Nelson Mandela; Was He Virtuous or Heartless?
South Africa – Who was Nelson Mandela and why does the world hold this icon in such high esteem? He is a heartless person and a virtuous being as well.
Nelson Mandela died in June, amid a huge conspiracy by the government and his family. It is still recorded by the presidency that he is alive and making a remarkable improvement as time goes by.
Nelson Mandela was a man on a mission, recognized as a heroic figure internationally; portrayed as a loving father and spouse. His profound and enlightening statements continue to travel the internet, sparking a tremendous love toward this man who is no longer with us. We all too well remember the good side of Nelson Mandela. We never hear of his weaknesses, his flaws and his wrongdoings. It is no surprise to most of the world that he is a human being just like others and not perfect.
The world recalls the dark days and the turbulent time the masses suffered under white supremacy and the apartheid regime. The world endorsed Nelson Mandela as the first democratic black President of South Africa and gave him icon status. They loved this man, as did the majority of South Africans. His past mistakes and faults were quickly forgiven and forgotten, and so the heroic legendary Mandela was portrayed as a man who could do no wrong. Yes; Mandela was an extraordinary man with incredible virtues and one who showed remarkable loyalty toward his people. He gave them freedom and started a strategy to ensure that they will forever live a life of liberty.
Mandela paid a price for this freedom; he had to sign an agreements before his release from prison. He had to ensure that there was a place in the beautiful land for all races, and abide by the new constitution written and passed into law before his release. Freedom meant success of democracy, a promise of a better future and an excellent opportunity to accumulate vast wealth.
Mandela started his political career as the first democratic President and enlisted all his loyal and murderous ANC comrades into the highest positions in Government. He opened up the borders of this country and allowed an influx of neighbors to come into a prosperous South Africa and live a life of opulence. He had no choice; after all, it was these neighboring African countries that helped the ANC during their struggle by supplying them with financial aid, arms and accommodation. He took his begging bowl, traveled around the world, and dramatized his 27-year imprisonment of pain and suffering. Leaders from all around the globe showed empathy toward the already old man and gave him unlimited investment opportunities and resources. Mandela, in turn, brought this back to his country and set up the greed factor. His personal wealth and that of his comrades increased and this fascination for money spiraled into corruption, bribery and theft.
The immigrants wanted their fair share of the pie, and so the high increase in crime began to spiral out of control. As the years went by, the crime statistics escalated at an alarming rate, forcing the citizens of South Africa to live as virtual prisoners within their homes. Gone are the days of walking down the road or letting your child play at a public park. The risk of rape, robbery or murder is far too high.
Housing became a problem and – although the ANC government kept on promising houses for all their people – after twenty years, this is but a dream. Squatter camps started rising up around the country, causing the influx of immigrants to live in the dirtiest conditions. With the disgusting, filthy living conditions other problems escalated; health issues became a nightmare fora public health services that, after twenty years, has transformed the once prominent operation into filthy buildings with no adequate facilities and far too few medical personnel.
Schooling and education – a legacy that Mandela embraced – became a complete nightmare; the Government allowing the standard of education to drop, forcing the crowded understaffed schools to under-perform. Drugs are the new way of life and obtaining these are simple – even the policing services are involved. Terrorist activities escalate, as South African becomes the haven for such dealings.
Nelson Mandela received numerous honors, including a Nobel Peace Prize, during his ruling years. A man honored as a savior and given iconic status and ranking as he transformed the lovely country of South African into a democratic land. The famed Nelson Mandela was portrayed as a perfect human being of almost mythical status and revered by millions. As the years swept by his popularity grew, and he was worshiped in a twisted cult movement throughout the world.
Nelson Mandela was a murderer as well; we tend to forget the brutal history of how he orchestrated and ordered the bombings of innocent people in and around shopping malls, sports fields and other soft targets. His involvement as an 'anti-apartheid' fighter should not be ignored. While in prison, he remained the leader of the ANC and had access to the facts and events around the country. He could channel his commands to the comrades who were strategically placed on the outside of his prison.
After his first term of presidency ended, Mandela remained a popular public figure and endorsed the practices of the ANC government. It is now a sad fact that the world allowed this man to take the status of a 'God' who, even in death, continues to influence the state of the ANC political party.
