Crossing Zero: The AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire
Focuses on the AfPak strategy and the importance of the Durand Line, the border separating Pakistan from Afghanistan but referred to by the military and intelligence community as Zero line. The U.S. fought on the side of extremist-political Islam from Pakistan during the 1980s and against it from Afghanistan since September 11, 2001. It is therefore appropriate to think of the Durand/Zero line as the place where America's intentions face themselves; the alpha and omega of nearly 60 years of American policy in Eurasia. The Durand line is visible on a map. Zero line is not.(Coming February, 2011) (read more)

A Rare 20 Minute Video of the Boston Cast of HAIR 1970 Benefit Performance Filmed at Boston City Hospital on YouTube Why HAIR matters today as told by Paul Fitzgerald, a participant in the performance
As a freshman at Boston University in 1969, I realized that the school had me in the same old stifling mold of conservative-student-athlete that I'd known in high school and I needed something new. When I read that New York casting agents were auditioning for a Boston production of HAIR, I wandered down to the Wilbur theatre and signed up.
That same day, my faculty advisor strongly advised me against doing the audition. After asking, "How do you feel about the war in Vietnam?" he suggested I was cut out for far more serious things and probed whether I might not be interested in a career with some mysterious and unnamed government agency.
With the experience of my father's recent death fresh in my mind I needed a stable career but unlike my advisor, I considered HAIR to be a very serious choice and went ahead with the audition. By the middle of January I was on stage in the lead role of Claude and had met the woman who would become my wife. Coming as it did, HAIR was a lifesaver. It showed me at the age of 19 that positive change was possible and I still believe it is.
Since performing the role of Claude in Boston in 1970, HAIR has been an inspiration in my work. My wife Liz Gould and I are planning a radical new approach to international problem-solving by staging a peace conference next October for the tribal people of Afghanistan in the land once described as the gate to Shambala: the Altai Republic of the Russian Federation.
The Altai Conference will provide the opportunity to bring a spiritual awakening to a troubled world at the most dangerous moment in our history while acknowledging the oneness of the tribal origins of our lives. In its time HAIR was an unexpected "out of the box" political and social awakening whose impact still reverberates around the world. We intend to bring the power of our HAIR experience to Altai and put it to work transforming today's toxic international scene into "a movement to bring about positive change" to the world.
Altai can be an evolution of the HAIR awakening. It is embodied in this 1970 HAIR benefit performance I participated in that was filmed at Boston City Hospital. Most amazingly, this precious 20 minute video found its way to me in 1980. It renewed my belief in the power of the HAIR experience. We intend to find a way to bring that spirit and success to Altai.

