Red Wings prospect news: Marshall, Minnesota lose NCAA title; Coreau stops 50 in Walleye loss
by George Malik on 04/12/14 at 11:00 PM ET

Things did not go as planned for a trio of Red Wings prospects on Saturday, but one player's loss stung like nobody's business.
Defenseman Ben Marshall didn't register a point and finished at -1 as the University of Minnesota lost a 7-4 decision to Union, losing the NCAA Division I championship.
Marshall, a junior who's faithfully listed at 5'9" and 179 pounds, finishe the season with 3 goals and 15 assists for 18 points in 39 games played. He'll return to Minnesota next year....
And in the ECHL, it's probably unlikely that Jared Coreau will play in the Toledo Walleye's 2013-2014 campaign-ending home game against Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon, so Coreau likely played his last pro game of the year as the Walleye lost 4-3 to Fort Wayne in a shootout--but Coreau stopped 50 shots and five of seven shootout shooters.
Coreau and Nedomlel, who finished at -1, are likely to head to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday (the Griffins play in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday afternoon)...
And Coreau will finish the year with all of 1 professional win as the lanky 6'5" goalie has had to re-learn how to catch--after major shoulder surgery--while playing on one of the ECHL's worst teams.
The Walleye's website posted a short recap:
Jared Coreau made a season high 50 saves but Toledo fell 4-3 in a shootout at Fort Wayne Saturday night. Toledo has an overall record of 21-43-4-3 and is 10-21-3-2 on the road.
The Walleye would grab the game's first goal when Brett Perlini slapped a wrist shot in for his 10th goal of the season at 15:32. The Komets would tie the game just 33 seconds later when Brandon Marino slipped a shot past Jared Coreau.
"The game plan tonight was to make them play defense," said Head Coach Dan Watson. "They had us running around in our zone last Sunday and we wanted to turn the tables a bit. We did a good job of that for most of the night; we just didn't make the plays to finish in the shootout."
The Komets would take the lead at 1:57 of the second period when Simon Danis-Pepin sent a blue line shot that snuck through Coreau. Toledo would mount its comeback after the Komets took a 3-1 lead early in the third period. Max Shalunov would score 4:00 minutes into the third period and then again at 19:43 to pull Toledo even at 3. Shalunov has a team leading 18 goals on the season.
Walleye Notes: Goaltender Jared Coreau made 50 saves on 53 shots on goal. Coreau has a record of 1-12-3-3 on the season. Toledo finished the season 1-6-1-1 against the Komets.

He had a quiet, steady game, but he just got deked the fuch out on Union's sixth goal. That was a helluva move and I've seen the great NHL defensemen get beat by it, too.

Fifty yards of sea defences next to the Shore Break cafe in Felixstowe were damaged by strong seas on Saturday.
Suffolk Coastal MP Mr Gummer said he had repeatedly warned the government to provide funding to improve the sea wall or risk disaster.
The government said this year there was a "record budget" for flood defence.
But Mr Gummer said there had not been any money to improve these sea defences at Felixstowe.
New defences were to have been built in Felixstowe earlier this year, but the government announced there was no money for the £10m scheme.
Suffolk Coastal District Council fears 1,600 homes could be at risk because of the failing defences and coastal erosion.
Mr Gummer said: "The government claims it has run out of money. It wrote to Suffolk Coastal District Council to say it would provide 100% of funding and then said it was providing 100% of nothing this year or next.
"I was so concerned I went to see Mrs Beckett (the then environment minister). I warned her if they did not act at once there would be a disaster and that is what has begun to happen."
'Application for funds'
A council spokesman said it would try to build up the defences next week, but these would only be stop-gap measures.
A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "The council (Suffolk Coastal) is likely to apply to Defra for funds to cover the cost of these works and we will consider any application when it is received.
"The condition of the frontage today is not a sudden occurrence and has been deteriorating over a number of years.
"The council has prepared a scheme to replace the sea wall and beach groynes, but this year's record budget for flood and coastal defence is fully allocated to projects which have already made formal applications for funding."

Acts of War
Posted on Jul 29, 2008
By Scott Ritter
The war between the United States and Iran is on. American taxpayer dollars are being used, with the permission of Congress, to fund activities that result in Iranians being killed and wounded, and Iranian property destroyed. This wanton violation of a nation's sovereignty would not be tolerated if the tables were turned and Americans were being subjected to Iranian-funded covert actions that took the lives of Americans, on American soil, and destroyed American property and livelihood. Many Americans remain unaware of what is transpiring abroad in their name. Many of those who are cognizant of these activities are supportive of them, an outgrowth of misguided sentiment which holds Iran accountable for a list of grievances used by the U.S. government to justify the ongoing global war on terror. Iran, we are told, is not just a nation pursuing nuclear weapons, but is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world today.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
The MEK traces its roots back to the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeg. Formed among students and intellectuals, the MEK emerged in the 1960s as a serious threat to the reign of Reza Shah Pahlevi. Facing brutal repression from the Shah's secret police, the SAVAK, the MEK became expert at blending into Iranian society, forming a cellular organizational structure which made it virtually impossible to eradicate. The MEK membership also became adept at gaining access to positions of sensitivity and authority. When the Shah was overthrown in 1978, the MEK played a major role and for a while worked hand in glove with the Islamic Revolution in crafting a post-Shah Iran. In 1979 the MEK had a central role in orchestrating the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and holding 55 Americans hostage for 444 days.
However, relations between the MEK and the Islamic regime in Tehran soured, and after the MEK staged a bloody coup attempt in 1981, all ties were severed and the two sides engaged in a violent civil war. Revolutionary Guard members who were active at that time have acknowledged how difficult it was to fight the MEK. In the end, massive acts of arbitrary arrest, torture and executions were required to break the back of mainstream MEK activity in Iran, although even the Revolutionary Guard today admits the MEK remains active and is virtually impossible to completely eradicate.
It is this stubborn ability to survive and operate inside Iran, at a time when no other intelligence service can establish and maintain a meaningful agent network there, which makes the MEK such an asset to nations such as the United States and Israel. The MEK is able to provide some useful intelligence; however, its overall value as an intelligence resource is negatively impacted by the fact that it is the sole source of human intelligence in Iran. As such, the group has taken to exaggerating and fabricating reports to serve its own political agenda. In this way, there is little to differentiate the MEK from another Middle Eastern expatriate opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress, or INC, which infamously supplied inaccurate intelligence to the United States and other governments and helped influence the U.S. decision to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein. Today, the MEK sees itself in a similar role, providing sole-sourced intelligence to the United States and Israel in an effort to facilitate American military operations against Iran and, eventually, to overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran.

