Eight seconds separate Tigers from playoffs
Eight seconds.
That's how much time was left on the clock when the New Richmond football team saw its hope of reaching the 2008 WIAA State Playoffs snuffed out by the Amery Warriors last Thursday.
New Richmond scored five minutes into Thursday's game and the Tigers led the rest of the night, until the fateful final drive. Amery drove 93 yards in the final three minutes, scoring with eight seconds left on the clock, to beat the Tigers 25-20.

Last week I took my family to the Utah Shakespearean Festival for our annual visit with friends. For those who don't know, the performances and presentation at the festival are first rate (we frequently go to the theater at home in New York City and we have often found the plays at the festival better than those both on and off Broadway). But what is even more impressive to me is that the festival exists because of the vision of a returned missionary fifty years ago. Read more »

Both Reagan and Clinton had rough first terms - and ended up as heroes. I've a feeling Obama will go the same way
When I finally got to interview Bill Clinton in New York last month, I bet him, on air, $100 – to be donated to a charity of the winner's choice, which in my case was Help for Heroes – that Europe would beat America at the Ryder Cup the following weekend.
He readily accepted, and Europe duly won.
Then came the slightly tricky
situation of how to chase up the winnings.
This morning, a personal letter arrived at my CNN offices in an envelope stamped with the seal 'WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON' on the back
I mean, you can hardly just call up a former U.S. president and demand money.
I needn't have worried.
This morning, a personal letter arrived at my CNN offices in an envelope stamped with the seal 'WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON' on the back.
'Dear Piers,' it read.
'Congratulations on the Miracle at Medinah – a truly remarkable comeback
by the European Ryder Cup team.
'You called it right and I'm happy to settle our bet.
'Help for Heroes is doing valuable work with wounded British servicemen and women, and I'm proud to support their efforts.
'All my best to you. Sincerely, Bill.'
Classy guy.
One of the more amusing aspects of my CNN job is the sheer variety of guests I interview on a nightly basis.
This week, for instance, I spent 95
per cent of the time grilling politicians about the American election.
And the other five per cent interrogating a collection of vicious, snarling wild animals. (Yes, I realise these two groups aren't necessarily distinct.)
Jack Hanna is one of the world's most famous zookeepers and animal experts. Nicknamed 'Jungle Jack', he's an extraordinary character famed for his safari outfits and rich Southern accent.
But it wasn't him I was worried about.
Jack brought over 30 of his animals
into my New York studio – ranging from cuddly little owls and beavers to
not-so-cuddly snow leopards, alligators, boa constrictors, vultures and
a full-sized cheetah.
Now, I've had some dangerous moments involving wild creatures in my life. I once fell over in an unlicensed bullring during a stag party in Madrid and nearly got gored to death by a raging young bull.
I came face to face during a deep Barbados dive with a large hammerhead shark, who gave every impression of viewing me as a particularly juicy human nail, but thankfully swam on.
And I survived an extraordinary 4am encounter with a drunken Katie Price, in full-on Jordan persona, at Simon Cowell's 50th birthday party – which threatened to be riskier to my health than the bull or shark.
But nothing prepared me for the tension of sitting in a chair 3ft away from a giant cheetah, standing free outside of his cage, with raw, naked hunger in his eyes.
It was massive, snarling and straining on what looked to me like a rather skimpy leash being held by two smiling female animal trainers.
Jack gave me some cheery advice: 'Don't touch him.'
'Relax, Jack – I'm definitely not going to do that.'
'And remember, he's very quick on his feet – cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world and can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in three seconds.'
'Yes, I'm aware of that.'
'Nothing should go wrong, but you never know with cheetahs, so be on your guard, and if he does attack…'
'WHAAAT? Is this a serious conversation?'
'...just remember that cheetahs go straight for the neck. He'll bite you on the underside of your throat until he suffocates you, or punctures the vital artery in your neck.'
I stared at the cheetah, who was now snorting at me with pure, unadulterated venom.
It was a deeply unsettling situation.
Jack, who was smiling in that kind of half grimace, half grin that Jack Nicholson perfected in The Shining, continued his 'briefing'.
'If he does kill you, then he'll try
and devour your flesh as soon as possible before any of the other
predators we brought here today can join in.
'They're quite selfish like that.'
Suddenly, the cheetah roared and flew at one of my cameramen. And I mean flew. It was the scariest thing I've ever witnessed.
Both trainers pulled hard on the leash, and somehow managed to stop this giant, seething cat reaching his lunch – as the cameraman dived for cover.
Jack laughed.
'I think the lights are cranking him up a bit.'
My producer, hiding in the control room, spoke with nervous excitement into my earpiece.
'If this goes wrong, can I have your office?'
In the end, I emerged from the
'interview' unscathed.
'That was great – let's do it again sometime,'
said Jack, as we walked backstage.
'Sure,' I replied. 'How does some time in 2056 sound?'
I walked inside my New York apartment building tonight, at 11pm, and a man was standing with two dogs on leads chatting to one of the doormen.
With no provocation, and no warning, one of the dogs suddenly leapt up and bit me on the leg. Well, nipped hard would be more accurate, as it didn't draw blood, though it did pierce my suit trousers.
I've evaded the jaws of alligators, snakes, bears, leopards and a cheetah.
But I couldn't evade a large, angry Labrador.
Oh, the irony.
I've covered every spit, cough and attack of the entire campaign, and it's been an exhilarating experience
Barack Obama won the election last night, and has four more years to try and live up to the hopes of the millions who first swept him to victory back in 2008.
I've covered every spit, cough and attack of the entire campaign, and it's been an exhilarating experience.

