What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
The library is central to the mission of the MHS—to collect, preserve, and make available sources for the study of American history—by ensuring the long-term preservation of, and continued access to, our collection of over 12 million manuscript documents, 120,000 photographs, 3,000 artifacts, and thousands of printed items including rare books, newspapers, maps, and broadsides. The library is free and open to the public. Staff work directly with researchers who visit the library and maintain an extensive reference and reproduction service for researchers at a distance. Staff assist researchers navigating the wealth of resources on our website, including both digitized collections and the online catalog, as well as instruct them on the proper handling of materials anddeveloping research strategies. To support this work, the library conserves, organizes, catalogs, and digitizes collections for presentation on the MHS website.
Program long term success
The library will continue to collect, process, and catalog manuscript collections. The ultimate goal is to make all of our holdings accessible to a wide array of researchers worldwide. This will be achieved through continued processing and cataloging of collections, and undertaking additional digitization initiatives.
Program success monitored by
The library monitors its success by tracking library use statistics, monitoring web traffic, and conducting user surveys, both online and in-house. Library use statistics include tracking the number of total research visits, the number of individual visitors, the academic status of visitors, and their geographic demographics. We also record the number of remote reference interactions, the number of reference reproductions provided to researchers, and how often particular items are called for.
Program success examples
Library use statistics demonstrate we are achieving our goal of reaching a larger and wider audience, showing increases in total library use and a slight shift in dispersion of researchers in academic affiliation and demographic areas. This is reflected in increases in the number of high school students (3% to 4%), undergraduate students (11% to 14%), and non-affiliated researchers (37% to 41%), and in a slight increase in both non-Massachusetts resident and foreign resident researchers. In the past 10 years researchers from all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries have visited our library. The Society's web statistics also show continued growth across the board. Between FY2011 and FY2012, pageviews increased by 15%, visits increased by 14%, and unique visitors increased by 11%. While 92% of FY2012 site visits came from the United States (of which 1/4 were in MA), the remaining 8% were from 193 countries around the world.

Program 2
The Research Department is the MHS's principal point of contact with professional scholars. In a typical year it organizes 60 programs, including an academic conference, 5 research seminars series (28 sessions), approximately 30 lunch gatherings to discuss work in progress, and a reception for Boston-area graduate students in history and related fields. The department administers 4 fellowship competitions primarily for college and university faculty and graduate students; in 2011-12 it received 226 applications and made 37 grants (some in collaboration with other historical agencies). It also edits the Society's journal, the Massachusetts Historical Review; edits collections of essays originally presented at MHS conferences; prepares entries for the series Sibley's Harvard Graduates, a biographical dictionary of students who attended the school, now through the class of 1774; and oversees special research projects, including a history in progress of investment management in Boston.
Program long term success
The Research Department promotes scholarly research and writing at the highest academic level on historical subjects within the Society's primary areas of concern. These subjects include the history of Boston, Massachusetts, New England, and U.S. history as it relates to these geographic areas. The department also promotes historically oriented studies focused on Boston, Massachusetts, and New England in American literature, art history, and the social sciences. If through the scholarship it supports it stimulates a lively and productive interest in its primary areas of concern among researchers and seriously invested members of the general public, then the department believes it has been successful.
Program success monitored by
The Society's 10-member Research Committee oversees all of the Research Department's activities. Applications for grant support from agencies such as the National Endowment for the Humanities and submissions of essay collections to university presses receive rigorous peer review. Post-fellowship reports by all recipients of MHS research grants assess their satisfaction with their experiences at the Society. Continuing high attendance at MHS events indicates audience satisfaction with these programs.
Program success examples
In 2011-12 total attendance at seminars grew from 534 the previous year to 767. Over the same period attendance at lunch-time programs grew from 458 to 544. There was no conference in 2011-12, but a conference in the spring of 2011 attracted more than 60 attendees. Fellowship applications in each of the past three years have exceeded 200; in 2011-12, the success rate of applicants was 16.4%. After peer review, university presses and other publishers regular accept MHS essay collections.

Program 3
The Adams Papers
The Adams Papers editorial project is sponsored by and located at the MHS, the repository that contains the massive Adams Family Papers manuscript collection. The Adams Papers is a comprehensive edition of the most important materials drawn from this collection and from Adams documents in other repositories, both in the U. S. and abroad. The project produces edited and annotated documents, in both print and digital formats, concentrating on John and Abigail and their family. The project runs two publication programs, the Papers of John Adams, which chronicles John Adams' career as a statesman and diplomat, and the Adams Family Correspondence, which includes John and Abigail Adams' correspondence with their family and friends. In addition to these ongoing series, the Adams Papers produces unique publications, such as the Diaries of Louisa Catherine Adams, due out this winter, and free digital tools such as the Online Adams Catalog.
Program long term success
The completed Adams Papers will present a more comprehensive history of public life in the United States from the 1750s through the 1880s than any other documentary edition. The papers cover the events that precipitated the American Revolution and the diplomatic negotiation of peace; John Adams' drafting of the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, the oldest written constitution in use in the world today; the formation of the new government in 1789; the international and internal crises at the end of the eighteenth century; the founding of a permanent navy; the Louisiana Purchase and policy of neutrality by embargo; the War of 1812; the establishment of U.S. policy in this hemisphere under the terms of the Monroe Doctrine; the expansion of the nation to continental proportions, with the growing moral and political issues surrounding slavery; the Civil War, both in its military and diplomatic phases; and the problems of reconstruction and party struggles that followed the war.
Program success monitored by
The Adams Papers expects to publish over 100 volumes of material before it finishes its task. It is not possible to set a definite date of completion for such an achievement. The project, however, in recent years has focused its priorities on the publication of founding era materials through 1826, the death of John Adams. This work will be an important contribution to the organization, preservation, and study of the documentary history of America's founding generation.
Program success examples
The most recent volume published in 2012 was the 48th in the edition since the first was issued in 1961. Completion of the Papers of John Adams and Adams Family Correspondence to 1826 will necessitate approximately 29 more volumes. Given the efficiencies developed in recent years, we believe the current rate of publication can be maintained while significantly increasing the number of documents in each volume. The result is that the projected completion date for this part of the edition has been shortened from 2041. Full funding and continuity of staff are essential to this production schedule.

