Senior diplomatic officials and regional experts described the growing refugee crisis caused by the Syrian civil war. Representatives from Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and Turkey, all of which border Syria, talked about the effects of the refuges on their countries' resources, political dynamics, economics, and social structures. Kelly Clements of the State Department talked about the role of U.S. policy in the region. She said the rate of refugees flowing out of Syria was unlike anything the world had seen since the Rwanda genocide of the 1990's. close

The chefs at Tenka Asian Bistro don't hide in the kitchen while concocting their mouthwatering Japanese cuisine. Whether they're searing up meats on tableside hibachi grills or tranquilly crafting rolls at the sushi bar, these chefs entertain their guests with flashy cooking techniques right in the dining room. The result of these culinary performances is a vast menu of sushi and sashimi and dazzling displays of seared hibachi scallops, filet mignon, lobster, and chicken. Meanwhile behind closed kitchen doors, another team of chefs whips up Chinese specialties such as lo mein, egg foo young, and fried rice out of the sightlines of hungry guests and vengeful Medusas.

Well, don't let me bore you with even more details because it would get pretty ugly as to perspective then tracing further back on this worldline.
Of course, the "Back to the Future" movies go somewhat into some of really what was happening when they are in the '50's as to what was developing at the time.
But then perhaps you won't be talking to really stupid people here on this forum. Well, that is what I think that they really may be, because if you find fault with them, they always will find fault with the other person first.
I just think that as having a relationship with these people they ought to remind theirselves of what it was that they were doing in the Past, not telling us all the time what they did not do.
They continue for the most part to do nothing but explain how they ought to get paid for it anyway, and being greedy, and selfish, even more then people can afford in this Country.
We are in a War - because other people attacked this Nation.
Well, back to the current discussion on relationships and perspective - I hope someday my computer can do that also. That would really be something, luckily they are not the ones who are going to program a computer any time soon.
They will state that they have a brain and a perception and a consciousness and will continue to do so, even if you continue to tell them or any of us perhaps - differently.
Well, continue on with the website, hope it is up soon.
Continue on!

Tackling a few relevant topics on PECOTA day. Welcome to PECOTA day, sponsored by DraftKings. Premium subscribers can now download the 2015 Weighted Means Spreadsheet under the Fantasy tab at the top of this page, or by clicking "manage your profile." Player pages have been updated with these projections, as have team depth charts (with projected standings) and the fantasy team tracker. Allow us to expand on a few details that might be helpful to you. Why Does PECOTA Hate My Team?Every year, fantasy owners and fans of teams ask this question, "Why Does PECOTA Hate My Team?" Last year, Deadspin compiled five dozen "(maybe) surprising player projections." This season, there's already been a Lineup Card with eight such surprising projections and Sam Miller did some Pebble Hunting to reveal some of the "winners" in the PECOTA pitching projections. This all raises the question of why Baseball Prospectus would keep publishing surprising projections. Shouldn't these things be getting better with time, as the system is refined and there's more data? It would be disingenuous to suggest that projections never miss the mark. Sometimes by a lot. In fact, last season alone, 39 of the 362 position players for which Baseball Prospectus had projected 100 or more plate appearances actually amassed 100 or more plate appearances with very unexpected (to PECOTA) hitting performances. We looked at these players' WARP-per-600 plate appearances, with FRAA removed (yes, FRAA is important, but it's projected differently and is—sometimes—much more out of the player's control than batting stats). Using this metric, 39 players missed by 3.0 or more WARP-per-600. It could almost have been called, "Craig's List", as Mr. Allen Craig was the no. 9 culprit with a WARP-per-600 difference of 4.6 … and as those who saw him play for Boston can attest, he was making a strong run to top this list. PECOTA had projected 1.8 WARP-sans-FRAA in 426 PA (March 22nd projections), and he ended up with -1.7 WARP-sans-FRAA in 505 PA. But Dan Uggla took the top honors, falling 5.7 WARP-per-600 short of projections. Steve Pearce was no. 3 and represented the top over-performer, bettering his WARP-per-600 projection by 5.4. The above examples come from the most stable group of players—batters who were projected to play and who did play. Yet, some of the most surprising projections entering the 2014 season ended up being close to perfect. For example, people who saw A.J. Burnett pitch in 2013 thought PECOTA needed glasses, as it projected Burnett to have one of the 10 largest declines in 2014. It projected his ERA to be 4.24, which, considering the drop in leaguewide offense in 2014, would have been adjusted to 4.14. His FIP in 2014? 4.14. Projections for Bryce Harper and B.J. Upton, tabbed as "(maybe) surprising" in the Deadspin article, proved prescient.. Remember the reaction when Chris Davis had a .289 TAv projection (again March 22)? That number ended up being optimistic (he posted a .271), even though when he was coming off a .358 TAv season virtually everyone thought PECOTA hated the guy. Seriously, though, PECOTA doesn't hate any player or anyone's team. There are no biases in it based on anything but historical track records. For completeness, it should be noted that results such as the examples herein are not just "shrugged off" – both accurate and inaccurate results are processed. So, while some projections are going to be surprising, it's important to keep in mind that all-in-all, the results have been very accurate over the years (thank you, Nate Silver!). Using Team TrackerEveryone who follows baseball at all has probably dabbled in the Baseball Prospectus Team Tracker—the most powerful tool of its kind available. For a reminder of some of the various things Team Tracker can do, both on the Team Tracker pages and elsewhere on the site, please refer back to Feature Focus articles on Team Tracker, Basics and Team Tracker, Advanced. The primary reason it's being mentioned here is that 2015 PECOTA forecasts are now available. Shown is an actual portion of the Team Tracker page for the hitters on my Scoresheet team. (A team which was much better last season than it had any right to be. I had the second-best record among 24 teams entering the final week of the season and then, um, moving on… ) It can be seen that even for a 24-team league, hard times are likely ahead in 2015, based on PECOTA projections. The excerpt from my Team Tracker display is truncated on the right side as a reminder that there are many other stats which can be selected for the reports—allowing them to be tailored to each owner's needs.