The MEK is behind much of the intelligence being used by the International Atomic Energy Agency in building its case that Iran may be pursuing (or did in fact pursue in the past) a nuclear weapons program. The complexity of the MEK-CIA relationship was recently underscored by the agency's acquisition of a laptop computer allegedly containing numerous secret documents pertaining to an Iranian nuclear weapons program. Much has been made about this computer and its contents. The United States has led the charge against Iran within international diplomatic circles, citing the laptop information as the primary source proving Iran's ongoing involvement in clandestine nuclear weapons activity. Of course, the information on the computer, being derived from questionable sources (i.e., the MEK and the CIA, both sworn enemies of Iran) is controversial and its veracity is questioned by many, including me.

A member of the civilized world, an outstanding member of the international community, a beacon of human rights and democracy, the heart of europe, was accused of genocide by Rwanda.
I am so glad that at least someone is trying to bring criminals to justice.
Does anyone think that there amy actually be a UN security council resolution against Rwanda?
Does Rwanda have a civilian nuclear program thats actually geared towards weaponization?
Do we wanna send in bonker bolton to clean things up?
Maybe one day it will happen here in good old USA and the criminals in the white house, and congress get prosecuted for their crimes.

Ali Mostofi,
Why dont you explain and educate us about the seyyeds:
1- Are they from Mars, Moon, are they aliens from a diferent planet or a country?
2- Where were they born?
3- Are they non-Iranian? Or you consider them non-Iranian?
4- Do you adhere to the idea of a pure race?
This would be a good start if you could just answer the above questions.
By mrmb, August 1, 2008 at 4:25 pm Link to this comment
Ali Mostofi,
I read ur other threads a few times and tried to make sense of what you are saying.
What you say has to make sense. You sorta do. I did a search to double check my facts about Iran. 98% of the population is Muslim (Shiite). The other 2% is divided between various other religons (Suni Muslims, Jews, Christians, Zorastrians).
As we all know the Muslims that disagree with the Islamic Republic's model of governance are broken down into secular and religeous, with their own particular agendas.
How you intend to use that historical fact to undermine the legitimacy of Islam and the Islamic republic is in serious doubt.
Numerous non muslims and a few muslim born scholars have tried that path since the birth of Islam and up to now they have not had any success. That will continue well into the future just as it does with Christianity and other faiths or ideologies.
You may prove to be the sole exclusion to that historical trend.
However, I suggest you get a grip on reality and stop living in the past. The Persian society of 3000 years ago is part of human heritage and civilization and you can read about it in the books. The cultural contributions of the persians to poetry, mathematics, science, philosophy, art, agriculture, governance and etc…. is beyond any doubts.
The question here is not regime change in Iran by the Iranian people. Im sure if thats what the people of Iran really want they will find the way to do it in time. Just the way they got rid of the Shah and his American, British and Israeli supporters.
The question here before us is the duplicitous, hypocritical, criminal policy advocated and implemented by successive American administrations to interefer in the internal afairs of Iran to the detriment of the Iranian people. That needs to stop before we start a war that could potentially lead to WWIII with unforeseen catastrophic consequences for all.
So, having said that, I guess you can preach your religon here or in Iran for as long you wish till you get the results you like. However with all due respect I dont see how Zorastranism can be a force on this planet or for that matter in Iran any time soon.

Look at the Quotes at the bottom of the page.
Richard Perle, USA Pentagon advisor:
"[The USA will] behave, with others, multilaterally when we can and unilaterally as we must."
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, USA ambassador to the United Nations writing in his book, A Dangerous Place:
"The [USA] Department of State desired that the United Nations prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it undertook. This task was given to me and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable success."
George Bush, USA president during the bombing of Iraq:
"What we say goes."
Der Spiegal, news magazine from Germany (1 September 1997):
"Never before in modern history has a country dominated the earth so totally as the United States does today… America is now the Schwarzenegger of international politics: showing off muscles, obtrusive, intimidating… The Americans, in the absence of limits put to them by anybody or anything, act as if they own a kind of blank cheque in their 'McWorld'".
NoControllingLegalAuthority, from a post on a forum about the USA's role in the United Nations:
"The UN is headed for the dust bin of history. It has no moral authority. It is dominated by cowards, scoundrels and thieves. It's participants do not even obey the laws of the city of New York. Many of us are ready to help UN personnel pack and to drive them to the airport for a one-way trip out of our country. Today would not be soon enough. Good riddance to the self-serving human debris."
Reuel Marc, former (USA) CIA covert operator in February 2003:
"The tougher Sharon becomes, the stronger our image will be in the Middle East".

Well said. But they also have a different set of problems.
1- Moral self rightheousness (they wouldnt know morality if it hit them on the head)
2- Dogmatic
3- Ignorant
4- Arrogant
5- Delusional
6- Mental disease that renders them impotent to distinguish between fact and fiction
Should say anymore?

Your commentary is absolutely mind boggling as it makes certain assumptions that are wrong.
1- The first assumption is that our interests in the ME supercedes the interests of the locals. WRONG. Thats an imperial mindset.
2- Second assumption is that Israel is a benevolent state and is there to love and be loved. WRONG. Israel is an imperialist colonialist extension for the control of the ME resources.
3- Third assumption is that you and your neo crazy buddies seem to know for certainty that Iran has a nuclear weapons program where there is no evidence to prove it and Iran does not have to prove a negative.
Iran does not know an explanation to us or to anyone else and as long as they are operating within the legal boundaries of the NPT they are fine. Its actually us and our civilized allies that are a threat to others and who are in violation of the NPT.
4- The fourth assumption is that you and your neo crazy buddies think that the US, Britain, France and Israel constitute the planet, the world, the civilized world, the international community or whatever else you like to use. WRONG.
6- You assume Iran has imperial ambitions and there is no shred of evidence to support that. Your problem is that you are oblivious to historical facts and realities and have no regard for other peoples culture, customs, independence and life style.
There is more but this should suffice.