Education and Public Programs
The Education and Public Program department develops engaging activities and resources for two of the Society's three key constituencies - educators and intellectually curious adults. Through interactive primary source-based workshops for teachers; digitized documents, contextual material, and curricula available free of charge at the MHS website; and fellowships that bring educators to the MHS to develop lessons based on primary sources, the MHS has had tremendous success providing resources for the educational experience. Starting in FY2013, the MHS will use its unique resources and expertise to contribute to the improvement of the teaching of American history by serving as the official state sponsor of National History Day in Massachusetts. The MHS also strives to provide the community with an array of broad-based, widely appealing, intellectually strong programming to enhance the understanding of our nation's past and its connection to the present.
Program long term success
Two key components of the website - The Coming of the American Revolution and The Case for Ending Slavery - are made available as online courses and apps. Teachers from across the country are using the digitized documents and supplementary resource materials as an integral part of their classroom teaching. Outreach is expanded to include regional workshops for educators aligning this content-rich material with the new Common Core initiative being adopted by almost every state. The growing group of teacher fellows and workshop alumni join with MHS staff to facilitate workshops in their home districts, as well as to pilot and evaluate the new curriculum units. Meanwhile, new document- based courses and apps are being developed with other rich clusters of MHS collections related to later periods of American and World History.
Program success monitored by
The success of the Society's education program is measured in two crucial ways—through statistics and evaluations. Participation in education programs is tracked each year. The more teachers that the Society reaches, the better. These educators bring their newfound lessons back to their classrooms, positively impacting the teaching of American history to an exponential amount of students—many more than the MHS could accommodate in its Boston headquarters. In addition, a number of workshops, particularly the NEH-sponsored Landmarks of American History and Culture, end with an evaluation of the program by the participants. This feedback is reviewed by MHS staff to improve upon workshops as well as to report to the granting organization. Select teacher fellowships also require a final report and evaluation of the program. The number of public programs offered each year and audience attendance statistics also are tracked each fiscal year.
Program success examples
In FY2012, approximately 1,119 individuals took part in 25 free public programs, including lectures, conversations, and author talks. This compares to 1,476 attendees at 33 programs in FY2011, and 1,239 attendees to 23 programs in FY2010. In FY2012, 614 teachers from across the country participated in MHS educational programs. This compares to 638 in FY2011 and 361 in FY2010. In the summer of 2010, the MHS hosted the NEH Landmarks workshop for the first time. Over 600 educators from 48 states applied to participate, a record for this program. Based on that fact and the positive evaluations from the initial group of participants, the MHS is offering the workshop again in the summer of 2012, making adjustments in direct response to the recommendations made by our pioneer group. The ongoing participation of past teacher fellows and workshop participants is also a great indicator that programs have been engaging and successful.

Program 5
Public Programs
For over 200 years the MHS has been publishing in American history. These items have served two purposes, both based on founder Jeremy Belknap's vision of the MHS mission: preservation of the historical documents in the Society's collections and communication of historical knowledge to the citizens of the nation. Today, alongside standard promotional pieces such as printed calendars and a biannual newsletter, the Publications Department publishes an annual journal, the Massachusetts Historical Review; publishes soft- and hardcover books, currently about one each year, generally based on MHS collections, including the longstanding series Collections of the MHS; and prepares digital content for the Society's website, such as the Adams Papers Digital Edition. Staff in the Research and Adams Papers departments work on books that are released through other publishers.

Funding Needs
1) We need to broaden and diversify our base of financial support. The Society's endowment provides nearly 60% of its operating revenue. Its donor base is largely limited to its membership. The MHS must reach out to new groups and build a more robust fundraising program. 2) We need to increase our visibility. The MHS is considered a hidden gem. We need to reach out, particularly to those in our own backyard, and let them know how we contribute to the community—that we are a resource. We hope this will lead to larger audiences. 3) We need to make more of our collections available online. Although our most important collections are available for free at our website, and we constantly add to them, it amounts to only a fraction of our holdings. Accessibility is a core part of our mission. We must continue to pursue funding to fulfill it. 4) We need to address our space limitations. The MHS is a vibrant organization that faces serious space constraints at its Boston headquarters. A long-term facilities plan making the best use of our building is imperative. 5) We need to help our Board of Trustees evolve to address the needs above. The Society's Board is in a time of transition and must adapt to focus on fundraising and leadership-building in addition to fiduciary responsibilities.

Cleveland Clinic Study Shows Coronary Bypass Surgery
is More Beneficial Than Angioplasty in High-Risk Patients
April 29, 2004
In a study performed at the Cleveland Clinic, researchers found better survival rates in high-risk patients who underwent bypass surgery than in patients who underwent angioplasty. High risk factors included coronary artery disease in multiple vessels coupled with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart failure.
High-risk patients who underwent angioplasty or stenting (also known as percutaneous coronary interventions, or PCI), the study showed, had mortality rates nearly two times greater than did patients who had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The medical records of more than 5,100 CABG patients and more than 870 PCI patients were reviewed. All patients were treated at The Cleveland Clinic between 1995 and 1999.
"Bypass surgery tended to have a greater benefit in the sickest patients," said Sorin J. Brener, M.D., first author of the Circulation study, and a staff cardiologist at The Cleveland Clinic. "Surprising results can be the most beneficial because they allow us to offer the best treatment options to patients, especially when they are contrary to conventional wisdom."

About Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), or bypass surgery, is a safe and effective way of surgically treating the symptoms of coronary artery disease. It is a procedure that reroutes the blood around a blockage in the coronary artery, creating an alternative pathway for blood to deliver important nutrients and oxygen to the heart muscle.
Grafts are created by using portions of another artery or vein from the patient's body. The most commonly used vessels are the internal mammary arteries, which are inside the chest wall, or the greater saphenous veins, which are in the leg. These vessels are "spares." Blood flow is usually not affected by removing them. Less often, the radial artery in the arm may be used for a graft. Grafts usually last for 10 to 12 years.
About Angioplasty and Stenting
The term used to describe a procedure that opens a blocked or narrowed artery. During an angioplasty, a small wire, under x-ray guidance, is passed through a narrowed artery. A small sausage-shaped balloon is then advance over the guide wire into the narrowed section of artery, again using x-ray guidance. The balloon is then inflated to dilate the narrowed section of the artery. Once the artery is dilated, a small amount of dye is injected (angiogram) to confirm the successful dilatation.
A stent is a device used to treat narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Performed in the cardiac catherization laboratory, the stent is place by the cardiologist using x-ray guidance. The stent procedure is done with local anesthesia and mild sedation. Coronary stenting is NOT heart surgery. Stenting of the coronary artery is performed for significant narrowing of the artery that causes an impediment of blood flow down the artery. Stenting of the coronary artery is very safe, but there is a small risk to the procedure. Should stenting fail, the cardiologist may refer the patient for coronary artery bypass surgery.

