Asking someone to pay attention to safety during busy spring fieldwork usually falls on deaf ears. Hardly anyone listens. So rather than try to warn you of the dangers of being around farm equipment this spring when you're in a hurry and dead tired, I'm going to let a row-crop farmer from Baldwin Country, AL, tell his story.
Dear Mr. Lamp:
My name is Eric Streetand I readmost every issue of Corn & Soybean Digest.My reason for e-mailing you is abouta farm accident thatI was involved with in 1998.
In short, my friend Gee and I were greenchopping grass for my dairy cowsinto a self-feeding wagon. When I finished filling the wagon we had to unhook it and transport it a couple of miles back to the main farm. In the processof unhooking the wagon and pulling the greenchopping tractor out of the way, I ran over my friend with the wagon and crushed him to death.
I did not e-mail you to bring you or anybody who may read this down. My reason for contacting you is because of whatwe are facing as farmers in this upcoming growing season.
With the commodity markets the way they are, we farmers will be more anxious than ever to get ourwork done in a timely manner. Obviously, when there's haste there sometimes comes accidents, andI would not wish the guilt or hardship I've gone through on anyone.
I'm not sure my story will help anybody or prevent any accidents, but it might make someonemore aware ofhowquickly life can be lost orharmed in agriculture.
I share my storywith you in hopes that you will share it with yourCorn & Soybean Digest readers.My intentions are pure, but I want everyone to know life is veryprecious and we need to preserveit the best way we can.
Whenmy accident happenedI didn't thinkwe were being careless. My friend was alive and talking in thetractor with me one minute – the next he was dead.
If I can be of any help to you or your readers, please feel free to contact me at 251-610-8645 or e-mail email@example.com.
How could anyone say it any better? Be careful out there this spring so you don't have to tell a story like Eric Street's.

As the talk about Ben Wallace returning to Detroit grows, I'd like to take a look at some of his past teams and career. This could be Ben's homecoming, back to the place where he was an All-Star and an NBA Champion.
I for one, as a Pistons fan, would love to have Wallace back in Detroit, where he can end his career. It would be a good end to a great career. I would hope every other fan would welcome him back.
So enough talk, let's take a look at his younger days as he moved from team to team. Enjoy the slide!

Home » News - FETC 20 Jan 2012
The Minister for Roads, Duncan Gay, and the operators of the Hills M2 and Eastern Distributor motorways have announced the conversion of both motorways to cashless operations on 30 January 2012.
The motorways will convert to cashless tolling at 12.01am (one minute past midnight on 29 January).
This means a simpler, easier and safer journey for motorists, as well as reducing the impact of vehicle noise and emissions on residents.
Expect some changes to normal driving conditions from 30 January. Motorists are advised to drive with care and to follow the signs.
A valid payment arrangement can be made up to 48 hours following the first trip on any of Sydney's motorways.
The conversion to cashless operations will also reduce the impacts of emissions and vehicle noise on local residents by reducing need to stop and restart driving conditions, with braking and accelerating.
Motorists should expect changes to normal traffic conditions on both motorways. These changes will involve lane realignments and changes to speed limits.
Motorists are advised to plan ahead, drive with care and follow the signs.
On the Hills M2, an interim arrangement involving changed traffic conditions will be in place during the construction of the Hills M2 Upgrade. Changes to normal traffic conditions will take place at the main toll plaza and Pennant Hills Road toll plazas:
On the Eastern Distributor, the removal of cash facilities will allow the sign-posted speeds through tolling points to be lifted to 60km/h helping to reduce travel times for motorists.
Motorists are reminded to be aware and drive with care.

Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis
Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC, also erroneously called Fahr disease) is characterized by the accumulation of calcium deposits in different brain regions, particularly the basal ganglia and dentate nucleus, and is often associated with neurodegeneration.
The prevalence of BSPDC is not known, however it is very rare and fewer than 200 cases have been reported. BSPDC is more common in men (male:female ratio 2:1).
BSPCD can be asymptomatic. Symptomatic forms usually manifest in the fourth decade of life, whereas calcification may be found in the second decade. Patients present with progressive movement disorders, including parkinsonism, chorea, tremor, dystonia, athetosis and orofacial dyskinesia, ataxia and neuropsychiatric disorders including difficultly with concentration and memory, personality and/or behavior changes, and dementia. The first manifestations often include clumsiness, fatigability, unsteady gait, slow or slurred speech, dysphagia, involuntary movements or muscle cramping. Seizures occur frequently. Urinary incontinence may occur.
The causative gene or genes are not known. Linkage to chromosome 14q has been established in one family. Calcium is the major element deposited on the basal ganglia and accounts for the radiologic appearance of the disease. It is thought that the calcifications observed are a marker of the disease rather than a cause of the clinical symptoms.
Single proton emission computed tomography (SPECT) reveals markedly decreased perfusion to the basal ganglia bilaterally with decreased perfusion to the cerebral cortices. Diagnosis is based on CT or MRI evidence of bilateral, almost symmetric, calcifications of one or more of the following areas: basal ganglia, dentate nuclei, thalamus and cerebral white matter. Diagnosis is further based on normal childhood growth and development and the absence of parathyroid or other known neurologic disorders. Electroencephalogram, nerve conduction studies, and pattern shift visual-evoked potentials studies are usually normal and brainstem auditory-evoked potentials may vary from normal to minor abnormalities.
Differential diagnoses include hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism, which can usually be excluded by normal serum levels of parathyroid hormone, Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 1, neurodegeneration with iron accumulation, Cockayne syndrome and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (see these terms).
Genetic counseling may be offered.However, there is currently no possibility of antenatal diagnosis.
It can be familial or sporadic. Over 30 families with the familial form have been reported. The familial form of idiopathic basal ganglia calcification is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
There is no specific treatment available. Treatment based on amelioration of manifestations, including pharmacologic treatment for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors and dystonia, may be attempted.
Prognosis is not fully understood due to a lack of longitudinal studies. However, while asymptomatic cases have been observed in individuals younger than 25 years old, it is possible that symptoms may appear with increasing age.

