Truck slams into power pole; Driver killed
Updated On: Feb 25 2014 08:50:26 PM EST
South Carolina Highway Patrol said one man has died after his truck rammed into a power pole Monday night.
Troopers said a 1995 Ford pickup was going north on US 221 in Spartanburg County near Flatwood Road when the truck veered off the right side of the road and hit a power pole and tree.
Highway Patrol said the driver was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center where he later died from injuries. The coroner's office identified the victim as 61 year old Clifford Wayne Long of Cherokee Circle in Spartanburg.
Troopers said as a result of the crash, a power line fell across US 221 and hit a Ford Excursion. No word on any damage or injury from the fallen line.

The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
I wasn't one that took a traditional path to becoming a psychologist - a path that started off in psychology and remained in that field, pursuing advanced degrees. My path was much more eclectic and it wasn't until I was in my late 30's that I truly recognized that becoming a psychologist was what to I wanted to do with my life. Not just a job, but a vocation, an opportunity to learn, educate others, but most importantly give back and help people become healthier. It has been an interesting and invaluable journey. The one defining piece that has been pivotal in my evolution to becoming a psychologist is a deeper understanding of the human condition and how I can help people become understand where they are and where they want to be. In essence, becoming their best version of themselves.It is my hope that my life experiences, both good and bad, because we all have them, will provide benefit to others.

Teaching science through art, literature, or music is the new approach to making the subject fun for kids, says science educator Arthur Eisenkraft
The nemesis of most kids in school is the dreaded subject of science. Just when you begin to start liking the subjects, they decide to stop liking you and hit you over the head with a range of incomprehensible theories and chemical periodicals, species, trigonometry and taxonomy. So how does one make science interesting? According to Arthur Eisenkraft, one of America's leading science educators, any subject can be made fascinating by engaging the students with whatever they love to do, and using that to teach science to them.
This was the crux of the lecture "Engaging Students in Science with Art, Physics, and Literature" Arthur delivered recently at the Azim Premji University as part of the Public Lecture Series. The director of the Centre of Science and Math in Context (COSMIC) in the University of Massachusetts, Boston, the award-winning teacher, apart from being a part of many science education projects, has been engaging students with various arts, to teach sciences.Science is philosophy
"Science is nothing but a philosophy. It's all about asking the question why. It's relatively easier to connect to a student with arts than science. So I project how one can use literature, art, sports, music, theatre, and technology, among others, to teach science to students," says Arthur.
The professor, who was in the city last year as well to help out with the University's work, says, "The science education system needs to rework its approach to students. It is easy to teach science without any interest. But if the student needs to learn, it is through their own interests that a real connection can take place and a passion ignited for science in them."
Arthur sums up his talk in a nutshell: "My focus is to get students to enjoy every subject they study by pulling out all the stops. If teachers can get them to be interested, engaged and excited any way possible, they will do better. If it's through art, I'll give them some art. If it's literature, I'll give them some. Not all the time. But just enough so they will be engaged and find something that has meaning for them."
He further explains that this will help them learn things which at first might not interest them. "This applies not just to science. Our job as teachers is to motivate and encourage students. Once we do that, it's easy to learn."
On asking how he would teach science to a musician, Arthur reveals that there is a lot of science involved in music. "For my physics students, one of their month-long projects is a light and sound show with instruments they build. Now for this, they have to understand how string and tube instruments work. They need to figure out why the shortest string or the shortest tube make the highest notes which helps them learn the physics principles on waves. There are some students who just want to make the light and sound show and don't care about the physics part, but they still have to learn it since it's a requirement. On the other hand, I don't really care a lot about their show. I want them to learn physics. But if I can teach them using the show, then I will let them do it," he reveals.
"It's a win-win bargain, says Arthur. "They can have a good time making their music and I'll let them do that as long as they learn physics. So we're both happy."
The 63-year-old professor also talked about 'Quantoons', a form of quantum cartoons he uses to illustrate science through comic formats. The cartoons depict scientific principles and theories in simple cartoon graphics. "It started with a column for students to get interested in science, which my colleague was willing to illustrate. So over the years we had over 50 of them done and decided to put them in a book. A lot of people enjoy cartoons, so it's easy to reach science to them through cartoons," he grins.
His advice to teachers is that they first enjoy the opportunity to be with students. "Let the students know how much you respect their thinking and enjoy the subject matter." Arthur's plans says: "I will continue to try and change one teacher at a time and one school at a time."

