Bogus Pentagon doc only the latest apparent forgery passed to Wash. Times ' Gertz
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Washington Post staff writer Howard Kurtz's March 18 article reports that an alleged Pentagon cable obtained by Washington Times national security correspondent Bill Gertz, which indicates that the Defense Intelligence Agency suspects NBC News military analyst William M. Arkin of spying for Saddam Hussein, is a forgery. The revelation apparently marks the second time in two months that Gertz and the Times have obtained false documents that discussed purported Pentagon investigations of Arkin.
While Gertz and the Times had yet to report on the Iraqi espionage allegations, Kurtz noted that a column Gertz did recently publish -- reporting that Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was investigating Arkin over disclosures in his recent book, Code Names: Deciphering U.S. Military Plans, Programs and Operations in the 9/11 World (Steerforth Press, January 2005) -- is false.
Media Matters for America has found that Gertz's February column about Arkin's book also appears to have been based on a fake Pentagon cable. Gertz and the Times' Pentagon correspondent, Rowan Scarborough, wrote in their February 4 "Inside the Ring" column:
The Joint Staff at the Pentagon last week ordered an investigation into the compromise of several programs that were revealed in a book by author William Arkin. According to a Jan. 25 cable from the Joint Staff to 14 military units, most of them involved in special operations, Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has asked for an "opsec" or operational security assessment of possible national security damage to special access programs and other "operational compromises" in the book, "Code Names."
Contradicting Gertz, Kurtz reported on March 18: "A spokesman for Myers, Navy Capt. Frank Thorp, said: 'There is no investigation that General Myers initiated on the Joint Staff that I can find or that I even know about, prompted by him or by anybody else.' " The fact that Gertz appears to have obtained two fake Pentagon cables raises questions about whether he has an ongoing relationship with a source who is acting to smear Arkin, a vocal critic of President Bush's foreign policy.
Regardless of Gertz's source, however, his debunked February column was not the first instance of conservative media figures smearing Arkin, who has worked for two progressive think tanks, the Institute for Policy Studies and the Center for Defense Information; two environmental groups that also study military affairs, Greenpeace and National Resources Defense Council; and the human rights group Human Rights Watch. He has written columns for the Los Angeles Times, Washingtonpost.com, and the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.
Arkin was the original source of video and audiotapes, portions of which NBC News first aired on October 15, 2003, in which Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin, now deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, made controversial statements casting the war on terrorism as a clash of religions.
Conservative radio host and Weekly Standard contributing writer Hugh Hewitt wrote a hit piece on Arkin on October 23, 2003, accusing him of taking Boykin out of context and refusing to provide complete transcripts of Boykin's remarks at various church services and prayer breakfasts, which NBC News drew on for its report. Hewitt called Arkin a liar:
Arkin also wrote that "Boykin has made it clear that he takes his orders not from his Army superiors but from God -- which is a worrisome line of command." This statement ... appears to be pure fiction. But we can't know for sure because Arkin hasn't released the full transcripts of the talks Boykin gave. Arkin promised to do so when I interviewed him, but has since told my producer he won't be providing them because I have misquoted him on my website--another lie from Arkin, to go along with his broken promise of full disclosure.
Fox News managing editor Brit Hume picked up on Hewitt's unverified allegation on the "Political Grapevine" segment of the October 23, 2003, edition of Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: The speech excerpts on NBC last week portraying Lt. Gen. William Boykin as an intolerant, religious zealot were furnished by William Arkin, a columnist for the L.A. Times and a consultant for NBC. In addition to the excerpts on tape, Arkin says he has transcripts of Boykin's full remarks. But despite promises to release those transcripts, Arkin has declined to do so.
For the record, before the L.A. Times, Arkin worked for the Institute for Policy Studies -- a self-described "progressive think tank" run by, among others, outspoken war critic Harry Belafonte. And for Greenpeace -- the militant environmental group. And for Human Rights Watch -- the vehemently anti-war organization.
On the same day, Frank J. Gaffney Jr., Washington Times columnist and president of the conservative Center for Security Policy, also attacked Arkin for his role in the Boykin story. Gaffney labeled Arkin "an inveterate leftist activist-turned columnist and TV commentator" in his October 23, 2003, column.
Arkin also sparked attacks from conservatives, including Gertz and Gaffney, when he co-authored a 1991 report for Greenpeace that concluded, based on interviews and published reports, that U.S. military, Iraqi civilian, and Iraqi military casualties in the first Gulf War were higher than earlier estimates.
In a January 20, 1991, Washington Times article titled "15,000 Civilian Dead? Greenpeace's Gulf war estimate repudiated," Gertz wrote: "Critics on both the left and the right are challenging an estimate by the radical environmental group Greenpeace that up to 15,000 Iraqi civilians were killed by allied bombing in the Persian Gulf war, a war the group described as the most destructive conflict in history." The article quoted Gaffney attacking Arkin's credibility:
Former Pentagon policy-maker Frank Gaffney said the Greenpeace report is suspect because its primary author is William Arkin, a former Army intelligence analyst whose past writings have become causes celebres for the political left. ...
"I viscerally distrust everything Bill Arkin writes," said Mr. Gaffney, director of the Center for Security Policy, a pro-defense research group.
Arkin's study, which is not available online, is titled On Impact--Modern Warfare and the Environment: A Case Study of the Gulf War. The other authors were Damian Durrant and Marianne Cherni.
Kurtz wrote a profile of Arkin on May 24, 2002.

