The shooting and stabbing of six young people in a California university town by the son of a British film director is heartbreaking in every detail. The anguished appeal by the father of one victim for action at last on gun control is impossible to ignore. Even the final filmed message from the killer seems more desperate than deranged.
Elliot Rodger had been diagnosed with mild Asperger's syndrome. He had trouble making friends and was tormented by his loneliness. This aspect of the tragedy may prompt new moves to curb access to guns for the mentally ill, at least in

Who Am I?
Travelling to find yourself in two stories by contemporary American writers.
In each of the two stories that make up this program, the traveller encounters someone completely unlike herself or himself, learns something about that person, and perhaps, learns more about themselves.
Julia Alvarez's brief tale "Neighbors," is set in the Domincan Republic, from which author hails. Alvarez is the author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, among other works. The reader is Tony Award-winner Joanna Gleason.
In "Flight Patterns," the wonderful story that makes up the remainder of this program, author Sherman Alexie's protagonist, a middle class, business-suit-wearing Spokane Indian tribe member takes a taxi from his Seattle home to the airport. His driver is an Ethiopian émigré, exiled from his country by violent choices made years ago. In the course of their ride, the two non-white Americans make surprising revelations and discoveries about each other and their worlds. This reading took place at The Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. The reader, who has given powerful performances of other Alexie stories, was the multiple award-winning Broadway actor and regular star of "Law and Order SVU", B.D. Wong.
The musical interludes are from Brian Eno's "Music for Airports," and "Calunga," from "The Caribbean: Island Songs and Dances," in Nonesuch's Explorer series.
The SELECTED SHORTS theme is Roger Kellaway's "Come to the Meadow."

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Almac, Northern Ireland's leading biotech, celebrated St Patrick's Day with the 'topping off' of their new facility in Pennsylvania. VP Business Development Philip Diamond was looking after the Almac stand at the BioEurope Spring exhibition and explained how to shave a whole year off early stage clinical development with their new rapid™ system, a set of solutions they've put together with a full service CRO, which gets a lead candidate into Phase I regulatory submission in under 12 months. There's also progress in Almac's diagnostics division, putting together a product for lung cancer prognosis and identifying those patients who could benefit from chemo.
Earlier, I caught up with Remy Delansorne, CEO of Hybrigenics, who is excited about a service deal worth 400,000 Euros they have just signed with an EU consortium on drug discovery in inflammation. There'll be more big news soon, he promises. Another company with new money is London-based Stabilitech who have just raised £3.3 million from new and existing investors to progress their work on vaccine and biopharmaceutical stabilisation technology.
And I shouldn't forget to thank the Comune di Milano for sponsoring Monday night's reception and dinner at the splendid Castello Sforzesco where we were treated to a tour of the Egyptian collection. A perfect environment for networking. On the coach back – often where the best conversations happen – I chatted to Ylva Erlandsson from Stockholm Business Region Development about the biotechnology sectors of the Scandinavian countries. She reminded me that next month (April 23-24) is the annual AngloNordic Biotechnology conference in London – I'm saving the date.

Add the voice of Aerosmith bass player Tom Hamilton to those who say it's a done deal that front man Steven Tyler will definitely join Fox show "American Idol" as a judge for next season.
"I know he will be," Hamilton said this afternoon in a phone interview. Aerosmith will open this year's New York State Fair grandstand series on Aug. 26.
Said Hamilton about the affect that Tyler's foray into TV's highest-rated show will have on Aerosmith:
"I'm more concerned how it will effect our long-term plans. I hope it benefits the band. I hope it brings it to a whole new level," Hamilton said. "At this point in time, I see it will spawn a whole lot of new opportunities."
Hamilton said he hopes the new gig doesn't force Tyler to scramble the band's plans to record a new album in the months following the conclusion of the current tour.
"American Idol" needs a judge to replace Simon Cowell, the man known for being the tough one on contestants.