Results tagged ' Toronto '
Not your Daddy's Yankees…
All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight, but I'll just listen to Beethoven…
The Miami Marlins make a big splash to create perhaps the best Marlins squad since 2003 in signing Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle, and Jose Reyes. The Los Angeles Angels rock the largest Hispanic community in the United States by nabbing #1 Baseball Superstar Albert Pujols. Oh yeah, they also picked up former Ranger ace C.J. Wilson along the way. Even the Boston Red Sox, in a season of chaos with the prolonged managerial search, managed to do SOMETHING with the acquisition of former Yankees reliever Mark Melancon from the Houston Astros for shortstop Jed Lowrie and minor league pitcher Kyle Weiland. Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, nothing…
I know, how do you improve upon a 97-win team? Baseball is a game of constantly trying to improve. A little here, a little there…a big splash here, a big splash there. This off-season the Yankees haven't fallen into any of those categories. They haven't even moved to re-sign outfielder Andruw Jones or third baseman Eric Chavez which, in my mind, are important cogs for the 2012 team.
The team with the most money is…
Tonight's wait is to hear whether the Toronto Blue Jays or the Texas Rangers have won the bidding for Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish. In the days of George Steinbrenner, the Yankees would have been the highest bidder and there would have been no speculation about who placed the highest bid (through a few "unnamed sources" within the Yankees organization). I am not saying that it is prudent to spend $50 million plus just to have the right to talk to Darvish, nor do I feel the Yankees made a bad decision by not going after him harder. But this is definitely a different Yankees ownership and one that is not particularly fond of footing the bill for the other owners through luxury tax payments. It's too bad the Yankees have so much wrapped up in Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. A-Rod, in particular, is not the player he once was and no longer worthy of his behemoth contract. I'll give Jeter the benefit of the doubt since he did finish 2011 strongly.
If the Yankees are gauging what they need to do by the Boston Red Sox or the Tampa Bay Rays, they're severely underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had trouble with that team last year, and the 2012 Jays will only be stronger (with or without Darvish).
If you're not winning, you're losing…
This has been a tough sports year for me. The Yankees felt like a team with shortcomings entering October and it revealed itself in the play-offs against the Detroit Tigers. They are still essentially the same team, minus a few players. There's nothing to lead me to believe that the World Series is in their immediate future. Meanwhile, my pro football team, the Minnesota Vikings, continues their march to become the worst team in professional football (only one game separates them from the Indianapolis Colts and the right to draft future NFL superstar QB Andrew Luck). I am sure that even Peyton Manning is a Vikings fan these days. It really stinks when you hope your team loses so that they can place higher in the draft.
I am not a Minnesota Twins fan, but I do live within view of Target Field so it's been tough watching local favorites Michael Cuddyer (Rockies) and Jason Kubel (D-Backs) sign elsewhere.
Clearly, I am someone that needs a 'pick me up' in sports. I want to see a player acquisition that I am excited about. Someone that brings energy, drive and commitment to the team, and helps them reach just a little bit further…
I will say that the Yankees should not trade Jesus Montero regardless of whether it could bring Gio Gonzalez to the Bronx. I'd love to see Gio in pinstripes, but I think that Montero has a chance to be a special talent. You just don't let guys like him get away, even if it means no acquisitions this off-season.
Is that too much to ask? Sometimes I wish Hank Steinbrenner's impulsiveness would prevail over Hal Steinbrenner's calculated intellect. Fiscal responsibility, with a dash of insanity. C'mon, we were "raised" by George Steinbrenner. Weren't you too, Hal?…
At least somebody is doing something…
Recently, I changed my NBA allegiance from the Los Angeles Lakers to the New York Knicks. I've been thinking about this move for several years, but adding Carmelo Anthony to Amare Stoudemire was the clincher. The latest news has the Knicks signing Baron Davis. As a former Bay Area resident, I was saddened when Davis left the Golden State Warriors to join the Los Angeles Clippers. He was perhaps the most popular basketball player in the area. I have a great deal of respect for him, and it's tremendous that he and I have come together on the same team. I know Baron is hurt so his Knicks debut will be delayed, but I really like the off-season moves the Knicks have made. I'd be foolish to think that they are suddenly a NBA finals team, but they are definitely getting better.
Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, just crickets…
Time to kick it up a notch…
Baseball's not a slow game but the off-season is…
It's Thanksgiving, and the Yankees' big moves this week were to sign journeyman utility infielder Jayson Nix and last year's Andy Pettitte stand-in, Freddy Garcia. While I recognize that the Yankees needed to bring Garcia back, I hope that it does not deter them in their search for a legitimate #2 or #3 starter to go behind CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova. I have not seen any updates on how potential talks are going with backup third baseman Eric Chavez, but hopefully, he'll return to New York for one more season. At this point, I view Nix as spring training fodder that will be discarded by the time the team heads for the Bronx.
In recent weeks, I've heard the Yankees linked to potential trades for Jair Jurrjens of the Atlanta Braves and Gio Gonzalez of the Oakland A's. My preference of the two is Gonzalez because of Jurrjens' history of knee trouble. Gonzalez, ironically, has been involved in separate trades involving current Yankees players during his career (Nick Swisher, when he was traded from the A's to the White Sox, and Freddy Garcia, when he was traded from the White Sox to the Phillies).
I am anxious for the Baseball Winter Meetings so that free agent and trade activity will begin to heat up. So far, the early winner of the Hot Stove League has to be the Philadelphia Phillies for no other reason than they've been aggressive while other teams have been idle. Jonathan Papelbon was a good choice for closer, especially when you have as much invested in the rotation as the Phillies do. Ryan Madson did a good job last year, but it's really anybody's guess if he would have enjoyed the same level of success this year since he simply does not have the history to support it…yet. I am not quite sure how Jim Thome fits in, but as a pinch-hitter off the bench, there's certainly worse bats you could have.
The Texas Rangers also did a good job in picking up former Minnesota Twins closer Joe Nathan, even if it does come with significant risk. As long as they have a solid Plan B in place, Nathan could be a very pleasant surprise if he shows that he can still pitch at a very high level.
Who will be the Astros' DH?…
It will probably be strange for the Houston Astros next season as they make their farewell from the National League. Andy Pettitte is probably wishing that this had happened during his playing days so that he could have been ensured of playing at home every season. I think Brad Mills is a good manager but it will be interesting to see if he is retained by new owner Jim Crane when the Astros enter the AL West in 2013. He certainly deserves the opportunity, but you have to wonder if he'll be given sufficient time to succeed.
Happy north of the border or wishing that Yawkey Way was a daily routine…
It's no secret that the Boston Red Sox would love John Farrell as their manager, but the Toronto Blue Jays were obviously unwilling to allow that to happen. Nevertheless, I wonder how Farrell feels. Is he happy and delighted to be in Toronto, or does he have an unfulfilled desire for the Sox? Speaking of the Sox, I just don't see how Bobby Valentine and the city of Boston are a good fit. I don't dispute that he's a good manager, but eventually he wears out his welcome and the pressure of Boston is greater than Arlington, Texas or even Flushing Meadows, New York. I don't really know anything about Torey Lovullo's managing background and Gene Lamont seems like an uninspired choice so I can't say who I think would be a great fit for the job. Admittedly, I am a fan of former manager Terry Francona, so it does seem that whoever takes his place is going to an inferior choice. If it were my decision, I'd probably go with someone who has strong ties to the organization already, like bench coach DeMarlo Hale. But Boston's late season collapse effectively removed any September participants from consideration and perhaps wrongfully so. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the course of the next few weeks.
My first year in Minnesota coincides with the Vikings' worst year in their 50 year history…
With the Minnesota Vikings standing at 2-8 heading into this weekend's play, the baseball off-season has already seemed so incredibly long and it hasn't even really started yet…
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
How About Leaving A.J. in Toronto?…
After losing 2 of 3 to the Boston Red Sox and
ensuring the mail delivery of a Red Sox cap to my home (ugh!), the Yankees went
to Toronto with a chance to clinch a play-off spot. What happened? A.J. Burnett started, so the rest is
self-explanatory. Instead of smelling
blood and delivering a season high performance, A.J. did what he often does
this season, he stuck his head in the sand.
The situation was a perfect set-up. Going back into his former home stadium to
face his former teammates with a golden opportunity to right the earlier wrong's
of the season and propel his current mates into baseball's promised land. Instead, A.J. was long gone by the end of the
third inning as he put the team in a hole they could not climb out of. The pitching line was horrific…2 ½ innings, 7
hits and 7 runs. For $82.5 million, we
got this and a 5.33 ERA in 2010.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox won so the RSN
continues its belief that the Red Sox can win all their remaining games, while
the Yankees get swept in Toronto and Boston.
Burnett could have ended all of that tonight…
It sucks that at this stage of the season, I have
to root for the Chicago White Sox. The
Yankees need to re-group, think about what Tony Dungy said the other day, and
come out to play like a play-off contender on Tuesday night. Win to get in, don't back in…
I was saddened to hear the passing of former
Oakland Raiders great George Blanda. I
remember first becoming aware of him as an aging kicker for the Raiders when I
was a kid. I also remember being shocked
when I learned that he had been a quarterback earlier in his career. His 26-year career contained several careers
within a career. Anyone who grew up in
the 70's will always remember #16 trotting onto the field to line up for a
game-winning kick regardless of whether or not you were a Raiders fan (I wasn't
but I certainly had great respect for Blanda).
On the bright side, the Minnesota Vikings did
finally win on Sunday…
Have Arm, Will Travel…
Say what you will, it was a win…