The struggle between "socialist" Bernie Sanders and "New Democrat" Hillary Clinton points out an old conflict underlying the nature of Democratic Party politics which could be regarded as "the love that dare not speak its name." Read full article here.
The struggle between "socialist" Bernie Sanders and "New Democrat" Hillary Clinton points out an old conflict underlying the nature of Democratic Party politics which could be regarded as "the love that dare not speak its name."
That fearful threat, of course, never happened. Liberal intellectuals (with a lot of help from the CIA) circumvented the Communist line by inventing an artificial "left" of their own that, over time, successfully marginalized the real left and delegitimized it.
Democratic Party liberals fought the Communists to the bitter end in Vietnam and elsewhere, but by 1980 had so lost track of their own identity that they easily fell to Ronald Reagan's New Right.
The mass movement of the American people away from left-leaning democratic populism came as a profound shock to Democratic Party regulars exhausted from their struggles with the left. Vice President Walter Mondale's devastating 49 state defeat to Reagan in 1984 sealed the left's fate and, in 1985, the party was lobotomized of any left-sided ideology at all, merging with its intellectual other.
The transformation came in the form of the Democratic Leadership Council, DLC — a non-profit corporation whose goal was to the recast the old Democratic Party into a go-go pro-business conservative mold. From the start the DLC maintained a strong neo-conservative agenda, especially in foreign policy. Its selection of Bill Clinton as chairman in 1990 helped cement its acceptance with the general public but the split within the party grew even deeper. These "New Democrats" sold themselves as centrist reformers but behaved more like merchant bankers and, within a few years, ushered in a raft of privatizations, Wall Street giveaways, tough-on-crime laws, and deregulated trade rules that would rob the middle class and set a course toward financial ruin.
The New Democrats were quickly swapping tried and true Democratic Party values for tried and true Republican virtues, and within no time had banished the real "left" in anything but name from the political process.
Prior to the 1990s, old Democrats were careful to reconcile their rank and file with the "limousine liberals" who financed candidates and funded campaigns, but according to the author of Reinventing Democrats, Kenneth Baer, the DLC was now brazenly selling itself as an "elite organization [within the party] funded by elite-corporate and private-donors."
As a self-described socialist, Sanders' candidacy has clearly moved the New Democrat Hillary Clinton further to the real left than her Wall Street-friendly establishment supporters feel comfortable. Their discomfort with single payer health care and the breaking up of Wall Street's big banks was thinly disguised in a recent New York Times endorsement of Clinton's nomination, which sought to dismiss Sanders' "socialist" policy ideas as simply unrealistic, while New Democrat Hillary Clinton's proposals are "very good, and achievable." Yet here, instead of assuring her bonafides as a genuine leader, the Times' endorsement only leaves readers wondering whether Hillary Clinton's "achievable proposals" aren't simply more of the same old hyped-up New Democrat chimeras that will disappear into thin air once the doors to the White House close behind her.
It is beyond doubt that Hillary Clinton will not change her expansionist internationalist views, no matter what she promises or delivers in terms of domestic social programs. Like all New Democrats, she demands a tough military response to virtually all of America's foreign policy problems, even after it has consistently proven to worsen America's security. But without demanding profound and permanent changes in America's neoconservative interventionist foreign policy, Bernie Sanders as President won't make any difference either.
America's next president will have to deal with neocon-inspired crises in foreign policy that grow more dangerous by the day. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran and NATO expansion sit atop a long list of hot-button issues that could quickly turn into violent conflicts far more deadly than World Wars I and II. But unless Sanders is willing to face down the fact that these crises are the product of a neoconservative philosophy of unending war, he will fare no better than his predecessors.
One might assume from Republican campaign rhetoric that Democrats are a soft touch when it comes to interventionist policies, but the rhetoric and the reality say very different things. Jimmy Carter promised in his inaugural address to rid the world of nuclear weapons, then proceeded to lay the groundwork for direct military intervention in the Middle East and the largest military buildup since World War II. Everyone credits Reagan for putting the US back into the deep freeze of the Cold War, but if it hadn't been for Carter's national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski's provocative covert actions inside the Soviet Union, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe — intended to poison US/Soviet relations — Reagan's unnecessary buildup would never have gotten off the ground. It's a longstanding joke that presidents rarely keep campaign promises. Over a hundred years ago Woodrow Wilson promised to keep America neutral and out of World War I. In the run up to the 1940 presidential elections, Franklin Roosevelt said "I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." And so it is with President Obama, a man honored with a Nobel Peace Prize presumably for his commitment to abolishing nuclear weapons, who may well go down in history as the man who made the Apocalypse doable because of his proposed trillion dollar nuclear weapons upgrade.
America's political freedom relies on safe and rational foreign policy decisions. The Patriot Act, NSA spying and a perpetual War on Terror are but three consequences of a foreign policy that is neither safe nor rational. Supporters of Bernie Sanders assume that he will make foreign policy decisions free from the inbred neoconservative biases of his chief opponent, but what will the Vermont Senator's supporters do should their candidate fall in line with the status quo after the election, as Obama did, and fail to deliver on his promises?
Americans, both left and right, are ill informed when it comes to their leaders. Most Americans would be horrified to learn that many of the neoconservatives behind America's permanent war culture learned their trade under the tutelage of RAND military analyst Albert Wohlstetter, a follower of Leon Trotsky, the leader of the Red Army and a close compatriot to Vladimir Lenin during the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
Wohlstetter was one of the many godfathers of the neoconservative political movement. Over the course of 30 years he moved seamlessly from Communism to Capitalism and between Republicans and Democrats, even secretly misadvising John F. Kennedy's Presidential campaign about a "bomber gap" that didn't exist. In the process he helped to shift American political and military thinking toward permanent war by applying the political philosophy of none other than Leon Trotsky.
Americans would have to reexamine every assumption they have about their political system when they realize the core, flag-waving architects of Ronald Reagan's New Right were Trotskyites. Had it not been for Joseph Stalin, they might have been running the Soviet Union but, instead, they are now running the United States.
So where does Bernie Sanders hang his hat in this maelstrom of a century old struggle to control of the world? With all the insane and somewhat fascist rhetoric issuing from Donald Trump's campaign, one idea worth stealing is the one that riles the neoconservatives of both parties: Sanders' desire to overthrow the neocon ideological agenda of endless war, a political belief system that still rules Washington foreign policy circles.
Bernie Sanders' supporters must come to understand that the only way he can make good on his promise of single payer healthcare, more social security and repairing America's broken infrastructure is to adopt this pragmatic foreign policy position as his own. To not only beat Hillary Clinton, but a Republican contender as well, he must offer a viable and doable alternative to a continued foreign policy of endless war and he must articulate it now, before it is too late.

