More Thoughts on Zimmerman (Who Isn't Jewish)
What we say about Trayvon Martin's killer, and what it says about us
My post last week on the likely non-Jewishness of George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin's likely killer, clearly struck a chord. A profile that ran over the weekend confirmed that he isn't: no matter the surname, and whether or not (as many news reports had it) he is Latino, the Zimmermans are faithful, zealous Catholics. The article also noted that Zimmerman's ambiguously ethnic appearance as well as that surname lent themselves to precisely such speculation: "His father is white, neighbors say. His mother is Latina. And his family is eager to point out that some of his relatives are black," the Washington Post reported. "There may be no box to check for George Zimmerman, no tidy way to categorize, define, and sort the 28-year-old man whose pull of a trigger on a darkened Florida street is forcing America to once again confront its fraught relationship with race and identity."
I think the smartest comment on my post came from "Marc" (and, no, it wasn't me). "Wow—I think this whole conversation says a lot about us," he said. "Of course, the knee-jerk reaction to his name by us Jews is understandable. You never want to see 'one of the tribe' do something so egregious." Or as a friend of mine put it to me when I first published the article, "This"—that is, this need to know (and deny) that Zimmerman is one of us—"is how we know we're still a minority."
Of course, there are more dangerous ways to be a minority. You could, for example, be a black kid wearing a hoodie.
Who Is George Zimmerman? [WP]

