The current water situation for Kologo, a community within the Kassena Nankana East district, in the Upper East region has largely been improved with a boost in water facilities to ease access to potable water for the inhabitants.
The Navrongo Health Research Centre (NHRC) has instituted a provident fund for its staff into which the authorities pay 40 Ghana Cedis per staff per month to give the workers some financial cushioning at their retirement. In addition, the Centre has put in place a 200,000 Ghana Cedi staff revolving loan fund for the staff with very low interest rates ranging from 5% to 10%.
Dr Stanislaus Alu Kandingdi, Kassena East Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has expressed worry at the continuous massive failure of candidates in the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) within the municipality.

Christopher Banys started Banys, P.C. with one goal in mind: providing intelligent, effective, advocacy to help his clients achieve justice. Whether he's helping an inventor protect her invention in a complex patent-infringement case, representing a class of employees wrongfully denied their wages, helping a small business with trademark issues, helping the victim of a serious personal injury get the help he needs to pay his medical bills and rebuild his life, or working free of charge to help a homeless family stay in emergency shelter, Mr. Banys brings his passion for justice to every client, in every case.
This dedication to helping his clients has earned Mr. Banys recognition from his peers and the press. Indeed, the National Trial Lawyers Association named Mr. Banys among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in 2012-2015. The Recorder named Mr. Banys a "Lawyer On The Fast Track" in 2012, one of just 50 lawyers in California to receive that honor.

Mr. Banys' commitment to justice includes lending a hand to those in need who cannot afford legal help, earning him pro bono awards including: An Equal Justice America fellowship; several law firm awards, including pro bono associate of the year; the Legal Services for Children's 2008 Pro Bono Advocate Award; and a Certificate of Appreciation from the Northern District of California's Silicon Valley Pro Bono Project in 2011.
Mr. Banys has become well-known for helping inventors stand up to patent infringers, regardless of their size, and has served as lead trial lawyer in scores of patent-infringement cases around the country. As a result of his knowledge and reputation, Mr. Banys was invited to present at the first international Cloud Law Summit, debated in the U.S. Senate and submitted congressional testimony on the issue of patent reform.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (October 27, 2012)--A jury has decided that a Syracuse, N.Y., doctor isn't to blame for an operating-room mishap that caused a pregnant woman to catch fire during a cesarean section delivery.
Kira Reed suffered a 7-inch-long burn on her side two years ago when an alcohol-based antiseptic that had been applied to her skin was accidentally ignited by a medical device.
The fire was put out quickly and her baby was fine, but she sued over the injury.
Reed reached an out-of-court settlement with the hospital, but The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports that a jury rejected a negligence claim this week against obstetrician Stephen Brown.
Brown's lawyer says the jury's decision was appropriate.
Surgical fires are rare, but do happen occasionally when hot devices touch disinfectant solutions before the alcohol has a chance to evaporate.

I was just meal planning for the week and thinking to myself: hmm I wonder what I can make – burgers for him, veggie burgers for moi!
Looks so yummy! We had fish tacos on the back porch…I love spring.

The Articulate Executive: Learn to Look, Act, and Sound Like a Leader
by Granville N. Toogood
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Required for a homiletics class or I likely would not have read it. I found it very helpful as I had not done much speaking to groups to that point. Attention span, gesturing, inflection of voice, reviewing key points, intro and conclusion importance and reading from notes while speaking all dealt with. Reccomended for a new speaker.

Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy (original 2006; edition 2007)
by Noam Chomsky
Work details
Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy by Noam Chomsky (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I studied Mass Communications in my undergrad, and I remember having to read a bit of Chomsky. I didn't like him. I had no idea what he was talking about. Only much later, when I rediscovered Chomsky, did it occur to me - I had only ever been exposed to Chomsky the linguist and never[1] Chomsky the media theorist or Chomsky the political junkie.
There's a number of his books on our bookshelves, and I am looking forward to eventually making my way through them. Chomsky is just too right too much of the time. This was a very good read.
In Failed States, Chomsky traces how the United States is increasingly fitting the profile of what are generally considered to be 'failed states'. Some salient points that stuck with me:[2]
* US military expenditures approximate those of the rest of the world combined, and the alleged fears over other countries strengthening militarily are likely less of a threat than the fact that the US already controls so much (shipping, etc.);
* the derision and outright aggression directed toward those intelligence experts who have exercised caution or tried to understand the roots of terrorism (i.e., anything beyond an 'us versus them' mentality);
* Washington's long-standing habit of exempting itself from international law when appropriate;[3]
* negotiations surrounding the Non-Proliferation Treaties of the late '90s and early '00s;[4]
* the credibility of intelligence in various international conflicts;
* the promotion of democracy and institutionalization of state-corporate control;
* the incredible lack of health care;[5] and,
* the intricacies of country-to-country relations (e.g., NAFTA, Cuba-Venezuela, etc.).
I'm a left-leaning small-l liberal who believes that corporate interests have taken over way more of our daily life than is healthy. So needless to say, I agree with Chomsky a lot. But even for those who might not agree so readily, he's pretty hard to argue against. His information is all painstakingly footnoted and documented. While no doubt there is a certain level of spin applied to what he is saying, you can't dismiss him as a crank. He is obviously knowledgeable and clearly interested in the future of the US. He also writes clearly (unlike his linguistics work which, having recently returned to one text out of simple curiosity, I still can't make heads or tails out of) and compellingly. Even for those who may not be hugely political persons, this book will surely interest and captivate.
[1] Or, to be fair to my program, never as far as I can remember, some 15 years later.
[2] Somewhat unfortunately, I am writing this book review almost two years after reading the book. I don't remember many details. However, somewhat fortunately, I did make liberal use of sticky tabs whilst reading this book.
[3] The particular passage that I marked had a mention of Michael Ignatieff, now the leader of the Liberal Party, and his apparent support of some of the violations of the Geneva Convention (see p. 54). I really must learn more about this.
[4] Including a quote from the recriminations from the head of Canada's delegations, Paul Martin (see p. 77). Yay for Canada references!
[5] Keeping in mind I read this book two years ago, that was waaaay before Obama's health care reform was even a twinkle in the electorate's eye. And it was hugely overdue (and one of the better signs of real common sense that I've seen coming out of the US in a really long time).
Currently reading this - so far so good. Our governments definitely need tighter regulation, as do our banks, churches and politicians!
This is a great digestion of the frightening state of human rights in the world, from one of the great anarchist (or anti-authoritarian if you prefer) thinkers of our time.
If you are familiar with the political work of Noam Chomsky, you are going to find the recycling of some historical examples from some of his other works. As we should expect from someone building their arguments on the shoulders of modern history.
What is new is the continued deteriorating state of world affairs.
Noam Chomsky polarizes which unfortunately prevents many of his opponents from considering his books on their own merit. His work is backed up by a huge amount of research and documentation. His flaw, if it is one, is to hold the United States of America to an incredibly high moral standard. A standard most humans and active governments are unable to meet. Thus, he sees US failure all around, failures most of his opponents either ignore or dismiss ("stuff happens"). But costly failures they are (especially for the recipients of US support). The Iraqi occupation adds another poster case to Chomsky's (familiar, but nonetheless true) collection of botched US foreign policy (Cuba, Vietnam, Chile, Iran, Nicaragua, ...). The contrast of lofty rhetorics and failed execution is cruel, maddening and disheartening.
What I find disconcerting about Chomsky is that he usually does not account for US successes and does not dwell on the negative aspects of US opponents (Most often, he points out their evilness in just a single line.) which in his presentation results in a lopsided balance unfair to overall US global influence (although positive US initiatives lately have become fewer and fewer). I think Chomsky could make his message much more palatable in acknowledging successes.
The book is divided into six chapters, five dealing with foreign policy, one with the US itself (unfortunately, the weakest chapter of the book featuring Chomsky's usual lament about corporations). The first chapter deals with the disconnect of proclaimed and actual goals. US representatives idealistic claims result in naked power and control politics - not exactly a new message, but one which undermines US credibility. The second chapter adds the US unwillingness to comply with global treaties and exempt itself from banal to crucial commitments. Some are obviously more equal. The US government positions itself alongside Russia, China and other non-complying states instead of the group of democracies. The practice further erodes US credibility. The third chapter destroys (if it ever needed destroying) the respectability of the notion of preemptive war. The value of this book lies in the discussion of the "illegal but legitimate" bombing of Serbia where Chomsky can convincingly (but thanks to hindsight) show that last-minute diplomacy could have achieved most of the good elements of the intervention without the (Serbian) human rights abuses which followed US intervention. Overall, "illegal but legitimate" actions have a bad track record and should only be undertaken with extreme caution. The fourth chapter shows that much what US governments call democracy promotion ends up supporting the opposite (creating nasty side effects, such as the Iranian Revolution). The fifth chapter is a valuable case-study in the well-intentioned but contra-productive support for Israel which discourages a reasonable conflict resolution. The sixth chapter deals with the US itself and lacks analytical sharpness. It is Chomsky's familiar lamentation about the corporate control and skewed playing field of US politics which while certainly accurate does not offer any solutions or improvements. Tacked on as an afterword is a list of (sensible) good global citizen measures the US should adopt.
Chomsky meticulously documents the transgressions the Americans overtly and covertly made in South America, Asia and the Middle East usually supporting the wrong guy for the wrong reasons. Sometimes, this results in Orwellian flip-flops ("Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania.") when formerly allied thugs (Saddam, Noriega, ...) become public enemies which have to be evicted by force. Chomsky is at his best in exposing the rhetoric contortions and inconsistencies of US government positions. The main problem is that the US allies itself to the local (undemocratic) rulers and supports them against their own people. Preaching democracy and supporting oligarchy (if not worse) is a double game the rest of the world less and less tolerates. Within the land of the free and home of the brave, the broken media environment does not prick the bubble. I learned from the book that the New York Times already in the Eighties had a tendency for selective reporting, so Judith Miller is a continuation not an aberration. The problems of US democracy become more and more apparent. Analysis is certainly not lacking. Unfortunately, realistic solutions remain elusive. Chomsky's book adds anger and frustration but does little to mend the broken government.
Forget Iraq and Sudan--America is the foremost failed state, argues the latest polemic from America's most controversial Left intellectual. Chomsky (Imperial Ambitions) contends the U.S. government wallows in lawless military aggression (the Iraq war is merely the latest example); ignores public opinion on everything from global warming to social spending and foreign policy; and jeopardizes domestic security by under-funding homeland defense in favor of tax cuts for the rich and by provoking hatred and instability abroad that may lead to terrorist blowback or nuclear conflict. Ranging haphazardly from the Seminole War forward, Chomsky's jeremiad views American interventionism as a pageant of imperialist power-plays motivated by crass business interests. Disdaining euphemisms, he denounces American "terror" and "war crimes," castigates the public-bamboozling "government-media propaganda campaign" and floats comparisons to Mongols and Nazis. Chomsky's fans will love it, but even mainstream critics are catching up to the substance of his take on Bush Administration policies; meanwhile his uncompromising moral sensibility, icy logic and withering sarcasm remain in a class by themselves. Required reading for every thoughtful citizen.

