TELLURIDE – The Hallmark Channel's new original primetime series When Calls the Heart will be filmed in Ilium Valley, near Telluride, Gov. John Hickenlooper announced at the state capitol Tuesday, June 18.
The show, based on Janette Oke's bestselling Canadian West book series of the same name and described as a sort of Little House on the Prairie set in a 1910-era coal mining town, will be produced by Brian Bird and Michael Landon, Jr., of the Christian film production company Believe Pictures and Motion Picture Corporation of America and Brad Krevoy through their joint venture, Frontier Productions.
Flanked by Krevoy, Hallmark Channel President and CEO Bill Abbot, Colorado Film Commissioner Donald Zuckerman, actors Daniel Lissing and Erin Krakow (two stars in the show) and other dignitaries, Hickenlooper touted the positive economic impact the TV show will bring to the state, as well as the tremendous national and international exposure it will bring to Telluride and all of Colorado.
The state's newly boosted film incentives have made Colorado a more appealing location for film and television producers, Hickenlooper said.
Telluride Town Manager Greg Clifton attended the press conference with Telluride Tourism Board CEO Michael Martelon. "It was a very good vibe," Clifton said. "All eyes are on Telluride with this project right now. Everybody's had a hand in it – the local government, the state film commission, the governor and state legislature."
Among those cited by the governor their roles in bringing the show to Telluride were all three San Miguel County Commissioners, Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser, Martelon and Telluride Film Commission co-founder and location scout Tim Territo.
Martelon had the honor of introducing the Governor prior to his remarks. "The energy was pretty amazing," he said.
The decision to locate the show in Telluride was finalized two weeks ago, and Twitter was already buzzing with the news several days before Hickenlooper's official announcement, with Tweets like this one from Lissing Sunday: "Start shooting a brand new series with @ErinKrakowthis July in Colorado! Couldn't be happier." And this from art department coordinator Sarah Stimpson: "Getting ready to take off for my newest adventure. Shooting a TV series in Telluride, CO for the summer. #Whencallstheheart #telluride."
Production on the show gets underway in Telluride in late July, although construction design and core art department personnel are already on their way here and will hit the ground running. Writers will arrive next week, and will set up shop at The Peaks in Mountain Village, which has offered generous local incentives to the show's producers and will function as production headquarters.
Telluride locals "won't notice a lot right a way," Bird said. "There will be a fairly small crew at first, and we will want to hire as many locals as we can." The state's film incentives require producers to keep as many jobs as possible in Colorado.
By late July, the "talent" will arrive, and Bird anticipated, "There will be plenty of folks hanging out at the Steaming Bean, chatting up the local citizens."
It will be the first time a TV series has ever been shot in Telluride, and the first narrative TV series shot in Colorado since 1991, when the "Father Dowling Mysteries" series was filmed here.
The exact location where the set will be built has not yet been officially disclosed, as it is still under negotiation. The matter was discussed at a San Miguel County Commissioner meeting on Wednesday.
About a month ago, the show's producers were eyeing a Superfund mining reclamation site owned by the Idarado Mining Company and controlled by San Miguel County as a potential site on which to build a 1900s-era film-set recreation of the Town of Telluride for their show.
That idea was scrapped, however, when Idarado stipulated that the production company must obtain consent waivers from 37 homeowners in the Idarado Legacy subdivision.
Due to the show's very tight production schedule, it simply wasn't practical to pursue this route even though the setting there was spectacularly dramatic and Idarado had "bent over backwards" to make it work, said Bird.
Bird and his fellow producers started looking for other options, including taking the show to Canada, where a pilot episode had already been filmed.
"There was tremendous danger Colorado might lose the deal," Zuckerman said. "They were talking to people in Alberta and Vancouver and could have gone to either of them and gotten terrific incentives to go there."
A key group of local and state players got to work trying to convince the show's producers that Telluride was still the best place to film the series. Colorado's own new film incentives, enacted by legislation in 2012, certainly sweetened the deal, as did the state's talented workforce and extraordinary scenery, said Zuckerman.
The Colorado Office of Film and Television negotiated the deal.
Telluride's economy stands to accrue substantial revenue from the production. Frontier Productions has estimated it will spend at least $8 million in Telluride this summer and fall alone filming six to 13 episodes, with locals hired to do much of the set construction and even some of the acting. If the series catches on and survives past its first season, the impact will be much greater.
"We estimate that the show will provide upwards of a thousand jobs to Colorado and spend as much as $75 million in the local economy in the next five years," Bird said.
"I think there will be a lot of opportunities and a lot of jobs in Telluride," Clifton added. "That may be the single biggest benefit. Exposure is great but a real notable here is the boost it will bring to Telluride's economy."
The Hallmark Channel plans to debut "When Calls the Heart" as an Original Primetime Series in January 2014, while a special extended pilot (already filmed in Canada) premiering Oct. 5. Erin Krakow ("Army Wives" "Castle") and Daniel Lissing ("Last Resort") star in the series. Three-time Emmy winner Jean Smart ("Designing Women" "Samantha Who?") and Lori Loughlin ("Full House" "90210"), who starred in the pilot, may reprise their roles when the series goes into production.
According to promotional materials released by Hallmark, "When Calls the Heart" is the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom post in a small coal mining town in the Western Frontier led by two strong widows, Abigail Stanton (Loughlin) and Frances Tunnecliffe (Smart). Elizabeth must deal with her restless students as well as the new Constable in town, Jack Thornton (Lissing). Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural West.
According to Zuckerman, the program is licensed to air in 42 countries, and could run "for years."