A night after losing 3-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in a game that probably could have been won if a clutch hitter like Johnny Damon, Melky Cabrera, Hideki Matsui or Jerry Hairston, Jr. were on the roster, the Yankees returned to their winning ways with a 11-5 victory over the Jays. It was another solid fill-in performance by Dustin Moseley. He was only responsible for 2 of the runs, as the remainder were charged against Chad Gaudin. Moseley has definitely stepped up in a big way during the absence of Andy Pettitte. After fretting what life would be like with Sergio Mitre after Andy went on the DL, manager Joe Girardi quickly reversed course and went with Moseley, a decision that has proven to be very fruitful. Moseley is not the front-end starter you want in the play-offs, but for a team trying to battle its way to the AL East Championship, he has been exactly what the doctor ordered.
After losing to the Jays last night, the Yankees found themselves in a first place tie with the Tampa Bay Rays who defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Mention has to go to Rays closer Rafael Soriano who threw a 9-pitch 9th inning that resulted in 3 strikeouts. It was quite an impressive feat. Why did the Atlanta Braves let Soriano get away again?…
Johnny Damon has apparently invoked his no-trade clause to stay in Detroit after being claimed on waivers by the Boston Red Sox. All things considered, I am glad that Johnny opted to leave his Yankees legacy intact. Damon was clearly one of the primary players responsible for the fall of the Curse of the Bambino as the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, however, he was later able to cut the cords with the Red Sox after failed contract negotiations (or lack thereof) to sign with the Yankees where he ultimately won another championship. Had he returned to Boston, he would have tarnished his Yankees legacy and turned the Yankees Universe against him. David Cone was one of my favorite Yankees, but I don't know if I can ever forgive him for going to Boston. I would have hated to see Johnny return to Boston. When I broached the possibility to my Red Sox friends, I received responses like "ugh!", "ick!", and "no!". While Jason Varitek and David Ortiz may have welcomed Johnny back, I am not sure that he would have been embraced by the RSN. Perhaps he would have, but did the Red Sox claim Damon because they truly wanted him or did they do it to block the Rays? As an aging player, I could have understood the player's desire to play meaningful September games. However, for Johnny, there was so much at stake personally. He was a good Yankee, and hopefully, he'll let that legacy stand on its own merits. No reason to ruin it by going back to Beantown. If the Yankees had just waited out Damon's demands and brought him back to the Bronx, none of this would have been necessary. Who knows where he'll play in 2011, but for now, I remain proud of Damon for standing by his principles and commitment.