The Mandela name is powerful and will not be forgotten. We will remember Nelson Mandela as he certainly played a crucial role in history yet we will never forget his sinful nature and how he initiated the downfall of a beautiful country. We don't know if his soul is up or down – only God Most High knows.

Ashill you are deluded/confused Nelson is guilty as charged, he sang Kill the white after his release in company of great crowds with toddlers on the shoulders of their parents cultivating Hate for generations, he was responsible for training Mk terrorists in Zambia who still to this day is terrorizing S.A. He never ever denounced violence and never spoke out about the killing of the Whites nor the killing or rape and violence in the Black communities where babies gets raped, rather he Basked in the adorations of the Hollywood Brainless, druggies like Amy Wynehouse etc. If only he practiced what he preached To the world S.A. WOULD HAVE BEEN A PARADISE INSTEAD OF A GANGERSTERS GOVERNMENT AND PARAISE. He knew very, very well who his successors was going to be and were great buddies with Zuma and the corrupt crowd.
Here in Canada in the Vancouver Sun even more of the otrocities of the aspiring Grave Train Comrades who were killed was exposed, 38 aspiring Gravey Train Guys In Kwa Zulu Natal was murdered. S.A. Media does not tell you the true stories of the Wicked ANC Government trained by Nelson The "Great" TERRORIST. The only Nobel prize he deserves is one for the best Two Faced Politician/Terrorist ever in all history
Do not forget before the Black life expectancy was 34 years, Unser the dreaded Apartheid regime it changed to Life expectancy being 64 Years when The Great Nelson took over, WHAT is it now under ANC Rule??
Seems like a very pro-white viewpoint. Mandela was not a murderer – unless you foolishly believe he could communicate to the ANC while in prison all those years.He was not responsible for any of the bombings and attacks for which some people are so eager to shift blame onto him. Although I disagree with the almost deifying of his name, one cannot possible hold him accountable for all the corruption and failures of his successors in government, who indeed have turned South Africa into a terrible place in which to live. As for "the blood of children, women, the aged, and farmers dripping from his fingers," only a coward and ignorant person can make such a statement – someone who simply can't let go of firm prejudices and wants to believe anything but the truth!
Oh for goodness sake ASHIL , you have no clue, look at the SA now has it improved in any way now that the blacks have reign, it is a mess. Nelson Mandela used violence and he preached violence, the true hero if you are looking for one is DeKlerk who released him from prison and gave the blacks the vote.

One of the most exciting additions that HTML5 offers to designers is the ability to draw free-form graphics on a drawing surface known as the Canvas. In this course, author Joe Marini introduces the technical concepts behind Canvas and shows how to perform drawing operations directly in a web page. The course covers drawing basic and complex shapes, setting colors and styles, adding shadows, patterns, and gradients, more advanced techniques such as scaling, rotating, and compositing objects, and how to incorporate Canvas elements in a slideshow and an animation.
The scale transformation causes drawing operations to be multiplied by a scale factor in the X and Y directions. And you can scale operations in the X and Y directions independently. You can provide a scaling factor for X and a scaling factor for Y. So the way that scale transformation works is pretty simple. So suppose I had a rectangle that was 20 pixels wide and 10 pixels high. Well, if you put that through a scale transform and I pass in say a factor of 2 for both the X and the Y direction, the result of that would be, if I call the same function, even though I said fill the rectangle with 20 pixels wide and 10 high, because of the scale factor, this would be 40 pixels wide and 20 pixels high. So let's take a look at that in code and see how it works.
So here I am in the code editor, and I've got my Scale Transform section of my snippets. So let's open up our scale example. So here is our scaling code. Let's go back to the snippets. So I'm going to copy this guy over and paste. So, a couple of things I want to point out. First, I'm using the blue fill style to fill the rectangle at the 0,0 location.
So what I'm going to do now is perform a scale transform and draw the same size rectangle again, only at a different location. So here you can see the width and the height of the same. I'm just offsetting this rectangle so we can see it. I'm also using the save and restore in order to save the drawing context of the canvas and restore it after doing any drawing. So let's save. Let's go out to the scale_start. So you can see, here is the rectangle, right. Here is the first one. Here is the second one.