Anyone who bought into SVG Capital's £173m rights issue and share placing at the start of 2009 has seen the 100p they paid then quadrupled to more than 400p today.
Not bad for a company that has regularly been under fire from its biggest shareholder, Coller Capital, which wanted it to sell off its investments and return all the cash to shareholders.
In fact, under the stewardship of its chief executive Lynn Fordham, SVG has already returned more than £200m to shareholders through share buybacks since December 2011, and is on course to deliver another £270m within the next three years.
SVG stopped paying dividends in 2008 and concentrated on capital growth. That has proved to be a sound policy.
It has also coincided with a period in which Permira (where pretty much all SVG's money was invested five years ago) has seen some of its best private equity performance and, in particular, some spectacular realisations.
Those included the Far Eastern gaming group Galaxy Entertainment, the fashion group Valentino and TDC, the Danish communications group.
More recently, Permira – and by extension SVG – has benefited richly from the flotations of Hugo Boss, the snappy suits firm, and ProSiebenSat, the German media group.
SVG has even managed to rediscover value in New Look, the fashion retailer, which it wrote down to nil two years ago but reassessed as worth £10m today.
All this helped SVG's net asset value jump 23 per cent to 480p a share in the last six months. That in a period when the FTSE 350's total return was just 8 per cent and the MSCI World Index's only 5 per cent.
But Ms Fordham has done far more than just reap the rewards of Permira's management buy-out experts' skills.
She sold 50.1 per cent of the in-house private equity manager SVG Advisers to Martin Gilbert's Aberdeen Asset Management in one of those rare deals that makes sense for both sides. Latterly, she has agreed the sale of the small equity fund manager SVG Investment Managers in a deal that should realise just over £18m of cash.
Now Ms Fordham, with the backing of pretty much all SVG's shareholders other than Coller's 20 per cent, is realising a strategy for the firm that does not match what its largest shareholder wanted.
To be more specific, she is investing new money into new private equity funds, and she is moving her eggs out of the one Permira basket to bring in rival Cinven. That achieves more of a balance, with the Permira fund looking at midsize to large global buyouts while Cinven specialises more in the European buyout market.
At the moment, most of the action in private equity is in the United States but there are signs that in Northern Europe (away from those countries still being battered by the eurozone crisis) activity may be about to pick up.
Coller has attacked Ms Fordham at the company's last two annual meetings. Don't feel sorry for her – she can give every bit as good as she gets. SVG shares have pretty much been treading water for the past six months and, rather than priming its guns for next year's annual meeting, perhaps now would be a sensible time for Coller to get out. Others might appreciate the strategy and current valuation of the shares more.
Time banks trimmed back more branches
Banks across the European Union closed 5,500 branches last year, according to data from the European Central Bank. That's down from the 7,200 that were axed in 2011, and takes the total closed since the start of the financial crisis in 2008 to more than 20,000.
But with almost 219,000 bank branches open across the Continent, Europe is still horribly overbanked. There is one branch for every 2,300 citizens of the EU.
In the UK, we have 11,870 bank branches, which is one for every 5,100 of us. That is rather more efficient, not surprisingly, than Cyprus, which at the end of 2012 had a branch for every 1,256 of the island's residents.
The UK's total number of branches is not even a third of that of either France or Spain. But the fact is that this country is still overbanked. Conventional wisdom is that a successful UK bank – be it an incumbent or a challenger – would ideally have somewhere between 700 and 800 branches.
Interestingly, that's not much more than the rediscovered TSB, whose 631 branches are about to hit our streets and will be floated off, under European Union state aid orders, by Lloyds Banking Group sometime next year.
Even taking into account the 1000-odd branches they have to sell or spin off, Lloyds will still have 2,260 branches and Royal Bank of Scotland (NatWest) 1,750. Barclays has more than 1,700, HSBC around 1,500 and Santander almost 1,200.
In the age of rapidly growing internet banking, it cannot make sense for our big banks to own so much bricks and mortar.
It's hard to buy into Cath Kidston success
I know that I should be blowing the trumpet for a British business that has been as successful as Cath Kidston.
Its latest figures showed sales rose 19 per cent in the year to March to top £100m for the first time. It has no bank borrowings and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (the private equity-preferred version of profits) rose 13 per cent to £21m.
A laudable performance, and I should be waiting with bated breath for the opening of its new flagship store in London's Piccadilly later this year.
But I can't actually bring myself to praise all this. The stuff is ubiquitous, relentlessly twee and just too downright bloody cheerful.

Dear Reader of this Letter,
Hallo, I am Ludwig Beilschmidt, the personification of the country of Germany. I, er, I didn't really want to start a letter writing website like all the other countries are doing but mein bruder East wouldn't stop bothering me until I did it. So, here it is, even if I believe it to be a waste of time. Feel free to write to me and I will try to reply the best I can.
Ludwig Beilschmidt
((ALRIGHTY THEN! I am on this bandwagon after a request from Yuri n'Chuka. I hope this makes her happy. She apparently believes I made a good Germany in dogsrule's 'Vee I Get to Write Letters Too?' and it would be nice if I made an official letter writing story under his name. I suppose I'm okay with that. If someone else has done this for Germany I apologize for encrouching on your turf and all, but I think everyone deserves a chance to be different countries. If you have someone playing Italy for you, someone else can get a chance with me. It'll be nice you know?
I have no problems with any pairings with Germany, GermanyXItaly will be fine if it's made to happen (I find them difficult to set into motion though, it took 80 letters with dogsrule before ANY chance at Geretalia showed up), but I'm also cool with Austria X Germany or even a little Prussia X Germany. I'm flexible. Just keep it all rated T unless a really good France gets involved. Or a really dirty Prussia. Then rating might change.
My one rule is this: If you post as a country and do not send in another letter within a week of my reply without explanation (like, saying you'll be on holiday, or busy or something) you forfeit your rights to be that country. If you pick it back up before anyone else does however you can have the role back no problem, this is mostly just to avoid losing characters.
And I will say this: OCs are fine, but I always consider canon characters preferrable.))
The Following Warning For This Story Concerns New Readers Only Since Old Readers Know This Already
Heavily implied one way and possibly two way Germancest
A story arc involving Nazi Germany which contains racist remarks and vulgar language
IF THESE DISTRESS YOU, DO NOT READ FURTHER! (Even though I personally don't view them as that bad, I could be warped for all I know, so I'm just letting you know)

BeschreibungFrom the New York Times bestselling author comes the definitive, illustrated history of one of the greatest battles ever fought-a riveting nonfiction chronicle published to commemorate the two-hundreth anniversary of Napoleon's last stand. On June 18, 1815, the armies of France, Britain, and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which the town gave its name would become a landmark in European history.