Temperamental hair!!
Frustrated today with the moisture/protein balance issue.
My hair has been dry lately, so I have only been co-washing for the pas few days. (I typically low-poo a couple times a week.).
Today I actually got much better curls! They spiraled and clumped, and I thought ok, I finally have moisture back in my hair.
Well, by the end of the day my hair seems over-conditioned. It's too soft, has no hold, is very fly-away - all the OC symptoms.
So I need a protein treatment, I'm sure. I will do a gelatin one Friday, but tomorrow I'll just try to go heavy of the protein condish and products.
If its not one thing with my hair, it's another! My hair is a spoiled brat!!
End rant. Lol!!

The Creek War of 1813 and 1814
The Banshi Skirmish
Halbert, H. S. and Ball, T. H.
A steed comes at morning; no rider is there;
But its bridle is red with the sign of despair.
--Lochzel's Warning.
It is not certain when the events bearing this name took place. An intelligent citizen of Clarke county says, before Fort Easeley was evacuated. Pickett says early in October. The inmates of Fort Easeley and of Turner's Fort came for greater security to Fort St. Stephens, probably early in September, and from this neighborhood Colonel William McGrew, with some twenty-five mounted men, had gone up the river, into the Wood's Bluff neighborhood, to look after the Indians who among the various tenantless and exposed plantations were committing depredations. Before this small band of horsemen had reached a little stream called Bashi, that flows into the Tombigbee a mile or two north of Wood's Bluff, they suddenly found themselves among concealed Creek warriors. They were ambushed. A turkey tail was raised above a log by one of the concealed Indians, and this was the signal for attack. The Indians who had guns instantly fired from their places of concealment and the white leader, who had taken part in the Burnt Corn engagement, fell from his horse. Edmund Miles was also killed, and Jesse Griffin severely wounded. Colonel McGrew's men returned the fire of the Indians, but without much effect. The Indians from their places of ambush had largely the advantage of the mounted men, and these found it needful to make good their retreat. Besides the commanding officer three of the men were missing Edmund Miles, Jesse Griffin, and David Griffin. These two Griffins were twins. One of them on the morning of that fatal day seemed to expect some calamity, and they agreed to stand by each other, the one not to leave the other in case of danger. They came into the world together, and they proposed, if need should be, to stand or fall side by side, and go out of the world together. According to the best information Jesse Griffin was shot through the thigh and, being unable to retreat with the others, his brother David, according to their agreement, staid by him while life remained. It is one tradition that the two kept up a fire upon the Indians, as fast as they could load their guns, until seven of the Indians were killed; but, however that may be, it is very sure that among the few whites and the Indians slain the body of David Griffin was not found. His son, William Griffin, born at Wood's Bluff in 1812, and at this time with his mother either in Fort Easeley or at St. Stephens, a resident at Bashi in 1879, states, as the account that was given to him, that the last sight which his comrades had of his father, as the Indians were still firing upon them in their retreat, showed him in the act of loading his gun, himself then with a broken limb, but resolute in appearance, as determined to fight to the last moment of his life. William Griffin, was informed by those who hold a right to know that the body of his father was surely never found. All that was found as a trace of him on that skirmish field was the breech of his gun. The barrel was not there. His body, like the body or person of the young Kimbell boy, disappeared, how, none of his friends ever knew.
Colonel McGrew's horse, like the dark gray charger of Mamilius in Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome, started for his home.
Says Alexander Carleton, Esq., of Clarke County, "On the next morning after the battle, the Colonel's horse was at St. Stephens, thirty miles distant, with signs of blood on the saddle, and only one pistol in his holster."
Some days afterwards, General Claiborne crossed the river from St. Stephens, and advanced into this Wood's Bluff and Bashi region. The bodies of Colonel McGrew, of Edmund Miles, and of Jesse Griffin were found and were buried with military honors. These men fell "about five miles east of Wood's Bluff, near the present Linden and Coffeeville road, and about a half mile south-west of the Bashi bridge."*
[* One frosty morning I passed this spot alone on horseback and the road was lonely enough then for Indians to have easily ambushed a traveller. A "frail memorial" had been erected there but it was decayed and no longer of use. T. II. B.]
General Claiborne spent a few days scouring this wild region. He found some Indians. Several of his men were wounded in the skirmish engagements. Among those severely wounded was Captain William Bradberry, another of those officers who had fought at Burnt Corn. Says Hon. E. S. Thornton of West Bend, he was shot "about two miles above the Lewis Mitchell place, and five miles above West Bend, on the old Coffeeville and Wood's Bluff river road." His wound proved to be fatal.
Claiborne and his men returned to Jackson below St. Stephens, on the east side of the river, then commonly called Pine Level, and there for a time they camped, hoping to receive orders or permission from General Flournoy to cross the Alabama and proceed into the Creek country.

