Alfonso Soriano of the New York Yankees named the American League Player of the Week
New York Yankees left fielder Alfonso Soriano has been named the American League Player of the Week for the period ending August 18th. The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network.
Soriano, who was acquired by New York in a July 26th trade with the Chicago Cubs, batted .484 (15-for-31) with a double, five homers, 18 RBI and nine runs scored over seven games to guide the Yankees to a 5-2 record as they remain in the hunt for a Postseason berth. This marks Alfonso's seventh career weekly award, last claiming the honor on May 18, 2008 while with the Cubs. Soriano won three A.L. Player of the Week Awards in his first stint with the Bronx Bombers, the last of those coming on September 21, 2003. Among Major League leaders for the week, Soriano paced all hitters in homers, RBI, slugging percentage (1.000), hits and total bases (31), and was tied for first overall in runs scored. Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim set the stage for a career week offensively as the 37-year-old slugger silenced a 1-for-16 slide with three hits, including a pair of homers and a career-best six RBI to lead the Yankees to a 14-7 win over the Halos at Yankee Stadium. On Wednesday, the Dominican Republic native showed no signs of slowing down, going 3-for-3 with a double, two homers and seven RBI in an 11-3 triumph over the Angels. Alfonso established a career high in RBI for the second straight game and in the process became just the third player in Major League history to collect at least six RBI in consecutive contests, joining Texas's Rusty Greer in 1997 and Milwaukee's Geoff Jenkins in 2001. Additionally, it marked the third time in his career that Alfonso notched multi-homer games on back-to-back days. After tallying four more hits in an 8-4 loss to the Angels on Thursday, the Soriano hit parade departed the Bronx for Fenway Park on Friday where the 15-year veteran went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI to lead New York to a 10-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. According to Elias, Soriano's 18 RBI over the four-game stretch from Tuesday to Friday matched Baseball's all-time mark for the most RBI in a four-game period since it became an official statistic in 1920, joining Jim Bottomley of the Cardinals (1929), the Yankees' Lou Gehrig (1930), Tony Lazzeri (1936) and Joe DiMaggio (1939), and Sammy Sosa of the Cubs (2002).
Other noteworthy performances last week included Detroit's Max Scherzer (18-1, 2.82 ERA in 2013), who became the fifth pitcher since 1912 to win 18 of his first 19 decisions in a season, and his teammate Miguel Cabrera (4 HR, 10 RBI); Minnesota's Andrew Albers (two-hit shutout vs. Cleveland on August 12th); Baltimore's Chris Davis (.409, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 2 2B); and Chicago's Chris Sale (2-0, 2.81 ERA, 1 BB, 14 SO).
In recognition of his American League Player of the Week Award, Alfonso Soriano will be awarded a watch courtesy of Game Time, the leader in licensed sports watches, available at MLB.com.

'Sons of God and the daughters of men' Who ?
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2011-01-21 02:14
Gen. 6: 1-4 is only an adaptation of an ancient legend. The cause that is attributed to the birth of mighty men of old before whom the Jews were like grasshoppers (Nu. 13: 33) is a mixed marriage which the Jews hated. Details cannot be pressed and none can be dogmatic as to who the sons of God and daughters of men were. The former could be either angels, or men in general or those who were the descendents of Seth and the latter women in general or daughters from the line of Cain (See Jerome Commentary or any, other good commentary). Mythological theme behind the J narrative is accepted and included in the Old Testament. The inspired author's contribution is the introduction of Jahweh in verse 3; The Jehovah said "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." Giants like Nephilim were born out of unholy alliance of the good with the evil and so the age of human being is reduced from 967 years of Methusaleh of the previous chapter to 120 years. The Deluge is also the punishment of such mixed marriages and the consequent wickedness of the off springs. The lesson for the modern student is that marriage partners should be carefully chosen from the sons of God and daughters of God and not from the wicked.

Mid-engine supercars are out of most peoples' price range. That's why there are kit cars. While many have been Volkswagen Beetle-based abominations, not all kit cars were created equal.
The Fiberfab Valkyrie started out as the poor man's answer to the Ford GT40, with later models being aimed more at DIY customers. This 1969 model is a DIYer's dream (or potential nightmare), and can be had for $4,000.
Much like it was in 1969, this one is in pieces, but the seller has collected most of the junk needed to build the car: a pair of small block Chevy engines (of undetermined functionality), a Corvair transaxle, and an assortment of other useful-looking stuff.
The mystery here is that this car is still disassembled after all these years. Was this particular kit ever put together, or has it just been resting in pieces since the Summer of Love?
Valkyrie kits were discontinued for a little while after Fiberfab was bought in the '70s, but they're available again now, brand new. I wonder if that means that you have to get all the modern day emissions and safety equipment on the car, or if you can somehow use a '66 Corvair wheel cover to make it legit without all that stuff.
At any rate, a kit car that has possibly been disassembled since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon sounds like it could be pure project car hell.

we arrived in Vienna after a long 23 days of travel, having not even intended to go to there at all. we were physically and emotionally exhausted. had no idea what the city had to offer. made no real plans. and ended up disembarking at the wrong train station, across the city from our hotel instead of within walking distance.
let me back up: a few weeks prior, while we were still in Turkey, the Istanbul airport bombing happened. we changed our itinerary to leave from Vienna after visiting Prague. I still have mixed feelings about this, but instead of going back to Istanbul we ended up with two days in Austria before departing for Taiwan. we settled on Vienna completely at random - only because it was the closest airport our airline used.
our time in Vienna turned out to be a very serendipitous thing.
not knowing anything other than "hey there's some museums in this area" Husband picked us out a nice hotel. really nice. with a breakfast spread that rivaled those we ate in Turkey, a quirky atmosphere, and the most awesome entryway wall mural. ever. Hotel Altstadt, you win. I'm trying not to develop an obsession with boutique hotels because they tend to be expensive, but staying in this place was a bit like sleeping in a modern art museum. which was really awesome. and kindof fit right in with the rest of our Vienna visit.
our stay went mostly like this: wander a random museum for a few hours until we get hungry or tired, stop for a glass of wine and some sausages or sachertorte. rinse and repeat.
we ended up seeing such a weird medley of things - just deciding "hey this looks interesting" and popping into a museum to explore. but I got to nerd out over Egyptian sarcophagi and scarab painted ceilings, snap photos of really cool murals, ogle dinosaur bones, and drink many many glasses of delicious wine. I don't think it's coincidence that in German, Vienna is Wien and wine is wein. by the transitive property: you must drink wein when in Wien.
there was actually a lot of synchronicity to what we saw. in some ways, I think it was fate that we ended up in Vienna. while we were in Turkey we visited Ephesus, where a large portion of excavations and restorations were being managed by the Austrians. it was the day after the bombing and I felt like I didn't really absorb much of what we saw. but in Vienna we saw an entire floor of a museum dedicated to Ephesus, and filled with statues removed from the actual site. it was almost like getting to go back for a second visit.
[sadly, the Turkish government shut down Austria's operations in Ephesus last month. this isn't the first time tensions have run high between these countries - at several points in history the Ottomans laid siege to Vienna. let's hope it doesn't come to that again.]
the connection with our time in the Czech Republic was even more obvious. without going too deep into history - Prague and Vienna have many ties through the Hapsburgs and the Holy Roman Empire. both cities spent time as the imperial seat, and while visiting the Imperial Treasury we saw crowns and royal robes from both periods of time [many boasting the Bohemian lion.] architecturally and decoratively the similarities between these cities were easy to spot. I guess that's what happens when you're all under the same rulers for three or four hundred years.
even though we didn't really plan, these coincidences just kept popping up during our time in Vienna. call it serendipity, synchronicity, or fate - it felt like we were closing the circle on our summer travels.
here's the list of recommendations I have for Vienna, based on our limited experience:
Hotel Altstadt // fun, funky, and walking distance to everything we saw and ate
Kunsthistorisches Museum // Egyptian antiquities [my favorite] plus Greeks, Romans, and paintings
The Neue Burg // Ephesos Museum, musical instruments, arms and armour
Natural History Museum // dinosaur bones! and a very impressive geological specimen collection
The Imperial Treasury // all the gold and sparkly things [along with imperial history]
Spanish Riding School // we stopped in the gift shop for Luke's equestrian-loving sisters
Cafe Bellaria // sachertorte and sausages since 1870
Gasthaus Sapa // seriously delicious Vietnamese. in Vienna. [don't question it]
TIAN Bistro // all vegetarian but you won't miss the meat
certain persons might mock me for missing out on all that Vienna has to offer. we didn't explore the city! you can see museums anywhere! not even once did we take public transit! but we did what we liked and it turned out just fine. I can't say I'm mad or disappointed with how we spent our time. especially because we could have missed THIS magical moment:
yes, those are two dudes wearing horse masks while playing accordions.
I think a lot of us travelers can become obsessed [ahem, myself] with planning out the details of our trip. sometimes "wasting your time" by wandering and stopping where things seem interesting is just the pace you need. while I'm still not thrilled about the reason we ended up in Vienna in the first place, it turned out to be the perfect city to spend a few days at the end of our travels.