Harry Potter FanFiction: Year One
This is a Harry Potter FanFiction with the idea "What if Voldemort had chosen Neville Longbottom?"
This will cover the first year of Harry's Hogwarts experience. It will still be mostly from Harry's point of view, but he'll have a bit more normal life.
"My Lord!" Severus Snape called as he ran into the room.
"What is it, Snape?" Lord Voldemort asked tiredly. "I"m a very busy man and I don't have tons of time for this."
"This is important, My Lord, you won't regret listening."
Voldemort looked up and saw the excited expression on Snape's normally blank face and said, "Fine, tell me what you came here to say."
"I was at the Hog's Head when I saw Dumbledore going upstairs. I followed and soon found that he was doing an Divination teacher interview. Nothing much happened for a while, so I was standing up to leave, when suddenly, the mood changed.
"A deeper voice I didn't recognize said, 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...'"
"The power to vanquish the Dark Lord? Just a baby? It cannot be!" Voldemort stood and paced back and forth. Then he turned on Snape. "What else did you hear?"
"I'm sorry, My Lord, but I was anxious to tell you what I'd heard, so I came as soon as I'd heard that much."
"You didn't wait to hear the rest of the prophecy?!"
"Prophecy? You're saying it's true?" Snape asked, stunned.
"Of course it's true," Voldemort scoffed. "Now I want you to tell me who the prophecy could be about."
Snape thought a moment and then said, " It could be about two boys, My Lord, Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom."
"The Potters and Longbottoms. The Longbottoms or the Potters. Who could it be?"

Jack White To Throw The First Pitch Tomorrow In Detroit
Tomorrow Jack White will be stepping on the hill and tossing out the first pitch at the Tigers game at Comerica Park. At least I hope he's going off the mound! Don't do it from the grass Jack, step up there and show them the heater!
Getty Images
Not only will Jack be tossing the first pitch out, he's also bringing the Third Man Records truck with him to Detroit to have a pop-up store outside of the ballpark. (I don't think Jack will be the one driving the truck though, someone else is doing that.) Also if you go to the Nashville home of Third Man Records and wear Tigers gear you'll get 15% off whatever you buy. Bonus!
Why don't we check out some other musicians and the times they threw out the first pitch at a baseball game?
Eddie Vedder tossed from the hill at Wrigley!
Cee Lo Green did it for the Dodgers!
So did Pete Wentz!
Alice Cooper bringing the pain in Kansas City (and the catcher blew it)!
Geddy Lee is a baseball fanatic and he tossed the breaking ball in Toronto!
Snoop Dogg did the White Sox proud when he did his first pitch!
And then we have the 50 Cent incident when he was at Citi Field with the Mets...
I actually think the Mets tried to sign 50 after that, saying they've had worse! Jack White, you need to lay it in there tomorrow. No pressure but Detroit is the hometown crowd! Again though, no pressure.
Wait, before you go, we have a first pitch bonus Detroit edition! How can you not watch Robocop toss out the first pitch!

Part Forty-FiveMature
In the evening, Seb and Nannie argue. He leaves most of his dinner on the plate, and Nannie has finally had enough.
"Sebastian," she tells him, annoyed. "You are going to eat the entirety of that meal, and you will not move until you do."
He scowls and ignores her completely, getting up to take the plate into the kitchen. It smashes, somehow, and I hope that it was an accident.
Suddenly fuming, he storms through the living room.
"Where do you think you're going?" Nannie demands.
"To strap a chainsaw to my wrist," he spits.
"Seb!" I exclaim, shocked he'd say something like that, knowing how I feel about it.
His expression softens slightly. "I'm sorry, that was insensitive," he says. Then he glares at Nannie. "Leave me alone."
I wait for five minutes before following him upstairs, and knock on his bedroom door lightly.
He opens it immediately, visibly upset, and lets me in. Then he just stares at the floor.
"Seb... what's wrong?"
He shakes his head. A sign, not that it's 'nothing', but that he doesn't want to tell me.
I go over to where he's sitting and kneel in front of him. "I thought you were happy."
"I'm... he hesitates and looks up at me, then sighs. "I'm never happy, Lola."
"At least tell me what's wrong," I say. "And truthfully."
He shakes his head again. "I will end up lying to you, and I don't want to do that."
"Seb, please."
"If I tell you," he says eventually. "If I tell you... the one thing I ask is that you pretend you don't know."
Although it's very much against my better judgement, I agree because there's little I can do if I don't even know.
Seb sighs again and gets up, striding to the other side of his room. He sits on his bed, facing me.
"I... can't do this. I can't live like this," he casts his eyes away from me. "I've been trying to live for you, but... it's no just something that goes away. And... it's difficult for me to cope... I'm sorry."
It's obvious to me that he has deliberately avoided mentioning the knowledge looming over us both, but it doesn't stop me from trying to talk him out of it.
"Seb, you-"
"I'm not doing it now. Not for a while..." he meets my gaze with a pained expression. "There'll be something which triggers it. Probably something small."
Slowly, I come to some sort of understanding about this, and form a question. "Will I know?"
"I'm hoping with everything I have that you won't," he says, and hangs his head. "But I have no control over that."
He sighs again, shakily, wiping his eyes, and I am fighting back tears.

