We often tend to reject the message simply because of who the messenger is–especially if the messenger can't seem to keep his story straight from one day to the next. But it would be a mistake to disregard John Kerry's latest metamorphosis on Iraq. His speech Monday, arguing that military operations there have been a "profound diversion" from what is still foolishly called the "war on terrorism," warrants attention and introspection.
That hardly means Kerry would do a better job, and he may be the most ill-suited candidate in history to champion the virtues of clarity and constancy. It is President George W. Bush, however, who has made the relevant judgment calls, and his stewardship will be the heart of this debate. The failure to be sufficiently clear and convincing about precisely why a course of action has been taken necessarily leaves one vulnerable to the charge of having lost one's way.
What does Iraq have to do with the war we engaged after 9/11? There must be a straightforward, compelling answer to that simple question. Right now though, in the public mind, supporters of the administration's policy appear unsure of their footing–due to self-made complications.
Nevertheless, rhetorical error is no trifle because it can easily metastasize into policy error, our words being an essential conveyance of our aims. There is a very good argument that this has happened with Iraq, and that the fallout could be a failure to accomplish what we started back in October 2001. And, lest we forget, what we started was about the vital protection of the United States, not about remaking the world.
"War on terror," as previously argued here, is an ill-conceived and vaporous term. "Terrorism" surely is not our enemy. It cannot be an enemy because it is not an entity, it is a method. But even if one entertained the possibility that we could be at war with "terrorism"–loosely construing it as shorthand for "terrorists"–the phrase still fails. We are not even pretending to be fighting all terrorists. The Basques, the Tamil Tigers, and the many other regional groups that practice terrorism but do not target the United States are objects of our disdain, but they are certainly not our adversaries in this war. Indeed, if they are, we should stop now because it is then true, as the critics bray, that this war can never be ended or won.
The forces who adhere to the enemy's creed and its imperatives, moreover, have demonstrated themselves incorrigibly dedicated to our destruction. They are thus not to be cultivated, co-opted, or otherwise negotiated with. They must be eliminated, as the Nazis and other totalitarian regimes have had to be defeated utterly–until they were no longer a dire threat.
If the foregoing description of the actual enemy is true, that ineluctably has certain consequences for the conduct of the ongoing war. By avoiding clarity to serve political correctness, by speaking vapidly about "terror" when we really mean Islamic militants, we disserve those ends.
For starters, having a just war against militant Islam means there must be some clear, comprehensible nexus between the operations of militant Islam and the opening of any front in the war. Afghanistan was an easy case–so manifest no effort was required to make it: The al Qaeda network orchestrated the 9/11 attacks (as well as others) and Afghanistan was where al Qaeda was given safe harbor. Q.E.D.
Iraq, on the other hand, was a tough case–as the cases against the worst bad guys usually are. Senator Kerry's "diversion" argument is wrong because there was a rich connection between Saddam Hussein's heinous regime and militant Islam–which fully explains why al Qaeda and its affiliated groups were in such a superb position to align with their Baathist confederates and spearhead the vigorous resistance still confronting our forces. But such a case has to be publicly made, its components marshaled with conviction.
Make no mistake: That Iraq may have had WMDs was extremely important. Given the solemn conditions for ending the 1991 Gulf War and the succeeding resolutions Saddam flagrantly violated, his possession of WMDs might even have been a valid reason, independent of the war on militant Islam, to invade Iraq and depose his regime. But Iraq operations were not framed that way. They were cast as an essential part of the wider war, and, as part of the war on militant Islam, WMDs were secondary. For a new front not to be a diversion from that war, there needs to be an established nexus to militant Islam.
Moreover, if that nexus had been convincingly established, the failure to find WMD stockpiles, while not unimportant, would not remotely be the problem it has become. The Taliban did not have stockpiles of WMDs either, but no one dares suggest Afghanistan was not a meritorious front in the war. No, the case was made that the Taliban provided meaningful support to our enemy: essentially, sanctuary and training grounds for al Qaeda.
The case could convincingly have been made–and it still can–that Iraq similarly aided, abetted, trained, funded, and coddled militant Islam. It need not be (although I think it could end up being) as strong as the case against the Taliban. Given Saddam's track record and the high likelihood that he maintained WMDs, it would be fair to argue that he posed a much greater danger than the Taliban. And had we backed down in 2003, had Saddam gotten out from under the sanctions, that danger would have increased geometrically. Thus, for reasonable people, the proof of alliance with militant Islam need not be as unambiguous as it was with the Taliban. But a nexus is still a prerequisite if Iraq is not to be successfully portrayed as a diversion, and the President must be prepared to illustrate that nexus in a commonsense way that persuades Americans.
First some of them claimed, like Richard Clarke in 2004 on 60 Minutes (but not like Richard Clarke in 1998 explaining President Clinton's retaliatory strike against the al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory), that there was no connection whatsoever. When that couldn't survive the laugh test given the years of multiple contacts, the IC said well, sure, but there was no meaningful relationship, just unconsummated flirting. That, naturally, couldn't bear scrutiny either: Al Qaeda is a full-time terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of America, and Saddam was a virulently anti-American tyrant; both were under international suspicion, and neither had time for casual "contacts"–at considerable risk to themselves–to chat about how chilly it can get in caves this time of year.
Let's say the FBI, circa 1960, had come back from surveillance of a restaurant meeting between Carlo Gambino and Joseph Bonanno, and reported: "Well, there was a contact, and sure, they are full-time crooks, and yes, they do run crime syndicates. But, after all, they're from different families, and different families probably wouldn't trust or cooperate with each other. For all we know, they were probably discussing the pasta." You wouldn't say, "Oh, I feel better now–that 'contact' was probably nothing." You'd say, "We need a new FBI." The image of Iraq and militant Islam huddling together is not different–except that contacts between them were incalculably more perilous for us than a couple of mafia dons carving up an extortion racket.
Still, the IC has minimized them. The current story, if you can follow it, seems to be that there may have been collaboration but there was no operational relationship. This, near as I can tell, means that we don't have Saddam's fingerprints, at least at this point, on the 9/11 hijacking attacks, the October 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, or the August 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (i.e., the three terrorist attacks universally attributed to al Qaeda).
This, we are now reminded with numbing regularity, is the version of history swallowed whole by the 9/11 Commission. That is the same panel that trashed the IC for being unreliable and ineffective–so much so that it must, the Commission insists, be radically reformed. It is the same panel that took the IC to task for its near-total dearth of intelligence sources inside Iraq and the al Qaeda network who could tell us what either was up to before 9/11. Yet, the commission has somehow accepted as gospel the IC's impenetrable analysis of the al Qaeda-Iraq relationship. And it did so even though we now know that much of what the IC believed about Iraqi WMDs–the subject it was convinced it had mastered–was wrong.