Last week I shared a set of visualizations I made, exploring the history of The Avengers – the Marvel comic series which first appeared in 1963, and was last week released as a bombastic, blockbuster film (which, by the way, I enjoyed tremendously). I looked at the 570-issue archive as a whole, and tried to dig out some interesting patterns concerning female characters, robots, and gods (as far as I know, there are no female robot god avengers – though I guess Jocasta comes pretty close). If you missed that first post, you might want to give it a quick read right now, as I'll be picking up where I left off.
So far, the discussion has been mostly around the characters of the Avengers, at a collective level. Lots of data is available about each individual character, as well – for example we can look at any Avenger and see every appearance they've made over the last 50 years. Here's Captain America's record number of appearances:
And Iron Man, who's not too far behind:
An my personal favourite, Hawkeye:
In each of these graphics, I've marked the issues where the character has returned after a significant absence. We also, of course, see their first appearances (Hawkeye's being in issue #16th, 'The Old Order Changeth'). You can see a pile of other Avengers' 'appearance maps' in this Flickr Set – if there's another character you'd like to see, let me know.
For the first time here we can see that we can gets some information about the individual issues past the issue number. We can look at the title, the characters who appeared in the issue, the geographic locations involved in the issue (from Alaska to the Kree homeworld), and more (the Comic Vine API offers the possibility of concepts to be linked with individual issues as well, but this information hasn't been well-populated in the wiki).
One thing that you might have noticed from the graphics so far is that there are a lot of spikes – issues in which a lot of Avengers characters are present. The most spectacular example of these 'party issues' is Volume 3, #10, 'Pomp & Pageantry", in which a whopping 119 Avengers appeared! Here are all of these party issues since 1963:
We can see that these heaps-of-heroes issues are a pretty new phenomenon – and also that the current Avengers writer, Brian Michael Bendis, LOVES a party. He's written lots of issues with more than 30 avengers, and even a couple with more than 50.
Which brings us nicely into a discussion about creators. So far we've been focused mainly on fictional characters – what about the real people that made these comic books? Like, for example, Sam Rosen, and Artie Simek:
Mr. Rosen and Mr. Simek hand-lettered all of the dialogue, and drew all of the word balloons for most of the first 50 issues of the Avengers, most often alternating back and forth, issue to issue. They're part of a group of about 7 letterers who have been responsible for most of the Avengers typography:
Similarly, we can see that there are about 10 people who have been editors on the series for long stretches of time:
You don't see nearly this kind of consistency with pencillers:
Or inkers:
I wondered after getting a look at how these creators were involved in the history of the series, if perhaps they (particularly the writers & editors) might be responsible for some of the content decisions that I examined in the last. For example, are there certain editors or writers who included more female characters in their books?
I overlaid a heat map onto the creator maps just saw above, with red stripes to indicate a high number of female characters and blue/green stripes to indicate the boys-club issues. Here are all of the editors again:
And all of the writers:
While it probably begs for some statistical analysis, it does seem that the gender balance gets a boost when Jim Shooter takes up the series in the early 70s. Indeed, he's in charge during the high water mark of Avengers feminism in 1983-1984, a level which the series never gets back to.
We can see similar correlations for the numbers of gods/eternals per issue:
Or robots/synthezoids/androids per issue:
From these we can see that while Brian Michael Bendis DOES like to party, he DOESN'T particularly like robots, and definitely isn't a big fan of the gods.
Besides that, what have we learned from this two-part data-exploration of the Avengers? You've probably learned that I have too much time on my hands. I've learned that I really need to get my old collection out of storage and revisit some of these excellent stories. I've also learned that, if there's one form of punctuation that defined the silver age of comics… it's the ellipsis. So, to finish us off, here's a medley of the 53 ellipsified issues in the history of Earth's Mightiest Heroes:

Blackstar HT-60 Tube Guitar Amplifier
Free Delivery available on this product.
Buy Bajaao Premium Warranty- With Accidental Damage Cover & Free Pickup and Return T&C
Blackstar HT-60 Tube Guitar Amplifier
The Blackstar HT Stage 60's selected duet of EL34s deliver 60W of glorious tube power through 2 high-quality Celestion speakers, making for a combo that will deliver every night, even in the most testing live environment. The Blackstar amp's 'boutique' style clean channel is extremely versatile with 2 modes: 'British Class-A' and 'dynamic US'. Each of the amplifier's 2 ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) equipped overdrive channels allows a further 2 modes.
The Clean Channel on the Blackstar HT-60 combo has 2 modes, 'boutique' and 'modern' and its own Tone control provides a wide range of clean tones. The Voice switch reconfigures both the preamplifier voicing and gain structure, and the power amplifier damping, to reproduce either ringing Class A Performance in the 'boutique' mode, or very clean and tight Class AB tones in the 'modern' setting.
The Overdrive Channel has its own EQ section and a Voice switch that allows the character of the channel to be changed, providing a wide variety of overdriven tones. The channel is characterized by a tone that's high in gain, but lacks any of the detached top-end 'fizz' often found in similar designs. This is a result of the Blackstar HT-60 guitar amp's unique preamplifier and power amplifier shaping techniques, which cleans up the overdrive beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced. Even at the most extreme settings, the overdrive channel on the Blackstar Venue HT-60 amplifier remains natural sounding. The ISF control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility.
The ISF control shifts the response of the 3-control tone stack between a US-type response at one end, and at the other a UK-type response. The Blackstar tube amp provides an infinite number of alternative tone choices in between the 2 extremes that would be otherwise unavailable.
The Blackstar HT-60 guitar amp also features a completely natural sounding digital reverb, which is outstandingly musical on both clean and crunch tones and raises the benchmark for guitar amplifier specific reverb design. A Dark/Bright switch allows the overall reverb characteristics to be modified to suit different tastes and playing styles.

