Ho Chi Minh: Inspired by America's founders? AFP/Getty Images View Enlarged Image
History: Few comparisons have been as odious as the one offered by the president linking one of the great mass murderers of history to one of America's Founding Fathers and authors of our liberty.
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were mortal and inhumane enemies who joined civilization after their hideous barbarism was defeated.
They renounced their former brutality, acknowledged their guilt and shame, and became our strongest allies as they genuinely embraced liberty and democracy. They did not forget their past. They repudiated it.
Vietnam has never repudiated its past while celebrating a faux victory over an American enemy that was never defeated on the battlefield but only in the halls of a Congress that abandoned an ally and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
President Obama met with his Vietnamese counterpart, President Truong Tan Sang, last Thursday in the same Oval office where LBJ picked bombing targets in a war he micromanaged into futility. The 44th president conveniently forgot Vietnamese history and slandered ours by linking a founder of our democracy, Thomas Jefferson, to the mass murderer Ho Chi Minh.
Sang had brought Obama a copy of a letter sent to President Truman from Ho in which the communist dictator spoke hopefully of cooperation with America.
Obama, stopping short of yet another apology, mused about what might have been, and noted "we discussed the fact that Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the words of Thomas Jefferson."
That's technically true and historically accurate. Ho Chi Minh did frame the earliest portions of the 1945 Vietnam Declaration of Independence on the actual Declaration of Independence written by Jefferson in 1776. But while the future third president spoke of inalienable rights granted by his and our Creator, he meant it. Ho Chi Minh was only serious about the glory of the state.
Come to think of it, Obama is too, often leaving the word "Creator" out of any mention of our inalienable rights as mentioned in the declaration while he routinely ignores the Constitution and its restriction on his and federal powers.
To be charitable, one could claim Obama was just trying to humor a guest, as Trent Lott once did to Strom Thurmond.
But was it necessary to praise a man who killed approximately half a million people in an effort to consolidate his power, or to suggest ideological similarities between the architect of mass carnage and an author of liberty?
The nadir for President Obama's foreign policy was probably last April. Republican critics were calling him "weak" and "indecisive" after Russia's invasion of Crimea. A deflated Obama responded meekly that sometimes the best a president can do is to hit "singles" and "doubles." Obama still isn't ...
Public Service: In a hissy fit against budget cuts, the scandal-rocked IRS has retaliated by announcing that tax refund checks will be delayed this year. At the Internal Revenue Service, the customer comes last.'People have gotten very used to being able to file their return and quickly get a ...
Health Care: From Clinton to Obama, the left has long dreamed of imposing a single-payer health care system on the U.S. But Vermont's abrupt move last week to halt its single-payer plan suggests it can't work — and never will.If ever there were a state in the U.S. that would enact a ...
Diplomacy: The White House says Cuba's Raul Castro may soon visit. If he does, it'll be an ugly blot on President Obama's record. Since when does the U.S. welcome brutal military dictators into the people's house?Speaking to flabbergasted reporters, President Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said ...

At least the financial markets aren't stressed out

Financial market stress dropped to a seven-month low in the latest reporting week, according to the St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index.
For the week ending Dec. 27, 2013, the STLFSI measured -0.927, its lowest level since May. The STLFSI has been below zero for 101 consecutive weeks.
The STLFSI measures the degree of financial stress in the markets and is constructed from 18 weekly data points including interest rates, yield spreads and other indicators.
The average value of the index, which begins in late 1993, is designed to be zero. Thus, zero is viewed as representing normal financial market conditions. Values below zero suggest below-average financial market stress, while values above zero suggest above-average financial market stress.
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was established in 1914, after the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. The Eighth Federal Reserve District is headquartered in St. Louis and has branches in Memphis, Little Rock and Louisville, Ky.

