Garden Closed for Cleanup
BBG will remain closed to the public on Tuesday, August 30, while staff continue to clean up after Hurricane Irene. Much was accomplished today, however, BBG's Horticulture team needs additional time to assess the integrity of collections as well as safety for visitors.
This morning, tall annuals and vines looked windblown and leaves and fruit littered the grounds. Yet under today's blue skies, most of the Garden looked remarkably vibrant.
"Considering the amount of rain we had already had this month, and the sustained high winds over the weekend, I think we are lucky not to see more extensive damage to the collection," says Leonard Paul, BBG foreman of grounds.
I am happy to read that there was not major damage at the Botanical Gardens. I love visiting, and am looking forward to tomorrow evening's member's night.
Thanks for your great work.
Tom Vullo
Good news. With the wet ground will the movie still be going on Wednesday?
Thank you,
Yes! Members' Movie Night is on; the film begins at dusk. It should be a beautiful night.
So, if you somehow made it through the summer without becoming a member, now is a great time to join!
Greetings from the west coast,
How are the Queen of the Nights holding up? I saw them in May when I visited NYC. The Garden is a wonderful place that I will be sure to return to on my next visit!
@ Jasmine: Cacti are doing fine, thanks!
Thanks for the update on the Cacti :)
I should have specified that I meant the Queen of the Night tulips :P
Did the Patrick Dougherty sculpture survive the hurricane? If so, how much longer will it be up? I'll be visiting NYC later this weekend. Thanks!

How the Mainstream Media Headlines the Abu Ali Indictment
by Daniel Pipes
The American government yesterday indicted Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, a raging Islamist, with plotting to kill the president of the United States. Details have emerged about his attending the Islamic Saudi Academy and the University of Medina. His fervent hatred of the United States apparently led to his joining up with Al-Qaeda. He had connections to Ismail Royer and the paintball jihadists. His mother wears a niqab. Islamist organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) jumped on his cause.
Given all this, how might mainstream media headline the story of Abu Ali's indictment? Here are three examples:
And then there is this gem:
Feature pieces on Abu Ali are no less striking. Here is my favorite headline
Comment: Yet again, over-sensitivity to Muslim sentiments obstructs the plain telling of facts – as though Abu Ali's citizenship or class rank were the key factor in motivating him. A useful headline would read something like "Islamist Charged in Plot to Assassinate Bush." (February 23, 2005)
Feb. 25, 2005 update: UPI's legal affairs correspondent, Michael Kirkland, dismisses what he calls Abu Ali's "alleged 'plot'" as but "a sweaty fantasy under the Saudi Arabian sun."
Feb. 27, 2005 update: "Case Adds to Outrage for Muslims in Northern Virginia" reads a New York Times headline today. Not a word yet from the Times, however, about the outrage of Americans about a Saudi-government school in Virginia possibly training an Islamist terrorist.

GREIG Pack up the squeak toys and doggy dishes, leashes and snacks. Aldersgate Camp and Retreat Center will offer its inaugural AdironDog Retreat on a fall weekend.
Its a weekend retreat for adults or families with dogs who appreciate the relationship they have with their dog, said Lucas Wachob, center co-director with his wife, Rebekah.
Held over three days and two nights at the center, 7955 Brantingham Road, the retreats activities will include swimming, grooming, homemade dog biscuits and dog-edible smores made around a campfire. And since this is a Christian camp, any pet is invited for a blessing.
The Wachobs were inspired in part by their dog, Chip, a 1-year-old boxer-lab mix. Hes very excited for the event, Mrs. Wachob joked. Hes the one who told us to do it. We got the idea from a camp in the Berkshires Camp Unleashed.
The center is used in the summer as a Christian camp for children ages 6 to 18. In the off season, the facility offers retreats for children, adults, businesses and groups.
Families and adults can bring their furry friends from Sept. 5 to 7. The cost to attend varies based on lodging options. But all fees include lodging, meals and activities, except for grooming.
To stay in a shared cabin is $185 per adult, $85 per child age 4 to 12 and free to children under 4. Private cabin lodging is $200 per adult, $100 per child 4 to 12, and free for children under 4. Families are encouraged to consider a dogs sociability before selecting lodging.
Its a great experience to celebrate the full expression of your pets personality, and the sacred nature of a humans bond with a dog, Mrs. Wachob said.
Guests will receive a doggy bag with treats, as well as waste bags for cleanup. There are disposal baskets on site.
A dogs sociability will be identified by a ribbon color. Sociable dogs will receive a yellow ribbon while shy dogs will receive a red ribbon.
The 80-acre facility can accommodate about 300 people and 150 dogs. There are several walking trails as well as access to three lakes from the grounds. All dogs must be up to date on their rabies and kennel cough vaccines. Proof will be required following registration.
Should the retreat be successful, the Wachobs said they will consider offering the retreat yearly. Retreats for other pets may be in the cards later. But right now the focus is on developing the dog retreat.
Were very excited and looking forward to seeing how it goes, Mrs. Wachob said. We want everybody to have a good time.

