Web shows citizens how investments impact their neighborhoods and helps government leaders make informed decisions for the greatest good.
States using GIS to track stimulus spending
Federal agencies tracking stimulus spending with GIS
These two sample templates, built using the ArcGIS API for Flex, will help you get started.

What U.S. Investors Should Do About Syria
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The ineptitude of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East is truly staggering. Following in the footsteps of former President George W. Bush's debacle in Iraq, President Obama seems hell-bent on a regime change in Syria, an eventuality that would make that Middle Eastern nation less stable, less humane, less democratic and more dangerous to U.S. national security. All the while, Obama's policy is damaging the U.S. economy and causing irreparable harm to U.S. influence and prestige in the Middle East region and around the world.
In the face of this situation, to speculate about potential damage to the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average almost seems vulgar. But, unfortunately, taking care of one's wealth will appear uncouth at times.
So let's get to it. The first step is to actually gain a reasonably objective (i.e., non-partisan) understanding of the situation. Then, one can strategize about what one should do as an investor.
Remembering the U.S. Experience in IraqI hate to repeat this hackneyed phrase, but it is so true, in this case: "Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it."
The U.S. intervened militarily in Iraq ostensibly on three grounds: 1) To eliminate a threat to U.S. national security. 2) To promote democracy and stability in the Middle East. 3) To promote human rights in Iraq, particularly of minority groups.
National security. Iraq was never a serious threat to U.S. national security -- even if it had been true that it possessed chemical weapons. So no benefit to U.S. national security could have been attained from a non-threat, even if everything had gone right. Tragically, Iraq actually poses a greater threat to U.S. national security today than it did before the invasion, as a result of the rise of extremism within Iraq as well as the relative strengthening of Iran's (America's declared arch-enemy) influence within Iraq and the region.
Middle East stability. Iraq and the Middle East as a whole are demonstrably more unstable today than prior to the U.S. invasion.
Democracy and human rights. Iraq is less of a liberal democratic society today than it was prior to the invasion. Elections do not guarantee liberty, justice or democracy in any meaningful sense. Never have; never will. Post-Sadaam Iraq is just one more case study, proving to be a humanitarian and democratic disaster for Iraq's minority groups including Christians, Jews as well as many Muslims.

I was at a cocktail party over the weekend, talking to a friend who recently read my last book. "How do you do it?" She shuddered. "Writing about all that stuff. I couldn't sleep nights."
I explained that I usually enjoy the research, which inspired a fresh round of shudders. "Ugh. Don't you wish you didn't know about it?"
I was about to explain that in fact, writing about the dark side of the human condition can make it seem less scary. But I stopped myself. Because when I really thought about it, I realized there are things I've stumbled across in the course of doing research that I would much rather not know about.
The subject of when violence crosses the line into gratuitous territory is a perennial source of debate for mystery groups. I generally don't participate. While I can't sit through a slasher film, and rarely read horror, even the most explicit scenes of most thrillers don't unsettle me. And that's not entirely due to the fact that I've become desensitized (although that's probably part of it). What always crosses my mind when I read diatribes against that level of violence in books is this: if you only knew. Honestly, I have no idea how homicide investigators sleep at all, considering the things they encounter in the course of doing their job.
When I was writing BONEYARD, I immersed myself in everything I could find on serial killers. And believe me, the reality is so much worse than anything depicted in fiction. I made the mistake once of mentioning a tidbit about Bundy to my husband over dinner. His fork froze over the plate, and he gave me a look I'd never seen before, saying, "Please, don't ever say anything like that again during dinner. Or ever. I don't want to know."
On The Daily Show the night before the Inauguration this week, Bush's press secretary Dana Perrino appeared in a taped segment during the show's final moments (and no, I'm not making this up) and donned a pair of sunglasses. Holding up a replica of the memory-erasing device immortalized in Men in Black, she said, "This will just take a minute. Please focus on this spot." It flashed, and the segment ended.
There are times that I want that device. Terrible stories pop into my head at inopportune moments, flashes of the very worst people are capable of. So maybe my friend was right. There are things I'd rather forget.

