Surprising Reasons You Aren't Losing WeightBy Soft Spoken Soft Surroundings on April 22, 2013, in Beauty Knowledge Center, Soft Surroundings, Well Being
Whether you're trying to shed those last pesky pounds or have a bit more to lose, we'll give you the skinny on how you can really lose the weight this time… and keep it off. You might be surprised what's holding you back.
Diet: A Four-Letter Word
Instead of calling it a diet, why not consider this a lifestyle change to reimagine a slimmer you. Let's take the focus off the scale and put the spotlight on how you feel inside and out. When you're living healthier, your clothes will fit better, your posture will improve and you will look and feel slimmer. This is a mindset that allows for cheats and treats and doesn't eliminate entire food groups like some fad diets, because honestly, most diets just aren't sustainable.
Perfecting Your Pantry
Just like a divine recipe takes gourmet ingredients, a lifelong commitment to a healthy weight also requires a good mix of quality food. One trick is to shop the perimeter of your grocery store, concentrating your purchases in the fresh produce, fresh meat and dairy aisles and limiting your choices in the more processed canned and packaged food aisles. Fresh foods like fruits and vegetables and lean meats not only fuel your body for day-long energy, they also boast youth-restoring antioxidants. Did you realize that canned vegetables often have added sodium? Fresh, or even frozen at the peak of ripeness, without the additives is so much healthier. Dairy gets a bad reputation, but it is actually good for weight loss and so important for your bones, especially after menopause. Low-fat yogurt with a little bit of fresh, antioxidant-rich berries can really feel like a treat. Sprinkle a little granola on top for some extra crunch! Apples have been shown to reduce your appetite and keep you feeling full, while the fiber helps your body release fat. Why not try one before a meal?
Healthy Fats
Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like wild-caught salmon, walnuts and pasture-raised eggs can boost metabolism to burn more fat and increase blood flow to your muscles which increases the benefits of your exercise. As if that weren't enough, Omega-3s also hydrate your skin which, in turn, helps minimize wrinkles. Try exchanging butter for olive oil. There are some tasty, flavored varieties that add so much interest to meats, vegetables and pastas. And don't waste calories on frozen, cardboard-tasting, "slim-quick" meals. They'll just leave you hungry in a couple of hours and your choices might not be as good when you're looking for a quick snack.
Weight Saboteurs
Soda and highly-processed chips and candies offer zero nutritional benefits and empty calories which only translate into extra pounds. That doesn't mean you need to completely deprive yourself, though. Just make smarter choices. Read the labels. Typically the fewer ingredients listed (and the more ingredients you actually recognize as food and not additives), the better. High fructose corn syrup is a known healthy-eating no-no. This so-called natural ingredient acts anything but natural in our bodies, blocking the hormonal signal that tells your body to stop eating. You'd be surprised where this "natural" ingredient is lurking. Just check your labels. Swap processed, white bread and pasta for fiber-rich whole grain varieties. The key here is "whole" grain or wheat. If it doesn't say "whole" wheat, then it's processed. Studies say people who eat whole grains regularly have a lower risk of obesity and lower cholesterol levels.
So how can you still indulge without packing on the pounds? Swap greasy chips for lower-cal pretzels, a handful of almonds or fresh-popped popcorn, minus the butter. To satisfy your sweet tooth, try a few squares of heart-healthy dark chocolate. Even better, have a few dark chocolate-covered almonds. Another great sweet treat, why not enjoy a tasty, whole grain oatmeal and raisin cookie? Rich in fiber, both oatmeal and raisins help you feel full longer and give you long-lasting energy. Just be sure to choose a less-processed variety. Replace your high-calorie, high fructose corn syrup-laden soda with fresh-brewed iced tea. A little bit of honey makes tea all the sweeter. Or try a flavored water, even a carbonated variety if you crave the fizziness of soda, but try to choose one without any artificial sweeteners. Believe it or not, even the zero-calorie diet sodas can pack on the pounds because that artificial sweetener plays a little trick on the brain, making you think you're actually hungry. Just dropping one regular soda a day can equal a whopping 16 lb weight loss in one year!
Just Add Water
Sipping water throughout the day can keep hunger at bay. Water is good for every part of your body, including your skin. It doesn't have to be high-priced bottled water. Tap water is just as good and even contains smile-friendly flouride. Grab an insulated, reusable water bottle, fill it with ice and enjoy. A cold, refreshing glass of water before a meal can keep you from overindulging. And it's always important to stay hydrated while you exercise.
When to Say When
We've all heard that five small meals a day is better for your body, but why? When you go too long in between meals, your body goes into survival mode, which means you start to store fat. Eating five smaller meals keeps your blood sugar constant, controls your hunger better and keeps your energy soaring all day long. Be sure each mini-meal contains a lean or low-fat protein, a little whole grain fiber, fruits or veggies and a small amount of healthy fat like olive oil, nuts or fatty fish.
Chew on This
Something as simple as how quickly you eat can really make a big impact in your healthy living goals. It's really not a race. When you take a moment to chew more slowly, you can really savor your food. Rest your fork in between bites. When you eat more slowly, not only does it help your digestion, but it also gives your brain a chance to catch up with your stomach so you can fully notice those tummy cues telling you you're full. The clean plate club is a thing of the past. You can always save your leftovers for next-day's lunch or for a little snack.
Shake up Your Routine
Exercise is key not only for weight loss, but for better living. Even a little exercise can leave you feeling more energized and your body feeling more relaxed. The important thing is to choose something you like and stick with it. But to really see the best results, it's also important to vary your routine. Just like your mind can get bored watching the same thing over and over again, doing the same routine day after day can make your body become complacent, making it harder to shed those last few pounds. Shake things up and take a new route on your walk. Alternate your walks with yoga and lengthen and strengthen, tighten and tone your muscles. Grab a friend and try an exercise dance class together. Add a little muscle to your routine with hand or ankle weights. Take them on your walk or do a simple circuit while you watch your favorite show.
Sleep on It
Believe it or not, not getting your ZZZ's can lead to weight gain. Your body creates a delicate balance of hormones that signal when you're hungry and when you're not. When you get a good night's sleep, your body keeps the "I'm hungry" hormones in check by producing more of the "I'm full" hormones. Sleep-deprived bodies crave fuel to keep going, which is why when we're tired, we might reach for less than healthy, high-carb options with lots of waist-expanding calories and little nutrition. To fall into a deeper sleep, avoid caffeine from late afternoon on. Your dreams of better sleep and a slimmer you will be better realized when you've bypassed the caffeine buzz.
Enlist a Friend
Having a cheerleader and weight-conscious buddy (or even your hubby) make the healthy lifestyle switch with you can boost the success rate for both of you. It's much easier to be motivated to exercise and eat smart when you're not the only one doing it.