On Monday, North Zone had almost booked their ticket to Hyderabad for the Duleep Trophy semifinal against Central Zone after taking the first-innings lead.
And on Tuesday, they sealed it by setting an improbable victory target of 528 for the West Zone to achieve in the few remaining overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Though Kamlesh Makvana did his bit to stop the flow of runs, taking his second five-wicket haul in the match, the off-spinner could not stop North from scoring at a fast clip and declaring the innings at 208 for seven.
With a mammoth target of 528, West played out the remaining overs to close at 69 for two.
When Makvana dismissed Rahul Dewan (45) for the first breakthrough on the final day, there was hardly any jubilation in the West Zone camp.
With national selectors Sandeep Patil and Vikram Rathour keeping a close watch on the proceedings, Shikhar Dhawan (50) had every reason to score big, like in the first innings when he scored slammed a ton. But soon after reaching his half-century, he was stumped, stepping out to Makvana.
Sunny Singh (28) too was stumped after a Harmeet Singh delivery kept embarrassingly low.

Deceased 15-year-old GirlMature
The following is a torn page from the diary of one, Kim Blackwood.
Oh god, Katie... What the hell happened.
It was an awesome day today, too. During that Freshman Orientation meeting Katie skipped, Weston dropped me a note. He wanted to go out to Sammy's on Thursday. I was so excited... But now -- Katie...
It was 6:30. Katie walked out of the East side of the park. East. At 6:30? Katie always got back from Cross-Country at exactly 5:55, running back at a brisk pace so that I could time her run home from when her practice got out at 5:45. And East? I didn't know there was a trail on the East side.
But she just walked inside, didn't mention anything about her time, and sat down for dinner.
We started eating, Katie sitting across from me for some reason rather than her normal spot to my right. Dad and Mom didn't seem to care. So just to test it, I did the sign: medium sigh followed by two clicks. "What's wrong?"
Nothing. Not even a head turn.
I did it twice more, louder each time until Mom told me to stop.
After dinner, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I threw up in the bathroom while my iPod covered the noise with stupid pop bands.
Katie, we were doing that sign for thirteen years. I read those books about identical twins being supernaturally connected and all that... Never believed a word. But now, that connection? It's like I'm holding a phone talking to no one - the other line is just dangling by the wire.
And now I lay here, right under her on the bunkbed. I don't know much about anything...
But that thing above me is not my sister.
Update: Sneaked out. There is no trail on the East side of the park. Not even a makeshift one. Where she came out of the treeline, the forest goes on for five feet and then drops 30 feet straight down into a creek. What the everloving fuck.
Kim Blackwood was found deceased two weeks later, this piece of paper grasped in her hand. Unnatural causes and signs of physical assault were present on the body - thorns stuck deep into her skin.

In their new book on parenting, Nicky and Sila Lee admit to not always getting it right with their children. But they also say that with God's help we can build strong relationships with our kids. By SHARON BARNARD
It's a brave parent who asks their offspring to recount the times and ways they've got it wrong. It's even braver to commit some of those failings to print as Nicky and Sila Lee have done. But in being so open, many parents reading their book will be hugely reassured.
"I don't think there's a parent who doesn't have regrets," says Nicky, "but it's never too late to invest in your relationship with your children.
"Sometimes we have to say sorry.
"Our guilt or regret should not hold us back. There's always room for change and growth. We want to give hope to parents."
Nicky and Sila Lee, the parents of a daughter and three sons, are on the staff of Holy Trinity Brompton in London, the home of the Alpha course. They are also best-selling authors of The Marriage Book and have pioneered courses on marriage, parenting and family life.
Now in The Parenting Book they offer insights from their own experience "and valuable practical tips we have learnt from others".
They say one of the essential building blocks for a healthy family relationship is having fun.
"We write a lot about family time and having fun – having meals together and playing games, " says Nicky. "As church leaders we have to go on stressing the importance of that time for families – and giving parents permission to say no sometimes to the demands of the church."
Sila adds: "Invest in spending time with other Christian families and have fun with them too. Being around others who share the same values is vital, so you don't feel out on a limb."
In the book the Lees look at how families work, how to meet children's needs, set boundaries and help them make good choices. They also suggest ways parents can pass on their Christian beliefs and values.
"Children don't want to feel forced or pushed into something," says Nicky. "Many children will explore in their own way, but what they have seen modelled – our core values and the way they've been lived out – affects the choices they make. And keep praying for them!"
Prayer, along with providing a loving home environment and reading Bible stories together, are all vital in helping to pass on our faith, they believe.
With the benefit of experience, Sila says she would now try to "worry less and pray more".
"Worrying made me more controlling – but this didn't help the children. Turn that worry into prayer and allow [them] to be free to learn from their failures.
"Our children are a gift from God and he has a plan and purpose for them."
The wider Christian community also has a part to play in nurturing and encouraging parents and children and acting as a role model, they say.
The Lees tried to make going to church "a normal and enjoyable activity" for their children as they were growing up. They suggest, where possible, finding churches where children can be with their peers and have activities suited to their age group.
"Children's and teenage groups are essential and foundational ways to support families," says Sila. "They also act as a bridge to people outside the church.
"And we have groups in our church that support mothers with little children. Mums can become very isolated.
"Then there are the parenting courses. Often it can be a struggle for parents to come along but they are short courses – across five weeks – where they can meet others."
"Parents need encouragement," adds Nicky.

From Our Editors
The spindly branches of mangrove trees dip into Sarasota waters, often creating channels just wide enough to admit one kayak. But despite the narrow nature of these waterways, the guides of I Kayak Sarasota—all Sarasota natives—navigate them with ease. They do this while leading kayakers on tours that uncover different aspects of the bay's natural splendor without revealing its real secret—that it's actually a giant's bathtub. One tour showcases the mangrove tunnels where tourists might see manatees and dolphins, and the other grants guests views of the sunset from the middle of the bay. In addition, I Kayak Sarasota offers standup-paddleboard lessons, which incorporate balance and core fitness into wave-top adventures.