Film Studies: War is hell - PR isn't much better
Sunday 15 October 2006
Iwo Jima was an island about 500 miles south of Tokyo. It was volcanic, and it was known for its black sand. Like many islands in the Pacific, it was not much to speak of and not valuable to hold. But it lay directly in the path of America's theoretical invasion of Japan. Moreover, Japanese forces had occupied the island and prepared their positions. Iwo Jima had to be attacked. The battle was fought in February and March of 1945, and when it was over the Japanese losses were 20,000 while 26,000 American Marines had been killed.
These deaths were a vital part of the calculation that a direct assault on Japan would result in as many as half-a-million losses. It was in July that the atom bomb would be tested for the first time. And by then, America had thrilled to a journalistic photograph of a group of Marines raising the American flag on the shattered peak of Iwo Jima. In the photo, the flag is not yet upright and the Marines are labouring over it. It looks like a Rodin bronze. The composition is "perfect" - but sometimes photographs are like that, aren't they?
This autumn that photo will live again in what may be not just the movie of the year, but one of those now rare occasions in which a mainstream entertainment picture captures the public spirit. Flags of Our Fathers may be a very important movie: only two weeks ago, with the opening and disappearance of All the King's Men in just a few days, official Hollywood was prepared to say no more "important" pictures, no more great novels, no more portraits of America. Just give the kids what they want. The re-make of Robert Penn Warren's novel, directed by Steven Zaillian, and with a dazzling cast (Sean Penn, Jude Law, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Ruffalo, Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson) was so complete and sudden a failure it left Hollywood power-brokers aghast at the condition of the audience.
But now people are seeing Flags of Our Fathers and beginning to marvel that Clint Eastwood, at 76, may have done it again. There have been books in recent years - by James Bradley and Ron Powers - that have reassessed the great photograph from the conclusion of the battle on Iwo Jima. I really don't mean to spoil the movie for you. Let me just say that there is a "great" photograph by Robert Capa of a Republican infantryman being shot and killed in the Spanish Civil War. It was a photo used to raise money and recruits in the war effort. It is a photo that has graced museum walls. But, over the years, under steady and tender scrutiny by scholars, it has been effectively proved as not a superb piece of journalism but an event staged for public consumption.
What that does to the quality of the photo may seem a small worry. But it is not - not in a war effort that requires full democratic support. And to say nothing of wars that never achieve anything like that support, and which jump the gun by throwing "Mission Accomplished" parties.
Flags of Our Fathers is a film about 1945, based on extensive research into the lives of the real men in the photo. It is unblinkingly factual, and it is being made for 2006 and because of where we are now.
Hitherto, in movie history, Iwo Jima was the subject of the 1949 classic, Sands of Iwo Jima, in which John Wayne played Sergeant Stryker, who trains unruly Marines before the big battle. That was conventional legend-polishing, and it is a very well-made combat film.
Flags of Our Fathers depicts combat according to the standards achieved in Saving Private Ryan. It has an immense realism, and it tries to observe the soldiers as real, grumbling, frightened grunts, instead of men lusting to be part of a great image. Eastwood's film is written by William Broyles and Paul Haggis, and it is co-produced by Steven Spielberg. It is the first film in which the balance of combat and public relations has been presented honestly.
It has a large cast and very few familiar faces. Eastwood has tried to make us believe in the ordinariness of these men. Not allowed to shoot on Iwo Jima, he went to Iceland instead and its own black sands. So, many of the extras and small roles are filled by Icelandic names. The credits are unexpected and charming, but I think viewers will forgive what is really a panorama of America and the world in 1945.
And this is what is far less well known. Apparently, as plans for the film were announced, a Japanese-American wrote to Eastwood and said, simply, don't forget to show what the Japanese soldiers felt. Eastwood had trouble enough on his hands with a big war production. But he was struck by the letter, and he determined to make two films. The second is the battle of Iwo Jima as seen and felt by the Japanese. It will be in the Japanese language, but Eastwood has directed it himself. It will show early next year.

... on the young male Johnny. He was so playful !! He actually started to pick up water with his trunk and throw it back at us!! He would also completely lay down in a more shallow part, and slap his trunk in our direction, resulting in us being soaked from head to toe!! So much fun!!!

River Kwae
... concern to anyone, considering that a woman just died a few meters away.
So we set out of the station in old railway car at 09:08 and were on the way into the jungle.
Suddenly we passed through a very large, brand new trainstation, seemingly in the middle of no-where, while all the other stations along the line had all seen much, much better days.
But then the journey really began, there was no air conditioning but the windows (and doors of course) ...
Bridge on the River Kwai (or Kwae Noi)
It was not by design, or part of our original plan but we ended up Rememberence Sunday travelling on the ''Death Railway", part of the Thailand - Burma railway, that was built during World War 2 by allied Prisoners of War. With around 6,000 British troops being amongst the estimated 100,000 people (American, Australian, Dutch, Malay troops and countless 'coolies' from India and China) who died at the hands of the Japanese it is a sobering journey as you travel from ...