How is he not Jewish exactly? Because he's Catholic? Does that disqualify him? Or because he might be Latino? What's the criteria being employed here…?
A racially precise word for George Zimmerman would be "mestizo." But describing him as that is probably politically incorrect since I suppose it carries pejorative overtones.
What nobody's mentioned is that under our legal system this guy has the presumption of innocence. It may turn out that he is guilty of the the crime he will eventually be accused of, but that's for a jury to decide. New facts are coming to light that clearly show the case is more complicated than how it has been reported so far.
The presence of an armed neighborhood watch is troubling to me. The police are trained for confrontation; deadly force is the last resource; if a cop is involved in a shooting, he/she is put on restricted duty and is subject to internal affairs investigation. Is that protocol applied to neighborhood watch?
How could GZ not be Latino if his mother is? This "white Hispanic" nonsense is a first. Will we ever see "brown Hispanic"? I doubt it.
And Trayvon wasn't just a black kid in a hoodie, nor the adolescent of his pre-teen photos the media prefers. He was a black 17-year-old standing over 6 feet tall with gold-capped teeth whose Twitter nom de plume was NO_LIMIT_NI**A, in other words, a punk.
The real story is the Rush to Judgment before the facts are known. Since Jews have historically been used as scapegoats, we should be extremely careful not to do it to other people, regardless of whether or not their last name sounds Jewish.
How many times must that demagogue Al Sharpton make false accustions in support of racial hatred before we ignore him. He has lied and promoted racial hatred anti-Semitism in the past. His actions have caused people to die in the past. The real outrage is that this man is taken seriously as a "civil rights" leader and has been given an hour to spew his hatred on MSNBC.
To provide an idea of what people may think of a black male wearing a hoddie, you may want to read:
"Educators' and Non-Educators' Perceptions of Black Males: A Survey" published in the Fall 1995 issue of the Journal of African American Men by Herbert L. Foster, Professor Emeritus, SUNY/Buffalo,
In the end, it does not matter what the race of George Zimmerman is. He took the law into his own hands, stood over a 17 year-old child (yes, child), and shot him in the chest at point-blank range, while this child begged for his life. There never will be any justification for what GZ did.
BTW, Mr. Stanley – even if Treyvon Martin had gold-capped teeth and stood over 6 feet, does this justify his murder? What was this child going to do, fight back with the bag of Skittles and the Arizona Iced Tea he was carrying?
Mr. Zimmerman should have been taken into custody IMMEDIATELY – hair, blood, fiber samples and fingerprints should have been taken, and he should have been interviewed by the police. AND he should have been relieved of the weapon used to kill Treyvon. This is standard police procedure, and law enforcement failed miserably in their duties.
Dick Stanley: Please stop being racist. I know that seems crazy, even hyperbolic in this context, but how can you honestly argue that the shooting of a 17 year old unarmed kid is justifiable because he is, and I quote, "a punk"? And why are you so focused on seeing more recent photos of TM, when we really should be asking for photos confirming these "injuries" sustained by GZ who is apparently in hiding, with the only picture of him after the "beating" being a police shot of him with no visible injuries whatsoever. Maybe if you were less focused on TM being a "punk" and more focused on the facts of the case pointing towards murder, we could all take your comment as something other than an ignorant racial hate speech.
Looking at his face, one can be sure he is not Jewish nor even of Western origin. Not a pleasant-looking lad by all means and his closely-set eyes are filled with evil and hatred. To keep away from such a hostile-looking creature is the wisest thing to do.
911 was done by jews.
jew judges, police chiefs, and policemen
are too many corrupt MADOFFS and ROMAN POLANSKYS.
Most jews are corrupt, ie most corrupt race.
"This"—that is, this need to know (and deny) that Zimmerman is one of us—"is how we know we're still a minority."
Of course, there are more dangerous ways to be a minority. You could, for example, be a black kid wearing a hoodie<<<<<<
Marc Tracy: Really? Read what Mikhail Muhammad of the "New Black Panthers" has to say:
"We investigated and we found out the facts that Trayvon had been assasinated by a wicked, white beast, who today is talking about he's a Hispanic. And so we're not going to go along with that. We don't care 'cause his father's a Jew. He's a no good Jew
This from the organization that wants Zimmerman "dead or alive". You may not think he's a Jew, Jewish law may say he's not Jewish but if his father has Jewish genes this racist group thinks he's a "now good Jew" and wants him "dead or alive".
Aside from the whole sad affair… Most American Jews are unaware that many "Jewish-sounding" last name are actually fairly common among Germans (and German-Americans that did not anglicize their last names). Profession names like "Zimmerman" (carpenter) are one such category (unless it's a uniquely Jewish profession like Schechter/kosher slaughterer).
Similarly, not every "Resnick" (Russian for butcher), "Portnoy" (tailor), … is by definition Jewish, although due to US demographics, the odds that any American with those last names is Jewish become very high.
If Zimmerman is not a racist, as they say, his family is a mix of Spanish, whites and he has black relatives.If he is Jewish or Catholic or other does not matter. The most likely scenario, given all that, is that he made a terrible mistake, first to pursue what he though was a suspect. Should have just left it to the police and simply stayed in his car. He thus has made a series of mistakes. First, a mistake in judgment, second, a mistake in reason and logic and third a mistake in taking proper action. All these have led to a confrontation. The young victim asked: Why are you following me? I am not a young man but I would be very nervous if followed like that. The victim was threatened and God only knows what happened after that, I mean, before the shot was fired.
Man, some of you people on this site are nuts. The Bush racists crap above. Show me one time either Bush was RACIST. You can't. You a loud mouthed liberal who wants the world to give you a life free for nothing. Get off your lazy ass and get a real responsibility in this life. The thug did not beg for his life. Scipiro above is full of BS.
If he was famous for something else then he would be claimed as part of the tribe. Just because his mother is not Jewish does not mean his father is not after all he is a Judge .
Typical Zionist games they know how to play the system in favor of them.
The game is over everyone knows they are racist profile others as lower forms of humans used for tax slaves to support another Nation before the USA and proxies wars causing conflict every way possible.
Ethel Merman wasn't Jewish either. She was born Ethel Agnes Zimmerman; her father was raised in the Dutch Reform Church and her mother was Presbyterian. After her parents married they both joined the Episcopalian congregation at Church of the Redeemer where Ethel was baptized.
There must be hundreds, if not thousands of Zimmermans who aren't Jewish.
why the fuk is you mekkin a big deal ovah the coon nigger – there aint no shawtage – long live muthufuckahs – death to the liberal cunts !
Hi all do something about your GUNLAWS this willcut down a lot of the shootings it is your gunlaws is so why so many get shot take the guns away this will cut it down by 95% you cant buy handguns here in N Z so we dont have this problum here
yours firstname.lastname@example.com
I see upon reading articles online that there is a question as to whether Zimmerman is "a Jew". I assume this question of ethnicity in generalarises because the victim was Black and the perpetrator was not, which evokes reasonable notion of distrust between ethnic and racial groups with the likelihood that one might not unnaturally
tend to view someone of diff. ethnicity as the'other', the 'out-group' but of course
killing is not permitted and surely is an extreme expression of such.
Of course Zimmerman would seem to be a Jewish name like Bob Dylan's.
There was no suggestion that Zimmerman was from a religiously Jewish family nor that he practiced the Jewish religion that I have seen, only that he has A Peruvian Catholic mother and was rasised in the Catholic religion and his father is of ethnic Jewish ancestry and a Judge, but but most articles said the father was retired military. Perhaps the father is a retired military judge.
I am surpised that
there is so much conflicting information about every aspect of the case and the chief thing that catapulted it to national news I think was the odd apparent failure to arest and charge Zimmerman with murder
even though such a charge might be modified in the fullness of time to accomodate results from an investigation and the man I assume could have been let free after being arrested on
the determination of a judge.
Most of what I believe about police procedures is from years of intermitteant TV viewing; on TV, Zimmerman would have been arrested and booked for murder.
I hope I have not been misinformed by TV serial police dramas.
You seem to care more that he is not Jewish –relieved more that he is not one of the tribe – than you do about the horror of the whole incident.
Its not clear to me who the "you" you are addressing is. What exactly is your point?
Paul King: As a matter of fact you are wrong. Jewish descent is defined through the mother.
Only the most liberal Jews would regard someone bad or good, raised Catholic who happened to have a father with Jewish ancestry as Jewish. And of course there are always the antisemites like yourself. And Mikhail Muhammad. Who are so full of hate that they really dont care about facts.
WOW , hope the papers post this well, so people don't have nnother scape goat and give more reason to hate the Jews. As it is people are always looking for reasons to hate them. Maybe the public needs to stop their racist freakouts and just let the court deal with this. And if the Justice system is not capable of this then perhaps people should work on the courts ways instead of wasting their time hating one race or another.
Some askenazie jews are in denial of how many of them are non-practicers to quickly disassociate from a bad act; George's dad is probably that: a non-practicer 'white' jewish guy, hence the last name. True a person that DOES NOT practice the faith is not jewish. this writer needs a serious visit to latin america, start in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico o Panama and get to know the tons of Zimmmermans of askenazie descend down there. Judaism didn't have the same road in Latin America, study Sephardic Jews better. Right now the best example is Cuban-born actor William Levy, he never 'converted' to catholicsm! he simply knew that he was not going to make it as 'jew' in Latin showbiz and his wife is a 'zealous' catholic (mixed marriage) which is pretty normal for most latno-jews askenazie or sephardic. Either you want to accepted or not George Zimmerman has jewish lineage.
I never read in the Torah why Joseph's sons were called 'half jews or non-jews as their mother was an Egiptian princes.
You never want to see 'one of the tribe' do something so egregious."
1. No one is a jew only 'because of the lastname'.
2. I remember reading about Sacha Baron Cohen, he lived with his girlfriend before getting married and he comes from a 'priestly' lastname and by the way or obviously he has a very ' jewish orthodox' relatives so much that they 'pressured' the girl to take 'conversion' classes. She said :
"I will definitely have a Jewish wedding just to be with Sacha. I would do anything – move into any religion – to be united in marriage with him. We have a future together, and religion comes second to love as far as we are concerned. Wikipedia
is Sacha baron cohen a jew?? I don't think so! but money buys everything for some. I know a bunch of the tribe doing more than egragious things!
3. Like it or not Religion or Faith for Jewish People comes first. That is identiy. Even Hitler knew that. Those Nazi guys never spared a jewis soul because they were 'half jew or non-praticers jews, he just murdered all what he could.
Askenazie jews are not the only ones being or living 'fake' judaism or convenience judaism due to circunstances. You really need to visit Spain, Morroco, Turkey, Yemen, Goa in india, etc to have a better picture of the jewish world.
A Germanic surname is not uncommon in a Latino community, esp. in Mexico, Chile, Argentina. Many German immigrants in the 1800's came to the Americas, points west and south, not just to Milwaukee, St.Louis, or Chicago. Unexpected, perhaps, but not uncommon. A prime example would be found in the heritage of singer Linda Ronstadt.
Whoa there! You are mistaken. In Germany, the suffix "mann" is spelled with two n's whether the person is Jewish or not. My mother's family name was XXXXmann with two n's but when her family came over to the US in 1938 to escape the Nazis after Krystallnacht some of the family members "anglicized" the name by dropping the last "n" and calling themselves "XXXXXman" instead.
Bo, are you stupid. "A black kid wearing a hoodie". I hope Jews wake the fuck up and realize the dumb white libs and angry black men they pander to do not care about the holocaust and stop selling out men who were there – when we weren't. I hear minorities cry about persecution – what are you doing without facts? Do you even have a photo of him at 17, this 'kid' ?
Black kids in hoodies are victims and Zimmerman is guilty. When black kids in hoodies do commit crime, I'll come back here to see a gigantic fucking tumbleweed. Stop judging people you don't know and give them the chance to defend themselves.
Marc Tracy:
My post….clearly struck a chord<<<
Judging by the comments here I would say it struck a chord all right. Among antisemites.
Seems to me a lot of them are interested in the the etymology of Zimmerman's name too.
<<<I think the smartest comment on my post came from "Marc" (and, no, it wasn't me). "Wow—I think this whole conversation says a lot about us<<<<
Wow-Doesn't seem so smart to me.
The only thing this conversation says about either of you is about the extent of your denial.
Zimmerman is Jewish according to the BBC. His father is Jewish, but was raised secular. Zimmerman's father married a Latino who was active in community activism, and open borders.
Yeah, ethnic jews never do anything "eregious" in America do they?
The Columbine mass murderers were BOTH ethnic jews who targeted blacks and christians.
This "news" article is insane.
Looks to me like the victim was looking for trouble, and maybe wanted to steal a gun. Made him follow, doubled back and attacked him from behind.
Just the look on his face. he had a chip on his shoulder.
Besides, from a 911 caller, you heard yelling, fighting and alarm before the gun shots.
Where did this kid live? What time was it?
Should he have known it was agated community.
His father is Jewish but who cares? Why is that relevant? Only zionist supremacists would publish an article and say "who isn't Jewish" in it's title.
Madoff was Jewish. Thousands of ponzi schemers and murderers were jewish. Why does their religion matter unless you are a racist and supremacist? You might believe you were chosen by god to be above everyone else but you are not. We are all just humans and descended from monkeys. Wake up!
Jews try to throw people off with that mother descent! —- A Child is the Race/bloodline of the Father!!! (PERIOD). The father is a 'roman' JEW who may have confessed the 'catholic' faith. – Hispanic is NOT a race!! .. Just as American is not a Race. – GZ is JEW!!! – Most JEWS consider themselves 'white'.

