The Oakland Athletics acquired right-handed batting catcher Geovany Soto from the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish was first to confirm the report by a twitter user named Mark Madson:
Soto news first mentioned by @junkmail312. Confirmed he's going to #Athletics.— Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) August 24, 2014
There has not been word on a corresponding roster move, however, the three-catcher roster has been playing more like a two-catcher one, and a hurt one at that. Stephen Vogt has had foot problems for some time and has not been behind the dish since July 7, and All-Star Derek Norris has dealt with back problems that have occasionally kept him out of games this year. It is entirely possible one of these two may be going on the disabled list.
The 2008 National League Rookie of the Year has had extremely limited playing time with the Rangers this season after missing the first 95 games of the season recovering from right knee surgery. He missed 15 more games soon after his activation with a right groin injury.
Soto is batting .237/.237/.368 in 38 plate appearances, and in 2013 batted .245/.328/.466 in 184 plate appearances. In Soto's career against left-handed pitching, he is .283/.376/.483 in 704 plate appearances, though he has not achieved a left-handed on-base split above .310 since achieving a .296/.410/.561 line against lefties in 2011 with the Chicago Cubs.

My comments below too
My comments are embedded below in blue. Sorry if this is not the most readable format -- I can't seem to persuade Outlook to quote emails the way I want it to.
ISSUE 1: New SolrMarc Version
A) Yes, do it now.
I've re-indexed using your patch and it worked fine, so there doesn't appear to be any loss of functionality (oh, actually, I don't think your patch included an updated windows batch file, so used cygwin with the *.sh. This should be updated before a commit).
No changes should be needed to import-marc.sh or import-marc.bat in order to work with the new version of SolrMarc. Did you try the existing import-marc.bat under Windows?
Note that I did recently make a change to import-marc.sh, but this was to fix a Unix-only bug -- the Windows version should be unaffected.
ISSUE 2: Single-File Search Configuration
C.) Wait for more discussion.
I think a single file is the right way to go, but I think it could do with some more discussion & documentation. For new implementors, experimenting with solrconfig.xml is more accessible (they may already have solr experience, more likely to be comfortable with xml than yaml etc) and has Solr documentation.
One thought that might help alleviate this concern -- presently, the patch removes all of the custom search handlers (Author, Title, etc.) and always uses the standard handler for dismax and non-dismax queries. However, perhaps it would be better to have two handlers defined in solrconfig.xml -- standard and dismax. A user could then assign global default settings (like "mm") in solrconfig.xml on the dismax search handler… OR they could override them for individual search types through a new mechanism in the YAML. Seems like the best of both worlds.
Also, until parameters like "mm" are in the yaml, this will reduce functionality (and may have back-compatibility issues for some installs?)
This is what I alluded to when I mentioned Till's suggestion -- I can work this into the existing patch if you want proof that it can be done before we commit anything, but I really don't think it should be difficult to add as an immediate post-patch follow-up.
If we want this in for RC2, then we need it documented, which leads me on to...
The documentation in the YAML file itself is pretty exhaustive (though I'm sure there's room for improvement). We'll obviously need to update the Wiki in several places to point out the existence of this resource, however!
ISSUE 3: RC2 Release Date
B.) Let's discuss further... (doesn't have to be a long discussion ;) )
I think the dates you suggest sound realistic, but since I'm not doing the core development I'm wary about commiting those that are to a date. In particular, I think we should double check the dates with Greg since he doesn't have a vote on this list.
I think we can set a date without putting an unreasonable burden on Greg. As far as I can tell, his remaining RC2 commitment (based on JIRA tickets, anyway) boils down to the aspect of VUFIND-5 that he recently brought up on the vufind-tech list (URL truncation problems caused by super-long advanced searches). I think there's a good chance this will be sorted out fairly soon, and even if it isn't, it's a small enough edge case that I think we can let it slide to 1.0 if we have to.
Regardless of load, though, Greg's input is definitely welcome in this conversation. I'm pretty sure he lurks on this list, so hopefully we'll hear from him sooner or later.
Also, what if anything do we want/need to do for non-code matters. Looking at the outstanding RC2 tickets, I can't see much I can contribute since most are well-progressed. However, I'm very willing to give some time in the run-up to a release: Is there documentation that needs updating? Are there elements that could do with some more structured testing? Do we want to publicise the release beyond our own lists and website etc.?
As far as coding goes, if you're able to finish up the CSS-related problems, that alone would be a great contribution!
For non-coding matters, a few thoughts:
1.) The RC1 -> RC2 upgrade script (VUFIND-132) needs testing, refinement and integration into the trunk. If you want to test it out with a copy of your local data, or if you want to contribute to the discussion currently taking place in the comments of the JIRA ticket, that would be welcome.
2.) The Wiki needs updating in a lot of places. A few specific thoughts:
- We should retest all the install docs with RC2 code. I know the Windows documentation needs to be simplified to account for the batch files that reduce the complexity of installation and other tasks. I'm not sure if other platforms are affected.
- Some pages that currently talk about changing code (i.e. http://www.vufind.org/wiki/searches_customizing_tuning_adding) should be revised to explain the new configuration files that simplify the process.
- We need to figure out a way to update pages to reflect RC2 without losing important information needed by RC1 users. I'm not sure how best to achieve this. One simple solution would be to create a link at the top of the page saying "This applies to RC2 -- click on this link to see the RC1 version" and then point the link in the message back to the last RC1-related version in the Wiki. Of course, the problem with this is it freezes the RC1 data in place so that it can no longer be easily edited. Another, more complicated option is to create *_RC1 versions of existing pages for historical purposes, though that is likely more work than it's worth.
- Perhaps we should add a JIRA ticket about updating documentation -- this is an important part of our to-do list, after all. I'll hold off until after further discussion, though.

