It looks like it's on a barge.
It looks like it's on a barge.
That's because it is a swing movable bridge, *and it rotates on that "barge" to provide passage to boats.

City Wants to Part With Bridge That Links Bronx and Manhattan
By SEWELL CHAN
New York City has a bridge to sell. Really.
For a bargain-basement price, $1, the city is willing to part with the Willis Avenue Bridge. It will even deliver the bridge at no charge, up to 15 miles.
The bridge, which connects the Bronx and Manhattan over the Harlem River, is one of seven swing bridges operated by the city. It opened on Aug. 22, 1901, and is one of the city's oldest.
Used by 75,000 vehicles a year, it costs $1.1 million a year to maintain. Its steel members require constant repainting and major sections have been corroded by the elements. The city decided in 1999 to build a replacement swing bridge, and plans to do so by 2012, at a cost of around $300 million. The new bridge would have wider lanes, better bicycle and pedestrian paths, a stronger deck and a streamlined design that would reduce the rate of accidents.
Federal regulations, however, require a review by state historic preservation officials, because the bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and has not been substantially modified over its 104-year history. Under an agreement with the state, the city promised to offer the bridge's two steel trusses - the movable span and a fixed span - for "reuse and preservation."
Hence the sale, for a nominal fee of $1.
The buyer must agree to maintain the bridge's historic character, and may not sell it for scrap. If no buyer is found, however, the entire bridge may ultimately be demolished.
In November, the city sent fliers offering the bridge to nearby government and parks agencies. It also placed an advertisement in Preservation, the magazine of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A six-year review of the new project's environmental impact, completed last month, also publicized the sale. The availability of the old bridge was first reported in the Jan. 16 issue of The New Yorker.
Despite all that publicity, no one has expressed interest. "It's not like we're putting this on eBay," said Iris Weinshall, commissioner of the city's Department of Transportation.
Ms. Weinshall spoke in an interview on the bridge yesterday morning, as a three-member team of bridge operators swung open the main span for a monthly maintenance test. The 301-foot span rotates horizontally, around a central pivot, so ships can pass.
Hours later, the department received a call from Civitas Citizens, a nonprofit group devoted to land use, planning and urban design on the Upper East Side and in East Harlem. The organization wants to move the span just 3,500 feet to the south, creating a pedestrian bridge between East 116th Street and Randalls Island, the home of an emerging athletic and recreational complex.
"We have $1 ready to put on the table," said T. Gorman Reilly, president of Civitas Citizens. "All we need is the $20 million it might cost to complete the project."
After receiving the bridge, the group would have to anchor and adjust it.
Mr. Reilly said the group had commissioned a feasibility study by Hardesty & Hanover, an engineering firm that happens to be a consultant to the city on the Willis Avenue replacement bridge. City officials said last night that it was too early to offer an opinion because they had not received the group's proposal.
Whatever happens, it is clear that the Willis Avenue Bridge is heading for retirement.
The city invited bids to build the bridge in 1897, when East Harlem was a struggling Italian neighborhood, and Mott Haven in the Bronx was bustling with factories. Work began in 1898. The bridge was completed in 1901, at a cost of $2.4 million.
The Willis Avenue Bridge was intended to relieve congestion on the Third Avenue Bridge, immediately to the north, which opened in 1898. That bridge was replaced in 2004.
The Third Avenue bridge has five lanes for Manhattan-bound traffic, and the Willis Avenue bridge has four lanes for Bronx-bound traffic. The two bridges, which have no tolls, are popular alternatives to the nearby Triborough Bridge, which costs $4.50 to cross without an E-ZPass.
The Willis Avenue Bridge is best described, perhaps, as workmanlike. "It's not the most attractive bridge," said Henry D. Perahia, the city's chief bridge officer. "In fact, at the time it opened, people already considered it ugly. It has lasted longer than it should have."
The replacement bridge will start from a point in Manhattan to the south of the current bridge, and nearly meet up with the existing bridge on the Bronx end. In Manhattan, the city will build new entrance ramps from First Avenue and the Harlem River Drive; in the Bronx, the State Department of Transportation plans to rebuild the exit ramps leading to the Major Deegan Expressway and Bruckner Boulevard.
Bids are to be solicited in October, and construction is expected to start next year. The existing bridge will not be moved (or dismantled) until the new one is substantially ready for traffic.

Thanks for posting that, Kris.
I think the pedestrian bridge in Spanish Harlem sounds like a great idea.

MANHATTAN Two barges toting a fully built, 2,400-ton bridge began their trip down the Hudson River toward New York City on Tuesday.
The span is a replacement for the 109-year-old Willis Avenue Bridge, which connects Harlem to the Bronx, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The barges will take the replacement bridge to Bayonne, N.J., where it will stay until being transported to it's final resting spot in Norhtern Manhattan in August.
The replacement span will be towed up the East River and under the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge. The $612 million project that is scheduled to be completed in late 2012, the paper reported.
The swing bridge was built at the Port of Coeymans, just south of Albany, allowing the current Willis Avenue Bridge to remain open during construction.
The Port of Coeymans owners aim to attract more projects upstate. They said shipping bridges and other large items by water is safer and more efficient than toting them by truck, according to WSJ.

MANHATTAN The 2,400-ton replacement for the Willis Avenue Bridge is expected to a
rrive at its destination in northern Manhattan sometime Monday morning, FOX New York reported.
The bridge started its trip on July 13 from Albany with the help of two barges. It will travel up the East River under the Brooklyn Bridge on its route to the Harlem River.
The $612 million restoration of the 109-year-old Willis Avenue Bridge, which connects Harlem to the South Bronx, is scheduled for completion in 2012.
The replacement swing bridge will allow the connection to remain open during construction.
Construction of the new bridge is scheduled to begin Aug. 2.
Willis Ave. Bridge Goes the Way of All Metal
By SAM ROBERTS
The old Willis Avenue Bridge, in 2006
Wanna buy a bridge? Youre too late. The 110-year-old Willis Avenue Bridge was floated to a Jersey City junkyard last week where it is being dismantled to be sold for scrap.
You could have bought it for $1 cash and carry. But when there were no takers five years ago, city officials required the contractor for the new Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River to dispose of the old one.
The new bridge opened last fall. The old bridges steel swing span and the steel deck that flanked it were barged to New Jersey. Granite from the bridge was given to the Parks Department to be used in Pulaski Park, near Willis Avenue and 132nd Street in the Bronx, and in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
A spokesman for Kiewit, the bridge project builder, said that after the citys bridge offer failed to attract prospective purchasers, the company had not considered putting it up for sale again.
Once the contract was structured in a way that the bridge was going to come with us, he said, we never had any intention of doing that.
The original bridge cost $2.4 million, the new one more than $600 million. Its famous as the 20-mile mark the wall in the New York City Marathon. The swing span on the old bridge was was 250 feet long. At one point, the city even offered free delivery within 15 miles for anyone who adopted it.

