More balance but no blitz please
10 Sep 2012
RYAN VREDE writes that those calling for the immediate reversion to an expansive approach have short memories.
Heyneke Meyer and his Springboks have been lambasted for their perceived tactical conservatism. There may be personnel changes for the Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin, but Meyer won't veer from his belief in his approach. And neither should he.
Certainly there needs to be greater balance and sharper decision making on attack. In Mendoza and Perth there were occasions, particularly when presented with broken field opportunities, when they should have run instead of kicking for field position. Furthermore, the lack of imagination and precision they displayed when in the Pumas and Wallabies' red zone was deeply disturbing. These issues need to be addressed as a matter of urgency, but to call for a complete overhaul in strategy a week before playing the world champions is laughable.
This doesn't mean that I believe the Springboks don't have the players to play in this manner. However, in the same way their current strategy is taking time (too much some would suggest) to take hold and become the suffocating force Meyer envisions it will be, so too would a more expansive approach. What then will the criticism be when the Boks bomb? Or will those who spit vitriol be content that they will lose beautifully?
The prime example of this came at the start of Peter de Villiers' reign. De Villiers purposed to make the side a more entertaining one to watch through their brand of rugby. He had absolutely no appreciation for the tactical demands of Test rugby against the elite sides. The Springboks subsequently lost badly at home to New Zealand and Australia in Cape Town and Durban, before reverting to a more structured approach, one which later morphed into the same one that is being employed now. That approach won a series against the Lions and the Tri-Nations in 2009 and it featured some of the best attacking play since the Springboks' World Cup campaign of 2007. It took a while to settle into and its success rested heavily on excellent execution. The calibre of player at De Villiers' disposal was also central to the game plan's effectiveness.
The Springboks will gradually move towards the accurate execution of their game plan as the players' understanding of it grows and with the return of injured and unavailable players in the coming months. Fourie du Preez's return for the year-end tour will be a massive boon in this regard.
The Bulls' Super Rugby championship-winning sides of 2009 and 2010 showed the effectiveness of the strategy when it's execution is on point. Those sides were prolific try scorers, but they took time to reach that point. Patience has never been a virtue the Springbok supporter has had in abundance. And while no Springbok coach should be granted an easy ride (I've written extensively that Meyer has made fundamental selection and tactical errors that are inexcusable) there needs to be some perspective on Meyer's plight.
I understand what Meyer is trying to achieve through his game plan and selections. That doesn't mean I agree with it unconditionally. But I've been fortunate to have built a good working relationship with him over the last seven years. In that time I've come to appreciate his tactical and technical grasp of the game. His new-age approach to studying players and how to extract the best out of them has intrigued me. His thirst for new information that can give his sides the edge – including adapting elements of play, conditioning and recruiting from other codes – is fascinating.
I'm no apologist for the man, but I believe, based on the aforementioned, as well as the quality of players emerging in South Africa, that in time he will become a highly successful Springbok coach. Whether he is allowed that time remains to be seen. The pressure from the public will mount if results and performances continue to fall short of expectations. Meyer is resilient and he'll continue to believe the tide will turn. His bosses at Saru may not be so faithful.
For now he must resist the urge to change tact completely. Again, there is a desperate need for a move towards greater balance in their attacking play, but to abandon the foundational elements of the game plan completely makes no sense at this point. It will only serve to further weaken his side's challenge and will undoubtedly increase the margin of the All Blacks' victory this Saturday.

