(August 7, 2012)—More than 150 Parent Teacher Association (PTA) leaders representing 41 states, Washington, D.C., and Department of Defense schools in Europe will head to the White House on Friday, August 10th for a day-long briefing with top Administration officials to discuss challenges facing our nation's schools and communities. PTA will tackle topics such as the potential impact of sequestration on public education, implementation of Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA) Flexibility, family engagement in education, school nutrition, student health and safety, and more. Top White House and Department of Education officials will engage in open dialogue with PTA volunteers from the local, state, and national levels in an effort to glean valuable insights from the nation's parents and families. "National PTA is honored that the White House and U.S. Department of Education are opening their doors in recognition of the often unsung efforts of more than five million PTA members across the country. Today's PTA makes a difference everywhere, from the playground to the White House. We're thankful for this opportunity and look forward to open dialogue on how to improve the lives of every child and family." said National PTA President Betsy Landers. During the day's events, 12 PTA members will be honored as White House Champions of Change for their dedication to improving educational equity and opportunity for all children through involvement in PTA. These parents, teachers, and community members are exemplary PTA volunteers who have dedicated time, talent and a powerful voice to improving educational equity and opportunity for every child through meaningful family engagement in education. "President Obama knows how important parent involvement is in education, and we are excited to welcome PTA leaders who are setting such great examples in their communities to the White House," said Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President. "The PTA Champions of Change we are honoring have collaborated with school administrators and community leaders, launched innovative advocacy campaigns, and worked tirelessly to grow their local PTAs to involve more parents in their children's education." To connect with PTA members around the country, Director of the Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Munoz with participate in a live "Open for Questions" event moderated by National PTA President Betsy Landers. The PTA is soliciting questions from their members about child advocacy and education and also on Twitter with the hashtag #WHPTA. Watch the events live and learn more at WhiteHouse.gov/Champions.

Today, Facebook seems like the juggernaut crushing everything in its path, most recently Twitter's Vine app and Yandex's social app. And in its last quarter, Facebook's mobile usage surpassed its web usage – for the first time ever.
This is important because Facebook has now begun competing not just at the social network level, but also at the operating system level. And the company turns nine today so it will have even more mobile influence by its 10th anniversary: Just look at the rapid expansion of its App Center and SDK developer tools for iOS.
This means we won't just have competing platforms, but platforms built on top of other platforms. And that, as you'll see, changes the game altogether.
The Platform Games ——————
On multi-sided platforms like Facebook – and Amazon, Apple, Google, Twitter, etc. – value is created through the interactions between affiliated users, developers, and advertisers.
Facebook and these other companies want to control API access and critical user information because it's that data which unlocks monetization opportunities. Hence the recent API roadkill among all the platform companies: Besides Vine and Yandex, witness Instagram/Facebook blocking features on Twitter (and vice versa); Twitter itself blocking a number of companies; and even Google's and Apple's skirmishes over maps.
Yet underneath this competition and desire for API control, there has always been a lot of cooperation. All of the players are dependent – no, interdependent – on each other. A better and more usable Facebook iPhone app, for example, surely increases iPhone sales for Apple; Apple would see no advantage in blocking that.
But the game changes as Facebook becomes really popular on mobile. At that point, Facebook's multi-sided platform for developers and users ends up on top of another multi-sided platform: the underlying iOS and Android mobile phone operating systems. This isn't just an interesting market configuration – it has tangible implications as Facebook's platform starts substituting value away from Apple and Google. Who will control the data generated by the apps then?
It's about to get ugly, and we don't know What Would Facebook Do (WWFD).
And we have to think about it, because Facebook is arguably the most ambitious platform of them all – the fabric of the web is changed because of it. Users and developers depend on it; there aren't any viable alternatives looming on the horizon, let alone a clear Facebook killer. How many businesses rely on Facebook access to thrive? How many sites require Facebook Connect for user logins? You can't even login to some sites if you don't have a Facebook account.
Predicting what will happen in these "platform Hunger Games" isn't just an academic exercise. Understanding WWFD has important implications for everything from privacy and security and user choice to where the internet economy is going.
What Will Facebook Do? A Lesson from Japan__ __ ———————————————–
We're in uncharted territory here since platforms-on-top-of-platform configurations are relatively new.
Yet we do have one related industry example that could shed some light on this case, and on WWFD. It's one of Japan's leading mobile social game developers: GREE.
GREE makes up to four times more average revenue per user (ARPU) than Zynga, and it made $222 million net income in 2011 compared to Zynga's loss of $500 million the same year. For users, GREE provides the ability to build profiles, compare scores from various games, and accumulate and spend virtual currency. For third-party mobile game developers, GREE provides the highly specialized gaming APIs they don't get from Apple or Google.
There are other platforms built on top of platforms, and other mobile social game developers, but GREE provides a particularly apt analogy because its platform connects third-party mobile social game developers with users on top of iOS and Android devices. Exactly.
Much like the way Facebook builds rich user profiles and enables the Connect ecosystem, GREE allows developers to cross-sell their games to its registered users as well as access analytics features. In return for these platform services, GREE charges developers 15 to 30 percent of their net revenues. So a third-party developer of a native iPhone game app based on GREE's platform would pay $30 to Apple and $10-$21 to GREE for every $100 earned in the bottom line.
Seems like a win-win for everyone. But the problem arises when GREE's APIs make it cheaper for developers to port their games between Android and iOS. By reducing developers' costs – "multi-homing costs" in economic terms – of supporting both platforms, GREE makes it easier to have the same games on both operating systems.
In other words: GREE makes it difficult for users to differentiate between the two operating systems.
Not good for Apple or Google. Neither is the fact that GREE controls users' gaming data and has a virtual currency of its own that can be used across all games built on its platform. These features are cutting into iOS's and Android's profits.
GREE thus provides a preview into what might happen when Facebook becomes stronger on smartphones. So what would Facebook do? Well, it could provide specialized API functionalities like those provided by GREE for *its *developers and users, not to mention leverage its own virtual currency: Facebook Credits.
And Facebook has far more reach than GREE. Given that social applications, and particularly games, are the most popular and highest revenue generators of all mobile applications – a Facebook multi-sided platform similar to GREE would* *divert *a lot *of value away from Apple's and Google's smartphone platforms.
Facebook isn't alone in considering such a platform on top of a (smartphone) platform. The same is true for Twitter, LinkedIn, and others. Amazon's Game Circle now contains an extension of Amazon's Appstore, which distributes applications on Android devices. And in an interesting twist, Google+ has already released a development kit for third-party developers of iOS apps.
We don't know who will win the platform games as the API battles are just beginning. But it's going to get ugly: Facebook commands access over 1 billion users and thousands of application developers … their soldiers in this war.

A fascinating aspect of the two dimensional
world is the possible existence of anyons, particles which obey 'fractional'
statistics different from fermionic and bosonic statistics. In this colloquium,
following an introduction to fractional particles in the context of quantum
Hall systems, some of the tantalizing experiments for detecting the fractional
charge of these particles will be described.
Probes of fractional statistics in these systems will be discussed,
drawing from analogies with the bosonic behavior of light studied by Hanbury
Brown and Twiss in the 1950's as well as in the more recent beam-splitter
settings in quantum optics. Finally, the exciting prospect of detecting
fractional statistics in the context of superconductors will be explored.