Hi, I am a new gardener. I bought a Japanese Wisteria and repotted it about 3 weeks ago (June, Seattle) into a larger container. Immediately after repotting, the leaves started drying and turning yellow. My local garden shop suggested I should use Superthrive. I've been using Superthrive for almost a week now and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Is saving it a lost cause? Any suggestions on what I can try to bring it back? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like it got dried out at some point. Would be a lot easier to manage planted in the ground - except for the rampant growth these tend to produce once established. |

You can only hope that's the case. They are horribly invasive garden thugs. |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Sat, Jun 14, 14 at 23:27
If the plant had lots of roots showing when removed from the original pot, and the whole mass was plunked into a larger container of soil of somewhat different composition and density, any applied water may be coursing through the new soil and going down the sides of the pot. Try to poke around and see if the root area is getting damp. And have a few weeks' more patience, such a large transplant is bound to complain for a while. |
- Posted by mikebotann 8a SE of Seattle (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 15, 14 at 11:42
Was the plant growing inside when you purchased it? It looks as if it might be adjusting to outside sun and previous lack of water. In any case, I doubt you will kill it. It will recover, and if in the ground, ....with a vengeance. Mike |

They are horribly invasive garden thugs. They may be in Mississippi but not here......rampant growth, yes, but that's to be expected from a large vine. They do produce some root shoots when well established and happy but nothing like another vine or two I could name :-)) Not really a great choice of vine for growing in a container or at least for long term container growth. As mentioned, would be much happier in the ground. Just provide a very sturdy support system. |
When I bought the plant it was outside in the nursery. When I repotted, I didn't cover the holes in the pot and had no tray so I remember hearing the water drip down the deck. Maybe that's why it dried up. I am going to give it a little more time as Larry suggested and if it doesn't improve, I'll put it in the ground. I was originally concerned about it getting out of control (even if in Seattle, didn't want to risk it) but sounds like a non-issue. Thanks everyone! |

UPDATED: Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 8:46pm
EL PASO - Today family and friends of a teen killed in a tragic crash said goodbye to him.
They buried 16-year-old John Cervoni after a funeral service at St. Pius Church in the lower valley.
Cervoni and his friend Aaron Carrillo were killed last weekend on Loop 375.
Police say a drunk driver plowed his car into them as they were helping another friend with car trouble. Friends are still trying to grasp the tragedy.
"It's very hard to see that two of my friends have died because of drinking and driving, so it's very hard to understand," said Cesar Garcia, a friend of the boys.
Funeral services were held yesterday for Carrillo. The suspected drunk driver is charged with intoxicated manslaughter.