It makes no sense, in the midst of a hot war against militant Islam, to be quibbling over whether "contacts" between the enemy and the regime of the world's most vicious and erratic despot–contacts that nobody disputes happened–were "meaningful," "collaborative," "operational," or whatever the euphemism of the month may be. Again, think of the Taliban. They were not directly implicated in 9/11, the Cole or the embassy bombings either. It could equally well be said that the Taliban did not have an "operational" tie to al Qaeda. But does anyone conceivably think it was wrong, that it did not serve the vital interests of the United States, to depose the Taliban? Of course not. The Afghan mullahs knowingly helped militant Islam function as a lethal, evil force.
That should be our standard. Iraq helped militant Islam thrive. As former CIA Director George Tenet represented to Congress in October 2002 (and reaffirmed in March 2004), the "contacts" stretched back a decade, involved high-level officials on both sides, and included weapons training (in the areas of poisons, gases and conventional bombs) as well as negotiations about weapons acquisition, sanctuary, and reciprocal non-aggression. Under Saddam, the notorious Abu Musab Zarqawi and his northern Iraqi confederates in the Qaeda-connected Ansar al-Islam, flourished. The relationships they forged with the regime have seamlessly evolved into the terrorist resistance that has been killing Americans and our allies, in the most brutal fashion imaginable, for the last 17 months.
Those circumstances must be considered in light of other indications about Saddam's anti-American animus and demonstrated propensity to facilitate terror. These include the harboring of 1993 World Trade Center bomber Abdul Rahman Yasin; the harboring of Abu Nidal; the attempt to murder former President George H. W. Bush; the attempt to recruit Islamic militants to bomb Radio Free Europe in Prague; the years of firing at our planes in the no-fly zone; the still unexplained participation of an Iraqi intelligence operative at a Kuala Lampur planning meeting for the 9/11 attacks; the still unresolved (but concededly much disputed) possibility that 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence officer; the reward payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers; and the unbridled celebration in Saddam's controlled media following the 9/11 atrocities.
That other nations may have helped the jihadists more does not detract from the rightness of our cause in Iraq. It may simply mean there is much more to do to root out this blight. But Iraq is where we are now, and Iraq–more importantly–is where the enemy has assembled its forces for a decisive battle. This is no diversion. How we respond may well dictate the outcome of the war against militant Islam.
In the wake of the WMD intelligence debacle and our lack of clarity about the nexus between Iraq and militant Islam, we have allowed the mission to be dangerously inverted in a way that puts American lives in peril, both presently and in the future. The Fallujah standoff this past spring–a paralysis that only postponed an inevitable confrontation with a now exacerbated problem–elucidates the pernicious effects of our airy "war on terror" rhetoric.
A "war on terror" is an enterprise vague enough for easy morphing into a claim that overcoming "terror" means establishing democracy rather than defeating Islamic militants. Once you start to think that way, it is a short path to concluding that the key to victory is to instill in Iraqis a spirit receptive to democracy. Therefore, you reason that our job is to tread lightly in hornets' nests like the Sunni Triangle, expect appreciation for our restraint, hope that the terrorist strongholds will somehow be drawn into the newly free political process, and prove to the whole of Iraq that we are not mere warriors but agents of freedom. It sounds noble. It is doubtless terrific grist for campaign sloganeering. And…it is both delusional and not why we are in Iraq.
To the contrary, a "war on militant Islam" is a mission crystal clear. It says: Our enemies have demonstrated that they will not be rehabilitated; we're here to kill or otherwise permanently neutralize them because, if we don't, they will live to kill us another day. It thus reasons that if our enemies are in Fallujah, we need to go into Fallujah and wipe them out. If that upsets parts of the Iraqi population, that's regrettable, but in the long run it gives them a better chance of future success, and, in any event, it's why we are in Iraq. We should make no apologies for doing what we went in to do.
Simply stated, this war is not a struggle to create stable democracies that, secondarily, might themselves keep our enemies at bay. It is a war to root out and destroy militant Islam, to vindicate the highest purpose of government: American national security. We should prosecute this war with the expectation that the accomplishment of our primary goal will produce conditions that make stability and, hopefully, democracy plausible–if the indigenes are willing to do the hard work needed to make that happen. We are not, however, guarantors of their future; it is our own future that has caused our paths to cross.
Why do I say we are imperiling future as well as current success? Because eradicating militant Islam will be difficult, but not nearly as difficult as establishing democracies wherever hunting down militant Islam may take us. If, due to a failure to describe our mission correctly, we have allowed that mission to be contorted such that erecting democratic institutions is now an operating cost of self-defense, Iraq will almost certainly be the end of the line. That could be a catastrophe.
The enemy that threatens us is not just in Afghanistan and Iraq. Militant Islam plots in or derives support from Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere. We do not have to go to all those places to win; President Bush's display of resolve has, for example, pushed Pakistan to address its own problem and may be having a similar effect with the Saudis. But, for us to win, everyone must be on notice that we are willing and able to go to those places if necessary.
The American people have more than enough stomach for a fight, indeed for any number of fights, if they are convinced that Islamic militants are in those places working to kill us, and that we need to go in and demolish them. After Iraq, however, they will not have the will to risk U.S. blood and treasure so that those who berate our presence, after we undertake the heavy lifting of wresting their countries from despots and terrorists, might someday live in freedom. If Americans come to believe that the price tag for self-defense includes the obligation to remain in war zones until nirvana has been achieved, they will not pay it. And paralyzing national security that way would be a tragedy. Militant Islam would not only survive, but spread and become more menacing.
In that sense, Kerry is correct–although not for the reason he suggests–when he says there has been a profound diversion. It's not that there has been a diversion from "the war on terror." Rather, the label "war on terror" is itself a roadmap to diversion. It too easily conflates the essential national-security mission with the desirable, but decidedly not essential, goal of erecting free, enduring political systems in the Muslim world.
When the enemy is vanquished, we can turn our attention to what should be much brighter prospects for Iraqi democracy. But Iraqi democracy is not why we are there, and how much we can afford to expend on such an effort will depend on how decisively militant Islam has been suppressed as a threat to our interests, and how much of our resources are needed to fight it elsewhere.
Though President Bush has some major repair work to do here, it bears emphasizing that Senator Kerry, while onto the right issue, is the wrong candidate to exploit it. He is even more reluctant than the president to state clearly that the enemy is militant Islam. Further, even if "terror" were the enemy, Kerry doesn't think we should be at war at all–seeing terrorism as a matter for law enforcement, to be investigated and prosecuted once we get hit again. He may say Iraq is a "diversion," but it doesn't divert from anything he actually wants to get back to.
In a time of peril, President Bush is the only serious national-security candidate. But he has to do a better job of explaining that the war is against militant Islam, that Iraq facilitated our enemies and was thus a worthy extension of the war, and that the primary goal in Iraq now is to annihilate the forces responsible for the beheadings, the bombings, and the barbarity. The election and, more significantly, the war hang in the balance.