Now they're both being told to draw at the same size, but because of the scaling factor, this one is larger. So let's take a look at where save and restore canvas state come in handy. So suppose these weren't here, and suppose I had another call to scale, only in this case I want to scale things down. So I would say, instead of 1.50.5-- and let's change this one to 0.5 as well, and I'll do the same thing with the fillRect, and in fact I'll offset this one a little bit--325--so we can see it.
Now let's go over to the canvas and see what happened. We'll refresh. Actually, I should probably move it a little bit more. So you can see that the scale factor is not really affecting this the way that we'd expect it to, because what's happening is I'm first doing a scale-up and then a scale back down. If I put save and restore around this, watch how that changes things.
Now we save, and then we go back out. Now let's refresh. See, now things are really being shrunk down. So what was happening was, since I was calling this scale function after this one--remember, transforms are additive. So I go from a scale factor of 1 to a scale factor of 1.5 and then 2. Then I go to scale factor of a half. Well, that only cuts this scale factor in half, not the original one. But by putting the save and restore around it, this scale function operates on the drawing context's regional scale factor, which is 1 and 1 in both the X and Y directions.
So now we've seen how to use a scale transform and we've even seen how to use save and restore to save the canvas's drawing context so that transforms don't interfere with each other.

Economic Reforms to Speed Europe Recovery, Industry Leader Says
Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Reforms enacted during the global financial crisis will help Europe recover more quickly than it has in the past, according to Leif Johansson, chairman of the European Round Table of Industrialists.
"I am more optimistic," Johansson said in an interview in London today. "We will see a quicker pace of uptake than we're used to," and mergers and acquisitions are picking up, said the Swede, who is also chairman of drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc and Ericsson AB, the world's largest maker of wireless networks.
Structural changes including pension reform toward a contribution-based system and greater flexibility in labor markets are helping countries including Greece and Spain rebound, he said. Euro-area factory output expanded faster than initially estimated in January, London-based Markit Economics said today. Economic confidence in Europe increased for a ninth month in January.
ERT's 53 members are chief executive officers or chairmen of some of Europe's biggest companies including Roche Holding AG, Nestle SA and Royal Dutch Shell Plc. Their businesses invest more than 50 billion euros ($68 billion) annually in research and development, equivalent to 18 percent of total European R&D spending, according to the Brussels-based group.
The U.K. may be missing out on some investment due to Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to renegotiate Britain's relationship with the European Union before a 2017 referendum on whether to quit the bloc, said Johansson, who is 62.
"It's a valid threat," he said. "We want the U.K. in Europe. For business that's an unpredictable situation and that's going to be negative. It's easy for boards to say let's wait three months and you miss out on investment."
The ERT also supports eliminating tariffs with the U.S. as the European Commission negotiates with the U.S. Trade Representative to expand the world's biggest economic relationship.
A new free trade agreement would be a "good way to get extra fuel as we enter a reasonably favorable cycle," Johansson said.

Philadelphia, PA, August 22, 2011 - Depression is increasingly recognized as an illness that strikes repeatedly over the lifespan, creating cycles of relapse and recovery. This sobering knowledge has prompted researchers to search for markers of relapse risk in people who have recovered from depression. A new paper published in Elsevier's Biological Psychiatry suggests that when formerly depressed people experience mild states of sadness, the nature of their brains' response can predict whether or not they will become depressed again.
Patients who ruminate and activate the brain's frontal lobes are more likely to relapse into depression than those who respond with acceptance and activate visual areas in the back of the brain. Part of what makes depression such a devastating disorder is the high rate of relapse: each time a person becomes clinically depressed, increases their chances of becoming depressed by 16%. However, the fact that some patients are able to fully maintain their recovery points to the possibility that differences in the way they respond to everyday emotional challenges may reduce their chances of relapse.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine that possibility, researchers presented sixteen formerly-depressed patients with sad movie clips while taking pictures of their brain activity. Over the next year and a half, nine of the sixteen patients relapsed into depression. The researchers compared the brain activity of relapsing patients against those who remained healthy and against another group of people who had never been depressed. When faced with sadness, relapsing patients showed more activity in a frontal region of the brain known as the medial prefrontal gyrus. Responses in this frontal region were also linked to higher rumination scores, the tendency to think obsessively about negative events. Patients who did not relapse showed more activity in the rear part of the brain responsible for proces

ROSEMONT, Ill. — Conference commissioners are considering the possibility of adding another game to be part of the semifinal rotation for the new college football playoff.