Hallmark Channel Original Series Starts Production July 22 Near Telluride
DENVER - When Hallmark Channel's second original primetime series When Calls the Heart begins filming this summer, it will mark the first time a TV series has been shot in Telluride. "We are delighted with Hallmark Channel's choice of Colorado for its latest series," said Gov. John Hickenlooper. "With Hallmark Channel's brand behind it, the show will have a positive economic impact for our state and provide tremendous national exposure for Telluride and all of Colorado."
Hallmark Channel's When Calls the Heart will start filming in Telluride on July 22. According to Bill Abbott, President and CEO, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel, "Hallmark Channel is coming to the gorgeous state of Colorado.
"The state provides the perfect backdrop for our Western inspired series, When Calls the Heart, and we are incredibly proud to infuse the state's economy with new jobs and resources as a result of filming our family targeted program here," he said.
The Colorado Office of Film and Television negotiated the deal with the Motion Picture Corporation of America and Believe Pictures, with executive producers of the Hallmark Channel Original Primetime Series. According to Brad Krevoy, CEO of MPCA, "We are excited to immerse When Calls the Heart against the rich backdrop of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, providing unrivaled production value to a story that takes place in the North American west one-hundred years ago. Governor Hickenlooper, Donald Zuckerman, John Cullen, Mayor [Stu] Fraser and Tim Territo have changed our expectations of shooting in Colorado, which will allow us to bring substantial economic vitality to the state in the first season alone."
Gov. Hickenlooper, Colorado Film Commissioner Donald Zuckerman, Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser, Colorado Tourism Office Director Al White and Telluride Film Commission Co-Founder Territo played key roles in bringing the Hallmark Channel Original Primetime Series to Telluride, whose economy stands to accrue substantial revenue from the production.
Three-time Emmy winner Jean Smart star in the Hallmark Channel Original Primetime Series, with the special extended pilot premieres scheduled for October 5 at 9p.m. ET/PT, 8C. Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing star in the Original Primetime Series set to premiere January 2014, with the chance to reprise their roles when the series returns in January.
Based on Janette Oke's bestselling Canadian West book series, When Calls the Heart tells the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom post in a small prairie town on the western frontier led by coalminer widows Abigail Stanton (Loughlin) and Frances Tunnecliffe (Smart). Elizabeth must deal with her restless students, as well as the new constable in town, Jack Thornton (Lissing). When Calls the Heart is a Believe Pictures and Brad Krevoy Television production; Krevoy, Brian Bird, Michael Landon, Jr., Roman Viaris, Francisco Gonzalez, and Jimmy Townsend are executive producers. Eric Jarboe is co-executive producer.

What It Is
Jam out to some monster tunes with the Monsters University Scary Hairy Headphones. These headphones are designed to look like the top of Sulley's head, complete with fur and horns. These headphones are kid-safe. The volume is reduced on them, so kids don't hurt their ears. The sound quality is very good.
Why It's Fun
Monsters University was such a hit, and this set of headphones is a fun accessory for your little monster. We really like the reduced-volume feature, and even with that feature, the quality of the sound was very good.
Who It's For
The Monsters University Scary Hairy Headphones are not age-graded, but we think they are appropriate for ages 6 and up. However, because they are adjustable, they could probably fit on a 3- or 4-year-old's head all the way up to some adults with smaller heads. However, they are going to be much more comfortable for younger kids. Adults may find the reduced volume frustrating.
What To Be Aware Of
eKids also makes headphones made to look like Mike from Monsters University. Those headphones are sold separately.