The Hidden Door bar faces closing its doors for 40 days or a fine of up to $12,000 for Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission violations.
Bill Loveless, an employee for almost nine years, filed a complaint with the TABC after a bar fight with another employee on Dec. 9 ended with a trip to the emergency room and him needing 12 staples in his head.
Loveless had argued with the employee, Mark Kirby, before and said Kirby caused trouble. But that night the two went beyond words and began fighting. Kirby took a glass beer mug and repeatedly beat Loveless over the head with it, according to a Dallas police report.
Kirby was later arrested for aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
When the bar's owner, Tony Bobrow, wouldn't pay Loveless' medical bills or report the incident to TABC, he hired an attorney and filed paperwork. He was then fired in February after the bar received the paperwork.
Bobrow did not return calls seeking comment.
The TABC started the investigation in March and concluded in mid-April that the bar was in violation for an aggravated breach and failure to report the incident.
Carolyn Beck, spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, said an aggravated breach is an incident that involves a shooting, a stabbing or a fight that causes serous bodily injury and results from action on behalf of the bar, like a fight among employees, or inaction from the bar, such as not breaking up a fight before it becomes serious.

Carnegie Public Library's Summer Reading Program, "One World, Many Stories," has once again come to an end and was a complete success this year. We would like to thank the following local businesses for their generosity: The Bank of Las Vegas, who sponsored this year's event, Alta Vista Regional Hospital, Charlie's Spic & Span, El Rialto Restaurant and Abraham's Tiendita, Fort Union National Monument, Holiday Inn, Lesperance Dairy Queen, Sonic Drive-In, Subway, Tome on the Range and Wendy's.
It was an information-packed meeting Wednesday, when city officials and consultants presented their preliminary study and recommendations for Las Vegas to tackle its water problems.
The bottom line: It's going to cost. A lot.
No surprise there. Everyone should know by now that the city is too heavily dependent on the Gallinas River for its water supply, that our reservoirs are badly in need of repair, and that our water lines are leaking like sieves. No one said it would be cheap to address any of these problems.
When I was a kid, I think I was dyslexic, only I didn't know it. I don't think anybody knew it. Years later, when I was in my 20s, my mother figured it out. She learned what dyslexia is, and remembered how I would read words backwards.
I didn't become much of a reader until I quit college at age 20.
On Monday, July 4, Tom McDonald wrote an editorial in the Las Vegas Optic entitled "The Better Side of the U.S.A." He wrote it from that angle. There is a downside to the U.S.A., the "Declaration of Independence" and the Constitution. Both documents were written by ruthless, racist, sexist, property-owning, slave-owning, colonizing, annihilating, white men.
THUMBS DOWN - INADEQUATE RESULTS. Nearly 87 percent of New Mexico's schools — including all but two in San Miguel County, and just one in Mora County — failed to meet federal adequate-yearly-progress standards during the last school year. Such dismal results motivated the state Public Education Department to announce plans to replace the system, if the feds allow it, with a state plan to grade schools A through F instead of with the pass-or-fail approach currently being used.
By Sara Welsch
Well, we've come full circle. Five years ago, Bill Richardson's administration was asked for state e-mails about an audit of the driver's license program. It refused, claiming executive privilege, and the Republican Party of New Mexico filed suit.
What's the opposite of smart growth? Dumb development. And Las Vegas got yet more of it (recently). Workers chopped down several mature piñon trees on a peripheral New Mexico Highlands University parking lot.

Allen Iverson's first signature shoe, the Question, is a product of its time, in more ways than one. While the heavily cushioned, rounded design is a clear example of the shift in the default basketball shoe aesthetic that occurred in the mid 90s, the Question is also the product of a time when the hype around sneakers wasn't associated with how many pairs were made, or what designer's name was attached to it.
The Question became a fan favorite because of its associations with the incredible physical feats Allen Iverson pulled off on the basketball court. This model features a reissue of the original white, red, and blue colorway from Allen Iverson's remarkable 1996-97 rookie season.

Well-known by professionals as an invigorating rub that quickly stimulates circulation to help relieve sore muscles, tendons, and joints. Bigeloil® Liniment features a pleasant scent and a more moderate sensation than our Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment.
Our story begins with a deep love of horses. In fact, very few people have understood and appreciated the importance of horses like Absorbine® founder Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife, Mary Ida. They knew that without the horse, America would be a very different place.
So in 1892, Wilbur and Mary Ida decided to dedicate themselves to helping keep horses as healthy as possible. Working together, they developed a natural formula of herbs and essential oils that became Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment.
More than 120 years later, our line of products has grown considerably. But we haven't forgotten our roots. Which is why we remain committed to offering horse care products of only the highest quality.
Absorbine® has come a long way. But Wilbur and Mary Ida's spirits will always be a part of our bloodline.

The Australian researchers suggest the female foetus could produce a substance that could worsen their mother's asthma.
The research was presented to the American Thoracic Society conference in Orlando, Florida.
The conference also heard that pregnant women who eat oily fish may protect their babies from developing asthma.
Breathing problems
Scientists from the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, Australia followed 118 pregnant women with asthma.
It was found that almost two thirds of asthmatic women who were pregnant with a male foetus were symptom-free throughout their pregnancy.
However, while 61% of asthmatic women pregnant with a female foetus were symptom-free at 18 weeks, by 30 weeks only 28% had no symptoms.
Night-time symptoms increased significantly from 18 to 30 weeks in women pregnant with a female foetus. Those carrying boys had no night-time breathing problems.
Women with female foetuses also used inhaled steroids more as the pregnancy progressed. Use of medication did not change in those pregnant with boys.
Researchers say that the reason for the difference is unknown.
But they say it could be that the female foetus may produce a substance in response to the inflammation of the asthmatic mother's airways that somehow worsens the asthma.
A spokeswoman for Asthma UK told BBC News Online: "We know that in about one third of pregnancies, asthma symptoms can worsen.
"We don't yet understand the mechanisms involved but this study is one of many that have suggested an association between asthma and hormone levels.
"What is important is that pregnant women with asthma continue to control their symptoms effectively, and if symptoms do get worse they visit their GP."
Fish sticks
In a separate study, US researchers told the conference pregnant women who eat oily fish, such as salmon and trout, may help protect their children against developing asthma.
The team from University of Southern California, Los Angeles looked at five-year-olds studied as part of the Children's Health Study and interviewed their mothers about their pregnancy diet.
They found that the children of asthmatic women who ate fish such as salmon and trout during their pregnancy were, on average, 71% were less likely to develop asthma themselves than those whose mothers did not.
The more fish the women ate, the less likely her child was to develop asthma.
The finding follows earlier studies which showed eating oily fish could reduce a person's asthmatic symptoms.
But the California team found children whose mother ate fish fingers during pregnancy may be at increased risk of developing asthma.
They suggest this could be because fish fingers are deep-fried and contain omega-6 fatty acids, which encourage inflammation of the airways,
Professor Frank Gilliland, who led the research, said: "Oily fish contain omega-3 fatty acids, which appear to be anti-inflammatory, and lead to the reduced potential for developing asthma and allergies."
He added; "A family history of asthma is a very strong risk factor for a child developing asthma.
"It appears that oily fish interacts with the genes involved in the predisposition to develop asthma, and somehow reduces the risk."
Asthma UK said there was increasing evidence that how a child's immune system developed in the womb was a key factor influencing whether or not they went on to develop asthma.
The spokeswoman said: "The mother's diet and the nutrients passed to the growing baby are likely to play an important role in this process .
"This study begins to tease out some of the dietary factors that may be important."
Dr John Harvey of the British Thoracic Society said: "We have known for some time that eating oily fish can bring health benefits such as protection from heart disease, arthritis, psoriasis and dementia as well as helping to protect adults from asthma."