Elephants in the Room
My take on the poetry tournament round 1 and 2 challenges
through the sludge ahead,
We drag our heavy weight, and wade--
Judging by the trench we've made,
Weakened, by the mud we tread.
every day, and smothered,
Falling, dying pachyderms.
Dead. Weight. Full of worms.
Straining still,

Influential Ghosts: A Study of Auden's Sources
€ 147,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
November 2006
Beschreibung"Influential Ghosts: A Study of Auden's Sources" explores some of the most important literary and philosophical influences on W.H. Auden's poetry. The study attempts to show that Auden's poetry derives much of its interest from the vast range of authors on whom he drew for inspiration. But it also suggest that his relationship to these writers was marked by a fascinating ambivalence.In chapters on Auden's relationship to Hardy and Kierkegaard, the study shows how, after lovingly apprenticing himself to their work and often borrowing stylistic or thematic features from it DL Hardy's sweeping "hawk's vision," Kierkegaard's urgent "leap of faith" DL he began to criticize the very things he had previously striven to emulate. In a chapter on Auden's elegies, the author argues that, alone among examples of this poetic genre, they both reverently mourn and harshly scrutinize their subjects (Yeats, Freud, Henry James and others). In a chapter on "structural allusion" in Auden's early poetry, the study posits that Auden singlehandedly invented a new kind of allusion in which he alludes to the form and subject matter of entire poems. But while doing so, he also finds fault with the attitudes (passivity, despair) depicted in them. In these structurally allusive poems DL as with his relationship to Hardy, Kierkegaard and his elegies' subjects DL Auden's sometimes accepting, sometimes skeptical attitude toward his poetic models is on powerful display, and finds a perfect counterpart in the tension between imitative form and critical content

By Tom Pedulla, USA TODAY
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. Trainer Todd Pletcher hopes patience will be rewarded when he sends lightly-raced Dunkirk into the $750,000 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park on Saturday in an all-or-nothing proposition for the prized colt.
Pletcher decided to bide his time as the $3.7 million yearling purchase dealt with minor issues last year and went unraced as a 2-year-old. The trainer said he was unwilling to "make things happen sooner than the horse is ready to have it happen."
Dunkirk made an auspicious seven-furlong debut, winning by 5 3/4 lengths Jan. 24 despite a slow start and a troubled trip. He added a second victory at Gulfstream at the allowance level by 43/4 lengths Feb. 19 despite going very wide around the first turn in that 11/8-mile contest.
Now, in every sense, his margin for error is gone in the Florida Derby (ESPN, 5-6 p.m. ET). Only a win can ensure that the striking son of Unbridled's Song would have enough graded stakes earnings to quality for the May 2 Kentucky Derby, assuming the opening leg of the Triple Crown attracts the usual full field of 20 horses.
"We need everything to go right on Saturday to come out of the Florida Derby in the position we want to be in," Pletcher says. "A first puts us in without any question. A second (worth $150,000) puts us probably on the bubble." Dunkirk would probably not have enough time between races to make another start in a bid for additional graded stakes earnings before the Run for the Roses.
Pletcher acknowledges the difficulty of their position. "We're asking a lot of him," he says, "but only because he's shown us so much up to this point."
The oddsmaker agrees, installing Dunkirk as a 9-5 favorite. Fountain of Youth victor Quality Road is the 2-1 second choice.
Pletcher is doing everything he can to see that the colt lives up to those lofty expectations. Garrett Gomez, the Eclipse Award winner as the leading jockey in North America last season, is flying in from the West Coast for the mount. Dunkirk looks primed for a big effort after drilling five furlongs in 1:00 at nearby Palm Meadows last Saturday, the swiftest of 43 works at the distance that morning.
Beyond that, speedy Europe was entered to ensure that Quality Road, who possesses an early turn of foot, will not be allowed to run away from what is expected to be a nine-horse field. "My biggest concern is the pace scenario of the race," Pletcher says. "Quality Road, obviously we have a tremendous amount of respect for him and his abilities. What I don't want to see happen is a horse of that caliber loose on the lead through slow fractions."
The major issue for Quality Road and his jockey, John Velazquez, is how the horse will respond to his first test around two turns. Trainer Jimmy Jerkens is confident it'll go well. "We've tried to train him around two turns a lot and work him evenly," Jerkens says. "He seems to have a real good mind right now, so I'd be surprised if he didn't handle it."
Dubai World Cup:
Albertus Maximus will head a field of 14 when the world's richest horse race, the $6 million Dubai World Cup, is held Saturday at Nad al Sheba Racecourse.
Albertus Maximus took the Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park earlier this season but will be attempting 11/4 miles for the first time. "I'm not worried about the distance. He's working very well, and we think he'll get the 10 furlongs," said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
Other U.S. standouts in the World Cup are Arson Squad, Well Armed and Anak Nakal.

I wouldn't normally except....we don't have what I would call normal conditions in our house/climate/etc.
I line dry 95% of the clothes we have - but I use a dryer to make sure they are completely DRY before putting them away a lot of the time. Days when it is not just warm but low enough humidity (please don't ask %, I have no way of knowing!) aren't always common or consecutive. Or when clothes haven't had enough time before it started to sprinkle or before dusk and dew arrive - I want to avoid must and mold when the clothes are stored for periods of time in their dressers.
We also have an issue in our house where there is a growth of mold that, until it is eradicated, affects the entire house. It isn't noticeable unless the dehumidifier is not running (power outage). That's just the smell. But line drying in the basement during winter is OUT until we can properly address things, as it makes the issue so much more pervasive, AND the two dehumidifiers can't keep up with even a load a day (and really, it's just substituting the dehumidifier for the dryer). Mold is SUCH a health issue I have been learning about these past 8 months, and I won't go into it here, it's such a big thing, but it is so dangerous.
So I just keep clothes as dry as I can by touching them up with a dryer. One shirt can easily turn a drawer-full of clothes musty smelling, and it would only have to be a cuff, not even that much.
I try not to get too crazy about it, but staying on top of just touching up most line-dried items has saved me headaches.
Also want to mention that dryers need to be cleaned INSIDE (not just the filter) of lint that has built up. A dryer fire is no fun for anyone. And SOOT is a pain to have to try to clean from clothes - or anywhere else.
And one random mention that - fewer clothes would mean much less incidence of having to line dry in the first place - and less to store with less to get into trouble with must and mold, etc. THAT is a topic for a discussion I would love to have or find, but not here. : )
If you have a newer washer that uses less water then ditching the dryer becomes easier. They'll be almost dry to begin with. If you have an older washer that uses more water and temperamental weather, it's harder. I rarely use my dryer in the summer and do hang alot of stuff up in the colder months but with kids, I need the dryer in the winter. You could seriously put the dryer away in the warmer months and bring it back out for the winter if need be.
I am rerouting where the dryer is to make use of a space in the house we don't need which will free up the current laundry room to be renovated into another purpose. My washer is amazing- it has a high rpm spin, so the clothes are drier coming out than they were with my old washer. It is set up currently as a portable, so I have it in a nook off the kitchen- and right by the back porch door where my clothesline is. I set up a good cable clothesline off my porch, though I plan to put up a second as well- large family. And I will look at running a retractable line indoors for really crappy weather. My *goal* is to not use the dryer at this point, but I live in a fairly damp area for much of the year, so I will keep it just in case. It will be in a slightly less convenient location, but since I only plan to actually use it as a last resort, that should be ok.
I also am going to go make use of the laundromat to get everything all caught up at once (I am totally behind after a cross country move and a broken washer.) And will plan to do that once a month or so for large linens. My washer isn't large capacity, but is high efficiency. It was a kijiji find- free! and brand new. I can cope with less capacity. :)
Everyone has given me a lot to think about, and I have decided not to completely ditch the dryer just yet, but to be very conscious of when, how, and if I choose to use it.
While clothes do dry faster when well-spun, it can actually make clothes stiffer on the line and jersey knit clothes especially get stretched out and without the dryer won't "bounce back". If you have to extra time to dry, use the lowest spin setting for line drying.

