Is Israel a Proxy for US Interests, destablization and profits
十年树 百年人 (shi nian shu bai nian ren) It takes 10 years to grow a tree and one hundred years to rear a people – chinese proverb
Questions to explore:
- With a failed policy with regards to Palestinian issues jepordizing the safty of Israelis and the region, is Israel a proxy for destablizing a region in which large US military and defense interests reside. Profits can be gained by large corperations within the military industrialist quarters of the corperate world.
Norman Finkelstein, Roots of Conflict: http://www.pdxjustice.org/#Finkelstein_08May2008A
Highlighting the power of government and control, power and corruption reducing outspoken thinking individuals to intimidated and wrecked lives, may be the story of Norman Finkelstein. A graduate of Binghamton University in the state of New York, and receiving a PhD from Princeton, New Jersey, in political science, his demise as a US professor at DePaul University, in June of 2007, may lend much to understanding censorship, overall, a censorship that is politically motivated, and one that has links to State Department and military policy.
Finkelstein interview:
Military 'Intervention' and US Special Interests: Deceits and Failures
十年树 百年人 (shi nian shu bai nian ren) It takes 10 years to grow a tree and one hundred years to rear a people – chinese proverb
Do you think the Pentagon is a weapon of mass destruction, or a department of national defense. Perhaps a strange question, but one to ponder, for today our sitting politicians, in my opinion, have failed in making decisions in the interest of the American people. The facts regarding the stiching of lies (weapons of mass destruction) by US intelligence and the Bush State Department in the lead up to our current military 'intervention' in Iraq should show anyone a dishonesty that has sapped (and is sapping) our financial resources, devasated the infrustructure of a sovereign nation, and killed more then a million, people, American and Iraqi, as reports have it. Also going back to 1990, America's stated 'hands off' policy in the lead up to the Gulf War by Bush senior's administration, regarding tense border dispute, between Iraq and Kuwait, in retrospect, seems to exhibit duplicity. The face of American foreign policy has prouded itself on its peace keepers, sent often in NATO allied initiatives from the continent of Africa to the Eastern regions of Europe. This face, also is shown as one that mediates when conflicts erupt between neighbors, in the name of saving lives and defending sovereignty, but when mysterious illnesses inflict our war veterans, and the profits made by outsourced services, to huge corperations, rise, during war, we might be able to see that the United States may very well have two faces. Where in lies the word deceit if such a duality exists, and who is doing the deceiving. Upon who does such deceit fall? Such questions may be a good starting point, leading to a vast web of intrigue, beyond the Pentagon and State Department, to one that may extend from the exercised consolidation of huge media interests to our two party system, itself, and those in office. The words monopoly and cartel, are often used in reference to oil and opium producers, as well as pharmaceutical companies here in the US, but could it be that our government, and those that it has as its interested parties, are a cartel, or that they have a monoploy on policy, while media and image making gives a false impression to the world, and a false belief to the citizenry of the US, which is that of a democratic process of government that holds its voting population as its interested party?
I would argue that there may be enough evidence, of a cartel, a chain of special interests and power brokers, financial globalists, who in sum monopolize policy making here in the US, from the uses, and from, what I see as misuse, of our focres of national defense. Highlighting monopoly and special interests, one may see regulation, or the lack of it, as well as the use of it, as mechanisms of those who are in power, who represent favored interests, such as defense contractors, and drug companies. Such a monopoly may even regulate what we, as Americans, read, hear and see, via the media, which I would say, should be the lifeblood a true democracy, but today, in part, in may support agendas of special interests, whether war or reported supportive claims of drugs such as prozac, undermining the free market of ideas and knowledge with special interests and controls.
The media may be seen as a conduit that either prevents truth, or helps to build truth. The media works in respective ways, both in dictatorships, and democracies. If the media fails to inform citizens, and works instead to sustain or hide a reality, then that country's media is not behaving in democratic ways, and instead panders to industrialists, war profits, and special interests. It becomes a vehicle by which the cartel that monoploizes the powers within our government create myths, sustain status quos, and sends people into war.
One might be able to see the Pentagon as something different from a department of national defense, when we look at the recent use of our military. Is it not a treasonous act to send soldiers into war, after having painstakingly created lies and fabricated evidence, as laying down the foundations for deployment? Is that what we saw in the year 2003? One must ask, if one is to take such a statement as fact, how deep is the deceit and where might it end, and who is paying for that deceit. What might be the driving force of such deceit. Is this, if so, a failure of our current two party monopoly in Washington, and the nation in general. By default, America, I would say, has allowed for power to be monopolized by two parties, and over time, the mechanisms of these two parties have become saturated with special interests, as well as power, but not in actuality representing the people. Of course, this word, special interests, is heard from the news and the media, especially during election time, but the media has long failed, in my opinion, to be a source of information that would keep inflated, the life preservers of the democracy our founding fathers had created, as our politicians, in no uncertain way, play into the hands of special interests. and the media, in many different ways, placate, while pandering to that special interest. This is how the Penagon and the State Department could launch the overt aggression that it did in 2003, and this is how the citizens of the US, in large part, still in shock from the 911, were either indifferent, or supportive, leaving a minority in protest of the invasion. –this blogger
In just hours after the 911 attacks, our sitting Secretary of Defense (reported by CBS 'Plans For Iraq Attack Began on 9/11), was making initiatives for planning a war on Iraq, though evidence, in the years leading up to the Iraq invasion, was controversial, and what evidence there was, soon became suspect. One must ask, as an American, or a memeber of the world community of nations, what were the reasons for sending the US military into war? The measures of destruction and deaths in Iraq since 2003, the subsequent unleashing of sectarian violence, and the strain, as well as death, inflicted on US combatants, are not being presented in a realistic fashion, in my opinion. These are being hidden, rather than highlighted, by the media, as justification waves banners reading 'democracy'. Glossed over, are the realities, with words such as 'winning the war', while the words'ending the war' become 'lose the war' Such words echo in other ways, and that echo is reflected in the word hegemony, as for decades, national defense has dissovled into gray arenas termed of military 'interventions'. Media reportage and articles in the press can be, and are, used in similar ways as in advertising, to get the public to buy something, to induce or reduce emotional responses, guide sentiments, or hide realities.