Piers Morgan has revealed that he's been hospitalized.
On Friday (January 11), the controversial 53-year-old columnist took to Twitter to break the news with a photo of him in a hospital gown and a nasal breathing tube. "Bad news… after some extensive hospital tests this morning it appears I'm not going to die," he jokes in the message. "I can only apologise for all the upset & offence I know this development will cause." PEOPLE reported that the photo was taken at the Bupa Cromwell Hospital in London.
While he didn't share any additional details about his hospitalization, U.K. tabloid, The Mirror, reported that the longtime TV staple will be back to work at Good Morning Britain on Monday, where he will also be making a statement about his health.
Back in November, Piers suffered from a cold that left him sweating profusely on the morning show and told co-host Charlotte Hawkins that he usually attempts to power through sick days. "I power on, I don't throw a sickie," he replied. "I only feel obliged because the viewers want to see me. When they all charge to their remotes to see me, why would I not be here, even if I'm dying?"

Gun-related recall efforts in Colorado carry risks
Gun-rights advocates furious over gun bills in the Colorado legislature have launched recall efforts against the state Senate president and a rural House lawmaker, and are talking about going after the governor and other Democratic politicians.
Democrats unveiled seven gun bills in February, immediately incurring the wrath of gun-rights advocates.
Two of the most controversial bills, assigning liability on assault weapons and banning concealed weapons on campuses, were killed by their Senate Democratic sponsors after hearings in the House and Senate that drew hundreds of gun-rights activists to the Capitol.
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper signed three bills into law: requiring universal background checks, charging gun customers for the costs of those checks and limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.
Two other bills, concerning online training for concealed- handgun permits and taking guns away from certain domestic-violence offenders, have passed the Senate and are awaiting debate in the House.
All of which has poured fuel on a blaze of criticism from gun-rights advocates and many Republican lawmakers, leading to the recall effort.
Still, the state's most hardball gun-rights advocate isn't sure a recall is the best strategy.
That dynamic underscores the strong hand Republicans believe the new gun-control laws have dealt them -- but also the peril they face in going forward with recalls.
Dudley Brown, director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, thinks the time and money would be better spent taking out Democrats in swing districts in the 2014 election.
To force an election, recall organizers have to collect petition signatures based on 25 percent of the total vote in the last election in that district.
In the case of Hickenlooper, that means submitting almost 450,000 signatures, a number Brown brings up whenever someone suggests recalling the governor.
"I'm like, 'Sure, that makes a lot of sense. Do you have $5 million to get the recall on the ballot?' " Brown said. "We don't even have a (Republican) candidate for 2014, so now we're going to try to push the election up to 150 days from now. Explain that logic to me."
It's a different story with Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs, Brown said, because only 7,178 signatures are needed to launch a recall election. Two separate recall efforts have been filed against Morse with the secretary of state, though, which could confuse the effort.
Morse, who introduced the most controversial gun bill -- one that would have assigned liability for assault weapons had it passed -- said he's not worried.
"If making Colorado safer from gun violence costs me my political career, it's an amazingly small price to pay," he said.
The first recall petition against Morse, who is term-limited after 2014, says in part: "This elected official is not properly representing the people whom have elected him. ... We shall not stand for a representative who stands to destroy our constitution."
The second petition accuses Morse in part of limiting public debate in the Senate, where many Coloradans who showed up to testify at gun hearings were turned away because of time constraints.
The Basic Freedom Defense Fund also is behind one of the Morse recalls.
"We thought we weren't being listened to by our elected officials, and we thought, 'How can we get their attention?' " Andrasik said. "It seemed that recalling them would be a great way to do that."
Political consultant Katy Atkinson, a Denver Republican who primarily works on ballot measures, said recalls are extremely difficult, but there is so much anger over the gun bills that the efforts might be successful. Unlike Brown, she said it would be an "awful embarrassment" for gun-rights activists if the efforts fail.
Around the Capitol, Republicans have expressed reservations about the recall effort.
"You want to strike while the iron is hot, but at the same time you don't want to waste money," said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. "It's a hard call."

When I was a boy growing up in the fifties and sixties there were two food groups, steak and Wheaties. We ate the steak because our parents told us to (my dad told me to eat steak and eggs before every basketball game – once I stopped doing that I jumped 12" higher) and I ate Wheaties because, well, we all wanted to be just like the cover focus, Bob Richards, and Olympian.
Today, I'm not only wiser, I'm older (the two don't always go hand-in-hand). Both those points just seem to happen without even trying, yet along with age and wisdom comes a need to alter some important areas of our lives; such as what we eat. As we all know, aging changes our bodies and malnutrition is one of the negative affects of not paying close enough attention to the needs of our changing metabolism.
Aging also affects our teeth, which in turn can affect what we choose to eat. Aging often impacts the number of medications we ingest, which can in turn affect how our bodies interact with certain food groups. As it turns out, there are many areas of the aging process that are directly affected by aging and most of those areas can be positively influenced if we just choose to eat better.
So let's review some of the super foods that can stave off the affects of old age.
Super foods:
There are many other foods, such as yogurt, carrots, almonds and walnuts, and even butter, that can improve the way your body processes food into nutrition. The point is, as you age, you change. As you change, so must your diet change. The old days of eating chips before a meal, having a big steak with mashed potatoes dripping with sour cream or a huge bowl of pasta a couple of nights a week are gone.
Portions must be smaller, food groups must change, and our attitude about foods must become healthier. It can actually be fun to learn and try new foods . . . Give it a whirl!

Enea has announced that Version 5.4 of its OSE real-time operating system adds symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support for multicore CPUs, beginning with Freescale's PowerPC-based MPC8641D and MPC8572DS processors. Other key features include a new demand pager that supports dynamic load modules, and an enhanced IP stack with IPv6 support.
"The majority of communications processors will be multicore processors by 2012," said Enea's Terry Pearson. "To help network equipment providers take full advantage of these high-performance processors in both the control and user plane, Enea is taking a two-pronged approach. First, to deliver an immediate performance boost with minimal impact on legacy applications, we are providing traditional SMP support. Meanwhile, we are working on a more advanced multicore architecture known as FlexMP that combines the performance and compatibility of SMP with the flexibility and real-time responsiveness of asymmetric multiprocessing."
OSE is a modular, high-performance, real-time operating system optimized for complex distributed systems. OSE's pre-emptive real-time response, memory protection, supervision, error handling, and run-time program loading is designed for building fault-tolerant distributed systems that offer deterministic real-time behavior with five nines or higher availability.
OSE employs a high-level message-passing programming model which, the company claims, makes complex applications easier to conceptualize, model, partition, and debug. It also provides transparency that separates applications from the details of the underlying hardware and physical topology, making the resulting code more portable and scalable.