10 Sep 2012, 10:41 amcant believe we s hit scared of this current kiwi team
shows how much we have regressed
10 Sep 2012, 10:46 amThis game plan makes us competitive in every single game. The scorelines are always close.
Now imagine if we have a Goosen firing on all cylinders directing play from 10, have Ruan Pienaar settled in at 9, and maybe have a Bismark, a JP Pietersen and a Burger/Smith level player in the mix as well.
We'd be a pretty difficult side to beat.
10 Sep 2012, 10:47 amRyan, this 'should-to-shoulder' approach is exactly why we are in such a mess!!
Meyer has established relationships with players and it is now starting to hurt his reputation. We can no longer afford an approach that precludes form and ability over a bond.
Go and watch Moneyball… we need to balance a belief in players with their statistical ability to do the job. This is what Jake White and Mallett did so well.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good hand-shake and 'my word is my bond' type of mentality… but we need balance.
10 Sep 2012, 10:52 amas long as we forsake the breakdown specialists and have M Steyn at 10 we are still born…
10 Sep 2012, 11:23 am"His thirst for new information that can give his sides the edge – including adapting elements of play, conditioning and recruiting from other codes – is fascinating."
And yet we have Ricardo Laubscher as our backs coach and Van Graan as attack. but
Meyer has a 'thirst' for new information. -
10 Sep 2012, 11:27 am@bobbyboyshey-3: Moneyball was actually about putting together, or optimising, the best team available, using econometric measures and analysis, CONSTRAINED by LIMITED finances.
Meyer has no such constraints for his players… However I reckon the statistical analysis, or even that of SA's sports scientists and Sports Science in general are probably a good few years behind the cutting edge of Big Data analysis and performance modelling you might find in a few industries eg. Banking, CRM, Utilities.
The power of these techniques and applications to show what is actually cutting probably scares the living daylights out of these Sports Fundis… They lose that element of being gurus when the "Black Box" actually highlights some counter intuition that they can't explain, faster, more effeciently and with greater accuracy than they could hope to do with comparative primitive, but more "in control", gatekeeping techniques…
Comfortable in the Bronze Age, while the End of the Iron Age is already near…
10 Sep 2012, 11:38 am@grant10-4:
Okay after watching the test match and the Province/Cheetahs game we do need a fetcher to slow down the oppositions attack.
This will allow some breathing space for our defense to realign.
If Flo came on early in the 2nd half in place of Coetsee we would have had a better chance of winning.But this perception is based on hindsight.
10 Sep 2012, 11:44 am@Jeraldjay-7: flow is not quick enough, he needs to up his tempo….michael hooper was everywhere like the energiser bunny!
10 Sep 2012, 11:52 am@Transformation-8:
Flo's speed will be made up with his domkrag. He would have got their later but moered Hooper out the way.Transie who's that blond flanker that plays for Griquas.
He's like a super charged energiser bunny.
10 Sep 2012, 11:53 am@Transformation-8: At one point in the game I thought the commentator was doing his own little haka in the studio. "…to Hooper, uh Cooper…"
10 Sep 2012, 12:24 pm@Jeraldjay-9: Marnus Schoeman. Played for the Bulls, but decided he needs more gametime. Hopefully he will come back to Loftus like a Matfield. Most Bulls supporters who follow junior rugby were very disappointed when he decided to go to Kimberley. I think he was the top try scorer in one of the U21 seasons.
10 Sep 2012, 13:59 pmHeyneke has surrounded himself with amateur assistants…..Let me tell you know, he will never succeed unless he keeps better company. Anyone will tell you, a manager (even in ordinary business) is only as good as his staff.
Show me a successful man and I will show you a deputy he cannot do without.
10 Sep 2012, 14:11 pmI think Francois Hougaard would make an excellent fetcher. He has great upper body strength, speed and is used to playing in close with forwards anyway. His x factor is his vision and desire to get involved. He would be a bit like a faster Brussow.
10 Sep 2012, 14:44 pm@stormer in a teacup-13: True, but he will be thrown around like a rag doll, like what happened against Arg when he played 9.
Not worth it. He'll be injured.We need a captain closer to the forwards. JdV talks about the inexperience, but his experience helped nothing when the players were incited by Sharpe and the Arg players in the previous match. Yeah, it is part of the game, but tempers will still flare, and that's what you need a good captain for.
JdV was somewhere posing for the cameras on the other side of the field every time this happened.
10 Sep 2012, 16:57 pm@Bouts-14: I think when Bissie gets back next year, think he will be Bok captain. Doubt JdV will still captain next year. Meyer has him as captain until the end of the RC and think the eoyt.
10 Sep 2012, 17:25 pmJissie you get more bombastic and sound more arrogant with every article Ryan:
"I understand what Meyer is trying to achieve through his game plan and selections"
"…I've come to appreciate his tactical and technical grasp of the game."As if you are the oracle of rugby knowledge and you totally understand what an international coach is doing. China – Heyneke has forgotten things that you still dont know about rugby.
You are an irritating little journalist buzzing around him. A necessary evil.
I remember watching that video of you watching a press conference with PDiv, and your body language and facial expression as if you were the expert and PDiv was an idiot. Get over yourself china.
You are an armchair critic and supporter. You know a little bit about rugby (as I do) but we dont know anything compared to the guys who actually coach and actually play the game.
10 Sep 2012, 18:09 pmI think there is also a case for the guys being absolutely buggered ….. seems like it. They are just flat.
10 Sep 2012, 18:35 pm@Tacitus-2: meanwhile the Bok win percentage could slip to 38% after the two games against NZ – that's lower than the Scotland coach and comparable to Italy's.
10 Sep 2012, 18:41 pm@Big Hit-18: that will perhaps be just what the doctor ordered because then Saru going to be faced with a situation where the PREVIOUS coach was hired for 'NON' rugby reasons and THIS coach was hired for ABSOLUTE rugby reasons.. and now the so called FUNDI rugby GURU is found out to be the one SO FAR out his tree that he don't know the beginning of what principles actually WORK in this modern game which he has now shown he CANNOT possibly determine right from wrong in his thinking patterns…
and THEN the powers that be will be faced with the embarrassment of either having to FIRE this incompetent clown or face the fact that they have to ALLOW him his learning curve and suffer the consequences of hiring somebody who they THOUGHT was the answer but emphatically is NOT..!!
10 Sep 2012, 18:59 pmHas it ever entered your mind that the bok coaching job is a 'poisoned challis' within the current structures? I mean the poor guy has very little support as a coach. There has been no coaching and planning continuity. He was appointed 6 months too late, he has scrambled to put together a management team. There is no planning or support in terms of player management and planning and mapping this to an overall tactical blue print.
It is a mess.
And we expect this guy to perform miracles?
I do not think anyone would have done any better.
10 Sep 2012, 19:04 pm@2 "?This game plan makes us competitive in every single game"
Eng 3rd test – a late missed DG attempt away from a defeat; Arg in Mendoza – lucky charge down try & a tie; Aus – don't know what do to with decent ball.
All Blacks – _______________I Beg to differ
10 Sep 2012, 19:09 pm@The Analyst-20: This moron got NO CLUE..
ANYONE could have done Better .. ANYONE
I betcha that Naka Drotske and Hawies Fourie would have done a DAMN SIGHT BETTER.. or Pote Human .. or Alan Solomons or ANYONE ..!!!
Failing which I'll drink this goddamn poisoned chalice and SHOW this Moron how its done.
10 Sep 2012, 19:13 pm@Jeraldjay-7: welcome to the Light my man…
10 Sep 2012, 19:17 pm@20 – I agree 6 matches into his tenure is too early (and harsh) to give him a failing score. "Luckily" he's made almost every selection error possible in 6 games; he's maybe starting to reflect on the perception of him created by the walkie talkie warrior antics; he knows the men better. The way he was appointed (late) considering the fact that only a WC victory would have saved PdV robbed him of pre-preparation time & explains his propensity to work with his Bulls colleagues. In the long term I foresee the beginnings of a challenge to AB dominance, with a wiser HM making better calls
10 Sep 2012, 19:19 pmHave you got your level one coaching certificate yet wonder boy?
10 Sep 2012, 19:22 pm@ fitzella "I'll drink this goddamn poisoned chalice"
10 Sep 2012, 19:25 pmFitzella , you are better off drinking FROM the poisoned chalice, unless you can melt the chalice & drink it in it's liquid state
10 Sep 2012, 19:25 pmI don't need no level one coaching certificate..
ANYONE with a measly modicum of common sense can SEE wtf to do and WHO to select WHERE .. and WHAT is WRONG with this fckup Moron's emaciated self duped delusional strategy that KICK CHASE RUGBY IS MORS DOOD LONG A F'NG GO..!!!!
10 Sep 2012, 19:32 pmLove it mate.
10 Sep 2012, 19:37 pmHmmm
Which is why you are a rugby coach and not an outhouse constructor.
10 Sep 2012, 19:52 pm@Puma-15: If that happens then it will be yet another of Meyer's mistakes – Bismarck doesn't have the personality to be captain.
10 Sep 2012, 20:00 pmBy the way, who remembers Jon Cardinelli writing this:
"Hooper is an out-and-out fetcher, and you won't seem him defending or carrying the ball like Pocock or the Boks' Francois Louw. It will be a problem for the Wallabies, especially if their pack as a collective does not dominate the collisions."
It's here:
http://keo.co.za/2012/09/06/preview-wallabies-vs-springboks-2/Hooper then carried the ball for 51 metres, more than anyone else
Stats here:
10 Sep 2012, 21:58 pm@gunther-30: He does his best coaching from the throne. Specially scrum coaching.
10 Sep 2012, 23:59 pmRyan – 100% agree with you – it's simply not in the Bok DNA to play the so-called 'expansive game' – it's ALWAYS been a disaster when we've tried to play like the Antipodeans – from Ian McIntosh onwards to early Pieter de Villiers – DISASTER – Kitch Christie, Jake White (+ Aussie Eddie) eventually got it – Heyneke just needs to get key players back.
Boks are at their best when they are playing with passion and physicality and superb defence – we run 'the expansive game' in the last 20 minutes when the other side have been hammered so much they want the game end. It's not pretty, it's not clever – but it's the Bok way and, for some of us, lovely to watch.
But we do need a fetcher.
11 Sep 2012, 00:49 amWell then how is it that the Sharks can play the "expansive" game, like the Antipodeans, and for the most part beat them at their own game? Or don't the best players in the country have the ability to emulate what the Sharks are producing?
The days of moering them in the forwards and then hoofing up and unders should go the way of the ox wagon – since it's as innovative as a bleeding ox wagon. But Blue Bulls ox wagon rugby seems to be the only thing that HM knows. The bottom line is that we have the players in SA to produce any kind of rugby. The problem is the coaching – dull, unimaginative, unable to adjust to the circumstances and for the most part, downright stoopid.
11 Sep 2012, 04:44 amHeineken — dead yarp walking… left, right, left, right….
11 Sep 2012, 12:02 firstname.lastname@example.com. Cowper-34: Well I totally disagree with you guys! Boks have played in a good "expansive" way before (not like the Blues or Lions do, but in a balanced way) and they can do it now.
Have your say

