Island Windjammers Diamant: Diamant Cruise Review by small ship sailor
Overall Member Rating
Island Windjammers Diamant
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Grenada
Sunday - Arrived on the evening flight from Miami. Dinner waiting for us when we arrived at the ship.
Monday - 5:30am start. Raised the sails to Amazing Grace and headed out for Carriaciou. We went ashore and made a deal with taxi driver Keith for an island tour that was very enjoyable and comfortable in an air conditioned van. Before taking launch back to the ship we stopped in at Ade's internet. Hour and a half sail to Chatham Bay for overnight. Great star gazing after dinner.
Tuesday - 4:30-8:30 am sail to Bequia. 8 of us did a taxi tour with Terrance. This "taxi" was a pick-up with a cover over the bench seats in the back. The tour included a stop at the More turtle sanctuary and Friendship Beach. Mac's Pizza for lunch - the lobster pizza with garlic was delicious! Rest of the afternoon was swimming and snorkeling at Princess Margaret beach and then swimming and rope swing off the ship.
Wednesday - Sail to Tobago Cays. 8 or so porpoise swam alongside us. I mean only a few feet off the side of the ship. Lots of excitement and picture taking. In the afternoon we swam with giant sea turtles. This was one of the highlights of the week for me. Ended the afternoon on the other side of the cay with a beach bar and nice calm water for swimming and floating. Sailed to Mayreau for overnight.
Thursday - After breakfast we walked up to the top of Mayreau where the church and school are for the spectacular view of Tobago Cays . We had a nice stroll down to Salt Whistle Bay. Lots of pretty views on the way down. We swam and then shopped at the t-shirt trees at the beach. A shower was on the way so we opted for a taxi ride back to the dock on the other side of the island. Had a very nice driver who told us his taxi was one of only 8 vehicles on Mayreau. Sailed over to Union Island in the afternoon where we went ashore in the launch and explored Clifton then ended the afternoon at Happy Island. Motored to Chatham Bay for overnight. Star gazing after dinner. We're pretty sure we saw a UFO. And there really wasn't that much alcohol involved in the sighting.....
Friday - best snorkeling of the week was Friday morning at Chatham bay. Millions of fish and even a good sized octopus. 11am we put up the sails for the last time for our sail to Grenada. Spectacular sailing with the engines off a good part of the sail. A perfect afternoon! Put into Port Louis a little after 5. Captains dinner was followed by a walk around the large and very nice marina.
Saturday - After a hot breakfast we were picked up for transfer to the airport for our 9:30am flight to Miami. A wonderful week that went by way too fast!
Our crew was fabulous. They were all exceptional. I can't say enough good things about how friendly, professional and attentive they all were. We are already planning our next Diamant tall ship sailing adventure! Less

August 4th, 2011
On August 2, President Obama signed into law S 365, the Budget Control Act of 2011, a complicated compromise package to raise the nation's debt limit and reduce the deficit by cutting federal spending across a wide array of programs.
Most importantly for universities like the CSU, which provide access to tens of thousands of low-income students, S 365 sets aside $17 billion to sustain the need-based Pell Grant program over the next two fiscal years ($10 billion in FY 2012, $7 billion for FY 2013). These dedicated resources will help alleviate a massive funding shortfall that posed a broad threat to current levels of Pell benefits, making it possible for Congress to both maintain the maximum Pell Grant at $5,550 and avoid cuts to student eligibility. It should also limit the damage to other education, research, and workforce training programs that could have faced cuts to help prop up Pell.
This injection of new Pell funding was by no means assured. Over the past several months, Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle, along with Obama administration officials and higher education associations, seriously examined options to cut down the size and scope of the Pell program beginning this fall. At times there appeared to be significant traction for proposals that could have been especially detrimental to CSU students, such as changing the definition of "full-time" students from the current 12 units to 15 units, which could have reduced by twenty-five percent grants for thousands of CSU students. Led by Chancellor Charles B. Reed, CSU leaders fought such proposals, making the case for full Pell preservation both within the higher education community and with policymakers on the Hill and in the Obama administration. In meetings, correspondence and briefings, Reed stressed the potentially devastating impact proposed cuts would have on working, first-generation, and underrepresented minority students – and on our nation's ability to close the achievement gap and produce the job-ready graduates needed for future economic success. Students across the country, along with many other institutions and organizations, also rallied effectively on behalf of Pell, helping protect the program as a final deal on the debt was made.
The new Pell money in S 365 was made possible, however, by cuts to other higher education programs. The largest share comes through eliminating the subsidized student loan program for graduate and professional students (though S 365 explicitly preserves those benefits for students in California's post-baccalaureate teacher-credentialing programs). Moreover, the deal puts a wide range of CSU priority programs, ranging from GEAR UP and TRIO to minority-serving to workforce training initiatives – in jeopardy for both near- and long-term cuts.
Enactment of S 365 enabled Congress to leave Washington for its traditional summer recess. The Senate plans to return on September 6, followed by the House on September 7.

Art Hodes Biography
Arthur W. Hodes, 14 November 1904, Nikoliev, Ukraine, d. 4 March 1993, Harvey, Illinois, USA. A few months after Hodes was born, his family emigrated from Russia and settled in Chicago, Illinois. He began playing piano and by his late teenage years was working in dancehalls and clubs. He played with several local bands, including Wingy Manones, but also established himself as a solo performer. For the next 10 years he was active in Chicago, but in 1938 moved to New York, where he played with jazzmen including Joe Marsala, Sidney Bechet and Mezz Mezzrow, continuing into the early 40s. During this time he had his first experience as a radio broadcaster, presenting record shows. He also began to write, and for some years was editor ofJazz Record magazine. He led his own bands for engagements at many clubs and restaurants in and around New York, but at the end of the 40s decided to move back to Chicago.
For the next four decades Hodes led bands, played solo piano, taught, broadcast on radio and television, all in and around Chicago. In the 60s he recorded with Truck Parham and Mama Yancey. Hodes made occasional tours, including trips to Denmark, Europe and Canada, where he worked with Jim Galloway, one of their concerts being recorded and released asLive From Toronto. In the early 80s he appeared again in New York, but he remained true to his adopted home-town. Stylistically, Hodes was strongly rooted in the blues. His knowledge of blues piano and stride, allied to his teaching, writing and demonstration, helped keep the forms alive. In 1977, some of his earlier and perceptive writings forJazz Record were published in book form.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Judith Gische has dropped legal documents filed by photographers Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles against the celebrity couple.
A New York judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed against supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady over an alleged shooting incident at the couple's Costa Rica wedding. Paparazzi photographers Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles sued the stars in September 2009 after claiming bodyguards had shot at them, shattering the rear window of their vehicle, as they attempted to take unauthorized pictures of the ceremony, which took place last April.
Members of Brady's security team spotted the snappers and demanded they hand over their cameras - but the pair attempted to make a fast escape by jumping into a sports utility vehicle, prompting the guards to open fire. Cortez and Aviles, both citizens of Costa Rica, accused Bundchen and Brady of negligence in hiring and training the security team and filed papers in a New York court, demanding more than $1 million in damages.
But the case was dismissed by New York State Supreme Court Justice Judith Gische on Wednesday, May 26 after she declared there was no reason for the lawsuit to be tried in the U.S. Gische says, "This complaint must otherwise be dismissed because the court does not have personal jurisdiction over either of the defendants. Costa Rica is a substantially more convenient forum for the parties' disputes than New York."

