A Word of Welcome from the Vicar:
Thank you for visiting our website. Just on the outskirts of Gravesend in Kent, there has been a church in Chalk for well over a thousand years and it would be lovely to welcome you in person one day. We have associations both literary and biographical with Charles Dickens and we are also popular for weddings, baptisms (also often called christenings) and other important family events. At our best I hope that we offer more than just a lovely and historic wedding venue! We are certainly not perfect but I hope that we are at least trying to make everyone welcome.
We are a part of the Church of England and officially we are called St Mary the Virgin, Chalk but we are often known simply as St Mary's, Chalk or even just Chalk Church and we aim to be known as a church at the heart of our community. In any event, the church here is more than just a building. Through our worship and the life of our members, day by day and as a church family, we aim to be a channel of God's healing love and to witness to a faith in Jesus Christ that is as relevant today as it has always been.
Each Sunday more than a hundred people come to our services and we make a particular point of trying to be welcoming to families and children of all ages. Our services, especially at 10.30am have a varied pattern and include elements of relatively traditional and relatively modern styles of worship. There is usually something for everyone. The services aim to help us sense the nearness and the greatness of God providing us with a balance of comfort and challenge.
A charity in our own right with a concern for the whole parish, we also help other charities, near and far, and not least the Hands of Compassion school in Zambia. Further information, details of service times and various contacts are available by clicking on the relevant links opposite but please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help.

In the meantime, wherever you are, God bless you!

Sue's Views: Can we tempt young people to stay?
From the time I was 5 until I was 11 years old, my sister and I shared a bedroom. There was one, full-sized bed with a fuzzy sticker directly in the middle of the headboard. That was meant to settle the 'whose half you're on' battles in the middle of the night without having to turn on the light and get Mom involved. We originally were going to sew something onto the mattress, but Mom caught wind of that brilliant idea and put the kibosh on it.
My sister and I had little in common. I had Shaun Cassidy posters on my walls while she was past that stage in her life. I had a collection of stuffed animals, including a ratty stuffed donkey that I had won from a department store in town. She was pretty sparse in her decorations for the room. Plus, she was pretty good at hiding her clothes so I couldn't wear them.
Every day when I woke up, I prayed that today would be the day I get a room to myself. I swore that when I got to choose, I would not live within three states of my sister.
I am now significantly older and for the past 15 years, have lived within three blocks of my sister. And I kinda like it. Three blocks is plenty of room and close enough all at the same time.
What do you know, I have different tastes and priorities now than when I was 11.
I'm thinking about this as I watch the U-Hauls and trailers of all sizes back up to rental houses throughout Morris this week, loading up the college students to take their next adventure.
I wonder where those bright young people are going and whether they will ever consider moving back to Morris.
Later in the day, as I get the mail, I think again about who will be living in Morris in another ten years. You see, every day brings a mailbox full of information from colleges across the nation, hoping my son will decide his future starts with them.
So far, he has many ideas of what he'd like to do after high school but hasn't really settled on a course of action. But he does know that he wants to get out of Morris.
Will he consider moving back when he gets whatever degree he finally decides on? As his mother, it's hard to predict. I'm much more concerned presently with making sure he can take care of himself wherever he goes. And yes, son, learning to fold a fitted sheet is one of the skills I consider essential.
But the question remains, can we as a rural community tempt any of the young people who are graduating this spring to think of Morris as the place they will live and work as adults?
There was a meeting recently to look at the challenges Morris is facing and this loss of young people was discussed. One of the suggestions was for local businesses to focus on the valedictorians and provide financial assistance for their education as an incentive for them to return to Morris when they've finished school.
That is a very workable solution, but the challenge is that there is usually only one valedictorian each year. We're going to need a few more young adults than that to see any significant change.
The good news for Morris is that we have 300 young adults getting their Bachelor of Arts degrees today, largely without our help.
How many of them might like to live and work in Morris? Have we asked them?