A blog about clawfoot tubs, bathroom renovation and anything else that looks interesting.
Wednesday, April 01, 2009
New Acrylic Clawfoot Bathtubs
You probably don't get as excited about bathtubs as we do, at Vintage Tub and Bath. However, if you plan to remodel your bathroom in the future and like the look of clawfoot bathtubs, you will be able to relate to our excitement.
We now exclusively offer a premium line of acrylic bathtubs from our Randolph Morris collection.
So why should this excite you? Since these acrylic clawfoot tubs are built from high quality, lightweight materials, they do not weigh as much as traditional cast-iron bathtubs. The new bathtubs are much lighter, resulting in a less stressful transportation and installation process. Another reason to become enthusiastic about these tubs is that they are less expensive than other acrylic clawfoot tubs.
Now you can fulfill your clawfoot desire while saving money and time!

Rev. soc. bras. fonoaudiol. [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.3, pp.381-386. ISSN 1982-0232. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-80342009000300015.
PURPOSE: To verify the evolution in nutrition and clinical stability of children with spastic tetraparetic cerebral palsy, after therapeutic intervention. METHODS: Data from before and after the therapeutic process were raised from the medical records of 36 children with spastic cerebral palsy, regarding classification of functional oral intake (FOIS scale) and degree of dysphagia, food consistency, and suggestive signs of penetration and/or tracheal aspiration. RESULTS: Most subjects were fed with special preparation, before and after intervention, with restrictions to solid and liquid foods in the second instance. It was observed decrease of the severity of dysphagia, reduction of the incidence of bronchopneumonia and pulmonary hypersecretion, weight increase, and reduction of suggestive signs of penetration and/or tracheal aspiration, except for refusal of food and cyanosis. CONCLUSION: Speech-language intervention in dysphagia, along with the work of a multidisciplinary team, promotes better functionality of swallowing and reduction of suggestive signs of penetration and/or tracheal aspiration, as well as improved clinical stability.