The postseason plan approved by university presidents in June called for the national semifinals to rotate among six bowl sites. The years those sites do not host semifinals, they would be marquee bowl games, involving other highly ranked teams.
CHICAGO — Penn State linebacker Michael Mauti said Friday he knows of only two or three players who are planning to leave the Nittany Lions after the severe sanctions imposed earlier this week by the NCAA.
Speaking at Big Ten media day, the senior said the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal isn't the players' fault, but added it's a situation they must deal with. One way he sees to do that is go out and play inspired football under first-year coach Bill O'Brien.
CHICAGO — Bill O'Brien is looking straight ahead. It's the only choice he really has at Penn State.
The questions keep coming and he doesn't flinch: How will he handle what has become one of the most difficult jobs in college football? How about other schools trying to lure his players away? How can he make do with reduced scholarships and no bowl appearances the next four years?
CHICAGO — Tim Hudson pitched well enough to win on most days. He allowed five hits and a run in seven innings, but his Atlanta Braves teammates had even more trouble with Chicago lefty Paul Maholm.
Maholm and two relievers combined on a four-hit shutout and the Braves wasted Hudson's strong outing, losing to the Cubs 1-0 Wednesday.
"Huddy was outstanding," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I thought we had some balls hit right at people with people in scoring position. They did a nice job defending us there."
CHICAGO — Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez wasn't around to see the final two innings from the dugout after being ejected in the seventh inning Monday night.
He wasn't sure after a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs why he got tossed, but he did know that his team missed some big scoring chances in the latter stages of the game.
SOUTH BEND, Ind — Maybe coach Mike Brey's biggest surprise during Notre Dame's nine-game winning streak was picking up a technical foul. Unhappy with a call as the Irish were negotiating their way through a physical stretch of play against West Virginia, Brey nearly lost his seat on the bench.
"I don't get many (technicals)," Brey said. "I was close to getting thrown out."
MILWAUKEE — Baseball owners unanimously approved the sale of the Houston Astros from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane on Thursday, which will lead to the team moving from the NL Central to the AL West for the 2013 season.
The decision will give each league 15 teams, baseball's first realignment since the Milwaukee Brewers switched from the AL to the NL after the 1997 season.
The Chicago Cubs have hired Dale Sveum as their new manager, hoping the Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach can help turn around the long-suffering franchise.
The Cubs said Sveum would be introduced at a news conference today at Wrigley Field.
Sveum replaces Mike Quade, who was fired by Theo Epstein, the team's new president of baseball operations. The Cubs finished 71-91 after a disappointing season that extended their infamous championship drought to 103 seasons.
CHICAGO — Theo Epstein is leaving the Boston Red Sox after a remarkable run that included two World Series championships. He's joining the Chicago Cubs to see if he can bring success to another team steeped in history and starved for a title.
The 37-year-old Epstein became the president of baseball operations for the Cubs on Friday night after resigning with a year left on his contract as general manager of the Red Sox.
With Epstein at the helm, the Red Sox ended an 86-year World Series championship drought in 2004 and won the title again in 2007.
CHICAGO — The Cubs are still talking with the Boston Red Sox about compensation in a deal to bring general manager Theo Epstein to Chicago, a person familiar with the negotiations said Friday.
Epstein has agreed to a deal with the Cubs and would leave Boston with a year remaining on his contract, the person said on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are confidential. The deal is reportedly for five years.

Manufacturing inconsistencies...
