Slide Show: Hellebore Season
Posted Feb 26, 2010, 12:00pm
Hellebores produce some of the most treasured flowers of winter and early spring. There are many species and hybrids available, each with particular assets in the garden. Breeding efforts particularly focusing on the Lenten roses (Helleborus x hybridus) seen at left are creating ever-richer colors and the forms are increasingly refined every year, with doubles, semi-doubles, more pronounced nectaries and larger, more upward-facing flowers. Other types of hellebores offer beautiful...

Five games in six days is a tough task for any team.
For the second consecutive week, it was a fourth quarter interception that was the main factor in a Statesboro victory.
CLAXTON - Claxton's star running back, Shavez Mincey, left the game with an injury midway through the second quarter, but the rest of the offense answered the bell.
BROOKLET-It wasn't as bad as it looked. Really. This isn't just a "hometown newspaper" thing.
Bulloch Academy turned five Tiftarea fumbles into points Friday night as the Gators pummeled the Panthers 48-7 in the GISA Region 1-AAA opener for both teams.
The Screven County Gamecocks picked up their first win of the season in the region opener, beating Jefferson County 31-19 in a back-and-forth affair with a wild fourth quarter.
Despite the relative closeness of the schools, tonight will mark just the second all-time meeting between Statesboro and Tattnall County when the two square off at Womack Field at 7:30 p.m.
After two weeks on the road battling non-region foes, Bulloch Academy begins its eight-game Region 2-IAAA schedule tonight at Gator Alley, hosting the winless Tiftarea Panthers.
PORTAL - After a stunning setback last week, the Portal Panthers will try to get back to their winning ways tonight as they travel over to Evans County to take on Claxton at 7:30 p.m.
BROOKLET-Southeast Bulloch has boiled tonight's matchup against Bleckley County down to a simple catchphrase - "Make them snap it again."
PEMBROKE - Last season, Mark Wilson struggled in his first year as the head coach at Bryan County. Trying to make some changes on a team that was heavy on youth and light on recent success, the Redskins stumbled to a winless 0-10 mark, but this season, a resurgence has Wilson and his team sitting at 2-0 through their first two games.
For many high school football teams, the goal is simply to find a way to put up the most points each week. For Statesboro, which can boast more wins than most, everything is about the bigger picture.
BROOKLET - A football team's biggest improvement comes between the first game of the season and the second game.
PORTAL - It was the best of halves and it was the worst of halves.
SANDERSVILLE - For three quarters, the House of Pain lived up to its name - then Statesboro dealt out some punishment of its own.
By MIKE ANTHONY and HORACE HOLLOMAN
Southeast Bulloch's boys soccer team have a tall order in front of them for the first round of the state playoffs. The Yellow Jackets will face a highly-touted Jackson High School today in a first round matchup.
The Southeast Bulloch girls soccer team erased a one-goal deficit, surrendered a two-goal lead, and finally put on an impressive penalty kick display to claim a road victory over Jackson in the first round of the Class AAA state playoffs Thursday.
BROOKLET - There's nothing like playing in front of the home crowd, and the Yellow Jackets of Southeast Bulloch plan to take full advantage of the community support.
ALBANY – Senior Ashley Burke and freshman Mattie Wynn Hendrix combined for eight points in the only event final on Day One of the GISA track and field championships at Hugh Mills Stadium.
By HORACE HOLLOMAN
Afforded the opportunity to play at J.I. Clements Stadium, the Gators of Bulloch Academy seemed to want to stay on the field all night. Bulloch battled arch rival Pinewood to a 6-6 stalemate through the regulation seven innings before mounting a huge rally to claim a 12-11 victory Tuesday night.
Slowly but surely, the Portal Panthers' girls track team are beginning to etch their name in the school record books. Last year, the track team crowned its first state champion in Unique Mosley. This year the girls accomplished hoisting the school's first region title in girls track.
Southeast Bulloch's Stephen Mikell epitomizes the phrase "student athlete." The 18-year-old No. 1 singles player for the Yellow Jackets capped off his senior season by going undefeated on the tennis court while still maintaining a 3.96 GPA in the classroom.
For the second straight season, Bulloch Academy travels to Atlanta to face Holy Spirit Prep in the 'Elite Eight' of the GISA Class AAA girls' soccer playoffs.