Oscar Buzz Increases As Ben Affleck, George Clooney Celebrate 'Argo's' Hollywood Premiere
After extremely successful film festival launches in Telluride and Toronto, Warner Bros. thriller and big Oscar hopeful, Argo (10/12), finally hit Hollywood last night with a West Coast premiere at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theatre. And a big postparty bash at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool drew not only the cast and key creatives from the film but also the real people behind the 1979-set Iran hostage drama. They included Tony Mendez, the CIA operative who came up with a novel plan to rescue six American hostages stuck in the Canadian embassy in Tehran by creating a fake Hollywood movie for which they posed as members of the production team. Ben Affleck directs and stars as Mendez in the film which he also produced with Grant Heslov and George Clooney (who initially optioned the material and was originally planning to direct and star himself before he got busy on other projects and Affleck came aboard).
I talked to numerous Academy and HFPA members who were invited and reaction, in a word, was ecstatic. As he was leaving the party, Affleck, getting lots of praise from the crowd, said the reaction made him happy. It should. Warners was smart to specifically invite a big contingent of awards voters and bloggers for the launch. It's a strategy Harvey Weinstein perfected with his premieres and it makes a statement, 'we know what we have and we are in this for the win'. Since the fests, Argo has been at, or near the top of most pundits' likely Oscar nominees.
Alan Arkin plays the real Hollywood producer hired to make the "fake" movie seem real and got big laughs along with co-star John Goodman throwing out cynical lines about the profession that played particularly well with this industry-heavy audience. Argo ultimately is a movie that will likely make those in the normally jaded movie business proud that what they do actually made a difference in a major world event (eventually all the other 52 Americans held hostage by radical Iranians for 444 days were released on the last day of embattled President Jimmy Carter's term in office). That aspect could play well into heightening its Oscar chances as it rolls out for the long season.
After Toronto, this was the second time Mendez had seen the film that revolves around his novel idea to fake a movie in order to get the hostages out and when I sat down with him and his nephew at his table he told me it was even better now." To see this kind of five minute ovation and the reaction it got here in Hollywood is remarkable but it's stranger than strange," he says of seeing the real movie made about his fake movie. He explained the whole operation was classified and kept top secret for nearly two decades before President Clinton declassified the info in 1997 and a Wired Magazine article let the world know about this heroic event. As for the rights to his tale, Mendez says both George Clooney and Brad Pitt were vying for it through their respective studios Warners and Paramount. "I got a call in the middle of the night and it was George Clooney on the line from Romania telling me of his interest in my story. The middle of the night. It eventually got down to people from Warner Bros and Paramount offering money. I finally said 'double it' and Warner Bros did," he says adding that Clooney had originally intended to direct and play him but eventually Affleck got involved. "I was thrilled with Ben. I think he did a great job with the film." He says the name of the fake movie came about after he kept repeating a knock-knock joke with his colleagues. "Knock Knock. Who's there? Argo? Argo Who? Argo fuck yourself". It's in the real movie too.
Many of the actual hostages were also on hand including Lee Schatz who was seeing the movie for the first time. He was looking around the party for Rory Cochrane whom he had never met even though the actor plays him in the film. Schatz says it was eerie watching the film because at the time the six diplomats were ensconced in the Canadian embassy and really sheltered from what was going on outside. He said he gets to invite several friends to the Washington D.C. premiere next week and one of them will be his office desk mate who knew nothing about what really happened to him for 20 years because of the classified mission. He thinks it was wise to keep it quiet all those years because it gave the CIA the option of using this ploy again somewhere if needed. Publicizing it then would have obviously killed that option.
I told Clooney after being on the circuit last year for The Descendants I actually thought he was going to get a year off from the Oscar season madness. He just laughed. Now as producer of this sure-bet Best Picture contender he and partner Grant Heslov are back in the thick of it. He's enormously proud of the movie and the job Affleck did. As a producer Clooney seems as busy now as an actor. "We are shooting August: Osage County in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It's going great. John Wells is directing," he says of his former E.R. executive producer. They are making the film in a house the production bought there, rather than a soundstage which is normally how this kind play-turned-movie might be done. Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts are among the all-star cast and Clooney says it was tough for Wells, working with its Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Tracy Letts to condense from the play's 3 1/2 hour running time and to "open up" as a movie. The Weinstein Company will release in 2013, likely putting yet another Clooney project back in the Oscar race next year.
Argo co-star Bryan Cranston was also there soaking up the attention for his dead-on performance as Mendez's CIA boss. Despite having Breaking Bad and all the Emmy attention happening right as this movie was launching the busy Cranston said, " I am just so proud of everything about this movie. I would go anywhere and do anything for it." His daughter Taylor was with him and as a USC sophomore she is following in his footsteps getting into the acting game. She's in a production there of the sexually-charged French classic, La Ronde but doesn't think she wants her Dad to see this one.
Man I love this time of year when we start seeing some really good ones. Hats off to Affleck who has quickly made the list of must see Directors.
Pee Wee Herman is great in it. Didn't think he had the acting chops
This is THE movie I'm looking most forward to this year. From what I hear it'll get in around 3200 theaters next friday, the widest release for a flick Affleck is helming. Hopefully the audience will support a quality film. If th early buzz from real audiences are to be taken serious this will have strong word-of-mouth.
Congrats to Affleck and all the cast and crew!
Love Affleck
Well this film shows that government of IRAN is worse government in the world.I thank you for your hard work Farzin Youabian a writer and Director.
I'm with you Farzin. Lets bring the Shah back!
when you see the movie, you'll see the Shah is why Iran is now under the control of fundamentalists. if america had let them keep their elected leader, instead of engineering a coup and installing the corrupt Shah, Iran could be a civilised democracy today.
I remember the same buzz around Affleck for The Town… we'll see… it's early…
Agree on Pee Wee Herman… he's terrific as the assistant to the Iranian ambassador
Maybe people should read about the roll Kenneth Taylor played in this. Seems his roll is being forgotten about.
After what happened in Libya, this movie will be most detrimental to the re-election effort of Barack Obama. Rather ironic as this is a Clooney-Affleck production.
Goodman is the only talented actor in Argo; and that's just not enough for me to part with $14 plus concessions.
Cranston, Arkin, Affleck- last two winning Oscar is not talent ? I'm guessing you are one of those who parted with 14 + dollars this weekend for Taken 2. Quality movies no matter who's in them deserve support.
An anti-Iran film as the US prepares to enter Iran? What a coincidence!
Saw the movie…actually really good.
Even with knowing the ending, the production team were able to make it a nail biter.
Bryan Cranston, a class act.
I went to the premiere by winning tickets. Its a great movie! Affleck just gets better and better at directing. I really can't wait to see this movie again.
So few actor/directors with any juice make movies for adults. Clooney has been pretty much the exception and affleck as well. I will go see it because it looks interesting and also because I want to support the handful of actors/directors who still make movies for adults.
And now…………the Oscar campaign has begun. You can actually buy the OSCARS now. It's not about the best, it's about who will get the highest bidding. Oscar for sale.
I am an aspiring screenwriter and was visiting family in westborough, mass this past weekend. Went to see Argo Saturday night to a sold out theater. In L.A. It is tradition to stay through the credits, but everywhere else not usual. Not only did the audience stay, they broke out in rrousing applause. You guys totally nailed it! So happy for Ben, George and grant. I hear Oscar calling! Bravo!

Bourque off to fast start
By Shaun Hearen
GUEYDAN — Gueydan's Devantae Bourque wanted to play running back when he was younger.
"I wasn't big enough to play running back," Bourque said. "I was too skinny."
His wiry stature indeed kept Bourque from finding his way to the position he most desired. That is, until now.
Gueydan entered the season with top running back Darin Gums on the shelf nursing an ACL injury. Gums is expected back in a couple of weeks, but his absence left a hole at running back.
And Bourque, finally able to run the ball, has filled in nicely.
Bourque ran 22 times for 191 yards and five touchdowns as the Bears (3-0) claimed a 46-20 win over East Iberville Friday.
Bourque, who moved to Gueydan after starring at Crowley Middle School for two years, has racked up 409 yards and eight touchdowns in the Bears' first three games. He also has a 92-yard kickoff return for
"I'm pleased with the win," Gueydan head coach Jay Landry said. "And I'm proud of how hard our kids fought."
That includes Bourque.
"He has done a tremendous job," Landry said. "This kid is 15, and he didn't play any running back for us last year, just receiver. The strides he is making each week is amazing.
"And he's tough. He did what he did tonight on a bum ankle."
The ankle did not slow Bourque down. He capped the Bears' first drive, a 10-play, 68-yard march, with a 7-yard touchdown run. Bourque added the two-point conversion to put the Bears up 8-0 with 6:54 remaining in the first quarter.
"It had a little pinch to it," Bourque said of the injury. "You try to fight it, though, to help the team.
"You have to be tough all of the time."
Bourque showed that toughness on the other side of the ball, too. Playing safety, Bourque delivered a jarring hit that broke up a third-down pass by East Iberville. That forced EIHS to punt.
"I thought our defense played well," Landry said.
The Bears' offense took advantage of the change of possession as they marched down the field, this time on a 67-yard drive, which Bourque once again ended, this time on a 5-yard dart to the end zone. Bourque put the Bears up 16-0 on his second two-point run.
East Iberville got on the board midway through the second quarter with a touchdown run. A fake punt earlier in the drive made the 1-yard score possible.
"That was one of the first big mistakes we have made this year," Landry said.
The Bears had an answer: Trevor Derouen, who finished with 93 and a touchdown on 17 attempts.
"I think we played with a lot of heart tonight," Landry said. "I can't ask for more than that."