Singer/songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he began touring with a band at the age of 16 before eventually relocating to Colorado to hone his chops as a solo artist. Influenced by the rural blue-collar lyricism of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Joe Phelps, and Leonard Cohen, it wasn't long before Isakov's own blend of dusty folk and moody Americana began turning heads. He released his debut album, Rust Colored Stones, in 2003, followed by Songs for October (2005), That Sea, the Gambler (2007), and The Empty Northern Hemisphere (2009), the latter of which spawned the single "If I Go, I'm Goin," which appeared in the fourth season of the popular Showtime series Californication.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Broward Sheriff's Office and U.S. Secret Service's Miami Electronic Crimes Task Force arrested five identity theft suspects accused of preparing to sell personal information of thousands of people.
BSO arrested Michael "Sharkey" Peters, 42; Tracy Menelas, 30; Devin Dorvil, 25; Troy Paul, 33; and, Kevin Bonhometre, 26, in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday as part of operation "Shark Tank."
BSO says the group gathered victims' names, dates of birth, and social security numbers, and Peter would then find buyers for the data.
Peters negotiated the sale of each victim's information for $14 to $20 in meetings with undercover detectives from January through March, BSO says. He handed over a list of about 1,300 names and a thumb drive with 5,000 others.
"They said they knew it was illegal. They even discussed the price of each name," said Broward Sheriff's Office economic crimes detective Mitchell Gordon. "There was discussion the price perhaps based on volume would come down to $14 per name."
"It was discussed that the defendants looked at a potential of $50,000 per person in profit by providing these names," said Broward County Circuit Court Judge John Hurley.
Each suspect faces a felony charges of aggravated white collar crime, fraudulent use of IDs, and computer crime with intent to defraud.
The source of the data remains under investigation.
"You can get them from the banks. You can get them from tax preparers or collection agencies. Anywhere that has your name, date of birth, social security number," said Gordon. "All you got to do is put 6,000 names on a thumb drive. When we printed it out, it came to 80 pieces of paper."
Gordon added anyone with that information could file taxes, open credit cards, open bank accounts, or buy homes in that person's name.
If convicted, each suspect could face at least 10 years in prison.

The 13-episode run of the divisive Flowers of Evil anime has come to an end, wrapping what we first favorably spoke of a couple months back. Guess what? It's still divisive! That's ok, because truly interesting entertainment often finds its viewers split down the middle, and the end result of Flowers of Evil is one of the most memorable anime of recent years.
One of the first things we noticed about Flowers of Evil was its relaxed pacing, which makes even Shūzō Oshimi's original manga seem a bit rapid-fire. Despite it suiting the tone of the series, it had some concerned about just how far into the story director Hiroshi Nagahama and the staff at ZEXCS would be able to steer it. Things pick up when necessary, though, and while some might find the end spot frustrating, moving events at an even brisker pace would have been to the detriment of the show as a whole.
The rotoscoping has been a nagging issue for some since the very first episode, but the series just wouldn't work any other way. At this point I can't even imagine how it would look as a more traditional anime, and thankfully no one needs to. Flowers of Evil maintains a kinetic energy only made possible by its unique animation style. Scenes like the widely praised finale of episode 7 represent some of the best animation has to offer; a gleefully destructive, yet oddly intimate moment between Takao Kasuga and the manipulative Sawa Nakamura that trumps even the manga's depiction.
Speaking of Nakamura, while she may be repulsive at times, the anime ends up making her a more appealing character. She's certainly more interesting than Kasuga's chief love interest, Nanako Saeki. It's hard to completely write off Saeki, though. She's as confused by her own emotions as anyone else in the series. It's unclear whether she wants to be with Kasuga because he's the first to make some bold (and weird) moves on her, or if she genuinely cares for him and wants to figure him out. More likely it's a combination of the two, but Nakamura provides just enough of a sinister wedge—playing against their relationship and keeping Kasuga emotionally torn—to intensify Saeki's feelings.
Everyone's going to remember the handful of visually captivating scenes that truly take advantage of the fluid rotoscoping, but Flowers of Evil isn't afraid of quiet moments. There's no rush to depict something like the frustration and bewilderment Kasuga's parents feel over their son's actions, as they sit in silence in the middle of episode 11, reacting with slight movements and saying everything by saying nothing. Finally his mother's head falls to her hands and we gradually move along.
Flowers of Evil will be even more rewarding for those who haven't checked out Oshimi's manga, though I recommend both. It certainly didn't ruin the weekly experience for me as the series streamed, and they're different enough in execution to warrant double dipping with this fantastically executed story of bubbling hormones, young love, and attempts to escape from a dismally average world full of shit-bugs.
Crunchyroll streamed Flowers of Evil as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks will be releasing the series on home video.

Senior Tories have called on the Chancellor to reward the middle classes by raising the 40p tax threshold so it hits fewer workers.
Ahead of this month's budget, they have called for the higher rate trigger to be increased from £41,450 to £44,000 to stop people like teachers and police officers who "don't consider themselves even remotely privileged or rich" being hit.
The proposals were raised directly with the Chancellor at the backbench 1922 Committee and have been branded a general election "game changer" by some.
David Ruffley, who sits on the Treasury select committee, told the Daily Telegraph: "The people who are low paid have had tax reductions. Hasn't the time come to focus on people who are not rich but the striving middle? People who do not consider themselves to be remotely rich or privileged but now find themselves paying 40p in the pound? It could turn the political tide."
The number of people in the higher rate tax band has gone up to one in six from the one in 20 who were affected when it was introduced by former Conservative chancellor Nigel Lawson and 800,000 have moved into it in the last three years, the newspaper reported.
Tory backbencher Philip Davies described the threshold as "grotesquely unfair" and an increase in the threshold has also won support from Gerald Howarth, John Redwood and Nick de Bois.
Bernard Jenkin, chairman of the Commons public administration committee, told the newspaper: "George Osborne has been right to take so many people out of tax, and we should take credit for that. But we should allow this distortion of the income tax scale to demotivate so many people who are seeking to improve their lives."

