"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Entertainment News
If Arnold Schwarzenegger were America's camp counselor, our kids would do 200 knee bends before breakfast. The 53-year-old former Mr. Universe would also blow the whistle on the growing trend of single parenthood — a "tremendous danger," he says. Schwarzenegger is now bringing his tough love to the inner city, where he hopes to boost kids' self-esteem through the Inner City Games Foundation, a national network of after-school programs. While he remains the odd man out in liberal Hollywood, the rest of the nation may prove more receptive to the Last Action Hero's message, which sounds, well, compassionately conservative. The welcome mat is out for him at the Bush White House, and he admits to flirting with a run for governor of California.
If the star is considering a leap into politics, he'll need to prepare. Reporters will surely ask, for instance, what exactly happened in the U.K. during his recent publicity tour for "The Sixth Day." Schwarzenegger allegedly groped three female journalists (his publicist denies this), earning him the nicknames "Scharwzenookie" and "Kindergarten Cop-a-Feel" from the Fleet Street press and a "Groper of the Year" award from the London Sun. Rumors are also circulating about the actor's health. In 1997, he underwent elective heart surgery to replace a faulty valve, and the studios reacted as if he had the plague. "I really could feel people kind of pulling back," he told the Los Angeles Times. "You know, they don't return your phone calls the same way they used to."
In our recent conversation, the movie star was sharp and animated as he discussed Hollywood violence, the crisis of the family, Bush-era politics and life with a Kennedy liberal, his wife Maria Shriver, with whom he has four children.
What do you see as the most pressing problem in the inner city today?
The parenting problem. A lot of minorities have such a problem with the single-parent situation. The parents are the single most important influence on a child, followed by education and the peer group. The number of single parents in the U.S. has quadrupled since the '60s, and there has also been an increase in violence and school shootings. All that stuff has increased largely because of a lack of parenting, and many households only have one biological parent — so many of them are fatherless. It really creates a big problem.
You see single parents all the time in Hollywood, like Jodie Foster, Camryn Manheim and now Calista Flockhart. Do you think it's sending a bad message?
I would say you have a better chance if your mother happens to be Jodie Foster or any of those women who can afford a swim teacher or a basketball coach, because there is a mentor right there. But in the inner city, parents do not have the money to hire a coach or join the soccer club. They have no one to drive the kids, no chauffeur or nanny. I think single parenting absolutely has an effect on kids down the line.
I see it firsthand in my family. If I am away on a film for three weeks, even though I come home every weekend, you can see the kids getting out of control. One person cannot create the discipline and the guidance and helping with homework. When I am at home, Maria and I drive the kids to school together; we pick them up together; we take them to dancing, soccer, horseback riding lessons. It takes a lot of effort. If you are not on top of the situation, the kids lose confidence in you.
I think the situation with single parenting [in minority groups] is disastrous. The statistic is that 64 percent of blacks are with one parent, while with whites, it's like 26 percent. With Hispanics, it's maybe 35 percent. It's gone up so much since the '60s. In the '60s, among minorities, only about 20 percent had single parents.
Why do you think that is?
There are two things at work here. Since the '60s, many more women have gone to work outside of the home. The husband is at work, the mother is at work. Now the kids are always alone. As a country, we have to supplement where there is a vacuum. Youth today just don't have guidance. If they have after-school programs and mentors, they will be fine.
Do you think a European sense of family is missing from American culture?
To me, family has always been the basic foundation of everything. When I was growing up, both of my parents were home every night and played with us, and we ate together every night. It was normal to have breakfast, lunch and dinner together. Of course, I couldn't wait to grow up and get away from my parents. [Laughs] But looking back, it enabled me to do the things I did, because my parents gave me this security and confidence, and they drilled into me the importance of education: You have to train your mind and your body. When I got up in the morning, I had to do 200 knee bends!
Do you make your kids do that?
Some of that, but of course we can't do it in the same way. In youth, I was smacked around. It was totally normal, but today it's considered child abuse. I think today the biggest child abuse is to neglect kids.
Any woman who thinks, "My biological clock is ticking and I want a baby, and it doesn't matter if I have a husband or not" — well, without running anyone down, that is a mistake.
The divorce rate is now about 50 percent. Do you think couples should stay together for the sake of their children?
Let's say that out of this 50 percent who are getting divorced, half of them shouldn't be together. But the other half, maybe their marriage falls apart because they can't agree on something. There are many reasons to break up, but is there really enough cause to have your children be alone with just one parent?
What do you think about gay couples raising children?
To me that is not a huge problem like single parenting. Two people are sharing responsibility, not one. Am I an expert in that subject? No. To me this is not a danger. Single parenting is a danger and that's what we have to avoid.
Why did you get involved with the Inner City Games Foundation?
I wanted to come up with an alternative to what was going on in the street — the violence, the gangs, the teenage pregnancy, the guns, the drug abuse. When Danny Fernandez [head of Inner City Games] called me to be an honorary chairman, I really fell in love with it. It gave us a chance to go out and start programs to get kids away from those negative things and get them to do sports — and things like after-school programs, educational programs, computer programs and entrepreneurial programs.
In the beginning I was naive about the problems those kids were having. As an outsider you can say, "Oh, these minorities, look at the trouble they're creating." When I got into it, I found out how many of the kids really want to be better and be good students. But they don't have the inspiration, or the opportunity. In school, the teachers don't show up, there are no flushing toilets, books are not updated. They don't have all the things that other schools have. They always get cut short. They don't have anyone saying, "You're great. You're doing well. You're a winner."
