Turkey: The War Next Door
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Polls show that an overwhelming majority of Turkey's people oppose their country participating in a U.S. invasion of Iraq. But in this upscale neighborhood of Ankara, a banker said he would favor a reconsideration in parliament now.
KAZIM OZTURK (Translated): War is not something that anyone could approve of. Nobody would want war. The resolution was voted down in parliament, so there would be no war. This made everybody happy. But if our country is threatened from the outside, we have to take the necessary precautions to defend our country. If need be, a new resolution will be passed.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Across town, in a neighborhood where many people are unemployed, a group of men explained the economic risks of war. "If we join with America," one man said, "it won't be cheap. The earlier Gulf War finished our trade with Iraq and Iran, and now the trade embargo against Iraq hurts us badly." Savas Kurtbas said he feared U.S. power would prevail, but he was willing to accept whatever parliament decides.
SAVAS KURTBAS ( Translated ): Of course America is a world superpower, and we will try to do things their way. We have a parliament. We are a free nation. We make our own decisions. And to make those decisions, we send the necessary majority to the parliament. And I believe that majority will come up with the best decision for us.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: There was some disagreement about that, and then another man said he worried that the U.S. was ignoring the parliamentary vote against deployment. "America is already moving in," he said, referring to scenes like this, which have played repeatedly on Turkish television. This convoy of American military vehicles left the port of Iskenderun yesterday, and headed east toward the border with Iraq.
Similar convoys have been on the move for days. Two months ago, Turkey's parliament did grant permission for about 3,500 U.S. soldiers to enter Turkey. They would upgrade ports and air bases for the potential arrival of combat troops later. Ilnur Cevik is editor of the Turkish Daily News, an English language paper based in Ankara.
ILNUR CEVIK: There is a massive American buildup. In a point of no return, really, all these ships are being offloaded. And Turkey has found a kind of way to facilitate the American administration, saying, "Look, we haven't allowed you to bring troops here, but all the hardware can come in and be stationed somewhere around the border areas, and then we can bring troops in later on."
There are all kinds of containers, which we don't know what is in them. But we are told that there are ammunition in them, logistical support, health materials, medical materials, there are tanks, there are jeeps, there are those Hummel things you're talking about which go on the desert sand, all these things are coming.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: An American official denied ammunition and tanks are arriving, and said the U.S. has been scrupulous in keeping to the terms of the agreement with Turkey for upgrading ports and bases. Ilnur Cevik said there's also a large buildup of Turkish troops near the border.
ILNUR CEVIK: The Turkish troops are massed on the border. Tanks are there, planes are all ready for action, everything is, you know, in war gear in Turkey.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Tayyip Erdogan, who was sworn in as a member of the Turkish parliament yesterday, and will become prime minister in a day or so, stands at the center of the controversy over this country's role in any American invasion of Iraq. Erdogan led his Justice and Development, or AK Party, to an overwhelming victory in parliamentary elections last fall.
But though he campaigned throughout the country and was enormously popular, he was not allowed by law to run for parliament himself. His political party has Islamist roots, and he was convicted in the 1990s of inciting religious hatred. He had read a poem in public that was considered offensive by security authorities here, who uphold Turkey's historic commitment to secular rule.
But his AK Party won the elections last fall, and once in power, changed the constitution. Erdogan was allowed to run for parliament in a special election, and is now indisputably in charge. He had regretted the March 1 vote against deployment of American troops in Turkey, and promised to call another vote soon.
Ilnur Cevik, who is a member of the AK Party very close to Erdogan, said Erdogan is insisting on some guarantees from the United States before holding another vote. Most important, the party believes Turkey must have a role in the shaping of a future Iraq. The Turkish military in particular is concerned about the Kurds who live in southeast Turkey as well as northern Iraq, because some Kurds would like their own Kurdish state.
ILNUR CEVIK: We want to of course have a say because Iraq is next to us. We couldn't care less if this happened in Mexico because we wouldn't come to you and say "we want a say in the way the Mexican government is being formed." But this is next door. Any fire there spills over to us. Will we be there? How far will we be there? What will be our role? That is what Erdogan wants to learn from the Americans.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Why should Turkey have a role in what happens in Iraq next? Should Iran have a role, should Syria have a role? They are also neighbors.
ILNUR CEVIK: Neither Syria, nor Iraq, has suffered the five to 15 years of Kurdish separatist terrorism. We have. We have lost 35,000 people in the process, and we have also lost about 50 to 60 billion dollars trying to fight these people. Now, we suffered. And this suffering has created a kind of psychological trauma in the Turkish people. They are saying, "If there is an independent Kurdish entity there, will this have a mouthwatering effect on the secessionists in Turkey?"
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Cevik said Erdogan is also insisting on economic guarantees.
ILNUR CEVIK: He wants some guarantees that when the United States says, "we will compensate you on your economic loses in a probable war in Iraq." He wants them to give him guarantees that this will not remain in words like last time. In the first Gulf War, Turkey was given a lot of promises. But they were all left in the end.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: In addition, Cevik said, Erdogan wants guarantees for the Turkmen in Iraq, Turkish peoples who have, like the Kurds, been repressed by Saddam Hussein. These are Turkmen refugees from Iraq, living in Istanbul. Erdogan wants Turkmen included in the Iraqi opposition coalition that has been forming in recent months as a kind of shadow government.
The Bush administration's envoy to the opposition, Zalmay Khalilzad, may come to Ankara this week for meetings aimed at assuring Erdogan the Turkmen will be taken into account. If Erdogan gets these guarantees, Cevik said, he will most probably call for another vote.
ILNUR CEVIK: He will announce his cabinet. And that cabinet will start functioning. Now, it will take some time. And then the new motion can be introduced to the parliament. That would be by next week. Does the American administration have that patience, I wonder.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: There are other key questions still pending, too. At a press conference yesterday, I asked outgoing Prime Minister Abdullah Gul what the AK Party would do in the absence of a U.N. resolution backing a U.S. Invasion of Iraq.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Is it AK Party policy to not have another vote in parliament, if there is no U.N. resolution in favor of an invasion?
ABDULLAH GUL, Acting Prime Minister, Turkey ( Translated ): We are looking into these matters. We are in the midst of changing the government rapidly. When the new government is formed, the situation will be resolved. It's difficult to say anything right now.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Much remains undecided here, and people said they'll be watching parliament and the U.N. closely in the days ahead.
JIM LEHRER: Turkey's ambassador to the United States said today that the U.S. does not have permanents to use air base or air space for an attack on Iraq. The country's incoming prime minister told President Bush in a phone call it could take a while to get that permission.