... drunken views on various subjects, after a while and a couple more beers he left and we too went on to find a sports bar so Jason could watch the FA cup final. The next morning we woke up and got a motorbike taxi for 80 baht down to the Bridge over the river Kwai. We were lucky with our timing as by chance the train was passing, so we watched it go over the bridge, little things.... We finished up in Kanchanaburi and we're now heading off to Bangkok on the ...
The death railway
... Frog guesthouse we had found and were out to grab a bit of food and a drink. Fattened up we headed along the road to check out the Rasta bar we had spotted from the taxi earlier. Only to find it must have been a Rasta bar in a previous life and was now a girly bar that hadn't changed the decor. Not to worry a few doors down was the new and improved genuine Rasta bar so we chilled out the rest of the night before mooching back in a haze to grab some much needed sleep.

If Team Spain were an NBA franchise , how would they do in the league? I say for sure make the playoffs but not much better than a first round win.
- martianmurray - Jul 30, 2012 at 11:58 PM
Well Spain does have a strong frontline but I think Argentina would be the more competitive team, while Manu is healthy anyway.

Mark Ruffalo On Abortion: 'I Don't Want To Turn Back The Hands Of Time'
Mark Ruffalo spoke out on reproductive rights this weekend, penning a letter in support of a woman's right to choose. The 45-year-old actor's statements on abortion were read at a rally outside of Mississippi's last abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Ruffalo opened up about his own mother's experience with having an abortion, saying that she was "forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal," adding that the experience was "traumatizing" and "shameful and sleazy and demeaning."
"My mother's illegal abortion marked a time in America that we have worked long and hard to leave behind," Ruffalo went on. "It was a time when women were seen as second rate citizens who were not smart enough, nor responsible enough, nor capable enough to make decisions about their lives. It was a time that deserved to be left behind, and leave it behind we did, or so it seemed."
Ruffalo isn't the only celebrity to speak out in favor of reproductive rights as of late. Earlier this year, famous faces including Whitney Cummings, Stanley Tucci, and Mehcad Brooks released a PSA in support of the cause.
Take a look at Ruffalo's full remarks below:
I am a man. I could say this has nothing to do with me. Except I have two daughters and I have a mother who was forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal when she was a very young woman. It cost $600 cash. It was a traumatizing thing for her. It was shameful and sleazy and demeaning. When I heard the story I was aghast by the lowliness of a society that would make a woman do that. I could not understand its lack of humanity; today is no different.
What happened to my mother was a relic of an America that was not free nor equal nor very kind. My mother's illegal abortion marked a time in America that we have worked long and hard to leave behind. It was a time when women were seen as second rate citizens who were not smart enough, nor responsible enough, nor capable enough to make decisions about their lives. It was a time that deserved to be left behind, and leave it behind we did, or so it seemed. We made abortion and a woman's ability to be her own master a right. That right was codified into law. That law was the law of the land for decades.
My own mother fought to make herself more than a possession; she lived her life as a mother who chose when she would have children, and a wife who could earn a living if she so chose. I want my daughters to enjoy that same choice. I don't want to turn back the hands of time to when women shuttled across state lines in the thick of night to resolve an unwanted pregnancy, in a cheap hotel room just south of the state line. Where a transaction of $600 cash becomes the worth of a young woman's life.
So that is why I am lending my voice to you and your movement today. Because I actually trust the women I know. I trust them with their choices, I trust them with their bodies and I trust them with their children. I trust that they are decent enough and wise enough and worthy enough to carry the right of Abortion and not be forced to criminally exercise that Right at the risk of death or jail time.
There was no mistake in us making abortion legal and available on demand. That was what we call progress. Just like it was no mistake that we abolished institutional racism in this country around the same time. The easy thing to do is lay low, but then are we who we say we are? Do we actually stand for anything, if what we do stand for is under attack and we say nothing? There is nothing to be ashamed of here except to allow a radical and recessive group of people to bully and intimidate our mothers and sisters and daughters for exercising their right of choice. Or use terrorism and fanaticism to block their legal rights or take the lives of their caregivers. Or design legislation that would chip away at those rights disguised as reinforcing a woman's health.
I invite you to find your voice and let it be known that you stand for abortion rights and the dignity of a woman to be the master of her own life and body. I invite you to search your soul and ask yourself if you actually stand for what you say you stand for. Thank you for being here today and thank you for standing up for the women in my life.