"The G7 remains committed to avoiding protectionist measures, which would only exacerbate the downturn, to refraining from raising new barriers and to working towards a quick and ambitious conclusion of the Doha Round," of global free trade negotiations.
OH, oh…"quick and ambitious…" free trade.
Get Ready, 'Cause Here it Comes…
The Temptations - Get Ready:
This is exactly what I've been warning about in my "cut the crap" article series. The G7 members, the IMF, and the central bankers are all one in the same. They have an agenda to create a "ONE WORLD" economic system.
Is this a big conspiracy theory? No, not by all... most have simply bought into the mantra not realizing that they are pawns of the real power brokers who espouse Friedman and Keynesian economics and free trade.
While telling everyone in the world that you have been and will be saved, they neglect to tell you they are the same shady characters that created the present mess. But don't worry, they "reiterate their commitment to fix the downturn while avoiding protectionist measures." You can feel saved if you want, but that talk scares the hell out of me:
Are you kidding me?
G7 vow to stabilize economy
A draft statement from the Group of Seven reiterates the group's commitment to fight the downturn while avoiding protectionist measures.
February 13, 2009: 4:56 PM ET
ROME, Feb 13 (Reuters) -- The G7 industrial powers, worried that protectionism is on the rise as recession bites, will promise to do all they can to combat the downturn and limit unwanted spillover effects from their actions, according to a statement being prepared for publication on Saturday.
The text, a draft of which was obtained by Reuters while G7 finance ministers were meeting in Rome, said stabilizing the economy and financial markets was their "highest priority".
"We reaffirm our commitment to act together using the full range of policy tools to support growth and employment and strengthen the financial sector," it said.
"We will continue to work together to avoid undesirable spillovers and distortions," said the text.
"The G7 remains committed to avoiding protectionist measures, which would only exacerbate the downturn, to refraining from raising new barriers and to working towards a quick and ambitious conclusion of the Doha Round," of global free trade negotiations, it said.
"We will continue to work together to avoid undesirable spillovers and distortions."
Ha, ha, they are the undesirable spillover and the cause of the distortions!
They push for "free trade" and vow to not place up barriers, but I contend that their intentions are anything but honorable. In fact quite the opposite. You can call it tinfoil if you wish, but here's what I think their game is…
Their intent is to control and profit from the world's most creative minds, from people's labors, and from the planet's natural resources.
They do this through the use of "free trade" and debt money that they create from nothing. They love to issue debt to countries that are struggling, because once they take it, they then are under their control and influence. The future productivity of their country, their people, and their natural recourses become theirs.
Iceland in trouble? No problem, I'm sure they can work out a loan under the right terms.
Baltic States in trouble? No problem, they can accommodate that.
Argentina defaulting on their last loan? No problem, they always have more.
Japan's economy never recover from too much debt? No problem... here, take some more:
G-7 Says 'Severe' Downturn to Persist, Vows to Reverse SlumpThe people of the world had better wake the heck up and take the red pill:
By Simon Kennedy and Rainer Buergin
Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Group of Seven finance chiefs vowed to tackle a "severe" economic downturn that will persist for most of 2009 without spelling out new steps to do so.
The G-7's finance ministers and central bankers said in a statement released after talks in Rome yesterday that they were working to restore confidence in markets and revive the world economy. They predicted the full effect of individual rescue packages will "build over time."
"We reaffirm our commitment to act together using the full range of policy tools to support growth and employment and strengthen the financial sector," the statement said. "The stabilization of the global economy and financial markets remains our highest priority."
'Second Wave'
…As he predicted a "second wave" of countries seeking assistance, the IMF's Strauss-Kahn signed a deal with Japan to give the lender access to an extra $100 billion after it issued loans from Iceland to Pakistan to Hungary.
And where EXACTLY does that money come from? What did the central bankers do to create that "wealth" that they lend so freely?
They create their "money," from nothing and write laws stating that their money is the only acceptable means of trade (taxed of course), and anyone who attempts to create their own money system will be thrown in jail! And if you attempt to conduct trade outside their system, you will again be fined and jailed.
The central bankers create this money and promote "free trade," all the while they lend even more fiat debt to the captains of industry (family members and themselves), who then manufacture the stuff via the lowest bidder on the planet for labor and for the natural resources required.
They do not care which country does it as long as it is cheap. They care not what pollution is created, or where or how the natural resources come from. They certainly don't care about Americans who fought and died to make their country "free." They know full well that free trade means lowering living standards for upper tier countries and probably raising very marginally the living standards in the lower tier.
They gladly produce bubbles that subsequently crash. Thus they can alternate between euphoria and fear. They know, like I do, that debt money systems come and go.
They do not care, making new ones is easy and the larger percentage of the world that participates, the more they own and control:
Yuan GainsThey are NOT fooling me. Are they fooling YOU?
The G-7 officials tempered past criticisms of Chinese currency policy, saying they welcomed the country's bid to invigorate its economy. The nation's commitment to a more flexible yuan should lead "to continued appreciation" in the exchange rate. Geithner, who last month accused China of "manipulating" its currency, also welcomed China's efforts.
"The G-7 has realised that China needs to be brought into the fold of the global financial system rather than be treated as a pariah just because of yuan inflexibility," said Geoffrey Yu, a London-based foreign-exchange strategist at UBS AG in London. "This statement will be welcomed in Beijing and help defuse the recent tension between China and the U.S."
Hey, you can call that tinfoil if you like, but if you do, I will counter that you are a part of the mass psychosis.
People fail to accomplish the most basic math because they are programmed and bombarded with useless but complex sounding B.S. about debt to GDP, and other such nonsense. They fail to simply add up all the DEBTS and compare them to the INCOME (Death by Numbers).
They fail to understand why one country should spend more money on their "defense" than the rest of the entire world combined. The same country who no longer manufactures anything of substance outside of the "tools" needed to arm that military industrial complex. They fail to see why that military industrial complex really exists and who profits from it.
As I've been saying, when we complete our Voyage to the Bottom of the 'C'... you will find the central banker, the G7, and the IMF all standing there (they are one in the same) with a multi-thousand page document (that magically appears after two days work) explaining their new debt based currency… Doesn't matter what they call it; the dollar, the Euro, the Amero, the whatever – the point will be that they will be "saving the world while creating free trade." What hooey. They will be passing off their debt instruments, enslaving the world, and it will happen all over again, and again, until working to enrichen them is no longer acceptable to the people.
You can call that a pessimistic view of the world, but I simply call it realistic.
I am in fact optimistic, and do believe that a "one world" economy is achievable – it's just NOT the one world that they envision where they are in control. Quite the opposite; in my vision of a one world the central bankers would be unemployed.
My ideas don't revolve around debt. They revolve around a money system that is brought into being through production, not debt. A money system that is owned and controlled by the people for the people. The charging of interest, is of course allowed between private parties, but not at usury rates. A political system that excludes corporate influence. Goals are set by the people with survival of the species a uniting world goal (think about the implications of that). Free trade is scaled into between EQUAL partners with equal playing fields. Competitive production, not competetive Ponzi finance.
Bubble, then bust is not the goal – survival of the species is the goal while at the same time striving for happiness as spelled out in our Constitution. If survival is the goal, then decisions become long term, not short. If survival is the goal, then new technologies remain the focus. Exploration and colonization of space becomes a focus. Alternative energies become the focus. Defense against low odds, but high risk events becomes a priority. Wars would obviously work against such a goal, especially if corporations were no longer allowed to exert influence over government.
Pie in the sky dreams? You bet. Go read the Constitution and take the red pill.
No, you won't find any mention there about survival of the species, but you will find mention of freedom and the pursuit of happiness. When you study history, you will find that our founding fathers understood the relationship of freedom and security, and they were wise enough to fear the power and control of the central bank (My MONEY 'tis to thee...).
Why bother writing this stuff and doing a blog?
My goal is to organize THE PEOPLE to develop and work towards an economic system that exists truly on behalf of the people, not the central bankers.
No, change isn't going to come from those behind the news cameras on teevee. They are owned and controlled buy guess who?
No, real change must begin somewhere else.
How about we START with the bloggers who have been shown to truly understand what's occurring so they can get the word out and build upon a base of solid mathematical and fundamental economic understanding?
It's TIME to begin those discussions now and to get organized. If we don't, when we reach the bottom of the 'C' there will be central bankers standing there with a stack of documents saying "sign here." I would love to show them the door in advance by having the people preempt their efforts with an effort of our own.
Getting started on a "one world" that actually works requires that we first get our own act together. I don't care how this is accomplished or by whom, as long as it is accomplished for the people.
I have some suggestions to start… most of what I'm talking about could be accomplished with two amendments to the Constitution. One that spells out and reiterates the goals of society and builds a long lasting, fundamentally sound dollar money system; the other spelling out the specifics for the separation of corporations and state.
Sure, it will never happen – people still have food and shelter and American Idol is still on teevee. Nate's just being over dramatic. Uh, huh – and home prices go up in value for ever and ever.