In an off-topic comment, I was dismayed to hear that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice will miss at least half of the season following hip surgery. Given that the injury was suffered during the NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints, I am not quite sure why Rice waited until now to have surgery. He was the first true threat since the Vikings traded Randy Moss, so Brett Favre is definitely facing a challenge in what should be his final season. This morning, there were reports the Vikings were close to signing former Packers wide receiver Javon Walker who clashed with Favre at times during their days in Green Bay. With Percy Harvin's on-going bouts with migraines, the best receiver at this point is probably Bernard Berrian which does not bode well for the Vikings and Favre.
Seattle Times
Sports can be so brutal at times…
The Yankee Roller Coaster…
So, where do we go from here?…
The Yankees have definitely been stopping and
starting lately. They go into a funk,
rebound, and then go into a funk again.
After a succession of losing or tying series, they've started to win a
few but it has been easy. In the most
recent series with Seattle Mariners, they were dominated in the opening game by
Felix Hernandez, as the M's won, 6-0.
They rebounded to take the next two including a 10-0 annihilation on
Sunday that feature a grand slam and 6 RBI's by Robinson Cano.
As Sunday's game got underway, Yankees radio
announcer John Sterling made a comment about whether Cano could reach 100 RBI's
(he had 80 at the start of the game).
With simple math, he deducted that Cano had been averaging about 20 RBI's
a month so with that reasoning, it would appear that Cano would have a shot
after nearly making the milestone in 2008 with 97 RBI's. Cano must have heard Sterling because he
promptly went out and reduced the "magic number" to 14 RBI's with a little more
than a month to go in the season.
Then Monday, the Yanks were back in the doldrums
when Jose Bautista hit home runs 39 and 40 as the Toronto Blue Jays downed the
Yanks 3-2. The Red Sox own the Jays, but
the Yanks and Rays struggle against them for whatever reason. With Dustin Moseley on the mound for Tuesday's
game, there's not much optimism unless the Yankee bats can come around.
Of course, it doesn't help with names like Eduardo
Nunez, Ramiro Pena and Francisco Cervelli among the starters and Ivan Nova on
the mound. To Nova's credit, despite
allowing one of the Bautista homers, he pitched very well, going 5 1/3 innings
and allowing only 2 runs (courtesy of the Bautista home run) despite 6 hits and
1 walk. He struck out 3. Nova showed that although he is not a talent
like the Rays' Jeremy Hellickson, he can pitch at this level.
It was sad to see former Yankees and current
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella step aside after Sunday's game, a rout by the
Atlanta Braves. Lou opted to depart now
rather than at the end of the season to tend to his ailing mother. At 66, Sweet Lou is most likely done as a
manager, but given his intensity and desire for the game, I'd have to put this
one in the "we'll see" category. It
would not surprise me to see him return to the dugout at some future date. As for now, it would be good for the
Steinbrenner family to reach out to Lou for a consulting role. It would be nice to have him back in the
As the speculation grows for the next Cubs manager,
which inevitably includes current Yankees manager Joe Girardi, I can't help but
wonder if the Yanks would reach out to icon Don Mattingly or if they'd go for a
seasoned vet like Bobby Valentine if Girardi left. I'd prefer to see Donnie Baseball don the #23
pinstriped jersey if I had my preference.
With the Yankees most likely in a first-place tie
after tonight's game (assuming the Rays hold their lead against the Los Angeles
Angels), it's time to kick it into gear.
Now is the time that separates the men from the boys so hopefully the
Yanks are up to the challenge. If not,
they'll be looking at the backside of Tampa and Boston jerseys.
It Is High, It is Far, It is GONE!…
It seemed like an eternity, but Alex Rodriguez
finally did it. With a huge weight
lifted off the Yankees Universe, A-Rod went deep early today against the
Toronto Blue Jays to bring his career home run total to 600. So, hats off to Alex for his huge
I saw one of his comments that when he thinks "small",
he usually comes up "big". Obviously,
when he thinks big, the results were microscopic so I am just glad to get this
one behind us. The rest of the team
seemed to lower themselves to the level of A-Rod's slump in losing three
straight games prior to today. The home
run, a two-run blast, gave the Yankees the runs they would need to win in the
5-1 victory.
Aristide Economopoulos/The Star Ledger
It was a solid pitching performance by Phil Hughes
who previously couldn't get away with a single bad pitch. He fared much better today, so hopefully, the
results will help propel Hughes to the form he held earlier in the season.
David Pokress/MCT
Also, congratulations to Joba Chamberlain for
another solid outing (a scoreless 7th inning). And what can you say about Mariano
Rivera? In a non-save situation, he
lowered his season ERA to 0.91. I can't
say that I was fortunate to see very many Yankee legends, but you can put Mo
into that category. With a storied
franchise that has won 27 World Series Championships, he has been the franchise's
best at his position and one of the all-time greats. When he retires, his number will be retired
because of Jackie Robinson, however, it is certainty that it will be a dual
retirement to include Mo.
Chan Ho Park is now an ex-Yankee as he was claimed
on waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's
unfortunate that Park couldn't re-capture the form he displayed with the
Philadelphia Phillies, but I wish him the best in Pittsburgh.
The Yankees are off on Thursday, and await their
bitter rival, the Boston Red Sox, on Friday.
It is a four game set that will feature Javier Vazquez, CC Sabathia,
A.J. Burnett, and Dustin Moseley.
Moseley against Josh Beckett on Sunday looks like a mismatch, but stranger
things have happened. It should be a
good series. Boston needs to take 3 of 4
or sweep the series, otherwise, they'll have a long road to October. For the series, my friend, Julia (of Julia's
Rants) and I are engaging in yet another wager.
This time, the loser has to wear the opposing team's cap in photos to be
posted on both blogs. I say that at
least five (5) photos must be posted, so I'll see if Julia accepts that offer
or wants to up the ante. I have also
taken it a step further to say that I'll have photos of me in a Boston cap AND
t-shirt should the Yankees lose (which, of course, I do not expect them to
do). If the teams split the series, the
team with the most total runs for the series will be the winner.
After ESPN ran continual stories about the career
of Brett Favre, now comes word that perhaps he really isn't ready to
retire. I wish the media would just
delete the name 'Brett Favre' from their database until the Minnesota Vikings
make an official announcement either way.
I really don't want to go through another round of 'will he, won't he'…
Bring on the Red Sox!…
A Man's Got To Believe In Something; I Believe I'll Have Another Drink…
Conceding first place…
To be in first place, you have to play like you
want to be champions. Unfortunately, the
Yankees have played like anything but since their weekend acquisitions of
Austin Kearns, Lance Berkman and Kerry Wood.
I thought the moves were meant to upgrade the roster. Instead, the life of the team has been
Of course, at the forefront, is the enigma known as
Alex Rodriguez. For a guy who is
supposed to eventually assault Barry Bonds' all-time home run record, he has
made trying to get a single home run so incredibly painful to watch. The paparazzi are constantly following A-Rod
in anticipation of the 600th home run, but it has proved to be a
long and winding road.
Tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays pummeled the
Yankees, 8-2. The Yanks took an early
2-0 lead on a Mark Teixeira home run in the first, but then, the bats went
silent. A-Rod posted another 0-fer,
going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
Tim Farrell/The Star Ledger
I am not sure what it is going to take to snap the
team out of its current funk, but the Tampa Bay Rays have the easiest schedule
for the remainder of the season and now sole possession of first place. With arguably the best pitching rotation in
baseball, they won't be losing too many games so the Yanks chances for winning
the division definitely took a turn for the worst with this past weekend's
series loss to the Rays.
Dirk Shadd/St. Petersburg Times
There are reports that Brett Favre is finally
calling it a career, which leaves the Minnesota Vikings with Tavaris Jackson
and Sage Rosenfels at QB. Suddenly, a
potential NFC Championship rematch between the Vikings and the New Orleans
Saints doesn't look so likely. With
Favre out of the picture, I'd have to say the Green Bay Packers, with Aaron
Rodgers, are the best of the NFC North.
If there is anything gained by Favre's decision (if true), it is that
his off-season indecisiveness will no longer impact the team's plans. I hope that T-Jack learned under Favre last
season, but I can't say that I am overly optimistic.