What makes a manager lose his job? Last fall, the Diamondbacks, Cubs, and Red Sox all finished last in their respective divisions. The Diamondbacks dismissed manager Kirk Gibson in what was widely seen as an appropriate move given the franchise's decline and Gibson's grittiness-bordering-on-violence. The Cubs fired manager Rick Renteria, not because of performance but because Joe Maddon became available. Public reaction was one of uncomfortable sympathy; nobody was out for Renteria's head, but c'mon, it's Joe Freaking Maddon. The Red Sox retained John Farrell, whose team severely underperformed expectations. Surely he benefitted here from a wildly successful 2013. Point being, keeping or dismissing a manager is a complicated decision, in which on-field results have to be weighed against history, context, and intangibles like leadership and respect. But of the tangible results, which types truly matter, and how much does each shade the picture? I aimed to build a model to answer that question. The Model January 13, 2015 6:00 am
The players who played where players like them should not play. Baseball certainly had its share of wacky storylines in 2014. From the mystery woman in the Giants' dugout during the wild card game to the Great Wall of Dodgers to, well, the Royals' entire playoff run, baseball maintained its heritage of bizarre occurrences. (Ben Revere even homered! Twice!) Most importantly, the longstanding tradition of Weirdball with people playing out of position continued. Last year, I wrote about the 2013 All Out-of-Position Team, a collection of players who spent time on defense in places where they were about as appropriate as Jose Canseco on The 700 Club. Raul Ibanez never did get to center field as I had hoped, but there was definitely an impressive showing of major-league players who simply should not be associated with the positions they played. However, every appearance they made there was a treasure, truly demonstrating the strange depths baseball can occasionally reach. Pitcher: Adam Dunn December 15, 2014 6:00 am
Why does the value a team places on a draft pick seem to change from situation to situation? "The Yankees never made an offer to David Robertson; determined they'd rather sign Andrew Miller and get the draft pick [compensation] for Robertson." – Buster Olney, via Twitter All other factors equal, it is preferable to sign a free agent who is not attached to a qualifying offer than a free agent that is QO-attached. This is obvious. What is not obvious is by how much, or whether that "how much" is always constant from free agent to free agent for each team. First round pick protection, competitive window, payroll limit, state of one's minor-league system, and upcoming draft class will all determine how each team costs (values) losing a draft pick. According to traditional financial, economic, whatever-you-want-to-call-it theory, weighing these factors all makes sense. But, according to traditional theory, each team would individually weigh the cost of giving up a draft pick equally across all QO-attached free agents. Example time: Team X puts the cost of losing its first round pick at $8M. Absent the qualifying offer, Team X values Max Scherzer at six years, $150M and Ervin Santana at two years, $25M. Taking the cost of losing a first round pick into account, Team X should value Scherzer at 6 years, $142M and Santana at 2 years, $17M. Cool, makes sense. Alas, mental accounting, which posits that "people spontaneously generate their own mental accounts, and where we place these boundaries subtly (but profoundly) influences financial decision making," indicates that our traditional theories may be oversimplifying things here. Specifically, it notes that we create topical accounts, in that our decisions are altered by the context of the situation. Whereas most think it absurd to drive 15 minutes down the road to another car dealership to save $75 on a $25,000 car, many will stand in line for an hour in the middle of the night to save that same $75 on a $250 smart phone. Question: What does this have to do with QO-attached free agents? Answer: Given the use of topical accounts, we could hypothesize that if GMs categorize Scherzer as an impact player and Santana as a role player—and are less willing to give up a draft pick to get a mere role player—that teams might be either (i) undervaluing the cost of the QO when valuing top free agents (saving $75 on the car) and (ii) overvaluing the cost of the QO when valuing lower-end free agents (saving $75 on the smart phone).