The FBI again thwarts its own Terror plotSeptember 29, 2011 By Glenn Greenwald Salon.com The FBI has received substantial criticism over the past decade -- much of it valid -- but nobody can deny its record of excellence in thwarting its own Terrorist plots. Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out -- only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI converted, and save a grateful nation from the plot manufactured by the FBI. Last year, the FBI subjected 19-year-old Somali-American Mohamed Osman Mohamud to months of encouragement, support and money and convinced him to detonate a bomb at a crowded Christmas event in Portland, Oregon, only to arrest him at the last moment and then issue a Press Release boasting of its success. In late 2009, the FBI persuaded and enabled Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year old Jordanian citizen, to place a fake bomb at a Dallas skyscraper and separately convinced Farooque Ahmed, a 34-year-old naturalized American citizen born in Pakistan, to bomb the Washington Metro. And now, the FBI has yet again saved us all from its own Terrorist plot by arresting 26-year-old American citizen Rezwan Ferdaus after having spent months providing him with the plans and materials to attack the Pentagon, American troops in Iraq, and possibly the Capitol Building using "remote-controlled" model airplanes carrying explosives. None of these cases entail the FBI's learning of an actual plot and then infiltrating it to stop it. They all involve the FBI's purposely seeking out Muslims (typically young and impressionable ones) whom they think harbor animosity toward the U.S. and who therefore can be induced to launch an attack despite having never taken even a single step toward doing so before the FBI targeted them. Each time the FBI announces it has disrupted its own plot, press coverage is predictably hysterical (new Homegrown Terrorist caught!), fear levels predictably rise, and new security measures are often implemented in response (the FBI's Terror plot aimed at the D.C. Metro, for instance, led to the Metro Police announcing a new policy of random searches of passengers' bags). I have several observations and questions about these matters:

'Mounting Evidence' receives rave reviewsOctober 2, 2011 "In one volume, Mounting Evidence provides the most important evidence accumulated over many years that calls into question the government's account of 9/11. Any citizen of conscience reading it will demand a new investigation." -Mike Gravel, United States Senate, 1969-1981 There's little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 soon became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But even now, over a decade later, how well does the public actually understand them? Other researchers have written about key facets of 9/11-the fall of World Trade Center buildings, the air-defense failures, the backgrounds of the hijackers, or the role of the Saudi funders. This impressively researched volume, however, is the first comprehensive treatment of the many different angles. It connects the dots to reveal disturbing patterns. Years after many of us thought the Crime of the Century was solved, "case closed" additional evidence demands a closer look. These findings, which Dr. Rea presents in a lively, accessible way, call out for a new investigation. In Mounting Evidence, Dr. Rea shows how, by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can end seemingly endless wars, take back personal liberties they've lost, and restore their democracy. Reviews at Amazon.com "Who dun it?", September 27, 2011 Dr. Rea has put together a classic "Who dun it?" mystery. He has coupled the basic information about September 11, 2001 that has been given to the public by various sources with a thorough investigation of the unanswered questions which yet remain. These questions raise serious doubts about the authenticity of that which has been spoon fed us by the media. In the well recognized pattern of a good "Who dun it?" Dr. Rea leaves the reader with a multitude of suspects in our government who have yet to be called on to explain their actions. And the reader must ask, "How can we get another, this time unbiased, investigation?" "Mounting Evidence" reads like a detective story, September
26, 2011 "Mounting Evidence" accomplishes what no other book on 9/11 has even attempted. While other books have focused on various and individual aspects concerning the attack--the collapse of three buildings, the terrorists, or the air defense failures--Dr. Paul W. Rea has written a comprehensive lively treatment of ALL the many angles of this momentous attack. He connects the dots and demonstrates with impeccable documentation the disturbing patterns. His bibliography is also extensive. You can find it on his web site: [...]. "Mounting Evidence" helped me to understand all the events that led to that tragic day. It's truly a page turner that reads like a detective story. Read more ...

Al Qaeda versus Iran 'War of Words": 9/11 Truth Wielded as a Political Trump CardBy Larry Chin September 30, 2011 Global Research Iran is engaged in a surreal global shouting match with so-called Al-Qaeda figures over who and what was responsible for the atrocities of 9/11. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad began by publicly pronouncing that 9/11 was a US government false flag operation. Al-Qaeda responded by accusing Ahmadinejad of being a conspiracy theorist -- a "9/11 truther". Iran then replied in kind by pointing to CIA involvement with Al-Qaeda. This spectacle would be uproarious, if the actual stakes were not so high; if this war of words was not part of a much larger and very real war that places the future of the entire world at risk. What we are witnessing is a typical propaganda battle in which truth, lies and half-truths have been liberally mixed. Only the most clear-minded and astute observers can see the battle lines clearly.

Statement from Occupy Wall Street, 9/30/11Greetings from Occupied Wall Street, Posted September 30, 2011, 5:06 a.m. EST by OccupyWallSt.org Occupy Wall Street has recently come into the media spotlight, not because of our political message, but because certain high-ranking members of the NYPD punched, threw, and stepped on peaceful marchers. Arrestees were handcuffed so tight their hands turned blue. Many of these people have yet to regain feeling in their extremities. A senior police officer infamously forced women into pens and maced them at point-blank range. While we vehemently condemn these abuses of power, we urge all who read this to remain focused on our intended message. Abuse of power is abuse of power. Whether perpetrated by Wall Street bankers or members of the NYPD, it is the duty of all citizens to oppose injustice. We condemn the actions of unprofessional police who used excessive force in subduing a peaceful march. But we are foremost here to oppose the growing power of the ruling class.

