Contrary to popular belief, brussel sprouts can be delicious without cheese sauce OR bacon. Don't believe me? Challenge accepted.
The first time I'd ever attempted these crispy, oven-roasted mouthfuls of heaven, brussel sprouts slathered in cheese sauce was all I had ever known. When I was a kid, it was the only way my Mother could get me to eat them. As long as something disgusting was covered in cheese, I was game. She could have served me a dusty sneaker covered in cheese and I would have probably considered it for a moment. Errr..
Anyway, I had no idea what I was stepping into here, but I'm really jazzed that I was brave enough to do up some brussel sprouts sans Cheez Whiz.
These. Are. DELICIOUS.
Maple Dijon Brussel Sprouts! (w/ toasted walnuts)
You will need…
- 2 lbs fresh, whole brussel sprouts
- 2 tbsp. olive oil (separated)
- 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. of maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp. dried up garlic
- 1/4 walnuts, chopped and toasted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Rinse your brussel sprouts. If they have long and/or brownish ends, trim them, then halve sprouts.
Place them in a bowl, and drizzle 1 tbsp. of olive oil on them. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss until evenly coated.
Next, spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent any sticking. Place the brussel sprouts on the baking sheet, face down.
Pop them in the oven. After about 15 mins, take them out and flip the brussel sprouts onto their backs. The face of your brussel sprouts should be golden brown. Pop them back into the oven for another 15 mins. If they look brown or burnt, don't fret. They're just roasting properly, and trust me, the browning offers an amazing flavor and a wonderful crisp.
While that's in the oven, start your dressing.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp. of olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, garlic, and your toasted walnuts.
When the sprouts are done, toss them in the bowl with the dressing until they are evenly coated.
Serve right away while still hot, and enjoy the moment as you turn brussel sprout skeptics into complete fanatics.

On Feeling the Misery of Strangers
February 04, 2005
The other day, as I was walking to the grocery store, I strategically moved toward the far edge of the sidewalk to put distance between myself and a pile of large, black trash bags haphazardly stacked against the side of a building. This sight is common in downtown Manhattan, as was the rustling I heard among the bags, which nevertheless made me start. Rats or mice, I thought, as I instinctively crossed the street to avoid them, but it was still light out, too early, it seemed to me, for these nocturnal creatures to be rummaging for food.
On the Modern Taste for Cast Iron
January 21, 2005
Walking down the streets of Soho these days, one rarely sees the light of day or feels the warmth of the sun, which is no small thing now that the low, yet constant, light of autumn has given way to the even lower and more fleeting light of winter. The cause of this unnatural darkness is scaffolding. On some streets in my neighborhood, so many buildings are being restored that the scaffolding forms a continuous overhang--a sort of ugly, makeshift arcade--stretching almost an entire block.

Hand practiced what he preached. A leading apostle of judicial restraint, Hand was reluctant to strike down the decisions of state and federal governments.

"Raphael: From Urbino to Rome" is now on exhibition at the National Gallery in London. It is a show I truly long to see not only because there are so few Raphaels in America that it is difficult to experience firsthand the oft-described transcendent force of "the immortal Raphael," as Vasari called him, but also because for a number of years now I have been working on a book in which the place of Raphael in the aesthetic imagination has become a central concern of my story.
On the Lifespan of Trees
December 03, 2004
For a long time now, whenever I've gone to Los Angeles, I've been alarmed by how impossibly tall the palm trees have grown. Whether I'm driving in Santa Monica or Venice, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, or Pasadena, the familiar sight of row after row of palm trees, their thin, fibrous trunks topped by rough-hewn, yet shimmering fronds stretching hundreds of feet into the broad, shadowless light, has come to fill me with gloom.

Want to help with JSF 2.0? Want to win a free copy of my new book? Write some XSLT for me!
We've been working on JSF 2.0 for over a year now and we're very
close to having solid specifications and implementations for our top two
issues: href="https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=293">Ajax
and href="https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=273">EZComp.
Of course, the implementation of both of these issues has required lots
of work on smaller issues. However, at least 80% of the features people
want to see in JSF 2.0 are not touched by Ajax or EZComp. To help us
prioritize the issues, I'm having a contest.
The first person to give me a tested and working XSLT stylesheet (and
instructions on how to use it) that styles an XML export of the java.net
issue tracker issues will be sent an autographed copy of my new book href="http://ridingthecrest.com/">Secrets of the Rock Star
Programmers. You'll have to paypal me the shipping and handling
cost. The winner can tell me how fast they want it and the costs will
be calculated from there.
The winning stylesheet must meet at least these requirements.
It has to be able to style href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/20080805-jsf-spec-public-issues.xml">this
xml file (and others like it).
The result of running the style sheet on the XML input
must be something I can easily print (HTML or PDF, for
The printed output should have exactly one java.net
issue tracker issue per page. I have some del.icio.us links
on how to do this in HTML at < href="http://delicious.com/edburns/pagebreak">http://delicious.com/edburns/pagebreak>
You get a special bonus if you can tell me how to easily and cheaply
print these on 5"x7" index cards.
I plan to use this printed output to do a scrum-like feature
prioritization exercise.
The contest will close next Tuesday, 12 August 2008 at 23:59 EDT.
Please send your entries to me via email to "ed dot burns at sun dot
com", and put "ACTION: XSLT CONTEST" as the subject.

An adapter is also planned to let any headphone from any company share the same features.