I may be the first reporter to ever say this, but I thought Tommy Lee Jones was a great interview.
I recently spoke with the notoriously surly Oscar winner to discuss his latest foray into dramatizing history's most interesting men: Playing General Douglas MacArthur in "Emperor".
Part thriller, part love story, and part historical drama, the film begins at the conclusion of World War II in the ruins of Japan, where MacArthur is serving as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers. Sporting a personality big enough to match that title, MacArthur is tasked with the enormous undertaking of steering Japan back from devastation and guiding the country towards becoming a thriving democracy.
MacArthur faces the difficult decision of whether or not to try Japan's revered Emperor Hirohito with war crimes -- an offense punishable by hanging. Such an act could easily unhinge not only the recovery efforts, but also the fragile peace. To investigate the best course of action, MacArthur turns to his attaché, Brigadier General Bonner Fellers, played by Matthew Fox.
Sitting across from Jones, his penetrating glare seemingly dissecting my existential worth, it's easy to see how a man of such obvious gravitas landed the role. As Jones sank his chopsticks into his Japanese breakfast, he spoke to me about the complexities of MacArthur's world-altering decision, how much fiction is allowed in fact-based films, and his definition of fun.
"Emperor" opens today in limited release.
[Related: Local Tickets and Showtimes for 'Emperor']
Adam Pockross: Actually my first research paper ever was written about Douglas MacArthur.
Tommy Lee Jones: What did you learn?
AP: I remember that he had a formidable mother…
TLJ: Yes, she went to West Point with him.
AP: Right! Pinky. I remember that because it was the first time I ever learned the word formidable. So what did you learn about Douglas MacArthur doing your research that surprised you?
TLJ: I was surprised to learn the significant role that he played in the character of life in the 21st Century. He labored very hard to keep the Emperor alive because he didn't want to break the back of Japanese society. He knew what would happen if the politicians who were in the United States had their way, the politicians who were elected by people, they were clamoring for the Emperor's blood but he had no -- they didn't have anybody to kill or punish, no leader of state. They couldn't kill Mussolini. They couldn't kill Hitler. They wanted to kill somebody.
And those politicians had to respond to those people, and if MacArthur had allowed them to have their way, the Japanese society would've collapsed. The war would have gone on and on and on. There would've been an utter chaos, uncontrollable, certainly more easily controllable by Joseph Stalin than Harry Truman. Because Stalin was right there. And what would the world be like if we left a vacuum in Japan and the Russian communists had filled it? What would the world be like today? It would be far worse place than it is.
So I was a little surprised and fascinated to come to an understanding of just how important that man was to history and to what our world looks like even today, all these years later.
AP: In that regard, it's quite surprising that we don't hear more about it, that we haven't heard this particular story told before.
TLJ: Yeah. I think it's certainly a worthwhile of story that needs to be thought about.
AP: When you're researching a historical figure, which you have obviously done before to great acclaim, is your approach different with Thaddeus Stevens, where there was no record of the man -- video or audio -- versus MacArthur, who does that record?
[Related: Tommy Lee Jones sheds light on Thaddeus Stevens]
TLJ: Well, I think it differs every time I go to work. Yeah, it does. The way a character works within the context of a screenplay is more important than making a photographic record of what somebody looked like. There are records of Stevens. There have been three biographies with him. One of them is readable. And there are pictures. I mean he has been studied by historians.
AP: I'm sure thanks to you people will read more.
TLJ: Well, that would be a good thing.
AP: So you say you go by the screenplay and how it fits the story, but are there aspects of MacArthur's character outside of the screenplay that you cling to and stuff that you discard?
TLJ: Anything you can learn about a historical character can help you decide how to walk and how to talk and what the character feels like -- how to physicalize your reading. Nothing that a person clings to. If you want to impersonate MacArthur, you better cling to a corncob pipe and some aviator sunglasses and a campaign cap with a lot of fruit salad on it. That's about as close as I got to looking -- to impersonating his character physically. He had a habit of putting his hands on his hips, otherwise I don't bear a resemblance to Douglas MacArthur at all.
AP: Well beyond that, the physical though into how you actually play him as a man, as a force of nature, which I think you deliver, how do you get in touch with that?
[Related: An illustration of the tight-lipped Mr. Jones]
TLJ: Just read the books and think about it. It's not much more complicated than that.
AP: In your thought process what do you think about when you're approaching a character like that?
TLJ: A variety of things: You think about his relationship with his wife, his childhood in the Philippines, and his time at West Point, his relationship with his mother and his father, what his parents were like, what they did, his grandfather.
AP: Quite a life he lived. He was born to be a hero, right?
TLJ: He certainly was and did not disappoint in my view.
AP: It's a question that has come up a lot lately and in this it's interesting because you're dealing with the facts and with the admittedly imagined portion of the film, the love story. But when you're dealing with a fact based film, how much fiction do you think is allowed or necessary?
TLJ: I don't think there are any rules or any way to quantify what dose of fiction in historical drama is allowed? I suppose that's the author's license. There are historians who will argue that Richard III was really not all that bad a guy.
[Related: Matthew Fox Talks History, Gridiron Glory & Bonding with Tommy Lee Jones on 'Emperor']
AP: Yeah, Shakespeare had his way with history a bit. Do you have a preference for how to balance history and drama?
TLJ: No. I don't have a preference. There are no rules that I know of.
AP: Well, rules aside, are there ways to benefit the story, or to benefit humanity even? Like say with "Argo," they got the point across, you get the story. And I felt like I was in history lesson with "Lincoln".
TLJ: Oh, good.
AP: Yeah. But a really good history lesson that I could actually pay attention to.
TLJ: Yeah. And that you can believe.
AP: Right. And then when I went and did my research, I definitely believed it, even if the Senator from Connecticut said something else.
TLJ: Yeah. They got that wrong and the people from Connecticut are up in arms, feel that they've been maligned -- some of them anyway.
AP: 'Emperor' is primarily a thriller. What is the trick to keeping the thriller aspect taut?
TLJ: A good screenplay.
AP: What attracted you to this screenplay?
TLJ: I love New Zealand and I love Japan and the more I read about MacArthur the more interested I got in being part of the project.
AP: So the first readings, what was your impression?
TLJ: This could be a lot of fun was my first impression.
AP: And what is fun for Tommy Lee Jones?
TLJ: In terms of movies?
AP: In terms of how you choose your work?
TLJ: Good locations, good subject matter, interesting subject matter, good screenplay, a well organized company, just the usual. That's what I'd call fun.
[Related: View clips and trailers from 'Emperor']
AP: How did you enjoy working with Matthew Fox?
TLJ: He's a good guy and a good actor and we have some things in common and we both like to go fishing.
AP: Did you guys do that together in New Zealand?
TLJ: No. His dad came to visit him and he took his dad fishing. I had a week off at one point. I went down to the South Island and went fishing in Fiordlands National Park and that was a thrill.
AP: And one other thing you have in common with Matthew Fox is Gridiron Glory in the Ivy League?
TLJ: That's right. He was a receiver. I think a receiver for Columbia.
AP: What position did you play?
TLJ: I was an offensive lineman. But at a different place.
AP: Harvard. I've heard that's a good school. Mr. Jones, it's been a great pleasure.
TLJ: Okay. Thank you for coming by, I do appreciate it.

PARENTS, TEACH YOUR children etiquette. I received six wedding invitations and six graduation cards, in which I responded to all. Do you know that I have only received one thank you note? Shame on you!
DOES ANYBODY HAVE a number of a good ear doctor? My ears are hurting from all the loud car commercials. The damage is done before you can flip the channel.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT and grateful rave for Scott, the biker who stopped last Friday in Edgefield County on a trail as I was hiking. I really needed assistance. He took the time to help me get back to my automobile at the trail head. This is an important thing for other hikers and bikers to do. I don't know what I would have done without him even though I had already phoned and told someone what was going on. And thanks to my cell phone carrier for being able to reach me down in the woods. Thanks again to Scott.
WHAT A CULTURAL wasteland Augusta is. One of the worst - if not the worst - school systems in the state. A dysfunctional government. The ballet had to close. And now the bookmobile is going. Is there no end to ignorance in this city?
I READ A COUPLE of articles in the newspaper in which the writers were surprised that people knew so little about geography. Many people don't even know where Mexico is. The reason is elementary. They quit teaching it in school. I think everybody ought to know geography.