The Spanish defender believes the Black Cats "can take confidence" from their defeat at Goodison Park and can now begin to improve after a good team performance
Sunderland defender Carlos Cuellar says he is taking the positives from the team's performance despite their 2-1 loss against Everton, and admitted that it was a tough result to take.Two late goals in the space of two minutes gave the Toffees all three points but the centre-back has credited the Black Cats for their most improved overall performance.
Prior to the game Sunderland had only taken a total of 13 shots on target this season while Everton had hit 17 against Fulham the week before.
But Cuellar says he is happy that they produced some fine attacking football against David Moyes' side, leaving him optimistic about his side.
4/1 | Sunderland are 4/1 with bet365 to beat Fulham |
"We had good control of the ball and good spells in the game and really tested their goalkeeper. To lose after taking the lead is tough... but we have to take the positives from how we played.
"The players are down at the moment, because we played so well and lost, but we can take confidence from that performance, we know know we played well."

Gas club seeks more clout, but not yet an OPEC
- Tweet
- Share this
DOHA (Reuters) - Leading gas powers on Monday took a small step towards setting up an OPEC-style group, but sought to reassure consumer nations it was business as usual for now.
The Gas Exporting Countries Forum, at its first meeting in two years, decided to establish a group of experts to study how to strengthen the previously toothless organization.
"In the long term we are moving towards a gas OPEC," Algerian Energy and Mines Minister Chakib Khelil said. "It will take a long time."
"We are trying to strengthen the cooperation among gas producers to avoid harmful competition. Some will say it is like OPEC, some will say it is just coodination among gas producers," said Shokri Ghanem, head of Libya's energy sector.
The study group, chaired by the world's leading gas exporter Russia, will look at factors including pricing, infrastructure and the relationship between producers and consumers, ministers said.
It will report back to the gas forum's next ministerial meeting in Moscow in 2008.
The energy minister of Qatar, host to Monday's meeting and home to the world's third largest gas reserves, placed the emphasis on improved dialogue between producers and consumers.
"We should work towards greater cooperation to stabilize the market, to give confidence to our consumers. We should send a very positive statement to our customers that we are with you, not against you," Abdullah al-Attiyah said.
He took exception to the term cartel, saying he preferred club or group. "I hate the word cartel," he said.
Russia also rejected the implication producers would collaborate at consumer expense.
"We do not, and will not, set ourselves the goal of ganging up on anybody. It would be destructive and it would make no sense at all," Russian Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko said ahead of Monday's meeting.
Since its formation in 2001, the gas producers' forum, whose members are responsible for around 60 percent of world gas exports, has been viewed by analysts as a talking shop.
The prospect of converting it into a more forceful body was rekindled in January by Iran's supreme leader and more hawkish energy ministers seized on the idea.
"We think such an organization would be beneficial. There are proposals for it, but such a process would be lengthy," said Iranian Energy Minister Kazem Vaziri-Hamaneh.
Venezuela, a political ally of Iran, backed a gas version of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and together with fellow South American energy producer Bolivia, is also striving to set up a regional cartel.
"I think it is a very good idea. Gas is the second source of energy in the world," said Rafael Ramirez, energy minister of Venezuela. "We need to defend our interests."
Neither Iran nor Venezuela is a gas exporter, although they hold large reserves that they are expected to develop eventually.
By contrast, Russia needs to reassure customers it is reliable, analysts say, as the leading gas supplier has twice halted energy exports to Europe in pricing disputes with transit countries.
Regardless of their stance on turning the gas forum into an OPEC, all ministers have said the idea was not yet practical because gas has yet to become a globally traded commodity.
Although gas is usually priced in long-term contracts and on a formula derived from oil, Algeria's Khelil said the market was changing as gas gains in importance and the energy mix evolves.
"The world has changed. Now we have lots of things that people did not talk about five years ago. We have wind and solar and all these things are connected to gas," he said.
Analysts view the advent of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a move toward a more global gas market.
LNG is gas cooled to liquid form so it can be shipped to various markets and is far more flexible than pipeline gas, which is supplied to long-term customers.
Since last year, when it snatched the number one position from Indonesia, Qatar has been the world's leading LNG exporter.