I heard that you made a decision to make less violent films. What prompted that?
I never really shifted my focus to do less violent movies. Since I've had children I've become much more aware that we need entertainment that the whole family can see. That's when I started doing movies like "Twins" and "Kindergarten Cop." My most recent film, "The Sixth Day," is about the dangers of cloning. I don't need to show heads a-rollin'. But when I do "True Lies 2″ or "Terminator 3," it will be R-rated and I will be very clear that this is not a movie for youngsters. I will do everything in my power not to have the studios market the film to underage kids.
Do you think the responsibility lies more with Hollywood or with parents?
It goes back to the parents. They have to make sure their kids are watching the right programs. This is where people go wrong when they say Hollywood is making too many violent films. That's not the case. The problem is that the parents aren't there to make sure kids aren't seeing the wrong movies. You can't start censoring movies or books; you have to be able to show anything or say anything on-screen.
Is it true you're thinking of running for governor of California?
I have thought about it many times, but I have no specific plans. I've been invited to run for Congress, Senate and the governorship. The more I've been involved in issues — like schools, vouchers and the Special Olympics — the more I realize there are so many things out there. I've found this to be more rewarding than having a successful movie come out. Maybe in the past 20 years I've grown into a different person — not as "me, me, me" as you are when you're building a career. Maybe my concerns are going in another direction, one in which I can do more for other people.
Do you think you can have a greater impact as a politician or as a citizen activist?
Both. You don't have to run for office to make a difference. Look at my mother-in-law [Eunice Shriver]. She's done the most extraordinary job of anybody I can think of on a worldwide level. I was in China last year for the Special Olympics, and it's extraordinary to think that in 1988 the Chinese government was saying these [mentally handicapped] people should be eliminated and, 12 years later, they're being included in society and treated equally. This is due to just one person pounding away since 1968 on the treatment of retarded children. Here is one person who never ran for office but has had this kind of impact on 104 countries around the world. She has used her status as a Kennedy to carve out a niche and become an unbelievable, relentless force.
Which politicians do you admire?
Gov. [George] Pataki [of New York], Sen. [Orrin] Hatch [of Utah]. George W. Bush is extraordinary. He was a different type of human being once — a rowdy guy who had his problems and stuff — and he got his act together. I don't know how much he thought about running the country originally. He was kind of thrown into it because there were no young people from the Republican Party. Bush was the new guy, the new face, and I think he was kind of surprised to see himself the top guy in the polls. To me, it's extraordinary and admirable that he got his act together, studied the issues, came up with a philosophy of compassionate conservatism and really went with it full speed ahead.
I think it would have been better if he had really won, instead of through the courts. But I admire him, and his father as well. I admire the other political side too. I have learned so much from Maria's father [Sargent Shriver, a Democrat], who's the most selfless person you can imagine. I have great discussions with him all the time about the extraordinary social programs that he's started, like the Peace Corps and Head Start. So you can have great leaders in both parties.
How do you handle politics at home, since you're a Republican and your wife is a Democrat — and not just any Democrat, but a Kennedy Democrat?
It's very easy. Maria and I have no arguments whatsoever. I totally understand and love her opinions and the way she feels about things. The key thing is that we all have to think, as Bush said, that it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican — you both want to improve the country. Maria and Bonnie [the couple's assistant] used to plaster my car with Democratic Party stickers. Those girls! But I always want to hear what the other side has to say, so that's why I surround myself with women and minorities and Democrats.
How would you describe your own politics?
I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I believe that every good idea that was ever done in the world came from a grass-roots organization, or from one person. They did something and it mushroomed and grew, and eventually the government heard about it and it was enacted. It has to start on a level where the cities take care of themselves; it can't start at the federal government and trickle down.
I'm like Jesse Ventura, but I can identify with both major parties. I think both have interesting ideas, so why not work with both?
What kind of politician would you be if you ran?
I would be the kind of person I am with everything else. I would go all-out, 100 percent, total conviction. I would be very focused and I would keep my promises. Other than that, I can't go into details because I'm not in that position. But that's how I approach everything, whether it's showbiz or sports. I always go all-out and take it all the way. I'm always willing to take risks. This has been my philosophy from the beginning: No guts, no glory.
What is it like to be a conservative in overwhelmingly liberal Hollywood?
I have never had a problem in Hollywood with anybody because there is something to be said for the liberal mind, the open mind. I am good friends with Rob Reiner, who is as liberal as they come. In Hollywood, people are very socially conscious and celebs get involved with projects, whether it's AIDS or the environment or animals. There are more causes than you can think of, and to me that is very inspirational. I also have a great sense of humor about this stuff, so I don't take it that seriously if we have differences of opinion.
What do you teach your children, politically?
They get a lot of their politics in school. In elementary school they had a vote, and they all voted for Gore because they go by what the teachers tell them. My son, who is 7, comes home and says, "I think I will vote for Gore." I say, "Why? Why not Bush?" He says, "Because he likes to have guns." And I say, "Is that what you learned in school, that Bush runs around with guns?" He says, "Yeah." I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get into a discussion about hype or anything. (The teacher is probably a liberal.) I said, "Oh, that's interesting because Daddy knows Bush and he's a good man." Then my daughter comes home and says, "I think I'm an independent and I will swing my vote." And I think, "This is incredible." I can't remember being that smart and sophisticated. It's wild.