Listen to our latest Fantasy Baseball Podcast!
The Indians' last playoff appearance was in 2007, but it feels much longer than that.
That's what happens when a rebuilding project shows no clear signs of progress, condemning a team to what should be another 90-loss season ... and another one after that.
The problems begin with the starting rotation. The Indians have wasted so much time developing soft-tossing lefties that they have yet to find anyone who can, you know, get people out. Sure, Fausto Carmona was an All-Star last year -- their only representative, actually -- but at a time when frontline pitching is becoming more and more plentiful across the league, his 1.31 WHIP and 5.3 strikeouts per nine innings don't hold a candle to the competition.
Maybe Justin Masterson can finally take a step forward. Maybe Carlos Carrasco can build off the progress he made late last year. Maybe top prospects Alex White and Drew Pomeranz will coast through the minors and save the day sooner than anyone expected. Maybe.
But even if one or two of those things happen, the Indians will still be a step or two behind the rest of the league.
They do have a little more hope on offense. Five-category stud Shin-Soo Choo and slugging catcher Carlos Santana are both early-rounders in Fantasy. If ex-superstar Grady Sizemore can complete his return from microfracture surgery and regain the form we haven't seen from him since 2008, the Indians will have a halfway respectable middle of the order.
But again, the hope is more in tomorrow than today. It's in prospects like Lonnie Chisenhall, who should eventually bump Jayson Nix from third base, Jason Kipnis, who's doing his best to convert to second base, and Nick Weglarz, whose high walk rate could make him an OPS monster. All three could arrive this year, but none is enough of a surefire, can't-miss prospect to recommend for mixed leagues at this stage of the game.
And so the wait continues.
Breakout ... Carlos Santana, C
Rarely do 150 at-bats carry so much weight for a player, but Santana was so productive at such a position of need that his brief debut last year should give you all the confidence you need to draft him as a high-end option. You know how impressive Buster Posey was last year, beating out Jason Heyward for NL Rookie of the Year honors even though he had two fewer months of production? Well, Santana was matching him stroke for stroke before hurting his knee in August. He actually finished with the higher OPS of the two, and it's not like it was a surprise given his minor-league track record. His unprecedented strike-zone judgment (seriously, who walks more than he strikes out as a rookie, especially among catchers?) should make him a stud even if he doesn't quite hit .300. The fact he's not considered a real risk in Fantasy even coming off knee surgery shows just how much upside he has.
Bust ... Grady Sizemore, OF

Sizemore might be the hardest player to assess in Fantasy this year. He could just as easily be a sleeper as a former first-rounder coming off two injury-plagued seasons, the last one ending in mid-May. But on the tightrope walk between the two extremes, he's leaning the wrong way. Players have had success with microfracture surgery in the NBA, but it's relatively untested in baseball. And for a player whose game depends so much on speed, the knee procedure could be the thread that unravels everything. Even if Sizemore is able to come back strong, even if he plays every day and provides his usual power, he's unlikely to regain his prior form. You can't expect him to steal 30 bases again, and without a significant contribution in that area, his shortcomings, such as his high strikeout rate and suspect batting average, become more pronounced. True, he'll only cost you a middle-round pick, but middle-round production might be the best-case scenario for him.
Sleeper ... Chris Perez, RP
OK, so Perez isn't exactly a nobody in Fantasy. He'll get drafted in every league, in fact. But most Fantasy owners don't seem to grasp just how impressive his breakthrough 2010 season was. From June 28 on, he posted a 0.53 ERA, striking out 37 batters in 34 innings. He allowed less than a hit every two innings during that stretch. A pitcher can't get any more effective than that. So why do Fantasy owners lump him with the David Aardsmas of the world when he's performing on the level of Mariano Rivera? True, he pitches for a bad team, but that hasn't stopped Joakim Soria from earning elite status in Fantasy and accumulating 35-plus saves every year. At a time when so many big-name closers -- from Francisco Rodriguez to Andrew Bailey to Jonathan Broxton -- have so many concerns, Perez is more valuable than anyone gives him credit for. He's a late-rounder who's almost sure to perform like a middle-rounder, if not better.

As the oldest and largest CrossFit gym in New York City, we're able to provide an unmatched depth and breadth of programming – more than 300 classes each week.
Please note that the schedule below is for members who have already completed our pre-requisite Elements Workshop. If you're new to CrossFit NYC, consider taking a free intro class, then sign up for Elements.
Descriptions of the class types are below the schedule. You can also download a PDF schedule for printing or offline reference.
Elements Classes: Elements is a repeating series of six classes that provides a crash-course on the basics of CrossFit. You'll practice perfect form on the movements that make up our workouts, learn how to scale movements appropriately to your own level, and start ramping up your fitness with a CrossFit workout at the end of each class. Members are welcome to repeat Elements classes as many times as they'd like, until they feel ready to head into our regular Beginner WODs.
Beginner WODs: Seven days per week, we also offer WOD classes tailored specifically to members who have recently graduated from Elements. We know that taking on a new challenge (like CrossFit) can be intimidating, so our beginner classes help ease people in. These classes use lighter weights, scaled versions of some of the more difficult movements, and include more time reviewing the basics of safe and efficient technique. More broadly, these classes serve as a friendly transition from Elements to the regular WOD.
All-Levels WODs: At the core of CrossFit NYC's training are All-Levels Workout of the Day classes. Like all of our WODs, these are taught in a small-group setting, and consist of a warm-up, some skill or strength work, a workout, and a cool down or cash-out; coming to three or four WOD classes a week will get you in the best shape of your life, across all aspects of fitness, from strength, power, and endurance, to flexibility, agility, balance, and coordination.
Experienced WODs: After a first year of CrossFit, members typically feel like they've mastered the basics, and are looking for more nuanced instruction, as well as a more competitive workout environment. Our Experienced WODs allow members to go head-to-head without scaling weights and workouts ("as RX'ed"), and help members continue to make real gains in their strength, metabolic capacity and CrossFit skills.
Competition WODS: CrossFit isn't just a great way to work out; it's also a sport, in and of itself. (Each year, you can watch the Reebok CrossFit Games on ESPN, which crowns the fittest man and woman in the world, with a million dollar prize purse.) Our team allows athletes with an interest in serious CrossFit competition to hone the finer points of their game (whether Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, or gymnastics), and to move heavier weights at higher intensities, head to head with other similarly skilled athletes. Our team is open by audition with the supervising coach, Avery Wittkamp.
CrossFit Endurance: CrossFit WODs alone are sufficient to bring athletes to such a high level of fitness that a number of our members have run marathons, for example, with no additional running training outside the WOD. For serious endurance athletes (in sports like running, cycling, swimming and rowing), however, supplementing WODs with specific training helps members go faster, further, with less work, and with less working out. Our CrossFit Endurance classes also focus on improving running, rowing, cycling or swimming technique, to help you become a more biomechanically efficient athlete.
Events: CrossFit classes tend to build new friendships fast, so we also plan a slew of events, to give our members the chance socialize with new friends both inside and outside the gym. Whether a fundraiser workout competition, a rock-climbing trip upstate, or a night of drinks at a nearby bar, we hold events throughout the month that let or members put their fitness to use, or rest and recover, in a way that's social and fun.