Ralph Nader's New Project: Novels
Crusading social critic Ralph Nader has ventured into new territory — the writing of novels. He has just published a 700-page work of fiction called Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us.
Copyright © 2009 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
The perennial presidential candidate and social critic Ralph Nader is staking out new territory. He's published a novel, a 700-page novel, a really big, thick book. It's called "Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us." Alan Cheuse has a review.
ALAN CHEUSE: So, here's Ralph Nader trying to be a Tom Wolfe in sheep's clothing. He's pimping up an argument about how Americans might organize a movement to take back government from special interests. And he expects readers to come along for a 700-page ride. This is how it goes. More than a dozen or so of the retired super-rich, under the direction of Warren Buffet, set the plan in motion over the course of less than a year. There's George Soros, Ted Turner, Ross Perot and William Gates, Sr., among other billionaires, and some wealthy entertainers: Bill Cosby, Yoko Ono and Warren Beatty, who pitch in.
America, to all of them, is a land where there's only liberty and justice for some. Point well made. And they want the pledge of allegiance to truly cover all citizens. From a headquarters in Maui, yikes, the social critics really know how to live, they established their movement and set up groups to organize labor and some sympathetic businessmen, an attempt to convince a reluctant Congress and president that their path remains the best way to walk the walk. Corporations tried to block them and defame them to no avail.
When Wal-Mart falls in line, you know you're in the true fantasy. And when Rush Limbaugh in these pages known as Bush Bimbaugh loses a live radio debate to Ted Turner, you know you're in the middle of an hysterical fantasy. At 100 pages, the book might've been a bearable fable. At 700-plus, it's an unconscionable attack on America's trees.
NORRIS: Ouch. Ralph Nader's new novel is called "Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us." Our reviewer is Alan Cheuse. He assures us his latest book, "A Trance After Breakfast," is not 700 pages long.

