Every year baseball is good for some really bizarre injuries, and this year's crop got started a little early, apparently. Back on Christmas, it appeared that left-handed starter Francisco Liriano had agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Pirates. That contract was said to be a two-year, $13 million deal. However, some unknown physical issues scuttled the deal, and eventually Liriano agreed to a contract with a baseline of one year and $1 million. Well, now we know what those physical issues are and what caused them. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Liriano broke his right humerus slamming his arm into a door on Christmas Day in an attempt to scare his children, who were in the next room. Liriano was scheduled to fly to the United States from the Dominican Republic the next day, but after a trip to the emergency room, where his broken arm was diagnosed, he had to call his agent to say he couldn't make the flight. "At first he thought I was joking," said Liriano. "It was sad and disappointing a little bit. Things happen. I wish I could take it back." Liriano is still wearing a soft cast on his arm, and says he's still experiencing some swelling in the area. Although his new contract does include incentives which could push it close to the same value as the original one, he'll be targeting a May return to the mound this year.

GAINESVILLE - Wesleyan got another shutout Friday night, beating Lakeview Academy 45-0 in its Region 8-A opener.The Wolves (5-0, 1-0) finished off the first half of their regular season by only allowing 53 yards of offense. They also only gave up four first downs, which all came on one drive for the Lions (1-3) in the first half. "It was a good solid defensive effort for us but it showed that we have some things to work on and I am happy for that because I want our kids to feel like there is always room for improvement," Wesleyan head coach Franklin Pridgen said. Wesleyan quarterback Conor Welton had an impressive game, throwing three touchdown passes in the first half before giving way in the second half to Andrew Frerking, who threw a TD pass of his own late in the game. Welton was 8 of 9 for 158 yards and also threw one pick. His TD passes were 42, 9 and 13 yards and were caught by Will Farrell, Kyle Karempelis, and Daniel Cardwell respectively. Karempelis also added 98 yards on 7 carries on the ground and had a 31-yard TD run. "I'm proud of the way our kids compete," Pridgen said. "We are far ahead of where we were a year ago and that's a credit to the extra football we got to play in the postseason last year. "I am excited about where we are but I'm not nearly as excited as I am going to be come November and December."

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

From: Milwaukee, WI
Region: Midwest
Topic: Pollinators, Butterfly Gardens, Seeds and Seeding, Herbs/Forbs, Wildflowers
Title: Getting milkweed seeds into seed mixes from Milwaukee WI
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My husband and I are concerned about the Monarch butterfly migration and have started an effort to get milkweed planted along some bike trails here in Wisconsin. This made me think of Ladybird Johnsons efforts to plant wildflowers along highways. I'm wondering if this effort continues and if milkweed is or could be incorporated into the mix. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
You and your husband are not alone in your concern. When we searched our nearly 9000 previously answered questions, we found 67 on Monarch butterflies. You might want to read a few of those that we chose as being relevant:
Milkweed growers using toxic spray on milkweed
All of these answers have other links in them, which you might enjoy reading.
Even the New York Times has chimed in on this, with an article on January 29, 2014 Migration of Monarch Butterflies Shrinks Again Under Inhospitable Conditions.
We appreciate your confidence that the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, home of Mr. Smarty Plants can alleviate this problem. In one way, we feel that we do - many people are known to simply read through our answers, as we have numbers showing that several million people visit our website a year, so hopefully your concern will spread to others through us. However, we have no control over the seeds that seed companies put in their wildflowers mixes, nor do we have the clout to remove from production the chemicals that are a big part of the problem. A paragraph from that article in the Times that we paticularly want to highlight:
"By some estimates, a billion or more monarchs once made the 2,500-mile-plus trip, breeding and dying along the route north so that their descendants were actually the ones that completed the migration."
When you realize that the butterflies that return to Mexico ever year are several generations down from the ones that left Mexico the previous Spring, you realize that this is a problem throughout Middle America. Individuals can try to have food waystations on the Monarch route and encourage others to do so.
Milkweeds are members of the species Asclepias. Anyone wishing to search on species of that genus native to their area of the country can go to our Native Plant Database, search on Asclepias and then narrow it down using the search bar on the right side of that page to find their state, and search for milkweeds native to their area. For instance, here are the milkweeds native to Wisconsin. You can follow each link to our webpage on that plant to find out the growing conditions, bloom times and soils required.
Asclepias amplexicaulis (Clasping milkweed)
Asclepias exaltata (Poke milkweed)
Asclepias hirtella (Green milkweed)
Asclepias incarnata (Swamp milkweed)
Asclepias ovalifolia (Oval-leaf milkweed)
Asclepias purpurascens (Purple milkweed)
Asclepias speciosa (Showy milkweed)
Asclepias sullivantii (Prairie milkweed)
Asclepias syriaca (Common milkweed)
Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed)
Asclepias verticillata (Whorled milkweed)
Asclepias viridiflora (Green milkweed)

That kind of talk doesn't belong in a broadcast. Clearly, El Duque was the one who should have been criticized. The proper play was to throw to 3rd or to close in and make the tag. Throwing the ball at him like that should be addressed by the club. Go Old School! Maybe one of the Mets players should get hit tonight.

