From the Archive: As al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists gain ground in Iraq and Syria, U.S. neocons are eager to focus attention on President Obama's "failure" to militarily dominate the Mideast; otherwise, Americans might recall how this mess got started, as Robert Parry wrote on the Iraq War's tenth anniversary.
Tag Archive for George H.W. Bush
Unjust Aftermath: Post-Noriega Panama
Special Report: Twenty-four years ago, the United States invaded Panama to capture Gen. Manuel Noriega on drug charges. Operation Just Cause promised the country a new day free of dictatorship and drug-tainted corruption, but it didn't work out that way, as Jonathan Marshall describes.
Behind Colin Powell's Legend: Panama War
From the Archive: Though largely forgotten, the brief U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989 established key precedents that would reappear in later conflicts – from the Persian Gulf and Kosovo to Afghanistan and Iraq – policies shaped, in part, by Gen. Colin Powell, as Robert Parry and Norman Solomon wrote in 1996.
Contras, Dirty Money and CIA
From the Archive: On Dec. 20, 1989, President George H.W. Bush ordered the invasion of Panama to arrest Gen. Manuel Noriega on drug charges. The U.S. news media viewed the assault as a case of Bush seeking justice, but there was a darker back story of U.S. guilt, as Robert Parry reported in 1997.
Judge Leon's Dirty Climb to the Bench
Exclusive: Civil libertarians are cheering federal judge Richard Leon for his ruling against the NSA's massive surveillance program – and that's all to the good – but Leon's route to the bench followed a twisted course of partisan investigations and one historic cover-up, Robert Parry reports.
The Abject Failure of Reaganomics
Exclusive: House Republicans got next to nothing from their extortion strategy of taking the government and the economy hostage, but they are sure to continue obstructing programs that could create jobs and start rebuilding the middle class. What they won't recognize is the abject failure of Reaganomics, writes Robert Parry.
Dangerous Addiction to Secrecy
Exclusive: After decades of mutual suspicions, the U.S. and Iranian governments appear headed toward face-to-face contacts. But mutual trust still awaits truth-telling about important facts that defined the relationship — and that may require breaking a dangerous addiction to secrecy, says Robert Parry.
A CIA Hand in an American 'Coup'?
Special Report: The U.S. government decries leaks, but the other side of the story is that key chapters of American history are hidden from the public for decades and maybe forever. The CIA has just admitted its 1953 Iran coup and may never acknowledge a role in ousting Jimmy Carter in 1980, Robert Parry reports.
A Cold War Bias Toward Russia
President Obama and the mainstream U.S. press are blaming Russian President Putin for the breakdown in bilateral relations, but this simplistic view ignores the many U.S. government actions over the past two decades that have offended Moscow, as ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman describes.
How US Hubris Baited Afghan Trap
From the Archive: Even today – more than two decades after the Soviet Union disappeared – the Washington press corps views U.S.-Russian disputes through a one-way Cold War lens, with Moscow always at fault. But the reality is more complicated, as Robert Parry explained about Afghanistan in 2012.

No. 10 Wildcats whip McMurry, 51-0
ABILENE — Sophomore defensive end Nick Richardson had six of his team's nine sacks as 10th-ranked Abilene Christian University introduced McMurry University to NCAA Division II with a 51-0 win Saturday night in Shotwell Stadium.
Richardson's six sacks tied the ACU record set by James Henderson in 1997, and led a Wildcat defense that held McMurry to 301 total yards, all but 12 yards of it through the air, broke up six passes and recovered a fumble.
After a scoreless first quarter the Wildcats scored on seven straight possessions with Travis Tarver, Marcel Threat and Taylor Gabriel all scoring two touchdowns.
The Wildcats, who led 21-0 at the half, rolled up 461 yards of offense, helped by Gabriel's seven catches for 108 yards and Threat's 88 yards of rushing.
McMurry and ACU last played 41 years ago, but the crosstown rivalry featured 39 games from 1930-71, with ACU holding a 24-15 edge.
The Wildcats — who won their fifth straight season-opener — host longtime Lone Star Conference rival Texas A&M-Kingsville next Saturday at 6 p.m.
Blocked punt sparks Rams in 42-14 win
SAN ANGELO — The Angelo State Rams scored 35 unanswered points after being down 7-0 en route to a 42-14 victory over Western State at San Angelo Stadium in front of 6,433.
For the second straight year a special-teams player sparked the Rams as Jared Ross blocked a punt and Courtney Moore recovered it and took it in for a 10-yard touchdown.
The Rams accumulated 437 total yards while holding the Mountaineers to 175.
ASU quarterback Blake Hamblin threw for 335 yard and four touchdowns to pace the Rams.
UIW wins sloppy game over Steers
SAN ANTONIO —The first game of the 2012 season was a sloppy affair for University of the Incarnate Word, but the Cardinals prevailed 19-12 over visiting Texas College on Saturday night at Benson Stadium.
The Cardinals (1-0) never trailed in the game, but never led by more than seven points. They fumbled the ball seven times and the Steers (0-2) were able to recover three of them and turned them into a pair of touchdowns.
UIW outgained the Steers, 344-256, as they did the majority of their damage through the air. Zach Rhodes was 12-of-18 for 205 yards in his first start at quarterback.
Texas College quarterback Vincent McNeil was 13-of-22 passing for 120 yards and rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Savage Storm dominates Lions
COMMERCE —Southeastern Oklahoma State dominated in time of possession and wore down Texas A&M-Commerce Saturday night on the way to a 31-6 win over the Lions.
The Savage Storm held the ball for almost 40 minutes of the game and had a 17-0 lead before the Lions got on the board in the third quarter.
There was only one turnover in the game, but SOSU's Houston Slemp returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown.
Woodson leads Javs over C. Washington
KINGSVILLE —Jonathan Woodson rushed for 71 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns as Texas A&M-Kingsville dropped Central Washington 35-7 Saturday night.
The Javelinas were outgained 352-302 offensively, but the Wildcats lost four turnovers — two fumbles and two interceptions — while the home team played turnover-free ball.