Olivier Giroud scored twice as Arsenal started their Far East tour with a convincing 7-0 victory over Indonesia All Stars on Sunday.
The Frenchman's second goal, and Arsenal's fourth, was the pick of the bunch as Arsene Wenger's side treated the 88,000-strong crowd to a slick performance.
Much has been made of Arsenal's pursuit of attacking reinforcements, with Gonzalo Higuain, Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres all reportedly on their radar.
But Giroud's display might have convinced Wenger that he already has the replacement for Robin van Persie that he so desperately craves.
Theo Walcott, Chuba Akpom, Lukas Podolski, Kris Olsson and Thomas Eisfeld were also on target for the rampant Gunners in Jakarta.
Arsenal broke the deadlock with 19 minutes gone when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cut the ball back for Walcott to slide home the opener.
The hosts saw very little of the ball but Sergio Van Dijk's ambitious effort that flew just over the bar gave them some hope shortly before the interval.
It took just nine minutes of the second half for the visitors to add to their tally, however, as the impressive Akpom applied the finishing touch to Serge Gnabry's cross.
Giroud put the result beyond doubt with two goals in three minutes, Bacary Sagna providing the assist on both occasions.
The first, after 70 minutes, was a delicate close-range finish but the second was a stunning left-footed drive on the turn that would have graced any stage.
Podolski added the fifth with a powerful finish from the edge of the box with seven minutes to play and 18-year-old Olsson's classy finish increased their lead two minutes later.
Eisfeld's strike, which went in off the underside of the bar, completed the rout.