Zen Brushwork Focusing the Mind With Calligraphy and Painting
written by Thomas Judge, John Stevens
Kodansha International Ltd | ISBN 9784770029447
Paperback – 96 pages
Member's price: $44.96
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
With its bold strokes and mystic aura, Zen calligraphy has intrigued many Westerners since the 19060s, but has remained a little-understood art form. Here, master calligrapher and swordmaster Tanchu Terayama offers detailed lessons in Japanese techniques of the brush, as well as an in-depth appreciation of calligraphy's most subtle elements. Section one covers the basics (history, tools and posture) and presents a unique yoga-like warm-up to establish the proper mental attitude and release creative energies. Next, the power of the brushed line is diagnosed and practised. What makes a good line or a bad one, an expressive effort or an unfocused one? Then come lessons in penning symbolic Japanese characters, and finally Terayama teaches readers how to draw the elegant pictorial themes of this classic art: bamboo, plum blossoms, Mount Fuji, and the inspirational, if apocryphal, Zen patriarch Bodhidharma.

I have taken a photo of a very hard to read stone at Salem - the first letter of the first name is a G - it is in the Meredith line of markers.

Had to put a link in the bio. I couldn't add her as a daughter without her mother as a spouse. The poster of her memorial could add him as a parent, then it would be automatic.

Gentry Meredith-Salem Primitive Baptist
I returned to this cemetery today - I took someone with me in case I had missed this one.
Sorry, still no luck - I even looked for TC & MA Meredith - there is a tall one with Mary Meredith on it and one with Mary A. & J.F. Meredith - but the dates are too old.

Glen Haven, Winter Park, FL
I'm sending you this message because I see you have a photo request for Glen Haven in Winter Park. This cemetery refuses to provide a plot location, citing "invasion of privacy" and requires a notarized letter from the family to provide information which is usually freely given upon request by every other cemetery I've been to. This is SO frustrating for photo volunteers, and those simply requesting a photo of a grave.
I just sent an email to the Florida Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association in Tallahassee to complain about Glen Haven's refusal to provide plot locations, and how they treat volunteers. Perhaps something can be done if enough people complain.
Their website is ffda.org and the email address I sent it to is: email@example.com

I photographed the entire Coyner Springs cemetery in Novemeber 2010, and if there is not a photo on the cemetery page, I could not find it. There are a lot of unmarked graves in that cemetery.

PLCB employees are paid out of store profits. The stores still turn over $500 million a year after paying their employees and other expenses. Tax payers win!
Why do some people complain when others make a livable wage, ever think that union workers are not overpaid but maybe you're under paid.
In Washington State where they just privatized last month prices are up between 10 and and 40%. People are now driving to Oregon to buy there booze. Beware of what you wish for!
Conditions in the Wine and Spirit shops are "not that bad" because of the union
Gary, Over paid Clerks? What's wrong with people making decent wages? A consrvative like yourself should realize that the "market" depends on good wages. The middleclass in this country was created when auto workers became able to but the cars they built and steelworkers became able to buy homes and send their kids to college. BTW not one penny of union dues is given to candidates of any party.
I've been hearing that the PlCB was going to start losing money soon, since the Shapp administration and they just keep on sending hundreds of millions to the General fund. Please take your head of of your narrow ideology, Cane, and face the facts. The PA Wine and Spirit Shops work for all Pennsylvanians, even those that claim to hate them.
HB 11 is nohing short of a tax increase for the citizens of the Commonwealth and a price increase for the onsumers. Even the PFM study commisssioned by the Governor admits that prices will in all likelyhood go up for most popularly priced products and selection will go down for consumers except in a few lucky pockets of the State. Throw in the loss of 5000 jobs and I think that we should throw this turkey in the trash with the rest of the thanksgiving leftovers.