Reuters reported back in March that Microsoft planned to bring its Google Now competitor Cortana to Android, and Microsoft has now officially confirmed this in a blog post.
Today, we're announcing a Cortana application for Android phones and for iPhones which works as a companion to Cortana on your Windows 10 PC. The 'Phone Companion' app on the PC will help you install the Cortana app from the Google Play or Apple App Store onto your phone so you'll be able to take the intelligence of Cortana with you, wherever you go […]
The Cortana companion will be available for Android phones at the end of June and for iPhones later this year.
While Microsoft is pitching the intelligent assistant as a companion to a Windows PC, it appears that most of the functionality will work in the Android app without the need for a Windows device, Microsoft saying that you can "make the same queries, ask the same questions" in the standalone app … Read more

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

What did Pythagoras do to Hippasus?
Pythagoras drowned him.
What is the education of Pythagoras?
Pythagoras was well educated, and he played the lyre throughout his lifetime, knew poetry and recited Homer. He was interested in mathematics, philosophy, astronomy and mu…sic, and was greatly influenced by Pherekydes (philosophy), Thales (mathematics and astronomy) and Anaximander (philosophy, geometry).
Was Pythagoras a boxer?
It's entirely possible a life of Pythagoras states that : But Eratosthenes says, as Favorinus quotes him, in the eighth book of his Universal History, that this philosopher, o…f whom we are speaking, was the first man who ever practised boxing in a scientific manner, in the forty-eighth Olympiad, having his hair long, and being clothed in a purple robe; and that he was rejected from the competition among boys, and being ridiculed for his application, he immediately entered among the men, and came off victorious. And this statement is confirmed among other things, by the epigram which Theaetetus composed:Stranger, if e'er you knew Pythagoras, Pythagoras, the man with flowing hair, The celebrated boxer, erst of Samos; I am Pythagoras. And if you ask A citizen of Elis of my deeds, You'll surely think he is relating fables.
What is Pythagoras' theorem?
Pythagoras' Theorem is a statement proving that in a right angled triangle the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares on the other two s…ides. The formula for this is: A squared + B squared = C squared. C represents the hypotenuse on this formula, while A and B represent the other two perpendicular sides. Exercise:Use squared paper & draw a triangle in the center of the page. Make the short sides of length 6 cm & 8 cm. Draw a square on each side. Measure the area of each square: hint 6 x 6 = 36 and so on. Having found the areas, add the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides. Compare your answer with the area of the square on the longest side. What do you notice? Repeat this for more triangles and see if you can see a pattern. (The use of upper case for vertices and lower case for the actual sides of a triangle is prevalent. So we write triangle ABC having sides of length a, b, c.)
Who was Pythagoras?
Pythagoras (c. 580-500 B.C.) was an ancient Greek philosopher who was interested in numbers and their meanings. He discovered the relationships between mathematics and music, …proposing that sounds and their relationships with other sounds can be measured using numbers. He also proposed that the Earth is a sphere, that the Earth, Moon, and stars revolve around the Sun, and that astronomy (the study of stars, planets, and heavenly bodies) could be written as mathematical sentences called equations. Pythagoras and his followers used lines, triangles, and squares made out of pebbles to represent numbers. Today Pythagoras is best remembered for the Pythagorean theorem: The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle) of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the triangle's other two sides.
Why did Pythagoras discovered Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras discovred it to find unknown sides in a right angled triangle
Who is Pythagoras?
He was a famous mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. �A Greek Philosopher and Mathemetician (580-500 BCE). Phythagorous was a greek mathmatician who gives the …phythagorous theorum for right triangles. ANSWER almost you can say he creat maths