It's Time to Abandon 'Munich'
After 75 years, foreign policy's uber-analogy needs to go.
- By Tom ShachtmanTom Shachtman is the author of The Phony War, 1939-1940, Terrors and Marvels (about science and technology in World War II); and coauthor of The Forty Years War: The Rise and Fall of the Neocons, from Nixon to Obama.
The September 30, 1938, Munich pact, hailed then as a victory for peace, quickly became the opposite as it allowed Hitler to take over most of Eastern Europe without bloodshed. Ever since, "Munich" has been a catchphrase for appeasement and losing the best moment to stop a dictator.
Secretary of State John Kerry, in a September 2, 2013, phone call with congressional Democrats, called the need to strike at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for his use of chemical weapons a "Munich moment," arguing that Americans cannot be "silent spectators at the slaughter." President Barack Obama, while avoiding explicit use of the phrase, has made clear that Assad must not be permitted to take advantage of the West's unwillingness to use force as Hitler took advantage of the similar reluctance in 1938. And, as Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel made clear recently, U.S. inaction on Syrian chemical weapons would have international reverberations — the South Koreans are worried that it could embolden North Korea to use its chemical and biological weapons.
"Munich" has been used as an analogy to cover so many situations — from the Cuban missile crisis to the Vietnam War to the Gulf War — that it ought to be retired. Historical politico-military tropes don't have to last forever; in the modern world, we no longer have use for likening new situations to crossing the Rubicon, meeting one's Waterloo, or surviving a winter at Valley Forge. Hindsight about Munich may say that France and Great Britain should not have negotiated with Hitler but instead gone to war and stopped him then and there, once and for all, but hindsight has a way of omitting important details — those which reveal that Munich was more complicated than a black-and-white choice between fighting and giving in.
At Munich, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Neville Chamberlain, and Edouard Daladier signed a short memorandum in which Great Britain, France, and Italy agreed not to make war against Nazi Germany and allow Hitler to take over the Sudetenland (a part of Czechoslovakia populated mostly by German-speakers who had supposedly expressed interest in joining the Third Reich) in exchange for Hitler's pledge not to invade any other European territories. Chamberlain and Daladier signed because France and Great Britain, still recovering from the ravages of the Great War, had little appetite or capacity for battle. At the time of the Anschluss, six months earlier, when Hitler had taken over Austria, Daladier had properly identified the Nazis's next target. But in September, when he wanted to honor France's treaty obligations to protect Czechoslovakia and declare war on Germany, he was stymied by his cabinet and the French military apparatus. And he knew he could not go to war without the British.
Moreover, a peace pact was exactly what the French and British populaces wanted. Enormous, exultant crowds, jubilant that Great Britain would not have to go to war, greeted the 70-year-old prime minister and believed him when Chamberlain told them the Munich agreement meant "peace in our time." Daladier flew in to Paris expecting to be lynched, and was lionized. Aghast, he characterized the ebullient crowds to an aide as "les cons," the fools. President Franklin Roosevelt sent congratulations; his telegram was so effusive in its praise that Ambassador Joseph Kennedy chose to read it to the British and would not turn over the text, believing that the president might later regret his words. Shortly thereafter, the ambassador gave up on the British and advised Roosevelt to make an accommodation with Hitler.
Within weeks of the pact's signature, Hitler broke his word, taking over the Sudetenland and pounding at the gates of the remaining, non-German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia. Within two months, the Nazis carried out the "Kristallnacht" pogroms against Jews in Germany and Austria. There was no mistaking that sign, so the United States and other countries withdrew their ambassadors to Berlin. The following August, Hitler made a secret alliance with the Soviet Union to split Poland between them, and on September 1, 1939 invaded Poland. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany and so began World War II.
As a term of opprobrium, "Munich" was ubiquitous during World War II and in the early decades of the Cold War. John F. Kennedy wrote his senior thesis at Harvard on "Appeasement at Munich" and turned it into his first book, Why England Slept, published in 1940, in which he advanced the thesis that the British Isles had been so unprepared for war in 1938 that Chamberlain had had little choice but to give in to Hitler. He argued that if Great Britain and France had gone to war in 1938, they might well have lost.
By the onset of the Cold War, the prudent reason for not attacking Hitler in September 1938 had been forgotten, and "Munich" became the battle cry of those trying to prevent the communists from taking over the world. President Dwight Eisenhower wrote to Churchill on April 4, 1954, rationalizing why the United States had to help the French at Dien Bien Phu: "We failed to halt Hirohito, Mussolini and Hitler by not acting in unity and in time. That marked the beginning of many years of stark tragedy and desperate peril. May it not be that our nations have learned something from that lesson?" Such thoughts led directly to America's early involvement in Vietnam.
During the Cuban missile crisis, President Kennedy and his advisors were in basic agreement that this was a "Munich moment" — that it was the right place and time to stop the Soviets from putting nuclear missiles within easy striking distance of the U.S. mainland. Unlike Chamberlain at Munich, in 1962 Kennedy knew that the United States had the military strength to best the U.S.S.R. in Cuba, if it came to that. However, inside the war room, Kennedy had to finesse the loudest shouter of the Munich analogy, Air Force Chief of Staff General Curtis LeMay, who was insistent that diplomacy was of no use in solving the crisis and that the proper response was to drop nuclear bombs on Cuba.
For LeMay and other Cold War ultra-conservatives, the meaning of Munich was best articulated by Dr. Fritz Kraemer, the monocled civilian Pentagon strategist (and mentor of Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig) for whom Munich was a prime example of "provocative weakness." Reacting too meekly to an aggressor's move, Kraemer taught, only emboldened and enabled further aggression. To Kraemer and LeMay, diplomacy and appeasement were the same thing. To Kennedy, they were not. Kennedy interpreted Munich to be a demonstration of the truth of the memorable phrase, attributed by Kennedy — incorrectly, as it turned out — to Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Doing something, however, did not have to mean mounting an invasion when negotiation could solve the problem.
Munich provided the rationale for Lyndon Johnson's decision to pour troops into Vietnam, and for rhetoric stressing that North Vietnam was invading its neighbors. Johnson later wrote, "Everything I knew about history told me that if I got out of Vietnam and let Ho Chi Minh run through the streets of Saigon, then I'd be doing exactly what Chamberlain did in World War II. I'd be giving a big fat reward to aggression."
The forebears of the neocons, led by Kraemer, saw provocative weakness and Munich-like appeasement in President Richard Nixon's unilateral withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, starting in the spring of 1969. Opposing Munich-style give-ins became the rallying cry for Richard Perle and other neocons decrying potential nuclear agreements with the Soviets in the 1970s and '80s. The ultimate bad example, the neocons charged, was President Ronald Reagan's withdrawal of American troops from Lebanon in 1984, six months after the terrorist bombing of the Marine barracks there. But there were problems with the neocons' uses of the analogy — they kept stretching the parameters until they were nearly meaningless.
There was one last appropriate invoking of Munich as rationale for action, whispered by National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher into the ear of President George H. W. Bush in 1991, to convince the former World War II pilot of the need to oust Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. The parallels with Munich were so close — the dictator took over a neighboring country and planned not to stop there but to go on to invade Saudi Arabia — that the world community agreed and joined with the United States to push the invaders back to Baghdad.
Seventy-five years after Munich, most crises in which the international community sees potential reason to intervene do not involve the integrity of territorial boundaries but rather the broaching of moral and ethical boundaries. Those are difficult to define precisely. In Syria, good and evil do not exist on opposite sides of the insurgency, for both have used barbaric tactics, albeit in different degrees. Moreover, the options in Syria are not simply to fight or to give in: Diplomacy (as with the U.N. Security Council resolution calling for Assad to give up his chemical weapons) may well be able to provide a middle ground that is hardly equivalent to appeasement.
Let's retire Munich as a handy one-size-fits-all catchphrase used to galvanize support for any action against any dictator at any time. The world has grown up since 1938 — it's more complex, more interconnected, and on many issues the good and the evil are not so easily separated. Certainly in the instance of the sarin gas used against Syrian civilians, the world community can find multiple reasons for counteracting and punishing the offender. But it's time to come up with a new analogy on rhetorical wings of which to mount the charge.