So we the American People find ourselves prisoners of the economic agenda of corporate interests and their undue influence of our own Country and that of one of our allies. The redress process under the rule of law has done nothing to stem the continuing crimes. This leaves us one option, in fact the powers that be are daring us to. We must now show ourselves to be worthy of the legacy of those who died for our way of life. We must now throw ourselves into the gears of the machine, and die in as many numbers as are needed until the gears stop turning. Damn the martial law, damn the bullets, the prison sentences. We must create a critical mass of direct opposition we must shut down access to congress, to the White house,to Washington DC if necessary. We must do so non-violentently, but with a willingness to die if they try to cart us away or blockade us, literally throwing our bodies on on the machine until there are too many bodies to clean up too many bodies to be imprisoned

Just to make sure the point gets across.
The point is if zionists control the finances of the sole superpower through the Fed and other agencies and institutions then one should slowly begin to undertand the magnitude of the problem facing us.
Didnt king george put war criminal paul wolfy as the president of the world bank?
Should I mention other leading international financial institutions all over the western world that control the purse strings of the planet? Or you can all figure it out on your own?

I think u miss the point. Every state has the right to keep an eye on the military, economic, and political developments of its friends and foes alike.
The US trying to figure out what that objective of the Iranian nuclear program is all fine and dandy.
The problem is that we are not talking about the US government pursuing policies that are in the national interest of the US.
Our polity is zionist occupied territory and hence the key problem we face.
Also, building a case on lies, exaggerations, half truths, deceptions and propaganda to initiate a war of aggression is only acceptable to the ignorant and the fool hardy.
We as citizens of a free country (I no longer ascribe to it as such) who are able to influence the course of actions our government takes have a responsibility to make sure our elected officials understand that we are sick and tired of a bunch of morons and liars (democrat and republican) making promises to us, the public, and then turn around and give us the finger while in power.
The problem is that these monkeys make pledges to us and they make a different pledge to AIPAC and zionists. Guess who is expendible? We the American public and the Iraqis and the Iranians and the Palestinians and ........
They can and will continue to break their pledges to the public but they will never break their pledge of allegiance to Israel and zionists. We the public get upset, frown a bit and then get busy with our daily lives and then turn around and vote for these monkeys again. While the Israelis and zionists get mad and destroy the people that break those pledges.
The influence of the public compared to the influence of the zionists is a joke at best.

tragic but true; both parties in the USA today (reps & dems) are 1; no need to unite; they "claim" differences to put on dog & pony show for "public"; the public is fed FALSE information including what is going on in Isreal per note on yahoogroups; Pakistanian said we are being fed "false pictures" on democracynow.org re Afghanistan & Al Quieda; who are tiny, & have few if any guns; no WMD, no links found in exhaustive search of Al Quieda in Iraq or with Suddam Hussain whom our Gov had decided in 1996 to take out; see Truth Rising on youtube; the media is censored with lies given out which is illegal as it was exactly what was done in Hitler's day; much $ abound at both st & fed levels for ag workers but WE are told no $ & vets left without pay disabled with no $ even to replace limbs; yet ag workers get brand new cars, trucks, money, job preferences, while Corp's running USA with Gov put out the lie all military vets have mental problems so working together they deny Americans the jobs; instead of worrying about war in Iran why not worry about the one in the USA? Congress, special interest groups & Pentagon have been waging war against citizens of USA for years now folks; wake up & smell the coffee!

To Marshall:
Focusing on Iran's nuclear program or its support of Hizbollah as the 'main issues' is like treating the symptoms, rather than the root problem. Iran's support of Hizbollah or Hamas is so it can have leverage and be able to play the role of spoiler, since it is under constant pressure and threat from Israel and the US. If the US were to genuinely engage with Iran, and I bet you they'll make concessions along these lines.
Now just to address a couple of your comments: Who is the 'world' you're referencing? The UN Security Council (i.e., US and Western Europe)? There are hundreds of other developing countries that are fully supporting Iran's right to nuclear technology and this is enlarging an already existing gulf between the haves and have nots and worsening the perceptions of bullying and hypocrisy by the US.
Again, I'm no fan of Iran's regime, but to say it is expansionist is a stretch to say the least!! Who are they trying to invade?? The fact that Iran is trying to influence Iraq should not be a shock. You forget that a million Iranians died when Saddam invaded Iran. Naturally, they want to have influence in a neighbor country that attacked them.
I don't want to see nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran's mullahs either. But first, there is absolutely no evidence they are in fact going after 'weapons', and second, preventing weaponization can be achieved through stringent inspections. I believe Iran wants nuclear technology mostly so it can be taken seriously in the region which is what I was trying to convey in my earlier post.
One last personal comment. I was speaking last weekend to a childhood friend who lives in Iran. He absolutely detests Iran's current government, but he was saying there is a palpable sense in the country of 'rallying around the flag' because of the ongoing threats from the US and Israel and he himself feels the same way. This is not a good sign.
There is no reason to start a disastrous war here. But for God's sake, move beyond the Bush/Olmert/Ahmadinejad rhetoric and look beyond the pathetic media headlines.