What Do Corruption Indices Measure?
Dilyan Donchev
Institute for Quantitative Social Science; World Bank Group, International Finance Corporation (IFC), Economics
Gergely Ujhelyi
University of Houston - Department of Economics
August 13, 2009
Evidence from the International Crime Victimization Survey and the World Business Environment Survey suggests that actual corruption experience is a weak predictor of reported corruption perception, and that some of the factors commonly found to "reduce" corruption, such as economic development, democratic institutions or Protestant traditions, systematically bias corruption perception indices downward from corruption experience. In addition, perception indices are influenced by absolute (as opposed to relative) levels of corruption, which tends to penalize large countries, and they exhibit diminishing sensitivity to both absolute and relative corruption, indicating that they may better capture differences among countries with low levels of corruption than among highly corrupt ones. Individual characteristics, such as education, age, income, and employment status are also found to influence corruption perceptions holding experience constant.

TEHRAN, Iran -- A Russian-made Iranian passenger plane carrying nearly 170 people crashed shortly after takeoff Wednesday, smashing into a field northwest of the capital and shattering to pieces. State television said all on board were killed.
The plane's tail burst into flames in the air and the aircraft circled as if looking for a place to land before it crashed, an unidentified witness told the semi-official ISNA news agency.
The impact gouged a deep trench in the dirt field, which was littered with smoking wreckage and body parts, according to photos from the scene. Footage aired on state TV showed a large chunk of a wing, but much of the wreckage appeared to be in small shreds, and emergency workers and witnesses picked around the shredded metal for bodies and flight data recorders to determine the cause of the crash.
The Caspian Airlines Tupolev jet had taken off from Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport Wednesday and was headed to the Armenian capital Yerevan. It crashed about 16 minutes after takeoff near the village of Jannat Abad outside the city of Qazvin, around 75 miles northwest of Tehran, civil aviation spokesman Reza Jaafarzadeh told state media.
At Yerevan's airport, Tina Karapetian, 45, said she had been waiting for her sister and the sister's 6- and 11-year-old sons, who were due on the flight. "What will I do without them?" she said, weeping, before she collapsed to the floor.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known, but Iran has frequent crashes that are blamed on poor maintenance of its aging fleet. Hossein Ayaznia, an aviation police official, said emergency workers were searching for the plane's black box.
The deputy chairman of Armenia's civil aviation authority Arsen Pogosian told reporters in Yerevan there were 154 passengers and 15 crewmembers on board the TU-154M. Earlier, Jaafarzadeh had put the number at 153 passengers and 15 crew, and the reason for the discrepancy was not immediately known.
Six Armenian citizens and two Georgian citizens were on the flight, and the rest were likely Iranians, Pogosian said.
Serob Karapetian, the chief of Yerevan airport's aviation security service, said the plane may have attempted an emergency landing, but reports that it caught fire in the air were "only one version." He did not elaborate.
Qazvin emergency services director Hossein Bahzadpour told the IRNA news agency that the plane was completely destroyed and shattered the pieces. "It is highly likely that all the passengers on the flight were killed," he said.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a statement expressing condolences for the deaths and urging a swift investigation of the cause.
Also among the passengers were eight members of Iran's national youth judo team, along with two trainers and a delegation chief, who were scheduled to train with the Armenian judo team before attending competitions in Hungary on Aug. 6, state TV said.
Tehran blames the maintenance woes of its airlines in part on U.S. sanctions that prevent Iran from getting spare parts for some planes. However, Caspian Airlines - an Iranian-Russian joint venture founded in 1993 - uses Russian-made Tupolevs whose maintenance would be less impaired by American sanctions.
In February 2006, a Russian-made TU-154 operated by Iran Airtour, which is affiliated with Iran's national carrier, crashed during landing in Tehran, killing 29 of the 148 people on board. Another Airtour Tupolev crashed in 2002 in the mountains of western Iran, killing all 199 on board.
The crashes have also affected Iran's military. In December 2005, 115 people were killed when a U.S.-made C-130 plane, crashed into a 10-story building near Tehran's Mehrabad airport. In Nov. 2007, a Russian-made Iranian military plane crashed shortly after takeoff killing 36 members of the elite Revolutionary Guards.