Middle East peace talks are going really well. It appears as if the Israelis and Palestinians are getting close to resolving their differences.
The statement made above couldn't be any more sarcastic; or any more true. These people will be fighting until the end of time. TGO
Refer to brief story below. Source: Associated Press
RAFAH, Gaza – Palestinian hospital officials say 15 people were wounded in overnight Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
The airstrikes came after the Israeli military reported that Palestinian militants on Tuesday had blown up a donkey cart filled with dynamite near the concrete wall that separates Gaza from Israel and fired several mortar rounds into Israel. No Israelis were injured.
Officials at the hospital in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza say 15 people, mostly civilians, were injured when Israeli warplanes targeted a Hamas training camp in the area.
Palestinian sources say Israeli F-16's carried out another airstrike against the inoperative Yasser Arafat International Airport in Rafah. No injuries were reported in this attack.

Gastrointestinal Bleeding Loren Laine ++ Bleeding from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may present in five ways. Hematemesis is vomitus of red blood or "coffee-grounds" material. Melena is black, tarry, foul-smelling stool. Hematochezia is the passage of bright red or maroon blood from the rectum. Occult GI bleeding (GIB) may be identified in the absence of overt bleeding by a fecal occult blood test or the presence of iron deficiency. Finally, patients may present only with symptoms of blood loss or anemia such as lightheadedness, syncope, angina, or dyspnea. ++ Sources of Gastrointestinal Bleeding ++ Upper Gastrointestinal Sources of Bleeding ++ (Table 41-1) The annual incidence of hospital admissions for upper GIB (UGIB) in the United States and Europe is ∼0.1%, with a mortality rate of ∼5–10%. Patients rarely die from exsanguination; rather, they die due to decompensation from other underlying illnesses. The mortality rate for patients <60 years in the absence of major concurrent illness is <1%. Independent predictors of rebleeding and death in patients hospitalized with UGIB include increasing age, comorbidities, and hemodynamic compromise (tachycardia or hypotension). ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 41-1 Sources of Bleeding in Patients Hospitalized for Upper GI Bleeding View Large | Favorite TableTable 41-1 Sources of Bleeding in Patients Hospitalized for Upper GI BleedingSources of BleedingProportion of Patients, %Ulcers31–67Varices6–39Mallory-Weiss tears2–8Gastroduodenal erosions2–18Erosive esophagitis1–13Neoplasm2–8Vascular ectasias0–6No source identified5–14Source: Data on hospitalizations from year 2000 onward from Am J Gastroenterol 98:1494, 2003; Gastrointest Endosc 57:AB147, 2003; 60;875, 2004; Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 16:177, 2004; 17:641, 2005; J Clin Gastroenterol 42:128, 2008; World J Gastroenterol 14:5046, 2008; Dig Dis Sci 54:333, 2009. ++ Peptic ulcers are the most common cause of UGIB, accounting for up to ∼50% of cases; an increasing proportion is due to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori decreasing. Mallory-Weiss tears account for ∼5–10% of cases. The proportion of patients bleeding from varices varies widely from ∼5 to 40%, depending on the population. Hemorrhagic or erosive gastropathy (e.g., due to NSAIDs or alcohol) and erosive esophagitis often cause mild UGIB, but major bleeding is rare. ++ Peptic Ulcers ++ In addition to clinical features, characteristics of an ulcer at endoscopy provide important prognostic information. One-third of patients with active bleeding or a nonbleeding visible vessel have further bleeding that requires urgent surgery if they are treated conservatively. These patients clearly benefit from endoscopic therapy with bipolar electrocoagulation; heater probe; injection therapy (e.g., absolute alcohol, 1:10,000 epinephrine); and/or clips with reductions in bleeding, hospital stay, mortality rate, and costs. In contrast, patients with clean-based ulcers have rates of recurrent bleeding approaching zero. If there is no other reason for hospitalization, such patients may be discharged on the first hospital day, following stabilization.