Things I'd Rather Forget
13 comments:
Nice post, Michelle. Like you, I don't get too upset watching a horror movie or reading violence in a novel. Mostly because I know it's fiction. But when it comes to the real thing, it can be tough. While researching my last thriller, THE 731 LEGACY, I had to do research on the very-real atrocities committed by the Japanese during WWII. Their organization was called Unit 731 and it was all I could do to read the details of what some called the Asian Auschwitz. If you want a real eye-opener, just Google "Unit 731".ReplyDelete
Excellent post. Dead bodies don't scare me but the bad guys do. I think researching and writing about this stuff is a search for understanding. I'd rather read the pychology aspect behind the crime than the actual violence involved. (does that make sense?)ReplyDelete
Does anyone else believe that there's a dark side to each of us? In exploring its manifestations maybe we're keeping ours at bay.ReplyDelete
Uh-oh I can see all my friends now canceling lunch dates with me.
A dark side in us?ReplyDelete
I spent twenty years as a youth minister in several parts of the country. During that time I worked as an EMT, did plenty of police ride alongs (as I am sure many here have) and in my youth served in the Marines.
I've seen the whole range of personalities from meek and mild mannered church servants to combat veterans who didn't talk much to sitting on a couch in an illegal speak-easy club next to a Hells Angel murderer who regailed me with his stories. (And yes, I thought I was about to be his next victim).
Yes. I believe there is definitely a dark side. The difference between the psychopath and the rest of society is that most of us know it is not socially acceptable to act out that dark side.
But when in a group in chaos, like the Nazis or the Japanese of WWII, or a mind dulled by being inundated by evil input like Bundy, the door to that darkness cracks open. Once the traffic of actions starts through it, the slippery slope into evil pulls one down rather quickly.
I shudder more at my own thoughts and imagination than I do at a lot of the realities out there, because I've thought up some of the same stuff before. I think, at our worst, basest moments, we all have a little of the darkness in us. Some more than others, I guess. But when I'm REALLY angry with someone (and i can count the times I've been that pissed on both hands), I can get a lot of sick pleasure out of my imaginings when it comes to the grizzly, tortured fate of whoever pissed me off. The differences are that 1) I could never go through with it, and 2) I could never be as detached as Mengele, Bundy, Jack the Ripper, et al were about it.ReplyDelete
But yeah, as much as it bothers me to hear what some of these people did, there are times I can at least envision shitty people who really deserve it getting the same treatment, and it takes a second for the rational part of my mind to wake up and say, "No. No one deserves that, no matter what they've done."
But no, that stuff doesn't really disgust or bother me. I'm more afraid of things like Stephen King mentioned in Night Shift: "[I know] the thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real...and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle." Guess that's why I don't write horror.
Joe, if this Unit 731 info gives me nightmares, I'm holding you personally responsible ;)ReplyDelete
And AW, I find the bad guys terrifying too, especially the serial killers.
Camille, consider our lunch date canceled.
Very well said, Basil. And that Hells Angel story sounds like it needs to be written down!
Dark side in us?ReplyDelete
Yes, probably in all of us. I've often thought that those without a conscience are missing some wiring in their brain. Or maybe they are just missing their soul.
What if sometimes a person is born without a soul? Like they slipped through into this world without picking up that which makes them truly human.
Did you ever look into someone's eyes and think ...somethings missing in there?
Something missing...or something extra.ReplyDelete
Not sure which has given me the heebie-jeebies more.
I'm glad I hang out with mostly normal humans nowadays.
If only you knew the powah of the dark side. (heavy, asthmatic breathing)ReplyDelete
Okay, we can laugh at the Darth Vader impersonation, but really we are all just Luke Skywalker walking a narrow path trying to not let the dark side suck us in.ReplyDelete
I'm going in the opposite direction, the more crime I read and write about, the more sensitive I am to it. My husband also requested long ago that I never talk to him about serial killers. He's not too sure about some of my stories either.ReplyDelete
- Bill CostelloJanuary 23, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Hey Michelle,ReplyDelete
Sometimes I don't know which apple to bite from on this. Would I rather listen to the news reports about serial killers and murderers or read fictional accounts of the same type of sociopaths. And I too have become so desensitized to it all that I wonder if I even have an honest emotional feeling when reading about something horrible. Maybe my reaction is just a gut instinct telling me how I should react based on social mores.
I don't envy you having to dive deep into some pretty heart-wrenching topics but I am glad you do. I think it makes you a better writer and certainly no less a person.
Bill :)
Thanks, Bill. I love the dark side comparison, huge star wars fan that I am (the original three, not the sad ones produced recently). I will forge ahead. It was a relief with Gatekeeper to be researching something other than Serial Killers for a change, although hate groups are in their own way so disturbing (just not quite as gruesome).ReplyDelete