The Scientific Book Club was a monthly publication that brought its readers tales from the world of modern science. The books were available to the public as well, but members enjoyed a discount off the cover price, and received the full-length, unabridged version just the same. The club operated out of 121 Charing Cross Road in London, under the umbrella of the much-beloved Foyles, one of London's most well-known booksellers. Foyles began operation in 1903, and, although now it is a very different animal, is still in operation today.
Foyles branched out into book club editions at the beginning of the 1930s, trying their hands at a travel book club, a children's book club, and more. There is little contemporary information publicly available about these clubs, but since all listed 121 Charing Cross Road as their address, it seems reasonable to assume that Foyles operated the lot of them. Surely the Scientific Book Club was the most memorable of these, delving into an assortment of subjects to dazzle the senses and inflame the brain, and leaving no corner of the scientific world unturned, ranging from underground subjects such as Caves and Cave Diving to underwater subjects such as Power from the Sea to lofty subjects such as Winged World: The Coming of the Air Age and everything in between.
The Scientific Book Club's boasted its selections as "vivid, vital, constructive contributions to Man's unceasing struggle to solve the problems of the Universe." The volumes were all non-fiction and published between the late 1930s and the early 1980s. Not only did its selections include every tangible corner of the universe, but they didn't shy away from intangible ones, either. Books that to some might be considered hokey, that straddled the line between science and spirituality, were still worthy of exploration, such as in The Search for Psychic Power or E.S.P.: Beyond Time and Distance. No topic was too taboo, either, and some of the monthly selections examined controversial topics. A good example is Drugs and the Mind by Robert S. Ropp, which was published in 1957 and provided a detailed history of drugs. It investigated and analysed the effects of mescaline, marijuana and more on the human brain, and questioned the physiological and psychological aspects of addiction.
Whatever your area of interest, the Scientific Book Club is a treasure trove of questions, conversations and answers about the elements that make up the life experience. The selection below is just the beginning of the titles available, so be sure to explore.

Target jumped ahead of both tradition and its competitors Tuesday to air its first holiday ad weeks before most shoppers have even bought Halloween candy.
Target also pledged to match prices offered by select online rivals this holiday season, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, Toysrus.com and babiesrus.com, CEO Gregg Steinhafel told reporters. The price-match program will go from Nov. 1 through Dec. 16.
The retailer says it will extend the price-match policy for items from brick-and-mortar competitors. It will also include prices offered by Target.com for the first time.
If a shopper buys a product at Target stores between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 and then finds it for less at Target.com, or in a local rival's printed ad, Target will match the price.

Few more thoughts:
- My initial reaction to this whole thing was that Childress decided to take an extreme action against Moss not only because of his growing disdain for Moss, but also out of frustration for his team's record, the criticism he gets regularly in general and especially for the criticism he gets for not controlling his team/Favre. Seemed like a classic case of someone who is stressed from multiple issues building up and merging together – which can lead to one huge stress event (in this case, the unilateral decision to jettison Moss). Seemed really stupid and as much as I think Moss behaves like an idiot (it's hard to force your way out of NE, they usually decide to abruptly cut/trade veterans when THEY are ready…see Richard Seymour), I figured this was mostly just another boneheaded move by Childress.
- Then I found out a bit more – that Moss had publicly berated a caterer at the Vikings' facility for the food they brought in – apparently one of those shame moments when you feel so badly/embarrassed for the beratee, if you will, that you want to puke (or just punch the berater, as it were). The accounts of some of his teammates made it sound like he was totally out of control saying rude things. That's not "Randy just being Randy, hahaha"… – that's totally uncalled for and there is no place for that kind of thing anywhere. And I don't know this for sure but it was implied that Moss did this to someone from a restaurant where players/possibly Childress knew folks. Sounds like it was personal for Childress. Upon reading that, I'll admit, a part of me thought for a moment: I guess I don't blame Childress.
- Then I thought more about the Vikes giving up a 3rd round pick and lots of cash. Then I thought about the fact that even when he doesn't try, Randy is still valuable because he's been opening things up nicely for Harvin (who is now injured, by the way). Then I thought about how Childress went solo with this effort, not consulting Wilf – which is a terrible idea. Then I thought about how the Vikes had to know that even though Moss is apparently older now, he had a recent falling out in NE, so he was still at risk for troubling behavior. Then I thought of that line in Airplane: "they knew what they were getting into, I say, let them crash".
- Then ultimately, I circled back to my original conclusion: Childress acted hastily here. He should have brought what may have been a fairly solid case against Moss, to Wilf. He could have cited Moss' post-game comments, his clear lack of effort and his berating of some poor restaurant employee. Wilf probably would have listened and they may have even disciplined Moss (maybe, Moss had a behavior clause in his contract that he violated…if he didn't have this in his contract…umm, why not?). But I'll say it again, I think a not-so-small factor in all of this also may have been Childress' bruised ego. He's been blasted repeatedly for not standing up to Favre. He's often criticized generally when things go wrong (because he deserves it and he generally sucks). And there has been a growing feeling all year that he just doesn't have control of his team. So what does a bad manager/coach do in a situation when cynical defensiveness no longer seems to work? Get offensive and misdirect anger. I think that's what happened here and it's the kind of thing that usually gets a guy fired (especially with a future head coach waiting in the wings like Leslie Frazier).

Article content
There has not been a signing around the NHL -- certainly not for the Montreal Canadiens in recent times -- that has more layers and nods and winks than the two-year deal signed by defenceman P.K. Subban.
The 23-year-old signed a two-year, $5.75 million deal Monday after missing a truncated training camp and the Habs' first four games during a negotiation that at times some predicted would end with the Canadiens dealing away the polarizing talent.
The news of his signing was greeted with interesting reactions in the Canadiens dressing room Tuesday.
"I'm only going to talk about tonight's game and tomorrow night's game," said Habs top defenceman Andrei Markov. "He's not in the room yet. We'll talk about it when he's in the room."
Others addressed the blueliner's impending return.
"It's good news and good that it's over," said veteran winger Erik Cole Tuesday morning as the Canadiens prepared for their game Tuesday night with the Winnipeg Jets at the Bell Centre.
But it doesn't seem to be over at all.
It just seems to be beginning, or at least entering another stage.
There is no questioning Subban's considerable talent. There are few in the NHL who skate better. He often hits as hard as anybody in the league. He plays both ends of the rink, a threat at the point with a good one-timer and was a plus-9 last year on a 15th-place team playing against the other teams' top players.
He plays with exuberance, but he has also been criticized for not knowing his place (remember Mike Richards' comments a couple of years ago?). He's an engaging, articulate and animated interview which apparently rubs some in the game the wrong way.
The narrative here in the wake of Subban's return to the Habs's circle is whether he can park his ego and be a good teammate.
Only people in the dressing room, where the stares from the black and white portraits of the Habs' Hall of Famers gaze down, do people really know what's what.
Certainly the perception -- and that becomes the reality here -- is Subban takes up a lot of air in the dressing room.
The question was asked of both Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin and coach Michel Therrien about Subban fitting into the team concept.
The agenda is set.
"Like all the guys, I'm expecting that he's going to buy into the team concept because this is something we try to build with the team and the players in place really buy into the team concept," said Therrien.
"That he wants to be on the team and help the team win shows he's not selfish. In any walk of life a little part of you is selfish, but the fact that P.K. wants to come in and help the team shows he puts the team first," said Bergevin.
"P.K. is not really different than some other young hockey players," said one team insider. "There are times when young players do things for themselves. Young players have to learn to be accountable to two things: the game and your teammates."
Maybe I missed it, but there didn't seem to be any rumblings of Michael Del Zotto putting himself before the New York Rangers' collective interest when he went unsigned. Or Jamie Benn in Dallas.
It is normal protocol in situations such as this for teammates to separate team and business with the prevailing attitude being there are times when players have to take care of business and, to fall back on what has become a trite phrase, to "take care of their families."
That was Bergevin's take, saying there are times when players have to take care of business.
But among some here, Subban was not granted the grace of dealing with his contract as he saw fit and was being selfish and putting himself before the team by pursuing what he viewed as his fair market value.
"It's a relief to know we don't have to come in here and answer these questions anymore," said Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges, who was Subban's partner for much of last season.
True, what had obviously been a distraction has been removed.
But depending on where things go from here, the questions might not be done.