Long before the Harrisburg City Islanders wrapped up Monday's practice and began packing for their two-game western swing, Bill Becher's outfit didn't need any reminders about how difficult this trip was going to be.
Not even a subtle hint.
And while Saturday's scrap with the Los Angeles Blues will be put on hold — for at least another 24 hours or so — Wednesday night's encounter against a first-year Phoenix side has the City Islanders' complete attention.
Especially since the Wolves gave Becher's club fits at Skyline Sports Complex in late June before falling 2-1.
Plus, Charleston has wheeled to within one point of the third-place City Islanders.
Kickoff at City of Phoenix's Reach 11 Sports Complex is set for 10:30 p.m.
"I thought when we played them, I thought they were good," Becher said. "When you look at their record, it's pretty misleading. I thought they were very good when we played them.
"They had a tough game against Charleston and then came out and got a great result against Charlotte."
While Phoenix was dropping a 5-1 decision last Wednesday night at Charleston as the City Islanders were busy polishing off Dayton 5-1, the Wolves rebounded Saturday by spanking Charlotte 4-0.
And for a Harrisburg squad that's hoping to put its collective mitts around one of USL PRO's eight postseason invites — a victory at Los Angeles will get the City Islanders there, while a western sweep could keep them in line for much more — the general idea is to keep things rolling by building on last Wednesday's effective effort.
Plus, the City Islanders enjoyed a timely four-day respite before resuming practice on Monday to prep for their western swing.
First stop? Phoenix.
"We've kind of put ourselves in a good spot where we think we're in the playoffs," said first-year midfielder/defender Matt Bahner, who picked up his first professional point last Wednesday with an assist on Lucky Mkosana's second goal. "Now it's just what seed do we want to get? Right now we're definitely looking for top four, if not top two.
"So, coming back [Monday] and getting our work in and getting back in gear again, it's definitely going to be a tough road trip just with the length of it. It should be fun. I think it'll definitely help that instead of playing back-to-back, we've got a few days in between games.
"We're definitely looking to get results."
Getting finishes from Yann Ekra and Sainey Touray — the latter snapping a deadlock in the 73rd minute — the City Islanders collared the first scrap between these sides 2-1 on June 28 at Skyline Sports Complex.
Touray also assisted on Ekra's first-half score, while Tom Mellor set up the game-winning goal with a curling ball into the penalty area from the left wing.
Isaiah Schafer, with help from Reid Schmitt, pulled the Wolves into a 1-all situation in the 36th minute.
Nick Noble made two saves for the City Islanders, who were closing out a five-game homestand. Sheldon Parkinson also made two saves for a feisty Phoenix side.
Eight cautions were assessed during the 90-minute exercise, with five of them tagged to City Islanders personnel.
* The third-place City Islanders (12-9-1 overall, 12-8-1 in USL PRO) crunched Dayton a week ago, riding three goals from Mkosana and one each from Stephen Basso and Jimmy McLaughlin to a 5-1 triumph. Noble made four saves, including two reaction stops late in the first half that kept the game 1-1 until Basso connected just before the break.
* Sainey Touray (hamstring), who missed both of the Florida scraps and last weekend's scrap with Dayton, made the trip west and is expected to dress and play. Defender Damani Richards, who had several abdominal tears repaired last month, has returned to practice and could play. Defender Greg Jordan (knee), out since the June 8 loss to the Colorado Rapids Reserves, will not play. Midfielder/defender Tom Brandt (hamstring) remains out, while winger Antonio Bua (personal) did not make the trip.
* Despite his recent layoff, Touray already has established career highs in points (27) and finishes (11). Those numbers are the second-highest, single-season totals in Harrisburg history. Mkosana (8g, 2a), Yann Ekra (4g, 3a), Morgan Langley (4g, 3a), Cristhian Hernandez (3g, 4a) and McLaughlin (5g, 0a) are the other City Islanders who have racked up 10 or more points.
* Mkosana, the reigning USL PRO player of the week who also connected in both Florida outings, will carry a three-game goal-scoring streak into Wednesday's contest. Mkosana netted 16 points last season — he has 18 right now — on seven goals and two assists. The 25-year-old Zimbabwe native ranks fifth on Harrisburg's all-time goal-scoring list, one behind Moffat Oduor and Steve Fisher. Touray, with 21 finishes, is No. 2 all-time.
* Basso (2g, 0a) and Aaron Wheeler (2g, 2a) — Wheeler has made four appearances for the City Islanders on loan from Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union — are the others with multiple finishes for a Harrisburg team that's had 13 players locate the back of the net. Only Los Angeles (46) and Orlando (45) have pocketed as many scores as Becher's City Islanders (45), the highest-scoring outfit in Harrisburg's 10-season history. While the 2005 City Islanders pocketed 43 goals in 20 games, this year's group surpassed that number in their 21st outing (last week's win over Dayton).
* With a clean sheet on July 19 at Tampa Bay, Noble pocketed his 13th shutout in a Harrisburg uniform, tying him with Chase Harrison for the franchise's all-time lead in that category. Noble (12-8-1, 1.428 GAA, 85 saves), who posted a season-high nine saves in his triumph at Tampa Bay, has five shutouts.
* The City Islanders and league-leading Richmond are the only USL PRO teams that own six road victories.
* After playing Saturday night at Los Angeles, the City Islanders will return home to Skyline Sports Complex to face Charlotte (next Wednesday) and Tampa Bay (Aug. 10).
* Closing out the road portion of USL PRO campaign No. 1, Phoenix clocked Charlotte 4-0 on Saturday night in North Carolina. David Paul made his first appearance a memorable one, scoring twice. Donny Toia and Cameron Vickers also connected for the Wolves, while Neal Kitson pitched his first shutout (9 saves) since signing on earlier in the month.
* Phoenix remains mathematically alive for one of USL PRO's eight postseason invites, but just barely. In other words, the Wolves must win out and hope for plenty of help that's not likely to arrive.
* Since losing to the City Islanders, Phoenix (5-12-7 overall, 5-11-7 in USL PRO) has gone 3-1-2. The expansion Wolves have played effectively at home — they'll close out the season with a three-game homestand that begins Wednesday night — compiling a 4-2-5 record. While Phoenix has scored 13 times at home, the Wolves have conceded 12 scores.
* Sporting a balanced attack that's had difficulty finding the back of the net throughout the season, Phoenix is led by Toia's 10 points (4g, 2a). Tommy Ramos (4g, 0a) and Scott Morrison (3g, 2a), who did not play against the City Islanders in June, are next with eight.
* Since signing on with Phoenix earlier this month, former Rochester Rhinos keeper Kitson (1-1-1, 2.333 GAA, 20 saves) has become the Wolves' regular netminder.
* Originally scheduled for Thursday night at Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium, the City Islanders-Phoenix match was pushed up one night since MLS' Los Angeles Galaxy and world power Real Madrid were ticketed for University of Phoenix Stadium (home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals). In addition to the date change, the venue for Wednesday night's tussle was switched (reportedly for financial reasons) to the City of Phoenix's Reach 11 Sports Complex.

RALEIGH, N.C. — David Clarkson had trouble comprehending what he had accomplished.
For any NHL player, 30 goals is a superb season. For the gritty winger, whose previous high was 17 in 2008-09, it was a special night.
"It really hasn't hit me yet, I don't think," Clarkson said tonight after the Devils beat the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-0, to clinch a playoff spot. "If I told you I thought last summer that it would happen, I'd be lying. I've had a lot of great linemates. Getting the win and clinching is the big part, but to be able to do that is good.
"I said I never thought I would play in the NHL. To score 30 goals means quite a bit."
Coach Pete DeBoer said: "It's a great accomplishment for him. In today's day and age, to score 30 goals in this league is not an easy thing to do. It puts him in elite company.
"The nice thing about him is it's not even the best part of his game. The best part of his game, for me, is his physical play and the way he agitates and how hard he is on the puck and in the corners. When you have a guy like that who can also put 30 goals on the board, it's a nice bonus."
Even buddy Martin Brodeur, who regularly zings Clarkson, had words of praise.
"I was real happy. It's definitely well-deserved," Brodeur said. "He's scored a lot of big goals for us. Goals that are important for a hockey team. He got stuck at 28 for a little while. It's nice he's got two goal in the last two games.
"Thirty is a lot, especially for him. I had to say that. I couldn't be nice all the time."
Clarkson's goal was his seventh game-winner. That leads the team.
"I should've just let one in," Brodeur joked.
That would've given Ilya Kovalchuk the winner.
Told about Brodeur's comment, Clarkson said: "I believe that."

Blaupunkt??? While I do like their equipment, there are TONS of other brands I would call Premium before them, they don't make anything in the range of high end Clarion, Pioneer Premier, Kenwood Excelon, Eclipse, etc etc....

text: My first MAF run about 6 weeks ago was an ego crusher - faster than a shuffle, more like a very, very easy jog. Everyone was passing me. I have stuck with it pretty well rarely going over the MAF heart rate for my age. In my two benchmark runs a month apart, I actually was slower on the second. Wtf? I definitely agree that the runs are very contemplative now that I am not trying to work myself into a lather.