Oops: Footage of Iranian Repression Turns Out To Be Just Another Day in Honduras
Hey will you check out this brutal image of police repression in Iran? It is very terrifying, yet strangely inspiring, what with the brave idealistic kids facing down the armed goons of dictatorship.
When it ran on the France 2 teevee channel last it was meant to document the widespread human rights abuses carried out by the Baseej at the behest of an illegitimate government only.. haha oops. Turns out the picture is from Honduras, and the abuses carried out against the idealistic kids are coming from our new Central American allies. Awkward. Anyway the point is there's nothing to look at here folks, carry on.

Small caution, folks. Perhaps there is more than one Henry born around 1856, with mother Mary.
I found some records for Hellingly workhouse for Mary Baldy (daughter of Edmund and Elizabeth) who had a son Thomas sometime around April, 1855. She was admitted again several times over the next two years or three years - a typical entry in the workhouse admissions book read: "can't maintain her b*****d".

Statement on Fair Use
The limited use of copyrighted material in this work is allowed under the fair use exception because it is at once commentary, criticism, research, and scholarship. Further, my work meets or exceeds all four factors of analysis used by the U.S. Supreme Court to determine cases of fair use:
- The purpose and character of my work is to achieve knowledge within the arts and additional scholarly fields.
- The previously published copyrighted works were used because they depict historical events.
- The amount of each film used in my work is limited to just a few seconds, enough to reference the film itself for the purpose of criticism.
- Finally, the effect of my work on potential markets is the most telling. Because my work depicts such a small amount of each film, viewers would have to purchase or rent the original to appreciate the entire narrative. Therefor my work has the potential to increase the attention, appreciation, and thus profit, of the original works, not the opposite as any copyright holder would have to demonstrate.

Very nice
I like these two units very much. I have them on the inside of my Pantry Door and they fit perfectly. They should be painted - we went with white. The dowels seem a bit flimsy but we don't have children in the house - so I don't think that will be a problem. I particularly like the way I can easily find my spices now, instead of digging through the kitchen cabinet. Very nice product.Read More
Wood spcie racks
The spice racks are nice for the price and the fact they are real wood. They have to be primed and painted but, again, the price is good even with having to do this extra prep. The only negative is the tiny dowel rods that are meant to hold the spice bottles in place. I can see those becoming damaged as the product is used.Read More
solid pine spice racks
The spice racks were just wonderful! It is so difficult to find spice racks "WITHOUT" spices already in them. The height was great and made the fit of the spices easy to store. What a joy to be able to manipulate the many spices all together. Very good buy! I highly recomend them!Read More

AC Milan vs Sampdoria Live
Available on 10 channels inside the members area!!!
AC Milan will be without their top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic when they take on Sampdoria in what could prove to be a crucial game in the race for the Serie A title on Saturday. Catch all the live football feeds from that game by signing up with us here on Live Sport Network.
The Rossoneri managed to hold on to their place at the top of the league table with a hard fought victory over Fiorentina last weekend.
Goals from Clarence Seedorf and Pato had put Milan two goals ahead by the half time but Fiorentina threatened a comeback in the second half with Juan Vargas reducing the deficit before Ibrahimovic was sent off.
However Milan managed to hold on to their slender lead to collect three vital points that sees them maintain their lead at the top of the table. Massimiliano Allegri was pleased with his side's display against the Viola and will be confident of repeating the result this weekend against a struggling Sampdoria side.
The Blucerchiati are without a league win in their last eight games and after hitting the highs of Champions League qualification last season, Sampdoria find themselves in real danger of getting relegated with the club just one point above the drop zone. Watch AC Milan vs Sampdoria live online on Live Sport Network, the leading source to watch live Serie A action on the web.

BILLABONG FLOW LEAGUE 2012 (FLOWBARREL) FINALS The Billabong Flow League 2012 concluded in style with the top four teams giving their all in an epic showdown of grits and valor. Warming up the crowd in the first rounds were Team I Am versus Team Outlaw Ratz. Captain Arthur Kor wobbled on his run against high flyer Fariz who took advantage of Arthur's wipe outs and emerged with a slight margin to his team mates jubilation. With mounting pressure on Takin's shoulder, he pulled off his standard array of moves against Sunny. Now we have to mention he is especially proud of his new found mobility on the fire hydrant. The subsequent conservative play from the Outlaw Ratz did little to impress the judges who gave the round to Team I Am.
The intensity were raised higher in the following round when Team Flow Dolls went up against Team Cheeky Mangoes. Captain Alfian put up an impressive fight against fellow Billabong rider Ili Lim and raised a slight margin over her right from the beginning. The Flow Dolls retaliated strongly and were hopeful of overtaking the mangoes who were experiencing a series of wipe out much to the Flow Dolls delight. Roszainy took a huge leap forward with a solid display of shuvits, snaps and olie 180. A huge debate between the riders and judges ensued following a last run of bodyboarders from both camps. The round was eventually won by the Cheeky Mangoes despite promising efforts from the Flow Dolls due to the margins created through Alfian and Roszainy's runs against Ili and PY.
Meeting up in the finals were Team I Am and Cheeky Mangoes who just one week ago had outshone their rival in the Billabong Flow League #5. Captain Alfian fumbled in his strapless run with 2 wipe outs and 1 too many in the strapped run. Arthur took advantage of Alfian's weak run and hammered in 4 solid airs to secure the first battle. There was an obvious chain effect down the line of Cheeky Mangoes as Team I Am 'out-flow' them in the subsequent run. Due to an injury, Rendi Rastafari sat out of the bodyboard run having being replaced by Alfian. Despite a spirited attempt by Alfian, seasoned bodyboarder Vincent Aung proved too hard to overcome.
The Billabong Flow League 2012 Finals have the following result:
Champion: I Am
2nd Place: Cheeky Mangoes
3rd Place: Outlaw Ratz
Winners of the Weekly Challenge:
#1: Rendi Rastafari (Bodyboarder)
#2: Takin Arakawa (Advance Flowboarder)
#3: Leanna Crowley (Amateur Flowboarder)
#4: Roszainy (Amateur Flowboarder)
#5: Bernard (Beginner Flowboarder)
#6: Fariz (Expert Flowboarder)
The Billabong Flow League 2012 was proudly brought to you by Billabong and Wave House Sentosa.
Riders, may the Flow be with you!