2 Key-ONLF negotiators abducted in Kenya
Two high-ranking members of the ONLF, who were peace negotiators between ONLF-and- Ethiopia have been abducted in Kenya by the Ethiopian security agents on Sunday afternoon(26/01/2014).
The Group issued yesterday a press release saying that "The Ethiopian security abducted Mr Sulub Ahmed and Ali Hussein, two senior ONLF leaders from Nairobi yesterday afternoon. The leaders, who were members of the ONLF negotiation team, were in Nairobi for a proposed third round of talks."http://onlf.org/?p=578
Amharic fluent speaker-Sulub Ahmed ,a former ONLF-head-quarter's commander and a member of Central Committee and Ali Hussein aka Ali-dhere ,a member of the 74 ONLF central Committee have been in Nairobi waiting to resume a peace-talk between Ethiopian government -and-ONLF which stalled 17 October last year.
The two men had no guards with them during their stay in Nairobi. and they went missing yesterday afternoon after going to the town centre. Their cell phones went dead in the early afternoon. Early reports indicate that the Ethiopian security who armed with pistols drugged them and took them to Moyale through Isiolo Route, crossing through the gaint Ogaden border .
Waiting the news of these two ONLF-negotiators ,it was cleared on Monday morning that they have fallen into the hands of the Ethiopian agents that operate outside of the Ethiopian borders.
ONLF stated in its press release that "In 1998, the Ethiopian Army killed three members of an ONLF delegation team and abducted two members, who were coming back to ONLF base after participating in bilateral negotiations with the Ethiopian government inside the Ogaden. Two years ago, the Ethiopia government assassins killed another senior leader in Nairobi too". The group mentioned further that "This is not the first time that the Ethiopian government has acted in an unethical and uncivilized manner by killing or abducting ONLF delegates engaged in peace talks".
Although ,Kenya accepted to broker the previous ONLF-Ethiopia peace talks, still for the last 3 years, Kenya territory has been a place for Ethiopian agents to kill, abduct and intimidate at will any one suspected of being ONLF-Sympathizer or a refugee who fled from Ogaden Region.
In its twitter account (@ONLFJWXO), the Liberation Front stated that "Last year an abduction attempt of #ONLF leaders by #Ethiopian Security from #Nairobi was thwarted by #Kenyan Police".
The abducting of the two-key negotiators is a blow to efforts to negotiate a political solution to the 3 decades-long war between Ethiopia and Ogaden region.
"This heinous act constitutes a breach of confidence in dealing with Ethiopia and will gravely hamper any further talks with Ethiopia. This cowardly act, will further invigorate the quest of the Somalis in Ogaden for freedom",said Monday's ONLF-foreign press Release.
Although the website-run by Ethiopian-appointed Ogaden administration already claimed the responsibility for the abduction of ONLF-negotiators ,the Ethiopian government remains tight lipped over the "abduction" of 2 negotiators and the Kenyan government did not comment on this fresh abduction.

Good sentence
The very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.
I saw the very good sentence on the ICIBA web. At some moment, i really dampen and not happy, but just 5-10 minutes, i try my best to rethink and recover on the normal condition.
Everytime i met this problem, i know it's the chance that it can let me find the lack of respect by myself, and also it can give me improvement, i will never make this mistake.
I trust some of people's beginning point is zero, we need practice and work hard, accept defeat and amend it, in the end of is good result, maybe 60-100 score, it's depend on individual effort.
So work hard!
yes i agree with u
I think it's as simple as that: "Don't take life tooooo seriously, neither people and certainly not their words...not even your own or your thoughts and finaly not even yourself..." - facts, if you even dare to call them so, should only be acknowledged in retrospect ...it's like the old saying "history ist written by the victors" or in this case "your life's history will only show the facts that in a way succeeded to linger on...;P"
...finaly all you can do is to strive for your goals as hard as you can. Try to give your best... to prove those wrong IN THE END who try to discourage you...if you give it all you have, that sense of dedication makes you worth one in a million... and proves that YOU'RE the winner
...in the end all we have is time...and you at least didn't wast it on petty thought about your so called insufficiencies, stated by those who might better care more about their own hidden coplexes and insufficiencies then discourage others...
..Take in all that may help you on your way, and shrug those "facts" off as mere gossip ...they shall not hold YOU back;P
thanks, so many new word for me , i check and try my best to know it. I agree your opinion, i can't express very good, but in fact, you said that is also i want to be and need do it all the time.

Note: Los Mets Jerseys
Over at his blog for the Daily News, Adam Rubin reports, in honor of "Fiesta Latina" taking place at Shea Stadium on Friday, the Mets will don jerseys with "Los Mets" across their chest during their game against the Dodgers.
For more on the event, head on over to Rubin's blog.
…added to by Matthew Cerrone…
…this bugs me…not for any other reason than the name on the team's jersey
isn't The Mets…it's just Mets…and Los Mets is
The Mets…it just makes no sense…i could honestly care less that the
organization wants to do a special uniform here and there, most likely for
additional sales…at this point, they have so many uniforms i can't keep track
anyway…and i'm fine with it…again, i'd rather 100 uniforms and a world series
ring then one uniform and last place…my point is that i am far more concerned
with how they play, then i am with what they wear…but don't mess with the team's
name…that's just wrong…
…added to by Regis Courtemanche…
…i like the throwback uniforms when they wear them, but to come
up with a new novelty uniform doesn't make sense to me either…what's
next, subway will have the team sport jerseys with pictures of jared on
the back…i'm obviously exaggerating, but on a uniform that the
players have worked so hard to earn, i never like to see the team
reflect any kind of sponsorship on them…