When you're a girl (or girl dog) it's important to leave the house looking your best every day. When you're a model, to boot, it means that on top of the usual every day stresses that can affect your beauty regimen you have to worry about looking good on the catwalk, in front of your public, and in front of the camera.
That's why Princess Meredith is the perfect pooch to try out Happy Tails Canine Spa Line's newest products:
The shampoo is specially formulated for any dog who needs brightening - since all dogs' coats dull with age. It works especially well for dogs with light-colored coats, like the princess. The formula contains special pearlescent brighteners which gives the coat a delicious sheen. Honey and yogourt, in addition to being soothing for the skin, also help to act as natural whiteners.
It also smells just yummy - I had to convince the pug twice it wasn't food. It lathered up well and rinsed clean, leaving the pug smelling wonderfully huggable and pretty, but that wasn't what made her really glow.
For the special glow, we decided to finish with the Sparkle and Shine Shimmering Mist. This special leave-on conditioning spray has a special additive to give a sparkly finish to your pet's coat (without going all Studio 54 garish). You can even see this when you give the bottle a good shake before spraying it on your dog's coat. The Shimmering Mist also contains natural silk proteins that help to restructure the coat. Once we had combed this through Merry's coat and allowed it to dry, the pug wasn't just shimmery... she was ready for the catwalk, and how!
At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, but wait... there's more!
Our favorite part of the Sparkle and Shine Shimmering Mist was another ingredient added specifically to help repel dust and dirt for longer. Yes, you read that correctly. While it doesn't work to turn your dog into a duck, shedding everything that comes its way, it does help you to stretch just a little longer between baths, or just stay fresher between them!
We really loved these products, as we seemingly love everything that Happy Tails comes up with! Now every dog can have just a little more shine, a little more sparkle... and as with the princess, they all really deserve it.

Scholar: Kuan-jen Chen
Title: U.S. Maritime Policy in East Asia during the Cold War era, 1945-1979
Institution: University of Cambridge, UK
Summary: This study explores the political structure and developments at sea in East Asia and the western Pacific during the Cold War between 1945 and 1979. After 1945, given the power vacuum in East Asia that followed the collapse of the Japanese empire, countries sought to establish the foundations of national sovereignty in an age of state-building and decolonization. The US, however, took advantage of this juncture to shape the geopolitical contours of the Cold War for America's own interests. This study will dissect how the United States planned and constructed a new maritime order after World War II, along with the responses of Asian countries, especially China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Kuan-jen Chen will conduct research in Britain, Taiwan, the United States, Japan, and in China for this dissertation.

Speaking at the Department for Communities and Local Government on Tuesday, Lord Sacks said: "Over the last few years, Jewish students have become demoralised at the failure of university authorities to take firm and decisive action. When restraint isn't self imposed it must be imposed by the university authorities. And that means banning preachers of hate and intolerance, who would, if speaking outside universities and if at other groups, be prosecuted under the law, under incitement to racial and possibly religious hatred."
The government supported Lord Sacks' forthright stance in its annual response to the All Party Inquiry Into Anti-Semitism, which was published on Wednesday. It states: "The government expects universities to have measures in place to ensure that their students are not subject to threatening or abusive behaviour on campus. Institutions have access to a strong legislative framework and guidance to help them deal effectively with instances of intolerance, racism and harassment on campus. We expect them to vigorously tackle these issues when they arise."
It continues: "Institutions and students have recourse to the law to tackle anti-Semitism, and institutions themselves are accountable to the courts for their actions in relation to equality and tackling harassment."
The report also revealed that government ministers will host a European-wide seminar next spring to ensure continued progress on tackling hate crime including anti-Semitism on the internet.
Danny Stone, secretary to the all-party group against anti-Semitism, said: "The government has highlighted the importance of stopping hate speech on campuses when it will clearly offend people.
"Early next year, university heads will be responding to the government in writing about how they plan to better manage the problem."
He added: "This government paper highlights that a lot has been achieved this year. In particular, the department of education committing to funding schools' security, the continued success of the Holocaust Educational Trust school trips to Auschwitz and, for the first time, the police publishing hate crime figures.
"Overall I'm delighted at the progress being made. We will continue working with partners in government and parliament to continue to eradicate anti-Semitism."Students 'demoralised' by Campus extremism by James Marin

Having graduated five of her top seven players from a season ago, Curtis Coach Barbara Farris described the reigning Class 2A state champions as "rebuilding.''
It looked a lot more like "reloading'' Thursday night at Mount Carmel as All-State guard Kolby Morgan equaled a season high, scoring with 26 points to pace the Lady Patriots to a 51-38 non-district victory that was seemingly much more one-sided than the final score.
Morgan scored 22 of her total in the first half, which was four more than the Cubs managed as a team. And with 16 of those points coming in a decisive second quarter when a 20-6 run broke open a game that ended the first period tied at 12.
The 32-18 halftime lead grew to as much as 18 early in the third quarter and never dipped below 12 points thereafter as Morgan, a 5-foot-6 junior, sank 11 of 14 field goal attempts, hit both of her 3-point attempts and two free throws in addition to pulling down 10 rebounds that paced the Lady Patriots to a commanding 32-21 advantage on the boards.
Morgan's backcourt mate Tia Charles also contributed 12 points to the Curtis cause, which centered around attacking the goal and avenging an earlier 48-47 loss to the Cubs on Dec. 6.
"We starting pushing the tempo and getting fast break opportunities,'' Morgan said of the second quarter in which Curtis hit 8 of 11 from the field to Mount Carmel's 1-of-9. "Our coach tells us to defend the ball and box out, not to allow penetrations and rebound. Then put your head down and get up the floor.
"Everything fell into place for us. Our defense sets the tone. Then the offense will come.''
Buoyed by Morgan and Charles' drives and penetrations, Curtis shot a blistering 22 of 38 (57.9 percent) from the field, a stark contrast to Mount Carmel's 14 of 42 (33.3 percent). Only 11 second-half turnovers by Curtis kept the game close. The Patriots finished with 15 turnovers while Mout Carmel committed 14.
Mount Carmel had no players in double figures, although sophomore guard Taylor Berry scored nine, junior guard Jennifer Clark had eight and freshman guard Paige Franckiewicz had seven.
"I'm just proud of our defensive effort,'' Farris said. "We're pretty familiar with them from having seen them a bunch of times this season. Mount Carmel is a great team. They're all shooters. We wanted to make sure we knew where their shooters were. Berry and No. 14 (Franckiewicz) hurt us the last time we played. So we wanted to make some other people make shots.''
Curtis (8-6), which has failed to win more than two consecutive games this season, entered having lost two of its last three. The Lady Patriots, 32-1 a year ago after winning their final 20 games, play host to Helen Cox at 4 p.m Saturday.
Mount Carmel (8-7), which lost its second straight outing, plays at Cabrini at 11 a.m. Saturday.
"We had a terrible shooting night,'' MCA Coach Panos Bountovinas said. "We probably shot in the low 30s percentage wise. We were even missing layups. They had the better night tonight. They had the better plan and they won. It's as simple as that.''