Hello friends, Happy New Year! I am excited to share with you my Christmas gift pattern and fabric, my owl clover dress. When the rents asked what I wanted for Christmas, of course I said fabric and patterns! I specifically asked for this owl print rayon from fabric.com and the
amazing Papercut Pattern the Clover Dress.
I really enjoyed putting this pattern together but labored over the decision of what fabric to make the chevron cut outs on the top bodice, I really wanted black lace but in the end the nude silk (leftover from Promballoona) really was more complimentary to the print.
One nice thing about this pattern is no buttons or zips to deal with, and it comes together fairly quickly.
I chose to use all french seams, because let's face it- french seams are always a good idea.
And I didn't make a muslin, the dress looked like it was loose enough that I could rely on the
measurements to be correct, which they were. I wouldn't mind having this dress be just a tiny bit
looser in future though. I did chose to make a self belt instead
of the belt that the dress instructions include.
If you are wondering if you should buy this pattern, I am here to tell you- YES! It is a winner in my book and maybe will become a TNT for me.
The front was a bit of a pattern matching fail, it actually did not even occur to me to try at all
until I sewed it together and realized that I should have.
Thank you to Katie for taking these photos and mom and Mike for the
fantastic Christmas presents!

Quarterback Quandaries
When your kicker is the teams MVP, you know something is wrong. Yet its been that kind of season for the Miami Dolphins. Its been that kind of decade, actually. The Fins are ranked 28th in the league in scoring this season. They have no problem moving the ball into the red zone. They just proceed to soil themselves once they get there. Its gotten to the point that whenever the Dolphins score a touchdown, people are legitimately surprised. Some say the fault lies with quarterback Chad Henne, whose career can best be described as mostly harmless. But thats not what you want from your potential franchise quarterback. So far in his two-year career, Henne has shown flashes of brilliance mixed with flashes of craptitude. Hes able to hit receivers 70 yards down-field and then completely miss them for a two-yard pass in the end zone. Henne hasnt done much to gain the fan bases confidence, and thats owed largely to the fact that the Fins flat-out refuse to score touchdowns. The point is, we still dont know if hes the guy to lead this team or if hes just the latest in a long line of quarterback busts since Dan Marino retired in 1999. So far, its been frustrating trying to find out. The Dolphins will host the Chicago Bears at Sun Life Stadium for a special edition of Thursday Night Football.

Opera drama: Why board made the right decision
• Steadily declining solvency.
Giving up our 50th season was even more wrenching, but pursuing it would have created its own precipice. The cost of our 50th season would have been about $16.9 million, less than $5.5 million of which could have been expected from ticket sales. If we had announced that as our last season, philanthropic support might well have evaporated.
We would have come to the same place down the road, with obligations that we could not meet — and would have known in advance we could not meet — and the certainty of bankruptcy and disgrace.
That is why we made an ethical decision to close in a way that would allow the greatest likelihood of meeting our financial obligations.
Now that the decision has been made, the conspiracy theorists have emerged, casting totally incorrect aspersions on two key staff leaders. Those aspersions are wrong, they are damaging and they are unforgivable.
Let's not debate salaries in a community where any salary north of $150,000 a year is suspect, regardless of merit. Let's consider who had the most to lose.
Ian Campbell and Ann Spira Campbell had the most to lose. They are soon to be out of work, without benefits, with reputations sullied by unfounded allegations and diminished future prospects. That is unfair. They could have "jumped ship" before now, but their integrity made them want to do everything they could to avoid it. They deserve gratitude and respect.
By the way, neither had a severance agreement that contemplated dissolving the organization.
By choosing to transfer our assets to an assignee for the benefit of creditors, we place the Campbells in the category of creditors — in line to negotiate obligations against the remaining assets. Anyone who thinks that is the outcome they sought is totally wrong.
That is the truth of the matter.
Cohn is president of the board of directors of San Diego Opera Association.