"It's hard to imagine any American reading this book and not seeing his country in a new, and deeply troubling, light."--The New York Times Book Review
The United States has repeatedly asserted its right to intervene militarily against "failed states" around the globe. In this much-anticipated follow-up to his international bestseller Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky turns the tables, showing how the United States itself shares features with other failed states--suffering from a severe "democratic deficit," eschewing domestic and international law, and adopting policies that increasingly endanger its own citizens and the world. Exploring the latest developments in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Chomsky reveals Washington's plans to further militarize the planet, greatly increasing the risks of nuclear war. He also assesses the dangerous consequences of the occupation of Iraq; documents Washington's self-exemption from international norms, including the Geneva conventions and the Kyoto Protocol; and examines how the U.S. electoral system is designed to eliminate genuine political alternatives, impeding any meaningful democracy.
Forceful, lucid, and meticulously documented, Failed States offers a comprehensive analysis of a global superpower that has long claimed the right to reshape other nations while its own democratic institutions are in severe crisis. Systematically dismantling the United States' pretense of being the world's arbiter of democracy, Failed States is Chomsky's most focused--and urgent--critique to date.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:04 -0400)
The United States has repeatedly asserted its right to intervene militarily against "failed states" around the globe. Chomsky turns the tables, charging the United States with being a "failed state," and therefore a danger to its own people and the world. "Failed states," Chomsky writes, are those "that do not protect their citizens from violence and perhaps even destruction, that regard themselves as beyond the reach of domestic or international law, and that suffer from a 'democratic deficit,' having democratic forms but with limited substance." Exploring recent U.S. foreign and domestic policies, Chomsky assesses Washington's escalation of nuclear risks; the dangerous consequences of the occupation of Iraq; and Americas's self-exemption from international law.

During the past few months two tubes have been devised which may be introduced by mouth and passed into the stomach and thence into the duodenum. The description of these tubes was published almost simultaneously by Gross1 and by Einhorn.2 Both instruments, however, were constructed for use on adults, and both seem to have accomplished their purposes, although they differ somewhat in principle. It seemed to me that it would be well worth while to devise a similar tube for infants, and accordingly I have endeavored to modify and, as I believe I can demonstrate, have succeeded in so modifying the Gross tube that it can readily be adopted for use in the field of pediatrics. I believe that this tube will be of practical use in the treatment of infants, and may serve also to give additional information in those unexplained cases of malnutrition with which we

The search for Kyron: Terri Horman's father talks to 'People'
PORTLAND, Ore. – Three weeks after second-grader Kyron Horman disappears, the national media focuses on his stepmother.
Kyron is on the cover of "People" magazine for the second week in a row. This time, however, the story centers on Kyron's stepmom, Terri Horman. Her father, Larry Moulton, spoke to "People" about the investigation. In this issue, he says investigators are taking a closer look at Terri and answers whether he thinks she'll be arrested.
Under a portrait of the family is a quote from Terri Horman's father: "She's trying to be as cooperative as she can ... I guess they think she's going to break."
The stepmother's dad, Larry Moulton, goes on to say investigators have questioned her six hours at a time, several times; have given her two polygraphs; and have taken her truck away twice.
Investigators had said the truck was removed from her home for repairs.
When Kyron's biological mother and father were asked about Terri Horman in a public statement Friday, they would only say Terri is working with investigators.
"We've been participating heavily with investigators, with leads, tips, questions," said his father, Kaine Horman.
"We cannot come up with anything," said his mother, Desiree Young. "...It's as if a portal opened up in the school and Kyron vanished into it."
Since Kyron disappeared from Skyline Elementary School on June 4, investigators have sent a questionnaire to neighbors and parents – singling out Terri Horman –asking if they had seen her or her truck.
Close friends have spoken out to defend her.
"Terri was the last one to see Kyron, so it is only reasonable to assume that people would speculate and become suspicious of Terri," said friend Michael Cook. "But it doesn't mean she had anything to do with it."
Terri Horman's father said "the finger points back at stepmoms. She's trying to be cooperative." And he describes his daughter – a former teacher – as being "really good with kids."
But when People's interviewer asked if Moulton thinks his daughter will be arrested, the article quotes him with this response: "I think it's 50-50."
Kyron's biological father has said he believes Terri, like the rest of the family, is committed to finding Kyron.
Investigators refuse to comment about any possible suspects or persons of interest. They have, however, said they believe the disappearance of this 7-year-old boy from rural Northwest Portland is an "isolated incident."

PreImplantation Factor (PIF) correlates with early mammalian embryo development-bovine and murine models

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2011, 9:63 doi:10.1186/1477-7827-9-63Published: 15 May 2011
PreImplantation Factor (PIF), a novel peptide secreted by viable embryos is essential for pregnancy: PIF modulates local immunity, promotes decidual pro-adhesion molecules and enhances trophoblast invasion. To determine the role of PIF in post-fertilization embryo development, we measured the peptide's concentration in the culture medium and tested endogenous PIF's potential trophic effects and direct interaction with the embryo.
Determine PIF levels in culture medium of multiple mouse and single bovine embryos cultured up to the blastocyst stage using PIF-ELISA. Examine the inhibitory effects of anti-PIF-monoclonal antibody (mAb) added to medium on cultured mouse embryos development. Test FITC-PIF uptake by cultured bovine blastocysts using fluorescent microscopy.
PIF levels in mouse embryo culture medium significantly increased from the morula to the blastocyst stage (ANOVA, P = 0.01). In contrast, atretic embryos medium was similar to the medium only control. Detectable - though low - PIF levels were secreted already by 2-cell stage mouse embryos. In single bovine IVF-derived embryos, PIF levels in medium at day 3 of culture were higher than non-cleaving embryos (control) (P = 0.01) and at day 7 were higher than day 3 (P = 0.03). In non-cleaving embryos culture medium was similar to medium alone (control). Anti-PIF-mAb added to mouse embryo cultures lowered blastocyst formation rate 3-fold in a dose-dependent manner (2-way contingency table, multiple groups, X2; P = 0.01) as compared with non-specific mouse mAb, and medium alone, control. FITC-PIF was taken-up by cultured bovine blastocysts, but not by scrambled FITC-PIF (control).
PIF is an early embryo viability marker that has a direct supportive role on embryo development in culture. PIF-ELISA use to assess IVF embryo quality prior to transfer is warranted. Overall, our data supports PIF's endogenous self sustaining role in embryo development and the utility of PIF- ELISA to detect viable embryos in a non-invasive manner.

