Political Perspectives
Little America: The War within the War for Afghanistan.
Host Marvin Simmons speaks with Rajiv Chandrasekaran about his new book Little America: The War within the War for Afghanistan.
Rajiv Chandrasekaran is a senior correspondent and associate editor of The Washington Post. From 2009 to 2011, he reported on the war in Afghanistan for The Post, traveling extensively through the southern provinces of Helmand and Kandahar to reveal the impact of President Obama's decision to double U.S. force levels. HIs previous book, Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone won numerous awards for non-fiction.
When President Barack Obama ordered the surge of troops and aid to Afghanistan, Washington Post correspondent Rajiv Chandrasekaran followed. He found the effort sabotaged not only by Afghan and Pakistani malfeasance but by infighting and incompetence within the American government: a war cabinet arrested by vicious bickering among top national security aides; diplomats and aid workers who failed to deliver on their grand promises; generals who dispatched troops to the wrong places; and headstrong military leaders who sought a far more expansive campaign than the White House wanted.
Chandrasekaran explains how the United States has never understood Afghanistan—and probably never will.

Fifteen Steps to Corporate Feudalism
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Dennis Marker, author of FIFTEEN STEPS TO CORPORATE FEUDALISM: How the Rich Convinced America's Middle Class to Eliminate Themselves From Ronald Reagan to the Tea Party Movement.
Never has a philosophy of a country shifted as radically as it has the last thirty years. Marker details in pull-no-punches prose how the assault on the middle classes is widespread and relentless. Determining our actions today can move us towards either a stronger, more positive future, or a future shrouded in fear, poverty, war.
In a full frontal attack by what Marker calls the Corporate Feudalists, Marker details how the middle class has become superfluous to the very rich and why various policies were deliberately created to eliminate them. Their defining characteristic is dirty, scorched-earth partisanship carried out regardless of cost. Conservatives are anxious again to finish first – with the big prize- monopoly control of the American government, and the power to turn their ideology into the law of the land.

Sibel Edmonds on her memoir "Classified Woman"
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Sibel Edmonds about her new memoir "Classified Woman." Sibel Edmonds is the most classified woman in U.S. history. In her memoir she takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded.
Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public's right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds' story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.

The 2nd Revolution: Dismantling Corporate Rule
We live "drenched in corporate culture," with our planet, our democracy, and all of us "real people" under assault. But, according to Paul Cienfuegos, "We the people are more powerful than we dare to believe," and the corporate power structure CAN be dismantled. A long-time community organizer and educator, Cienfuegos provides a wealth of information showing how the fictions of "corporate personhood" and "corporate rights" can be challenged and reversed by empowered, informed citizen action. He'll be leading a Portland workshop June 9-10.
"If we relearn our history, if we understand again that corporations were designed to serve us, not to rule us, in this democratic republic, then we can reclaim our sovereignty. Once we understand this, the sky's the limit. We can rein in corporate constitutional "rights" as have more than 100 communities in PA, NH, ME, and VI." (The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund has provided advice and support to many of these communities - learn more HERE.)
On June 9 & 10, 2012 in Portland, Oregon, Paul Cienfuegos will be leading his full-weekend workshop: "We The People Are More Powerful Than We Dare to Believe: First Steps in Dismantling Corporate Rule." For more details about the content of the workshop, click HERE. For more details about cost (sliding scale), timing, and how to register, click HERE.
Community Rights PDX has begun rights-based activism here in Portland -- you can learn more HERE.

"What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets"
Host Michelle Schroeder Fletcher interviews Michael Sandel, author of "What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets." They'll talk about the difficult arguments missing from our public debates about the value being assigned by markets to nonmarket norms. What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society, and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets don't honor and that money can't buy?
Michael Sandel is a political philosopher and a professor at Harvard University. He is best known for the Harvard course 'Justice' which is available to view online, and for his critique of Rawls' A Theory of Justice in his Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (1982).
Michael Sandel speaks at Powell's Books in downtown Portland on Thursday May 10th at 7:30PM.

Green Empowerment: renewable energy and water systems that alleviate poverty
Aaron Liss of Green Empowerment talks about renewable energy projects in Nicaragua and the upcoming 25th anniversary of the death of Ben Linder.
April 28th will mark the 25th anniversary of the death of Ben Linder, a mechanical engineer from Portland who was killed by U.S.-backed contras in northern Nicaragua as he prepared to build a small hydroelectric plant. The project that Ben helped to launch has continued since his death. A recent editorial in The Oregonian speaks to the person that Ben Linder was and the impact he had.
The Association of Rural Development Workers—Benjamin Linder (ATDER-BL) has built clean water systems and small-scale hydro plants that provide renewable energy to 70,000 people. They have established a community-owned forest reserve and helped farmers to diversify their crops and protect the watersheds of the region. Green Empowerment has provided critical support to ATDER-BL efforts.