More Vallecito Road Construction Detonations On The Way
VALLECITO – As part of U.S. Forest Service construction on a new road south of the dam at Vallecito, explosives will again be used on Tuesday, July 9th and Wednesday, July 10th between 10 and 11 a.m. each day.
Blasting will be conducted in accordance with a U.S. Forest Service site safety plan, in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation. During each detonation, Forest Road 603 on the east side of the reservoir between Old Tymers Campground and the dam, as well as the road across the dam, will be closed. The public should also expect delays of up to an hour on Forest Road 603 following each operation to allow for debris to be removed.
Later this year, the new paved road will connect County Road 501 to Forest Road 603 via a new bridge completed last year by the Forest Service to span the spillway. An environmental assessment for the project was completed in 2004 by the Bureau of Reclamation, which owns the reservoir and dam, while the Forest Service holds the easement for public access.
For more information, contact Allen McCaw, San Juan National Forest Civil Engineer, 970 385-1314.

June 25
SMART TV ON TOP OF TRUCK: On the listed date and time, a deputy was traveling east bound on W. St. Rt. 571 approaching Wheelock Rd. and observed a vehicle traveling at a speed greater than the posted speed limit of 45 mph. The deputy turned on the radar and confirmed the visual observation and observed the vehicle to be traveling at 63 mph. The suspect vehicle passed by the deputy's location and did not slow down. The deputy was able to catch up to the vehicle at W. State Route 571 and Iddings Rd. Dispatch was advised of the trafic stop and of the three occupants.
The deputy approached the vehicle and observed a large object strapped to the roof. The deputy made contact with the driver Ricky Johnson and asked him if he knew why the deputy was stopping him. He stated that he was probably driving too fast and he was going about 60 mph. The deputy asked for identification for Mr. Johnson and he handed the deputy a state issued ID card. Mr. Johnson advised the deputy that he was driving because his girlfriend was too sick to drive. The deputy observed a female who did not appear to be sick sitting in the back seat. The deputy asked for her ID and Ricky handed it to the deputy. The deputy asked the front seat passenger for his ID and he stated that he did not have any. The deputy asked him for his name and he stumbled and said James. The deputy asked for his last name and he stated Dotson without any problems. Mr. Dotson did not know his social security number and when the deputy asked his birthday he forgot which date it was. He first gave the date of March 16, 1978 and then March 17, 1978. Mr. Dotson seemed very nervous while the deputy was speaking with him. The occupants of the car stated that they were taking a TV to sell it to a guy in Union. They stated that it was a 70 inch Smart TV and that there were selling it for $600.00.
The deputy returned back to the cruiser and ran Ricky and Ashley and were able to locate them in the data system. The deputy attempted to locate James J. Dotson and did not have any success. The deputy had dispatch look through the data systemfor a James J. Dotson with both date of births and they were able to locate a Michael Dotson born March 1, 1978 that lived in DeGraff. This was the same location that James told the deputy he lived in.

She said the child had been at the park for over an hour. When the citizen arrived the child was sitting on a bench by the road. The citizen attempted to speak with the child but she would not talk back. The citizen kept an eye on the child until the deputy arrived.
As the deputy walked towards the shelter a boy rode off on his bike. There were four or five teenage children in the shelter. None of the children knew the child. The deputy attempted to speak with the child. She would not acknowledge me. The deputy asked the child to walk to her house with them. She would not respond. The other children did say the boy who left on his bike was the child's brother. Some of the teenage boys present went to look for the boy. They came back a short time later. The boy did say the child was his sister and told him what her name was. The deputy asked the boy to get the girl to go home with him. She would not. Two of the teenage girls present volunteered to carry the girl home. We followed the boy to Clay St. This was three or four blocks from the park.

The deputy contacted dispatch to have the warrant confirmed. The warrant for Jeffrey Warner was confirmed out of Allen County and he was transported to the county jail without incident.