"For the first time in my very long life… we are, and I don't want to sound alarmist but I am alarmed, closer to the actual possibility of war with Russia than we have ever been since the Cuban missile crisis. That's how bad it's been." Stephen Cohen on the Tom Hartman show April 2, 2015
Retired Russia historian Stephen Cohen along with a small handful of academics, journalists and former government officials (who believed the Cold War had ended and would never return) point their fingers at the Western Neocon establishment for America's latest outbreak of what can only be referred to as late stage imperial dementia. Neocons Robert Kagan and wife Victoria Nuland have certainly done their share of the heavy lifting to make Ukraine the staging ground for what increasingly appears to be a NATO blitzkrieg on Moscow. As columnist William Pfaff wrote in one of his final articles (April 1, 2015 Putin and the Neo-Conservatives) "The energy behind the coup in Ukraine and the proposals to deploy Western arms and re-launch the crisis is generally and I think correctly, recognized as the work of the neoconservative alliance in Washington to which President Obama seems to have sub-leased his European policy." But whatever the determination of the neocon plot to forge ahead with a further destabilization of Russia's borders, they are only the barking dogs of the master imperialist whose grand design has been slowly creeping over the globe since he stepped into the Oval office as National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter in 1977.
Love him or hate him, Zbigniew Brzezinski stands apart as the inspiration for the Ukraine crisis. His 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives lays out the blueprint for how American primacists should feel towards drawing Ukraine away from Russia. (p. 46) "Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire." He writes. "Without Ukraine, Russia… would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state, more likely to be drawn into debilitating conflicts with aroused Central Asians, who would then be resentful of the loss of their recent independence and would be supported by their fellow Islamic states to the south."

Whatever Russia is called outwardly, there is an inner eternal Russia whose embryonic character places her on an antithetical course to that of the USA
The rivalry between the USA and Russia is something more than geopolitics or economics. These are reflections of antithetical worldviews of a spiritual character. The German conservative historian-philosopher Oswald Spengler, who wrote of the morphology of cultures as having organic life-cycles, in his epochal book The Decline of The West had much to say about Russia that is too easily mistaken as being of a Russophobic nature. That is not the case, and Spengler wrote of Russia in similar terms to that of the 'Slavophils'. Spengler, Dostoyevski, Berdyaev, and Solzhenistyn have much of relevance to say in analyzing the conflict between the USA and Russia. Considering the differences as fundamentally 'spiritual' explains why this conflict will continue and why the optimism among Western political circles at the prospect of a compliant Russia, fully integrated into the 'world community', was so short-lived.
Of the religious character of this confrontation, an American analyst, Paul Coyer, has written:
Amidst the geopolitical confrontation between Vladimir Putin's Russia and the US and its allies, little attention has been paid to the role played by religion either as a shaper of Russian domestic politics or as a means of understanding Putin's international actions. The role of religion has long tended to get short thrift in the study of statecraft (although it has been experiencing a bit of a renaissance of late), yet nowhere has it played a more prominent role—and perhaps nowhere has its importance been more unrecognized—than in its role in supporting the Russian state and Russia's current place in world affairs.[1]
Russia's 'Soul'
Spengler regarded Russians as formed by the vastness of the land-plain, as innately antagonistic to the Machine, as rooted in the soil, irrepressibly peasant, religious, and 'primitive'. Without a wider understanding of Spengler's philosophy, it appears that he was a Slavophobe. However, when Spengler wrote of these Russian characteristics, he was referring to the Russians as a still youthful people in contrast to the senile West. Hence the 'primitive' Russian is not synonymous with 'primitivity' as popularly understood at that time in regard to 'primitive' tribal peoples. Nor was it to be confounded with the Hitlerite perception of the 'primitive Slav' incapable of building his own State.
To Spengler, the 'primitive peasant' is the wellspring from which a people draws its healthiest elements during its epochs of cultural vigor. Agriculture is the foundation of a High Culture, enabling stable communities to diversify labor into specialization from which Civilization proceeds.
However, according to Spengler, each people has its own soul, a conception derived from the German Idealism of Herder, Fichte et al. A High Culture reflects that soul, whether in its mathematics, music, architecture; both in the arts and the physical sciences. The Russian soul is not the same as the Western Faustian, as Spengler called it, the 'Magian' of the Arabian civilization, or the Classical of the Hellenes and Romans. The Western Culture that was imposed on Russia by Peter the Great, what Spengler called Petrinism, is a veneer. Full article can be read here