Jack Nicholson has said his pro-life stance stems from being born out of wedlock himself. His mother, a showgirl, became pregnant with him as a teenager and was encouraged to have an abortion but did not.
It would be no surprise to see any number of country stars on this list, but Kenny Chesney may have taken his pro-life stance an extra step. His 2003 single "There Goes My Life," about a teenager preparing to become a father, has been lauded as an anti-abortion, pro-fatherhood anthem.
Mel Gibson told Barbara Walters in 1990 that he is opposed to birth control and abortion, saying, "God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we should be ready to accept them. One can't decide for oneself who comes into this world and who doesn't. That decision doesn't belong to us."
The Emmy-winning "Everybody Loves Raymond" actress has long been known as an outspoken Republican. In 1998 she became the honorary co-chair of Feminists for Life, a pro-life organization that aims to steer women away from choosing abortion.
Martin Sheen, who portrayed Democratic president Jed Bartlet on "The West Wing," discussed his devout Catholic upbringing and conservative viewpoints on an Irish talk show in 2011. He specifically mentioned being pro-life, but that didn't stop him from telling HuffPo that Mitt Romney is "stupid" and "arrogant."
Before becoming an actor, Ben Stein was a speechwriter for presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He's remained a well-known political and economic commentator and in 2003 was honored at the Tenth Annual Proudly Pro-Life Awards Dinner, hosted by the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund.
Kathy Ireland rose to fame in the 1980s as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, but, like her political beliefs, much of her work has since been comparatively conservative. In 2011, Ireland was the keynote speaker at the Council for Life's annual luncheon, where she professed her religious beliefs and detailed her journey to becoming a pro-life supporter.
A former atheist, Kirk Cameron famously became a born-again Christian at 17 while starring on "Growing Pains," which he then insisted had plots that were too inappropriate. He's since been an incredibly outspoken Republican, receiving intense backlash from the the Hollywood community in 2012 when he told Piers Morgan that homosexuality is "unnatural ... and ultimately destructive to foundations of civilization." He is currently a member of the evangelical Christian movement and has espoused anti-abortion ideology.
"I really don't believe in abortion," Justin Bieber told Rolling Stone in 2011. "It's like killing a baby." When asked about cases of rape, the pop star said, "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."
Having portrayed Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," it seems only appropriate that Jim Caviezel has proclaimed himself to be a devout Catholic. The actor told Catholic Digest in 2009 that being pro-life is more important to him than his career.
Andrea Bocelli first made his pro-life stance public in 2010 when he recorded a video discussing his mother's decision not to have an abortion even though she was encouraged to after coming down with appendicitis while pregnant. "Of course, personally I do not share the idea of being able to interrupt life arbitrarily," he told The Telegraph in 2011. "But I cannot be the judge of those who decide in a different way. As much as I can, I show them an example and act as a role model, because I believe this is the only way."

Apartment building sales taking off
Several major deals this year, with more in sector's pipeline
- Steve Ginsberg
- Reporter- Albuquerque Business First
- Email | Reporter RSS Feed
In a sluggish investor market for commercial properties, the multifamily sector has come alive.
Two apartment complex sales in the past month have generated nearly $45 million in investment from California buyers in the Duke City. More big deals are in the pipeline that will make 2012 the most active year for apartment sales in several years, say brokers who focus in this under-the-radar market.
The biggest deal so far in 2012 was announced in August, when Beverly Hills-based Aragon Holdings snapped up Broadstone Towne Center from Alliance Residential LLC.
The sale price was not announced, but brokers familiar with the deal peg it at around $35 million, which would make it one of the biggest sales in any commercial real estate sector in Albuquerque this year. There were five bidders for the modern complex near Albuquerque International Sunport.
Larry Clark, Aragon's president, said at the time that the city's population growth since 2000 and its lower unemployment rate compared to the nation's gave Aragon the confidence to make its first Albuquerque acquisition.
Clark could not be reached for comment for this story.
A combination of available financing and the sense that multifamily is a safer investment than office or retail projects is driving sales, according to Erik Olson, an apartment broker at NAI Maestas & Ward.
Obtaining financing for multifamily deals is far easier than getting a loan to acquire shopping centers or office buildings.
The government offers loans to buy apartment buildings, while borrowing is provided by banks and institutional lenders for other property, he said.