House Republicans passed John Boehner's DOA Plan B 215-209-1, but what is important is how Republicans tried to fool America into cutting taxes for millionaires by throwing 300,000 kids off food stamps.
Before the House could even vote, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, let them know that it didn't matter what they passed because the Senate would not be voting on it. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called Plan B an exercise in futility, "Plan B, which is the only thing the House of Representatives, the Republicans in the House, are focused on right now is a multi-day exercise in futility at a time when we do not have the luxury of exercises in futility. The Speaker and his lieutenants have spent days trying to twist arms and wrangle votes within their own conference. It's an exercise in Republican vote counting that will not result in anything for the American people. It cannot pass the Senate. The President would veto it if it got to his desk."
House Republicans knew their bill was going nowhere, but they engaged in what amounted to a day long temper tantrum/publicity stunt that was designed to sell the same ideas that have failed to pass at least twice before.

Copenhagen (AFP) Jan 4, 2007
The Danish government wants to introduce bio-ethanol in petrol and diesel by the end of 2007, a spokesman for the ruling Liberal Party told Danish television TV2 News on Thursday. The plan is part of the centre-right government's long-term energy strategy for 2025 due to be presented soon.
The government plans to add two percent bio-ethanol to petrol and diesel by the end of the year, before raising the level to six percent in 2010, according to the Liberal Party spokesman on energy issues, Lars Christian Lilleholt.
"The goal is to make Denmark more 'green' and to adapt our transport sector progressively, reasonably and in a financially profitable way so that it uses more bio-fuels," he said.
The increased use of bio-ethanol will enable Denmark to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, in particular from politically unstable regions, and to pursue other alternatives, such as wind power, a field where Denmark is a world leader.
The transport sector accounts for 60 percent of the petrol used in Denmark. The country is self-sufficient owing to its oil reserves in the North Sea, but "there will come a day when that will no longer be the case," Lilleholt said.
The Danish government had until now been opposed to the use of first generation bio-ethanol, arguing that the environmental benefits were limited and preferring to wait for the second generation of bio-ethanol currently under development.

Russia To Build Large Gas Pipelines To China
Beijing, China (XNA) Jan 05, 2007
Russia will build two large gas pipelines to China within five years, it was announced yesterday. The two countries will also continue a feasibility study on extending a Siberia-Pacific coast oil pipeline to China. The high-profile energy deals were announced after nearly two hours of talks between President Hu Jintao and his visiting Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax Set Free
Posted on Dec 27, 2005
Why is it not bigger news that those infamous Iraqi female scientists once routinely referred to in the media as "Dr. Germ" and "Mrs. Anthrax" have been quietly released from imprisonment in Iraq without any charges being brought by their U.S. captors? Don't the newspapers and TV networks that all but pre-convicted them of crimes against humanity owe them—and us—the courtesy of an explanation for the sudden presumption of their innocence?
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Yet, when Rihab "Dr. Germ" Taha and Huda "Mrs. Anthrax" Ammash, both of whom were once on a Pentagon most-wanted list, were released after two-and-a-half years, their U.S. captors didn't even announce it. When questioned afterward as to why no war crimes charges had been brought against the pair, U.S. commander Gen. George Casey said in a joint statement with the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, that they "no longer posed a security threat to the people of Iraq and to the Coalition forces." U.S. forces "therefore, had no legal basis to hold them any longer."
Nor was the acknowledgement that the two Iraqis were still presumed innocent deemed worthy of comment by the very news outlets that had previously reduced them to cartoon-character villains, with only slim wire reports generally announcing the news.
No editorials apologized for the publication in major American media outlets of wild and unattributed charges against them - including the gruesome accusation that deadly weapons had been tested on Abu Ghraib prisoners under Hussein. NBC had bluntly called Taha typical of a "new breed of third world weapons designers ... willing to violate any international norms or scientific ethics," while Judith Miller in The New York Times referred to her as "Dr. Death," based on the testimony of a disgruntled former co-worker of hers then in the "protective custody" of known false-intelligence pusher Ahmed Chalabi.

The fact is, all of the top scientists in Iraq consistently told first U.N. and then U.S. inspectors before and after the invasion that Iraq, hobbled by inspections and sanctions, had no functioning WMD programs or usable WMDs in recent years. This squared with what the U.N. inspectors, as well as former U.N. inspector and U.S. Marine Scott Ritter and the most informed voices inside the U.S. intelligence community, were saying before the invasion.
In other words, while nobody doubted that Hussein, a regional bully, longed to have WMDs such as those developed and stockpiled by the United States, the best experts and inspectors believed he didn't possess them. Unfortunately, the mass media, cowed by post-Sept. 11 jingoism, showed no stomach for fact-checking the White House's war propaganda, instead proving alarmingly pliant in simply passing along a distorted portrait that transformed a run-down and hamstrung autocracy into a world-threatening juggernaut. The media still struggle to make themselves accountable.
One notable exception this past week was an online report by Newsweek reporter Melinda Liu, who had interviewed Ammash when Hussein was still in power, and now is reexamining a widespread faith in U.S. government sources. "When Saddam was still in power, most of us journalists reporting in Iraq simply assumed it was impossible to get a straight story out of his officials," Liu wrote. "Now we know Saddam's aides weren't the only ones spinning the truth. It's hard to know what to believe anymore."
In the end, this disgracing of the model of a free media in a free society will turn out to be the greatest cost of the invasion. We regularly hector the world as to the virtues of a government held accountable by a free press and yet routinely mock that ideal with media that often act as nothing more than a conveyor belt for government propaganda.

Alas, not all those doubly equipped with X-chromosomes are so pacific, either. Take Dame «TINA» Thatcher or Mme «we think it is worth it» Albright, as examples. It seems that in judging people, more must be examined than merely their chromosomes….
On the subject of sources on Iraq, readers might be interested in subscribing to uruk.info at http://www.uruknet.info/. An excellent way, I presume, to get oneself registered by one or another of Mr Bush's favourite organs….

Indeed, bearers of the defective second X are prone to many things, including of course those caused by testosterone poisoning, such as starting and prolonging wars.

"why is Dr Huda Sali Mahdi Ammash to be known as «Mrs Anthrax», while Judith Miller is known simply as «Judith Miller»....is there any distinction which indicates that one merits a sobriquet and the other not ?"
Excellent question!
"a Y-chromosome examination"
A Y-chromosome examination would conclude nothing whatsoever in this case. Neither Dr. Huda nor Judith Miller has a Y chromosome.
By M Henri Day, January 2, 2006 at 9:28 am Link to this comment
Again, why is Dr Huda Sali Mahdi Ammash to be known as «Mrs Anthrax», while Judith Miller is known simply as «Judith Miller». Aside from the fact that the former is more highly educated than the latter, is there any distinction which indicates that one merits a sobriquet and the other not ? Surely not ethnic origin (which a Y-chromosome examination might well conclude doesn't differ so very greatly after all) ?...
By der_Alte, January 1, 2006 at 11:26 am Link to this comment
Ironies abound. While Mrs. Anthrax is evidently a respectible lady, US educated etc, we must pause to reflect so was Judith Miller. Let's leave the gender issue out of it. One was a lying sycophant, maybe the other one was too.