Just a clarification on the MEK. At the time of the coup against premier Mossadegh there was no such organization as the MEK.
They were founded in 1965 by former yound and univerity educated members of premier Bazargan's freedom movement of Iran.
From what I can recall they were of the belief that peaceful political activities and demonstrations against the Shah and his American, British and Israeli supporters were useless and it just led to torture and execution of Iranians at the hand of the regime and the consolidation of imperialist rule.
They found no such support for their advocacy of armed insurection amongst various nationalist (islamic and secular), social democrats, and religeous organizations.
They did however find commonality with the another communist guerilla organization that had advocated armed insurection, the Fedayeen.
Initially during the first several years they were busy building an organization, training their cadre, polishing their idealogy and establishing links all over the country in the underground movement against the Shah.
I think in the 70's the MEK suffered two significant coups. One was staged by communists within the MEK ranks and they came up with a pamphlet advocating acceptance of marxism-lenninsm as their revolutionary idealogy in place of Islam and they became known as Peykar and the other coup was conducted by SAVAK and CIA within the organizations ranks. This group retained the name MEK.
The leader of the MEK, Massoud Rajavi was in jail during the revolution and he had already declared his outrigt hostility towards Khomeini. Their relationship was also based on a historical fact that has not been touched upon.
I believe in the late 60's or early 70's the MEK was lobbying the leading religeous ulema in Iran to provide a fatwa or a doctrinal approval of armed insurrection against the state. Armed insurrection was a key component of communist guerilla organizations battling imperialist dominated governments and hence it was very popular and considered the way to go.
Most leading ulema in Iran refused to do that and they told the MEK rep that the only person who can grant them their wish was Ayatollah Khomeini who was in exile in Iraq and under house arrest.
The MEK decides to send a team of 2 or 3 people with the approval of Ayatollah Taleghani to meet with Khomeini. They carried a letter from Taleghani granting them an audience with Khomeini.
After the MEK reps provided their view points and rational for armed insurection against the state, Khomeini told them he will review their position and get back to them in a few days.
I think in a few days time they meet again and Khomeini rejected the notion of armed insurection against the state and said point blank that he will not support such acts on religeous grounds.
That was the begining of the split between the MEK and Khomeini. From thereon the MEk and other communist organizations considered Khomeini a reactionary and put him on their list of enemies. However they could never directly challange him due to his immense popularity amongst that massess.
After the revolution the tactics used by the MEK, Peykar and others are a ..............................

I'm an Iranian American who despises the current regime in Iran, but nonetheless, I can't help but chuckle at the posts of Issywise and perhaps 'voice of truth' as well. You two seem to have made up your mind that Iran is inherently evil and must be confronted. If you look back historically, you'll see that EVERYTHING the current regime in Iran is doing vis-a-vis the US and Israel is based not at all on their 'crazed muslim idealogy' as many noecons and their mouthpieces on Fox news want to portray, but rather on very pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, strategic considerations on all sides, including US, Israel, and regional Arab regimes.
Much of the Iranian government's actions is based on lessons from past interactions with the US (e.g., 1953 CIA/MI6 coup, helping the US on Afghanistan only to be put into the 'Axis of Evil, clandestine outreach rebuffed repeatedly…). They want to ensure that Iran is not forced into isolation by the US and Israel and they are using whatever means are at their disposal to make the point that Iran must treated and be given its rightful due as a major power in the Middle East. Interestingly, Iran and Israel were cooperating well into the 1980s (well AFTER the Islamic revolution in Iran) again for strategic reasons. The Israel lobby at the time still saw Iran as a potential ally and influenced the US government to tone down its approach to Iran a bit.
I would very highly suggest a book called "Treacherous Alliance" by Trita Parsi for those of you looking for a better understanding of the current dynamic in the Middle East.

Nice article by Scott. Straight forward and to the point.
However for the diehard zionists that are so paranoid and upset at Iran, here are a few facts that they should ponder:
1- The US, Briatain and Israel have been at war with Iran and the Iranian people the moment it was decided to overthrow the Mossadegh government.
2- The US, Britain and Israel held Iran hostage for over 30 years. Plundering their resources, help create SAVAK to torture and execute Iranians, and turn Iran into a military base at the service of zionism and imeprialism.
3- The US, Britain and Israel supported the massacre of unarmed peaceful demonstartors during the revolution. The death toll for those violant acts of terror is over 70000 people.
4- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported and fomented armed rebelion inside of Iran after the revolution which led to death, and destruction of property and to instability of Iran for the purpose of overthrowing the revolution.
5- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported and fomented armed insurection by the MEK and other left leaning guerilla organizations against the Islamic revolutionaries resulting in large numbers of deaths, destruction of property and instability.
6- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported the terrorist campaign of massive bombings and assassinations by the MEK and affiliated organizations.
7- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported and instigated the initiation of war by Saddam Hussein against Iran.
8- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported the transfer of chemical, biological and nuclear technology to Iraq in the early 80's for the sole purpose of their development and use against Iran.
9- The US, Britain and Israel actively supported the use of chemical weapons by Saddam Hussein against Iran and the Iraqi Kurds.
As I posted previously if some of you that are interested and want to have a glimpse of some of our criminal policies during the Iran-Iraq war just look at Bob Woodward's accounts of William Colby's desceription of CIA activities in his book (Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987) it details as much as can be detailed by Colby in conversations he held with Bob Woodward.
The above is a list of criminal charges that should be brought against the US, Britain and Israel in international forums and the respective policy makers responsible should be charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity and appropriately punished.
The notion that the Bush administartion is lying, fabricating evidence, using half truths, deceptions and exagerations to brain wash us and formulate a criminal foreign policy is neither new and nor is confined to the neo crazies and their supporters.
Both the democrats and republicans are guilty of such criminal conducts and to think that this is somehow the exclusive domain of the neo crazies and that the arrival of Obama is going to signal a new begining is wishful thinking at best and delusional.

Not even single Iranian or Iraqi was a terrorist at September 11 attack to justify invasion to Iraq Afghanistan now Iran.Most of them Egyptian & Saudy nationals.Why not invade Saudy & Egypt? These dictators is on USA side.So USA have to create a enemy state with a help of USA media to react to September 11.

Yes, the U.S. is grasping at straws to justify war, using questionable groups as intel sources, and aligning with other countries (Israel) who have their own agendas in bombing Iran. Ok, that's established. And I won't disagree on these points. But what about the obvious truths? (emphasis on OBVIOUS):

Another valuable essay by Ritter. Where else could anyone find this information. Even the so called "liberal" press will not cover it. Sadly, our own citizens do not know the truth and our government hardly represents the American people. Citizens are just fodder to be manipulated. Also, so sad to see Obama become a creature of the shadow government. His donors won't let him really be what he might be.

MEK is a cult more than anything else. They at one point banned sex between their member (of course their leaders could do it). Their ideology is a mixture of Communism and radical Islam.