We've all seen the "BPA-free" labels affixed prominently to new plastic products. And many of us have fallen for the ruse, purchasing these new water bottles and food storage containers thinking we can still enjoy the convenience of plastics without the hormone-altering BPA. But what manufacturers are using in place of BPA might not be any safer. It's known as 'BPS' and as a matter of fact, it could be even worse.
Bisphenol-A (BPA) has made headlines over the past several years for the growing awareness of its dangers. Namely, it mimics estrogen in the body, throwing hormones out of whack. Although the United States and Europe have banned BPA in baby bottles, Canada remains the only country that has officially declared BPA as a "toxic substance." Because of this, many people have smartly begun shunning plastics, opting for glass or metal, or choosing the new slick and expensive drinking bottles labeled "BPA-free".
There is little information available on BPS at this point. Scientific research is lacking, and because there is little to say that it's bad for you, manufacturers don't have to worry (yet) about the repercussions of putting it in their products and selling it to unknowing consumers.
According to the Environmental Science and Technology, BPS is actually of a "comparable potency" to BPA. Also, it is "less biodegradable, and more heat-stable and photo-resistant" than its predecessor BPA. What does this mean? Well, it has the same estrogen-mimicking qualities and it doesn't degrade as quickly as BPA, so it can stick around in your body for longer periods of time.
This isn't a new practice—skirting public fears by playing on their ignorance. Plastic manufacturers know that the information about BPS is still in an infancy stage. They know they can get a few good years off of this "BPA-free" label craze before science catches up with them. So, in the meantime, they will keep selling you their new supposedly-safer products and probably even sell them at a higher price!
The bottom line is that we don't know everything that is now being included in plastics. They are likely an "alphabet soup of toxic chemicals," according to Mercola. Even canned goods are lined with BPA. Your best bet is to stick with glass whenever possible for food storage, drinking water, and microwaving (if you still do that).

One of the principle stresses for some individuals when voyaging is financing the trek itself. Spending arranging can leave the window spontaneously or an exceptional treat, and in case you're on a merited occasion, why not sprinkle out every so often, the length of it doesn't burn up all available resources?
One of the main things to perceive in Barcelona is the money is the Euro, which is as of now getting a charge out of a solid period in contrast with the US Dollar or the English Pound Sterling, for instance. So gone are the times of figuring "pretty much one and a half" to treat yourself – consider it equivalent, and after that you won't recover an unexpected home with your bank explanations! Paying in real money is acknowledged all over, and for sure certain foundations won't acknowledge any type of card installment because of the high bank charges the seller needs to cause. It's shrewd to dependably convey some money with you for the basic necessities you may require on a day out touring, yet as with any remote city, don't convey it all! Your settlement will have a safe in your room or at gathering, or in case you're remaining in a self-providing food occasion flat for instance, then guarantee you bolt away everything similarly as you would at home.
Backpedaling to the specify of cards, American Express Cards are not as broadly acknowledged as Visa and MasterCards, so in case you're a voyager whose wallet is generally just Amex, you might need to get some information about taking out a Visa or MasterCard as a go down. Continuously keep cards partitioned, as well, and don't bring everything out with you in your wallet. In case you're sufficiently appalling to lose one or if a bank machine swallows your card, you have the go down.
Many places in Barcelona will request a photograph recognizable proof when paying for merchandise – even with the new chip and stick cards, give that broadly, it's ordinary to demonstrate your national character card to distinguish yourself and the mark is once in a while examined as in different nations. On the off chance that you would prefer not to bear your travel permit as photograph distinguishing proof, make a photocopy of it already, and keep that with you on days you need to encounter the colossal Barcelona shopping!
Another notice when paying with a Mastercard: a few foundations will offer you the chance to pay for any merchandise in your own particular money, so in the event that they perceive the card as a UK based bank, they may inquire as to whether you need to pay in pounds. This regularly sounds more worthy, as you probably are aware your own cash superior to Euros, and feel that this will stay away from any charges of the swapping scale, and so forth. Be that as it may, the sellers can apply their own particular conversion scale to the machine, and this is quite often higher than the current distributed rate, and a shrewdness route for them to get the customer to pay for their bank bonuses. On the off chance that you end up in this circumstance, dependably decrease considerately – it's ideal to know you have paid an indistinguishable sum from it says on the ticket than a pumped up trade cost.
ATM or trade machines are bottomless out the city, yet outside clients are frequently charged for taking out money – once by their own bank and some of the time by the Spanish bank, as well. Check before you travel if your own bank has any "sister" branches with a more great swapping scale – this frequently is the situation. Furthermore, attempt and spending plan for the end of the week or week as opposed to taking out little sums each day – and along these lines causing more charges – pull back a bigger sum so you are just charged once. Even better, guarantee you have changed cash before you arrive, and utilize your cards just as a move down. Explorers checks can help along these lines, yet are not generally acknowledged as installment and it can be a bother finding a place to change them out of managing an account hours which won't charge a strong commission, so this can frequently be a false economy.

While all eyes were on A-Rod's successful flip of his swanky West Side penthouse, former Yankees catcher Jorge Posada flew under the real estate radar, and to very little fan fare, recently listed his full-floor condo on the Upper East Side. Well, judging by the steep $11.5 million list price, Posada and his wife Laura are hoping for a pay day just as lucrative as A-Rod's.
Posada, who announced his retirement just a few days ago, is said to have combined two impressive condo units into one, buying the last portion of what is now his full-floor apartment for $3.6 million in 2007. The all-star catcher's digs boast 5,600 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and some very swanky walk-in closets. Unlike Jonathan Papelbon's Boston crib, which features an array of Red Sox memorabilia, Posada's home is totally on par with the posh Upper East Side without a trace of any Yankee collectibles.
While Posada's sweet crib certainly seems like it has it all, including an ideal location at The Seville, a 31-story, full-service condo tower, the one thing that is missing is the much coveted outdoor terrace. And, with an asking price of $11.5 million, we can only suspect that the list price may soon dwindle, just like his batting average did in his last season in the big leagues.