Gatekeeping for Zion
People like myself who are either paleoconservatives or libertarians generally base their opposition to Israel and its Lobby on the costs of the de facto alliance, both financial and in terms of the wars and political chaos it has triggered. We try to demonstrate how damage to rule of law and actual U.S. interests has been a byproduct of the relationship and seek to explain what a sane U.S. foreign policy might actually look like, end of story. But it is different sensibility coming from the more humanitarian inclined political left of the spectrum, which one would assume to have a natural inclination to oppose purveyors of oppression and human suffering. With that in mind, I would observe it is remarkable how ineffective the left has been in mobilizing any serious opposition to Israel's policies.
There is a kind of groupthink that might provide an explanation for the lack of results in spite of what sometimes appears to be frenzied activity on the part of the cluster of liberal groups that focus on the Middle East. Gatherings to "Expose AIPAC" often focus on strategy and training, hardly discussing or challenging the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) at all. They also frequently fail to confront the full array of predominantly Jewish groups actively promoting Israel to include The Hudson Institute, WINEP, the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, MEMRI, the American Enterprise Institute's foreign policy wing, and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. The plethora of well-resourced and actively engaged Jewish groups involved in foreign policy and more particularly Israel promotion is a fact of life inside the Beltway and a critical element supporting the interventionist narrative in spite of the country as a whole becoming decidedly war weary.
At the same time, most American Jews are actually either cool or even hostile to the policies of the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Peter Beinart has called for a boycott of goods produced in the Israeli settlements while Jeffrey Goldberg has denounced a coalition partner in Netanyahu's government, writing "The Jewish Home party advances an ideology that will bring about the destruction (the self-destruction) of Israel." This reaction to the Israeli drift rightwards politically speaking probably explains why most organizations on the political left that are critical of Israel are themselves led by American Jews and, to their credit, they are very outspoken regarding Israel's human rights violations and its policies towards the Palestinians. But it sometimes seems that they are restrained in their critiques, something that might be attributed to what could be referred to as Jewish identity politics. Instead of biting the bullet and confronting the fact that it is leading Jewish organizations and their in-the-pocket politicians that have quite plausibly been the sine qua non in unleashing a series of actual and impending wars against the Muslim world, they instead sometimes serve as gatekeepers to frame and divert an uncomfortable truth while looking for alternative explanations.
Part of the problem is that even though major Jewish organizations' support of interventionism represents what is only a minority opinion among Americans in general, they pretend to represent everyone who is Jewish and have successfully sold that canard to both congress and the media. And make no mistake, it is the financial and political muscle of Jewish groups like Anti-Defamation League, Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, The American Jewish Committee, and the AIPAC that have given the green light to the hard line Israeli governments that have done so much damage to U.S. interests over the past decade. Christian Zionists are highly visible and are frequently cited to demonstrate the diversity of the Israeli Lobby, but they are largely irrelevant in terms of the actual dynamics of the pro-Israel effort. The reality is that no other national lobby can gather 13,000 of the faithful to its convention and count on the enthusiastic presence of numerous politicians from both parties as AIPAC does every year. But in spite of the quite visible power of the Jewish organizations it is sometimes more convenient and less troubling to look instead for other reasons to explain Tel Aviv's misbehavior.
Progressives who are nervous about mentioning the shameless politicking of Jewish organizations frequently parrot what I call the Noam Chomsky rationalization, engaging actively in criticizing Israeli behavior while at the same time blaming the Middle East farrago on outside forces like American imperialism, capitalism, or oil. This approach largely exonerates Israel from actual blame for what it does and it also by extension minimizes the role of the Jewish groups that constitute the core of the pro-Israel lobby because it is claimed that Washington drives the Israeli government's behavior based on its own self-interest not vice versa. As a result, the critics seldom question the legitimacy of the self-defined Jewish state and they are sometimes reluctant to support any measures that would actually do damage to Israel and its perceived interests.
Norman Finkelstein, a reliable progressive critic of Israeli actions, is of the Chomsky persuasion. He believes that the United States would have attacked Iraq anyway based on its own interests whether or not the fervently pro-Israel neocons had occupied key positions in the Pentagon, National Security Council, and White House. Finkelstein, in an article on the Israel Lobby, maintains that "fundamental U.S. policy in the Middle East hasn't been affected by the Lobby," rejects the view that Israel is a liability for U.S. national interests and states instead that it is a "unique and irreplaceable American asset." He describes American Jewish elites as only "'pro' an Israel that is useful to the U.S." He insists that the neocons do not "generally have a primary allegiance to Israel [or] in fact, any allegiance to Israel." The evidence, however, suggests otherwise: even agreeing that the Iraq war had a number of godfathers, the folks in the Pentagon and White House who cooked the books and led the charge had extremely well documented strong personal and even financial ties to Israel, so much so that several of them were accused of passing classified information to the Israeli Embassy.
The shaping of the narrative to minimize the role of organizations that are demonstrably Jewish – albeit unrepresentative of Jewish opinion in America -has also been very effective in some media circles. An April 2007 ninety minute presentation on PBS's Frontpage with Bill Moyers "Buying the War," a critical look at the genesis of the Iraq invasion, did not mention Israel's supporters even once. And one only has consider the recent Obama trip to Israel as well as the interrogation at the Chuck Hagel nomination, which was driven by organizations like AIPAC from behind the scenes, to realize that the United States government is no free agent when it comes to Middle Eastern policy. Ignoring the dominant role of "Jewish leaders" and the well-funded organizations that they head which falsely pretend to represent their entire community is a convenient obfuscation if one does not want to address causality, a bit like being concerned about global warming without looking at the actual science.
President Obama recognizes the power represented by Jewish groups acting as a cohesive and focused political entity when he meets with them collectively in the White House, so why the reluctance in recognizing and confronting their persistent pro-war, pro-intervention agenda? At a March 7th session, shortly before his trip to Israel, Obama met with Alan Solow, Lee Rosenberg and Michael Kassen of AIPAC; Barry Curtiss-Lusher of the Anti-Defamation League; David Harris of the American Jewish Committee; Jerry Silverman of Jewish Federations of North America; Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz; former Congressman Robert Wexler; Dan Mariaschin of B'nai B'rith; Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of J Street; and Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Admittedly the linking of Jewish organizations' easy access to policymakers with their possible role in launching a string of failed wars in Asia and still more in the offing on behalf of Israel makes many people uncomfortable because it invites the dual loyalty critique and even more extreme commentary that is ultimately racist in nature, but there you have it. The president knows who is pulling his strings and so should the rest of us.
Americans can either confront the ugly realities of what has been going on for the past twelve years or they can pretend that what they are seeing is not really there. The gatekeepers are understandably concerned lest Washington's next war be blamed on American Jews so it is far better to suggest against all evidence that Israel is a pawn of American imperialism or that recent wars have been about oil or capitalist exploitation. The reality is that if progressives (and the rest of us) really want to stop a proxy war against Syria followed by a catastrophic conflict with Iran we have to take the blinkers off and be willing to confront Jewish groups like AIPAC and the ADL directly and persistently.