Taking Uncle Sam for a Ride
Host Per Fagereng interviews Dilip Hiro, whose most recent book is the just-published Apocalyptic Realm: Jihadists in South Asia. They'll discuss Hiro's recent article on TomDispatch.com called "Taking Uncle Sam for a Ride: How Pakistan Makes Washington Pay for the Afghan War." http://www.tomdispatch.com/archive/175530/
Is it really in the interest of the U.S. to get held up by our "friends" repeatedly to continue to fight a disastrous war in a country in which we're now negotiating to keep military trainers, special operations forces, and possibly others a decade beyond 2014 (another subject barely covered by our media)? Do you really want to be going through a version of this with Pakistan 10 years from now? Is your greatest desire to be supplying American military personnel with gas and hamburgers at earth-shaking prices in the second decade of a no-longer-new century?
Dilip Hiro was born in the Indian subcontinent and was educated in India, Britain and the United States. He's an internationally renowned expert on the Middle East. A journalist and historian, he's the author of 33 books.

Hood River Development - Mr. Naito
Please ask Mr. Naito if his love of democracy extends to his business. Would he be willing to turn his development firm into a employee run cooperative corporation, giving ownership and organizational rights to employees. Mr. Naito's concern for democracy probably ends at doors to his corporation. Mr. Naito looks at this battle to develop the Hood River riverfront property as a public realtions battle. He will promise the community jobs and the city council financial support, and the council will eye the property tax revenue as a benefit to the community. If he is successful, once again we will be selling our responsibility to the land and the river for a short term gain. Mr. Naito cares little for the community, but operates on greed. If the environmental laws and regulations were not in place he would not be concerned at all with the impact of his development on the river, the wild life, and the ability of people to enjoy what nature have given us for free.
Bravo for having this debate, though. And controlling the civility of the debate.

- In 1994, a players' strike wiped out the last eight weeks of the season and all post-season. Texas was in first place by two games in the West Division (despite being 10 games under .500) when play was stopped. No official titles were awarded in 1994.
The Texas Rangers are a professional baseball team based in Texas representing the Dallas-Ft.Worth metropolitan area. The Rangers are a member of the Western Division of the Major League Baseball American League. From 1994 to the present, the Rangers have played in Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, located in Arlington, Texas. The "Rangers" name originates from the famous law enforcement agency by the same name.

A car stolen in a robbery crashed into a goat farm in Seminole County while being pursued by deputies, leading to the arrest of two men, officials said.
The crash happened around 6:45 a.m. Friday along County Road 46 near Interstate 4.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, a man returning home at the Lemon Tree Condos in Orlando was approached by a gunman who stole his money and keys and took off in the man's Chevrolet Camaro.
Seminole County deputies spotted the car on Interstate 4 and pursued the car, which exited at County Road 46A and crashed into a retention pond at the goat farm, officials said.
Two men, identified as 21-year-old Sterling Anthony and 22-year-old James Earl Shuford, were arrested.
Anthony faces charges of robbery with a firearm and grand theft auto. Shuford's charges have not yet been determined.
The victim was not injured.

Planned Parenthood has come out with its annual report, and in it the abortion giant boasted that its affiliates around the nation performed 333,964 of the murderous procedures during 2010-11, up from 332,278 pre-born deaths in 2009, the previous yearly record. The latest number, which represents an abortion performed every 94 seconds, is just one of the many statistics the group crowed about in its just-released report. "We are so proud of the year's many successes, and deeply grateful for all the partners, sponsors, volunteers, staff and friends who helped make them possible," the group's president, Cecile Richards, said in a statement.
A fact sheet released with the report noted that among the "services" provided by Planned Parenthood during the reporting period were the distribution of 1.43 million "emergency contraception kits," which include birth control drugs known to cause abortion in pregnant women who take them. And while the abortion giant oversaw the killing of hundreds of thousands of babies, it could only muster 2,300 adoption referrals over the same time period, which comes out to some 145 abortions for every adoption.
As for other services it boasts, the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) noted that over the past three years, while its revenue has skyrocketed, Planned Parenthood's contraceptive services have dropped by 12 percent and its cancer screenings by 29 percent.
Meanwhile, according to its annual report, in 2010 Planned Parenthood raked in a record $542.4 million in federal, state, and local government funding — nearly half of its $1.2 billion in total revenue. Overall, Planned Parenthood ended the 2010-11 fiscal year with a $87.4 million profit.

Video: Buffalo Chosen for New $102 Million Steel Plant
BUFFALO, NY --- Empty plants along the waterfront are a reminder of when the steel industry was booming in Buffalo. Now, part of that past is starting to come back.
A steel making company based out of Dubai is moving forward with a $102 million dollar plant employing more than a 172 workers. Negotiations have been over a year in the making by state and local officials resulting in Alita picking the Queen City over Houston.
"We closed the deal in a way we wouldn't have before," Howard Zemski REDC chairman. "We were not working strategically and we didn't have all of these tools in our tool box -- so it's the perfect example of how it's coming together for Western New York."
New York State offered the company performance based incentives including millions in tax credits.
Erie County IDA is offering a 2 million forgivable loan toward site development costs.
Tuesday night, a source told Two on Your Side that Alita would like to use the old Republic Steel site for the new facility.
The company makes steel pipes used in the oil and hydro fracking industries.
"We're going to see construction jobs right up front, we're going to see construction jobs and the money that goes around from them," Mark Polancarz Erie County Executive said. "These are not jobs that are going to be paying minimum wage, they'll be paying a nice sum."
The average worker will make more than $72,000 dollars a year. It's exciting for western New Yorkers, who are looking forward to what else is to come.
"This company came to us. We're usually traveling around the world trying to attract companies to come to Western New York," Thomas Kucharski with Buffalo Niagara Enterprises said. "This company came to us and expressed the interest that shows really good things about our region."