Think BR: How brands can execute a global campaign using mobile
By Sarah Cantillion, brandrepublic.com, Monday, 30 July 2012 08:00AM
When it comes to mobile, one size certainly does not fit all, writes Sarah Cantillion, client services director, Movement.
SMS, mobile web, apps, mobile advertising; what's right for your target audience? When you throw a global campaign into the mix, a host of new challenges emerge.
While many might expect a mobile campaign to be led by new developments in mobile technologies, in fact almost the opposite is true; the real key to success is creativity.
What works best in one country with a certain technological profile may be impossible in another, and as such the most successful campaigns are those based on a great idea that transcends technology.
Once an idea is in place, brands should then look for the best way to augment it, driving engagement across a global mobile landscape made up of low, mid and high tech mobile markets.
The practical execution of a global mobile campaign starts in the same way as any other marketing initiative - with planning and preparation. Firstly, assess the mobile landscape in each of the target countries.
The methodology behind this will depend on the data available but it should cover factors such as penetration of smartphone devices, tendency to browse the internet on a mobile and whether your audience downloads apps or uses entertainment features.
While there are certainly country to country differences, data is more easily segmented by technology rather than country, covering the low, mid and high tech markets. This can then be imprinted over the various regions that the brand is targeting.
Mobile and social often work hand-in-hand on global campaigns, acting as a conduit to one another, and each country's social media profile will be different.
The global social landscape is changing rapidly - whether it's the growing dominance of Facebook in the UK, the astronomical rise of Pinterest in the US or the popularity of Weibo in China. Understanding each target audience's use of social will be crucial to raising awareness around any mobile campaign.
There are also a number of key checkpoints to cover when planning a global mobile campaign. If you're using SMS, organise shortcodes so that they are ready for activation.
Brands also need to understand and prepare for integration if required - whether desktop, social, above the line or out of home, any issues need to be picked up and resolved early on.
Of course, with global campaigns, translation also becomes an issue. Will the campaign run only in English or offer key languages/defaults?
Issues start to arise when languages like Hebrew, with a different alphabet written right to left, come into play, which could potentially cause huge problems if it hasn't been considered and prepared for beforehand both in terms of the creative and technical execution.
The wider execution of a global campaign might be managed by a global agency, but often the implementation at a local level will be the responsibility of local agencies.
In a recent global mobile campaign, we approached the local management of a campaign by creating a flexible activation tool kit, where local markets could dial up or dial down any campaign element depending on their technological profile, and still have a really rich, thorough programme that could run successfully.
It can make sense to offer a holistic approach - while the SMS, mobile web and app bundle will deliver the ultimate experience when combined, each element also works alone.
However, regardless of local approaches the campaign still needs to be managed from a global standpoint, ensuring execution, timing and messaging remains consistent across all markets.
Of course, there may be a good reason for a homogenous approach, so it's never ruled out, but it's essential to always come back to what the brand is looking to achieve, ensuring the campaign is acutely appropriate to each market and that the mechanics you're asking the consumer to engage through match the tools they have to hand.
Remember that when planning mobile for global, things are not straightforward. Multiple platforms need to be considered - base your campaign around an app, for example, and you may exclude half the target audience; just use SMS and you may miss out on engaging at a deeper level via links to mobile web.
A successful campaign will take each market and its own internal demographics into account, because mobile performs best when it is most relevant to the consumer engaging in the channel.

Activity and Interests
Lighthouse Point is a small town that wishes to remain so. The leisurely lifestyle appeals to its residents and they have no need to be concerned about future expansion. Tucked in among many water ways, it cannot expand. Any worry about the threat of amalgamation into a larger entity is being diminished by preserving city certification.
Characterized by informal affluence and a leisurely pace, the attractive neighborhoods are very quiet, tree shaded, and water-laced. Of the residences, 80% are single family homes, many of which front on the City's 18 miles of waterways.
The east door of Lighthouse Point opens to the Intracoastal Waterway, sitting under the beam of the famed Hillsboro Lighthouse which has stood constant guard over the Hillsboro Inlet since 1906 and for which the City is named. Federal Highway, with its shopping centers, restaurants, and other business establishments, is the west door. Approximately 20 acres of parks and mini-parks and 13 miles of sidewalks/bike paths symbolize the nature of community life. Streets wind and twist and there are many cul-de-sacs.
Police and fire protection are excellent and the City successfully operates its own library. Recreation amenities include the Lighthouse Point Tennis Center and Dan Witt Park for playing sports, in addition to natural environment parks and mini-parks.
Within walking distance: tennis courts, playground, picnic areas
* A 5min drive to the beach
* Very close to many restaurants, shopping malls and movie theaters
* Do you Enjoy Golf: there are numerous public and semi-private golf courses only minutes away for all levels of play
* Do you enjoy going out: convenient to Mizner Park in Boca Raton, etc...
* Centrally located:
- Disney World and other top destinations are 3 hours north
- Florida Keys are 3 hours south
- Gulf Coast is 3 hours west