SUPER slimmers helped to raise £400 for St Rocco's Hospice by shedding more than 90 stone in just six weeks.
Members of two Slimming World groups in Grappenhall decided to shed pounds while gaining pounds for the hospice as part of the charity challenge.
Kerrie Brettle, the group leader, said: "Slimming World run a slim for good event every year, it's a group challenge for every group in the country but instead of it being for a national charity each member gets to vote for their local cause they want to raise money for.
"Our group chose St Rocco's Hospice by an overwhelming number because of the good work it does for families across the town.
"They had a number of options - they could give a donation or a individual sponsored slim or a group one saying they would lose a certain amount in the six weeks."
The slimming groups, which meet at the Ex Serviceman's Club, on Chester Road, on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings, worked hard together to lose a total of 90st 3lb over the period and raised £400.
"It worked out that the average person lost from 10lb to 14lb during the six weeks," added 45-year-old Kerrie, of Windsor Drive, Grappenhall.
The charity aspect also worked wonders for slimmers by giving them a new impetus to lose weight.
Kerrie said: "People who have had a lot on can get focused by these kind of fundraisers and it gives them extra motivation to lose those pounds."
The groups have been busy with more charity challenges including handing in 191 bags of unwanted clothes which no longer fit members to Cancer Research UK.

ALBANY, GA - A plane headed for Saint Petersburg from Cedar Rapids, Iowa was forced to make an emergency landing overnight in Georgia. Passengers were expected to arrive by bus in Saint Petersburg by 6 a.m. Monday morning.
WPLG-TV reports authorities say the plane was forced to land and evacuate in Albany after a possible fire in the cargo area. About 160 passengers and crew were onboard the Allegiant Airlines flight.
While crews prepared on the ground at Southwest Georgia Regional Airport, pilots and passengers braced for a landing they hadn't planned to make.
"Not knowing what was going to happen next, we didn't know if it was going to be a safe landing, or a horrendous landing, we didn't know where we were going down," said one passenger.
"It was wild, I mean, I stayed calm somewhat, but I could tell that once we stopped people were very panicky, wanting to get to that exit right away," said another passenger.
And rightfully so, as the pilot of the plane noticed an indicator light that had a fire breaking out in the cargo area. Allegiant Airlines released a statement shortly after the landing saying:
"For the safety of the passengers, the best option was to land at Southwest Georgia Regional Airport just before 9:00 pm Sunday night."
But despite the scary nature of the landing, passengers say the airline staff and airport staff did everything they could to make this about as safe of a situation as it could've possibly been.
The American Red Cross also arrived to the airport to bring pizza for the passengers and to try to make them as comfortable as possible.
An FAA spokeswoman says no fire was found on the plane when investigators arrived.

Should cancer patients and survivors be vaccinated against the 2009 H1N1 virus?
Yes. People with cancer or a history of cancer should receive the H1N1 flu shot, not the nasal spray vaccine. The seasonal flu vaccine is not expected to protect against 2009 H1N1 flu. People who live with or care for cancer patients and survivors also should be vaccinated against 2009 H1N1 flu.
CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that certain groups receive the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine as soon as possible. This group includes cancer patients and survivors

Hey mate, I edited your comment about japanese being ahead at technology. The shortened term is actually a racial slur. If I didn't have a good idea that you're not racist that kind of thing can get you status really quick. Please avoid using the term "japs" in the future Peter. Thanks mate