Meet the Team
Working with Lynn at Webprodigy is truly a collaborative experience; she translated my ideas into graphic design that expresses exactly what I wanted, and came up with layout that is easy to navigate yet complex enough to handle all the different modalities I offer. Webprodigy really does make you shine online!
Thank you…so very excited about our new site. Can't tell you enough have happy we all are!!
It is with great pleasure that I am writing you this letter to let you know how pleased I have been with the website you did for us at Telesys Northwest.
Your professionalism, attention to detail and artistic ability, and numerous recommendations are what made me want to do business with you and Web Prodigy.
During the course of the project, you took a lot of time up front to learn about Telesys NW, our culture and values, our service offerings, and the way we do business with our clients. Then you went to work developing our new site.
Since our site went live in late 2010, we have had a number of people make comments about how professional our sites looks in helping them to understand our business and how we can help their business.
Thank you for the outstanding job Lynn. I have and will continue to recommend you to anyone looking to get a professional website that will clearly represent their business.
If any of your prospects would like to talk with a current client, I will be more than happy to share the great experience I had in working with you and your firm.
We worked with Lynn Wenger of WebProdigy over the past few years and had them build and improve our Website. Lynn and her team have the right mix of technical understanding and artistic creativity that helped us get good search ranking and present a professional image to our visitors. Lynn and her team have been great to work with and provided great value for our Website investment.
Several months ago the online server for my business changed causing my website to crash. My online store was gone and I needed to find a webmaster to fix it fast. I was told about WebProdigy and was very glad to meet Lynn. She worked out all the problems, got my site back up to speed and made it better than it was before. She has made additions to the site in a very timely manner and her fees are very reasonable. I would recommend her services to anyone.
Lynn's professional and insightful design skills are quite impressive. Along every step of the development path, Lynn concentrated on how to best accommodate the particular needs of my business and its products. As my product line grows, and my site's needs change, I look forward to drawing on Lynn's talent to "make it happen."
This is my personal and business testimonial for Lynn, the webmaster! Lynn created our business website, with the specific needs of our profession in mind. She took time to get to know us and create a site that expresses who we are and what we do. She has always done her best to keep a professional attitude, accommodate our requests and updates in a timely manner , She always keeps the lines of communication open. Without Lynn and her creative energy we would not have the awesome website that we enjoy today! Our website has been a big boost to our business and we are very proud to use it as a promotional tool! Thanks a million!
The City of Washougal needed an online presence to inform local citizens, the City Council, and visitors about Washougal's government, history, recreation, and to provide an alternative mode to contact city officials. We recognized that Lynn Wenger with WebProdigy was just the individual who could interpret our requirements and deliver a professional web site on time and on budget.We consistently receive many positive comments as the site has proven to be a valuable source of information to our users.

LOWVILLE Lewis County officials next week will hold a public forum to make their case for a new office building.
Doing nothing is not an option anymore, said Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan.
An informational session has been set for 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Lowville fire hall on North State Street.
All interested residents are invited to attend the program, which is to include a presentation on the rationale for the more than $8 million project and more specifics of the venture, along with a question-and-answer and public comment period at the end. The office building, slated to be constructed on outer Stowe Street next to the Public Safety Building, is intended to reduce or eliminate the countys need for leased office space and provide a new home for the Department of Social Services.
The Feb. 26 presentation will offer a look at the financial impact of the building project, which would be partially covered by state DSS reimbursement funding, versus continuing to rent office space at several locations.
However, before that happens, county lawmakers will hold a committee-meeting-of-the-whole at 1 p.m. Thursday in the second-floor chambers of the county office building, North State Street, to continue discussions on the project, along with getting an executive session update on union contract negotiations.
By Thursday, were going to be ready to throw everything at anyone, Mr. Tabolt said.
Legislators still need to make several decisions, including what to do with space to be vacated by DSS in the outer Stowe Street office building.
While initial plans were to make more than $2 million worth of renovations to that building so the county Mental Health Center could move from Lowville Commons on South State Street, the clinic now is privately operated by Transitional Living Services of Northern New York, Watertown.
Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, in 2011 designed a three-story office building with an unfinished top floor intended solely for storage and future needs.
While some lawmakers continue to express interest in the three-floor project, Mr. Tabolt said some appear to be reconsidering, given an additional $2.5 million cost for the extra floor and the potential for moving some offices planned for the new building into the existing DSS building instead. Construction costs now are projected at $8.7 million for two stories or $11.2 million for three.
To help prepare for that decision, legislative Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, last week worked to update space needs for county departments now in rented office space: elections, highway and solid waste departments, Office for the Aging, Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Health.
Jacks really doing his homework, Mr. Tabolt said.
Bernier, Carr President Rick W. Tague is slated to meet with county and DSS officials on Monday, despite the Presidents Day holiday, to determine if any design changes need to be made for that departments space.
Were kind of pushing ourselves to get things lined up, Mr. Tabolt said.
Assuming there will be no glitches, the building project could be approved by lawmakers as soon as their March 5 meeting, allowing for construction to start in midsummer and be completed in fall 2014.
The office building project, previously put on hold by budgetary constraints, was revitalized in December after the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services expressed interest in the former St. Peters Catholic School on Shady Avenue, which houses several county offices. BOCES officials are considering moving the 41-student alternative education program from the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center campus in Glenfield.