Alticast tees up Windmill iTV ecosystem
Alticast has launched an end-to-end digital interactive ecosystem for TV operators with support for cable, satellite, DTT, IPTV and hybrid systems.
The company's Windmill ecosystem was designed as a set of modular technologies, which give TV operators the ability to add advanced interactivity to existing systems while providing new revenue models and a roadmap to future services.
Windmill uses Alticast's new altiView user interface to provide content discovery across broadcast and over-the-top content, recommendations, and an integrated social experience to increase viewership and consumer loyalty.
Windmill was built on Alticast's altiPlatform middleware core, which provides compatibility with existing systems and pre-integrated support for content protection solutions. It works with Alticast's altiProtect CAS (conditional access system) and DRM (digital rights management), as well as with the other major vendors deployed in the market.
"Windmill is a cutting-edge TV ecosystem that will provide unparalleled customer satisfaction now and in the future, increasing average revenue per user and reducing churn. Windmill's open system architecture maximizes compatibility and minimizes costs for operators," stated Thomas Jung, chief marketing officer for Alticast.
Alticast will demonstrate Windmill at the Cable Congress in Zurich this week and at next week's CableLabs Winter Conference in Philadelphia.

Uranium is a dense, radioactive metallic element, naturally occurring in most rocks and soil and is the principal fuel for nuclear reactors. Uranium is found as an oxide or complex salt in minerals such as pitchblende and carnotite. It has an average concentration in the earth's crust of approximately two parts per million.
There is a strong ongoing commitment from many countries for nuclear energy, with China, India, Russia, South Korea and South Africa all reaffirming continued use of this energy source. There does not appear to be any reduction demand for uranium in the future.
Aura is looking at several different types of uranium occurrences with an initial focus on close to surface, open pittable deposits.

The classic instruments. Recorded with the original mics. In the original recording room. With the original equipment. This is Abbey Road in a box.
The Abbey Road Keyboards ReFill brings the sound of legendary Abbey Road Studios into your Reason rack. Recorded on location using Abbey Road's recording rooms and vintage equipment, this ReFill gives you access to seven time-honored Abbey Road instruments - these are the keyboards heard on all those immortal Abbey Road recordings.
The Abbey Road Keyboards were recorded using the original mics, outboard and vintage mixing desk from Abbey Road's Studio Two, recreating not only the sound of the instruments themselves, but the very signal paths, technology and recording techniques that is the Abbey Road sound. Each instrument was captured using multiple microphones placed at different locations in Studio Two's beautiful sounding recording space, allowing for full ambience control in Reason.
Forget multisampling - this is Hypersampling
All of the instruments in Abbey Road Keyboards were sampled using Propellerhead Software?s unique Hypersampling method:
Preset Patches
Combinator patches for various mic blends.
Style Patches
Processed Combinator patches.
Template Patches
Empty, pre-wired user patches.
40-page full color booklet
Enclosed in the Abbey Road Keyboards ReFill box is "Guide to Abbey Road Keyboards", a 40-page booklet by author by Mark Vail. Jam-packed with full color pictures and descriptive session diagrams, this book gives you in-depth info on the featured instruments and the Abbey Road technology used to record them.
System Requirements:
Mac? OS:
Steinway? Upright - the Mrs. Mills piano
A bright, wonderfully out-of-tune upright piano with lacquered hammers that give it a distinct, tack-piano sound. Its very special tuning, or lack thereof, adds a natural chorus effect to its tone. Purchased by Abbey Road in the 1950s, this piano has been played by many famous hands.
Challen Studio Piano
Studio Two's slightly mellow, warm sounding upright has a dark tone and incredible sustain. Built in the 1930s, this piano looks just as old as it sounds. Which is downright beautiful.
Hammond? RT-3
This Hammond? RT-3, property of Abbey Road since the 1960s, is similar to the classic Hammond? B3 organ, only bigger in size and packing more features. The majority of the featured RT-3 patches were recorded through a king-size Leslie? Model 122 speaker, for that true Hammond sound.
Mannborg Harmonium
An entirely acoustic, manually powered reed organ which uses pedal driven air pumps to generate sound. The Harmonium has a soft attack and swelling, drone-like sound.
Schiedmayer Celeste
An orchestral keyboard instrument with a warm, bell-like tone. Although played using mallets, the Celeste is a surprisingly quiet instrument. Recorded properly, however, it can sound amazingly expressive. The Schiedmayer Celeste is one of the oldest instruments in the Abbey Road arsenal.
Mellotron? MKII
The Mellotron?, a tape based version of todays digital sampler, was popular among fearless experimental musicians in the 60s and 70s. Sampled here are the Flute, Cello and String tape banks, as used in Abbey Road's Mellotron? mkII in the 1960s.
Premier Tubular Bells
An orchestral percussion instrument made up of hollow metal tubes mounted on a frame. Tuned and laid out like a keyboard instrument, these bells will add a distinctive 60s feel to your tracks.
Guide to Abbey Road Keyboards
Author Mark Vail is an authority on vintage technology. Having put out books like "Vintage Synthesizers" and "The Hammond Organ", he now hits us with "Guide to Abbey Road Keyboards", a 40-page booklet that is included in the Abbey Road Keyboards ReFill package. Containing full color pictures and microphone placement diagrams, this book gives you facts and trivia about each of the featured instruments, as well as detailed info on every piece of vintage kit used in the recordings.