In the warmer months I line dry everything except towels and sheets. Sheets because of pollen, dust etc and towels don't seem to get soft when line dried. I love using my clothesline and dryer rack :) Never thought about going dryer free though...hmmm something to think about.

So far so good, but I think I will probably resort to my dryer briefly today as I planned badly and missed that it is supposed to rain for three days. I can dry the lighter stuff indoors, but diapers and towels really might be better in the dryer for today.
That's another reason I like my dryer here, even in the "dry" months: I still can't plan on a "laundry day" from week to week. I really need to take it one load at a time, and be prepared to make a good day "laundry day". But if I happen to not be home that day..... well, I'm not getting rid of my dryer any time soon.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
No, my dryer is not an absolute necessity, but doing laundry would be a bit harder without it. We have neither an indoor nor an outdoor line and my neighbor might think it weird or rude if I ask her if I could occasionally (once a week?) come next door to hang our laundry on her line. I might call her about it, though, as she certainly isn't using it while she's "up north" (we're in Florida and she's a snowbird, gone for the summer).
We lived with my in-laws from late 2010 until early 2012 and I hadn't seen an indoor clothes line until then. They hung it in their garage from the door from the laundry room to the garage, across the garage, parallel with the garage door. It was on the opposite side from the garage door so it worked pretty well especially on hot days, though that didn't make it very pleasant for whoever had to step out that door and hang up the laundry (sometimes me, usually my mother-in-law). I might talk to my husband and his dad about installing one in our new house if there is a suitable place. An indoor line would also be better for my husband, at least in the spring, because he seems to suffer from allergies.
May God bless you and His Blessed Mother Mary keep you! :-)
Catholic Mama, maybe your neighbour would appreciate you borrowing herr line in the summer, as it would help keep her place from looking empty when she isn't there?
We've just gone through our first winter without a dryer and I haven't missed it one bit. It helps that we were heating with wood and hanging our clothes on drying racks on the second-floor landing, where they could be dry within minutes. Large sheets were hung on the railing and jeans on the stair railing closer to the wood stove. Sometimes our clothes got a bit smoky (no back-draft protection on our stove) but believe it or not, I actually got compliments on the scent from people who love wood fires. DH, the night-owl, would hang the clothes up at night (I would do a load in the evening) and I'd take it down in the morning.
I found our house was a lot dustier in the winter, but this was probably from the wood stove as much as from the laundry.
Now that it's Spring, we have enough nice weather here to hang out a load almost every day. As a SAHM, I have the luxury of looking out the window and determining if there's enough sun and breeze to do a quick load and have it dry before it rains or evening comes. If you are working, or time is an issue, consider doing a load at night so it's ready to hang out first thing in the morning. Some washers have a time delay mechanism, so you can load it up with clothes and soap and schedule it to start at a convenient time.
Lots of good points here from both sides. Personally, I love the outdoors smell of line-dried sheets, and find stiff towels are good for exfoliation!
I wish my DH had the same outlook on clean dog hair!
I choose flats partly for the fact they can be dried on line or if in dryer the minimized time. I use prefolds as a backup for my dog to use as a puppy pad. She mostly goes out. But a dozen or so take a long time to dry.
I REALLY hope next house has a line in already but if not one way or another one will go.
My next door neighbor said I can use her line until she comes home, and it made sense to her that her house would look less alone. Thanks for your encouragement!
May God bless you and His Blessed Mother Mary keep you! :-)
I have written several articles about the finer points of line-drying, all of which are linked here:
I started line-drying in 1990 and have never gone back to putting everything in the dryer. I still have some of the same clothes I had then! Things last a lot longer without the friction of the dryer.

What Is Power Skiving?
Skiving has been around for a long time, but recent technology advances have improved the speed and effectiveness of this gear-making process.
Gleason's 100PS power skiving machine offers an alternative to shaping and hobbing operations.
While attending Gear Expo last year, I sat in on a presentation by Gleason about power skiving, a gear production process. Although skiving was patented in 1910, recent advances in machine design, cutting tools and simulation software have overcome inherent process challenges to make it a more viable manufacturing option for gear producers.
Learn more in this article that article appeared in a recent Gear Production supplement to Modern Machine Shop.

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Starter for your vehicle. You purchased your Tundra because its best-in-class value and driver satisfaction appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Toyota vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. When your Toyota Tundra was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes economical pricing in their automobile.
Imagine having to crank your engine in order to get it going. The starter motor attached to your engine makes turning it over a breeze. The solenoid on your Toyota Tundra starter motor receives a signal from your ignition switch, and a relay closes a circuit that connects your battery to the starter motor; ultimately turning the flywheel or flexplate gear. An inoperable starter motor means your Toyota Tundra won't turn on... and that's no good for anyone.
Bring your Tundra back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Buying new Toyota parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Tundra parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Toyota Tundra Starter for your 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 model.