he was from Greece
Where did Pythagoras from?
i think you meant where was Pythagoras from. he was from samos, an island in greek
What did Pythagoras discover?
He discovered how to find the length of the missing side of a triangle, so if there was a 5 cm line and a 4 cm line he could tell the length of the other line on a trigal. The… answer to the 5 cm by 4 cm would be 3 cm. That is his famouse 5, 4, 3 triangle. The formula for it is A squared plus B squared equels C squared. he was also superman because he died before he was born
What was Pythagoras' birthday?
Pythagoras was born circa (about) 575 b.c., on the greek island samos.
What are the works of Pythagoras?
The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles.The theorem of Pythagoras - for a right-angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of th…e squares on the other two sides. The Babylonians understood this 1000 years earlier, but Pythagoras proved it.Constructing figures of a given area and geometrical algebra. For example they solved various equations by geometrical means.The discovery of irrational numbers is attributed to the Pythagoreans, but seems unlikely to have been the idea of Pythagoras because it does not align with his philosophy the all things are numbers, since number to him meant the ratio of two whole numbers.The five regular solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron). It is believed that Pythagoras knew how to construct the first three but not last two.Pythagoras taught that Earth was a sphere in the center of the Kosmos (Universe), that the planets, stars, and the universe were spherical because the sphere was the most perfect solid figure. He also taught that the paths of the planets were circular. Pythagoras recognized that the morning star was the same as the evening star, Venus.
Why was Pythagoras reffered to as the Pythagoras of samos?
Pythagoras was called "Pythagoras of Samos" because he was born in Samos.
How was Pythagoras' childhood?
It was tough as he was always being pressured.
Did Pythagoras have a wife and did they have children?

The Two-Way
Man, Dog Reunited 9 Days After Tornado Flattened Ill. Town
Originally published on Fri November 29, 2013 10:45 am
Jacob Montgomery's apartment was destroyed when a tornado ripped through the town of Washington, Ill., on Nov. 17.
Montgomery, an MP in the Illinois National Guard, survived, but he was separated from his 6-month-old pit bull named Dexter.
Despite searching through the wreckage several times, he couldn't find the puppy. So Montgomery posted pictures of Dexter on social media in hopes of finding him.
On Tuesday — nine days later — something amazing happened.
Montgomery got a Facebook message from a neighbor saying Dexter had been found under the rubble. The dog was malnourished and had a few cuts and scrapes. Otherwise, he was OK.
"I am lucky. All I had in my apartment is gone, but my dog was all I really had to worry about," Montgomery said, according to the Illinois National Guard.
Montgomery is staying with a friend near Peoria, Ill., until he and Dexter can find a new home.
Montgomery and Dexter's story reminded us of this other reunion following the devastation earlier this year in Moore, Okla. As the Two-Way wrote at the time, Barbara Garcia's reunion with her pooch "added a rare bright spot to an otherwise sad story of widespread devastation and loss of life."

