Quotes of the day
posted at 10:47 pm on April 18, 2012 by Allahpundit
"In a bid to win independents, President Obama's campaign is ramping up efforts to label Mitt Romney a hardcore conservative…
"The official described Romney as a conservative who wants to get rid of abortion and gay marriage and opposes the DREAM Act, which would provide a path to legal residency for children brought to the country as illegal immigrants. The official, mindful of Obama's hope to win a large percentage of Hispanic voters, said Romney wants to deport all of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country…
"'No one forced Mitt Romney to wrap his arms around the Tea Party and take the most extreme position on immigration of any candidate in modern history, but that is the platform he has decided to embrace throughout the campaign,' said Jen Psaki, a former Obama aide."
"Great things can grow out of stupid stories. Fehrnstrom jacked into an emerging, jokey conservative meme. It even had a hashtag: #ObamaDogReceipes. 'John McCain's presidential campaign wouldn't have touched this anecdote with a ten-foot pole,' wrote the National Review's Jim Geraghty. 'Between this and the Romney camp's rapid response to the Rosen comments, we are seeing a Republican presidential campaign that is exponentially faster on its feet and way more nimble than the previous general-election campaign against Obama.'
"That was the point. Republican voters, the choosey people who made Romney survive three months of primaries, believe that Barack Obama won too easily in 2008. The media and the McCain campaign failed to 'vet' him. I heard iterations of the theory when South Carolina Republicans blew their kingmaker record and chose Newt Gingrich over Romney. Gingrich, they told me, would 'eviscerate' and 'lacerate' Obama. McCain? Poor guy had his chance, and he wimped out…
"Michael Goldfarb applauds the Romney campaign's punch-back abilities—but only up to a point. 'They've been attacked on the dog thing to an insane level,' he says. 'They get an opportunity, and they hit back. But both this and the Rosen thing were totally reactive. This was a response to the Seamus story, that was a response to the 'war on women.' You don't see them going after character and bio, which were the things McCain was accused of going soft on.'"
"Romney is going to be a lot tougher on Obama than was McCain in 2008. For all the complaints against his moderation by the tea-party base, they will slowly rally to him as he makes arguments against Obama of the sort that McCain was perceived as unable or unwilling to make. So far Romney's attitude is that he is in the arena where blows come thick and fast, and one can't whine when being hit or hitting — a view far preferable to McCain's lectures about what not to say or do in 2008. Left-wing preemptory charges that Romney is 'swift-boating' or 'going negative' will probably have slight effect on him. Just as Bill Clinton saw that Dukakis in 1988 had wanted to be liked rather than feared and so himself ran a quite different, tough 1992 race, so too Romney knows where McCain's magnanimity got him in 2008. Romney won't be liked by the press, knows it, and perhaps now welcomes it."
"The idea that Obama has brought us out of the light when he's plunged us deeper into the sinkhole of debt, that somehow Obama has opened up Washington DC to make it as transparent and open as possible when they've done all of these deals and subverted the rule of law behind close doors. That somehow Obama is more likable than any Republican and somehow he's a nice guy – I hate hearing this from Mitt Romney, he's got to get this talking point out of his mouth. Barack Obama is not a nice guy. He has dealt brutally with the Right, with people like Paul Ryan and brave Republicans who have been calling him to the carpet on all of the disgust and culture of corruption that has reigned."

Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height.
Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression.
One of the best strategies to reduce childhood obesity is to improve the diet and exercise habits of your entire family. Treating and preventing childhood obesity helps protect the health of your child now and in the future.
Not all children carrying extra pounds are overweight or obese. Some children have larger than average body frames. And children normally carry different amounts of body fat at the various stages of development. So you might not know just by looking at your child if his or her weight is a health concern.
Your child's doctor can help you figure out if your child's weight could pose health problems using growth charts and, if necessary, other tests.
If you're worried that your child is putting on too much weight, talk to his or her doctor. Your child's doctor will consider your child's individual history of growth and development, your family's weight-for-height history, and where your child lands on the growth charts. This can help determine if your child's weight is in an unhealthy range.
Your child's family doctor or pediatrician will probably make the initial diagnosis of childhood obesity. If your child has complications from being obese, you'll likely be referred to additional specialists to help manage all your child's conditions.
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared for any appointments you have with your child's health care team. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and know what you can expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For childhood obesity, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to your prepared questions, don't hesitate to ask additional questions that may come up during your child's appointment.
During your appointment, your doctor or other health provider is likely to ask you a number of questions about your child's eating, activity, mood and thoughts, and any symptoms your child might have. You may be asked such questions as:
If you have several days or weeks before your child's scheduled appointment, you can start making some changes on your own to your family's eating and activity levels as you begin the journey to lose weight. Start preparing healthier meals for your family, and encourage your child to be active by taking walks, going for bike rides or playing sports. It's also a good idea to start keeping a record of what your child eats and how much he or she exercises.
As part of regular well-child care, the doctor calculates your child's body mass index (BMI) and determines where it falls on the national BMI-for-age growth chart. The BMI helps indicate if your child is overweight for his or her age and height.
Using the growth chart, your doctor determines your child's percentile, meaning how your child compares with other children of the same sex and age. So, for example, you might be told that your child is in the 80th percentile. This means that compared with other children of the same sex and age, 80 percent have a lower BMI.
Cutoff points on these growth charts, established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), help identify overweight and obese children:
Because BMI doesn't consider things like being muscular or having a larger than average body frame and because growth patterns vary greatly among children, your doctor also factors your child's growth and development into consideration. This helps determine whether your child's weight is a health concern.
In addition to BMI and charting weight on the growth charts, the doctor also evaluates:
Your child's doctor may order blood tests if he or she finds that your child is obese. These tests include:
Some of these tests require that your child not eat or drink anything before the test. Your child's doctor should tell you whether your child needs to fast before a blood test and for how long.
Treatment for childhood obesity is based on your child's age and if he or she has other medical conditions. Treatment usually includes changes in your child's diet and level of physical activity. In certain circumstances, treatment may include medications or weight-loss surgery.
For children and teens who are overweight or mildly obese with no other health concerns, the goal of treatment may be weight maintenance rather than weight loss. This strategy allows the child to add inches in height but not pounds, causing BMI-for-age to drop over time into a healthier range. However, for an obese child, maintaining weight while waiting to grow taller may be as difficult as losing weight is for older people.
Weight loss is typically recommended for obese children and teens and for children younger than 6 who have obesity-related health concerns. Weight loss should be slow and steady — anywhere from 2 pounds (about 0.9 kilograms) a week to 1 pound a month — depending on your child's condition.
The methods for maintaining your child's current weight or losing weight are the same: Your child needs to eat a healthy diet and increase his or her physical activity. Success depends largely on your commitment to helping your child make these changes.
Parents are the ones who buy the food, cook the food and decide where the food is eaten. Even small changes can make a big difference in your child's health.
A critical part of weight loss, especially for children, is physical activity. It not only burns calories but also builds strong bones and muscles and helps children sleep well at night and stay alert during the day. Such habits established in childhood help adolescents maintain healthy weight despite the hormonal changes, rapid growth and social influences that often lead to overeating. And active children are more likely to become fit adults.
To increase your child's activity level:
Only one prescription weight-loss drug is available in the United States for adolescents: orlistat (Xenical). Orlistat, which is approved for adolescents older than 12, prevents the absorption of fat in the intestines. Prescription medication isn't often recommended for adolescents. The risks of taking a prescription medication long term are unknown, and the medication's effect on weight loss and weight maintenance for adolescents is still questioned. And weight-loss drugs don't replace the need to adopt a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
If your child has high cholesterol, it's possible your doctor may recommend giving your child a statin medication. Statins help lower cholesterol, but their use in children remains controversial since it's uncertain what long-term side effects they might have. Because of disagreement in the medical community about treating high cholesterol in children, talk to your child's doctor about what's best for your child.
Weight-loss surgery can be a safe and effective option for some severely obese adolescents who have been unable to lose weight using conventional weight-loss methods. However, as with any type of surgery, there are potential risks and long-term complications. Also, the long-term effects of weight-loss surgery on a child's future growth and development are largely unknown.
Weight-loss surgery in adolescents is uncommon. But your doctor may recommend this surgery if your child's weight poses a greater health threat than do the potential risks of surgery. It is important that a child being considered for weight-loss surgery meet with a team of pediatric specialists, including a pediatric endocrinologist.
Even so, surgery isn't the easy answer for weight loss. It doesn't guarantee that your child will lose all of his or her excess weight or that your child will keep it off long term. It also doesn't replace the need for following a healthy diet and regular physical activity program.
Because medications and surgeries aren't recommended for children age 12 and younger and aren't often recommended for children older than 12, lifestyle changes are usually the best childhood obesity treatment. Your child's best chance to get to a healthy weight is to start eating a healthy diet and exercising more.
Parents are the ones who buy the food, cook the food and decide where the food is eaten. Even small changes can make a big difference in your child's health.
Physical activity is a crucial part of getting to and maintaining a healthy weight. Activity burns calories and helps build strong bones and muscles. It also helps children sleep well at night and stay alert during the day. Establishing healthy habits in childhood increases the odds that your teen will be able to maintain a healthy weight despite the hormonal changes, rapid growth and social influences that often lead to overeating. Active children also are more likely to become fit adults.
To increase your child's activity level:
Parents play a crucial role in helping children who are obese feel loved and in control of their weight. Take advantage of every opportunity to build your child's self-esteem. Don't be afraid to bring up the topic of health and fitness but do be sensitive that a child may view your concern as an insult. Talk to your kids directly, openly, and without being critical or judgmental.
In addition, consider the following advice:

On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," we'll talk a little bit about the end of the world. More specifically, the end of the world as we know it. Someone devised an acronym to express that concept. It's TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It).
As usual, Hollywood jumped on the bandwagon. But there have been others talking about the end of the world as we know it for quite some time. A few come readily to mind: the Mayans, Nostradamus, St. Malachy, the Hopis, and others. For some years, Hollywood has had a whole genre of films that capitalized on the public's fascination with TEOTWAWKI.
However, as we approach the year 2012, this fascination is mushrooming. The Mayan Calendar seems to indicate that something dramatic will happen in that year. So does the Great Pyramid at Cheops. Hollywood has a major motion picture coming out in November that 'refers' to that prediction. It's called "2012." I'll show you a glimpse into what some filmmakers think might happen on the 'fateful' day, December 21, 2012.
How much stock should we Christians put in these types of 'prophecies'? Tune in this week and I'll tell you what I think.
Also, we'll take a closer look at "this generation." The Bible says that the generation that sees the rebirth of Israel will not 'pass away' without also witnessing the end of this Age. What does that mean? On this week's program, I'm going to discuss exactly what this generation has seen and what it can expect to see in the near future.
If you want to get excited about what's headed our way and what it means to the Christian, don't miss this week's Report on TBN, Daystar, CPM Network, Inspiration, various local stations, The Hal Lindsey Report or HisChannel - Christian TV.

On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," I'll continue my discussion of "The End Of The World As We Know It." Last week, I examined the sense of foreboding that people are feeling. Even non-believers feel that major changes are coming, that something cataclysmic is about to happen. Many have studied the predictions of seers such as Nostradamus and Saint Malachy or ancient civilizations like the Mayans or the Egyptians. Hollywood has capitalized on this uneasiness for years with an entire genre of films that focus on TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It). The latest obsession is with the year 2012.
This week, I'll answer some of the questions that many of you have about the timing and order of events leading up to the Rapture of the Church, then to that time of terrible tribulation on the earth. We'll discuss which prophecies, if any, remain to be fulfilled before these events can occur. We'll also look at the Age of Grace. What is it and when will it end? We'll discuss exactly what will trigger the end of this current Age. That moment is known only to the Father. Even Jesus in his human nature said He didn't know the hour or the day of that event. This Age began with a mystery and a miracle and will end with a mystery and a miracle.
I believe we live in the most exciting time in history. And maybe one of the scariest! That's why it's urgent that you make certain your family, your friends, your neighbors, and your co-workers have received the gift of pardon that Jesus makes available to them. The events I discuss this week could happen at any moment, even today. You do not want them to be on this earth after the Body of Christ departs!