HARRISBURG - Calling it a "tragic day for Penn State," Magisterial District Judge William C. Wenner on Tuesday ordered the university's former president and two other former top administrators to trial for covering up child-sex abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky.
Graham Spanier, 65, former athletic director Tim Curley, 59, and former senior vice president Gary Schultz, 63, are charged with perjury, endangering the welfare of children, obstruction of justice and three counts of conspiracy. If convicted on all counts, they each face a maximum 39 years in prison.
No trial date has been set.
Wenner, a retired police officer and Dauphin County detective, contemplated his decision for all of 18 seconds after a day-and-a-half of testimony from eight prosecution witnesses. State prosecutors, he ruled, had met a fundamental burden of proof requiring they show that the charged crimes occurred and Spanier, Curley and Schultz likely committed them.
Bruce Beemer, of the state Attorney General's Office, told Wenner the evidence showed Spanier, Curley and Schultz engaged in a "conspiracy of silence" after a report of abuse in February 2001 and then lied to a grand jury to conceal their knowledge of the abuse and their cover-up plot.
Over the next decade, Beemer said, "the record is replete with them continuing to lie."
Attorneys for Spanier, Curley and Schultz did not call witnesses at the preliminary hearing but argued the state's evidence - including emails between the men in the days after the 2001 allegation and testimony intended to show their knowledge of an abuse investigation three years earlier - did not mesh with the technical requirements of the endangering the welfare of a child, obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges.
Elizabeth Ainslie, an attorney for Spanier, argued the evidence against her client "amounts only to innuendo and far-fetched inference."
Schultz's attorney, Tom Farrell, told Wenner his client is no obstructer of justice. The former senior vice president kept handwritten notes on the 1998 investigation and emails on the 2001 allegation in a confidential file in his office, a former secretary said, but never ordered her to destroy documents or lie to investigators.
"He's the guy who preserved his emails, he's the guy who kept his notes, he's the guy who told his secretary to tell the truth," Farrell said. "He's the guy who produced, for me, the Sandusky file without being under subpoena to do so."
Schultz, portrayed by prosecutors as the cog in the alleged cover-up, consulted an attorney two days after the 2001 incident for advice on the "reporting of suspected child abuse," state Attorney General's Office investigator Anthony Sassano testified Tuesday.
Farrell, in an interview after the hearing, would not say whether he would argue Schultz received bad legal advice, but questioned the inference that the consultation was evidence of a cover-up.
"What cover-up?" Farrell balked. "If this is a cover-up, why would you start telling people?"
Beemer countered that he could have met the low preliminary hearing standard for the charges with a single email exchange in which he said Spanier, Curley and Schultz agreed to handle the 2001 allegation internally rather than alerting the police or a child welfare agency.
"It's a rather astounding series of circumstances, starting in 1998 all the way up really, into 2011, 2012," Beemer said in court. "The defense clearly is misconstruing the nature of the evidence. It's really rather remarkable the attempt to gloss over the historical evidence - that email, from 2001, in which a decision is made on how to handle this case. I could have submitted that email to you (alone) and could have made my case."
The evidence, Beemer said, suggested Spanier, Curley and Schultz "wanted this to go a certain way" to "keep out the police or any agency that would do a legitimate investigation" into Sandusky's behavior.
In one of the emails in Beemer's smoking-gun exchange, Curley backed off an agreed-upon plan to inform the state Department of Public Welfare of the 2001 allegation, which traveled quickly up the university chain of command after former assistant football coach Mike McQueary said he walked in on what appeared to be Sandusky sexually assaulting a preteen boy in a campus shower.
"After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps," Curley said, referring to the late Joe Paterno.
Curley's attorney, Caroline Roberto, would not disclose what Paterno, the former longtime head football coach, said to change Curley's mind and would not say whether Curley would testify about their conversation at trial.
Roberto ripped McQueary, a star witness at Sandusky's June 2012 trial and again Monday, in court and at a post-hearing news conference. The attorney questioned the validity of McQueary's claim that Paterno, who fielded McQueary's first report after the 2001 incident, criticized the university's handling of the abuse allegation and subsequent fallout.
"Mr. McQueary seems to be, in my judgment, making it up as he goes along," Roberto said. "I don't think he has ever told anyone before that Paterno said, 'Old Main screwed it up.'"
A jury convicted Sandusky in June 2012 on 45 counts of child sex abuse related to at least 10 victims over the last two decades, including the 1998 and 2001 incidents. A judge sentenced him last October to 30 to 60 years in state prison. He is appealing the conviction.
Curley and Schultz, who were arrested in November 2011, were previously ordered to trial on a perjury charge after a December 2011 preliminary hearing, but state prosecutors refilled a uniformed set of charges when they arrested Spanier last November.
Prosecutors accused Spanier of lying to a grand jury about his knowledge of an earlier campus police investigation into Sandusky's behavior and of keeping emails and other evidence from law enforcement. The university handed over that material, prosecutors said, soon after Spanier left office.
In grand jury testimony read into the preliminary hearing record Tuesday, Spanier said he had no knowledge of the 1998 investigation and was told the 2001 incident amounted to Sandusky "horsing around" with a boy in a campus shower.
Ainslie said Spanier could not remember the 1998 incident because, while he was copied on emails from Schultz and Spanier, never responded to them and, traveling out of the country at the time, may never have read them.
Spanier told the grand jury in April 2011 that he, Curley and Schultz never discussed reporting the 2001 incident to police or the Department of Public Welfare. Part of the response outlined in the emails, which Spanier received, involved informing Sandusky that they were aware of the earlier incident.
"Spanier lied about material facts during the course of his testimony," Beemer argued.
Spanier said he had no indication what he described to the grand jury as "horsing around" could have been sexual in nature. He said he never considered that possibility because, "what was reported to me was not a report of an activity that was sexual in nature. I know better than to jump to conclusions about that."
However, in a Feb. 28, 2001 email approving a plan not to approach Sandusky rather than reporting him to the police, Spanier appeared to understand the sexual nature of the abuse allegation. "The only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and then we become vulnerable for having not reported it," he wrote.
Beemer called Ainslie's position, that Spanier was unaware of the 1998 investigation - involving serious sexual abuse allegations against a well-known and respected assistant football coach - "inconsistent and ridiculous."
"It is an inconceivable position to take, based on the documentary evidence, that they would not know what's going on in 1998," Beemer said. "If Dr. Spanier did not know, then he's negligent."

Consider animal safety during cold weather
Published 4:50 pm, Tuesday, December 11, 2012
With near freezing temperatures having arrived this week, now is the time to take steps to protect four-legged family members from the cold, wet weather San Antonio winters often bring.
The best way to protect your pets during the winter? Bring them inside. Can't have a pet inside the house? Purchase an insulated dog house or build a protective enclosure that shields your pet from the elements and gives them a safe, warm place to rest.
Other tips for winter pet care:
• Pets that spend much of their day outdoors will need some extra food throughout the winter months. That's because they use up more energy trying to stay warm, but make sure your pet is getting daily exercise if they're prone to weight gain.
News Channel
• Always provide fresh, clean water. Check water daily and clean bowls regularly to prevent algae growth.
• Be mindful of pets while winterizing your car. Antifreeze is deadly to pets who are attracted to its sweet taste. Store all chemicals out of reach especially if you're going to bring your pets into the garage on cold nights.
• Before warming up the car, bang on the hood. A warm engine can be a welcome spot for a cold cat, and the noise should chase them before you start the engine.
San Antonio has laws that protect pets from neglect including exposure to harsh weather. Residents can report violations by calling 3-1-1.