The web revolution has made the world shrink into a small mobile phone. Today we can not only talk to people far from us but also see them while talking. We can get information at a click of a button. We can travel on a chair! But do we just talk or really communicate? Do we just hear or actually listen? While Lily And Night Rider asks some such disturbing questions but with a dash of humour and twist.
The producer-actor
After its success in Marathi, the producers – Sonali Kulkarni and Milind Phatak – are premiering the play in Hindglish 'for a wider audience'. Sonali -- who has made a debut as a producer with this play after her friend and writer Rasika Joshi who initially played the lead passed away -- says that it is a laugh riot on contemporary relationship problems. "When Milind told me about the comeback and asked me to play the role, my instinct told me to grab the opportunity with open hands. It would not have been right to imitate Rasika's style so we made changes in the script and my character," says Sonali.
Contemporary take
Today`s changing social environment continually redefines conventional man-woman relationships. This play uses dark humour to take a hard look at the increasing isolation that technology and rigid expectations are imposing on singletons. White Lily And Night Rider, the chat pseudonyms of a man and a woman in their 30s, is a laugh riot based on the undertone of mismatched expectations. It promises to entertain the audience, while making them reflect on the changing times. "As the play was written almost five years agao, we had to make a lot of changes. Now we are continuoulsy hooked to whatsapp and messages. We have become more of message generation than a chat one," she says.
Real vs virtual world
The protagonists are very close to each other and want to meet so that they may take the decision of marriage. But will the reality be as sweet as virtual world? The play raises innumerable questions and confusions about the fundamentals of the relationship and companionship but in a lighter vein. "We never intended to write as a classical English play neither a typical shuddh Hindi one. It is very much a Mumbai language play to communicate with the people of today," Sonali says.
When and Where: April 12 at Prithvi Theatre from 9 pm onwards

In a move that could create a domino effect of changes throughout the area, Galion High School has officially been voted in and accepted as a tenth member of the North Central Conference Wednesday, a move that had long been rumored and speculated for months.
Galion joins Upper Sandusky, who left the NOL for the NCC Feb. 5, to expand the NCC to a 10-team conference that will feature a big school/small school division.
The move leaves the Northern Ohio League, which features three area schools, Bellevue, Norwalk and Willard, with just six teams. Currently the NOL is made up by five other schools for an eight-team league, including Galion, Upper Sandusky, Tiffin Columbian, Fostoria and Shelby.
Both Galion and Upper Sandusky will join the NCC in two school years, meaning the change will officially take place in time for the 2011-12 school year.
There is no timetable on the NOL finding replacements for the two schools, however, various online reports have suggested Sandusky High School as a potential frontrunner for one of the two vacant slots should they apply.
Sandusky currently calls the Greater Buckeye Conference home along with Fremont Ross, which features long bus rides to Napoleon, Lima Senior, Marion Harding and Findlay. Galion and Upper Sandusky both cited lengthy travel times in a poor economy as one of the factors in the decision to move.