Ralph Nader's Grand AllianceProgressives find hope--in Ron Paul. By Michael Tracey It's no secret that Ralph Nader has held the Democratic Party establishment in low regard for decades now: the marginally more palatable alternative in an ugly duopoly, he claims, is still quite ugly. But lately Nader's disdain has reached a new high. "It's gotten so bad," he tells me, "that you can actually say a Republican president--with a Democratic Senate--would produce less bad results than the present situation. That's how bollixed stuff has gone." Not that he was ever particularly optimistic about the Obama administration, especially its potential to make headway on curtailing corporate welfare, now Nader's signature policy objective. But in that, as with so many aspects of Obama's presidency, the adjectives "disappointing" or "inadequate" don't even begin to capture the depths of progressive disillusionment. Looking ahead to the 2012 presidential race, one might assume that Nader has little to be cheerful about. Yet he says there is one candidate who sticks out--who even gives him hope: Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. That might sound counterintuitive. Nader, of course, is known as a stalwart of the independent left, having first gained notoriety for his 1960s campaign to impose greater regulatory requirements on automakers--a policy act that would seem to contravene the libertarian understanding of justified governmental power. So I had to ask: how could he profess hope in Ron Paul, who almost certainly would have opposed the very regulations on which Nader built his career?

Michael Moore Backs Call to Re-Open Investigation of 9/11 AttacksSeptember 29, 2011 DemocracyNow.org In his film "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore explored the complex ties between Bush administration officials and associates, the Saudi Royal family, and those believed to have carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. Today, Moore is backing former Florida governor and senator Bob Graham's call for President Obama to reopen the investigation into 9/11 after new information emerged about the possible role of prominent Saudis. According to recent news reports, a wealthy young Saudi couple fled their home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida, just a week or so before Sept. 11, 2001, leaving behind three cars and nearly all of their possessions. "There are many unanswered questions and they should be answered," Moore says. He also was targeted by his critics for this film. Moore talks about how the Bush administration worried the movie would hurt Bush's re-election chances, and how he found out that he ranked second behind then-President Bush on the number of discovered plots to attack him.

Update2: Looks promising (not...): NYPD to investigate Tony Bologna.... "I don't know what precipitated that specific incident," [police commissioner] Kelly said, claiming the protesters were engaged in "tumultuous conduct" and "intent on blocking traffic."

Read A Banned Book -- September 24-October 1, 2001September 24~October 1, 2011 American Library Association Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States. Intellectual freedom--the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular--provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them. The books featured during Banned Books Week have been targets of attempted bannings. Fortunately, while some books were banned or restricted, in a majority of cases the books were not banned, all thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, booksellers, and members of the community to retain the books in the library collections. Imagine how many more books might be challenged--and possibly banned or restricted--if librarians, teachers, and booksellers across the country did not use Banned Books Week each year to teach the importance of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature, and to draw attention to the danger that exists when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society. Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association; American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression; the American Library Association; American Society of Journalists and Authors; Association of American Publishers; and the National Association of College Stores. It is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. In 2011, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund; National Coalition Against Censorship; National Council of Teachers of English; and PEN American Center also signed on as sponsors.

Insurance giant withdraws 9/11 lawsuit against Saudi ArabiaHmm...
– Ed.
September 21, 2011 by Daily Mail Reporter UK Daily Mail An insurance firm has withdrawn its lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, which had claimed the country funded the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks. A division of Lloyd's of London had filed documents in a U.S. court on September 8 demanding the return of $215million compensation it paid victims. But the lawsuit has now been dropped. Attorney Stephen Cozen of law firm Cozen O'Connor, which represents Lloyd's, told Insurance Journal that he cannot comment on why Lloyd's decided to drop the case less than two weeks after filing the complaint.