It was an ordinary day, not much different than the thousands of others that I've lived through. After making and pouring my morning coffee, I fired up my computer. There were no new emails, so I clicked over to Godlike Productions to see what today's doom forecast was. Godlike Productions is a conspiracy minded web forum that I liked to visit for shits and giggles.
"STHTF! Elite heading to their bunkers! METEOR impact EMINENT!" I clicked and took a look. It seems that someone's uncle works for DHS, and he tipped of the OP that a fifty mile wide asteroid had escaped the telescopes of the amateur astronomers, and the president, the Queen of England, Bill Gates, and Oprah were headed to Denver to hide in the massive underground city that was built there. Operation Oz Ark is what they called it. He said we have twelve hours before the SHTF. The Op had posted this @ 9 PM the previous evening. The clock on my com said it was now 8:14 A.M. The rest of the thread was various posters raising the bullshit flag.
I was suddenly startled by my dog howling at the window. I went over to see what the commotion was about, and I saw a huge fireball streaking across the sky. I rushed out my door and gazed upon it..
I had long suspected that I was the chosen one who would save mankind, mentioned on the site as the "NOBODY". Now was the time to put up or shut up, so I closed my eyes, raised my hands to the air, and imagined the asteroid being shifted to an alternate dimension. As the concussion turned my insides to jelly, I remember thinking "Shit! It wasn't me after all!"

What's The Best Italian Restaurant In New York?
In honor of Columbus Day and all things Italian, the Huffington Post has highlighted five of the tastiest Italian restaurants in New York. These restaurants represent the crème de la crème (that's French, we know) of Italian eating in all five boroughs. Or do they?
Tell us which ones we got wrong and which ones missed!
Just click the PARTICIPATE button below to upload your pictures and mark them on the MAP! If you don't have any pictures of the restaurant, a screengrab from Google Maps will work just fine.
So good Obama AND Bill Clinton ate there in September.
Big helpings of great food in the Bronx.
Southern Italian seafood at its finest.
Mario Batali's gem on Waverly Place.
The best Brooklyn has to offer.
suhr:Lidia Bastianich & her son, Joseph, opened Becco in the theater district in 1993. It is best known for its acclaimed $17.95 pre fix lunch menu & $22.95 pre fix dinner menu that includes a large assortment of Italian antipasti or a classics Caesar salad together with unlimited tableside servings of our 3 daily pasta preparations. Becco also offers an extensive a la carte menu including chicken, fish, veal, & pork entrees & a wide selection of Italian wines, all priced at $25.00 per bottle.

Jon Legere:HMMMMMM....
muzikteachr18042:Barbuto occupies a large, airy space with curving, garage-style doors, which open up to allow café tables to spill onto the sidewalk. With the doors closed, however, the room has a bare-bones, utilitarian feel, enhanced by café chairs, white-painted brick walls, and an open kitchen, where chef Jonathan Waxman himself (recently featured on "Top Chef Masters") can be seen wandering to and fro like a captain on his bridge, muttering commands, popping tasty morsels into his mouth, and tending to the wood-burning brick oven, which flames away in a fashionably rustic manner, against one wall. The small, aggressively seasonal menu (it changes nearly every day) also has a bare-bones, utilitarian feel, although almost everything on it tastes good. The spaghetti alla chitarra with eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano and guanciale, is a stand-out.
Ciaopiazza:"This place is fantastic!...If you're looking for one of the best Italian's in town go to Giano! Great service and a cozy atmosphere!" Named for the Roman god Janus, whose two heads face different directions, Giano looks to the past and to the future with both its food and décor.
LallaC:Real Roman Cuisine with also many dishes revisited and wonderfully created... creativity + tradition for a great great great meal... high quality wine list (you can find here wines from Regione Lazio), and AMAZING cocktails> Go for the Aperitivo, and you'll enjoy the cocktails and a wonderful buffet... need to say more?