White House Still Divided On Further Action In Syria
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Melissa Block.
The broad regional implications of the war in Syria were made very clear this weekend as Israel carried out airstrikes on a military complex near the Syrian capital, Damascus. Those strikes reportedly targeted missiles headed from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Syrian activists claim dozens of government soldiers were killed. Israel has not formally confirmed it carried out those attacks, but the Assad regime called the strikes a declaration of war.
As for the implications for the U.S., well, Dexter Filkins of The New Yorker has been writing about the White House debate over whether and how to intervene in Syria, and he joins me now. Dexter Filkins, welcome.
DEXTER FILKINS: Hi.
BLOCK: We heard Senator John McCain over the weekend say that these Israeli airstrikes showed that Syrian air defenses can be penetrated, he said, rather easily. So does this, do you think, increase the pressure on the U.S. to carry out its own targeted precision strikes against Syrian military targets?
FILKINS: Boy, I don't know. I mean, I think to answer your question, yes, the U.S. can penetrate their air defenses, but I don't really think that was ever much of a problem to begin with. I think the larger question, though, you know, does this increase the pressure on Obama, I think it probably increases the political pressure on him.
But I think for, you know, frankly, anybody who is going to recommend military action needs to have a really clear idea about what that action is going to be and what the consequences are going to be and how easily we can turn it off and get out. I think, you know, this is the debate that we're having that's literally going on inside the White House: Do we or don't we?
BLOCK: Well, of course, President Obama has said that the game changer, in his words, would be Syria's use of chemical weapons, that that would be the red line. Today, at the White House, spokesman Jay Carney was asked about the likelihood that chemical weapons have been used by the Assad regime. Let's take a listen.
JAY CARNEY: We are highly skeptical of suggestions that the opposition could have or did use chemical weapons. We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime.
BLOCK: So the real question then, Dexter Filkins, is then what? What does - how does the U.S. respond? And you say that the Assad regime has been testing the U.S. resolve on that vow.
FILKINS: Well, it seems pretty clear. And I have a piece in The New Yorker magazine that came out today, and we spoke at length to an eyewitness to one of these attacks. And I have to say he was - he's pretty convincing.
It looks as though there's been about five places where Assad has - and it appears that it's the Assad regime that's used these - used chemical weapons, very small scale, hasn't killed a lot of people. They've been in contested areas, so they're very, very hard to get to. They're hard to verify. That's what it looks like he's doing. He's testing his arsenal, and he's testing us, frankly.
BLOCK: Well, if the United States were to try to take out Assad's chemical weapon sites, what are the concerns you've heard from administration officials and others on the dangers that that would pose?
FILKINS: Well, they're pretty terrifying. I mean, that's basically what - I just - I had an interview with Gary Samore, who is, until February, the chemical weapons chief in the White House. And he said all the options are horrifying, and I think what he meant by that was, OK, what can we do? Can we bomb? Can we just do the whole thing from the air? Maybe.
But, you know, you're talking about anywhere between 15 and 60 sites where there are chemical weapons. They're in civilian areas, heavily populated areas. Not in - it's not clear that we know where all the sites are. So if you bomb these sites, it's going to be pretty messy, and that means you're probably going to kill a lot of civilians, and you may end up actually releasing chemical gas, sarin gas, VX, that sort of thing, the very things that you're trying to stop.
And so the second option is obviously putting people on the ground to secure those sites. That - I think there was one Pentagon study that they did. This is some time ago. This is several months ago. The estimate was 75,000 troops.
BLOCK: People that it would take to secure the sites.
FILKINS: Yes. Yeah, yeah. Now imagine that. That's as many troops as the United States had in Afghanistan when President Obama came into office. Think about that for a second, what that means. 75,000 American soldiers will have to get into Syria, which is in the middle of a civil war, fight their way in, probably fight the regime, probably have to fight some of the rebel groups to get to the chemical weapons. Once they do that, if they do that, what conceivable incentive does Assad have against using whatever he has left against the Americans? So - chemical weapons against the Americans - so there is nothing easy there. That's like, all the options are pretty bad.
BLOCK: It would be one thing to try to take out the chemical weapons' sites from the air. Is anybody seriously talking about, you know, securing the sites on the ground, actually having boots on the ground to do that?
FILKINS: No. I think they're not, and that may be the problem. If bombing is as difficult as people say it is and if it may not work and we still want to take out those chemical weapons, then that's what we're talking about, talking about putting people on the ground.
BLOCK: I want to circle back to those Israeli air strikes in Syria. We mentioned that the targets, apparently, were missiles heading to Hezbollah from Iran. And you've written in the past, Dexter Filkins, about that Shiite axis: Syria, Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon.
FILKINS: Yeah.
BLOCK: How vital is the Syria link for Hezbollah?
FILKINS: It's totally vital. I mean - so, yeah, just for the people listening out there. If you just kind of stand back and look at a map of the Middle East, you can just draw a line, basically, from Iran to Damascus to Lebanon, where Hezbollah is, and then, of course, from Lebanon to Israel, it's right across the border. You can stand on the Lebanese border, you can literally see the Israeli houses.
And Iran was instrumental in creating Hezbollah, which is, you know, this very sophisticated armed group. It's huge. It's stronger than the Lebanese state. Iran was instrumental in creating them, and they have been instrumental from - since the 1980s in sustaining them. And Syria is kind of the conduit. So Hezbollah, the estimates are that they've got about 50,000 rockets and missiles, and most of that comes through Syria, from Iran. I mean, that's basically - that's the link.
So these - what the Israelis, I think, have made clear is that there's a very sort of, you know, delicate balance of power right now between Israel and Hezbollah, kept the peace, and everyone's being real careful. But the Israelis have made it clear that if Iran or Hezbollah tries to introduce weapons into Hezbollah's theater, into Lebanon, that would tilt the military balance against Israel, then they're going to act. But, yeah, the strikes over the weekend, not really related to the civil war, you know, per se. It's Hezbollah, and that's what, in a word, that's what Israel was going after.
BLOCK: That's Dexter Filkins. His article about U.S. policy in Syria in this week's New Yorker magazine is titled "The Thin Red Line." Dexter Filkins, thanks very much.
FILKINS: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Defense of the Ancients is a genre all unique to itself. Sure, the concepts are not brand new and the bulk of the original game was created using the Warcraft III World Editor, but the lasting appeal and standing reverence of the DotA genre continues today and shows no sign of slowing down. Part tower defense, part real-time strategy unit movement, this game type has experienced astounding growth all over the world over the last decade. As the genre grows, Defense of the Ancients-style games, or MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas), or ARTS (action real-time strategy), or... wait... what are we calling this genre?
My initial reaction to the entire naming fiasco was wonderfully summed up by Joystiq's own JC Fletcher: "Which giant company has the rights to the fan-created, community-promoted word 'Dota?'" He's right to be cynical -- justice will be meted out over a word that was born in the Blizzard maps community because of the actions of two super-huge gaming companies. That's not all there is to the story, however.
Therein lies the crux of the hot topic of the day -- Blizzard has finally thrown in its opposition of Valve's attempt to trademark the name Dota for its upcoming release of DOTA 2, a literal successor to the original DotA throne. The problem is that there are a whole bunch more facts, people, and anecdotes in this story than most people know.
I wrote a short post on the Dota trademark issue a few days ago that served as the basic of basics, what the news was about. Here's the short version: Valve is attempting to trademark a name that many gamers (and companies) consider to be a general term for the genre rather than the proper name for the game that spawned the genre. Hell, it could be both.