Interview, and Review of James Bamford's Pretext for War: Inventing A Pretext For War
Gulf War Syndrome
A larger syndrome of policies founded on special interests, rather then democratic values, policies that have proven successful for some, those seeking profits, but unsuccessful to values adhered to when considering sovereignty, and value for human life.
gulf war syndrome: http://www.immed.org/illness/gulfwar_illness_research.html
Reported, Gulf War Vets passing on illness to offspring: http://operationpurpleheart.blogspot.com/
Regarding this, information is plentiful, though composit is inconclusive. Have our politicians failed in addressing certain issues that inflict pain on war veterans, and a military that has its secrets? Secret Military Experiments on Americans……http://www.all-natural.com/bio-chem.html
I have not researched this beyond what I have read and heard in the news in years past, but find that it needs to be looked at. As the Gulf War Sydrome may be just one manifestation in a larger syndrome, and that may be how our military has been used, in an undemocratic fashion, and for greed and power. It is always easy to find pretextes for actions, such as spreading democracy to regions of the world, or protecting 'American interests', but one must ask firstly, what are the interests of extending our military in ways that we have seen in the last decade, while condemning other nations for 'meddling' in regions that have hold interests for them. As America's military is spread in combat, from the Persian Gulf to the terrains of Central Asia, and as a nation we still have not come to terms with the preplexing posture of our government had in the lead up to Saddam Hussain's invasion of Kuwait. Furthermore, the current syndrome effecting military soldiers returning home with unpresidented reports of PTSD and other psychological illnesses, as suicides of veterans inflict families accross the expanse of what has we call America, rises. The government and our elected officials, are their actions showing concerns for what they have been elected into office for? The issues impinges on just more then the eroding heath of veterans, who return home from the strain of ill planning by the defense department, and the effects inflicted on families, as one may make the claim that our military has extended itself beyond the frontiers of national defense, to defending and preserving the interests of corperations, from oil to fruit growers, in recent decades. From our involvement in Central and South America, with covert operations, highlighted by the climatic Reagan administration's Iran-Contra scandal, to the initiative of George Herbert Walker Bush in his effort to extract Saddam Hussain's military from Kuwait. If we follow a logic, that of establishing false pretextes for sending our military into war, there is a common thread woven between Bush Senior and that of his son, who is now the sitting president of the United States, and in command of our military. If we read what this logic says, we may make some conclusions concerning the profit driven defense industry, the financial interests of the Bush family, those who surround the current president, and how our democracy may be functioning as an empire as opposed to a democracy, an empire with a cartel mantality, and a monopoly on on the minds of Americans.
- Renegade Men and the US Government, false pretenses for sending our troops abraod.
Stated as fact, and reality, that western countries, including the US, had industrialists invest and supply Iraq' s chemical and biological arsenal. According to Elson E. Boles, as well as others (John King: Arming Iraq, The History of US Involvement), the US, along with a few other NATO countries, as well as Russia, supplied Iraq's military with weapons, while the US aided in planned implementation of chemcial weapons systems, during the years Iraq was engaged in its war with Iran: http://www.counterpunch.org/boles1010.html
Needless to say perhaps, is the fact that Iraq was armed and supported politically by the United States during its 8 year war with Iran, and this war led to massive bloodshed on both sides, while straining both economically. One could say that this economic strain on Iraq led to the President's a proposed rising the price of world oil to OPEC. The proposal was refused. Seeking to remedy economic woes, incurred, in part, or primarily from the 8 year war, Saddam Hussein sought a provacative posture towards Kuwait in disputes over a border region, which included allegations by Iraq's President that Kuwait was in violation of national boundaries by syphoning oil from oil field within, but on the edge of Iraq's borders with Kuwait.
April Glaspie, U.S. ambassador to Iraq relayed a message to Iraq's president that the US would take no position on the disputed boarder contecting Iraq and Kuwait. Was this a green light for Saddam Hussain to invade Iraq. Many at the time critical of this war thought so.
With our military extended in such strained condition, as soldiers return with record high rates of PTSD, and resulting suicide, it is needed that every American reevaluate our State Department's use of US military in decades past. Bill Clinton was hand tied with the military due to the disasterous and embarassing results of Senior Bush's actions in Somalia, and many see the 911 attacks as being in part the result of Clinton's missle attack, after the Kenyian and Tanzanian emabssy bombings, on a supposed Sudanese chemical facility identified by intellignece as producing chemcials, for it ignited hatred within the arab population, and feeding the fires of the militant sector of pan-arabism, namely terrorists groups. Many state that Clinton's failure to implement an all out 'offense', in a 'pre-emptive' strike, led to his mainly 'for show' strike on the Sudanese chemical facility. One may say, that any military strike in the regions from north africa to Persia, and places in between, by the US, or NATO, is throwing gasoline onto fire. US involvement does fit into the matrix of underlying forces that facilitated the Iran and Iraq war, as well as the opened the hidden doorways to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the subsequent Gulf War, which saw deployment of American troops to a region and terrain which supplies 28 percent of the world's supply of oil (http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Persian_Gulf/Background.html), while the United States sitting president at the time, George H. Bush, and his Secretary of State, James A. Baker, and their repective families, held, and today still hold, huge interests in American oil companies. It is difficult to see the United States as an oligarchy, but when the pretext for war is spreading American democratic values, along with faulty alligations of WMD, one may get a clearer picture, as most combatants come from working class backgrounds, and recruiting agents use snazy commericialized tactics to lure working class urban african americans.
Do you think the Pentagon is a weapon of mass destruction, or a department of national defense. Perahps a strange question, but one to ponder.