The Mindfullest Chair on Planet Earth.
Props to The Kitchen for buying real Emeco chairs–these things are expensive, they last forever, and are made of recycled content (Coke bottles in this case, I prefer the aluminum which I use at my home and our HQ, "Hotelephant"–the pure metal ones last 150 years and are warrantied for life and can be dropped off a two story building without a dent and were built for the military). All Emecos are Made in USA by a family business in Pennsylvania.
In 2006, Coca-Cola approached Emeco to solve an environmental problem — taking recycled Coca-Cola bottles out of landfill and "upcycling" them into an iconic structural item, made to last. Emeco committed to the challenge with the new material, taking soft recycled PET plastic, originally intended for short-lived fabric and textiles, and build a tough, one-piece, scratch-resistant chair for heavy-duty use. "Although reengineering a core product was a significant investment for us, I was excited about the impact of using the rPET from millions of bottles each year. We've turned something many people throw away into something you want and keep for long, long time," said Buchbinder. The 111 Navy Chair is not just a solution to a problem, but an encouragement to the encouragement of developing environmentally sound structural materials.

Experimental: Diabetes Genetic Counseling
Subjects will have been genotyped and will received genetic counseling based on their results
Behavioral: Diabetes Genetic Counseling
Subjects will be genotyped based on a 37-allele aggregate score and counseled regarding the implications of the results prior to enrollment in a 12-week diabetes prevention program

Detailed Description:
This study will examine the impact diabetes genetic counseling on patient motivation and disease prevention behaviors among subjects with pre-diabetes. We will randomize subjects with pre-diabetes to genetic testing vs. no genetic testing in order to obtain an unconfounded test of the hypothesis that genetic testing will change patient behavior. Intervention subjects will be provided with their individual diabetes genotype risk score derived from aggregating the combined results of 37 diabetes risk-associated genetic loci. Because patients can receive either "Higher risk" or "Lower risk" genetic test results, we will separately examine the impact of "Higher risk" and "Lower risk" test results compared to untested controls. All subjects will be enrolled in a 12-week diabetes prevention program.

A student's path a college can be a winding, twisting one. Decoding just what makes the biggest impact for success is part of what keeps us all digging into the data each day.
I shared a quote at one of our member meetings recently that really resonated with me, from Brene Brown (who I am very excited to see in person at ACPA next week!). She gave a TEDTalk that included the quote: "Maybe stories are just data with a soul."
So while I'm not giving up on graphs or stats anytime soon, I'm very excited to announce that we are engaging in an exciting initiative to collect those soulful stories about just what makes for a successful student. Our Roadmap to Your Success Video Contest asks students to make a two minute video about the tools and resources their colleges provide to help make them successful students.
To enter, we are inviting students to submit a two-minute video via YouTube or Vimeo addressing the following questions:
- Explain how your college or university helps you in your quest to achieve your degree. What tools and resources does your campus provide to help you on this quest? Examples could include career services, academic advisement, student groups, online tools, etc. Please be as specific as possible.
- How does having these tools/resources on campuses, help you manage academic and personal commitments to successfully reach your goal of graduating? Also tell us how you have used these tools/resources?
- If you could offer one recommendation to a new college student about using the tools/resources your college/university provide, what would it be?
Three winning videos will be chosen and featured on our website, with each featured video winner receiving a cash prize and the grand prize winner receiving $1,500. A $1,500 grant will be awarded to the Member Campus from which the grand prize student is selected from. Winners will be chosen by a panel including some of our Client Advisory Board members using a rubric (obviously, since we are all assessment geeks here!).
As a Member Campus, we would like your assistance in promoting the contest to your students. You can download flyers or even create events on your CollegiateLink sites to promote this scholarship opportunity.
Entries are due April 29. We hope you encourage students on your campus to participate and look forward to viewing the videos they submit. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.