"Stinkin', Rotten, Horrible, No Good Day" reflection
This chapter is about getting a handle on food during the hard times. That is probably my biggest challenge...not running for the chocolate or chips or cookies or popcorn, or apple crisp or doughnuts or .....any poor choice when needing comfort for my stress or hormones or emotions.
I loved what Lysa shared from Ruth Graham's book, "Fear Not Tomorrow, God is Already There, when she quoted, "Either we can be victimized and become victims, or we can be victimized and rise above it. Often it is easier to play the victim than to take off our masks and ask for help. We get comfortable with our victim status. It becomes our identity and is hard to give up. The Israelites often played the victim card and I love what God finally tells them, 'You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north!' (Deu. 2:3) Turn north! It's time to move on! Self-pity, fear, pride, negativity paralyze us. Taking off our masks takes courage, but if we don't do it, we will remain in our victim status and end up stunted."
Boy, ain't that the truth!!! I fell into that victimization...I'm hypothyroid, I'm too tired, I'm too fat, I have fibromyalgia, I have fat genes, I'm too busy being a wife, mother, homeschool mom, Sunday School teacher, etc, etc, etc. I can't, I can't, I can't.
I turned north and have made HUGE changes in my life all for the better----just this past week I was able to go mushroom hunting and fishing with my family. A year ago, I couldn't. I have my life back!
HOWEVER, if I don't get a handle on the emotional eating side, I know all the hard work over the past 11 1/2 months will disappear. It might take 2-3 years, but those 69 lbs (so far!) will come back and bring an extra 10-15 lbs with them just for the fun of it!
I love Romans 8. There is SOOOO much in that 1 chapter! Lysa quoted Romans 8:26 to teach what kinds of prayer is useful in getting a handle on those stinkin, rotten, horrible, no good days. "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."
Be still and sit with the Lord. Then you'll be able to discern the changes needed to be made to your responses to your circumstances--none of which include using food for comfort.
So, Heidi, STOP CIRCLING THE MOUNTAIN (self-pity, turning to food response) AND HEAD NORTH (towards lasting changes)!!!!!!! Fill up on God's truths.

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti denies they made a move for Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola in the summer.
Reports were suggesting that the two men spoke while Guardiola was in Italy to watch former club Brescia take on Ascoli in Serie B.
"I didn't meet Guardiola," stated Moratti. "Absolutely not. I've been asked about this story, but it is not true."
Pouring more cold water on that kind of speculation is Brescia chief Gino Corioni, the man who signed Guardiola as a player a decade ago.
"I really don't think that a marriage with Inter is on the cards right now," Corioni told FC Inter News on Tuesday.
"Pep is happy at Barcelona. I can exclude his arrival in Italy. Obviously you can never say never in football, but I think it would be difficult to see him leave Barcelona."

Hundreds rally for Mo. teen in sex assault case
Wednesday - 10/23/2013, 11:52am EDT
Associated Press
MARYVILLE, Mo. (AP) -- A day after a Jackson County prosecutor was named to re-investigate a northwest Missouri teen sexual abuse case, a modest crowd of a few hundred people braved chilly conditions Tuesday night to show support for a girl whose story has drawn worldwide attention.
The rally on Maryville's courthouse square was organized over the Internet by a women's rights activist from the Kansas City area who used social media to garner support for Daisy Coleman, who said she was 14 when a 17-year-old boy gave her alcohol and sexually assaulted her in January 2012.
Daisy's story generated new attention and an outpouring of responses on social media following a Kansas City Star investigation. The family also spoke out earlier this summer to Kansas City radio station KCUR.
The story struck a nerve when Nodaway County prosecutor Robert Rice dropped felony charges against the alleged assailant and a second 17-year-old who recorded the incident on his cellphone. Rice has said the family stopped cooperating, which the family denies, and that there was not enough evidence to move forward with the case.
The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual assault but is naming Daisy because she and her mother have been granting public interviews about the case. The AP is not naming the two who had been accused in the case because there are no active charges against them.
Rice last week asked for a special prosecutor to take a new look at the case, and Jean Peters Baker on Monday was given that assignment.
More than 2,300 people indicated on the Facebook page for the "Justice for Daisy" rally that they were attending. But 10 minutes before the scheduled 6 p.m. start, there appeared to be as many media members and law enforcement officers as there were rally participants.
Portable toilets were set up on the north and south sides of the courthouse, while the streets on all sides were roped off in preparation for a crowd that organizers thought might reach into the thousands because of the publicity the case has received.
But the crowd stayed relatively small, with some attendees sporting Northwest Missouri State University jackets.
Courtney Cole, who organized the event over social networks and got a boost from the Internet hacker group Anonymous, said she wasn't bothered by the modest turnout and pointed to the dozens of reporters scattered around the gathering conducting interviews.
"Even a small turnout is OK," she said. "Just moving the case along makes it a success."
Cole and three other speakers stood at a podium on the northeast corner of the square and used a bullhorn to get their message out that sexual abuse of women is not acceptable. The bulk of their messages was drowned out by a Kansas City news helicopter that hovered overhead during most of the event, which Cole acknowledged when she asked participants to wave their daisies overhead.
A second podium set up on the southeast corner of the courthouse for a possible counter-rally to show support for the accused boys stood unused. The heavy law enforcement presence, including roughly two dozen Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers, was in place though the event remained tranquil.
Sarah Kellison, 27, of Shenandoah, Iowa, said read the Star story after a friend posted it on Facebook and it struck a chord because of similar abuse she suffered as a child.
"When I was 16 I was taken advantage of and that was very difficult for me," she said. "I didn't tell my friends or family. When I read the story about Daisy, she had the courage at 14 to have her name printed, to come out and say what happened to her."
Nodaway County commissioners decided last week to close the county's administration building and courthouse Tuesday because of the event. Sheriff Darren White said Tuesday after the rally that he would rather overprepare for an emotionally tinged gathering rather than be caught off-guard if trouble would have started.
Melinda Coleman, Daisy's mother, issued a statement Monday night praising Maryville, the school district and even coaches of the two people who had been accused in case for supporting her family.
Neither Coleman nor her daughter attended the rally.