Just take a butcher's at this eyesore would ya?
Specially produced for their recent 'Reggio di Calabria' derby game against sworn enemies Crotone, Serie B side Reggina Calcio hoped that a shirt designed to look like the chiselled, weather-worn torso of an Ancient Greek statue would strike the fear of the Gods into their local rivals (the goalkeeper's similarly Adonis-esque jersey is on the right in the second image). It resoundingly failed to do so.
Despite the kit representing 'the pride of the land' being etched onto the Reginna players' skin, the game ended in a dull 1-1 draw. Reggina also had two men sent off, presumably for attempting to smite their opponents down with plagues, boils and the like.
(Via Reggina Calcio, thanks to Pies fan @r_shauss for the tip-off)

In August of 2012, the new Philadelphia Zoning Code came into effect. Page one states the code's purpose, which, among other points, is to promote sound planning principles by "Protecting the desirable characteristics of the City's neighborhoods."
To help accomplish this, the code encourages the creation of "RCO's" – Registered Community Organizations. Across the city, civic and community associations, including the Chestnut Hill Community Association (CHCA), became an RCO.
I've talked to many of these associations, and one thing is clear. Chestnut Hill has a reputation for taking care of its community. It is considered to have the highest standards, to be almost a standard bearer. There are many Chestnut Hill organizations and individuals who have made this so, and chief among them has been the CHCA.
Community/civic associations play a necessary function within a community by providing a forum for addressing concerns, including development issues. Many people, understandably, choose to give this kind of discussion a wide berth, attending only when it involves something important to them. Thankfully, there are individuals who let their care outweigh the difficulty and are active in the community association so they can help address problems that can only be solved by people talking together.
In my 18 months as CHCA Community Manager, I've witnessed dozens of zoning review projects come through our process. I appreciate the skill employed in conducting the discussion, and admire the willingness of so many individuals who volunteer to listen to someone else's problem and try to find solutions. I don't always agree with the outcome, but I respect the process. These discussions take place within the development review committees and at the CHCA board.
The CHCA board is about to enter into its election season, with eight seats up for election. Some current members whose terms are expiring intend to run again. Others will be stepping down. A few additional seats are open due to vacancies. This is an opportunity for other community members to step forward, to take their turn.
Some of you may have been through our development review process and hold positive or negative opinions about your experience. I hope those with good opinions will want to help continue the good work, and that those with negative opinions will want to help make good change. There's room, indeed need, for all perspectives.
Chestnut Hill is fortunate to have a community association that is highly evolved and very strong. In addition to the development work, it serves in many other ways. Over the years, in conjunction with the Chestnut Hill Community Fund (CHCF), it has raised over $2,000,000 in its annual fund drive, proceeds of which have gone back out to support community organizations.
For 64 years it has held the Pastorius Park Concerts, free to all who come. It holds much-loved community events. It conducts discussion panels to inform the community. It publishes the Chestnut Hill Local, providing information for and about the community, and a forum for diverse opinions.
The CHCA offices are in Town Hall, a building owned, along with an endowment, by the CHCF. The Board of the CHCA approves the trustees of the CHCF. And who elects the CHCA Board? CHCA members.
Who are these members? People near and far who care about this community, and, hopefully, you. Please join the CHCA, join our committees, and if so moved, please consider running for the CHCA board. Nomination forms are due in the CHCA office by Friday, March 22, 2013.
Celeste Hardester is the CHCA Community Manager

Mom got pregnant naturally and is about to have an unusual number of babies
Australian mother Kim Tucci and her husband, already the parents of two little girls, decided to have one more child -- just one, and perhaps they'd add a boy to their family. They got their wish and a whole lot more. Against 60 million to one odds, Tucci is expecting quintuplets; four girls, and, finally, a boy.
Tucci posts regularly about her rare pregnancy on a Facebook page titled Surprised by Five, now with more than 168,000 followers. She details the struggle of having five infants growing within her, from waking up "a minimum of 12 times" each night to trying to eat 6,000 calories per day to constantly painful hips and joints. "It's getting harder as each day passes to push through the pain," Tucci wrote on January 17, nearing her 28th week of gestation. "No amount of pillows are helping support my back and belly. Sometimes I get so upset that I just want to throw my hands up and give in!"
She shares pregnancy-related photos, from ultrasound pictures to shots of five infant pajamas adorably arranged with teddy bears, all awaiting their owners.
Tucci also takes time to post about whooping cough. She advises her followers that "It has been reported that a Whooping cough outbreak in Western Australia is imminent! Please do your research and vaccinate." She includes a link to an awareness campaign recently begun by a local family who lost their infant to the respiratory disease, and describes how the entire Tucci family had recently received vaccines.
"Is it all worth it?" she writes. "Yes!!!! I will keep pushing through."

Hot dang, just my luck, I think I know the black and white Turbo 3 guy too. Is it an eleven meter kite?
When I first met these two guys, if they are the same ones, they were lucky that me and Max (Barrett) were rigging because they were about to launch the first time without any formal training. They were riding older kites at that time. We gave them a small tutorial and were safely able to to ride their first launch.
The kite that you posted from the kitewindsurf camera is a Link.
Update from my message above:
Turns out that the kiters mentioned above are different kiters, we don't know who they are. Our friend who rides a gray and white turbo diesel 3 11, spoke to the paramedics and told them he was not the guy they were looking for, I guess somebody pointed him out as a suspect and he had to clear his name.

In light of the arrest and subsequent charges brought against professional surfer Chris Ward ( San Clemente, Calif.), the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP), has launched an investigation into the allegedly criminal acts occurring in the early hours of Tuesday, Jan. 8th, 2007.
According to reports, Ward was arrested after an altercation with three females outside of a bar in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. Ward has since been charged with assault with a deadly weapon (other than a firearm), three counts of assault and battery and disturbing the peace.
The ASP recognizes the seriousness of the allegations and is treating the investigation as a high priority. However, given the pending criminal case on the matter, the ASP will await the outcome of that ruling prior to making any final determination.
According to ASP Rules & Disciplinary Committee Chairman Robert Gerard, "Any surfer who damages the image of the sporting body, no matter the place or location, is subject to suspension or expulsion from the ASP World Tour."
The ASP will release further information once its investigation is complete and the criminal case is resolved.