The Socialist Myth of the Greedy Banker and of Economic Monopoly HTML version
Most people are convinced that private banks are responsible, or at least mostly
responsible, for the current economic crisis. The truth is that the crisis is the outcome of
the policies followed by the political systems of the U.S.A., the E.U. and China. But I
describe the major causes of the crisis in my essay "The causes of the economic crisis",
and therefore the purpose o f this document is not to explore them, but rather to explain in
very simple words, why private banks are not at all responsible for the crisis, since they
cannot "create" money. Even though I have postgraduate studies in economics I am not a
specialist, and this document is the knowledge I gathered in an attempt to answer my own
questions. Moreover English is not my first language and you will have to excuse my
To show that private banks cannot "create" money, is very important since excessive
mo ney creation in the U.S.A., the E.U. and China, was one of the main causes of the
current crisis. Equally important is to explain why excessive money creation is always
and everywhere a government act. What happened in reality is that excessive money
creation was simply used to accommodate the unsustainable fiscal policies followed for
years by many countries. Unfortunately it is much easier to notice the private banks credit
expansion with the abundance of cheap credit, and the resulting bubbles, and much
harder to realize that it was state policies and laws that dictated such expansions and led
to bubble creation.
Since the average person is well aware of the credit expansion and the inflationary
money of the pre-crisis era, it is not unreasonable for him to assume that the cause of the
crisis is the "uncontrollable" and "unstable" private banking sector. But if a person is
mistakenly convinced that the private banking sector is responsible for the crisis, a very
reasonable response would be to ask for more government regulation. Wouldn't that be
the most natural response? I therefore believe that it is of great importance for the general
public to realize that private banks cannot create inflationary money. O nly governments
can do so by introducing relevant laws as I explain below.
In order to do so, I use various economic examples to show that private banks cannot
"create" money. First I use an example where private banks issue their own bank notes

Recently I had a chance to spend some time with a young man (14 years old) I met a few years ago at an ICAST show. His name is Nathan, and he is from the St. Louis area of Illinois. He has a drive and passion for the sport that reminds me of when I was his age. Like I did then, he has his mind set on becoming a pro bass angler.
We had a long discussion about high school fishing and youth fishing programs and events. From what I understand, the kids need to come up with their own boats and boat drivers. This is understandable, but it does shut the door on a lot of kids who can't come up with a resource like that.
We then discussed him joining a local bass club as a non-boater for their events — after all, that is how I started. I was shocked to find out that the bass clubs won't allow him to join because he is not old enough. Once again, I understand the dilemma of allowing young adults to join the clubs. However, I can't help but think there is room and a way to allow the younger generation to be a part of the club. How else are we going to nurture their desire to fish competitively and learn from on the water experiences.
Nathan isn't the only young man I have had the time to talk to. I talk to young boys and girls all around the country that all love to fish and want to be pro anglers when they finish school. If we turn them away because they don't have access to a boat or because they are not "old enough" for the club, how are we going to continue to grow the sport of competitive bass fishing?
I look back to when my dad and I went to the Shawnee Mission Bassmasters club here in Kansas City and talked about joining. They took it to a vote on whether I would be allowed in at the age of 14, and luckily they approved it. I can't imagine what would be different today if they have not allowed me into that club. The club was not only the biggest learning process I had in my ascent to becoming a pro angler, but some of my biggest fans and best friends come from my days as a member of that club. For that I am forever grateful to that club, and to club fishing in general. I just ask clubs to take the time to consider the good you can do for our youth by finding ways to include them, not exclude them.
Not to change the subject, but let's talk fishing for a second. Right now, the next few weeks, are in my opinion the toughest time of the year to pattern fish. The fish are scattered all through the lake, from six inches to 20 feet and more. It's the ultimate junk fishing time of year everywhere. My recommendation is to cover a lot of water and don't get to keyed in on a spot, bait or depth range. Keep that in mind when you go fishing over the next few weeks. I guess it's the reason I take this time of year as a break from the water and dove hunt and hang tree stands for the upcoming hunting season.

Harry Potter Tennis Week at DB
Published July 15th, 2011
Loading Video...
The DB Racquet Club held their annual tennis camp last week, but camp organizer Gretchen Blair decided to bring a little magic to the courts.
At the first-ever Harry Potter Tennis Week at DB, each camper was sorted into a house (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff,and Ravenclaw) for tennis quidditch, wand making, dueling, butterbeer, and more. This year the Hufflepuff House won the House Cup, but all campers had fun all week competing.
The camp kept the excitement in all the young muggles for the movie release, but DB Racquet Club plans to continue Harry Potter camps for years to come.