alright, if you didn't know i am 38w1d and on 37w6d my midwife swept my membranes (which i honestly didn't really even feel even though i read it supposedly hurts like hell for most people). i was nearly 4 cm dilated and around 70% effaced with a super soft cervix that still needs to come forward a bit. about an hour and a half after coming home i had a BM and quite a bit of bloody show, mostly red. throughout the night wednesday and thursday i continued to have bloody show and lost what i assume is most of my mucous plug (gross, seriously gross!). i've had contractions (braxton hicks? i have no idea?) off and on since the sweep...actually the day of the sweep i laid in bed for literally 6 hours i was so sore. if i am up walking, or kicking a ball with my son, or cleaning, or doing anything, really, they are more intense. they can last up to 5 minutes long, actually, with me having to breathe through them for a couple minutes. i just don't know how likely it is that they are contractions or just bh contractions? they aren't regular enough to do anything about yet, the most intense ones are generally never closer than an hour apart. any advice? anyone gone through something similar? i know that membrane sweeps only induce labour if your cervix is ripe and your baby is ready to come out, and i'm honestly fine with her not being ready yet if that is the case, i am more curious than anything...and sore...

thanks, anna :)
i was just reading your bells palsy thread...ugh, frustrating!!!
mama to 9 year old h 3 year old z and brand spanking new baby m
Yeah, that's not labory sounding. Probably just your body prepping. And I think I remember that bloody show can happen just because of the membrane sweep but doesn't mean you'll go into labor. So, I'd just take one day at a time. I had painful and sometimes regular braxton hicks from a couple weeks before my second was born.
Happily married Christian SAHM of 2 boys, DD1 , and DD2 July 2013
thanks! i was 99% sure that it wasn't labour starting yet, but wanted to get some second opinions anyways!
i'll be taking it easy over the next couple days and will try to stop stressing out about all the stuff we have to get done...my poor DH...i had a HUGE meltdown last night about how we had to clean our room before the baby is born so he mostly cleaned it on his own while i cried and watched tv. okay that sounds a bit more dramatic than it REALLY was but he did a really good job and i am sooooooooo much less stressed out. i plan on getting our list finalized over the weekend anyways but now i'll be able to relax a bit on it and take it easier.
mama to 9 year old h 3 year old z and brand spanking new baby m
I hope you can rest and take it easy. It's hard and frustrating and I know for me every contraction has me thinking "is this it?" I know I will know when it's time as I've never had doubts before but it's still the thought that is there. Hugs mama!

i'm sorry other people are going through prodromal labour, but i'm so glad i'm not alone in this!!! hugs to you too :)
mama to 9 year old h 3 year old z and brand spanking new baby m
I had a very similar experience when I had my membranes swept with DS. I had them swept on a Monday and I ended up having him Friday of that same week. The entire week I was crampy, lots of bloody show and mucous, contractions that would come and go... but by the time I arrived at the hospital (still doubting whether it was really labor) I was over 8 cm dilated! Rest up and take it easy if you can and hopefully you'll be holding your little one soon!!!
oh well that's excting! i am definitely getting increasingly more uncomfortable every day, and i know my body must be doing something, you know?
thanks :)

There have been a number of reports coming out of France since Saturday on Yohan Cabaye possibly being on his way to Paris Saint-Germain, and Montpellier's Remy Cabella coming to Newcastle, and both deals will be completed in January – at least according to the reports.
Remy Cabella – Montpellier want to keep him until the summer
We've tracked down some of these reports – specifically in L'Equipe and lesport10.com, and this is what we've been able to find out.
Montpellier would like to keep their midfielder Remy Cabella until the summer, so he could help them escape relegation, although after their great 2-0 win at Sochaux on Saturday, where Remy played for 80 minutes, they are now 5th bottom of the French league , and Sochaux are second bottom now and 10 points behind Montpellier.
The reports suggest that if Montpellier get a huge bid from a club for Cabella this month, and the fee they want is said the be €17M which translates to around £14M, then they would sell this month.
And £14M is the fee Montpellier wanted for Cabella, when Manchester United were interested in the player last summer.
The news today is that Joe Kinnear will be trying to make a deal for Cabella, and is meeting with Montpelier officials.
As far as Cabaye is concerned, the reports in France are suggesting that Cabaye is just the classy and creative player that PSG want – and need – and they suggest PSG are readying a huge bid for the player – said to be something over £21M.
If that does happen,we think Mike Ashley will sell, although the owner may try to squeeze more money out of PSG – like he did when Liverpool came a calling for Andy Carroll, and initially bid £30M for the Gateshead born striker, and Ashley was able to get that fee up to £35M and paid out in cool cash by Liverpool.
Since Yohan is Mike Ashley's favorite player, we wouldn't be surprised if he tries to make another stellar deal – maybe for as much as £25M, if Cabaye is to leave the club
Given that we only paid just over £4M for Yohan, that's a huge profit in 30 months – but most fans are only interested in who would come in and replace Cabaye – since we want to see Newcastle become a great side again.
Yes – I'm like a broken record on that one – but some of us are running out of time to see Newcastle in the top four again.
And we don't think the two deals are related, since Cabella would not be a direct replacement for Cabaye – and Newcastle would need to bring in another player if Cabaye was to leave – but we'd be hard pressed to get anybody in other than Cabella in January.
Bottom line seems to be that Newcastle will get Cabella if they bid big money – around £14M – and Cabaye will go to PSG, but only if Newcastle receive a bid something north of £20M for the French International.
Comments welcome.
Note: There is a special MJK Sports event coming up like we'd like to publicize. On May 9th there will be an evening with Kevin Keegan at the Lancastrian suite in Gateshead. You can get the details about the event and buy your tickers here.