|College Basketball Odds: DePaul at Connecticut Spread, Preview & Public Picks
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Tuesday, 19 February 2008 05:02
Hoping For an Easier Time
After winning its ninth straight on a last-second basket in overtime against an inferior opponent, Connecticut hopes for a much easier time Tuesday night when it hosts struggling DePaul.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Connecticut -13 point spread favorites (View College Basketball odds) for today's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 72% of bets for this game have been placed on Connecticut -13 (View College Basketball bet percentages).
The No. 13 Huskies (20-5, 9-3 Big East) extended their longest win streak of the season on Saturday when Craig Austrie sank a 14-footer with 0.2 seconds remaining in overtime to secure a 74-73 win over South Florida.
"They outplayed us probably. I think they gave more effort," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. "That shows up ... in many, many ways. But we'll go home with a win. We're not turning it back in because, quite frankly, we've outplayed other teams before and got beat."
The victory over the Bulls moved Connecticut up four spots in the rankings and kept it tied with No. 20 Notre Dame for third place in the crowded conference standings, 1 1/2-games back of co-leaders Louisville and Georgetown - ranked 18th and 12th, respectively.
The Huskies will try to close that gap by winning a 10th consecutive game for the first time since an 11-game run from Nov. 10-Dec. 27, 2006.
A.J. Price, UConn's leader with career highs of 15.4 points and 6.2 assists per game, is coming off yet another stellar performance, during which he scored 23 points and dished out seven assists. That display came after the junior guard had a career-high 26 points and nine assists in an 84-78 win over the Fighting Irish on Wednesday.
Price is averaging 18.0 points during the winning streak.
The Huskies are also getting outstanding play from 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet, who had eight of their 11 blocks Saturday while adding nine rebounds. The sophomore has 32 blocks over the last five games, giving him 107 on the season to rank second in the nation behind Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado (114).
Connecticut hopes the combination of Thabeet and Price can help it beat the Blue Demons (10-14, 5-7) for the first time in Big East play. The Huskies lost 66-58 on the road in the only conference matchup between the teams on Jan. 31, 2007. They won the first-ever meeting on March 20, 2004, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
DePaul, which joined the Big East for the 2005-06 season, is seeking only its second win in seven games after losing 88-68 to then-No. 23 Louisville on Feb. 12, which followed a 69-61 win over South Florida three days earlier.
Draelon Burns, the Blue Demons' scoring leader (17.4), is looking to rebound from one of his worst shooting performances of the season. The senior guard was limited to 11 points on 3-for-14 from the floor against the Cardinals, including 0-for-5 from 3-point range.
Burns, though, was outstanding in leading DePaul to its only win over UConn, shooting 9-for-15 on his way to 26 points.
Dar Tucker, meanwhile, is looking for some consistency after he had 22 points on Feb. 12, three more than in his previous two games combined. The freshman forward is second on the team with 13.2 points per game.

Still no resolution to Padres' trade for SS; Moseley, Petit signings confirmed
However, acquiring Bartlett might allow the Padres to open the season with Everth Cabrera at second -- making it much easier to spread the remaining funds available ($5-$7 million) to sign a first baseman and second catcher.
And there is always the possibility that the Padres, if they lose out on Hairston, could again open the season with free agent David Eckstein at second and Cabrera as the utility infielder.
Hoyer says Logan Forsythe will not be ready to open the 2011 season with the Padres. Neither will first baseman Anthony Rizzo or right-handed pitcher Casey Kelly -- two of the three prospects acquired from Boston in the Adrian Gonzalez trade.
But Hoyer said he thinks Rizzo or Kelly could be with the Padres by the middle of next summer.

A holiday in Alicante affords access to stunning beaches, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a great many sites relating to the history and culture of Spain. Add to this the likelihood of fabulous weather conditions and fitting everything in to your schedule may be one of your biggest problems.
Sun, sea and sand are the principal reasons why a great many people will visit Alicante. Playa del Postiguet is the main beach in the heart of the resort, with clean, safe sands on which to have fun, while the smaller and quieter Playa del Coco is but a short walk away. San Juan Beach is a few miles out of the resort centre but is packed with activity options, including plentiful shops and bars. San Juan is also where Alicante Golf Club can be found, likely to be of interest to those with non-beach related sports in mind.
There are many cultural sights to see in Alicante but few will want to miss climbing to the Castle of Santa Barbara and enjoying stunning views of the city, or visiting St Mary's Church, built over three centuries on the site of a former Moorish mosque and one of Alicante's most popular visitor attractions.
Alenda Golf has a fabulous (opened summer 2007) club house. There you can have an ice cold beer, Tapas (which is really good!) or a lovely espresso. You could sit inside the lovely air conditioned bar or on the beautiful large terrace taking in the views of the mountain and golf course.
Alenda Golf has an 18 hole par 72 course in the hillside. It was designed by Roland Favrat and opened in 1999. The first 9 holes are easy and fun with wide lanes bordered by pine trees and carob trees. The last nine holes are more technical and require greater concentration. It is an exciting course for players of every level. It also has a driving range, putting green, chipping green and practice bunker.

Self-Tending Sail System
You would probably have to build one or have one built. Its not that hard to do. You basically need to have specialized jib made that will be short on the foot and have a high clew. You need to construct a jib boom which is easy to do with piece of aluminum tubing. The boom needs an outhaul and a gooseneck fitting but both can be very simple. You can rig a self tacking jib with as simple a sheet as a centerline tackle but more typically there is a horse or traveler for the sheet tackle. The sheet then runs forward to the stem and then back to the cockpit.
Much of this depends on the particular design of the boat but a self-tacking jib will greatly reduce performance compared to the typical ''lapper'' used on most small boats. You would be very far ahead by simply improving your sheet handling gear. The simpliest improvement is to put a 2:1 sheet on the jib and a set of ratchet blocks. On the typical 18 footer a jib is so small that this will actually be easier to trim than a self tacking jib which has a lot of friction.

My eyes are uneven, what treatment would you recommend? (photo)
Doctor Answers 6
Upper lid asymmetry
You have a noticeable upper lid asymmetry. There are different causes for that. In your particular case you would need to be evaluated in person, but it appears that you have some hyperactivity of the left frontalis (forehead) muscle in addition to the droop of the right upper eyelid. You could very well require correction of both upper eyelids. Seek out a well experienced eyelids surgeon, and ask all the pertinent questions.