Bashaara Graves on Stanford and Christmas break
Tennessee's Isabelle Harrison spent Thursday's team practice either stretched out on a trainer's table or on the sideline, receiving treatment for a sprained right ankle.
Apparently this has been time well spent for the sophomore center.
Both Lady Vols head coach Holly Warlick and Jenny Moshak, the associate director of sports medicine, are hopeful that Harrison will return for a women's basketball game against No. 1 Stanford on Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena (TV: SportSouth, MyVLT, 4 p.m.). The 6-foot-3 Harrison suffered the injury last Sunday versus Texas and missed Tuesday's 76-53 loss at No. 3 Baylor.
"I think the chances of having her for Saturday are a lot better than for Baylor," Warlick said. "Baylor was a long shot. I'm very, very optimistic we will have her."
Harrison's presence would help since Stanford's front-court starters — Chiney Ogwumike, Joslyn Tinkle and Mikaela Ruef — all stand 6-3.
Jasmine Phillips, meanwhile, will not play Saturday. Warlick said that the sophomore guard's ongoing absence remains a coach's decision, but Warlick also conceded that Phillips isn't fully healthy. Moshak said that Phillips has had issues lately with her right hip flexor.
Phillips hasn't played since Nov. 25 against Alcorn State. She missed two games while getting her academics in order but completed her first-semester requirements.
Nell on Wheels: Former Auburn coach Nell Fortner, who coached the 2000 U.S. Olympic women's team, is bringing her Game-Day show — Nell on Wheels — to Knoxville. She will set up in Arena Dining on Saturday and the show will take place 2:30-3:15 p.m. before the Stanford-UT game. Former Lady Vols assistant coach Mickie DeMoss will be on hand.
Fortner said that she's using this season as a test pilot for the show — which depends on fan response.
"It lives on social media; it's not on TV," she said.

Shouldn't there be a slight white line between O'Hare and Norwood Park.
The grey of Logan Sq/West Loop/Wicker Park/Near Westside and the light brown of Belmont Heights/Garfield Park/Lawndale/Austin/Little Village are a little too close in color still I think. (maybe switching the grey with the rose color from the south)
I think that your bonuses are a little high here, most of the bonus regions have some sort of bottlenecks. The Purple region down by Gary In for instance (sorry I don't know the regions as well) can be held with 3 terts and has 8 terts. +7 seems too high for that IMO. I'm not as sure why its different than the gret tert in the Northeast (7 terts with 3 to hold). I was going to make a similar comment on O'Hare before realizing that the rail lines are in play (should have read your comments first).
whitestazn88 wrote:hey there, this looks really good already, although i do have some things to say.
-some of the rivers look a little pixely, so you could work on that.
-i didn't really take a look at the bonuses, but they seem even enough. i'll take a look again later and add another comment.
-the main concern i have, although it shouldn't really be that big of a concern is the number of territories. they are actually pretty good, but just wanted to interject as a heavy 1v1 player that starting w/ 18 is tough b/c you drop down to 5 men by taking 1 territory. this doesn't have to be changed, because everything else works out really well, but it was just a thought.
whitestazn88 wrote:yeah, the river on the bottom was the one i was referring to, its very pixely, but i'm sure that can be fixed relatively easily. as for the territs, you can keep it like it is, and there shouldn't be a problem, and you're right that its hard to make it balanced for every game type. now that i've looked at the bonuses some more, they seem to be a little skewed, for example, the bottom most region is worth +7, although there are only 8 territories and 3 borders, the +2 region next to it has 4 territories and 3 borders... i'd probably change them to +6 and +3 respectively, but then again, the whole bonus thing isn't my forte, so its ultimately up to you,