Pat Buchanan said it all over 20 years ago. " Congress is Israeli occupied territory. " Phil is right. Most of us here are doing our part. It is a long uphill battle. But it must be fought if this country is to avoid yet more disasters. To Hell with the ADL, AIPAC, and the SPLC.
it goes far above a few organizations….. the country is over run by israeli spies
The problem is that the term "American Jews" is not a specific enough term for these warmongers and apartheid supporters. I would accuse them of Israel-centrism, imperialism, colonialism, and above all using the memory of the holocaust to hide their own misdeeds and racism. They need to be stripped of their holocaust fig leaf, their ethnic fig leaf, and even their Israelphilia and let the world see that the emperor has no clothes. That these are self serving small minded racist that like to generate chaos far away from the danger itself and cowardly hide behind other Jews who probably are going to get blamed for their actions in the end.
I did not read the details of the Chomsky link this time but I have understood those arguments as sane before. Something like: the logic of capitalism drives imperialism and oil is a necessary source for it.
The consequences are horrific but cause not inexplicable.
The Iran influence in Iraq has been confusing but is maybe just a detail in the long run: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ali-younes/john-ker…
Israel's Mideast malevolence is a sideshow. It enables the ever increasing Israeli/Jewish control of America's government, finances and military-industrial complex. The Jewish state has occupied not just Palestine, but America too. Our democracy is being methodically destroyed from within and transformed into a world dominating racist ultrapower, the JEWISH STATE OF AMERICA.
Phil,could give me a period of US history about you are proud and was different than last twelve years?Meanwhile i believe that Chomsky and Finkelstein are rights but i recognize that i don't know well US's history.I mean a period when "freedom" and "democracy"were the real motive of US wars.As one who saw the events of the last 40 years a i can't see anything different and anything differ5ent from what a capitalism system in stage of imperialism can do.

Exactly, Johnny. Phil is indeed right. The Israel lobby is pushing Syrian regime change/civil war just like it did with Iraq (with 5,000 US troops dead and thousands more wounded/maimed not to mentioned all the dead Iraqis too): http://tinyurl.com/jamesmorrisoncrosstalk

Chomsky Acknowledges the Neocons as the Dominant Force in Pushing for Iraq War
Mr. Giraldi,
Thank-you for doing what Thoreau suggested – digging out the roots of evil instead of just hacking at the branches. Racist Israel is just another evil in the World and in time it will die like the rest.
Great article, and agreed on all points.
I'm not entirely sure about Finkelstein, but I think Chomsky is entirely sincere in his belief that Israel serves US neo-imperialist interests. I also think he's completely wrong about that, but I don't think he's trying to hide anything or conduct some kind of under-handed rationalization. I think it largely follows from his leftwing/Marxist views about history and economics. (NB: I write that as a liberal/leftist.)
IIRC Meerscheimer/Walt discussed the "Chomsky" viewpoint in their book. Much to their credit, they don't dismiss it with a wave of their hand, but rather go into detail to show why it's incorrect.
I heard that already, but Chomsky maintains that "the Israel Lobby" is not the important force. Just listen. I think he is correct.
Ok (relating to my comments above) I better read it. Thanks.
I don't know that we can blame Israel for what the US does. Israel acts in her own interest and those that lobby for her, do the same. If elected officials "sell out", or honestly believe our interests coincide, it's up to the American people to vote for, or against them. Apparently, by what appears in the media, the only things that matter to the vast majority of Americans are homosexual athletes and adulterous congressional candidates. War appears to be of very little concern.
Why in the world would Americans take up for people's they know have been stealing from US since 1965 when they infected us all with spirochetal prion protein infections called Immortal and then introduce psychiatry to kill them by dopeing us all up instead of treating the real cause of AIDS immune suppression. How much corruption and murder are the public to stomach knowing our corrupt Congress knows that all syndromes from Autism to Alzheimers are all caused by multiple infections they refuse to treat. Instead they dream up wars to get US into so they can add Anthrax and Smallpox to the prion gene sharing stealth infections they already have so they can get its and giggles watching the 22 a day US soldiers keel themselves a day in refusal to treat the truth! Now the murderers have garnered "Ethical" approval to give it to all your kids so they can all chew their limbs off because they can't find a gun! Send the corrupt Congress to jail that steals our lives while giving E2 status to Israeli's to come take your land when your gone!