On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," as we approach the "deadline" for Iran to begin serious talks with the West, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave us a preview of coming attractions. He told the press, "In our view, the nuclear question is finished. We will not negotiate...." Even the International Atomic Energy Agency says their talks with Iran are at a "stalemate."
To drive the point home, Ahmadinejad nominated as his new Defense Minister a man who is on Interpol's most-wanted list. Ahmad Vahidi participated in the bombing of the Argentine-Israel Mutual Association in Buenos Aires in 1994. 85 people died. Of the 21 cabinet nominees seeking confirmation, Iran's parliament gave Vahidi the strongest vote of confidence.
But he won't be lonely in the cabinet. Four other Ahmadinejad appointees have been associated with the Republican Guard's terrorist activities. One of them helped establish Hezbollah in Lebanon prior to their bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks there in 1983. 241 died.
Naturally, the astute observers and quick thinkers in our government instantly picked up on the importance of these Iranian appointments. Our spokesman warned Iran that by appointing these radicals to such important positions, Iran was sending "precisely the wrong message." I don't think I have the heart to tell the brilliant people now running our nation that perhaps Iran was sending exactly the message it wanted to send, but we're just too dumb to recognize it.
It's possible Hugo Chavez may soon lose interest in being dictator-for-life in Venezuela. Especially if his starring role in Oliver Stone's new fawning documentary makes him an international movie star. Chavez was the hit of the Venice International Film Festival. America is really fortunate to have someone like Oliver Stone to make certain we hear the truth about what a quality guy and compassionate leader Chavez is. If not, we might have just assumed that he was an arrogant and scheming Socialist revolutionary like his buddies Daniel Ortega, Evo Morales, and Fidel you-know-who (that other benevolent grandfather-type in the Caribbean).
And to remind us that he's not just a pretty face, Chavez stopped by Ahmadinejad's house on his way to Italy to assure Mahmoud that he'll bust any new sanctions the West places on Iran. He'll ship him the refined gasoline he needs and even allow the Iranians to replicate their nuclear program in Venezuela.
Finally, I'll finish up my discussion of some of the pertinent questions regarding the order of events and timeline preceding the Rapture of the Church and the onset of the Great Tribulation. You don't want to miss my discussion... or the Rapture!

Hal Lindsey has been at this all of his adult life.Great to see him still hanging in there.
The Pennsylvania attorney who challenged the Democratic presidential candidate's "natural birth" has claimed victory in his federal suit because the defendants, Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee, have failed to answer the suit within the required 30 days, thereby losing by default.
On October 21, Berg announced that Obama and the DNC "admitted" to, by way of failure of timely response to "requests for admissions," the specific requests in the federal lawsuit. "Obama is not qualified to be president, and therefore he must immediately withdraw his candidacy for president, and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate," Berg told AFP.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.

February 3, 2000TO: State Directors of Vocational-Technical Education State Directors of Community, Technical and Junior Colleges State Tech-Prep Coordinators FROM: Patricia W. McNeil Assistant Secretary Office of Vocational and Adult Education SUBJECT: Vocational-Technical Education State Allotments - Fiscal Year 2000 Appropriations
Enclosed are the FY 2000 State allotments for the Vocational and Technical Education Basic Grants Program for the State eligible agencies. As in past years this is a forward-funded program, although this year's appropriation also includes advanced funding. A portion of the funds will become available for obligation on July 1, 2000 and remain available for 15 months through September 30, 2001. The advanced portion will become available on October 1, 2000 and remain available for 12 months, expiring at the same time as the forward-funded portion. The attached chart illustrates how each portion will be divided between dates (Table 1).
The allotment tables (Table 1 and Table 2) for FY 2000 reflects the 0.54% that was set aside to be used for incentive grants to States as designated in section 111(a)(1)(C) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Amendments Act of 1998. The percentage is taken from the total appropriation for State Grants.
Also included in the tables are the provisions under section 115(a)(1)(A) of Perkins III which designates specific funding for the Pacific Region Educational Laboratory (PREL) to assist the outlying areas of Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Pacific Region Educational Laboratory will also award grant funds competitively to the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau.
Total appropriated funds for Tech-Prep in FY 2000 have not changed (Table 3). Specific increases or decreases in state allocations are caused by shifts in population numbers and/or per capita income that are used in calculating the formula grants.
If you have any questions regarding the allotment tables attached, please feel free to contact your State liaison for assistance. You may also wish to go to our homepage for information. The URL is http://www.ed.gov/offices/OVAE/CTE/legis.html.