Summary of A Friendly Game of Murder Summary of A Friendly Game of Murder Reviews for A Friendly Game of Murder An Excerpt from A Friendly Game of Murder
Why should Dorothy Parker's friends be the only ones making "enviable names" in "science, art, and parlor games"? Dorothy can play with the best of them—as she sets out to prove at a New Year's Eve party at the Algonquin Hotel. Since the swanky soiree is happening in the penthouse suite of swashbuckling star Douglas Fairbanks, some derring-do is called for. How about a little game of "Murder"?
Each partygoer draws a card to be detective, murderer, or victim. But young Broadway starlet Bibi Bibelot trumps them all when her dead body is found in the bathtub. No one knows who the killer is, but one thing is for sure—they won't be making gin in that bathtub.
When more partiers are put in peril, it becomes clear the game is indeed on, and it's up to Dorothy, surprise guest Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the members of the Round Table to stay alive—and relatively sober—long enough to find the killer…

Losers in their last three games, the New Jersey Devils have yet-another-crucial game at the Rock. Tonight, it'll be against the Minnesota Wild, who have had great goaltending, the biggest of big-minute defensemen, and a guy named Zach.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Pavie, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is cropped low as the viticultural work is impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The brilliant second wine, the 2006 Les Forts de Latour, a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, possesses a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful bouquet of asphalt, cassis, cedar, truffles, and earth, and a full-bodied, dense, beautiful style that is similar to a 1996 Pauillac. It will..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Château Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits, delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very little wine is produced (about 400 cases) from this tiny 5-acre vineyard, but it is always among the most concentrated and richest of Bordeaux. The inky/purple-colored 2007 offers sweet cassis fruit notes interwoven with notions of graphite, chalk dust, and toast. Full-bodied with terrific..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Typical of Lynch-Bages in its sumptuous rich style, this is a resounding success for the team of Jean-Michel Cazes. With its sweet fruit, opulent but balanced wood and red and black fruit flavors, it is a wine that will develop relatively quickly but will certainly age.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It boasts an extraordinary perfume of graphite, blackberries, cassis, and sweet kirsch intermixed with notes of incense, spice box, licorice, and subtle wood. Stunningly rich with full body, zesty acidity, and high but velvety tannins, the final blend is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Good ruby-red. Redcurrant, plum, tobacco and flowers on the nose. Suave and light on its feet, with excellent integrated acidity framing and extending the flavors. Classy and classic wine, finishing with ripe, building tannins. This would be perfect with a cigar. Today Delmas and Masclet prefer..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Can the 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou be better than the brilliant 2000 and extraordinary 2003 and 2005? Purchasers will have to decide for themselves, but this compelling effort is one of the all-time great Ducru Beaucaillous.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It is worth noting that when the bottled 2006 Chateau Margaux, which appeared closed and less impressive than I had predicted from barrel, was retasted alongside the remarkable 2008, I elevated my score to 94+. It does not possess the size or power of the 2008 or 2005, but the 2006 exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bottled the week before I arrived, the 2009 Pavie appears to have barely budged since I tasted it two years ago. Many experts consider this phenomenal terroir to be nearly as great as that of Ausone. Made from a classic blend of 60-70% Merlot, 20-25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon,..

Sorry I missed that.
Difference between complex and simple carbs....not created the same
If I lived in the middle of Africa 1000 years ago I would have got not much omega3 yet they lived and thrived. Answer- flax if you gotta have massive quantities for some debates in academia.
I am sorry for jumping in the post....just giving ideas to people interested in Veganism....I don't want to debate people that are set on eating meat, heck I do. We can all talk about lack of lycopene in uncooked tomatoes and the bigB12 deficiency everyone is dying from...but I was offering it up as it related to BFL. Peace.
Flax isn't the right kind. It's ALA, which only converts to what you need at a rate of 2.7%. I'm just wondering how vegans get what they need.
If you lived in the middle of Africa 1000 years ago then you'd have a much shorter life span and poorer health.
Carbs are carbs. If the balance is off, it doesn't much matter by which one.