Americans love their politics, and the vast majority seem much more engaged in the process of choosing their new leader than most Britons I know.
In the end, they went for Obama because they bought into his claim that he inherited an unholy financial mess from George W Bush and needs more time to repair the damage.
They also, I think, just liked him more than Republican candidate Mitt Romney – who never shrugged off his reputation as a rich, out-of-touch businessman who neither understands nor cares about the concerns of ordinary Americans.
Obama's not perfect, and has failed to fulfil much of his huge promise so far. But he's been given a second chance, and I hope he makes the most of it.
Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, two of the most popular presidents in history, both had rough first terms, then enjoyed a thriving economy in their second terms, which encouraged them to be bolder in their leadership – and they ended up heroes.
I've got a feeling Obama will go the same way. I wish him well.

Doctors turn to drink on MPs' advice
Last updated at 13:55, Tuesday, 20 March 2012
Doctors should routinely quiz their patients about drinking habits, say MPs.
What are they trying to do, keep people away from surgeries?
All very worrying, this government drive into social engineering and life controlling. MPs now think it is their business to dictate what we eat, how much we drink, whether we smoke, what our children should be eating for lunch and – via Mr Cameron's favourite retail guru Mary Portas – where we should be doing our shopping.
Politicians say GP intrusion is vital to prevent an escalation of health problems from excessive drinking.
Anyone identified as a "risky drinker" – someone who regularly consumes more than the Government prescribed weekly limit – would be sent on an intervention course with a doctor or nurse and given advice about how to cut down.
Don't doctors and nurses have enough to do dealing with colds, man-flu, signing off sickies and identifying genuine illness without having to interrogate their patients on lifestyle choices too?
And what patient wants to face a third degree interview about how much they eat and drink when they pitch up at the doc's with a cough and a sore throat?
Cross-party MPs believe it necessary to focus on "risky drinkers" who fall below the radar, because too much emphasis has been placed on teenage or binge drinking.
Almost a quarter of the population falls into the "risky" category of tipplers who indulge just a tad too often.
Factor out doctors under pressure and MPs in their subsidised Commons bars and you can bet the figure would be much lower.