A diamond tile saw is essential for cutting natural stone tile and other hard tile. In this article a tiling pro explains how to make tough cuts like curves, corners and tiny slivers.
There's no substitute for a diamond tile saw when you have to make fine cuts—corners, curves, slivers—or cut stone or other hard tiles. In this article, we'll show you how a tile pro makes the tricky cuts that result in a first-class job. Tile-cutting diamond wet saws are available at rental stores, some large home centers and tile stores that cater to DIYers.
Set the saw up outside or in your garage or workshop. If a finished room is more convenient, cover the floor and wall behind the saw with plastic dropcloths. Then fill the tub with water.
Even though the tile saw looks scary, the blade is abrasive rather than toothed and therefore safer than wood-cutting saws. You'll still want to take precautions, as you would with any other saw.
Mark the tile with a lead or grease pencil. Set the tile against the fence on the sliding saw bed and line up the diamond blade with the cutting mark. Turn on the saw and wait for water to flow over the blade. Hold the tile on both sides of the cutting line and slowly feed it into the blade. As the cut nears completion, gently push the two halves of the tile together to prevent the tile from breaking before the cut is complete. When the cut is complete, carefully slide the bed and cut tile back toward you until the tile is clear of the blade.
Photo 1 shows the basic technique for making straight cuts. Wait for a stream of water to cover the blade before you start cutting. Watch the line as you cut and slightly adjust the position of the tile to keep the blade on the line. Move the tile slowly through the blade for the best-quality cut. If you hear the saw slow down, you're cutting too fast. Harder materials require slower feed rates. When you finish the cut, keep both hands on the tile and slide the table back and clear of the blade before you reach to switch off the saw.
Sight down the cutting mark and align it with the blade. Hold the tile in this position and guide it through the saw. Wear safety glasses.
Cut along both lines until the cuts intersect in the corner. Break out the waste piece.
Invert the tile on the sliding bed, then saw from the back of the tile to remove the remaining bit of tile and create a clean corner. You can cut a little past the corner on the backside.
Photo 2 shows how to make a freehand diagonal cut. Use this technique to cut any angle marked on tile. The key is to sight down the cutting line and align the blade with the line. If your tile is too large to fit between the fence and blade, lay the tile on top of the fence.
Shiny tiles can be hard to mark. If you're having trouble seeing your line as you cut, place a strip of masking tape on the tile and mark that instead.
Cut away excess material with two angle cuts. Then make a series of cuts to the curved line about every 1/2 in. For the cleanest breaks, try to cut at a right angle to the curve, as if you were cutting the spokes of a wheel.
Snap off the sawed sections with a tile nipper or by tapping each with the handle of a screwdriver or trowel.
Tilt up the front edge of the tile and clean up the cut by shaving away the excess. Remove no more than 1/16 in. at a time.
The completed curve, ready for installation.
You can even use your saw to cut inside curves (Photos 5 – 7). After breaking out the tile fingers (Photo 6), use the abrasive diamond blade to grind away excess tile and smooth the curve. Be careful, though; too much sideways pressure could damage the blade. Move the tile slowly across the blade, pressing lightly and nibbling off a fraction of an inch with each pass (Photo 7). Grip the tile firmly with both hands and tilt the edge closest to the blade up and off the bed to get a perpendicular cut.
Butt a scrap of tile against the edge of the tile you want to trim. Push both pieces through the blade, using the basic cutting technique (Photo 1). Repeat this process until you've trimmed enough. Each pass will remove 1/8 in. or less.
Removing a tiny sliver of tile is tough because the blade tends to wander off the edge of the tile. The solution is to trap the blade between the tile you want to trim and a scrap (Photo 8). You may have to make several passes to shave away enough material.
Hold the tile trim against a block of wood cut at a 45-degree angle. Guide the tile through the saw to cut the angle.
A mitered border cut on the tile saw.
Fancy borders or stripes, called "listellos" in tile lingo, are a popular decorative feature that often requires miter cuts to fit around corners. A diamond wet saw makes these cuts effortlessly with the technique shown in Photo 9.
Press both halves of the tile together until the cut is complete to prevent the tile from breaking and chipping at the end of the cut.
With a little practice, cutting tile on a wet saw is almost trouble free. But there are a few common problems that are easy to avoid or fix with the right techniques.
Some types of tile tend to break when the cut is almost complete. Photo 10 shows the solution. Straying from the line is another common problem, especially when you're cutting without a fence or guide. You can't force the blade back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile, slicing off a small amount of tile until the blade is back on track.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll need to rent or buy a wet-cutting diamond tile saw.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Former Gov. Dolph Briscoe Jr.
Regents honor former Gov. Dolph Briscoe Jr.
(Nov. 21, 2008)--The University of Texas System Board of Regents awarded Nov. 13 its highest distinction -- the Santa Rita Award -- to longtime landowner, rancher and former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe Jr., whose association with UT institutions spans nearly 70 years.

"The University of Texas System and its institutions have prominence on a world scale because people like Gov. Briscoe and his late wife, Janey == a former regent on this board -- contributed selflessly their time and resources for the benefit of higher education," Regents Chairman H. Scott Caven Jr. said. "I could not begin to capture all of the ways Governor and Janey Briscoe have enhanced excellence among UT institutions, but their unsurpassed dedication and service makes them shining models for everyone in the great state of Texas."
Briscoe, who served in the Texas Legislature from 1949 to 1957 and as governor from 1973 to 1979, received the 2004 Tom C. Frost Award, a recognition given annually by UTSA to an outstanding citizen who has provided exceptional leadership to important business and community endeavors.
The Briscoes -- both UT Austin graduates -- have made gift commitments of more than $26 million to UT System institutions, including $15 million to the Center for American History at UT Austin, enhancing it as one of the country's great repositories of historical collections; creating faculty and scholarship endowments at UT San Antonio; funding cardiovascular research and medicine at UT Health Science Center at San Antonio; and supporting other medical programs at UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
Additionally, Briscoe has served on numerous boards within the UT community, including UT Austin's Centennial Commission and the Commission of 125; UT San Antonio's development board and President's Associates; UT M.D. Anderson's University Cancer Foundation Board of Visitors; and the UT System Chancellor's Council. He was named a distinguished alumnus of UT Austin in 1986.
Dolph Briscoe was born April 23, 1923, in Uvalde, more than 90 years after his family first settled in what is now Fort Bend County. A lifelong resident of Uvalde, Briscoe graduated as valedictorian from Uvalde High School, then attended UT Austin, where he met his wife, the former Janey Slaughter. The pair married in 1942, a year before Dolph Briscoe earned his bachelor's degree in business administration. Janey Briscoe later earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education and a master's degree in education, both at UT Austin. She was named a distinguished alumna of UT Austin in 1996.
After graduating from the university, Briscoe enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Following his service, he returned to Uvalde and his family's cattle-ranching business. He served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1949 to 1957 and was elected governor in 1972. He served until 1979.
With a spread that covers 640,000 acres across 10 counties in South and West Texas, Briscoe is one of the state's largest landowners and last great cattle barons. He is the 21st recipient of the Santa Rita Award, which is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the UT System and who show a deep commitment to higher education and serve as an example of selfless, spirited service.

RSVP volunteer celebration held
Cass County's annual Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteer celebration was held Thursday, Sept. 19, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Backus. All RSVP members and station managers from 17 volunteer sites were invited to attend. Seventy people were in attendance for the noon round-up catered by Jr's No. 19 BBQ.
This year's event had a hoedown theme: "We tip our hat to y'all!" RSVP Director Tammy Jopp and Volunteer Services Coordinator Jane Furuseth shared that so far in 2013 Cass County volunteers have reported 9,990 hours of service to area communities. Each volunteer in attendance received a packet of envelopes and postage stamps as an appreciation gift.
Musical entertainment was provided by Tim and Jan Marr. The Marrs are from Longville and are frequently seen at area events. Their regular summer gig is the pre-show entertainment at the Wood Tick Musical Theater in Akeley. The Marrs had a fun, interactive show for the volunteer celebration.
The event concluded with door prizes. Seventeen winners took home mums, indoor houseplants or gift certificates donated by G&S Plants, Mike's Garden Center and County Garden Center.
Many thanks go to the Cass County Advisory Council for planning a fun event for the volunteers. Advisory council members include Faith Widman, Barb and Ernie Waldron, Virginia Tostenson, James Stauffer, Lavonne Solarz, Karen Nytes, Irene Holden, Sharon Gramm and Myrna Dunnuck.