I derive two-stage, statistically suboptimal target detectors for images. The first, or transformation, stage is a "generalized matched filter" (GMF) that linearly transforms the input image. I propose three rational signal-to-noise-ratio criteria whose maximization yields the three GMFs. The second, or detection, stage is a univariate "Neyman-Pearson detector" (NPD), which executes a pointwise likelihood ratio test on the GMF transformed images. Experiments on infrared and synthetic-aperture radar imagery compare GMF/NPDs with several established detectors

When I was eating almond butter daily, this soreness was very bad, scalp was sore and very warm, difficult to describe this inflamation, felt like blood leaking - an unpleasant way to describe it, but it is not a headache at all, sore tender spots and this leakage feeling. Stopped the almond butter, problem happens mildly from time to time - I suspect allergy to nuts of any kind, but oddly, there are no usual headache pains, just as described as above. Anyone else experience this?
From time to time my head feels like it is inflamed, sore, sometimes in different areas. Worrisome?

If you have allergies, I'd suspect those. Try eliminating foods, shampoos, conditioners, allergy meds, etc.
Also, try cranio-sacral massage to see if any of your cranial plates are in the incorrect spot.
Is the warm feeling always in the same spot?
I have experienced it, along with a feeling of great pressure in the area. A skull plate was jammed under another. Cranial-sacral therapists released the jammed plate: the pressure, heat, and tenderness was relieved.
They also taught me, after many sessions to do it myself, and gave me the info to get the training to learn how to do it myself in case I ever banged my head their again (childhood injury, which I remembered, aged 3, and the sensations had been there ever since, so I grew up thinking they were "normal", though painfully uncomfortable).
Don't have any other suggestions.
Healing on your path.
Have it very badly tonight, alarming as it is very sore on the right side - back of the head - not the neck area but towards the top of my head. I had been using Clorox clean up spray liberally about an hour before - very possibly inhaling the fumes. Feels like I had a very bad blow to this area of my head, only way I can describe this, like a throbbing blow. Will stop the clorox, see what happens, and I am very grateful for your input. Nice that people care.

AP Exclusive: Inmate lawsuits cost Calif. $200M
Monday - 2/11/2013, 7:37pm EST
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Gov. Jerry Brown has begun aggressively challenging federal court oversight of California's prison system by highlighting what he says is a costly conflict of interest: The private law firms representing inmates and the judges' own hand-picked authorities benefit financially by keeping the cases alive.
How much are they making?
A tally by The Associated Press, compiled from three state agencies, shows California taxpayers have spent $182 million for inmates' attorneys and court-appointed authorities over the past 15 years. The payments cover a dozen lawsuits filed over the treatment of state prisoners, parolees and incarcerated juveniles, some of which have been settled.
The total exceeds $200 million when the state's own legal costs are added.
While the amounts are a blip on California's budget, they provide a continuous income stream for the private attorneys and experts involved in the ongoing litigation. And that is the point Brown is trying to make.
The AP sought the tally after the Democratic governor began using court filings and public appearances to call for an end to two major lawsuits that have forced the state to spend billions of dollars improving its medical and mental health care for prison inmates. Brown says the complaints are expensive, frivolous and motivated by attorneys' own financial interest.
"They don't want to go away," he said last month, standing behind a stack of court documents. "I mean, the name of the game here is, 'Come to Sacramento and get your little piece of the pie.'"
Brown says that, thanks to recent overhauls, California now offers inmates the best medical and mental health care of any prison system in the nation.
Inmates' lawyers and the court-appointed authorities overseeing inmate medical and mental health say the system, with more than 132,000 inmates, remains crowded and still has problems with suicides and mentally ill prisoners who deserve better care. They say they are not motivated by profit, but by a desire to protect prisoners' constitutional right to be free from cruel treatment.
"It's ridiculous for the governor to merely characterize these cases as being about money, when in fact these cases have been the only impetus in the last 20 years for reducing the prison population and improving conditions," said Donald Specter, director of the nonprofit Prison Law Office in Berkeley, which has won several major cases against the state.
The nonprofit, which has taken the lead in suing the state over inmate health care, and other legal firms have been paid $8.3 million in that case.
Many of the lawsuits are continuing despite the billions of dollars spent to improve treatment for the state's felons and a massive realignment of the state's penal system. The realignment has transferred responsibility for incarcerating tens of thousands of convicts from the state to the counties to reduce prison crowding.
Brown says inmate care now exceeds constitutional standards. He argues that what he called "the prison lobby" -- lawyers and the court-appointed special master overseeing penitentiary improvements -- is perpetuating the legal action to make money.
"We've got hundreds of lawyers wandering around the prisons looking for problems," he said.
The state has paid nearly $83 million to private law firms and the court-appointed authorities involved in the two major lawsuits that have forced the state to reduce its prison population and improve inmate medical and mental health treatment, according to the figures provided at the AP's request. The costs were provided by the corrections department, the state Department of Justice and the prison medical receiver's office and compiled by the AP.
In his budget address last month, Brown said the money that would be saved by ending court oversight in the mental health and health care cases could be spent instead on inmate education, substance abuse treatment and other rehabilitation programs, as well as to supervise convicts once they leave prison.
J. Clark Kelso, the court-appointed receiver who controls California's prison health care system, is paid $224,000 annually, and his administration costs taxpayers about $2 million a year. The receivership has spent $2.4 million for lawyers.
Receiver spokeswoman Joyce Hayhoe said Kelso expects to return control to the state as soon as it proves it can properly care for inmates.
"There is no effort on our part to delay any part of this case," she said.
The governor has taken particular aim at the court-appointed monitor overseeing inmate mental health care, Matthew Lopes.
The state has paid the special masters in that case and the prison experts they have hired more than $48 million since 1997, the earliest year for which reliable records can be found, according to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Our return stay at the Ullikana was just as good as the first. Helene and Roy are wonderful hosts and there is a warm and friendly feel to the beautiful house. Feasting on Helene's marvellous breakfasts in the peaceful garden looking out to the bay is an experience we will long remember. The main street is only two minutes walk from the Inn and a pretty walk along the sea only two minutes the other way.

So happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Thank you so much.

Our daughter recommended the Inn at Ullikana for our recent trip to Bar Harbor, and we're glad she did. The whole Inn and grounds all seem to be in great shape, very clean and well organized and maintained. The rooms are also very well designed and great on the eyes. The whole area seemed to be very quiet, even though it is only a short walk to town and restaurants. The back patio has a great view of Frenchman Bay, and one of our treats during our stay was seeing the Queen Mary 2 while we had breakfast in the back patio. Breakfasts served were fantastic, and different every morning we were there. Not just delicious but also the way they were served. The afternoon snacks in the living room before a roaring fireplace were also very nice. On top of all this, Roy and Hélène have to be among the most gracious and helpful hosts we've encountered. The feeling was that they had time for all of their guests, were able to help them on tours, reservations and other activities in the area, and also really got to know their gusts. Their staff was also very courteous and helpful. If we're ever up in Bar Harbor again, the Inn at Ullikana is definitely the place we'll stay.

Balch was launched 21 December 1912 by William Cramp and Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; sponsored by Miss Grace Balch, daughter of Admiral George Balch; and commissioned 26 March 1914, Lieutenant Commander D. C. Hanrahan in command.
Balch served only a few months with the Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, before she was placed in reserve commission at New York Navy Yard 24 July 1914. Included, however, was service in Mexican waters (28 April-3 May). On 17 December 1914 she was placed in full commission and rejoined the Atlantic Fleet. Prior to the entrance of the United States into World War I, she served on Neutrality Patrol. She rescued survivors of the British steamer Stephano (8 October 1916) which had been sunk by a German submarine off Newport, Rhode Island.
When the United States entered the war Balch sailed for European waters, arriving at Queenstown, Ireland 17 November 1917. She was assigned to the Queenstown Force and carried out convoy escort duties until 16 November 1918 when she departed Queenstown for the United States. Balch arrived at Norfolk, Virginia 1 January 1919 and was placed in ordinary.
She returned to duty with the Atlantic Destroyer Squadrons in the latter part of 1921 and cruised along the east coast until April 1922. She was placed out of commission in reserve at Philadelphia 20 June 1922. Her name was dropped 1 November 1933 and she was scrapped in 1935.

Testing Mitt Romney's seriousness on foreign policy
- By Daniel W. Drezner
Daniel W. Drezner is professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a senior editor at The National Interest. Prior to Fletcher, he taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Drezner has received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Harvard University. He has previously held positions with Civic Education Project, the RAND Corporation, and the Treasury Department.
Your humble blogger has been underwhelmed with Mitt Romney's foreign policy pronouncements to date. Sure, I thought what he was saying was far better than most of the rest of the GOP 2012 field, but that's like complimenting Moe on being the smart Stooge.
The past month or so have not helped matters. During this period, Romney has continued to harp on Obama's non-existent "apology tour", published an op-ed on China that the Hulk could have drafted, and labeled a dysfunctional and demographically dying state our number one geopolitical foe.
In fairness, the Romney campaign has a tough task. Obama's foreign policy has been far from perfect, but he's hit the key notes reasonably well. U.S. standing abroad has risen considerably, Osama bin Laden is dead, U.S. grand strategy has pivoted towards the most dynamic region in the world, and his Secretary of State is a badass texter. There are angles where Romney could try to hit Obama – the Iraq withdrawal, the planned drawdown in Afghanistan — except that the American public overwhelmingly endorses these moves. That ground is not fertile. This has reduced the Romney campaign to do little but shout "Iran is dangerous! Israel is getting thrown under the bus!!" a lot. The fact that the Obama White House seems delighted to highlight this stuff is not a good sign for the Romney folk.
This is a shame. Foreign policy might actually matter in this campaign, and it would be nice if there was a genuine debate. For that to happen, however, the Romney campaign needs to actually mount a substantive critique as opposed to a purely oppositional one. They need to seize on an issue and show how it represents the flaws of Obama's foreign policy approach.
Might I suggest North Korea? From today's New York Times front-pager by Mark Landler and Jane Perlez:
With North Korea poised to launch a long-range missile despite a widespread international protest, the Obama administration is trying to play down the propaganda value for North Korea's leaders and head off criticism of its abortive diplomatic opening to Pyongyang in late February….
[T]he administration's options are limited. The United States will not seek further sanctions in the United Nations Security Council, this official said, because North Korea is already heavily sanctioned and Washington needs to preserve its political capital with China and Russia to win their backing for future measures against Syria and Iran. The more likely scenario at the United Nations is a weaker statement from the Council president.
With North Korea telling reporters that it had begun fueling the rocket, the launching appeared imminent, confronting the Obama administration with a new diplomatic crisis after an agreement that American officials had hoped would open a new chapter with a traditionally hostile and unpredictable nation.
White House officials moved aggressively to deflect criticism of that deal, which offered North Korea food aid in return for a pledge to suspend work on its uranium enrichment program and to allow international inspectors into the country.
Unlike the administration of President George W. Bush, this official said, the Obama administration did not give the North Koreans anything before they violated the agreement by announcing plans to go ahead with the satellite launching. And, he added, the administration expects the North Koreans to abide by the other terms of the deal if it hopes, as it has said, for a fuller diplomatic dialogue.
Still, for President Obama, who prided himself on not falling into the trap of previous presidents in dealing with North Korea, the diplomatic dead end has been a frustrating episode: proof that a change in leadership in Pyongyang has done nothing to change its penchant for flouting United Nations resolutions, paying no heed to its biggest patron, China, and reneging on deals with the United States.
This is an issue that the Romney campaign should be all over. The administration's policy of "strategic patience" followed by "let's make a deal with Kim the Younger" has not worked well. The DPRK highlights the Obama administration's reluctance to talk tough with China and the ways in which its nonproliferation policy seems to be… troubled. This is taking place in the most strategically interesting part of the world. In other words, this is an issue where Obama's record has been radically imperfect and a solid critique should resonate. Sure, there's no magic solution or anything, but attacking Obama on this issue is at least a way for Romney to articulate exactly what he means when he signals his hawkishness.
So let's see how the Romney campaign responds. Disappointingly, North Korea was not even mentioned in the Romney foreign policy team's open letter to Obama, and it's nowhere on Romney's campaign blog. If that doesn't change by the end of this week, then I'll know I don't really need to take his foreign policy pronouncements all that seriously.
I'm daring you, Mitt Romney. I'm double-dog-daring you. Let's see if and your team have got the foreign policy goods or not.