Visit all the areas of this site and change your mind! Open up to new possibilities regarding the uses of hypnosis.
Did you know that celebrities are using hypnosis? Ellen Degeneres, Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Billy Joel, Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson and Winona Ryder stopped smoking with hypnosis. Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld M.D. of Fox News Sunday on 9/21/08, stated that "Hypnosis has been found to be the MOST effective way to quit smoking" !! Kevin Costner used hypnosis to stop his sea sickness. Martha Stewart used hypnosis and stopped her nightmares of jail with hypnosis. Fergie has used hypnosis to deal with stress and Tiger Woods gains the mental edge and actress Lily Allen admits to using hypnosis to lose weight.
Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy is used for many issues. Of course, we use hypnosis or hypnotherapy for weight loss and losing weight naturally, and to quit smoking, however, there are many more areas where hypnosis can help your life. You can use hypnosis or hypnotherapy for stress reduction, pain management, increasing your immune system, infertility, cancer treatment support, insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, pre-operative and intraoperative procedures, speeding up healing, skin conditions, phobias of all types, anxiety, bed wetting, fertility issues and more. Since 1995 the National Institute of Health has strongly recommended hypnosis to treat insomnia ("Integration," 1995). For those with sleep apnea, hypnosis can be used to diminish the sensation of wearing the CPAP mask.
Medical Hypnosis is gaining credibility! The use of hypnosis is starting to be recognized, as complementary, within the medical field as a useful technique in the treatment of certain illnesses.
In 1996, an NIH Technology Assessment Panel confirmed hypnosis as an effective adjunct in alleviating pain. In July, 2001, Scientific American stated, "Though often denigrated as fakery or wishful thinking, hypnosis has been shown to be a real phenomenon with a variety of therapeutic uses especially in controlling pain."
The Wall Street Journal in the October 7th, 2003 issue stated, "Numerous scientific studies have emerged in recent years showing that the hypnotized mind can exert a real and powerful effect on the body."
In 2005, Harvard did a study regarding the use of pre-operative hypnosis to relieve anxiety and a similar study was done in 2007 at Mt. Sinai Hospital regarding the use of pre-operative hypnosis for breast biopsy patients in speeding up healing and reducing the amount of pain medication needed during and after surgery.
According to the Mayo Clinic:
"Who is hypnosis for?
Hypnotherapy has the potential to help relieve the symptoms of a wide variety of diseases and conditions. It can be used independently or along with other treatments. For example, it's one of several relaxation methods for treating chronic pain that has been approved by an independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health.
According to preliminary studies, hypnotherapy may be used to:
A survey of psychotherapy literature by psychologist Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D. revealed the following recovery rates:
Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions.Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions.Hypnotherapy:93% recovery after 6 sessions.

License Agreement - Academic Customers
This License Agreement is between THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS, INC., 1801 S. Bell Street, Arlington, VA 22202, and/or a wholly owned subsidiary of BNA including TAX MANAGEMENT INC., and BNA INTERNATIONAL, INC., referred to collectively as "BNA," and "Customer." This License Agreement shall apply to Customer's and each User's access to and/or use of any BNA electronic product.
Access to and/or any use of the Licensed Products will constitute acceptance of all terms and conditions contained herein. This License Agreement incorporates by reference all applicable Order Forms. For purposes of this Agreement, "Order Form" shall mean any agreement, invoice, purchase order, or subscription confirmation detailing the terms of Customer's subscription to one or more Licensed Product(s). If you do not agree with the terms and conditions stated herein, immediately contact BNA to discontinue access (Customer Relations, telephone: 1-800-372-1033, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). Renewal of any Subscription for any Licensed Product following any changes to this License Agreement will constitute acceptance of those changes.
1. License. BNA grants to Customer and each User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use the Licensed Products in accordance with this License Agreement. Customer is solely responsible for selecting, purchasing, installing and maintaining the hardware, equipment, and other software necessary to use the Licensed Products, and for access and similar charges incurred under third party information provider subscription agreements (e.g., Westlaw®, LexisNexis™). Customer agrees to keep the terms of any applicable Order Form strictly confidential and agrees to not disclose, either directly or indirectly, the terms of such Order Form.
2. Customer . A. The term "Customer" shall include all Users authorized to have access to the Licensed Products. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to each such User. If requested by BNA, Customer will identify to BNA, in writing, the names and addresses of each such User.
b. The term "Users" shall include full-time and part time, current, or visiting members of the faculty, library staff and currently enrolled students, who are permitted to access the Customer's secure computer network system ("Network"), regardless of physical location of such person(s). Authorized Users shall also include other persons, e.g., walk-ins, who are permitted to use the Customer's library and access the Network from computer terminals located on the library premises. If Customer is unable to limit access to Users (e.g., if its Network is integrated with the university's network), it will take any steps necessary to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
c. Customer shall notify all Users of the terms of this License Agreement through either a "Click-Through" license that appears online each time the Licensed Products are accessed, or other means that will notify Users that use is subject to the terms of this Agreement.
d. If applicable, the number of Users and/or locations must not exceed the maximum number of users and/locations specified on the Order Form.
3. Payment . At the beginning of the Subscription Term, BNA will send an invoice to Customer to one designated billing address. If Customer upgrades a Subscription (e.g., increases the number of maximum authorized Users), BNA will invoice Customer for additional Subscription Fees at the prices in effect at the time of the change, on a pro rated basis over the remainder of the current Subscription Term.
a. Within sixty (60) days after agreeing to a new Subscription, Customer must notify BNA of any existing BNA subscription that needs to be cancelled as a result of the new Subscription. If Customer gives timely notice, BNA will apply any payments made by Customer on the unfulfilled portion of the existing Subscription to amounts owed for the new Subscription.
b. All Subscription Fees listed on the Order Form are exclusive of any taxes and charges for replication, telecommunication, software, hardware, and other equipment. BNA is required by law to collect all state and local sales, use, and similar taxes that apply to a Customer's purchase. Unless the Customer provides BNA with a valid, complete, and signed tax exemption certificate applicable to the Licensed Product's ship-to locations, Customer is responsible for paying sales and all other taxes associated with the order. If applicable, a separate charge for these taxes will be shown on the invoice. Customer agrees to promptly pay such invoice.
c. All payments are due to BNA within thirty (30) days after the invoice date. After thirty (30) days, BNA will assess interest on all amounts reflected in the invoice at a rate of 1% per month. BNA may also immediately terminate access to the Licensed Products by Customer and Users without further notice if BNA does not receive payment within sixty (60) days after the invoice date.
4. Renewals. BNA reserves the right to revise its prices for renewal Subscriptions at any time and without notice. Customer's payment of any renewal invoice will constitute acceptance of the renewal price and the renewed Subscription, which will continue to be otherwise governed by this License Agreement (including any applicable Order Form). The conditions of payment described in section 3 shall apply to all payments of renewal invoices.
5. Copyright . The Licensed Products contain proprietary Content and/or Software of BNA that is protected by copyright and other laws respecting proprietary rights. The Licensed Products also may contain similarly protected licensed proprietary material of third party licensors. BNA and its licensors retain all rights in the Licensed Products, including (without limitation) all copyright and other proprietary rights worldwide in all media.

d. Customer and each User acknowledge that the Licensed Products (and the licensed materials contained therein) are highly proprietary in nature and that unauthorized copying, transfer or use may cause BNA or its licensors irreparable injury that cannot be adequately compensated for by means of monetary damages. Customer and each User agree that BNA may enforce any breach of this License Agreement by Customer or any User by means of equitable relief (including, but not limited to, injunctive relief) in addition to any other available rights and remedies. Unauthorized reproduction, transfer, and/or use may be a violation of criminal as well as civil law.