by harassing syria, we are effectively attacking iran at its weakest point. Yhis is a war with iran…..
what has syria ever done against us? against israel in the last 30 years? agaisnt other arabs??
nothing… syria was and is harmless.
israel, by attacking syria ( in truth they attacked a brigade of iranian revolutionary guards, trying to provoke iran) is trying to start a major war so we can step in and they can step aside and watch the goyim slaughter eachother
israel has the biggest stock of biological weapons in the world ( for which only they have the inoculations )and one of the biggest of nukes….
if ever, israel is about to lose a conventional war, they will no doubt be willing to murder hundreds of millions of people to preserve their little racist apartheid state.
Phil makes a good point that the left led anti-war movement has been seriously hampered by its inability to take on Israel. I am part of that problem. Certainly at the beginning of the Iraq War it was pretty clear to many of us that that was a war on behalf of Israel. However, we did not make the case because it would be divisive as well as earning anyone who tried to make that case an accusation of antisemitism. I certainly feared that accusation.
I think today that the situation is improving there is a growing political space where criticism of Israel is tolerated. Unfortunately, there is no left-wing antiwar movement to speak of today. But if it is to be rebuilt it will have to put Israel in its sights at the very beginning. Part of the problem last time was that the left-wing Democrats played too large a role in the movement and they dropped their antiwar stance as soon as Obama was elected. These people, were of course, very pro-Israeli.
Oh put a lid on it Rich, this bull does not fly or stick to anything anymore. All the media in the Us are 100% pro shitty little state and push hard for its policies and shield it from any meaningful criticism or even meaningful debate. The average American joe has no chance of knowing what the reality of those monsters is. Then there is the incredible power of money that is being used to maintain an Israeli centric policy in DC.
But I agree with you on one thing, that the Israelis are following their own interest, in exchange you have to accept what wil happen when the American will follow THEIR own interest.
Excellent article, Philip !!!
But are you really serious in maintaining that the pro Israeli lobby does not represent the majority of American Jews ? For all I know that might well be the case, but besides mentioning that some left wing organizations have called for a boycott of Israel, you offered no other evidence or statistic to support this premise !
Are you really trying to say that the great Jewish nation in America is being misrepresented by Israeli lobbyists, and none of us, fellow Americans have heard a peep from them ?
There is a theory in the middle east, I don't know how much traction it has, but, there is a theory in the middle east that israel is an extension of the "American Empire", that israel is a tool used by America to colonize the middle east. This theory is nonsense and backwards. Tiny israel, actually holds the United States Captive, politically. The most influential people in America are dual citizens of israel, members of the b'nai brith, and only live in New York and Los Angeles. People like Michael Bloomberg for example. He doesn't care about people that live in Americas Heartland. He doesn't care about people from Oklahoma city Oklahoma, or Peoria Illinois etc. People like Alan Greenspan and so many others that slip my mind right now. They don't get their hands dirty.
The media and the politicians in America go out of their way to trick people into thinking that OUR interests are exactly the same as the jews. They aren't.

I asked a question time ago:how is possible that whole Israeli lobby +whole Israeli diplomats+whole Israeli politicians Pollard release and after 25 years they didn't get it,but they,according with lobby theories,can make wars which US rejects by principle but nevertheless they do it only for Israel interests?Imagine that Israeli lobby to get something from Cuba will begin to laud Cuban system and will demand US to stop the boycott against Cuba.Would they manage?I'm sure that not.Indeed ,regarding Iraq criminal invasion ,Israel pushed for it but she manages to convince only where US is ready to be convinced.

It's not a simple binary. One can neither say Israel is a piece of US policy, nor that US middle east policy is dictated by Israel. The interests, policies and practices of the two nations are much more closely interwoven, much less objectified than that. It is an histrical abnormality for two sovereign nations to be so closely bound together, so inseverable, but unusual hardly means impossible. As long as the ruling elites in both nations genuinely believe they are gaining indispensable advantage through this relationship, it wil persist, and as of yet there is no sign that either nation's rulers have any significant dissatisfaction.
My policy is to ban anyone associated with white supremacy. Mr. Pearlman needs to find another site with whom he can share his wisdom.