I realize that there is nothing that can be done
about it, but I am tired of A.J. Burnett.
I've always admired the arm, but the head leaves so much to be desired. It seems as though he has to be coddled by
pitching coach Dave Eiland, and of course, A.J. fell off the map when Eiland
took a temporary leave of absence earlier this season. Tonight, he imploded during a 7-run 5th
inning for the Toronto Blue Jays. Against
his old teammates, A.J. let Toronto runs get to his head and he absolutely
crumbled on the mound. I am disappointed
that Joe Girardi stayed with him as long as he did because it was clear that
Burnett had lost control of the game. It
bothers me that the Yankees are relying on two pitchers (Burnett and Javier
Vazquez) that have to be mentally "right" to pitch effectively. With Phil Hughes subject to an innings limit
and Andy Pettitte currently on the DL, the only sure thing in the Yankees rotation is
CC Sabathia.
Sabo/NY Daily News
The awful Burnett performance was too much for the
Yankees to overcome as they fell to the Blue Jays, 8-6, despite an attempt to
rally and Nick Swisher's two home runs.
Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-2, to move
into a first place tie with the Yankees.

I was glad to see Lance Berkman pick up his first
RBI on a run-scoring single. He has
admitted that it will take some time to adjust to the Bronx, and it is clear
that his heart is still in Houston.
However, I think he'll be okay after he learns his way around. Based on the things I've heard and read about
Berkman, you can't meet too many nicer guys in the baseball so I am sure that
the city and the team will be very accommodating for him. Yeah, even New York City can be nice at
Ted Mace/NY Daily News
Alex Rodriguez?
0-for-5. Can we send him down to
Triple A Scranton/Wilkes Barre? Okay, I
am just kidding, but geesh, this is getting very old. Hey A-Rod, please feel free to mix in a homer
with all those K's…

August 2nd is always a tough date on the
calendar. It is the anniversary of
Thurman Munson's untimely death in a 1979 plane crash. Thurman was my favorite player at the time,
and I had been concerned about losing him to free agency to the Cleveland Indians
at the time. In retrospect, I would have
preferred to see Thurman in a Tribe uniform rather than the fate that awaited
him. I knew how much Thurman's family
meant to him, and of course, that's why he took airplane lessons to begin
with. Baseball has never been quite the
same to me since Thurman passed.
So, Thurman, it's been 31 years and you're still