As NATO leaders discuss the winding down of its 10-year war in Afghanistan and pat themselves on the back for helping in the bloody ouster of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya, there is one increasingly deadly conflict that is taboo for the alliance to even think about wading into: Syria.
Practically every NATO leader has publicly condemned the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and called for him to step down and make way for a democratic transition in Syria. Yet U.S. ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder said Sunday that not one leader even raised the issue of Syria during the opening day of the summit.
While saying NATO is "very much concerned about the situation of Syria," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen made clear the alliance has "no intention whatsoever to intervene."
NATO's radio silence has prompted criticism among human rights groups and on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers for question why the alliance supported military intervention in Libya but has ruled out similar action in Syria. One congressional source called the refusal to even talk about the issue "pretty shocking."
Sen. John McCain, an outspoken proponent of U.S.-led intervention on Syria, has called it "shameful" that NATO has stood by while the Syrian people are hammered by the regime's heavily armed forces. McCain lobbied unsuccessfully to get the Syria issue on the formal agenda at the Chicago summit.
"Is it now the policy of NATO that we will stand by as rulers kill their people by the thousands and our alliance won't even discuss what we might do to help stop them?" McCain asked in a recent speech. "Shame on us and shame on the alliance, if we neglect our responsibilities to support brave peoples who are struggling and dying in an unfair fight for the same values that are at the heart of our alliance."
U.S. officials and other NATO diplomats argue that Syria's sectarian make-up and its divided opposition make military intervention a gamble that could lead to further bloodshed and instability, as it did after the U.S.-led invasion of neighboring Iraq in 2003.
"There is a clear difference between Libya and Syria. We took responsibility for the operation in Libya to protect the civilian population because we had a clear mandate from the United Nations, and we got clear support from a number of countries in the region," Rasmussen said Sunday in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union." "None of these conditions are fulfilled when it comes to Syria."
They also point to war-weary populations and slashed defense budgets throughout the alliance, which make another NATO intervention unfeasible.
"Nobody is keen to ask questions that they don't want answered," one senior official said of the lack of discussion on the Syria issue in Chicago. "There is no point of a vigorous plea if you aren't ready to back it up."
NATO leaders have individually backed implementation of the April 11 cease-fire brokered by U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan, but in the same breath have acknowledged the deal has failed to stem the regime's assault. Syrian human rights groups estimate nearly 12,000 people have died since the uprising began, more than 900 since the truce took effect
David Kramer, president of the Freedom House, a pro-democracy group, says the mixed messages on the Annan plan, coupled with an unwillingness to consider more robust action, signal to al-Assad a lack of international resolve that encourages him to continue the crackdown.
"It's incomprehensible to me why NATO officials publicly say they are doing zero planning," Kramer said. "Why telegraph to Assad what our limits are?"
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey said U.S. and NATO military leaders in April had explored possible military outcomes in Syria should Western powers decide to remove al-Assad by force.
In Jordan, U.S. Army Green Berets are training Jordanian special forces in a number of "worst-case scenarios," including Syria's chemical and biological weapons falling out of the control of government forces, U.S. sources tell CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr.
Turkey's recent threat to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter further raised hopes among opposition supporters that the alliance could play a role in the conflict. Article 5 claims that an attack against one NATO member can be considered an attack on the entire alliance.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara was considering the move after al-Assad forces fired into Turkish territory in pursuit of rebels who had fled across the border. Some NATO diplomats expected Turkey to at least ask for formal NATO consultations on this issue at the Chicago summit, which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the alliance would be ready to consider.
But in Chicago, Turkish officials remained silent, as did the alliance's 27 other members, including the United States.
In the summit's final declaration, NATO members pledged to strengthen partnerships with non-NATO members to deal with global threats, as it did in Afghanistan and more recently in Libya.
Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, says NATO should be discussing how to form such a coalition for acting in Syria with countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates before the situation becomes more dangerous and al-Assad considers even more brutal action, such as using Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons.
"It is the biggest conflict waging on NATO's border," Volker said. "How many dead Syrians are enough? If he were out there with chemical weapons, would we stand by and do nothing, even if the Security Council was blocked by the Russians? I don't think so. So is there a threshold of human catastrophe? And if you are convinced Assad is going to cross that threshold, isn't it better to do something before he does?"
It's a very profound set of questions, which NATO is not yet ready to answer.

