Caleb Johnson, 8, of Snohomish waits for his turn to throw the first pitch at an Everett AquaSox game.
Joe Dyer / The Herald
Caleb Johnson, 8; his grandparents, Debbie Wood and Jon Thurman; his little brother, Brayden, 6; and his mother, Annie Thurman, walk to Everett Memorial Stadium to get Caleb ready to throw the ceremonial first pitch at an Everett AquaSox game.
In one of his brief moments of lucidity, he found a way to "mouth" a message to his mom: "My last game is tomorrow."
"Baseball is almost everything to Caleb," his mom, Annie Thurman, said. "He couldn't speak. I don't understand how he even knew about his last game."
Since he was a toddler, Caleb has had problems battling colds. "If Caleb gets anything, it goes to croup," she said.
His most recent problem began in much the same way: A common cold triggering what at first was a little cough.
Croup, a viral infection, can cause the windpipe to constrict, making it hard to breathe and triggering its signature deep, barking cough.
"Within a day, he could barely breathe," his mom said.
On the evening of June 13, she told him to get into the car; they were heading to the emergency room at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
Along the way, his breathing became even more labored. "As I'm speeding down the road he said, 'Mom, you've got to hurry. Mom, you've got to hurry, please!' "
Hospital staff rushed Caleb to a treatment room. Then they grabbed his mom. "You've got to come now!" they told her. She ran to be with him.
His mom told them she thought it was his usual reaction to croup. "They said, 'I don't think you know what's going on.' " His airway was completely closed.
"They had to put a tube down his throat," she said. "The tube was for an infant. They could barely get that in there."
Caleb was taken by ambulance to Children's early the next morning.
Cases such as Caleb's are caused when a viral respiratory infection causes the vocal cords to swell. "The swelling becomes so pronounced, there's no airway," said Dr. Michelle Terry, a hospitalist at Children's.
"If all goes well, then over a period of a day or two or three, the swelling goes down."
By unhappy fortune, Caleb was hospitalized on the eve of the pinnacle event of the Little League season.
The next day, his team, the Rookie White Sox, was playing its last scheduled game, followed by a team party and awarding of trophies.
On June 16, his third day in the hospital, Caleb's breathing tube was finally removed. One of the first things he talked about was missing his last game.
His mom, though, had unexpected news. Someone besides Caleb and his mom had noticed his absence.
His coach, Ty Hale, had an idea. "We wanted to do something special for him," he explained.
He talked to Jesse Podoll, one of the coaches of another Little League team, the Rookie Reds. "Hey, do you want to have another baseball game?" Hale asked.
Podoll, whose twin sons have played against Caleb since T-ball, quickly agreed.
"Caleb was most upset he was letting his team down," Podoll said. "He's got a big heart and is a good kid."
They planned a makeup "final" game and a barbecue for June 24.
Caleb was discharged from the hospital on June 17. It only took about two days after coming home for Caleb to be back to his normal self, "bouncing off the walls," his mom said.
He was able to attend his final two days of second-grade classes at Snohomish's Central Primary School.
Being discharged from the hospital, attending school, all those events, though important, were just preliminaries to the makeup game the following week.
The box score tells just part of the story. Caleb had three hits and just missed hitting a home run by a fraction of an inch, his mom said.
In the final inning, with the game knotted at 10-10, the Reds erupted for five runs to win it. "They tried their hardest and had fun and that's all that matters," Caleb's mom said.
Hale and Podoll had one final surprise for the 8-year-old.
Podoll's team, the Reds, is sponsored by the Everett AquaSox. He helped arrange for Caleb to be among a group of people throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at the team's Aug. 5 game.
Caleb couldn't believe every Little Leaguer's dream was about to come true, and wanted to be prepared. Every day he woke up telling him mom, "We've got to practice."
Caleb arrived at last Sunday's game plenty early, a cap on his head and a mitt at his side.
AquaSox staff gave him a ball to go warm up.
He found a large patch of grass south of the concession stands where he could play catch with his mom.
It was pretty obvious after a couple of throws that mom and son have played their share of baseball.
"He's got a cannon," said his grandfather, Jon Thurman, who was tossing a baseball with Caleb's younger brother, Brayden, 6.
Ten minutes later, three generations of Caleb's family returned to the front row of the third-base line bleachers as minor league ballplayers walked by, their cleats clacking on the asphalt leading to the grass turf.
Caleb had to wait his turn to throw out the ceremonial pitch.
A businessman threw a ball that bounced on its way to the plate. A boy representing the Camano library delivered a smooth, accurate toss. A tiny girl representing the Lynnwood library was lifted up by her dad and carried to within a few feet of her intended target.
Then it was Caleb's turn. He marched 38 steps to the designated spot in the middle of the diamond where he would let it fly.
His throw appeared to sail right over the plate. Yet Caleb wouldn't allow emotion to taint his judgment. He said he would have called it a ball had he been the umpire.
"That's exactly him," Podoll said. "He's the pro's pro."