Reviews of this property
Gerrit is very friendly and will take the time to describe the city. The room is very clean and has lots of guides and maps of Munich.
Big thanks for a great Oktoberfest experience!
Excellent accomodation (clean and tidy, within a reach to the city centre). Great host.
Gerrit is a spectacular host. Very helpful with directions/navigating the center city, place to eat, parking. Location is at the edge of the old town. Only comment about our stay is en suite would have been nice. Other than that, we had a great stay.
Perfectly located in the city center of Munich, Gerrit has a lovely guest room with private bathroom, ideal to spend a nice time in this lovely city! Gerrit was super kind and warm, see you next time Gerrit! Best wishes! Paulo
The apartment is located right in the center, an ideal starting point for exploring the city. Gerrit is really very nice, I would stay here again.
Die Wohnung liegt direkt im Zentrum, ein optimaler Startpunkt für eine Stadterkundung. Gerrit ist wirklich sehr nett, ich komme gerne wieder.
Can me the very positive reviews of other guests only connect. Accommodation as described. Room and bathroom very nicely furnished and clean. The location is a big hit. Munich-City right outside the front door, subway connection also, and yet through soundproof windows and location on the top floor (with lift) very quiet. Deeply relaxed host and very nice. That was certainly not the last visit. Gerrit, very great - keep it up.
Kann mich den sehr positiven Bewertungen der anderen Gäste nur anschließen. Unterkunft wie beschrieben. Zimmer und Bad sehr nett eingerichtet und sauber. Die Lage ist der Knaller. München-City direkt vor der Haustür, U-Bahn-Anschluß ebenfalls, und trotzdem durch schalldichte Fenster und Lage im Dachgeschoss (mit Lift) sehr leise. Gastgeber tiefenentspannt und sehr nett. Das war sicherlich nicht der letzte Besuch. Gerrit, ganz toll - weiter so.
Was a great stay with Gerrit. Class position, very close to the Sendlinger Tor. Accommodation offers everything you need. Highly Recommended!

Keith Thomson
History will no doubt record Andy Warhol as a major 20th century
artist. One of Warhol's "gifts" was to make everything
with which he was associated—his work, his friends, his
life—appear cheap and shallow. If he set out to irritate and
confuse, then he certainly succeeded. In the process he mocked us
and, above all, himself. Warhol will also be famous for his
pronouncement, now nothing less than a curse, that in the future
everyone will have the chance to be famous for 15 minutes.
All successful artists have to be showmen, it seems. Mozart and
Chopin were no shrinking violets. They would have adored television
unless, like those fabled old silent-screen movie stars, they had
been betrayed by squeaky voices or uncouth accents. Today, although
technical virtuosity is still a necessary condition for success as a
solo musician, charisma is almost equally important; hence all the
CD covers featuring female classical violinists in revealing
clothing, or little at all. All the more reason, then, to admire the
steadily nonglamorous types, such as the pianist Alfred Brendel, who
let their music talk for them.
Perhaps, in a modern-day version of Faustus, those 15
minutes of fame form a contract with the devil, granted through the
agency of the media, who are a fickle-enough ally in the best of
times. At a recent London film premiere, the Hollywood stars
wandered unnoticed into the theater while journalists gathered like
flies around two recent participants in a television program called
"Big Brother." Well, a plague on both their houses, we
might say. Except that the rot is spreading. Getting oneself noticed
by the press and especially by television, if only for 15 minutes,
has infected the one field where, in a perfect world, people would
be immune to cheap blandishments and hew strictly to a line of
puritan truth and detachment. Fat chance, of course, when we are
talking about science!
The "boffins" of World War II made science glamorous, as
did the late Christian Barnard, pioneer heart surgeon. German
naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt and English biologist
Thomas Henry Huxley had already perfected the art a century earlier,
however, and I have no doubt that Charles Darwin worked long and
diligently, if quietly, at his "Saint Charles" image. But
perhaps nowhere have scientists pursued an often too-transient fame
further than in paleontology, and particularly with respect to
dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are God's gift to television and the
newspapers, just as science fiction is the lifeblood of the
supermarket tabloids. Tyrannosaurs and little green men—sure
winners, both.

Enjoy Echo Journal
After leaving our post office box in Clarkfield empty as its patrons enjoy the seasonal employment of the lakes area at their summer residence in the Cinosam area, the Clarkfield postmaster has again evidenced his prowess at stuffing our post office box with its Thursday papers.
However, this morning was different. As I removed the papers where was the Echo? Turning to the nearby counter I began to sort the papers and here was the Echo Journal in its new format.
My next concern was were Claude and Ernie, my first read, included and there on 14A there they were.
We have enjoyed the Echo all year long for many years and look forward to the same as the Echo Journal arrives each Thursday at Box 62 and again when we return to Cinosam.

So Requim for a Dream - I hear the music all the time in figure skating comps and I read on hear it is good but really depressing so I think I should watch it but just never get around to it.

We went to Popcorn Park Zoo, which is a "sanctuary for abandoned, injured, ill, exploited, abused or elderly wildlife, exotic and farm animals, and birds."
The cost to get in was minimal and we bought two bags of popcorn to feed the animals. To our surprise there were many exotic animals such as tigers, bears, a two humped camel and more - each with their own unique and sad story. Sad stories such as the tigers that were someone's "pet" but they could jump a 6 foot fence while they were only cubs, they were bought by a rich woman from Texas so her other rich friends can pay to hunt them. They were saved and brought to Popcorn Park Zoo.

Trita Parsi:
Iran and Israel: Peace is possible
Iran and Israel: two nations with tense relations that seem existentially at odds. But for all their antagonistic rhetoric, there is a recent hidden history of collaboration, even friendship. In an informative talk, Trita Parsi shows how an unlikely strategic alliance in the past could mean peace in the future for these two feuding countries.

Meh. I don't really expect him to say "I really want to stay in NY, but Atlanta is my 2nd choice".
I want whatever he is smoking.
who cares what this jamoke thinks. obviously not many teams think too highly of him.
He's obviously saying that to get signed. And even if he did mean it, then ok.
Mood: WOOF!
What a shame...He was such a great GIANT for many years. Why would he say anything that could ruin his standing with the fans?