Romney criticizes Biden on consulate attack
RICHMOND, Va. -- Broadening his attack on administration foreign policy, Mitt Romney accused Vice President Joe Biden on Friday of "doubling down on denial" in a dispute over security at a diplomatic post in Libya that was overrun by terrorists who killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
"The vice president directly contradicted the sworn testimony of State Department officials," the Republican presidential candidate said, eager to stoke a controversy that has flared periodically since the attack on Sept. 11 "... American citizens have a right to know just what's going on. And we're going to find out."
President Barack Obama had no campaign appearances during the day, leaving it to White House press secretary Jay Carney to defend Biden's assertion in a campaign debate Thursday night that "we weren't told" of an official request for more security at the site.
The spokesman rejected Romney's claim of a contradiction. Biden "was speaking directly for himself and for the president. He meant the White House," Carney said.
With his accusation, Romney once again pushed foreign policy to the forefront of a campaign dominated for more than a year by the economy, which has been painfully slow to recover from the worst recession in more than a half century.
The Republican challenger was campaigning across a pair of battleground states during the day, first in Virginia, which has 13 electoral votes, and then in Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes and where running mate Paul Ryan joined him. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the White House.
Biden was in Wisconsin, Ryan's home state, and one where polls give Obama a narrow lead despite a debate performance last week that was so poor it fueled a Republican comeback nationally and sent shudders through the ranks of Democratic partisans.
More than a week later, officials in both parties describe a race that has largely returned to the competitive situation in effect during summer, before the national political conventions and the emergence of a videotape in which Romney spoke dismissively of nearly half the country propelled the president to significant gains in the polls.
Now, many of the same surveys show a very tight race nationally and in most of the competitive states.
Struggling to blunt or reverse Romney's rise in the polls, Obama's campaign launched two new ads in several of the contested states. One shows the Republican being asked in a "60 Minutes" interview if it's fair that he paid federal tax of about 14 percent in 2011 on income of $20 million, while a $50,000 wage-earner paid a higher rate. "I think it's the right way to encourage economic growth," Romney says, and the narrator adds: "Lower tax rates for him than us. Is that the way to grow America?"
The second ad appears aimed at recent comments Romney made suggesting he might not make opposition to abortion a priority. "Maybe you're wondering what to believe about Mitt Romney," it says, then shows him pledging to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
With control of the Senate and all 435 House seats at stake along with the White House, outside groups that spent months stockpiling money were now in a race to spend it.
American Crossroads, a group backed by former White House strategist Karl Rove, announced this week it was spending $7.4 million in the presidential race, while an allied organization, Crossroads GPS, put down $4 million to help Republicans in five Senate races and an additional $8.1 million for 11 House campaigns -- a total of nearly $20 million.

She Will Smother You
Featuring Analee Sands
Date December 24th, 2010
Duration 22:21
This is one of the times in an XLGirl.com interview opener that starts the sexin' before the interview wraps up! Analee Sands is a fresh, new model from Illinois. She learned about XL Girls from a friend, something that's often the case here. But not enough. He kept on Analee to apply and after a week, she agreed. We didn't keep her waiting long for a reply. Not with a body and kisser like that. When our cameraman asks the male man to deliver his meat package to her private box, the interview shifts to a full-blown action sequence. Analee is filled to the brim for the rest of the scene and she sounds like she's digging every thrust and thump. Analee's said before that she has a CMNF fetish (sex with clothed man while nude). Her fuck partner doesn't join in that interesting kink but he does give her a pre-fuck fingering that Analee likes.
What Members are saying about this update...

Here's what it would cost for the Falcons to trade up to the No. 1 spot to land Jadeveon Clowney.
The Falcons have to make up 1,400 points in the Draft Trade Value Chart.
After the Falcons and Texans flopped first-round picks there would be 1,400 point differential. The Falcons' second-round pick (530 points) and third-round pick (250 points) this year, would leave them short of 620 points.
The Falcons would likely have to send next season's first-round pick to make up the difference, if they believe the Falcons will draft 30th or lower next season.
If the Falcons win the Super Bowl, the 32nd pick would have the value of 590.
Let's sum that up, it would be a 4-for-1 trade.
–Falcons would get No. 1 overall 2014 pick.
–Texas would get No. 6 overall 2014, No. 37 (second), No. 68 (third) and next year's No. 1.
Would you make that deal?.