Issued September 4, 2009
Numerous media outlets have contacted 911truth.org, asking us to "make
sense" of Van Jones' "strange" behavior. We have issued the following
As the eighth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, what doesn't make sense to
us is that media outlets choose to impugn the character of the signatories
rather than carry out your responsibility as watchdogs to call attention to
the as yet unanswered questions raised in the 2004 statement. Five years later,
we challenge you to finally print those same unanswered questions and pursue
their answers with the same vigor with which you pursue the signatories.
We are overwhelmed by all the messages of support that we have received in the last 24 hours. We apologize that we can not possibly respond to each individual message, but please know we do read each one and are grateful for your support. For those of you asking what you can do to help, we encourage you to use the questions of this 2004 Statement as talking points for calls to your local media outlets and national call-in programs, and letters to the editors. Perhaps with your help, we can finally get answers to these lingering questions. Thank you.
For readers' convenience, following is the actual Truth Statement signed onto
by Van Jones in 2004, currently being discussed in the media.
The Statement
We Want Real Answers About 9/11

Dear friends who've just viewed the National Geographic Conspiracy Theory on 9/11,
Thank you for taking time to come here and find our contact information in order to share your thoughts. We ask that if you are interested enough in this issue to write us hate mail because you actually believe the nonsense National Geographic states we "all believe" that you take a few minutes to click on a couple of the links to your left, in the "New to 9/11″ section. What you will find is that essentially nothing that producer presented as the "beliefs" of "Truthers" actually reflects the real questions being asked by 9/11 truth advocates, as represented at this website.
This silly attempt to boil down the "Truthers" (what, people who are not actively pursuing answers to 9/11 questions are not in favor of truth? ridiculous…) to a few people who believe there was no plane at the Pentagon and the buildings were brought down by "thermite" is just that — silly. Since you've come this far, why not have a look at a few of the 40 Questions or the Family Report Card and ask yourself why, after nearly eight long years, family members and other Americans are still wanting for answers to these core questions … and ask yourselves why you're still not allowed to have those answers. And have a look at the articles on the front page at 911research.com or Journal of 9/11 Studies, and learn what the scientists are… Continue reading

The American Conservative
Those who are interested in issues like widespread corruption of our elected officials by foreigners have no doubt followed the ex-FBI traslator turned whistle blower Sibel Edmonds saga for the past few years. Sibel has finally testified in court under oath about some of the things that she learned while working for the bureau. The testimony was in a court in Ohio about two weeks ago. A full transcription and a useful summary appear at http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7374. In short, she names a number of Congressmen including former Speaker Dennis Hastert who took money from Turkish lobbyists. She also identifies senior State Department and Pentagon officials who apparently did the same, including our friends Marc Grossman, Paul Wolfowitz, and Doug Feith. Interestingly, she claims that Grossman blew the cover of Valerie Plame's company Brewster Jennings back in 2001, causing CIA to shut it down, so Robert Novak was not guilty of exposing the CIA cover mechanism. In another interview given a few weeks ago, Edmonds claims that CIA was working closely with al-Qaeda in the Balkans and continued to do so until 9/11.
As I have reported before, Edmonds is a credible witness who is ignored by the mainstream media and congress because her tales, if true, would be devastating to both political parties and to the Israel and Turkish lobbies. She is dismissed as a crackpot. She might in fact be blowing smoke, but now that she has testified under oath and in considerable detail making very specific accusations isn't it time for someone in the administration to review the FBI files and stand up to say whether her accounts are true or not?…Continue reading

" In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

A bipartisan pair of governors is opposing a new Defense Department proposal to
handle natural and terrorism-related disasters, contending that a murky chain
of command could lead to more problems than solutions.
Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas (R), chairman of the National Governors Association,
and Vice Chairman Gov. Joe Manchin (D) of West Virginia penned a letter opposing
the Pentagon proposal, which they said would hinder a state's effort to respond
to a disaster.
Current law gives governors control over National Guard forces in their own
states as well as any Guard units and Defense Department personnel imported
from other states.
The letter comes as the Pentagon proposes a legislative fix that would give
the secretary of Defense the authority to assist in response to domestic disasters
and, consequently, control over units stationed in an affected state.
"We are concerned that the legislative proposal you discuss in your letter
would invite confusion on critical command and control issues, complicate interagency
planning, establish stove-piped response efforts, and interfere with governors'
constitutional responsibilities to ensure the safety and security of their citizens,"
Douglas and Manchin wrote to Paul Stockton, assistant secretary of Defense for
Homeland Defense and America's Security Affairs.
"One of the key lessons learned from the response to the terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001, and to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 was the need for
clear chains of command to avoid duplication of effort and to ensure the most
effective use of… Continue reading