Follow us:
Sources Friday evening said Cuomo and the leadership of the party had reached a tentative deal for the incumbent Democrat to take the labor-backed line in exchange for pushing on key progressive issues such as the Dream Act, the public financing of political campaigns and the women's agenda.
Cuomo has been supportive of those measures, but WFP members, as well as liberal advocates, remain deeply skeptical that the governor will truly work to deliver on those issues, as well as helping give Democrats control of the state Senate.
But WFP officials caution that no formal deal has been made, and things could still change between now and when the party meets today for its nominating convention at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center outside of Albany.
"Key thing to note is WFP priorities for endorsement haven't budged one bit," WFP spokesman Khan Sohieb wrote on Twitter, adding that the party was still assessing the "merits and credibility" of the tentative agreement.
Challenging Cuomo for the ballot line is Zephyr Teachout, a Fordham University law professor who charges the governor's economic priorities have favored the wealthy over the working class.
Still, the fight over the ballot line has exposed a deeper rift within the WFP, which includes some of the state's most politically influential labor groups.
Sources on Friday indicated that some labor groups might bolt from the WFP should it nominate Teachout.
Cuomo has lined up the support of the major labor unions, including those within the party.A Teamsters source on Saturday said the seven Teamsters members who sit on the WFP's state committee will cast their votes in favor of Cuomo taking the ballot line.
Two polls from Siena College and Quinnipiac University have shown Cuomo's margin of victory diminished by a generic candidate running to his left — surveys that have emboldened the activist wing of the party upset with his stances on tax cuts and charter schools.
Nevertheless, Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins has pointed out he's already running as the liberal alternative to Cuomo.
Hawkins has raised the idea of running on the WFP ballot line himself, and in recent weeks reached out to the party to team up.
In a statement this morning, Hawkins said that regardless of what the WFP plans to do; he'll be the liberal alternative to Cuomo come Election Day.
"Looks like the WFP have rejected their version of Pierre Rinfret for a recycled version of Cuomo – Mario that is," Hawkins said. "Getting a Democratic Governor to campaign for other Democrats is not an accomplishment if you are a independent third party. Regardless of how the WFP psychodrama plays out, the Green Party will remain the choice this November for progressives who support a $15 an hour minimum wage, living wage jobs, climate action, strong public schools, and an end to corruption at the State Capitol."

We're almost to the finish line, rose lovers, and somehow it seems that the Padmates have suddenly all developed Stockholm Syndrome: As the episode begins, everyone's still gathered in the driveway, and they're giving their full attention to Chris -- who just hours ago was still the most hated man in the house -- as he gives an inspiring pep talk. "I think we're going to have a hell of a time with the final challenge," he tells the troops, all of whom (minus Blakeley) listen raptly, "and regardless of how it ends up, it's going to be an unbelievable experience that only very lucky and privileged people get to experience." Well, that's one way to describe this gang, though personally I would have gone with needy and damaged.
The next day, Harrison strides in wearing a blue button down with... are those zipper pockets? Hard to say. Anyhow, he informs the Padmates that the winners of the next competition will not get a rose, but they will have "a lot of power": They'll decide which couple will be leaving Bachelor Pad... FOREVER. (And this time, he might be right; I would be amazed if ABC greenlights season four based on these ratings.) Harrison leads the gang outside, where they all gaze up in bedfuddlement and wonder at... dangling seats over the pool! But this is no boring endurance competition -- instead, one half of each couple has to sit on the hanging seats, while the other has to answer Bachelor/Bachelor Pad related trivia questions. For each wrong answer, one rope holding up the seat will be cut... and eventually, the only thing separating the seated partner from a chlorine-drenched game-death is a metal bar they can only hang onto with their hands. Everyone clear? Let's get to it!
Each team decides who'll take the chair and who'll face Team Bachelor Pad's litany of trivia questions and much to Nick's chagrin, Rachel wants him to use his brain, not his giant biceps. He's joined by Sarah, Jaclyn and Blakeley… which shows you that most teams took the opposite strategy. Of course the questions start out easy (Q: "Which girl was first into her bikini on Bachelor Pad?" A: Donna, duh!) , but before long ropes are a'snappin, with Tony taking the most punishment due to Blakeley's wrong answers. Soon he's just hanging from the bar, while Chris is relaxing comfortably with three ropes intact. "Sarah's TV watching is definitely paying off," he says admiringly.
First Tony falls, then Rachel, and Ed is not far behind, meaning Chris and his side-mouth-talking sweetie are winners yet again. Who will they boot? It seems like the obvious choice is Blakeley and Tony -- at the very least, we know it's not Rachel and Tony, since the Tonight on Bachelor Pad promos show blondie weeping copious tears over some as-yet-unknown drama. Before Chris and Sarah pull the trigger, the Padmates are allowed to make a plea from their perch on the chopping block -- and they all talk directly to Chris. Nick reminds him that they used to be in the same alliance; while Tony points out that he was there for Chris when "times got tough." Plus, he needs the money in order to make his son "proud." Oh sir, I think that ship has sailed.
NEXT: What's your price for flight?