Hartley from Truckee, CA – Verified Buyer
What should have taken no more than 10 to 15 minutes to "build," required a little over a half-hour to complete. The problems? Poorly drilled holes for the armrests as well as poorly manufactured screws. The base unit goes together easily... no problems there. When it came to the armrests, lining up the pre-drilled holes with the screws was a challenge, to say the least. For the upper portion of the armrests that had to be affixed to the back of the unit, in two cases, the fabric of the backrest partially covered the pre-drilled holes... unless you check the pre-drilled holes prior to screwing in the screws, you'll be wishing the chair had never arrived. Two of the screws were poorly fabricated and were slightly bent, which required the power of a pile driver to ensure a fit into the holes... when one has arthritis in the hands and fingers, this was quite a painful experience. The chair finally was completed, and when sat in, pushed against the back and forced the "sitter" forward. There is no "tilt" mechanism to move the backrest "backwards" to allow for a more comfortable sitting position. The elevator control worked just fine. For the money spent, I would increase your budget a wee bit more to obtain a chair that (perhaps??) isn't manufactured in China, or one that offers some more sitting comfort controls. There is not much one can do about poor manufacturing of the screws or the screw holes, other than try and force the materials where they are supposed to be... definitely a building challenge for younger folk, that's for certain.

Tourism, hospitality officials weigh in against Shelby County wage theft ordinance
Critics of a proposed Shelby County wage theft ordinance — among them Greg Adkins, president of the Tennessee Hospitality Association — spoke out during the County Commission's economic development and tourism committee meeting on Wednesday.
The ordinance, sponsored by Commissioner Steve Mulroy, would give the county the authority to investigate and fine businesses if it's determined that they failed to pay workers an agreed-upon wage.
The hospitality industry opposes the ordinance because it creates a "very dangerous statewide precedent" for wage and hour enforcement issues, Adkins said.
With 95 counties and about 350 incorporated cities in Tennessee, each community could have its own wage theft ordinance, he said.
"It could create a different burden in each one of those jurisdictions where our members have to comply with it," Adkins said.
Adkins was flanked by Mike Miller, president of the Memphis Restaurant Association, and Wayne Tabor, president of the Metropolitan Memphis Hotel and Lodging Association.
Mulroy defended the law against accusations that it was anti-business, saying the burden to present proof of wage theft is on the employee.
He told the committee that he had contacted the U. S. Department of Labor and was told that the office received 20 calls a week, about 1,000 a year, from Shelby County asking about wage theft.
"I spoke to the head of the Department of Labor for the Southeast region, and he said unless (a complaint) is a pattern and practice case that has a potential industrywide effect, we're not going to look at it," Mulroy said.
And attorneys also turn away cases because of the small amount of money to be recovered, he said.
"It is not an anti-business measure. This is a measure that is going to help legitimate businesses who are the victim of unscrupulous businesses that get to cut costs illegally by stealing money from their employees," Mulroy said.
Commissioner Steve Basar said he appreciated the work Mulroy has put into moving the ordinance forward, but said there are more important issues for the commission to address.
"We've spent hours and hours on this. And quite frankly we should be spending hours on issues that are much more important to the community, such as infant mortality, poverty, developing and generating jobs," Basar said. "I just think that all the time we've spent on this we should be spending on things that are more important, more significant."
Kevin Kane, president of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau, attended the meeting but did not address the commissioners.
After the vote, he noted his opposition as well.
"We feel like this is an extra layer that puts unnecessary burden on restaurants and hotels," Kane said. "I think that Commissioner Mulroy's heart's in the right place in fighting for the rights of people that are being taken advantage of. While we sympathize with those folks, we feel like with the processes in place, this is an unnecessary step."
Although a move to amend the ordinance was voted down in committee, Mulroy is still attempting to modify the ordinance to incorporate suggestions from the hotel and restaurant leaders. He expects the ordinance to come before the full commission in January.

Candidates for gastric banding must have a body mass index of between 30 and 40 — plus a weight-related medical condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure — or a BMI of 40 and higher. They also must have previously attempted to lose weight through diet and exercise.
"If you eat appropriately and chew your food, it works nicely," said Dr. Christina Li, a bariatric doctor at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. She said Christie has the resources to have people help him eat right and get exercise. While the band is removable, she said patients are told to adjust to having it for the rest of their lives.
Li said risks include infection, and that it does not work for all patients.
Dr. Jaime Ponce, who practices in Dalton, Ga., and is president of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, said people who have the procedure Christie had often lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.
Christie's procedure was performed by Dr. George Fielding, head of NYU Medical Center's Weight Management Program, who did the same procedure for New York Jets coach Rex Ryan three years ago.