A series of dreams about the "Black Knight", Paul's 12th century Irish ancestor, begins to awaken him to this new reality and the threads connecting historical events and actors ranging from the Crusades to the Knights Templar to Queen Elizabeth and her mystical advisors to JFK and modern-day Afghanistan. The plot, based on solid historical research, centers around the Geraldine clan of Ireland whose descendants include John Fitzgerald Kennedy. While reading The Voice I experienced intuitions, dreams and synchronicities similar to those the authors wrote about. First published in 2000, The Voice is more relevant than ever in the context of current global events.
For further exploration I also recommend reading "Family of Secrets", Russ Baker's meticulously documented investigation of the Bush family and its rise to political power. According to a 2008 article in the Guardian, George Bush is a descendent of Lord Gilbert de Clare or "Strongbow", the 12th century Earl of Pembroke, whose modern-day reincarnation is the primary villain in The Voice. Also check out the authors' website grailwerk.com for more information about the philosophy and history that inspired The Voice

West Scranton bands together for "Tippy" DeNunzio
Generations of West Scranton High School students and alumni celebrated "West's biggest fan," at a benefit dinner in his honor Monday night.
Anthony "Tippy" DeNunzio, 75, the school's long-time athletic equipment manager, lost his home in a fire earlier this year. While he has found a new home at Scranton Housing Authority's Jackson High Rise apartments, West Scranton residents wanted to show their support for one of their own with a pasta dinner at Villa Maria II on Washburn Street.
State Rep. Marty Flynn, D-113, Scranton, and Lackawanna County Controller Gary DiBileo hosted the dinner. Mr. Flynn said the community wanted to "kick back in" to a person who has done so much for them over the years.
By the end of the night, organizers sold 570 dinners at $10 each and raised more than $3,000 between dinner and raffle ticket sales.
Mr. Flynn said the money will be used to help Mr. DeNunzio with his expenses.
"It's like a rainy day fund for him," Mr. Flynn said.
Mr. DeNunzio sat near the front of the banquet hall, enjoying his dinner as guests stopped to greet him and ask about his apartment and his thoughts on Invaders athletics this year.
"Everybody is nice to me," Mr. DeNunzio said. "They all treat me well."
West Scranton residents and alumni filled the tables of the banquet hall, trading stories of Mr. DeNunzio to the sound of an acoustic performance. Retired West Scranton High School coach Mike Melnick recalled all Mr. DeNunzio has given to the school.
"Tippy's one of us. This is how the people in West Side react; we take care of our own," Mr. Melnick said.
As the evening wore on and people stopped by to dine in or pick up their pasta dinners, Mr. DeNunzio approached the microphone.
"I love you all," he said.

Success Calling in Kilo 26 Camp
Mubarek, 23, repairs mobile phones in Kilo 26 refugee camp in Kassala, Eastern Sudan. In 2012, he was selected to take part in a mobile phone repair course under the Transitional Solutions Initiative (TSI) framework. Since then, Mubarek has put his valuable new skills to use to better his family's life.
Fleeing civil war in Eritrea during the 80s, Mubarek's parents found refuge in Eastern Sudan and settled in Kilo 26 camp, where Mubarak, their second son, was born. Approximately 74,000 protracted refugees live in camps in the East, 58% of whom were born in Sudan. When Mubarek and his brother reached adulthood, his family's food assistance from WFP ended, as they were no longer eligible for support with Mubarek and his brother now being of working age.
Mubarek struggled to make a living, working in farms surrounding Kilo 26 camp and a bakery. "Working in the bakery wasn't stable. I never knew if they wanted me for one, two or four days a week, and sometimes they didn't need me at all. It was so difficult to support my elderly parents and three siblings without stability." He even tried his hand at running his own shop selling sugar and soap, but despite his determination and efforts, his shop went bankrupt in the face of stiff competition.

- he TSI, implemented by UNDP and UNHCR, seeks to improve the self-sufficiency of host communities, refugees and IDPs living in a protracted situation through vocational training and business development support.
- 65% of trainees have secured employment relating to their training after graduation.
Mubarek's life changed when he was given the chance to study mobile phone repair with the Sudanese Red Crescent as part of the TSI's livelihoods intervention.
"I used to do simple repairs, but the course provided me with the technical know-how to do more complicated things. It really helped me, and I thank God I had the opportunity to take part."
The TSI, implemented by UNDP and UNHCR, seeks to improve the self-sufficiency of host communities, refugees and IDPs living in a protracted situation through vocational training and business development support. 65% of trainees have secured employment relating to their training after graduation.
On graduating, Mubarek was provided with a start- up kit to put his acquired skills into practice, and he entered into business with his older brother. Together, they rent a small shop in Kilo 26 camp where Mubarek repairs phones and his brother sells staple items. "The kit allowed me to start my own business. At the bakery, I earned around 15 SDG (US$ 2.30) a day, but now I make about 40 to 50 SDG (US$ 7-8). The course increased my income, gave me independence and improved my job security."