"I thought that they way they were released was pretty obviously part of some sort of deal with the insurgents..."
I am not so sure. Neither Dr. Huda nor Dr. Rihab has anything at all to do with the "insurgents", nor are they to any degree "Saddam loyalists".

Robert Scheer:
delighted to become aware of this great site. A link is going in my "First Recourse" group of headline hunters! If you hadn't been expelled from the LAT I might never have found it.
In this piece, you've summed up the tragedy, pungent with the taste of wormwood that is so appropriate in this age. Not much I can add, beyond a few tears.
thanks for the succinct paragraph, that says so well what I have recited less well to everybody that tells me how much Bush has done for Iraqi women!
It's going in my PDA unedited.

I thought that they way they were released was pretty obviously part of some sort of deal with the "insurgents", possibly for a no-violence during the elections pledge.

"the insurgents (whom he describes as mostly dedicated Saddam loyalists, not foreign fighters)."
With all due respect to your Kurdish friend, the claim that the so-called "insurgents" (a misnomer to be sure) are mostly "dedicated Saddam loyalists" is as nonsensical as is the claim that they are mostly "foreign fighters".
"He was very upset that, as a part of hidden deal-making (which Seymour Hersh has also described), the U.S. would free these two, who are guilty of many barbaric crimes, including experiments on live human captives—shades of Dr. Mengele."
What evidence does he - or anyone else for that matter - have that either of the women are guilty of anything at all other than being affiliated in some way with Saddam's regime? The answer is none. Everything he has said is pure rumour and speculation and nothing more.

Thank you Robert for giving me hope that more Americans will listen when told the truth of what is going on in my country. I was desperate thinking Americans are more interested in what the American media tell them than seeking truth of what their goverment is doing in Iraq.
By M Henri Day, December 29, 2005 at 5:08 am Link to this comment
Alas, Mr Scheer, for whose work I have great respect, here contributes to the very same phenomenon he deplores. While the article as a whole makes clear that these so-called «nicknames» have nothing to do with those who were forced to bear them in the US media, the fact that they are repeated in the headline - without even scare quotes to warn the reader - reinforces them. Considering that research shows that many readers read only the headlines - hopefully, this practice is less widespread among readers of truthdig than among those who read only the so-called «mainstream media» - I find this deeply problematic. Drs Rita Taha and Huda Sali Mahdi Ammash deserve better. The use of epithets of this type to denigrate and demonise persons must be condemned, both when it occurs in the «mainstream media» and when it occurs in more serious, less corporate-influenced media like truthdig. The only acceptable exceptions to the complete elimination of this practice that I can think of offhand, in the interest of poetic justice, are references to «Dubya» and «Turdblossom»....

"No stomach" is so true. There were probably negative consequences for the few courageous journalists who did try to report the truth. Arguably, the corruption, dishonor and discrediting of the free media model in a free society (that happens to be the worlds superpower) is ultimately the greatest cost of the fraudulent Iraq invasion. Certainly what happened to Iraq (mass death, mass destruction, chaos, resource plundering, etc.) is beyond horrific. However, in the big picture the lack of trustworthy media and other public information sources opens the door to more and larger misadventures down the road.
Iraq was not the first perversion of the free media (e.g., remember Reagans propaganda against Nicaragua in the mid 1980s?), and is unlikely to be the last. Although the Iraq fiasco made many people temporarily conscious of how easily government and certain groups can manipulate the media, the power of their public relations and propaganda machine is likely to overcome this blip eventually. Already the machine is hard at work against Iran and Syria.
There is a need for new mainstream media sources that are truly free and trustworthy. It doesnt matter if it is a potpourri of liberal, conservative and Martian writers, as long as its not tainted information. Perhaps with the help of hands off investors, Robert Scheer and other honest journalists will fill that void as Truthdig, etc. grows.

The mainstream media has no excuse for not getting the stories right. There were many red flags raised about Bush/Blair claims regarding the Saddam regimes biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. For example, Cambridge Universitys Glen Rangwala evaluated these claims before and after the Iraq invasion (see section on bioological weapons in first link at least):
I am in favor of prosecuting those who commit war crimes, as long as the international laws are applied universally. If Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax are prosecuted for fictitious biological weapons, it brings up the question of those scientists who developed the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I am never surprised by anything the MSM does or does not do anymore. Disappointed, but not suprised. MoveOn.org attempted to present the CEO of the Tribune Holdings with petitions, some 40,000 I believe it was, signed by subscribers of the LATimes at it's shareholders meeting last month. He refused to take them, tho an aide later did. I watched to see what would happen. Nothing. Not a peep in the LA Times about it, tho I'm not surprised. Newspapers are about making money, not through sales of papers, but rather advertising. So anything that sells the papers therefore sells advertising.
I notice that the LATimes is using more and more the AP and UP newsbites as news. One or two indepth stories by a couple of writers a couple of times a year is plenty and makes a hell of a lot more money for the CEO and his shareholders.
Ramirez was supposed to have been let go at the same time Robert was but I still see people complaining about his neo-con take on events. So what happened to a "more balanced" approach to the news. And, as in the release of these two "war criminal's" release that means ignoring it because it just points to the inequaty of how the "news" is presented. Murdoch may run Fox with an iron fist, but that does not mean that most of the rest of the MSM isn't controlled just as tightly by other people who do not have this country's well-being in mind. Profit comes first.
Many years ago when I was growing up there were people like Howard K Smith and Edward R Murrow who predicted todays plight with the MSM and everyone laughed and said no way! Well,...way!
If what we read here about the situation with our government and the media, and yes, the citizens of this country, was taking place in another country we would shake our heads and wonder what the people were doing? What could they be thinking? Why didn't they revolt? How could they allow this to happen?
It is not an accident that the Republicans keep cutting funds to education and student loans and the cost of tuition keeps rapidly climbing. If you can't read, you have to rely on what you hear and see on TV. If TV lies or just doesn't tell you about it thenhow can you do it. And if you can read, well, they aren't going to tell you about it. Sensationalism, Tom Cruise, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and their petty lives seem to interest people more than how our elected officials take bribes and do the bidding of lobbyists and act against our interests and freedoms. If a President violates the Constitution and you have never studied it, how will you know it exists or that he and members of the government have broken it's laws?
The signs that this country is headed for a train wreck has been there for a long time. When only 22% of your high school graduates are capable of doing college work then something is very wrong.
It means that not only can you not compete with the rest of the world in science and technology, it also means that as surely as we breathe, the corporations that run our government and our media have relegated this countries citizens to the soon to be cheap labor pool. Let illegal immigrants lower the working wage of skilled jobs and then force the rest of us to work for that same wage in order to compete with the illegal immigrants or..or..what, immigrate to another country? It's time for us to start taking our country back before it is too late. We need a viable third party. Ralph Nader was completely correct when he said there is little, if any difference between the two party's. On is tax and spend and the other is cut taxes and spend. And the Democratic leadership says that they have to be more like the Republicans to win. Maybe we'll get liberated by some other country soon before Bush and his friends totally bankrupt us and move to the South of France or Saudia Arabia.
All those for impeachment now, raise the middle finger of their right paw and repeat after me, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!"