As I read this article, I found myself transported to events in Ecuador last March. In the middle of the night, the Colombian Military raided a FARC camp across the border in Ecuador. An assortment of international visitors, including some Mexican students, were killed [This was when they were arranging the FARC hostage release].
The killings were actually the result of a 'smart bomb' probably dropped by a US crew and plane, as Colombia lacks that ability. Some deaths were murders committed after the fact. Autopsies showed they occurred from blows consistent with being hit by a rifle butt.
Nothing new so far, the US has been behaving like this in Latin America and the Caribbean for 50 years. What is new tho is that this raid resulted in Columbia gaining possession of the laptop computer belonging to the rebel leader.
Lo and behold, the laptop contained direct communication from Hugo Chavez in Venezuela with the FARC in Columbia. The implication of course was that Hugo and the FARC are plotting the overthrow of Urribe's Drug Lord regime.
The laptop was in the possession of the Colombian Military and the CIA for three days. Then it was turned over to some European Union Specialists to verify the information was there. They were not however, asked to do a diagnosis of when, or by whom, the postings were made, or even whether the computer actually belonged to the FARC leader.
I am continually surprised by the limited imagination of our spy agencies. Although I suppose a gift laptop works in both instances - even when it arrives without provenance.
Why should Iran be treated differently just because we cannot claim we are simply enforcing the Monroe Doctrine?
Think about it…

To Frank,
You version is amusing at best.
"Iranian taxpayer dollars are being used, with the permission of the Iranian government, to fund activities that result in Iraqis and Americans being killed and wounded in Iraq, and Iraqi property destroyed."
Says who? The same Bush administration and Neocons that want war against Iran?
What "sovereign nation" are we talking about? Iraq? Tha country currently occupied by the U.S., that's a sovereign nation now? I wish you would clarify, because I don't remember ever hearing of a "sovereign nation" that is also occupied by a 150,000 foreign troops.

Thanks to some of the answers to my question below. But I'm still not clear
on something. I attempted to index a remote site, in this case Lotus.com.
Now, I have no idea how many pages that is. But I let the index process run
for three days and by the end of three days, Linux was page-swapping like a

only one site, and I'm thinking about indexing a lot more, I've been trying
to figure out what I need to do to make the hardware/software able to
handle it. Right now, I'm thinking the process is too big. Can htdig and/or
htmerge running on a 258MB or 384MB machine handle indexing/merging sites
like lotus.com or other large sites, or is this beyond the scope of this
tool? And, if we don't know the size of external sites, how can I go about
thinking through this issue?

FILE: Hornsby's film session pays dividends
Published: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 12:24 a.m.
Jamar Hornsby disappeared late last season, banished to the Land of the Forgotten, a sad and hopeless place where promising careers go to die.
He earned the trip by selling his complimentary football tickets, an NCAA no-no that resulted in a five-game suspension by the University of Florida.
UF sped things up, but the redshirt sophomore safety from Jacksonville will be the first to tell you he was probably already headed in that direction any way.
The former high school All-America's career seemed to be drifting aimlessly. Before the suspension, his only role on the team was on special teams, and he wasn't giving anyone, not even himself, any indication that that might change in the foreseeable future.
The No. 3 safety prospect in the nation coming out of Sandalwood High School had "bust" written all over him.
After returning for the Capital One Bowl (to play on special teams), Hornsby took stock of his situation in the offseason and decided it was time to make a move.
His first step was into the film room.
"The train is going and time is slipping," Hornsby said. "I've been here almost three years now and I really haven't touched the field on defense yet.
"I had to get into that film room and get to playing."
If last Saturday's scrimmage is any indication, his plan has a chance. He appears to be moving back from the Land of the Forgotten.
On the final two plays, Hornsby produced two of the day's biggest defensive highlights a monster hit on tight end Tate Casey, followed by a scrimmage-ending interception.
Granted, it's only two plays in one spring scrimmage, but it's a start.
Hornsby is suddenly feeling good about himself (and his UF career) again.
"I'm speechless, really," he said. "It's just the film room. That's really where it's at. If you know what you're doing, the game is a lot easier.
"Studying film makes a huge difference. Last year, I was out there running around, not really knowing what i was doing. Now, I know exactly what my assignments are and I'm getting in a position to make plays. I'm playing with a lot of confidence now."
The coaches have noticed.
"Jamar Hornsby has done some good things," safeties coach Chuck Heater said Monday. "He had that big hit Saturday. Everybody notices those big hits. That was a good thing. That was the most positive thing in that scrimmage.
"He's definitely improved."
Hornsby said he's hoping his more dedicated approach will lead to possible playing time on defense in the fall. It would be his first significant playing time (other than special teams) in the three years he's been here.
Hornsby's UF career got off to a tough start even before he arrived on campus. He injured his knee in his senior season at Sandalwood and had reconstructive surgery after signing with with the Gators.
He said the effects of the injury lingered through a redshirt season in 2006 and even into last season.
"The knee injury was a real big setback," he said. "I came out of high school real heavy. I came here and lost a lot of weight, almost 30 pounds. I had to gain all that back, and I had to get my speed back. I was depressed for a long time because I wasn't playing."
The low point came last fall when he was suspended from the Georgia, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Florida Atlantic and Florida State games for selling his comp tickets earlier in the season. He had to make restitution to UF.
As bad as things seemed, Hornsby said he was determined to stick it out at Florida.
"I was upset, but I never considered leaving," he said. "Last year was tough, just playing special teams and seeing the other guys out there playing.
"I definitely have matured a lot. I've got my head on straight now, and I think I'm really ready to play now."