Big media's shameful news brownout on the Wall Street protestsOnce in a while a journalist truly shines through. Will Bunch has consistently done so. Thank you, and bravo, Mr. Bunch.
– Ed.
September 20, 2011 By Will Bunch Attytood - Will's blog at Philly.com What do you think was running in the pro-government, pro-Mubarek newspapers in Egypt back in February, when crowds of unhappy and often un- or under-employed citizens began crowding into Tahrir Square? I don't know the answer to that, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say there probably wasn't a lot of coverage of what was happening in Tahrir Square, at least at first. They were probably running cute feature stories about an old-time falafel stand in a changing Cairo neighborhood, or maybe articles on parking problems at the Great Pyramids. They certainly weren't going to call attention to the elephant in the room that was about to knock over a corrupt and decadent society. I was thinking about that this week, during the extra time I had on my hands because I wasn't reading in the pages of the New York Times or the Washington Post about the Wall Street protests that have been going on now for four days, with hundreds of disenchanted and disaffected youth camping out nightly in a lower Manhattan park, marching on the financial district by day, getting arrested and provoking a large police presence including a phalanx of NYPD cops guarding the notorious Merrill Lynch bronze idol of greed. Call me crazy, but as a journalist marking his 30th anniversary in the news business this year, I would think that an ongoing protest like that in my hometown would at least make the local newspaper. Not necessarily on Page 1, and not even every day necessarily. But at least wedged somewhere between the various ads for Tiffany and Saks, etc. p>Maybe that explains why I've never gotten a job at the New York Times.Apparently for editors in their plush 8th Avenue skyscraper, the Wall Street Day of Rage is not among the news that the New York Times considers fit to print (emphasis on the word "print"...more on that aspect in a second). Instead, since as many as 2,000 demonstrators against Wall Street and government corruption first crowded into Manhattan's Zuccotti Park on Saturday (the numbers have dwindled since then), the metro section of the Times has gone wild with the imminent closing of the orginal Ray's Pizza as well as the looming disappearance of parking meters(maybe the Gray Lady is just selling nostalgic to newspapers' graying audience?)

BFP Breaking News: Confirmed Identity of the CIA Official behind 9/11, Rendition & Torture Cases is RevealedAlfreda Frances Bikowsky: The Current Director of the CIA Global Jihad Unit September 21, 2011 Boiling Frogs Post has now confirmed the identity of the CIA analyst at the heart of a notorious failure in the run-up to the September 11th tragedy. Her name is Alfreda Frances Bikowsky and she is the current director of the CIA Jihad Unit. Through three credible sources and documents we have confirmed Ms. Bikowsky's former titles and positions, including her start at the CIA as an analyst for the Soviet Desk, her position as one of the case officers at the CIA's Bin Laden Unit-Alec Station, her central role and direct participation in the CIA's rendition-torture and black sites operations, and her current position as director of the CIA's Global Jihad Unit. The producers Nowosielski and Duffy have now made both names available at their website. They also identify the second CIA culprit as Michael Anne Casey. We have not been able to obtain confirmation by other sources on this person yet, but we are still working on it. Alfreda Frances Bikowsky is the person described in New Yorker journalist Jane Mayer's book The Dark Side as having flown in to watch the waterboarding of terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammad without being assigned to do so. "Its not supposed to be entertainment," superiors were said to have told her. She was also at the center of "the el-Masri incident," in which an innocent German citizen was kidnapped by the CIA in 2003 and held under terrible conditions without charges for five months in a secret Afghan prison. The AP characterized it as "one of the biggest diplomatic embarrassments of the U.S. war on terrorism." Both the previous and current administrations appear to have deemed Alfreda Frances Bikowsky's direct involvement in intentional obstruction of justice, intentional cover up, lying to Congress, and overseeing rendition-kidnapping-torture practices as qualifying factors to have kept promoting her. She now leads the CIA's Global Jihad Unit and is a close advisor to the President.

Jose Padilla and how American justice functionsBy Glenn Greenwald September 20, 2011 Salon.com The story of Jose Padilla, continuing through the events of yesterday, expresses so much of the true nature of the War on Terror and especially America's justice system. In 2002, the American citizen was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, publicly labeled by John Ashcroft as The Dirty Bomber, and then imprisoned for the next three years on U.S. soil as an "enemy combatant" without charges of any kind, and denied all contact with the outside world, including even a lawyer. During his lawless incarceration, he was kept not just in extreme solitary confinement but extreme sensory deprivation as well, and was abused and tortured to the point of severe and probably permanent mental incapacity (Bush lawyers told a court that they were unable to produce videos of Padilla's interrogations because those videos were mysteriously and tragically "lost").

Lloyd's insurer sues Saudi Arabia for 'funding 9/11 attacks'By Cahal Milmo, Chief Reporter 19 September 2011 UK Independent A Lloyd's insurance syndicate has begun a landmark legal case against Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of indirectly funding al-Qa'ida and demanding the repayment of £136m it paid out to victims of the 9/11 attacks. The Brighton-based Lloyd's 3500 syndicate, which paid $215m compensation to companies and individuals involved, alleges that the oil-rich Middle Eastern superpower bears primary responsibility for the atrocity because al-Qa'ida was supported by banks and charities acting as "agents and alter egos" for the Saudi state. The detailed case, which names a number of prominent Saudi charities and banks as well as a leading member of the al-Saud royal family, will cause embarrassment to the Saudi government, which has long denied claims that Osama bin Laden's organisation received official financial and practical support from his native country. Outlined in a 156-page document filed in western Pennsylvania, where United Airlines flight 93 crashed on 9/11, the claim suggests that the nine defendants "knowingly" provided resources, including funding, to al-Qa'ida in the years before the attack and encouraged anti-Western sentiment which increased support for the terror group. The legal claim states: "Absent the sponsorship of al-Qa'ida's material sponsors and supporters, including the defendants named therein, al-Qa'ida would not have possessed the capacity to conceive, plan and execute the 11 September attacks. The success of al-Qa'ida's agenda, including the 11 September attacks themselves, has been made possible by the lavish sponsorship al-Qa'ida has received from its material sponsors and supporters over more than a decade leading up to 11 September 2001."