Few things can detract from your interior more than worn and damaged carpet. Sure, seat covers and door panels can become ripped, torn and stained just like carpet, but carpet can also become moldy and mildewed if it gets soaked (common on older leaky convertibles) too many times, resulting in offensive odors. There's no need to drive a vehicle that assaults the senses this way, so whether you're doing a restoration or just want to freshen your interior, replace that ugly and smelly carpeting with Pro-line Replacement Carpet from Lund.
Pro-line is made in popular heavyweight 16 oz. pile and 80/20 loop styles, so they're sure to have the carpet that will closely match the original carpet's feel and texture.

Rumor: Knicks Preparing "Major" Run at Phil
RUMOR OF THE WEEK: If the New York Knicks don't advance beyond the first round of the playoffs, I'm hearing they'll make a major — repeat, major — push to lure legendary coach Phil Jackson out of retirement.
With money being no object, the scuttlebutt is the Knicks brass may offer the "Zen Master" a four-year, $50 million deal.
Obviously nothing new here from what I've been hearing. Sources continue to tell me they are convinced a deal will happen with Phil barring a major run. And this isn't a knock on Woodson this is what it is. Phil has not publicly said he doesn't want the job. I'm speculating but the Grunwald announcement is a shrewd PR move keeping the distraction away from the team and its focus.
That's my opinion based on many things I've heard about Phil throughout the league this season that have been reported here repeatedly.
Ken Berger of CBS has a source quoted saying this several months back…
"The feeling is, all Dolan would have to do is ask, and Phil would say yes," a person connected to the former Lakers coach told me this week.