Indiana University President Michael McRobbie stated in his 2012 university address that he shares the public's concerns over college affordability.
If McRobbie is truly concerned about college affordability, why has he continually accepted extravagant pay increases? According to the IU Salary Database, during the 2007-2008 school year McRobbie made $400,000. For the 2008-2009 school year, McRobbie made $425,000. And during the 2012-2013 school year, McRobbie is making $544,848 a year base salary. Comparatively, the president of the United States makes $400,000.
But it's not just the university president who is being granted lavish tuition and tax-funded pay increases. Professors throughout the IU system are receiving thousands of dollars in salary raises every year. These officials should feel guilty about the university's system of exploiting students for their own financial gain.
Author and renowned financial adviser Peter Schiff has explained that universities have been able to raise tuition substantially because of federally backed student loans, which place more of the repayment burden on the taxpayer. As a result, public universities no longer have to keep tuition low, which allows its administrators to grant lavish salaries to its privileged employees.

The Ca phenotype maps to a central region of the viral RNA encoding nonstructural proteins, suggesting that the block to replication in wild-type P1/Mahoney is past the stage of cell entry— possibly RNA replication, proteolytic processing, or even assembly. In support of this hypothesis, when the entry steps are bypassed by transfection of viral RNA into cells, ca viral RNA replicates at 25°C, but wt RNA does not.
These results suggest that the formation of 135S particles is not required for poliovirus replication. The altered particle might be a stable end product that is readily detected; the true intermediate in RNA uncoating might be an earlier particle, perhaps less stable than 135S particles, that represents a less-drastic PVR-induced conformational change. The ability to study a productive poliovirus infection at 25°C, in the absence of 135S particle formation, should enable the identification of such structural changes. We are left with the question of why so many nonfunctional 135S particles are formed. The answer is not known, but 135S particle formation has been studied mainly in cultured cells; in vivo, where the accessibility and/or level of cell receptors might be limited, fewer A particles may be generated.
To fully understand how the poliovirus-PVR interaction initiates cell entry, a detailed picture of how the virus and receptor combine is required. Ultimately, resolution of a virus-receptor complex will be needed, but the results of genetic analyses have provided some insight into the interaction. The binding site for poliovirus appears to be contained within domain 1, which can bind poliovirus when expressed on the cell surface either alone or linked to other domains from CD4, the intracellular cell adhesion molecule ICAM-1, or MPH (for review, see ref. 16). Virus does not bind as well to domain 1 as it does to native PVR, suggesting that domains 2 and 3 contribute to the interaction, either directly or by influencing the structure of domain 1. Several laboratories have mutagenized PVR domain 1 to identify the putative contact point, and the results show that three main sites are important for poliovirus binding (Fig. 1): (i) the C-C′ loop through the C″ strand, (ii) the border of the D strand and the D-E loop, and (iii) the G strand. A mutation at the beginning of the F strand also reduces virus binding, probably by altering domain structure. Mutagenesis of other loops and strands has not revealed other regions that are important for binding.
These studies indicate that the C′-C″ ridge is likely to be the main part of PVR that contacts poliovirus. The homologous part of CD4 plays a major role in the interaction with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (for review, see ref. 18). The D-E loop of domain 1 may also contact poliovirus, but the G strand is more distant and not likely to be directly involved with the binding site. Consistent with this hypothesis is the observation that substitution of PVR residues 70–100, which contains the C′-C″ ridge (Fig. 1) into the corresponding region of MPH produces a chimeric receptor that can be recognized by type 1 but not types 2 and 3 poliovirus (Y.Lin and V.R.R., unpublished data). This result suggests that the poliovirus binding site on PVR is contained with this 30-amino acid segment, although contribution of conserved MPH residues to poliovirus binding cannot be excluded. The three serotypes of poliovirus contact PVR slightly differently, a conclusion also drawn from studies of a G-strand mutation (Fig. 1) that abrogates binding of types 1 and 2 but not type 3 poliovirus (19).
When the three-dimensional structures of rhinovirus and poliovirus were solved, a 1.2-nm-deep 1.5-nm-wide channel was noted surrounding the prominent peak at the fivefold axis of symmetry of the particle (6, 20). This channel was called the canyon and was proposed to be the receptor binding site for rhinovirus 14 (20). A model of the interaction of HRV-16 with its soluble receptor, ICAM-1, indicates that ICAM-1 does bind in the canyon (21). Evidence that the canyon is the receptor binding site in poliovirus comes from the study of two types of viral mutants: soluble receptor resistant (srr) mutants and viruses adapted to utilize mutant PVRs. Detergent-solubilized PVR expressed in insect cells converts poliovirus to 135S particles, neutralizing its infectivity (13). Poliovirus mutants resistant to neutralization with soluble PVR have been selected that possess a range of binding defects to PVR (22, 23). Each srr mutant contains a single mutation, located on the surface or the interior of the capsid. The surface mutations (Fig. 2) are located in the canyon and may form part of the contact site for PVR. Mutation at any one of eight residues decreases the binding affinity of poliovirus for PVR, indicating that multiple points in the virus-receptor interface contribute to binding. Mutations at internal capsid residues also reduce binding affinity. These residues are not likely to contact the receptor directly but may affect the ability of the virus to bind to PVR with high affinity by altering the flexibility of the capsid. The proximity of several of the internal mutations near a hydrocarbon binding pocket that appears to contain sphingosine (24) is consistent with this hypothesis. This pocket is believed to regulate the ability of the capsid to undergo receptor-mediated structural transitions (24).