I've got to put my two cents in here. Muncie, IN has a pub downtown called the Herot. The place is amazing. It was basically my intoduction to real beer. They've got something like 80 beers on tap and another like 200 bottled beers. I went there every Friday for some time and didn't even scratch the surface. My intro to things like Omegang, Gulden Draak, Skullsplitter, Samiclaus, the list is incredible. No music, no BMC, no meatheads, if anyone is ever in the vacinity, it would not dissapoint.
I work with a guy who's girlfriend went to school down there. He's told me about this place before. Sounds pretty awesome. I'm up in Fort Wayne, so not too far away. I'll have to check it out sometime.
Primary: Secondary: Bottled/Kegged/Conditioning: Orfy's Boddington's clone, Orfy's Old Speckled Hen clone, SN Celebration clone On Deck: Gumballhead clone, German Pilsner Drinking: Old Ale, Bourbon Barrel Wee Heavy, Bourbon Barrel RIS
Sounds great... But no music? Whats a bar without tunes? Seems wrong to me. I don't get thru Indiana like I used to, but next time I'm through those parts i'l ldefinitely try to hit it for a few pints. Never heard of it before.
I have spent many nights and drank many beers at the Herot. None of my buddies go to school there anymore, so it is harder to get down there but I still make a point to stop in every time I am driving through the area. It is by far the best beer bar I have ever been to and I have no idea what it is doing in Muncie. As for the music, on the weekends they have live musicians going and when they don't they have a piano off to the side that patrons often play. In the last year or so they also added a jukebox that requires you to pay to play. But non the less there is usually music coming out of it.
Evansville IN here...Turonis is the only place here in town for anything resembling Homebrew. Good pizza and atmosphere.
how's the mad anthony brewery doing on broadway? i miss that place, especially the pizza...
What about Scotty's? I hear it being advertised on the local Muncie radio station all the time. As a matter of fact I'm getting ready to head over to Muncie to stop at the LHBS. I need to pick up a few supplies, too bad I have to work tonight or I would stop by there....
I'm up in Griffith - about 10 minutes east of 3 Floyds. We have five (going on six) breweries in Lake, Porter and LaPorte County so there is local beer almost everywhere you turn.

Awesome Flavor
I purchased this vanilla for myself but after cooking with it, I had to get some for my daughters for Christmas (it is a little pricey and they are on very limited budgets). Anyway, THEY LOVE IT TOO. It makes the flavor of baked goods richer and buttercream frosting never tasted so good!
I recommend this product. -
baking must
it maybe a bit expensive but it makes a big difference in your baking results.

will purchase again
i have not used a good vanilla such as this in cooking before and having had this I see that I really missed out. I will certainly be back for more of this

I found the identical item in a store for $10.00. I truly felt "ripped off." The product is wonderful, but the price was disappointing after seeing such a difference. Why IS there such a difference????????? I haven't used the tart shells yet.

Best Vanilla
I am very pleased with this vanilla. I notice TV cooks using this bottle and wanted to try it. It is as good as you would imagine. This is not the first time I have purchased this brand. I am just a home cook but I have already used up one bottle and came back for a second.

Randy Wolf Rumors
Odds & Ends: Orioles, Beckett, Brewers, Giants
Saturday night linkage..
- The Orioles are in search of a lefty reliever, writes The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec. The guy the O's really want is Will Ohman, as they extended him a minor league contract offer in late January. Japanese lefty Hisanori Takahashi and Joe Beimel are also options for the club.
- Joe McDonald and Daniel Barbarisi of The Providence Journal take a look at the big decision Boston will face – whether or not to re-sign Josh Beckett. If the BoSox choose not to retain the 29-year-old, they'll have to recognize that his replacement likely won't be found in free agency.
- Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel praises GM Doug Melvin for stocking up on hurlers this offseason. Free agent pickups Randy Wolf and Doug Davis were brought aboard to help support Dave Bush, Jeff Suppan, Manny Parra, and Yovani Gallardo.
- Giants managing general partner Bill Neukom is not sure that the Giants' payroll will reach $100MM as has been originally reported, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco's payroll was $82.6MM to start the 2009 season.

Twins, Mariners Are Atop Washburn's "Wish List"
With the likes of Ben Sheets and Jon Garland now signed, FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi provided an update on Jarrod Washburn, one of the few high-profile arms left on the rapidly-dwindling free agent pitching market. Morosi quotes one source who said that Washburn only wants to play in "a limited number of places," and another source who says he "would be surprised" if the lefty went anywhere besides Minnesota or Seattle.
The Twins have made one attempt to sign Washburn: an offer worth roughly $5MM that was rejected earlier this month. Given Minnesota's signing of Carl Pavano to serve as the veteran anchor of their rotation, Washburn would've been a luxury that the Twins may feel that they can live without.
As for the Mariners, we've heard some whispers that they might be interested in bringing Washburn back to the city where he pitched from 2006 to last year's trade deadline. The M's have already spent a lot of money this offseason, but Washburn might be enticed to return to a familiar situation for a contract akin to the one he turned down from Minnesota. Then again, Washburn is a Scott Boras client, so a bargain could be hard to come by.
Another source tells Morosi that six teams "have inquired" about Washburn. Aside from Minnesota and Seattle, we've heard Washburn linked to such suitors as Milwaukee (who are probably out of the running after signing Randy Wolf and Doug Davis), Kansas City and the Mets. Morosi also points out that the Cubs could join the Washburn sweepstakes in the wake of missing out on Sheets.

Mets, Dodgers In On Pineiro
7:37pm: According to Tim Brown's Twitter feed, "In the face of economic limitations, Dodgers working on a way to sign Joel Pineiro."
7:09pm: According to Ed Price's Twitter feed, the Mets and Joel Pineiro are talking, with the money somewhere around two years, $15MM.
At that price, you'd have to think a deal could get done quickly. The Mets have been interested in Pineiro all offseason, though Pineiro has seemed to be looking for a deal that rivals or exceeds the three-year, $29.75MM contract Randy Wolf signed with the Brewers.
Two years, $15MM is exactly what Jason Marquis signed for earlier this offseason with the Nationals. Despite the concerns over whether Pineiro can repeat his successful 2009 without Dave Duncan, his pitching coach with the Cardinals, the Mets would be taking a worthwhile risk at that price and length.
Pineiro was 15-12 in 2009 with a 3.49 ERA and just 27 walks in 214 innings pitched.