A Watertown native is making inroads in battling one of the oldest and deadliest diseases known to mankind.
More than 1.2 million people died from malaria worldwide in 2010, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Forty eight percent of deaths were children 5 and under. Most of the deaths were in Africa.
Weve probably spent the most amount of time and money researching it, and yet it still persists, said Stephen M. Rich, a 1984 graduate of Immaculate Heart Central High School and a 1989 graduate of St. Lawrence University, Canton. The reason is because it changes. It evolves. It has the ability to adapt to virtually everything we do.
But Mr. Rich, a molecular parasitologist and a zoonotic disease expert at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and director of the colleges laboratory of medical zoology, is leading a research team that has developed a new low-cost approach to fighting malaria, which is spread by infected mosquitoes.
The mission is to fight the mosquito-borne parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes the deadliest form of malaria. It has developed resistance to every drug tried against it.
There is no effective vaccine against malaria. The drugs taken to try to prevent it are the same drugs used to treat the disease, according to the Mayo Clinic. No antimalarial drug is 100 percent effective.
Those drugs, Mr. Rich said, although affordable to someone in the U.S., may have a cost equal to the annual salary of someone in Africa.
A whole plant therapy approach Mr. Richs team is working on may be a much cheaper and effective alternative.
Mr. Rich, son of Stephen L. and Catherine M. Caye Rich, Watertown, took some time to discuss the approach during a phone interview from his office in Amherst.
People have known about the effectiveness of the artemisia annua plant, also known as sweet wormwood, in treating malaria for thousands of years, Mr. Rich said.
The Chinese used it as a medicine to treat fevers, before they called it malaria, Mr. Rich said. They would take the plant, make a tea and it cured them of some of the fevers they suffered from, many of which probably were malaria, in retrospect.
During the Vietnam War era, Mr. Rich said, Chinese leader Mao Zedong charged his scientists with finding a cure for malaria, which was ravaging North Vietnamese troops.
They scoured all these past records and they found the plant that had been used for thousands of years, Mr. Rich said.
They then isolated the pure drug extract, artemisinin, that fought malaria.
It turns out it worked pretty well Mr. Rich said.
But there were two issues with it.
Its not cheap enough that you can get it to enough people so that its going to have an impact we wanted to have, Mr. Rich said.
Its also in short supply.
We have to extract it from the plant, Mr. Rich said. The plant doesnt produce very much of that chemical and it creates a real shortage.
A chemical copy, he said, would be even more expensive.
The whole idea was how do we get more of this white powder out of this plant? Mr. Rich said.
He noted that Pamela J. Weathers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts had spent years studying the artemisia plant with research physician Dr. Doug Golenbock at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. It was found that when mice were given the whole artemisia they had more of the plant-based compounds in their blood than if they were given an extract.
But Ms. Weathers didnt know how to test her method in regard to malaria, Mr. Rich said.
I said, Youve come to the right place, he said.
His team found that mice treated with low-dose, whole-plant artemisia showed significantly lower parasite loads than those treated with much higher doses of the purified artemisinin drug or a placebo.
The long-term plan is to grow artemisia in large quantities in Africa and other regions hit hard by malaria.
Were studying this all in mice, Mr. Rich said. It has to be demonstrated it works equally well in people.
The plant, Mr. Rich said, can be dried and pressed into tablets or put in capsules. It has also been discussed using it as a powder to mix with milk. Smoking it, he said, is ineffective.
Mr. Rich said his sources in Africa have indicated they are eager to try the process, a fast-track approach at odds with the Food and Drug Administrations more cautious approval process.
In Africa, they dont really care, Mr. Rich said. Theyre dying, so theyll use whatever is available. Our African colleagues on the ground are treating malaria and see patients die from it in the hospital every day. When they read our paper, they said, We dont need any more proof. Were just going to go ahead and do it.
But Mr. Rich said that approach is not something his team condones.
If this, or any malaria treatment, is not used properly, it can actually make matters worse because its misuse can help the parasite overcome the drug by evolving resistance, he said.
Mr. Rich noted that this has happened several times in the last century, most notably in the 1950s and 1960s when more than 60 countries worked together to try to eradicate malaria.
We want to avoid that, Mr. Rich said. We are pushing hard to get more funding in our lab to do these important preliminary investigations.
In the most recent experiments, it was found that rodent bloodstreams had eight times the minimum concentration of the compound required to kill the Plasmodium parasite when the whole plant was used.
With this new treatment, Mr. Rich said, parasites may be less able to evolve resistance to the whole plant because the plants makeup is far more complex. It also could drastically reduce the high cost associated with malaria treatment.
Its a local agriculture solution to a global health problem, Mr. Rich said.
He added, It will be a couple of years before were in a position where wed have the proof in line where the World Health Organization would actually get behind it and endorse it.
Mosquitoes that spread malaria, Mr. Rich said, are particularly vexing because they have certain characteristics: They come out only at night, biting people as they sleep, and they prefer the blood of humans.
Most mosquitoes would rather feed on a bird, or whatever else is out in the wild, Mr. Rich said. We sort of end up in the middle between them and what theyre preferring. But these malaria mosquitoes, we are their favorite food. Theyre looking for us.
They also seek out human habitations.
They evolved with us, Mr. Rich said.
The Institute for Health Metrics, in its report released last year, noted that starting in 1985, malaria deaths grew every year before peaking in 2004 at 1.8 million worldwide. Since then, the number of deaths fell annually, and between 2007 and 2010, the decline in deaths was more than 7 percent each year. The decline was attributed to better use of insecticide-treated bed nets and artemisinin-combination treatments.
Tick research
After receiving his degree in biology from SLU, Mr. Rich attended the University of Vermont in Burlington, where he received his masters degree in 1993. He received his Ph.D from the University of California in 1997.
Besides malaria, Mr. Rich h also as focused on the study of Lyme disease, a tick-borne bacterial infection that can cause skin, nerve, heart and arthritis complications. His Amherst lab offers testing for a variety of tick-borne pathogens. In general, his work at the lab focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of pathogen and host populations and intervening in the transmission of those pathogens.
In 1992, on a tiny island in Maine, Mr. Rich discovered Lyme disease-infected Norway rats. Until that find, it was believed that only mice carried the disease.
His research into Lyme disease has been funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Museum of Natural History and the National Science Foundation.
Mr. Rich said he first fell in love with biological research at SLU.
Thats what I wanted to do with my life, but didnt know what that would entail, he said.