Guide to the bombing at the Boston Marathon
BOSTON (AP) -- An explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday killed three people and injured dozens more. An at-a-glance look at the facts in the case:___
Two bombs exploded about 10 seconds and 100 yards apart at about 2:50 p.m. Monday in Boston's Copley Square, near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 140 were injured. The explosions occurred four hours into the race and two hours after the winners had crossed the finish line, but thousands of runners were still on the course.
The FBI took charge of the investigation into the bombings, serving a warrant late Monday on an apartment in the suburban Boston town of Revere and appealing for any video, audio and still images taken by marathon spectators. No arrests had been made, and authorities weren't commenting about suspects.
President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will "feel the full weight of justice." The president was careful not to use the words "terrorism" or "terrorist attack" in his remarks, but a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding, said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.
The area around Copley Square remained closed Tuesday morning, as did exit ramps from major highways to the area. The Federal Aviation Administration barred low-flying aircraft within 3.5 miles of the site. Other cities also beefed up security in response to the bombing and the Secret Service expanded its security perimeter around the White House.
The FBI, U.S. Attorney's office and other law enforcement officials planned to brief the media at 9:30 a.m. Obama will be briefed Tuesday on the investigation and the ongoing response efforts from FBI Director Robert Mueller, homeland security assistant Lisa Monaco and other senior members of his team.

Sheetz to shake up top executives
Family members shuffle roles in Altoona-based company
The 60-year-old, family-owned Sheetz convenience store chain plans to shake up its team of top executives.
The Altoona-based chain says Stan Sheetz, who has been chief executive officer and president for 17 years, will become chairman of the board when a new fiscal year begins in October 2013.
Joe Sheetz, currently the company's executive vice president of finance and store development, will replace Stan Sheetz in those positions.
Meanwhile, board chairman Steve Sheetz will fill a newly created position, family council chairman.
The new position will let Steve Sheetz continue to represent family shareholders in company-related issues while remaining chairman of CLI Transport, the company that carries the gasoline sold at its stores.
Sheetz has more than 40 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.

Rural women play a critical role in the rural economies of both developed and developing countries. In most parts of the developing world they participate in crop production and livestock care, provide food, water and fuel for their families, and engage in off-farm activities to diversify their families' livelihoods. In addition, they carry out vital functions in caring for children, older persons and the sick.

Two important and interesting stories in the tourism sector at the moment. The first is about the strike at Rangali (which has ended now) which is one of the better resorts in the country and another is an attempted robbery at Baros which left one attacker dead.. the investigation continues. Links to both stories are here….
first story
at Haveeru
at Minivan
second story
at Minivan
at Haveeru
On the first issue, the protesting staff alleges discrimination of pay which is very common practice in resorts and elsewhere. Generally if two workers are employed in the same position and one being an expatriate and another local, the chances are that the local will get less. Its quite common and has been an issue protested over many times in different resorts and other businesses in the past as well. Another issue the protesters claim is that the employer holding back service charge which the resort denies. Although the strike is called off now we understand that the resort agreed to raise the service charge to levels in other similar level resorts which means agreement that service charge has been manipulated.
Under the labour law employers are required to pay all but 1% of service charges taken from guests to staff and yet most resorts withhold part of this income. But for a Hilton branded resort to go to this low to profiteer at the expense legitimate incomes of the staff is unbelievable!
On the issue of the attempted robbery at Baros , one attacker is known to have died and its not clear the circumstance of the death. However it is known that there are head injuries and that the attacker was pulled out from lagoon while trying to make escape after a scuffle with the staff. Its the second time this year that the robbers have attacked resorts and this time they were just not lucky enough. Resorts have to come up with better policies to protect the island and be more vigilant as the robbers are getting more daring and dangerous with each attack. Ideally the solution to these problems could be through policing and judicial system. However with the government and opposition parties firmly locked at horns, any useful measures to overhaul the judicial, and penitentiary system could not be expected. Its also understood that most of the violent and dangerous crimes that happen in the country are committed by hardened criminals who are released to the community in the midst of their prison term for various flimsy reasons.