Sony patents temperature feedback games controller
October 17, 2012
Video game developers are always looking for new ways to give players a more immersive experience. But with several motion-controlled systems widely available and a viable virtual reality headset in the works, what else could be done to make games seem more realistic? Sony may have an unexpected answer with a recent patent that describes a controller that changes temperature between hot and cold to match in-game actions. With the controller giving "temperature feedback," the idea is that players would be able to more closely feel what their character feels, from getting hit with a fireball to traveling through a blizzard.
Sony's new patent outlines plans for a "Temperature Feedback Motion Controller" and depicts what looks like a Playstation Move controller that's been outfitted with thermal pads around the grip to generate hot or cold temperatures. Though it doesn't mention any specific technology for heating or cooling on such a small scale, the patent does present a lot of ideas for how changing temperatures could be applied to video games.
As it's described, the proposed controller would use alternating surfaces connected to thermal modules for either hot or cold to recreate various temperatures. With these surfaces arranged in either a checkerboard pattern or as separate bands wrapped around the grip, the controller could adjust the intensity of each set to either raise or lower the temperature in the player's hand. The controller could also activate more than one set of surfaces at the same time for different effects, and the patent even specifically mentions maxing out both hot and cold to simulate a "painful or burning sensation" from a game enemy's attack without the risk of any actual pain or injury.
Additionally, the patent notes the controller could have colored lights that correspond to its temperature: blue for cold, red for hot, yellow for warm, etc. A small fan could also expel hot or cold air for an added sensation (to match the blast from an in-game explosion, for example). The controller wouldn't even need to be a standalone device, as Sony's patent also describes possibly containing the whole temperature feedback system into a "sheath attachment" that slides over an existing controller.
There are plenty of ways a temperature changing controller could be applied to a game, and the patent offers quite a few examples. Game environments with extreme temperatures, like icy caverns or roaring volcanoes, would easily be enhanced by mimicking the respective temperatures. The same could be said for when a character interacts with certain objects, like fire or running water. A game might even have a gun overheat as it's fired and then cool down, with the player feeling the shift in temperature. Or the controller could be used for a literal game of hot and cold, with the user's hands feeling warmer the closer they get to a hidden object in a game.
But the proposed controller doesn't stop at creating a more realistic gaming experience. The patent also describes cooling the controller when it detect sweaty hands or an increased heart rate in the player and heating it when it detects cold hands.
Unfortunately, Sony hasn't made any comment on the patent just yet, so we'll have to wait and see if this develops into a full-fledged product. On the whole, a temperature feedback controller sounds unorthodox, but could provide an incredibly rewarding experience if implemented properly. There's a lot of creative potential for such a device, which could be very enticing for game developers and gamers alike.

Fourth refinery expected to cost $14.5 billion; Summer imports of LNG seen rising to 40-45 cargoes
May 9, 2012 9:16 by kippreport
Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) will launch a tender next month to build a long-delayed refinery at Al-Zour with a capacity of 615,000 barrels per day (bpd), a senior executive at KNPC said on Tuesday.
"All the contracts might be awarded by early next year and we're hoping for completion in 2017," Jamal Al-Loughani, deputy managing director of marketing at KNPC, told the MPGC conference organized by Conference Connection in Bahrain.
KNPC operates OPEC member Kuwait's three existing refineries, which together have a capacity of 930,000 bpd.
Investment in the Al-Zour refinery, estimated to cost around $14.5 billion, has been delayed for years due to political wrangling.
Loughani also said he expected Kuwait to import 40-45 cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by October 2012, more than it did during the peak summer period from March to October last year.
The Gulf Arab oil exporter needs to import gas for power generation to meet air conditioning demand in hot summer months. Loughani said he expected Kuwait to take delivery of five cargoes in May alone.
Kuwait began importing super-cooled gas in 2009 and has term deals to buy it from Royal Dutch Shelland Vitol from 2010-2013.

Too late to plant bearded iris in zone 6b?
Have a spot for them. Too late to plant? It has been an unseasonably cold winter and everything is now blooming at once from forsythia to cherry blossoms to daffodils. If not too late to plant, how do I prepare iris bed?
Beardeds need full sun and good drainage. Bed preparation depends upon your soil. I like to dig in bonemeal and a low-nitrogen fertilizer. Schreiners site has lots of information.
Probably 2 months to bloom time in your zone. If so you may not have bloom this year.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.schreinersgardens.com/how-to-grow-care-for-bearded-iris
vettin, there's a Memorial Day garden fair not far from me, and a vendor sells bearded iris rhizomes. I've planted them successfully -- even had some flower the same summer.
Meadows Farms nursery (and probably Merrifield Garden Center) have bearded iris in gallon pots for $12 apiece. I almost bought Titan's Glory yesterday but decided I don't really have a good place for more iris. If you plant potted iris now, they will bloom in May. Ordering rhizomes from Schreiner's gives you a MUCH greater selection but they arrive in August and don't bloom the first year. You may see dried out rhizomes in bags at the box stores -- don't buy those, they were dug last summer and are near death.