The 2001 anthrax attacks underscore the dangers posed to our health and safety
by the Bioweapons-Industrial Complex.
The killer(s) employed a military-grade version of the deadly pathogen, a four-mutation
blend of anthrax prepared at the government's test site at the remote Dugway
Proving Ground in Utah. Based on available evidence it's a near certainty that
the weapon came from stockpiles at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute
of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Ft. Detrick, Maryland.
Before the dust cleared prominent opposition politicians had been attacked,
five people were murdered, 10,000 more were exposed and representative government
ground to a halt as panic set in.
According to multiple media reports, federal investigators concluded that the
anthrax spores in the letters addressed to former Senate leader Tom Daschle
(D-SD) and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) could only have been
produced in a state-run lab. The weaponized version of the pathogen contained
as many as one trillion spores per gram, a concentration sufficient enough
to kill half the American population if widely distributed.
But rather than giving pause to Pentagon weaponeers, Big Pharma who profit handsomely
from vaccine production, the $100 billion agribusiness empire that drives research
and the politicians who do their bidding, decades-long U.S. biowar programs
have miraculously morphed overnight into a new growth industry: "biodefense."
What had once been Washington's dirty little secret has now blossomed into a
$50 billion cash-cow for academic and corporate grifters, according to the Washington,… Continue reading
Militarization of public health in the case of emergency is now official
by Michel Chossudovsky
July 31, 2009
Global Research
According to CNN, the Pentagon is "to establish regional teams of military
personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak
of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials."
"The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command's Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary.
The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military.
It has yet to be determined how many troops would be needed and whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces.
Civilian authorities would lead any relief efforts in the event of a major outbreak, the official said. The military, as they would for a natural disaster or other significant emergency situation, could provide support and fulfill any tasks that civilian authorities could not, such as air transport or testing of large numbers of viral samples from infected patients.
As a first step, Gates is being asked to sign a so-called "execution order" that would authorize the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute the proposed… Continue reading

The Journal of 9/11 Studies has published a new paper by Dr. Frank Legge, entitled
"What Hit the Pentagon?", available here: http://journalof911studies.com/volume/2009/WhatHitPentagonDrLegge.pdf
Here are some excerpts:
"The most logical inference from the Pentagon attack evidence is that the perpetrators of 9/11 knew that there would be many members of the public who would become suspicious for one reason or another. The perpetrators realized that a powerful technique for weakening the arguments of the skeptics would be to have them arguing against one another."
"There are two essential points to note:
1. Nothing should have hit the Pentagon. This implies a stand down order existed, as appears to be confirmed by Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission.
2. The authorities could easily show us what hit the Pentagon but they do not."

Government sources immediately began blaming North Korea for the recent cyberterror attacks on South Korea and the U.S., despite having no evidence to back up those claims. Now, an examination of the evidence by independent computer experts show that the attack seems to have been coordinated from the UK. The hysterical media coverage in the attack's wake, however, echoing the government line that it was likely the work of North Korea, served to cement in the minds of many that this was an act of cyberwarfare.
The idea that this surprisingly unsophisticated attack could have come from a well-organized, hostile state or terrorist group comes as a blessing in disguise to those groups, agencies and advisors who have been calling for greater and greater federal snooping powers in the name of stopping a "cyber 9/11″ from happening.
The "cyber 9/11″ meme stretches back almost to 9/11 itself. Back in 2003, Mike McConnell, the ex-director of the National Security Agency (NSA), was fearmongering over the possibility of a cyber attack "equivalent to the attack on the World Trade Center" if a new institution were not created to oversee cyber security. Since then, report after report has continued to use the horror of 9/11 as a way of raising public hysteria over "cyber terrorism," a subject more often associated with juvenile hackers and lone misfits than radical terrorist organizations.
The real reason behind the invocation of 9/11 in the context of "cyber terror"… Continue reading

Complete 911 Timeline
The CIA assassination programme that was recently in the media was actually first partially revealed by the Washington Post in 2005, when details enabling his originator to be identified were published. The programme made news in the last few days as CIA Director Leon Panetta admitted that the agency withheld information about it from Congress, although the CIA never actually used it to assassinate anybody. Nevertheless, the programme's "duties" seem to have been taken over by something journalist Seymour Hersh called an "executive assassination wing" that was run out of the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney, and this grouping did go on missions and kill people.
The programme was first mentioned in Dana Priest's groundbreaking article that highlighted the existence of the CIA's network of black sites, CIA Holds Terror Subjects in Secret Prisons, which was published in November 2005. Priest wrote of the programme:
The CTC's chief of operations argued for creating hit teams of case officers and CIA paramilitaries that would covertly infiltrate countries in the Middle East, Africa and even Europe to assassinate people on the list, one by one.
But many CIA officers believed that the al-Qaeda leaders would be worth keeping alive to interrogate about their network and other plots. Some officers worried that the CIA would not be very adept at assassination.
"We'd probably shoot ourselves," another former senior CIA official said.
This section of the article was ignored… Continue reading