Olympic Stadium is roaring for Mo Farah, and for the rest of his family. The British distance runner turned on the jets on the final lap to run away with the men's 10,000 meters on Saturday night. Farah collapsed to the track in tears, then made the shape of a heart to tell 80,000 adoring fans that the feeling was mutual. Minutes later, Farah's wife and stepdaughter met him on the track, and he scooped up his little girl in a warm embrace. The family posed for pictures as the cheers continued, a family portrait that will be difficult to top. —Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://www.twitter.com/APKrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

At the Kimball Business Expo in March, we took a 4-page survey. We learned a lot about what our readers read, and how they read it.
There were some surprises, and some things we pretty much knew.
Many of our readers read from cover to cover, often in one sitting. Some save it for weekend reading.
What do our readers read most? Weddings and anniversaries and birth announcements. Not a surprise that lots of people read them, but a pleasant surprise that they're top for readers.
Another set of horrific images are now emblazoned in my brain. The raw video and photos of carnage and human misery.
We don't yet know if this was the act of international terrorism, or of a single deranged individual seeking fame by causing terror and human misery.
Thank God. Literally. Seriously. Thank God it's done. And thank God we all survived.
We've grown accustomed to the weekly glitches and bumps along our path to getting out this weekly paper. Every week it's something. Last week, we had about a year's worth of those "somethings." From computer freezes to septic freezes, and illness, accidents and hospitalizations. Both the newspaper and the Progress Issue itself had to be reprinted. The final bunch go out this week, with this paper.

Suns coach Alvin Gentry: Only we can fix ourselves
Originally published: Jan 9, 2013 - 2:47 pm
The Suns have lost their last ten road games, and hold a 2-15 record away from US Airways Center.
Wednesday night doesn't get any easier for Alvin Gentry and his team, as the Suns travel to Boston to face an emotional Celtics team on a three-game winning streak.
The coach joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo show Wednesday afternoon, and explained his team has the ability to put it together, but only they have the power to turn it around.
"The only people that can play their way out of this thing is us," Gentry emphasized. "And we've got to do it collectively as a group."
The Suns' 108-99 loss in Milwaukee to the Bucks Tuesday night showed signs of progress on offense, but the team still failed to put together a full 48 minutes.
"We did play well," Gentry said. "We've had great looks and just hadn't been able to get them in the basket. We just have to find a way to maintain."
Proficiency seems to be a killer for the Suns' momentum at the end of games, and Gentry expressed an understanding of how that has hurt his team's chances.
"We just have to be able to execute at the end of the game," he said. "We have not been able to come up with big shots, or big baskets, or big rebounds. That has been the biggest Achilles heel for us."
Listen: Alvin Gentry, Suns Head Coach Coach admits this season has not gone as he expected it would. Does he think a trade deal is coming? How does he plan to work with what he's got tonight against the Celtics?
Gentry says with the absence of forward Channing Frye and his ability to spread the court, someone needs to step up.
"The guy made a ton of threes for us over the last three seasons," Gentry said. "We need that weapon in order to open up the floor."
Gentry and his staff continue to look for viable options for combinations on the court to boost the Suns' performance.
"We have to keep searching as coaches to find the combination that's going to be best for us," he said. "All the emphasis has got to be placed on performing on the floor."
With the recent reports of the Suns looking for trade options, Gentry said he's going move forward with who he has for now.
"Until that happens, we have who we have," Gentry said. "We have to take these guys and do the very best we can with them.
"We have to find a way to dig ourselves out of this."

TOPEKA -- On Friday the District of Columbia court of appeals left intact a ruling against a new clean-air policy from the Environmental Protection Agency. Under the rule, states were required to reduce air pollutants from sources like power plants to protect the health of people living in the area. In august, a three judge federal panel ruled against the EPA. Kansas was one of more than a dozen states that challenged the regulation. State attorney general Derek Schmidt said had the rule been enacted, it would have imposed additional costs to utility rate payers. The court of appeals ruling will stand unless the US Supreme Court takes up the case.