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The candidates in the race to replace David Wu in Congress in the 1st District faced off Tuesday night in a live televised debate at KGW Studios.
The debate was co-sponsored by The Oregonian and KGW NewsChannel 8.
The local and national economy was the primary focus of the candidates. Responding to a question about infrastructure as part of a jobs plan, Bonamici said she would work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come up with state portions of funding, and rebuilding the electrical grid.
She added a jobs plan would include getting capital to job creators and ending the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and creating more job training.
Cornilles noted the Oregon unemployment rate has been above the national average for 15 straight years and said Congress was preventing people from making hiring and investment decisions in the private sector because of new and burdensome regulations.
Cornilles, responding to a question regarding an ad accusing him of evading taxes, said a new bookkeeper neglected to pay payroll taxes in 2006 and, when he discovered the error he contacted the IRS and paid the taxes in full within 90 days.
Health care reform was also brought up in the debate. Bonamici said when people have access to affordable health care they can get preventative outcomes and stop spending federal dollars on products that don t make people healthy.
Privatization will not reduce costs for seniors, she added.
Cornilles responded that he thought the Affordable Care Act aimed to provide access, but didn t do anything to cut down costs. My opponent has distanced herself from Sen. Ron Wyden s plan to reform Medicare, Cornilles added.
When asked if stories about Rep. Wu's behavior raised alarm bells, Bonamici said: Wu is gone from office. He needed to resign. I was preparing to run against him when he resigned.
Cornilles countered that Bonamici s husband was Wu s attorney for many years, and Cornilles asserted that they were involved with the Democratic party in an effort to hide stories of Wu s sex scandal.
The two agreed they both opposed passing the Stop Online Piracy Act. They also agreed on reforming Social Security without privatizing the program.
On the topic of illegal immigration, Cornilles said he did not believe in amnesty for illegal immigrants, nor mass deportation. Bonamici said she supported cracking down on traffickers and having a pathway to citizenship for those who are here.
In her closing statement, Bonamici said we need Congress to stop playing politics and do its job, adding my record in the Oregon Legislature isn't long, but it's strong. Bonamici said she would protect a woman's right to choose, would not privatize Medicare, and would fight to support local jobs.
Republican Rob Cornilles emphasized his experience as a small businessman who had created jobs, and challenged Bonamici's experience in the world of business. He also challenged viewers of the debate to show bipartisanship when they voted, saying it was time for a change in Washington.
It was the last televised debate before the January 31st special election.
NewsChannel 8 anchor Tracy Barry moderated the debate. The debate included three rounds of questioning. The candidates fielded questions from Jeff Mapes, the senior political reporter for The Oregonian, and from Laural Porter, KGW anchor and host of the current affairs show, Straight Talk.
Candidates also answered questions from the public posted on the KGW Facebook page and The Oregonian Facebook page. And, they questioned each other.
David Wu resigned his seat in Congress this summer after a series of controversies over his conduct.
More than 800,000 people live in Oregon s First Congressional District.

Toying with the idea of moving stuff to Linux
Well I've got the Athlon 64 up and running, as I mentioned previously, and pretty much I need another hard drive (getting kinda small), and could use newer RAM. Being a university student, who's financial aid has run out, and being in my last semester at one of the colleges leaves money quite tight however.
Anyhow, giving:
- My mobo that wouldn't work with Linux has been upgraded
- Linux support, though it might still have a ways to go (to have the same level of compatibility one might find with Windows) has come a long way in 5 or so years
- After several years on a computer networking major (and having now taken all the classes that would amount to a Linux certification); I'd feel more confident doing some things today, then I had several years ago
I'm sorta toying with the idea of switching. On the other hand, I haven't seen Longhorn (or Vista now), and might decide to upgrade from XP. Hmm...
Anyhow, I decided to take a look, and see if things could be made to work. As such, I'm pulling the ISO's for slamd64, which is a port of Slackware, but recompiled with x86-64 support
I'm keeping the Windows install on my primary hard drive, though moved my data to it. My secondary hard drive is ready to be formatted so it can dual boot; assuming this mobo doesn't give the same issues with Linux as my nForce 1 board did.
So I figure I'll need to set this up, then grab the nForce Linux drivers for the nForce 3 Ultra chipset, and then the Radeon drivers from ATI's site for my graphics card, and then apply them.
Of course, however one of the first things to test for those of us here (who game that is), is something like transgaming...as for the forseeable future people would still need to be able to run Windows games (and apps, though mostly games) under Linux.
Has someone compiled transgaming before to know if there's anything else I'll need to do after this to get things running? And plz don't say compile GTK+ as I had to do that for a class project so I could install ettercap to test the honey pot I'm making; and I still haven't got around the problems with it (though I did get passed the glib version x detected, but version y present) only to get Pango compilation probs...