Kemble reports: "On Tuesday, six people set off from the state capitol in Madison, WI, on a 170-mile walk to Chicago to protest the NATO summit scheduled for May 20."

Walking to NATO Protest in Chicago
05 May 12
n Tuesday, six people set off from the state capitol in Madison, WI, on a 170-mile walk to Chicago to protest the NATO summit scheduled for May 20. They will be sleeping in people's homes, churches and community centers in 25 cities along the way, educating people about drone warfare, the suffering of the Afghan people and the need to shift our social and economic priorities away from war production.
The walk is organized by Buddy Bell and Kathy Kelly of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, a Chicago-based group dedicated to nonviolent resistance to U.S. war-making.
Members of Voices have led over 70 delegations to Iraq to challenge the economic sanctions and were present in Baghdad in resistance to the 2003 U.S. military invasion. Since 2009, Voices has led five delegations to Afghanistan and two to Pakistan to listen and learn from nonviolent grassroots movements and to raise awareness about the negative impacts of U.S. militarism in the region.
This is the message they are carrying to NATO:
"We propose a different agenda for The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO): immediately end your drone strikes, dismantle the NATO-ISAF armed mission in Afghanistan, and end your diplomatic and financial support for Hamid Karzai and the warlords in the National Assembly. Finally, we hold NATO responsible for providing reparations to the Afghans commensurate to the destruction caused by the Afghanistan War since NATO assumed command of the ISAF operation in 2003. These reparations must be dispersed by an independent body and might take the form of food aid, water filtration, public housing, public infrastructure projects, etc."
Bell and Kelly are joined by Kathy Walsh of Madison, Alice Gerard of Grand Island, NY, Brian Terrell from Maloy, Iowa, and Jules Orkin from Bergenfield, NJ. Seasoned anti-war activists all, they have a total of 128 years of organizing and demonstrating among them.
In a press conference at the capitol, each of the walkers said a few words about why they were embarking on this journey. Gerard opposes the use of drones and the backward priorities of the U.S. Government. "Our country is rotting away from the inside. There are not resources for education and healthcare, but we have unlimited resources for oppression and destruction abroad," she said.
Brian Terrell said, "Our pressing domestic problems can't be solved while waging wars of aggression around the world." He mentioned that President Obama had just declared May 1 "National Loyalty Day" urging the people of the U.S. to pledge their loyalty to the flag and the troops who fight to defend it. Terrell called that a "strange perversion" of May Day, originally a commemoration of the Haymarket Massacre where armed forces turned their weapons on strikers and eight anarchists were falsely accused of throwing a bomb at police and four of them were hung. Terrell said, "our loyalties are with the children of Afghanistan and all workers across national boundaries."
Kathy Kelly took the opportunity to rail against the secret agreement signed by Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai the night before in a secret, dead of night meeting at Bagram Airbase. While details of the agreement have not been released to the public, the broad outlines suggest an extension of the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan until at least 2024. Drawing the connection between the oil and mineral interests at stake in Afghanistan and the U.S. military presence there, Kelly said, "Domination of the economy by production for wars is necessary to support the profit-making structures of those in power. When will profiteers realize that they can still make money by making things that are good for people and the planet?"
The Voices walkers will be holding teach-in events in Milwaukee on May 8 and 9, and in Racine on May 11. They welcome people to join them at any point in their journey for any length of time.
For more information about how to support the group and their specific whereabouts at any moment, call (312) 348-0339.

Howard I. Dillingham
President, Ithaca College, 1957-1970
Howard Dillingham came to Ithaca College in 1951 as assistant to the president. In 1953 he was promoted to vice president.
Herman B. Muller, chairman of the College's board of trustees, announced Dillingham's appointment as president, noting that "Dr. Dillingham has been with the College nearly five years, and has, through his work as vice president since 1953, demonstrated his competence as a college executive. The members of the Board of Trustees have great confidence in his ability to discharge the duties of this important and critical office."
Dillingham was officially invested as president during a convocation on October 12, 1957. The event was held at the Presbyterian Church in downtown Ithaca.