Spring Break Cruises
Matt Stroshane
From family time to adult retreats, there are a variety of cruise options available from March to April that allow travelers to embrace or escape the adolescent revelry during the annual scholastic recess. Cut through the cruising clutter with our recommendations for the best spring break cruises.
Family Cruises
With students out of school for a week or longer, the Spring Break is a prime time for family vacations. That means more children and teenagers will be at sea than usual, and they will have plenty of peers and other families to interact with onboard. Cruise lines are always seeking to improve their recreational programs and venues for kids, tweens, teens and families.
Not far behind -- and often for a lot less money -- are Disney's competitors. Each has partnered up with outside entertainment franchises to offer their own family-friendly experiences.
Carnival Cruise Lines already hosts Hasbro game shows on some ships, and starting in 2014, its ships will begin to feature Dr. Seuss activities with Seuss at Sea. Kids can meet Nickelodeon favorites such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer onboard select Norwegian Cruise Line ships. Also, on an increasing number of Royal Caribbean International vessels is the DreamWorks Experience with film screenings and characters.
Adults-Only Choices
If you're a single adult or couple, don't let families scare you away from taking a cruise during Spring Break. Some Cruise lines continue to secure areas onboard exclusively for adults to escape. Even the family-oriented Disney Cruise Line, for instance, offers stellar adults-only venues throughout its ships, and a growing trend is for outdoor deck areas set aside for those over 18, like Carnival Cruise Lines' fantastic and complimentary Serenity Retreat.
The Best of Both Worlds
Between standard and luxury, premium category cruise lines like Holland America Line and Celebrity Cruises and their more generic kids programs might not be the first to come to mind for family cruising, but they do offer superior quality to the delight of discerning adults. It also just so happens that these lines' newest television partnerships have tuned in to bridge the age gap, which appeals to variety of cruisers.
Now all you have to worry about is deciding which ports of call you want to visit during your Spring Break cruise.

Sprengel pump
The Sprengel pump is a vacuum pump invented by Hanover-born chemist Hermann Sprengel in 1865 while he was working in London.[2] The pump created the highest vacuum achievable at that time.
The system used drops of mercury falling through a small-bore capillary tube to trap air from the system to be evacuated.[3] The falling mercury drops compressed the air to atmospheric pressure which was released when the stream reached a container at the bottom of the tube. As the pressure dropped, the cushioning effect of trapped air between the droplets diminished, so a hammering or knocking sound could be heard, accompanied by flashes of light within the evacuated vessel.
The speed, simplicity and efficiency of the Sprengel pump made it a popular device with experimenters. Sprengel's earliest model could evacuate a half litre vessel in 20 minutes.[4] The device was later found capable of reducing the pressure to less than 1 mPa (9.87 x10-9 atm).[5]
William Crookes used the pumps in series in his studies of electric discharges. William Ramsay used them to isolate the noble gases, and Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison used them to evacuate their new carbon filament lamps. The Sprengel pump was the key tool which made it possible in 1879 to sufficiently exhaust the air from a light bulb so a carbon filament incandescent electric light bulb lasted long enough to be commercially practical.[6] Sprengel himself moved on to investigating explosives and was eventually elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.

- ^ As Sprengel himself explained -- Sprengel (1865), page 17 -- his vacuum pump was a modification of the "trompe" (or "trombe"), which had been known in Europe at least since the sixteenth century. In a trompe, water falls from a reservoir through a pipe. The pipe's upper end is closed except for a set of small-diameter tubes, each of which is open to the air at one end and which dips under the water at its other end. As the water falls, it entrains air from the tubes. The water carries the air to the bottom of the pipe, where the air collects in a reservoir at high pressure. The trompe was used to produce a constant stream of air for smelting and metal working, among other uses. Sprengel merely connected a tube to the pipe's upper end in order to use the flow of liquid to evacuate a vessel. See: Basic principle of a trompe.

- "Is it an SUV? Is it a muscle car? Is it serious military hardware for the oligarch market? It's all of the above with six wheels and a bulletproof shell (if you pay for the extras). No dictator or business leader should be seen without it."
- ―Warstock Cache & Carry description.
The Benefactor Dubsta 6x6 is a 4-door SUT featured in the I'm Not a Hipster Update update for Grand Theft Auto V. It is a 6-wheeled variant of the Dubsta.
The Dubsta 6x6 closely resembles the 6x6 variant of the Mercedes-Benz G63. The vehicle may also draw some inspirations from the Mercedes-Benz G Class models modified by the aftermarket tuning company Brabus.
In contrast to the stock Dubsta, the 6x6 comes equipped with a large skid plate at the front. The stock wheel design for the 6x6 also differs from that of the standard Dubsta.
Just like the G63 6x6, the Dubsta 6x6 has a truck bed along with an extended chassis to accommodate the extra rear axle. Like the real-life counterpart, the Dubsta 6x6 comes with load bed roll bars as standard (albeit a smaller group). The truck also has a higher ground clearance to make way for the bigger off-road purpose tyres.
As expected from a large 6-wheeled truck, the Dubsta 6x6 is exceptionally heavy, however it is a very stable vehicle. It is powered by a large V12 engine coupled to a 6-speed transmission, which is capable of powering the vehicle up steep slopes with relative ease. Its top speed and acceleration are quite impressive (being superior to all Off-Road classed vehicles), but handling leaves much to be desired, as it has a large turning radius due to its long wheelbase. Braking is also sub par, with upgrades doing little to improve it. Durability is excellent, as it is able to withstand many head-on collisions before the engine fails. The 6x6 can easily push smaller cars off the road and it can withstand large amounts of gunfire. Bulletproof tires are highly recommended as for its handling not be hindered by gunfire from its large, exposed tires.