New Mexico braces for more post-fire flooding
PECOS, N.M. (AP) — Forecasters are calling for more thunderstorms to settle in over the burned mountainsides of New Mexico, prompting some communities to brace for flash flooding.
The chance of storms dumping more moisture on the areas left bare by a series of recent wildfires is better than 60 percent. This risk is highest on Monday, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
The threat is spread across hundreds of square miles that have been blackened by fire over the past three years. New Mexico had record wildfire seasons in 2011 and Login to read more

Teemu Selanne set the all-time Olympic scoring record Friday night in Vancouver by assisting on Kimmo Timonen's second goal of the game as Finland jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Germany.
Selanne drew the secondary assist on Timonen's goal with 3:57 remaining in the second period. It was his 37th point in Olympic competition (20 goals, 17 assists), spanning five separate Winter Games beginning in 1992.
"I'm not a big numbers guy, especially when I'm still playing, but maybe one day I'll look back," Selanne said in a TV interview after the game. "I've obviously played a long time and played with great players who helped make this possible. It's a nice honor."
Selanne had been tied with Valeri Kharlamov of Russia, Vlastimil Bubnik of the former Czechoslovakia and Harry Watson of Canada.

Domenic J. F. Russo, Chairman
Auditor Suzanne M. Bump | Alan Macdonald | James M. Machado | Donald R. Marquis | Robert B. McCarthy | Gregory R. Mennis
Joseph E. Connarton, Executive Director
TO: All Retirement Boards
FROM: Joseph E. Connarton, Executive Director
RE: Mandatory Retirement Board Member Training-3rd Quarter 2013
DATE: July 5, 2013
As you know, Chapter 32 mandates that retirement board members complete training during each year of service on the retirement board. Failure to meet this mandatory requirement will prohibit the member from serving beyond the conclusion of the term for which the training requirement was not met.
It should be noted that in awarding the number of credits for individual courses the Commission does not necessarily base that number on the length of the program but also considers the nature of the topic involved.
Pre - Approval
The Commission is willing to approve educational credits for a variety of events sponsored by "…local, state, regional and national organizations recognized by the Commission as having expertise in retirement issues of importance to retirement board members or other entities…" This provision of the statute has been interpreted to encompass particular programs offered by such entities. For example, an ethics class or open meeting law class offered as part of a broader conference may be eligible for education credit. However, approval for such credit must take place well in advance of the date of the event. This will enable the Commission to analyze the program and to provide a general notice to retirement board members to maximize participation.
State Ethics Commission Seminars (Three Credits):
The Commission will grant three (3) credits to retirement board members who complete a Public Education Seminar on the Conflict of Interest Law conducted by the State Ethics Commission. As noted above, these sessions are sometimes held in conjunction with meetings of certain organizations. Credit will be granted upon receipt by the Commission of a copy of the Certificate of Attendance issued to the retirement board member by the State Ethics Commission.
The State Ethics Commission will be conducting educational seminars throughout 2013 at its offices in Boston at One Ashburton Place, Room 619:
(a) July 25, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
(b) August 22, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
(c) September 26, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
(d) October 24, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
(e) December 5, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Seating at these sessions is limited. Please contact 617-371-9500 to enroll.
Non-PERAC; Non-MACRS Events