How the Yankees and other teams are breaking the international signing system. With the recent signing of 16-year-old Colombian outfielder Bryan Emery, the New York Yankees completed a Shermanesque raid of Baseball America's international top prospects list, nabbing a staggering 10 out of the top 30 (and four of the top 10!) players available for the 2014-2015 signing period. And they did so while setting ablaze what's left of Major League Baseball's international spending rules, a system that was implemented when the CBA was redesigned in 2012 in part, however clumsily, to curb international spending and promote competitive balance. Emery is, like most young international prospects, more project than finished product, with an expected big-league arrival time around the midpoint of Giancarlo's Stanton's 13-year contract extension, and that's if everything goes right. As Ben Badler describes, "there's breakout potential given the swing and tool package, but it may take him time for his game skills to catch up." More interesting than Emery, who was apparently targeted for the Padres prior to Josh Byrnes' dismissal as general manager in June, is the Yankees' international strategy in general, which essentially boils down to "sign everyone." It's a strategy New York has used in major-league free agency a time or two, but one they've generally neglected in the international realm, perhaps because major investments in young foreign talent take time to pay dividends, something that hasn't always fit the Yankees' win-now-at-all-costs blueprint. *** Part of the goal of the 2012-2016 CBA was to limit spending on amateur players, with soft spending caps instituted in both the Rule 4 amateur draft and the international amateur market. While most general managers, scouts, and baseball executives (and anyone else with a say in the matter) opposed the spending restrictions, team owners generally welcomed the prospect of writing smaller checks to unproven talent. The players' union, for all of its strength, is historically flimsy when the bargaining rights of non-union players are concerned. Under the current rules, teams are assigned international signing bonus pools based on records in the previous season. In the 2014-2015 signing period, for instance, the international bonus pools range from just over $5 million (Houston Astros) on the high end to $1.87 million (St. Louis Cardinals) on the low end. Each team receives four slot values ranging from No. 1 to No. 120 plus a $700,000 base, allowing clubs to trade bonus pool dollars for other players or slot values. The Cubs and Braves, for example, recently completed a trade that netted the Braves an additional $800,000 in international bonus pool flexibility. November 4, 2014 6:00 am
Starting in November, we accept a different sort of journalism from our baseball writers. Should we? Matthew Trueblood writes about baseball at Armside Run. You can reach him by email or on Twitter at @Arm_Side_Run. There's a great essay by Bart Giamatti, written just after the end of the 1977 season, called "The Green Fields of the Mind." It's both laconic and flowing, hopeful and somber. It perfectly captures a certain moment in the life cycle of a baseball fan, and it's full of the warmth, pensiveness, and realism fans need in order to get through the winter in good spirits. It belongs to another generation. We no longer bemoan the absence of baseball all winter, the way we might have in 1977. Free agency was a new and ill-established phenomenon then; it's now a winter-long event unto itself. The winter trade market is livelier, although fewer total trades are made because of all those free agents. Baseball no longer abandons us; it just turns uglier. The rhythm of the offseason is much more jagged than that of the season. The stories we read are less and less focused on the game itself as the winter drags on. It all becomes about who's going where, and when, and for whom. There's a whole new set of jargon one must learn in order to follow the Hot Stove maneuvering. It lacks any of the charm of "painting the black" or "worm burner," though. There's no imagery in it, no blood flowing to it. During the offseason, reading about baseball is all about trying to parse the intentionally opaque language reporters use to describe their (invariably) anonymous sources on the latest rumor. Anonymous. That's the key word. It isn't necessarily an evil word, for a reporter, but it sure is a vexing one. In all arenas of American journalism, anonymous sourcing is "much more universal than it was in the Sixties," according to Dan Okrent, but the Society of Professional Journalists still takes caution and reticence as its official approach to the use of unnamed sources. The director of the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting went a step further in a recent lecture, openly decrying the practice, and in particular, its proliferation in places where it feels unneeded.