Armistice Day 1918: People celebrating the end of the First World War at Trafalgar Square, in London
The fighting in World War I ended in Western Europe when the Armistice took effect at 11:00 am GMT on November 11, 1918, and in Eastern Europe by the early 1920s. During and in the aftermath of the war, the political, cultural, and social order was drastically changed in Europe, Asia and Africa, even outside the areas directly involved in the war. New countries were formed, old ones were abolished, international organizations were established, and many new and old ideologies took a firm hold in people's minds.
Throughout the period from the armistice on November 11, 1918 until the signing of the peace treaty with Germany on June 28, 1919, the Allies maintained the naval blockade of Germany that had begun during the war. As Germany was dependent on imports, it is estimated that 523,000 civilians had lost their lives during the war, and a quarter-million more died from disease or starvation in this eight month period.
The terms of the Armistice did allow food to be shipped into Germany, but the Allies required that Germany provide the ships. The German government was required to use its gold reserves, being unable to secure a loan from the United States.
Signing of Treaty of Versailles
The blockade was not lifted until early July 1919 when the Treaty of Versailles was signed by most of the combatant nations.
After the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, between Germany on the one side and France, Italy, Britain and other minor allied powers on the other side, officially ended war between those countries. Other treaties ended the belligerent relationships of the United States and the other Central Powers.
Included in the 440 articles of Treaty of Versailles were the demands that Germany officially accept responsibility for starting the war and pay heavy economic reparations. This treaty drastically limited the German military machine: the German troops were reduced to 100,000 and the country was prevented from possessing major military armament such as tanks, warships, and submarines.
Europe Map after World War I
There were some general consequences from the creation of a large number of new small states in Eastern Europe as a result of the dissolution of the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and (a little earlier) Ottoman empires, and the regional disturbance of the Russian Civil War. Internally these new states tended to have substantial ethnic minorities, which wished to unite with neighbouring states where their ethnicity dominated.
The League of Nations sponsored various Minority Treaties in an attempt to deal with the problem, but with the decline of the League in the 1930s these treaties became increasingly unenforceable. One consequence of the massive redrawing of borders and the political changes in the aftermath of World War I was the large number of European refugees.
Economic and military cooperation amongst these small states was minimal ensuring that the defeated powers of Germany and the Soviet Union retained a latent capacity to dominate the region. In the immediate aftermath of the war, defeat drove cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union but ultimately these two powers would compete to dominate Eastern Europe.
Inflation out of control in Germany after World War I
In Germany, there was a socialist revolution which led to the brief establishment of a number of communist political systems in (mainly urban) parts of the country, the abdication of the Kaiser, and the creation of the Weimar Republic.
On 28 June 1919, Germany, which was not allowed representation, was not present to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was forced to pay 132 billion marks ($31.5 billion, 6.6 billion pounds) in reparations (a very large amount for its day which was finally paid off in October, 2010). It was followed by the Inflation in the Weimar Republic, a period of hyperinflation in Germany between 1921 and 1923. On December 1922 the Reparations Commission declared Germany in default, and on 11 January 1923 French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr until 1925.
Germany saw relatively small amounts of territory transferred to Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Belgium, a larger amount to France and the greatest portion as part of re-established Poland.
Germany's overseas colonies were divided amongst a number of Allied countries. It was the loss of territory that now constituted part of Poland that caused by far the greatest resentment. Nazi propaganda would feed on a general German view that the treaty was unfair—many Germans never accepted the treaty as legitimate, and later gave their political support to Adolf Hitler, who was arguably the first national politician to both speak out and take action against the treaty's conditions.
Nations that gained territory:
Yugoslavia (as the successor state of the Kingdom of Serbia);
Romania, Greece, France, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and United Kingdom, with League of Nations Mandates;
Nations that lost territory:
Germany – forced to give it up after the Treaty of Versailles;
Weimar Germany (as the successor state of the German Empire);
China – Jiaozhou Bay and most of Shandong in North China forcibly ceded to the Japanese Empire;
Russian SFSR (as the successor state of the Russian Empire);
Austria (as the successor state of Cisleithania and the Austro-Hungarian Empire);
Hungary (as the successor state of Transleithania and the Austro-Hungarian Empire);
Turkey (as the successor state of the Ottoman Empire);
United Kingdom – most of Ireland as the Irish Free State.
Treaty of Versailles
The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I were dealt with in separate treaties.
Although the armistice signed on 11 November 1918 ended the actual fighting, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty.
Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required Germany to accept sole responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231–248 (later known as the War Guilt clauses), to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. The total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion, £6.6 billion) in 1921.
Article 227 charges former German Emperor, Wilhelm II, with supreme offense against international morality. He is to be tried as a war criminal.
Articles 228–230 tried many other Germans as war criminals.
Article 231 (the "War Guilt Clause") lays sole responsibility for the war on Germany, which is to be accountable for all damage to civilian populations of the Allies.
Signing the Treaty of Versailles
Part V of the treaty begins with the preamble: "In order to render possible the initiation of a general limitation of the armaments of all nations, Germany undertakes strictly to observe the military, naval and air clauses which follow...".
Germany was also forbidden to unite with Austria to form a larger Nation to make up for the lost land.
The Rhineland will become a demilitarized zone administered by Great Britain and France jointly.
German armed forces will number no more than 100,000 troops, and conscription will be abolished.
Enlisted men will be retained for at least 12 years; officers to be retained for at least 25 years.
German naval forces will be limited to 15,000 men, 6 battleships, 6 cruisers, 6 destroyers and 12 torpedo boats. No submarines are to be included.
The manufacture, import and export of weapons and poison gas are prohibited.
Armed aircraft, tanks and armoured cars are prohibited.
Blockades on ships are prohibited.
Restrictions on the manufacture of machine guns and rifles.
Territorial Changes
Germany's borders in 1919 had been established nearly a half-century earlier, at the country's official establishment in 1871. Territory and cities in the region had changed hands repeatedly for centuries, including at various times being owned by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kingdom of Sweden, Kingdom of Poland, and Kingdom of Lithuania. However, Germany laid claim to lands and cities that it viewed as historically "Germanic" centuries before Germany's establishment as a country in 1871. Other countries disputed Germany's claim to this territory. In the peace treaty, Germany agreed to return disputed lands and cities to various countries.
Germany was compelled to yield control of its colonies, and would also lose a number of European territories.
The province of West Prussia would be ceded to the restored Poland, thereby granting it access to the Baltic Sea via the "Polish Corridor" which Prussia had annexed in the Partitions of Poland. This turned East Prussia into an exclave, separated from mainland Germany.
Alsace and much of Lorraine, both originally German-speaking territories, were part of France, having been annexed by France's King Louis XIV who desired the Rhine as a natural border. After approximately two centuries of French rule, Alsace and the German-speaking part of Lorraine were ceded to Germany in 1871 under the Treaty of Frankfurt. In 1919 both regions were returned to France.
Northern Schleswig was returned to Denmark following a plebiscite on 14 February 1920. Central Schleswig, including the city of Flensburg, opted to remain German in a separate referendum on 14 March 1920.
Most of the Prussian provinces of Province of Posen (now Poznan) and of West Prussia which Prussia had annexed in the Partitions of Poland (1772–1795) were ceded to Poland without a plebiscite. Most of the Province of Posen had already come under Polish control during the Great Polish Uprising of 1918–1919.
The Hultschin area of Upper Silesia was transferred to Czechoslovakia without a plebiscite.
The eastern part of Upper Silesia was assigned to Poland, despite the Upper Silesia plebiscite resulting in 717,122 votes being cast for Germany and 483,514 for Poland.
The area of the towns Eupen and Malmedy went to Belgium despite a plebiscite to the contrary. The Vennbahn railway was also transferred to Belgium.
The area of Soldau in East Prussia, an important railway junction on the Warsaw-Danzig route, was transferred to Poland without a plebiscite.
The northern part of East Prussia known as the Memelland or Memel Territory was placed under the control of France and was later annexed by Lithuania.
From the eastern part of West Prussia and the southern part of East Prussia, after the East Prussian plebiscite a small area was ceded to Poland.
The province of Saarland was to be a under the control of the League of Nations for 15 years, after which a plebiscite between France and Germany, was to decide to which country it would belong. During this time, coal would be sent to France.
The strategically important port of Danzig with the delta of the Vistula River on the Baltic Sea was separated from Germany as the Freie Stadt Danzig (Free City of Danzig). This created the so-called Polish Corridor, giving Poland access to the sea.
Austria was forbidden from merging with Germany.
In article 22, German Colonies were divided between Belgium, the United Kingdom, and certain British Dominions, France, and Japan with the determination not to see any of them returned to Germany — a guarantee secured by Article 119.
In Africa, Britain and France divided German Kamerun (Cameroons) and Togoland. Belgium gained Ruanda-Urundi in northwestern German East Africa. Great Britain obtained by far the greater landmass of this colony, thus gaining the 'missing link' in the chain of British possessions stretching from South Africa to Egypt (Cape to Cairo). Portugal received the Kionga Triangle, a sliver of German East Africa. German South West Africa was mandated to the Union of South Africa.
In the Pacific, Japan gained Germany's islands north of the equator (the Marshall Islands, the Carolines, the Marianas and the Palau Islands) and Kiauchau in China.
German Samoa was assigned to New Zealand. German New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago and Nauru to Australia as mandatory.