The clock arrived as scheduled, well packed and in good shape. The color is as depicted in the picture. The design is different enough that it doesn't fall in that "just another clock from a box store" range.Read More

96-year-old's volunteer work honors late granddaughter
Thurman Haynes used to own this land. He owned it for decades, and when suitors came calling, wooing him to sell, he had no interest.
Times and lives change, though, and Haynes eventually agreed to sell the land to Guilford County Schools. Today, a school for special-needs students — the Meredith Leigh Haynes-Bennie Inman Education Center — stands on the land, which is located on Haynes Road, just off of Harvey Road.
And Haynes — 96 years old and still spry as a fly — visits daily, spending as much as seven or eight hours a day volunteering.
"I started when the school opened (three years ago), and I've been doing it ever since," Haynes says. "I just felt like it was something I was supposed to do."
In case you missed it, the school shares a name with Haynes — Meredith Haynes, who happened to be a special-needs child herself, is his late granddaughter — and therein lies the motivation behind the oldest volunteer in the Guilford County Schools system: It's about family.
"They had a very strong relationship," says Haynes' daughter-in-law (and Meredith's mother), Susan Haynes. "She had had some orthopedic surgeries, and he would pick her up at school every day so she didn't have to ride the bus, and he'd bring her home with him."
Meredith was born in 1974 with tuberous sclerosis, a disease in which tumors can grow in the brain and on other organs. Other than occasional seizures, Meredith seemed healthy until she was about 18 months old; then she regressed, losing her ability to speak and suffering other physical disabilities. She went to a number of schools in the county, including Gateway Education Center, a special-needs school in Greensboro. She died of pneumonia in 1993, less than a month shy of her 21st birthday.
Meredith's death no doubt impacted her grandfather deeply — she remains his only grandchild — so when he learned the school system wanted to buy his land and build a school for severely developmentally disabled students, he couldn't say no.
And when the school opened, Haynes — who had rarely done volunteer work in his nine-plus decades of living — began showing up every day to help. Helping students on and off the bus. Pushing them to their rooms in their wheelchairs. Setting up the gym for adaptive physical education classes. Playing with children on the adaptive playground.
Just being there, spreading a little love.
"These are my adopted grandchildren," Haynes explains. "I just love these kids."
That love clearly goes both ways. On Jan. 11, the day before his 96th birthday, the students and staff at Haynes-Inman threw a surprise party for the man they affectionately call "Grandpa." They celebrated with cake and punch, singing and dancing, cards and gifts. They sang his favorite song, "Keep on the Sunny Side."
"It was something else," Haynes says with a sheepish grin. "You wouldn't believe it."
Haynes, who lives just a couple hundred yards up the road from the school, drives his truck to the school most days, but every once in a while he'll walk, a testament to his good health at 96. He still maintains a garden and mows his own yard.
"I've got a little arthritis in my legs," Haynes says, "but other than that, I feel pretty good. One day, we worked about 12 hours setting up the gym — I was kind of tired that day. Sometimes it's a job."
Don't believe him. This has never been a job for Haynes, and everybody — including Haynes — knows it. Ask him what he gets out of it, and he'll tell you.
"A lot of pleasure," Haynes says, breaking into a wide grin. "The pay is good."
Again, the feeling is mutual. Ask Principal Kevin Carr about the school's most-loved volunteer, and he'll tell you.
"Thurman is an incredible volunteer who gives his time and his love to our students," Carr says. "We appreciate everything he does for our school."
There's no denying it. Thurman Haynes may have sold this land years ago, but he still owns the place.