Bliss Institute Poll: Ohio Voters Show Mixed Support for Ballot Initiatives
Akron, Ohio, Oct. 26, 2005 — With less than two weeks remaining until the Nov. 8 election, a new survey released by The University of Akron Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics finds mixed support for Ohio's 2005 ballot initiatives.
The poll is part of a study titled "The 2005 Ohio Ballot Initiatives: Public Opinion on Issues 1-5," conducted by the university's Survey Research Center. The complete report can be found online at www.uakron.edu/bliss/research.php.
"Ballot initiatives have long been an important part of Ohio politics, especially amendments to the state constitution," says Dr. John C. Green, Bliss Institute director and one of the poll's directors. "However, having five constitutional amendments on the ballot in an off-year election is unusual."
The major findings of the survey include:
• Issue 1 — the $2 billion bond issue titled "Jobs for Ohio" — appears likely to pass if present conditions hold. It was supported by three-fifths of likely voters.
• Similar evidence suggests that Issue 2, one of the "Reform Ohio Now" proposals on early voting, also seems likely to win approval barring a major change. It also was backed by more than three-fifths of likely voters.
• The outcome on the other three ballot issues is less certain. Issue 3, a campaign finance measure, appears to be slightly ahead among Ohioans who have heard or read about it. But this measure could draw on a reservoir of support from the public, with better than three-fifths among likely voters. Issue 4, on a new redistricting commission, and Issue 5, on a state election board, have majority support among voters who have heard about them. But overall, the public is skeptical of these measures, which are backed by only two-fifths of likely voters.
"These findings must be viewed with caution," Green says, "because voter turnout in off-year elections is so difficult to predict. The last two weeks of the campaign could well make the difference for all these measures."
The survey found that 38 percent of the public regarded the ballot measures as a strong motivation to turn out and vote in the fall. This figure is equal to the average turnout among registered voters in past off-year elections with ballot measures (2003, 2001 and 1999).
Relatively few Ohioans had heard or read about the 2005 ballot measures, ranging from 30 percent for Issue 2 (early voting) to 16 percent for Issue 5 (state election board). In some cases, there was a substantial difference between those who were aware of the measures and the general public.
"Making citizens aware of these measures is the first step in influencing their votes," Green says, "and the level of awareness is low on all these measures."
The survey also found support for the Tax Expenditure Limitation proposed by Citizens for Tax Reform, which might be on the ballot in fall 2006. Although just one-tenth of the public has heard or read about the proposal, more than two-thirds support the idea.
Ohioans overwhelmingly backed the idea of voting on constitutional amendments, with more than four-fifths agreeing with the statement that "amendments are a good idea because voters should have a voice in these questions."
This report is based on a survey of a random sample of Ohio citizens interviewed by telephone between Sept. 28 and Oct. 20, 2005, at The University of Akron Survey Research Center. The number of respondents was 1,076, and the margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points. The survey is part of a broader study of ballot initiatives in Ohio politics.

Above: Samuel Menashe
Samuel Menashe is the first recipient of the Neglected Masters Prize established by The Poetry Foundation, and this volume is published in conjunction with that award. Born in New York City in 1925, Menashe has practiced his art of "compression and crystallization" (in Derek Mahon's phrase) in poems that are brief in form but startlingly wide-ranging and profound in their engagement with ultimate questions. Dana Gioia has written: "Menashe is essentially a religious poet, though one without an orthodox creed. Nearly every poem he has ever published radiates a heightened religious awareness." Intensely musical and rigorously constructed, Menashe's poetry stands apart in its solitary meditative power. But it is equally a poetry of the everyday, suffused, in the words of Christopher Ricks, with "the courage of comedy, flanked by the respect of innocence." The humblest of objects, the minutest of natural forms here become powerfully suggestive, and even the shortest of the poems are spacious in the perspectives they open.
Listen to an interview with Samuel Menashe on NPR's All Things Considered.

The hayloft was in deep shadow, and pushed back in. Guy licked his lips at the breath-taking view of Veronicas parted legs showing the soft, juicy forced ass fuck of his desire. The doors into the station just opened. Everything, your voice, your eyes, your hands, even the smell of your skin is like an intoxicant to rape in cinema.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
After serving on the Price City Council for over nine years, Councilmember Jeanne McEvoy announced her resignation to the council last week.
"It is with great regret that I must announce that I will be stepping down from my position as Price City Council Member," said McEvoy in a letter to fellow council members dated Aug. 1. "It has been an honor and privilege to serve the employees, citizens and visitors of Price City alongside each of you."
McEvoy announced that she would be stepping down to move out to South Carolina. She began the near 40-hour road trip to her new home with her husband, Grady, on Monday.
"We're going to be leaving a great deal of things behind here including family and many friends," McEvoy said after the council meeting on Wednesday.
McEvoy began serving on the city council in May 2003 until her final city council meeting on Wednesday evening. She said it was at the suggestion of a neighbor, Perry Fry, that began her quest in serving the community in her role as a councilmember.
"I never thought it would last this long," McEvoy said of serving on the city council.
Price City Attorney Nick Sampinos said the city will fill the vacancy on the council within the next 30 days. He cited a statue, 20A-1-510, which concerns midterm vacancies in municipal offices. The statue calls for the city to appoint a registered voter who meets the qualifications for office and requires the city to give at least two weeks notice before filling the vacancy from a list of submitted applications.
McEvoy arrived in Price in 1980 finding work with Carbon School District as a Resource and Special Education teacher. Before the couple married, Grady purchased a home at 191 North 100 West in 1994. Over the years they completely remodeled the inside and outside of the home.
"It was a complete dump when he bought it years ago," McEvoy said. The couple worked hard to keep the look of the home, which is over 100 years old, as authentic with the times as they could.
Now in the front of a well kept lawn and garden sits a for sale sign. While Jeanne has left her position and will be living in South Carolina full time, Grady will be returning to Price to fulfill the rest of his contract at USU Eastern and work on getting the house sold.
Price City Mayor Joe Piccolo said the council would miss McEvoy's presence citing the work she has put in towards helping the Price City community.
"It's been a real pleasure to work with you," said Piccolo. "We will miss you sitting behind this bench."
Throughout the long process of getting ready for the move, McEvoy said she spent a lot of time looking back at her time serving on the city council. She enjoyed conversing with members of the public about city workings and spent many hours working on causes she believes in. One cause McEvoy pushed the city council to support was the Carbon County Green Team. Over the past two years, McEvoy and the rest of the Green Team worked towards getting a number of small trailers placed around the city to provide residents an opportunity to recycle materials locally. With McEvoy stepping down from her position with the Green Team, Kris Kiahtipes will take over her duties as the head of the Green Team.
While the move to South Carolina has been a long and difficult process to go through, McEvoy said she is looking forward to the new adventures she and Grady will be able to experience. Along with seeing and visiting new places, McEvoy said she is anxious to spend time with her grandchildren and focus upon the many different hobbies in her life including gardening, sewing, working on photo books and spending time in the outdoors.
After spending over 30 years in Price, including over nine serving on the city council, McEvoy said she enjoyed having a better understanding of how governments works for a smaller community and will always cherish the time and the people she met during her time in Price.
"I'm leaving with a wealth of good memories and I'll miss the friendliness of the people in the area," she said.