Qatar Airways is committed to improving the world for future generations.
We already command one of the youngest and most efficient fleets in the industry and we'll be one of the first airlines to operate the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner - the most efficient aircraft in the world.
But that's not all we're doing, below are a few more ways we're tackling climate change.
Our Fuel Optimisation department's primary focus is to identify ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. This includes:
Our dedicated Environmental Department explores how to reduce usage of water, paper, and other materials. Our next big advancement is to recycle waste onboard and in airports.
International aviation emissions and their impact on climate change are a global concern. As a partner of the Aviation Global Deal Group, we recognize the aviation sector's responsibility to assist global efforts to reduce emissions. Together, we are striving to develop a fair, practical, and effective solution to address aviation emissions in a new global climate change agreement.
We are preparing to comply with the European Union Emissions Trading System, which aims to cost-effectively reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions. The system will begin to include airlines at the start of 2012.
In June 2009, Qatar Airways was elected to the Environment Committee of the International Air Transport Association, the world's foremost airline trade association. As a member of IATA ENCOM, we are working with the entire airline industry to help reduce its impact on the environment.

VIDEO: The trailer for Rescue Dawn
In his 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs To Fly, Werner Herzog told the story of Dieter Dengler, a German-born man who became a US Air Force pilot during the Vietnam War. Shot down while flying a bombing mission over Laos, Dengler was captured and held in a jungle prison camp — from which, armed with arcane practical know-how and an indomitable survival instinct, he escaped. The documentary is striking not just because of the details of this ordeal but because of the personality of the protagonist, whom Herzog filmed in California. Admirable for his openness and for the precision and easy flow of his recollections, Dengler also remains, in his film, an enigma: part of himself is somewhere else, still inside the incommunicable area of his traumas.
Revisiting the tale with actors and scripted dialogue in his new Rescue Dawn, Herzog faces the immediate problem that it's impossible to out-Dieter the articulate and attractive Dengler. Probably cast on the strength of his emaciated appearance in Brad Anderson's The Machinist, Christian Bale makes Dengler a cheerful, guileless presence, no doubt the best possible fellow to have around if you're stuck in the jungle. But Bale's lack of ambiguity points to the biggest limitation of a film that makes the grade as an adventure yarn by ignoring the most disturbing implications of its story.
Dengler's obsession with flying resulted from an American bombing raid he endured as a child during World War II. In Rescue Dawn, Herzog alludes to this background but shows no appreciation of its historical irony. Yet the unmistakable logic of Dengler's story is the transformation of the victim into the aggressor. What the child fell in love with — at least consciously — may have been the beauty of the flying machines rather than the destruction they unleashed on his town. But in becoming the master of that beauty, he also becomes someone who uses the airplane for destruction, turning into the aggressor in a new war.
In Rescue Dawn, Dieter and his fellow prisoners (who include a cuddly-bear-like Steve Zahn and a skeletal and querulous Jeremy Davies) are unsure whether they're in Laos or in North Vietnam. For Herzog, the question is irrelevant (as are all political and ideological issues related to the war), because answering it changes nothing about the existential outlines of the experience. The heroes' mental map shows no national boundaries, only sources of water, potential dangers, mountains from which you might signal a search plane. Neither Herzog nor Dengler (as he's portrayed in Rescue Dawn) suspects that history confronts them as a problem or that it determines and drives them. For them, history is just a dream lying somewhere in the vicinity of the dream that immediately concerns them: the dream of reality.
Some of the film's most striking moments are the brief scenes of Dengler's hallucinations during the later stages of his experience. The force of these scenes comes less from any inspiration or poetry in their realization (which, like the whole film, is deliberately matter-of-fact, even bland) than from your realization that hallucination is, for Herzog, the logical and inevitable form of this narrative. In driving the film to this point, he pushes it closer to what it needs to be if it's going to be more than an exciting adventure of captivity and escape. Still, Rescue Dawn is largely that adventure. Despite the celebratory hokum that's tacked on to the end (making it seem that the director was suddenly replaced by John Milius), the film is not only less ambiguous but also less stirring than Little Dieter Needs To Fly, which said most of what Herzog has to say on the subject.

Comings and Goings is a blog written by Theology, Formation, and Evangelism Director Charles B. "Chip" Hardwick as he travels throughout the church. God is on the move out and about in the world, working to redeem all things in Jesus Christ. As we join this mission, by the power of the Spirit we see God on the move. This blog contains glimpses of how Chip finds this to be true in his comings and goings.
You can follow Chip on twitter (@chiphardwick) or find him on Facebook (Chip Hardwick).
Today is Holy Saturday, and I hope that as Jesus' Cross-bound journey moves toward an end (and this Lenten devotion does also), you will be drawn into a life of service beside him. I wrote this devotion, which follows Jesus' walk in the Gospel of Luke from Palm Sunday through Good Friday and onto Easter, for the magazine Presbyterians Today. Click here to read it.

I've to do a lot of computation on some groups of variables.--------------------------------------------------------
For simplicity, let's say I've to do rsum(a_first a_second) and, separetely,
rsum(b_first b_second)
I want to do it shorter using a loop:
- I generated a sort of index, let's say i, whose values is i="a" the first
turn, and i="b" at the second turn (and that's feasible)
- I would like to do something like:
egen i_tot=rsum(i_first i_second)
but I'm not able to explain to Stata that I'm interested in the value of i as a
part of the variable name.
Is it possible to do that?

The popular paleo (short for Paleolithic) diet requires practitioners to eschew dairy, grains, legumes, salt, and sugar and eat like modern cavemen. Naturally, where such restrictions exist, recipe guidance is needed. Last year, in response to the diet's increasing popularity, Tuttle published Make It Paleo: Over 200 Grain Free Recipes for Any Occasion by Bill Staley and Hayley Mason.
Inner Traditions published the paleo diet guide Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas in 2011; the book sold 35,000 copies in its first 12 months and continues to sell steadily. So in January the house will publish a companion cookbook, Primal Cuisine: Cooking for the Paleo Diet by Pauli Halstead. The recipes are free of grains, gluten, casein, and sugar.
For its part, in November, Da Capo will publish Paleo Desserts: 125 Delicious Everyday Favorites, Gluten- and Grain-Free by Jane Barthelemy. The book, a paperback original, includes such recipes as raspberry crumble bars and pumpkin cheesecake. "We were looking for a book that covered new ground in this hot trend," says Renee Sedliar, executive editor, Da Capo Lifelong Books.