Too Thin
You are only paying for the name on this headband, it just barely kept my ears warm on a low 60 degree early morning ride. For the quality of the item I could see paying 10 dollars for it but not 20.
Very thin but warm. Wore it on an ultra marathon in 20 degree weather and it worked great. Be prepared to wring out the sweat after because it is so thin. Fits under my bike helmet and my boarding helmet. Looks great is bonus

COLUMBIA Missouri coach Gary Pinkel sounded optimistic Wednesday about the possibility that his starting quarterback, junior James Franklin, would return for Saturdays game at South Carolina.
Franklin missed last weeks win over Arizona State with an inflamed bursa sac in his right (throwing) shoulder. Missouris medical staff cleared him to play, but he decided just before the game that he was too sore. He declined earlier in the week to take a pain-killing injection a decision that sparked some discussion, but no dissention from Pinkel.
Anybody that questions James Franklins toughness, they have to have been in a coma the last two years, Pinkel told reporters in
Missouri. Hes one of the toughest athletes Ive ever been around.
Franklin explained the decision to Missouri reporters by saying, I like to feel the pain, be my own doctor, because I dont want to hurt it more or do something where the next thing you know, I wont be able to play for two weeks. I want to feel every second of it to make sure I know how far I can go and how far I cant.
USC coach Steve Spurrier said its not uncommon for players to decline injections.
We had a player who didnt play the second half the other night (against Alabama-Birmingham) because he didnt want to take an IV, Spurrier said. He sort of cramped up. I dont think you ever force a guy who doesnt want to do it. Its a personal decision.
It looks like Franklin, a second-year starter, should be ready for USC, even as Missouris trainers proceed cautiously with him.
He wanted to throw (Tuesday), but they wanted to wait a day, Pinkel said Wednesday morning on the Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference. So hes going to go out and throw (Wednesday), and he told me he feels really, really good. Hes almost symptom free.
Redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser started in Franklins place against Arizona State. Franklin last season threw for 2,872 yards and 21 touchdowns and ran for 981 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Jones sets bar high
USCs Jadeveon Clowney is one of the nations best defensive ends. So is Georgias Jarvis Jones, who likely will be one of the top five picks in next years NFL Draft. You dont need to tell Missouris players that. They know how good Jones is, and how much impact an elite defensive end can have on a game.
Georgia beat Missouri 41-20 in Week 2 the Tigers only loss, in their only SEC game largely because of Jones. He had eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, an interception and a pass breakup.
USC defensive line coach Brad Lawing knows its not easy to disrupt Franklin, because he usually gets rid of the ball quickly in Missouris spread offense, which relies equally on running and passing.
Weve got to affect the quarterback, getting our hands up, knocking balls down, Lawing said. Of course, when theyre having to throw it fast, to me, thats affecting the quarterback, too. But weve got to defend the run first. If we dont stop the run, we wont win the game.
USCs suspended players return
USC this week gets two reserves, spur outside linebacker Sharrod Golightly and defensive tackle J.T. Surratt, back from three-game suspensions, for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Golightly is listed as the No. 3 spur, behind Jordan Diggs. Surratt is listed as tied for the second-string tackle spot with Philip Dukes.
Golightly and Surratt were both listed as second-stringers before preseason practices.
My intention is to get (Surratt) in the game when it dictates, Lawing said.

Bill Belicheck happens to be close friends with Jon Bon Jovi, so he decided to send Randy Moss home to the Minnesota Vikings. Ok, that might not be the exact truth, but Moss is going back to the team that drafted him back in 1998.

We are only one week in to the NFL season and the sound bytes are already coming out of his mouth. He tries to suppress his feelings to a degree and come across as professional, but it's not very difficult to see through. If you listen to his voice, there seems to be a mixture of mild anger, resentment, and the basic idea that he is not being given his due respect in New England.�...

A Trip to the Hall of Fame, Just Me and the Old Man
Posted on 16 Jul 2010 by johnw.
My Dad, the Old Man as I like to call him, was transferred from Miami to the Boston area in the early 80's. The job was one he couldn't pass up. It was a hard move on the whole family; I was indifferent because I was too young to know any better. We left sunny Florida for Boston, a place where the weather can be 60 degrees and sunny one day and a blizzard the next. Florida is full of shiny, h...

Royals right-hander Brooks Pounders took center stage yesterday, tossing a no-hitter for Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Brooks Pounders, RHP, Royals (Double-A Northwest Arkansas): 9.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K. Pounders is not a major prospect, but the no-hitter is impressive. He's a guy that could get a cup of coffee in the big leagues and end up as a swingman, or be a guy who frequently goes up and down.
Position Prospect of the Day: Grant Green, 2B, Athletics (Triple-A Sacramento): 2-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 4 RBI. I spoke with a scout the other day about Green, and he said, "I know he is putting up better numbers this year playing in the PCL, and I'm not sure I believe in him as a successful everyday candidate"; .432/.468/.886 with 6 2B, 1 3B, and 4 HR in last 44 at-bats.