Few of the American and west journalist really understand what is going is Syria, the rest is submitted to the national media propaganda, what you are seeing on TV and news papers is only one side of the story, besides NATO intervention in Libya cost 100 thousand deaths, the vast majority of the Syrian people consider NATO intervention is as occupation and they totally reject it.
War Poopaganda for da pooples of demockracy's la la land.
Its the same reason we went after Hitler and left Stalin alone. Stalin killed his own people, Hitler killed other people.
Your options are as follows
1. Get rid of him and let the militant, extremist, Moslems have access to one of the best militaries in the region
2. Leave him alone and let him do our job for us.
Its a pretty simple choice, I mean the summit thought so.
Syria's extremely formidable air-defense system is the biggest reason for NATO and US caution. The other is not wanting Al-Qaeda to have access to weapons of mass destruction.
Assad can only be killed by his inner circle. He has too much eye's like u.s. and Israel blinking at him with ambugious siganls of course.
This article, including its title reflects the coldness of the Zionists and their supporters. The media, mainly zionist jews if you have noticed, has recently stopped reporting on Syria, while atrocities are going on there. I will say it again, regardless of how blunt and off base it may sound: Assad + Mossad = Death to Syrians and invitation to world war. U.S and West is deliberately keeping Assad in power, knowing fully sectarian wars will slowly weaken the country, so Israel and U.S. can go on with their merry agendas of imperalism and creation of refugees and terrorists.
Your sentiment though not uncommon is misplaced. That is the view that everything that does or does not happen in the world is because of the US or in the Middle East because of the US and Isreal. Assad's tightest ally is Iran. The US would love to make a surgical strike on Syria to take out Assad or better yet ask the Turks to do so. The problem is Russia and China who share the same false paranoia about US hegemony. The world complains when the US does intervene and then again when it does not. The US should not have to salve all problems. Russia and China needs to lead themselves sometimes not just prevent the US from doing so in the vacuum they leave.
What if no one helped out during US revolution. Every one desires to simply be free. Most revolutions have to have lots of sacrifice.
Every revolution required patience, persistence and efforts of many. Although one person can have a great impact, he or she cannot make revolutionary changes without the help of others who also seek justice.
Why Assad shouldn't worry about NATO ? Russia&China have told US "enough w/your psycho B S......VETO X 2 .
You seemed to miss the boat. Syria'a Assad is a minority, and majority does not want him. Assad can kill manyand get away with it, because U.S. and West know his a secular from a minority sect of Islam, thus the more he kills the majority sunni's the more pleased the powers will be; sad but true.
You missed the boat.The 70-80% Moderate Sunni, Syrian National Army is protecting All of their brothers/sisters in secular sovereignty of Syria. Majority population of regular Syrians All backgrounds support them and national unity/reform fiercely.
As said, American and European people think they understand the syrian crisis better than the syrian people themselves, I am Syrian , I am an old opponent, but I don't suport the current islamic extremist opposition in syrian, the so caller free syrian army is a collction of extremists, unemployed, and traffickers, national media does not speak about the crimes of the armes islamic opossition, the syrian army which has gained the repsect of most of the syrians now.
Assad has been stupid enough to leave his military out in the open. A two day bombing campaign will turn half of all Syrian military involved in the atrocities into wreckage and burnt corpses, which of course they deserve.
Assad is being guided by Israel's MOSSAD; in case you didn't know.
Where the proof of what you're saying?
I can smell your brain cells burning.
American politicians and the US public sure were silent about Iraqi civilian deaths as the US military destroyed Iraq killing 30,000 in the Shock and Awe bombardment and invasion and nearly one million dead as a result of the criminal occupation. Two-faced without shame.
So does the Syrian Government pay by the month for moronic comments made on CNN, or do they pay by the word, or by the number of postings? It's kind of like a "Tokyo Rose Franchise" operated in Damascus. It is easy to spot. So 60 years of Gestapo like oppression by the Assad Family and the complicity of neighboring Arab governments is not the issue. Somehow it is now the fault of the US for not acting quickly enough. Eventually the US and NATO will intervene directly. Perhaps 20 minutes after the US Presidential Election. The conflict will last about 2 weeks to 20 days. After that, Mr. Assad and his lovely wife will be on display in cages at the Hague. Stay tuned. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, B.A., J.D., S.P.J.
Your death toll for shock and awe is infalted by a factor of 1,000.
Possible UN and NATO intervention was all about BLOOD MONEY and blind support of Israel.
Was this post paid for by the Syrian Intelligence Service?
Okay seriously for all the "outraged" posts, there are a lot of very important differences between Syria and Egypt. Political (to Syria and Egypt), cultural, geographic, etc... And Egypt produced, what 2% of the world's oil?? Not a factor.
I find it hypocritical that there is so much condemnation about Syria while little is mentioned of the brutality of the western-backed Bahranian government.
by Allah for Allah leave them alones why any of us one to be in betwins the loving hearts of Muslims and Islams loving ways or do you wanted to be love like them . kill youself in where you're to make your relatives help you with nice fernerals .Keep $$$$$ and smarts bombs at home use them later where is need.
NATO will never attack Assad, because he has been really good and calm towards his Israeli neighbors. He is a fake pan-Arabist. Therefore Syrians must stop asking help from the West and start looking for help somewhere else. The West only acts in Israel's interests.
The NATO countries have pulled a fast one in Libya grossly misusing the concerned resolution of the UNSC.They are therefore checkmated on Syria.
It is not our war. Best to stay out.
I tell ya all, if everyone would think like Anthony this world would be a better place to live. This is the most intelligent comment i saw here today.
The US is not out, it is never out. The US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Quatar are giving weapons and money to the mercenaries. They are not interested in peace or democracy. The usual suspects.
Too bad the US is helping run weapons and getting KLA (!) to help in the terrorist car bombings. US gov't sociopaths are the largest to civility.
All other things aside, I wonder what al-Assad is going to do with his country when he has destroyed every city but Damascus?
Rebuild with British or American companies. Business is business.
If the world would move on Syria then they would topple the last line ally that Iran has in the world. The easiest way to close in on the Iranian nuclear game is to bring the Assad regime down ideally using pan-arab forces.
So far we just sit back and let the world see what happens when we don't get involved. For all of China and Russia's stalling to block us from interventing (thinking they were smart), they lost big in this. They lost tons of credibility and the world now knows what a planet without the US looks like.
So we just sit back and watch the fireworks. Hey, don't blame us. Blame Russia and China for deliberately sabotaging a condemnation of Assad's violence.
Then stop arming the terrorists.
I totally agree with David.
David, when WE armed them, they were 'allies'.
This is a loss for the American/Israeli war machine. It was never about protecting civilians. We were looking to overthrow Iran's biggest ally for Israel.
The thing that is preventing war with Syria is IRAN, RUSSIA AND CHINA. Russia and Iran have military ships docked in Syria and soldier on the ground. War with Syria means War with Russia, China and Iran. This means WWIII and Nato is not looking to start WWIII at this time. I gurantee that if Russia and Iran were not there, Syria would already be at War with Nato and looking like Libya.
Touch Syria and you might have a small chance, touch Iran today and tomorrow there won't be anything left alive on this planet anymore.
I'm glad they're there. It's preventing more war.
Then comes the ICC bug!!!,is it relevant anymore?was it meant for Africa alone?nearly 85% of the cases come 4rm africa,soon we'l hear even chicken theft being handle there.let them leave africans(black monkeys)'as they call' handle there issues alone.
Syria probably doesn't have enough oil worth stealing. That's why we've never attacked North Korea.
Here's another one who knows the truth. I agree.
Is it too late for us to join the League of Nations? Even they got better press than NATO.
TO MR. ANALYST ,coptic christians in Egypt are not getting massacared as YOU CLAIM. More than 10 millions coptic christians live in Egypt. They own more than 40% of the national resources of Egypt economy. Many of them are patriotics and died in the wars with Israel. Most of the intellectuals and the highly educated are christians .So shut up and stop your filthy propaganda. Look what happen to muslims and jews in spain , look what happen to the jews in the european holocast that is a massacre.
CNN POST COMMENT is becaming a forum of hate and propaganda. This is not any more a free speech. Profane language, false facts, venom spilled from the mouth of zionist, fanatic christians and Assad thugs are all over. CNN to be held accountable to such reporting. Syrian revolution is not made of retarded people.All the element of syrian society are participating. Syria does not need NATO intervetion or the west charity; syrians are capable of gettting rid of ASSAD regime and is comming soon.
All the forums are composed of mostly uncivil people that can't tolerate anyone thinking or believing anything they don't. The end result is hate and propaganda. The very concept of civil discussion doesn't exist.
lol your post is quite ironic. People are pissed off and they have every right to be.
No, assad is well aware of who is coming to syria. We have been monitoring syria for a while, so yep I am coming, be it in my sweats or uniform it does not matter I'm still the TRINITY!
you would think that a writer on CNN would get his article proofread. it's just disappointing to see grammatical errors from a professional
If you would focus less on grammatical errors and more on what this world is heading toward to then you would do this world a big favor. Who cares if someone makes grammatical errors, as long as the message go thru.
I think it would be absolutely hilarious if Sarah Palin filled her anus with quick drying concrete.
if the moneys right, $ister $arah is down for anything.
Are you going to spout the same line on every CNN article or just a few? I am in no way a Palin fan but get some hew material moron.
Sound like a 12 years old to me.
They have mess up in Libya and the cost of keeping their troops is rising in Afghanistan. Their reputation is tarnished in the face of the world and no one will support NATO in any move to fight again in Syria. NATO is irrelevant.
US should stop westernizing the world.
Please quit using our western stuff than. Like oh, the internet that you are using to communicate your feelings. "Westernization" is something that occurs because people like something about the west. Whether it be the music, movies, or McDonald's for the most part westernization will occur whether or not the US pursues democratic ideals in different regions.
Heck I say go for it if Eygpt thinks they can have a Democracy based on Islamic Principles. It will fail because there are many different philosephies of Islam, Sunni and Shia are just the best known.You can't have freedom based upon religion, you can have religion based on freedom. This is simply due to the fact we all believe something different than eachother, including our own parents.
Oh yeah democracy, a fiction word. Wake up US we here you talking about how good is your democracy is, but the fact of the matter is you don't have any so called freedom anymore. You have your own government spying on it's citizens, you have drones that flies above your cities and about to blow one of your houses down on a false flag that you are making bombs. You cannot even go to an airport without having a bunch nymphomaniacs searching you and touching your genitals That's what your democracy brought you.
The silence of the Lambs=NATO.
Is NATO even relevant anymore? I believe that it is time for revision.
If you dance with the devil, expect to get scalded by devilcum..
No oil in Syria compared to Libya oil rich fields.
Need an air war, then get the rebuild work after he's gone. Win-win.
A drone should do the trick.
Duh! Why didn't I think of that! lol – It isn't that simple Raj, as much as some people that want war make it to be. It is very complicated, and one drone would be shut down within the first 60 minutes over Syria trying to do reconnaissance. Besides that might set of a war that no one wants, but a handful of politicians in foreign countries, and oh yeah, and McCain! Is he still breathing? He must be a fossil by now, I know his ideologies are a thing of antiquities. He needs to give it a rest and go into retirement.
Yes a drone will do the work, but will NATO risk a hit on Russian troops. Russian also has the S300 anti-aircraft or missile defense system in Syria that will bring down the Drones. They also have capabicity to control the drone like how they did in Iran.
Syrians should "Saddam" Assad before he gets a "Gadhafi"
That's almost funny if it wasn't so medieval..
The West couldn't care less about Russia or China. As it says in the article, any outside intervention would just bring even more bloodshed. Besides if Syria falls into radical Muslim government, the non-muslim minorities will be massacred. So let them kill each other. Any doubt about this just look into Egypt or Libya. Christians in Egypt are being massacred and the government just watch, and Lybia is in the brink of civil war. So, yes, Western intervention does not solve the problem instead making it worse for the peaceful minorities.
it certainly seems that way as we look back into our history. Our interventions have not solved anyone's problems. The oil supply is dwindling and thank God for that....populations are exploding as many people embrace their religions to a radical extreme. Where is the sensibility ? the wisdom ? the peace movements ? we seem doomed to weed the garden with toxicity and destruction. Humans are a complicated breed.
we won our own freedom 200 years ago from a nation that was a superpower in that era. i cant see why other nations cant help them selfs. If we can do it so can you! Im tired of the U.S. Trying to police the world and stop ruliers killing there own ppl. If they cant fight for them selfs, why the hell should we die for there freedom? eather learn to fight dirty or just sit there and take it. But dont send our sons and daughters to fight a battle for a ppl that will one day curse our names for not intervineing sooner.
We couldnt have done it without france. Dont hurt meh! But this is not like our revolution at all. These people are going ot turn their system upside down and get rid of everyone serving a major govt post. NTM it will be a big change from a secular govt to a theocratic one. The US kept most major govt institutions in place, and most govt officials probably got to keep their jobs. i.e. it wasnt a shakedown from the bottom up.
Yeah because we had missiles and rockets and tanks and helicopters and mortars back in 1776... The French didn't help and it didn't take 3-4 months for the British to cross over the Atlantic.. It is not like the British had super secret powerful weapons besides it's massive navy...the Syrian people are using ak-47 and RPGs against tanks, fighter jets, bombers, and a host of other weapons.. Are you seriously that naive to say it is comparible?
Then the US needs to get out of the policy of trying to change the world to our standards and proping up dictators like the Shah of Iran, Batista in Cuba, Noreiga in Panama, and a few other so say "democratic leaders" that turn out to be ruthless scum. As you stated, if they wnat to be free then let them strive for it but again we don't need to interfere. As for our fight for freedom, we had help from the Spanish and the French and that is only because they had their own bones to pick with England, not just because they loved freedom.
The problem is nobody is waking up, an election would be coming and everyone jump on the wagon and go voting. People are blind by nature, Thats what you get when you elect psychopaths. Can't you see it, even the police is a club med for attracting psychopaths. When a cops kills someone and the news help those cops covering it up and other cops help in covering it up and the police chief lies on TV right in your face. What you end up with is, being a police officer is an open playground for serial killers to do whatever they want without the fear of being arrested and paying for their crime. No better place for dangerous people to get into. Same thing goes for politicians and world leaders. That is you see rise of people ganging together and becomes terrorist, the system is making them. People who are being controlled and have no more freedoms will become terrorist because they can't survive anymore. They nothing left. My predictions is it will not be a war within two countries, but a war in each and every country soon, people against the system. And that will not be something nice. The world governments is asking for this and that's what they will get, because they were too money and power hungry that, they never thought of that being a sure thing. to come in he future.
"Is it now the policy of NATO that we will stand by as rulers kill their people by the thousands and our alliance won't even discuss what we might do to help stop them?"
Not our problem, never was.
Syria and Israel signed a tacit peace agreement in 1974 that has stood solid. Now with Al Quada getting more involved in the uprising in Syria, and most likely to take charge of it, President Assad now has a real enemy on his hands which will be very difficult to take on. Israel now has good reeason to worry with Al Quada on their very doorstep.
Most dictators are basically stupid. President Assad is no exception with the way he handled this uprising in a clumsy idiotic way. What he should do right now is make a real peace agreement with Israel. With that the US and their allies would be on his side all the way.
Sam: I don't know why you think most dictators are stupid. I have not seen any evidence of that. You wrote of Assad handling the uprising in a clumsy way. I am not sure I agree with that, either. His goal was to suppress the uprising and retain power. He seems to be succeeding. As to Assad making a treaty with Israel: that's hard to imagine. Even if Assad and the Syrians wanted such a treaty, I'm not sure that Israel would. And why would Assad want Israel and the U.S. with him? He seems to be doing pretty well without us.
I would like to add, its not just the dictators that are stupid some of these commentators like this guy, don't have that many marbles to work with neither,
I think we should make a museum with all the idiotic comments, that turn up here and there, specially the admiration comments for the assads and the ghadafis of this world !!!!
If he made any move towards making peace with Israel Iran would have cut them off comepletely and his ability to suppress the uprisings would have been cut off at the knees for an extended period of time. NTM he would have had many mnay more defectors in the military and upper levels of govt. I really think you underestimate the blind hatred for Israel by these people.
Assad is a war criminal now. There's no way we can let him lead his people after this. With the advanced weaponry widely available today the Syrian people don't stand a chance. The West just watches and does nothing out of a fear of angering Russia and China. If you refuse to help people in their hour of need resentment might just be the enemy that comes back to bite us in the end. That's what makes a suicide bomber. Resent and hate. Peoples families are being murdered and we send people to watch.
No , hopefully we are starting to learn a lesson. Dont just help everyone that asks for it. They will end up hating you for some reason in the end. We cant win. The only countries that have been successful after a conflict with the US are the one we completely decimated. Maybe we should go back to that tactic.
Lee S. please would you tell me which countries you guys have decimated, it surely wasn't Vietnam because at the rate you guys were dying if that lasted 1 year more there wouldn't be any male left alive in US at the time. Iraq or Afghanistan? I don't think so, there's more killing there than ever, more terrorist now than ever. Korea? No not that one either. Cuba? It brought you close to a nuclear war and Russia had more nuclear missiles pointed at you than you could ask for.. Now tell me, which country or countries you guys have decimated.
The UN may be forced to leave yet, they have had some close calls, it is only a matter of time. In my humble opinion is the best thing for Israel who was not involved in the uprising is to see the mercenary army bogged down and culled and for Assad to survive and take his revenge on those that did.