Neil Young, popular Canadian musician.
The legendary Canadian musician Neil Young joined Saturday's protest against the Keystone XL pipeline in Washington, D.C. "We're all children of Mother Earth, and I'm here because I feel we are all threatened by what's happening as a planet," Young said. "We're threatened. I feel that the fossil fuel age is ending. It's having its first death gasps, and we need to keep pushing. We need to stop this pipeline [bringing] this really bad fuel from the tail of the snake in Canada all the way down to the head of the snake in Texas."
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, we're going to end with Neil Young. Neil Young, the famous musician, was in Washington at the rally on Saturday speaking against Keystone XL pipeline.
NEIL YOUNG: We stand with you. We are with you. We're with the farmers. We're with the ranchers. We're with the Indians in the U.S.A. We are with the First Nations people of Canada. We say, "Honor the treaties. Honor our agreements. Honor your word. Keep your word." My mother always said to me, "Keep your word, and clean up your mess, Neil." So this is what we want the government of Canada to do: Keep your word; don't let this happen. It's on First Nations land. They have the right to stop it. Let them speak. Don't bowl over them like they weren't there, because they are there. And there will be hell to pay.
There's an ancient story about a black snake that comes and threaten the First Nations people across North America. And this is it. It stretches from the tar sands of Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico. And it carries this poison that is going to do incredible damage to Mother Earth, three times as much CO2 in this oil as any other oil on the planet. It turns a Toyota Celica into a Chevy Suburban if you burn gasoline in that. That's what happens. This is what's going down this pipeline. For who? For what? It's not for you. It's not for us. It goes to a tax-free zone in Texas, so that it can be shipped to Asia or somewhere else in the world and used in automobiles to pollute. And we can't have any more pollution. We need the CO2 to stop.
That's why I stand with my friends. They are the people of the Earth. They are the caretakers of the Earth. We love the Earth. We don't want to see this happen. Our grandchildren will be trying so hard to dig themselves out of the hole that we're digging right now just to make a few bucks over the last few years of the fossil fuel age. We need to end the fossil fuel age and move into something better. So, I say—I say to President Obama: "This is your defining moment in the history of the world. Make your statement. And make a statement that's good for all time. It's a change. The change is coming. Why not give it a push? Why not stand up and put America on the right side of history?" Blessings.
AMY GOODMAN: Neil Young speaking at Saturday's rally against the Keystone XL pipeline. Thank you to our three guests: Gary Dorr, media and logistical coordinator for the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's Shield the People project, member of the Nez Perce Nation, speaking to us from Washington; Art Tanderup, Nebraska farmer with the Cowboy and Indian Alliance; and Daryl Hannah, the actress and activist.
When we come back, Ralph Nader on Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State. Stay with us.

Strawberry-Orange Muffins
From EatingWell: May/June 2009
We love the combination of strawberry and orange in this sweet breakfast muffin with a streusel topping. For a less conventional (but equally delicious) twist, try the basil variation. The hint of basil complements the fruity berries wonderfully.

- 3 tablespoons almonds
- 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
- 3 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest, divided (see Variation)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour , or whole-wheat pastry flour (see Note)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup nonfat or low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen (not thawed) strawberries , (about 8 ounces)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Process almonds, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and stir to combine.
- Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons orange zest and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl with buttermilk, orange juice, egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients; stir until just combined. Add strawberries; stir just to combine. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with the almond topping, gently pressing into the batter.
- Bake the muffins until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes more before serving. Variation: For Strawberry-Basil Muffins, omit orange zest and use 1/4 cup additional buttermilk in place of orange juice. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil with the berries in Step 3.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Store, individually wrapped, at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic wrap, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30-45 seconds.
- Note: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat. Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Find it in the baking section of the supermarket or online at bobsredmill.com and kingarthurflour.com. Store in the freezer.
- Storage smarts: For long-term freezer storage, wrap your food in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. The plastic will help prevent freezer burn while the foil will help keep off-odors from seeping into the food.