Robert Cray
Anointed the primary savior of the blues by the mainstream press, guitarist Robert Cray had the looks, the voice, and the guitar chops to do the trick. The Beatles were Robert's original inspiration for taking up the guitar in fifth grade, but he got hip to Albert Collins (who played at his high school graduation!), O.V. Wright, and a plethora of other blues and soul greats, greatly impacting his musical maturation.
"That comes from listening to a lot of different kinds of music, and being a big fan of R&B singers and gospel singers," says the Stratocaster-wielding Cray. "I'm not torn between the two, but I enjoy the two."
Born August 1, 1953 in Columbus, Georgia, Cray was an Army brat who grew up all over the country before his family settled in Tacoma, Washington in 1968. Cray and bassist Richard Cousins put together a band in '74 and backed up Collins before going on their own. Producer Bruce Bromberg caught the young band, co-fronted by harpist/vocalist Curtis Salgado, in San Francisco at the 1977 NAIRD Convention.
"They're going along and they're playing these songs, and it's kind of cool because it's some soul stuff, not what most blues bands were doing in those days," says Bromberg. "All the covers were fairly obscure. And then Robert sang a couple. He was playing a Gibson in those days. The first album was made on a Gibson, not on a Strat. He sang like two songs, and my bell rang, man. I said, 'Oh, man!'" Work soon began on Cray's debut album 'Who's Been Talkin',' which came out on the Tomato label in 1980. "They didn't really have any originals. I think Curtis had like one song. I told 'em, 'You ain't gonna get anywhere singing other peoples' songs,'" says Bromberg. "I flew Robert down for a few days, tried to write some songs with him, and then cut him with some local guys." Salgado shared vocal duties on the set.
Tomato soon folded, and the Robert Cray Band's head-turning 1983 encore album 'Bad Influence' was released on Bromberg and Larry Sloven's fledgling HighTone label. Only two covers this time with a set of uniformly great originals, and Salgado was gone so Cray sang them all. "We didn't have any money," says Bromberg, who co-produced with Dennis Walker. "Their road manager had some money, and he loaned us money to do the first sessions. They would come in off the road, and we'd just take 'em to some little room and cut the stuff pretty much live." 'False Accusations,' their next HighTone set in 1985, kept momentum building.
With the 1986 emergence of Cray's 'Strong Persuader' album on Mercury rather than HighTone (major label acceptance at last), Cray embraced mainstream stardom, fueled by regular play on MTV (Cray's handsome visage was as easy on the eyes as his pop-accessible blues/soul hybrid was on the ears). "'Strong Persuader' just took off; sold like 100,000 in two weeks," says Bromberg. The set was cut in Los Angeles, Bromberg and Walker producing and the band now made up of Cray, Cousins, keyboardist Peter Boe, and drummer David Olson, bolstered by the Memphis Horns. The smoldering Smoking Gun, penned by Cray, Cousins, and Bromberg, was a #22 pop hit in early '87, and 'Strong Persuader' sold platinum and won a Grammy. Now the Robert Cray Band was selling out concert halls.
"It was real scary," laughs Cray. "Because coming out of the clubs, everything started happening really quickly, when the 'Strong Persuader' thing came out. We were kind of like, 'What the hell is going on here?'" Cray hasn't let up since. He remains one of the idiom's top-selling artists. He and Bromberg long ago parted ways, but his ex-producer sees Cray as more than a sexy, soulful singer. "I still think he never gets credit for being as great a guitar player as he is," says Bromberg. "Whatever we did, it was a new sound at the time."

Sharon Rogers: 40 Years and Counting
We would like to pay tribute to Sharon Rogers, one of four hospital employees who have been with us for 40 years — since the hospital opened.
A life-long resident of Lexington County, Sharon joined Lexington Medical Center because she wanted to work in her own county.
"Many nurses and medical staff at the old Columbia Hospital were eager for the hospital to open so they could work where they lived," she said.
Forty years ago, Sharon began working as a charge nurse on the surgical unit and then opened the first surgical intensive care unit. However, she has spent most of her career as the night shift supervisor, overseeing the entire facility at night.
"When the hospital first opened, it had only four floors. But, no matter how much the hospital has grown, we are still patient focused and family focused. We care for our patients and each other," she said.
She and her husband Charles have two daughters and four grandchildren.
This month, Lexington Medical Center celebrates its 40th anniversary. We opened as a small county hospital on January 6, 1971. Today, we've grown into a modern medical complex with state-of-the-art technology and an unsurpassed culture of caring. Each day this month, we'll share a story from our hospital's history book.

When we purchased our house the prior owners told us the cherry tree in the backyard was their anniversary tree. Since we left our anniversary tree at our South Minneapolis house, we felt it was OK to adopt this one as our own.
The first year, we didn't really know if the cherries were edible or not. As it turns out, they are, and are quite sought after.
There are about 2 weeks of prime harvesting in which we spend 10-15 minutes each night picking the ripe cherries. This year, the girls wanted to help, so why not use the child labor!
Big girls on daddy's ladder
Sylvia pointing out which ones to pick
Violet got one!
She is very happy with her harvest.
Around this time was Sylvia's birthday. Since we don't all get together at the same time, it allows for her to spread out her celebrations. Thank you Grandpa & Grandma Cabin and Auntie Missy for the great gifts!
We also had our 3 year and 6 year wellness visits for the girls. All is well and the stats are as follows:
Weight - 40# 4oz (24th percentile)
Height - 41 5/8" (3rd percentile)
BMI - 16.3 (76th percentile)
Weight - 31# 8oz (59th percentile)
Height - 35 1/2" (13th percentile)
BMI - 17.7 (91st percentile)
How long will it take for Violet to weigh more than her sister?

It is to me... Look at the righthand side 10k resistor shown on your PCB above: it's connected to ground. Now look at the 1M one, lefthand side. It's grounded too. But there are actually two path to go from one resistor to the other (on top of your ground loop, or on the bottom). Not really star-groundesque, right? Opening it somehow would solve this.

Massive blaze in SW Houston kills 4 firefighters
13 others are injured
What started as a small restaurant fire - a bit of business faced daily by firefighters everywhere - turned into a motel- engulfing inferno that claimed the lives of four responders from the Houston Fire Department when part of the building collapsed on them Friday. It was the department's worst loss of life ever.
"We arrived on the scene and about 14 minutes after our arrival we had a mayday," HFD Chief Terry Garrison said.
In an instant or close to it, a group of firefighters who had put themselves in deliberate jeopardy out of concern that people might be trapped inside the Southwest Inn were buried in burning debris. The precise series of events is at the heart of an investigation to be led by ATF specialists, who arrived at the scene later in the day. But the gist of it was clear in seconds.
"We had an early and quick catastrophic failure of the roof," Garrison said. "There's no way that I would have anticipated that we would lose four firefighters. I want to tell the residents of Houston their firefighters acted absolutely courageously today, that there was probably a dozen acts of heroism on that scene."
Across the city people were shocked by news of the loss. In addition to the dead, 13 other firefighters were taken to local hospitals with injuries. One was in critical condition.
"There is nothing that will heal the hurt we all feel," said a shaken Mayor Annise Parker.
All from two stations