PERAC will award credit for attendance at the following educational events sponsored by entities other than the Commission and MACRS:
July, August and September Educational Events
PERAC's Audit Syllabus; Due Diligence Tools (Three Credits)
PERAC Emerging Issues Forum (Three Credits)
PERAC will award three (3) educational credits to retirement board members who attend PERAC's Ninth Annual Emerging Issues Forum at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Individuals who wish to attend the Forum must register with PERAC in advance. Registration materials and a detailed agenda will be emailed to retirement board members and administrators and other interested parties in mid-July. Questions about the Forum should be directed to Tom O'Donnell, PERAC Compliance Officer at 617-666-4446, ext. 922 or Natacha Dunker PERAC Communications & Education Director at 617-666-4446 ext. 970
(Please e-mail Rose Cipriani at email@example.com to make reservations).
State Ethics Commission On-Line Conflict of Interest Law Training (Three Credits)
In order to access the program retirement board members should go to the Ethics Commission Web Page at www.mass.gov/ethics/ and then click on the link "Conflict of Interest On line Training Programs". Following transfer to that page scroll down and click the link to "Municipal Employee Online Training Program".
Office of the Inspector General – Bidding Basics (Three Credits)
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has developed an introductory on-line course that covers the legal requirements for the procurement of contracts by local government bodies for supplies and services under MGL c. 30B. Although that statute does not apply to "a contract for retirement board services" recently enacted law sets forth similar requirements for retirement boards to follow when seeking certain services. In addition, retirement board members, under their fiduciary duty to act as a prudent expert would act, should employ best practices in this area.
Bidding Basics takes two to three hours to complete. It has been designed to be completed through PACE, the Commonwealth's Web-based Learning Management System, or at your standalone computer using a Compact Disc (CD).
PACE should be accessible to any entity with an Internet connection. Upon registering with the Office of the Inspector General, you will be issued a PACE Login ID and Password so that you may access PACE for free. For further information about Bidding Basics, access http://www.mass.gov/ig/mcppo/seminars-and-courses/bidding-bascis.html. In the right-hand column of that page you may access a link to the Bidding Basics FAQs and a link to the Bidding Basics Online Registration Form, or you may obtain the form directly by selecting http://www.mass.gov/ig/publications/forms/bb-online-regform.doc
Office of the Attorney General – Open Meeting Law (Three Credits)
The Office of the Attorney General (AG) offers an on line web training seminar on the Open Meeting Law. That program is accessible at http://www.youtube.com/user/MassAttorneyGeneral. It can also be accessed through the AG's Web Page by clicking on "Government Resources" and then clicking on "Open Meeting Law" and on that page clicking on "Web Training".
Retirement board members can confirm participation by filing an affidavit with the Commission. To streamline the attendance verification process, PERAC has created the following Affidavit Form which can easily be completed and returned to PERAC by retirement board members. http://www.mass.gov/perac/training/Training_Affidavit.pdf
Other Webinars
In 2012, the Commission approved education credit for participating in a Webinar that, among other topics, addressed the issue of GASB Accounting for Pensions. In 2013, we will entertain requests for credit in relation to relevant Webinars, again, provided that such a request is made well in advance of the session.
Thank You
The Commission would be remiss if we did not also thank all members of the retirement boards who, in spite of other pressing duties, are making a good faith effort to fulfill the mandatory training requirement each year.