So what exactly did I notice in the mobile store? For one, people weren't asking for a Nokia phone (fan boys to please excuse). It's true that Indians have worshiped Nokia like the Goddess of mobile phones for a long time. That trend has significantly changed, thanks to the growing number of mobile phone manufacturers who have jumped into the already exploding mobile market in India. The buyers now have a whole lot of options.
The typical Indian mentality of going with a trusted brand or a highly recommended brand has somewhat changed. Earlier everyone in a family owned a Nokia phone. Even if you bought a Panasonic, you would be given the death stare by each member of the family. How dare you buy from another manufacturer? Don't you know, Nokia phones won't break even if you throw them on the floor?
Going further, a majority of Indians have opened up to the smartphone market. I should mention here that a majority of Indians especially the rural segment and those who cannot afford expensive phones, own a feature-phone. We've come to a stage where we have more mobile phones than toilets.
A few trends I have noticed while talking and spending time at mobile stores in India:
- People are more open to trying out a new manufacturer if it fits the bill
- More the features, more chances of buying a phone (Remember how we were sold on 3G phones even when we didn't have the technology with mobile phone operators?).
- Smartphones are in. They're cool and they kick arse. A majority of people at mobile stores cannot make out difference between an Android phone or a Windows Phone 7 device. Not unless they see it on the packaging or it's told to them.
- People are buying iPhones too. They're just a little too expensive to find a majority here.
- Cheaper phones are still selling well. They are also getting much better with more and more features packed into them. Still highly unreliable but people don't mind that with the low price tag.
- A strong segment, I like to call smartphone-segment, is brewing up. The buyers here are keen on great smartphones and keep on changing their phones at regular intervals to make sure they have the latest mobile phone technology in their hands.
How does the future look like?
Two words to put it – pretty solid. In the next five years the number of smartphone owners would really increase. Like Godzilla-times the number of smartphones that are sold right now. More people will move on from feature-phones to smartphones as they get more affordable(Now I'm starting to sound like a pundit, I'm not). With Android, Windows Phone 7 and iOS's strong presence in the market in the present as well as the near future, smartphone usage is all set to explode. Who knows we might have more smartphones than Mc Donald's in the next 5 years.

Yemen: 'Somalia is in better shape than us'
Posted by Richard Warnick in Disaster, Foreign Policy, National Politics, Religious Fundamentalism, War on April 2, 2015
Protest against Saudi air strikes, March 26 in Sanaa
The news from Yemen is that a humanitarian disaster is rapidly overtaking the Arab world's poorest country, which the USA helped to destabilize with drone strikes against Islamic militants. The Saudis are poised to finish the job, committing war crimes with U.S. – made weapon systems.
"It is a terrible situation and it is moving so fast," Julien Harneis, the Yemen representative of the United Nations Children Fund, told The Associated Press. "We are heading toward a humanitarian disaster."
…In the southern city of Aden, medical supplies are running out. Doctors Without Borders, which operates in the city, said it has received over 500 wounded, including more than 110 on the first day of airstrikes. UNICEF is giving out midwife kits to treat injured civilians because of lack of supplies.
…In al-Houta, a city north of Aden, people are fleeing fighting to nearby villages for safety and to find goods and produce, said 28-year old resident Ahmed Rageh. The local gas station has been closed for nearly three weeks. "It is a disastrous situation. Somalia is now in a better shape than us," he said.
It's heartbreaking to see catastrophe overtake a beautiful country with such a rich history and friendly people. I lived there for two years in the early 1990s, traveled to visit ancient ruins and poor but architecturally fascinating villages. There was virtually no crime. But many problems were waiting to surface, particularly the disenfranchisement of Shiites and the uneasy relationship with Saudi Arabia – which has invaded Yemen in the past.
Rudy Giuliani: 'I do not believe that the President loves America'
Posted by Richard Warnick in 2016 Elections, 9/11, Barack Obama, Bush Administration, Disaster, Economy, Federal Budget, Foreign Policy, Health Care, Human Rights, Hypocrisy, National Politics, Republicans, War on February 21, 2015
Via Politico:
NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani went straight for the jugular Wednesday night during a private group dinner here featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by openly questioning whether President Barack Obama "loves America."
…"I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America," Giuliani said during the dinner at the 21 Club, a former Prohibition-era speakeasy in midtown Manhattan. "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."
When you start out with, "I know this is a horrible thing to say…" maybe you should not say it?
I think it's time to question whether the Tea-GOP "loves America." The Bush administration failed to defend us from the single worst terrorist attack in history. They sent millions of Americans to fight unwinnable wars halfway around the world. They ruined America's reputation as a defender of human rights, replacing it with wars of aggression and torture. They put the NSA to work spying on all of us. They abandoned New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. They topped themselves by crashing our economy, causing millions of Americans to lose jobs, homes, and retirement savings. Then they waged a years-long campaign of economic sabotage in a failed attempt to stop the Obama administration from helping America recover from Bush's Great Recession, including a government shutdown, a near-default on the National Debt, and the so-called "sequester" (aka austerity budgeting). Now they are trying to take away health insurance from 13 million Americans, and prevent millions more from getting any in the first place.
I am NOT feeling the love!