ALBANY — Jordan Thompson stepped off the beach and onto the track.
He wasn't alone.
Nearly the entire Albany State track & field team returned from spring break Thursday and immediately started practicing and training for their first home meet of the season — Saturday's 20th annual Alice Coachman Invitational.
"They came off the road (and came straight to practice)," ASU coach Ken Taylor said during Thursday's practice. "Some of their cars are still packed. Some of them stopped at a (rest stop), got changed and came straight to practice."
Thompson, a sophomore who is one of the team's top hurdlers, was one of those who took his conditioning with him to the beach, where he would work out twice a day next to the ocean.
Looking Ahead
WHO: ASU track & field athletes and athletes from a host of other Division I and II schools.
WHAT: 20th annual Alice Coachman Invitational Track & Field meet.
WHEN: Begins with field events at 8 a.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Robert Cross Track & Field facility at Albany State.
"There were people out there running and jogging, but I was the only one sprinting super fast," Thompson said. "I would do my sprints right there along with the little kids playing football."
Thompson is one of several ASU athletes who will be looking for top finishes at Saturday's meet — which is named after Albany native Alice Coachman-Davis, who was the first African-American woman to win an Olympic gold medal.
It's a special meet for everyone at ASU, especially Taylor, who has been friends with Coachman for years.
"Because I know her personally, it's good to pay tribute to someone who had the accomplishments she did back during a time when women weren't the highlight of track and field, and more importantly black women weren't a highlight in track and field," Taylor said. "And even more importantly, she went to nations where women and black women weren't important in track and field and had the accomplishments she did. That's what makes me feel good about the opportunity to do this meet in her name."
Coachman, who made history and gained international attention by capturing the high-jump title and world record during the 1948 Olympic Games in London, won 10 consecutive U.S. titles in the high jump and national titles in the 50- and 100-meter dashes and 400-meter relay team.
Taylor said that Coachman, who is now 88 years old, used to come to the meet but hasn't made an appearance in several years.
"I don't know if her daughter is going to try to bring her over Saturday," Taylor said. "I would certainly love to see her, if nothing else so she can sit there and wave to people with that beautiful smile she has."
It's also a special meet for Thompson, who set personal and school records with a 52.21 in the 400-meter hurdles at last year's Alice Coachman Invite.
"Last year was a beautiful day, and I knew a few other 400 hurdlers coming from other schools, and we were talking trash on Twitter and Facebook," Thompson said. "This was my home meet and home track, so I had to bring it."
That's the attitude the whole team seems to be bringing into Saturday's meet, which gives ASU a chance to compete in front of friends and classmates.
"We are comfortable here. I know the curves, I know the straights and everything," sprinter Untayous Benson said. "It puts a smile on my face when you look toward the finish line and see the fence you see at practice every day. It's about the environment and having people here that you know. Running at home is a whole lot better."
Several ASU athletes, including Benson and Thompson, are among the favorites at the meet. CreeAnn Perkins, who recently broke the school record in the discus and is about a foot away from breaking the school record in the shot put, is already on the qualifying list for nationals.
Brittany Carter, who was one of just a few ASU runners who stayed home during spring break to continue normal conditioning, was a second away from qualifying for the nationals last year in the 800 and is working toward getting to that level this season in the 800 and 1,500. Irrion Conaler, who also stayed on campus for spring break, is poised to set records in the 400 hurdles, while Isaiah Leggette is already on the nationally qualifying list in the triple jump and is on the brink of qualifying in several other events.
ASU will be joined by three other teams Saturday — the Stillman men and women and the Morehouse men — but the field is loaded with premiere runners unattached to universities who are looking to earn a spot on the next Olympic team.
"For a lot of them it will actually be their first meet on their training schedules. Most of them want to start peaking in May, June and July so they won't run early meets," Taylor said. "A lot of them like to make their debut at a low-profile meet, like this one. It's not at Atlanta. It's not under the lights. It's not at Florida State or the University of Florida. It's a less-threatening environment for them to come out and see where they are."
The hammer and javelin throws will kick off the meet at 8 a.m. at the Robert Cross Track & Field facility at ASU, while the rest of the event will resume at 11 a.m. in two different locations. The men's and women's 3,000 steeplechase will be held at Hugh Mills, and the rest of the running and field events will be at the ASU complex.

Jamesville Even though it has the no. 3-ranked team in the state, the Liverpool boys cross country team is not going to Queensbury High School this weekend for the state Class A championship race – at least not as a whole unit, anyway.
True, the Warriors managed to qualify four runners – sophomore Ben Petrella, juniors Dan Muldoon and Connor Buck, and senior Alex Christensen – for the state meet as part of the Section III All-Star squad, and Dylan McCarthy is the first alternate.
But what Liverpool really wanted out of last Saturday's Section III Class A meet at Jamesville Beach Park was a long-elusive victory over Fayetteville-Manlius, the state's top-ranked team and the dynasty so few have come close to toppling.
What made the difference was that the Hornets, who finished with 24 points to the Warriors' 37, sent its three best runners – Bryce Millar, Andrew Berge and Peter Ryan – to the front, and none of Liverpool's stars were able to catch them, putting the Warriors at a point deficit it could not overcome.
Petrella finished in 15 minutes, 46.7 seconds, just behind Ryan (15:41.5) for the third spot as Millar (15:37.8) edged Berge (15:38.1) for the individual title in the fastest race of the day.
Muldoon, in a time of 15:58.5, got into sixth place behind Utica Proctor's Zakaria Adam (15:54.4). Buck finished eighth, in 16:13.2, while Christensen, in 16:15.3, managed to keep McCarthy (16:15.8) from qualifying for the state meet by just half a second.
Elsewhere for the Warriors, Ryan Comstock finished 17th, in 16:53.2, while Nick LeClair got to 25th place in 17:12.2. Jacob Rowell was 31st, in 17:32.7, just ahead of Sean Brais (17:36.0) and Ty Brownlow (17:36.8), who were 33rd and 34th, respectively.
Cicero-North Syracuse took fourth in the team standings with 125 points, but qualified none of its runners for the state meet.

would have made clear that Bakersfield is not a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
The council did approve a resolution calling on the federal government to enact immigration reform.
After the meeting, opponents of the English-only and the sanctuary resolutions praised the council for making the decision.

KGMI News Reporting
By Karen Taylor
OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington State Liquor Control Board has delayed rolling out new recreational marijuana rules for at least another month to consider public input.
Spokesman Brian Smith says much of the input they received at the public meetings last week was related to questions over how much marijuana will be allowed to be produced and the size and number of grow operations and how many stores will be allowed.
He says they had planned on putting a cap on the amount of pot production and now the board has every reason to do it before the new deadline.
The new rules are scheduled to be filed September 4.
The board will hold a public hearing in October and adopt the rules several weeks after that.
The regulations will go into effect by November 16, at which point people can start applying for licenses during a 30-day window.
The new timeline pushes back the official sale of legal pot to March.

It turns out adidas has plenty more in store for its venerable Stan Smith silhouette. One upcoming project finds the Three Stripes tapping the services of a quintet of designers from Asia to produce the Consortium Stan Smith "PLAY" pack. For the pair devised by Shigeki Fujishiro, the Tokyo-based product designer maintains the shoe's bare-bones aesthetic while integrating colored string throughout the perforated three-stripes to create. The upshot: different geometric shapes on the sides of each side shoe, conferring an entirely new look. "Stan Smith Play" printed near the heel finishes the details. Expect the limited-edition kicks to be available at No.6 London, No.42 Paris, No.74 Berlin and select Consortium retailers beginning March 8th.