ATS Design's E2 Series Running boards combine the clean look of a step bar construction with the utility of a running board's flat top area to create a high level of stepping safety and convenience other step bars can't match. The oval step bar is constructed of high-grade aluminum and measures 5 inches across flat horizontal sections. ATS Design offers a choice of finishes in chrome, black powder coat, or silver anodized brushed metal look. Whichever finish you select, two stylish black step pads with raised square patterns sit atop the bar to provide a huge level of grip in snow, rain, mud, or ice. Rounded black end caps create a clean overall shape and an undeniably well-finished appearance that looks stylish on any vehicle whether it is covered with mud or in front of a 5-star restaurant. On most vehicle applications, no drilling is required for installation but a small amount of it may be required to install the mounting brackets (sold separately) on some makes and models. ATS offers a 3-year warranty against defects.
ATS Design is highly focused on the quality of its products and the satisfaction of its customers. When it comes to metal, ATS Design uses only the highest grade of T-6 aluminum favored by aircraft manufacturers. Before running boards are crafted into shape, engineers relentlessly check all tooling and dies that are used to make sure they have no flaws and are in top condition. Additionally, the quality of all raw materials is checked for consistency. Once the running board is crafted into shape, all areas are checked for dimensional accuracy, proper contour, and good surface quality before any final finish is applied. Then, the thickness of the finish is checked for evenness and color accuracy. It is only after passing these stringent tests that your running board is boxed and shipped to you.253.40 272.48
Brand: ATS Part Numbers:
Founded in 1971 and based out of Cerritos, California, ATS Design got its start in the automotive accessory business with a line of rear spoiler wings that replicated OEM equipment on vehicles of the day. Soon, they branched into their own designs which were designed for fitment on any vehicle. ATS's in-house engineering and production facilities allowed quick development of new products and fast shipping times, and their focus on customer service and quality control soon led to many repeat customers that were happy to provide good word-of-mouth. Over the years, the company expanded their facilities to include production of running boards, fender flares, and valance panels. Even though the company has grown to over 200 employees and occupies a 50,000 square foot facility today, their motto still remains "Your order is completed on time, every time, defect free".Product Reviews (2)

Is Anything Stopping a Truly Massive Build-Out of Desert Solar Power?
The vast and glittering Ivanpah solar facility in California will soon start sending electrons to the grid, likely by the end of the summer. When all three of its units are operating by the end of the year, its 392-megawatt output will make it the largest concentrating solar power plant in the world, providing enough energy to power 140,000 homes. And it is pretty much smack in the middle of nowhere.

When thee worldly Onegin ruthlessly dismisses Tatiana's adolescent love and dishonours her sister Olga's fiance, he not only seals Lensky's tragic fate but his own downfall too. With beautiful designs by Jurgen Rose - from the simple charm of a Russian country estate to the sophistication of a glittering , high society ball - and a specially created score drawn from Tchaikovsky's music, Onegin is an unforgettable evening of passion , beauty and wonderful choreography with The Royal Ballet.

My Buy List - Dec 10
By MonkeyToe 0 Comments
Week errr.... Month in Review
As you can see it has been a little over a month since my last blog post. Most of this has to do with the fact that in November we had a death in my wife's family and that needed immediate attention so that we could coordinate our schedules to get her to the funeral. Since that tragic event, I have been seriously behind in my comic book reading. On top of that, however, was the Thanksgiving holiday which kept me out of town for a week, the release of the new Dresden Files book "Cold Days" that I just needed to read, and a couple of birthdays meant that I just finally got caught up on all my reading (most of it at least, I still haven't read the last Dr. Who / Star Trek Crossover Comic). Needless to say my brain is a muddled, useless heap from so much reading in such a short span of time. I can say for certain that I have been enjoying reading the Marvel Now Deadpool and New X-Men comics. Of course Batman, Swamp Thing, and Animal Man are still consistently at the top of my list of favorites. I'm a little sad to say, though, that while I am enjoying the Death of the Family arc in the Batman title, most of the tie-ins haven't been enjoying for me to read. Catwoman's story seems random and the images portrayed seem halfway like a drug induced hallucination. Red Hood's tie in seemed a little forced and should have been one of the better scenes in the tie-in. Batgirl's title has been the best of the bunch to me, being the most personal and demented attack I feel against any of the Bat Family members. Suicide Squad's wasn't as bad as some. But here's hoping the quality gets picked up a bit this month. Likewise, I feel the whole Third Army event has fallen a bit flat. I'm not really invested in this story so far and it doesn't seem like a very major threat, yet. I will just be posting my list today and not my thoughts on each issue. I hope to get back into that groove next week!