Students, Parents Alerted to Need for Smart Choices in High School
- 02/16/2004
Success in today's society and economy depends on being able to think critically, solve math problems, operate computers, work in teams, understand political processes, appreciate other cultures, and be scientifically literate. These abilities are developed by taking rigorous courses in high school; failure to take such courses can result in years of struggle to make up lost ground.
Most good jobs today require a high-quality technical or college education, and most students and parents understand this. In a recent poll conducted by the Education Commission of the States, 91 percent of ninth-grade students said they plan to go to college. However, many graduate from high school unprepared for the rigors of college course work or find themselves not meeting college admission requirements.
Admission to the University of Nebraska, for example, requires four years of English, three years each of science and social studies, two years of foreign language, and three or four years of math. Students need similar courses to do well in a community college or to get a quality job in the workforce.
The high school years are also a time for making important plans. Students should attend local career days to learn about different professions. They also should attend college fairs, visit college campuses and talk with admissions staff members. Parents and students need to consider how to pay for college by finding out about scholarships, student aid, and programs offered by the military and other organizations. They should contact the Nebraska College Savings plan to determine the tax advantages it offers.
Information to help families get started on their plans is enclosed with our letter –and the materials are available in Spanish as well as English.
We have asked middle school and high school principals to distribute our letter and the accompanying materials. We thank them very much for their help in this annual effort and we encourage parents and students to ask their local principals and guidance counselors for help in getting additional information about college and careers.

CAFTA GOOD FOR WORKERS AND CONSUMERS -- (House of Representatives - July 26, 2005)
(Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, this week we will debate CAFTA. All of the Nation's major newspaper editorial boards support CAFTA. Listen to these quotes.
The Washington Post cites a study that shows U.S. income would increase by $17 billion under CAFTA. The Wall Street Journal says CAFTA would expand the market for U.S. goods with the 44 million consumers of six Central American countries. The Journal goes on to say that American farmers would be among the biggest winners under CAFTA.
USA Today says CAFTA would slash tariffs on agriculture products coming from the U.S. The L.A. Times says the benefits of free trade are evenly spread across society, citing rapid growth and higher income of free trading nations.
Even the New York Times claims that this free trade agreement ``deserves to approved.''
In addition to these editorial boards, Central American workers and leaders overwhelmingly support this agreement. Mr. Speaker, they cannot all be wrong. I, therefore, urge my colleagues to vote in favor of CAFTA. More trade means more jobs.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- If you wanted to know where Tim Williams was going before Monday, you should've asked ESPN 150 cornerback Maurice Smith. The Alabama commitment spent all weekend with Williams in Tuscaloosa while the two were on their official visits, and Williams shared the news of his commitment with Smith on Saturday.
Williams waited until Monday to go public with his decision, but either way, Smith was excited about the new addition.

The SFFWRTCHT Review: Seven Wonders by Adam Christopher
Book review by M.A. Chiappetta
Seven Wonders by Adam Christopher is a superhero novel, part of a small but vibrant niche in the vast genre of speculative fiction. The story is set in the fictional California city of San Ventura, where the supervillain known as the Cowl holds sway. San Ventura's resident team of superheroes, the Seven Wonders, may be impressive but they seem unable to defeat their supervillain foe. This stalemate among the super-powered leaves the city in an uneasy status quo, which grates hard on two people. One is Detective Sam Millar, who has personal as well as professional reasons to bring down the Cowl, with or without the help of the Seven Wonders. The other is an average guy named Tony Prosdocimi, who suddenly begins to develop super-powers of his own, giving him the opportunity to destroy the Cowl and put an end to the fear that most city dwellers, including himself, have been living in.
Seven Wonders has a lot to recommend itself, especially for fans of comics and graphic novels. It's clear that the author, Adam Christopher, has both familiarity and affection for the comic book genre. He borrows from and references many of the tropes you'd expect to see in a superhero tale—dramatic super-powered fight scenes, gods in human form, aliens from distant planets who make their home on earth, secret identities—the works. In the opening scene, which shows the Cowl in the middle of a nefarious act, the action is so vivid that it could have been inked by Steve Ditko, and you can almost hear the narrator from the old Batman TV show giving the blow-by-blow.
The story then veers into a less melodramatic, more novelistic tone, though it still retains its comic book flavor. In some ways, that is a good thing. The book is chock-full of conflict, which makes it a page-turner. The plot lines are very much as intense and varied as a reader would expect to see in a comic book, including robots that don't always function as planned, visits to a secret moon base, and a possible alien invasion. To be fair, the high level of action may be more appropriate for a year or more of a comic book line and less fitting for a single novel, where the constant new plot elements can seem almost overwhelming at times.
In addition, there are numerous plot twists, some that seem obvious once they have occurred and others that seem unexpected. One plot twist in particular is impossible to see coming; unfortunately, it involves the death of what may be one of the most relatable characters in the story. And it happens at the midpoint of the story, which may put off some readers. Still, there are enough unanswered questions at the midpoint to keep people reading, and that works in the book's favor.
The one area where the novel seems a bit thin is in the characterization. Many comic book lines suffer the same problem, the icons Marvel and DC included. The heightened nature of a comic means that characters are often sketched larger than life. In a novel, though, that's a detriment. Seven Wonders has a plethora of characters in it, and while not all of them can be drawn to the same degree of detail, there are some key characters that seem a little too one-dimensional given their importance to the story. As a result, it can feel hard at times to connect with some of the characters, either to love or to hate them.
Overall, though, Seven Wonders is a fun read. The setting is entirely believable for a story with superheroes in it, and the book contains the unique tone and flavor fitting for a comic-influenced story line. For readers who like their novels to move fast with unexpected plot turns, Seven Wonders should be worth the investment.

Fluorescence determination over the time-course of the experiment was performed on leaves of different physiological ages: the first measurements were conducted on the fourth leaf level counted from the bottom (cotyledons excluded), and every 6–8 days the upper leaf level was selected, according to the growth of the plant.
ChlF parameters were recorded from the adaxial side of dark-adapted (30 min) leaves with our system as described elsewhere [

Compared with the PAM method, multiparametric fluorescence ratios (BFRR_UV, NBI_G, SFR_G) provide an effective and timely technique for sensing salt stress without the need for dark adaptation. BFRR_UV and SFR_G were the most sensitive ratios for the rapid sensing of salinity. Of the evaluated genotypes, the fluorescence emissions in "Harzfeuer" revealed the strongest responses to salinity. Overall, the temporal development of NBI_G and SFR_G in "Rio Grande" and "H-2274", allied to the low Na and the high proline concentrations as well as the unchanged chlorophyll content, provide evidence that these genotypes are more salt tolerant than "Harzfeuer". Nevertheless, further in-depth physiological studies are required to analyze salinity-induced changes in the composition pattern of fluorophores. Lastly, additional validation studies with other genotypes and plant species are required.