"It basically teaches you how to eat like a human," Ryan said of the device in an interview last week with The Associated Press. "The Lap-Band goes: 'No, no. You're only going to eat this or that,' and it trains your body how to eat right," said Ryan, who said he has lost 115 pounds from his pre-surgery weight of 348.
Few significantly overweight presidential candidates have succeeded in the modern political era, when television became a major factor in shaping voter attitudes. There are disputed reports that President William Howard Taft couldn't fit in a White House bathtub a century ago, but only a handful of presidents since have been considered obese. President Bill Clinton struggled at times with his weight, but he was substantially slimmer than the New Jersey governor.
"This has nothing to do with politics," said Christie adviser Bill Palatucci. "He said that he's doing this for his family and that's the right reason."
Backers publicly argue that Christie answered any questions about his weight's political impact in 2009, when he beat Gov. Jon Corzine despite the Democrat's reference in an ad to Christie "throwing his weight around" to get out of traffic tickets. Supporters say Christie's openness about his struggle is part of an authenticity people admire in him.
The governor's allies, medical professionals and even history suggest that his weight presents both practical and political problems.
"Gov. Christie's weight is an issue the same way that any candidate or official's health is an issue," said Michael Dennehy, a New Hampshire-based Republican strategist and veteran of presidential politics. "Anyone running for president will need to comfort Americans with an overall healthy picture for their future."

Street Fighter IV PC version delayed
If for some reason, you were waiting for Street Fighter IV on the PC, it is not set for the same "winter" release as the console versions, which we reported yesterday.
Capcom has insisted that a PC version is still in the making, but unfortunately, can't even commit to a vague release window.
All it could manage was that a "PC version is in the works, but will come post-console release".
Certainly disappointing, at least it is for those without a 360 or PS3. Because seriously, if you have one of those, you wouldn't be holding out for the PC version would you?

McCain on Afghanistan at AEI
11:13 AM, Feb 25, 2009 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
Senator McCain is just now delivering a speech at AEI on the war in Afghanistan. Some highlights:
Full text of the speech after the jump.More than three years ago, I spoke at AEI about the war in Iraq. At that time, conditions on the ground were going from bad to worse. Violence had accelerated out of control, al Qaeda had firmly entrenched itself in Anbar province, and Iranian-backed Shia militias had taken control of large swaths of Baghdad and southern Iraq. The Iraqi government and its security forces appeared hopelessly corrupt, sectarian, ineffective, and unable to break the cycle of reciprocal violence fueled by Sunni and Shiite extremists. The Bush administration continued to pursue a failed war strategy-despite mounting evidence of its catastrophic consequences.
More and more Americans, members of Congress and opinion leaders wondered whether the war in Iraq could ever be won, or whether it was already lost.
It seemed obvious to me that failure in Iraq would be a calamity, and to prevent it we would have to accept the urgent necessity of a new strategy - a strategy based on the fundamental principles of counterinsurgency, the imperative to secure the civilian population, and a significant increase in the number of American troops. Yet more than a year passed, as the deteriorating situation in Iraq approached the point of no return and a substantial majority of Americans turned firmly against the war, before President Bush at last shifted course, dismissed Secretary Rumsfeld, and adopted such a strategy.
Thanks to the courage and skill of our troops on the ground and the wisdom of leaders such as General David Petraeus, Ambassador Ryan Crocker, and General Ray Odierno, the collapse of the American effort in Iraq was not just arrested but reversed. With the right strategy finally in place - and I should note the intellectual contributions to it by General Jack Keane, Fred and Kim Kagan, Andrew Krepinevich, and Gary Schmitt - and the resources on the ground necessary to implement it, we not only stepped back from the precipice of a strategic disaster of immense and long lasting consequences, but progressed toward obtaining our objectives in Iraq beyond the
We now face a similar moment with respect to the war in Afghanistan. The situation in Afghanistan is nowhere near as dire as it was in Iraq just two years ago - to cite one example, civilian fatalities at their peak in Iraq were ten times higher than civilian deaths at their peak in Afghanistan last year. But the same truth that was apparent three years ago in Iraq is apparent today in Afghanistan: when you aren't winning in this kind of war, you are losing. And, in Afghanistan today, we are not winning. Let us not shy from the truth, but let us not be paralyzed by it either.