I've noticed there's been a number of stories in the news lately about working and salary. Here's another, this time from the Wall Street Journal, who asks if wage inequality is worsening.
About 11% of income (and that's not counting capital gains) went to the best-off 0.5% of Americans in 2002; 25 years earlier, they got 5.25%… Workers at the 90th percentile (those who earn more than 90% of all workers) earned 4.5 times as much as those in the 10th percentile in 2004; 25 years earlier, they were earning 3.5 times as much…
According to these statistics and more presented in the article, the highest paid have pulled away from those paid in the middle of the range, who have in turned pulled away from those at the bottom.
I had written some thoughts on the rise of a "permanent" ruling class, but there is so much discussion to be had on what's going on in governmental philosophy at the moment that I wouldn't — and wouldn't want to — give it justice here, on a mostly non-political website.

Portland Actors Ensemble – Anthony and Cleopatra 1
The Portland Actors Ensemble is solid in their respect for Shakespeare. In 1970 they did their first Shakespeare in the Park free performance with As You Like It in Laurelhurst Park. Their mission statement: "To bring financially accessible classical theater to Portland communities in a nontraditional environment." Since then many things have changed. At least a couple of things haven't. This year it is Antony and Cleopatra.

Police FC cruises to quarter final
RWANDA'S POLICE FC booked a place in the quarter finals of the 2014 CecafaKagame Cup tournament after thrashing defending champions Vital'O 3-1 on Monday at Kigali Regional stadium.
Goals from Jerome Sina, Jacques Tuyisenge and Jimmy Mbaraga were enough to earn a quarter final slot for the Law and Order enforcers who are making their debut in the regional club tournament.
Entertaining Sina scored a 30th minute strike following a good exchange from Jacques Tuyisenge to slot a fantastic strike past former SC Kiyovu goalie Andre Mazimpaka who was recently signed by Vital'O.
Ten minutes later, a poor goal keeping blunder gifted Vital'O with an equalizer off Shaban Hussein's header.
Impressive striker Jacques Tuyisenge doubled the lead in the 44th minute when he scored a brilliant header from Peter Kagabo's corner to go into recess with an upper hand.
Coach Andre CassaMbungo came recharged in the second half and continued from where they had stopped with Jimmy Mbaraga heading a stunning 69th minute from MwemereGirinshuti's free kick to guarantee Police a place in the last eight with six points in two matches played in Group C.
Vital'O would have cancelled out the lead except for new signing striker LauditMavugo who wasted two clear chances in the dying minute of the game when his double efforts went far wide the goal post.
Police beat Sudanese giants El Merriekh 1-0 in their opening game at Amahoro stadium on August 9.
Still in Group C, El Merreikh registered a 4-0 win to dump Somalia's Banadir Fc out of the tournament. Allan Wanga, Ahmed Elbasha, Serge Wawa and Mohamed Trorie scored all the crucial goals past a disjointed Banadir of Somalia to rekindle their worn hopes of advancing in the competitions.
Banadir who are locked at the bottom of the standings, have now conceded nine goals in two matches following a 1-5 loss to Vital 'O' in the opening match.
A win for El Merreikh in Friday's tough match against Vital'O will guarantee them a place in the quarters. Both Vital'O and El Merriekh are tied on three points but the latter have a better goal difference.
In Group B, hopes of GorMahia progressing to the next round suffered a huge blow after they lost their second game of the tournament.
The new Harambee Stars coach Scot Bobby Williamson's side conceded 1-0 to Burundian Atletico courtesy of a brilliant shot from Alexis KitengeHakizimanawho beat an offside trap to slot a sharp ball past deserted goal keeper JerimOnyango.
The Kenyan champions would have killed off the game had their strikers converted several of the goal scoring opportunities they got.
Daniel 'Mzee' Sserunkuma and Timothy Otieno missed close range chances two times in the both halves as Onyango was made several reflex saves from rampant Burundians led by whizkidTresorAkimana who was decorated man of the match.
GorMahia who lost the opening game 1-2 against Uganda's KCCA lie bottom of the standings with no point and find themselves with an uphill task of ensuring a must win in their two remaining fixtures against Djibouti's Telecom and three-time winners APR FC to stand a chance of progressing to the knock-out round.
A win for Atletico means that four teams now are tied on three points with two games besides APR FC which has played a game less.Telecom leads the group on goals scored followed by APR FC, KCCA and Atletico FC.
On Tuesday, only two matches from Group A and B will be played again at Kigali Regional Stadium. Zanzibar's KMKM face Ethiopia's Adama City at 3pm whilst Tanzania's Azam FC takes on South Sudan's Atlabara later at 5pm.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Keeping your skin healthy and cancer free is the goal of health leaders around the US and it's especially talked about during the summer months when people spend more time outside and those sun rays are pouring down.
"Definitely don't think that the sun is something harmless," says Dr. Catherine Pakasakelariou, dermatologist at UAMS . "It is good for us, we do produce Vitamin D from it but know that it is a double edge sword, you definitely have to be on the safe side."
Basal cell carcinoma and Squamous cell carcinoma are the most common forms of skin cancer and are collectively referred to as non-melanoma skin cancers.
While not the most common, melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer and the rates
of melanoma have been increasing for at least the last 30 years.
Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in young adults 25-29 years
old. The risk is rising faster in women 15-29 years old, possibly due to indoor tanning use.
According to statistics, an American dies of melanoma almost every hour. If recognized and treated early, there is a 98% survival rate, but if it is not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body, the survival
rate decreases to 16-62%.
Melanoma can strike anyone but there is an increased risk in people who have red or blonde hair, blue or green eyes, have more than 50 moles, have relatives with melanoma, and/or a previous diagnosis of melanoma or nonmelanoma
skin cancer.
Dr. Pakasakelariou recommends that if you are going to be out in the sun for any length of time, you should consider taking the following precautions:
-Wear sunscreen daily with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply frequently throughout the day (every 2 hours). At least 2 oz or one "shot glass" of sunscreen is required to cover all exposed skin.
-Wear protective clothing including long sleeves, pants, and wide brimmed hats.
-Seek shade as often as possible, especially between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The Real Gulf War Blunder
The problem wasn't that Barry McCaffrey kept on fighting -- it was that we stopped fighting too soon
Jun 5, 2000, Vol. 5, No. 36 • By MACKUBIN THOMAS OWENS
Seymour Hersh's allegation in the May 22 New Yorker that then-Major General Barry McCaffrey unleashed his 24th Infantry Division in an unnecessary attack that mercilessly pummeled retreating Iraqi soldiers two days after the Gulf War cease-fire in 1991 has created the usual furor. Even though the U.S. Army investigated the charges against Gen. McCaffrey years ago, the New York Times has called for an independent review, claiming that "the military services have a poor record of holding their own members accountable for misconduct, especially top officers."
On one level, the Hersh-McCaffrey contretemps is much ado about nothing. As the Clintons and their spinners would say, it is old news. But if we can get past the typical press treatment of the issue as a clash of stereotypes, the "'no-holds-barred' investigative reporter vs. the ambitious 'hard-charging' general," the story reveals some important truths about the nature of war and the difficulties of waging it in a democratic republic.
The basic facts are these. On March 2, 1991, two days after the Gulf War cease-fire, elements of the 24th Infantry Division (Mechanized) trapped an Iraqi column that had blundered into it near Rumaila, about 50 miles south of Al Qurnah on the Euphrates River. In an intense but one-sided fight, the division destroyed 346 Iraqi armored vehicles including 30 T-72 tanks. McCaffrey's critics claim that he provoked the fight and then used force far in excess of what was necessary. McCaffrey and his defenders reply that it was the Iraqis who provoked the clash and that the response of the 24th Infantry Division was fully in accordance with existing cease-fire guidelines.
To understand McCaffrey's actions at Rumaila, it is necessary to grasp the fact that the foremost military objective of the ground war was the destruction of the three divisions of Saddam's Republican Guard. The plan for the Allied ground attack called for the Marines and other Allied forces to fix the Iraqi forces south of Kuwait City while the VII and XVIII Airborne Corps executed a Kesselschlacht, a strategic envelopment from the west toward Basra. The purpose of this maneuver was to trap the main Iraqi forces, especially the Republican Guard, before they could escape across the Euphrates.
But the Marine attack was too successful. The offensive against Kuwait City drove the Iraqis out of their defenses rather than fixing them in place. The attack of the VII Corps, on the other hand, took too long to develop. Still, bold action on the part of two divisions of the XVIII Airborne Corps, McCaffrey's 24th Division and the 101st Air Assault Division, placed them in position to prevent the escape of many Republican Guard units.
That is the background for the situation Gen. McCaffrey found himself in on March 2. But the blame for the events of that day, if any blame is to be assigned, belongs to McCaffrey's superiors.
On February 28, General Colin Powell, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, without any clear sense of the disposition of Iraqi and American forces along the Euphrates, suddenly advised President Bush that it was appropriate to announce a cease-fire. Why? There were two reasons, neither of them sound.
Powell's principal motivation for suddenly terminating the war was to dispel the impression, created by news reports describing air attacks on retreating Iraqis along the so-called highway of death, that Allied forces were "piling on." The second reason, which is almost too embarrassing to mention, was that Powell and other Bush advisers believed it would be nice to end the war after 100 hours. One hundred seemed a good round number for the history books.
Powell did not bother to inform either the president or the secretary of defense that the central military mission -- destruction of the Republican Guard -- had not yet been accomplished. Given that this was the primary military objective of the ground offensive, this was a rather startling omission on Powell's part. After all, the political goals of the war as laid down by President Bush and the other coalition leaders -- the expulsion of the Iraqis from Kuwait and the destruction of Saddam Hussein's power base in Iraq -- required the destruction of the Republican Guard, upon which Saddam's power was thought to rest. When they made the decision to call the cease-fire, President Bush and Secretary Cheney were under the mis-apprehension that this publicly announced goal had indeed been achieved.
Powell's hasty decision to call a cease-fire before American forces had completed their mission was bound to create confusion and ambiguity for U.S. field commanders, who right up until the moment they heard of the cease-fire were scrambling to accomplish their assigned task. On February 28, U.S. forces, including McCaffrey's division, were poised to "close the gate" on the Republican Guard. They were startled, and angered, when the order came to halt the ground war. To those on the front lines, like McCaffrey, the order seemed disastrously premature, driven not by politico-military considerations -- the objective of destroying the Republican Guard -- but by Powell's public relations concerns. In fact, President Bush had originally planned to allow his theater commander, General Norman Schwarzkopf, to determine the timing of the war's end, on the sensible assumption that Gen. Schwarzkopf would be in the best position to judge when the military mission had been accomplished. Powell's short-circuiting of this process was a profound error.
No soldier denies that in the American system of government, political considerations trump military ones. Nor do soldiers doubt that the civilian leadership has the authority under the Constitution to make decisions regarding war and peace. Indeed, the idea that once the fighting begins, the politicians stand aside and let the generals take the lead is at odds not only with American republican theory of government, but also with Clausewitz's subordination of war to policy.