When the Spirit was poured out on the men and women gathered in the upper room, each of them received a holy flame. The Bible does not say the men had blue flames while the women had pink flames. The anointing has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with Jesus Christ, the one who baptizes us with His Spirit.
This is why the apostle Peter quoted the prophet Joel in his Pentecost sermon, declaring, "Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy" (Acts 2:17, emphasis added). And this is why Paul later told the Galatians that in Christ "there is neither male nor female" (Gal. 3:28). Theologians have long referred to that passage from Galatians as the Bible's great emancipation proclamation. Those who would deny a woman the anointing to preach might as well go back and live under the old covenant.
Equality in Christ does not mean that men and women should be androgynous. Empowering women is not about denying sex roles—nor is it about women overthrowing men. But if we want to be a truly Pentecostal people we must release women to take their place in this newly anointed priesthood.
4. The apostle Paul trained and released women leaders. For centuries traditionalists have misread and twisted Paul's words about women. Citing two difficult passages (1 Cor. 14:34-35 and 1 Tim. 2:12) they have forged a doctrine of female silence and subjugation that runs contrary to the rest of Scripture.
We don't have room here to dissect these passages, but it should be noted that Paul was dealing with specific crises in Ephesus and Corinth when he made these statements. If we are to honor God in our Bible interpretation we must look at all Paul said about women, as well as how he worked alongside women.
When closing his letter to the Romans, Paul mentions several women leaders who served on his apostolic team—including Phoebe, a deacon; Priscilla, a skilled Bible teacher; Tryphena and Tryphosa, whom he described as "workers"; Persis, a Persian woman he labeled "hardworking"; and Junia, who obviously served in apostolic ministry (see Rom. 16:1-4, 7, 12). In other epistles he mentions women who led churches, such as Chloe (see 1 Cor. 1:11). He also tried to reconcile Euodia and Syntyche (see Phil. 4:1-3), female ministers who had some kind of ministry dispute.
Paul obviously saw women as a strategic part of God's plan. When he ventured into Europe he went to the place where women prayed—and Lydia, a businesswoman, was his first convert (see Acts 16:13-14). The Paul who clamped down on female false teachers in Ephesus is the same Paul who supported his female ministry comrades. We need to stop making him out to be a chauvinist when he was the best model of a male leader who empowered women.
5. God's family is made of both fathers and mothers. Throughout the Old and New Testaments we see a constant theme of male/female partnership: Abraham and Sarah inherited their promise together; Deborah and Barak won a great military victory; Mordecai and Esther overthrew a genocide plot; Priscilla and Aquilla laid apostolic foundations in the early church.
Solomon wrote: "Hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother" (Prov. 1:8). From the beginning God called male and female to reflect His image—and the biblical family was formed with one father and one mother. God needed both genders to accomplish His purpose.
Yet in many churches today a woman's spiritual influence is minimized. We've either muzzled our women or simply displayed them like decorations on a shelf. When godly women are silenced the whole church suffers.
Many Christians are rightly concerned about the advancement of the homosexual agenda in our culture. We oppose the acceptance of same-sex marriage—as we should. But many of the same churches that argue for traditional marriage have adopted a policy of "same-sex ministry." They only allow men to preach, teach, disciple believers and pastor the flock.
God is calling brave, passionate women of integrity today to step into the role of being a spiritual mother. Will we make fun of them like Eli did when Hannah groaned in prayer at Shiloh? Or will we bless them and make room for their spiritual gifts?