Investigation targets New Jersey senatorThe Associated Press | March 16,2013AP Photo
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., is being investigated by a Miami federal grand jury for his role in advocating for the business interests of a wealthy donor and friend.WASHINGTON Sen. Robert Menendez is being investigated by a Miami federal grand jury for his role in advocating for the business interests of a wealthy donor and friend, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The newspaper reported that as part of the probe, federal agents have questioned witnesses about the interactions between Menendez, D-N.J., and Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen. The newspaper said the grand jury also issued subpoenas for Melgens business and financial records. The newspaper cited unidentified people it said were aware of the probe.
A spokeswoman for Menendez, Tricia Enright, didnt respond to a question about whether the senator is under a grand jury investigation but issued a statement saying, We welcome any review because Senator Menendezs actions have always been appropriate, and we believe the facts will confirm that.
Federal agents have not contacted Menendez, one person told the Post.
The newspaper said Melgen declined to say Thursday whether he knew anything about the investigation, but he said any probe would find no wrongdoing.
Melgen attorney Kirk Ogrosky said the eye doctor was proud of his relationship with the senator and had no worries about any federal investigation.
Menendez and Melgens overlapping interests have repeatedly raised questions in recent months. Menendez was compelled to reimburse $58,000 for two flights to the Dominican Republic aboard Melgens private jet for personal trips in 2010 that he previously had failed to report, prompting scrutiny by the Senate Ethics Committee.
Menendez also has acknowledged contacting U.S. health agencies to question their billing practices and policies amid a dispute between Melgen and federal authorities. And Menendez was a key sponsor of a natural gas bill that could have aided a Melgen investment in a Florida company that markets a conversion system for natural gas truck engines.
Melgen has given more than $14,000 directly to Menendezs political campaigns since the late 1990s and, through his eye clinic, donated $700,000 last year to a super political committee that supported Democratic Senate candidates. The committee, in turn, spent $582,000 to back Menendezs re-election effort.
The investigation began with two disparate issues, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke with the Post. First, auditors had been reviewing allegations that Melgen was fraudulently overbilling Medicare for treating his patients. Melgens attorney has said the doctors billing was completely appropriate.
Then, in the fall, the FBI began looking into an anonymous tipsters allegations that Melgen had arranged prostitutes for Menendez in the Dominican Republic. Such an arrangement could constitute providing a favor or gift under the bribery statute that investigators have been reviewing, the Post said.
Lawyers for Menendez and Melgen have said the allegations involving prostitutes, which also were made by the conservative website the Daily Caller, were absurd. Menendez has said the allegations, which first surfaced during his re-election campaign last year, were part of a Republican smear campaign.MORE IN Wire NewsThe Associated Press Full StoryKIEV, Ukraine Ukraines president said Sunday that intercepted radio and telephone...

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Attendance: None
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Dallas Braden threw seven strong innings, and Jack Cust and Jason Giambi each hit a two-run homer, as the Oakland Athletics defeated Detroit, 5-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Braden (6-7) allowed one run on five hits and a walk and struck out three in the win. Brad Ziegler and Andrew Bailey each tossed a scoreless inning to end the game.
Kurt Suzuki doubled and drove in a run for the A's, who won this series after losing five in a row.
"We've been facing good pitching all year," Cust said. "Today we went out and beat one of the best pitchers in the league. We've just got to take that mindset and remember that, and go into these next games against guys that are similar to him and try to have good at-bats."
Justin Verlander (8-4) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk in six innings and took the loss. He also struck out six.
"I went back and looked over some of the tape and the two pitches that hurt me weren't that bad of pitches," Verlander said. "Can't be too disappointed. Obviously I am in the results, but the way I threw the ball, I'm all right with it."
Gerald Laird doubled and had the lone RBI for Detroit, which has dropped its last two series.
The Tigers got on the scoreboard in the second inning, as Ryan Raburn hit a one-out single and Laird later doubled to drive him in.
But Cust hit a two-run shot in the fourth, his 14th homer of the season, to give Oakland the lead. Giambi then homered to right in the sixth after Matt Holliday had led off with a single.
In the eighth, Bobby Crosby had a one-out base hit and came around on Suzuki's double to make it 5-1. Bailey then struck out the side in the ninth, working around a one-out walk to Marcus Thames in the process, to finish the game.