We do not go to any games or events for sports. Not big fans of most sports, but even so, if we were, the cost to attend a game is costly for a family of four and it just would not fit into our budget. For the Super Bowl we go to a friend's house and bring a dish for potluck. We like to watch that game with the group, but we go mostly for the social interaction with everyone there.
I enjoy watching and attending Cincinnati Reds games but live on disability so have to watch my budget. Select games are 50% off for seniors over 60. I found some other aficionados from church so we carpooled and shared expenses. I abstained from buying any $8 beer and bought myself a 6 pack of imported beer when I got home; for $8. We had great fun and got to know each other
I'll very rarely attend sporting events, and when I do, it's either because a group from work or group of friends has planned an outing or because someone has given us free tickets. On just a very few occasions we've bought tickets ourselves, but we always bring our own sandwiches and sit in the cheap seats.
I use craigslist to buy some tickets. Ticket packages are also a good way of getting tickets for the family.
Very rarely do we go to sporting events. My son and I went to a Nascar race last year, but the tickets were under $25 a person, so we figured the experience was worth that much. We haven't been to any major sporting events besides this, but one of our "to-do" things with our children is to someday see a Bears game at Soldier Field. That will be worth it! But it is definitely a "we have to save a bunch so we can do this" kind of outing. It's a 6 hour drive to Chicago, not something you can do in one day.
We do -- and we're lucky enough to have friends and family with tickets to spare! But we also enjoy hitting up college sporting events... Other than football, the tickets are really reasonably priced -- anywhere from $5 to $15 for baseball, volleyball, etc.
I am a season ticket member for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I am only allowed to spend my "blow" money on them, and I have the cheapest tickets available. For under $1,000 a year, I get 40+ games (in most years) and first option on playoff tickets. I save my money all year to pay for next years tickets, and it is always paid with cash. Well worth it. I would never be able to go if I had to rely on the secondary market for tickets.
Yes, I go to sporting events! I try to get tickets from work at a discount. When I can't do that I use seat geek to find the best tickets at the cheapest prices!!!
absolutely, In Milwaukee the Brewers offer great deals to go to games... I can usually get an alight ticket for $20, and if I really need a ticket cheap they offer $10 and $1 obstructed view tickets the day of the game... plus the brewers are always having some sort of promotion to get cheap tickets! I will usually stop down at the ticket window a few days before the game to get the tickets and save money on service fees and other bs, so the face value of the ticket is the cost (ticket master and stub hub are known for adding bs fees, but sometimes you can find a good deal on stub hub) If I'm going to the game only 1 friend, We will go to one of the bars near the field, drink and eat there, and get bussed to the game from the bar for free... (total cost of parking is sometimes only the cost of a beer) If its a group, we go for the general parking area rather then preferred (a $5- $10 difference), and tailgate before the game
I go to a lot of sporting events: Local junior high and high school football, basketball, wrestling and track meets. That's it! But I live in a very rural area - 50 miles to the closest university, 140 miles to the closest amateur events and a long 5 hr drive one way to the nearest pro sporting team headquarters. We've driven that 5 hrs once with the kids to attend a pro baseball game with free tickets from my dh's work.
I don't go to sporting events often but when I do I definitely use Ticketmaster. In my opinion, its much easier to get my money back than say from Craigslist and eBay :)
Baseball is our spectator sport of choice. It's the most affordable of the professional sports. The SF Giants are our team. We used to go to minor league games (San Jose Giants) three or four times a season and we'd sometimes get to see a major league player doing rehab. Then we would go to two major league games as a splurge. To save money we would bring in food and plastic bottles of water. (I don't know if that's still allowed.) The kids would have a set amount that they could spend on a snack treat. Now that the kids are grown, we enjoy settling in with beer and popcorn in front of the TV.
Sometimes if we can find a great promotional deal or a military discount. Not something that we can afford to do on a constant basisEB
Yes! Love going to FC Dallas games, Texas Rangers baseball and more! I have been fortunate to find great deals on FC Dallas games on Groupon. Other tickets, I search the internet for discount codes.
I do NOT go to sporting events - never have. Just no interested in especially football which s so prevalent in the Southeast!
Madelyn Magruder
I used to go to sporting events before I had real bills. In my area, it is very expensive. On top of outragously priced tickets, it's expensive to even park your car.
best seats in the house are free. I stay home where I get good food, a clean bathroom and instant replay.