Penguins Cup Chronicles: Peter Taglianetti
With a 6-0 lead heading into the third period of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, expectations for a loose locker room would have been wrong.
Defenseman Peter Taglianetti described it as just the opposite — until coach Bob Johnson offered some sage words.
"I forget the exact words, but it was something like, 'You guys have 20 minutes to be etched on the (Stanley) Cup, immortality in the NHL.' We're all just sitting there, guys are just bouncing up and down because everything was just pent up and couldn't get going," Taglianetti said last week. "He goes, 'This is what you live for, the whole nine yards.' And he stopped and looked around, and he goes, 'Don't (mess) it up.' It was the only time he ever swore. It was like the air was let out of the room."
The Penguins scored two more goals in the third period to clinch their first Stanley Cup.
Just six months earlier, Taglianetti said he couldn't have been farther from the chalice every player craves. Traded in the preseason from Winnipeg to Minnesota, he found himself worn down by an unfriendly locker room, gruff management, a change in ownership and the North Stars' lack of success.
Then, he got a call from Minnesota general manager Bobby Clarke.
"We had a game that night, so I just got home from practice," Taglianetti said. "I'm sitting down ready to eat and Bobby Clarke calls and says, his exact words: 'We traded you to Pittsburgh. Craig Patrick's calling in a couple minutes. Bye.' That was the end of the conversation."
The phone call was the start of a whirlwind day that resulted in Taglianetti and Larry Murphy in Pittsburgh. That night, Taglianetti was paired with the Penguins' top defenseman, Paul Coffey.
"I knew pretty much the whole locker room. Randy Gilhen was there; I played with him in Winnipeg," he said. "Kevin Stevens was there, Johnny Cullen, Scotty Young — we were all playing Boston College hockey or high school hockey against each other, so I knew all them. ... I walked in, and it felt like home."
q&a with Peter Taglianetti
On starting the season in Winnipeg:
(Hockey teams are) notorious for trading people during the season. Winnipeg at the time called me into the office, and they had just traded for Phil Housley at the time and they had Teppo Numminem, Fredrik Olausson and Dave Ellett as their four offensive guys that they wanted to run with, and Randy Carlyle was the old guard up there, and he was going to be the fifth, and they had their heavyweight fighter Shawn Cronin as their sixth. They said we're going to go with this, we're going to trade you. I said, well, if you trade me to someplace else in Canada, I'd rather stay here in Winnipeg. If you trade me to the States, that's fine, no big deal. They ended up trading me to Minnesota with three days left in training camp.
On his impressions of the North Stars:
At that time, they were hurting. Ownership-wise, Norm Green had just taken over the team. They were only drawing about 7,000 people a game. It was just a very tough situation for all the players there. We were stumbling right out of the gate, win a game, lose two, win a game, lose three, that type of scenario.
On the whirlwind day of Dec. 11:
About five minutes later, Craig Patrick called and said Larry Murphy and I are coming to Pittsburgh. It was like 12:30, we had a 3 o'clock flight, so we had to just take whatever duffle bags we could find, throw as much stuff as I could in them. The trainers met us at the airport with our hockey gear at 5:30, got to the rink at 6 and played at 7:30. It wasn't time to think.
On playing with Paul Coffey:
We got to the rink. Rick Paterson, the assistant coach, picked us up at the airport and we got right to the rink, probably about 6:15 or so. We got all our gear in there. They came in and said, Bob Johnson wants to talk to you, so I walked in. We just started talking for about five minutes. He said, 'I need someone to play with Paul Coffey on the right side. Can you do it?' I said, yeah, I played on the right side in Winnipeg. So it made a very easy transition. He said, OK, that's it. That was the end of that. Right away, you knew if he was going to be on the ice, he was going to be behind Mario's line. It's one of those, bang bang, you're playing with the best player in the world. It was a very, very strange but a great transition.
On playing with Mario Lemieux:
I played against him a couple times, maybe a half dozen times or so in Winnipeg. We didn't play the East that much in those days. Obviously, you saw him play, you saw him play in the Canada Cup series, you knew everything he could do. But it's funny, everything he does in a game, the stuff he does in practice wows you even more because it was day in and day out. When he got back playing, it took him a while to get his full stride in, once he got back and they made the next trade to send Johnny Cullen and Zarley (Zalapski) away and picked up Ronnie (Francis) and Ulfie (Samuelsson) and Grant Jennings, everything just kind of clicked. You could see (Mario) getting stronger and stronger, and his skills obviously never diminished, just game shape-wise, it took a little bit, and once he did, it was full bore ahead.
On suffering a collapsed lung in Edmonton:
The puck actually went cross crease into the corner, and I was skating, cutting in front of the goal, and I just got blind-sided. It was in like the first six minutes of the game. All of a sudden, it was like, whoa, you knew you were hurt and I didn't know what it was. I figured it was a bruise, no big deal, get up and go. So I kept playing and as the game wore on, it got harder to breathe. Maybe halfway through the third period, I looked at the trainer and said I can't breathe anymore. So they took me to the locker room. The doctor checked it out, and he said we've got to get you to the hospital, something's wrong. So I get to the hospital and the strength coach John Welday went with me in the cab. They took an X-ray, and they said your lung's collapsed. They told me what they wanted to do, and I said let me talk to the trainer just to make sure everybody's on the same page. That was probably a half hour after the game got over I talked to the trainer and they said they wanted to stick a needle in my chest to let the excess air out of the chest cavity. He said, yeah, yeah, have them do it. Once they took the air out, the lung collapsed even further. It was probably only working a quarter of the capacity, so they had to call the trainer back and say something happened, because they had to keep me here because I can't fly, they told me I can't do anything until they cut me in the side of the chest and stick this tube in and just poke your lung and put you on this machine that's like a little briefcase that blew your lung back up over a certain amount of time. So I was actually up there for about three days. They had me in intensive care, but it wasn't that bad. They had me there until it filled up enough that I could fly. Probably after about four days, I flew back to Pittsburgh.
Everybody knew I was fine. The Edmonton Oilers' trainers came by all the time, they called all the time to make sure if I needed anything. Once I got back, little kids see you come in the door and they want to jump on you. You're like, whoa, wait a minute. I've got kind of a cracked rib. It's all par for the course and you just go about your business as a dad and try to get back to playing.
On getting hit in the foot by Washington's Calle Johansson in the playoffs:
It hit me right in the top of the foot, right where you tie your skates. Once you put pressure on it, there's no meat at the top of your foot, so it's nothing but bone, and once you bruise that, it's hard to pad it because there's really nothing there to cushion it. You couldn't tie your skates, you couldn't do anything.
On the unusual solutions to his foot injury:
Skip Thayer, who was the medical trainer, we tried everything. We had all kinds of foams in the locker room — big foam, thin foam, high-density foam — so we tried everything, cutting doughnuts into it, and nothing seemed to work. The Canadian ski team sent this foam they used for the ski boots that the same thing happens. We call it lace bit where you get real raw right at the top there, where it starts cutting your skin. They have that with ski boots, so they have this special foam they use, and they thought that might work, and it didn't. NASA sent something, some foam they used with astronauts, and that didn't work. So we're sitting there and Skip was saying, 'When I was in Chicago as a trainer, Al Secord had some real bad lace bite like that, and they tried to figure stuff out. And they experimented with peanut butter. So all of a sudden, boom, hey, we'll try this. And it worked. We had a baggie, taped it up, so I was able to tie my skates.
On the team's defense:
I think any time when you have a high-scoring offense and the offensive guys on the team, your defense is going to be looked at as secondary. With our goalies, when Tommy (Barrasso) was playing, we didn't spend a whole lot of time in our defensive end, he was able to get the puck and fire it out and away you go, so the less time you spend in your end, the more you're going to spend in the offensive end. Tommy was playing outstanding at the time, and the times he couldn't play, Frankie (Pietrangelo) stepped in and he won a couple games for us. That's what backup goalies do, they're a different breed, they get put in under pressure. It's like, a lot of times when Mario wasn't playing, the team played a little differently because you knew you didn't have him in the lineup, and you had to play a little tighter game. Once you get to the playoffs, your defense ramps up anyway. Your forwards come back farther in the zone, they're a little more aggressive in their back-check, and it throws the other team off what they want to do. Once everybody starts playing together, you get confidence that anything can happen. The next thing you know, everybody starts playing well; guys were hurt and guys step up their play.
On being a Massachusetts native playing the Bruins in the playoffs:
Once we found out we were playing, back then there were no cell phones, they hadn't really come out yet, so your house phone was ringing off the wall. Once you roll into a city, you sit there and say all right, you got to get some rest, and then you worry about crank calls and all that kind of stuff. You kind of pick and choose who you're going to call back because it's very, very hard to accommodate everybody and you hate saying no to people, so you have to say that you couldn't get the phone call. There's a lot of times where it's people like, I'm a friend of so-and-so, who's a friend of so-and-so, and he thought you might be able to get some tickets. You don't even know this person, and they're going to call you anyway.
On playing Minnesota in the Stanley Cup Finals:
That was more disappointment, and I think it turned to bitter afterwards. When I was in Winnipeg, we were all right, we were a pretty decent team. But we were with the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers in their heyday. You really didn't get a sniff at the end result that you wanted, which is to make a run for the Cup. Then you get to Minnesota and the Norris Division. At the time, the Norris Division wasn't the elite, it was probably the fourth of the four divisions as far as the teams, their winning and their notoriety and all that kind of stuff. So you go there and Winnipeg treated you unbelievable, it was like you were part of their family and they just rolled out the red carpet the way they'd help you out. The owner's in the locker room talking to you, the GM was always around. It was a great atmosphere, and we had a good bunch of guys that really liked each other and cared. If somebody bought a house and they were going to put sod down for a lawn, the whole team would show up and help out. And you get to Minnesota, hardly anybody talked to anybody. The GM was Bobby Clarke at the time, and he was probably the most non-friendly person that you'd ever want to meet in your life. He just could care less about anything. Then you have Bob Gainey, who I respect as a player, never smiled, never talked to anybody. He had assistant coaches who all they would do is yell and scream. It was just a bad atmosphere, and then you don't win, and it makes it even worse. When you do something everyday, seven days a week and there's no holidays, there's no vacations, you've got to want to be there all the time, and it just made it very tough. All of a sudden, when Bobby Clarke called and said, 'Hey, we traded you. Craig Patrick's calling you. Bye,' boom, and hung the phone up. The whole thing just turned your stomach on professional sports in a whole. Fortunately, it was just the organization because you get here in Pittsburgh, boom, it's totally different, just like it was in Winnipeg. They treated you great, they were nice, they'd do anything for you, they were friendly. It just made it that much easier when you had to get moved again for the second time in two months.
On the differences between Bob Johnson and Bob Gainey:
And from Bobby Clarke to Craig Patrick. I mean, totally different, from the way they thought, to the way they acted, to the way they talked to you. Bob Gainey was a very defensive-minded guy, no nonsense. You couldn't even crack a joke in practice without them staring at you like they wanted to take your head off. Then I got here, and Bob Johnson's one of those guys who never yelled, never swore. You lose 6-1 and he'd find something positive to say about what you did do in the game. It was very totally different styles and personalities, and if you watch that season, even after I got traded, (the Penguins) were still kind of stumbling along, winning games, losing games, winning games, losing games. But all of a sudden, you see in February, we started winning and playing a better brand of hockey. You get more excited and the momentum started to pick up. Then all of a sudden, it clicks and this guy really means what he's saying, he doesn't get mad. You're waiting for him to blow up at you, and he never did. This guy is really true to what he says, and you start buying more and more into the philosophies. He really didn't bother you, if you were down 4-1, there was never any panic on the bench, never any panic in anybody's voice, oh, we'll come back and win. That confidence just grew in you in winning those games all the time.
On recording two assists in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals:
Goal 1: It was off a faceoff. I came out to meet it at the middle of the ice, everybody was just charging on me so I just threw a little pass to Ulfie (Samuelsson). Ulfie was just trying to get it on net, just a little wrist shot. Everybody was just charging to the front of the net, it got right by Jon Casey, who never even saw it. And we were off and running.
Goal 3: I brought it up the ice. There was a turnover in the neutral zone. I brought it into the middle of the ice, and I took a shot and it got blocked. And I got the thing back, and Joey (Mullen) was going down on my left-hand side, so I just laid it out there for him. He was a right-handed shot and he just one-timed it. My part of it was very nondescript, but Joey was one of those goal scorers that if he had two inches to shoot in, the puck would just turn on its edge and find its way in the net. He had that knack doing it. All of a sudden, it's like, wow, I can't believe we're up like this in the clinching game. Everything kind of just snowballed for us. No matter what Minnesota did, they couldn't get anything started.
On the third period of Game 6:
There were like 12 minutes left in the period and it was 8-0, and it just dragged. If you watch the game, everybody's shifts were like 20 seconds long. It was dump the puck out, get off the ice. It was unbelievable. I would say the last 12 minutes were the longest period I've been around in my life.Additional Information:

According to a recent article, Apple's clean image has recently taken a hit after The New York Times reported about the conditions in which some of the factories of its Chinese network have been found.
The employees building the iPad, iPhone and similar devices, labor in very harsh conditions. Reportedly the employees work extremely excessive overtime, they're often required to work everyday and many live in crowded dorms. Reports have been given that workers stand so long that their legs swell to a point where they can no longer stand.
One former Apple executive was quoted as to saying:
"We've known about labor abuses in some factories for four years, and they're still going on, why? Because the system works for us. Suppliers would change everything tomorrow if Apple told them they didn't have another choice."
On the other hand many Chinese residents feel that Apple's presence in their country is positive. They feel that if it weren't for the company, the morale of the people would be much worse.
Recently a few Chinese residents were asked about the conditions of Apple's factories, here are a few of their translated comments.
"Apple is definitely a vampire factory. But if you boycott Apple, what would those workers eat without demand (for Apple products)? By then they would even lose their job!"
"If people saw what kind of life workers lived before they found a job at Foxconn, they would come to an opposite conclusion of this story: that Apple is such a philanthropist."
"Without Apple, Chinese workers will be worse off. I hope China can some day soon have dozens of its own companies like Apple, who (only) work on high-end research and development and send manufacturing lines to Africa."

Caledonia Argus
Too much, too soon. That pretty much describes the atmosphere at Thursday night's Class 1AA girl's section championship game at the Mayo Civic Center between Pine Island and Caledonia.
The scenario was nothing new to the Warriors and coach Jimmy Westland. In December the Panthers jumped out to an 11-0 lead early, but the Warriors stormed back and cruised to a 52-42 win at Pine Island.
Not Thursday. This was a different Pine Island team. With four different players scoring in double figures and utilizing a defense that wouldn't allow the Warriors to get into any kind of a rhythm, Pine Island rolled to a 59-45 win over the Warriors and earned their first trip to the state tournament at 6 p.m. tonight, March 13.
Just like the meeting in December Caledonia fell behind early, but this time they couldn't get back in the game.
The Warriors missed their first 11 shots and fell behind 13-0 before a 3-pointer from Taylor Winjum got Caledonia on the board with 11:56 to play in the first half. It was a tough, physical game, and the Panthers used their size to their advantage. On several occasions Winjum, or Maddy Mullins or Lauren Rusert, or whoever was driving to the basket for Caledonia, ended up on the floor while Pine Island headed down the court with the ball.
Nicole Fokken, at 6'2", along with 6'1" Sam Heeren and 5'11" Mattie Shelton, controlled the paint the entire game and also gave the Warriors problems when she – Fokken – scored 14 points. Heeren added 10 more. Pine Island also got a game-high 15 points from Cede Finstuen and 11 more from point guard Alison Newton.
"We had a slow start and we ran out of time," said Caledonia coach Jimmy Westland, who guided the Warriors to a 22-8 record in his first year as head coach. "We teach them to fight through everything. We are teaching them that it's bigger than the sport. We're with these kids a lot, and we're trying to teach them about life, and I feel we're doing a good job. This seems big right now and it is big to us but hopefully they'll look back and say you know what? We fought through some tough times that season."
Mullins hit another 3-pointer at the 9:25 mark but the Panthers still led 19-6. Mullins hit two more baskets and finished the first half with a team-high seven points, her second jumper keeping Caledonia within sight at 26-14.
But the Panthers scored the final four points of the half and took a 30-14 lead into the break.
"Early on we were shooting and they weren't going in. We were driving and there was a lot of contact and they weren't calling it, but that's just the way it is," Westland said. "Pine Island is a great team; they deserve to go where they are going."
Caledonia started the second half with a spark, cutting the lead to single digits after Winjum, Rusert and Maria Doering hit back-to-back-to-back three's to cut the Pine Island lead to 32-23, but the Panthers answered with a 7-2 run to push the lead back to 39-25 on a free throw from Finstuen after Hannah Russert was called for her third foul.
With 9:17 left Fruechte scored to make it 41-30 but again the Panthers answered with five straight points to extend the lead to 46-30 on a trey from Heeren with 7:22 to play. Winjum hit a three on Caledonia's next possession to keep the lead at 13 points, and a basket from Mullins trimmed the lead to 11 at 50-39 with 3:50 to go.
A jumper from Winjum and another 3-pointer from Mullins again got the Warriors within single digits at 53-44, but with only 45 seconds to play the Warriors would get no closer and the Panthers scored their last six points from the free throw line to seal the win.
"A very good season for the kids," Westland said. "State runner-up in volleyball and then to get to the section championship tells you a lot about our kids. We went through a stretch in January where we lost like six games and we just kept fighting through it and never got negative attitudes. They're just great kids in general."
The Warriors finished the season with a 22-8 record. Winjum led the Warriors with 15 points in her final game for Caledonia. Maria Fruechte added seven points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist. Maddy Mullins, also in her final game, added 13 points, three rebounds and three steals. Hannah Russert, the other of the four seniors, also ended her basketball career for the Warriors. Marie Doering scored seven points, and Lauren Rusert added three in the loss.
Caledonia 14 31 — 45
Pine Island 30 29 — 59
CALEDONIA (22-8): Fruechte 7, Mullins 11, L. Rusert 3, Winjum 17, Doering 7.
PINE ISLAND (25-6): Newton 11, Finstuen 16, Fokken 13, Heeren 12, Shelton 2, Langworthy 5.

Drupal 7 total language fallback
Reasons for language fallback
Let's assume you have a website divided by countries. The site structure is:
- Global (en, de, fr)
- Germany (de)
- France (fr)
- Switzerland (de, fr)
You have your content translated to three languages. Normally, this works, but there could be cases when you need languages per country. Words might have a slightly different meaning from country to country (examples) or spelling might be different (en-US vs en-GB, or using "ß" in de-DE vs "ss" in de-CH). Or, for example, the "Contact us" page can contain a country specific information - locations.
So, the site structure can be turned to:
- Global (en, de, fr)
- Germany (de-DE)
- France (fr-FR)
- Switzerland (de-CH, fr-CH)
This can bring a translation nightmare until you have a language fallback ;)
Having the language fallback, you would only translate strings/content to the "base" languages and, in special cases, you may also translate to "country" languages.
Fortunately, there is a module for that. The Language fallback.
Language fallback 7.x-1.x
The first version of the module provides language fallback only for locale strings (strings that are passed through the t() function). After the module installation, you can find the "Language fallback" option at the language edit form.
If a string translation is missing for the de-CH language, the translation from the fallback language (de) will be used in this case.
How the locale fallback works
There is a strings override feature in Drupal 7 core. Basically, you can define translations for some strings via variables. For example, you can put something like that into your settings.php file:
$conf['locale_custom_strings_de-CH']['']['Home'] = 'Startseite';
While this possibility is used really rarely, the Language fallback module transforms it into the real power. It saves instances of the localeWithFallback class to locale_custom_strings_* variables. The localeWithFallback implements ArrayAccess, thus it can return string translations automagically.
Language fallback 7.x-2.x
We also want to have the language fallback for our content translated via the Entity Translation module. The second version of the Language fallback module provides this feature.
This option enables the translation fallback for entities on the field level. For example, if an entity does not have a certain field translated to the de-CH language, the de translation of this field will be used for the entity rendering.
How the entity translation fallback works
Actually, this ability is provided by the core Locale module. The Language fallback module just hooks into the process.
Here is the call stack describing how it works:
- field_language()
- hook_field_language_alter()
- locale_field_language_alter()
- locale_field_language_fallback()
- language_fallback_get_candidates()
- hook_language_fallback_candidates_alter()
- language_fallback_language_fallback_candidates_alter()
The last function does the job.
Language fallback chains
That's another feature only available from language fallback 7.x-2.x.
Now, on the language edit form, you can define several fallback languages in a particular order.
Language fallback 7.x-2.x-amazee
If you try to use the language-per-country workflow with the Language fallback module, the first thing you'll miss is the i18n support. The Internationalization module helps us to deal with the translation of menu links, field labels, panels, etc. So, we started work in this direction and have prepared a patch.
After the patch was tested, we found that it would be quite useful to have the fallback information displayed right on the translation overview pages. We implemented this feature, too.
We've submitted a patch containing both improvements to #2322883: Add support for i18n strings.
After using the new overview pages for some time, we decided to also improve the entity translation overview pages, since it improves the usability for content editors.
This developed into another patch #2444203: Show fallback information on the translation overview. This time, for the Entity translation module. (Be sure to enable the "Show fallback statuses on overview pages" checkbox on the admin/config/regional/entity_translation page after you have applied the patch.)
Language fallback for path aliases
There was an issue we have met implementing language fallback on our projects. The Pathauto module only generates aliases for the existing node translations. To fill that gap we have created the Path alias force module. It forces creation of aliases for all languages. Furthermore, it supports language_fallback, so aliases respect the fallback rules which is nice.
Total language fallback
Having all these patches applied, we have the complete solution for the language fallback on Drupal 7 websites. Now the language-per-country workflow can be used for real projects.
BTW. If you don't want to apply patches, you can use the Amazee Labs repositories which contain all required changes:
Let us know if you have any issues!

"The Internalization module"
While there may well be a need for this function, I think you mean Internationalization.
Tanks Adam! Fixed now :)
FYI the Entity Translation has been committed :)
Alex, to translate Drupal strings, you can also use the software localization tool https://poeditor.com/
Amazing tutorial! How about moving the path_alias_force module as a contrib module on drupal.org?