Richard Bostwick Reminiscences
Welfare Office Stories
Cab Driving Stories
Prohibition Stories
Occupational Hazard
One morning about 2:00 a.m. the dispatcher sent me to a roadhouse which was about 5 miles outside of town. This place was fairly new, even though it had not been open very long it was already drawing some pretty good crowds. When I pulled up to the front entrance, the place was just getting ready to close for the night. I got out of my cab to locate my fare when a young, good-looking girl came out and informed me that she was the one who had called my cab.
I put her in the back seat, and as I closed the door, a fellow came out and asked me if he, too, could have a ride into town. I told him that the young lady in the backseat already hired my cab, and it was up to her if she cared to share the cab with him. After getting consent, he climbed in beside her.
I was just pulling away when two fellows came running over and they, too, wanted a ride to town. The place by this time was closed. The lights in the parking lot area were being turned out and everyone had left except my two passengers and these other two fellows.
Again, the lady agreed to share the cab. One of these fellows got in the back seat and the other got in front with me. As we were nearing town, I heard the girl tell one of her fellow passengers to behave and keep his hands to himself. We did not have much further to go, and as I did not hear any further complaint from the lady, I proceeded on my way.
It so happened that all three of my male passengers were stopping at the Graver Hotel, which was one of the better hotels in town at that time. I pulled up at the side entrance of the hotel on Roberts Street and the two men who were together got out. The paid me their fare and went into the lobby. I stood by the open door of my cab waiting for the single fellow to get out, but he was busy trying to talk the young girl into coming up to his room for a night cap.
He was not that good of a salesman, for the girl would have no part of him. As they continued to argue (at least he did), I closed the cab door, went to my seat and was waiting for him to make up his mind. Finally he said, "Take us for a little ride." Seeing as the girl did not object, I proceeded down the street toward the residential section of town.
I had traveled only a couple of blocks when the girl cried out, "Driver! Driver! Help me!" I immediately pulled over to the curb and told the fellow to get out. He then apologized and, saying he was sorry and would I please take him back to the hotel. I turned around and drove him back.
I double-parked, got out and went around my cab to open the door for him-not that he deserved the courtesy, it was just habit on my part. By the time I got around the cab, this fellow had already gotten out and was on his way to the hotel entrance. I called for him to wait up for a minute. He stopped, and as I approached him he asked me what I wanted. I told me he owed me a cab fare. He replied, "Okay," then without any warning, he hit me flush on the jaw.
Down I went, but not all the way. As I sat there on my haunches I was more surprised than hurt. The hotel clerk and my two former passengers were looking on from the window of the lobby. As I started to rise up, he swung a vicious roundhouse punch, which I was expecting.
I ducked.
He missed.
I didn't.
I smashed him square on the mouth. He went reeling back against the cars parked along the curb and in doing so, cut the lobe of his right ear on one of the cars. Then he went down on all fours. In the same position he scrambled across the sidewalk and upon gaining entrance to the hotel lobby, he got up on his feet and ran for the elevator at the far end of the lobby.
I was boiling mad and right on his heels. The elevator boy saw us coming and scurried out of the elevator. I grabbed my ex-passenger and had him pinned up against the wall of the cage demanding he pay me the cab fare he owed. Just then, someone tapped me on the shoulder and a familiar voice said, "That's enough, Dick." I looked around and saw a policeman I knew by the name of Rob Janson.
Right away this fellow started babbling about my attack on him being absolutely unprovoked, so Rob said I had better come along also. Rob put us both in the patrol car and drove us down to the police station, which was only a block down the street. We came before the night desk sergeant and by this time the young fellow was sure a mess. He was wearing a light tan Palm Beach suit and a white broadcloth shirt. His mouth was bleeding and his cut ear lobe was dripping blood all down the front of him and onto his shoulder.
The desk sergeant asked him if he had been drinking. His answer was, "It's none of your damn business!" The sergeant replied, "Lock him up", which the bailiff promptly did. At this time, the two fellows who had been my passengers came into the police station and told the desk sergeant exactly how the whole affair happened. The desk sergeant then told me if I wanted to collect my cab fare the best way would be to prefer charges against this fellow for assault and battery. Then I could go appear in Municipal Court against him in the morning and offer to drop the charges providing he pay me the cab fare owed.
This is what I did.
As there were no charges against me, thanks to my two former passengers, I headed back to the Grover Hotel to retrieve my cab. It was still there, double-parked and empty. The young lady had fled the scene, I did not blame her for that. I called in to my dispatcher and reported what had happened. I then went on to finish my shift. After checking in my nights receipts that morning, I grabbed a quick breakfast and headed for the Municipal Court which was located upstairs in City Hall.
I had only a short time to wait until Judge Leonard rapped the court to order. Those who had been arrested within the past 24 hours were herded into the courtroom from the bullpen where they had spent the night. Among the usual number of drunks and other petty offenders was my pugilistic passenger of the previous night. If he looked a mess before, you should have seen him the next morning. He had a stubble of beard on his face, mouth swollen, his right ear was puffed up and his white shirt and tan suit were caked with blood all down the front and shoulder.
His name was finally called. He stepped up before the judge and was read the charges I had preferred against him. He said he wanted to see the Chief of Police before entering a plea. Judge Leonard instructed the bailiff to take the prisoner down the hall to the Chief's office.
During their absence, I was sitting in the back of the courtroom. Charley Anderson, a plain-clothes officer who was a good friend of mine, came over and asked me if I ever planned to take a trip to California. Surprised, I told him, "Not that I know of, why?" He then said, "That's good. But, if you ever do, be sure and stay out of Los Angeles County."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
He then told me my former passenger was a deputy sheriff from Los Angeles County whose name was Schultz. It seemed Mr. Schultz had arrived in town yesterday afternoon on the N.P.R.R. and was due to leave this morning for a little town on a branch line of the Milwaukee R.R. to pick up a prisoner who was being extradited to California. It seems that to while away the time last evening, he went out on the town and his present predicament was the end result.
The Chief finally appeared and asked me to step into an anti-room, which I did. He then proceeded to bawl me out for beating up on Mr. Schultz without any provocation. The two salesmen who had testified on my behalf the previous night were not present, and it was doubtful that I could locate them, for I had failed to get their names. I told the Chief exactly what had happened the previous night. I told him it all started because I had prevented Mr. Schultz from molesting a young lady in my cab. I also told him that if Mr. Schultz did not want to pay me what he owed me, I would drive out and get this young lady to come down and file charges against him for assault with intent to rape.
The Chief acted surprised and said he did not know that there was a young lady involved, and for me to wait right where I was. The Chief then went back into his office. A few moments later, Mr. Schultz came into the anti-room and asked me if he paid me what he owed me, would I drop the charges against him? To this I said, "Sure". He then took a piece of paper and drew up a simple release agreement and asked me how much he owed me.
I told him the cab fare and my lost time came to $28.00. He gave me the money; I signed the release and headed for home. I wonder who that young girl was? I had never seen her before or since. I had no idea where she lived and I would not have recognized her again if I had seen her.

My Book is Ranked as One of the Top Two Atheist Books.
This ranking is from Luke of Common Sense Atheism, who ranked my book under Graham Oppy's brilliant work Arguing About Gods. He puts our atheist books in the same class as the works of William Lane Craig's, ed. The Blackwell Companion the Natural Theology and Richard Swinburne's classic book, The Existence of God. WOW! In another list of comparable works my book is placed 1st.