- Available in every protagonist's garage after installing the I'm Not a Hipster update in single player(XB360/PS3).
- Can be bought from Warstock Cache & Carry for $249,000(XB1/PS4).
GTA Online
- Once the update is installed it can be purchased for $249,000 from Warstock Cache & Carry after reaching rank 100 in Grand Theft Auto Online.
- It is the first DLC vehicle available from Warstock Cache & Carry.
- This is the third SUT to appear in the series, the first being the Cartel Cruiser and the second being the Cavalcade FXT.
- The Dubsta 6x6 is the only store-able vehicle that must be unlocked (by ranking up) in GTA Online before it can be purchased.
- As a direct variant of the original Dubsta, they share most of the accessories at Los Santos Customs. The only omissions is its rear spare tire, side steps, snorkel option and exhaust modifications.
- It shares the rim design with the Merryweather Mesa and the Sandking XL.
- The Dubsta 6x6 is one of two civilian vehicles (aside from industrial trucks) in the series to have six wheels in total, the other being the Splitz-6 ATV.
- A minor visual glitch is present on the Dubsta 6x6. If players riding in the bed aim their gun or turn their torsos a certain way, their bodies will clip through the rollbars as if they weren't there.
- Despite being roughly the same size of a Sandking, it can be washed at car washes throughout the city.
- The Dubsta 6x6 has similarities to the Bravado Bison, in that players may ride in the cargo area of the vehicle. The only difference between the two is the Bison's lack of bodywork modifications.
- As with its real life equivalent, the Dubsta 6x6 retains the same engine used in the regular Dubsta.
- The Dubsta 6X6 can withstand a great amount of water depth; it can go as deep as its grille badge before the engine cuts off.
- The interior of the Dubsta 6x6 in the enhanced version is shared with the Cavalcade.
- When you view your Online garage, if you own a Dubsta 6x6, the car display is exactly the same as in-game. Visible modifications can be seen on the 6x6, like the addition of a spare tire on the hood (If purchased, it will show). Its the only Offroad vehicle in the game that features it's very own unique vehicle display.

New little mermaid ride....having big problems?
Ok, so this maybe just because its a new ride, teething problems etc.....but just mentioning incase anybody knows......
so just got back from 2 weeks at WDW, we done the magic kingdom on our first day, after going straight to enchanted tales with belle we then walked onto little mermaid with no queue. nice ride.......definately a good addition. we came out and was going to do it straight again but this time the queue was building up so we changed our mind. anyways for the next 2 weeks everytime we went back the ride was closed. multiple times the cast members said the ride would be open in the afternoon..........but we never saw it open again after that first ride. anyone know what was happening? |
Think a couple of others on recent trips have mentioned this too. Could be technical. It was only briefly stopped once when I was there as they were having problems with the lap bars.
Hopefully it won't become the new splash mountain |
To me (and we rode it twice in a week), it seems to have a really short period of time for you to get in the ride vehicle and sit down. There is not much of a space before you actually start the ride. We were there 1-27-13 to 2-1-13.
Was there the day before MLK and it was down for most of the day - never got to ride it and was the one new attraction at MK we were looking forward to.....
hope the issues are worked out by our next trip...my 3yr old is in love with Ursula(and all the other witches to be honest)
When we were there in December, shortly after the Grand Opening, we had the same issue. It was down as much as it was up. It was crowded enough in New Fantasyland without having everyone who SHOULD have been in line for LM wandering that small space.
I know one problem is Ariel's hair keeps falling off in one of the segments, and no I am not kidding.
So, it's not just the old rides going down?
Here now and it is closed. They have a sign up that it will open at 1.
I wonder if the one in California is having the same problems?
I rode it at DCA and I thought it was kind of disappointing. It does load quick. |

"Love this recipe! I have a picky eater at my house and he loved it too! I changed things a little... I grilled all the veggies (used red, green and yellow bell peppers) added some grilled corn on the cob, skipped the potatoes and added black beans and Mexican rice. I also added a sour cream and salsa mixture (1/2 of each mixed together). Yummy!..."

Cooties are negatively charged particles. They are not the same as germs, or else they would not have different names. If you get too close to a cootie source you may be sucked into a cootie force field. Therefore stay away from all cootie sources i.e. boys.