Britain says it advised India on 1984 Golden Temple attack
Published on Feb 4, 2014 9:00 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Tuesday an official investigation had shown Britain did advise India on planning a deadly attack against Sikh separatists in the Golden Temple at Amritsar in 1984, but said its advice had limited impact.
Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a review into the matter last month after newly released official papers suggested that Margaret Thatcher, then prime minister, had sent an officer from the elite SAS special air service to advise the Indians on the raid.
"The nature of the UK's assistance was purely advisory, limited and provided to the Indian government at an early stage," Mr Hague told parliament. "It had limited impact on the tragic events that unfolded at the temple three months later."
There had been no link between the provision of this advice and British defence sales to India, Mr Hague added, and there was no record of Britain receiving advance notice of the attack.

Behavioral Triage: A New Model for Identifying and Treating Substance-Abusing Offenders
1Pepperdine University
Citation Information: Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Volume 3, Issue 1, ISSN (Online) 1941-2851, DOI: 10.2202/1941-2851.1014, February 2010
Publication History
- Published Online:
- 2010-02-05
Over the last decade there have been several large-scale efforts to leverage the law to encourage substance-abusing offenders to enter treatment. A routine practice has developed in most states in which offenders undergo an assessment for drug abuse or dependence, and based on their self-reported behavior, those deemed to have a substance use disorder are referred to treatment programs. The problem with applying the assessment-treatment model in correctional systems is that both components of this approach are seriously flawed. An alternative model, using regular random testing coupled with modest sanctions, relies on offender observed behavior rather than self report, to signal need for treatment services. Many offenders are able to desist from drug use without treatment. This reallocation of resources creates greater opportunity to provide more-intensive treatment services to those who really need it. This paper proposes replacing the traditional assess-and-treat approach with an alternative model that bases treatment decisions on observed behavior: the behavioral triage model.

QED: Quick, easy, done.
May 29, 2015
Straightforward service. Safe, simple, success. The property is convenient to suburban shopping areas, but also just a few blocks from the end of the Normal Blvd/Capitol Pkwy which gives it easy access to get downtown, to the capital area, and to UNL.
The BEST!!

Everything was just perfect!!!! From the minute we checked in, they checked on us.....any questions were answered right away. Staff we met on the elevator or hallway, always pleasant and friendly.
Nice room, but parking lot full of oversized trucks
May 26, 2015
The room was fairly nice. The kitchenette area and included utinsils were nice. The few pieces of furniture in the room were very scuffed up and looked old. Upon arrival, the lobby and main floor carpet was very dirty. Walking on it barefoot creeped me out because of the debris that stuck to my feet from the dirty carpet. The ice maker in the room only worked if you manually shook it. There was no pool either :-( I didn't realize this until I arrived. But the worst part of the stay was that there was some industrial company staying there and they had 6 or 7 very large, oversized vehicles that were completely congesting the parking lot. They took up so much space and were irregularly parked making it difficult to simply drive through. There is even a side parking lot that they could've used. But no, they parked in the main parking lot. I understand that you can't control people, but I feel like the hotel staff could've required them to park in the side lot.
May 25, 2015
Generally, neat and clean. We've always had a comfortable stay at this Candlewood Suites but, this time the recliner and desk chair in the suite were very shabby. We were surprised and dismayed. See photos. These pieces of furniture should have been replaced long before they came to their current condition.