Lancaster woman drowns in Maryland
Tide took victim away from boat
UPDATED 2:39 PM EDT Jun 24, 2013
A Lancaster woman died in Maryland over the weekend.
Nancy Rogers, 75, was boating with her husband near Turkey Point in the Chesapeake Bay, according to a Maryland Natural Resources officer.
The officer said she decided to go swimming Saturday evening and the tide took her away from her boat and she could not get back.
Rogers struggled, lost consciousness, and was picked up by a nearby boater who performed CPR, according to the officer.
Rogers later died at a hospital.

It was just about a week ago when the Falcons parted ways with second year corner back Dominique Franks. It was a bit of a head-scratcher because many thought he would be our punt returner and thought that he had a lot of upside at corner.
Franks is back with the Falcons
In a strange twist of fortunes the Falcons cut Tim Toone. Toone was a surprise to make the team and according to Atlantafalcons.com was cut due to an injury. That paved the way for the return of Franks to the Falcons. Franks had worked out for a few teams but had yet to sign with anyone before he was called back by the Falcons.
It's good to have Franks back in the fold as he's definitely a talented guy and I think he's our best option right now at punt returner. The issue this brings up with the loss of Toone is that the Falcons now have only four Wide Receivers on their roster (Julio Jones, Roddy White, Harry Douglas and Kevin Cone). I'm not sure if the Falcons will make a move before the game but carrying just four wide receivers (and six cornerbacks) is interesting. I would expect a move at some point to even that out a bit.

Kamal Saleem Says 'Terrorism Will Be Legal' if Immigration Reform Passes; 'We'll be Wearing Ragheads'
Last week's Awakening 2012 conference included a panel on Islam featuring Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, John Stemberger of the Florida Family Policy Council and Kamal Saleem, the phony "ex-terrorist" who has been making the rounds on Religious Right events and television programs telling his bogus, discredited backstory.
While some panelists at the Awakening criticized the GOP's anti-immigrant stance, Saleem maintained that immigration reform is actually a plot to have "all the illegal Muslims will be legalized here" and consequently, "terrorism will be legal." Saleem accused President Obama of "sending millions to Hamas to import Muslim people" to the U.S. as part of a Muslim Brotherhood plot. Later in the panel, Saleem warned, "This world will become past tense and one day we'll be wearing ragheads."
The immigration bill is not against the Hispanic, per se, many people think it's against the Hispanic, no, it's not, on the contrary, our President is sending millions to Hamas to import Muslim people to United States of America. If that law passed—yes mam, check your media, Google that, he just sent $23 million dollars to Hamas recently to Hamas, just this year, we're about to bankrupt and he sent the money to Muslims—so what happened is he's trying to import them to United States of America to throw the power of conservatism and the Church out, you know God's people, so what happens is they will become the upper hand or the equal hand. Because if you read the Muslim Brotherhood theology and their memorandum that they came to destroy United States of America with, is to populate United States of America with a multitude of millions of Muslims. So what happened is, when they are here, the Sharia law will, what happened when he allowed in the name of the Hispanic people, Mexican people, 'let's make them American,' now all the illegal Muslims will be legalized here and terrorism will be legal in United States of America.
It's time to make our voices known and time to stand up straight and fight for it because ultimately, the whole word just like my brother Frank [Gaffney] said, this world will become past tense and one day we'll be wearing ragheads and walking on the street and everybody will say, 'that used to be a Christian country where Islam conquered.'

It was almost the perfect start to the 2012 season for Valencia boys volleyball.
But what appeared to be an easy win over CIF-Southern Section Division I seventh-ranked Thousand Oaks turned into a 3-2 loss on Wednesday at Valencia High School.
After winning the first two games 25-20, 25-23 Vikings couldn't close out the third game, nor could they recapture momentum.
Thousand Oaks won the next three games 26-24, 25-19 and 15-12 to beat Valencia, ranked fourth in the CIF-SS Division II preseason poll.
"We had them on the ropes in that third game," said Valencia head coach Kevin Kornegay. "I guess the lesson is when you have your foot on their throat, you've got to finish them off."
In the pivotal game three, Valencia (0-1) took a 24-22 lead with two match-point opportunities.
The lead was built largely thanks to returning senior outside hitter Eric Ensing, who landed 19 of his match-high 23 kills in the first three games.
But a missed serve, two missed hits and a kill by middle blocker David Meuschke helped the Lancers rattle off four straight points to take the game.
After that, it was tough sledding for Valencia.
"We kind of hung back and didn't go strong into the third and fourth games and we just couldn't get the momentum back," Ensing said.
The 6-foot, 7-inch senior was the only Viking players to tally more than five kills and he presented problems for Thousand Oaks (1-0) defensively with his powerful attacks.
Eventually though, the Lancers adjusted their block and limited Ensing just enough.
"We tried to key on him and know where he was on the court at all times," said Thousand Oaks head coach Seth Burnham of Ensing.
For the Lancers, Jason Avina led the way with 19 kills, but Valencia's strong play at the net kept Thousand Oaks hitters under control.
Seniors Austin Csiszar and Daniel Salovich played well in the middle for Valencia, adding five kills apiece. Csiszar finished with five blocks.
As a team, the Vikings served well early on, but mistakes of all kinds started piling up in the fourth and fifth games.
Thousand Oaks capitalized on serving and hitting errors as well as rotation and net violations by Valencia.
"It's a game of momentum, volleyball is. It's a game of mistakes," Kornegay said. "They did a good job taking advantage of a lot of ours."
The Lancers built a 20-12 lead in the fourth game and held off a late Valencia rally.
In the fifth game, Thousand Oaks once again built a quick lead, 10-4, behind strong play from its middle blockers.
The Vikings answered back with a 7-2 run to get within one at 12-11, but a few too many hits sailed too far.
Valencia senior Griffin Ender ended up with 10 digs and setter Jake Ferry finished with 33 assists.
For the experienced Valencia team, a tough preleague schedule continues on Wednesday at home against Division I No. 6-ranked Westlake High.