A Kurdish friend of mine from northern Iraq broke the news of their release to me—in the context of describing secret negotions between the U.S. and the insurgents (whom he describes as mostly dedicated Saddam loyalists, not foreign fighters). He was very upset that, as a part of hidden deal-making (which Seymour Hersh has also described), the U.S. would free these two, who are guilty of many barbaric crimes, including experiments on live human captives—shades of Dr. Mengele.
I appreciate Mr. Sheer's article, which shines a light on the moral cowardice of the propaganda media. However, it seems there's a bit more going on beyond the news media failings.

I agree with Mr. Scheer and am so grateful for this site and others who have to go to great lengths to find and bring us the "real" news. Everyone who has a computer has access to the truth, but there are millions who cannot afford that source. Yes, in the long run, one of the greatest costs of the invasion may be the disgracing of the free media model - our country needs the truth in plain sight, before everyone's eyes, in order for our democracy to be healthy. And that ideal has been slipping away for many decades now.

"I totally remember the news reports about Taha, I actually wondered what happened to him…"
This particular "Taha" happens to be a woman - Dr. Rihab Taha - not a man. Taha is her family name.
Throughout Iraq's history, in the days before "liberation" (and also before Saddam Hussein), an Iraqi girl could grow up to be a doctor, a dentist, a scientist, a university professor, a lawyer, an engineer, an architect, etc., on the same basis as an Iraqi boy could. Thanks to George Bush Iraqi women are being catapulted back five or six centuries to a position and a life deprived of freedoms and rights we have always taken for granted.
Thanks America!

I was with you until your dramatic and overstated conclusion that the greatest cost of the invasion will be the disgracing of the media. How can that overshadow the thousands of people that lost their lives, the widespread destruction of a country, and the many billions of dollars spent.
The disgrace of the media is not a cost—perhaps the opposite. Our eyes are now opened a bit more as to how easily our government manipulates our media.

I totally remember the news reports about Taha, I actually wondered what happened to him a couple weeks ago and was sure he was known guilty, from the news reports at the time. I'm more amazed at how much I've accepted from news reports even when I thought I was keeping a critical mind than I am at his being now apparently innocent.

Hi, Mr. Scheer
I miss you at the Los Angeles Times but I don't think the paper deserves you, especially under the ownership of the Chicago Tribune. Regarding your commentary, this is the first I've heard of this and that should bring shame upon the mainstream media since I read the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post (Online editions) every day and also watch CNN. This should be a big story that demands an investigative report to look into the matter. If not that, then at least an article notifying readers of this unexpected development

It is difficult to even make a comment in response to Scheer's column today. One reads the facts laid out in this story in a sort of breathless stupor. The invocation of Judith Miller and Ahmed Chalabi as essentially the prosecutor and jailer of the pair of "Dr Deaths" is almost beyond irony.
What I will never get over though, personally, and what I can never forgive myself for, is that it was absurd lies like these that for a nano-second had won me over too. When Powell and Bush both stated inequivocally that Hussein was trying to purchase yellow cake in Niger, in order to make WMD for (eventual) use against us, I believed that the war might be justified.
I am ashamed of that now, but when I read Scheer's story today I am reminded of what a woven nest of lies, errors of judgment and just plain stupidity, as well as nefarious conspiracy, we have been and are being fed daily, not only by the Bush clique but by our main media sources as well. To be honest, I'm not even that thrilled with McNeil/Lehrer anymore and much of the time see them as pandering to the Bush administration as well.
It's distressing; thank goodness Truthdig has reared up when it has. Let's hope for a swarm of Truthdigs in the near future. Perhaps it's time for the mass dailies to die ignominous deaths.

BRAVO. Mr Scheer.
Sir…** Our minds are free and unschackled , even though our press might not be.
(2)Bush used the word "Crusade" shouldnt the top layers of Government that were in attendence, have cringed at the poor judegment of choosing incindiery terminology that would upset our Arab muslim allies and incited our enemies?
(3) Didnt our elected leaders quistion why Saddam would have anything to do with 9/11, a secular Dictator cohabiting with Religous Fundementalists? ..common sense.
I agree with you that the media has a responsibility to provide the pros and cons. However, Anyone reading Judith Millers articles could see that it was a representation of the governments position, to be read and discarded.
Let the public take some responsibility , for the fascist regime that they elected to a second term. The people got what they deserve.Because they didnt care if our bombs dropped on iraqis, they didnt care if our soldeirs died in the name of 'liberating' a foriegn people into death.
But thank God for the few, such as yourself, Mr Scheer, who still have the courage to think with clarity - and the courage to speak out.

There is no profit in telling the truth. The sad part is the press profited from the war as much as anyone. War sells. Controversy over the war sells.

When I was a reporter in Iraq in 2002-2004, I knew some Iraqis who had worked with Huda Ammash before the war. They described her as principled, Western-oriented and openly feminist. Of course, that description doesn't necessarily mean that she was innocent of WMD-related crimes, but her reputation was very clean.

You have to wonder how many other villains from the card deck were released without fanfare. It is amazing to me that we continually hear in the news about security and democracy being the reasons for invading Iraq. The media, with great discipline, avoids the most obvious of all reasons, to secure a military presence in the heart of the worlds oil resources. The administration is filled with individuals with ties to the oil industry. There is no way that this isn't paramount in their minds. It is comical to think the US would have any interest in Iraq (and the greater Middle East) if their sole exports were Persian rugs. As Robert says in his piece, this war was never about WMD.

Unfortunately this lack of coverage of the release (vindication?) of people charged with crimes is all too common. The media is far more interested in the sensational charges made rather than presenting a complete story over time. Interestingly enough, this story got a little more than the usual 2 line entry on page 27 of a newspaper.

Presumed Innocent? Novel idea ... now how about the un-charged (and yet "illegal"), non-POWs (and yet "combatants") rotting in Guantanamo Bay.

Every government spins and lies. But the Bushites have taking spinning to such dizzying heights and lying to such despicable lethal lows… no wonder the formerly unspeakable I-word ~ impeachment ~ is being whispered in the wintry winds..