Brewers May Not Be Able To Add Another Starter
The Brewers may be right up against their 2010 payroll limit according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, however GM Doug Melvin is still looking to upgrade his club.
"If we can [add another starter] we'd like to," Melvin said at the conclusion of the Winter Meetings. "We might not be able to. We're always looking to improve the club.
"We're trying to keep flexibility to do things. The worst thing you can do is lose flexibility. We still want to be aggressive but we can step back and look at the landscape, see what takes place with free agents and trades."
McCalvy notes that the club's free agent signings total a $21MM commitment for 2010, plus there's another $37MM or so tied up in players already on their roster. The team has seven players eligible for salary arbitration, and there's about $18MM budgeted for them. If they fill out their roster with players making close to the minimum, it'll push Melvin's club over their $80MM or so projected payroll.
Given Randy Wolf's price tag, the team may not be able to add the second starter they crave. Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com said the Brewers will "almost certainly" sign one of Jon Garland, Doug Davis, or Jarrod Washburn, though they may have to make a move to free up some cash to sign one of them.

Odds & Ends: Tigers, Pineiro, Padres, Giambi
Here's a round-up of a few news items floating around the baseball world tonight….
- MLB.com's Jason Beck reports that Detroit might sit out the bidding for the few remaining closers on the market and instead hope that youngsters Ryan Perry, Daniel Schlereth or a healthy Joel Zumaya are able to pick up some saves.
- Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated reports (via Twitter) that the Mets "have debated" the merits of offering Joel Pineiro a two-year contract, but Pineiro wants a deal akin to the three-year, $29.75MM contract that Randy Wolf signed with Milwaukee.
- Corey Brock of MLB.com reports that the Padres will sign an experienced backup catcher "within a few weeks."
- Dave Cameron of the U.S.S. Mariner blog isn't a big fan of Seattle's trade for Casey Kotchman.
- The apparent lack of interest in free agent Jason Giambi means that there's a greater chance he ends up back in Colorado, reports MLB.com's Thomas Harding.
- With Boston's signing of Adrian Beltre, Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas thinks that the Rangers might have leverage to get a more favorable trade for Mike Lowell, should Texas still be interested.

Discussion: Los Angeles Dodgers
Ever since the news of Frank and Jamie McCourt's divorce proceedings broke last October, Dodgers fans have been wondering (and dreading) if the ownership dispute would impact the team's operations. The first two months of the offseason have been quiet enough in L.A. to make it look like the Dodgers are themselves also still waiting to see how things will play out with the McCourts and have thus been in a holding pattern in regards to next season's payroll.
This isn't to say that Los Angeles hasn't been active. The Dodgers traded Juan Pierre to the White Sox, were involved in the Roy Halladay sweepstakes, tried to acquire Aaron Harang from Cincinnati and signed utilityman Jamey Carroll. But, as Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports pointed out today, the club is playing even-steven with its offseason moves in order to steady the budget. For instance, the Dodgers saved $8MM over the next two seasons by dealing Pierre, and spent $3.85MM of those savings to sign Carroll. Acquiring another notable free agent (such as Rosenthal's example of Joel Pineiro) would require L.A. to make another move to free up the cash to sign the right-hander.
We've already seen a bit of penny-pinching from the team this winter when they didn't offer arbitration to any of their free agents, passing on the chance to acquire compensatory draft picks for Type A free agents Orlando Hudson and Randy Wolf out of fear that Hudson or Wolf might accept the offer. The bright side for Dodgers fans is that the team is at least keeping the payroll stable, rather than shifting into outright cost-cutting mode. Rosenthal notes that there are no plans to deal any of L.A.'s young stars before their arbitration years — trading the likes of Andre Ethier, for example, would be "counter-productive" given Ethier's reasonable arbitration number and Manny Ramirez's slight decline.
This stand-pat strategy will force Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti to be creative in filling the holes on a club that has lost the NLCS to Philadelphia in each of the last two seasons. Rosenthal said that George Sherrill is "a candidate to be traded," but L.A. wouldn't save much money from the deal and getting rid of Sherrill would weaken their bullpen. There is also a need to sign a veteran like Pineiro to anchor the otherwise young starting rotation.

Odds & Ends: Dodgers, Beltre, Morrow
Some Saturday afternoon links..
- The Dodgers should have offered salary arbitration to Randy Wolf and Orlando Hudsonto allow themselves the opportunity to receive draft picks, writes Jon Weisman of the Los Angeles Times. Weisman argues that the worst case scenario of being stuck with one or both players at a slightly inflated price for one season wouldn't have been so bad. It's hard to dispute this point as we have yet to see the Dodgers do much of anything this winter.
- Not only are the Athletics talking to free agent Adrian Beltre, they may be the only serious bidder at the moment, according to an item on ESPN's MLB rumor page. The piece also notes that if Beltre's asking price - believed to be north of $10MM per season – drops into Oakland's price range, the Giants, Cardinals, and Tigers could get in the mix.
- Seattle's poor decisions stunted the development of Brandon Morrow, writes Ryan Divish of The News Tribune. While he never had the same ceiling as Tim Lincecum, who was drafted five spots later in the 2006 draft, things could have worked out differently for Morrow if he were given adequate time to develop in the minors.
- Shi Davidi of the Associated Presspraises new Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos and his plan to rebuild the franchise. Davidi writes that Anthopoulos has the support of ownership in a way that J.P. Ricciardi never did.
- A few free agents left on the market might want to consider lowering their asking price, writes Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. Adam LaRoche seeking $30MM over three years might be the most wishful of the bunch.