He died of prostate cancer, according to the Associated Press citing a statement from his family released by Marcia Newberger, spokeswoman for The Griffin Group/Merv Griffin Entertainment.
Griffin, who was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996, was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for a recurrence of the disease, it was reported on July 18.
A former band singer from San Mateo, Calif., Griffin – who as a chubby young man was nicknamed "Buddy" – had his first hit with the novelty song, "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts."
His longtime TV career was launched in the '50s with variety-show appearances that eventually culminated in the 1965 launch of his syndicated Merv Griffin Show, versions of which ran until 1986.
During the '70s, he invented and produced the popular game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune – which by 1986 made him a very rich man when he sold his company to Columbia Pictures Television for $250 million.
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajack issued the following statement on Sunday about Griffin: "The loss of a dear friend has made it difficult to focus on Merv's enormous contribution to the world of entertainment. That will come in time; for now, like his family and so many of his close friends, I'm dealing with deep sadness and the realization that I will never hear that wonderful laugh of his again. He meant so much to my life, and it's hard to imagine it without him."
After making his fortune in TV, Griffin invested in hotel and casino properties and became a magnate, even publicly battling Trump over some Atlantic City and Bahamas properties in the 1980s.
But it was his popular talk show that made him a household name and role model for such later hosts as Rosie O'Donnell (when she first had her talk show) and Ellen DeGeneres, whose easy-going styles and softball questions have often been likened to Griffin's.
Griffin, who was divorced from ex-wife Julann Griffin, is survived by a son, Tony Griffin, a daughter-in-law Tricia, and two grandchildren, Farah and Donovan Mervyn.
On his production company's Web site, which says he hosted 5,500 shows and interviewed more than 25,000 guests in more than 23 years, Merv Griffin is quoted as saying, "I'm a very lucky guy. My life is never boring. I treat my professional life the same way I do my personal life. And I measure success the same way – by how much fun I'm having, and by how much fun I'm creating around me."

Central Arts
Sun Valley Center for the Arts Brings Programs Mid-Valley to Expand Reach
Illustration: Red Canoe Architecture PA
An artist rendering of the Ezra Pound House in Hailey and the soon-to-be-built art barn.
(page 1 of 2)
At 35 years old, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts displays all the energy and ambition one might expect of any go-getter at that age.
When it was founded by Bill Janss, then owner of the ski area, it was to round out his vision for Sun Valley. That is, that it was not enough for Sun Valley to simply be a "beautiful place and a ski mountain," said Kristin Poole, artistic director. "They needed to build a cultural life." Janss, a former Olympic skier and scion of a company that built much of Southern California, was an art collector and had met Glenn Cooper in Los Angeles. He invited her to come to Sun Valley to start up a cultural center. After his wife was killed in an avalanche, Janss and Cooper married, and together created the beginnings of Sun Valley's rather spectacular current art scene.
"It started small," says Poole, "with an artists' colony and an artist in residence." One of those artists was Gail Severn who now runs one of the top art galleries in Ketchum.
Over the years, as the center's prestige has grown, it has diversified, offering opportunities to see a wide range of performing arts, from ballet to Bonnie Raitt, as well as visual arts exhibits and classes.
The Center is supported by a "family of people who have been with us for a long time," and new people who get involved each year, Poole said. In addition, it raises funds with a wildly popular annual wine auction and an arts and crafts fair. It is housed in a smallish facility in Ketchum at Fifth and Washington, but fund-raising has begun to move to a greatly enlarged space at Second Avenue and Fourth Street.
Tom Kundig, a principal architect with the Seattle firm, Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, is designing the new facility. Sam Gappmayer, executive director of the Center, expresses confidence in Kundig's qualifications, citing his experience in the design of cultural and arts facilities and his reputation of integrating a building into its environment in a unique and dynamic way. Kundig was recently named one of three finalists for this year's architecture award by the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. Poole says the Center expects the project to take several years to complete.
In an amazing example of community generosity, Engelmann Inc. has donated its services in building the addition to the arts education facility. The company has rallied subcontractors and vendors to donate their time and materials as well.
"The motivation is that we are excited that one of the Valley's largest non-profits has decided to bring its programs to Hailey," Engelmann Inc. Vice President Nick Gilman says. "It's where we live and are raising our kids." >>>

He may not be physically able to carry it.
He may not be physically able to carry it.
^lol, that is the best!!!
Selective memory much? chan has big mouthed about fellow skaters, but I dont mind and I certainly wouldn't question his right to carry the flag, and by the way I think it is only cool when skaters do and he is a very worthy flag bearer, he s a great athlete of Canada and he has dominated FS. Plushenko would have been a great flag bearer, and was also proposed from co athletes for this.
Also Plyshenko said Kovtun messed up at worlds and they ended with one spot again while at his age was bringing medals and spots for Russia, hardly as bashing as Kovtun questioning his pcs and adding Hanyu pcs of his nationals too!!!He didn't changed his twitter status to team Olympics as well! There were certain journalists who were having Tarasova's propaganda begire RN , with everything being written I was expecting plush to tell them even worse.
Don't you really know what is happening outside Canada, in Russia? As Senorita said, it was Kovtun first criticize Plushenko after Russian National. It is part of Tarassova's campaign against Plushenko to send Kovtun to Sochi. And also Yagudin takes part to it blaming Plushenko every time he talks or writes. So, Plushenko is only a gentlemen don't answer in a worse way. And what he said? Only that for Oly is necessary an expert skater. What else said? I don't understand, sorry. He has so many pressure. Haters in Russia, out of Russia, surgery, age, etc.. Please he's a great athlete and deserve at least to be informed before criticize him.
Also Chan, before Vancouver had a big mouth blaming Plushenko and Joubert, don't you remember? Now he's diplomatic. But I never mind it.
Anyway, come back to the topic, i think organisation's schedule is not good! I'm so sorry about it!!
As I mentioned in my post I wouldn't find Chan or Moir suitable flag bearers for their remarks either.
And I don't think Kovtun criticized Plushenko the way Plushenko did. Plushenko didn't just mention he thinks someone with more international experience should go, he brought up Kovtun's Worlds result and only getting one spot. It's mud-flinging. Kovtun could have easily said he's more cut out based on Plushenko's error packed FS, and lack of international competition this year.
I don't really think that either Plushy's, Patrick's or Scott Moir's possible personalities - I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that most of us don't actually know them personally - should be the deciding factor in whom to choose as flag-bearer. But rather their records as athletes. We're talking about them possibly carrying a flag - I don't think it's really important whether one would wish them to come home for tea and cookies, or marry into one's family. Personally, I'm as far from a Chan fan as you could get - and I don't watch ice dance at all. Nonetheless, I'd actually be tickled pink if either Chan or Moir were chosen as flag-bearers. I think it would be a great thing for the sport we all love - whatever other differences we may have.
ETA & somewhat OT but... I've seen that Elene G has been chosen as flag-bearer for Georgia and Javi for Spain! Yay!
I think part of being an athlete is respecting others in your sport, and showing sportsmanship. When you're from Canada or Russia with a couple hundred athletes, it's not like there's a shortage of candidates.
But who is going to be the arbitrator of what is permissable or not? You? Me? Who?
Great to hear about Elene and Javi! Hah, now Brian has two flagbearers as well.
And that the same is true for some other countries.
Whether it is true for all countries, I do not know.
That said, I would be happy to have tea and cookies with Scott and Patrick or for them to marry my nieces. And not because of their world titles, but because of who they are off the ice.
I would be thrilled if one of them is chosen as a flagbearer for the Closing Ceremony -- although in Scott's case, I hope that Tessa and he both would have the honor together.
Plushenko may be a bada$$ when it comes to his male rivals, but I have seen him interact with the ladies at various events, and he is the soul of gallantry.
And I do not think that some scattered remarks should be sufficient to define anyone as a human being. Besides, I don't really know what anyone has said that is (supposed to be) so heinous. But I didn't want to get into that. Obviously I don't think that Plushy is A Bad Person. And I don't see why I should suspect either Patrick or Scott of being so either.
We are talking about Plusheno, who has lived the russian dream, who left at age 11 with no money to train with Mishin as a wunderkid, has stayed in Russia for all his life and with same coach, has brought popularity inside Russia, 90% of young skaters are copying him and his haircut, he is famous outside Russia too, will be in his 4th Olympics and has earned a tone of medals, most of them gold, has come back time after time, I m guessing unless you spend time reading the yellow press and what he said where, he pretty much represents what Russia would want to promote as a role model when it comes to sports.