ON THE HORIZON – Calvin De Haan, D, Bridgeport (AHL)
After selecting John Tavares with the first pick of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, the Islanders organization envisioned that pick to be the cornerstone for a franchise seeking its first playoff series victory in nearly two decades.
And Tavares hasn't disappointed!
However, it was the selection made just minutes later by Snow and his scouting staff that continues to draw criticism – deservedly so or not – from die hard Islander fans, questioning whether the price that was paid was indeed a prudent one or one that will be a head-scratcher to mull over for years to come.
The Islanders traded five of their own draft picks – first rounder-26, second rounder-37, third rounders-62 and 82 and fourth rounder-92 – to move up twice in the first round (26-to-16-to-12) to draft then 18-year-old defenseman Calvin De Haan.
At six-feet, 170 pounds, De Haan, who was tabbed as the 22nd best prospect by The Hockey News and 36th by the International Scouting Service prior to the draft, was himself surprised by the selection. Yet, he was elated.
"I didn't have a clue that the Islanders were going to move up and select me," said De Haan, whose stock skyrocketed that spring following a stellar campaign at Oshawa (OHL) after his former junior teammates Tavares and current New York Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto were traded to London (OHL), leaving the cerebral defenseman to step up to the forefront and assume the lead role on the Generals' blue-line. "But when reality set in, I was very excited. It was a surreal moment, and definitely one of the best moments in my life."
De Haan finished second among Ontario Hockey League rookie blue-liners with 63 points – eight goals and 55 assists – during the 2008-09 campaign for the Generals. At the tail end of that season, he was selected to play for the Canadian under-18 World Junior Championship squad in April 2009 in Fargo, North Dakota.
Despite assisting on six goals in six tournament games, De Haan's Canadian team finished a disappointing fourth. The United States would defeat the Russians, 5-0 to win the gold.
After being selected by the Islanders later in the summer, De Haan returned to Oshawa for a second season, and was subsequently chosen to the 2010 Canadian World Junior Championship team in November. His tournament only lasted four games, as he suffered a blow to the head in a semifinal victory against Switzerland. He assisted on one goal, but Canada would drop the gold medal to the United States in overtime, 6-5 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
De Haan's future teammate Matt Donovan was a defenseman for the victors, as Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson would tally the game-winner for the Americans.
Despite the loss, the experience was one that De Haan would soon not forget.
"Playing in the World Junior Championships was incredible," said De Haan. "Anytime you put on that jersey, only a select few are fortunate enough to wear it."
Unfortunately, De Haan's string of bad luck would continue nearly a month later playing for the Generals, as he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury against Saginaw. The injury sidelined him for six months, preventing a late season call-up by the Islanders.
De Haan would only play 34 games in Oshawa that 2009-10 season, collecting 24 points – five goals and 19 assists.
After signing his three-year entry deal in May 2010, De Haan's rehabilitation from the shoulder injury would end by mid-summer, as he was invited to the Islanders training camp. He impressed the Islander brass, but was cut prior to opening night against Dallas and was immediately returned to Oshawa for a third and final season.
De Haan finished the 2010-11 campaign in Oshawa by scoring 48 points – six goals and 42 assists. He was also named an alternate captain for the Canadians in the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, alongside Nashville Predator prospect Ryan Ellis, Philadelphia Flyer prospect Brayden Schenn and Ottawa Senator prospect Jared Cowen.
For a second consecutive tournament, De Haan would not be around for the conclusion, as he suffered a lower body injury in preliminary round play against the Czech Republic.
Canada, who also had Islander prospect Casey Cizikas on its squad, would squander a 3-0 lead in the gold medal finale, surrendering five third-period goals to the Russians, in a 5-3 setback.
The injury left many questioning De Haan's durability, wondering if his lack of physicality would take its toll on one of the team's premiere prospects.
De Haan wasn't concerned.
"Some guys were more physically developed than me, when I was drafted," said De Haan. "I continue to get stronger each day. The goal is to play in the NHL."
For a second straight summer, De Haan was invited to Islanders training camp. He played alongside fellow Canadian teammate Travis Hamonic and Islanders captain Mark Streit, and competed as if he belonged.
Physically, he bulked up to 190 pounds, and despite being shuttled down to the Islanders' AHL affiliate in Bridgeport, De Haan remains on target to be a mainstay on the Islanders blue line in the coming years, according to Sound Tiger head coach Brent Thompson.
"At six-feet-one, 190 pounds, Calvin has good size," said Thompson, who was named the Sound Tigers' head coach this past summer after three successful seasons leading the Alaska Aces in the East Coast Hockey League, winning a Kelly Cup Championship in 2011. "He could definitely put on some weight, but there is no doubt that he will be a top end offensive defenseman in the NHL.
"He has a great head for the game."
In his first season in the American Hockey League, De Haan has scored two goals, while assisting on four others. He also has logged an average 20-plus minutes per game in his first 17 contests.
De Haan, who once again injured his shoulder on November 12 at Springfield and missed nearly two weeks of action, returned to action this past Friday night at home against Bridgeport's cross-state rivals, The Connecticut Whale – The New York Rangers' top AHL affiliate. He scored his second professional goal in the Sound Tigers' 6-2 win.
"Calvin is making progress each day," said Thompson, who played 121 National Hockey League games with the Winnipeg Jets, Phoenix Coyotes and Los Angeles Kings. "For a defenseman, it usually takes a little longer to develop. The longer they can develop, the better a player they can be on the NHL level."
De Haan has followed his coach's patience to a tee.
"I have no time table on when I should be called up," said De Haan, who will turn 21 this upcoming May. "If I get called up, it would be incredible. But if it is a day, a week, a year, whatever the organization thinks is appropriate, I will back them up."
What De Haan supposedly lacks in muscle, he makes up for it in smarts and skating ability. That reason alone is why both De Haan and Thompson eye former New Jersey Devils defenseman and future hall of famer Scott Niedermayer as a prototypical comparison moving forward.
"How Scott played and how he kept his head in the game at all times is what I see in Calvin," said Thompson. "They both move the puck extremely well."
De Haan concurred.
"My strength is being a defenseman who makes the smart play," said De Haan. "I am trying to be a two-way guy, who will be a quarterback on the power play in the NHL.
"Scott Niedermayer was that type of defenseman."
Outside the rink, De Haan has enjoyed hanging out with his new Sound Tiger teammates, including top Islanders prospects Donovan, Cizikas and Aaron Ness. He also enjoys heading to the mall and going bowling.
However, Thompson believes De Haan greatest attribute to his team and a future stint on the Island is his character both on and off the ice.
"Calvin is a first rate citizen." said Thompson. "He speaks extremely well. He is a great character guy.
"He is usually one of the first guys in the locker room and one of the first guys in the gym. He simply wants to be the best hockey player he can be."
Will the Islander brass continue to remain patient with one of their crown jewels or will they make the same mistake as they did a few years back by rushing another slight in size Ontario Hockey League standout into the NHL?
Only time will tell.