How to Say "School" in Japanese
If you've taken the leap and decided to learn Japanese, broadening your vocabulary is both very exciting and an excellent way to begin stringing sentences. In this article, I'll teach you how to say and write the Japanese word for school.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Understand the pronunciation. 'Gakkō' means 'school' in Japanese. This is the roomaji (English) form. The short line above the letter 'o' symbolizes a lengthening sound. In this case, 'Guk-aww'. Continue practising aloud until it sounds natural.
2Listen to a native speaker. In order to compare your pronunciation to that of a native Japanese speaker, go to http://www.bing.com/translator/ and change the settings until they resemble this:
3Compare pronunciation. After entering the word 'school' and clicking the 'translate' button, a translation and long list of dictionary examples will appear. At the bottom of the list, you will see a small, orange speaker icon, beside an equally small magnifying glass and envelope. Click the speaker and repeat as necessary.
4Grab a pen or calligraphy brush. If you are familiar with the written Japanese language, you will know that there are three separate writing systems. The 'hiragana' characters for 'Gakkō' are 'がっこう'. The 'katakana' characters, although not often used to write this word, are 'ガッコウ', and the 'kanji' characters (most common) are '学校'.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Don't be disheartened if your pronunciation does not accurately mimic that of the native speaker. Your understanding of dialect will develop as you further your skills.
- Try to use this, and every new word you learn, in a sentence. An example for 'Gakkō', in romaji, is... "Watashi wa gakkō ni ikimasu"(わたしわ学校にいきます) 'I will go to school/I go to school'. This is a very simple sentence!

I was told it was behind the driver side rear wheel, it isn't. That is true with older Kia's. This car has dual exhaust which makes it impossible. I searched all over under the car and under the hood by the firewall. The car was diagnosed be a dealer and again, asked where it was located and told in the rear of this car. How could I have missed it. On my daughters older model Kia, it is the size of a small cooler. Thank you for any help

Thuraya takes full charge of Boeing's turnkey telecom satellite
The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) Satellite Telecommunications Company Thuraya recently announced its full acceptance of a one billion dollar satellite system built by US aerospace giant Boeing, stated a press release. Thuraya thus takes full charge of the system's operations, following five years of development that included satellite manufacturing, terminal development and billing set up.
This is the first mobile integrated communication system designed by Boeing Satellite Systems with sub-contractor Hughes Network Systems. The satellite is equipped with a 12.25-meter L-band transmit-receive reflector provided by TRW Astro Aerospace.
Sharjah-based Thuraya was founded in 1997 as a consortium of regional telecom operators and international investment houses. The Thuraya-1 satellite was successfully launched on board a Sea Launch Zenit-3SL rocket in October 2000.
Thuraya's mobile telecommunications via satellite (GMPCS) system is designed to meet the regional need for mobile phone services to urban hubs as well as remote communities. Through partnership with national telecoms and mobile communications companies, Thuraya provides blanket coverage to 99 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, North and Central Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and Central Asia: a landmass inhabited by an estimated 2.3 billion people. — (menareport.com)

I have yet to have my first prenatal exam with the doctor. I hear a lot of people saying that they had a full physical exam at their first appointment. I'm just curious what that includes. How in depth do they go? Like do they just check breasts, heart and lungs, or everything from head to toe?
Physical exam at first prenatal
My Midwife did a general head to toe check up including internal exam. Skipped the Pap since it had been less than a year since my last and I have never had an abnormal pap. Now my last Dr barely examined me. for #1 they did a quick internal and that was it. #2 was just like an other wham bam thanks for waiting an hour for nothing appointment pretty much.
Janie mommy to Laurianna (5/9/07) Dominic (8/6/10) & Anthony (4/25/12)
Mine is tomorrow and it'll be an internal, pap, breast exam, check fetal h/r, heart, lungs etc. I usually get an internal for the first exam and paps if it's been more than a year.

Breast exam
And another exam up the wooha
Plus peeing in a cup.
Then i got my u/s.
With my son, the first visit included a pap even tho it had been like 6 months from the last. They can feel more about the size of stuff from inside. I will tell you no one told me they did a rectal which at 20 years old completely freaked me out! My boyfriend thought it was hilarious.. I certainly DID NOT.
Its only been 4 months since my pap.. so Im hoping theres not another one, but if there is its not like the first time Ive ever had one.. it goes with the territory..

All of the above to include a rectal because my uterus was tipped backwards. Expect the unexpected.