Hi Lou
Love your shows on Talk Radio AM 640. Please give me your views on TD, is it a good buy at today's price?
Hey Massimo,
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the time you spend with Talk Radio AM640. TD Bank Financial Group (TD TSX) is a solid dividend payer with a yield of 3.67%. When it comes to Canadian banks I think you should consider accumulating their shares on a regular and consistent basis and taking advantage of their dividend reinvestment plans. The banks in Canada operate as an oligopoly and that gives them tremendous market power. TD has a strong domestic franchise and has made some strategic acquisitions in the United States.
A closer look at the charts will provide needed insight to help with your decision.
The three-year chart depicts the resistance the shares have struggled with in the $85.00 range, first in 2011 and then again in 2012. The stock has provided lots of opportunities to trade for profit over the last two years. However, as mentioned, you could also approached this as a regular and consistent long term accumulation with dividend reinvestment that would provide a solid basis for your portfolio.
Currently the shares caught a bounce off $77.00 and are holding support along the 200-day moving average. The question we want to answer is if this is a good entry point? The six-month chart will provide greater evidence to help with the decision.
The six-month chart provides a close-up of the patterns observed on the three-year chart. The resistance in the $85.00 range, the bounce off $77.00, and the support along the 200-day moving average are all brought into sharper focus. The MACD and the RSI both signaled a sell in late March and the buy in early June. In mid July the momentum indicators both signalled a pull back as the shares hit resistance at $81.00.
At the moment it seems like the shares are going to continue to pullback so there could be an opportunity to get in at better prices. Worth mentioning is the support that comes in at $75.00, $72.50, and $67.50. TD will report Q3 in late August which is the next flex point on the calendar. Finally think seriously about an accumulation strategy.
Make it a profitable day and happy capitalism!

TORONTO - After two frustrating years, Chicago White Sox GM Kenny Williams has come to the same conclusion as the Blue Jays before him: Alex Rios is a dud.
On the same day he traded to get Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart from Toronto, Williams called up Alejandro De Aza from triple-A Charlotte and manager Ozzie Guillen made him his centre fielder, dismissing Rios to the bench. The kid immediately hit a two-run homer, all of Chicagos runs in a 2-1 victory over the Tigers.
Rios, who is being paid $12 million this year and has $37 million remaining on the contract he signed while with the Jays, is hitting .208 with a .555 OPS. In the month of July, he is 12-for-72 with three extra-base hits, no homers, three RBIs and an OPS of .397.
Rios is going to have to take a back seat, Williams said. We are going to see if De Aza can give us a little bit of a spark and provide us a way to manufacture some runs.
The matter of Rios salary will be a non-issue, Williams said.
Heres what I told Ozzie: Do not worry about the size of the contracts. Just worry about putting the players out there on a given day that can win. The size of the contract is not Ozzies problem. Its not Jerrys (team owner Jerry Reinsdorf) problem. Its not the coaches problem. Thats my problem, said Williams.
Put the players on the field that can win. I dont give a darn if one guy is making $400,000 and the other guy is making $12 million.
Could the Minnesota Twins fashion a rally for the ages and win their third consecutive American League Central title?
Heading into this weekend, with two months and 57 games left in the schedule, they have that chance.
The Twins started this season with a raft of key injuries and a torrent of losses that left them at 17-37 on June 1, 16.5 games behind the first-place Indians. Since then, the Indians have wilted and the Twins have won 32 of 51 games to sit six games behind the now division-leading Tigers.
Most, but not all of their injured players including catcher Joe Mauer have returned and they have by far the best record in the division in the past two months.
The largest deficit ever overcome was by the 1914 Boston Braves, who were 15 games back and won the NL pennant. The 1978 Yankees trailed the Red Sox by 14 games in July and won that division title on the seasons final day.
The Twins will have plenty of chances to move up with 33 of their 57 remaining games against division rivals.
It took three full months for the Seattle Mariners to grind out a .500 record and earn some goodwill with their long-suffering fans.
Then it took exactly three weeks to squander it all.
On July 6, the Mariners went to the ballpark in Oakland in a decent frame of mind, having won the first two of four games with the As to sit a game under .500 and, more importantly, just 2.5 games behind the Texas Rangers for the AL West lead.
Twenty-one days later, they won a ballgame. In between, they lost 17 in a row. They lost early and they lost late. They lost just about every way you can lose. They were outscored 101-44, outhit .294 to .218. They averaged about 2.5 runs on offence and gave up six runs on defence.
They broke the streak Wednesday on the final day of a road trip from hell with Felix Hernandez on the mound at Yankee Stadium of all places, beating the mighty Yankees 9-2.
It means everything right now, manager Eric Wedge said of ending the streak. These guys havent felt good in a very long time. Weve got a long flight and an off-day (Thursday), and this is a real big win for us. When youve got a monkey on your back that size, its damn hard to get it off.
During the streak, they went from a hopeful 2.5 games out to a hopeless 15.5 games out.
Now theres something you dont see every day. Thursday afternoon, Scott Downs gave up two hits, including a home run, in one inning.
What makes that exceptional is that the former Jays reliever, now with the Angels, hadnt given up two hits in an inning in about six weeks. Overall, Downs has worked 36 1/3 innings in 40 games, allowed 22 hits, eight walks and five earned runs, stranding 19 of 21 inherited baserunners.
When he pitched against us, youd look at the radar-gun readings and youre thinking, My gosh, does he ever make a mistake? manager Mike Scioscia said.
I dont know if theres a reliever weve seen who is pitching with the consistency of Scott.
A lot of people have latched onto the fact the Blue Jays have 17 blown saves and thus have catastrophic bullpen problems. Yes, 17 blown saves puts them in the bottom third of major-league baseball, but they have some illustrious company, so you have to question the blown save as a measure of bottom line failure.
The Texas Rangers have 15 blown saves and lead the AL West standings. The Los Angeles Angels, two games back of Texas, have 18 blown saves. The contending St. Louis Cardinals have 19 blown saves. The Atlanta Braves are comfortably holding onto the NL wild card spot despite 15 blown saves.
The Jays 17 blown saves occurred in 15 games. They won five of those games, including one on May 10 when they blew the save twice, yet still pulled it out.
Rather than spend millions on risky closers, the best way to avoid blown saves is to have starters who routinely go seven, eight or nine innings, like the Phillies who have blown only three saves all year.