Before I go further, I think it's a good idea to lay out the problems that the Mountain West faces, both in terms of national title game access and BCS game access:
1: They have virtually no bargaining position
Many Mountain West supporters want to believe that a sizable portion of the public strongly supports their positions, or that they have the ability to get the courts to force the BCS to bend to their wills. Both of these ideas are completely wrong.
For the first, there are certainly many people who'd like to see more access for non-BCS teams, but other than those with a vested interest, few would bother doing much of anything about it. The general public isn't going to stop watching games, isn't going to vote based on this issue, and isn't going to devote time and/or money to changing the system. They may (or may not) sign online petitions and do other things that require zero commitment, but that's about the limit. Relying on the general public to affect change is almost certainly a dead end.
Similarly, it's not likely that the courts will do much to help. Yes, it's quite possible that a sympathetic judge somewhere will play ball, but any ruling that would do anything substantial would almost certainly affect the ability of the professional sports leagues to conduct their business (or at least set the precedent), which means that they'd basically be fighting the entire sports establishment in this country, perhaps not in the original case but almost certainly on appeal. The long-term effects of pissing off the NFL, NBA, MLB, and all of the other leagues would almost certainly more than make up for whatever short-term legal victory might possibly be won.
2: They have zero allies
I don't think this point can be emphasized enough. Right now the Mountain West more or less stands alone, having pissed off the other non-BCS conferences by emphasizing that they want to become an auto-bid conference rather than emphasizing more access for any deserving teams. They've pissed off the BCS conferences by pushing the idea of splitting revenue equally among all leagues (which is pretty much the definition of a non-starter). And they haven't managed to find any noteworthy allies anywhere else. It's no wonder they were reduced to the embarrassing position of being forced to sign an agreement that they hated.
3: The BCS schools still have the nuclear option
This is one of those things that people generally don't want to talk about, but it's a fact: the BCS schools have the ability to pack up their bags, leave the NCAA and form their own organization. It's a nuclear option for a reason: the amount of ill-will it would generate would be enormous, the logistics would be a nightmare, and a boatload of tradition (such as the NCAA basketball tournament) would go out the window. But if push comes to shove, and enough of the established powers get forced into a position they feel they cannot abide, it's on the table.
I have no idea what set of circumstances would create enough of a rift for this to happen, but I'm virtually certain that there is such a point, somewhere along the line. Equal revenue-sharing among all conferences, or among all schools, regardless of whether the schools or conferences are a legitimate part of the national title race, would probably be enough. If North Texas and Idaho get as big of a check as Alabama and Oklahoma, at the least there will be very serious discussions about breaking away from the NCAA, at least in football and quite possibly across all sports. In the end, there may not be enough support, or the schools may decide it's not worth the substantial downsides, but it would be very possible that they would go through with it.
4: They aren't as good as any of the BCS conferences
It's certainly true that the gap has substantially closed from where they were in, say, 2000, both because Utah and BYU have both greatly improved and because they added TCU. However, the fact remains that as a whole the conference still isn't very good, mainly because the teams at the bottom are severely dragging it down. All conferences have weak members, but the Mountain West has more weak members and they tend to be really bad. Even in a generally good year for the conference, they still had one completely abysmal team (San Diego St), as well as a bad team (Wyoming; the win at Knoxville aside they were really bad, going 1-6 in conference play, barely pulling off home wins against Ohio and a AA team and getting destroyed at home by Bowling Green).
One thing that Mountain West proponents like to do is compare their conference to the Big East. However, even though many perceive the Big East as being the weakest of the BCS leagues (over the past two years, that's probably unfair, as the Big Ten was probably the worst of the six both years, given their high number of bad losses and dearth of good wins), even they do fairly well in comparison to the Mountain West. Of course, if we're just looking at last year, the Mountain West had better teams at the top (Utah and TCU were certainly better than whoever you think were the two best Big East teams out of Cincy, Pitt, WV and Rutgers), but the rest of the Big East compares much better (BYU and team #3 is a decent matchup, and the bottom falls out of the Mountain West after that; Air Force is much worse than team #4, UConn and USF would dominate the middle of the MWC; and Louisville and Syracuse at the bottom were much better than Wyoming and SD St). And that was one of the Mountain West's best seasons in recent memory; the comparison gets worse for many other seasons on record, which is true not just comparing to the Big East but for the other BCS leagues as well.
This situation creates obvious problems when Mountain West proponents try to argue that they should replace one of the current BCS conferences; without a clear case that they actually are better than one of the other leagues, it's pretty much a dead end; you can certainly make a case that my conclusions are wrong (if you focus just on the top of the league and just on 2008 you can make a somewhat compelling case), but there's just not enough evidence to actually win the argument.
5: They're a small conference
At nine member schools, the Mountain West is three smaller than the ACC, Big XII and SEC; two smaller than the Big Ten; and one smaller than the Pac-10. This acts against them when it comes to making an argument that they deserve an equal place at the table; if you completely ignore any issues regarding quality of programs, they still have to overcome the fact that smaller leagues generally have less power, as well as the fact that the larger leagues would most certainly resent having to give up a BCS check to a league that only splits it nine ways where they have to split their own checks ten to twelve ways.
Of course, the Big East is even smaller than the Mountain West, but "we're not the worst in this category" isn't the argument to make when it comes to having an equal place at the table. Most likely, the Big East will add another member or two within the next five years or so (at least they really should, given how bad it looks to have an 8-member league with an auto-bid, and how bad it looks for teams like Rutgers to be able to schedule four OOC games that are cakewalks, with the fifth not that tough either), but again, just because someone else has the same issues doesn't diminish the fact that the Mountain West has this problem. When it comes to promoting their league, they need to diminish the arguments others can come up with, and right now, even if quality of play improves, even if non-conference schedules get tougher, they still have this problem, and it's not going to go away until and unless they fix it.
So what is there to do? There are a number of things that can be done to give the Mountain West a much better chance of getting more access, both for the next few seasons and especially for the next round of BCS negotiations.
1: Jump into bed with the Cotton Bowl
This one's a no-brainer. On a fundamental level, improving access to both the national title game and the at-large BCS games gets a whole lot easier if there are more BCS games. The established BCS games really don't want this, because it affects their bottom lines. But they don't want non-BCS teams to have access anyway, because they tend not to fill stadiums and have as many TV viewers, so worrying about what they want is probably just a big waste of time.