Quentin Tarantino's WW2 opus Inglourious Basterds dropped at Cannes last night, and was met with mixed reviews. Lots of folks loved it, but we heard it through the grapevine (the grapevine being our friends at Pajiba), that some snooty type from The Guardian called it "Cannes' Turkey." And while they haven't commented yet, we're sure the Nazi Film Critics Society pooped all over it. They hate everything but Mel Gibson movies.

Scott Horton Interviews Ray McGovern
Ray McGovern, former senior analyst at the CIA, discusses the hype surrounding a seemingly benign Russian spy ring in the US, the sorely needed FBI public relations boost from their apparent counter-espionage success, CIA director Leon Panetta's disincentive for changing the 2007 Iran National Intelligence Estimate and why Iran really was pursuing a nuclear weapons program prior to 2003.
MP3 here. (25:08)
Ray McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years, from the John F. Kennedy administration to that of George H. W. Bush. His articles appear on Consortium News and Antiwar.com.
19 Responses to "Ray McGovern"
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Ron Paul News, AngelaKeaton. AngelaKeaton said: Antiwar Radio Ray McGovern: Ray McGovern, former senior analyst at the CIA, discusses the hype surrounding… http://tinyurl.com/36cokcv [...]
Doesn't explain the timing. The threshold theory–"Gee, Batman, we have eleven, we have to do something NOW!"–also is not persuasive.
Going with an explanation because you are hard-pressed to come up with any other is not good methodology.
More important, how does limping PR, which this is, benefit the FBI?
Scott, I hope this helps.
McGovern has a peculiar accent.
Fordham, eh?
There is an Ur-accent explaining the many speech commonalities of Chicago and New York Irish.
But did they go "over to City Hall" in New York City–that is the question.
There are also reports that the Russian spy scandal is having a damping and delaying effect on getting enough votes for the nuclear arms treaty with Russia:
If this is so, and that is the real motive for inflated claims, media hysteria, and prosecutions just at this pass, there is indeed some parallel with one version of the U-2 incident.
My take was they needed budget cuts. Sending those clowns back to Russia probably freed up 20 or so agents. I hope Chapman gets a presenter job at RT news.
Part 1 of 3
Ray McGovern is honest, respectable but he is a human…..humans make mistakes.
Recently on RT (or Aljazeera) about the two conflicting videos on Sharam Amiri the Iranian nuclear scientist he said both videos might be true. Later a video appeared on Iranian TV in it Amiri was saying the content of the well-made video are not true.
Here is a quick interpretation of what Amiri said in his second secret video:
In the name of God
Today is June 14, 2010. I am Shahram Amiri citizen of Islamic Republic of Iran. I .succeeded in escaping [fleeing] from the custody of US security agents in State of Virginia. Right now I am in a safe place….[indecipherable].. [expecting ?] to get captured [arrested] by US security agents.
In this brief moment I wanted to talk to my people about the two videos already broadcasted. The first video which was shown on Iranian TV is completely genuine [true] in which I addressed my people from Tucson and no false points are in it while
part 2
the second video which was prepared by American Government and was sent to YouTube is not truthful and my statements in it regarding being free and have come to US for further education are total lies. I being free here is a complete falsify I am not allowed to contact my family or other individuals.
In case I confront a complication or do not return to my country alive the direct responsibility lies on the side of the Government of the United States then none of my [claimed] written or verbal declarations are true and they are blatant lies.
I am asking the officials of the country or Human Rights establishments to accelerate [their activities] and pressures towards my freedom before something happens to me allowing me to return to my beloved country…Iran.
Finally I address my endearing family. If I did not return alive I want them to be [strong, resisting], irrepressible and patient. I want them to know until my last breath I never betrayed my country and none of US threats or promises of prizes compelled me for any treasonous act, I was honorably [proudly] killed in service to my country submitting to the will of God.
part 3 (last)
[God willing] wishing success for all……thanks.
Amiri second video (in Farsi) can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSr8ck7Pqj4
I am bewildered, who is helping Amiri to escape or make and send these videos to Iran?
The CIA funds all the opposition in Russia through NED, "human rights" groups, alternative media, youth activist organisations. Gay rights, free abortion, etc as well as organised crime and Chechen lead terrorism to the tune of millions of dollars annually so the so called "spy ring " in the US is not even a fraction of what the US, Britain, EU and Soros are doing in Russia.
Spy scandal actually might have to do with the fact Russia has requested info of crime bosses operating in the US directing Afghan heroin operations into Russia.
Might have more to do with shutting down Russian intelligence in the US gathering info on people directing Afghan drug operations into Russia residing inside the US.
> "Russia wants info on dealers of Afghan drugs from U.S."
very interesting article, thanks. I have always just assumed that the invaders (US/Coalition) would be smuggling out heroin, just like they have done in the past. Great way to get some secret funding (black budget).
This alleged Russian spy ring sounds like something out of Gilbert & Sullivan!
Anyway, if the FBI has such a hard-on over spies, it ought to go after Israel and its massive, ongoing espionage against America. Israeli spies and moles are scattered throughout the U.S. Government. FBI, you've got your marching orders.
McGovern's concerns about Leon Panetta are justified. Panetta, after all, is a career political hack. He's just the kind who'd cave in to Israeli pressure to sign off on a lying NIE.
Sounds Pennsylvanish to me…