A Day Filled with Fireworks!…
Welcome back, Marcus Thames!…
Andrew Mills/The Star Ledger
Despite a brief time away (trip to the DL), Marcus Thames made the most of his return to the team with a pinch-hit run-scoring single to drive in the winning run in the Yankees' 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Nothing like July 4th and a day at Yankee Stadium to celebrate Thames return with a little pie…
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images
The Yankees had taken the early lead in the game, but the continued struggles of Phil Hughes allowed the Jays to go ahead in the top of the 5th. The Yankees tied the score in the bottom of the 6th with a two-run inside-the-park home run by speedy Brett Gardner.
The Yankees took the lead in the bottom of the 7th, but like recent games, the bullpen was not up to the task. However, this time, the game tying run was not scored against Damaso Marte or Joba Chamberlain, but against Mariano Rivera in the 9th. With go-ahead run on third, Alex Gonzalez grounded into a force out to end the threat. The Yankees failed to score in the bottom of the frame, so it was off to extra innings.
Like the inning before, the Blue Jays had their chances in the 10th. With David Robertson starting the inning in relief of Rivera, he allowed the first two hitters to reach base (a single and a walk). The next batter, Edwin Encarnacion grounded into a double play on a bunt attempt, which pushed the go-ahead run to third. Robertson intentionally issued a free pass to Lyle Overbay, who had homered earlier in the game, before getting former Yankee Jose Molina to strike out.
So, it was off to the bottom of the 10th. As usual, Robinson Cano was involved in the action as he walked to lead things off. He was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Francisco Cervelli. Curtis Granderson struck out, but Brett Gardner reached base on a two-out walk. Up to the plate came Marcus Thames, who had just been re-activated from the DL. Thames worked the count full before slashing a hit to center to score Cano with the winning run. Welcome back, Marcus, you've been missed!
Uli Seit/The New York Times
It was an exciting day for the Yankees, particularly since the Boston Red Sox were losing to the Baltimore Orioles. It would have been nicer for Hughes and Mo to post more memorable appearances on the day they were selected to the All-Star team, but of course, being an All-Star is not about one game.
When American League manager Joe Girardi takes the field at the All-Star Game in Anaheim on July 13th , he'll have plenty of familiar faces joining him (and Hughes and Rivera as previously mentioned) as MLB announced the following Yankees had made the All-Star team:
Derek Jeter
Robinson Cano
Alex Rodriguez
CC Sabathia
Phil Hughes
Mariano Rivera
Jeter and Cano are starters, Jeter's 11th All-Star appearance and Cano's second. Rodriguez was tabbed as a reserve by Girardi primarily since A-Rod is third in the AL with RBI's at 62 (behind fellow All-Stars Vladimir Guerrero and Miguel Cabrera).
The Yankees have a chance for a 7th All-Star with Nick Swisher in the running for the Final Vote. Special voting is open until Thursday at 4 pm Eastern. Swish faces steep competition from Kevin Youkilis (Boston), Delmon Young (Minnesota), Michael Young (Texas), and Paul Konerko (Chicago).
Congratulations to all of the AL and NL All-Stars!
Well, alas, it is once again time for the "forced" spotlight on a Boston Red Sox player (thanks to my wager loss to Julia of Julia's Rants). Before, I embark on yet another painful journey, I do have to say that I am quite amazed at what the Red Sox have been able to do (within striking distance of the AL East lead) with a disabled list that looks like an All-Star team:
Disabled List
Josh Beckett DL
Spring, TX
Boston, MA
Madras, OR
Atlanta, GA
Mike Lowell DL
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela
Woodland, CA
Rochester, MI
I also read today that All-Star Clay Buchholz is most likely headed for the DL. I may not be a fan of the Red Sox but I am not a fan of these injuries. Hopefully, these guys will return to health in the near future. In the meantime, I'm sure the Red Sox will keep knocking on the door.
For the latest installment, I will go with one of the so-called replacement players who has done a good job helping to fill in for the loss of left fielder Jacoby Ellsbury (and Mike Cameron when he was out)….
#54 Darnell McDonald
Courtesy of The Boston Herald
I can remember when Darnell and his older brother, Donzell, were highly touted youths with the Orioles and Yankees, respectively. Neither materialized with their respective teams, and I had long forgotten the McDonald brothers when Darnell's contract was purchased from AAA Pawtucket in April when Ellsbury went to the DL. He had been signed as a minor league free agent in January. Julia was very quick to inform me when McDonald homered in his first at bat with the Red Sox. He has done a capable job since he joined the Red Sox (5 home runs, 20 RBI's, and .260 batting average).
Darnell played high school baseball with Cherry Creek High School in Denver, Colorado. He was drafted in the first round by the Baltimore Orioles in 1997. He would stay in the minors for the duration of his Orioles career, enjoying only a brief call up in 2003. His stops between Baltimore and Boston included the Minnesota Twins and the Cincinnati Reds. He hit his first major league home run on August 30, 2009 against Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
At 31 years of age, Darnell is enjoying the greatest stretch of his professional career. He showed that he was a wise off-season acquisition by GM Theo Epstein who is notorious for the low cost, high upside approach to free agency. He has believed in the dream since his days as one of the best high school players in the nation, and it is finally happening for him in Boston.
So, whatever happened to brother and former Yankee Donzell? He currently plays for Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League.
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
No Time for Sleepless in Seattle…
A well deserved day off while the Yankees head to Seattle…
Speaking of Seattle, I am always appreciative of the fact that Tom Paciorek no longer plays baseball. For my generation, he was the original Yankee killer. I know that there were many before him and many since, however, he was the first player that I personally witnessed as a single-handed destruction force against anything pinstripe-related.
It was an interesting week. Monday saw the Yankees defeat their nemesis, the Los Angeles Angels, in a makeup of the May 3rd rainout.
Bill Kostroun/AP
Tuesday was a mess. A brawl left Jorge Posada and Shelley Duncan with three-game suspensions. Posada, who had taken exception to an earlier pitch, threw an elbow at Jays pitcher Jesse Carlson, while scoring on a double by Brett Gardner. There were several bench clearing moments, and the latter occurred following the elbow by Posada. Hitting coach Kevin Long and pitcher Edwar Ramirez were also fined for their involvement in the fracas. Any way you slice it, it was an ugly representation of baseball. The Yankees dropped the game, 10-4.
Kathy Willens/AP
Wednesday, the teams were more amenable to each other. The Yankees fell behind the Jays early and trailed 4-2 in the 7th inning. I had started to become concerned that the Yanks were on the verge of their second consecutive loss, but Hideki Matsui allayed my fears with a two-run homer in the 8th to tie the game. At that point, I had confidence that the team would mount yet another walk-off win. I was not denied, although I was a bit surprised by the source. I will first start by saying I love watching Brett Gardner work the base paths. Following a lead-off single in the 9th inning, he stole second. Derek Jeter grounded out to short, but it advanced Gardner, the winning run, to 3rd. That brought catcher Francisco Cervelli to the plate. His single to left scored Gardner, and the Yankees had a new recipient for the pie of the day…
Ron Antonelli/New York Daily News
This morning, I was looking at the AL East standings, and was surprised to see that the Red Sox were only 5 games behind the Yanks in the loss column. Boston has been playing very well lately as evidenced by the 7-game winning streak. Julia is quick to note that this team reminds her of the 2004 and 2007 World Championship clubs, and the way they've been playing, I do not necessarily disagree. Nevertheless, I have confidence in my guys and their 'no-quit' determination. Given that the Texas Rangers have performed the baseball equivalent of hara-kiri, there is no much mystery left regarding whether the Yankees and Red Sox will make the play-offs. The only question is who will take the AL East crown, and right now, the Yankees have the advantage. The Yankees continue their quest for the best record in the AL, but they cannot lose sight of the team in their rearview mirror. I learned long ago not to underestimate the Red Sox.
The Red Sox did see the end of their 7-game winning streak tonight, as they were clipped by the Angels, 4-3. The Yankees magic number has been reduced to 10, although the Angels were able to pick up a ½ game on the Yanks.
Charles Krupa/AP
The Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees were unable to defend their International League crown. They were swept in the finals tonight by the Durham Bulls with a 3-2 loss in the third and final game. The Yankees did pick up championships in two other minor leagues. Class A Tampa won the Florida State League, while the Staten Island Yankees won the New York/Penn League. I'm thinking "three's company", so let's go big league Yanks!
In a somewhat shocking announcement, Peter Abraham of the Yankees LoHud Yankees Blog announced that he will be moving to Boston to work for the Boston Globe. His blog has long been one of my personal favorites, and I will miss his Yankees insight. I am sure that he'll provide Red Sox fans with the same robust and reliable information that we Yankee fans have been accustomed to, not to mention the quick wit. Pete Abe made a comment that some will call him a traitor, but I will not. He is a class act, and his decision was made for family reasons, which is a very admirable trait. I would like to thank him for his work over the years, and I wish him the very best in Boston. Of course, he'll miss out on writing about the 2009 World Series Champions…
My fantasy football team faces a huge dilemma this weekend. My starting QB is Tom Brady, while my defense is the Jets D. So, I have one player working against another since the Patriots face the Jets this weekend. Who do I pull for? Yikes! As an 0-1 team (thanks to LaDainian Tomlinson's ankle), I have to hope that best case scenario plays out.
I will close with a photo of my pride and joy. She has been the master of self portraits since she was very small, and has developed a great sense of humor (despite her dad)…

The Hamilton High School National Honor Society (NHS) sponsored a blood drive Nov. 2 that brought in more than 100 donors and enough blood to save the lives of 288 people in local hospitals. The student group's efforts resulted in twice the amount of blood it had expected to donate to the Blood Center of Wisconsin.
"It was quite a success, thanks to the thoughtful people of this community," said Hamilton teacher and NHS advisor Misti Swanson.