But, the Cotton Bowl wants to be a BCS bowl, they've got a boatload of money and influence behind them, and they'd almost certainly be willing to find common ground in exchange for more support for their membership. Politically, they can probably get the support of the Big 12, given that they have a lot of influence in Texas and Oklahoma, where the entire Big 12 South is. However, that's probably their only strong source of support, though they probably do have some influence with the SEC, mainly the West teams. Because of that, they need allies pretty much wherever they can find them, because they definitely don't want to miss out on the next round of BCS assignments. Turning the Cotton Bowl into a fifth BCS bowl suits both parties very well, and it would be a lot easier to muster support if both parties worked together.
2: Schedule Tougher
To a certain degree, they're already moving in that direction. There's been an intentional push by the league to have more games against BCS teams, from any conference, which is why this year TCU plays Clemson and Virginia, BYU plays Oklahoma and Florida St, Utah plays Oregon and Louisville, and all of the other teams play at least one BCS opponent. This is good, but it's still not enough. The scheduling philosophy for the lower-level schools is probably fine, but the top three schools need to do more. Each may play two BCS opponents, but TCU also plays Texas St and SMU, BYU also plays Tulane and Utah St, and Utah also plays Utah St and San Jose St. One non-conference layup is fine, but two just won't cut it. Every year there will be at least two Mountain West that a legitimate top 15 team would consider cannon fodder, so to be taken seriously as a title contender there can be no more than one non-conference layup.
When setting a schedule, the standard should be whether or not they'd deserve a shot at an at-large bid with one loss. If the answer is either "no" or "it depends on whether the conference is unusually good this year", that's not going to cut it. Fair or not, the burden of proof is on the Mountain West to prove they belong, not on everyone else to prove they don't.
3: Schedule Major Non-BCS Programs
The second the Poinsettia Bowl was over, TCU should have been on the phone arranging a home and home with Boise for 2009 and 2010. It was one of the most exciting bowl games of 2008, and not finding a way to follow that up was a major missed opportunity for both programs. Moreover, it probably could have been done. On October 3rd, TCU hosts SMU, and in Sept 19th, they host Texas St. They could have dropped Texas St, moved SMU to opening weekend, and slotted Boise into October 3rd, the day Boise was supposed to play UC Davis (who they probably could have dropped). They could have signed with ESPN, marketed the hell out of it, made enough revenue to overcome the loss of one home game in two years (assuming both years they'd slot out a AA game), and created a lot more excitement around their program.
In fact, it's crazy that the Mountain West ever goes a year without having at least one of their "Big Three" play Boise. Both groups want to prove that they're better than the other, and both groups want to be sure that they wouldn't be left out of the BCS if they ran the table (which even now is possible – just ask Boise last year). If Boise is willing to do home and homes with MAC teams they're probably willing to do it with a high-level Mountain West team, and if TCU is willing to play cash games at Virginia and Clemson they ought to be willing to do a home and home with Boise.
And while we're at it, BYU is playing the wrong C-USA team this year. Why do a home and home with Tulane when you could try and hit up Tulsa again? There's nothing wrong with going back to the well and having another home and home with the same program, and doing so would give BYU a chance to get a credible win, as opposed to essentially a bye.
4: Figure out a Strategy
Maybe I'm wrong, but right now I just don't get the sense that there's any overriding strategy to what the Mountain West has been doing. Yes, there are goals, but there really doesn't seem to be any idea about how to get there. Ultimately, they're going to have to make conscious decisions about how to proceed, and they're going to have to prioritize their goals. Writing a "we want everything" letter and hoping something will stick didn't work this past round, and I can pretty much guarantee it won't work in the next round either.
Serious questions are going to have be asked and answered, starting with how they want to look for allies and strengthen their political position. If they decide to get serious about trying to find allies, they'll have to decide which ones they want and how to co-ordinate interests. If they decide that they want to ally themselves to the Cotton Bowl, for instance, they would probably want more of a presence in that area, which might mean trying to poach Tulsa, Houston, or UTEP from C-USA (Tulsa would be the best program, but it might be politically better to take a Texas school, especially given that Houston has access to the biggest market of the three, though they don't dominate the market in the way that would make them a no-brainer).
Moreover, they might be interested in adding three rather than one team, split into divisions and do a championship game, though that has its own set of pluses and minuses. That type of goal would mean that there would be a serious case to be made for looking at more than just Texas-area teams, with the obvious next one on the list being Boise, though others worth at least thinking about might include Nevada (monopoly on the state), San Jose St (lousy program, but would substantially increase their California presence, good for both television and recruiting), and perhaps Fresno (much the same reasons as SJ St, though a better program and worse location).
In the case of Boise (and Fresno as well, though to a lesser extent), there are serious downsides to bringing them in: they're well out of the way compared to the current league teams, they're not near a major market, and they will always be at risk of dropping back into the pack when the next coaching transition occurs; Koetter to Hawkins to Peterson has worked well, but at some point someone won't excel in the role. On the other hand, the positives are substantial as well, though mainly short-term; bringing in Boise would significantly enhance the credibility of the league, and give it a total monopoly on all of the good teams who've crashed the BCS. If the goal is to become a BCS league, the pros could very well outweigh the cons; once again, there should be serious consideration, as opposed to the current "we're not going to worry about this right now and instead focus on complaining about the system" mindset that seems to be in vogue.
Of course, any type of expansion, no matter how many teams and which ones they would poach, would seriously antagonize the other non-BCS conferences, but that might not matter if they decide to push to become a BCS conference as opposed to work for more access for everyone.
Alternatively, they could decide to co-ordinate efforts with other non-BCS leagues to gain access for any deserving team, as opposed to the "just us" approach. This would certainly widen their base of support, but it could also prevent them from becoming stronger as a conference (obviously poaching teams is out if they want to seriously make nice to the other leagues), and depending on how they approached the issue, they could increase the number of interests who stand in opposition. It's a trade-off, and they have to figure out which way they want to go, sooner rather than later if they want to be prepared for the next round of BCS negotiations. The two approaches (become a 7th BCS conference vs creating more access for everyone) are fundamentally different, and if they want to succeed on either front they'd need to put a lot more effort into paving the way for success.
Just as importantly, they've going to have to decide whether it's more important to have greater national title game access or greater BCS at-large game access. Either one would be a substantial change, and both have interests that would push strongly against change. Sure, it might be possible to change both, but it would be a lot harder, and would more likely ensure that neither changed. It's another area where they need to have a clear goal, and then put together a plan to achieve that goal, whichever one they choose.
Ultimately, there are a lot of things that they can do if they want to strengthen their position and get more access, both to the BCS and the national title game. I'm not arrogant enough to pretend that I've found all of the good ideas out there, or even close to all of the good ideas. However, I do think that these ideas are a solid starting point, and something that can be built upon.