Odds & Ends: Glaus, Carroll, Capps, Fossum
Links to kick off the work week….
- Free agent Troy Glaus prefers a full-time infield corner job over a DH role, and has made his medical records available to all 30 teams reports ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.
- Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has Randy Wolf's contract details, courtesy of the AP.
- ESPN's Keith Law provides his take on recent non-tenders Capps, Wang, Ryan Langerhans, Gabe Gross, and Kelly Johnson.
- Jamey Carroll is deciding between multiple two-year offers, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. He notes that the Angels, Dodgers, and A's have shown interest. Perhaps today's Craig Counsell signing will lead to a deal for Carroll.
- Chien-Ming Wang might not sign for months, his agent Alan Nero told ESPN's Buster Olney. Speaking to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cards pitching coach Dave Duncan said Wang would interest him.
- Pirates GM Neal Huntington explained to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette yesterday that Kovacevic's December 8th report of a non-tender threat caused Matt Capps to lose all trade value. As if the possibility couldn't have crossed the minds of Capps' suitors otherwise. But note that Huntington took issue with the leak itself rather than Kovacevic printing it.
- The Blue Jays announced on their official Twitter page that they've agreed to terms with Jose Bautista ($2.4MM) and Dustin McGowan ($500K). McGowan gets a raise of about $80K after missing all of '09 with a shoulder injury. Bautista will receive no raise. Perhaps the Jays had told him that they'd only tender him if he took the same salary.
- Newsday's Ken Davidoff explains that "the whole notion of an 'offer' is overblown," mainly a publicity move.
- Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times wrote about the emergence of Twitter in baseball coverage, and I contributed a few thoughts.
- The Hanshin Tigers inked lefty Casey Fossum to a one-year deal worth $600K, reports Kyodo News. Fossum, 32 in January, pitched at Triple A for three organizations this year, compiling a 3.55 ERA in 129.3 innings.
- NPB Tracker's Patrick Newman reports that pitcher Colby Lewis will return to MLB after a couple of very effective years starting in Japan.

Odds & Ends: Wolf, Stammen, Lackey
Post-Winter Meetings links for Thursday…
- ESPN's Keith Law calls the Astros' signing of Brandon Lyon "hobbling," but likes the Rays impending acquisition of Rafael Soriano. He says the Soriano situation shows that if a team has a borderline call with a Type A free agent, they should offer arbitration.
- ESPN's Buster Olney says Randy Wolf would've re-signed with the Dodgers for a two-year deal in the $14-16MM range.
- Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun says the Blue Jays talked to the Nationals about pitcher Craig Stammen but "he does not appear to be available."
- The Cardinals touched base with Scott Boras before leaving Indianapolis, writes Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Cards still haven't made an offer to Matt Holliday.
- ESPN's Mike Salk heard that John Lackey is the Mariners' top priority.
- The Hanshin Tigers signed reliever Randy Messenger for about $600K, says NPB Tracker's Patrick Newman. Messenger will replace Scott Atchison, who signed with the Red Sox.
- The Big Lead did a Q&A with new Yankee Curtis Granderson.

Odds & Ends: Livan, Cameron, Matsui, Mulder
Time for another round of links…
- The Nats have "some" interest in Livan Hernandez, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson.
- The Red Sox "appear interested" in Mike Cameron, according to Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal.
- We know the Dodgers want pitching for Juan Pierre. Ned Colletti told SIRIUS XM radio that he'd accept a back-of-the-rotation pitcher, according to Diamond Leung.
- Jon Greenberg of ESPN.com takes a look at the influence technology has on the Winter Meetings. Within the article, a Cubs exec calls Tim Dierkes his hero, so it's worth a read for that line alone.
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman says the Curtis Granderson acquisition doesn't mean the Yankees can't bring back Hideki Matsui or Johnny Damon, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
- Mike Scioscia told Lyle Spencer of MLB.com that the Angels would "definitely consider" Hideki Matsui.
- Padres manager Bud Black expects Adrian Gonzalez to return to the Padres in 2010, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the Brewers met with Mark Mulder's representation today. He's also drawing interest from the Royals, according to MLB.com's Dick Kaegel.
- MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports that the Astros only offered LaTroy Hawkins a one-year deal, so he signed with the Brewers.
- The Orioles will meet with Aroldis Chapman's agents, though they remain "a longshot" to acquire the Cuban pitcher, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun.
- MLB.com's Lyle Spencer confirms that the Angels still have interest in Chapman.
- Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports that the Red Sox have not spoken with Justin Duchscherer's agents since they met Sunday night. Apparently 11 teams are interested in Duchscherer.
- Keith Law of ESPN.com says it makes sense for the Yankees to keep bringing Andy Pettitte back on one-year deals. Law doesn't mind the Randy Wolf deal, either.
- There may come a time when the Cardinals have to force Matt Holliday's hand, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Not just throwing, but throwing your Championship Series games. Just had the displeasure of winning my way into my champ series, just to have a guy demand mid, then afk to complain about lag (which everyone was getting). When I asked him to stop afking and at least try, the guy decides to just start bragging about how he's going to throw the game to give me and another player losses in their Series. That's some wicked BS.
The funny thing about this forum, is that there are two sides to it; The one side will tell you to deal with it and move on. The other side, once you show them a reform card, tell you that you deserve to have your game thrown, just because there is a reform card in front of them. This forum is a cesspool of circlejerk and trolls.
Personally, I can't see why you'd possibly tell anyone why you're in your series. They can't see if you are or not, and all it does is encourage trolling by idiots. Also, no idea what the guy on top of me is posting about, it has nothing to do with Pu's original post.

I dunno, I told my team when I was up for my last game in my best of five and everyone was pretty cool about it. Sucks that this happened. Some people don't need a reason to be spiteful jackasses, but they'll take any they can get.
I usually don't tell people if I'm in a Series, but if my team seems polite and nice in champ select, sometimes I'll mention it. In this case, I hadn't even told the jerk that it was my Series, he simply came t the conclusion it was because I was simply trying hard to get him to stop trolling. Another teammate did what I have also done in the past, is when someone is raging, you say "this is my series, can you please try?" Either way, it most certainly doesn't deserve it. Lastly, I have heard many people on these Tribunal forums complain about being suspended for getting bad scores, and whether it is true or not, this has been repeated enough that people believe it and the trolls act accordingly. And, tbh, I know for a fact that the worst LoL players (those who show the least amount of teamwork and the most trolling) are the ones who are the ones who think your score is the sole example of skill.
Sorry to hear that happened to you, man. That sucks. I hope you reported him and maybe Riot will start escalating suspensions for that kind of overt d-baggery. And yeah, it blows my mind how many people still seem to think that playing badly is bannable. I see it in game and I see it in SO MANY tickets, someone is having a bad game and the reported person starts screaming, "ALL REPORT SOANDSO PLS, ENJOY YOUR BAN F****T" -- I used to think they were just blatantly trolling but I see it so much I'm starting to think they really don't understand how the system works. How could Riot possibly make it more clear?
Calys Teneb
I wouldn't mention it until Riot rolls out their Series matchmaking, which they've stated is their top priority.