Very rarely do I go to sporting events. When I do, it's either for college basketball or the local minor league baseball team.
I love minor league baseball and our local team runs plenty of ticket/event specials that I take advantage of!
yes I do, but we usually buy them from friends, go to minor league games, or go to college games. cheaper and much more fun. i don't support the NFL at all though. they have become too ridiculous with their prices.
No, I don't go to sporting events. Too crowded, too expensive, too much drinking, too much of a hassle to park.
I liked wisebread.com on Facebook!
I am a homer, I love all of my home teams and I go to lots of sporting events. I live in Milwaukee so naturally I go to Milwaukee Brewer games. I bought a 10 +1 ticket pack this year and there is nothing like going to the ball park, having a hot dog and taking in a game. When I say nothing, that is until Green Bay Packers season. I have season tickets for the Packers. I try to make it to every home game and usually go to one away game. This year planning to go to Indianapolis. I still get chills going into Lambeau Field. If you hate the Packers but enjoy football, go there, you can smell and taste the history of the NFL as soon as you walk in the door.
I sometimes attend local sporting events and have attended college games and sporting events out of the area on occasion.
I liked Wisebread on Facebook!!!
We rarely go to professional sporting events, due to the cost. When my sons were younger, we'd go with Scouts or their sports teams when cheap group packages were available. When they were in high school, we attended the high school events, including the Championship games. Sometimes the boys are invited to go with friends when their families have extra tickets, but otherwise we just don't do this.
I love going to baseball games. Instead of going to major league games we often go to minor league games. Great fun for kids and the tickets are only $8. You'd be suprised at how nice some of the ball parks are. We love the Toledo MudHens!!
In general, no. Our household is not into sports. Our area does not even have a football team or anything other than a minor league baseball team . I guess we could watch automotive racing but other than that college football is as good as it gets here.
My husband and I often go to sporting events. I enjoy watching them in person much more than on the television.
As a HUGE baseball fan, I am fortunate enough to live a little over an hour from Pittsburgh...yet only 45 minutes from Altoona.
The difference? Big money...I can head to Altoona and catch a minor league (AA) baseball game for a fraction of the price! It is great that they happen to be a minor league affiliate for the Pirates, but it is professional baseball...and a great environment.
As St. Louis locals who live a few blocks from Busch Stadium, my girlfriend and I frequently go to Cardinals games. The tickets can be a little pricey at times--even for what would usually be considered cheap seats--but we usually keep an eye on StubHub and buy only when we can find a good deal. By doing that we can save money with out sacrificing quality.
I only go to sporting events when my friends offer their "extra" tickets--they're usually bigger fans and season ticket-holders, which means a free ticket is up for grabs sometimes.
I use to go often. I started with college football and pro baseball, eventually added pro hockey. Then I took a good look at how much money my (state) university spent on football compared to what the state (where primary and secondary education ranks very low nationally) spent on education overall and became disgusted with college sports in particular, and all paid sports in general. Now I see it as a big waste of money.
I'd rather watch paint dry. Or grass grow. Or go scrub my toilet. Or pretty much anything else, for that matter, than watch organised sport - especially the overpaid "professionals" who spend more time beating each other up than playing whatever sport they're supposed to be playing.
But each to their own.
Not really a big enough sports fan to go in person, which adds up to really big savings on tickets for us!
Neither my husband nor I are sports enthusiasts (of any sport) so we tend not to attend events. However, that has made us popular with friends who have kids because we will play with/watch the kids while our friends go to or watch the game :)
I tend to watch most games on TV but I do go to a few games throughout the season for the local Hockey team. I buy my ticket through ticketmaster exchange and buy resell tickets.
The only sporting events that we go to are the ones that involved someone we know so that's not many, not often, and not expensive.
My husband's sport interests are golf and auto racing so most sports spectating is done on the TV.
I love the picture on this post because I am a UT alum. I don't go to many sporting events anymore but when I was a student at UT I used to go to the football games and a few basketball games.
My husband and I usually just watch basketball, football, and soccer games on TV because tickets and concessions are so expensive, but we've gotten lucky and have been gifted tickets to a Clippers game and two Dodgers games before. When we do get to go, we really enjoy it! We'd definitely go more often if we had more spending money.
My husband and I love going to Washington Capitals games in DC. We're lucky enough to be able to use the military discount (he is in the Air Force) so we can save money. We also make sure to eat before we go to avoid the pricey food options at the stadium.
I occasionally go to sporting events, but not very often. Sometimes we get free tickets from my husband's work, and that is usually when we go.
We are a sports loving fmaily and have found numerous ways to save on tickets and the whole experience. We do look on Stubhub for cheap tickets and the very best tip I have for food is this-
We will take a package of all beef hot dogs and grill them at home. I would then place them in a thermos to keep them warm. I threw those hot dogs and a package of buns into a bag and carried them into Coors Field. Once inside we would use the condiment stand and load up the hot dogs for a real ballpark experience. For the cost of one hot dog bought inside the park, I could feed the whole family.
I've discovered minor league baseball! The stadiums are much smaller, so you're close to the action. The tickets are much cheaper; $10 for the best seats in the house. And since it's a AAA team, the action is still pretty good.
No, I don't go to sporting events. The only sport I watch is NFL, and I watch those games on TV.
Yes, we especially like to go hockey games and baseball games when our favorite teams play our local teams. To save money we typically only go a couple times each year. We would love to go more often.
Very rarely. I have no taste for crowds, tickets are expensive, concessions are outrageous. and the best view is infron of the TV. The exception is golf - I volunteer as a marshal once a season, and there are no crowds inside the ropes. There's nothing like hearing the swoosh of a pro-speed swing, and I've picked up some good lessons just watching the players and their caddies.
Nope. There aren't many sports venues barring Nascar in our area(we don't have a pro football or baseball team either just minor league), so we really don't watch sports.
I like to purchase discounted tickets from scorebig.com which includes free shipping. I only go to a few games a year. It is usually cheaper to go to weeknight games. Sometimes teams have discounted tickets by offering some kind of promotion. Last year the Mets allowed you to buy discounted tickets for certain games if you were willing to donate at least $1 to McDonalds charity. Buying tickets in person is sometimes cheaper since you can avoid paying fees. Late in the season if the team is bad people are more willing to unload their tickets below face value. You can use seatgeek.com to compare ticket prices.
I don't feel the need to go to sporting events anymore! Too damn expensive. I have a nice tv in my living room, a comfortable couch, and good food. Why would I leave? haha
liked and tweeted :)
No, I don't go to sporting events. My husband has, though, as a guest with other people who have bought tickets to sports games.
Mostly, I go to my son's games -- that's enough for me! My husband has a once-a-year bus trip to see the Philles, though. Once of his co-worker friends gets the tickets, and they go and have fun -- food included! :)
Yes we go to games that are local, school related, and/or minor league related to save money. Going on family nights and nights when they have deals like Thursday saves money as well.
Thank you for the contest.
You can tell that those who read personal finance blogs don't seem to be very representative of the country at large haha. I love sports in each and every way possible and will travel across the country to see my teams. In my personal opinion, going to see a Michigan Wolverines football game is the most fun you can have on earth, and I will go to a good game whenever possible. I live int he DC area and Nationals games are also pretty fun, and I will go to any other sporting event that I receive free tickets for of course haha.
I've gotten free tickets from work to baseball and football games and been given gifts to games for birthdays or Christmas, but if it's my own money, I only go to minor league baseball games. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but it's fun to sit so close to the game, to take my daughters who usually get a free baseball, free goodies at the gate and generally enjoy the outdoors. I can get great seats for $10 each, with no extravagant service charge like Ticketmaster.
These days I probably go to 1 or 2 baseball games a year, and I rarely buy any stadium food. I never buy souvernirs there. So it isn't TOO expensive.
I've been to a few sporting events. I particularly enjoy high school or college basketball games. Very seldom have I been to professional sporting events because the ticket costs are too high. Once, as a kid, I went to Fenway Park and saw Ted Williams bat, then years later I attended another game at Fenway. I sat in the cheapest bleachers. It was fun.
In rural Wyoming, high school sports are the big thing to attend. I try to make it down to Denver once every summer to take in a Colorado Rockies game, but it's a ten hour drive one way!

Born: 1932, Bialystok, Poland
Describes train ride across the Soviet Union [Interview: 1999]
Leo was seven years old when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939. Before the war, Leo's father was a mathematics teacher and member of the Bialystok City Council. Fearing arrest, Leo's father fled Bialystok for Vilna just before the German occupation. Leo and his mother eventually joined his father in Vilna. After the Soviets occupied Vilna, Leo's father obtained transit visas to Japan. The family left Vilna in December 1940, traveled across the Soviet Union on the Trans-Siberian Express, and arrived in Japan in January 1941. Leo's family obtained visas for the United States and immigrated in April 1941.