After booking my flight I received an email saying that it was no longer available and that they had selected another for me. The alternate flight had a departure from a different airport! I said that I didn't want it. However, I was worried that they would still charge me because the email said:
The agency service fee is Non Refundable and will be charged in case your booking is cancelled due to non compliance or delayed response.
I asked about that, but I never received a response to confirm that the booking was canceled or to answer my question. I called their customer service and I was hung up on after being put on hold for twenty minutes. I called back, only to be hung up on again. When I finally got through, the agent told me that my booking had been canceled. The guy sounded so beat down and like he absolutely hated his job; I felt sorry for him. I'll never use AirTkt again.

|The Deal
|The thought of the Marlins operating as trade deadline buyers may seem to go against type, but that's exactly the strategy the club has taken in each of the past two seasons. This time around, they shipped 2005 first-round lefthander Aaron Thompson to the Nationals for first baseman Nick Johnson, who represents a significant offensive upgrade to the Marlins. The surprising Fish entered play on July 31 at 53-49, three games off the wild card pace—but behind three other teams. Washington also sent $1.5 million in cash to Florida to foot the remainder of Johnson's contract, which is set to expire after the season.
Last season, Florida acquired veteran lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes in their pursuit of the Brewers, who held a two-game advantage in the wild card race. When the dust settled, Florida had fallen to 5 1/2 games off the pace.
Johnson batted .295/.408/.402 with six home runs and 45 RBIs for Washington, and he will take over as the Marlins' full-time first baseman, shifting Jorge Cantu to third base, his primary position in 2008. This move also relegates Emilio Bonifacio, who had slipped to .249/.296/.313 after a hot start, to a utility role down the stretch. Johnson was unable to play regularly in 2007 and 2008, but by his standards he's been healthy this season, accumulating 356 at-bats, which represented his highest total since 2006.
|The Young Player
|The 2005 draft's 22nd overall pick, Thompson signed for $1.225 million out of a Houston-area high school. The 22-year-old possessed the best changeup in the Marlins system, but that did not prevent him from moving slowly up the chain. In his repeat of Double-A this season, he was 5-9, 4.11 through 20 starts for Jacksonville. He struck out 75 and walked 43 over 114 innings. Thompson dealt with minor shoulder issues in 2008 that cost him two months of the season. In 16 starts with Double-A Carolina last season, he went 2-5, 5.62 with 53 strikeouts in 82 innings. He allowed 111 hits and walked 40.
Thompson throws a fastball in the 88-91 mph range to go along with a good slider, a serviceable curveball and the aforementioned change. He has a great pick-off move to first base, too. Thompson's ability to keep the ball in the park (0.55 home runs per nine this season) and on the ground bodes well for his future. He has the ability to command all of his pitches, and improving his command will help him reach his ceiling as a back-end starter.
|Quick Take
|Johnson, 30, helps the Marlins offense become more dynamic, both because he adds a lefty bat to righthanded-heavy lineup and because he's so accomplished at reaching base. His .414 on-base percentage ranks eighth in the big leagues, and Florida will feel an added impact because he replaces Bonifacio in the order.
Johnson likely will not qualify as a Type A or B free agent, and he had no interest in returning next season with the last-place Nats, so Washington did well enough in netting a pitching prospect with major league upside for two months of a player they were not likely to re-sign nor receive any compensations picks.

anyone ever use the two of these together? just wondering how it worked?
I have used this combo several times...works fine, though Paul had some fitting suggestions for me. Nice warm UQ.
cool thanks
i'm trading something for one and just wanted to make sure it would fit on the new WBBB i've got on order.
I use that combo sometimes as well and it's worked well every time. Replaced the metal biners that come with it with plastic s-biners....but after reading DX's post I'll soon be switching to mitten hooks.
Works great with a Traveler too.
I see the AHE lineup but the lost river eludes me- what is it?
The Jarbidge does everything the Lost did but is a little longer and due to the way they are produced we are able to make the Jarbidge a little more affordable.

Trader John Monckton raises his arms as he stands in the confetti strewn floor of the Eurodollar pit at the Chicago Mercantile Exhcange as the trading year came to a close Wednesday.
M. Spencer Green/AP
NEW YORK - Impressed by Wall Street's 2003 run, many investors are looking to raise their stake in the market, but financial planners and portfolio managers say they should proceed with caution because the stellar returns aren't likely to last into the new year.
While some analysts have upbeat predictions for 2004, others say the easy gains have already been made, and stocks have overshot their targets. Some of the past year's enthusiasm may carry into the first quarter, but contrarians say equity returns will start to shrink as year-over-year comparisons suffer.
''Entering the market is becoming trickier now,'' said David A. Chalupnik, head of equities for U.S. Bancorp Asset Management. ''We've really been trying to work with our clients to set the right expectations, that is, much more muted gains in the stock market, and not such great returns in fixed income.''
It's a difficult message for investors to accept, especially when the market appears to be surging. The Dow Jones industrial average muscled solidly past 10,000 in December, and the Nasdaq composite index moved back above 2,000 just before the year's end.
On the crest of this positive wave, mutual fund investors seem to be upping their ante, as well. Data compiled by the Investment Company Institute shows $82.4 billion flowed into the nation's mutual funds in November, raising their combined assets by 1.2 percent, to $7.235 trillion.
At the beginning of 2003, Chalupnik's firm and others bet on technology stocks and small-cap companies, because they were poised to see the best gains in the recovering economy. But in the new year, there are no strong signals favoring any particular sectors.
Some pundits are talking about old economy stocks, like steel and autos, but investing veteran Sam Lieber, president of the no-load Alpine Funds, said he's not sure that's the way to go, especially since stocks like Alcoa Inc. are priced fairly high.
Lieber, whose seven-fund family includes a non-traditional real estate equity fund that rose more than 80 percent in 2003, recently launched an equity income fund focusing on stable, large-cap dividend payers. Over 200 companies in the S&P 500 increased their dividends in 2003; these income-producing stocks became even more attractive after the dividend tax cut took effect in May.
For smaller fund investors not sure where to put their money, equity income funds may be a safe way to enter the market, Lieber said. If you prefer a balanced fund, which combines both stocks and bonds, you should be very selective, with an eye toward how the manager handles the fixed income portion of the portfolio.
''Make sure you get a fund with a manager who's been there a good 10 years,'' Lieber said. ''It's a tough environment to invest in, tougher than the last five years. You want someone who's seen this type of business cycle before.''
Chalupnik, whose firm forecasts an 8 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 index for 2004, agreed that investors should move out of riskier investments - such as the tech and small-cap stocks that led 2003's rally - and into higher quality, more stable areas of the market. U.S. Bancorp is currently shifting away from tech, and toward larger-cap stocks with broader balance sheets.
''This is not the time to leap into aggressive growth funds,'' Chalupnik said.
There are a number of difficult-to-predict factors that could derail the markets in 2004, he said, including the risk of another major terrorist attack on domestic soil and the possibility of a significant hike in interest rates.
Other risks include the weakening dollar and the nation's rising deficit, which ultimately may lead to inflation and higher interest rates. It's likely to take a while for those pressures to build, however, and the Federal Reserve has indicated it will not raise rates anytime soon. Some observers say the Fed won't raise rates until after the presidential election in November.
Still, with some analysts eagerly predicting the Dow will strike 11,000 by mid-spring, there's little to dampen the generally cheerful mood on Wall Street.