kim from mineola, NY– Verified Buyer
i have a lot of shoes and thought this would solve my problem of shoes all over the place... Not the easiest to put together, the rods kept popping out.. So I used glue and it has now served me fine......
Great for hard surface floors
Dawna from Huntsville, AL– Verified Buyer
Great item, however if performs best when on a hard surface and not on carpet. It fell over several times damaging the connections. I eventually had to throw it away after only having it about two months.
Shoe Rack
Terry from Greenville, NC– Verified Buyer
I had a difficult time assembling this, but once it was put together it is sturdy and holding all of my shoes
J. from MA– Verified Buyer
We've had no problems as far as I can tell with our purchases from here! I am the credit card for my wife and she spends most her shopping here :) The shoe rack ended up working out great for us!
Shoe Rack
Mrs from McKinney, TX– Verified Buyer
Brilliant shoe rack for storing & organising alot of shoes. Bit fiddly & flimsy to put together but perfect hidden in a cupboard as it is narrow/slim. :-)
Good buy
Alethia Scott from orlando, FL– Verified Buyer
Product was good, I'm not a handy person so it was a little bothersome for me to put together, once completed it worked great.
Amazing Find
Teresa from Fayetteville, NC– Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble, sturdy unit. My 12 year niece put it together in 5 minutes.
Karen from Temple Hills, MD
I purchased 2, assembled and connected them at the side. They were fine for a few months but just as another reviewer stated, they started to lean and eventually fell apart. Since I still needed a shoe rack, I used 1x6 pine boards, drilled holes at the same location as this rack, stained them and used the aluminum poles to make my own. My new rack goes almost to the ceiling in my closet, it's attached to a stud in the wall so I don't have to worry about it tumbling over and it's beautifully stained to match my furniture! With the left over poles, I'm making a shorter rack for my boots!
Amy from Saint Michael, MN– Verified Buyer
The shoe rack wporks, but is smaller than I thought. It only holds 40 pair & isn't real sturdy. It works though.
Fell apart - twice!
Kimberly from Surrey, BC– Verified Buyer
I was excited to get this shoe rack. I'm less than excited that it doesn't seem able to support the weight of 50 pairs of shoes and just falls apart. You're supposed to hammer to rods into the plastic frames and it's supposed to hold without any screws... that's totally not the case. It just falls apart. This is literally in pieces at the bottom of my closet. HUGE waste of money!

Catch up on stories from the past week (and beyond) at the Slashdot story archive
You are right in the fact that most constitutions, and probably that of the USA too, comprise some kind of exceptional procedures allowing the government to override the rule of law in the case of an emergency. I think that they're required in order to deal with those cases such as angry people with pitchforks burning down cities etc, something that still happened once in a while in the past century, but I don't expect those procedures to have been applied often nowadays.
And I don't think people have the *right* to lie: having a right to something doesn't mean having the permission to do that thing, it means that there's some law stating explicitly that that something must be given to those who haven't got it.
Anyway, I was wrong in my post above: there appears to be no explicit law against entrapment, if I understand correctly it's just a matter of interpretation by the courts, which has oscillated over the course of years.
That the trade union of nuclear professionals advocates for nuclear power is unsurprising, grant me this consideration.
The wikipedia link that you pointed me to says that China has intentions to bring nuclear power usage to 6% in 2020 up from its current 2% whereas the regulated US were at 19% last year, and the hyper-regulated France was at 75%.
Conclusion: nuclear blossoms in social-democratic countries with a strong central government that invests large amounts of taxpayers' money as subsidies to the industry (or owns it directly).
And thorium reactors are nice, except that they have problems too, the biggest one being of course that they currently do not exist in a profitable form, while nuclear power fundamentalists regularly mention them as the obvious, current solution for every woe of nuclear power.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a nuclear power proponent myself, especially after I've seen the damages done by supposedly green energy sources and their governmental subsidy policies. I just don't like echo chambers.
The high costs of nuclear are driven by non technical issues.
If that were true, we'd be seeing nuclear power plants flowering under authoritarian regimes, whose leaders need not worry about public opinion. Or, we'd see them abund in turbo-capitalist countries, where rich people, or associations thereof, can buy legislation and will do so on every occasion when there's money to be made.
If the effective cost of nuclear power isn't limited to the bill of materials of the power plant and the cost of the finished, ready to employ fuel, it's because of reality, not because of tree-huggers.
Of course, it's also possible that I'm getting old.
No? From the message:
at this point in time I'd advocate against Mozilla, Libreoffice, XFCE or LXDE to switch to GTK 3. They value their independence from GNOME too much.
My comment didn't contain any statement of value about GTK3 or GNOME, so I can't understand the rest of your message about being dickish, lazy, Enlightenment looking bad, me forcing other people to solve my problems, and so on. Perhaps you're talking in general about the attitude you perceive here on slashdot towards GNOME 3, but then if you do that in reply to a message of mine, you make it look like I said any of the stuff you're talking about. Which is not the case.
Which is why at this point in time I'd advocate against Mozilla, Libreoffice, XFCE or LXDE to switch to GTK 3. They value their independence from GNOME too much.
What's the difference between "I advocate against projects that value their independence from GNOME to use GTK 3" and "I don't want you to use GTK 3 outside of GNOME"?
I've got all the money I'll ever need if I die by 4 o'clock. -- Henny Youngman

text: Matthew SkeltonA very good uptake from Marie Correlli concerning Satan. The story goes about a young impoverished writer who is abjectly poor. A long lost Uncle then left him a big windfall, which open doors for him beyond his imagination. With his money he could get whatever he wants and also arrange it to have a successful outcome, all this was possible via the wisdom of Prince Ramirez who has such a great influence on all aspect of life but turned out to be the great deceiver. I love the moral of the story.

Suspect fires rifle at Colo. cop during traffic stop
The officer was uninjured; the suspect was in critical condition after the officer fired several rounds back
The Coloradoan
LONGMONT — A 28-year-old Longmont man is in critical condition after firing multiple rounds with an AR-15-style rifle at a Longmont police officer.
Police say the 36-year-old police officer pulled the suspect over during a traffic stop for driving without his headlights on just before 2:15 a.m. in the 200 block of Ken Pratt Boulevard.
According to a press release issued by the Longmont Police Department, the suspect immediately stopped his vehicle, got out his vehicle, "advanced on the officer and began firing multiple rounds at the officer with an AR-15-style rifle." The release says the officer then got out of his vehicle and returned fire, shooting the suspect at least three times.

You will probably giggle and cringe a bit, but I think it's fascinating to look back on these images from only 50 years ago, and to think about how far we've come (as well as how much farther we have to go!).
Which do you think is the most cringe-worthy of the images? In 50 years, are we going to look back on advertisements from this decade and cringe just as much?