I recently set up a little bookcase in the living room and packed it with the greatest hits of my reading life. Plucked from my basement library, these 75 novels aren't necessarily the best I've read, but they hold the stories, the writing or the ideas that jolted or inspired me the most as a reader and a writer.
The top shelf starts with Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men." Based on outrageous Louisiana governor Huey Long, this novel dazzled me with its politics and poetry. After finishing it on a night train hurtling through Thailand, I immediately started scribbling down the idea for the first novel I ever tried to write.
Nearby, on this same shelf, are the two Northwest novels that rocked me as a teenager -- Tom Robbins' "Another Roadside Attraction" and Ken Kesey's "Sometimes a Great Notion" Farther down is Alice Walker's "The Color Purple," which slapped me with its first page and soon had me forcing it on college friends. Drop down a row and there's my favorite provocative novel of 2012, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" by Ben Fountain.
Gathering all these books together in one compact bookcase felt like a reunion. Hey, "Ironweed"! I hadn't even seen the cover of William Kennedy's novel in decades but his story about some irresistible bums sticks with me like it's my own. And there's Styron's "Sophie's Choice." That movie was so powerful that people forget the book was even stronger.
I have kept in touch with many of these books through the years, such as "The Great Gatsby", which I cracked again the other night just to re-read its final six pages. I've reopened Pete Dexter's "Paper Boy" several times to study the tense realism of his dialogue. And I'm looking forward to re-reading the daring opening to Ann Patchett's "Bel Canto."
They're all here together now. And browsing back in time on the bottom shelf, I see "Being There," Jerzy Kosinski's brilliant satire, which felt so illicit to this 14-year-old. And back further, there's "Conan". Yes, I loved that pulp fiction series, and I'd still argue Robert E. Howard was a gifted vivid writer. And before him, there was Wilson Rawls and his story of an Ozarks boy and his two hunting dogs. "Where the Red Fern Grows" was the last book ever read aloud to me. I considered leaving it out of this bookcase, but it belongs too.

hello all
the newest update of the game is..is 0.48.2
and f1 activated..but than on both options traienr cannot find game
You need wait few seconds. First trainer say "can not find game" then after few seconds it says "activated" and You can use options. Be sure that You run it as Administrator.
I'm using the trainer but my food production is zero so i get no population growth am I the only one with this problem?
I had same thing in game, but it was one technology, which changed all food in to production or something (sorry too lazy to start game now). It was second tech from the end when I played with pilgrims. Automated something. So this tech was itself use all food production and my population didn't grown either. And it was always starting to build itself on different planets. Now I just don't develop it and it's fine. Just read all techs description before You research it. I hope this helps.
i THINK its called "adaptive industry", which is an improvement that takes all surplus food, and converts it into... Either science or industry
Yeah that's it...

The Dark Knight
Just got back from the midnight release .... oh my fucking god.
We got there around 11 and there was the biggest line I'd ever seen for a movie in my whole life. The line went around the entire perimeter of the theater and well into the parking lot, and it's a 16-theater building.
Anyway, we get in and it was all-out mayhem. 10 of the theaters were showing the movie, and basically instead of going to where their ticket said, everyone just rushed any theater. We looked through 6 of the theaters before we found seats, and they were in the second row from the front, which kinda sucked. But that doesnt matter, because the movie itself was absolutely in-fucking-credible.
Christian Bale played a very good Batman and Bruce Wayne. Calm, cool, and collected as Bruce, and badass as Batman. This leads us to Heath Ledger. Now, god rest his soul, but going into this movie, hearing reviews that say "Ledger deserves an Oscar for his role." and so on, I kinda felt that they were overplaying it because of his unfortunate demise. Well, after leaving that theater, I was singing a different toon. Ledger's grasp of the Joker was incredible. He was eerie, creepy, dark, and even scary throughout the whole movie, and he did an amazing job.
*Semi Spoiler*
Now, because of all the media attention over Ledger's death and hype about his role as the joker, many people overlooked Aaron Eckhart's role as Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face. Now, I've never seen any other of Eckhart's movies, heck, I'd never even heard of him, but he too played his part in the movie very well.
Overall, I can say that this is easily the best movie I've seen this year and it will definately be one of the more remembered movies of our time. 10/10
Almost totally agreed.
The theater wasn't so much chaotic, but still busy.
It really is one of those must see movies, even in you didn't see the first. This should be the end of the 2 batman movie curse.
This time around there wasn't much focus on Bruce Wayne and his character wasn't developed very much because of that. The Joker and Harvey Dent were the real interesting ones, and depending on what the turnout is on the rest of the movies this year, Heath Ledger may well deserve an oscar.
I still hold Iron Man as my favorite movie so far this year, but this is a much better movie. If you don't get what I'm saying, an extreme example would be comparing The Big Lebowski to Casablanca.
[QUOTE=DethMaiden;188372]I MUST SEE THIS AND I WILL ON SATURDAY[/QUOTE]
Same here :D
Very, very, excited to see this.
i'm going saturday. must see this movie!!!!
What theater did you go to, was it the one by the mall in Rockaway?

Kanye West, Drew Brees join lineup for Make it Right gala
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Singer Kanye West and Saints quarterback Drew Brees have joined the list of celebrities that will attend a gala March 10 in New Orleans to benefit Brad Pitt's Make It Right home rebuilding effort.
Pitt launched the Make It Right Foundation in 2007 to help Lower 9th Ward residents who lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Lower 9th Ward was one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods when Katrina caused levees to fail, inundating roughly 80 percent of the city with floodwater.
Pitt worked with architects to come up with designs for stronger, safer and more energy efficient houses than the ones residents lost.
Pitt is attending the $1,000-a-seat gala that will include performances by Sheryl Crow, Rihanna, Seal, the Neville family and Dr. John.

Old-style voting machines might have confused some voters who cast their ballots for the recent school board election in the North Rockland school district.

In the North Rockland school district, candidates run for a specific seat. Each seat is specified on the ballot with the current officeholder's name. ...