But by law, the military leadership is obligated to provide the civil authorities with the best possible military advice. The record indicates that Gen. Powell, who was responsible for providing this military advice to President Bush, recommended an end to hostilities based not on military considerations, but on political ones.
It seems clear that to have fulfilled his statutory obligations, Gen. Powell should have asked his field commanders if the military objective of the war had been achieved: Had the Republican Guard been destroyed? If the answer was no, he should have recommended that the ground war continue. Had the president rejected his advice, Powell still would have done his duty while reflecting the view of his field commanders closest to the action.
But Powell never consulted the field commanders, who would have told him that the Republican Guard had not been destroyed. Instead, he presented them with a fait accompli. Given the deterioration of the U.S. position in the Gulf since the war, Powell's failure to render his best military advice ranks as a failure of major proportions.
McCaffrey was in important respects the victim of Powell's error, and also the victim of the usual problems of warfare: bad information, bad luck, what Clausewitz called the "fog of uncertainty" in war, and that ineffable but often decisive factor, "friction." Once the cease-fire had been called, one of McCaffrey's goals was to prevent the defeated Iraqis from returning to recover the weapons and equipment they had abandoned and to ensure that they did not position artillery where it could threaten U.S. forces. McCaffrey interpreted the cease-fire liberally: The shooting was to stop, but American units were not precluded from moving around. (Other American commanders, especially in the neighboring VII Corps, did not believe additional movement was authorized once the cease-fire went into effect.) Adding to the confusion, McCaffrey did not know that the Hammar causeway, leading from Rumaila north to the Euphrates, was one of the escape routes the Iraqis might choose. He thought the causeway had been destroyed by allied air attacks.
Iraqi forces were even more in the dark about the disposition of American troops. They simply blundered into McCaffrey's division astride the Hammar causeway. In a perfect world characterized by perfect information, the clash at Rumaila would have been avoided, or at least stopped soon after it broke out. But friction and uncertainty conspire to ensure that commanders rarely operate in such an environment. Looking back with twenty-twenty hindsight, McCaffrey acknowledged after the war that the Iraqis were probably not looking for a fight. They "either did not know we were there or thought they could drive through us under terms of the cease-fire agreement." But when the Rumaila fight erupted, Iraqi intentions were unclear.
In the confusion of a clash such as that at Rumaila, any commander worth his salt errs on the side of "too much" force rather than too little. At the tactical and operational level of war, military necessity trumps proportionality every time.
McCaffrey's actions at Rumaila on March 2, 1991, must be examined in light of what he and other commanders thought at the time, not what we know now in retrospect. This means remembering that our perceptions of the Iraqi army were far different in 1990-91 from what they are today.
As the United States assembled a coalition and built up forces in the wake of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, there was great trepidation. No one doubted that a U.S.-led coalition would prevail eventually, but many believed the cost would be high. After all, the Iraqi army had acquitted itself well during an eight-year war with Iran.
Against the Iranians, the Iraqi army had perfected defensive tactics that were responsible for inflicting massive casualties on the attackers. Employing extensive minefields and other obstacles, the Iraqis lured Iranian formations into killing zones where they destroyed them with massed artillery fires and armored counterattacks. Finally, in April 1988, the Iraqis launched their Tawakalna Ala Allah offensive, a masterful campaign which, in five major battles over four months, drove the Iranians off the Al Fao peninsula. This campaign is still considered by some to be a masterpiece of operational art.
The pessimism that prevailed in 1990 was reflected in the views of many highly respected defense analysts. For example, Edward Luttwak predicted that the Iraqis would force the United States into the sort of war of attrition the Iraqis had fought against the Iranians and that the high-tech U.S. military would bog down in the desert. Additionally, there was great concern that Iraq would use chemical weapons against the United States and its allies.
At the foundation of Hersh's journalistic attack on McCaffrey, then, is a fundamental neglect of the way things looked at the time. Based on the record of the Iran-Iraq War, American leaders, both civilian and military, expected that the Iraqis would put up a stiff resistance. The intention of U.S. military commanders was to knock the Iraqis down and not permit them to get up. The last thing we wanted was a "fair fight." It is a lot easier in hindsight to say that Gen. McCaffrey should have had less trepidation and more sympathy when confronting an Iraqi force of uncertain intentions.
The McCaffrey affair calls to mind a passage from Field Marshall Sir William Slim's charming memoir of the inter-war period, Unofficial History. "The soldier," wrote Slim,
always knows that everything he does . . . will be scrutinized by two classes of critics -- by the Government which employs him and by the enemies of that Government. As far as the Government is concerned, he is a little Admiral Jellicoe and this his tiny battle of Jutland. He has to make a vital decision on incomplete information in a matter of seconds, and afterwards the experts can sit down at leisure, with all the facts before them, and argue about what he might, could, or should have done. Lucky the soldier if, as in Jellicoe's case, the tactical experts decide after twenty years' profound consideration that what he did in three minutes was right. As for the enemies of the Government, it does not much matter what he has done. They will twist, misinterpret, falsify, or invent any fact as evidence that he is an inhuman monster wallowing in innocent blood.
McCaffrey is surely the victim of this latter kind of scrutiny. And the tragic irony is that the true blunderers at the end of the Gulf War, the ones who produced both the confusion that trapped McCaffrey and the entirely unsatisfactory conclusion of the war, will continue to be unacknowledged.