Venus Meets Mars
I don't know how many more planet pictures I will get in this series. However, tonight Venus is meeting Mars as Saturn departs the scene. The picture I selected tonight shows Venus just below the orangeish Mars as a plane flies just beneath Saturn.
Saturn will keep departing the scene stage right while Venus and Mars will slowly appear a little lower in the sky each evening as the slowly pull apart over the next few weeks.

Product description
In the week since Lela returned to Rhode Island, local news has been dominated by chilling sightings of human-like creatures running on all fours. Lela knows there s only one explanation: the Mazikin have arrived in the land of the living. Needing to maintain the appearance of a normal life, Lela returns to Warwick High along with Malachi. At night they hunt for the Mazikin nest along with two new Guards. Jim, one rogue recruit, repeatedly challenges Lela s authority. Lela struggles to keep all her Guards on the right side of the law, but their mistakes come at a terrible cost. As one painful revelation follows another and the Mazikin start targeting those closest to her, Lela finds herself more vulnerable than ever. With an enemy determined to separate soul from body, Lela must decide how much she s willing to sacrifice to protect those she loves."

- Railway staff catch thieves stealing bike - and let them get on with it1 year 5 weeks agoIt's a sad world but if your
It's a sad world but if your going to leave something that can be made readily portable out of your sight, make sure it's something you can a) afford to lose and/or b) of no emotional value.
If I had to leave a commuter at a railway station it would be made of parts scrounged from the scrapyard.
This does not in any way excuse the station staff from not at least asking for some proof of i.d. They clearly thought something was wrong or they wouldn't have challenged the thieves in the first place.
Also. "Items left at own risk" - Didn't think that affected your statuary rights or the stations 'duty of care'. Anyone out there work in the legal profession?
- Project One Clarification1 year 5 weeks agoAll right, let's have a bit
All right, let's have a bit of calm. Trek is giving away a £3,400 road bike, and getting grief for it because of what some see as 'cheating' in an online competition. Bit whiny and sad, isn't it?
Here's the thing: we can see who's voting and we can see a lot about how they're voting. Pretty much everyone is trying to use the voting system to their advantage.
Some ways of doing that are acceptable. Getting your friends to vote for you, even getting them to do it regularly: that's okay, this is an online competition after all. Getting your IT skills to vote for you, over and over again: that's not okay.
Votes that we think fall in to the latter category will be deleted - we've already done that once and when voting closes we will look at the votes cast for every entrant and where necessary do it again.
As a reminder, here is part of the terms and conditions everyone agreed to when they entered this competition:
"By taking part in this competition you agree to be bound by the competition rules and by the decisions of Farrelly Atkinson which are final in all matters relating to the competition."

That's more like it.
- Marks & Spencer launches cycling chinos1 year 5 weeks agoIf your waist measurement is
If your waist measurement is less than your inside leg then stick to buying Rapha. The snobbery is then there for all to see and saves you posting on the Web and sticking the vees up to ordinary cyclists.

he had a legitimate side-line in releasing locked bikes where owners had lost their keys but could prove ownership of said bike
he said to me, on a number of occasions, "don't lock up a bike you wish to retrieve in the future".
in other words, if it has value (to anyone, I have seen 'beater' bikes with seized derailleur gears stolen) then don't leave it on the street...