Now in her seventh year on the job, Laura Watten has brought a dynamic new energy to the Maryland softball program. The Terrapin mentor has transformed the culture surrounding the Maryland program and brought an exciting brand of softball to Robert E. Taylor Stadium, which culminated with the program's second appearance in NCAA Regionals in May 2010.
None of it should be surprising, though. Watten's way is the "can-do" way, and it is precisely the approach the coach has taken in her quest to drive Maryland's softball program to national prominence. Hired prior to the start of the 2005-06 academic year, Watten has worked extensively to elevate all aspects of the program in an effort to put the Terps in a position to succeed on a national scale.
In 2012, Watten and her staff helped lead the Terrapins to a 34-22 overall record, 10-8 finish in ACC play, and a third-straight NCAA Regionals appearance. The Terps won 14 of 16 games to end the regular season and earn their postseason bid. Three of the Terrapins' seniors - Vangie Galindo, Kendra Knight and Kathy McLaughlin - were named to the All-ACC Team. The trio - part of one of Watten's original recruiting classes - were consistent performers for the Terps. Watten and the Terrapins were sent to Seattle to take on 16th-seeded Washington, No. 23 Texas Tech and Ivy League champion Harvard.
The Terrapins followed their 2010 NCAA Regionals berth with a second Regionals berth as host. They finished the year with a 40-19 record, the most wins since 1999, and a 12-7 ACC record - the most conference wins in school history. Four Terrapins were named to the All-ACC Team and Kerry Hickey was named ACC Pitcher of the Year.
In 2010, Watten helped lead the Terrapins to their first NCAA Regionals appearance in over 10 years. Not only were the Terps playing in Regionals, but the NCAA came to College Park as Maryland hosted Regionals for the first time in school history. The stadium was filled with sellout crowds as Fordham, Syracuse and Oklahoma all made their way to campus.
The 2009 campaign saw Watten's Terps finish fourth in the ACC - their highest finish in her tenure. They earned a 9-11 record in conference play and racked up the most conference wins in a season under Watten.
The 2008 campaign saw Watten's Terps post the third-highest win total (36) in team history, including a school-record 16-game winning streak early in the season. Maryland used a blazing 19-1 start to achieve national rankings in both the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 and the USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 polls for the first time since 1999.
In 2007, the Maryland program reaped the full benefits of Watten's recruiting efforts. Nine newcomers joined the team, including five transfers, and Maryland's lineup was transformed into an offensive juggernaut. The Terps shattered previous team records for home runs with 59 and stolen bases with 98 and set numerous individual records. Amber Jackson enjoyed the greatest offensive season in school history, setting new single-season records for batting average (.408), runs (61), home runs (24), RBIs (56) and walks (55). Jackson led the NCAA in home runs and was a first-team All-America selection by Easton.
During Watten's first season in College Park in 2006, the Terps improved their win total by four victories. Belak set a team-record with 70 hits to lead a rejuvenated offense.
Watten was fresh off leading Bethune-Cookman College to the 2005 NCAA Division I Super Regionals when she was tapped to lead the Terps' program. In guiding the Wildcats to a 49-win season, Watten garnered 2005 NFCA Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors.
During Watten's eight years at B-CC, the Wildcats made five NCAA Regional appearances and captured five conference titles. The four-time MEAC coach of the Year posted an eight-year mark of 322-207 and averaged more than 40 wins per season. She was inducted into the Bethune-Cookman Hall of Fame in Sept. 2012, along with Amber Jackson.

For an employee of Newsweek and a contributor to the New York Review of Books–both publications that typically veer between conventional pabulum and "progressive" zaniness–Christian Caryl displays unexpected wisdom in this essay: "Long Live American Imperialism."
He argues that, financial crisis or not, American leadership remains indispensable for the world, and that American taxpayers will continue to finance the military might that keeps us (and so many of our friends and allies) safe. After making the expected genuflections in the direction of those who harp on the limits of American power, he writes with bracing clarity:
Yet, on balance, the world would still be a much more dangerous place without America around. In a world of intensifying competition for natural resources, trust is still the rarest commodity of all. U.S. influence will undoubtedly wane as more and more countries build confidence in each other. But that's going to take a long time.
No question about it, America is overstretched. As economic turbulence hits home, U.S. voters are already less inclined to pay for overseas adventures. Yet to an extent, they don't have much choice. For the reasons I've described above, the world will probably need someone to play the role of arbiter, enforcer, hegemon-call it what you will-for a long while to come. ("Hegemony," by the way, is a Greek word that means "leadership.") Americans may not want to play that role, and the rest of the world doesn't always like the United States when it does. Yet I don't see anyone around who's ready to take its place. The European Union? It can't even forge a common foreign policy, much less a strategy for regional security and defense. China? Many of its neighbors are unlikely to be enthusiastic. Russia? Give me a break.
The upshot is that, whether we like it or not, the U.S. must continue to lead, no matter who is elected tomorrow. I only hope Barack Obama understands that, because, as Bob Kagan noted in the Washington Post, at times his supporters seem to give the impression that his job will be to manage our decline gracefully. That is not the role that the American people expect our president to play, and Obama, if he is elected, would go awry if he tried. With John McCain, there is no such danger: he is cognizant of the limits of American power but embraces it unapologetically as a force for good.