Want to avoid a shark attack? Do the shuffle
POSTED: Thursday, June 12, 2014 - 6:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 12, 2014 - 6:14am
The kicked up sand from your feet would scare the shark away
Galveston, TX — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; Galveston Island Beach Patrol says the key to avoiding sharks is shuffling instead of walking in shallow water and whatever you do, stay away from schooling fish.
That's after a 14-year-old Mikaela Amezaga from Bellaire received her very own shark bite, right out of her back, when she was swimming off the Island Saturday evening.
"Shuffle your feet so the shark can see you coming," said Peter Davis from Galveston Island Beach Patrol. The kicked up sand from your feet would scare the shark away, he said. Shuffling is also known to alert sting rays and flat fish.

SVG files are difficult. While they can be displayed within web pages using an <img> tag, they are actually XML documents in and of themselves so WebKit browsers like Safari and Chrome don't need wrap HTML around them in order to display them; they just render the XML document directly. This means that the SVG is the entire content of the page you are viewing, and it seems that Safari ignores custom stylesheets for documents that are not HTML. |

I'm afraid that there's no way to center a single HTML element (i.e. without a containing tag) vertically using CSS. Safari renders the image within <html> and <body> tags, but there's no way in CSS to target (for example) "a <body> tag containing one and only one <img> tag" or "the parent element of this element here", so it can't be used to vertically center the image. |

Emotional health
Emotional health can lead to success in work, relationships and health. In the past, researchers believed that success made people happy. Newer research reveals that it's the other way around. Happy people are more likely to work toward goals, find the resources they need and attract others with their energy and optimism — key building blocks of success.
Adapted from "Review of research challenges assumption that success makes people happy"

In 2008 we lost one of our little dogs, a friend at work pointed me to a listing on Pet Finders of a litter of PomChis. I looked at the listing and realized they were about an hour drive from us, so I applied on line to adopt one of the puppies and once approved, we drove out to OK Save a Dog and met Kim. The dogs were all so well cared for and it was obvious they were happy and loved there. Of course the one we were interested in was one of four from the litter and Kim told us another couple was driving up from Texas to take one of the males, but we could have our pick of the males. Well call us crazy, but we ended up adopting one of the males and both the females that day and have since adopted two more from Kim. I love her dedication to the animals. Some people complain about rescues having adoption applications, etc. I say great, if you can't be bothered to fill out an application to get a new member of your family, then you probably won't be bothered to care for them. Kim and Sunshine are wonderful and the work they do is admirable. Keep saving them Kim and Sunshine and I will keep doing all I can to help!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My daily life, I adopted 6 dogs from them and they are a very important part of my life and family.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make sure they had all the money they needed to do the wonderful work they do.