Chasing my ball, swimming and camping are my favourite things to do. Show me a Pupperoni and I'll do any trick you want without commands.( that goes for cheese too) My stuffed toys are my favorite, and at midnight I usually spend 20 minutes throwing them and chasing them around the house. On my down time I've earned the reputation as a "lounge queen" as stretching out on the sofa is what relaxing is all about. I am really afraid of cats and I am a royal terror at the Vet's office. My most embarrassing moment was at the park chasing a ball and then running head first into a cement post, while checking out another dog. Gotta watch where your going. ...

Ireland 179 for 5 (Porterfield 53, Stirling 41, O'Brien 39) beat Uganda 97 (Dockrell 3-26, O'Brien 2-7) by 82 runs

Report : Ireland crush Canada to set up Netherlands clash
Players/Officials: George Dockrell | Kevin O'Brien | William Porterfield
Matches: Ireland v Uganda at Dubai (CA2)
Series/Tournaments: ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier
Sites: Cricinfo ICC Site
Ireland trounced Uganda by 82 runs in Dubai to put them in the playoff stages of the World Cup qualifiers. The victory margin matches Ireland's best in terms of runs, achieved in its first ever Twenty20 game, against Bangladesh A in 2008.
It was a game Ireland dominated from the start, with loose Uganda bowling allowing William Porterfield and Paul Stirling to race away with a stand of 78 off 7.2 overs, setting up a huge total of 179. Uganda never threatened to chase that and were bowled out in the final over.
Stirling, who has had a quiet tournament, was relieved to tee off in this compact, club-style ground complete with picket fences. Deusdedit Muhumuza's first over went for 21, and a second six was comically spilled by an Irish fan over the long-on boundary. He tried the shot once too often, and his hoick off the captain Davis Arinaitwe was held in the outfield by Arthur Kyobe. Ed Joyce didn't stay long but Gary Wilson kept Porterfield company for five overs. Porterfield made his second fifty of the week - off 39 balls - before Frank Nsubuga trapped him in front.
Ireland's rate slowed down as the boundaries dried up, hitting just two fours between the 7th and 17th overs, but the following over was a blaze. Twenty-eight runs flowed, mostly from the bat of Kevin O'Brien, who hit two fours and a six. Asadu Seiga delivered three no-balls, one of which was hit to the boundary.
Wilson and Trent Johnston fell in the next over, but O'Brien hit a stunning jab for six over mid- on and then bisected the gap at square-leg to give Ireland its second highest-total in Twenty20 cricket.
Needing nine an over, Uganda went for their shots early, and lost Kyobe to Johnston's third delivery and Nsubuga to his eighth. In the absence of John Mooney and Alex Cusack, Porterfield took the cue to give his fringe bowlers a spell. O'Brien picked up two more wickets and Nigel Jones bowled four tight overs for the scalp of Muhumuza.
Wickets continued to fall steadily, with the best of the lot coming when Joyce made a spectacular one-handed diving catch to dismiss Charles Waiswa off Andrew White. Ronald Ssemanda and Seiga tried to biff a few off the spinners as the run-rate climbed ludicrously, but George Dockrell was rewarded for his perseverance with two wickets in the final over as Uganda was bowled out for 97.
O'Brien was named the Man of the Match for his 39 off 20 balls, and two wickets.
"It's always nice to be there at the end hitting a few runs," O'Brien said. "We're performing well in all departments now, with the batters all coming into form and the opening bowlers firing at the top of the innings."
With Namibia continuing to win, Ireland may have to "do it the hard way" if they want to qualify for the finals in Sri Lanka.
"We have to win every game, but that's what we planned to do when we came out here," O'Brien said.
Coach Phil Simmons also revealed why he called up Andrew Poynter to replace Mooney, who flies home tomorrow with a torn hamstring that will sideline him for six to ten weeks.
"I thought about bringing Tim Murtagh but we've got seven or eight bowlers here and they're all doing their jobs. With Alex Cusack out for the next four days too, we have no batting cover so I think Andrew is the best call," Simmons said.