I picked up a few packets of "Dark-Munich-Beer (Strong) Vierka-Yeast" yesterday at my LHBS. I hadn't heard of it before, but it was cheap ($1.40), and I thought it might be something interesting to try. I figured a quick search would reveal some ideas. Unfortunately, a search of the forums reveals nothing on Vierka yeast at all except for a mead yeast reference, and even Google has very little for beer yeast by Vierka (other than listing a "Dark Munich Lager" that ought not be fermented below 55*F, so I assume this is the one I have). I throw the question out there: anyone used this yeast? What did you brew, can you share the recipe? And is this yeast actually for ales, or lagers? What's the optimal fermentation temp?
bumpity bump bump...
30 views and nothing? No one has used Vierka Dark Munich yeast?
I've seen a thread or two on Vierka dry lager yeast on here before. I don't recall any bad reports. I do recall being able to find their handling/pitching instructions on the internet, but it was in German. Since the yeast is from a German company, that is why it might be difficult to find on google. Try vierka.de and look for Untergärige Bierhefe... use Google to translate. There are a few of us on here always on the lookout for good dry lager yeast. Keep us posted on the flavor profile of your beer from this yeast.
Here's the back of the packet in full:
If it were me, I'd treat it like any dry lager yeast regardless of what the directions state. I.e., if it is a 10-12 gram packet, I'd use 2 packets per ~5 gallons... rehydrated by pitching it into 10 times it's own weight of water (1 ml of water = 1 gram, so 22 grams (two 11-gram packets) would be pitched in 220 ml water) at ~73°F, and then cooled to fermentation temps before pitching. I'd ferment at or slightly below 50°F (pitched at that temp too), then lagered near freezing for ~7 days for every 8 points of gravity (so, if OG = 1.048, lager for 6 weeks).
Last night I took 4 gallons of the second-runnings of a stout I brewed, gave it a 90-minute boil, 1/2 oz of Chinook at 60mins and 1/2 oz of Tettnang at 10min, then pitched a packet of the Munich Dry Lager yeast (rehydrated at 73*F per menschmaschine's suggestion). I got 3.5gal of boiled wort. I forgot to take a hydro reading, so I'll of course never be able to reproduce this precise recipe. I let the carboy sit at room temperature overnight, and now it's in my fermentation fridge at ~48*F. We'll see how it comes out.
Just an update on this experiment with the Vierka Dry Munich. The beer I made turned out horrible, the first beer I've had to dump (out of 15 batches). It had no body, and the yeast didn't drop out of suspension, even after an extended cold crash. Of course, if it was a lager yeast, then the likelihood of cold crashing making a difference was pretty low, and perhaps I should've tried polyclar or isinglass, but given the awfulness of the beer itself, I didn't see the point. Plus, it was just over 3 gallons of second runnings, so it's not like I was wasting a bunch of quality beer to start. Anyhow, the jury is still out on the Vierka. I'll have to try again with a simple, known recipe and report back.
khiddy - I wonder, did you happen to keep any of your batch? I'm using at least what I think is the same yeast for a doppelbock. Took a reading today after racking to secondary and after 3 weeks it hardly fermented at all, though I know it was bubbling. I'm bringing it to room temp for a while to get the gravity down. I ask if you kept any because I came across this link here:http://pc.blogspot.com/2009_08_30_archive.html Ctrl+F "Vierka Munich" and have a read. Good beer takes time, great beer takes patience I guess.
For what it's worth, last night I did a minimash to make about a liter of yeast starter, and pitched a packet of this Vierka dry yeast. Twelve hours later (at about 60F) there was an inch of krausen on the beer, and it smells quite good. I'm going to use it to inoculate a ten gallon batch of aussie draft. So far my experience with this yeast has been positive, but the proof is in the glass.

First the good news... Woo hoo, the first trailer of DICE's brand new Battlefield title has finally emerged from cover confirming that one of the best multiplayer experiences is indeed getting a full sequel in 2011. The bad news? There's barely anything else of interest in this sneak-peek trailer.
What did you think? I mean, apart from the fact that for a game this big the trailer barely gives anything away in the measly 42 seconds or so that it runs for?
Take a trip to our sister site, CVG, as they've managed to find some more details on Battlefield 3. Amongst other things there's the reveal of a few locations where you'll be taking the fight, including Paris, Tehran and bloody hell, not again, New York. Plus the announcement of the Frostbite 2 engine which promises even more immersion than ever.
We're properly excited about Battlefield 3, especially for the multiplayer side of things seeing as Call of Duty is becoming rather stale and predictable. The choppers, planes and masses of ground vehicles set it apart from the regular FPS affairs.
So what do you want to see from this sequel? Let us know in the comments field below. We'll have more news on Battlefield 3 soon.

the Must-Read:
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic tale of decadence and depravity is enjoying a renaissance this spring. Re-read the glittering tragedy, reissued by Vintage Classics with a deco sleeve designed by Tiffany & Co. The perfect precursor for Baz Luhrmann's highly anticipated remake, starring Carey Mulligan as the ephemeral Daisy and Leonardo DiCaprio as the fallen hero.
The Forever Piece:
A classic tote
As a rule of thumb, a timeless tote should possess the following: a distinct yet demure shape and color; exquisite leather and sleek, subtle hardware. This season, Jil Sander's white trapeze bag has it all, as well as discreet pockets that allow for easy organization. This has life, long after spring is over.

To my left a rainbow even started forming. So many things were were going on I needed 4 cameras and 4 clones of me to get it all haha. What had me really focused was this ship out at sea. The way the light was hitting it, was just perfect. I knew right as I took it, it woudl make a perfect black & white. So here it is! I later found out this ship was the ARC Gloria, a Colombian Navy training ship, a three-masted sailing vessel and is the pride of Colombia's Navy and was in Hawaii for a three-day stay. Glad I was there to get it! I originally only rented a water housing from Hawaii Photo Rental but ended up getting a 2x extender for my 70-200mm. It certainly came in handy, more then housing surprisingly! This is one shot. Canon 70-200mm f/4 L (298mm with extender) f/14 1/250 second ISO 160