Official government documents reveal new side of defense secretary's legacy
Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1967, took many secrets with him when he died Monday at 93. But probably no secret was more sensitive politically than the one that would have changed fundamentally the public perception of his role in Vietnam policy had it been become widely known.
The secret was his deliberate deceit of President Lyndon B. Johnson on Aug. 4, 1964 regarding the alleged attack on US warships in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Documents which have been available for decades in the LBJ Library show clearly that McNamara failed to inform Johnson that the U.S. naval task group commander in the Tonkin Gulf, Captain John J. Herrick, had changed his mind about the alleged North Vietnamese torpedo attack on U.S. warships he had reported earlier that day.
By early afternoon Washington time, Herrick had reported to the Commander in Chief Pacific in Honolulu that "freak weather effects" on the ship's radar had made such an attack questionable. In fact, Herrick was now saying, in a message sent at 1:27 pm Washington time, that no North Vietnamese patrol boats had actually been sighted. Herrick now proposed a "complete evaluation before any further action taken."
These documents were reviewed by this reporter in researching my book, Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam.
McNamara later testified that he had read the message… Continue reading

The evidence was crucial because it undermined the official explanation that Hani Hanjour crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at high speed after executing an extremely difficult top gun maneuver. But to understand how all of this played out, let us review the case in bite-size pieces…
In August 2004 when the 9/11 Commission completed its official investigation of the September 11, 2001 attack, the commission transfered custody of its voluminous records to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).[1] There, the records remained under lock and key for four and a half years, until last January when NARA released a fraction of the total for public viewing. Each day, more of the released files are scanned and posted on the Internet, making them readily accessible. Although most of the newly-released documents are of little interest, the files I will discuss in this article contain important new information.
As we know, the 9/11 Commission did not begin its work until 2003——more than a year after the fact. By this time a number of journalists had already done independent research and published articles about various facets of 9/11. Some of this work was of excellent quality. T he Washington Post, for example, interviewed aviation experts who stated that the plane allegedly piloted by Hani Hanjour [AA Flight 77] had been flown "with extraordinary skill, making it highly… Continue reading
"War on Terror" advocates want civilians to die to justify "War on Terror"
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
6 July, 2009
CIA analyst Michael Scheuer's recent call for bin Laden to kill more Americans would be shocking if we hadn't already heard it dozens of times before from other "War on Terror" advocates. "It's an absurd situation," Scheuer told FOX News personality Glenn Beck on his program last week. "Only Osama can execute an attack that will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary."
The comments have provoked much shock and outrage among pundits and websites like Jon Stewart and NewsHounds who may have considered him to be on their side. After all, he seemed to be a vociferous and effective critic of the neocons, having authored books like Imperial Hubris and having supported Ron Paul during the 2008 Presidential debates by asserting that 9/11 was merely blowback for American interventionism in the Middle East. With his latest comments, Scheuer is now relegated to the ignoble company of neocon shills like Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who dreamed of another terrorist attack back in 2007 to rally people around the flag (and, presumably, George W. Bush) once again; Donald Rumsfeld, who complained in 2006 that the Bush regime was a victim of its own success in the "War on Terror" and that another terrorist attack was needed to remind people that the war was still necessary; and… Continue reading
Court won't hear Sept. 11 claims vs. Saudi Arabia
June 29, 2009
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has refused to allow victims of the Sept.
11 attacks to pursue lawsuits against Saudi Arabia and four of its princes over
charitable donations that were allegedly funneled to al-Qaida.
The court, in an order Monday, is leaving in place the ruling of a federal
appeals court that the country and the princes are protected by sovereign immunity,
which generally means that foreign countries can't be sued in American courts.
The Obama administration had angered some victims and families by urging the
justices to pass up the case.
In their appeal, the more than 6,000 plaintiffs said the government's court
brief filed in early June was an "apparent effort to appease a sometime
ally" just before President Barack Obama's visit to Saudi Arabia.
At issue were obstacles in American law to suing foreign governments and their
officials as well as the extent to which people can be held financially responsible
for acts of terrorism committed by others.
The appeal was filed by relatives of victims killed in the attacks and thousands
of people who were injured, as well as businesses and governments that sustained
property damage and other losses.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York previously upheld a federal
judge's ruling throwing out the lawsuits. The appeals court said the defendants
were protected by sovereign immunity and the plaintiffs would need to prove
that the princes engaged in intentional actions aimed at U.S.…

In his remarkable speech at Cairo University on June 4, President Obama promised "a new beginning." In the words of the Israeli commentator Uri Avnery, the speech offered "the map of a new world, a different world, whose values and laws he spelled out in simple and clear language — a mixture of idealism and practical politics, vision and pragmatism."1
Much of what Obama had to say was new, and warmed the hearts of observers like myself, who had become increasingly concerned about the new president's fidelity to the financial and military policies of the previous Bush-Cheney administration. But while Obama broke new ground on Israel-Palestine issues, he glossed over troubling issues pertaining to the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also glossed over one of the fundamental issues alienating the Muslim world: America's relentless efforts to preserve its threatened financial status by moves to dominate the region's oil resources. Here his careful ambiguity was ominously reminiscent of the Bush era.
The speech reaffirmed a complete withdrawal of US forces from Iraq by 2012, as the U.S. committed itself to do in a signed agreement last December. In addition Obama asserted that "we do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan… We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and now Pakistan."
But Obama's remarks did not address the statement on May… Continue reading