Skip to comments.No sissified code words for me: I'm a liberal
Posted on 11/21/2004 1:56:30 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
I am a liberal, born and bred, complete and unadulterated, pure and simple, without any hyphenated prefix or suffix
Furthermore, it is an appellation I wear openly and proudly, even in this hyperconservative state and in these excruciatingly conservative times. I have done so since I first became politically astute enough to understand the available label choices, some fifty50 or so years ago.
I do not shy away from it as I have witnessed some doing in recent times, choosing to distance themselves from those of us still willing to be properly classified. They engage in linguistic legerdemain by calling themselves moderates, middle-of-the-roaders or some other such mealy-mouthed, mushy, nondescript, euphemistically sissified term, as though they are embarrassed by the old designation whichthat correctly and properly describes our social and political philosophy.
Moreover, I resent deeply that some, for their own selfish political benefits, and to put us on the defense, have been able to give the word a pejorative connotation, somehow labeling anyone brazen enough to still be recognized by the name as some kind of freak, bent on opening the treasury so as to, God forbid, create a welfare state, peopled by hoochie mamas, illegitimate children and illegal aliens, speaking some foreign tongue, while lapping up money at the public trough.
And worst of all, the term has been so successfully demonized and given such a symbolic negative racial connotation by those on the far right that, in the South particularly, it has separated us, on that spurious basis, from those with whom our shared economic status and interest ought to dictate the making of common cause.
As angry as I am about what we have permitted to be foisted upon us by our political enemies, I am equally upset that other liberals have shied away from so labeling themselves.
Liberalism is a proud tradition, and I believe it represents the bedrock principles upon which this country is founded. It is the leavening which softens the stark harshness of a pure capitalistic society and makes it palatable to those of us who care for people who, for whatever reason, cannot always successfully navigate life completely on their own.
Liberalism is the principle that glorifies and revels in the beautiful diversity of this land in all its multicultural, multiracial and multi-lingual aspects. After all, we are a country of immigrants, whether voluntary or forced. As I see it, liberalism is a philosophy that supports a strong role for government in ensuring that all are able to live a decent life and share in the bounties of this incredibly blessed country, regardless of the stations of life into which they were born. And, if government is not about making life just a little bit better by doing those things that require a collective endeavor, such as security, both physical and financial, by creating a military for the former and programs such as Medicare and Social Security to deal with the latter, and helping those who find themselves in a position of needing temporary support, through safety nets like Medicaid, public housing and food stamps, then, pray tell, what in the world is it for? And, perhaps, most important of all, liberalism is about a belief in an entitlement to a good, publicly provided education for all citizens, not just those who can afford to send their children to private institutions so that we all may take part in this participatory democracy as informed citizens.
Certainly, government does not exist simply to ensure that the rich get richer and the powerful gain more power, while the poor remain poor. It is not unpatriotic to be a liberal, either, and the suggestion that it is makes this old 82nd Airborne paratrooper's blood boil. I was drafted, served without complaint (OK, without too much complaint), and was willing to put my life on the line if that had become necessary. And, as I near the seventh decade of life, I am happy to stand as a yellow-dog, East Texas, Franklin Roosevelt liberal in all my unsullied glory.

***...........The intoxicating vision of a social redemption achieved by Them - this is what creates the left, and makes the believers so self-righteous.
And it did so long before Karl Marx. It is the vision of this redemption that continues to inspire and animate them despite the still-fresh ruins of their Communist dreams.
It is this same idea that is found in the Social Gospel which impressed the youthful Hillary Clinton at the United Methodist Church in Park Ridge, Illinois. She later encountered the same idea in the New Left at Yale and in the Venceremos Brigade in Communist Cuba, and in the writings of the New Leftist who introduced her to the "politics of meaning" even after she had become America's First Lady. It is the idea that drives her comrades in the Children's Defense Fund, the National Organization for Women, the Al Sharpton House of Justice and the other progressive causes which for that reason still look to her as a political leader.
For these self-appointed social redeemers, the goal-"social justice"-is not about rectifying particular injustices, which would be practical and modest, and therefore conservative. Their crusade is about rectifying injustice in the very order of things. "Social Justice" for them is about a world reborn, a world in which prejudice and violence are absent, in which everyone is equal and equally advantaged and without fundamentally conflicting desires. It is a world that could only come into being through a re-structuring of human nature and of society itself.
Even though they are too prudent and self-protective to name this future anymore, the post-Communist left still passionately believes it possible. But it is a world that has never existed and never will. Moreover, as the gulags and graveyards of the last century attest, to attempt the impossible is to invite the catastrophic in the world we know.
But the fall of Communism taught the progressives who were its supporters very little. Above all, it failed to teach them the connection between their utopian ideals and the destructive consequences that flowed from them. The fall of Communism has had a cautionary impact only on the overt agendas of the political left. The arrogance that drives them has hardly diminished. The left is like a millenarian sect that erroneously predicted the end of the world, and now must regroup to revitalize its faith.
No matter how opportunistically the left's agendas have been modified, however, no matter how circumspectly its goals have been set, no matter how generous its concessions to political reality, the faithful have not given up their self-justifying belief that they can bring about a social redemption. In other words, a world in which human consciousness is changed, human relations refashioned, social institutions transformed, and in which "social justice" prevails.
Because the transformation progressives seek is ultimately total, the power they seek must be total as well. In the end, the redemption they envision cannot be achieved as a political compromise, even though compromises may be struck along the way. Their brave new world can ultimately be secured only by the complete surrender of the resisting force. In short, the transformation of the world requires the permanent entrenchment of the saints in power. Therefore, everything is justified that serves to achieve the continuance of Them. ........***
Yep, can't get anymore sissy than that!
An honest Liberal? Definitely the last of a dying breed.
Pity, that.
Liberals believe they are smarter, smarter than history. Perhaps the greatest element to to being today's liberal is conceit.
Sissified code words for "I'm a Communist...."
I wonder if the writer wants his kids being educated by openly homosexual Marxists who will teach them to grow up and throw Molotov cocktails at SUVs? Does the writer want his taxes to be increased for tax incentives for same sex partners to join in state-sponsored unions and expensive divorce procedings involving the redefinition of marriage? Does the writer want immigration based on deviant unions between Americans and their foreign tryst partners? Does the writer really believe that our support for Holocaust survivors to have their own 37,000 square kilometer state in Israel is responsible for the bitter, genocidal hatred of their oil-wealthy neighbors? I'm sorry to be so blunt, but liberals need to reevaluate what they mean by liberal.
So, by his own words has the author labeled himself as the enemy.
You want socialism? Move to France!