To Have and Have Not
Help the Free French? Not world-weary gunrunner Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart). But he changes his mind when a sultry siren-in-distress named Marie asks, "Anybody got a match?"
That red-hot match is Bogart and 19-year-old first-time film actress Lauren Bacall. Full of intrigue and racy banter (including Bacall's legendary whistling instructions), this thriller excites further interest for what it has and has not.
Cannily directed by Howard Hawks and smartly written by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman, it doesn't have much similarity to the Ernest Hemingway novel that inspired it. And it strongly resembles Casablanca: French resistance fighters, a piano-playing bluesman (Hoagy Carmichael) and a Martinique bar much like Rick's Cafe Americaine.
But first and foremost, it showcases Bogart and Bacall, carrying on with a passion that smolders from the tips of their cigarettes clear through to their souls.
Selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 400 greatest American films of all time.

There are several types of hypotension. People who always have low blood pressure have chronic asymptomatic hypotension. They usually have no signs or symptoms and need no treatment. Their low blood pressure is normal for them.
Other types of hypotension occur if blood pressure suddenly drops too low. The signs and symptoms range from mild to severe.
The three main types of this kind of hypotension are orthostatic (OR-tho-STAT-ik) hypotension, neurally mediated hypotension, and severe hypotension linked to shock.
Orthostatic Hypotension
This type of hypotension occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. You may feel dizzy or light-headed, or you may even faint.
Orthostatic hypotension occurs if your body isn't able to adjust blood pressure and blood flow fast enough for the change in position. The drop in blood pressure usually lasts only for a few seconds or minutes after you stand up. You may need to sit or lie down for a short time while your blood pressure returns to normal.
Orthostatic hypotension can occur in all age groups. However, it's more common in older adults, especially those who are frail or in poor health. This type of hypotension can be a symptom of another medical condition. Thus, treatment often focuses on treating underlying conditions.
Some people have orthostatic hypotension, but also have high blood pressure when lying down.
A form of orthostatic hypotension called postprandial hypotension is a sudden drop in blood pressure after a meal. This type of hypotension mostly affects older adults. People who have high blood pressure or a central nervous system disorder, such as Parkinson's disease, also are at increased risk for postprandial hypotension.
Neurally Mediated Hypotension
With neurally mediated hypotension (NMH), blood pressure drops after you've been standing for a long time. You may feel dizzy, faint, or sick to the stomach as a result. NMH also can occur as the result of an unpleasant, upsetting, or scary situation.
NMH affects children and young adults more often than people in other age groups. Children often outgrow NMH.
Severe Hypotension Linked to Shock
Shock is a life-threatening condition in which blood pressure drops so low that the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs can't get enough blood to work well. Blood pressure drops much lower in shock than in other types of hypotension.
Many factors can cause shock. Examples include major blood loss, certain severe infections, severe burns and allergic reactions, and poisoning. Shock can be fatal if it's not treated right away.

Christopher Hitchens died of cancer. Along with being a powerful writer he was one of the leading advocates for atheism. Dying from cancer, he pledged he would not turn to God in his final minutes. He said if he ever made such a comment, it would only be if he was delirious and out of his mind.
Hitchens is now in heaven (I'm sure to his surprise). Can an atheist go to heaven? Do all Muslims go to hell? Who exactly invented these rules for salvation?
I was listening to a Christian radio show about bible questions and answers, and someone asked about dinosaurs in the bible. The speaker explained how the Great Flood created the dinosaur fossils. No scientific evidence was given to explain how being underwater for 40 days and nights created fossils deep beneath the earth, and in finely detailed layers as well. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was like OMG…flabbergasted! I could not believe grown, educated men could actually discuss flood created dinosaur fossils as reality and not a joke.
I think this type of religious thinking fueled Hitchens and others' atheism. Hitchens wrote about religion: "Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience."
I can't argue with that. Hitchens is correct. However, Hitchens was wrong if he equated spirituality as being the same as religious dogma. There is a difference. When atheists attack the very idea of spirituality, they become the flip side of the religion coin. Suddenly they are the ones who are in denial of reality.
After his cancer Hitchens was quoted about atheism: "No evidence or argument has yet been presented which would change my mind. But I like surprises."
If an atheist, skeptic or scientist wants proof of an afterlife, it is out there. The evidence for the NDE (near-death-experience) is compelling. I would suggest it is proven. It seems those with an ideological axe to grind avoid examining the NDE research in detail. If skeptics did, the extensive NDE research would turn their worldview upside-down.
The NDE is the atheist's dinosaur fossil.
According to near-death experiences a religious belief, or lack of them, don't seem to matter much. What people do experience is a judgment day when we have to relive all the harm or good we did in our life. If you hurt someone, you will experience exactly what they felt, no escaping that. It sounds supremely fair to me. Hitchens now realizes he was mistaken, but he had a good reason to distain much of religion. Nobody will go to hell because they recognized religion's nonsense. That would be supremely unfair.
There is also a very real chance that Mr. Hitchens may contact with those who were closest to him. There exists a window of opportunity where the deceased may contact the living. When my mother passed away, she contacted my father who is something of an agnostic. I wrote about it on my blog at the time. This is very real stuff, and I hope Mr. Hitchens' loved ones are receptive to the possibility.
Speaking of After Death Communications (ADC) here is an excellent interview on the topic from my favorite esoteric podcast: Binnallofameria He has an excellent interview with Bill Guggenheim about the topic.
Before he got sick Hitchens' had an opinion column that appeared in my local newspaper's editorial section. He was extremely perceptive. I am happy Christopher Hitchens still exists.
Below is an excellent documentary about the NDE:

Anyone who understands the functions of the brain can explain what people experience when they describe what you are calling the NDE. Descriptions of white lights and tunnels are about as useful as a ouija board in proving there is an afterlife. It's no more revelatory than when someone drops acid. Magical thinking is not something I can entertain as an Atheist, but the chemical interactions taking place in certain areas of the brain most certainly help shed light on what these people describe. No afterlife. Nothing supernatural. Just synapses and science, two things you probably dismiss as voodoo. When you get your Ph. D. in Neuroscience, feel free to comment on matters of the mind.
I find your ramblings inflammatory, self serving, and grossly intellectually lacking. I'm sure Hitch would agree with my impression.
On a side note, I would highly recommend you learn to speak of the dead with respect. Don't drag Hitchens into your mission to indoctrinate the world with your ignorance. If you want to write about the NDE, write about it, but don't invoke a literary master in your pursuit of your own selfish needs.