In a few minutes, I'll get back to work. But first...
So I only just learned today that -- like "The Star-Spangled Banner" -- "Hatikvah" is also a combination of a pre-existing poem and an unrelated old tune. Now, admittedly, the Star-Spangled Banner just directly copies both its sources, whereas Hatikvah modifies things a bit more. (The tune is a big difference if you compare directly to "La Mantovana"; less so if you compare to "Carul cu boi".)
Still, it struck me as an interesting coincidence. Is this a common thing among national anthems? I mean, I could easily believe that adapting them from preexisting poems is, but also using unrelated existing melodies? That would be a bit more surprising.
Well, if I had the time, I'd start going down Wikipedia's list of national anthems and counting. But I don't right now, so I'm just going to note this coincidence as one to follow up on later. Or let someone else count.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies lost 11-4 in SEC action on Saturday afternoon as the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats clinched the series win on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The Aggies succumbed to 17 hits by the Wildcats. Max Kuhn was 4-for-6 with four runs, two doubles, one home run and two RBI. AJ Reed went 4-for-6 with two runs, one double, home run and four RBI. Michael Thomas and Ka'ai Tom both logged two hits.
Texas A&M (23-17, 7-10 SEC) was led by Blake Allemand who went 3-for-4 with one walk, one run and one RBI. Nick Banks went 2-for-4 with one triple. Patrick McLendon entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and went 2-for-2 with a run.
The Maroon and White took the early lead in the bottom of the first inning. Allemand started the inning by slapping a single to rightfield. Logan Taylor drew a walk and Cole Lankford put down the sacrifice bunt to push both runners into scoring position. Logan Nottebrok hit a sharp grounder to short to knock in Allemand for the 1-0 lead. Nick Banks followed with a single to the pitcher to put runners on the corners, but the Aggies were unable to add any more runs.
Kentucky (26-13, 9-8 SEC) tied the game in the third with an RBI single by Ka'ai Tom and took the lead in the fifth with an RBI single by Reed.
The Wildcats started to add separation in the top of the sixth. JaVon Shelby belted a wall-banger down the leftfield line for a triple and scored when Aggie outfielder Jonathan Moroney mishandled the ball before throwing home to give Kentucky a 3-1 lead.
Kentucky started the seventh inning with a double by Kuhn and a home run by Reed to take a 5-1 advantage.
The Wildcats put up four runs in the eighth to build a 9-1 cushion. An RBI double by Reed was followed by RBI singles by Michael Thomas, Thomas Bernal and Storm Wilson.
A two-run home run by Kuhn in the ninth gave Kentucky an 11-1 edge.
A&M mounted a rally in the ninth, but it proved to be too little. Jace Statum and Ryne Birk started the frame with back-to-back pinch-hit singles and McLendon singled through the left side of the infield to load the bases. Mitchell knocked in a run with a grounder to second and Allemand and Taylor both plated runs with singles to cut the Wildcat lead to 11-4. A fly out by Lankford and strikeout by Nottebrok ended the game.
Daniel Mengden (2-6) was saddled with the loss allowing four, three earned, on nine hits and one walk while striking out five over 6.0 innings.
Dylan Dwyer (5-1) earned the win for Kentucky. He allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings.
Texas A&M will look to stave off the sweep on Sunday with a 12:05 pm contest on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
A&M Head Coach Rob Childress
On the bullpen…
"The bullpen really let us down today. Eight of the 11 runs we gave up were out of the bullpen. (Dylan) Dwyer did an outstanding job. He pitched well and kept his pitches down in the zone. The most disappointing thing was the bullpen today. Every move we made seemed to backfire on us."
On Daniel Mengden's performance…
"I thought he competed really well. He gave us a chance. The third inning could've gotten away from us when we loaded the bases with no outs, but we were able to get out of it. He kept battling."
On AJ Reed…
"He's a great player. There's very few of those two-way players in the country. He's fun to watch. If you make a mistake, he's going to make you pay. He's a competitor. He loves the game of baseball. I'd love to have him on my team."