|Rancho softball team opens at Redwood
Cougars nab No. 9 seed in NCS Div. II playoffs
Rancho Cotate High School's girls' softball team will open the North Coast Section Div. II playoffs Tuesday when it travels to Larkspur to take on Redwood High.
The Cougars, 17-6-1 overall, are the ninth seed in the playoffs, while the Giants (18-5) are seeded eighth. The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m.
On paper, these two teams seem evenly matched, with Redwood averaging 5.7 runs per game, while Rancho Cotate averages 5.4 runs per game. The Giants' team batting average (led by Kayla Rose's .500 batting average) is .297.
The Cougars as a team, with Taylor Del Santo leading the way with a .377 average) are hitting at a clip of .292. The Giants also hold a slight statistical edge in on-base percentage (.369) topping that of Rancho Cotate's .339 and fielding percentage, .926 to Rancho Cotate's .922. Rancho Cotate has a better slugging percentage (.396) than Redwood (.369).
Where the Cougars have a significant advantage is in the caliber of opponents during the season, particularly in their respective leagues. The North Bay League, where the Cougars finished third with a 9-5 mark, offers stiffer competition than the Marin County Athletic League, of which Redwood was champion.
The winner of today's game plays the winner of Wednesday's game between top-seeded Alhambra and No. 16 seed San Lorenzo.

When seasons change, it's hard to strike a balance between the one forecast and the next. Late summer is probably the easiest to dress for though, because you can always throw on/remove a jacket or a cardigan without much fuss. Try a pair of cuffed boyfriend jeans paired with a tucked-in top and a summer blazer for an early fall look that will stand out against everyone's immediate transition to darker hues (while still shielding you from chilly breezes). Polish style blogger Martyna pulls off the look with ease below. Scroll to get it!

Muslims in Erie celebrate Feast of Sacrifice (Updated: 11:37 a.m.)
Hundreds of Muslims gathered this morning at an Erie mosque to celebrate Eid al-Adha.
The Feast of Sacrifice recalls a man's willingness to give up his child for God.
Muhammad Ahsan Baig, general secretary for the Islamic Association of Erie, said this eid is one of two major Islamic festivals.
He said the holiday is marked with prayer, new clothes, gifts and the sharing of meat with family, friends and the needy from an animal that has been sacrificed.
The holy day recalls the willingness of Ibrahim, known as Abraham to Christians and Jews, to sacrifice his son. Tradition says God gave Ibrahim a ram to sacrifice instead. Eid al-Adha also concludes the annual pilgrimage to Mecca known as hajj.

Sunrise, Fla. -
Residents of Sunrise and parts of Davie that are on Sunrise water supply have been ordered to boil their water before using it to drink, bathe, cook or wash dishes. Routine sampling found E. coli in the water. Another round of tests by the health department are being done to confirm and determine if or when residents can stop boiling their water.
Officials recommend bringing your water to a full boil for 1 minute. Then you can put it in pitchers or containers for use later.

Vaccination Shots: Yep, I'm the Pansy of My FamilyCody
There are a few things that I am absolutely terrified of like spiders, the Mothman, rubbing the edge of a serrated butter knife against my teeth, praying mantises, and owning a little dog. Then there's one of the biggest of all: getting a shot.
Few things make me queasier than the thought of getting a shot and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. I can remember trips to the clinic before I was even old enough to go to kindergarten that were filled with complete terror. The nurse could offer me all the suckers or ice cream cones she wanted, none of it was worth getting a shot.
In my second year of law school I braved up after suffering through a year of some pretty bad flu spells, and went to the student center to get a free flu shot. As soon as I took off for the student center my palms got all cold and sweaty as I fought the fear to turn around and cower in a corner somewhere. When it was my turn to get my flu shot after arriving at the student center, I sat down and rolled up my sleeve for the nurse.
The nurse cleaned my arm and then stuck me with the needle. She then took out a cotton ball and held it over the newly created hole in my arm. That's when she realized that my arm was especially white. She said, "Wow, I've never seen anyone with such white arms before." She looked up at my face and realized what was going on. The color in my face had completely drained away and I was on the verge of passing out right there in the middle of the student center.
Thank goodness I'm mostly done with shots now, because it seems like kids these days get dozens and dozens of shots. Today was Vivi's day to get another four shots.
With the number of shots Vivi has already had, I would consider removing her from the amateur leagues or minor leagues and send her straight to the pros. Of course, I don't have any firsthand knowledge that Vivi has ever received a shot, because I've never been there to see her get any. I've been told Addie's had all her shots, but those could all be lies for all I know.
There are two main reasons why I can't bear to watch my kids get shots. First, I can't stand to watch them cry and suffer the way shots seem to make kids cry and suffer. Casey had to physically pin Vivi to the table to get her most recent shots, and Casey came home completely frazzled and it pretty much ruined her day. I hope Casey got herself some ice cream on the way home from Vivi's shots.
Second, I come very close to passing out when I see someone getting a shot. When I was in high school I took my little sister to get shots. I promised I would stand by her to help her get through her shots. As the nurse moved the needle towards my sister, I cringed and cowered into a chair in a far corner. On a positive note, my sister was so worried about me that she didn't even think about the shot that was being given to her. On a negative note, I came across as a pretty big wimp.
With the psychological damage done to my wife that was caused by Vivi's most recent shots, I'm guessing my streak of never seeing my girls get shots is about to come to an end. Being a wimp and a coward can only get one so far in life.
Oh, and because I felt so bad that Vivi had to have 4, count them, 1, 2, 3, 4, shots in one day, I manned up (is it acceptable to write that?) and got a flu shot today. The nurse said I was his only bleeder of the day and when my wife got her flu shot 20 minutes later, the nurse referred to me as the very nervous guy.