rigging question
Hey guys I'm new to sailing got a 20 ft Newport holiday. the older gentleman I got it from never pushed the boat. this last weekend me and some buddies did push it when we were done I took down the mast and noticed I had broke the pop rivets on one side of the mast base. what would cause this and how can I keep it from happening again. We only had 15 to 20 knot winds.
Re: rigging question
What year is the boat? what type of rivets? I would thru bolt it if possible or replace rivets with larger ones to ensure they dont fail underway. Pictures would help.
Re: rigging question
Pics would help, but it sounds like you might be refering to rivets that hold the mast base that sleeves inside the mast section. If that is the case then the rivets should not be bearing any load. The rig tension should create enough compression to keep the mast firmly planted to the deck. If they sheared off it could be a result of ecessive rake or the mast leaning to leeward and trying to "slip off" the base which is presumably pinned to the deck at its pivot point.
Of course this is just speculation based on my experience with my last trailerable boat.
On my boat i drilled out the rivets, and then tapped the holes for machine screws. Through bolting is not necessary.
Re: rigging question
Yes that's exactly what it is. I'm a machinist by trade so I'll have no problem tapping the mast base. The boat is a 19.5 ft Newport holiday. When we had a load on the rig we had three grown men sitting on the high side and sailing close hauled the stay lines on the starboard and the port sides one was tight and one was very loose because of the load is this OK or do I need yo work on this also. Any help appreciated thanks. ( excuse my lack of sailing terms haven't had time to learn them all yet).
Re: rigging question
Typically your upper shouds should be tight enough so that under load the leeward shroud goes a bit slack but not floppy when the rig is loaded up.( A rigger friend of mine said they should go just loose enough that you could pull the pin out.) The lowers are less critical but using the same rule will ensure that the mast stays in column under load.
Re: rigging question
When you say shrouds is that what I'm calling stays just checking cause I'm not real sure and how can I pre set the tension on them and get them close to right
Re: rigging question
Sorry! Yes shrouds = stays!
You should have turnbuckles or something don't you? I am not familiar with your particular boat but it would be very unusual for a sail boat to have no means of adjusting stay tension. Perhaps if you have some pics?
Re: rigging question
Actually no it dosnt have any the shrouds just attach to the chain plate with a shackle. I knew it was missing something should it have a turn buckle on the forestay also. Thanks for all the info I just want to make this rig right

The state has released a final report on two high profile suicides by prison inmate earlier this year.
A guard at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution has resigned after the state found falsified logs documenting checks on a death row inmate who later committed suicide.
The union representing Ohio prison guards says the scope of a state-commissioned review on inmate suicides is too narrow and does not address the broader issues affecting the state's prison system.
State officials say one and possibly two prison guards falsified an electronic log documenting checks on a death row inmate who committed suicide days before his scheduled execution.
The state says a prison inmate has committed suicide, the third case of an Ohio prisoner killing himself in two months.
State prisons officials have placed two jail guards on leave as they investigate the suicide of an inmate who was scheduled to be executed earlier this week.
Just days before he was set to be executed, a condemned killer hanged himself at the prison in Chillicothe.
Ohio Governor John Kasich has rejected clemency for a condemned killer, despite Cuayhoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty's rare plea to commute his sentence to life without parole.
The Ohio Parole Board has recommended against clemency for a death row inmate convicted of killing a woman in her home in 1987.
Cuayhoga County prosecutors and defense attorneys are asking the Ohio Parole Board today to spare a death row inmate convicted of stabbing and killing a Cleveland woman in 1986 during a burglary at her home.

As the first reviewer noted, this is not gear bag size, it is duffle bag size. High quality construction, nice features. One end, ventilated for shoes has more of a "bag" than a wall between the shoe compartment and main compartment, this means you can stack two pair of shoes (or whatever) in there and zip them shut but it takes away from the interior compartment, no big deal. I actually fit my Fly Carbon F2 in there just for grins, it took up about 1/2 the whole bag though. The other end is a more conventional end section, good sized though, and the outside zippered accessory compartment runs pretty much the whole side length with 4 shallow mesh pockets inside. On the other side exterior is a mesh pocket you can stick a smaller water bottle into, or anything else to have it handy on the outside. Nice carry straps for both hands and shoulder.Read All Reviews

Nice thick material. Very durable. You can fit more in this bag than most other "string" bags ive owned. 5 stars for sure!Read All Reviews
DOUG in CA
It's a really nice size, but that's about all that was good. We looked for a long time, and never found a place for the bladder hose to exit, as was advertised. The waist strap also did not work, as one side did not have the right type of buckle, so it would never tighten. very disappointing TECH NOTE: BLADDER HOSE EXIT IS ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER STRAP.Read All Reviews

It's a water bottle, not made of titanium or carbon fiber or anything, but does the job to keep you from being thirsty!Read All Reviews
CALVIN in MD
I have no problems with the bag. I think that the straps that are provided with the bag are a little lacking. They tend to loosen over rough ground. I ended up taping the D-rings to keep it from loosening. Otherwise the bag seems thick and durable. It's not made in the US like Wolfman and Giant loop.Read All Reviews