Massillon Washington High School has named Cassie Schrock as its girls high school basketball coach.
Massillon Superintendent Rik Goodright recommended hiring Schrock for the position earlier this week to the Board of Education and she was approved by a 5-0 vote.
Schrock, 25, was a successful player at Wadsworth High School and Eastern Michigan University. She lettered four times at both schools, and served as an assistant coach for two seasons to her father, Denny Schrock, with the Chippewa girls basketball team.
Cassie Schrock was a first-team All-Ohio selection at Wadsworth, and started on a team that reached the Division I state semifinals in 2006. She graduated from Wadsworth in 2007 as the school's second-leading all-time scorer with 1,391 career points.
At Eastern Michigan, she averaged 12 points per game and was an All-Mid-American Conference second-team selection as a senior. She helped the Eagles to three runner-up finishes in the MAC West Division, and ranks in the top 10 in school history in assists (second, 537), games played (third, 126), points (fifth, 1,506), rebounds (fifth, 761), field goal attempts (eighth, 1,181), steals (eighth, 224) and scoring average (10th, 12.0).
Her 584 free throws made and 811 free throws attempted are No. 1 in school history and rank third and second, respectively, in MAC history.
Denny Schrock has won more than 500 games during a career that includes two stints at Chippewa (1979-2003, 2011-present) and a two-year run at Jackson (2004-06). As an assistant, Cassie helped Chippewa go 19-4 and 22-2 during the past two seasons.
Cassie Schrock takes over a Massillon program that was formerly coached by Mark Green. He guided the Tigers for seven years, posting five winning seasons and an overall record of 93-61.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It was amazingly designed, you could tell that whoever designed it knew what they were doing. A nice mix of modern and antique design + nice landscaping. I paid 109Euros and felt like it was worth every penny. Nothing.
This is a very special place. The owners/innkeepers are wonderful and they run a fabulous inn near San Sabastian/Donestia. Every detail is well thought out to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. nothing
Good atmosphere. Comfortable and beautiful room. Very good staff service. Beautiful building, landscape and garden. Breakfast buffet very aceptable. Recommended Hotel for relax
Beautifully restored hotel with very nice furniture located outside a small village not too far from Pyrenees and San Sebastian. Rooms are very comfortable and hotel is quiet. Very helpfull staff which speaks good English (and one person even Dutch). The restaurant serves a limited menu with items which are below what you expect in such a hotel. The rooms are around 10-20% overpriced compared to likewise hotels we stayed.
a stunning and relaxing place to stay. friendly staff and lovely food. liked everything - but it was a bit hard to find.
The hotel had beautiful artwork and elegant surroundings, a wonderful combination of the old and new. We also enjoyed the quiet countryside. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was great.
Amazing breakfast, lovely rooms and fantastic staff
breakfast nothing
Hotel is an aesthetic treat to the eyes, down to the smallest details. Looks like authentic castle, with all refined modern comfort. a. Difficulty in locating hotel, even with GPS, in a region where no soul is in sight at 7p.m. Suggest adding a few road signs. b. If anything, hotel is a little over manicured and tidy. Every single leaf is in place. A beautiful museum room is not the place where you like to plump down and read.
it was a overnight stay but we found the town bizzy with plenty of bars and coffee shops
The staff were very kind and helpful - the value for money in the restaurant was excellent and the food was generally superb. The rooms are spacious and the free wi-fi made a real change from having to pay through the nose for this service, The free sauna/gym/jacuzzi were also a major plus point. Non-Spanish speaking travellers should be aware the staff spoke very little English and the people leaing the bar were very noisy on one night of my stay.
very good and nice hotel!
Clean & comfortable, dinner was very good value - an excellent meal everything included. Location right on a busy dual carriageway was very off-putting, but our fears were groundless as even in the dead of night all that could be heard was a faint hum of traffic. Breakfast pretty ordinary.
the quiet place and the comfortable beds We did not like the following: Rudeness of bar staff, poor dinner menu, very stodgy food, so-so breakfast, horrid orange juice, the fact that the bar shut at 22.58, the atmosphere which was between an old folks home and a convent school, the plastic bags and other rubbish entangled in the river, the weeds in the front area, etc
As a traveller heading back to UK from Portugal it provided ideal stopover facilities. The bonus was the town itself, a short walk away that had plenty of bars and restaurants. Lack of secure car parking. Lack of any staff (electronic entry) was strange, but the welcome drinks in room fridge made up for it.
clean and comfortable,very quiet location I booked for two people on booking no.165419442,but the system only allowed one !! your system needs revising I would not use you again !
Practical location for road travellers
sleep no
Liked the location, just outside a beautiful town. Hotel was clean, modern and no reservations desk just a self check in which is ideal for people travelling and arriving at their leisure
The management was very friendly and very correct. Very clean hotel. The grocery and restaurant on the ground floor are very convenient for the hotel guests like myself.
it was close to highway, it was good priced. It was on the route, we had big room modern hotel
neat and clean
To begin the staff is fantastic, especially Edurne who was a very pleasant to speak with as well as extremely helpful. The rooms are located in a quiet location in a beautiful town. If traveling through Leitza I would recommend you stay here! Nothing
Great staff.Nice town,friendly people.Glad we didn't miss this area.
The view of the countryside from the private patio of our room was amazing. The room itself was clean and comfortable and the washroom facilities were excellent. The staff were very helpful and pleasant.
Clean and comfortable Basic Hostel rather than a hotel
The bathroom was very spacious and had the image of a 4-star bathroom, very nice. The room itself looks quite new and was quite big for a 2- star hotel above a gasstation. Automatic airconditioning with remote control was available in the room, and also a lcd tv. Fortunatley enough we found the hotel very quickly, but if you are not so lucky it can be hard. It is hidden behind a big Renault factory and is located above a gasstation. Just follow exit 396 if you're coming from Madrid and follow the signs to the gasstation, than you can't miss it!
Cheap-friendly well placed good room (no more slow typist Your directions were confusing !!
Hotel was new, conveinent ,ate in the resturant found it good value.
I had no difficulties but those who do not speak Spanish could have problems.
We were travelling through and wanted somewhere to stay overnight. The hotel was initially a bit off putting as it is atatched to a large garage and petrol station and there where a lot of trucks outside. I was afraid it would be noisy and very basic. In fact the rooms where spotless and well appointed. The staff where very helpful, and good food was available either at the cafe or in a resturant. The rooms where air conditioned and double glazed and we had no noise from the trucks. Very good value. It was just off the main road but also set amonst lovely mountains. No. It is not the sort of hotel for an extended stay but very good for its purpose as a stop over.
Everything available 24 hours a day. Friendly staff. Cleanness in general.
The hotel was conveniently situated for our journey and fulfilled very well all our requirements. Check in was slow because the hotel had not received our booking from the central office.
We had trouble finding the hotel due to not taking full details of how to get there - so when we arrived we were quite tired and on first impressions it dod look very 'rustic'. But the rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. Our room was very large and well decorated. Our shower room was actually in the orignial stone walls - very impressive! We opted for the 12 euro evening meal which was excellent. The food was clearly all cooked and prepared freshly each day. In fact when were trying to find the hotel and asked several people they all knew where it was and reccomended the restaurent. Not really - we were in what could only be described as the attic room which was lovely, but you did have to climb some highly polished wooded stairs to get their. which in very high heels and after an excellent bottle of wine could prove problematic! We only had one bedside lamp - but that is probably being a bit picky!
Friendly staff and hosts, who spoke english, good food and wine - excellent service. Fixed price menu for 12 Euros - including wine. Childrens play area. Would have liked a comfortable chair in the room, although there were comfortable sofas in the lounge area, immediately outside the bedrooms. Breakfast was a little disapointing.
The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were superb. The decor original and stunning. The food was excellent, although some sort of vegetables with the main course would have been desirable. The factory next door - but that is not the fault of the Hotel!
Staff kindness & client-care. Industrial premises in the neighborhood.
Beautiful places with artistic design and interior. Great to see the antique style. I want to pay with cash but need to pay credit card. It's bad for me.
The rooms were fabulous, big light and beautifully decorated. The staff were polite, friendly and really made us feel at home. The food was great although the 'crusted veal snout' one of our party ordered will forever be remembered! None.
it was good as a design the floor noisy,the bed noisy. and at the balcony the view and the small was terrible.