David Ortiz returns to Red Sox lineup after 35-game absence
|08.24.12 at 6:51 pm ET
The Red Sox are finally getting some good news, as David Ortiz is set to return to the lineup Friday night for the first time since injuring his foot on July 16. Ortiz, who was cleared to play before the game, will be batting in the cleanup spot behind Dustin Pedroia in his first game back.
His return will certainly be a welcome one for a Red Sox team that has missed his presence in the lineup. Before Ortiz injured his Achilles, the Red Sox were 46-44 and their offense produced five runs per game while slugging .441 as a team. Since the injury, the Sox have gone 13-22 and have only produced 4.6 runs per game while slugging .419.
"We struggled," said Cody Ross. "Any time you lose a player like him you are probably going to go through some tough at-bats. It's definitely nice to get him back. Just the presence of him in the lineup, the pitchers are thinking two or three batters down the line like, 'OK, we can't really pitch around this guy because two batters later I have got to face David.' Just having that in the back of their minds is huge."
Before the foot injury, Ortiz had not only been the most productive batter on the Red Sox — he had also been one of the most productive hitters in the American League. Even after missing the last 35 games, Ortiz leads all players who have at least 300 at-bats in OBP (.414), slugging percentage (.609), and OPS (1.024).
Bobby Valentine noted that while Boston missed Ortiz's bat in the lineup while he was out, the most disappointing thing about the injury was how long it took for him to be ready to return to the lineup.
"I felt the craziest thing with David was initially it didn't seem like it was going to be very long," Valentine said. "So with each passing day I think the disappointment grew a little more that we didn't have him."
The Red Sox may have him back in the lineup tonight, but his return may be too late to make any difference for the team. Boston sits 13½ games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East and 8½ games behind Baltimore for the final AL wild card spot. Still, Ortiz's return provides a spark to a team that is all but eliminated from contention in the late stages of the season.
The slugger didn't have much to say before Friday night's game, but before he left the clubhouse for batting practice, he said, "You all can sit down and enjoy the show tonight."

Words were exchanged and then gunfire erupted on Highway 70 outside of La Grange around noon today.
Lenoir County deputies say they're looking for Johnathon Garner as a person of interest in the shooting of Gregory Wooten.
Deputies say Wooten was a front seat passenger in a car headed east on Highway 70. They say a red Mazda III with a rear spoiler pulled up alongside and Wooten and the driver of the Mazda car exchanged words. Then someone in the Mazda fired several shots into the car Wooten was in. His car pulled into the Bojangles parking lot and the Mazda kept going.
Wooten, who left the area before deputies arrived, is believed to have only suffered a superficial gunshot wound.
Garner, who is 21-years-old, has a tattoo of a tear under his left eye, shoulder length dred locks, is 5'9" tall and weighs 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black ball cap with a red bill.

The Red Cross workers staffing the center were busy, but there were at least a dozen volunteers literally sitting around waiting to be dispatched to help at shelters and other places. Some had been waiting for days since the Oct. 29 storm created deadly fires and floods on the East Coast.
The delay might not have been all the fault of the Red Cross. Some people at the center were saying that they were waiting for clearance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to deploy to the shelters.
Regardless, volunteers eager to help were idle when storm victims were in need of assistance.
The volunteers included a team of five from Southern California Edison, which has a partnership with the Red Cross called Prepare SoCal. Edison International gave the Red Cross $1.5 million for a three-year relationship in which the organizations will work together to prepare Southern Californians for the next devastating earthquake -- a disaster that likely would cause the same problems as Sandy victims are dealing with -- loss of transportation, communication, food, water and shelter.
Inland Empire resident Melissa Amador, 35, is on the Edison team embedded with the Red Cross. Amador oversees the major philanthropic endeavors for Southern California Edison. She said he is taking notes on what is working well as far as providing assistance to storm victims and will report back to Edison on what could work after an earthquake.

my LeafGreen pokédex was fully completed years before Soul Silver was release
I am SO hoping for Ruby & Sapphire remakes, the Hoenn games are by far my favourite of any pokémon!!
If there had to be a good reason, I'd have to say it was down to the sheer amount of things to do outside of just battling... making a good battling set & a good Contest set was a great challenge. Let's not forget the pokémon it gave us, Wingull, Blaziken, Gardevoir and let us not forget the glory that is SECRET BASES!!!!!!!
I think it's finally time for Ruby & Sapphire to return now that pokémon has arrived on 3DS, finally Gamefreak have the power to make the game as it really should be made, deep, rich and revolutionary!