Draft AUMF 'Intentionally Fuzzy'
Posted by Richard Warnick in Barack Obama, congress, Foreign Policy, Iraq, ISIS, Military, National Politics, Syria, The Constitution, This Blog, War on February 11, 2015
Source: The Daily Mirror
The Constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.
Via MSNBC:
President Obama asked Congress on Wednesday for new war powers to go after the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The draft resolution (PDF) asks Congress to enact a three-year Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against ISIS. The resolution notably restricts the use of American ground troops and seeks to avoid a prolonged conflict.
Obama announced his plan to launch airstrikes against ISIS back in September, and the White House's AUMF resolution seeks to formalize the U.S. military campaign to "degrade and defeat" ISIS.
The draft AUMF has already been criticized as imprecise. For example, it defines the enemy as "ISIL [sic] or associated persons or forces." But that would include the so-called "moderate" Syrian rebels (armed by the U.S.), who routinely fight alongside ISIS. Like the 2001 AUMF (which would remain in effect), there is no geographical limitation in the new draft AUMF. Potentially it could authorize attacking Boko Haram in Nigeria.
Asked today if he agreed that language was "fuzzy," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest replied with a firm yes, saying it is "intentionally" fuzzy "because we believe it's important that there aren't overly burdensome constraints that are placed on the commander-in-chief."
I left the Army with the rank of captain, but it doesn't take a four-star general to realize you can't fight a war intelligently unless you know who the enemy is, and where to find them. Oh, and by the way this draft AUMF is probably a violation of the U.N. Charter – though that's somewhat debatable.
Hill Progressive Leaders Come Out Against Obama's AUMF: 'Too Broad'
"The devastating and costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us that when we give military authority to the executive, it should not be a blank check," Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Keith Ellison (D-MN), and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) said.
"Unfortunately, the authorization proposed by the president this week is too broad. In order to ensure meaningful limits on executive branch authority, an AUMF should at a minimum contain a clear objective and geographical limitations. It should also include an enforceable ban on the deployment of ground troops with exception for only the most limited of operations, unambiguous language, and a repeal of the 2001 AUMF," they said.

Jihadists Still Have The Initiative in Syria and Iraq
Posted by Richard Warnick in Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Iraq, ISIS, Military, National Politics, Syria, War on December 16, 2014

It's time once again to check in with The Long War Journal and see how things are going in Syria and Iraq. Oh, not good. The Al Nusrah Front, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria, Ahrar al Sham, and elements of the Western-backed Free Syrian Army have reportedly taken Syrian Army positions in the northwestern province of Idlib.
The Al Nusrah Front, supported by jihadist groups Ahrar al Sham and Jund al Aqsa, and units from the Free Syrian Army, today claimed to have overrun Wadi Al Daif, a Syrian Army base located just east of the city of Maa'rat al Nu'man. In addition, Ahrar al Sham, Al Nusrah, and the Free Syrian Army also advanced on Al Hamadiya, which sits just south of the city; the groups claimed to have taken partial control of Al Hamadiya.
Control of the two bases is critical for the Syrian military as they straddle the M5 highway, the main road from Aleppo to Damascus.
Meanwhile in Iraq, ISIS has renewed its attack on Samarra and nearby towns.
The Islamic State seeks to control Samarra and towns and cites to its south in order to secure the northern Baghdad belt. Jihadist control of this area would make it difficult for Iraqi forces to resupply and reinforce military units north of the city. Additionally, the Islamic State would use this area to disrupt security in Baghdad.
The Iraqi government has allowed Shiite militias, including the Badr Brigade, Hezbollah Brigade, Asaib al Haq (League of the Righteous), and Muqtada al Sadr's Promised Day Brigade, all of which are supported by Iran's Qods Force, to reinforce beleaguered and demoralized Iraqi forces in Samarra. These militias have remained on the front line and have secured cities and towns, many of which are predominantly Sunni communities, along the road from Samarra to Baghdad.
ISIS is also trying to consolidate its hold on Anbar Province.
Islamic State fighters launched an assault on al Wafa, which is west of the provincial capital of Ramadi, on Dec. 12 and defeated Iraqi security forces and local tribal fighters.
…The Islamic State maintains the initiative in Anbar province, most of which is under its control. The provincial capital of Ramadi and the town of Haditha remain contested terrain. The Iraqi military, the Awakening, and Iranian-backed Shiite militias have been unable to wrest control of the province from the Islamic state since Fallujah and other cities and towns fell in January 2013.
Since Dec. 10, the US has conducted 16 airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, and the US and partners have carried out 29 airstrikes against the group in Iraq. President Obama told US troops: "The time of deploying large ground forces with big military footprints to engage in nation building overseas, that's coming to an end."