At a meeting of the central committee of Spain's Communist Party, in a room both locked and guarded, general secretary Fernando Garrido is stabbed to death. But the Party refuses to believe it was an inside job.
They turn to former member Pepe Carvalho. But he's soon out of his depth in unfamiliar Madrid, where he spends nearly as much time investigating the chorizo, lamb-kidneys, and tripe, and the uninspiring selection of wine on offer, as he does murder.

However, teaching basketball skills is what has won him widespread acclaim. Otis' teams are known for defensive intensity and effort, characteristics that helped them earlier this season during victories over regionally ranked Long Beach Poly, Huntington Beach Ocean View and Concord De La Salle. Dominguez lost to Mater Dei by three points in December.
"All of our players are going to play defense, set picks and pass the ball," Otis said. "They want to learn. They want to get better. That's the biggest thing.
"But we've still got room to grow."
The Don of Dominguez
Southern Section and state championships won by the Dominguez High boys' basketball team in Russell Otis' 15 seasons as coach:

'Nonprofit' raised $600,000, lacked IRS paperwork
Tax-exempt status revoked because group didn't file tax returns as required
East County Posse
Established: 2006
Mission: To give residents of East County that second chance they may need or that leg up they've been looking for.
Fundraising events: East County Night Out, East County Posse Poker Tournament, East County Posse Golf Tournament
Last 990 filed: None filed
Phil and Alice Creaser Education Foundation
Established: 1987
Mission: To provide scholarship opportunities for qualified students of the Sweetwater Union High School District
Fundraising events: None. Scholarships are awarded from interest accrued from original $400,000 gift.
Last 990 filed: 2004
A move by the Internal Revenue Service to strip thousands of organizations of their nonprofit status over missing paperwork was not reserved to small or defunct groups.
Some mid-sized and larger organizations with regional prominence also failed to file returns for multiple years, now leaving them without the ability to solicit tax-exempt donations and possibly exposing them to tax liabilities.
One of the groups is the East County Posse, a philanthropic organization that has raised nearly $600,000 since 2006, according to tax returns the group is now preparing belatedly in response to the IRS action.
The group, whose membership and board of directors comes from the development and real estate communities, performs random acts of generosity for individuals who don't qualify for traditional assistance, such as retrofitting homes and vehicles for disabled people.
The group annually hosts three events: a golf tournament, a poker tournament, and the "East County Night Out," the group's signature event.
Greg Brown, the Posse's founder, said no one in the organization knew they were supposed to file tax returns until earlier this year, when the IRS sent them a letter notifying them the group was losing their nonprofit status.
"We gotta plead ignorance, we just screwed up," Brown said. "The organization grew out of this good-old-boy network, and we all thought that since we weren't making any money, why would we have to file a return?"
The Phil and Alice Creaser Education Foundation was another larger and active organization whose status was revoked.
Formed in 1987 when the Creasers gave $400,000, the foundation has awarded nearly $600,000 in scholarships to graduating Sweetwater Union High School District students. The scholarships come from the annual interest earned from the donation.
The group hasn't filed a federal tax return, known as a Form 990 for nonprofits, since 2004. Board chairman Michael Pradels said they were informed Monday that they could file a less complicated form known as a 990-N because the annual interest from the account is less than $50,000.
Pradels said the foundation's board was not aware of the IRS revocation until last week. He attributed the lapse to a miscommunication between the group and the district, which he said informed them that they did not have to file any returns. He said attorneys have told the group that their status will be restored when they file returns for the missing years.
"It is a no-harm, no-foul matter unless we don't get the paperwork filed within the next seven or eight months," Pradels said. "There is no penalty in our case, and no taxes are due."