LIBERALS don't believe in individual ability and achievement. They believe they must guide and transform lives. It is an arrogance they thrive on.
Yep. Pride, too. Along the lines of "I WILL be like unto the Most High". Sound familiar? (Oh and while we're at it let's kill unborn children and fool around with cloning and pretend we're ,oh I don't know, A Creator like God?!?!)
How can the original author label redistribution of wealth as a bedrock principal this country was founded on?
Where is this from: "I WILL be like unto the Most High". ??
They believe no one is capable of making it on their own. And even when people do need a helping hand, liberals don't want to let people decide what help they need - they want to decide what help people need.
LIBERAL elite need dumb, depressed, dependent people to rule. They champion misery so they can feel that pain and become caretakers of lives. They need to sell dependence, unaccountability and discontent.
It's an impossible dream. Humanity withers and dies without hope, education and independence. LIBERALISM fails everywhere it is tried.
Lucifer (aka the Devil, Satan etc) wanted to sit on God's throne and be worshipped like these liberals do.
It's not America's bedrock.
LIBERALS lie.
You're right!
***.....Conservatives who think progressives are misinformed idealists will forever be blind-sided by the malice of the left-by the cynicism of those who pride themselves on principle, by the viciousness of those who champion sensitivity, by the intolerance of those who call themselves liberal, and by the ruthless disregard for the well-being of the downtrodden by those who preen themselves as social saints....*** [LINK in Post #2]
I also think the term liberal meant more when our founding fathers and their muses, the Enlightenment era thinkers used it. These days I think traditional liberals need to be loaded for bear if they want to survive. The communists, Arabists, and gender benders are taking over the word. It's time for a fierce battle for what we had before the flower power people usurped the ideas of tolerance and progress that our Greatest Generation used (and sometimes misused).
"If you're not a liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you don't become a conservative by the time you're 40, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN." - Winston Churchill
Brainless wonder alert!
In response I will say the one thing that is most hurtful to a liberal who's crowing his liberalism from the rooftops: WHO CARES?
A classical liberal is today's American style conservative/libertarian.
The modern Left traces its roots to communism, obviously, and accomodationist monarchism (a la Bismarck), not so obviously.
I know, but this guy is really convinced that he is right. Sad.
When I was a young man, I felt attracted to the Young Marx's idea of alienation. His idea of a communist society sounds a lot like libertarian one: where freed from the drudgery of material compulsion, people would find their own happiness in pursuing their own talents. Some would fish and others would paint. The point is man would not be acted by an outside force against himself; man would be the master of his own nature and the agent of his own well-being. Sounds idyllic doesn't it? The flaw in the theory as attractive as it sounds, is that if getting rid of alienation would make men happy, it would already happen and no force would be required to liberate human beings from the bonds that keep them from connecting to their real selves. And there is no evidence any communist society has managed to make people happy by freeing them of wants and renewing their once-lost freedom and authentic state of being.
And an excess of Rousseau, Marat, and de Sade?
Yes. The social cancer of the Sixties needs to be cured.
You are correct. When I joined FR yesterday, I wanted the screen name "classical liberal", but it was taken. So I settled for market liberal. Surely no one on here will think that any of my views fall in line with modern liberalism.
I consider myself a moderate on social issues and a hawk on national security but my family says that I am a "conservative" because I just voted Republican - I have never had any problem with the liberal agenda as you have expressed it - I can identify with most of your ideals - but I do have a problem with how the Democratic party has become hostage to the extremism of the very groups that they espouse to champion - so today the Democrats are the party of extremism, intolerance and crackpots - intolerance expressed as a disdain for people of faith along similar lines of how social conversatives at one time dissed monorities - I hope the Dems come to their collective senses - I notice how negative most of the responses are to your posting - what a shame that an idealistic vision such as yours is shot down due to the idiotic position the Dems are now in - so every conservative now lumps together the liberal ideal with the nuttiness of the latter day Democratic party - what happened to the middle road?
Yes. So they must be controlled until They can bring about the proper order of things.
Ask Michael Moore or George Soros.
Don't feel sorry for LIBERALS.
They destroy lives.
The French Revolution paid more in blood than it obtained in the fruits of liberty.
It is sad to me that these people have benefitted just as much as me from every drop of blood that has spilled in defense of liberty.
Sheila "Don't you know who I am!" Jackson-Lee's buddy.
The lessons of the last two centuries have taught us rapid progress in the name of equality results in totalitarianism. I'm a champion of freedom - not of equality.
Nothing new here---just another socialist calling himself a liberal.
Why? Wasn't it because they refused to recognize the limits of both individual rights and rights of the state? At one point, everything became a right to the left in the French revolution. And the state had enough power, finally, to conduct endless beheadings.
Rousseau had some good ideas that were used by our Founding Fathers. But I think besides the social contract, they also felt that the state should be very limited in its power to pursue utopian ambitions.
The left wing of the Democratic party is rapidly becoming the new "National Socialists", in ALL respects.
The modern Democrat party has been hijacked by extremists, mostly socialists who have perpetuated the 10 planks of communism as if they were versus from the bible.
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.
7. Extention of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
Oh, and here's a little "ditty" called "Why we are Socialists." Check on the author when you done in the link.
Why Are We Socialists?
Socialism is the doctrine of liberation for the working class. It promotes the rise of the fourth class and its incorporation in the political organism of our Fatherland, and is inextricably bound to breaking the present slavery and the regaining of freedom. Socialism therefore is not merely a matter of the oppressed class, but a matter for everyone, for freeing the German people from slavery is the goal of contemporary policy. Socialism gains its true form only through a total combat brotherhood with the forward-striving energies of a newly awakened nationalism. Without nationalism it is nothing, a phantom, a mere theory, a castle in the sky, a book. With it it is everything, the future, freedom, the fatherland!
The sin of liberal thinking was to overlook socialism's nation-building strengths, thereby allowing its energies to go in anti-national directions. The sin of Marxism was to degrade socialism into a question of wages and the stomach, putting it in conflict with the state and its national existence. An understanding of both these facts leads us to a new sense of socialism, which sees its nature as nationalistic, state-building, liberating and constructive.
The bourgeois is about to leave the historical stage. In its place will come the class of productive workers, the working class, that has been up until today oppressed. It is beginning to fulfill its political mission. It is involved in a hard and bitter struggle for political power as it seeks to become part of the national organism. The battle began in the economic realm; it will finish in the political. It is not merely a matter of pay, not only a matter of the number of hours worked in a day though we may never forget that these are an essential, perhaps even the most significant part of the socialist platform but it is much more a matter of incorporating a powerful and responsible class in the state, perhaps even to make it the dominant force in the future politics of the fatherland. The bourgeois does not want to recognize the strength of the working class. Marxism has forced it into a straitjacket that will ruin it. While the working class gradually disintegrates in the Marxist front, bleeding itself dry, the bourgeois and Marxism have agreed on the general lines of capitalism, and see their task now to protect and defend it in various ways, often concealed.
We are socialists because we see the social question as a matter of necessity and justice for the very existence of a state for our people, not a question of cheap pity or insulting sentimentality. The worker has a claim to a living standard that corresponds to what he produces. We have no intention of begging for that right. Incorporating him in the state organism is not only a critical matter for him, but for the whole nation. The question is larger than the eight-hour day. It is a matter of forming a new state consciousness that includes every productive citizen. Since the political powers of the day are neither willing nor able to create such a situation, socialism must be fought for. It is a fighting slogan both inwardly and outwardly. It is aimed domestically at the bourgeois parties and Marxism at the same time, because both are sworn enemies of the coming workers' state. It is directed abroad at all powers that threaten our national existence and thereby the possibility of the coming socialist national state.
Hillary will transform herself as a moderate, as she prepares for her 2008 run and her fellow LIBERALS will follow quietly, disguising their own pathology, because she is the "vessel of their hope" to take back power.
It was a "perfect" storm.
You obviously just sullied yourself. You should go wipe.
Hoochie mamas. I like that. Is that a regional expression?
#2 is good, thanks.
They no longer exist. FDR believed in work, in prayer and in family. Today's Democrats believe in welfare, in secularism and in alternative lifestyles. FDR would not recognize his own party today.
And there is his agenda. Turning the U.S. into one big teet for all the freeloaders of the world to suckle at, while the few Americans left working their 80 hour weeks pay for it. doesn't it just warm your heart to know that the illegal aliens are honored more than they hard working Americans that pay the taxes.
FDR in some ways made the party of today inevitable. He got America used to Uncle Sam's insulation from the vagaries of nature. He tolerated communists in his entourage. He negotiated with Stalin over central Europe, Korea, Vietnam, and eurasia. Most of all, he taught them that the government was their best friend.
The New Deal was probably required given the Depression. But it could have had an expiration tag attached to it.
Ever see the film about the construction of Hoover Dam? Those guys worked! That's what public projects were about in those days: providing people who wanted to work - and knew how to work - with jobs.
Don't think you're right when you say old time liberals no longer exist. I'm one of them. We're just as baffled as conservatives about the new PC reality, and perhaps even more confused as to what to do about it.
Bravo! Bravissimo!! The best summary of Liberalism and its toxic outcomes I've ever read. You have distilled its deadly essence, sir. May we hope for more?