A Harlan County man was convicted in Harlan Circuit Court on Tuesday for charges stemming from an altercation with Kentucky State Police troopers last year.
Special Judge James Bowling presided over the trial of Lee Roy Helton, 66, who was indicted on charges stemming from an incident that occurred on Feb. 17, 2011.
The indictment stated Helton intentionally attempted to cause physical harm to Kentucky State Police troopers Jared Boggs and James Earl Hensley when they arrested him after a traffic stop.
According to the citation, Boggs was dispatched to the scene where Helton was allegedly involved in a domestic complaint with his child's mother.
"On the way to the complaint I passed this vehicle and conducted a traffic stop," reads the citation. "Upon stopping the vehicle the driver got out of the vehicle and charged my (Boggs') cruiser."
The citation stated Helton then attempted to strike Boggs, but Boggs moved out of the way. Boggs then drew his taser and advised Helton he was under arrest and ordered him to put his hands behind his back. When Helton refused to do so, Boggs deployed his taser. Helton also kicked Hensley during the incident, the indictment said.
A grand jury handed down a four-count indictment against Helton on May 7. The indictment charges Helton with two counts of third-degree assault, resisting arrest and menacing.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jason Jackson handled the case for the state, with Helton being represented by Daniel Schulman and Laura Karem of the Public Defender's Office.
Helton testified that he could not have committed the assault due to health issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome which prevented him from making a fist.
Jackson pointed out during cross examination that Helton had actually made a fist during his testimony. Helton responded that making a fist caused him extreme pain.
At one point, Bowling asked Helton about photos that were submitted as evidence. There was a question of manipulation. Bowling inquired how the alleged injury marks looked the same on both sides of his body. Helton stated that the injury marks were real.
Schulman noted in his closing argument that Helton was not an imposing figure and would be unable to instill fear in the troopers.
"I can imagine them (Boggs and Hensley) being afraid for their safety against a hulk, but Mr. Helton," Shulman asked the jury.
Schulman also stated the troopers had tased Helton and delivered "closed fist strikes" to Helton.
"There is only one conclusion," said Schulman. "Not guilty."
Jackson then concluded his case, stating that Helton's age and health were not an issue when it comes to judging how dangerous he may or may not be.
"A 90-year old man can have a gun in his pants," Jackson told the jury.
"We've proved beyond a reasonable doubt Mr. Helton is guilty of these charges," said Jackson.
The jury spent approximately an hour and a half deliberating the case, returning with the guilty verdict.
The jury returned verdicts of guilty on one count of third-degree assault, menacing and resisting arrest.
On the misdemeanors, Helton will be sentenced to 90 days in jail and a $250 fine on the menacing charge, and three months in jail and a $500 fine on the charge of resisting arrest.
The jury recommended one year in prison on the felony assault conviction.
Bowling remanded Helton into custody, denying the defense's request that Helton remain free until sentencing.
Bowling set sentencing for Nov. 1.

:innocent: Oh and thanks for the reps everyone!! I won't get any power until I get to 50 posts. Kind of lame to keep throwing grey darts at ya all so I'll start repping again after I get to 50 posts. Rexy, thanks for not posting those pics here! Is THAT what I look like with no makeup? :icon_eek:
Mornin' Ho's I need to get to 50 posts today.... It's about time... Can't find my coffee drinking smiley... Johnny where are you? Please get me my mornin' smiley back...
On second thought We can do one for VJ... Using something about being a bench warmer for the season... holding out, etc. We could do one for AJ being a stubborn, hard nosed, no people skills etc. I'm sure a weekly parody could be done, "tastefully"
Making your own adopt a bolt signatures is fine. If you are planning parodies and non-player sigs, please develop your own backgrounds fonts et al so no one misconstrues them as items used in 'playing favorites'.
Good luck with that. Maybe if I bring up Roman Polanski again the thread will return to previous activity.
:lol: Or maybe Scar can make an appearance. He's too able to get the thread hoppin'. I've been "blaming" him for getting me banned in the first place. :icon_rofl:

Scavenger Hunt for A Cause Bethpage Student Surpasses Lymphedema Fundraising Goal National Lymphedema Network medical advisory committee member Bonnie Lasinski (center) presents a certificate of appreciation to Bethpage High School senior Jordan Schessler (left) for hosting a scav-enger hunt to raise money for awareness and education of lymphedema. Also pictured (right) is school social worker Christine Kennedy, who assisted Jordan in this effort. Bethpage High School senior Jordan Schessler twice exceeded her goal to raise funds for the education and cure of Lymphedema. With the help of school social worker Christine Kennedy and 15 members of the teaching staff, Jordan raised $2,000 for the National Lymphedema Network by hosting a schoolwide scavenger hunt. Approximately 85 students participated in the activity, during which they searched for clues in the library, art room, band room, gymnasium, and other loca-tions throughout the school. Each member of the winning team received a $5 gift card. Lymphedema is a blockage of the lymph nodes, vessels that drain fluids throughout the body and allow immune cells to travel where they are needed. This condition hits close to home for Jordan, who was diag-nosed with lymphedema at nine years of age. Jordan also volunteers her time in the National Lymphedema Network's regional office in Woodbury, where she counsels patients. "Jordan's attitude is infectious," National Lymphedema Network medical advisory committee member Bonnie Lasinski stated. "The scav-enger hunt was a great opportunity for young people to participate and make a difference for a good cause. I hope similar fundraising efforts take fire in other schools." Photos provided by Elizabeth Sobel, Syntax. Bethpage High School students (l-r) Danielle Koenig, Taylor Ilasi, Allyssa Szynal, and Kristina Milutinovic were the winners of the scavenger hunt hosted by Jordan Schessler to raise funds for lymphedema research and education.