Software Testing Service helps organizations improve software through testing.
We will create a new test group or complement your existing staff to provide the
right testing solution for you that is cost effective and efficient. Our testers
are skilled in various testing methodologies and tools and will work as needed
at our location or at your location. We can design, implement and execute
various types of testing activities such as functional, system, automated,
performance, usability, and acceptance testing to extend your testing
capability. Alternatively, we can provide a complete software testing team with
test processes and tools to work with your development team.
One of the major benefits of contracting testing is an independent test team.
An independent test team helps in assuring that quality is not compromised as
the development team looks to save cost and expedite the delivery of software.
The Mitrais Testing Process was developed from real life lessons learned in
software testing by using CMMI as the model to improve process. Our process is
capable and efficient in identifying defects in your product. We can also tailor
our testing process to meet your specific process needs.
At Mitrais we recognise that the characteristics of good testers differ from
those of good developers. This means different career development programs for
software testers and software developers. We have designed and implemented a
software tester's development program allowing new testers to learn the required
skills and gain experience to effectively perform their role as software test
engineers. Combined with the cost advantage in contracting, this means quality
software testing at a lower cost.
The Mitrais senior management team comprises a careful balance of skills and capabilities to optimize production, support and the strategic direction of the company.
Social Responsibility
Mitrais regards the support of education and community organizations as essential to its growth and social participation.

We have offices in Sydney, Bali, Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Singapore, Hanoi and Port Moresby.
Opportunities for careers with Mitrais are growing. Our in-house training scheme provides a

Republican hearing focuses on business complaints
WASHINGTON On issues ranging from the air we breathe to the noise we make, the business community is telling the government to get out of its hair. And the Republicans, looking toward the 2012 elections, are listening.
The House's principal investigative panel, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is taking its turn Thursday in a hearing designed to give a voice to business complaints about government regulations.
The entire House, meanwhile, could vote this week to direct 10 committees to compile an inventory of rules that adversely affect jobs. The resolution has no practical effect because committee chairmen already are under instructions from the Republican leadership to get rid of or modify rules that businesses don't like.
But there may be a political bounce, and the GOP has scheduled more than nine hours of debate so its members can get dozens of anti-regulation sound bites.
Thursday's hearing, to be chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa of California, will include the National Association of Manufacturers, the Black Chamber of Commerce, the Western Growers Association and owners of small businesses, among others.
A Democratic staff memo complained that Issa's letters to businesses, seeking comments on harmful rules, "did not request information about the benefits to the overall economy or to the health, safety and welfare of American workers and families. The letters were sent primarily to industry groups and others seeking to repeal regulations, while excluding industry, consumer and other groups that support the protections these regulations were designed to safeguard."
Issa has received some 200 suggestions from businesses, many of them longtime complaints about the Environmental Protection Agency's pollution control efforts and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's workplace rules.
Recent additions to the business hit list include complaints about a law passed last year to overhaul the country's financial regulations. Businesses don't like the sweeping powers of a new consumer protection agency, or a Securities and Exchange Commission proposal to require businesses to identify their "conflict minerals" - those mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses.
A report by Issa's staff acknowledged that rules such as the conflict minerals proposal have a good purpose - in this case, preventing atrocities - but also have a negative effect on business costs and time. The proposal would require a company to disclose to the SEC whether its conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
The most complaints were against the EPA. Issa's staff report said the agency "has issued a host of new regulations affecting coal-generated power, directing these plants to purchase costly new equipment."
The report mentioned EPA regulation of greenhouse gases as a pollutant, as well as increased scrutiny of other emissions.
"EPA is also proposing a cascade of new standards for already regulated emissions such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and ozone, some of which had their standards updated as recently as 2008," the report said.
The report said small businesses are concerned about proposed workplace "Right to Know" rules that would require all employers to disclose to all workers whether they are legally considered employees or independent contractors. Businesses would have to provide an analysis of how their pay is computed. Employers are concerned the proposal could expose them to monetary penalties if they make errors in calculation.

Light Racer Elite

- Easy

"Retro-futuristic race to the death"
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Jun 09, 2011
A puzzle-racing game.
Since Tron, colored light trail motorcycles racing around a tiled vectorial space has becoming too regular.
That kind of games must have something to catch us all. Either they are very simple to play or we haven't to think too much, games as Light Racer have always had many downloads.
In short, an easy and entertaining game. There's nothing to complain about. There's a short campaign mode (ten levels), a how-to-play tip before every race (nearly unnecessary "avoid crashing to survive") and classic or arcade mode. First levels can be too easy because the IA is very creative when it comes to killing itself, but don't worry: in a few levels you'll be tapping the screen trying to reproduce the forms you made when you played Snake on that Nokia a decade ago. Collect power ups and dodge the lighting storms in order to not getting too frustrated.Don't forget its best feature: the LAN fight, up to three players connected by wifi
Sound and gameplay options. Recommendable for old-school players. If you want something more modern, check Light Racer 3D out from this same developer, Battery Powered Games.

Customer Reviews
Needs some fixin
This game is pretty fun but has some issues. The harbor and bridge both stop at level 20 and level 21 never ends so you either use up health and ammo until you die. The game also lags really badly when you are being attacked by the horses or are slaughtering massive numbers of soldiers. It's a mindlessly fun game that is a good time killer but it gets a little repetitive after a while. Worth the $ though. Fix it and it would be a five
Game is unplayable. Shooting and movement are totally out of sync. Solders just walk up to you and stand there. Can not believe such an unfinished game made it on iTunes. Needs to be more quality control.