Illini Ink: Women's Gymnastics Online Journal Week 8
Oct. 30, 2009
Get behind the scenes of Illinois Gymnastics with Illini Ink - the weekly women's gymnastics journal. In this year's eighth edition, freshman Abbie Leber talks about the great atmosphere on campus, the start of practice and excitement for the upcoming season.
Hey Illini Fans!
I can't believe it's already the last week in October! Time sure does fly around here. It's wild to think that we have already been here on campus over two months. It's been a very eventful last two months to say the least. We're constantly on the go doing something school or gymnastics related, but everything is very entertaining and rewarding.
There are so many amazing things that are happening here at Illinois, and I feel extremely blessed everyday that I am able to be a part of it. The family atmosphere of the team is exactly what I was wishing and hoping for when I was searching for a collegiate program. The team is always doing some activities that bring us closer as a team and as a new family.
We are making great strides in the gym, especially with the beginning of season fast approaching! We have started to put together routines on bars and beam and base routines on floor. I can already see and feel that the team is looking and practicing stronger and I can't wait till the season comes to put all our hard work into action.
We are all very excited for the home football game this weekend against Michigan and for Halloween! We have several team activities planned including dressing up in costume for practice. We have also been enjoying the nice weather the last few weeks which has been a nice change from the rainy cold weather we were having.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned to new updates and changes as we prepare for season in the coming weeks and remember GO ILLINI!

With the major success SilverStone's Raven series has experienced in the past, the RV03 has a lot to live up to. A full-tower on its side, the Raven 03 orients your motherboard to exhaust heat out the top, and as a result, makes installation an interesting process. Let's take a look and see if this gold-trimmed $130 offering hits its mark.
'Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting –
'Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! – quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'
While I can't guarantee an Edgar Allan Poe-like experience during the course of this review, I can guarantee an up-close-and-personal look at a raven; the Raven RV03 full-tower case from SilverStone to be precise. Available with or without a window, the Raven 3 picks up where the Raven 2 left off with another unique internal layout that supports micro-ATX, ATX and extended-ATX motherboards.
Fans of the Raven series will notice the gradual evolution of the exterior to what it has become today. The newest Raven tries to bring a little bit of refinement and flair to the nest by adding gold accents on each side of the plastic front panel that extend up and over the top, all the way to the back. This is a small but drastic departure from the all black scheme of the previous offerings.
At the very top is a frosted V-shaped plastic accent that glows white when the system is powered on. Below this are the power and reset buttons with seven 5.25″ drive covers taking up most of the front panel. The drive covers are two separate pieces and the solid front plate can be removed leaving a mesh insert for extra airflow.
For those who like a uniform exterior, the front plate of the drive bay cover can be used to stealth an optical drive or in order words, make it look like one is not installed. Behind the covers for the bottom six 5.25″ bays are two pre-installed 5.25″ to 3.5″ converters, which is a welcome feature since seven optical drives or fan controllers would just be silly.
Rounding out the front is the Raven logo towards the bottom that returns from the previous version.
On the left side of the case is a large trapezoid window that shows off the interior. The original Raven had the motherboard facing in this direction while the second had it flipped and facing towards the right. This time around, SilverStone has opted to go back to the original configuration. The only other point of interest is the angled vent at the bottom front corner for the power supply to exhaust warm air out of the system.
Due to the internal layout, which will be looked at shortly, the rear of the case is very plain with only a small opening at the top to route cables and double as a handle, a grill for mounting a 120mm fan and a small rectangular grill to the left.
Over on the right panel in the center is a grill to mount another 120mm fan to cool the back of the motherboard with a second angled vent towards the lower front. Again, due to the internal layout, a 25mm thick fan can be installed on this panel instead of a thin 15mm as found in many other cases. The extra thickness usually equates to more airflow, so this should help to keep temperatures down even further.
Up top at the front under a flip cover are two USB 3.0 ports and the 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks in between them. Connectivity for the USB ports is provided by two cables that connect to available USB ports on the motherboard I/O. If no USB 3.0 ports are available, the cables can be connected to USB 2.0 ports, but the front connections will operate at slower speeds and lower voltage.
Behind the top panel connections, hidden somewhat by the top cover is a two channel, two speed fan controller that controls the two bottom 180mm intake fans.
The rest of the top is taken up by the vented plastic cover. This hides all of the connections that would normally be found on the back of standard chassis. Since the cover is vented, it also allows warm air to be exhausted up and out of the case, taking advantage of its natural movement. In order to remove the side panels, the top cover needs to be removed by pulling up at the front and again on each side near the back. The thumbscrews holding the side panels can then be removed and the panels pulled up and away.
Flipping the case over shows off the four rubber pads attached to the moulded plastic feet that lift the Raven 3 well off the ground to provide extra air flow for the power supply and bottom fans. Both openings for these are covered over by two fan filters made of a plastic frame and wire mesh and held on by magnets meaning they can be easily removed from the left side without having to move or tip the case. Finally, in front of the forward filter is the recessed 3-prong power connection.
As is usually the case with SilverStone products, no matter how much is going on outside, there is tons of fun to be had on the inside, so let's look at the interior next and see what it is like to build in.