To "AAlia" et. al "don't criticize what you don't understand... 'Cause the time they are a changing"
Michael Clayton (15)
Time Out rating:
Time Out says
Mon Sep 24 2007
There are shades of 'Erin Brockovich' in screenwriter Tony Gilroy's directorial debut: a gorgeous, lovable A-lister (here George Clooney) gets caught up in skulduggery surrounding a massive class action lawsuit brought against a heartless megacorporation. Nor is Gilroy's technique a million miles from Soderbergh's, what with its tricksy chronology, fragmented, impressionistic montage and canny use of, er, George Clooney.
Clayton is a stalwart at a prestigious New York legal firm, a go-to man for awkward situations requiring a delicate touch; his private life, meanwhile, is a jumble of divorce, debt and family strife. He's charged with damage limitation when his close colleague, company legend Arthur (Tom Wilkinson), cracks up six years into his defence of multinational company UNorth's dodgy weedkiller record. With his boss (Sydney Pollack) distracted by a potential buy-out of the firm and UNorth's highly strung general counsel (Tilda Swinton) on a hair-trigger, the personal welfare of Arthur and Michael is not a top priority.
This story is not without its formulaic, even clichéd, elements – the fixer who can finesse away everyone's problems but his own, the corporate lackey redeemed by taking a stand – but its structure is unpredictable and stimulating. Through a cool, muted palette and excellent cast, Gilroy establishes a strong sense of the corporate milieu and its discontents, paying attention to the frail, messy human bodies beneath the power suits. The film also offers a handful of striking coups, including a terrifyingly efficient murder, a bristling climactic confrontation and a final, sombre shot of Clooney in a cab that makes him seem less like Cary Grant in 'North by Northwest' than Bob Hoskins in 'The Long Good Friday'.

How To BackUp Custom Set Icons ?
Hi there
so i have a lot of folders that have custom(downloaded icons not the windows icons) icons and now i need to format my pc so how do i back up all my customized folder icons without having to change them one by one which will take hours to do, thanks. |
My System Specs |
26 Oct 2013 | #2 |
Was this an icon pack, or just individual icons you have applied over time? Individual icons I don't believe you can save the settings without a system image, which would sound unlikely if you are reformatting to install windows fresh?
A Guy |
My System Specs |
27 Oct 2013 | #3 |
Yes its individual icons, what made me come up with this thread is this: i have drive C and D all the customized folders and the icons are in D,sometimes when i format C i come to D and see that all folders still have customized icons this happens 3 times outta 8 so it got me wondering what is keeping them have customized icons when C is on a fresh install
My System Specs |
27 Oct 2013 | #4 |
If the icons themselves are stored on D, then the fresh install on C would not remove them. Id they are linking from C, then of course they will be removed. A Guy

Mercedes A Class LED Lights
The Mercedes A Class has a muscular structure and a regal styling design. It has a powerful engine, a strong suspension and the persona of a sports coupe. The cabin area is luxuriously furnished to provide the best in riding comfort. It has exceptional stability, always hugging the road. However, you need to replace the incandescent light bulbs with Mercedes A Class LED lights for better visibility and increased safety. LED lights burn longer and cooler than factory bulbs. They provide cleaner and brighter light. Incandescent lights wear out with continued usage. More than that, they get dimmer with time necessitating replacement at some point. LED lights on the other hand last a lifetime. Your first purchase is actually your last. They are resistant to vibrations. They are further reinforced by a moisture proof casing, which prevents water seepage. CARiD stocks a wide range of LED lighting solutions to meet the varying needs of its discerning clientele.
Mercedes A Class LED lights are engineered by skilled professionals with the aid of sophisticated software to guarantee a durable and reliable product. Manufacturers use premium materials to ensure the end product meets the needs of the client in a sustainable manner. LED lights are suitable for internal and external application. The headlight kit is mounted under the headlights to provide better visibility for the driver. The days when drivers strained their eyes under the dim light of a factory bulb belong to the past. LED lights provide greater utility especially when installed as strobe and brake lights. They flash in different colors in tune with your brake and turn light signals. They also light up faster than incandescent light bulbs. This gives the motorists behind sufficient time to respond to your actions. This improves road safety because motorists gain an additional 21 feet of braking distance.

Prime Minister Nehru told the Lok Sabha on September 5 that Government would take up, at diplomatic level with other countries, particularly those in the Commonwealth, the question of violation of Indian territory by the Portuguese troops. Replying to a short-notice question by Mr. Hiren Mukherji, Mr. Nehru said the Government did not contemplate any military action in this matter. Any other type of action which was feasible would be taken. Mr. Mukherji had asked if in view of the repeated violation of international law and morality by Portuguese troops, the Government would seriously contemplate any action other than registering protests, and "roughly" what this action would be.

A Sometimes Secret and Occasionally Bloody History of Papal Elections
In 1271, with the papal throne vacant for over two years, local officials locked the cardinals of the Catholic Church in a room, forcing them to select a new pope.