Q. We are headquartered in Oklahoma and have offices in another state that do their own hiring. Must I maintain a copy of I-9s at our headquarters from that other office? — Holly, Oklahoma
A. No, you do not need to maintain all of the I-9 forms for the company in one location. Employers must make their I-9 records available for inspection upon request by officers of either the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Labor with at least three days' advance notice.
If an employer has several offices and maintains I-9s only at one central location, the government auditor must go to that central location. The employer doesn't need to move I-9s around the country. The employer also has the option of taking the requested records to the government office for review there.

Go Companion
Sample PDF
John Fairbairn, author of The Go Companion, has been studying and commenting on the world of go for years. The 34 articles that comprise this book touch on a wide assortment of topics, from game commentaries, narratives of special events, and stories of historical figures in go, to discussions of unusual moves as well as trends in opening theory. For instance, are you aware of the pro game where Black started on the 3-2 point? Some material has never been published in English before, such as details of the Atomic Bomb Game. The Go Companion also includes the first accurate translation of the famous go scenes in The Tale of Genji, and a fascinating attempt to explain Go Seigen's ideas about the game. For a complete list of topics, see the table of contents included in the sample pages. The image on the cover was created by Mark Odaka, known in the go community as 'tweet' of IGS.

Detroit's Big Three trying to power up Motor City
Stephen McGee / for NBC News
The building has been abandoned for years, but its windows arent broken and theres no graffiti on its walls unlike so many other forgotten hulks nearby in the long-impoverished southwest corner of Detroit.
Community organizers promise to soon reopen the Mexicantown Mercado and turn it into an anchor for the citys Latino community. They also hope to turn the complex into a shining example of what can happen in Detroit with help from the companies that transformed the once sleepy Midwest town into the Motor City.
As part of Operation Brighter Future, Ford Motor Co. is pumping $10 million into the resurrection of the Mexicantown Mercado which will serve as a new food bank and community center and be renamed the Ford Resource and Engagement Center. Company officials, notably including new Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields, promise still more aid to come for the long-beleaguered Detroit.
Such moves are not entirely altruistic, said Fields. Detroits long-running problems dont just serve as the butt of jokes when he travels, but the transplanted Jersey boy has also seen firsthand that it can be difficult to get others to migrate to Motown.
The community we live in can be either a draw or not to get the best and brightest we need for our companys future, Fields said.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University men's tennis team learned Thursday that it has earned an invitation to participate in the NCAA Division II Tournament for the ninth consecutive year.
The 13-4 Patriots, who are ranked 18th in the latest national Top 30 poll, will play in one of two Mid-Atlantic Region Tournaments, May 3-4, in Spartanburg on the campus of USC Spartanburg.
The four-team regional consists of eighth-ranked USCS (19-1), 12th-ranked Lander University (13-4), 17th-ranked Anderson College (16-4) and FMU, and may be the toughest regional field, as no other regional boasts four top-20 programs. Lander won eight straight national titles between 1993 and 2000.
On Saturday, May 3, Lander will play Anderson at 10 a.m., while Francis Marion will face USCS at 2 p.m. The two winners will play on Sunday at 1 p.m. for the regional title and the right to advance to National Championship round of Sweet Sixteen in Altamonte Springs, Fla., May 8-11.
The 61-team national tournament field includes five Peach Belt Conference schools and defending national champion BYU-Hawaii.
The Patriots, under the direction of 11th-year head coach Garth Thomson (162-73 career record), finished fourth during the Peach Belt Conference regular season and placed fifth at the recent Peach Belt Tournament. Playing an extremely tough 2003 schedule, all four of FMU's losses were to nationally ranked opponents that earned invitations to this year's Division II tournament.
One of the losses was a 6-2 decision to USCS on April 6 in Florence. Three of the singles matches went to three sets. FMU was to have played both Lander and Anderson during the 2003 regular season, but both matches were rained out.
The Patriot men have won their regional and advanced to the "Sweet Sixteen" in three of the past five years (1998, 1999, 2001).

The plan keeps earlier proposals to discontinue horse rentals for the public in Yosemite Valley, although horse rentals will continue at Wawona, on the southern edge of the park.
"Most of it sounds great. But it's too bad they are ending the horse rentals in the valley stables," said Peggy DeBuyser, a horse rider who owns a hair salon in nearby Mariposa. "It's a shame they don't just leave things be."