Oh okay, thanks for the help. :)
Nothing really pertinent to add, except I just played "VEGAN" in Scrabble and got lots of points. Kinda tickled me.
Want it. Plan it. Do it.
How ironic. I just got a lot on tofu. It was a triple word that formed a few words.
Hi Jessica - I am a l-O veg so forgive me if my suggestions aren't vegan, but I utilize boca burgers and boca crumbles to replace the ground meat in BFL recipes...for example, boca crumbles sauteed in a tsp of olive oil with a green pepper, tbs of taco seasoning, over ww pasta or brown rice...or boca crumbles with lf pasta sauce over grain choice...also soy chik nuggets with veggies (I consider the "breading" my carb)...good luck
Polly, would you please post your meal plans? I absolutely love BFL but would like to incorporate more China Study Principles.
Thanks! Keep at it!:)

text: In April we reported on an ongoing European Court of Justice case about patenting of embryonic stem cell based technologies. The case has been widely discussed both online and in the press, and over 500 individuals have signed an open letter on eurostemcell.org to express their concerns. The legal aspects of the case could be quite tricky to get a grip on, so today we have published a very clear summary of the legal issues written by patent lawyer Clara Sattler de Sousa e Brito.

TRENTON, Ga. — Some athletes are simply born with so much natural ability that their rise to the upper echelon of sports is, well, easy.
That wasn't the case with Ashley Houts.
When the subject of the Georgia Lady Bulldogs' star point guard is brought up, those who watched her in high school at Dade County will quickly say she's not only the best basketball player to come out of Trenton, she's also the best athlete. Period.
However, the men who coached her through four seasons, 2,569 points, 564 rebounds, 580 assists, 768 steals and more awards than any one trophy case could contain, recall a different person. Yes, Houts was talented, but that's not what made her one of the most memorable Chattanooga-area athletes of the past decade.
"Her competitiveness to be the best in whatever she was doing is what sets her apart," said Randy Watson, who moved up from assistant to head the Lady Wolverines when Houts was a senior. "What people on the outside didn't see was how hard she worked. As an example, during summers we worked out three days a week. She would be here at 5:30 a.m. to lift weights, come back and shoot all afternoon and go play AAU ball that evening."
The 5-foot-6 Houts already had a reputation as a remarkable ball-handler when she took the court as a freshman at Dade, but her game was still far from complete.
"She wasn't a great shooter when she got here," Watson recalled. "She didn't have to be because she could get to the lane any time she wanted. But she wanted to be the best, so by the time she left here she was a great shooter."
Though there were a myriad of Houts highlights to choose from, both Watson and predecessor Gene Durden immediately think of two that stand out. The first was at Armuchee when she was a sophomore. The Indians had just taken the lead when star Abby Hand hit a jump shot in the final minute.
"Armuchee was so loaded and we were fighting for the region championship," recalled Durden, now coach of highly ranked Buford. "I think there were 15 seconds to go and I was trying to get Ashley to the sideline to call time out when an Armuchee girl jumps out in front of her. She blows by her, then another girl steps in front and she goes past her and lays it in on the other side of the basket.
"You just don't find a sophomore who can do those types of things."
The other highlight has already reached legend status in Trenton. During her junior season, which ended in the state final, Dade played top-five-ranked Model in the region final in a classic shootout. It went back and forth, with Houts consistently beating double and triple teams. Down the stretch she hit three 3-pointers from 25 feet and finished with 45 of Dade's 53 points in a seven-point win.
"The thing I remember from that night," Watson said, "was that Ashley kept stepping back as the pressure mounted and kept hitting big shots. The Model kids just looked at their coach as if to say, 'What can we do?' That night there was nothing anybody could do."
Houts ended her prep career with back-to-back state Class AA Player of the Year awards, earned McDonald's All-American honors as a senior, was a two-time AAU All-American, was a rare four-time Times Free Press all-star (and two-time Player of the Year) and even was voted Dade County's homecoming queen.
As the current UGA junior continues to garner more widespread attention, she has stayed grounded. Watson recalled another story that shows just what Houts means to her close community.
"We had a special needs kid who wanted an autograph from her," Watson said. "We set it up at one of our feeder schools and Ashley came up and spent the entire day with the kid. She's just a special person and real example to the community. She's earned everything she has."

Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Begins Sending ADA Dental Billing Codes Directly to Medicaid and Medicare Programs
Contact Information:
Telephone: 312-440-2806
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com (Journalists) or Contact ADA (All Others)
CHICAGO, May 24, 2011 – As part of an updated licensing agreement between the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Dental Association (ADA), dental codes will no longer be available through the downloadable Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) file available on the CMS Web site. CMS will continue sending the complete HCPCS code set, including the dental procedure codes, directly to entities that qualify under CMS guidelines.
"As the copyright owner of the dental codes, the ADA updated its licensing agreement with CMS to ensure that only those entities who are involved in programs administered by the CMS have free access to the ADA's dental procedure codes," said Dr. Chris Smiley, chair of the ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs. "Although the ADA CDT codes are no longer available through the CMS Web site, the ADA dental procedure codes continue to be a part of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, which provides a standardized coding system for processing oral health service claims efficiently."
CMS, which is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the federal agency that administers the Medicare program and monitors the Medicaid programs offered by each state. CMS is licensed by the ADA to distribute dental codes for free to entities participating in programs administered by the CMS. The ADA charges a licensing fee to commercial entities, such as benefit plan administrators, that wish to use the dental procedure codes.