Leechburg's Morandini continues rise through Phillies coaching ranks
Pirates/MLB Videos
Mickey Morandini continues to climb the Philadelphia Phillies' organizational ladder.
The Leechburg native has been named to the coaching staff of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate in the International League.
Morandini had been manager of the Lakewood (N.J.) Single-A team the past two seasons.
The move had been rumored for several weeks, but the Phillies made it official earlier this month with a system-wide announcement of coaching staffs.
"I'm not completely sure what I'll be doing," Morandini said. "I could be coaching third base and working with baserunning and offering input in game situations."
One thing is certain: Morandini, 47, is one step away from coaching in the major leagues. He will report to the Phillies training camp in Clearwater, Fla., on Feb. 9.
Coaching in Triple-A is different than the lower levels of professional baseball. It includes working with players who have had a taste of the major leagues.
"At the younger levels, you have to have a lot of patience and there's lots of repetition," Morandini said. "But here, you have players challenging to get back to the majors and you have to get those players better in certain areas."
Morandini got the coaching bug almost 10 years ago when he took over the Valparaiso High School team in western Indiana.
He was reluctant to get into pro coaching, what with raising three boys.
But in 2010, the Phillies invited Morandini to Clearwater as a guest instructor during spring training for a couple of weeks, much like the Pirates have done with Mike LaValliere and Bill Mazeroski.
Morandini loved the assignment — however brief — and took the manager's job the following year at Williamsport, the Phillies' Single-A short-season affiliate.
At Allentown, he will be working with Iron Pigs manager Dave Brundage, pitching coach Ray Burris and hitting coach Sal Rende.
Triple-A baseball has become a big hit in Allentown, Pennsylvania's third-largest city.
The city and its surrounding area, known as the Lehigh Valley, supported the Iron Pigs well at Coca-Cola Park. The team is the only minor league team to draw more than 600,000 fans in each of the past three seasons.
"It's a good atmosphere there, the fans have really come out," Morandini said.
The former Leechburg High School baseball and basketball standout recently moved his family from Chesterton, Ind., to Glen Mills, outside of Philadelphia.
He and his wife, Peg, have three sons: one in college, another in high school and another in middle school.
"The move was hardest for the kids, but they're adjusting very well," Morandini said.
After graduating from Leechburg, Morandini earned a scholarship to the University of Indiana and played on the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team in 1988 in Seoul, South Korea.
He was drafted by the Phillies in 1988 and made the major league squad in 1990, starting an 11-year major league career.
Morandini is probably best known for pulling off an unassisted triple play while playing second base for the Phillies on Sept. 20, 1992, at Three Rivers Stadium. The Pirates had Andy Van Slyke at second base and Barry Bonds at first. With both runners breaking, Jeff King hit at liner to Morandini's right. He caught the ball, stepped on second to retire Van Slyke and tagged out a sliding Bonds at second.