ISIS Advances Continue Despite Air Strikes

The current situation in the war against ISIS, via CNN:
The United States and its allies have made at least 271 airstrikes in Iraq and 116 in Syria.
The cost? More than $62 million for just the munitions alone.
The effect? Negligible, some say, particularly in Iraq.
One by one, the cities have fallen to ISIS like dominoes: Hit, Albu Aytha, Kubaisya, Saqlawia and Sejal.
And standing on the western outskirts of Baghdad, ISIS is now within sight.
The Long War Journal reports that ISIS captured a battalion of tanks (that's up to 54 tanks) at Hit after they were abandoned by fleeing Iraqi soldiers.
The U.S. is now flying risky missions around Fallujah using AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. This means the "air war" now openly includes ground combat, because American military doctrine (PDF) classifies an attack helicopter force as a maneuver element, the same as infantry or armor.
Meanwhile in Syria, ISIS is about to occupy the town of Kobani (Ayn al-Arab) on the Turkish border. Turkey has refused to aid the Kurdish defenders, despite U.S. requests. Air strikes in the vicinity of Kobani have failed to stop the three-week assault on the town.

The Unknown Knowns Redux
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Barack Obama, CIA, Foreign Policy, National Politics, War on September 29, 2014
Former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld famously ruminated on the difference between "known knowns," "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns" in the intel business. It seems to me that our intelligence services (all 17 of them) have the most difficulty with sorting out the unknown knowns (i.e. things widely reported, whose significance is apparently unknown to the government). The news media told us about the the capture of Fallujah by ISIS 9 months ago. (At that time, ISIS was best known as the employer of fictional spy Sterling Archer). Ought to have been a wake-up call, don't you think?
President Obama, unlike the last one, is at least able to acknowledge and take responsibility for a mistake:
America failed to recognize the threat posed by Islamic State terrorists and mistakenly relied on the hapless Iraqi army to combat them, President Obama admitted in an interview broadcast Sunday night.
In an about-face from earlier remarks that likened ISIS to a terrorist "JV team," Obama told CBS's "60 Minutes" that he agreed with National Intelligence Director James Clapper's recent assessment that "we underestimated the Islamic State."
"Jim Clapper has acknowledged that I think they underestimated . . . what had been taking place in Syria," Obama said.
The president also called it "absolutely true" that the United States put too much faith in the Iraqi army, whose soldiers turned tail rather than wage war against ISIS fighters invading from Syria.
Obama's comments marked his bluntest acknowledgment that the United States bungled the initial response to ISIS, which American-led planes began bombing inside Syria this month.
More info: ISIS Fast Facts
UPDATE: Tom Engelhardt: The Massive Failure of American Intelligence
[F]rom the Egyptian spring and the Syrian disaster to the crisis in Ukraine, American intelligence has, as far as we can tell, regularly been one step late and one assessment short, when not simply blindsided by events. As a result, the Obama administration often seems in a state of eternal surprise at developments across the globe.
Destroy ISIS – That's The Objective?
Posted by Richard Warnick in Barack Obama, Drone Strikes, Foreign Policy, Iraq, ISIS, National Politics, Syria, This Blog, War on September 12, 2014
President Obama is now the fourth President in a row who's leading us into war in Iraq. Additionally, he again wants to attack Syria (but Washington seems to have switched sides in the Syrian civil war since a year ago). Considering the outcomes of previous American military adventures in the Middle East, is this really a good idea? The plan, such as it is, will consist of using mostly air power and special operations forces in cooperation with allied ground forces. The stated objective is to "degrade, and ultimately destroy" ISIS. However, we've failed to "destroy" any of the Islamic insurgent forces we've fought against over the past 13 years – they are all still thriving, including ISIS (which started out as al-Qaeda in Iraq).
Rajiv Chandrasekaran in the WaPo:
"Harder than anything we've tried to do thus far in Iraq or Afghanistan" is how one U.S. general involved in war planning described the challenges ahead… "This is the most complex problem we've faced since 9/11. We don't have a precedent for this."
Adding to the level of difficulty is the fact that the USA will be fighting on the same side as Bashir al-Assad, al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Iran. And the nascent Iraqi government of of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is an uncertain ally at best. Probably half the Iraqi Army has been rendered combat-ineffective as a result of ISIS advances.