'I'm learning to accept my injury. I can see the bigger picture; I'm not in denial the way I was'
Melanie Reid broke her neck and back falling from a horse in April 2010.
She spent 12 months in rehab and is now tetraplegic.
My favourite definition of pessimism has always been that of the person who, on smelling the roses, invariably glances around for the coffin. That, and Chuck Palahniuk's lovely line: "What people forget is a journey to nowhere starts with a single step, too."
As a general rule, gloominess, like the devil, gets all the good lines, all the biggest laughs and certainly the best songs. While optimism, by comparison, is a bit Pollyanna-esque; far too shiny

Bernard Kelly was standing next to his best friend, Zachary Sanders, in the parking lot of a bar when a Lexus rammed into the two men and killed Sanders, Kelly testified Wednesday in Superior Court in Newark.
The car, allegedly with Sanders' ex-girlfriend Natasha White behind the wheel that night in April 2007, hit Kelly's right leg, propelling him over the car's hood and landing him on the other side of the Lexus, he said. Kelly said Sanders ended up on the car's hood and White kept driving, even as Sanders banged on her windshield repeatedly and shouted at her to stop.
White drove out of the parking lot of the Rubicon Bar in Orange as Kelly ran after her, yelling at her to stop, he said. By the time she did, Kelly said, he no longer could see his friend, who had fallen beneath the Lexus.
"I lost sight of him; his hands flailed back," Kelly said.
He said he ran to the driver's side and shouted at White to get out of the car.
"I said, 'What the (expletive) are you doing? You know you just ran over Zach,'" Kelly testified.
After she refused, Kelly said, he pulled her out through the car's window and the two tussled until police arrived and arrested White. He said officers recognized White from an incident at the same location the previous week.
Kelly then walked over to the car and reached under, grabbing hold of Sanders' hands, according to his testimony. He said he felt Sanders' body twitching.
"It was disgusting," Kelly told the court. "He was twisted up. You couldn't tell his right from his left foot. "I told him, 'I got you. I'm going to get you out of here.'"
A police officer then came over and pulled Kelly away from the scene, he said.
Prosecutors allege White was an irate ex-girlfriend who intended to kill Sanders after he decided to end their affair. White is charged with murder and with using her Lexus as a weapon to kill the 33-year-old Orange resident at 11 p.m. on April 9, 2007, outside the bar, at Lincoln Avenue and Main Street in Orange.
White also is charged with criminal mischief in an incident in which she allegedly used her car to ram Sanders' Infiniti less than two weeks earlier at the bar, which is located at Lincoln Avenue and Main Street.
Defense attorney Champ Goldman has said Sanders' death was an accident, and that an accident-reconstruction expert will show he actually jumped on the hood of White's car, causing his death.
During cross-examination, Goldman asked Kelly to recreate the incident by stepping down from the witness stand and using the prosecutor's table as a makeshift car. As Kelly demonstrated how he was hit, Goldman questioned how it was possible he did not require medical attention.
"You're hit by a fast-moving car, land on part of the hood, fly over the top, land on the ground," he said.
"I wouldn't say 'fly,'" Kelly said.
"Would you say 'walk?'" Goldman responded.
"I didn't think it was that important considering you just see someone get killed," Kelly replied.
Goldman said Kelly's testimony that his right leg was hit contradicts the police report from that evening, in which he said it was his left leg.
"I just witnessed my best friend's murder. A lot of things were going on," Kelly said.
When asked if he had been drinking that evening, Kelly responded he had consumed two drinks. But Goldman said Kelly's October 2007 grand jury testimony indicated he had not been drinking.
"No, sir, I believe you are misconstruing the testimony," Kelly said, explaining he meant he was not drunk.
Goldman also asked Kelly if he actually saw Sanders land on the hood or fall under the car. Kelly Wednesday said he was on the ground and saw his friend on the hood only after he looked up after the fall.
"You didn't see him go up on the hood. You saw him up on the hood after you were on the ground," Goldman said. "You don't have any idea how he fell under the car."
The trial resumes today.