We now have a technical breakdown in the futures. There appears to be some sort of dislocation in the currency markets that's sending the dollar up sharply and stocks down sharply. We just broke beneath that SPX wedge and are right at the 820 area. Further selling will be trouble for the market, we're getting close to confirming a break of the pennants.
This morning retail sales came in higher for the first time in seven months (data from Econoday):
Retail sales actually surprised on the upside in January with a rebound and suggesting that the consumer is not yet down for the count. Overall retail sales rebounded 1.0 percent in January, after a 3.0 percent drop in December. The markets had expected a 0.8 percent decrease. Excluding motor vehicles, retail sales made a 0.9 percent comeback, after falling 3.2 percent in December. The January ex-auto jump was above the market expectation for a 0.5 percent decrease. Even though gasoline sales did boost spending, this was not the sole factor in overall strength. Excluding motor vehicles and gasoline, retail sales posted a 0.8 percent gain after a dropping 1.8 percent the month before.
While jobless claims were reportedly down for the week, continuing claims are at an all time record:
Contraction remains steady and severe in the labor market. Initial jobless claims came in at 623,000 in the Feb. 7 week vs. an upward revised 631,000 in the Jan. 31 week (626,000 first reported). The four-week average jumped over the 600,000 level, up 24,000 to 607,500. These are the worst levels since the early 80s.
Continuing claims are at their worst levels yet. Continuing claims for the Jan. 31 week rose 11,000 to a record 4.810 million. The unemployment rate of insured workers is unchanged at 3.6 percent.
Today's report is a reminder to the markets that the jobs market, the very foundation of the economy, continues to contract.
Foreclosure where down for the month of January as well.
The New York Fed is in talk to add four new firms to their list of primary dealers so that they can move the massive quantities of bonds that they are floating. If that's not a sign of the times, I don't know what is. I'll post a story on this later.
So, I'll do some investigating to the FX dislocations, the selling may be fear over the banks, but if that's the trigger, why did it just kick in now? Let's see. Anyway, new lows are here, on the DOW, the next support is all the way down at the pin lows. Watch for a retest of this break…
Have a good day, and we'll see you in the comments thread,

Alice Cooper—king of skeevy horror rock, eyeliner, and sports bars—has inspired two haunted attractions this fall at Universal theme parks. As part of Halloween Horror Nights, the singer's "demented and dark subconscious will come to life" in "Alice Cooper—Welcome To My Nightmare," a haunted maze at Universal Orlando, while fans at Universal Studios Hollywood get "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell 3D," yet another "terrifying maze" that "will beckon guests to experience hell's interminable inferno."
"Alice Cooper—Welcome To My Nightmare" is an homage to the goth and golf-loving singer's first solo album and "will put guests inside the haunted dreams of the album's recurring character, 'Steven,' as he endures the scream-inducing madness spawned" by the brains of Cooper and an army of Universal designers. "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell 3D" will somehow work 3D glasses into the whole maze equation, as if actual chainsaws and actors jumping around corners weren't terrifying enough.
Cooper is no stranger to horror-related art, having written more than two dozen dark, snake-infested records and appeared in several chilling movies, including Nightmare On Elm Street: Freddy's Dead and the recent Dark Shadows, which was terrifying in its badness.

Steve Kerr says he spoke with Phil Jackson about Knicks job
NEW YORK >> Steve Kerr said Sunday he spoke with Phil Jackson twice over the weekend and that they will continue discussing his potential of becoming coach of the New York Knicks.
Kerr said he had dinner with Jackson, his former coach and the new Knicks team president, on Friday night and they talked again Saturday. Kerr is in New York to work the game between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors for TNT.
"There's a lot to cover on both sides and this was the first time we've talked about the job. It just opened up last week and so we've got a lot of things to discuss," Kerr said.
Jackson fired Mike Woodson and the rest of the Knicks coaching staff after a 37-45 season, and again said he wasn't interested in returning to coaching.
Though Kerr has never been a coach, he has been mentioned as a candidate for the job since Jackson was hired in March. Jackson said last week he hoped to speak with Kerr soon to see gauge his desire to do the job, and it definitely interests Kerr.
"How could it not?" Kerr said. "I mean, it's the Knicks and it's Phil Jackson, my coach. So I'd be crazy not to look into it."
Kerr said he has wanted to coach since stepping down as Phoenix Suns general manager in 2010. He won three titles playing for Jackson in Chicago, and agreed with his former coach that they have similar views of the game.
"I know Phil last week said we share the same space, which I think is well said," Kerr said. "We share a lot of the same philosophies. I learned a lot of my basketball from him and Tex Winter, and so I think it's safe to say that we have a lot of the same ideas."
Winter taught the triangle offense and was a longtime Jackson assistant when he used the system to win an NBA-record 11 championships as a coach. Jackson said he won't insist the Knicks coach run it, but has made clear his belief in it.
Woodson went 109-79 with the Knicks, leading them last season to their first division championship since 1994, but was fired with a year left on his contract. He said Sunday on NBA TV that coaching the team that drafted him out of college was like a "dream come true."
"And the last two years, prior to coming into this season, was a good two seasons for our ballclub and our fans. And this year things just didn't work out," Woodson said. "Sometimes in life things just don't work out according to plan. But I look at it, overall, it was a good run."
Jackson said he doesn't have a timetable, though he hoped to have a coach in place by the July summer league. Kerr said it was tough to do things quickly because he's on the road so much of the spring working games.
He's been going to training camps and meeting with coaches, and wants to work with players instead of another role in a front office.
"I've been preparing for this and if it's something that feels like the right fit, it's something I'm going to do," Kerr said.

First of all: teenage boys and athletes foot. Ew!
Today was a hodgepodge. Also the 3rd time I've used that word in this blog—the last time less than a month ago. Do these words make me look old?!
hodgepodge (n.) also hodge podge, hodge-podge, early 15c., hogpoch, alteration of hotchpotch (late 14c.) "a kind of stew," especially "one made with goose, herbs, spices, wine, and other ingredients," earlier an Anglo-French legal term (late 13c.) meaning "collection of property in a common 'pot' before dividing it equally," from O.Fr. hochepot "stew, soup," first element from hocher "to shake," from a Germanic source (cf. M.H.G. hotzen "shake").
- Drove the twins to school
- Had a great Google Hangout with one of my Humane Ed professors
- Worked on the agenda handouts for SharePoint Saturday
- Missed a middle school volleyball game to keep an eye on our 14-year-old pug Bubba, who is not feeling so hot and is possibly not long for this world. {I've been carrying him up and down the stairs and to and from the backyard for a few days now, because he can't see anymore, he's very confused, and he's too weak to get around.}
- Hung out with my older step-daughter after school
- Watched a video and read {a little} for school
- Did not get outside
- Did not do yoga (last yoga = Sunday)
Tomorrow kicks off a very long weekend of SharePoint Saturday events. Judging from last year, it will be both fun and exhausting.