Senate panel hangs dark cloud over Bush's "Clear Skies" plan
President Bush's bid to rewrite the nation's air-pollution laws ground to a halt yesterday when Republicans were unable to overcome objections that the bill would weaken central pillars of environmental protection.
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — President Bush's bid to rewrite the nation's air-pollution laws ground to a halt in a Senate committee yesterday when Republicans were unable to overcome objections that the bill would weaken central pillars of environmental protection.
The setback in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee dealt a body blow to the administration's self-coined "Clear Skies" plan — which would give power plants, factories and refineries more time to reduce their air pollution. Environmental groups, which viewed the bill as a rollback of safeguards at the behest of industry interests, were ecstatic.
The Environmental Protection Agency will issue new rules today and next week to control the same pollutants targeted by the Bush initiative, but these rules will not change provisions in the 1990 Clean Air Act that would have been revised by "Clear Skies."
Senate Republicans accused Democrats of obstructing effective and common-sense legislation because they did not want to give Bush an important environmental victory.
Democrats, joined by Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt., and Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., said negotiations had been conducted in bad faith, that the initiative's pollution-control targets were too low, and that certain loopholes were irresponsible.
"It's a shame that the U.S. Congress is the last bastion of denial on climate change," Chafee said.
Clean-air proposals
A comparison of major provisions of President Bush's "Clear Skies" proposal and two other plans, one from Sen. Jim Jeffords, I-Vt., and the other from Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del.
Bush plan: No limit on emissions.
Jeffords plan: 2.05 billion-ton cap by 2009.
Carper plan: Power-plant emissions capped at 2006 level for 2009-2012, capped at 2001 level by 2013 and beyond.
Bush plan: 34 tons by 2010 (trading allowed), 15 tons by 2018. Sources could avoid reductions through emission credit trades.
Jeffords plan: 5 tons by 2009, each plant limited to 2.48 grams of mercury per 1,000 megawatt hours, or less as determined by EPA.
Carper plan: 24 tons by 2009, 10 tons by 2013, each unit must cut emissions to 50 percent of the mercury in delivered coal by 2008 and 70 percent of mercury in coal by 2013, or meet an alternative output emission rate. Limited mercury-emission trading and banking allowed.
Bush plan: 4.5 million tons by 2010, 3 million tons by 2018.
Jeffords plan: 2.255 million tons by 2009.
Carper plan: 4.5 million tons by 2009, 3.5 million tons by 2013, 2.25 million tons by 2016.
Bush plan: 2.1 million tons by 2008, 1.7 million tons by 2018.
Jeffords plan: 1.51 million tons by 2009.
Carper plan: 1.87 million tons by 2009, 1.7 million tons by 2013.
Gannett News Service
"This bill has been killed by the environmental extremists who care more about continuing the litigation-friendly status quo and making a political statement about carbon dioxide than they do about reducing air pollution," said Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., the committee chairman.
Jeffords retorted: "This legislation denies plain scientific evidence of human-health damage from toxic air pollution and of global warming from greenhouse-gas emissions."
The committee vote doesn't preclude GOP leaders from scheduling the bill for floor action anyway, but they would have fewer parliamentary tactics available to overcome Democratic objections.
A central disagreement was whether the bill, originally aimed at reducing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury pollution, also should address global warming and carbon-dioxide emissions. The issue cost the Republican majority Chafee's crucial vote, said Sen George Voinovich, R-Ohio.
"Chafee thinks this is the biggest problem facing the world, and the chairman (Inhofe) has a sign in his office saying this is a hoax," Voinovich said as he threw up his hands.
With other Senate business piling up, additional analysis demanded by Democrats likely to take several months to assemble and election-year constraints looming in 2006, Voinovich and Inhofe indicated that the odds were long that "Clear Skies" would return to the agenda soon.
"There is a limited window here," Voinovich said.
In a speech in Ohio yesterday, Bush reiterated his support for the bill, saying the EPA rules were a poor substitute for effective legislation.
Democrats said they would continue to press for changes to "Clear Skies," and Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., suggested that an eventual compromise might come about with less-restrictive controls on carbon. One possibility would involve setting voluntary caps on carbon emissions that would harden into a mandatory cap if industry failed to achieve the voluntary targets, he said.
In a briefing last month, James Connaughton, chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said flatly: "What will never fly is a mandatory cap on carbon."
Connaughton and several Republicans said that overly ambitious measures would increase the price of power, hitting the elderly hard, and would cause polluting industries to simply leave U.S. shores for countries with less demanding standards. Voinovich and Inhofe cited support from some unions and seniors' organizations, along with the vast majority of industry groups.
Democrats marshaled opposition from environmental groups, the attorneys general of 14 states and two bipartisan groups of local environmental officials: the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators and the Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials. William Becker, a spokesman for those organizations, said Inhofe unfairly had targeted the groups for a financial inquiry after they announced their opposition.
Critics of the "Clear Skies" plan said it weakened provisions in existing law that call for companies to install emissions controls in old power plants when those facilities are being upgraded, that allow states to go after cross-border pollution from power plants in neighboring states, and that call for certain specific protections for national parks.
EPA is scheduled to issue a rule next week to control mercury pollution — a controversial measure likely to be taken to court by environmental groups. Advocates are more positive about a second EPA rule, called the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), which will be announced today to control sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. While they say it doesn't go far enough fast enough, environmentalists said the CAIR rule was superior to Bush's legislative initiative.
"Clear Skies was a half step forward and two steps backward," said Conrad Schneider, a spokesman for the environmental coalition, Clear the Air. "The CAIR rule is just a half step forward."