Bioshock Infinite trailer imprisons the child
Irrational Games has posted the second installment of the mock 70s info-reel to tease its new adventure game.
Bioshock Infinte takes place in the floating city of Columbia, in an alternate history world in which a group of fundamentalist nationalists broke away from the US to form their own society, literally in the clouds. Years later, this Utopia has crumbled under the weight of internal conflict as two groups, the loyalists who support Columbia's government and the Vox Populi who feel the government itself has become anti-patriotic fight over the right to rule the great cloud city.
Irrational and their writers have done a lot of work developing the background for the story. I've been really enjoying the promotions for the game because of all the world-building they are exposing. They're attempting (and succeeding, I think) to reveal the world of Bioshock Infinite without spoiling the story, so there is a lot of historical detail available absent of plot. As an alternate history buff, and a fan of great world-building, these promos have been as great for me as any good book or film, despite - so far - lack of plot.
Last month, we got to see this great fictional documentary which discusses some aspects of Columbia, and the mystery surrounding it:
At the time, I thought that would be all. It looked like a trailer or an opening sequence for a longer piece, but I never expected more of the fictional show to come out. It now has, however. This new video is part two of Truth from Legend- Columbia: A Modern Day Icarus. The short discusses the presence of a creature called Songbird, one seen in a lot of the promotional material for the game. A monstrous, victorianesque mechanical bird, we've been unsure as to what his exact role would be, beyond, perhaps a monster to fight, perhaps an ally. This video gives us a possible explanation, as well as some small details of what Elizabeth's role in the city's story might be.
One thing to take away from this promo, as far as the plot is concerned, is to note that Songbird will not be destroyed during the course of the game. These videos are made to look as though they are exploring the mysteries of Columbia from decades after the events occur, while the game takes place only in 1912, the year that the shadowy footage of the monster in the video was taken. The implication seems to be that that was not the last sighting of the creature.
The plot of the game itself will follow a surface man tasked with rescuing a young woman from the city, which is now embroiled in a decade-long conflict. Along the way, he'll have to make difficult decisions about who to help, and who to kill, quite possibly altering the future of that world forever, as video game protagonists have a habit of doing. So far, we haven't seen any indication of if/how the game ties into the lore of the previous Bioshock games. Perhaps we'll have to play to find out.
The latest trailer for the game gives us a great look at the city itself from the protagonist's point of view:
Bioshock Infinite will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows on March 26, 2013. You have to pre-order the game to receive the bonus items, which also includes a copy of Mind in Revolt if you pre-order on Amazon specifically. It is also available for pre-order over on Steam.

Rod Schaaf, Bothell High School teacher, and Scott Miller, Dale Hedden, Bob Connell, and Mel Kolstad, all teachers at Woodinville High, recently took part in a two-day Educator Tour of Fort Bliss Army Post in El Paso, Texas.
The tour, sponsored by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, was a way for educators to learn more about the Army so that when they are helping young people make decisions about their future, they will have a more informed idea of what serving in the Army is like and what it offers.

Stephen Sondheim's musical, COMPANY, opens as the Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University season's second production from July 9-12. The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark "concept" show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre.
"As smooth as the steel-and-glass buildings of midtown Manhattan and as jumpy as an alley cat, it is Broadway's first musical treatment of nerve ends. Brilliance is all in this show," wrote Douglas Watt of Daily News. Company is a funny, sophisticated exploration of love and commitment as seen through the eyes of a charming perpetual bachelor.
Company follows five married, once married, or soon to be married couples and their mutual friend, Robert. On the night of his 35th birthday, Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to "those good and crazy people," his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. With a wise and witty Stephen Sondheim score including "Another Hundred People," "Side by Side by Side," "Getting Married Today," "The Ladies Who Lunch," and "Being Alive," this Tony Award-winning show offers musical comedy at its finest.
Performance times for COMPANY are 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday in Dixon Hall.
You may purchase tickets in person at the box office, mail in your order form, or charge by phone at 504-865-5269. Box office hours are Monday- Friday from noon - 5 p.m. We look forward to seeing you in the theatre this summer. As a reminder, the 2009 season of marvelous musicals include Company from July 9-12 and South Pacific on July 30- August 2.

To the Editor.—
The authors wish to thank Matzger for his letter "Pathogenesis of Venous Thrombosis" (215:799, 1971). Our agreement with Matzger is complete— the problem of thromboembolism is by no means resolved. However, we do not share his opinion that this subject is cloaked in mystery. It is our firm conviction that the inability to date to control this dreaded complication in hospital patients should not be cause for despair but rather should spur us on to continuous, diligent studies and research until the ultimate conquest is achieved.In his hurried attempt to build a case, Matzger overlooked several pertinent facts.Unquestionable reduction of the venous pool of the calf (both deep and superficial veins) was repeatedly and amply demonstrated in our illustrations and fully explained under Phlebograms. Angiography while not entirely free from pitfalls is the choice tool available to us for the delineation of vascular forms