text: Rep. Gwen Moore touts Wisconsin Dems' 'tremendous ground game' 06/04/12 01:30 PMUpdated 09/06/13 07:02 AM facebook twitter like save share group discuss By Zachary Roth Rep. Gwen Moore says Wisconsin Democrats' "tremendous ground game" will help Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett pull off an upset Tuesday in the state's recall election for Gov. Scott Walker. "I do think that people have underestimated our ground game, and I think we've developed the critical mass of factors to lead us on to victory on Tuesday," Moore told msnbc's Thomas Roberts. "No. 1, Tom is surging with independents, such an important constituency for winning an election. Secondly, we have a number of switchers, of—you know in 2010, we had 60 percent of labor voting for Tom Barrett and 40 percent for Scott Walker. Now those numbers are 80-20, 80 percent for Barrett and 20 percent for Walker."Of course, it's not unusual for partisan on both sides to talk up their chances of success in the days before an election, the better to motivate their supporters. And most polls still show Walker with a slim but consistent lead over Barrett. Still, Moore said Democrats are seeking to spur turnout among party memberw who stayed home when Walker was elected in 2010. "We have a tremendous ground game that has targeted Racine, Beloit, Kenosha, southeastern Wisconsin, Milwaukee, 72 wards in Milwaukee, where there are numbers of Democrats who did not necessarily participate in 2010," she said. "And we believe that there aren't any pollsters that are able to predict which of those voters, who are likely voters among those people that we've been able to touch."

STATD'.ENT OF SErlATCR l:IKE HJ:.NSFIELD (D-HONT.)
Release Tuesday M~

foreien policy in the Suez crisis seems to be based on waiting for the
sands to settle. The sands will not set+~le of their own accord . He will
either act to secure a just settlement of the Suez problem or we will stand
by idly as the provocation in Suez leads to other provocations and ultimately
to the catastrophe of open conflict which will lay the Middle East in ruins,
tear apart what remains of l:festern unity, and open the channels for further
Soviet penetration into Africa and Europe.
The people of this country need to know what is involved in this crisis
in Suez and have not been told . "!e have seen the sudden and callous seizure
of the Suez Canal Company by Egypt in a gesture both petulant and arrogant .
'. 1e have seen the British and the French n.obilize forces on Cyprus and in the
Mediterranean to defend what to them are vital and immediate interests in the
Canal. Me have seen the Secretary of State, "lith the best of intentions , move
into the gathering war clouds on four occasions in attempts to stop the storm.
So far no shots have been fired on Suez. So far ships continue to move
throuph the Canal . Superficially, I suppose , that can be regarded as a major
achievement . ls it the case in actuality? If it is , why do the editorials of
virtually every newspaper in this country continue to display an uneasiness
over the Suez situation?
I think it is because they r eflect the concern of the American people .
They reflect an awareness that a genuine solution of the crisis has not been
achieved just because shots have not been fired. "!hat has been obtained in
the Suez situation is only a prevention of a clash as of this moment and "'e
have paid a terrible price for it . It has been paid for in something very