Kenya's central bank will probably keep its key lending rate at a record high for a fifth consecutive month as it struggles to meet an inflation target.
The Monetary Policy Committee, led by central bank Governor Njuguna Ndung'u, will leave the policy rate at 18 percent today, according to five of the seven economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The others expected a reduction of 1 percentage point. The Nairobi-based bank will publish its decision in an e-mailed statement.
Inflation slowed to 13.1 percent in April, the lowest level in almost a year, as the impact of last year's drought eased and the central bank boosted interest rates six times. The bank is targeting inflation of 9 percent by June. In neighboring Uganda, the central bank yesterday left its benchmark rate unchanged at 21 percent for a second month.
"The central bank has made it clear its target is for single-digit inflation and they will likely hold that rate to try and reach it," Robert Gatobu, a fixed-income dealer with Nairobi-based Bank of Africa Ltd., said in a phone interview yesterday.
Rising oil prices are fanning inflationary pressure in East Africa's biggest economy, reducing policy makers' scope to lower interest rates. Persian Gulf Murban crude, the fuel imported for refining in Kenya, climbed 8.1 percent to $120.89 per barrel this year, prompting the government to increase gasoline costs.
Rate Cut Pressure
Ndung'u has so far rejected demands for lower interest rates. Prime Minister Raila Odinga last month added his voice to calls from businesses and consumers to reduce borrowing costs. Some lawmakers had pushed to cap commercial bank lending rates though the bid failed in Parliament on April 19.
"The longer the rate stays up high, the harder the landing the economy will be in for," Yvonne Mhango, an economist at Renaissance Capital in Johannesburg, said in a phone interview yesterday. "Credit growth is already slowing, so we can see the impact the high interest rate is having on economic activity."
Borrowing by the consumers and businesses eased to 15.6 percent in March from 16.7 percent in the previous month, according to the central bank. The government said on April 17 slower global growth may undermine its target of 5.2 percent economic expansion in 2012.
High interest rates in Kenya have supported the currency, which gained 21 percent against the dollar since the beginning of October to 83.50 as of 6:30 p.m. in Nairobi yesterday.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Lukashenko orders halt in import of some agricultural machinery
President Alexander Lukashenko has demanded that Belarus stop importing
agricultural machinery that it can pr oduce itself.
"Purchase of imported machinery has to stop. These antics with imported
machinery should be stopped," Lukashenko said during a working trip to the
Brest region over the weekend.
Firstly, imported agricultural machinery is expensive, and secondly "they
will rip you off for the supply of spare parts," he said. "Spare parts for
imported agricultural machinery are never supplied on time, whereas time
is of the essence during a harvest campaign."
Belarusian combine harvesters are not inferior to their foreign analogs
and spare parts for them are supplied within the shortest possible period
of time, the president said.
"We need to buy domestic ones - it means speed, fast rate (of harvesting)
and someone you can hold responsible. And how would you hold Americans
responsible?" the president said.
During his trip Lukashenko also spoke about developing rural settlements.
There is no need to build new, small agricultural towns and thus
concentrate rural populations in one town, he said.
"No need to build agro-towns, we need to polish and maintain our
villages," Lukashenko said.
"Maybe, businessmen will come over and build, raise villages," which will
not require big financial injections, he said.
Belarus, Syria, Venezuela to select joint cooperation projects
Belarus, Syria and Venezuela will select projects to be implemented under
trilateral cooperation, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told
journalists in Minsk on Monday after talks with Syrian leader Bashar
"New proposals have emerged. (Venezuelan President) Hugo Chavez suggested
selecting trilateral projects during my and your visit to Venezuela, to be
implemented jointly by Venezuela, Belarus and Syria," Lukashenko said.
"The foreign ministries are organizing this work and the three presidents
will meet in Damascu s soon to confirm these trilateral projects," he
"Similarly, good relations are being maintained between Belarus and Qatar,
and Syria and Qatar. Therefore, we will find projects interesting for the
three countries and implement them in the near future," the Belarusian
president added.
Saakashvili says crime down in Georgia
Crime levels have dropped significantly in Georgia, the country's
president announced.
"While the number of prisons in Georgia has quadrupled over the past six
years, crime levels have dropped by the same factor," Mikheil Saakashvili
said at a meeting with senior officials from the Penitentiary Ministry on
"Our motto, "Zero tolerance towards crime," is proving to be effective.
Today we do not have to fear for our children, cars being stolen, street
robberies and thefts," he said.
Georgia now has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe, he sai d.
"I would much more like to spend money on building hospitals,
universities, roads, fountains, but we have yet to complete a European-
style prison to clear our society from crime," the Georgian president
Tbilisi does not expect positive results from upcoming Geneva talks
The Georgian Foreign Ministry doubts that any positive changes will seen
as a result of the upcoming round of talks on stability and security in
the Caucasus. The talks involve representatives of Georgia, the United
States, the European Union and the United Nations.
"In the negative atmosphere that Russia is creating in the course of the
Geneva talks it is hard to speak of achieving a positive result," head of
the Georgian delegation, Deputy Foreign Minister Giga Bokeria told the
press on Monday before his departure for Geneva.
He said that Tbilisi welcomes the continuation of the Geneva talks and the
involvement of the Abkhaz and South Ossetian sides though during the past
two weeks their representatives said they would refuse to join the talks
until Georgia starts considering an agreement on the nonuse of force with
Earlier Bokeria publicly stated several times that the Georgian side would
not under any circumstances sign such an agreement with what he described
as puppet regimes in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as this would mean
Georgia's actual recognition of the independence of its breakaway regions.
Nearly 95% of Kazakhstan residents to speak Kazakh by 2020, Ministry of
Minister of Culture Mukhtar Kul- Muhammed believes that the state language
development program for 2011- 2020 will raise the share of the population
speaking the Kazakh language to 95%.
"If we meet the target we will achieve very solid results by 2020: the
share of Kazakhstan's residents speaking the Kazakh language will rise
from 60% to 95%. (...) It does not mean we all will be speaking fluently,
but that's our ultimate goal," the Minister said presenting the language
program on Monday to the Cabinet.
However, the minister said, the share of Russian-speaking citizens by 2020
will increase slightly, from the current 89% to 90%. "The share of
Kazakhstan's residents speaking English will be about 20%, an increase
from the current 5.6%," he said.
The proposed state program is aimed at promoting a widespread use of state
language as the main factor of the national unity.
According to the Minister, the language-related problems, among them a
disparity of language skills of various social groups, lack of the
communicative use of the language and deteriorating language-speaking
culture, may foment social tension in the next decade, if they are not
properly addressed.
The Minister said that at present there are 940 nursery schools, 3,811
secondary schools teaching in the Kazakh language and 101 language
training ce nters. Out of 2,750 media outlets operating in Kazakhstan, 68%