Friday Afternoon: Enterprise & Pine Valley
My buddy Ken works for MotoZoo in St. George. He has the day off on Friday so we try to escape the heat in St. George by riding to Enterprise and Pine Valley. Ken rarely takes a weekday off, and Saturdays are always busy at MotoZoo.
Chasing Ken on his V-Strom up the small paved road to Enterprise Reservoir. Been practicing my on the move pics recently.
My stock '09 Versys and Ken's fully farkled '12 V-Strom at Upper Enterprise Reservoir. Ken keeps wanting to trade me even up on bikes, but I'm not budging. Sticking with the Versys; not taking any chances on that dodgy V-Strom engine.
Short ride back to Enterprise for lunch at Marv's.
Classic hamburgers. No salads here; don't even think they have vegetables on the menu.
Ken's no inmate, but he understands the salute! Good guy, go buy a bike from this man. MotoZoo. He's always checking his messages. Making sure his schedule is clear for all the Yamaha, CanAm, Suzuki . . . events for riding all the new bikes and boats. Rough part of his job . . . keeping track of all the work playtime in Florida and Mexico. We should all feel sorry for Ken.
On dirt in the "suburbs" of Pine Valley. Brave man, shorts on the bike. Even flying insects have an unpleasant ping on shins at 80+ mph.
Pine Valley Chapel. At least it is only 90 degrees. Probably going to be 110 in St. George later this afternoon.
Tourist pic. The paved road up to Pine Valley is very moto friendly. Not a long ride, but a few nice curves.
Local history.
Here's Ken keeping track of his Florida and Mexico work commitments prior to hopping on the bikes for the hot blast on the descent back into St. George.
Later that afternoon I pick up my son at his "Camp Invention." Son is on left with 3 friends. Their job was to build a catapult from household recycle items. Objective was to launch a rubber duck across the school gym. Very accurate contraption they came up with. Look at those smiles. The catapult now lives in our family room. My wife will be very pleased when she gets back into town in a few days. Surprise, Mommy. The boys have redecorated with a homemade rubber duck launcher. Every family should have one.
Thanks for checkin' in inmates & lurkers. Ride often, ride safe!

Crocus sieberi (Sieber's crocus)
Crocus sieberi subsp. atticus in the Rock Garden at Kew
Species information
Crocus sieberi J.Gay
Sieber's crocus, Cretan crocus, snow crocus
Not evaluated according to IUCN Red List criteria.
Rocky slopes and in grass; at altitudes of 1,500 to 2,700 m.
None known.
About this species
The genus (a group of related species) Crocus contains around 80 autumn- or early spring-flowering species.
The French botanist Jacques Gay described Crocus sieberi in 1831, from plants growing on the island of Crete. It is named after Franz Sieber, the Czech naturalist who collected it. Gay was unaware of the mainland form of this species, but C. sieberi is now known to occur in various forms throughout certain parts of southeast Europe.
Crocus sibiricus, Crocus sibthorpianus, Crocus atticus, Crocus nivalis, Crocus sublimis
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Occurs throughout Greece and into southern Albania, Macedonia and southern Bulgaria, and possibly western Turkey.
Crocus sieberi grows from a corm (short underground swollen stem) and produces long, narrow leaves, usually with a pale stripe down their centre. The leaves can develop at or after flowering and surround the flowers, which are held above the ground by the tube of the perianth (sepals and petals).
The corm is surrounded by a tunic (coat) made up of the expanded bases of the true leaves and the papery sheathing leaves, called cataphylls, which surround the aerial shoot. The characteristics of the corm tunic are important for species identification.
In the early 1990s, Melvyn Jope found, in the eastern Peloponnese, a population of C. sieberi, some members of which were autumn-flowering. This is very unusual but nonetheless in line with several other typically spring-flowering plants of the eastern Mediterranean that have localised, autumn-blooming colonies.
The Kew botanist and former Editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Brian Mathew, recognises four subspecies of C. sieberi. The Cretan plant is C. sieberi subsp. sieberi. It flowers as the snow melts and can be seen completely covering grazed areas in April. The flowers can reach up to 8 cm tall and are white with a yellow throat (where the petal tube widens) and purple staining on the outside of the outer perianth segments. This purple staining can vary from a narrow stripe down the centre of the segment, to an almost complete covering. The branched styles (female parts) are deep orange or yellow.
Crocus sieberi subsp. atticus comes from the Attica region of Greece. It has a more coarsely netted corm tunic than the others, and lilac-blue or violet flowers with a yellow throat.
Crocus sieberi subsp. sublimis occurs from the Peloponnese to southern Albania, Macedonia and southern Bulgaria. It has pale lilac flowers with a pale yellow throat. Some forms with a deeper flower colour and a zone of white between the two colours have been called C. sieberi subsp. sublimis forma tricolor.
Lastly, subsp. nivalis has lilac-blue flowers with a yellow throat, and occurs in the southern Peloponnese.
Crocus sieberi is cultivated as an ornamental.
Sieber's crocus is also used for food. The corms are eaten raw in Greece by mountain shepherds. The flavour is said to resemble hazelnuts. In Turkey, the leaves are gathered in the wild and eaten as greens.
Crocus sieberi makes a fine plant for a sunny position in a rock garden, flowering in late winter or early spring. The exception is Crocus sieberi subsp. sieberi, which needs to be kept drier than the other subspecies in summer and is best grown in a cold frame.
Although introduced in the nineteenth century, subsp. sieberi is still quite rare in cultivation. By the 1940s, C. sieberi was widely grown in England but the plants usually offered in the trade had light mauve flowers. These must have been one of the other subspecies, all of which have flowers in various shades of lilac or violet.
This species at Kew
Crocus sieberi can be seen in the in the Davies Alpine House and Rock Garden at Kew, and at Wakehurst.
Spirit-preserved, as well as pressed and dried specimens of Crocus sieberi are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers, by appointment. The details, including images, of these can be seen online in the Herbarium Catalogue.