close to appease~ent of the arrogance which a~nctes from Cniro, an arroeance
which if it goes unchallenred will make itself felt elsewhere in the l·:iddle
East. It has been paid for by a further blow at the stability and unity of
the free nations of 1'estern Europe, nations in whose survival in freedom the
United States has invested more than 26 billion dollars in aid since the war,
plus heavy wartime losses in men and material. In short, what has been obtained
in the Suez crisis is a temporary respite at the pr1ce of putting off the
day of reckoning . ~fuat has not been obtained is a just and lasting solution
of that crisis , I hope that now it may not be too late.
Almost six months ago, in a speech in the Senate on April 16, I urged the
Administration to act at once to forestall a crisis in the Middle East . I
pointed out the need to bring together as many nations as possible pledged to
preserve peace in the Hiddl e East in these terms : 11We should begin now, in
cooperation with others, to plan the measures which may be necessary to prevent
a major outbreak of violence in the Middle Eest or to stop one if it
should occur, The Tripartite Declaration of 1950, in my opinion, is inadequate
to the needs of the present situation., Dangerous and difficult measures may
be required to keep the peace and the sacrifices entailed should be shared on
the widest possible scale , 11 I urged the Administration to call an immediate
conference on the petroleum supply problems which might result from a crisis
in the Hiddle East in these terms: 11 \·le should call at once a conference of the
~!estern European nations which depend on Middle Eastern petroleum and the oilproducing
nations of this hemisphere. If the peace is to be kept in that
area , measures may have to be taken which will shut off, at least temporarily,
\·!estern Europe's major source of petroleum, The immediate problem is to firrl
alternatives not only to the oil but to the income which the production ar~
processing of oil represents to certain Western European countries ."

t-icnths went by enu nothing was done while the ten9ion continued to mount .
Then when the crisis 111as upon us , action along these lines was at last taken,
belated end halting action . Had the Pdministretion acted firmly and clearly
six months ago, it is likely th~t we would not now be hunting for last-ditch
remedies . The pr esent crisis might never have arisen .
1Je have no choice now but to acknowledge the damage which has result ed from
delay and vaccination in dealing with the Middle Eastern situation . ~le have no
choice but to face the fact that we are confronted with a new situation, one
which contains greater risks , one which will cost more to cope with. t.Je had
better recognize , too , that if we do not e.ct now, it will become even more risky
and costly in the near future .
The principal fact in this ne"1 situation is that President Nasser is in
possession of the Suez Canal Company, on dubious legal grounds perhaps, but nevertheless
he is in possession . He will not be quickly dislodged except by military
force which, if used by the ~/estern powers, is likely to solidify the Arab world
under his leadershi p and win for him, however reluctantly, the support of the
peoples of Asia and Africa.
There is another fact in the situation , however, a fact which works for a
just solution of this problem . For a lonf t i me Suez has been a route of unhampered
international passage , In that sense , it is international . World opinion
will not acquiesce in the misuse of the c ~ nal by Nasser or anyone else to further
nationalist political ambitions, World opinion can be made to bear fruit in this
situation if it is effectively mobilized and led .
Secretary Dulles in the Suez negotiations has adopted the role of tho
11honest broker" between the vlest and Egypt on the one hand and en the other he
has been able to keep together a western united front of sorts . The result is

that while he has not won friends on either side, his analysis before the
Security Council of the United Nations, in drawing attention away from Ecypt•s
act of nationalization and pinpointJthe issue upon ways and means of guaran-teeing
free international access to the canalhas been reasonable, understanding,
and could, if followert throUF,h with good intent by both sides , produce successful
results ,
On the basis of these facts and possibilities , therefore , it seems to me
any hope of a peaceful solution to the Suez crisis must be sought alonE the fol-lowing
lines :
1 , Acceptance of the riEht of E€ypt to nationalize the canal,
with just conpensation of the present Sue Canal Company owners, provided
Egypt allows free and unha~pered rieht of passage to ships of !~~ nations in
time of peace or war in accord with the Convention of 1888,
2 , If an agreement is not reached in the U, N. , the User's
Associat:i on , so- called , which l-ir . Dulles has formed, must be strenrthened
into an orfanization of sufficient cooperation and resources to see to it
that it will be E.fypt rather the.n the rest of the "'orld that suffers from
a failure to keep the Canal open to all nations.
The User ' s Association should be ur~ed to consider nerotiations on the adop-tion
of the followine measures in case of the failure of the U. N.
1 . Establishment of a Suez sealift to mcve i•lid- F.astern petroleum
around the Cape of Good Hope , based on a cooperative use of the tanker
capacity of member-nations ; release out of mothballs of 35 United States
tankers ; and a crash building program on 70,000 to 100,000 ton tankers .
2 . The intensification of petroleum production in this country
and the Western Hemisphere generally ,
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 36, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 5 -
3. A crash program on the application of nuclear enerey
to power production.
4. The establishment of a ~l billion interest-free revolving
fund contributed by member- nations, in accordance with their capacity,
to alleviate nat1.ons hard hit by measures taken by the Users 1 Association
to preserve the international right of transit through the Suez
Canal .
The need for these measures, which are costly and difficult , has been occasioned
by the impasse which now faces the ~'estern nations in the conduct of
their foreign policies . I hope we have seen an end to the stalling and the
failure which has marked our efforts to date. If we have not, the next price
to be paid may well be a bloodbath in the Middle East made to order for the
cheap extension of totalitarian communist influence in that region.