Dimitri Schostakowitsch (1906-1975): Symphonie Nr.8
- Dimitri Schostakowitsch (1906-1975)
- Symphonie Nr.8
- Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra
- Super Audio CD i **;
- Künstler: Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Wigglesworth
- Label: BIS, DDD, 2004
- Bestellnummer: 8854115
- Erscheinungstermin: 21.9.2005
ProduktinfoThis disc marks the return of Mark Wigglesworth's Shostakovich cycle. The series continues with the excellent Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, with which Wigglesworth has enjoyed a longstanding and successful relationship. The fruits of this collaboration are obvious in this recording of Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony – a work which the conductor in his own liner notes describes as 'a poem of suffering', quoting the composer. Although written at the turning point of World War II, and to the open disapproval of Stalin's propaganda machine, the symphony is far from jubilant. Instead, the themes Shostakovich explored – albeit in deepest secrecy – were the pain and the terror which the Russian people had experienced during the pre-war years. Mark Wigglesworth's previous Shostakovich interpretations have been highly praised for being "gripping", "moving" and "compelling". With the present work – containing what is "possibly the most terrifying music Shostakovich ever wrote" according to Wigglesworth himself – the emotional temperature is no lower, and is brought even higher through the great power and clarity of the SACD Surround Sound format new to this series.

There was good news and bad news in the world of Jewish sport this week. The good news is that the future of junior football has been secured by the Maccabi (Southern) Primary Football League after coming up with a rescue package to take in teams from the AJY next season.
The fact that it has taken just a week to put plans into place does not surprise me as I know that there are many key players around who realise the importance of the issue.
Just days before the biggest game of my life, I received the news that confirms my worst fears. I have osteoarthritis in several parts of my body. I've been waking up in pain for the last few months and received the dreaded prognosis that explains so many things, including the fact that I am not a hypochondriac. And even though depression is one of the possible complications, I promise to keep my head up and deal with the ailment to the best of my ability.
Bill Shankly once said that football was more important s than life and death. Although the Liverpool legend's quote is regularly taken out of context, it reared it's head last weekend when the pro-Israel rally clashed with Maccabi League football programme.
There were two sides to the argument. Supporters of Israel believe the organisation was wrong not to call a blanket postponement as it's in the MSFL's mission statement to "support strengthening the Jewish Continuity by promoting football and emphasising the importance of the centrality of Israel".
The Jewish cricket community was left reeling over the festive period following the death of Richard Ableson. The Belmont & Edgware all-rounder lost his battle against a leukaemia-related illness less than a year since emigrating to New York and getting married.
Last year will be remembered as the year Jewish players slipped off the Premier League's radar.
Having scored a Champions League hat-trick last season, I expected Yossi Benayoun to kick on this season but he's flitted in and out of the Liverpool team.
Tal Ben Haim joined Manchester City amid much hype but he only gets a game when the first choice back four are injured.
In his defence, Tamir Cohen hasn't really been given a chance but he's not your average hurly burly player and appears unsuited to a gritty Bolton team.
North West Neasden A have certainly raised the bar in Jewish football this season. I can't remember the last time that the league was a one-horse race, as good as done and dusted, as early as December. But it appears they have no equals.
One of my former clubs, the team managed by Jamie Cole and Daniel Fox, has an embarrassment of riches at their disposal with the club's three teams on course for silverware this season.
The best two teams in the JC MSFL will go head-to-head on Sunday as Chigwell Athletic A entertain runaway leaders North West Neasden A at Hadley FC in Arkley.
Thirteen points clear of their nearest rivals, Neasden have been scoring for fun this season with captain marvel Lee Cash in red-hot form. The Maccabiah hopeful has already scored 25 goals this term and going into the tie on the back of a seven-goal bonanza last week, will be the one to watch out for.
Neal Cohen, manager of Zig Zag, is broiges with Barnet council. Cohen fumed after they threw a blanket cancellation over all the pitches in the borough following heavy rain last Wednesday. But with mild weather forecast for the rest of the week, Cohen went down to check out his team's pitch in Edgwarebury Park and confirmed that the "surface was fine" two days later. He pleaded with council officials to reconsider but they were not having any of it.
I can't believe what the world is coming to with pink shirts and boots becoming increasingly popular at all levels of the game. First, South Manx A wore the feminine-coloured tops. This was followed by the JC MSFL's answer to Arsenal striker Nicklaus Bendtner as East London Knights player-manager James Ryan and Glenthorne United B's Jason Silver recently invested in a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor IVs.

I'm a frost mage. We got a real nice buff with 3.02, and my gear is half-decent (got some PvP epics), so I can pretty much hold my own.
This depends on the server, and the balance. I've done some lvling on 2 PvP realms, barthilas where I have horde, and thaurissan where I have ali. On barth it's pretty much as you describe. You see a little action but up through the 40s it isn't really that much.
On Thaur it's a different story entirely; though the realm population is like 3.51 horde to 1 ali. Around 18-30 you are seeing a little ganking (akin to what one didn't see on barth till STV). STV there is about what Tanaris is on Barth. Tanaris, forget it, it's easier lvling in the random dungeon finder. There's 80 horde there all day who will AoE down the Gadgetzan gaurds to gank you (well perhaps not all day, but you get my drift). And mind you, you know they're geared to AoE down lvl 77s without sweating or feeling it much.
Latter on, well... The WGs usually don't go well and don't tend to change hands; basically it's over when it starts most of the time though perhaps some finally started getting better at it, else the horde got bored of doing VoA all the time
I never saw anything like that on other realms, and I had played on others, including some PvP such as Barthilas.
Now mind you, I'm no angel. I've killed low lvls before when I happen to be there; though I hadn't exactly spent my entire day camping areas (outside the standard old raid on SS/Tarren Mill, Westfalls/x-roads, etc. I think some must spend their entire days, and well bliz could stand to balance the population a lil more by perhaps opening free realm transfers to one faction only and closing off the creation of chars to the other faction entirely to those who don't have that faction on the server already. But in the end that will be for them to decide.