fully or in part use Kazakh, 67% of all state officials documents are
published in the Kazakh language.
Prime Minister Karim Masimov assigned the government to adopt the language
development program before September.
Kazakhstan has over 16.2 million citizens of over 130 nationalities.
Kazakh is the state language, while Russian is the official language used
alongside the state language by state management bodies.
OSCE police sent to Kyrgyzstan will be unarmed - OSCE official
An Organization for Security and Co- operation in Europe official said the
OSCE understands the concerns of the Kyrgyz public regarding a police
group that is to be sent there, but the decision to send the police group
to the country has already been made.
OSCE Deputy Spokesperson Frane Maroevic said in a statement that members
of the police consultative group sent to Kyrgyzstan will not be armed and
will not have executive police powers.
The statement says the policemen who will be sent to Kyrgyzstan will be
working closely with the territorial divisions of the Kyrgyz Interior
Ministry on restoring public trust, especially in relations between
different communities.
The decision to send a police consultative group to Kyrgyzstan was made by
the OSCE Permanent Council, which is composed of representatives of all 56
OSCE countries, in Vienna on July 22, the statement says.
Fifty-two policemen will be sent to Osh and Jalal-Abad, southern
Kyrgyzstan, to monitor the situation in the region and provide
consultations for law enforcement officials involved in protecting law and
order there. The group is expected to arrive in the republic in mid-
In the meantime, people in Kyrgyzstan are protesting the sending of the
OSCE police group, fearing it could be followed by the sending of a police
force to the country. At the same time, Kyr gyz President Rosa Otunbayeva
said she has no intention of giving up a political decision to bring a
police force to southern Kyrgyzstan
Ties between Moldova, Russia "an imitation of normal relations" - ex-
defense minister
Moldova's former Defense Minister Valeriu Pasat opposes joining NATO and
thinks that ties with Russia should be improved.
"I am definitely against Moldova's membership of NATO," Pasat said in an
interview with the Gagauz newspaper Eni Ay.
Pasat also said that Moldova-Russia relations cannot be described as
"There is only an imitation of such relations," he said.
Pasat, who recently became the leader of the Humanist Party, said he did
not think a settlement on the Transdniestria conflict would come about in
the near future.
Only after "a normal government" is put in place in Moldova can one hope
for a settlement of the Transdniestrian problem, fo r normal exports of
Moldovan wine to Russia and for a lower price for Russian gas.
Pasat was the first Moldovan politician to have said that direct
presidential elections would give him a chance to run for president.
He was arrested in 2005 and sentenced to ten years in prison on charges of
abuse of office and inflicting damage on the state while exporting
Moldovan fighter jets and other military hardware. He claimed that his
prosecution was "a political order from the Communist authorities and
personally President Vladimir Voronin."
He was freed after spending more than two years in prison. All criminal
charges brought against him were dropped in 2010 following a change in
Russian president signs law on preventing financing of terrorism
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed a law strengthening the
federal law "On the prevention of money laundering and the financing of
terrorism" and amen ding the Russian Code of Administrative Violations,
the presidential press service said.
The new law prohibits organizations from notifying their clients and
others of measures taken to prevent money laundering and the financing of
In addition, organizations carrying out transactions with money and other
property are now required to pay more attention to transactions involving
people registered or located in states not fulfilling recommendations by
the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) or using accounts in banks
registered in those states.
The federal law "On the prevention of money laundering and the financing
of terrorism" applies to divisions of organizations located outside of the
Russian Federation.
The law was passed by the State Duma on July 9 and approved by the
Federation Council on July 14.
Medvedev signs bill commemorating end of WWII
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed a federal bill, " Regarding
changes to Article 1 (1) of the Federal Law, "Russia's days of military
glory and commemorative dates," the president's press office said.
The bill passed by the State Duma on July 7 and approved by the Federation
Council on July 14 establishes a new commemorative date in Russia,
September 2, the day when World War II ended in 1945.
On September 2, 1945, Japan signed an act of unconditional surrender. The
document was also signed by representatives of the allied nations,
including the Soviet Union. The day marked the end of World War II.
September 2 will be the date marking the end of World War II in Russia and
will rightly mark the anniversary of the end of the war in our country,
said Federation Council speaker Sergei Mironov.
In an interview with Interfax on Monday Mironov said he was satisfied to
see the new Russian date on the calendar. "It attests to our dignified and
caring attitude toward our own past. It was on th is day in 1945 that the
act of Japan's unconditional surrender was signed and adopted by the
representatives from the Soviet Union and all allied nations," Mironov
Now historical justice has been done because with Japan's surrender World
War II was over and the Soviet troo ps put a final full stop to the bloody
and hard war against fascism. "We have nothing to be ashamed of and there
is no need for us to be diplomatically silent on the victory over Japan in
1945, which is a bright page in the history of our people. This is how one
should perceive this date," Mironov said.
On September 2, I will be in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on a working visit to mark
this memorable day for Russia together with the veterans who fought
against the Kwantung army.
Putin, Medvedev agreed to spend several vacation days together
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will traditionally spend his
vacation in Russia and could be joined by Russian President Dm itry
Medvedev, the head of government told Russian journalists.
"I spend my vacation in Russia, there are some Russian regions that I like
and some that I have not been to. Together with Dmitry Anatolyevich
(Medvedev) we have agreed to spend several vacation days together," Putin
"We are now choosing the region where to go to," he said.
Putin sings patriotic song with Russian spies deported from U.S.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is currently visiting Ukraine,
has met with the Russian intelligence agents deported from the United
"I met with them. We talked about life," Putin told journalists on
Asked whether they really sang karaoke songs during the meeting, Putin
said: "Yes, we did, though not at karaoke, we sang "Where does Homeland
begin from?" accompanied by live music."
Asked about the future fate of the spies, the prime minister said, "They
will be working."
"I am sure they will work at worthy places. I am sure they will have an
interesting and bright life," the prime minister said.
Putin also confirmed that Anna Chapman was among the agents.
"There is not much I comment on here, I already said that this is the
result of a betrayal, and betrayers always end up very sadly, normally,
from drinking, drugs or under the fence. Just recently somebody ended his
existence this way, but what for is unclear," Putin said.
The prime minister confirmed he knows all betrayers by their names. Asked
whether he is going to punish them, he said, "This is not a correct
question." "It cannot be resolved at a press conference, they live by
their own laws, and these laws are well known to all secret services."
The life of Russian intelligence agents is "very hard," Putin said.
"Just imagine: first, you need to learn the l anguage to the mother tongue