I was just responding to a claim that BJ was a neo-liberal. I was in fact just getting narked with the usual bunkum that gets spouted by people that chuck terms around as insults when they don't know what they mean. So very briefly in reply to you.
1 Disreali has the term attributed to him but it has a well established definition in political science terms that BJ conforms to and what is more says he conforms to
2 It is dubious that Thatcherite and Elitist are compatable terms. Even as an vociferous opponent of hers in the day she was in favour of busting up elites and diversifying power to individuals. Argue about whether that worked but the aim was to break elites in professions and elsewhere. MT was an indiviudalist.
Just done a sweep up of roster changes, couple of Europcar, couple to the Portuguese teams so best to check you've not lost someone (emails have gone out).
One thing to note that you may not have noticed unless you bothered to read the 'scoring information' but there's no young rider jersey in this race.
...But as it is I can just see a whole lot of greed. Which isn't particularly becoming.
Almost, but not entirely. Some talked about donating the bike to charity and I've publicly stated elsewhere that if I won, the proceeds from the sale of my current bike (a 2013 Spzd Tarmac) would go to Kidney Research UK.
I'd agree with the reading of the stages....now to research my Pork N Cheese 3 pointers!!
not good tire, at all
small volume for advertised size, and lethal in wet weather
speaking from experience here...got given a set for free by a customer, nothing positive to report, soon removed and replaced with S-Works Turbos, at my cost
'Rule of thumb - if your waist size is bigger than your inside leg, you need to lose a bit from around your middle '
Depends how long/short your legs are
I have had to cut my own locks twice or three times after losing keys or breaking them off in the lock. I wasn't challenged, but obviously I would not in the least have minded being asked for ID or photographed or being asked to come back and collect the bike from the stationmaster's office in a week's time.
I would, however, have been miffed if I had been challenged mainly on the basis that I was a woman cutting the lock of a diamond-frame bike that was obviously only meant to be ridden by a man (especially given that the frame was a few sizes too big for me.) Lots of men ride step-through frames and lots of women ride diamond frames, it comes down to ease of getting on/off versus how uncomfortable the geometry is when actually riding. Gender stereotyping here isn't useful.
It's a shame they're only available for short people.

I have to blame the staff at the station. It seems plain common sense not to allow people to use bolt cutters on a bike lock until they have actually proved beyond doubt that it is their bike and more importantly their lock.
Any genuine person that had a bike that they lost the keys for would almost certainly ask in advance about releasing the bike before turning up with the croppers.
Sheer unmitigated incompetence. And to say this was a clever con just compounds matters. It was just a simple lie that the staff dumbly accepted without question. There is just no clever about it.
Peter the kitchen man is still down to ride Algarve - watch me surge up the table!
the kitchen table?
no points for any of the tiddlers in Oman stage1
As a Derby cyclist who actually attended the planning meeting when this application was passed maybe I could answer a few points.
The site itself was created when all the contaminated topsoil from Pride Park was dumped and covered with a membrane and fenced off to keep the public away. This allowed nature to regenerate the area and attracted wildlife (mainly birds) and the area was later upgraded to a Local Nature Reserve.
The funding from BC specified that the track should be next door to the velodrome so that the changing rooms and car parking can be used for both.
The track itself will be screened from the rest of the reserve by an earth bank to keep disturbance to a minimum and the whole area will be fenced off to protect both the LNR and the track.
The planning committee approved it by 6 votes to 5 ; all 5 Labour councillors voted for it while the 4 Tories opposed so it came down to the 2 Lib Dems who were split on the issue (or if you are cynical you could say they were allowed to make their own minds up )
accidentally replicated the overall in the stage finish
updating again now
May 10th is my sons 10th birthday, he is mad about TeamSky, so figured what better treat than to take him watch his heroes..
Sadly the £300 ferry fare is outrageous & no way I can justify the cost
1 very very dispointed child here
Not being in the final 25, perhaps my views are meaningless. But it seems to me that whatever happens, one person will be getting a bike they didn't previously have, and haven't paid for; and 24 others are no worse off than they were.
Had entries required stumping up of cash, I'd feel differently. But as it is I can just see a whole lot of greed. Which isn't particularly becoming.