Grella: Goal counted for little
Mike Grella has admitted his goalscoring home debut for Carlisle was overshadowed by Charlton's late winner.
Last Updated: 25/10/10 5:08pm
Mike Grella has admitted his goalscoring home debut for Carlisle was overshadowed by Charlton's late winner.
Leeds striker Grella, making his second appearance for the Cumbrians following his loan move from Leeds earlier this month, struck in the 58th minute to kickstart Carlisle's dramatic second-half fightback as they came from 3-0 down to draw level with Charlton, only for Paul Benson to head an injury-time winner.
Grella said: "It was really exciting for me to get 90 minutes, especially with a group of players that I get on with so well.
"It was a really good experience but obviously the result puts a shadow over everything.
"It was definitely a mountain to climb because it's never easy to come back from 3-0 down. We dug in and we thought we'd pulled the result round, and it's a real shame with the way it turned out for us. I thought we deserved to win the match with the shift we put in after the break.
"It was good for me to get the goal. There's a lot of emphasis placed on scoring, but for me it's more important that the team wins. If you get a goal to help that, it's great, but the all-round performance is the main thing."

Korolev - Jan 21, 2004
A Zenith 3SL Integrated Launch Vehicle (ILV) was launched earlier this month on January 11th at 04:13 UTC from the floating Odyssey Launch Platform (LP) of the Sea Launch Rocket and Space Complex located in the Pacific Ocean in the equator area at 154 ¿W.
The task of the launch that became the first one in the year 2004 of all the spacecraft launches from Earth launch sites, planned for this year is to deliver the Telstar 14/Estrela do Sul 1 weighing about 4,7 t into a target geostationary transfer orbit with the following parameters: perigee altitude - 760 km, apogee altitude - 35786 km, inclination - 0¿.
The SC insertion into this orbit from the intermediate orbit formed by the two-stage Zenith-2SL Launch Vehicle (LV) was implemented by a DM-SL Upper Stage. Using the first burn of the main engine, performed 10 s after separation of US with SC from the LV second stage, SC was transferred by the Upper Stage into a reference near-Earth orbit with the calculated parameters: perigee altitude - 180 km, apogee altitude - 913 km, inclination - 0¿ . The second burn implemented 35 min. after the completion of the first one provided the SC delivery into the target geotransfer orbit.
The SC separation from the Upper Stage was implemented at 08:19 Moscow Time. It was the 243rd successful flight of DM(D)-type Upper Stages developed and manufactured by RSC Energia.
After the autonomous transfer to the orbital position in the geostationary orbit (63¿ W) SC will begin its operation on providing the Brazilian users with satellite communications, as well as with Internet-services the users available in air planes above the American continent territory and the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Launches from the sea-based cosmodrome are implemented by the Sea Launch international joint-stock company whose shareholders are: American Boeing Company (40% of the authorized capital), Russian Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (25%), Norwegian Kvaerner Invest Norge AS (20%) and Ukrainian aerospace enterprises - Production Association (PO) Yuzhmashzavod (10%) and Yangel State Design Bureau Yuzhnoye (5%).
Korolev RSC Energia in the Sea Launch project is the prime enterprise for its Rocket Segment as a whole, bears responsibility for outfitting and integration of this Segment into the Rocket and Space Complex, providing together with the cooperation of Russian and Ukrainian enterprises the development, manufacturing and operation of the DM-SL US as the third stage of the Zenith-3SL ILV.
Pre-launch operations and launch were controlled from the Control Center aboard the Sea Launch Commander Assembly-Command Ship (ACS). The pre-launch operations started 6 h prior to the launch were performed in the automatic mode. 3 h prior to the launch all specialists involved in the pre-launch operations and the LP crew were evacuated by a helicopter to ACS located 6,5 km away from the Odyssey platform.
Operations on pre-launch operations and launch from the Odyssey LP on the launch site were performed under the guidance of Sea Launch Company Mission Director D. Dubbs and Rocket Segment Operations Manager, RSC Energia Deputy General Designer V.G. Aliev.
The US+SC flight analysis was made by RSC Energia specialists being members of a dedicated Main Operational Management Group working at the Mission Control Center (MCC-M), Korolev, Moscow Region, and being permanently in contact with the Control Center aboard ACS. Flight Director is Pilot Cosmonaut V.A. Soloviev.
In MCC-M control hall during pre-launch operations and launch were present President, General Designer Academician Yu.P. Semenov, his deputies, other managers and specialists of the Corporation and subcontractors.
After the SC separation form US Yu.P. Semenov congratulated via telephone on a successful launch Rocket Segment Operations Manager V.G, Aliev, RSC Energia specialists and the entire ACS and LP personnel.
This launch was the twelfth one implemented under the Sea Launch program. The first one took place on March 27th, 1999, the new one is planned for March, 2004.

Nothing could be more to the point than the statement our Lord makes here. He is engaging in a debate that might be ongoing at this very instant. Our pride argues that we are not slaves-we are not in bondage. Then Jesus tells us candidly, Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin." It is there we choke. Our sin is ever before us-even our secret sin that no other human alive knows about, it haunts us because we know that God knows about this sin. It is the blemish that we cannot remove from our soul.
Only the blood of the Lamb can wash us clean. Only Jesus can free us of the desire to sin.
"Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ." -Blaise Paschal
Prayer, Lord I know your eyes are up on those who do right and your ears are open to their cries for help. Guard me from my sin and help me walk in paths of righteousness.

Don't jump to conclusions: Patil
Syed Amin Jafri in Hyderabad | May 19, 2007 16:53 IST
Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on Saturday said that it was premature to jump to conclusions on the persons or organisations behind Friday's bomb blast at the city's historic Mecca Masjid.
The death toll has mounted to 16, including 11 in the bomb blast and five in the police firings.
After visiting the blast site and the hospital where the injured are being treated, Shivraj Patil said: "We have information and the state government has the information but premature disclosure of information does not help the investigation."
Showing reluctance to identify the organizations from India or outside responsible for the blast in Hyderabad, he said "After investigating the mater fully and comprehensively, if we come to the conclusion that someone else outside the country is responsible, there is no difficulty in saying so but we should not jump to the conclusion."
Patil offered condolences to the members of the bereaved families and the persons who have suffered in this incident, on behalf of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and himself.
"The people have understood the situation correctly. The media has reported this unfortunate incident to the people in the correct manner. The officers have tried to do their duty in the best possible manner. The chief minister, state home minister and their colleagues have been very prompt in taking necessary action to see that this incident did not create any more problems in the city and the state," Patil said.
Patil said: "We have been watching the situation in the country in the country and in the state and trying to do our best to ensure that those who want to use violence do not succeed. Those who want to create problems have their own designs. They are trying to use explosives and weapons and their designs to create the problems."
"One of the things which appear to have been done by them is to attack religious places so that bad blood develops between different communities and spreads to different parts of the state and the country. It is in this respect we have a responsibility and that responsibility is to understand as to why this is being done and we have to act in a manner which is really helpful," he said.
Asked if he saw any pattern in the blast incidents like this at various religious places, he said, "From the attacks that have taken place on the churches, mandirs and masjids, it is obvious that they have deliberately chosen to attack the places of worship in a bid to foment communal trouble and create hatred between different communities. Such attacks have taken place in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, at Jama Masjid in Delhi and now at Mecca Masjid. There seems to be a design. The Malegaon incident is being examined and this case will also be investigated."