JACKSON, MI – About 15 to 20 cats and kittens that have called the Jackson County Incinerator home will soon be looking for new places to live.
The flame went out at the incinerator, or Resource Recovery Facility, a few weeks ago but still is open and accepting waste until it is decommissioned in December. Facility officials have until then to find new homes for the felines and are hoping Jackson County residents can help.
Before they will be ready for adoption, facility officials are working with the Cascades Humane Society to have the cats spayed or neutered.
"They're going to bring crates out for us to capture them and spay or neuter as soon as they have spots available," Lori Pelham, the facility's compliance manager said.
While the humane society can perform the surgeries, there is no room for the cats to stay, so they will have to come back to the incinerator, Pelham said.
Officials from the Cascades Humane Society were not available for comment.
The cats began showing up at the incinerator facility about five years ago when a female cat most likely wandered over from the Parnall Correctional Facility, which sits adjacent to the facility, Pelham said.
"There's a whole generation of them," she said adding that over the years some residential customers have adopted a few.
For years, Pelham has been telling facility employees that instead of feeding the cats, a fund needed to be created in order to have them spayed or neutered and eventually adopted out. Instead, big-hearted employees continued to feed the cats secretly at night.
"I would see an empty plate when I came to work the next morning," Pelham said. "They never run out of things to eat."
As of now, there is no concrete plan to pay for the surgeries, but facility employees have offered to donate money to the cause.
"At this point, we don't know what we are going to do but we can't just leave them there," she said.
While the felines could be dropped off at the Jackson County Animal Shelter, Pelham knows they will most likely be euthanized due to the mass number of cats the shelter has. Shelter officials have dubbed the shelter "kitten mountain." While the shelter is required to take in every animal dropped off, the humane society is not.
"We will avoid at all costs taking them to shelter, we really want to find good homes for them," Pelham said.
Those walking in the front door to the facility will most likely get a friendly hello from a group of cats that like to sit on a set of concrete steps located to the right of the facility entrance.
"They always meow at me when I walk out the door," Pelham said.
For more information on the cats or to adopt one call Resource Recovery Facility Administrative Assistant Mark Cole at 517-788-4008.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
China was a wonderful place to visit and has changed rapidly, in many ways for the better, over the past two decades; however, my brief time outside of the United States this year reinforced my appreciation for my citizenship. Thanks to our founders in 1776 and all those who have sacrificed in the 236 years since then to preserve our country, we live under the rule of law striving for liberty and justice for all. Not every challenge was met in 1776, the Constitution was still eleven years away, slavery was not ended until another seventy-five years after the ratification of the Constitution, women only received the right to vote 102 years ago, and we still have problems to solve. Nonetheless, recognizing the truths stated in the Declaration of Independence has resulted in a republic that has been able to consistently strike an appropriate balance between individual liberty and the collective good. This is certainly worthy of celebrating every July 4th!
On Pentecost Sunday a small group of us from Saint Vincent attended mass at the Cathedral of Shanghai, pictured to the right. The church was packed for a high Latin mass. Each of the pillars inside had a flat screen monitor so that everyone had a close-up view of the altar. As delightful as it was to see so many people at mass, I could not help but reflect on the division between the Church in China and Rome. The root cause of this division is the Chinese government's interference in the ordination of Bishops. While we can be thankful that we have much more religious liberty in the United States, we also have to be mindful of unnecessary encroachments on that liberty such as the recent move by the current administration to mandate that religious organizations provide "health care services" that violate their moral principles. Let us pray for a speedy reconsideration of that policy.
In his excellent recent book "Turning's Cathedral", George Dyson describes how a group of visionary mathematicians and dedicated engineers, many of whom fled the tragedy and tumult of anti-Semitism, fascism, and communism in Europe, were able to begin the digital revolution by building one of the first computers at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1952. The picture to the left shows John von Neumann and Robert Oppenheimer (he's the one with the cigarette) in front of the Electronic Computer Project in 1952. This computer was the first to store both the code and its output in 5 kilobytes worth of random access memory. Earlier computers had to print out their output for each step of a differential equation to punch cards or paper tapes only to be read back in as the input to the next step. This digital revolution and its many offspring – the Hydrogen bomb, the Internet, space exploration, and the human genome project, just to name a few – have their roots in our country because of our freedom and the opportunity that freedom provides. Freedom and opportunity have a tremendous power to both produce talented and motivated individuals within our country and attract those with a similar spirit from elsewhere. This is another reason to pause and reflect on our blessings this July 4th.
As we celebrate our July 4th holiday, the evening fireworks provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the summer time night sky. This July 4th, the Full Moon will be rising as the sky darkens at about 9:30pm. This should provide a wonderful celestial addition to the pyrotechnic displays. In addition to the Moon rising in the eastern sky, two planets, Mars and Saturn, will grace the western sky. Saturn will be a bright yellow point above the blue star Spica. They will be a close pair of approximately equal brightness about 30 degrees about the horizon. Mars will be more westward, slightly lower toward the horizon and orange in color. In the northern sky, the Big Dipper will be the highlight while in the south, the ominous looking constellation of Scorpio the scorpion will be center stage. The star chart below can be used to find the planets and constellations that will be visible at 10pm on the night of July 4th. Happy Fourth of July - I hope you catch a great view fireworks and the night sky.

Juan Cole: Why the Iraqi elections don't mean peaceRoundup: Historians' Take
' not only get rid of the Americans but to also get rid of the Shiite-dominated government.
"It's an extremist government [and] we would like an end to the occupation," said Ahmed Majid, 31."Really the only true solution is through politics. But there is the occupation and the only way that will end is with weapons."
Even in insurgent bastions such as Ramadi and Haqlaniyah, Sunnis were turning out in large numbers.
"I came here and voted in order to prove that Sunnis are not a minority in this country," said lawyer Yahya Abdul-Jalil in Ramadi."We lost a lot during the last elections, but this time we will take our normal and key role in leading this country." '
It is not actually a positive sign for the Americans that Sunni Arabs came out to vote in order to get rid of them, to see if they couldn't get rid of the current pro-American government, to underline that the armed struggle will continue, and to prove that Sunni Arabs (20% of so of the population) are a majority of the country! The American faith that if people go to the polls it means they won't also be blowing things up is badly misplaced.
Consider this news item from Northern Ireland in 1982:
' Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Provisional IRA, has won its first seats in the elections to the new Ulster Assembly.
Gerry Adams, vice president of Sinn Fein, took the Belfast West seat. It is the first time his party has stood for election since the Troubles began.
Mr Adams, 34, made clear that being elected would not stop the IRA's campaign of violence.
"The IRA have said that while the British army is in Ireland they will be there fighting" he said. '
Now let us consider this item from three years later, 1985:
' Thirteen people have been arrested in connection with a suspected IRA mainland bombing campaign uncovered by police two days ago.
The men - who are being held under the Prevention of Terrorism Act - include a 33-year-old from Belfast, suspected of carrying out the attack on the Conservative Cabinet in the Brighton Grand Hotel last year.
It is feared the IRA may have planted devices in a dozen seaside resorts around the UK - timed to go off at the height of the summer season - and a massive police hunt has been launched. '
Could the presence of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the militant Irish Republican Army, in the North Ireland assembly have had an effect on the peace negotiations in the mid-1990s? Sure. But my point is that these campaigns, the political and the bombing, can go on simultaneously for over a decade.