One last look at the decision to hold Alex Gordon, from every angle. A single play in the 2014 postseason captivated the baseball world: Alex Gordon's three-quarters trip around the bases as the Giants' outfield botched Gordon's line-drive single in the last inning of the World Series. And how could it not? Game Seven, two outs in the bottom of the ninth, down by one, and Gordon—the Royals' best hitter—facing the suddenly untouchable Madison Bumgarner with a ring on the line. Nate Silver, immediately after the play ended, tweeted the following: October 9, 2014 8:28 am
It's that time of year: St. Louis in the postseason, its fans in the spotlight, the rest of the country unhappy. We let a Cardinals fan defend the Best Fans In Baseball. Brian Gunn grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and for years ran a Cardinals' fan blog called Redbird Nation. A former guest contributor to sites like The Hardball Times and Baseball Analysts, he now works as a screenwriter in Los Angeles. We around here like him a lot, and we like his writing a lot, which is why we are letting him do the one thing the Internet generally does not abide: Stick up for Cardinals fans. *** When I was growing up in St. Louis I'd sometimes be hanging out with my grandma, and the city of Dallas would come up in passing. Like we'd hear someone mention the Dallas Cowboys, or J.R. Ewing would be on TV, or we'd see some news clip about something that happened in Dallas. And every time my grandma would seethe with anger and mutter through her teeth: "Ooo, I hate Dallas!" If you asked her why, she'd reply, matter-of-factly, "'Cause they killed Kennedy."

Aaron Judge has long arms. Hitters with long arms have swing-and-miss issues. Do two sentences make a destiny? Few things scare scouts off a hitter more than high strikeout totals. We're trained to look past the numbers and to see just the player, rather than be swayed by, for example, gaudy numbers in an extreme hitting environment or against inferior competition—or the reverse. But high strikeout totals are one number that can set off scouts' alarms. Even the most successful minor-league hitters can, and usually will, struggle when they get to the majors if they have extreme swing-and-miss issues. As George Springer showed this year, a hitter with extreme strikeout tendencies can still be productive; that production might just come with a painfully low batting average. A few weeks ago, I talked about how predetermined biases about a player can affect the evaluation process, especially with prospects for whom expectations play a large part. In the case of Yankees outfield prospect Aaron Judge, however, even if we can strip away all of the background information, forget about his success in college and forget that he was selected in the Yankees in the first round, we can't ignore that he is a tremendously large human being. I mean, he's just massive. We know certain things that are generally pretty true about tall hitters. They typically hit for more power than their shorter counterparts, and at the same time, they generally swing and miss more. Part of that is due to the aforementioned propensity for power (as powerful swings tend to bring whiffs), but part is due to physics. Taller hitters have longer arms, and long arms make for long swings. The longer a swing, the more holes in it. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