Grieving on Twitter: Prayers go out
HoustonChronicle.com: Union chief makes promise
Friday's fire was the latest horrific incident in what has become a spring of mayhem - from the Boston Marathon bombing to the fertilizer plant explosion in Central Texas to the devastating tornados in Oklahoma. Only once before have as many as three Houston firefighters been killed in one day, in a fluke accident in 1929 when a fire engine was hit by a train.
Friday's dead were from stations 68 and 51 and included a 12-year-veteran and a recent graduate from the fire academy. They left behind spouses, children and parents, all to wonder how so many could have been taken so quickly.
Those killed fighting the fire were:
Capt. EMT Matthew Renaud, 35, of Station 51.
Engineer Operator EMT Robert Bebee, 41, of Station 51.
Firefighter EMT Robert Garner, 29, of Station 68.
Probationary Firefighter Anne Sullivan, 24, of Station 68.
Garrison, stunned, vowed that something would come from his department's darkest hour besides grief and tears.
"We will improve," the chief said. "We will get better. We will learn from this, and we will keep on keepin' on."
The fire was reported at 12:09 as the lunch crowd was sitting down at Bhojan Restaurant, a vegetarian Indian cafe attached to the hotel. The front desk clerk at Southwest Inn, Martha Lopez, said a restaurant employee ran into the hotel saying that a fire had started. The two began knocking on doors and windows, telling guests to get out of the hotel, which can accommodate 100 guests and had 45 registered at the time of the fire.
Sammy Sewell, 29, had been staying at the hotel for six months. He said he stepped out of his room and heard yelling. He turned a corner, saw three women screaming and running toward him down a hallway, and then heard three blasts.
"Next thing you know, it was 'boom!' It scared the crap out of me," Sewell said. "I mean, it sounded like a cannon going off. That's how loud it was. I could have sworn it picked this building up and put it back down."
It was unclear what sparked the blaze. An ATF task force will lead in the investigation.
One of the owners of the restaurant, Pratima Mathuria, said she was running errands at the time of the fire and had no knowledge of how it may have started.
"We don't have any idea yet," she said. "All the people there came out OK. There were people eating at the time, but they got out and the employees got out. We are in such a shock. It's a big loss."
Eatery cited in past
The restaurant, which leased its building, has been cited by city inspectors in the past, most recently in March, for grease traps that had not been cleaned as often as required. But it is not known whether Friday's blaze started as a grease fire. Bhojan's Facebook page expressed condolences to the firefighters' families and said the owners will help authorities in any way possible to determine a cause.
Though details were sketchy on the progress of the fire as it spread into the hotel, the firefighters were killed when a section of roof and wall collapsed. Canyon said he believed the roof fell after fire weakened its support structure, though the precise position of the four who died was unclear.
"The roof collapsed," Canyon said. "I don't know if that was folks outside next to the structure or inside when it collapsed (who died), but the collapse is going to be the cause."
Guests bolt to safety
Hotel guest Deric Smith, shocked to see the hotel on fire when she returned from filling out an apartment application, wondered whether those who died were the same ones he saw on a portion of roof spraying water on other parts of the building.
"All I could see was the roof caving in and all the fire just shooting up," Smith said. "When the roof caved in, I knew something had to have happened to those firemen."
Guest Natasha Mosley was in her room with her five children when someone banged on the door to warn her about the fire. They bolted out, not bothering with any of their possessions. As they left, they saw the firefighters working hard above them.
"A big fireball shot up and all of a sudden they weren't there," Mosley said. "They came here to try and help us and get us out. But they ended up losing their lives. It's very sad."
Department officials said the firefighters who died likely were inside the building when the roof gave way. One who was in the room where the firefighters were found described it as looking like a "war zone." When they first got there, the fire was manageable enough to try to attack from the inside, he said.
Chief Garrison said firefighters could not be as cautious as they can with some structure fires because of the fear that employees or hotel guests might have been trapped inside.
"We took the highest amount of risk possible because we thought we had civilians in the structure," Garrison said. "I want to reassure the citizens of the city of Houston that our firefighters acted appropriately. We place ourselves between the fire and the victim, and that only way we can do that, if we think there's a saveable victim, is from the inside. The structure collapsed and our members who were trying to save lives were lost. "
The bodies of the fallen firefighters were at last removed to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Science. Awaiting them were about 20 fire department vehicles, ambulances and fire trucks with lights flashing.
More than a dozen motorcycle officers with the Houston Police Department stood shoulder to shoulder nearby.
Plea for prayers
Among the fire department officials there was Executive Assistant Chief Rick Flanagan.
"This is the worst day of my entire life. I could never fathom losing four comrades in one day," Flanagan said. "And we've got a couple of days ahead of us with some tough times. To the public, please keep us in your prayers."
The bodies will remain at the facility until they are delivered to funeral homes in a few days. An honor guard will stand beside them the entire time, until the they are laid to rest.
'A calculated risk'
One of the last HFD officials to leave the institute Friday evening was Richard Mann, executive assistant chief of emergency operations, who was among about two dozen firefighters at the medical examiner's office. Like the others, he left with a long face and exhausted gait, still wearing his filthy fireproof pants.
His fellow firefighters had been lost because they took an aggressive approach, Mann said, explaining that it's what they are trained to do when there is a possibility of people trapped inside a burning building.
"They were serving the citizens of Houston," Mann said. They took a calculated risk to save lives. In the end, they lost theirs."
Mike Glenn, Cindy George, Dane Schiller, Ericka Mellon, Carol Christian, Anita Hassan and Robert Stanton contributed to this report.

Surgeon David King crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon safely before the bombs exploded there. But when he rushed to work in the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital soon after, he realized this was no mere accidental explosion that had torn through a crowd.
He began with the Boston Marathon, crossing the finish line in three hours and 12 minutes. Afterwords, the Massachusetts General Hospital surgeon checked his cell phone. The first texts were the usual ones from friends watching his progress online.
"Telling me things like, you know, 'Good race,' 'Strong race,' or some sarcastic friends saying, 'You're so slow,' 'Loser,' 'Go faster,' you know," he told NECN with a smile.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
But then new texts started pouring in.
"People asking me confusing things like, 'Are you okay?' 'Heard something went wrong,' and then somewhere in there, somebody put 'I heard there was an explosion,'" he recalled.
Dr. King didn't know about the bombings, since he'd finished an hour earlier, but something told this trauma surgeon to rush to work at Massachusetts General Hospital.
What Dr. King saw in the E.R. told him everything.
"It's a pattern, a set of injury characteristics that I've seen hundreds and hundreds of times before while deployed in the military, and I knew that it wasn't a kitchen fire or some kind of a terrible accident, that it was clearly some kind of improvised explosive device," he said.
Dr. King served as an Army surgeon during multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"When it comes to your own country, it's particularly disturbing, your own state more so, your own city certainly, but there's something very personal about when it happens to your own marathon," he said.
That's when the second marathon began, this time as a surgeon. Dr. King and the rest of the trauma team operated on 15 bombing patients, and didn't stop for 30 hours straight. As those long hours were a blur, Dr. King can hardly believe the one year anniversary is already here.
"You can at look at anybody who got injured and they have a story to tell, and that's what this year's reflection should be about. It should be about them and their stories and their journeys," Dr. King said.
A journey for the survivors and the city that Dr. King spoke of three days after the bombing during a news conference.
"We will rise from the ashes and we will be stronger," Dr. King said April 18.
"I think it's somewhat uncanny that I used those words, and particularly that word about 'strong' because the whole Boston Strong thing really hadn't emerged at that point yet. It's clear that I wasn't the only one thinking that," he said in his interview with NECN.
Dr. King will be running again in this year's race in honor of his patients.
"If those stories of recovery won't make you run faster, I don't know what will," he said.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - "Thor: The Dark World" continued its box-office reign with $38.5 million in its second week, holding off "The Best Man Holiday," according to studio estimates Sunday.
Opening nearly 15 years after the original "The Best Man," ''The Best Man Holiday" opened strongly with $30.6 million. The Universal film, which drew an overwhelmingly female and African-American audience, was an unlikely challenger for Disney's "Thor."
But Marvel's Norse god has hammered audiences around the globe. It has now made $479.8 million worldwide, already besting the original "Thor."
The box-office window will soon close for "Thor," though. Opening Friday is "Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which is expected to be one of the year's biggest debuts.