Healthcare. Medicare. Rights. Pre-existing conditions. Freedom to choose. Insurance. Free market. Single-payer.
I find myself unsure of where I stand on the current, RAGING, healthcare debate. This, of course, has raised the ire of several of my friends. It has surely caused them to think I'm the demon spawn they always knew I must be. And it's even been remarked that I'm a traitor to San Francisco (which, really, WTF?!).
On the one hand, FORTY-SEVEN MILLION Americans uninsured. On the other hand, I'm terrified of turning over the reins of healthcare to a government that can't even properly manage its existing agencies -- seriously, have you tried to get something pushed through the SSA or the IRS lately?
So many of the arguments coming out of both ends of the political spectrum are clearly meant to polarize the members of each party, but they do no good helping our more moderate citizens break down the issues, the proposed solutions, and the long-term results of each.
For my own part, here are some of the key factors I'm looking at as I try to navigate these very muddy waters:
- Is health insurance really a right? From the perspective of the Bill of Rights, not so much. On the other hand, I do agree that providing basic healthcare is a humanitarian issue, and shame on us if we can't make it so. The challenge here, of course, is defining "basic healthcare."
- Pre-existing conditions... what a can of worms. If we are really calling this "insurance", then you SHOULD have to pay higher premiums if you have a pre-existing condition which makes you a greater insurance risk. My own father, who was self-employed, paid $700 per month in premiums because of his Pulmonary Fibrosis. While that sucked for him, it's the nature of insurance.
If we really want to force the hand of insurers against higher premiums for such conditions, then let's stop calling it insurance, and start calling it welfare, because that's what it will be. Wouldn't allowing insurers to compete across state lines create a system of supply-and-demand that could drive those costs down naturally?
- I'm also extremely conflicted about the free-market aspect of health care. What other service or product do consumers in America partake of before asking what it will cost? How have we become a nation of people so ill-equipped to manage our own medical finances? So afraid to ask, "what will this cost?" How can we lambast the insurers (for whom, believe me, I have no love) when we are unwilling to take control of our own healthcare costs, and instead leave them to negotiate with highly trained clinicians for what we deserve and what we should pay for it? And honestly, do you think the government will handle it any better?
- Why isn't medical malpractice thoroughly addressed anywhere in these discussions? Have you looked at the figures that some doctors pay for insurance, and the utterly egregious punitive damages that have been rewarded by juries lately? Of COURSE doctors order tests and scans and specialists that may not be necessary -- we've put them in a perpetual state of CYA. I mean, did you know that you can actually sue a doctor for "wrongful life"?
- On the flip side of all of these points are the emotions tied to my own personal experiences. Watching my father who, in the last months of his life could hardly work but wasn't eligible for disability, scrape together $8400 a year for his premiums, plus another $2000 in deductibles. Injuring my ankle last year, and seeing the Urgent Care center bill my insurance nearly $2500 for a lot of ridiculous stuff: $300 for crutches I could have bought retail for $150; $95 for a shot of painkiller that I didn't ask for and didn't actually need; $250 for 5 minutes with a Physician's Assistant who signed a form authorizing an X-Ray. And a bill at the end, for me, of nearly $1500 because the plan my small employer can afford covers only a minimum of urgent care. Meeting a 3rd grader whose eyeglass prescription is badly outdated because the minimal insurance his parents have doesn't cover vision care -- how can that kid be expected to do well in class when he can't see the blackboard?
I fully support healthcare reform. I know it has to be done, and I know that we are facing a growing firestorm if it doesn't happen soon. But I worry that the current administration's plan is actually moving TOO fast; I fear that it is not looking at long-term solutions to the issues, and is slapping a Band-Aid over a wound that actually needs a few stitches. And I worry that many of us are choosing sides based on emotion over logic, idealism over reality.
Where do you stand on the issue? What has made you a believer (or a non-believer) in President Obama's proposed healthcare changes? Please weigh in, and let's have a smart discussion in the comments.