My favorite one, so to speak, is the one about the woman who is equipped to clean the moon in the future with Lestoil and a cosmonaut suit! Hahaha, I ma still laughing.
I sincerely believe that in 50 years women will be outraged at how much we sexualize women in adds today. It already makes me sick!

Speaking in a telephone conversation with Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed
Ouyahia, the Iranian official said that the Islamic Republic and Algeria
could further boost bilateral relations, particularly in the field of oil
and natural gas, IRNA reported Monday.
Rahimi also described ties between the two nations as brotherly and

He made a reference to the imminent visit by the Algerian premier to
Tehran and extended Iran's congratulations to the Algerian government and
nation on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important Islamic
holidays that mark the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
For his part, Ahmed Ouyahia, conveyed the Algerian government's
felicitations on the Muslim holiday and said, "The Algerian government
seeks to increase the level of relations with Iran."
The Algerian minister further expressed his country's desire for further
improvement of trade and economic exchanges between Iran and Algeria.

How Egypt Is Helping Iran to Circumvent Sanctions
by Jonathan Schanzer
The Atlantic
November 15, 2010

If you ever find yourself in downtown Tehran, it's hard to miss the
five-story-tall mural commemorating Khaled al-Islambouli, the man who
assassinated Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in October 1981. The mural
has long been a symbol of Iran's deep disdain for Egypt's secular
rulers, particularly their peace with Israel and their alliance with
the U.S. The mutual animosity has endured over the years, from
Egyptian support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War to the 2009 arrest
of 26 members of an Iran-backed Hizbullah cell in Egypt. In recent
years, Cairo has also expressed its staunch opposition to Iran's
nuclear program, which Egypt and other Arab states view as a threat.
But Egypt-Iran relations are not as black-and-white as they may seem.
Egypt is expanding its financial ties with Iran through a jointly
owned financial institution: the Misr Iran Development Bank. MIDB was
founded in 1975, four years before Iran's Islamic revolution, and has
somehow endured the tumult since. Today, the MIDB may have become a
vehicle for Iran to circumvent economic sanctions with extensive help
from Egypt, one of America's closest allies in the region. It is a
testament to how difficult it can be for the U.S. to enforce
international sanctions, even among countries that appear to be
natural allies in the effort to deter Iran.
Egypt controls 59.86 percent of MIDB, split evenly between the
state-owned National Investment Bank and Misr Insurance Company, which
is partially owned by the state. Iran's 40.14 percent share in MIDB,
worth about $80 million, is held by the Iran Foreign Investment
Company. The IFIC is the investment arm of Iran's Oil Stabilization
Fund, a sovereign wealth vehicle that generates profits for the
Iranian government, with investments in the Middle East, Africa, South
America, and beyond.
Tehran created the stabilization fund in 1999 to help insulate it from
the gyrations of the oil market. When oil was up, the regime threw
money into the fund and invested it through the IFIC. When oil was
down, Iran withdrew money from the IFIC's investments to make up the
shortfall. In the face of severe international sanctions, Iran has
been withdrawing heavily of late. This August, when it became clear
that the stabilization fund enabled the Iranians to resist
international sanctions, the U.S. Treasury Department placed it on the
Iranian Transactions Regulation (ITR) list, an administrative
designation that made it unlawful for Americans to do business with
the company because it is "wholly owned by the Government of Iran."
The Iranian regime looks to exercise similarly direct influence in the
MIDB. The bank's website reveals that one of four members Tehran named
to the board is "Dr. Davood Ebrahim Danesh Jafari." More commonly
known as Davud Danesh-Jafari, he was Iran's minister of economy and
finance affairs under Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from 2005
to 2008.
The IFIC may now be positioning the Egyptian bank as a vehicle to
circumvent international sanctions. In 2009, as the international
community began to discuss ways to punish the Islamic Republic for its
illicit nuclear program, the bank transferred $50 million to Iran,
according to the government-controlled Tehran Times.
Then, as the U.S., European Union, and UN enacted sanctions on Iran in
July of this year, the same state-owned paper reported IFIC managing
director Mehdi Razavi announcing that the MIDB would open its first
official branch in Iran. This enables Iran to make unfettered
transfers. Egypt's cooperation implies that the two nations' economic
ties are only going to deepen, despite the clear U.S. and UN desire to
stop exactly these kinds of deals.
Egypt, one of America's closest allies in the Middle East and the
recipient of more U.S. foreign aid than any country in the world save
Israel, is certainly not planning on becoming a rogue state allied
with Iran. If nothing else, the quiet nature of this economic
cooperation suggests Egypt would prefer to remain in good U.S. graces.
But Egypt is clearly hedging between Iran and the U.S. Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak's regime is likely concerned about growing
Iranian influence in the region. Perhaps the decision makers predict
that U.S. influence will wane after leaving Iraq, or perhaps they
simply see an opportunity for a profitable joint venture.
Whatever motivates Egypt's deal making, the U.S. will need to address
both the MIDB and the Egyptian leadership if the international
sanctions regime against Iran is to remain intact.
President Obama's first choice will probably be to dispatch State
Department diplomats to quietly coerce Egypt to divest from its
Iranian joint venture. However, that could take a while. When Hamas
began importing weapons from the Sinai Peninsula to the Gaza Strip
through smuggling tunnels Tehran was financing, it took six years for
the State Department to convince Cairo to crack down. And that was
when the threat was right on Egypt's doorstep.
The White House could also handle this through the Treasury Department
(where I used to work as an intelligence analyst). According to a
report on Iran's global banking network by Red Cell Intelligence
Group, a company owned by a former U.S. Treasury official, the MIDB
has correspondent relationships with three U.S. banks: New York
Mellon, Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase.
If Treasury were to place the MIDB on its list of Iran-controlled
institutions with which Americans are banned from doing business, it
would effectively sever all ties between MIDB and these American
banks. This could be done relatively quietly, allowing Iran and Egypt
to haggle over the bank behind closed doors.
Whatever path the U.S. takes to the MIDB, the White House (and perhaps
Congress) will need to look at the bigger picture of Iran-Egypt
collaboration. Shutting down the MIDB is one thing, but it will be
quite another to determine--and, hopefully, to correct--the economic,
political, or military concerns that led Egypt to expand this
disconcerting joint venture.