Television cooking star Rachael Ray is boosting the local food supply for a struggling Ohio town.
On Saturday, Ray brought a Wilmington soup kitchen new appliances, shelves and furniture. Ray's show also promised to supply food for the kitchen for the next year.
The soup kitchen is getting as many customers in a day as it did in a week a year ago.
Wilmington is still reeling from the departure of DHL Express and other Wilmington Air Park operations, which has left a 15 percent local unemployment rate in its wake.
On Sunday, the Food Network star hosted an early Thanksgiving feast for the community. The soup kitchen improvements and the Thanksgiving meal are scheduled to be featured on "The Rachael Ray Show" on Nov. 25.

A List Called London
'London Calling' has a special place in my vinyl collection, so I was interested to see why journalists Roberta Bosco and Stefano Caldana had recycled the name for their representative list of 16 web sites by London-based artists. Originally presented as "Invisible London" in 2001 at the Sonar festival, 'London Calling' provides updated links to the artists' current works. You can peruse the diverse list at SonarOnline, where it's followed by an interview with Bosco and Caldana. They explain that they chose the name of an album that defined an era because their list aims to define another era, and they dedicate their 'London Calling' to the late Joe Strummer. They also draw parallels between punk's journey from grassroots revolution to corporate exploitation, and net.art's evolution. Who knows what Joe would think of that ... - Helen Varley Jamieson
Obelisks Need Not Apply
Whether it?s Maya Lin's Vietnam Veterans? Memorial, Richard Serra's Tilted Arc, or the Berlin Wall, both monuments and anti-monuments can easily become loaded markers in broader ideological and cultural conflicts. SF Camerawork is currently seeking works for Monument Recall, a project highlighting work that challenges dominant notions of the monument. The project will be multi-faceted, featuring a physical exhibition, published journal, multimedia CD-ROM and a web-based display of Improbable Monuments -- digital proposals for monuments not likely to be realized. The deadline for submissions is August 29, with the exhibition scheduled for Fall 2004. For more information, contact Paula Levine (firstname.lastname@example.com)--Ryan Griffis
meandbillybob.com is somewhere between a fan site, a meditation on mediation, and an attempt to rewrite oneself into an ideal world that doesn't exist. Artist Jillian Mcdonald has superimposed herself opposite actor Billy Bob Thornton in several short scenes from his various films. The scenes are in slow motion and an intimate country ballad (written and performed by Billy Bob himself) provides their soundtrack. The site lacks an artist statement, inviting the casual visitor to mistake Mcdonald for a delusional Thornton fanatic. Far from being cynical and campy, the overall effect is unexpectedly sad and poignant. - Curt Cloninger

Staying in to Play
Sometimes it's more fun to be indoors. That's what UK-based artist John Paul Bichard wants us to believe with 'Staying in to Play,' a first-person 3D environment for mental contemplation and exploring altered states. With a 90-day development cycle (ongoing until June 28) from start to finish, the spaces inside -- which include long White Stripes-inspired red hallways with moving text, mountainous terrain, and floating amorphous rooms -- are both calming and pseudo-representational. Visitors can move freely, float, or teleport to different world locations or try out a cool 'anti-matter' beam to propel them into mid-air. On the physical side, Bichard's created a downloadable PDF 'skybox' of the landscape that can be printed out and folded into a nice accompaniment for your mouse. -Jonah Brucker-Cohen
Art and Science On the Go
There have been many momentous developments in global economics, transnational mobility and information technology during the last several years, so it's not surprising that artists have been compelled to respond and reflect upon them. This year, the 50th Venice Biennale will include an ongoing project called Makrolab that was begun by Slovenian artist Marko Peljhan in 1994. Makrolab, which will be situated on Campalto Island in Venice Lagoon from June through September, is a working laboratory powered by solar and wind-based energy that facilitates research into the intersections of technology, ecology, and communication. Some of the areas of study include: network-centric identities; non-linear data display and usage; local ecology awareness. Makrolab is scheduled to operate in its mobile form until 2007, when it will be permanently sited in the Antarctic and run by a transnational organization. -Ryan Griffis

This module provides various helpful utilities for dealing with lists.
Written by John Goerzen, firstname.lastname@example.com
Merge two sorted lists into a single, sorted whole.
merge [1,3,5] [1,2,4,6] -> [1,1,2,3,4,5,6]
QuickCheck test property:
prop_merge xs ys = merge (sort xs) (sort ys) == sort (xs ++ ys) where types = xs :: [Int]
Merge two sorted lists using into a single, sorted whole, allowing the programmer to specify the comparison function.
QuickCheck test property:
prop_mergeBy xs ys = mergeBy cmp (sortBy cmp xs) (sortBy cmp ys) == sortBy cmp (xs ++ ys) where types = xs :: [ (Int, Int) ] cmp (x1,_) (x2,_) = compare x1 x2
Returns true if the given list starts with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isPrefixOf.)
startswith "He" "Hello" -> True
Returns true if the given list ends with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isSuffixOf.)
endswith "lo" "Hello" -> True
Returns true if the given parameter is a sublist of the given list; false otherwise.
contains "Haskell" "I really like Haskell." -> True contains "Haskell" "OCaml is great." -> False
This function was submitted to GHC and was applied as isInfixOf. This function therefore is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
|Association List Utilities
|These functions are designed to augment the association list functions in Data.List and provide an interface similar to Data.FiniteMap or Data.Map for association lists.
|Adds the specified (key, value) pair to the given list, removing any existing pair with the same key already present.
|Removes all (key, value) pairs from the given list where the key matches the given one.
|Flips an association list. Converts (key1, val), (key2, val) pairs to (val, [key1, key2]).
Returns the keys that comprise the (key, value) pairs of the given AL.
Same as:
map fst
Returns the values the comprise the (key, value) pairs of the given AL.
Same as:
map snd
|Indicates whether or not the given key is in the AL.
|Association List Conversions
Converts an association list to a string. The string will have one pair per line, with the key and value both represented as a Haskell string.
This function is designed to work with [(String, String)] association lists, but may work with other types as well.
The inverse of strFromAL, this function reads a string and outputs the appropriate association list.
Like strFromAL, this is designed to work with [(String, String)] association lists but may also work with other objects with simple representations.
Given a delimiter and a list (or string), split into components.
split "," "foo,bar,,baz," -> ["foo", "bar", "", "baz", ""]
split "ba" ",foo,bar,,baz," -> [",foo,","r,,","z,"]
Given a delimiter and a list of items (or strings), join the items by using the delimiter.
join "|" ["foo", "bar", "baz"] -> "foo|bar|baz"
Given a list and a replacement list, replaces each occurance of the search list with the replacement list in the operation list.
replace "," "." "127,0,0,1" -> "127.0.0.1"
This could logically be thought of as:
replace old new l = join new . split old $ l
Like join, but works with a list of anything showable, converting it to a String.
genericJoin ", " [1, 2, 3, 4] -> "1, 2, 3, 4" genericJoin "|" ["foo", "bar", "baz"] -> "\"foo\"|\"bar\"|\"baz\""
|Similar to Data.List.takeWhile, takes elements while the func is true. The function is given the remainder of the list to examine.
|Similar to Data.List.dropWhile, drops elements while the func is true. The function is given the remainder of the list to examine.
Similar to Data.List.span, but performs the test on the entire remaining list instead of just one element.
spanList p xs is the same as (takeWhileList p xs, dropWhileList p xs)
|Similar to Data.List.break, but performs the test on the entire remaining list instead of just one element.
|Advanced Conversions
This is an enhanced version of the concatMap or map functions in Data.List.
Unlike those functions, this one:
The function used by wholeMap, of type WholeFunc, is repeatedly called with the input list. The function returns three things: the function to call for the next iteration (if any), what remains of the input list, and the list of output elements generated during this iteration. The return value of wholeMap is the concatenation of the output element lists from all iterations.
Processing stops when the remaining input list is empty. An example of a WholeFunc is fixedWidth.
A parser designed to process fixed-width input fields. Use it with wholeMap.
The Int list passed to this function is the list of the field widths desired from the input. The result is a list of those widths, if possible. If any of the input remains after processing this list, it is added on as the final element in the result list. If the input is less than the sum of the requested widths, then the result list will be short the appropriate number of elements, and its final element may be shorter than requested.
wholeMap (fixedWidth [1, 2, 3]) "1234567890" --> ["1","23","456","7890"] wholeMap (fixedWidth (repeat 2)) "123456789" --> ["12","34","56","78","9"] wholeMap (fixedWidth []) "123456789" --> ["123456789"] wholeMap (fixedWidth [5, 3, 6, 1]) "Hello, This is a test." --> ["Hello",", T","his is"," ","a test."]
|Fixed-Width and State Monad Utilities
Helps you pick out fixed-width components from a list.
conv :: String -> (String,String) conv = runState $ do f3 <- grab 3 n2 <- grab 2 return $ f3 ++ "," ++ n2 main = print $ conv "TestIng"
|Returns a count of the number of times the given element occured in the given list.
|Returns the rightmost index of the given element in the given list.
|Like elemRIndex, but returns -1 if there is nothing found.
|Forces the evaluation of the entire list.
Similar to Data.List.elemIndex. Instead of looking for one element in a list, this function looks for the first occurance of a sublist in the list, and returns the index of the first element of that occurance. If there is no such list, returns Nothing.
If the list to look for is the empty list, will return Just 0 regardless of the content of the list to search.
subIndex "foo" "asdfoobar" -> Just 3 subIndex "foo" [] -> Nothing subIndex "" [] -> Just 0 subIndex "" "asdf" -> Just 0 subIndex "test" "asdftestbartest" -> Just 4 subIndex [(1::Int), 2] [0, 5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 4] -> Just 4
Given a list, returns a new list with all duplicate elements removed. For example:
uniq "Mississippi" -> "Misp"
You should not rely on this function necessarily preserving order, though the current implementation happens to.
This function is not compatible with infinite lists.

Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, foot wear, or accessories. Fashion references to anything that is the current trend in look and dress up of a person. The prevailing style in behavior as well. The more technical term, costume, has become so linked in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more general term "costume" has in popular use mostly been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing generally, and the study of it. For a broad cross-cultural look at clothing and its place in society, refer to the entries for clothing, costume, and fabrics

'Russia Occupies Significant Part of Georgia' – Saakashvili
Saakashvili said in a televised address:
• The army should struggle to the end;
• We will never surrender;
• Georgian forces are re-grouping;
Russia took over control of the major highway passing through Gori and "separated the country's western part from the east," President Saakashvili said at a session of National Security Council at 8:45pm on August 11.
It was earlier reported that the Russian forces were in control of Gori. The Russian Defense Ministry, however, has denied that its forces were in Gori, Interfax news agency report at 9:15pm.
Russian forces also advanced deep into the Georgian territory from breakaway Abkhazia as well, taking control of Senaki and are now moving further into east. "Situation is extremely grave," Saakashvili said. "This is occupation attempt, attempt to totally occupy Georgia, attempt to destroy Georgia."
"Russia's goal is to put an end to existence of the Georgian state," he added.

It's obvious that Saakashvili is Liar. Do not trust politicans and journalists. If you do want to know real facts then go to Ossetia and stop stop eating the shit from tv.

Half Georgia is not occupied. What happened in Gori was that a rumour went around that the Russians were on their way and the troops shit their loads and fled. The Georgians are now trying to save face by saying that the city is occupied when all reports indicate that it isn't.
The Senaki airbase which was occupied earlier today has now been abandoned by the Russians who have withdrawn out of Georgia into Abkhasia on that front.
- August 11, 2008 at 1:35 PM
The end is comming for Mr Saakashvili! Its time to commit suicide! Otherwise it would be hard to justify the sensless deths of hundreeds of poor georgian soldiers! Geordians! You should be happy to get rid of tis idiot who turned your country into war!
Russian friend of georgian people.
- August 11, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Yeah right, the entire Western World condemns Russia. I think the "saving face" issue looms larger for the Putin regime, which has lost all credibility after this agression.

Dear Exile,
the fact that Russia today occupied GOri is proved by their websites. Though I would also prefer that this was just a rumour.
Let's everyone take care of our idiots.
Out idiot (even if he is) is not you business and you don't have to worry about that.
I also hope that all this at least serve as a sacrifice to whos the whole wirld the real face of Russia.

Dear Katiee! Everyone has seen the video how mr. saakashvili cowardly run from one single sound of fight to save his life! After that has this person the right to start war? To ruin Tshinvali? To send to death dosens of your tank crews, burned alive in their tanks by osetians? Why one third of your nation live not in georgia, but elswere (much of them I see everyday in the streets of Moscow)? Why then do you defend him? Im sorry, but you are a victim of your propoganda, payed by americans.