For the New Year, a few small changes in your eating habits can yield big results.
Do you remember the resolutions you made last year? If you're like most people, you probably vowed to eat better, get more exercise – and maybe floss more often. So, looking back, how did it go? Did you accomplish all you set out to do? Or, did you start the year out strong – then fell back on your old patterns?
You're not alone. With nearly 80% of resolutions failing by February, it's not surprising to find yourself making the same resolutions again this year.
This may surprise you, but I think that's okay – and here's why. If you make the decision every January to shape up, then you're saying that taking better care of yourself matters a lot. If it weren't important, you wouldn't keep working at it. And just because you make the same promises to yourself every year, it doesn't necessarily mean you didn't accomplish anything in 2018.
Here are some ideas to help you reflect on your accomplishments and inspire you to jumpstart this year's resolutions:
Any Improvement is Good
Maybe you didn't exercise as much as you planned, or ate as carefully as you intended. But if you're still doing better than you were the year before, maybe it's because you managed to chip away at a few bad habits. And that's great – because the little changes in the way you do things every single day can really add up. And, you can continue to build on these small successes throughout the year.
Don't Do Too Much at Once
It's great to be ambitious, but if you try to tackle too many changes at once, you could be setting yourself up for defeat. Making resolutions is the easy part – making them stick is what's hard because you have to do things differently. It takes time to undo a bad habit, which is why repetition is so important. But it's a lot easier to repeat a small, relatively easy task than one that seems positively Herculean.
Identify the Obstacles
In order to achieve your goals, you have to figure out what's getting in the way of your progress.
Find out why you're not doing what you plan to do, and how you can make it easier. It's easy to say you're going to eat more fruits and vegetables, but it's hard to do if you don't keep them in the house. But that's not enough.
Once you've got them in the house, you have to make it easier for yourself to eat them. So maybe you make sure to keep a stash of fruit in the freezer to add to protein shakes. Try keeping a bowl of fruit on your kitchen counter to remind you that fruit makes a great snack. Or, keep some cut up veggies handy in the refrigerator where you'll see them every time you open the door looking for something to munch on.
But most importantly, set realistic goals to whatever changes you plan to make and make them specific – not "I'm going to bring my lunch to work more often", but "I'm going to bring my lunch to work twice a week." That way, at the end of the week, it's easy to determine if you've met your goal or not.
Small Changes Do Add Up
And just because the changes are small, doesn't mean they don't add up. If that twice-weekly homemade lunch has 300 fewer calories than your usual lunch from a restaurant, that's a savings of over 31,000 calories in a year, which could translate into a loss of 9 pounds. If you grab a piece of fruit instead of a bowl of ice cream every night after dinner, drop another 10 pounds by next January…from just that one small change.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing about how the small changes you make can add up – changes in the way you shop, prepare and serve your food, and changes in the way you approach menus and restaurant dining. I'll give you my best tips for making changes that will last – adding up to small wins that will help you lead a healthier and happier life this year and in the future.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Sen. Charles Schumer says cutting the excise tax on small breweries will help them grow their businesses, hire new employees and revitalize communities.
Schumer is slated to be in Watkins Glen Monday afternoon to visit Rooster Fish Brewing and talk about the Small BREW Act of 2013. The legislation would cut the excise tax on small breweries in half, from $7 to $3.50 per barrel for the first 60,000 barrels they brew per year.
Rooster Fish is one of New York's first "Farm Breweries" which means they use 20 percent local products in their blends. Rooster Fish expects to produce 1,500 barrels of beer in 2013. It employs about 50 people.
Schumer says the proposed tax cut would save the brewery more than $5,250 per year based on this year's production.