Scholarly Sharing. On an occasional basis, Users may transmit to a third party colleague in hard copy or electronically, minimal, insubstantial amounts of the Licensed Products for personal use or scholarly, educational, or scientific research or professional use but in no case for re-sale, broad distribution, or on a routine or systematic basis. In addition, Users have the right to use, with appropriate credit, figures, tables and brief excerpts from the Licensed Products in the User's own scientific, scholarly and educational works.

Customer agrees to fulfill such requests in compliance with Section 108 of the United States Copyright Law (17 USC § 108, "Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives") and clause 3 of the Guidelines for the Proviso of Subsection 108(g)(2) prepared by the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyright Works. Customer agrees to provide the copy in print form and not electronically.
7. Disclaimer of Professional Advice . The information provided through the Licensed Products is not a substitute for legal and other professional advice. Customer and/or each User should always consult his or her own legal or other professional advisors for legal or other professional advice.
8. Limitation of Liability .
a. While BNA and its Licensors attempt to include accurate and complete Content in the Licensed Products and error-free Software, occasional errors or omissions may occur in the Licensed Products. BNA will make reasonable efforts to correct these errors or omissions or cause the appropriate Licensor to correct these errors or omissions. NEVERTHELESS, NEITHER BNA NOR SUCH OTHER PARTIES can make ANY representation regarding the accuracy OR COMPLETENESS of THE CONTENT PROVIDED OR THE ERROR-FREE NATURE OF THE SOFTWARE PROVIDED. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE LICENSED PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED TO THE CUSTOMER AND USERS "AS IS." BNA, ITS LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS OF CONTENT AND SOFTWARE FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS MAKE NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. BNA, ITS LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS OF CONTENT AND SOFTWARE FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, PERFORMANCE, CURRENCY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR THE INFORMATION THEY CONTAIN OR THE METHOD OF DELIVERING THAT INFORMATION TO USERS.
b. In no event shall BNA or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents or representatives be liable to any User, any Customer, or any other Person for any special, indirect, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages or loss of goodwill in any way arising from or relating to this License Agreement or resulting FROM the use of or inability to use any Licensed product or the performance or non-performance of any obligations under this License Agreement, including the failure of essential purpose, even if such User, Customer, or other Person has been notified of the possibility of likelihood of such damages occurring. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of implied warranties or liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to all Customers or their respective Users.
c. IN NO EVENT MAY CUSTOMER OR ANY USER BRING ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST BNA MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.
d. IF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, BNA'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO CUSTOMER, ANY USER, OR ANY OTHER PERSON SHALL IN ANY EVENT NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR ANY LICENSED PRODUCT PURSUANT TO ANY APPLICABLE ORDER FORM.
e. To the extent allowed by applicable state law, Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold BNA and its licensors and suppliers harmless from and against any and all third party claims and losses arising out of or in any way related to any use of the Licensed Products, or of any content, data or documentation received through the Licensed Products by Customer or any of its Users, regardless of the form of action.
9. Subscription Term and Termination .
a. Except as otherwise provided, the subscription to each Licensed Product is non-cancelable and shall continue during the applicable Subscription Term; provided however, that this License Agreement or a subscription may be terminated for any of the following reasons: (a) By either BNA or the Customer, effective at the end of the Subscription Term, if the terminating party delivers to the other party written notice of its intent to terminate the applicable Order Form no less than 30 days before the last day of the Subscription Term; (b) immediately by BNA if BNA does not receive payment of any Subscription Fees within 60 days after the invoice date; (c) by either BNA or the Customer, upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches any provision of this License Agreement and the other party fails to remedy that breach within 30 days after such party gives written notice to the defaulting party of such breach; (d) immediately by BNA if BNA reasonably believes that the Customer or any User has engaged in activity that violates applicable law or any provision of this License Agreement; or (e) by either party if the other party has any proceedings instituted by or against it seeking relief, reorganization or arrangement under any laws relating to insolvency, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of any of its property or assets, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its business.
b. All obligations under this License Agreement when terminated shall survive termination with respect to any events occurred, or any money that was accrued and owing, prior to the effective date of any termination under this License Agreement.
10. Discontinuation of Publication . Occasionally BNA may discontinue a publication, or add/delete specific publications from a package of combined publications. Customers who have individual subscriptions to the discontinued publication (i.e., do not subscribe to a package of publications) will be offered a comparable publication, if available. If no comparable publication is available, or if Customer chooses not to accept the offer of a comparable publication, BNA will provide, at its option, either a pro rata credit against subsequent Subscription Fees, or a pro rata refund of the unused portion of the Subscription Fees paid for such discontinued publication. BNA also may occasionally change, suspend, or discontinue an aspect of the Licensed Products at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or content. In such case, BNA will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of such changes.
11. CD-ROM disks. To prevent inadvertent reliance on outdated information, each BNA CD-ROM is rendered inoperable after a certain period which may vary depending on the particular Licensed Product. Customer will receive appropriate updates according to the Licensed Product's publication schedule through the Subscription Term.
12. Notices . Notice under this Agreement shall be made in writing; sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, U.S. Express Mail or private express or mailgram service, or by telefacsimile, or by email (with receipt specifically confirmed via telephone); effective upon receipt at the address stated below; and addressed as follows, unless the sending party is notified in writing of a change of address, in which event notice shall be sent to the new address: If to BNA, to 1801 S. Bell Street, Arlington, VA 22202, Attn: General Counsel. If to Customer, to the address included on the applicable Order Form.
13. Miscellaneous Provisions .
a. Force Majeure. BNA shall not be liable for failure to perform any part of this License Agreement where such failure is due to fire, flood, power outages, strikes, labor troubles or other industrial disturbances, inevitable accidents, war (declared or undeclared), acts of terror, commercially unreasonable hostile acts by a Third Party with respect to the Licensed Products (including a denial of service attack), embargoes, blockages, legal restrictions, governmental regulations or orders, riots, insurrections, or any cause beyond the control of such party. However, BNA shall use diligent efforts to resume performance. This License Agreement shall not be regarded as terminated or frustrated as a result of such failure of performance that does not exceed six (6) months, and the parties shall proceed under this License Agreement when the causes of such non-performance have ceased or have been eliminated.
b. No Waiver. Should BNA or any Customer fail to exercise or enforce any provision of this License Agreement or to waive any rights in respect thereto, such waiver or failure shall not be construed as constituting a continuing waiver or waiver of any other right.
c. Choice of Law. This License Agreement shall for all purposes be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the District of Columbia without regard to its choice-of-law rules, unless otherwise provided under applicable state law, in which case this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Customer's state .
d. Entire Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in any applicable Order Form, this License Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between each Customer and BNA, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, discussions, agreements, and understandings of any kind, with respect to the subject matter of this License Agreement.
e. Severability. If any provision of this License Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable, the parties shall renegotiate those provisions in good faith to be valid, enforceable substitute provisions, which provisions shall reflect as closely as possible the intent of the original provisions of this License Agreement. If the parties fail to negotiate a substitute provision, this License Agreement will continue in full force and effect without that provision and will be interpreted to reflect the original intent of the parties.
f. Third Party Beneficiaries. All beneficial rights (other than the right to collect fees) granted to or reserved in this License Agreement by BNA, including limitations of liability, warranty disclaimers, confidentiality, ownership, limitation of damages, and indemnification for third party claims, shall accrue to and are for the benefit of Licensors to the same extent as BNA. Except as expressly stated therein, nothing contained in this License Agreement is intended to create third party beneficiaries thereof or thereunder.
g Each Party Acting Independently. BNA and each Customer agree that, for purposes of any applicable Order Form, each is acting independently of the other, that they are not joint venturers, and that neither is an agent, partner or joint venturer of the other.
h. Amendment and Assignment. Neither this License Agreement nor any Order Form shall be changed, modified or amended except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of BNA and the Customer. No Customer may assign this License Agreement or any rights or obligations created under this License Agreement without the prior written consent of BNA.
i. Headings and Cross-References. The headings in this License Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. All references to Sections or headings shall be deemed references to such parts of this License Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require.