Greetings! I'm new on the board but I've been reading posts for some time. I'm on the Southern Oregon Coast and have three hives--started them mainly because we seem to have lost all our wild bees over time and I wanted better pollenation for my apple orchard. Ended up with lots of honey! All three of my hives are double deep brood hives with a single Western super during the nectar flow. Mostly blackberry here--sort of wild country. My Question is this:
What happens if you re-queen with a new caged queen without removing the old queen from the hive? I just can't seem to find her in one of my hives but suspect she's there somewhere. I really want the vitality of a new young queen--seems to work real well here to re-queen every year. What are the risks of hanging a new one in that hive anyway?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Join 99rise for an empowering training and become a leader in the grassroots nonviolent struggle for democracy. The training will cover:
*How to share your own story to mobilize supporters and build community
*The basic dynamics of nonviolent conflict
*The strategy and principles of 99Rise
*Organizing 101
*Effective action planning
*Much more
Space is limited so RSVP!The corrupting influence of Big Money in politics has rendered our government utterly incapable of representing the American people, the 99%. Instead, it pursues the interests of billionaires and corporations, the very same 1% who finance politicians' campaigns and who unceasingly lobby them for their own private gain.
The results are everywhere: trillions of dollars in corporate tax havens while social programs are cut, imperialist wars and out of control military spending, a suicidal energy policy that denies climate change, half-measure healthcare reform, privatized education, a for-profit prison system… The 99% suffers for the 1%'s profits.
This perversion of democracy must stop now!
Join 99Rise in building a nationwide, grassroots movement of direct, nonviolent resistance to corporate power and democratic corruption.
Come to our to our two-day intensive training, where we will together develop the tools we need to build a movement that uses escalating direct nonviolent action to create fundamental political change.
Now is the time. Stand up. Come together. Fight back.

10 Red, White, and Blue Treats for Independence Day
Any holiday means special food, and since the Fourth of July isn't a "candy holiday," we need to make up for it with ice cream, fresh fruit, and other delightful dishes! Here are ten delicious ways to spark up recipes by giving them the colors of the American flag.
1. Layered Patriotic Punch
The secret to layering this potent punch is two different colors of Gatorade, keeping the lighter, sugar-free version on top. The heaviest layer of pina colada is on the bottom. Be sure to take a picture, because they will be consumed posthaste. The recipe is at Rolling Out.
2. Patriotic Pops
It looks like a homemade version of Bomb Pops! The red and blue are frozen drinks, and the white is a delicious combination of yogurt and whipped topping. Each is frozen in a small disposable cup. You'll find complete instructions at Spoonful.
3. 4th of July Strawberries
Strawberries are already red and ripe for July 4th, but it's easy to take them all the way into flag territory. These were dipped in melted white chocolate, then in colored sugar. See the instructions at The Sisters Cafe.
4. Bacon Flag Pizza
What food could be more American than bacon and pizza? Maybe potatoes, but this pizza has them, too, in the form of purple potatoes that cook to a nice blue. Add cheese for the white stripes, and you have a pizza with an American flag on it! See how it's done at Rock UR Party.
5. Flag Fruit Pizza
Oh, the title may say pizza, but this is made with cookie dough and fruit, so slice it up for a sweet treat! On top of the cookie, there's a "pizza sauce" made with cream cheese and whipped topping, then lovingly layered bananas, strawberries, and blueberries to make the flag. Made by Sabby in Suburbia, where you'll find complete instructions.
6. Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches
Cool off with an ice cream treat in style! You can use ice cream sandwiches from the grocery and roll the edges in red, white, and blue sprinkles, but they're even more impressive made from home-baked chocolate chip cookies. Slip a slab of ice cream between two cookies, add sprinkles, and these will be eaten before they melt. Get instructions at Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill.
7. Red, White, and Blue Pastries
Using Puff Pastry is a shortcut that saves a lot of time in making these patriotic pastries, which are stuffed with berry jam and topped with cream cheese filling and raspberries and blueberries. Yum! The top opening is a star shape, which leaves you star pastry to make into extra treats. See the whole process illustrated at Recipe Girl.
8. Firecracker Cakelettes
Why anyone would ever want to ingest Pop Rocks is beyond me, but they weren't a part of my childhood, so what do I know? For these edible firecrackers, you stack red, white, and blue cake rings on top of each other, glued with frosting. Then "load" them with Pop Rocks and add a licorice fuse. Great for a kid's party! Find the complete instructions at She Knows.
9. Red, White, and Blue Sangria
This fruit-filled wine cooler is made of white wine and berry-flavored vodka, with a few other ingredients for flavor and visual appeal. Add blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and pineapplee cut into star shapes for an impressive refreshment! Recipe Girl has the rest of the recipe.
10. The Trojan Cake
This is what happens when adjacent countries have their patriotic holidays so close together on the calendar. Just like the Trojan Horse, this gift of a Canada Day cake came with a surprise inside. Canadian recipient and redditor TruthGoliath posted the deception. Of course, it was all in fun, and you can make a cake like this with directions from Betty Crocker. The lovely frosting job is not included with the recipe.