What makes a moment slow-motionable? What makes a moment made for soft focus and sepia? What will make you cry this month? It's complicated. Throughout the playoffs, sportswritin' fella Miles Wray will be writing for us about the production of postseason baseball. What Miles takes that vague phrase to mean will be as much of a surprise to me as it will be to you. Here's his first piece. Allow me to propose a new term for the baseball lexicon: Octoberness. Noun. Used in a sentence: "Derek Jeter joyously dogpiling with Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Bernie Williams sure is peak Octoberness. Octoberness, along with all of playoff baseball, is something just slightly separate from regular baseball; not necessarily better or worse so much as easier to recall, easier to retell, easier to manipulate. Regular baseball is feeling your arms sunburn as the losing manager slowly strolls out to pull another reliever in an 8-2 game. Octoberness is David Ortiz launching a ball over the Monstah at midnight, his breath misting in the air as he rounds the bases. Regular baseball is Aramis Ramirez. Octoberness is David Freese. September 23, 2014 6:00 am
What are we talking about when we talk about disappointment? "(A box score) doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election. It just tells what kind of baseball player you were on that particular day." –Branch Rickey If only it were still that simple. Back when Rickey was making personnel decisions for major-league organizations, and those last three traits were actually factors in how people were judged, it was a lot easier to evaluate a ballplayer without knowing too much about him. But with phones and tablets now as essential to the scouting toolbox as a stopwatch, with three different prospect rankings appearing on players' Baseball-Reference pages, with signing bonuses public (and publicy debated), with the conversation about some players' draft stock now rivaling the lifespan and intrigue of a presidential primary, that's no longer the case. Colin Moran is not a bad baseball player. The University of North Carolina doesn't recruit bad baseball players. Bad baseball players don't get popped sixth overall in the major-league draft. And bad baseball players don't hit .296 between High- and Double-A, as Moran did in 2014, his first full year among the professional ranks. Yet to hear many evaluators talk—to hear me at certain points during this season—you might think Moran is just terrible. Throughout a season of sitting behind home plate, I saw no player inspire more head shakes, shoulder shrugs and eye rolling than Moran. "How was this guy the sixth-best amateur player in the country last year," I heard from more than one scout. I wasn't terribly kind in my initial write-up of Moran, saying "I came away feeling very underwhelmed with the player."

Alternative mince pies
This is both lighter than the traditional kind and so much faster to make if you're short of time – but as with traditional mince pies you'll need to provide small plates and napkins to catch the crumbs.
Makes 24
Ingredients |
6 feuilles de brick |
350g luxury mincemeat |
125g ground almonds |
1 tbsp icing sugar |
Oven temperatures and Conversions |

Equipment |
There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe. |
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. You'll also need two 12-hole mini-muffin tins, lightly greased with butter. First of all lay a piece of pastry on a clean, dry chopping-board then cut it into four equal wedges and put a dessertspoon of ground almonds into the centre of each one. Top that with a dessertspoon of mincemeat. Now gather up the edges of one to form the shape of a money-bag, and press it into one of the muffin tins so that all the sharp edges stand proud. Do the same with the rest of the pastry and filling, then bake them in the oven on the centre shelf for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. After that transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve them warm, dusted with icing sugar, or if you want to bake them in advance, you can re-heat them (same temperature for five minutes). These are great served with mulled wine or as a dessert, in which case serve three per person, with rum sauce or maybe some vanilla ice-cream.