I'm planning a road trip for this August and am trying to figure out where to go...I am not a huge museum lover (though I will go to a few...I like learning about history vs. art)...and am really interested in a "southern experience" (if that exists!). Wondering if I should go to Montgomery or Birmingham or Atlanta or a combo of those? Which cities do you like best? Why? THANKS!
Montgomery or Birmingham or Atlanta?

Fly to Atlanta. See the King Center and maybe CNN and Coke. http://www.thekingcenter.org/
Take the Amtrak Crescent about 4.5 hours starting about 8:30AM to Birmingham. See what you want to see in Birmingham and then decide if you want to rent a car to go see Montgomery or anything else in Alabama.
The northbound Crescent leaves Birmingham mid-afternoon.
Fly back home from Atlanta or take the Crescent all the way to Washington DC if you like it.

It's. ROAD trip, Tom.
Where are you from?
Why are you taking this trip?
Where else are you going?
Are you doing it alone?
We need to know this kind of thing before we can help. If you are a 36 year old South African, my recs would be very different than if you were a 19 yo Ohio State student.
None of my recs, by the way, would include Atlanta.

I saw that you had 3 other threads open so I'm thinking that you are coming from Vancouver BC by yourself.
Either fly to Chicago or to Atlanta and drive from there if you don't like the train option from Chicago or Atlanta.
Both cities have pretty good public transportation. Rent the car and make a big loop. If you want to get to Washington DC from Atlanta ride the Crescent so that you are not paying a drop off fee or parking charges in DC.
I think you have a couple too many cities on your list.
You will not save any money by renting a camper van for this trip.

Thanks you two! Yes, I am a 26 year old teacher from Vancouver, Canada. I am taking this trip purely for fun - I have wanted to see this area for a long time so am finally taking the jump! I am going solo. I have a long list of places I want to see, but have haven't decided. Right now I am thinking of starting in either Atlanta/Nashville/Washington, DC. The only MUST SEE on my list is Nashville. Everything else is up in the air!
Report Abuse
Allie, you now have 3 or 4 threads about this trip, and have changed it pretty drastically.
Atlanta is a fine BIG city, but for a feeling of the South, it doesn't really qualify, IMO. Charleston and Savannah are wonderful southern cities, a LOT of history (without going in a museum!!) and very accessible with walking. I have always thought of Charleston as our most "European" city with reference to walkability, etc.
Birmingham (another big city) is fine, I'm sure. We went there last year specifically to eat at Frank Stitt's restaurant. Montgomery has the most poignant and beautiful monument to Civil Rights.
I suggested you start a loop in Charlotte for ease of return of a your rental car--which you also have a thread on.
That isn't the only possibility of course but it is more central than Nashville--and has more to see en route to somewhere else than Atlanta.
There's a lot of music a lot of places.
Report Abuse
Allie, how long will this road trip be?
I drove from Washington DC to Atlanta in one (long) day. You can see a lot in a big loop if you want - including Nashville - and you can choose virtually any city in that loop.
What is it exactly you want to see? Beaches? Coastal/marshes? Do you want to hang out on a beach? Do you want to go to the mountains? Why DC? What is it that you want to see in DC?
If you start in Charlotte (and you have lots of time for your road trip, how about the following with 2 or 3 days in each place:
Fly into Charlotte
drive to Charleston - 2 nights
drive to Savannah - 2 nights
drive to Jekyll Island GA - 2 nights
drive to Madison GA - 1 night
drive to somewhere in Atlanta - 2 nights
drive to Nashville - 2 nights
drive to Asheville - 2 nights
drive back to Charlotte to fly out
You could do the same loop by flying in/out of Atlanta or Nashville too
If you really want to see Washington DC either add some more time and/or shorten your time in the above cities
I would say no to B'ham or Montgomery in your loop

Thanks for all your responses! I am just going to be posting in this thread now:
as it was getting too confusing! Thanks!!