Fantasy Focus
The Kiddie Cavalry
Last week I looked at where each team stood with regard to the playoffs, and what that might mean for how they manage their big league roster over the season's final two months. One hallmark of August and September, for teams that are either out of the race, barely hanging in it, or who live and die by the fruits of their farm systems, is late-season auditions for top prospects. The recent promotions of Conor Jackson and Felix Hernandez were just the first of many golden tickets to the majors that will get handed out in the coming weeks.
Most fantasy owners don't need to be told to go get a Hernandez or Jackson though, assuming they're even available and not already squirreled away on someone else's reserve list. Below are some of the lesser lights who, from a fantasy perspective, might end up having just as much of an impact as the bigger names--and will certainly come a lot cheaper.

Jon Pahl, Ph.D.
Barack Obama has already issued his important, eloquent, and historic speech on race here in Philadelphia. In it, he carefully and clearly defends Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. from the unfair treatment his former pastor has received in recent days. At the same time, Obama beautifully stakes out a higher road than Rev. Wright's admittedly inflammatory rhetoric.
But it would be a mistake to overlook the dynamics that led to the focus on Rev. Wright in the first place. After all, it's Holy Week. Lynching time. And the recent treatment of Rev. Wright demonstrates to a perfect "T" the scapegoating, exaggeration, and violence Christians remember in this sacred season. It would be ironic if it weren't so tragic.
The right wing press first "broke" the story of Rev. Wright's supposed "anti-Americanism" and "anti-Semitism." Sean Hannity started the mob moving. But the mainstream press, without any apparent critical thinking or additional homework, simply accepted the Willie Horton film-clips. Even a little research might have suggested that Rev. Wright was a slightly more complex figure than the sound bites suggested.
I first learned of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. through research for my book Youth Ministry in Modern America. What I discovered is that the program for young people at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago (then led by Rev. Wright) was extraordinarily creative and comprehensive. Youth at Rev. Wright's church were not treated as some sort of idealized "future," segregated off into some separate sphere. They were fully woven into the fabric of the congregation. They participated in the church through teaching, preaching, rites of passage, and the whole range of being a Christian and a citizen. If you want to understand Barack Obama's extraordinary appeal to young people, it wouldn't hurt to start with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
A great strength of the Black Church since its inception has been the ability of congregations to link sacred with secular concerns. This linkage was necessary to protect African Americans from a brutally oppressive society. And anyone who thinks this oppression is over has not looked at economic or prison statistics lately--as Obama's speech makes patently clear. For all of the success of the Civil Rights Movement, racial inequality that exacts real suffering in the lives of African Americans continues to be a fundamental problem in American society.
Consequently, Rev. Wright has been a tireless advocate for social justice. The list of "ministries" on the web site for Trinity United Church of Christ runs to five pages. Active Seniors and Friends Ministry, Drug and Alcohol Recovery Ministry, HIV/AIDS Ministry, Legal Counseling, Prison Ministry--and much more constitute what's really going on at Trinity United Church of Christ. Anyone can see with a little research that these ministries serve "the least among us," and thereby serve the entire society. They are faith-based activism at its best. And as Obama's speech clarifies, that's why such a church was attractive to him, not because of some supposed anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism of the pastor with which he is now being "associated."
Rev. Wright's comments about state-sponsored terrorism, 9/11, and the violence of U.S. policies toward Palestinians are hardly unique to him. Noam Chomsky has said the same thing. "The current U.S. leadership is . . . quite frankly and openly committed to the use of violence to control the world," Chomsky said in a May 21, 2002 interview. And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his famous Riverside Church speech against the Vietnam War, lamented that "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government."
To assert, then, with the Rev. Wright that America has a violent history is not a radical or anti-American "perspective." It's a fact. The violence that built this nation is evident to anyone without a blinkered nationalist view of history--from the Native American removals, through slavery, to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction, to Iraq.
As many commentators have pointed out, Rev. Wright's passionate remarks fit well into the long history of Judeo-Christian prophetic preaching. After all, the rabbi Jesus was not a nationalist. Any Christian who tries to make him into a pro-American patriot misses the rather significant detail that the Roman Empire found it expedient to put him to death. Jeremiah Wright has incarnated the prophetic tradition that calls nations to be accountable to God. In that context, even his statement "God-damn America" makes sense. Prophets say such things. God is beyond any nation. And when a nation doesn't treat its people justly, then prophets resort to the rhetoric of divine damnation to try to change the people of a nation.
So, in the end, Rev. Wright is neither anti-American nor anti-Semitic. He does tell the truth about American violence--out of love for the nation's best ideals. He is unapologetically a Christian. He is unashamedly Black.
Those are features to admire, not condemn. Such loyalties to one's particularity, as Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has argued in The Dignity of Difference, can uplift us all and strengthen the social fabric. The proof of that is in the hope inspired by the Obama campaign. Such hope is founded in the faith, integrity, and courage--despite human flaws, of a man like the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
That such faith-based hope would inspire fear on the part of some in our society is no surprise. What is surprising is that the mainstream press so uncritically joined the mob.

STEPHANOPOULOS: And you're- and President Putin has become your unlikely partner in this. And, you know, even in this op-ed, which has stirred up a lot of controversy here in United States, he said, "There's every reason to believe that the rebels are the ones who used the chemical weapons." So does that tell you he's willing to lie to protect Assad?
OBAMA: Well, nobody around the world takes seriously the idea that the rebels- were the perpetrators of this—
STEPHANOPOULOS: He wrote it in The New York Times.
OBAMA: Well, I understand. What I said is nobody around the world takes seriously the idea that the rebels perpetrated this attack. Now what is true is that there are radical elements in the opposition- including folks who are affiliated with al-Qaeda, who, if they got their hands on chemical weapons, would have no compunction using them in Syria or outside of Syria. And part of the reason why we've been so concerned about this chemical weapons- issue is because we don't want- those folks gettin' chemical weapons, anymore than we want Assad to have chemical weapons. And so the best solution is for us to get them out of there. But- with respect to Mr. Putin- I have said consistently that where the interest of the United States and Russia converge, we need to work together. And I had talked to Mr. Putin a year ago- saying to him- the United States and Russia should work together to deal with these chemical weapons stockpiles, and to work to try to bring about a political transition-