Leather Bound Books
I have a Vintage Green Leather Bound Book "The Sonnets of John Keats". There are 54 Sonnets. Each Sonnet stars with a very large intricate letter of the first word. The book has no publishing markings, and the pages are edged in gold. Any ideas? Anyone? Can not find anything like it on the web and I would appreciate any help in valuation.

|8-Year Old, Uncle Airlifted After 4-Wheeler Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 18 November 2012 06:11
A man and a his 8-year old nephew were airlifted to Johnson City Medical Center mid afternoon Saturday after the 4-wheeler they were riding blew a tire and wrecked on U.S. 321 in Sugar Grove. The 4-wheeler hit a guardrail near Guy Ford Road, according to State Patrol Sgt. R.D. Smith,
the impact throwing both riders from the vehicle, the child, down an embankment off of the road. Cove Creek first responders and Watauga Rescue responded just after 3pm for the possible carry-out of the child, while a landing zone was set up on the 321 bridge over the Watauga River. Arriving Watauga Medics called for a second chopper, and WINGS Air Rescue sent both WINGS 2 and 4, and in rapid succession, picked up both the injured. The man reportedly suffered a chest injury, the child a severe cut in the crash, being investigated by trooper Alexander, whose report was not complete late yesterday.

A high-ranking Mexican drug trafficker with the powerful Sinaloa cartel made a series of explosive allegations in a federal court filing, arguing that he had an agreement with top U.S. officials allowing his criminal empire to obtain American weapons from the federal government while shipping tons of cocaine and heroin across the border. According to court documents, U.S. agents even helped the cartel elude Mexican and American investigators in exchange for information on rival drug groups.
The claims were made by Jesus Vicente "El Vicentillo" Zambada-Niebla, who was arrested by the Mexican military in 2009 and extradited to the U.S. for trial on federal drug-trafficking charges. Prosecutors accused him of serving as the "logistical coordinator" for the Sinaloa cartel. He responded earlier this year by invoking a "public authority" defense — essentially arguing that since he was working for the U.S. government under an agreement, he cannot be prosecuted.

The study of journalism has both a practical and a theoretical side. The practical side emphasizes the development of writing, reporting, editing, design and photography skills used in the mass media. The theoretical side, closely tied to the social sciences, studies the social, political, psychological, historical and economic impact of the mass media and the ethical standards and practices of media professionals.
Special Featrures
The cornerstone of the journalism program at IU Southeast is the two-semester internship on the weekly campus newspaper, The Horizon. This internship gives students real world experience in reporting, editing, photography, page design and advertising sales. The paper, run by students, consistently wins awards from the Indiana Collegiate Press Association, the Hoosier State Press Association and Society of Professional Journalism.
Another special feature of the program is the individual attention journalism students receive. Enrollment in most journalism classes is restricted to 15 to 20 students so instructors can work closely and effectively with each student enrolled. Journalism students are also assigned faculty advisers who provide academic counseling and career planning.