Hi Atheist,
There are accounts of people who were blind from birth and had visual experiences during an NDE. Can dropping acid do that? Again, the devil is in the details. Dismissing the NDE without understanding it is not productive. I'd suggest an open mind on the topic.
I also think I've been very respectful of Mr. Hitchens. I may be the only person who believes atheists go to heaven when they die. What we believe is not important. What matters is acting with love and compassion towards others. Both the religious minded and the atheist can share those traits.
BTW, I made a hosting service switch before I made my Hitchens post. That post and your comment were lost. I recreated this post and I recreated your comment. I loved your comment! I wish more people thought I was inflammatory, self serving and grossly intellectually lacking. That makes for a popular blog. "Inflammatory" …I can only wish.

To David:
This Atheist that posted here seems familar in the Craigslist and TOPIX arena as a person with severe mental in- capabilities regarding his knowledge of the "mind".He claims to be superior
in "his mind" of knowing the human mind thur and thur, as if he is a "brain wizard" of the internet.
I know his/her signaure. He claims to be a non believer and expert in all areas of everything.. He wants people too portray him/her as "very very smart"…using words that he/she feels will impress all to his "smartness"….IN REAL TIME, he/she is a cyberthug that lives in a warped perspective of the real world….A "loser" for sure. He/'She gets this false courage in "being invisable to the eye,
to post bizarre thoughts/Thiesis of the mind.You will notice from the IP address that it comes from the Shreveport, La.area. Hes a nut case..

Hi Wavefree,
NO…STOP IT! I want to imagine "Atheist" is actually Richard Dawkins making a comment on my blog! That is my ultimate fantasy…Dawkins making a mean and insulting comment. I can only wish…"sigh". I'd be in heaven.

someone said to me: "i don't give a damn whether he is christians, moslems,jews,atheists,satanists,mormon, or even pagan-worshipper, as long as we can live together with peace and harmony, and tolerate each other, it's absolutely fine for me."

I strongly believe the more we interact with people of different faiths and beliefs, the less important our difference become. We realize the value of a person exceeds any dogma. Not that faith and beliefs don't matter, they do. The differences between beliefs are not so important, compared to the right to believe whatever we choose.

What's In Her Bag?Share
Ever wonder what a fashion PR Director has hiding in her bag?
Well, wonder no more.

Tap Into The Mic and Speak Volumes
I would work for the United Nations and help shape developing countries, such as Ghana, into technological, social, and economical powerhouses. Looking specifically at Africa, many sleep on its potential to be a force within the global sector. I would also create teams of twenty professionals that vary in skills, such as civil engineers, accountants, teachers, doctors, etc. and gradually send them to developing countries; it would be called "Professionals without Borders." Each country would be required to promote the program to its citizens after post-graduate studies, with certain exceptions for particular careers. Later on in my career, after serving my time in the UN, I would return to Ghana and work as the Senior Financial Advisor for the president with the hope that my expertise in money management and allocation of assets would subsequently improve the conditions of the job market, economy, healthcare, infrastructure, and education. I plan to double major in Finance and International Business during college. After college, I will obtain a dual degree in Public Administration and Business Administration with a concentration in International Finance. I hope to help the citizens of the world create a better tomorrow by being the best I can be today, and eventually earn the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize.

Try to think of ten classic, comfort food dishes that are as far from vegan as you can imagine. I'll name some of the ones that spring to my mind: moussaka. Meatloaf. Stroganoff. Goulash. All of these are (traditionally speaking) full of ground meat and/or béchamel. And did you notice that all are hyperlinked? Those links take you to vegan versions of the traditional dishes in question. In my opinion, going vegan isn't about relinquishing or learning to replace old favorites. It's about finding innovative ways to create those same cherished dishes with plant ingredients.
Did shepherd's pie come to mind for anyone? It was a standard "special occasion" dish in my home as I was growing up: layers of ground beef, onion, carrot, and a mashed potato topping oozing with butter and cream. Served, of course, with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese (we put parm on everything).
As you can imagine, before going vegan I'd have been flabbergasted at the mere thought of a vegan shepherd's pie, let alone excited to create one. But I've now created two shepherd's pies. I shared one two Christmases ago, and today, over at Food52, I have a new and much improved version of this most comforting and hearty of cold weather casseroles.
My original version of vegan shepherd's pie was based on a recipe from a very old vegetarian cookbook. It had a ton of ingredients and steps, and though it was delicious, I found it very exhausting to make. My new version is, I think, every bit as delicious but much easier. It is a lentil shepherd's pie with a potato and parsnip topping. It's still a time commitment, but if you cook lentils a day in advance, and mash the potatoes and parsnips in advance of cooking the veggies and assembly, you'll find it's really a cinch to make. More importantly, I guarantee that you can serve this dish to hungry family and friends of all different eating styles, and count on them to be impressed!
With the holidays around the corner, it's never been a better time for this one dish wonder. When you head on over to see the recipe, you'll also get my five tips for building hearty, authentic vegan casseroles. If you're just exploring plant based eating, remember: veganism doesn't have to be a sacrifice of taste or pleasure. With the right preparation techniques and ingredients, vegan food will be as abundant, filling, and as celebratory of tradition as you want it to be.