My Reading Tea Leaves Experience
I was at my kitchen table at home. The weather was nice with a light breeze and a thought came into my head about tea leaf reading, so I made a cup of tea with leaves, not a bag, and then waited and drank it and followed the instructions and uploaded the picture.
What Was Your Question?
My question was: Will my husband's injury settlement be finished soon." My husband was seriously injured 4 years ago now and we are waiting for the result and I'm hoping for some insight. Please look and if you can see anything.
Lessons Learned
- Not very good at that. I often have wondered if what comes into my head is just me wanting it or actually spirit guides helping me.

Spirometry pre and post beta-agonist is a quick, painless test in which a device called a spirometer is used to measure how much air a person's lungs can hold (air volume) and the speed (air flow rate) of inhalation and exhalation during breathing, both before and after receiving a medication (beta-agonist).
This test is used in kids older than 5 years. The spirometer has two pieces: a mouthpiece and a tube that connects to a machine that displays and records the results.
Beta-agonists are medications that affect the muscles around the airways in the lungs. In people with asthma, these muscles tighten when the airways become irritated, which can result in breathing difficulties and wheezing. Beta-agonists help these muscles relax, allowing the air passages to widen, which makes breathing easier.
Most beta-agonists are given by inhalation. Spirometry pre and post beta-agonist lets health care professionals test the effectiveness of these medications for a particular child and gauge how well his or her lungs are working with and without the medication.
Before the test, your child should avoid cold medicines, caffeine, carbonated beverages, and exposure to tobacco smoke. Your child also should not eat a big meal before the test.
If your child is taking any medications, the doctor might have you stop them for a certain amount of time before the test. The doctor also may ask you to have your child practice for the test, perhaps by pretending to blow out birthday candles or blowing air at a pinwheel.
On the day of the test, make sure your child doesn't wear tight clothing that could interfere with the ability to breathe in and out deeply.
Your child will be asked to follow instructions given during the test. Cooperation is essential for accurate results.
Depending on the doctor's recommendations, your child might have to wear soft nose clips during the procedure to prevent air from escaping, and may be asked to stand during the test. If seated during the test, your child should sit up straight and not lean forward because this can affect breathing.
Typically, your child will be asked to take a very deep breath, place the device in his or her mouth with the lips sealed securely around the mouthpiece, and then exhale as fast and hard as possible for as long as possible. Your child will be asked to perform this test before and after inhaling a medication. The test may be repeated several times to confirm the accuracy of the results.
Spirometry usually takes 5-30 minutes, depending on the number of times the test must be done.
Your child might be asked to perform the test more than once to ensure accurate results. The test should be completely painless.
The results are recorded while the test is being done, and some machines are programmed to review results and suggest interpretations. However, your doctor also will review the results and explain to you what they mean.
The results are expressed as percentages and are generally considered abnormal if they're less than 80% of the normal value based on your child's age, gender, height, and weight.
Spirometry is considered a safe procedure with little risk. Because the test requires kids to breathe quickly and deeply, some may experience temporary shortness of breath or lightheadedness.
You can help prepare your child for spirometry pre and post beta-agonist by explaining the importance of following the instructions of the person administering the test.
If you have questions or concerns about spirometry pre and post beta-agonist, speak with your doctor or the person administering the test.

I always wake up with a smile on my face.
I would say that one of my talents is being able to answer difficult questions quickly and at times, creatively. Recently, I was asked "when a boy and a girl get married, does the boy have to know the girl's name first?" I also had to answer the question of "where do babies come from", and "how are tables made?". These were all the musings of my students, who have also requested that I dye my hair pink (and sparkly), meet Justin Bieber, and have octuplets. I can safely say that none of those things will be happening! Instead, I'm using my time to research grad school programs in Special Education or Occupational Therapy. So, what else do I like to do? I love going to Nats games. I'm an Indians fan at heart, but since we're nowhere near Cleveland, and I love baseball, I try to get to Nats games whenever I can. I'm also a HUGE roller coaster fan. I would love to get to every theme park in the U.S., and I have a season pass to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I also love movies. I own close to 100 DVDs, and recently discovered that over time, I have somehow become the owner of four copies of The Hangover, although I would say that I like dramas best. Of course, the almost cliche statement of "I love to travel" (who doesn't) would have to come next. I lived in Barbados for a year growing up, and I have been to China and Israel. I have been to half of the 50 states, and want to see all of them. I definitely would like to go to Alaska sometime soon. So, who am I looking for? I definitely do best with guys who have laid back personalities. I have been told I am a kind person, and I want to date someone who could also describe themselves that way. Intelligence and hard work are very attractive qualities. Someone whom I can't stop laughing with, a gentleman, and partner in crime. Bonus points if you're from the Midwest or have a Southern accent.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish
I had a beagle growing up. Her name was Sally. Lots of funny stories - just ask. I would love to get another dog, but haven't decided what kind I want. Any suggestions??
Middle of the Road
I lived in Barbados for a year and LOVED it... I've also been to Israel and China (big fan of both). I generally enjoy traveling.... LA, NYC, Boston, etc. In the DC area, I really like Local 16, Mandu, and Galaxy Hut.
The College of Wooster, Wooster, OH
traveling, movies, music, amusement parks, sports, the beach, dogs, conversation, Seinfeld, concerts, exploring
I love watching movies, going to sports games, amusement parks, ROLLER COASTERS!! and basically anything that gets me out of the house (although i don't mind the occasional weekend spent lounging around).
I'm currently reading "Game Change", which is about the 2008 Presidential Campaign/nominees. I've been told I should read the "Twilight" series, but I'm trying to hold out on that for as long as possible.