Mystery is over about Bucks' workouts
By now, any mystery among players about the Bucks' pre-draft workouts should be gone.
When University of Wisconsin guard Trevon Hughes visited the Bucks' training center earlier this week for a pre-draft workout, he said that he really wasn't sure what to expect during his visit.
But Hughes, along with the other 11 prospects who worked out here, quickly found out that the Bucks put the players through a very competitive and intense workout. Word on that should be out on the players' grapevine by now so that those who plan on working out with the Bucks in the future should know a little bit more about what to expect.
"We put them in as many competitive situations as possible," said Bucks assistant general manger Jeff Weltman. "Obviously, skills are skills and we're only allowed to have three-on-three maximum (since teams are only allowed to bring in six players at a time) so we can only do so much.
"But we try to do everything competitively so whether it's a shooting drill or a ball-handling drill, we keep score and see how they get after each other."
Some of the prospects had worked out elsewhere before coming here, but said that the Bucks' session was as intense as any they had previously encountered.
Fresno State sophomore Paul George had worked out with the Bulls before coming to Milwaukee.
"This one was tougher," he said. "It was a lot more transition. But it was pretty similar as far as competition. We competed pretty hard. There were some pretty decent players at both of them."
Tyren Johnson, a senior from Louisiana-Lafayette, said, "It was my fifth workout and the hardest one by far. We competed hard."
Some of the prospects were surprised by some of the things the Bucks had them doing.
"It was my sixth workout," said Jeremy Wise who played with Bakersfield of the D-League last season. "It was about the toughest one I had. The different stuff we had to do, like the jumping rope, I've never done that."
The Bucks haven't announced when they will conduct their next pre-draft workouts and they aren't sure how many players they will bring in prior to the draft since agents only allow their players to work out for certain teams.
But the Bucks plan on looking at as many players as possible.
"A lot of that obviously is up to the agents and that's the little dance that we all play, trying to get as many kids as we can to visit us and get to know them in depth," said Weltman.
Not that the Bucks plan on going public with their opinions of players.
"I don't want to get into discussing individual players and what they need to work on and that sort of stuff because that's Milwaukee Bucks' information," said Weltman. "I'm sure each team will have its own idea about what (the players) need to work on.
"The purpose of doing (the workouts) is for us to refine our opinions on guys and get to know them better."

43 minutes into the Premier League game between Fulham and Manchester United a reported blown fuse plunged Craven Cottage into darkness.
While the players waited in the middle of the pitch, and then retreated to the changing rooms, amused fans whipped out their cameraphones and tried to capture the scene.
And in the light of the flashes, the result was actually rather charming, as the video shows.
After a 12-minute delay the match did resume – for just a couple of minutes until the half-time whistle arrived, and then again as normal and without further incident in the second half.
Manchester United went on to win the game 1-0 and cement their lead at the top of the table.

Recent Warm Weather (above 35°F) Sleeping Bag Reviews
Liberty Mountain Peregrine Saker 35
This synthetic bag is very light and compressible and has some nice features for an extremely reasonable price point First off, I have absolutely no idea why it is so hard to find reviews on this bag. This bag really is a great synthetic option and I can't understand why there is such limited information about it! There is the constant battle of synthetic vs down. Weight vs comfort. How compressible is it vs. how durable it is and so on. Well personally I think the Peregrine Saker 35 is a solution… Full review
Marmot NanoWave 45
Economical, compact, light summer bag. Purchased this bag in a regular size as it was all they had at the local store. Reg fits to 6'0" which is an inch shorter than me, but it's still a workable length. Small girth bag (60"/152cm), don't expect lots of room to move around in. Very tight to get in and out of. I was in about 45°F/7°C temps overnight at 6,000'. With fleece pants and a long sleeved light shirt I was very comfortable. Not much loft, so the bag packs down very small and is very light… Full review
Columbia Reactor 35 Mummy
This is a great low-price synthetic bag for summer and early fall hiking. The "Omni-Heat" reflective dots do a great job of capturing body heat while the "Omni-Shield" 30D nylon shell blocks wind. A nearly full-length double zipper allows you to quickly and easily adjust the bag for optimum comfort in varying weather. I originally picked up the Columbia Reactor 35 as a backup bag when the airline lost my pack and we weren't certain we'd be able to intercept it on our way into the woods. In the end,… Full review
High Peak E-Z Pak 1000
The High Peak E-Z Pak 1000 is a very good, well built, warm weather sleeping bag if you are big enough to fill it up. The construction quality, price, features, and durability are excellent, but the temperature rating is very optimistic. I recommend this sleeping bag only to the "big and tall" crowd. Words to the wise to start; First of all... ALWAYS use a sleeping bag liner! A sleeping bag is an investment—usually an expensive investment. The insulation in a sleeping bag, whether down or synthetic,… Full review
Deuter DreamLite 500
I can't believe that someone hasn't already reviewed this sleeping bag! These are my GO-TO warm weather bags, and the ones I use more than any of the others! I have two (2) of these bags, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lightweight, warm weather only sleeping bag! This is the color scheme of the bags that I own. Mine don't look quite as tapered as the manufacturer's stock photo. And mine are not quite as "pretty" anymore, either! Lol. BUT, I purchased these bags in May of 2010,… Full review
Marmot Aspen 40 Ultralight
Needed to cut down on weight for summer backpacking and this was the answer. Very light, packs down to the size of a grapefruit, and really does the job. I realize that this was a Dick's Sport exclusive, but it still has the Marmot name and built in quality. The stitching is excellent and keeps the down in place. I'm 5'11" and 200 pounds. The bag has plenty of room in the hips and shoulders and a squarer foot box than my 3-season bag. I like to toss and turn, so this was perfect. The exterior… Full review
Western Mountaineering Everlite 45
Great lightweight, adaptable bag. I've used it by itself in warm and muggy summer camping in Northwest Arkansas and in the Black Hills on very cool nights. Love it! I bought this bag in preparation for a week in the Black Hills, South Dakota. It's my first down bag of any weight and I couldn't wait to use it so I snuck away for a weekend in the heat and humidity of Northwest AR. For the first night I really didn't need it till 2-3 a.m. and just used it unzipped as a blanket which it was perfect… Full review
The North Face Lynx
Packs down to less than a volleyball in size. Comes with compression sack. Warm even below its rating (35 degrees). Great summer bag. This is a good entry level summer bag for the hiker looking to get out into the woods w/o the 450 dollar bag, 500 dollar tent and 300 dollar backpack. Compresses to a respectable size. Allows you to go into the woods with a 50l pack given you have the right clothing and shelter. I would buy it again. Full review
Western Mountaineering HighLite
I absolutely love my HighLite! I call it my cloud because that is what it feels like you are sleeping in :). I think the temperature rating is accurate — I sleep a little cold so I wear extra socks and clothes to bed but works well for my section hikes on the AT. It's amazingly light and packs down so small in a compression sack. When removed from the compression sack it regains all loft with a few shakes. I got the 5'6" size which works great for a petite woman. The HighLite is well made, in… Full review