The Order of the Blue Polo - Member 000013
I am an independent consultant designing, building and maintaining networks for ISPs and CLECs (independent phone companies). I have 3 OpenNMS installations I currently maintain; 2 CLECs and one state govt. agency. I support my clients remotely as they are scattered over a large geographical area. My installations include 114 nodes with 657 interfaces, 24 nodes with 637 interfaces and 193 nodes with 554 interfaces. My only advertising is word-of-mouth referrals, so my work has to speak for itself. I can use any NMS system, opensource or commercial. I have worked with most of them. My reputation depends on results. OpenNMS provides these results for me and my clients.
OpenNMS is an invaluable tool not just for network status monitoring but helps me quickly diagnose network and equipment issues. I can "see" what was happening on each device and effectively make decisions quickly about what mitigating actions to take, and more importantly, it helps me to understand what is not a problem.
By collecting a history of events and metrics for each device I can effectively plan and maintain these sites. Cooling, disk space and bandwidth utilization are just a few of the areas where a history of the metrics gives me clear direction on when and where resources will be required. Just being able to monitor the temp. of a site and send alarms when the temp. is too high, has already saved one of my clients more money than the investment made in the ONMS system.
Most of all, I make use of the extreme flexibility of the OpenNMS system. Where no solutions exist, OpenNMS gives me the framework to monitor nodes in ways not usually possible. Some legacy and specialized equipment does not include SNMP support. OpenNMS allows me multiple solutions for non-SNMP capable devices. In one instance, a DSL modem does not report needed metrics on line quality in the usual ways (no SNMP agent). I was able to write a script to access the information on these devices and create a web page with the information. A simple configuration in OpenNMS was all it took to monitor this web page for the data needed.
Thanks for such a great tool!

If you rolled an odd number in the beginning, use this storyline:
Edward and you have made things work out. Your schedules are hectic between school, work, and caring for a child. The two of you hardly ever see each other. You go to school in the mornings, come home, and take care of Amelia. He takes care of Amelia in the mornings, then Lucy comes over to watch Amelia until you get home, while Edward goes to school, and then immediately after school, he runs off to work. It's really harder on him than it is on you because you've dealt with a hectic lifestyle and young children your entire life – he hasn't.
The time rolls around where Amelia is almost a year old. Edward would like to fly to El Cajon to visit your family for a few days. After all, they haven't seen your baby yet. Then, he'd like to fly to Lakewood to visit his family. This would be your first time in meeting his family. You're nervous about both trips because as far as Edward knows, you only have a brother and a sister. But the two of you have made it this far and this long in your relationship. You're sure that if you told him the truth about you're family, he wouldn't run away, like you'd originally thought. But now you've lied to him…and kept the lie going. You need to come clean. So you tell him the truth. He's upset – very upset. He leaves the apartment and doesn't come back for a few days. You have no idea where he went or what he did, but when he comes back, he apologizes and says he had to just get away from everything for a bit. He claims he hit his breaking point and he had to realize that you're the only person he can actually trust, even if you lied to him about your family.
A few months later, you fly to El Cajon. Edward meets you at the airport and takes you to your actual house. You're surprised to see that your parents seem to be a little less "out of it" than they used to be. They've stepped up a little. But the older kids are still caring mainly for the younger kids. At least the house looks in better condition than it used to. You're embarrassed, but you and Edward have been through everything already.
You have a nice few days in El Cajon, but now it's time to head to Lakewood. You say your goodbyes and leave your best friend and little brother behind. When you arrive in Lakewood, his entire family is there to meet you at the airport. There may only be 3 of them, but they're all there. His family lives in a decent sized, 5 bedroom house. The two of you and Amelia get your own bedroom and bathroom – a mini-master. Amelia's sister, Emma Harlow Vaughn has her own room, her 3 year old son, Elijah Alexander Vaughn has his own room, Edward's parents have their own room, and then there's the playroom/study. You're shocked to find out that Edward has a child. He'd mentioned her a few times, but had never said anything about a baby. But you realize that this may be the reason his parents were instantly financially supportive of the two of you when you got pregnant.
You enjoy your stay in Lakewood. His parent's spoil Amelia to death, the same as they do Elijah. Amelia and Elijah get along great, and you hope they can grow up together. By the time you leave Lakewood, you feel as though you've truly become part of their family. You talk with Edward about moving around that area after college, so you can be close to his family and Amelia can grow up with Elijah.
5 months later, Edward pops the question. You, of course, say "YES!"
The two of you graduate college and follow through with your plans to move to Lakewood. You both find jobs quickly and are able to move into a very nice 3 bedroom house. Amelia goes to Grandma & Grandpa's house while you're at work, and you feel like your entire life is right where it should be.

Palin: U.S. Shouldn't 'Second Guess' Defensive Military Steps Taken by Israel
VP pick says Iranian nukes 'dangerous,' U.S. must support security measures taken by Israel.
Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin on Thursday said the United States shouldn't "second guess" steps taken by Israel to secure itself, adding that a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran is dangerous and the United States must "put the pressure" on the Islamic Republic.Palin statements came during an interview Thursday with Charlie Gibson of ABC, her first major interview given since she accepted the vice presidential nomination in late August.
Palin did stumble when asked if she supported the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive attacks on states that threaten the United States, seeming at first unsure of what Charlie Gibson was referring to, then saying "I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic extremism, terrorists who are hell bent on destroying our nation," before adding "there have been mistakes made."
Palin also said "If there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend," in response to Gibson's questions on whether the United States should go after terrorist hideouts in Pakistan without securing the country's permission first.
Palin has been beset by criticism that she is not ready to be president should something happen to McCain, with the majority of criticism falling on her lack of foreign policy experience. The Alaska governor and former mayor of the small town of Wasilla acknowledged the criticisms during the interview saying the fact that she hadn't traveled abroad much and had never met a foreign head of state only illustrated the fact that she is not a long time Washington insider.

The Elite Association of Logistic Networks (ELITE) has become the latest influential global association to endorse IATA's Multilateral e-AWB Agreement. Representing over 6,200 independent freight forwarder members in 191 countries around the globe, ELITE comprises 10 leading logistics networks and generates over US$60 billion in combined annual freight revenues.
ELITE continues to play a crucial role in the adoption of e-AWBs, and is working alongside IATA to ensure that the independent logistics sector realises the full benefits of electronic communications. The association is working closely with WIN (Worldwide Information Network) as its partner platform for e-AWB adoption.
In a statement published on the IATA website, the association asserted its commitment to rapidly increase e-AWB utilisation. "We fully support IATA's ongoing drive for greater efficiencies in air cargo. Through WIN we are now offering immediate e-AWB access to our combined membership along with streamlined ability to join IATA resolution 672, via a simple and easy click to agree mechanism."
By providing a simple and cost-effective solution, allowing forwarders to rapidly commence e-AWB transactions, ELITE believes that the independent sector is well positioned to take the lead in the global e-communications revolution.
"Independent forwarders are already reporting to us tangible cost and time savings from e-AWB implementation, and we fully believe this sector will play an important role in helping the air cargo industry achieve its e-AWB penetration targets."