level, think and speak the language, and do what is prescribed by the
mission in the interests of your home country for many, many years,
without relying on the diplomatic cover and subjecting to the daily risk
yourself and your relatives unaware of who you are and who you are working
for," Putin said.
"It is not my task to assess their work, it is up to specialists, their
bosses, and the end consumers of the information of this kind, the supreme
commander-in-chief - the Russian President," the prime minister said.
Putin denies media war between Russia, Belarus
There is no media war between Moscow and Minsk, said Russian Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin.
"I do not see any media war. I barely read any periodicals and I barely
watch this sort of electronic press on a daily basis," Putin told Russian
journalists after talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych at this
Crimean residence on Satur day.
There are no signs of war, the prime minister said. "I see no signs of any
war or hostilities whatsoever, no wonder I am curious if there are any
casualties," Putin said.
"The press often strongly reacts to certain things, about me, about the
current Russian president and other our politicians. We often see quite
controversial material, and what is it, a war? Unfortunately, our
colleagues often believe that whenever this sort of material appears, it
must have been initiated somehow. But this is not so," he said.
"The best reaction to such materials if someone thinks they are unfair is
to respond in the media space as well," Putin said.
"They can lay out their argument to the authors of the material that they
believe is unfair, and I do not even understand what the problem is
about," he added.
"Tell me what these materials are about and I will comment," said Putin,
when told by journalis ts that Russian television showed a report with
compromising information about Belarusian leaders.
"Is it easy to make a deal with Belarusian leader? Very easy, so easy.
When it comes to money or energy supplies, for some reason everyone wants
to get something from Russia for free, so when they don't they get
annoyed," he said.
"We must take into account our partners' lawful interests. I believe that
this is how we operate: we have agreed with Belarusian colleagues, signed
a contract in 2007 and we will not ask anything beyond this contract, all
we are asking for is to comply with the agreements we have signed, nothing
else," Putin said.
"But when we are told: let us buy less this year and twice as much next
year, and we agree, and next year we are told, let's do it as last year,
but even so we are trying to find a compromise. We are trying to soften
transition to market conditions," he said.
"Everyone wants to b uy cheap and sell dear, this is normal, there is
nothing to escalate here. But if an agreement is signed, it has to be
complied with," the prime minister said.
Election campaign never stops - Putin
Russian Prime Minister and leader of the United Russia Party Vladimir
Putin has said that election campaign never stops and that of all campaign
technologies he prefers personal communication with citizens.
"The election campaign of the next electoral cycle started when the
previous ended. We are in regular contact (with voters) and I can assure
you that this is absolutely enough," Putin told Russian journalists after
talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on Saturday.
"In my view, election and pre-election technologies are not very
efficient. Initially, I was skeptic about the mechanism of community
liaison offices in regions, and even the mechanism of me liaising as a
party leader, but now I can see that I have, for insta nce, a lot of mail
that I read sometimes, and I deal with specific issues of specific
citizens, and it is working," he added.
At the same time, "we should seek additional forms of direct communication
(with citizens) and work out more efficient measures of responding to
their problems," Putin said.
Putin who does not have his party membership ID card said the lack of it
does not cause any problem when it comes to addressing the challenges
facing the United Russia Party. "It is not restricting the party's
influence in any way. We have quite an efficient mechanism of cooperating
within the party in general, with the party leadership and we hold
quarterly conferences," Putin said.
Yanukovych, Putin discuss Russia-Ukraine cooperation plans
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin and on Saturday discussed plans for cooperation between their
"Ukraine a nd Russia should combine efforts to raise the level of the
economies of our countries," Yanukovych said at a meeting with Putin at a
presidential residence in Foros, Crimea region, where the Ukrainian leader
is spending his vacation.
"This is impossible to do without creating practical mechanisms. So I
would like us to see what decisions we will make in the fall of this year.
As we have arranged, we will hold a meeting of our interstate commission,"
Yanukovych said.
Putin also attended the 14th International Bike Show near the Crimean port
of Sevastopol before visiting Yanukovych at Foros.
"I want to pass greetings and words of gratitude to you from bikers, they
realize how difficult it was (to organize the show), that it meant extra
concerns for the government - thousands from all over Europe have gathered
there," Putin said.
"I am very pleased to be here on the eve of Russian Navy Day, I am aware
that you are going to visit Sevastopol tomorrow, that is great, and it is
very good that our navy servicemen, both Ukrainian and Russian, will be
together that day. Thank you very much for your support," Putin said.
"In regards to the business agenda, that is something worth talking about,
and despite that fact that in 2009 our trade turnover plummeted, it has
reached its pre-crisis level by now, there has been progress in very many
ways," he said.
"It is a particular source of satisfaction that there is increasing
cooperation in the high-tech sectors - aircraft manufacturing and space,"
Putin said.
"We are completing pretty good work on the (Antonov) An-70 (aircraft).
After a lot of talks with the former government and former president (of
Ukraine), we are now getting close to the point where we will resume our
joint work on the An-148, on engines for other models of planes and
helicopters. Our helicopter fleet largely gets fitted with engine s from
Ukraine," he said.
The numerous Economic problems in Ukrainian-Russian relations will be
solved, Putin said after at a meeting with Ukrainian President.
"Russian-Ukrainian trade is back to pre-crisis volumes, but there are
still many problems. As for (our) current plans, they are mostly related
to trade. We are currently conducting a number of anti-dumping inquiries,
&#8743 Ukraine still has some unfinished investigations, though we
agreed not to (conduct such investigations)," Putin said.
Putin said the possible introduction of restrictions on the supplies of
Russian glass to Ukraine is currently being considered. "Ukraine is asking
to raise and not to lower the amount of pipes purchased by our oil and gas
companies," he said.
"There are certain discrepancies between our enterprises and our
ministries, but they are temporary: we are searching for mutually
beneficial solutions," he said.
The Russian premier added that they didn't discuss the merger of the
Russian gas giant Gazprom and Ukraine's national gas company Naftogaz
Ukrainy with the Ukrainian president. These issues are still at an early
stage, Putin said.
"We were discussing the issues of our relations in energy complex, in
pipeline transport development, the development of Ukraine's gas
transportation system, and the possible participation of Russia in these
projects," the premier added.
Presidential administration refuses to saywhich companies Yanukovych
owns,according to mass media
The Presidential Administration has refused to say which companies
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych owns.
The Ukrainska Pravda online newspaper reported on Friday that First Deputy
Presidential Administration Head Olena Lukash replied on its inquiry in a
written form that this information was confidential.