Pour Your Heart Out - Dear Anxiety
Congratulations Shell for having Pour Your Heart Out going for two years! Thank you for giving us all a place to say the things we can't.
Dear Anxiety,
Your reared your ugly head into my life as a child, but I would never realize this until I became an adult. Growing up as the daughter of an alcoholic allowed you to sneak into my life.
We didn't became acquainted until you came out a few years back in the form of panic attacks and depression. I can't say I was happy to meet you, but at least you waited until I was older to give me the best shot you had.
I deal with you everyday. You are a full part of my life. I am ok with this. I am strong and I work every day towards getting you out of my life for good and learning how to cope with you.
Just know, every day I get stronger and I am ready to fight you even harder. You can give me your best shot.....I'm ready for you.

Growing up can be so difficult in a perfect setting. Add some awful like this and it's almost impossible to come out untouched.ReplyDelete
Have a terrific day Lydia. Big hug. :)
Anxiety is so hard to deal with. I am glad that you are fighting. You are obviously very strong and will beat anxiety down.ReplyDelete
Love the strength in this! xoReplyDelete

As MSN/Live has never indexed more than 5-7% of my website, I'll be curious to see if their crawler makes full use of the capabilities.
MSN has to do alot more to get the tool up to speed with the likes of the yahoo! site explorer and esspecially the google webmaster tool.
It only gives up the obvious data that doing generic site search functions you can achive the same things.
I've returned to the site several times to see if they've added *anything* remotely useful. It's a joke.
The robots.txt Validator (or as they call it, the robot.txt Validator... I guess they only know of one) cannot even read my robots.txt file. I have to cut/paste? You have to be kidding me.
The 5-green-bar thingy jumps around continuously. One day, my top pages rank a 5-spot, the next day, it's white.
The Top Links To is a mess. I've got hundreds of inbound links. They show me exactly TEN, two of which rank 1-green-light. These are supposed to represent my "top ten"?
Not impressed, not even remotely captivated....

Do you think every user needs to add their own verification code? If so, then the guy that controls FTP on the site itself is going to start getting a bit upset.
It would help if the error message was more self-explanatory.
Another issue seems to be that we have two of our top pages listed as our domain name, whilst the other three are listed as the page title. Obviously the latter at lerast is unique.

The joint honours BSc International Relations and History is offered by the Department of International History in conjunction with the Department of International Relations.
Students who wish to complement the in-depth understanding of the complex unfolding of historical events with a theoretical perspective on how international society is organised can take a degree in International Relations and History.
Students taking a degree in IR and History take an equal number of courses from each of the two departments. History courses range from relations between Muslims, Christians and Jews in early modern Spain to the Russian Revolution, from the rise and fall of the British Empire in India, to the Cold War. For a full list of the courses we offer, please see: Undergraduate Course Guides.
As part of this degree, students take three required courses in International Relations: The Structure of International Society, Foreign Policy Analysis, and International Organisations. Final year students have the option of writing a 10,000 word History dissertation. For full details on what courses students can take at each stage of their degree, please see the LSE Calendar.
The degree places a strong emphasis on developing analytical skills, with a focus on discerning academic opinions, interrogating sources, and developing arguments.
First year
In your first year, you are going to study:
Concepts of International Society is an examination of the theories and concepts designed to explain the nature of contemporary international relations.
International History since 1890 is the history of international relations from the 1890s through the 1990s.
Your final two options are chosen from:
From Empire to Independence and War and Society or from the wide range offered by other departments at LSE, including language courses.
From Empire to Independence: The Extra European World in the 20th Century is an introductory survey of events outside Europe in the twentieth century.
War and Society from the Renaissance to the Napoleonic Era c.1500-1815 provides a broad, thematic study of war and society from the early sixteenth century to the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
Second and third years
In the second year you take the compulsory course International Political Theory.
Additionally you take a core course in international relations (Foreign Policy Analysis or International Organisations), and courses in international history.
International Political Theory is the core subject for specialists in international relations. It consists of a survey, in two parts, of thinking about international relations, with emphasis on the political aspects.
Foreign Policy Analysis offers various theoretical perspectives on foreign policy, and the means of conduct of the main actors in the international system towards each other.
International Organisations explores major theoretical and empirical aspects of the role of international organizations in international politics.
You also take two modern history international options.
In the third year, you take a further international relations core course with one international relations course, one of the document based special subjects in international history and a further course in either subject (this may include a dissertation in history) or from another department.
You also take Foreign Policy Analysis or International Organisations, whichever you did not take in the second year.
Click here for a full explanation of the Programme Regulations and a full list of courses available.
You will have a combination of weekly lectures and small classes, amounting to about eight contact hours per week.