A dog's bark is often worse than its bite, but not if that dog has rabies.
Since February in Thomas County, there have been 28 dog bites, 14 cat bites and one raccoon bite that tested positive for rabies.
Carol Jones, Executive Director of the Thomasville Humane Society, says, "This could be a serious problem if the animals had not been vaccinated and had contracted rabies."
That's why the Thomasville Humane Society, Thomas County Health Department and local veterinarians will be holding rabies clinics in Thomasville and other surrounding towns this Saturday.
Carol Jones says, "We just want to ensure that it does not become a problem and that the public can come out on Saturday and get rabies vaccinations at special costs."
In order to protect yourself, your pet, and abide by the law, pets must be vaccinated against rabies every year. It will only cost $10 to vaccinate one animal, $9 for two, and if you bring three or more pets, it will cost $8 each, a small price to pay when any warm-blooded animal can have rabies, including humans.
Dr. Leon Young, a veterinarian, says, "When we have human exposure, rabies is a problem because you are not able to treat rabies like you do other diseases. Once you have it, you usually die with it."
The rabies clinic is an annual event that dates back to the 1940s.

The Psychology Department teaches students about theories and research concerning many areas of psychology and provides students with opportunities to use and apply this knowledge. After taking an introductory course, students choose from an array of topics spanning the breadth of psychology, as well as advanced courses that allow them to pursue more specific interests. Central to the major is education about the process of doing research, which is facilitated by a variety of courses that prepare students to design, conduct, and present their own research project during the senior year. Opportunities for research are also supported by our active faculty and by excellent laboratory facilities for human and animal projects. Opportunities for applying one's knowledge in other ways also abound, through opportunities to pursue a variety of types of internships both in the Galesburg area and around the nation.
All of these experiences as a psychology major help improve students' abilities to think critically and systematically, to write and speak clearly, to access and evaluate information, to formulate interesting questions, and to answer those questions in a scientific manner.
Because psychology focuses on understanding the basics of brain, mind, and behavior through a scientific approach, majors are well-positioned to pursue careers in a variety of different fields. Many of our students pursue graduate school in order to sharpen their research skills or to become clinicians, counselors, and social workers. Others have found psychology to be excellent preparation for careers in law, business, and education.
The departmental curriculum contributes to the College's Key Competency Requirements as follows:

It seems as if, for most of the medical community today, the question is not if a patient is suited for statin use, but "How soon can we get you on them?" It's hardly hyperbole: According to statistics from the 2005–2008 government health survey, approximately 32 million Americans were taking a statin drug. This roughly equals the populations of Florida and Illinois combined.
With such a heavy emphasis on supplements and nutrition today in sports, it is important for athletes to understand their specific needs. These needs vary across a wide range of sports and topics.

We all know that fussy child who has refused to eat anything but chicken nuggets for weeks on end. "It's a phase," her parents say. "She'll grow out of it soon." They're right to a certain extent. All children go through some amount of "stranger danger" with foods, not wanting to eat anything but a few familiar items. Too many kids—from the very young to teenagers—never learn to eat a balanced diet, however.
Washington, D.C.—American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) President Michael McGuffin met with the staff of Senator Richard Durbin, (D-IL) on July 13, addressing the senator's about the dietary supplement industry's compliance with the federal regulated current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs).

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