Consider the longest path problem for directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where a mutually independent random variable is associated with each of the edges as its edge length. Given a DAG G and any distributions that the random variables obey, let F MAX(x) be the distribution function of the longest path length. We first represent F MAX(x) by a repeated integral that involves n − 1 integrals, where n is the order of G. We next present an algorithm to symbolically execute the repeated integral, provided that the random variables obey the standard exponential distribution. Although there can be Ω(2 n ) paths in G, its running time is bounded by a polynomial in n, provided that k, the cardinality of the maximum anti-chain of the incidence graph of G, is bounded by a constant. We finally propose an algorithm that takes x and ε> 0 as inputs and approximates the value of repeated integral of x, assuming that the edge length distributions satisfy the following three natural conditions: (1) The length of each edge (v i ,v j ) ∈ E is non-negative, (2) the Taylor series of its distribution function F ij (x) converges to F ij (x), and (3) there is a constant σ that satisfies \(\sigma^p \le \left|\left(\frac{d}{dx}\right)^p F_{ij}(x)\right|\) for any non-negative integer p. It runs in polynomial time in n, and its error is bounded by ε, when x, ε, σ and k can be regarded as constants.

PREVIEW: San Diego-raised Adam Lambert comes home again with first solo tour
"The main fan base I was exposed to were mostly middle-aged women, like from 40 to 60, and they've been so sweet and so great with this amazing, almost maternal-type energy," Lambert said. "But at the shows, I've been really surprised to see teenagers, both female and male. I've seen husbands. I've seen grandpas. I've seen a mix of men and women ---- and different ethnicities. You know, it's really exciting."
The tour continues through the fall and then heads overseas, a market that accounts for a third of Lambert's record sales.
The future
He'll start work on a new record next year and his wish list includes working again with Max Martin (who co-wrote "Whataya Want From Me") and perhaps a collaboration with some of his own idols, Christina Aguilera and David Bowie. He's also expressed an interest in appearing on one of his favorite TV shows, the HBO vampire saga "True Blood."
Eber Lambert said the near-constant traveling and promotion have taken a toll on his son. Adam came home exhausted from a European promotional tour last spring and has privately lamented the loss of privacy and "hangout time" with his friends.
"I don't think he realized how much work it would be," Eber Lambert said. "That's what he told the 'American Idol' contestants this year when he was mentoring them ---- how it doesn't stop. 'You think this is tough? Just wait.' He once said, 'I wish I was back on "Idol," where I could just hang around the mansion and sing once a week.'"
One 'Idol' alumnus who shares Lambert's opinion is 2007 season winner Jordin Sparks.
"I would have to agree with Adam," Sparks said in an e-mail interview last month. "It's actually a lot more work than people think. I would say about 10 percent of it is actually the red carpets and free stuff. The other 90 percent is traveling, meetings, interviews, recording, writing, rehearsing, marketing, not getting any sleep and missing your family. Loneliness creeps in sometimes."
This sort of pressure-cooker lifestyle has cracked up many artists or led them to cope with drugs and alcohol. But don't expect this to happen to Lambert. Corey said she's sure Lambert will handle the career demands well. His rock-solid reputation for stability, reliability and consistency is what kept him an understudy in "Wicked" for so long.
"Not many people can be a good understudy," she said. "Everyone knew Adam was great. When he finally went on and he hit those notes in the stratosphere, oh my God, everybody just froze and listed for a moment in amazement. But when you're Old Reliable, they don't move you up because it's hard to find people that can do two parts at once."
Lambert said he does get run-down sometimes, but once he hits the stage each night, he's re-energized by the fans, who can be heard in YouTube videos shrieking at his every hip swivel, shoulder shrug and booty shake (along with an occasional replay of the infamous boy-on-boy kiss).

Friday April 18, 2008
SINGAPORE: Malaysia and Singapore will accept whatever decision of the International Court of Justice in the Hague on Pulau Batu Putih in the Johor Straits.
"Whatever is the decision, we will accept it," Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo and his Malaysian counterpart Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said yesterday.
"We both agreed that if Malaysia were to win, Singapore would congratulate Malaysia, and if Singapore were to win, Malaysia would congratulate Singapore," Yeo told a media conference after Rais called on him at his office.
Rais, who is on an introductory visit to Singapore since his appointment as the new Foreign Minister, earlier met Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Istana.
Yeo said the judgment on Pedra Banca (as Singaporeans call Pulau Batu Putih) would likely be made by the ICJ in the middle or end of next month and the outcome would not affect bilateral relations of the two countries.
"Nothing should change," Yeo said, adding that this was the common position that both countries agreed to take and declare it to all Malaysians and Singaporeans.
He said the lighthouse to whoever it belonged to would continue to provide valuable facilities to all navigators.
Both countries have put their claims on the rocky outcrop which had been developed into a lighthouse for sea route navigation into the straits during the colonial era.
On his visit to Singapore, Rais said the visit was very important between the two friendly countries which needed to further step up their close ties.
Rais, who was accompanied by Malaysian High Commissioner to Singapore Datuk N. Parameswaran on his one-day visit, later met Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew at the Istana and Deputy Prime Minister Prof S. Jayakumar at his office. – Bernama