Our Meal Plan makes it easier than ever to eat Clean
One aspect of the Clean Program that can be challenging for some is meal planning. As people get started on Clean, the most pressing question is: "What can I eat?"
You can download the Clean Program Meal Plan here >>
We've put together a Sample Meal Plan as a way to show you what 21 days of Clean eating—and cooking—can look like. We gathered lots of recipes, some of our own Clean favorites as well as many others from healthy food blogs to bring you TONS of options! This Meal Plan includes a pre-cleanse menu, meals for vegetarians and meat eaters, shakes, soups, snacks, drinks and more. It's jam-packed with recipes!
Feel free to make this meal plan work for your own personal lifestyle and schedule. If you'd like, you can follow the meal plan exactly as written, or if this seems like too much, pick and choose your favorite recipes to make this totally customized. For example: make larger portions so you can stretch the meals over a few days or mix and match the recipes different from how they are here.
I would like to give a shout out to the Clean Team members that helped make this project happen. Jessi for her support and tireless calculations, Robert for his keen editing eye, Jenny for her rock star recipes and everyone else who helped with brainstorming, editing, format, and general cheerleading!
We hope this resource will make your cleanse even more tasty, enjoyable and easy. Happy Clean eating, and Bon Appetit!

My husband and I found ourselves with two hours of uninterrupted time while our son was taking a class this morning. We had somewhere to be before and after, and we were already dressed and out of the house, so we wandered over to a local coffee shop. As we were waiting for our orders, we listened to the piped-in music.
Husband: (grimacing as the song played) I hate stuff like this.
Me: But it's from the '80s! The Cutting Crew. "One for the Mockingbird." It's not like it's one of those New Millennium Bands With Whiny Lead Singers that you always complain about. And it isn't rap, so...?
Husband: (still grimacing) I would've flipped the station on this.
Me: Even back then?
Husband: Oh, yeah. Back then. And now.
Me: (shrugging) Whatever.
So, we talked some more and drank our coffees--my husband having ordered "a small black decaf" and I having ordered "a large mocha-caramel latte thing" (after making sure it was fully caffeinated and made with extra chocolate syrup and whipped cream). We finished and we still had an hour before we needed to grab our son.
My husband, clearly sick of defending his musical preferences, said, "I've got an antique shop I want to take you to. It's got this cool Colt and a really amazing unmarked Derringer." (These are weapons, by the way. Civil War era guns. Objects that never fails to excite my history-teaching spouse. I, by contrast, prefer to look at antique items like, oh...teapots and calligraphy sets.) "And," he added enthusiastically, "the music there is great."
I raised my eyebrows at this, but we went. And the Colt, the Derringer and even the Winchester (a rifle, but I always think of those boys on the show "Supernatural" :-) were to my husband's liking. The music, this moody 1950s stuff (not the fun, boppy songs I associate with beach movies; not Buddy Holly or Elvis), was most decidedly NOT to my liking.
Husband: What did you think?
Me: (wincing) About the guns?
Husband: (rolling his eyes) About the music.
Me: Oh. I would've flipped the station.
Yeah. Been married 15 years. It's good we have other things in common.

PORT LEYDEN The town of Lyonsdale once again has a supervisor.
The Town Council on Friday appointed Philip A. Boardman Sr. to the post through the end of the year, according to Town Clerk Louise A. Gozalkowski.
He was one of a few applicants for the open position.
The job will still be up for election in November, so Mr. Boardman will need to successfully run for election to keep it next year.
The post has been vacant since early March, when second-year Supervisor Marylou Hawk stepped down, citing time constraints.
The Town Council also recently appointed John Smith to fill another vacancy on the five-member board.