Tom Engelhardt: ISIS Can Thank Washington
Posted by Richard Warnick in 9/11, al Qaeda, Barack Obama, Bush Failures, Disaster, Foreign Policy, Iraq, ISIS, Military, National Politics, Terrorism, War on September 2, 2014
At this point, I think everyone has finally realized that following the al-Qaeda game plan post-9/11 didn't turn out well. The aim of strategy is to force the enemy to conform to your will. Al-Qaeda had a strategy, and we really didn't. The Bush administration sent our military to chase after who-knows-who in some 60 countries. When President Obama says, "we don't have a strategy yet" to avoid spending more trillions and more American lives to give ISIS exactly what they want, he is stating a fact.
Tom Engelhardt (emphasis added):
Though the militants of ISIS would undoubtedly be horrified to think so, they are the spawn of Washington. Thirteen years of regional war, occupation, and intervention played a major role in clearing the ground for them. They may be our worst nightmare (thus far), but they are also our legacy — and not just because so many of their leaders came from the Iraqi army we disbanded, had their beliefs and skills honed in the prisons we set up (Camp Bucca seems to have been the West Point of Iraqi extremism), and gained experience facing U.S. counterterror operations in the "surge" years of the occupation. In fact, just about everything done in the war on terror has facilitated their rise. After all, we dismantled the Iraqi army and rebuilt one that would flee at the first signs of ISIS's fighters, abandoning vast stores of Washington's weaponry to them. We essentially destroyed the Iraqi state, while fostering a Shia leader who would oppress enough Sunnis in enough ways to create a situation in which ISIS would be welcomed or tolerated throughout significant areas of the country.
"Blowback" can't even begin to describe a strategic failure of this magnitude. It would be nice to think that the Obama administration has the intelligence and fortitude to design a new strategy that goes beyond "don't do stupid shit." I don't think that. Nobody in Washington is prepared to call the Global War on Terror an utter failure, or admit that ISIS could not have triumphed without our help. It's reasonable to predict the USA will keep doing the same thing (if only for lack of a better idea), hoping for different results.

Managing the Large-Scale Penetration of Intermittent Renewables
On April 20, 2011, the MIT Energy Initiative held a symposium on Managing Large-Scale Penetration of Intermittent Renewables. The focus of the symposium was on how renewable energy standards affect power system capacity planning and operations, assuming affordable, scalable electricity storage options will not be available for at least a decade, and probably more. Until such breakthroughs materialize, capacity planning and implementation are still required. As countries increasingly embrace intermittent renewable resources, they will confront the operational challenges this poses for baseload power generation and generators. The results of the symposium, including commissioned white papers and other submitted technical papers, are available here. In this briefing, held on March 12, 2012, the following symposium participants outlined the key findings.
Purpose of Report/Introductions - Melanie Kenderdine, Executive Director, MITEI
Operational/Economic Impacts of Thermal Cycling
Coal Plants - Howard Herzog, Senior Research Engineer, MITEI