Coldhurst, Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
Coldhurst Holy Trinity was created a district chapel (chapelry) in 1848, lying within Prestwich parish.
"COLDHURST, a chapelry in Oldham township, Prestwich parish, Lancashire; in the north-eastern neighbourhood of Manchester. It was constituted in 1844. Post town, Oldham. Pop., 3, 046. Houses, 555. The living is a vicarage in-the diocese of Manchester. Value, £150. Patron, alternately the Crown and the Bishop. The church is good."
(From: John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (pub. London: 1870)
[It was] "an ecclesiastical parish or district [church], in the parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham, union of Oldham, hundred of Salford, S. division of the county of Lancaster, 7 miles (N. E. by N.) from Manchester. It is nearly three miles in circumference, and is principally pasture and meadow land, of hilly surface. The turnpike-road from Oldham to Rochdale passes through it. Coal-mines are wrought, and cotton and hat manufactories carried on. An old Hall here, belonging to Abram Crompton, Esq., is now converted into cottages. The district was constituted in October, 1844, under the act 6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 37, and the erection of a church was commenced in the summer of 1847; it is in the early English style, and built on a site presented by Mr. Crompton. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £150; patrons, the Crown and the Bishop of Chester, alternately. Within the district are some fine springs. Coldhurst is said to have been the scene of an action in the rebellion, in which the parliamentarians were defeated."

P100 vs P500
I agree that for me the superzoom cameras are the way to go for what I do - travel all over the world and take nice photos and not have to lug a lot of stuff. My previous superzoom, the Olympus, had an optional telephoto lens that screwed on, and while I did use it, the fact that I had to pull it out of a bag and screw it on meant that it was not convenient to use. With the Nikon P500, I can have an 810mm zoom without any extra lens. Certainly an SLR in the hands of a professional (which I am not) would yield better pictures, but it would cost a whole lot more and require a whole lot of luggage. I can say that the pictures I get from this Nikon P500 are good enough for me and most people who see them think that they are excellent.
I also own a Panasonic "travel-zoom" camera which has a 12x zoom and fits easily in the pocket for those times where even the Nikon P500 is too big.
It all depends on what your objective is.

The PRX718XLF, extended low frequency subwoofer was designed and engineered to provide sub bass frequencies with accuracy and power. Used as a single sub in a sub/sat system or in multiples as part of a scalable, large format sound reinforcement system, the PRX718XLF performs with extreme efficiency and control.
The PRX718XLF extended low frequency subwoofer was designed and engineered to provide sub bass frequencies with accuracy and power. Used as a single sub in a sub/sat system or in multiples as part of a scalable, large format sound reinforcement system, the PRX718XLF performs with exceptional efficiency and control. The subs are stackable and light-weight ensuring quick set-ups and tear-downs. And due to their rugged construction are perfect for AV rental inventories. With a pole receptacle (that accepts a SS4-BK or SS4-BK24) on the top panel and integrated stereo pass-thru this is the most powerful low-frequency complement to the PRX full-range systems. The addition of a polarity reverse option further enables system optimization.
The PRX718XLF is a high performance self-powered subwoofer system. The PRX718XLF is comprised of a powerful 2278G Differential Drive dual voice-coil and magnetic gap, woofer driven by a 1500 Watt Class-D power amplifier. Sophisticated DSP is at the core of a fully featured input section, providing user selectable cross-over functionality, polarity optimization, protection, dynamic limiting and discrete component optimization.
All PRX700 cabinets are built from a combination of 25mm (on the top and bottom for added rigidity) and 18mm, strong, light-weight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX700 Series cabinets are protected by JBL's tour proven DuraFlex finish. Grilles are made from dent-resistant 16 gauge steel and handles are made from light-weight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability.
The amplifier input panel offers stereo inputs with XLR or ¼ inch jack compatibility. A user selectable crossover ensures a smooth transition to full-range system connected to the stereo outputs. Signal present and limiter lights indicate the system status and assist in setting the optimum level via the level control knob.