On tomorrow's game…
"We've got to be able to bounce back tomorrow. They're a good offensive club and we've got to be able to match that and find a way to stop them."
Junior infielder Blake Allemand
On AJ Reed…
"He's a special talent. He's hitting every ball hard. He's hitting balls of the wall. He pitched his butt off last night. He's the real deal."
On bouncing back…
"We've got to play better and pick it up. We got a little flat towards the middle of the game. We've got to hold each other more accountable and come get a win tomorrow to salvage this weekend."

Jenna Laine Talks Goldson's Suspension and Saving Schiano's Job
Bucs/NFL Insider
Follow @ JennaLaineBucs
This morning I joined Eric Lopez on Sports Talk 1040 (Tampa Bay) and 1080 (Orlando) to recap the Bucs' 41-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
If you can tolerate a bit of a coughing spell (yes, I'm still under the weather), you'll hear us discuss a number of topics, including Dashon Goldson's suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Falcons wide receiver Roddy White.
We discussed Goldson's efforts to change his style of play, what the chances are that he can successfully contest this appeal and how the loss of Goldson affects the Bucs heading into this week's matchup against the Detroit Lions.
We talked about the emergence of running back Bobby Rainey, a relative unknown, what's been the key factor that's helped Tampa Bay absorb the loss of Doug Martin and then Mike James and why Rainey has actually put up better numbers than both.
We also talked about the status of head coach Greg Schiano and if the team's two-straight wins have helped him save his job.
You can listen here (and I do apologize for the coughing):

Showtime Premieres Bill Bellamy's CRAZY, SEXY, DIRTY Special Tonight, 6/2
Bill Bellamy gets CRAZY, SEXY, DIRTY in his new comedy special premiering tonight, June 2nd at 8pm on SHOWTIME. From the man who coined the phrase "Booty Call," Bellamy's uncut brand of comedy is edgy, uncensored and always unapologetic. Filmed live at the historic Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, California, Bellamy educates audiences on everything from "making it rain," the Beyoncé/Jay-Z chemistry phenomenon, Lil Wayne's popularity, woman-in-control seductions, the dissection of the "flip flop" culture; "White People News," and sex in a virtual world. Everyone's a target as Bellamy takes it to the comedy limit.
Bellamy's career straddles the worlds of feature film, television and comedy. He first entered the world of stand-up comedy while at Rutgers University, where he entered a male beauty pageant and won after he showcased a hidden talent - comedy. He made his national television debut as a featured guest on "Showtime at the Apollo," which led to a guest-starring appearance on "Def Comedy Jam." Soon after, he starred in his own SHOWTIME comedy special "Booty Call," which became one of the network's top-rated specials. Bellamy has appeared on several episodes of Tyler Perry's "Meet The Browns" on TBS and guest-starred last season on ABC's "Castle" and USA's "Royal Pains." He hosted four seasons of the TV One comedy competition show "Who's Got Jokes?," two seasons of NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and was the host of MTV Jams for five years. His acting credits include films such as "Any Given Sunday," "The Brothers," "How To Be a Player," and "Love Jones." Small screen credits include the FOX series "Fastlane," as well as numerous television appearances. He can be seen this fall starring in the sitcom "Mr. Box Office" and in the upcoming independent comedy "Sleeping Around."

I was wondering if anyone has had a problem similar to the one I had today.
I was an hour or so into a ride and got a flat. It was a small sharp pebble that lodged itself in the tire. So I did the regular thing and rolled to the nearest parking lot, set my bike upside down and took the wheel off to patch the tube. I got the tube off the wheel and looked for a hole or tear and couldn't find one so I tried to put some co2 in it to hear for some air rushing out. I found one and patched it w/ no problems. I plugged the cartridge on and the air went in and put some shape in the tube. I squeezed it to check and the tube cracked open! It felt hard and the crack was not there before.
Can this freeze the tube and make it fragile? Maybe a bad tube? Any suggestions are welcome and I thank you for any help in advance.
It was 29-31 degrees during the ride and my bike was stored in a garage along with the co2 cartridge at outside temp. If it matters it is a road bike 700x 23 tires and the cartridge was purchased maybe 4 months ago.