By Niraj Warikoo for The Detroit Free Press
Detroit, MI -- Area Arab-Americans and others are mourning the sudden death of Anthony Shadid, the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning reporter for the New York Times who died Thursday in Syria after an asthma attack.
Shadid, 43, was a foreign correspondent who wrote about the Middle East and was widely praised for his reporting and writing. He was known for humanizing the lives of ordinary people caught up in violent conflicts.
The grandson of Lebanese immigrants, Shadid learned Arabic as an adult and once interned at the Washington, D.C.-based American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), the leading civil rights group for Arab-Americans, before becoming a journalist.
Today, ADC's internship program is named after him.
"It's a huge loss, not just for Arab-Americans, but for journalists," said Abed Ayoub, of Dearborn, the national director of ADC. "He embodied what journalists should be."
Warren David, of Northville and the president of ADC, said Shadid "was one of our most valuable community members, a former intern, and the namesake of our current internship program."
David added that "his work and expertise as an Arab American journalist will be sadly missed."
The Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, or ACCESS, in Dearborn, Mich., called his death "a tragic loss of an excellent journalist."
Linda Sarsour, a coordinator with the Dearborn-based National Network for Arab American Communities, said she was "so heartbroken" and had "a striking pain inside" after hearing about Shadid's death.
The Network of Arab-American Professionals in New York City was to honor Shadid in two weeks.
In addition to winning two Pulitzer Prizes, which is rare, Shadid received other awards and was honored at the annual banquet of ADC in 2004.
Shadid reportedly died while he and a photographer were leaving Syria for Turkey. They had entered Syria a week ago to cover the escalating violence in a place where journalists are often targeted.
Shadid's father told the Associated Press that his son suffered an asthma attack set off by allergies from horses that guides were using.
"He was walking to the border because it was too dangerous to ride in the car," the father told the Associated Press. "He was walking behind some horses -- he's more allergic to those than anything else -- and he had an asthma attack."
The New York Times wrote that: "Short of breath, Mr. Shadid leaned against a rock with both hands."
Photographer Tyler Hicks told the Times: "I stood next to him and asked if he was O.K., and then he collapsed."
In an interview last month in Mother Jones, Shadid said: "I don't think there's any story worth dying for, but I do think there are stories worth taking risks for."
Shadid, a Lebanese-American Christian, grew up in Oklahoma. He was set to release a memoir called "House of Stone," about an ancient estate built by his great-grandfather in Lebanon.
Before working for the New York Times, Shadid wrote for the Washington Post and the Boston Globe. While reporting in Ramallah for the Globe in 2002, he was once shot at and wounded.
In 2004, he won his first Pulitzer Prize for his work at the Washington Post covering the Iraq war.
During the war, some conservatives criticized Shadid for his stories, which painted vivid portraits of the struggles of Iraqi civilians, according to a 2004 article in American Journalism Review. But he was widely praised by others and highly respected by journalists around the world.
In his 2004 Pulitzer award, Shadid was cited "for his extraordinary ability to capture, at personal peril, the voices and emotions of Iraqis as their country was invaded, their leader toppled and their way of life upended."

In news that should excite all fans of great comedy, the (actually) universally beloved Michael J. Fox will be guest-starring on an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Hell. Yes. Here's what Fox has to say about it:
"Larry moves to New York and takes the apartment below ours." The Curb subplot finds Larry believing that "I'm being symptomatic just to annoy him — a whole passive-aggressive thing. He's complaining because I'm shuffling and making noise upstairs. It's very funny."
Well, I'm pretty excited about this. And apparently Michael J. Fox's onscreen dad on "Family Ties" is making a guest appearance in a different episode as Larry's dermatologist. Listen, HBO – since the world might be ending on Saturday, why not just show these episodes now? (TV Guide)

I've been to London twice and found it a pleasant happy place but both times it was August/September and I have the feeling that after the Autumn/Winter there is a positive rebound of attitude which I was seeing. The beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds and gently warming sun is my memory of London. Some say it's different but that's my experience. Spring is coming Christian, spring is coming.

The Get Rich Slowly discussion forums generate a lot of great conversations in which readers do their best to help each other. Alas, I don't get a chance to stop by as much as I'd like. Fortunately, forum administrator Jericho Hill has agreed to highlight interesting discussions now-and-then. This week, he recommends:
- Amyrobynne has both debt to pay down and a goal to renovate her home. She asks, with those competing goals, how do you budget for a home improvements?
- Jarvis wants to invest in mutual funds but doesn't quite feel comfortable. His cousins say to invest in real estate. The GRS community chimes in, mostly in favor of index funds for this new investor.
- Shaun wonders what to do when there's nothing left to talk about. How do you deal with communication trouble with a spouse? How can you communicate with someone who doesn't have many opinions?
Meanwhile, I've enjoyed the following articles from around the web:
Lazy Man recently asked, "Should you put a price on your health?" He does a great job of breaking down the components of this question. What is healthy? How much health is worth how much money? What about the law of diminishing returns? Like Lazy Man, I've recently realized that I am willing to spend money on health, but it's often difficult to know where to draw the line. Improved nutrition is good. But is spending $300 on a heart-rate monitor a justifiable expense?
Bloomberg reports that one-third of U.S. homeowners who bought in the past five years now owe more on their mortgages than their properties are worth. It's easy to get down on people for getting greedy during the housing bubble, but the truth is many average folks were just shopping for a place to live. Now a large number of these folks find themselves in trouble.
Finally, Flexo at Consumerism Commentary polled his readers: Is finding $6,000 in saved expenses better than a raise? I'd take the $6,000 in savings because that money comes after taxes. As Flexo notes, you'd need a raise of about $10,000 to equal $6,000 in saved expenses. This is why frugality is so powerful. Roughly speaking, every dollar you save in spending is like two dollars you've earned. (Or at least $1.50.)
GRS is committed to helping our readers save and achieve their financial goals. Savings interest rates may be low, but that is all the more reason to shop for the best rate. Find the highest savings interest rates and CD rates from Synchrony Bank, Ally Bank, GE Capital Bank, and more.