Recent events has finally proven several things to me. First is that UN is no longer an adequate or useful for the world. Not being able to express their opinion for so long and failing to do whatsoever, the security council is full of old, useless men, who care more about their lunch than the lives of poor people of South Osetia or Georgia. After Darfour, I hoped they learned valuable lesson, but unfortunately, they broke my hopes. Second truth I saw was that Saakashvilli is not a president, he is a lying, deceiving, monstrous pet-dog of Bush Government, who wouldn't stop before anything (even the murder of his own people), just to prove his loyalty to Mrs.Rice (and his utter stupidity to the adequate world). The amount of lies he told and promises he broke already disqualifies him as person and as a Man, he is definitely not a president, but rather a self-centered dictator with a severe case of schizophrenia. Poor citizens of Georgia are now thrown into the havoc, not knowing what is happening and being forced to mobilize and evacuate. The other thing I understood was that BBC, CNN and other mass media giants are not just bias, they are fully controlled by their governments and the information they give us is nothing but propaganda, aiming to deceive and create the false opinion. Shame on them and their journalists, who failed to provide world the true facts. My understanding of the actual events come from my phone calls to friends in the region and some independent sources such as nregion.com and similar websites.
The attack of the Georgian special forces was prepared by Saakashvili and U.S Government for a long time. The day - the beginning of Olympics was not coincidental. Mr.Putin is in Beijing and Mr.Medvedev is on vacation, this was supposed to gain Georgian army more time as the reaction will be delayed. Same night, just prior to the beginning of attack, many Georgian families were called and told by their recruitment authorities, that the mobilization is due, and the reason they gave was - The 8 days of compulsory training. All men from 18 to 40 had to be present in the recruitment centers before 10 a.m the morning the war began. This information I gathered from mothers of some boys, who had to abandon their summer practices in Universities.
Russian army did not launch any military response to the attack until several hours after Georgian forces were already rampaging in South Osetia, executing peaceful people in the villages and killing peace keepers. Russian government to the very last moment tried to reason with the moron Saakashvili, but their efforts were hopeless from the very beginning. The monster has made his move, starting ethnic cleansing ansd genocide (commanding to use Thor and Grad rocket artillery systems to destroy the civilian areas of Tschinvali and other villages killing close to 2000 civilians, definitely qualifies for the use of such terms)
Just the day before he swore that the negotiations will continue, but to such a person there is nothing sacred. Even the evacuation corridor the Georgian government promised for people of Tschinvali between 15:00 and 18:00 the same day, has turned out as a trap aimed to finish off any survivors.
The gap between the attack and military response from the Russian peace keepers force proves that all of Saakashvili's announcements are pure lies. The plan was quite well-thought of, but the monster made several mistakes in carrying it out. The blame, which is supposed to be put on Russia won't stick as after the realization of the FACTS I just exposed, even the U.S Government will have to admit that Russia is actually the only force, which helped and protected the people of South Osetia from complete elimination on their homeland. The question is how long will it take them and how many lives of innocent people of Georgia and South Osetia will be ruined, before the monster Saakashvili is stopped. And even after that what will be lost in this WAR is not only lives, but the fragile trust between Georgians and Osetians, which took Russia more than 15 years to built. Lets all pray the War ends soon and for you to never have to experience anything like this.
- August 11, 2008 at 5:47 PM
If one looks at the Russian situation, one response is clear: the immediate blockade of Cuba. As with the Cold War, one sees that the United States will not go to war directly with Russia over a satellite proxy. Therefore, as an appropriate response to the Russian attack on an ally of the United States in the Russian sphere of influence, it becomes essential that the United States re-exert its dominance over its own sphere.
A few weeks ago, you remember that Russia was going to resume the shipment of arms to Cuba, so it seems like an appropriate response to their aggression against Georgia. With Congress in recess and Bush not up for reelection, there is very little political fallout possible, and the gains of such an exertion on our own power should help to deter future incursions against the allies of the United States in the Russian sphere. (Note that an attack on the Ukraine may provoke a much larger war).
One has to wonder about the "why" of Russian aggression. Aside from being a complete affront to the world (i.e. Putin sitting at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics whilst Russian tanks rolled into Georgia), this may be an attempt to, first, intimidate western Europe into submitting to Russian economic dominance (i.e the trans-Ukrainian pipeline), or second, to create dissent in deeply divided nations, like the Ukraine into starting civil wars, allowing for Russian "peacekeepers" to extend their reach into Western Europe.
It remains essential that the United States take immediate action in its own sphere to combat the aggression against Georgia. Thus, the blockade of Cuba seems to be the most expedient way for the United States to express its disdain for the aggression of Russia.
Just a suggestion.

Dearest ANDREW!!!
what do you want? Saakashvili to be standing unders the bombs without FEAR???
We NEED our PRESIDENT ALIVE!!! He does not have a right to DIE! We even demand from him to wear permanently the IRON HAT when walking in such dangerous places, as GORI (and almost all places of Georgia today)
Your Medvedev can walk under the bolmbin Planes without FEAR, we'll appresiate.
BUT I don't even want to argue with such a person as you.
Your last sentence about yourself - "citizen of USSR" already explaines everything.
You're still in those times, unfortunately, you can not realize that its already 21st centrury and those SWEET times of will never be back!

My prayers go to the Georgian people. I hope the Russian Government comes to its senses. I wish I could do something more than wish from afar.
I fear that the faith in any kind of meaningful response (anything beyond words) out of the American Administration of George Bush is misplaced. It makes me ashamed to be an American.
- August 11, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Dear Kariee!
But to live comfortly in your country you shouldnt kill hundreeds of civilians in osetia - for what you should agree you are in total response - and everything will be ok. But you elected the military criminal, started the war, killed hudreed of osetian peaople, burned a city togather with a dosen of yuor own tanks - and now you want peace? no. now you will get the operation of capturing your criminal president, and that to my mind is very fair!
- August 11, 2008 at 7:47 PM
and more - if you dare to start war - take the responsibility but not write miserably like ""let us live"
- August 11, 2008 at 7:56 PM
This is all happening because Georgia always agrees to a pullout, ceasefire and peace. Georgia is always getting fooled. You should have stayed in SO no matter what. You should have laid waste to the entire territory and to all invaders.
Even now Saakashvili acts foolish. Instead of full mobilization, he calls a peace demonstration.
- August 11, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Alcinoe. And about demonstartion to support innocent Osetian children killed by Saakashvili bombings?
Katee. We - Russians and Georgians lived together long time before Bush and Saakashvili. Why should we stop living together now? Why Georgians can't have their business now in Russia?
BTW. Why did'nt you posted my recent comment? Still support democracy?

This message comes from a long way away. I am sure that many people here are concerned for the people of Georgia and South Ossetia.
Our prayers are with you.
Let's hope and pray that with G-d's help the various "leaders" in the region come to their senses and resolve this conflict peacefully. No more innocent people should die. What a terrible juxtaposition to see the wonderful and heartwarming Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and then to see such terrible pictures coming out of the Caucasus.
Wake up world "leaders" ! This is the year 2008. We are meant to be going somewhere.

I want to answer Andrew, who subscribed as a citizen of the USSR. First of all,i want to tell you dear Andrew,that Georgian people are in such situation because we don't want to live in the USSR you like so much,we want our independent Georgia and this is the fact Russia can't believe and doesn't want to believe. As for Saakashvili running to save his life,believe me,he is brave enough not to be scared by the sound of bomb,it's a norman human reaction,i would like to see Putin or Medvedev in such situation. I don't defent Saakashvili, he has made lots of mistakes and it is georgian peoples' problem that we have such good or bad president. We at least elected him unlike russians,where people don't have the right to elect president,like last 2 of russian presidents.As for andrew's concern that he didn't like the comment"let us live", yes Andrew,let us live please,we haven't started the war,Russia started the war and we had to defent our territory,because South Osetia and Abkhasia are OUR part and not russian. And the fact that russian tanks entered almost the whole territory of Georgia is nothing but the action which a normal person can't even imagine in 21 th century.Russians only study princiles of international law in their universities but they forget to apply them in practise.