I have been looking for the right verb to use with the noun trust, but I FAILED.
Can anyone help me?
Mom fully trusts and supports me. I remember the day I got my driving license, she said: "Take my car and go for a drive." I used this trust and went for a friend's visit.
It does a bit, but that's the only answer I could come up with, too, apart from 'respected' and 'appreciated', which don't really work in the sense you're looking for, Eman.J.T.

Now I've really gone and done it!!!
Just when I thought I was recovered I've injured myself again. And this time its worse than last time. Serves me right for taking it lightly and not resting myself enough. This time it's my left leg and yes this time it is my hamstring. So we've had to call off the schedule, with the climax incomplete. I am so mad with myself!!!
Unfortunately it's hurting much more than last time and I am on pain killers which I don't normally use.
Not interesting enough did I say last time? Well serves me right.
Few comments on this, besides again, a wish and a prayer for a speedy recovery. He really should stop jumping around on thermacole :o)
And to add some value to the post, check out the following rare video (thanks to an Aamirian in Russia) of the Filmfare Awards of 1989, showcasing Aamir Khan and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). And how cool is it to see Amitabh Bachchan handing one?! Well worth a watch.

{{Warning|MoBlock's development has been stopped in favor of Phoenix Labs' official [[PeerGuardian Linux]] (pgl). Parts of its code have been merged in pgl.}}
Revision as of 23:25, 8 August 2013
MoBlock is a IP blocking daemon that uses iptables. MoBlock is also unofficial PeerGuardian Linux client that is very useful in filtering malicous peers on P2P networks.
First you need moblockAUR package from AUR. If you want GUI, install the blockcontrolAUR (dependency for GUI) and mobloquerAUR (moblock GUI written using Qt).
Setting up
Open the /etc/moblock/config file with your favourite editor.
I recommend disabling filtering HTTP connections, so find
and add
http https to it. It will looks like: ]
WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https"
In this file you can also customize what lists MoBlock will use for filtering, but is best to keep the defaults (MoBlock will filter about 99% bad connections, but will not be too paranoid).
If you are behind NAT, add this to config:
That will whitelist everything from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255.
Now run moblock-update to update the lists.
Note: If you get an error like this when doing a /etc/rc.d/moblock start:
iptables v1.4.8: iprange: Bad value for "--dst-range" option: "10.0.1.0/24"
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
Try using a range instead, so WHITE_IP_IN="10.0.1.0-10.0.1.255"
Starting up
After configuration just run
# /etc/rc.d/moblock start
This is it! If you decide that moblock must run everytime you boot up, just add word moblock to your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf
If you use MSN for instant messaging, you'll need to add port 1863 to the whitelist:
WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https 1863"

Taylor Swift's 'Mean' to Be Covered on 'Glee'
'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that a cast recording of Taylor Swift's 'Mean' will appear on the May 15 episode called 'Props.' He made the announcement on Tuesday during the 'Glee' cast's screening and panel at the TV Academy.
Murphy said Dot-Marie Jones and Mark Salling — Coach Beiste and Puck — will sing the tune, which Swift wrote about an unnecessarily harsh critic. Though Swift has hung out with 'Glee' cast members and even attended Dianna Agron's birthday party last week, this will be the first time the country-pop superstar's music has been featured on the show.
Swift performed 'Mean' at the Grammy Awards this year. The song from her 'Speak Now' album hit No. 11 on the pop chart.
The 'Props' episode of 'Glee' is the one where characters swap roles and play the parts of other cast members. Chris Colfer and Corey Monteith are trading places in the episode. Colfer explained, "It's kind of like a switch in your mind. You see yourself in a different mirror, and then you go for it!"