Glen Marvin Leverington
Glen Marvin Leverington, 93, of rural Pine River, died peacefully March 26, 2013.
He was born June 26, 1919, in Moose Lake Township, Cass County, Minn., to Leslie and Josephine (Sandstrom) Leverington. The family moved to Bungo Township west of Pine River when he was 8 months old. He attended the rural Huffman School and graduated from Pine River High School in 1937.
To further his education, he took correspondence courses in business and electrical work from both Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis and The Franklin Institute in New York. Glen married "the love of his life," Rena Brush, Sept. 27, 1941, whom he had met at a school carnival in 1938.
Glen was involved in numerous community activities, including member of Maple Hill Lutheran Church where he served on various committees throughout his life, helped establish the Minnesota Cattlemen's Association along with several other local cattlemen, was a board member for Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Services (ASCS), served as chairman of Farmers Township Mutual Insurance Company Board of Directors, held a Pine River School Board seat for 16 years and served as chairman when the original portion of the present school was built.
Throughout Glen's working years, in addition to farming, he worked at several jobs, including cutting and loading pulp wood, hauling milk for the Pine River creamery, electrical wiring of several rural homes and farm buildings with the arrival of rural electricity in 1949, operating a cat-tractor on a mountain top wheat farm in Oregon, machine operator at Unipress in Minneapolis, and driving school bus for the Pine River Schools. He was also employed at the Montgomery Ward store in Brainerd for 20 years as manager of the Home Improvement Department.
In 1957, he and his wife started a Black Angus beef herd, and in the 1980s they built a new dairy barn for milking Holstein cows. He never really retired from farming and the farm is still in operation today by his youngest son.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Vivian, Lenora, Glorene, Vera and Erma; and one brother, Elwin (Bud).
He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Rena, and their three children, Gerald (Karen) Leverington of Wadena, Carolyn (Duane) Blanck of Nisswa and Greg (Dana) Leverington of Pine River; eight grandchildren, Karla (Rich) Guldseth, Dean (Debbie) Leverington, Janell (Steve) Madison, Daren (Michelle) Blanck, Danae (Jarrett) Anderson, Dawson (Lori) Blanck, Jenny Leverington and Kristy Leverington; 12 great-grandchildren, Krista and Jordan Guldseth, Grant and Calvin Madison, Ashley Ebel, Wyatt and Morgan Leverington, Elijah and Sophia Blanck, Jace Anderson, Landon and Kylin Blanck; sisters-in-law, Carol Staimbrook and Inez Leverington; and brother-in-law, Herb Hecht.
Glen was a farmer all his life and always enjoyed living in Bungo Township. He loved his family, friends and the Lord. Other favorites of his included riding his four-wheeler, checking on the cattle, operating tractors and machinery, cutting hay, driving a new car, square dancing and telling stories (or wind jamming as he would call it).
Funeral services were at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at First Lutheran Church in Pine River, with visitation one hour prior to the service. Graveside services followed at Maple Hill Lutheran Church at 5 p.m. Visitation on April 1 took place at Kline Funeral Home, Pine River, from 5-8 p.m. with a special time to share memories. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials to Maple Hill Lutheran Church or Heritage Group North (Pine River Depot). Arrangements were with Kline Funeral Home, Pine River.

Saving the World in Palo Alto
Original post made by Concerned Mom, Green Acres, on Jun 17, 2006
Something I would love to see us develop in Palo Alto is an independent system of bike paths. What I mean by that is a transportation network that completely separates bicyclists and pedestrians from car traffic, and actually allows people to get around all of Palo Alto.
We have the best weather in the world, and the fewest insects! But let's face it, our city is not very bicycle friendly. I am not an advocate of more bike lanes, because I don't think the bike lane system is working, especially for families with young kids. In order to get a critical mass, we need a much safer and comprehensive system that separates the bikes from the cars and actually gets people around the whole city. Until we do, bicycle riding will remain a minor form of transportation here. The car paths dominate our city; as long as that is the case, cars will remain the dominant form of transporation. I'm not talking about making our city harder for car traffic, I'm talking about making it at least as easy and safe for bikes and pedestrians, too.
Sure, I can already hear the griping about the logistics. We have the best minds and hearts in the world in this community -- and if the news about overfull elementary schools is true, lots of new families with young children who will benefit well into the future. If we want families to make biking a way of life for more than just occasional recreation or short trips to school, it has to be safer, and that requires a safer system. It's worth the benefits to our health, our community, our sense of who we are and what we stand for, and to our world. It's the prudent thing to do, and I'm sure will accrue benefits we cannot even yet imagine. No, it won't be easy, few things worth doing are. We would set such an example of what can be done. I think we could do it.

Bike paths would be great for people that bike, but not everyone is able to. A couple of nights ago I saw the movie Runaway Jury on TV and there was a scene of people riding on a streetcar. It was on St Charles in New Orleans. What a great way to get around! I suppose it would be totally impractical here - run it down the center two lanes of Embarc, turn right near the tracks, run near the tracks to Hamilton, turn right on Hamilton (which would be closed to cars), uh, somehow get it back to Embarc near Edgewood, ...

Just one day after the G8 Summit ended in the failure of Western leaders to overcome Russian resistance to a resolution mandating President Bashar Assad's ouster, Moscow announced Wednesday June 19, the dispatch to Syria of two warships carrying 600 Russian marines. They were coming, said the official statement, "to protect the Russian citizens there." Russian Deputy Air Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Gradusov added that an air force umbrella would be provided the Russian expeditionary force if needed.
Some 20,000 Russians live in Syria. In former stages of the conflict, they were given the locations of assembly points should Moscow decide to lift them out of the war-torn country. The evacuation of Russian citizens would in itself dramatically denote the expansion of the Syrian conflict.
The Russian Interfax news agency identified the warships heading for Syrian shores as the Nikolai Filchenkov Large Landing Ship and the Vice Admiral Kulakov, a Udaloy 1 class destroyer, each carrying 300 marines. Aboard the former are also 20 tanks and 15 armored troop carriers or military trucks, while the Kulakov is designed mainly for anti-submarine warfare
1. The harming of Russian soldiers would give Moscow an excuse to pile on more military reinforcements in Syria;
2. Russian air power is on its way to Syrian airspace before any decision is taken in the West about imposing a US-led no-fly zone over Syria;
3. The presence of Russian military personnel in Syria would pour more fuel on the already highly incendiary diplomatic and military tensions between Washington and Moscow over this conflict.
Putin clearly stated that the Middle East is going to witness a significant change. Syria will be armed with weapons that have never been seen before [in the Middle East] including computer guided smart missiles that never miss their target.
He also added that Russia will supply Syria with Skean 5 ground -to-sea missiles that are capable of hitting and sinking any target up to 250 km off the Syrian coast
He added that Russia will also supply Syria with state-of –the-art 24-Barrel rocket launchers which have a range of 6 km ranked as the most developed artillery weapon of its kind
He's going to push things as far as he can, imo.
Do. Not. Care. If the Russians want to frick around in Syria, I say RIGHT ON!
Do. Not. Care.
If the Russians want to frick around in Syria, I say RIGHT ON!
Assad is better than al Qaeda anyway.
hey could make things very rough for U.S. troops in Syria right now.

This is about oil and gas and the petrodollar.