Ibis Hakkalugi Disc - 2015 $1,849.00
Worthy of its pedigree.
While Ibis has long been in the cyclocross market, it wasn't until 2013 that it navigated this domain with discs at the ready. The resulting frame, the Hakkalugi Disc, underwent a complete redesign. More than just a revised iteration of the "lugi" that you'd come to know and love, the Hakkalugi was given a new geometry, increased strength and rigidity, and most notably, compatibility for disc brakes. And while redesigning a much lauded frame feels touch and go, the Hakkalugi's big brother proves that it's worthy of its pedigree — paid homage to by the phlegm spewing Belgium Lion head badge. Because, while Ibis doesn't hail from the cyclocross kingdom, it does lay claim to knowing a thing or two about winning races. The Hakkalugi Disc has truly come onto its own.
For the new frame, the Disc's monocoque carbon fiber construction is based on the venerable, Nationals-winning Hakkalügi lay-up. The whole frame is built with pre-impregnated carbon fiber sheet, hand rolled around silicone forms, placed into a steel mold, and baked until done. This unified structure assures that it's not only lighter than ever, but strong enough for serious 'cross courses, jarring dirt roads, and trail rides. The patent pending Cylindrical Tube Technology used in the front triangle makes for excellent torsional stiffness and precise handling for those uphill-through-the-mud slogfests and snot-slick off-camber corners. In an effort to reduce as much excess weight as possible, Ibis chose to use compression molded carbon for the dropouts and the seat tube insert is also 100% carbon. All in all, the frameset comes out to around 1150 grams for the largest size.
Now, as Ibis would be the first to tell you, materials are only part of a frame's construction. The Hakkalügi Disc features a whole new geometry across every size range. For the 53cm, the seat tube angle has been relaxed by around a degree, while the top tube and head tube lengths have been shortened. So, you're going to experience a new level of nimble agility with this geometry. This is also due to the 'Lügi Disc's 1-1/8 x 1-1/2in tapered head tube and pure carbon fiber Enve Cross Disc Fork. Together, you'll experience a minimization of shudder and a heightened sensation of precision for everything from handling, to climbing, to sprinting. And to make the 'Lügi's characteristics remain even across various, sloppy terrain, the frame now accommodates up to 38mm large knob tires.
Not surprisingly, we still haven't covered all of the Hakkalügi Disc's distinguishing features -- don't worry, we're getting to the obvious one. On the quest to shave grams while increasing rigidity, Ibis adopted a BB86 press fit bottom bracket. And as long as we're hovering around this part of the bike, just above, you'll notice that there's now a top-pull front derailleur that'll improve shifts in nasty conditions. Now for the brakes. Yes, you guessed it -- the Hakkalügi Disc is setup for disc brakes. The frame uses a 135mm rear spacing with bosses for post-mount calipers and is balanced for 160mm rotor up front and a 140mm rotor out back without adapters. And while we know that you probably don't need the pitch on disc brakes, we'll give it to you anyways. It all comes down to power, and how much of your own that you're willing to give away needlessly. Disc brakes feature increased stopping power (especially in wet conditions) without the pesky issue of fork shudder. Your hands are also going to thank you for requiring them to use less force on the lever for greater gains in braking.
The Ibis Hakkalügi Disc is available in six whole sizes from 47 to 61cm and in the colors Black/yellow and White/black.

Such a fun bike
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My setup was a bit unique in that it was internally routed Ultegra 6700 Di2 with Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels. I didn't have any clearance issues with my updated 2014 frame running 10 speed, but that was my experience. I absolutely loved this bike as never seemed to back down to anything I wanted to throw at it. When I wanted to get off the beaten path, it was smooth and made me want to keep exploring and when I wanted to hit the tarmac, even with light cross tires on, it handled well at speed and felt nice and stable. I can't say enough good things about the frame, and don't have a single complaint...Well maybe that it wasn't electronic compatible from the get go. While I sold the bike to try something new, I can't wait until I can throw a leg over another Hakkalugi.

Almost no clearance
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Haka 2013 disc with ultegra Di2 & mavic crossmax SLR wheels. Love the bike, it rides great in cross, gravel grinders and some single track. However, I'm on my 2nd frame as the first was built with no clearance for the rear cassette. Gouging of the carbon frame was immediate. Competitive cyclist was good to swap the frame out and rebuild the bike with better cassette spacing. After a season of "light" use (not my full time bike) but including ~ 200 miles of gravel racing the improved clearance has proven to be insufficient. I have never dropped a chain (thanks Di2!) yet the chain has gouged the frame again. Maybe it's the wheels that the bike was spec'd with? If so, I am now shocked that Competitive cyclist let this bike go out the door TWICE! with this problem waiting to happen. The rotor clearance is pretty sucky too as I doubt a credit card would fit between the frame and rotor. A friend was building up this bike a few weeks ago with different wheels, but similar clearance issues. Still loving the bike.... until catastrophic failure occurs. Forget about resale value with the damage. $1,850 frame say goodbye.
This is the type of info that makes user reviews helpful. I've been contemplating setting up a Hakkalugi the same way. I guess I won't.

The 2014 rear drive side is different than what is pictured here. No issues with Ultegra 6800 on my 2014 HakkDisc.
Jeeeze that sucks. But I dont think carbon does well with gouges--might question structural integrity. Did you try and contact Ibis directly to see if this is considered a factory defect under the frame warranty? E.g. I bought a Pearl I. jacket that had many design defects, as opposed to manufacturing defects that would have been covered under the retailer's warranty. PI was waaay cool and comp'd me any new garment I wanted. That said, FWIW, these guys are great: www.ruckuscomp.com. Frame might (?) actually be stronger after repair and paint would be "matchy-matchy"
And www.ruckuscomp.com can do custom add-on fender eyelets...OK, yeah, the dork factor, but up here in the snow belt and in the pacific NW, fenders are a "must have"

I'm 6'4" and do CAT4 mens races and this bike is just plain fun to ride.