The first population recapture study of indigenous coypus Myocastor coypus is reported in protected areas of Argentine pampas within a region where the species is hunted for food and fur. Quarterly live trapping at two sites captured a high proportion of all coypus present (96% of juveniles; 85% of adults, independently of season, site and sex). Survival (from mortality or emigration) was constant across sites and seasons, and higher for juvenile males than females (88% and 71%, respectively) and lower for adult males than females (45% and 81%). Most turn-over in numbers was replaced by births, and immigrating males tended to be the largest individuals present. Sex ratios were male-biased amongst juveniles and female-biased amongst adults. Taken together, these results are consistent with local resource competition in habitat rendered low in quality by crowding inside the locally protected areas. The indigenous coypu population matured more slowly, and to a smaller maximum body size, than coypus studied in introduced populations in North America and particularly in northern Europe. Cold European winters may have contributed to the evolution of precocious sexual maturity and larger body sizes in European compared with indigenous populations.

Tom Taylor's cracked eye socket isn't serious enough to end his season.
Utility back Taylor, who was injured making a tackle during last Saturday night's 48-9 win over Auckland, had been told by a specialist he could be back playing in the National Provincial Championship as early as next month.
"It is the same sort of injury that Corey Flynn had for the Crusaders earlier this year," a Canterbury spokesperson said. "Hopefully it will settle down and he is back playing in several weeks time."
Flynn suffered a fractured eye socket when the Crusaders played the Stormers in Christchurch early March, returning to play against the Lions in Johannesburg a month later.
Taylor, who produced an impressive running display when he started at second five-eighth and kicked flawlessly to nail all six shots at goal at AMI Stadium, had scans on his face immediately after the match. It was deemed an operation wasn't necessary to repair the 3mm fracture but he needed to see a specialist late on Monday to determine how soon he could return.
Scott Robertson has named Rob Thompson to start at No 12 against Waikato in Hamilton tomorrow night. Jack Goodhue has been listed on the bench.
Matt Symons has been listed ahead of Joel Everson in the second row. Symons, who played for the Chiefs this season and will return to the franchise again next year, should relish this opportunity to perform in familiar Super Rugby territory.
Robertson knew he wouldn't get Colin Slade back from the All Blacks, with Steve Hansen wanting him on standby in case Aaron Cruden or Beauden Barrett succumb to illness or injury, and No 8 Nasi Manu has been given another week to rest after a busy schedule with the Highlanders.
While pleased with the unexpected walloping of Auckland, Robertson wasn't rolling around in delight.
"To be really hard on ourselves, I thought we went into our shells a little bit after halftime when we had a lot of opportunities to attack and we kicked," he said.
"We want to try and attack every time. That's our first mindset."
Being adventurous with the ball, especially near their own goal line, won't be encouraged in the early minutes or if the score is tight but he won't berate his players for attacking from the deep if the situation warrants it.
"If you are are chasing the game or you are up 30 or so, that [taking risks] is not too bad - something in between might make you feel a little bit anxious," Robertson mused.
"We have got a structure that we really stick to rigidly but when opportunities to really counter-attack like that open-up, let's play and that is our chance."
Waikato have retained the same side that beat Wellington 37-25 last weekend.
Canterbury: Richie Mo'unga, Patrick Osborne, Adam Whitelock, Rob Thompson, Johnny McNicholl, Tyler Bleyendaal, Willi Heinz (c), Luke Whitelock, Jed Brown, Matt Todd, Scott Barrett, Matt Symons, Nepo Laulala, Codie Taylor, Alex Hodgman. Reserves: Ben Funnell, Siate Tokolahi, Joel Everson, Tom Sanders, Mitchell Drummond, Jack Goodhue, Milford Keresoma.

What is it about the Denver Nuggets and getting crossed up?
First it was Kevin Durant putting the double-okie-doke on Darrell Arthur a few weeks ago. Then it was Golden State Warriors guard Andre Iguodala breaking Quincy Miller in half Thursday night with the crossover of the year.
WATCH: Andre Iguodala with the killer crossover on Nuggets' Quincy Miller
What is it about the Denver Nuggets and getting crossed up?
The difference? Durant finished his sick double crossover with the basket and the foul. Iguodala put another Nugget to shame, but didn't make the bucket.
Oh, and the Thunder won that game in March. The Warriors, on the other hand, lost 100-99 on a turnaround hook shot from Kenneth Faried with a half-second remaining.
Oh well. All anyone will remember is the crossover. See this story on newsok.com