Which is exactly what he wants. He plays the buffoon to hide the pure, sadistic evil of neo-liberal policies. He is a very dangerous man, and if Britain is foolish and blind enough to elect this pile of feces to N° 10 Downing Street, we shall rue the day.
He is indeed a monumental shitbin.
must be a bad line from sweden
i'll get it sorted, don't worry
Gkam84 wrote:No the competition was for a bike and ONLY bike, for ONE winner, no runners up, no splitting of the prize pot
Yes I accept that was the original intention and in an ideal world, where all the voting had taken place with everyone on a level playing field, it would work.
But with suspicions of a unfair result, all trust has since disappeared.
If you wanted to make an issue of all 25 getting something, I would make an issue of the judging that picked the 25 in the first place....Why didn't mine get in? I want a prize....
It would just get silly
Doesn't really require extensive security training does it? Bolt-cutters = ask for ID and ask if they would mind waiting twenty minutes for Transport Police to be present.
A thousand times this.

I find it utter amazing that Brazil, for example that has millions of people living in squalid favelas across the country, sub-standard public institutions is building a nuclear submarine. I concur with Traveler77 as far as who, from the outside region is going to attack Brazil, or South America that would justify the military hardware? The only war any South American country in the last century that involved an attack by outsiders was Argentina and Britain, a war that the Argentines sort of instigated to begin with. Chavez, or anyone there is certainly not that stupid to instigate a war with the US or NATO country, or someone else. Chavez's little feint with the US backed, military superior Colombia earlier this year proves this.
I agree with Brazilian Vanguard in that we shouldn't abolish the military, but South American countries with its crippling poverty could better spend their money.
Those in Latin America unconcerned about Brazil's nuclear submarine really ought to be concerned. The boat is not the problem. It is Brazil's ability to enrich uranium to run a reactor small enough for a ship. Uranium enrichment levels for nuclear-powered vessels vary by national program, but all are vastly higher than required for civil electric power generation programs.Brazil's nuclear sub program constitutes a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty hedging strategy for the day Brasilia decides to build a nuclear weapon. With a functional nuclear ship program, Brazil could be a nuclear power in a matter of a few months.
Your countdown to Armageddon is extremely antiquated. It is a shame that Columbia requires the aid of the USA to combat internal difficulties; perhaps a request for aid from the UN would've been more politically correct.
Having said that however, your 'big brother is over my shoulder' attitude is extremely old-fashioned. Conspiracies of major Multinationals waging wars in other countries to sell their 'goods' reeks of Hollywood sensationalism and completely disregards the advances of fiscal and governing transparency in most the western world today.
I invite you to share any proof or in fact, anything PLAUSIBLE to substantiate your claims in this forum
Dear Traveler77,
We are already under attack. This one is subtle. They already have their military bases in South America and their position is becoming stronger. The weapon / military industry is too strong and they always need some war to sell their products. Maybe it wont be now, but it will happen.
I agree that we share a common history and values with other South American nations. Brotherhood - commercial, diplomatic, and cultural bonding should be considered an advantage. However, expanding this union into military ground takes it way too far. I say this because we have a madman (Chavez) right next door. Giving this angry monkey any military support would cause the most severe military conflict in the history of the continent. Kudos to President Uribe for not accepting the Brazilian proposal to include a military alliance in the agenda. Who's going to attack South America anyway? Norway?
This anti-American European rant that so many of you posters are spouting is extremely disheartening. To think, as a Brazilian, we citizens of South America were above all that.
I agree that this article has no basis for existence. It doesn't really inform the reader of anything, other than South American countries modernizing their ailing military. Not sure how this is pertinent to anyone.
One poster mentioned the atrocities committed by Europe over the past few centuries. Why are you comparing us at all? South American countries are toddlers in comparison to our European counterparts. They've been embroiled in large scale wars since the creation of Bronze. We should not follow in the footsteps of either Europe or USA, we should be grateful, that Europe has been through a long and arduous history and we can LEARN from it.