In a Super Bowl-like atmosphere last weekend complete with fireworks, a pop music band, huge flames, and a glorious redemption of "God Save the Queen" by a popular Opera singer from Wales, Tom Brady and the Patriots routed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 in front of 84,000 people at sold-out Wembley Stadium. While the score would indicate a real dud of a game, there has been some positive reaction from those who attended the game and watched it on TV that may lead the NFL to hold even more regular season games in London – and possibly start a new English NFL franchise at some point. In fact, Patriots owner Robert Kraft said last week that he would like to see an NFL franchise in London sometime in the next decade. And after last week's game in London, he saw nothing that would change his position.
Right now, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and team owners are going to have to decide if the English popularity was enough to schedule more than one game in London next season. The NFL has not ruled out four games a year at some point but could possibly schedule two in the next couple of years.
"I think there's a decent chance [that it will be 2010]," Alistair Kirkwood, the managing director of NFL UK, told the London-based Times. "The key thing is to get the owners of the two prospective home teams to agree. I'd like to think we'll begin serious discussions in November and be able to make an announcement in December. It will either be in 2010 or 2011."
At first, I thought I had no problem with the NFL expanding America's passion to the U.K. but then, after mulling it over for a period of time I decided against it. Why is the NFL trying to expand its game to a questionable market when a handful of its teams (Oakland, Jacksonville, San Diego) can't sell-out their U.S. stadiums, causing TV blackouts locally? Shouldn't the NFL make it work at home before expanding to another market? Let's fill the stadiums we have now before the NFL goes on to conquer another market.
Now I wasn't able to make the trip to Wembley Stadium last weekend to see the game and fan reaction for my own eyes (my Watch travel account doesn't include international destinations, but I would be willing to bet that the English fans really don't like American football as much as they seemed to at the game. Hell, you put 80,000 fans in a stadium with rock bands, touching anthems, pretty boy Tom Brady, TV cameras, and fireworks, anyone would have a good time. It was put on like a Super Bowl. All hoopla – terrible game. Even my mother would have a good time at that blown-up sporting event.
I had an interesting international NFL experience back in 1999 when the Broncos played the Chargers in an exhibition match in the newly opened Olympic stadium in Sydney, Australia. My family made the trip to the Southern Hemisphere to watch the Broncos play while experiencing everything Australia had to offer. The stadium didn't sell out for the exhibition game but it was a beautiful day for some American gridiron action. What the few of us Americans in the crowd learned after the game started is that American football is slow. Very slow. Sporting fans across the globe are used to the constant action of soccer and rugby, where games rarely stop, even for injuries. They hated all the pauses.
"Is this another time out?!" One screamed while the Broncos simply huddled up in between plays. "Yes. Touchdown," another screamed with his fist in the air after a ref threw a flag. He had thought the Broncos scored. "Which one is the running back?" another said. "These kickers suck," said another man wearing an outdated Joe Namath jersey. It was a good thing that the drinking age was 18 that day. The cold beer made the confused and hostile local reaction to NFL football bearable. Australia wasn't (and isn't) ready for a fulltime NFL presence and I am not sure the U.K is either.
If the NFL wants to expand to the U.K., it needs to put on a realistic NFL game next year by sending two lack-luster teams to play in London. Let's see if the Brits will be able to handle a real bore of a game. How about sending the St. Louis Rams and the Oakland Raiders? (You would have to pay me to go to that game.) And hopefully the game will be held in some real snotty-like weather complete with frigid temperatures, bone-chilling rain and a sloppy field so no team can throw the ball for long exciting plays. As that game ends with a 6-3 St. Louis win, the NFL should then measure to see if the English fans are up for some realistic American football without all the gimmicks.
I don't think that game is going to sell like the Super Bowl-like appearance of the 2009 game. It's time the NFL gets realistic about its future in the U.K. There is no future for the NFL in the U.K. Maybe the NFL should first try to figure out how to get the pro bowl back to Hawaii. I will save that disappointing issue for another day.