Home Heart-Health Checks Work, but Follow-Up Is Still a Must
More doctors are looking to a host of emerging gadgets patients can use to manage chronic disease at home, such as do-it-yourself blood pressure monitors.
But, making use of the reams of data they can produce remains a problem. A new study shows that patients who monitor their blood pressure at home don't get much benefit—unless their doctors provide extra services like digital monitoring and counseling.

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on November 10, 2010
Microsoft began opening its own retail stores in 2009 and recently began a push into more US cities. A recent post by George Anderson on Forbes.com about Microsoft's new store format prompted me into some late-night analysis. It appears Microsoft's store format strategy is to ride in the draft of Apple by building larger-format stores very near, if not adjacent to, Apple's own stores. As a retail analyst and both an Apple and Microsoft customer for over 25 years, I feel compelled to weigh Microsoft's retail strategy against Apple's (and since I cover retail strategy from a CIO perspective, it feels appropriate to publish here).
Comparing eight success factors
Location: I'll start here, as it was the subject of the original post. Across from Apple may be the only sensible choice for MS, but the challenge MS has is that Apple is a destination store, i.e. people plan to go there for the experience. This makes it less likely they will decide to browse the MS store because it is close. On the other hand, assuming MS does some promotions to attract traffic to its stores, they are likely to also drive additional traffic to Apple. Predicted winner = Apple.

Ham and Artichoke Panini
Easy and quick to prepare, this ham and artichoke panini is guaranteed to be your new favorite lunch meal.
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes 4 panini
- 4 extra-thick pocketless pita breads, halved horizontally
- 6 ounces sliced provolone cheese
- 6 ounces sliced ham
- 2 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni
- 1/3 cup pitted Calamata olives, coarsely chopped
- One 7-ounce jar marinated artichokes, drained
- 12 basil leaves
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
How to make this recipe
Arrange the pitas cut side up on a work surface. Cover 4 of the pita halves with the provolone. Arrange the ham, pepperoni, olives and artichokes, each on its own quadrant of the 4 panini halves. Top with the basil leaves and mozzarella and close the pitas. Brush the tops with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the remaining olive oil in each of 2 large skillets. Add 2 pita panini to each and press down with a smaller skillet. Cook over moderate heat, turning once, until the cheese is melted and the panini are crisp, about 10 minutes. Cut into quarters and serve.

A friend recently suggested that I find a tutor to teach my two sons Mandarin. The search is on not only because it is a great idea, but because it really will be critical to their future. Despite the chorus of disbelief surrounding the Economic super engine in, I am a believer, a big one in fact. On a recent Fast Money show I quizzed former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez on the validity of China's economic data. Happy with his answer, I continue to look East just as I did in the first quarter when China was the global stabilization force in the Armageddon storm. November brings some fresh data out of and further evidence of China's economic strength. It appears that Premier Wen Jiabao's $586 billion stimulus plan and loan growth strategy is working. The Federation of Logistics and Purchasing reports that the Purchasing Managers Index continues to rise, from 54.3 in September to 55.2 for October. China's export economy looks good as well, with export orders climbing in October as well. Clearly these numbers suggest the global recession has ended and that the recovery process is underway. Domestically robust Chinese auto sales rose above 1 million for the first time in September.
The Chinese government has an 8 percent GDP benchmark for 2009; the newly released data suggests the actual GDP number for 2009 exceeds that possibly challenging 10 percent. Not so bad for the world's third largest economy. The Chinese stimulus package mattered more to the U.S. investor than our own. The economic figures coming out of China should also matter to U.S. investors. The need to pay attention to China has never been more evident than in 2009.