It's a situation too many Android users are intimately familiar with. You get a shiny new phone, and you love it. Then the days turn to weeks, the weeks to months, and suddenly a new version of your phone is released. Oh sure, at first you think it will be fine. The new phone is faster and thinner, but you like your smartphone. Then the updates dry up like a puddle in the unforgiving desert sun, and your phone slides slowly into complete obsolescence.
If you've already made the decision to give someone your money for the Galaxy Note 3, Verizon is more than happy to take it. You can now put down $299.99 to pre-order the Note 3 on a two-year contract, a whopping $699.99 for an unsubsidized phone, or reserve a no-money-down phone on Verizon's Edge upgrade plan.
Verizon will also be selling the Galaxy Gear smartwatch directly. You can reserve one along with your Galaxy Note 3 for $599.98 (the same price as a $300 Gear and an on-contract Note 3).
Update: AT&T's LG G2 will go on sale on Friday, September 13th for $199.99 on contract, or $27 a month via the AT&T Next plan. The carrier will be accepting online sales on September 6th, tomorrow.
Now that most of the big guns have showed off their latest smartphones at IFA, you've got a pretty good idea of what's in store for the fall hardware parade. If you've decided on LG's G2 flagship, you won't have to wait very long on Verizon or T-Mobile.
Update: Verizon has updated the page with a pre-order date: September 6th (Friday) at 9AM Eastern Standard Time. There's still no word on a price or release date for either device.
Samsung just got through announcing the shiny new Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, but Verizon isn't wasting any time getting its customers excited. The American carrier has already put up a preview page, complete with some typical marketing copy and a placeholder spot for the pre-order.
After 14 years together, Verizon and Vodafone are calling it quits. Verizon will buy out Vodafone's 45% stake in Verizon Wireless to gain full control of the company. The two wireless giants have agreed to a deal valued at $130 billion, which includes $58.9 billion in cash, $60.2 billion in Verizon stock, and $11 billion in additional cash from smaller deals. This confirms rumors that began surfacing late last week.
If you've been anxiously waiting for the chance to order up a Verizon Moto X, now is the time! The Moto X order page just went live on Verizon's website. If you want one as soon as possible, you'll have to buy online – Verizon won't have the device in stores for a few weeks.
The Verizon Moto X is only available in black and white at this time. Also, there is only a 16GB storage option.
The date has been rumored for a while, but now it's official. Verizon has announced via its official Twitter account that the Moto X is hitting virtual shelves on August 29th. The retail launch will come a few weeks later.
Ready to #MeetMotoX with Verizon #4G LTE? Available online 8/29 & in stores in the coming weeks. $199.99 on contract pic.twitter.com/LyFZjvYVYE
— Verizon Wireless (@VZWnews) August 26, 2013
This is the same Moto X you can buy right now in AT&T stores, but locked to Verizon's network.
Those of us who've managed to hang on to Verizon unlimited data after the tiered plans started showing up are not going to give it up lightly. We buy unsubsidized phones at ridiculous prices to stay secure in the knowledge that we can gobble as many gigabytes as we want for $30 a month. This does not please Verizon: unlimited data is not conducive to profits, and unsubsidized customers are more likely to bolt.
HTC fans who prefer Verizon (or who have no choice), your long wait is over. After months of rumors and teases, the HTC One flagship is finally available on Verizon, the last of the four major American carriers to get the phone. It turned up on the Verizon web store early this morning right on schedule for $199.99 on-contract, or $599.99 if you want it "free" and clear.
Verizon's One is identical to those on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint, except for the obvious CDMA and LTE radio bands.

The early snow has made us really fall behind in our winterization measures here at the ranch. We wanted to get the electric and water line to the back pasture down before the ground froze and it would have been a lot harder to get done without the efforts of Little Mike and Miss Kathy. Blessed Be.
We are also trying to get a shelter built for the team in the back and are way behind on this construction project. Right now they are living in a shrinkwrap shanty and not very happy about their substandard conditions. But thanks to the assistance of Cowboy Carlo, we got most all the trusses ready to go up this week. Again Blessed Be!
This morning when I was feeding hay Time Bandit walked out a ways and just stood quietly watching the snow come down across his domain. The cows and little bulls were all eating but Bandit stood off there alone, Head held way high and just watching the weather. I looked out to see what he was looking at, and it was just the silent, snowy landscape fading away to the far tree line. You could hear the heavy wet snow falling but nothing else.
I watched that big bull's breath cloud out, slow, rhythmic puffs. I looked at what he was looking and and I matched my breathing to his. And I was thankful for having the opportunity to just stop for a few minutes and enjoy this land and these gorgeous animals.
I am not young. I begin to sense my time is passing. I am grateful for this life and for how ever many more days I get to live here, this way.