containing confidential information and the information regarding the
personal life of citizens are not to be made public on an information
inquiry," reads a letter by Lukash.
She also said that "the collection, storage, use and publication of
confidential information, including information about the personal life of
individuals, without their agreement, are prohibited. "

notionalamount of UAH 6,500 in authorized capitals of enterprises and
financial establishments. The Ukrainska Pravda wanted to know which
enterprises Yanukovych had founded.

within a month. The inquiry was registered in the presidential
administration on June 5 and the reply from Lukash was signed on July 20.

Hyde And Go Tweet

I find the the Tweety version of Mr. Hyde hysterical. Poor Sylvester, who thinks of himself as very smart, never seems to understand what is turning his meal into a monster.

The cacophony of anti-gun rhetoric on these Commentary pages is heating up. After criticizing the National Rifle Association ("Good guys with guns: Good slogan, bad policy," letter, Feb. 17) Harvey Waxman says the answer is "Background checks." repeated three times for emphasis.
Background checks are of limited usefulness under any circumstances because they only verify that the purchaser is clean at that point in time. A number of things could happen subsequent to the purchase which makes the background check moot.
In a Feb. 18 letter, great-grandmother Sandy Cerrito excoriates the NRA ("Stopping the NRA will help end killings") and asks everyone to picture a dear child "riddled with bullets." She apparently has fallen for the anti-gun lobby's portrayal of the NRA as an evil monster.
Ms. Cerrito asserts, "No person's rights will be infringed upon if we have gun control, and the ones fighting gun controls know this." We already have thousands of gun-control laws on the books. So many, in fact, that former Atty. Gen. Janet Reno said if they were enforced the courts would be severely backlogged with cases.
Connecticut had an assault weapons ban in place and was very active in putting the names of mentally disturbed individuals in the national background check database and this did not prevent the Newtown massacre from occurring.
"To infringe" means to encroach upon or violate and legitimate gun owners do believe that more gun control laws will infringe upon a right guaranteed under the federal and Rhode Island constitutions.