- August 24, 2008 at 7:27 AM
However loudly the supporters of Saakashvilli cry, the fact is that he started this whole thing. This adventurism has cost Georgia deraly. Now he is presiding over a country minus two large provinces which he can sey good bye forever. The Georgians should kick him out. There are millions of Georgians making a living in Russia. He should have thought of them and the finance sthey are sending to their families back home.
Only an idiot will try to pick up a fight with a neighbour as large as Russia.
If he thought the Americans would send in their airborne division and the sixth fleet in support, he was a real fool.
Neither Europe nor US will go to fight over Georgia which has nothing to offer either by way of strategic importance, it is just a backward country with hills and a peaceful people who want to go about their daily lives rather than follow this fool into an uncertain future.
In any case the whole affair will be forgotten and Europeans will be dealing with the Russian as usual.
As for Saakashvilli's burning desire to take his impverished country into the EU one wonders if anybody(except the new East European members) wants to welcome him.
As for the Georgians themselves, tehy are as much European as the Turks.
- September 11, 2008 at 3:23 AM
to ANONIMOUS above me:
I'm am Georgian and I will reply to as a Georgian, on behalf on many others who think like me:
I am Georgian, I am from Caucasus, I am not European, and I am not Asian.
I don't care about being EU citizen or about being NATO MS citizen.
I want to live in peaceful country called Georgia with normal relations with other countries of the World, without any interventions from Russian, US, EU or Asian side, for me it's almost the same.
I definitely know that this war was started by Russian side, by provocation maybe by mistake of Saakashvili, not a long time is needed to reveal most important things and to judge the one who made the first mistake in Georgia and led the country into such a trouble.
But on the other hand the other reality is that whoever the president of georgia is, georgians will never give up of struggling with even such a huge and powerful neighbour as Russia.
You may not know our history, but we know and this was permanent reality of my country - to fight against big invadors, to lose, to resist, to survive.
And last comment to the first sentence you wrote:
I am not and we are NOT supporters of Saakashvili, We are SUPPORTERS of GEORGIA and in this regards we will support our President in any case in International field.
We will shout until the other big countries make something against the brutality towards my country.
And we will JUDGE (if we consider it to be necessary) everyone who deserved it!
- September 11, 2008 at 5:21 AM
Dear Georgian,
I'm Russian, and like you, I don't care if you are european, asian, or whatever. I respect Georgians as before. The only question I have for you: how do you mix your wish "...I want to live in peaceful country called Georgia..." with killing 10-s or 100-s people?? Nobody denies now that Georgia started the war. Could you explain you image of "being peaceful"? How many people the peaceful person can kill still remaining peaceful?
- September 14, 2008 at 7:55 AM

Dear anonymous before me (Sept.14, 7:55)
I will reply to you with a caunter-question:
Can you provide any evidence how many people (osetians) diesd before Russias reaction to Georgian "aggression" ???
I tried to find such evidence on Russian web-sites but even they did not provide any.
Why did Russia (and Osetians as well) let Georgian police and troops go inside Osetia-controlled territories and even in Tskinvali and only then Russian troops started to REACT???
Do you think that Russians needed the whole day for making a decision and sending soldiers for this reaction?
I don't think so...
Consequently here are the logical conclusions and answers to your questions:
Who started the war? - Russia - by provocation planned long time before...
p.s. Thank you for liking Georgians. Though I hope this sympathy is different from what Putin usually expressed towards Georgia in words and did another in reality...
- September 14, 2008 at 10:31 AM
I am that anonymous (actually, I wrote my name).
First of all, before asking counter question, it would be nice to answer my question.
No, I can not provide such an evidence, and I do not think you can provide them. The truth is, nobody (even you) denies now that Georgian troops started this. How this makes Russia "agressor", can you explain me?? I really do not understand this: everybody agrees Georgia started the war, but Russia is agressor! Am I missing something?
About "reaction". Do you think a day to react is too long? Do you really think it is so easy decision? And another issue: Russia responded after a lot of people were killed, and now you blaim Russia for the respond. But what if Russia responded immediately? Oh, what a loud cry it would be "Russia hits innocent soldiers which did not even kill enough people!"
Don't you think this is very strange logic of yours: in the post, you are writing how much time it took TO RESPOND for Russia, and unexpected conclusion about Russia's agression? Agressor does not respond, agressor strikes first, that makes him an agressor!
About my (or Putin's) "sympathy". It is not sympathy, it is usual respectful relation to all people, including Georgians or everybody. I believe, Putin has the same fillings. But it does not mean that very people we respect can kill other people. Don't you agree?
- September 14, 2008 at 5:00 PM
And about your sign "Stop Russia". In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to put here "Stop the USA". USA is the only country which benefited from all this. Now, the list
became a little longer (Georgia).
Though, soon it will be even longer (I mean Iran and Pakistan).
I do not say "Stop Georgia", since Saakashvili is not worth to be considered as a real danger without USA support.
- September 14, 2008 at 5:06 PM
About victims (in English):
Also, check some news from US Congress: sometimes it is beneficial even for politicians to tell the truth. They admit that Georgia started this.
- September 14, 2008 at 5:13 PM
- Katiée.Ge said...
Of course you can't provide any evidence because they do not exist.
I agree (according to the information I have though being far away from Georgia at present), that Georgian troops stepped first into Tskhinvali and Russians reacted afterwards.
The war did not start when Georgians stepped in, but only after Russian troops started to fight against Georgians, because there were NO active counter-attacks before August 8, one day after Georgian stepping in Tskhinvali...
To my personal mind that was a long planned PROVOCATION, which was concluded by killing Georgian policeman in Tskhinvali (about 10 people to my info) and this for sure FED UP Georgian government.
After that Russians let Georgian troops to enter Tskhinvali and then claiming that there was aggression committed against poor Osetians, Russian government started not only to REACT against Georgian troops in Tskhinvali but also to BOMB the WHOLE COUNTRY!!!
And if you can justify that, then, sorry, I will not continue to argue with you any more.
That's why RUSSIA is an AGGRESSOR and not Georgia.
Shall I put the picture of killed soldiers in the forests after the bombings? I don't want to do so, these pictures are such terrible, I really care about the people (especially their relatives) who may see that.
That's what Russia did.
And you can't show any evidence which will prove that Georgians did THE SAME and did it FIRST !!!
And the last thing, while speaking about US and its invasions.
You are not the only one who considers these facts unjustified, but don't you think that if someone else does the same, than you can try to do something against this "unfairness" and not "the same".. This will never be JUSTIFICATION for me or anybody else...
- September 14, 2008 at 5:26 PM
Katiee, you are right about that there is not any sense in arguing. You are not listening any arguments, and you are not answering any questions (not only mine). It is you who justifies the murder of people. It is understandable then that Saakashvili is right company for you. Well, good luck with that, and sorry for Georgian people who has president like that...
- September 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
And about your pictures: it reminds me the CNN movie where Georgian's "GRAD" was firing at Tskhinvali, and explanation "Russians started fire". No comments... Lie, lie, lie...

POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) Aaron Anderson hit three 3-pointers and scored 19 points Thursday night, helping North Dakota to a 66-53 victory over Idaho State.
Troy Huff added 15 points and Josh Schuler had 14 for North Dakota (4-8, 1-2 Big Sky), and Jordan Allard pulled down 10 rebounds. Both teams shot just 40 percent from the field, but North Dakota dominated the boards, outrebounding Idaho State 43-22.
Tomas Sanchez scored 15 for the Bengals (1-11, 0-3), who lost their sixth in a row. Andre Hatchett chipped in 11 points, and Chris Hansen had 10 points and four steals.
North Dakota never trailed and led 31-9 before the Bengals closed the first half on an 11-0 run. But Idaho State couldn't close the gap after halftime.
North Dakota took a 2-1 lead in the all-time series; the teams met for the first time last season and split their two games.