Welcome to Tucker's Christmas Mart, the store where you purchase gifts that seem like a good idea at the time but end up on the junk pile by the time New Year's Day arrives.
Basketball fans knew a lot about former Ohio State center Greg Oden when he made the jump to the NBA in 2007. They knew he was going to be the Portland Trail Blazers' top pick in the draft that year. They knew he was one of the best collegiate players at the time. And they knew he had a chance to be a once-in-a-generation player in the pros. But there was also chatter that he could one day be one of the biggest disappointments in league history.
WASHINGTON -- Things sure do change fast around here. One week it's Rick Perry, the next it's Herman Cain. Now it's ... Newt Gingrich?
When somebody complains about how politicians are a bunch of corrupt, lazy, no-account bums, Rep. Barney Frank has been known to reply with a wry grin: "Y'know, the public is no bargain, either."
In 1989 Robert J. Stets and Harvey S. Teal completed and published "South Carolina Postal History and Illustrated Catalog of Postmarks, 1760-1860." Included in this work were six different postmarks and 14 different rate markings used by Camden postmasters during antebellum times. An illustration of them accompanies this article.
As a reporter, there are times when your editor comes to you with a story assignment that -- you can't help it -- makes you cringe. I'm not a golf fan. I don't play, I rarely watch and I certainly had no interest a number of years ago in following a couple of guys in their 80s and their grandsons around a golf course. It just wasn't my thing.
Looking for a real-life story that will top any soap opera?
WASHINGTON -- When the Democratic National Committee circulates an ad attacking Mitt Romney even before the Iowa caucuses -- and long before his presidential nomination is clear -- one can be fairly certain that Romney is considered the greatest threat to a second Obama term.
Giving thanks. Thankfulness. Gratitude. All words that often come to mind during this bountiful season of thanksgiving. Impeccable timing, wouldn't you say? This time of giving thanks leads us right to the season of giving (gifts); the season of giving and receiving and more receiving for some. So, just as I am offering thanks for the gifts I have in my life -- family and friends, food and football -- among many, I catch a glimpse of several headlines reading "Black Friday shopper collapses while shopping and almost goes unnoticed as other shoppers walk over his body to hunt for bargain ...
I don't know whose idea it was to send First Lady Michelle Obama to a NASCAR race. But the reaction offers a timely lesson in political correctness, a regime that used to be known simply as good manners.
When the presidential debates between George W. Bush and Al Gore were held in October 2000, the 9/11 attacks were less than a year away. Guess how many times "al Qaeda" or "Osama bin Laden" came up in those debates? Not once.
It was quite a turnaround for Roger Federer at Sunday's season-ending tour championships in London. Despite missing out on winning any grand slam titles this year, the Swiss tennis star proved he still has something left in the tank by finishing up the year winning what most tennis fans consider the sport's "fifth major."
WASHINGTON -- Another debate, another episode of "The Dating Game." Will the winner be contestant Number One, Two ... Eight?
WASHINGTON -- As the GOP candidates have been thrashing it out in debates that seem to occur every couple of hours or so, one almost misses the iconic wink that enraged or beguiled the nation a political season ago.
An old joke says that a camel is a horse designed by committee. That's more than I can say for the congressional "supercommittee." It was supposed to come up with a proposal to cut the deficit. It didn't even produce a camel. Just a lot of the stuff horses and camels leave behind.
WASHINGTON -- When Democrats were looking for evidence of a Republican war on women, they overlooked Exhibit A -- Sarah Palin.
The gliders landed in the Boykin fields and pastures and the German POWs worked in Lugoff and Boykin, while a Lugoff native and a Camden businessman partnered together to raise millions of dollars for the war effort.
"Someone needs to go to jail."
OK, so I'm actually writing this on Friday, but you're reading it Monday, so that's why it's random thoughts for a Monday morning.
It happened the other day. It's funny how things so simple can remind us of things so meaningful, of those sweets that are tucked inside our hearts and unknowingly treasured.
While I was taking a finance class as part of my doctoral program in Virginia in the early 1990s, one of the topics we discussed was a lawsuit that had been filed in South Carolina, now called the Abbeville case, which challenged South Carolina's structure for funding public education. Life takes funny turns. Here I am 21 years later in South Carolina when the case is finally settled.
You've probably heard of Uber, the ride-sharing service taking the world's cities by storm.
Last year, government scientists tell us, was the hottest year on record.
Last week, I wrote about some of the many cultural and recreational opportunities we have here in Camden and Kershaw County. It's impressive we have so many offerings and they are thanks to the vision, effort and hard work of those involved, be it the Fine Arts Center, the Kershaw County Parks and Recreation Department, the equine industry and so many more.
How would you like to be called dung-on-a-twig? There certainly are worse things in life, but certainly much better things as well. Dung-on-a-twig is one of the root meanings for mistletoe, which grows on trees. This common name comes from two parts of Anglo-Saxon speech. "Mistel" a common word for dung, and "tang" the word for twig, combine to form the word mistletoe or "dung on a twig." This name became prevalent as it was noticed that mistletoe would appear where many birds had landed on branches and deposited their excrement, nice. This puts a whole new context on the ...