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve: when walking the new Gibraltar Peak Trail or along the original fire trail on the way to Gibraltar Rocks, take a small detour to the Xanthorrhoea Loop Track where you will come across some grass trees or Xanthorrhoea australis for a more techo name. A nice view of Tidbinbilla Range can also be had from here.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

Cable lock-out device
Designed for use in tough industrial environments, the all-purpose cable lock-out device lets users choose from two different cable types. The device comes with 0.05-in. non-conductive nylon cable to lock out disconnect switches and other electrical control points, and 0.188-in. rust-resistant sheathed metal cable to lock out large valves and other mechanical energy controls. It can accommodate as many as four locks, and a built-in loop keeps the loose end of the coil from dangling.

Heat guns
Available in three models, the Heat Elite series heat guns feature responsive controls, double-insulated power cords, and non-slip handles. The basic model has two temperature settings — 660°F and 930°F — and a two-step on/off temperature and airflow control switch. The Pro model has a stepless temperature adjustment dial that enables a variable temperature range from 180°F to 1,020°F and a two-step on/off temperature and airflow control switch. And the Plus model comes with an LCD digital terminal that independently controls its temperature and airflow and features seven preset application functions that allow the user to automatically configure settings.

Generator self-test verifier
Designed to evaluate and report the results of backup electrical generators, the Generator Self-Test Verifier checks that a generator has started, that its voltage is within a ±10% tolerance window, and that it has continued to operate for a minimum of two minutes. Mounted to the transfer switch, the device can monitor all possible voltages and phase configurations and requires 120VAC power. In the event of a test failure, it sounds an alarm and either closes a set of contacts or directly reports the failure to a central monitoring agency via telephone line or wireless connection when used with an optional reporting module.

Fiber optic converter system
Measuring 22.5 mm wide, PSI-MOS fiber optic converters allow complete isolation of Interbus, Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet, CANopen, RS-232, and other RS-485 networks by converting the electrical copper-based signals to glass or polymer fiber technology. The converters feature onboard diagnostics that offer detailed information about the signal quality on the fiber optic path and monitor the copper and fiber optic bus lines for prohibitively long dominant bit level (18-bit). They also have fiber optic line monitoring and bus segment disconnect in the event of a failure to prevent the transmission of corrupted data packages into neighboring bus segments.

We just got tipped to a great deal on Apple's current generation MacBook Air via The Verge.
Best Buy has Apple's thin and light MacBook Air laptop for $200 off. The sale is good today and tomorrow.
That cuts down the price of the entry-level 11-inch MacBook Air to $799.
This is obviously while supplies last, so don't sit on this one for too long if you need a new laptop.

Good afternoon, concerned Finslippy readers! I am sorry that I frightened all of you, especially the Effexor users among you, with my tales of woe. By the next day I felt better than I have in months. But did I write about that? No, I just did a smug little dance and I headed out the door. How could I stay in when I felt so good? What if it didn't last?
In other news, Henry is honing his comic technique. The ultimate in funny, right now, is to approach me and announce, "I thought you were a [made-up word here]." For instance:
"I thought you were a shnerb." Raucous laughter ensues. He repeats the word a few times. And laughs some more.
"What's a shnerb?" I ask. More laughter. He can't get enough of it!
"A shnerb is a sort of funny bug. A funny bug that eats people."
Repeat this nine or ten times in an afternoon, and it just gets funnier! No matter what the word is, it always means "funny bug that eats people." Sometimes it's a funny bug that eats fire people. I'm not sure where he got this idea. For once, I can't blame it on Star Wars.
I told him I didn't think a people-eating bug would be funny, exactly. Not because I'm concerned that he might seek out and befriend an enormous killer insect; just because I was bored and wanted to see where this would go. But nothing's less funny than analyzing your own joke, as we all know, so he got sort of pissy with me and spat, "I don't want to talk about that." Which I think was sort of unfair, frankly, because didn't he just accuse me of being one of these deadly bugs? Shouldn't I have the right to find out more about them?
And now, my favorite neologism ever:
Henry is walking on the curb, as it is where the snow is located. He looks up and exclaims, "The snow is all plandering under my boots!"
"What is plandering?" I ask him.
"Plandering means when it planders. When the snow is all plandery."
That's my boy.