As relatively new democracies and independent countries, we have the enviable position of learning and reacting from the current Superpowers. Our day will come, but don't let bigotry and your distorted sense of 'USA/Europe is the source of all evil' cloud your judgement. Don't start with the conspiracy theories that will ultimately create another obtuse, socially stunted Venezuelan 'president'.
Brazil's strategy is simple, as already implied by a poster. All disagreements should be tackled by diplomacy. That should be our motto. Lets not join the 'shoot first, ask questions later' bandwagon and allow others to justify incursions into a neighbours back garden.
For those of you who think no money should be spent in the military, I find that incredibly juvenile. Not sure whether you're aware of International Relations, but as a sovereignty, your last line of defence is your military. No nation would be credible without one. I agree money should be spent in other areas that will improve social discord, however lets not be extreme in thinking we can't have both.
We have to be very concern about what is going on in South America. We have oil, commodities, drinking water, food, land and the Amazon Forest. If I am a powerful economy and I need these resources, nobody has to say what I need to do, right? The region has been and is been destabilized by an unknown interest. Guess who? Who needs energy, land, water, food,….?
And you know, in my opinion, this is ludicrous and a waste of time. I have no doubt that a lot of politicians, governments, think-tanks and journalists know what is going on and do nothing to prevent it. They even manipulate the facts to make somebody seems like a dictator or the devil. This is all "part of the game" and a lot of people try to obtain a good "business" opportunity. However, do not forget that a lot of people thought exactly the same about Iraq.
Before talking about our expenditure in weapons, please, take a look on super power military expenditure. This is incomparable.
I strongly recommend that we use the diplomatic way correctly to solve our internal problems in South America and avoid "external help".
Dear Sirs,
There ae so many examples of casus belli in the region, that as a Colombian Lawyer I have no doubt whatsoever that we are about to engage into war, for the same damned reason, the US is at war in Iraq. Namely, oil! Colombia has been a huge exporter of coffee since the sixties. Whilst Venezuela and Brazil have eebn of oil. For a decade now, Colombia went from 2nd place to 5th or 7th place as a coffee exporter. And suddenly, Viet-nam and Thailand are taking our place. This only means that Colombia�s turn to become the new provider of crude oil to the US has arrived. We have always had more oil reserves, and natural gas reserves than Venezuela. But, we have been just that, a US oil reserve ever since Raeaganomics was invented or coined as a phrase. No wonder, suddenly Canadians and Americans are finding gold, uranium, zinc, copper, more coal, diamonds, emeralds than ever before!!So, sit back, and make some pop-corn, to watch on cable the new oil war: Colombia-Venezuela. Obviously the US will come in and assist Colombia and the Venezuelan people to overthrow the Dictator of Venezuela. Operation Guajira, or perhaps Operation MacArthur II 2010 led by Pres. McCain? The US is only waiting to deploy ts troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, get the elections resolved, wait tll the oil prices fall a bit, disallowing Chavez�s spending in weaponry, and oil�, all the world�s attention will be placed on Colombia, and everybody will forget about the Middle East and that mess over there.
There was not a yota of a comment regarding the un-economic and inefficient military spending. Explain that "The Economist"
I have always thought that we South Americans have squandered the last two centuries bickering over useless border disputes and regional rivalries. At the end these wars have been thought for the benefit of the armed forces who make some nice off-the-book comissions on the purchase of weapons, and at the expense of more useful investments.
I think that the establishment of a South American Union and a common military force while abolishing the armed forces of each country would go a long way in guaranteeing stablility and protecting the common project from the ambitions of any delusional leaders present or future.
Buying warfare is a zero sum game. South America should invest in education which would be a long term solution to poverty and many other problems.
Mr. Pecaya, with all due respect I think you might be brown nosing to Mr. Chavez, besides, what's up w/ all those "s" words in a nice family magazine? Now, no one is defending Bush's policies here but gosh, Mr. Chavez's donation of oil to the "poor" people of The Bronx, NY and London, England certainly can make one stop and think a bit... Furthermore, Venezuela can only squander their resources for so long before the population is going to start looking back and realize that they played the part of the 1800's California gold miner who got rich fast but spent it all, quick and foolishly on whiskey and whores...
It is much better build friendships and seek affinities, than be suspicious all the time neighbours. This is not the slightest sense. The best is go hand in hand. There is no sense for wars in South America, we must work for the progress of South America.