My honey has 2 little girls from his first marriage and he wanted a boy really bad. I wanted a boy because I spent a good part of my young life hating the fact that I was a girl because girls have a hard time making it in politics and in the ranching/cowboy world. I was always a tom boy.
My honey does not want any more kids after this one. Child support for his two and raising this one is about all our finances can handle. He came from a family of 8 kids and doesn't want them to grow up the way he did where he had to give up his dreams because his family didn't have the money.
I understand where he is coming from on the financial part but it is disappointing because this will be the only child I will ever have and I wanted a bigger family. I wouldnt be soooo hurt if we actually ever got to see his 2 girls but we don't. We never see them. He's lucky to see them once a year. Though he keeps in touch over the phone.
Now we know we are having a girl and I'm kinda hurt and disappointed. I know God has his reasons. I know I should just be ecstatic that she is perfectly healthy. I know I should count my blessings. I GET IT! HOWEVER I am having a hard time handling the news because all I see is I won't be taking my son to football games, wearing his jersey number and cheering him on. I won't be taking him to rodeos for mutton busting and later on bronc ridding. I won't be teaching a little boy all the things I know and I love. My honey wants our little girl to be a glitter drenched princess. Not a rough around the edges tom boy like me. I don't think I'd be so hurt if I thought we'd have more kids. Glitter, Barbie and ballet are all things I really hated most of my life and i feel like now I have absolutely nothing to offer my child. I don't feel bonded to her anymore. I don't get excited when she kicks. I don't care to look at girl stuff or think of names. I feel separated from her because I genuinely feel I have nothing to teach her or offer her.
I KNOW this is stupid and ridiculous and that I am a horrible mother. I get it. I don't need the butt chewing. I just wonder if any other mother has been disappointed and hurt like this and how did you handle it? Did things change when they were born?
I should add my honey isn't the least bit upset. Or if he is he's amazing at hiding it.
I really don't need any harsh words I beat myself up over it every single day. I just need some support.

Is cash on the way out? In my own daily routines, I find myself using coins and notes less and less, to the point when I am often stuck for a pound coin to use the lockers at the swimming pool, or I audibly 'tut' when shopkeepers tell me there's a charge for using my card. I just don't carry cash very often. In fact, I don't even physically use my debit card very often. I've got so used to using my phone or computer to buy stuff that I've learnt my 16-digit card number off by heart – a 'skill' which is either impressive or just a bit worrying.
Maybe this is a sign that I'm moving up the social hierarchy. After all, using less cash is associated with higher socio-economic status according to the Payment Council, so perhaps I'm moving up the foodchain. Or, as I've often feared, I'm not that special at all. This is a change which is affecting most people as we move into a world of contactless payments and methods of moving money around which might shake up those much-beloved institutions: The Banks.

Web Letter
This review made my week, and made me glad that just the day before I renewed my Nation Associates membership. The Nation's reviews are always great, but this one was beyond the usual pale. It was a good review of conservative and neo-con thought, put it in an original context that I'd never thought about, and was so well written that it made me laugh out loud (I was reading it on an inter-urban bus!). I don't have the kind of independently broad background it would take to really critique the review (I somehow failed to learn much in college or law school), so I have to depend on The Nation and its revieers to enlighten me. The Nation never lets me down, and this one did more: it lifted me up, and that's a hard thing to do these days.

Frank M. Snowden., Jr.
The question of who in the ancient world were and who were not African blacks in the modern sense of blacks or Negroes has given rise to considerable debate. What does the ancient written and iconographical evidence reveal about the physical characteristics of the Egyptians and of their southern neighbors? What physical types in ancient iconographic and written documents most closely resemble Africans and peoples of African descent in the modern world who have been designated in anthropological, historical, and common usage as Negroes or blacks? A summary of the highlights of the ancient evidence pertaining to these questions is an appropriate introduction to this discussion of the "blacks" of Martin Bernal's Black Athena (volume 1) and of the Afrocentrists.
Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans were all far from unclear on the question of the color and other physical characteristics of Egypt's southern neighbors -- the Kushites of Egyptian documents, and the Ethiopians and Nubians of classical texts. Our earliest evidence comes from Egyptian craftsmen, who in countless paintings, sculptures, mosaics, and other pieces from their workshops realistically portrayed the physical features of the southerners. And on this point David O'Connor ( 1971, 2) has observed: "Thousands of sculpted and painted representations from Egypt as well as hundreds of well preserved bodies from its cemeteries show that the typical physical type was neither Negroid nor Negro." Particularly valuable, however, is the often overlooked