Oct. 7 Davey Johnson postgame interview
Q. What did you feel like was behind Gio's control problems today?
DAVEY JOHNSON: Well, we talked about it early, and I said a couple of times he's tested me where he threw 50 pitches the first two innings and settled down. This was a real test on a big stage. I resisted the temptation, I was about one hitter away from getting Stammen ready, and he got out of it and pitched pretty good until he got a little wild there at the end.
Q. What did you feel like was behind Gio's control problems today?
DAVEY JOHNSON: Well, we talked about it early, and I said a couple of times he's tested me where he threw 50 pitches the first two innings and settled down. This was a real test on a big stage. I resisted the temptation, I was about one hitter away from getting Stammen ready, and he got out of it and pitched pretty good until he got a little wild there at the end.
But he kept us in there, and that's what your ace does.
Q. Can you talk about how pivotal the 7th inning is, or was, for you guys in terms of what it meant to get out of that inning with no runs and then come right back in the 8th and score the two?
DAVEY JOHNSON: Well, actually, I've been second‑guessing myself there, because I should have got to Matthews one hitter earlier, but I got him up after one hitter got on. And then he was ready for Holliday. I have a lot of confidence in Stammen. He's also my lucky horseshoe pitcher. If I leave him in there, we usually score two the next inning. But so is Matthews. But Holliday, I looked to him and I said, we need a couple groundballs here to get out of this, and he did it.
Q. This game played out a lot like some of the April games, especially opening day, coming down to the chess match, hitter/pitcher matchup except you went the extra leg with putting Tyler Moore in there. Take us through that whole setup.
DAVEY JOHNSON: I actually did not think that Mike was going to get Boggs. But I told Tracy when he went up there, if he takes him out and brings in Rzepczynski or whatever his name is, I'm hitting Moore. And he didn't, so I hit Moore. I'd rather have the veteran player in that situation than a rookie. But rookies have been having success all year. They have been doing a heck of a job, and Moore has got some big hits for us, as he did tonight.
Q. That's what I wanted to ask you. Can you speak to the job Moore has done, just as a part‑time player, as a kid putting up the numbers he has?
DAVEY JOHNSON: He's been fabulous. Him, Harper; Moore was always a first baseman. And when Morse went down I had to play him in the outfield, and actually, had a problem hitting right‑handed and made it easy for me to platoon, and Moore did a heck of a job. He launched some ballgames with his bat and played good defense, both of them did. And that was a strength with the injury to Morse and Werth and those guys, Harper. Those guys have been great. That's been their strength.
Q. You're not really a small ball guy, can you take us into the thinking behind bunting with Espinosa?
DAVEY JOHNSON: I think Danny, after he struck out three times in a row, put the go‑ahead run in scoring position. To go ahead was big. I don't like to bunt. I'm kind of from the Earl Weaver school; just keep swinging.
Don't like to steal that much, either. I don't like to give up outs. But that's a situation where I felt like if I get one runner in scoring position, and Danny did a terrific job, perfect bunt. Actually I thought about running Edwin Jackson to third, but I didn't want to put Edwin in that situation if there was a bang‑bang play at home and lose my third game starter. But he was ready.
Just something that once we got him over there, somebody get a hit and we go ahead.
Q. Was the safety squeeze on?
DAVEY JOHNSON: No, just get the guy over. But if I had a little better runner at third we could score on the play. Almost threw it away, anyway.
Q. If I can take you again back to the 8th, you said you were a little bit surprised that Mike brought in Rzepczynski in that situation.
DAVEY JOHNSON: You know, I track him, and he usually leaves it to Boggs. So I thought that he would probably leave Boggs in there. But I told Tracy if he makes a change, and I knew Rzepczynski was getting hot, I'm going to Moore.
Q. Were you contemplating that it might end up being Motte versus Werth in that scenario?
DAVEY JOHNSON: I didn't think Motte was warming up at that point.
Q. With two outs in the 8th inning he was at that point.
DAVEY JOHNSON: I don't know who was warming up, but I know the left‑hander was warming up and Boggs has usually been 8th inning guy, so I was not really concerned. I thought that I had the upper hand because I was going to control the matchup, no matter what it was. If he brings Motte in, he's going to face my best pinch‑hitter in Tracy. I'm comfortable with that.
Q. What do you like best about Moore's approach about the plate generally through the season?
DAVEY JOHNSON: I mean, he's got a great stroke. He's short through the ball. He's got a great future. He's done ‑‑ all of my young guys have done a great job, out of position and not in a regular role. For (phonetic‑indiscernible) who hit about .275 and this guy hit .260, Moore hit .260 with ten home runs. I mean, that's unbelievable, for young guys in different roles defensively, they have had great years.
Q. Is that a pretty tough job for a rookie?
DAVEY JOHNSON: Oh, my goodness. It's one thing if you're playing your normal position, because you're used to that. But it's another thing when you're worried about being a defensive liability and still having to be productive offensively. That's been our success this year. These guys have done a great job filling in.
Q. Talking about experience levels, what did you think of Ian Desmond's first post‑season game?
DAVEY JOHNSON: Ian Desmond is one heck of a player. For me, I mean, I would have to vote for Adam LaRoche to be the MVP, but it's a toss‑up with Ian Desmond, the things he's done. Got a lot of big hits, gifted defensively. I mean, he's been outstanding. I can't say enough about Ian. Kind of put him under my wing. He's been a fun project from two or three years ago when I was a consultant. He asked me one time, who in the heck is ‑‑ I forget who it was ‑‑ Kevin Mitchell.
I said, Kevin Mitchell was a third baseman that ended up playing short, the outfield, had 350 at‑bats ‑‑ I told him, you're a shortstop. Don't think like you're another player. You guys have probably heard that story.

Posted by Scott Howard-Cooper
OKLAHOMA CITY — Commissioner David Stern, fed up with issuing fines for continued "corrosive" comments about referees, drew a bold line in the sand Thursday and said he will begin suspending coaches and players for postseason games if the criticisms continue.
Speaking in even tones but clearly out of patience after a stream of financial disciplines, Stern was direct and sending a strong signal in response to a question about two fines levied against Lakers coach Phil Jackson in the playoffs for trying to work referees with statements to the media.
"I wish I had it to do all over again and, starting 20 years ago, I'd be suspending Phil and Pat Riley for all the games they play in the media," Stern said in a press conference at the Ford Center moments before Game 3 of the Lakers-Thunder series. "You guys know that our referees go out there and knock themselves out to do the best job they can, but we've got coaches who will do whatever takes to work them publicly. And what that does is erode fan confidence and then you get some of the situations that we have.
"So our coaches should be quiet, because this is a good business that makes them good livings and supports a lot of families. And if they don't like it, they should go get a job someplace else. I don't mean to be too subtle. [Laughter] And I think that Phil's a great coach. He's a friend of many years. I just came by and said, 'Hi.' And he said, 'I don't like you today.' I said, 'I like you.' But it's corrosive. It's corrosive.
"Because of the pressure cooker that is the NBA playoffs, over the years I've let it go. But when you hear the Chicago coach [Jackson] say, 'Oh, this game was lost because NBC wants an extra game,' you hear a New York coach [Riley] say, 'Well, you know, what are you gonna do? Jordan gets all the calls,' it sounds like a lot of fun, etcetera. Or you hear a Stan Van Gundy do what he wants to say and then the players join.
"We know, inside the community, what it's meant to do. So, OK, it's playoff time, everyone's crazy. Back off. But if I had to do it again, I wouldn't. I would stop it and the price wouldn't be a modest $35,000 fine. It would be whatever a day's pay is, and then two days pay, and then a week's pay. And if someone wants to try me the rest of this playoffs, make my day. The game is too important and I don't think that the people who trash it are respecting it, and we'll do what we have to do.
"Players and coaches alike. They give the impression to our fans that referees somehow have an agenda. Yeah, they have an agenda – to knock themselves out to give the best calls that they can give, and then to send their checks home to their mothers and give the rest to charity."