Rutgers guard Cappie Pondexter confronted Auriemma after UConn's 67-51 win Tuesday night. Neither commented on what was said during the confrontation.
Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese asked the athletic directors at both schools to talk to their players and coaches and report back to him, a conference spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"He only saw what was on TV," Big East spokeswoman Rachel Margolis said. "He wants their side of the story. We don't want to jump to any conclusions."
Rutgers athletic director Robert Mulcahy said he and UConn AD Jeff Hathaway met with Tranghese on Wednesday in New York during the men's conference tournament.
"The commissioner asked each of us to provide any information we have concerning the matter last night," Mulcahy said in a prepared statement.
In a statement released Wednesday night, Hathaway confirmed that he met with Mulcahy and Tranghese but did not say what happened at the meeting. He also said both schools are gathering information about the alleged incident.
Stringer, Pondexter and Auriemma declined to comment on Wednesday.
Auriemma contends his comments were made to an official regarding what he said was trash-talking by a Rutgers' player in the closing minutes the game.
But, apparently, both Pondexter and Stringer believed Auriemma was yelling at the star guard.
"Any human being would not tolerate comments like that made to anybody," Stringer said in her postgame news conference. "Comments like that should not be loose for just anyone to hear. Coaches say things to our players all the time, but we should never address another player."
Aureimma deflected Stringer's criticism.
"I don't feel like I need to defend myself," Auriemma said after the game. "(Stringer) has no idea what I said. Zero idea what I said. The incident that's in question was never about Cappie."
Auriemma coached Pondexter for two summers on the U.S. Junior team and said he has the utmost respect for her. Pondexter said the respect was mutual, adding that she and the UConn coach have a good relationship.
"We'll work things out," she said after the game.
The Scarlet Knights won the Big East's regular-season crown, but dropped to 0-5 against UConn in the tournament. The Huskies won their 11th tournament title in the last 14 seasons, but their first since 2002.

|FHWA Policy Memorandums - Office of Environment and Planning
ACTION: Alternative Share for Transportation Enhancements
|April 11, 1995
Rodney E. Slater
Associate Administrators
Staff Office Directors
Regional Administrators
Federal Lands Highway Program Administrator
Director, Joint ITS Program Office
I am pleased to announce that under the innovative financing test and evaluation project, TE-045, a nationwide project has been established to allow use of an alternative Federal share for transportation enhancement projects. The purpose of this innovative financing project is to assess whether or not allowing greater flexibility in assembling resources to fund transportation enhancements will remove significant barriers to their advancement and to establish the effects, if any, on how Federal dollars might leverage additional funds.
Since the early days of the ISTEA implementation, we have heard that Federal-aid highway program requirements for matching funds on a project-by-project basis presented a barrier to a significant number of transportation enhancement projects. This message was conveyed at the ISTEA regional roundtables, in the work of FHWA's national performance review team, in several State proposals for the innovative financing test and evaluation project, in numerous pieces of correspondence, and in the program review on the implementation of transportation enhancements. To address this issue we have decided to establish a nationwide project, under the innovative financing initiative, to test and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of providing additional flexibility by permitting States to receive credit for private cash donations, and in-kind contributions.
Under this innovative financing project, States are authorized to use private cash, in-kind contributions, and funds from other Federal agencies as resources on the enhancement project, and thus reduce the total cost incurred on the Federal-aid project. With this authorization, the Federal share, applied to the reduced project cost, could be up to 100 percent on individual projects if a State so chooses.
This new authority applies to all projects and project elements that qualify as transportation enhancement activities under the definition in 23 USC 101 and that are financed with Surface Transportation Program funds. This flexibility is available for all projects obligated on or after the date of this memorandum and continuing until the end of fiscal year 1997.
Our intent is to evaluate the effectiveness of this new approach so that we can recommend appropriate legislative language during the reauthorization process. As States begin using this new flexibility, we would appreciate feedback on the degree to which this approach addresses the matching fund problems associated with transportation enhancements, whether or not there are any lessons learned that would lead us to propose changes to matching requirements for the larger FHWA program, whether or not there are any unforeseen problems associated with this approach, and the extent to which this approach either increases or decreases States' ability in leveraging the Federal dollar. Of particular interest is the extent to which this funding flexibility has affected the obligation of funds in the transportation enhancement setaside.
In allowing the share for Federal-aid funds to increase up to 100 percent, it is not our intent to discourage the use of other resources on transportation enhancements. Indeed, one of the benefits associated with transportation enhancements lies in the variety of governmental and public-private partnerships being formed. At the heart of these partnerships lies mutual commitment. We therefore encourage States to continue to require that all undertakings supported with transportation enhancement funds include a non-FHWA commitment equivalent to at least 20 percent of the value of the transportation enhancement. (This might be less in States with large Federal land holdings operating under sliding scale matching rates). Also, to the extent that non-Federal dollars constitute at least 20% on an aggregate program basis, rather than on a project-by-project basis, a program level match may be an alternative for States to consider.
The project agreements for projects advanced under this flexibility should reference test and evaluation project TE-045 as the basis for the increased Federal share. They also should provide for a State evaluation and report on the results of these tests.
Contact persons for this effort are Mr. Jerry Poston, Chief of the Federal-Aid and Design Division (202) 366-0494, Mr. Max Inman, Chief of the Federal-aid Financial Management Division (202) 366-2853, and Mr. Fred Skaer, Chief of the Environmental Programs Branch (202) 366-2065.

Indian Country Diaries is a two-part series of documentaries that, for the first time, explore the challenges facing Native Americans in the 21st Century, in both urban and reservation settings. In each program, a Native American writer reveals his or her personal struggle with many of these issues and invites you to come along as they seek answers.
Native Americans in Indian Country today wrestle with many questions —
"A Seat at the Drum"
In Part One, "A Seat at the Drum", journalist Mark Anthony Rolo (Bad River Ojibwe) sets out to learn how urban Indians in Los Angeles parallel his own life as they preserve a tribal identity, survive economically and cope with the pressures of a federal relocation program and assimilation in a multicultural metropolis.
"Spiral of Fire"
Part Two, "Spiral of Fire", author LeAnne Howe (Choctaw) journeys to the North Carolina homeland of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and discovers how their fusion of tourism, cultural preservation, and spirituality is working to insure their tribe's vitality in the 21st Century.
This documentary series, produced by an all-Native American crew, offers unique insights into contemporary Indian life. Carol Cornsilk of Adanvdo Vision and Frank Blythe of Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) are executive producers.