Kathleen Horan, Reporter, WNYC News
Kathleen Horan is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio, covering the neighborhood beat. She also reports 'Reset', an ongoing series documenting police-community relations in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The wake for the 20-year-old Bronx bodega worker who was shot and killed by a police last week while fleeing an armed robbery will be held Tuesday in Washington Heights as the family of the young father pushes for an independent probe into his death.
Reynaldo Cuevas was shot last Friday when he bolted out of Aneury's Deli. Police say he ran into an officer whose gun accidentally discharged when the two became entangled. But Cuevas's relatives believe that he was shot after he hit the ground.
Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson has not said whether he would impanel a grand jury to determine if the officer would be charged in the case, but his office said they will pursue a separate investigation from the NYPD.
"We are taking this matter seriously and are looking for a just result," spokesman Melvin Hernandez said.
The suspects who held up the bodega Cuevas was working at have been charged with murder in addition to robbery.
Sanford Rubenstein, a lawyer representing the family, said additional surveillance footage from the scene obtained by the family has raised questions not yet answered by the police. The NYPD released footage to the public last week.
"The question becomes, 'How does someone accidently pull a trigger?'" Rubenstein said.
Professor John Eterno, a former NYPD captain, said it's possible but rare to discharge a weapon without intending to -- especially since the 1990s when the department switched from revolvers to glocks as its main service weapon.
Weapons are now modified so that about 12 pounds of pressure is needed to pull the trigger for every shot, he said.
"The difference is cutting an orange with a dull knife versus a sharp knife" Eterno said. "The difference is great."
The last time charges were filed against an officer for the shooting death of a civilian was in February, also in the Bronx, in the shooting death of 18-year-old Ramarley Graham.
The wake for Reynaldo Cuevas will be held from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ortiz Funeral Home.
His funeral will be held later this week in the Dominican Republic, where his daughter and other family members live.
Rubenstein wants the cop charged because the city has deep pockets, the true cause, the two robbers, have no money to dip into.
Maybe its karma I mean he left the gate open for soap something sounds fishy maybe it wad an inside job

NCAA Division I College Basketball Team
There's no place like home when you're the Kansas Jayhawks – they have won 56 games in a row, going back to last season, the longest active streak in Division I College Basketball. This team is a legitimate basketball powerhouse, and they're playing like one too. Winning the last 12 straight, Coach Bill Self has his team right where he wants them going into the postseason.
There are very good reasons why most sports analysts have ranked Kansas No. 1 for much of the season. Because of their vaunted position, and the fact that it's Kansas basketball, everyone from their star player down to the water boy endures loads of critical attention. Recently, super guard Sherron Collins has been getting plenty of heat for slumping offensively even though his averages would scare anyone not from Kansas. He is undeniably the team leader, and Coach Self is rightly sticking with him despite thousands of unsolicited advisers. Meanwhile, all the focus on Collins has allowed his teammate in the backcourt, Xavier Henry, to break out from his shadow. Henry averages another 14 points a game, often much more when Collins is off-the-mark, making sure to frequently cause havoc in the lane. The big guy in the middle is Cole Aldrich, who comes out his games this season averaging a double-double. Aldrich cleans up the boards on both sides of the court and never gets caught jogging into position.
Undefeated in Big 12 Conference play, Kansas is quick on transition and dangerous on execution. They have depth on the bench – their first five off the bench could start on most NCAA teams. Even more scary, Kansas won the whole thing two years ago. Remember Mario Chalmers' last-second three to take the team into overtime? If you don't here's the video. It's moment's like these that make it all worth watching.

Likes to run with scissors!
Before it was ruined by MTV and ESPN, I used to run with the bulls every summer in Pamplona. In those days, before the Internet, Pamplona was more of a myth than something you found in a guidebook. My summers in Spain are another story for another time but what got me thinking about Pamplona was some advice given to me by a British chap named John Cleary. It was John - a three decade veteran of the Fiesta de San Fermin - who taught me everything I know about bull running and it's fair to say that over the years he grew to understand the "essence" of who I was (am) better than anyone else except maybe my parents. Or maybe it was the testosterone and sangria talking. I've never quite figured that one out. At any rate, during a particularly spirited evening of revelry (and after being brilliantly shot down by a local Basque girl at a make shift sangria stand) John leaned over, wagged his finger, and slurred in his most distinguished British banter, "Fret not young Michael (yes, he really articulated just like that), let me give you some advice. That girl is not for you. You need a girl with more fire. More heart. More "kalipu" (a Basque word that doesn't translate well). You need someone who will run with you and run with the bulls." Years of experience later I think the old kook might have been right. So here's my question to you: Are you that girl? Would you run with the bulls in Pamplona? If so, read on... I like old cars, fast boats, cobblestone streets, duct tape, live theater, Hemmingway, time machines, baseball and hot dogs on a Summer afternoon, thunderstorms, the smell of freshly baked bread, the American flag, and hand written letters. I hate red beets, cheap toilet paper, voice mail, political correctness, feeling guilty about not liking boring people, The Honolulu Advertiser, globalization, and the fact that I can't say the word "cinnamon". I'm looking for a girl that knows how to wear a dress (but would rather be in jeans), doesn't mind if I eat meat, knows when not to take life seriously, can pack a weeks worth of clothes into an overnight bag, has a smile that lights up the room, and a girl who can charm my mother. The "perfect" girl would also have oodles of patience and a kind heart. In return I would offer unequivocal loyalty and a life full of adventure. A hui hou. Aloha.