Great hosts with great service. Always available either by personal visit, mail or phone. The apartment was at a perfect location and had everything we needed for our stay to be as pleasant as possible.
Anat ând Chanat are great but the flat was dirty and and the power socket are not in good shape! Bed sheet was dirty as well.
Great flat close to centrum Sun clean and nice
--Can only recommend this flat! Good, central,quiet location, superb cleanliness and lots of space. Balcony an asset.
Well suited for families or friends (3-4) travelling together.
The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, with a convience store (24hr) across the street. The apartment had plumbing problem in bathroom, took at least 24 hours to send plumber. There was no soap dish in shower. Lights in the hallway shut off quickly - leaving you in complete darkness. No lock on front door of building, anybody can walk in.
We were absolutely satisfied. The location is perfect (walking distance to the city centre and the historic city). The apartment was clean and everything required in a household was provided.
The frist week of november we where in the Harlap. It was the second time, because we like this home. But now it was verry dirty on the floor and the pillows, mattreses where also dirty. In the livingroom and garden stands extra tables and chairs. The neighbour said it was from an arabic party.
We are missing comfortable chairs or extra sofa. We had a nice time in this home, but you take more care for it into the future.
Appartement idéalement situé à 15 minutes à pied de la vieille ville, au calme. Avec parc pour enfants, commodités...pratique pour famille de 5 personnes. Tout confort avec 2 salles de bain. Juste humidité dans chambre et salle de bain du fond, mais se résout en aérant régulièrement . Une adresse à garder! Et l'accueil est très sympathique
In tegenstelling tot de vorige accomodatie in Jeruzalem. Niet erg tevreden over deze accomodatie.De accomodatie was niet klaar nop de afgesproken tijd, we hebben ongeveer een half uur gewacht. Er was veel stuk, schimmel in de pannen, stinkende dekbedden zonder hoes, 1 kussen zonder sloop, te weinig stoelen voor 6 personen, vies bestek, vuile borden, veel rommel om het huis. 1 pluspunt het lag op 10 autominuten van de Mamila parkeergarage vanwaar ze zo de Jaffapoort in liep. Eerst aan de schoonmaak geweest, toen vakantie gevierd. Het wordt omschreven in de advertentie als "zonnig appartement" maar er is alleen 's middags even zon.
Dejlig stor og lys lejlighed i stille område (selvom der selvfølgelig er storbylyde) - og perfekt beliggende tæt ved den gamle bydel og restauranter.

About Us
Before a Scottie is adopted, STRSE absorbs all costs of medical and corrective treatments required for our Scotties before adoption. It's our goal to ensure that all our rescue Scotties are healthy before they leave our care - regardless of the amount of time it requires. Some of our rescues suffer from chronic, non-life threatening illnesses. Our policy is to provide full disclosure of all known medical conditions prior to adoption.
When an adoption is made, the adopter is required to sign a contract - agreeing to provide adequate care for the Scottie. We ask for a donation from the adopting individual or family to cover the rescue expenses.
If you are interested in the adoption of a Scottish Terrier with STRSE, we ask that you complete an adoption application by visiting our website at scottiesoutheast.org and choose the adoption application specific to your region: NC/SC, GA, or FL. You may also contact the coordinator specific to your state.

Our foster dogs come to us from a variety of sources. These include, but are not limited to:
We take them in, love them like our own, and ensure their medical needs are taken care of.
While they are in our care - our foster Scotties receive the following medical treatment:
We assess the dog's needs and find a great forever home from our pool of applicants!

When your Volkswagen Beetle was born, it was destined for a driver who values reliable performance in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. You purchased your Beetle because its German engineering and a variety of special options struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Anyone who owns a Volkswagen knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, there would be no way to generate enough power for efficient operation. The fact that your Volkswagen Beetle has mechanically timed ignition means that it has a distributor. Your distributor has several components inside of it, all of which can fail over its lifetime. However, as the distributor rotates thousands and thousands of times during each trip, the whole part is bound to fail eventually. Your replacement Volkswagen Beetle distributor should be just as good as your original.
When your Volkswagen needs a top quality replacement Distributor, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Distributor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Volkswagen Beetle Distributor parts for 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957, 1956, 1955, 1954, 1953, 1952, 1951, 1950 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Lebanese rescuer 'Green Helmet' injured
Associated Press ^ | 8/15/06 | KATHY GANNON
If all goes as it should - it won't be long before another 'bits the dust'
A "work injury"?
Of course this bastard is concerned about Israeli children too.....being the humanitarian that he is.
Here is some help in case you missed a few "Key Words."
Green Helmet Guy ping!
Raised up from the dead, eh?
Tripped hurrying to the site so he could control the photographers.
Gonna be captain obvious here, but when you fire at Israel from playgrounds and neighborhoods, innocents will be killed, ya goofball. Betcha had a green helmet on when you rode the short bus to school, too.
The missile had to fall on him four or five times before it looked just right.
Too bad he was only "slightly" injured.
"I fell over when the bomb hit, and I got some scratches"
He must have read Kerry's & Murtha's bios!
Better put some ice on that...
Lebanese rescuer 'Green Helmet' injured
Ahhh, isn't that too bad?
A TV camera fell on him while he was staging an atrocity? ;)
What an arrogant blowhard. He wants to "help" people. Just how much "help" does a dead person need? I guess he's insuring each corpse gets its 15 minutes of TV fame.
How do you go from "scratches" to "injured fighting a fire"? Ah yes, the sKerry skool of Drama.
More like a paper cut whilst hastily opening the envelope with the check from the DNC.
If the Internet had been as widespread then as it is now, I wonder what would have come out about Green Helmet at that time.
It is AMAZING how the AP tapdances around whether he is a terrorist-enabling propagandist or not.
And we should believe him and the media, because....?

All Product Details
But Wall Street went haywire and became (in Jon Stewart's words) a "bizarro" place that lost touch with most of America. Suzanne McGee provides a penetrating and disturbing look at forces that have transformed Wall Street into a risk-taking behemoth that spun out of control and took the economy and millions of 401(k)s down with it. Primary among these forces was "Goldman Sachs envy." The demons that drove Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers, Stanley O'Neil of Merrill Lynch, and the rest of Wall Street to ever-greater risk were perverse incentives and the illusion that they could make even more money than Goldman Sachs (where $11.6 billion in profits in 2007 led to an average bonus of $660,000).
Firsthand reporting from veteran Wall Street journalist McGee provides riveting storytelling and a narrative that will grab both Wall Street insiders and people on "Main Street." She is the perfect guide through the labyrinth that is Wall Street, which now reaches from the actual street to Greenwich-based hedge funds, investment banks, venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, the futures pits of Chicago, and sovereign wealth funds.