Snyder's proposal is a model in double taxation and an expensive financial hit for Michigan drivers who already pay dearly at the gas pump and when renewing their vehicle registration.
Michigan's current 19 cent per gallon gas tax ranks among the highest in the U.S. If Snyder's $1.2 billion road fix proposal comes to fruition in its current form, the average Michigan driver who uses 20 gallons of gasoline per week will be adding another 14 cents per gallon toward their weekly gas expense.
This comes to approximately $140 per year in additional gas taxes, coupled with the proposed $120 increase in vehicle registration. The outcome is that many middle-class car and light-truck owners would be forced to pay an additional $260 per vehicle per year.
Lawmakers also must consider that many Michigan households have multiple vehicles in the driveway.
Snyder's excessive higher gas tax and vehicle fees proposal can amount to $520 to $1,040 per household. This is a stiff increase where middle-class families will be forced to take money off the kitchen table and make the decision to spend less in the local economy.
Lawmakers also should remember that Michigan still has a struggling economy, with the unemployment rate remaining high and steady at 8.9 percent.
Let's not forget the very real threat of federal government sequestration, which may cost thousands of Michiganians their jobs.
Now is not the time to support Snyder's huge and massive $1.2 billion transportation funding proposal.
More hard work remains to be done by Lansing lawmakers in coming up with a common-sense approach to fixing Michigan's roads.
Snyder and lawmakers should take their time and consider all financially feasible solutions and incremental alternatives that aren't such a huge and excessive financial blow for the many Michigan families still struggling week-to-week in order to make ends meet and put food on the table.
Elected leaders in Lansing must be put on notice that endorsing Snyder's proposed $1.2 billion in higher gas tax and vehicle registration fees may result in what one Michigan news reporter recently referred to as a possible "total voter freak-out" in the 2014 election.

Sentence first, verdict later!
In the May 31, 2006 issue of Business Mirror, Manuel Buencamino writes about the abduction of 5 Estrada supporters by AFP intelligence agents.
"Mrs. Arroyo can avoid answering for arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions and extra-judicial killings by simply proclaiming the Philippines the Enchanted Kingdom and crowning herself Queen. "
Queen Taray walks out of Enchanted Kingdom cabinet meeting
It was a scene straight out of Lewis Caroll's adventures of Alice.
Gloria, Queen Taray of the Enchanted Kingdom, berated her education secretary for not knowing her addition and subtraction. Compare an excerpt from chapter nine of Caroll's fantasy with the dialogue between Taray and her education secretary.
The US-JAPAN MILITARY ALLIANCE
The Gadfly says the Philippines must not play into the growing military alliance between Japan and the US. It cannot ignore other emerging powers.
"The least the Philippines needs is to be perceived as a country inextricably linked to a U.S.-Japanese alliance that seeks to contain or deter China. Much less should our country be considered as a rabid supporter of a Land of the Rising Sun seen by some nations as flexing its diplomatic and military muscle."
Globalization's Watchdogs
In Foreign Policy in Focus, Mark Engler writes about the role of media as a watchdog for the forces of neo-liberalism
Globalization's Watchdogs
by Mark Engler
When Bolivian President Evo Morales announced plans to nationalize his country's oil and natural gas resources in early May, he did more than lay out a promising path for development. He also provided an ideal opportunity to illustrate how large segments of the U.S. and British press have adopted roles as watchdogs for corporate globalization. Since Bolivia's energy exports go to Brazil and Argentina rather than the United States, and since the nationalization is unlikely to significantly alter the price of natural gas on international markets, the direct impact on our country is minimal. Yet in the weeks since Morales took action, we have been treated to a wealth of hysterical commentary.
Angels and Demons
In Business Mirror, Manuel Buencamino writes about one newspaper's crusade to topple a fallen president.
'Angels and Demons'
By Manuel Buencamino
PEOPLE who liked the The Da Vinci Code will enjoy Angels and Demons by the same author. Those who can't get a copy can settle for the version serialized in a local newspaper.
"Pinoy Angels and Demons" is a newspaper's tale about a former beauty contestant who was used by a group of businessmen to launder money.
More on Oil Politics
From Greg Palast comes another story about oil politics.
The Guardian
by Greg Palast
Get off it. All the carping, belly-aching and complaining about George Bush's incompetence in Iraq, from both the Left and now the Right, is just dead wrong.
On the third anniversary of the tanks rolling over Iraq's border, most of the 59 million Homer Simpsons who voted for Bush are beginning to doubt if his mission was accomplished.
But don't kid yourself — Bush and his co-conspirator, Dick Cheney, accomplished exactly what they set out to do.
The Politics of Oil
From the Guardian comes this story about the politics of oil.
When two poor countries reclaimed oilfields, why did just one spark uproar?
The outcry over Bolivia's renationalisation and the silence over Chad's betrays the hypocrisy of the critics
The Gadfly's latest contribution is on the Blair-Bush partnership.
Entitled "Axis of Feeble," the editorial of the latest issue of The Economist describes President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair as "soul-mates" whose partnership has shaped world events in the last five years. But due to the debacle in Iraq and domestic problems, both leaders have been transformed "from soaring hawks into the lamest of ducks."
The editorial opines that Mr. Blair's contribution to the partnership has been significant because in him Mr. Bush "found a supreme political salesman and a dependable ally with a respected voice inside the UN Security Council and the European Union" as well as "a true believer, exuding conviction."
The Tar Baby
Manuel Quezon III has this great story on Pangit's cha-cha machinations.
The tar baby
By Manuel L. Quezon III
WHAT was orchestrated along the lines of Lenei Reifenstahl's propaganda masterpiece "Triumph of the Will" (her film of the 1934 Nuremberg rally of the Nazis) has turned into a scene straight out of Walt Disney's "Song of the South," in particular, the fable of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby, in which a fox gets the goat of a rootin' tootin' but rather vain rabbit by setting up a baby made of tar along the side of the road. The rabbit, spotting the tar baby, tries to strike up a conversation, and gets frustrated over the tar baby's silence. The rabbit tries to beat up the tar baby, but with every kick and punch, he gets more and more stuck until the fox comes out and taunts the rabbit. The lesson, of course, is that you shouldn't mess with something you have no business with in the first place.
If the shoe fits
Manuel Buencamino's article in Business Mirror, May 17, 2006, pokes fun at Chief Justice Panganiban and everyone else. As usual.
"You mean Chief Justice Panganiban's line about, 'They have lost sight of the fact that their duty, first and foremost, is to serve the ends of justice; and that their primary fidelity is to the courts and secondarily only to their clients,' was a soliloquy?"
